I need help me with my Video Playback

Every couple of weeks my video output stops working without me changing any of my audio video settings, user preferences, etc. My friend showed me that if I trash my user prefernces folder, for some reason the video playback comes back on.
Is there a way that I might fix this problem without having to trash all my settings?
The Playback is firewired to a JVC BR-DV6000 which is hooked up to a moniter via bnc. Thanks for any help.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Problems with Flash video playback

I'm having a problem with Flash video playback, hoping
someone here can help.
I have several movies which I have converted to .flv using
the Flash authoring tool. I have then created an .swf for each
movie, embedding the .flv along with the playback component,
playback controls, etc.
I can open these .swfs using Flash Player and everything
displays and plays as expected. However, when I embed the .swf into
a web page and open it using a browser, the playback controls don't
show up, and the movie will only play if it has been encoded to
autoplay. I am on an Intel Mac, using the latest Flash Player
plug-in, and am having this problem in both Firefox 2.0.0.11 and in
Safari 2.0.4.
I'm guessing that the problem lies in how I have encoded the
.swfs into the web page? Hoping someone has a solution, or at least
a good suggestion!
thanks,
- sounddevisor

Yes, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just to clarify for anyone else who stumbles across this -
the extra .swf files (which contain the skin for the player) need
to be in the same directory as the .html doc which is displaying
the video .swf. Hope that helps someone else!

i need help guys mi karaoke videos aren't playing anymore how can i download some drivers for it ?

Drivers? You need a program to run them such as K-Jams. Then you will need to check your connections from the laptop to the monitor and make sure your settings are correct in System Preferences.
Good Luck

Need help compressing 140 minute video file for DVD+R

Hi folks,
I am self-teaching Final Cut Studio and DVD Studio Pro. I must admit, the manual is not helping me with some key areas.
My first test in burning a DVD was to load a QT file into FCS then burn it to a standard DVD+R. Now, those say 120 minute capacity of course, so I wanted to compress the file.
I exported to Compressor and chose the DV 120 Minute option the first time. When that did not work I tried the 150 Minute option. Since it takes 3-5 hours for the DVD to burn on my new G5 Dual 2.0, that is all I have had a chance to try so far.
Since neither is working, I assume I am missing a step either in Compressor or in loading the file into DVD Studio Pro.
It burns all the way to 99% and then says '127.5 MB needed to complete' or something like that - in yellow lettering. I take it to mean the video file needs to be 127.5 MB smaller for it to work. I could cut a few minutes out, but that isn't the point.
Can anyone please direct me to either a page in the manual or assist me through this forum as to what error(s) I am making?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

What type of audio are you encoding to? If you're using uncompressed PCM/AIFF you're going to have trouble putting 140 minutes of video on a single-layer DVD (i.e. the quality will have to be pretty low). The preset titles for Apple's settings are calculated based upon compressed Dolby AC-3 audio -- not uncompressed PCM/AIFF. Thus, the so-called 150 minute preset will only produce about 120 minutes of capacity if you are using uncompressed PCM/AIFF audio.
If you want to put 140 minutes of video with audio on a single-layer DVD you're either going to have to use Dolby/AC-3 audio or create your own custom preset to use with PCM/AIFF audio.
However, if you are using compressed Dolby/AC-3 audio (only) then you may just be seeing an inaccuracy in Apple's preset targets (size). In that case just lower the target or average bitrate slightly so that you can fit your 140 minutes on the DVD. Just make a copy of Apple's 150 minute preset and tweak the bitrate slightly down (since that preset seems to be getting close to your target).

Need Help Please with Ipod 20G

Long story short....I had my Ipod 4G and computer stolen several month ago on a business trip(have police report). A friend of mine recently purchased a new Video Ipod and gave me his old 20G...pretty nice of him! I am about to have iTunes loaded on to my new computer. Here are my questions I need help with please.
1. Will I need to setup a new iTunes account or can I use my old one?
2. Will I have to reset my newly acquired Ipod before I can place my music on it? I did back up about 80% of the songs from my old Ipod. Or will I be able to keep the 1500 songs my friend placed on it?
3. Or would it be easier for me to give him back his, cough up the $300 dollars for a new one and start all over?
Can't think of anything else I might need to know. If there is something I am missing and you could help fill in the blanks for me I would truly appreciate the help.
Thanks so much!!

20G Windows 2000

1. No. You can use your old one.
2. Will I have to reset my newly acquired Ipod before I can place my music on it? No, but iTunes may automatically do this, I will explain.
I did back up about 80% of the songs from my old Ipod. Or will I be able to keep the 1500 songs my friend placed on it?
Sorry, but it would not be legal to keep the 1500 songs on this iPod that were your friend's songs, assuming that he's still using/listening to them on another computer.
3. No, I think it would be worth it to keep going, and use the 20GB iPod on your computer. It's not many hoops to jump through, and you should be up and syncing in no time.
Overall, it's fairly easy, and I would suggest that you keep going with this iPod.
My note from question #2:
If you connect an iPod that hasn't been attatched to your computer before, iTunes will most likely display [to the effect of] this message when you connect the iPod for the first time:
"The songs on the iPod "~~" are linked to another iTunes library. Would you like to replace the content of the iPod with this current iTunes library?"
Be sure to click on "NO" when you recieve this message.
Then, click on your iPod's name in the left panel of iTunes.
Click on the "Music" tab.
Deselect "Sync Music" if it is already set to this option.
This means that your iPod is on manual managing now, instead of iTunes automatically transferring songs to your iPod, or deleting them, which is not what you want at this time.
Now, if you have any songs on the iPod that you need to keep (i.e., if you have some of your songs on this iPod)you have a few options to transfer your iPod songs to your computer.
Method 1 - Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes using MacMuse's post. See it here -> iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)
Method 2 - Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). Read this post here -> Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes
Method 3 - Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod
I hope that info helps you.

Problem with 5800 video playback

I am having problems with high quality playback on my 5800. When I transfer videos using high quality encoding through the OVI suite or through an external converter, and play it back on the phone, it practically never plays smoothly. it suffers from frame skips and hanging of videos in the middle of playback while the audio still continues in the background. this also holds true for the videos that came with the phone. is there any way to smooth it out. I am presently downloading the firmware update but I don't think it will fix the issue since it was not mentioned in the update list.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I installed the new firmware and, as I expected, it hasn't solved the problem

Need help dealing with nested audio in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2

Hi, so previously I have been working with nested multicam video and nested audio together (one video track, and one audio track).
However, I am hitting some issues with the nested audio workflow, and am hoping someone could help me iron out my issues.
1. Once I've completed my edit, how do I efficiently flatten my nested edits so I have all of my original audio back? (For mixing purposes)
2. Audio nesting sometimes seems glitchy. When making new nests, sometimes I will only get the topmost audio track in my nest, and I'm not sure what's causing that to happen.
I REALLY need helping getting my workflow together, as it's at a bit of a stand still right now. I think I'm going to switch to unnested audio to avoid issues, but still need to flatten my existing edits to do that as well.
Many thanks!

This bug is NOT FULLY FIXED. I'm on a tight deadline so i'm not looking very hard online to see if i'm alone - so please forgive me for just posting here...
I'm using CC7.2.1 it's 1/21... very grateful that match frame FINALLY works on merged clips, but, again, this insert/overwrite bug is only PARTIALLY FIXED.
Insert/overwrite with merged clips on 3-point edit now works, but ONLY when cutting in BOTH merged video+audio... if you're just trying to cut in the audio from a merged clip using a 3-point/4-point edit via hotkey, it's a no-go.
I, for example, needed to re-cut in audio under some video with effects on it. So, I unpatched the video source completely and patched source audio tracks 1-4 to the appropriate sequence tracks. Upon hitting insert or overwrite multiple times, nothing responds. The only way to cut anything in from the source (merged clip) was to patch the source video back into the timeline on an unused video track, then cut ALL the tracks from the source in, I then had to delete the video track re-link the now free audio to the original video. Not a big deal, but annoying enough & waste of precious time on tight deadline.
So, yeah, I have a workaround but is still not appropriate to have a core function not work properly. Especially when I'm working with a very complicated timeline.
That said, thanks for keeping on top of our gripes, Mark.

Need help getting current/default audio playback device from VISTA

Hello,
I need to get the current audio playback device in VISTA.
It's easy enough in XP as I just get this information from the
registry. My understanding is that things are different under
VISTA. I was told you can't change the device but you can get the
device using the following...
--CoCreateInstance(IMMDeviceEnumerator)
--IMMDeviceEnumerator->GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(eConsole)
Problem is I don't know what to do with that. I assume it
needs to be compiled with some library (compiler, library, etc... I
don't have)
So... question, is there already an xtra that can get this
information OR... can I pay someone to make an xtra using the above
info?
If you are able/willing to help, please let me know asap as
project is due next week. I can pay you through paypal.
Thank you!!!!!
[email protected]

http://www.schmittmachine.com/asPitchDetect.html
Antoine Schmitt at that url builds Xtras and his
asPitchDetect Xtra can get info on recording devices... try
contacting him and he might be able to help you with a custom Xtra
to get info on playback devices in Vista.

Need help syncing audio and video

Hello,
I am fairly new to this Mac and Final Cut Pro. Over the weekend, I recorded some video and audio separately and am now attempting to piece them together. I can get the two in sync for about a minute and after that they no longer line up. I was told the root of the problem was that the sound was recorded at 32 bits and needs to be 16 bits to sync up with the video in FCP, however, after I rendered the sound clip and checked up on its settings, I discovered that it was 16 bits. So now I am completely stumped. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Jamie

Seems like that person is a little lost on the subject.
Do this. Open FCP, go into Audio Video settings under the Final Cut Pro menu, then click on the Sequence Presets tab. (Forget about an Easy Setup, because you are not capturing. Easy setup is only if you want to match capture settings to sequence settings and playback settings. You are only concerned with sequence settings.)
In the Sequence settings tab, locate the Apple Pro Res 422 1920x1080 (or the corresponding aspect ratio for your footage), and press duplicate. Then, go into the duplicate setting and change the editing time base to 30 from 29.97, and change the timecode rate to Non-Drop frame. Label this something different so you know where to find it when you need it.
Now, when you start a project, go into the A/V Settings and choose this as the Sequence preset. Make sure you convert your footage with either Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to ProRes 422 before you edit. Do NOT use the native H.264 files that the camera creates.
The reason the blogger couldn't do it was because they were relying on Easy Setups. You can't set up a capture preset for 30 fps, because tape plays at 29.97. But you aren't capturing from a tape. You're just importing files.

Need help urgently with OS X and Windows 7

I need help urgently.
I installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro with OS X Lion. After installing Windows7, I accidently converted the basic volumes to dynamic volumes and now i can't even boot to OS X.
Please help me how to recover my OS X Lion. If I have to delete Windows and bootcamp partitions, it is OK.
I just want to get back my OS X bootable.
Thanks

I could see OS X and Windows partitions if I hold down Option key before changing the partitions to Dynamic partitions from Basic in Windows 7.
Now can't see OS X partiton and only see Winodws partition but when I tried to boot onto Windows7 , I got BSOD and macbook pro restart.
Please help
The usual reason for the OSX partition to be invisible under these circumstances is that it has been trashed by Windows.
Do you have a backup?

Need Help/Advice with Photo Web Gallery coming from SQL Database

This is my first attempt at a database driven website. I assume what I am trying to accomplish should be fairly easy for more experienced but I am stuck at this point.
First, let me explain what I am trying to accomplish.
I want to create a thumbnail photo gallery displayed in columns and rows. I want to be able to hover over or click on the thumbnail image and have a lightbox script display the image over the thumb page. I am developing locally right now with intent to upload to the hosting site upon completion.
I am developing with ASP vbScript pages. I have an SQL database where the paths to the image thumbnails and pictures are stored in a table. On the gallery page, I have created a div tag to hold my image recordset. Within this div, I have inserted 3 absolute positioned divs to hold the pictureID, the pictureName and the image inserted as a datasource. I then inserted the information from the bindings panel of my recordset. Last, I used a horizontal looper extension from Tom Muck to get the thumbnails to display in columns and rows. Everything works up to this point just fine.
Now, I want to be able to hover or click on a thumnail image and have it displayed in a lightbox. I downloaded and used a javascript called Lightbox 2 which contains 3 javascript files and a css stylesheet. I inserted the files into the head tag like instructed to but could not get things to work properly. Here is where I need help. Currently, I am clicking on the thumbImage binding within the image Div and creating a link holder. I am then binding the larger pictureImage to it with the a.href selected in the bind to. I am then adding the command to call the lightbox javascript. Now, when I test my page, my thumbnail images do not show up (my alt text does in its place) but the links are in place and you can click on the alt text and it will return the correct larger image, but not in the lightbox, just in a new window with no styles.
Am I going about this correctly? Can you use lightbox scripts with data-driven galleries? Does anybody have any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong or missing? Are there better ways to go about accomplishing this?
Any help would be appreciated as this dynamic data thing has my head spinning. Although I know a database is needed to simplify the update and maintenance of the photos while allowing them to be searchable by keywords and tags also set up in the database.
Thanks

As I explained, I am developing locally a the moment. I will see about getting the databased moved up to the hosting server and then provide a link for an example.
In the mean time, can you or anyone else explain a way that you would go about displaying an image thumbnail photo gallery laid out in rows / columns, with any lighbox script that would overlay the larger image over the existing page instead of opening a new browser window?
I don't have to use the method I tried to describe.
In all of the lightbox examples I have looked at thus far, they give instructions on how to append that javascript to a single static image or a group of static images, not images from a datasource. That is where I am getting confused.
Don't know if this will help or not but please see code below:
Javascript and CSS positioned in head tag

<link href="CSS/lightbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="Scripts/protype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Need help ASAP with photoshop elements 11

Please I need help its photoshop elements 11 but I can't put up the pic I need help with could someone help me out by using Facebook, Amanda Jayne Clarke I have a pic of a little girl n a horse
Please i need help ASAP

well you can find many tutorials about how to change background in Photoshop Elements. It ranges all the way from using magic extractor to making a selection using lasso and magnetic lasso tools. But I really prefer using a mask for it. Here is how I would change the background of image A and use Image B as the background.
Open image B in photoshop elements editor- expert mode.
go to file->place and choose the image A to place over image B
go to layers panel by choosing Window-> layers from menu bar. Right click the layer A choose simplify layer.
with layer A selected, choose layer>layer mask> reveal All from menu bar. It would create a layer mask on the layer A.
Select the mark layer of layer A, choose the brush tool and change foreground color to black. Paint all over the are you want to remove from the layer A. if you make an error, change the color white to get your image area back. it is a good practice to use lower opacity(~60) while using layer mark as it gives you more control over with how much opacity you want to remove the background
Happy Editing

SEVERE, MAJOR Problems with ITunes Video Playback on 64-bit Win7

So I got a new rig (ASUS G74SX running 64-bit Win7 Home Prem) after I figured my nearly 5-year old HP Pav dv9500t running 32-bit Vista Home Prem had put in good years of work. In using ITunes on the Vista system, I never really saw problems with its player on video podcasts.
Completely different story on the Win7 machine. Aside from all the other problems noted with ITunes itself (not the player) in this forum, there is this:
1. When something like UAC occurs, the video clip runs in the player, but the video is frozen (like a photographic still) while the audio continues to run on normally. Workaround: minimize then restore the player window, then the video part of playback returns. Of course that gets annoying doing that multiple times after a while.
2. With one video podcast (for example, The Young Turks podcasts), while the audio again continues normally, the video track lags unbelievably. The video appears in slow motion. The viewer risks a headache from vertigo if the viewer continues watching slow motion video unmatched with the normal audio.
At first I considered the possiblity that it was related to a 5400 rpm hard disk drive, which came with the new machine and I would not have normally have not bought myself, but I had someone buying it for me (my HP system only had 7200 rpm drives...what is ASUS thinking in letting Best Buy do a performance markdown?). Then I played that video podcast with VLC media player, and it absolutely had NO problem keeping up with the video and audio. (Another thing to like and prefer with this player is that you can keep the window on top.)
Seriously, the programming group at ITunes should be ashamed and maybe every member of its group should consider getting another day job. With each revision, ITunes seems to get worse.

My installation of version 10.6.x of ITunes does not have QuickTime.
As of version 10.5 of ITunes, QuickTime is no longer apparently bundled with ITunes, which clearly has its own player. In addition, I have used a minimal install of ITunes. This eliminates the install of the bug-ridden Bonjour service, which was filling up Windows event logs needlessly and crashing from time to time anyway.
Now although I installed ITunes only a few days ago in this new laptop, I did find ITunes in the Programs & Features page and clicked Repair. After the "repair," I played the video revealing the flaws of the ITunes player, and the playback problems were still there. I used the other media player and it played flawlessly.
