Which sequence setting to use for PAL slideshow?

Hello All,
I have a project that I am a little unsure about setting up. The output will be a PAL formatted DVD. The source material is all jpg's from a digital camera. The project is a simple slideshow with music. I'll be formatting the pictures to 720x576 in Photoshop. My question is whether I should be using the basic DV-PAL sequence setting even though it will never be output back to tape. If not what would be the most appropriate setting assuming this will be exported via Compressor and authored in DVDSP?
Thanks,
Chris

I'd go for an uncompressed 10 bit setting but that would take some pretty fast drives to play while you edit... a dual 800 FW array would do it or faster. 8 bit might work just about as well and not require the dual.... and either is better than DV.

Which import setting to use for numbering?

I know that my question is probably addressed in the Aperture manual, but I do not understand it well enough and so am asking for help. I am going on a four week trip during which I will be using two cameras often on the same day. At the end of each day I want to import all of my photos to Aperture into one project. I want the photos in the project to be arranged and numbered sequentially according to the date and time taken, irrespective of which camera was used. Each subsequent day I will do the same thing, all photos going into the one project. I will "attach" the same custom name (e.g. Europe) to all images, but want the sequential numbering as I stated. Thank you!

As Léonie said, there are good reasons why someone would want descriptive filenames. Another reason is that metadata is, unfortunately, not 100% reliable. It can "drop off" under certain circumstances such as transferring between computers, opening/saving them in different applications, sending through email, etc. I have many files (including photos) with the wrong creation date in the metadata.
The only reason NOT to rename your master files is that the "don't import duplicates" won't work as it relies on filenames. So if you don't import your entire card, then erase it, you might end up imporing duplicates. But that's another topic.
To get back to the OP's question, if I understand you correctly you want:
1. All your photographs to be sorted by date/time in Aperture.
2. All your filenames to be descriptive.
3. All your filenames to be sequential.
To get number 1, you don't need to do anything other than set the date/time in all cameras the same. Aperture will use the metadata to sort them sequentially by date/time irrespective of the filenames.
To get number 2, just rename on import (or later as batch) to whatever you want.
To get number 3 is the harder one. If you want the filenames sequential by date/time taken, and you don't want long filenames as I described above, you could store your photographs in a folder outside of Aperture and then import them all after the trip is finished, renaming on import. Or you could do a batch rename after you have them all in. Either way, you'll have to wait until you finish the trip to do it so you can do them all in one go.
Alternatively, you could import at the end of each day and remember the sequence number you left it at the day before and put that into Aperture when you import the next day. It will work, but it requires you to remember to do it. I know I would screw it up. If you're more disciplined than I am you could try it that way. But you don't import directly from the cameras, you have to drop them into a folder on your Mac first.
So the process would be, at the end of each day:
1. Create a temp folder on your Mac to put your photos into.
2. Copy all photos from Camera 1 into the temp folder.
3. Copy all photos from Camera 2 into the temp folder.
4. (Optional) Copy all photos from your phone into the temp folder. Don't use PhotoStream to get related photos from iPhone/iPad. Copy them manually with Image Capture.
5. Open Aperture and import the entire day's shoot in one go. In "Rename Files" choose "Custom name with Counter" for Version Name (create one if it doesn't exist) and the first day click on the little arrow next to it. This will reset the counter to zero. Give it the name you want (e.g. Europe) and tick Rename Original File.
The next day do the same. If you haven't imported anything else since, the counter will continue where it left off. You can check (and change) by clicking on the Version Name option and choosing Edit in the drop down. You'll see "Incrementing coutner starting at...". Just ensure that's the next number from the last day's import.
As I said, Aperture will remember the number, so unless you've imported something else, this should work fine.
Let me know if it doesn't make sense.

Which share setting to use for Apple TV 1st generation?...

I want to export a project in a format that will play on a 1st generation Apple TV. But under the Share settings, in Apple Devices, both the 720p and 1080p options indicate they will not work with 1st generation Apple TV. How do I output my FCPX project so that it will play on a 1st generation Apple TV?
Thanks

Hi Ben B--
I just remembered to read the article of yours that you linked to last night in your response above ( http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/final-cut/preparing-video-web-quicktime-compresso r ).
It's very informative. I have Quicktime Pro 7, so I guess between it, Finder, and Compressor I have a lot of options for encoding my video projects.
After reading your article, I do have a few questions:
1. Do you think the best initial step is to use File>Share>Master File (default)... in FCPX to create a .mov file (that I could then use in the various ways you describe in your article)?
2. It seems that using the File>Send to Compressor... option in FCPX is a terrible idea as it takes forever. Do you agree and recommend against using this option?
3. Do the different methods you describe in your article result in different quality levels? I know the settings you choose in each method will, of course, greatly affect the video's quality, but is the encoding in the different methods better or worse? For instance, I'm tempted to think using Compressor is better than Quicktime Pro 7, and both are better than Finder.
4. Also, are there noticeable differences in the speed of the methods you describe?
The answers to these questions would really help me get on the right track as far as what I should be doing to export my FCPX projects in a way that produces good quality in acceptable amount of time.

How to set up set which NIC card to use for multicast?..

 I just downloaded Rolling Patch 1 for WLS6.0SP2.
 While reading the README file it says
 " ISSUE 42518: Provided a way to set which NIC card to use for multicast traffic
 Can anyone tell me how to set this?. on my WebApplication server it has two NIC
 cards and I want to use the NICcard which is being used to talk to internal network
 for multicast messages.
 One more thing,
 Can anyone one tell how to search for bugs (ISSUES) in weblogic. I am looking
 place where I enter ISSUE number and should get the detailed description of bug/issue
 etc..
 Thanks for helping,
 Nilesh


 Thanks Kumar, I'll try this.
 Does this -Dweblogic.interfaceAddress used only for multicast. Or this is also
 used to talk to AdminServer?.
 The other problem I am facing is when I restart the AdminServer in recovery mode
 it's not finding my WebApp servers, because my webapp servers are on public network
 and my admin (management) server is on private network.
 please look at http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.management&item=1217&utag=
 , for more details about my problem.
 Thanks,
 Nilesh

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 web server is used for openHAB2?

I've recently set up IDE for openHAB2 and built it successfully.
openHAB dashboard & paper UI are web application.
But I can't find any web server settings in openHAB project.
Which web server is used for them?
Is it possible to add java servlet for my custom REST service?

This is probably rather a question for the openHAB 2 mailing list. But to answer: Jetty is used in openHAB 2 as you can see here https://github.com/openhab/openhab2/blob/master/products/org.openhab.product.runtime/org.openhab.runtime.product.product#L57.
And yes, you can certainly add custom REST endpoints. You should do this as it is done with the default REST endpoints like https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/bundles/io/org.eclipse.smarthome.io.rest.core/src/main/java/org/eclipse/smarthome/io/rest/core/binding/BindingResource.java.

How to find which sequence name is used in a table

Hi..
I have a table.. it uses some sequence name..
But how can we find that the table is using so and so sequence...
From which USER_* table is used for that
thanks

I know this is an old thread but I was in the position of the original author and I use this, based on responses here I make this query that can be useful when the sequence is attached to the table using triggers (the most common scenario). I would agree that the most common use of a sequence is probably to generate a PK for a table.
I would agree that, when using a sequence to generate a PK, using a trigger is best practice.
But those two agreements do NOT add up to validating you assumption that "attaching" a sequence to a table using a trigger is the most common scenario.. Many shops feel that triggers are inherently evil and forbid there use. Even without that, many developers refuse to use the facilities of the database and insist on putting everything in their app code. Thus, even when using a sequence, they embed it in their app, thus allowing the use of the sequence to be bypassed by other code.
And in the case of someone trying to locate the use of the trigger, they must keep in mind that not all application code is in PL/SQL modules - it may very well exist completely outside of the database and thus be invisible to any query you could run on the database.
Let's say we have a table tblproceso and a sequence proceso_id_seq, we wrote a trigger that put the next value from the sequence on every INSERT. With this query we can see in what table we use sequences like 'proceso_id_seq':
select trigger_body, table_name
from user_triggers
where triggering_event = 'INSERT'
and UPPER(dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('TRIGGER', trigger_name)) LIKE '%PROCESO_ID_SEQ%'
This will show the trigger body and the name of the table where it's used
Hope this can help other users with this scenario

In Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have been using for a long time (Widows 7) says, You cannot use this prod

In Adobe Acrobat 9 (Wndows 7) which I have been using for a long time now it says I cannot use it withoutv repairing. It instructs me to uninstall & reinstall...

I have not run into this yet with my AA9 and Win7, but have been seeing posts about it. I would try a repair before I would do an uninstall and reinstall. You might also turn off javascript for a bit in case there has been some javascript that has caused problems (ok, making wild guesses). If you do decide to uninstall, be sure to deactivate first, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Then proceed to the reinstall and updates.
There is a question about whether being able to use it is correct, or you are just getting some message that is a spam that somehow got into your system (again, a possible javascript issue). Besides turning off javascript, you could also try isolating the javascripts to moving them to a temporary directory and seeing if one is causing the problem.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years. Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements. On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’. 1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more? Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one? Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop. I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue. I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music. Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.
