Help with Sony ACDVHD importing

Hi - I'm sure someone's figured this out but....imovie 09 doesn't allow import of my video from my Sony HDR CX500v - I can see the video in the .mts files in the stream folder, but they're grayed out. And when I try to import using the camera, all I get is my iSight camera - so someone please tell me, what am I doing wrong?

I just installed iLife '09 this afternoon. I was able to connect my Sony CX100 and look at various clips on it via iMovie with no problem. I'm wondering if you have updated your software. I believe that Apple adds support for newer camcorders when creating iMovie updates. I think you can do this by clicking on the Apple menu and selecting Software Update... If you haven't tried to update iMovie since you installed it then perhaps see if updating will solve your connectivity problem. Also, are you running Snow Leopard or an earlier version of OS X? I got iLife '09 when I bought the Snow Leopard Box Set. I've noticed that Snow Leopard seems to do a much better job of previewing .mts files than what was possible with Tiger, the version I was using up until a month or two ago.
Good luck getting this to work.

Help with Flash Video Import

I was hoping to get some help with something that is frustrating me.
I have an .fla file with two frames. In the first frame I need a movie (.flv). When the movie ends I need to progress to the next frame on the time line.
I have converted the original .mov to an .flv and imported it into my file as an external viseo w/playback component and no skin. It is now in my library as FLVPlayback and I have given it an instance name of 'goFrame'. Its contentPath is the name of my .flv file (P1010472.flv)
So I put the FLVPlayback onto my first frame and I put a stop() in the actions for the frame; and I have text on the second frame, also with a stop to see when the frame has advanced.
I found this code:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
        _root.gotoAndPlay(2);
myMedia.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);
I was under the impression I put this code in the actions for the frame that has the video component (the first frame)
I replaced 'myMedia' with 'goFrame' which is the instance name I gave my FLVPlayback but what is the listener object? This is the code I now have on the first frame actions:
stop();
var FLVPlayback:Object = new Object();
FLVPlayback.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
        gotoAndPlay(2);
goFrame.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);
but it doesnt advance at the end of the video, it stop on frame 1 after playing the video.
I know I must name the 'listenerObject' and the 'myMedia' event listener but I must say I am simply confused what goes where. I may be a bit dense as I have been reading forums that are discussion this type of thing but cannot figure what name goes where in this code or if I am entering it correctly. It simply is not advancing.
can anyone give me a hint?
Chris

use:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
        _root.gotoAndPlay(2);
goFrame.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);

Help with script for "Import AD users from CSV with checks first"

Hi everyone.
Can anyone tell me if i am on the right track here?
I want to be able to provide a CSV with users and import into a new AD domain/forest. But i know there already are some AD accounts so i need to run some checks. For now i am checking only on Name and Email.
The issue i have is is with "write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user.". It outputs this 19 times which is the same amount of times as there are users in AD in this OU.
Not sure if my method is right.
$allImportedUsers=@()
$allUsersArray=@()
$searchbase="OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
$path = "OU=Users,OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
$allImportedUsers = Import-CSV polandusers_edited.csv
$allUsersArray = Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "objectClass=User" -SearchBase $searchbase -Properties * | select *
$allImportedUsers | ForEach-Object {
$Firstname = $_.givenname
$Lastname = $_.surname
$UserMail = $_.EmailAddress
$UserFullName = $Firstname+" "+$Lastname
$importUserSAM = $_.Samaccountname
$allUsersArray | ForEach-Object {
$currUserFirstname = $_.givenName
$currUserLastname = $_.sn
$currUserMail = $_.mail
$currUserFullName = $_.name
$currUserSAM = $_.samaccountname
$currUserDN = $_.DistinguishedName
if($currUserFullName -eq $UserFullName) {
write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on name"
$userMatched=1
if($currUserMail -eq $UserMail -AND $userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on email"
$userMatched=1
if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0
If only i had a cool signature!! ;)

Move below to outside the inner for-each loop:
if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0
so the bottom should look like
}if($userMatched -ne 1) {
write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
$userMatched=0

Help with Sony Digital Transfer System DLS-M1

I have recently moved into a home that is fully wired throughout with the Sony DLS-M1 system from the early 90s. Unfortunately, all that is connected to it is a tuner radio. The radio can be heard through the entire home which us great, so now I am trying to connect other audio to the system and am having no luck. I have been unable to get anything to play through the system despite having it hooked up to the master receiver. I see in the manual that if you are connecting a non-Sony product without an infrared remote to the receiver that it says it will not work. There has to be a work-around for this,right? I am just looking to connect something like an iPod to the system using a mini-to-RCA connection. It will come out of the local speakers fine, but nowhere else in the house. Please help, I can't find ANYTHING about this system anywhere online!

Sorry, I mean the rest of the legacy system. It is a few Sony components (tuner and a unit for video/surround), but most importantly the current transfer system connects to terminals all over the house that allow you to use speakers in that particular zone. They are little white receiver boxes that allow you to select an audio source from the main transfer and play that source on the speakers in that zone. I am worried that these boxes will not work with anything other than the current master unit, thus losing the current ability to play audio in different zones in the house. Is that the case or will the rest of the system work with the new master?

Help with maze program/importing txt

Hi everybody
im having a very hard time figuring out how to program a problem given to me. Im fairly new to java (im more of a c++ kinda guy but we must do this in java.. unfortunately) and the problem states this
Problem Description
you will write an application that searches a maze in order to help a trapped mouse find the hidden cheese. The maze can be represented using 4 symbols as follows: 1 represents a wall 0 represents space m represents the initial mouse position c represents the cheese position
The following is an example input maze:
111111111111
101000001001
1c0000100001
101111111111
100111100001
110111111001
110000000m11
111110111101
111111111111
Your application must search the maze, starting at the m position, and stops when it reaches the c position. Note that not all mazes have solutions. So, it must also stop if the maze has no solution.
For simplicity, you may assume the following: the maze is surrounded by 1?s the cheese (c position) can be found anywhere in the maze, except at the border (surrounding 1?s)
Programming
Write an application that inputs the maze from the user (Do NOT hardcode the maze in your program), and searches for the c position, starting from the m position.
Your application must print the updated maze, every time a new position is tried, until a solution is found, or the application discovers that a solution cannot be found.
Now so far hopefully my logic is correct. We are allowed to input a txt file with any given maze inside the txt file. However, the maze must be a maximum of 100 x 100 but can be any size under that.
Now first things first.. importing a txt
heres what i have so far
public static void main (String [] args){
Scanner mazefile;
try {
Scanner mazefile = new Scanner (new File("maze.txt")); //maze.txt being the txt file with the maze inside it
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Could not Open file");
return;
while (mazefile.hasNext());
String x = inf.nextLine();
System.out.print(x);
mazefile.close();
personally i think this is totally wrong...i cant seem to figure out where to put the bounded so that the maze is a max of 100 by 100 and what happens if the txt is like
1111111111111
111c111111111
1110111111111
111000m11111
will the scanner import it into java so its like this?!

Just use a 2D array of ints, no stack needed.
int maze[][];
int maze1[][]=new int[100][100];
try{
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("maze.txt")));
String str="";
int count=0,width=0;
while((str=reader.readLine())!=null){
    if(str.length()>100)error();
    if(str.length()>width)width=str.length();
    for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)maze1[count]=Integer.paseInt(""+str.charAt(i));
count++;
if(count>=100)error();
maze=new int[count][max];
for(int i=0;i<count;i++)for(int j=0;j<max;j++)maze[i][j]=maze1[i][j];
} catch(Exception ex){}

Need Help with Sony Hybrid replacement tips

Hey all,
First post here, so please excuse me if I've posted in the wrong section. Earlier this month I ordered myself the Sony Hybrid EPEX10A/BLK Replacement Earbuds from Amazon.com. While attempting to get a large tip on my Sennheiser CX500s, the colored part broke. I now only have one large tip, which is currently fitting the CX500 just fine. I really need another large tip, and I don't know what to do. I thought the best option would be to contact Sony Support and ask for a replacement (I'm assuming my warranty is still in effect, don't know anything), but I don't know how. I went to this (http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/contact-land.pl) website and selected technical support, and since I couldn't find my product in the list, I typed in what I thought was the model number, and it came up with no results. I have no idea where the model number is on the packaging (which I still have).
Can somebody please help me get a replacement? Other than the broken tip, these are the best tips I have had , and I would really like to continue using them.
Thanks for the help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Contact the Sony Parts and Accessories team - they have a different number to Sony Technical Support and should be able to locate the correct part for you - details on the following link:

Help with Sony Digital Camcorder DCR-SR42 Pulling Images FROM Camera to Mac

I need some help...I purchased a Sony DCR-SR42 camera and used it while on holiday. I can't seem to figure out what software I need to pull the movies from the camera. After MANY calls to Apple Tech support (and being told that I HAD to buy iLife 08, which I don't want to do if i can avoid it), I finally found somebody who said that I could use freeware MPEG Stream Clip to pull the videos from my camera and convert to MPEG4, then I can use iMovie HD 06. All this is with the assumption my computer recognizes my camera as a harddrive (which I'm not sure, and I'm at work without computer OR camera).
My question is this - does anybody have any experience with THIS camera (Sony DCR-S42) and what to do with iMovie 06?? Any and ALL suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!
-Jill

Yes, only iMovie 8 will accept a video stream from a hard disk camera.
All other versions of iMovie will not: they require a DV stream from tape via firewire.
In other words, your camera is incompatible will all versions of iMovie except version 8.
To convert to mpeg4, or even DV which is what iMovie is intended for, you need:
mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

which costs $25.

Need help with automating text import/pasting/macro between Photoshop and Excel

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a large project now that seems extremely daunting, but I was hoping there would be some way to automate it using either Actions or some sort of macro program. Here's the gist:
I've created a template with 24 differently sized text boxes in the photoshop image file. Each text feild has unique text that needs to be be pasted into it, which has been compiled in excel. This wouldn't be too dificult to do, except I have to recreate this image and all 24 text fields aproximately 350 times. None of the text boxes will remain static through all 350 images as text is the title, description, and demographic ratings/percentages/data for the topic of each image. I did something similar manually last year and it took me about 3, non-stop 18 hour days to complete it.
(the test template)
Can anyone think of any way I could automate this process? I'm thinking some sort of macro that copies cell 1 in excel, switches to photoshop, opens layer 1, pastes, switches back to excel, goes to cell 2, copies, back to photoshop, layer 2, pastes, etc, etc, then does a 'save as' in photoshop and revets to PS layer 1, EX cell 1 (on tab 2) to start the process all over again. I have no idea if this would work or if there is another way to do this but I would really appreciate any help or advice you guys could give. I don't have really any expreience using PS Actions or macro programs/scripts, so I may be over my head or overlooking a really simple way to do this. If there's a way to do it, I'm persistent enough to figure it out and get it working. Doesn't really matter how it gets done, I just need to fill those text boxes as best as I can and as quickly as I can.
Any help you all could give is really appreciated.

Have you read up on the Variables support in Photoshop?

Help with Crop of Imported Images - Please!

If I crop a jpeg that I have imported from my camera, then apply a crop, the cropped image will fill the screen. However, if I import a jpeg from iPhoto or any other source (desktop, folder, etc.) and apply a crop, the cropped image will be small and does not fill the screen.
There must be some setting that will make the resultant view of a crop from an imported jpeg fill the screen similar to the behavior of a typical camera imported image. This is driving me nuts and I've spent hours trying to figure it out.
I realize the actual crop in either case is smaller, but I just want to view it as large as possible. There must be some hidden zoom control for imported images?
Please help!

Unless something is broken - doubtful - your images from "other sources" are too small to fill the screen from a dimension standpoint when they are cropped. What you are seeing is the cropped image at 100% view - meaning that's it that's all the pixels you've got.

Help with resizing and import a .psd file

I have a rather large logo that is a photoshop file. I am trying to scale it down in motion to use on a lower third. when I import the file it is large so I basically drag the handles to resize it. When it gets small the edges are very jagged and lok horrible. Is there something that motion needs to see from the .psd file for a clean import? I have also tried exporting the logo as a smaller file size and the resolution still looks horrible.

encoding is only for character data. It is not used for byte data.
ARQ requires message level transactions which is not supported in UDP. That is the whole point of TCP. It can bedone but you have to design a message accounting system. Performance is not an issue because Get-Content would usually rad the whole file
into a buffer and spit it out in pieces. The client would just feed the file to the transport layer so performance for reading the file is not an issue. THe buffer acquisition and design of message accounting is where all performance issues will show up.
In the past the file could be an issue on a large system with slow disks and limited user memory. We used stream readers because the system gave special attention to stream IO so it would be fast. Current systems are so fast and so highly buffered
that direct block read is actually more efficient. If you want to control memory footprint with scrolling then use memory mapped IO. In general, the Internet is till not fast enough to beat the modern computer so that is not usually necessary
Anyway, good luck with your project no matter what you decide to do. Remember that encoding is only when you want to translate character data between systems or locales. Unicode to ANSI, ANSI to UTF-8...

Requesting Help with Sony DCR-HC36 and Premier Elements 8

First and Foremost, I'm a complete amatuer with respect to video and I'm new to the forum.
That being said, I'm trying to capture video from my Sony MiniDV camera model # DCR-HC36 with Premiere Elements Version 8.
Everytime I go to File>Get Media>DV Camcorder, Premiere tells me there is no DV camera connected.
I'm using an HP PC running Win 7 Home 64bit. I installed a SIIG PCIe Firewire 800 card into the HP and am using the 4pin to 9pin Firewire cable.
The Firewire 800 card installed fine. I can see it in the Device Manager.
I also tested functionality of the Firewire card by connecting an External Firewire Hard drive. The HD worked perfectly.
Do I have to install some drivers for the camera itself? If so, does anyone know what they are and where best to get them? I checked Sony website and the available downloads are actual programs that I don't really want to mess with.
FYI, I hooked the camera up to a Macbook Pro, opened I movie and the Mac just about did all the work. (I know, I know, but please no comments about switching to a Mac.) lol.
So, I do know the camera Firewire port works fine.
I look forward to getting some tips from the forum users. Thank you in advance.

Device identification should be automatic, whether Firewire or USB - sadly though sometime it isn't.
One of my Sony devices (A100 DSLR) requires that the camera be switched before inserting the(for the A100) a USB cable or it is not recognised in the Organiser. It you have only been switching the camera on after connecting the cable you might try turning it on before.
From the specification your camera has both USB and Firewire connections. Have you tried the USB?
If the above doesn't work for you then you should probably install the Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software. It may install a driver for your camera.
Cheers,
Neale

Help with iMovie and importing HD camera

I have a Canon HD camera and can import it fine into iMovie. The problem is, I need the footage to be viewable and editable on a PC laptop and the .mov file only allows audio and not visual. Does anyone know if during import or after import if I can convert the file into something other than .mov?

Hi douremember:
Welcome to discussions!
The mytv.pvr uses MPEG-2 files which are not compatible with iMovie. They need to be converted to DV (didn't tell you that-did they..)
