Capturing without compression?

Is it possible to capture video without the DV PAL 48hz compression? I've tried to find a None compression setting..
This would make my projects smoother as I export video from After Effects with None-compression.
Thanks for answers in advance, Erik

DV PAL is already compressed. It is compressed in the camera to tape at 5:1. When you capture the footage from tape, you are doing a simple data transfer, and no further compression occurs. So to work with the footage in AE, just export a Quicktime movie, self contained using the sequence settings and you have a full quality clip.
And Compression: None isn't what you think it is. It is a form of compression. The best way to export out of AE back to FCP is exporting DV/PAL. Or you can export from AE using the Animation codec, as that is the most lossless compression available...however the file sizes get HUGE. Best to export as DV/PAL.

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?

Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?
I went through all my old formats (VHS, hi8, miniDV, etc) and captured them. They end up as .mov files. Some of the longer 2hr ones are about 28GB.
If I am making a new project and I want to edit in short clips from several of these longer files, is there a way to save a short clip from an existing file without compressing it any further?
In other words, lets say I have 10 2hr files, but I know I only want 1 minute from each. Is there a way to select the good 1 minute from each .mov file that I want to use and a version of this 1 minute from each in the folder I am working on the project in, without compressing them??? I like to keep all of the content I am working with on a project in its own folder in case the project needs to be moved from one hard drive to the next while I am working on it. I would hate to have to make a folder that is 280GB or more when I only need a minute from each larger file.
I hope I have asked this in a way that is understandable. Maybe there is a term for what I want to do, that I don't know yet that has its own help section too. Thanks for any assistance

Thanks Jon - That's kind of where I started, but the part of that I need help with on is the second to last step.
"Export using a codec that matches the source material. "
The codec they were captured in is .mov at DV quality, but then after picking .mov, there are so many other options to choose from as far as compression goes from sound quality and settings, to how many passes, etc. I just want the new clip to be of the same quality as the original clip. It looks so complicated and its not clear to me what options to pick to match the original.
Is there a setting or preference that helps you to match the compression settings of the original clip? Or is there a way to detect the settings of the original clip so I can repeat that in the shortened clip??

Upload without compressing

I have a 110 MB FCP movie file. I want to upload the whole file to vimeo, but am unable to do so in this format. I am unable to export this into another format, it seems, without compressing it.
Could someone please tell me how to convert the entire file in order to upload it in its uncompressed form. Thank you..

I used QuickTime Player for the example above.
File > Export > Movie to QuickTime Movie and selected H264 from the Options button.
You could also use Compressor, MPEG Streamclip, Autodesk Cleaner -there are quite a few apps that will do this. Some of which you already have in QuickTime Player and Compressor.
What you need to do is go to vimeo.com and find out what they accept.
Don't get too hung up on how many MB the file size is, the beauty of H264 is that it can produce wonderful results at relatively small file sizes.

All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing

All of a sudden I am unable to attach a file to my email without compressing. The email will show no attached file and then freezes and I am unable to add any content to body of email or change any of the content. I have to just delete the email and start over. If I zip the file it will show up in the body of the email and I am able to add content and send the email. This just stared happening, I had not changed any preferences or anything so I have no idea what happened.

Want to explain - makes no sense since they share the exact same library
It actually that details are critical since we know nothing about your configuration or situation except what you choose to share with us -- including what "everything you can think of" is

How to send an attached folder without compressing?

When using Mail 2.1.3 on 10.4.11 and sending more than one photo, I like to put them in a folder, so they get better organized. However, the application Mail will zip this folder on sending. Sometimes my recipients (on PC) have then difficulties opening this zipped folder. I don't want to tell them "you should install this and that application for unzipping".
In settings of Mail I find no checkbox for this- it does it by itself...
Is there any way to send an attached folder without compressing it, just plain?

Frederick,
thank you for the reply.
Maybe I did not explain clearly enough. Let's say I have ten JPEGs. I make a new folder in Finder, call it "Pictures" or so, put the JPEGs in it and then, after writing the mail, I click "attach" and select the newly generated folder so that it will be attached. In the outgoing window of the mail I see it then as the "Pictures" folder. The recipient then gets the mail with an attachment called "pictures.zip" that calls for an unzip application in order to take a look at those JPEGs.
Now the problem is, Mail app will automatically make a zip out of it. Yes, I have "Send PC-compatible" turned on. I use, b.t.w. plain text, not formatted. Some recipients have no problems with the zip, I know, but some do have.
I want Mail to send the folder without zipping it. Making it a little bit smaller in size is (indeed only a little bit!), in many cases, not necessary and, like I wrote, often only confusing (especially when the recipient PC asks "...this is a programme, do you want it to open?- Of course, most reasonable users are afraid of those messages!).
The point is, my application is doing something that I don't want and I find no way to tell it "please, no".

Which audio format is closes to CD without compression

Which audio format is closes to CD without compression?

Standard audio CDs are only 16-bit PCM at 44.1 KHz sampling rate so there's no point in ripping them at a higher bit depth even if it possible by some third-party software. iTunes will not. If you have other sources for tracks in higher than CD quality (there are some sites that sell in 24-bit quality, and some professional audio apps will do higher bit depths, you'll need to see if any third-party software for iOS can handle that quality; I don't believe that the Music app will.

Exporting song to disk without compression...

if i export a song into disk without compression the file becomes a AIFF stereo 16bit/44,1kHz?
If so I need then to convert it into WAV and i'm trying audacity...
is it just me or it seems that the resulting file sounds worse than the same into AAC 128 KBPS??
how can it be if it's almost 10 times bigger????
thanks!

An AIFF to WAV conversion shouldn't degrade the quality since they are both uncompressed formats. Have you tried doing the conversion in iTunes?

How to add a file to jar without compression using JarOutputStream

Hi,
I just want to know how to add a file without compression to a jar using JarOutputStream. By default the file is compressed when you add it to the JarOutputStream. This option is present when you create a jar using command line mode using the jar tool. Is there something like that in JarOutputStream.
Thanx in advance.

Exporting in the original format without compression

What is the correct export setting to export a sequence to be saved in its original format?
When I use the setting Export - Quicktime Movie - Setting - Current Settings
Include Audio and Video - Make Movie Self Contained, it looks as though I am losing some of the quality when I view the new Quicktime file. Is this my imagination? If it is not, what is the correct way to create a new file with the edited sequence without any compression?
FCP Version 5.1.4

I have taken old Video 8 tape and converted it to a Quicktime file using FCP log and capture. I used the setting DV NTSC 48 kHz. I then imported the file into FCP and did some basic editing such us taking out the "monkey cam" portions and the really boring segments. I want to be able to save the film for more precise editing later without losing any of the quality of the film. I will compress it when I am done with the fine tuning type of editing.
I will compress it later using the setting - DVD Best Qulity 4:3 - Mpeg 2 5.0 Mbps 2-pass 4:3. Then I will take it into DVD Studio to create the DVD and burn it.

Excise Invoice of Captured without PO can't be canceled with J1IEX

Dear all,
I entered the EWPO(Excise Invoice Without PO) from J1IEX transaction with processing mode "A01 Capture Excise
Invoice" and reference document "R06 Without Purchase Order".
But when I cancel it from same transaction, the error below has occurred.
"Excise invoice xxx has already been posted for vendor XXX."
And I couldn't cancel it from J1IS or J1IH transaction, too.
Do you know how to cancel it?
When I asked it to OSS, their answer was as following.
Answer of person in charge 1.
You have to reverse Part 2 with J1IH transaction, and cancel Part 1 with J1I5 transaction.
->(My confirmation result)
    But on the EWPO screen, there are no fields to input the material document number.
    So I couldn't cancel Part 1 portion from J1I5.
Answer of person in charge 2. (escalated from person 1)
You can continue the cancellation from J1IEX with pressing enter key, ignore a message.
->(My confirmation result)
    As that operation result, Excise Invoice "0000000000" was created with status "B" separately.
    But ,, when a new posted EWPO was canceled, the Invoice "0000000000" described above was overwritten.
    This method was not able to be used.
Answer of person in charge 3. (escalated from person 2)
You always have to register a Excise invoice from MIGO transaction.
If you want to receive goods without PO, you can use movement type 501.
And if you register a Excise invoice from J1IEX directly, you can't cancel the EI Part 1.
There are only two ways to cancel the part1
1. By cancelling the material document.
2. By using the J1I5 transaction
The material document is necessary in each case.
The current EWPO function of direct J1IEX is useless.
->(My confirmation result,,,)
    So, what is the EWPO function of below?
   "J1IEX transaction with processing mode "A01 Capture Excise Invoice" and reference document "R06 Without Purchase Order"
Best regards,
Iwana

Dear Padmasri ,
Thank you for your reply.
But,,, as you wrote, that is normal case with PO and GR.
I know that normal process well.
I'm asking about EWPO(Excise Invoice Without PO) case.
As I wrote, EWPO is registered directly from a J1IEX transaction.
(with processing mode "A01 Capture ExciseInvoice" and reference document "R06 Without Purchase Order")
The above-mentioned error occurs the Post mode of J1IEX, or Cancel mode, and cancellation of the Excise Invoice is impossible.
And, since there is no field to input material document number on the screen of J1IEX in that case, a link is not made even GR has posted.
We would like to apply this EWPO to the material which does not manage stocks.
(We would like to deal with only the payment of the expense to a vendor, and the payment of Excise.)
Best regards,
Iwana

Media Encoder (AMC) - resize or crop without compression

any way to just resize or crop an already compressed video clip without another generation of compression?

HI
http://bellunevideo.com/tutorials/EssentialToolkit/EssentialToolkit.html
Jeff is from this forum and if it solves your problem give him the credit please...not me..
Watch that video tutorial and get the free "VirtualDub" program and use the filters to do what you want, saving as AVI...the video tutorial explains a lot.

What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
Thanks in advance.

I only see Share > Export.
Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
I do not want to import pictures one by one...
You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
...and stick them together manually.
Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.

APERTURE users: how do we send full size images without compression? Mail compresses, Drop Box, all that have a tag "badges" next to JPEG under 'Info' in Aperture compress? What can I do, HELP Please.

In Aperture under INFO at bottom it says Badges; if it has an Icon in the block it compresses JPEG image down to KB? Using mail, using drop box with my Aperture and can't figure out how to get rid of 'Badges with the Icon in the box to be able to send full size. Also have been using: "onOne Software" an add on editing program thats awesome, works as a stand alone, Aperture, & Lightroom.
Bottom Line I can't send to lab my web page, or individule without it compressing. Even created a desk top folder droped & dragged in ZIP & still Compression?

See this link: Aperture 3 User Manual: Understanding Badge Overlays
The badges in the Info panel have nothing to do with compression. The tell you, if your image has keywords attached, if it is a raw or jpeg image, if has been externally edited, or if it is referenced.
When you send an jpeg using mail, you need to set the image size in Mail to "Acual Size", otherwise will Mail compress the image. For example:
If you have really large images, Mail may not be optimal, because the server of the recepient may refuse to accept large Mail attachments. In that case export the image from Aperture in the resolution you want with "File > Export" and compress it as a zip file. That will not reduce the quality.
Send the zipped file, if it is small enough, otherwise upload it to an ftp-server.
The receiver can uncompress it.

Footage captured without audio

I'm hoping someone might be able to enlighten me with possible causes of the following issue.
I've been capturing Digi Beta via Kona LH onto an internal drive (not the system drive) as Apple Pro Res HQ PAL. Even thought 2 stereo tracks have been captured, there is no audio on them, but there is audio on the tape.
The same computer has captured to an external FW800 drive without any issues using the same capture settings, also the same since when capturing direct to Fibre optic SAN. Unfortunately due to a crashing problem, I've clean installed Final Cut on the system again so I can't trace much info.
Any thoughts or advice on would could have occurred would be appreciated.
Specs- Intel Quad Core Mac Pro OSX 10.5.8, running Final Cut Pro 6.0.4.

What is your video connection from DigiBeta to the Kona?
SDI or Component?
What is your audio connection from DigiBeta to the Kona?
AES/EBU or Analog or are trying to embed it in the SDI?
Check you AJA control panel to verify where it thinks the audio should come from.
If the source is embedded audio in SDI, make sure the deck is set to send out audio on the SDI cable.
If you did capture audio, you should see levels bouncing on your FCP audio level meter and make sure they show a waveform in the viewer window.
