Help with converting a Nero file

I have previously converted a dvd insert designed with Nero into a pdf using adobe acrobat in order to send to someone else. When I tried to do the same thing today with a new Nero designed insert the conversion wouldn't work. The message said adobe didn't support the program that created the file. Any ideas?

thanks for your response.
When I create a dvd insert or cd label etc using Nero the file extension is nct - nero cover template. The printer wants the file as a pdf as he can't open Nero files. I have version 9.3 of acrobat.

Subject: help with converting a Nero file
Nero is simply a CD/DVD burning application and should have no effect on the type of files that will eventually be on the CD/DVD.
What type of files are you trying to convert and exactly how are you trying to convert them? Plus, it would help to know the version of Acrobat you are using.

Need help with converting a Divx file

I am having a **** of a time converting a Divx file to use in FCP.
This is the file I am trying to work with: http://www.archive.org/details/F6FHellcat_PilotInstruction (It's the 164 MB Divx file)
While I have downloaded other Divx files from the same site and used QT to convert them to QT movies, this file is not playable by QT or a number of other programs.
The only program I have found that plays this file is VLC.
When trying to convert to a QT file, VLC is unsuccessful at everything EXCEPT changing the container to QT.
When I change the container, I get a QT file that is playable in QT and FCP, but it does not have audio. This is not a big deal.
The bigger problem is that when I play the new file in QT, the duration matched that of the original file.
When I import the file into FCP, the duration is 2 minutes shorter. The last 2 minutes are missing!
I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have on how to get a usable file from the original.
Thanks.

If the audio is no big deal, you can use Wondershare Video Converter, but it will set you back 40 clams.
You can download a free trial from their site.

I got it to convert successfully and it imported into FCP completely intact...but without audio.

Hi All, I am looking for conversion software that will allow me to convert a ppsx file to a video file on OS10.5.8.

Hi Klaus1, Thanks for your response. I can open and view the file without difficulty. My issue is getting into a video format that I can upload to a Website for client viewing. All the conersion products I can find are for a newer OS then 10.5.8. I am working on a deadline of midnight tonight-and cannot upgrade that quickly.

Help with converting a PDF file to excel

I tried to convert my PDF credit card statement to excel but it says the file is password protected. I did not set it up as a password protected file; it came from my on-line banking site. Can anyone help?

You must be using the subscription service with Adobe Reader (ExportPDF)?
If so, you would need the password for the pdf. The bank may have (automatically) added a password preventing any changes. That would need to be removed first.

Help with converting an .aac file to .mp3!

Is there anyway in iTunes to convert your entire library into a .mp3 file without it creating duplicates? Or is there a way to make it create the duplicates and then select every other song to easly get rid of the older .aac file?
Thanks for your help!!!

Would this work for me...? My problem is that I have about 6000 .WAV songs I've put from all my CD collection into my external 400 GB drive library. After a year of using my computer as a jukebox, I also decided to get an Ipod Shuffle, and would like to periodically put MP3 formatted songs on it from my library. So far, I've been 'converting' them in Itunes to mp3 (keeping the wav's of course) then smartlisting (by size) the mp3's into a playlist to put on the Ipod. The problem is that even though the mp3s are small, I don't want to use up disk space on the external drive for those essentially duplicate and only temporarily needed files. I know I can delete them manually after putting them on my Ipod, but that's lots of chances to accidentally delete a wav by mistake or otherwise screw up and waste time.
I'd really just like to create a separate physical place on my internal drive as the 'destination' and then convert a few hundred (or even all 6000!) of my wavs to mp3 into that directory, then go back to using the external (main, 'wav')library for any new CD's I import. Can this be done without somehow screwing up the main library data file, and will I still be able to consider that my external drive has all the information which goes with the .wav files so that if I copy everything on it I've truly done a backup? (I don't care if I lose the mp3's, as they are only transient en route to the Ipod). I wish I could set Itunes to keep everything on my computer in .wav, and convert automatically to mp3 when loading my Ipod...!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Help with quality of exported files

The problem: I'm trying to get a good quality, 34 minute movie onto a DVD with chapter markers separating individual short films. This is supposed to be a compilation of 8 family movies, in addition to an introduction and credits at the end. Four movies are old movies made in iMovie and are .m4v files. Four were made in FCE earlier this year. I linked everything together in a Master Sequence, putting pauses in between each with some livetype text files to introduce each video. The m4v files were imported and placed in the master sequence. The others are nested sequences. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each section. My intention was to export this one master sequence as a quick time movie, then put it into iDVD.
It worked, but the quality was horrible! Everything became grainy, even the movies I had previously created in FCE. This was very disappointing. So I expertimented with a few things, and here’s what I found.
When I exported a quicktime movie, the quality degraded. It became grainy. Also, it changed the aspect ratio and stretches everything horizontally, as if to take a standard size screen and stretch it to a widescreen. It did this even with the original movies I had made in FCE. I don’t like building self contained movies using this mode because the file sizes are too big, so when I export I tend to use quick time conversion. In this case, I was hoping a non-self contained movie would merely point to all the original content and not add compression artifacts (or something like that). It turns out it made it worse.
When I tried to export a quicktime conversion, 640x480 VGA, best quality, H.264, the machine couldn’t do it. It ran for an hour or so and then crashed. Twice. That is for the entire movie. When I export individual clips (3-6 minutes) it works. The quality is good for movies made in FCE, not as good for imported m4v movies made long ago in iMovie, but better than what I get exporting quicktime movie files, either self contained or not. This is surprising to me, because I was expecting the export quick time movie command to produce the best quality. Also, I’m concerned that if I was able to create this, iDVD would not see any chapter markers anyway.
So there is a problem either way. Experimenting has led me to discover several questions/issues which need answering:
Issue #1: Why can’t I get a quick time movie of the same quality as what I see on the canvas, using the quick time movie export command? On a side note, the user's manual says something about a settings pop up menu where you can deselect the "recompress all frames" option. I can't seem to find this, and was thinking maybe that would help.
Issue#2: Why do m4v files which are very high quality in iTunes suddenly become poor quality when imported into a sequence? Seems to be an import problem, because the movies are already grainy when they’re on the canvas. I thought about making XML files and importing them that way, but the original project files in iMovie are gone.
Issue #3: Why do I end up with a stretched picture if I export quick time movies and there are mixed aspect ratio contents in the sequence (the m4v files are widescreen, the others are not)? More important, how to I get FCE to not do this?
Issue #4: When I export movies using quick time movie (not conversion), the grainy movies actually look better when played in VLC. They also look good when opened with FCE. How can I get that kind of quality in quick time, or at least in iDVD? Perhaps that would solve my problem.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
E

Thanks for the response. I’m not fluent with codecs or video compression, so this project quickly became more trouble than I expected.
It turns out the nested sequences are not H.264, the compression field is blank for the nested sequences. I double checked and the other properties are correct. Sorry about that. The other movies, though, (ones built in iMovie for iTunes) are H.264.
These four . m4v movies are in 960x540 and 480 x 272 because of the way they were exported in iMovie (Share -> Export Movie opens a menu with four sizes: Tiny 176 x 144, Mobile 480 x 272, Medium 640 x 360, and Large 960 x 540).
I just imported the final products (what was exported from iMovie) as clips into FCE. Sounds like I should not be doing that. The original media is on my computer, but not the iMovie project files, and for what I’m trying to do it’s just not worth the time to rebuild the movies in FCE.
Bottom Line: Here’s the current status of the project:
All eight of the movies, by themselves, play well in quicktime. I can put all of them on a DVD, and they still play ok. I wanted to string them all together in one sequence, with some transitions in between (creating a “Play All” option on the DVD). That’s why I nested the sequences, and imported the movies made from iMovie, than added chapter markers. Unfortunately, putting these different types of media together and asking the computer to make one sequence is creating a mess. So I’m sticking with Plan B and putting the movies on a DVD without trying to merge them into a single track.
A few follow up questions…
Out of curiosity, when you say “convert everything to QuickTime DV NTSC 720x480 at 29.97fps with 48k audio,” do you mean the original media (all of the bits of video and stills that came from the camera) or the edited sequences I’m currently working with? As a lesson learned, should I be changing properties of clips before importing them to FCE, so the source material has consistent aspect ratios?
The still images, though they are huge, show up with much better quality than the movies (which is expected, and I’m ok with). So I get a product which includes both video and still images, where the images are very sharp and the movie portions are a bit grainy (because they were taken on a small digital camera). If I change the size on the stills, won’t that just bring the still image quality down?
I’m still baffled at why using the export quick time movie command makes a video of lower quality than when using quick time conversion (in other cases as well, not just this project). In every case, I’ve got digital pictures and movies from my digital camera, and some text in FCE or LiveType files on top of that, usually with additional audio tracks.

Please Help with Converting PDF document to Word Document

I have downloaded our PDF document to be converted to a word document --- it did not work correctly--we need help with this
Scott Munsen
Abbott House -- Mitchell, SD

Good day Scott,
I received your document via our File Conversion Issue form. The root of the problem you're facing is the quality of the scan. I'm not sure if you were starting with a poor quality hard-copy or simply low DPI settings on your scanner, but the reason the results you received were so different than the PDF was the quality of the input.
If you're hard copy looks clearer than the PDF file you created, I would suggest increasing the resolution settings on your scanner.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,

Help with converting FLAC to ALAC while retaining metadata and cover art

Hi,
I've decided to embark on the long trek to convert my 18k+ FLAC music library into ALAC. I've decided on ALAC for mainly 2 reasons: iTunes/iPhone/iMac/Sonos compatibility and my desire to keep with a lossless format.
My library is pretty eclectic; I have quite a bit of classical music along with many other genres. I have spent quite a bit of time maintaining the correct tag information; I do not want to lose any of this info that I've painstakingly added to my library over the years. The tags that I use on my FLAC files are:
Filename
Title
Artist
Album
Album Artist
Disc Number
Disc Count
Compilation
Comment
Year
Genre
Track
Composer
Orchestra
Conductor
Performer
Length
Modified
Path
I want to be especially sure that I maintain the data in Composer, Orchestra, Performer and Conductor in my migration to ALAC. I also want to include my CD art in each track (many of which I had to scan since some of my CD's are not available for sale). The CD covers are stored in a "folder.jpg" file in the path of each CD's contents. I would really like the automated conversion process to pick up each "folder.jpg" and embed it in the appropriate tracks.
I have a license for dbPowerAmp, so I can do the conversion on the Windows side if need be (I have BootCamp set up and use Fusion), but I would prefer to do everything in Mac.
I am hoping that some of you good folks will offer up comments about the feasibility of this endeavor, and advise me on possible tools to use, paths to take, pitfalls to watch out for, etc.
Thank you for your time.
Mike

I finally got done with the conversion. It took 2 weeks running XLD of 24x7, but at last it's over with.
I first used iTunes "download missing album art" to start the process. It populated about 50% of my collection, but I found that many of the album art was wrong. For instance, with collections (various artists) it populated the album art from the first track; with others, it put in the wrong album cover for the right CD. These were mostly because iTunes would get a contemporary cover, where my cover was from an older pressing of the disk.
I purchased a program called TuneUp which has helped with my missing album artwork, and also with correcting typos. But even with using TuneUp, I probably have a couple of weeks worth of work left to do.
Then comes the renaming of the Classical music tracks.

Hi,
Is it true that you're using IIS to host the application? Could you check whether the process is x64 or x86 one via task manager or config in IIS manager?

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun.

Help with Canon G9 RAW file in CS2

I have CS2, and I recently purchased a Canon G9. I noticed that there is an update for Camera RAW that listed the G9 in it. But the update for CS2 doesn't. Can someone point me to how I can read G9 RAW file in CS2?
Thanks.

Use the most recent DNG Converter (version 4.3.1 part of the Camera Raw 4.3.1 download) and convert the G9 files to DNG. Course, with this nice new camera, it would be a real shame to be stuck on Camera Raw 3.x cause Camera Raw 4.x (and Photoshop CS3) is a powerful and worthwhile update.

Help With converting px to em...

So, I thought that I would have a go at converting a site from all px to em to help with accessibility and using browser zoom. I wish I'd never started!
This is how I approached it.
     1) Set my font to 100%
     2) Change all font sizes to em
     3) Feel smug
     4) Notice that after a couple of ramps up on the zoom the layout goes pear-shaped
     5) Change all width/height dimensions to em
     6) Change all padding/margin dimensions to em
     7) Feel a little tearful
     8) Realise I don't have a back-up style sheet
     9) Re-draw WWW domination plan
     10) Start to make a little progress
     11) Try out the negative zoom
     12) See that screw my layout - don't understand it
     14) Add some min-width/min-height rules
     12) Feel a little tearful...
     13) Came here to be with friends
I worked out I think, that using flexible units in a fixed environment is going to cause problems.
I'm having trouble with layout more than text-size. I think the only thing that will cause me grief with text-size is with nested element and the way that em is inherited but, the site is quite straight forward, apart from a few floated elements.
I thnk my main problems are with the layout: Images, background images and how to approach the whold width/height thing.
Martin
PS I won't be at my PC for a while so, if you respond and I don't come back to you, it's not because I'm not interested. I'm too ashamed and confused to post a live page!

Hi Martin
The one thing that confuses people when converting from px to em units is that they think px is a fixed size and em's are flexible, which unfortunately is not true, and just to confuse things even more Microsoft even treat px's as a relative size, (this is actually correct if you look at the css1 spec).
The best advice I can offer is to start with the layout when converting to em's and worry about the font etc. later, because as they say a pixel is relative.

Help with Converting an Access query

Hello:
First time poster and would appreciate some help in converting this Access query into T-SQL so I can use in a Stored Procedure. I don't need help in resolving the syntax for the variables as parameter in the second query, but stuck in writing the first query
in T-SQL . I assume I need some type of nested query with a left join to another query in T-SQL.
How do I convert this from Access into MS-SQL
SELECT TBL_MONTH.L_Month, TBL_MONTH.L_MonthName
FROM TBL_MONTH LEFT JOIN qry_MonthCheck ON TBL_MONTH.L_Month = qry_MonthCheck.L_Month
WHERE (((qry_MonthCheck.L_Month) Is Null));
qryMonthCheck in Access is defined as
SELECT TBL_MONTH.L_Month, TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_YEAR, TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_USER, TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_LOCATION
FROM TBL_MONTH RIGHT JOIN TBL_SIGNOFF ON TBL_MONTH.L_Month = TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_MONTH
WHERE (((TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_YEAR)=[forms]![frm_signoff]![cboyear]) AND ((TBL_SIGNOFF.SO_LOCATION)=[Tempvars]![tmpVarUserLOC]));

It is very much up to personal taste. For tables I use no prefix at all. Or suffix. I prefer plural: categories, products, etc. For junction tables, I drop the plural in the first entity, for instance productcategories. As for the case, many people prefer
initial uppercase, while I go for lowercase only. But initial uppercase has its points, particularly in documentation. I am a staunch advocate of using case-sensitive collation for metadata. I don't see any point in mixing productcategories, Productcategories,
ProductCategories etc. That can only cause confusion.
As for either entities, I don't use views much, and I don't have any prefix for these either. In fact, several views I've been involved used to be tables once upon a time.
If you want to add a marker to the object name, I recommend using a suffix. It is much easier to find objects in the version control system and other browser, when not everything is cluttered on the same letter. For instance, I typically add _sp at the end
of stored procedure names.
