So, how do i make a career out of this?

so i just recently made a dvd from scratch from start to finish with Adobe Production Premium CS4. and i erally enjoyed the authoring part (encore) and was wondering, what all is invollved in persuing a career in DVD/Blu-Ray Authorization? After i graduated highschool, i was pretty much decided to go into music production, but due to physical limitations of mine (mainly with my ears) it seems it may turn out to be more trouble than rewarding to persue that as a career. i had never even thought about DVD/Blu-Ray Authoring until i saw just how much was involved in the process, and it seemed liek a very enjoyable career to persue. so what all would be involved in this? is there a specific degree i should persue? or is it just one of those you got , you got it things, with no education available? and furtehrmore, is Encore the industry standard for this? or is there a more widespread program the big guys use? i'm just wndering what i should start checking out, asking for, and that kind of thing. thanks

This is probably better suited for the DVD Lounge, but it does not see much traffic anymore. Were I one of the MOD's, I would probably move this to the Video Lounge, as video production and authoring go hand in hand. Just want to mention that, in case your post "goes missing." It'll probably be in the Video Lounge, which sees a lot more traffic, than the old DVD Lounge does.
That said, here are some of my thoughts:
Though I have several, I'm not sure that a degree program would be that beneficial, unless you were looking to join say a corporate production department.
I would spend some time reading and studying outside of a formal academic framework.
The first two books, that I can recommend are Jim Taylor's DVD Demystified. Here is an ARTICLE linking to his site. The next is Jeff Bellune's The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, Focal Press, ISBN 0-240-52004-1. Do not let the name turn you off. Everything in that book will apply to Encore well beyond EncoreDVD 2.0. Learn everything in that book, and you will be on your way.
Next, Designing DVD Menus, by Michael Burns & George Cairns, CMP Books, ISBN 1-57820-259-0, will give you some wonderful ideas on Menu design, and implementation. Many of the examples in it are from the music DVD industry, with productions for bands like U2 and Cold Play. it is not specific to any one authoring app, but is more general, with great ideas, tips and tricks.
There are many applications for DVD/BD today, from the music industry, to corporate presentations, to Projects for the consumer who wants to present family albums, etc., and of course the motion picture industry. One of the areas, that is easiest to concentrate on, especially early in one's career, is the production of old VHS and home movies into DVD/BD discs to give to family members. This is bot a cottage-industry, as well as a more commercial endeavor. In Phoenix, there are several production houses that specialize in this. It has replaced the photo labs. A good start would be to offer your services to friends, or their families. Then, and with a "show reel" BD in your hand, you could approach some of the service providers, for employment.
If you have any ties in the music industry, they would be useful, as emerging bands and musicians are using DVD/BD in place of the older "demo tapes." One contributor here, Neil Wilkes, works heavily in the music industry. A good day's reading would be to just pull up his replies in this forum and read. Lot of great technical info in those. I am sure that he would have some great tips for you, as well, if he drops by the thread. Another great contributor is Jeff Bellune (the above noted author). Jeff works in the video production industry, and will have some good input. Again, just reading his replies to many threads will be an education in its own right. When I first started with Encore, I spent about two days hers, just reading everything in the forum. Most of my questions were answered already. Though it does not read like a good novel, there is so much info here, that to ignore it would be a shame.
Good luck, and hope that some of the others (mentioned, and not) drop by the thread.

If your job and life depends on it, many consoles support ANSI escape characters; the problem is that they are ignored from System.out.
It can be done with JNI:
http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0469.html
on linux, the command would be "echo -e"
Again, I say this if your job and life depends on it. It ain't pretty. (well, the colors are maybe; the code isn't.)

GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

Your problem isn't the archive table! I tried to remove the 2 selects from the select-clause. Furthermore you have a lot of nested loops in your explain, which is a performance-killer. Try getting rid of them, perhaps use /*+ USE_HASH(?,?) */.

How do I get a date out of this: 14:35:42.0868394-08:00 ???

I am receiving an XML document from a person who generates it via a .Net page. This is supposed to be a date/time object. In his .Net code he uses the object just fine. I have asked that he translate it to something more standards like {ts '2012-03-01 15:59:45'} but he won't and said I should just figure it out... Nice, huh?
Does anyone have any idea how I can get a date out of this value:
14:35:42.0868394-08:00 ???
I know that the last part (-08:00) refers to Pacific Standard Time. I am pretty sure that the 14:35:42 represents 2:35:42 PM. If that is correct, the 0868394 must represent 3/1/2012 (the day I ran the report).

I am receiving an XML document from a person who generates it via a .Net page. This is supposed to be a date/time object. In his .Net code he uses the object just fine. I have asked that he translate it to something more standards like {ts '2012-03-01 15:59:45'} but he won't and said I should just figure it out... Nice, huh?
Does anyone have any idea how I can get a date out of this value:
14:35:42.0868394-08:00 ???
I know that the last part (-08:00) refers to Pacific Standard Time. I am pretty sure that the 14:35:42 represents 2:35:42 PM. If that is correct, the 0868394 must represent 3/1/2012 (the day I ran the report).
-08:00 may indeed refer to the time zone. However, if you're expecting the date-time, then he is shortchanging you. What he has sent you is just the time in hours, minutes and seconds, with the seconds expressed in 7 decimal places.
You could just ignore the decimal places, and extract the time as follows
<cfset datetime_string = "14:35:42.0868394-08:00">
<cfset the_time = listgetat(datetime_string, 1, ".")>
<cfoutput>#the_time#</cfoutput>

Scrolling sidebar- can I make a template out of this?

scrolling sidebar- can I make a template out of this?

That's not possible (although a good idea). You can copy/paste a sidebar widget, though. So, create your base widget which will serve as your template, and then you can copy/paste it when needed throughout your iBook.

How to make a key out of this data?

Since no one replied to my last post, I'll give it another try. From an RTSP server I get two values, a key called rsaaeskey (342 bytes, without the line breaks):
yxKBocBgTii20n9nbKfYGyGhPqtosXuq8M99yU5/PzTVNmIUsUGlpD27u
cqN8eNFvmaO7cFVXeaMGaCfI5V+YNrd77xGQ+CUE0XFraXUvp4cF4aX1L

K3Z6FK7XVnfehYYJjRw7THMZzSvq7FtLB9QgulqQTJ3awJdwS0ACb1FkAand an initialization vector called aesiv (22 bytes):
zcZmAZtqh7uGcEwPXk0QeAThe data is obviously Base64 encoded. However, after decoding I don't know how to make a key out of it. Trying KeyFactory's generatePublic and generatePrivate methods result in an InvalidKeySpecException with any algorithm I've tried (RSA, DSA, DH).
I think this is a multi-prime RAS secret key (someone said they're 342 bytes long), but how do I generate a Java Key out of it?

The rsaaeskey, decoded to binary, is a binary array of 256 bytes. Using the DUMPASN1 tool we see that the bytes are not in ASN.1 BER or DER encoding.
C> openssl enc -base64 -d -in rsaaeskey.base64 -out test.bin
C> dumpasn1 rsaaeskey.bin
   0 CB   18: [PRIVATE 11]
            :   81 A1 C0 60 4E 28 B6 D2 7F 67 6C A7 D8 1B 21 A1
            :   3E ABIf it were encoded in ASN.1 BER or DER encoding it will start as a "SEQUENCE" or a "SET", not as an unrecognized data.
You need to check the exact specification of the protocol. (Are you using TSP - RFC 3161, or RTSP - RFC 2326?)

How do I make a "cut out"?

Way back in Photoshop 5 there was an easy way to make a cut out and save that part of the picture as a new one. How in the world do I do it with Photoshop Elements 9? I know I did it before but can not remember how?
Thanks

Select what you want, then copy it (ctrl+C in windows, command+C on a mac), then File>New from Clipboard. If you want to remove it from the original photo instead of just copying it, use ctrl+X/Command+X instead.

I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago. How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

Hello there,
I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3. I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself. The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod). I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs). Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync? Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
Thanks for any help you can give. Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC. However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How do I make a text stretch like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYI9tK3o2YY
Heroes word stretches at first. How do I make that? I've glowed it like there, and blurred out like that. But I can't figure out how to strech it.
Also, how do I create those red circles around "O" at 6th second, tutorial would be nice. I'm fairly new to this program.

I can't see what you've posted due to network restrictions where I work, but the text stretch sounds like stuff you could accomplish by a combination of animating the scale and some of the distort effects (like Bezier Warp, Corner Pin, Mesh Distort, etc.)
Red circles might be particles, shape layer(s), or Radio Waves depending on how it looks (again, I can't see it).
If you're new to AE, I highly recommend you start here first: [link] Go through all of the resources that page links to. It will get you up to speed on the basics of AE which will remove a lot of the frustration a newcomer can experience.

How do you make a loop out a sample without it having any stops?

I took a part of a song to make it into a sample. I looped it to make it longer for a song. However, there are awkward stops in the song now. How do I take this out? I already tried trimming the stops out but it just seems that it doesn't work.

How can we make consecutive left outer joins in Composite Provider?

Hi,
For the following design:
Sales order and Delivery DSO's are unions on field Delivery Number.
Invoice(Billing DSO) is having left outer join and joins with Sales Order DSO's based on the field Sales Order Number.
Shipment DSO has left outer join, joins with Invoice DSO based on Delivery number.
My doubt here in this composite provider design, is more than one consecutive left outer joins(in Invoice, shipment dso join) are allowed?
Since this is possible in SAP ERP through writing abap codes, I came across that this kind of modelling is not possible in BW on Hana through Composite provide kindly suggest how can we achieve this design in SAP BW On hana.
Regards,
Antony Jerald.
