Keep getting capture scratch folder in my capture scratch folder

In my system settings I have set capture scratch like this...MEDIA1:capture scratch. Of course MEDIA1 is one of my drives. But why am I getting a capture scratch folder in my capture scratch folder? Shane, I even carefully followed your instructions not to make the mistake of clicking the scratch folder. I just cannot fiqure this out.
Best,
Tom

thought i'd use this post to raise the whole issue of interface elements held over from bygone days ...
why, exactly, is this folder still referred to as a "scratch" folder. isn't the convention that "scratch" files are temporary? seems to me this is a remnant of old design where FCP 2 (i think) captured media to a temporary file and then moved it over ... modelled perhaps on photoshop's "scratch disk" temporary files? all sounds very temporary and makeshift. how about just a "final cut media" folder?
this is a bit irksome as final cut becomes more and more fussy about where it stores (and keeps) files.
end of today's musing.

    When I look inside the folders, everything seems to be there. I don't know how to fix this.

  • How do I install icc profiles? I keep getting message that folder can't be modified.

    How do I install ICC profiles on Lion? I keep getting an error message that the folder can't be modified. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If the profiles need to be accessed by all user accounts on that Mac, follow Martin's instructions for getting the main Library folder to appear. In order to place items into the folder, you need the admin name and password before the OS will allow you to add (or remove) any items. It's either that, or you have to copy the same profiles into every individual user account.
    If the only user of the Mac is you, then the Profiles folder in your user account will work just as well.

  • Why does my 4:3 miniDV video keep getting captured as 16:9? (Vidi/Final Cut Pro question)

    This is partially related to Final Cut Studio, although not necessarily.  I've been trying to back up dozens of my miniDV tapes on to my harddrive for several months now, racing against the clock as their video quality starts to degrade.  Since Final Cut Pro started giving me problems with the timecode breaks, I started using a capture program called Vidi instead (v0.4.7)  Everything was capturing well, considering, until just last week where several of my tapes, which were shot in 4:3, would capture as 16:9.  That is, the video files were clearly stretched to a 16:9 aspect ratio and appeared distorted.  Today I tried to go back to Final Cut (v6.0.6) to capture it the old way, and, lo and behold, the video was once again being stretched to 16:9.
    A few things:
    - I'm about as sure as I can be that these tapes were shot in 4:3.  I've watched them several times on my TV and they are played back in 4:3, with the black bars on the left and right.
    - I had actually captured video previously from one of these tapes a few years back and it recorded as a 4:3 video file, just as it should.
    - I definitely have "4:3" checked off in Vidi when I capture the video.  What's even more infuriating, is that BOTH Vidi and Final Cut show the video playing in its 4:3 aspect ration during apture.  It's only when I check the captured file that it's been stretched to 16:9
    - A tape I shot in 2008 captured perfectly with Vidi today - in it's 4:3 format.  That seems to imply that it's not a software setting issue.
    I'm starting to lose my mind with this, especially since I haven't found a single reference to this problem anywhere else.  All I want is to get the raw DV data off of these tapes to work with at a future date, and I'd like it to be exactly as it was originally shot, not distorted.  Maybe some bit of code on these tapes got messed up over time, resulting in capture software to think it was shot in 16:9?  These tapes aren't anywhere near my oldest ones - they're from 2010 and 2011.  Is there something obvious I'm missing when I capture these videos?  If there's no other solution, is it possible to squeeze them back to 4:3?  It might not look as good as if were captured in it's native format, but I'm out of ideas.

    Not sure if it makes any difference for archiving purposes, but dv files (dv streams) are not generally recommended for use in fcp.  .mov with the dv codec is how fcp captures SD video via firewire.  Someone a few months ago claimed that .dv was fine with fcp, but I seem to remember that audio will always need to be rendered and since I always use fcp for capture of DV material, it's not an issue for me. 
    You can use compressor to both convert to .mov with the dv codec and reset the anamorphic flag.  Not sure if there will be any loss of quality, so it might be worth testing this.  Perhaps someone with more knowledge will speak up regarding this or alternative methods of converting .dv to .mov
    What problems are you having capturing from within fcp?  Shouldn't be a problem.  I find that setting the easy setup correctly is crucial for successful capturing.  Even if all the individual elements that seem to compose the easy set up are correct, there can still be problems.  Perhaps you might want to start a new thread regarding your capture problems and we can see if we can solve the problem.

  • Select-option value is not getting captured in at selection-screen on value

    In Selection screen , we have Select-option and  a parameter.
    Based on the values given in Select-option, the values of Parameter should get populate.
    To achieve this functionality,
    I  used  At selection u2013screen  on value request  for <parameter>  EVENT and 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' Function Module.
    But the Select-option values are not getting captured in this event,unless u press Enter key.
    Is there any other way to achieve this functionality.
    Please Guide me.

    When you call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'. make sure you send it the name of the screen variable - the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST function calls DYNP_VALUES_READ itself if you tell it the name of your report, screen number, and the variable name... snippet below.

    Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

  • Profit Center is not getting captured in Vendor line item from MIRO.

    Dear Friends,
    Profit Center is not getting captured in Vendor Line Items from MIRO Transaction for some New Business Users, where as for Old Users profit center is getting generated at Vendor Line Item.
    We have provided the same authorization of old Users to new business users. (i.e. New user is a copy of old user)
    Please help us how we can the get Profit Center in all transactions will be processed by New Business users.
    I think we need to maintain user based authorization to get the Profit center in vendor Line items processed from T.Code:MIRO in SAP.
    Looking forward for your kind cooperation in this matter
    Thanks & Regards,
    Naveen Kumar.

    Hello Naveen,
    I am not very sure about your query, as you might be knowing that the Profit Center is only updated in New GL tables (FAGLFLEXA, FAGLFLEXT) and hence the Vendor relavant tables would not.
    The profit center information in the split lines or the line of the 'General Ledger View' are only displayed within transaction FAGLL03 which read the 'new' table for the NewG/L.
    About profit center wise reporting, when New GL is active Please review attached consulting SAP note:
    - 826357     Profit Center Accounting and new general ledger in
    I hope this helps. If not, please provide an example of your requirement.
    Thanks and regards,

  • I have a large music collection in My Music which is where my Itunes music is.  I use Itunes match now and possibly it is what is causing my problems but can't be sure.  I keep getting a new My Music folder when I go into itunes so I have 2. what can I do

    Hi.  I have a very large my music folder on my C drive.  This is were all of my music is including itunes.  However, when I go into itunes, it sets up a new my music folder. If I erase the new folder, it comes back the next time I go into itunes.  It is just a very small folder vs. the large 132 GB file named My Music.  What is this new one and why does it keep getting generated vs. Itunes just using the large My Music folder that has all my music.  The small My Music it creates is 134 MB.  Does this have something to do with using Icloud and Itunes Match?  I find it confusing to have two my music folders. 

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    trying to remove an old version of I tunes, but keep getting the message 'The folder path I Tunes contains an invalid character'

    Hi Barbara,
    I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7,  who like myself was a newbie on this platform,  b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
    If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.
