Need urgent help with exporting movie

I have a simple 7-minute project on FCP 7 that consists of still images from the internet and hand drawn images with a few animated elements.
It has only one audio track and two video tracks. I am using PAL DV size format. I am in the UK.
I exported it using quicktime conversion with H264 compression and good quality and the final file size was 125MB.
My urgent problem is that I need to upload this file to a university website for an online course in two days, and their file size limit is 50 MB.
I need to make sure that the teacher can play the file, and I need to get it down to a smaller file size for uploading.
I have tried all sorts of exporting from FCP. I tried avi, m4v (the setting said ipod and it produced the m4v file), and quicktime mov at different sizes like 1/4vga size. The best file size was 29 mb for the m4v ipod export, and 98mb for the qt mov file exported at medium quality. The avi file grew to 1.2gb!
I don't know if the m4v file is playable on the system that the teacher uses (she is on a windows computer).
Can anyone please give me some specific advice on how to create a smaller video file that is more universally compatible?
I have access to all of the FCP 7 suite and the Adobe CS6 suite which includes Premiere Pro, Prelude and Adobe Media encoder, if that helps.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Hi Luis
The advice you've been given is good for helping you to get a good quality video at a reasonable file size.
But it may be worth thinking more about which format will certainly play on your teacher's PC.  The most likely player on any PC is Windows Media Player, which tens to be installed by default.
The most likely video to be viewed on a PC is one from YouTube...  andH.264 is supported on all "modern" PCs.  QuickTime Player is free and very available.
A disadvantage for Mac users is that yoou'll ned the Flip4Mac plugin to create WMV movies.  I think the cheapest paid version of Flip4Mac costs around £30. 
All you need on a Mac fis the free Flip4Mac player.
If you get that, and choose the web high I quality setting, you should have a file within 50MB that plays reliably and looks OK.  (A cheaper way of doing this, if you have access to a PC, is to use the free Windows Media Encoder).
Best of luck

  • Need urgent help with HSDIO hardware timing

    Hi everyone,
    I need urgent help regarding HSDIO hardware timing. I've been working in a project which generating serial ramp using HSDIO pxie device. 
    I'm using clock rate 40MHz and generating 14 bit of boolean for each step of ramp. And I have to generate simply 256 steps ramp.
    Which means, 256 (steps) x 14 (boolean array) x 25 ns (period of 1 boolean value) = 89,6 ns.
    What I'm doing right now is with using index of FOR loop as my input data (converting the index into 14bit boolean), then write into pxie device in every iteration,
    which means, my data is getting into output in every 1ms time, right? (I'm using windows)
    And I want to be able to generate faster than that. 
    How can I prewrite my 256 steps ramp, then write them all at once into pxie device. I'm really stuck here.
    In the picture can you see how I do the write into device in every iteration of FOR Loop.
    Regards,
    Yan.

    hi, thanks for responding.
    with using example of dynamic generation with script, I can manage to generate the ramp with controllable delay (generate the whole waveform, including delay with script command, then write to the card).
    But I still have 1 question, I can test the output of the generation using oscilloscope and cant see the start delay (I'm writing delay at the start, before generating the ramp). My signal generated at 0 sec.
    How can I check this start delay? is there any good example delivered with Labview to check this generation? Somehow I cant use the "dynamic generation and acquisition" example to see my generation (cant figure out how to capture the generated signal).
    regards,
    Yan.

  • Need urgent help with Ifs1.1 on Solaris

    We have installed IFS 1.1 with Oracle 8.1.7 on a three tier System (two Suns). We use JWS as WebServer. When we start IFS and JWS everything seems to work fine. But after some time (irregulary) we are not able to contact the JSP-Sites via a bowser. After restarting JWS, everything works fine for some time.
    Sometimes it happens (about one times a day), that the whole JWS crashes (JWS-Admin doesn't work). So we have to restart the whole IFS.
    What can be the problem? We need urgent help, because the deadline for our project is Wednesday.
    By the way:
    Where do I have to start CTX on the IFS- or the Oracle-Side?
    null

    Yes, we tried the Oracle HTTP - Server, but we weren4t able to get it to work. We didn4t get our JSP-Files to work with it. But that is another issue. I think it4s not a problem of JWS, but IFS.
    Additionally it is strange, that we are still able to connect to the database via SqlPlus.
    IFS works fine for about 15 minutes, than it crashes, nothing works anymore. We found following errors in the IfsAgents.log:
    maybe it can help?!

    So just create a new database. That will take all of ten minutes. And tell your students to create new tablespaces. That will take them two minutes.

  • Need urgent help with communicating with the HP 4155B analyser with Labview

    i folks,
    I'm currently trying to communicate with our HP 4155B semiconductor pamaremter analyser.  I do not have experience with GPIB yet. I have installed the NI VISA.
    I was wondering if anyone could help with getting me started on how to start communicating with the device using Labview.
    I'm not certain where to start.
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for the help. I now have communication with the instrument.
    I was wondering if it's possible to to setup a data measurement (I-V Sweep) and be able to read the measurement data in realtime as it is being measured. So I basically see the graph updating itself on the PC during the measurement.
    Is this possible? Could anyone give advice on how I can go about this or are there any examples that can help me understand how to do this?
    I'm not completely sure how to initialise the instruemnt for communication and handle VISA WRITEs and READs. within LabView

  • Need some Help with exporting as a .PDF !

    I have been trying to Export / Save As in Photoshop an image as a PDF. Whenever it is exported my image is about half the size as it used to be.
    I am exporting from Photoshop a CMYK image that is 1500 X 1050 and it downsizes it to about 360 x 252. I choose PDF in the Save As and Press Quality. I also made sure that it wasn't downsampling to a lower DPI. I used "Do Not Downsample".

I am using Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and a Macbook OS 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard and have just recently updated my computer. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening I would love your feedback as I have been frustratingly working on this the past 4 hours. Thank you!!!

  • Need urgent help with RAID failure on Graphics server (running OSX10)

    Hey.
    Here's the deal... Our graphics department has a MAC G4 (fully upgraded. newest patches, OS, etc.) that's got a 4 port SATA RAID controller. They use this with four 750GB hard drives as an external RAID (the OS is on a seperate, 65GB hard drive). The way it's set up, through Apple's OS, is we have the four 750GBs in pairs... those pairs are striped, and then the two sets of striped 750s are mirrored. This has worked just fine for a number of months, but we recently had a power surge, and now we're unable to mount "Monkey" (the name of the 1.4TB array).
    See the below screenshots for more clarification.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/raidsetup.JPG
    This shows the RAID card, and the four SATA cables coming out of it.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside1.JPG
    As you can see in this and the below screenshots, this shows the 1.4TB Striped set as 'online', but the two below (the two 750GB hard drives) show up as "offline".
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside2.JPG
    this shows the actual drive i click on. same thing
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside3a.JPG
    If i click the entire array, you can see how it's set up (the Mirrored RAID set consisting of the two Striped RAID sets). The RAID sets (all 3 of them) are showing up as online, yet the drives are offline. No idea why. The drives are all powered, and are spinning, and plugged in.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside3b.JPG
    when you click "Monkey Drive", nothing shows up in it. i don't remember if anything ever used to. if you click 'mount', nothing happens.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside4.JPG
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside5.JPG
    this shows the exact same problem as the first RAID set.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/verifyRAIDset1.JPG
    If you try to Verify the RAID set, it shows that no repairs are necessary
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/verifymonkey.JPG
    If you try to verify Monkey, you get a "Volume Needs Repair" error... but when you try to repair it, you get this:
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/repairmonkey.JPG
    Really need help; this is a pretty critical problem. Someone that's familar with RAID solutions on MACs please help me out. We can't risk losing any data if at all possible.

  • Need Urgent Help With Getting Intl Service from Bangkok

    Before I arrived in Bangkok, I spoke with Verizon CS from the US because I needed Intl Service on my Iphone 4. My boyfriend has an Iphone 5 and was able to add a calling plan in 5 minutes of calling Verizon CS. I then called Verizon CS, and was told that my Iphone 4 cannot be used in Thailand. I told the CS Rep that my boyfriend just added the service on his Iphone 5, and did the same on a trip to Thailand last year with an Iphone 4. She told me that with an Iphone 5 he also cannot use the service in Thailand without a Sim Card or Global Phone? I then put him on the phone with her, and they spoke for ten minutes about this before my plane departed.
    I have been in Bangkok since 04MAR14 trying to reach Verizon by web, Instant Chat, phone, and even called Verizon 611 from my boyfriend's handset. he call Failed! He then gave me this number to call Verizon Global Support: 908-559-4899. I have called this number numerous times from the hotel. The recording does not recognize when I "Press 1" or "Press 2", and proceeded to hang up on me several times. Is there no human at Verizon that help me????? I have spent approx 3 hours now trying to contact Verizon since 04MAR14. I am supposed to be enjoying my vacation here. Can someone please address these questions immediately?
    1. Am I currently being charged to use WIFI in Thailand?
    2. I transited Tokyo on 03MAR, and tried to call Verizon Support from my Handset, which Failed. Am I being charged for that?
    3. What message do my contacts receive when they text me in the US?
    4. Can I activate message response to contacts in the US now telling them that I am out of the country until the evening of 11MAR14?
    Please help me, I am extremely frustrated, as I desparately want Phone service here in Thailand, and I am transiting back to Tokyo on 10MAR14, arriving there at 245pm, and I will need Phone service there as well.
    Sincerely,
    Nancy

        I'm so sorry you haven't been able to get any service while traveling NancyStuckInThaiWithNoService, as well as for not being able to get a hold of anyone to assist you. I'm happy to answer your questions here. As you mentioned, the iPhone 4 is not a Global phone. Therefore, you can only use on a CDMA network, (not GSM). Thailand is GSM/Global, Japan/Tokyo is CDMA; therefore, you can use phone there. (It could be settings were not set correctly to use in Tokyo.
    1. If you're using WiFi, there is no charge. Its best to turn Mobile Data off in Settings to avoid any International charges.
    2. Japan/Tokyo calls are $1.99/minute. However, if trying to reach Global Support, you will not be charged.
    3. Your contacts don't receive any notification when they text you. They may get some alert days later, that the message was not received by you/ or it has been timed out, but it won't say why.
    4. If you're able to use another phone, and call your mobile number, you can press # when you hear your voice mail greeting, enter password, then # again, to change personal greeting. You're able to update greeting with notification that you're traveling.
    ** When back in Tokyo, you can go to Settings & make sure Airplane Mode is OFF. Also, you can go to General, (from Settings),> Network> Cellular Data- ON> Data Roaming- ON.***
    Here are rates while in Japan/Tokyo http://vz.to/18TRKVE
    Lastly, it may be easier to reach us on Facebook at Verizon Wireless, or on Twitter at @VZWSupport

  • Need urgent help with service and file removal

    Hi,
    I need a powershell script that would stop a windows service ,wait for 2 mins, delete a particular file from C:\documents&settings and then start the service again.Is this possible ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply chen. May be i was not clear in my query
    I plan this because a particular file of configmgr is corrupt on workstations. So the service has to be stopped first before the deletion. I need to run this on many computers remotely. The import file will have the machines that need the script to be run.
    The script has to run all the four steps on the machines based on the import file and export to a file with the results.How can i modify ?
    The sequence will be as follows
    Stop-Service -Name BITS -Verbose
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 120
    Remove-Item -Path C:\documents&settings\***** -Force -Verbose
    Start-Service -Name BITS -Verbose
    Regards

  • Need urgent help with creating .war file ...

    My boss gave me one day to create an app. that runs on Apache Tomcat 4.0.6. I managed to get it done, but now I'm trying to move it from my machine to the web server. Each time I try to create a .war file I get an error saying "no such file or directory". Am I missing a step here??
    What I do is: go to the webapps/<appname> directory where the app. is located, type in jar cvf * path/to/application/appname.war.
    I then get the "no such file..." message, then a message that says "added manifest" then lines on the screen that say adding: blah blah file. It goes through all the files in my app directory but I get no resulting .war file.
    I'm so frustrated and confused at this point, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    path/to/application/appname.war. No need to create an intermediate zip file, or to use JDeveloper to create a simple war file.
    You just need to put the WAR name before the list of files.

  • Need urgent help with CS4 button-to-animation functionality

    Problem: I´m making a site who presenting about 11
    «puppets» for a ventriloquist. They are placed across a
    stage, and will pop up and glow when the mouse goes over. when you
    mouse-click on the puppets, it should trigger a animation who blows
    up and move the puppet, and slide some text in from the left. The
    mouse over function is working, but I don´t get the animations
    to function as it should. Any help would be appreciated. You can
    download the .fla file from here:
    download
    here It´s about 36 MB in size. It´s divided into 4
    scene´s, and the «problem» is in Scene_4. The
    action-script is in the top layer, and except stop commands, most
    of the coding is in frame 2. Update: I have attached the code I
    have used (in frame 2) to start the different animations. CAN PAY
    SOME FOR HELP.

    You'll be more likely to get some help if you attach the code
    that is giving you problems. Aside from the high probability of
    there being little desire to download a 36 MB file, having to sort
    thru it to figure out what code applies to what works against
    anyone wanting to try to help you with this--though you may get
    lucky.

  • Need urgent help with LayerManager (easy example)

    Im trying to get a scrolling effect by moving the view window.
    THE PROBLEM IS that if I move the view vindow the Sprite (spriteTest) is displayed at the new position AND still at the old position. I don't want it to be displayed on the old position. So if I move it a pixel every 5 ms I get a trail of the Sprite. Why does it happen??? (clueless)
    Here is the code...
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.GameCanvas;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.LayerManager;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.Sprite;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.Image;
    public class Game extends GameCanvas implements Runnable
        private Thread t; //the thread running the game
        private Midlet midlet; //the midlet
        private int DISP_WIDTH; //the width of the display
        private int DISP_HEIGHT; //the height of the display
        private int xpositionView, ypositionView; //the x and y coordinates of the view window (used for scrolling)
        private LayerManager world; //the layermanager in which all sprites are added
        private Sprite spriteTest; //a Sprite with an image looking like a goomba from super mario
        /** Creates a new instance of Game */

           this.midlet = midlet;
           xpositionView = 1;

           DISP_HEIGHT = getHeight();
           world = new LayerManager();
           world.setViewWindow(xpositionView, ypositionView, DISP_WIDTH, DISP_HEIGHT);
           try
                spriteTest = new Sprite(Image.createImage("/images/goomba.png")); //creates the sprite containing an image (no frames only 1 picture)
           catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println("Couldn't load sprite image!");
           spriteTest.setPosition(190, 30); //sets the position of the sprite
           world.append(spriteTest);      //appends the sprite to the LayerManager
        /* The game loop */
        public void run()
            Graphics g = getGraphics();
            while(true)
                move();
                render(g);
                try
                    t.sleep(5); //sleeps for 5 ms
                catch (InterruptedException ie)
        /* Moves the view window to the right*/
        private void move()

  • Need urgent help with a new Z program please

    I have to write a program that finds files matching some pattern, for example I have files test1,test2,test3 in a directory then if I pass test* as parameter it should find all the files i.e, test1,2,3. I have to then store the files in internal table, loop through it and have to call some other program zzz that has a selection screen with default parameters.
    1) Is there any function that I can call that gives all the files by passing wild card (ex:test*) and store the files in internal table?
    2) How do I call some other program ZZZ from my program?
    3) How do I pass values from my program to other program's selection screen?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

                    DIRECTORY = 'C:\'
                    FILTER    = 'test.*'
                    files_only = 'X'
                changing
                    FILE_TABLE = file_table[]
                    count      = count.
    loop at file_table into wa_file.
      write: / wa_file-filename.
    endloop.
    2) You can use SUBMIT statement to call another program..
    3) In the SUBMIT statement you can use the WITH addition to pass the values to the program.

  • Need Urgent Help with Servlets!!!

    I was just assigned a java project few days back and the thing is that i noe nuts abt JAVA!!! My first time and i admit i'm a slow learner.
    I was tasked to develop a servlet for web based query of inventory status in FIFO storage from QIS database.
    Basically, i heard according to my supervisor that this is a very simple project that may be completed in just days..but as i said this is my first Java program and i really need u guys to help me!!!! I have no idea how to start the entire coding process.
    The main page where the option buttons are is actually a form. This program have a HTTP extension i think. Below i have indicate the System and User Requirements.
    System Requirements
    * A Servlet
    * 2 option buttons
    * 1 for retrieving a Summarised Report
    * 1 for retriveving an Detailed Report
    * 1 command button for retrieval of data
    * Retrieved data will be displayed on another frame
    User Requirements
    * Be able to view Summarised Report at a click of a mouse
    * Be able to view Detailed Report also at a click of a mouse
    PLS HELP!!!!!!!!

    Justa comment...
    << according to my supervisor that this is a very simple project that may be completed in just days
    If your supervisor is so confident, then, maybe he/she should just get it done himself/herself. I really mean it. However, if that does happen, he/she should provide post-implementation support himslef/herself.
    In the meanwhile you can continue thinking about doing it the right way. Which is to first get some grasp of sorts about the various Java and other technologies and concepts you are talking about. Then have some kind of plan and follow it.
    I think at the end both you, and more importantly, your supervisor would see the difference in the result with respect to quality of work.
    Forums such as these provide an excellent wealth of information mostly because they are a means to consolidate knowledge gained by individuals from their past experience.
    However, in my opinion, it would be wrong to expect that one would be able to design and implement a real-life application just from information gathered from such forums. An example problem if you do it that way is: who will provide guaranteed support if something does not work in your real-life application. Your supervisor ?
    Instead, do the study part systematicaly. Try to convince your supervisor that thats the way to do it. Then do it. And come back with specific problems you might have.
    Best luck.
