What Brand of Blank Media Should I Use? Look Here

The question of blank media brands comes up quite often. Sometimes a poster just asks the question. Other times, it starts with playability issues and moves on to blank media brands.
Here's a THREAD in the DVD Lounge, that has some good comments. If one has any questions as to what brand they should use, they will benefit from this discussion.
Good luck,
Hunt

What kind of blank discs should I use on my macbook?

What kind of blank discs should I use on my macbook?

cd-r - for burning audio and MP3 cd's for playback on stereos via iTunes and storing under 700MB in files.
dvd-r - for burning data dvd's and movies to 4.5GB
dvd-r ds - dual sided for 9GB
dvd-r dl - for dual layer on one side about 9GB total, good for making copies of OS X install disks
dvd-r dl ds - dual layer double sided for about 18GB total
then there is blueray dvd's but that requires a external burner and special disks for even larger amounts of data.
If you see "+" instead of "-" like cd+r, it's a differnet format on the disk, but most all new modern machines can read/burn either now.
Older machines might only be "-" or "+" with "-" being the most commonly used.

What type of blank DVD should I use to record photo images that are on my drive E

I own a HP Pavilion dv5000 with an RW DVD + R DL multi recorder. My question, which type of blank DVD should I use to record images that are on my drive E? I can record without problems on a CR-R but when I try a blank DVD-R it won't work. Please advise.

Hi,
Back to the good old days, HP supported only DVD +R discs, some vendors supported DVD -R discs. Now all vendors support both. You may want to try blank DVD +R. Hope this works. Please post back the result.
Regards.

What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ala.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

What type of vga cord should i use?

I just purchased a mac mini and it is on its way. I have a 22'' memorex lcd tv and it has a VGA plug in. What type of vga cord should i use? Theres male to male and theres male to female. Which cord should i use and does any1 know a site i can order it off of?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i just did a quick google search for for dvi to vga cables, without the use of an adapter...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dvito+vga+cable-adapter&btnG=Search
the first site that came up...
http://www.datapro.net/products/1145.html
these cables would allow you to hook up the monitor without using the adapter... would just save a little bit of space if depth is at all an issue, or the visibility of the cable sticking out that far back.

What iOS Developer Program license should be used?

What iOS Developer Program license should be used for the following scenario: our company wants to develop an app to be distributed among employees, our subsidiaries, our service/sales partners (distributors of our products) and finally end-users. The app is primarily aimed at end-user of our product. We don't want to provide that app via the iTunes App store to general public , but rather only to users, that are well-known to our company or to our sales/service partners. These users already have one of our products.
Is such a scenario feasible at all? Comparing iOS Developer and iOS Developer Enterprise it looks like applications can be distributed either through the App Store or through enterprise deployment limited to a company's employees only. Please advise. Thanks!

If you can reach these forums here, you can reach those links.
Apps for employees...Enterprise Program.
Everything else....Individual Program. See the App Store Review Guidelines for iOS Apps for restrictions and cases where apps may be rejected, otherwise.

What is the best media player to use on iBook 500MHZ, 576MB RAM

Can anyone advise me what is the best media player to use to play .avi files on my iBook. I have tried using Quicktime (7.6.4) with Perian installed and it is very choppy. I have also tried VLC (0.8.6i)and that's not much better.
My iBook is 500MHZ, 40GB HDD, 576MB RAM running MAC OS X 10.4.11 with all updates installed. I have also disabled dashboard and spotlight but that's not made much difference.
Many thanks
Garry

Well, now, isn't that interesting?
I left my iBook G3 800 MHz in Mac OS X 10.3 because I believed that upgrading to 10.4 would tax it too much. Others have successfully run 10.4 on their iBook G3s, and with the upgraded hard drive, I would have thought you'd be okay with it.
I generally don't do more than one upgrade of the OS past what my Mac came with. When I want to upgrade further, I upgrade my Mac.
I'm glad you figured out something that would work for you. Posting back to let us know may help someone else in the future, so thank you for that.

What kind of CD-R should I use?

I've recently had problems burning CD's from iTunes . . .the CD's seem to burn correctly, but when I insert them into one of several DVD players, they skip, pop and do other weird things. (Burning DVDs from iDVD runs smoothly.) I have the original drive that came with my G5 as follows: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-117D.
Reading through the forums, it seems that the type of media used is a common cause of problems like this. I don't know what kind of CD's I was using before, but the spindle I have now contains Memorex CD's with a 52X max speed, and hold 700 MB.
I think my drive has a maximum speed of 16X, so I tested burning at 16X and then 4X . . .I got the same results.
If I'm reading the threads correctly, my drive would work best with 650 MB disks with a max burn speed of 16X. As far as I can tell from Goggling however, that kind of disk is no longer exists.
So what specs should I look for that will be most compatible with my drive?
Thanks!
Bryce

Thanks! It looks like these drives are only $26 . . .I'll bet I've spent at least half that much in wasted CD's over the past few days.
Perhaps this next question should go over to the Final Cut Pro discussions, but I'll start here . . .as long as I'm considering replacing the drive, I'm wondering if I should upgrade to something better/faster.
I remember there being an issue some years ago that software like iDVD and DVD Studio Pro would only write to certain Apple sanctioned DVD burners.
For me, it's less about the money and more about have equipment that works properly . . .and faster (time is money).
Any advice about upgrading?

Else please assign manually.

EMERGENCY: what kind of jdbc driver should I use?

Suppose one machine with 9iAS standarv version installed, and another one with oracle8.1.6 installed. OSE is used for JSP and servlet engine. In this case, Oracle internal JDBC driver does not apply, am I right? Then what kind of JDBC should I used to access the database on the other machine?
thanks
null

Your have 4 driver options :
1) 2 from a client install
a) jdbc thin
b) jdbc oci with a client install
2) 2 from inside the JVM including the ose component.
a) server sdie internal(kprb) -- for inside the rdbms usage ONLY
b) server side thin driver.
Please review the following "overview" :
Overview of the Oracle JDBC Drivers
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/java.817/a83724/overvw2.htm#1000908
For server side jdbc connection the following information is also relevant :
It applies to java code in IAS 9i running in the Oracle jvm (including the ose) -- but not the apache jserv component.

What lite client installation i should to use for OraOLEDB.Oracle

I have code in VBScript and connection opens when i use oracle full installation, but when script is used on another client machine installation should be compact. What I should to use for it? I try ODAC xCopy but when i installed oledb with instant client i got "General run error" when script try to open connection. Also I registed manualy OraOleDB11.dll becouse it not registred by xcopy installation.
strCon = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle; Data Source=(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = serviceName)));User Id=userID;Password=passID;"
Set objCon= CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objCon.Open strCon
msgbox objCon.State

There are two configsets by default. Configset 1 is
for synchronization and Configset 0 is used by
provisioning (again, these are default settings).
You cannot have two odisrv (Provisioning and Synch)
with the same instance #.
So, instance 1 could be Provisioning and instance 2
could be Synch.
Have you setup your synchronization mapping files?
I would suggest you use the DIPTester utility to
setup the synch. It might also be helpful to post the
commands and the odisrv* logs (not the full dump, but
the last snippet).Well I was trying to use ConfigSet 1 for synchronization but it either wouldn't let me because of how it is designed or I had screwed it up at that point since I didn't know what numbers to use for anything and it prevented me from using Set1 because of that. In the end I created a ConfigSet 2 and was able to get another instance of ODISRV running with that. That finally got the sync working on a scheduled basis. I'm now trying to get SSO working between OID and ADS and it seems that OID is too stupid to know that a user exists. I log onto the Windows PC into the domain and attempt to go to http://ssoServer.com:7778/pls/portal and login and I get an authorization denied message.
I have debugging turned on as much as I can and the defaultIsland log file (forget the full filename but its an OC4J file in $ORACLE_HOME\opmn\logs directory). It says that I was denied access because the user could not be found and yet I see the user in the directory tree and it comes back in a search as well. The krbprinicipalname, uid, and orclcommonprinicipalname (I think that's what it's called) are all the same ([email protected]) and the orclusersearchbase is set to dc=mycompany,dc=com so I don't know why the account can't be found.
ANy ideas on that issue?
