Quality issues for public service commercial

I work for a college at a University and I have a commercial script that we want to produce into a public service commercial. I am worried about quality. Currently I work with a Canon GL2 mini-DV
Can anyone tell me how far away I am from commercial-like quality. I am somewhat of a novice and would like to be able to move up to a really nice system.

Quality is a very subjective term ... it all depends on who the broadcasters will be. For example, some broadcasters may not accept MiniDV while others may. You need to find out what each broadcaster requires and work from there.
If you want better than DV quality (and better than GL2 quality), consider moving up to at least DVCProHD.

  • Adobe Media Encoder Quality Issues  for 4:3 FLV Files

    I am working in a 480x360 window for a FLV file. Whether I export a 60 minute presentation or a 10 second pre-roll FLV file, the rendered file quality is distorted and poor. I have done the same work in CS3, but as I changed computers, the CS4 was installed.
    With the video presentation, orginally capturing the video is set as .9 Pixel Aspect Ration, but interpreting the footage to 1.0 is also an issue.
    The quality of video that is being produced is much worse then CS3 and unuseable in most cases.
    Frame Dimensions: 480x360
    Frame Rate: Same as source. (29.97)
    Endoding: CBR
    Passes: 2
    Bitrate: 500
    Audio: Mono / 48

    A couple things:
    1) VP6 and H.264 are codecs that operate in "mod16". What that means is that they begin by dividing a video image into 16x16 blocks, followed by 8x8, 8x4, and 4x4 blocks. This makes for a more efficient encode. Your 240 dimension is fine (240 / 16 = 15), but the 515 dimension could be slightly problematic (515 / 16 = 32.1875). The codec will stretch or compress the image to fit into that dimension, and so can result in a lower quality encode. If you can, try encoding at 512x240, by cropping a couple pixels in the horizontal dimension. May not make a big difference, but it's good practice with these codecs.
    2) To me, your original encode looks like the product of Adobe's less-that-capable deinterlacing scheme. You're dealing with progressive assets and a progressive target. I'd submit that the reason your 1280x720 encode looks better is that you're using a progressive preset, with no deinterlacing necessary when exporting. One thing you could check is the field order of your original sequence setup--if it's interlaced, I'd say you have your answer. If it's progressive--well, then I'm wrong :) However, you didn't explicitly say this in your original post, but it's worth a look.
    If it is interlaced, I don't think you can change that after the sequence is started, so just create a new sequence with the proper progressive settings, and copy and paste the original sequence contents into that one. Now, when you export, there will be no need for deinterlacing.
    Anyway, that's my guess...

  • Billing Issue for CRM Service Order

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a question regarding the BPP C69 which is a complete scenario of Service Management. I did complete the config guide C26 which is a pre-req.
    I created service quotation, Service order, and Techinician confirmed that service order. In step 4.7 in C69 says that in ECC, I can see the corresponding document in billing due list through VF04 transaction...I executed but I am not able to see any transactions. But I checked in ECC, using T Code IAOMC and I am able to see all the documents which I created.
    And I checked the item categories in CRM and they are set for External Billing which is through ECC. Can anybody tell what I am missing. Or is there anyway I can make this Billing work in ECC.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sharath.

    Hi Raj,
    Actually the issue, we'll have 3 kind of materials.
    1) Sales Material,
    2) Service Material
    3) Service Spare Material.
    When I did the config guides, they mapped 3 item categories in CRM but in ECC they mapped only for Sales Material. That's why my order which has only service material is not replicated as soon as I added a Sales material...it replicated.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Sharath.

     Dear Gurus,
    Thanks for your update. we checked as per your suggestion but the issue is PR is not determining the IO while creating the PR.
    We used the different item cat in quotation and service order system generating the PR, But our Clint want to use the same item cat in the both service order and quotation.
    If we created the quotation after that service order with the service line item and spare part line item system creating the IO (internal order) but PR not generating.
    Please help me in this scenario what should we do.

  • Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

    Good morning,
    I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
    Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
    SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
    giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
    After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
    I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
    I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
    thank you in advance
    Best regards
    Francesco

    Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above: 
    SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
    giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
    After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
    Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
    Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
    However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
    Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

  • Issue working with WPF client v6.1.0.3 for SAP Service Manager 4.0

    Hi All,
    This issue is similar to an on - going discussion -  http://scn.sap.com/thread/3508608
    Issue Description :
    1. We installed WPF client 6.1.03 for SAP Service Manager 4.0 using SMP 2.3 SP00. We got the below error
    2.  To solve this error we followed the forum - http://scn.sap.com/thread/3465106 and installed the certificate following the link for installing the self signed certificate from Sybase infocenter.
    3. We came to know that this is due to the SMP version. hence as suggested by SAP we upgraded the server to SMP 2.3 SP03
    4. We tried to connect the WPF client and again got the error "Communication error 14"
    My Question is
    1. After the server upgrade from SP2.3 SP03 , do I still need to generate a certificate again ? Is yes Please guide me the steps/document to do this step
    2. Is there any document which mentions how exactly we use the WPF client, the configuration  to connect the SAP backend and download the Syclo Service Manager 4.0 application without any issue
    Please guide
    Thanks
    Neha

    HI Steve,
    I tested with the WPF client 6.1.3.X.
    I was getting a different error with the host name "Connect to server  myhostname certificate is for myhostname:domain name this is not valid. Commnication error(14)
    However I got the solution in one of the link where they mention to provide the complete fully qualified domain name in the server ie myhostname:domain .
    This has solved the issue and the WPF client is up and running.
    Thanks for the help
    Regards

  • A Quality report as a tool for the Quality management of Web services

    Hi everybody,
    I would like to explain and discuss my current research project with you:
    The differentiation from competitors is crucial for the economic success of a product. This differentiation can be achieved in addition to price and the date of the market entry through the product quality. To differentiate the quality of products, it is necessary to distinguish between several relevant product characteristics, to determine their values, to evaluate these values and to relate this evaluation to the evaluation of other products. Techniques for the determination of the quality of a product are used in many areas of the quality management, e.g. in the quality assessment.
    Web Services are software systems supporting a machine-machine interaction over a network. Web services are often used as modules in different software architectures, especially in Service-oriented architectures (SOA).
    In the course of quality management of a Web service applied in software consequently needs appropriate procedures and quality models as means to determine the quality. As there is a lack, research is needed in this field.
    In order to eliminate the described deficit, a procedure is to develop that helps to determine the quality of a Web service. A report is conceivable which integrates all relevant views, all influences on the quality and all phases of the life cycle of a Web services.
    During the research a lot of similarities between Life cycle assessments of environmental management and the quality management have been identified. These similarities include e.g. principles, procedures and the terminology. Since the Life cycle assessments relate on the product life cycle, on the stakeholders and on all relevant product characteristics, an adaption of the method on the quality management of software seems to be promising.

    I would like to answer the following two research questions:
    - Is it possible to adapt the principles and procedures of Life cycle assessment and Sustainability reporting to the quality management of Web services?
    - Is a quality report based on these findings an appropriate tool for quality management?
    Do you have any experiences with the quality management of Web services? Which procedures do you use to determine the quality of Web services? How are your experiences with that procedures? Where are their weaknesses?

    Please let me know how to find the user status for a service issue.
    Thanks

  • The best platform for Data Services / Integrator / Quality

    Based upon the deployments of other customers, which combination of operating system and platform provides the most stable & reliable environment for Data Services / Data Integrator / Data Quality?

    Windows is the platform most commonly used, so bugs are fixed faster there.
    Unix is released usually a few months after the initial Windows version with all the fixes in it. Unix is commonly used by larger companies who would not accept any downtime.
    Keep in mind, there is no Unix codeline of the product, all is the same source code just compiled differently.

  • Overall processing status issue for sales order regarding services

    Hello,
    I have the following issue. I am billing a standard service (service without delivery) to a customer. The process goes ok, I issue an invoice, post it and generate an accounting document. Then I create a cancellation invoice. Now I want to reject my sales order. I assign reason for rejection to the item. The header and item status says it is u2018fully rejectedu2019, but the overall processing status says the sales order is u2018openu2019 and therefore appears in reports regarding open orders. I gave also a billing block, deleted the schedule line for the service so that the ordered quantity for the item equals to u20180u2019, but still the overall processing status of the order is u2018openu2019. This is standard SAP functionality (as I checked it). So can anyone explain me how to change this status to exclude this order from open order list? Or maybe someone may want to explain me why this is standard SAP process and what is the reason for the system to want to keep my order u2018openu2019?
    Thanks in advance,
    BR,|

    Place the reason for rejection in the status tab at item level, we are doing same, and the order lines does not show in open lines .
    Regards
