Proper exporing techniques.

Hi all,
I need help in exporting my project. My timeline settings are DV-PAL. And used current settings when exporting to QT. I do NOT use Quicktime conversion, all i do is export QT use current settings.
The presentation are mostly compromised of JPEGS. The output has to be a DVD in PAL format.
if so what should my settings be in order to lessen the blur/pixelation of the presentation? At the same time, it is possible that i make a DVD that when you play in a CPU and use enter FULL screen, the movie i created does not pixelate or blur? I mean it looks fine on normal size, but people want tow atch it in FULL SCREEN. So how can i make it better?
Any techniques you share will be very helpful.
THANK YOU!!

what program are you using for DVD export? with DVD Studio Pro you want to make a mpeg2 compression. You can do this in FCP by File>Export>Compressor. There you will want to make two files, an Mpeg2 video file, and a dolby 2.0 file for audio. Place these 2 in DVD studio pro to write your DVD.
as far as your blurriness problem when viewing full screen on your comp. your pixel dimensions are not big enough to view full screen so when you choose full screen view; your pixels are being blown up to compensate for the smaller size of your pixel dimensions and your viewer is compensating by blurring the image. How you can get around this? i'm sure another user will have more insight.

Proper resizing technique

I need help with properly resizing a color logo.
I opened the logo in photoshop 1200dpi by 800dpi
I need to resize it to 300dpi.
When I do it loses its crispness, the diagonal edges show significant aliasing. I need the curves and edges to remain crisp. Anyone know of a good technique?

Make sure you're using the bicubic sharper algorithm, which is an option in the image size dialog box. Another thing you can do is duplicate the resize logo on another layer with ctrl-j command and run filter > other > high pass with a 1 pixel radius. Then set the blend mode of the top (duplicate) layer to soft light, overlay, vivid light or linear light in the layers panel. They will sharpen the image to stronger degrees, respectively. You can also reduce the opacity of the top layer to mitigate the effect.
I find the light halos of bicubic sharper and the above method can be distracting, particularly around fine lines and type, so I use blend if on the top layer. Double click the layer in the layers panel. With the option key pressed, click just to the left of the right-hand (white) slider under "this layer" in the blend if section. You should see the slider split in two. Then drag the left hand part of the split white slider all the way to the left. This keeps the sharpening halos from lightening things too much. I you need to you can always hit option while in the layer style dialogue box and "cancel" becomes "reset".

AE Files no longer working in Premiere

I do a weekly video for my church, motion graphics were created and I've been using the same files for a year, I do to drop the ae files in premiere exactly the same process every week no changes and the files just show a series of colored bars

After Effects, Premiere Pro, in fact any NLE does not save the source files with the project, only links to the files are stored. No editing or compositing program I have ever used in more than 20 years cutting films on a computer or in 40 years in film and television has ever done that. You have to gather the files and keep them organized. There is no failure on Adobe's part here, only failure to understand and apply proper workflow technique.
I'm working on a film that has more than 7 terabytes of footage can you imagine how long it would take for Premiere Pro to save the project file if it had to re-write 7 terabytes to the hard drive every time you did a save? You'll have to ask the original artist to reload the files then relink them in your AE project. It will just take a moment and if the folder names and locations are the same it will be automatic. Then I suggest that you use After Effects collect files feature to make a local copy you can keep safe.

Video and audio latency from 6 seconds to 4 seconds

Hello,
I have developed a video transmission and viewing application . I am facing a problem of one way video latency of about 6 seconds.
Adobe says that the latency can be reduced to about 3 seconds one way. I have set up the buffertime for transmitter about 3 seconds.
Please can anyone suggest me how to reduce the latency from 6 seconds to about 3 seconds ??
I have no issues regarding the bandwidth , but can anyone suggest the proper optimization technique for CPU and memory usage .
What should be the ideal configuration for minimum latency.
Currently my audio and video transmission one way is 6 sec and hence 2 way for both is 12 -14 sec.
Kindly guide me how to resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Chinmay Chitale

followed your instructions and as soon as I tick "multiplexed Mpeg-1/layer 2 audio" the m2v extension changes to mts. This won't play in Quicktime even if i change the extension to mpg, m2v or whatever. I'm assuming i need a quicktime plugin to fix this.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! Button in Flash CS3 not working

I need help desperately. As soon as possible. I only know the
VERY basic's of flash, so I need it to be simple!! I am using Flash
CS3, but the only coding I know is from Flash 8.
1.I simply want to just be able to type out text that will be
my button. (I clearly know how to do this)
2.Convert that text to a button. (I know how to do this as
well)
3. Apply an action to the button. (I keep getting the error
"actions cannot be applied to the current selection")
4. Have that button go to a specific place in the timeline
that I have named (It has the red flag next so I know where to send
the button to)
5. This is the ONLY code I know is even close to what I need
to have it be at:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("graphic");
//End Behavior
Is there a way to upload the flash files? If so I will
upload, because I know this sounds simple enough, but it wont work.
Thanks
Ashlee

You are trying to use AS1 in your movie, and the movie's
Publish settings are set to use AS3. You can use your current code
by opening the Publish Settings, going to the Flash tab and then
selecting AS1-AS2 in the Actionscript option.
A better, long term solution, would be to read through the
tutorials that come with Flash CS3 to learn the proper coding
techniques to use with AS3.

Looking to create a scroll bar within a section of a webpage

I think the best example of this is in the iTunes store i.e. you have a section of say, music, and you scroll left to right to see more.
I'd appreciate any help with this, whether it be the proper coding techniques or pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Muse does not currently provide this functionality, so it will require a bit of hand coding.

Help With Various Dreamweaver Issues

Dear Friends,
This is my first post and I appreciate any help any of you
can give me. My knowledge of web design is minimal, but I do have a
basic understanding. The fundamentals of HTML and web design as a
whole are pretty clear. My weakness, however, shows in the fine
detailed issues that come up throughout the course of designing a
website, and much of it may have to do with a lack of knowledge
with the software I'm using. I love Dreamweaver CS3. It's an
excellent program. I'm totally hooked!
I'm in the process of building a website for a friend who
owns a retail gift store. The site has a total of 41 pages. The URL
is
http://www.southerncharmgifts.net
It has taken me over a month to get this site to the place
where it is now. I've learned a TON about web design, CSS, and the
Dreamweaver program itself. I've been able to work through many of
the issues I've had, but I'm stuck on a few things:
1.
Browser Issues.
I've found it hard to sync the content between browsers:
namely IE and Firefox.
For example:
In IE the sub-menus wrap (as I want them to), but in Firefox
they do not. But in Firefox the sub-menu
box borders are visible (vertical menus), even though the
text doesn't wrap, but it's obviously in the dimensions that are
seen in IE.
In Firefox, the sub-menus are too far from the parent. It
looks bad. But they are perfect in IE.
The background image is centered in IE between the menus and
adverts, but not in Firefox. How do I get the background image to
remain between the menus and adverts? (Note: There is no background
on the home page. Also, wider screens seem to move the background
in IE, too.)
In the horizontal menu "Category" the sub-menu item "Babies"
cannot be selected in Firefox. In IE it works.
There are gaps between items in the horizontal sub-menu. It
appears to be related to items not wrapping, but it doesn't seem
that enlarging the sub-menu box causes the item to not wrap. For
example, under "Category" "Candles & Fragrances" is wrapped and
it seems to be the reason why there is a large gap between "Babies"
and "Eyewear." If I can find a way to get Candles & Fragrances
to NOT wrap it might remove the gap.
2. CSS Issue.
I can't find a way to have the sub-menu hover
underline instead of highlight the items. I want it to
underline.
3. "False" Issue.
In the
vertical sub-menu "by CATEGORY" the word "false" shows up
just below the word "Babies." (It's hard to see, but it's there.)
THANKS!!

Your limited research has failed to uncover the essence of
proper technique
in creating web pages. Layers are NOT a general layout tool
and will cause
you much more grief than you ever imagined. Here's one big
reason -

They are, but only for specialty applications.

It is my personal opinion based on seeing hundreds (if not
thousands) of new
users throw themselves on their swords as a result of having
committed to
pages built with layers, on this very forum.

Starting over from scratch need not involve a redesign of the
graphics. But
on a site built from layers, it would certainly involve a
rethinking of the
layout method. Read this -

Waking up ncWaitForState

Hello,
i have a problem with my application after updating from nican 1.6 to nican 2.1.2.
To receive CAN messages, i start a thread and wait with ncWaitForState. Now, if i want to stop this thread, i send NC_ST_STOP with ncAction, and ncWaitForState returned (in Version 1.6). With nican 2.1.2 ncWaitForState doesn't return. How can i perform the same functionality in the new version ?
I don't want to kill the thread because of proper programming techniques.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Black & code alert message

Hello,
I'm using FCP to black & code mini DV tapes. After the message "... you are about to erase ..." and click okay to start black & code, another message came up saying " The selected audio & video devices may not match: Apple Fire wire NTSC (720X480) & Built in Audio. Please verify that the audio & video outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s). Do you want to proceed?" I'm using a Canon GL2, fire wire and a 12" G4 laptop. I've blacked/coded a few tapes before, but don't remember this message. What does it mean?
Thanks

Holly,
I fully understand the advantages of logging the tape and capturing that way ... its the way I've done it all along. What I don't understand is how blacking the tape prior to a shoot would help in that process if you're using proper shooting techniques.
In the old days of analog tape, you'd routinely black a tape in order to lay down an unbroken timecode or control track IF that tape was going to used for insert editing or recording - it was pretty useless for assemble editing or recording since assemble recording overwrites information including the timecode and/or control track.
With the advent of digital tape formats, it's no longer an issue. If you record the appropriate amount of preroll and post roll for each shot, the timecode being written by the camcorder should remain unbroken unless the camcorder looses all battery/power, including the lithium battery which holds the settings. Essentially, all you're doing is adding a pass to the tape. For example, if you black virgin tape, when you go to shoot, it will be the second pass on that tape.

IPhone 4 Bumper scratch options

hi i know people are going to say how can plastic scratch metal but before i put bumper on i clean it wit iphone cleaning cloth and clean iphone antenna but it still scratches i rang apple and they said they would give me a new bumper however these scratches have significantly de-vauled my iphone 4. what are my option and could i get a new phone also would cleaning iphone antenna with alcoholic swab damage the antenna

The rubber bumper cannot scratch the iPhone. However, the bumper does not make a hermetic seal with the iPhone, and dirt/dust/crud can get between the iPhone surface and the bumper...and that can scratch the iPhone. The proper iPhone technique is included in the User's Guide, and that's available online. I would not expect that alcohol would damage the antenna, however, it is likely that alcohol would deteriorate the oleophobic coating on the iPhone screen.

How do I record message for voicemail? When I hit record button, Suri pops up

How do I record my outgoing message for voicemail? When I choose "custom" then "record" Suri pops up.

Wow...
What do expect when recording with a seventy-five cent microphone into a two dollar built-in audio chip by a person with little or no audio recording experience?
Logic cannot perform magic.
Most users who want good (or even adequate) sound purchase external hardware which means a professional or semi-pro audio interface and at least one good microphone. Then they study or read up on best how to mic an acoustic piano. (and that's just for starters)
To answer your question, it sounds like it in a tin can because:
1. Too much room sound causing phase problems. Sound waves are bouncing off different walls, ceiling and reaching the mic at different times and canceling out some frequencies.
2. Mic placement, it needs to be closer to the piano, preferably the back of the piano. The closer to the piano the mic is the less room sound you will pick up.
3. The built-in mic isn't helping... obviously.
You could've used Garageband or any number of free audio programs and gotten the same results.
Logic is a professional (or was) audio program designed to be the centerpiece of a digital audio studio but it can't make a bad recording sound good... it may be able to improve it a bit but the biggest difference will be made by educating yourself on proper recording techniques and purchasing a decent audio interface and microphone.

Using OpenCV Library in Flex

hello everyone. I am quite new to Alchemy. I have been trying to create a Video Recorder for Flex using proper encoding techniques. I tried out this code for Capturing and storing video: http://tdotblog.info/?q=node/1 It works fine but there is no concept of P-, B- and I-frames in the file, so the file created is extremely hungry and unexpectedly large in size.
So, I thought of creating something in C/C++ and porting it into Flex using Alchemy. I managed to create a video encoder successfully in C using the OpenCV Library and Xvid encoding format.
Now I want to create a SWC file out of it using Alchemy. But Alchemy refuses to accept any external libraries during compilation. So, I have to compile the OpenCV libraries using Alchemy so that they can be linked.
I don't know how do I go about it. I cannot find any way of Compiling OpenCV .lib files using Alchemy. Kindly help me out with this one.

Hi guy,
I would like to understand your pb. You want to build opencv with alchemy ? (create an swc?) and link this on in an other swc used in action script?
I have two questions for u.
Did you build succesfully opencv with alchemy? And how do you link the opencv.swc created with your swc used in action script?

Griddata 'v4' interpolation

I'm using an equation node so that I can use the griddata('v4') method for interpolating an (x,y,z) Data set. For the most part, it seems like the interpolation is generating the right points. But in some cases I'm running into some unexplained results.
I'll plot a series of points (x,y,z), with the max z value equal to -60. Generally, when I plot (x,y) points with a z value of -60 (depending on the values of the neighboring points) I would expect to get a value of a little above -60 or a little below. Most of the time these results are produced. Other times, in the same data set, I have points that have z values of -110, -115, and -90, that end up creating a new, interpolated z value of -70. This jump in the z value makes me question whether or not I'm using the proper interpolation technique.
The data that I'm graphing should look like a hill, with a single peak, as the altitude decreases with distance. Smaller hills may appear as the distance from the center peak grows, but there should never be a peak near the value of the maximum peak.
I've attached a vi that shows 3 views of the data:
1. Plot - location of points with z values attached
2. 2d Mesh - 2d view of data after mesh/interpolation
3. 3d Graph - 3d view of data after mesh/interpolation
Some of the reasons for this sort of error may be due to the clustered nature of some of the lower z values. My only reasoning for these erroneous peaks is that these lower values are some how stacking together, which end up creating poor results. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get around this?

meshing, peaks.vi ‏4909 KB

Yeah I've looked online at matlab interpolation function here:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/griddata.html&http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=matlab+griddata&btnG=Search
This looked okay to me. I think I've determined that the number of samples and the spacing between the samples really does matter in the final output. I am plotting then interpolating between nearly 200 points. There are a few other posts online that I'm going to continue to look at to see if there are any differences between the interpolations styles.
I'm still having a hard time understanding the two resultant peaks that are generated after I interpolate over the entire data set (both of which are nearly equal in value). To try and isolate the problem, I interpolated over part of the data set, the portion which I believe to generate the 2nd erroneous peak. But when I did this, I saw a peak intensity which is 20 values lower than what was generated with all the data (this is what I expect). So, I really don't see anything which might indicate there is anything wrong with the interpolation. I'll post again, if I figure out what's going on. Thanks for the response.

Ps/sql performance tunning

Book 'Oracle PL/SQL Tips and Techniques' by TUSC guys is good one.
First thing is to use proving coding stretagies, which is key to gain performance even without tuning; then using proper tuning techniques. Tuning is no more than a polishing, if it is a dent, polishing will not solve it.

DNS Stopped Working -- I'm confused!

Ok. I read numerous articles (Hoffman Labs included) and have posted previous discussion threads on various versions of this issue. I feel that I have a somewhat functional yet growing knowledge of the proper setup techniques. I had my public facing DNS setup and functional for over 2 weeks on my OSX server.
