FS-100 emergency help questions

Additional apologies for posting this same thing on the Cow...
Apologies in advance if this is not the right place to be asking this but I'm in a pickle about how to extract what was shot today using the FS-100 connected to an AG-HPX170P.
The preface is that I have never used either prior to today. The reason being is that I don't own either. I'm doing (trying to do) a favor for a good friend wishing to make a doc on an ex rodeo champ who is paralysed from his endeavors.
So after two hours of trying to figure out how to get this thing to work (with everybody standing around tapping their feet) I managed the following settings on the FS:
Record: Normal
HDD: DVCProHD
DV Format: P2 PN
Functions: Tapeless
Utilities: (NA)
Reels: R0 0
Play: Play All
Play From: Track List (and Play All)
Control: Tapeless
I recorded the first interview with my DVX 100B in Squeeze mode, 24P, hoping that will blend in with the HD somehow in the future.
I brought it home and hooked it up to my G5. Currently using FCS 2.
I've found no files that are in the 0 through 9 folders and have another folder with files that have the .mxf extension. The log folder has the .xml.
So the $64. question is:
"Is there anyway I can recoup what I have?"
"How can I do it?"
"How much will it cost me for this information?"
"Should I start loading the chambers now, or just take the pill?"
I'm scheduled to shoot more tomorrow morning so it there's anyone out there with that magic bullet I am forever in your (y'all's) debt.
Thanks,
j
ps; I do have the books and am reading as fast as these tired old eyes and do...

Used to have to "Organize P2" on the FS100. That would put the files in a format that would adhere to the P2 directory and file structure. Then Log and transfer the footage into the project.
I understand there became an option on some firestores to record in quicktime in which case you would drag them to a drive. If you are seeing MXFs it sounds like you need to "Organize P2" on the firestore.
They should have a manual online for the device.
from your description of the footage it should come into a project with a 720P 24 format easy setup.
24PN is a native 23.98 DVCProHD.
I have not used a firestore in a couple of years, but that is what I remember.

Map.xml and context-sensitive help question

We're changing the tools we use to generate JavaHelp from RoboHelp to WebWorks.
RoboHelp's output always includes a file named map.xml. WebWorks doesn't include this file.
My understanding is that map.xml is what applications use to find the correct context-sensitive topic. Is that right? Will the app be able to find context-sensitive files without it?
Stan Stansbury

There are a couple of posts about masterdata.xml that seem to indicate it's not a problem. See if either of these help.
Context Sensitive Help Question
MasterData.xml
For the 'main portal page' bit - maybe the developer wants to know the Start Page of the project, rather than the Default Topic? I'm not very familiar with CSH and webhelp, so I'm uncertain of the details the developer needs, but I wouldn't think you'd have to change anything as long as they have all the necessary details.

Go to itunes and restore your phone from backup, make sure you have a recent backup in itunes of your phone first.

Before your Firefox Help question (Why is it that text is transposed over text when viewing certain websites. I'm running win 7 and the latest version of FF.)

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

How to Open the FailedFilesLog.txt File (statement), and How to Increase the 100 File Limit (question)

It took us a while to figure this out, so I'm posting this in case it's helpful for someone out there. Plus, I have a question...
DPM gave the following error for one of our file servers:
Description: The replica of Volume D:\ on <servername> is inconsistent with the protected data source. Number of files skipped for synchronization due to errors has exceeded the maximum allowed limit of 100 files on this data
source (ID 32538 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FE)
Recommended action: Review the failure errors for individual files from the log file
\\?\Volume{8492c150-f195-11de-a186-001cc4ef89a0}\B1E9D373-2C03-464E-A472-99BC93DB1E2A\FailedFilesLog.txt and take appropriate action. If some files fail consistently, you can exclude the folders containing these files by modifying the protection group or
moving the files to another location.
So, how do you actually open the FailedFilesLog.txt file shown in this DPM alert? What is this path referring to? Well, this is the mount point for the protected server's replica volume on the DPM server, which is mounted under \Program
Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\servername\File System. Here you'll see the mount points for all of the server's protected volumes. However, if you try to open one of these mounted volumes
in Windows Explorer, you'll get Access Denied, even if you have administrator rights. (If someone knows of a way around this, please let me know). As a workaround, you can access this mounted volume in an elevated
command prompt. Steps:
Open an Administrator Command Prompt
Type mountvol <AnyAvailableDriveLetter>: \\?\Volume{VolumeGUID}
Example: mountvol m: \\?\Volume{8492c150-f195-11de-a186-001cc4ef89a0} Note that we're only using the first part of the path to the FailedFilesLog.txt
file given in the DPM alert, starting from \\? and ending after the
} character.
Next, type m: to change to the newly mounted m: drive.
Then type cd B1E9D373-2C03-464E-A472-99BC93DB1E2A This is actually a folder name so we're just going into this folder.
Finally type dir and you should see the FailedFilesLog.txt file. This file can be copied to another location where it's easier to use (i.e. in Windows Explorer).
Be sure to unmount this volume when you're done by typing mountvol m: /d in the command prompt. (Mountvol reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772586(WS.10).aspx.)
What a pain, eh? But at least by reviewing the FailedFilesLog.txt file you can determine which files or folders caused the sync to fail and thus take action accordingly.
Now, here's my question: Where is that registry key that lets me adjust the limit of 100 files that DPM allows to be skipped before it fails the replica? Hopefully someone out there will tell me. I know this can be done because Kapil Malhotra
said so in this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dataprotectionmanager/browse_thread/thread/a179fa30fb50c9b0/e9a348f2a9386063?lnk=raot.
Also, does anyone know what the internal error code 0x809909FE means in this alert? Knowing this my help us determine what caused these files to fail. Interestingly, in the FailedFilesLog.txt file, it gave a different error code next to each failed file:
0x80070002.
-Taylorbox

Thanks for responding, Fahd. So, just to be sure...
Do I add this registry key to the DPM server or to the protected servers (or both)?
In either case, the ContinueOnFailure key does not currently exist. So, I must create this key and the MaxFailedFiles DWORD value
manually, right?
Does the server in which I create this regkey have to be restarted for it to take affect?
Can the DPM alert for the 0x809909FE error event (for exceeding the limit of 100 failures) please be adjusted to provide a path to the FailedFilesLog.txt file
that actually works if you click on it?
Any ideas on why the 0x80070002 "File not found" error happened? The files on the server were simply created and then deleted. Why would such file activity lead to this error?
Thanks,
-Taylorbox

Warranty Void query(High Impotence) AND DISK USAGE 100% NEED HELP!!!

I Have an HP Dv6 pavillion 7011tx. after i upgraded this laptop to windows 8, i observed that the disk usage (in task manager) always shows 100% activity..had an Clean boot, tried all the disk checks and management things . rebooted th pc again with windows 8 but still the problem continues..
i dont think there is any solution to this problem as i have seen many many more other posts similar to this problem
COMING TO MY QUERY,
I think that the problem is with bios config, my hardisk type is SATA but the bios has it set to EF mode currently .
Which has made my pc very very slow The insyde h20 bios sucks!
Bios utlilty doesnt has the option even to change it. Is there any solution to this problem?
PC Configuration:
I5 3rd gen intel processor
6GB Ram
600GB HDD
CAN THIS CONFIGURATION ACHIEVE A 100% DISK USAGE EVEN IF NOTHING BIG IS RUNNING IN BACKGROUND?
I AM THINKING TO BUY AN SOLID STATE DRIVE, i hope that it will resolve the problem as it is compatible on both the mode. I will extend my HDD with SDD!
Can i do it myself or shall i have to go to HP CENTER.
DOES MY WARRANTY GETS VOID IF I OPEN THE LAPTOP BACK FOR THIS ?
REPLY ASAP (URGENT)

Hi,
Disk Usage 100% does not mean disk full but there is task which is doing a lot of i/o during that time (probably swap/page file). If nothing using i/o, the number should be down to 0% as shown:
Now, I start a download, you can see both disk usage and Networks activities:
In your case, the utility may do a lot of i/o to the swap/page file. My suggestion: stop it or BUYING MORE RAM.
Hope this helps.

Hi I have copied over my iTunes to a new PC and now there are songs missing and when try to re download on iTunes it says play. When you hit play it sends you off to search for a file that doesn't exist. When syncing it says 100 issues Help please

Hi,
I have just put my iTunes on a new laptop by hard drive method and some songs are not there. When I go into iTunes it's doesn't say download or purchase it says play.
So you press play and it opens a separate box saying search for file which isn't there.
I have read tons of stuff re this but still not got it fixed. It's not a HD issue because iTunes won't let me download it why ?
Hopefully someone can help
Thanks David

Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

Adobe assistant says (error 100) please help what fixes this problem?!?

Hi I've tried to download the trials for a few programs to see if I'd like to upgrade to CS5. Everytime I restart the download assistant it asks me to sign in and when i put in my user name/password it says theres a problem connecting to the adobe.com website (error 100). I've restarted my computer, the assistant several times as well as checked my internet connection and keep getting the same error. My user name/password is obviously correct as I'm able to sign into adobe.com sans the download assistant just fine to write this complaint. Is there a fix for this problem?!? please help and any feed back is appriciated thanks!

Hi thanks for the link above.
I cleared all the cookies, dissabled my virus protection even, redownlaoded the download assistant/refreashed the pages several time and still no luck :[
The assistant downloader still pops up us an error 100 when I try and sign in this is very frustrating.
Do you know of anything else that can fix this?!? As I know it is not a connection error.
Kindly,
Antonia

Help/Question with Reinstall OSX 10.2.1 on iBook G4

First off...I just want to say that if someone can take the time to assist me I would appreciate it more than you know! Now...on to my issue:
History:
I have a iBook G4 running, I think on either 10.3 or 10.4 (I can't tell you now because it won't start up). I have the discs for 10.2.1 that came with the computer. I purchased my iBook from a roommate of mine a few years back and before selling it to me he loading 10.3 or 10.4, and I don't have those discs.
I was having an issue at start up...It would load to the point where I could see the picture I had on my desktop, and the dock would come up. Then it would stop and none of the icons on my desktop would show and neither would the menu bar at the top of the screen. When I clicked on an application in the dock, it would not load...the computer was trying (you could hear it) but it never would load it.
So, I did some online searching (using my wife's MacBook...yes, I wish we had two) and used the disk utility to verify my disc. It said the "keys were out of order". So, I clicked repair, and it said that it repaired "Book B" (at least I think that's what it said).
So, I restarted my computer, and now it comes to the gray screen with the clear spinning thing as though it is about to load. It sits there a while, and then just shuts off. So, I tried to reset the PRAM and that didn't do anything either.
Problem I now have:
I am now to the point that I am thinking I need to reinstall OSX...as said, I have the 10.2.1 discs that came with it upon purchase, but I know my roommate upgraded me to a newer version. I have lots of documents on here that I don't want to lose (and programs I don't have the discs for) and I plan to choose the "Archive and Install" and "Preserve User and Network Settings" Options.
Questions:
Is this what I should do?
and if so...
Will installing an older version than what I currently have any negative impact on the install or in me keeping my current documents and programs?

DiskWarrior is the only application that "can" fix this problem, but there is no 100% guarantee. You need to get the DW CD & boot from the CD to fix the problem.
Look at these links about DW.

http://www.jimarnold.org/blog/2008/10/keys-out-of-order-on-macbook-diskwarrior-t o-the-rescue/
I assume you don't have a backup of your hard drive, or you could just erase the hard drive & copy the backup files to it. Your next investment should be to buy & use an external hard drive for backup. You can get one for about the price + of DW.

Emergency help? CS3 (AS 2 I think...)

hello everyone,
I am hoping I can help someone with a delivery deadline of
end of day today.
This is handed off to me with the hope that I can, but I am a
new AS
programmer, soooo...
There is an image gallery that loads thumbs from an xml file.
The thumbs are links, each opening a larger version while
"whiting out" the
center/thumb content.
Clicking on the larger image closes it and the thumbs
reappear.
BUGS
1. 1st thumb image isn't a link when swf loads
2. when a thumb is enlarged, it is no longer a link when it
is collapsed
back to the thumbs
3. sometimes there are links to thumbs exposed when a larger
image is loaded
a) result is that sometimes when collapsing a larger image a
new large
image loads instead of collapsing to the thumbs

question) Do i need an else section to cover non https?
If so, what do i need to set for http properties.
// check if https is wanted
// yes - send https
String useHttps = cf.get("useHttps", "true");
if (useHttps.equals("true")) {
logger.debug(classMethod + "https mode=" + useHttps);
System.setProperty(

Pixma Pro 100 Colour Space Questions

Hi
I Have a few questions related to Printing from lightroom I am new to this so bare with me.
1) I have a canon 7D I shoot in Raw 12-14 bit ? and most of my processing is done within lightroom so no need to export to photoshop however if i was to would this export as a 16bit file tiff or Jpeg ? If so if I was to after post processing in photoshop then back into lightroom this would only allow me to print in tiff or jpeg is this correct as a psd file/jpeg ?.
2) As I only edit in lightroom I can print directly in CR2 Raw format 12-14bit by using the canon print studio pro plugin ? or is this exported to the translator as a 16bit file ? and then use the paper manufactures ICC profile i.e (canon paper) for best results do I lose colour print quality by printing from Raw 12-14 bit rather than 16bit tiff/jpeg.
3) By using the Paper Manufactures ICC Profiles will the original raw file 12-14bit from 7Dcamera sRGB be translated to the printer by default from lightroom or is the colour space not needed as I havent converted to 16 Bit in post processing?
3) I havent had my monitor calibrated yet but intend to do so in the future, but until then I see no point in messing around with pro mode or sRGB or Adobe RGB or Pro photoRGB.
4) If I use lightrooms canon print studio pro pluggin is the colour space automatically translated from the settings in my camera or do I need to enable this in lightroom first ?.
5) I use a Mac running yosemite 10.10 and would like to know more about ICC profiles where to find the manufactures ICC Profiles how to download and where to store can you recommend a common website for learning how to do this on a mac ?.
6) As you can see I just want to print the best images from camera to printer without to much science involved however I am willing to learn but get confused with the different workspace post production softwares menu's for best results which i would prosume until i get my monitor calibrated proffesionally would be to print from Raw with the Manufactures ICC Profiles ?.
7) Are colour space and calibration settings all about printing what you have on the screen or is it mainly for extra colour depth in the print ?.
I can self calibrate my monitor to adobe RGB and have my camera shoot on adobe RGB -calibration with software but have been told i need colour monitoring devices correct ? if I was to do this and still just used the ICC paper profiles would the prints be any better ?.
My first prints were excellent very similar to what I see on the screen anyway but I checked lightrooms settings and these are on Pro photo RGB for external editing and is this the colour space for print studio pluggin also or is it just native Raw sRGB if I change the settings it says I will lose the maxium potential colour space.
sorry for the influx of questions :-)
Thomas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can not set the printer to match the monitor. You must set the monitor to match the printer. But the printer is already calibrated by the factory.
First, you must not let the printer set anything. Turn off every bit off control it has. You can do this with the Canon My Printer under the Printer Settings tab. Do you know how? I will guess, yes, for now but if you don't get back to me.
Second, you need to have your photo editor (like Photoshop or Lightroom) handle all the print settings and color matching. You know how to do this? I prefer Photoshop and I use AdobeRGB color space.
And lastly, it is essential you get some settings on your monitor that somewhat matches what the printer is printing. Your printer may be doing exactly what you are telling it to do and you have no idea it is, because your monitor is so far off. If you don't do this step, you can forget the other steps. However, there are only a few things that you need to be concerned with. You don't need any fancy extra add-on to do this. No additional software or gadgets, etc. No monkeys, no spiders, nothing!
Most people set their monitors too bright.
You must get the gray-scale very close. You need to get the brightness very close and you need the contrast very close.
After you do these things you can make adjustments to your prints by just looking at your screen. Because you know the monitor and printer are on the same level. One more point, you can NOT get a printer to print every color exactly the way you see it. It isn't possible as all colors and adjustments effect all others. My goal is to get the skin tones right. That is what people notice most. Remember you are dealing with two different disciplines here. One is colored light and the other is colored dyes. They are not the same thing.
For instance, I know my Pro-100 tends to print slightly darker than what I see on the monitor (typical). So, I automatically know to set it's prints 1/2 to one stop brighter in Photoshop, in my case. It also prints with a slightly warn tone. Most of the time, with portraits especially, this if OK but sometimes it is not. In that case I adjust the "temp" setting slightly cooler in PS.
All the Canon photo printers I have ever seen have this warm/magenta cast. Canon engineers must prefer this look. It can not be changed. You need to "fix" it in post.
Make sure you have the correct ICC profiles and you are using Canon brand ink and paper until you get good with the printer. Very, very important, otherwise you don't know if the printer is doing exactly what you are telling it to or not.
Important is, use the USB connection until everything is right. You are just adding another issue when you try to set up the printing and the wireless all at the same time. Just like using Canon branded products until it is a go. Use a real printer USB cable. Not just any old USB cable. Get everything right before you explore.
Good luck.
