What is the best file type to use when dealing with text data?

Hello,
I am trying to read off text information from a file stored on the phone. I am currently using a txt file to store the data; however the input streaming process is very slow. Is there another way, or file type I can use which is much quicker?

  • What is the best proxy format to use when working with S-Log in a linear colourspace?

    I have been working with some Sony F55 footage shot against a green screen. I am working in a 16bit s-rbg colourspace
    I made proxies out of the source which were photo-jpeg movs, nice n fast.
    However it is clamped the colour values in the proxy with what looks like an s-curve which has subsequently made my keying settings significantly different (i.e far more contrasty) when switching between proxy and original.
    So what would be the best way to go about converting some log-s footage to a fast proxy format without messing with key effects parameters by such a troublesome amount. I can live with a small difference of course.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Dave,
    I appreciate the quick response. It is sensible advice.
    Do you have any suggestions (when i do use proxies for log-c/s footage in general) for a decent format?
    Would applying a linear output profile adjustment layer make a difference to a lesser format? Or do compressed formats bypass output profiles?
    I only ask as I do a lot more compositing with linear footage these days and my machine struggles when it goes into a deep composite

  • What is the best file format to use with imovie?

    I am relatively new to Mac and got it for music production, but more recently I have been messing around with video and a I have difficulty dealing with Mpeg and some other file types with imovie. My question is this, what file format will automatically import into imovie the way that iphoto imports from my camera? and if they aren’t recognised, what is the best file converter??

    'best' is, what iMovie is intended for - straight from tape-based or AVCHD camcorder.
    'best' in terms of most versatile and offering the 'best' format (=iM's own AppleIntermediateCodec) is free Mpeg Streamclip
    only for convertiing mp2, such as non-copyprotected videoDVDs, you need the 20$ mp2-playback-component ......

  • What is the best way to create a SSRS Report with Header Data and its associated child data

    So I have Member Information...Member ID...Member Addressing...etc.. I want to display this in the top part of the report like...
    Member Name:
    Member ID:
    Member Address Line 1:
    And then below I want to report on all the claims associated with a Member ID that is chosen by the Parameter. Obviously the Claim Data will be in Table format. Do I necessarily have to associate the Member Information with the Claim Information or simply
    use the same parameter? And what is the best Toolbox item to use to display the Member Information on top?
    Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated by this newbie.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Hi ITBobby,
    According to your description, you want to display all Claim Data for each Member. Right?
    In Reporting Services, we can use a table to display those Claim Data and make them group on Member ID. If you want to display the Member Information, we can put the data fields on parent group level. Then we can use create a parameter to filter the Member
    ID we need. We have tested this scenario in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
    1. Create a DataSet(DataSet1) which contains the data fields of Member and Claim.
    2. Create a table and drag the Claim data into the table.
    3. In Row Group. Right click on Details and add a parent group.
    4. Select Member_ID in Group by.
    5. Right click on the textbox of Claim data. Select Insert Row->Outside of Group-Above. Drag the MemberName into the inserted row.
    6. In Report Data, right click on Parameter-> Add Parameter.
    7. Type Member_ID in Name and Prompt, select allow multiple values.
    8. In Available Values, select get data from a query. Choose DataSet1, select Member_ID in values and label. You can also set this in Default Values if you need.
    9. Save and preview.

  • What is the best file extension for import?

    When converting a DVD to another file extension for FCP, what is the best file extension to use? When I was using Adobe products, I would convert the DVD with Stream Clip to an AVI or MPEG and bring it right in. I found these do not work well in FCP. I know I can play it in and make a capture, I was just trying to find what file extension I should use to bring it right into the browser. I receive some DVD's that are quite long and would rather convert them to another extension instead of playing it in to capture.

    In MPEG Streamclip, use the export settings that match your FCP Sequence settings. Typically that would be QuickTime DV/DVCPro (NOT .DV Stream).
    Here's a 2 part tutorial on MPEG Streamclip by Nick Holmes:

  • My computer is part of the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive replacement program. What is the best external modem to use in order to back up my files prior to me dropping off my computer.

    My computer is part of the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive replacement program. What is the best external modem to use in order to back up my files prior to me dropping off my computer.

    As Babowa says, get an external disk.  You should have one for normal backups anyway.
    Actually, I'm a strong fan of having multiple backups.  3 copies including the original, 2 different backup formats, and 1 backup off-site.
    And when you have your iMac in for service, if you have just 1 backup at that point in time you have just 1 copy of your data.  I get paranoid about my data.
    But if you are just making 1 backup, I would use SuperDuper (free for a full clone, and extremely good software, as is Carbon Copy Cloner, but it is not free anymore).
    And then I would "Boot" from the clone, to make sure it was a good clone.
    Booted from the clone, I would then use Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to zero the original disk, as suggested by Babowa, so that when they replace the disk, the original disk containing your data is not in the hands of strangers.  A single pass of zeros is more than good enough as an erase, as the chances are no one is going to spend the money needed to try and read the erased data.  It is not like you have any super secret data, just stuff you do not want the casual data theif to get.  You will find the zeroing options under Disk Utility -> Erase -> Security Options
    Just make sure you actually boot from your clone before erasing your original.  And if you are paranoid like me, make 2 backups, then erase the original :-)

  • What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder        for use on Final Cut Pro X?

    What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts  files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
    If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
    Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
    I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
    Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
    Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

  • What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    Looking for the best option here. What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    You should check your date of purchase against the manufacturer's warranty
    or guaranty since some of those better brands have some recourse should
    they fail within a specified time period. A good reason to save dated receipts.
    Since solid-state USB drives probably don't (all) use a wear-leveling software
    to equally utilize their recordable space evenly, it is possible that some of these
    may exhibit a failure in some sector areas due to excessive over-writing. If the
    ones you use do not have such a technology or an undercounted total capacity
    with a means to automatically write in other sections, you may have to consider
    manually using a disk utility to zero-overwrite and reformat them occasionally.
    Even so, that may only help a marginal flash or thumb drive work a little longer.
    Should a camera memory card fail you still may be able to attempt with margin of
    success, to +recover image files+ from it. re: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    The standard default format they ship with works well for most file types; so if
    you aren't moving OS X or Mac app specific files around on a USB flash drive,
    the original format should be fine. Oh, you can use Disk Utility to attempt to do
    a repair; but in some cases you may have to reformat them, etc.
    {Some of the flash drive warranties or guarantees may vary from between regions;
    so if you have one with a '5 Year' guarantee in the US, other rules may apply in EU,
    or when you seek to replace an item under warranty outside of where it was bought.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • WHat is the best index type for non uniqueness / Varchar columns in SQL 2008 R2

    Hello All Greetings,
    Please help me here with my doubt,
    in my table i have two columns about a million rows, it has about 20 columns in it, three columns with name as Period, Gender so most of the time these two columns use in where clause,
    Gender  will contain Either M or F , Period contains YYYY-Month (2013-December, 2013-August) etc so i would like to add a Index to these two columns so that in will increase the performance, so please let me know what type of indexes i need to add to
    these columns in the table,
    please note that only one time we will add data to the table which will take only 2 minutes but we query the table every day
    so my question what is the best index type that i need to create on columns with non uniqueness values in the column.,
    Thank you In Advance,
    Milan

    There is nothing whatever wrong with creating an index on a VARCHAR column, or set of columns.
    Regarding the performance of VARCHAR/INT, as with everything in a RDBMS, it depends on what you are doing. What you may be thinking of is the fact that clustering a table on a VARCHAR key is (in SQL Server) marginally less efficient than clustering on a monotonically
    increasing numerical key, and can introduce fragmentation.
    Or you may be thinking of what you have heard about writing JOINs on VARCHAR columns - it is true, it is a little less efficient than a JOIN on numeric type, but it is only a little less efficient, nothing that would lead you to never join on varchar cols.
    None of this does not mean that you should not create indexes on VARCHAR columns. A needed index on a VARCHAR column will boost query performance, often by orders of magnitude. If you need an index on a VARCHAR, create it. It makes no sense to try to find an
    integer column to create the index on - the engine will never use it.

  • What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

    What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

    Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford.  Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again.  If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine.  If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

  • 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 is the best compressor setting to use ... when exporting a 720p timeline from FCP for a project that will only be played back in a standard def monitor?

    What is the best compressor setting to use for DVD StudioPro ... when exporting a 720p 30 timeline from FCP for a project that will only be viewed in a standard def monitor?

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • What is the best file format to start with?

    I have not quite figured out what is the best way and best tool (Photo
    shop, Fireworks, Illustrator?) to optimize images to put on a web page?
    I know that there is a "save for web" feature that is very useful.
    But what I want to know is what is the best file to start with, to resize larger or smaller, and save for web,
    and still get a clean and crisp looking Jpeg, png, or whatever?
    I have a client who sends me EPS images to use for their logos. It is too big and I have to resize it.
    Is this a good format to start with and to resize, or should I tell the client to send it to me in a different format?
    They also send me huge raw photoshop files (with layers and all) that I have to put in a much smaller
    placeholder..Again, is this a good file format to start with and resize and save for web?
    and if so, which tool is best to use in this case to its reduce size this file and get optimal quality - Ps, Fw, or Ai??
    or should I tell the client to send it to me in a different format?
    what is the best format to start with, so I can tell clients to send me their images in that format?
    if anyone can point me to some links or other place where I can find this information that will be great?
    thanks!!!

    Photoshop and Fireworks can both create files (raster images) suitable for placing images on the web. Some people prefer one to the other. If your not doing editing then Fireworks is probably the tool geared most towards that goal. If you want to create vector graphics for use on the web, neither Photoshop nor Fireworks are suitable. Illustrator is the tool to use.
