After entering the stretch drive on even terms with Uncle Sigh and In Trouble, My Meadowview's homebred Samraat out-dueled his rivals to the wire in Saturday's Grade 3, $500,000 Gotham, gamely posting a narrow victory on the inner track at Aqueduct. The Richard Violette Jr.-trained colt remained unbeaten in his fifth career start, recording his second straight graded stakes triumph after taking the Withers on February 1, and Samraat essentially guaranteed himself a spot in the Kentucky Derby field.
The New York-bred colt received 50 points for the neck decision, moving to the top of the Kentucky Derby Leaderboard with 60 total, and the son of Noble Causeway could be one of the favorites at Churchill Downs if he continues to shine in his final prep race.
Samraat proved to be all heart Saturday with regular rider Jose Ortiz.
"This is a real horse now," Violette said. "We knew he had a shot to be a real horse after the Withers; he proved he is a real horse today. This was a good field. It was a deep field of horses."
Samraat, who carried 123 pounds by virtue of his Withers victory, was spotting five pounds to runner-up Uncle Sigh and three pounds to third-placer In Trouble.
"The weight had me worried," his trainer said. "We picked up five pounds from last time; that's a big shift. I'd be lying if I said we weren't already thinking (about the Kentucky Derby). At this stage, we didn't want to do anything that would prevent us from going to the Derby."
In Trouble showed speed from post 2 as Uncle Sigh chased from post 4 after the break. Samraat entered the first turn three wide and raced about a length behind the the top two through opening splits of :23 4/5 and :48 1/5.
The trio took closer order on the far turn. In Trouble continued to cling to a short advantage after six furlongs in 1:12 1/5, with Uncle Sigh to his immediate outside, and Samraat edged forward to make it three abreast turning for home.
The three foes battled down the lane and there was some inconsequential contact between them. Samraat came in slightly when switching leads in upper stretch, bumping Uncle Sigh, and In Trouble came out a little in midstretch into Uncle Sigh, who in turn made contact with Samraat. The stewards flashed the inquiry sign after the race to take a look at the bumping but found no reason to alter the outcome.
Samraat gained the upper hand about a furlong from the wire and determinedly out-finished his rivals to the finish line, completing 1 1/16 miles in 1:44 2/5 on the fast track.
"He has a lot of heart, he's a nice horse," Ortiz said. "We had a good trip, broke from the eight post. As soon as we got to the first turn I was third behind the two leaders, and that's where I wanted to be. He responded very good. In the stretch when I showed him the whip a little bit, he was lugging in, but he never made contact with other horses. I just hand rode him and he responded very good, and I tried to keep him straight."
Samraat won his first three starts wire to wire, defeating New York-bred opponents by a combined 25 lengths, including a 16-length score in the Damon Runyon on December 18. He rated in second before posting a one-length victory over Uncle Sigh in the Withers.
"He runs good when he's in the front, but I rated him the last two times and he responded and passed horses and kept running," Ortiz said. "That's a nice horse. I think he's going to handle (additional distance) very good."
"Samraat is a nice horse. Now I'm a believer," said Gary Contessa, trainer of Uncle Sigh. "We closed the gap on him a little bit today, and my horse is still very young. He was intimidated and he got bumped, and he might have been a little bit cautious down in there, but we're getting better. He's certainly developing."
Favored at 2-1 with entrymate Noble Cornerstone, Samraat paid $6.40 to win.
"A couple of races before the Derby probably toughens him, but this was another stretch-long, hard duel, but Jose never hit him," Violette said. "He's an honest racehorse and there might be a little left. Today, he graduated big time. His last race was a terrific race and this was a notch above that. He was pretty impressive today."
Uncle Sigh, the 7-2 second choice among eight betting interests, wound up a neck better than the 9-2 In Trouble.
It was another 5 1/4 lengths back to Financial Mogul in fourth, Next came Harpoon, Master Lightning, Deceived, Extrasexyhippzster and Noble Cornerstone. Classic Giacnroll and Monopolize were both scratched.
Violette was asked about future plans for Samraat.
"He leaves for Florida tomorrow. The Wood (Memorial on April 5) is a real possibility. That would be our best option as long as the horse cooperates and tells us that we should get on a plane and come up for it."
Samraat is out of the winning Little Indian Girl, a daughter of Indian Charlie who has also produced Grade 3-placed Screen Legend and stakes runners-up Kaddish and Original Fate. She is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Nonsuch Bay, a four-time stakes heroine who earned nearly $750,000.
With the $300,000 Gotham payday, Samraat increased his lifetime earnings to $583,200.

Rick's approach is to use plain common sense that connect with each golfer's perspective, by auditory, visual or just doing it methods. Since golf is a game of opposites, understanding and awareness are key to producing the cure for the common swing fault. He addresses the root cause of the physical, mental and emotional issues in a student's golf game. Uses creative drills that address the symptoms as well as the actual root cause, so that students can become their own golf coach. The resultant ball flight is not about just the action at impact but what caused the swing to get to that point of impact. He constantly asks: How did we get that result? What swing process produced that outcome - swing, body move, setup or did the swing thought change mid swing? Passionate about golf, about teaching, about having the fun to get the student to reach their golf goals. By doing this he is constantly building his reputation through referrals, to provide a student who is truly excited about the game. Golf is a journey, and he shares that love with each student from a total solution perspective. Rick's philosophy encourages students to become their own golf coach, by understanding the proper set up, swing movements, flight of the golf ball from the root cause of the problem, not the symptom. Golf is a game of Opposites. With this in mind, students can discover the nature of the problem, apply the cure, and produce repeatable, natural swings on the course where it matters! From Rick's constant effort to expand his knowledge of playing the game, passing it along to students, they can achieve their golf goals with a RICK approach: Repeatable - with all the proper golf skill mechanics to play, Intuitive - common sense approach that is in tune with natural body movement, Confident - mental control of each game shot, to get the best outcome possible, Kinematic - natural body & mind for a fluid golf swing to the finish.

GAINESVILLE, Va. — U.S. Park Police say a department helicopter helped rescue a man and two dogs stranded on a Prince William County lake after a canoe flooded with icy water.
The helicopter was called to Lake Manassas in Gainesville on Sunday afternoon after Prince William County fire personnel tried to enter the water in rescue suits but were hampered by dangerous conditions.
Police say a rescuer was lowered to the man and both were lifted into the aircraft and carried to the shoreline. The man was taken to a waiting ambulance where medics started treatment for severe hypothermia.
The helicopter returned to the canoe and rescuers were able to bring two dogs to shore.

Bereits nach kurzer Siloreifezeit ist BONSILAGE SPEED G in der Lage, hohe Mengen an hefen- und schimmelpilzhemmender Essigsäure zu bilden. Mit dem Siliermittel behandelte Grassilagen überzeugen schon nach 2 Wochen Siloreifezeit durch aerobe Stabilität.
Energy deficits, especially at the beginning of lactation, are a problem in dairy cattle farming. These deficits can be compensated by the use of BONSILAGE silage additives.
The 2017 silage competition of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture once again proved the strength of Europe's leading silage additive BONSILAGE. Grass silages treated with BONSILAGE came in first.
The chamber of Agriculture of Lower Saxony has awarded grass silages of high quality. Many farms were able to produce, despite adverse weather conditions, highquality forage and lay foundation for low feed costs, high animal health and best performances.
This novel combination of lactic acid bacteria strains specifically matched to the complex silage conditions found when ensiling lucerne, clover and grass clover has impressed trial farms in Germany, Spain, and the Czech Republic.
Farm-based studies confirm that BONSILAGE PROTECT provides efficient protection against Clostridia and silage heating in the medium DM range.

PlanBAmsterdam needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
Plan B
We are a new pool billiards club, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Our club opens in September 2009, just outside the city centre.
Our business' philosophy is "for friends and friendly people". Our club has 15 pool tables and 1 snooker table. We will focus on the existing pool billiard scene, but also on tourist, as it is located near the centre.
Pool billiards enthousiasts. Locals and tourists.
Hi there!
We're starting a new Pool billiards Club in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are looking for a logo which will reflect our business and philosphy. The logo will be used for several purposes, like the website, windows, business paper, etc.
The business name is "Plan B".
It's so hard to explain what we'd like but we're gonna try by using some keywords.
- Stencil Art (the logo has to be spray paintable)
- Banksy
- Colors (warm)Grey and purple
- Contradictions (soft colors, strong colors)
- Rebellious
- Calligraphy
Obviously poolstuff like balls, triangles, chalk etc. come to mind and can be used in the design as long as it's not corny. Another thing we were thinking about is using a figure of a pool player breaking off. One of our favorite players is Fransisco Bustamante because of his unique style when breaking the balls (leg almost in his neck, cue bends). However, we're not sure if that would work, so we need input.
It is not an absolute demand to use a pool player figure or a pool ball.
We hope this is enough info to inspire you to participate in this contest. Good luck all!

Bake the Book: Bouchon Bakery
In the pantheon of modern chefs, Thomas Keller has carved out a unique niche for himself. A signature combination of passion and whimsy infuses his work, making his vision edible. His genius lies in drawing upon and combining influences both new and old to develop food that is experienced as much as it is eaten.
The Bouchon Bakery cookbook, co-authored by Keller's executive pastry chef Sebastien Rouxel, is an amalgamation of French and American baked goods. Contained within are recipes for the highly popular, well-loved TKO cookies (our first recipe feature), and Oh Ohs (reverse the letters), as well as recipes showcasing his more fanciful side, like Marshmallow Eggs.
His French roots are also clearly evident throughout the book, with Crepe Cakes and Lemon Meringue Tarts done in the classic style, with grace and care. This is where co-author Rouxel shines: in this book, Keller is the idea man, but Rouxel is all about technique. Each recipe features some little flash of enlightenment to improve or explain the task at hand. The photos, while stunning (it's a huge book) are also educational—a two-page layout of a dozen photographs of an eclair being assembled comes to mind.
It's as much of a pleasure to pore through Bouchon Bakery as it is to bake from it. Any effort you make will be richly rewarded.
Win A Copy!
Thanks to the generous folks over at Artisan Books, we are giving away five (5) copies of Bouchon Bakery this week.
All you have to do is tell us your favorite French dessert in the comments section below.

This past weekend marked the first victory of a hybrid racecar at Sebring racetrack in Florida. On its US debut, the Audi R18 e-tron quattro achieved a dominant one-two victory. In fact, the two R18s battled each other for the entire 12-hour race, finally ending when car #1 crossed the line first. A 60sec penalty imposed on Audi #2 for a collision with a slower car made it harder for them to claim the victory.
The two cars were driven by Marcel Fassler, Benoit Treluyer and Oliver Jarvis in #1, while #2 was piloted by Lucas di Grassi, Tom Kristensen, and Allen McNish.
The Sebring 12hr race marks Audi's eleventh overall victory, its eighth one-two finish and tenth pole position, with the R18 e-tron also setting the fastest lap time ever recorded around the Florida circuit.
Following the merger of US race series ALMS and Grand-Am to form the United SportsCar Racing series, LMP1 cars will not be allowed to run in 2014, so this will be the last time we'll see the R18 e-tron at Sebring. However, there is another chance for US fans to catch the hybrid racecar in the FIA WEC (World Endurance Championship) race at the Circuit of The Americas on September 22.

The Best Spanish-Language Movies Streaming on Netflix!

|Why low cd4 count and low viral load?
Feb 6, 2010
I have a friend that was recently diagnosed with AIDS. His cd4 count was 9 and his viral load was 24,000. Why are both of these numbers low? I would think that if his cd4 count was so low that he would have a high viral load. He was hospitalized for pnuemonia for a month and just began treatment.
Response from Dr. Young
Yours is a common misconception. Any HIV viral load is typically enough to result in CD4 count reductions, HIV disease and complications. The point that you allude to is that persons with higher viral loads tend to have disease progression more rapidly than those with lower loads and that persons with very low CD4s tend to have higher viral loads.
Another important point is that CD4s obtained while one is very sick (like being hospitalized with pnemonia) generally are affected by the acute illness and may not reflect the "baseline" CD4. Either way, it's likely that your friend does have a CD4 low enough to justify HIV treatment-- I hope that he's tolerating medications well and that his follow up will show clinical and laboratory improvements.
Best of health to both of you, BY

Henry Clarke was inducted into the army after he completed his Ph.D. in musicology at Harvard University. In this letter he writes about polishing off a chapter of his dissertation on John Blow who was an English composer working at the end of the seventeenth century. Clarke also writes of having heard a talk about Black veterans of World War I. American Blacks were allowed to serve only in segregated units of the United States military during the First World War. The lecturer, "a colored friend of ours, who works at Harvard," recounted his first-hand knowledge of the staunch patriotism of Black soldiers. He told the story of standing beside a young soldier in St. Nazaire, France, and watching, an American ship headed for home. The speaker remembers, "the colored boy wept and declared if he ever got back to the U.S.A. he would never leave it again. (Later he [the speaker] discovered that this same boy's father had years ago been lynched.)"

The Falcons put their best tackle on injured reserve earlier this week, but they found a replacement with some experience.
The team announced they signed veteran Sean Locklear, after putting left tackle Sam Baker on IR with knee problems.
Locklear filled in at tackle for 10 games for the Giants last year, but his shot at free agency was ruined by a knee injury late in the year. He spent seven years in Seattle, and has 92 starts in the league.
The Falcons have been struggling with protection all year, among other things. Locklear, if well, could add something to the line, even if it's too late to fix the bigger problems.

2. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Aug 1, 2008 11:50 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))That kinda didn't help... It mentioned nothing about MKV files and whoever wrote that just called everyone an idiot instead of admitting the deficiencies of the program.
3. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jim_Simon Aug 1, 2008 12:01 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))I thought it answered the question very well, even without specifically referencing .mkv files.
4. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Harm Millaard Aug 1, 2008 12:14 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))> whoever wrote that just called everyone an idiot instead of admitting the deficiencies of the program.
How right he was and how wrong are you calling it deficiencies. You obviously don't know the program, nor it's intended use. Anyone using an obscure wrapper like Matroska better use freeware or shareware to edit, not a professional program.
5. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Aug 1, 2008 12:20 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))... What do you mean better use freeware or shareware to edit? Since when is it correct for a professional program not to support formats that freeware would support? What's wrong with the MKV format, I don't get it... Is it a crime to get a program to support more formats? The more formats it supports, the better it is. I just didn't like that the response was a smart-*** answer instead of directly answering to me how to get Premiere CS3 to support MKV/whether it's impossible.
6. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Harm Millaard Aug 1, 2008 12:38 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))OK, the short answer is it is impossible.
7. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Aug 1, 2008 12:46 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))Most encoding software usually loads all the decoders installed on the computer. For that reason, Video Cleaner Pro for example can encode MKV files. Is there a way to do such a thing as that in Premiere CS3 and if not, may I ask you, why? Considering the fact that you say IT'S CORRECT for the program not to support certain formats with some lame excuse.
8. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Steven L. Gotz Aug 1, 2008 1:22 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))There are a lot of formats that are not appropriate for Premiere Pro. Some should be included, some perhaps not.
The main goal of Premiere Pro is to edit video imported or captured directly from a video camera.
There are no video cameras at this time that use the Matroska format.
Hence, it would be inappropriate for the codec to be added to Premiere Pro until after all of the other codecs that cameras actually use are included.
Make sense?
Besides, that format is not designed to be edited, merely played back to be watched.
9. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Aug 1, 2008 1:31 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))Well. The designed or not designed to be edited doesn't matter. You can say that about most formats. I guess the camera thing makes sense. Although that's really just an indirect Adobe excuse for not needing to create support to many additional formats. That's also kinda bogus though because many times if you want to edit some video from camera, you'd want to import some clips you might have of some cartoon if its a clip for a baby's birthday or something. That's very common so that's what I'm saying. It wouldn;t be wrong for it to support those formats or to have a feature to import decoders on the computer already.
10. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Steven L. Gotz Aug 1, 2008 1:52 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))I didn't say it would be wrong, just expensive. You are the only person to ever ask for it. Therefore, I doubt that it is appropriate to take all that time to code in a new codec for one person.
If enough people asked for it, then that would be different.
11. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?the_wine_snob Aug 1, 2008 2:03 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))David,
Adobe cannot possibly cover every possible file format. Photoshop has slowly added formats, as their use has increased to the point that it makes it sensible to do so. The same for Premiere, but it has been slower, as file formats in video seem to fade very rapidly.
The Matroska format is meant as a delivery format. Delivery formats are usually not meant to be edited. If a broad enough base of cameras used this format, pressure would be applied to Adobe to include it. Now, Premiere does not handle DivX, VidX, Vivio, and a host of other formats, regardless of which CODECs are installed on a system. Even Premiere's little brother Elements, a consumer application, does a poor job with many consumer formats, other than DV-AVI. It has real problems with .MOD files, and there are at least two popular camera companies, whose consumer models use this format.
There are many camera formats that are also not supported, yet. I'd think that Adobe would be putting their resources to work on them first, depending on how large each format's user-base is.
Give it time. If it becomes popular, then maybe Elements will incorporate it into its list of supported formats, but I'll bet not before they handle .MOD files.
I do not even know if any of my file converters handle .MKV files.
12. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Aug 1, 2008 2:17 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))If you check any AMV forum, you'd see A LOT of requests for MKV support.
13. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jim_Simon Aug 1, 2008 2:25 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))>Since when is it correct for a professional program not to support formats that freeware would support?
Professional products being limited to professional assets is quiet common. There are a host of audio and video hardware that will only accept signals from a professional connection - like XLR for audio or BNC from video. I don't find it at all surprising that a professional NLE acts much the same way, working only with more professional media.
>The designed or not designed to be edited doesn't matter.
It actually does, from a software programming standpoint.
>you'd want to import some clips you might have of some cartoon if its a clip for a baby's birthday or something.
Most people doing those kinds of home videos are probably using Premiere Elements anyway. It's more oriented towards the non-professional.
>What's wrong with the MKV format, I don't get it
Then you would fall under the category of non-professional as described in the link supplied by Eddie, and should probably follow the advice given for such. Doing so doesn't make you an idiot, it just means you're untrained. And the easiest method for the untrained to achieve their goal is to use other, more consumer oriented software.
14. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Dan Isaacs Aug 1, 2008 2:28 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))I know well that these forums are no real place to discuss out feature wish-list for Premiere, but high on this list (for me) is native AviSynth input support. There is a plugin available, but built-in support would be better and more stable. (After Effects CS3 has it: Why not Premiere?)
AviSynth can be the vehicle by which almost any other format can be imported, including MKV.
David -- If you're already AviSynth savvy (and if you're into AMV then you probably should be), then this will be no problem for you. I believe you can simply create a script like...
... and import that into PPro with the avs import plugin above.
15. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Aug 1, 2008 2:36 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))Thank you Dan Isaacs. NOW THERE'S AN ANSWER!
Jim Simon - I know it matters in the programming standpoint, clearly. What I meant was that no matter what the format was designed for, the goal of editing software should be to be able to edit the video. I understand what's being said about MKV but I was getting angry that I wasn;t getting an answer like the one above.
16. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jim_Simon Aug 1, 2008 2:39 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))>What I meant was that no matter what the format was designed for, the goal of editing software should be to be able to edit the video.
But if the format wasn't designed with editing in mind, it makes it that much harder to design software that can edit it.
17. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?John T Smith Aug 1, 2008 4:41 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))I don't know that format, but others have said it is for delivery and not editing... so, read here to see Why NOT to try and edit an MPEG for a possible reason
18. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jeff Bellune Aug 1, 2008 6:10 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))Sidebar:
>native AviSynth input support. (After Effects CS3 has it: Why not Premiere?)
Define native AviSynth support, please. On my system AECS3 won't import .avs scripts. ;)
EDIT: I suspect that you installed the plugin to the Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS3\MediaCore folder. When I did that, AE imported .avs scripts quite nicely, thank you.
19. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Dan Isaacs Aug 1, 2008 8:18 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))Oops.. maybe I forgot ! I do s**t like that sometimes :)
20. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(Caio_GB) Sep 8, 2008 8:00 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))Hi,
sorry for resurrecting this not-so-new thread.
I have installed the plugin in the Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS3\MediaCore folder, but AE crashes when I import the .avs file.
I am running AE CS3 on XP SP3.
Does anyone have a hint?
21. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(Oldarney) Jan 18, 2009 7:53 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))Hi,
sorry for re-resurrecting this not-so-new thread. You support .mov and .AVI files but not .MKV? .Avi files where never meant to be edited. It would do a lot of good to Adobes reputation if it supported MKV, after all how hard could it be to implement an open format?
22. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jim_Simon Jan 18, 2009 7:55 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))This will sound rude, and I genuinely mean no disrespect, but I have to say that you really don't know what you're talking about.
23. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(Oldarney) Jan 18, 2009 8:02 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))Audio Video Interleave, known by its acronym AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a standard container that allows *synchronous audio-with-video playback*.
ehem... 1992. playback...
one of matroskas goal is to: Establish Matroska as the opensource alternative to existing containers such as AVI, ASF, MOV, RM, MP4, MPG
Adobe opened up the pdf format, adobe is just notch below google as a simbol of good under the public eye. mkv would only improve that image.

Yeah, you're reading too much into that.
And what Matroska hopes to be and what it's place really is the current world of computer media are two very different things.
25. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?(David_Kozar) Jan 18, 2009 9:28 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))MKV is becoming more and more frequently used... It can contain subtitles and multiple audio streams. It's almost always used as a container for h264 encoded HD files. There's nothing wrong with what Oldarney said. I don't understand why people on this form, the "Adobe Professionals" which now I just see as fan-boys, are so against MKV among other things. It's ridiculous that Adobe Premiere doesn't accept DVD-Rips directly and instead has to be tricked using an AVS script, AFTER already downloading the AVS extension for Premiere.
Well... the last complaint aside from video compatibility, Premiere has no masking capabilities, one of the most major things in video editing. If I ever need to do it, I have to use Photoshop, editing frame by frame, after saving them from Media Player Classic (as one of the players capable of saving the frame that is paused at). Then I import each of the frames and make a video out of those separate frames..
26. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jim_Simon Jan 18, 2009 11:49 AM (in response to (David_Kozar))I'm not particularly 'against' Matroska files. But the reality is that at this point in time, they're pretty much a non-existant format in the world of editing. (Hell even in the world of consumer playback, they're very rare).
Masking in video is called a Matte. Premiere has this ability. If you mean rotoscoping, then yes, that's something Premiere can't do automatically. (But then even Hollywood uses special tools for this, doing it one frame at a time.)

Hi. Sorry to revive this discussion again, but scanning through I think my specific question isn't quite answered:
I have a client who would like me to deliver in MKV format. Their playback system works best with that format, so it's what they want. (Just to be absolutely clear, I have no desire to edit MKV, I just want to export to that format.)
From what I have been able to find on other forums and FAQs, it looks like the thing to do is to export to some other format (AVI?) and use a freeware program to transmux to MKV. That seems a bit dodgy to me, but that's what I'll do if necessary. I would think it would be better to export directly from Premiere, so if anyone is aware of a plugin for this, I'm all ears.

Harm Millaard.... that's a pretty ignorant post. You do know that Matroska is being used by consumers (with over 40+ million downloads), as well as being used by CE companies like LG, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Western Digital, Sigma Designs, DivX just to name a few. In production is being used for Film Daily's, TV Series Tagging and Storage, Movie Production, Content delivery, again... just to name a few.
My point is get the facts straight as its far from obsure (imho)... and adding to to APP is a must.

That is why PR does not support it. PR is for professional formats and PE is more suited for consumers.
33. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?Jim_Simon Aug 14, 2009 7:48 AM (in response to corecodec)
its far from obsure (imho).
I would have to disagree. In the overall world of video, Matroska is extraordinarily rare compared to other file formats like .avi, mov, the various MPEGs and even .mxf. It's but a tiny blip on the video radar.
34. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?corecodec Aug 14, 2009 8:12 AM (in response to Jim_Simon)
I should have clarified the point I meant "imho" is from a design perspective it has always been made for 'professionals' (Some of us are in the production field for broadcast TV) and with 3 years since our last release is Matroska 1.0 is pretty bullet proof in it's design and flexability. We do have a ways to go before we release 2.0 with better support for streaming and more advance menu support, but we do not want to hurt its current adoption rate and hence that we feel that is way past time for Premiere to support it.
We invite discusions on the opportunity and would even dedicate an engineer to make this happen. If anyone wants to see the technical side of Matroska, visit here: http://www.matroska.org/technical/index.html

We invite discusions on the opportunity and would even dedicate an engineer to make this happen.
Other than for the edification of us "users," this forum would likely not be the best place to hold the discussion. Adobe presence here is very limited, if it exists at all. However, we users can always stand to be educated. We may find benefits from using MKV, or, as the poster who reopened this thread did, may find that one, or more, of our clients requests it.
Many here handle the entire workflow and in so doing, determine the delivery package to their clients. Some, however, receive material, edit it, and then hand it off to someone else. These would be the most likely candidates, but the dictate for format comes from their clients, or from the next person in the production chain.
Most of us here are always ready to learn something new. Heck, there was a time that I did not know what JPEG2000 was, not that I use it much, even today. DNG was once a new format to me. Many of the newer Video formats and CODEC's are still not part of my vernacular - yet, but then I don't encounter them away from the forum.
I've read some articles on MKV, but have yet to grasp how it could help me. I feel that others are in the same boat. Can you give an abstract, that could give us "pointers" on the benefits?
Hunt, always curious
[Edit] As one who knows MKV, do you have any recommendations on how the poster, who re-opened this thread can best get their material into MKV format for delivery to their client? I made one rec., but it was based on suggestions in other fora and might not be the best route. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
PS in the edit of this post, it looks like I may have lost the block quoted text. If so, it should read "We invite discusions on the opportunity and would even dedicate an engineer to make this happen."
[Edit 2] Yep - block quote gone, but material still there. The first line of this post is the quote from the post to which I am replying - not my words, but another poster's. May have fixed it now. Or made it so ugly that no one will even bother with it...

Thanks Wine Snob for your assistance.
Sorry I reignited an old debate. My 2 cents is I think it comes down to the difference between production formats and delivery formats. A professional producer wouldn't use DVD source material to edit (well, unless really hard pressed!) but it's quite reasonable for a professional producer to want to export to DVD as a delivery format since that is a format that consumers can use. Or perhaps a more apt example would be the fact that Premiere Pro allows me to export 3GP files for mobile devices, definitely a consumer format that should never be imported for editing, but very useful to have available.
From what I read, Matroska is intended as an end-user format - not intended to be re-edited, but I am told it gives high quality playback, e.g. for HD digital theatre. (I will find out for myself soon.) I don't think it's mainstream at all, but if it becomes more widespread, I think it would be reasonable for Adobe to add it to Media Encoder as an export option.
37. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?the_wine_snob Aug 14, 2009 8:36 AM (in response to FionaCurrie)
Sorry I reignited an old debate.
Let's change that to "an old discussion."
I only wish that I had more options for a converter. As I have never worked in this format, I cannot give you "first-hand" user info - only what I have read from others.
Fortunately for me, the only oddities are usually with regard to the Assets that I get handed. They are always "the ONLY copy of that file on earth... " Most of my delivery is straight forward - produce an SD DVD-Video. That's why I know almost nothing on MKV, but am always ready to learn.
I should have had the good sense to ask the poster, who recently responded to this thread for recs. on a converter/encoder for you. I assume that he/she at least has ties to MKV, so should also have knowledge of the best way to help you. I see that I need to make an [Edit] to one of my Replies, if still possible.
Good luck, and please update this thread with what you find works best. Someday, someone will benefit, especially if MKV becomes more mainstream, as some hope.
38. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?FionaCurrie Aug 14, 2009 9:04 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)
Ha! Yes "discussion" wouldbe the friendlier term.
Like you I actually often need to deal with less-than-ideal source material (if it's a rare enough shot, I'll try to make it work.) Luckily in this case the source is great; it's just the delivery format I'm unfamiliar with. But I'm used to working on the bleeding edge, so I'm happy to be a guinea pig, try stuff out and repost my findings.
39. Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?NetBuzz Sep 15, 2009 6:14 PM (in response to (David_Kozar))
A simple way to use high definition video (h.264) in a Matroska Wrapper (MKV video) is to transcode it to M2TS using a free tool called:
SmartLabs tsMuxeR.
3 simple steps to use the video:
1: Open it
2: Change profile level to 4.1
3: Save and start muxing
Here is a nice blog post with more information.
http://www.bitburners.com/articles/convert-mkv-video-files-to-m2ts-for-playstation-3-using -tsmuxer/4015/
In my opinion the reason why Premiere does not want to support MKV is because it is mainly used in the pirate world for copyrighted videos.
Good luck and creativity! :-)

On an early Wednesday morning, Signal Snowboards employee Stephen Rezendes applies a coat of epoxy resin to the board he's building, getting a head start for the company's 2013-14 season.
Gliding the scraper from nose to tail, Rezendes efficiently spreads the resin around, applies a sheet of triaxial fiberglass and another coat of the adhesive.
"We're getting ready to start production, which starts May 1," marketing director Marc Wierenga said. "We'll build from [then] all the way to October to ship throughout the world."
Signal could be considered a rookie in an industry filled with big-name companies like Burton or Lib Tech. But in just 10 years, the Huntington Beach business that handcrafts and ships their products from its factory has gained traction in the market.
Wierenga said the company sold about 10,000 snowboards last season, he said.
"It's a slow growth for us because we don't go necessarily to big box stores like Sport Chalet," he said. "We've typically stayed in a lot of the more core-demographic stores, so we're not going after the massive growth there, but the brand itself continues to grow."
Signal started when former professional snowboarder and founder Dave Lee wanted to start his own company in 2004. The problem was Lee didn't have a factory, Wierenga said.
At the same time, Wierenga and his factory were in Huntington Beach and said he was tired of building boards for other companies that didn't have a clear vision.
After meeting with Lee and his art director Kellie Talbot Wierenga took a chance with them and hasn't looked back since.
"We all just clicked together really well," Wierenga said. "We all saw a vision that aligned and [Talbot] and [Lee] were all about manufacturing here in the U.S. and I wanted to work with people with a similar vision."
There are many ways for a snowboard company to expand its name. There's having team riders film video parts for movies, entering competitions and connecting with consumers through social media.
But Signal has taken it a step further with their Every Third Thursday videos on YouTube. Every month since 2010, the staff at Signal has come up with an idea for a new snowboard, but they're far from ordinary.
The first Every Third Thursday board made was constructed by using vinyl records as the top of the board with the next board being made entirely of wood.
Now there's one made out of glass, a surfboard you can take to the mountains, another with built-in speakers and even one with a paintball marker mounted on it.
"We do them every month, so it's not like we have a lot of time to [come up with ideas]. We just have to make them work," Wierenga said. "It's not like we have a whole engineering team going, 'Let's calculate the stress analysis of this and that.' We just go for it."
Jeb Ferria, engineer and floor manager for Signal, said he's always surprised with the ideas that Lee or Wierenga pitch to him.
"There were plenty of times where I told them this isn't going to work," Ferria said. "I amaze myself that we made things work."
Ferria said he was blown away when they built a snowboard with a karaoke player and screen mounted in the center of the board.
"There's never a dull moment," he said. "I've gotten to the point where [Wierenga] or [Lee] will come to me with an idea like, 'Let's put a motor on the back of the board so we can go up a mountain or let's make the board transform into a grill.'"
Building these one-off boards hasn't been for naught. With every radical board they make, Wierenga said they've learned new methods or ways to build their products for consumers.
Signal's Epic series of snowboards were based off the board they made for snowboarding legend Terry Kidwell. It incorporates swallowtail tip and a directional shape found in 1980s boards, but is manufactured by using the current industry methods.
Signal is wrapping up their third season of Every Third Thursday and is currently in the works for their upcoming fourth season.
When asked if they had something exciting for next season, Wierenga simply said, "Maybe the one we're sending to the moon."

Identity theft: What to do if you're a victim
If you're hoping to avoid financial fraud, you can shred your documents, sign up for monitoring services and carefully review all your bills for errors.
But no matter how diligent you are, you may still be victimized.
"Data breach notifications are flying around like the pollen of summer," said Adam Levin, co-founder of website Credit.com. "This the new normal."
Levin offers several tips for limiting the damage if you're a victim.
First, notify your bank or credit issuer of any fraudulent transactions and make sure the account is closed immediately. The same goes for any medical institution and insurer if you discover you're a victim of medical ID theft and the Internal Revenue Service if you know your Social Security number was compromised.
Also be prepared to dispute any fraudulent debts, and any other discrepancies that could arise from someone else pretending to be you.
Second, if the theft goes beyond credit cards, you need to create an identity theft report. Go to the Federal Trade Commission site and file a complaint and print out an identity theft affidavit. You can take the affidavit to the police and use it to submit a police report.
You should contact the three major credit reporting agencies -- Trans Union, Experian and Equifax -- if you think a thief has opened up fraudulent credit cards or other accounts in your name.
To save on all the legwork involved in filing reports and calling agencies, see if you're eligible for a damage control program where a professional either guides you through the process, or handles it for you. There is a decent chance your insurance agent, bank or credit union, credit card issuer, or even your company may offer such a service.

If you hosted Thanksgiving dinner last night, or if you're staying with someone who did, you're probably faced with a fridge-full of delicious and less-delicious foodstuffs. What's your plan of attack?
I personally have a bunch of vegetarian chili, one buttermilk-onion roll, a loaf of cranberry bread, some double-potato bake that I put green beans on top of in a late-night effort to save everything, and a tiny piece of pumpkin pie wrapped in plastic. I also have a whole bunch of unused raw vegetables, because I tend to overbuy when cooking for large groups. I scarfed down some of the chili for lunch, but what about dinner? Do I just reheat everything and have Thanksgiving Part II, or do I try to create a somewhat new meal using the leftovers? Want to advise me, or share your own strategy for dealing with the contents of your post-Thanksgiving tupperware? Consider this the place to share your favorite leftover recipes, to seek guidance, or to post photos of your Thanksgiving culinary disasters/triumphs. Bon appetit!

Grand River Ice Jam Alert Issued; Flood Watch in Kent and Ottawa Counties
A flood watch is in effect in Kent and Ottawa counties through Friday morning because of the potential for ice jams in the Grand River, according to the National Weather Service's Grand Rapids Office.
According to the National Weather Service:
Large chunks of ice were reported on the Grand River upstream of Comstock Park. The ice was moving downstream of Comstock Park. However, it was reported to be jammed up just upstream of the M-21 bridge in Ada. Ice jams can form quickly and cause rapid fluctuations in river levels. This ice will eventually flow downstream toward Grand Haven, and there is some uncertainty about where additional ice jams could form. The Grand River is reportedly coming out of its banks upstream of Ada."
Snow and Winds Possible
In addition, the National Weather Service said:
Scattered light snow showers will remain possible overnight, with most locations only receiving trace amounts. Temperatures will continue to drop, and gusty winds are expected overnight. Conditions will remain windy through Thursday evening before subsiding."
