Subtitles and Stories

I am having some issues with subtitles and stories. I have a multi language DVD in which subtitles are to be shown over the non-English versions. The English version does not require subtitles. I authored the DVD so no subtitles will be shown when the viewer selects the English version. But, in some players a subtitle stream is displayed during playback.
In DVDSP I have one video track with multiple stories. Each story is for a language. The viewer first selects which language they desire, then they go to a menu written in that language's characters. The buttons on those secondary menus link to the stories. Each menu's button has been assigned to the appropriate subtitle stream and "View" is checked. However for English, which does not need subtitles, I linked the buttons to an empty subtitle stream and unchecked "View."
Using the Simulator I read the log and see that the SPRM 2 value for English is "0." In the DVDSP manual that is listed as meaning "off." That is good and all subtitles play back as intended including English during which no subtitles are seen.
The problem is that when playing a burned DVD in some players, the English story has a subtitle stream (the contents of subtitle stream 1 on one player, and another older player displays stream 3). On other players the DVD plays fine and no subtitles are visible during the English video.
Why is a subtitle stream being shown when the DVD commands say to not display subtitles?

Thank you for the reply. This is an aggravating issue and an unforeseen one since my testing regimen included a high quality player, a low quality player, and Windows & Mac software players. No play back issues were noted. But since there are so many different players out there it is hard to know how compatible a DVD will be. And I've now seen it first hand. I took the DVD to an electronics store and tried it on a five portable DVD players. Two displayed subtitles during the English video (incorrect playback), while three played the DVD properly (no subtitles during English). The more expensive players were better able to follow the commands of the DVD.
Anyway...
I followed the info in your web links. The step by step tutorial for authoring with stories did not remedy the issue. I tried following the first link that talks about scripting but found it to be above my current level of knowledge.
I would appreciate more precise help on how to script links to subtitles & stories? The main issue is how to turn off subtitle streams for the English story. By using the advanced button controls I can activate proper subtitles displays on the foreign language stories without issue. The problem is trying to tell DVD players to shut off all subtitle streams when the English story is selected.
I think scripting could help, but it's hard to understand since I haven't done much of it yet.

HELP with Subtitles and Stories

Ok, I need help with a a complicated disc I'm trying to set-up.
I don't even know if this is possible.
What I'd like to do is enable a story that could Play all
three of seperate video shorts, that all resides on seperate tracks. The reason they are on seperate tracks, is because each track has two audio streams (one for English Lang, the other for Japanese Language) and each short aslo has an English Subtitle track. The tracks are named as Short A, Short B, and Short C.
Or is there a way other than a Story that could link
the three seperate tracks to play one right after the other ?

Stories won't link assets across different tracks - a story is like a play list for a single track - it can only contain a subset of the track's assets.
In order to effect a 'Play All' across different tracks you are going to need to script it.
Fortunately, it's pretty easy, but you have to be clear about the functionality that you want in advance. Whilst it is simple to check to see if a 'play all' button was activated, there are various scenarios which your user might be in that will adversely affect the playback.
Check here for more info - the section about scripting is towards the bottom, but be sure to read about things to watch out for!

What is the best way to archive and store old mail using Apple Mail?

Hi,
I have a number of older emails that I would like to archive and store for potential future access. Even though I have mails from earlier Lotus Notes accounts and Microsoft Office accounts, I am referring in this case only to apple mail data that I ave 'stored on my mac'.
Any advice would be great. At the moment I am using predominantly gmail, so if things go haywire, rebuilding my mail is relatively easy. That said, I tend to file and save locally important messages.
Cheers,
Mark.

This is from Mail's help:
Archive messages
You can store messages in an Archive mailbox so that you can quickly find them later when you’re ready to take action.
Select one or more messages to archive.If you select a conversation, all messages in the conversation are archived.
Choose Message > Archive.An Archive mailbox is created for each account whose messages you archive. For example, if you archive a message sent to your iCloud account and a message sent to your Yahoo! account, an Archive mailbox is created for each account.Archived messages remain in the Archive mailbox until you delete or move them. Depending on the account type, the Archive mailbox is stored on the mail server.
You can customize the Mail toolbar to include the Archive icon.

How to open and read many files from a directory and store contents in 2D array?

I want to make a VI that opens and reads the data from various files contained in a directory (200 files each with 2 columns) and store these in a single 2D array. For file number 1 I want to store the data from both columns in the 2D array, but for files 2 to 200 I only want to store the second column of each file. Can someone please help?

Hi Nadav,
Thanks for your help. I have followed your instructions but i cannot get it to work. I used the LIST DIRECTORY to list the files in the directory - that works. However, how do I read each of the 200 files using READ FROM SPREADSHEET FILE without me having to manually select each of the 200 files? So, if I use LIST DIRECTORY to list all 200 files in an array, how do I get each of these to open and store the data in a 2D array? Here is what I have done (File called read_files.VI) Could you please help me? Thank you very much in advance.

Can you access and store two itunes libraries on one computer?

can you access and store two itunes libraries on one computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes but you may run into issues if you want them both to run iTunes Match or automatic downloads.

1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

How to take human task values and store them in DB table

Hi, I have a workflow and when I assign the task to someone I want to store some info in a database table that I created.
I have checked the box allow task and routing customization in bpel call backs.
And under the on Assign message, I put an assign bpel construct and an invoke.
in the assign construct I am trying to copy some of the elements from my humantasks_globalvariables to certain columns in my database table.
I have found out you can't copy them directly because the humantasks_globalvariables are of type string and my database columns are anonymous. So I tried using parseEscapedXML(), when I do this I get the error that
oracle.fabric.common.xml.xpath.XPathFunctionException: parseXML() expects the argument to be either a string or an XML element.
The humantasks_globalvariable I am using says it's of type string but it gives me this error.
I am obviously doing something wrong. If anybody know how to take values from a human task and store them in a database table any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the actual database the column types are varchar2. But when I drag an invoke from the bpel constructs I associate it with by DBadapter partner link and click the button automatically create input variables. It creates an xsd and this is what one of the elements looks like.
<xs:element name="anyvalue">
    <xs:simpleType>
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
             <xs:maxLength value="20"/>
        </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>When I do an assign and try to assign the values from the humantasks_globalvariables xsd there types look like this.
task:title string
and the input variable I automatically generated look like this.
ns7:anyvalue <anonymous>

How to read the data from excel file and store into the table?

Hi All,
I have table with BLOB datatype contains a excel file. I have to read that data from excel and store into one table with all the fields in excel.
All the excel fields and my table columns are same.
Can you share with me how can acheive this using LOB's?
Thanks

Hi OraSuirya,
you can try with external tables .
syntax as follows
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
For this you need to create directory
Directory Creation syntax:
create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
I hope this will help you.
Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
Thanks,
Tippu.

Is it possible to retreive data and store it in database from a AWM cube?

Hi all,
Table to cube is possible by maintaining..but Is it possible to retreive data as it stored in cube and store it in database from a AWM cube?
Regards,
Arjun Jkoshi

Hi there,
Yes, it is possible - and very easy. Remember an OLAP cube is fully integrated with the Oracle database and therefore treated very much as a native object.
With 11g OLAP, cube views are created automatically when you define a cube using AWM. These views provide SQL access to the data in the OLAP cube meaning that it is very easy to transfer data into a table using techniques such as 'create table as select * from cube_view' or 'insert into table select * from cube_view'. You can use WHERE clauses to filter specific values from the cube into the table, and in 11g, an optimisation has been added to ensure that NULL rows are eliminated from the result set automatically (OLAP cubes are typically very sparse and therefore contain many NULL values)
With 10g OLAP, cube views can be added on top of existing cubes that have been created using AWM. It is easiest to do this using the [view generator|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/viewGenerator_1_0_2.zip] utility from the [OTN OLAP home page|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/index.html]. With the views in place it is once again very easy to transfer data into a table using techniques such as 'create table as select * from cube_view' or 'insert into table select * from cube_view'.
I hope this is clear and makes sense. Which version of Oracle OLAP are you using?
Thanks
Stuart
