So what's the consensus on 3.5?

Is the upgrade worth the $99 or does it cause more problems than it solves?

I cannot speak from personal experience as I am still on 3.0 (for reasons too complicated to mention here).
However, most of the people who have made the change have said it is a really worthwhile improvement.
You will need to upgrade to Tiger first, so you might want to hang on for Leopard - and who knows - FCE 4.0 ?

  • So What Is The Consensus On iDVD 08 ?

    I have done a search but can't find the answer.
    As with every piece of hardware and software there are people complaining about various problems. However, being optimistic (today!) I am prepared to believe that iDVD 08 works well usually.
    So what do the "Top Users", who presumably don't have many issues, think about 08 ?
    Is it generally an evolutionary improvement on the previous versions or are there any niggles that didn't occur previously ? What improvements do you find most useful ?
    I will shortly be getting iLife 08 and want to know what to expect - I do believe, for instance, that most people regard iMovie 08 as a disaster for those interested in serious video editing.
    Ian.

    This is merely a suggestion. You can take it or leave it. Normally I do not steer folks away from iLife'08. But in your own situation which apparently is similar to my own in that I too am working from a G4 processor along with apple's pro apps as well as i-apps (just like you apparently)..... I simply chose to purchase an earlier version of FCP and DVDSP instead (unopened apple original CD's I found on ebay for pennies on the dollar).
    It was cheaper than buying the latest and greatest software and it works perfectly on my own G4 733 Digital Audio. Much more predictable to work within pro apps while maintaining professional results from start to finish as opposed to hitting a brick wall in failed attempt/s to get pro apps to function flawlessly within iDVD'08 (even tho the latter is also possible most of the time).

  • What is the consensus regarding AMM

    Hi I am running a test database on AIX and have just upgraded from 10.2 to 11.2
    When i created my database using DBCA i set the SGA to 512 mb. When i upgraded to 11g it said the minimum was 624mb which i increased it to.
    I have just had a message in the alert log : ORA-12751: cpu time or run time policy violation but cant see any issues.
    Anyway after looking at various different sites I decided to switch from using ASMM to AMM. What is the general concensus regarding AMM? How do most be manage the SGA- ASMM, AMM or manually?Am i right in thinking i no longer have to worry about changing any parameters in the SGA now?
    Many thanks for any feedback

    I have it running in both of my 'major' databases that I'm primarily responsible for:
    Exadata V2 (Linux) - AMM enabled - memory target/max = 40Gb, SGA max = 40Gb, PGA not set, shared pool not set, buffer cache not set - runs perfectly
    11.2.0.3 (running on AIX) - AMM enabled - memory target/max = 15Gb - for this one, we had to explicitly set minimum values for PGA, SGA, buffer cache, shared pool (and subpools)
    If I let Oracle have complete control on the AIX-hosted database, the performance was quite wild. Not sure whether that's because of the O/S or just because of the type of workload. I would suggest setting minimum values for the key components and then allowing Oracle to decide what gets any overhead at any particular time.

  • So what's the consensus:  10.5.2 better than .1, or worse?

    I know some have had problems, but overall is there a consensus as to whether .2 is an improvement or a step backwards?
    Thanks!

    Klaus,
    The only thing I did different was downloading all of the updates (except iLife stuff) and installing manually. (Prokit45, 10.5.2, LeoGraphics update)
    Seems like many are having the slowdown problem, I don't know what I did that would leave my system in good working order while most are having a slowdown problem. This machine uses an ethernet connection, not wireless. Also, I have Spotlight set to minimum usage, Dashboard disabled and -Journaling is off- on all of my drives.

  • So What's the Consensus on USB Interfaces with Logic?

    Digidesign's new ELEVEN Rack has a coreaudio driver and therefore can be used as a main interface. This is good news for those who like to use both Logic and Pro Tools, perhaps depending on the project, or to track in Logic and mix in PT.
    But, Digi has chosen to make the Eleven Rack a USB interface. Some people on the DUC are not pleased about this and claim this will mean low track counts and all manner of horrors. I worry about it too. Digi went from the Mbox which was USB to the MBOX II Pro which is Firewire, and Ensemble and all the other top interfaces are firewire. Digi's answer seems to be that Firewire is going the way of the buffalo.
    Does anyone have any real data on whether a USB interface will result in poorer perfomance?
    Thanks
    Tom

    As FW is approx 5x faster than USB It will mean lower track counts, but as the Eleven rack is a guitar processor, I'm sure Digi aren't marketing it as a multitrack audio interface.
    FTR: I went and had a listen to the Eleven and I wasn't all that impressed to be honest, the new Logic amp designer and pedals are far more realistic.

  • So what's the consensus: update to adode reader 9.4.4?

    Good idea? There's so much skepticism about the company, I'm being cautious…

    Run the update. It will be patched against the latest whatever, until, in short time, you'll just have to run another update when the latest critical vulnerabiity is announced.
    I only use Reader occasionally for printing. Most PDFs will open in Preview just fine. My default PDF app is Preview. The new Reader 10 is supposed to be more secure. Have no idea if this is really so. Not sure if it will run on 10.5, but you could look into it.
    This is from another board:
    The best way to secure Reader is to uninstall it. This dramatically reduces the likelihood with which it can be exploited. If that's impractical, I recommend setting the following preferences under Adobe Reader --> Preferences:
        •    JavaScript: uncheck "Enable Acrobat JavaScript" and uncheck "Enable menu items JavaScript." Put a check mark next to "Enable global object security policy."
        •    Multimedia Trust (legacy): click the radio button for "Trusted documents" and uncheck "Allow multimedia operations." Then click the radio button for "Other Documents" and again uncheck "Allow multimedia operations."
        •    Security (Enhanced): check "Enable Enhanced Security."
        •    Trust Manager: uncheck "Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external applications." Next, under "Internet Access from PDF files outside the web browser" click the button labeled "Change Settings," then select "Block all web sites" and click OK.
        •    Finally, under "Identity," feel free to lie (although you can't change your login name).
    When you're done, click OK, quit Adobe Reader, and lock its preference file.

  • Stream 7 - Upgrade to Windows 10 now or wait a while? What's the consensus?

    At this point, I'm wondering if it is recommended to upgrade now or to wait. I tried installing Windows 10 yesterday and the installation failed during the last stages and reverted to 8.1. I'm wondering if it had something to do with the amount of disk space (yesterday, I had less than 8gb. Today (after some cleaning), I have 11.8gb. Also, I'd rather not have to deal with driver issues and other things mentioned in other threads. Can I get some insight?

    Seems to be just slightly less snappy with Windows 10 vs 8, especially when it comes to complicated websites that embed video. But the charms menu is much improved, so much easier to turn off/on bluetooth and lots of other stuff. I am trying to figure out how to put an IE11 window because I prefer that over Edge (no adblock list).  I've never had the headphone buzz issue with my tablet, so others can chime in if upgrading to Windows 10 solves this for them or not.  For most people and even for myself eventually before the month is up, if you are happy with 8.1, stick with it, I don't see where this really changes anything for now.  P.S. - One thing, I didn't have much stuff installed but after installing Windows 10, I had 1 gb of memory left. So if your 8.1 tablet has a lot of stuff stored on it or not much storage space, I would recommend saving your stuff to an SD card before upgrading, you might not have enough drive space. 

  • What is the brand of optical disk medium to use with mac MINI super drive?

    TDK brand of blank optical disk medium on my mac (super drive) is not reading the optical disk I put in there to burn to. The genius at the apple store put in a Memorex brand of optical disk medium and it worked. What is the consensus for buying blank medium that will work with the .mac MINI super drive it seems TDK doesn't work? What is the brand and type to go with?

    You need a regular optical digital cable, often called a Toslink, with a 3.5 mm miniplug adapter on the Mac mini end. The port is a combo port. When you insert the optical cable's miniplug into the port, because it is a tiny bit longer than a regular 3.5 mm miniplug, it activates the digital audio. Usually the port's output is analog by default.

    What's the gneral consensus on this: using the gmail app vs. setting it through "mail, contacts, calendars" on the iphone $?

    Sorry for the spelling/grammar issues, below is the after coffee correct question:
    What's the gneral consensus on this: using the gmail app vs. setting it up through "mail, contacts, calendars" on the iPhone 4? On another note, I've read that gmail and Apple mail don't play nice in the playground together and I can confirm that by trying to use it in Apple mail on Lion 10.7.4. I read a bit of an outdated article in which the iphone4 user set up icloud, even I know that, exchange for google contacts and calendars for sync purposes and then chose "other" and named it Gmail for Apple mail something to that effect and it played nice with Apple mail, thoughts or should I replost this under another category?

  • In retrospect... what is the vote now?

    Generics are evil!
    If you are into history, here's a two year old thread, from which nothing I have seen has changed the basic concern of mine...
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=417410&start=0&tstart=0
    Wonder what the consensus is now?
    best, etc.

    Which means you can guarantee the type will becompatible with the derived type. Are you suggesting
    that because you don't think they are that useful is
    a good reason to not have them? A lot of designs can
    use them and use them well.
    If a selftype is delcared in a field or as a method
    parameter, the only valid compadible assignment to
    that type would be this (or some value returned by a
    self type) since you would not know what your actual
    implementing class is.
    I simply do not see how you can get new instances of
    this's class without using clone.I don't know why you assume that self-types are only related to retuning things. Generic parameters are also used with method arguments and variables and parameters to members.
    That seems to me to be an incredibly stupid thing todo. Generally, the first thing done with the
    reference returned from clone is cast it to the type
    of the Object that returned it. I can't imagine a
    situation where I'd want Foo.clone() to return a Bar
    where Bar isn't a subtype of Foo.
    Ok, sure it is, but code currently can do it, so we
    can't go back and change it.Why do you think having self-types would require us to change the signature of clone()?
    Why even have arrays?To implement ArrayList. They are here now, and they
    are here to stay, the way they are built make them
    generic incompadible.
    Did I give the impression that I didn't know whythis was the case?
    Why did you bring it up then?I was answering a question about what the problems exist with generics. It was in this thread. You can read it if you are still not clear.
    Some other solution. One that has true runtimesupport.
    You are more likely to not need runtime support then
    you would be. You can add in your own runtime support
    if you really need to, but the current design adds no
    overhead to code if it were generified.Wrong. There is runtime support in the current implementation that does add overhead. It's just not very useful.
    Then my idea of how generics are not a complete
    solution is quite a bit different from yours.
    E.g.
    1. Why is method only generified on the class it was
    defined, and not on its parameters? Its that generic
    parameters are fixed, you could declare a Method
    class for invoking all methods with 1 parameter, but
    you would need another class for 2 parameters.An interesting idea. It doesn't seem to be something many people are concerned with.
    2. I would like a way to declare a method that takes
    in an array with a speficied size.I guess you could frame that as generics. Interesting but not something I'm concerned about.
    3. I want a method parameter that takes in a
    Rectangle that will never change, or return a
    Rectangle that does not change, sure I could declare
    a class for a constant Rectangle, but I would need to
    declare classes for every class I wanted to use like
    that.This is definitely not generics. This is what most people who want the const keyword to be supported would like it to do. There are RFEs on this and have been since long before generics were developed.

  • What is the IDOC type for changing PO price in ECC from SNC?

    We have configured the consensus finding tolerance check for date and it is working. When we create confirmation from PO worklist by changing the price and the delivery date, it goes for manual approval if the date change is outside tolerance. Once the confirmation is approved by the buyer we are getting two Idocs in SAP. One is ORDRSP-ORDERS05. This one has the new price, but does not change the price in the PO. It only creates confirmation. The other one is  PORDCH-PORDCH02. This one does not have the new price. It only changes the delivery date in the PO line item. We want one single IDOC which will change price (if price is changed), change delivery date and create confirmation. is that possible? If yes, what IDOC type would that be?
    Thanks for your help.
    Soumen

    Hi Soumen
    Can you please check whether the below settings are available on ERP side
    SPRO-MATERIAL MANAGEMENT-PURCHASING-CONFIRMATIONS-SET UP CONFIRMATION CONTROL
    select your confiramtion control line
    lets say ZICH, select the confirmation sequence on left hand side
    for your order acknowledgement,XX
    check the field "Price"
    and give the allowed tolerance values in fileds
    Permitted Price Overrun in % (Inbound EDI/SOA)
    Permitted Price Shortfall in % (Inbound EDI/SOA)
    Now resend the data.... it will work
    ORDRSP-ORDERS05 should work this time
    Best Regards

  • What is the maximum bit rate for a short NTSC standard def DVD?

    I have about 30 minutes of content from FCP that I want to put on a DVD.
    At first I tried iDVD and had problems with burning (although I did somehow make one DVD). So I built the project on DVD SP and made a DVD. However, the iDVD version looked much better. I checked out the file sizes and saw that there was 2 gigs on iDVD and only 1.6 DVD SP. Then I discovered the encoding options on DVD SP and I was curious what is the recommended average and maximum bit rate should be for the highest quality, yet still works in most DVD players?
    Thanks.

  • What is the best option for storing my iphoto library on the cloud?

    I was curious as to what people are doing (other than backing up to external HD) for backing up the iphoto library?  Anyone using any cloud solution out there for storage?  What are some of the best options?  I have around 30,000 photos in my iphoto library.

    There is no good solution for storing the Library in the Cloud. The amount of data involved means that uploading or downloading is very, very slow. We do see posts on here from people trying to restore from a back up to the Cloud wondering if it's possible to speed up the download currently estimated in days. Running a Library from the cloud is just painfully slow - people have tried it and that is the consensus.
    However, as part of a comprehensive back up plan there is a lot to be said for backing up your Photos to the cloud. Not as good as backing up the whole Library, but as a "last line" you at least have your photos. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.

    AUR queries should be posted to the aur-general mailing list.
    As indicated in the thread linked by Karol above, it is permitted to append unsupported architectures to the arch array of a PKGBUILD that builds on officially supported architectures. That does not necessarily mean that we will allow packages that only build on unsupported architectures. This should be discussed on the mailing list. I have a vague memory of this coming up before and I think the consensus was that such packages would not be supported, but that consensus may have changed. Personally, I do not see a problem with such packages right now and I expect official supported to be extended in the future,  so I am in favor of allowing them.
    Packages that install pre-compiled binaries should be distinguished from normal packages with a "-bin" suffix. Such packages are permitted as long as they do not violate applicable licenses.

  • What is the best way to export a movie to avoid losing quality?

    I need to get a movie I made on a DVD somehow, but I seem to loose quality in color and overall sharpness when I take it into iDVD and burn a disc. This movie will be projected very large, so I need the best quality possible. What is the best way to export it for the highest quality?

    There's been a ton of testing reported here on this issue, but I don't think there is a consensus on the "best" method. For one thing, it depends on what you're starting with.
    In my experience with DV video and hi-res photos, it was tough to beat the result I got exporting "large" to the media browser. (Because of my DV footage, HD was not an option.) This made a H.264 file. I could only get a slight improvement by exporting via Quicktime to a H.264 file at double the resolution of the "large" file made by iMovie. Of course this took longer to export and for iDVD to encode. Overall, I'd say it wasn't worth it for the barely visible improvement. That improvement was only detectable in the slides, BTW, not in the DV video.
    Many recommend exporting to AIC, which should be an essentially lossless export out of iMovie. This is what the share to iDVD supposedly does, I got poor results with any flow that used an AIC file exported out of iMovie for use by iDVD. Never figured out why, but my results were always better if I compressed to H.264 on the way out of iMovie.
