Extracting media files from iMovie

In previous versions of iMovie the project was actually a folder that had a subdirectory that had the raw media files in it. These are very useful when i want to use the data in Final Cut Pro.
How can I get to them within the Mac OS?
I know they still exist, because when I use Parallels and Windows XP to browse they show up as folders and I can make copies using the windows system to another place. But this is cumbersome.
Is there a way to make the Mac OS recognize it as a folder so i can directly (and easily) access the media files?
Tom

welcome Tom to the  iMovie boards ...
the folders are still there... but 'hiddin':
ctrl-click in Finder on your project's icon
choose 'show package content'
tadaahh.. the media folder..
be careful, iM files are very fragile..

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

Extracting .xls file from an FTP site

Hi there,

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

How to extract a still from iMovie to create a jpg

I suggest that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip.

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Utility to extract ADS file from Planning application

Hi,
We had a Planning System 9.3 Classic application. We wanted to create a replica of the same as an EPMA application. We used a utility to extract ADS file from classic application. Post that the classic application has locked i.e we are not able to edit it. All dimensions are in view mode. Kindly let us know how to revert back in edit mode for classic application.
Thanks and Regards,
Meenal Dhall

Hi,
I think you have come across the bug in the EPMA extractor, if I remember correctly it changes a value in a table which stops you editing in classic.
You can resolve this looking at your planning system database.
There is a table called HSPSYS_PROPERTIES.
The field property_id is the application id, you find what application it relates to by looking at HSPSYS_APPLICATION
Once you know the id for your application
In the table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES look for a row with EDIT_DIM_ENABLED and change the value in the next field from false to true
Restart planning and you should be able to edit again.
Cheers
John

Media editor - Browse media files from a custom location

Hi,
I am using media banner cartridge, which provides a media editor for choosing media files. The media files have to be in Endeca\Apps\<application>\config\media folder for me to browse the media files from media editor. Is there a way to change this location to some other custom location say doc root of my webserver ?

Thanks Kristen, Naresh for your responses.
Kristen,
I had earlier read through the documentation for storing media assets directly in MDEX. However, what i understood is that it would require a separate MDEX instance (the document calls it media MDEX engine) and thereby additional licenses. Is my understanding correct? I was very keen on the MDEX approach earlier as there are limitations with ECR (wrt to # of media files and size). If the MDEX approach wont require additional instance, then certainly that is the approach i would take. Kindly advise.
