Importing Assets and Timeline problem

Hello I have just purchased and installed Encore DVD 2.0 (inside Production Studio), so I am a novice. I have several movies/ shows/ etc. I created by using the Record TV in the Media Center Edition 2005 software. I've converted the DVR-MS file type to Mpeg2 using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.0/VideoWave 7.0.
Using Encore DVD 2.0 I tried Importing MPEG2 file using Import as --> Assets and Timeline. It looked like the importing was moving along the progress bar reaching approx. 3/4 point. Then it restarts the importing process again reaching the 3/4 point again stopping with a popup box appears with the text message, "Stream Requested Does Not Exist". When I click the "Ok" button the importing process stops. What can I do to get Encore DVD 2.0 to work properly? Am I doing anything wrong?
My Computer is a HP Digital Entertainment Center Z555 using XP Media Edition Center 2005.

2.5 Giga PC3200 DDR Memory
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 PCI-Express graphics card
250GB 7200rpm Serial ATA hard drive

As far as I'm aware, Nero is just fine as long as you don't create DVD-Video with it, as there was a bug with this when it seemed to not set the correct start sectors for the IFO & BUP files.
It's just fine for burning from ISO images, and for all other tasks though.
And that bug may well have been squashed by now.
Lots of people use Nero with no troubles at all - it's not my personal choice, but that means nothing.
It's certainly far superior to Roxio.
I'm actually quite surprised that Roxio & Nero are actually playing nice on the same system!
The only possible other "Gotcha" with Nero is the packet writing utility. Do not install this - it can and does interfere with burning DVD, as Packet writing works by helpfully "looking" at your burner(s) on a regular basis to "see" if there is any blank media inserted, and it will offer to format this & use it as a drag n drop type writing utility. It's called "InCD", and if already present should be uninstalled.
There is a list of stuff that is known to cause problems - some occasional, some constant - with DVD authoring at
Neil Wilkes, "Things and Software to avoid when authoring for DVD-V" #, 13 Feb 2006 6:43 am
Additionally, the utilities included with Nero are generally of a much better standard than those with Roxio.
Nero Recode, for example, has been praised in many forums.
There are a lot of users who swear by Nero, whereas there are a lot who swear
i at
Roxio!
Hope this helps.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

    I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

    What are the attributes of your PVR video...
    specifically, is it variable frame rate?

  • Lost IPTC meta data on TIFF import -- old and unsolved problem?

    Hi,
    this is my first post, after using Aperture on a casual basis for 7 months.
    Browsing the forum I found the same problem in older threads but the solutions do not help in my case: When I export pictures with IPTC I set in Graphic Converter, metadata will be imported from the RAW (NEC from a Nikon D80) and from JPEG files, but not from the TIFF, whatever encoding or byte order I choose.
    Any help in that matter?
    Thanks,

    You didn't say which version of Aperture you are using. Up until the recent updates I found Aperture missed, or cut off, a log of IPTC data when I imported RAW files. This seems to be solved with the current version, but ratings still don't get imported.
    I used Annoture (http://www.tow.com/annoture/) to copy over the data. I would import the images into Aperture, then also into iView Media Pro. I'd select all the images in Aperture and then run Annoture. Annoture would take all the IPTC data from the iView catalogue and copy them to the selected images in Aperture (also works on selected projects I think).
    It's a long winded solution, but did the job.

  • Various bugs – Library view issue / import and copy problem / unsupported paths message

    In addition to the issues reported in a separate thread regarding importing video, there are several other bugs that are preventing me from progressing on a project and/or indicate instability in Edge Animate.  These issues don’t occur on new projects (yet), but are present in my current composition.
    I'm using the latest version of Edge Animate CC 2014 (2014.1.1) on a Windows 8 Pro (fully updated) system.
    Issue 1 – Library View
    For all the assets that have been imported, when I twirl down to view the thumbnail of each asset in the Library, nothing appears in the thumbnail area.  In earlier iterations of this project, all the items appeared correctly, but now nothing is there for any of the assets.  See sample below of what should appear (and what was there before), and what’s there now (nothing).
    Issue 2 – Asset Import Problem
    When I try to add an already imported image asset to the stage (or try to import a new image asset in the project), the item doesn’t appear properly – it just comes in as a dot with no height or width.  See samples below of what the imported asset looks like on the stage and its size information.
    Assets that were imported and placed before this bug occurred are still visible on the stage. But, if I copy one of these assets, the copy retains the size information, but does not appear at all. See sample.
    Issue 3 – Unsupported Paths message
    When I close the project, I get an unsupported paths message.  See sample.
    Despite this message, the assets appear in the project from within Edge and are present in the project if I open/preview the HTML file in my browser.
    Since these three issues relate to project assets, perhaps they are related.  I can provide a link to download this project if you like. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Avinash,
    I'm glad you received the (large) project.
    In the meantime, I installed Edge Animate on another system (OS - Windows 8.1).  The Edge project exhibits the same problems on the other system.
    Thanks for looking into this!

    The message above is the message I get when I import a movie file made in Adobe Premier (apple) and re-coded to H 264 @1280 X 720 QT.  The QT inspector information is identical to other files with the same inspector information (made the same way).  FYI-I have no problem importing movie files right out of Premier. 
    Have tried everything I can think of - still no import.
    Please jumpin if you please.

    Dang, I thought I had mentioned that it is DVD Pro Studio 3.  I did finally figure out my problem.  I grabed the mpeg2 file that produced by using QT High D and that would go in amongst the Quicktime movies, much to my amazment.  So, what is the "Other Pro Video"?  I don't need to visit this site very much, all has way changed, but had I mentioned I was talking about a Mac product, I'm sure that would have made things clearer.  I knew it wasn't for Adobe Premirer, but yea, I'm still using it.

  • CS5.5 Import for runtime sharing and preview problem

    Hello
    I'm having a strange issue with CS5.5 and the import for runtime sharing settings. Here's what I'm doing: I create two .fla's, Export.fla and Import.fla. In Export.fla, I create a shape, select it, press F8 and tick export for runtime sharing, to create a really simple exported movie clip. I click the exported symbol in the library, press Ctrl-C, switch to Import.fla and press Ctrl-V. Everything ok so far, the symbol is imported for runtime sharing.
    The first problem I have at this stage is that changes I do to the exported symbol in Export.fla are not reflected in Import.fla, only in the final .swf's I can see the changes. Also, unlike in CS4 and CS5 I cannot "Update" the imported symbol in the library right-click menu, to make changes to Export.fla visible in Import.fla. The menu entry is just greyed out...
    So I tried to use Authortime sharing, in the Symbol Properties for the imported symbol in Import.fla. I link the source to the symbol in Export.fla, and once I do that, everything is completely borked. The previously imported symbol is no longer imported. Whenever it is changed in Export.fla, it gets an "Export for Runtime Sharing" tick in its Properties in Import.fla, and worst, it is not shared at runtime, like I need it to.
    Can anyone tell me how to get the "normal" CS/4/5 behaviour in CS5.5: a runtime shared symbol, that can be updated in Import.fla (I dont care if manually or auotmatically) when I change it in Export.fla, and which also is runtime shared?
    Cheers
    Ulf

    Hi, JonnyDiamond
    Thank you for reporting the issue for runtime sharing settings affected by authortime sharing. It is fixed for parent symbols in Flash Pro CS6, but we just recognized it is not for nested items.
    As an alternative to deleting and re-copying the symbol, we see the following steps restore the original settings of the nested bitmap symbol (png in your case) for importing runtime shared library. After you open Bitmap Properties dialog of the bitmap symbol, go to ActionScript section and:
    1. Uncheck Export for ActionScript
    2. Check Import for runtime sharing
    3. Input the path to Library.swf in URL
    4. Click OK twice
    Please try these steps to see if they work for you. If they do, the simalr steps can be processed via JSFL script. It would be something like this:
    //// To restore the settings to import runtime shared library //////
    // Get Library items
    var myItems = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items;
    // Store an item from myItems
    var myItem;
    // Path to runtime shared library. Change this to your path
    var pathToRSL = "Library.swf";
    // Go through Library
    for (var i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++)
              myItem = myItems[i];
      // Change the condition to suit to your Library
              if(myItem.itemType == "bitmap" &&
                 myItem.name.split(".").pop() == "png" &&
                 myItem.linkageExportForRS == true )
        switchRSSettings(pathToRSL);
    // Disable Export for runtime sharing and
    // enable Import for runtime sharing
    function switchRSSettings(path)
              myItem.linkageExportForRS = false;
              myItem.linkageExportInFirstFrame = false;
              myItem.linkageExportForAS = false;
              myItem.linkageImportForRS = true;
              myItem.linkageURL = path;
    ///////////////////////// End of Script ////////////////////
    We hope this would help you workaround the issue. Again, thank you for your report!
    Thanks

  • I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

    I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

    The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
    iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

    My BP530 is hooked up to my stereo digital coax to digital coax but I cannot get any 5.1 sound at all. Not through any of the digital channels on the stereo at all.
    The player only comes through as standard stereo through all 4 speakers and I am not sure if it is coming through the base speaker at all.
    I have tried every setting on both the TV and the blue ray player to no avail. I have even tried to not use the digital on my blue ray but when the stereo is set to play from my tv optical I still don't get 5.1 sound.
    When I do not use the TV optical out but I do use the digital coax out from the DVD player I still cannot play my DVDs in 5.1. I have new HDMI 15gbps HDMI cables and a new digital coaxial cable so I don't think it is a cable thing.
    The real question is how do I get to hear my blue ray and DVD discs in 5.1 sound? Will this work if I exchange my blue ray player for a Denon 3D blue ray or other player?

  • Moving and renaming newly imported assets

    I work at a small college tv studio and am trying to deploy a Final Cut Server setup. One of the requirements of our setup is to have an actual file structure for our footage so that it is not all thrown into one folder by FCS.
    I'm very new to FCS, but I understand how the system works from a general standpoint. Here's what I'm trying to do:
    1) Import assets into FCS using the client app, choosing a category (like "B-Roll") in a metadata field or lookup
    2) Setting up an automation to Move the asset to a folder called B-Roll on the device.
    3) Rename the asset filename based on other metadata fields (e.g. "CampusExteriorLibrary030420111510.mov")
    I'm pretty sure I could do 1 & 2 by simply setting up an Automation for each category to Copy the asset to that folder and then Delete the original, but I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish #3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Also, I understand that it's best to have FCS manage the files itself, and I will NOT be allowing anyone Finder access to the structure. I want the file structure their for safety purposes (FCS server dies, user readable backups of footage).

    In order to have a "backup" plan in case the final cut server dies, you are setting yourself up for a convoluted and tedious workflow. Basically you are shooting yourself in the foot before you even start. The faster you wean yourself and users off the folder structure mentality, the more powerful your Final Cut Server installation will be.
    If your clients will be checking out projects with media ( it appears you don't have a SAN in place ) your folder structure will not make any effect for users anyway, since all the files will be cached locally.
    Just do your metadata logging on the upload or with Final Cut Pro.

When I code supporting classes and beans for my JSPs I get a code 500 internal server error when trying to import (via <%@ page import="class" %> and <jsp:useBean/>) Im storing my classes and beans in the WEB-INF folder and the calling JSPs are located in /ROOT/tests/8/jsp.jsp. Im using the following to import a class or bean:
    <%@ import="aClass" %>
    Seen as tho its in the WEB-INF folder I won't have to explicitly refer to where the class is located, just the class name.
    I never had this problem when I was using my hosting service. Its only on my localhost server in which I get the Internal Server error.
    Help appreciated, thx.

  • IMPORT and EXPORT PROBLEM

    Hi All
    I have a problem.I need to export the data and then import it inot another database.I used imp and exp file but it is not exp and imp data but exp and imp database structure,triggers,procedure etc but not data
    Please tell me how should i proceed.
    Thanx
    Manoj

    When you export, it will list all of the table structures that you are exporting. You can limit some of the other information that it exports by setting parameters.
    I assume that the database you want to import into already has all of the table structures and grants.
    When you export, set the following parameters:
    GRANTS=N
    INDEXES=N
    CONSTRAINTS=N
    TRIGGERS=N
    The default for exporting data is Y so you don't need to include that.
    It will still export the table structures but you can ignore them on import.
    Then on import, set the following parameters:
    GRANTS=N
    INDEXES=N
    CONSTRAINTS=N
    IGNORE=Y
    The default for importing data is Y so you don't need to include that.
    That will import data and not import table structures unless there is a new table in the database that you export from.
    Another option that might help is to export by using a table list. This will eliminate the issue of export procedures.

  • Timeline - Cannot Move Tracks and Display Problem

    I've created about a ten-minute timeline that I'd really prefer not to toss out because a lot of work went into creating parts of it and getting the timing right with the music, etc. When I first open the project in Premiere Elements, everything seems okay - my timeline plays with all transitions and I can scroll around in the timeline. However, I appear to have done something where whenever I click and drag to try to move a track, the timeline goes insane. I get a circle with a line through it for a cursor and a blank tooltip window, whether I try to drag the track horizontally or vertically. After that, while the timeline will still play, the timeline itself gets all wonky in its display, almost as if the video isn't refreshing on it. (It's kind of like the timeline has crashed.) I attached a screenshot of what it looks like. Whenever I move my cursor to the edge of the timeline, the timeline scrolls in that direction.
    I'm running Premiere Elements 7 Educational Version on  a Core 2 Duo laptop with 3GB RAM, an Intel 965 graphics chip (latest Intel drivers are installed), and Vista Business 32-bit. The clips are from a standard DV cam (not HD), and there are some PNG format stills and MP3 sounds mixed in there as well. There are three active A/V tracks. I think that's all the relevant information, but ask me if you need more.
    Can anyone tell me what I've done and/or how to fix this?

    Good morning every one!
    The bad news: As expected the problem does still occur. The good news: I was able to track it down to one clip in the timeline.
    To save others time, I will described what I have evaluated quite detailed in the following paragraphs...
    As it seemed to me that deactivating the Windows indexing service made the usage of PrE more stable I thought that maybe file locks would cause the trouble. So I verified this by opening the project in PrE, writing and executing a small Java application that puts an exclusive file lock on one of the files from the project and tried to move the according clip in the timeline. It worked without any problems and the known symptoms did not occur. So we can put aside the file locks.
    Afterwards I tried to reproduce the problem by playing around with the scene that caused problems last week. I tried by moving around the video clips and the problem did not occur. Then I remembered my statement I have made earlier, that the problems seemed to occur as I started to work with titles and music clips -- and bingo: I have three music clips in my "soundtrack" track and one of them seems to cause the whole trouble. After I have clicked on this specific music clip, the problem occurs and it is no longer possible to move anything in the timeline and the strange behaviour regarding the automatic scrolling when the cursor is at the left/right etch is activated.
    It was easily reproducable: Restart PrE, open my project, move a video clip to verify that moving clips works, click on the specific music clip and the problem occurs. I have tried this several times and each time the problem occured. When I clicked on one of my other two music clips everything was fine -- same for the video clips I tried. So in my case it seems to be this single clip.
    OK, what's specific regarding this clip: All my music files are placed on a share on my Windows home server (in contrast to the video footage which is located on the local HD). So I moved the "dangerous" music file to the local HD, changed the path to the file with a text editor directly in the PrE project file (which is a simple XML file) and started up PrE again. I verified that PrE takes the file from the local HD (server was down), but the problem did still occur. So it is not a network issue.
    The next specific thing is, that this music file is the only file in my project which is a .wma-file -- the others are .mp3-files. So I did three things:
    At first I downloaded the project file provided by SQFreak2 in this thread and checked whether he is also using .wma-files. The result: He does not use them.
    As the second thing I again changed my project file in the text editor: I changed the path of the music clip to some other .mp3-file. Afterwards I opened up PrE with that project file, used the playback to verify that the other music file is referenced by the clip instead of the original wma-file and then tried to move the clip -- again the symptoms occured.
    As the last step I created a new project, added the "problematic" wma-file, placed it on the "soundtrack" track and afterwards tried to move it. The result: No problems at all.
    So it neither seems to be a generic problem with wma-files nor does it seem to be a file-specific problem at all.
    Lets summarize the things from above: File locks do not cause any trouble. In my project a single audio clip seems to cause the problem. The problem seems to be caused by the clip and not the file referenced by the clip (no matter whether local or server based, wma or mp3, the problem occurs in every case).
    What I have learned? Well, I am not sure. But in the meanwhile I am quite sure, that it hasn't to do anything with hardware and drivers, but that we are dealing with a bug in PrE that occurs in specific project cirumstances.
    This morning I have got some additional ideas I would like to try to track the problem down (e.g. the problematic clip has a transition for a fade out in the end [when I did this I didn't knew, that a fade out could be easily achieved in the clip's properties] -- I will try to remove this one and look what will happen).
    P.S.: In one of my earlier posts I stated the assumption that the problem occurs as soon as I move the mouse cursor over the vertical scroll bar of the timeline -- but this is definitely not the case.

  • Problem with 'Import Asset' after SuperDrive replacement

    Hello. My SuperDrive was dead earlier this year and I replaced it last month. Ever since, I have been having trouble doing 'Import Asset' on DVD Studio Pro. Whenever I try to import a QuickTime(.mov) file, a message of "Incompatible Format" will pop up thus stop me from importing anything.
    Could someone help me with this please? Any ways to fix it? Thank you.

    Dear David,
    Thank you for answering my question. Would you suggest me to reinstall DVDSP? I installed everything as a chunk with my Final Cut Studio discs. Can I reinstall it individually?
    My DVDSP worked fine until my Superdrive crashed earlier this January. It has been like that ever since, even after the drive was fixed. I can burn DVD directly without DVDSP. I am sure DVDSP can burn DVD too, but I don't know what happened and now the "import asset" function won't work anymore. I don't know what to do.

  • When I import audio and move it into my timeline the project will no longer play?
