Video file conversion question

I have some TV shows I downloaded off the iTunes store for my kids that I want to be able to send to my TV. They are 1080p M4V files and I thought this would be a no brainer.
I have a WDTV that plays everything known to man that will not play these and an Apple TV 1st generation that will not play them due to the fact they are 1080p!
I considered converting these down to 720p for the ease of playing these on the Apple TV, but cannot find a converter that will preserve the surround sound. MPEG streamclip does stereo only, Handbrake will not reconize these files, and Quicktime will not allow me to export these either.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

These are probably protected videos; TV shows and movies on iTunes mostly are.
Since you posted in the MacBookPro forum, I'll assume you actually have a MBP. It will be far simpler just to show these movies on your TV by connecting your MBP to the TV and using iTunes to view them (you can show full screen, btw).
Trying to convert iTunes M4V protected videos is 1) against the terms of the iTunes store, 2) exceedingly difficult and 3) against the TOU of these forums for anyone to suggest how to circumvent the protection.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 <b>value2</b> value3
I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

UPGRADE 1103 to 1159 - PAYMENTS CONVERSION QUESTION!

Hello,
UPGRADE 1103 to 1159 - PAYMENTS CONVERSION QUESTION!
This is the scenario, we are planning to do. Currently we have 11.0.3 in one box. We are planning for re-implementation for 11.5.9 in the new box. So we
have to convert approx 14 months of open and closed data for the historic purposes. (Like PO's, Invoices, Payments and ledger data etc.)
Again, these conversions cannot be handled through the front end using some Data Loader kind of tool etc...
Data Loader tool, I used a lot for loading Flexfield Value Set Values, Category Codes etc...
But my question is converting these AP_PAYMENTS related data in the back end. (Like Check num, Payment Batch ID, Invoice Number, Invoice ID, Supplier Number,
Supplier ID, etc.) from old 11.0.3 box to new 11i box.
Since there was some confusion is going on with Payments related areas, because there was now API's etc... some of them are telling it is very difficult to migrate "AS IS" into 11i. I also heard that oracle won't support this.
Just want to clarify clearly on this issues.
Because we are moving from the small box of 11.0.3 into Big box for 11.5.9. So we don't want to loose all the histories for about 20 months. especially open
Closed / Open - Invoices, Payments, PO's, REQ's, Active Items which are in the Open Blanket PO's, Employees, etc...
Of all these everything sounds like doable because they do have API's etc... Of course, I belive there is no API for the Vendors only. We want to know is this true for the Payments also.
Any urgent clarifications is very much appreciated with clear explanation.
Thanks in advance

The payment conversion is little bit tricky in term on its understanding and functionality.
There are lot of dependices of payments conversion on the others objects like invoice.
You need to be very clear in requirements.
Here is the extracted documents for giving you clear understanding about payments.
Overview of Process
Prior to creating a payment batch, four setup are required.
A.Define a bank for bank branches with which you do business.
B.Define bank accounts.
C.Choose a predefined or custom payment format.
D.Finally, define payment documents for disbursements for each bank account.
To give an overview of the steps required to create payment batch payments:
1) Initiate the payment batch by entering the criteria for invoices you want to pay. The payment batch process selects invoices, and then builds the payments. It determines which invoices will be paid on each payment document, and lists this information for you on the Preliminary Payment Register.
2) Make any necessary modifications to your payment batch, such as selecting additional invoices, deselecting invoices, deselecting suppliers, etc. Once modifications are complete, the modify payment batch process automatically builds the payments if any invoices were added.
3) Format payments to produce an output file.
4) Print checks from the output file if you are not creating electronic payments or sending the output file to a third party for printing.
5) Confirm the payment batch by recording the document numbers associated with each payment. During this step, the invoice status is updated to Paid and a document number is associated with the invoice and invoice payment.
As conversion(from 11.0.3 to 11.5.9) is concern step 3,4 is excluded from the standard processes.
These are the tables involved during the payment conversion.
AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL
AP_INVOICES_ALL
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL
These are background (concurrent) processes involved in batch process consists of the following
a. Autoselect
b. Build Payments
c. Preliminary Payment Register
d. Format
e. Confirm
f. Final Payment Register.
10.7:
If you are using the application in character mode, navigate to the Reset Payment Batch form. The navigation path is
\Navigate --> Controls --> Payment --> ResetPaymentBatch.
Select the payment batch name and the system displays the status of the batch. Your options for proceeding vary according to the batch status.
11.5.8/9
You can perform actions on your batch in Payment Batches form by clicking on the Actions button. The appropriate actions are highlighted depending on the status of the batch.
THIS SECTION TALK ABOUT THE DETAIL TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Payment Conversion Technical Overview
For the conversion is concern we are following four-step process
I.Defined and prerequisite steps as discussed above
II.Selecting the Invoice
III.Building the Payment
IV.Confirm
THESE ARE THE PREREQUISITE SETUP
We are assuming the bank set is already done from 10.7 to 11i.Bank set up means bank account id, and its corresponding payment format.
For this purpose we are using mapping function for bank account id and on that basis we are getting corresponding checks stock id.This means defining a payment documents for disbursements
SELECT INVOICES
When a payment batch is started one row for each record is created in the
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL table.
This table stores the criteria that a payment batch uses to select invoices for payments. The module name for the Auto Select process is APXPBSEL. The Select Invoices, or AutoSelect, is the first step in the payment batch process.
When we run a concurrent program the AutoSelect process starts by loading records that meet the invoice selection criteria into the table AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL from the tables AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL.
The criteria that AutoSelect uses to determine which record to select from AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL is stored in AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL.
To be sure that no duplicate invoices get selected, invoices that are already selected in another payment batch are not selected. Invoice payments that have no remaining payment amounts are not selected either.
BUILD PAYMENTS
The module name for the Build Program is APXPBBLD. From the list created by AutoSelect, the Build program determines which invoices will be paid on each
Payment document, and lists this information on the Preliminary Payment Register if Selected. The Build program is spawned when AutoSelect has completed. When the Build Program starts, the application uses information from the table AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL to create rows in the table AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL.
In addition to creating rows in the AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL, the build payments program also performs the following tasks:
Assigns document numbers for payments
Assigns Check Ids
Renumbers the remaining documents starting from the first_available_document
Updates the payment batch status to BUILT
Since we are doing conversion from 10.7 to 11i where all payments need to converted hence we are keeping payment batch status as FORMATTED
CONFIRM
This is the final step for the payment batch process, where we will pick a payment batch from front end, and then making confirm. The menu for this
AP Payable =>Payment Batches form =>by clicking on the Actions button
Internally the confirm program first updates the AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL records,
then transfers those records to
AP_CHECKS_ALL.
In addition, the AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL
records are transferred into the corresponding
AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL,
AP_INVOICES_ALL and
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL.
Table Involved in Payment Batch Process
These are the various table involved in the payment process of 10.7 and 11i.It is recommended that if corresponding earlier conversion is done then use the mapping function to get the new value.
oAP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL
oAP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL
oAP_INVOICES_ALL
oAP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL
oAP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL
oAP_CHECKS_ALL
oAP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL
oAP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL
oAP_INVOICES_ALL
oAP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL `
Common Issue:
1.Determine the status of the Payment Batch?
A: Query up the Payment Batch in the Payment Batches Summary window to view the status. If you can not get into the application, you can select the status from SQL*Plus:
SELECT status FROM ap_inv_selection_criteria_all
WHERE checkrun_name = ?<payment batch name>?;
2. Dont change the last update date
We are doing the conversion for payments, hence we cant change he last_updated_date to sysdate as this will create a problem by concurrent program, in that case we need to populate the field for FUTURE_DATED_PAYMENT=N
3. dont populate the value for INVOICE_PAYMENT_TYPE
If there are some prepayments in the conversion process donor populate this field and pass NULL, otherwise this will create a duplicate invoice, which will cause a problem for concurrent batch for payment.
Hope now you will be very clear about the process.
let me me offline, if you need further.

Canon XF300 mxf file conversion

Hello. I have a new Canon MX300. The file format this unit uses is MXF. There are many MXF file conversion software products on the market such as "Pavtube or Borosoft". Basically these convert the MXF files into useable format such as Mpeg or what ever else you desire in a lossless format. Then that file can be utilize in a editing software to create a movie. My question is, instead of having to use the file conversion software can Adobe Premier Elements 12 bypass the conversion step? Does it need a plug in to work. Talking with the GREAT Canon rep today he lead me to believe it would but I wanted to ask the experts here.
Thanks!

cdnew1,
Welcome to the forum, and thanks Jeff.
PrPro can natively handle MXF files from the Canon, but I do not know of a way to Import those directly into PrE. There might be an available plug-in, but I do not know of it. Also, with the 3rd party plug-in market, PrE is pretty far down their lists, as it only costs about $100, so the users are not likely going to spend much on a plug-in.
Perhaps others will have some useful tips on handling the MXF files.
Good luck,
Hunt

Video Conversion Questions

Am having a couple of problems with video conversion for the Apple TV.
I had to reset and install OSX a few months back, now when I use FFMPEGX to convert some AVI files to H264 it is writing the audio and video as seperate files, cant understand why its suddenly doing this as worked fine before, anyone got any ideas?
Secondly, If I try to use Quicktime, Flip4mac writes that it was done with a trial version all over the video output, but I have the Pro Version of Quicktime so can't understand why it uses flip4mac at all, isnt Quicktime supposed to do this by itself, and is there a way round this, short of buying flip4mac?

when I use FFMPEGX to convert some AVI files to H264 it is writing the audio and video as seperate files
Sounds like FFMPEG is doing this. Check the source codecs and/or your default/manual settings. Some conversions may require an intermediate conversion in which the audio and video are first "demuxed" and placed in separate files which are them converted to the final compression formats and then merged to a single file.
Secondly, If I try to use Quicktime, Flip4mac writes that it was done with a trial version all over the video output, but I have the Pro Version of Quicktime so can't understand why it uses flip4mac at all, isnt Quicktime supposed to do this by itself, and is there a way round this, short of buying flip4mac?
While QT recognizes the AVI file container (i.e., AVI is not a compression format), you must have the same codecs to make the file (many combinations are possible) playable and/or convertible to a fully supported QT compression format. QT does not supply proprietary interleaved codecs and you must install your own. DivX, Flip4Mac, Perian, etc. all have codecs that play different codecs that may be contained in the AVI container. As long as there are no conflicts, then everything works fine. In some cases, however, two or more components may be able to play/convert the same codec. In this event, QT seems to call the handler which was last installed. If this is the case, then you may be able to remove/re-install codecs in a different order which satisfies your needs. In other cases, the codec in question may only be supplied one of the third-party providers and you have no choice but to use their product. Some of the providers allow you to play the codecs in question but require you to purchase conversion decoders and/or decoders separately. (E.g., DivX and Flip4Mac.) Whether or not you purchase these products depends on how badly you want to convert the file in question.

MTS File Conversion for iMovie

Dear Apple Support Community,
I am struggling with movie file conversions, and getting the optimum results from such a process before starting my editing work in iMovie.
I have a Canon HD camcorder which records movies according to AVCHD standards. Before using iMovie, I need to convert the .MTS files to a format which is compatible with iMovie, and I have tried the following:
Copy the files from the SD card on to my HDD.
Using Toast 11 (Titanum), I have selected different profiles to convert the file to formats such as MOV, M4V, MP4 etc.
The converted files yields a size that does not match the original one i.e. a 300 MB file after being converted, is now either 791 MB, or 96 MB in this case.
When importing the converted file into iMovie, iMovie still wants to optimize the file for some reason (I believe using APPLE INTERMEDIATE CODEC resolves the optimization issue)
Import the files directly from the SD card into iMovie, provided I have not altered the original file structure i.e. when inserting the SD card, iMovie recognizes the SD card the same way it would for connecting the Camera.When I select the videos to be imported, iMovie does so without hassles, but the files again turn out to be bigger than the original file by a factor of between 2 and 3, depending on the original file.
What is the best way to convert files to preserve the quality as close as possible to the original?
Is it normal for coverted files to be larger than the original file after being converted (smaller makes sense, but bigger just baffles me)
Thanks for any feedback!

Thanks for the great feedback.
I do have struggles though in general, part of which originates from my camera itself.
My camera still has a tendency to record an interlaced effect even though my settings are confidently selected to progressive (I have 50i and 25p to choose from - 25p is my selection).
However, when I use Toast Titanium, I have an option to select the source video to be deinterlaced, but Toast does not do a good job at deinterlacing, compared to Handbrake. The benefit of my Toast Preset is that I can covert the video to an Apple Intermediate Codec, which means that when the files are imported into iMovie, the process is rather quick.
When I convert using Handbrake, the software does a pretty **** good job at deinterlaing, but the downside is that I cannot find a preset that makes import into iMovie satisfactory.
So, in light of all this long discussion I gave, my question is really, what is the best file converter for iMovie to convert MTS files that need to be deinterlaced.
Thanks for any help!
Adios

Sender File adapter File Conversion with key fields

Please help me guys, I already spent way too much time on this!
I checked a couple of BLOGs and I think I'm doing the right thing except I'm not getting the result I would expect.
I'm trying to create an IDoc using the from a flat file.
I get the following error:
During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
The Source file is this:
H
L0015
The file adapter does create the XML below (looks fine):
<ns:MT_SINGLE xmlns:ns="http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE">
<HEADER>
     <ID>H</ID>
</HEADER>
<LINE>
     <ID>L</ID>
     <SITE>0015</SITE>
</LINE>
</ns:MT_SINGLE>
When I test the map in IR, with the XML that this file adapter created (above) it works fine!
Also if I take away the HEADER from the source structure everything works fine and I can create the IDoc, therefore I think something must be wrong in the file conversion, the mapping is so simple there is nothing to fail there.
The file conversion parameters that I have:
Document Name: MT_SINGLE
Document Namespace: http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE
Document Offset:
Recordset Name:
Recordset Namespace:
Recordset Structure: HEADER,1,LINE,*
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Recordset per Message:
Key Field name: ID
Key Field Type: String (Case-Sensitive)
LINE.fieldNames: ID,SITE
LINE.fieldFixedLengths: 1,4
LINE.keyFieldValue: L
HEADER.fieldNames: ID
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths: 1
HEADER.keyFieldValue: H
What am I doing wrong???
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Viktor Varga

Hi Viktor,
Basic rules:
1. Down load XML payload(output From Adapter) and test it in IR mapping program. If it is working there is no reason why it will fail in Runtime. Also Check Cache is up to date.
Generally the problem lies with namespace.
Hope this helps

File conversion and append file in receiver file adapter

Hi
I have a batch IDoc -> XI(3.0) -> file scenario with file conversion to create a flat CSV-like file. The problem is that because of the amount of data sent from R/3 (~20000 employees), the idoc is split into several idocs. In my receiver file adapter I want to append all the idocs contained in this data transfer to one flat file, before transmitting to FTP server.
For the next batch transfer (the next day) XI should start all over and create a new file and append all idocs contained in that transfer before transmitting the flat file to FTP server.
Can this be done using the 'Use Temporary File' and 'Append' options in the FTP connection Parameters in the comm-channel?
It is not an option to append the file in the FTP-server, because the files in the destination folder are moved immediately after arrival, so the file will be moved before file adapter can append all the files.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how to solve this?

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth

XML file conversion after sender file content conversion

Hi,
I have issue refarding file content conversion.
My input structure is
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH>
<RECL>
<RCIC>
<TRNH>
Afetr sender File content conversion (csv to xml) it produces xml file as below (since file conversion does not support 3rd level of hierarchy)
<TRNH>
<RECH>
</RECH>
<RECL>
</RECL>
</TRNH>
It does not recognize RCIC.
Now i am trying to map this to IDOC and getting error as
'MT_RCICRecords tag found instead of IDOC BEGIN ='.
CAn anyone suggest me how to chaage this xml output after File content conversion to add RCIC tag in xml file?
I am new to XI so please give me some sample code to.
Thanks.
Yashpal
Its urgent!

My problem is xml generated from content conversion is like below

Receiver CC File - Complex Flat File Conversion

Dear forum users,
I want your opinion about the feasibility of the content conversion described below using Receiver CC.
The structure of my file is the following
- A File header segment (FH)
- 1...N Business Object that is described by many segments
- A file footer segment (FF)
Exemple of business Object : Purchase Order :
1 Header Segment (POH)
N Item Segments (POI)
Exemple of file :
FH
POH (PO 1)
POI (PO 1)
POI (PO 1)
POH (PO 2)
POI (PO 2)
POI (PO 2)
FF
Is content conversion standard tool can deal with such a structure ?
Note that in the file created, the order of each segment has a big importance :
PO Items of PO 1 must be after PO Header of PO 1 but before PO Header of PO 2 !
I thnik the structure requested by converter described in documentation do not fit with my case :
<root>...
<nameA>
        <value1>value</value1>
        <value2>value</value2>
        <value3>value</value3>
</nameA>
<nameB>
        <value4>value</value4>
</nameB>
</root>
I should have :
<root>
<FH>
<PO>
    <POH>...</POH>
    <POI>...</POI>
    <POI>...</POI>
</PO>
<PO>
    <POH>...</POH>
    <POI>...</POI>
    <POI>...</POI>
</PO>
</FH>
</root>
Thanks very much for your help and opinions
Jean-Charles.
Edited by: Jean-Charles CARRET on Jan 3, 2011 6:12 PM

Thank you Stephan for your answer.
Firstly, could you confirm whether the "row" elements under the root tag are on the same level than other elements (POH, POI, FF and FH) or not ?
I just check the both following parts of the help documentation called :
- [Inserting MessageTransformBean in the Module Processor|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/57/0b2c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
- Using the dispatcher : Example
For me, it is not clear.
1. Do I need to create an external class (XSLT Library for example) to manipulate my XML data before passing it to the standard Flat File Conversion tool ? (Here the manipulation would be to remove the row XML elements)
2. Where is located the famous "Data" directory in which I must put my xsl file ?
Thanks for clarifications.
