Can I use FCS without the media?

Can Final Cut Server be used as just an information database without the media the info references? We're using Filemaker right now, but we have FCS. We don't have the budget for a full online system for final cut server (all of the hard drive space required), but we do have some.
I just want to know if FCS requires having the media attached as well. I'd like our entire office to be able to use FCS at the very least to find information on our media and know how to get to even if the drive that has the media isn't online.

To answer your last question
Question:
Does this mean that FCS requires you to import the media before it will retain any information or before I can delete the media and it retains the info?
Answer:
Yes, FCSvr requires you to import an asset before you can apply metadata to it. This can be a 1 second Quicktime movie to conserve on hard diskspace.
Question:
If I just wanted to manually type a record for our media could I do that?
Answer:
No
So for the rest of your question, I have for example create scripts that take records from a Filemaker .csv dump and done the following.
Scenario:
Filemaker
Outputs a .csv file with information pertaining to asset, these records have a filename as part of the records, but if your data doesn't have a filename it's ok.
Final Cut Server (script)
1. Reads the CSV file and 1 record at a time create assets in Final Cut Server will retaining the metadata from Filemaker.
This way you can use Final Cut Server to search for files. If you use the original files vs (dummy i second files) you can actually view the proxies to see what the assets are.

On the PowerMac G4 I had it had to be connected, but not sure about the model you have. My guess would be yes due to shielding in the case, but would rather wait and hear from someone else.

It's very frusterating especially when i'm doing someting when my computer randomly freezes or justs logs out for no reason when i'm using the apps.

Matthew,
if you boot your MacBook Pro in Safe mode, do those apps still behave in the same way?

Sounds like your phone is carrier locked, presumably to a service provider in France. There is no way to use it with another carrier unless you can contact the original carrier and get them to unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize an unlock - some will unlock some won't.
As far as using it jailbroken, you will not get support for that here.

Encore CS5: The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system...

Hi guys, I am needing assistance with this matter. I have read up on similar threads (mostly commented on my Bill Hunt), but I fear I may be missing something. Can anyboy please assist me?
Here's the background:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit.
Video footage format: AVCHD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
Photoshop Images: 1440 X 1080 (1.333)
I have been running CS4 Master collection for the past year and a half, with minimal hassles in encore (except for the early patch that needed to be downloaded and applied for some or other transcoding error in Encore CS4).
Right, so we bought the CS5 Master collection upgrade, and all applications are running great, except Encore. The moment I have completed editing my hour-long video in Premiere Pro CS5, I "send to Encore" via Dynamic Link. (This is the way I have been operating countless times in CS4. However now, in Encore CS5, the programme opens with all the regular project settings and saving dialogues, but the the moment it looks as though Encore is going get going, it stalls and doesnt respond, forcing me to close and try again.
So I tried the other way around. I restarted Encore, created a new project, in a new project folder, encore opens, and I chose to Import as "new timeline" selecting the Premiere project of choice. This time around, i don't get a crash out of Encore, instead I get the following message:
"The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system.
Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
So I googled the matter, and came up with Bill's response to the same problem (expect the date that it was posted was back in 2009). I am would desperately like to know if there is a solution, a patch, a workaround of some sorts that can help me get back to my usual workflow. I am pretty screwed without encore at this present moment, and the work is piling up. Can anybody help?
Many Thanks,
Matt

I am having the same problem however I end up having hardware error "Sense code 52102"
My video capture is similar to yours except I am using HD (Canon HNV model Legria HV40)
The process takes a long time and I have breaks in my recording to DVD and with no sound - once it completed after 40 hours.
I have wasted over 20 DVD's trying different things.
OS: Windows 7 64-bit.
Video footage format: HD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
Photoshop Images: 1440 X 1080 (1.333)
I have not tried what you did buy opening up Encore and importing to new timeline , let me do that and see if I get the same message.

The software that used to decode the media is not available on this system

I can see that this has been asked numerous times over the years. I am sorry to post this AGAIN, but I have not yet found a solution and have a deadline looming.
We created a 200+ DVD's using Encore CS6 on a Windows 7 system.
We upgraded to Windows 8. Re-installed CS6 Production Premium.
Now, when we try to open the projects to make a few edits, we get the "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
I've done the Encore Updates. I've done the Media Encoder updates. I've "Run as Administrator".
I've tried re installing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug this? The videos are already transcoded as *.m2v files.
You'd think this would be easy... like install a codec or something.
==> Mike.

Part of the problem is that this is probably not a "logical" error. The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This suggests that Encore's (and other Adobe apps) ability to handle image size is exceeded without a better error message. The link, which I'm going to post until I find a "new" location (if one exists) is now a bad link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
And in this example where it was not an image issue, the user fixed the problem by re-encoding the problem file.

System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

Greetings
                                    - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
server -
Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
partition on each source hard drive is not included.
Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
Server A good.
Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
"The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
Server A SRP 100MB C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Server B SRP 100MB C: 102GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

"If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring." Doesnt apply here.
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
Thank you so much.

Hello,
1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
correct order in the hardware.
4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline.
5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
should be present with minimum size requirement.
6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

I need a BAPI or function that can create a PO without the purchase req.

I need a BAPI or function that can create a PO without the reference to a purchase requisition. We are creating "direct POs" (with no reference to PR) manually. And we have a large amount of documents to create. I can't figure out if BAPI_PO_CREATE and BAPI_PO_CREATE1 can help us by doing this, because I've understood this BAPIs creates POs only with the reference to a purchase requisition.
Thanks in advance!!
Sebastian

Sorry I'm late guys, I couldn't replay your posts because I was busy.
Charlie,
...just because we have the data already in the SAP system.
My client doesn't want purchase requisitions to be created from the PM orders. Instead he asked us to create the purchase workflow by generating direct purchase orders from the PM orders, basically taking the information from the purchase agreement within the order's tasks. Maybe you don't understand a bit what I'm saying, but let me get this straight: we can't use LSMW because data doesn't come from a legacy.
Ian,
...after all, and like you've said, we're gonna use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 for creating the POs. Today I finally realized that, purchase requisitions aren't mandatory for the bapi to perform the process. If something goes wrong, I'll let you know.
Thanks anyway for your attention.

How can i use RemoteObject without mxml?

hi:
   in my flex project , i use blazeds + puremvc , so i want to put my business code in actionscript as proxy to communicate with java code, the proxy code like :
public function requestServer(page:PageInfo):void{
   userServiceRM = new RemoteObject();
   userServiceRM.destination="userService";
   userServiceRM.getsimpleList();
   var pageResult :Object= userServiceRM.getsimpleList.lastResult;
   sendNotification(UserStartupCommond.USERLIST_GOT,pageResult );
but i have a problem that pageResult is a null value .(the Configuring and the server side have no problem .)
how can i use RemoteObject without mxml?
thanks.

Hi. Remote object calls are asynchronous so you can't access the result immediately after making the call. You need to wait until the server returns the result. There are a couple ways to set this up. Probably the easiest thing to do is to add an event listener that will be called when the result comes back from the server. Here is what that would look like.
public function requestServer(page:PageInfo):void {
userServiceRM = new RemoteObject();
userServiceRM.destination="userService";
userServiceRM.addEventListener("result", resultHandler);
userServiceRM.addEventListener("fault", faultHandler);
userServiceRM.getsimpleList();
public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent) {
var pageResult :Object= userServiceRM.getsimpleList.lastResult;
sendNotification(UserStartupCommond.USERLIST_GOT,pageResult);
public function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent) {
//handle remote object fault
Look at the RPC Components section of the BlazeDS Developers guide for more information about using the RPC components. Hope that helps.
