Modifying output file to access video file

I have a project in multiple languages. One of the topics
accesses several video files (.html). Due to the multiple
languages, these video files, including the underlying .swf and
AC_RunActiveContent.js files, are located on the installation CD in
every language folder causing too many CDs. To reduce the number of
CDs, we'd like those files on the CD once.
I talked to RoboHelp support and the only way to accomplish
this is to modify the path in the output file....redirecting it to
a parent folder. This worked on image files but doesn't with the
video files. When I test it, I'm getting runtime errors. The only
reference listed in the output file is the .html file; there's no
code referencing the underlying .swf or.js files. Does anyone know
if there's some other embedded path somewhere that needs to be
modified to make this work?

Just open the original project FLA, file->export movie->AVI (uncompressed) and set the dimensions as you mentioned. After you get the movie exported from flash, convert that AVI (already the proper size) to the format you need.
If you have the Adobe Suite then you have Adobe Media Encoder. It supports MPEG2 (HDV-HD1 is just a specific set of settings for MPEG2). It's pretty darn easy to set up. No reason to pay for more software if you already have it.

Error while trying access video file in KM Content

Hi All,
I are having an issue while trying to access video files located in KM.
When we try to access the file we get and error : getting content of document failed: /usr/sap/pa8/SYS/global/config/cm/ep/content/73/47/6176162974773.CONTENT (no such file or directory)
The file is a .wmv file and has a size of 49 MB. Whereas some other files of size 34 MB opens up with no issues.
This is happening on production environment but the same works fine in pre prod environment.
I am trying to access the file from Content Administration -> KM Content
This issue is happening for multiple files of larger size in that environment. Please suggest how to rectify the issue.
Regards,
Somnath.

How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
It's a format that the iPad will play
I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

I have backed up my iPad using iTunes to windows 8 Lenora laptop but I could not find my files and play video files in my laptop.

I have backed up my iPad using iTunes to windows 8 Lenora laptop but I could not find my files and play video files in my laptop

You cannot access files in the backup on your computer.
Do you mean that you synced with iTunes and transferred your purchased videos and app documents? If that is what you mean, what videos are you talking about? If they are videos that you took with the iPad, they do not sync to iTunes. What files?
What exactly are you trying to do? Details please.

How do you lock a wav file to a video file in imovie?

I am importing separate wav and video files. How do I lock the audio file to the video file after I sync them so that when I cut any video the audio stays in sync? Or is there a way to embed the new audio into the video footage?

You can do that in Final Cut Pro X, but not in iMovie.
A good workaround in iMovie is to line up the WAV file with your video clip. Then use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME/Movie to QuickTime Movie/Options/Video Options/Compression/Apple Intermediate Codec. Save this file to a place you can find it. Then import it back into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

SOLVED: Getting an Input/Output error when accessing certain files

My system started failing a few days ago because of sudden Input/Output errors when trying to access certain files. It was running fine until various applications started crashing like for example Pidgin (in retrospect probably because of DBus crashing). I decided to reboot and now can't login anymore because the DBus module fails to load which in turn means that HAL doesn't load either and so I can't use my keyboard to login.
The error message I get from DBus is that it can't access the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.conf because of an Input/Output error. I tried to fix/see what was wrong using the arch livecd. Because I thought my problem had to do with a pacman update that had failed before I'd rebooted, I updated my system and I noticed that when pacman tried to access other files it came back with the same error message. The files seemed pretty random, one of them was fakeroot.conf and then several library files like libfaad (sorry this is kind of vague but I'm away from home right now and can't go online very often so I'm writing this from memory).
I'm guessing its a hard drive problem because checking the filesystem for errors came back with nothing. I was just wondering whether anyone had any other ideas before I go and reinstall. I'm going back home tomorrow so I'll be able to follow any advice/reinstall then.

UPDATE
It seems to be fixed! The second run of e2fsck fixed some more issues and the files that were causing the problems earlier seemed to have bad inodes. Boots fine now and I can get into my system. I checked and I still have a reasonable amount of free space so I don't think that was the reason ... I have no idea how the filesystem got so corrupted out of nowhere.
A few things are different, for example, it asked me to unlock the keyring and I couldn't mount my external encrypted drive anymore and had to do it manually with cryptsetup. e2fsck made quite a few changes so I imagine it's due to that. Shouldn't be to hard to fix though.
Thanks for your help!

Can Time Capsule be used to access video files for editing? Or do I need a wired hard drive using USB/Firewire/Thunderbolt?

MORE INFO ABOUT WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO:
I'm using Final Cut Express 4 and would like to store my video clips on an external hard drive so the internal hard drive in my MacBook Pro 13 doesn't have to work so hard. I heard from a reliable source that it might be impossible to access the files wirelessley though, meaning that I might need to get a wired external hard drive that uses USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
-Rick

The experts in the iPhoto, Aperture and iMovie support areas all strongly advise against trying to locate a "working" library on a network drive, like the Time Capsule, even if the Mac is hard wired to the Time Capsule. Things would be a lot more dangerous with a wireless connection.
Apple does as well:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto (or other image) library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
You might want to post in the Final Cut Express support area to see if the folks over there feel the same way.
Final Cut Express HD
Your best best....if you do not have the space on your Mac's hard drive.....would be to add a USB, FireWire or Thunderbolt drive directly to the Mac to establish a "local" connection. This is much better and more reliable setup that trying to use a network drive, like a Time Capsule.
Use the Time Capsule for its designed and intended purpose....your backups.....not "working" files. Time Machine on your Mac can back up both your Mac and the attached hard drive to the Time Capsule.

I am trying to extract an .Irtemplate file to access a file of lightroom presets I just purchased online

I'm trying to extract an Irtemplate file to access my purchased lightroom presets. Each time I select it, I get an error saying I don't have an application to unzip the file. Apple looked into it and says it is either a problem with my lightroom or I am lacking a plugin from you to do so. Can you help me?

Quicktime Movie File/ MPEG-4 Video File

how come for some of my video podcasts they are in teh MPEG-4 Video file format, while others are in Quicktime Movie File format?
i was j/w this because i noticed it when i jus recently downloaded new podcasts (it was first time downloading a podcast from iTunes 7.0.2) and i was jus wonderin if there is any way to get it into MPEG-4 Video File....because i already right clicked and went to "convert selection for ipod" but then it says it is already in that format, but it is in Quicktime Movie File....
any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Brandon

Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
transferable to your iPod.
If you get info on the video file in question what
does it say?
when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

Need to determine which project files uses a video file

Short of going through each of my FCP project files one by one, is there any way to find out which of my project files uses a particular video file?
Thanks,
John Link

As long as it has a name you can search for it.
The problem is not to find a media file, it is to find all the project files that use a media file. Thanks, cometmace, for providing a solution to that problem, and welcome to the Apple Discussions.

Accessing Video File within .Jar

Ok, I am creating a project where I am using JMF to display several pre-created videos. The finished project is going to be placed on a cd and submitted in a contest. Because of this, I am compiling the finished project into an executable .jar file. From my previous experiences, I have found that accessing files inside a jar is much more complex than accessing just any old file. The only way I have found to successfully access files inside a jar is through InputStreams (opposed to URLs). This is where my issues begin.
I have been searching throughout the internet for the past 2 days trying to find any way to create a Player using a type of InputStream. This doesnt seem to be possible the way it is set up. My obsticle here seems to be getting the Manager to realize the File. Here is what I've tried and the errors I got:
File -- NoPlayerException -- Expected. When creating a file, it doesnt know to look inside the jar for the file, but to the location of the jar instead. Perhaps there is a way to tell URL to look for the file inside the jar. If so, please tell me how.
File movie = new File("video1.mpeg");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File: " + movie + "\n URL: " + movie.toURL() + "\n URI: " + movie.toURI() + "\n URL Parsed URI: " + movie.toURI().toURL(), "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE); //JOptionPane used to display background information while program is running after compiled in .jar
MediaPanel mediaPanel = new MediaPanel(movie.getURL());
InputStream -- Compiling Error -- So my primary method of getting Files inside jars are out the window since there is no way to get the URL of InputStreams.
InputStream movie = getClass().getResourceAsStream("video1.mpeg");
MediaPanel mediaPanel = new MediaPanel(movie);
Creating MediaLocator to file location -- java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: video1.mpeg -- I assume that basically means I'm screwed.
MediaLocator movie = new MediaLocator("video1.mpeg");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File: " + movie + "\n URL: " + movie.getURL(), "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
MediaPanel mediaPanel = new MediaPanel(movie.getURL());
Using URL to get into .jar -- NoPlayerException -- No clue about this one. Just tried this a minute ago.
URL movie = HannibalProject.class.getResource("video1.mpeg");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "URL: " + movie, "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE); // Displays "URL: jar:file:/G:/Latin/HannibalProject.jar!/video1.mpeg" I do not know if this is correct or not, perhaps someone could tell me.
MediaPanel mediaPanel = new MediaPanel(movie);If anyone can help me with this, I will be GREATLY appreciative. If anyone needs more information, additional code snippets, ect. please ask and I'll provide what is needed to help me.

And there arises the pain-in-the-ass that is not yet clear to me. For this particular thing, it needs to be an application, not an applet. Which means I have to make it an executable (alternative might be a .bat, havent played with those for anything other than scripts) instead of something embedded. For whatever reasons, this is the efficiency of the school system or whatever the hell it is.
The simple fact in all of this is that I have no information about the computer this is going to be ran on. Effectively, I am doing this all in the dark right now because I have been given NO guarantee that the computer(s) I attempt to run this on will even have the Java Virtual Environment on it. And, unfortunately, I have no way of finding any of this out because the Computer Program category of these things are not yet been taken seriously so preparation for judging is a last-minute thing.
Basically, I am wanting to do this with the least amount of possibilities for Murphy's Law (which means I probably shouldnt be using JMF to begin with, but I hate that incomplete feeling) to happen. For the dark abyss I am traveling into, I'm wanting to leave as little external dependencies as possible. For applets, I have to assume that the computer has some sort of browser (sounds stupid, but it is the school system). Not to mention I've designed it from the ground up to work as an application, instead of an applet (roughly 20 hours of work so far, including text research and coding).
The contest is Jan 30 so the date is approaching real quick. Quite honestly, the more I am looking at it, the more I am starting to consider getting rid of the videos altogether since I am pretty much done with the project with the exception of that. I would have 9 videos total (made only 1 to make sure it would work before making the other 8). The videos itself would only add an additional flair at best, and pretty much guarantee the 1st place for me. My teacher thinks my program's current capabilities, with just a mouse hover and mouse clicking interface with some animated gifs that allows access to several neatly displayed texts, would probably win me first place. However I feel I would go crazy if I actually had legitimate competition for once and lost because I didnt include this damn multimedia. Not to mention I want to include this on my portfolio in the somewhat distant future (along with my Poker Program I finished last month)...I dont know where I'm going with this...

How do I modify the Long Description of video files, so that it shows up when on the iPad or using Home Sharing?

The content manually inserted into the Description field in iTunes does not display in either the iPad Video App nor when using Home Sharing. I then used MetaX to populate the Long Description field, which one cannot modify directly in iTunes. However, the descriptions still do not show up on either the iPad or when using Home Sharing. The problem is only with TV shows that I ripped from legitimate DVDs; items bought from iTunes seem to work fine. So I opened up a file bought on iTunes with MetaX, and the Long Description field is not even populated leading me to believe Apple had that information stored elsewhere. This is getting so frustrating, and Apple customer care does not seem to care.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Where has Apple hidden the long descriptions for TV shows that do show up on Home Sharing? Is there other 3rd party software that may fix the problem? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

AVI file giving Audio/Video file has no streams

I try to import into CS5 Premiere Pro and it gives me the error. I am running on a Mac and the file works in VLC. It's pretty frustrating not to see the video except in the VLC player.

Welcome to the forum.
Playing a file is separate from editing that same file - totally different. Playability can contribute some info, but can also instill a false sense of security. Players, like VLC, are very good for playing, as they contain about everything needed, right in the player. They do not rely on the installed CODEC's in the system, so being able to edit that same file, may well prove impossible, as the NLE program will have to rely on the installed system CODEC's. Also, even if one has the particular, necessary CODEC installed, it does not mean that the NLE program can actually use it. This ARTICLE will give you a bit more background.
As Harm mentions, it is likely an issue with at least one stream of the file and the CODEC that is needed to decode it. If you have a muxed file (both Audio and Video streams) you need two CODEC's - one for each stream. Next, they BOTH must work in PrPro. It is likely that you are either missing, one or both, or that PrPro cannot use one, or both. VLC Player doesn't need them from the system, as it obviously contains them internally. MediaPlayer Classic HC, and some others are good this way - they play almost everything. However, they do not insure that one has the CODEC installed and that it will work in the NLE. Great for playing, but not so good for insuring that that same file will edit properly.
Good luck, and let us know what is inside that AVI file. This ARTICLE will give you some background on "AVI," and what can be inside that "wrapper."
