Archiving movies

I was told by an Apple tech guy that movies that I have burned in iDVD for use on a TV cannot be further edited on my computer. In order to do that, I would need to choose the archive feature. I have been unable to find this option on either iMOVIE 3.0.3 or iDVD3.0.1. Is it just not on these older versions or am I just not looking in the right place.
Thanks

You have a few options:
• Export back to miniDV tape.
• Buy a large Firewire hard drive and archive your projects there.
• Use backup software and backup the project to DVD-R discs.

How to Archive/move a file in Tcode AL11

Hi Experts,
How to arvhieve a file or move the file from one path to other path in AL11. For one of the inbound file, i need to archive it after preocessing the data.
Appreciate your response,
Preetham

Hi Preetham,
Create a new report for this, first read data from first path and then transfer that data to the new path.
Sample code...
Wf_filename1 = file path on application server.
IF file_type = 'BIN'.
    OPEN DATASET wf_filename1 FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
ELSE.
    OPEN DATASET wf_filename1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
ENDIF.
DO.
    CLEAR : wf_row.
    READ DATASET wf_filename INTO wa_output.
Enddo.
wf_filename2 = new path in al11(for archiving).
OPEN DATASET wf_filename2 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
      TRANSFER wa_output TO wf_filename2.
CLOSE DATASET wf_filename1.
CLOSE DATASET wf_filename2.
Reward points if helpful.

Archive/Move files based on Modified Date range to another Library Using PowerShell while retaining Metadata

Hi,
I am trying to archive files from a SharePoint 2010 document library by moving them to another library that's a dedicated archive/folder/library. The files to be moved are selected based on their modified date column value that should range between any time
in the past to January 1st 2012.
Also, to be able to retain the tags and cloumn values after the move. Open in explorer does not bring along the user added tags.
I tried to edit this script
$WebURL = "http://mysite.com/";
$ListDisplayName = "Crawl Test Library";
$ArchiveFolderName = "Crawl Test Library Archive";
function moveItems ()
trap
#make sure we dispose of these in the event of an error to avoid memory leaks:
write-host "Error - disposing of objects...";
$Web.Dispose();
$Site.Dispose();
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite] $Site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($WebURL);
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb] $Web = $Site.OpenWeb();
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList] $List = $Web.Lists[$ListDisplayName];
$FolderToMoveTo = $List.RootFolder.Url + "/" + $FolderName;
$ItemMoveCount=0;
$Query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery;
$Query.Folder = $list.RootFolder;
$camlQuery = "<Where><Leq><FieldRef Name='Modified' /><Value Type='DateTime'>2012-01-01T00:00:00Z</Value></Leq></Where>"
$Query.Query = $camlQuery
$Query.RowLimit = 2200; #limit query because of large folder
$List.GetItems($Query) |
Where {$_.ContentType.Name -ne "Folder"} |
foreach-object {
#Line below will simply output to console and demonstrates another .NET call
[System.String]::format("Moving Item {0} with ID {1}...",$_.Name, $_.ID.ToString());
$Web.GetFile($_.Url).MoveTo([System.String]::format("{0}/{1}",$FolderToMoveTo,$_.Name));
write-host "Success...";
$ItemMoveCount++;
write-host "==============================================================================";
write-host "Complete! -> Moved " $ItemMoveCount " Items to directory " $FolderName;
write-host "==============================================================================";
#dispose:
$Web.Dispose();
$Site.Dispose();
#garbage collection
[GC]::Collect()
to do that but it doesn't seem to work. I am no guru in powershell yet so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

This solution gets the job done. Much thanks to
Ian Hayse
NB...The Modified and Created dates are gonna reflect runtime dates now

Archive .mov files

Hi all,
Ive got myself a bit confused! I have bought a Canon D60 and see that the video files are .mov. I would like to create an archive file like I do with normal SD cards from camcorders but FCPx wont see the card in the 'imort from camera' function, I have to import them as files.
So: a) Can I create an archive ?
b) Do I need too? Is there any advantage to an archive file or should I just keep the .mov files as they are?
Help much appreciated
Andy.

When FCPX calls something an archive it is just a copy of you orignal files in a folder stored somewhere (like a hard drive). You won't be changing the mov files. Importing from a camera isn't really any different than importing from an archive.
You can create an archive yourself buy mounting the camera's card and copying the contents to a folder in the finder. Once you've done this you can then import the files from this archive folder in FCPX.

What is best method to archive movies?

Appreciate any advice as to how to best transfer my iMovies off of my MacBook Pro running Mtn Lion, to an external device (thinking of a 1 or 2 GB G Drive) for archive purposes. Once my old VHS home movies are transfered & digital on iMovie, I'll edit a bit in "Project" & finalize them. I want to send both the final Projects & original film (Events?) to an external HD. I'm thinking of getting a 1tb G-Drive mobile as easier to move around BUT if someone feels it's more important to get a desktop G-Drive for video, due to having a fan over the mobile, then I would like to know before I make the purchase. In that case, I will go for 2 or 4 TB. I don't plan on editing from the external HD, I only want to archieve my movies there BUT also want the ability to move them back into iMovie in case I want to share them with someone. I assume that would have to be done via YouTube, which I have already used. Thanks for any tips. Pls note that I'm not computer savvy so no big tech terms; pls treat me like I'm in kindergarten with any replies! Tks! -Lynn

This isn't a Dreamweaver question as much as it is an SEO question.
Web searches reveal results based on content inside semantic HTML; not their URLs. So a link to index.html carries the same approximate weight as a link to http://yourdomain.com.
The main diff is that DW cannot manage absolute links for you. It can only manage links that are document or site root relative.

Archiving movie files to clear up hard drive space...how?

Hello,
I have noticed that my hard drive space is significantly reduced by the movies, slideshows, idvd's etc. that I have created.
I have about 100GB of files to archive and I am asking what is the best and quickest way to do this?
I would prefer to backup the files onto a DVD that I can reload onto a mac later on if I need to. I could make a dvd that is playable in any dvd player but I'd like a data backup that I can load and edit at anytime.
Is this possible and how do I do this?

a single-layered dvd-r fits 4.7GB... <math> ~22 DVDs.... phphewww...-
plus, most iM projects are much larger than to fit on one dvd...- you need a 3rd party Tool as toast7, which allows socalled spanning (=automatic segmenting and, much more important: rejoining these segments to one, single file...)...
how about investing into any external firewire harddrive, ~200Gigs are for <150€ (some offer<100€)... reliable, fast, convenient (drag'n drop).
don't forget to format with DiskUtility as MacOsExtended/hfs BEFORE usage
I do have 3 (4?) ext. hds here in use, just for my homevideos in edit, websites under construction, backups (4600 titles in iT... I don't want to rip all my CDs never again again!!), etc....

Infopackage-Load Many Files from Application Server and later Archive/Move

Hi All..
I have a doubt,   I have a requirement of take many files to load into BI 7.0.. I used the infopackage before with option:
Load Binary File From Application server
I load information successfully... only with one file ...but If I can load many files (with different names) like the next list.. I think it's not a good idea modify the file name (path) on infopackage each time).. :
*All of this files will be on one server that itu2019s map into AL11.. Like
Infopfw
BW_LOAD_20090120.txt
BW_LOAD_20090125.txt
BW_LOAD_OTHER_1.txt
u2026.
Etc..
This directory it's not in BW server.. It's other server..but I can load form this location (one file by one)
Could you help me with this questions:
-     How can I Use an infopackage with routine that take all the files..one by oneu2026 in order of creation dateu2026and load into Target? Is it possible?.. I have some knowledge of ABAP.. but I don´t know exactly how I can say to system this logicu2026
-     In addition is it possible move this files to other locationu2026 like into Infopfwarchive u2026 just to have an history of files loaded.
I saw that in infopackage you have an option to create a routine.. in ABAP codeu2026 Iu2019m a little bit confused because I donu2019t know how I can specify all the path..
I try with:
Infopfw
InfopfwFile.csv
Infopfw
This is the abap code that automatically you see and you need to modifyu2026
Create a routine for file name
This routine will be called by the adapter,
when the infopackage is executed.
          p_filename =
          p_subrc = 0.
Thank you for your ideas or recommendations.
Al

Hi Reddy, thank you for your answer
I have some doubuts.. when you explain me the option:
All the above files are appending dates at the end of the file....
You can load the files through infopackage by using Routines and pick the files based on date at the end of the file..***
I need to ask you if you think that when you know the date of the file and the infopackage pick each file... thi can work for many files??... or how it's possible control this process?
About this option, I want to ask you If when you menction Unix code... where it's programed this code?.. in the routine of BW Infopackage??
****Or
Create two folders in your BW in Application server level, in AL11 (ask Basis team)
I call it is F1 and F2 folders.
First dump the files into F1 I assume that the file name in F1 is "BW_LOAD_20090120.txt", using Unix code you rename the file and then keep in the same foleder F1 or move to F2.
Then create InfoPackage and fix the file name (i.e. you renamed), so you don't need to change everyday your file name at infopackage level.Because in AL11 everyday the file are overwrite.
To I get BW_LOAD_20090120.txt file in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt and loaded into BW, then tomorrow I get BW_LOAD_20090125.txt in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt....
so in this way it will work.You need to schedule the Ubix script in AL11.
This is the way how to handle the application server...I'm using the same logic.
Thank you soo much.
Al

Archiving "raw" movies

This is probably a fairly basic question, but I am wondering what is the best way to archive movies on DVD so that if I lose my hard drive I can still edit the movies.
From DV (Standard Def) would it be to load the movie into iMovie and then write the project (or events) to DVD? I know how to save it to a iDVD project and write it to DVD there, but thought at that point I could not edit the content if I needed to.
How about with a high-def AVCHD? Should I just copy the file directly to DVD in order to save space, because once I bring it into iMovie I understood it is usually way too big to put on DVD.
Thanks!
Michael

Greetings Michael.
If you want to save raw footage to DVD, check out a post I made some time ago:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5098991#5098991
Most people say to save your raw footage on mini-DV. The drawback to this method is re-importing it via camcorder if you want to edit. Playback also stinks because of the linear nature (fast forward / rewind) nature of tape. I have all my raw footage backed up on DVD so if I want to quickly grab a 1 minute clip I can do so. The key is to import via iMovie 6 and have it split the files into 3 minute or less chunks. You can then break the files up to fit on DVD.
Longer term Blu Ray will greater solve the huge file size problem of DV and Hi-Def. But if you're like me I don't just hit record on the camcorder and tape a whole event....I try to limit my takes to a minute or so. It makes for much more interesting home movies.

How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?

How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?
Background:
I am using Mountain Lion and Mail App and running out of space on my small primary SSD drive (where I keep OS, apps, key user preferences/data and mail for speed). The mail data is the big variable (many GBs) and I want to "archive"/move some of the old mail to my 2nd drive inside the Mac. But I still want it searchable inside spotlight and preferably even inside Mail too. And I'd like to be able to still drag and drop old mails into this archive folder.
What I've tried that seems to work:
This seemed to work:
1. Move the archive folder/mailbox to the 2nd drive/partition/folder (don't delete anything inside Mail App)
2. Create a symbolic link from its new location to the original/old location
This seems to work, it looks as "normal" and as if nothing happened inside Mail App but the folder now resides elsewhere and seems searchable etc. But I'm not sure that once caches refresh or over time with updates etc if stuff will break horribly or corrupt.
Is that the right way to "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight and visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Daniel

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

How do I archive iDVD project? Best/Smallest size?

Hi,
I need to know the best method to save a movie project that was made in imovie, then burned to DVD using iDVD. I want to save a copy of the finished product for archival purposes on an external drive. I want to be able to pull up this archive and be able to burn another copy of it to DVD or just be able to view the archived movie on my powerbook (directly from the external. I want it to be saved in the smallest size. I am ruling out saving the imovie project, as that is usually up to 12 or 14gb. I tried to save the iDVD project that was burned to a disc, but I wasn't able to view that again, or burn it to another dvd disc? Would it make sense for me to edit the project like always in imovie, open iDVD, and save it as a disc image first, and then burn it to DVD-R whenever I need a copy? And if I do this, is the disc image file going to be able to be viewed on the powerbook, without using the burned DVD? Also, I read on here that the iDVD doesn't have an option to burn to disc image? I know Toast Titanium does. I have that also. But, can I edit the movie in imovie, and then just open Toast Titanium and use it to make a disc image? And then at a later date, call up the disc image with Toast and just use Toast to burn a DVD? Also, I should note that I will need to burn 2 imovie projects to the DVD (they are 1 hr long t.v. episodes each) I need to put 2 episodes on each DVD. I know how to burn them from imovie directly to iDVD, but then I am back to the whole question of archiving them in something other than imovie projects or iDVD projects?????????
Thanks to anyone who can advise
-Tom

Oh my, where to begin.
If you think you will ever want to change your saved iDVD project (change the menu, add more videos) then keep the Project file. That is what iDVD can read. After you've burned a DVD (or made a disc image) with iDVD there still is an encoded MPEG inside the Project file. So you don't need to save the iMovie, just the iDVD project file (or project folder if your version has more than just a file).
A disc image is the same thing as having the video DVD written to your hard drive. iDVD doesn't open a DVD; nor will it open a disc image. When you mount a disc image (double-click on it) there will be a new icon on your desktop. If you open DVD player, it will play the movie from the mounted disc image the same as if it was playing a DVD disc. You may need to choose Open VIDEO_TS in the DVD player File menu and select the VIDEO_TS folder in the mounted image in order to play the video. If nothing appears on the screen, press the space bar to start playback.
Disc images are burned in Toast using the Image File option in the Copy window. You can burn one disc image to one DVD.
What I recommend is that you add your multiple movies to your one iDVD project before saving a disc image or burning a DVD. iDVD 4 can handle up to 2 hours of video per DVD, although I think it is best to keep at near 90 minutes or less for best quality.
As for saving a copy for future use: you need to save the iDVD project itself if you want to re-use it in iDVD. If not, you can save a disc image which is the same as burning another DVD except it is on the hard drive. By the way, Toast can make a disc image from your burned DVD. Insert the DVD, select it in the Toast Copy window and choose "Save as Disc Image" from the Toast File menu.

Feature request: Importing/backup/archive of tracks with metadata

Hi everyone,
I've found that one of the things iTunes does better than any other music player is handling and organising song information. Have you ever seen a PC user's jukebox? Thos things are a real mess, with cryptic track names ("mike mills - air - talkie walkie - 05"), artists in the album column, etc...
All of this information which describes the file itself is called "meta-data", and iTunes handles meta-data in two seperate places: the song file itself (ID3 tags in MP3s, for instance) and the iTunes library file.
You'll notice that when you drag a music file from one iTunes library to another, the meta-data stored in the file itself is preserved (artist, title, track number, etc...), while the meta-data stored in the iTunes library isn't (your rating, the play count, the last date played, etc...).
What I'm suggesting here is a feature that allows one to:
(a) make a folder / burn a disk with the song files AND a special iTunes meta-data (XML?) file, so that all meta-data is preserved,
(b) optionally delete the music files from your library after backup (i.e. archiving), and naturally,
(c) open and read backup/archive folders and disks, and allow one to reintegrate songs, playlists or the entire collection back into one's main music library.
I hope Apple is listening, because I think this feature would be really easy to implement, and would make a lot of people (especially those who keep their music spread across 2 or more computers) very happy!
I've already set up a smart playlist ("Give me 4.5 GiB of disabled (unchecked) tracks from my library, sorted by least recently added") that gives me the candidates for archival. Now, all I'm hoping for is a button that allows me to archive (move) everything to a DVD, clear some space on my PowerBook hard drive and rest assured that if I ever want to go back and retrieve a track, it'll be waiting, with the playcounts, song information and ratings all intact!
...either that or make all hard drives at least 1000 times bigger. I'm not picky.
Cheers,

PowerBook G4

Thank you for an idea!
I wrote a simple script to get metadata from files and offset AE clip times respectively. It is quite dirtycoded but does the job for me. Maybe someone will want to use this script, so I put it on a public accessible URL: http://zig-zag.ru/usefulshit/ae/xmp_time_shifter.jsx
My workflow is as follows:
- I separate camera footages (.mov, .jpg, etc...), and put them to folders like camera_01, camera_02 etc
- create new project in AE, new composition - named "camera_01_p1", import files from camera_01 folder to a project panel, drag'n'drop them to a compo, select "camera_01_p1" compo and run xmp_time_shifter.jsx
- I have 8 hours of footage, so I duplicate "camera_01_p1" composition, name it "camera_01_p2", delete all layers but unshifted ones, rerun time shifter script, repeat with the rest
- do the same with camera_02 (don't forget to adjust still photo layer duration before time shifting)
- export to a premiere project (yeah, thank you for this one!)
- then I open project in premiere, copy everything to a same sequence (different layers where needed)
- last thing is to sync entire video and photo layers at some known moment - it is done easily by placing marker at some time feature on different video/audio clips, and manually shifting entire layer to sync
- profit!
Since we are allready offtopic to premiere, I place some of my notes here:
- XMPFile function does not read files like "/d/path" on my windows 7, so I replaced them with "d:/"
- don't understand why, but this check - if(fname != null){ is not working. So script will fail on compositions with solid, null, etc. layers.
- I wrote simple date parser that is currently working with Nikon D3 (.jpg) and Canon 5D mk2 (.mov) but it can fail on some other models/formats.

How do you move events and projects between Libraries in iMove 10

I am running OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks) & iMovie 10.0.5.
I am trying to free up space on my internal 1TB hard drive and want to archive events and completed projects onto an external hard drive, which has a second iMove v10 Library on. Under V9 of iMovie this function was easy, but I am struggling under V10.
What is the correct way to move events between libraries in iMovie.
When I attach the external drive containing my second iMovie Library, open it I can see all existing events stored (by move) under version 9 of iMovie.
Reading the Help (extract below) for this function it implies highlight the Event to move & then drag & drop into the second Library.
Shift+CMD with drag and drop onto the second library at the library name level will move Events that are not tied to a project, but for completed projects (Finalized under V9 or shared for example with iTunes in V10) it seems these can not be moved, the above function only copies them to the second library.
I have tried all different combinations of the Fn, Ctrl, Option CMD keys etc with and without SHIFT and the ones that work for this function only copy the event. I can not seem to get an event moved once attached to a project. File - Move Event will also move Events not tied to a completed project.
I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events. Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
What I have also not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
I have been able to move Events not tied to a Project to the second Library, then create a new project within this Library. This helps with all new projects & future import of Events. But does not help me free up current space by archiving.
Extract from help
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
         Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
         Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
         In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
         In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
         Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks
Colroy

Further to my original post below; I have done further analysis and it seams that if you have events tied to a project (mine are all finalised) you can not move events between Libraries. However, events that are not tied to a project can be moved. Either by Shift CMD or by using File- Move event.
What I have not been able to find is how to move a finalised Project to another Library and then see if events attached to that project would then move.
Copy works for events attached to a project. I have also tried copy to a second Library & then to delete the original events. Again it appears you can not delete events tied to a Project.
Does anyone know how to archive (move) Projects and/or events in iMovie 10.0.05 under Mavericks 10.9.5 to a second library on an external drive.
Thanks

How to create Live and Archive Streaming URLs??

Hello Pros,
I am new to QT Streaming Server, and how it is setup and delivered. Please take it easy on me. Here are my questions.
Our school has been using Helix (Real) Server to deliver some video content via Live/Archive streaming video. The school will be changing a format to QuickTime Streaming server to move away from Real. We would like to deliver MPEG4 file via Live Streaming and archive. We set up QT Streaming Server and we can deliver video now.
How do you create and display URLs on a webpage to share live and archive movies? In RealServer, you can list URLs with live and archive, and RealPlayer opens separately and play movie. The videos are lectures so the website will have list of lecture links as we record every week.
If I click this link, a RealPlayer opens and start playing. Currently, I know that “sdp” file is assigned under RealPlayer. When I changed it to QuickTime Player, the player does not open to play movie. Is there way for me to setup URL to open it in external player? We are not interested in making the movie playable inside webpage. We would like to let viewers have option to stretch the movie player to view larger image if they wish. Strange thing is that when the live movie is played in RealPlayer, the image size is smaller that what we stream (320x240). How is it possible? I am confused…
How about archived streaming URLs? I have seen sites with embedded movie in the webpage, but how do you make links that when a viewer click the URL, it will start QuickTime Player externally instead of open it in new webpage? Is this possible? In RealServer, you can use “ramgen” code in a part of URL to open RealPlayer to play a movie.
Any help will be appreciated it.
Thank you.

How do I convert old imovie .mov files to files I can use in imovie 9.0.9?

How can I convert files from archived movies (.mov files) made on iMovie so I can edit them on the current (9.0.9) version of iMoview that I have? My Mac is version 10.10.2.

Hi billfromjohnston,
You should be able to import Quicktime movies (.mov files) into iMovie. Are you getting an error message when you try?
