2007-08-16 Thread Sivakatirswami

Anyone who has done color calibraton for high end press
work will observe an unmentioned and unmeasured factor
in this discussion:

Ambient light lumins, of three types

1) in general --"Surround light"
2) in the 180 degrees in front of  you
3) in the vector directly behind your screen (directly in your eyes...)

if the pupil is contracting from too much light coming in
(the case if you are crazy enough to have an open sunlit
window in your field of vision while reading a screen in that same field)
while at the time trying to focus, for many people this
condition is immediately relieved by white type (or amber)
on a black background. Speed and comprehension
may (guessing) even go up... because if the ambient light
lumins are too high, the user is closing her eyes,
looking away, getting up to go for a walk, to relieve the
eye strain, so, in the course of 2 hours, you end up with less
input...

Meanwhile someone who's environment is set to a 50%
gray (and that can just mean medium beige paint on the walls)
whose computer is facing a brown wall, and the windows are behind him
and the lights are recessed ceiling lights (all good stuff)
he will be very content to read black type on a white background
all day... "he's so concentrated!" and he can't understand why
the lady in the other office with her computer facing that giant
glass window (she loves the expansive view)
 is complaining about headaches...

Simple test... assuming you don't need to see papers
around your desk for those who think white type
on a black background is "easier on the eyes" just  turn off
all the lights in a room, at night, and then switch to
black type on a white background...

Stephen,

No you are not alone, just in the minority from the work we did. I wish 
i kept the data, the company is now gone along with all the files... I 
do remember that the score distribution was totally moved down on the 
light on dark tests, so it looked like most everyone was being affected 
in stead of just part of the group bombing out badly. I'm pretty sure 
that Xerox, Apple and MS HI research has borne out the same conclusions. 
Light on dark is great as long as folks can select what works best for 
them. Only problem is users may not realize their comprehension, speed 
and retention are going down using the dark on light... Even though it 
may look better to you that does not mean you function better with that 
one. Thats exactly why we did the tests so that we would not just do 
what looked good, but what worked better.


in both print and screens i find myself squinting when i go dark on 
light. I dont notice this at first and just adjust, but in a while start 
realizing im squinting and leaning a bit. I know the eye doctors dont 
like you doing that for any long period. my eyes are at boarder line 
needing glasses after years of staring at screens.


Im all for energy reduction and do just about everything i can to do it, 
but in this case i just think its a bad idea unless its totally 
switchable since it can just cause problems. Just seems like there are 
many other ways of saving energy and carbon that are much more active 
and just have all sorts of wins w/o losses. like driving less, not only 
saving energy you are reducing your exposure to injury and exposure to 
high point source pollutants as well as lowering stress!

Very interesting, and as others have pointed out, if you spend more time
doing the same thing then there's no point. I do wonder though if that study
took into account lysdexia;-) I am, and my youngest son is even more so, and
neither of us had any trouble with white on black. My wife on the other hand
is one of those speed readers, she can't stand white on black. I'm wondering
if any of the others here who don't mind white on black are lysdexic;-) I
wonder about colour blindness too?

In the end I guess it comes down to what works for you.

Re: combining sound files

2007-08-16 Thread Mark Smith
Nicolas, AU files are not very complicated, and it would be fairly  
easy to concatenate files as you describe, natively in Revolution,  
providing that they have the same number of channels, the same sample  
rate, and the same encoding. If the files differ from each other in  
any of these ways, then it's much more complicated.


If you're sure that your au. files are all the same in these ways, I  
could probably knock something up in half an hour or so.


Feel free to contact me on or off list.

Best,

Mark

Each time when I save the stack, either by script or using the menu,  
the 3 characters change into 4 characters which don't look right.  
Sometimes, when I click in the message box and subsequently in the

Re: URLstatus for Players set to remote URLs

2007-08-16 Thread Klaus Major

Hi Swami,


I know most everyone is forcing users to download entire movies
before starting players set to http refs... but I would like things  
to be

 a bit more dynamic.

Can players be hooked to libURL such that

set the filename of player "remoteMovie" to
"http://www.domain.org/movies/greatestShowOnEarth.mov";

would "emulate" a load cmd so that we have access to the URLstatus for
that player's download?

...


all this can be done with Trevor's EXCELLENT Enhanced QT External :-)

From the docs:

function qtGetMovieLoadState ()
QT Version: 4.1
Description:
Returns the download state of the movie controller.
This function lets your code perform relative comparisons against  
movie loading milestones
to determine if certain operations make sense. Don't call more often  
then every quarter of a second.

Its return values are ordered so that they conform to this rule:
kMovieLoadStateError
< kMovieLoadStateLoading
< kMovieLoadStatePlayable
< kMovieLoadStateComplete
Parameters:
MovieControllerID: movieControllerID.
Return:
Integer value:
kMovieLoadStateError -1
kMovieLoadStateLoading 1000
kMovieLoadStatePlayable 1
kMovieLoadStatePlayThroughOK 2
kMovieLoadStateComplete 10
...

AND more :-)

Check the docs -> "General"


Best

You can do this using Trevor DeVore's EnhancedQT external.  He has a sample
link that (I believe) explains how to do what you describe:
http://www.bluemangolearning.com/download/revolution/enhancedqt/examples/EQT
_Miscellaneous.zip

This is the same process I use in the jukebox app I mentioned some months

URLstatus for Players set to remote URLs

2007-08-16 Thread Sivakatirswami

I know most everyone is forcing users to download entire movies
before starting players set to http refs... but I would like things to be
 a bit more dynamic.

Can players be hooked to libURL such that

set the filename of player "remoteMovie" to
"http://www.domain.org/movies/greatestShowOnEarth.mov";

would "emulate" a load cmd so that we have access to the URLstatus for
that player's download?

Goal:  One would like to present a progress bar to  users, that could
poll URLstatus for the
player's call to a remote URL... after all it would seem that setting
the player's
filename to an http ref is the same "animal" as a load url call.

I'm finding pretty consistently that any movie that has been exported
with "Fast Start Header"
but *not" compressed hearders and no hinting (we aren't using QT
streaming on one server) will,
even in a non-streaming environment, begin to display frames as soon as
enough data has been buffered.

but, it varies, for reasons I cannot fathom, from one movie to the
next..as to the time that passes before the
movie begins, I suspect differences in bandwidth and data rates. We need
something like

"Please be patient... downloading movie"  numbers and real time
frames if known would be
even better "Your movie will start in 1 minute 32 seconds".

 And a call back would
be marvelous because you could let the user go do something else and
then "ring" them:
"You movie has begun" and then present them the player again, with the
moving just started.
even if it has not been all downloaded yet, but enough data has arrived
to start the movie.
There would need to be some feedback in the API between Rev and
Quicktime... possibly
as simple as polling the current time, which will be "stuck" at 0, even
if you have
started the player... until enough data has arrived and it begins...
hmmm. maybe that
itself is a half-baked solutionI'll test it..

I discovered a simple trick which cured my previous problems: you can
let a movie dynamically
be changed and set another movie on the same card. The problems related to

a) leaving players with a file name set... *always* set the filename to
empty on closing the card...
(otherwise when you go back to the card the player initiates a download
of the previous filename
it was set to and save with .."duh"

b) for rapid switching, instead of stop the player and resetting it:
just delete it and create a new one
this is a) simple and b) so far proving quite robust... set a field with
URLs to different media types, lock it and
bangaway on the lines as fast as you can, with this in the field script:

on mouseup
  set the alwaysBuffer of the templatePlayer to false
  set the showcontroller of the templatePlayer to true
  put value (the clickline) into tUrl
  set the defaultstack to  "Check Media" # just a separate window for
movie display
  lock screen
  open stack "Check Media"
  delete player "mediaCheck"
  create player "MediaCheck"
  set the filename of player "MediaCheck"  to  tUrl
  set the top of player "MediaCheck" to 10
  unlock screen
  start player "MediaCheck"
end mouseup

It works pretty well...



I note that iTunes has moved away from sending people to a browser page
to watch a movie.
It is doing some wierd thing where it calls the browser and then
redirects you back to the iTunes
interface... I don't know what that's all about...why they need to
invoke your browser at all..
doesn't make sense...

But it is more and more trying to be the robust remote desktop client
app that Rev is already good at.
But Apple's implementation is, surprisingly, pretty "wonky"  if I click
on a HD 1080 version
of a trailer, sure, it takes up the width of my screen, but just stops
and hangs, while waiting
for more data... leaving the user in that anxious state of unknowing  if
his system is hung, or what...
I would think if we can hook players to libURL we can offer a sweeter
user interface...

btw: Adobe's interactive PDF's are even worse... you *can* set a movie frame
to a remote URL and it might or it might not work, and Acrobat
officially does not support
such  http feeds to movie frames, you must either embed (ridiculous for
a PDF that's
trying to show, say a 50 megabyte 20 movie) or call the movie from the
local harddrive.

Stephen,

No you are not alone, just in the minority from the work we did. I  
wish i kept the data, the company is now gone along with all the  
files... I do remember that the score distribution was totally moved  
down on the light on dark tests, so it looked like most everyone was  
being affected in stead of just part of the group bombing out badly.  
I'm pretty sure that Xerox, Apple and MS HI research has borne out  
the same conclusions. Light on dark is great as long as folks can  
select what works best for them. Only problem is users may not  
realize their comprehension, speed and retention are going down using  
the dark on light... Even though it may look better to you that does  
not mean you function better with that one. Thats exactly why we did  
the tests so that we would not just do what looked good, but what  
worked better.


in both print and screens i find myself squinting when i go dark on  
light. I dont notice this at first and just adjust, but in a while  
start realizing im squinting and leaning a bit. I know the eye  
doctors dont like you doing that for any long period. my eyes are at  
boarder line needing glasses after years of staring at screens.


Im all for energy reduction and do just about everything i can to do  
it, but in this case i just think its a bad idea unless its totally  
switchable since it can just cause problems. Just seems like there  
are many other ways of saving energy and carbon that are much more  
active and just have all sorts of wins w/o losses. like driving less,  
not only saving energy you are reducing your exposure to injury and  
exposure to high point source pollutants as well as lowering stress!


cheers,

jeff

 account the huge number of page views, according to his  
calculations, 750

 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.


OTOH, at a 20% wattage savings, if I have to spend 12 seconds  
longer each
minute squinting at light gray text on a black background then  
it's a wash.
And if I have to spend any longer because of the unreadable text I  
actually

waste more electricity than if I'd left well enough alone.

Hi all,

Recently, when i updated to Rev 2.8.1
i discover that i have a brand new version
of the browser dll (i bought the first
version from Altuit) and SQLite and Font dll.

Where i could find the original docs and demos
published by Altuit or (hopefully) the more recent
and updated ones from RunRev?

Thanks in advance.

alejandro

OT: (old subject) where is all this best documented? We have at least
1/2 dozen
initiatives going now to provide cyberspace for rev resources...
but still a virtual black box for any newbie looking for help.
Eric's resources picker being the best solution floated to date.
but I don't think it is up to date with new repositories.


Thanks for the kind words.
Resources Picker or 2.7/2.8 Search engine are shipped with a list of  
about 40 urls.
Later, it's easy to add, rename or remove an url by using the tools  
menu in Resources Picker or by right clicking the 'Display' button in  
the Search Engine.

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Assuming that your filepath is correct, that should be:

set the imageSource of char 3 of field "texte" to "binfile:C:/ 
Documents//Belo.jpg"

You could use my little "mk_libsmil1" to get started.
Get it via Rev-online, user "klausimausi".

   1. Use Trevors Ehanced QuickTime external to create QuickTime  
movies

   with the audio files i them.

Use "command qtSetTrackOffset" and layereed tracks to precisely  
control

timing.


In addtition you can load the resulting SMIL file into a playerobject  
and use Trevor's

EXCELLENT Enhanced QT External to export one mov file from it :-)
