Pros and cons of quicktime movie or YouTube on your website?

Hello All,
I want to add a short movie to my website and I have watched the tutorials on adding a quicktime movie and a YouTube movie to your website.
However, they didn't say what the pros and cons were. Is it better to add a quicktime movie to your site or a link to YouTube.
How easy or hard is it to add a link to Vimeo?
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
Mike

Hi Michael,
The pros of hosting the movie yourself on your .me website is that you have control over the content in your movie; if you put copyrighted music in your video and upload it to youtube and they recognize it (and they usually do) no one will be able to view the video on youtube without being logged in to youtube as you.
The cons are that if you upload movies to iweb, you'll be using some bandwidth every time someone watches it, and there is a limit to what is include with the mobile me subscription.
Adding a youtube video embedded in your site is easy. Just use the HTML snippet (or did they update one just for you tube?) and copy the "embed" information from the file on you tube, and paste it in the html window. easy as pie.
I don't know anything about "Vimeo" but any links are easy if you're leaving your site and sending a clicker to the page with what you want to show. Embedding is easy if they give you embed tools at the site you want to borrow from (like youtube does).

Pros and cons for posing video to youtube for use in iWeb

Hello
Can someone explain the pros and cons of posting video to YouTube for use in an iWeb website instead of iDisk?
Thanks
Carl

Carl ~ Some of the following points have already been mentioned above, but anyway...
Pros for posting videos to YouTube are:
Viewers of your video wouldn't be using up your limited .Mac data transfer allowance.
Once your site is published, if subsequently you have to do a +Publish All+ from iWeb, you wouldn't be uploading your video yet again to .Mac ~ saving time and usage of your limited .Mac data transfer allowance.
YouTube videos have a wide audience and popular features such as ratings, playlists, comments, etc.
Cons for posting videos to YouTube are:
Limitations on size and quality of videos and their unappealing presentation style. For example, compare YouTube's presentation style and limited size options with that of a +.Mac Web Gallery+:
http://gallery.mac.com/emily_parker#100471
Perhaps a compromise would be to post your videos to YouTube (for the publicity) and link from your iWeb site to a +.Mac Web Gallery+ (for its elegance and avoidance of iWeb re-publishing it.)

Audio Issue - Using Logic Pro and iMovie to Create Movies for Youtube

I am trying to use a combination of Quicktime, iMovie and Logic Pro 9 to create videos of me playing/singing songs to post on Youtube. Before I can ask the question, I think it would be best to briefly explain my process, so here's one example:
One thing I try to do is video myself playing piano and singing at the same time. What I do is open up Logic Pro and load my piano sound and arm an audio track that my microphone is plugged in to; I also go to "System Preferences" and click on "Sound" and make sure that my audio interface is selected for the input method. Then, I open up Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording". Finally, I open up my software for my interface and set it up for "loopback"...there's a picture below.
If you look at the bottom of the interface, you'll see it says "DAW 1: Loop Back 1" and "DAW 2: Loop Back 2". Ideally, this means that whenever I start recording in Quicktime, all of the sounds that I am making in Logic (the piano playing and the singing) will loop back into the computer and be recorded by Quicktime. This does actually happen, but my question is this:
I've noticed that the sound quality of software instruments is drastically reduced once they have been recorded by Quicktime (or iMovie) and I play the movie back. Actual audio files, like me singing or playing a real instrument aren't really affected, but for some reason the software instruments sound very thin once I listen to the audio in the movie. Why is this happening? Is there a way to preserve the audio quality to be the same during video playback as it is when I am playing the instruments live in Logic?

Interesting and convoluted way to get something done.. from what you're describing it almost sounds like the software instruments are somehow getting recorded twice but slightly out of phase.
When you record your singing are you monitoring through headphones or speakers?

What are the pros and cons re using an intel iMac vs MacPro with LP8?

I'm considering getting a new intel Mac in the near future (presuming a new MacPro will be released in the near future - maybe at the same time as Leopard). I compose largely for film and television and I am composing largely using a combination of loops, software instruments and some recorded live performance. I usually sync to a low res quicktime movie.
I do like the idea of a simple and uncluttered work environment with an iMac, added to which there's also a degree of portability with the iMac however the MacPro is obviously more powerful. I'm not sure how much the difference in power between the two computers would affect me.
Would I be compromising myself much if I went for the iMac over the MacPro? What are the pros and cons of the iMac vs the MacPro in relation to Logic Pro 8?

In the world large-scale music composition using samples, loops, etc (especially for film) your two biggest needs are RAM and HD speed/access. The imac looses big time in this department (as a single computer at least) as it can only be upgraded to 4gb ram, and only holds one internal HD, and also lacks any PCI expansion for DSP cards, audio interfaces, etc.
In generalyou want to separate your data vs applications as much as possible, to ensure both can be accessed quickly and easily by the computer. So its best to have your system software / applications on one internal HD, and your logic data (samples, audio recordings, loops) on another drive(s). You can do this with an iMac via USB, FW800, & FW400, but depending on how big your projects get, how many USB and FW drives / interfaces you use, and how much data you need to stream, you could overload the buss on the imac (not sure if it has multiple busses or not). Plus speed wise, internal SATA are much faster than external drives, and the mac pro with its 4 internal slots seems like a great choice for speed and flexibility.
However, if you dont find yourself doing large scale projects, then you might be better off going with an imac. We just purchased one for my father and it runs great! It blows the socks off of my Dual 2.5 G5 tower in terms of CPU speed! If you run into problems running things from the imac, you could always add a mac-mini down the road to stream sample libs, as a Logic node, etc, which seems to be a much more cost effective solution.
I hope this was helpful, but I probably just made the decision harder . In fact, if I were to start over today, I dont know if I'd go with a MacPro, or an iMac / mac mini combination. they both seem to have their advantages / disadvantages.
Best of luck!

Pros and Cons not determining / having a Delivery Plant in Sales Order?

Hi Mates
Here I have come-up with one more (weired?) requirement from my client.
We have two plants manufacturing same product and supplying to all customers (some time in same sales order with two different line items).
At the timeof creating a sales order, marketing does't know from which plant the material will move and hence they don't want to fill the Delivering Plant field (VBRP-BUKRS at Shipping tab) for each Item.
They are insisting me to map it as above though I had explained about various pros and cons for not determining a mandatory delivery plant
in sales order like the requirements and shipping stuff.
Yet, yet they want this.
Has anyone come across this kind of requirement before? What best you had done for that?
Can I ask you what are the Pros and cons on not having a Delivery Plant at Sales Order level?
what if I could determine it Delivery level?
Any comments, suggestions, replies and advices are taken humbly.
Cheers
Ajay Kumar Veeranki

Dear Mahulenka
Thanks a lot for the reply. It do have helped me.
Yest it is VBAP-WERKS (typo error ).
Infact I had given the same solution for the issue.
Interstingly, they are insisting on a better solution fit for their requirement. Anyway shall 'highlight' the points again to them try to get it solved
Just wondering has anyone faced the same situation before.
Thanks again for the reply and good luck

Pros and cons of creating a table with key

Hi Folks
I have some tables where there is no key defined in the source system. What is the best way to build such tables. In my case the source system is Teradata.
I have 25-30 columns in dimension and what is the best way to load this data where there is no.
What will be the Pros and Cons if I have a table without a key or if I create a table with 25-30 keys.
regards
Poonam

I recently purchased a Mac Mini and am using it with my TV. Here's what I found:
Using the HDMI connection on the Mac Mini, the image on the TV is very harsh. It's very bright, high contrast and garish colors. I did a lot of testing and am convinced this is due to the HDMI Display Profile in OS X Yosemite. I could not find any way to change the display profile in the Mac Mini as long as HDMI was the connection.
Using the miniDisplayport/Thunderbolt connection on the Mac Mini, with the Apple miniDisplayPort-DVI adapter and a DVI-HDMI cable the picture is perfect. (Note, however, that this connection only carries video; if you want audio you will have to use a separate cable to connect the Mac Mini audio line out port to your TV's audio line in port.)
That said, the larger the TV the less quality you will have displaying text. I suggest using a 21" or smaller TV as a monitor if you will be doing text work.
My setup is with a 40" Sony Bravia 1080p HDTV and the primary use is for video (concerts, movies, Skype, etc), not office apps. As I said earlier, the picture is perfect - brightness, contrast, colors, resolution are as nice as I could ask for.

Pros and Cons of putting jspx pages under WEB-INF

Greetings All,
I have been using JHeadstart release 10.1.3 Prod for a while now and was generating pages in various subdirectories under WEB-INF/pages/ and things are working fine.
However, recently I came across a post in jDeveloper forum Re: Access JSF Pages within WEB-INF directory where Frank Nimphius has mentioned that there is no sense in putting JSP files that are used with JSF into WEB-INF.
I know that in struts world it makes sense to put the jsp files under WEB-INF to prevent the users from directly accessing them and force them to access them only via struts actions/navigation rules; but in JSF world we anyway expose the jspx names to the user and in-fact if we keep the pages under WEB-INF the url to access the pages also contains 'faces/WEB-INF/...'
Thus, I would like to get opinion from various experienced professionals participating in this forum and more so from JHeadStart team members on Pros and Cons of putting jspx pages under WEB-INF
regards - rutwik

Rutwik,
From your reply it seems that, for now, there should not be any impact on us as long as we don't upgrade to JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, as anyway the current JHS version is not certified against it.
Correct.
However, to be compatible with future releases of JHS and JDeveloper, will it be good to change the location of pages in our JHeadStart definitions to move them a directories above the WEB-INF etc and re-run the JHeadStart generators?
Yes.
Or, will the patch take care of modifying the current JHeadStart definations?
No, Service Update 1 has a different default value for the pages dir , it is now /pages/ instead of /WEB-INF/page/, that's all.
Also, with this patch, will we be able to upgrade to jDeveloper 10.1.3.1, which we would like to do once we have a production release?
Yes, Service Update 1 is compatible with JDev 10.1.3.1

Neptune for UI development Pros and Cons

Hi ,
we are evaluating neptune for UI development for what are the pros and cons of using neptune.
i see only that webdynpro abap developer can be easily moved to neptune , some javascript knowledge is still required.
some question
1) can neptune make calls to odata services ? do that requires code in javascript or ABAP
2) any accelerators provided by neptune like for workflow scenarios , list and details .
3) can sap standard fiori apps extensibility or modification is possible through neptune
4) security if its accessing business functionality directly
regards
Yashpal

Hi Yashpal,
I will give you my view, but as Robbe says I work for the company and other SAP developers like DJ Adams has other development tool preferences than me ( I call his Sublime Text development spaghetti coding and he sees Neptune as a crutch that restricts a developer's freedom but this is just a friendly point-of-view discussion and I have promised him a beer in Walldorf next time our paths cross there)
So the important message is that SAP has opened up their platform for different development tools and it is now a choice for the individual developer or SAP customer. This is a fantastic move by SAP and I think a bit overlooked by the community, Look at the new Xamarin partnership as an example (and yes they are a competitor, but I did mention them )
Now the pros of Neptune are in my opinion:
ABAP developer friendly development (removed 90% of JavaScripting needed)
Connected to the SAP transport System (Software Logistics as is)
Drag Drop designer that gives structured code (easy for a new developer to take over code, compared to the spaghetti provided by DJ <- I'll need to buy a few extra beers for that remark)
Native json communication provided by the Neptune Server (you can argue all you want about Odata, our solution is more flexible gives incredible performance and superb and easy to use offline capabilities)
Integration with Adobe build, use an SAP program to generate hybrid apps (The average ABAP developer does not install cordova and build hybrid apps - with Neptune he/she does)
Integration with SMP. Automatic connection with the REST API's of SMP both on-premise and in the Cloud
Reduced time to market. One of the largest SAP implementation partners in the Nordics stated that Neptune reduced development time by 80%
Free templates (Advanced templates such as fully functional PM, HCM, SD templates are available Experience | Neptune Software <- sorry for the marketing but you did ask)
UI5, all of the other third-party tools (Not SAP tools like App Builder, Eclipse etc) uses non UI5 frameworks. I personally believe that SAPUI5 (UI5) is the future of SAP UX and thus it only makes sense to keep a common and future-proof framework.
Network crunching. We optimize all networking. Which makes sense for mobility.
no extra infrastructure needed - it is a certified add-on and takes 15 mins to install.
Works with most versions of SAP. We even have alot of customers using 4.7 (we need the ICF so nothing lower). This is something the community often forgets. Yes it is cool to play with the latest Netweaver release, but do our customers have that installed?
Cons (woot!)
Cost, even if Neptune is very affordable it still requires license for productive usage (free for developers though - and hey we need to live as well ) So custom coding is cheaper in respect to license (but not in TCO in my opinion)
Generated code, even if we have added as much freedom to code custom JavaScript as possible there will always be restrictions in generated code compared to notepad. (But I haven't met an issue that couldn't be solved by custom coding in the Neptune Application Designer yet)
Other backend systems. Neptune is based on ABAP and as such it obviosly works best with an ABAP backend.
.... (Add stuff from other non Neptune ppl )
Regarding your questions:
1. Yes you can use Odata, best way is to consume it on the ABAP level, but you can of course consume it through JavaScript as well (Not recomended by me)
2. Yes see above (free templates and also premium templates by our partners)
3. No you can't modify a fiori app with Neptune, but the two solutions work perfectly together (You can add Neptune apps in the Fiori launchpad) One of our partners have created an RDS solution based on both Fiori and Neptune.
4. Neptune is an add-on to Netweaver and as such has no extra security in itself beyond that (And we seek not to do that). But we support any security you wish to add on top. I strongly advice having a look at the SAP Secure offering (App protection and MDM) as well as SMP (also the new Cloud edition which gives easy affordable protection for your backend)
So that was my very biased answer

Pros and Cons to "booting" iPad 2 as developer to use multi-touch gestures??

Just like it sounds...
I have a new iPad 2 that i would like to have more multi-touch gestures and have heard doing this will do it. Also, heard that possibly the new iOS 5 will have it already. So how exactly do i do this and what are the pros and cons.
thanks,
John

It should be enabled in iOS 5 later in the year - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps

Failure to upload MPEG-4 QuickTime movie to YouTube

Tried several times, yesterday and today, to upload an MPEG-4 QuickTime movie to YouTube. I created it according to their specs. I emailed them twice in two days and haven't got a reply yet.
This is the Safari message I get after about a minute of what seems like uploading to the YouTube web site—from their upload page:
Safari can’t open the page “http://v168.youtube.com/myvideospost”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)
I spoke with Apple tech, Earthlink (ISP) tech, and searched Google with keywords, but still don't know what's going on. I'm hoping YouTube will reply to me. Has anyone else had this problem recently?—and solved it?
(Did you also prepare your upload according to YouTube's specs?)
Thank you,
Morty
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iLife '06 w/iMovie 6.0.3

using
"NSURLErrorDomain:-1005"
as a search term here or at google offers a wide variety of posts.. and "fixes" ...
* use another browser, e.g. Firefox
* reset Safari and clear cache
* set MTU to a lower number .. .(<< don't ask ME! ... somewhere in your network/ethernet settings... )
that error occured me lately while accessing this board ... I thought, some "maintaince failor", tried later - done.
sorry, for being ... more a voodoo priest then a helping hand ..

Mouse 4 and marks - pros and cons with Mavericks

Hello,
I'm pretty new to mac but have had computers for many many years. However I've bought the latest iMac maxed out.
Pros and cons:
Pros: It's an Apple product. It great really and I love it. The only wonder I have is why they made the computer thinner and didn't install a true desktop graphic card in there. I guess it's because they don't want people to buy that computer instead of Mac Pro.
Cons:
1. I've been searching for a way for go back in a browser faster without trackpad/magicmouse. There is only thirdparty programs that I have to pay for that support Mouse 4, for example. Still don't understand why Apple have chosen not to support this. Atleast allow me to just drag the window like we do on the iPhone. Right now I have to either click the back button or right click and chose "Back".
2. When I'm in my Videos folder or any type of folder really. Let's say I have a folder with 10 movies in it. I open one, watch it and then close the player. I then can't see which video I just watched. The only way to see this is either to remember the videoname or open all videos again until I find it. In Windows, the video/file will be marked so I know which file I just watched.
3. iCloud service are very nice, but still a little hard to understand how it works. If I transfer all my pictures from my iPhone to my iMac using iCloud and then delete them all from my phone. Will they disappear on my Mac too? Since the systems are synced?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Pros and Cons of upgrading GT60 RAID0 to SSD and HDD

I purchased a GT60-0NCR-002US from Amazon last fall and am thinking of upgrading the HD set up.
Currently it has 2 500gb drives arranged in a RAID0.
I'm considering upgrading this to a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD and am curious to get some feedback about the pros and cons of doing this.
I'm assuming this setup would be considerably faster than the current one since I'd have the OS and all program files on the SSD. I'm not sure whether the 7200rpm 32gb cache HDD would be faster or slower than the current RAID0 but since this would only contain my documents and media, I don't think it's of that much concern.
Another question I have is how I'd go about getting Windows back on the system after replacing the hard drives. Could I reinstall an image of the current OS or would the fact that I'm changing the hard drive set up make that impossible?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Quote from: joshsayers on 23-May-13, 09:18:47
I just noticed on the original Amazon page where I bought the computer that the rpm of each 500GB disk is 7200. Considering they are in a RAID0 format, wouldn't I then be sacrificing speed going to one 1TB 7200rpm drive?
Maybe the decrease in speed for the data/media HDD would be more than compensated by having the OS and all software run off an SSD drive, though...
Regarding the re-installation of Windows: yes, I have the backup disk here. So it would just be a matter of re-installing on the SSD drive before the regular HD was installed? I called MSI help and asked them about this and the guy told me that because I would be going from RAID0 to two separate HDDs that this would affect the BIOS and thus the original Windows backup disk would be obsolete. Any truth to this?
The SSD + HDD will be much better overall. For media, does it really MATTER how fast it is? In all honesty, not really. The SSD makes everything else snappy, so what if you have to wait an extra 10 seconds when you copy a movie over and stuff? I wouldn't care, overall the laptop will FEEL much faster, and it generally will be.
There is SOME truth to what he said. You will have to change the bios to go from a RAID to AHCI or IDE (AHCI is preferred, but it may not work....I'm not sure). THAT much is true. The restore disk should work as usual though. It doesn't care WHERE it gets installed at, just that it gets installed. Atleast, it didn't matter for me.

Pros and Cons of the new update

I updated one of my ATV to version 2. I would like to try and concisely start a thread which list the Pros and Cons of the latest version 2 update.
So far after updating one of the ATVs I have only 2 observations:
Pro - unit seems to run somewhat cooler - (yes one ATV is Version 1 and 1 ATV is version 2, it is obvious)
Con - No looping or shuffle on Music Videos (Good Grief!)
Thanks all, Mike
PS - Concisely is key

Pro - the library selection of renting and buying is great.
Con - no continuous playing of videos / music video playlist.
Con - no continuous playing of videos / music video playlist.
Con - no continuous playing of videos / music video playlist.
Con - no continuous playing of videos / music video playlist.
I was extremely disappointed by this. As much as people were practically "begging' for this piece of functionality on these discussion boards, I really cannot believe Apple didn't fix this. The coolness factor of Apple TV would quadruple if I can just make a playlist of the 50+ music videos I bought from ITMS. Not to mention - I collet vintage movie trailers and old commercials and randomly playing these on my TV was the entire reason I bought Apple TV in the first place. It's unbelivably annoying that I have to manually select the next video in the list every 60 seconds. All the features they added are great, but they are completely overshadowed by this annoying and seemingly unnecessary usability issue.
