Quality Output with Vlog it!

1. Does vlog it! produce quality output I could import into premiere elements?
2. I want to produce teaching videos and I after using the trial versions I am having a hard time deciding if I should use Visual Communicator® 3 or Premiere elements with vlog it. Can someone give me some advise on this?

I bopught Vlogit when it first came out as a stopgap measure until VC2.5 Studio came out. Vlogit is somewhat limited in the output area. VC3 is much more full featured including the same keyer engine that Ultra has. Of course, VC3.0 is more expensive but comparing the 2 is like comparing a Ford Taurus to Cadillac Esplanade.

Can Flex make a Design Tool with a quality output file?

Hi there,
I have a team of developers working on a web-based design tool for a large-format print shop. They built the prototype on a Flex platform and used ImageMagick to handle text and image effects.
Unfortunately, ImageMagick cannot produce the quality of output file we need for our products (prints up to 3 ft by 6 ft / 1m x 2m). It rasterizes all of the design objects, including text and vector clipart.
Is it possible for Flex to handle all of these elements (object rotation, scale changes, etc.) and output a final design to high quality PDF or AI files without ImageMagick?
I'm just not sure if my developers are missing something or if they're just not communicating the technical challenges involved in creating such large, high quality output files for a custom, web-based application.
Many thanks in advance for any insight!

I'm still not sure I understand what you need. Sounds like the image map is the same for all the pages, but the image itself is different, although the images are the same size on each page. Is that it?
In that case, you could do this in a number of ways, but the best might be -
Make the page have a transparent PNG/GIF image the same size as the map that has the 5 mapped areas defined on it. Make the container for that image have a CSS BACKGROUND image that is the actual map. Specify this CSS background image's path in an embedded stylesheet in the editable region of the head of the page.
With this as the template, all you need to do on each page is to respecify the background image - since the embedded stylesheet is in an editable region that's do-able. In other words the TEMPLATE would be -
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<div id="foo">
     <img width="map_width" height="map_height" src="transparent.png" usemap="#foomap">
<map name="foomap">
</map>
</body>
</html>
The map image can, itself, be in an uneditable region of the page....

Quality issues with VGA port on Type 2504 docking station

Hi,
I see quality issues on the VGA output of the Type 2504 docking station with a T61. The monitor image is blurred, not much, but enough to be irritating. When I compare the DVI output with the VGA output on two equal NEC MultiSync LCD 2170NX monitors it is a clear difference. If I connect the LCD monitor to the VGA output of the T61 itself, the picture is clean. I have tried both monitors with different cables in different configurations and also adjusted monitors manually, and my conclusion is that it must be the VGA output of the 2504 that generates the un-sharpness. I have got several 2504 docking stations from the IT department to test and all attempts show the same unsharp picture on the LCD connected to the VGA port of any 2504. Recently a colleague got a new laptop and docking station. He also used DVI and VGA on the old setup and had no visible difference between the two monitors. His new setup is a different T but his new dock is also a 2504. Now he has clear difference between his monitors. He also tried several 2540 docks and cables but the difference is still present.
The unsharpness is not immediately present when just looking at a dual head setup. But after a while it becomes tiresome to look at text, specially black on white, on the monitor connected to the VGA port. There is a slight shadow on the right side of all letters. When looking at non-aliased fonts, they look as if aliased on the VGA connected monitor. Already aliased fonts tend to "smear" and I have the unpleasant feeling that my eyes are not focusing correctly.
My question is: Is there a different VGA DAC on the docking station, or are the analog signals just wired through from the laptop VGA DAC? Older IBM docks do not have this problem, we have a lot of them at work in dual head configuration with DVI + VGA to compare, and we only see this problem with the 2504.

VGA is an analogue signal... so it can be affected by the quality of DAC chip used by the GPU associated electronics, the quality of connectors on the vga out and dock (that is why good analgoue audio equipment use gold plated stuffs) and the quality of copper wire and shiedling used in the cable (i.e. Low Oxygen Content Copper wire).
The above is general description for all people to use <---- so please don't feel offended if i repeat something that is already said.
There is NO conversion electronics on the dock per se, they are just passthrough, so no conversion.
I guess the problem lies with improper shielding somewhere. I have the same problem with my T61/60 and dock and my T40,41,42,43 on five different docks.
So i have ended up using lenovo usb2dvi converter on T61 and have two dvi output and bypassed the vga altogether.

My clips have a yellow line on the timeline sequence. Does this affect my video quality output if I don't render?

I use Adobe CS 6 to edit and I use Sony NX 3 to record. Every time I import my clips. It has a yellow line on the timeline sequence, even when I make new clip from the sequence.. My question is, does this affect my video quality output if i did not render the yellow line out? Please someone help me

Please see this link for more info about red and yellow bars - http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html
If you shoot 1080p, you will likely have better results going to DVD than if you start with 1080i. It's hard enough downscaling with decent quality, then if you add in interlacing issues...
When exporting from Premiere to create a DVD, choose "MPEG-2 DVD" as the format, and then choose a preset such as "NTSC Widescreen Progressive".
There is a checkbox at bottom of export window for "Max Render Quality" - use that for best downscaling results.
Use 2-Pass VBR encoding. Use a bitrate calculator to determine best bitrate for length of movie, or quick option is 560/minutes = bitrate. But don't exceed 8.0 on shorter movies. I typically round down a little for safety margin, such as 560/120 = 4.6, encode at 4.5 and no worries.
The export will result in TWO files, .m2v video and .wav audio, import both into Encore for authoring. Encore will convert the .wav to Dolby AC3, reducing file size. Video should NOT get transcoded. And as others said, don't expect HD quality when viewing a DVD...definitely not HD video any longer. But do be sure to use an upscaling player, this makes all the difference. If you run a yellow composite cable from DVD to TV, it will look horrible. Use HDMI with upscaling DVD/Blu-ray player for improved result.
Good luck

Basic questions about high-quality output and PDFs

I do volunteer work in a non-profit that interfaces with local county government. We've been discussing a project to produce an atlas-type information as a service to the residents. The maps would be rendered by the GIS software the county uses (ESRI's Arc suite). The question is what file format should we ask for given the high-quality print and plot output we have in mind and our desire to add some simple vector markup in some cases to the maps. The markup, when used, would be simple circles, rectangles, arrows or text.
Our idea is the do most of the printing and plotting ourselves (we'd use something like a local Kinkos). This allows is to control paper sizes. In addition, we might want to crop the map and upscale a bit so we need to be careful of data density (dpi). The question is what file format do we request from the county?
Obviously we can ask for PDFs but, as a novice with that output, I don't fully understand 1) its Tools capability (but I am learning about it) and 2) how to control data density.
Since I think its best to envision a PDF as a "box" for other data, is the quality of the output going to be determined by the data density of the object inside the PDF?
I know I may not be very clear so please help me get clear on the question if I haven't expressed it well here.
BTW, I know I can place a PDF into an AI object and then add the vector stuff if needed, but I don't know from a workflow perspective if that's the best way to assure hight quality output.
Thanks
Tom
P.S. We may end up with GIS viewing software as we move forward (ESRI has a grant program for non-profits). All this would mean would be we would be the ones making the decision about output format but the question on workflow would still remain.

4. Finally, with CDs burned this way through iTunes, does iTunes place some sort of DRM on the burned CDs? If so, what practical effect does that DRM have on my burned CD (how does it limit the functionality of the CD?
No, so no limits to functionality.

Poor Quality DVD with AVCHD input

Hi all:
I did not find this addressed on the iDVD pages or this page. I have imported AVCHD format video of my son's soccer game. Used iMovie08 7.1.1 to edit it. I was shooting in sports mode. It looks great connected directly to the TV.
After rendering the movie (takes forever!) and burning a DVD, the quality output on my 50 inch tv is horrible. I tried using Xbox, the older PS2 and an built in older DVD player. The quality was poor especially when tracking the ball and the players (panning) across the field. I shot in wide format and burned in that format. Am I missing something?
Is there something I can do? I spent all this money on the Canon HF10 and would really like to see it and share it! Also, is there a faster way to import besides the USB port? I know...a computer upgrade is also in my future.
Thanks in advance.

HEY, AM I READING THIS RIGHT, (yeah I'm shouting)
Your telling us you know how to use im08 and iDVD in some way that (apparently) no-one else knows but you won't share it, at the same time as advertising your book in your signature. I think you should be reading the terms and conditions of the forum here.
Oh and by the way, while the video in the linked clips is indeed crisp and clear it stutters like a nervous old man with Parkinsons, not sure if the clips are yours but have to wonder if your books merely tell us how to make less than acceptable video.

Serious quality loss with MTS files and iMovie '11

Hello,
I have some issues with my brand new Panasonic HDC SD700 (a full HD camera)
I experience serious quality loss when I use iMovie to create a movie.
I did some tests, but still puzzled int this world of codecs and formats.
Maybe some of you can help.
I have made a short shot of 450 sec with highest mode (1080p 24fps)
It show is finder as a .MTS file size 99MB, I'm very happy with the quality when I play this with VLC.
iMovie turns this file into a .mov file with 635MB size, in Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM, Timecode. This quality is already poor compared to original MTS file.
No wonder that the output file (select 1080p H.264 codecs) results also in unacceptable quality.
I'm running latest imOvie version with all updates etc.
I have no idea were to look to solve this issue. It is quite annoying since I have invested in a top Cam recorder. Not sure is Final cut express will sure the issue either.....

I have made a short shot of 450 sec with highest mode (1080p 24fps)
Have you tried shooting at the PAL standard of 25fps? I checked the specs for your Panasonic but didn't see any mention of a 24fps mode, but most reviews seem to miss mentioning the shooting modes. If you did indeed shoot at 24fps, did you choose this frame rate when importing to iMovie '11?
I export as 1080p (same as original. My output is a bit blurry and colors are a bit pale.
Did you use the 1080p preset under Share to Media Browser, or Export using QuickTime? If the latter, be sure to select an appropriate data rate - if set too low this may result in poor quality output.
And yes you are right I'm using IMovie '11, quite confusing that '11 means version 9.0
Yes - very confusing! In the forums, iMovie versions are generally referred to by their year number, not version number. It's a pity that we have version 9.0 (iMovie '11) and iMovie '09.
Glad you liked the video - it looked very clear on YouTube at 1080p Full Screen, at least to my ageing eyes!

Excel output (with graphics)

Hello,
I am using Oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version.
We need to generate oracle reports in Excel format ("real" Excel, not delimited text) with tabular data and
also graphics.
I used desformat=spreasheet. But is is giving only one worksheet.
I've found the "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports"
demo but the Excel template in the demo is very simple and doesn't have graphics.
Then I've found the following:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/excel_output/result/excel.jpg
a) The above site has excel output with multiple worksheets.
which is similar to what we need but I wasn't able to find related source (excel_emp.jsp).
b) Using jsp if we can ahieve multiple worksheets with grapahics, please provide us examples.
c) http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html --This site is not working to find the demo.
Could you please help me in this?
Thank you for any help.

carla,
the example you mentioned uses the JSP web source that is only available in oracle9i reports.
in theory you can create any excel output. it is just a matter of creating the template and then adding the reports tags to populate it with data.
you could then use reports' URL engine to produce files from this output.
there are certainly ways to do it, but they are only available in oracle9i reports (9.0.2 and higher)

philipp

Is it possible to create a Webservice in BI which takes XML as an input and gives PDF as output with an additional requirement that Siebel expecting the XSD from BI to send data in the BI requested format

Is it possible to create a Webservice in BI which takes XML as an input and gives PDF as output with an additional requirement that Siebel expecting the XSD from BI to send data in the BI requested format. Siebel wants to send the data as xml to BI but not sure of the BI capabilities on giving WSDL embedded with XSD (input is a hierarchical)

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

Digital Output With Timer (Simulation)

Hello everyone, I just learned how to make LabVIEW program a week ago. I try to make a simulation of Digital Output by LabVIEW (my attachment). In this simulation I have a slider as an input (0-10 V), two numeric control (upper limit and bottom limit), a waveform chart that plot those 3 value, and two boolean LED (P0.0 and P0.1) as an indicator. In this simulation you can fill any number (between 0-10) in the numeric control as a limit for your slider input. If the input from a slider exceed those upper and bottom limit then the boolean LED will turn on, P0.0 if exceed upper limit and P0.1 if exceed bottom limit. The problem is I don't know how to make timer for those boolean LED. As example:
1) Make an input from slider,
2) If input (1) exceed the upper limit,P0.0 will turn on for 5 second,then turn of for 10 second,
3) If in that 10 second you change the input back to normal (between upper and bottom limit) then P0.0 will stay turn of until the input from slider exceed the upper limit again,
4)If in that 10 second you didn't change the input (stay exceed the upper limit) then P0.0 will repeat the process (2) until you the input from slider back to normal.
(Same process for input that exceed the bottom limit).
Can you help me to make this timer? Thank You (I'm sorry I made a double post):newbie

Digital Output With Timer.vi ‏16 KB

Hello Juventom,
As I understand it you want to be continuously checking the value of the sliding bar and comparing that to the upper and lower limit controls whilest also chaning the LED booleans to true for 5 seconds then false for 10 seconds if the sliding bar value is outside of the limits.
To do this you would probably be best using a parallel loop design, where you have 3 while loops in place of the one you have currently. Each one of these while loops would be responsible for a part of your program (e.g. the top one would display your values on the graph and the second one who check the sliding bar value against the upper limit and then turn on the LED, etc)
I've found this tutorial about multiple loop programs and I think you should look at the section entitled "Parallel Execution"
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3749
This way you can use normal delay VIs but when they run they only pause that loop rather than the whole program.
Please let me know how you get on with this, and ask me if you need further help.

PDF Output with javadoc

Somebody once asked how to create PDF output with javadoc, so here's some work in progress:
I am currently creating a PDF doclet which creates directly PDF output from javadoc. It's still in alpha stage, because it does not yet create an index or navigation frame (which is mandatory for the PDF to be useful), and most HTML tags are not yet interpreted. But that's gonna improve over the next few weeks.

javadoc -doclet com.tarsec.javadoc.pdfdoclet.PDFDoclet -docletpath d:\For_PDF_Doc\itext-0.92.jar;d:\For_PDF_Doc\pdfdoclet.jar *.java

How to replace a "notfound" output with a null value?

hi,
I'm just getting a output of "Rows Notfound" for a script..
instead of this , i just need to show the output with a record as null value or some value..
do we have any option to use this in oracle..

Apart from capturing with an exception in PL/SQL code, if you're wanting something in a script as pure SQL, you'd have to generate an additional row and only select that where no data is found e.g...
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select ename from emp where ename = 'FRED'
2 union all
3* select 'No Data' from dual where not exists (select * from emp where ename = 'FRED')
SQL> /
ENAME
No Data
SQL>Of course this does effectively double-up on the queries being executed, so if you're dealing with a heavily complex query, it may be best just just have the regular exception come out, but then this will also depend on your actual requirements and why you want to do this in the first place.

Formatted HTML output with Spry regions - is it possible?

I have recently begun using the XML export extension in
conjunction with an Access database to output dynamic data into a
page with a Spry master/detail setup. So far, my simple example is
going great, but I've run into a snag that I need some help with.
To explain what I'm doing - it's a simple article page with
the list of articles on the left with the title and date and the
article title and full contents on the right hand side. So far it's
all working very well, updating in real time when I click an
article title on the left. The problem is the output with this one
field which stores not only text, but also HTML formatting that is
generated by a wysiwyg editor used on the article creation side of
this little app. This HTML formatted content is the article body
and is stored in a field named the same - "body". With traditional
ASP, the HTML formatting displays as expected and all is well, but
with Spry, it doesn't output formatted HTML, but instead shows the
content and HTML code together as text. How can I get this one
field ("body") to be output so all the HTML formatting is shown?
This is my simple page example. Click through and you'll see
what I mean.
http://www.shoestodyefor.com/ajax.asp
Here's the section of code in question regarding the output
on that right hand panel where the body is displayed for each
article:
<div spry:detailregion="ds1">
{title}<br />
{entryDate}<br />
<br />
{body}
/div>
Is it possible to have that {body} section shown so the
dynamically created HTML code from the wysiwyg editor is displayed
correctly?

The version of Spry that ships with Dreamweaver CS3 (Spry
1.4) doesn't
support the type of output created by the XML Export
extension.
This issue has been corrected in Spry 1.5, but no plans have
been made
public for integrating Spry 1.5 into Dreamweaver CS3. You
would need to
download Spry 1.5 from
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/.

Poor quality DVDs with DVDPro

I have recently purchased FCP studio, I'm struggling to get the same quality DVDs with DVDP4. From FCP the QT file looks great, once burned to DVD certain parts of the video look terrible. I'm compiling multiple videos for one program. Some videos are mpeg2 files, others are QT files. Two of the mpeg files look great and I've used them to make DVDs on DVDP2 without any issues, put with DVDP4 they look awful. I've even tried making a FCP file with all the videos, sending QT file to compressor and then to DVDP, but it still looks terrible. Any ideas?

Catherine
Try exporting directly from FCP timeline through Compressor using the 90 min high Quality BUT using CBR (Constant Bitrate):
If you want to save time, try exporting just some seconds of the problematic footage (using IN/OUT points) and play the MPEG2 file to check yu are getting better results.
Hope that helps !
