Cant read from source file

I´ve been using Compressor 4 for a long time, but thought I would give AME a try to see if there is any difference in quality. I added about 70 ProRes clips to the render que, each is between 4 and 30 seconds. These are clips with a lot of animation and effects, but they have already been exported to 1920 x 1200 ProRes files. I have 6 different presets: DXV and PhotoJPEG codec with three different resolutions each. When I start the que I get an error message saying that source file cant be read. Please check if it

UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk

Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

Recovery Disk Error : cannot read from source file or disk HOW TO FIX ISSUE

I have had my satellite L655-S5096 for some time now.. I had to switch out hard-drives the other day and installed windows 7 home on it from my own disk. I tried to download all the drivers needed, but the graphics and wifi drivers never worked, so I pulled out the old toshiba disks to start from new with this harddrive.. It gets to asking me for the second disc, then the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM" This is from the "out of the box" setting, which is recommended. I do not know how to fix this issue besides reinstalling windows 7 from my disc and trying to get the drivers to work again.. however I shouldn't have to since I have the Toshiba recovery disks.. do I need new disks?
Yes, I also had the hard drive drivers and all of that installed.. my toshiba reads the HDD just fine.

Can't Read from Source File

Hi Guys
I'm using PPr CS5 on Win7 64bit.
I'm not sure if this is strictly for here but can I pick your brains please? I edited in PPr and exported three versions of the same video to AVI (mainly different intros and titles) and they all play fine. I back up my movies to an external disk but one of them always creates an error in the back-up "Can't Read from Source File". The file sizes are 5.3gb for the offending movie and 8.3 for the other two.
I know the answer is to re-export the movie but I'm just trying to get a bit of a handle what could have caused this problem in the first place and if this is a common problem?
Any views?
Regards,
Graham

That doesn't help much. What exactly are you doing when you get the error message?
Are you trying to open a PP project which contains the file?
Are you trying to play a sequence which has clips from that file?
Are you trying to play it in a media player?
Are you trying to import the file into PP?

AME cannot read from source file???

THE SOLUTIONS POSTED ON THE ADOBE SITE (see below) FOR THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT WORK!!!! Any other suggestions Adobe???
Do one or both of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Close all Adobe applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Re-install your Adobe software.

Solution 2 did not work. I have been using adobe software for seven years and do not have 'other' problems. The only piece of info I can gather off the forum is that when you have replaced CS3 from a system with CS4, some remnants of CS3 remain to reek havoc. I have isolated the problem to the project file, but still can not get the sequence I need to export or import into another project.

.exe reading from Excel files

Hi everybody,
I know similar questions have been asked lots of times but while searching the forum didn't find an anwer to my problem.
I created an exe file (using exe4j) of a java application which reads form Excel files. Although it works when I run it from my editor, when running the exe file it cant find the Excel file. More specifically I have this error:
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
In order to read from excel files I use POI. I used it so as not to use ODBC driver and make it possible to run in every computer. When adding the driver, the exe works.Do you know a way to make it work without having to install the Driver?
Thanks in Advance

You need database drivers to read excel spread sheets?
Also, why did you make it an exe? just jar it and be done with it.

How to open saved files using 'read from text file' function

Hi everyone, I am having a hard time trying to solve the this particular problem ( probably because I am a newb to lanbview ). Anyway , I am able to save the acquired waveforms by using the 'Write to text file' icon. I did manually modify the block diagram of the 'Write to text file' icon and create the correct number of connector so as to make my program work. But now I have no idea on how to modify the block diagram of the 'Read from text file' block diagram to make my program 'open' my saved waveforms. Or i do not have to modify anything from the block diagram of the 'Read from text file'? Can anyone teach/help me connect up? Do i need the build array on the "open" page?
Here are some screenshots on part of my program
let me know if you guys would need more information / screenshots thank you!

Ohmy, thanks altenbach. oh yeah i forgot about those sub VIs. will upload them now. Was rather demoralized after reading the comments and really struck me on how weak i'm at on labview really hope to get this done. But of course i have to study through and see how it works. Actually i am going to replace those 'signal generators sub vi' with ThoughtTechonology's sample code so i can obtain data waveforms real-time using Electrocardiography (ECG) ,Electromyography (EMG ) and Electroencephalography (EEG) hopefully i can find out how to connect the sample code.
( ps . cant connect it now unless my program is working otherwise labview will crash )
( p.s.s the encoder of my biofeedback trainer already acts as an DAQ so i wont need to place an DAQ assistant in my block diagram i suppose )
The sample code of ThoughtTechnology is named as attachment.ashx.vi. too bad i cant use it and present it as my project

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

"Could not read from source" exporting on Mac with CS4

I'm using Premiere CS4 on a MacBook Pro, trying to export a film and getting the "could not read from source" message. I did not have CS3, and I'm not on a pc, so the Windows KB articles and posts don't apply. I've read all the posts I can find on the forums but none of these solutions is helping to date.
Are there any troubleshooting steps someone can recommend to figure out what I need to do here?

I have been having the same issue on my desktop and laptop, although I have Windows XP Professional. Originally had CS3 and then installed CS4. The problem was fixed by uninstalling everything Adobe (even Reader), using the wincs3sclean, and reinstalling the CS4 products. The first time it did't work on my laptop, so I did it a second time and it worked. I don't have Creative Suite, but this still works. Here is the link to wincs3clean:

Read From Measurement File... removes X Values of first column?

During one of our tests, two instruments were switched at the terminal by accident. I need to read in the massive lvm files, remove the wrong scaling and apply the correct scaling, while switching the values in the columns and right it all to new files. Simple right?
I wanted to use the Read from Measurement File.vi to make things easier, because the files are very large and I would like to analyze them 100 rows at a time. Some of the the files are around 1.5 Gigs in size so I need to read them in chunks.
The read from measurement file keeps removing the first column from the data! It outputs the data as a signal (dynamic data) and I have to use the dynamic to numeric array express vi. For some reason, before I even get to that point, the first column is not in the data.
No matter what settings I pick on the read from measurement express vi, the time column is removed from the data. I have checked/unchecked the "first row is channel names" and "first column is time channel" to no avail. The odd thing is that in the preview it shows the first column, as if it will read it properly... but it doesnt. Nothing I change in the settings can seems to make a difference in getting the first column, the x values, out of the file.
Below you can see the first column completely removed from the data.
This is extremely frustrating. By probing the signal out I can see the dynamic data attributes and the time column has already been removed, so I don't think that the signal to double array express vi is the problem, but I am not sure.
I am attaching my VI and a small data file to be analyzed. You can see what I mean.
The alternatives seem less than adequate. The read from spreadsheet file vi wants an offset of a specific number of characters not rows. The problem is that this is not constant between rows for some reason, when hidden characters are taken into account so I cant just set the number of characters in 100 rows and increment the offset in a loop... like I normally would. That means I might miss data or get a corrupted row.
This means that I have to use the read from text file, read how ever many characters I think a row is (over estimating a bit) then search for the newline character, find out how many chars are in that set and then offset that for the next loop iteration, all while converting each string number to a double. Talk about slow.
I have searched around and found that I am not the only one that has had this issue. This is a common thing, but no one seems to have the answer. Why can't the read from measurement file VI read all of the numbers in every row? Why cant I tell it I want a 2d array of doubles out and not a dynamic data type? It has to be something I am doing wrong.
Attached is a zip file with my VI and two data files. The "S19_A_DSI_detensioning_c.lvm" is the one generated by my VI (_c meaning corrected). "S19_A_DSI_detensioning.lvm" is the original measurement file. I hope you will pardon my messy VI, it's a quicky.
Any help you guys can give would be much appreciated.

Scaling Factor Correction.zip ‏1109 KB

That is a great workaround. The help talked about putting a check next to "read lines" but for the life of me I couldn't find where to do that. I wonder what other VIs have mystery check options in the right mouse click menu. I mean normally options like those are inputs, I thought. I'm going to start right clicking on every VI I drop to see if there are options there I never realized.
I would still have to use the set file position VI and specify the byte offset right? How would I know where that is? I guess each character is a byte and I would count the characters in the string retrieved and then offset by that amount on the next iteration using a shift register?
While waiting for help, I ended up using the read from text file and using the match string to look for the new line character, and using the spreadsheet string to array vi, analyzed the files line by line. Thats just because I couldn't easily come up with a regular expression to get 100 lines. It was slow but it worked.
However, that still really doesn't answer the question of why it is impossible to get the first column with the read from measurement file express VI. Does anyone know? Is this a known bug?

Help: Servlet can't read from properties file

I am working on a web application running in Tomcat on Linux.My java source file reads some parameters from a properties file (data.properties)in the same directory. This works well in a simple application. However, if it is used in the Tomcat environment, it can't be read by a servlet file (LoginServlet.java). I put both the "LoginServlet.class" and "data.properties" in the following directory: /webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes. When I run the web application in Tomcat, the error is "data.properties not found". What is the problem? Do I need to modify my "web.xml" and/or Tomcat's "server.xml"? If so, how to modify them?
This web application contains a lot of serlets. So I don't want to hardcode the parameters into the servlet codes.
Any info will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!:)

Putting the properties file in webapps/myapp may or may not help.
My assumption is that you are trying to open the file by brute force, with something like
InputStream propis = new FileInputStream ("data.properties");
Properties props = new Properties ( );
props.load (propis);
What you want is to have the class loader find a file in the same place as the class file, and give you back an input stream reading from that file, which you can then pass to the Properties.load(InputStream) method. This is called a "resource," and the way to do it is:
InputStream propis = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("data.properties");
// remaining code as above
This will cause the class loader for the servlet context (a/k/a the Web application) to find the file in the same manner as it might find a class, but instead of treating it as compiled JVM code, and loading it, it simply passes you back an InputStream from which you do whatever you want.
Cheers!

Best Practive - One mapping reading multiple source files

I want to develop a solution for one single mapping reading multiple similar source files that are stored on different directories on my OWB server. I want to be able to determine on runtime of my mapping from what location to load the source file from.
Example:
Mapping: Load_test_data
source file 1: c:\input\loc1\test.dat
source file 1: c:\input\loc2\test.dat
When I run the mapping I would like to use an input parameter specifying the location loc1 or loc2. I would also like to use this input parameter in my mapping to populate one column in my target table with the value of this input parameter. This design would make it possible to dynamically load source files from different directories and also being able to see after loading where the data came from.
Questions:
- Is there a way to create such a design
- If not, what alternative would be appropriate.
Thanks in advance for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I do not use workflow together with my OWB.
I now indeed specified the file name and file location in the configuration of my mapping. However I am not able to change then upon executing the mapping. Data file name and file location are empty and greyed out when I execute my mapping. It always takes the values I specified in the configuration of my mapping
What I would like to do is specify the location upon runtime when I execute my mapping, but I don't know if this is possible. In addition I'd also want to use the data file location as an input parameter for one of the columns I populated in my target table.
Then in the end I would be able to use one mapping and read multiple sources files from different locations and also be able to check in the end where the data was loaded from.
Hope you can give me some more feedback on how to set this up in OWB.
Many Thanks!

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
     * @param args [0] = source filename
     *        args [1] = destination filename
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length != 2) {
            System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
            System.exit(1);
        File in = new File(args[0]);
        long fileLength = in.length();
        long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (in);
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (args[1]);
        FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
        FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
        fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
        fis.close();
        fos.close();
        t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
        NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
        System.out.print (nf.format(fileLength/1024.0) + "kB copied");
        if (t > 0) {
            System.out.println (" in " + t + "ms: " + nf.format(fileLength / 1.024 / t) + " kB/s");
}

Compiling a package from source files

I am trying to install a package from source files. The installation instructions for this package say that I should just download the scripts to one directory, enter the correct paths in the Makefile (which comes with the package) and run "make".
The problem is that while the g++ compiler is there on my computer
(there is a binary called g++ located at
/Developer/usr/bin/g++
I am not sure if that is the real compiler. Or where the c header files are, for instance, I can't find math.h, or stdio.h or any of the other standard files.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am very new to command lines, so please explain as you would to a five year old.
To help with specifics, I edited the Makefile so that the first part looks like:
#MATLABDIR ?= /usr/local/matlab
# for Mac
MATLABDIR ?= /Applications/MATLAB_R2008b.app
CXX ?= g++
#CXX = g++-4.1
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wconversion -O3 -fPIC -I$(MATLABDIR)/extern/include
Thanks a ton for the help

Your compiler program is gcc. (/usr/bin/gcc).
http://gcc.gnu.org/
in terminal type (at the prompt):
gcc --version
(press return)
should output the following:
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
If it does, your compiler is alive and kicking and ready for action, if not, reinstall developer tools
package from your SL install DVD.
The usual ritual for compiling is to drag the directory containing the source code to your desktop,
then, in terminal, change terminal path to the source directory using the change directory command
"cd".
example; say I have a program called cdrtools 2.0.1 and the source is in a folder I dragged to my
desktop called cdrtools_2.0.1:
In terminal i would type:
cd /Users/kj/Desktop/cdrtools_2.0.1
Follow the instructions that come with the package. Typically they will tell you to:
./configure
( Many packages have a configure script which will query your system and configure themselves
appropriately. Not supported by all software).
make
( Compile the software. Some require a file name to build such as make foo. make reads a file
normally called Makefile for what commands to run).
make install
( Install the software. Typically packages will put themselves in /usr/local. Run as root).
That is the usual ritual, but you must follow the instructions that come with the software, as they
may vary.
Read documentation!
Look for files called: INSTALL, README, SETUP, or similar.
For more information see the following:
http://luv.asn.au/overheads/compile.html
Now beware that some source code written before Snow Leopard was released may not compile
properly on SL, because of SL's 64Bit gcc extensions. If the source has not been updated to run
under the Snow Leopard compiler, then the compilation may fail.
IF the program fails to compile, or fails to run after compiling, then most likely, then the source
may need updating.
