Batch conversion to replace the anamorphic flag in DV Stream

I have a bunch of .dv files form my video camera but, unfortunately, when migrating them from iMovie '06 to iMovie '08 (and switching to a brand new iMac in between) some of them have lost the anamorphic flag. This means that when I try and import them to iMovie, they appear as anamorphically squashed 4:3 instead of 16:9.
I can open them in Final Cut Express and set the anamorphic flag there, but this only applies to FCE, the files themselves are unmodified. I want to be able to publish my movies to .Mac Gallery, so FCE is pretty much useless for this purpose.
I found that FCE will let me convert the file to a DV Stream with aspect ratio 16:9, which effectively fixes the files, but FCE won't let me select more than one DV file at a time in the browser for this. Going through all 500 DV files this way will be extremely tedious.
So: is there another way I batch convert files in Quicktime, or with any other (ideally free) program?
I already tried "Quicktime Quick Batch", but this just throws dozens of Applescript errors under Leopard.

QT pro does not have a sequential "batch" option per se. It will, however, allow you to convert several files in parallel if you want. I.e., as soon as one conversion begins, you can start another, and another, etc. Another alternative would be to use the MPEG Streamclip (free) application. It will also re-set your anamorphic using the "Export to DV" option. It has a built-in batch list window which will allow you to add a number of files for sequential processing while you are occupied in other activities.

  • How do I take a pdf flyer after conversion and replace the text?

    I downloaded the acrobat program that will convert a pdf file into a Word document.  Now that I am there how do I replace text on this flyer to my own?

    Once you have converted the original PDF file into a Word document, you'll need to open the document in Microsoft Word to do the editing.

  • Lightroom 2.1 & PSE 5 / batch conversion greyed out

    Hi,
    I'm running Windows XP Prof and have licensed LR2 and installed RC 2.1 on top of it. In PSE 5 the batch conversion entry in the file menu is now greyed out and even a de-/install of PSE 5 didn't help.
    I searched in LR & PSE forum and couldn't find any entry describing the same issue. Now I wonder whether this is really unique to my installation.
    Anybody out there who noticed the same and maybe have a recommendation how to fix it?
    Regards, HaJo

    Have you updated PSE5 to the latest camera raw available for that app - 4.6?

  • Anamorphic flags in DV PAL

    This is a continuing enquiry from my previous question regarding issues with outputting anamorphic footage to a DV device.
    In the past Final Cut has correctly added the anamorphic flag to the output stream, which is then identified by the DV device so it can display the content correctly without squashing it on a non 16:9 monitor.
    But now it is a different story, it's been a while since I did an anamorphic project in Final Cut and now it's not playing ball.
    I gave up trying to display my sequence correctly, and just edited on my computer display, but now that I'm trying to edit to tape, I'm having loads of problems.
    Doesn't seem to matter what settings I use on a sequence, or in the edit to tape window, Final Cut is not adding the anamorphic flag to the output. I understand that my DV recording is essentially the same, but it would be nice if the anamorphic flag was there. As it will not be possible to play the footage correctly from any DV device to a monitor. Unless the monitor supports 16:9.
    I've even tried exporting my sequence as an anamorphic DV QT file, sticking that file in an anamorphic sequence and setting edit to tape to DV PAL anamorphic, but it still outputs squashed 4:3, without the anamorphic flag.
    I've noted a few other people having similar problems in the forums, but noone has offered any solid advice. Anyone else experienced something similar or knows a solution?
    PowerMac G4 MDD   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I should also note that this is Final Cut 5.1.4 and Quicktime 7.1.6

  • MP4 - anamorph flag and multiple audio tracks

    So far Quicktime simply ignores the anamorph flag in mp4 video files, making it impossible to backup dvds and converting them for appletv without a very significant loss in resolution and quality. Will there be an update for this issue soon or is it simply not wanted to allow best possible backups? I know the workarround with the quicktime reference movie, but why not implement the mp4 specs correctly and make it all easier for us?
    What about MP4 videos with multiple audio tracks. I'd like to keep english and german audio tracks of my DVDs when converting to appletv. As far as i know appletv doesn't allow a selection of the audio track. Workarround with Quicktime Reference Movie works here es well, saving two Reference Movies with only one audio track enabled, but why not make it easy for us consumers and allow audio track selection on appletv. Will there be an Update?
    Hope to get some answers.

    modelone,
    Thanks for your post. I have been experiencing the same problem of not being able to pass-through export an MP4 file that was encoded with CE-Quicktime profile.
    Your post helped me to discover a workaround that will allow you to set the proper width of an MP4 file that is encoded with CE-Quicktime profile. This method does not require Quicktime Pro, and the corrected file plays properly in Quicktime and Apple TV.
    First, encode the MP4 file using CE-Quicktime profile. Then, open Dumpster and drag the MP4 file into it. Navigate to 'moov', then 'trak', then 'tkhd', then select 'Matrix [a b u]'. There are 3 hexadecimal values for this key. The first number is the transformation matrix that Quicktime and Apple TV uses to determine the correct display aspect. This is the value that is multiplied to the encoded horizontal resolution to derive the horizontal display resolution. For e.g. if the encoded resolution is 720 x 576 and you want it to play back in 1024 x 576, the matrix value is 1024/720 = 1.4222. Change that first number to this correct hexadecimal fractional value and click 'Apply'.
    The patched MP4 file will now play back in correct aspect ratio in Quicktime and Apple TV.
    Hope this helps!

  • QT movie batch conversion in iPhoto library

    hello everyone,
    i would like to ask for some suggestions on the following scenario: our iPhoto lib has grown rather big after 2 years of using a 720p HD camera. upon evaluating size to quality it appears that one can live with a smaller size movie format, such as the AppleTV 960x540 m4v, which plays better on laptops and lesser machines and also fits well with iMovie presets - in all, quite an acceptable compromise, but most consumer HD cameras have either 1080p or 720p shooting modes. as said, for home use, one can implement the 960x540 standard without much loss of quality for better use flexibility, especially if you employ a Mac Mini to a HD TV as we do, but the clips have to be re-saved.
    so here is the question - how to convert multiple movie entries in the iPhoto library to Atv format, without loosing metadata, such as date and time? QT obviously puts the current data/time on the new m4v file. i did try several things with limited success - Automator can do this batch conversion (but no custom one, this is how i got to the Atv format in the first place); once you select the movies in an iPhoto event, go 'show in finder' - they appear highlighted in the Finder window. chances are they will be in in the same folder, A converts them to desktop or any given location, then you re-import the files to iPhoto, compare the date and time to the original, hit the 'batch change', adjust date/time and delete old files.... but a bit time consuming altogether.
    would there be any Automator workflow or AppleScript to ease the task in larger batches, since one can filter all movies in a smart album? or anything else for that matter? tnx in advance!

    Bruce:
    Do you still have an untouched copy of your V2 library folder? If so, copy it to your Pictures library replacing the one you've tried to updated. Then download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Now launch iPhoto and see if the upgrade will go thru successfully.
    Also you might try rebuilding the V2 library with iPhoto 2 before copying to the Pictures folder.
    If you don't have copy of the library folder then run BatChmod as mentioned before and launch iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Losing Anamorphic flag (bug?) in FCP5

    Hi all,
    Working on a FCP5 set, I have a small problem (bug?).
    Material captured as Anamorphic (DVCPRO50)
    Working in Anamorphic sequences.
    All is fine.
    But when importing (File > Import) clips from other projects (in which material was captured as anamorphic) FCP5 does not recognise the anamorhic 'flag' and makes it 4:3.
    Well, no problem. I know this one, so before inserting this imported clip, I set the flag to Yes (anamorphic).
    I now insert this anamorphic clip into the anamorpic timeline.
    Still everything works like a charm,
    UNTIL I Match frame this clip from within the sequence. The clip which is anamorphic in the timeline matches to the same frame in the Viewer, but only in 4:3 !!! ???
    The browser still says 'anamorphic', but the Viewer shows a 4:3 picture and inserts as 4:3 (so pillarboxes) in the anamorphic timeline.
    Is that a bug?
    Rienk

    Interesting, though could this be an issue with DVCPRO50 material?
    I ask because I'm unable to reproduce this with DVCPRO25 and DV/DVCAM material captured in Anamorphic, as well as QT Movies (of said captured material) created by FCP (and then reimported).
    I also tried QT Conversion, then reimported, but I'm not able to reproduce the issue with Match Frame.

  • Replace the value 733.534 in reporting.

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing one problem in reporting. I am in BI 7.0 environment.
    Reports are export to EP everthing is good,
    Issue:
    one column displaying value like -733.534
    my requirement is don't display this value istead of this should display same flag or colour ....
    Root cause:
    this fields is calculated in the reporting level, so this is not coming from any data target.
    calculation: Days from two different Dates.
    eg; offer given date - offer excepted date = Days( resulet)
    I calculated by farmula with replacement path.
    this -733.534 value is displaying only when any one of the two dates are missed then this value will displaying.
    if both dates are in reporting calculated value is displyaing right. (currect result).
    can any help me how to replace the value -733.534 by any flag or colour.
    Regards
    Vijay

    Hi,
    You can achieve this by using exceptions in Query desigenr.you can put some colours for those values.
    Let me know if you have any issues.

  • Display burn in - Apple does not want to replace the LCD

    Recently my iMac 24” LCD display began to have “screen burn ins“ or image persistence on the LCD. I have done extensive online research about the issue, I tried setting my screensaver to pure white and running the apple screensaver to resolve the issue. I did not use my computer any more extensively than any of my other macs, so the image burn in came as a surprise to me this early in the Mac’s life span. I understand that the issue exists, and would not surprise me if my computer was several years old and it was never turned off. I will have to argue that the “screen burn in” happened too early for my iMac.
    I took my iMac to an Apple store and waited to speak with a Genius and have a diagnosis. After the Genius ran his diagnosis he said that I am out of warranty, however he agreed with me that it was too early for something like this to happen. He proposed that my LCD screen would be replaced, and said that he would give me a break and make a “one time warranty exception and not charge me for the new LCD and replacement based on the circumstance.” The genius placed an order for an LCD panel for my iMac, printed out the work order and shook my hand, I was extremely grateful thanked the Genius for making such an exception.
    After leaving my iMac in the store for repairs for 5 days, with excitement and anticipation I picked up my iMac which was claimed to be “fixed”. I got home opened up the box and plugged in the iMac and the first thing that I noticed was a dead pixel that I recognized from the old LCD, what are the odds of the new display having a dead pixel in the exact same spot? I called back to the apple store with my repair number at hand and confirmed that my LCD was never replaced.
    I thought to myself, maybe they fixed it, but just to be safe I used the computer until I noticed nothing changed the “burn in issue” is still here. So I created a background image in photoshop to purposely leave on for an hour as proof of the problem. I called back to the apple store early in the morning and talked with the technical center, the girl on the phone said “I remember your mac” I thought we had it fixed. I asked to make sure that the LCD that was ordered for the sole purpose of fixing the burn in issue which I had was still at the store, it was confirmed that it was.
    I came by the apple store and a different Genius looked at my computer, saw the excessive burn in. He ran the “Flurry” Screen saver, which helped remove the current burn in but was still not fully removed. He then told me that they would not replace the LCD, and that I should set my screen saver to every 5 minutes and lower the brightness to reduce the load on the screen. I argued that even if I can get rid of the problem after running the screensaver for at least an hour, the burn in just keeps coming back, and fast too.
    I came home setup the screensaver settings and began using my machine, not using it for even more than an hour I saw the burn ins from the store and some new ones that came from my doc, and finder window and shadow lines distorting the entire screen, almost making it look like mud lines.
    I took a few pictures with a DSL camera at the highest resolution, but I am not sure if this shows enough to really show:
    Doc burned in:
    #1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477936/apple/DSC_0751.jpg (need to make it 100% to see)
    #2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477936/apple/DSC_0754.jpg (need to make it 100% to see)
    Does any one know what I should do now?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I think that regardless that this was a different Genius, the Apple Store has made a commitment to you to repair the iMac out of warranty and should honor this commitment. I would go back to the Apple Store and speak directly to the Store Manager with your original paperwork in hand for the repair that was not completed.
    Should you not receive satisfaction from the Store Manager then I would call Apple Care and immediately ask to have your call escalated to a Customer Care representative. Explain the issue to the rep and ask for their assistance in receiving the repair commitment originally made to you by the Apple Store.
    Have all necessary paperwork for the committed repair at hand during your phone conversation. Take notes. Get the name and the position of each person to whom you speak. Speak firmly but politely. Do not get angry or make any threats. The minute you mention a lawyer or any other such threat the conversation will be over and Apple will fall back on the fact the Mac is out of warranty and any opportunity of getting a repair will likely be gone.

  • I want to replace the hard drive on my IMac but want to know how to transfer from the time machine external hard drive to the replacement drive?

    I have reached capacity on my IMac hard drive.   It is a 250 GB drive.   I have an external drive backing up using the time machine utility.  My question is once I replace the HD on the IMac, how do I load the new drive with the back up from the external drive?

    So many possibilities.
    I am not an expert, but I have learned this much is doable:
    Buy an external enclosure to re-use you old drive.
    Buy a new external drive at least as large as as your intended new internal drive.  Make it self-powered.
    Download CarbonCopyClone (free download, relatively small).
    Make a CCC clone of the original disk on the new external disk
    Install the original disk in the external enclosure.
    Install the new disk in the main system.
    Boot from that new external drive that has the carbon copy clone.  CCC will be installed on it and it will be bootable.
    Use CCC on the external to directly clone back to new drive you install in the main system (the "bootable" flag will copy).
    NOTE THAT AT NO TIME IS YOUR ORIGINAL DISK BEING OVERWRITTEN IN THIS PROCESS.  YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND REINSTALL IT.
    Step 1 makes your old disk resuable as a spare copy for "anything".
    Step 2 gives you something to use as CCC for after the recovery process.
    Step 3 gets the software needed for cloning
    Step 4 makes a bootable saved copy of your current system
    Step 5 shifts your old disk to a usable place
    Step 6 positions your new disk
    Step 7 boots your existing install of OSX (just from a different drive)
    Step 8 puts your original install on your new disk.
    Now you have a bootable larger hard drive, and a bootable copy on a drive large enough to save all you can store on your new internal drive.  And you have your old disk to use for "anything".
    Now you have TM backup in one place, and CCC backup in another.
    Two backups is better than one, and one of your backups is bootable in case of system failure.

  • Batch-find-and-replace.jsx

    Hi there, I wrote a batch-processing script for find change queries and thought I share it with you. You can get it over here 
    You can process GREP, TEXT, GLYPH and OBJECT searches. 
    Purpouse
    While creating books in InDesign with several documents we always come across some find change queries that need to be used again, and again, and again. To make this process easier you can just grab their names and put them into a list. The script will than try to process all your queries in one click. 
    prerequisites
    make sure you have a toml file.
    make sure the toml file is next to the script.
    make sure the toml file has the right formatting (see below in section TOML)
    if you want the script to autoexecute (without toml file selection), make sure the .toml file has the right name: "batch-find-and-replace.toml"
    make sure your fcqueries work right
    Usage
    Place the script and the toml file into your Scripts Panel Folder 
    define some find and change queries and save them via the InDesign dialogue.
    get the xml file names and add them to the "batch-find-and-replace.toml" file in the right spot. text search goes into text.files = [], grep search goes into grep.files = [] and so on. Make shure to remove the .xml from the filename. You can find these files on:
    Mac OS Users[username]\Library\Preferences\Adobe InDesign[Version][Language]\Find-Change Queries[query type] 
    Windows XP Documents and Settings[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign[Version][Language]\Find-Change Queries[query type] 
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign[Version][Language]\Find-Change Queries[query type] 
    the .toml file should be located next to the script file and have the  appropriate name (batch-find-and-replace.toml). If so the script wont ask for the toml file and process the data right away. If not the script will ask you to select the .toml file.
    Thats it. Watch the magick happen.
    TOML
    Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language is a simple markup language that makes settings human readable. It is still in development and may change a lot. But still. It is a pretty easy language and can be learned by anyone.
    The basic toml filer looks like this: 
    # these are the basic settings
    # the MUST be there
    do_text = true
    do_grep = true
    do_glyph = true
    do_object = false
    # now the file names
    # they have to be in one line
    # the toml specs say you can break lines in arrays
    # but the toml.js does not allow that at the moment
    [text]
    files = ["my_first_text_find_and_change","another one"]
    [grep]
    files = ["somegrepsearch", "find tabs", "something else"]
    [glyph]
    files = []
    [objects]
    files = []
    MUST HAVE Settings
    With the do_text, do_object, do_grep and do_glyph you can define if the script should do the corresponding find and replace. Set them to true or false.
    CAN HAVE Settings
    In the [text],[grep],[glyph] and [objects] areas you can define the filenames that should be processed. Make sure the filenames are written right. If there is a file mentioned that does not exist the script will throw an error. It will try to process all the .xml files it can find.
    !IMPORTANT! you MUST remove the .xml from the filename in the list as shown above.
    The Script is here --> https://raw.github.com/...find-and-replace.jsx
    The basic .toml file here --> https://raw.github.com/...ind-and-replace.toml
    The Readme here --> https://github.com/...lob/master/README.md
    And the whole package here --> https://github.com/...e/archive/master.zip

    Great script, it worked perfectly with grep, text, glyph, not only worked with OBJECTS, because I do the same operation and does not work. Can you give me a hand? Thank you.
    In arquivo.toml is thus:
    # These are the basic settings
    # The MUST be there
    do_text = true
    do_grep = false
    do_glyph = false
    do_object = true
    do_all_docs = false
    # Now the file names
    # They have to be in one line
    # TomL the specs say you can break lines in arrays
    # But does not allow the toml.js que momento
    [text]
    files = ["_OVER_BLACK_TXT", "_OVER_CORPROF_TXT"]
    [grep]
    files = []
    [glyph]
    files = []
    [object]
    files = ["_OVER_BLACK_FILL", "_OVER_BLACK_STRK"]

  • Running a batch file kept on the server

    Hi ,
    I need to upload a file onto the application server then i have to call a batch file from my ABAP code kept on the same server .
    The batch file takes 3 inputs the uploaded filename onto the server the new file name ( that can be any name ) and the delete flag parameter ( 0 or 1 ).
    Is there any function module to do the same ??

    Hi,
    Follow the steps:
    1) Define external operating system command say zcopytm1 using SM69 by using the following parameters:
    Command name                            Operating system       Type
    ZCOPYTM1                                Windows NT             Customer
    Operating system command
    e:\tm1out\tm1ph.bat
    Parameters for operating system command
    Leave this blank
    tm1ph.bat is the batch file which it will execute.
    2) First test it using SM49. Once satisfied use the following code to execute it thru ABAP:
    DATA: BEGIN OF t_copy OCCURS 1.
            INCLUDE STRUCTURE btcxpm.

  • How to replace the '&' character with '&' in xi

    Hi,
    i need to replace the '&' character with ' &'.but i f i am converting it is displaying as '&' because internally '&' = '&'.
    beacuse of this it is not converting.
    is there any possiblity to change the  standard conversion in xi.

    Graphical mapping does not support special character like & , <,> to be mapped.
    You can encode & as and in UTF-8 only.
    if you want the special character to be used, Opt XSLT mapping with ISO-8859-1 encoding
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
