Opaque Types - Cross platform TTS

When doing cross platform transportable tablespaces, there's a know limitation with "Opaque Types" which read:
Opaque Types Types(such as RAW, BFILE, and the AnyTypes) can be transported, but they are not converted as part of the cross-platform transport operation.
Their actual structure is known only to the application, so the application must address any endianness issues after these types are moved to the new platform.
Question is:
Does this also applies to standard expdp/impdp or is "Opaque Types" endiannes correctly converted when using normal expdp/impdp instead of TTS?
thanks

Hi Sulimo,
Got a link ..

With expdp/impdp it should be possible but with few constrains .. please refer below

Installing the cross-platform version of jmf

I downloaded and exploded the cross-platform version of jmf on a windows nt box. I set my classpath to point to jmf.jar(per the setup instructions). I have a simple application that basically launches the movie viewer, but using this version of jmf doesn't allow me to view mpg's or avi's (these are the only file types I've tried). Installing the Windows version of jmf works fine, but am interested in getting the cross-platform to work the same way. Is this possible? Thanks,

Old Macromedia - Adobe cross platform font issues

This message is more directed to Adobe.
I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype, postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC - many of the styles are not available.
In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC - our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient.
When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?

"I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform
compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign."
No, they are fully cross-platform compatible. The Adobe products you
mention, along with a very few others, are the only applications
capable of taking full advantage of the advanced features available in
some opentype fonts. And even the three products you mention don't all
necessarily support open-type in the same way.
"However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious
cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype,
postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC -
many of the styles are not available."
If you are using the same application version on both platforms, you
should have identical functionality. If you're using an older version
of Fireworks.
The only cross-platform style issue with TT or T1 fonts is that
Windows doesn't recognize any styles other than Regular, Bold, Italic,
and Bold Italic. Also, there's a font menu difference between MacOS
and Windows. Mac display all available styles, whereas Windows only
displays the family name, and you have to select the variants from
somewhere else (typically "B" "I" "U" buttons). SOME font families
from some vendors use the style function to define such variants as
Small Caps, Light, etc. MS products get ... confused.
"In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC -
our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a
result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient."
If you're using different applications for design and rendering, and
their functionality is different, then you have a cross-application
compatibility issue. You didn't mention what applications or versions
are involved.
"When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?"
It may be more a Microsoft issue than an Adobe issue. In addition to
the style limitations, There are no MS products that yet support
open-type features.
Although Adobe personnel do sometimes visit here, this is not a
"talk-to-Adobe' forum. Since your problem is application related, I'd
suggest taking it to the appropriate application forumsFireworks
General Discussion looks right.
And, as Bob said, you might also contact Adobe support directly with
your concerns.

Cross platform issues with InDesign CS5 or earlier

Potential client would like me (designer on a Mac) to design print docs which they can then edit on their PCs. Would love to hear feedback from others about any cross-platform issues/best practices suggestions. Thanks!

No problem at all, the only thing you have to do is make sure you both have the same fonts in a flavour (Opentype) that you can both read. So when you send them a Indesign document using these fonts they should be able to open it up on a PC without getting a "missing fonts" warning. Once you've got that sorted you're away, I do exactly this all the time.
Oh and of course you must have the same version of Indesign! You can save back one version (or from CS5.5 to CS4) but it's not recommended for this type of workflow.

Cross platform upgrade question between Photoshop CS5/CS6 and multiple Windows/Mac computers

Hello,
I'm currently using a Windows laptop and PC running Photoshop CS5 from a Student license I got in college. I am considering moving to an Apple laptop so I was looking at the cross platform update question on the forum that led me here: Order product | Platform, language swap
It's not really clear if I will be eligible for the upgrade, and Adobe support chat sent me to the forum, and that page sends me back to where I started to see if I am eligible. I would prefer to purchase the upgrade outright, rather than pay for the new monthly subscription model.
If I am eligible for a swap/upgrade to Apple CS6, will I still be able to use CS5 on my Windows PC?
Thanks.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I have a feeling that a student teacher version is not eligible for an upgrade discount. You own the CS5 perpetual license, and can install it on two computers at the same time as CS6, CC etc. That will be the case in perpetuity. (not sure why I didn't just type 'forever' back there, or alert the cliche police 'Going forward')
Photoshop CS6 Extended will cost you just shy of US$1600 according to this Amazon page The non extended version does not give you the 3D tools, and Photoshop CC comes as the full extended version as standard. If you got the Photoshop / Lightroom Photography plan at a mere $10 a month, the price of CS6 would keep you subscribed for > three years. Photoshop CC has a lot of wonderful features CS6 does not have, and will never have, and CC will be be constantly updated 'in perpetuity'. ;-) $10 a month! Heck, what's not to like about that?!!!

Cross platform, multiple versions, multiple architectures.

I am fairly new to Illustrator plugin development. I played around with the ADM on the Windows side and got that working. Then realized we needed to build a plugin to run on Mac. And although the SDK says you can target multiple platforms in the PiPL, it never really worked right.
Now I'm working on Mac with Xcode. I'm running CS5. Some of the machines I'm developing for are running CS4. I've tried building the samples from the CS5 SDK and they work on my machine great. When I build the CS4 SDK samples the tester can't load the plugin. (LiveDropShadow). Do you think it is the version of Xcode? I targeted the right OS version... made sure of that.
So next question.. can I build/deploy the same Flex UI in CS4 and CS5? Any tips/suggestions?
thanks,
Will

You can absoultely hit both CS4 & CS5, Mac & PC -- we do! Hell, we used to hit CS3, CS4 and CS5
Your problem with CS5 & CS4 is probably that you're using a suite version that is only available in CS5. When Adobe updates a suite, they still make the old version available, but the headers will always use the version that shipped with their Illustrator by default (makes sense). So, for example, the Art Suite might be version 14 in CS4 and 15 in CS5. If you use the CS5 headers, kArtSuiteVersion is 15, but 15 doesn't exist in CS4.
Its easy to see if that's the problem -- add a message if AcquireSuite fails and have it print out the suite & version that failed. If that's the case, you'll just need to look at the CS4 SDK and figure out what version it shipped with (likely one less than you requested!). If you're not using anything added in the CS5 version, just switch the types & version requested to the CS4 one and after a recompile, you should be fine. Of course, this may repeat for several suites It might be faster to look at what suites you're requesting and then just check each one. A fast way is to look in the legacy folder -- if theres an AI140*.h version of your suite, that means it was updated in CS5, and you'll run into this problem.
As for the ADM, well, we had the same experience. That's why we switched to Qt. There are undoubtedly other cross-platform toolkits you could use, but that one will work (albeit with some work). The next version of Illustrator won't even have the ADM in it, so its definitely wise to avoid the ADM at this point.
I'm not too familliar with Flex, but I believe you can hit CS4 & CS5 with the same UI. I'm not the one to answer that unfortunately, as we don't use Flex. There's another thread from the last week that discussed the finer points of 3rd party vs Flash UI that you might find useful. It should be one or two down from this one in the thread list.
Good luck!

Adobe software and suites with cross platform licenses

Hello,
I am aware that Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements, and Lightroom come with cross-platform licenses (so I can install one copy on my PC and one copy on my Mac using the same serial number).
Because I own a Mac and a PC, this type of license is very useful for me.
Could you please provide a full list of Adobe software and software suites which carry this type of license?
Thanks

Your list is complete. As far as Creative Suites are concerned, only Creative Cloud or Volume Licenses allow cross-platform use and activation. All otehr normal retail bundles are platform specific.

Does JMF2.1.1 cross platform version support dvi/rtp

hi!!!
does JMF2.1.1 cross platform version support dvi/rtp ,8000.0 Hz,4-bit format???
when i type java AVTransmit2 javasound:/0 224.0.0.1 22222 at the konsole in linux i am getting the following error:
Audio not supported: interface TargetDataLine supporting format PCM_SIGNED, 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, little-endian, audio data, and buffers of 22050 to 22050 bytes
Audio not supported: interface TargetDataLine supporting format PCM_SIGNED, 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, little-endian, audio data, and buffers of 22050 to 22050 bytes

hi,
I still dont understand well the jmf either, but i can confirm that i am able to capture audio (using javasound://8000) to capture at 8Khz, setting a processor model with this source, AudioFormat.DVI_RTP and ContentDescriptor.RAW_RTP
and my transmition happens well:
dvi/rtp, 8000.0 Hz, 4-bit, Mono
I JUST CAN CONFIRM THAT JMF 2.1.1 DO SUPPORT DVI/RTP 8000.0 4BIT
as per the documentation, a processor model requires:
1. a datasource
2. an imput audio format
3. the output content description
one will think then that the audio imput should be linear and the output should be div/rtp, but it seems it doesnt work like that, im digging on the docs with no success till now, so by experiments i can say that somehow the imput audio format, already tells the kind of coder one will use, that case, DVI/RTP. This means, the data is encoded to a special DVI format who prepare the packets to be Transmitted, and then on the output content one says, is data ready to be transmitted, since is already packetize you say just content is raw or raw_rtp.
you can not for example say, then ok, convert my imput to a DVI and then packetize it to a (DVI)/RTP, because in this case you will have, starting from the capture device:
LINEAR convert to DVI> DVI packetize> DVI_RTP -----> Tx
why not? because there is no codec that receives DVI and convert it to DVI_RTP,
the only one we got is com.ibm.media.codec.audio.dvi.JavaEncoder
this one is only able to take linear and convert it to DVI/RTP
so you have to use the model
LINEAR ----> DVI/RTP -----> CONTENT = RAW ----> tx it, sink it, but not write...
to write there are more problems, but that was not the question, just tx
if someone can explain this better or point to a docs were it is explain it, ill appreciate,
regards,
jahm

Will �cross platform app� run on one platform?

Hi there,
please forgive my stupidity but if I have a J2ME app which contains one function calling functions from Blackberry library. Can this app be installed and run ok on non Blackberry phones, such as Nokia (suppose that Blackberry related code will not be called under this non-Blackberry phone), within Nokia emulator environment, or real Nokia phones?
It would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light here so that my time and effort to try it out could be saved.
Many thanks in advance,
qmei from London

Here, let me actually be helpfull...
It depends on the phone.
To be able to use the exact same app in multiple devices, when some are calling device specific code is possible, but it really does depend on a few factors...
1) You must not ever reference or instantiate any classes that import the device specific libraries. If any such classes are referenced directly in your application, the offending class will be loaded into memory, at which point the device's VM will notice that it's trying to reference a library that it doesn't recognize, and likely crash out.
2) You must only load such offending classes by name, and even then, there must only reference offending classes through an interface. So if you have a canvas class that imports nokia libraries, as well as other canvas classes that import other manufacturer libraries, you must make them all implement the same interface, and do something like this...
try{
Class cls = Class.forName("com.nokia.mid.ui.FullCanvas");
cls = Class.forName("NokiaGameScreen");
Object o = (cls.newInstance());
gameScreen = (GameScreen)o;
gameScreen.init(this);
}catch(Exception e){
//cant' use nokia!
//try another manufacturer...
}... so I'll explain in greater detail...
1) Class cls = Class.forName("com.nokia.mid.ui.FullCanvas");This line with throw an exception if no class matches the supplied argument. Generally you'd do something like this to check for the existance of one of the classes you intend to import. If this line does not throw an Exception, than instantiating the desired display should be fine. In this case, if we don't throws an Exception, we can be sure that we are running on a Nokia device.
2) cls = Class.forName("NokiaGameScreen");This line actually grabbs the class you intend to instantiate, which contains the offending import. Only when we reach this point does the VM load the class into memory, and validate it's imports. We have already determined that we are running on a Nokia device from the previous line.
3) Object o = (cls.newInstance()); Get an instance of the desired class.
4) gameScreen = (GameScreen)o;gameScreen is of the type 'GameScreen', which is an interface I defined and is implemented by all of my different manufacturer/device specific Canvas's.
5) gameScreen.init(this);I am simply calling the 'public void init(Midlet)' function I created that is exposed through my 'GameScreen' interface.
As you can see in the above example, I never directly reference the 'NokiaGameScreen' class, and instead indirectly reference it through an interface it's implementing called 'GameScreen'.
This type of 'cross platform' coding works well on many, but not all devices. It's a headache, but some devices go through the entire .jar file and validate each and every .class file during the installation process. These annoying phones will cancel the install if they find any imports that are not recognized. So even if the class is simply accidentally left in the .jar, with no possible way to ever load or instantiate it, the device may decide it won't let you run or install.
Because of the problem devices, I always create a separate build for each manufacturer, and exclude the other manufacturer's classes from the build entirely.

Cross platform DVD burning - Mac/PC/home DVD player

All right, Geniuses, re: cross platform DVD burning, I have read and read and spoken to many people. Out of 6 1/2 billion people, NOBODY can answer this question. Shane Ross probably can't answer it with a straight face.
How, where, why, when, what do I use to burn a DVD - who knows, maybe up to 90 minutes - so that I can play the same DVD on my Mac, your DVD home player, your boss's PC, whether it's Real Player, Windows Media Player, QT, mmrphmm-mmrphmm, or quakiifrafermessendt (w/chrome) format.
I am running Mac G5, dual proc. 2Gig, 3.5 G. RAM, OS 10.3.9, Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 which includes FCP, Compressor Live Type, DVD Studio Pro 3, Cinema Tools.
The editing part is a cinch. Even with my eyes open. I've used Mac since 1978 and shoot broadcast. Oddly, dropped frames, A/V synch, phase shifting, etc are no problems.
Also, I have about 300 shows that I did on VHS, 3/4", Betacam, and DV. I have an A to D converter that works great converting these tapes to digital which I store on my hard drive. What I need to do, let me back up... about a year ago I had to buy a PC because Mac doesn't support Solid Works 3D program. So, there, I said it, I own a PC. And that's why I have a problem. Or more accurately, a quandry. Rather than tie up my Mac, I might as well use the PC to record my videos to, then burn to DVD, then to edit them or run them through DVD Studio Pro on my Mac for authoring, then back to my first problem, How, where, why, when, what do I use to burn a DVD - who knows, maybe up 90 minutes - so that I can play the same DVD on my Mac, your DVD home player, your boss's PC, whether it's Real Player, Windows Media Player, QT, mmrphmm-mmrphmm, or quakiifrafermessendt (w/ultrascuzzyectoplacticdefoid) format.
Of course, I want highest quality. Absolutely, my finished DVDs have to play on PC, Mac and home DVD players. If you've gone this far, someday I might need to put some of this on the web. I like options. It might be delivered as a stream, or a download. Another compression question?
Simple, huh? Is there anything else you need to know? Should I fire up my old wire recorder, or are you going to suggest another 3rd party peripheral? Which would make me wonder, why hasn't Apple addressed this obvious disfunction.
BTW/ I have found Memorex DVDs work best on my system. Any comments?
Regards.

Welcome to the forum!
Time for a reality check: burned DVDs (and even stamped DVDs) are NOT 100% compatible with all DVD-Video reading devices. Period. It just the Nature of the technology and that fact that player and drive manufacturers rush products to market that are not fully in compliance with the DVD-Video standard.
That said, I've had only two individual playback compatibility complaints in the last 6 years with well over 2000 DVD-R discs authored in DVD-SP and burned from my Macs on an external Sony DVD burner. Those two complaints were rectified by burning a DVD+R disc for the clients.
Things I have learned:
· Windows Media Player doesn't play nice with DVD-Video. ULead and other DVD players for the Windows platform do work very well (I have to WinXP systems to test on). PC playback compatibility is dependent on many, many things; the user's video card, RAM, drive type (and condition), processor speed ... the list goes on and on. It's impossible to predict if ANY disc will work in any given PC.
· Memorex is at the very bottom of the list for quality media. Don't get me wrong; they do have a wonderful warranty. If you send back any discs they will replace them with equally poor quality media at no charge. Memorex is simply a marketer - there's no telling what brand or quality of media you're actually getting when you purchase their brand ... but you can be assured it will be cheap.
That said; I'll agree that your workflow seems a bit backward. Authoring to DVD and then editing? Makes no sense. You're losing quite a bit of quality in that process as well as adding unneeded steps. If you must capture the footage with a Windows system and it needs editing, capture then convert to a QT codec that matches your FCP Sequence settings so when you move the files to your Mac for editing, everything actually plays nice.
If your program doesn't need editing and you just want to transfer it to tape, I'd recommend using a stand-alone DVD recorder so you don't have to tie up either computer.

Cross platform CS on PC to CS3 on Mac does not work like video says

Your video on cross platform workflow states that you can import older Premier CS files on a PC into CS3 on a Mac. I tried this and get the message, "this project was saved in a aversion prior to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and cannot be opened on a Mac. Please refer to the User Guide for import options." I guess I have to assume then that the video, www.adobe.com/go/vid0236, is wrong about this? Can someone please explain how I can salvage the work I did 3 years ago on Premiere Pro 1 on a PC when I am now exclusively working on the Mac in CS3?
Thank you.

Ty,
This has come up a few times and the solution is to find a PC CS3 user, who will Open the Project and then Save it in CS3-CS4 for you. I does mean that you'll have to befriend a PC-person, but who knows, maybe you can reciprocate later on. In each previous instance, this workflow, PC to PC to Mac worked perfectly. Note: the same holds for Encore Projects, and there is some PC to PC incompatibilities between very early versions and later versions. I had to Open and Save an Enocre 1.0 Project in CS2, so a CS4 (only) user could then Open in CS4. This stuff happens, and the skip in Mac porting can play a role in it. If I had CS3 on my PC's, I'd do it for you, but CS2 will not hlep you.
I believe that P 6.5 was the last previous version ported for the Mac, until CS3.
Good luck,
Hunt

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)

I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
Paul

Hi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!
