Artifacts in Using Save As for AVI to MOV Conversion?

When I SAVE AS a compressed avi file to mov, I am seeing artifacts (they look like interlacing errors) in the final mov file, vs the same frames in the .avi file. Can I avoid this somehow? The avi file was compressed with the BlackMagic Intensity code (I think it's motion jpg too).
The file sizes are the same.
Bummer, I bought Quicktime Pro just for this. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone here tell me why two duplicate laptops treat the avi-to-mov conversion so differently and why I must export at 480p?
As to QT playback, either the codec component configuration is different on each system or the the AVI file contains a legacy video codec that is turned on for system "A" but left off for system "B" but which is included in the Perian bundle installed on system "B." With reguard to the forced conversion rather than a simple "Save As..." action, please confirm the video codec name given in the "Inspector" window for each system. I suspect that either the video codec is different on each system or that the Perian version of the same codec with a different name may be forcing the "Export" conversion.

Use - SAV file for rpd

Hi,
What is the use of SAV file for rpd ?
Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi,
File gets created when rpd is in online mode.
When we open rpd in Online mode a dialogue box pops up saying “rpd is available in read-only” mode, Such cases to avoid this error we delete .log and .sav in repository directory and restart services.

AVI and MOV conversion?

I just got a new iPod Classic 80gb, and I found out that you cant sync AVI and MOV file format videos to it.
What I was wondering if there is a patch or something that allows my iPod to read AVI or MOV formats.
I'm using iSquint, but its rather slow for a 500mhz G4.
Thanks

Hello - I have a post below yours about converting avi files. So gather from your post that I need to buy quick pro, not just use what came with my new mbpro to be able to convert the files. Is this correct?

Avi to Mov conversion software for Mac

Since I can't search I may be asking a redundant question, but can anyone help me with locating some software for the Mac that will help me to convert some .avi files to .mov?
Thanks,
Jim

i think quicktime pro will do that.
unless it's some obscure, windows encoded avi file...
i like to use iSquint which is a free, slimmer version of Visual Hub...
--it's meant for getting just about anything on the iPod... but the settings allow you to choose pretty much whatever you want...

Mpeg streamclip avi to mov conversion settings for Final Cut Pro

Some help please.
I have just started to attempt to edit some avi files on the latest FCP, and for one reason or another, I'm having trouble converting the AVI files to MOV files in Streamlip, I have tried quite a few variations, but with very little joy. When i try to import a recently created MOV file into my FCP project, it either has no audio or both video and audio need rendering once placed on the timeline.
When I try to play the created MOV on QuickTime, again, there is no sound.
I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to tell me the exact Streamclip AVI -> MOV settings they have used to combat this problem, or simply just tell me where I'm going wrong.
Hugely appreciated.

Hi again,
I have spent the last few hours trying all different types of variations of conversion, but with no lukc.
Thanks for the tutorial link, but the problem isn't that I don't understand how to use Streamclip. i just don't know which video and audio settings to use to create a .MOV file that will provide me with audio. This seems to be my major problem so far. Audio isn't even present when I view the .MOV clip in quicktime.
I have tried DV - PAL, H.264, Apple Motion Jpeg A, Apple DVCPRO - PAL etc etc, none with any success. It may be the way I'm trying to compress the audio, but I'm pretty sure that I've now tried everything!
I simply need to know a good conversion and compression setting that will at the very least allow me to play the video with audio in QT. once I have that, I don't mind rendering the audio in FCP as it takes no time at all to do.
Cheers!

Best file format for 8mm home movie conversion

Hi there,
I'm about to get some old 'standard' 8mm home movies from the 60s & 70s converted to DVD as a Christmas gift for my mum.
The transfer company will also supply the footage as files to view/edit on my mac at a later date. I'm a complete iMovie novice so my question is, which file format should I choose?
They're offering AVI, MPEG 4, WMV, .MOV or Pro Res files.
Many thanks in advance for your help...
Jon Howard
PS I'm running iMovie '08 (7.1.4) & OS X 10.6.8 on an intel 13" macbook in the UK (PAL area).

Pro Res in potentially the best, but you would need Final Cut Pro, not iMovie, to edit it.
It is difficult to advise you without knowing the technology they are using. Are they capturing in High Definition progressive or Standard Definition interlaced?
I found a US company that would scan the 8MM at 1080P. They provided the files in Motion JPEG format. This proved to work great in iMovie.
If they are doing Standard Definition, I would say go for DV if they can. MOV is generally good, but MOV is a container, not a codec, so it depends on what is inside it.
Here is a post where I discussed the results.
Here is a link to the company that did it. http://www.mymovietransfer.com/
Here is a sample of the results. Watch in full screen if you can.

Help with Automator Script for QuickTime Pro Movie Conversion from Vado

All my videos from my Creative Vado do not show up in iMovie 09 initially on import. By trial and error, I have discovered that the old version of QuickTime Pro 7 ($29.95) will convert them to .mov files that can be seen by iMovie 09 once the converted videos are imported back into iPhoto.
I am (very) new to mac things, and it looks like in theory I could use Automator to handle to conversion process, and perhaps even the re-import into iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? Where would be a good site to post this as a project that I could pay some one to help me, provide an automator script/workflow?
Are any other solutions available? Buy Final Cut etc?
PS (Rant): One of the reasons I bought a MacBook Pro and iLife was to take advantage of what I thought was supposed to be Apple's superior multimedia handling. It seems ludicrous to me that with a MacBook Pro running the latest software (10.6.4), and using the latest versions of iLife, I'd have to buy an old version of QuickTime to convert my videos so that I could manipulate them in iMovie. Sigh.

MPeg Stram clip will export files which are compatible with iMovie '09. It (iMovie )can import the following.
DV
AIC
Motion-JPEG
Photo-JPEG
MPEG-4 (Supported profiles)
H.264 (Supported profiles)
Apple Animation (Movie '09 only)
Apple Video (iMovie '09 only)
iMovie '08/'09 will not accept files containing extraneous data tracks such as:
'Tween
Text
Chapter
Closed Caption
Secondary audio such as AC3
etc.
iMovie '08/'09 Will not accept files that rely on proprietary/third-party components such as
DivX
WMV
XviD
etc.

For the Attribute Movement type(BWA) we use Value " 201" and not "101" why?

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario,
For the Attribute Movement type(BWA) we use Value " 201" and not "101" and provide the Source syst(backend R/3)
Can you all plz help me understand what is the difference if use value "101" for the Attribute Movement type(BWA)
Also,can you all plz help me understand if we shd use value "101" or "201" for the Attribute Movement type(BWA) and under what scenario.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
RKS

Hi,
Movment type " 201 maintained for the Classic scenario only.
It is necessary to maintain the attribute if the default material group for a given user (or) sit is set to a backend logical system. The EBP system knows that if the user is set for backend procurement ,that there might be a possibility for a reservation to be generated therefore it checks to see that a value for this attribute is maintained. The BWA value should be defined for the as 201 preceeded by the logical system and a backslash.
101 should not be used. This isfor the Good receipt.
In the extended classic scenario when you do the confirmations in SRM the movement type 101 will be created in the
backend system (R/3 or ECC6.0)

E-filing for In Year Movements to HMRC

Hi,
We are on SAP version 5.00 (ERP 2004) and wish to use e-filing for In Year Movements to HMRC. Currently, e-filing is set up to send End of Year data via SAP Business Connector version 4.7. Do we need to set up any more message types for this? I was using the user guide for efiling from 2005. Is there a later version of this guide containing details for In Year Movements?
Thanks in advance
Bill

Hi there
As I understand it In Year Movements uses the same EOYR outgoing e-filing setup - assuming you have EOYR Outgoing e-filing setup which is detailed in the existing guides on www.service.sap.com/hrgb then "In Year movements" with the existing Business Connector configuration should be possible
Just an FYI there has been a recent addition to /hrgb in the form of an In Year Movement WMV guide it might also be worth looking at this guide as well in case there has been further updates or developments in this area
Best regards
Stuart

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
on horseback ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
Def not HiDef

Saving JPG to PNG using Save for the Web

Morning
I came across Paul Riggott's script for saving PSD to PNG which I changed to JPG to PSD.
The only problem with this is that the file size in most cases is larger than the original.
Is there a way to do a save as for the web as well?
Here is the original code:
#target photoshop
var imageFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select top folder to process");
var folderList=[];
if (imageFolder != null) {
processFolder(imageFolder);
folderList.unshift(imageFolder);
createPNGfromJPG(folderList);
function createPNGfromJPG(folderList){
for(var a in folderList){
var fileList = folderList[a].getFiles ("*.jpg");
   for (var z in fileList){
    var file = fileList[z];
    open(file);
    var Name = fileList[z].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var saveFile = File(decodeURI(fileList[z].path+"/"+Name+".png"));
    SavePNG(saveFile);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function processFolder(folder) {
    var fileList = folder.getFiles()
     for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        var file = fileList[i];
if (file instanceof Folder) {
folderList.push(file);
       processFolder(file);
function SavePNG(saveFile){
    pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
    pngSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    pngSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
    pngSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
    pngSaveOptions.quality = 1;
pngSaveOptions.PNG8 = false;
    pngSaveOptions.transparency = true;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
Any help or support to head me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Iain

Using "Save for Web & Devices" for a Organization Chart with Text

I created a document in CS3 Illustrator that is an Organization Chart. It contains rectangles, lines, and text. It looks great in Illustrator.
I have tried to save it using "Save for Web & Devices" to create a JPEG and a GIF so that I can pop it into a Dreamweaver document as an image and it keeps coming out blurry.
I have tried changing its size and resolution. I have tried opening and exporting it into Photoshop to try to "clean" it up. Nothing seems to be working.
I'm obviously unlettered in this modus operandi!
meem

Thanks for the response.
The background is transparent and will end up on a white background eventually.
I tried to make it clear in Dreamweaver by scaling it and it did seem to improve it somewhat. But it still doesn't look like the clear copy in Illustrator that I started with...
I also need to be able to embed this in a Word document to print for a hardcopy manual.
I had this same problem with Freehand a few years ago.

PNG changing colors using save for web (CS2)

Im having a problem with making PNG pictures when using the "save for web" function (this also happens in Image ready)
I make an image in sRGB color space and chose "save for web" and set the settings, all looks fine and i save it as png8 or png24.
Then when i view it in a browser the colors af "off" (desaturated) ??
But if i chose "Save as" in Photoshop, and chose png, and save it that way, the color macth up and looks allright.
What im a doing wrong ??
I have made a test with to sets of colors / picture one with "websave" color and one without then save them "using save for web" in gif, jpg with profile, png8 and png24
The gif and jpg goes well but the png's colors goes "off"
I also saved the to files using "save as" and here the png's colors looks fine
(Ther are also some screendums of my color setting, "save for web" setting and my screen profile if that can be of anny help
http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jgom/pngtest/
Also! can anybody tell me this ?
When using "save as" i cant chose what png im saving as ? (8 or 24) What type of png dos PS use when you save it like that ???

Now I've read up on it, it seems the issue is indeed gamma.
(I really appreciate the "that's impossible, you must be doing something wrong" comments, by the way. Not "hmm, I don't know," but actually "what you've described in detail isn't happening; you're imagining things." Super helpful.)
Anyway the real question is: is there a way to stop Photoshop from including gamma data? It's apparently an optional portion of the PNG spec.
The whole gamma thing is unfortunate, but the *really* unfortunate bit is that Photoshop includes this information at all, particularly in a Save for Web context.
Most importantly, it seems this has been an issue for some time (Google "PNG Photoshop gamma"), and PNG is usually used for web, so why on Earth hasn't Adobe addressed this? Let's not forget that Photoshop is the industry-leading tool, and the Extended version costs $1000 by itself. The only options I've seen for saving as PNG in PS so far is sRGB conversion, bit depth, transparency, and interlacing. This whole gamma thing seems pretty unacceptable behavior, even by default.
I'm looking into pngcrush; does anyone have a simpler solution to strip the gamma information? Of course, if there's a way to do this in Photoshop itself, please please let me know.
Thanks.

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
Example:
- Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
- Use the splice tool in PS6.
- Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
OR:
When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels
