.mov vs .mp4- what to do with my original files?

I have a macbook air that im using Imovie 11. After I import my gopro to Imovie, I'd like to get rid of the old .MP4 files, that imovie seems to convert into LARGER .mov files. I don't know if I should keep my original footage from my gopro HD which are stored as .MP4 files. I'd prefer to throw them out, but don't know if I *should* keep them.
I am storing ALL files (both the original Gopro .MP4 files AND the converted imovie .mov files) on an external drive and I believe I'm doing things right in that department. I selected move, not copy, but the original .MP4 files are still there.
If I throw out my old .mp4 files will I be sorry? I'm not doing anything terribly important with them, just family footage, but I'd hate to get rid of the files and be sorry I did.

Yeah, but unfortunately; I can't export the music from iTunes to a hard drive. That's the problem. I can only export to CD but then I'll have to use a million discs and I don't want to do that.

Versions with unavailable original files cannot be exported.

I have imported some photos into Aperture and worked on them, exported some etc. but when I disconnected the memory card I realized I had the yellow triangle and I was not able to export the photos and had this message: Versions with unavailable original files cannot be exported.
When I re-connected the memory card the the yellow triangle disappeared and I was able to work with the images.
How can I get rid of the triangle without having to connect the memory card?
"Locate referenced files" command didn't work.
Please speak slowly as I am not super technical! :-)

In the Import dialogue, you apparently have selected to store originals in their current location -- not a good plan when they are on a memory card. Select where you want them in the future.
With this particular card mounted, you should be able to take the originals into the Aperture Library, and if desired, later move them to be referenced.

Question. How do I update / modify my site? Do I work with the original file "modify"?

How do I update / modify my site? Do I work with the original file "modify"?

Not sure why modify is in quotes ... but yes you work with the original and then publish again or export the HTML again.

Versions with unavailable original files

"Versions with unavailable original files cannot be shared."
But I store all originals in the Aperture file. All in one place.
I would like to make a smart album that would show me which images are lacking originals but don't see the right criteria to check- anyone have ideas?
(If it matters? All previews are 'don't limit' and '12'. Why? Because I need to drag images from Preview to FileMaker; when you drag from aperture you drag previews, not originals, and I need to drag the full size image).

We are on FM Pro Advanced v13. I use Advanced because I need the additional scripting utilities and the custom menus. I know about Media Browser but never thought of using it. Maybe I should describe the project.
I'm preparing a reference book on plant material for zones 10+ (Tropicals), and in the course of this work over the past few years have been collecting photographs (with the iPhone more and more, as it turns out). The photo collection is nowhere near complete; I am adding perhaps 50 images a week and will be doing so for another year or so– have to catch the plants flowering.
The editorial portion of the research is managed in Scrivener (that's where I write my weekly column so I'm used to it). FMP isnt really suitable as a text editor, although I do use it in my practice for memos and proposal. And believe it or not, I track citations in TextEdit.
Back to FMP: as the research progresses we have mocked up pages, thinking how they might look. I also use the database in my normal practice as a landscape architect. Both of these uses require photos, but the photos are in Aperture.
The workflow in Aperture involved assigning stars to images and uploading them to Flickr for my co-author to review.
To get the images over to FMP, I just drag them from Aperture to FMP container fields. And THAT is why I have the previews so big.
This is very far from ideal mostly because there is no linked relationship. In the end, I always imagined I would delte all photos from FMP and start over, dragging images to the appropriate record. This actually makes some sense because sometimes there are a dozen photos of each plant but only 6 container fields in each record. I could add more but realistically getting a dozen into print will be a miracle. More, even less so.
That's my story and suggestions are very welcome. It's clunky as ****.

What to do with js, css files

I hope this question is appropriate for this forum because I have scratched my head for hrs. I am in the mission of finding a simple drop down menu and came across to this site http://css-tricks.com/simple-jquery-dropdowns/
It uses minimum jquery and CSS to achieve it. Looks like it is reasonable for a novice to tackle. Codes are downloaded and unzipped ( there are css,images,js). Question is how do I even get this to run under my test application ? I would think I need to import the image files but what to do with the rest of files? they are not plugin. Could any guru give me a jump start ?
Any help is appreciated.
ZenG

You should be able to import them into APEX under "Shared Components - Static Files" and "Shared Components - CSS". Then you can include the files in your page template using the following html code:
for js files
<script src="#APP_IMAGES#hoverIntent.js"></script>for css files
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#APP_IMAGES#style.css" type="text/css" />After a quick glance, I don't think you'll need the image they have included.

What to do with "Unix Executable Files"?

What do I do with Unix Executable Files? I've tried navigating to them in Terminal and typing in the file name but that doesn't work. How do I execute them?
I'm trying to install some web development framework software, and it appears that the command names start with the file I'm referring to but when I'm in the directory containing the Unix Executable File and type in the file name followed by a command it doesn't work. I get "command not found"

Hi warpdesign,
   In old-style shell environments, all files in the current working directory were defined to be in your PATH, where the shell looks for executables. That was before Trojan Horses. Now you have to specify the current working directory in the command line. Fortunately there is a nice "shorthand" for that. If foo.sh is an executable in the current working directory then it can be invoked this way:
./foo.sh
   If you're interested in learning a little more about UNIX, I used to have a long post of links to what I think are some of the better beginning UNIX tutorials and books. However, as others posted great links and I stole them, my post became too long so I put it in a web page. Bill Scott did the same thing so here is Bill's and here is mine.

What is wrong with my txt file or merge doc?

I'm trying to merge data from a txt file. It's for name badges. I've got the document designed (8-1/2 x 11" Avery 5392, 6 badges per sheet) and connected successfully to my data source. There are only 4 types of info in the txt file (agency name, state, name, title). When I create the merge fields for each badge position and click preview, I only get the first record repeated into each of the 6 locations on the page. What am I missing or doing wrong? I'm using InDesign CS2.
I've attached the txt file.
I've also attempted this with a csv file with and got the same results.
Thanks.

I downloaded your sample files, and here is what I had to adjust:
1, I made the master page a single page; not facing pages. I changed from inches to picas
2. I made two layers: one for graphics and second for text, above the graphics layer
3. I put the artwork ai file on the graphics layer on the master page
4. I deleted 5 of 6 duplicate text frames on page 1; leaving only the first upper left text frame
5. I moved that lone textframe to the master page, in the same relative position
6. Text in that text frame should have been controlled with paragraph styles, BTW, but that is a detail
7. I returned to view page 1
Then, going to the DataMerge panel, I turned on preview and also clicked the right-most button at the bottom of the panel to setup the merge.
All records and Multiple Records per document page
Then, onto the Multiple Record Layout tab:
Top margin 16pica
Bottom margin 3pica
Left margin 2pica
Right margin 2pica
Spacing between columns 1p6
Spacing between rows 11p6
Check on Preview Multiple Record Layout
OK to generate
So, it turns out your txt file was OK as it was.

What to do with an ISO file?

I've downloaded a zip file which has expanded to an iso file - I thought i needed to burn it to dvd before opening but nothings happened.... it does look like it hasn't fully uncompressed.... any ideas? Thanks....

An ISO is yet another compressed file. So your compressed ZIP archive was just a compressed ISO archive (double-zip!). Not sure why anyong would do that, but simply copying the ISO to a disc won't work. You'll end up with a single file (the ISO) burned on the disc.
You need to do a "burn image" session. Nearly all burning software has that ability. Basically the burning software unzips the archive to disc during the burn so that you end up with a multitude of files on your disc.
ISO is particularly useful when imaging a bootable disc, and then making copies from that image that boot like the original.
Good luck.

What's wrong with my Quartz files?

I have an issue with Quartz Composer files. Some screensaver files, like arabesque, shell spectrum, and RSS visualizer, crash system preferences whenever i try to select them. Also, the actual files (the ones in the system folder) make the finder crash whenever i try to open them or use quick look. I've already replaced the files thinking they were corrupted, but it keeps happening. I transferred the files to my old iMac G5 and it reads them just fine! Help!!
Also, iChat keeps crashing whenever i try to use the video effects.

Have you by any chance installed the beta version of the upcoming Safari? If so, that's the problem. See this thread for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7975911
If you aren't using the beta Safari afraid I don't know. Mine are all working just fine in 10.5.5. I don't use iChat, so don't know if that would be affected by the same problems.

Create a Document with an original file stored on application server

Hello,
I start with document managment system : i am able to create new document (CV01N) manually, add a local file and check-in this file.
Now we need to store file which are stored on the SAP Application Server.
Firstly, in the GUI of transaction CV01N, i don't know how to browse file on application server. All files i can't attach as original, are files i can access from my computer.
Is it possible to access also on application server files ?
Moreover, i have to define function module which have to
- Create a document (DMS)
- Attach an orginial file which is stored on application server
- Check-in the file
This function module will be called from a web application
I define this kind of function and run it correctly with a local file (stored on my computer) : i call BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2" and "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2"
But i don't how to do with a file stored on application server. I see also note 504692 and try a program like ZZUZTEST_TEST_CHECKIN which use FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN but it return an error Error uploading E:\usr\sap\TD1\DVEBMGS00\data\FACTURE.txt" (this path and file exist on application server and is really the file i want to checkin)
Please could you confirm what i search, is possible or not.
If possible, could help me with some explanations and guidelines and perhaps a sample ?
Thank you very much.

This is a bit tricky. I spent lots of hours about this .
You have to set PF_HOSTNAME with your name of your AS and gives the path to the file on the server.
You wrote
*PF_HOSTNAME = w_host
But beware: if you have more thän one AS you have to fix one AS for upload or you have to find the servers name of the file. A better way can be to share one folder by each AS.
You also have to decide between HTTP or FTP.
You wrote:
PF_FTP_DEST = 'SAPFTPA'
PF_HTTP_DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'
You must define only one ! Then you have to check your settings in SM59 about working right.
Pls rate, if this was helpful.

Status Change with Compulsory Original File Attachment

Hi,
We have created a document with 3 statuses (Created, Acknowledged, Released).
DIR will be created with "Created" status.
When the status will change to u201CAcknowledgedu201D system should check whether the DIR has a original file checked in. i.e. Changing status should be have mandatory condition of original is attached.
Same for the transition from "Acknowledged" to "Released"
How to do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan

Hi Pradeep,
Does the status type help?
Also does the BAdi suggested can be used only for the single document type or will be across all the document types?
regards,
Pavan

"file is not compatible when import assets in dvd studio pro, my file are .mov and .mp4, what is the problem?

i have a MacBook Pro v. 10.7.5, also have dvd studio pro 4.2.2
I have a file exported from final cut v. 7, using quick time movie option, it created a file with .mov. When I import to dvd studio pro, I have an error
message " file is not compatible". shall I export again using different parm? settings? thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks, Russ. I had my problem resolved by re-creating file from Final Cut using the "Video Format" as "MPEG-4 improved" instead of "H.264" before.
My orginial source is a dvd came from Taiwan, I used software 'Handbrake' to convert it to MPEG-4. Input to Final Cut to edit it. Exported out with H.264 as Video Format, wishing to improve the image quality but run into 'file impaitable' when import to DVD SP.
Now. I exported out Final Cut using the following parms, pictures quality is not bad.
1. File format = MP4
2. Image size= 1280x720 HD
3. frame rate = 30
4. video format = MPEG-4 Improved
hope this help people who might run into same problem. I never use the Compressor, will try it next time. thanks Russ.

I suddenly cannot play movies!! what's up with that?

What to do with MPEG-1 Files!?!?

I am trying to blend some photos and video together to make a movie (and ultimately a DVD). I am totally flying by the seat of my pants here, but now I realize that the video files I was given are MPEG-1 and nothing on my machine appears to be compatible... and guidence about what I can do to convert the files or get the programs I DO have to deal with the files in their current form?
Thanks in advance.
Jen

MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert your MPEG-1 files to DV Stream for use in any iMovie version.
