Flatten mpeg qt reference

Hi
Does anyone know if the MPEG component for QT will allow me to flatten, save as a self contained movie, a quicktime reference movie when the references are an m2v and wav file respectively?
thanks.

Thanks for that. Do you know if there is any way to flatten QT reference files where the reference points to an mpeg2 essence?
Thanks.

Batch Export Crash

Each night we are rendering 7-10 hours of NTSC 10-bit uncompressed SD into MPEG-4 reference files. We are using Batch Export, MPEG-4
About one night out of four, the Mac crashes. This is apparently at the end of the first render. The file exists but zero kb. The Mac has the greyed screen saying it needs to be shut down.
We are capturing to RAID 0 2TB WD MyBook. Rendering to same
So far tried:
Rendering to a different drive to source
Repairing permissions
Restarting Mac before starting batch job
Varying the MPEG-4 settings
We tried using compressor and the crash rate increased.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

"reference" files. Do you mean your files are not selfcontained? A reference file includes any material that has to be rendered, and since your converting 10 bit uncompressed to mpeg4,
Everything has to be rendered.

To Decode and play MPEG-2 Video files with JMF

Hi ALL,
I amin serious trouble with a problem. I am developing a Simulator, a function of which is to decode MPEG-2 Video files in real time and play it as well.I have got a MPEG-2 Decoder implemented in C from an open source and need to integrate with my Simulator which is writtebn in Java. The integration part I am doing via JNI(Java Native Interface). Now I have a bunch of C files in MPEG-2 decoder which are to be compiled during the Execution of the Java Simulator.Can anybody give some idea about how to call multiple C files from the Java Source through JNI at one go? Another problem I am facing is in calling a single C code from the traditional "HelloWorld" Java Code itself. The problem comes when I am trying to compile the shared library between the C native code and Java Code in my Linux Machine...I am getting the following message:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0 : In function '_start' :
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0(.text+0x18): undefined reference to 'main'

How to reference a parent element in Excel Templates

I am using an excel template and I have nested groupings of xml that I wish to flatten, for example:
<G_DEPT>
<DEPARTMENT_ID>10</DEPARTMENT_ID>
<DEPARTMENT_NAME>Administration</DEPARTMENT_NAME>
<LIST_G_EMP>
<G_EMP>
<EMPLOYEE_ID>200</EMPLOYEE_ID>
<EMP_NAME>Jennifer Whalen</EMP_NAME>
<EMAIL>JWHALEN</EMAIL>
<PHONE_NUMBER>515.123.4444</PHONE_NUMBER>
<HIRE_DATE>1987-09-17T00:00:00.000-06:00</HIRE_DATE>
<SALARY>4400</SALARY>
<HTML_TEXT><B>This is some bold text</B></HTML_TEXT>
</G_EMP>
</LIST_G_EMP>
<TOTAL_EMPS>1</TOTAL_EMPS>
<TOTAL_SALARY>4400</TOTAL_SALARY>
<AVG_SALARY>4400</AVG_SALARY>
<MAX_SALARY>4400</MAX_SALARY>
<MIN_SALARY>4400</MIN_SALARY>
</G_DEPT>
from the </G_EMP> group, how do I reference elements in the parent group G_DEPT for example? Normally in the rtf templates I would use the xpath <?../../DEPARTMENT_NAME?>
however in the excel templates, the "define names" does not allow me to use XDO_?../../DEPARTMETN_NAME?
Any help would be much appreciated.

You must have done a group on G_DEPT like below:
XDO_GROUP_?G_DEPT?Refer the dept_name like below in meta data
XDO_?G_DEPT? <?.//DEPARTMENT_NAME?>Cheers,

Problems updating projects to new versions of Premiere (CS5 to CC and CC to CC 2014) Memory consumption during re-index and Offline MPEG Clips in CC 2014

I have 24GB of RAM in my 64 bit Windows 7 system running on RAID 5 with an i7 CPU.
A while ago I updated from Premiere CS5 to CC and then from Premiere CC to CC 2014. I updated all my then current projects to the new version as well.
Most of the projects contained 1080i 25fps (1080x1440 anamorphic) MPEG clips originally imported (captured from HDV tape) from a Sony HDV camera using Premiere CS5 or CC.
Memory consumption during re-indexing.
When updating projects I experienced frequent crashes going from CS5 to CC and later going from CC to CC 2014. Updating projects caused all clips in the project to be re-indexed. The crashes were due to the re-indexing process causing excessive RAM consumption and I had to re-open each project several times before the re-index would eventually complete successfully. This is despite using the setting to limit the RAM consumed by Premiere to much less than the 24GB RAM in my system.
I checked that clips played; there were no errors generated; no clips showed as Offline.
Some Clips now Offline:Importer CC 2014
Now, after some months editing one project I found some of the MPEG clips have been flagged as "Offline: Importer" and will not relink. The error reported is "An error occurred decompressing video or audio".
The same clips play perfectly well in, for example, Windows Media Player.
I still have the earlier Premiere CC and the project file and the clips that CC 2014 importer rejects are still OK in the Premiere CC version of the project.
It seems that the importer in CC 2014 has a bug that causes it to reject MPEG clips with which earlier versions of Premiere had no problem.
It's not the sort of problem expected with a premium product.
After this experience, I will not be updating premiere mid-project ever again.
How can I get these clips into CC 2014? I can't go back to the version of the project in Premiere CC without losing hours of work/edits in Premiere CC 2014.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

To answer my own question: I could find no answer to this myself and, with there being no replies in this forum, I have resorted to re-capturing the affected HDV tapes from scratch.
Luckily, I still had my HDV camera and the source tapes and had not already used any of the clips that became Offline in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
It seems clear that the MPEG importer in Premiere Pro CC 2014 rejects clips that Premiere Pro CC once accepted. It's a pretty horrible bug that ought to be fixed. Whether Adobe have a workaround or at least know about this issue and are working on it is unknown.
It also seems clear that the clip re-indexing process that occurs when upgrading a project (from CS5 to CC and also from CC to CC 2014) has a bug which causes memory consumption to grow continuously while it runs. I have 24GB RAM in my system and regardless of the amount RAM I allocated to Premiere Pro, it would eventually crash. Fortunately on restarting Premiere Pro and re-loading the project, re-indexing would resume where it left off, and, depending on the size of the project (number of clips to be indexed), after many repeated crashes and restarts re-indexing would eventually complete and the project would be OK after that.
It also seems clear that Adobe support isn't the greatest at recognising and responding when there are technical issues, publishing "known issues" (I could find no Adobe reference to either of these issues) or publishing workarounds. I logged the re-index issue as a bug and had zero response. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced these particular issues?
This is very poor support for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Lesson learned: I won't be upgrading Premiere again mid project after these experiences.

Batch processing in MPEG Streamclip

I have been given over 200 MPEG-1 clips with muxed audio to make a movie in iMovie. Dragging them right in will remove the audio, so I need to convert them to DV-PAL first
I tried MPEG Streamclip 1.8 and 1.9b2. The manual implies that I in "Batch List" should be able to add more than one file at the time. Not so. If I drag a bunch of files from the Finder into the Batch window, I'm asked what to do ("Export as DV"), where to save the converted files, enter conversion options and then I find that only the first file is added to the list.
So I tried the "Add Files..." button. "Files" is plural, but NOOOoooo. I was asked the same questions as above, but only the first file was added to the list.
Adding over 200 files and answer the same 3 dialogs for each and every one is tedious.
I have QT Pro, so I tried to create a "reference movie" containing a bunch of the mpg files. In QT player all clips play fine, but in MPEG Streamclip, only the first clip was converted. (sigh).
Now what? What is the magic trick to convert mpegs in batch mode?
Is there any other application that converts in batch?
Mac OS X 10.4.10, preferred language Swedish.
QT 7.1.6.

I have MPEG Streamclip 1.8, Mac OS X 10.3.9, QT 7.1.6, no Flip4Mac etc installed.
If I drag a bunch of files from the Finder into the Batch window, I'm asked what to do ("Export as DV"), where to save the converted files, enter conversion options and then I find that only the first file is added to the list.
With my setup all (five) MPEGs were added to the list and the conversion options were asked only once. And all files were processed.

Did you choose "Join all the files" in the conversion options? THEN only the very first input MPEG is processed (all the input DV files are processed, though). Seems like a bug with the MPEG input. But was that your problem?

Urgent!! Problems muxing .m2v files and audio!! MPEG Streamclip/Compressor

Hello!
I am under an urgent deadline to upload a short 6 min documentary clip for a client to review for screening this week. The footage was shot in 1080/60i HDV.
Usually, I find the best quality and fastest way to do this is to export directly from my FCP sequence using the '150 min Best Quality' DVD settings in compressor to get an .m2v video file and .ac3 audio file. Then I open the .m2v files in MPEG Streamclip which links it with my .ac3 file, then do 'Export MPEG with MP-2 audio". This gives me a single, muxed file that I can then upload to YouTube or Vimeo.
However, with this project, when I open up my .m2v file in MPEG Streamclip, it's recognizing the .ac3 file and I can see the info for it in the MPEG Streamclip window, but when I play the file in MPEG Streamclip or mux it, I don't hear any audio. Furthermore, after about 5 seconds into the clip, the playhead will continue moving, but the video will freeze, then maybe pick up again later. The .m2v video will play back smoothly in VLC player or Quicktime player, but not in MPEG Streamclip.
I've tried exporting different little sections of the timeline to see if maybe I had some corrupted footage or whatnot. I even exported a small clip from an older HDV project to test. But no matter where I export from, I am running into the same problem. I can bring the .m2v file and .ac3 file into DVD Studio Pro and burn a DVD with no problem, but I can't mux them. If I build the DVD file in DVD SP and try to open the .VOB file with MPEG Streamclip, I get the same problem. I even tried using a different software to mux (ffmpegX) but to no avail. When I try with ffmpegX, it either tells me I'm dropping frames, or if it works and it muxes it, when I open the MPEG file, it'll stutter at about 5 seconds in as well and I can't hear any audio, even though there is supposed to be audio in the muxed file.
I think I might have updated my Quicktime a few days ago with the system update, and maybe updated a few other things, so I don't know if this has any bearing on the problems I'm running into. But I was able just a few days ago to export HDV 1080/60i using this workflow without any problems.
I realize I have other export options, but this always seems to me to be the best quality and fastest way of doing it vs. encoding an H.264 which, on my machine is RIDICULOUSLY slow...I need to be uploading multiple versions of the cut to the client, and really need help! Thanks so much in advance!
J

what you want is an m2v program file. Export a reference copy from FCP (uncheck Make Movie Self Contained") That's very fast. Bring it into Compressor. In the settings panel find the MPEG-2 settings folder. Select Program Stream. Adjust to your liking and run. The audio and video will already be "muxed" when it's done and using compressor 3 you can set it to upload to YouTube, Mobile or similar sites.

PDF stuck on flattening then fails to print

I am having the same problem described in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/989360
My clients get this a couple times a week with PDFs I create, but they always print just fine for me. Today I finally got one that won't even print for me. As a note I am using Reader XI and most of my clients are using Acrobat (versions ?)
The hackish fix up to this point has been to "Print to Image" but I want a better solution if possible. I also use NitroPDF and it prints the PDFs without problem.
My PDFs are dynamically created using the EO.PDF .Net library (http://www.essentialobjects.com/). I am working with the library developer to figure this out, but without some idea of what Reader and Acrobat are objecting to, he can't do much more.
Here is a link to the offending PDF: http://www.maphazardspro.com/assets/50-13-05348-001.pdf. On this particular file, the problem is with printing page 4.
I have found other references to transparency flattening causing some issues with large documents. The offending page does have many PNGs with transparency.
Thanks!
Brad

Sabian,
I had my client flatten the PDF using Acrobat and then she tried printing it. Same result - hangs when flattening during printing.
However, she is not an Acrobat expert - she just uses it primarily for merging PDF pages together - so she may not be doing it right.
Could you try flattennming it and see what result you get?
Thanks!

EyeTV MPEG Plug-in error with iWork/iLife programs

I just loaded Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my 27" iMac. None of the iWork or iLife programs seem to run. I tried iMovie, Pages and Numbers and all produce a message box stating "<app> quit unexpectedly while using the EyeTV MPEG support plug-in. I had removed EyeTV several months ago. After these errors, I removed all references to EyeTV in the library caches, but the error still occurs.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Slip and slide tools don't display the four reference frames

According to the help page, "when you use the Slip or Slide tool, the Program Monitor displays the four frames involved in the edit side by side, except when editing audio only". On my machine, when I use the slip or slide tool, the program monitor continues to display the same clip; it does not divide itself up into the handy four reference frames at all. The tool still seems to work, doing its thing on the timeline, but it's useless without the four frames.
Anyone have any idea how I screwed this up, I have searched everywhere in the preferences etc, and also here and on google, but can't for the life of me figure out why it is doing this to me.
In the image below, I have the slide tool activated, and am dragging a clip, but the monitor window on the top right remains stubbornly singular.

Well I solved it myself. I will note it here so others in the same situation will find the solution.
I had installed the MainConcept Mpeg Pro plugin suite (v.5) soon after installing Premiere; Mainconcept apparently (and inexplicably) does not support this feature in the playback/monitor window. Which renders these tools useless when the Mainconcept playback is active. Very strange omission on Mainconcept's part.
To fix it go to:
Project>Project Settings>General
At the bottom of the window that pops up is a drop-down menu entitled "Video Rendering and Playback"; mine was set to playback with the Mainconcept Renderer; I switched it to Mercury Engine Playback and now the reference frames pop up as they should with Slip, Slide and other tools.
Problem solved!

Sync error with Workspace "Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema"

Dear,
I saved a document library containing folders and files as a template to use it as a template when I created a document library. It contains a lot of folders and files.
When I tried the document library to sync with workspace it gives an error "Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema"
I checked with this error and I found out that it has issue with onenote file, but my library does not contain any onenote file.
I wonder if there is any issue regarding the number of folders to sync at a time because when I tried to sync with document library similar to the big library but lesser folders and files.
Thanks

This is caused by certain OneNote files. I've filed a support ticket on this. See my
post on possible workarounds. You might view the entire library in windows explorer or flatten the folder structure in a view to confirm that there are not any OneNote related files.

MPEG-2 encoding problems

I am having a problem with compressor and dvd studio pro, not really sure if it's one or the other. I have been exporting MPEG-2 through compressor straight from the timeline (I know compressor has problems using the QT Reference files) and although it has been working, recently it has been losing frames from both the mpg-2 and the ac3. It's usually 7 frames short in video and a second short in the audio, but it varies each time I compress. Although this file does play in QT and on the desktop, when it is in DVD studio it wont play any video, it just shows a green screen and plays the audio really low. Any suggestions, or insight on what might be wrong?

The m2v video is made up of GOPs (Group of Pictures). Each one consists of 15 frames, depending on the actual format used, where only the first frame has all the pixels; the I-Frame. The rest only contain the changes from the I-Frame. FinalCut cannot edit between I-Frames, unless it has all the information from the last I-Frame. Otherwise, most of the current frame would simply contain no data. At the end of the clip. I think FinalCut tries to end at the I-Frame, so that there's not a hanging handful of frames without complete data. I also think there might be a toggle for this in the preferences.
That's what I think and I'm sticking with it.

Has mpeg-1 been removed from Compressor 4.1?

Am I missing something, or has mpeg-1 encoding been removed from Compressor 4.1?

I believe you are right…and thanks for posting…hadn't noticed until you asked the question. Maybe it's there hiding in plain sight, but I couldn't find it. A search on MPEG in the new User Guide actually comes up with one reference to MPEG1 as a setting (p 111), but that may simply be a vestige of the previous editions.
What do you need MPEG1 for? Could MP4 work?

Transparency flattening compression quality

Hi,
In Acrobat 9, an important option was missing for transparency flattening: the compression quality setting. I found that it is now available in Acrobat XI. When I saw that, I thought that my problems with flattening were a thing of the past. Well... no. I use preflight droplets to process the PDF files and the compression quality is not present in the prefilght options. Why is the quality setting available in the Transparency Flattening dialog box and not in the prefilght profile? And, if not present, why did Acrobat choose to use the "Fast processing" quality instead of "Best quality" for transparency flattening done with preflight?
Thanks!

First off, a SD (DVDs are SD) image will never look as good as a High Def Image but you probably know that.
It appears you have made a copy of the Apple preset for DVD compression, that's what we want.
Open up the MPEG-2 Setting and click to the third menu (Frame Controls), click the sprocket button to allow Frame Controls to be ON, Resize Filter should be Better and Adaptive Details should be checked, move the Anti-Alias slider to 35 and try compressing again.
You can play with these sliders to reduce aliasing (stair-stepping) and/or increase detail (enhance edges)

Using Compressor to create H.264 MPEG-4

I am trying to make a H.264 MPEG-4 video file. In Compressor, I can see that I can make a H.264 .mov file or an MPEG-4 file that is not H.264.
Is it possible to make a H.264 file that is also MPEG-4? Is there any difference beween files that end in a .mov extension and those that end in a .mp4 extension if both are H.264?

I'm not familiar with older versions of compressor. I have 3.5.1, which is what I describe here.
In the templates when you open Compressor, or when you ask for "new batch from template ..." under the file menu, one of the templates is "Create web Reference Movie". I assume this is what you want.
If you choose this template, you have three options, Large, Medium, and Small web movie. Compressor will make all three unless you click on the - in the right side of the window for the ones you don't want.
Suppose you choose Small web movie. Drag the Icon for your movie into the box on the left with the down arrow. Click on Small web movie and you will get the Inspector window. What you first see in the Inspector is the Summary. There are five additional windows that you can get by clicking on the icons above the word Summary. The second icon is Encoder. The default is a H.264 mov file for Quicktime. You can change the file format in Encoder to MPEG-4. This will produce a movie with H.264 encoding with a mp4 extension.
In my experience compressor produces a smaller file with this option but not as sharp. Compressor also wants to do things like make an HTML file for your movie. This is covered somewhat here.
