Inserting a 3:2 cadence for converting 23,98fps to 29,98fps?

Hello Everyone!
I‘m working on a Pal DVD-Project, which will be also built as a NTSC-DVD.
For converting the footage I found this article very helpful. The „Slow-PAL“- method: http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
The only step I couldn‘t accomplish was „Step 4”. The author outputs via firewire-deck to
insert the 3:2 cadence for converting 23,98fps to 29,98fps. I’m authoring a DVD and do not have an NTSC compatible deck or camera so I need to find an export option rather than print to tape.
Maybe there are shortcuts or better methods, because the article was published back in march 2006.
I got FCP 7, Compressor3, CinemaTools4 und DVDSP 4!
And is there a option to save my frame accurate chaptermarkers during the whole process?!
Thanks for any help/advice.

Final Cut Pro can NOT do this. This is a question for the Compressor forum.
Compressor can do this but, saying you want a 3:2 pull-down to go from PAL to NTSC is not quite right. 3:2 pull-down is ONLY for going from 23.976 to 29.97, You want to go from 25 to 29.97 fps. Also, even though Compressor can do this, using dedicated hardware convertors is a MUCH higher quality process.
Export a self-contained movie file from FCP (with chapter markers) for use in Compressor.
In Compressor find a NTSC Apple preset similar to what you exported (i.e. DV NTSC) and make a duplicate. Open the new preset and under the Encoder section, confirm the Video Settings frame rate to be 29.97. Under the Frame Controls section, turn On Frame Controls, under Rate Conversion select Best (High quality motion compensated), and Set Duration to: 100% of source.
Once this process of converting PAL to NTSC is finished you can then use a DVD preset to create your MPEG-2 and AC3 audio files for building the DVD

Best video Hardware/software for converting VHS DVD and others on Mac?

Hello,
I am having problems finding some much needed details on what the best software/hardware is for converting video formats on a Mac. I should note I am using a NEW iMac 4GB memory and Leopard OS so what I use needs to be compatible. Perhaps next year I will get a Mac Pro, but for now I'm using this setup. Here's is what I need to do:
1. Transfer old VHS tapes (home movies and such) to DVD. I need to be able to use DL DVD discs for my recordings so I don't have to switch DVDs. In other words make them just like the DVDs you play that you buy. Therefore, they also must be able to playback in home theater DVD players, not just on the computer. I would assume the best way as for encoding is to get the VHS tape in digital format on the hard drive, then use the codecs to turn them into DVDs?
2. Once on the hard drive I also need to convert them to a format neutral playback on both the Mac and PC. What is the best, MPEG 4?
3. The ability to do some nice editing of making bookmarks, chapters and thumbnails for the DVD menu and divisions I wish to make. In other words, if I have a home movie containing my Summer and Winter vacation, I want to insert bookmarks at points to skip to like in a movie DVD and also have a thumbnail of it just like DVD movies does.
4. A nice MAIN menu for the DVD that will let me hit the main categories, not just chapters for the TOP level DVD menu. Such as Summer Vacation, Winter vacation.
5. The software should be easy to use so I don't have to take a HUGE crash course requiring lots of work making the project a chore. Also, I don't want or need a professional package, just something simple that is less than $200 per software program. Not the expensive $500+ software options for movie makers.
Thank you for any tips and advice on this matter.

"Best software/hardware" depends on your exact needs & wants.
One simple way to transfer your VHS tapes to DVD is with a *DVD Recorder*. Many of these come with VHS and DVD decks already built in. Insert your VHS tape, a blank DVD, hit record and off it goes. When finished, you have a playable DVD.
To transfer your VHS tapes to DV for editing you will need a converter. The *Canopus ADVC-110* is a very nice, relatively inexpensive device that will do that job for you. (It's also possible to use most modern DV camcorders as converters, too.) You would connect your VHS deck to the Canopus box via their analog video & audio connections, then connect the Canopus box via FW to your Mac, and then when you play the VHS tape you would capture the video in iMovie or FCE.
Once your videos are captured on your Mac, you could use iMovie or *Final Cut Express* to do whatever editing you might want to do. Regardless of which one you edit with, however, it's iDVD that you would use to create your DVD menus and burn your DVDs.
So, overall, the workflow would be like this: *VHS Deck > Converter (camcorder or converter box) > Capture on Mac (iMovie or FCE) > Editing application (iMovie or FCE) > iDVD > DVD*
For playback on computers MPEG4 would be an ok choice, H.264 is probably a better choice, and then there's the matter of whether or not you want to export as a QuickTime movie and/or AVI.
iLife came with your Mac, so you already have iMovie and iDVD. How about giving them a try before you consider investing in a significantly more sophisticated application like Final Cut Express. (just my opinion)

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Solution for converting the UFF58--- UFF58b or UFF Ascii.

Dear all,
Rightnow, I'm working on vibration analysis by using LV signal express
2010 which seem can be exported the measurement file as the UFF58. (Universal
File Format)
but my problem is; I have to use this measurement file with another program which accept only the UFF58b and UFF Ascii format.
I try to find solutions for convert UFF58--->UFF58b or UFF Ascii. Does anyone have an idea? Please help.
Thank you in advance.

It looks like the LabVIEW Sound and Measurement Suite would do the trick, or possibly Diadem, though I'm not sure if you have LabVIEW. What program are you trying to open the file with? It may also have a package you can download that supports all of the formats. For instance, there appears to be a UFF file reader and writer if you Google "uff files" in the top result, but that's only if you were using a specific program. But I suppose the easiest way would be if you already had the Sound and Measurement Suite.

Try this way:
CONVERT TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz> INTO DATE <d> TIME <t>.
CONVERT DATE <d> TIME <t> INTO TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz>.
<tst> is of type P(8) or P(11) with 7 decimal places
<tz> of type C(6)

Call Pipeline in orchestration for converting XML to flat file

Hi ,
Can we call Pipeline in orchestration for converting XML to flat file ?
Or we have some another option for this task ?
Prakash

Hi,
You can refer this article from Abdul Rafay on how to work with Flat files and how to call receive and send pipelines within your orchestration. He
has provided detailed step by step explanation of the process.
Calling Send and Receive Pipelines
from the orchestration expression shapes
The code shared by Abdul at http://abdulrafaysbiztalk.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/processingflatfiles.doc (Change the extention to rar) and try it.
One common mistake I have seen people doing will working with Flat File Assembler is that they miss to set the Document schema property in the Properties
window to the flat file schema.
If the Document schema property is not specified, runtime schema discovery will be attempted. During schema discovery, BizTalk Server attempts
to determine the correct flat file schema to assemble the message with, based on the namespace and root node of the message, its added performance hit.
