Recommended vmware settings for OES11

Are there any recommendations for virtualizing OES11 with vmware vsphere (ESXi 4.1 or 5)?
1. While installation (near at the beginning) there is a choice for the virtualization type.
The relevant choices are "physical Computer" or "paravirtualized Computer"
Is "physical" really the best choice for vmware, because thats also the setting for fully virtualized guests.
2. SLES11 SP1 support paravitualized drivers for harddisks and usually that is a big performance boost on a suitable server (RAID Controller, SAS Drives, etc.)
What's with OES11 here even if using NSS Volumes?
thanks
Tobi

The bit about the removing and readding the NIC as VMXNET3 is unnecessary:
SLES 11.1 distribution includes a VMXNET3 driver, so you can create the VM
with a VMXNET3 NIC to begin with and have it seen during installation and
before the tools are added.
Can't say I bother with pvscsi. You only see benefits under very high I/O
load. This is outweighed for me by the nuisance value of having disk
drivers that may fail after a kernel upgrade. VMware tools are not very
robust in this respect I find.

Recommended settings for HDTV

Hi, I just got an HDTV and am a little confused as to what are the "best" settings for video. When I go into the FIOS video menu I'm a little confused.
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

The "best" settings are what looks best to you. That being said, it also depends on the TV you are hooking up to. Ideally it should be set to the aspect ratio of your TV (I'm assuming that would be 16:9 for an HDTV) and the native resolution for HD (1080i or 720p - depends on your TV and I am assuming you have a flat panel and not a CRT set).
Now comes the trickiest one the SD override. Some sets don't accept 480i over HDMI so be careful here. Setting this to "OFF" causes the FiOS box to output SD (4:3) at whatever resolution you have selected for HD(the box upconverts the resolution). The best bet is to try the different options for the SD Override and select whatever works best with your TV and looks best to your eye (some TV sets do a better job of converting SD to their native resolution than the box will). The other option is whether you want SD in 4:3 (black side bars) or stretched to fill the 16:9 screen (personal choice is to never stretch, YMMV). As always, the best setting is what looks best to you

Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
So have you got any problem with current settings in virtualization environment?
Maybe you can take look the blog post below, some suggestions on how to set NTP service on domain controller in virtualization environment have been discussed in that

Can someone recommend good settings for HC Encoder?

Hi all,
I have an SD, 25p 16:9 movie that I wish to encode for burning to DVD. Now, it is an .avi that was made with Avisynth. I wish to know what settings you recommend while using HC Encoder. I just want to minimize loss of quality and be able to put the .m2v into Encore.
I have searched the web many times trying to find this answer but there seems to be little documentation/tutorials for this encoder.
I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks!

Hi,
the language used is not important. Ideally it would be explained in a language independent way :)
What's most important is that I get to understand beyond just cutting and pasting. I understand vectors and trigonometry and basic algebra and a little physics so a book that would assume a person is rusty in these areas would be great. hmm maybe I need to buy some school text books!!!!
I found the following books below if someone has read one and can help me decide which to buy that would be great. Otherwise I'll have to buy all 4!

Recommended overclocked settings for Ti 4200 with AGP8X?

I was wondering which are the best settings or recommended for overclocking a Ti4200 with AGP 8X.
I searched and notice that people talk about how to when to'???.. but no one says what is the recommendation.. or jsut i have to begin trying numbers and see what happens??..
Thanks!

Hola Next_Gate,
I guess I am following all over this forum now. :D
As a rule of thumb, the Core will go 25 to 50Mhz over spec, but there is little performance to be gained by overclocking the Core. Your real gain is from the RAM.
RAM overclocking with a Vid Card is pot luck. It all depends on the RAM on the particular card you have in your comp. Two identical cards will have different overclocks. If you are going to overclock it, do a 15 to 25Mhz jump the first time, and then from there only a couple of Mhz at a time. I use 3DMark2001SE to test my overclock. If it makes it, I bump it up some more and test again, etc.
If 3DMark2001SE locks, I shut the computer off immediately and lower my overclock. If I start getting garbage on the screen during 3DMark2001SE, I hit the ESC key and lower my overclock.
Be Warned: This has a very good chance of turning your Vid Card in to a very expencive Key Chain. You have to be happy with the possibility of destroying your Vid Card. If you cannot live with that, DO NOT OVERCLOCK.
Saludos,
Ricardo

Recommended Quicktime settings for web-use

I am preparing a standard definition video ( 640 x 480 )
about 7 minutes long to be used on a website.
Am I alright with H. 264 export as a Quicktime .mov file,
or are there other settings / means of compression that
would be more favorable.
It is an older version of Final Cut - 5.1.4, and I am not seeing
anything for Flash, etc.
Thanks for any help / tips,
Sterne

Recommended Overclocked settings for 2400+

Ok, made a previous post earlier about RAM problem and someone said that setting the ratio of 1:1 for cpu/ram would help my ram problem
it did slightly
So what I did is, my FSB is now at 145
its running fine.. my 2400+ (1996.6mhz) is now running at 2179.33mhz, not bad, I haven't really changed.. it does get a little unstable at 146 though, but I don't change any voltage or anything
so I'm curious to know what would be quality settings, and how far I could push this thing, with just a Vantech Aeroflow heatsink.. so far my temps are 44(CPU) and 40(system)
my multiplier is currently at 15..
any heads up?

yes. wire trick. I haven't had to do that because I just increased my fsb from 133 to 166, I didn't have to change the cpu voltage, but if you're getting some instability maybe you could try bumping up the voltage a little bit? As you can see in my sig I have my 2100+ running at the same speed as you've got yours at, so I'd think you should be able to get more.
Also, about the temps, don't worry unless you start getting and staying over ~60 celsius, I seem to be stuck, can't ever get below 52 celsius idle, but have yet to get over 57 celsius under full load

Please recommend OC settings for MSI K9A Platinum and AM2 6000+

OS is Vista Ultimate x64. BIOS revision is 1.7.
Memory is Corsair XMS DDR2-800 5-5-5-18-2T. I have 2 Diamond HD2900XT's in crossfire default clocks 825/1075 using driver 7.10. At stock everything runs stable. No crashes in any games. I have a 92mm intake fan feeding the two video cards which exhaust out the back. PSU is the PC Power and Cooling 750 single rail. CPU heatsink is stock.
I am really only looking to OC the CPU. So does anyone with the same motherboard haven any recommendations? Or any of you skilled overclockers?

Holy mother of thread resurrections!
Open up a new topic if you have any problems, do not revive old ones.
Thank you.

Best settings for .mov files on a Data CD or DVD ?

Hi,
I have a series of sequences in FCP. I want to export them as .mov files and .wmv flies to be played off a data CD or DVD. They are essentially talking heads with a few cut away shots about 5 min each.
I'm finding that when I save them as "high" quality .mov & .wmv files through "Export / Quicktime Compression", they don't play smoothly off the CD. Compression too high I guess?
Can someone recommend some settings for me? Somewhere to start and I can tweak... I'd like to keep the viewing window as large as possible. Some of the streaming settings are too small.
I have Flip4Mac installed for making the .wmv files. Suggestions there are welcome too.
Cheers,
P

Nevermind.
I just found out Snow Leopard can only write HFS+ on CD and DVD for data.
I have a utility called "Burn" that is freeware and it lets me choose the filesystem - including Joliet and hybrid.

What target settings for LCD monitor calibration?

I have recently installed Spectraview II to calibrate my NEC LCD 2180WG monitor but have some doubts on which target settings to use as there are different opinions on color temp, gamma and intensity choices.
I use my system purely for photo post-processing and printing on color calibrated printers. I use AdobeRGB color space and have no interest for processing images for web.
- What color temp do you use/recommend? D50, D65 or something in between? I see that some folks use D65 and others swear by D50.
- What about Gamma choice 1.8, 2.2 or L* ? Same here, no common choice here too.
- Lastly what about intensity (brightness in terms of cd/mm2)?
NEC recommends Target Settings for Printing, which are D50, 1.8 gamma and Max. Intensity, but I'm not sure.
I'd appreciate if you could recommend correct settings for my type of work.
Thank You

Charles,
I arrived at 5100K by measuring a few of my favorite printing papers with my spectrophotometer. This was a good compromise (most measured between about 4800K and 5300K). I confirmed the results by trying various calibrations them comparing the monitor to prints (using custom printer profiles). Anywhere near 5000K looked great, but 5100K was the best match of the bunch. I used 5000K lighting for viewing (Solux and Philips light sources).
Luminance settings were done in a similar fashion. First I compared a ppure white Photoshop document (on the monitor) to the intensity of a sheet of white printing paper displayed under my viewing light. With the monitor luminance set to the 85 cd/m2 range, the two documents look about the same brightness of white. I try to view my prints under "moderate" light levels rahter than ultra bright levels, since I know they won't be lit by spot or flood lights when placed on a wall. If you do have spots on your hung prints, there is a case to use a higher luminance level on your monitor. Anyway, on many LCDs, if you set the luminance too high, your blacks can start to look a little washed out. When set to about 85 cd, my tonal range in the print is a great match to my monitor. If I have the monitor luminance set to 100 or higher, I find that my prints look dark and muddy in comparison (unless viewed under unrealistically bright lights). So, a lot of trial and error, plus some initial brightness comparisons.
Gamma is a tougher one. I have a special viewing target that I bring up in Photoshop (Lab based to prevent any possible conversions). When viewed in Photoshop at full magnification, it helps me to set the gamma, which affects mostly the midtone density. On my LCD, I found )again by trial and error) that 2.0 gave me the best tonal distribution. My old CRT worked best at 1.8 gamma, and other LCDs sometimes work best at other gamma settings, such as 2.2.
The above settings work beautifully given my equipment, my viewing levels, ambient working conditions, etc. My monitor to print match is excellent from both a color and tonal range standpoint. Hope that helps clarify my thinking and approach.

Best export settings for video for web

Can anyone give me some advice on the best export settings for a short video that is to be viewed on the web? I have some short, say 2 minute videos that need to be placed on a website and need a reasonable file size. What would the best Format and Preset options be in Premiere? Would it be helpful to utilize After Effects to reduce file size? Thank you in advance to anyone who has some advice!!

For now, it would be on my own website or a clients website. But there may
be another possibility, I have a client that already has some videos
available for viewing on their website, looks like they are YouTube videos
that play on their site, and there is an option to "Watch on YouTube". So I
guess I would love some recommended export settings for a straightforward
video clip on my website, and if I need to explore the YouTube preset in
Premiere, let me know. Thank you, I really appreciate your answers and
help!!

Forms Central - Internet Explorer Recommended Browser Settings

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, added it to Forms Central and then linked it to our company website for members to complete and then click submit. I have a member that said her submit button will not work, she clicks it and nothing happens. My question: What is the recommended browser settings for Internet Explorer to be able to submit the form.

Most of the major browsers have some sort of PDF preview built into them. These preview capabililties don't have enough functionality to allow filling in of PDF Forms. Therefore regardless of browser or platform (Mac) you likely need to install our Acrobat Reader plugin. Additionally in some cases you will need to tell the browser that you want to use our (Adobe Reader) plugin when displaying PDF. Each browser is a little different, but the concept is the same.

Settings for sharpening 1ds MK3 files

Can anyone recommend sharpening settings in Aperture for 1ds mk3 files. Canon has recommended sharpening settings for PS but does not provide them for Aperture or other software.

I leave the RAW conversion settings as-is. For edge sharpening I often leave as-is but sometimes increase the amount. I rarely touch the radius or falloff.

Best export settings for DNxHD?

Hey guys,
I'm working with R3D files (4KHD) in CS6 and need to export them for grading/editing in DNxHD at 1080p. Any tips on the best export settings for this?
Also - is it necessary to downconvert the 4KHD in some way to 1080p before the export process? The files I'm ending up with are a noticeably poorer quality than the original; I'm not sure if this is due to an error I've made during the conversion or if its a natural part of using the codec?
Thanks if you can help!

Compression settings for H.264

Can anyone recommend some settings for making making H.264 video intended for delivery on the web at 640x380?
Thanks.

Heya Rick,
So I was looking at the H.264 settings in Compressor and it would seem as though the highest bitrate is 1500 kps so guess you can't do bit rate between 2000 and 2500 k/bits like another poster recommended by using Compressor for Apple Devices settings. Also there isn't much control over the audio of the h.264 file in Compressor whereas QT conversion from FCP allows you to select a mono audio file with a lower khz rate and render quality.
The difference between selecting stereo vs. mono will be the difference between 1/2 or twice the filesize for your audio file which will absolutely affect your total filesize but make little to no difference in your viewed file intended for web viewing. Take a look at a standalone Stereo track AAC 44.100 kHz 192 kbps that is 5 mins long and you're looking at about 5 MB file just for the audio!!! Cut that to mono and drop the frequency and bitrate and that 5 mb audio file will be about 1MB.
I have always used QT conversion from FCP and have only just now had the opportunity to look at the h.264 settings in Compressor and judging from initial impressions I would go with QT conversion from FCP.
For the video you mention I would just go with export using QT conversion from FCP. For video settings use automatic keyframes with an automatic datarate with quality set to Medium. Best quality multi-pass encode. For sound settings use Linear PCM Mono channel 32 khz rate and Faster Quality render setting. That should give you a nice, small file size that will look and sound good enough for sit down interview video between 3-5 mins. in length.
Also remember that the h.264 can be used with a Flash player instead of QT player so those without Quicktime can view the file without having to install the QT player. You can use something like the JW Player from http://LongTailvideo.com or simply change the extension of the compressed h.264 to .flv and use it with any Flash Player above 9.0
