Is movie metadata changes written to the file in iTunes 10.1?

Hello.
I'm putting together a bunch of home videos for my parents (made in iMovie) for Christmas and I'm using iTunes 10.1 to populate the metadata (genre, movie title, comments, etc.) — is this data written to the file or is it stored in an iTunes DB? My concern is, like how iTunes handles cover artwork, will all the metadata be lost when I give them these videos (since they'll be importing into their own iTunes library) or will the information I edit in iTunes move with the files? If this information is not written to the file (ie. it'll be lost when I give them the videos), can anyone suggest an iTunes add-on that will allow me to edit these files already imported into iTunes?
Also, I assume the cover art isn't written to the file, like with music files — is this true? For example, if I add a cover to these videos (which I'm making myself as JPGs), if I add the cover art in iTunes, will it be written to the file so it appears as cover art when I give the files to my parents and they import into iTunes?
Any info would be appreciated!!!

Meta X works great for editing the metadata.

How are you giving them these videos? As a regular, playable DVD (such as burned with iDVD)?
If so, tags are not needed as they are not written to the playable DVD.
However, it is good to add the metadata so you have the info in the file on your computer.

  • Cascading Style Sheets are NOT written to the file system

    Hallo,
    On the "Cascading Style Sheets" page is written that: "The Cascading Style Sheets are written to the file system, so you can reference them in your HTML source code."
    I am true that if this works I can reference the css with something like this?
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/sample.css" type="text/css">
    and do not need this style:
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="#APP_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css">
    I have looked on the "Cascading Style Sheets" page: http://127.0.0.1:7780/apex/f?p=4000:37
    Are there some other preferences, options, etc. to set that this will be working?
    Thx for your help. Willi

    Hi,
    CSS files uploaded through Shared Components, Cascading Style Sheets are written into the database, so you would have to use:
    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css"/&gt;You should be able to see these if you run the following in SQL Commands:
    SELECT * FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
    WHERE UPPER(FILENAME) LIKE '%CSS%'Andy

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

    is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

    OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.

    Before to attach your ipod.... try to find the file where you put your music.... click on that song.... itunes will ask you if you want to locate it.... from there you have to find the song(s) that is one of the folders in your PC.

  • How do you change name of the files before sending files to FTP site?

    Hi guys,
    my environment is SQL Server 2008 R2.
    Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to tackle the following project:
    I have over 100 files that I need to send via FTP on daily basis.
    Before doing so, I must change the extension of the file to a specific characters stored in a sql server table, for example if the file name is Store1.txt the new name will be Store1.111
    I was hoping that you guys can point me in the right directions :-)
    Codernater

    I would use a script task for renaming, Pass the data from the SQL table with the extension you want via a object variable to the script task iterate the files in the directory and rename as requried
    this code and link would help you

  • SWF movies are not animated when the file's opened directly.

    Firstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic!
    Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems.  Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation.  When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).
    When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
    Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected.  But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all.  If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static.  But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected.  Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
    I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens.  It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image.  Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?
    Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate help resolving this issue.

    Update:
    I downloaded the newest Flash Player and double clicked the problematic swf file again.  I was a bit surprised to see Flash CS5 start up and display the floating test window with the problematic static animation as before.  I closed Flash CS5, right clicked on the swf file and chose "Open With Flash Player".  The animation opened in the new Flash Player and was working fine.
    So it appears that only Flash CS5 and CS4 are having the issue playing the test movie that was created in the very same program?

  • PI changing encoding on the file

    Hi,
    I am using a File to File scenario without File Content Conversion for  File transfer.
    But, the file to be transferred contains some Chinese unicode characters which use UTF - 8 encoding.
    When PI moves the file the characters become illegible.
    Current Settings in Adapter:
    File Type  : Text
    File Encoding : Not specified
    What changes in settings of Sender or Receiver adapter should be made so that
    the file gets transferred as it is.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Vinit
    Change it in both the channel and see if it works or not.
    If it does not work, then send the file as binary

  • Will adding keywords or other metadata changes to jpeg cause file to be compressed?

    Hi, I've been searching on this for hours and not finding a definitive answer.
    Will adding/modifying keywords or metadata (ok if this is two seperate questions)
    cause a jpeg file to be compressed again while the changes are saved to disk?
    thanks for any assistance,
    William

    Thanks for the reply. I am somewhat clearer on exporting and I understand the non-destructive changes concept for LR.
    Maybe a better question would be " Does Lightroom recompress a jpeg when writing to the XMP space in the file?" please correct me if "XMP space" is not he correct term for where keywords are stored.

  • Variable Substitution field shouldnot be written to the file

    Hello,
    I am doing a proxy to file scenario.
    Below is my datatype structure:
    MT_IN
    ---Line     1..unbounded
    ---FileName 1..1
    From the R/3 side, I send the entire file in the "line" element and the name of that file in the "FileName" element.
    Now I want to use this "FileName" element in my variable substitution to dynamically generate my filename schema but I dont want to write this into the file which is written to the filesystem.
    I only want to write the contents of "Line" element to the file and not the "FileName".
    What all options are available to do this? Please detail out.
    Thanks

    Hi Laxmi
    I think you need to reframe the message
    Do like this
    MT_OUT
                Header
                   FileName
                Items
                   Line
    Now you get Record Structure  Header, Items
    and apply FCC parameter. This will resolve. Your structure is not getting supported correctly by FCC. Try it
    Thanks
