4 GB File Limit Question

I've digitised three clips into FCP. Clips are 1GB, 6GB and 13GB in size.
A freelance editor wants to transfer these files to his external drive so he can edit on his PC Avid. His drive is formatted as Fat 32. Am I out of options in transferring the two larger files because of the 4GB file size limit?
From the following link:
http://tinyurl.com/6q49vn
I understand that the editor will need to convert to a codec that his machine will be able to play. But short of having to divide the clips up manually or redigitize the clips in shorter durations, are there other options? He doesn't have a deck to redigitize the footage.
Thanks for the help.

Issue with that workflow...DVCPRO 50 Quicktime files captured via FCP will not work on a PC. Those codecs are only available to machines with FCP. So even if you can capture the files and get them to him in the native DVCPRO 50 format, he will not be able to see them. You'd need to transcode them into a format he could use.
What system does the editor use? YOU have the deck, why not loan it to him so that he can capture it on his system? Capturing footage in one NLE for use in another is unwise, and should always be avoided. because NLEs all have different ways to capture footage. QT, MXF, AVI, OMFI...

How to Open the FailedFilesLog.txt File (statement), and How to Increase the 100 File Limit (question)

It took us a while to figure this out, so I'm posting this in case it's helpful for someone out there. Plus, I have a question...
DPM gave the following error for one of our file servers:
Description: The replica of Volume D:\ on <servername> is inconsistent with the protected data source. Number of files skipped for synchronization due to errors has exceeded the maximum allowed limit of 100 files on this data
source (ID 32538 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FE)
Recommended action: Review the failure errors for individual files from the log file
\\?\Volume{8492c150-f195-11de-a186-001cc4ef89a0}\B1E9D373-2C03-464E-A472-99BC93DB1E2A\FailedFilesLog.txt and take appropriate action. If some files fail consistently, you can exclude the folders containing these files by modifying the protection group or
moving the files to another location.
So, how do you actually open the FailedFilesLog.txt file shown in this DPM alert? What is this path referring to? Well, this is the mount point for the protected server's replica volume on the DPM server, which is mounted under \Program
Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\servername\File System. Here you'll see the mount points for all of the server's protected volumes. However, if you try to open one of these mounted volumes
in Windows Explorer, you'll get Access Denied, even if you have administrator rights. (If someone knows of a way around this, please let me know). As a workaround, you can access this mounted volume in an elevated
command prompt. Steps:
Open an Administrator Command Prompt
Type mountvol <AnyAvailableDriveLetter>: \\?\Volume{VolumeGUID}
Example: mountvol m: \\?\Volume{8492c150-f195-11de-a186-001cc4ef89a0} Note that we're only using the first part of the path to the FailedFilesLog.txt
file given in the DPM alert, starting from \\? and ending after the
} character.
Next, type m: to change to the newly mounted m: drive.
Then type cd B1E9D373-2C03-464E-A472-99BC93DB1E2A This is actually a folder name so we're just going into this folder.
Finally type dir and you should see the FailedFilesLog.txt file. This file can be copied to another location where it's easier to use (i.e. in Windows Explorer).
Be sure to unmount this volume when you're done by typing mountvol m: /d in the command prompt. (Mountvol reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772586(WS.10).aspx.)
What a pain, eh? But at least by reviewing the FailedFilesLog.txt file you can determine which files or folders caused the sync to fail and thus take action accordingly.
Now, here's my question: Where is that registry key that lets me adjust the limit of 100 files that DPM allows to be skipped before it fails the replica? Hopefully someone out there will tell me. I know this can be done because Kapil Malhotra
said so in this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dataprotectionmanager/browse_thread/thread/a179fa30fb50c9b0/e9a348f2a9386063?lnk=raot.
Also, does anyone know what the internal error code 0x809909FE means in this alert? Knowing this my help us determine what caused these files to fail. Interestingly, in the FailedFilesLog.txt file, it gave a different error code next to each failed file:
0x80070002.
-Taylorbox

Thanks for responding, Fahd. So, just to be sure...
Do I add this registry key to the DPM server or to the protected servers (or both)?
In either case, the ContinueOnFailure key does not currently exist. So, I must create this key and the MaxFailedFiles DWORD value
manually, right?
Does the server in which I create this regkey have to be restarted for it to take affect?
Can the DPM alert for the 0x809909FE error event (for exceeding the limit of 100 failures) please be adjusted to provide a path to the FailedFilesLog.txt file
that actually works if you click on it?
Any ideas on why the 0x80070002 "File not found" error happened? The files on the server were simply created and then deleted. Why would such file activity lead to this error?
Thanks,
-Taylorbox

Database files limit

I work on Oracle database Version 10 R 10.2.0.4.0
My database has db_files = 200 specified as a part of Initialization parameter.
I have 200 database files already on my database, Today I tried to create 4 datatabase files for some reason my database allowed my creating those files even if it exceeded number of database files limit.
Will I be able to create database objects in these database files?
Any reply is truely appreciated.
Thanks in advance

From the fine Reference Manual:
DB_FILES specifies the maximum number of database files that can be opened for this database. (emphasis mine)
What does DBA_DATA_FILES say about the STATUS and ONLINE_STATUS of the files in question?
What does V$DATAFILE have to say?
Will you be able to create database objects in these database files? What does it cost to try it and see for yourself? With the proviso that you cannot directly specify what file an object goes in. You can only specify a tablespace. If that tablespace has only one data file the test is simple. If the tablespace contains more than one data file, it gets more complex because oracle will use data files within a TS as it sees fit.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

EA4500 router and media server file limit

I purchased an EA4500 router yesterday and it arrived today. Set it up, copiued my media library over to a new Seagate Expansion drive (2 TB) and it currently is filled with 320GB of files. Music folder, Pictures folder and Video folder. Thing is only some of the files are showing up. Looks very much like some stupid limitation on file numbers. I specifically purchased this router because of the media server and now it is useless.
Is there a fix for this sillyness? I can't seem to find a way to turn the file limit off. I truly hope I haven't purchased another rubbish router. The TP Link router I replaced had no such file size limit and was 2/3 of the price, easily.
Yours, not amused

Yes, I checked that before I bought myself a Seagate Expansion drive 2TB. The router list shows 1.5 and 3TB drives in that range and I would say that the 2TB is veyr likely to be supported also.
The files are bog standard file types! Some files show up but not all of them.
FLAC (you missed that filetype off the supported audio types btw) and MP3 show up but not all of them.
MPEG2 files show and play..but not all are visible.
None of my images in my photo library show up and they are all JPEG. No esoteric file formats.
It seems though that the media server just doesn't show anything after it reaches a file limit. It really isn't up to anything much if that is the case and for the money that router should be better. Furthermore, the folders with audio albums in doesn't display the contects in the correct alphanumeric order. I was playing an album by Cassandra Wilson and immediately noticed that the songs were in the wrong order. Something totall wrong there...the server has to be displaying them like that.
I have Marantz CR603 all-in-one hif fis in 3 different rooms in the house (living room and two bedrooms). Sometimes 2 can connect simultatenously but 3 won't as the server falls over. Even with two units connected it will suddenly disconnect for no reason. My connection isn't slow It is fast anbd yet accessing the media server is very very slow and especially simultatenous access.
It seems to me that the media server element is a stripped down token effort but all the sales garb for the router doesn't mention aything about its silly limitations.
I think the best thing for me to do now is return this to Amazon for a full refund and find another brand of router. It was bad enough 'adjusting' to the cloud managment - a firmware download initiated on install and installed that. Some of the config pages don't work properly (that needs an urgent fix as well...IP address fields with only 3 fields that won't allow you to enter last 3 octets of address and you can't apply setting) and the dumbned down way of presentating the options makes it a pain to setup if you are used to the usual way of setting up a router. If I setup a router manually it takes a fraction of the time that the hand holding setup nonsense takes. I get the idea, and it looks pretty and all big buttony how everyhting is going these days but there should be a seriously 'normal' advanced mode for people that don't require their hands held through the setup and configuration.
Very dissappointed. It's a fast router as well.

4GB file Limit

I have an iPod classic with 30GB. My music takes up about 6GB. I want to use the rest of the drive as a backup for the important files on my PC, The backup is about 15GB in size. When I try to backup to a directory on my iPod the backup always fails at a few bytes short of 4GB. I have see various references to a 4GB file limit but didn't see any conformation that such a limit exists.
I'd like to know
1)Is there a limit to the size of individual files on an iPod?
2)Is there a way to remove this seemingly arbitrary limit?
Thanks,
Ron MacRae

Is there a limit to the size of individual files on an iPod?
Yes, 4GB. See:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131 (bottom of page)
Is there a way to remove this seemingly arbitrary limit?
It's a FAT32 file system limitation and cannot be removed.

File and question mark when starting

Flashing file and question marl when i start my computer

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

Open file limit in limits.conf not being enforced

So I am running a Arch installation without a graphical UI and Im running elasticsearch on it as its own user (elasticsearch). Since elasticsearch needs to be able to handle more than the 4066 files that seems to the be the default, I edit /etc/security/limits.conf
#* soft core 0
#* hard rss 10000
#@student hard nproc 20
#@faculty soft nproc 20
#@faculty hard nproc 50
#ftp hard nproc 0
#@student - maxlogins 4
elasticsearch soft nofile 65000
elasticsearch hard nofile 65000
* - rtprio 0
* - nice 0
@audio - rtprio 65
@audio - nice -10
@audio - memlock 40000
I restart the system, but the limit is seemingly still 4066. What gives? I read on the wiki that in order to enforce the values you need a pam enabled login. I dont have a graphical login manager and
grep pam_limits.so /etc/pam.d/*
Gives me this..
/etc/pam.d/crond:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/polkit-1:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/su:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/system-auth:session required pam_limits.so
/etc/pam.d/system-services:session required pam_limits.so
Any ideas on what I have to do to raise the open file limit here?
Thanks

Seems like adding the LimitNOFILE parameter to the systemd service file did the trick, but still doesnt explain why limits.conf isnt being enforced.

System Check error : Actual open files limit:7000, needed 8000 nodes:

Hi,
System check showing up error 'Actual open files limit:7000, needed 8000 nodes:' in our BIA system.
SAP BIA Admin guide suggested open files limit should not be less than 8000. I verified at OS level
ulimit for open files (-n) is displayed as '8000' which is good.
Please suggest me how to fix this error. What if we increase ulimit value for open files at OS level?
Thanks in advance

.AVI file format question

Upgrading from CS2 to Photoshop CS5
I found out after the fact that in order to edit video you need CS5 Extended.
So, I then went and returned regular and upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended.
(See my other thread for details, but installing the 12.01 patch is not an option at this time.)
Try to use file open to open a .AVI file from one of my cameras and get a message of "unrecognized file format".
Was able to import the 7 second video into layers.
Checked support issues, and installed Quicktime 7.6.8
Also, due to 12.01 issues, reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended AFTER upgraded Quicktime to 7.6.8
Machine specs: Toshiba Satellite P30 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.60 GHZ (Hyperthreading Dual Core) 2GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Win XP Professional SP3 About 12 GB disk space available at install time.
Note that Quicktime will open the .AVI file in question with no problems, as well as Roxio software (trying to get rid of that with CS5)

I talked to support via phone and it appears the the problem is in installation. The install of CS5 extended did not take over the regular install. So, I need to start by completely uninstalling AGAIN and installed extended from scratch AGAIN.
I did try the program mention GSPOT as well. It says AVI codecs are installed on the machine inquestion. I will get more informaiton tonight afte rI do the re-install and see what happens.

File Serializable question

hi,
i know i've seen plenty of posts asking how to transfer files, my question is why doesn't simplying sending a file object from the client to the server work, file just implement Serializable? is it because the contents don't travel with the object? i'm pretty sure the object will go across, via socket programming or rmi, but why not the contents, or will they?
Thank you.

Because the file object, to the best of my knowledge,
does not hold the contents, it just contains
information about the file, such as its path.Very true. I never thought about it in this depth before, but the [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/File.html]API says:
"An abstract representation of file and directory pathnames."
That's all it is, a representation, not an actualy file.
Cheers,

Checkpointing - control file contents question

Some clarification is needed if possible...
When you commit a transaction:
- commit scn is recorded in the itl of the data block and undo segment header
- lgwr records the committed scn (for all data blocks involved) to the redo log
Checkpoint Event
- (3 seconds or possibly less passes by) CKPT wakes up and signals DBWn to write dirty (modified and committed)
blocks to disk
- CKPT records the scn of those blocks in the control file (data file and redo thread sections) and the data file
header (task of checkpoint when a log switch occurs)
- Checkpoint position in the Redo Log is forwarded
Control file contents question:
When LGWR writes the commit scn to the redo log, who writes the scn to the control file? LGWR or CKPT?
Also, when is the redo thread scn written?
Matt

Matt,
This is my understanding of the stuff. Feel free to correct me.
Checkpoint SCN , as I mentioned in my last reply is the marker of the point till which the data is "chekpointed" to the datafiles. This marker tells the controlfile that in the case of the crash, where to start recovery of the datafile and have to go which extent in the redo stream? This is only available in the datafile header and in the controlfile. This doesn't get recorded in the redo log file/stream.
I mentioned checkpoint queue in my reply too. Though I couldn't find any reference directly mentioned between this and in the checkpoint SCN but I believe my theory , if not totall, partially is correct. The incremental checkpoint is the stuff which makes the decision that how many redo blocks needs to be applied to the datafile if its closed without a proper checkpoint. So this part is maintained in the Datafile header itself in the form of the checkpoint SCN. When not matched with the conrolfile checkpoint SCN, which is always higher than this, a recovery is reported.
I hope its somewhat correct. Do let me know your views too.
Cheers
Aman....

Lightroom 3 export with file limit

Hi,
exporting to jpg with file limit set to 399KB sometimes produces larger files up to 450KB. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Need this file limit to upload the files on a website with limitation to 400KB.
Thanks
Gerald

It's a bug. The file size limit seems to be fixed in 3.2RC but if you choose both file size limit and watermark, the watermark won't show up.
