What file type and codec should I use for creating a file to send to have an HDCAM copy made

I'm prepping to take a video file of my film into a tape dubbing house to have an HDCAM copy of my project made. I'm using a PC, so Apple ProRes is not an option. What file type, codec, and settings do you recommend?
I was considering MXF, but the highest quality codec is XDCAM 50, which only does up to 50Mbps (I think). I believe HDCAM works at 140Mbps, so I would rather not give them a file that's compressed to almost 1/3rd that, especially since the source is a 5K 5120x2560 project. DPX maybe? I've never exported DPX before because it's not an option on my copy of CS6 - maybe that has to be downloaded separately? I was considering a Quicktim in H.264 at 140Mbps, but I think that would mean some serious rendering for the tape house. I would like to be able to offer them a few different options and see what they prefer, but this is an area where my knowledge runs thin. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm hoping there's an industry standard that I can stick to.

DPX maybe? I've never exported DPX before because it's not an option on my copy of CS6 - maybe that has to be downloaded separately?
Your CS6 'Format' dropdown list should include DPX:
Among the options you listed, DPX would be my choice.
Be certain the dupe house can accept these files before proceeding.

What Message type and Process Code to use for Purchase Order Change in 4.6C

I like to implement in SAP R/3 4.6C a scenario for Purchase Order Change, via inbound IDoc.
I have been searching, but could not find what Message Type, Idoc Basic Type and Process Code to use.
I can not imagine this functionality does not exist in 4.6C.
Any suggestions for my problem are welcome.

Hello,
In this case you should use the message PORDCH and BAPI method BAPI_PO_CHANGE but only exist as of release 4.7.
Function module    BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1
Idoc Type              PORDCH01
Message Type      PORDCH
So check carefully the following OSS notes:

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?

What Compressor codec should I use for footage recorded on a Canon T3i, edited on FCP 6, and intended for Vimeo?

I am looking for help!
My planned workflow is as follows:
Footage recorded on Canon Rebel T3i ---> Edited on Final Cut Pro 6 (sequence compression is apparently H.264 according to the browser) ---> Compressed with Compressor (ver 3.0.5) in original 1920 x 1080, 24p format ---> Uploaded to Vimeo
I am now at the point where I am trying to find a Compressor setting that will create a compressed movie that looks somewhat similar to what I see in the canvas in Final Cut Pro 6. I have tried using the H.264, Apple ProRes 422(HQ), HD Uncompressed 8-bit, and XDCAM HD 1080p24 settings and in all cases, my movie plays back fine, however, the brightness/exposure seems to be hiked up a few stops and there is a substantial amount of noise in both the blacks and midtones that doesn't appear in FCP's canvas.
My compressed movie I wish to export is only intended for Vimeo (similar to Youtube). Is there a different setting I should be trying, or perhaps a way of downloading a more effective or current codec?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it is very disappointing to see my movie degraded so much from its orginal quality.

H.264. But the FCP Legacy (FCP 7 and earlier) Canvas and Viewer aren't color accurate. Not designed to be. Their purpose is to show you what you are doing, show you the footage so you can make editing decisions. For color accuracy, the ideal way, since this was designed with television and feature editing in mind, is to have an IO device like those AJA.com and DECKLINK.com make, and send the signal to an HDTV or broadcast monitor.
Apple has realized that more and more people are editing for the web and computers only, so they made it so that FCX's viewer IS color accurate. So...what that means is that currently, using what you have, you won't get things to match....they aren't designed to. So you can adjust for what happens when you export.
But a big issue is that you are editing H.264 in FCP native. FCP doesn't work with H.264 native well, all sorts of potential issues can arise. Sync issues, quality issues, the correct shot be exported, all sorts of things. FCP works best with the FCP editing codecs. What are they? They are found in the EASY SETUP list. But for HD, the most commonly used option is ProRes 422. There is a BIG problem that FCP Legacy will SEEM like it'll work with H.264 natively just fine...it doens't throw up any warnings. That is bad. Also something Apple fixed with FCX.
The fact that you are editing H.264, and trying to export H.264, might also lead to the footage being more off that it would if you edited ProREs 422, and exported H.264. Note...H.264 is a higher data rate codec, and easier for FCP to work with...but because it has a higher data rate, the file sizes are much higher than the original H.264. 5-6x larger. FCP 7 did have a way to import Canon 5D, 7D and T2i (needed a hack with the T2i) via Log and Transfer. But it doesn't work with the T3i...not even with that hack. Because FCP 7 was no longer updated after the T3i came out. It's 4 year old software, discontinued 2 years ago.
If you want to edit native, you need to look at Adobe Premiere Pro CC. It's interface is more accurate too.

What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.
This question was solved.

Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

What programs should I use for creating a children's ebook with animated illustration?

I'd like to create children's book for iPad with hand-drawn illustrations that are animated but in a simple way (like bubbles flying and popping). What programs should I use?

Impossible to answer, I’m afraid. There’s just not enough details here and the very fact that you’re asking tells me that you should be very careful in choosing how to get this project done.

Which codec should I use for web cam capture?

I've got my new Live! Cam Voice up and running with my PC. It captures audio and video fine but when I load the video into Adobe Premiere for further editting, Premiere doesn't seem to like the codec I'm using (WMV-Window Media Video). Inside Premiere the video does not seem to play at full frame rate and when I render out an export (to an QuickTime .mov for example) also seems to be having trouble converting the WMV input to that format or any format for that matter.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi...
Which recording quality setting was used? Best quality? or any of the preset options listed? Alternati'vely, you might want to try the I420 color format. This can be selected within movie maker.
Hi,
I'm capturing video using the Windows Media Video (.wmv) using the high quality setting (640x480). I think pixel capture problem I discribed above might be releated to hard drive access while the camera is capturing. Compression is set to I420. Same problem with the other option (RGB 24).
Here is a picture my corruption problem:

This problem happens randomly about every minute (on average) of captured video and only for a frame. The discolored line appears at different heights in the frame and it sometimes thinker than this example.

What font and sizings should I use for pocket magazine?

Hi
I am nearly finished with a 165 x 120mm puzzle magazine but need to play with the font family and sizing so that its best for printing as crisply as possible.
Currently I'm using Helvetica Neue LT Std - 65 Medium, font size 11px (14px), I am thinking about changing to Arial Regular, 9px (11px), but what would be a standand font and size for good printing practice for A5 and smaller booklet/magazines?
Any advice here would be great thanks.
Ash

Sounds like you set up for an interactive document rahter than for print in the initial setup. No major harm done. Right-click the squer inthe upper left corner betweenthe rulers and reset the units to inches and see if the type reverts to points, if not, you may be able to change it in the prefs, and failing all there is a 1:1 relationship between px and pt in InDesign.
None of the above has anythign to do with your question about suitability. There's no good reason I can think of to choose Arial over the Helvetica Neue in any size. And I don't think there are any "standards" for how small the type should be. Are you expecting your readers to be older and have difficulty with small type? Will everything that needs to be on the pages fit at 11 pt? I would advise using the larger type, if possible, to help the vision impaired, but I also suggest you print a few pages and look at them in both sizes. Are they readable, or does one look like a sea of gray?

What is BitLocker and Why Should We Use It in Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 ?

Hello ppl. Today, I'll try to tell you about BitLocker function in Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 in clear words. When we save a document in our harddisk folders these info are easily can be acquired by a hackers if your system is insecure though a good hacker can beat all kinds of antivirus and firewall software. But !!!
If your data are saved encrypted on your harddisk, it is impossible to see that data though these clever guys stole your sensitive info. Because the data can not be seen without a log in password if they have been saved with encryption!!! So here is what BitLocker does!!!
BitLocker saves all your information by encrypting them so you dont have to worry about your sensitive data anymore! Even if they are stolen by other ppl, it's impossible to see your valued work sheets or other personal data such as pics and bank account information as long as you have a good BitLocker password like A3#Be$%Er or whatever.
BitLocker is a standart feature added to Windows 8 but you should upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate to use it in Windows 7.
I'll also start a topic about how to activate BitLocker in Windows 8 shortly.
I try to tell in clean words when I create a topic to help those who have basic knowledge about IT. I hope this helped. If you still have questions about BitLocker please dont hesitate to ask me about them.

Hi
Thank you for your post . This is a good information which can help users to be protected from hackers

What type of chart should we use for comparing more than 200 items

Hi Guys,
I have a Pie chart graph for comparing data items but this chart becomes cluttered or serves no purpose when categories increase up to 100 or 200 items.
I have tried collected Pie but still facing same issue.
When the numbers of Legends increases the chart will become cluttered and this will reduce it readability as shown in the image. Please share your suggestions for suitable chart type or strategy to overcome this issue.
Regards

Hi,
As you may know, the issue is caused by the excessive items in the category group of the pie chart. The most direct and effective way is to reduce the items in the category group. Generally, we are not always need the report to display all items in the chart.
In this scenario, we can add a parameter in the report, then use the parameter to filter the corresponding values in the chart.
Besides, in order to increase the chart readability, we can try to use Column Chart to display those values. And we can “Enable scale breaks” in the Vertical Axis. A scale break is a stripe drawn across the plotting area of a chart to denote a break in continuity
between the high and low values on a value axis. Use a scale break to display two distinct ranges in the same chart area.
Reference:
Add a parameter to filter the data in SSRS
Add Scale Breaks to a Chart (Report Builder
and SSRS)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

What G4 AGP graphics card should I use for 20" acrylic display?

I bought a 20" acrylic cinema display on ebay.
I also got the apple DVI to ADC power adapter to hook it up to my G4 350 mhz AGP tower.
When turning on the computer, it would show the gray apple startt-up window with the rotating icon then go black.
Turns out the old ATI Rage 128 Pro card only supports up to 17" displays.
What cards would you suggest to get the 20" display up and running?

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
There are a few choices, many hard to find, but you can get the ATI Radeon 9000 or the GeForce2MX at the following:
http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/memory3.html
Both are 2x/4x AGP, and should work with no problems in your 350AGP tower, and drive the 20" display beautifully.
Note that they are used cards, but new are extremely rare, and carry a high price.

What kind of screen protector should I use for my iPhone 6? Should I use one?

I'm looking for a screen protector for my brand new baby. To my dismay, it's hard to find one that "fits" because of the curved edges. I have ocd, not to mention that what isn't covered by a screen protector are usually crucial areas. Can anyone recommend anything? I always use a screen protector because I'm super paranoid. I throw my phone in my purse a lot where I feel like it will come in contact with one too many things that can scratch it. I don't have a ton of money to spend, sorry I'm a college student. Also, I don't like glass protectors. If I need one I'm looking for a film. Thanks in advance from a new iPhone 6 parent!

I have an iPhone 6 Plus but I thought I would try to help you out!! I use the Zagg Glass Invisible shield and I must say at first I loved it! It feels smooth and accepts input super well! It doesn't, however, go all the way to the edge of the screen which is weird, I agree. I've only had it for about a month now and its already chipped on the top edge by the speaker and its super annoying!! They will replace it for free but I'm not sure that I want another one that chipped so easily.
I've heard great things about the iloome screen mate and it goes all the way to the edge of the screen and covers the curved part. I know you said you don't like glass protectors but those are the best and if you get a good one you pretty much only need to replace it once a year so you pay a bit more up front but it lasts a lot better than just film ones. Hope that helps!!!!!

What version of airport utility should I use for my airport express if I'm running Mountain Lion?, What version of airport utility should I use for my airport express if I'm running Mountain Lion?

I can't configure my airport express because I get a message stating I need to run an older version of airport utility to support itk but when I try and install the older version, I get a message stating it can't be installed because it isn't supported. Help!

Unfortunately, Apple did not include support for older AirPort devices in the recent "upgrade" to Mountain Lion. A few conversations with Apple Support indicate that Apple has no plans to change this going forward.
If you have another Mac there running Lion or Snow Leopard...or even a PC...you can use that device to administer the older AirPort Express.
If that is not possilble....and you have been using Time Machine for backups of your Mac....you can try to go back in time to locate the earlier version of AirPort Utility and restore it to the desktop. Then, simply move the AirPort Utility application into the Utilites folder and will co-exist with AirPort Utility for Mountain Lion.
Apple does not support this type of thing of course, so you will be on your own if you want to try an "unsupported" procedure like this.
