Some SD popular TV shows now come in 5.1 surround sound!

I just realised that some Standard Definition (SD) popular TV shows like Prison Break and Heroes now come with 5.1 surround sound. Thanks to my sound equipment. Usually, I will see sound indicator displaying PCM. Was doing a preview of the two above mentioned shows and I noticed that the sound indicator switched to *Dolby Digital*. Went to my Mac and open the files with QuickTime and there a surround sound track in addition to the usual stereo track. Thought 5.1 surround sound was only for HD TV Shows. Cool!

Yes I agree, no matter how much fiddling in ITunes, Quicktime Pro, Audio MIDI Setup and Sound in Preferences, I cannot get the 5.1 sound directed to my sound system in the same way the DVD Player software that comes with Leopard does it.
Surely if it's an AC3 licensing issue, they've already licensed it for DVD Player, so iTunes on Mac should just work (like most Apple stuff does). Apple have had several years to fix this one, I can only assume it's marked as "Won't fix" for some unknown reason. I'm living in hope that they get it sorted for Snow Leopard (QuickTime X etc).

    Hi John,
    Sorry to tell but tab completion is still failing on my Windows XP/Indesign CS5 (caught by Indesign).
    I just saw your remark on coloring text, here is an example pulled out from Peter's book "ScriptUI for dummies":
    var w = new Window ("dialog");
    var s = w.add ("statictext", undefined, "Static");
    var e = w.add ("edittext", undefined, "Edit");
    var b = w.add ("button", undefined, "Button");
    // The window's backround
    w.graphics.backgroundColor = w.graphics.newBrush (w.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.5, 0.0, 0.0]);
    // Font and its colour for the first item, statictext
    s.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Helvetica", "Bold", 30);
    s.graphics.foregroundColor = s.graphics.newPen (w.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.7, 0.7, 0.7], 1);
    // Font and colours for the second item, edittext
    e.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Letter Gothic Std", "Bold", 30);
    e.graphics.foregroundColor = e.graphics.newPen (e.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0], 1);
    e.graphics.backgroundColor = e.graphics.newBrush (e.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]);
    // Font for the tird control, a button. Can't set colours in buttons
    b.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Minion Pro", "Italic", 30);

  • Some video clips only show as white

    I have recently installed SpeedGrade on a new workstation and I am having issues with some video content only showing as pure white. I have DNxHD 175 1080p/23.976 footage recorded on an Atomos Ninja blade and h.264 1080p/23.976 24Mbps footage recorded on a Nikon D610. On my MacBook both will show in Speed Grade, on my workstation only the D610 footage in h.264 will show. The Ninja footage in DNxHD just shows as a solid white block. Understandably I want to grade the Ninja footage
    I am running Speed Grade 8.2x51 on Windows 8.1 with the following machine spec:
    Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 2.5Ghz with 12 cores
    128GB DDR 4 RAM
    Nvidia Quadro K6000
    Has anyone else come across this and know a solution ?

    Yea, first project I tried to experiment with DNxHD I'd downloaded a clip, and the flipping thing didn't play right. Had a few questions here & elsewhere ... then after several posts about this or that potential problem, someone asked ... "so, like, dude, you DID install the codec before trying this, right?"
    My ... um ... oopsies ... no ... hadn't even thought about whether it was a "built-in" codec or not, and everyone trying to help assumed I'd known enough to do that step. So, yes, I learned about this the wonderful hard-knocks way. And now I'm a much more enlightened person who keeps finding new and wonderfully more silly ways to dig a hole to stumble into.
    For so many things, direct mode is a slicker way of working. Use it when you can, which is mostly. SpeedGrade has some occasional problems if say you try & key-frame a mask for grading, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. You need to remember that in Direct Mode Sg is NOT allowed to "play" with the PrPro-created timeline itself, you can't add to it or delete things from it. Including you can't add a grading layer above the timeline tracks in Sg, as you would in "native" mode. So ... if you need one and didn't think about it whilst in PrPro, you just save & return to PrPro, add a "new item->adjustment layer" over as many clips as needed, or as many as you want ... then go back to Sg & use those for grading layers. That sort of thing.
    It's pretty darn slick in all.

  • Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

    I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
    The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
    The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • IPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB.  How do I get back my photos?

    iPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB.  How do I get back my photos?   I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 with Mavericks.   My iPhoto is 9.6.   I am very concerned as this file has all my photos for the last 15 years!

    If the iPhoto Library is still 130 GB large, your photos are probably still inside; perhaps the library has a corruption.
    Or the iPhoto Library is on drive, that is incompatible with iPhoto. Where is your iPhoto Library stored?
    To check for a library corruption:  Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto library and select "Show Package Contents". This will show the folders inside the library package.
    Are there folders called "Masters" or "Old Masters"?
    If there is a folder "Old Masters", you are having a problem with recent bug, that corrupts iPhoto Libraries when upgrading. In that case, it would be best to restore your iPhoto Library from a backup you made before you upgraded to Yosemite.
    Or, if no backup is available, copy the "old Masters" folder to a folder on your Desktop and create a new iPhoto library and import the Old Masters folder.
    If there is no folder "old Masters" try to rebuild your iPhoto Library with the First Aid tools :
    Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library, but don't overwrite any older backups.
    To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
    Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
    Select  "Rebuild Database".

  • I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

    Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

    If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
    1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
    2 - Click "Network"
    3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
    4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
    5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
    6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
    7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
    8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
    9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
    10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
    11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
    12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
    13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

  • When Report Ran Chart Use To Show, Now It Does Not

    This report use to show the charts.  Now it doesn't.  Can someone explain where I can look to debug or explain why this is all of a sudden happening?
    lcerni

    Hi lcerni,
    According to your description that the report which have been deployed to report server before use to show the charts in it, now it doesn't, the charts not showing now, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can’t reproduce your issue, first you can stop and restart the report server(In the Reporting Services configuration Manager) to reopen your report manager to run the report again
    If the issue still exists, Could you provided the version of your SQL Server Reporting Service and the version of the IE ?
    Generally the issue can be caused by the browser not supported or the installation of the SQL Server Reporting Server: Planning for Reporting Services and Power View Browser Support (Reporting Services 2014). So you can change the IE version to an older
    version to see if the issue still exists.
    If the version is 2012, you can do an update to it, remember to restart the report server instance after that:  
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2679368 
    If it is other version, please try to do the related update.
    Similar issue which have been resolved for your reference:
    SSRS 2012 Charts not rendering
    SSRS report manager not rendering charts
    If you still have any question, please feel free to ask

    Hello,
    Just to set your expectations...it's fine to "rant" about things here, but I do hope you are not expecting a formal reply from anyone at BlackBerry. For this site is not a channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. Rather, it is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out to the best of their abilities. Note this banner, please, posted at the top of nearly every page of the site:
    Consequently, words posted such as "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" are actually directed at the other kind volunteers of this site, who may not respond in the most kindly of fashions. Hopefully, we all can understand that your rant is directed at BlackBerry (though, by placing it here, it is misplaced), but I just wanted to gently caution you about such posts, as well as ensure that your expectation concerning replies is properly set. Also, for new members who join the site, it's always good to have responses to such posts, covering the intended use of the site so that those new members can better understand such things.
    On the other hand, if you do desire assistance from other users for your issues, you might consider wording your requests in a manner that would motivate a kind volunteer to provide such.
