Anyone besides olho using VisualHub to convert Motion files to FLV?

I am frustrated with Apple about the false claim in a promo Compressor movie on Apple's site that promotes Compressor being able to output to FLV. I found out after purchasing FCS 2 that I need to fork out another $900+ for a plugin for Motion to export to a FLV. A nice gentleman suggested VisualHub. He says I can drag the Motion 3 movie to VisualHub and end up with a good FLV file with little effort.
Is anyone else using this and can you tell me your experiences with VisualHub or offer additional suggestions to solve this (output from Motion to FLV) problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys for the help. One of you asked about where Apple eludes to the FLV encoding being included:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/compressor/
(Watch the movie, I think it's in the first minute. The announcer says: "Use powerful batch processing and job chaining capabilities to encode to a myriad of formats INCLUDING SD & HD mpeg2, H.264, VCI, WMV, EXF & FLV." Even The Apple tech support guy I talked to apologized about the apparent claim.) I think Apple is one of the fairest and best supporting companies I've ever dealt with. This goes against the overly honest and open position that Apple usually has.
I appreciate your explanation of using the Flash Pro Video Encoder. I already own the CS3 web bundle that (I think) includes that encoder.
Any additional thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Will H.

FilmRedux (open source version of Visual Hub) or FFmpegX. Alternatively, you can upload to YouTube, let them convert the file, and then download the converted file version.

Strange error when using RH11 to convert .dita files to .html

I am trying to use RH11 to convert a bunch of .dita files to .html, but so far have had no success. I have DitaOT installed in my program folders.
I've been opening robohelp, selecting new project -> import -> ditamap file. select the ditamap to use, create a new folder for the project, hit next.
In the replace default XSLT file for conversion field, I put in the dita2html-base.xsl file.
In the DITA Open Toolkit home directory field, I navigate to the location of the DitaOT root folder, select it, and click finish.
When I click, finish, robohelp almost immediately gives me an error message saying "No error occurred", leading me to believe that I filled out all of the required fields correctly, but when I check the output folder I created, it is empty.
Any tips on things to try/ what I should change would be very appreciated (or if i'm trying to force RH to do something that it isn't normally able to do, that would be appreciated as well).

Can anyone show me how to do the translation extraction in this OAF version?

Anyone know of (legal) shareware to convert FLAC files to iTunes format?

I have a lot of FLAC files which I wish to load into my ATV, but would not like to pay for the conversion software. Is there any LEGAL freeware that anyone is aware of that can do this conversion? I do not want to get involved in any hack software, though....

In this case the shoe is firmly on the other foot, the Mac has an embarrassment of riches in terms of free tools to convert to/from FLAC and Apple Lossless, these include XLD, xAct, Max, and more.
On the Windows side, I would agree with the recommendation to use WinAmp to convert from FLAC to WAV, and then use iTunes to convert from WAV to Apple Lossless. Unfortunately you are likely to need to re-tag the tracks since WAV effectively does not support meta-tags.
The above is a completely free solution. Another approach which should be easier and more efficient is to use dbPowerAmp and addons. However while you can use the trial version, it strictly speaking is a commercial application. See this page for a good summary http://hddaudio.net/?p=343
PS. You could always get a Mac

I want to use adobe to convert aPDF file into a word document that I can edit.How??

I select a PDF file and then use adobe to open it .It then asks me do I want to "save" the file.I save it and when I open it there is nothing there?There is no option to immediately open it in word!
How does this thing work?

Good day,
After you've saved the converted file to your hard drive, you'll want to navigate to where it's been saved and then open it in Word.
Alternatively, you could convert your files using ExportPDF's web interface. To do this, simply visit http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner. Enter your Adobe ID (email address) credentials to log into the service. After you're logged in, you should see the ExportPDF interface, with a button saying 'Select PDF file..' to get the process started.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
David

Converting .swf file to .flv or mp4 for free?

Hi,
Does anyone know of a program that will allow me
to convert a .swf file to .flv or .mp4 for free?
I can only find paid software to do this.
Thanks,

Could depend on where you got your .swf, too. The easiest way to obtain a useful copy of the video portion of a SWF file is to ask the creator to export it for you as a movie instead of native .swf which can contain tons of information that isn't really a movie.

Using iTunes to convert a file bypassing iTunes GUI

It was something like itunes convert aaa.mp3 bbb.m4a
Thanks

Hi Andy!
Our customers have this requirement to convert some "flat-file" into some XML format via Business Connector quite often. The best way (as the last post sugessted) is indeed to use the "EDI-Adapter" which is free of charge (service.sap.com/connectors).
With that module you can convert all flat-files (delimiter based, offset based, mixed, even classical EDI formats, ...) based on some definition ( = template). Be careful the EDI-Adapter Module download page states that it is supported for BC version 4.6 . However it is absolutely no problem to use it in BC 4.7 versions as well. Remember that you will NOT get any official support by SAP when using the EDI-Adapter module.
Simply import the EDI-Module as general BC package (server/replicate/inbound directory).
Generally it is very powerful, stable and well documented ...
Best regards, Andy

Converting FLA files to FLV and/or F4V

Hi there,
Novice Q. I'm using the trial version of elearning suite and am unable to import flash video into Captivate. I'm assuming the FLA files need to be converted to FLV or F4V, but I can only generate SMV files, and these do not import into Captivate. I have media encoder start-up faults, which I am trying to address in the relevant forum. Does the encoder need to be active to convert these flash files? Running Mac OS 10.5.8. and wanting to upgrade to Lion soon (which may also be problematic for the media encoder in itself). Thanks.

Thanks for that. swf files import with no visual entry content i.e. there are no playback buttons shown although the video is there. I am pretty green with this, so it could be me as opposed to anything inherently wrong within the prgoram. I have downloaded and used a trial version of Wondershare Video Convertor and generated a flv file that does work in Captivate, so I do have usable video content. I have also looked at the Flash CS5.5 trial version documentation and it says:
The trial versions of After Effects CS5.5, Flash Professional CS5.5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Audition CS5.5 do not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of these products. HDV, XDCAM and AVCHD formats and sequence presets are not supported in the trial for both Mac OS and Windows. Adobe Media Encoder export does not include MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-2 DVD or MPEG-2 Blu-ray as export formats in the trial. The file importer does not recognize file types that are not included in trial mode (such as MPEG and XDCAM files). HDV is not included as a capture format in the Mac OS version of the trial.
My source video has been MPEG-4 so this is likely to be the problem. I'll use the converted video as a sample at the moment.. I'm trying to convince my clients to use this suite, and they will need video capability, so I hope it is not an inherent bug within the program. Ultimately their IT department will take over these types of specifics, as it's not my area. Cheers.

Convert .mpeg files from JVC Everio HD Camcorder for iDVD/iMovie use?

Hello,
I am a brand new Mac user, but an experienced PC user. I have a JVC Everio 30gb HD camcorder that records video as .mod files, which can then be changed to .mpeg format to view. I want to edit these files and make home DVDs with iMovie and iDVD, but they say that the .mpeg format is not recognized. What do I need to do to use these .mpeg video files with these software programs?
Many thanks in advance!

welcome batman to the  board ...
well... the iApps iMovie and iDVD are meant to work
with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
you lose the convenience of the iApps... anyhow:
Streamclip
(free) is the weapon of choice, in case, your
HDcorder stores as mpeg1...
for mpeg2 conversion, you need additionally the Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) ...
helpful?
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I think they are in mpeg2 format, but not positive. Anyway, I did away with miniDV camcorders because they transfer much slower to the computer than the HD camcorder...but now I get this issue! lol I guess that's what I get for switching to a Mac!
Is there any other way besides the $20 plugin to convert the file? Will the plugin lose any quality in the conversion process?

Can I use iTunes to convert m4a to mp3 for use on my car stereo

I would like to burn a playlist to a CD for playing on my car stereo. If I use the default audio option, the CD sounds terrible, so I guess I need to select the mp3 option instead. When I do that, however, I'm told that my files are in m4a format and need to be in mp3 format instead. Can I use iTunes to convert m4a files to mp3, and if so, how? I wish to retain the songs in my iTunes so I suspect I need to make copies of the original and convert the copies, but I don't know how to do this either.
