Reading SPRM's

hi so i nee some help... i'm using a video track with subtitles for the button overlay's... it looks great on a 16:9 TV but all out of whack on a 4:30 TV. i've created a 4:3 subtitle track as well but i can't figure out how to create the script to read SPRM14 to determine what ratio the TV is set to... can someone please help?
thanks a lot!

is your video track set up as 16x9 letterbox, pan and scan, or 4x3?

Apple DVD Player software not reading SPRM 4 correctly.

I am a DVD author and have recently run into an issue with Apple DVD Player not reading SPRM 4 (current title) correctly. I know this isn't the Apple DVD Player forum, but there doesn't seem to be one for that application, so here I am...
I have a disc (not authored in a Mac environment) that uses the value of SPRM 4 to track the last title played, and if it happens to equal the value of the main feature title, then use the "PLAY" button on the main menu as a resume.
Apple DVD Player seems to think that SPRM 4 equals this particular value all the time, regardless of what title last played, which is totally breaking my disc. The real kicker is that the disc works flawlessly on set-tops and in a windows environment.. just not on any Mac that I have tried.
Has anyone out there also experienced a problem with tracking SPRM 4 in Apple DVD Player? Is anyone from Apple reading these things, possibly someone who can flag this as a major issue?
I am positive that this specific to Apple DVD Player, because the disc works as intended EVERYWHERE else.
I have tried and experienced this issue across several Macs, and across several versions of DVD Player. It's consistent across all.
If anyone has any ideas, please respond.
Thanks,
Ben

these problems are well documented, use the search functions for plenty of solutions

Chapter markers lost after burn, breaking scripts.

I wrote a script to handle navigation between chapters in a training video.
It reads SPRM 4 to determine the last played chapter and does some arithmetic to calculate the next sequence in the video.
The user is presented with the option to repeat the chapter or continue to the next training sequence.
This works beautifully in the simulator and even in Apple's dvd player but the stand alone players we've tried (a Magnavox and a Sony) don't have the chapter number information. It can be displayed for other projects but for some reason, this dvd lost the chapter numbers during the burn?
Consequently the script that moves to the next chapter doesn't work because the dvd player always feeds it the first chapter number.
The project has 3 tracks. Any input would be most appreciated. I need to know if SPRM 4 just doesn't work on some DVD players.

Sorry,
I was looking at the wrong line in the script. I am checking SPRM 7 for the Current segment of the title (Chapter Marker).
Also I got lost in the nomenclature in your second paragraph. It looks really helpful but I didn't understand what you meant ("Non-sequential PGCs..."). How should I get the dvd to move from track 1 to track 2 and back if I don't set the Next Jump (aside from scripting it)?
Also, where could I find the DVD Spec rules you've alluded to?
Thanks
Here is the script thats being run:
01: mov GPRM 6, SPRM 7
02: mov GRPM 7, SPRM 4
03: sub GPRM 7, 1
04: mul GRPM 7, 128
05: add GRPM 7, 49280
06: add GPRM 7, GPRM 6
07: mov GPRM 6, SPRM 8
08: Goto 13 if (GPRM 6 = 2048)
09: sub GPRM 7, 1
10: sub GPRM 7, 1 if (GPRM 7 = 49285)
11: sub GPRM 7, 1 if (GPRM 7 = 49439)
12: Jump Indirect GPRM 7
13: mov GPRM 7, 49408 if (GPRM 7 = 49313)
14: Jump Indirect GPRM 7
It calculates the valud of the current Chapter in terms of the current track, determines whether the user wanted to repeat the chapter or continue to the next chapter, tests a few special repeat/continue points (jumping back multiple chapters or continuing to the next track) and the jumps to the calculated location.
I realize that I could rewrite this and using a few prescripts and the other scripts in the project so that I don't have to calculate based of SPRM 7 but I'd rather not if it isn't necessary. It seems like the dvd player (stand alone) simply doesn't read the chapter markers. It always repeats to chapter 1 and continues to chapter 2 no matter what.

SPRM 7 and stories -- problem!!!! help!

Hi everyone,
This is very strange... So I am totally confused by why this is happening. Basically I have a main track with many chapters, and seven stories based off of using different parts of that main track.
Before playing the 7 stories, it stores which story you are playing as a GPRM called (this_practice).
Then via button highlights over video, if you jump to a sub-video during the story, it stores SPRM 7 into a GPRM (called chapter_data).
So for example-- right now upon watching the simulator's info tab, I see that for example I am at part of title 13. I press "enter" for the button over highlight.. I see my chapter_data set to 13. and this_practice set to 4.
Ok, so when the sub-video is finished, it is supposed to jump back to where you were on the disc (chapter_data)..
so I have a script which reads:
Jump myTrack::story1 [chapter_data] if (this_practice=1)
Jump myTrack::story2 [chapter_data] if (this_practice=2)
etc... all the way through the stories..
ok, but instead, when I watch the inspector, it jumps back to the wrong chapter, but I have detemrined that this only happens with the stories.. If I play the entire track, it jumps back to it's proper place.. and from what I can tell, it appears to be jumping in reference to the original track, rather than the stories.... And I am confused why... For example, story 4, has 2 chapters missing-- and there fore when it should have jumped to part of title 14 (and chapter_data read 14 in the inspector), it went to part of title 16.
Does anyone know why this is happening??
thanks.

hmm.. Im not sure if we're talking about the same thing-- but maybe?
let me explain better...
#1, this is for a yoga video.. So I have preferences that say meditation on / off, spinal warm up on/ off.
So.. I have my main title.. the video with meditation and spinal warm up.
then I have stories with:
meditation and no spinal warm up,
no meditation and no spinal warm up
no meditation and with spinal warm up
.. Ok during the video, when ever you see a yoga pose, you can press enter and it will take you to a tutorial where you learn how to do the pose. After the tutorial is over, it's supposed to take you back to the beginning of that pose in the practice.
So.. when the user pushes enter to watch a tutorial, it goes to a script that gets the SPRM 7 and stores it in gprm "chapter_data". It then jumps to the particular tutorial..
after the tutorial video plays, it goes to a script which then determines which story to resume playing depending on what the meditation/spinal warm-up settings are.
... So, my problem is, if I play any story, at the end of the tutorial it takes me to the wrong spot... Like in my last example, when chapter_data is clearly set to 14, upon jumping to a story with [chapter_data], it shows the PTT is 16 rather than 14...
Is the answer to figure out how many chapters are missing from the stories and subtract those values from chapter_data or is there a better way?

Sony RDR-GX355 seems to not store SPRM 7 (last chapter played)

I have created a DVD with a main menu and a chapter menu such that when the remote menu button is pressed after reaching the track from the chapter menu, you are taken to the chapter menu and the button of the last chapter played is highlighted. The DVD behaves correctly in the Simulator, in Apple's DVD Player, in my Sony DVP-NS575P player, and in another player I tried in a store. However, in my Sony RDR-GX355, the button for the first chapter is highlighted no matter what chapter was last played or selected.
Thinking (and hoping) that perhaps my particular unit of the RDR-GX355 was defective, I went to B&H and found a salesman willing to take a brand new Sony RDR-GX355 out of its box and hook it up to play my disk. Again, the button for the first chapter was highlighted no matter what chapter was last played or selected.
My DVD uses SPRM 7 in order to know which button to highlight on the chapter menu. My conclusion is that the Sony RDR-GX355 does not store SPRM 7.
When playing my Concert for George DVD I have observed behavior that supports my conclusion that the Sony RDR-GX355 does not store SPRM 7. When I play Concert for George in the Sony RDR-GX355, using the remote menu button to return to the chapter menu highlights the button of the last chapter selected. But in all my other players, using the remote menu button to return to the chapter menu highlights the button of the last chapter played.
Does anyone have any experience with the Sony RDR-GX355 that you'd care to share?

Hello, I am not aware of it being turned off.
In that case, subtle damage to your Apple Application Support might be causing both it to not be running, and the trouble with images in the store.
Try a complete uninstall/reinstall of your iTunes as per the following document:
[Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
With the newer, undamaged, version of Apple Application Support in place, are you able to see images in the Store again?

SPRM Audio value always zero?

Hi there,
I've been working on a 5-language DVD an trying to manage the audio streams in scripts by using the SPRM audio values (SPRM 1
Even when I been using different audio languages defaults with in the simulator, the SPRM audio value will be still displayed as zero.
Is this a bug in the simulation or does the default audio stream that could be choosen there, take no effect to the simulator?
Thanks for your comments and help in advance!
Regards from Germany!

Hi there all,
sorry - after more tryouts I've found that there is not the language value in SPRM1 displayed, it is the audio track value!
In this case it would be better for me to use SPRM0 values in the scripts to choose the right language track.

Cannot sync, error message "could not be read" for an iPod no longer in use

I have two problems. I upgraded iTunes to 7.2 and the very next morning my iPod died. It is completely unresponsive. Maybe it's coincidental. So I bought a new 80 gig iPod and gave it a different name than the old dead iPod. Now when I try to sync the new iPod, it goes for about 10 minutes, then it fails with this message:
Attempting to copy to the disk "old iPod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
It is complaining that it can not read the old dead iPod that is NOT hooked up to the computer! Somehow, minutes into syncing, iTunes has forgotten which iPod it is looking at. I have seen the article about the "cannont be read" message and it is not relevant. I need to make iTunes forget about the old dead iPod so it will stop looking for it. I've tried removing the files from "Documents and Settings" but iTunes still remembers the old unit. Where else does it store information? Any recommendations?
Windows XP

Attempting to copy to the disk "old iPod name" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
It is complaining that it can not read the old dead iPod that is NOT hooked up to the computer!
Okay, that can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. For troubleshooting advice on that possibility, see the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Ipod not being being read by vista

Hi Guys,
I have an 8 gig nano which I got for Xmas in 2007.
It has worked great (apart from the 4 sets of sennheiser and sony headphones ive been through), less errors than my old 4 gig had.
But it has an error and I dont know how to fix it or why its happened so Im hoping someone can help.
About a week ago I was transfering some mp3 files onto my ipod. I thought the transfer had gone smoothly, but when I unplugged my ipod and tried to listen to the songs in my recently added playlist, I was unable to select any most of the songs I had just added (and some I had added a week earlier). It wont let me select these songs either in the songs list or recently played list and skips to the next song. Then it wont let me skip back past that song!
Also the ipod is no longer recognised by itunes. It simply doesnt pop up in the menu when I plug it in. Windows recognises an ipod has been plugged in, but when I try to explore the ipod it wont let me and tells me the device needs to be formatted.
The exact error message when I try to access the ipod directly through vista reads:
"You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it"
The ipod is still usable and charges, but I cannot listen or skip back past the songs ive recently added, itunes wont recognise it and I cant add anymore songs because I cant access it through Itunes.
I have tried:
1. The manual reset by holding the centre and middle buttons down
2. charging it completely
3. trying different USB ports
4. trying a different ipod cable.
5. Uninstalling and reinstalling new itunes.
Nothing Helps! Any suggestions? Im thinking Im going to have to do a format
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Thanks,
John

You may need to change the drive letter of the ipod as describe [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
If you can't see the ipod in disk management, before you connect the ipod, open itunes, select edit/preferences, with that open click on Show desktop. This will make itunes busy. Then connect the ipod.

I can no longer read DRM protected books

I have had ADE and Sony Reader for PC for some years without any major problems. Recently I have been having some issues downloading a particular book - the acsm would not download the file. In trying to fix this I seem to have created a far worse problem. One of the fixes suggested was to ensure my computer was properly authorised - but I was unsure of my password on my Adobe account linked to my old email so not knowing what else to do I created a new account. Adobe have now rather unhelpfully removed the DRM from all my legitmately pruchased books. I have been wrestling with the earlier problems for over a week now and this latest hastle is the last straw. My computer is Windows Vista and my ereader is Sony PR1, I thought this would need to be resolved by Adobe linking or merging my accounts but if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

IPod Error Message: "The disk could not be read from or written to."

Hello!
I was syncing my sister's video iPod (30GB) and this error message pops up "Attempting to copy to the disk. "SARAH'S IPO" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored it three times already, but once it starts putting the music and files back onto the iPod it pops up with that error message. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPod software available. My OS is Windows XP.
Is this something serious? Will I be able to fix it myself or will I need to send it in to be fixed by Apple? Will that be expensive? We didn’t get the Apple replacement plan. D=
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. ^_^
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 15" PowerBook 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 1.5GB RAM - Windows XP with iPod 5 Generation

Okay I went thru that entire list and here's what I got...
(1) My OS is XP and is running fine.
(2) I've updated my windows
(3) I don't know of any software that might be interfering.
(4) There are no damaged files.
(5) My Windows hard-drive is not damaged and I've tried restoring my iPod's disk thru iTunes but it still doesn't work.
(6) I don't have an iPod photo and I can't find the folder to delete the cache if if I did.
(7) The USB cord is firmly connected into my USB port and my iPod
(8) My music is on my external hard-drive so I need to keep 3rd-party hardware connected
(9) I will try another USB cord to see if that works.
Is there anything else that I can do? Can Apple fix this?
Please let me know.

Iomega external hard drive either 'not found' by Time Machine or is now in 'read only' format

I don't know what's going on with my iomega external hard drive. Sometimes the HD is recognised by the computer; other times it isn't; if it isn't I can restore to an earlier back up via Time Machine app; but it's like the disk isn't writable.
Ten days ago, I had trouble backing up my iMac using Time Machine. After turning it off and restarting my external hard drive, it backed up successfully.
However, today I am trying to back up my files, and TM tells me it can't find the external hard drive. Nothing has changed -- I have been out of town this past week -- but somehow my HD now seems to be in 'read only' format. It does turn on, and I could restore my computer to an earlier back up.
"Mac OS X can't repair the disk. You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Annoyingly, despite my HD not showing in Finder or on my Desktop (as it usually does), when I simply turn it off I get that warning message "The disk was not ejected properly".
Have tried verifying and repairing using Disk Utility, to no avail.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it. I'm guessing this would wipe the disk clean and I'd have to create the initial back up image all over again -- I'm reluctant to do this since this HD is my only back up and if it all goes tits up I'll be up that famous creek without a paddle.
Thoughts, suggestions, input all welcome and deeply appreciated -- thank you!

It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.
Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.
That will erase it. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast). Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27. If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups.

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.
Kind regard,
Zhenbo

SPAU error reading log file

Hi All,
We have an R/3 4.0B landscape and are working on some changes. I want to see if any SAP delivered objects have been modified in the past, but whenever I run SPAU or SPDD, I get an error message
"Error Reading File D:\usr\sap\put\log\umodstat.log" "Message Number 0U 503".
I can read a text file in the same directory through AL11, so I'm reasonably sure it's not an OS permission problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Sy-tabix in relation to LOOP AT and READ TABLE

Hi All,
As per SAP documentation,
1) While looping through an internal table (LOOP AT), sy-tabix contains the index number of current row(for standard and sorted tables)
2)When successfully reading from an internal table(READ TABLE), sy-tabix is set to the index of the result row.
But what happens when READ TABLE is used while looping through another internal table?
i.e. Loop at TAB1...
write sy-tabix.
READ TABLE TAB2...
write sy-tabix.
endloop.
If we are looping through 1st row of TAB1 and the result of read statement is found in 3rd row of TAB2, I expected that sy-tabix before READ would be 1 and after the READ be 3.
But, I found that sy-tabix remains unchanged at 1. Can someone expalin why?
Thanks,
Jagan

Hi
If after reading the table TAB2 the system variable SY-TABIX has still the previous value, that menas the READ TABLE fails or it was read the first record of TAB2.
After READ TABLE TAB2 try to check the SY-SUBRC:
LOOP AT TAB1.
   WRITE: / 'TAB1 index:', SY-TABIX.
   READ TABLE TAB2 .........
   IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     WRITE: 'TAB2 index:', SY-TABIX.
Try this:
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
        FIELD1,
      END   OF ITAB.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB2 OCCURS 0,
        FIELD1,
      END   OF ITAB2.
DATA: INDEX TYPE I.
DO 10 TIMES.
APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
DO 10 TIMES.
APPEND ITAB2.
ENDDO.
LOOP AT ITAB.
WRITE: / 'ITAB:', SY-TABIX.
INDEX = SY-TABIX + 2.
READ TABLE ITAB2 INDEX INDEX.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    WRITE: 'ITAB2:', SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
