Simple Encoding Question

First of all I apologize for the rookie nature of this
question. And I thank you guys in advance for any help you can give
me.
Setup: Macromedia Flash Professional 8 & Flash
Professional 8 Video Encoder on Windows XP
What I did: Took 3 seperate .MOV files and encoded them into
.FLV using Flash Professional 8 Video Encoder.
I then imported those into Flash and published the project
using the default Video container.
Problem: I can't hear any sound on playback.
I have verified the following;
1. Audio is working on my PC
2. Audio is working on the original files (When played
through QuickTime)
Can someone point me in the right direction in terms of
things to look for either A. during the encoding process or B. in
my publishing settings.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately there's no centralized location offering any that I
know of. You can create your own or import any that others have
exported, though.

Simple query question

hi all,
I have a XMLType table with one column - I have presently one row, in my column xmlsitedata I have stored one large xml file.The schema definition is given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
- <xs:element name="siteList">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="site" type="siteType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
- <xs:complexType name="siteType">
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="nameEn" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="nameFr" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="code" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
I have executed the query below:
select x.XMLSITEDATA.extract('/siteList/site/nameEn/text()').getCLOBVal() "stName" from wsitelist x;
and I get all english names of some 200 locations, however, there is 1 row selected and all names show up on one row. How do I split them into 200 or whatever rows?
Thanks,
Kowalsky

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

H1 footage & premiere deinterlace encoder questions.

Hi all,
I recorded some footage on a H1 in 60i HD (HDV). Used Premiere CS3 preset HDV 1080i 30 (60i) to capture it.
Capture question...
1. Should i buy cineform aspect or prospect HD to convert it before editing in premiere CS3?
Adobe media encoder questions...
2. Should i deinterlace the footage first by selecting "Deinterlace" in the from the output tab?
I was reading some adobe livedocs info that its a good idea to do so, even though canon says their 60i, 30f, 24f is as good as progressive.
3. should i choose "HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality" or "1440 x1080i 29.97 High Quality"?
The H1 captured output from tape is 1440x1080i. The encoder HDTV preset outputs 1920x1080, the other preset obviously outputs 1440x1080.

1. I use Cineform with great results and would indeed convert it to cineform BEFORE editing. It converts the 4:2:0 colorspace to 4:2:2 and is better to edit with, along with the fact it also coverts long GOP to almost a frame based compressin.
2. Cineforms method of "deinterlaceing" is different than Adobe's.
I have tried both. It seems that Cineforms is better. There is a LONG post under HDV to SD conversion. Read it.
But, it seems to me that if you keep it interlaced, motion seems smoother and more natural.
Adam Wilt did a good review of the HL and stated that the "F" frames are really progressive frames made from interlaced CCD's. The frames do lose a little vertical resolution.
I would either shoot in F and keep it there, or shoot in I and keep it there.

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

Encoding questions

Hello,
I have some encoding questions, my projects are PAL-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 25 5.1 channel. I export the videos in Windows Media, here come the questions.
What’s the difference between one and two encoding passes?
What does “Allow interlaced processing” do?
Thanks,
Enrique

Enrique,
Let's look at the 1-pass vs 2-pass Encoding.
When one sets the general parameters for Encoding and chooses 1-pass, the parameters are applied over the entire Timeline. This is the quickest method for Encoding and will be pretty good, based on the chosen parameters.
With 2-pass, the Encoding program will first look at the footage, in the scheme of the chosen parameters, but while doing so, will look for faster motion (both camera and subject) in the Timeline. Where it finds the motion, it will mark it for the highest setting in the parameters. The highest settings will be applied to the sections with the most motion, and the "average" will be applied to the rest. This yields a better Encoded file, especially where there is motion. This Encoding method takes longer, as the Encoder must look at all of the footage first to decide what to do, and then to apply the Encoding parameters.
The Encoders used by Hollywood, are usually at least 9-pass, and often quite a bit more. They are also run by experts, who do nothing but Encode all day, and are highly-paid for their work and their expertise. This is why the high motion footage in a commercial DVD will look smoother, than what we can accomplish, and the file will likely even be smaller. Those Encoding programs cost hundreds of thousands of $, so it's not like we could download one and use it, even if we were experts and could figure out the settings.
So to wrap up, a good Encoding engine will likely do a fair job when set to 1-pass, but especially with higher motion footage, likely a better job with 2-pass, and the only cost is time. Unless I am trying to Encode a quick reference file, I will always use multi-pass schemes, to get the best possible output, and just have a cup, or two, of coffee, while I wait. Also, there are better Encoders, than the ones included in our NLE's and authoring programs. Grass Valley's ProCoder is one that gets really high marks - this side of Hollywood.
Good luck,
Hunt

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

Simple Report Question

Post Author: scott123
CA Forum: General
I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report. My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"
sub reports so the user only has to see the data they
really want at the moment. Gives the report a nice clean look too.

A simple security question

I'm trying to write a simple self-signed applet that use a jca provider but thi exception "java.security.SecurityPermission putProviderProperty.BC" is thrown. if I use a policy file, it works fine but for a beginner user is not very useful intall a new policy file.
After this I tried to write a new self-signed applet that read a file and open a ServerSocket on port 21, and it work fine without a new policy file!
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????
PS
if u have an idea to resolve my problem without a policy file, tell me pls!!! IT'S URGENT!!

An applet works out of a so-called sandbox. The security restrictions can be overcome in one of two ways that you have tried:
1) by the use of a policy file, or
2) by signing the applet
So, to answer your question:
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????Since the applet is signed, there is no need for a policy file......if you tried to access the socket without signing the applet, you'll get the security exception!
;o)

A somewhat simple security question......

If a mac running macosx has two separate user accounts, lets say one admin and the other a standard user, or both admins or both standard users.....
Is it possible for a hacked/penetrated account on one of the users to affect or read any info from the other user on the same machine ?
What application is in question; Safari lets say.....

So, no functionality. What about that java applet I need to run 10 hours a day. Do you think I should go out of business over it? Or all my QT movies? Or, deprive myself of Flash, so I can't view the content of websites?
So, lets say you browse www.thissiteisinfected.com and have everything uninstalled (see above), and your smart enough to browse the web using a "STANDARD" user account and not the "ADMIN" user account.
Running from a standard user buys you nothing and adds additional steps. If you want to download an app, before you install, you will get a dialog warn you "XXXX is an application you downloaded from the internet..." So, you still have to authenticate. And what about *all the apps that need no authentication to install?*
You tell me how this website will inject crap into your MAC with the settings above???
There is no way to FORCE CODE into your browser if everything is disabled.
Tell me how it can "inject crap" into my "Mac" admin without my complicity.
I have bumped into a rouge antivirus website while on my macbook using safari.
All of a sudden a popup stated i had spyware, i could'nt close the box/window, I had to do a FORCE QUIT on SAFARI to get out of that page. It pretty much hijacked SAFARI.
This is nothing that can harm you. It is annoying having to force quit over it, but that is all.
My safari download settings place things on my desktop, sure enuff, there was a .EXE file sitting on my macbooks desktop.
Sure enough, your Mac can't do a thing with it.
NOTHING IS BULLETPROOF.
I agree but there are simpler ways to plant a rootkit you overlook, that have nothing to do admin accounts or ports. *The question is, who would want to?* Even if a black hat is randomly hunting for bank account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc. he would pass up a UNIX based system with good protections in place for an easier target.
In short, in a home environment, I could never recommend running from a standard user. Especially if they are on a router and/or using OS X firewall. (The exception being if you have kids and want to use parental controls.) I have no idea how this mantra about using a non-admin account started, there is no place where Apple recommends this.

Simple Query Question - How do I return the Last 3 records of a Table?

Question.
For example, I have a table that has 50 records.
How do I, specify in SQL to only return the last 3 records of the table.
Select a.* from table a where ????

I was just trying to show an example to a friend on
how something like this would work and if it was even possible. But it won't work. Here's a simple example:
SQL> create table emp
2 (id)
3 as
4 select object_id
5 from   all_objects
6 order by object_id;
Table created.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
     40830      55891
     40831      55892
     40832      55893So far, so good. These are the "last 3" rows inserted. Now delete a bunch of rows and insert 3 new ones:
SQL> delete emp where id < 40000;
33423 rows deleted.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into emp values (60000);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60001);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60002);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
      7410      55891
      7411      55892
      7412      55893Here's the problem. Even though the "last 3 rows" are 60000 - 60002, I still get the same ones as the first query.

File encoding question

Just attempting to open some file and read it to screen with BufferedReader and no encoding is handled anywhere...
I tried to save an html file to .txt and just use that as a test file, but yeah encoding was different from ???(the standard encoding I guess) and stopped at some point in the text file.
I did open notepad2 and say under encoding to be ANSI, read a bit on the forums and see UTF-16 mentioned a bit as well... So my question is just what type of encoding is a normal standard text file?

Hi,
rugae wrote:
So if I change my regional settings to Chinese or something and create a document with Chinese characters and attempt to read the file If you create the file with a editor, you save it with the encoding that is appointed in your editor. If you save it with java, use OutputStreamWriter with a defined charset (see http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/WriteToUTF8.html).
say with BufferedReader or just Scanner line by line with no implementation at all to handle different encodings, to console or another file is that going to give me correct outputs? (yes/no would be sufficient to clear it up for me...)Maybe ;-) Finally you have to know the encoding of the file or you have to guess it. If it is a HTML document, there are HTML headers that shows the encoding. If it is transported via HTTP then there is also a HTTP header Content-Type with a encoding declaration. Firefox shows this to the user with [Tools]-[Page Info]. http://www.beijing.gov.cn/ for ex is encoded in GB2312. Some Taiwanese pages may be encoded in BIG5. Encodings aka charsets are defined by IANA http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets.
If you know the encoding(charset) of the file, then read it with InputStreamReader and the right charset as shown in http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/ReadFromUTF8.html.
You can feel confident, if you have saved the file in UTF-(8 or 16) and opened it with the same encoding. UTF encodings are recommended.

Simple Mail question (couldn't find Mail forum)

Sorry to ask this on iCal forum, but I saw no forums dedicated specifically for regular Mail.
This is a simple question as I am a new Mac owner: I am used to using gmail for my email, and like this primarily because, given that it is a web based email application, I can access my email from any computer, anywhere, anytime.
Given my new Mac, I am interested in switching to the Mail application and was wondering if there is any way to check my email when I am away from my home computer? I think this would work with a mobileme account, but I have not obtained one as of yet.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Thanks Kosmoe...
One other question...if I do indeed create a new email account and use the Mail application for it, will I be able to check messages via the internet from any computer or only from my own?
And, if I want to be able to check from any computer, then it seems like getting a mobile me account would solve the problem, right? I am assuming mobile me email can be accessed from anywhere?
Sorry to be such a Mac newbie! But so far loving the whole Mac experience!
