Need Help Compressing File

I have created a 2 minute video and need to email. However, my email provider limits me to a 10mb file. I am trying to export the file out of final cut studio. I have the ability to export using quicktime or compressor. However, I am unable to find the right settings that will allow me to compress the file down to 10mb or less. Any help and/or suggestions would greatly be appreciated....
Thanks in advance....

On the assumption that you are starting with a DV file, 2 minutes worth of video will be a bit more than 430 MB. You want to get this down to under 10MB which requires something on the order of a 43:1 compression.
The first steps are to reduce the frame size and reduce the frame rate.
Resizing from 720x480 (DV) to 160x120 (square) will reduce the file by a factor of 8. (432/8=54)
Changing the frame rate from 29.97 to 15 will reduce the file by a factor of 2 (54/2=27)
Once you have finished these simple steps, play around with h.264 compression.
Don't forget to reduce the audio to 22khz/mono to further squeeze things.
Good luck.

Need help compressing files for transmission?

I want to move a number of files by compressing them. I had been using Stuffit Expender but for some reason I don't understand, it compresses not just the files I select but others on my desktop as well. So I'm looking to fix this or find alternative.

Do you have the most recent version of Stuffit? http://www.stuffit.com/mac-stuffit.html
There is a free 30 day trial version. Might help you figure out if it is a version problem. But I don't bother since the Mac OS provides the ability both to compress built in.
By the way, Stuffit Expander is free. I try to keep that updated. Althugh even that may not be necessary with the Mac OS doing its magic.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

Need Help With File Matching Records

I need help with my file matching program.
Here is how it suppose to work: FileMatch class should contain methods to read oldmast.txt and trans.txt. When a match occurs (i.e., records with the same account number appear in both the master file and the transaction file), add the dollar amount in the transaction record to the current balance in the master record, and write the "newmast.txt" record. (Assume that purchases are indicated by positive amounts in the transaction file and payments by negative amounts.)
When there is a master record for a particular account, but no corresponding transaction record, merely write the master record to "newmast.txt". When there is a transaction record, but no corresponding master record, print to a log file the message "Unmatched transaction record for account number ..." (fill in the account number from the transaction record). The log file should be a text file named "log.txt".
Here is my following program code:

Much help is appreciated. Please help.

From the output, it looks like one problem is just formatting -- apparently you're including a newline in log entries and not using tabs for the newmast output file.
As to why the numbers are off -- just from glancing over it, it appears that the problem is when you add multiple transaction values. Since account.combine() is so simple, I suspect that you're either adding creating transaction objects incorrectly or not creating them when you should be.
Create test input data that isolates a single case of this (e.g., just the Mary Smith case), and then running your program in a debugger or adding debugging code to the add/combine method, so you can see what's happening in detail.
Also I'd recommend reconsidering your design. It's a red flag if a class has a name with "Create" in it. Classes represent bundles of independant state and transformations on that state, not things to do.

Need help sorting fil

i have a brand new MuVo n200
i need help, i put my cd's in and everyhting and i filled it with songs ans i can play them and everything, but i hate thats itssorted in ABC order. i cannot figure how to put them so it is in order by the CD or the bandname.
please help.
message me on aim if you want [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]

To group the songs into albums or artist groups, I would definitely suggest putting all the tracks from each album/group in its own folder on your PC and put the folder on the muvo in just the same way as you would put a single mp3. The player (in normal play mode) will then play each folder all the way through before moving on to the next one alphabetically (or numerically, if you put numbers at the start of the folder names) and you can then use 'skip folder' to skip through to find the particular album or artist you're looking for. Play around with the shuffle modes too - you can shuffle within folders or just shuffle everything if you want.
Tracks will normally be played alphabetically. To get them to play in order of track number, put numbers at the beginning of each file name. E.g.: file 'examplesong.mp3' would become '0_ examplesong.mp3' If you've got tonnes of songs and you're worried about it taking ages, the computer will do it for you! Click on 'my computer', then click on 'Muvo N200 media explorer'.. This shows the contents of your player. Choose a folder to reorder the songs in and click on it to display the songs. In the pictures along the top of the window, 4th from the right is an icon with a downward facing arrow and an A above a Z. Click on this, it's called 'custom sort'. You can then use the arrows at the bottom to change the order of your tracks to how you want them. Click OK, and they'll all be numbered in that order!
For instructions on how to create folders in mediasource, read the thread in this link:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=926
I don't think you can put folders within folders in the muvo, but just the one layer really helps organisation.
Hope that helps!
x Flaneur
PS- scroll down in the thread in the link: Jeremy CL was nice enough to give pictures in his instructions! If you'd like more help, type 'create folders' or something into the forum search as there's probably quite a lot of advice kicking about here!Message Edited by flaneur on 03-27-2005 :8 PM

I need help transferring files from a locked admin account

I was having trouble connecting to my school's wifi because I couldn't remember my admin password to authenticate the changes. I created a new admin account, and connected to the wifi. I didn't realize by doing this all of my files would be on the old admin account. Now I am completely locked out of the account, and need help getting my files off of it! Any ideas?

New mac user needs help transfering files from Dell...

I have a Dell running Windows XP and need help transfering the files from the dell to the mac.
Also I have no idea what OP system I have, how do you tell which one you have???

Go to the blue Apple menu and scroll down to "About this Mac"
In the summary window that opens you will find the following information:
Mac OS X version (assuming you are running OS X)
Processor speed.
Memory
Startup disk
The More Info button will take you to an in-depth overview of hardware, network set-up and installed software.
As far as transference is concerned, you can either transfer files via CD, DVD, external hard drive... or by networking the two computers.

[JS] Need Help Removing File extension (in CS2 and CS3)

Hello All.
I have a menu in a dialog that needs to list some file names, but without their file extensions (which will always be .txt in my case). The following is some code that successfully does this in CS3, but I also need it to work in CS2. Do you have any other ways to do this? One code that works in both versions (CS2 and CS3) is ideal.
myNameWithoutExtensionFunction = function( myNameWithExtention ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithExtention
myEndOfFileName = myNameWithoutExtension.lastIndexOf( "." ) // get the last period (.) in the filename
if ( myEndOfFileName > -1 ) {
myNameWithoutExtension = myNameWithoutExtension.substr( 0, myEndOfFileName )
return myNameWithoutExtension
Thanks in advance.

I realized my mistake. The above code works just fine in CS2. My mistake was elsewhere. The name I was sending to this function wasn't being recognized by CS2. Once I corrected that and sent a valid name to this function it worked. So in case someone needs to remove file extensions, feel free to use the above function!

Need help compressing a 720p 59.94 DVCPro HD Sequence

I have been working primarily with SD, but now I have an HD sequence I need to compress for the internet that will eventually be posted to matchedit.com.
For the SD sequences I just use the setting in compressor:
H.264 800kbps Streaming setting.
When i use this setting with my 720p 59.94 DVCPro HD Sequence, the quicktime comes out squeezed.
Can someone suggest a better setting that maintains my aspect ration?
thanks,
tim

You need to create a duplicate of that preset so you can edit the aspect ratio. Click on the preset then click on the "Duplicate selected setting" button just below the Settings tab. This will create a copy in the Custom Folder. Highlight the copy you just made then click on the "Geometry" button in the Inspector pane. try setting the frame size to 520 X 280. I think the the Cropping should remain at 0 but you may have to play with this. Then apply this preset.

Need help compressing 140 minute video file for DVD+R

Hi folks,
I am self-teaching Final Cut Studio and DVD Studio Pro. I must admit, the manual is not helping me with some key areas.
My first test in burning a DVD was to load a QT file into FCS then burn it to a standard DVD+R. Now, those say 120 minute capacity of course, so I wanted to compress the file.
I exported to Compressor and chose the DV 120 Minute option the first time. When that did not work I tried the 150 Minute option. Since it takes 3-5 hours for the DVD to burn on my new G5 Dual 2.0, that is all I have had a chance to try so far.
Since neither is working, I assume I am missing a step either in Compressor or in loading the file into DVD Studio Pro.
It burns all the way to 99% and then says '127.5 MB needed to complete' or something like that - in yellow lettering. I take it to mean the video file needs to be 127.5 MB smaller for it to work. I could cut a few minutes out, but that isn't the point.
Can anyone please direct me to either a page in the manual or assist me through this forum as to what error(s) I am making?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

What type of audio are you encoding to? If you're using uncompressed PCM/AIFF you're going to have trouble putting 140 minutes of video on a single-layer DVD (i.e. the quality will have to be pretty low). The preset titles for Apple's settings are calculated based upon compressed Dolby AC-3 audio -- not uncompressed PCM/AIFF. Thus, the so-called 150 minute preset will only produce about 120 minutes of capacity if you are using uncompressed PCM/AIFF audio.
If you want to put 140 minutes of video with audio on a single-layer DVD you're either going to have to use Dolby/AC-3 audio or create your own custom preset to use with PCM/AIFF audio.
However, if you are using compressed Dolby/AC-3 audio (only) then you may just be seeing an inaccuracy in Apple's preset targets (size). In that case just lower the target or average bitrate slightly so that you can fit your 140 minutes on the DVD. Just make a copy of Apple's 150 minute preset and tweak the bitrate slightly down (since that preset seems to be getting close to your target).

Need help opening files created on Mac in PC

Please help! Our old Mac is down and I need to access some files on our network that were created in PM 5. I'm now using a PC that I downloaded the trial of PM 7 onto in hopes of being able to access these files and convert them to InDesign CS4.
Here's my problem:
When I try to open a PM 5 (or even a PM 6.5) file created on the Mac using the PM 7 on the PC I get this message: "File cannot be translated to PC and converted to new version at the same time." Does anyone know how to get around this? Is there another program that will translate the Mac file to PC?

I've read on here that people running Windows XP with SP3 have also had issues with PageMaker files. Could that be the root of my issues?
this only applies to CS2 and PM files.
A co-worker has a MacBook that they're going to bring in next week so I can transfer the files. Is this just going to be a matter of me opening the files on the Mac and saving them as a pmd file on our network drive, then going into my PC and opening them in either PM7 or InDesign (which is where I'll be doing all the updates)?
This will not work. Pagemaker needs to run in Classic on a Mac running OSX. A MacBook is an Intel chip and does not support Classic. You either need an old Mac that boots OS9 or a PowerPC Mac that will run Classic. As long as they are PM6 or better they should open no problem in IDCS3 and 4.
My offer still stands if you need to get started.

Need help embedding file on site...

I'm trying to embed a swf file on a site. Here a link to the file on a page that works.
Example
Problem is, I need to place it on a different site (we have two servers) and it's not working once I link to the file on the other server. Below is the code. I've highlighted the part that I changed. Any help?
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="640" height="480" id="FlashDVD" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="http://kacvtv.org/canyoudigit/FlashDVD.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="http://www.kacvtv.org/canyoudigit/FlashDVD.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="640" height="480" name="FlashDVD" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
Thanks. I'm new to flash so any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, I had every intention on highlighting.
Anyway, I had to take the SWV file off the problematic site and replace it with a FLV version because they wanted the video up. The SWV file lets people select chapters like a DVD. So that's why they prefer that sight. Anyway, I put up a test page with the problematic code.
Non-Working
The people link is in the first post.
Anyway, the only part I changed was the value and the src to the full url instead of just FlashDVD.src
value="http://kacvtv.org/canyoudigit/FlashDVD.swf"
embed src="http://kacvtv.org/canyoudigit/FlashDVD.swf"
Thanks again. Here's the full code again just in case it's needed:

Newb needs help opening file browser and getting full file name and path.

Ok, so I'm a TOTAL newb here, but I have managed to get it to open a file browser but all I can seem to get it to do is give me the NAME of the selected file *eg. selectedFile.name* I also need the path of the file as in C:\example\file.mp3.
The program I'm making plays an MP3 of your choice at a certain time, like an alarm clock. But I got tired of entering the file path of the MP3 EACH time so I wanted to have a browse feature.
Ideas... help... thanks...
Nicholas

you'll need to use air to get the path.
