IDVD archive failing to capture all files

I understand the difference between saving a iDVD project vs. creating an archive.
I have a project that includes movie, photo and music assets. This project is archived.
When I open this archive in iDVD and then go 'Project -> Project Info', sure enough, assets are located in the 'my project Archived.dvdproj/Contents/etc' (i.e. in the package of the archive)
HOWEVER, one, just one photo from my iPhoto library is still located in ~/Pictures/iphoto_library !!!
Help, why is this archive incomplete ??
Thanks for any insights.
PAC

All,
I have solved this problem myself. It turns out the the photo that would not archive correctly was corrupted. The actual file itself had some form of corruption (and iPhoto showed its 'preview' but would not open that image itself for editing).
I deleted the photo in iPhoto, then replaced it from a backup and bingo, iPhoto could edit it and iMovie would archive correctly.
So : if iMovie archive fails to archive a file, check carefully that this file is present and opens correctly.

Premiere Pro CC Capturing All Files as MP3

I have Premiere Pro CC My capture files are being imported as mp3 files. I have a macbook pro which I am having problems with and I have access to an IMac and the IMac with the same Premiere Pro CC software gives me zero problems. I'm not sure what else to change because simply changing the file name to mpeg or I saw online about an m2ts (I copied it right when I did it) file but that didn't work either. Any suggestions??

Please see this link for possible solutions:

Also, others have found success changing the mp3 files extension from .mp3 to .mpeg or m2ts.

Can anybody tell me if this is correct behavior or am I missing something here ?Calling procedure must terminate before data is actually written to the file.

Huge iDVD archived files

I encoded an iMovie project with iDVD 5. The iMovie DV files are about 7GB, and iDVD can perfectly fit them onto a 4GB DVD. I decided to save the project with the "Archive Project" option with the encoded files. Why does the estimated size to archive the project is over 24GB???

Alxalx,
An Archived project (withe encoded files) contains both the encoded and unencoded versions of all your movies and songs, etc.
So if you have a 7GB movie and the encoded version is 4 GB, you have at least 11GB plus some extra.
The iMovie DV files are about 7GB
Is this the combined size of the iMovie files? Or how many do your have?
If you just want to be able to make copies (but no more edits) you can "Save as Disk Image" This saves the final encoded product only, but cannot be edited/changed and will only be 4GB or smaller.

How to capture all queries in a log file

I need a way to capture all queries fired by all my 200+ DAO java objects easily
in a log file easy debugging purpose.
Any thoughts?

I don't know, I always suppress the html output since the
html it generates isn't W3C-valid in any context I'm designing. I
use swfobject for my flash files -- thanks for the idea, though!
Does it enumerate all URLs that are embedded in a flash file's

Hard drive failing on Macbook 13" OS 10.7.3 Need to xfer all files to an iMAC 21.5. How to do this?

Hard drive failing on Macbook 13" OS 10.7.3 Need to xfer all files to an iMAC 21.5. How to do this?

Can you boot the MacBook into FireWire Target Disk mode? That turns it (temporarily) into an expensive hard drive. You can then move files.
Another way would be to use an external hard drive, attach it to the MacBook and user software such as Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the hard drive (assuming you have sufficient space on the iMac.)
Best of luck. Please keep your data backed up in the future to avoid this. It'll make your life easier.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:

MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

Help! Lost all Captured Video Files Using FCE 3.5 and Lacie 1TB Drive

Hi all...
I was wondering if anyone here could advise me on a most dissapointing occurence...
A few weeks ago, I started learning Final Cut Express 3.5. I began by setting my scratch disk to my new Lacie 1TB drive and loading about 5 tapes to the drive via the capture function in FCE... all went well. I then spent the next couple of days organizing all the clips and subclips into bins that I made based on the kind of clips I had shot (my first doc attempt on a local photographer).
Editing a trailer of sorts to practice in FCE, I slowly but surely came to understand the power and functionality of FCE... things were going well. Along with the clips, I also added folders on the hard drive with still photographs, title cards made in photoshop and sound clips that I had made of traffic noises with a mp3 recorder (all sound files were converted to aiff files in quicktime pro). All these files from the hard drive were then imported into FCE and put into their own bins in the browser to keep them seperate from everything else.
Late last night, while opening FCE for another session, the software reported that all of my video files were "offline" and "did I want to reconnect them". I'd had this warning before, but only when my Lacie drive hadn't been turned on while starting up FCE... this time it was on and I was still getting the reconnect warning.
Now I find that ALL of my video files are gone!! The 200 GB of space they took up on the Lacie drive has been regained... either deleted by FCE or by the drive itself... I don't know which. The weird thing is, that the folders containing the sound, and still photos that i put together are still fine, both on the Lacie drive AND in FCE. You'd think if it was a faulty drive that all files would be deleted, or if it was FCE going beserk, that it would kill all bins, not just the video files...
This issue really is difficult because I just don't know which item is at fault and I'm reluctant to try downloading all my data again because I don't know piece of hardware is killing my files... My FCE is not a pirated copy... am using a mac book pro 15" 2 years old w/OS 10.4.11.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much
Take care
Mark

Problem solved - I had deleted all the necessary preference files. I did not reinstall Quicktime, thanks for the suggestions, though. I called Apple Care. A very helpful person on the other end of the phone directed me to trash the preferences (again). No luck. He asked me to create a new user, which I had not done, the problem was still there. The fix was a reinstall of FCE HD. All's good now. Thanks, Apple Care!

I do not recommend reformatting your harddrive and reloading your software. This is a Windows thing. On an older mac it may be difficult to find all your software again.
Best to have greater than 2gig of free space. Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
Go after large files that you have created & know what they are. Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

Has anyone resolved the problems with using TNSFormat?
As is, I want to move to a shared server setup and to do that I want to use TNSFormat and point to a tns entry which is setup for IPC+Shared connection.
But the Oracle Home that has the Oracle HTTP Server (from the companion CD) does not have SQL*net installed and does not seem to understand TNS.
I have TNS_ADMIN setup, I have ORACLE_HOME_LISTENER poiting to the DB Home.
for the OHS home, using "sqlplus login/pw@ipcshared" works, but "tnsping ipcshared" does not, since tnsping does not exist in the OHS home.
I cannot install SQL*Net from the CD1, since it requires a dedicated/new home and does not want to install in the OHS Home.
The only format that works in a dedicated OHS Home setup is ServiceNameFormat.
Any help or input would be very helpful.
Regards
ps. This is a redhat linux setup.

Reconnect Media - Unable to Reconnect All Files in Relative Path

I have a project that I have restored from a DLT backup. The project file and the all the media are now on a SAN which I access from my G5. Since this project originated on a different editor's computer all of the clips in my project are ostensibly offline within my project. All of the media files are located in a single capture scratch folder on the SAN with the same filenames and reel numbers. As such, I figured that when I used "Reconnect Media" with "Reconnect All Files in Relative Path" checked, all of the files would automatically relink. However, everytime I attempt to do this, the only file that is reconnected is the original file which I manually selected to establish the file path to the rest of my media. If I use the "Search" functionality and instruct FCP to search the capture scratch folder one file at a time, without fail, it will automatically find the media and reconnect it. Yet, I cannot seem to batch reonnect, as it were.
My question is this: If all of the media files are located in the same capture scratch folder (i.e. same relative path), why won't FCP automatically reconnect all the files in that folder to the corresponding offline clips?
I have attempted to reconnect the media on two different machines. The same issue arose on both machines. This leads me to believe that the problem may be a result of some issue with the filesystem on the SAN. Also, I have run FCP rescue and attempted a reconnect with both a clean backup and entirely new preference files, to no avail.

Hi Nat,
I don't have a direct solution, and you might you've been doing this already. Although you didn't describe this. I think that what I would try to do is:
- Copy the project (backup).
- Open the project, and when it tells you that 132 clips and 714 render-files are offline, I'd select the checkboxes in order to 'Forget' the files.
- Hit OK.
- FCP 'forgot' all the links to the original files. So you forced errors from that perspective by doing this.
- Try to reconnect again.
Just a thought...
All the best
Rienk
PS What version FCP are you running?
