[NEW RELEASE] Arista - Easy to use transcoder for the GNOME Desktop

I have created packages (regular and nightly releases) in the AUR for a new program called Arista.
http://programmer-art.org/projects/arista-transcoder
An easy to use multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop. Arista focuses on being easy to use by making the complex task of encoding for various devices simple. Pick your input, pick your target device, choose a file to save to and go.
Arista has been in development since early 2008 as a side project and was just recently polished to make it release-worthy. The 0.8 release is the first public release and includes a to-do of items that will be completed for the 1.0 final release.
Features
    * Presets for iPod, computer, DVD player, PSP, and more
    * Live preview to see encoded quality
    * Automatically discover available DVD drives and media
    * Rip straight from DVD media easily (requires libdvdcss)
    * Simple terminal client for scripting
Requirements
Arista is written in Python and requires the bindings for GTK+ 2.16 or newer, GStreamer, GConf, GObject, Cairo, and DBus. If you are an Ubuntu user this means you need to be using at least Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). The GStreamer plugins required depend on the presets available, but at this time you should have gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly, and gst-ffmpeg. If you are on Ubuntu don't forget to install the multiverse packages.
Development
All development will happen on Launchpad, which provides bug tracking, distributed version control, milestone / roadmap planning and tracking, a forum and translation utilities.
EDIT: I guess I should add AUR links =-)
Regular release: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25872
Bazaar (nightly) release: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25876

I'd say yes, since it is optional (only if you want to transcode from DVD)
"Yes" is a strange answer to an "Or" question

  • How can i use AME for the new OAF page.

    Dear all,
    I have developed a new OAF page and registered under Employee Self Service.
    How can i use AME for the approval process.
    Appreciate your ideas?
    zamora

    I will try to answer based on my experience of working with iProcurement and AME. It depends on how you want to make a call to AME , directly from OAF Page or from Workflow and your requirement. You didn't specify what you want to show the users on OAF Page and your business requirement.
    Before calling AME Engine from the OAF page or workflow, I guess you did already setup AME Transaction Type and it's Approval Groups, Conditions, Action Types and Rules. Do some testing from AME Business Analyst Test Workbench. Please note that, AME provides lot of PL/SQL API's that you have to call from your programs (java or workflow pl/sql)
    Let's look at the workflow and putting an OAF Page as notification.
    As Sameer said, you have kick-off workflow process from PR of CO and with in the workflow function, you make a call to AME Engine API's with the AME Transaction ID. This transactionId belongs to the AME Transsaction Type that you setup. Based on the rules setup, AME Engine generates list of approvers/approver and stores them AME Tables for that transactionId. Then, it sends a notification to the approver.
    In the workflow, where that notification is defined, in the message body you have to put an attribute(&XX_WF_FWK_RN) of type document/send. And this attribute will have the constant JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_FUNC&paramId=-&DOCUMENT_ID-. This function is SSWA Jsp function that makes a web html call to your OAF Region.
    If your requirement is to just show the list of approvers on the OAF Page, you may have to call AME API diectly passing your AME TrasnactionId with other parameters. Then AME generates list of approvers and stores them in AME tables with each approver status. You can pickup those approvers using VO and show them on OAF Page.
    Hope this gives some idea.

    The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device.  Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up.  It keeps syncing to the old library...

    How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the exisisting programs

    Hi
    1. The ALV Grid Control is a tool with which you can output non-hierarchical lists in a
    standardized format. The list data is displayed as a table on the screen.
    The ALV Grid Control offers a range of interactive standard list functions that users need
    frequently (find, sort, filter, calculate totals and subtotals, print, print preview, send list,
    export list (in different formats), and so on. These functions are implemented in the
    proxy object class. You as the programmer have the possibility to turn off functions not
    needed. In most cases the implementations of the standard functions provided by the
    control are sufficient. However, if required, you can adjust these implementations to
    meet application-specific needs.
    You can add self-defined functions to the toolbar, if necessary.
    The ALV Grid Control allows users to adjust the layout of lists to meet their individual
    requirements (for example, they can swap columns, hide columns, set filters for the
    data to be displayed, calculate totals, and so on). The settings (list customizing) made
    by a specific user are called a display variant. Display variants can be saved on a userspecific
    or on a global basis. If such display variants exist for a list, they can be offered
    to the user for selection. If a display variant is set as the default variant, the associated
    list is always displayed based on the settings of this variant.
    2. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    3. Use of Field Catalog is to determines the technical properties & add formating information of the column.
    6. all the definition of internal table, structure, constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
    7.fieldcat-fieldname
    fieldcat-ref_fieldname
    fieldcat-tabname
    fieldcat-seltext_m
    5. Form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    <b>The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;</b>
    1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
    2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
    3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
    4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
    5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
    Purpose of the above Functions are differ not all the functions are required in all the ALV Report.
    But either no.7 or No.8 is there in the Program.
    <b>
    How you call this function in your report?</b>
    After completion of all the data fetching from the database and append this data into an Internal Table. say I_ITAB.
    Then use follwing function module.
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
    I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = 'Prog.name'
    I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'I_ITAB'
    I_DEFAULT = 'X'
    I_SAVE = 'A'
    TABLES
    T_OUTTAB = I_ITAB.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
    ENDIF.
    ENDFORM. " GET_FINAL_DATA
    The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
    contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70. Each of the
    activities 01, 02 and 70 controls the availability of particular
    functions (in the menu and the toolbar) of the ALV line item list:
    a) 01: "Settings -> Display variant -> Save..."
    b) 02: "Settings -> Display variant -> Current..." and
    "Settings -> Display variant -> Current header rows "
    c) 70: "Settings -> Display variant -> Administration..."
    Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
    most restricted one: The user can only select layouts which have
    been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
    named above are inactive with activity 03.
    Now if you want to permit a user to change the column selection and
    the headers as well as to save the layout thus created, for example,
    but if you do not want to permit the user to administrate the
    layouts, you grant him or her the authorization for activities 01
    and 02.

    I have used Sony for the past 5 or 6 years.  They recently stopped selling books and migrated their customers to Kobo.   In uploading the Kobo site it looks like I added a new Adobe ID.  Then my reader and computers were out of sync.  When I try to download books I get that they were already downloaded by another user, but also that they are in my library.  However, I can't find them, and if I do download, it gives me an error message that the book is DRM protected.  How do I get to the point where I can download books again?

  • When I enter an event in iCal, soon thereafter multiple other "New Event" notices (one to four) appear for the same day. If I delete these unwanted "New Event" notices, they later reappear -- sometimes multiplying like rabbits. Any suggestions?

    Well, using iMovie to rearrange clips in a mini DV video edited by another program is extremely time consuming. I found a workaround. It still takes time, but it's much faster than rearranging the clips using iMovie.
    The workaround is as follows. Bring up Finder and go to the directory where your event's clips are stored (typically ~/Movies/iMovie Events/<name of event>). It helps to setup Finder to be in Cover Flow mode, so you can see the beginning of each clip. Then, sort the files in ascending order by the 'Date Modified' field. This makes Finder sort the files in the same order that they were imported from the mini DV tape. Clips with timecodes have the naming convention "clip-<year>-<month>-<day> hour;minute;second.dv". Clips without timecodes use another naming convention. With the files sorted by "Date Modified" in Finder, rename clips as needed so that the date/time in their file names are in ascending order. Note: when you rename a file, you need to restart iMovie. I suggest not running iMovie while renaming files.
    I believe the file date/timestamp is only accurate to the second. Occasionally, there may be a couple of clips that have the same date/timestamp. This may cause the ordering to not be correct. The best way to find these is through iMovie. To modify a file's date/time, right click on the clip in the event in iMovie, and then select "Adjust Clip Date and Time...".
    So, this workaround is a lot easier and faster than trying to rearrange things from scratch in iMovie. But it's still time consuming. Creating a project out of an already edited video should take less than 5 minutes (not counting import time), but that's not the case.
    I submitted an enhancement request to Apple asking if they can add an option to sort an event's clips in the order that they were imported by iMovie. Those who have the same issue as me, I suggest you submit an enhancement request as well.
    Anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

    You can change the time, day, alarm, or any other settings for any events you’ve created, or you can delete an event.
    You can’t change the events on a calendar you’ve subscribed to (subscribed calendars appear in your Calendar list under the heading “Subscriptions”), and you can only change the calendar, status, and alarms for events you’ve been invited to.
    To change or delete an event:
    To change the time or day of an event you’ve created, drag the event to the new time or day in the main calendar view.
    To change an event’s duration, drag the event’s top or bottom edge. (You can resize events only in Day or Week view.) If the event is an all-day event, in Week view, drag the left or right side of it.
    To change the name of an event, double-click it. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Select the event name, type a new name, and then click Done. (You can also change the name of an event without opening the event editor by holding down the Option key while you double-click the event name.)
    To edit other characteristics of an event (for example, how often it repeats or whether it has an alarm), double-click the event. If necessary, click Edit to open the event editor. Make your changes.
