Confused about import and export formats

I have a load of 8mm video footage that I want to archive before the old camera dies. As a first step I have used my DVD/HDD recorder attached to my TV to save the footage from the camera, do a little bit of editing and then burn onto DVD at the highest quality available. Doing this I can get 60 mins of footage onto each DVD and the quality is a good as the original. I now want to play with a few of these by importing into iMovie 09 so that I can add a few titles and link clips together with a few transitions. Nothing too complicated. Here's where I get a bit lost with all the formats available to me for importing and exporting. What's the best way of doing this? Having read around a bit it looks like conversion to DV is good for getting into iMovie in the first place. To do this I have tried using MPEG Streamclip and it looks OK, but what about all of the settings options DV25, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, frame blending, downscaling etc etc no idea what any of this means. Then having added a few bits and pieces, what's the best way of saving it again to make sure that I keep the quality as high as possible - DV? Ultimately I'd like to have the edited movies back on DVDs with the footage quality the same as I started with i.e. no compression artefacts. If I save the final version in DV format I could then keep copies to view with Quicktime and then do I just use iDVD or MPEG Streamclip to convert to a format playable on a DVD player. Is there any guide somewhere as to what all of the different formats are for pro.s cons etc. Also confused as to why files get bigger and bigger e.g. a 20min clip on a DVD is about 1.5GB, but when converted to DV becomes almost 5GB. I can understand how compression makes files sizes smaller, but what's happening here??

A Quick Time .mov movie can play on any PC as log as they have the Quicktime player
free http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
To do it, open iMovie, pick you project, then "Share to Media Browser" and pick the "HD" setting. It can take hours/movie depending on their length. Once it is done you can find it inside the iMovie project's file. TO get there, go to Users Folder -> your User name folder -> Movies -> iMovie projects -> and find the project that you made the movie from. Right click on that file (or use the control key as you click on the file) and you will see a menu -> Show Package contents -> Movies and your 720p .mov movie will be in that Movie folder. you can drag it to your desktop and copy it to your external HD or flash drive.

About Import and Export question!

I'm from China and a new DBA with a little experience with Oracle administrator.I meet some questions and can't solve.
I have a database server (With Oracle Server 7.3.2 for NT),I exported the datas as follows way from a workstation which is oracle client and have admistrator tools.
exp73 system/manager@nts-com full=Y file=c:\czdata.dmp
Enter array fetch buffer size:30720
Export grants :Y
Export table data :Y
Compress extents:Y
And last export terminated successfully without warning.
In the next,I began imported it into the New database Server(With Oracle Server7.3.2 for NT) with a workstation which is oracle client and have admistrator tools ,too.
imp73 system/manager@nts-com1 file=c:\czdata.dmp
The error message appeared:
IMP-00016:
IMP-00000:
In the two databases,I had run the sql before the database was setuped:
UPDATE PROPS$ SET VALUE$='CHINA' WHERE NAME='NLS_TERRITORY';
UPDATE PROPS$ SET VALUE$='CHINESE' WHERE NAME='NLS_LANGUAGE';
UPDATE PROPS$ SET VALUE$='ZHS16CGB231280' WHERE NAME='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
And the same tablespace,users in the database.I couldn't find the causation.
What can I do? Please give me such a case which was resolved successfully as detaileder as more. Thanks very much!

Confused about import and workflow using existing filing system

Ok folks, I purchased Lightroom last week and I am still staring at an empty Library module. I have thousands of images but I seem to have been overcome by a case of anxiety/paralysis. Why, you ask? I can't determine an import strategy; here's why.
I maintain three versions of every photo: 1) Original RAW, 2)Processed Tif, and 3) a Screen/web-ready Jpg
Photos are sequencially numbered and maintained in folders as in the example below:
- Main folder, 00001-00048
-- 3 Sub-folders: RAW, Tif, Jpg,
--- Each sub-folder has a sub-folder containing 24 photos (e.g 00001-00024 and 00025-00048)
Method to my madness...
- Each Main folder/content fits nicely on a DVD
- 24 files to each sub-folder makes a nice printed 4 column, 6 row contact sheet and a 1024 x 768 contact sheet for the computer screen.
Obviously I do not want all 3 versions of every photo visible in the library but I do want access to all of them through LR. Can I import all three versions and stack them?
Also, I typically d/l my RAW files from a card reader to a d/l folder, preview and delete, process keepers via PS and save as Tif, batch rename picking up where I left off from the last batch, and finally resize/convert to Jpg and save copies. All files are then moved to numbered folders on a backup hard drive and burned to two DVDs.
Given the new/required import methodology, is this process of saving, renaming, moving to different folders, etc., still possible using LR, or do I have to reinvent the wheel?
Apologies for the lengthy post - appreciate any and all input. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Jeff

> Can I import all three versions and stack them?
Well, you can only stack within a folder, not across the hierarchy. So they'll all need different names and to be in the same folder. But leaving them in their own folders should work, and there are ways to hide them, like making the RAWs red, the TIFFs green, and the JPEGs purple, or something like that. Then just filter for what you want.
Your downloading etc. system should still work in LR.

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

When to use import and export directives?

I'm very confused about what the import and export language extensions do and when one should use them.
I have a Bridge application with multiple source files. As long as I don't call code in another file from the startup execution path (before all source files are loaded) and only call across modules after Bridge is running (e.g. from events in Bridge), I don't seem to need import and export. All source files seem to be in the same namespace and all can see each other's global objects/functions.
So, when would someone use import or export? And, what is the #engine that the manual discusses in relation to import and export? If some of my source files are library files that I intend to be used by multiple different files/applications, should I be using import/export for that use? Or is this only applicable when there are somehow multiple JavaScript engines involved? And when would that situation arise?
--John

John,
The import and export directives don't really matter in Bridge. All scripts execute in the same namespace. That's why namespacing your scripts is crucial in Bridge.
The #engine directive creates another JavaScript engine instance containing the script with the directive. If you then wanted to use stuff from that engine, the import and export directives would be needed. But even with that, in Bridge, the main engine will contain the script. There will just be a second engine (you can see this in the ESTK) containing the same stuff. Since it's in the main engine, there's no point in using the import and export.
Some of the other apps, GoLive, for instance, each script executes in its own engine and namespace. And import and export are needed.
This could change in future versions, and if it does, we'll be certain to make sure everyone knows about it.

What is the best way to import and export footage from the 5D Mark II?

Hello,
I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece. Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing. Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline. I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
My questions:
1) What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
2) What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
3) What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects? I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction. I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance. I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage. I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!

1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Import and Export in 4.6b

Hi All,
I have a syntax regarding Import and Export statements which are not working in 4.6b. Below is the statement.
IMPORT ID = (Internal Table) FROM DATA BUFFER ( String Variable ).
EXPORT ID = (Internal Table) TO DATA BUFFER ( String Variable ).
What can we have alternate to above statements ?
Actually I need to transfer or export some internal table content to String and Import the same data from string.
I am looking perticularly about buffer only. If not that what can we have alternate to that ?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi
You can try to use Field symbols also, for example
you need to code in the target program.
field-symbols <fs_itab> type standard table.
assign '(PROGRAMNAME)ITAB[]' TO <FS_ITAB>.
example, i did this in user exit
assign '(SAPMV50A)XLIPS[]' to <FS_ITAB>.
if <FS_ITAB> is assigned.
code will continue
make sure program name is in capital letters.

Pages for iPad does not support export/import of Endnote references in the form of formatted bibliography.

Yes, indeed, feedback directly to Apple is possible

While Pages does not currently import/export and preserve the Endnote formatted bibliography, another app known as Documents to go does; there is not citation software for adding references though, but preservation is good.

Hi astro,
Please ensure that you haven’t renamed or moved the destination excel file during the exporting process. Also make sure that “Create destination table” option is checked as below screenshot and the SQL statement is correct.

Difference between Import and Export parameters in Function Module

Hi All,
I am unclear about the import and export parameters, when i create a function module. Can anyone explain abt this. However when i call the function module in any program the import parameters in Function module are displayed as exporting in program amd the export parameters as importing.
Any help on this would be appericiated.
Shejal.

HI,
Import parameter in FM is the value u provide to FM for processing.
export is the value u get from FM after processing.
when u call a FM in a progam the import parameter will appear as Export bcos u r giving value to the FM.
and u r getting value from FM in import parameter(bcos u r importing).

Import and Export of R prediction model

hi ,
How can i import and export a oracle R prediction model   e.g from/to file ?   Basically,   We need it for the following requirements
1. We would like to ship a sample prediction model as part a product.      So, The product will work with sample prediction model for some time after install    till a newer model is created   with data in customer env.
2. Before regenerating a prediction model,   we would like to take a backup of the existing prediction model.   And if it turns out that the prediction results are not as good with new model, we should be able to reinstate the older model.
3. Support a mode where oracle R prediction model can be loaded to an environment which is different from the the source environment where the model was actually generated.
Please advise
Regards,
Arif

I tried the above method but i am facing an issue that although the prediction model is imported in to R using load command,   it is not loaded in ORE environment.     Due to this i am not able to use the imported predictionmodel for scoring
I tried the following
#Generate the prediction model
> PREDICTIONMODEL <- ore.odmKMeans(data= TEST_DATA_TABLE, formulat= COLUMN1 ~ . )
> class(PREDICTIONMODEL)
[1] "ore.odmKMeans" "ore.model"
> save( PREDICTIONMODEL, file="test.model")
After this i quit the R session (without saving my workspace)   and then   create a   new R session and tried the following
# load a prediction model from a file
> load(file="test.model")
> ls()
[1} "PREDICTIONMODEL"
> ore.ls()
charcter(0)
You can see from above that ore.ls() is not printing anything after load(). However, ls() prints the loaded PREDICTIONMODEL.    Now, if i try to do scoring against the loaded predictionmodel, I get an error
> x <- data.frame(COLUMN2="CC_PROCESSING", COLUMN3="CallWorkflow", COLUMN4="CallWorkflow", COLUMN1=NA)
> X <- ore.push(x)
>
> result<- ore.predict(PREDICTIONMODEL, X)
Error in .oci.GetQuery(conn, statement, data = data, prefetch = prefetch, :
ORA-40284: model does not exist
So, it seems that even though i imported the model from the file, ORE is still not aware of it .   Any idea about this ?

Import and Export Parameters READ_TEXT

Hi ALL
I have to read Standard Text through this Function Module and populate that Standard Text into an Internal Table. Kindly let me know about the Import and Export parameterto do this. Also pls let me know a way to accomplish this
Thanks

What text are u reading and from which transaction.
The following are the main parameters,
ID:
this is text id(U can find it in ur transaction,generally it will start with z)
LANGUAGE:
This depends on the language in which the text is maintained.For example En(english)
NAME:
No for which the text id is maintained,it may be deliver no or transport no.Depends on ur case.
OBJECT:
This represents mostly wether it is header data or item data respectively.so u can check this in ur transaction.
A short example as follows,
FORM read_text1 TABLES   g_t_lines STRUCTURE tline
                USING    p_var TYPE c
                         p_obj TYPE c.
READ TABLE xvttp INDEX 1.
g_f_tdname1 = xvttp-vbeln.
g_f_obj1 = p_obj.
g_f_langu1 = 'DE'.
REFRESH g_t_lines.
CLEAR g_t_lines.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
       EXPORTING
            id                      = p_var
            language                = g_f_langu1

Query to do import and Export for Oracle 10g

For MYSQL we have queries available for import and export
import:-LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablename FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
export:-SELECT * into OUTFILE 'file name' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' FROM tablename
Do we have similar query in Oracle which can be executed on SQL * Plus

Is it a feedback opinion you want to get/put ?
If not, then use a proper forum, which you can find somewhere here below :
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=18
Maybe Database General is the one for your question.
By the way, explain where you get the data from (flat file -sqlldr - or dump file -imp -?), and where you want to put the data (flat file - select - or dump file -exp - ?), be sure you know the format of file of your output.
