Compressing to m2v using hdv 1080i source files

hi can anybody help,
when i try to use compressor2 either its default mode or through select dvd best 16/9 90 min options I end up with files that i cannot open like a blank page with an m2v extension and then some strange symbols
best

Unfortunately I have no clue what might me wrong with your software - Compressor and its underlying Qmaster processes are quite susceptible to problems... You may try to search these forums for more information about what could be wrong and how to fix it, or wait for someone more informed willing to help.
The last tips I might give:
1. Make sure you have the latest ProApps updates installed (through Software Update)
2. I understood that by hdv 1080i files you mean QuickTime MOV exported from Final Cut? Try exporting directly from Final Cut sequence to Compressor and see if it makes any difference.

Bulk create Active Directory Users and Groups in PowerShell using Excel XLSX source file instead of CSV

Hi Scripting Guy. I am a Server Administrator who is very familiar with Active Directory, but new to PowerShell. Like many SysAdmins, I often need to create multiple accounts (ranging from 3-200) and add them multiple groups (ranging
from 1 - 100). Previously I used VBS scripts in conjunction with an Excel .XLS file (not CSV file). Since VBS is essentially out the door and PowerShell is in - I am having to re-create everthing.
I have written a PowerShell script that bulk creates my users and adds them to their corresponding groups - however, this can only use a CSV file (NOT an XLS file). I understand that "CSV is much easier to use than Excel worksheets", but
most times I have three sets of nearly identical groups (for Dev, QA and Prod). Performing Search and Replace on the Excel template across all four Worksheets ensures the names used are consistent throughout the three environments.
I know each Excel Worksheet can be exported as a separate CSV file and then use the PowerShell scripts as is, but since I am not the only SysAdmin who will be using these it leads to "unnecessary time lost", not to mention the reality that even
though you clearly state "These tabs need to be exported using this naming standard" (to work with the PowerShell scripts) that is not the result.
I've been tasked to find a way to modify my existing PowerShell/CSV scripts to work with Excel spreadsheets/workbooks instead - with no success. I have run across many articles/forums/scirpts that let you update Excel or export AD data into an Excel
spreadsheet (even specifying the worksheet, column and row) - but nothing for what I am trying to do.
I can't imagine that I am the ONLY person who is in this situation/has this need. So, I am hoping you can help. How do I modify my existing scripts to reference "use this Excel spreadsheet, and this specific worksheet in the spreadsheet
prior to performing the New-ADUser/Add-ADGroupMember commands".
For reference, I am including Worksheet/Column names of my Excel Spreadsheet Template as well as the first part of my PowerShell script. M-A-N-Y T-H-A-N-K-S in advance.
   Worksheet: Accounts
     Columns: samAccountName, CN_DisplayName_Name, sn_LastName, givenName_FirstName, Password, Description, TargetOU
   Worksheets: DevGroups / QAGroups / ProdGroups
    Columns: GroupName, Members, MemberOf, Description, TargetOU

# Set parameter for location of CSV file (so source file only needs to be listed once).
$path = ".\CreateNewUsers-CSV.csv"
# Import CSV file as data source for remaining script.
$csv = Import-Csv -path $path | ForEach-Object {
# Add '@saccounty.net' suffix to samAccountName for UserPrincipalName
$userPrincinpal = $_."samAccountName" + "@saccounty.net"
# Create and configure new AD User Account based on information from the CSV source file.

-GivenName $_."givenName_FirstName" `
-SurName $_."sn_LastName" `
-SamAccountName $_."samAccountName" `
-UserPrincipalName $userPrincinpal `

Here is the same script as a function:
Function Get-ExcelSheet{
Param(
$fileName = 'C:\scripts\test.xls',
$sheetName = 'csv2'
$conn = New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = $fileName;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0")
$cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
$cmd.CommandText="Select * from [$sheetName$]"
$conn.open()
$cmd.ExecuteReader()
It is called like this:
Get-ExcelSheet -filename c:\temp\myfilename.xslx -sheetName mysheet
Do NOT change anything in the function and post the exact error. If you don't have Office installed correctly or are running 64 bits with a 32 bit session you will have to adjust your system.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HI JRV,

$cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
$cmd.CommandText="Select * from [$sheetName$]"
$conn.open()

# Set parameter for location of CSV file (so source file only needs to be listed once) as well as Worksheet Names.

Use of "Archive Source Files with Errors" for BIC module error

Hi All,
I have Edi file to Idoc scenario , where i am using SEEBURGER BICXIADAPTER.MODULE.
My question is if the input file caught in error with BIC Module e.g
"MP: exception caught with cause Error in BICMODULE-module:Temporary error: BIC XI Adapter call failed. Reason: SegmentDescription: checkAndResetChildrenCounter() not enough repetitions of the segment UNH found: 0 instead of 1 offset :80 DESCRIPTION: SegmentDescription Warning: Not enough repetitions of the segment UNH ([not specified]/[not specified])."
can we move these errornous files to another directory using Processing parameter "Archive Source Files with Errors" available with Sender File Adapter?
In File Adpater my Module tab looks like :
1 localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean Local Enterprise Bean bic
2 localejbs/CallSapAdapter Local Enterprise Bean 0
In my scenario , its not working.. do we have any other option to achive this?

Hi Jyoti,
I had a raised a similar case with SAP and came to know that archiving only works if the error raised by the module is so called "Permanent". However, bic doesn't raise permanent error due to which archiving of error files won't be possible. Seeburger haven't came up with a solution yet.

Prateek

Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

Hiya everyone!
I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
The HDV files that won't open read as:
Source: *.mov
Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
Movie FPS: 25.00
Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
Data Size: 69.53 MB
Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
Current time: 00:00:01.64
Duration: 00:00:20.76
Normal size: 1920 x 1080
Current size: 1920 x 1080
Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.

My problem is almost identical to these 2...
No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?

As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

HEy, I have been looking into this problem... i also wanted to play quicktime files using my pc... The last thing i tried was downloadiing these codecs
1)apple pro res *for pc
2)mpeg 2 codec for pc
I have HDV files captured on a Mac G5 they are 30p 720,
I think i am close to solving the problem because: before installing the codecs i couldn't see the video and only audio.. but now i open it and i can see the video partially... here are my screen captures....
anyone interested in getting this solved???,... i would also like some help in importing m2t files from VLC player to HDV split where they can be read and edited. Thank you.
Ultimately my goal is to be able to edit these HDV files directly and export them back out with good quality.. because my only editing choice right now is Windows movie maker.
this is an error i got from the HDV split program. Its supposed to read m2t files..

What compression type to use for disk image files

Hello all
I was wondering if a more experienced user than me could give a recommendation as to which compression format I should use to compress an image I made of my / partition. I used dd to make the image file.
For me, (de)compression time is more important than compression ratio (size), but I'm of course looking for a good blend of both
Thanks for any advice

If you have a multicore processor, use pigz instead of gzip etc. Start with this app and only after you're not happy with it, look for one that's faster / compresses better.
BTW, do you have a lot of incompressible data in there? Movies, pics, music and already compressed files won't compress any more.

In Acrobat 6 and 7 Professional, what compression methodology is used with the "Reduce File Size"?

For example, bicubic downsampling to 72 pixels/in.?, to 150 pixels/in.?, to 300 pixels/in.?,
Are all embedded thumbnails also removed?
Are all layers also flattened?

My work around for now is "Make Compatible with…’ from Acrobat 4.0 " which does not support JPEG2000 compression.

Will a 1080i source make a pristine 720p .mov file?

I have a Canon HG10 (AVCHD) video camera. I set the camera to HQ (15Mbps/60/1080i). I also use FCP 2.0 and Compressor.
First of all. I know that I can keep the native source (camera) target (Compressor) resolution the same 1080/60i. But does this mean that I can make a progressive 720p version of a 1080i source file by just down grading the aspect ratio?
All the HQ AVC file are 1440x1080i. But I compress them (H.264) and make them smaller aspect ratios for portability. Just wondered if a 720p target file would actually be rendered correctly from a 1080i source file.

I had to move on and make the video all over again, but in the process I figured out what I had done. Quicktime has options in the Save As dialog to "Save as a self-contained movie" or "Save as a referenced movie". It is obvious that my edits (which included pasting from another file), were saved as a referenced movie the way I saved it. I then hosed the file when I threw away the referenced file.

How to convert HDV-1080i captured video to burn on IDVD ?

Hi Gang,
I recently bought a Canon XL H1 HDV camcorder and love to shoot HD-1080i on miniDV. I capture the video on IMovie HD using HDV-1080i. It is beautiful.
I need to convert this format using the best compression so I can burn the video on a IDVD. I realize I will loose some resolution but until Blu-Ray is available, I have no other alternatives. Canon XL H1 shoots uncompressed audio and video and is amazing. I have used H264 in the past with 720p but I'm not sure using 1080i. Can any of you wonderful folks walk me through the best steps to do this? Thankyou, Joe Ray
ps: I own Final Cut Pro 5.1 but can't learn it til late August2006.

well right now since your recording the high def to a tape, you're shooting HDV, which is compressed HD. iMovie imports that and converts it to the apple intermediate format.....(no compression, just a different format imovie works with). Just do the editing in imovie and send it to idvd and choose best quality in the projects pane in the idvd preferences. that's all you can do.
(imovie does the editing, and idvd does the converting to MPEG 2 which is what dvd players read).

"Archive Source Files with Errors" feature - how to?

File sender adapter has a feature to Archive Source Files with Errors.
I have an adapter module applied to inbound files and in case an error occurs during the processing of the adapter module, I want to make use of this feature , this is because the CC keeps on picking the file with erroneous data after regular specified interval and shows up an error in RWB.
How can I use the Archive Source Files with Errors feature with this? Do I have to do anything specific in the adapter module code for this to work?
Regards,
Amol

Hi,
if you see whats mentioned on the help link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/2d6189f0e27a4894ad517961762db7/frameset.htm
it says:
To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, set the indicator.
A permanent error occurs either during the conversion of the file content, or in a module in the module processor.
does this not mean it could be used with errors raised in adapter modules? ideally it should be.

Source file difference : XI vs PI

Hi ,
Wanted to check in our XI world when we used to get source file it used to show &apos instead of " ' " . In PI world ,it show " ' " and not &apos? can we change this display of characters to make XI look like PI ?
Thanks

Hi,
When you work with XI most of the time we handle apecial characters at mapping level.
But in PI7.1 ,we no need to handle at all,it automatically converts ,we can find the difference in Mapping.

Source file information

I have the original source file for an illustrator image used for a business card.
My intention is to bring this image to the web. I would like to make some color changes, is there any way that I can detect or find using the source image the exact font used in the source file, rather than having to go through and changes the colors of font letter by letter?
I guess I should mention that I am bringing the image into PS for editing. I am splicing ares of the image to modify the placement of text, images, etc.

Hi Jacob,
I am never clear enough in my attempts to express myself. :-)
My intention is not to alter the source image at all, I am much more comfortable working in PS than I am Illustrator at this point in time. My question was how to identify the specific font used in the .ai file in order to use it in PS, making modifications to word placement, color and the like. I spliced the source file, selecting what I wanted to bring into PS to modify, and then place the modified PS images into the header I am currently working on. The address of the business in the .ai source file was not the color I wanted to bring to the web, and rather than spend the time to change the color by selecting the words in PS and "re-colorize" (selections never look as good as compared to just creating new ones), I thought it best (and easier) to just identify the font as closely as possible to that which was in the source file, and make my changes to color in PS.
I hope this makes better sense.

Loosing source location with separate source files

Hi,
I am compiling my code with g++ (version 2.8.1) using the -g option. When I use one large source file with all my classes and the main routine in it, I can browse the source in the analyzer GUI. If I split out all classes into separate source files (which I was hoping would help me maintain the code better), I am no longer able to browse the source files. Analyzer complains about the directory where all source files live not being accessible.
thanks for any input anyone might be able to offer!
h.

In Windows XP the path should be
c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\com.adobe.formscentral.FormsCentralForAcrobat\Local Store\data
You might notice that in that folder the images and forms are saved as separate objects and not all in one file like the FCDT file.
For local file the FCDT contains all you need. If you ever move to online forms and start collecting data then you will notice that that FCDT doesn't contain the data recieved but only the design of the form. In the case you move the form online then we never save the form locally so there is no way to use a source control to save the form other again than just saving the design format (fcdt file) and not the data received.
You can vote for a new request here http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral?view=idea (click on the "Create an idea" in the top right corner)

Forcing Client to Download Latest Source File

Hi guys,
I'm comfortable with creating a package within SCCM 2007 and deploying to DP's and therefore creating an advertisement then deploying to clients. I needed to update the package I created, eg. an Office .MSP File and I have updated the DP's with the
update however when I re-ran the advertisement on the client, it was still using the original source files (including original MSP file). I assume it's obtaining these from the originally downloaded content which is stored on C:\Windows\System32\CCM\Cache.
Without manually deleting the cached copy, is there a way to force a client to download the latest copy from the DP prior to running the advertisement?

Hi,
the client should after a new policy update relelase that the package version in the cache is old and should download it again..
