Output Sequence to FLV

Hello,
I have a couple of questions. I have a timeline that's about and hour and 20 minutes long.
I was wondering if anyone could give me a suggestion for what would be a good output setting for a long timeline that would be a good compromise between quality and not too long of an encoding process?
My other question, does anyone have any good recommendations for a lower priced program that can convert Quicktimes or DV files to FLV format?
I've been looking at this: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20561/video2swf#descContainer_link
...but thought I'd see if anyone can recommend anything better before I purchase it.
Thanks,
Matthew

1. Not really. too many unknonw variables like content and your definitions of "too long" and "not much." Buy Jan Ozer's transcoding and encoding DVD.
2. You can export as H264. current Flash players recognize H.264 files but you can also just change the extension on the file to FLV.
We see this question about twice a week so you ca search the forum for two or three thousand different responses.

Convert the output sequence of complex FFT

I am using complex FFT to do IQ demodulation.
the input X of complex FFT is cos(x)+i*sin(x). abs(FFT(X)) is the frequency response of input X. I need to convert the output sequence the format
FROM: DC f....Nyquist Frequency...–f
TO: -Fre_nyquist ...DC... Fre_nyquist
Is there any function I can use to do this convertion? thanks

Just use "rotate array" from the array palette (LabVIEW 7.1 or lower) and rotate by n/2.
If you have LabVIEW 8.0, simply wire a TRUE to the "shift?" input for a DC centered spectrum.

Unexpected output sequence and NPE

Compile given code under Eclipse (tested on Eclipse 3.1.0, WebsphereStudio6) and then run on IBM JVM (tested on 1.4.1, 1.4.2)
Under WSAD6 after few seconds I got output sequence:
Leaving try1;0
In finally1;0
Leaving try1;0
In finally1;0
Leaving try1;0
In finally1;0
but it's imposiible if you look on the code... (or I'am ignorant in java)
If program is runned under Eclipse or standalone IBM JVM (only runned, compiled under Eclipse!!!), porogram throws NPE after few seconds and JVM is terminated.
Could anybody explain this ??
Is this bug??
For me, this is a problem, beacuse I'm working now under application, that is runnign on Websphere Application Server, and of course I'm using WSAD as IDE. And in this program I have found place, where my code hangs'up - it's going in infinite loop without any reason.

Digital Output Sequence (variable timing) NI 9472

Hi,
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for creating a VI to do the following:
I have 6 valves which I want to control with a NI 9472 module (8 digital outputs). The valves have a set sequence of 6 stages, each with different times (which I would like to be able to vary)
I have 3 of the above setup (ie 3 sets of 6 valves) that I would like to control in the same way but independent from each other.
I have attached a diagram of the valve setup and sequencing that i would like to achieve.
Thanks for your ideas.
Setup:
NI cDAQ-9174 Chassis
3 x NI 9472 24V sourcing module.
Solved!

OK here is a quick idea about my suggestion. Let me know what you think. For now you need to set up the array for the time and valves before you start the program.

Sequence external FLV's in a Slideshow

i'm producing an interactive presentation that is presented
as a slide show. 6 videos are paired with 6 images on 6 separate
frames of the slideshow. how do i get the current frame to move to
the next one when the movie is finished playing???

Actionscript...
Give the FLV component and instance name of vid and put this
code of the frame:
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
play(); // any action here, this is what happens when the
movie ends
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();

ABAP QUERY: Selection text name change : seq. of column sequence in output

hi friends,
1)I need to change the text of the selection field in ABAP QUERY REPORT
please help me. t code: SQ03 : User Group(zabc) and report name (zabc).
Environment -> infosets.
in the field group, double click field name to be changed. I tried to change it. The changed name is only reflecting in the list output, but not in the selection screen.
I want the text to be changed even in selection screen.
2)I want to change the position of the column ie end(last colum) to 8th column in the report output. Please help me.
Environment -> Queries -. I tried with 'Output sequence' and given no as '8'. But is not reflected and the column is still displayed at last column.
Please help me

Go to Query and go to selection field and change the selection text.
Hope this help.

How can I output successive sine wave sequences?

I'm using Labview 8.2.1 and I'd like to output sequences of sine voltage waves to a motor, each sequence being associated with n number of cycles at a given frequency and magnitude. For instance, three 0.5V sine cycles at 1Hz followed by three 0.2V sine cycles at 10Hz - no waiting time in-between and all data saved to a given folder. I've been using the 'Cont Gen Voltage Wfm-Ext Clk.vi' within the example library. I added to that a stacked structure thinking that I could copy-paste the first sine sequence to the next frame - changing only the frequency+magnitude values of the sine wave - but I couldn't get the second sequence to execute. I tried out other options with different timed structures but it was not successful either. My block diagram for now looks like this:
What fundamental steps/elements am I missing?
Thanks for your help,
Thibault.

Instead of using frames let’s try something a little bit simpler. First your generation is set to continuous so it will never go to the next frame until the first task is done.
You have two options to solve this problem:
1.       You build the waveform the way you want it, and then you start the generation with the whole waveform load into the card. Just need to make sure this will limit the size of your waveform to as much memory you have on your card. Advantage about this approach is there will not be time gaps between one signal and the other one
2.       The other option is to start the generation with one waveform stop it and start it over with different specification. Basically what this is what you are trying to do, but you need to change your generation to: “N samples”. One thing to consider about this approach is that your signal will have a gap every time your task is started and stopped.
Let me know if it helps
Two point to remember, this is a question that can be answer more correctly in DAQmx discussion forums not, labview and next time if you can reduce the picture width to less than 500 pixels.

Editing down an FLV?

I recorded a screencast with Acrobat Connect and wanted to do some simple edits with it in Premiere Pro. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get reasonable output size.
My original single clip is a 1920x1088 FLV, allegedly at 7.88fps. It is 17 megabytes.
I placed it into a 1440x1088 sequence (because I wanted to crop the right edge off).
I made a handful of cuts with the razor tool, deleted some sections, ripple deleted the empty space.
I also sped up one clip 143%.
(I experimented with trying to record a voiceover track, but Premiere crashed 2 or 3 times and I couldn't get the the "Enable Track for Recording" button in the Audio Mixer to work, so I gave up on that).
When I export my sequence to FLV, with On2 VP6 frame rate "same as source" bitrate VBR/One Pass/Low, I get a 59mb file.
But my original was 17mb.
What am I doing wrong?
Selecting 8fps pops up a red stopsign, "Adobe Media Encoder: Property Data Invalid!"
What am I doing wrong?
If i lock the output framerate to 8fps, I get a 44mb file.

Well of and by itself, video is NOT interactive. There is no way to make the video file be interactive. You can however embed cue point signals into the video and listen for those events (cue points) or just listen for when the video is complete.
But the fact that you listen and detect those events, still doesn't actually do anything, you still need some actionscript that says "when the event is detected, do this....".
So you'll need to do some editing of the .fla that includes the video player (which gets published as the .swf file).
If you don't have the .fla file, I don't see how you can make it work.
But since there are a lot of ways to create flv video players, why not just create a new .fla and then code in what you need?
Or perhaps try using a 3rd party video player that allows for cue points, can detect and act on the cues.
http://flowplayer.org/documentation/events/cuepoints.html
On the other hand, if you were using Flash NetStream method to play the video, it's simple to redirect at the end of the video... but you still need to edit the .fla file.
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
trace("Video complete")
ns.seek(60);
// ns.play();
ns.pause();
// gotoAndStop("end");
getURL("http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/video.html", "_blank");
Reading thru the code:
When player detects that the video has ended:
trace the message "Video complete"
then reset the playhead to 60 sec into video and (play or) pause the video.
could jump to (gotoAndStop at) another part of the main timeline (but that is commented out for now)... instead
getURL... go the the web page shown and open in a new window.
What you are asking will take a little actionscript is all, but you need the .fla.
Best wishes,

Editing FLV files - Split / Merge

Our studio is moving to a Flash video streaming solution from
a RealVideo streaming one. We stream multiple live streams daily
and archive our streams as well and there are times when we'd like
to edit the .flv video files to cut out a section or maybe merge
two flv files. For RealVideo files, this can be done using the Real
Media editor that is built into Real Producer. Is there any
solution to accomplish this with FLV files?
I've scoured google and I've found workarounds that involved
converting the .flv file into an avi or an mpeg, editing it and
then converting it back using multiple programs and plugins to
accomplish this, but that process is too complicated for most of
the end-users in our studio and converting the format over and over
obviously causes degradation in the quality of the video. Has Adobe
created a standalone tool to split/merge flv files? If anybody has
a solution please share. Thanks!

Hey Jason,
Your best bet is to do all the editing you need prior to
encoding. Forgive me if this is a little condescending, but for our
company, the encode to .flv format is the penultimate/final stage
of production.
I can't be sure, but I believe a program such as preniere or
after effects has good integration with Flash - you could output
directly to .flv
In terms of merging two .flvs, you're right - the options are
limited. You can either redo your edit (tricky for long sequences)
and re-encode, or alternatively code something to stick the two
flvs together...very heath robinson, i know!

Detect Note Changes in MIDI Sequencer

Hi all,
I’m trying to detect when the MIDI Sequencer changes notes using some kind of a listener to detect when the note changes occur. My example program is able to detect the end of the sequence and I’d like to be able to detect note changes and print a message in a similar way. Here is my example code.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.sound.midi.*;
public class SequencerTestApplet extends JApplet
    public void init()
        SequencerTest seqTest = new SequencerTest();
        seqTest.play();
        System.out.println("Print from init()");
class SequencerTest
    Sequencer sequencer=null;
    Sequence seq=null;
    Track track=null;
    public SequencerTest()
        try
        {   sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
            sequencer.open();
            // detect END OF SEQUENCE
            sequencer.addMetaEventListener(
                new MetaEventListener()
                {   public void meta(MetaMessage m)
                    { if (m.getType() == 47) System.out.println("SEQUENCE FINISHED");
            sequencer.setTempoInBPM(40);
            seq = new Sequence(Sequence.PPQ, 16);
            track = seq.createTrack();
        catch (Exception e) { }
    public void play()
        try
        {    // NOTE 1
            ShortMessage noteOnMsg = new ShortMessage();
            noteOnMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_ON, 0, 60, 93);
            track.add(new MidiEvent(noteOnMsg, 0));
            ShortMessage noteOffMsg = new ShortMessage();
            noteOffMsg.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_OFF, 0, 60, 93);
            track.add(new MidiEvent(noteOffMsg, 16));
            // NOTE 2
            ShortMessage noteOnMsg2 = new ShortMessage();
            noteOnMsg2.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_ON, 0, 68, 93);
            track.add(new MidiEvent(noteOnMsg2, 16));
            ShortMessage noteOffMsg2 = new ShortMessage();
            noteOffMsg2.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_OFF, 0, 68, 93);
            track.add(new MidiEvent(noteOffMsg2, 32));
            sequencer.setSequence(seq);
            sequencer.start();
        catch (Exception e) { }
}In this program the init() method starts the sequencer through the play() method and then continues on so that the “print from init()” statement is printed from the init() method while the sequencer is still playing. Then after the sequencer is finished, it uses the MetaEventListener to detect the end of the sequence and print the “sequence finished” message. I’d like to be able to make it also detect when the sequence changes notes in a similar way... Start the sequence and move on, but then be able to detect each time a note change occurs and print a message.
Since I am putting the notes at specific midi ticks (multiples of 16, or “quarter notes”) I could poll the Sequencer using getTickPosition() to see if the Sequencer’s tick position matches a particular multiple of 16. However, the problem with this is it would lock up the program since it would be constantly polling the sequencer and the program wouldn’t be able to do anything else while the Sequencer is playing (and I also have a loop option for the Sequencer so that would lock up the program indefinitely).
Here’s what I’ve found out and tried so far...
I read in this [this tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/sound/MIDI-seq-adv.html] on the java sun site (under “Specifying Special Event Listeners”) that The Java Sound API specifies listener interfaces for control change events (for pitch-bend wheel, data slider, etc.) and meta events (for tempo change commands, end-of-track, etc.) but it says nothing about detecting note changes (note on/off). Also in the [EventListener API|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/class-use/EventListener.html] (under javax.sound.midi) it only lists the ControllerEventListener and the MetaEvenListener.
I also read here that MIDI event listeners listen for the end of the MIDI stream, so again no info about detecting note changes.
It seems like the sequencer should have some way of sending out messages (in some fashion) when these note changes happen, but I’m not sure how or even if it actually does. I’ve looked and looked and everything seems to be coming back to just these two types of listeners for MIDI so maybe it doesn’t.
To be sure the MetaEventListener doesn’t detect note changes I changed the MetaMessage from:
public void meta(MetaMessage m)
{    if (m.getType() == 47) System.out.println("SEQUENCER FINISHED");
}to:
public void meta(MetaMessage m)
{    System.out.println("" + m.getType());
}so that it would print out all of the MetaMessages it receives. The only message that printed was “47” which indicates the end of the sequence. So the MetaEventListener doesn’t appear to do what I need it to do.
I realize this is a rather odd problem and probably not many people have had the need to do something like this, but it never hurts to ask. If anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-tkr

As another idea, since I can't do it with a listener like I originally wanted to, would adding a separate thread to poll the sequencer and send an interrupt when it matches a particular midi tick be a good route to try? My thinking is this essentially act kind of like a listener by running in the background and reporting back when it changes notes.Yep, that worked! :)

               ShortMessage noteOffMsg2 = new ShortMessage();
               noteOffMsg2.setMessage(ShortMessage.NOTE_OFF, 0, 68, 93);
               track.add(new MidiEvent(noteOffMsg2, 32));
               sequencer.setSequence(seq);
               sequencer.start();
          catch (Exception e) { }
import javax.sound.midi.*;
public class MIDIThread extends Thread
     Sequencer sequencer=null;
     long midiTick=0;
     long midi_progressionLastChord=32;
     boolean print = true;
     public MIDIThread(Sequencer sequencer)
          this.sequencer = sequencer;
     public void run()
          System.out.println("Thread Started");
          while (midiTick<midi_progressionLastChord)
          {     midiTick = sequencer.getTickPosition();
               if (midiTick == 0 || midiTick == 16)
               {     if (print)
                    {     System.out.println("NOTE CHANGE");
                         print = false;
               else
                    print = true;
}I put in several print statements (with pauses in the init method) and the init print statements continue to be printed while the sequencer is playing, so it's not locking up the system and the "note change" statements happen when the sequencer changes notes. So this part is working perfectly! :)
Here's what I got for my output:
Sequencer Started
Print from init() 1
Thread Started
NOTE CHANGE
Print from init() 2
NOTE CHANGE
Print from init() 3
SEQUENCER FINISHED
Print from init() 4
The only problem I'm having is how to "throw" this action back up to the main init method and have it do the print statement instead of the thread class. Throwing an interrupt apparently won't work as you have to poll it to see if it has been interrupted (so it'd be no different than just polling the sequencer to see if it equals the specific midi tick). Maybe throw an ActionEvent? But how to attach it to my applet? Would I need to create an instance of my applet and then pass that into the thread class so it can catch the ActionEvent? And if I do that will it stop the thread or will it keep the thread running so can detect the other notes?... Or is there a better/simpler way to do this?
Thanks again,

Grant sequence privilege issue

Hi,
OS is windows server 2008
Database oracle 11g r2
i have created a schema with name SME having DBA privilege from SME i have created another user SME_USER using the same tablespace of SME with limited privileges. The sequence was created in SME user. I am accessing the tables from SME schema. I have given insert privilege to one of the table in SME to SME_USER,but while insertiing we are using the sequnece with name IPSRNO from SME schema. Now when i tried to insert value inot the table from SME_USER its giving me the output "Sequence does not exist". I have given the grant select privilege for sequence IPSRNO.
Please guide me on this issue.
Regards,
Bobby

See Using Synonyms in DML Statements in the DBA guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/views003.htm
>
You can successfully use any private synonym contained in your schema or any public synonym, assuming that you have the necessary privileges to access the underlying object, either explicitly, from an enabled role, or from PUBLIC. You can also reference any private synonym contained in another schema if you have been granted the necessary object privileges for the underlying object.
You can reference another user's synonym using only the object privileges that you have been granted. For example, if you have only the SELECT privilege on the jward.emp table, and the synonym jward.employee is created for jward.emp, you can query the jward.employee synonym, but you cannot insert rows using the jward.employee synonym.
A synonym can be referenced in a DML statement the same way that the underlying object of the synonym can be referenced. For example, if a synonym named employee refers to a table or view, then the following statement is valid:
INSERT INTO employee (empno, ename, job)
VALUES (emp_sequence.NEXTVAL, 'SMITH', 'CLERK');
If the synonym named fire_emp refers to a standalone procedure or package procedure, then you could execute it with the command
EXECUTE Fire_emp(7344);

Questions about Adobe AIR and FLV license model

I'm currently looking for a game development framework which I can use for a fan-project in my spare time and also for commercial projects for the company I'm working for.
I think that the Citrus Engine which is open source and based on Apache Flex/Adobe AIR/Starling/Away3D/Box2d/Nate might be a good choice.
But I'm really confused about the license model of Adobe AIR and its runtime distribution.
Do I have to pay a license fee or royalties for my games (which include the AIR runtime in order to be stand-alone-apps) when I publish them?
If so, how much are these license fees/royalties?
Does this also concern free apps?
What is the name of the license which I would have to request from Adobe in order to publish my games?
Do I need several licenses when publishing an app on multiple AppStores (Apple/Google/Amzaon) or desktop distribution platforms (Steam/GOG)?
Are there further licensing obstacles which I have to keep in mind when using Flex/AIR for (commercial) game development?
By the way - the FAQ on the product page (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/faq.html) isn't really helping on this topic:
"How much does Adobe AIR cost?" -> "The Adobe AIR runtime and AIR SDK are free for most users."
This answer leaves me with the question: Am I belonging to the "most users" or not?
Therefore it isn't meaningful at all.
I'm also thinking about adding short video sequences as FLVs to the games.
If I understood correctly H.264 and MP3 are currently used as a standard for these video files but aren't free.
Is there a free alternative available for FLVs which can be used in combination with Adobe AIR?
Or did I get something wrong here and don't need to worry about getting sued when using these formats?
Thank you in advance for answering my numerous questions.

That's true.
I'm using a Dell Studio 1537 with 3GB of RAM and Intel Core 2 Duo and it's quick in Lr

Alpha Video... need to convert SWF to FLV

I am working on a video ad that includes video that was shot
using a green screen. The video has been masked and brought into
Flash 8, where background effects were added. Everything is working
perfectly with flash, but I need the final product as an FLV. I
cannot output a quicktime movie because quicktime only supports up
to flash player 5, and I need it output as flash player 8 to
support the alpha included on the video.
I attempted to import the SWF into Final cut pro HD 4.5 (then
output as an FLV), but I received a file error, guessing that it
may have an issue with Flash player 8 as well??
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a solution? any
help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brent

Thanks for the article.
I realized I had the embedded video placed in a movie clip
and had to convert those the graphic symbols.
That brings up another issue for me though. I need the masked
video to fade-in and fade-out at the end of each clip. The graphic
symbol is starting over at each keyframe, other than playing
through. Is there a trick to get this to work? Also, The sound is
embedded in the video, but it is not included exported movie
(quicktime movie exported with 44 kHz 16-bit stereo).
Thanks!
