No 1080p choice in Compressor's advanced format conversion folder?

I have some 480i DV footage that I need to upconvert to 1080p.
I wish to use Compressor for this but I find that Compressor only has 720p and 1080i settings but no 1080p option to upconvert to. What are my options in Compressor???
Thanks very much in advance,
- Nick

Advanced Format Conversion - PAL - NTSC question

I need to convert from DV PAL (@ 25fps) to DV NTSC (@ 23.98fps).
My first test conversion resulted in a DV file running at 29.97 fps.
Also, I seem unable to modify the speed settings in order to re-time from PAL to NTSC, which should run approximately 4% longer.
Can somebody guide me through how to achieve this?

Marc:
AFAIK standard DV NTSC is 23.97 fps, why do you need 23.98?
The best free way I found is with Compressor Advanced format conversion, using the settings you'll find in this thread posted by Andynick:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3055477&#3055477
Export your timeline as Quicktime Movie, same settings (self contained if you have space) and use that in Compressor.
Hope that helps !

Advanced Format Hard Drive not recognized by HP DV6000 Controller

Hello,
I have an HP DV 6000 laptop (6276 I think, I'm at work can't check) that came preinstalled with a Western Digital 160gb 1.5gb/s 5400 RPM drive (Vista) that failed a couple of weeks ago. So i bought a Western Digital 750 GB WD Black SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB drive to replace it. I read about people having some problems with Advanced Drive Format hard drives not being recognized by their controller, but also read that depending on the controller and specific Dv6000 model laptop they had-one wouldn't run into problems.
Well sure enough, when attempting to install Windows 7 I received the error that the hard drive was not detected. After researching online I came across an article on WD's site that noted
"Our SATA II hard drives use autospeed negotiation. This enables our SATA II drives to automatically detect the motherboard data transfer rate, making it backward compatible with SATA I data transfer rates. However, some older SATA I controllers are unable to support autospeed negotiation and cannot recognize the drive. This “drive not detected” condition occurs when a chipset is incapable of correctly negotiating the data transfer speed with a SATA II hard drive."
my drive is a SATA ||| but I'm pretty sure it's the same problem. The site goes on to say a fix would be to "purchase and install a third party PCI or PCI-Express Second Generation Serial ATA controller card for your Serial ATA hard drive(s)."
My question(s) are.
1)Is the problem that I am trying to install a Sata ||| hard drive on a laptop with a controller that will only recognize SATA | hard drive?
2) Or is the problem that the hard drive is an Advanced Drive Formatted hard drive and I need to buy a hard drive with out that specification?
3) Or Should I buy a SATA controller card as WD suggests on their website and if so will this definitely allow my laptop's controller to recognize the new hard drive and proceed with the installation?
4)Or Should I just return the hard drive and buy a SATA | non Advanced Drive Format hard drive? (question 2 basically)
Thanks for your help!

Hi @jasmine00
Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
I certainly understand your issue with the drive upgrade. Unfortunately it is a bit of the nature of notebooks, the sacrifice of a large amount of upgradeability, in exchange for compactness and portability. Whenever a new technology comes out, older notebooks are never really going to be easy to upgrade, it at all. Normally the unit as a whole is tested with a set list of hardware, and only those items are supported.
That being said there is this document that could be helpful with your problem.

Partition an Advanced Format drive with 4KB sector (for Linux OS only)

I got a brand new WD 1TB drive, model WD10EZEX, I'm upgrading from an old 500 GB drive with Arch running on it, and I'm going to make a fresh Arch install on it.
I suddenly learned about all this Advanced Format issue, with the first units "lying" about physical sector size and all that stuff, which started like 2 years ago and I was not aware of.
I couldn't find a step by step guide to perform the proper formatting for a fresh Linux OS install with 4KB-sector, despite the info is out there scattered in tons of blogs, forums, etc.
I figured out the steps for my simple setup, and I'd like to know if everything is all right. For the ones who already know the steps, can you please go to the bottom of the post, and tell me if the final setup is all right to start the fresh install ?? I reproduce all the steps hoping that this will help other people in the future.
I'll use the whole drive only for an Archlinux install, with one partition for the / and another for /home.
Seems the GPT modern method is the way to go, and the gdisk tool will do the trick. If we are booting from this drive, with GRUB2 in a BIOS system, we must also create a BIOS Boot Partition.
So, with the drive having no partitions at all, and sda being the device name

Your partitions look fine from an Advanced Format point of view. The test is simple: Are all your partitions' start points, as measured in sectors, divisible by 8? Yours are.
karamaz0v wrote:what confused me a bit, was that I saw a lot of setups with the BIOS boot partition, and also a 200 MB EFI one. Having a BIOS system, I think I don't need the EFI one.
Some people do this because they're unclear of their requirements. Others do it because they want to have the option of switching boot modes between BIOS/legacy and EFI. With both types of boot loader installed, you can choose on a boot-by-boot basis which way to start the computer, assuming it supports both boot modes.

Confirmation on Advance Format Drive

Hello all, I have been searching everywhere for this, I think I found it once before, but lost it when I was moving. I am using a advanced format drive which means I need the 2mb boot partition labelled ef02.
The problem I am having is when it comes to installing grub I was sure that you have to add some sort of line for it to use the ef02 partition.

An Advanced Format drive is one that uses physical sectors that are 4096 bytes in size, rather than the older standard of 512 bytes. Most (in fact, all, the last I heard) such drives present the illusion of using 512-byte sectors for compatibility purposes, though.
The gdisk partition type code of EF02 refers to a BIOS Boot Partition, which holds boot loader code for GRUB on disks that are partitioned using the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning system. Note that this partition is only necessary when using GRUB on a BIOS-booted GPT disk. If you've got an MBR disk or if you're booting in EFI mode, you don't need this partition.
These two issues are entirely unrelated. It's possible to use MBR (which has no equivalent to GPT's BIOS Boot Partition) on an Advanced Format disk, and it's possible to use a BIOS Boot Partition on a disk that's not an Advanced Format model.
As to GRUB installation, you should not need to issue any special command to get it to find the BIOS Boot Partition; it should find it automatically.

BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports

Hi BW Gurus,
Would like to bring to ur attention for a small solution which i have proposed for SAP Tech Ed. As a BW consultant, you would have come across a situation where you had to decide a reporting tool that was flexible, reliable, user friendly, less expensive and that can be used with less training but still have all the features of Excel.
Topic : BW Macros for Advanced Formatting of BEX Reports
Abstract : The workshop will help you to provide advanced formatting with Bex Reports. You will also learn how to add and retain Formats in Bex reports with BW Macros. Advanced formatting includes retaining of formats with excel shawdow boxes, automatic print settings, comments, hiding rows or columns, adding calculations, changing color, maintaining report titles. etc. The solution will help the business users/ power users to maintain different formats of a report without going for any 3rd party tools like Crystal or Business objects. As most of the business users are familiar with Excel, it would be easy for them to maintain or change the reports rather depending on IT for each change.
For additional details please have a look at this

Does AirPort Extreme support external drives with Advanced Format (4K) ?

Hi!
I have an AirPort Extreme from 2008 and now i want to use a Raid 1 USB HDD for Time Machine.
The new disks often has the new "Advanced Format" (4K blocks).
Does this APE support such 4k drives?
At the moment i don't have any experience with this new format,
for this reason i don't know if the APE or the hdd case has to support this format.
regards
Sebastian

1) I'm using a simple USB Disk, connected to my APE, as Time Machine Backup Volume. This works quite well for about a year.
Yes, for a few folks it does appear to work for a number of days, weeks, or months. But sooner or later, the backups turn up corrupted, often beyond repair. It happens to me about eery 3 months, which seems fairly typical. That's likely why Apple doesn't support it, and nobody should depend on it.
2) The RAID Case shows only a single disk to the connected device, raid 1 handling ist internal and so it's again just a simple usb disk.
Correct. I didn't say otherwise. In a supported location, Time Machine will back up to a hardware RAID set (but not a software one).
3) The link with the supported disks doesn't handle the new disk format 4k. :-/ Maybe the support entry is too old.
Note that it's a 2008 Airport Extreme; that predates the support article by at least a couple of years.
But by all means, call AppleCare if you don't believe the support article.

Backup and Restore image fails 3TB Advanced Format Drive Windows 7-32 SP1

Windows native backp fails to create an System Image, or a Complete PC Backup.
This occurs in Windows 7, 64 bit Professional, Windows 7, 32bit Ultimate, Windows Vista Business, 32 bit. It occurs in 6 different computers I've tried. All the backup drives are 3TB. I have tried Seagte USB and Hitachi USB drives. 4 of them. The Windows
7 Ultimate, 32bit machine has SP1. All operating systems are using the current Service Packs, and all of the MS Updates including all of the recommended harware drivers. All of the systems are using the latest BIOS, firmware and OEM drivers as well.
It looks like the issue may be causes by a deficiency in Windows related to the Advanced Format drive spec. All of the computers that qualified had the AF hotfix applied; Advanced Format Drives 512e 4k, Vista
and 2008 - KB2470478, Windows 7, and 2008 R2 KB982018
Error messages follow:
The Backup Failed.
Error message: One of the backup files could not be created. (0x8078002A)
The request could not be perfomed because of an I/O error. (0x8007045D)
This deficiency seems to apply across the board to different hardware manufacturers of external hard drives.
From what I have heard, Western Digital may have a format utility that addresses this issue, but only for WD drives.
Help.

Hi David,
Did you have found any error message？
Check if all the files have been created on the hard drive.
Check the Volume shadow copy service in services window. To check follow these steps:
i.
Click Start and type services.msc in the search box
ii.
Search for the Volume shadow copy service
Make sure the start- up type is automatic. Steps to set the services to automatic
i.
Search for the service
ii.
Right click on the service
iii.
If the service is stopped then Start the service
iv.
Select Properties
v.
And in the Start-up type select Automatic
This is the most definitive answer I can find so am taking this as the answer.

Toshiba Satellite: upgrade to Advanced Format hard drive?

Hi! I have a Toshiba Satellite. My hard drive is on the fritz, so I want to upgrade the hard drive. I called Toshiba support and asked what kind of hard drives I could use. They said "Any hard drive that isn't Advanced Format".
So I buy a new hard drive (that has no mention of being Advanced Format). It arrives, and (surprise) it says "Advanced Format" on the drive itself.
My question: is it okay to use Advanced Format drives on a Satellite? I know I'll probably have to update the BIOS, but beyond that, is there anything special about a Satellite that would cause it to have problems?

Toshiba's tech support is correct in the case when you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. It's likely you will have the sort of problems I have described in this message.

SOLARIS OS Support for Advance Format Hard Drives

Hello,
I am fairly new to the UNIX Operating System so I'm hoping that someone can help me. Does Solaris support the new Advance Format hard drives (4k sector boundaries)? I cannot find any mention of the advance format drive in the Oracle literature. I believe, based on my recent reading that Open Source Solaris depends on ZFS to handle the support of the new 4kbyte sector size.
Thank you in advance for any information you can supply.
Steve

Moderator Action:
This post has been moved to the Solaris 10 forum.
@ O.P.,
You originally posted your inquiry to the Clustering forum, which has nothing to do with the topic of disk cluster size.
Glance at the documentation for Oracle Cluster 4.0 to see what clustering is all about.

Do Advanced Format drives work in Lion?

I have a "new" mid 2009 MacBook, and I'm replacing everything on it so I can use it for school. I want to use Lion, and decided to get a new hard drive to compliment the upgrade.I ordered a WD Scorpio Black drive...but just realized it had Advanced Format in the description. I noticed alot of reviewers said it worked with their MacBook Pro's, but dont know if they succesfully got AF to work or not...sounds like there would be a serious performance hit if they couldnt get it to work.Does Lion have any way to format the drive in AF?Is it even necessary?

Advanced format has nothing to do with the format of the drive.
Advanced format means they switched from the 512 byte to 4k byte per sector.
Advanced Format is a generic term pertaining to any sector format used to store data on the magnetic disks in hard disk drivesthat exceeds 512 to 520 bytes per sector. Advanced Format is also considered a milestone technology in the history of hard-drive storage, where data has been processed in 512-byte increments since the inception of the hard-disk drive in 1956. Changing the sector format convention to larger data sectors, such as the 4,096-byte structure used in the first generation of Advanced Format technologies, uses the storage surface area more efficiently for large files but less efficiently for smaller files, while enabling the integration of stronger error correction algorithms to maintain data integrity at higher storage densities.

Recovering Windows 7 with advanced format drive failes without SP1

I have a dv6-2150us and the hard drive failed. I acquired a new drive and ran recovery disks. Unfortunately many features do not work correctly on an advanced format drive in Windows 7 without SP1. The key feature is Windows update does not work which prevents me from upgrading to SP1. I tried many fixes to Windows update and downloaded SP1 from Microsoft's site, but they all fail to install because update fails to run.
Any advice? I tried to install a fresh ISO of Windows 7 SP1 which works fine, but I would rather not pay for an OS I already own. My Windows license key doesn't work with the Windows 7 SP1 install.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

dv6guy,
Did the HP Recovery Discs actually fail to install??? Does the recovered install fail to boot completely or correctly. Or does the recovered install not only have isues with Windows update and/or other software???
If the recovery completes and you can enter Windows please try to use ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support to backup the installed HP OEM SLP key and HP OEM SLP certificate. Once you have these, save the complete ABR folder to an external location, like a USB stick. Next, install Windows 7 SP1 from your fresh ISO. Do not enter a product key when requested and do not allow Windows to try to activate the computer. Now, restore the key and certificate to your fresh Windows 7 SP1 install. Verify that Windows is activated. Post back and let us know if this succeeded or failed

PS3 and Advanced Format Issues (scorpio blue 500gb)

I just bought a scorpio blue 500gb that has advanced format i.e. 4k sectors and it is not working correctly with my PS3 slim with 4.75 firmware. I believe it's due to the advanced format tech used on the drive. Symptoms are constant corruption, PS3 rebuilds the database often after a cold start.very slow boot up sometimes, not everytime, but sometimes the drive indicator is solid for a long time and the screenstays black, sometimes it won't boot at all. I put a older scorpio blue 320 from 2008 and all the symptoms went away. The 500gb seems to work just fine in a USB enclosure when I format it on windows. Is there something special that needs to be done to these advanced format drives for the PS3?

Hi,
As a recommendation, check on the PS3 forums to see if they have any specific information about this. I haven't seen any post about this on the community.

How do I format my HDD to Advanced Format/512E to use 512K blocks with Windows Backup?

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. When running Windows Backup onto an external 4TB Touro HDD (2TB partition), I receive the error:
The last backup did not complete successfully. One of the backup files could not be created. Details: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
Error code: 0x8078002A
The cause was given on a forum as:
"The "root cause" is that Windows 7 (and its system tools) does not support a 4K native block size. As a workaround the disk can be formatted with "Advanced Format"/512E to use 512K blocks."
It was suggested I try WD Quick Formatter, but this only works with WD HDDs.
How do I format my HDD to "Advanced Format"/512E to use 512K blocks, so I can use Windows Backup with it?

Suggestions for a Non Advanced Format HDD for Satellite L450-136

I need to replace the HDD on my Satellite L450-136 and am looking for one compatible with it. Straightforward you may think, but I have found out the hard way that the Advanced Format HDDs that are on the market today do not work with the L450's Recovery Disk (because the version of windows 7 on the disk does not have SP1 applied). I have been told by Toshiba that there is no way round this apart from purchasing a "compatible" HDD.
However, I am having trouble sourcing a replacement HDD that does not have AF. So does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable replacement HDD but *without* AF?

Thanks for your reply. Yes you are right, the HDDs on the market now with Advanced Formatting are compatible with the notebook. I tested this by downloading an ISO of Windows 7 with SP1 applied, and this installed and ran without any probs. The only fly in the ointment was that I would need to buy a new license to use this on a permanent basis as the Toshiba Prod Id wasn't accepted by Microsoft as valid. Ubuntu also installed and ran ok although I didn't really want to go down this route.
When you say about formatting the HD on another PC, I have to admit I didn't try this. However, I may be wrong in this, but wouldn't the successful installation of either Ubuntu or Windows 7 with SP1 have formatted the disk? If this is the case, then using Recovery Disk after this still didn't work and got the same error.

No 1080p choice in Compressor's advanced format conversion folder?
