HT3775 MPG file in Gamebreaker- help needed!

Hi, I have an .MPG file that I am trying to open in Gamebreaker software. I just can't get it to work. I can open it in VLC but I need to add a timeline stopwatch to the video so need to use gamebreaker or some other application that has a timeline facility within it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi!
I'm currently having problems while using readLine() for a BufferedReader on a URLConnection.getInputStream() ...
it seem to be frozen sometimes on some URLs, evenif I call BufferedReader.ready() before actually reading the next line..
I think I'll try with read() on a byte-buffer and use available() before

Finder Files/Folder arrangements: Help Needed!

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Mac and I would like to know how you can set Finder to automatically view all files / folders in order of name? without having to change the view of each individual folder
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Ollie

I think I can answer your question. I just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and encountered a similar problem. I think I've found a solution.
After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I noticed that when I used "Icon View" in Finder (which is how I've always used Finder), the icons were completely scrambled and were dispersed randomly all over the window, like a deck of cards strewn on the floor. Some icons were even overlapping other icons. The solution I finally found was to open a finder window, then navigate to any folder in my user account, then right click in a blank area inside the window, then select "Show View Options" from the dropdown menu. This brings up a small preferences pane. Then go to the "Arrange By" dropdown menu in the pane. Then select "Name" from that menu. Then click on the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom of the pane. Then close the pane. That seemed to work for finder windows. For the Desktop, I got the same results by right-clicking on an empty space on the Desktop and following the same procedure, except that you won't need to click the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom of the preferences pane for the Desktop, because there is no such button. These simple steps seemed to do the trick. If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, you may need to repeat these steps for each user account.
Incidentally, I should mention that before I discovered this solution I called AppleCare support and they told me the only thing I could do was to navigate to each individual folder on my Mac and right-click inside the Finder window for that folder and select "Arrange by Name". The guy who was helping me talked to someone above him in the AppleCare hierarchy who said exactly the same thing. Both of these people said that there was no way to universally change the Finder settings for icon arrangement. They said I had to do it folder-by-folder, for all the thousands of folders on my Mac. I was ready to revert to Leopard, but decided to experiment for a few minutes to see whether I could find a solution. That's how I came up with the solution outlined above.

To display non US-ASCII filename in file download dialog - Help Needed

Hi,
Our application supports to upload a file with name in chinese/japanese language. When user tries to download filedownload dialog box is appearing with the filename as junk characters.
How to solve this issue to display the filename as uploaded.
Thanks in advance
~kans

bsampieri, issue is in display of the file name in
file download dialog.
~kansI understood that, but my thought was that the HTTP headers content type containing a charset of UTF-8 might help. I don't know for sure, but otherwise, I don't know how to get the browser to otherwise not assume ASCII.

File Compression Questions/Help Needed

Question, I have just completed an audio presentation project (audio book on CD) for a client (681 mgs) which I now need to have replicated 1500 times over. The problem is my outsourced replicator will only press cd's up to 650 mgs. Therefore, I need to figure out how to compress the presentation just slightly (as to not lose tone quality) to get in onto the disc. (The CD Rom will be played in the car or computer Cd players)
I used the Soundtrack 1.2 to complete the project and also have Quicktime pro, however, I'm not sure what to do and how to change the settings to get the compression correct.
Thanks

Is it something you can simply save as an .aif file, then import it into iTunes and then compress it to mp3 at, say, 256 Kbps? That's pretty good... but if you're looking for better... perhaps an mp2? Not easy to find an mpeg1 layer 2 compression utility, but I use Sound Converter:

File control question -help needed

hi all the experts
when using a file control, how can i change a file extension on the run after
writing data to a file which was specified in control property? can this file
be modified by other process when it is being written by the process that initializes
the control, other words, is it being locked to prevent other process to access
it while it is being created and written? thanks and looking forward to ur help.

JAR file updating project config file error. Help needed!

Hi all,
I got a problem when I want to use an existed jar file. There is a method called setConfig which can read and update the properties inside a property file which will be located inside the deployed jar file. But when the other project want to use this jar file. It causes the following error:
Property 'configfile' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical
The code might cause this error is like:
String temp = configfile.substring(CLASSPATH_IND.length()).trim();
URL url = BaseConfigureFactory.class.getClassLoader().getResource(temp);
try {
tempcfg = (new File(url.toURI())).getAbsolutePath();
} catch(URISyntaxException use) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(use);
It seems like the url is wrong so that the program can not find the configfile. Does anyone give some suggestions? Thanks

I have all of e.printStackTrack( ) in my try - catch block. But i also think the blank screen appears because the class can not find my resources. Maybe it's my fault, because i create by hand a folder name "res" in project folder, then put all my resource in this folder. And in Eclipse when i try to get these resource, i wrote something like this:
     Image robot1N, robot1E, robot1S, robot1W;
     private void initResources() {
          try {
               String sb = "car1";
               robot1N = ImageIO.read(new File("res\\img\\unit\\" + sb +"_N.png"));
               robot1E = ImageIO.read(new File("res\\img\\unit\\" + sb +"_E.png"));
               robot1S = ImageIO.read(new File("res\\img\\unit\\" + sb +"_S.png"));
               robot1W = ImageIO.read(new File("res\\img\\unit\\" + sb +"_W.png"));
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     }Maybe the string of path to resource is right in Eclipse but wrong in Window?

File i/o help needed

In the code below, I am reading in an xml file and compressing it. Then I am writing the compressed file back out to another file. However, when I place a break point in my code after the writing is suppose to be complete and view the newly created file at that point, it is not complete. It only becomes completely written when the main method is completely finished. Can someone tell me why this is so? Thanks in advance!!

     try
              if (args.length == 1)

Convert .mpg files to use in iMovie HD6

I have 8mm cine film converted to DVDs. I have 2 versions - one which I can play and view on the mac or on my TV. The other version has the original .mpg files. I want to edit the movie to take a short clip to send to someone but iMovie can't recognise the .mpg files. Do I need to convert the .mpg file before it will open in iMovie? If so, what is the best way to convert the file?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Need help playing .mpg files

Just recently my computer has stopped playing .mpg files with sound, all I get is the video. iTunes, Quicktime and the Internet all will not play them with sound. Youtube.com does play movie files with sound so I'm assuming they aren't .mpg files.
This problem just started happening recently and I have no idea what I did. .Mov files do play with sound.
Thanks for any help.

The following steps solved my problem similar to yours.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
For more detail, read this article.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
My output setting looked like 44100.0 Hz when I first opened Audio MIDI Setup. I changed it to 96000.0 Hz first and changed it back to 44100.0 Hz just to make sure the setting will be in effect. It worked.

help!!!
What kind of 'mpg' files? mpg-1, mpg-2, mpg-4? There are many different 'flavors'.
Update: I just checked my Mac PowerPoint Help files and found:
You can insert videos in the following formats:
• QuickTime (QT, MOV)
• QuickTime VR (QTVR)
• MPEG (MPG)
• Video for Windows (AVI)
Which doesn't clarify things much, does it?

HT3775 what soft ware do i need to add to play a MOD.mpg file on my macbook pro???

i am trying to play a video and the message says it (quicktime) cant support this file and i more need to add on?
thx!

either file is broken or you need a codec. Alternatively you may go to an App Store and look for a player that supports multiple video formats i.e. by typing player to the App Store's search field you should get quite a few results.

Help Needed re joining files

I need some basic conceptual help with QT! I have used QT Player since QT started, but I have always used it just to play whatever simply double-clicks open in it. I have QT Pro, so I know QT can do more. However, I don’t understand some basic things about QT:
1. On the File Menu, what is the difference between “open” and “import,” and why would one choose one or the other?
2. What is the difference between “save as” and “export,“ and why would one use one or the other?
3. My QT v. 6.03 (running on OS 8.6/9.1) regularly uses four different (at least) file types with the creator code TVOD:
MooV - created when a file is “saved” or “saved as” from QT
MPEG - files downloaded by the browser to the hard drive have this file type.
MMCH - in the MSIE temporary folder when MSIE uses the QT plug-in to run an abc123.mpg or an abc123.mov file.
mpg4 - created when a file is “exported” from QT (I assume there once was/is mpg1, mpg2, and mpg3?)
What is one supposed basically to know about these file types and when to use which.
4. I would like to be able to join two downloaded mpg files together to make one. The mpg files consist of a video travelogue with an oral narrative. However...
The files download with a file type of MPEG and named A1.mpg and A2.mpg. When I open these in QT, the Edit Menu is dimmed and unavailable. I can play each file individually and the files display fine with the sound inteact.
If I re-save these using “SaveAs” I get MooV files, which will open and play, but again, the EditMenu is dimmed and unavailable. I can play each file individually and the files display fine with the sound inteact.
If I “export” these two files, I get mpg4 files which will open and play the video only -- no sound, BUT, the EditMenu IS available and undimmed and I can copy and paste the two files into one file, which will play the video in order; however, the sound is lost...
...and so am I! Help!

One would "Open" a regular QT formatted file (.mov, .mpg, .avi). You would "Import" (Pro only) a non QT formatted file (.jpg, .mp3, .txt) to use them in QT content. Version 7 does away with the "Import" menu as the Open menu really does the same as Import.
"Save As" does not re-compress the data in the file. You don't want to re-compress a simple "Cut" for example. Save As creates a new file and leaves the original untouched. It also puts the file (whatever formats) into a .mov "container".
So you could "Import" a Flash file (.swf) and "Save As" a .mov file. No compression. No conversion. Just a Flash track in a .mov file.
"Export" is used to "convert" the file to other formats (Movie to iPod Movie).
There never was any MPEG-3 format (beyond specs) and we are now using MPEG-4. An .mp3 file is really MPEG-1 layer 3 (another spec).
Basic rule: QuickTime can "play" MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 (additional software required) but can not edit the formats.
Do a search for (very old) software that can "demux" (separate audio and video) from your MPEG-1 files. Most are free and can convert the files to formats you can edit with QT Pro.
Your version 6 "Key" is still valid if you ever decided to move up to OS X. It will be of little value in Tiger because it requires QT version 7.

PLEASE HELP! iMovie and .MPG Files

Hello. Please help me. I'm on a G5. 10.5.3. iMovie 7.1.2 (577) I have a series of .MPG files that I need to import into iMovie to edit, arrange and then export over to iDVD, etc. iMovie does not see the .MPG files. The Apple site states that iMovie sees only MPEG-4 files and DV files. I also own Quicktime Pro 7.5 (149.5). When I open the .MPG file in Quicktime Pro, even though the file plays perfectly, when I select "Export to MPEG-4" so I can create a readable file by iMovie, I get an error message that say's "Failed: Export process terminated unexpectedly (10). Complete frustration. Is there another way I can convert these files so iMovie can see them? What's wrong with my Quicktime Pro? I bought DivX Pro last night. I thought maybe that program would make an iMovie readable file. No luck. I used DivX to convert and it created a DivX file with NO SOUND. Wasted money.
If anyone has any solutions for my problems noted here or possible alternatives so I can achieve what I'm trying to do successfully, PLEASE ADVISE as soon as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and THANKS, in advance, for your help.

I'm still wondering why QT Pro is failing to convert with that error message.
Well, if the video codec used in the .MPG container is MPEG2, QuickTime cannot export with a source of this format; it can only play it.
I remember reading about the reason for Apple doing this, and I forgot exactly why it is, but I think it had something to do with some legal issue. I also read that this is why Mac OS has a separate DVD Player instead of just playing DVDs right inside of QuickTime.
