Inquiries in general exporting.

Hello all,
I'm really a bonehead when it comes to some things. A while back I tried exporting some stuff, a 30 sec. sequence let's say, to use on a web site. The file was huge, so I tried to export a smaller file but ended up w/ an even larger file. That's just to illustrate how things usually go w/ me.
So...
3 questions in all:
1. How should I approach exporting a good quality video for my sound designer and composer? I know they didn't want quicktime and said something about an .omfi file. The movie, by the way, will be 60-90 min.
2. How do I export something of the utmost quality intended for viewing on perhaps a television using a dvd player? Will I need to author a dvd for this to work?
3. How should I approach exporting a QT movie intended for simple desktop or web-based viewing? I'm talking around 4mb per min, just to give a rough idea.
The forum by the way is amazing. I'm a believer. It's changing my life. It's unloaded, in one day, a load that's been weighing me down for a month. Thanks again everyone for your time.
Ray

Hello again Ray,
1. How should I approach exporting a good quality video for my sound designer and composer? I know they didn't want quicktime and said something about an .omfi file. The movie, by the way, will be 60-90 min.
Actually, they will probably need a QuickTime file - to view your video while they are working on it's audio. (more on that later)
But the filetype they'll need to actually work on is an OMF file. I'll let Larry Jordan teach you how to export an OMF file from FCP.
How do I export something of the utmost quality intended for viewing on perhaps a television using a dvd player? Will I need to author a dvd for this to work?
Yes, you'll need to author a DVD. Lots you can do in terms of DVDs, but Jeff Warmouth provides the steps to create a bare-bones DVD.
How should I approach exporting a QT movie intended for simple desktop or web-based viewing? I'm talking around 4mb per min, just to give a rough idea.
It's a little old now (with the intro of QuickTime 7 'n all) but Ken Stone wrote an excellent article on producing QuickTime movies for the Web that should serve as a good launching pad for you.
(You'll also probably need to give your composer and sound designer QT movies using this method)
Can you tell I'm a devotee of KenStone.net?
Anway, hope that helps...

Causes of "(-301) General export error."

Hi,
I always get an "(-301) General export error." by calling syndication batch:
D:\SAP\MDM\Syndicator Batch>SyndicatorBatch.exe -f D:\Update-Heizkoerper\01.in\test -o -s VM-MDMSP4P1-CK -p 2040 -u kohlerch -r "German [MASTER]" -n UpdateFerts -a MDM
Syndication error.
(-301) General export error.
I double-checked the entries, I also get a connection to the database as you can see by:
D:\SAP\MDM\Syndicator Batch>SyndicatorBatch.exe -f D:\Update-Heizkoerper\01.in\test -o -s VM-MDMSP4P1-CK -p 2040 -u kohlerch -l
Syndication Name Type
UpdateFerts XML
So what else can cause this error? Are there any specific documentation about syndicator batch?
Greetings
Christoph Kohler

Hi,
We created in the console for "German [DE]" a dialect by copying it and rename it to "German [MASTER]".
"German [DE]" (an available language) also doesn't work:
D:\SAP\MDM\Syndicator Batch>SyndicatorBatch.exe -f D:\Update-Heizkoerper\01.in\test -o -s VM-MDMSP4P1-CK -p 2040 -u kohlerch -r "German [DE]" -n UpdateFerts -a MDM
Syndication error.
(-301) General export error.
I checked:
-a "Remote System Names"
-f alternative path name
-r different languages
-n different Export mappings
I just want to unterstand what can cause an General export error.
Thanks Christoph

Batch Syndication General export error.

I am getting the following error message when I do a batch syndication. This is not consistent, but happens about 50% of the time.
Syndication Error.
(-301) General export error.
Any idea on what may be the cause.
Regards,
Simon

This is the info we got from SAP via OSS re this error ...
Summary
Symptom
While using the Syndicator Batch you are receiving general connection errors of the type (-301) General Export Error
Other terms
-301, batch syndicator
Reason and Prerequisites
The Syndicator Batch is running together with the Syndicator Server (batch and auto syndication inside mdss)
OR
The same repository is being processed by two batches
OR
You are syndicating from two different repositories using the same mdss
Solution
The issue is solved in SP04 Patch 2 Hotfix 1, however, if you do not need any ports syndication in parallel to the Syndicator Batch, then set the Auto Syndication parameter 'Auto Syndication Task Enabled' to 'False' in the mdss.ini and in this case you will not need to upgrade to the Hotfix. In case that you do need the ports syndication in parallel and you cannot carry out the upgrade, then you may use a workaround by increasing the Delay parameter in the mdss.ini to a much higher value i.e.3600 sec.

General Export Error 301 while running syndication batch

Hi
When I run the syndication batch for the map of the Customer repository I get an error "General Export Error 301 ".Has anyone faced this problem.Is any configuration needed to be done.The syndication server is running fine..
Is there any blog related to this..
Points will be awarded for useful answers.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You have given port no 2015. Are you sure that the port no of the repository from which you are going to syndicate data is correct.You can check the port no of any MDM repository using MDM console.For this you have to click on the mounted MDM server name.It will display the list of all repositories available on that server with their port numbers.Please confirm port no. is correct.
Also confirm that you are using client system code instead of the client system name.IN addition to this,also check
● Is the target MDM repository loaded?
● Is the port type Outbound?
● Is the ports Processing property set to Automatic?
● Is the port connected to a Syndicator or other MDSS?
● Do the Login and Password values in the mdss.ini file match the Login and Password values for the repository on the MDM Console
You can try one more thing, Just give the command with "-l" option
Hope it will help you.Revert back if you have further queries.
Thanks,
Shiv.

Quicktime error 50 and general export error

Recently finished a project in FCPX (10.0.8) on an iMac running 10.8.3 and am unable to share or export the file in any form.
The project has media from SD and HDV cameras as well as images and an audio track consisting of two non-DRM music files.
Initially I tried sharing to YouTube and got the nefarious error 50. Searched near and far for solutions all of which seem to suggest a corrupt media file of some type. I downloaded ProTools but apparently I have no such corrupt file.
I tried exporting the master file and the process continually aborts at frame 1346 and returns 'error 1'.
I was pretty experienced at FCE and am relatively new to FCPX so any help would be very much appreciated. Hate to have all my work lost.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to a reply on a different thread I was able to get a workaround.
Bought Compressor.

Oh well.

Exporting InDesign Book to Epub (general questions)

Re: InDesign CC
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/article.asp?BaseFolder=prcgen&File=opfguides.htm
http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/article.asp?BaseFolder=prcgen&File=cover.htm
I've created a 366 page book using about 32 individual .indd files and have some general exporting-to-epub questions.
1. Images.
My images are placed .ai and .psd files that have names I can understand, such as picture-of-this.ai and picture-of-that.psd. When InDesign exports to epub, the images are renamed to something that a species whose native language is binary can understand. For example, this and that get renamed to 12345.jpg and 67890.jpg. And then there is also a funky naming convention that keeps the original name but adds _fmt.jpeg to it.
Is it possible for me to export to epub and keep original file names?
2. content.opf metadata
Ultimately my epub needs to be converted into Kindle format. Amazon provides a Kindle Previewer that converts the file into their required .mobi format and that works, but some minor customization is required to get it to work right. The minor customizations include assigning the cover page, the table of contents (toc), and in my opinion, an even more important start page.
My cover page, toc, and start page exist as individual .indd files.
According to the mobipocket references (provided above), I need to add a few items to the content.opf file:
For the cover:
<metadata> <meta name="cover" content="my-cover-image" /> </metadata>
<manifest> <item href="MyCoverImage.jpg" id="my-cover-image" media-type="image/jpeg" /> </manifest>
For the table of contents:
<guide> <reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="mytoc.html"/> </guide>
For the start page:
<guide> <reference type="start" title="Start here" href="starthere.html"/> </guide>
So, I can use Dreamweaver easily enough to open the content.opf file and manually insert those codes, but is there a way I can pre-code their key values into the InDesign page so that they are automatically placed in the proper positions on export?

Hi Michael.
That's a good suggestion about inserting jpg's into the InDesign document and then exporting to epub. I've done that before and it's worked quite well, especially with consideration to file size. However, this particular book has over 130 graphics and it's also going to the printing press... so I'm trying to keep my workload to be as efficient as possible. So you wouldn't have known that, and again, that's a great suggestion.
I have not been able to get that plugin to work, and it's also no longer necessary. Kindle has a previewer that automatically converts the file to .mobi format, and allows the user to view the .mobi file through viewing screens that represent the Kindle device:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765261
Thanks for the info on the ALT text. I need to do that.... I've also looked through the File Info window tabs and did not find any area that seemed to allow me to enter that information.
I have previously created and published on Kindle one book that was one single InDesign file, and as you suggested, had the cover and TOC with everything else. Unfortunately, there too, I had to manually enter the cover, start, and toc code using Dreamweaver.
It looks like at this time there's no easy way to get around manually updating the .html files.
Thanks for making the time to reply.

Error while generating export datasource in Test and Prod system

Hi experts,
I tried to generate export datasorce on a cube in teh testing system so that i can use this as a datasource for another cube. I did this so that i can transport all teh relevnt objects from D to T. But Iam gettin teh following erro msg
System setting does not allow changes to be made to object ISTD 80CRM_PRI.
while Prod system produces teh follwoing error msg
Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted
Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel'.
After i have done this and when i go to the context menu of teh infocube i can see maintain export datasource option.
Also I couldn't see the infosource generated in Infosources ( FYI I have already done display generated objects under settings)
Can anyone tell me how to proceed further.
Thanks,
DV

Hi DV,
Generally export datasource are not included in the request from the test server. It gets generated automatically when (ODS,Cube) based on which the datasource s transported to production / quality .
I think solution should be try not to include export datasource, infosource ,transfer rules to request from dev server.
Hope that helps.

Import and Export of Webdyn pro development components

Hi
I am having a problem in importing a development component.
When a component has to be transfered from one NWDS to another NWDS i generally export the development component as a zip file. How do i import the Zip file into other NWDS. I tried the import option but the import is not proper.
Any other way of exporting and importing development components ?
Regards
NagaKishore

Hi Karin,
I faced a similar problem some time back. I unzipped the project and then imported it. But what i found is that in the webdynpro explorer i could not find the nodes for Public parts and so which are specific to DC projects.

How to export videos in good quality?

hi,
this is my first post on this discussion board, so please be understanding.
ok, so i have to prepare lot of videos for web, in Final Cut Express. mainly interviews, which are about 3 minutes to 5 minutes long max. on the other hand, i have restriction, that this videos should have max. 10 mb weight.
and me questions is, how to make it? Of course i want good quality!
how to do export, which setting i should customize?
or maybe which another program i should use to convert it later?
i'll be very thankful if You will write a little explanation!

Generally, exporting to H.264 or MP4 will give you the smallest file sizes. Plus, most web videos are not full screen and are at slower frame rates than regular video. You will have to experiment with some of the settings.
Export to QuickTime Conversion, select the H.264 or MP4 codec, try a couple of different options. First, reduce the size to 320x240 or smaller. See if that gives you the target file size. If not, try a smaller size. Then, if you still need to reduce the file size, try reducing the frame rate. Only change one thing at a time until you get the file size you need.

Tab as export delimiter

Is it possible to make the tab character the export delimiter for SQL Developer?
If so, how?
Thanks, Tracey
I found it under:
Preferences>Database>Worksheet Parameters>General Export Parameters:
Column Delimiter Custom Export Delimiter [,]
I just downloaded SQL Developer 1.2.1 and:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition with Application Express 2.1.0.00.39

Export in Text format instead of CSV.

Exports process in cin

hai gurus
can any bady give me the in detail export process and types of export process in cin
thanks

Dear Nitchel
Please don't post such a generic question. What exactly you want??
For information, in general, exports can be classified as
a) Direct Exports
Manufacturing Plants will exports their products directly to overseas customers
b) Indirect Exports
This can further be classified as "Exports Merchant" and "Export Agent".
Export Merchant
Export Merchant, this is a trading company that will buy the local firm's goods outright and assume the risk of being able to resell them profitably abroad.
The export merchant usually specializes in a particular line of products and/or in a particular geographical market area. Sometime it sells the goods with the original supplier's labels or puts its own label.
Export Agent
An export agent, is a trading company that acts for local manufacturers, usually representing a number of non-competing manufacturers.
In return for obtaining export order from abroad, the export agent receives a commission.
Unlike the export merchant, the agent does not become the owner of the goods and therefore does not assume the risk of not being able to sell them abroad.
c) Deemed Exports
"Deemed Exports" refers to those transactions in which the goods supplied do not leave the country and the payment for such supplies is received either in Indian rupees or in free foreign exchange.
Thanks

Export tables to excel

I had the free trial of Acrobat 9 pro and I was able to export tables to Excel without any issues. Bought Acrobat 9 and now I am not able to get the tables exported. Does anybody have any suggestions? Is pro that much better for exporting tables?

The trial and full version are identical except for the licensing aspect. General export to Excel was not available until AA XI, so I am not quite sure how you were exporting. In XI, it is simply going to File>Save As>SpreadSheet. In AA 9, the typical process was to select the columns desired with the select tool (use the alt key to allow the selection) and copy the columns to Excel. Adobe has not sold AA 9 for over 4 years as I recall. I did finally get AA 9 to come up on a machine and they did have a save as/export to XML (spreadsheet). However, the use of the alt key with the select also worked. As I recall, there was a way to copy in multiple columns too, but I am too rusty with 9 to remember.
The problem may be the format of what you are trying to export. You did not indicate what the problem of the export was and so it is hard to judge. What specifically is happening when you try to export a table. A screen shot might help.

How to export a table with BLOBs

Thanks!

Exporting chronologically by capture time without having to rename files

Is there any way to export files by capture time without having to rename all the files? Right now they are always rearranged numerically by the file name and get all mixed up chronologically.
Thanks, Kinsey

Although it may not be of help to you, it happens that Jeffrey Friedl's "Export to Zenfolio" (Lightroom plugin) provides the option to keep the destination folder (Gallery) sorted according to various criteria, such as creation date, etc. This would do what you want, but unfortunately this doesn't work for general export (e.g., to disk). I'm not aware if anyone's written a plugin that does export file-sorting for "general" export.
Friedl also has written "Export to..." plugins for Smugmug, Picassa, Flickr, and Facebook, although I don't know if all (or any) of these have the same gallery sorting options as in his excellent Zenfolio export plugin.
