Importing and using mpeg2 files

I'm new to this wild world of video, but I have a large amount of mpeg2 files on my computer. Should I convert them to another format before working with them in Final Cut? I'm having problems with the in and out function not being exactly on the frames I want when I insert a clip. They're always a bit off. SO, does working with mpeg2 files makes as much sence as other formats? Thanks!
-David

Yes you'd be best converting them. Use something like MPEG Streamclip to open the mpeg2 files and export to quicktime movie using the DV codec and uncompressed audio

Can't import and export MPEG2 files in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

I don't know when started, but a few days ago my Premiere Pro and After Effects don't recognise MPEG2 files.
When I try to open a Premiere Pro with a MPEG2 file in it: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec be associated with this sequence types"

Just to verify that the files are not corrupt...
Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen

Also... does your PPro show the option to de-activate? (having the de-activate option available means your version has not "lost" activation)

How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:

Here's some info on working with plists:

They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

I used the utility, MozBackup.exe, to create: Firefox___.pcv and Thunderbird___.pcv. How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru

Firefox Team,
I used the utility, MozBackup.exe, to create:
Firefox 3.6 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv
Thunderbird 13.0.1 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv
How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru?
Thanks in Advance,
Kenny

You are giving conflicting information
Your question started with "How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru? "
Then you said:
"Autodesk's legal department threatened me with a law suit, because my domain name had “AutoCAD in it. So I change it to ProCADGuru. I created” Firefox 3.6 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv and Thunderbird 13.0.1 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv to back everything up. Now I need to know how to use them to restore all of that saved data and update it to my new domain. "
Then you said:
"How do I import or use these files to update from www.AutoCADGuru.com to www.ProCADGuru.com?"
So all that you have explained so far has been about closing down one webhost and moving to another, which has nothing to do with Firefox or Thunderbird.
Then today you say:
"I need to know how to use these to restore all of my Address books, email books, sent, saved, and settings for both Firefox and Thunderbird. "
What is the problem you are trying to solve here? is this about transferring Email settings in Thunderbird, Bookmarks in Firefox, moving a website from one host to another, or something totally different?

Import and use custom Illustrator Symbol Library in Photoshop?

I would like to import and use my own (project-specific) Illustrator Symbol Libraries in Photoshop
Background info
- I create BIG amounts of assets (for UI design) in Adobe Illustrator which I save as Symbols.
- I store these symbols in a custom symbol library so I can re-use them in a different file
- Reason A: to be able to re-use these symbols within the Illustrator file to visualize different "interaction flows" to my clients
- Reason B: I use vector assets because they allow me to accomodate for different screen resolutions in the future
Wish
A: I would like to be able to open the same symbol library I created in Illustrator in Photoshop and drag the symbols onto my Photoshop canvas
B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file
Question
- Does anyone know of a way to do this? A work-around, a plugin or a Script would be fine too...
regards, Koen

B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file

But that is for placed Smart Objects, and would affect changed Symbols in ai-files naturally only if there were instances of them in the document.
Basically I find what you are asking pretty unrealistic* and would be surprised if an easy solution would be forthcoming.
Scripting might offer possible work-arounds that use BridgeTalk to get Illustrator content over to Photoshop, but that would probably be slow and not meet what you are expecting.
The possibly easiest approach might be to have a Script create a new Layer and place one Symbol on it for each one of the Symbols in Illustrator, then save a psd with Layers.
Why do you need the Symbols in Photoshop anyway, if I may ask?
Edit: *) unrealistic in terms of the functionality currently being realizable with a reasonable expenditure of resources; but I’m admittedly a layman with regard to that.

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
Thanks for your help in advance.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

Receiver File adapter : two choices "Directly" and "Use Temporarly file" ?

Hi All,
I am writing the file into a folder and I want to write the file completely into the folder.Once the file is placed , one tool will be keep on picking files every second from this folder.So I need to put the file after filling entire data.
In the File adapter, the put file option has two choices "Directly" and "Use Temporarly file".
"Directly" option will serve my purpose?
Which option I need to keep for Empty-Message Handling "Write Empty file" or "Ignore"?
Thanks
Seema

Hi Mohamad,
>> You need to place in the some other folder and do the transfer completely and move the file to desired location using command line parameters as recommended in the previous answers.
I will be posting all the files as .txt files. Can we move the file by using command line parameters for FTP connection?
I heard that we can get do it only for NFS and we cannot do for FTP connection.?
Can you please suggest the command line how to use it.
Thanks

Cycle Counts, import and use

I see that when importing to the oItems destination via DTW, it is possible to bring in Cycle Count info. There is no sample or template CycleCount sheet, so what I know I gleaned just from looking at the mappable fields in DTW.
Can anyone give me some tips about importing and using Cycle Counts? I confess I find updating any destination via DTW to be a real chore, frequently more work that it is worth.
In this instance I already have items and warehouses and prices and quantities on hand. All I would want to do is import Cycle Count fields. So in DTW would this be considered an update (of existing items) or an import (just of cycle counts)? Since I don't want to change anything for the items, warehouses, or prices, what would be the least amount of data I'd have to show for the already ready loaded areas to get the cycle counts in?
TIA.

By Cycle Counts If you talking about importing prices and quantities
You need to use DTW template StockTaking template inside folder oStockTaking.
Here you will enter ItemCode WH and Quantity
the Prices will be imported using the ItemPrices template in the oItems folder as an Update with the Item main template.
then you will through the Inventory > Inventory Trans > Initial Quantity Reconcile the Quantities imported

Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

Hi,
Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad? Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
Thanks.

Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
Click once on that & type your title.
This works for any item, video or photo.

Hi user450616
I am a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve.
Are you:
1. importing a CSV file into APEX
2. adding an extra column to the Oracle Table
3. populating the extra column with the CSV filename?
Let us know if this is what you are trying to do.

How To Use mpeg2 Files ?

I have used TiVo Decode Manager for years to transfer files from my TiVo unit to my computer. I've always transfered into the mp4 format, for use in iTunes and on my iPod. I just noticed an option to transfer into the mpeg2 format, which I understand is used for compression on DVD's. I can't seem to import the mpeg2 file into iDVD, and when burned to disc, the raw file plays audio but not video on my stand-alone DVD player. How might I use the mpeg2 file in iDVD to create a finished DVD? Thanks for any help.

DVDSP and Toast Support adding Mpeg-2 files but unfortunately iDvd will not. Per the following KB article from apple's web site:
You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6655.html
But you can use Toast. The Help Menu within Toast 9 states the following:
You can add any QuickTime-supported video files, such as DV, AVI,
MOV, HDV (1080i/720p), and MPEG-4. You can also add files that
QuickTime doesn’t support such as iMovie HD projects, MPEG-2,
DivX, Eye-TV recorded shows, and TiVoToGoTM transfers.
And of course Apple's DVDSP offers native support of Mpeg-2 but it's much more expensive and takes significantly longer to learn than the other option/s offered above.
Other viable options include Visual Hub and MpegStreamclip (free download):
OVERVIEW OF MPEG STREAMCLIP
MPEG Streamclip is a converter, an exporter, a player, an editor, a downloader.
It can open many file formats: muxed files MPEG, MPG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, DCM, VDR, PVR; transport streams TS, M2T, MTS, MMV, REC, VID, AUD, AVR, TP, TP0, TRP, TOD; demuxed files M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, AIF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3; QuickTime-compatible files MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, DIVX, WMV, FLV; pictures TIFF, JPEG.
MPEG Streamclip supports MPEG-1 video, MPEG layer 1/2 audio, AC3/A52 audio and PCM audio. MPEG-2 video is supported in conversions, but for playback and export you have to buy the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) from Apple.
To open DivX files, you have to install one of the free DivX-compatible codecs (DivX 5 or 6, 3ivx, XviD).
To open WMV files, you can install the free Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.flip4mac.com/ . Export to WMV is supported if you buy Flip4Mac WMV Studio.
To open FLV files you have to install Perian, a free codec pack, from http://www.perian.org/. But note that currently, Perian does not "obsolete" or replace other codecs so you still have to install 3ivx, DivX, XviD when required.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.
