• bhmsaad JavaScript on protected and non-protected disk

  Hello, I visited this forum already some time ago and I did read a thread that said that not all JavaScript commands do work on a non-protected disk (so a disk without AACS). I searched the forum, but was not able to find it back. Can anybody shed some light on this Is it true and if so, which commands are affected Thanks in advance for any info ! Hi, Everything related to network and persistent storage won't work without AACS. The spec is the HD-DVD specification which is available to memebers of the DVD forum - it isn't free and it doesn't come with the jumpstart (although, if you can get a hold of it, Annex X is riveting). But, the biggest restictions you will ...Show All

• FoxyNet Remote button has to be pressed for 1 second to move my cursor?

  Got my finished project on disc today!!! (cut down DVD5) Everything works perfectly but you have to press the HDXA-1's navigation buttons very hard for them to register. What and where is he length of the keypress defined A BIG THANKS to Peter T. and Will M. ! And don't rely completely on the Microsoft Validator OR Tracing.exe They both need some work. Dont assume that just because you show 0 Errors that you script isnt messed up! No probs; glad you got it working. There have been many complaints about the Toshiba remote; it does require some getting used to. I have found that pressing the remote gently is the best way to make it work; you don't have to hold it down at all. My theory is that a lot of the time when you really ma ...Show All

• jgwufgator Problem with 'content ID' while creating directory in 'persistent storage'.

  Hello Everybody.... In the java script for creating a directory (FileIO_createDirectory), do we have to specify the content id also If we don't specify, whether the directory will be created or some exception will be thrown I am giving two examples below, please tell in each case what will happen. 1. FileIO.createDirectory("file:///required/app1",callback_createDirectory); 2. FileIO.createDirectory("file:///required/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/app1",callback_createDirectory); Only Provider (ie, Movie Studio) directories exist at the root.

• Atul Bahl file is .gadget but IE downloads as .zip

  I have packed my gadget files in a zip file. I then changed the name to *.gadget. The icon changed to a gadget icon and double-clicking it installs it. I then uploaded the file to my webserver and it is there are a gadget file. I then linked to it as a gadget file. When I click that link it downloads a .zip file and asks where to save it rather than downloading as a gadget file and installing. What am i doing wrong Mime types.... seems obvious now. .gadget application/x-windows-gadget However, it still doesn't automatically install, but it does download as a gadget now. Any idea on getting an automatic install My final fix was to create an empt ...Show All

• Can-Ann OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All

• OldDrongo HVDVD_TS

  What does the HV in HVDVD_TS stand for Your guess is as good as mine :-) Early versions of the spec referred to both HDDVD_TS and HVDVD_TS in different places, clearly someone was confused. Subsequent versions switched to HV- consistently, which I agree is counter-intuitive. lol, I would expect a folder called HDDVD_TS. ...Show All

• Aamir Iqbal .Net Framework 3.0

  Hi everyone, i want to know whether .Net framework 3.0 supports audio and video streaming. Would it be possible to develop such application with WinFX. So this forum is specifically about Media Foundation, which is the new multimedia API on Windows Vista. On Vista, Media Foundation will not include a WinFX API. As for what .Net APIs people are using for AV streaming, your best bet would be to try our media newsgroups ( http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx ) and find out what others in the community have been using. Thanks, Becky ...Show All

• Hokgiarto How to send custom event form MFT?

  Hi. I want to send custom event form MFT. Should I implement IMFMediaEventGenerator Interface and  use QueEvent() Or is there easer way to send event   thanks.   kasumi Hi Kasumi, The right way to send events from an MFT is through ProcessOutput, not through IMFMediaEventGenerator. When you get a ProcessOutput call and you have an event that you want to send, use the pEvents member of the MFT_OUTPUT_DATA_BUFFER structure. This is an IMFCollection of zero or more events. Media Foundation will send these events downstream in the order in which they appear in the collection, before sending any samples from the corresponding MFT_OUTPUT_DATA_BUFFER downst ...Show All

• frank chen how to capture markup page

  In markup, canvas region can be created by <object> element and this region can be captured using capture() from Drawing APIs and Video image in pause state can be captured using capture() from Player APIs. Similarly how can i able to capture Aperture/Application region(whole markup page) Hmmm, I don't know of any way to do that. There is no way defined in the spec to capture the markup plane. You can only capture a graphic object or a video frame. ...Show All

  I know there is a calander included but no real options, can anyone update this with the option to set reminders/alarms I have tried using both Windows Calander and Outlook Calander but both programs require them to be open all the time for the reminder/alarm to work. If this could be built into the existing sidebar calander that would make life a lot simplier not having to worry about having either formentioned programs open 24/7 for the reminders/alarms to work. ...Show All

• ShurikAg Specification of class definitions?

  I was looking at the javasscript of one of the examples posted and came across: Player.playlist.titles["T1"].jump("00:00:00:00", false); Where can I find a doc that outlines classes and methods. For example what is the second (boolean) parameter for the method jump I think it will only cost you $5,300, but that said, we're all hoping they allow third parties to publish books and documents containing the API's. Information on obtaining the spec can be found here: http://www.dvdfllc.co.jp/format/f_nosbsc.html We realized our mistake that the spec was much cheaper than the licensing, and we've ordered some copies. Will that information ever be released outside the spec I don't have 50 grand lying a ...Show All
