Divx Encoder doesn't work?

I've searched for an answer to this on here but to no avail.
When i export a video using the Divx encoder the audio is always like 10-15 seconds behind. I have tried restarting computer. i have tried different clips. I have the latest version of FC. and Divx player.

I've also tried playing it on another computer (windows)

Chunked Transfer Encoding - Doesn't work due to implementation bug?

Hello All,
I'm tackling the infamous "transfer-encoding: chunked" issue on trying to send POST data from the J2ME emulators and devices greater than 2048 bytes (or whatever the internal buffer size of a specific device might be). The nginx server on the other end always sends back a *411 - No content length specified* because it doesn't seem to recognize chunked transfer encoding. (despite the fact nginx is HTTP 1.1 compliant meaning it should be able to recognize it without rejection)
One thing I've noticed is that compared to a correctly chunked HTTP body which looks something like this:
*2*
ab
*4*
abcd
A
*0123456789*
*3*
foo
*0*
the HTTP bodies coming out of the MIDlet though Network Monitor in the emulator just look like this:
ababcd0123456789foo
It seems the chunked HTTP body does not have the chunk size indices that should be there for proper formatting.
I did my debugging on the Sun Java Network Monitor and maybe that tool "hides" the actual chunking indices
or the chunking takes place at a point beyond the emulator's snapshot of the data. Does anyone know if the Sun Java Network Monitor indeed shows the entire body of an HTTP POST in it's true state? The size of one packet I'm looking at is 2016 which is 32 bytes off 2048 - the supposed limit where data starts getting chunked. Could this "missing" 32 bytes from the log be the chunking indexes I am looking for? If the Network Monitor indeed shows the packet body in it's entirety then it seems like people are having issues sending chunked transfers because the format is wrong.
Anyway assuming J2ME's chunked transfer encoding is working correctly then how come nginx and many other supposedly HTTP 1.1 servers cannot understand the incoming format? Is Java's implementation of chunked transfer encoding somehow deviant from the set standard? I read a post at the following address
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=76&threadID=454773
in which a user could not get chunked posts recognized by Apache until he changed the format of his HTTP body (read the last post on that thread for details on this).
In case no one can assist on the above how would I go about trying to intercept the HTTP data stream right after it leaves the emulator or a real device. Is this something that can only be done server side? If so how can I guarantee that the data I am receiving on the server side was not modified by another entity along the way?
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
-Bob

We're still tackling the same issue but we've made a few discoveries:
* Nginx does not support chunked transfer encoding despite it's HTTP 1.1 status.
* The chunked transfer encoding format coming out of J2ME is correct. During some server side logging sessions we found that J2ME puts in the chunking indices and the finalizing 0 and carriage return to signify the end of the stream.
* The missing 32 bytes not shown in the Sun Java Network Monitor are the chunking indices - they are just hidden from you at that level of display. Since the J2ME emulator sends it's packets in 2048 bytes chunks when viewing the monitor you will just see the contents itself (2016 byte chunks). The other 32 bytes are the headers i.e.
7e0[carriage return]
which is a 32 bytes sequence (4 8 byte characters) with the last character being the carriage return. 7e0 in decimal is 2016 - the size of the displayed packet in the network monitor.
Anyone have any suggestions for a reliable server end receiver for chunked transfer encoding content? (preferably one which works well with Ruby on Rails)

Background encoding doesn't work

hello, I'm a macbook pro 15' user and I just got into burning dvds with iDVD.
What I've noticed is that it takes **** of a time to burn it because of the encoding.
So I searched the internet and realized I can encode in the background while I work on my project.
The problem is, my preference was already set for a background encoding, but apparently, iDVD wasn't doing it.
I tried deselecting and selecting the checkbox again in the preference settings, but no difference.
I just can't imagine burning another dvd again without encoding it beforehand, because last time it took me about 2hours or more.
The content of dvd was three .avi files, just in case it matters.
Please, help me.
p.s. the actual burning time didn't take long, but the encoding part took forever.

Even with the quality set to "Best performance" and background encoding on, iDVD still goes through the encoding process on assets imported into the project when I burn. The project info window tells me that background encoding of these assets is complete, so why should iDVD have to go through this process when burning (or creating a disk image)?
I realize that the menus aren't encoded in the background - so they will be encoded at burn time - but the movies that have been encoded in the background should be ready to go, right?
Why is iDVD going through the encoding process despite having "completed" it in the background? Or am I misunderstanding what iDVD is encoding in the background?
...I've only used iDVD on three computers: a power mac G5, Powerbook G4 Titanium, and MacBook Pro C2Duo, but I've always had this issue. Background encoding happens but never seems to be actually used.

Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

Oh hai!
I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
Encoding failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
   I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations
•C:\Program Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\ProgramData\Adobe
d-removed these links from registry file
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software
result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
result :
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

The latest Divx 7 + Mac OS 10.5.8 ? DOESN'T WORK! At least for me...

I already posted this on DIVX LABS, without getting ANY help, also on Macrumors, without getting ANY help.... no I hope you guys here can help me
Hello,
I hope somebody can help me here since I didn't find help on that topic somewhere....
I downloaded the latest Divx, installed it and when I try to open it it crashes without really starting up and a text message appears:
"The Application "Divx Player" was unexpectedly closes" Mac Osx and other Programs are not effected." (I have a german version of Leopard so I somehow tried to translate it but Im sure the most of you are aware of that text)
When I try to watch a video in the web with the divx web player, it doesn't work, too.
The web player doesn't open either!!! And thats the most important thing why I need DIVX for me!
Because as long as I have the Codec I can watch DIVX Videos still with QUICK TIME but watching a WEB video doesn'T work!
I tried so many things, deleting, reinstalling, deleting , redownload, reinstalling
deleting it with PACIFIST (an app that locates all files on the hard drive that were installed), redownloading and reinstalling. Nothing helps.
If it helps someone this is what the Bug report says when I open DIVX and it crashes:

HI
First: thanks thanks and thanks for your quick respond.
I already have Perian.
I'm actually a little bit confused: So my situation is now: I have Perian and I have Divx installed. I had Perian installed before I installed Divx.
No what are my steps? Do I have to remove all files related to the DIVX package and download just the web player again and install it?
Or do I just have to delete the files in Library/Quicktimes related to DIVX and then download the web player and install it?
Thank you in advance

P.S. The problem is when I try to remove DIVX DECODER.Component and DIVX ENCODER.Component it always says: This file is in use right now and cannot be deleted.

Encoded video doesn't work on Toshiba Blu-ray disc player

I have a problem that I am trying to encode a sequence of frames in a video container , but the encoded video doesn't work on toshiba blu ray disc player .. I am using the following ffmpeg command to encode frames and convert them to a video:
ffmpeg -i "C:\ManVsWigan\Frames\%d.png" -vcodec libx264 "C:\ManVsWigan\encoded.mp4"
I tried multiple video codecs but no luck yet
"-vcodec mpeg4"
"-vcodec mpeg2video"
If you have any idea please help me

The BluRay player leverages parts of Windows DirectShow but won't serve very well as a general player since Windows will load other players for the majority of media formats.
You can get away with a limited amount of tampering of the BluRay's players tolerance of media files until you violate some far away written DRM safeguard and kneecapping the BluRay player from doing anything.
If you're trying to validate your ffmpeg composed tests of your content as part of the editing process, you're better to avoid relying on the BluRay player that is purposed for narrow replay of licensed content and equipped with oversensitive safeguards susceptible to malfunctioning from the invasions of video pirates like you defined by studio executives.
You and I understand you're not a pirate but chances aren't being taken.
Whether you just dowloaded FFmep in the macho exe format or part of the millions of other packages that include it, you can tune your players to codecs pretty easily with the KLite Codec Manager or the Registry.
Chances are you already know about KLite since editing video on Windows eventually requires it and its hard to walk down the street without eventually kiceking over a copy. But just in case you've been living on a Martian cave with your hands over your ears, snag a mirrored copy from: http://codecguide.com /download_kl.htm
I like KLite more than others because it is fairly unobtrusive and avoids stomping over other media tools the way Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas enslaves Windows and can neuter BluRay codecs without always adequately replacing them. I can cite threads on the matter but just googling for anything such as "Adobe Premier killed my BluRay" or "Sony Vegas ruined Windows" will usually return desperate strings of posts long enough to wrap around Jupiters equator.
For general maintenance of Windows poor codec management, grab this noninstalling executable http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html to determine if Windows believes it has the same codecs you thought it did and you'll likely be surprised by the fine tuning you'll need to perform.

Media Encoder, yes I know its been covered b4 but still doesn't work

I'm having the typical
"Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source" and I've tried the things explained here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407106.html. The catch is, this is a brand new install of Adobe Production Suite on a brand new computer. It was working perfectly fine for about a month or so, but then one day, nothing. No updates were run and no new software installed. I've a few other things that some members have posted but still nothing works. Very frustrating because I do this for work and have deadlines. Any one have any ideas. The only thing I can think that it could possibly be is that I upgraded to Flash 10 about a week b4 the problems started occurring. Otherwise, it doesn't work on files that have been moved around a little bit but "relocated" when asked where the files are, but it also doesn't work on files that have stayed put the whole time.

Details...hmm... all of the adobe products have been updated to the 4.2.something, whatever is the newest version. Lets see... i7 920 w/ 12GB ram, 3HDD (1 scratch, 1 OS, 1 data). Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit (no available updates).
Some details of the problem... I was using handbrake to rip some marketing material and was able to edit them in PPro, but as soon as I tried to encode them, that when the problems started, I assumed that it was because of the file format that I encoded with in handbrake. Anyways, I had to edit the video in Windows Movie Maker, then took the WMV and dropped it into Media Encoder and was able to encode to the proper media format then. Anyways, I got the side project done, then went back to my projects. I edit interviews on the green screen, encode alpha channel, and throw them up on websites. So I did my normal stuff, but now when I encode, or try, I always get the error from media encoder listed below.
- Source File: C:\Users\djensen\AppData\Local\Temp\Mike Ponce.prproj
- Output File: C:\Users\djensen\Desktop\MPonce_return.flv
- Preset Used: WorkPreset
- Video:
- Audio:
- Bitrate:
- Encoding Time: 00:42:41
11/23/2009 1:35:25 PM : Encoding Failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
I had moved the first video I tried editing after the side project, but any videos that were in their place before all this happened are getting the same error.
That's all the details that I can think of. Thanks for direction Harm, sometimes when you're stressed we forget the most important things eh?

H264 encoded flv doesn't work

I put the h264 packets into flv file with the flv file format in video_file_format_spec_v10.pdf. I used CodecID=7(AVC) and filled video data with h264 encoded packet. But it doesn't work. The codec lib is x264 with CABAC enctropy.
The test.flv file in attachment is what I created using x264. Below is the media infomation about test.flv.
Could someone help me? Thanks very much.

First of all you can't use h264 in an flv, Flash Video files encoded with the H264 codec must have the ending (mov, mp4 or F4V)
Those need to be preparated as Adobe recommends, best choice is to use the Adobe Media Encoder or an Adobe editing tool that outputs a proper h264 file.

-Dfile.encoding=Cp1251 doesn't work

How to setup default character encoding for jvm?
I use jdk 1.3.1 (build 1.3.1_04-b02) on Linux (Red Hat 7.2)
I've tried set -Dfile.encoding=Cp1251 as startup option, but it doesn't work.
Is there another way todo it?

You should use <getBytes(String encoding)> method of String class.
ex:
byte buffer[] = "some string".getBytes ("ISO8859_1");
We have a few big projects (previosly released on Win-platform), and now we try to use linux and have a problem. In my case, I try to set default encoding, used by some stream classes.
For example, when i write to System.out some string it's converted to system default enc, ex. koi8 or iso8895_1. But i need Cp1251 (windows-1251). Servlet output stream has same problem.
Classes, such PrintStream or other that use character converter not response to file.encoding parameter.
Test this code, for example:
sun.io.ByteToCharConverter theConv2 = sun.io.ByteToCharConverter.getDefault();
System.out.println ("default byte to char encoding:" + theConv2.getCharacterEncoding ());
sun.io.CharToByteConverter theConv = sun.io.CharToByteConverter.getDefault();
System.out.println ("default char to byte encoding:" + theConv.getCharacterEncoding ());
System.out.println ("file.encoding = " + System.getProperty ("file.encoding"));
sorry for my English - it's not my native language :)

Audio doesn't work after encoding

I have finished editing a video and gone to export it as a WMV and the audio doesn't work; there is just a buzzing noise.
The audio works fine on the timeline, but i just cannot export it.
Any ideas what's gone wrong?

Hi ATR, thanks for getting back to me. Here is all the info you required:
It's Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows 7 PC.
The source media is a mix of WMV, MP3 audio and JPGs.
The project settings are:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 25.00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
The export settings are:
Windows Media:
Presets: HD 720p 25
File type: Windows media
Frame size: 1280 x 720
Fps: 25
Audio settings: 440 kbps, 96kHz, 2 channel 24 bit VBR (I have tried it with a number of different variations on this and still had no luck)
I’ve tried opening with Windows media player as well as VLC. Neither are having it.

The main problem I see is that it's written in Javascript, and this is a forum about Java, not about Javascript.
I can tell you that in Java there's a method available to URL-encode URL parameter values. For all I know there's one in Javascript too. There should be, in my opinion, but not knowing the language very well I couldn't tell you if there really is one.

[Solved] archiso UEFI boot doesn't work.

I just followed the instruction on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … B_from_ISO, but it doesn't work as intended. It shows just 3 menu,
Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI USB
UEFI Shell x86_64 v1
UEFI Shell x86_64 v2
I thought, the first option is the way to go, but
Error loading \arch\boot\x86_64\vmlinuz: Not found
In fact, there is no \arch directory. The iso file downloaded was not broken, so I think something's missing either in the article or in the iso file.
edit : I found that, the name of 'arch' directory was changed to something like "?????????". I don't know why, but when I changed it to "arch" again, it works like a charm.
Last edited by kreoso (2012-11-01 16:54:57)

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I think there's some filename encoding issue because I wasn't able to rename ????????? to arch, instead I moved to arch2 then renamed arch2 to arch. Happy to say that worked for me too.
I should add that the same USB stick worked first time with my laptop, it was only when trying to boot my desktop in the same way that I hit this issue, so it seems sensitive to BIOS manufacturer/version.

'Find' function doesn't work on some HP documents

For some pdf doc's I downloaded from HP, if I copy some characters from the text and then paste them into the Find box, the characters show up as hieroglyphs (mostly squares) in the Find box. And then actually executing the Find using those characters doesn't work, because it can't find the very word that I copied them from! On top of that, if I manually type a word into the Find box (showing normal letters), it won't find it even though I can see it within the text on the page showing on the screen. Very strange! In documents other than these old HP documents, the Find function works fine.
I looked into the document properties (menu: File >> Properties >> Fonts) and see that there are 9 fonts that have names I have never heard of before, and those fonts say "(Embedded Subset)" after the font name and "Encoding: Custom" in the font descriptions. There were a few normal fonts listed before these for that document as well.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?

It's hard to say without seeing the actual, source content, but given what you are describing, I would venture a guess that the source content is of too poor a quality to OCR reliably and accurately. To test this theory, after running OCR, identify a term that you can confirm is present, but that the search feature cannot identify. Then, copy and paste that term into Word or Notepad. What I expect you will note is that a "0" (zero) has been identified as an "8," and other things of that nature. OCR processing is garbage in, garbage out, so the source always has to be considered. Repeat this process across the document to see if experience similar results.
You don't describe how exactly you are transferring the microfilm "images" to PDF, so it's difficult to say if that process is at issue or could be improved. I suspect that's contributing to the problem, though.
Finally, with regard to the degraded image quality, you want to make sure you are selecting "Searchable Image (Exact)" from the OCR dialogue. ClearScan or any type of downsampling will likely cause or contribute to the type of issue you are describing. In a situation with low-quality source material, you would not want to use these other options.
Hope that helps!

There is a bug with IE when downloading via https according to Microsoft support site. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812935
According to this bug, I have set the response header - "pragma" to public and "cache-control" to public. I've also unchecked the Do not save encrypted pages to disk setting in IE Options, Advanced tab.
Has anyone come across this problem or a similar problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have a URL from a jsp page which points to a struts action servlet. This works with firefox via http and https. With IE it works via http but it doesn't work via https. The error message I get is "Internet Explorer cannot download ...File_name.doc from Server_name.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
Here is my code.
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
               HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
               throws Exception {
          String attachmentURL = AppSettings.get("EAIAttachmentURL");
          String encodingScheme = AppSettings.get("EAI_encoding");
          String filename = request.getParameter("URL");
          String fileStr = URLEncoder.encode(filename, encodingScheme);
          fileStr = fileStr.replaceAll("\\+","%20");
          URL targetURL = new URL(attachmentURL + "/" + fileStr);
          URLConnection connection = targetURL.openConnection();
          connection.setDoInput(true);
          connection.setDoOutput(false);
          connection.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
