From a little bit of quick reading in Wikipedia, it seems that Sorenson Video 3 was based on an early version of the H.264 codec. So it probably makes sense to export from iMovie as H.264 (other users please correct me if I'm off the mark here).
You can do this in 2 ways that I'm aware of. My preference is to use "Share to Media Browser" at either the Large or HD setting, as I mentioned previously. This will produce a relatively small file of high quality in H.264 format either in a .mov container or as a .m4v file. The .m4v file can be renamed to .mov by simply changing the 4 to o (the letter o) and will generally be recognised as a .mov file.
The exported file can be accessed by right clicking (Control click) on the project name in the iMovie Projects folder. Then click on "Show Package Contents". From here navigate to Movies and select the exported movie. This will be named either Large.m4v or 720p.mov depending on your export option. Copy to your Desktop, or any folder, and rename it to your choice and proceed from there.
Another export method is to use the option "Export using QuickTime". That will allow you to choose a format and to customise your settings. Among the available formats is H.264 and MPEG-4. Try both of these and compare for quality and size. Also compare these with the 'Share to Media Browser" results - you may be surprised!
Note that iMovie does not offer a Sorenson Video 3 export option. Probably other programs are available that will be able to do a conversion, if required, after exporting from iMovie in a suitable format.
I'm now getting out of my "comfort zone" Hennoch, and it's getting late here, so I had better close off now before I dig a hole for myself.

Cannot import .mov files (from JVC HM100) into After Effects CS6

Hi,
I am trying to import .mov files into After Effects CS6. Unfortunately, when I try to import the .mov files, AE tells me "After Effects error: 210_0001_01.mov cannot be imported -- this '.mov' file is damaged or unsupported." The file works in Premiere CS6. I have the latest Quicktime, and even with Quicktime 7 Pro installed, I got that same result. I would appreciate any advice on this problem.
Thank you.

Your footage is currently a long-gop codec, which may be giving Mocha fits. So instead of Dynamic Link, you may want to simply export the clip in question from Premiere using a lossless codec. Remember to leave handles on the footage.
To get back to Premiere you would then render in a lossless codec. It's not very handy, but it will get the job done.
Give it a try and see what happens.

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of hard drive do I purchase. There is not a lot of data to be transferred.

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower? There is not a lot to transfer.

MG,
What we might need to do is to change the question. What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future? For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower. If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over? If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive? What are your plans for the first drive? If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported. Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important. My suggestion is to find a user group near you. Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac. It started right up, read files from 1984 and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy. That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange. That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive. But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

Move data from external hard drive to time capsule

I want to move data from my external USB hard drive to time capsule.
If I drag and drop, it seems go through my computer, and it's 500 gig of data, that impossible, is there a way to direct copy?
Thanks in advance

Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

Thanks. I'd like to get rid of this OSX 9 after retrieving a few files. If I wanted to erase it's hard drive before I do so, would powering off then on again and immediately start tapping the F10 button do the trick as it does with a PC?

Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

Hello Salemr,
When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

Move data from one fs to another from a particular position.

Hi all,
i have a requirement where i want to move data from one field symbol to another from a particular
position.
I have a work area which contains string values. i have converted this string to hexadecimal value .
in this hex string m lukin for a position where '0A' occurs. Now i have to pick the string till dis '0A' value and move it to some other field symbol. Can anybody tell me how to do that.
The code i have written is as follows:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE x.
             data: temp1 type string,
                   p_word type string,
                   temp2 TYPE string,
                   w_len TYPE i.
                   temp1 = wa_value-value. "this wa containd the value
                   w_len = strlen( temp1 ).
         if temp1 cp '"*'.
           ASSIGN wa_value-value TO <fs> CASTING TYPE x. " converting wa to hex value
              DATA: VAR TYPE i,
                    COUNTER TYPE i,
                    line_feed_count type i,
                    temp_count type i.
         VAR = strlen( wa_value-value ).
         CLEAR: COUNTER, temp_count, line_feed_count.
           WHILE COUNTER LE VAR.
            IF <fs>+counter(1) = '0A'.
            line_feed_count = line_feed_count + 1.
            COUNTer = COUNTer + 1.
            ENDIF.
            COUNTER = COUNTER + 1.
           ENDWHILE.
        endif.
Now , i want to pick data from starting till the position it gets '0A' and then again till it finds another '0A'.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As everyone has rightly pointed out, there is no direct way of transferring the data from one appset to another. However, there are definitely few ways of doing it:
1. Run export package. Export the data in flat file. Import the data using import DM package.
2. Export the data from the cube of your application in excel file. Then run the import DM package to load the data.
3. Run UJBR transaction in SAP. Take the backup of the transactional data. You will get few flat files. Run the import DM package.
All the above steps will work only if the structure of the applications in both the appsets is the same. Otherwise, you will have to modify the flat file before uploading the file.
Hope this helps.

Move data from one Application to another Application.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to move data from one Application to another Application(we are working on SAP BPC 5.1/7.1 MS version).
Can anybody please mention all the possible ways to achieve it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The best way to do this would be to use destination_app statement. Please refer to the below link from help.sap:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/79/b299446e02478fa5eca684d1297ef3/content.htm
Alternatively, you can definitely export the data from one application and import it to the second.
Hope this helps.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:

To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Best way to move data from page to page inside app

Hi all I started writing this and it got way to complicated to explain in full without a novel.
Breif description. I am using query string that starts in the parent window (from href in json file) it then has to be moved into the iframe url when moving to other pages to avoid security as page and iframe are conflicting http and https. and cannot be accessed.. it seems there must be a better way.
So my question is what is the best way in open platform to move data from one page to another?

Hi Liam
Small data just a webapp ID and I am using the URL. But if you pass a ID say from Json ie "href":"/Admin/AppLoader.aspx?client_id=dev-name&ID=111111" it gets passed to the page url. This can be referenced using document.referrer initially. As the app is inside another frame and url that is https there is security issue using parent.location between https and http. Fine but then if you move to a new page referrer is no longer as there is no real referrer and you have to use location but you cannot. Now the work around is to pass the value from the page url to the app url at the start. and then you get around http https security issue when using parent.location but this seems convoluted and like a work around. Is this really the only way or the best way or a bad way. without using other ways that seem over kill for 6 odd characters.

Move data from Citadel to SQL Server 2005

I wish to move data from a Citadel database. I have tried to use an ODBC connection to a Citadel database with little success. I can connect and write queries using Microsoft's Excel, but what I want to do cannot be done in Excel (due to Excel's row and column limitations and because I need a "heavier" lifter than Excel) . The data-tag names are longer than MS Access will accept and Visual Studio Professional 2005 connects but no queries are successful. MS Access can open the ALIAS table.
What I want.
I wish the UTC date and time, Data-Tag Name, and data values between start and end times (logical run) for data contained in the RAWDATA table of the ODBC connection. I need to repeat this for the 400+ data-tags in the Citadel database.
An ODBC connection is inherently slow and inefficient and thus isn't the connection of choice. However, I don't know of any other means to connect. I have years of data from which to extract runs on multiple DAS Citadel databases.
Is the Citadel database the best source for this data extraction or is there a "native" LabView database that this extraction process might use for more efficient data extraction?'
Is there a product marketed by NI that will extract this data to SQL Server or a delimited text file?

Thanks Amanda:
Today, I was able to connect from within MS Access via an ADODB connection to the ODBC Citadel database. That is working well so far and seems to be reasonably fast--returned 3 recordsets from the RawData table having about 370; 1,400; and 460,000 records in a little over 16 seconds from a PC with medium power (cpu configuration and RAM availability). The recordsets were ordered but no "WHERE" clauses were involved.
I'll use these recordsets to vet the algorithm I am developing to identify "runs"--there are 19 complete runs and 1 incomplete run at the end of the Citadel database. The next Citadel database repeats runs 18 and 19 and then has run 20 through whatever. The algorithm currently successfully finds the UTC run start date/time. Tomorrow, I'll work on the run end date/time portion of the algorithm and if all goes well Monday will be the big test of picking the data between the start and end times for each run for each of about 370 data tag names.
Thanks, again.

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

How to copy data from mac to external HD Drive

How do i copy data from mac book to an external hard disk drive?

Click on the Desktop area (the area where there are no open windows or Dock)
Look at the menu at the top next to the small Apple, it should say Finder
Click on the File men and select New Finder Window
Click on the File men and select New Finder Window (or stick in a disk, a USB, connect a hard drive and double click on the icon that appears on the Desktop)
Grab the Window by the top area by clicking and holding the mouse button down so both are side by side.
Click on the sidebar or open folders on the first window to get to where your files are
Click on the sidebar or open folders on the second window to get to where your destination is going to be
Click and drag the files or folder from one window to the other
If this occurs between volumes, it will copy
If this occurs on the same volume, it will move them
If you want to copy on the same volume, use the Finder > File > Duplicate and move the copy

I used the Migration Assistant to move data from my Time Machine to my new Mac.   Most data seems to have been transferred successfully but none of my iPhoto pictures have been transferred.
My Time Machine now shows the earliest available Back-up to be after the Migration Date.   My iPhoto pictures seem to have either been lost in the migration process or are locked in my Time Machine prior to the earliest back-up date now accessible.
Any advice on recovering my old iPhoto pictures would be greatly appreciated.

First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.
