Canon HG10 :Merging mov files and output on a Mac

Hi,
I'm on MacOSX 10.5.8 and currently working on a little video project.
I must admit my ignorance on the subject is comparable to my grandma asking how to send an email. So please be nice
I have several .mov videos imported from my Canon HG10 at the highest resolution (which according to Quicktime Movie Inspector is 1888x1062 - FPS 29.97).
Now I need to a) merge all of them into one file and b) convert the output onto a much lighter but still good quality format (H.264 mp4?).
I spent a good few hours on iMovie but since I don't need to edit the video it looked like I was pretty much wasting my time.
Could anyone give me a quick 1-2-3 on how to do the above (hopefully there's some "lamers" solution out there)?
Cheers!

Here's Avids answer:
Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
Thanks again.

Read from .txt file and output the content as two arrays

I am using the contoured move to control the x-y stage. The trajectory datas for x and y axis are generated using my interpolation program and it is stored in a .txt file as two columns. What I want to do is read .txt file and output the content of this file as two arrays. Is there anyone has any ideas? Thanks, the .txt file is attached.

Hi Awen,
This is quite easy to do, you can merely use the "read from spreadsheet file" function to get a 2D array (2 columns and n rows) and then use the index array function to get whatever row/colums you want..
Hope the attached VI helps you

I can open the .mov files and they play smooth as silk in QT Pro at full rez.
When I import the .mov files into PP on the timeline and go to play, I get stalling, horrible framerates (on the order 3 fps), intermittent muting in the audio. Horrible. Help ! I sunk a lot of money into this state of the art rig to edit uncompressed HD video from my Canon 5d Mark II, and yet
I am at my wit's end. The .mov files from my Canon 5D mark II are allegedly 1080p, 30fps h.264 (?). How do I get PP to play and scrub through smoothly uncompressed on the timeline ?
Thanks

John,
Byron, the British Poet, has a great pair of lines in one of his works that is very appropriate here:
'These thorns are of the tree I planted.
They tear me and I bleed...'
For a New Yorker, I detect a certain glaring lack of the built-in up- front protective cynicism about product promotion that I would have expected to find. :) WTF is an appropriate afterthought though. And it does establish that you at least got some of the proper upbringing to be a bona fide New Yorker :)
By the way, do not hold your breath until an Adobe rep steps forward to offer a rebuttal for misleading advertising. That's even less likely than a real New Yorker apologizing for saying FU. And, don't be surprised if that is not the only instance of gilding the lily you will discover in Adobe--or many other--software product claims.
However, you can get your money back from Adobe, though, if you haven't had it too long. They are quite good about that. And, they were up front about the QTP requirement. And they do have some great products, like AE, that actually live up to the advertising.
And, most importantly, out of all this you have certainly learned one half of the lesson necessary for a successful relationship with new software--Read the forum, search the web for 'X Software Problems' and hit the other related forums like DVI, etc.
Now for the other half, the cherry on top, the most important step before buying: Are you Ready!
DOWNLOAD A TRIAL VERSION AND TEST THE #$%@ OUT OF IT WITH YOUR CAMERA GEAR ON YOUR COMPUTER CONFIGURATION BEFORE YOU BUY. And it never hurts to try the competition's software before you jump.
Never, absolutely never, take any marketing claim from any software producer to be necessarily true to YOUR computing requirements.
As a potentially full fledged New Yorker (with a bit of re education, that is)I'm sure you will appreciate my F&%$#$G candor :)

What can I do to improve a blurry quicktime video that was SMS'd to me it is a 1.24MB .mov file and I have QuicktimePro. It was taken on an Iphone but I am not sure with what software.

What can I do to improve a blurry Quicktime video that was SMS' texted to me? I think it was taken on an Iphone and it was sent to me as a 1.24MB .mov file and I have Quicktime Pro if that helps. I REALLY need to make this as clear as possible, the audio is good, video is blurry. Here is some additional data:

anything I can even try? Sender is off the grid? I don't need a production ready copy just viewable?
You can rescale (stretch) the size of the display but this will only make it blurier and/or introduce pixellation. When the file was encoded at a lower resolution much of the original data was thrown away to make the file smaller. This data is gone/missing and cannot be recreated from what is left. What you've got is all you have to work with. Any filters you can apply will require re-compressing the file again which will likely introduce more artifacts and increase the size of the file without really improving its overasll quality.

Printing messages in Log File and Output File using Dbms_output.put_line

Hi,
I have a requirement of printing messages in log file and output file using dbms_output.put_line instead of fnd_file.put_line API.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
I tried using a function to print messages and calling that function in my main package where ever there is fnd_file.put_line. But this approach is not required by the business.
So let me know how I can achieve this functionality.
Regards
Sandy

What is the requirement that doesn't allow you using fnd_file.put_line?

Where are you having problems?

Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
MOV file is as follows:
4.08GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Duration: 12:33

I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.

First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,
Doug

In trace file and output file showing bind variable instead of value

Hi,
database 9i
optimizer = choose(for cost based)
In my trace file and output file showing bind variable instead of value.
in my trace file 20 queries.
I alse set this parameter in session level.
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 4';
but still showing traceoutput file bind variable.
Pls help its very urgent

Can you post the query for which the bind variable values are not being shown and the trace output for the same?
Probably it is listed down somewhere when you actually executed the query among the others. Try completely analyzing your trace file..

Songs show up as "QuickTime movie file" and won't share or sync

I have a few mp3 audio files in iTunes that aren't being transferred to my iPod (3G) and aren't showing up when I share my iTunes library to another computer, and I can't figure out why.
The filenames have ".mp3" extensions. When I do a 'Get Info' on them in the Finder, they're identified as "MP3 Audio File". Running 'file' on them from a Terminal window says "MP3 file with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag". They play just fine in iTunes as well as in QuickTime Player.
But when I do a 'Get Info' on them from within iTunes, iTunes says each one is a "QuickTime movie file". And when I access this computer's shared music from iTunes on another computer on my network, everything shows up except these tracks; and when I sync my iPod, everything shows up except these tracks. I don't get any error messages.
Why does iTunes think these songs are movie files, and how do I correct it?

You can correct this by running the script on this web page.

HT1449 Can I just move my movie files and leave my music files where they are?

Can I just move my movie files and leave my music files where they are?

Yes, but bear in mind if you move the movie files, any files, from the iTunes media folder iTunes will not know where they are and therefore cannot access them. It will be up to you to tell iTunes were they are in order to use the files.

Use Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining destination contents

I have been struggling trying to setup Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining the destination contents. Basically, I need to add files at the destination, within the same folder structure that exists at the source. Here's some details about the scenario:
-I have PDF files that I create on a seperate computer than I my daily use machine
-For security reasons, the source computer doesn't have access to any shares on the destination computer
-The destination computer has access to shares on the source computer
-I want to delete the original PDFs at the source after they are moved or copied
I haven't been able to get Automator to move or copy the folder contents (files and subfolders) without dropping everything copied at the top level of the destination, resulting in many duplicate folders and a broken folder structure.
So far I've only had luck getting this to work at the command line, but I'd really like to have this setup in Automator so that I could have either a service or application that I could use for any folder, prompting for the source and destination folders. I'm a relatively new Mac user with limited Linux experience, so this is the command that I've cobbled together and currently accomplishes what I'm looking for:
ditto /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE ~/Desktop/Documents/DESTINATION
cd /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE
find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec rm -f {} \;
Thanks for any ideas!

If you have a command-line syntax that works, why not just create an Automator workflow with a single 'Utilities -> Run Shell Script' action, where that action has your (working) shell commands?
Seems way, way simpler to me than trying to reinvent the wheel and transcribe shell commands into individual Automator actions

Using command creates a copy.
If you want to just move a file, click on it, hold it and drag it to the new location.
