POI: HSSFCellStyle odd results

Question

The function below works just fine
<p>
public short addColumnHeader( int rId, String name )
     {</p>
          HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow( rId );
HSSFCell firstCell = row.getCell((short)0);
HSSFCellStyle headerStyle = firstCell.getCellSt yle();
          short cId = (short)row.getPhysicalNumberOfCells();
          row.createCell( cId );
          HSSFCell newCell = row.getCell( cId );
          newCell.setCellStyle( headerStyle );
                    return cId;
     <p>}</p>
<p>
Created cell receives the background and formatting identical to the first cell in the row
</p>
<p>
I, also, have the function that returns HSSFCellStyle after extracting it from another cell.
</p>
<p>public HSSFCellStyle getCellStyle( int rowId )
     {</p>     
          HSSFRow row = ( HSSFRow )sheet.getRow( rowId );
          return row.getCell(( short )0).getCellStyle();
     <p>}</p>
when I use the returned result in setting the style, style is not set.
HSSFCell cell = someRow.createCell((short) x);
cell.setCellStyle( getCellStyle( rowId ));
If you have any idea on how to troubleshoot this or the reason behind, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I redid the experiment with the sound left at 32K and had the same results. Breaking up a file in MPEG Streamclip does not solve or even mitigate lack of audio synchronization noticeable at the end of two-hour clips when played in the event browser and in the project browser. This is particularly strange considering that if I trim that same footage in QuickTime and then import it into iMovie, the noticeable lack of synchronization goes away. Can anyone make sense of this?
So here is what I am left with as way of diminishing the synchronization problem that accompanies long DV files:
(1) Open the DV file in QuickTime 7.
(2) Select the section you want to work with, using the In and Out selection markers.
(3) From the Edit menu choose Copy
(4) From the File menu choose New Player
(5) From the Edit menu choose Paste
(6) From the File menu choose Save
Then import the saved file into iMovie.
Otherwise, the more complete solution is to switch to Final Cut Express. Or do earlier versions of iMovie not have this synchronization problem?
One small note: During my second experiment with MPEG Streamclip, while I was importing the results into iMovie there was a power failure caused by the blizzard we are having here in the Chicago area. It lasted a short time and things continued after it passed, but I had to force quit when the thumbnail generation was taking way too long. When I relaunched it looked like all the thumbnails were present and accounted for, so I am not redoing the experiment.
