IPad and .mov file issue

I am trying to play some .mov files on my iPad. I was able to drag and drop one of the files from my hard drive to the Movies folder in iTunes. The drag and drop worked and the file plays fine. I then go on to do the second file but get an error message when I try to drop it into iTunes: "[file name.mov] was not copied to the iPad '[iPad name]' because it cannot be played on this iPad." Both files are .mov. Why am I able to drag and drop one file into iTunes but not the other? (I am able to drag and drop it into "Movies" in my regular iTunes account, just not to the iPad device).

Not all mov videos are friendly to iPad, but only H.264 / MPEG-4 encoding video in mov format is compatible with iPad. And the most important step is to convert MOV to the right MOV (mpeg-4), mov (h.264) for ipad. I haven't tried it, but this free software for Mac/Windows may convert it.

.mp4 and .mov files are just LARGE

Sorry, without posting all the encoding details, is there an obvious reason why my .mp4 and .mov files are ~10x the size that they should be after AME? I'm talking about files that are 30mb .mp4's before and 300mb.mov afterwards. If you need details I'll post. Thanks.

File size is determined primarily by only two factors - duration and bitrate. The codec used, resolution, frame rate, etc. all have little or no effect on file size.
Duration, and bitrate. If you want a smaller file, one or the other of those has to be reduced.

Using Automator and Applescript to search and move files to flash drive

I've used applescript and automator to do simple tasks like watch folders and move files and rename files, but that is about the extent. I am wondering if it is possible to set up a automator service or app that will do several things.
When a flash drive is plugged it, it will ask for a file to be searched for, then it will search a predetermined directory for files with the word or number in them and then it will copy the found files to the mounted flash drive.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks!

As a start, you can use launchd to run a script when a volume is mounted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.tonyt.LaunchOnVolMount</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>LaunchOnVolMount.sh</string>
          </array>
          <key>QueueDirectories</key>
          <array/>
          <key>StartOnMount</key>
          <true/>
          <key>WatchPaths</key>
          <array/>
</dict>
</plist>
You can then have the LaunchOnVolMount.sh script perform the tasks you need.
You can incorporate Applescript within the Bash script with osascript:
#!/bin/bash
answer=$( osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "What file do you want to search for?" default answer "" ' )
echo $answer
I beleive that you can also call an Applescript from launchd

Is there a way to connect my iPhone 4S to my Mac directly,
say ... via a program or such on my MAC, to drag and drop the photos and Movie files,
directly into a folder. ??????????
Reason want to connect iPone to MAC or MAC to iPhone is ....
I have no DATA on my iPhone Mobile plan at moment.
So Photosync app is no good, as I can't download the app to my iPhone.
I can download a Photosync to my MAC ...

Export current format - JPG and MOV files

When exporting jpg and mov files in "current format" the mov files will be exported with only 1 second (ca 130kb).
If I export in "original format" it exports the mov files as they are, but the pictures are "original" and not show the last version.
Any idea?

If you dleted them you'll need to use a file recovery application like File Salvage

First, back up all data and then uninstall "DivX" according to the developer's instructions.
Then try this:

Code Execution in Cover Flow View and .mov Files

There is a code inside QuickTime movies that gets executed in Cover Flow view in Leopard!!!!!!!!.
I was helping a friend installing Leopard on his machine, and after restarting, I was showing him the new options in the Finder, when a found a bunch of videos (searched on his computer with Spotlight) and switched to 'Cover Flow View', and then Safari started opening web pages from the internet (Mostly adult sites).
After doing some tests I've noticed that the pages load the moment the Finder 'refines' the view of the videos. You know when the Finder first generates a blocky image of the video (some times called proxy image) and then generates a higher or cleaner resolution of that same video.
Not only that, if I resize the window or the preview pane, the code executed again and Safari opened the pages again!!!!
The Finder also executed the code in icon view with the 'Show Icon Preview' option selected in 'View Options' (Command-J).
Opening the videos in QuickTime Player did not trigger the code. But I've noticed that the videos start playing the moment they open. The Inspector (Command-I) didn't show anything unusual. But the Properties window (Command-J in QuickTime Pro) show a "Sprite Track" of Format 'Sprite' but again the different tabs (Annotations, Resources, Visual Settings or Other Settings) didn't show anything unusual.
*CORRECTION: The code also gets executed at the middle of the video when played in QuickTime. So this problem is related to QuickTime.!!!!!!*
The only solution to stop the code execution is to delete the 'Sprite Track'!!!!.
I also opened the movies in TextEdit and found the following text almost at the end of all the weird symbols:
(I'm sorry but the code disappears when I publish this post).
That's one of the pages that Safari was opening.
I don't know where my friend downloaded those videos, but the potential security risk is imminent.
I had the same results even after updating to QuickTime 7.3
I can upload the videos somewhere (at least the 'clean' ones) so you can make you own tests.
Any thoughts or comments?????
Is this a known issue in QuickTime?????
P.S. Once again please excuse my English (my main language is Spanish).

If I'm understanding correctly the "Sprite" is a part of how QuickTime works. In older versions you USED to be able to attach JavaScript to a sprite and do all kinds of useful and fun things. However, some websites used JavaScript to alter themselves, so a well crafted QuickTime movie could be used to deploy code that would alter websites. As a result, a LOT of this functionality was curtailed in later versions and many cool QuickTime functions no longer work.
The few that DO still work are when they are basic hyperlinks that take you to another web page, (Like at the end of this movie, BUT you have to click the link to go
http://www.makentosh.com/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/Entries/2006/3/7Somebody_ToldMe....html
) and others no longer work within the browser (they only work when using the QuickTime player). Give this a try. Use Safari to "Open File..." and open the .mov file. After it's open, see if it generates any other windows from there. If it doesn't, then I'd THINK it's operating as intended BUT it wouldn't hurt to send your feedback here for Apple to look into and/or fix it if necessary.

Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
Thank you,
Bob

Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
We have a ticket open with microsoft and our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Team

Working with AVCHD and MOV files

I am just learning on FCP 7 and have very limited experience thus far. I have been using AVCHD files via L&T with no problem and also MOV files simply by importing them. However, when I am using both file types within the same sequence (L&T AVCHD and converting to ProRes and importing MOV), I need to immediately render one of the file types (the one I bring in last). This is also true for any change I make to that particular clip. This would be extremely time inefficient if I were to proceed with this process using several clips from both formats in order to put something together.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions in how I can best work with these two file types and by reducing the rendering time (without compromising quality). Is there a way to convert the MOV files to a ProRes? This doesn't seem to be an option with the L&T feature.
Thanks

Thank you for the reply, David!
Sorry, it is an H.264 codec.
So does this mean that there is really no workaround within FCP to work with the two different formats ....other than rendering each clip I drop into the timeline? I was hoping to avoid having to use another application, but if I really don't have a choice....then perhaps I will try compressor or MPEG streamclip as you suggested. Are there any loss of quality issues when using either of these two programs?
Thank you

Apple TV and .mov files

Hello, I have used submerge in order to merge my movies with SRT files. The output is then a MOV file. Until just a few weeks ago, this worked just fine with my ATV. But my recent merges trough submerge have been declined by my ATV, it says that it does not support the file type.
Can someone please help?

This will probably be best done in submerge, I don't use it so I don't know what settings there are, but you need to be exporting to h264.
The issue with the file as it stands is that the tv won't support DivX. (additionally, and I don't know if it will be a problem for you but the audio appears to only be AC3, which is fine if you are connected to a home theatre but if not you won't hear anything)
It would appear that all submerge has done is taken the original file wrapped it in the .mov container and added the text as an image.
Again because I don't use submerge I'm not sure, but it may be the case that all submerge does is exactly that, wrap the original file in a .mov container and add an image. It may then be the case that the files that worked for you before were simply of a different format before you started.
I'll see if I can find anything out about export options in submerge for you.

File system task - Move file issue, skip the current log file thats open by another process - IIS logs

Hi,
I have created a package to move IIS log files from their source directory to another directory called processing. However, when the package tries to move the current log file it errors because the file is in use by another process (by IIS as its still writing
to it). I would like the package to just ignore the "in-use" file and process the rest and show the package completing successfully. The file in use will be rolled by IIS at midnight and the file will be picked up by the next package run.
However, when the file is rolled and becomes free a new log file is created which will be marked as "in-use"...... which should be ignored at the next run.
Is there some way that I can tell the file system task to ignore in use files or add an event handler to do the same sort of thing?
Any assistance is appreciated

Hi Arthur,
Thank you for your reply.
I have resolved the issue with the following example:
http://www.timmitchell.net/post/2010/08/23/ssis-conditional-file-processing-in-a-foreach-loop/
What I realised was that I needed to just ignore the current log file which gets created daily, so using the above example (and changing the last written date to created date) I am able to ignore/skip the log thats in use.

After installing Mt.Lion on my 27" iMac (2010), my copy/paste and move files would no longer function after a few minutes of use. I re-opened in Safe Mode and found everything okay, so I was told it was a bad extension. Now what do I do?

I have tried to look for an extension like Air Print Activator, which I tried and ignored. I thought it might have some timing method that would stop my copying and pasting and moving files after a minutes ot two. So I re-installed the latest version and "uninstalled" it, hoping it would then remove an errant extension. But that didn't help. It seemed to start when I first tried out Mail and moving new emails into their mailboxes after reading. I tried to figure out how to do a Clean Install, too, but it would not allow me to "move" the InstallESD.dmg to a USB disk, "resource busy". Everyway I turn, I'm blocked from carrying out a method of finding the culprit, short of starting from scratch -- but losing years and years of mail, files, receipts, etc. It's just too much to sacrifice. I have no idea what to do next, since I have no idea what extension is causing it or how to isolate and destroy it. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

You can try repairing the boot drive, Since you are running OS 10.6.8 you will need the OS DVD. Do you have it?
Please post back if you do, and need directions on how to do the disk repair.

Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.

hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks
