Workaround for using 1080/25p in FCE

I shot some video on my Panasonic AGHC 151E in 1080/25p not knowing it was not supported in FCE. What is the best workaround for converting this footage into a format I can use on FCE? I am planning on importing it into iMovie then exporting a MOV, Then importing that into FCE. Is there a better solution?

FCE can be made to work with 1080p25 media, assuming you're not mixing media. Make a 1080i sequence and in item, properties set the field dominance to none.
Do NOT use iMovie. Any export from iMovie will degrade your media.

Steps for using .wmv file in FCE

I have used FCE to edit files captured on my camera for a while now. But I was sent a DVD with an .wmv I would like to edit in FCE. I have never done this, and really need a very basic, step by step directions for how to convert this file for use in FCE. Please walk me through the conversion and import into FCE processes. Thank you in advance.

I agree - if all you need to do it access the file and convert it to something else, PlayerPro will be good. I have one of the higher versions (Studio), which has additional presets for saving content TO an WMV, but as you just need to convert FROM it, PlayerPro is all you need.
After installing, you'll be able to open the wmv in the QuickTime Player and export as a file that FCE edits natively. For example, is this a standard-def file? If so, then you'll want to export as a QuickTime Movie with the video settings set to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC". Then you can import it into FCE and it will treat the clip as if you had captured it from your camera.

Any workaround for using Excel 2000 in 2004s ???

Greetings.
1. We have Excel 2000 and Windows 2000 standardized in the company and not upgrading to the Windows XP/Vista in the immediate future.
2. Since the new 2004s BI tools do not support downloading to Excel 2000, we are looking for other options such as continue using 3.5 query designer. But from the 3.5 Query designer "Display Query on the web", Publish to Portal or Bex Broadcaster links not working or erroring out.
Greatly appreciate your tips and suggestions for this scenario.
Thanks.
PK

Hello PK,
Do not try to find a workaround to use excel 2000 with NW 2004s. This may not be useful as Excel 2000 is not supported by SAP for NW 2004s.
But you should be able continue using BW 3.5 tools. Please post the errors that you are getting so that members can help you.

Workaround for using Oracle JDBC extension with WLS pooling

Reading the newsgroup I saw that many of us encountered the problems
with ClassCastException when tried to use Oracle JDBC extension
with WLS pooling. I also had.
In this case BEA recommends to use dangerous
method getVendorConnection() which exposes
the physical connection object to your code.
Yes it's really dangerous because of unsafe usage may breaks
WLS pooled connection(s).
Moreover, this practice will make your JDBC code
unportable (your JDBC code in addition to Oracle dependence
became Weblogic dependent):
void doSmth() {
Connection con = ...;
Connection vCon = ((WLConnection)con).getVendorConnection();
// + mess of usage con in one places and vCon in others
// (where Oracle extensions are needed)
// !Don't forget to don't close vCon!
Sux.
I found the workaround.
Introduction
============
Yes the real cause of ClassCastException is that
in depth of Oracle driver the casting
to class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection
(not to interface oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection)
is performed.
Someone can say that this is bug or pure desing.
Weblogic pooled connection provide dynamic
implementation for all public interfaces
which real physical (wrapped) connection object implements.
Great feature!
But I guess that all interface methods implemented
by simple call-delegation to physical (wrapped) connection object.
In case of oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection interface
this approach doesn't work for at least one its method:
public OracleConnection unwrap()
WLS pooled connection shoudn't implement this method by
delegation to physical connection object BUT should
return physical connection object itself!
// Wrong implementation of unwrap()
// delegation is used
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return physicalConnection.unwrap();
// Right implementation of unwrap()
// physical connection returned
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return physicalConnection;
Workaround
==========
1. Develop your own OracleConnection wrapper class:
import oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection;
import weblogic.jdbc.extensions.WLConnection;
public class MyOracleConnectionImpl implements OracleConnection {
private OracleConnection con;
public MyOracleConnectionImpl(OracleConnection connection)
throws SQLException
this.con = connection;
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return (OracleConnection)
((WLConnection)con).getVendorConnection();
/* Implement all other methods by delegation to con object */
2. Don't get Connections directly from DataSource --
develop your own simple (may be static) utility
class which retrives Connections from dataSource
and returns them wrapped into your MyOracleConnectionImpl
to your code from some method:
puclic abstract class MyConnectionSource {
public static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = // get it from DataSource
return new MyOracleConnectionImpl((OracleConnection)con);
3. Add attribute RemoveInfectedConnectionsEnabled="false"
to definition of your JDBCConnectionPool within config.xml
You may do it because of you `safely` use vendorConnection --
you don't expose it to application code.
4. Enjoy the Oracle JDBC extensions in your code!
Example:
Connection con = MyConnectionSource.getConnection;
ArrayDescriptor add =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("your_type", con);
Hope it helps to someone.

Hello Eugene Voytitsky,
Thanks Eugene Voytitsky for your idea
I have tried the solution suggested by You, but it did not work.
It still throws ClassCastException.
I am sorry for posting the whole code of two classes below.
I did this to give you more clarity.
I am also indicating the place where the exception was thrown..
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Workaround for using the latest nightly SDK 4.0 builds with Flash Builder Beta 2

The latest builds of SDK 4.0 have been updated in preparation for including playerglobal.swc for Flash Player 10.1. Flash Builder Beta 2 can not find playerglobal.swc due to the addition of the {targetPlayerMinorVersion} variable found in the flex-config.xml file.
When using recent nightly SDKs with Flash Builder Beta 2, please modify them as follows:
1) Rename the folder <nightly sdk location>/frameworks/libs/player/10.0 to "10"
2) Edit the file <nightly sdk location>/frameworks/flex-config.xml and remove ".{targetPlayerMinorVersion}" and save
When you restart Flash Builder, we will now find a correct location for playerglobal.swc, allowing for code hints and many other features to work properly.

Best workaround for using Gmail to filter POP spam?

I have 3 POP email addresses and get hundreds of spam mails per day. Can't handle having to delete them manually on the iPhone. I tried setting my Gmail account to check my POP emails and setting up my iPhone with only my Gmail account. Now I get all my POP email without spam, but then I can only send using my Gmail address (which I never use and don't want to). Any suggestions for a workaround?

And the answer is… [according to David Pogue], columnist for the NY Times:
A Smarter Way to Fetch E-Mail
I know everybody's sick to death of hearing about Apple's latest i-product, so I promise not to even mention its name in this newsletter. But as I was trying to get my e-mail set up on that cellphone, I stumbled upon a delicious secret feature of Gmail, Google's fast, free, fantastic Web-based e-mail service. This is a trick that can help everyone, whether you have a cellphone or not.
One big drawback of the Mail program on Apple's phone is that it has no spam filter. That's not a big deal if your e-mail comes from AOL, Yahoo or Gmail, because those services have pretty good spam filters of their own. But if you have some other kind of account-like a standard POP account (provided by your cable company, for example), you may be overrun by junk mail.
I kept hearing from people who told me how they solved this problem: "Oh, I just forward my mail to Gmail," they say. "Then I set up my new phone to check my Gmail account instead of my regular address."
Well, all right; it's easy enough to make your e-mail program auto-forward incoming mail your Gmail address. But there's a huge problem with that setup: Now all of your messages appear to have come from you, the forwarder. If you hit Reply on your phone, the response doesn't go to the original sender; it goes right back to YOU! It gets sent back to your desktop computer (or whatever computer is doing the forwarding).
Clearly, that's no good. So I asked my tech guru, Brian Jepson, if there's any solution-and he told me about Gmail's new Mail Fetcher service. My problem was solved in five minutes.
In essence, this feature tells Gmail to fetch messages from your existing POP account, so that it all shows up at Gmail.com. Better yet, Mail Fetcher offers you the chance to have outgoing messages stamped with your regular e-mail address. In other words, Gmail.com becomes a free, invisible mail processing center, leaving no trace of its involvement. The people you correspond with will never know that their messages, or your responses, went anywhere but straight to your computer and back.
You can still check mail with Outlook, Mail, Entourage, or whatever program you're using now. But now you've solved the spam problem on your phone-and better yet, you can now check your regular POP e-mail-up to five accounts, in fact-at Gmail.com, from any computer in the world! Now, if all you want to do is keep in touch with e-mail while you're on vacation, you can leave your laptop at home.
Here's how you set up this free, no-downsides arrangement. Suppose that your real e-mail address is [email protected].
First, sign up for a free Gmail account at www.gmail.com.
Once your account is active, visit Gmail.com. Click Settings, then Accounts. Under "Get mail from other accounts," click "Add another email account." Fill the e-mail settings for your main address: name, password, mail server address.
If you like, you can also turn on "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server." That means that you'll also be able to check your mail from Outlook, Mail, or whatever e-mail program you use, just as you always have. The Gmail account will just be a backup, a secondary, Web-based way to do e-mail.
As you complete the setup process in Gmail, a message says: "You can now retrieve mail from this account. Would you also like to be able to send mail as [email protected]?"
Click "Yes, I want to be able to send mail as [email protected]."
In other words, when you reply, your main e-mail address, not Gmail's, will be the return address. It won't matter whether you send from Gmail.com or from your phone; it will all look like it came from Outlook, Mail, or whatever.
You can add up to five e-mail accounts this way, consolidating them all in one place-a very neat trick. Gmail seems to check for new messages about every five minutes, and there's also a "Check mail now" button.
I know this is all sounds much more technical than my usual writings; there's no way around it. The bottom line, though, is that Gmail's Mail Fetcher system solves a big problem for smartphone owners, and-by making your mail available on the Web-another big one for travelers. Nice.

Workaround for go connect to Server

Am looking for a workaround for using the go>connect to server command so that students won't see that school Administrator's computer is actually accessible. (yes, there's a password, but...)
Previously clients (OS 10.2) were bound to server (OS 10.3) but that caused lots of freezes while computers not busy between classes.
Tried logging in and creating an alias, but it was only valid for the account which created the alias.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: now if I enter the specifc IP address of the Windows system, it DOES find (thankfully!) my Windows system for file sharing.
Any advice? Why would this all of a sudden stop with the Browse feature? Thank you.

I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
2. Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly. There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

Problem Exporting for Web files created in FCE using Quicktime

I have been using FCE 4.01 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec. This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file. GRRRR!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Steve

Why not bring the exported AIC file back into MPEG Streamclip instead of QTX? You'll have a lot more control.
Compress the file to H.264 and restrict the data rate according to the resolution you're working with and to something consistent with the guidelines of the Web Service (say, You Tube) you're uploading to, (For example, something like 6 Mb per second would be about right for a 720P file.)
Or use Quicktime Conversion from FCE.
Good luck.

Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do.

No sorry. You need to upgrade to v10.5 Leopard (minimum) in order to sync an iPhone 4.
iPhone minimum requirements:
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later
iTunes Store account
Internet access
You can upgrade to Leopard if your Mac meets v10.5 requirements.

If your Mac is Intel, you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard if your Mac meets 10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications

Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
No.

Converting songs from itunes for use in FCE

I am a new mac user who switched from adobe premiere to FCE. I need to use some music from my itunes library in my FCE project. How do I convert itunes audio for use in FCE?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to FCE, so this might be useless. But I've found a trick (obtained from "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky) which is to render audio at Item Level. It allows you to render a piece of music to the same sampling level as another item.
It seems to work fine, but some of these guys who've used this more might know of problems when using it.
Import your song from the Music folder (or wherever you have them stored) and just go into the Sequence/Render All or Render Selection menus and check the "Item Level." The next time you render your audio, it should render to the same properties as existing items in your project.
At least, that's how I gather it works. This won't help with copy protected songs as the guys mentioned, but the majority of my songs are not from the iTunes store, so it's useful to me. Hope that helps!
