Debayering and quicktime encoding

Hello,
I'm using netbeans 5.x under ubuntu 8.04 with J2SE, JDK 1.6.
I have built an application that pilots a digital camera. I now have to transfer images from the camera to the pc, so I create a socket and get the datas into an array, no problem on this side.
The thing is, I now have to first debayer those raw datas, and then to encode the frames into a 10 bit uncompressed quicktime file.
Is there someone who has already worked on something like this in Java ? Everywhere I look it seems the jmf can't handle it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan.

Hi,
No one can confirm that it's not possible to encode quicktime 10 bits uncompressed from raw datas (RGB pixels) with the jmf ?
Thank you,
Dan.

Premiere and Media Encoder Crashing During Export of Quicktime Files

Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC crashes when exporting Quicktime H.264 files. Sometimes the export will work, sometimes it crashes the app. After crashing, the app will freeze while loading "ExporterQuictimeHost.bundle" and requires a hard re-boot of the system to startup again.
I have tried removing some Quicktime codecs from the Quicktime library folder, as suggested in other threads. This has not solved the problem.
I am editing with Quicktime ProRes 4444 files.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's some system info:
Mac Pro Mid 2010
OS X 10.9.4
2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
36 GB Memory
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1536MB
Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme
Cuda Driver Version 6.5.14
Creative Cloud CC 2014

I'm having similar problems. I can't export anything now...either from Premiere or from Media Encoder. My sequence is ProRes HQ, I am exporting using sequence settings.
It gets about 75% of the way through and bails with this error message:
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
That's really helpful. Addtionally, when I tried to export out of Media Encoder, I was greeted by an extremely loud bleating goat noise when it failed. Nice. I had a room full of clients. Thanks Adobe.
I'm seriously doubting the claim of "Pro" at this point.
This was not beta tested with a ****.

Quicktime encoding and DVDS pro serialisation

Having problems with submitting a 47 min FCP timeline for compressor to encode I decided to try using the quicktime method to get an Mpeg 2 file. I am stopped by the message that my DVDS Pro must be serialised first in order to run the Qt MPEG encoder. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FCP Studio 5.1 plus all the updates, tossed the FCP Studio ID file and re registered but to no avail.
Blaming Leopard after which I have had problems with my 5 year old mac I have, on an external drive, installed OS 10.4.9 and FCP Studio 5.1 and all the updates ( ten in number), again with no improvement. In fact I had to manually install the mpeg 2 component as it did not appear in the list of options.
Any suggestions?

I have managed to solve this one in a roundabout way. I have again uninstalled DVDS 4. Reinstalled DVDS2 ( still had the disc though I surrendered the FCP 4 install disc to update ) with its registration number. Updated to DVDS 4 and the encoding to MPEG 2 worked. Unfortunately the result is still jagged video.

Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

Hello,
I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

JVC DR HD100 and quicktime into finalcut

I purchased a JVC DR HD100 Hard drive recorder which is the same as the Focus enhancements unit.
The formats from the unit are M2T and quicktime. Since Final cut doesn't edit M2T files I set up the unit to create Quicktime files. The catch is that the unit produces a tone in the audio track that resides in the 1k to 1.5k range or the frequency range of the human voice. The tone is fairly loud and if you run the unit right on the verge of clipping the noise disappears but that forces the use of the AGC which is unacceptable for professional purposes. This is a nightmare and I've been trying to get JVC and or Focus Enhancements to fix the problem. First there was a series of finger-pointing and after sending the unit to focus they told me there was nothing wrong that the unit functions properly. Eventually they both admitted there was a problem butsaid it was a finalcut problem. I'm still sitting here with an expensive device that is incapable of doing it's job. and no answer in site while I see advertising about this unit coupled with the JVC ProHD cameras and Finalcutstudio. Am I the only one having this problem or are there others being told the same story with no resolve in sight? I'd really like to know because there is far more power with a group than with each person trying to fight this battle. Does anyony have this unit? Do you have workaround for Finalcut and M2T files. Help

Hi David:
I appreciate your suggestions but I have tried these. and the unit is the culprit. even JVC and Focus admit the problem but play it down. Streamclip as a work around takes far too long. About twelve hours for a three hour session. The whole idea is that it should be immediate. Clipwrap seems to be a faster solution. I should add that the M2T format does not suffer from this problem. I first used that and learned the hard way that three hours of HD footage takes 12 hours to re-encode using streamclip. That kills my workflow and makes the HDD unit moot. I can use tape and get a faster import than that. I use FCS with Finalcut 6.0.5 which is a newer version and originally JVC said that the problem didn't exist in 6.0.3 but a fellow FCS user was at 6.03 and it did the same thing. In addition when I import the files from the JVC DR HD100 I get a message in final cut asking me to re import or re encode the files as they are not optimized for final cut. This is a real mess! But thanks for you thoughts.

After Effects 7.0 and Quicktime Plugin Conflict

Hello "forum-ers",
I'm using Adobe After Effects 7.0, and i've created a video in the same.I want to use this video in Adobe Flash CS3.Neither the flv nor the Quicktime formats are available in the render queue options.I presume its because i do not have Quicktime installed.But if i try to install Quicktime, AE wouldn't load.It displays a message, error while loading plug-in "Scripting", and then crashes.So, i guess there's a shared plugin somewhere in between the two.
So if i use QT,i cant open AE.If i use AE,i cant save in QT.Similar problem lies in Flash, and its CS3 Encoder.Without installing QT, it displays a message : install DirectShow 9 "and" Quicktime 7.
Any help appreciated!
Many Thankx,

I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like something is severely mixed up on your system. Do you by any chance use some widget-y system extensions? Users have reported some funny things going on when e.g. MenuMaster or specific news feed widgets are installed. In any case, since for the time being you seem to be stuck with no QT in AE, you should work with TIFF files and PSDs. Both formats are reasonably compressed (for TIFF, enable the LZW option), support 16bpc and they are handled by native Adobe loaders/ savers, which should eliminate any potential interference side effects from your defunct QT routines. In addition, TIFFs can play almost realtime in AE just like some QT CoDecs, which helps when scrubbing through a complex project.

AC3 Audio and Quicktime 7.6 Problem

I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with opening an audio file with the .ac3 extension in the updated Quicktime 7.6?
What I have been doing, for a couple of years now, is that I capture a TV program from my DVR using the firewire port. Once the file is loaded on my Mac, I then open MPEG Streamclip, trim out the commercials, Export to Quicktime using H264 and 2 channel AAC audio, after the export is done, I would then do a Demux to AC3 to get a separate audio only file containing the 5.1 surround sound.
I would open the .ac3 audio only file, open the .mov video file (both in Quicktime). I would then copy the 5.1 audio track from the .ac3 file, Go to the .mov file, perform Edit/Add to Movie. This way I would have 2 audio tracks, AAC a 2 channel track and AC3 a 6 channel track.
But now with Quicktime 7.6, I cannot open the .ac3 file at all, I get "The file is not a movie file." error message with no error code.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bill

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
I think I have discovered a way to workaround the AC3 5.1 sound problem.
I found an old 20GB drive and installed Tiger 10.4 onto the drive. I then downloaded the "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11PPC.dmg" file and updated the system to Tiger 10.4.11. I performed all of the updates (System Security updates and the Java updates) through Software Update except for iTunes and QuickTime.
I then downloaded the "QuickTime755_Tiger.dmg" file from Apple and updated to QuickTime 7.5.5
DO NOT UPGRADE TO 7.6
I then opened the TV show in QuickTime 7.5.5, I extracted the audio file from the program and saved as a separate audio file (it saves as a .mov file).
I opened this audio file in QuickTime 7.5.5 and then exported the audio
selecting Export Movie to QuickTime movie,
clicked on the options button,
the sound box should already be checked,
clicked on the settings button,
under the Format drop down I clicked on AAC,
Channels: I clicked on 5.1,
then Rate:48.000,
checked on Show Advanced Settings,
Quality: Normal,
Encoding Strategy: Constant Bit Rate,
Target Bit Rate: 384
(used MediaInfo Mac to gate this information),
clicked OK,
Clicked OK,
then named the file, saved it and then waited for audio to be converted from AC3 5.1 to ACC 5.1.
If you now open up this file in QuickTime 7.5.5 it is an ACC format with 5.1 and plays fine.
I then restarted to my regular drive with QuickTime 7.6 loaded and it plays the audio file without any problems.
I'm sure that there must be a way to repackage the AC3 audio file in an AAC container that will work better and faster, but for now this seems to work, so I am going to try some other shows that I have.
Let me know if this works for others.

FLV QuickTime encoder... Where's it at?

I have installed Design Premium CS4
Playing with video in Photoshop Extended, File/Export/Render Video There's no FLV option. I've looked high and low for this "FLV QuickTime encoder"
This issue was briefly touched on here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1534685#1534685
but without any real resolution, seems the only solution is to have had Flash CS3 previously installed and you would have had the encoder already. But Flash CS4 doesn't seem to install this encoder anymore.?
Adobe Photoshop help file says this:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WSB8B861CE-EBFB-4941-8587-A7572FA2EF69a.html
QuickTime export file formats
Flash Video (FLV)
Adobe® Flash® Video is the Adobe format for streaming audio and video over the web and other networks. (To use this format, you must first install an FLV QuickTime encoder).
Is there some way/place to download this encoder so that this option will be enabled in Photoshop.
I know I can just export as a .MOV file then convert it later in Media Encoder, but why tell me about an option, and then not give us the encoder to use the option.

No, I don't think you can download any CoDec pack containing the proper extension for legal reasons. If memory serves, the respective QTX file was part of 1 or 2 QT installers way back then, and then, probably due to intervention from Adobe, no longer. However, I think you could still install it via the automated CoDec updates for a while after that.... Well, in any case, it's probably moot. To solve your dilemma (and for sure this will be the "proper" future way of doing things), just download the Flash Catalyst public Beta from Adobe Labs. This should allow you to get the best of both worlds.

Problems upgrading to iTunes 7 and QuickTime

I had an older version of iTunes and then wanted to upgrade to the latest version.
So i downloaded it and installed it and then when trying to open it it complained that my quicktime version is too old so I went out downloaded it from the itunes site.
then when trying to install it I get this message:
"A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. The installation can not proceed as long as the newer QuickTime-version is installed" then when clicking OK in the dialog box the installation stops.
I have tried to Remove iTunes and Quicktime and I have been into Regedit and removed all Quicktime entries I have found, which is a jungle and I am sure that it is hidden somewhere....
As a matter of fact I have even used regedit cleaning software and erased all that was found and still it wont install the newer QuickTime....
This has now become a even bigger problem as also Flash 8 video encoder is dependent on Quicktime so how can I solve this annoying and very hard-to-solve problem?
I don't want to reinstall my entire PC.... but I'm coming closer and closer to that decision...
Does anyone in the entire world know how to solve this without reinstall the entire PC?

As a rule I would never go into regedit and manually delete keys and anyone who suggests this is giving potentially dangerous advice.
First try uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime from Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs.
You don't say the name of the regedit cleaning software you used.
So if you haven't already, go to the Microsoft web site (below) and download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Install it, and run it. Quicktime and iTunes will probably still be in the list. Uninstall Quicktime and iTunes with it again.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
Download iTunes from apple.com and try installing it (Quicktime is bundled with it).
You might still have problems installing because of QuickTime registry key access errors. If that happens, go to the link below, scroll about half way down and follow the steps carefully to change Owner and Permissions on each key that fails due to access denied errors.

Serious CS5+6 Audio out of sync on MP4 and Quicktime HD (AC3/AAC) export problem

Hello,
while exporting our video files and importing them into our projects to check the sync we noticed that if we export in MP4 1080p H264 format the audio is 1/2 video frame out of sync compared to the original. This happens with both original audio files attached to the original clip as well as other random audio files combined with the clip.
If we export the WAV file and import it again into the original timeline this is 100% in sync, but if we export that clip with the imported WAV file it's again out of sync.
please check the pic:
as you can see the "edit_1080p_1.mp4" files is the exported and re-imported clip, which is 100% synced to the video (from timecode 0:00:00:00) and the our of sync is about half a video frame.
This also seems to happen in CS5 as we just have tested on another old system.
Addon: It also happens with Quicktime HD Export.
If exported in AVI there is no out-of-sync, so this problem seems only to be on Dolby Digital and AAC encoded and multiplexed files.
As we found out if exporting clips with any CS5 or CS6 Version in mutiplexed AC3 format eveytime after re-importing those files back into Premiere the audio is about 1/2 videoframe delayed! So this means if you work with multiple temporary exported files, e.g. MP4 HD HQ formats your audio gets more and more out of sync.
But we also found out that if you simply convert WAV to AC3 there is also a slight delay on the AC3 file, although not noticeable on the first view, but if you switch to audio frames view it's about 1/10 frame.
I think this is a very serious error and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Nachricht geändert durch pinklemos

And another, even worse, update:
we did several tests with just converting the H264/PCM multiplexed file to different format, MPEG2/MP2, MPEG2/AC3, MP4/AAC (both CS6 and CS5) and we just encoded the file with Procoder in H264/AAC (orange colored). And the result was, that ALL Adobe encoded files are not correctly synced to the original but the Procoder file is! Even with CS5 this was already not working.
I am shocked, that nobody really seems to have noticed that elemental error until now...
So the only working workflow at the moment is to export all files into Quicktime H264/PCM format and then user other encoders to create the final files needed, if they need to have compressed audio formats like MP2, ACC or AC3.

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank you

Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

ITunes and Quicktime will not launch

I cannot get my iTunes or Quicktime to launch. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and tried several fixes that I found on this discussion board. No Luck! I'm using XP Pro SP3. When I first installed iTunes, it worked, but then quit working about 4 weeks later. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and Quicktime.

The error message you are getting suggests that you do have one of the problem codec packs installed on your system or you have had in the past.
Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 directory.
It is possible that one of them was installed without you knowing with other software, I think Storm may get installed with other things although I can't name anything.
You must look for the things on my list and uninstall them if you find them. Check in Add/Remove programs to see if there is an entry there.
When you have uninstalled the problem items go on to the next stage. If you can't find anything you had better go on as well.
Download the stand alone Quicktime (the one without iTunes):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

ITunes and QuickTime will not work..Yeah, another one

Despite my best efforts to try to solve my problem on my own and not both you kind people, I've been working on and off at trying to get my iTunes working, with no positive results at all. It's honestly been so long, I don't recall what might have sparked the issues, but every time I try to open iTunes or QuickTime they will begin to open but fail, bringing up the common windows error message:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
So far, I have totally deleted both iTunes and QuickTime twice from my computer- first just through Add/Remove Programs pathways, then more in depth with Registry Crawler to try to remove any traces of the programs- all before re-installing the two programs. Both times have failed, still leaving me unable to open either program, so I've broken down and come here- hoping to find anyone willing to lend a hand to help fix this issue so that I can finally listen to my music the way I used to.

Perfect information, thanks.
That combination is almost always caused by some application stashing old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects, although some Games might do it too.)
Let's go looking for the old stuff.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

ITunes and QuickTime will not open

I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 and the installation went fine. However, when I try to open iTunes by double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page pops up for less than a second and then goes away. I think the page might have something to do with a license agreement. I get no error messages. I also tried to open QuickTime to see if it works, but it does not. When I try double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page (different than the one that pops up for iTunes) comes up for less than a second. No error messages for QuickTime come up either. What can I do to get my iTunes and QuickTime to work?
