How important is the AVCHD file structure, anyway?

Hola everyone!
When I archived the first ~200 videos from my new hd camera (canon hf10), I was unaware that I had to archive the file structure too. So I have tons of files mts that I want to work with in FCE4. Voltaic seems way too buggy (I'm running new macbookpro w/ 4 gb of ram and a speedy dual core)...and I tried VideoPierHD (the demo version). VideoPier seems promising...but after exporting for FCE and importing into FCE, FinalCutExpress, it says" the following media files are not optimized for FCE. It is highly recommended that you recapture the media to create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multistreamed playback."
What does that mean?
And, is there software that can automatically "rebuild" my folder structure for me if I do need it? FCE works well for all of my other movies that have been archived, but that first 200 or so would be nice to work with.... Thanks for your time!

So...it took some time ( a few hours for ~30 GB) but I figured out how to rebuild the folder structure for my Canon HF10 WITHOUT buying any new software....
I loaded up windows in Fusion and installed the Pixela Imagemaker software. I added my files to Imagemaker's library and then selected them to be written back to the camera. Imagemaker rebuilt the file structure in such a way that FCE imported the files with no problems whatsoever! I was ambitious at first and attempted to copy all 228 files at one time....the software just kept hanging... I found a happy medium to be about 8 gb a time to copy back to the camera.
So, for all of those who ran into the same problem, I sincerely hope that this helps out!
Blessings,
Donny

How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

What camera is this from? Make sure it is actual AVCHD and not some variant such as AVCHD Lite which is not supported.
Also, try this: In the Log and Transfer Pane, click on the Gear icon do set the preferences and set the Import
Preferences > AVCHD Plugin > AC3 Audio to Plain Stereo.
You can also download a trial version of Clipwrap and see if by converting the files to AIC with that software, then importing the files to FCE you have better luck.

TS4293 How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files importet by iPhoto?

My iMovie 11 shows the videos from my iPhone importet by iPhoto, but not all the videos importet the same way from my camera. It works fine with the videos recorded in MP4 but not at all with the AVCHD. How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files? iPhoto imports and shows the AVCHD fine. Also I could import the AVCHD files with iMovie but then they would be twice on my computer and use a lot of space.
thanks for your help

Right now, iMovie won't edit AVCHD wrapped files. You have a few options:
1. Import the videos with iMovie. Afterwards, you may add the imported movies to iPhoto if you want.
2. Import the videos with another app. (Too numerous to mention.)
3. Convert the videos with a third-party tool.
4. Wait for a future version of iMovie that adds this capability.

Hi Vijay,
You can try this piece of code too:
Properties props = new Properties();
//try retrieve data from file
//catch exception in case properties file does not exist
try {
         props.load(new FileInputStream("c:\property\Test.properties")); //File location
         String serverName = props.getProperty("servername"); //Similarly, you can access the other properties
         if(serverName==null)
           //....do appropriate handling
     }     catch(IOException e)
               e.printStackTrace();

AVCHD File Structure From MAC to PC

Hello,
I know this is sort of off topic but I need the expertise of this forum....
I am the videographer (mac user) for a speaking group and have to film speeches 5-7 minutes in length each week. The problem is how to get the videos to each person without processing on my Mac and uploading to youtube so they can see them.
I am Using a Canon HF10 and wonder if I could pop out the memory card from the camera put it in a card reader attached to a person's PC and transfer the files that way. I know that I would copy the entire file structure to their computer. I assume the PC person would have to have something that could work with the AVCHD files but I don't know what is on a PC computer these days. The other dilemma is that the speakers HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPUTER skills.
Anyone have any ideas how to get the video to a viewable state without going through FCE.
thanks,
Al

I agree with Martin and might add that I was in a similar project late last year with several folks who certainly weren't as computer savvy as myself, and YouTube turned out to be the solution. That way I didn't have to deal with the perennial "I couldn't open it" comments you WILL receive. Everyone was able to view YouTube.
You might try uploading to Vimeo - I think you can actually upload .MTS files directly to their site, if you want to just post your raw footage. You could just get the files in the Finder directly from the file structure on the HF10, copy them to your Mac and upload from there. (I haven't tried this, but Vimeo's site says they accept .MTS files, which is what the HF10 videos will be, in the "STREAM" subfolder)
The downside is that their free account maxes out at 500MB of uploads per week. That may be enough for you but I don't know. If you pay, the limit is quite a bit higher.

How to break the PDF file into images?

How to break the PDF file into images? There should be settings in Photoshop CS 6 that imports PDF file and break it into images. I have a short instruction:
2.    Open the file in Photoshop.
3.    A new window should open to Import PDF. Click on images, not pages import pdf into Photoshop.doc
4.    Select all the files shown (shift + click), Click O.K. Four files should open on your screen.
Was anybody successful with that?

Whether this is available solely depends on the structure of the PDF and whether it actually contains whole images that can be extracted separately. Depending on whatgoing on in the PDF this may simply not be the case and the images have been tiled and split up in multiple "objects" whose appearance can only be retained by rasrerizing the whole page...

Recreating Original AVCHD file Structure

Hi
I have a few folders on my mac containing only MTS files
Is it possible to recreate the original file structure of the Memory Stick (my cam's a Sony) ? That means rather than having only MTS files i'd like to get again the "AVCHD --BDMV--CLIP & STREAM...." structure
That way i could reimport them easier into imovie rather than convert each file separately with a 3rd party software
I guess i have to upload them again on my cam ? How should i do this ? Is there another way ?
Thanks

How to extract the cobol files into owb

Hi
How to extract the cobol files in owb,I am using OWB9.2.
Ex:I am having 2 records DCEC4000100 9159000050C those values are 5 bytes 'RAVI and 6 bytes '15000'.
Using contorl file i am trying to load these into Oracle,But i am not able into insert these records into Oracle.
Can any tell me how to handle this kind of situation?
Regards,
Rupak

Good morning Ashok,
Your data is in a SQL*Loader supported datatype, so basically it should not be a problem.
Have you checked the Database Utilities guide (for Oracle9i for instance: http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse/oracle/server.920/a96652/toc.htm) on how to handle this?
I'll also repeat my previous question, have you ever been able to load data into the database using SQL*Loader (either using ASCII values or any other datatype)?
For the OWB part, have you read "Importing Data Definitions" (typically chapter 4)? More specifically, "Specifying Field Properties" in "About Flat File Sources and Targets"?
In "SQL*Loader Properties" it says the following:
Type Describes the data type of the field for the SQL*Loader. You can use the Flat
File Sample Wizard to import the following data types: CHAR, DATE, DECIMAL
EXTERNAL, FLOAT EXTERNAL, INTEGER EXTERNAL, ZONED , AND ZONED
EXTERNAL. For complete information on SQL*Loader field and data types, refer to
Oracle9i Utilities. Currently, only portable datatypes are supported.
If you check the database utitlities guide (chapter 6 Field List Reference) and look for "SQL*Loader Datatypes", you'll find (packed) decimal under the Nonportable Datatypes. This implies that OWB does not support it.
This does not mean you can't use SQL*Loader, you'll only have to define everything separate from OWB and call it separately as well.
Good luck, Patrick

How to get the .class file for the extended Controller .java file

Hi,
I did the below steps.
1. Created New OAWorkspace
2. Created New project
3. Imported the page .xml file
4. Added new .java file by extending the controller class
5. Added code in the .java file.
6. Ran the .xml file
As I copied all the folders from Unix box, the page was opened.
But My question was where can I see the .class file the extended controller. It's a .java file. How to compile and get the .class file for this .java file. If I get this .class file, I can go to the page and click the personlize page. and change the Controller name to the new path by ftp ing the new class to the cust.oracle.apps.pos.changeorder.webiui.
Please let me know how to create the .class file.
Thanks,
HP

All are Java files are stored in JDEV_INSTALL_DIR:\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects\
In your case the path java would be
JDEV_INSTALL_DIR:\jdevhome\jdev\ myprojects \cust\oracle\apps\pos\changeorder\webui\
AND
Once you compile the java file in Jdeveloper, Class files get generated @ below path
In your case the path of class would be
JDEV_INSTALL_DIR:\jdevhome\jdev\ myclasses \cust\oracle\apps\pos\changeorder\webui\

That can be done in OBIEE. Save the flat file as .csv format. Then go to ODBC Administrator on windows machine where you BI server is running, and create an System DSN and select "Microsft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)" as driver type.
Next, import tables in RPD using this ODBC connection. Rest of the steps as same as building model from a table source.
Hope this helps.

How to recompile the COBOL files?

Hi All,
Can any one provide documentation for how to recompile the COBOL files by using Net Express 5.1 in command prompt?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Siva Prasad B

1. Set up two environment variables, PS_HOME and COBROOT, on the machine from which you'll compile COBOL. (This should be either your file server or a machine that has access to your file server.) You can do this from a DOS command prompt window.
set PS_HOME=C:\hr840
set COBROOT=c:\netexpress\base
2. Open a DOS command prompt window if you do not have one open already, and change directories to
<PS_HOME>\Setup.
3. Execute CBLBLD.BAT as follows
cblbld <compile drive> <compile directory>
where <compile drive> is the drive where the compile takes place, <compile directory> is the temp
directory where the compile takes place
The CBLBLD.BAT file will create the compile directory for you if it does not already exist.
Note. Make sure to include a space between the <compile drive> and <compile directory> parameters; they are treated as two different parameters within the CBLBLD.BAT batch program. Also ensure that you have write permission to <compile drive> and <compile directory> as the compile process will take place there.
For example, the following command will take the COBOL source from <PS_HOME>\src\cbl and do the compile process under c:\temp\compile:
cblbld c: \temp\compile
Make note of the information that is displayed on the screen while the process is running; it provides the locations of important files that you will need to examine.
