Need help with video problems
Hi!
Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?
With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Hi,
I need to generate a clock with a period of 20 micro seconds, duty cycle of
approx 20% and a data line as well as an address line all linked to the clock
pulse.
I have tried many different solutions, all using the Daq PCI-1200 but nothing
seems to work correctly. Usually the system bombs and I have to do a manual
reset to over come the problem.
Any suggestions?
KenHallo, Ken,
Du meintest am 20.02.00 zum Thema Need help with daq problem:
> I need to generate a clock with a period of 20 micro seconds, duty

You'll need an external clock, expecially under Windows.
Windows ticks with appr. 18 Hz, and the CPU tick isn't always available
when Windows tasks multi.

Need help with getResource() problem under weblogic 6.1
Hey all,
I've got a serious problem that I can't figure out. This should be really
simple - but it's alluding me. I have an ear file with a number of servlets
inside it. This ear file also contains a resource that my servlets want to
read from. This resource is located (within the ear file) at:
"/content/structure/a.txt". The file contains raw ascii.
To have my serlvet read from this file, I thought it would be as simple as:
URL content =
servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/a.txt");
// pw is an instance of PrintWriter
pw.print(content.getContent());
However, when I execute the above I get the following exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)
at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)
at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:581)
OK, so fine - I figure that I'm new to this. The documentation for the URL
class tells me there is another way around this. It says that rather then
calling getContent() directly, I can open a stream on the URL and read from
that, like so:
URL content =
servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
es.txt");
FileInputStream fis = content.openStream();
but when I do this I get the following different exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.zip.SafeZipFileInputStream^M
at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
Apparently this thing is trying to return a web-logic-specific stream (which
is incompatible with an FileInputStream) - which I don't want to use or
learn about since I want my stuff to work under other webservers.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple.

Wenjin,
I appreciate your response. I tried treating it as a normal InputStream -
but it didn't make any difference. Here's what I did:
URL content =
servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
es.txt");
InputStream is = (InputStream)content.getContent();
And here's the exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException^M
at
java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)^M
at
java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)^M
at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:554)^M
at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java:807)^M
at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
You can see that it is definitely breaking somewhere in getContent().
If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Need Help With Video In Flex Mobile
Hi,
I have been searching quite a bit for information on this and have found really nothing useful for my problem. So far, I've converted the actionscript code posted here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/osmf-media-player.html
to work within my ios mobile project. The problem is that no matter what I have tried, I can hear the video but not see it. That codes uses the OSMF framework, which uses StageVideo I think, so I've tried setting the application background alpha to 0 as has been posted about; still no video though. The project is also set to use direct rendering. I've even tried some bare bones AS code to implement the StageVideo, as others have posted here, but still same thing. So can anyone either show me a working example or provide any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
thanksHi, Keith Lee -
I'm sorry that I cannot help with your problem, but I'm posting a few URLs that may perhaps help -

Need Help with Scrolling Problem
I have a JTree displayed in scrollpane. Based on search criterial I select the nodes where the search criteria is found. If the match is located off the screen further down into the tree, the node is highlighted but the scrollpane doesn't automatically scroll down to show it. Any help with this problem is appreciated.
Wow.. Thanks. I thought I would need some fancy code to handle this problem. scrollPathToVisible did it for me. Thanks.

NEED HELP WITH VIDEO SOUND PLS
just bought a 30 GB ipod, updated itunes to make the videos compatible. uploaded 3 music videos, they work perfect except they have no sound. dont know what the problem is. i havent' restarted my compute yet, maybe that's it but i highly doubt it. anyones opinion would be highly appreciated. thanks for your help guys.
-MIKENeither Quicktime Pro or iTunes have the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Videora iPod Converter seems to be popular amongst Windows users, although I've read that you might get mixed results using it. -
Months ago I have a problem on my G4 MDD which intermittently shuts down after putting it to sleep. Now some new problems are coming out. First one I noticed is that sometimes even the power switch light would turn off even though the computer is still on. I can still use the internet and such but noticed that when I need to digitized video footage using FCE there would be some noise on the video which leads me to conclude that the power is unstable. Am I correct in this? 2nd problem is sometimes it will not even power up unless I either pull the plug and plug it in again or open the side of the computer. Now regarding opening the side of the computer, I noticed that if I powered it up with the side door opened and try to close it the computer will shut down. Sometimes I managed to close the door and it will stay on with out a problem. Right now I just leave the side door open and so far power seems to be ok for 72 hours. So is this a logic board problem or a connection problem between the psu and the logic board?
I'm leaning towards Tom's opinion of heat, too. Modern Macs have thermal sensors that shut down the computer if key temps rise too high. Dual processor MDDs run especially hot, as do MDDs with both slots in the front drive bay occupied.
The two cheap things to do first are a) give the inside a cleaning, focusing on the main fan and its housing, and b) check your workspace to ensure that there is room around the computer for intake and exhaust air.
The primary air intake is not the four molded "ducts" on the front but rather the area at the bottom of the front panel below them. Keep that area clear--it's best not to put "bottom breather" computers like the MDD on the floor where that can pull in even more dirt. Crowding the exhaust in the back can run up temps, too. Try to position the tower so nothing is within 8 inches of the back, -
Hello,
I need some help with a project. What I eventually want is that a webcam controls the mouse position and the mouse position
controls a video. But first I would like the part where the mouse position controls the video.
So if the mouse is on the left on your screen the video will be at the first frame and when you move you're mouse to
the right the video will play accordingly to the movement. and stop when the mouse is all the way to the right.
Effectivly the mouse scrolles through the video. It only needs to be on the x-axis.
I'm not that formilliar with flash so any help would be great
Thx!
ThijsI fixed it in an other way.
Made a imgseq and following code (with some help ):
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, resizeHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, inputHandler);
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var imgSeq:ImgSeq = new ImgSeq();
var columnWidth;
var numColumns;
stage.addChild(imgSeq);
imgSeq.x = 350
imgSeq.gotoAndStop(1);
columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
function resizeHandler(e:Event):void {
// verdeel het scherm in kolommen, iedere keer dat het scherm geresized wordt.
// breedte van 1 kolom (schermbreedte gedeeld door aantal plaatjes)
columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
// totaal aantal kolommen dat binnen het scherm past (breedte gedeeld door breedte van één kolom )
numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
function inputHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
// voer dit iedere keer dat je de muis beweegt uit.
// kijk voor iedere kolom of de muis er binnen valt.
for(var i = 1; i <= numColumns; i++){
//vergelijking die checkt of de muispositie binnen de waarden van kolom valt.
if(mouseX <= i * columnWidth && mouseX >= (i * columnWidth) - columnWidth ){
// zet het framenummer van de imageSequence gelijk aan de huidige kolom.
imgSeq.gotoAndStop(i);
many thx! -
Need help with videos!!! Please
i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For Videos:
So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
Resetting iPod
Restore the iPod
For Purchased Music Skipping:
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

Need help with a problem after cloning my HD....
I recently cloned my HD to a backup drive. I did an erase and install of Tiger on my original drive. I recently cloned everything back onto my original drive from my backup drive. Now when I go to boot up on my original drive, for the first time ever I must type a Username and Password to log on to the computer. Trouble with this is, I tried my username and password and it would not work. I double, triple, quadruple checked my spelling and tried different combinations just in case i was being stupid, NOPE. It won't let me log on to my main HD. Can anyone help with this?
Let me get this straight. You did
1: Cloned your original boot drive to a external - not a problem
(did you boot from the clone to check it out?, did you use cloning software or???)
2: You erased your original boot drive - ok no problem.
3: You then installed Tiger on your original boot drive - ok no problem there
4: But you cloned from your clone back onto your original, freshly installed Tiger drive?
Why did you do this?
Cloning copies the whole drive, all the little hidden stuff, copy protection etc.
That's why it's called a clone.
Did you mean to say you copied certain folders/files from the clone onto the new Tiger install on your original boot drive?
What folders/files was these?
You need to copy the contents of certain folders inside your User folder, not the folders themselves.
What software did you use to clone with?

I need help with simple problems. im a student.
i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.
i have an idea to use a switch case statement. but i have no idea on how will i be able to do it. so if you guys can help me.. well then thankies..Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.
As part of your learning, you will have to develop the ability to select an approach to a problem, create a design that reflects that approach, and then implement the design with code that you create.
So, it's inappropriate for us to take the problem statement that you have been given and short-circuit your learning process by giving you the implemented problem solution. We can comment on the individual questions that you may have, and point out problems and errors that we see in the code that you develop.
As a hint, when you are stuck, forget about Java and programming. Just start with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and figure out how to layout the task on paper. The consider how to translate that to programming.
If you have problems, post short example code that shows the problem, and explain your question clearly. We can't read minds.
Make sure you post code correctly so that it's not mangled by the forum software, and so that formatting is maintained. Select your typed or pasted code block and press the CODE button above the typing area. -
