Requesting Advice for Better Multimedia Production Preformance

As you can see, I have the low-end Northwood Pentium 4C 2.4GHz processor in my 865PE. I'm doing a lot of digital video conversions and need advice on how to speed up some of the process. I am only a hobbiest, not a professional, and don't have big bucks for the latest and greatest. I was considering the following choices:
1. Upgrade the CPU to a Prescott 3.4GHz (maybe the biggest bang for the buck?)
2. Add another gig of dual channel memory (or going for more preformance type memory)
3. Setting up a RAID 0 Array with two of my hard drives (makes me nervous, when one drive goes down, all data is lost)
4. Save my upgrade dollars and look at 925X/915 Boards
5. Look at AMD alternatives
Thank you in advance for your thoughts...
Marshall

Danny,
Thanks for the information. The future does sound exciting!! I'm certain over time the pricing on this stuff will go down but right now I would be looking at the following expenses for this solution:
New 955X Board $219(ASUS) $299(MSI)
Pentium D 820 (2.8GHz) $241
New DDRII Memory $200
PCI Express 9600xt AIW $182
Estimate of Upgrade Costs: $842 to $922
Being able to encode and transcode digital video a lot faster, priceless....
Ok, I know I would be giving up a much faster dual core processor, SATA II, DDR2 (faster?) and PCI Express (faster?), but wouldn't I get some gradification with just a CPU upgrade which is 1/4 the cost of the upgrade?
Pentium® 4 Prescott 3.2GHz 800MHzFSB Socket 478 about $200.
Which do you feel gives the best price/performance ratio.

LabVIEW done right: Requesting advice for a large LabVIEW project

Hello Everyone,
I have been coding LabVIEW for about 2 years now, off and on as my company requires it, and although my coding abilities and neatness have improved greatly since I first started I still end up with large, messy looking programs.
I have a great understanding of SubVIs and use them regularly and often. I am also familiar with the various code structures such as a producer/consumer or state machine. But I keep finding that too much of my main code is interdependent on common variables, indexes, and values that it seems impossible to simplify any of them into subVIs because I would need like 10+ inputs or a custom cluster for each one. This seems counter productive and time consuming.
I have searched far and wide for good programming technique for larger labview programs and I have only been able to find the most basic advice such as "Use subVIs" or "Use a state machine" and all the examples I can find are laughably simple.
I can reduce my program to 3 while loops. One captures Events and gives commands on a queue, another takes those queued items and performs actions, and the third performs data gathering, plotting, and saving once each second. This starts out good, but by the time I've incrementally added all the features my company requires, each loop is a huge interconnected mess of wires with no clear way to section them up into subVIs.
A solution would be to make everything either a global variable or FG but as a native C programmer I was always taught to avoid globals. And if I went the FG route I would need somewhere around 100+ different VIs just to handle them all.
Is there something I'm missing? I want to know how you pass data between the various loops of your program. Do you use one big cluster? Globals? FGs? None of these options seem ideal to me but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
If anyone has any advice for me, it would be well appreciated. Better yet, if anyone has, or could point me to, an example program exhibiting an ideal programming structure for a project similar to the one I mentioned above, I would love to take some time to look it over. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some good tips and tricks for keeping my main VI to one screen size, and effectively passing all the required data to all the subVIs that require it.
Thanks in advance,
-Aaron

Do you try to identify related information that can be used by a whole set of related subVI's? For example, you might have several parameters related to a specific piece of hardware. These can be grouped into a typedef cluster (or, even better, an object with all the related subVIs part of the object class). You definitely don't want to be using custom cluster for each subVI, but well designed subVI's shouldn't have more than a few custom inputs once related information is grouped.
As for data in the loops, I usually just have one big cluster in a shift register. This is never itself sent into a subVI, but parts of it (the typedef clusters or objects from above) are unbundled and sent into subVI's. It's basically just serves as a cleaner way of holding all the parameters. I'll attach an image of a "state" of the program I'm now working on. There are only a few wires unbundled in each individual "state", even though the full cluster (the top shift register in the image) has 20-odd components (and some of them are subclusters/objects that themselves have many components, such as the "Selected Record" object in the image which itself is a 15 element cluster).
BTW, I'm using the "JKI state machine toolkit" which you might want to look at to get some ideas.

Request Advice for creating DVDs from 7.5 gig file sizes

Hi,
[using dvdstudio 3]
I’m looking for advice for home DVD project i'm working on. I want to create a DVD from video that has been captured to my computer using iMovieHD, and have completed my wanted edits for two clips. They are about an hour-plus each. When exporting the two clips separately (Sharing, in iMovie terms), the file sizes are about 7.5 Gig each at full quality,and I understand I’m going to have to cut some corners in the process to get both on one DVD and I’m even willing to have two DVDs, but still need to know the best way to decrease the file size for each one. The audio should remain as 16 bit 44.1 Khz, Stereo.
I’m wondering what the best method to achieve an optimum quality DVD is. Again, I realize I’ll have to compress the video at the loss of quality (i.e., “cut corners”) to make the DVDs.
In my previous experiences, I’ve retained the larger file size all the way up through the authoring process in DVD Studio letting it build a 7.5 gig dvd format (VIDEO_TS). Then, I used DVDx2One to compress it down to 4.5. The end result was pretty good and I never had any troubles per say. However, this project is important to me and I want to make the best quality I can. What would you do differently?
Here are my software tools that I use interchangeably for previous projects; copying, authoring, editing, etc:
-> iMovieHD 4x – used to capture the video.
-> DVD Studio 3 - to author and build my dvd session
-> ffmpegx - as a video conversion and compression tool
-> DVDX2one to recompress DVD formatted (VIDEO_TS).
Thanks very much for your tips!
JeffTronics

Hi Jeff - is the iMovie file in QT format?
If so, you need to compress it to MPEG2 - you don't need to suffer too much of a quality loss by doing so - how long (in minutes) is the video?
You should also encode the audio to AC3 - this will save loads of space as AC3 is about a tenth the size of a .aiff.
ffmpeg will create the MPEG for you, but so will DVDSP (as indeed will Quicktime). In your applications folder you should find 'A.Pack' which will handle the audio conversion as well.
The exact encoding parameters you use will depend on the nature of the footage that you have got - it's more than just squeezing it to fit - you need to account for fades, pans, zooms and fast action as well. Some parts can have a lower bitrate applied than others, and this is where a tool such as Compressor comes in handy. DVDSP will encode the footage as you work, or when you build if you want it to - this is also a reasonable option if you have nothing else available, or if you are new to the whole thing.
The best workflow is to go from iMovie to a compression tool to create your MPEG2 file. Take the associated .aiff file and encode to to Dolby Digital (AC3). Import both the MPEG2 and the AC3 file into DVDSP and you should be able to get the entire project to less than 4.37GB (the maximum capacity of a DVD-R).

Server Setup advice for a video production house

Hello Forum,
I recently started working for a small video production company, I need advice on the type of server and other hardware and services that will allow my co-workers to work efficiently. Here are some details:
Currently we are going to buy a new server, I am not sure what we should look at getting,
currently we use a mini mac running OSX server and have 6 iMacs that the editors and other staff use.
We also have a 15 TB Drobo network storage device which is attached to the mini-mac server we are going to replace.
The production team uses Final Cut and Motion to build documentaries.
The other issue is that need a way to connect the office in Baltimore to the office in Washington DC and ideally share files between each location, currently they cannot access the network from Baltimore and have to have a copy of the unedited footage on their own Drobo.
What type of server setup do you recommend? Quad core? speed?
Should we set up a VPN to connect offices or does someone have a better idea, if so what applications do we need?
I know windows networking pretty well, but Mac is totally new to me.Currently editing files from the server is really slow and files are usually pulled to the iMacs to do editing, burning DVDs from files on the server hardly ever works- they pull them local then burn the DVD and it works.
I would love to hear suggestions to help us get up and running.
Anyone know of a good website for server setup- Since there is no Domains in OSX that i know of, how can we secure the network? Links would be great.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well if your looking for performance. You could get a Promise VTrak E-Class RAID with 32TB of storage, later on you can add more chassis to the raid for more storage space. The raid can be expanded up to 160TB. (80 drive bays, each drive 2 TB)
Using fiber you could attach the raid to an xServer or Mac Pro (running mac os x server). You'll probable want at least 8 or 16 GB of ram on the server.
The server can run a copy of final cut server. Witch makes it easer to work as a group. Mac OS X server, when properly configured, can also be used to create a VPN between both locations.
Final Cut Server will let editors check in/out specific parts of the documentaries. So the project lives on the server; instead of scattered over every ones computers. Part of this is you can pull down thumb nails versions of the video to work off of. Only when you do the final render do you download the HD version of the video.
If you want even better performance on the editing stations. you could also upgrade to Mac Pros. Mac Pros have upgrade slots witch you can use to add fiber networking. You could also use the upgrade slots to add a black magic real time HD capture card.
Or if you want to keep the imacs. you might want to hook the server to a switch by fiber, and have the imacs connected to the same switch by 1000-T
If you call apple i'm sure they'd be happy to help you figure this all out.

Someone who have advice for a folio production in many languages

I'm sitting right now in the planning stages for dps which will be published in at least 18 languages.
Thinking now of a multi-folio viewer where there is a folio for each language. Does anyone have a better solution?
Does anyone have any advice? maybee examples of other dps in many languages? We have a Professional Edition.
Are grateful for all tips and advice
/Ake

This has come up a few times before. You can use the filter feature of DPS to apply a language to each of your different folios, and then use the filter UI in the app (or via a custom store/library) to restrict the list of issues to just the language the reader cares about.

Transport Request is not flagged for import into production.

When I try to migrate a CR from the quality system to the acceptance system, through solution manager system, the status flag still remains to be "To be tested" which normally does not happen.
I get 4 warnings as below:
1) Status was reset by system
2) No import into test system has taken place.
3) Transport request is not flagged for import into production
4) The tester role cannot be the same as the developer role.
Usually when a CR is selected for migration to Acceptance, the status flag automatically sets to "productive", which in turn depicts that the CR has been migrated to acceptance and is ready for import into production.
But when I check the Transport log in the acceptance system, it is evident that the CR has been migrated to acceptance with errors.

I guess these errors you mentioned are the reason why ChaRM reports your transprot request as
2) No import into test system has taken place.
1) Status was reset because 2) is not fullfilled.
3) did not get flagged because status was not set due to previous errors.
4) business partner of user with function "tester" (apparently the one who tries to set status) is the same as the business partner assigned to function "developer". If it should be the same person you can switch off the warning in customizing.
Try to correct import errors and repeat status switch.

License for testing and production systems

Hi Experts
Can any one help me out on implementing license in my B1 System.
According to our contract we have licensed following user types:
User Type
Licensed
AddOn Access License 25
Professional User 5
Software Development Kit - Development Version 20
We have Test/development system in one hardware and Production system on different hardware. Please advice me how to request/allocate license for my test/development system and production system.
We tried creating a Test System in SAP Market place and requested license for test system. While requesting license for production system, it is found that the license is exceeded. In other words, developent system license also counted.
Please advice me on the best practices of B1 license implementation.
Thanks and regards
Ajith G

Hi,
Our customer wants to Keep the production data secure. Developers and consultants should not have the access to it.
Then you have only two options:
1.Either you should maintain a standalone b1 server for the developers and consultants to test their solutions and scenarios.
2.Otherwise you can create users in sql studio for accessing only the test database.
So that as per your requirement
All configurations and sample data will be kept in a test environment where developers and consultants can do their work.Once everything is correct Admin will do the transfer to production.
Note:New users can be created in the sql studio under Databases-><Company Db>->Security->Users, Rt.click new user

Request help for purchasing HD webcams using iMac, OSX &Lion

I am requesting help for purchasing a HD webcam using iMac, OSX &Lion. Any suggestions would help. The following is what I've done so far...
I purchased Logitech's HD C910 webcam. It was a mess in requards to freezing up, no zoom and most of all no adjustments in: contrast, hue, color, etc. You're stuck just like a car with no engine or wheels who wants that. The other Logitech products i.e. Pro 9000 is being discontinued with no software updates in the future and the same with the other products. Most of the other manufactures do not provide software that is really compatible provideing true HD with full features. I'm willing to spend around $199,00 or so. Any suggestions?

Well I found my own answer to the webcam concern that I had ....I bought the Logitech C-910...Yes, I know the Logitech states their software is not compatible with OS X ...That's OK, I only use the basics supplied by Logitech to open the cam...Logitech does supply HD settings which are useful. I like the wide angle which is there to play around. Then I use a software program called "Webcams Settings" found at Apple's App Store. There is a small charge for this download but more than worth it to have a fully functioning system. The best way to get there is obliviously via your "Dock." Click on the icon and type in "Webcam Settings" in the top right portion of the page and presto....you have all the goodies to play like a professional. i.e.: zoom, pan, tilt, aperture. etc. of course your webcam camera(s) must have the capability to perform these options in order to use them.
Note I have used my webcam for everything you can imagine and have a 60 foot cord (several cords linked together) to go outside (LOL) 'Just love the goodies with "Webcam Settings". I take outstanding pics too if I do say so, please. Funny, I rarely use my cam to Skype but knowing the option is there for me anytime I wish. I my cam to photograph orchids and misc. even portraits and family play photos with my tripod in hand. Just because there is a big road block in your path doesn't mean there aren't other avenues. In the corporate life it's called take a negative and make it a positive or else.......and if you have to gripe then you better have an idea on how to turn it around. -So- I did Logitech and Apple.

Cannot enable "Updates for other Microsoft products" on WSUS client

i cannot enable the checkbox "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" ("Microsoft update" instead of "Windows update"). If I enable it and press ok, the GUI stalls a bit and the check is removed.
Installing updates from the wsus server works. The client is a 2012 R2 install.
From Windows updatelogs, it is clear the client attempt to connect to <HTTPS://sls.update.microsoft.com/SLS/{9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}/x64/6.3.9600.0/0?CH=521&L=en-US&P=&PT=0x7&WUA=7.9.9600.17404> when I try to enable
Microsoft update
This is not allowed by firewall/proxy, so this obviously fails.This server is located in a secured vlan and should not have access to internet in any way. I suppose client should fetch the .cab from wsus?

I can set the cab path myself if I use
vbscript to register the microsoft update service, but I don't know which cab url I should use for this.
I've used the same install image before, but I think all servers had access to internet (via proxy) when doing the first windowsupdate. this is no longer allowed. the image is an MDT installation image that attempt to enable the Microsoft update setting
with vbs as described in link above.
Please advice how to resolve this issue.
MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP

I was not aware if that, thanks! Is this documented somewhere?
Well, no, not really. Presumably there is no need to do so. The two environments use completely different classification methodologies which have almost zero relationship to one another.
The issue is this is checked for in the server security audit, all servers have this setting, but this one hasn't. I will need to be able to motivate/proof this point to our security department.
I would say your security department maybe needs to do some of their own self-education on how Microsoft's patch management system has worked for the past twenty years, and more recently, how it has worked with SUS/WSUS for the past eleven years. This is not
new stuff! :-)
Also odd is that on this server I only have one service in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RequestedAppCategories.
Don't really know much about what's in the ~\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate key either as it's also irrelevant to the WSUS environment.

Need advice for deploy adf web fusion application created in Jdev11gTp4

hello,
need advice for deploy adf web fusion application created in Jdev11gTp4
and it will be nice if you have helper sites
thanks
greenApple

Is there something specific in TP4 that you want to use TP4 - as John suggests, it might be an idea to use the full production release (11g). As for resources for information you can check out
[Jdev Home|http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev] this page contains links to the developers guides and various how tos etc etc. The follownig page is also useful and is focused more to those who are less familiar with Java

Hope this helps and maybe if you can be more specific we can better guide you.

Advice for Upcoming App Spree

Thanks for asking those questions; I knew I was bound to leave some information out. Unfortunately, I don't have verifiable income during the summer, but I did during the school year, and I will during this upcoming school year. The only reason I was denied for the Discover CLI was because my history was so short (didn't even have a FICO score yet). I always PIF. I didn't even think to include that because that just seems like it should go without question with the way I view credit haha. Anyway, yeah I always plan to PIF with any credit cards. As far as getting my other FICOs, is there any free way? Just the whole reason I'm into credit cards is to save money (rewards now and lower interest on loans in the future), so paying for anything credit related kind of contradicts why I do this stuff. I do plan to get a Citi Double Cash in the future, and then I'll have a monthly EQ FICO score as well. I have looked at all of the Capital One cards, but none of them are really rewards leaders. Because I'm mostly just interested in the very best cards for me and Capital One triple pulls, I'm not really interested in them. As far as the plausibility of getting these cards, I think that if I applied for only one of the them (except maybe the Fidelity), I would be approved because I've seen many thin, clean files approved for AmEx cards, seen people with only 6 months of credit history approved for the Freedom despite Chase saying that they like to see a year of history, and the Sallie Mae seems to be geared towards students or recent graduates, so it makes sense that thinner files get approved for the Sallie Mae card. Anyway, I could be totally wrong about any of this, but I think that I stand a decent chance for these cards on their own, but applying in the right order might be key to getting hopefully at least 3.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm definitely a bit worried about having a successful app spree and then Barclays closing my account because of too many recent accounts. I was under the impression that the charge cards are easier to get approved for than the revolvers, and the PRG is a charge card while the ED is a revolver. Either way, I don't really see the point of applying for cards just because I am more likely to get approved for them. I'm more interested in applying for cards because their rewards fit my spending habits. This same logic goes for why I don't intend to apply for a Capital One card. Also, as far as feasibility of my approval for these cards, here are a few relevant links so that we hopefully don't have to talk that much about that on this thread:Sallie Mae approval with 9 months history and a 642 TU FICOSallie Mae and Chase Freedom approval with 8 months history and a 707 TU FICOFidelity Amex approval with 9 months history, 7 months AAoA, 723 EQ FICO, and 741 TU FICOAmex ED approval with 6 months history and 696 EXAmex BCP approval with 6 months historyAmex PRG approval with 7 months historyAmex BCE approval with 9 months historyAmex BCE and Chase Freedom approval with 8 months historyChase Freedom approval with similar profileChase Freedom approval with short history No offense, but if you search enough for what you want to hear, you will find it... I know you are not opting for the charge cards, but it made me think, how many teens/young adults need a charge card...Which made me think further, it would be great because there is a less chance of accumulating cc debt! Something to think about. How much money do you spend a month that can be put on credit cards? What are your 1, 5, and 10 year credit goals? I did check credit pulls database (which is a gamble anyway) and the amex prg had lots of approvals even for scores lower than yours. Go for it. I really dont care for that salliemae card. #1 because it is with barclays. Plus, their rewards cap seems kind of low. But yeah, it would be a geat card for a student especially for bookstore/amazon and you can have the percent deposited into upromise or pay interest on student loans (as I am sure you already know!).
Anyway, did you check the chase approval site? I would apply for amex first. If you dont get approved, call in for a recon for a different product. I think you will be just fine with whichever card you select. I would apply for chase second. And Salliemae 3rd. Only because the first two have the most room to grow with you and therefor seem to be the priority to me. My reply doesnt have much advice, but hopefully it will bump it to the top so others will chime in!

Over the years I have had many ISP and email addresses - but now we have finally gone almost fully virtual...
I have a live login and MS ID 4 my SkyDrive account but I only use my MS touch with 8.1, SkyDrive and office 365 for mobility.
And I still like to backup to my own server!!!
What would be good is if I can put all the software licenses and product keys of the software and keep a record of my mac addresses for hardware and even static IP's in a file or a secure location within the MS online store.
That's where MS wants me to get my computing needs from in future and I will always be able to retrieve it in future but what about the $$$$$ I have spent on software, hardware and applications prior to now???
I know u guys love 2 collect data 4 marketing analysis,
4 example I have an old PC that is still running a server from last century - if you knew about it a simple script would allow you to offer upgrades or at least relevant MS products - UNLIKE the rubbish adds I just turn off or tune out
now...
Why cant I add products previous online email purchases into the 1 MS live ID account where I can keep it together? If you make that available I don't have to have separate steam accounts, EA game accounts, ASUS and adobe accounts etc
etc.
What has brought me 2 this is I was looking for my office pro 2007 disks to rebuild a HOME USE ONLY windows 7 laptop (NO touch screen so 8.1 is no benefit at all)
I HAVE 4 Genuine PRODUCT KEYs for Office 2007 BUT EVERY TIME I WENT TO DOWNLOAD the software - regardless of the key I used - I got the error message: We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.•The Office 2007 Product Key

That's crap - This is a clean brand spanker install of Win7 and there was nothing b4 I put the oem drivers from Toshiba back on.
I looked at dozens of support pages and forum blogs and tried for hours to get a copy to download - including incognito and other logins but because my default PC name is also my MS Windows live ID the same error was repeated.
I keep away from the non MS sites for these things and with good reason - there were heaps of similar users with the same issue or very close to it that had downloaded from a supposed MS copy from eValue or digital river etc and the next
thing was total corruption of the OS.
EVENTUALLY I found a LIVE MS chat on a support site in the US and she gave me a link to a slightly older version which will need updating and some reg edit changes but so far, so good.
The point is - what a crock !
I should be able to just keep all my software, drivers, updates, service packs, and versions that I have upgraded in the MS store.
If Microsoft aren't going to support XP or Office 2003 and eventually 2007, vista & Windows7 not far behind??? then that's still no excuse for them to put these restrictions and limits when I OWN my copy of the software!!
Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???
