Files That are Downloaded as Image Files Really Are Not

Hi, I use a G4 Mac; run OS X Tiger 10.4.11. Sometimes whenever I download image files such as mpeg and wmv I get this alert when I try to run them using the Latest Version of QuickTime: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." But when I "Get Info" for these files the Get Info window states that these are either mpeg or wmv of files; along with the size, where they were download from, etc. Other movie files downloaded at the same time are played by QT without any problems. Why won't these files play as movie files?

MPEG 1 should play with Quicktime not that there is a ton of it other than VCD files popular in Asian karaoke and anime discs.
MPEG 2 will not play without paying for the Apple MPEG-2 codec component. QT Kirk points out the need for Flip4mac to playback WMV files. To edit or export those WMV files you have to pay $20 extra as well for the Studio version of F4M.

Is there function that can transform a image file into a matrix?

Hi,
Is there function in java that can transform a image file into a matrix? What kind of library should be used?
thx

It would be ****** nice if we could provide an example but we got more important things to do than stand around and wipe your bottom. Get off that fat thing and find out yourself.

Ohh thanks guys!
It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
But again, really thanks!
/Neuwerld
that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself. with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background. that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??

How did you download? Have you been using the Import panel?
How is the pop-up selector for the "Raw+Jpeg" set?
If you are importing raw+jpeg pairs, and you set this to (Use Jpeg as original), then you will see a little J on the thumbnail, otherwise a R.
Or did ou import with Jpeg only?

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area? Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
Thanks for any guidance.

As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy. I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user. Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out. The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous! If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly. And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

No luck trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files

Hi,
I am trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files from the Toshiba website, but I'm having no luck.
I am trying to deploy images using WDS on server 2008 and need the inf files for this to succeed, does anyone have the answer to this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this tip:
Someone wrote this:
+You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+
You could also try this freeware application to extract the package:

Trying to down load a file that contains .exe and .bin files on Unity(gaming builder)

Trying to down load a file that contains .exe and .bin files on Unity(gaming builder). can this be done on iMac. it is a video game? It works fine in windows computer? dont know if this limited information helps. Is there a program or something i need to buy or download? Thanks

Hello,
.exe files are Windows® executable files, so you'd need Windows Installed.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Which Version of Adobe do I need to be able to "extract" a page from a existing file and save/download to another file?

Which Version of Adobe do I need to be able to "extract" a page from a existing file and save/download to another file?

Acrobat Pro or Standard.

Can't print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file.

Can’t print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file. Get message “Windows cannot complete the transaction. The destination file could not be created.” If I save the file and extract the pdf it works. I didn't have to go through this hastle before. If I retry many times it will often work.

ZIP files can be handled in many different ways. If you have a program like WinZip or 7-Zip installed, they will handle it.
If not, Windows will handle it. The message you quote indicates that your situation is handled by Windows, which seems to have a problem with it. Could be caused by recent Windows updates.
Definitely not an Adobe Reader problem.

I created a partition on my iMac drive. I have trashed the files that were in the partition but I can not trash the icon. I tried with Disk Utility. Any ideas?

I created a partition on my iMac drive. I have trashed the files that were in the partition but I can not trash the icon. I tried with Disk Utility. Any ideas?

If I understand correctly, the partition will still be on the disk and therefore mounted on the desktop. You would need to remove that partition to remove the icon.
Be careful if you try this, don't upset the main Macintosh HD partition or you may lose the OS and your files.
And always have a full tested backup of your system before modifing disk partitions.

The Apple drivers that are downloaded for my HP printers do not allow me to modify the settings as I could when I was running a pc.

The Apple drivers that are downloaded for my HP printers do not allow me to modify the settings as I could when I was running a pc. Is there someway to get a printer driver that will permit full access to printer settings?

Perhaps you don't have the correct driver selected.
Try to Add it again, but instead of Auto-Select, choose Select Printer Software, then make sure you have the correct printer selected.
If the driver you have says "Gutenprint" then that isn't the HP driver and might not have all the features.
If you have the correct driver, the only thing you can do is contact HP and ask them to add the features.
