Lost original assets to previously burned project, any workaround?

I lost the original assets (images) for a slideshow gallery that was on a DVD I already made in Encore. I wrongly thought that somehow it wouldn't need access to the original assets after doing the encode, that it somehow encoded everything into its own folders and files.
I DO see a .png image that correlates to each lost original asset within the Cache folder for the project, can I use that to recreate the project? Any workaround if the original files are missing? Or do I need them at all, will it work with broken links to the missing image files?
Right now, I'm in the process of re-connecting it to the timeline (which I'd also lost and thought it didn't need but I found it and I guess it needs it because I did it as an import timeline) so I'm not sure if the galleries would work anyway.
Speaking of which. what is the better way once a DVD has been successfully made to keep it for future burns WITHOUT needing access to any of the original assets?
Thanks!

Besides Stan's good advice, I would ask what type of re-editing you need to do. You CAN copy the .vob files from the DVD to your hard drive, then open those .vob files in Premiere to re-edit and then encode for DVD again. Of course, there will be quality loss with re-encoding the material again and maybe the video is fine and you only need to modify some menus in the DVD? If the latter, free software such as "MPEG Streamclip" can actually pull an .m2v video file and audio off your DVD, then just pop those assets right into Encore and make new menus again, should be no loss of video quality as it is not being transcoded.
The "Image" that Stan mentioned is an .ISO file, save that and use any DVD burning app to burn a disc from image later (BurnAware, ImgBurn, etc). On Windows 7, I can actually just double-click an .ISO in Explorer and the Windows Burning app opens right up.

HT5958 I have just updated to FCPX 10.1 but my new libraries do not contain any of my previous events or projects - any body know the answer?

I have just updated to FCPX 10.1 but my new libraries do not contain any of my previous events or projects - any body know the answer?

Did you select the "update old events and projects" option?
Are the originals on external hard drives that aren't connected at the moment?
Exactly how did you upgrade to 10.1?

Copying DVD from Previous FCE Project

I am trying to easily copy a project I created in FCE. Originally I burned it to DVD using iDVD but saved nothing of the project, thinking I would never need it again. Now people want copies. I went to the iDVD discussion forum and the following document was suggested, "How to copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs,"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2059?viewlocale=en_US
The article, even though it was very detailed and had illustrations, wasn't the way it went for me. Some of the instructions were confusing and didn't match what I saw on my monitor, but I just kept going, trying this and that, hoping it would work out, which it did. Now I want to burn more. I know disk utility will do the trick but need instructions that are more accurate.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Lee

I did try copying the disk again. This time it didn't work. It looked like it was burning OK and the disk even has the same deep blue burn band as the original, but when I tried playing it in two DVD players it said "Disk Error." I'm wondering if I should get Toast or some other reliable copying program. The problem I am having using Disk Utility is that the instructions in the threads suggested don't match what I am seeing. I hate to keep wasting printable disks.

BCC FlexUI fails to show all Assets involved in a Project

In the BCC for ATG 10.0.2 there are 2 different UIs with which to configure a CA Project; The Flex UI is accessed via the Merchandising Menu and the Workflow UI is accessed via "Browse Projects" and the "To Do List". I have observed that the FlexUI consistently shows less assets than the project actually has. The Workflow UI always shows all the assets. In particular, the Flex UI never seems to see any Products that have been changed or added in my Project, only Catageories, SKUs, and Catalogs. What's up with that? Is this an ATG Flex UI bug?

I dont think assignment of task through merchandising UI was available in previous versions of ATG also.
Assignments of tasks can be done only through Content Administration > Browse project or through the To Do list on home page.
In Flex UI you can only proceed till the deployment step and FlexUI will force you to go to home page when you click deploy to staging/production. This is how FlexUI works. Nothing can be done for it.
So this is how assignment will work in this case; Author will assign the Ready to Review task to a person A. Person A will go to flexUI and review the asset changes, move the project one step ahead and come back to home page and assign next task to person B. Assignment will not be possible through FlexUI
And regarding assets to be seen in FlexUI; you can see you added assets when you click on the project name on the top of the FlexUI screen. I have seen all my assets in the project and never got any issue with the asset count mismatch, though never tried with too many assets(just below 20). I dont know if it fails to show assets which are large in number.
But definitely it shows products,categories,skus etc.

IPhoto '11 and previous version Projects missing their linked photos

This concerns iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) running under Lion 10.7.2. Fully maintained.
For the past couple of years my wife has been making iPhoto hardcover books ('projects') using photos from within various versions of iPhoto. Yesterday she completed her latest book and uploaded it off for printing. She then decided to order an additional copy of a book she'd made a couple of years ago, and opened the project file in iPhoto. For a brief moment there was a screen caption saying 'upgrading', and then a message to say upgrading was successful, and please to check book before printing.
So she did - and whilst the pages and layouts were there, and text captions, ALL the inserted photos were missing! All the photos show up in the source list on the righthandside of iPhoto, but none of them are linked into the project book! She checked back into previous books (projects), and other than a couple of recent books, all were the same - the pages, layout and text were fine, but no linked-in photos.
So quitting iPhoto and reopening command-option to get to the maintenance section, ticking all the boxes to examine and rebuild, after a few hours the result was the same - all the past projects were devoid of linked-in pictures!
Worse still - the project she completed yesterday, and had sent for printing, now had some of its photos inserted sideways, or upside-down! Clicking on the photo on the page opens it the correct way around, and not as shown on the page layout!
Going back into TimeMachine and extracting the iPhoto library from 6 months ago, opening it in iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) on a different machine gives the same result as above - the 'upgrading' message, the 'success and check' message, and the resultant unlinked photos. NOTE: once a previous project has been selected from the list, the 'upgrading' process is instant, unstoppable and not undoable.
Do anyone have any explanantions or suggestions on how to resolve these issues?

well....
update this post.....
It's strange.... I have news.... maybe I have the solution but I have to test if I have lost something....
I opened time machine and simply cut & paste Pictures folder from backup to my folder, then opened iphoto with option key .... iphoto check updates on net and download last updates showing a popup that informes me that updating library to last iphoto version I will not be able to see photos with previous version of iphoto.
once updated the software i can see all photos..... now i just have to check if there are all photos and i have not lost anything.....

IMovie-- Share to iDVD--- Opens previous iDVD project...why?

Hello all,
I hope this is as simple as setting a preference somewhere. I have created an iMovie project and I am sending to iDVD via the "Share" menu. When I do this, iDVD automatically opens the PREVIOUS iDVD project I was working on. I would assume that it would let me choose to "Create New" from the iDVD "Share" menu....am I mistaken? Is there a simple preference change that I am missing?
Just for the record, I usually export from iMovie to iDVD to "Full Quality" then import that into iDVD. However, this project has many chapter markers that I need to include in the DVD. From everything I've been reading, I HAVE to use the "Share" to iDVD option in order to preserve the chapter markers.
Any advice is greatly appreciated:)

Klaus1...
Thanks for the advice. If I understand what you're saying, I can just close the iDVD project and then open a new one and import the iMovie project file I'm working with?
Karl,
I have done this several times and each time iDVD was not running when I "Shared" to iDVD from iMovie. Although, if I open a new iDVD project, save it, then close it...then "Share" to iDVD from iMovie, the correct iDVD project will open. (the last iDVD project open).
Anyway, it seems that there is a way to accomplish what I need, so I'll go with the former method. I will mess with it further after I get done burning the several copies of this project that I need. (wedding video as a surprise for family members;)
Thanks for your advice!

Import Fixed Asset on Previous Year

Hi experts,
I would like to know, is it possible to upload fixed asset on previous year as fiscal year. For example I want to upload asset per June 2010 as beginning period, I tried several ways to upload but I couldn't find the right one.
I tried to upload fixed asset data with depreciation start / capitalization date before Jan 2010 and succeed
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 Feb 2009
Depreciation start date: 01 Feb 2009
APC value: 22000000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 25
Ordinary Depr: 8066667
But it didn't work out with the depreciation start / capitalization date on Jan - Jun 2010
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 March 2010
Depreciation start date: 01 March 2010
APC value: 2100000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 36
Ordinary Depr: 0
Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I did. It said "We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life." This case is different, the company wants to upload asset as per June 2010 as its beginning balance =) Thx for your reply Julie

Need help burning project to DVD

Can anyone help me burn a PRE project to a DVD in .VOB (NTSC) format so it can be read by any DVD player connected to a TV, not a computer. I know how it is supposed to be done in Premier Elements because I did it with small sample files, but whenever I try with a larger project, PRE always crashes during the encoding process.. First I will give the particulars of my system, then of my project, then of the trouble shooting I already tried, finally my experiences
System:
     Intel Pentium "E2200" dual core processor @ 2.2 GHZ speed
     3 GB RAM
     Windows 32bit Vista Home Premium with SP2 installed
     1/4 TB hard drive with 100MB free and 0% fragmented
      Intel G31/33 graphics processor
Projects:
     14 MB slide show consting of 5 MB JPEG files with audio or text captions and unedited MPG4 files of 480x720 pixels imported from Samsung camcorder set at recording quality of 5 MB/sec.
     10 MB movie created in instant DVD by dragging above JPEG and MPG4 files from album
     Neither have additional narration or music tracks
     Both the above about 25 minutes on the timeline
Troubleshooting already tried:
     Burning project to folder instead of to DVD
     Exporting files to PC in MPG2 and AVI format
     Rendering the file (not all at once, but in separate work areas at a time)
     Burned to both -RW and -R DVD's
     Deselecting the "Fit contents to available space" quality option in the burn menu and manually selecting a bitrate speed of 3 MB/sec
     Repeating the above in selective start of windows with all start programs and non-Microsoft processes disabled
     Repeating the above for both Slide show and movie projects
Results:
     The encoding process never completes, but it abends at different stages in different trials--never the same point. Sometimes it crashes at less than 20% complete; sometimes it makes it to 96% complete, then stops responding. Sometimes it generates a crash report, and sometimes it just stops responding, so I have to open task manager to end the program.   Sometimes I get a message that PRE is dangerously low on system memory. I just close the window and procede, because I am watching physical memory usage in Task Manager while PRE is encoding and it is consistantly about 60%. CPU usage often peaks at 100%, but not for more than 60 secs at a time. When the system crashed, it generated an error message in the administrative events log sometimes reading: "The entry <name of project file> in the hash map cannot be updated"; event ID 3013, which Microsoft found no help for. When it simply stops responding, it leaves no error message in the system log until I close the program.
     I don't think I have a system error, because my system sussessfully burned two minute test projects, and don't have a project error, because I could render the timeline. What is going on here?
     B.T.W, some people I talked to about this problem who make their living in photos and electronics suggest I buy a camcorder which records in MPEG2 format, then simply burn the MPEG2 files to DVD without re-encoding, insert the DVD into any player connected to a TV, and play. I don't think this advice is correct.   Opinions?

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Want to burn project to disc but can't

I am trying to save some video clips in imovie for a back up and have just 29:30:25 duration total. But when I click on "burn project to disc" I get a message that (The project won't currently fit onto a disc. But if you empty iMovie HD’s Trash, it may.)
Well the trash is empty everywhere as far as I can tell and the message doesn't change. The disc I want to use is a dvd-r has 120 min and 4.7 gb. HELP?

I am trying to save some video clips…
for convenience, get in any PCshop a firewire-connected harddrive…
launch Disk Utility (in your apps folder), format drive to MacOsExtended/hfs…
then copy your project within minutes by simply drag'n drop from one drive to another…
(I have 4 hds just for my little homemovies... )

Find asset number for the project

I have one project which is used to settle to AUC and fixed asset, but in cj20n, we can't find the asset number of both AUC and fixed asset which related to this project, any way to find out? thanks

Hi,
You can also check
EDIT > WBS Element > Investment Programs > Asset Under Construction.
OR Simply EDIT > COSTS > Settlement Rule
you can get AUC number if it is already settled.
Thanks,

I lost a few songs previously purchased. I have to pay again to download them?

I lost a few songs previously purchased. I have to pay again to download them?

Even if you can't find the tracks on your hard drive there may a broken link somewhere in the iTunes library. Create a smart playlist that matches the track details to be certain. You should delete any broken entry from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help prevent partial downloads...

Unable to load previous iDVD projects

Hi all I know this has been mentioned before but I cant find any threads with a positive outcome! Im unable to open previous iDVD projects now I have installed '08.
Help anyone...?

Let's try this first:
Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
or you can use the finder (happy face on the dock) to copy and paste the bold type above.
Make sure to Restart the computer as well once the above has been performed. Hope this helps but if not, come on back.
