Problems with large frame uncompressed AVI files in QT 7 player

I have just recently gone from QT Pro 6.5.2 to QT Pro 7, mainly because of the HD support.
I have a dual boot system with QT 7 on Windows 2000, and QT 6 on Windows 98SE.
I am having problems playing uncompressed AVI files in the QT 7 player, apparently if the frame size is large (in the example case 688 x 516).
Sometimes I just get "error 108 unknown error" pop up when I try to load the file. Sometimes the file loads but will not play except in short bursts of movement every now and again as it moves along the timeline. Sometimes the file plays, but with one or more broad black lines across the image!
All the problem files play perfectly in QT 6.5.2, but will not play in QT 7, which should surely play them better, not worse!
Can anyone make any suggestion as to what's happening?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled QT 7, which made no difference. I'm sure I don't need any extra codecs, as QT has always played RAW AVIs without anything extra before.
Thanks in anticipation, Dave.

  • Problem with 8-bit uncompressed quicktime file

    I have exported my FCP video using the 8-bit uncompressed setting considering I initially captured the content uncompressed via a Blackmagic Decklink card. The problem is, regardless of the settings I have chosen for the uncompressed export, the quicktime file always has horizontal lines going across it when I watch it.
    It almost seems like this could be an interlace issue, but I don't really know why that would be the case. I imported from DigiBeta that had telecined 16mm footage on it, but the footage should be at 29.97 when it is imported. I'm sure I'm an idiot and there's a simple answer to this, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
    Thanks.

    If the exported movie plays fine in FCP and but not in the QT player, I would assume everything is okay and it's just the QT player. A couple of tests you can try:
    1. Make sure the Quicktime player is set to actual size in the view menu.
    2. Open up the movie properties in QT player. I have version 7 and can do this by going to the window menu, then show movie properties. If I select the video track and then the visual settings tab, there is a high quality preference checked. If I have it checked, I can see visual lines in the credits of an DV movie I have. if I have it unchecked, the horizontal lines dissapear. There are other settings there that affect the playout of the film, but shouldn't affect your final format.
    QuickTime Player is probably showing you the highest quality of image and taking an interlaced video and playing it progressive on your computer monitor.
    If you are going back to tape, you'll be using FCP to go back out to tape and shouldn't have those line issues.
    If you are compressing for DVD, you shouldn't have those issues.
    If you find a more detailed explanation for this, post back so I can know it.

  • Is it possible to export uncompressed .avi files over 4 gigabytes?

    I want to export my 70+ min movie as one uncompressed .avi - file with FCP
    but it turns out only 4 gigabytes of data (35-50 seconds) are visible in the exported clip. The rest is black.
    How do I get around this problem?

    The drive is mac standard (not FAT32) and I have checked + confirmed that the drive can take files larger than 4 gigabytes.
    The .avi file I export IS the right size (200+ gigabytes).
    Even though the audio and video doesn't show up after a certain point.
    I use Quicktime conversion - avi (compressor : none, quality: best) etc.
    I've tried saving with and without sound (48khz 16bit uncompressed)
    When I save without sound, the exported file contained a little bit more video data (a few more seconds)
    which supports my 4 gig limit theory.
    I just want to export the movie in it's uncompressed state
    for editing on a PC (premiere cs4)

  • Converting uncompressed AVI files for FCP?

    I recently had 30 reels of old 8mm film footage from the 50's and 60's converted to digital and I now have a hard drive with all of the footage converted to uncompressed AVI files.  These are extremley large files as one 2 minute and 38 second clip is 4.45 gigs. 
    I want to bring them into Final Cut Pro to edit them but retain as much quality and picture as I can.  I am going to use Mpeg Streamclip to convert the AVI files to quicktime Mov. files but what compression setting and frame size should I use when converting them to Mov. files for best results?  As far as frame size, should I use 648 X 486 4:3 aspect ratio or 720 X 486 unscaled?
    Thanks in advance for any advice. 

    Given the material, standard ProRes or even ProRes LT (if you have FCP v7) is fine.
    ProRes HQ is intended for 35mm film out and/or 2k video. It is a waste of file space and processing overhead for your purposes.

  • Can't import uncompressed AVI files in CS6 Premiere Pro

    Hi!

  • Problems with large scanned images

    I have been giving Aperture another try since 1.1 came out, and I am still having problems with large tiff files derived from scanned 4x5 negatives. The files are 500mb or more, 16 bit RGB, with ProPhoto RGB or Ektaspace PS5 profiles, directly out of the scanner.
    Aperture imports the files correctly, and shows their thumbnails. When I select a thumbnail "Loading" is displayed briefly, and the the dreaded "Unsupported Image Format" is displayed. Sometimes "Loading" goes on for a while, and a geometric pattern (looking like a rendering of random memory) is displayed. Restarting Aperture doesn't help.
    Lower resolution (250mb, 16bit) files are handled properly. The scans are from an Epson 4870 scanner. I have tried pulling the scans into Photoshop and resaving with various tiff options, and as PSD with no improvement. I have the same problem with corrected/modified psd files coming out of Photoshop CS2.
    I am running on a Power Mac G5 dual 2ghz with 8gb of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL (250mb) video card, with all the latest OS and software updates.
    Has anyone else had similar problems? More importantly, is anyone else able to work with 500mb files of any kind? Is it my system, or is it the software? I sent feedback to Apple as well.
    dual g5 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have a few (well actually about 100) scans on my system of >500Mb. I tried loading a few and am getting an inconsistent pattern of errors that correlates with what you are reporting.
    I imported 4 files and three were troubled, the fouth was OK. I imported another four files and the first one was OK and the three others had your reported error, also the previously good file from the first import was now showing the same 'unsupported' image' message.
    I would venture to say that if you shoot primarily 4x5 and work with scans of this size that Aperture is not the program for you--right now. I shoot 35mm and have a few images that I have scanned at 8000dpi on my Imacon 848 but most of my files are in the more reasonable 250Mb range (35mm @ 5000dpi).
    I will probably downsample my 8000dpi scans to 5000dpi and not worry to much about it. In a world where people believe that 16 megapixels is hi-res you are obviously on the extreme side.(Good for you!) You should definately file a bug report but I wouldn't expect much help anytime soon for your super-sized scans.

  • RESOLVED - K8N Neo2 Platinum problem with large Seagate disk

    Hi All,
    I've been running this system for 4 years and I'm very happy with it. But I've run into a problem:
    I'm trying to exchange my 120 GB Seagate Barracuda systemdisk with a 500 GB Barracuda and I can't install XP with SP2.
    First I tried to clone the old HD with Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image. The cloning looked fine but after taking the old HD out and moving the new one to P-ATA 1 as Primary Master I get an "error - no operating system found". I also tried a fresh install from CD. After the CD reboots the system I get the same error.
    The HD is present in BIOS with the right parameters and all is looking well - but still no go.
    I've fiddled around in BIOS (vers. 1.3) with the different settings (LBA, Large, Auto, Csh.) The last 2 options gives the "no operating system" error and the first 2 gives a "disk error" although Seagate says that I should change settings to "LBA".
    I only have the new HD in the machine. I also tried fixboot and fixmbr. I can see all the installed files when I put it in as a slave.
    So my question is:
    Does the K8N Neo2 Platinum have a problem with large hd's as system disk?
    Or is this a Seagate or Windows problem ?
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Mads

    Actually that was the first thing I did just to see if the drive worked :-) - except that I had it as master on the second ide cable. It formats like it should and all partitions report "healthy". The only difference is that the new drives c-partition is set as active (can't find a way to change it back)  - while the old one is set as system. Could this make a difference ?
    Since neither cloning nor a fresh install works I think the problem is something else. Maybe I should try Seatools and see if that makes any difference.
    Thank's all for help so far! - Other suggestions ?

  • Out.println() problems with large amount of data in jsp page

    I have this kind of code in my jsp page:
    out.clearBuffer();
    out.println(myText); // size of myText is about 300 kbThe problem is that I manage to print the whole text only sometimes. Very often happens such that the receiving page gets only the first 40 kb and then the printing stops.
    I have made such tests that I split the myText to smaller parts and out.print() them one by one:
    Vector texts = splitTextToSmallerParts(myText);
    for(int i = 0; i < texts.size(); i++) {
      out.print(text.get(i));
      out.flush();
    }This produces the same kind of result. Sometimes all parts are printed but mostly only the first parts.
    I have tried to increase the buffer size but neither that makes the printing reliable. Also I have tried with autoFlush="false" so that I flush before the buffer size gets overflowed; again same result, sometimes works sometimes don't.
    Originally I use such a system where Visual Basic in Excel calls a jsp page. However, I don't think that this matters since the same problems occur if I use a browser.
    If anyone knows something about problems with large jsp pages, I would appreciate that.

    Well, there are many ways you could do this, but it depends on what you are looking for.
    For instance, generating an Excel Spreadsheet could be quite easy:
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class TableTest extends HttpServlet{
         public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException {
              response.setContentType("application/xls");
              PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(response.getOutputStream());
                    out.println("Col1\tCol2\tCol3\tCol4");
                    out.println("1\t2\t3\t4");
                    out.println("3\t1\t5\t7");
                    out.println("2\t9\t3\t3");
              out.flush();
              out.close();
    }Just try this simple code, it works just fine... I used the same approach to generate a report of 30000 rows and 40 cols (more or less 5MB), so it should do the job for you.

  • Problems with dropped frames in FCP 4.5 Log & Capture

    Thanks for the advice on my previous post regarding sound problems - those are now sorted, but I am having problems with dropped frames in Log and Capture. I am using FCP 4.5 with OS X 10.4.10 on a Powermac G4. CPU 867 mhz dual processor. L2 Cache 256 kb, L3 cache 1 mb. Memory 1g. Bus speed 133hz. I am capturing from a Canon XM1 via Firewire. The scratch disk is a 500gb Seagate FreeAgent USB 2.0, 7200rpm.
    Basically, the video and audio are fine while playing back in Log and Capture and I can control the device, but any attempt to capture, whether Capture Now or Clip result in a very jerky picture and aborts with dropped frames after a few seconds. The sound is ok for the few seconds before it aborts. There do not appear to be any problems with the timecode.
    My capture preset is DV Pal 48hz.
    Any advice or pointers gratefully received.
    Thanks, Ally

    Well quite. I have just tried it in the internal hard drive and it works fine now. I am going to have to capture everything to my small hard drive and move it across to the external. Then, when I have finished I am going to bang my head against the wall and buy an external HDD with Firewire.
    Thanks,
    Ally

  • Problems with multiple idocs in one file ( Inbound file )

    HI,
    Thanks in Advance for your suggestions.. Highly appreciated.
    We have problems with multiple IDocs in one file.
    We are using XIB ( Amtrix ) as Middleware to receive the files.
    Curretenly When the file contains one IDoc then there is no problem. IDoc is created and everything is ok.
    If file contains two IDocs ( for example two messages ORDERS and DELVERY ) then it is creating two IDocs but both IDocs contains ORDERS plus DELIVERY segements information. That is the problem. Some how SAP unable to differentiate the IDocs in the file.. But it knows that how many idocs are there in the file..because it is creating exact number of idocs.
    We are using TRFC port ... Do I need to change it to File port..
    When we have more than one idoc do we need set any parameter in the file ...

    Thanks for the swift response. Always ideas are useful.
    As of now , Middleware cannot split the file.
    Thing is SAP is creating two Idocs with different message types. Problem is First IDoc contains ORDERS message type but also DELIVERY segments as well. Second IDoc with DELIVERY message tyoe but ORDERS segments as well... This is the problem... I think we are missing some field activation in file for EDIDC record.
    As far as I know file port supports the number of IDocs in one file.. Hope TRFC port also supports that

  • Strange problem with linking to external vob-file

    I have a strange problem with linking to external vob-file. I
    have created a link using BudApi:
    on mouseup
    set OK = baOpenFile ( the pathname &
    "Files\General\Video\VTS_01_1.VOB", "normal")
    end
    This code opens mpg-videos correctly, but nothing happens
    when I try to open vob-files with the same code. The strangest
    thing is that when I change the default program for vob-files to
    WinDVD this code works and the file opens, but when I change the
    default program to Nero Showtime this code doesn't do anything
    (when I open the file 'manually' from the folder, it opens
    correctly on Nero Showtime). My client uses Nero Showtime, so I
    really would appreciate any help on this one.

    If you open a command prompt, do you get an association
    listed like this
    example for .txt files:
    C:\>assoc .txt
    .txt=txtfile
    C:\>ftype txtfile
    txtfile="D:\Program Files\JGsoft\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe"
    "%1"

  • Problems with still frames blurring in Final Cut Express....

    I have had problems with still frames blurring. I've discovered it's related to the green line above the time line on the sequence bar. I can't find the name of the bar but it's red if you need rendering. There are green lines and when the scrubber hits the line the frame goes blurry.
    I'm guessing it's related to another previous attempt at adding motion to the still. My question, I think, is how to eliminate the green lines to the regular blue?
    jb

    If there are any colored bars above your video other than the normal grey/light blue then you need to render the sequence out by hitting Option-R.

  • Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

    I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
    called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
    prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
    I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
    getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
    using cffile.
    Does anyone know a work around for it?

    Hi,
    Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
    can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
    reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
    drivers...

  • Is anyone else having problems with large files, such as installation images, becoming corrupted when downloaded in Mavericks using Safari?

    I am finding that when I try to download a disk image file, such as Office 2011, it reads invalid checksum, is corrputed and will not install. I tried to download it several times and even unchecked in the Disk Utility Preference Pane to verify checksums. The way I solved the problem, was to go to my Windows Machine and download the image, put it on a USB flash drive and install it on my Mac from the stick. Not a proper solution, but it did work. Has anyone out there had this problem? This is applying to any large .dmg files not just Office 2011.

    I'm having exactly the same problem with the dmg file for Office 2011, tried downloading from my windows machine with no luck, still having the invalid checksum message.
