Bug with Captivate zipped video file--lose videos

Every time I zip within Captivate, I lose the video files.
What do I need to do so I can zip up the Captivate file within
Captivate but maintain my videos within Captivate? Please
advise.

If I want to see this Import Video dialog, I have to go through the insert option and then choose FLV or F4V.
By cons, there is a frame (play, stop buttons) that appears around my video and I can not put it in my table of contents ( it doesn't show in the Video Management) . Since I want my video (an avatar) in the table of contents, I have to go through: Video - Insert Video. By cons, when I do that, I can not find the Import Video dialog....!
I'm creating online training and I put an avatar (in the TOC) at the beginning and the end of my video. It is therefore essential that my avatar is found in my zip files.
Thank you very much for your help and for your quick responses!

Problems with integrated video files, some videos working, others not

Hello,
I have pdf files where video clips are integrated. Most of them are in the AVI container format with FFODIVX codec and without audio. These can be played within the pdf file.
I tried to convert the video clips that are not working to the same format and also to many different other codecs and combinations of codecs. But it didn't help. Some clips are just not working. Are there any additional limitations that I have to consider. Or does anybody has an idea, what the problem could be?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Daniel N

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

Help with util.zip up files... does not work

I am writing a program so my mum can zip up new photos she takes and then send them to me. The program creates a html file for the webpage plus a smaller version of her original photo and places them all in a 1 folder with a new name. Al this part works... I want to afterwards place my files in a zipped up folder that she can e-mail me with her normal client. How... I picked up this code on the net and have changed it to incoporate my parameters. The files which are created ..paths are (String in an String[]) I then send to my zipping method.
The zip file is created but does not work when I try to extract from it ??? I also know that the String [] works becuse I have made a loop to check its properties at each index.
what am I doing wrong?
This is a modified code I found on the internet but with no author??
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.*;
public class Test{
    private File zipDir;
    private String[] filename;
    public Test(String[] recivedFilename){
        filename = recivedFilename;
        try {
            ZipOutputStream zos = new
                    ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\curDir.zip"));
            from,
            zipDir("c:\\batviapictures\\", zos);
            zos.close();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            //handle exception
    public void zipDir(String dir2zip, ZipOutputStream zos) {
        try {File
            zipDir = new File(dir2zip);
            String[] dirList = filename;
            byte[] readBuffer = new byte[2156];
            int bytesIn = 0;
            //loop through dirList, and zip the files
            for(int i=0; i<dirList.length; i++) {
                File f = new File(zipDir, dirList);
if(f.isDirectory()) {
String filePath = f.getPath();
zipDir(filePath, zos);
continue;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
ZipEntry anEntry = new ZipEntry(f.getPath());
zos.putNextEntry(anEntry);
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
fis.close();
catch(Exception e) {

I make no guarantees that this will completely solve all your problems, but I just know these calls are needed but missing from your OP:
try {
    ZipOutputStream zos = new
                    ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\curDir.zip"));
                    from,
                    zipDir("c:\\batviapictures\\", zos);
    zos.flush(); // ADD THIS after all files have been written to the zos
    zos.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
    //handle exception
}And
while((bytesIn = fis.read(readBuffer)) != -1) {
    zos.write(readBuffer, 0, bytesIn);
zos.closeEntry(); // ADD THIS after each file is written to the zos
fis.close();

Only iMovie project or any Quicktime video file in video track ?

Hi,
it's a question before to buy iLife06 :
GB3 has a video track : is it only for iMovie film ? or can I put any kind of quicktime video file ?
thanks,

Just a couple. I don't even remember what codecs they were. I had some movies I had downloaded off the internet and they worked fine.

Camera Raw 4.4.1 has bug with Canon 40D raw files

I shoot with the Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, 1DMII, and the Rebel XTI. The Raw processor is showing an anomaly only with the 40D files. When I load raw images, and when the image is displayed, it is shown at one setting. Then in 3 seconds, its updated again at about 1/2 stop brighter. Each time I click on another image on the left column, same thing. The new image is displayed, then 3 seconds later, updated at about 1/2 stop brighter. THe histogram reflects the changes showing the data moving to the right. This only happens with the 40D raw files.
Whats up?
It happens regardless if "Auto" or "Default" is selected. I use "default" as a norm, never letting PS do an auto correction.
How do I stop Camera Raw from doing the second update? This has to stop.

Strange bug with the java.io.File class

Hi everibody!
I'm writting a system to upload images with JSF and RichFaces. But when i try to delete the images files sometimes hapen some strange bug.
first i'll post my method code here:
public void deleteUploadedFile(ActionEvent event) throws Throwable {
        UIComponent link = event.getComponent();
        UIParameter param = (UIParameter) link.findComponent("fileId");
        TheFile file = this.uploadedFiles.get((Integer) param.getValue());
        try {
            File f = new File(file.getPath(), file.getName());
            if ((f.exists()) && (f.canRead()) && (f.canWrite())) {
                if(f.delete()){
                    for(int i=0; i<file.getThumbs().size(); i++){
                        File t1 = new File(file.getPath(), file.getThumbs().get(i).getThumbName());
                        t1.delete();
                    setDeleted(true);
                else{
                    setDeleteLog("Arquivo não pode ser excluido");
                    setDeleted(false);
            } else {
                setDeleteLog("Erro ao tentar excluir o arquivo");
                setDeleted(false);
            this.finalize();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            setDeleteLog("Deu erro: " + ex);
        } finally {
            if (this.deleted) {
                if (this.uploadedFiles.remove(file)) {
                    setDeleteLog("Conseguiu remover");
                } else {
                    setDeleteLog("Deu erro");
    }Well, when the method run the f.delete() line, sometimes, something strange hapen. With is, the file data is deleted as expected, but the file it self is not deleted. And even when i run the line this.finalize the JVM still using the file, with don't allows me to try to delete it untill my tomcat stop (with kill the application that was using the file). And this don't hapen every time that i try to delete one file.
And worse, once it hapen every next time that i try to delete one file hapen the same bug.
My question is...what could it be, and what can i do to solve this?!

About this is not a possible cause. Because before i upload a file I verify if the file already exists and even after i change the file name:
//this method change the file name and eliminate all the special characters, and also attach the current day of month,
//month, year, minute and second to the file name
public String generateFileName(String fileName){
        Locale l = new Locale("pt","BR");
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-3").getID()), l);
        int ext = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
        String name = fileName.replace(fileName.substring(ext), "");
        String newName = RemoverAcentos.remover(name).toLowerCase()+cal.get(cal.DAY_OF_MONTH)+cal.get(cal.MONTH)
                +cal.get(cal.YEAR)+cal.get(cal.MINUTE)+cal.get(cal.SECOND)+fileName.substring(ext);
        return newName;
    }the upload method
String fileName = generateFileName(item.getFileName());
        try {
            File uploadFile = new File(filepath, fileName);
            if (!uploadFile.exists()) {

Lightroom bug with GPS in raw files with XMP

I'm quite sure I've stumbled upon a bug in Lightroom. I look in my XMP file and I see my GPS info:
38,53,25118N
77,1,90390W
But in lightroom, it loads the coordinates as:
+58° 52' 25.00", -82° 14' 53.00"
Now I was thinking something was just wrong in the XMP file, so I load the same image in Bridge and I see the correct GPS information. So I know it's a problem with Lightroom.
I searched the forums and haven't found anyone else reporting this bug. So now I'm kind of stuck. Can anyone confirm or deny this behavior? I'm processing hundreds of images from my last vacation and I am really stuck here because I can't continue until this is fixed and the chances of it getting fixed any time soon seem pretty slim.

After hours of painfully trying everything imagineable, here is what the problem is:
I downloaded the images to my PC using Downloader Pro (Breeze Systems) and initially viewed them with Bridge. Using a Windows XP in French. Apparently Downloader Pro used a comma instead of a period. Bridge understands it this way, as it's just a separator. However LR does not.
To fix it, I had to delete all my images from the library, then by hand modify each XMP and change the comma to a period. Then reimport into LR. I tested this on a few images and it works. Now I'm off to do the rest of the photos of my trip.
I'll report this to Breeze Systems as well, as I think it actually originates on their end. It'd be nice if LR could still read it like Bridge does. It seems LR is more strict and that's the problem. This could be considered a bug by LR as well since instead of ignoring the GPS coordinates or giving an error message, LR seems to calculate it and ends up being way off. For example, I was shooting in washington and all my photos showed up as being in North Dakota, Canada, South Dakota, etc.

JDeveloper 10.1.3 Bug With Multiple JSF Config Files?

There seems to be a problem with JDeveloper 10.1.3 when you have multiple JSF configuration files. I have three configuration files created for a JSF application. One file contains navigation cases, a second file contains the managed beans, and a third file consists of the regular faces-config.xml file.
When you are working with a backing bean in JDeveloper, it seems to have a nasty habbit of sticking a "new" managed bean definition for the backing bean you are working on in the faces-config.xml file.

Good point. We'll try to address this in the production release of 10.1.3.
Thanks,
Rod

Bug with selection tool in Photoshop CS

Hi there,
I find a bug with photoshop.
I work on video editing, so I usually create some image with not square pixel. In DV for exemple, we use 1,066 pixel ratio.
So I create a layer in full screen for DV editing (720*576 pixels for PAL in Europe) with 1,066 pixel ratio.
If I want to delete a area with 720*576 ratio, I use the selection tool and I select (keep the ratio 720*576) ... but the area wich I delete Is not really the correct ratio 720*576 !! Because, If I create a layer with the object tool (create a rectangle) with the correct ratio 720*576, It isn't the same shape as my old area.
So I think there is a bug ... isn't it ?
PS : sorry for my english, but I'm french.

I have test this problem with a friend on a CS3 version.
There is the same problem !
But we don't have the CS4 ... anybody want to test this ?

Captivate 8 corrupting files

Is anyone else having issues with Captivate 8 corrupting files? This is absolutely ridiculous! Come on Adobe get your act together. Version 8 of the software and we are still having to deal with file corruptions!! Instead of worrying so much about the user interface why don't you ensure that the product actually works correctly?

Lianeng & RodWard,
Lianeng - I was wondering if your company/organization was using Shared Actions?
RodWard, Could Shared Actions be the cause/root of this problem. I ask because we have two teams developing in Captivate 8. The one team is experiencing the growing and worsening Run Time Errors; however, I have a demo file that I've used Advanced Actions, but no Shared Actions and have yet to experience this Run Time Error with that file. It is the only difference I can think of at this time, so am just wondering if this could be the cause and if not using Shared Actions could eliminate this "bug" until Adobe could resolve the issue?? Then again, maybe this has already been considered and ruled out. Just wondering if Adobe can provide any additional data about the Run Time Error - knowns and unknowns that would perhaps allow others to assist with diagnosing and not developing the problem to begin with when creating course materials. Thanks!

Why does Firefox 4 not open video files (news and youtube) at all, but Firefox 3 and MSIE 8 open these video files quickly, all on my Dell Dimension 8250 desktop with MS Windows XL Pro?

I subscribe to an Earthlink package of telephone and ISP through DSL in Dallas, Texas. To avoid the congestion (time outs and files not found) of the virtual "cloud" servers, as a workaround I connect to the Internet through dial-up on each session on my pc. There is only one pc or computer on my local network. I downloaded Firefox 4 RC and it failed (would not open video files on the Internet), so I removed the Firefox 4 RC program from my pc, and then I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16, which works fine.
My operating system is Windows XP Pro.

Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
(Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+ r when restarting. Is this the right way?

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Is it possible to "convert" a PPT/Presenter file to Captivate and retain the audio, video, etc.?

Hi - I'm wondering if someone has done this or can recommend the best way to do this.
We have a PPT/Presenter file that was created using PPT 2010 and Presenter 9. We recorded audio for the training right in Presenter and have also imported videos into the file using Presenter.
We need to output the file to DVD to actually play on a DVD player. We know we can do that with Captivate (we are using Captivate 5) and are wondering if there is a way to take our file (the package so to speak) and get that to open in Captivate and retain all of the pieces that we have added to it (audio, video, hyperlinks).
Or, alternatively, if there is a way to publish our Presenter file to DVD format, that would work for us too.
Thank you for any information or suggestions!
Emily

Hi Emily,
Presenter contents and captivate contents are different. but you can achieve it using the following steps in presenter.
1. Open you presentation.
2. GO to Adobe Presenter>>Publish .Publish dialog will open.
3. Check the CD package checkbox and publish the content.
4. Now Goto the publish folder and burn the content on DVD.
After successfull Burn, You can play on DVD player.
I hope this will work for you. Kindly let me know if you are facing any problem.
Thanks,

How do I get Elements 13 64 bit to play .mts video files with sound as they do in Elements 11 32 bit?

I have upgraded to Elements 13 64 bit from Elements 11 32 bit and .mts video files now play without sound - they still play perfectly with sound on Elements 11 32 bit.
Is there something that needs to be changed to get Elements 13 to play them with sound or have Adope simply hooped .mts playback in Elements 13 64 bit?
I am running on Windows 8.1 Professional with Media Centre on a Dell XPS15 and have Elements 13 64 bit and Elements 11 32 bit installed.
Adobe, how do I get the support that is supposed to be available for 90 days after activation?

Hello jl666,
I have noticed the same issue having upgraded to PSE13 64bit from PSE9 on Windows 7. This has been reported to Adobe in several forum threads and I have myself tried on three occasions to get Adobe Technical Support to acknowledge or respond to this issue, so far without any success.
Despite the fact that Adobe publically claims to support this format, I was told in my last chat with their technical support that I should buy Premiere Pro and that Elements has never and does not support any video data...
Unterstützte Dateiformate | Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements
Here is my chat transcript which I attach in the hope that someone from Adobe will take this issue seriously and work towards providing a fix.
Sanyogita: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Jon Barber: .MTS files no longer play with sound. .DV files no longer play at all.
Jon Barber: Hello
Sanyogita: One moment while I look up your customer record.
Sanyogita: Please allow me a moment to search for the information.
Jon Barber: ok
Sanyogita: I can see you have PSE 13
Jon Barber: Correct and previously PSE 9 where everything worked fine...
Sanyogita: MAy I know which application are you using for >MTS files
Sanyogita: .MTS files
Jon Barber: This issue is mentioned in various threads in your forums as well, but no response or solution from adobe yet
Jon Barber: Organiser just double clicking on the file to play it. They play, but with no sound. When I play them in Windows the sound is correctly played
Sanyogita: In PSE 13 there is no provision of playing videos with sound
Sanyogita: You need premiere pro to play videos with sound
Jon Barber: Other formats are correctly played with sound.
Jon Barber: Please tell me why I have paid €80 to upgrade from PSE9 to get worse functionality then!
Jon Barber: This is nonsense!
Sanyogita: You should purchase Premiere pro for videos
Sanyogita: PSE 13 is only for photos
Jon Barber: Complete nonsense and not advertised in your documentation. Are you trying to tell me that no video files play with sound, because that is simply not true!
Sanyogita: Please purchase Premiere elements for videos
Jon Barber: Adobe sucks - I will pass your comments onto the appropriate forum threads and hope that other customers also let you know how they feel about this reduction in functionality from previous versions.
Sanyogita: previous versions of PSE never supported video application
Jon Barber: You are misinformed. These videos work fine on PSE 9 and most files still work on PSE13, just .MTS files have no sound
Sanyogita: I am sorry ,I am not an expertise in this product
Sanyogita: Let me connect you to that team
Jon Barber: Yes,I can tell that - perhaps you could pass this open bug onto someone who does
Jon Barber: Please do not close this bug - I am getting annoyed at having to reopen it
Sanyogita: Please stay online I will transfer your chat now
Jon Barber: ok thank you
info: Please wait while I transfer the chat to the appropriate group.
info: You are now chatting with Jayita Sen.
Jayita Sen: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Jayita Sen: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account & verify the details.
Jon Barber: Hello
Jayita Sen: John we only support download & first installation of PSE 13
Jayita Sen: please contact the forums for further support
Jon Barber: This issue is mentioned in several forums and no solution has so far been forthcoming from Adobe.
Jon Barber: I paid €80 to upgrade from PSE9 and now have worse functionality than before and now you are telling me you cannot help. Is that what Adobe considers customer support?!
Jon Barber: By the way I did recently download and initally install PSE13 so according to your rules you should provide support.
Jayita Sen: Jon we don't support "Unexpected behaviours or how to issues"
Jayita Sen: only forums support it
Jon Barber: This is not a 'how to issue', it is a bug!
Jon Barber: It is functionality that previously worked and no longer does. I am not requiring lessons in how to use the system, just trying to do something that already worked in previous versions.
Jon Barber: Frankly I find these support responses from Adobe shocking. What I expect to hear from you is 'thank you for highlighting this issue, we will work on finding a solution and get back to you and others with the same problem in the customer forums" Not an extraordinary set of excuses for poor software.
Jayita Sen: I am sorry Jon...but forums is where you can only get the support
Jon Barber: Customers having to help customers since clearly no-one at Adobe has a clue about their own product. How many customers do you expect to have in 12 months with this service?
Jon Barber: Goodbye - please contact me if you are geniunely interested in helping your customers rather than fobbing them off with excuses.
