    2000 ADUC for 2003 domain

    Our corp environment req that workstations continue to use W2000 while the domain has been upgraded to W2003. With the W2000 admin tools on my workstation, it appears I can still access and manage the new W2003 AD database. I do realize that there are two distinct version of the adminpak.msi...

    Capture Basics

    Just to add... PPro includes the Mainconcept encoder for exporting directly to MPEG2 (although I understand that many people prefer the result from TMPGEnc). The DIVx codec uses a "very" high compression...it claims to be "the solution" for video like MP3 was/is for audio. Unfortunately the...

    Reading DVD (VOB files) into Premiere

    Try looking for a "DVD ripper" utility. Just like "ripping" a CD extracts the .cda files a .wav files, a DVD ripper util will extract .vob files into .avi

    urgent! ... a simple one for experts!!!

    These are great sites...check the out for sure. What you are looking for is the "final" process referred to as "authoring" a DVD. This is the process of using the MPEG2 file(s) and creating menus, chapter points, and the .VOB files in the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS structure req'd for a DVD disc...

    Need help with premiere 6

    ernrocks: In Prem6 you have a choice of A/B editing or a single primary video track. In A/B editing, you should see seperate vid A&B track plus a "transition" track between them. Place clip #1 (in vidA) and clip #2 (in vidB) so that the start of #2 lines up with the end of #1. Place your...

    how to view project on tv monitor

    vdodva: I don't think there is anyway to output "only" the project window to your TV. Premiere will allow you to "preview" you project on an external monitor (TV in your case). Check you settings for Previews - there are options there to specify sending A+V to external output and/or just the...

    Capture Basics

    pennuk: There are certainly lots of options in terms of products, but blkj has summed it up well. The process is: 1) capture and edit orig footage 2) convert the resulting AVI to MPEG2 (req'd for DVD authoring) 3) Use the MPEG2 to "author" a DVD (the process of creating menu's, chapter points...

    Building a DVD from a Premiere Timeline

    Althought the www.dvdrhelp.com site has already been mentioned, I just wanted to add specifically that there is a section for "tools". One of the best I've found is this bitrate calculator... http://www.dvdrhelp.com/calc.htm Simple type in the duration of your video etc etc...very easy to use...

    Restoration of exchange 5.5 mailboxes using backup exec

    Sorry justin2000... dryph's orig question was about "restoring an exchange database", I guess I assumed that he only wanted to restore data and not re-install the exchange software (as you suggest in #1). In the case of completely re-installing the software, then you're correct - the dsadata...

    Restoration of exchange 5.5 mailboxes using backup exec

    Here's the process we use: - Set the Exch System Attendant service to disabled and reboot. The Exch Directory Serv cannot be running during restore...disabling the SA stops everything from starting on reboot. (BTW, you can't just "stop" the Dir service) - there are two folder which...

    Resize image-larger

    ha..ha..ha... very good viol8ion... I read right over the "psi" and didn't even see it...quite right of course (sorry cartix, no offence intended) My "dpi" reference is just an old habit from having used PS for so long... back when images were used *only* for...

    Resize image-larger

    Well technically, 'yes' you *can* resize it...but I doubt it's going to look like anything you're going to want to print...sorry. By all means of course, give it a try...it's at least worth the learning experience to see what happens. When it come to printing (assuming you're looking for...

    Rule of thumb: When to replace tape media?

    You didn't mention what type of tapes you're using, but I'll assume that in this forum we're talking about some flavor of DLT. The manufac claims that DLT is "supposed" to be rated for 500,000 passes (take that as you will...). For my DLTs used on a daily basis, I'm comfortable...

    Backing up Exchange 5.5 Mialboxes

    Usually the "Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes" is used to backup individual mailboxes (as seperate files vs the entire IS as a single unit). Were you prompted for an admin account ID?? (I recall this option prompts for the account as well).? Sounds like BE is building the individual...

    Stretching video to fit audio

    Akribie, you are of course absolutely right. ...although, - perhaps some new user will use the "search" function and find my answer helpful... - perhaps this project was abandonded and bringing it back to the top of the list will help get the ball rolling again... - perhaps seeing...

    Adjust a group of pics to fit the length of the audio

    The storyboard tool is great, as mentioned. Using markers is also a good tool for placing those pics exactly where you want them to appear in relationship to the music (perhaps on a particlar down-beat etc). If you simply want to "stretch" (or shrink) all pics so that they evenly fill the...

    Speed-up the process from AVI to MPEG-2

    I also prefer TMPGEnc for encoding (best quality I've found) and yes, it normally needs an uncompressed AVI (which I used to export from Premiere). I have recently found a product/method called "frame serving". There are several products that perform this function as a Premiere plug-in...
