Why is compressor using my main (application) disc drive?

I’m using Compressor to convert a 2.5-hour .mov file to mpeg2/AAC. The destination is set to an external SATA drive, but the process is using the main application drive during the compressing process. The main drive has 50 GB available space but is running out of space during the conversion process. Is there a setting to direct which drive is used during compression? I don't understand why the main drive is being used when none of the project files are that drive and it is not the destination drive.

Check:
System Preferences>Apple QMaster>(Advanced Tab)>Shared Cluster Storage/Cluster Storage/Set...
Choose your external hard drive.
Attention: this is a permanent setting so when you disconnect your external drive the connection is lost.
If this is not successful alone go back to (Setup Tab) and select "QuickCluster with services", check the Compressor service. Set the maximum Instances in "Options for selected services..." (select "Compressor" in the services list first to the number of your cores minus 4 cores. Hit "Start Sharing".
hth
sidenote: btw this shines a light on a recently introduced flaw in Compressor and the Cluster Storage setting. Former versions (<3.5.3) used the Cluster Storage as their intermediate render-destination, since it's latest evolution with the above described setting Compressor moves the segments to the destiantion as selected for the batch. This is unnecessary and slows down the merging process.

HELP! I cant use any of my disc drives...

Being a hardcore PC user for years I eventually saw the light and bought a MAC.
To date I have tested my music apps successfully and installed a few freebies and I even have all my music in iTunes. The problem I am now faced with is with my internal and external disc drives. For some reason whenever I insert a disc internally,it ejects the disc. If I try and insert it into my external Freecom drive it cannot read any discs I attempt to burn to or read. What could be causing this?
It's not been such a happy affair to date and I only hope it gets better. Having parked my iMac for long enough to see my extended support expire, I find myself hunting and searching for clues.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer on this..
Regards, Michael

I have a DVD course for work and I can pull up the outline and study guides, but when I go to play there video portion, I get a black screen with controls, but can't get the video portion to play. Anyone have ideas?

Download VLC player and see if that allows you to watch the video.

Using old imac hard disc drive as external drive

Can an old imac hard disc drive be installed into an external hard disc case and be connected via USB to a new imac computer.
The hard drive is from a 2nd generation G5 imac that the logic board has died.

Yes, it certainly can, but you realize that you can't boot a PPC iMac from a USB drive, only a firewire one. If your new computer is an intel, it will boot without a problem.

How to use laptop as external disc drive?

I know i can use my laptop as an external disc via 'Remote Disc' but my install is 80gig and having just got half way through before my gifl accidentally closed the laptop lid i was wondering if i can actually hook the laptop upto the computer via a cable and go that way as i'm guessing it will be much much quicker?
i have an imac with ethernet, thunderbold and usb ports.. my laptop has usb and firewire 800
if so.. what cable do i need?

Perhaps but I don't believe you can cable connect from your laptop to your iMac to use the drive. That's why I suggested getting an external drive. If you only have a need for remote disc on occasion and you have large transfers then do those at night when sleeping. Sorry, it's a lousy solution but I can think of.

Why Do BT use DLM? it just drives some people away...

Hello.Ive emailed a few depts in BT.When I first got broadband I ofc went with BT was told at the time I would get around 4.5mb
It turned out to be a lot less than that (3mb)because of the distance from the Exchange my downstream atten runs around 47DB.Well for months the DLM was just going crackers I would lose sync and the speed just kept dropping.Even BT agreed the service was poor and allowed me to leave.I went with an ISP on LLU (that doesnt use any form of DLM) with some tweaking 15 DB profile and Fast path.I currently Get 6.5 mb and a stable line.
Surely If an LLU ISP can do this why cant BT?I do think BT should look into a protocol that allows itself a chance to do more tweaks add and remove things that sometimes just makes matters worse.
the reason I posted here tonight now I've been a customer of BT for many years (phone) in this climate everyone wants to try and save some money so getting a bundled package makes sense if you can save.
In this area (llanelli) its a big town.we dont even have 21CN. or even a hope of getting FTTC anytime soon.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi 21cn is due at your exchange end October 2011 hope that helps also he BT ip profiling system is currently being changed over to a system that gives 88.2% of connection speed and any change of sync causes the profile to change immediatley instead of the old 3/5dAy wait. Hope that info helps you

The confusion (sorry) is from Toshiba not me or you! Here is the description from the Help file:A copy of your computers applications and drivers are stored on the hard drive. You can create an application disc by using the TOSHIBA Application Disc Creator.
The other one is a disc burning utility for files. I would like to back up drivers and applications without imaging.

Iconia W3 810 won't allow USB external disc drive to use recovery discs

Hello fellow Acerites and thanks in advance for your help! My Iconia tablet's Windows installation has gone sour and I have the recovery discs from Acer. However, the tablet will not allow me to use my external USB disc drive to install them. Acer tells me the solution has been posted on this forum, but I cannot find it. Help please?

You need external power for the drive, either direct power to the drive or by connecting to a powered USB hub. The drive will show up without it, but there won't be enough juice to run the motor.

Always used 1 main account. Started using individual user accounts. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?

I recently upgraded our family's mac to OS X. I thought this was the perfect time to create and use "user accounts". We had always used 1 main account. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account? I wanted to be able to manage my own itunes library, iphone apps, messages. But I still really need to use the Stuff I have in Quicken essentials. I don't want to have to restart all my work done in Quicken already.

I haven't used Quicken in a while, but most applications store your files in your Documents folder. Is that where your Quicken data file is? What you do next depends on how many family members need to get at that data.
If multiple family members need to use the Quicken data file, try moving it to the Documents folder in the Shared account. That is an account that all accounts can see. It's at the same level as the other accounts. In other words, Shared is one level up from your Home account, or Hard Drive/Users/Shared.
If you're the only one allowed to see that Quicken data, move the Quicken data file from the old main account to your account, and don't leave a copy behind. You can use the Shared folder as a way station for the transfer since you won't be able to see both accounts' Documents folders at the same time (because you're not allowed to peek into other people's accounts). Or you can use another disk or server for the transfer, as long as you can get to it when logged into either account.

Why do we use both servlets & jsps in developing an application ?

why do we use both servlets & jsps in developing an application & not only jsps

Hi,
It's a pure question of design : Some like it jsp to jsp and others servlet to jsp. It's up to you to decide and it depends of the complexity of your application.
But the best design is the MVC (servlet and jsp working together) because it helps you separate presentation from logic. It also helps you better maintain you code.
You can have more info in javaworld.com.
Good luck

Why we are using cluster tables mainly HR

can any plz tell me why we are using cluster tables mainly HR???

Nice question -
Am making my guess based on whatever little I know;
PCLn are file systems and not a traditional (RDBMS) table system. Each File may contain one or more data clusters. SAP Defines data clusters thus -
A data cluster is a grouping of several data objects. Elementary fields, field strings and internal tables can be grouped in a data cluster.
Example:Clusters B1 and B2 in files PCL1 and PCL2 are relevant to time evaluation, as is cluster PS, which stores the generated schema.
The reason why file system of data storage is used instead of DB Table system may be for the purpose of storing voluminous data (Payroll and time) and ease of retrieval during processing (RDBMS may hv tough time in this). Also probably because of SAP's origin from Mainframe.
Why data clusters are used -? Probably data clusters are an offshoot (or part) of File system
Pls feel free to contradict the above. Actually DB experts can throw more light on this..

I used iphone 3gs iOS 6.1.6 why i can't open an application camera 360 ultimate

I used iphone 3gs iOS 6.1.6 why i can't open an application camera 360 in my iphone

Hello Kunmon,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
