[solved] dvdrip creates too small files

hi,
The output .avi files have not the selected bitrate / size.
The Setteings in dvdrip are:
Bitrate: 3422
BPP: 0.581
Target-Size: 1100MB
the dvdrip.info file contains the right informations:
[Video]
Video format: PAL
FPS: 25.000
Size: 640 x 368
Video bitrate (kbps): 3422
Video codec: xvid4
2-pass-encoded: yes
Fast resizing: no
Deinterlacer filter:
Antialiasing filter: no Antialiasing
but the file is only ~740MB with 2230 kbps.

Ah, ok.
Is there any option to keep aspect ratio?
handbrake --help shows no such Option.
Keeps handbrake the aspect ratio by default?
I mean, when I use the --width option will handbrake keep the aspect ratio and calculate the correct height?
EDIT:
I found the answer in the HandBrake forums:
http://handbrake.m0k.org/forum/viewtopi … 369b7ec4f4
You get it by default in the CLI. Only turns off if you specify both width and height.
EDIT:
handbrake stops with ''Segmentation fault''. I opened another thread for it.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32061
Problem is solved.
I like HandBrake. It's fast with, IMHO, good quality.
Thanks for the tip!
EDIT:
No ideas about the dvdrip problem?
I removed dvdrip and all the configs, reinstalled it, reinstalled transcode and xvidcore; but the target files still doesn't match the selected target size.
A week ago it has worked.
So maybe I'll restore my last System Backup (from April, 12) and report the results here.
EDIT:
Seems to be related to the settings / config of the used video codec and the input file(s).
I have 2 movies on the DVD. The first one is encoded with correct target size (1100MB).
I tried it with dvdrip/transcode and also with HandBrake using xvid and ffmpeg/lavc.
The second is not encoded with selected target size. Using Handbrake with lavc as encoder, I noticed this message from lavc after the first pass:
Using all of requested bitrate is not necessary for this video with these parameters
I found this in the ffmpeg-devel list
Another thing: I just now changed the phrase:
"Using all of requested bitrate is not possible"
...to...
"Using all of requested bitrate is not necessary"
The former implies lavc is deficient in not doing what the user wants,
which isn't the case.
With B-frames, the PSNR is about the same, but note that the bitrate is
much lower. lavc printed a notice about that: "Using all of requested
bitrate is not necessary for this video with these parameters." The
reason, here, is that lavc uses higher quantizers to encode B-frames,
and, hence, a lower bitrate. With this clip, 7000 kbits/sec is so high
that lavc can't reallocate the saved bitrate by lowering the quantizers
of enough non B-frames--once all the I- and P-frames have a quantizer of
2, the minimum allowed, the rest of the bitrate cannot be used.
So I guess it's not a problem of dvdrip, but depends on the settings of lavc.
Since the file xvid creates is smaller than target size too, I guess it's a similar thing, but don't know...
I use the default settings, since I don't know anything about these PSNR, B, I and P frames.
However, I'll set the topic to solved; cause it's not a problem of dvdrip.

[SOLVED] Java Font Too Small in OpenBox

I usually use Cinnamon, but decided to give OpenBox a whirl again. I am encountering a problem with OpenBox and the size of fonts in Java apps. I'm using the Oracle JDK, not OpenJDK.
These first screenshots show the font on OpenBox being too small:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob1.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob2.png
As you can see, the fonts used for the controls is super tiny. As can be seen from the second example, the font can be configured in the editing portion through the applications. But the controls themselves remain too small.
When I log into the SAME account, but use Cinnamon, the fonts are fine. Reference:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob3.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob4.png
So the only difference in these screenshots are the fonts. And the only difference is that I am using Cinnamon vs OpenBox. I;ve searched Google and the Wiki and the Forums, but I'm either not using the proper search terms or just overlooking the results. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Also, I am using the fontconfig-infinality stuff. I don't think that matters and again, Cinnamon works and OpenBox has too small a font. And the problem is only on Java apps, not other things.
Thanks in advance.

I've done more digging. I have this in my /etc/profile:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Well, this screws up gdx-setup (the first screenshot). If I only use
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Then gdx-setup looks fine. Netbeans was still messed up either way. I did find that it seems Netbeans has issues with the GTK+ look and feel on non-GTK platforms. So I reverted NetBeans to the (ugly) Metal theme and now the fonts are bigger.
So I am marking this as solved. It seems that the GTK+ look and feel is just not happy on non-GTK+ platforms. I guess that makes sense in a way.

(Solved) Openbox font too small

I've removed gnome and installed openbox, and now my fonts are too small. My firefox webpage fonts are fine, tint2 fonts are ok as well. But I think some leftover gnome setting is affecting it. I deleted .gnome2, but it's not working. What should I do?
EDIT: Fixed! Didn't think of Xorg at first

[SOLVED] Partition (/root too small)

I have a 7gig partition for my /root ...unfortunately this seems too small... Are there any safe / easy ways to beef that partition up..(say to 15gig) without going through the whole install processa gain.....I have plenty of free space on my main partition....hopefully I can borrow some room from that...

Ehm, do you mean your root-Partition with the mount-point "/" or the home-directory of the user "root" with the mount-point "/root"? If it's the second one I'd reccommend to you not to save this much data in your root-account. If it's the first one, Gparted is your choice. Don't forget to backup before and take your time, resizing partitions can be very slow.
Edit: Oh I see that your problem is solved now, so my post is obsolete now...

[SOLVED] systemd: create a service file that loads a kernel module

Hi, I have a daemon that I want to convert to a service unit of systemd.
The daemon tests if a module is loaded, and if not, modprobes it.
I do not want to load that module at boot up, only if the service is launched.
Is there a "proper" way to add something like RequiredModule=xxx to a service unit?
Thanks!

Maybe simply run modprobe with ExecStartPre. The command succeeds even if the module was already loaded.

Output of video to a smaller file

Hi all
I am a composer, and do not own FC. The short film I am scoring is 30 min in length, and the PE is working in FCP. The file she outputs is approx. 7 GB in size. I am trying to get her to op a smaller file - one that is under 1 GB, so she can send it to me via yousendit, or something similiar.
There +has to+ be a way to create a smaller file when the op is done. I am thinking lower res, lower bitrate - something. Understandably, the quality will be decreased, but that is ok - I can work with a file that is of lesser quality.
Can someone please tell me what I should tell her to do to op a smaller file? In the prefs, in the op dial box...there must be a setting somewhere.
Any help will be appreciated - thank you!

H.264 - with a TC burn in.
If the original file dimensions will not get you a 1 GB size, scale them down to 1/2 size.

Why the files my program create are created twice each file double ? And why sometimes the files size are too small ?

My program is using Queue of type Uri to create Queue of urls and then i'm using webbrowser to navigate each Uri from the Queue in it's turn and get the url(html) source content and save it to the hard disk.
The problem is sometimes the text files on the hard disk are small like 90KB or 60KB and sometimes they are as they are suppose to be 300KB or 200KB.
This is a button click event where i'm calling two methods:
private void toolStripButton3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
GetHtmls();
CheckQueue();
This is the GetHtmls method code:
private Queue<Uri> myUrls = new Queue<Uri>();
private bool isBusy = false;
private void GetHtmls()
for (int i = 1; i < 49; i++)
adrBarTextBox.Text = sourceUrl + i;
targetHtmls = (combinedHtmlsDir + "\\Html" + i + ".txt");
Uri targetUri = new Uri(sourceUrl + i);
myUrls.Enqueue(targetUri);
sourceUrl contain website address: http://www.tapuz.co.il/forums2008/forumpage.aspx?forumid=393&pagenumber=
And i'm adding to it the numbers and create the pages.
And add them to the Queue.
THen the CheckQueue method:
Uri uri;
private void CheckQueue()
if (isBusy)
return; // We're downloading some page right now, don't disturb
isBusy = true; // OK, let's get started
if (myUrls.Count == 0) // No more pages to download, we're done
isBusy = false;
return;
uri = myUrls.Dequeue(); // Get one URL from queue
getCurrentBrowser().Navigate(uri);
It suppose to Navigate to each Uri(html address) in the Queue.
And the browser document completed event:
private void Form1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
// If page loaded completly then do something
int urlnumber = uri.ToString().IndexOf("pagenumber=");
string number = uri.ToString().Substring(urlnumber + 11);
int num = Int32.Parse(number);
targetHtmls = (combinedHtmlsDir + "\\Html" + num + ".txt");
StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(targetHtmls);
writer.Write(getCurrentBrowser().DocumentText);
writer.Close();
isBusy = false; // We're done
CheckQueue(); // Check next page in queue
In the completed event i'm getting the page number and build the string for the text file then write the html source content to the text file.
In the end i have on my hard disk 48 text files.
The problems are:
1. Sometimes it seems like it's not finishing navigating to the current uri or maybe some other reason maybe server side problem and creating small size files with source content inside but not all the source content. Sometimes the text files size are each
file 99KB or 70KB and sometimes the size of them are about 300KB and 200KB and this is the right sizes 300KB 200KB.
2. The text files on my hard disk suppose to be 48 different files each file should contain the source if the html page of the 48 pages. But on my hard disk the 48 text files are duplicated for some reason.
This is the file on my hard disk:
Some of the files are 205KB 350KB 175KB and some of the files sizes are 85KB 94KB 35KB
Why some of the files it didn't navigated to the end or maybe didn't got all the source ?
And why it's making each second file the same like the one before ? It suppose to create 48 different files but i'm getting two identical files each navigation.

I solved it now.
This is what i did:
It's a bit slow process since i'm waiting for each page to be loaded into the webbrowser but it does the work.

Has anyone solved the problem of 'oop,file too small' when uploading iMovie project to Vimeo.

It's OK, I've cracked it with the help of my son.

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

ORA-22835: buffer too small when trying to save pdf file in LONG RAW column

Hi,
I get "ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (real : 125695, maximum : 2000)" when i trying to save a 120k pdf file in an Oracle Long Raw column using dotnet 4.0 and Entity FrameWork.
Dim db As New OracleEntities
Try
Dim myEntity = (From e In db.TEXTE _
Where e.TEXT_ID = txtTextId.Text _
Select e).Single
With myEntity
If txtTextypeId.Text <> "" Then
.TEXTYPE_ID = txtTextypeId.Text
Else
.TEXTYPE_ID = Nothing
End If
.TEXT_NUM = txtTextNum.Text
.TEXT_NAME = txtTextName.Text
.TEXT_DATE = dtTextDate.SelectedDate
If DocAdded Then
.TEXT_DOC = Document
ElseIf DocDeleted Then
.TEXT_DOC = Nothing
End If
End With
db.SaveChanges()
Document is an array of Byte and TEXT_DOC also (mapped to a long row column).
is it possible to increase the size of the buffer ? how may i do it ?
Thx in advance.
Regards.

Using a custom UPDATE or INSERT stored procedure for LONG RAW column with
exceed-limit data may still get the following error.
"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested".
One option is to use BLOB instead of LONG RAW in your table and regenerate your
data model from the table. Then using the default UPDATE or INSERT statement
(created by EF) should work.
The following will modify your LONG RAW column to BLOB column.
Disclaimers:
1. It's irreversible--you cannot modify BLOB back to LONG RAW.
2. I have not tried that when there are huge data in LONG RAW column.
So be careful.
alter table <your_table_name> modify <your_long_raw_type_column> blob;

File printing and icons for folders in Bridge CS5 - too small to read

Got CS5 and am trying to use Bridge. The folders are too small to read and the print with them too small. The slider at the bottom of the page enlarges the space but the files and printing stay the same size. If I open one the images will enlarge with the slider but I don't want to waste time opening each file to see what is in them. I want to be able to read wha the file is and open the right one first try.
Tried calling "tech support" Those jackasses can't speak English. On hold for 3 hours overall after getting someone, getting cut off and having to call again. I hope Pakistan nukes India and solves that problem.
When I finally got through the guy told me my Photoshop copy was not registered. Funny, it was last week when it had problems. Then I try changing the pasword and it says it did it, but won't accept it.
I hate computers.
So, anyone know how to get this damn probram to make the folders and printing big enough to read without my having to get up to the screen with a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes? The screen is a 22inch graphic arts monitor and I don't have this problem with any other programs. Not Breezebrowser, Not Auto Pano Pro, not Photo Mechanic. Just Bridge with this overpriced and overhyped photoshiz crap.

Small, and uncustomizable, fonts has been a com
plaint in PhotoShop also.
Send in a bug report, they do read those, and maybe if enough users complain they will modify the program.

How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files in Cyrillic.
I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I am now asking for my
money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
not successful.

Host Agent Service critical - Paging file is too small for this operation to complete

Hi all,
at the moment I have the problem that some of my hosts get in the errorstate critical in VMM 2012 SP1.
The error details in VMM are:
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the hostname server: : .
WinRM: URL: [http://hostname:5985], Verb: [ENUMERATE], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_Service], Filter: [select * from Win32_Service where Name="scvmmagent"]
The paging file is too small for this operation to complete (0x800705AF)
Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server hostname. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If hostname is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed
and running.
On the host i cannot connect to FailoverCluster or Hyper.V Manager. After a restart of the host the Problem is gone and the System is working without any Problems for some days.
The paging file is set to 4GB and the OS is Server 2012.
The hosts have 192GB of RAM.
The configuration of the pagfile didn't change from Windows 2k8R2 to 2012.
I didn't find any Errors in the eventlog. Do you have any idea where to check for that?
Thanks,
Patrick

The hotfix didn't solve the Problem for me either. The WMI crash came again after a couple of weeks.
An additional problem with VDS was detected and the following hotfix was installed:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2884597/en-us
Also a problem with Clusterservice was found, sadly MS is tagging this handle leak as "won't fix".
Nevertheless one WMI Instance is still growing...
We are testing a hotfix that so far looks promising. Its a private hotfix only right now. But the file is listed as KB494704 you may want to ask your support engineer to look into it.

How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.
