Files work on mac - not on PC

I have a large amount (2,000+) video clips that were shot on a Sony Z1u and put into a Final Cut project. I have that project converted to Premiere Pro and am attempting to edit it on a PC. The files are saying that they are not supported in PPro. - "Codec missing or unavailable"
When I checked them on a Mac they worked just fine in PPro, QuickTime and in Final cut, and they appeared to be ProRes files. I have downloaded and installed the most recent version of QuickTime on my PC and it wont let me install the apple ProRes decoder for Windows, claiming to have a more recent version built in.
HOWEVER, I cannot see the videos when I play them in the QuickTime Player, they are completely white (but the sound DOES work). Again, these files will play just fine on a mac.
I am running Adobe Master Collection CS 5.5 with all components updated and installed, Windows 7 64x Professional v. 6.1.7601 SP 1 Build 7601. I have a EVGA GTX570, i7 Extreme processor and 8gb of RAM. I have all the dvx and xvid codec packages as well as the Windows Essential Codec Pack.
Here is one of the files if that might help reveal some special codec i dont know about or have overlooked -http://www.mediafire.com/?7irrtktrh6mi51z
How can I view these files and edit with them? What additional information can I give you about them to help?
(And in an effort to stave-off any mac vs PC debates, I have to edit on a PC. I do not have a Mac capable of eidting this project, and I am working with 2 other editors who are also using PC workstations.)
I also do not have access to the original tapes. I might be able to borrow a MacBook Pro to convert the files from there, if needed, but I have tried that once, and with no success.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for any help. This is becoming a serious issue.

They're Apple HDV, not ProRes. QuickTime Player on Windows does not have a decoding component for these files--and as a side note, you don't need to install the ProRes decoder since that has been built into QuickTime Player for some time now.
Anyway, you can get a third-party decoder for these files: Calibrated{Q} XD Decode. Note that Apple changed something in QuickTime 7.7 and the Apple HDV clips will not work with it; you'll need to roll back to no later than 7.6.9 to use the component properly. You can get that version here: Old Version of QuickTime Player 7.6.9 Download - OldApps.com.
I have a method of converting these to a format that can be natively handled in Premiere Pro, but it's not really suited for large quantities of files like yours. Calibrated XD Decode isn't exactly cheap ($130 on sale right now), but it will get you up and running with minimal effort--that's probably worth the admission price.

The LOG file \work\dev_jcontrol is not present

The LOG file \work\dev_jcontrol is not present; even thou I have restarted the server:

Any idea?

Hi,
cluster ID is just combination of below parameters:
In our case, my source system (ABC) was refreshed from another system (XYZ) recently
so while installing target system ( DEF), I changed the source system details from ABC to XYZ in below file and retried the
SAPinst screen. System copy has got completed successfully.
Open the file <installation directory>/jmt/cluster_id_switch.properties and edit the line
src.ci.sid=
src.ci.instance.number=
src.ci.instance.name=
src.ci.host=
If in your case source system is not refreshed recently; You may try with functional host name or OS host name etc. details for above parameters.
If this does not work check details of "SAP Note 966752 - Java system copy problems with the Java
Migration Toolkit" which says almost the same thing but I could not get that as the statements related to
box number are bit confusing and contradictory.
Cheers !!!

Ipod works in Mac not in PC

Device: Latest generation of Ipod Nano. FAT32 formatted for windows.
Problem: Does not work in Windows XP PC.
Analysis: Upon insertion into the PC the ipod randomly disconnects and shows the 'you may safely disconnect' screen. This usually happens about 2 seconds after insertion. It will disconnect and reconnect every 3-5 seconds...
Further: It is not a fault with the cable. It is not a fault with the USB port on the PC. WORKS IN MY MAC, not in PC.
Any suggestions?

If your PC is a desktop, connect it to a rear port on the PC, connect your keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices and disconnect from any other network you are on:
You may also have to update or reload the USB Root Driver:

Do template files work for those not editing in dreamweaver?

Hi!
Do dreamweaver .dwt template files work for people who are not making changes with dreamweaver?
Thanks!

Better make that a *NO*. Allowing people to edit Template controlled pages outside of DW will be a catastrophe, unless they are very familiar with DW Templates and how they work.

Illustrator File Worked in CS6, Not when Updated to CC

Hello,
I'm archiving a series of videos for 2012 and want to update the project files to CS7. In CS6, a logo from Illustrator worked fine:
In CC, it's all pixelated. The sequence settings are the same, it's set to view at full resolution:
Thoughts?
I'm working on Mac with Mountain Lion on Premiere 7.0.1
Thanks!

Offline message keeps appearing though file/work offline is not checked

Firefox has started to display the "working offline" message frequently, however the file/work offline menu item is not checked, nor has it been. I seldom if ever work offline.

Did you try to toggle the File > Work Offline setting a few times?
You can try this:
Create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status

"Wait Function" swf works in Mac, Not in Windows

Hi,
I have got a Flash movie [swf file] that plays the intro
part("Scene 1", 1) to ("Scene 1", 55), and then go to
("Scene 2", 1) smoothly in Mac environment. When I run the
same swf movie in windows, it plays the intro part only and then
stops. It does not go to Scene 2 at all.
I am making use of a wait function in the actions.
I changed 'frame number' ("Scene 2", 1) to 'label' ("Scene
2", "start") and tested it again, but it still does not work in
windows environment but runs smoothly in Mac.
Kindly advise what is the problem exactly.

It turns out I was wrong: this function did work. However, when I then saved the file as an SVG, Illustrator ignored the document proportions. To correct this, I had to set the export option preserveEditability = true (of all things ...). Apparently it's a feature of Illustrator CC to not include the document proportions in SVG files by default.

Working on Mac, not PC

We have created some .swf files that are being served by a
PHP script that we wrote. All works correctly on a Mac, but on a PC
(in both IE and FireFox), the link does not work. The links are not
embedded into the .swf files because they are attached by the
program.
Any idea on what is going on and how I can make it work on a
PC?
The link below illustrates the issue. This page randomly has
two .swf ads on it.
Link that shows
what I am talking about.
Thanks in advance for any help! We're new to creating .swf
files for the Web.

The links work, but you are launching popUp windows, and most
modern browsers block them. Your MAC seems to be set up
differently

C# Script to copy an Excel File working locally but not on the server when I schedule a job

So I have these couple C# commands to copy an Excel File which works fine and dandy on my local client when I test and run this SSIS Package but when I tried scheduling the job on the server, it failed.
These are the couple C# commands...
// This Opens the Source .xlsx File from Emdeon ePaySmart
Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(StringSourceFile, XlUpdateLinks.xlUpdateLinksNever, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Save the Source .xlsx Emdeon ePaySmart File as a .xls File...note xlFileFormat.xlExcel5
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
Is this because I'm using xlFileFormat.xlExcel8 and locally it is running fine but when I schedule via SQL Server Management Studio as a SQL Server Agent Job it seems to be failing??
I sure hope I don't have to change this so it will run as a SQL Server Agent Job and/or run this locally every blessed week.
Can someone clear this up for me and provide a potential solution?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

That is Excel automation, which requires Excel to be installed on the computer where the code runs, and is not supported on a server without an interactive user logged in.

Flash file works sometimes, but not others

Here is the page with what I am trying to do. It is volunteer
work for a non-profit, and I am not an uber flash programmer, but I
have come this far, and would appreciate any helps diagnosing the
possible causes for this. Please view this link to see what I am
talking about. Clicking on the thumbnails opens a separate window
with a photo gallery.
http://www.coafkids.org/dev/photovideo/
On my computer, this works fine, both on the authoring end
and the server end. On some others, reportedly, they can view some
of the gallery slideshows, but not others. The reports have been
random, so there is no consistency with which shows work and which
do not.
The flash file is the same exact file for each of the
galleries. Each gallery has its own folder on the server. In this
folder, there is a flash file(same exact file in all galleries) an
XML file specific to that gallery, and an images folder. The XML
file gives the flash file the location and respective caption for
each image that is located in the images folder. With all the flash
files named exactly the same in each folder, with exactly the same
code, how does it not work on only some machines??
Any light, anything at this point would be extremely
helpful..
Thank you in advance,
Armo

The people that report problems are only reporting them for
one, two, or sometimes just three out of the 9 galleries.
Therefore, since it is exactly the same flash file used in all 9,
why would some choose not to work. And even worse, why are the ones
that do not work varied across each person?
Thank you for your response.... hope we can all solve this
mystery together...

Why my iChat AV only work with Mac not PC

I've been use iChat to communicated with my parents for couple year. (I have a PowerMac G5 with external iSight. They have a PC and runnning AIM 5.9 version.) Everything works fine until recently I purchased a 15" MBP. I always got "User did not respond" whenever I try to connect with PC from the MBP. So, I did a test on Mac to Mac with my sister in-law. It works fine with her. What is worng with the new MBP? Now I always have to go back to my G5 when I need to talk with my parents. It really bothers me that my new computer isn't working. I am going to sell my G5 soon. I need the MBP work with them. Does anyone knows what can I do to make it work with PC and Mac both? (I have a Comcast Cable at home and I don't know anything about the modem..., small apartment with Airport Express. Both computer are pretty close to the Airport.)

HI Laggard,
As Rj says it will be useful to know your set up.
However we are likely to send you to this site at some stage
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
We use it for reference only in the first instance.
After you have found your device you can click on it in the list.
This choose iChat from the next page.
It will then show a page that will tell you the default IP and user ID and Password you will need to access it in a web browser.
When you get this far it can be a question of loking at all the pages.
You will certainly need to look at any Port Forwarding (Virtual Server/Pin Holes) pages and tell us if there is any setting.
Also look to see if you have UPnP as this is easier to set up.

Dual layer DVD works on Mac, not on DVD player

I burned a dual layer video DVD (Verbatim DVD+R DL, what else?!) of a longish video. Works fine on the iMac, but my stand-alone DVD player can't use it.
So, my question is: if a DVD Player can play commercial dual layer DVDs, why not home-made ones?
Comments and suggestions welcome!

Hi Klaus1
My first (and only) thought is
BURN SPEED - Set it down to x2 or x4 MAX
Most common origin of DVDs that only plays on this or that or even not on Mac that burned them is speed of x16 etc.

Burned a dvd, works on mac not on pc

I burned a dvd. originally a .mov file. but pc based media players are not reading it as a dvd.
I didnt do anything special to the DVD. I made it as basic as it gets. I need to burn something today that can play in anything without a problem, whether its windows media player or the appl edvd player or a real dvd player for a tv.
Thanks so much. I also have several different file conversion softwares that I can use if starting with .mov is a bad idea.

What codec are you using for your .mov? Did you just Export a QuickTime Movie from FCP, or did you change the codec used?
All video DVDs are SD resolution.
If quality if a concern, then you can do one of two things. Change the resolution in FCP by creating a new Sequence at SD resolution and nesting your original Sequence into it. You then have to scale down and render the file. Then you Export a QuickTime Movie. Bring that into DVD SP, or better yet bring that into Compressor and create a MPEG-2 of the video and a AC3 of the audio and bring those into DVD SP.
Or you Export a QuickTime Movie from FCP at HD resolution, bring that into Compressor. Using the setting Best Quality 90 minutes, create a new setting that is the same but with Frame Controls on. Also create a new setting for Dolby 2.0 with the Dialog Normalization set to -31 and the Compression Preset set to None. Bring those files into DVD SP.

Windows CFM files work correctly; but not on LINUX install

Hello -
I created a CFM web app on a Windows Developer Server Edition. Last night, we moved them to a hosted location company which is using CF8 on LINUX (full license). For the most part, alot of the functions work, but these are completely missing in the installation:
- CFWINDOW ability - does not give an error, but the CFWINDOW or windows.create functions work on Windows - same CFM and they do not work on LINUX.
- FCK Editor does not work
- Various other databind/AJAX components which I feel maybe related to the CFWINDOW issue.
Anyone with any ideas which I can share with the hosting company?
Thanks,
Chris

This may be related to the difference in installation path. Check the path differences in windows and linux by outputing those values.

Flash site works locally but not online (uploaded to server)

We have bought a flash portfolio template and have customized it with our pictures, video, etc.
When we test it locally on our computer (using different web browsers) it all works perfectly well. We have uploaded the finished website to our server and when you go to the address online, it doesn't work (a loader progress shows but it is stopped and nothing happens).
We have however uploaded the original template we bought and it works perfectly online.
The template consists of and index.html, various .swf, and various .xml that we have modified according to the template instructions (it also contains a java script folder we haven't touched).
What is it wrong with our modified template - it works locally without problem…!
Thanks for your help

When a Flash file works locally but not on-line, it's almost always a pathing issue (provided you did upload ALL files and do not have something missing... as suggested by Ned).
A "pathing issue" results when the main .swf cannot find one or more of the associated Flash files...like an xml file or images.
It can be something as simple as using switching file names to all lower case. Local machine is not case sensative... most servers are. So "My Photo.JPG" is not the same as "my_photo.jpg". When naming files, best to use all lower case, no spaces in any file or folder names... use_underscore_instead.
But the most common cause is that those associated files (xml, images, etc.) are not pathed relative to the Web page where the main .swf is embedded. Pathing to the .xml and image files should be as though the .swf was located in the same folder as the Web page... NOT the actual location of the .swf file.
And that includes paths to the xml file and paths to image files coded into those xml files. Everything need to be coded relative to the Web page.
