Quick interlace/progressive question

Not EXACTLY FCP related, but I know there's a lot of professionals out there who might be able to answer this:
I know there's been several threads about the difference in viewing on your computer monitor (progressive) and an NTSC monitor (interlaced). I was wondering, though, about HD monitors/TVs. Are all HD monitors/TVs progressive, or are there interlaced ones. I shoot 60i (on a Canon XL2, SD) and some of the videos are displayed on a Sanyo DP26746 "Integrated" HDTV. Now, the manual says that the scanning format is 720p (the only one listed). Not my choice in monitors (my boss bought it even though he knows I'm shooting SD). Now it just looks like I'm playing it on my computer monitor.
So here's my FCP-related question:
Anything I export (no matter what compression) will not look like "video" will it? I mean, look like it was taped before a live studio audience, not filmed...the way "The Cosby Show" looks versus "Cheers". Is this HDTV just a big computer monitor?
BTW, my friend has an HDTV at his house with digital cable, and the SD content on the local HD channels look pretty good (better than regular SD...obviously not HD quality, but better than over-the-air stuff). Why doesn't my SD stuff look a lot better on this Sanyo HDTV? Is it related to the progressive vs. interlaced situation?
And no, Shane and Jim, I'm not trying to convert progressive to interlaced in case you were going to bring up this post.
Thanks all. Sorry for the long post.
Jonathan

I think I posted this on the wrong forum...might try the Compressor forum. I guess I'm looking for the best way to export if I'm presenting on a progressive monitor.
Thanks though.

Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

Quick SAP Script question
I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

Hi,
To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
if &condition& = 'True'
/* NEW-PAGE
elseif
/: NEW-PAGE
endif
so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
Hope you got it...
Try this..
Best luck..
Regs,

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

JPEG image with interlacing / progression

Why is bug 4675817
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4675817.html
closed?
I'm using J2SDK1.4.2 and with JWS my application just quits when trying to display a JPEG image with interlacing / progression.

This is an infuriating bug; I couldn't believe how much time I wasted before I found the bugreports � by which time I was ready to hang, draw & quarter the guilty party (or the nearest sun employee).
The bug seemed closed against a similar bugreport, and this in turn has been closed against Tiger � which is 1.5 the next upcoming major release; which will probably happen next year now.

Quick start progressive download

I purchased the Elgat Turbo.264 hardware encoder to speed up encoding for podcasts/webcasts. The problem is that the files do not quick start progressive download. Is their a way of tweaking the quicktime file to be progressive without reencoding the whole file? I used Lillipot but does not completely resolve the issue

QuickTime Pro and Save As will restore fast start properties to any file that has lost them.
This will put the file into a .mov container so you may need to edit page code to point to this new file and upload it to replace any other extension.
No re-encoding and the .mov container will still work for Podcasts, iTunes and iPods.

Quick Interlacing Question?

Hi,
I just rendered some progressive .m2v's out of AE for DVD Studio Pro.
The video for my menu I see in the properties it was 720X480i. I don't know why, so I switched it to
720X480p.
I then added some of my .m2v's to tracks in my project. When I clicked on the track I also saw it was 720X480i. I went to switch those to progressive, but the 720X480p was greyed out in the resolution option for the tracks?
Is this going to make my footage look any different on a television?
Thanks

It looks fine on the tv though so I guess 720X480i doesnt matter? Is this common?

Quick CSS box question

Hi guys,
Firstly a very Merry Christmas to you all !
I'm just getting to grips with converting all the text on my
site to CSS and have a quick question.
On some of my pages I add an 'Also see' links box aligned to
the right - it's a CSS div tag thingy someone kindly talked me
through once. All of my pages are built from a template with an
editable region.
My question is, can I add this box (perhaps with a standard
'Also check out' title and then spaces for my links) at the
template level? This will save me having to go to Insert>Layout
Objects>DivTag on every page. I've tried simply adding this to
the editable region of the template but it simply pushed the
editable region box over to the right and then didn't appear on my
pages
Also, the links box would ideally appear about half way down
my pages on the right...
Hope you can help, many thanks in advance!
James
Here's an example page where I have manually added my link
box on the right of the page...
http://www.fyrne.com/james_journalism/Pages/Mosaic_of_the_med.html

Your CSS link implies that the CSS file is in the Templates
folder. You
shouldn't have anything there other than the template (dwt)
files
themselves. Please move it out to any other location in your
site.
<link href="../../Templates/Box.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
Changes made to template editable regions would not propagate
to existing
child pages - that's why you aren't seeing that addition in
them....

A Few Quick Lenovo T410 Questions

Hi all,
I posted here quite a while ago about my 9 cell battery in my integrated graphics T410 only lasting up to 5 hours. I have yet to send the notebook in simply because I haven't been able to go without it. However, I plan to do so at the start of this next week. Before I do so I was going to swap out the 500GB 7200.1RPM hard drive I installed with the 250GB 5400RPM drive that came with the notebook to see if it was an excessive power issue with the drive.This is where my worries are.
When I inserted the 500GB hard drive into the drive tray, I had a very hard time screwing the tray in place. The screws were damaged in the process, and I have worries about taking them out, and putting them back in again. I am still under warranty.
Am I able to recieve a new set of these screws?
Also, 2 quick questions
I plan on moving my 500GB drive into the slot where my optical drive is now, and putting a SSD in wheremy 500GB drive is located now. Do I need to buy anything special to make this work?
I also plan on upgrading from the 2x2GB RAM I installed myself (machine came with 1x2GB), to 4x2GB. Is this RAM compatible?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hi,
I think only lenovo techs can determine or tell that, but my guess is that if they feel they need to be replaced, then they probably will.

1. Yes, you would need this:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-73170.html
2. Yep, the RAM will definitely work.
Hope this helps.

Graphics for Interlaced & Progressive Video.

I had started an earlier thread addressing this issue. The answer I received didn't achieve the results I was looking for so I presented the information a little better. Thank you.
I am having interlacing issues producing graphics for a video destined for both the web and broadcast.
The video's main output will be interlaced on a DVD, the project uses mixed sources both progressive and interlaced. Graphics produced for this piece have been exported from motion with field rendering on.
Approval for this video is done over the internet on youtube. I must deinterlace the video so that it may be displayed on youtube correctly. The problem is that the graphics in the video get ugly stairstepping in them due to the deinterlacing. Deinterlacing is done through compressor's frame controls.
What is the best method for producing graphics for a video that is destined for both TV and the web? Should I be working in both a progressive and an interlaced timeline (exporting graphics either interlaced or progressive for each timeline). Producing only a progressive video is not valid in this case because we want the interlaced video assets to maintain their interlacing for television. Is there something I can do with my interlaced timeline/video to make the graphics look good when changed to progressive?

The methods provided in the previous thread ARE the best methods. That you're having issues is indicative of something else perhaps. It would be best if you could provide a sample of the two clips and the issue you're seeing. Also, a complete accounting of the footage and graphics would help as well. Here is an example:
+Video is DV/NTSC 720x480 29.97, lower field dominance.+
+Graphics are Text. Font Arial bold, 28 point in Boris Title tool.+
+Compressor settings: DVD Best 90. Frame controls: Deinterlace (better), output progressive.+
+Here's a pic of the stairstepping I'm seeing after Compressor [provide link]+

Quick photo ordering question...

I am in the process of ordering a bunch of photos, and I have a question: When I select the photos, say 25 of them, then select "Order Prints", I see all of my photos in a list, but I have to select the quantity for EACH PHOTO! Is there ANY way I can just say "print 1 4x6 of all pictures"? I will be doing more photos and I hate to have to go to each one if I have an album of 40-50 pictures.
Thanks in advance!
Ken

Up in the top right corner, you should see a Quick Order label and a double-arrow button. Click the up button once and it will do exactly what you want.

QUICK VIEWER RELATED QUESTION

Hi
Can I add a new column to my quick viewer report that will display TOTAL of existing columns in the report. What is the method?
How can I make my quick viewer report to open a document when I double click a field value. I see it happening in VF05 , va05 (lists).
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Surya

Okay, Ceci, I don't know as much about this stuff as
you obviously do, so I'm really sorry I offended you
with my newbie faux pas. Do you realize that in the
time it took you to rip on me you could have already
answered the question? Thanks for the sentiment.I answered it the best I could: write a small program and try it.
With MSAccess, my understanding is that if you have a string with length under
255 it's type is TEXT, and over 255 it's MEMO... is this right?String: max. 255 chars
Memo: max 64000 chars.
Sez the Access help.
But what does this string look like if the column will hold strings of text longer
than 255? Try it. Might puke, might truncate the String, might autoconvert. I don't know. You'll see.
Do I only specify the size like TEXT(400), or do I list the type like MEMO(400) or what?If you expect it to be > 255 chars, why not simply define the field as Memo right away? I doubt you can write a Memo to a textfield.

Quick dynamic update question

Hi all,
We've just got Color at work and I'm pretty impressed with it. Next they'll be bundling PFTrack or Boujou for free! Just a quick question though..
If I send an edit from FCP to Color, do some grading (including keyframing), and then get a revised EDL through or have to alter the cut in FCP will Color be clever enough to automatically or otherwise update the clip timings? (assuming I'm still working in the original timeline)

Qualified yes.
Apple manual:
Page 79.
But there are a lot of release notes regarding re-rendering material. Beware.

Quick time zone question

I am using Java to do some date/time formating and have a quick question.
Is Indiana's timezone "IET"? I know most of Indiana doesn't observe daylight savings time, but they are eastern when things are normal... IET seems to produce the correct time, but I just wanted to double check before I make any assumptions. Thanks for the info.

Actually it is "America/Indianapolis". Those three-character abbreviations have been deprecated because they are ambiguous (both North America and Australia have "eastern" times, for example).
If you have a Java 1.4 SDK, then have a look in this directory:
C:\j2sdk1.4.1\jre\lib\zi
(modify according to where you actually installed the SDK); each file in that directory tree represents a timezone.

Quick qmaster sharing question

Just a quick question. Should I turn on and off sharing for my 8 instance cluster as I get ready to use compressor and qmaster, or can I just leave it on all the time. Does it slow other things down if sharing is enabled all the time?
Thanks,
Ken

You should be ok with just leaving it on. As long as QMaster isn't encoding anything, then it just sits there.
