Cant get a clean movie file

hi all
I am expoerting a movie from final cut pro 5 with compressor. I have used the settings for DVD fast encode and high quality.
The problim is that everytime i use compressor and then play back the movie files they look corupted. They have alot of digital break up and sometimes skip or jump frames.
Has anybody got any advice on how to fix this please.
Thanks in advance
mike

It's not really possible to diagnose your problem given that you've provided so little information on your encoding method, source video, and/or your playback and evaluation method(s). NTSC or PAL, standard definition DV or HD, interlaced or progressive, frame rates, field dominance settings? What exactly do you mean by "digital break up?"
I assume that you are using the latest updates to FCP v5, Compressor 2, QuickTime 7, and Apple's Pro Application Support. I further assume that you are not trying to use presets that were either imported or derived from Compressor v1.x (that will not work, a documented problem).
Furthermore, have you tried using a range of different source video (not all based upon the same capture session or materials). Has your source video gone through any form of post processing other than simple cuts and scene transitions? What about frame rate conversion, deinterlacing, color correction, scaling, etc?
Finally, what you are reporting is not common -- at least not common based upon my understanding of your problem -- but as I noted you haven't provided many details so it's hard to know what you are actually seeing.
Here is the link to Apple's warning about using v1.x presets with Compressor 2.

Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;
String dbRecord = null;
String hold;
try {
File f = new File("customer.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
Vector dataVector = new Vector();
Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
Vector row = new Vector();
// read the record of the text database
while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
row.addElement(st.nextToken());
System.out.println("Inside nested loop: " + row);
System.out.println("inside loop: " + row);
dataVector.addElement(row);
System.out.println("outside loop: " + row);
headVector.addElement("Title");
headVector.addElement("Type");
dataTable = new JTable(dataVector, headVector);
dataTableScrollPane.setViewportView(dataTable);
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch io errors from FileInputStream or readLine()
System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!" + e.getMessage());
} finally {
// if the file opened okay, make sure we close it
if (dis != null) {
try {
dis.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
} // end if
} // end finally
} // end dbTest

Here's a thread that loads a text file into a JTable:

And my reply in this thread shows how you can use a text file as a simple database:

Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
<true/>
in the
<iPhone>
<Entitlements>
<![CDATA[
I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store. In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

Did you ever solve your problem?
I just transfered my web hosting and e-mail to bluehost. I had some of the same problems you are having. I noticed you have your incoming server set to bluehost.
Incoming mail server: (SSL) box610.bluehost.com (sever requires authentication which I already have done)
If bluehost is your server this is what worked for me:
Account Information
Account type— POP
Description—anything you want
Email Address—in your case would be [email protected]
Full name— first and last name
Incoming server—mail.magnus.com
User name—[email protected] Notice it is the @ symbol not a +
password— your password . Remember they are case sensitive
Outgoing Mail server—select edit smpt server list from the drop down window
select the + to add a server

How to get self-contained .mov files without FCE opening up?

Hi all experts,
I have fully rendered my first file, which is a simple text animation.
I did Export > QuickTime Movie. I am sure I tick the MAKE MOVIE SELF CONTAINED box.
When I quit FCE, I went to search for that .mov file. When I click at the file, FCE project file open up as well !!
If I copy this file for my friends, when they click at it, will they be able to see it if they do not have FCE ?
Thanks

Sometimes it helps to change the 'opens with' info. Right-click on the file and choose 'Get Info.' In the "Opens With" box, change from FCE to QuikcTime Player.

Thanks David.
I really didn't know that there is such a thing. But hey, thanks for teaching me !!
Problem Solved.
Thanks again
Cheers

Cant get Rid of These Files

No matter what I do, I cant empty the TRASH of these 2 files (see photo below)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2310/21462962358dd3f025a4o.png
I can move them from the TRASH binn and they disappear, but them when I go back to the TRASH (for whatever reason) they are there once again. I did see a folder in the with the name 501 and was wondering if the User has something to do with this???
I WAS able to get rid of THAT but the oters remain, right now, in my TRASH bin.

Try holding down the option key while emptying the trash. If that doesn't you might want to read this thread to see if any of the suggestions there work for you.

There are also some fixes for trash problems in this KB article.

Cant get sound on .avi file

I have a file that needed the XviD codec, and I installed it. But now I dont have sound...
I went to the site again with my 3 pc's running XP home, XP Media Center, and Vista Ultimate and downloaded the codec and the video works perfectly fine. (Downloaded the proper codec for each OS).
Can anyone help me figure out how to get sound? I know it isnt the video, because it works fine on my 3 pc's. Also, one of my movies has the audio encoded with "AC-3" codec or something.... Can someone give me a link to download the proper "ac-3" codec for Mac?

Thanks for the help. I got all to play. But they are missing the audio.
Most of the Videos are
"XviD 1.0 Codec, 616 x 336, Unknown
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz"
And the last video is
"XviD 1.0 Codec, 768 x 432, Millions
AC3, 5.1 (L R C LFE Ls Rs), 48.000 kHz"
I checked to make sure that it wasn't my sound messed up... or on mute. And I am able to hear stuff from Safari and Front Row.

Get Info on .mov file resolution information is missing

Hi - I have captured some video on my Imac with the built in Isight camera it shoes the dimensions 640* 40 and the codec whn I get get info - however when I do the same on my macbook (white) I do not get any more of the same information just last time the file was accessed. Is this to do with the built in isight differences or a config setting ?

How can I tell? The 'get info' window has no lock and under sharing and permissions, on says 'you can only read'. I did a get info on the Macintosh HD and it had a lock on it but said I could only read, for what that it worth.

Can't get Quicktime HD movie files to run smoothly on my iMac G3

I've got a slot loading imac crt/ G3 933mhz 596mb of ram; and updated it to tiger and quicktime 7 pro. Everything was fine. I marvelled at HD quicktime movies and videos in iTunes, but all of a sudden, any new hd files I download from iTunes or the quicktime site won't play smoothly. I found a shockwave file doing the same thing. It's as if my broadband has suddenly gone 56k. I know this isn't the case because I plugged my laptop in to the modem and it's fine. Has anyone else had a similar problem. Perhaps my processor and graphics card can't handle the latest quicktime software. The problem doesn't happen with audio files, and also stll happens to video files after they've completed downloading. The puzzling thing is it was fine until I tried to view previews and trailers in the iTunes store.

Newer H.264 encoded video requires more computer power (and a good video card).
Our G3 machines just can't keep up. Even most of Tiger's "eye candy" will not display on your G3.
Avoid QuickTime content that says "HD" in its name or uses H.264 video. Nothing is wrong with your older iMac. It's just under powered.

Upgraded to yosemite and cant get computers to share files

Got a iMac and MacBook Air. Upgraded both to Yosemite and can not get them to share their hard drives. Have done this for years but no more. Every time I tell them to connect it fails. I am using the exact same accounts on both machines. Same full name, same account name, same password. Can't find anything on the internet. Apple has become just as screwed up as Windows. It's really sad. I am extremely disappointed with them. What the !@#$@#$ has changed?

I installed mountain lion, now i cant get to my word files. I would prefer uninstalling mountain lion to losing my files. Can I just uninstall and have my files back? How do I do that?

I need my word files more than I need mountain lion. Can I uninstall and have my word files back?

If you are unable or unwilling to update to Office 2008 or 2011, you can install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion and continue to use Office 2004 (and most other PowerPC applications) concurrently with Lion or Mt. Lion:

Some .mov files wont work in quicktime player(10.2) and itunes 11.

Hi,i have quicktime player version 10.2 on my os x mountain lion (10.8.2).i am using macbook pro.the problem is i cant play some .mov files on quicktime and itunes 11.i can play this files with other media players such as vlc and quicktime player 7.My real intention was to create a playlist which includes some .mov formatted files on my itunes's sidebar.i have imported some files with the same format to the itunes without any problem but i cant these files.i even cant see these files in finder's preview.and also,i have tried to open this files in my wife's macbook pro,with os x 10.7.5,it opened and played well.
when i try to open these files in quicktime 10.2,the quicktime windows pop ups at the same time.it's trying to open and play files but cant.

Hi,when i use contextual menu's " get info " on .mov file,these things are written:
Dimensions:880x660
Codecs:Sorenson Video 3,MPEG Layer 3,PNG.
While I personally would like to know if the PNG track is being used for the display of a PNG image in the background or foreground or for Motion-PNG video, it probably makes no playback difference here... (I.e., if you have QT 7 Pro installed, it would be nice to get a look at the "Properties" window.) However, if you regularly export to "legacy" codecs like Sorenson or Motion-PNG, then you will need to re-enable your legacy audio and/or video codecs which are, by default, disabled for export use under Mountain Lion.
Basically, this looks like a legacy file (i.e., Sorenson/H.263 video with MP3 audio is a common FLV file codec combination). Since legacy codec support is, in general, being dropped from QT, I would normally recommend keeping both the Perian codec component package and the QT 7 player installed to handle older content which may or may not play in the QT X player any longer.
If these feedback is not enough,can u pls suggest how i can get more information about compression type and codec component of those files ?
If a file will not open in any media player, then the Finder's "Get Info" may provide the most basic information. If a file opens in a media player, then the best thing is to use that app's media information window (window may be called Inspector, Media Info, Clip Info, etc.) to provide additional information. One handy, independent, dedicated utility gor general use would be the free MediaInfo app which can be downloaded from the internet. Since most of my video content targets QT, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and TV use, I normally prefer opening files in QT 7 Pro and examining the content as depicted in both the "Inspector" and "Properties" windows as depicted below:
And also,is there any way to see which codec components i have in my quicktime player ?
Apple "Pro" Editing and third-party add-on codec compnents are normally stored for global use in the "~/Library/Quicktime" folder. Here is the configuration for my system:
System, add-on AppleProResDecoder, and older QT 7 MPEG-2 Playback Component are all stored for blobal use in the "~/System/Library/QuickTime" folder as seen here:
Codec components can also be installed in similar folders for "local user" use in each user account but this practice seems to have generally ceased with the release of Snow Leopard.
Suggest you check to see if your wife's third-party configuration includes the Perian codec component and your system does not since this is the codec which my sytsem defaults to for the playback of Sorenson/MP3 MOV content as seen here:
Good Luck!
