Compressing File from Media Composer to Burn to DVD

I've got a project that was shot on a Canon GL-2 Standard Definition Camera in 16:9 Anamorphic (Shot in a 4:3 Frame then the software readapts it to 16:9. I've figured out how to get compressor to properly display it in 16:9 however the issue I have now is when I burn the DVD the image rips with motion.
Thus I believe there to be an issue with Interlacing. So I'm wondering what the best way to fix this would be? I'm exporting from Avid as a Quicktime Reference then putting that into Compressor and using the 120 Best Quality DVD Pre-Set modified to display the video file in 16:9

I think it could be an issue with how Compressor interacts with the Avid codec. I question if Compressor was ever designed to do this. I haven't had a lot of success with older SD Avid movies being converted for FC to use in edit and then having them look great.
Although the file will be huge you may want to export another format from Avid that would be more friendly for Compressor. Besides H264 I'm not sure what that would be but I would suggest trying a 1 minute test with some of the more complex footage.

Reading a Compressed File from a ZIP File, which is an entry of ZIP File

Hello, Experts,
Would it be possible somebody to help me with code example for the following problem?
I want to read a compressed file from a ZIP file, which is an entry of ZIP File, without extacting/writing files on file system. Is this possible?
Lets say we have a ZipFile1. There is ZipFile2 inside ZipFile1. And inside ZipFile2 is FileA. The scenario is reading FileA without extracting on file system.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers
RADY

The classes you want to be using are java.util.zip.ZipInputStream and and ZipEntry from the same package. Construct the ZipInputStream with the input you have for the outer zip. Loop with ZipInputStream.getNextEntry until you find the inner zip you're looking for - that method returns a ZipEntry, and you get the name of the zip entry with ZipEntry.getName. Read the ZipInputStream from that point into some buffer, and read that buffer into a new ZipInputStream - rinse and repeat until you have the contents of the file in the zip in the zip...

How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014?

Nonsense.
Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out.

Compressing files from CD

How do I compress files that I've saved to iTunes from CD? They are taking up lots of space on the iPod.

You need to convert them to a different format then update your iPod. Converting creates duplicate files in iTunes so you will either have to delete the larger ones or alternatively create a playlist specifically for the iPod that contains the compressed ones. If you go for a playlist, the simplest thing to do to manage the iPod would be to change the update setting to "automatically update selected playlists only" and select your list of compressed songs:
How to convert a song to a different format
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

How to read compressed files from unix on 10gR2 EE?

We have large historical data stored as text files on operating system and compressed because our free disk space is very limited. Rarely because of data quality or legal needs we need to read these information.
So I thought of unix pipes(mknod), reading while uncompressing through a pipe similar to this example; http://www.orafaq.com/faqunix.htm#EXPORT
but this method is very slow.
Is it possible to SELECT these compressed files, maybe a custom Oracle driver for external tables you may heard of?
Thank you.

There are no oracle drives to read from an external zipped file. You could uncompress the file to a named pipe and read the sqlloader from the pipe:
$ mknod fifo.dat p
$ uncompress the file and redirect it to the > fifo.dat & #pseudocode
Let SQLLDR read from the Named Pipe:
sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=load.ctl data=fifo.dat
It isn't guaranteed to be faster, just convenient for you not to uncompress the complete file prior to perform the sqlload operation.

Streaming .FLV files from Media Server 4.5 using PHDS

I would like to stream .FLV files from adobe media server 4.5.
Requirements state that the files should be considered secret, so I decided that PHDS sounds like the
right thing.
I was able to stream an .FLV by placing it in the webroot/vod folder using an url like http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However the developer manual states that a way to enable PHDS at the server level is to uncomment the two lines like this.
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod"
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
# for this location.
   EncryptionScope server
   ProtectionScheme phds
</Location>
</IfModule>
However I am not able to stream my FLV using url like http://myserver/hds-vod/test.flv
Question : Am I supposed to use the hds-vod in the URL or is /vod doing the same ?
                  Is the approach correct, or should the files go into an applications\myapplication\media folder ?
                  I will need some server side actionscript to validate access to the stream, is that possible without a dedicated application ?

Hi,
When you use the vod location directive you're basically using Progressive download so your URL is as : http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However, when you use the location directive hds-vod, it is HTTP Streaming, where the fragments are created on the fly. For this your URL needs to be as : http://myserver/hds-vod/test.f4v.f4m
Please note .flv files are not supported for HTTP streaming (via hds-vod location directive). You cannot use PHDS with .flv files.
Thanks,

How do I create a shared library from iPhoto when the file is too large to burn on DVD?

I need to remove some photos (70 GB) to relieve a full hard drive. I have exported and burned .jpg images on DVDs, but that is only useful as a worst case backup. What I would like to have is a separate iPhoto Library for each calendar year of photos, so I could still view them in the albums and folders I have created to organize them. I have done this before in an earlier version of iPhoto, and was able to create 2003 iPhoto Library, 2004 iPhoto Library, etc. I put a copy on DVD (the full year fit on 1 DVD) and another copy on an external drive.
I am having problems doing this with iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2). The iPhoto library for each year is too large to burn on DVD. When I select certain albums from the year that will fit on DVD and use the Share>Burn commands, it creates a library with Events and Faces, but none of the albums are listed on the left. The albums are important to organize the photos for viewing (birthdays, vacations, holidays, etc.) I didn't always pay attention to labeling Events when I imported photos, so that is not an adequate alternative to my albums.
I was thinking that if I could create a library for the entire year, it might include my albums and folders. I would have space for this on my external hard drive. However, I can find no way to create a library for the entire year and put it on my external drive - the only option is to burn a DVD or export .jpg images.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

Has anyone had the iMac erase all files in a folder when burning a dvd of some of the file. All that remain are the files that I burned.

I had a folder that contained picture, both raw and jpgs from a trip that I had taken. I wanted to burn a dvd of the folder that had 9 subfolders in it. I got a message that it was too large. I told it what directory I wanted and it created the dvd. I when to get some additional files and all of my pictures, under each of the subfolders are gone. The only thing that is under the subfolders is the directory that I burned to dvd. Has anyone else had this problem? If so were you able to recover the pictures? I do have the backed up but am currently out of town and will not be back for a month.
Thanks
Mike Booher

First Welcome to the Discussions.
Depending on the Burning Software are you using. IF you drag the folder with the sub folders in the original folder if it is to large it will not burn it.
Your best option is to seperate the Original Folder in 1/2 and then try to burn it on 2 seperate DVD's this way you would meet the size critera for the software.
If you had good burning Software and were able to use dual layer it probably would have burned the entire folder and it would have fit.
If you continue to have issues after I have explained it to you come back and someone will help you.
Just remember that Apples burning Software is entry level and doesn't have the functions of the top of the line in burning Software, Like Roxio, or DVD FAB, these 2 give you so many more options.

How do I convert videos taken from iphone 3gs to burn to dvd

how do I convert videos taken from iphone 3gs to burn to dvd

http://handbrake.fr/
Of course you'll also need some kind of software to actually burn the DVD.

Why does my mac say the file is too big to burn on DVD when it isn't?

I'm trying to burn a file on DVD. The file is 2.1 gigs, the DVD is supposed to be able to hold 4.7 gigs, but it keeps telling me the file is too big!
Anticipating a question: 2.1 gigs is the actual size according to "get info", not the size of the alias on my burn disk.
And, if this matters, I'm backing up a folder with four items inside. My Entourage "identity" folder.
Thanks in advance!

Repair permissions and restart your computer. Try burning the dvd again. If the issue still occurs use VisualHub (direct download). VisualHub will turn the video file into a dmg that you should be able to burn. Other resources - Video Monkey and Toast.

Can compose email, send and receive however, cannot attach files from media card.

When I click the blackberry button and got to attach, the only options I get are Picture and Contact. How do I attach doc or xls files that are saved on my media card? I have checked the file sizes and it's less that 10 k so file size is definitely not an issue.

Before you do that, try doing a factory reset.
This will remove any IT Policy and resturn the BlackBerry to original settings.
Follow the steps in KB18998
If the option still is missing, then contact your point of sale or mobile carrier.
Let me know how you make out

How to delete a prerecodered file from mediant 1000

Hi!
I want previously to excuse, my English is not perfect, And sorry if i write to wrong part of forum.
Following the advices from this theme I have installed a prerecodered file in our Mediant 1000
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/communicationsservertelephony/thread/6aff1763-347a-4315-b2ee-18715cf13652
but since last time we hear a terrible noise while holding any call in lync, for example, if I calling to our call center and ask them to readdress the call to another number, so I'll be hear the noise for all holding time. This noise can be covered by the
music, enabled in lync client settings (DefaultHold.wma) but it isn't a solution. Because the man, who was readdressed the call to will hear the noise for 1-2 seconds just at the moment when he pick up the phone. This is not good at all
After all testing manipulations I've came to a conclusion that something wrong happened in our MEdiant 1000. I've deсided to disable the playing of prerecodered file.
So I've switched the PLAYHELDTONEFORIP2IP to 0 and reset the gateway. It was useless. Then I've saved the config ini file to PC to delete the "PrerecordedTonesFileName " parameter and loaded it to mediant. It was useless too, the noise was still
appeared.
Then I decided to reload the prerecodered file, but I saw an error message with: "ECOV:File write error:Failed to delete current PRT buffer. Code 40525". It's obviously the last .dat file is still there although i deleted it.
So what should I do?I suppose that if i could delete the file the noise will disappeare, because i think it will be nothing to make a noise any more.
Thank you for any advice!
Best regards from Russia, Olga.

I would recommend you to consult the AudioCodes engineer. Or you may do the factory reset and reconfigure.

GB 08-Importing mp3 file from media browser---does this affect source file?

Hello again,
Another question...
I imported an mp3 from my iTunes folder into GB (to jam over). I did this via the media browser, and it came in fine. I next wanted to create a looped rhythm segment from that file to jam over. I know how to do this, and then add it as a loop to the library. However, does this alter the source file at all (in the iTunes folder)? Do I need to make a copy of this in the GB folder first before I start splicing? I think I read that GB will not alter files, just "regions" but I wanted to make sure.
On a related note, does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)? So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
Thanks!

However, does this alter the source file at all
no
does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)?
yes, and no. originally, yes, but once saved as a loop, that little clip is saved as it's own file to your lib
So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
same as above. it will in the first case, won't in the second
