Encodes wrong files

Hello!
first off i would like to say that adobe has the worst customer support and website usability out of any company i have ever been associated with.
including open sourced products that have no obligation to provide good, or even mediocre support to their (non-paying) customers.
so please, if anybody remotely high up in the Adobe chain of command could fix this, i would stop considering FCPX or Avid as options for video editing solutions, and ultimately be happy as a customer.
Don't get me wrong, i love adobe, always have and (hopefully) always will. but when i need support i cannot get it for hours on the phone. and finding the correct forum placement or help site is technically impossible.
But i digress.
I am trying to use AME to convert MTS files from my canon C100 into MOV or MP4 files so i can edit them in premiere pro.
but i ran into this problem that makes no sense, maybe its just a bug, but i would love some help.
when i converted my files everything went fantastic, as one would expect with adobe software.
but i started editing and realized that clip #11 was duplicated 2 times
or in other words, Clip 00011.MTS, 00012.MTS and 00013.MTS (named correctly) were all the same exact file.
so i dragged #12 and #13 back into media encoder and had the same problem, they were both replicas of #11 (even though clip #11 wasn't even in the que)
so i opened the files in film convert, and a trial of an AVCHD conver for mac and the orignal .MTS files #11, #12, and #13 were completely different and unique.
but everytime i clear the que, restart the program, etc. the files show up as replicas of #11
is there a way to completely clear the apps cache? or is this a bug? file 00014.mts shows up as a separate file. but #12 and #13 don't
i am using a mac, and i am pulling the files from the "Stream" folder, not opening the AVCHD folder/file.
any help would be greatly appriciated.

AME, working as designed, incorrectly converts 1 file as an entirely different file that isn't even in the same que, twice? And then just moves on to convert the 4th file correctly?
I'm not complaining because as you pointed out i can edit the files raw, and unconverted.
But for previewing for my clients, mov or mp4 are much more acceptable formats.
Hmm, I was unaware prelude could convert footage. I haven't used it much, thank you.
Is that so? I figured there was a loophole like that somewhere.
If it can accept .MTS files from direct link, why can it not accept them (or .mp4 files in my experience) just going into the program?
Seems like an odd thing for it to do.
Thank you for your reply, I learned a lot today.

Problems with encoding and files

Hi friends pls some help my problems is the following
I have a ftp server running on linux and in my program I download files from the ftp server using class specified below.When I download the file content not all content is coming ok. For example I have a string with
Ra�l��1234%#=?[a_@ and when I read content using my methods this part is retirved ok Ra and this one is retrived wrong ��
whith characteres very stranges.
I suppose that the problem is with the encoding, then all day I tried some settings in the class new InputStreamReader.First the encoding UTF-8 because I have created the file using this encoding. Something like this:
in = new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(localFtp.get(serverFile)),"UTF-8");
but does not work
After I realized that I use the statement localFtp.ascii();
declaring that the content will be downloaded in ascii encoding so
I made this change :
in = new InputStreamReader(new GZIPInputStream(localFtp.get(serverFile)),"US-ASCII");
but still does not work
Please somebody can help me this is very urgent
Here is my code

Err.. GZIP files are not text files so why are you trying to read them using Readers?

Won't encode mts file?

I do this almost everyday at school, with the same Premiere Pro version as I got here a home - CS4. But at home it won't encode mts file. It says that the file is not supported. What can I do to make it it "supportive"?? Don't know what's wrong, and it's killing me.
Thanks.
Rebekka.

Matched song is encoded wrong on iTunes 256 kbps version

iTunes successfully matched the song "No More Love" by God Lives Underwater, and when I retrieved the song from iCloud on another device, there is an error at time 0:53. There is about a half second of a totally different song right in the middle of the track! I tried deleting the file and re-downloading from the cloud, but the error is always there; the track is therefore not having an error in downloading — it must be encoded wrong in the iTunes Store! How can I get this remedied?

I can confirm this, I have the same error at the same point in this song on the iTunes matched version.

Wrong File Plays After DVD Burn

So my iDVD file works perfectly, and after days of building, is finally ready to burn. After doing so, one of the files, which works perfectly in iDVD, burns out the wrong movie. I've burned a few discs, and it keeps burning the wrong track. There are about 10 different movies on the DVD, all of which are fine except for the one. I've tried deleting the file, re-importing it, then burning again... and it burns the same wrong file again. The movie that actually burns is also another movie in the same sub-menu, so I get two of the same movie. In preview mode, its the right movie. In all menu windows its the right movie. Just on the burned DVD is it wrong.
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Always save the iDVD project as a disk image before burning. That way you can check out the encoding process to make sure it went as intended before committing to disk.
You might try opening the iDVD project and use the Advanced->Delete Encoded Assets menu option and then do a File->Save as Disk Image. See if that will clear up the issue.

Backup MaxDB 7.6 mit HP Data Protector; Wrong file type

Hallo.
Wir versuchen, eine MaxDB-Datenbank (Rel. 7.6) auf SUSE-LINUX unter Verwendung von HP Data Protector zu sichern. Der Versuch, das Backup durchzuführen, schlägt fehl, da auf dem MaxDB-Server anscheinend die Pipe nicht angelegt werden kann. Folgende Meldung wird ausgegeben:

Hi Marcus,
we use the version 5.5.
The pipe name is generated by the Data Protector. When I want to create manually a pipe with this name I got the message "No hit found".
Do you know a possibilty where we can configure (at Data Protector or MaxDB) which medium name should be used for creating the pipe?
Thanks a lot!

Itunes points to wrong files - points to random system files instead of mp3

I noticed this about a year and a half ago when my ipod would have an error that some of the files couldnt be transfrered. Upon further inspection, it seems itunes occasionally gets confused about where files are located. The files will look fine in itunes but wont play. If I right click on them and chose "show in finder" the file that should be an mp3 in my library, is actually pointed at ical/contents/resources/italian.Ipoj/iCal Help/gfx/priority.gif
Which is totally bonkers. It's a totally random operating file.
Now I could go in and delete and re-import these files. Eventually that is what I have ended up doing in the past. But now it's happened to about 700 files (out of about 18,000) and it would take a century for me to go through each track and find out which ones that has happened to.
I know there are some applescripts out there for missing and dead tracks, but I can't seem to find one that just checks that we're pointing to the CORRECT file. keep in mind, these correct files actually are where they are supposed to be. Itunes is just linking to the wrong files.
Message was edited by: James Campbell

I am experiencing the same problem and after restoring from backup I either still have some wrong pointers or the problem is returning.
One way to find out which tracks are pointing to random files is to sync your whole music library either in one go if it's small enough or in parts to an iphone or ipod. You will then get a dialog with all the files that won't play on the device.
How do I relink them manually? Can't work it out.

IPhone photo/video library glitch - wrong file extensions, name shift, lost files etc [LONG story - sorry]

I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?

In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer.

"Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder full ?

Hello,
I'm on latest version of both Premiere and Media Encoder, I'm working on PC/7 (64bits)/i7/Cuda,
What is "Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files" folder ?
C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
How to purge it NOT manually ? Why is it created ? How to deplace it or remove it ?
I've plenty of videos into my batch, and as soon as this folder is full, it's not exporting anymore. Even if all the old previewes are used and exported, they are not removed or automaticly deleted.
I've tried to move this folder of my D: through adobe media encoder preferences... impossible to find its reference somewhere.
If you have any idea, thanks a lot

Bonjour,
je suis sous la dernière version de Media Encoder CC 7.2.2.29 (je suis abonné au Cloud) et j'exporte via file d'attente sous premiere CC.
J'ai le dossier suivant :
C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\Adobe Adobe Media Encoder Preview Files\7.PRV
qui s'engorge et ne se vide jamais, et donc sature mon disque dur OS et software sous C:
Je n'arrive pas à délocaliser ce dossier, via les préférences de Media Encoder par exemple.
D'ailleurs, je me demande même le pourquoi de son existence, et encore plus, pourquoi ne se vide-t-il pas lui même lorsque l'exportation est finie.
J'ai un batch de vidéos énorme à exporter, du coup, il sature le C: et du coup, je me lève le matin et seulement la moitié de mes exportations sont faites. Sympa pour mes deadlines.
A noter que :
- via les préférences de media encoder, j'ai désactivé les previews (la petite fenêtre qui permet de voir l'évolution et progression de la vidéo sous encoder), ça change rien.
- ce dossier ne se remplit évidemment pas, lorsque j'exporte directement via Premiere, sans passer par la liste d'attente de media encoder ("exporter" et non "file d'attente" donc.)
- je coche systématiquement sous premiere "rendu à la résolution maximale", "utiliser la qualité de rendu maximal" (jamais compris le pourquoi de ces deux trucs d'ailleurs, j'ai jamais l'impression que ça changeait un truc) et "utilisez les prévisualisations" (qui sont déjà rendues en vert, évidemment)
Merci pour vos lumières !

XML file with an attached MIME encoded ZIP file

Hi all,
I'm new to SAP WAS and MIME encoding/decoding, and I'm trying to generate an XML file with an attachment which is also MIME encoded.
1) I have dummy files (1.jpg, 2.jpg) and I'm trying to zip these files into one zip file (files.zip).
2) I'm trying to MIME encode/decode this zip file.
3) I'm trying to attach this MIME encoded zip file to existing XML file.
Which FMs could I use to accomplish this? Your help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
below is a file example that I'm trying to generate.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
     boundary="--XXXXboundary text"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Just create an applet (extend JApplet)... add a JTextArea to it....fill the text area with the text from an XML doc.
To get the text of the XML doc just do something like..
File xmlFile = new File("<path to xml file>");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(xmlFile);
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) xmlFile.length()];
fis.read(bytes);
fis.close();
String xmlText = new String(xmlBytes);
textArea.setText(xmlText);
...try something like that (assuming..i understand what it is u want)

Best way to encode Quicktime file for the web?

Hello all and thanks in advance for your help with this problem.
I need to know the best way to encode a quicktime clip for the web.
This was my first try:
http://www.denmothers.net/trailer-big.htm
It works fine in safari, firefox, and ie for mac, provided they have quicktime 6 or later but it seems not to work on pc browsers. The file is encoded as an .mp4 using compressor and played with the browser's quicktime plugin. I've read that encoding files as a .mov provides greater compatibility but when i compress it as a .mov using the mpeg4 codec the file sizes are huge and when i use the photo-jpeg codec the quality is poor. h.264 looks great and has low file sizes but then my viewers have to have quicktime 7 which i think is too limiting because many will have older computers.
How should I encode my file such that it works best across browsers and platforms and has the highest quality at the lowest size?
Best,
Keegan

If you open an .mp4 file in quicktime pro you can then select File->Save-As and you are presented with two options:
Save as self-contained: This will create a .mov that is the same size as your .mp4 but is playable on any system w/ QuickTime 6 and the Mpeg-4 codec. (PC's included).
Save as reference: This will create a small (>500kb) file that will simply reference the .mp4. If they're in the same folder the .mov created will open the .mp4. Without the .mp4 the .mov in this case is useless.
For what you're trying to do I suggest going with self-contained.

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

2005 Help center is it complete or is it the wrong file..?

Ihave just downloaded the 2005 sdk help Center to get some information abou the UserQueries Object and the downloaded file (b1_sdk.zip) starts off with the homepage titled
'SAP Business One SDK 2004' !! and no ref at all to the UserQueries Object.
so question is twofold
is the 2005 SDK helpcenter incorrect(ie Wrong file linked)
and 2 where can I get some detail about the UserQueries Object
thanks..

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/businessone
is where I got it from.
Looks like you have found the same error,
i installed the 2005 sdk from a 2005 release CD but the help file was NOT installed with it ,(and the CD is at the head office)
But if there is a link to the correct file anywhere I would appreciateit
thanks
Maybe someone from SAP can correct the file and let us know
