Failure to embed Mp4 video [From hard disk and host]

Hi guys,
Im Terra - new here and learning DW even more everyday...
But I've come stuck the last few hours, so I could do with a little assitance, thanks in advance...
I've been trying to insert an mp4 file into a div; which is successful. But when I try to preview play it in DW, I get the error code: "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. DW looks both in the "Config/plugins" folder, and the plugins folder of each of your browsers." ...When I also try and preview in FF, inside the div, it says "need additional plugins to play" so I continue and let FF look for plugins, FF finds none.
What I ideally like to do, is host the video file from photobucket. Now, I can do this with a simple embed code, but when played from a browser it's played in the default photobucket player which is bundled with a watermark and offering up relative videos at the end, which I would prefer not to see.
Cheers
TerraPin.

Are you trying to test from DW or saving file and previewing in browser?

How to transfer video from hard disk to i tune?

how to transfer video from hard disk to i tune? can any one please?? help me also in guiding if anything else is required to be done to transfer the content to ipad....

Drag it into the open iTunes application window. You may need to use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 first.

I had bought wi-reader and can play video format like .mp4 directly from hard disk attached to wi-readerbut just wondering if I can play other video file from device like avi.

Pls advise

Well, in my opionion, you've moved things around so much, it would be better to just clear your current iTunes library and rebuild it.
IMPORTANT - I am talking about clearing the iTunes library file, not deleting song files from your hard drive.
I personally never use WAV files, because I like the tags that come with MP3. I'm a pleasure listener - I don't need WAV files for professional reasons.
When I first got iTunes, yeah, I took the default settings and ripped all my CDs in AAC format (they have .m4a file extensions). I regret this, in one way, because they won't work in other Windows applications & other portable devices. But, they sound great on my iPod and don't take up so much drive space as other formats.
edit: I've no idea what you're talking about with the GraceNotes vinyl lookup. AFAIK, you're going to have to re-rip the CDs in a non-WAV format to get the ID3 tags. But you can google to find more info on that.

Importing video from hard disk

I have quicktime 7.1.3 and I have .mpg file movies taken from my sony digital cd mavica-they play fine in quicktime but I cannot import them to imovie-
I read somewhere that I need quicktime 6.5 and I need to uninstall quicktime 7.1.3-
true, and how do I do that OR what is a solution for me?
Thanks!

Hi Guccigirl:
Welcome t odiscussions!
QT 6.5.2 with imovie 4 and OS 10.3.9 is often suggested here for those using DV tape cameras. In your case, I don't think it will matter.
You do not have a firewire on your camera so you will have to suffer with the slower USB tansfer.
iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips (and that's what you're trying to do)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42996
You'll need:
MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free) and the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).
http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
Once you do that...these are the steps I once copied from a DCR-SR100 user...(I have not done this myself)
To transfer the data to the IMAC:
1- Plug the USB cable, once detected (5s), press HDD on the touch creen panel
2- Go to Finder (on the Mac) then open the videos folder /MP_ROOT/100PNV01/M2U0001.MPG for example
3- Drag the .MPG file to the mac
4- Start Streamclip (see message further up the discussion)
Export using for example .DV format, readable by I-Movie.
5-Import the new file in I-movie

I have limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk

I have a limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk and just leave it on my 60Gb ipod, BUT I dont want to have to log in as a guest every time.
Any suggestions

Follow the instructions in this article and then delete the songs from your computer; they will not be deleted from the iPod automatically. You should have or make another copy of the songs before deleting them from the computer, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

Deleting photos from hard disk

Hi, I have all of my photos on my hard disk and external hard drive. After I back up onto DVDs I would like to delete all of them off of my Mac (to free up some space).
My question is, will I still see the thumbnails without having to connect the external hard drive (I do a lot of photo editing).
Also, is there a correct way to delete, or should I just drag them into trash.
Finally, if I spotlight search a photo, several are found of the same photo - why is this and how can I clean it up.
As you have probably realised, I am not completely computer savvy and would appreciate any answers in a "Jack & Jill" style
Many thanks

Macssonew:
First, iPHoto creates a minimum of 2 versions of each photo imported into the library, the original and the thumbnail file. If you edit a photo in iPhoto a 3rd version is created in the Modified folder. You cannot change that. It's how iPhoto works.
I need more info on how you have things set up before I can advise you what your options are. How is your library setup currently? Do you copy files into the library when importing? Does the library contain the image files that are on the external HD?
For what I understand now, you might be better served with multiple libraries, one smaller library on your laptop with current photos and a larger library on the external HD with the remaining photos. You can copy events or albums between libraries with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager and keep keywords, comments, titles and any edited version intact.
Or you might consider a more professional application, iView MediaPro, which can keep the "source" files on an external HD and have a catalog of them with thumbnails up to 640 x 480 on the laptop. You'd still be able to view the large thumbnails with the external HD not mounted assign keywords and other annotations, group into catalog sets or categories (albums in iPhoto), etc.
Going the alias route has some big pitfalls. Without the source files available you can only see the thumbnails at their small size. You can't move them to albums or assign keywords. It's pretty limiting. If you have any video files in the library you won't be able to use it at all. iPhoto will continuously ask you to locate the video file. It can't operated with the video file missing as it can with the still image files missing.
If you can describe exactly how things are set up and located we can better give you some ideas to pursue.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Should I boot from external hard disk and how do I achieve this?

I'm in a downward spiral and need advice about if booting off of an external hard disc is the right thing to do and how to go about it. How I got into this mess I'll write below. My immediate problem is that I want to be able to install a copy of osx 10.5 from the original disks that came with my computer onto a usb hard drive. Then I want to boot from that drive and install software such as disk warrior on the same external hard drive in order to repair and recover the files on my internal hard disk. Not sure if this is easy to do with the install disk that came boxed with my macbook. So is what I want to do feasible and how do I do it? Thanks.
How did I get into this mess?
For those with time to read more. A downward spiral (and my macbook was working fine)::
I have been backing up my work documents onto a 20 GB pendrive waiting to get the money to buy an nas to work with time machine for the two macbooks we have at home as a place to backup photos and video. I bought a network drive but it wouldn't work with my macbook; my time machine backup freezing at 3 gb, but works fine with wife's macbook pro.
I tried to do TM backup on a usb hard disk and got the same problem. Support forums indicated that hard disk problems could confuse TM, so although I was experiencing problem free computing I ran disk utility from internal osx. This indicated an <invalid node structure - file system verify or repair failed> at the checking catalog file stage. So I followed instructions to run disk utility and repair from the installation disk. When I ran disk utility from installation disk I get exactly the same <invalid node structure - file system verify or repair failed>. It gets worse.
After failing with install disk utility, I could not then boot from my hard disk (I had had trouble free computing up to my attempts to use TM) or eject the disk. At first attempt I had no option but to boot from dvd again as hd not offered as an option. Second attempt hd option available but fails. By reading advice given to others I managed to eject the dvd and have tried:
safe boot - it won't
boot in verbose mode and single user (indicates I have disk0s2:I/O error) and won't boot
try to use disk utility from install disk to create disk image on external hd, it won't (cites i/o error)
If I can boot from an external I will try to repair with Disk Warrior as forums indicate that this software has been able to solve <invalid node structure> issues (but am open to recommendations of other products). I also hope that I may be able to try again to burn a disk image sucessfully if this repair works. I'm still trying to save my photos and videos that aren't backed up.
I plan to try an archive and install installation but first I want to try a repair with disk warrior as I fear that archive and install won't work and I'll end up having to erase and repair my hard disk.
I feel like some perverse god is punishing me for trying to do the right thing and back up my hard disk.
Macbook 5.1 late 2008
Intel Core 2 Duo
OSX Leopard 10.5.8
85 GB of a 150GB hard disk needs backing up (saving)

I am not sure about this, but my memory is that if you try to partition the drive (in OS 10.5.8) it will erase the data.
But you can try. Go through the Add a partition steps, but watch for any warnings. If my memory is correct there will be a message to the effect that everything will be erased. If you see that, do not proceed. This page has info about how to do it, if it can be done: http://www.macworld.com/article/1164643/live_partition.html
With respect to DW on an external, I do that. I have a 80 GB external - I call it Emergency - with an OS, DW and TechTool Pro on it. (Since I have is a recovery partition built in with all new OS, Emergency would be of use only if I need to run DW or TTP.) I have never yet had to use it, but it's there. It is not usually connected - I just did that for this screen shot.

How to embed a video from my desktop in Muse

I would like to embed a video from my desktop into Adobe Muse. Can anyone help?
Is there a certiain type of video that Muse only uses?

Check this W3Schools page as a reference for working with HTML5 <video> tags.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
Use this code:
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="video.ogg" type="video/ogg">
</video>
Just make sure that you put the video files in the same folder!
Hope this helps,

Adding music folder from hard disk to itunes causes the original music to vanish

what is causing itunes to delete original music folder from hard disk when selecting add folder to itunes

iTunes doesn't have any automatic way of re-creating your directory structure in terms of folders and playlists in iTunes. You will have to drag each music folder to a playlist and then arrange these in folders inside of iTunes (which I warn you can can slow down iTunes a lot). I guess the once chance of speeding this up will be if somebody has written an Applescript to do it, but I don't remeber seeing any anywhere.

Noise from hard disk

Hi, everyone.
I bought a new mackbook pro in this Jan. Recently, I hear some not continuously noise from hard disk, especially when i open a file in hard disk or verify the hard disk. Is something wrong with my hard disk?
Thanks

This hard disk clicking is a know problem for many laptops. If you search it on Google, you will find a lot of discussions about it in the Unbuntu Linux forums. In most cases, it is due to the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature of notebook hard drives. The default APM settings of these drives are aggressive so as to extend notebook battery life. As a consequence, the HD tries to park its actuator head to the ramp whenever it judges the system as idle. However, OS X or some third-party applications may access the hard disk quite often, resulting in a park/unpark cycle every few seconds.
Every of these cycles is counted as one load/unload cycle. Most notebook drives support up to 600,000 load/unload cycles. If a hard drive parks its head every few seconds, it may shorten its life by "using up" the cycles more quickly.
I had the same problem on my Powerbook with a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 80GB PATA drive. I heard the frequent clicking sound right after I installed it into the laptop. The SMART status appeared to be Verified, and there was no problem with the drive itself. After searching on Google and Hitachi web site, I found the causes and solved the problem using the Hitachi Feature Tool. For other HD brands, I have no experience at all.
Basically, Travelstar 5K160 drives have three idle modes, from which a user can set one as the deepest idle state:
1) Active Idle: the actuator head is parked near the center of the disk, and power usage is 45-55% less than performance level. Recovery time to active mode is about 20ms.
2) Low Power Idle: this is usually the factory default idle mode. The head is UNLOADED to the ramp and the power consumption is 60-65% less than the performance level. Recovery time is about 300ms.
3) Low RPM idle: in this idle mode, the hard disk will spin down to a lower RPM speed. More power is saved but recovery time is much longer. (I can hear the disk spin down and spin up again a few times per minute. There is also a lag in system reaction time.)
To get rid of the hard disk clicking, you need to set Active Idle as the deepest APM idle mode. To do it on a Hitachi hard disk, you need Hitachi Feature Tool, and a Windows laptop with the same HD interface as your drive (PATA or SATA). Sadly, the feature tool is only for Windows and Linux.
You can download Hitachi Feature Tool 2.10 as an ISO image here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#FeatureTool and burn it into a bootable CD. The userguide of the tool is available on the same page.
Then, take out your hard drive from your Macbook and install it into a Windows laptop. Boot the machine using the Feature Tool bootable CD. Choose "Change Advanced Power Mode" from the drop-down menu.
The default value is 128 (Low Power Idle). Just increase the value toward Performance, until you see the APM mode over the value bar becomes Active Idle (starting from 192). Click OK and Exit the feature tool. Switch off the Windows laptop and take out the hard disk. Install it into your Macbook. You will not hear the clicking sound again when system is idle. The lowest APM mode will be Active Idle and hence the drive will not park its head to the ramp during operions.
If your hard drive is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160, you can find the 5K160 specifications version 1.1 from Hitachi web site. On page 69 of the document, it explains the APM idle modes. On page 145 about the register values of the APM modes.
To set Active Idle as the deepest idle mode may adversely affect battery life. (I haven't yet tested it myself) However, there seem not to be a big difference than the Low Power Idle, according to the datasheet of 5K160. For this model, power consumption of Active Idle is 0.8W, while that of Low Power Idle is 0.6W, on average.
Hope this is helpful.

VirtualBox from hard disk, nvidia glx conflict

Howdy folks, I recently started getting into arch linux and set it up for dual booting. Being a graphics engine developer for multiple platforms I began to work on adding support for linux.
What I was trying to set up was so that I can use VirtualBox to load my arch install from hard disk, which I have gotten running, so that I can use virtual box to test if things work when developing simultaneously for windows, and boot over to arch for performance optimization type stuff.
The problem I am having however is that in VirtualBox I can not get the glx extensions to load, looking at the log file it's definitely trying to load the nvidia glx extensions. My PC has an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, so for proper support in arch I of course installed the drivers for it.
As per suggested in the wiki I removed the xorg.conf (actually just renamed it), along with a few other files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that were causing problems in virtual box (mainly the 20-nvidia.conf file). I have verified it does boot into arch with full 3D support as it did when the xorg.conf was in place. But still having the problems getting the glx extension to load when inside VirtualBox.
I would greatly appreciate any help ya'll can provide, being able to load my arch install from virtual box would make developing this graphics engine of mine so much easier. But I still want to be able to boot into arch. Having to use a VirtualBox instance booting from a virtual hard disk is a real pain since it add to the places I need to sync up source code.

I think you misunderstood ngoonee. Just trying to get open gl working from within virtual box, I know it's only serving as a layer over the graphics stuff.
The problem however is that to allow gpu acceleration when I boot into it, the nvidia driver will need to remain there. But it appears the glx in the nvidia driver will not play nice with what virtual box needs.
Idea is to use the same arch install for both virtual box and the dual boot.

Use previous "Delete from hard disk" checked state?

Is there any way for the program to use the previous "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk" checked state in the file deletion confirmation dialog? It gets tedious to check it every time I want to delete a file and if I forget to do it I will have an extra file sitting on my hard disk not in my catalog.

A quick shortcut that I use is to hit the spacebar (checks/unchecks the "delete from
hard disk" option), then hit the enter key to complete the process.

Cannot delete files from hard disk (after deleting from playlists)!

all of a sudden itunes stopped allowing me to automatically delete (with the warning) a downloaded podcast so I would have to go to the hard disk manually to delte the posdcast.
How do I get the system back to what it was where I delete a podcast and then get the warning and say ok to delete from hard disk?
TIA!

Hi Chris:
2 part response:
I founf the problem--somehow my itunes folder was moved to a different part of my hard drive--once I moved it back I can delete.
I can delete as follows: when I right click and click on delete, I first delete the file from itunes library--then I get prompted if I want to delete from my hard disk by sending file to recycle bin--There is also a prompt if I do not want to see the warning--which I have on as a safety precaution. So I bet the default could remove from playlist and send file to recycle bin in one move.

Copy a file from hard disk to a jar

Is there any way to copy a file from hard disk to a jar file?

Edited by: hajani on Dec 7, 2008 4:11 AMIf you really do mean 'jar' file an not 'zip' or 'rar' then you can use class java.util.jar.JarFile and write your own code. If you don't feel like writing a load of code then and you can guarantee that the 'jar' executable is going to be available then you could use Runtime.exec() or it's cousin ProcessBuilder. If you mean a 'zip' file then you could use class java.util.zip.ZipFile and write a load of code. If you mean a 'rar' file then you will either have to find a 'rar' class library or again use Runtime.exec().

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)
