Use another codec besides DV in my DV-based FCPro project?

I'm creating some animation in After Effects that happens to look terrible when I compress it down to DV to use in Final Cut 4. Is there a way for me to go straight from After Effects to some other codec (say, MPEG-4), use that file in FCPro (even though my sequence is DV-based), then when I compress in DVD Studio Pro, simply have it use the MPEG-4 original rather than the FCPro DV-converted version? I feel like the step to convert to DV is in some sense unnecessary since it's only an intermediate format, and I'm paying a steep penalty in video quality.
Don't know if I worded that clearly enough...please let me know how I can clarify the question if it's confusing.
Thanks.
G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Try this:
Sequence>Settings>General>Quicktime Video Settings>Compressor>Animation>Options>Millions of Colors
you will have the aspect ratio of your DV but use the animation codec which is lossless.
cheers,
x

Using filter in PAPI-WS to search instances based on project variables

Hi All
I wanted to search the BPM instances from my external application. Used PAP-WS to do that.
To be precise, I was using the filterbean, and have set the process scope, status scope, and the variable on which I want to filter.
However, I noticed that if the variable specified in the filter is a 'project' variable instead of the 'instance' variable for the process, then BPM does not
search the instances and throws an exception.
The code works fine if the variable in filterbean is an instance variable in the process.
Is it possible to search for the processes based on the values of project variables?
Below is the code snippet and the exception details.
Code snipppet:
PapiWebService port = initializePapiWS(participantId); //private method, dont bother about this
ProcessIdSetBean b = new ProcessIdSetBean();
List<String> processids = b.getProcessIds();
processids.add("/MYPROCESS");
FilterBean fb = new FilterBean();
SearchScopeBean ssb = new SearchScopeBean();
ssb.setParticipantScope(ParticipantScope.ALL);
ssb.setStatusScope(StatusScope.ALL);
fb.setSearchScope(ssb);
List<FilterAttributeBean> fabList = fb.getAttributes();
FilterAttributeBean fab =new FilterAttributeBean();
fab.setVariableId("messageNo");
fab.setComparison(Comparison.IS);
fab.setValue("123");
fab.setIsParametric(false);
fabList.add(fab);
InstanceInfoBeanList iabl = null;
try{
iabl = port.processesGetInstancesByFilter(b, fb);

Hi Mikael,
Thank you for your input. Sorry for my delayed response, I was not alerted that anyone had replied. Anyway, the code you show above, as far as I know, will sort the results by a formula, but not limit results to that formula. For now we've temporarily settled
on this approach of sorting by distance as this still gives value to the end user. We can also write some JavaScript to display the distance for each item using the longitude and latitude values for each item.
In my mind that query above needs something similar to "between dates" (i.e. Range) syntax whereas we would need "within a geolocation distance".
I admit that my knowledge of refiners is not great so I might just need to spend some time with them to understand this all better but at the moment I still don't see how you limit the result set. You could limit the results in JavaScript after the search
has run (i.e. hide items that aren't within the given distance) but this would break the interaction with the other refiners on the page, especially if they are displaying counts (that are based on the original query). Unless there is an event
we can hook into and filter the search results as a last step before they (and the refiners) are rendered on the page?
Thanks for your input,
James.

Using another Mp3 codec in Itunes ?

Is their a way to use other Mp3 codec in Itunes ?
I would like to put Lame Mp3 encoder in Itune !
Thanks

iTunes for Windows does not have the ability to use an external encoder. You can still import using another program and drop it into iTunes. Many encoders (including CDex, and I'm pretty sure EAC) use online databases and can ge the same album info as iTunes.

Black Screen - Get Chime - Can Boot off HDD using another Mac - iMac 24in.

Hope someone can help me here, as I'm at my wits end.
I've got two issues, one with my MacBook Pro 17in, 4GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm (2008) and another with my iMac 24in. 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200rpm (2009).
Firstly the MBP, left work on Thursday last week, got home, powered up the MBP and got a black screen!!! Tried resetting PRAM, SMC, booting in safe mode, removing and re-installing RAM, removing battery and mains power and leaving off overnight etc etc, yet nothing happens. Benn all over the forums and have not found any solution to get my beloved MBP working on it's own. I can boot off the HDD using another MBP 15in, re-install Snow Leopard and as far as I can tell the HDD is fine, as I have run disk utility and it tells me the HDD is OK.
I can't figure this out and it's doing my head in, as I use this laptop for business use and just can't afford to go out and buy another Mac. I should point out that this MBP never had any issues when running on Leopard, but ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I have had nothing, but trouble. I did a clean install, in fact I have done it at least twice, even erasing the HDD securely, both at 7pass and 35pass, yet I have had permissions issues regularly and on the odd occasion, I have also had the problem of the HDD not being recognised.
The iMac is nearly the same, but the screen is working, although the iMac doesn't see the HDD no matter what way I do, again, reset PRAM, SMC, safe boot etc etc. In truth the iMac has been a lot more unreliable, but with the screen working, if I can get any solutions here, then I'll be working to work on that without the need or hassle of working via another.
I think that the MBP is only just still under warranty, but the iMac definitely is, but I need at least one working for business use, so really only want to let Apple have one at a time to look at/repair etc.
Ideally, as the HDD is working in the MBP, if I could get a solution to the black screen issue, then I could do without the iMac for whatever time it takes, so if there is anyone out there that can help, I'd be so grateful.
One last thing, when I bought the iMac 24in., I also bought an iMac 20in., but I never upgraded the 20in. to Snow Leopard and to this day, it has worked flawlessly, without a single issue ever.
Perhaps, I'm getting paranoid here, but there seems to me to be a link between the ongoing and regularly occurring problems with both Macs ant the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Why also, or is it just pure unadulterated coincidence that both the MBP and the iMac 24in have failed at pretty much the same time??!!!!
I'm going mental here, so I hope someone out there has a better fix, then me overdosing on Prozac!!
PS
I'm not a mac expert, not good with a soldering iron either, but I'm capable of following good instructions.

Using Snow Leopard forum is probably your best bet.
I don't care if someone has 20+ yrs, I still like having a good troubleshooting book/manual handy.
Mac: can't get by without bootable backups, even if you use TimeMachine, clone your system. Save you all this fuss and work.
Then invest in high quality disk repair and maintenance program.
Disk Warrior / TechTool Pro 5 / Drive Genius 3 - top 3 probably
There are always going to be normal items you just ignore with Repair Permissions. Useful to do once in a while but not magic. Same with SMC and the rest. Running disk repair is one of those things that it seems should be done before there is trouble, not after, and a weakness in HFS file system and disk directory.
Apple Support is a good place to start looking and then hardware category.
http://www.apple.com/support
http://www.apple.com/support/imac /macbookpro etc
Make sure all your software is current, don't install anything you are unsure of or can do without.
Run Apple Hardware Test off your OEM DVD specific to the Mac.
Now, have you Googled for this?
have you looked at reports about 500GB drives used in some Macs that had issues and were offered firmware update for the drive?
Considered just using another drive connected to iMac?
You can overheat a hard drive with needlessly running 7 and 35-write pass, besides which the best way to map out bad blocks is not Disk Utility.

I'd direct your replies to iMac and MacBook Pro as well as to Using OS X Snow Leopard areas.

How to use opus codec in pjsip in ios ?

how to use opus codec in pjsip in ios ?

Hi Jay,
     Thanx for quick response,
     Do you mean to say that to use h264 or vp6 I have to make application in another technology/ using open source library as plugin.
     or we can directly use h264 in our application, as like we have option for two codec for audio in that, and just setting the codec property we were able to use.
Thanx in advance.

Dropped Frames Using JPEG Codec In Final Cut 5

Hello,
Can anyone out there please tell me if they have had any problems with DROPPED FRAMES using the JPEG codec whilst editing a sequence of JPEG stills?
I'm using Final Cut Pro 5 on a Duel GHZ G5 with a 3TB Fibre Channel media drive (Very, very fast. Can easily work with HD and not fall over) The kit also has a Blackmagic SD card which handles the JPEG codec.
I've tried everything I can think of, changing settings, checking hardware and stamping my feet. My product support tells me that Apple doesn't support the JPEG codec and editing sequences with it will cause Final Cut to drop frames. Has anyone else over come or had this problem? The sequences also use .wav & .aiff audio files. The show I'm editing is animation so there is no capturing and editing of hours and hours of rushes, it's all individual files.
Any help or advice out there?
Thanks in advance!
Ben
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

We've been trying that, exporting all the individual files as a single quicktime movie and using that to edit, but our problem is that due to the nature of the production (An animated television series) all work in progress renders we get are JPEG.
This is because the software we're using to animate with (Celaction 2d) can only output un-compressed or JPEG Quicktime movies. To keep our hard disk space down (Even though we have plenty) it'll be great to fix the JPEG problem once and for all. Otherwise I guess it'll be re-rendering all the JPEG movies into another codec? Which is time consuming.
Anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of any issues using .wav files?
Thanks again!

i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

You can't buy another one. You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

How to use another java program to stop this running prpgram???

}But I hope to use another java program to stop it when it is running instead of pressing CRTL + C to stop it.
How to do it??
Any example??
Thanks a lot!!

Sorry, I think i did not express cearly. It is my fault.
I re-write my requirements again:
I have
Class AAA1.java,
Class AAA2.java,
Class AAA3.java,
Class AAA20.java...
etc
they all look like the program I posted first time,, once executed, they will run for ever, and they will be stopped until I press CRTL + C;
Now I hope to use another java class StopProgram.java to stop them 1 by 1 or at once instead of pressing CRTL + C;
In this case, how to code this StopProgram.java ??
Thanks

Do you really need a JSF component for that? You can use h:panelGroup and some JS. But a simple div with some JS is also sufficient.

I have an icloud email account that my spouse used and he is gone now, can I delete this one and use another or will this delete information?

I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc.
In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc. I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.
