File rendered in AE (is huge)

Newbie here.
So I animated a still photo in AE CS4, the animated image is 4 seconds, and the file is over 2GB and the playback with Quicktime is horrid, my whole computer starts to freak out as well. (I'm on a MBP 4 GB RAM) What do I need to do in order for the file not to be so huge and actually usable?
Thanks!

Mylenium is, as usual, correct.
I will try to answer your question without knowing the specifics.
The file you rendered is a lossless file. Meaning 0 compression. Ideal for sending files out of AE. That is what you should do. My friend Dave LaRonde at CreativeCOW.net explains why:
"Don't use AE to compress files for final delivery. The various compressors are there only to make quick 'n dirty files showing a project's progress to producers, clients, the kids, etc. AE is incapable of doing multipass encoding, a crucial feature that greatly improves the image quality of H.264 and MPEG-type files in particular.
Render a high-quality file from AE, and use a different application to do the compression. Popular ones are Adobe Media Encoder, Sorenson Squeeze and Apple's Compressor, which comes bundled with Final Cut Suite. Even compressing in Quicktime Pro is better than compressing in AE.
Making good-looking compressed files is almost as much an art as it is a science."
The data rate in a lossless file, such as the one you created is too high for your computer to handle. Nothing wrong with your RAM or your processor; it's the hard drive that can't keep up. It just cannot throw that much data out into your system at once. The only way to play back a lossless file like that is to have a fast RAID setup.
Now, as to how you "should" output your file, that really depends on how you're planning to show it. Most professionals render out an uncompressed file and use another compressor like Dave mentioned to do the final compression. Since you're only doing a 4 second animation, I'm guessing it's part of a larger project. Just import that file into your editing program and everything should be fine.
Ah, you responded while I was writing my response...but no matter; everything I said still stands.

Photoshop (PSD) files renders as gray noise

When importing Photoshop files (PSD), about 50% turns up showing mostly gray noise. The same files renders perfectly in Photoshop and Bridge (CS2). All files have been batch converted from RAW using Bridge(Photoshop. Here is a sample (also a JPEG version exported from Lightroom):
http://www.jjohanson.com/II7A0241-1.jpg (170KB)
http://www.jjohanson.com/II7A0241.psd (41MB)
When importing the files looks OK in the Import preview. The files are very plain: Adobe RGB 1998, 16-bit, no layers, no alpha channels etc. There are no error messages. I have checked this on two different installations of Lightroom (one on Windows XP and on another machine running Windows Vista).
I have noticed that it is possible to manipulate the files so that they render as normal in Lightroom. This will do the trick:
1) Save with "Maximize Compatibility" set to "Ask" (when saving no
question is asked however since the original does not have any layers
etc. I do however notice that the files get slightly bigger (about
320KB)).
2) Convert to 8-bit and then save.
3) Save as a TIFF file.
This does not help:
1) Make a plain copy
2) Do some adjustments (like levels etc.)
3) Resampling
What is going on here?

Thanks both Andreas and Bob. By the way Bob, have you tried importing the example file that I referred to? As stated earlier this problem does not show up with every PSD file (in my testing I can see that about 50% of my (flat) files shows up as gray (all the files are perfectly OK in Photoshop (CS2) and in Bridge however).
The example file can be found here:

QuickTime Files rendered from After Effects won't open

I currently have QuickTime version 7.6. Files that I download from elsewhere or that I view in the FireFox plugin online play just fine. However, files rendered from After Effects CS3 (I prefer MPEG-4 codec, but I just tried and Sorenson 3 won't do it either) will not play in FireFox's plugin and they won't open QuickTime when I double-click them in Explorer. They will only open in the QT player if I already have the player open. Otherwise, I have to open them in VLC. I much prefer the QT player and I don't want to have to open it first to view my files. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? This has only started in the past month or so.
Other people can view the files just fine, it's just my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now and have updated my video drivers, to no avail. I've also installed Avast! Antivirus and run a boot-time virus scan, but no lick there either.
Error signature from Windows:
EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.60.92.0
P3 : 496279cc P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.60.92.0 P6 : 496279cc
P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000

I wouldn't have a clue from here on, it could be anything. The key would be, if you could recall what changes were made to the computer during the time the problem surfaced. I'm not familiar with After Effects C3S but I'd disable it from loading at start-up if it does, and try QT again, but that's just a pure guess, based on the EventType error numbers, that are somewhat familiar with memory load

Large mov files rendered

My camera produced a 14-second video 1280 x 720 pixels into a 48 MB mov file. Opening that in Photoshop CS6, making no changes, and rendering that in Quicktime with the JPEG 2000 high quality preset, Photoshop produced a 346 MB mov file. Reducing the original video size to 600 x 338 pixels and rendering in Quicktime with the JPEG 2000 medium quality preset, I still got a 67 MB mov file.
Since my goal is to put these online, these large files present a problem. What is causing Photoshop to render such huge files many times the size of the original?

When you choose JPEG 2000 as a video format, every frame is saved as a complete individual still frame. There is no way you will get a small file size that way. (Other video formats save space by saving one frame, then record only the changes in the next several frames before saving another complete frame.) The complete individual frames preserve the most quality if you're going to use the rendered video as part of another production. The other two QuickTime choices, Animation and Uncompressed, also produce large files for the same reason. They're also intended for production, not final output. If you're going to take this video and edit it together with other clips, then JPEG 2000 makes sense but you have to live with the large file size.
If you are rendering this out as a final video and your next step is to upload it online, QuickTime/JPEG 2000 is not the format you want. Change the Format from QuickTime to H.264, which is the far more compact and online-friendly format required by YouTube, Vimeo, etc. for uploading to their sites.

Anyone here using FCE to edit Flip Mino HD .avi converted files- Rendering

This question may have been answered in bits and pieces in other posts but I'm hoping some smart person here can give me the settings I need to avoid rendering .avi HD-to-quicktime clips in Final Cut Express 2.0.1.
I'm shooting HD video with a Flip Mino HD camera which produces .avi files. I am aware FCE doesn't work with .avi files. The native codec of these .avi video files is H.264 ACC with a frame size of 1280 x 720. The quality is excellent but I am aware that H.264 is not an editing codec.
I'm using Mpeg Streamclip to convert those .avi video files into Quicktime files. With the MPEG Streamclip program there are MANY choices for compression including Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC, Apple Intermediate Codec and even the H.264 codec native to the Flip Mino HD. I've tried all of them with 24 frames and also 29.97 frames per second.
And there are several frame size choices as well including the native 1280 x 720. But to avoid distortion I'm keeping with 1280 x 720 unscaled.
The problem is, no matter what settings I seem to chose, when I import those converted clips into Final Cut Express, they need to be rendered before they can be played back or edited. I'm not talking about transitions like dissolves or titles, just straight clips. This problem does not happen in iMovie only FCE. But I hate editing in iMovie.
I have tried to match the setting in the sequence as best I can in FCE, including RT unlimited in playback.
Nothing has worked. Each time I import a converted clip into FCE v.2.0.1 I am forced to render the video.
I've read the MPEG Streamclip tutorial and I've seen the demos on Youtube but nothing is working. These MPEG options and conversions may work with Final Cut Pro but they are not working for me with Final Cut Express 2.0.1 on an intel iMac running 10.4.11.
My goal is to maintain the format frame size and quality, that I get from the Flip Mino HD, all the way into the final export from FCE 2.0.1.
Is there anything you can suggest? Am I missing some small setting? Do I need another third party program or do I need to upgrade to the latest FCE?
Thanks

Dear Tom,
With your help I made it work.
I bought Final Cut Express 4 and installed it in my 13 inch Macbook Pro.
I imported the H.264 HD Mpeg 4 clips, shot with my Flip Mino HD camera, into my MBpro.
I used MPEG Streamclip to convert these Flip video files into Quicktime files using the following settings:
Apple Intermediate Codec at 100% quality, 48 kHz, frame rate 29.97. Lower Field, Interlaced Scaling checked. 1280x720 HDTV 720p.
I then opened FCE4 with a sequence setting of DV NTSC 48kHz Anamorphic.
I imported the MPEG converted to QT Clips into FCE4
FCE4 gave me a warning that my clips did not perfectly match my sequence setting and asked me if I wanted to correct that. I said "yes". (I'm assuming it corrected the sequence settings and not the clips)
I was then able to drag those clips into the timeline WITHOUT having to render first!!!!
I was able to edit those clips, add dissolves, fade outs, page wipes and a text title etc.
I then exported the timeline sequence as a QT movie and the final outcome was very good. Keeping the original HD wide screen 16:9 format from the Flip camera.
I then imported that exported QT video from FCE4 into iMovie 8. Using iMovie 8 I easily uploaded that video on to the share function for Youtube. The final edited on Youtube held the HD quality of 720p and format 16:9 that I originally got from the Flip Mino HD camera.
It was a lot of steps and a lot of trial and error but the results were what I wanted.
Thanks for your help.

PDF Reduce File Size makes certain pdfs HUGE

Generally reduce file size works great for me but certain files, those coming from someone using Microsoft Publisher in particular, result in larger pdfs. She sends me newsletters for a website and sometimes the 3 page pdfs are 2-4mb. I tried opening in Preview and re-saving them using the Reduce File Size filter and the result is that they ballon up to 50-100mb!! Info for the file reveals that the pdf producer is GPL Ghostscript 8.15 and the content creator is PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2. I seem to be able to open and reduce file size using Acrobat so I'm not quite sure why Preview is choking on them.

Hi geekinthegarden- This does not surprise me. There are many variations and reiterations in specifications of the PDF format.
Going from Ghostscript language interpreter, to Apple in rendering could introduce complications which we will not be able to sort out in this forum encapsulating a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D documents that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents.
Suffice to say it is not a perfect science.
Print PDF has a compress PDF file option as well as ColorSynch in your /Utilities folder +reduce file size+ option for PDF's. This may or may not be of use.
You found your workaround using Acrobat, this is part of the value of having more than one PDF viewer, good computing!

Files with .png images create huge .pdf's

I use .png images in PowerPoint presentations and these seem to create huge .pdf files. (...don't have this problem using .jpg images) For example, I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide master" so it will show up on every page. The PowerPoint file is 2.3MB, however the .pdf of it is 33.3MB, making it WAY too big to email, which was my objective.
Any ideas on how to reduce the size of .pdf's which contain .png images?
...note that I "compressed" the .png images inside of PowerPoint prior to creating the .pdf, but this made no impact.
Thanks,
pm

>I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
>master" so it will show up on every page.
PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
larger file size.
Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
image).
What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

Preview file rendering halfs the resolution

Hi,
I have a problem with Premiere Pro preview files: their horizontal resolution is only half of the set resolution. This is seen in the Program window both when playing back and stopped (playback resolution and paused resolution are both Full). If the clip hasn't been rendered for preview, the resolution is full. Just when rendering the preview, the horizontal resolution gets half. I'm using Apple ProRes as te preview codec (I do not want to use MPEG for its bad quality). Why is this happening? I need to have the full resolution for playback with ProRes codec, but how can I get the full resolution? Please, help!
My Sequence Settings are (for instance):
Settings
Editing Mode: Custom
Timebase: 25.00 frames/second
Video
Frame Size: 1920 x 1080 16:9
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
Display Format: 25fps Timecode
Audio
Sample Rate 48000 Hz
Display Format: Audio Samples
Video Previews
Preview File Format: QuickTime (Desktop) / (GammaCorrection: Automatic)
Codec: Apple ProRes 422
Width: 1920
Height: 1080
Maximum Bit Depth (not checked) Maximum Render Quality (not checked)

It looks to me like an "aliasing" problem. I am suggesting you search ( google, speak to other users using the same workflow you are, etc. ) about " aliasing " problems with your display of rendered pro res 422 files. If you focus on 'aliasing' issue, instead of calling it half resolution and so on, it probably will address your problem faster because people with that problem will know what you mean.
I posted this earlier and gives a hint what I am referring to.
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1007725
I am wondering if in the render of the source ( pro res 422 render ) you are losing that color information indicated by the " 2 ". As you dont experience problem using animation and pro res 444, that is my guess.. that you are losing the color info...hence the problem of aliasing.
What blows my mind though , is that you don't see the aliasing when you go to AE with the same rendered file. That is just downright weird.
I don't know if you want to actually solve the problem ( find out why this is happening really )... or if you are just fixated on blaming the software for something you want to work differently. I think solving the problem may involve doing some more steps on your part. For example, have you taken the rendered file ( or ftp to someone etc ) to another computer like yours... to see if they also see the same thing ?
If they don't see the same thing, if it is OK on their computer, then maybe it's your graphic card or graphic card 'settings' causing the problem.
Have you spoken to anyone at an apple store about this ? They may have heard of this problem from other users... and if you have a store nearby, you can take the rendered file there and see if it looks OK on their computer.
I do wish you luck finding out whats going on, and am personally interested in what you find out ( which is why I keep looking at this thread ). I know lots of people who use pro res and also use it on motion picture 'sets' while shooting... at the DIT station or at video playback, to look at basic playbacks ( usually with some basic color correction etc , like rec709 or whatever )...So what you want to do is actually being done, but I just moved to MN from nyc and dont work in movie biz anymore and dont want to get involved with hooking you up via ftp to some local 600 people.
First step I think is for you to keep an open mind and start dealing with the aliasing issue and try to see if others see the same thing on similar machine as yours.
Or else think of some other way to solve the problem... cause nobody else I know has ever seen this or I would have heard of it I think.
Also, this is a users forum, not adobe technical support... have you called them ? So please be patient with users here trying to help you, as we are just people who try to help when we can and don't work for adobe.
Thanks and good luck, and please let us know what you find out cause this problem is very weird.

Raw file rendering problems with Canon EOS 5D in Aperture 3

Since upgrading to Aperture 3, I have had serious problems with the rendering of Canon EOS 5D (not Mark II/III) RAW files. With Aperture 2, both the preview and full-sized images looked basically the same as the original images as displayed on the camera's display, without any adjustments.
With Aperture 3, each preview images initially look fine after import, but when Aperture re-renders it from the RAW file (e.g. when displaying the full-size image), the colors are drastically intensified, and the hue is shifted generally towards green/blue. I've checked the RAW Fine Tuning, and it is set to the defaults. If I turn the default RAW Fine Tuning settings all the way down, the image is still not at all like the preview from the camera - it becomes much darker and stays too blue/green, with washed-out colors.
A friend with a Canon EOS 5D MkII also recently upgraded her Mac from Aperture 2 to 3, and hasn't experienced any problems. We've tried importing RAW files from my (non-MkII) camera to her Mac (with the default RAW Fine Tuning settings), and get the same results as with my own Mac (i.e. strange colors), so the problem seems to be related to the camera model.
I've also noticed that scanned greyscale tiff images (including images that were originally imported under Aperture 2) are changed when first displayed by Aperture 3 - they become darker and more contrasty, with lots of information lost in the shadow areas.
I've also tried removing Aperture preferences, Aperture itself, and re-installing from download, with no change in the problem. (Aperture is the current latest version, 3.3.2.)
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I'm having the same problem.
iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and Aperture 3.3.2. Workflow is importing through Canon's DPP and then using referenced images in Aperture. The images look great in LR4, or Canon's DPP but are flat and dingy in Aperture.
There's a free preset that goes part way to fixing it at http://theapertureblog.com/2011/02/10/my-aperture-workflow-for-working-with-cano n-5d-mark-ii-files/
but as good as this fix is, it doesn't quite do the trick. [not being a hater, and not saying I can do better]
I just got back from shoooting 1,500 images with a 5DMii and a T2i using Canon 24-105L IS, 70-200 2.8L, 50 1.8 and a Sigma 120-400 and the T2i images are not just better, they're in a different league.
I've tried shooting in Faithful, Neutral and also toggling these presets in different ways and still can't get Aperture to match what I see on the camera's screen or in other Apps. I love the interface and DB of Aperture, but what's the point of using it if it doesn't produce and awesome image in the end?

Corruption of RAW files / rendering preview

I have recently imported many RAW files that I took at an event. The problem is that whilst many of the photos look great, approx a third initially look good but then a 'rendering preview' message comes up - once the message has disappeared the photo's change and end up looking awful!!!
Without meaning to sound ungrateful, before anyone gives the standard role-out answer, I am very aware that RAW files do not contain camera settings etc etc and that the image that comes up instantly is a jpeg until it has finished rendering etc etc. The point being that all photos were taken on the same camera, in the same situation, on the same card and dowloaded at the same time.
Why are only some of the shots coming up with the 'rendering preview' message? The majority render instantly and look great!!
Why do they look so bad. The best way I can describe the way they look is:
very little dynamic range
high contrast
too much gamma
blown highlights
very poor quality
cold
Thanks in advance

Hi Guy,
Having the same problem and discussion here:
http://www.dppro.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=14&thread_id=144&pid=841#post_841
I've checked my "edit/Preferences" and on the Pre-sets Tab my auto tone box is not checked. I don't think it's that but it's at least a helpful suggestion.
You ask" Why are only some of the shots coming up with the 'rendering preview' message? The majority render instantly and look great!! "
it will be the amount of cache/virtual memory you have set aside for Lightroom. The previews will be generated up to the cache limit and then only on demand. Click on one of the unaffected previews and I'll wager that goes south too :o(
I think it's a bug. Your comment about expecting people to say RAW files don't have camera settings. I think that's off the mark. My understanding was that RAW files didn't compress any in camera tweaks irreversibly. It makes no sense for new DSLR's to have all these fancy features if the optimum file format chooses to ignore them. Why bother to put them on Pro spec cameras if they can only be used on Jpeg files? i could be wrong but I'm there's just no point in having all the settings in camera if any serious enthusiast/Pro looking to get the best from their investment has to put hours in on the PC because the premium file option ignores their in camera effort. I though RAW was about options and being able to change your mind. Like I say i could be wrong but I think it's a bug.
I had to upgrade to v 1.3 so I could get the software to read my D300's RAW files. I'm sure an earlier version of lightroom used to pull this stunt too but I'm sure my Fuji S3 files were not...abused... in this way by v1.2.
I'll watch this thread with interest. I hope it works out favourably.

DNG files rendered with wrong color profile?

Does someone else also have a problem with DNG (digital negative) files showing incorrect colors when opened in Apple software (Preview, iPhoto, Aperture..)?
I have a Nikon D750 and currently consider using DNG as archive format for my RAW files.
But the converted DNG files are shown with a wrong color profile when opened via Apple's own camera raw framework...
It works in Adobe software - such as Lightroom - but any software using the OS X internal camera raw framework seems to use the wrong color profile when opening the DNG. Note that the original D750 NEF files are opened and rendered correctly.
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with the latest Camera Raw Compatibility Update 6.02 installed.
On the Adobe side, it is Lightroom 5.7 and DNG Converter 8.7.1.
I tried all kinds of different conversion settings. It does not seem to make a difference whether I embed preview images in the DNG or not, whether I shoot in 12 or 14bit RAW, and whether I include the original RAW file into the DNG or not. I also tried to explicitly select the 'Camera Standard' color profile in Lightroom first and then export the DNG, but still on the OS X side the resulting image looks wrong as compared to the original NEF.
Any other Nikon user here who could verify my problems?

A few simple tests on your end may help you better understand:
1. Capture the same image (same camera settings in RAW and JPEG)
2. Open these images in Canon DPP - they will be a close match, this is because Canon DPP and the Canon camera itself use similar RAW processing algorithms
3. Open convert the CR2 to DNG, and open the CR2, DNG, and JPEG in Adobe Camera RAW - the CR2 and DNG should be a very close (if not identical) match if you use the same processing settings for each, since they are both being processed by ACR's algorithms; the JPEG will probably not match as it was processed with Canon's algorithms
What you are seeing is at the HEART of raw processing, and has nothing to do with color spaces or with DNG being at fault. The very nature of RAW processing means every processor (DPP, ACR, CaptureOne, etc) will produce different results by default - that's not to say that with some adjustments you can't match one processor's results to another, but it won't be the case by default.
The choice of RAW processor has FAR more an impact on your results than color space - in fact color space should have virtually no visual impact, though depending on the scene photographed you might have better gradations in some color spaces, better handling of highly saturated colors in some, but the overall look should remain close regardless of color space choice.
Further, as has been pointed out by others, raw files (which includes CR2 and DNG) do not have a color space - raw files are by definition raw image data which has yet to be processed into a color space. When you see color space assignments in RAW processors, that is relevant to the files you create FROM the raw files, not relevant to the raws themselves.
Before bringing inflammatory language and false assumptions to a forum with a high level of expert membership you might want to research the issue, and devise some simple tests (like above) to help you understand the issue first.

FCP has Motion file rendering problems

I am using FCP Studio 2 on a Dual-core 2.66GHz Intel Xeon Mac Pro.
I am importing Motion projects into my FCP timeline and have been getting problems.
When I first imported motion projects into my 720p24fps timeline they rendered clean. Now occassionally they either need to be re-rendered, not all of them, or they render and then when played FCP gives me the Unrendered screen when it is rendered in the timeline.
This is the most current problem. I have chosen within my FCP timeline to send a video file to motion to process the green screen. After processing the GS in Motion I save the project and return to FCP. In FCP I rendered the video files, including the motion file, in my timeline and some of them worked great. My recent render however has produced hits in my motion graphics background layer while retaining clarity in my Motion GS video.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I might be experiencing?
I have screen shots.
Thanks,
-Tim
Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Okay, so here is what I did to fix the hits that are occuring in my Motion files within my FCP timeline.
I had to cut out the underlying Motion project background from behind my green screen Motion treated foreground. Then I reapplied the Motion project background layer and re-rendered. Now, it's working.
So Motion and FCP dev teams, is this common or is it something I'm doing wrong? If you have time of course.
Thanks,

.mov files rendering

I'm trying to edit some quicktime files (.mov) in FCP 5. I have to keep rendering the entire thing whenever a change is made. Are some of the settings incorrect? I'm sure I shouldn't have to render a clip that has no effects.

I've been editing on Final Cut Pro for a few years. But all the technical stuff was pretty much done for me by someone else. Now I have to learn it all on my own, so lets pretend that I don't know anything.
I pretty much worked out that the mov file has to have the same settings as the sequence. But can I change the sequences settings? If not, is there any way I can change an existing quicktime files settings?

File size of imovie hd - HUGE; why?

I loaded in about 40 minutes of HD video captured on the cannon hv20 and then cut most of it out, so I now have a movie of about 4 minutes. I have emptied the recycle bin (both in imovie and the general computer), but the imovie file is still about 35 gb. That seems extremely high for 4-5 minutes of hd quality video. It almost seems as if it didn't completely delete the extra footage. I can't imagine the size is correct, otherwise I won't be able to store more than 1-2 movies on my computer at a time. Can anyone help? I'd prefer to not delete this file, even after exporting it to quicktime so that I have the original archived.
Thanks!!!!

Hi r
The editor iM08 is a non-destructive editor. => All material captured that has just a frame in use
is stored as is. That's the way it works.
How to cope ?
• Try to import more selectively
• In iMovie 1 to 6 one could export back to Camera - this concentrated to the final movie
then deleting the original project and import from the new tape - saved lot's of space but
also prohibitated "Restore".
• In iM08 one can export as QT.mov full quality - and may be use this (NOT sure if full quality
really is preserved)
• Or store the movie projects on an external FireWire - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk. I do.

File rendering in browser

Hello,
We need the ability to display message attachments in the browser. Some files display in IE fine (PDF, TXT, DOC, GIF, JPG) but others don't (PPT, XLS, RTF) -- instead a download dialog box is displayed.
Anyone know how to get PowerPoint, Excel, & Rich-Text Format files to display in the browser?
Thanks,
Rich

Okay, so since everyone's browser settings/plug-ins probably vary...is there a way to either interrogate the browser to see what it can handle or provide assistance to users who want to display files in their browser?
Thanks.
