Converting to a .sh for DeployStudio

Hi Guys,
I wrote something simple with applescript but it doesn't seem to work at all with the application DeployStudio. Is there anyway to convert this to a .sh? I was trying to see if diskutil would be able to detect volume identifiers but with no luck.
This script basically just detects if there is a partition called bootcamp or windows then erases the volume.
Would be grateful if some could help me shed some light on this.
Regards.
tell application "Finder"
--check to see if the volume mounted
if disk "BOOTCAMP" exists then
display dialog "Success"
--this "tell" statement makes the actual login item
do shell script "diskutil eraseVolume MS-DOS 'Windows' /Volumes/BOOTCAMP"
else if disk "WINDOWS" exists then
display dialog "Success"
--this "tell" statement makes the actual login item
do shell script "diskutil eraseVolume MS-DOS 'Windows' /Volumes/WINDOWS"
else
--if it doesn't work let the user know
display dialog "An error has interrupted the process.:" & return
end if
end tell

Thanks, yes I'm aware re. AVI. I've finally achieved success with File>OpenDVD>Video_ts and Export to Mpeg4. (Initially this process didn't work and I'm not sure why)
However this is SD and I'm wondering is there anyway yet to play a HD movie file in HD on a HDTV via a usb memory stick?
My original source is HDV in FCP7 to a Quicktime Movie. I agree re AVI - this is not helpful. I haven't heard of any high street HDTV supporting .mov files in this way.

Hello:
Rather than try to buy a box, I suggest you take the computer to a FedEx or UPS store. They will wrap and safely package the device for a reasonable cost (I have shipped two iMacs this way).

Converting Images to CMYK for Print Publication

When in my workflow should I be converting images to CMYK for print publication?
Currently, I shoot RAW photographs with my DSLR in Adobe RGB, import the images into Photoshop for manipulation and then convert the final, sized image to CMYK before placing it in my Indesign document. Before going to print, I convert my files to PDF using the [PDF/X-1a:2001] preset. I use a calibrated system with a profile set for my monitor.
Since many of my pictures have shades of green, I'm often disappointed with the conversion to CMYK because I lose saturation and brightness. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a better way of preserving the quality of colour in my images when going to a commercial printer?

To see in InDesign what color shifts will occur, use View=>Proof Colors.
I would also recommend View=>Overprint Preview.
Yes there are color shifts when converting RGB to CMYK, but those are due to the fact that the gamut of CMYK is significantly less than AdobeRGB or even sRGB. The same color shifts going to CMYK will occur whether you convert the image in Photoshop or in InDesign during PDF export or at the RIP.
Keeping the color in ICC color managed RGB has the advantage that last minute changes can be made as to what CMYK printing conditions are used, i.e. all CMYK is not the same. Furthermore, if you convert RGB to CMYK early in the workflow, you lose the ability to maintain the color gamut for display of the PDF as well as for printing to high fidelity color devices, i.e., offset or digital (especially inkjet) devices that have extra colorants such as light cyan, light magenta, orange, and/or green to dramatically expand the gamut. Once you lose the gamut in your imagery via conversion to CMYK, you can't go back.

I have hundreds of the same shape that needs to be converted into a symbol for easy editing. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?
Background here may be relevant: The place I am working is currently using ai CS 3 & 5 and the files in question are converted Freehand files. I have never been a Freehand user, but apparently you were able to swap one shape for another in Freehand. The closest Illustrator equivalent that I am aware of is the symbols panel. I know how to swap one symbol for another, how to create a symbol from a piece of vector art and how to modify a symbol. What I am trying to do is convert several instances of the same object into several instances of the same symbol without having to replace hundreds of objects manually (ie. trying to get the right placement in a grid and everything).
Is there any efficient solution to the task I have in Illustrator CS 3 or CS 5?

Try this.

This is happening for the Chinese font. The same script is working fine for the English font.
Plz suggets

Balaji

Hi Balaji,
I am having a similar issue with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Thai fonts when saving spools to PDF. Have you found any more information on why the output shows up as a blank screen?
We are printing Purchase Orders and the T&Cs are coming through fine because they are saved as picture files but the smartform does not display at all.
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
Have a great day.

Best method for converting 8 mm cassettes for long term storage

I have approximately one hundred 8 mm video cassette tapes that I would like to convert to another format for long term storage. I captured my first tape today from my camera Sony DCR VTR 520 which is a digital 8 mm camera. I was not planning to convert the files to DVDs at this time but just keep the avi file on the computer.   The video was just over 2 hours long but the file ends up being 27 GB.   I expecting it to be around 8 GB like a 2 hr DVD but I guess its not the same.
The 8 mm tape I converted was from an very old 8 mm camera which I no longer have (1990). The camera used to capture from is a VTR 520 which is actually a Sony digital 8 mm, which can play back standard 8 mm. I used CS3 on my old computer with standard project settings for DV NTSC 29.97 f/s.   I currently use PE10 so I could use either program.
What do other people use to convert and store videos on??
If I want to keep them as avi files will I have to live with these large file sizes?
I did a search on the forum and found titles that talk about this subject from a couple of years ago but when I click on them they don't come up.   How do you see these older threads?
Any help would be appreciated.

JMJarige,
The only potential problems with this workflow are:
DVR units (I have a Panasonic, but this is pretty much across the board) seldom produce a 100% DVD-compliant disc, and as most add a rudimentary Menu & navigation system to the disc, produce a first VOB (where the Menus & navigation are located), that is tough, if not impossible to directly Import.
In the production to DVD, there is MPEG2 compression applied. If one edits that material, and then they output to any compressed CODEC, the quality loss is easily seen
When I convert from VHS for a client, I create a DVR DVD disc, for their archives (in case the tapes die), but then Capture to DV-AVI to be edited to a DVD-Video. The client gets two sets of discs - one that is produced by the DRV, and then one that is the finished edit of their tapes. For me, it's a two step process, but gives them a backup, plus a finished product.
Good luck,
Hunt

What is the best way to back-up and load Hi-8 video onto my i-Mac so I can edit it on i-movie? A camera store will convert it to DVD for $32/120min.ll

What is the best way to back-up my Hi-8 video tapes and then load them onto my i-Mac so I can edit them on i-movie? A camera store will convert them to DVD for $32/120min. Will I lose a lot of quality that way?

Quality is not much of an issue with Hi8, the main issue is age of the tapes. The older the tapes, the more degraded the images are going to be. Regardless of how you transfer the video, the quality is going to be pretty much the same.
The "best" way depends on how valuable the images are to you and how many tapes you have. I did a similar project last winter with a collection of 14 Hi8 tapes that dated from 1994 to 2002. I bought a converter bridge (Canopus), maximum RAM for my Mac, and a huge hard drive. I also decided to get Final Cut Express because it had more ability to enhance the pictures after downloading them. I am very happy with the results, but it cost me nearly $1200 for the upgrades, equipment, and software.
The only other thing to consider is to be sure that if you go with an outside vendor (like the Camera Store) that the files they provide for you will be in a format that iMovie can recognize.
Good luck.

How to convert mp3 CD audiobook for ipod?

I use Audiobook Builder to convert Auciobook CDs to an ipod-compatible bookmarkable format, and the program handles all of the steps transparently. in iTune 10, how can I make this same conversion from an mp3 audiobook CD into iTunes? I tried following the instructions for this from an earlier post on this discussion group, but have run into a problem. When I select all of the MPEG audiofiles from the mp3 CD and instruct iTunes via the Advanced Menu to "Create AAC Version", iTunes says that it is converting the files track by track. BUT, when it is done, I still have only MPEG audio files showing, no AAC converted files. Thanks for any suggesions.

Thank you for your posting, which is very helpful, however it will be better if you can post on the Video forum as well

By the way, I must say that it is a very good post

Wasn't there an option to convert songs to 128kbs for shuffles?

I must be losing my mind!
Wasn't there an option to convert songs to 128kbs for shuffles in earlier versions of itunes? Before 7.x?

it's still there (at least it is on mine). Connect the shuffle and go to it's Settings tab."Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" is in the Options section at the bottom.

Did you buy PSE in the mac app store? If not, just go to Help>Updates in the editor and update camera raw and you should be able to open the raw files in PSE 12 directly without the DNG converter.

Help converting value to datetime for order by.

I have a database that unfortunately has a varchar column with values like 'Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:54:47 +0000' I need to be able to select from my table and order by this column as a date time stamp. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
Stacey

Given that you want to transform into timestamp, one could guess the +0000 are fractional seconds. Otherwise you could convert just into Date
For converting into timestamp see below. Could be timezone also as mentioned by others abvove.
select
to_timestamp('Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:54:47 +0000', 'DY DD MON YYYY HH24:MI:SS "+"FF', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') myDate
,to_timestamp('Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:54:47 +45', 'DY DD MON YYYY HH24:MI:SS "+"FF', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') myDate
,to_timestamp('Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:54:47 +1283737', 'DY DD MON YYYY HH24:MI:SS "+"FF', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') myDate
,to_timestamp_tz('Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:54:47 +0000', 'DY DD MON YYYY HH24:MI:SS TZHTZM', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH') myDateTZ

What database program will convert my Appleworks DB for use on Intel platform?

What database program will convert my Appleworks DB for use on Intel platform?

Yes, you just need the appleworks folder from applications.
However, whether or not this is strictly legal is another question entirely, I'm afraid, unless you are planning to remove appleworks from your computer. You could just buy her her own copy of Appleworks, too.
