One last question about apple tv!! viewing movies in movies folder

thanks to those who have responded to my previous questions.
thinking of buying an apple TV this weekend, but here's my last question (which I just thought of!)
i've got a collection of movies in various formats, usually .mov or .dv of home videos i've made in FCE and iMovie over the years, some of them several GB in size (oops!)
what's the best way of viewing these on the apple tv. for instance
1. does apple TV let you look into your 'movies' folder in the home folder to play any movies it finds there
2. will it play .dv or .mov files, or does it need to be a specific format
3. i've noticed an 'export to apple tv' in quicktime pro, do i need to do this for all my movies before apple tv will play them. and after i do an 'export to apple tv' where do the files need to be? imported into itunes, or just sat in my 'movies' folder?
cheers, looking forward to visiting the apple store tomorrow!

1. does apple TV let you look into your 'movies' folder in the home folder to play any movies it finds there.
No, the tv uses itunes for its source of movies.
2. will it play .dv or .mov files, or does it need to be a specific format
DV, no. MOV, maybe. MOV is a container type not a compression type, if the MOV container has the correct compression formats in it then it will play. Movies for the tv need to be either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10 (H264/AVC)
3. i've noticed an 'export to apple tv' in quicktime pro, do i need to do this for all my movies before apple tv will play them. and after i do an 'export to apple tv' where do the files need to be? imported into itunes, or just sat in my 'movies' folder?
Yes 'export to tv' will do the job for you. You need to be aware though that DV with the wrong field dominance will cause it a problem, and some cameras do use the wrong field dominance. It won't work with muxed files (mpeg2 for example) and on SD movies it can be a little wasteful on space. I've always used mpegstreamclip to convert from DV.
Of course from now on you'll be using FCE with this in mind and exporting accordingly.

One last question about upgrading my old computer

I purchased an older HP computer P6243W
(it's all I can afford on my VA disability)
I'm looking to upgrade the video card buy purchasing a low priced PCIe Express X16 video card
I need a little more video power to play diablo 3
(please forgive my ignorance)
Question 1: Will a PCIe Express 2.0 X16 work in the slot ?
Question 2: The intergraded video on the mother board uses ddr2 memory can the video card I purchase use gddr3 memory ?
** Thank You in advance for any info you may be able to give **

(please forgive my ignorance)
Question 1: Will a PCIe Express 2.0 X16 work in the slot ? The PCI Express slots are backward compatible. Therefore, the PCI Express 2.0 will work in PCI Express 1.0 slot. Here are the System Requirements for the game. The recommended video card is a HD 4870 or larger.
Question 2: The intergraded video on the mother board uses ddr2 memory can the video card I purchase use gddr3 memory ? Once the dedicated video card is installed the Integrated Video is disabled. Therefore, they are independent of one another. The major conecern when buying a dedicated video card is, the wattage required for it to operate properly. I believe that the power supply unit (PSU) in your computer may be 250W to 300W. You can check the lable on the PSU to find the wattage. It will be difficult to find a video card that will operate with that wattage.

One last question about capturing from tape

I have a box full of family VHS tapes that I will be capturing into the computer to digitally archive. However, I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way. These are the two things most important to me:
1. Quality
2. Longevity
1. Quality
I have a VHS/MiniDV JVC SR-VS30 deck connected via firewire into my 2014 iMac. I know that firewire is typically the best option when capturing DV footage into the computer. However, is this still true for VHS and other forms of old tape. I can hook anything up to this deck via composite/s-video in and go out through the firewire connection. However, I wasn't sure if firewire was the best coming from a VHS tape. I also have an old video capture card that has a straight s-video/composite input. Which would be more native to the VHS/analog tapes as far as keeping original quality and the best possible image?
When I use the JVC deck, some programs will capture the vhs tapes and others won't because they won't recognize unless I'm using the DV side. For example, FCPX recognizes the deck, but when I go to import unless it's a dv, it will say "no tape" and I cannot capture anything. iMovie will capture files as .DV. Quicktime will also recognize the deck and capture files as apple prores MOV files. When I compare the QT and iMovie, the QT files look better in my opinion, though I don't know if they truly are. The iMovie dv files have jagged edges like tv lines or something during quick movement and like others say about firewire it looks a little "milky" (though I know this isn't necessarily a bad thing). The QT clips don't necessarily look sharper, but they don't have the hideous jagged edges.
So my question before I start this large project is:
Which capture methods above would you use, or what else would you recommend for best quality?
2. Longevity
Which file format would you recommend saving these files (or just keeping them as they are at capture) for long term storage? When I come back to these files in 10 years and need to convert them to something new, I want them to have the greatest chance of being compatible with whatever lies ahead. There are so many different file formats.
Many thanks for any help along this long process

I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way.
I have done lots of that.
For maximum quality here is my procedure: ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09/11.
To get your VHS video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300 . With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).
The ADVC300 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The included software (which is not really necessary but does enhance performance) is not compatible with OS 10.7 or newer. You can still find the ADVC300 for sale in a few outlets as well as eBay. It will sell between 50% and 100% ABOVE its retail price. Yes, it's that good.
If you can’t find the ADVC300, use the Grassvalley ADVC110.
I have a drawer full of analog-to-digital converters. After using the Grass Valley ADVC300 I find nothing else acceptable.
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source (VCR, Tivo, Satellite Receiver) and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09, 11, and 13 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video. (Also the latest iMovie CANNOT set Chapeters !)
After lots of experimenting I get the best results using OS 10.6, iMovie 06, and iDVD 09/11. My movies look just like Hollywood!
My primary computer is a Mac Pro, so I just use one of the four hard drives and boot OS 10.6. You can also partition a single hard drive to achieve the same results.
This may seem like more trouble than you want to go through. However, I find the superior quality to be well worth it.

One last question about building and formatting

When I am writing my DLT do I need to remove the .layout file and the Data.lay file? It will already be built but I will be using DVDSP3 to write the DLT. Are they removed automatically? The manual seems ambiguous about this.
Also I need to output in the DDP2.0 format (Its a DVD-9). I can't select this without choosing build and format. I have been testing by building to my desktop and testing on the Apple DVD player. If I choose build and format will it rebuild the project? And if it rebuilds is it possible for me to get something besides what I have been checking? I just want to make sure I write the same thing to the DLT that I have been checking.

you can also get ddp by just doing format as opposed to build and format. You can not open a ddp image in dvd player to test it, so there really is no use of building it to your hard drive. If you have already built the project and you have a video ts folder, then you can go under format and choose the dlt drive as your location and make sure you are referencing the folder with the videots in it.
there wont be anychanges from the video ts after it has been built, it is merely converting it into a ddp image.

Canon HG20 One Last Question

Before I buy my Canon HG20, I have one last question.
I have seen warnings various places on the net about having a powerful enough computer to work with the data produced by this camera.
I have an iMac 24 2.16 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 MHz Memory, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 card, running OS X 10.5.6 with FCE 4.0.1.
Am I OK?
Thanks,
Jim

That is a perfect machine for AVCHD editing. i use a puny Macbook and I have experienced no problems, everything is very fast. To work with AVCHD, you need an Intel processor and to have at least FCE4. 2GB of RAM is also a good idea to have (I assume that's what you meant you had when you said you had "2 MHz Memory"). From what you have said of your specs, I can't foresee any problems. If a Macbook can do it well, you can expect an iMac to do it amazingly.
Enjoy your new camcorder, I definitely am pleased with my HG21 (basically the same thing, just more memory and a viewfinder).

HOW TO KNOW THE SECURITY QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLE ID?HOW TO KNOW THE SECURITY QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLE ID?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

Thanks for the idea. One last question..

Thanks for the replies, setting it to passive seemed to work
as I can now upload to my host. Just one last question, I've
searched the video knowledge base looking for a video on how to use
the 'Starter Pages' within Dreamweaver to no avail. When I try I
always get the same message: 'Dreamweaver stores templates in the
root folder of a site, but there are no sites defined. Please add a
site.' I have my site all layed out in Dreamweavers FTP, I can
upload and download with it and still Dreamweaver gives me this.
Any ideas?
Thanks once again all

Using FTP & RDS Server for your site means that you will
not be able to use
DW's Templates or Library items. It's usually a very bad
idea, to boot.

One more question about upgrading HD

EVeryone was really helpful last time, I have one final question:
Does the name matter for the HD?
I have bought my HD, used SuperDuper and am actually already working off the new HD via Firewire.
Does it matter what I NAME the new Drive? When I used Super Duper I called it "New Startup". The current HD is called "Macintosh HD". Is this a problem?
Thanks guys!

@Niel: How about localized chars (ä, ß, î, etc.) and such ones that may have a special technical meaning (like /, *, -) ?

One more question about "snap to" points in audio objects

sorry, one more question people.............. is there a way to set a "snap to" point in an audio region? Can I have logic set a point, or an "anchor" within an audio region that would coincide with the cursor. Once I get the cursor to a bar or a beat, is there a command that would allow a "snap to" point to be created in an audio object? That way I could clean up any "noise" or "chatter" at the beginning of an audio bounce or any audio object, and still have no problem pasting it all over my arrangement. I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but can't find it in the manual..
thanks again!!!

The anchor point in an audio region can be moved to wherever you want it to be. Let's say you recorded a loud piano bass note and afterwards you trimmed the file so that the attack of this sound happens right at the beginning of the audio region. Your anchor point will now coincide with the begnning of that region. This means that you can place that audio at, say, bar 37 and it's guaranteed that the attack of that sound will play exactly at bar 37. In this case anchor point = position of audio region in the Arrange Window.
Even though you haven't played a MIDI note into the song in order to place this audio region, an "event" is generated for this sound which can be viewed in a special version of the Event Editor which shows the position of all audio regions in the arrangement. Access this by simply clicking on a blank area of the Arrange window and then opening the Event Editor.
So let's say this sound is positioned at bar 37. Open the Event Editor (as described above) and you'll see an event at 37 1 1 1 and the name of that audio region to its right. In this case, the event's position = the start of the sound file = the position of the anchor within that sound file. If you changed the position of that event to 38, or 109, or 3, that audio region will be "triggered" at any of those positions. That sound will always "attack" on a downbeat.
Now let's say you reversed that pinao note in order to create a dramatic swell into a section of your song. (Open the sample editor and use the Reverse function). At this point, the anchor point is still positioned at the beginning of the file! Play back the sequence (from our bar 37) and the audio will play back from bar 37, only backwards this time; the peak of that piano note will be at some point later than 37.
So let's say you wanted to position this sound so that it hits exactly on the downbeat of bar 37. How do you do it? Well, you could always slide the audio file in the Arrange Window and try to line up the attack of the audio waveform with the downbeat of bar 37, but there's an easier way...
Open the sample editor and move the anchor point to the end of the file, coinciding with the peak of the waveform (the piano's attack is now at the end because we reversed the audio). Next, close the sample editor window, click on a blank area in the Arrange Window and open the Event Editor. You'll see that this audio region is still positioned at bar 37, but the actual beginning of the sound file now starts before bar 37. Now when you play back, Logic will start playing that sound file before bar 37, but the audio's peak will be lined up at bar 37.

One Last thing about Hard reset..!!!

Hi Guys,
Read few post about Hard reset on N95. Still need to clarify one last thing. If I do a hard rest, does it clear all the unwanted small small files in the phone memory? In addition, if I install a trial version, will it allow me to use even if the software is expired before the hard reset?
Message Edited by wumesh on 06-Jan-2008 03:16 PM

Thanks again for your prompt response.
45. My device "died" during an update. What should I do?
Yes, try hard rest, if it doesn’t work take to the Care Point
I agree with you, no one has mentioned whether it is healthy to do the hard reset. Even for soft reset I don’t think so but I assume it doesn’t have much of an impact to the device.
My main requirement for hard resetting is that I have tried many third-party applications with my N95 and I know that even I have removed them all, there are some files are in my phone memory. When I search for clear the unwanted, I didn’t find any better way than hard resting.

Two questions about apple mail

hey everyone. i'm getting to learn a little more about apple mail these days; smoothing out Gmail IMAP synching and whatnaught. i've stumbled into the mail directory on my macbook and had some questions.
1. the "mail downloads" folder (home/library/mail downloads). what is the significance of this folder? in the preferences, i have my default downloads saved to the main "downloads" folder. yet there is a random number of files in there; i don't think they constiute the totality of every message i've received that has a file to download, so what is the logic of those files? if i delete them will the downloads not be available from individual mail messages any longer?
2. i see some older IMAP mailboxes for two accounts that i don't even have access to any more. they don't, however, show up on the mail app itself. is there some way to reintegrate these mailboxes (just for archival purposes, and the ability to see their messages) into the mail program?
thanks so much!
quin

Aaron,
The Mail Downloads folder contents are redundant to what is kept with the messages. The most typical ways that content results in that folder are:
1) quickly clicking the Save button on a message, rather than using a click-hold to then have the option to choose a target location of the Save;
2) you open an attachment with another application. There Mail Downloads is only meant to be a temporary storage location. Attachments are kept as originally received with the message itself. Also, in the more recent version of Mail, it is redundantly kept in a folder within the INBOX.mbox folder named Attachments -- this is a behind the scenes behavior. It first appeared only for IMAP mailboxes, but more recently in Mail 4.x is also the case with a POP account. If unedited, then depending how you have your preference set up, attachments may be removed when Mail is quit, etc.;
3) Mail in 10.5.x and 10.6.x seems to require the Mail Downloads folder to be created, rather than use the Downloads folder. The latter is mostly used as the location of items you click to load from a remote server, whether in a Browser or in Mail.
With respect to your old IMAP account folders or mailboxes, where have you found them? I would assume any old IMAP accounts have been deactivated in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced if in the Mail folder, but not showing in the Sidebar to Mail? It would problematic to activate an IMAP account if it can no longer contact the IMAP server. Any xxxx.imapmbox folder can be dragged from the Mail folder (after quitting Mail) to say the Desktop, renamed as xxxx.mbox folder, and then back in Mail imported to be an On My Mac mailbox for archival.
More info, please.

One last question - default...

Okay, now that i've got my new AEBS on the net and printing wirelessly, one last thing is bugging me. Whenever i put my iBook to sleep, upon wake up, it always selects my neighbor's wireless network, and not my new AEBS. The neighbors (our friends) haven't secured their network, so my mac can join without a problem. But it will select it even though the new AEBS's signal is much stronger! Is there a way that i can ensure it selects our base station first over any other networks?
Cheers,

Z77a-GD65 - Thanks for the help before _ one last question

-
you guys were very helpful re - Pcie lanes , and we are probably going to move in future to one of the suggested boards:
my problem is i have 4 cards in the GD65 all in 1X slots _ the encryption software runs them at a full type pace.
1X is fine as I'm not gaming , just solving "xxxCoin" blocks .
at the start everything ran for about 24 hours, but now within 8 hours i will notice that the Blue LED light system is full lit up and everything is frozen - i have been working on the program dialing down the intensity slowly to find the problem, but any suggestions?
I have to power off manually if this happens , but all the fans on the cards stay at the same RPM (i.e as high) but the blue LED is full lit and everything is frozen.
as opposed to now there are 2 leds lit in normal operation.
any pointers?

OK guys sorry about that.
I should know better sorry i was rushing , OK i believe have figured out the general problem.
the Blue Led represent HD activity normally when they get stuck solid the OS had frozen , I have narrowed that down to bad power..
oh sorry I'll add MAX REVO 1500W PSU to my signature -
I have a meter on the point, at full blast the 4 cards and the mobo etc are pulling around 1150 to 1200w oh the 1500w Max REVO.
We have notoriously bad quality power where i live , (the whole suburb) (they have and actual sign up in the main street announcing they are working on it )
SO here is my Question:
Does the the Z77A-GD65 have what might be called "Watch dog" where the Bios polls the OS for a response and if it does not get one then restarts the system, my Brother is a Sys engineer he said a lot of Servers have it ?
this would be very beneficial to me as its always when i go out that of course the power screws up and i come back to find a frozen or switched off computer , but if i had this feature i could just run a . BAT at the start-up and be back online working again after reboot.
thank you for any help !

Newbie question about entity and view objects

Hi everyone,
My first ADF application in JDeveloper is off to a difficult start. Having come from a forms background, I know that it is necessary avoid using post-query type lookups in order to have full filtering using F11/Ctrl+F11. This means creating an CRUDable view and getting as much of the lookup data as possible into the view without losing the ability to modify the data. In JDeveloper, I do not know how to build my data model to support that. My thought was to start with a robust updateable view as my main CRUD EO and then create a VO on top of that with additional EOs or VOs. But, I have found that I cannot add VOs to another VO. However, if I link the VOs then I have a master-detail which will not work for me.
For example, I have two joins to CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V shown in the queries below and need to have that show in the table displaying the CRUD VO’s data. It seemed that the best way to do this is to create a CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V entity object and view object. The view object would have two parameters, P_INSTANCE_ID and P_ATTRIBUTE name. Both the building and the unit are needed on the same record, and this is not a master-detail even though it might look that way. (A master-detail data control will not work for me because I need all this data to appear on the same line in the table.) So, I need help figuring out the best way to link these to the main (CRUD) view; I want as much of this data as possible to be filterable.
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'BUILDING NAME'
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'UNIT NAME'
Ultimately, I need to display a ton of data in each record displayed in the UI table, so a ton of joins will be needed. And, I need to be able to add records using the UI table also.
James

Hi Alejandro,
Sorry if I caused confusion with my first post. What I had in mind assumed that I could have a single CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V EO with a BuildingVO and UnitVO on top of it. So, I wrote the queries individually to show how I would invoke each view. When I realized that confused the issue, I rewrote the query to explain things better.
Now having seen your 2 queries. You need to create 2 EO. One for each table. Then create an association between the 2 aeO (this will be the join you are talking about). Then, you need to create a VO based on one of the EO and after you can modify and add the second EO (in here you select the join type).
After your done with this, youll have 1 VO that supports CRUD in both tables.
There were three tables in the query: CIEAV_BUILDING, CIEAV_UNIT, and T -- the main CRUD table. When you say that I should create two EOs, do you mean that they are to be for CIEAV_BUILDING and CIEAV_UNIT? Or, CIEAV and T? Assuming CIEAV and T, that sounds like it would allow me to show my building or unit on the record but not both.
By the way, everything is a reference except for the main CRUD table.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help (and patience).
