How to tell if a movie is a reference after the fact and components issue..

Hello,
I am unsure if a quicktime movie I made is self-contained or a reference movie. It is not playing and I was told I need components to play it (though I am not sure which ones) .... but what got me thinking is I looked at the data size in the inspector window and it says 20 gb and the file size says 2 gb. Is there a way to know if it's a ref movie or self-contained?
This will solve my first question, and of course my next is how do I get it to play? What do I need to install? How do I know what components are needed? It was exported as a DVCPRO HD 720p60. I have quicktime Pro - I think it's version 7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that the movie is self-contained...I am seeing (in the properties window, resources tab) the original movie pointing to one .mov file and ten .mov1-10 files underneath. Does that sound self-contained?
No, afraid not. When I said "the file will point to itself," I meant the resource will be the same as the open file's physical location on your hard drive. If it is pointing to other files with different names/locations or to a URL on the internet, then it is a reference file.
I don't have FCP on my system. Do you know what components for QT I need to install to playback the DVCPro HD movie? Is it possible to play such a file w/out having FCP?
Sorry my answer was so vague. QT Kirk has already "nailed" the answer for you. You have to install the FCP application. This application will install an entire set of encoding and decoding "DVCPROHD" components. Since your system does not have FCP installed, you should ask whoever provided these files to either transcode the files to AIC/AIFF for editing on a non-FCP system or export their FCP completed project to a common distribution/delivery format like H.264/AAC.

  • When I import a CD album that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once with all of the songs with the main artist only, and then one album for each song with a different co-artist.  How can I avoid that or fix that result after the fact.

    When I import a CD ablum that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once under the album name with all the songs from the main artist; then each song with a different co-artist is saved separately under the album title with just that song.  Who do I prevent that or fix it after the fact, i.e., copy the single songs to the main album?

    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468

    Hello there, kojak100.
    The following Knowledge Base article goes over how to sync content to your iPad:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    This section may prove useful:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcasts tab will not appear.
    You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, movies under the Movies tab.
    To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    The ATV should then see your computer as long as you enter the same id on both machines.

    PLz tell me why! How to deal with it !

    Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

  • I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%.  How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

    I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%.  How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

    The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%.  This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
    Regualr occurence for me.
    Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month.  Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it.  Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.

    After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail.  I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails.  However, all of my historical e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

    What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

    Barry
