AVCHD Viewer? Is there a way to view "raw" AVCHD files?

I have Sony HDR-SR5 camcorder that records in AVCHD format. I import most of my AVCHD files into iMovie 08, but I also archive the "raw" AVCHD files (so that when I buy a Blu-Ray burner I can make high-def movies). My AVCHD files are stored as disk images that I usually label something like "5-28-08 Video.dmg" After a few years, when I go back to re-import the AVCHD file from the disk image, I'll probably forget what's on that specific image. Is there a viewer I can download to view the raw AVCHD files in the disk image? Part of the reason I import the AVCHD files into iMovie is for organization (I love the "events").
I store my stuff using this technique:

Yes, but your camcorder is dedicated to doing one thing and one thing only, like a calculator. It was specifically designed for this task... and to read just the AVCHD files it creates. I imagine it won't read any other cameras AVCHD files. Unlike a viewer which must work with a majority of files.
Consider this: Panasonic has a AVC Intra codec that is only available on cameras running over $50,000 because the hardware is so specific and difficult to cool. Sure, in a few years this will trickle down into sub $20,000 units (I hope!), but the point is there is a LOT of engineering of both the software and the hardware to make it happen.
Or to look at it another way, about 4-years and one computer ago, we had an associate taking RAW image files and using Adobe Bridge to view them. On the internal hard drive caching a folder of 1,000 RAW files would take over one-hour. Now simply moving them to an eternal drive took caching down to about 20-minutes... but now you want to do this with HIGHLY compressed video files in the newest of codecs... there is a LOT of math going on here.

Is there a way to import a flash file to an iphone so I could continue to listen to my course and view the power point presentation at the same time? i.e.file source from a DVD?

Got an iphone 4s and would like to know if there's a way to import files from a DVD source to my phone. I am able to transfer the audio files through iTunes. Is there a way to transfer the flash file that contains the animated slides. Is there an app that I could buy so I could view this on my iphone? Thanks!

No. You would have to convert it to a video format that your phone can handle, then sync it over and view the video. I'm sure there are ways to do this, but I don't have direct experience with them as I have no use for flash content.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

LR4 How to view RAW+JPG files?

Hello --
I have been wondering about this for quite some time. I know there is the option to "treat jpg as seperate files" in the library, but i feel it clutters up the library so i tend to avoid this. However, if i treat them as the same, the JPG does get saved into the hard-drives directories, but it isn't visible at all in LR. I understand that this is by design, but what is the point of it then, if there is no way for me to look at the jpg (e.g. for comparison).
so my question: is there a way to see the jpg file, unless i treat it as a seperate file (and hence de facto duplicate the number of images in my library)? what i am looking for, is occasionally being able to view that jpg that has been saved to the directory.
thanks in advance for your reply.
patrick.

i agree with you and understand your point. my problem is that the auto-stacking doesn;t seem to work all the time properly, and i would have in that case to manually go through a rather large set. i am wondering if i may just be best off importing the files as the same and not seperate since this will ensure that the jpg's are at least archived. if i then need to look for one, i can always somehow grab it out of the catalogue. not exactly ideal, but may be adobe eventually will make it easier to access the jpg....

Is there a way to change a single file/folder's icon size?

Is there a way to change a single file or folders icon size independant of the rest? So say, you want the HD's on the desktop to be larger than the other files icon sizes?

Is there a way to create an MMS FILE

HEY ALL MACHEADS,
just want to know if there is way to create an MMS file on a mac with quicktime..or convert a quicktime to be sent via MMS ( from a blackberry say...)
I think its called viral video...??? any help would be great...
orlando f

If you wanted to send a video as an mms from a mobile phone, the best option for exporting would be 3G in the quicktime export menu ( File > Export and it's in the drop down list).
Keep it short and small and you shouldn't have any probs. There are some miserly operators out there who block MMSs bigger than 100K

Is there a way to insert/update .js files in an .oam after publishing?

I'm working on a rather complex Animate project that utilizes Edge Commons and jQuery UI. I'm using Edge Animate CC 2014 because 2014.1 broke some of that functionality and I was already too far into the project to update the code.
When I'm testing the project via "Preview in Browser" everything works great. But when I publish as either a .oam file or as web, the project is just broken. The interactive elements that depended upon Edge Commons are gone.
I've narrowed the issue down to the three files "index_edge.js", "index_edgeActions.js", and "index_edgePreload.js". If I copy the working files from the Animate project directory and replace the published versions, the web export works. I'm assuming Edge Animate is compressing the code in these files and that is breaking something. However, I need a .oam file so that it can be utilized by the next person in the chain. Is there a way to replace those three files with the 'working' versions within the .oam file?

Hi ,
Open your edgeProject/index_edgeActions.js.Replace the following with single line comment. Open in edge animate 2014 and publish again. Published content will work

I have files that freeze my programs whenever I try to open ANY file. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?

I have files that are freezing my programs (adobe; after effect and photoshop, as well as maxon cinema 4d). Whenever I try to import ANY file from within the program it doen't even let me select the file I need before freezing. I have moved all files off my desktop and into my dropbox, and it now allows me to import files/search for files on the desktop but NOT dropbox, once I go to dropbox it freezes again. I am assuming there are files within dropbox now that are crashing my programs. The problem is I have a lot of files in there and would like to remove the corrupt ones so that I can use my programs without freezing. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?
This has happened a couple of times and each time I have to move all my files off my desktop, so there must be a type of file doing this, I just don't know what files they are.
Mac Book Pro 15" running OSX 10.9
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
ANY help would be greatly appreciated! It is making it really hard to get work done. THANKS!

This error sounds to me like you have/had BootCamp Windows installed and then removed, posible ?
If so (and even if not so), try restating your MBA while holding down the alt/option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
Hope it helps

Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
Thank you very much

You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
- start Acrobat 3D
- drag & drop a CAD file
- click on 3D Annot to activate
- right-click on 3D
- select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
- 3D Toolkit launches
- click in 'Scene Tree' panel
- right-click on top assembly name
- select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
- select 'File->Save'
- select 'File->Exit'

Is there any way to create a setup file Like Visual Basic

Hi,
I want to create a setup file of all developed foms and reports to install them to desireable location, is there any way to create a setup file in oracle, Like Vb.
Raza

I believe there is something from Oracle but it was frustratingly buggy when I used it a few years back and only worked via the Oracle installer.
Personally, I'd recommend something like Innosetup, which is freeware and a Windows-style installer much like InstallShield etc. so it'll create an executable setup file probably OK if they've already got the Oracle Runtime components installed.

Is there a way to restore missing lightroom files without the original files?

I am currently trying to reedit some old work, unfortunately, I lost the memory card with all the original files, is there a way I can restore the files in LR without the originals? I figure since the program still has some of the data and can show us a preview of the images, there should be a way around this.

I assume you copied the original memory card files to HDD during import into LR. Did you later move the files or the containing folder to another location from outside LR and now they are missing?

Is there a way to compare two .itl files?

I recently uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on my Vista machine. I then re-imported all by music, which resulted in a new .itl file. I then realized I could use my old .itl file and preserve some data, such as date added, play count, etc. I notice, however, that the new .itl file says that there are seven more items in the library than were in the old one (out of over 11,000 items). I am curious as to what these 11 items are, since I didn't make any additions to the library between the date of the old .itl file and the new one (they both have the same date stamp, in fact, though the new one is several hours newer than the old one). Is there any way to compare these .itl files and see what the additional items are? Thanks.
Howard

You have to do it on a field-by-field basis in a formula using the Previous() function. However, you cannot "nest" calls to either Previous() or Next() - in other words, you can't do something like Previous(Previous(<some field>)) You'll also need to look at OnFirstRecord and/or PreviousIsNull() to work with data on the first row of the report.

Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

Hi Kiana,
As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?

Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?
I can import the Raw file successfully but cannot see any edits that were applied in Capture One. Im assuming no but just checking.

Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own proprietary processes and profiles for rendering the raw data.
They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and store the changes to an .xmp file or to a catalog file like Lightroom.
