How do I convert an Encore project to an iTunes or Android app?

I've got a rather complex video project with lots of submenus (that works as a DVD - so it is "debugged") that I need to be able to export from Encore into an app to upload on the iTunes store and Android Market. So far, I've managed to export the project via Encore's Flash output and test the results using a web browser (it works).
Everything got saved in a new folder structure with an index.html file pointing to a flashdvd.swf file pointing to a AuthoredContent.xml file that actually holds all the information on the file structure (there are 99 files totalling over 200 megabytes at the lowest resolution in the Sources subfolder) and uses a Theme.xml file to generate a background.
So I need to somehow convert this "stuff" into something that can be uploaded to the appropriate store. I stumbled upon Jeanette Stalions tutorials on using Flash Builder for this purpose, but can't even figure out how to open the Encore output in some meaningful way using Flash Builder so I can get started. (yes the swf file can be opened but that doesn't seem to have any particular value since all it does is point to the xml files.)
1. I've got Flash Builder 4.5 - do I need to upgrade to 4.7 in order to import the project or can this be done in 4.5?
2. Is there some intermediate step that I'm missing? Do I need to do something in Flash Pro first?
3. Will Flash Builder be able to repackage all these files into the file specs required by each target platform (I'm assuming it will - is that a valid assumption)?
And moving downstream a bit...
4. Since this is a video based project with over 200 megabytes of F4V content, how will the content arrive on the end user device? Will it have to be streamed or can it be downloaded? - this is a big issue should the app become popular and we be forced to maintain a streaming server somewhere. What about server sizing in such an event? For example: is there a way to estimate how much bandwidth is required per 1,000 instances?
<moved by mod from flash pro cc forum - kglad>

Ok, so I opened Flash Builder, created a new project and after a lot of trial & error was able to bring in all the files from the Encore output using import/general/file_system in one chunk. That at least gets me to something that might have a future!
As to question 1 above: Many of the articles I've found in the Developer Center refer to various versions of tools: Flex, Flex Builder (now called Flash Builder), Flex SDK, Spark, ActionScript and Flash Catalyst. The products seem to have undergone quite a few transformations and specific processes like roundtripping between Catalyst & Flash Builder are now obsolete since Catalyst is now a dead product. So does this mean that all (or many) of these confusing tools are now united in Flash Builder 4.7?
And this begs the question "how does a newcomer get started building an AIR app without having to learn the entire history of Flash and it's evolution from simple display of vector graphics to a Swiss Army knife environment?"

How can I convert a Flare project to RoboHelp HTML 10?

In my company, we work in RoboHelp HTML 10. We aquired a company that uses Flare for their online help project, and now it falls to me to convert it to RoboHelp. I searched online and found the converter on the Show Me The Demo site, but the download button doesn't do anything.
Is that converter posted anywhere else? Or is there another method of converting from Flare to RoboHelp? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi folks, sorry for the glitch in the download for the Flare to Robohelp Project Converter. I have been traveling and teaching and did not notice this post.
Until I fix the link, please email me using the address in my Profile and I will send it via an email attachment right away.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

How do you Convert an HD project/sequence to SD?

The Project: FCP5, HD
Goal:Convert The Project (cut sequence) into SD and bunr a disk using using DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks for guidance and clarity.
[this question cross posted in DVD Studio Pro forum]

Sure (loosing pixels left and right of course). After proceeding as above reload the sequence into the viewer (select it in the timeline and hit "return" on the keyboard - do NOT double-click, as this will bring you back into the HDV sequence) and modify the "Scale" parameter in the "Motion" tab.
Cheers,
Uwe

How do I convert an war file to ear file, deploying weblogic apps

Problem Description: I have a war file from a legacy application that needs to be migrated to weblogic. To migrate this application to weblogic, we need a ear file. Reading weblogic doc. it says we needs to use ant utility on an exploded web content application folder/ directory to create the ear file. I need to covert the existing war file to ear file , if it is doable or create one from the scratch. I need to know how to do that in weblogic. Please let me know if you have any hints .
Thanks

HI,
Please try the following to convert your WAR file into an EAR exploded archieve:
*1).* Create a Directory in your file system.
Example:
/home/apps/MyFirstEAR
*2).* Place the WAR file inside the above Directory. (Suppose your WAR file name is test.war)
Example:
/home/apps/MyFirstEAR/test.war
*3).* Now create a "META-INF" directory inside "/home/apps/MyFirstEAR" directory
*4).* Now create an "application.xml" file like following inside "/home/apps/MyFirstEAR/META-INF" directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.4">
<description>Test EAR Example</description>
<display-name>TestEAR Example</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>test.war</web-uri>
<context-root>test</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
*5).* Your EAR is ready now you can deploy the "MyFirstEAR" directory in the WebLogic Server.
NOTE: if you want to place the "test.war" file also as an exploaded format content inside the EAR then you need to extract the test.war file and then in place of the test.war you can have "test" directory at the same place.
You need to change the "application.xml" file like below in that case:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.4">
<description>Test EAR Example</description>
<display-name>TestEAR Example</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<font color=red> <web-uri>test</web-uri> </font><br>
<context-root>test</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
For more information on an EAR application structure you can refer to : http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=1952
Thanks

How do i convert my microsoft zune library to itunes?

I presently have thousands of songs on my Zune player and would like to bring them over to my MacPro. Is there an easy way to convert all the files?

It might have helped if you mentioned what format the music is currently in.
If they in MP3 format, then no conversion is required, since iTunes (and iPods) can play MP3s.
What you may need to do is turn on the top bar menu in your iTunes. For some strange reason, although you have a MacPro, you've put your question in the iTunes for Windows forum, and in Windows, the shortcut to turn this feature on is CTRL+B. So if CMD+B doesn't show the menu bar, click on that tiny icon in the top left corner of the iTunes window and select Show Menu Bar.
From that menu bar, select File/Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder (or folders) with your music.
iTunes can also play other formats, as can the iPods. Whether you find them suitable or not, I don't know.

How do you convert odm files to mp3 using itunes?

I am trying to download audio books from my public library and then install them on my mp3 player. the file format is odm.
What is the process for doing this and what software is required?

ODM files checked out from a library usually are copy-protected and cannot be converted, by iTunes or any other software. If so, they can only be played in a device that can run Overdrive's software. You'll need to consult with your library and possibly with Overdrive to learn if there are any options that would allow the audiobook to be played on a standard MP3 player.
Regards.

How can I cancel a document printed using the HP ePrint android app

I sent a print job to a UPS store by accident. I went to the place to collect my document but I was told that they didn't receive anything. In fact, they were not connected to the cloud. The document has some sensitive information. Where can I go to cancel or delete the print queue?

Hey iateabug,
Please log into your ePrintCenter account to see if the print job is still in a 'Pending' state. If the job has already processed and is no longer pending, then there will not be a way to retrieve this information back and stop the job. If the job is still in a pending state, then please click Cancel to stop the job.
Hope this helps,
Jason

How do I get my iPad single edition articles into my android App?

Hi,
I'm in troubles getting an android version of my reader app up and running.
I have an iPad app (1024x768) that works well.
It is published as a single edition app with my Creative Cloud account.
Now I wanted to release an Android version.
That's what I did:
-I tried my iPad app with the android content viewer on my device (nexus 7): it scaled down but it was okay
-I bought a Professional edition.
-I created a multi edition app container with the DPS App Builder
- The DPS App Builder did not accept my Adobe ID, but required an application ID which I created.
-I created the apk file and copied it to my device (Nexus 7)
-I opened the app on the device - it was empty.
-I shared the folio of my iPad app from my main adobe id to the new application ID, then I copied it with my application ID in the folio producer organizer to a new folio and uploaded some articles again. But the app on the device remained empty.
-I made a brand new folio and imported a new article . Butmy android app remained empty
What do I have to do to see folios in my android app?
Thanks you
Hans

It sounds like you need to publish the folio as Public. Only public published folios appear in a custom viewer app.

How to convert my NTSC project to PAL?

Hi! I'd like know how i can convert my ntsc project into PAL.
I need finish a DVD for my client take to ANGOLA and there is PAL system.It is possible? My Encore is 2.0.
Or It is possible put my NTSC movie into PAL project and let encore transcode the movie? Thank you very much and sorry my english.

You have several options.
1 - Create a new PAL project in Premiere Pro. Capture your footage in the usual manner, and as soon as it is in the project, hit the ENTER key to render it.
2 - Create an NTSC project in Premiere Pro, capture to NTSC DV footage, and export it out again.
Close project.
Create new PAL project, import the NTSC clip & then interpret/conform the footage to the project settings.
3 - Set up an NTSC project, capture footage, export to PAL DV or MPEG-2 from Premiere.
4 - Use TMPGEnc Xpress 4 - it's standards conversion is very good.
5 - Use ProCoder, as Ruud suggests
6 - Use CCE SP if you have it.
I'd try as many different ways as you can, and view the lot to see what looks the best.

HT1766 I want to put the songs from my MP3 onto my new phone but it just shows all my songs with an exclamation point. How do I convert my songs to work with my iTunes?

I want to put the songs from my mp3 onto my iPhone but everytime I go to do it it shows exclamation points next to my songs. How do I convert them to work with my iTunes and phone?

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use myFindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Hi Srini
1. Copy/Paste Webdynpro components in the new project as was suggested before
2. Or create new project, copy _comp folder from old project to the new one. But, do not forget to update .dcdef & .project files manually after this. You have to set the correct project name in .dcdef and set the correct local project path in .project.

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.
