Trying to output from s-video to composite (for television) radeon 4770

I put together a little htpc using a bunch of spare parts I had lying around...I'm trying to get the s-video to output to component in (RCA type connectors) I have the s-video to component adapter, but I have no idea what the color coding means, as well, I'm trying to figure out what, if anything needs to be configured software wise in order to have output to a television...790gx, athlon x2 5000+, radeon 4770, 2 gigs ram, windows 7 rc (didn't want to spend on as os right away), thanks for any help with this project.

Does the video adapter output both S-Video and Composite simultaneously?

I have a multi-zone receiver which converts S-Video to component for the main zone and passes S-Video signals through to zone 2 but does not convert them to composite which is how that zone is set up. I solved a similar problem with my DVD player by connecting both the component output and composite output of the DVD player to the receiver allowing high quality viewing in the lounge room and passable viewing in the bedroom.
I realise the quality from the adapter is questionable particularly for composite but I'm still interested if both S-Video and composite signals are output from the MBP 17" via the adapter simultanesouly.
Thanks,
Max.

I have a follow-up question which may help answer the original question. Does the MBP have to detect the external display when connected via S-Video/Composite in the same way that it has to when connected via DVI? My Dell notebook had so much trouble detecting composite and S-Video connections that eventually I gave up so I'm a little "once bitten twice shy" on this. If the MBP doesn't attempt to detect the external display via S-Video or composite then it must output both S-Video and Composite signals continuously (which would be great).
Thanks,
Max.

How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
Thanks

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

How to extract a10 framess from webcam video..wait for sometime then extract 10 more frames

Sir,
I need to extract 10 frames from a real time webcam video..wait for a particular period of time (say 5 sec) and then extract 10 more frames repeat this procedure 15 times. I tried using vision acquisition too..but i couldnt solve the problem. im using Labview 2011..please help me with this issue.

I am guessing that this is a Homework problem. It will not help you to learn LabVIEW if someone else does your work for you. On the other hand, it might actually be part of the specification for some code that your employer needs to have completed -- if so, are there LabVIEW "experts" there that you can consult?
If you do, indeed, need someone to develop a "finished product" for you, you will need to provide a full specification of what is involved, and (especially if this is job-related) might consider hiring someone to do this for you.
On the other hand, if you are a student learning LabVIEW, review your earlier Homework assignments, ask your Professor for help, and write as much code as you can! Learning to program (in LabVIEW, Fortran, C, Java, it really doesn't matter) is not an "intellectual exercise" -- it is a "Practice makes Perfect" endeavor.

Trying to output best quality video for later work on a PC?

I have a video file that was sent to me to work on, add effects to, then send back to a customer for him to incorporate into a larger video project.
I have finished my work, but am wondering what settings I should use in Compressor to maintain the best quality file that will be easily readable by PC editing software (such as Premiere)
Please, any suggestions?

The best solution is to ask to talk to the guy with the PC and ask him what he needs. Hopefully he has some clue as to what he is doing and will give you direct answer. If he doesn't know what he is doing the first question you need to ask is he working in HD or SD? Start there.
Basically you really need to talk to the other editor. If you don't then you are just wasting everyone's time.

Trying to update from os 1.1.5 for a gen 1 ipod touch to os 3.1.1 but keep receiving an err 8288 message?

I have tried mutiple times to update to the 3.1.1 os for my Gen 1 ipod touch from the 1.1.5 os but keep receiveing an err 8288 message. I paid the one time 4.99 fee to download the os from ithe itunes store but the error message persists. HELP!

Any word on this fix yet? Kicking myself in the @#$ for not checking ALL issues with downloading the updated software. I am trying to update to the iOS 3, with no avail. I have the 2.2.1 - thinking that i could update it and give it to my child. Do you think the store can help? I don't want to pay $40-$50 through apple support to get my $4.95 back. I am by no means computer literate, so the firmware (3rd party) is sitting on my computer waiting for me to do something.
If anyone comes up with the latest and greatest help, that would be just fine.

Trying to go from 24P DV to MPEG4 for web - Interlace artifacts!!!!

I've tried a million different things but can't get this to work. I shot 24P (not advanced) on a DVX100. Edited everything fine, no problems. Looks great on a monitor.
Now I am trying to export out an MPEG4 quicktime for the web. I get interlacing artifacts. I tried using Compressor and exporting from FCP and Quicktime Pro. I tried doing a reverse telecine in Cinema Toolsat 24FPS which seemed to create a DV quicktime without the 3:2, but when I try to convert that file to MP4 the interlacing problems reappear.
What am I doing wrong? What can I do? Help is appreciated!

Yes, but Cinema Tools removes the pulldown based on timing - like removing every fifth frame. If the movie you feed it is made up of a number of clips with different cadences, Cinema tools will pull the wrong frames out of some of the clips. That's why I said it needed to be done on a clip by clip basis.
Does this make sense?

Using selected output from a RFC as input for another RFC

Hi,
I'm new at this so I may be doing things completely wrong.
I have two models based on adaptive RFC.
The first populates a list of Org Units. (Orgeh_Out)
The user then selectes multiple Org Units from this list.
I want to use the selected Org Units as Input for the second RFC which will display the personnel numbers in the selected Org Units. (Orgeh_Tab_In)
Model 1 works fine but I am having difficulty in populating the Org Unit input table for the second model.
public void RFCPernrFill( )
    //@@begin RFCPernrFill()
     Z_Wd_Pernr_Input pernrInput = new Z_Wd_Pernr_Input();
     wdContext.nodePernrList().bind(pernrInput);
    int orgCount = wdContext.nodeOrgeh_Out().size();
      for (int i=0; i<orgCount; i++) {
            if (wdContext.nodeOrgeh_Out().isMultiSelected(i)) {
            IOrgeh_OutElement thisOrgUnit = wdContext.nodeOrgeh_Out().getOrgeh_OutElementAt(i);
          Zwd_Orgeh tmpOrgTab = new Zwd_Orgeh();
          String st = String.valueOf(thisOrgUnit);
          tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh(st);            //<-- Causes error but will only accept a String
          pernrInput.addOrgeh_Tab_In(tmpOrgTab);
I don't understand why tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh will only accept a String and not the 'thisOrgUnit' variable.
i.e. why couldn't I say tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh(thisOrgUnit) ?
The command tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh(st); causes an error however if I hard code a Org Unit tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh("5000011"); it works. The error I get is :
Type conversion error, field ORGEH, complex type class com.sap.com.testing.pernrlist.model1.Zwd_Orgeh

Hi
   Can you give me the structure of the proxy classes generated. I will give you the working code :).
The lines of code
Zwd_Orgeh tmpOrgTab = new Zwd_Orgeh();
String st = String.valueOf(thisOrgUnit);
tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh(st); //<-- Causes error but will only accept a String
pernrInput.addOrgeh_Tab_In(tmpOrgTab);
There is a structure in your RFC called ZWD_ORGEH.
Instantiate this like you have done.
Zwd_Orgeh tmpOrgTab = new Zwd_Orgeh();
Now the following line of code
tmpOrgTab.setOrgeh(st)
Here you say it is only accepting a string. But what i feel is that you would have another internal structure and u need to instantiate that.
Anyway if you just send me the proxy classes generated i will be able to help you in your code.
Also give me the structure of the RFC.
Meanwhile check this link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/webdynpro/effective web dynpro - adaptive rfc models
The above link will also give you some input to your prob.

How do I output the smoothest video when changing or mixing frame rates from the original footage?

I have been experimenting with various Media Encoder settings, and wondered if there was anything else I can try to get the smoothest video output possible, especially when changing frame rate and possibly resolution. For clarification, let me start from the beginning and explain what I'm doing and what I've tried so far. I'll try to be as brief as possible, but if I do go into too much detail, I apologize.
My original footage is AVCHD 1080p - 60fps. (my camera only does 60fps...specifically 59.94fps) We're not talking interlaced video here, I'm staying away from that. This is definitely full frame, progressive video at 60 frames (not fields) per second. My output will ultimately be for the web. I have been keeping my output codec (H.264) and bit-rate (VBR 2-pass, relatively high-bitrate) consistent, and have been trying numerous output options and even sequence settings to see what would yield the best results. I am using Premiere Pro CS5.5 along with Media Encoder. Here's what I've done and the results I've observed:
1. I created a sequence with 1080p - 59.94fps settings to match my original footage. I then output both 1080p and 720p versions at 59.94fps, and at 29.97fps. The 59.94fps output files looked absolutely great, as would be expected. Extremely smooth. The 29.97fps output files were generally smooth, but not near as smooth as the 59.94fps. This is expected since it's half the frame rate as my original footage. However, my question is this: What exactly is Media Encoder doing when "down converting" from 60p to 30p? From a technical stand point, is it dropping every other frame? I'm just curious to understand exactly what it does. I tried the Frame Blending option as well, and that only yielded a bit more blur to the images which wasn't desirable for any of the output files.
2. Just to see what would happen, I created a sequence with 1080p - 29.97 settings. I then output both 1080p and 720p versions at 29.97fps. The video was much more choppy in these cases, even with Frame Blending on. Now, I know not matching my sequence settings with my original media isn't ideal, but I again just want to understand why this yields less smooth video than the 29.97fps options above. Why does cutting the sequence settings frame rate in half from the original, then outputting the same frame rate as the sequence yield video that is not as smooth?
3. Next, I wanted to try mixing frame rates to see how Premiere and Media Encoder handled the footage and output files. Premiere handled it great, no issues there. However, I had some interesting things happen when I output the files. Here's what I did: I created a sequence with 1080p - 59.94fps to match my original footage. Then I took the same exact footage that was in my sequence, copied it in my project panel and interpreted it at both 23.976 and 29.97 fps, yielding slow motion video. The slow motion video looked great in Premiere, so I went ahead and just added it to my sequences, along with the original 59.94 footage. I also created separate sequences for the 29.97 and 23.976 footage respectively, each with matching sequence settings, then added a nested sequence to another original footage sequence (with 59.94fps sequence settings) to see which yielded the best results. Basically, I'm trying to output 59.94fps that match my original footage, but also throw in some slow motion footage at different framerates. I'll explain my results in a moment as they are a bit convoluted, however, here is my question: When mixing frame rates and trying to output the smoothest video, am I going about this the right way? I would assume you would use your sequence settings that match the original footage (which is what the majority of the footage will be), then bring in a nested sequence for the slow motion (as oppose to just dropping the slow motion video directly into my main sequence), and then output to the same frame rate of the majority of the footage, in this case 59.94fps. Is there a better workflow for this?
The results to #3 above were as follows. Initially, it looked like it didn't matter if I nested the slow motion sequence into my main sequence, or simply dropped the actual slow motion video into my original 59.94fps sequence. It seemed to produce smooth results either way. Frame Blending blurred the video a bit, but didn't seem to make much difference, and quite honestly I like the footage without Frame Blending in general. However, when I closed down Premiere, and opened the output files later (opening in Quicktime), the footage looked choppy. In fact, it would go from choppy to smooth and back, almost like it had an irregular cadence (don't know if I'm using "cadence" in the right context here). I would then open up Premiere again, import the output footage into my project panel, and play the footage in Premiere, and it would play back smooth again. Is this a Quicktime issue? I was playing 1080p 59.94fps files when this happened, so maybe it's just because it's a large file. Doesn't seem to have issues with the 720p files I created. But it sure threw me off with my testing because I then started second guessing the settings I was using. My iMac is the latest 2011 model with plenty of RAM, so I wouldn't think it's the computer. Thoughts?
4. Next, I noticed on ALL my output files (again, using the H.264 codec from Media Encoder) that the color of my video seemed to flatten quite a bit. It seems that the original footage has more contrast and saturation than the output files. I figured maybe this was just how it was, but when I re-imported the output files back into Premiere, they looked IDENTICAL to the original footage. And in Media Encoder's Source/Output windows, I don't see any difference there either. Is Quicktime again the culprit here, doing some odd things to the color of my videos?
5. Regarding Frame Blending, when is the best situation to enable this option in Media Encoder? I've read it is when mixing frame rates, but I honestly didn't see too much of a change except for a bit more blur, which I didn't care for.
6. Lastly, my conclusion is that 60fps yields the smoothest video, which is an obvious conclusion. However, I know that 60fps isn't the best or easiet frame rate for web delivery. It seems 30p is more the standard. Are there any integrated web players that would play 60fps? Can you get 60fps video on YouTube/Vimeo? If yes to any of these questions, can they do 720p and 1080p at 60fps?
Those are all my questions. I hope I am clear enough without being overly wordy and hopefully I didn't put too many questions into one post. Thanks in advance for any insight, I really appreciate it.

Did you ever figure out which output worked the best? I have the same original footage; trying to determine the best output settings to make a dvd for tv.
thanks!

What adapter needed to connect to S-video or composite video on TV

My MacBook Pro has a mini-display port and I can't seem to find an adapter that will allow output to S-video and composite video. I have the adapter that worked with the Powerbook G4 12".
Thanks

S-Video is limited to 720 x 480. Unless you have a standard TV (not HD-TV), or older projector, S-Video is not ideal anymore. Plus you end up with an almost unusable external display unless all you are showing is video and stills and slides.
A mini-DisplayPort is adaptable to VGA with this adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/searchresult?p=MB572Z/A
which can be adapted to S-Video fairly easily with a cable such as this one:
http://www.eforcity.com/pothvgasvrc1.html
A mini-DisplayPort is adaptable to DVI:
http://store.apple.com/us/searchresult?p=MB570Z/A
which can be adapted to component here from:
Buy.com (I never shop here, but that's the specs).
However, the audio will not come out of DisplayPort. For that you need a separate audio cable such as this one:
from StarTech if you have a compatible Toslink speaker system.
Otherwise, you can use a standard RCA minijack cable to hook up to your stereo speaker system.
Note the only store links I shop from are Apple from above. I just found these cables on Google, and have no idea how good any of the other stores are.

Poor Output from AME (Premiere 4)

I love Premiere, but I hate the Adobe Media Encoder. I think part of the problem may be that I am producing custom video for desktop and the web as opposed to media for DVD, Blu Ray, etc.
I am producing a series of short 16:9 Quicktime videos at a custom size from high-res progressive source files rendered in 3DS Max.
I have found that the Media encoder settings seem to be very restrictive with regard to bitrate settings, and that the best available quality when encoding to H.264, for example, is just plain crappy, and nowhere near as good as I can produce if I use the Sorenson Squeeze trial.
I think some codecs are just poorly implemented. Both of the Sorenson codecs can not be configured, and bitrate options are limited. The resulting video is horrible compared to the same result from the Sorenson encoder.
The animation codec for desktop QuickTime is just plain broken. even at the best quality settings, the output is full of noise and artifacts and is markedly inferior to the output from the video encoder in Max or even in the cheap little Camtasia screen recorder.
In order to get clean video in QuickTime format, I have tried every combination of codecs I can think of. I can't set the bitrate high enough with H.264 or most lossy codecs, and animation and graphics codecs are clearly broken. I seem to have to export huge files directly to component or raw output in order to get a high enough quality video.... and then, of course I have to find another tool to transcode that to something I can actually distribute.
What am I missing? I really want to use H.264. Is there a way to get at the deeper encoding options so I ca set up the VBR options and set a higher bitrate than the little slider on the options panel seems to allow?
What are other people doing? Are most people using a third party compression or encoding utility like Squeeze? If so, it sucks, because I didn't count on having to spend an additional 900 bucks on top of the cost of Adobe Master Collection.

ThreeDify,
Thanks for the info. I will try this out. I'm getting very discussed with AME. Yeah, there are lots of presets...but the output is terrible. Kinda like you find with having to use Squeeze. Am I missing something? There are posts all over the place that AME doesn't get it done so to speak. Where is Adobe addressing these issues?
Does AfterEffects use a different encoder? Why can I produce 'high quality' with AE and not with AME??? Yeah it takes longer to encode in AE but the final output is good. Hmmm.
My goal here is to render to 1280x720 and make it for presentation with my 'high power' computer. Then upload it to youtube HD. When I try to convert it to Youtube it looks like crap.
Question: What viewer do you use for .f4v files? I'm using Adobe Media Player, and the .f4v files I have already made don't look good at all.
I view with Quicktime and Windows Media Player. Get two different levels of quality with both. Same problem on the internet, IE8 doesn't view youtube videos as well as FireFox... Yes the delima goes on, and on, and on.........
I have got to get this to work..
I'm going to watch this thread for awhile. Hopefully others will share their successes.
Thanks.

New Mac Mini output to S-Video

I'm trying to output to S-Video using a new Mac Mini (2010).
If I use a Mini Display to DVI adapter and then the DVI to S-Video, will that work?
Mini Display to DVI: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
DVI to S-Video: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A
Looks like it'll "work", but will it "WORK"?
Thanks

Adapters won't work. MDP to DVI is digital only and S-Video needs 480i (analog).
You would need an expensive converter like http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=5280

Is the raw output from JSP and XSQLServlet the same?

Hi
Is there is difference between the raw output from XSQLServlet and JSP? For example, assuming the same content is being generated, is there some additional header information emitted by XSQLServlet that is not done by JSP?
I am using software that successfully consumes generated content from a JSP OK, but the same content (using the same XML/XSL) generated from XSQLServlet is being rejected. I am puzzled by this. Maybe this is due to some differences in servlet output or an encoding issue? The content is not HTML but XML-like with an "application" contentType, like Steve's SVG example.
It seems that XSQLServlet is showing some data prior to emitting the actual content, i.e. HTTP version, responding server version, content type and date, e.g.
HTTP/1.0 200 OK^M
Server: Resin/2.0.5^M
Content-type: application/x-sky; charset=UTF-8^M
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 06:45:34 GMT^M
^M
(then the generated content)
Is this preamble usually generated by a JSP also?
If not, can this information be turned off, or put another way, can XSQLServlet's raw output be set to be exactly like JSP? If not, is there a workaround?
I have tried setting the following XSQLConfig.xml
<suppress-mime-charset> for the mime-type &
<character-set-conversion>
<none/>
</character-set-conversion>
also, but to no avail.
Please help! I really want to use XSQLServlet!
Thanks.
Michael.

Yes, just less fine control over the process but the same engine.
