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.

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.

Which listener should be used for JTextArea

Hi,
I need to add a listener for JTextArea particualy when
the text in the jtextarea is changed. I don't think
mouse listener is enough, since the user can use tab to
get to the jtextarea and edit the text. In this case,
which listener should I use. Sample code would be
helpful.
In addition, I have a problem with the jtextarea that
when user uses tab to go to different gui components,
such as jtextfield, jcombobox, jtextarea, jlist, etc, the
tab stays in the jtextarea and keeps appending to it. It does
not go to next component, such as jlist. How can I make it
work?
Thanks in advance,
Pin

It doesn't work. Are you using 1.4 or 1.3? I am using
1.4.
In the 1.4 API, it says that isManagingFocus is
"Deprecated".
Here is what I have:
JTextArea descrptArea = new JTextArea() {
public boolean isManagingFocus() {
return false;
descrptArea.setRows(3);
descrptArea.setLineWrap(true);
descrptArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
// DO SOMETHING
I found the following code which says it will do it.
However, I got the exeception:
java.lang.ClassCastException:
n: javax.swing.KeyStroke
at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEven
.VK_TAB,
InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
forwardTraversalKeys);
Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
t.VK_TAB,
InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
t.VK_TAB,
InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
backwardTraversalKeys);
Any idea???
PinI'm not using 1.4 but the class cast exceptions look like they come from : Set forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet() etc
try : TreeSet forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet()
you cant cast from a Set to a TreeSet because a TreeSet is a Set but a Set is NOT a TreeSet.
hope this helps.

Which operator should i used for loading not matched records

HI ALL,
I am just evluate OWB tools.
and i met a question.
I need to join two tables A and B with Condition A.id=B.id
For example,
A has 1000 records, and B has 100 records,
what i need to do is
(1) to get matched 100 record from B to a new table C,
(2)to get the not matched 900 records from A to another table D.
By the requirement like above, which operator could i use for?
I tried to use joined but can not get the record of (2).
Thanks for your attention.
Regards

Hi,Sutirtha
Thanks for your attention.
because joiner has only one output group.
so what you mean is use joiner operator twice?
One joiner userd to get the matched records,
and the other used to get unmatched records?
Thanks

Which ID should I use for Family Sharing?

My family has the same iTunes ID (is this now called an iCloud ID??) so that we were able to share music. We logged into iTunes on our computers and our iphones with all the same iTunes ID. We all have different Apple IDs and logged into our computers and iPhones with that ID. How do I implement Family Sharing so that we still have the OLD music and shared app?? And which email address do I send the invitation?

Hi gottalovemymac,
When you join a family, you'll be asked to confirm the Apple ID that you regularly use for making iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases. Purchases from this account will be shared with your family members.
That from
Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing
It has more details too on setting up Family Sharing.

Difference between PDS and PPM and which one should be used for SNP /ppds?

Hi Gurus,
Just wanted to know what are the difference between PDS and PPM ?
1. For what industrial products we use PDS and PPM in SNP and PPDS?
2. which one can be refered to clients?
Please let me know it will be really great if anyone let me know the answers
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajkumar,
I have given below the detailed comparative account of PDS Vs PPM. Please copy and put it in an excel sheet in different columns and then read which is easy to understand.
PDS
1. Production Data Structure (PDS) in APO 3.1 & Run Time Object (RTO) in 4.0 and above versions
2. Master Data Object
3. Useful for scenarios where the compoenent has got different validity periods
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data from iPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering) generated from a production version
6. PPDS PDS & SNP PDS can be used as master data for planning
7. Change Management, variant configuration & Phantom assemplies are supported in PDS
8. Sub-contracting in SNP is fully integrated with R/3 is supported in PDS
9. Direct transfer of SNP PDS from R/3 is possible
10.Rapid Planning Matrix can be generated
11. Not possible to maintain PDS directly in APO and can be used only in combination with R/3
12. The transfer of data changes is simpler
13. Not possible to create alternate SNP-PDS in std system for different mode combinations
14. PDS can be automatically generated from two sources ie R/3 and iPPE
PPM:-
1. Production Process Model
2. Master Data Object
3. Cannot be used for scenarios where the component has got different validity period
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data generated from the combination of routing (BoM & receipe) and production versions
6. PPDS PPM & SNP PPM's can be used as master data for planning
7. Not supported by PPM
8. Not supported by PPM
9. Not possible here. SNP PPMs will be generated via PPDS PPMs
10. Not possible
11. PPMs can be directly created in APO and can be modified without R/3 also.
12. Little Complex when compared to PDS
13. Alternate SNP-PPMs can be easily created
14. PPM can be generated automatically generated only from R/3
PDS is used in industries wherein there are multiple components or assemblies having diffeent production versions whose validity periods are different. PPM is being used typically in process industries, chemical industries. PPM is very simple in its usage and very flexible in operations in terms of modifications at APO level and can be referred to client depending on the business requirement

Which software should I use for my Mac system

I Am ready to purchase new software for my video production company and need to speak to someone to make the correct decisions...
my questions entail, which products, which plugins which product is best suited for my Mac Maverick OS?

A good place to start would be to ask a question on the Premiere Pro forum here:

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 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.

Which codec should i use to edit with?

hi guys, i know this would be a very obvious question to most of you, and i did have a look for an answer to this through adobe's forums but i could not find and answer.
the footage comes out of my video camera as h264, what should i convert this to in order for it to work with?
i believe final cut pro works best with prores, is this the case with premiere?
thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.

Depends, no.
If your camera does not record in a format supported by PR, you need to convert or use other software. Remember that all conversions to another format cost quality. You can use G-Spot to determine what exact codec is used in your material or you can tell the camera used.
It is like saying you have a car. What fuel do you need? Depends on the car.

Which driver should I use for Oracle RAC .....

We are using Weblogic 8.1 sp2 and Oracle RAC (9.x). Which driver , I should
use : i.e.
type 2 Orcle thin driver
or
type 2 Oracle OCI driver
or
type 4 oracle thin driver
or
Jdrivers
or other which is best for this configuration .

Thanks. I was unaware of that forum.

Joe, I have always suggested that people use the OCI driver

How come you choose the thin driver? Oracle will generally
fix the OCI driver before the thin and the OCI driver will
give far superior performance when dealing with LOBs.We have actually had faster response getting thin driver fixes
than OCI-based fixes. Thats interesting. I'll take note of it.
The 10g driver works with RAC, is much faster than previous
drivers, and is easier to install etc. OCI users are often
hopeful about TAF, which is broken and less-than-useless for
active complicated JDBC applications. OCI problems can bring
down the whole JVM and are harder to debug.
These are from reading the results and recommendations of
Oracle Corporation, Tom Kyte and other Oracle professionals.
Have you research to say different? I'd like to see it,
because up until now, I've always suggested OCI first unless
the client doesn't have an oracle client installation
available.Tom does an excellent job from the DBMS perspective, but I
don't see him often in the jdbc arena.His Q&A site is littered with jdbc examples. He also will call
on people in specific expertise to help him answer questions.
Here an example of that where he show the OCI driver to be much
more performant.

Which codec should I use to edit HD footage in Premiere Pro?

I am shooting with a Sony NXCAM which gives me AVCHD .MTS files. I am an old FCP user switching to Premiere Pro. I used to transcode the footage to Apple Pro Res 422 and most of my stock footage is now in this codec. I know Premiere Pro accepts all codecs but I need to offline my footage using the Project Manager. Can you tell me which is the best codec in Premiere pro to edit and transcode footage to now? The only one I can see that kind of matches is AVC INTRA - I 100.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adam

Edit in the codec you shot in ( source file) is good practice
Drag a clip onto the NEW ITEM ICON (bottom of Project Window) and PPRO will match up a sequence.
Good starting point.

Which cable should I use for a MacBook to external VGA monitor

Hello everyone
Having just come back to Apple, last having used a Apple 2E way back in the 70's, I've got to get used to non-IBM compatible stuff!
Please advise which cable is needed to hook up to a standard IBM compatible VGA screen/cable.
Also, will the same cable do for an overhead projector with a VGA input port.
Thank you

Hi and welcome to Discussions and welcome back to the Apple world,
this are the tech specs of your MacBook http://support.apple.com/kb/SP579 so you need a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter like this one http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NDg for connecting your IBm display and your projector.
