How would you record overdubs on FCP files?

I have about ten hours of footage for a doc I had translated. I have a guy coming over to do overdubs, and I just realized I don't know how I am going to have them recorded! FCP can't record them right? Any suggestions for software or other ideas. I would love to have something which was somewhat integrated so I don't have to export all ten hours of footage from FCP.

Here's a link to a freeware program called Audio In. It's about the simplest tool you can use for voice over. It records AIFF files that easily import to FCP.

Disable the pop-up message box "How would you like to open this file" to open pdf file??

Hi,
is there any way i can stop the pop-up box displaying to open pdf file in sharepoint document library? Right now whenever i am trying to open pdf file, asking "how would you like to open" Read only or edit mode. currently MIME Type is setup
but still pop-up message box.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi ,
As far as I know, This is a default feature. and is not recommended to delete or deactivate this pop up.
This is a feature of office and there is a dll called owssupp.dll which is responsible for getting the popup to open.
You can go to IE tools> addon settings and deactivate the above dll (sharepoint open document class). But if you do so, then the other office office files which are word/excel/pptx etc.. would aslo gets affected and they also wont get the popup.
Hope this helps.

In this case, how would you save values to a file?

Hi,
I need your advice. I have a Vi with lots of controls and the user can change many settings.
If I stop and start the vi again, you'll surely know, all settings are back to default, due to the fact that LabVIEW unfortunately does not allow to make values default programmatically.
Nevertheless there are many possibilities to save and load the settings. But which one is the best in my case?
I have boolean buttons, over 60 numeric controls, two file pathes and one numeric array.
I could write all of them separated by tabs in a text file (see screenshot), and read them back - but this is very laborious and prone to mix-up.
I tried clustering, but it's not possible due to the array, which I cannot put into a cluster.
What would be the best and simplest way to accomplish this saving and reading of the settings? What would you recommend?
Greetings

You could write a VI that set values from a file using VI server. With VI server you get references to all controls and create a list of label.text. When you read the value for "Smierung" you search the index of the reference to that control in the label array and set the value using "Value" property.
Play around with VI server and control references.

How would you like to open this file?

I'm using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13CO and I'm using Adobe Reader 9.3.2. We have recently upgraded the browser and reader mentioned. Now when I open a PDF document within the browser, it asks me how I would like to open the file, i.e. Read-Only or Edit mode. We certainly can't edit these PDF's, so is there any way to get rid of this prompt and just open the PDF's in Read-Only mode?
Thanks

How would you go about limiting file upload

I don't need source code, just want to know if it's possible or how to go about limiting how many files a user can upload.
So far
I can limit what types of files get uploaded.
I can limit how big those files can be.
Is it possible, or how would you go about limiting how many files get sent?
- When the user does a browse they can select multiple files.

This is the best that I can come up with.
Ripped from adobe cookbooks
var fileList:Array = fileReferenceList.fileList;
if( fileList.length > 4 )
    Alert.show("Too many files" , "Please try again with 4 or less files");
else
   for (var i:Number=0; i<fileList.length; i++)
       var file:FileReference = FileReference(fileList[i]);
       arrayCollection.addItem({name:file.name, size:file.size, object:file})

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow

How would you share files in a small 3-mac office ?

Hi all, thanks for reading
So, I work in a small office. 4 Macs, they are all integrated in a campus network, connected to the internet and to printers; here is not the problem. My question is about the best way to share a bunch of files, so that any of these Macs can read and modify them, but keeping it as simple, inexpensive, and consumer-grade as possible (that is without Mac OS X Server).
The status quo is as following :
We have 3 individual "working-stations" (e.g. iMac G4, G4 Cube, MBP). Each of us has its own, and logs each morning on it's unique personal account. Let's call them (1), (2), and (3).
To share files, we have set up a fourth Mac (actually an old yosemite G3, OS 10.3), with a single account called "team". On this Mac are all the shared files (in Users/team/Documents/), and they all belong to "team".
To access them from the working stations (1), (2), and (3), we connect to this G3 as user "team", and copy, modify, and replace files on it. That way the user "team" is always the owner of all files on this Mac.
It's easy to backup, and via filemaker sharing, we also share an address database from this "pseudo-file-server".
Ok, so in prinicple it works (it worked for some years now).
But it's probably not the best solution. I would like to use Time Machine on a new iMac Core2Duo to backup the shared files, and (if possible) get rid of the extra humming computer. I tried in the past to put the account "team", together with one of the users (say "1") on a single Mac. Nice, with fast user swithching. But then I didn't manage to access the files of "team" from account "1" without messing with the file permissions (In principle I had put the files to share in Users/team/Public -- it was on 10.3)
There are perhaps new possibilities with Leopard (just discovering) -- What would you do to share those files ? Any ideas welcome !
Cheers,
Malte

Here is one possible lead. It's only one lead and I'm sure there are many other ones people here will pass on to you.
I'm using an old PC box with four hardware RAIDed drives and Linux.
Then, the software solution is to use Samba, as file server. Samba allows to force all files dropped on one "share" to be owned by one single user (a user created for that purpose on the Linux box).
[public]
comment = Public service for some users
path = /extra/smb/public
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
writeable = Yes
create mask = 0644
guest ok = Yes
follow symlinks = No
The macs mount this service through CIFS as (example) CIFS://TVNLINUX.SOMEDOMAIN.COM/PUBLIC/
SMB protocol is Ok too, of course.
This can be done without requiring a matching user name on all Macs. The Samba server does the user mapping.
Ok. This doesn't get you with a practical project to jump start on, but you can investigate into solutions that can do alike: remapping users to a default server-side user. If you know some geek that can set you up this kind of box, that's a great solution. It's been running here for some 10 years, and has accommodate everyone since OS 8.
On the other hand, I don't know if Time Machine will back it up. I've fired it and don't see it interested in this network mounted drive. We do back it up, but with simple replications to another system. The RAID helps us with a good level of service. Backups are to protect us from accidental deletions.
I hope this helps.

How would you write a "wildcard" in a filefilter?

How would you go about to have a wildcard instead of the "*" in the following filefilter;
          File[] files = new File("./resultat/resultat_" + "*" + "_" + index[0]).listFiles (new FileFilter () {
                public boolean accept (File file) {
                    return ! file.isDirectory ();
          });All help appriciated
- Karl XII

Shouldn't "a*" accept all files that begins with "a" and ends with whatever?No. "*" in regexp is a not a wildcard match. Instead it matches one or more instances of the preceeding
value.
Therefore "a*" will match "a", "aa", "aaa", "aaaa" etc but will not match anything which does not end in
an "a".
The following might help you out. (not the most elegent expression but it will do
import java.util.regex.*;
public class RegExp{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("a*b");
Matcher m = p.matcher("aaaab");
System.out.println(m.matches());
// interesting bit here
// match one or more occurances of any characters in the ASCII charset (the \\p{ASCII}* bit
p = Pattern.compile("hello_\\p{ASCII}*_b");
m = p.matcher("hello_wibble_b");
System.out.println(m.matches());
}

How would you pass more than 255 args?

I have an SFTP program that currently is only passed a single file. I am modifying it so that it will loop though an array of files to simulate an mput command. Originally I was just going to call the program with each file to be transferred as an argument but noticed the 255 argument limit. I am looking at potentially having 1500 - 2000 files to transfer at one time. I am just looking for advice on how this should be designed. One idea that was forwarded to me was to just create a listing of the files on the server and use that list file as my argument. Would this be the best approach for this issue?

I see no reason why you need an argument for every file.I would not necessarily need one for every file. Prior to our needing to use this for multiple files, it was easy enough to pass in one file as an argument. That is my question, how would you try to pass in a long list of files?Let's establish what you are concerned about. The 255 argument limit is on method signatures. From what you're saying here, you're talking about arguments being passed into your application from, say, the shell. Am I right?Correct, please see my clarified post. From what I have tested, the 255 argument limit appears to exist even for arguments passed to main.Ah, but arguments passed to main from the command line are passed into main as a single array of Strings, no matter how many of them there are. I have no idea what the limit on those is, but an array can hold millions of elements. I expect your shell will moan about that many, though.
As I see it, you have a few choices. Unless these files are all in different, arbitrary directories, you can specify a list of directories for your app to search. Or you can pass them all in one at a time, and see how you go. Or you can list them in a text file, pass that to your app and have it work them out. Or write a script that invokes your app multiple times. What you don't need, is a method that takes each file as an argument.Thank you for walking me through this. Would you mind telling me which way you would lean if you were designing this? The files will all be in a single directory on the server and I would not like to invoke the app multiple times as it creates a connection during each invocation. They're all in the single directory. Ok, are all the files in that directory to be transferred? If so, I'd just pass the directory name to the app, and have it iterate over all the files. If it's only to be certain ones, how do you know which ones? Is there some regex or filtering you can do on the command line?
If you are interested, the 255 argument limit for main that I tested was from this article:
[http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue059.html|http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue059.html]
It does die at 255 using Java 1.5.Like I said, arguments to a method are thus limited. But the args passed to an app are passed to main as one argument - an array. In short, that article is not relevant to your problem.

Read the answer in your previous posting:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=772451
Use the file as an InputStream to read the data and then use an OutputStream to write the file.
The logic is the same as reading and writing a file from disk once you have the InputStream.

HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

How would you split a 10 GB root partition? Would you?

The system seems to be booting a little slow lately (been using Arch for more than a year now) and I was thinking of splitting the root partition to improve performance.
Right now the entire OS is on a single partition. I don't have a /home partition but I can see it's usefulness:
- files on /home are, in general, more frequently written (browser cache especially), which means less fragmentation for the root partition
- having a noexec flag for /home so no potentially dangerous software will run from there (and why would you need to run software from /home?)
- my /var folder takes up 102 MB, 9.706 files in 4.846 folders. Is there a filesystem that will deal well with many small files ? ReiserFS maybe ?
So how would you split (gigabyte-wise) a 10 GB partition into /, /home and /var ? And would you ? I've been told from the IRC channel that it makes zero sense. At least not for desktop use.
PS: I'm also switching from i686 to x86_64, so please take that into account as well. For instance I noticed that 64 bit software usually takes up more space than 32 bit.

How would you capture the stdout of Runtime.getRuntime().exec())?

How would you capture the stdout of Runtime.getRuntime().exec())?
Say you wanted to execute PKZIP25.exe from java using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). How would you capture the output of PKZIP25 (the console IO) in a file so you could check the results?
Thanks
Bill Blalock

Thanks.
Could you explain a little more?
The program I am calling seems to be executing, as far as Java is concerned, but nothing happens. I imagine I have made mistakes in calling it but can't see the output to the console.
Should I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() or Runtime.exec() for something like this?
I appreciate the help!

How would you read in each line of data and display them to message box?

How would you read in each line of data from the _.txt file_ and display the whole data using an information-type message box?
I know how to display each line of the .txt file data, but I do not know how to display the whole thing.
Here is how I did to display each line of data using the message box:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;          // Needed for the JOptionPane class
import java.io.*;                         // Needed for file classes
public class problem3
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          String filename;          // Needed to read the file
          String categories;          // Needed to read the categories
          // Get the filename.
          filename = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the filname.");
          // Open the file.
          FileReader freader = new FileReader(filename);
          BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader(freader);
          // Read the categories from the file.
          categories = inputFile.readLine();
          // If a category was read, display it and
          // read the remainig categories.
          while(categories != null)
               // Display the last category read.
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(categories);
               // Read the next category.
               categories = inputFile.readLine();
          // Close the file.
          inputFile.close();
}I think I need to change here:
// If a category was read, display it and
          // read the remainig categories.
          while(categories != null)
               // Display the last category read.
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(categories);
               // Read the next category.
               categories = inputFile.readLine();
          }but I don't know how to.
Could you please help me?
Thank you.

What I was trying to say is "How to display the whole lines of .txt file in single dialog box."We know that.
Do you understand that any problem can be broken down into smaller pieces?
Do you understand that your problem has the following pieces?
1. Read lines from the file.
2. Put the lines together into one String.
3. Put the String into the message box.
and maybe
4. Make sure the message box contents are split into lines exactly as the file was.
(You didn't make it clear if that last one is a requirement.)
Do you understand that 1-4 are completely independent problems and can be solved separately from each other?
Do you understand that you have stated that you already know how to do 1 and 3?
Therefore, you are NOT asking "How to display the whole lines of .txt file in single dialog box." Rather, you ARE asking either #2 or #4 or both.
If you say once more "display all the lines of the file in one dialog box," then it is clear that we are unable to communicate with you and we cannot help you.
