Trying to create MPEG-2 with .mpg extension

A client requires an MPEG-2 file with .mpg extension, less than 10 Mbps bit rate, twin channel mono audio.
Can I create this in compressor from a .mov?
If I choose multiplexed audio and then manually change the extension from m2t to mpg will this work? (the client will playback in a solid state mpeg player)
Also - I am working in PAL and they require a 1024x576 pixel file: when I select 16x9, will this give the correct setting (assuming my source material is anamorphic)?

Since the client asks for MPEG-2 with .mpg extension, I guess they really mean .mpeg as gogiangigo mentions. In other words, they want an MPEG-2 Program Stream.
Compressor 3 User Manual: page 60:
• m2t: Represents MPEG-2 transport stream.
• mpeg: Represents MPEG-2 program stream.
Compressor 3 User Manual: page 183:
About Elementary, Transport, and Program Streams
There are three common MPEG-2 stream types that are used to deliver MPEG-2 encoded video:
• Elementary streams: These streams contain only one MPEG-2 content channel and no audio. Elementary streams are required if you intend to use your MPEG-2 encoded video as a DVD Studio Pro asset.
• Transport streams: These streams can contain several MPEG-2 content channels and associated audio. All the channels are multiplexed together, allowing the receiver to choose which to play back. Compressor supports creating single-channel transport streams that can optionally include associated audio. Transport streams can also recover from interruptions during playback, making them ideally suited for broadcast and streaming applications where noise or network congestion can lead to interruptions.
• Program streams: These streams contain only one MPEG-2 content channel and its associated audio. Program streams require an error-free delivery method and are primarily used for storage or processing within a computer. By default, the Compressor MPEG-2 encoder creates elementary MPEG-2 steams. You can configure the MPEG-2 encoder to create transport or program streams and choose whether they should include audio in the Extras tab. See “Extras Tab” on page 197 for more information.
Note: All the Stream Usage settings except Generic output elementary streams. If you select any of the other Stream Usage settings and then configure the output to be either a transport or program stream, the Stream Usage changes to Generic. See “Stream Usage” on page 185 for more information.

Thank you & Best Regards

I think this is essentially saying that the Supervisor Assignment is wrong or no longer effective. Looking at your SQL to fetch the Supervisor Assignment there are a number of potential issues. This is what you've currently got:
SELECT person_id
INTO v_person_id
FROM per_all_people_f
WHERE employee_number = r.supervisor_number
AND business_group_id= v_business_group_id;
SELECT assignment_id
INTO v_sup_assignment_id
FROM per_all_assignments_f
WHERE person_id = v_person_id
AND business_group_id = v_business_group_id;
Potential Problems/Clarifications
1. What is r.supervisor_number, what does it contain and how is it derived? I can't see that anywhere else in the block...
2. Is there a chance that r.supervisor_number is referencing an employee who has left, ie, now an ex-employee?
3. The SELECT statement that fetches the assignment_id does not perform any date-effective restrictions, which means you might be lucky enough to fetch the person's current assignment. But you might also fetch an old or future-dated assignment.
4. The SELECT statement that fetches the assignment_id does not restrict the type of assignment, so if this manager has applied for a job (ie, they have an applicant assignment) or some other type of non-employee assignment you might be picking that up.
This would work better for you:
SELECT paaf.assignment_id
INTO v_sup_assignment_id
FROM per_all_people_f papf
,per_all_assignments_f paaf
WHERE papf.employee_number = r.supervisor_number
AND papf.business_group_id = v_business_group_id
AND nvl(papf.current_employee_flag, 'N') = 'Y'
AND trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN
papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
AND papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
AND paaf.assignment_type = 'E'
AND paaf.primary_flag = 'Y'
AND trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN
paaf.effective_start_date AND paaf.effective_end_date;
If it doesn't return a row it means that the supervisor (or whatever employee is returned by r.supervisor_number) is not active as at sysdate and cannot be used. Note that this SQL only applies for employees. If you can have Contingent Workers as supervisors in your implementation then this needs tweaking.
Does that help?

Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

This is what that error means:
-54
permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

Here are 3 options for future reference:
1. With the setup you've described, apply a Match Move behavior to the text and make the rectangle the source. Change the Transform parameter to Mimic source. This way you can still adjust the text postion as needed, but the rectangle will drive the animation.
2. Use a group to do the animation. Put both your rectangle and text in the same group and animate the group's postion.
3. Use the Link behavior.
Each of these has it's advantages depending on what you need.

CS5.5 will not export MPEG2 Transport stream with mpg extension?

I am creating video for the local cable access channel. I have been using the MPEG2 NTSC DV High Quality preset. That preset outputs MPEG layer 2 audio. The cable access coordinator says that those files will not play audio from the Soloist media server, even though the specs for that server calls for MPEG layer 2 audio. Those files play ok in Windows Media Player. When analyzed with AVIcodec, GSpot, and VideoInspector, they all show there is MPEG layer 2 audio. The server shows no audio at all in one of it's reports.
I had previously been using an older version of Final Cut Pro and Compressor. I no longer have access to that computer but I believe I had been exporting a Program Stream. The access channel's documentation calls for Transport Stream. When exporting Transport Stream MuliplexingMPEG2 video in CS5.5 Media Encoder, the output file has the .m2t extension. These 3 codec analyzers aren't recognizing this as MPEG2. I assume that the video server will not recognize this m2t file extension at all. Final Cut's compressor did output the Program Stream MPEG2 with the mpg extension.
Is there a way to export Transport Stream MPEG2 video with MPEG layer 1 audio and have an .mpg file extension on the resulting file?
Also, anyone familiar enough with PID values to know if that could have any bearing on why the MPEG layer 2 audio is not being detected in that video server when I use the MPEG2 NTSC High Quality presets?
Thanks for any help.

Jeff,
I am still waiting to here back from the access channel coordinator to see if the test file encoded this way would be recognized and play correctly. The files can only be tested when the server is off-line so it takes awhile for a response. Thanks for your help. I'll post when I get word of that file status.

cause of the error:
After some extensive research on the web, it is found that that you are using an UTF-8 encoded file with byte-order mark (BOM). Java doesn't handle BOMs on UTF-8 files properly, making the three header bytes appear as being part of the document. UTF-8 files with BOMs are commonly generated by tools such as Window's Notepad. This is a known bug in Java, but it still needs fixing after almost 8 years...
There are some hexadecimal character at the begining of the file, which is giving error"content not allowed in prolog". No solution is provided for this till now.
Example: suppose your file start with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>. you will see this in a editor. But if you open this file with any hexadecimal editor you will find some junk character in the start of the file.that is causing the problem
solution:
1) convert your file into a string and then read the file from the forst character that in my case the first character will be "<".so the junk character will not be there in the string and then again convert it into a file.
2) some people are able to solve this problem by changing the "utf-8" to "utf-16". remember only in some case. some times this problem also exits in "utf-16" file.
3) some are able to solve this problem by changing the LANG to US.en.
4) If the first three bytes of the file have hexadecimal values EF BB BF then the file contains a BOM.so you can also handle by your own.
5)Download a hexadecimal editor and remove the BOM.
6) In case you are not able to think furthe then please to more research in internet may be you find some other solution to this problem. But These solution are some type of hack not exactly a solution.

Can't create MPEG 2 with audio

I have a 2 minute HD 720p sequence created in FCP. I'm supposed to convert it into an MPEG 2 File with audio, NTSC 4:3 Letterboxed and no bigger than 45MB.
Every time I try, I get an unrecognizeable file with an extesion .mts instead of .m2v.
I'm using compressor 2. So far I...
1) Selected DVD Fastest Encode 90 min/ 4:3
2) Selected MPEG 2 6.2 mbp 1 pass 4:3
3) In inspector, kept default except : Average Bit Rate 2.4; Field Dominance - Automatic; Multiplexed MPEG -1/Layer Audio.
It's on this 3rd step that I notice the file name gets changed. I'm also not sure how to do the letterboxing. Any help appreciated - this is due ASAP!

What are you going to use your MPEG-2 file for?
If you want an MPEG-2 .mpeg file with both video and audio, you need to make an MPEG-2 Program Stream. Exactly what did you do earlier when making m2v with audio earlier? Maybe you included the an audio preset too, from the DVD presets folder? That is the way you do it if you want to author your DVD using DVD Studio Pro. Then you want a separate video and audio file, to bring into DVD Studio Pro.
Transport Streams have the .mts extension (wrapper), while Program Streams have the .mpeg extension (wrapper).

My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was using my iTunes account with her email. When trying to create her own iTunes as she is the correct age it has come up that her email is already being used. How do we do this with he same email address

Hello spooner68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter. Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use.
To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:
How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID
If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.

Cryptic message!
I saw a definition online for this that said:
Cause: An integer value in an internal Oracle structure overflowed when being sent or received over a heterogeneous connection. This can happen when an invalid buffer length or too great a row count is specified. It usually indicates a bug in the user application.
Action: Check parameters to Oracle calls. If the problem recurs, reduce all integer parameters, column values not included, to less than 32767.
Which seems even more cryptic.
Then checking on another forum with this error, I saw:
Q. I am getting the above error trying to run a free hand SQL report on two tables that are materialised views (database links) on our reporting database from our production database. Now the bizarre thing with this is that the report does not work on my computer or our production server, however one of my team mates can run the report.
Can anybody explain why this error might occur? I am able to run free hand SQL on any other table. The Oracle error talks about a CLOB, but if that were the case, why would it work on a different machine?
A1. Check if you have the same version Oracle client on the three machines. What happens if you run the query through a different tool like TOAD or SQL*Plus ?
Final A. The problem was due to the different versions of Oracle Client. I was running 9.2 on my PC, I had 9.2 on the server and it wouldn't work. My collegues were running 9.0.1 and had no issues, once I changed back to this version on both my PC and the Server, the problem was gone.
I think the problem was something to do with BO 6.5.1 as the report was developed in 6.1.a and worked fine, as soon as we upgraded the porblem occured.
If you are not using CLOB's, I would suggest going down the track of checking your Oracle ver.
So, with all that info, I'd check:
1. are you using Disco Desktop and getting this?
2. Materialized views?
3. Links to another database in your folder?
4. Do you have a different Oracle client that others? Can others run the same report and all okay?
5. Can you run the same query in TOAD, SQL*Nav, SQL*Dev, etc?

Trying to create an O with a twirl effect

Hello,
I am pretty new to photoshop. I am trying to create an "O" like the one in the attachment and i can't for the life of me figure out how to create that. I tried everything, the twirl filter and everything but i can't even come close to getting that. Does anyone know or can show me please how to make that?

It's not as straight forward as you might think. Crevitz is right about the Distort > Twirl filter, but you need to start with something like this
The apply Filter > Distort > Twirl two or three times, and finally grab the center portion with the Elliptical Marquee tool
Resize to fit with Free Transform.

Trying to Create Tabular Form with apex_item... and apex_item.select_list

I am trying to create a tabular form that uses multiple altec_item functions (select_list, select_list_from_LOV,...). Whenever I attempt to create a new page and select Tabular Form, I am forced to select a table and columns. So I have just selected any table and once the sql is created, I overwrite it with my own sql. When I try to apply the changes, I get an error anytime I use apex_item... for a particular column. I have tried the same creating a standard report with the same results. I have read at least 20 examples but none say where to start from when creating the tabular form and just jump right in to the code. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Jerryu

You can start with creating a simple classic report. You can use apex_item functions in your query and later set your column attributes to "Standard Report Column". Basically, you are creating a updateable report.

XMLStreamReaderBase tries to create a QName with a null namespace prefix

Given the following xml:
<foo>
<bar type="value"/>
</foo>
Calling getAttributeName(index) while on the 'bar' element will cause an IllegalArgumentException as XMLStreamReaderBase tries to create a javax.xml.namespace.QName with a null prefix instead of using XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: prefix cannot be "null" when creating a QName
at javax.xml.namespace.QName.<init>(QName.java:170)
at weblogic.xml.stax.XMLStreamReaderBase.getAttributeName(XMLStreamReaderBase.java:339)

Hi, were you able to solve this issue? I am also facing the same!

Trying to create a surface with multiple images with mouse events

novice programmer (for a applet program)
hi trying to create a surface i.e jpanel, canvas, that allows multiple images to be created.
Each object is to contain a image(icon) and a name associated with that particular image. Then each image+label has a mouse event that allows the item to be dragged around the screen.
I have tried creating own class that contains a image and string but I having problems.
I know i can create a labels with icons but having major problems adding mouse events to allow each newly created label object to moved by the users mouse?
if any one has any tips of how to acheive this it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
fraser.

This should set you on the right track:- import java.awt.*;
