Make a Reference Quicktime Movie using QuickTime API for windows?

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to generate or modify a QuickTime Reference file?
I try to generate a QuickTime reference file (.mov) that will point to external video clip Avid OpAtom such as
\Avid MediaFIles\MXF\V1.mxf,
\Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A1.mxf,
\Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A2.mxf.
I can use Avid News Cutter (NLE) to export a Quicktime reference mov file that point to external OpAtom mxf files.
My questions are:
1. How can I use QuickTime API to generate the same QT reference?
2. Can we use QuickTime API to parse or modify the Avid Generated QT reference file?
If I want to change the referenced external video source location info can we use QT API to do that?
3. I have tried John Cromie's "QuickTime for .Net and Com Developers" using AxQTControl1.URL to parse a QT reference file, however, I can't find out where the external source clip location info in this object!!
4. I have tried Legacywindowsqttools Dunpster but still can't parse the location info.
Does anyone know where the external source clip location info hide in QT API object?

Insert a Shape and re-size & position it to cover the movie. In the Inspector > Graphic tab, set the Opacity of the Shape to 0%. Then hyperlink that transparent Shape.

How to find the frames-per-second of a Quicktime movie using Applescript?

Is there a way to find out the real-time "frames per second" of a Quicktime movie?
The only Applescript movie properties in Quicktime which I have found to be useful are "duration" and "time scale". The real-time duration of the movie in seconds is found by dividing "duration" by "time scale".
But "time scale" only sometimes relates to any real time property. In some cases it does (2500 = PAL 25 fps, 2997 = NTSC 29.97 fps) but for many other movie types I've opened (DivX, flv, mp4 etc) the "time scale" is often reported as "600" even though the Quicktime movie inspector window will report a frame rate of 25, 29.97, 15 or some other number.
Where does the Quicktime movie inspector window extract the FPS from, and is it possible to extract that same number, or calculate the real-time FPS of a Quicktime movie using Applescript only?
Thanks.

Thanks for this but unfortunately it only works for some movie types. For .dv .flv and .divx movies, this script correctly calculates the FPS. But for .mpg .mp4 and .m4v it does not.
For .mpg movies I tested, the count of frames was always 1, so clearly the FPS calculation is always wrong.
For the .mp4 and .m4v movies I tried, the FPS was always reported as 43, regardless of whether the actual FPS was 25 or 29.97. In all cases the count of frames was incorrect.
A bug in Quicktime?

I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE. The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV. Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings. The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size. Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better.

Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion? For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie. Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
The file size per se makes no difference.
What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence? Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50? In North America it should be i60.
853X480 is an odd frame size. Where are you seeing this number? It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480. Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec. DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video. You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects). Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

Trouble Exporting to 16:9 with Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion

I have created a 5 minute movie using shots taken from my Sony HDR-FX1. The shots were native 16:9. They imported fine into FCEHD. While editing in FCEHD, the clips all displayed in the viewer as 16:9. When I exported to Quicktime Movie, the resulting product was 16:9. When I exported using Quicktime Conversion, my product became 4:3.
Having read other posts here, I looked closely at all clips (which were all checked as Anamorphic), and my Sequence (which was not checked Anamorphic -- but was instead HD1440x1080). I then created a new sequence, which was checked as Anamorphic, copied my clips to it, then exported it. It got worse. Now, it exports 4:3 using both Quicktime Movie and Quicktime Conversion.
I then created a new project, created a new sequence set to Anamorphic, then copied one clip into it from my earlier project and exported it -- same result. I then imported a clip into this new project from the original files from my camera and exported -- same result.
One final note, when looking at the Frame Size in the properties of my sequence and clips, it is set to 720x480. And, when I look at the Get Info on the exported files of the original, I see 1920x1080 (Quicktime Movie export) and 1440x1080 (Quicktime Conversion export) before I created the new sequence; then 720x480 in both after I created the new sequence.
Any help you can provide would be incredibly appreciated!
Dan

You are right. My original sequence was marked as HD. When I exported that one to Quicktime Movie, it displayed 16:9.
Then, I created a new sequence that was 720x480 and checked as anamorphic. That one, exported with Quicktime Movie and/or Quicktime Conversion was 720x480 and was squeezed into 4:3 rather than displaying in Quicktime as 16:9.
Last night, I burned this to DVD using iMovie and it displayed properly on my 16:9 television. But, alas, it is squeezed on my 4:3 television (rather than letterboxed).
Also, I exported to Quicktime Conversion and used "custom size" of 720x405 and achieved a movie that will play in Quicktime as near 16:9 so I can put it up on the web in the right dimensions.
Is there a better/easier way to export footage shot 16:9, edited 16:9 so that it automatically exports 16:9 for use in Quicktime and/or on a DVD?

I have Windows 8.1 and just bought the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for windows and it won't install. I currently have Quicktime Pro.

I need to run Quicktime Pro and playback DVD with mpeg-2 content for school. I just downloaded Quicktime Pro, and purchased the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for Windows, but I can't download it at all. Is this because my PC is running Windows 8.1?
If so, is there anything I can do?

What do I do?
You actually have several options. However, since you specifically want to use it it with MPEG Streamclip, the easiest approach would be to download the MPEG Streamclip "Beta" package for the Mac which includes a utility app that will help install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component on Lion and later operating systems. Instructions and background info can be found HERE under the "Lion/Mountain Lion and MPEG-2 Playback Component" tab.

Error in Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Hello Everyone,
I am a regular user of I-tunes but recently i dont know why but I got some error in Launching I-tunes. So as recomonded by "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7" section. I started removing the products. But after removing Quick time, I tried to remove Apple Software Update but while uninstalling it gave error that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and the uninstall rollbacks.
Please send me a feasible solution to this problem.
Thank You.

Uninstalling the iCloud control panel should allow you to do that folder deletion.

Image not displayed in pdf generated using Java API for Forms service

Hi,
I am creating a pdf document using Java API for Forms Service.
I am able to generate the pdf but the images are not visible in the generated pdf.
The image relative path is coming in the xml as defined below. The images are stored dynamically in the Livecycle repository each time a request is fired with unique name before the xml is generated.
<imageURI xfa:contentType="image/png" href="../Images/logo.png"></imageURI>
Not sure if I need to specify specify specific URI values that are required to render a form with image.
The same thing is working when I generate pdf document using Java API for Output Service.
As, I need to generate interactive form, I have to use Forms service to generate pdfs.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Below is the code snippet:
            //Create a FormsServiceClient object
            FormsServiceClient formsClient = new FormsServiceClient(myFactory);
            //Specify URI values that are required to render a form
            URLSpec uriValues = new URLSpec();
                              // Template location contains the whole rpository path for the form
            uriValues.setContentRootURI(templateLocation);
           // The base URL where form resources such as images and scripts are located. Whole Image path is passed in BaseUrl in the http format.
                  String baseLocation = repositoryPath.concat(serviceName).concat(imagesPath);
                              uriValues.setBaseURL(baseLocation);
            // Set run-time options using a PDFFormRenderSpec instance
            PDFFormRenderSpec pdfFormRenderSpec = new PDFFormRenderSpec();
            pdfFormRenderSpec.setCacheEnabled(new Boolean(true));
            pdfFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.client.AcrobatVersio n.Acrobat_8);
                              //Invoke the renderPDFForm method and write the
            //results to a client web browser
            String tempTemplateName =templateName;
            FormsResult formOut = formsClient.renderPDFForm(tempTemplateName,
                                          inXMDataTransformed,pdfFormRenderSpec,uriValues,null);
            //Create a Document object that stores form data
            Document outputDocument = formOut.getOutputContent();
            InputStream inputStream = outputDocument.getInputStream();

How to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?

because i can't install standalone oracle workflow successfully.
pls tell me how to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?
are there some patch or pulg-in package?
ths a lot...........

The Java Function Activity Agent is not certified for Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications. Installing standalone workflow should be a lot easier than what you have found, although it looks like you did hit a Pentium 4 issue with the Oracle Universal Installer. I suggest you contact Oracle Support or Oracle Consulting for assistance.

Burning a QT .mov file to CD for Windows use.

I have tried burning a QT .mov file to CD for Windows use with Finder and with Toast T 6, Mac & PC option. I burned the QT .mov file and Windows QT Installer on to the CD with both above apps.. However, when I try to read the CD on a Windows PC, it doesn't see the QT .mov file. It did see the Windows QT Installer and you could use it to install QT for Windows on a Windows PC. What is up with the QT .mov file not showing up on the Windows PC?
Thanks!!!
G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Power Mac Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.5MB RAM

OS 10.4.6 Disk Utility does give you the option for multisession burning. I used Toast T 6 and it's also suppose to support multisession burns. However, since you mentioned it, the file that you could see (QT Windows Installer) on the Windows PC was the second file I burned. The first file was the QT .mov which you couldn't see on the Windows PC. Maybe Toast T 6 has the same limitations as ver. 5? The only thing I can do is try to reburn the CD all in one session, i.e., with the QT Windows Installer and QT .mov file on the same session and see if that works. What do you think?

ITunes COM API for Windows - iTunes 7.7 broken!

I use the iTunes COM API for Windows to control iTunes as part of a program which helps users create audiobooks.
Version 7.7.0.43 of iTunes breaks this software. So far as I can determine, the iTunes.ConvertTracks2 and iTunes.ConvertFiles2 routines are now broken, in that they no longer return a reference to the converted tracks.
Is this a bug on Apple's part, or is it a fundamental change? The COM API documentation describes the earlier behavior, which makes sense.

I'm seeing the exact same behaviour in my application calling the COM API from Perl. No track reference can be obtained after ConvertTracks2 completes.
What's going on?

Use external drive for windows and mac

Hello,
I just bought a external 320Gb Western Digital Drive. I would like to use
the drive for windows and mac.I will not like to make partation on the drive
to use it on both operating systems. Is there any formating system with which i can use in both operating systems? I would like to use time machine feature on that drive also.
Thanx.

If you want to use a disk for both PC/Mac file storage and Time Machine, you will have to create two partitions. Partitioning is sort of like creating multiple virtual disks on the same physical disk. One partition should be formatted for PC (which the Mac can also use) and the other should be formatted for HFS+ (Mac only) which is what Time Machine requires. The Disk Utility application makes partitioning and formatting very easy.
