LR4 imports videos but gets the capture date wrong (1-1-1970)...

Hi,
LR4b on Win7 Home Premium x64, clean system reinstalled today.
I managed to successfully import my M4V videos (previously recognized, imported and managed with LR3) under LR4
even though it complains each time that Quicktime is not there (well, thank you for the info Adobe but this is on purpose that I don't want to install bloatware)
However, upon completion of the videos importation, no valid capture date is assigned to them, and they all show as 1-1-1970. Plain wrong. More tragically, files were renamed to this 1970 nonsense, so I lost the original capture date which was part of their filename. What a mess.
Each M4V video comes from a Quicktime Mjpeg .mov file, converted to more efficient H264 with FFMpeg.
Each M4V video has an associated JPEG sidecar (as originally taken by the camera) which has the correct EXIF capture time and date.
LR4 makes absolutely no use of the jpeg sidecar files, thus defeating their very purpose!
My silly (?) idea:
if LR4 for whatever reason is not able to extract a capture date from a video file, it should at least try:
1/ to extract the capture date from sidecar files, e.g. XMP or companion JPEG (which are indeed copied along, but obviously of no use to the software);
2/ to use as a last resort the file date for the video file (this is probably exposed to LR via filesystem functions)
Or perhaps just warn that files can not be imported since no 'date' metadata is retrievable... better than importing stuff with silly metadata...

Hi Anthony,
If you drag a folder of images into the viewing window of iPhoto a roll will be created with the Folders name.
Same thing if you use "add to library" and choose the folder of images to import.

Trying to import video but getting "file is unrecognized format" - please help!

Hey,
I tried importing videos to my iPhoto '11 library that were taken on a Samsung WB600 digital camera. The files are .MP4 extension but I keep getting an error saying that the file is unreadable and that it is an unrecognized format. I tried changing to various other extensions, such as .mpeg; .mpg and .avi. Each time I keep getting the same message, but the strange thing is that one video captured on the camera from the same import group made it in to the library without any problems. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
Mo

Hi Mo
The file within that import group, that worked, did that file also have an .mp4 extension? Also, just changing the file extension doesn't work, you need to convert it using a video conversion software.
It worked very well on iPhoto 09 and iPhoto 11 before the latest upgrade on Nov/2011.
The original videos that I have imported are still working, but right now if I try to import new movie files (mp4) recorded from my camera, it is not recognized as a valid file, although Quicktime plays it perfectly.

How do I get the Capture Data application?

I had this problem where Safari kept disappearing out of the dock so I called Apple Tech Support. Tech emailed me an application called Capture Data. After I sent the disk image it created, I deleted the email.
Is there any way of getting the application back? Can it be downloaded from Apple.com?
(Thanks Jason at Tech Support for helping me out. The Safari problem has been resolved.)

See if it is still on your ISPs site. I'm using Shaw in Canada and with Shaw's webmail I have access to all my emails back for a month.

Importing from iMovie 06, lose capture dates

When I import old iMovie 06 movies, the capture dates gets lost. Here is one of the original clips in iMovie 06:
However, after importing in iMovie 11, the capture dates are lost. I tried many variations, like import the iMovie 06 project, or cd to the *.iMovieProject directory and import the actual clips, etc.
Now, good iMovie11 clips have the capture date imbedded in the file name (as in clip-2010-03-14 hh;mm;ss.dv). However, the ones imported from iMovie 06 end up in iMovie 11 with simple names such as clip55.dv. So it's not surprising I cannot see the capture dates in iMovie 11.
So I looked inside the *.iMovieProject directory hoping to find the capture dates either in the file name or in a plist, but I couldn't (nothing in the plists below)
... Jan 23 2010 Cache/Thumbnails.plist
... Jan 23 2010 Cache/Timeline Movie Data.plist
... Jan 23 2010 Cache/Timeline Movie.mov
... Nov 8 2009 Media/Clip55.dv
etc
Finally, I opened Clip55.dv in QuickTime and looked at MovieInspector, but I could not see any capture date (similar to exif in jpegs).
So obviously I missed them. My question is where in the iMovie 06 project can I find them? If accessible, I can write a script to fix the clips imported in iMovie11 by changing their names. I tried it manually, and it worked.
Thanks in advance

Hi - Couple of things.
Click on the offending clip that you imported from iMovie in your FCP Bin and type Command + 9 to see the item properties. Either report those item properties, or if easier, take a screen shot of the item properties and post that.
Then click any where on the timeline you are having trouble with and type Command + 0 (Zero) to see the sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings window and post that.
In order for FCP to use the video without rendering, both the items properties of the source clip, and the sequence settings must match - and both must be within standard production parameters.
Also, you can click on the source clip in the FCP Bin, then control-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder from the drop down menu. Once that file is revealed, open it in Quicktime 7 and see if if plays correctly there.
Hope this helps.

You can't share/play a music CD using Remote Disk. It's a limitation that Apple built in.
"MacBook Air and Mac mini do not support playing DVD movies or audio CD media with Remote Disc."
Remote Disk is limited to data transfers.
You will have to use the MBA external superdrive, or another compatible external DVD device hooked directly to the Macbook Air.
Otherwise, you will need to rip the CD's contents using your PC and transfer the music as data files.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

How to get the Delivery date in PO line Item in SAPScript

Hi Gurus,
I am working on PO Script (MEDRUCK). I copied the Standard to a Z form. ZMM_MEDRUCK, Now I need to print the the Header text at the end of MAIN window. I put Iem number along with the other line Item informmation like stanadrd PO Script MEDRUCK. I also want to show the delivey date with line Item, so Itried to use EKET-EINDT but it is returning the delivery date of last line item, means while printing the first line and other information it is showing the delivery date of the last line item, I tried with the PEKPO-EINDT it is also not working.
Can any body suggest me how i can get the delivery date for the respective line Item ?
Regards
Sony

actually your are picking up the correct data from Table EKET (EKET-EINDT) but your are printing that in item data loop for EKET might have already executed in your script and the header of that internal table consist the last entry of the table so for that. Fetch the delivery date explicite from the Table EKET when your in item level processing and print that.
For Example u can use this code.
To print you have write the this code in Script item level printing window "MAIN" window
Following perform is called to get the line item delivery date in PO
{/: PERFORM GET_DEL_DATE IN PROGRAM ZPerform_prog
/: USING &EKPO-EBELN&
/: USING &EKPO-EBELP&
/: CHANGING &DEL_DATE&
/: ENDPERFORM}
{* Dellivery date &DEL_DATE& }
write the below code in the Z program "ZPerform_prog"
{ FORM get_del_date TABLES in_par STRUCTURE itcsy
                         out_par STRUCTURE itcsy.
READ TABLE in_par WITH KEY 'EKPO-EBELN'.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
$_po_no = in_par-value.
READ TABLE in_par WITH KEY 'EKPO-EBELP'.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
$_po_line = in_par-value.
SELECT *
FROM eket UP TO 1 ROWS WHERE ebeln EQ $_po_no AND ebelp EQ $_po_line.
    $_del_date = eket-eindt.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

        date_internal            = eket-eindt

        OTHERS                   = 2.
    READ TABLE out_par WITH KEY 'DEL_DATE'.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
    out_par-value = $_del_date.
