Do I need to convert my 12-bit camera to 8bits to "grab and save an .avi file? If so, HOW?

i am using a 12-bit camera with imaq-vision software, the latest version, along with labveiw 7.0. I narrowed the error down to the ACI write frame icon. It is giving me an error that the image type is not correct. leaving the error image is not compatible error #1074396077. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Some cameras offer the option of 8 bit output, or you might be able to do it in MAX. If not, you will need to convert each image from 16 bit to 8 bit using a 4 bit shift and IMAQ Cast Image. Wire the 16 bit image as the source and an 8 bit image as the destination. Wire the output image to the AVI Write vi.

  • Is there an application that can batch convert wma to m4a and save the output files to their respective original file location?

    I need to convert thousands (yes, really) of wma files to m4a.  The wma files are all located in different folders and each converted m4a file needs to end up in the same folder as its respective original wma file.  Does anyone know of an application that can do this?
    Thanks,

    I'm not completely sure that MPEG Streamclip can convert AVCHD footage (.mts files).  If MPEG Streamclip doesn't do the job, then get a copy of Clipwrap, which was designed for transcoding .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (that's the format/codec you need to convert the .mts files to for use in FCE).

  • I need to download all my emails from an html server account and archve them on my PC. How?

    I have a paid email account on Spamcop, which will be shut down in a few days. I want to download all my emails, inbox and sent-mail, to my PC and archive them -- before deleting them from the server. I currently have a "mirror" of the server in Thunderbird; but I don't want to lose any of those emails when I clean off the server.
    What do I need to do to accomplish this?
    PS: I'm a new user who hasn't had a PC-based email client for at least 8 years.

    Move all messages to your 'Local Folders' account. You can create folders underneath 'Local Folders' to mirror any folder structure you may have on the server.
    To move messages to Local Folders:
    Select the messages to be moved on the server.
    Right-click the selected messages - choose 'Copy To'
    Select 'Local Folders' as destination.
    Once the messages have been successfully copied to your disk you can delete them on the server.

  • Need help converting PSD to EPS using Illustrator

    Hello everyone!
    I'm trying to convert .psd files into an .eps using a batch process in Illustrator. I know you can save a .psd into an .eps in Photoshop, but it ends up flattening most of the image and I need all text to remain editable in Illustrator.
    What happens is when I manually open a .psd I can choose to convert Photoshop layers to objects, leaving the text editable and allowing me to flatten transparencies without flattening the entire image and rendering it uneditable. I record the action and then run it as a batch, but it will automatically open the .psd with the layers flattened into a single image. I don't want it to be a single image because when it is printed out the lines and text come out jagged looking, as if there is no anti-alias applied to the image. If I print it out after doing to the process manually the text and lines come out smooth as it should with anti-alias applied to the image. Is there anyone who know how to run a batch where it will open the .psd with the layers converted to objects automatically? I tried opening a file while I was recording the action, but it would only apply the actions to that particular file and just open the rest without applying any of the actions. I know this process may seem a bit much, but this is for a special process we have implemented and this seems to be the only answer at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Just a suggestion - I use this for 'problematic' clients who modify their text/images a lot and in a short space of time. It's cumbersome but it keeps everything editable and easy to keep track of. Personally I export to pdf. Does Opensource not support that format?
    Dump your psd file into Illustrator as a background image. Place your type over the image as required, with effects as required. When done, delete the psd file and save the Ai file as is, with editable fonts - no need to outline them or convert effects. Save the psd file as a tiff and place it into a page in Indesign. Place the Ai text file on top of it and export the single Indesign page file as a pdf or eps. Then if someone asks for the text matter - or the image content - to be modified, either part can be very swiftly amended and re-exported out of Indesign, so that your pdf or eps still contains "live" fonts as opposed to vectors, (the advantage being that even the eps/pdf is editable at that point). Indesign recognises that a file has been updated, so you can update the master composite on the fly.
    The nice thing about this is that you can assemble multiple composite artwork pages in Indesign and export the whole lot as individual eps files in one batch, or as part batches. And keep a master Indesign job file of the whole shooting match that can be collected into organised folders if you need to. I don't know how Indesign would export psd files to an eps format because I've never tried it. I prefer to flatten a copy to tiff, because then I know there is just one master file with no layers and no chance of a bit falling off somewhere, although there's no real reason why it should!
    All the best

  • Converting .mpg and .mov to .avi

    I am on OS X 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4
    I am trying to convert .mov and .mpg to .avi files. This is so that I can insert these files into a powerpoint presentation and they will run better. I downloaded iSquint but that only seems to help me convert video files to mpg4.
    Any advice on how to save as an avi?

    I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.
