Best way to send a large sound file via e-mail?

Hello,
I created a sound file in Sound Studio that is 75.5 MB large. I want to e-mail it to a friend through my Hotmail account. (I have a cable connection. I do not have AOL. And I just discovered that I can play it on my computer using QuickTime.)
What is the best way to do this? Do I need to compress it? I have heard of compressing large files to make it easy to e-mail, but I don't know how to do it. If so, will he be able to hear it when he opens up the e-mail on his end?
If anyone could give me step-by-step instructions on how to send this, I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

If you have Stuffit Expander check inside the folder for Drop Stuff.
Drop the movie file onto Drop Stuff.
This will compress the music file.
Or
You can send large music files through You Send It which is FREE!
There are others but, You Send It is the easiest.
Or
Since you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). You do not need to be a member of AOL.
I send all my music & movie files this way instead of using email.
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

Is there a way to send a large video file through email, not using websites?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is an easy way to send a large video file through email, not using websites such as yousendit.com.
If anyone knows please respond, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

No there isn't. Most all Email providers, whether your ISP or some other provider like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft with their Outlook.com or Office365 and Apple's own iCloud system, have a linit on the max size a email can be. Most are around 10MBs some slightly larger but if the vieo you want to send to someone it larger than that you will have to upload it to a website and then have the people you want to view it download it from that website.

Best way to launch a large audio file

I have a 90Mb wav file that I would like to play via LV. I have looked at the examples in LV and understand how to play the wave file. Unfortunately, even when the file is done, my system performance is way down. This does not happen when I use the standard windows players. Is there a way that I can launch the standard windows player from inside labview? and have it play this file?

Hi,
If you are in a Windows only environment you can use a direct call to the Windows SDK to play the file for you. This way you let the OS handle the buffers.
The function is called PlaySound(...) I've included a small VI here for you to test it. I have not used it with large files, but windows should have no performance issues.
Let me know how this goes.

What is the best way to manage the large FinalCutProX files

We are continously running out of space on our desktop with the FinalCutProX files being so large. We have moved most of the files (events & projects) to an external server and working off the single video projects from our desktop. How are you working and what is you set up to manage these large files.?
Computers we are using new Mac Pro:
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
OS X 10.8.5
What type of external servers?
Are both the events and projects stored together
Do you keep the video you are currently working on your desktop?
Thanks,
Ang

I have a MacBook Pro 17", 2.2 Ghz i7, 16 GB of RAM, 960 GB internal SSD (2 platters RAID 0). I have about 250 GB free on the internal drive, where I keep my current project. I also have a 3 TB external Thunderbolt desktop drive where I store the completed projects. I backup both drives to multiple drives that are stored away between daily backups.
If my current project takes up a lot of space, I work it on the 3 TB external. I also have a 750 GB Seagate Momentus XT hybrid HD/SSD Thunderbolt bus powered portable just in case I need it in the field.

How do I send a large movie file via email?

Hi - I've been reading through the manuals about how to stream movies to be accessible to friends.
Is there a way that I can post a short movie that I've created so that a friend overseas can have it stream onto her computer. I have created a number of versions using Quicktime Pro with the last using quicktime to save as a self-contained movie and an exported file using Movie to Hinter movie settings. I now have a quicktime movie of dimensions 960x540 and 168.6 MB. Is there any way that I can send this somehow to a friend's email address?

Here's one way to make it available online. This assumes however you have ftp access to a server and web site and your friend has a Mac with Safari.
1: Create a page with the Quicktime movie linked and upload the page and movie file to your server.
The web page address might look like this: http://www.websitename.com/moviename.mov
2: Email your friend with a link to the page.
3: If the receiver has Safari, they should click on the link to launch the web page, then go to the Menu bar > Window > Activity.
4: In the Activity window, a link will appear with the movie file.
5: Select that link, copy it, open the Downloads window, paste the link into the Downloads Window.
The file will download to your friend's computer. All this however does assume your friend has the luxury of being on a Mac.
Tip: Export the file using Quicktime Pro's settings for Web first to make the video's file size smaller.

Best way to send Christmas cards by email?

Based on other comments I've seen on these forums I advised my work this week that they should send their Christmas card email by creating it in iWeb and then sending it as an HTML message by choosing "File > Mail Contents of This Page" in Safari.
The problem is the Director just called to say that one of our clients said all he could see was the text.
Any idea what has gone wrong here? And what do people recommend as the best way to send Christmas card emails?

Not every mail client is able to or setup to view HTML content in web pages. JBK's suggestion is a sure fire way to get the content of the card so that any client or platform can view it (unless they have display of image content turned off and they have to download the image file and open with an appropriate application).

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
Thanks

Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

Whats the best way of sending files ?

whats the best way of sending files (mp3's) to another computer over the internet, been doing it over msn, but takes a while, is there any other way?

Have you thought of using an intermediary file server, e.g. yousendit.com, rapidshare.de, etc? Alternatively, you could do it the computer-to-computer route by enabling either 'Remote Login' or 'FTP Access' (Sharing preference pane) on one and connecting with the other.
As an aside, what you're doing isn't illegal, is it? Pardon my bluntness.

The best way to get 5.1 sound out of Mac Pro

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but could someone recommend me the best way to get 5.1 sound of a Mac Pro. Since I don't require hi-fi -level sound, just simple directional audio for gaming and such, I wouldn't like to pour a lot of money to this. As I see it, I'd need an external sound card, internal PCI-E soundcard or speakers that have an optical input. I would like for the cost to be in two digits, euro or dollar.
Any suggestions about hardware?

Once again, the issue of 5.1 w/Apple comes up.
Here is the bottom line.
You will only get 5.1 audio if the following conditions are true:
- You are using the OPTICAL output on your Mac
- You are playing a DVD with a 5.1 soundtrack
That's it. The simple truth is, that even if you have a Z-5500 setup (like I do), you still will not get 5.1 surround in ///any/// applications other then while playing a DVD.
There is no way to get 5.1 out of a game on a Mac Pro. No matter how much money you throw at it. The support simply is not there. It is not a software issue, it is not a driver issue. It is the game developer's issue (sort of), and it is a //lack of hardware// issue.
The complex truth, and I will attempt to explain, isn't that simple.
Your Mac Pro or Macbook only has a single line-out, that supports 2 channels at the maximum. Optical audio will only handle 2 channels as well- it's the same signal (in two channels) on a different medium, basically.
All PC soundcards that support proper 5.1 (save for a select few) have //multiple// line-out jacks for Front Left/Right, Center/Sub, and Rear Left/Right (3 plugs total for 5.1). Since your Mac/Mac Pro doesn't have this, you can't hook up a 5.1 speaker set and expect true 5.1.
You do have optical audio, however, this only works in 5.1 when a Dolby Digital signal is piped through the optical cable.
Dolby Digital works by encoding a 5.1 signal as a data stream, sending it to a receiver, where it is decoded and played back as 5.1 stereo. DVD's have this audio pre-encoded on the disk.
If you wanted 5.1 output from your games, they'd need to ether have the sound/audio data encoded as Dolby 5.1, or support encoding on the fly to take a 5.1 signal, encode it, and pipe it out the optical audio plug. Xbox360 does this, because they've licensed the technology from Dolby- as have the game developers.
Unfortunately, none of the developers for Macintosh gaming have yet to include live Dolby 5.1 encoding (I think Doom 3 had a beta patch that did- I could be wrong).
If the game doesn't support the above feature, then you only get basic 2 channel audio.
*Do not buy a Fireface 800.*
This is a professional audio interface (like an external soundcard). While it supports 5.1 output via 6 individual outputs, you need SPEAKERS that have +built in amplifiers+ (called a Studio Monitor). Not just one amplifier- all the speakers have it built in and take a balanced stereo input.
You're looking at $1300 for the Fireface 800, and another $200 per speaker. This is not cheap, is not meant for gaming, and is not consumer grade equipment. It's pro audio, designed for Logic 8 and similar.
Even if you did spend the money, trust me, I'd know... I have a 5.1 setup running through an Apogee Ensemble (a $2000 "soundcard"), and I do not get 5.1 support from Quake 4, C&C 3, or any other game. I only get 5.1 surround from my audio production in Logic 8.
To recap, since this has been asked many times- and I don't want you wasting your money here (just trying to be helpful!)...
*There is no simple or cost-efficient way to get 5.1 from your Mac, other then while playing a DVD movie.*
I would highly recommend that you buy a very good pair of 2.1 speakers with a Sub woofer. Maybe even a pair that takes an optical input for audio. If you really want to spend the money to *watch a DVD in surround sound,* then you can... And it'll work wonderfully, but gaming will not give you surround sound at all.
*Again- There are no games out that support 5.1. Just because you technically support Dolby 5.1, doesn't mean the applications are aware of it and can utilize the 5.1 surround.*
Edit: I may have neglected to also mention that the Firewave unit will support 5.1 properly through 3 separate plugs (much like a PC soundcard does), however the only game I am aware of that supports this is Unreal Tournament 2003 for Mac (or was it 04?), with an experimental patch for 5.1 via OpenAL. Last I heard, it worked okay, but crashed occasionally.
Most of the other games out there just don't support 5.1, period (probably due to the lack of hardware on the Mac computers from the factory).

Best way to organize a large photo library on a 10.6.8 Macbook?

I have an older Macbook pro- version 10.6.8.
I am looking for the best way to organize my large library of photos (approx. 15,000). I have both personal as well as professional photos that I would like to organize and keep separately. I currently use iPhoto'09 version 8.1.2 but it has become very slow and I would like to find a solution that uses better organization. I am considering keeping my personal photos in iPhoto and my professional photos in another organization app. I was thinking about purchasing Aperture, however it is only available for Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later and the same goes for the latest version of iPhoto.
I am a little confused about what my options are. Can anyone recommend anything? I am looking simply for a good organization tool, I am not interested in photo editing or anything beyond that.

Well now we know that the speed problem is in your old library. Repair it.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Backing Up:
Time machine will back up, yes. Just be sure it's set up correctly.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

Best way to send printer control codes?

What's the best way to send printer control codes in Netware 3.12? Should I
use a batch file that's run each time a particular queue is selected, or is
there something I should be doing with a pconsole option? I'm trying to get
rid of extra linefeeds and enable compressed printing. DOS environment, by
the way.
The printer in question is an Ithaca Pcos Series 50 ( #52 pn-06-0629), which
isn't one of the standard ones listed in Pconsole etc. It may emulate a
standard IBM though.
Thanks-

Never mind, I'm in a habit of answering my own posts these days. Just create
a job configuration in printcon that uses a device with the appropriate
device modes.
Is it just me, or is Netware queue-based printing a bit on the obtuse side?
Seems like it could have been made a whole lot easier (more linear?) to set
up.

Best way of sending signals between two VIs

Hello all,
I have two VIs. One that generate some complicated signals (sine wave, impulse, etc.). The other one takes manually inputted voltage and pressure send them out to some hardware with a pump, and reads back the output of the pump.
What is the best way of sending the waveforms from the signal VI to the manual control VI? I still need to be able to control the signals manually in that manual control VI.
Thanks.
Solved!

For exactly this kind of process, I am using queues, FG and (relax ppl, I know..) global variables. If you are writting a global in one Vi and reading it in another (to prevent accidental (fake)updating); globals are easy to implement. Many people hate them (I do, sometimes) but for these kind of cases I think they are well adapted.
For FG you need a user control and a vi for each variable you want to share... Both FG and globals are "bottle in the ocean" like of information : you send some info and sometimes this info will arrive somewhere...
If you need to be sure that the info is passed then Queues are to be used...
N
While you may not run into race conditions using global variables in a write once/read many approach they do not protect you from some part of your application deciding to write to them. FG at least provide some level of protecting access while globals do not. In addition, global variables can create multiple copies of your data. If your data is large, this can be problematic. I much prefered using a defined messaging scheme. The intent is very clear and you can provide safe guards. Even FGs are better. I personally would never recommend the use of global variables even though some cases MAY work out. A defined API is always a prefered approach and helps to keep the code modular and decoupled. This leads to greater reuse. Global variables tie things together and make reuse more difficult.

Best way to upload a large 25 minute video and where to?

best way to upload a large 25 minute video and where to?

Just a couple minutes surfing - YouTube only allows 15 minute videos from general users -- to upload larger apparently you have to be a trusted long time source. There is also a restriction on the file size.
YouTubes help section should give you all the details.
I don't watch online videos - so I just used a query in ASK.Com to get some quick tips.
