PSE 7: Is it possible to use VLC instead of Quicktime to play movies?

Hi, I have VLC (VideoLAN)installed (using Vista). It plays my .mov video files. But PSE 7 still requests Quicktime to be installed. Isn't it possible to use VLC within PSE? Thanks. /Frank

It's not possible (that I know of) to play movies using the VLC engine within PSE.
You can try installing a QuickTime alternative and then you may be able to play the .mov files in the PSE Organizer, but I don't have PSE to tell you. See http://www.codecguide.com/qt_lite.htm for more info
you could go to http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/ and request this feature/functionality

Is it possible to use Oracle instead of DB2 with Netweaver Test-drive 2004?

Dear all,
Recently I ordered on SAP Knowledge shop the Netweaver Test-Drive 2004 DVD (the 32-bit version for Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)).
Before the installation I had already installed Oracle Enterprise 11g (Release 2). However the DVD installed both AS and DB2.
What I would like to ask is that is it possible to use my already installed Oracle database with Netweaver and
remove DB2 from hard disk?
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hello there,
Thank you very much for your help.

Is it possible to use WEBDAV instead of FTP

We would like to use the PI system also as a kind of FTP Server.
For Server to Server communication we will use FTPs.
In case users have to place files on the PI system (on dedicated directories) we would like to provide them a possibility to do this seemlessly and in a secure manner.
Therefore WEBDAV seems to be the right choice as this offers the https protocol and in addition in can be integrated with MS Explorer. So, users can easily drag & drop files.
But there are some concerns:
Is WEBDAV already available with a PI installation or do I have to install addtional usage types like KM or Portal?
Even if WEBDAV is part of the PI: how can I access these files later on with PI means? As far as I know WEBDAV is storing the information in the MIME repository which is a part of the database. Is there a way to store the data in the filesystem?
I know there also exists a WEBDAV solution for SAP DB but we are running Oracle.
Maybe there are better solutions than WEBDAV. FTP is no choice at all as we have to use a secure protocol. Ok I know, we could use FTPs but this can't be integrated into MS Explorer. You will need additional client software.
Any ideas & thoughts are welcome.

Hi Klaus !
As far as I know, WEBDAV is not natively supported by XI/PI. You could use a Java Proxy server adapter, that is supported by XI, that consists of a java application that runs in the XI server that could receive messages from XI (coming from a ftp/file adapter or also from a java proxy client) and have the logic to "speak" the webdav protocol to the receiver repository.
Maybe using XI for this purpose will generate too much overhead.

Matias.

Possible to have 4 menus on right, that play movie on left?

Hi guys... see here, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4784153/idea.jpg...
I am wondering if this is possible in DVDSP? I have setup the page like this, I have my menu's in place but can menu items be coded to play a movie sitting in a well on the left hand side of the screen? And while movie 1 was playing can the user still move the selection on the right up and down to change the movie?
Thanks in advance!

The only way to do this is set up seperate motion menus. Each menu contains your individual videos while the text on the right is the same. From here you would set up hidden auto-activate buttons, which target the correct menu.
For example, pressing down from the # 1 button goes to a hidden button which is set to target the 2nd menu. basically all menus have 6 buttons - 3 are hidden.
The down side of all this, is that navigation will be clunky and slow since the laser must refocus to the new menu each time you travel between buttons. Same thing as layered menus in DVDSP but this uses motion menus. Also...No....you cannot toggle while having the video playing.

Why does Quicktime X play 1080 jerky compared to VLC?

Hi,
I imported some 1920x1080 60i footage from my Canon HF G10 camcorder into Final Cut Pro X (v10.0.3). No transcoding or proxy. It just rewrapped the MTS files into MOV.
I located the video files (.MOV) in the Final Cut Pro Event folder (Original) and opened one video using Quicktime X (v10.1). The Inspector hud reports:
Format: 'avc1', 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 155.7 MB
Data Rate: 24.10 Mbit/s
Current Size: 1,920 × 1,080 pixels (Actual)
When I play the video in Quicktime X it is jerky. It also plays it jerky inside Final Cut Pro X. Though if I create a Proxy (or Optimised Media) it plays that smoothly because it transcodes it to ProRes 422.
However, when I play the same video (untranscoded, original .MOV) using VLC (v2.0.1) it plays it smoothly. Even VLC 1.1.12 plays it smoothly.
Is it me or is Quicktime X not as good as VLC for HD video? Quicktime 7 Pro has the same jerky performance.
I have a Mac Pro 2x2.66 Ghz (10.7.3) with 16 GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB + 30" ACD
By VLC playing it smoothly would it be a correct conclusion that my machine should be capable of playing back this video smoothly?

Playing movies using VLC on external display

My Macbook Pro is connected to my TV through the DVI port. There is a side-by-side arrangement, not mirror displays. Everything is working perfectly, sound and video.
Sometimes I try to use VLC to play a movie on the TV screen, while I do work on my Macbook screen. Many times it will easily work, no problem. But sometimes, when the movie opens up I cannot get it to move into the external screen. But ONLY the VLC movie will have this problem (sometimes iTunes too). All other applications will move into the external screen fine, but the VLC movie will not go past the boundary of my Macbook screen.
I am using VLC as opposed to other applications because some of the movie files can only be recognized by VLC.
Please help! I'm sure there is a Preferences option that can correct this seeing that sometimes it works fine.

I assume you specified the screen in vlc's video preferences and that screen is enabled when you play the video. I'm guessing it's probably a bug (yet another bug) in vlc 2.x which I also assume you are using. I long since gave up on vlc 2.x and stuck with vlc 1.1.12 which never has problems selecting my desired screen for full screen display (my TV).
I suggest you look at and possibly post this problem to the vlc mac forum.

Using VLC media player from iTunes

Is there any way to set VLC as my default video player in iTunes instead of Quicktime? I much prefer using VLC to watch videos, but I like the organization of the iTunes library. I'd love it if it was possible to have VLC automatically open whenever I double-click on a video file in my iTunes library.

iTunes is set up to play videos in iTunes. It does not have an option to choose an external player. If you want to use an external player, you can control-click on the video, choose "Show song File", control-click on the file, and then choose VLC Player. Or, you can change the default app of the videos by highlighting a video in Finder, pressing Command-I to get the Get Info Box, changing "Open With" to VLC Player and clicking on "Change All". now you can go to the file in the Finder, double click on it, and it will open in VLC Player. Note that any video purchased through the iTunes Music Store can only be played in iTunes because they are copy-protected files.

PSE would freeze every time I use the brush tool !

Hello guys, my name is Abdulrahman and this is the first time I post so please, take it easy on me. I used photoshop elements and premier 12 for about a year now and everything has been working fine. I haven't actually used PSE for a long time (probably since April) and I opened it 3 days ago trying to use the brush tool, but it would freeze. The cursor would stay as the brush icon no matter where I point it and it would not click anything, I have to force quite the application as it says '(application not responding)" next to it. I looked for help online, I updated PSE as well as my operating system (I work on a Mac by the way), I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, and I also tried re-creating the preferences file, however nothing worked. Every other tool works fine, it is probably just the brush tool it has problems working with.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem that you have been facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to use wildcards to match cell contents in an if statement?

I need to return a ID along with some other information on a page by page basis, so that the information comes out linked by position. I use a couple of loops and if statements to navigate through the document. I am able to use exact matches of cell contents which is fine when the contents doesn't vary. But the IDs, though they have a similar pattern, are all different. In a menu driven search, I am able to find what I need with '150^9^9^9^9^9-^9^9^9' But when I try putting this (or any number of [0-9], *, ? combinations) it fails. Is it possible to use wildcards? The symbol used for the match (==) makes me suspect that it is not possible and that only literal, exact matches will work. But I wanted to check with the experts before giving up.
Thanks
pcbaz

Thanks for the input. You're right, a GREP search is much more efficient. But what I'm trying to do and the circumstances here don't allow me, I think, to go that route. I am trying to generate a list of values coming from several textframes on a single page and have them come out so that I can tell which values belong together.
I'm using an inherited document with masters that were created 'manually'; the index numbering for textframes and tables is random. I navigate through the pages, looping through textframe indices asking ' does this textframe exist?' If so, I ask if it is a table -- if no, it is a simple textframe and I ask about the ID, if yes, I ask if the contents of cell (0,0) (invariant position and contents) are equal to the table I want.. I am sending the ID and other pieces of information from the table to one row of a new table on a new page. So the ID and other information from a single page are linked by being in the same row.
I know this a little 'off-normal' -- I'm using the search to navigate through the document and find things by location the way you do with a spreadsheet. I have devised a work-around that helps me get around the fact that the ID is not invariant. I create a list of the (exact) IDs from another document, equating them to a variable ('a'). I then loop through the list of IDs and ask if the contents of the textframe is equal to 'a'..This works o.k, unless there happens to be an extra space, a different kind of hyphen, etc. It would be so much easier if I could use the wildcards that work in a menu-driven text or GREP search in script just to ask about the contents of the textframe.
Thanks again
pcbaz (Peter BIerly)
P.S. we have since rewritten the masters so this problem will not exist in the future -- we now know exactly which textframe and/or table indices to refer to to get any particular bits of information and don't need to ask questions about the contents.

Is it possible to use a cable with two headphone jacks on either end and an electric guitar adapter to record in Garageband?

Hey everyone,
I got my Macbook Air (Mid 2013 model) last month and I want to record my acoustic-electric guitar on Garageband (which came with the Air).
I don't want to buy a guitar that has a USB. I have a cable with a 3.5 mm headphone jack on both ends like the one pictured here on this website http://www.bestdealaz.com/item.php?id=628 (i didn't buy it from this site though).
I connected a 6.3 mm guitar adapter (http://www.ebay.com/bhp/headphone-guitar-adapter) to this cable. Then I connected one end of the cable to my guitar and the other end to the Headphone/Microphone jack on the left side of the MBA.
I saw how other people were saying to go to System Preferences / Sound and then change audio output to audio input.
I can't do that. I tried.
Please help!
Thank you.

Hello Massimo Pascucci,
The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 running 10.8.4? Tried mini display to VGA cable

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop? Would like to use larger screen when working at home. I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work. When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer. What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible? Any assistance would be appreciated.

11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

Is it possible to use backup files previously copied to an external hard drive to backup an iPhone?

My sister froze her iPhone by trying to turn it off during a software update (not sure why) and restored it because she thought it would fix it. Unfortunately she unintentionally deleted all of her data and settings. She doesn't use iCloud, so I'm assuming all her files are backed up to her computer when she syncs her iPhone, but using iTunes I can only find two backup points using Edit>Preferences>Devices, both in the past few minutes. I know that each sync overrides the last backup files instead of creating newer ones, so apparently older backup files from her computer can't be used to recover her data. However, we both periodically use an external hard drive to back up our computers by basically dragging and dropping our files onto it, so there is an earlier version of her User folder on the external hard drive. It would definitely be preferable to use the backup files from a few months ago that are on the external hard drive and lose a few photos than to lose years of data, so would it be possible to direct iTunes to those backup files (AppData etc) instead of the ones saved on her computer hard drive? There's not any kind of browse option I can see that could allow me to get iTunes to search for backup files on the external hard drive and I'm not computer savvy enough to manually find the files and connect them to iTunes. Is it even possible to use backup files from an external hard drive? Do I have to replace the ones that exist on her computer now?

Garageband can't use VST plugins.
If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
       Internal users
               |
               443
                  |
          Internal LB
        192.168.0.20
        443         443
          |               |
   Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
          |               |
      4443        4443
          External LB
       Public IP Address
                 |
              443
                 |
       External Users
This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
is the keyword here.
After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
For reference, my commands are:
Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
(This completes successfully)
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
(This fails)
The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
LocalPort : 4443
Name : HTTPS-Ext
Port : 443
Protocol : tcp
Vip :
ProbePath :
ProbePort : 4443
ProbeProtocol : tcp
ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
EnableDirectServerReturn : False
Acl : {}
InternalLoadBalancerName :
IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
LoadBalancerDistribution :
The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?
