Podcast conversion painfully slow; can't add chapters while recording?

I'm finding GB3's conversion to m4a very, very slow.
For the last six months, I was using GB2 to mix my audio, iTunes to convert to m4a, and PodcastAV to add chapters and pictures. The mixdown process takes the same amount of time (10 minutes for an hour long podcast), but GB3 takes over half an hour to convert the audio to 64 kbps audio! In comparison, the equivalent iTunes takes three or four minutes to do the same. Is GarageBand not using the Velocity Engine?
Additionally, if I make any changes to the chapter info in GB3, I have to go through this painful 40+ minute process once again. Tools like PodcastAV and ChapterToolMe can take existing m4a files and simply pass it through unchanged, only modifying the chapter info. Is there a way around this?
Also, is there a way to add podcast chapters while recording? When recording, I can't select the podcast track to the "add chapter" button...
Gotta say I'm disappointed so far.
17" powerbook (1.67) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

OK, i have played a bit more with Iphoto and GarageBand. It is really the size of the pictures. The original size of my pictures is 2048x1536px. If i make the pictures much smaller, i can add them from the mediabrowser into the podcast.
What i now don't understand, why does it work if i drag them from the finder into garageband without editing the size? And what dimenson should the fotos have for optimal performance in the cast?

Well,
I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

How can I add a new record in an Access table.

How can I add a new record in access with LabView, using activex, without using the database connectivity tools.

Much easier with a toolkit but you could use ADO objects,
get connection, make a SQL object "INSERT record INTO table where ...."
Execute the parameterized query
Free up record sets data
close connection when done.
This is a very simplified version

You can't change the zoom while recording.

PAINFULLY slow- can take 4 min to infinity to change tabs!

I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro (original unibody MBP) that's running PAINFULLY slow! I used to be able to run 2 browsers with 15 tabs each, Photoshop, and word all at once. Over the last couple months, I can have as little as a browser with a few tabs and it grinds to a halt. I can simply click on a tab, or on a drop down menu, and I'll get the spinning beach ball for 4 or 5 minutes. Even cmd-opt-esc is unresponsive. Then, minutes later, it'll instantly execute anything I commanded over the last several minutes. Firefox seems to be the worst offender, but it can happen no matter what's running. It can happen immediately after rebooting, too (I used to only have to reboot every few weeks, now it's several times per day)
CPU load is 98% idle after it catches up, but once it catches up and the graph refreshes and I can see it was about 60% user load and 15% system while it was choking on the monumental task of opening the "File" drop-down menu
There are 482 threads and 129 processes.
This is the original unibody Mac with 2.4 ghz core 2 duo. It's been upgraded with 4GB of ram (2.7 used) and a 1TB hard drive. I did those upgrades 2 years ago and they've worked fine until recently. Clicking "get info" on the HD says 333 GB are free, but under "about this mac" it says 121 GB are free and 211 are used for "backup". I'm running OS-X 10.9.2 and it says there are no updates to install.
I've reset system manager
I've reset PRAM
I've fixed disk permissions.
No effect
I know I don't have the speediest machine, but even a mid-80's mac could smoothly handle a drop-down menu, and this is a recent problem. I'm at a loss here, guys. Any idea? My computer is quickly becoming unusable!

Can I add chapters in my movie

Is it possible to add chapters with the new iMovie?

Of course Chapter tracks are useful for more things than just iDVD. It makes no sense to remove that capability.
I have had some success using Subler, https://code.google.com/p/subler, to add Chapters to the exported movie from iMovie 10. Subler is free and quick, but certainly not as easy to use as the old Chapter markers in previous iMovie versions.
Subler needs a time to associate with each Chapter, and that can be difficult to extract form iMovie 10. The Wrapped Timeline doesn’t show times. In the default timeline, I cannot find a way to get the time associated with the playhead or the skimmer. So far, I get the time for the where I want a Chapter, by splitting the clip at that point; then the elapsed time in the movie shows in the upper edge of the timeline. I put a list of Chapter times in a Text Edit file to reference for when I open the movie in Subler. The Chapters created by Subler are recognized by iDVD.
I have considered buying mChapters ($4.99) from the App Store which looks like it might be easier to use than Subler, but I don't know if the Chapters it generates are compatable with iDVD and the like. It appears they should be compatible.
iMovie 10 is much faster importing and exporting so I suppose that makes up for the extra effort and time consumed in inserting Chapters.

Writing to Oracle is painfully slow, can i speed it up?

I am testing the Collections.sort() method on java.util. I have a table with 100,000 numbers. From an external program, I connect, build an ArrayList filling it with a looped read, sort the items and write the sorted list back with:
for (Iterator i = list.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
pstmt.setString(1,(i.next().toString()));
pstmt.executeUpdate();
Here are the results of each operations:
OP:Connecting...
----The operation took 2.094 seconds
OP:Building List...
----The operation took 6.562 seconds
OP: Sorting 100000 items...
----The operation took 0.547 seconds
OP: Writing Sorted List...
----The operation took 740.698 seconds
740!!! Argh
How can I do this faster?

You might want to batch your statements so you aren't making 100,000 trips to the database.

Can Microsoft add a screen recording software in the next update

Apple has screen recording software on it when you get it. Can Microsoft do this to? It will promote more gamers to use it and more people who use Youtube to post videos.

Apple has a great screen capture software downloaded on the computer for you, completely free! To by that same screen capture software for
Windows is about thirty dollars. Microsoft add a free screen recorder in the next update. This will put
Microsoft up above Apple. Think about it. More gaming is done on Microsoft computers than on
Apples. This will promote even more people to use Microsoft
and will allow more gamers and people who have Youtube channels to use Microsoft computers. I want a safe screen capture software that is easy-to-use and reliable.

Can't add printers while in WiFi/Airport

I can no longer add printers in Printer Setup Utility while using my WiFi network (AEBS). The <ADD> Button is GRAYED OUT.
Everything is OK when my printer is connected via USB, but in Airport nothing.
When I get the ADD page it shows the correct name of the printer and the correct Location (AEBS) Name. But, the <ADD> Button is GRAYED OUT.
The printer's connection is Bonjour.
I'm not sure whether this started after the AirPort Firmware update 5.6 or the SecUpd2005-007 and SecUpd2005-007Ti.
But AirPort printing did start getting sporadic after SecUpd2005-007 and SecUpd200.5-007Ti.
I did a Reset Printing System when the printer would only print when it felt like it. Still everything was fine until 08-15-05.
I installed the AirPort Firmware update 5.6, the SecUpd2005-007 and the SecUpd200.5-007Ti the same day they appeared.

It's been an ongoing policy that old posts are archived off the system, not least because the likelihood of the post being found and responded to decreases over time.
There is nothing to prevent any poster, including the person who originated the thread, from adding to it to bump it back to the top if it requires further attention, or to post again of course.

Can you add appliedCharStyle while creating hyperlink

I noticed that the menu to create a hyperlink manually now has an option to apply a character style to the text source. Is it possible to apply a character style while adding a hyperlink in JavaScript? I am using findGrep() to iterate through a large document adding hyperlinks to found text. I currently use changeGrepPreferences (see bottom of script below). But I thought it might be faster to use the new feature.
If it is possible to do apply the character style in while adding the hyperlink, how would I do it? My attempt below does not work.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var charastyles = myDoc.characterStyles.everyItem().name;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '[MAP][ELO][PR]S:';
var foundCodes = myDoc.findGrep()
for (var i = foundCodes.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
switch (foundCodes[i].contents)
    case "MEPS:":
var _charStyle = app.activeDocument.appliedCharacterStyle = "Hyperlink"; //
var _hlinkSource = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.add(foundCodes[i]);
    var _destination = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add("http://www.meps.com");
    app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(_hlinkSource, _destination, _charStyle) // <----this works without the _charStyle
break;
//three more cases go here
alert ("Not a good selection."); exit ()
//app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Hyperlink'; <--- I have been using these lines to change the character style
//myDoc.changeGrep();
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
alert ("Done")

If you know basic HTML you can add whatever you want after you export from Aperture, but I don't know of a way to add arbitrary hyperlinks within Aperture. Adding minor changes to the basic HTML Aperture produces is easy, but if you have a lot of extra changes, you might want to use another tool designed for more customized web pages.

Can't add new detail record in Master Detail form

Hi ,
I've created a simple database application from scratch by initially selecting a Master Detail page. This generated a report page (for the parent ) and a form page (for the child ). On using the form to add a new child record the following error was generated:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("STUDENT1"."DELEGATE"."DELEGATE_ID"), insert into "STUDENT1"."DELEGATE" ( "DELEGATE_ID", "CLIENT_ID", "SURNAME", "INITIALS", "SEX", "SPECIAL_NEEDS") values ( :b1, :b2, :b3, :b4, :b5, :b6)
Error Unable to process update.
The 'child' field listed in the error message is automatically hidden on the form and I had presumed that on generating this form using the wizard that I would have had an opportunity to link the delegate_id field to a trigger or a sequence as seems to happen when creating a database application scratch using other page types. I'm new to Apex so I'd be grateful if anyone could let me know as to why this default behaviour occurs,
regards,
Kevin.

I tried it for Apex 4.0.2 (my version) and 4.1 (on apex.oracle.com) and I am asked for master and detail PK generation in both versions.
What are your steps exactly in the wizard? Like this?
Create page -> Form -> Master Detail Form
Now you see a whole list of sub steps including "Primary Key Source".
Oh I see "Create Application wizard." in your post. Start with an empty application (blank page) and use the Create Page wizard instead. Maybe that's the difference.

Can I add an audio record button to my document?

I would like the reader of my PDF file to electronically sign the document by saying the word "YES" or "NO" depending upon their inclination.
So, how do I embed a control that permits for the capture of audio in a PDF?
Thanks in advance for any information you can share.
Greg Park

I knew about the comment possibility, but as you have said...users would need instruction. This is intended for a controlled environment where I know that everyone will have a device with a microphone. However, the users of the form would have very little experience as this is meant for patients.

Add chapters to dvd

I have a dvd of a complete concert and I need to break it up into chapters so that they can select particular songs they want to upload on youtube. Anyone know how I can do this? Am I in the wrong discussion board? Thanks!

You can't add chapters to an existing DVD. Even if you had chapters it will not split the individual songs into files that can be uploaded separately to You Tube.
Read my MPEG Streamclip tutorial: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739 it shows you how to get the DVD content into an editable format.
