Cannot move HD DVCPRO movies cross-platform unless all systems are 5.1

The 5.1 Crossgrade creates an awkward situation whereby an HD DVCPRO movie exported at full rez ('Current Settings') on an Intel box cannot be viewed on a G4 unless that system too has FCP 5.1 installed - the codec changed to allow the Intel compatibility. Earlier installs of FCP do not allow playback in Quicktime Player - you can hear the audio but the video is white.
The easiest answer is of course to ensure everyone's on 5.1, but that's not going to work in every case. So - before we launch into an export to another format that IS cross-platform compatible, do we have any advice? We need to export a 2.2 hour feature on a MBP, and long transcodes are going to be a pain.
DV would work fine, if the codec doesn't suffer the same problem. Does it? And if not, is transcoding >2 hours to 24fps DV going to be painful?
All advice gratefully receieved. As long as it's not from Mr.Ham.

Ouch indeed. I wish 'that fellow' the best! We don't have that problem though (we've got all the MXF's and a full backup of all the MXF's too, and everything was imported in 5.1). Our problem is a client who doesn't have 5.1, so he can't see the media we're exporting from 5.1 on his G4 with FCP 4.5. But he only needs to view the media, and it doesn't need to be in FCP - Quicktime Player would be fine. So we want to give him the material in a format that is compatible with his system So my question is - does DV exported from 5.1 suffer the same crossgrade format issues? And is it very timeconsuming to trasnscode out to DV from HD DVCPRO?
Worst comes to worst he can get 5.1. But it'd be great for budgetary reasons if we could avoid that.

  • I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

    I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
    I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
    My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
    I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
    It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
    I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
    I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
    Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
    Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
    It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

    After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
    However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
    Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

  • EBS Cross Platform Migration

    Hi
    I've EBS (11.5.10.2) running on RHEL 5 32 bit, and I want to migrate EBS to OEL 5 (64bit).
    I dont whether it can be called Cross Platform Migration(because both are linux flavors)
    Thanks

    Oracle EBS 11i is not certified on 64-bit for the application tier node, so you can migrate the database tier node only to 64-bit.
    And, yes this is called split configuration since the application will be running on 32-bit OS while the database will be running on 64-bit OS.

  • Cross platform movie information

    We would like to keep information about movies associated with the file in a manner that can be read by both PC's and Mac's. I tried entering info in the Get Info-Searchlight Comments window on the Mac side, but they do not show up in the info on the PC side and was lost in copying back and forth. Is there a way to save information that will work cross-platform?

    When I search in the Finder, it does not find it searching for content and All.
    Did you add "Authors" to search field list, set your search criteria (e.g. matches, contains, begins or ends with, etc.), and the scope of the contents search? Like QT Kirk, I am not having a problem locating directors, authors, comments, etc.

  • Cannot move object unless it's selected (Illustrator CS4)

    Hi
    Well, my setup is Mac OS X 10.6.3 and Illustrator CS4 and I have this feature which I really dislike. I can't move any objects unless I select them first, and it sucks big time.
    Is there a secret setting I've missed? Or is this »new» feature simply one of Adobes »enhancements»?
    Thanks for any help

    All the Illustrator hints were created as a common source for help, meant as a supplement to the FAQs which died with the fair  forums. It started with the hints about the preference file, both working with  it and getting rid of it, and the hidden Edges/Bounding Box issues; the whole folder came in later.
    I try to keep things updated. One ongoing challenge since the merge of the Windows and Mac forums has been to include specifics for both sides; I still make corrections when I stumble upon, or realize, inadequacies.
    And of course everyone is most welcome to point to them. It is a pleasure every time they serve their purpose.
    I have not seen this issue at all before, but some of the possibly offending applications are Windows (I think: the list is pure hearsay, as is everything about getting rid of corrupt preferences (Once I did succeed in deliberately corrupting the preference file by typing some obvious errors into it in a text editor, and then changed back to a viable one)).

  • Data Movement in Cross Platform

    Hi,
    Greeting!..
    My scenario is
    Host A - Hp-Unix
    Host B - Window 2003 Server
    1. Is the datapump dump file which is created in Host A can be import in Host B? is it so please forward the steps
    2. from Host A to Host B in need to transfer the data incrementally & regularly. How can i make this as automatic?
    Thanks in Advance
    Baalaji V

    Hi Balaji,
    Yes you can import dump on cross-platform but you may need to check syntax in the Database Utilities guide available on Oracle Technology network. Here is direct lik http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_toc?pathname=server.112%2Fe16536%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Books%29
    You can create and schedule two jobs in OEM. First job to export you source schema on predefine interval and store dump file on a shared locaiton that host b can access as well then next job will import that dump file into host b database.
    If your purpose is to replicate data regularly then you should also look using streams.

  • Cannot move a perfectly working archive [DATA_ERROR (0xC022)

    Hello,
    my goal is to move an archive from computer A to computer B.
    Computer A: part of an organization running a Novell Network
    Computer B: a private laptop with no corporate network
    The archive is around 10GB with close to 50k messages (both received and sent).
    Both computers have GW client version 7.0.3 on them but obviously Computer B cannot communicate with the GW server. The OSs are Win XP Prof.
    I follow this guide:
    10096089: Archive Error: "Need to convert older version of database to GroupWise 6"
    and it works but not all messages are moved (only close to 30k, all messages from last 2 years are gone). GWCheck (I use the most recent version 8 sp2 hp1) complains and stops with the following message:
    Code:
    - Writing Message Db rec 128355 as User inbox item
    User db record 28050 created successfully from msg database info
    - Writing Message Db rec 128358 as User inbox item
    User db record 28051 created successfully from msg database info
    Error 9- MESSAGE database read error DATA_ERROR (0xC022)
    Suggestion- Check physical consistency of database, rebuild if errors found
    REBUILD COMPLETED- summary of records recovered:
    Records recovered from old user database:
    Personal items 30 Setup records 0
    Records recovered from message databases:
    Inbox records 28020 Outbox records 0
    Checking server directory for outdated log files
    Checking QuickFinder index files for validity
    Checking Blob files for validity
    PROCESSING COMPLETED- total processing time: 0:20:06
    Processing completed
    I am 100% positive that the archive is not broken though. I ran GW check on computer A (where the archive is physically stored) and got no errors whatsoever:
    Code:
    ***** OVERALL STATS FOR THIS RUN *****
    Uncorrectable conditions encountered:
    - No problems found
    Correctable conditions encountered:
    - No problems found
    I can also access it and see that all messages are available.
    I also ran the same GWCheck on computer B (but in a different mode!!! Analyze vs. Recreate) and it also finds no errors, which proves that the files are not corrupted. Yet recreating the user database fails.
    I am starting to think that this might be caused by a FID issue. The main archive (on comp A) is in groupwise\ofsg6arc however when I follow the steps in the article above the directory that gets created is groupwise\of$$$arc and I have no control over that.
    Could anyone help me achieve my goal either by solving this problem or suggesting a different solution?
    Thanks,
    L.

    Sorry, nope. You simply cannot open a GW archive unless you first log
    into the matching Groupwise account. One (rather nasty) way to do it is
    by faking the online groupwise account through a caching or remote
    mailbox, but the groupwise client used to open the archive *must* at
    least once login to the live GW backend to create the remote or caching
    mailbox. A better way would really be to look at one of the third party
    options that convert a groupwise mailbox into e.g a pst file.
    I AM SORRY BUT WHY ARE YOU SAYING "NO" WHEN THE ANSWER IS "YES"? DO YOU WANT A SCREEN CAST?
    Maybe what I did was a hack, but it took me one minute to make it work on an offline laptop.
    So, YES, I can see my archive on the laptop with no GroupWise server connectivity. Just assume this is true and if you want to help me, please focus on the error I am getting (C022).
    For some reason it crashes in the middle of the process. If if hadn't, I would not be asking questions here and would enjoy my GroupWise archive on MY LAPTOP WITH NO GROUPWISE SERVER CONNECTIVITY.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot move photo from catalogue to all pictures in "home" location

    I have adobe starter edition 3, windows xp. Computer is Dell 2400 (IBM), printer is PIXMA MP530. I have some pictures on fotki that I want to place in the "home" part of ADOBE, where all of my pictures can be seen. I am able to download to desktop. It seems as if I click on the ADOBE picture album folder, the photo would replace the picture album folder. When I download to the desktop, the photo is placed in the catalogue. When I try to place it in the home location, a "cannot place in location: picture already in catalgoue" message. I cannot see the photo unless I type in the file name and search using "find". I would like to be able to see this photo in the home folder. There are too many photos that need to be downloaded (a computer accident destroyed some photos, but I can download the original photo from fotki).
    How can I place the photos in the "home" loaction?

  • Cannot move selected objects in Illustrator

    I'm using Illustrator CS5.5.
    I cannot move anything I select. I try to drag it and it makes the "bump" noise. 
    -I made sure that my preferences are not set to "object selection by path only".
    -I've restarted my computer several times
    -I tried to open a previous Illustrator file and I have the same problem
    -I even uninstalled and reinstalled my entire Abode Suite beacuse I've been having several issues
    I'm not sure if this is related but I also can't create a new document unless I use picas and CMYK coloring. It refuses to adjust to anything other than the default settings. Also, I can't increase the stroke of an object unless I type in the number, meaning I can't use the arrows for adjustment.
    So basically I am having a ton of problems and even reinstalling the program didn't fix them.
    Help please.

    Hi everyone.
    I've also had the same problem recently. To sum it up:
    - Sometimes (randomly) Illy won't move objects. I click and drag them, it results on a bumpy sound and the object comes back to its initial place. Note that the object is visually being moved during the drag
    - Trying it again, with the same object, same conditions, may results in more failures, but at some point it works (sometimes 2 tries, sometimes 20)
    - It doesn't seem to be affected by the direction, distance, "drag time" of the Move action.
    - It is also not affected by the type of object being moved (simple or complicated shape, pixel image, etc)
    - Keyboard input works flawlessly
    - Only the move action via Selection or Direct Selection tool is affected.
    What i've tried:
    - Looking at obvious errors (layer locked, wrong tool selected, etc)
    - Checking the outlines using Ctrl-Y or any other shape that would be in the way
    - Unchecking "Object selection by path only" (was already, tried both)
    - Opening other files, older or newer.
    - Restarting Illustrator
    - Restarting Computer
    - Resetting my preferences
    - Putting all kind of drivers up to date (Graphics, Motherboard, mouse, etc)
    - Completely uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe CC 2014 Creative Suite, with a Cleaner Tool in between
    - Trying with an older Illustrator version (CC) which does not seems to be affected (then again, the bug is pretty random, and danielv82539074 is having it with CS6)
    Now my guess would be some kind of issue with mouse recognition since keyboard works. Restarting Illy sometimes give me a 10-15 minutes relapse before the bug occurs again.
    Gear:
    - Illustrator 18.1.1 64 bits
    - Intel Core I6-2600K 3.4 GHz
    - Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti (drivers up to date)
    - Mouse Steelseries XAI
    - Windows 8
    Anyway, this is really really annoying, i hate everyone, my life is in limbo, why is this happening to meee?!
    Just kidding, i still love you Illy, just, you know, let me work !
    Thanks everyone <3

  • Cannot move [MOV filename]: It is in use by another person or program

    Hello. I have recently installed version 7.41 of Quicktime for Windows (had the same problem with 7.4). What appears to be happening is that when I boot my computer, without opening any programs, if I go to a location where I have a MOV (Quicktime movie file) file, and try to cut and paste it to another folder it gives me the message:
    Cannot move [MOV filename]: It is in use by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
    I have found by using some memory/file monitoring tools that EXPLORER.EXE is opening a handle to the file (accessing it for some reason) and then holding on to that handle thus not allowing me to move the file from one directory to another. By forcing the handles closed, it then allows me to move it, but then immediately maintains it open again, and cannot move it again.
    This only happens with QuickTime MOV files. I have renamed the file to another format, just for kicks basically, and it works fine using another extension. I have also reassociated the MOV files with another app, but still has the same issues.
    I have not run or any applications before this point and especially not anything related to QuickTime. Does anyone have any insight into what might be happening?

    Hello akaMisterAnderson
    I am having the exact problem when I try to rename or move the MOV file. I use Unlocker to determine which process is locking the MOV file and like you have said: it is the Explorer process.
    I hope there will be a patch for this problem soon and if you know of any solution, please inform me.
    Thanks.
