How to work so I can re-build from backed-up AVCHD files if I need.

Trying a new title to see if anyone can help.
I'm recording on an AVCHD card, and have two ways of capturing this to FCP and backing up.
1) USB - Log and Transfer straight from the camera. Then copy the card contents to a spare usb drive for storage. (Been using this)
2) Copy the card to the usb drive first, then Log and Transfer from the USB drive. (Going to use this)
Both methods produce media and edit ok.
But in the process the files are renamed - twice. First by Log and Transfer, when they are given whatever names I choose in the dialgue box, and then they are often further refined in the browser as I name clips in more detail while cutting.
The card itself is, of course, then cleared to make room for more shots.
Now, this is my problem:
If I empty my FW scratch disc, as at some point I must, and then need to rebuild the project from the back-up usb drive, I have a problem.
If I try 'reconnect media', the name in the box is the one I gave the clip in the browser, but the name on the drive is still the one the camera generated. So when I 'locate' to the folder on the drive with the clips in, FCP just goes 'click.'
How do i recapture the media from the back-up usb drive? There should be a metadata link, but i don't know how to activate it.
In the old days we could re-digitise form tape (though I confess I can't remember the process now). Suely there is a way to rebuild the whole project, by telling FCP to go looking for the original source files onm the usb drive?
I've tried media manager, but nothing there that I can see.
I'm probably being dumb, but I'd appreciate some advice if anyone knows the answer.
I need to steer my workflow so that in future i can rebuild from back-up if I have to.
Thanks
Tom

Ah - I missed batch capture - thanks!.
The only problem is that it's only showing the media from a different project (the clips I captured today for a different programme, which is in a different folder on the same drive).
It's locked out so i can't navigate to the correct folder.
Hmm
No - wait - got it now!
It was looking for some tapes, of which there were none in the project, but it's seen the error of it's ways.
Many thanks!

    Welcome to the WD Community.
    1) I assume I can  just hook the unit up via USB to my Mac and use iPartiion to reformat the drives, assuming each of the 4T drives will be seen by iPartition as a separate drive. That much seems straighforward.
    Yes, and in case you ipartition dont see the unit properly, you can use the disk utilities on your Mac and you will be able to reformat the unit to make it compatible with your system.
    2) Is my next step to reinstall the WD software and how do I do that? I've downloaded the Drive Utilities and Securities install apps - I assume I just run these with the drive still connected and that's all I need to do?
    Yes, just run the applications.
    3) What about the firmware update for Mac - when should I run that??
    Normally, firmware updates are released to fix any issues that you might encounter on the drive. the latest one was released on 9/24/2014 and it fixed an issue with the drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode. 
    5) And what about the "My Book Live Duo Setup" app for Mac - is that for a completely different model? What's the difference between "My Book Live Duo" and "My Book Duo"? It's these little things that I find so confusing. 
    Those are different units. The MBL Duo is a NAS (Network attached system) and the My Book Duo is a DAS (Direct attached system)
    6) Lastly, when I have all the software installed, is that when I follow the procedure described in the Knowledge Base article ID 5724, "How to install a My Book Live or My Book Live Duo on Windows (8, 7, Vista, or XP) or Mac OSX for the first time"? Or is that procedure only for "My Book Live Duo" but not for "My Book Duo"?? 
    That procedure is for the network units, not for your drive.
     

  • Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

  • How to extract a folder (and its contents) from inside a zip file?

    There is a zip file which contains a folder inside it. The folder itself contains a few files. I would need to know how to extract the folder (with its contents) from inside a zip file.
    I have found a few unzipping code samples which show how to handle a folder inside a zip file. An example is shown below:
    public static void extract(String workingDirectory, byte[] zipFile)
    throws Exception {
    ByteArrayInputStream byteStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(zipFile);
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    ZipInputStream zipStream = new ZipInputStream(byteStream);
    ZipEntry zipEntry = null;
    String nameZipEntry = null;
    byte[] contentZiphttp://forum.java.sun.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=31#
    Click for code tagsEntry = null;
    boolean isDirectory = false;
    int indexFileSeparator = -1;
    String directory = null;
    String fileName =  null;
    while ( (zipEntry = zipStream.getNextEntry()) != null )
                nameZipEntry = workingDirectory + File.separator + zipEntry.getName();
                isDirectory = zipEntry.isDirectory();
                if (isDirectory) {
    File file = new File(nameZipEntry);
    file.mkdirs();
                else
                    // read zipEntry
                    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                    int c = 0;
                    while ( (c = zipStream.read(buf)) != -1)
                        out.write(buf, 0, c);
                    indexFileSeparator = nameZipEntry.lastIndexOf(File.separator);
                    directory = nameZipEntry.substring(0, indexFileSeparator);
                    fileName =  nameZipEntry.substring(indexFileSeparator+1,nameZipEntry.length());
                    FileSystemTools.createFile(directory, fileName, out);
                    out.reset();
                    zipStream.closeEntry();
            zipStream.close();
            byteStream.close();
    }The code sample which deals with the part where the zipEntry is a directory creates a directory with the same path and name. (highlighted in bold)
    Another similar variation is:
    File file = new File(dirDestiny.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + zipEntry.getName() );
    if(zipEntry.isDirectory())
          file.mkdirs();When the code creates a directory for the folder, does it unzip the contents inside the folder as well?
    If not, how do I extract the files inside the folder?

    Have you already tried to see if the sample code you downloaded works or not? Maybe if you try out the code yourself you can see if it extracts files from a directory within a zip file?
    I like to use pkzip. It is a command line compression/uncompression tool that can be used from a batch file. If you assignment involves unzipping large amount of zip files on a regular basis, I recommend taking a look at pkzip.

  • Backed up avchd files to another drive, can I...

    Hi
    I've backed up my Panny GH2's avchd files to another drive, different from the drive used for editing where they also are.
    To use those files, FCPX imports them wrapped in a QT 'sheath' and produces files about the same size, right. I take it that is not an alias of some kind and it doesn't need the original file any more.
    So can I now remove those original avchd files to give me more room on the drive since they are backed up elsewhere and FCPX has a file good for editing of a similar size?
    Hopefully this  is not too confusing.
    best,
    elmer

    I don't quite get what you mean. When importing in FCPX, you click on the folder and it shows the clips, there's never a choice about importing folder structure that I can see.
    And the pop-up window for importing shows 'copy' checked and grayed out so I don't have a choice. I believe that's about how it was in earlier versions of FCPX. I also tested with a small vid file, just moved it actually to another place in the drive which should have broken the connection. No problem with the file in fcpx.
    Thanks again!
    When You have avchd foorage from a camera, it has a specific folder structure. Some people copy the files from a camera card using the finder and do no copy the e tire folder structure. You ard right that this structure is not apparent shen importing inFCP X.
    It is clear that you have it as FCP X makes copy the media over. Thiz is correct behavior when importing from a camera, camera card or camera archive. That's fine.

    Because pcsx2's PKGBUILD has "lib32-mesa-libgl" as makedepends, while I think it should be the virtual name "lib32-gl". It can cause pacman to uninstall nvidia (lib32-nvidia-libgl) or ATI (lib32-catalyst-utils) in order to install mesa files -- not good, I suppose.
    Please file a bug report against pcsx2 package.

  • My 5 year old iMac's hard drive is at the point of failing.  I'm trying to save al files on it, but it wont allow backup via Time Machine to an external hard drive.  How can I keep from losing all the files and programs if the hard drive fails?

    I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
    How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.

    Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
    Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive.  Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
    After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box.  DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
    That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
    You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key.  That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives.  Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

    Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:

    Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
    And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

  • My macbook pro 10.6.8 Mail stopped working. I can't receive from IMAP ISP or iCloud acct

    on 10-29 my macbookpro 10.6.8 stopped receiving mail from my ISP and from my MobileMe (iCloud account). I got repeated pop-ups for my password at the ISP.  So at the Spokane genius bar, Frank re-loaded the accounts in mail and they seemed to work.  But I just signed up for a site and they sent me a verification e-mail.  I have not received it, and now I'm not even receiving my test mails.  Where are they going?

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
    Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
    In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder.  in the dialogue box type
    /var/db/crls
    In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
    Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash.  It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards.  I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process.  It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
    I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem.  Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
    Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.
