What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

The slower the speed, the fewer burn errors (or, in other words, you'll burn fewer "coasters"). I've always tried to burn at a slower speed, i.e. 2x - 4x. I'd rather wait a few minutes more and I've never had any burn errors.

    what are the advantages of shifting from @me and @mac to @icloud?

    probably no advantage, just Apple policy.
    I do not know are @mac users still have their e-mail addresses valid, however, @me works in parallel with @icloud and there is no difference which one you use. At least for the moment.

  • What are the difference is read/write speeds of PATA (ATA 100) and SATA?

    I am thinking of putting a SATA HDD in my Super Drive bay of my Early 2008 MacBook Pro (NON-Unibody) and I am currious of what the difference is in speeds of these connectors. The optical drive's connector is an ATA100 and I found a OptiBay that converts the SATA into ATA100. I know there is a difference but only plan on putting Music and other media files on the HDD. Thanks for any help!

    This is the adapter I found and it seems to be what I am looking for. What do you think?

  • Converting RAW to DNG! What are the advantages / disadvantages?

    I have Canon cameras and shoot RAW, but the question itself is surely also valid for Nikon, Sony or other brand-shooters.
    When importing my pictures to Lightroom, I could convert them to DNG but didn't do this up to now, because I do not know what I loose. I suppose that I loose the ability to process my files with DPP, but I will not do that anyhow. I can appreciate the advantage of having the file in an open documented format, where even I could easily write a reader for it. So the answer should not be what I can easily find in the Adobe introduction into DNG. I have also the DNG specification in front of me, and I can read it, because I once wrote a program to read TIFF files. I understand that I could add the original RAW image stream, but I do not want using up the space wasted for this. I know, that all development parameters used for the specific RAW image can be written with the image file instead of having those stored in a database or a side-car-file.
    But what I did not find until now a technical explanation about what happens during the convert. Who can enlighten me? Where do I find the missing technical explanations?
    Thanks in advance!

    That wasn't the question... .
    Based on the title of the thread and your initial post, it seems like your question had a lot of
    "What are the advantages / disadvantages?"
    in it, and only a little
    "What happens at a technical level when converting"
    But if you want more detailed info about conversion, and you have the aptitude to understand, I recommend doing what Lr5user-pt recommended:
    Download the DNG SDK and dig in - all your questions will be answered (and if not, you can also ask DNG-specific technical questions in the DNG forum).
    As far as my "sources" regarding the technical summary I presented, they are many and varied, none of which are the DNG SDK. In other words, my knowledge is based more on experience over the years - I don't know all the details under the hood..
    Some experiments to consider doing:
    * exiftool (-X) a proprietary raw file, then convert to DNG and repeat.
    * open a proprietary raw in a DNG-supporting software of your choice and inspect metadata, then open the converted DNG in the same software and re-evaluate. Compare to proprietary raw opened in manufacturer's software, and what you see via exiftool.
    Tom Hogarty (Lightroom project manager) and others who know have said: "DNG converter discards no metadata", and I believe them, but haven't verified for myself. Yet once proprietary metadata is in the DNG, most (all?) software will no longer decode it. A prime example is focus points - presumably they're there, but once converted, focus point feature is no longer supported. The amount of work required to support converted focus point data is unknown (to me), but as far as I know, no software has ventured to do it. If you want focus points, don't convert.
    If you want the truth, I think for most people it's "not wise" to convert to DNG. Why? because unless you already know why you are converting (and need to convert to satisfy your goals), or you already know why you must NOT convert (e.g. so you can open the files in mfr.software, and see focus points..) the pros and cons are likely to be a wash, and now you have twice the number of raw files, unless you discard your originals, which would be REALLY "not wise", in my opinion. If you find the notion of "openly documented format" sufficiently compelling, then, ya know, more power to ya (I don't judge..), but there is no guarantee that DNG will outlast NEF (or..), and if it does, there will be ample opportunity to convert before you're left in the cold, unless you're stuck in a cave for a few decades, or are kryogenically frozen.. True, if all companies die, you may be able to write your own DNG converter (/reader), given the DNG documentation, but FWIW, NEF is also thoroughly documented (document is in freely downloadable SDK), and reverse engineerable (that's what Adobe and Phil Harvey does), so you could also write your own NEF converter, so not really a very compelling argument, not this year anyway - ask me again in a few decades..
    If filesize is a main draw, then be sure NOT to save the hi-rez previews in your DNGs, otherwise you've just lost most or all of the filesize advantage. Also, you can strip previews from some proprietary raws (e.g. NEFs), to reduce filesize.
    Personally, if DNG supported sidecars, I would be more likely to convert, because file-management/backup is only an issue if you "forget" about xmp sidecars (and I do not forget), and I'd rather have my xmp in separate ready-to-read xml text files, rather than embedded in binary files, but hey, that's me..
    PS - I always use/encourage-others-to-use DNG when distributing raws to others for use in Adobe software, so xmp is not separate and can not get lost.
    PPS - proprietary raws and dngs are both just glorified tiff files - raw data, previews, and metadata..
    Don't get me wrong: I am NOT anti-DNG, and in fact - just the opposite: I am PRO dng, it's just that I wouldn't (don't) convert my own raws to DNG at this point. If you find the reasons to convert now are sufficiently compelling, you have my complete support and cooperation, fwiw..
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • What are the advantages of compressor and it it even necessary

    what are the advantages of compressor and it it even necessary?

    Necessary for some and not for others – probably a large majority – who can by with the presets avalaible in FCX.
    The users who need Compressor are those who want to control the parameters of the encodes to get the best possible trade-off between file size and quality. Or those who want to do things like standards conversions, complex frame speed changes, better re-scaling capabilities, de-interlacing, re-interlacing, output formats beyond which are available in FCX, chapter markers for DVD and Blu-Ray authoring, batch conversions for multiple purposes through droplets, access to clusters for faster rendering.

  • What are the advantages to using BlazeDS or Granite?

    We have decided to use Flex3 to upgrade our UI. We have heard
    good things about using Granite Data Services, but it requires jdk5
    or higher, and the same for BlazeDS.
    We are currently using Websphere 6.0 and are discussing our
    environment options: replace Websphere with JBoss 4.2 (Sun jdk6),
    upgrade to Websphere 6.1 (IBM jdk5), or keep the current Websphere
    6.0 (IBM jdk4). The concerns are upgrade cost, and time to develop
    and qa any changes to the environment.
    We would like to get some feedback on pros and cons of using
    Flex with these three environments. If we stay with jdk4, will we
    spend nn% more time writing code that could have been done out of
    the box with Granite? Are there improvements with memory, speed,
    etc. using Flex with a later version of the jdk? Will development
    time be shorter with a later version of the jdk? What are the
    advantages and disadvantages of using Flex with WebSphere versus
    JBoss?
    Thanks for your input!

    BBM and PIN messages are messages sent from one BlackBerry to another.  The message is composed by the sender and goes through RIM's secure server before being delivered to the recipient.  They are only available to BlackBerry users.
    The thing I like about them is how you can see if they've been received by the recipient.  Once the message reaches the recipient's phone, you'll notice a small 'D' at the start of your message.  This means it's been delivered.  When the recipient opens the message, that 'D' will switch to an 'R', for 'read'.  So now you know that it's actually been received by the recipient.
    One more great thing about these messages is that there is no limit to length.  As you're probably aware, most carriers limit text messages to 160 characters; not so with these messages, they can be much longer.
    BBM and PIN messages are the same type of message, but with PIN messages you're limited to just that one contact receiving it.  With BBM, you can have many contacts in on a chat or you can broadcast a message to many contacts at once.
    I hope that explains things for you.

  • So what are the advantages with Intel?

    What are the advantages/disadvantages with these new Intel processors? Sheesh, I just bought a new laptop and now its outdated lol. Looks like I will try to seel this sucker, and buy the new ones when everything seems to stop updating at Apple...

    Basic Advantages... Faster speeds, lower heat. This makes any portable computer very happy.
    Basic Disadvantages... software compatibility problems? Native PowerPC applications now run in a sort of emulation mode. Users may need to migrate to software which runs natively on Intel Macs, or has Universal Binaries available. Could be an additional cost to the user.
    and buy the new ones when everything seems to stop updating at Apple...
    Stops updating?! If you wait for that, you'll never make a purchase. Technology changes very quickly, and it's nearly impossible to have the latest model for any decent length of time before it is updated.
    Keep in mind... when machines get updated, that does NOT mean the previous model is obsolete.
    I'm sure your current computer is still just as good as the day you bought it. No one is forcing you to upgrade.
    If your machine still suits your needs, then stay with it. I'm sure I'll get another 2-3 years of solid happy use from my G4 Powerbook.

  • What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique ?

    What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique

    Hi Plawansai,
    I saw your question that is still unanswered.
    I believe an advantage of using a passive monitoring technique is that it won't interfer with live traffic, as it does not inject traffic into the network or modify the traffic that is already on the network.
    One drawback anyway, is that post-processing time can take a large amount of time with passive monitoring!
    A combination of the two monitoring methods seems to be the route to go.

  • What are the key requirements to write a recursive cte?

    what are the key requirements to write a recursive cte?
    when we will go for a recursive cte.

    A common table expression (CTE) can be thought of as a temporary result set that is defined within the execution scope of a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or CREATE VIEW statement. A CTE is similar to a derived table in that it is not stored as an
    object and lasts only for the duration of the query. Unlike a derived table, a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query.
    A CTE can be used to:
    Create a recursive query. For more information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186243%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
    Substitute for a view when the general use of a view is not required; that is, you do not have to store the definition in metadata.
    Enable grouping by a column that is derived from a scalar subselect, or a function that is either not deterministic or has external access.
    Reference the resulting table multiple times in the same statement.

  • I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?

    I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?  How do I set this up?????

    I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
    You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    Extend the range of your network by adding AirPort Express to your existing AirPortExtreme or AirPort Express wireless network (this is called a Wireless DistributionSystem, or WDS). "
    Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
    AirPort Express Network
    You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wirelessnetwork by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network andshare the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect yourAirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can useAirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to yourAirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
    n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or the AirPort Express Assistant on acomputer using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range ofyour AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
    Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall networkperformance.

  • Mobile hotspots---what are the advantages?  better reception?

    What are the advantages of getting a mobile hotspot---such as the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 4620L---over simply using the hotspot feature of a tablet (such as the Samsung Galaxy 7.7" or a Motorola Xyboard 8.2") or smartphone (such as the Samsung Stratosphere)?
    More specifically, is the reception better?  For example, in an area of marginal data signal strength, would the mobile hotspot be more likely (as a sort of specialized device) to get a usable signal than would a mobile-hotspot-enabled tablet or smartphone?

    Mobile Hotspot devices like the MiFi products are likely to be more configurable than the hotspot features you are provided with by your smart phone/tablet. 
    Probabally the biggest difference is that a MiFi can support more devices than your smart device.  Another example would be purchasing a larger battery for a MiFi.  Running a hotspot feature on your phone will drain your phone battery quicker.  Haveing a MiFi may extend your battery life and connection sessions simply because the connected devices and mifi do not rely on each other for power.  As AZ mentioned, performance will boil down to the hardware/radios that have been installed.  More powerful equiptment will always perform better.
    In reality they both do the same thing, provide you and others a connection to the internet that you can bring where ever you go.

  • FM7.1 to FM10 : What are the advantages?

    Hello,
    I have to use FrameMaker on Solaris, in a networked environment.
    Currently I am using 7.1 and want to move to 10.
    7.1 already has serious issues with importing pdf files.(http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891661?tstart=30)
    You see I need to give some good reasons to my boss so as to convince him!
    So 1st I want to know if there is a stable 10 ver. that works on Solaris.
    2nd-ly it would be excellent if someone can say very briefly, what are the advantages/problems in ver 10 over 7.1 for Solaris environment.
    Particularly looking out answers from the user "Error7103 "!
    Thanks in advance,
    DP

    FrameMaker 8 supports Unicode too and is faster and more stable than FrameMaker 10.
    Another question that has to be considered is:
    SoLarry?
    Do you want to make any investments in the former Sun platforms now owned by Leisure Suit Larry Ellison?
    If you are running Frame native on Solaris, you are running on SPARC workstations. Sun discontinued those over a year prior to the Oracle Assimilation. Since then, even the Solaris x86 workstations are gone. Oracle is out of the desktop biz, except for thin clients. If a seriously nasty security exploit appears for SparcStations, ORCL may not patch it promptly. As your hardware ages and fails, you may find yourself getting parts from eBay.
    I suspect that the bottom line for this inquiry is that it's not likely to be a an FM7 to FM8 upgrade on Solaris, but a total platform migration to Windows. The label on that can reads: Worms: species, quantity and condition unknown.

  • What are the advantages..

    Hi friends,
          can you please tell me <b>what are the advantages of using MVC?</b> because <b>i can use ABAP Objects without using MVC.</b>
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Kannan.

    Hi Kanna,
            For Dynamically componentised you need to use controller.In the main page you partition for what you want to present dynamically and then call controller as a response to the user.What the action you have take in case of Page flow logic(Event Handler) need to be placed in controller.
    Using the MVC design pattern has the following advantages:
    ·        Structuring BSP applications is simplified, since the view is cleanly separated from the controller and the model.  This not only facilitates changing BSP applications, but also considerably improves their maintenance.
    ·        You have the option of generating program-driven layout. The HTML/XML output is therefore created by program code instead of a page with scripting.
    ·        Navigation using the <bsp:goto> element and call using the <bsp:call> element. The advantage of using <bsp:goto> navigation over redirect is that there is no additional network traffic. Furthermore, you remain in the same work process, which can have advantages for creating objects and memory space. The call using <bsp:call> element is more variable than adding them using INCLUDEdirective, since it is triggered at runtime.
    With the call option using <bsp:call>, you can also distribute the user interface into components.
    ·        Optimized performance due to fewer redirects.
    ·        Intuitive and east-to-use interface for application development.
    Main advantage of MVC is that you can keep these(Model View ,Controller) separately.If you need to change in logic you do not have to worry about presentation(View).
    Regards,
    Albert
