Extracting files from a PP to create an iMovie

I have a DVD from my family (nothing copyrighted) that is basically a PowerPoint file with a bunch of different photos set to music. I want to see how I can (if I can) extract those photos so that I can create an iMovie with them, as the PowerPoint can only be played on a computer, and my father-in-law wants to be able to play it on his DVD player attached to his television. Any advice on software or processes? Thanks.

Open the .ppt file in PowerPoint. Go to File->Save As, then choose .tif or .jpg as the file format and then select a location to save. PP will ask if you want to save all slides or just the current one; choose all.
The slides will be saved in a folder at the location and in the format you specified.
Import the slides into iMovie.
FWIW, next time you have an iMovie question, it might help get you better or quicker answers if you posted it in the iMovie forum. This is the DVD Studio Pro forum.

Extracting files from Portfolio - problem with outlook email created portfolios

Currently I have developed a plugin that can extract files from portfolios using:-
PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles"));
and
PDFileAttachmentFromCosObj
But i've noticed with Outlook email created portfolios the above is PDNameTree invalid. any suggestions? is it under another atom string or something?
Thanks,
Lee.

ok, found something out here... if I close the doc using AVDocClose then re-open in the code using PDDocOpen then the PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles")); works!!!
but now I have a problem getting the original pdf open filename.
usually can get it with below code but it's returning the Folder path + garbage instead. (this only happens with portfolios created by outlook that I have tested)
There must be a better way of doing this, any ideas? thanks, lee.
ASFile asFile = PDDocGetFile(pdDoc);
ASPathName asPathName = ASFileAcquirePathName(asFile);
char* temp = ASFileSysDIPathFromPath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), asPathName, NULL);

Extracting file from a TAR file with java.util.zip.* classes

Is there a way to extract files from a .TAR file using the java.util.zip.* classes?
I tried in some ways but I get the following error:
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java127)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java92)
Thank you
Giuseppe

download the tar.jar from the above link and use the sample program below
import com.ice.tar.*;
import java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream;
import java.io.*;
public class untarFiles
     public static void main(String args[]){
          try{
          untar("c:/split/20040826172459.tar.gz",new File("c:/split/"));
          }catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     private static void untar(String tarFileName, File dest)throws IOException{
          //assuming the file you pass in is not a dir
          dest.mkdir();
          //create tar input stream from a .tar.gz file
          TarInputStream tin = new TarInputStream( new GZIPInputStream( new FileInputStream(new File(tarFileName))));
          //get the first entry in the archive
          TarEntry tarEntry = tin.getNextEntry();
          while (tarEntry != null){//create a file with the same name as the tarEntry
               File destPath = new File(
               dest.toString() + File.separatorChar + tarEntry.getName());
               if(tarEntry.isDirectory()){
                    destPath.mkdir();
               }else {
                    FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(destPath);
                    tin.copyEntryContents(fout);
                    fout.close();
               tarEntry = tin.getNextEntry();
          tin.close();
}

Hello!
I have a
MacBookPro5,5
Prozessortyp:Intel Core 2 Duo

Problem:
I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine for a month. To free up disk space I deleted some of the iPhoto flders (modfied and original images). Everything worked still fine. Shut down the computer. Next day it was incredibly slow. At the same time the indexing was running. I stopped indexing, but stll slow. Every operation took minutes. I tried all the tricks that I found in the internet (repaired file permissions, repaired disk, cleared PRAM , moved big filed from desktop, etc.). After 24 full hours of trying all this I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall, directly from the Snow Leopard Install disk, but it fails after downloading the packages. Below is the part of the log. Then I tried to use the old Leopard install DVD to reinstall Leopard, it then sais estimated time 12 hours or so and eventually crashed, spitting out a lot of "reportcrash" in the log. What is going on? I'm running out of options. Any advice? Would zeroing the hard drive help? If nothing else I plan to buy a new hard drive, since the only explanation I have is that there is a problem with the hard driven although the disk utility says it is OK. I need a bigger one anyway. Any ideas? Thank you!

It sounds to me like your Internal Hard Drive is failing.
I recommend you buy a new one, that is a good candidate for replacing the old one, but install it in an External enclosure and Install a fresh Mac OS X on it from the DVD. You can boot your Mac from any attached drive.
The new System can be used to get some work done, check your emails, and takes the pressure off resolving this immediately. You can also attempt to salvage files off the old drive if needed.
Once things seem to be working, then move the new drive inside the computer. Failures at this point may be due to bad cable, which has been a problem in some of these MacBooks.
Use security erase, write Zeroes, one pass, to re-write every block on the old drive. Any block discovered to be bad will be replaced with spares the drive holds in reserve for this purpose. If more than 10 blocks are pared on one pass, "Initialization Failed!" will be the result. Although you can try the erase again, there is some question whether you want to trust this drive with your precious data.

what version of pages?
what is the files type that you are trying to export?
what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

Hi Guys,
Anybody out there knowing how to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS ?
I am having 1 ipa file created using Xcode, Now i need to include that file in my ipa Package which is created using Flash CS 5.5 and Air for iOS. Also i need to know how to open my 1st ipa file from AS3 ?
Thanks,

Ps: I am not talking about in-app but 2 individual apps inside one package.

Hey corrafromlondon,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the installer file isn't working. Have you tried deleting the installer and redownloading the installer? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

HT3905 importing iFrame files from my Panasonic HX-DC2 to iMovie?

importing iFrame files from my Panasonic HX-DC2 to iMovie?

After searching the internet I ended up buying VoltaicHD for $30 by downloading it from the "Shedworx" website. The way it works is: you attach the HDC-SD9 to your MAC with the supplied USB cable. The HDD and SD card will show up on your desktop. If you open each one, you'll find a file called "Stream" which will contain all of your video clips. Drag and drop each file to the Voltaic window and start the decompression process by simply hitting start. Tell Voltaic where you want the files to be stored on your computer and then be very patient, because the process can take a long time. But it does work. The MTS files in your camera are converted to Quicktime files which can be imported to Final Cut or iMovie. It's time consuming, but you do get HD files out of the process, although the audio is only stereo and not 5.1 surround sound.

Can't Extract Files from System Image DVD

I recently created a Windows 7 system image onto DVD-RWs as my HDD was suspect. The HDD was replaced under warranty. When I came to restore the system image I got up to the fourth DVD and the process would not go any further (could not read the DVD).
I then tried to extract some of the more important files from the first three disks that the restore process had read successfully. I used the AttachVHD option under Computer management however for every .vhd file which I tried to attach I received a "The file or directory is corrupted anf unreadable" error message from the Virtual Disk Manager.
I also tried 7-Zip to extract files but received the message "Can not open file as archive" each time.
Can any one throw any light on why I can't read these .vfd files?

Only last night a user went through the same situation as you are going through. Details are important. For now I am assuming that your computer is Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. If other post immediately to let me know.
1. You need two files from Adobe, one .exe and the other .7z. If you have a 64 bit computer operating system
make sure the you see 64 in the name of the file.
2. Assure that you have antivirus and firewall disabled.
3. Right click the .exe file and select Run As Administrator. The double click the .exe to Run it. This will lead
you into the 7z which is the program.
If the desktop is not working as the destination for the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder which will be present after the 7z has completed, then set it to Documents.
In the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder, double click the PRE12 Folder to find the Setup.exe from which you will
install the program.
I will be back in a moment to add the link to last night's thread where we went through what you are going through now.
Make sure at the onset that you have the right files to be used with your specific operating system.

Executing or Extracting files from JAR

Hello all,
I've written a small application that needs to be able to launch a help file (in the form *.chm*) from a menu bar. My question/problem is one of efficiency. In order to execute the *.chm* booklet I've written code that gets the files from within the JAR as an InputStream and writes it to a directory so it can be displayed. In order for the booklet to launch properly I have to write about 12 files (stylesheets and supporting scripts) to a directory; tedious and wasteful it seems. Since a JAR file is essentially a ZIP file, shouldn't I be able to extract the files to a directory without reading and writing each file individually? Can anyone direct/show me another method of doing this? Can I launch the files from within the JAR itself? The code I am using is as follows...
InputStream helpContent=this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("appContent.chm");
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(helpContent));
     try{
          BufferedWriter writer=new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("helpContent.chm"));
          while(true){
               if(!reader.ready()){
                    break;
               writer.write(reader.readLine());
          writer.flush();
          writer.close();
          reader.close();
                }This snippet of code would inevitably be run/looped for each file necessary to achieve proper output.

The extraction is working properly now. I'm implementing code based on veldhanas suggests; thank you very much Veldhanas. At first the code was throwing a FileNotFoundException on the MANIFEST file. I found that it's because while cycling through as an enumeration it wasn't picking up on the fact that the MANIFEST lies in a subdirectory of the jar itself "META-INF. To solve this problem I create the subdirectory myself via
{code}
          File metaDir=new File("./META-INF");
          metaDir.mkdir();
{code}
The code I'm implementing is as follows...
{code}
          int jarReturnValue=jarChooser.showOpenDialog(null);
          if(jarReturnValue==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
                    //get the selected file from chooser
               jarFile=jarChooser.getSelectedFile();
                    //display the file location
               System.out.println(jarFile.toString());
               File metaDir=new File("./META-INF");
               metaDir.mkdir();
               try{
                         //new instance of a jarfile object
                    jar=new JarFile(jarFile);
                    e=jar.entries();     //store the entries within an enumeration
                         //cycle through the jarfile elements as "Enum"
                    while(e.hasMoreElements()){
                         JarEntry innerFile=(JarEntry)e.nextElement();
                         System.out.println(innerFile.toString());
                         File outputFile=new File(destDir+File.separator+innerFile.toString());
                         System.out.println(outputFile.toString());
                              //if the inner which at current iteration is dir, make dir
                         if(innerFile.isDirectory()){
                              outputFile.mkdir();
                              continue;
                              //inputstream is the file within the zip/jar to read from
                         inputStream=jar.getInputStream(innerFile);
                              //fileoutput stream is the file to create outside of the jar
                         fileOutputStream=new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
                              //while there is information to be read
                         while(inputStream.available()>0){
                                   //write the contents of the inner file to the outter file
                              fileOutputStream.write(inputStream.read());
                         fileOutputStream.flush();
                         fileOutputStream.close();
                         inputStream.close();
               }catch(Exception ex){

Extract File from CD

I've looked around but can't seem to find a way to extract an audio file from a CD. I'm certain this was possible with Audition. I assume that Soundbooth (as part of my Master Bundle)is regarded by Adobe as superior to Audition but I feel there are missing requirements. I've resorted to using 'Wavelab 6' to extract CD audio but it does seem cumbersome.

Perhaps with so many free rippers out there they didn't feel the need to include the facility.
EAC (Exact Audio Copy), CDex, VUPlayer are some that spring to mind.
