How do change file format for videos to be compatible with iDVD?

My husband's uncle sent us several short files of video he took with his camera or cell phone, and I really want to burn them onto a DVD using iDVD. When I drag one of the files into the program, however, it says "your last action is not supported by iDVD." All the other videos in my iPhoto works, so I'm guessing it's the wrong type of file. Does anyone know how to change to file type so it's iDVD compatible? Right now the files are ".MOV." The one I have that are ".AVI" seem to work just fine. Any insight is appreciated!!
Thanks!

You need to convert those files to something iMovie can handle, like DV, before bringing them into iDVD.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:

which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :

You can't just generically go from one format to
another.
If you have specific set of acceptable image formats
and video formats you can sit down and plan how to do
it in Java.
There are many formats that you can convert using
Java but not all possible formats.can you give me any hint or code to do how to change media formats from one format to another

Change File Format For Existing Library Files? How?

Lightroom v5.3: I'm a long time DNG file user for Pentax and Nikon cameras. I recently discovered that about 300 of my RAW Nikon files already imported into the Library are NEF files instead of DNG files as my other 5700 files are.
I know that I made an error somewhere along the way, but- Is there an easy solution to converting those existing NEF files to the DNG format?
I was thinking of renaming them, but..........somehow that seems too easy.
Thanks for any wisdom you can send my way.

Thank You, John. That menu command went right by me when I searching the best way how to do this task.
Appreciate your help.

How to change file format?

i opened a classpath file with IE and selected the "always open with" option. from then it is showing the IE symbol for classpath file. how to change this for original format.? please tell me..

It's also nothing to do with file formats. File extensions may hint at format, but that's about itTrue, but that is what windows uses to determine the program to use to "open" it, which is all he wants (at least as far as I was able to determine from his question). The file itself is a simple text file.
Edit: Also, seemingly under Vista there is no way to change that starting from "folder options", you have to come at it from a different direction (but I don't know from where, only that I no longer find the option under "folder options" anywhere).

How to change date format for prentation variable

Hi experts
In my prompt the date format is MM/DD/YYYY . I have created one presentation variable for that but i want to use this in Formula as well in Title as: DD-MON-YY
So how can i achieve it..
Thanks in advance

Hi
i think this can't be done through any code like oracle uses to_char, to_date function.
Just follow this
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dates-dates-and-dates/
With this, wherever you have this column, you will be getting this format dates..
if you don't want in reports you can change it by mentioning the data format for that paricular column in report, but for the same column, if you want different format at different places (for prompts), you can't do that..

How to change date format for FM ?

Experts !
i am trying to use FM DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT. for this FM the input date formate is mmddyyyy
but my variable returns in yyyymmdd. bcoz of that my FM doesnt understand the input date.
how do i do this? i am very poor in abap skills so will not do too much of codeing to convert.
thanks

Thanks Gharu !
I do get the correct formate using your code. but the problem if i debug my code goes till the FM and then it kicks it out. i dont know why.
The data type what you have define in your code is not what i have in my code. is it bcoz of that.
In your code..l_date type sydatum
in my code ...l_date like sydatum <-----Do you think i sould make it type ?
Also, in your code ..
l_olddate(8) type c,
l_newdate(8) type c,
while in my code..
l_olddate LIKE sy-datum
l_newdate LIKE sy-datum
Do u think i should change data type ?
If yes , then it will be big change for me. can you make it according to my DATA TYPE ?
thanks..i am waiting....

How to change file names for .icc profiles in CS4?

I recently downloaded several photo paper profiles to my Mac (OS 10.5.8) and installed them in the Library > ColorSync > Profiles folder. I edited the rather cryptic file names slightly so I could better determine which paper each profile was for.
But when I check the drop-down list of profiles available in the Print dialogue for CS4, the file names are still the original ones that were initially downloaded. I rebooted my OS and relaunched PS, but no change.
Are these .icc files being kept somewhere else on my System HD by PS? Is this not a good thing to even try doing, or can I just change the .icc file names in the location that PS is accessing them? Thanks.

Thanks Chris and c. Under Description I'm presented with three Names for the profile: ASCII, UniCode and Mac Script. ASCII and Mac Script are the same name for the profile, with nothing being in the UniCode Name box. Which do I change -- both?
Am I going to screw things up in Photoshop if I change these names to something I can comprehend? Looks like I may just have to make a sticky-note list of the cryptic profile names with my own descriptive name as a reference. Thanks.

Changing file format for images

To save on memory, my boss wants me to change my images from bitmaps to png files. Should I go imto the project folder and open each file and re-save it, then make sure the link has the right extension. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Hi all... Simple Simon here...
I'm wondering if we are suggesting using a 500 Megaton Nuclear Warhead to get rid of the fly on the wall.
Don't get me wrong here, Scripting is great and it's amazing with what it can do and I always appreciate seeing posts from Praful that address issues. I think that's wonderful. I really do.
But why isn't this as simple as using the Multi-file find and replace tool to locate .BMP inside the files and replace it with .PNG?
Am I missing something? I must be.
Cheers... Rick

SapScript: How to change write format for Unit Price

Hi Experts,
I have created a sapscript form in English and Japan language.
In the Japan form, the unit price and quantity are being display as 123,456.78.
but in English form, the unit price and quantity are being displayed as 123.456,78.
I am also using a custom program for my logic but when the English form is used, when i write netwr field in a character field,
it is defaulted as 123.456,78 even inside the program. How can I changed this to 123,456.78?
My user data default for value display is 123,456.78.
The print program for the form is a standard program used for PO (ME2*N) printing.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Breakpoint,
My user data default for value display is 123,456.78 already but when using English form it is not display as such.

How to change startup disk for a 2012 Mac mini with dual HDD and clean installed with Windows 8.1?

Hi,
I have a Mac-mini (late 2012 model), originally with Mac OS X Maverick Server installed (with two HDD). Recently, I had clean installed Windows 8.1 on one of the HDD (worked perfectly, just slow) and swapped the other HDD (with Mac OSX) with a SSD. I then cloned the Windows OS HDD in to the new SSD. Now I am trying to boot this Mac mini from this SSD, however, since this Mac mini do not have BIOS for me to change the boot sequence at the startup, is there any one can help?
Thank you,
Liusc

If you boot with the Option key depressed what boot options are shown?
Also:
Restart your computer
After Windows is installed, you can switch between OS X and Windows. Use the Startup Disk preference pane in OS X, or the Boot Camp system tray item in Windows to select your startup disk, then restart your computer

How do I change the default file format for saving files in Preview

I often take screen clips and save them as files to my desktop, then upload them to my website or include them in emails. The default file format for Preview seems to be TIFF, but I'd prefer jpg. How do I convince Preview to use jpg as the default file format?
TIA,
Thad

I should have been a little clearer...
If I'm emailing a screen-clip, I can just paste it right into the email, but I post on a lot of discussion boards and it's often nice to be able to include a screen shot in those. My preferred way to do that is to post the clip at my personal website and then put a link in the post. It gives me the ability to delete the image whenever I want (a plus for any security freak) and it works on every discussion board I know. Some boards allow attachments, some don't. Plus I don't want to have to remember different d/b file attachment procedures. Anyway, when I make a screen-clip, I need to temporarily save it (usually to my desktop), then ftp it to my website. I use Preview to do that. It's simple. But I'd like it to default to .jpg instead of .png or .tiff. (FWIW, I just tried it and the default was .png, but I swear I did something similar earlier that defaulted to .tiff when I first tried to save the newly-created file).
