Need help with bios settings for Neo4 Platinum

Hi. I've checked several guides on bioses and still have questions about my settings. I'm not an overclocker, so I'm looking for stability over anything else (although I don't want my computer to run like a pig . I'll post what I have and the parts of the bios that I'm unsure of. I also have saved pictures of a Cpu-z scan if that helps. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
Here's my stuff:

Change your user config mode in dram configuration to manual and change your memory timing to 1T. The 1T setting will speed up your memory slightly.

Need help with jumper settings for k7n2 delta ilsr

I have a k7n2 delta ilsr and I'm using a AMD 2800+ barton 333 fsb. I'm not sure what the jumper settins are for this cpu. The users guide only shows 133/166 and 200, can anyone help me with the jumper settings.
Thanks, Ron.

Hi,
As your processor is 333FSB - the jumper should be set to 166FSB as should the BIOS. As your RAM CPU combination runs at 2x166=333 or thereabouts.
Basically, as a general rule, if you halve the FSB speed of your processor you'll get the setting for both BIOS and Jumper. 200FSB=100, 266FSB=133, 333FSB=166 etc. etc.

Need help with JSSE settings for Axis2 auto-generated client.

Hi all.
I have several working clients generated for me in Axis2 from WSDL's using wsdl2java utility. The clients use HTTP transport but I need to use HTTPS now. I assume JSSE is used for SSL communication in Axis2.
I have created the keystore and set these parameters in code.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/path/to/.keystore");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "changeit");
The lower level mechanics such as socket creation and utilization are hidden from me in Axis2.
What other ssl parameters can be set similar to these? I particularly care about protocol, cipher, keep-alive? I couldn''t find the whole list with possible values. Or may be I should use some different method to set them?

Hi,
While creating the stub use https as end point instead of http.
example: https://java.bytesforall.org/webservices
Configure the properties for the SSL and so that jsse be have accordingly
https.cipherSuites,javax.net.ssl.trustStore ...etc.
If you are planning to make your webservice client FIPS complaint. Currently there is a problem with Axis1.4 it is not honoring the property "https.cipherSuites" to use the cipher suites.
Let me know, if you need any further help

Need help with capture settings for Beta SP

I'm trying to capture footage shot on Beta SP, capturing from a BetaCamSP UVW-1600 deck. I'm trying to capture at full quality, and currently have my capture preset set at 10-bit uncompressed. I'm not sure what the exact settings should be within the preset.
When I have it set to this preset, the footage shifts when there is camera movement, and when there are flashes from a snapshot camera in the footage, that frame becomes unusable.
This footage is for TV and I don't know how to get full quality and fix this image field shifting problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are you capturing this? With what capture card?
BetaSP is technically 8-bit uncompressed. All you are doing capturing 10-bit is increasing your file size.
8-bit uncompressed 29.97...whatever setting that is with your capture card.

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

Help with print settings for Panoramas

Hi,
I use an Epson 2880 and I am trying to figure out the print settings for doing an 11 x 34in panorama print on 13" roll paper from Aperture 3.0.3. I finally got it to do one print properly, but the setup was totally counter intuitive and I can't reproduce it. I tried using "Custom" Paper size and setting it to 13" x 36", then using the landscape mode and setting the Image Size to 11 x 34". Any way I did this ended up with the image printing the wrong way on the paper. So I went back and picked "Roll" paper. This leaves only one field to fill in, which I presume is the paper width (it really didn't make this obvious in the dialogue.). Then I set the mode to Portrait, and made sure that the settings for the Image size were 11 x 34. It then printed fine. But when I went back to print another file, even though I had saved the settings, now I am presented with only one box for specifying the Image Size and there is no way to get it right again. HELP! The settings for this kind of print in Photoshop is also counterintuitive, but when you get it set right, and you know the settings, no problem reproducing it. I think maybe there is a bug in AP3 with regard to this sort of setup.

Need help with drive installation for K9N2 SLI Platinum

Hi
I am new to the forum and to MSI
This is my 6th computer build and first time using SATA and PCIe
My hardware includes:
•   MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum Motherboard
•   Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5
•   GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3
•   AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad Core Processor, Black Edition 2.5GHz
4MB Cache 2000MHz [4000 MT/s] FSB
•   Thermaltake Ruby Orb Aluminum Core CPU Cooler
•   UltraX3 850 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply
•   [1] Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133
•   [1] Maxtor 80MB ATA133 Drive [Not connected yet]
•   [1] Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA II HARD DRIVE
•   [2] Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB SATA Hard Drives With 32 MB Cache
[Not connected]
•   LG DVD-RW
•   Toshiba DVD-ROM
•   AMI Bios
•   Antec Full Tower case
The board set up fine, but I can’t figure out how to install my drives. The MSI directions are the worse I’ve ever seen, or should I say non-existent. They don’t even describe the bios entries… I am familiar with the bios, but don’t know all the settings for the board. I set the time and date and had to rearrange my drive placement on the board to have my 2 DVD drives show up on the secondary IDE Channel instead of the primary IDE. The Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133 is on the primary master IDE. I’m old fashioned so I still use FDISK to erase the old OS and partition the drive… I couldn’t see my SATA drive in FDISK even though I could see it in the bios. Now I want my Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA II HARD DRIVE to be the system drive and the Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133 to be a slave drive. My previous boards had raid but I just used them as additional slave drives.
My goals: I want to have redundancy for my personal audio/video and my work. I will use the 2 Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB SATA drives for that.
I also want 2 additional drives not purchased yet for my other data storage needs and for games
My questions are:
Can I use the SATA drive as the system drive if a drive is connected to the primary IDE?
How do I set up Raid on this board? I actually want to use its capabilities this time.
Does this board present any special problems with dual booting XP sp2 and Vista 64bit.
If I put another set of Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5 in anticipation of installing Vista 64bit will this cause a problem other than windows XP not seeing the additional memory.
Is there additional documentation for this board somewhere?
Please help…I have been working on this thing for 4 days straight. My last build took 2 hours not including software installation. Hope I stated everything you need to know. Thanks in advance

Hello!
Advice no. 1 will be not to have everything connected at once. Have the chosen SATA and one of the DVD:s connected and install Windows. (Windows can only boot from bootable devices. It "jumps" all un-bootable.) Once you have a successful boot and happy with it, remove other things from the boot-sequence.
Eh, some of your questions suggest you don't have the full manual, but a multi-lingual one. Check this out, bottom of the list:

Help with FMLE Settings for Sports Broadcast

Hello,
I am in need of some help tweaking my settings in FMLE. I put on various sports broadcasts, but one of my clients has limited bandwidth (avg ~2.5-3mbps upload).
I'd like to keep the output pixel size at 640x360 so that it takes up our entire player and doesn't letter box it, but with the larger video size I sometimes run in to either buffering,or pixelated video depending on how the bandwidth is that particular day. I'd like to stream between 800k-1000k.
I am using VP6 codec and using an Osprey Card as my capture device.
Some of my questions are:
1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window. Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data. Same with Datarate Window. Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function. Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit? If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
4)Should I deinterlace my video? We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher. Everything is analog SD.
I am able to drop by bitrate down to 600K and the stream does not buffer, but it starts to get pixelated. I would think that 3mbps upload bandwidth is enough to stream at 800k. Any help adjusting my settings to shapen the imagine would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
--> Always capture at the same size, unless the device/card doesn't support that size.
2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window. Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data. Same with Datarate Window. Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
--> Data rate window is useful for unexpected source data that might not encode well within the specified bit-rates. For example, if you set data rate window to "tiny" and a complex frame (source data) arrives, then encoder will not allocate some extra bits to encode that frame in good quality. But if you set the window to huge, then that complex frame will be encoded in good quality by allocating more bits to it. So, basically, the "delta" around the specified bit-rate increases on moving from "tiny" to "huge" data rate window. Your output bit-rate will vary more in case of "huge" setting.
3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function. Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit? If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
--> I can explain the difference between the 2 options and you can experiment with both and stick to one, which gives a better user experience under your bandwidth conditions.
a. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Drop frames option will intelligently drop some frames. As a result of this, you might observe video stalling depending upon the severity of the bandwidth conditions.
b. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Degrade quality option with a min. video bit-rate value of say 500 kbps will try to encode all the frames within this 500 kbps limit. As you are reducing the bit-rate from the original value of say 800 kbps, the quality is bound to degrade. If you check the "preserve per frame quality" option then the encoder will encode >=50% of the frames within the specified bit-rate of 500 kbps. As the no. of frames are less the per frame quality will be better than the previous case. There is a possiblity that even after degrading quality, the buffer is exceeding the given limit then the degrade quality option will automatically switch to the drop frames option.
4)Should I deinterlace my video? We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher. Everything is analog SD.
--> Deinterlace option is only available for video sizes >= 640x480.

Need Help! Bios file for Compaq SR2010NX

Hello all, I'm looking for the original bios file for the SR2010NX. HP doesn't have it on their website and my computer won't boot correctly with it. ahhhhhh. I appreciate any help!!!
Thanks John

According to what I found, that has this motherboard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757470&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=323...
Which is a A8M2N-LA Naos-GL6, is this that what you have? And what BIOS are you looking for, or should I say what did you try to put on it?
I happen to have the same motherboard on an old Compaq, so I could possibly exctact the BIOS file if it is the one you are looking for. It showes 3.00 I beleive but I will check if you need the info.

I need help with export settings

Hi everyone,
I need help outputting an HD file for presenting a video to a client. I have tried exporting to HD .mov (H.264 codec) and PE keeps crashing (error compiling movie). From what I’ve read here, it’s due to the gargantuan file QT creates and HD space (even though I think I have enough HD available).
So, I need a recommendation from you on what kind of file to output which will allow me to present the movie to the client in HD. This file is solely for the presentation, I have already published for web (FLV) and YouTube (direct share from PE) and they both worked fine.
Here are my project specs:
Timeline:           4:26
Format:               1920 X 1080 HD
Timebase:          29.97 frames per second
OS:                        Windows XP SP3
Processor:          Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz
RAM:                    4GB
Project Drive:   250GB disk with 152GB free space internal dedicated project drive (separate from OS)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jose

Hi Steve, Neale,
I wanted to follow-up on this post. I came into the office today to run a few tests so I can make sure that I have the correct settings on my camera and PE project for the next time around. Here are few observations I was wondering if you can comment on:
My Sony camera cannot shoot HDV. The only format it supports is AVCHD, so I'm stuck converting.
I tried to convert the footage I have to HDV with the software I have (AVS Video Converter and Koyote Soft HD Converter) and neither of the two have an "HDV" conversion setting. I see AVI, MPEG, MOV and many different settings in each (AVI: Hd Video 1080p: H.264AVC, 29.97fps, 4200kbps, Audio MP3, 256 kbps or MPEG: HD Video 1080p - MPEG2, 15000 kbps, 1920X1080, 29.97fps, etc). What should I be looking for?
I searched for "best file format" in the forum and found various postings from both of you referring to converting to DV-AVI within PE; especially if you have AVCHD footage (which I have). So, I followed directions and converted a file for testing. Then, I created a new project using HDV 1080i 30 settings and imported the converted file. I still get a red line on the timeline. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
I also converted the MOV files (shot in HDV 60i with the pro camera) to DV-AVI. I also get a red line on the timeline...
The DV-AVI converted footage (both cases) doesn't appear to be HD. It looks jagged on the preview window. Is it HD?
The DV-AVI converted footage is almost double the file size as the MTS (AVCHAD) file (138mb vs. 60mb). Isn't that going to make PE run slower?
Thanks in advance for your help. I just wanna make sure I do my homework now so I set everything up correctly on the next project.
Jose

Need help with onboard settings

Hello, dont know if this is the right place for my question so if it isnt can someone please direct me to the right one.
Ok well I just bought a MSI G31TM-P21 Motherboard yesterday and I also bought a Geforce 7300GT PCI express card (i know its not the best video card) but anyways I was wondering does the motherboard have a video jumper setting? Because the bios gives me the option of PCI-PCI-E, Internal as a startup choice, but when I plug in the monitor with the new card its blank. I tried clearing the CMOS but still nothing. So again does this motherboard have a video jumper setting or does the bios have a video disable feature that I am overlooking here?
Thanks in advance

Quote from: Alex.Ethuba on 19-August-09, 18:52:25
also make sure your BIOS is up to date.
Again, DONT update the bios unless absolutly necessary .
And furthermore, please dont give this advice first hand, some people are not that confident with computers and may wreck it by updating, cause they use the wrong way, i.e. LiveUpdate or other win based program, which can be risky.
Read how much people killed their pc, by updating bios, "just for the heck of it" or "so that Ive got the newest bios", which is a load of ......
If you have a unsupported cpu, then you need to flash, no sooner!
@ queequeeg,
Hello and welcome.
Try as Alex said and set card to pci-e and disable onboard vga, if you have one and try again, do not update bios, cause vga cards dont need an biosupdate prior to installing, especially an older model vga like you have, must work normal without updating.
Also please list all your specs in a signature like mine, this way we can help better, i.e CPU, PSU, with full details on amp's, memory, vga, mobo etc.

Help with PAL settings for Sequence

Hi –
I’m having some issues with a PAL project and need some help with the right sequence settings. I have 3 camera angles that are all PAL that I am trying to edit together in a multi-clip sequence and everytime I add anything to the timeline I am getting the red render bar. I've tried all different PAL settings but nothing is working. Here are the specs of the DV clips:
Frame Size : 720 X 576
Vid Rate – 25 FPS
Compressor DV-PAL
Data Rate – 6.9mb/sec
Pixel Aspect – PAL – CCIR-601
Audio 48Khz
Aud Format – 32bit – Floating Point.

From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. What setting is selected there?
From the menu bar: Sequence > Settings. What setting is selected there?
In both cases they should be set to DV PAL.

          - ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MON')
