Problem displaying HDV 1080i50

In the viewer I'm experiencing a strange problem - video at the start of clips looks terribly pixelated and blocky, and sometimes it appears that the first frame is not from that clip but from earlier on, until you play and then it corrects itself.
I've tried changing the playback video quality settings but the problem persists. When I render and export the footage there are no problems, it's only happening in the view for some reason.
Can anybody please help?

Anyone? This is driving me crazy. It seems to be getting worse. It will now only play one or two frame before freezing the image, and that is a mess of blocky pixels.

Displaying HDV 1080i50 .mov file in FCE captured with Final Cut Pro

Hi
I cannot display (in Final Cut Express) a clip in a .mov file that contains HDV 1080i50. The file was created on a different Mac computer running Final Cut Pro. The source was a Sony Z1 camera. No hardware card was used.
I get the error message in FCE - "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
Can Final Cut Express work with HDV 1080i50 created from FCP?

You didn't say what format the video was, but you can use MPEG Streamclip to convert that video to something that works in FCE.
The important thing is that you'll want to match the settings you convert this video to so that it matches your timeline settings. This will make everything much easier to work with and eliminates the need to constantly render the timeline.
Do you have other content you are going to be working with in addition to just this one clip? If it's just this one clip, you will probably want to use the "Easy Setup" settings of HD, AVCHD-Applie Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50. You'll want to use MPEG StreamClip to convert that video to matching settings -- specifically tell it to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). If you have other media/clips you're working with in addition to this one, you'll then need to decide what format you want to use for the timeline and Easy Setup. If you post those details, we can try to help out.

Capturing HDV 1080i50 with Sony HVR-Z1U

Long winded question... hope someone can offer some insight.
The answer to this may have been posted earlier, but sifting through the topics, I couldn't find any relating. If someone could be so kind to link me to any related topics, that would be helpful.
I'm editing a project in Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 that is a mix of HDV and DV, but will be finishing the final product in HDV. I've edited the original project in regular DV, but am batch capturing in the HDV footage according my XML.
But I can't seem to connect the camera.
Easy Setup: HDV - 1080i50 gives me an error "Unable to locate the following external devices: HDV (1440 x 1080) 2 fps)"
Going into Audio/Visual Settings and setting Capture settings to HDV and Device control preset to HDV Firewire gives me an error "Unable to initialize capture device and device control" (or for any device control preset with the HDV Capture setting for that matter)
Any device control preset with "HDV - Apple intermediate codec" will give me an error with "Unable to initialize HDV deck. Please make sure a deck is connected and try again".
Camera: In/Out VCR mode is set to Auto, i.Link Converter is set to "Off", A/V->DV Out is set to on.
Camera is on and plugged in. I've tried plugging the firewire into different ports and have also tried various firewire cables. Sometimes the device is controllable, but all it does is play the tape, never gets around to capturing anything.
.... sigh....
Thanks in advance,

AIC is not going to work for recapture, AIC doesn't use the original timecode off the master tape. Make sure you setup HDV 50i and before connecting the firewire cables go into the camera vtr mode then menu, then rec in out and set the ilink convert to off for HDV. the Camera will show HDV lights. Then connect to the computer and open log and capture.
Good Luck

Problem displaying CLOB in text file

Hello All,
I have a problem displaying the content from the database in notepad. When I click on a link on my jsf screen, I retrieve the data and display it in notepad.
I have my text content stored in the database with CLOB datatype. When I look in the database the data looks in the following format:
---------STARTS FROM NEXT LINE-------------
The firm, known for its keen oversight of products, has been the subject of complaints from firms who have had apps blocked from the store. Some developers have complained that the company's rules seem inconsistent.
Some have found apps blocked after seemingly minor updates, or for having content deemed inappropriate by them. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.
Sincerely,
ABC
----------ENDS IN THE PREVIOUS LINE------------
Now when I display this content onto the notepad, all the spaces and new line characters are lost, and the entire display looks awkward. This is how it looks:
The firm, known for its keen oversight of products, has been the subject of complaints from firms who have had apps blocked from the store. Some developers have complained that the company's rules seem inconsistent.[]Some have found apps blocked after seemingly minor updates, or for having content deemed inappropriate by them. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.[]Sincerely,[]ABC
All the new line characters are lost and it just puts some junk character in place of a new line.
When I copy the same text onto textpad, everything is alright and it displays exactly the way it is present in the database. I am also open to display the content in html, but in HTML it doesn't even display me the junk character in place of new line. It is just one single string without any line separators.
I am using the following code to put the content into the text.
public String writeMessage(){
   OutputStream outStream = null;
   HttpServletResponse response = getServletResponseFromFacesContext();
   Reader data = null;
   Writer writer = null;
   try{
      response.reset();
      response.setContentType("text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
      response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+id+"_Message.txt");
      outStream = response.getOutputStream();
      QueryRemote remote = serviceLocator.getQueriessEJB();
      data = remote.retrieveGovernorsVetoMessage(billId);
      writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter( outStream, "UTF-8" ) );
      int charsRead;
      char[] cbuf = new char[1024];
      while ((charsRead = data.read(cbuf)) != -1) {
         System.out.println(charsRead);
      writer.write(cbuf, 0, charsRead);
      writer.flush();
   }catch(Exception ex){
      ex.printStackTrace();
   }finally{
      //Close outStream, data, writer
      facesContext.responseComplete();
   return null;
}Any help or hints on resolving this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The data is imported from a third party application to my database. It doesn't display any newline characters when I view the data.
But when I do a regular expression search on text pad, I could see that my clob contains \n as the new line character. Is there a way to replace \n with \n\r while writing the data.
Thanks.

Problems displaying in IE

While I love iWeb's ease of use, it seems to have serious problems displaying on IE. There is really no point blaming IE, since it is the dominant browser and most people who will see our sites will use it. The point of iWeb should be to allow people to communicate broadly and effectively, not just to Mac & Safari users.
Lists do not work well. The indents do not display properly. Text in boxes shift alignment and location. Bullets show up with different sizes. I have had to hand indent and line space all the lists in the sites I make, which is a mess and not scaleable.
See fieldsforkidsmamk.org.
Are there any workarounds or fixes?
The other obvious issues with iWeb are worth noting:
* inconsistent display in browsers -- pages look different in Safari and Firefox, even on the Mac (let alone IE)
* difficulty adding html code
* page names must be identical to nav names, so pages with multiple words (Get Involved) display urls as /Get%20Involved (can't be corrected unless you have Get_Involved as a header.)
* need to publish whole site for any change
* need to publish all sites for each change to any site
* can't change color, display, location, function etc for Nav
I assume everyone is aware of these problems. The question is, what to do? Grin and bear it? Any help, tips or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

* page names must be identical to nav names, so pages
with multiple words (Get Involved) display urls as
/Get%20Involved (can't be corrected unless you have
Get_Involved as a header.)
You can fix this the same way you add html code, by post processing.
* need to publish all sites for each change to any
site
You can fix this by separating your sites into different Domain files so you only publish one at a time.
Contrary to the other response, "encoding" is not connected to the points you made. There is never any need to add a UTF-8 "tag" to an iWeb page. If you see question marks or Â's when your page is displayed on any browser, Mac or PC, then you may need to fix your ftp or server settings.

Problems displaying rtf memo fields

Post Author: Davidm
CA Forum: General
We use Crystal Reports X to run reports on an Access database with a significant number of rtf memo fields. We use Total Access Memo to allow extended use of rtf within Access as our users require the additional formatting capabilities that this offers.
However, there are considerable problems displaying items like bullet points, tables and hyperlinks in the Crystal Viewer with tables in particular coming out in a real mess with all entries in the table being displayed in a list with a small square marking each cell at the end of each line.
Curiously, if you preview the report in the full version of Crystal X, it appears a bit better with the hyperlinks still underlined (bullet points still vanish) and rows in rtf tables are at least presented as a row even if the columns are not ordered and mixed (with no bounding cells visible).
Firstly, is this disparity of end result between full Crystal X Print Preview and the Crystal X Viewer fixable?
Secondly, is the limited handling of rtf tags likely to be solved in the next release of Crystal?

Hi Mathias,
If I caught you correctly, you want to display data in Adobe forms in form of tabel, right?
So, follow the steps:
1. Insert one sub form on your adobe form.
2. Set its type as "flow content" in object->subform property.
3. Set flow direction as "Table".
4. Insert another subform inside this subform.
5. set its type as "flow content" and flow direction as "Table row".
6. Now, choose binding tab, and there check "repeat subform for each Data item check box" and specify min. count for your rows.
7. Now, insert your column fields inside this sub form once.
8. Format its look and feel as you want.
When you run this application, it will show you multiple data as table on Adobe form.
Regards,
Bhavik

HDV 1080i50 to SD MASTER Workflow

Hello all.
I am working now on a documentary, shot on Sony HDV 1080i50, 70 hours material, to be delivered in DIGIBETA PAL, and I am looking to the best approach to edit and finish it. Coming from the AVID World (yes, I confess...) and having worked not so much with FCP, I really need some help with this project. I will tell you what I do have in mind, and I kindly ask you to tell me if I am crazy or it makes some sense. I do have some specific questions as well. Thank you for your help. Here is my plan:
1 – CAPTURE.
70 hours captured in DV (already have!) in order to monitor easyly and work without long GOP.
2 – OFF LINE EDITING.
Normal documentary editing. I will zoom/resize the picture a lot. As I shoot in HDV and will deliver in SD PAL, I understand I have a big margin to zoom in an image without any quality loss when downsizing back to PAL. For instance, I only made one wide shot for the interviews. I will use this shot and then zoom the picture for a close up of the face... That is the main idea. How should I do these frame resizes, direct with FCP or should I use some special plug in?
3 – ONLINE.
Recapture all material in the Sequence in HD. Now I do not know if I should do it on HDV (remember: we are going back to SD for output) or should I use one of the PRORES 422 Apple codecs. What do you think? All the frame resizes and picture effects will be kept on the recapture, or?
4 – IMAGE FINISHING.
Do the colour correction and image finishing (with the HD material). Control and finish all the image movements, zooms and resizes. Apply effects, we do have to make some face blur and things like that. Should I do the colour correction on HD or should I make it once I have already downsized to SD, after step 5?
5 – RENDER TO SD FOR OUTPUT.
Here I do not know how to do it, but I want to convert my HD (HDV or PRORES 422) Sequence to an SD Uncompressed PAL 4:2:2 10bit Sequence. How do I do this? Here I do not have nay idea… Could you please help me? Will all the resizes and zoom be kept with the correct resolution when I downsize?
6 – AUDIO FINISHING.
Audio mixing and audio effects.
7 – OUTPUT IN SD
Export of a Quicktime SD Uncompressed PAL 4:2:2 with 10bit and print to tape.
Should I export direct from FCP or use Compressor or something?
That’s it!
Please, I would ask you to take some time an help me. If thewe is something that is not clear or you need more information, fell free to write me or post and I will answer as soon as I can. Thanks again.

Fantin,
Not the exact answer to your question but hopefully helpful.
My workflow with HDV is as follows:
-Capture as HDV (same data rate as DV so might as well)
-Do a basic picture edit, avoiding anything fancy (long render times with long GOP as you know)
-Use Media manager to up convert to DVCProHD
-Apply all my dissolves, effects etc.
-Do sound mix in FCP
-Use FCP and Color to grade
-Export to SD DVD using Compressor via FCP timeline.
or you could presumably
-Drop onto tape using a Kona or Blacmagic card
Don't think you'll get any better quality going 10 bit uncompressed if you're starting with HDV - might as well stick with DVCProHD.
In terms of zooming into HDV footage to achieve a good quality SD frame, Im not sure the method above would accommodate that. I've always done this in the past by dropping my HDV footage directly into an SD timeline and then zooming from there - this might mean of course that you'll need to export you're entire project as DV50 Anamorphic and then replace the zoomed in wide shots onto that.
I suspect if you just zoom into the HDV on a HDV or ProRes timeline this wouldn't translate well in SD.

HDV - 1080i50 equals size in Photoshop of DVCPRHD 1080p or HDTV 1080p ??

Hi, I'd like to create a graphic in Photoshop which matches the dimensions (width and length) of a HDV - 1080i50 sequence...which Photoshop default do I use? DVCPRHD 1080p or HDTV 1080p ??
What is the difference?
Thanks

HDTV 1080p.

PHP needs to be configured with a web server, such as Apache
or IIS.
ColdFusion is also a webserver, but as far as I know, it
cannot be
configured to serve PHP pages.

The only thing that would display is an error message. Hello

I've recently upgraded to FireFox 22. Originally, a legacy XBAP I use always opened correctly in FireFox and had no problems displaying or running. As of 22, it won't even attempt to download the application, let alone try and display it.
I have the windows Presentation Foundation 3.5.30729.1 installed, which is the same version I have been using in older versions.
Can anyone shed some light on any changes that would have effected this?

Hi, I have a similar problem. I did attempt the *.rdf fix on a test system, but it didn't work (em:maxVersion was already 22).
We got about inflow of phone calls from our clients experiencing the problem mentioned above from the 2nd of July onwards... and more are phoning in.
All the complaints come from clients (+- 10 so far and rising in number) using Firefox v22 (we have checked), and all of them have said that it was working previously.
We downgraded one of the clients to an older version of Firefox, and it worked again. So far we are telling our clients to downgrade until a fix comes out, or use Internet Explorer (*blush*)

Problems displaying itab with 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

Hi experts!
I have a problem displaying the internal table itab_test. Itab_uload is a TYPE TABLE of a complex and nested structure I defined in the DDIC. I am able to pass the entries, which are not conform with the specifications, to itab_test, but when I execute the program I get a short dump.
Error message is:" It was tried to pass the internal table IT_FIELDCAT to the formal parameter IT_FIELDCAT. In doing so, a ^type conflict occured between the formal and the actual parameter."
Can anybody please advise on the code-sample below. What did I wrong and what can I do to correct it?

Problem displaying Word 2002 RTF files in JEditorPane

Hi all,
I am having a problem displaying RTF files created in Word 2002/Office XP in a JEditorPane.
Our code, which does the usual stuff:
JEditorPane uiViewNarrativeEda = new JEditorPane();
uiViewNarrativeEda.setContentType(new RTFEditorKit().getContentType());
FileInputStream inDocument = new FileInputStream("c:/temp/testing.rtf"); uiViewNarrativeEda.read(inDocument, "");
inDocument.close();
works just FINE with RTF files created in Word 97, WordPad etc, but it seems that Word 2002 adds some tags to the RTF file that the RTFReader cannot handle.
For example, I believe the following exception is due to the new \stylesheet section that Word 2002 adds to the RTF file:
java.lang.NullPointerException:
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFReader$StylesheetDestination$StyleDefiningDestination.close(RTFReader.java:924)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFReader.setRTFDestination(RTFReader.java:254)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFReader.handleKeyword(RTFReader.java:484)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFParser.write(RTFParser.java, Compiled Code)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.AbstractFilter.readFromReader(AbstractFilter.java:111)
 at javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit.read(RTFEditorKit.java:129)
 at javax.swing.text.JTextComponent.read(JTextComponent.java:1326)
 at javax.swing.JEditorPane.read(JEditorPane.java:387)
Does anyone have similar problems or knows how I could get around this?
I thought about writing a parser that replaces the \stylesheet section with one that works but that seems a lot of work and it does not always work (I tried that by copying and pasting...).
Maybe I could replace the RTF converter that Word 2002 is using with another one - but how?

Hello again,
I found out that the 2002 version of MS Word writes a lot more of data into the file than e.g. Wordpad does.
There is one section that causes the problem, its called "\stylesheet".
My workaround (working in my case) is to wrap the input stream of the RTF document and remove this section (only in memory).
See example implementation:

Integration of the warpper looks like:
RtfInputStream inDocument = new RtfInputStream( new FileReader("test.rtf"));
Document doc = rtf.createDefaultDocument();
rtf.read(inDocument, doc, 0 );
Hope this helps - for me it did :-)
