Problems with in/out points when submitting jobs via Terminal/command-line

I've writting a GUI based script which allows a user to select a source Quicktime file, and will encode that file to multiple formats, and trims each destination based on specific timecode in/out points. However, I'm having problems getting the Compressor command-line interface to honor the in/out timecodes that I've explicitly set for multiple jobs within a single commandline.
In other words, if I want to encode a source Quicktime between 01:00:00:00 and 01:00:29:23 with just ONE setting/destination, then the following commandline works:
/Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923
But if I try to append multiple settings/destinations to the commandline, Compressor will only honor the -in/-out arguments which appear in the LAST -jobpath instance in the commandline.
For example, the following commandline will properly encode the file to multiple destination files, using the appropriate .settings file, but it ignores the -in/-out points that were set for any -jobpath instance that appears before the last -jobpath instance (in other words, every file is output using 00:59:57:00/01:00:30:01 as the in/out points, instead of having the "*_OTWC.mov" file output using 01:00:00:00 as the in point)
/Applications/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor -clustername MHM -batchname CLI_BATCH -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/OTWC.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_OTWC.mov -in 01000000 -out 01002923 -jobpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST_SRC.mov -settingpath /Volumes/common/settings/compressor/M9_Slave/_Local_/HNN-HD.setting -destinationpath /Volumes/mel/temp/20120329/TEST1234_Testing30_HNN-HD.mov -in 00595700 -out 01003001
It's wierd that everything else about this command-line syntax works as expected (and as explicitly stated in the Compressor -help output, which says "when submitting individual source files. (The) Following parameters are repeated to enter multiple job targets in a batch"), except for the -in/-out points.
I've even tried quoting the -in/-out arguments using colons (e.g., -in "01:00:00;00") , but this doesnt appear to change the behavior.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something here?

Hide ui/pw when submitting job via FORMS HOST cmd

I have a oracle procedure that returns the run_command string. Ex . sqlplus ui/pwd @report.sql. The run_command string returned by the procedure is run via the HOST command in oracle Forms.
HOST(run_command) submits the job but it exposes the ui and pa that is used in the run_command string. On UNIX, if I do ps ef | grep sqlplus after the job is submitted by the HOST command, I can see the ui/pwd in the run_command.
How can I submit the job via HOST command without exposing the ui/pwd ?
Thanks
GP

Thanks for the reply.
The users have individual userid and passwords and I will have to pass it to the shell script that runs the report.
That will be exposed by ps -ef.
I can't create a single query only id because I have some reports that do inserts and updates.
Is there a way I can hide the userid and password that I am passing to the shell script.
Thanks.

Problem with fading out particles in cs5

I have a problem with fading out particles or anything for that matter in my CS5 after effects! I set up the key frames right. O opacity at first and whatever number at next and it fades in fine, But when I try to do the reverse it will not fade out and only stops the effect if I cut its durration at the red par representing it on the top of the time line. This produces and rough aburpt cut of the effect which will not due. Please can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong that I can't fade out particles with opacity?

First question: What OS and what's the build of CS5.5?
Second question: What effect are you using? There are a bunch of ways to generate particles.
Last question: if you turn off the effect can you get the layer to fade out? Pressing Alt/Option + t will set a keyframe for opacity on your layer and reveal the keyframe in the time line. Do that, set the value to 0, then move down the timeline a few frames and set the value to 100. This should generate another keyframe. Now move down a few more frames and press Alt/Option + t or change the value for opacity to anything and then back to 100, or copy the previous keyframe and paste to set a 3rd keyframe. Finally move down a few more frames and set the value to 0. You should have 4 keyframes in your tlimeline for opacity. If you want to clean up the layer press Alt/Option + ] to set the out point for the layer.
Everything should work just fine. Turn on the effect and your layer and the effect should fade out.
If you want to do something else with the particles, like fade out a particle over the lifetime of the particle we'll need to know which plug-in you're using.

I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Problem with comma and point

Hello,
I have a problem with comma and point in a double-digit.
I use a english driver for HM8142. When I get the values then I only get
int-digits. How can I change "Use comma as separator" . I tried to change
the option in LabVIEW.
I changed it, then I got the window. "To change, restart the programm". I
have done this. But when I have a look at the option, it is not changed.
What can I do?
I am not the admin on the computer.
Martin

Hi Martin,
you do not have to change any system settings neither in LabVIEW nor in your windows.
All instrument drivers should use a point as decimal separator. You can overwrite the decimal point handling in the string functions "Scan from string" and "Format into string".
Make a right click on the function and use "Edit Scan String". In the dialog open the ring under "Selected operation", the last entry allows you to set the character for the decimal separator. This separator will be used for all the following floating point numbers.
From your name and problem I think you are located in central europe. I do not have a german version of LV so I cannot tell you how the elements are named in german.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab. Everything else seems to work okay in itunes. I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone. Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay. The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps. The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up. I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added. If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it. I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there. I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems. HELP.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!

Problems with TV Out signal after upgrading to iOS 5.1

Has anyone experienced problems with TV Out signals on their iPad 2 using the Apple HDMI Adapter after upgrading to iOS 5.1? I am trying to connect to my HDTV after upgrading and cintunally receive an "Unsupported Video Signal" message with a blank/back screen. Prior to upgrading, I had no connection problems and could view TV Shows, Movies, Music Videos, Keynote, etc...without problems. I've been unable to find any resolution to this problem, even followed Apple guidance to detach and reattach the HDMI adapter without success. Seems like a software bug to me and it's a major problem when trying to conduct business or personal activities. Hopeing Apple has a fix in work already...anyone else have any ideas? Thx in advance...

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings.

Problems with filling out PDF forms

We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

And for a very practical reason from your point of view: using all caps looks like SHOUTING, and people will concentrate more on the SHOUTING than on answering your question. Some will just ignore you for this reason.
If updated drivers don't fix the problem, perhaps you can tell us what is the "PROBLEM WITH LIGHTROOM CC BRUSH WHEN THE GPU IS TURN ON" that you are having.

Dragging a clip made with In/Out points from viewer

I'm using Tom Wolsky's book FCE 3.5 to learn FCE 4.
I'm hoping it will at least get me through some of the minutiae.
I'm on page 44 and 45 "Slicing your clips" and under "Slice 1" #9 it says I should drag the marked clip from the viewer and drop it in my newly created bin marked "Clips".
When I drag whats in the viewer with my new In/Out points into my browser, I'm dragging the entire "Temple" clip into my browser that has the marked In/Out points on it, not just the clip made with the In/Out points.......my understanding is that I'm supposed to be dragging the clip I just made, not the entire Temple scene with the In/Out points simply marked......
Naturally, any help or scathing insight would be great!

I guess I wasn't supposed to be dragging the clip itself, but the master clip >with In/Out points on it..........
but the master clip >with *(_new in/out points_ and been made to a Modify>Make Master Clip)* In/Out points on it.
The new ones are now independant.

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)
