Workflow help needed VCR to DVD and HDD via Canopus AVCD110

I think that some of this subject has been addressed in previous posts. This is a new area for me and I am not sure that my configuration has been addressed previously so I am seeking help.
I have already transfered some home movies from VCR to iMovie 09 using the Canopus. I have not edited any of it at this stage.
Some of the tape is old and deteriorated. This shows on the IM09 clips as horizontal static across the frames. Someone suggested that I use a Video Enhancer (hardware costing around $100)between the VCR and the Canopus to lift quality. I have also found on the web a software solution (Video Converter) which claims to also enhance quality and de-noise. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations on either of these as a means of lifting the video quality?
The next issue surrounds the use of MPEG Streamclip. I have gathered from other posts the necessity of using this program to convert the captured DV files to AIC to ensure the finished quality before editing and sending to Toast or iDVD. I am interested in any feedback on this process?
Finally, I would like to be able to view the finished product on a WD TV Live and have another copy on DVD. Given that I have Toast 10 what is the best way of completing these tasks?
I haven't taken the leap to a BluRay burner yet but I am thinking about it.I understand that it is better for archiving than DVD and the capacity would suit the quantity of video I have.
Any and all feedback and recommendations on the (complete) workflow would be appreciated?

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Disk configuration and workflow help needed for lab video workstation

Hi All,
Setting up a video editing workstation for a research lab that will use Premeire to edit AVCHD Progressive clips (sometimes with 2 streams side-by-side, but usually single-camera) and export them to .mp4 for later viewing by video coders. We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
16GB RAM
Asus Z87-Pro
GeForce GTX 660
I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point.
To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
Thanks again.

HP Pavillion A6500f- Product KQ495AA-ABA- BIOHD 3 error-DVD and HDD seen as SATA 3 & 4

BIOHD 3 error when diags are run. Bios sees DVD/HDD as Sata 4/3. DED/HDD plugged into Sata 2/1. Only 4 Sata ports but bios sees Sata 1-6. If I plug DVD/HDD into Sata 4/3, then Bios sees them as Sata 6/5. Cannot get Sata 1/2 to see any drives. Replaced Cmos battery and tried clearing Cmos. No help. Suspect original Hdd is good but new hdd has same no boot problem. Setup disk for hdd wont boot on DVD so new hdd cannot be set up. Can select hdd or dvd in boot path but still will not boot to dvd or hdd. Any ideas???
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sata 3/4 are correct. Sata 1/2 are reserved for IDE devices. A bad DVD drive caused the problem. It apparently was hanging the bus and preventing the system from recognizing bootable devices. A new SATA DVD allowed it to boot and thus reload the OS.

Document Publishing Approval Workflow - Help Needed

Hello All,
I am trying to use Publishing Documents with an Approval workflow, but however when I am creating a Document and am publishing it, it does not show up in the UWL of the Approver.
Can some one suggest what could be wrong or missing.
Best Wishes,
John.

Hi,
I you have configured approval process and you are receiving notification in Recent Notification iview, it's working fine, you should check:
The UWL interacts with (task) item providers through specific connector. The connectors perform basic mapping of attribute values and determine the work item type and execution method. Connectors also help in connection to object and attachment repositories to retrieve additional custom attributes or attachments.
The UWL comes with standard provider connectors and it is possible to configure their detailed behavior based on work item types.
The connectors that are configured by default with UWL are:
· AdHocWorkflowConnector
· ActionInboxConnector
Both connectors are configured by default, so both Collaboration Tasks and KM Recent Notifications show up in the UWL by default. Removing the connectors will remove the corresponding items from the UWL.
ActionInboxConnector
This connector relates to the Notifications received by UWL from Knowledge Management (KM).
The ActionInboxConnector provides KM Recent Notifications into the UWL Notification tab, which include document feedback, subscription items, subscription administration, and document approval notifications; in addition, checked out documents appear under Tracking, and documents for approval under Tasks.
By default the Action Inbox Connector for UWL is enabled.

Help needed playing a dvd on laptop

I recently just bought the HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx laptop. It works like a dream, except for one thing. I can't seem to play dvds. It has windows vista home premium which comes with the Windows Media Center and dvd decoder, but whenever I insert a dvd and click on the mediasmart dvd player, it says "No disc in drive. Please insert a movie"
I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if they were able to fix it, or if anyone has any idea of how to fix this.
My dvd player just wont read dvds. And I've been trying to play commercial dvds-not ones that i created myself. I tried playing "forgetting sarah marshall". So its not something wrong with the dvd.
Thanks.

Id really like to help. However certain issues are beyond the scope of what I can do.
You can check here:

And follow the directions to see if theres any solutions to your problems.
Otherwise I would try running a factory recovery and see if this clears things up.

Help needed! T40 DVD driver cannot read DVD

Dear Expert
My DVD driver cannot DVD. The DVD driver icon in "My Computer" does not show the name of the DVD and when clicked, shows "no DVD inserted".
But it can read CD.
Thanks very much for your help and advice in advance,
Cath

there is a possibility that the laser associated with the DVD reader is no longer functional, while your CD reader laser still is, as these two lasers are different.

Help needed in redoing networking and home entertainment

I realize that this is a site dedicated to all things Apple, but I am hoping I can't get some honest and impartial help on building the best home network and entertainment system.
I currently have an XP Media Center desktop computer in an office of my home where all of the network stuff is at and is connected via ethernet. I also have a Mac G4 MDD 1.0 that I am using in another room for Adobe Creative Suite to do my own promotional items and I have about a 50' Cat 6 cable running back to the router in the office. I also have a Vista laptop that is connected wirelessly but believe it is only a "g" network? I don't really use this a whole lot but take it out to job sites and such so there is information I need to send back and forth to my external drives hooked up via ethernet to my router. I am in the process of getting a new MacBook Pro as well.
I have a PS3 hooked up to my home entertainment center but unsure of how to make everything work the way that I want. Here is what I would like to be able to do. 1) Networking of all computers and external drives, 2) Operate my Mac G4 Wirelessly, 3) Addition of internal bluetooth to G4 so I can get a wireless keyboard and mouse, 4) Ability to play iTunes from external hard drives on home entertainment center, 3) Ability to stream media from internet and hard drives to HDTV in home entertainment center
I am looking to upgrade my router to dual band with either the Airport Extreme or the Netgear WNDR3700. I don't know which to get and have found about the same amount of pros and cons for each on the web. Any suggestions and why?
Do I need an Apple TV or a Netgear WNHDEB111 or other Digital Media Reciever???
What else would you recommend to accomplish my goals and why do you recommend the part and brand that you do.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance I can get.

Hello, I will gladly assist you with these steps. Have you already set the printer up physically? Are the ink cartridges set in and the printer is ready, just waiting to be downloaded to the computer? If you still have the CD that came with the 8600 printer, all you have to do is place the CD in and click SETUP. This will guide you step by step to install.
Now the tricky part is how you want the 2 PC's connected. You can go USB (hardwire from printer to computer), Wireless (set the printer up on network and PC on network with NO cords attached, or you can go Ethernet (a cord going from the printer to the router).
Let me know how you are able to connect, and I can guide you through those steps.

File naming issue/workflow help needed...

I shoot weddings and am continually frustrated with A2's file naming. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated as it's killing my workflow.
THE GOOD: I import the images with the file name I want and the metadata I want. I then edit out, deleting bad images and leaving borderline images (as outtakes) in the project while putting my selects together for the client in a smart album. I put the selects in a smart album based on their rating and keywords. The selects are not sequential, so I "select all" and make "batch change" putting them in sequence.
THE BAD: Here is where I always encounter my first problem. Any images I have have worked on (in Photoshop) for my website now have different names. So when I export all in the album, the worked-on versions don't fit in sequentially. And some stacks have the edited image on top, and others do not.
The other problem is when a bride places an order. I find the corresponding file and externally edit it. It now resides in the smart album with a different name than all the files around it. I put the print size in the exported version name and I have to open the dialog box for every single image and re-type the size in the custom name space. I have an order with 295 different images and it's killing me. The other problem is when the bride goes to re-order a print she has, the number on the back has no connection to the numbers on my site or the smart album.
I find I'm going back to Photomechanic more often just to organize and name images because it actually changes the name of the file instead of "masking" it as A2 seems to do.
Is there a way to keep A2 from doing this and how do I get the adjusted image to be the pick of the stack?
Thanks-Kevin

I happily paid the 20 bucks for 'A Better Finder Renamer' and was able to have it batch rename RAW files to my needs. It uses simple Boolean logic to cut or add to a file name and can read time stamps from the file.

Workflow help needed, transitioning from iPhoto/iPhoto Library Manager

HI all, I am using latest Aperture, iPhoto, and 10.6.3 on lan connected macs and need some help setting up a workflow/libraries that represent some sanity amid the tens of thousands of photos that I have. Before getting Aperture3, i was using iPhoto and iPhoto Library Manager to work between an imac and an mbp; i would create a temp library to travel with on the mbp and then when I returned to the office I would merge the updated temp lib with the master lib housed on a huge external drive hanging off the imac. Using iPhoto Library Manager this is a lot of work and very slow indeed.
So with my new install of Aperture3, I am sure there is a better way, I just have not found a coherent tut that explains what I should be doing under these circumstances. I see that I can import iPhoto libraries, and that I can also use referenced files to get things into Aperture no matter where they are, or I can ??? Really confused on all the options.
Ideally, I think what we all want is a cloud like repository for all photos where users could check in and check out photos and have all the metadata preserved, but I guess they also want ice water down under, and haven't gotten that yet either.
Short of the above fairytale, what can I do? I do expect to have another mbp in the field soon, so that will be two machines/users that will need to pull things out of a master repository and check back in updated files as well as add new files to the collective.
Thoughts? Thx.

1) Import my one massive iPhoto Library into Aperture 3 - but do I use referenced or embedded options? Is there any advantage to leaving everything in iPhoto and just referencing from Aperture? Or do I get everything into Aperture and then just blow away iPhoto?
I see no reason to leave the files in iPhoto. If you agree you can do one of two things: either move them elsewhere and reference them or manage them in Aperture. Many folks recommend referencing them, but it's a choice only you can make.
I see no reason to continue with iPhoto.
2) In Aperture, I can export a set of projects from the main repository into a "traveling library", say when I take the MBP out on assignment,
Correct: File -> Export Project as New Library
and then when I return, I just import that library back and the updates I made on the road will get integrated with the whole again? If so, that's worth the price of admission!
Correct.

Need info about CPU and HDD for Tecra 8200

Hi Guys im new and have just bought the above laptop. However i want a faster CPU and bigger Harddrive (10GIG at the mo after 40 GIG if possible) and my CPU is Intel Pentium III 750MHZ. Please could someone point me in the right direction of where i can get a 40 gig h/drive for the right sort of money and what is the fastest / suggest CPU i can get / go for.
Thanks for your help .

Hi
The fact is that the Tecra 820 was delivered with different CPUs:
PIII-M (Mobile) 750MHz;
PIII-M (Mobile) 850MHz;
PIII-M (Mobile) 900MHz;
PIII-M (Mobile) 1.0GHz
In this case the fastest CPU which you can use is a PIII 1GhZ.
However the CPU changing is not easy and you should change anything if you have no experience.
Important: You will loose the warranty if you open the notebook.
Furthermore in my opinion you need also a high performance cooling module because the new CPU will produce more warmness.
I have also found a information that this unit was delivered with 10GB; 20GB; 30GB HDDs. I think you will have no problems to use a 40GB HDD. The compatible one you can order from the Toshiba service partner.

Workflow help need urgently in Material Master creation

hi All
I am trying to create a Workflow for creating Material Master views in ECC6 system . Initially Basic data 1 and basic data 2 is created by user and then my workflow is trigerred for subseuqent views .For e.g i need to route the workitem to a user to fiill in Purchasing data and then to another user to fill in accounting data after basic data 1 and basic data 2 is created by so called super user. I was trying to use business object BUS1001006 for this using method CREATEVIEWS but i am getting stuck here with using this method . I dont know how to use this method so that once the user clicks the workitem it should directly go to Puchasing tab view or Accounting tab view (depending on the kind of user currently accessing the workitem).
Any idea how to solve this problem ? It would really be helpful for me
Thanks for your help in advance

Help needed with Copying DVD error in Toast Titanium 6

(I tried to post to Roxio forum but couldn't get registered) ... hope someone can help
I made an iDVD of a school event (Métis Gathering) and burned it to DVD through the iDVD program (iDVD 6)
I used Toast (6.0.3) to make 8 copies of the dvd.
Now I need to make more copies, but Toast never finishes the 'recording' (copying) session ... it gives me "couldn't complete the last command: I/O error, result code -36."
I'm using the original DVD, which was only played once and I've kept it as a master .... I don't see any scratches or anything on it.
What's happening? What can I do?
Any help is appreciated, thank you
Eliz
iMac 17", Intel Core Duo , 512 Ram, 160 GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

With the luxury of two internal burners, I've never
used Toast that way.
I find it a luxury just to have a dvd burner!!
Any way, back to the saga .... I tried the same original master dvd at home again, no copying possible, so setting the speed wasn't a factor
So, I put in the copy I made at school .... I made a disk image with disc utility, then burned the image ... at a slower speed ... with toast. Seems fine. I'm going to save the disc image as a data dvd to use as the future master, no more copying with toast for me!
Since I've managed to overcome this little problem using a second computer (the luxury of which I won't have, come July), i think I'm okay ... just need to remember to try a slower burn speed from the start next time ...
But, why wouldn't it read the dvd? almost like it had a shelf life or something
Thank you for your help
Eliz
