What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a "widescreen anamorphic" 16:9 SD DVD (original aspect ratio is 14:9)?

I just received the masters for a new SD DVD. I would like to author a "widescreen anamorphic" SD DVD horizontally squeezed widescreen image stored in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio DVD image frame. (On 4:3 displays, mattes should preserve the original aspect ratio. On 16:9 displays the image will fill the screen at the highest possible resolution.)
Below I've listed the specs of the Digi Beta master tapes the producers have sent to me for digitizing. I'd like to know this: What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a widescreen anamorphic SD DVD, using material with an original aspect ratio of 14:9?
I've also listed my guesses below. Please let me know if my guesses are right. If not, please suggest alternatives (and if possible explain why.)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF EXISTING MASTER:
Tape: DigiBeta
Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
Frame Size: 720 x 480
Anamorphic: Full-Height Anamorphic (16:9 image displayed in letterboxed, non-distored 4:3)
Display Format: 4:3 Letterbox
MY GUESS AT IDEAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (for a DigiBeta, that is):
Tape: DigiBeta
Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
Pixel Aspect: Square
Frame Size: 720 x 540
Anamorphic: YES
Display Format: 16:9 Anamorphic (horizontally squeezed widescreen image)
Please feel free to ask for clarification or further information you need to answer my question.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Best, Noetical.
BTW, I can't wait for the day when everything has gone digital and we get digital intermediates instead of tapes to digitize!

Hi Nick...thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

What you have there is a mess.
NTSC pixels are never square.
NTSC is 720x486, even when it is Anamorphic.
You shouldn't be using an already letterboxed master to make an Anamorphic version. Get the master that was made before the letterboxing stage.
When you make an Anamorphic DVD it should display as 16:9 full screen automatically on widescreen TVs.
The same DVD will automatically letterbox on 4:3 TVs.
Um yeah...duh. That's exactly what I was trying to explain in the preface of my question. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear...all these things you mention are the reasons I'm putting together a list of the technical specs of the DigiBeta I need so I can have them send that instead of the stupid letterboxed version.
Look, I'm sending this request to some intern at their offices in England, asking for a master with which I can make an Anamorphic DVD. They already sent me this master, which as you and I both agree is an idiotic asset to use for these purposes. As such, I was hoping for advice on a more precise way of requesting the master that I need than asking for "the master that was made before the letterboxing stage." Upon reflection, perhaps I'll just do that. If you or anyone else has a suggestion about something I should add to my request that would improve the odds of them sending the tape I need, please repond. Thank you!
BTW, It's been a long time since anyone has responded to something I've written or said as though I'm an idiot. I remember now that I don't really like it. (Moving along...)

24GB RAM
SSD for boot drive
GHz, but not necessarily dual. Apple doesn't sell dual 3.33s.
A single 3.33 6-core should do fine and "sweet spot" (when looking, there is "4-core" build to order..,. and like everything else on the Store, why in heavens they didn't be more accurate and clear and say "single socket" and then have "dual processor configurations" 0 I guess the writers don't understand or know workstations or jargon? I say that 'cause some have trouble even finding the 6-core 3.33 choice ($1200 over stock 2.8 4-core).
W3680 though can be found on Buy.com for $620 (was $589 at earlier date) and people are known to then sell the stock cpu $300 making it even more attractive and save $600-900 that way rather easily. Or not.
But yes, I would send you to MPG.com site as well and read through what is on there.

KMDF Driver. What are the recommended limits for buffer size when calling WdfCommonBufferCreate

Hi,
I have a customer who wants to really stress-test his PCIe hardware. His idea is to declare two 8 GB buffers alternately filled by application software and fetched by scatter/gather DMA in the hardware (Transfer to PCIe card). If I calculate this through,
this is a maximum of 2M scatter/gather elements per buffer or 32 MByte, assuming S/G element is 16 bytes. i.e. 64 MByte logically contiguous memory as a common buffer for storing the S/G lists. The test system will have plenty of memory, 32 G upwards.
Still don't think I am likely to get a 64MByte common buffer from the system or even two disjunct 32 Mbyte buffers. If I look at poolmon on my server, the current size for NP is only 86M
So I expect the driver will have to handle multiple calls to EvtProgramDma, each covering just part of the 8G to be transferred.
Still I have two questions:
1) Are there any recommendations, house numbers from experience etc. regarding what is a usable maximum size I can reliably get for a common buffer with a call to WdfCommonBufferCreate (percentage of NP pool?, absolute number? ...). The common buffer is
for storing the S/G elements for the HW DMA controller
2) If I just declare a huge array of SCATTER_GATHER_ELEMENT[4M] or 2x huge arrays SCATTER_GATHER_ELEMENT[2M] in the device context (to be managed later by WdfMemoryCreatePreallocated() etc.) , will windows refuse to load the driver because the driver footprint
is too large?
We are talking about Windows 7/x64
Thanks,
Charles

Don,
thanks for your reply. The card is always physically present in the test system which means I could load the driver at boot time, but it would have to be after PCIe enumeration of course.
So far I have always managed to avoid writing a boot-start driver, my main objection being for "purist" reasons. I understand the MS documentation to mean that boot-start is really only intended for devices that are required to boot the system
(disk, console, keyboard, maybe network ....). I am aware of the advantage of boot-start though, a much higher probability of getting contiguous memory in larger chunks. This driver however is definitely not relevant for system start. The add-in card is essentially
a high performance source of test data and only runs when a SW application has been started.
The card does have high performance scatter/gather DMA support also 64-bit addressing capability.
I do wish Microsoft would issue some guidelines regarding realistic sizing of common buffers, it would make my discussion easier. Yes, I could write a test driver and measure it out but I don't really have time for that. Microsoft surely have test/application
teams for figuring these things out.

WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDED CERTIFICATIONS FOR A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER?

HI FRIENDS COULD SOME ONE HELP ME OUT WITH THE LIST OF RECOMMENDED CERTIFICATION FOR A PROGRAMMER. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF MY WORKING PLATFORM. I WORK IN C/C++ AS FRONTEND WITH UNIX AS BACKEND. I ALSO DEAL WITH UML AT TIMES. SO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT TO SPOT THE EXACT CERTIFICATION WHICH WOULD HELP ME IN MY CARRIER.
Edited by: user11087237 on 20 Apr, 2009 9:43 PM

You can get an OCP (Advanced PL/SQL) by completing 1z0-146. You have in practice to get PLSQL OCA first.
You can also get OCP via a forms route instead .... 1z0-141. What I am trying to say is Oracle has a number of products other than sql* Forms, and forms may be in decline, so if you are not already familiar with forms that may not be the best place to put efforts.
What I was trying to say that is possilbly that effot getting to know apex (application express) may be better than time spent trying to ge to grips with and certifiying in Forms. (Though as far as I am aware there is no apex certification).
i feel that you suggest me something other than oca /ocp certification. if i am right do please clear me out . and for your information i have worked in sql & plsql for quite a good time.In summary
I am suggesting you seriously consider Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate(OCA) and Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional (OCP).
However the case for studying for (Oracle Forms Developer Certified Professional (OCP)) is perhaps less clear cut if you have not aleady got forms experience, and that for you effort may be better spent elsewhere, possilby even in non certified study (jdeveloper, application express, oracle designer ... )

What Are the Recommended Guidelines for Importing HTML into InDesign?

I would like to introduce an html document into an InDesign project - is that even possible?
I'm not an MS Word user, but am running Open Office, should that be required in addition to having the entirety of the Extended CS6 Design-Web suite.
Thank you very much for any replies.
Kind regards,
Kelly

Hi Petteri,
Thanks for answering.
The final format would be destined for the printer who would prefer the file to be from InDesign.
I'm aware of the quality differences between images intended for print and those for the web.
The short version of the idea is to take the tabular (i.e., ugly) data generated from one program and edit it into something more attractive while also making the folks at the print shop happy. WTides (or some other derived flavor of XTides) can generate plain text or html tables. The html can be templated so that there is a minimal amount of post editing required. The images in the html tags can be high resolution images of the various symbols; e.g., moon phases, etc.
Thank you again for any suggestions.

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

Hello cpreasbeck,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
Transition Guide Xserve
http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.

What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following end points are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

Hi All,
What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following clients are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

Please advise. Many Thanks.

Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports. :)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings. I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part. Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings. You have to do it based on ports
as the traffic could be peer to peer.

What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?

What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?. As per the IMQ admin documentation , using the default built-in persistence type which is through unix flat files is much efficient and faster, compared to the database persistence .
Tried setting up the jdbc stuff for database persistence on iAS 6.5 . I am getting the following
error .

Any thoughts?

From the output, you are using imq 2.0. In that release
the key used to persist a durable subscriber in the database
table has a limit of 100 characters. The output shows that
your value is:
SystemManager%3ASystemManagerEngine%2BiMQ+Destination%0AgetName%28%29%3A%09%09SM_Res
ponse%0AClass%3A%09%09%09com.sun.messaging.Topic%0AgetVERSION%28%29%3A%09%092.0%0Ais

esponse%2C+JMQDestinationDescription%3DA+Description+for+the+Destination+Object%7D:
which is much longer than 100 characters.
You might want to shorten the string you use for the
durable name.
And yes, the default file-based persistence store is
more efficient when compared to the plugged-in persistence
through a database.

What are the security risks for opening port 80 on workstations?

Hello all,
in our environment, there is an application which open port 80 on workstations when installed, but it is not allowed on preimeter FW
could you please advise what are the security risks for leaving port 80 opened on the workstations? or it is considered secure unless it is not allowed on the preimeter FW?
thanks alot & regards

Hi R.Naguib.
The 80 port is open by default through the firewall on Windows system, it is used by a http protocol by a browser.
As for the network or hardware Firewall settings, I suggest to turn to the network administrator for details.

What's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in UI) for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit OS?

Hi gurus
In resource based throttling, what's the recommended setting for "Process memory usage" ("process virtual" in the resource based throttling tab of the UI) for a 64-bit host
on a 64-bit Windows OS?
According to MS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee308808(v=bts.10).aspx):
"By default, the
Process memory usage throttling threshold is set to 25. If this value is exceeded and the BizTalk process memory usage is more than 300 MB, a throttling condition may occur. On a 32-bit
server, you can increase the Process memory usage value to 50. On a 64-bit server, you can increase this value to 100. This allows for more memory consumption by the BizTalk process before throttling
occurs."
Does this mean that 100 is the recommended setting for a 64-bit host on a 64-bit Windows?
Thanks
Michael Brandt Lassen

Hi Michael,
Recommended setting is the default setting which is 25 .dot.
If your situation is abnormal and you see message delivery throttling state to “4” when the following performance counters are high or if you expect any of you integration
process could have impact on following counters, then you can consider the suggestion by Microsoft. Don’t change the default setting.
High process memory
Process memory usage (MB)
Process memory usage threshold (MB)
You can see these counters under “BizTalk:MessageAgent”
You can gauge these performance counter and its maximum values if have done any regression/performance testing in your test servers. If you have seen these counters having
high values and causing throttling, then you can update the Process memory usage.
Or unexpectedly you’re process high throughput messages in production which is causing these counters to go high and cause throttling, then up can update the Process memory
usage.
The above two cases where I know my expected process usage (by doing performance testing) or suddenly my production server processing has gone high due to unexpected business
hike (or any reasons) which caused throttling, then do changes to default throttling setting.
Just changing the default setting without actual reason could have adverse effect where you end up allocating
more processing capacities but the actual message processing message usage ever is low means you end up investing in underutilised resources.

M.R.Ashwin Prabhu
