Help with MPEG - 2 and the sound...please

Hey people...I am new to the Imovie and I am really excited on learning but I need some help. One problem:
"If audio is missing from your imported QuickTime movie, you may be importing video in MPEG-1 Muxed format or MPEG-2 Muxed format. Only the video portion is imported from movies in these format"
Does anyone know how I can get that audio from the clip????

I justed asked the same question yesterday and this did it....

I just finished my first movie as a result of that too... so it works.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

I need some serious help with MPEG Streamclip and iMovie 11

Hello, everyone!
I hope that some kind soul here is able to help me. My sister-in-law asked me if I could help her re-edit a video that they made of a conference she gave because she didn't like the way some parts were edited. I oh-so-kindly (and perhaps stupidly) offered to help her out!
A little background: even though I studied audiovisual communications in college, I leaned (a LOT) towards the audio production part of it and, lately, photography, too. That means that I'm not very good at the whole creating-a-movie-in-iMovie thing, even though I know it's supposed to be easy.
So, here goes: I have a DVD from her which has the typical TS files for audio and video. I downloaded a program called MPEG Streamclip and then it said I needed to buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component so that I could rip the DVD my sister-in-law gave me. I bought the component.
I've converted, done small, 1-minute tests, of the DVD with MPEG Streamclip to DV and also to MP4 (just in case). I do it, then import them to iMovie 11. I don't edit anything at all, just a test to see how it looks, so I immediately send the project to iDVD to see how it looks. It DOES NOT look good.
Compared to the DVD she gave me, which looks all smooth (picture-wise), mine has a certain amount (NOT HUGE) of pixelation. I can tell especially because there are some slides that were added to her project, so I can see the pixelated parts around the edges of the letters.
The DVD she gave me does NOT look HD. In fact, it looks SD (4:3), so I don't believe it's that.
If anybody here knows about this, what am I doing wrong? Am I not ripping it correctly using MPEG Streamclip? Am I not making the iMovie 11 project right? Am I burning in the "wrong way"?
If it's the MPEG Streamclip ripping that I'm doing wrong, what are the settings I should be using? What format should I be using so that it is VERY iMovie-friendly?
I want the final video that I would edit to look exactly as the one she gave me. That IS possible, right?
For extra information, if needed, I am running a MacBook Pro, 13", i7 with 4 GB of RAM and am running OS 10.6.6. I've been a Mac user since the OS 9 days.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.
Serge

Ok. Got it!!!
Z, thanks a lot!! Now things don't look pixelated and my test burn looks exactly like the dvd my sister-in-law gave me... except for ONE THING:
There are these graphics done in I-don't-know-what program with a cube transition. They look like when you do 3D cube transitions in virtual desktop, you know?
Anyway, HER dvd looks completely smooth when you see these transitions but MY dvd looks... well, not right. It looks a bit like the screen or the letters "tremble" or shake a bit. I hope you can understand what I'm saying.
I followed your advice to the letter and everything is perfect with the exception of those transitions (because after the transition passes and you see the slide with the writing, it looks completely smooth).
Do you know of something that I can do to help with this problem?
Thanks again!
Serge

Help with Essbase 9 and the Java API

Hi, I am trying to connect to Essbase from a Java desktop application and I am unable to do so. I need to know if I am in principle doing the right things and if I have the correct environment set up.
We have a server with Essbase version 9.3.1. We normally use essbase via the Excel Addin, and I have already written Excel applications that utilise both the addin and the Essbase VB API. Now I need to connect to Essbase but from outside Excel and using the Java API. I have no idea what APS is nor does my Essbase Administrator.
My application has the following code (adapted from a post in this forum) -
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s_userName = "user";
String s_password = "password";
String s_olapSvrName = "ustca111";
String s_provider = "http://localhost:13080/aps/JAPI";
try{
IEssbase ess = IEssbase.Home.create(IEssbase.JAPI_VERSION);
IEssDomain dom = ess.signOn(s_userName, s_password, false, null, s_provider);
IEssOlapServer olapSvr = dom.getOlapServer(s_olapSvrName);
olapSvr.connect();
System.out.println("Connection to Analyic server '" + olapSvr.getName() + "' was successful.");
olapSvr.disconnect();
}catch(EssException exp){
System.out.println(exp.getMessage());
I am running my application on my computer, not on the Essbase server, and the username I am using is the same one I use (as a user of Essbase) via the Essbase Addin in Excel, not an admin login.
When I run the app I get:
"Cannot connect to Provider Server.Make sure the signon parameters are correct and the Provider Server is running."
Please can you confirm:
1) Do I need an admin login for my client application to connect to the Essbase server or can I use a normal read-access login, like the one I use in Excel?
2) Is the provider always the same regardless of the computer, i.e. "http://localhost:13080/aps/JAPI"; How do I know what this has to be? Where do I get this information from?
3) How can I make sure that the Server is running the necessary "Provider Server", is this just a service that will show on services.msc of the server? What should I ask the Essbase Administrator for him to tell me what I need?
Thank you very much.
Leo

Tim, when I look in my computer's Essbase installation path I can only find the following jar files (from the ones you have listed).
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\external\css\log4j-1.2.8.jar
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\lib\ess_es_server.jar
C:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\JavaAPI\lib\ess_japi.jar
I do not have css-9_3_1.jar or interop-sdk.jar.
In order to try the embedded mode, I added the three jars I have to the classpath, and have re-built and ran with "embedded" as the provider. This is what I got in my output screen:
run:

As you can see, this has worked (as I get the data I was looking for at the end), but when I had the url in the provider string, I just get the below, without the initial errors:

Help with iWeb 09 and ftp publishing please?

I'm using iWeb09 and when I publish my website via ftp, the address it publishes to is my web address, followed by / and the name I gave the website on iWeb. So its not showing on my actual website. When I go to visit the website via the successfully published screen, the message I get is the requested url is not found on this server. Any help please?

Make sure you entered the correct URL in the Publishing Settings page and that you have left the Directory/Path field blank as shown on the first example on this page...

Need help with x1 tv and no sound

I have recently switched to x1platform tv for my 3 hd lcd tvs. Two work fine, but one is constantly having an issue. When I turn the tv on there is no sound. I have to turn off the tv and turn on several times. Sometimes I unplug the cable box and let it reset and then it seems to work again. I have read previously that this can be an issue. I have an lg lcd tv can you offer any suggestions?

I have no idea how to do any of that . If I change the hdmi to the other plug it may not work-I am going to cal comcast again and say it didnt work. It can't be my tv if I can get sound on it-it takes 4 times til the sound goes on but it does. I never thouht to switch the hdmi plug to another hdmi plug on tv-I am not a tec person-shouldn't the cable guy have done that? Here is what happens. I have no problem with sound at all just when I put the tv on -it doesn't go on right away nor does the tv-it takes a second or the hdmi to connect then no sound-I shut it off and on 3 tiimes and then goes on-if it were the tv it would never work. . What happend if I unplug the hdmi and put it in the other one? WIll the cable box have to restart. I am a typical female with no tech skills. Thanks

Help with URL Parameters and HTML DataSet please.

Hello everybody!
Looking at the example page: "Using URL Parameters to Control Data Regions", towards the bottom it gives an example of "Set by Product Name", from an XML DataSet using the following sample code:
    //Data set for the second example. var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../demos/products/products.xml", "products/product");    //If the URL parameter 'product' has a value, set the XPath that includes a filter and then load the data. if (params.product){    ds2.setXPath("products/product[name = '"+params.product+"']");    ds2.loadData(); }
Can anyone please explain how to amend this to work with a HTML Dataset rather than XML?
The first example on the page (Set by RowID) works unchanged for the HTML DataSet, but I don't know what I should replace the 'setXPath' line with.
I see this has been asked before, but I'm afraid I can't find any answer that works (or, more often, that I can understand properly!)
Grateful for any suggestions.
Len

Wow! Thanks Ben.
I hadn't thought about using Stacked Containers.
I'll test this out tonight and let you know how I get on.
Cheers,
Len
A few days later and at last I've been able to test your suggestions.
I think I must be doing something wrong as the links and content don't work at all:
http://www.myosanthe-bernhard-huber.com/html/stack1.php
I know that the stacked containers do work (http://www.myosanthe-bernhard-huber.com/html/stack0.php), so I guess there are some errors in the coding somewhere.
Would you mind reviewing, please?
The important thing for me (in this case, anyway) is to get the called page's content using its 'Ref', and I'm not sure what benefit there is in using stacked containers as opposed to master-detail containers.
The master-detail method works reasonably well for me at
http://www.myosanthe-bernhard-huber.com/html/fotoalbum.php and sub-pages.
Perhaps I am betraying my lack of knowledge, but as I said in my original post, I think that I just need the HTMLDataSet equivalent to:
    //Data set for the second example.
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../../demos/products/products.xml", "products/product");
   //If the URL parameter 'product' has a value, set the XPath that includes a filter and then load the data.
if (params.product){
   ds2.setXPath("products/product[name = '"+params.product+"']");
   ds2.loadData();
which as you can see uses an XMLDataSet, but does exactly what I need.
(see http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DataWithURLParams.html)
Thanks again for your help, Ben.

Help with autoplay mode and the controller

i kno this is probably something really simple, but i can't
seem to figure out how to change the delay timing for each
individual slide in autoplay mode. i figured out how to change the
delay of the controller, but there's only one place to change the
number and it effects all the slides. i want to be able to adjust
each slide for a different time delay. i've searched everywhere in
flash help mode and all i've found is how to change the autoplay
delay that changes all the slides at once. there's nothing about
changing each one individually.
anyone know how i can do this?
thanks!

What I have done is take the images from the Phot Slideshow
and placed them
in a Slide Presentation and then added the code that I
suggested. I
maintained the frame 1 code that enables the forward and back
buttons.
On each slide, you can chage the time delay after which the
slide advances.
Just change the variable "delay" in the on (reveal)
I think its the sort of action your after. You can download

Help with instantiating objects and validating them please

Hello,
im working on an assigment where i have to make a milk tank object that simulates a Milk tanker (one of those things that carrys milk :P)
It has a specific constructor that you can pass the volume and capacity to it. I was wondering how i could validate this and make it so the object doesnt instantiate and maybe return an error message if the volume of milk exceeds the capacity of the milk tanker?
basically i just want to make sure an object is valid while it instantiates, otherwise bomb out and return an error..
Thank you,
Phill
PS: im still learning java so some stuff might be over my head, but ive got a book next to me to help me understand :) (yes, ive checked and i cant find anything on this subject)

public MilkTanker(int volume, int capacity) throws
InvalidArgumentException
if (volume > capacity)
throw new InvalidArgumentException("Volume can't be greater than >capacity");
this.volume = volume;
this.capacity = capacity
}This means that while trying to create a new object of this class you need to handle a possible exception:
public static void main (String [] args){
   try {
      MilkTanker tank = new MilkTanker(100, 1000);
   catch (InvalidArgumentException _){
      System.err.println(_.getMessage());
}In the case that an exception is thrown the object of this class will not be created and every line of code you might have after the constructor call (inside the try clause) will not be executed.
Hope that helped

Help with Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse please!

Hello. I own the wireless Mighty Mouse as well as the wireless keyboard for Mac, and while ago I set them up to work on my Mac, but I don't use them very much so I want to give them to my parents for their Mac. The thing is, I forgot how to set it up or install it or whatever. Can anyone tell me how to get the wireless mouse and keyboard to work, or what the install process is for them? Was there a CD that came with them that I need to install drivers with or something? Anyways, I have the mouse and keyboard sitting up here next to this computer, and I've turned them on with the switches on the back, but they're not working. What do I do next? Thank you!

Solution
Turn your Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse off for 30 seconds, then back on.
If the keyboard or mouse doesn't respond, or if an alert message appears again:
Connect a USB keyboard or mouse.
Open Bluetooth preferences (choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, then click Bluetooth).
Verify that Bluetooth is turned on. (You can also do this with the Bluetooth menu bar item, if enabled).
Pair the keyboard or mouse by setting it up as a new device.

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface.

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.

Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode...

Hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense.

hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense. I also found online that you need Apple Mpeg-2 playback component in order to use mpeg streamclip. Even though I have OS X Lion, should I download the add-on?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
