AVI import fails for older files but works in iMovie

I have two sets of AVI files, one from early 2000 and newer post 2008.
Both groups of files import fine into iMovie 11.
however, only the newer group imports into FCP X.
I can convert the older files to MOV using QT, but this won't work well for many files.
Seems if iMovie can read, so should FCP X.

I have had a similar problem, where maye 8 out of 10 AVI format moves will download into iPhoto, but the rest simply never get there. I did get 107 out of 109 files OK but have seen worse. I can tell you about which camera it is, how I connect and so on, but first, this:
A small sidebar in the Bugs & Fixes column of the April, 2007 Macworld magazine (see page 89) mentions that: "the likely cause is a problematic third-party QuickTime Plug-in." and advises the reader to check for and remove plug-ins not installed by OSX.
I took the same camera and imported all 109 pics from my camera on a separate account of the same machine (20" i-mac but I don't think this is relevant) and got all 109 f 109 files just fine.
So, I think "problematic third party QT plug-ins may be a good call. Need to investigate this some more, but its a flaky problem and Macs are supposed to "just plain work".

  • Fixed asset import failed for 1 asset but why?

    Hi Experts!
    1 assets wasnt imported to SAP, but no idea why.
    The asset was bought on 2007.01.08, the import regards to 2009, so only 1 month is to be depreciated.
    This is the log file:
    Life Parameter: 1000123;Z0001;szoftverlicenc;155;2007-01-08;;;;LK100;;;;2080000;0;2080000;100;2007-01-08;24;1;LINHU;2060052;;;;;;;;200;2007-01-08;24;1;LINHU;2060052;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    Any idea what to do with it?
    Thank you in advance!!

    Only this item wasnt imported.
    The last depreciation of this item is in the same month as the import regards, maybe this cause it?
    But then what to write into the remaining deprecitation run..

    If you want static libraries in your package, you have to tell makepkg to leave them in (the default is to remove them). Read 'man makepkg.conf' and 'man PKGBUILD' for details.

  • Mount_smbfs fails for one file server but works on another

    I have a simple terminal .command file that i've written and added to my login items. this script mounts two SMB file shares from different servers (win2003). this script has been working for over a month now it fails for one server and works fine for the second one.
    script looks like this:
    mkdir /Users/me/Desktop/fs1
    mkdir /Users/me/Desktop/fs2
    mount_smbfs //winserv1/fs1$ /Users/me/Desktop/fs1
    mount_smbfs //winserv2/fs2$ /Users/me/Desktop/fs2
    When it runs it should use my kerberos credentials to authenticate me to the winserv1 but seems to fail and then prompts for password. If I enter the password in the terminal window it fails.
    the mount_smbfs command for fs2 on winserv2 works fine and uses my kerberos credentials.
    i looked through the system.log for clues and found:
    Oct 8 12:11:06 is3018 login[2009]: USER_PROCESS: 2009 ttys000

    then I am prompted for password in terminal (which should not happen). i enter password and it fails
    then console log responds with:

    Oct 8 12:11:33 is3018 login[2009]: DEAD_PROCESS: 2009 ttys000
    the cryptic log file entries don't mean much to me - anyone have any ideas what might be happening?

    Turns out that our network time server was having some problems and the the two servers had drifted several minutes off the correct time. Once the time on each server was corrected my kerberos authentication issues resolved.

  • Plain user and systemd: dependency failed for local file system

    I tried to switch to systemd, but ended up in a maintenance console (Enter root password or Ctrl-D to continue):
    Enter password.
    journalctl -b as suggested yields "Dependency failed for local file system".
    I couldn't find a systemd troubleshooting page in the Wiki. So, can someone point me to such a page? Anyone willing to give some hints?
    What I did so far: Did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd tells one should do to switch to systemd.
    In the boot menu pressed e, moved one down to the line starting with "kernel", pressed e again, and appended init=/bin/systemd.
    Somewhere I read that "mkinitcpio -p linux" should be issued to make systemd work. No (positive) effects.
    Paul
    P.S.: Shouldn't there be a topic "systemd" in "Pacman Upgrades, Packaging & AUR"?

    According to the wiki you are supposed to append init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd if you are using the "Mixed systemd/sysvinit/initscripts installation" mode.  In all other configurations you should NOT have an init=.... entry since init becomes a symlink to systemd
    As far as I know, the init= entry doesn't hurt anything - it just isn't necessary.
    EDIT: Of course, it will hurt if the path was wrong...
    Also, at least on my system, /bin/systemd symlinks to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.

  • I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Performing a mass rename on originals to get rid of backslashes in file names. Worked for most files but failed for some with OSSStatus -43. Can't find any info on error -43. Any ideas?

    I'm moving all my managed files to be referenced so I can access from both Aperture and lightroom. Needed to do a rename on 16,000 files to get rid of backslashes in the file names. Most of the time it worked but for 1093 files it gave OSSStatus -43. I've tried googling the error and got nothing. Any ideas where to begin looking?
    Thanks
    Jim

    How are you renaming the files? In the "File > Relocate original file" dialog panel? Are you using a custom name format?
    Have you checked in Aperture, if the originals, that are giving you the error message, are still inside the Aperture library?

  • ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

    In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
    For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
    and connect successfully to the SQL Server db.  Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
    I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
    This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
    I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

    Hello Knellen,
    Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

  • Import error for .prproj files

    so i've just touched adobe mc CS4 for the first time, my church is allowing me to use the studio/editing room while not being used during the day at certain times. i am compiling a dvd of my wedding to make it more proffessional than the previously made vesion (which looks very amateur with a basic template menue, and so on). i plan to use some flash on the menus and maybe even include an easter egg as well. anyway, with the other program i just imported the media from the camera (which is an HDD camera that records everything into .mod files) i've had a .mod converter for quite some time so those are already converted.i saved them on an external HDD, i created a folder on the computer and just dragged and dropped the folder onto there.
    anyway, with my old program (cyberlink power producer/director) i'd just import the media into the editor, make the edits and cuts and save the project. then import the project into the author program to make teh menus and burn it. when i first pulled up the program to get acclimated to it, i decided to run through a very quick dry run of a full start to stop dvd burn of a very small video. i did a short series of clips and edits in Premiere (the oevr all project is like 6 minutes long). saved the project, and when i go to import the project into Encore it reads "the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this  system""adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not  available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file  you are working with may help correct the problem."
    i can encode the project as an mpeg, and it imports just fine. i can import the individual clips that make up the project into encore, they work fine as well.but if i import the .prproj file, it gives me the error. so whats the deal? can you just drag and drop these files in like this? i'm just trying to keep from constantly encoding the files after 3 encodes, i'm affraid the quality of the video will suffer too much degradation, so i'm trying to get it to where i can just import the project, and then at the end burn the project to dvd.
    i figured it better to ask on here, this way i look like a fool anonymously, and not look like a fool to people i actually know. heh.

    PrPro will come to you. It has fewer "automations," and "big-button" solutions, than PowerDirector (and Magix and PrE), but with that comes power!
    It is the same with Encore vs the limited authoring capabilities of PowerDirector, Magix, Roxio and PrE. Again, more hand-work, but oh, so much more power!
    Can you tell that I am a control freak, and do not mind getting my hands dirty to access the power?
    There are a few things that Encore cannot do, that programs like Sonic Scenarist can do, but there are usually workarounds, either in the design, or in the implementation, that will get you "there," or close.
    I strongly recommend that any new user to Encore purchase and read Jeff Bellune's excellent book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. That book covers everything that Encore can do, with two current exceptions - Adobe Dynamic Link (CS4 version) and BD authoring. Both of those were added after the book and EncoreDVD 2.0, were released. However, the Help files cover both of those newer additions well.
    Along with the fundamentals of Encore, Jeff covers all sorts of tricks and tips for getting more out of Encore, than the DVD-specs. actually allow. Obviously, he cannot break those rules, though he CAN help you create the illusion that the rules HAVE been broken. The user will swear that they just saw things, that are impossible, based on the DVD-specs., which are very limiting. Hey, it IS "smoke and mirrors," but if the user is fooled, you have succeeded, right?
    Good luck, and when you get around to adding some "tricks" to your DVD-Videos, post back. I'd suggest a new thread, so that other users can benefit from the new title, and so that users know that this is a new question. You will find that there is not too much, that someone here has not done, one way, or another. Oh, there ARE some limitations, where there is no good way to "bend" those DVD-specs., but you'll be surprised at what one can "bend."
    Happy authoring,

  • JInternalFrame not opening in JAR file, but works when not in JAR

    I have a folder that contains multiple .class files. I make all the class files into one jar file with this command:
    jar cmf mainClass.txt myapplication.jar *.class
    The mainClass.txt contains the following:
    Main-Class: myapplication
    class-path: myapplication.jar
    The myapplication.class opens up a JDesktopPane inside a JFrame. It also contains a start menu, which again has elements that opens up misc JInternalFrames inside the JDesktopPane. The problem is this:
    When I run the application from a .bat file, everything works fine. However, after making the JAR Executable file, everything works except 1 JInternalFrame. Now, the code for this JInternalFrame is far too much to post, so I'll have to ask as follows;
    Are there any reason why a JInternalFrame would not work from inside a JAR Executable, but work when not in the JAR file? Especially when other JInternalFrames are working? What can make 1 JInternalFrame different from the others in this regard?

    Perhaps the problem lies somewhere else.
    Obviously if other JInternalFrames are working then there is a difference in the one missing internal frame that causes it not to show up.
    My guess is that perhaps you are missing one or two classes in your JAR that are used by that JInternalFrame and that an exception is being thrown causing it not to show.
    Double check the contents of your JAR and make sure that all the classes are present and that they are the right versions.

  • Import Failed (Placing InDesign Files in InDesign CS6)

    I'm trying to place about 100 different ads in InDesign format into my InDesign CS6 document. The last couple years I've done this with CS4 without any issues. However, this year I'm using CS6. Now I'm running into the "Import Failed" error message after placing about 4-5 different files. The only way to fix it is to quit out of InDesign and relaunching it. When it relaunches, it actually automatically opens the document I had open before even though I had closed and saved it before quitting. So, to me, this seems like a glitch that's causing InDesign to think it crashed after quitting too. Has anyone else run into this? It is driving me absolutely insane.
    InDesign 8.0.1
    Mac OS X 10.7.5

    I figured it out. I just happened to think, "Hey, maybe it's Suitcase Fusion." Sure enough, as soon as I disable the plugin, everything is working fine. Go figure. I'll post something with them.

  • Mac Finder previews for .AI files not working

    [I'm using fully updated OS X 10.8.5, using Illustrator CS6 16.0.4]
    In the Finder, all my .AI files show up only as a generic AI file icon. Trying to Preview the files in the Finder also only show the generic icon.
    I've tracked down the QuickLook Generator locations, and found that I've got a generator named "illust.qlgenerator". But when I run in the Terminal.app this command: "qlmanage -t <ai file>" tells me this:
    [WARNING] Plug-in at file://localhost/Library/QuickLook/illust.qlgenerator/ is 32bit
    [ERROR] Can't load plug-in at file://localhost/Library/QuickLook/illust.qlgenerator/: The bundle “PDF” couldn’t be loaded because it doesn’t contain a version for the current architecture.
    That Quick Look Generator is only 32-bit, which seems to be causing problems.
    When I moved it to a different folder to disable it, then the native PDF.qlgenerator takes over, and puts the obnoxious grid behind the previews.
    Problems with the OS X PDF QuickLook generator:
    Obnoxious grid behind the actual content instead of resizing to maximize the thumbnail
    Native .AI files saved without PDF compatibility show no preview, just "This is an AI file without PDF content"
    To get the preview, saving with PDF compatibility would double the file size. Double.
    And I still get the grid.
    Is there a native Illustrator QuickLook Generator? I don't want to uninstall and reinstall CS6 just to find there's no difference. Does CS6 install any better previews than I'm getting? Another Mac user with the same setup shows beautiful full-color previews of the same AI sample files without requiring PDF compatibility or the obnoxious grid. 
    Thanks
    Darryl Z

    Hi Monika,
    Unfortunately, I neglected to mention that because I work with very large illustrations with many layers, paths and nested symbols the PDF preview is not very fast.
    I prefer not to save a complete pdf inside my AI files because it multiplies the file size which I find slows the cloud synchronisation of the very large files I work on.
    A quick raster preview would be the most performant option, lazy loading any available pdf or ai render if the item was enlarged.
    Thanks,
    Luke

  • Import a clean MP3 file, but can hear clicks when used in Captivate

    Hi there,
    I am having a problem with Captivate and wondered if anyone
    could offer some advice. I have done some audio recordings and
    import them into Captivate. However, when I listen to the files
    from Captivate, the audio quality is much worse with audible clicks
    that were not present in the original audio file.
    I have tried importing WAV and MP3 files and changed the
    settings to CD quality, but am still experiencing this problem. Can
    anyone advise me how this problem can be eradicated?
    Thanks
    Mo

    Welcome to our community, Mo
    Do the audible clicks sound somewhat like mouse clicks? I ask
    because it's common for Captivate to make a clicking sound as it
    moves from slide to slide. For example, if you create a new blank
    project with perhaps three or four slides and simply preview it, do
    you hear the same clicks? If so, there is a way to banish that.
    Take a look at the following link:
