Media manager 32 bit only?

Is there a 64 bit solution? or other program that works for this? Is it even neccessary?

Media Manage 10-Bit to DV

I've just captured DigiBeta material via SDI to Uncompressed 10-Bit and storing on a 1 Ter G-Raid on FW800.
To do my editing a little speadier I thought to use Media Manager and copy the files, but recompressing them as DV media... editing from those and then reconnecting to the uncompressed files for final rendering.
300 Gig and 3 hrs later the files were transfered but when I dragged them into a DV timeline each one was flickery when viewed on my PAL monitor. Looked fine on the Cinema Display though.
The timeline is OK as I've got other DV material successfully on it and I've checked the settings on the browser to see if there are any differences between the media managed DV files and other DV files that I have just digitised in. All seems idendical.
At first I thought it was a field dominance thing so tried changing the settings for the errant files in the browser but that gave no joy.
I have made the pictures look smooth by de-interlacing with a Nattress G Fast De-Interlacer, (media field order - lower, select field - first,) but then of course everything needs rendering and that will be a pain for subsequent editing.
I'd even thought of rendering the whole of each file and reconnecting to each render file instead of the DV file. Then editing in the normal way and afterwards reconnecting again but to the uncompressed 10-Bit files.
Is this file recompression problem a "quirk" on media manager?
Is there a better way to do this... keeping TC information intact and hopefully being able to copy multiple files at a time?
Can I get rid of the flicker on the errant DV files a different way without using a filter that will incur a red render bar?
As an aside, my system is always rock solid and never crashes - but I've only edited with a DV timeline to date. My system has quit a couple of times over the last 2 days on this 10-Bit project and I'm wondering if its because I'm pushing the limits by using a FW800 G-Raid for media storage. (Project files saved to an internal extra drive and auto save files to the system drive.)
I've trashed / repaired and copied my system back from a cloned back-up, (and then repaired and run through Onyx,) so I'm sure that my Mac is healthy.
Oodles of thanks in advance for encouraging words of wisdom.

Not sure what caused your problem, as I've done the same with 8 bit to DV with MM and it worked fine... so?
To really have a smooth offline/online experience though, down convert the 10 bit to offline RT... or another photo JPEG compression... it can look as good as DV and be smaller file size wise at the same time. I recall a 75% Compression quality setting looked really good, and the files ranged in size of course, but came out to about 30% smaller than had they been DV files, and looked better actually. (also maintained 4:2:2 color space that way)
OfflineRT is a 35?% or so photo JPEG compression, and would be 1/8th the size of a DV file of the same footage.

VCAST media manager...cant use for vista 64 bit

How can I easily transfer music,etc to my phone from my computer...I have Windows Vista 64 bit version and the media manager says it only supports the 32 bit version. What the heck? that's not fair! there has to be another way...what is it?

i use Win 7 x64. The Motorola Media Link software works fine. You can download it here: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Software/Motorola-Media-Link-US-EN

Vcast Media Manager Software

Im running windows 7 (64 bit) Vcast Media Manager Software will only run on 32 bit OS, does anyone have any solutions so that it will run on 64 bit OS? Appreciate any help on this matter. thanks:

64bit computing has been standard for almost 1/2 a year now. I am not talking about high end machines either. Even cheap, low end machines have come standard with 64bit versions of Windows 7 (under $400).
Please Verizon, get a 64bit version out ASAP.
46 percent of all computers running Windows 7 are using the 64-bit edition
Until then, everyone who is running x64 machines use dazzboard (beta) or DoubleTwist.
From a buisness standpoint, I see the lack of x64 support as being a loss in potential revenue that could have been gained from customers purchasing media driectly from the V CAST Media Manager.

Media Manager Sequence Error when trying to archive video.

When we are done with a project we like to use media manager to consolidate only the used video (with handles) to save space.
This has never posed a problem until lately. On about five of the last projects when the media manager begins reconnecting media we get the following error:
"Sequence Error: Unable to add clip to sequence. Possible media limits problem in clip or sequence"
The only option is to abort so a new sequence is never created. Also, it will not tell me which clip caused the error. I tried moving everything into a new sequence and got the same error. Then I tried it without handles, then I tried it without deleting the unused media. I have also tried the projects on other computers (All 10.6.4, all FCP 7.02) All had the same error.
The only other reference to this error I can find deals with a multicam edit. None of these projects have any multicam edits.
Anyone got any ideas what is going wrong? I have tried to think if we are doing anything differently lately and the only thing i can come up with is using more of Tiffen's DFX filters.

May have found the solution. Short story: I think it was some weirdness trying to media manage a sequence with a freeze frame of a video clip. I have had some issues in the past with final cut handling freeze frames.
Long story and workaround is available here:

Media Manager Trim changes timecode to Drop-frame.

Have a project with footage shot on AJA Kona Ki at 29.97Psf using Apple ProRes 422(HQ). Timecode base Non-Drop-frame time-of-day timecode. Editing in CS6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.7. Trying to trim project using media manager so that only the used media can get color-graded using Filmlight's Baselight. Once the project is trimmed and new trimmed media is created, we export an EDL from the new sequence and conform in the Baselight.
However it seems Premiere is changing the timecode of the new clips to Drop-frame timecode. The EDL seems to reflect this and the Baselight can't conform. We've imported the trimmed media into FCP 7 and confirmed that it sees the new media as Drop-frame timecode. What the heck?
Can anyone help to replicate this issue and confirm if we're seeing what we're seeing. Think it is a huge bug of some kind. If I can get someone to help confim, I'll submit a bug report.
While on the topic of drop-frame. Premiere also seems to think is needs to compensate for DF code when you import a sequence from a Premiere project straight into Adobe Media Encoder. For instance a sequence that is set to start at 01:00:00:00 imports into AME with starting timecode of 01:00:03:15. Or at least it's always 3:15 off from whatever timecode the sequence is set to start at. That sounds like the offset needed to compensate for the difference between NDF and DF code. This makes bringing one sequence in and setting in and outs while in AME a very big pain. Such as a sequence with 10-30sec spots starting at the even minute. Can anyone help to confirm this issue as well?

Thanks for the help.

I just looked at the data in the edl. Exported also a new edl from premiere.
In the Premiere edl, there is many FCM at start, so I added one in the AVID, and bang, project is starting correctly.
Before : (From Avid)
TITLE: TEST 720P 29,97 EDL
FCM: NON-DROP FRAME

After editing:

Media Manager on multiple Sequences

I just completed a very large project that contains over 135 Sequences.
Sounds insane....it really is.
For some reason I thought you could select the sequences and go to media manager but MM only seems to work on an individual open seq.
Am I correct?

I have it working now.
Trashed prefs seemed to fix it.

Vcast Media Manager -- where is support for 64-bit windows computers??

I purchased a Droid 2 in October, when I plug it into my computer it brings up Verizon Vcast Media Manager page to download that program (which is good because I want to get my music onto my phone from my desktop computer). But only after download attempt does it tell me that said program will only support a 32-bit operating system. Well, I, my wife, and a lot of other people have a 64-bit operating system. Is Verizon really that far behind the times? Seriously has no one noticed this, a 32-bit machine is outdated these days. Why can i not hook my Droid up to my puter, I thought this was smartphone technology... Maybe the phone is smarter than Verizons Programmers?? To VZW, please correct me if I am wrong, or fix the problem if I am correct.

Currently there is no 64bit version available at this time, and no ETA to when one will be available. I would recommend as an alternative using the Droid 2 as a mass storage drive to transfer music. I have included the instruction in an article below:
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=34780
If it still does not recognize it as a device, try putting it in USB debugging mode. Instruction article given below:
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31366
***As long as a memory card is present in the device, it will show up as a drive on your personal computer. Once it shows up as a drive, you can drag and drop music and media files on the Droid 2.

Using Media Manager to Decompose offline clips only (Like Avid)

OK... Here's the scenario. I have a Timeline sequence lasting 10 mins. This timeline has been edited direclty from 20 x 1 hour clips from 20 x 1 hour tapes with timecode. I have stored the media on 2 external FW800 drives but one of the drives has failed leaving me with a timeline with half of the clips missing iy's media. The edit is at a pretty final stage and we need to re-dig the media but want to only re-dig that which is missing.
Using Media manager or any other software element is there a way of batch capturing only the short offline (decomposed) clips from the timeline without re-digising the whole of the 10 hours which is missing from the drives. Also., to make things more complicated, this has to be done automatically i.e. without re-editing the clips from the browser back into the timeline.
I would be most grateful for any help on this matter as this is the only thing that seperates Avid Media Composer from FCP as a proper media manager tool.
Thanks!!!

haven't tried this but it may be worth some investigation.
try exporting an XML of your sequence and passing that to the director
on the director's FCP setup, import the xml, and in the Import XML... window uncheck the "Override with setting from XML" checkbox, and choose the approriate offline res that matches the directors media.
see if the resulting sequence will reconnect

VCast media manager doesn't run under W7 64-bit

How do I download music to my new Droid 2. When I tried to install Vcast Media Manager, it aborted because it does not support 64-bit OS.
I'm not interested in having a 32-bit OS just to support one application.
Thanks
<Chas>

I have a 64-bit OS on my Laptop, as well, and experienced the same message.
I noticed that when I first plugged my phone into my PC the Windows Explorer came up and allowed me to browse my entire Droid 2 files. But, after allowing Motorola to continue to install the "needed" drivers/software, I was no longer able to browse my phone with Windows Explorer. So, I uninstalled the two Motorola files that install whenever I plug my phone into my PC, and viola! the Windows Explorer works again.
Therefore, the solution for moving files back and forth from your PC to your phone is to not use the VCast Media Manager and just use the Windows Explorer that defaults when you first plug your phone into your computer USB port. When prompted to allow Motorola to modify your computer, say "no". By doing this, your phone won't go to the Verizon Website and block your ability to use the Windows Explorer from there on out.
You'll need to say "no" everytime you plug your phone into your PC, but at least you'll have the file management needed.

X64 bit support for Media Manager

Does anyone know when 64 bit support will be written for the Media Manager. I am currently using a work around by setting my phone as an external drive and Windows Media Manager to sync my music, but I would like to use a more intergrated piece of software so that I don't have to do so many different things to customize my Droid X.
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition x64.

Hello! This is Noah with Verizon Wireless. Hope you are having a great day!
I apologize but currently there is no information on the release of an update for the V Cast Media Manager software.

Media Manage audio only

How can I do the media manager on the audio without the video?
The audio is contained in the video and if I want to media manage on the audio track, it will copy the video wasting space. There are no video in the timeline.
I already exported OMF but I need to send this to someone keeping it in FCP with the filters in it. Without the video, of course.
Also - these were multi-clips. I collapsed them all.

Maybe after that, I can use Compressor to create new files without the video and relink it from there. Think that will work?
No idea....never done it. you can test and report back...then we'll know.
Are there any other cons in capturing audio separately besides having to merge them in the project?
No merging needs to be done. The clip will point to both the audio and the video files. just like Avid clips do (Avid always captures Video and Audio separately...individual tracks too!)

Media Manager in FCPX?

Hey everyone,
I couldn't find this addressed anywhere so if it has been already, I apologize.
Does anyone know if there is the FCP 7 equivalent of the Media Manager option in FCPX? I'll explain my situation...
I work in a high school and cut highlight reels for our football players. By the end of the season I have literally hundreds of GBs of footage on my hard drive. In FCP 7 I would import all of the footage into my project and then cut out only the plays I needed. I would end up with a 5 minute video. I wanted to save the project in case the player wanted any changes down the line and I also wanted to back it up in case of a hard drive crash. What I would do is run it through Media Manager so that the whole project would compress down and only copy the files that were actually used in the video. I would end up with a project and copied reference files that only took up a few GBs at most. That was easy to archive and back up.
I'm cutting highlight reels this year using FCPX for the first time. I've finished the first one and have been genuinely happy with the workflow of the actual edit. Somethings have been much easier for me. However, as I'm wrapping up the first couple, I went to recompress them using to Media Manager to archive and back up and can't find the equivalent in FCPX. I've searched around a bit and also can't find anyone who has already addressed this issue.
Anyone out there having this same issue and found a solution? It would be a huge help...

I fully understand what you'd like to accomplish.
but - theoretically - with your method you save the same material again and again:
aside close-ups, you frame more than one player in a sequence.
with FCPX actual method, that single Event serves many Projects.
so, you SAVE space without consolidating every Project.
plus, the 'duplicate Project' dialog allows you to transfer a Project and only USED clips to some ext drive.... keep that version, and erase original Project & Events.

4.6 media manager VERY slow

Hello everyone!
I recently installed blackberry desktop manager with media manager 4.6 on my hp laptop and just even opening the media manager program let alone doing anything takes 5-8+ minutes for it to do anything. And even just starting the media manager i want to go make a sandwich and come back. I really have no idea what is going on with this. Everything else works just fine including the desktop manager and quick but for some reason the media manager just fails at life. I have tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it a few times and fully cleaning out the program from the comuter and that has not helped the problem at all. The computer definatly fast enough that it should eat this program in no time. The computer is a new dv7 that is brand new and just did a system recovery to brand new state with a p7350 intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz, 4 gb ram, 500gb hdd so I know that is not the speed of the PC causing it. One thing I did take notice is that when the blackberry is disconneted the program is almost usable the only thing that I might be able to think is that the program just hates vista 64 bit. Has anyone else experianced this problem and maybe know a way to fix it. and one other thing that I took notice that is a little strange when I click on media in desktop manager instead of being present with sync or media manager it goes and just opens the media manager. Any ideas anyone? Thank you in advance.

I avoid use of Roxio Media Manager.
It is not a well-written software. It is a buggy and non-reliable tool to work with media files.
I prefer to turn on "Mass storage mode support" in Options-Media card and transfer media files directly to my blackberry from desktop computer as an usb-drive.
Below there is link with technical explanation - how to use your blackberry as a usb device:

Media Manager modifed storage wrong

I am trying to make a copy of a 22 minute sequence and it's media to a new volume using media manager.
the media is 10-bit uncompressed HD. my original storage was 2.2 TB and i had nearly 5 hours of footage. Now, when i attempt to make a copy out (with 1 second handles) it suggests the copy will be 1TB. this is obviously not calculating right.
I did check all the options (and double checked)...nothing brings the estimated size below 1TB. (in fact no settings...even adding handles...changes it AT ALL)
any thoughts?

The original video is 1080psf 23.98 10bit uncompressed 4:2:2 (captured DIRECTLY to hard drive from a sony cineAlta
I had 5 hours of footage. i made my edit and locked my picture...
now i wan't to make a COPY of the locked picture and ONLY the media used in the timeline (plus 1 second handles).
when selecting the appropriate options in media manager, the "modified" storage size stays exactly the same as the original....even when checking off "delete unused media"
I am familiar with media manager, it appears to be malfunctioning...because NO options, checked on or off, seem to make the modified size change!
thanks in advance for input.
