Converting a file format

I created a video clip on my Sony Camcorder. The disc shows a folder containing 6 files: 2 BUP files, 2 IFO files and 2 VOB files. When I try to bring the clip into Adobe Premier Elements 11, the files that show up are VIDEO_TS.VOB and VTS_01.VOB. Although I can import them through Add Media, they do not play clean. They have lots of wierdness happening. How can I convert the files to an acceptable file format? And do I have to convert all 6 files? Thanks, Mitch

As I show you in my book, if you put the DVD into your computer's DVD drive and then use Premiere Elements' Add Media/From PC DVD or DVD Camcorder, the program will "rip" the video files from the disc and then set up your project automatically to work with your video as the best settings possible.
I still don't know what processor you have or how much RAM, so I can't say if your computer is adequately powered to edit this type of video. But in my experience, Premiere Elements 11 does a pretty good job with DVD video if you use the Add Media tool to get the video from the disc to your computer.
Also, don't forget to render your timeline (press Enter) whenever you see yellow orange lines along the top of the timeline, above your clips, in Expert view.
I show you more of the basics of this program in my free 8 part Basic Training tutorial series, if you're interested.

  • How to convert a file format thru java

    Hello friends
    I would like to know how to convert a file format i.e. from x to y ie using java meaning x file comes it will be converted by an exe to y format.
    how can this be achieved in java
    heko

    Open file x with a FileReader or BufferedReader or maybe another class. Search Java API for this.
    Read file x.
    Converts contents as you want.
    Write file y by a FileWriter or BufferedWriter.

    Hi,
    This is the project requirement that first the data should be downloaded in a file with .SLOAS format, then we have to convert it to .CSV format and use it further.
    Do you know any technique or Function Module using which we can achieve this functionality.

  • Can I convert the file format of purchased songs?

    I'm trying to put together a movie for my kids with a song I purchased through iTunes but it is a mp4 file - which will not work in my movie-making software! Can I convert the song to mp3??!! Help!!!

    Yes, but it's a 2 step process. First, burn the mp4 file to a cd, like one you can play in a regular player. Then import the cd back as an mp3 file (you set this up under preferences, import tab). I do this to all of my iTunes songs because they are worthless unless I can play them on devices other than my iPod.

  • Converting .MOI file formats to be importable by iMovie?

    Can anyone advise how I might edit a video from a Panasonic SDR-H40 Cam Corder in iMovie 11? The files are easily copied onto the Macbook Air. There's a .MOD file (video) and .MOI (audio).  The .MOD imports after changing the extension to .MPG but I can't get .MOI file in ????
    I can edit the Video but can't add any of the voice track created.

    The file needs to be demuxed or converted. Use MPEG Streamclip. The audio is multiplexed in the MPEG file. The MOI is not audio. It's metadata.

  • Best file format to convert AVCHD lite to?

    Hello,
    I have been browsing for a while with not much success. I have a new panasonic camera recording HD video in the brand new AVCHD lite format. I understand that FCP and pretty much everything does not accept AVCHD lite yet so converting the file format is inevitable. I want to do some editing in FCP and I am not sure what file I should convert the .MTS files to that would be best for editing.
    I have already tried .MP4 and gathering from what I have read MP4 is a not a good file to edit with in FCP. What would you suggest be better?
    When I tried editing with .MP4 the program ran so slow it was inoperable...
    Maybe I need more than 2Gbs of ram...
    I dunno.. Please Help
    Thanks

    mp4 is not an editing format and more ram probably won't help. If you've got the disk space, I'd recommend prores. I've been working with avchd from panny HMC150 using the log and transfer window in fcp and fcp automatically converts to prores.

  • Need to convert to vector format.

    I have a document with pictures.  I need to convert it to vector format before sending to printer.  Not sure how to do it.  Using CS5.  Is converting to outlines the same? 

    It must be difficult to convert from illustrator into a vector format since no one has a specific answer.
    Soshagayle7,
    There is no automagic "conversion" from a raster image to a vector graphic. The artwork represented by a raster image can be redrawn as vector artwork.
    You can re-draw the artwork using the vector drawing tools in Illustrator or any similar program. You can even import the raster image and use it as a guide while "tracing" it with vector paths.
    Or (and this is where the all-too-common misconception about "conversion" comes in)...
    You can use the autotrace feature which exists in Illustrator or any similar program to try to automate the process of "tracing" the raster image with vector paths.
    Either way, you end up with what would more accurately be called a "reinterpretation" of the subject, not a "conversion" of the raster image in the sense of "converting" one file format to another.
    And that's the key. All that most current autotrace features (including the one in Illustrator) do is detect color differences between pixels of a raster image based upon a user-specified sensitivity setting, and then try to draw vector paths which follow along those detected differences. It's very much a garbage-in-garbage-out process.
    And even when the "in" is not garbage, there is no real intelligence involved. The kind of autotrace algorithms in Illustrator and programs like it have no shape-recognition intelligence. For example, in the case of a human face, the autotrace feature doesn't know that the eyes' pupils are round; it just detects a region of similarly-colored pixels and tries to draw a path around them. Similarly, in the case of a geometric logo that obvously (to a human) is supposed to contain a perfect circle, the autotrace feature doesn't "see a circle"; it doesn't go and get the Ellipse tool and draw a circle that fits, as any human would do. Again, it just tries to follow around the regions of similarly-colored pixels.
    But that sounds okay, right? Well think about it. Imagine turning the sensitivity of such an algorithm way up to the max. What's going to be the most accurate autotracing of a raster image? The mathematically "most accurate" result would be a perfect vector square for each and every pixel in the image. And the "vector advantage" of that would be absolutely nill. The resolution-independence reason for preferring vector paths would be rendered moot. Such a graphic would be entirely vector, but to absolutely no advantage regarding scaleability. (Thus my comment about the line drawn with a 1-pixel raster image.)
    So the reason you haven't received an answer to the "how do I convert" question is because the same thing has been explained in this forum countless times, and to answer it correctly really requires a lengthy explanation (like this one) that tries to clear up the too-common misconception that autotracing is some kind of magic bullet for "converting" a raster image into a vector graphic in some kind of mathematically accurate way that then yields all the advantages of properly drawn vector graphics.
    Autotracing is useful to those who understand when it's appropriate and why. But without seeing or at least knowing more about the actual raster image you are dealing with, advising whether it's appropriate in your case is nothing but a guess. Generally speaking, if the image in question is not already of high enough resolution at the size at which it will be printed, then it's probably also not of high enough resolution for good auto-tracing results. And if it is of sufficient resolution for the size at which it will be printed, then there's probably no reason it needs to be vector.
    Bottom line: There's a good reason why vector graphics are preferred. But that means properly-drawn vector graphics. The best way to "convert" your raster image to a vector graphic is to re-draw it using the vector tools. The sometimes-acceptable but often sub-standard "cheat" for doing it is to import the graphic and apply the autotrace feature (called LiveTrace in Illustrator). It's use is explained in the online help.
    Autotracing--the "conversoin" that such questions are almost always talking about--is not a lossless translation, like converting quarts to gallons or binary to hexidecimal. Entropy always rules. Anytime something is automatically "reprocessed" something is lost, not gained. You see that in everything from repainting a room over and over without removing the old paint, to taking photographs of photographs of photographs. Degradation occurs. You swap one kind of ugliness for another. That's autotracing when used inappropriately.
    The drawing tools exist for a reason. If you really need vector paths, you should probably draw them.

  • Changing the file format of spool output when scheduling a background job.

    Hello Experts,
    I have an issue. It is related to Spool output format. I created a job for one report program for which the output is a list output. I have added one recipient in the 'Spool list recipient' while creating the job SM36. After the job is finished the spool output is sent to the recipient mail id as .htm format as an attachment. But the attachment should be excel sheet or text file. No coding in the program should be used to convert the file format. Only settings in the spool while creating job should be manipulated. Please help me in solving this issue.
    Regards.

    Hi Sunil,
    You can use the logic for converting spool to PDF using program : RSTXPDFT4 . Alternatively you can use FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF . In this FM you need to pass the Spool id .
    u can make use of these FM's SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
    SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
    Check out the following wiki:

  • Highlight File Format and PDF Documents with Chinese and English characters

    I'm a developer working on an application that makes use of the Highlight File Format / external highlight server capabilities of Adobe Reader.
    The highlighting worked correctly until we started to introduce pdf documents that were scanned to recognize Chinese in addition to English.
    The xml file seems to have the correct values in it. For example, if the 10 characters to highlight are at position 41 on the first page. The "xml" file has the <loc pg=0 pos=41 len=10>.
    If the document is scanned for English only, it works fine. That is, the highlight starts at character 41. If the same document is scanned for Chinese and English, the highlight starts at character 22.
    Has anyone had a similar experience? Do you know a solution?

    Hi,
    I don't know about BIP and the specifics of your context, but here are some general answers for the XLIFF format:
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'utf-8'?>
    Can we change encoding to 'ISO-8859-1' as soon as we convert the file format ?If you also save the file to ISO-8859-1 as well yes. But you can do this only for languages supported by Latin-1. It makes sense to keep the files in UTF-8.
    A-2) he section <header><skl><internal-file> contains a huge string
    which seeem to be binary ... What is this ? can we delete it ?That's likely to be the skeleton file. The data used to rebuild the original format after translation.
    Most likely it should stay there.
    A-3) Can we have one XLF file with muliple <file> sections (one per language to translate to ) ?
    This can be very useful for us to manage one only translation file per report template.Yes but no: yves you can have several <file> elements in an XLIFF document, but no: they must be for the same language pair. XLIFF is designed to work with bi-lingual files, not multi-lingual files.
    A-4) the most important section for translation is included in the <trans-unit> tag .
    Each one has a distinct id like ""49e41f8f" ... Can we replace this by a more meaningfull value ?Those id attributes are used by the filter to merge back the data after translation. You should preserve them.
    A-5) the language format is like "en-US" (language code + territory code).
    Is it case sensitive ? No it is not case-sensitive (en-us == en-US). The values of xml:lang are not case sensitive (unlike other XML attribute values).
    en-US is just the recommended notation.
    The XLIFF specification are here:

  • Converting avi files with videora

    When i try to convert an AVI format video with Videora it doesnt work. I click start and then it just says transcode complete, but when i check for it, it isnt there. Is there any other way to convert AVI files?

    Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
    I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
    Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
    [*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
    [*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
    [*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
    [*]Encode several files simultaneously
    [*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
    Supported file formats:
    Video:
    [*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
    dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
    audio only);
    Audio:
    [*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
    AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
    To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
    Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
    [*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
    All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

  • Convert ASCII File into HTML

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to convert ASCII files (formatted files when opened through Textpad / Editplus) into HTML when its hyperlink is clicked from my application.
    The present code is that, the TXT file was streamed, html tags have been added and the entire file was re-written as HTML (based on char 12 / 32, as the case may be) and saved as JSP / HTML extension, and placed in a temp folder.
    response.sendRedirect() was used to open this file, which threw OutofMemoryException errors.
    It was also revealed that, if the original ASCII file was 40KB, the converted JSP file would be 160KB (around 4 times)
    The ideal conversion should be - add html tags in the new file and maintain the same formatting as the original ASCII file, & save the file with new extension.
    Thus I need a memory efficient method such that these files are converted on the fly by the application, yet the size kept minimum.
    Please suggest. Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Hari N

    160k is trival on a modern desktop OS. Especially since it is temporary. What heap size is the server using?
