Query about "enable" and output rendering

Hi - I'm working on what I hope is the penultimate cut of a filmed stage musical. It's a combination of footage from three camera angles over 2 performances. I've allocated a video track to each camera, and I'm using opacity changes to switch from one angle to another, e.g. to switch from one "over-the-shoulder" view to the other, or from a close-up on one performer to a medium wide of the chorus, and so on.
Except for transitions I'm only using footage from one camera at a time (no split-screen), but the footage from all the cameras is still present in their own tracks. I've changed my mind about one angle vs. another in previous cuts and I want to leave all the footage there because I might make a different choice after feedback from the customer.
This does put a bit of a load on PPro when having to render output, with roughly two-thirds of the footage not even required in the output - it's still there, but with opacity set to 0%. If I de-select "Enable" in the clip properties for those clips I've chosen not to use in this cut, does that tell PPro to ignore it when rendering output, and consequently reduce the rendering workload? It might seem obvious, but I'd like to be sure before I start disabling hundreds of clips.
PPro 5.5.2
Win 7 Pro SP1
Core i5
8GB RAM
c: - 100GB - OS + programs
i: - 500GB - media
n: - 500GB - renders, etc

OK - thanks. Maybe I'll try one output with all clips enabled, then another with clips disabled, and compare the results.

About Busses and Output ???

I am having one of those dumbhead evenings... suddenly, I am confused about using a Bus and setting the Output.
I setup a Bus for reverb and activated a Send to it. Do I set my I/O to "No Output" or do I keep it at "Output 1-2"? The Bus is going to "Output 1-2" also.
Does the Bus in this case only sending the reverb to Output?

Hi
in Logic 8 there are no trason to use Busses...
you just use Auxiliary channel that can be setted as:
INPUT = Bus
OUT = everything you need to routing...
if you want select 1-2 the reverber will goes in the MIX... if you don't select Output *you never will be able to listen the Reverb return*
The Logic Mixer is very similar to a Hardware Mixer...
Using Auxiliary Channel for buss EFECTS is the best way... you can also use the Aux sends for adding Special FX... I.E. a Delay on AUX-Bus can be use its sends for revrberating the Delay!

Obviously confused about input and output resolutions

I have a screen recording (using iShowU HD Pro). Here's the info of that file:
Dimensions: 1024x812
Codecs: Apple Intermediate Codec
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration 2:07 Total bit Rate: 19,498
I import the file to FCE and place it on the timeline, and then export using QuickTime Conversion:
I pick format QuickTIme Movie: and then inside the "Options"
Compression: H.264
Quality: High
Key frame Rate: 25
Frame recordering: yes
Encoding mode: Multi-pass
Dimensions 1024X812
After the export, the info on the new file is this:
Dimensions: 1024-812
Codecs: linear PCM, H.264
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration: 2:07
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,338
Yet the screen cast is distorted there are black bars on each side of the movie, with the result being that the image is "squished"
Obviously I'm missing a setting somewhere. How do I get my output to have the same shape as my input?

That frame size is nonstandard and isn't supported for editing within FCE. You should first use the free MPEG Streamclip to convert to a frame size that the program supports such as 1280x720. Then export as 1280x720 or another 16:9 frame size.

Need help in framing an SQL query - Sample data and output required is mentioned.

Sample data :

B1 c d

create table #t (id int, region char(1),state char(2))
insert into #t values (1,'a','a1'),(2,'b','a1'),(3,'c','b1'),(4,'d','b1')
select state,
max(case when region in ('a','c') then region end) region1,
max(case when region in ('b','d') then region end) region2

Question about Java and XML rendering for Word 97 upwards.

Without using the apache POI library, and by sticking to non-pay products,
is it possible to use java or XSLT/XML to turn
an xml formatted file into a
Microsoft Word/Excell/PDF file within one framework?

Look into Apache FOP. But be warned: it will most likely use POI to do any excel conversions. That's how (sane) software development works: you don't reinvent the wheel, you effectively reuse what is already there.

Query about event and event handling

hi,
how exactly events are bieng generated. And how they are transmitted and how they
are caught and handled at low level. I want to trigger my own event whcih can be listen
by my own listener or some existing listener (obviously implemented from some java listener).
so help me out.
TIA
bhups

Well, first you create an interface such as FooListener where you define methods, such as foo().
Now you can make classes that have the method addFooListener(FooListener foo). Then in that class, you can for example decide that doing a certain thing (or based on the time of day or whatever) the class calls all the foo()'s of it's FooListeners and there you go.
Example code:
public interface FooListener {
    public void foo(FooEvent evt);
public class FooEvent {
   private String reason;
   public FooEvent(String reason) {
       this.reason = reason;
   public String getReason() {
      return reason;
public class Bar {
    List listeners = new LinkedList();
    public void addFooListener(FooListener foo) {
        listeners.add(foo);
    protected void fireFooEvent(String reason) {
       Iterator itr = listeners.iterator();
       FooEvent evt = new FooEvent(reason);
       while(itr.hasNext())
          ((FooListener)itr.next()).foo(evt);
    public void doBar() {
        // code omitted
        fireFooEvent("Bar done");
}Howzat?

Making a counter with enable and reset

Hi.
First of all, I looked online for this solultion and no success.
What I am trying to do is have a counter with enable and reset.
1. Increment from 0 to 5 everytime true boolean is received. Q, the output should then be 1
2. If boolean false is received, Q should be 0
3. Once the count reaches 5, reset the counter to 0 and repeat.
4. Step 1-3 only happens when enable is true. Anytime enable is false, the process is stopped.
Please help!

This is something called an Action Engine, closely related to "Functional Global Variables" (FGV) or "VI Globals" (VIG). Basically, you have a While Loop with one or more Shift Registers acting as "memory" and an "Action" input (typically a Boolean or an Enum) that says what the Action should be.
As you posed your problem, I'm unsure if you require one Boolean (Enable/Disable) or two (Enable/Disable and "Count"). This is a situation where having an Enum input and more "Actions" might be appropriate. For example:
Load Save the Max Count (5 in your example) in a Shift Register
Reset Set the internal Count to 0
Enable Allow Count Action to proceed
Disable Don't allow Count Action to proceed
Count Increment counter if "enabled", and output current count
Each time you call this VI (did I say that this should be written as a sub-VI, with inputs Action and Max Count, and output Current Count?), depending on the Action you wire in, you will either perform "setup" actions (Load, Reset, Enable, Disable) or "Counting" actions (Count). Note that it is easy to modify it so that if the Counter is disabled (ooh, that's a good name for this sub-VI, "Counter", has a mnemonic ring to it), the output is, say, -1, "Not a Count", instead of (as I described it above) the last Count while Enabled.
Action Engines (and similar constructs, where there's a While loop with "True" wired to the Stop terminal, useful as a "memory" unit) are pretty common in LabVIEW. More accomplished LabVIEW users might also accomplish this with a Feedback loop, but I find that the "Do Once" loop shown above is easier for me to recognize and understand.

Image and font rendering

Hi all:
I have some questions about font and image rendering in
flash. At time, the images Im using on my application are in png
format, I have noticed that my swf is not very big in size(about
140Ks), however, when I load it, the memory used increases
amazingly (nearly 2MB), whats the policy of compressing and
uncompressing of png images?.
Also, some attached images are a bit decreased on width, is
that caused by the image renderer of flash player?
The fonts displayed (when I use font including glyphs) are
displayed a little bit blurry too.
Any advice about the configuration of fonts or imported
images?.
Regards

Assuming you are using s60 and checking memory on the phone,
I believe the standalone will grab memory from the device once it
starts running. So, the 2mb is probably Flash Lite occupying its
maximum allowed memory, and maybe not particular to your SWF. You
can test this by loading another swf of different size and checking
memory.
Make sure that x,y coordinates of images and fonts are on
whole number values , not decimals. Also make sure the text box
size is whole number value. Font blurriness maybe from Flash
anti-aliasing. Have you tried to display your text without
anti-alias. Are you using a mask over device fonts? (flash will
embed a font in this case and not use device font).

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.

I am trying to export a movie through imovie using the share function, but each time imovie seizes up and stops working about halfway through the rendering process and I can't proceed and have to turn off the computer. Can this be fixed?

I am using iMovie and can't seem to complete a render of a completed project through the sharing/media browser. Trying to create a medium size movie that I can then access in iDVD to burn a DVD.
But each time I try, iMovie quits on me about halfway through the rendering process.
I have successfully used media browser to create other movies, but now it doesn't work.
Anybody know of any fixes or troubleshooting?
Thanks.

When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Info about setting enable and username secret lev.5 passwords

Hi,
it's the first time I write on this forum, so I hope it's the right section for my question... I need to replace the enable and username XXX level 7 passwords (defined with enable password PPP and username xxx password PPP commands) on a lot of devices and I'll do it through an automated script that will send commands to these devices.. Since I would avoid to send the password in cleartext with enable secret PPP or username xxx secret PPP, I'd like to execute the commands on a test router and then directly send the level 5 encrypted password to the other routers (i.e. enable secret 5 hash-of-PPP and username xxx secret 5 hash-of-PPP). Since I know that the hashed value contains a salt that is used in some way to compute the hash value of a password, I wonder if a given level 5 enable or username password can work on all the IOS versions and router models that we have.. have you ever experienced some problems regarding the copy-and-paste of already-encrypted passwords?
I know that this could lead to problems with level 7 passwords used for radius authentications (one of my colleagues experienced problems after a copy-and-paste of a password that did not work until he re-wrote the authentication command with the clear-text password, forcing the router to compute the level 7 password by itself), but I don't know if it was a bug of IOS and maybe only related to level 7 passwords..
Thank you in advance for any help.
