Turning Letterbox back into Anamorphic

Hello everyone. I've been working on a 16:9 SD project and I'm afraid I've edited myself into a corner. My producers wanted to see the project in letterbox format as we were editing the material together. However the final form of the video will be full screen anamorphic to be played back on a 16:9 plasma screen in a booth. So now that I'm almost finish with the project, how can I export it in full screen anamorphic for the DVD? Is there a easy (or even semi easy) way to do this or have I really screwed myself & have to assemble the edit from scratch? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your footage is 16:9 anamorphic. If so, DON'T scale up your letterboxed clips. They will suffer a significant quality loss. it is easy to convert the sequence and video clips to anamorphic with just a feww clicks.
duplicate your sequence
change the settings of that sequence to anamorphic - your video will now appear letterboxed within the 16:9 frame - don't worry
select all the video clips and choose "remove attributes" from the context menu -remove basic motion and distort - if the clips had previously been ID'ed as anamorphic, they will all go back to full frame anamorphic. voila!
You might have to reposition any titles or still images, etc, but all your video will be able to resized in this way/.

Problems turning bytes back into a des key

hi there-
i'm writing a client/server application the uses encryption to send files back and forth. i have been able to get my program to receive certificates from the client and server. i have generated a des key using:
KeyGenerator kg = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES");
java.security.Key secretkey = kg.generateKey();
and I want to send that to the server, encrypted with the public key. i'm trying to do it like this:
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA");
cipher.init ( Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key); //key is the public key
theBytes [] = secretkey.getEncoded(); //send secretkey
bytesEncrypted [] = cipher.doFinal(theBytes);
outToServer.writeInt(bytesEncrypted.length);
outToServer.write(bytesEncrypted);
the problem is, once i transmit the des key and decrypt it with the private key, i dont know how to turn it back into a des key from the bytes. can someone help me out bigtime and let me know how i can go about doing this?
thanks a bunch!

In followup to my previous reply, here is the sample code.
import java.security.spec.KeySpec;
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory;
import javax.crypto.spec.DESKeySpec;
public class SecretKeyTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
          KeyGenerator kg = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES", "SunJCE");
          SecretKey sk1 = kg.generateKey();
          System.out.println(sk1);
          byte [] sk1Bytes = sk1.getEncoded();
          SecretKeyFactory skf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("DES");
          KeySpec spec = new DESKeySpec(sk1Bytes);
          SecretKey sk2 = skf.generateSecret(spec);
          System.out.println(sk1.equals(sk2) ? "Equal" : "Not Equal");
}

I scanned some black and white negatives into my computer (iMac) where they were stored aas positives on the hard disc. When I import them to iPhoto they turn back into negatives. How do I change them into positives for printing?

I have scanned some black and white negatives into my computer(iMac) where they are stored on the hard disc as positives.When I import them into iPhoto to print they turn back into negatives.How do I turn them back into positives?

That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile. You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from Toad's Cellar . Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

Is there any way to turn missing photos back into printable jpegs?

Using LR 5. Lost about 1500 jPeg images due to corrupted disk drive. However, LR5 still displays a remarkably sharp image under "missing photos". Is there any way to turn these back into printable jpegs? These are family vacation photos that had not yet been backed up to additional drives.

You want to extract LR previews as images. Googling for this shows several links:

Can you convert a 3D object back into a 2D layer?

I am drawing out a map of a world and need to design the poles while the layer is in a 3D sphere to prevent distortion. In CS5, I would turn the layer into a 3D.sphere, draw on it to map out the land masses, then turn it back into a 2D layer and refine. However, I can't seem to do this on CS6. Is there a way for me to do that?
Thank you.

double click on the sub layer of the 3d layer in the layer panel. This should open the diffuse layer that you're working on.

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?
What I am ultimately wanting to do is make more room on my computer by backing up all of my files onto the external hard drive and then deleting them off of my computer. However, neededing to be able to retrieve them from the external hard drive later down the road.
From what I have read and am trying to understand, is that I probably shouldn't have used time machine. I need to use the external hard drive like a basic flash drive where I can put things on and get things off without having it automatically update through time machine everytime I connect it to my computer.
Not tech savvy at all and barely understand basics. I need very simple and easy to understand explanations.

BIG BIG MISTAKE ..... youre making a linchpin deathtrap for your data trying to shove everything on a single fragile HD.
Dont suffer the tragedy other people make, buy another or 2 more HD, theyre cheap as dust.
The number of people who have experienced terror by having a single external HD backup is enormous. One failure that WILL HAPPEN, and kaput,......all gone!
Dont do it, its all about redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.
follow here:
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Deleting them off your computer is fine....having only ONE copy is extremely BAD.
The Tragedy that will be, the tragedy that never should be
Always presume correctly that your data is priceless and takes a very long time to create and often is irreplaceable. Always presume accurately that hard drives are extremely cheap, and you have no excuse not to have multiple redundant copies of your data copied on hard drives and squirreled away several places, lockboxes, safes, fireboxes, offsite and otherwise.
Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail (the very same is true of SSD). Hard drives dont die when aged, hard drives die at any age, and peak in death when young and slowly increase in risk as they age.
Never practice at any time for any reason the false premise and unreal sense of security in thinking your data is safe on any single external hard drive. This is never the case and has proven to be the single most common horrible tragedy of data loss that exists.
Many 100s of millions of hours of lost work and data are lost each year due to this single common false security. This is an unnatural disaster that can avoid by making all data redundant and then redundant again. If you let a $60 additional redundant hard drive and 3 hours of copying stand between you and years of work, then you've made a fundamental mistake countless 1000s of people each year have come to regret.

My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

For some reason when I shut down my computer then turn it back on, it comes back directly into my account, bypassing having to enter a password to get into my account. This works in direct conflict with the parental controls I've got set up. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for the quick response to my question. I tested your directions and it works!! Thank you. I would never have figured that out. I knew I had to go into System Preferences but would not have guessed that I needed to have Automatic Login set to off.

Once you install RAM into Mac book, do I just turn it back on? Do I need to perform some type of action?

I received some great replies concerning my increasing the RAM on my laptop. From the information gathered I was able to gather more information and am curious as to what and if there are more steps besides the ones I've listed below:
1. Power off
2. Take battery cover off.
3. Remove battery cover.
4. Remove battery.
5. Remove 3 screws.
6. Remove L bracket.
7. Remove RAM(2 sticks of 512MB).
8. Install new RAM(2 sticks of 1GB).
9. Insure the new RAM is snug into the slot.
10.Reverse the process.
Now at this point do I just power it back up or do I need to perform some other type of action.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          MacBook
Model Identifier:          MacBook2,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          MB21.00A5.B07
SMC Version (system):          1.17f0
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tq1

Just turn it back on. The MacBook will automaticly recognize the new RAM.
If the MacBook doesn't turn on the RAM may not be the right speed for a Mac. Macs are very finicky about RAM. Much more so than PCs. The way to test that would be to put one of the old RAM sticks back in one slot and start up.
