• chubbysilk 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); Another problem you'll have is encryption.

• Jason Mueller Basic video encoding help

  i'm going to be doing my first video encoding so forgive the stupid questions... i've noticed that often i'll watch some site's wmv formatted videos that seem to have to wait until the entire file is downloaded before it starts playing and others that start immediately... is this due to a difference in how the file was encoded Try posting your question here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.encoder&lang=en&cr=US Off the top of my head, though, I would guess that this has more to do with the distribution mechanism for the content -- whether its is being streamed or downloaded, for instance.

• m.shuhrat uncompressed YUV to EVR

  Hi, I am writing a simple YUV media source to take in .yuv bytestreams and send it to the EVR. I have modified the MFT_Grayscale to act as a dummy transform to copy the yuv samples to the EVR. I am also using the playbackFX sample for the player. I'm having a problem with the player just showing a black screen, as if no samples are being sent to the EVR. I have verified that the samples are being processed in the dummy transform with the correct image size and attributes for my given yuv sample. I have tried other yuv samples and all just display a black screen, but the samples are being processed for sure. Is there any way to debug this to see if the samples are being sent to the EVR Or does anyone have any clues why this is happeni ...Show All

• Duncan Stewart TextStream, writeline

  The writeline method writes a string and a new line char, right Why i "don't see" this new line I'm getting all in the same line! FileIO.openTextFile( "file:///required/score.txt" ,FileIO.FILE_IOMODE_WRITE, false , true , cbfnGetTextStream); And then... pTextStream.writeLine(score); FileIO.saveTextFile(pTextStream, cbfnSaveTextStream); And i'm getting all the scores in the same line... You may be using a text editor that does not recognize the EOL delimiter write line character output. If you are using notepad, try using wordpad. Also, there may be a write line escape character like "\n". this is a guess though as I am not currently using the FileIO object. Actually * ...Show All

  I need to show text that can be changed in script. What's the best way I mean, what's the best element to use in markup that allow you to change the text via script And document.element.state.value = "sometext"; is correct edit: I got it using <input> with the mode="display", now my question is how to make the input "unfocusable", i mean avoiding the input to get the focus when i move throw the bottons on the screen. edit2: style:navIndex = " none " on the input was the solution   I believe HDiSim has a bug where it still includes navIndex="none" elements in the implicit nav list. They never get the focus, but they use up a spot in the list. So you end up having to cursor over the phantom elemen ...Show All

• R.Tutus Is there any kind of "secured storage" implemented in HD DVD specification ?

  I mean if you safe any file on the permanent storage by using an HDi application (for example capture a frame of a movie and save it to the hard disc) can this file be loaded or modified by another disc or can one disc only reach a defiened part of the permanent storage thx mikeret PStorage can only be accessed by the particular title: one title cannot mess with anothers storage. If you want to share things, there is a Common area that anyone can get to. (This is for AACS titles only: non AACS titles cannot get to pstorage at all of course). You can prevent modification of the files (e.g. on a PC where users can maybe get to them) by MAC-ing the files: if modified they won't load any more as ...Show All
