New web compression techniques?

Years back I bought Sorenson Squeeze v3. I used it to make .movs and .swfs in multiple sizes. It immediately bought the quality of my online presentations much higher.
About 2 years ago, I purchased FInal Cut Studio and began using h.264 in Compressor instead of .mov's with Squeeze.
I just updated all my applications. FCS2, Flash CS3, etc. I'm wondering now if I can also update my compression techniques.
I looked at On2 VP6 about a year ago, and liked it, but wasnt affected enough to buy.
What's the latest and greatest out there? What are the big boys using now? Is there anything on the horizon that I should be waiting for with Flash CS3 freshly released?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I think the choices are between Flash, and QT H.264... Flash because it's on every computer in the world and is a lot better than the MS solutions, and H.264, because I think it looks the best of all at any given data rate.

Try something like this:
public static byte[] Compress(string s)
var enc = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
var ms = new MemoryStream();
using (var cs = new GZipStream(ms, CompressionLevel.Optimal))
var bytes = enc.GetBytes(s);
cs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
return ms.ToArray();
public static string Decompress(byte[] bytes)
var enc = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
var ms = new MemoryStream(bytes);
using (var cs = new GZipStream(ms, CompressionMode.Decompress))
var tms = new MemoryStream();
cs.CopyTo(tms);
return enc.GetString(tms.ToArray());
static void Main(string[] args)
var s = "Hello I have a query regarding Compression technique in C# and its security....can u plz go thru this url nad suggeste whetherr its good or bad...is there any alternative solutions....? ";
var cs = Compress(s);
var s2 = Decompress(cs);
Console.WriteLine("passed {0}, string size {1}, compressed size {2}", s == s2, s.Length * 2, cs.Length);

Getting error while creating a new web app saying "The password supplied with the username domainname\username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again"

Hi ,
I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".
I tried running this command also "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password <newpassword>" but when it got executed it showed me "Access Denied".
What should i do ??
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Anurag

HI,
right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

New Web Application not creating correctly

I'm having an odd occurrence happen about 50% of the time right now when creating new web applications during my migration from SP2010 to SP2013.
During creating a web application in Central Admin, I can get through the first setup page, then get to the "This shouldn't take long" page and will sit there for 30+ minutes. I end up closing the window and will see that the Web application is there in
Central admin, and sometimes the DB will be created, other times not, not a big issue since I'm mounting a sp2010 database to this web application.
What I do notice is that either a IIS site will either not be created at all, or it will be created, but the Virtual Folder is empty. When trying to delete the Web Application through central admin or PowerShell it will hang for hours until the next day
when it's finally deleted. During this time I am not able to create any other web applications. It's usually at this time that I can successfully create a new web applications but even that is unreliable.
Has anyone ran into this issue or can suggest any workarounds to get this working? I'm wondering if copying the contents of another web application's virtual directory to the failed web application's virtual directory will be a workaround. I still need to
verify if creating a web application through PowerShell gives me the same headache but at the moment I'm currently waiting for a web application to delete.

Finally got this resolved after an 8 hour call with Microsoft. After finally getting the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service to restart (took 4 hours) We found that changing the Shutdown time in the Web Application Pool for the Central
Admin pool to 400 allowed for the Web Application to complete successfully.
I'm still confused to why everything is taking so long now to complete so i'll have to look into that next.
Folks, this is a minor problem that seems to be creeping up more and more. I personally have performed over 8 installs in various environments. I have seen this issue in 6 out of the 8 environments I have created. All servers I have tried a variation of
software. In MOST of my tests, this seems to be a problem. Not sure why they decide to recycle the App Pool just before they perform an "Virtual Directory Copy." Here are the results of my tests. I was very methodical in my testing and made sure these were
clean downloads every time. As you will see, I tried variations of hardware increases, physical to virtual, database versions and patch levels...etc.

Create a new web application, how shall I update the file server.xml

Hi,
I will create a new web application, i.e named newApp. Then I create a file structure as follows:
- <server-root>/newApp
- <server-root>/newApp/WEB-INF

To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
Something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
<init-param>...</init-param>
</servlet>
Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

This is very troublesome for our user community because they often do not notice the new page blinking and they keep clicking the link many times.

LDAP is not working on new Web Server

Hi, I configured LDAP authentication and it was working fine. After this I installed a new web server. I copied the security certificate etc ( copied everything from other web server) onto new webserver. When I try to login into Infoview or CMC then I get error message "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin" from the new web server. Its working fine from the old web servers.
Not sure what else I have to do now as I have done the same thing on old servers in the past.
We are on BOXI R2 SP3 with web server on IIS 6.0. We have three web servers and 3 processing servers ( with all services) in cluster env.
Thanks,

I am sorry I got confused with Pure Enterise authentication. I should have referred to my notes. I apologize for this. Web application server is involved in communicating to LDAP. Below is the process
1) User logs into the application
2) Web application server security plugin sends credential to LDAP directory
3) LDAP directory authenticate users.
4) Web application server's security plugin sends users credential to LDAP
5) CMS requests user and group info from LDAP
6) The LDAP returns this information to CMS Security plugin
7) CMS will grant access if users is member of mapped group
8) If access is granted then both CMS and WAS plugin create a session
9) The WAS sends an enterprise session token to user's browser
I was referring to login into Infoview using LDAP.
Thanks,

HT202225 I keep getting pop ups on my iMac for the first time in 6 years after one of my kids tried to watch football through crichd tv. safari now opens with smart search engine rather than google every time i try to open a new web page.

Ever since one of my kids tried to watch football on a website called crichd tv I keep getting pop us come up like Mackeeper and every time i try to open a web page it comes up with Smartsearch rather than google which is my preferred search engine in preferences. I have blocked extensions and changed homepage to google but this Smartsearch keeps overriding. Also a thing called MacKeeper keeps popping up I have followed the instructions to uninstall but the file it says to move to trash from the Applications folder but it simply isn't there or anywhere else. The file to uninstall Smartsearch is also not where they say it is in Library>frameworks>
Very frustrating from going from a perfectly working system to a now very frustrating and annoying pop ups coming uo after every time i open a new web page.
Any help or assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated.

You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

How to create a portlet for a new web page?

I create a web page "A" in the remote server and have another page "B" which have a button in it. And when push the button in page "B", I want to use PRC to add a new portlet object linking to page "A" to portal. How should I do this?
I know it's possible to add a new portlet template using IRemoteSession.GetPortletTemplateManager().CreatePortletTemplate(intparentFolderID, intwebServiceID), but how should I get the webServiceID while it haven't been created for the page "A". Must I create the web service in the portal server by hand? Is there any programmatic method to create a new web service by PRC? Or if there are some other methods to create a portlet for a new page without creating webservice, that would be a prefer.

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I'm looking for an add on that opens a new web page. In prior versions it looked similar to a "+" sign. It is not the "Open a new Window Button" Thank you.

The add on opens a blank new web page. For example, when on a web page, you can open a new page, with all bookmarks on the sidebar.

Looking for new web hosting

I'm currently hosting my site through GoDaddy. Plain and simple, I am looking to switch from them because of the way they choose to advertise their product. I'm looking for a new web hosting company to host my site and need some help finding a good one.
As for price, I'm looking for something in the same price range as GoDaddy. After a little research, these are the few that I've found:
iPage
BlueHost
InMotion Hosting
I'm pretty confident in my ability to choose a good one, but I just want to be sure there's nothing I'm missing about web hosting that would make it smart for me to avoid any of the above. Just a few notes about what I'm working with:
My site was made in DreamWeaver. The entire site is 17 html pages. It just contains mostly text, some spry and some embedded video, so not a lot needed for data usage.
If there is any other information needed for you to help me, let me know. Thanks!

If I were you I would go check out reviews on webhostingtalk.com . Very reliable forum for reviews and sometimes hosts like those post specials over there so you don't start off paying full price.

When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.
