Which codec do you use?

So I figured I asked the community and get a feel of which codec(for Quicktime) you use when rendering from Shake and why?
I'm trying to find a nice balance between quality and size for importing Quicktime movie into iMovie. It seems I can't get the right quality in iMovie but maybe it's because iMovie is messing with my original movie.
Thx.

Sorry I wasn't as specific. I am using sequence TIFF images which are 720x480 or less depending as input and want to ultimately build something with iDVD. I have been using the 8-bit uncompressed codec to keep as much quality as possible but I was just curious what other people use when doing their work with Shake.
As for using iMovie, I could do everything in Shake including the audio sequences but it's so much easier to line up audio clips in iMovie. I may resort to this as iMovie keeps murdering my resolution. I just didn't feel like dropping $170 on FCE or even more on FCS which is why I was using iMovie to build my movie. Based on a lot of investigation earlier this year, I could do all the work I wanted in Shake without needing FCE and just output to iMovie 09. I'm just a hobbyist.
Thx.

Which router do you use for AppleTV?

So I got to thinking the other day that maybe there are just certain routers that no matter what will not work with AppleTV.
The only one that I have gotten to work EVERY time and consistently is the Airport Extreme Base Station.
My gf had a belkin (I don't remember the model #) that no matter what, I could not get it to remain consistent i.e. had to restart almost every day, randomly showed port 3689 error, etc
I tried the normal stuff, enabling uPNP, port forwarding, etc..nothing helped.
With the AEBS (which I already had and made her get) everything was fine and dandy.
So my questions to you are:
1) If not the AEBS, which router do you use?
2) If not the AEBS, which settings did you have to set?
3) If not the AEBS, what is the model / firmware version of your router?
I noticed many people have problems that are the same things on this board over and over. And I've also noticed that it's usually the router and/or the settings that are causing the issues/inconsistencies.
This should be an interesting thread and should help steer people in the right direction.

Airport Extreme doesnt have enuf port forwards for most online games & so I avoided that one.
There is no limit (short of maxing out system capacity). It may not have the presets you want, but you can configure port forwarding manually.
indeed, i can confirm this.
i have many ports forwarded on my AEBS and it is very easy to configure to do so.

Which software do you use on the linux or unix platform

I am learning oracle, so I am wondering, in the real world, which software do you use to administrate oracle in the company, on the linux or unix platform? sqlplus?
certainly, I think you can also open the OEM GUI in linux or unix

If you are learning, surely enough , learning any o/s other than windows will help. About the industry, there is not just one player that rules in the o/s market. It depends on a lot of factors , cost being the most dominating one. Linux, being a little less costlier, is surely a good choice for many but so is HP UX or AIX. Without bothering about what is more popular, learn one which you can get your hands on in your learning environment more easily. For example, it would be tough to have a AIX based machine in your home and a linux based would be lot easier. So learn one, ,learn it good. When you go to a different shop, use your previous knowledge and learn the know-hows of that o/s as well.

Which tool do you use for load testing?

Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

hi,
i use jmeter for without issues..
first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
So assuming very good network connection what is the servers performance level...
If u have to decide which tool is decent enough to load testing,
i would suggest go for jmeter. its reliable and i have used it without problems.
Here is my quick tutorial for jemeter which i made for my teams reference.
REFERENCE
     For Getting Started refer to any tutorial for Jmeter
     You can refer to introduction on
          http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/
RUNNING LOAD TEST
     Extract jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4.zip in c:
     install jdk-1_5_0_12-windows-i586-p.exe
     Run C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4\bin\jmeter.bat
     In Test Plan add Thread Group
     Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Sampler->HTTP Request
     Select HTTP Request added fill details
          Serverip:www.xyz.com
          Port:80
          Path:/xyz-webapp/index.jsp
          Use KeepAlive: Checked
          Retrive All Embeded images from HTML: Checked(For geting images inside html)
     Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Graph Results
     Click on Thread Group Fill details
          No of Threads:3(This means no of simultaneous users)
          Ramp Up Period:1(3 Request will be made in 1 second period)
          Loop Count:5(Above process should be repeated how many times)
     Save TestPlan
     Run -> Clear All
     Run -> Start
          Click on Graph Results for Output
     Try adding different listener in Thread Group
          Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Summary Report
     Listeners coud be added at thread group level or HTTP Request Level
RECORDING A TEST.
     Add a HTTP proxy server in workbench by right clicking on it and selecting Add->Non test Element->HTTP Proxy Server.
     In Test Plan Add Thread Group
     In HTTP proxy server select Target Controller as Test Plan > Thread Group.
     Go to Internet Explorer and go to internet settings and set proxy server as localhost and the port
          which is configured in Jmeter proxy server.Save Settings.
     In Jeter proxy server start by Clicking on Start button in the HTTP Proxy Server Flap.
     In browser navigate the application which you want to test.
     The nodes will be added in the Thread Group.
     Once Navigation is done stop the proxy server and save the test plan from file menu.
LOGGING INTO APPLICATION.
     When we have to login into system and then navigate the system
          we need a cookie to be tracked after login. This could be achieved
          simply by Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cooie Manager.
     After adding the HTTP Cooie Manager simply run the test.
LOOPING COUNTER.
     When a request is made multiple parameter is sent to server.
     Parameters are sent from the HTTP Request node added in the Thread Group
          in "Send Parameter with the request" table.
     If we run the loop count 10 times the parameters will be sent same in every request.
     If you have to send parameters like user1,user2,user3,user4....
          then add -> Pre processor -> Counter.
     Put start as 1 and and Maximum as 10 or whatever required.
     Put Referene name as iCtr or whatever.
     In the "Send Parameter with the request" in value column put user${iCtr}

Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?

Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?
I got confused when searching for possible candidates. Almost all wide screen bags are designed for 15.4 inch. Few 14 inch bags are fit only for the normal 4:3 screen.
Any advice from you are welcomed!
Many thanks!

Hello,
Other brands you might want to look at are Brenthaven, Case Logic, Eagle Creek, EastPak, EZM, Jan Sport, Kensington, Swiss Army, Targus and Trager. There is also an earlier message thread here in the forum discussing carrying options, and a quick search of the Internet found some messages here, here and here that you might find of interest.
There really are lots of different solutions when it comes to carrying your ThinkPad, so it might be best to visit a few computer, electronics, office supply and sporting goods stores to find something you like and meets your needs (and budget). If you do not have your ThinkPad to yet, consider either bringing a tape measure or a piece of cardboard cut to the dimensions to "test" with bags.

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

I agree - it's all about preference. I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7. I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail... everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs. A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you. And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay.

Limit Preview Size. Which setting are you using?

I'm not exactly sure how the Limit Preview Size preference affects my workflow. Which setting are you using, and why?
My preference is currently set to the v2.0 default 1/2 Size. My iMac's resolution is 1680x1050, and I'm using the Canon EOS 1D Mark III taking full size RAW images at 3888x2592.
regards,
Gregory

Gregory,
I use the default (which is 1/2 size) with no ill effects. Previews are used by external programs to gain access to photos in your Aperture library. (This is not the way your external editor works, though.) Your preview size will not affect your workflow. When previews are turned on, Aperture works on generating previews when you have something new of which to make a preview. I seriously doubt that making a small copy, versus making a smaller copy, would affect how long it takes Aperture (and therefore, how sluggish Aperture might appear.) The difference between making previews and not making previews can be significant.

How do you on board loop the memory using pci 6534 implementing LabVIEW. Which VI do you use?

How do you on board loop the memory using pci 6534 implementing LabVIEW. Which VI do you use?

Hello,
You will need to set the Pattern Generation Loop Enable attribute to ON in the DIO Parameter VI. This is

Can Premiere tell me which codec my file uses?

I've been testing PPro CS6 for a few days, and love a lot of what I see. PPro plays anything I throw at it, and it has a gazillion metadata fields, which has great potential (even if some of that potential is to confuse you when you've forgot which of the hundreds of fields you used). However:
For most files, including RED footage and Quicktime, there is no codec information. "Compression" and "Format" fields are all blank. Even the Info tab just says "type: Movie". This happens with MOV's in H.264 and ProRes, R3D, and more.
I know that Premiere wants me not to care about what kind of video I'm working with, but I do care. Also, it helps when preparing edits to go to other applications and systems.
Is it just a problem with my system? Is it something I'm missing?

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:
*** http://home.pacbell.net/jcortel/corruption.JPG ***
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.
