Parsing Assets ... Forever! Help my project is buring!

OK, we're using DVDSP 3. Up till now, we've had no trouble with it. I finished a project months ago and transfered the entire project (with all it's files) to an external firewire drive for storage. Now I need to make a change. When I open the project, I get a "parsing assets" process bar than never moves. I have tried moving the project back to the original drive, deleting the PAR folder, and renaming the assets folder. No luck. Still hangs on parsing no matter what. Current projets work just fine. Only these that I "off-loaded" to the firewire drive don't work. I guess I learned this backup trick from FCP. Maybe DVDSP just can't work like this. I found a few mentions of this error on the net, but no further comments or solutions. All had be deleted (?). Is this a Bug in DVDSP or did I forget to read the small print somewhere aagain? Very frustrating. I really don't want to re-create the entire project from scratch just to fix a typo on a chapter menu. What a drag. This high tech software looks pretty silly now.

Complaining works every time! I went back to reconsider my file structure and found the cuase of the bug. And I do think this is a bug. When I originaly built my project, I did it all in a folder named EXAMPLE DVD. But when I transfered the files to the firewire drive, I named the drive EXAMPLE DVD and then placed all the contents of the folder onto thew drive. I did not plan to put anything else on the drive. This caused the parsing error on startup. To fix this, all I did was create a new folder on the firewire drive and named it EXAMPLE DVD then put all the files on the drive into that folder. It seems DVDSP sees folder and volumes much differently. FCP is so forgiving for errors like this. I sure how DVDSP continues to evolve. I's like to not have to save the file every 5 minutes as well. Oh well, at least I can fix my typo now.

BCC FlexUI fails to show all Assets involved in a Project

In the BCC for ATG 10.0.2 there are 2 different UIs with which to configure a CA Project; The Flex UI is accessed via the Merchandising Menu and the Workflow UI is accessed via "Browse Projects" and the "To Do List". I have observed that the FlexUI consistently shows less assets than the project actually has. The Workflow UI always shows all the assets. In particular, the Flex UI never seems to see any Products that have been changed or added in my Project, only Catageories, SKUs, and Catalogs. What's up with that? Is this an ATG Flex UI bug?

I dont think assignment of task through merchandising UI was available in previous versions of ATG also.
Assignments of tasks can be done only through Content Administration > Browse project or through the To Do list on home page.
In Flex UI you can only proceed till the deployment step and FlexUI will force you to go to home page when you click deploy to staging/production. This is how FlexUI works. Nothing can be done for it.
So this is how assignment will work in this case; Author will assign the Ready to Review task to a person A. Person A will go to flexUI and review the asset changes, move the project one step ahead and come back to home page and assign next task to person B. Assignment will not be possible through FlexUI
And regarding assets to be seen in FlexUI; you can see you added assets when you click on the project name on the top of the FlexUI screen. I have seen all my assets in the project and never got any issue with the asset count mismatch, though never tried with too many assets(just below 20). I dont know if it fails to show assets which are large in number.
But definitely it shows products,categories,skus etc.

Need help coping project from one computer to another.

I need help coping project from one computer to another. I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2. I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there. I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open. I dont have computer 2 available.
Please help!!!

Hi
No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
You've got several problems
• iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
• Never MOVE or alter any folder named
iMovie Projects - or -
iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
• Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
Here You can move within this "window" to another location
• Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
• iMovie'09 or 11
• an external hard disk -
MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
• Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.

FCS is only deleting my FCP project file and not linked assets. please help.

When deleting a FCP project from FCS it does not give me the option to delete all linked media. It only deletes the FCP project file leaving me to delete all related media manually. In the user guide it says it should give me the option to delete the project and all files automatically but this doesn't happen on our system. Does anyone know why? and how to turn this function on?

A bug that will never be fixed. You have to delete the associated assets manually.

Vendor details along with amount settled to an asset in an investment project.

Hi Guys,
Here we are following std process i.e. PR/PO with WBS as account assigned, then GR-GI/SES and then settle it to AUC and then in the end to FXA.
Now the requirement is to capture all the line item details (including vendor with the amount) settled to asset. I have tried a lot and get the WBS, AUC from FXA and the CO doc., FI Doc. & the settlement doc. but not able to link CO doc. of settlement to the GR-GI CO document.
Can any one help me on this or can suggest any other work around?
Thanks & regards,
Soubhagya

Hello Soubhagya,
With % settlement it looks difficult because what if you have total actual cost (6 line items) is 60K and you want to distribute it among 5 FXA on line items wise, as you will be maintaining % distribution rule (12%) but your objective to get the report is like distribute 2 line items(actual) cost to FX1, 1 line item cost to FX2 and so on..
For that,It will be more appropriate to maintain settlement by 'Amount' also.
Now,for development of this report, it is actually very difficult because we lose the track of line item details (VT 4) when we reach at settlement (WBS->AUC) ,as we have only the total cost only to be adjusted/distributed and it goes the same way till FXA.
Even if a report is to be developed then I can think of some 'Reference Fields' at GRN- > Settlement (AUC) -> Settlement (FXA). All these documents should be posted w.r.t. this reference field and ABAPer has to collect the line item details with this reference field and show in the o/p against an asset number.
(Development of these formats/screens for running actual transaction in background is a tedious job ) And obviously that would be applicable for new projects (new GRNs) only.
For existing one, it looks near to impossible to me.You can have few words with ABAPer to discuss on it.

Namespaces / apache.crimson.parser / BASDA XML / HELP!!

This is probably an easy question but I can't find anyone to help me.
I am using the apache.crimson.parser to parse and validate an Xml doc against the BASDA eBIS-XML purchase order schema but i can't get the Namespaces right.
I have this at present for the Xml doc;
<Order xmlns ="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:xsi ="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data
http://www.cs.aston.ac.uk/hillsm/project/eBIS-XML_Order_v3.01.xml">
....and this for the schema;
<Schema name="eBIS-XML_Order_v3.01.xml"
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
Does anyone have any ideas??

Steven,
let me first note that I'm not familiar with the specific Schema you mention here (apparently from M$), and it would have been helpful to see at least part of it in your posting, because it seems abnormal that Microslob uses the conventional xsd namespace for schema declarations (although it wouldn't surprise me).
Anyways, let's do a first version without the xsd name space.
The declarations in your xml file are correct.
In the schema file, the first error is, that schema is misspelled as Schema. Secondly, schema does not allow a name attribute (get rid of it). There is also no reference to the namespace "http://www.w3.org/2001/SMLSchema". So, the default namespace has to be changed to that. The targetNamespace attribute specifies that this schema applies to the specified name space. Putting it all together:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
             targetNamespace="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
             xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
       
       <element name="Order" type="string"/>
</schema>So this would validate OK with this xml file (provided that ..../eBIS-XML_Order_v3.01.xml is the above schema file):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Order xmlns ="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
          xmlns:xsi ="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data
          http://www.cs.aston.ac.uk/hillsm/project/eBIS-XML_Order_v3.01.xml">
</Order>                     So, in this example, the default namespace in the schema is set to "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" and the targetNamespace attribute points to the xml file's default name space.
However, the standard way of doing things differs. You certainly should not (mis-)set the schema's default name space to "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema".
I do not know in what way Microsoft limits you, but I strongly recommend something along these lines in order to not have regrets, headache and coffein and nicotine addiction lateron:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
            xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
            targetNamespace="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data">
   <xsd:element name="Order" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:schema>Also, in order to avoid confusion, Schema files should have the extension xsd - a minor sidepoint.
Hope that helps,
Leo.

Help! Project refuses to load

I am running Premiere Pro 4.0.1. Have been working on a project, mostly with stills, for a couple of weeks. The project crashed while trying to adjust a Video Transition setting. When it came up again, it tried to load the recovery project but it just hangs. I killed the process and tried to run the last saved project and all 5 of the auto-save projects. In all cases, I get the "Load Project..." dialog which hangs after the "progress Bar" has gotten about 95% through.
I can start a new project, so I know that PPro still works.
I have opened a new project and tried to import the original. If I import all the application hangs. If I select to import specific sequences, then I get a "An Adobe Dynamic Link Error has occurred" message.
Is there any place I can find a load log? I tried renaming the cache directories, still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

I would try moving all of the stills into another folder so that Premiere sees the media in the project as offline. Next I would open the images in PhotoShop and simplify all files by getting rid of all unnecessary layers, channels, paths etc. Often a "merge visible" save-as will do the trick. Keep the original PSD's with all of the layers etc. in a separate folder. To avoid confusion, I would keep the same file name of the "simplified" file as the original one in your project. We often bring PhotoShop images into Premiere CS4 projects at their maximum pixel dimension so we can create pans, moves, scaling etc. If you are not doing this on some of the images, scale them down in PhotoShop to the minimum pixel dimension that will work work in your project.
RAM is cheap, so if your system is running lean, you might consider buying some more RAM.
I would delete all of the preview files for this project. See if the project or any of the reasonably current Auto-Saves will open with the media offline. If so I would select "link media" in the bin for the media one at a time. saving as you go.
We have created projects that seem to take forever to open (10 minutes or more). Try giving the project more time to open. In these cases, for us, deleting preview files and eliminating unused media dramatically speeds the time it takes to open a project.
One particular project I was working on had a lot of stills that was giving Premiere a fit. I just said $crew it and opened a new project, did the scans and pans and exported the stills as AVI's. I then brought the AVI's into the project and the problem was solved.
Hope this helps.

Slideshow is sized wrong after import as asset. need help

Hi all, I have a strange thing happening with a project. I have PPO 5.0. My project settings are HDV and my computer is:
Platform: iMac 2.66 GHz intel core i5, 8gb memory. OS: 10.6.6
I have about 2 hrs of footage that's fine. I wanted to add a Quicktime slideshow (.mov) as the last chapter. I imported the slideshow as an asset, then dragged it to the timeline. in the viewer it is now letterbox size when it should be widescreen!
Previewing it with Quicktime shows it displayed as widescreen just fine.
The properties of the .mov file are:
dimensions: 720 x 486
codecs: H.264 high efficiency AAC
color profile: SD 6-1-6
duration: 11:35
audio channels: 2
total bit rate: 1,934
On my timeline, the viewer settings are "fit" normally. when it comes to the section where the .mov file is, it is still "fit" but the screen is now very small.
ON THE TIMELINE if I click on the clip, Properties are:
File Path: /Users/n.../Documents/Adobe_mywork/Disc2/myslide.mov
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 161.1 MB
Image Size: 720 x 486
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00;11;35;14
Average Data Rate: 237 KB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091
Why does it display as letterbox ?
I need this thing to be widescreen just like the other footage. please help !
thanks so much!

>have PPO 5.0
Is there any particular reason you have not updated?
I think the Mac version is now up to 5.0.4 but go check
All Adobe updates start here and select product, install in number order, updates are not cumulative http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Need help badly. project file wont open. saying damaged file or may contain outdated elements. please help

project file wont open. damaged file or contains outdated elements message. i believe its an XML error but i dont know how to fix it. please help

As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?
Have you tried clearing the Media Cache, clearing your preferences, etc. - all among the techniques used to resurrect a Premiere Pro project that has gone bad???

Ok, given that I may have not been the kindest to you on the other thread (and I'm still annoyed that you went and cross-posted this), and that you did actually use code tags, I'm going to post some code here:
Please take the following advice onboard though.
1. When you are naming your artifacts, please use the java coding standard as your guide. So if you are naming a class you use a capital letter first, and use camel case thereafter. All method names begin with a lower case letter, and all variable names begin with a lower case letter (and again camel case after that)
2. Please use self explanitory names (for everything), so no more row1, row2, or text1, text2, etc.
3. The example I am giving below makes use of a single class to handle all actions, this is not really the best way to do this, and a better way would be to have a class to handle each action (that would remove the massive if() else if() in the action handler class.
4. When you are using class variables they should be private (no exceptions, ever!), if you need to access them from other classes use accessors (eclipse and other IDE tools can generate these methods for you in seconds)
5. Notice the naming convention for my constants (final statics), they are all upper case (again from the java coding standards document, which you are going to look for with google right?)
6. I have hived some of the creation work to helper methods (the getSubjectTextField() etc), although it isn't advisable to be calling other methods from the constructor, since this is a GUI, and you want it to appear as soon as you create the class, we won't worry about this, but perhaps as an execrise you could work out a better way to do this?
7. Personally, I don't like classes that implement listeners, unless they are specifically designed to do that job. So a Frame that is set up as an action listener is fine, provided the actions it listens for are associated with the frame, not its contents. If the actions are related to its contents, then a dedicated class is better.
8. Another personal opinion, but I feel it makes code clearer, but others may disagree. If you are creating a variable solely to hold the result of a calculation, to be passed to a method in the very next line, then don't create the variable, just pass the method as the argument to the method (feel free to ignore this advice if the method call is extremely long, and a local would make it easier to read)
Anyway, here is the code. I have removed most of the menu items, and leave this as an exercise for you. Also I have only created 2 methods (new and exit), I'll again leave it as an exercise for you to complete this.

How can I make Encore assign the specified asset in a complicated project to the file VTS_01_1.VOB?

in terms of disk protection I need the VTS_01_1.VOB file to contain the unnececcary video I planned for it so that I could make this file unreadable afterwards and turn the DVD image file into a copy-proof one. The situation is problematic cause there are 9 menus linked to 1 another and to about 60 timelines. Each time I make changes to moving or reassigning them Encores burns it all differently i.e. ..1.VOB file varies every time but not the way I wished it to be. People, help! My head is no longer a place of serenity

Sorry - I should have posted a "nerdy bit" warning.
DVD Authoring is accomplished by a complex series of commands & system presets, some of which are programmable by the author (the amount of control you have over your project varies according to the design of the application) and some of which are set and unchangeable. The programmable commands are GPRM (General Parameters) and the set ones are SPRM (system parameters). Some system parameters can be varied according to various other commands and logic (if/then/else/or etc).
What you end up with in a full-spec authoring system is basically a blank title that you have to program from scratch to get a playable DVD. Sonic's Scenarist is a good example of this and to get a working disc you will need to fully understand DVD heirarchy, structure, commands & procedures (how it all hangs together).
This is very complex (and even more so wtth BluRay) and not very user friendly to put it rather mildly.
Enter the Abstraction Layer.
This is an additional interface between you, the author, and the program's command interface (the "authorcore") and does most of the coding for you. Adobe's abstraction layer gets you access to most things that most people will need (but not all of it). All the programming is done for you by the AL.
The downside is that this will inevitably cause limitations. In a full-spec system you can control exactly what goes where on the disc - but even with Scenarist & DVD-Lab Pro, you will still need to create the actual VTS (and all it's titles & menus) manually, and VTS 1 will be written to the disc (and the image) first. Your overall control is also limited to the things that have been included in the abstraction layer - the developers generally try to take a best guess at the things most people will want to do & create an interface that will allow them to get on with it and not need to know the physical layout of a DVD to make it all work.
To do this they must make compromises though, as the DVD specifications still have to be obeyed of course.
How does this matter? One of the decisions they made was to get around a whole heap of spec related problems by putting each timeline into it's own VTS. This means one clip per VTS (you can put multiple clips on a timeline, as you can put multiple clips (or "titles") in a VTS in full spec systems) and these VTS will be created in the order you create your timelines. So your first created timeline will end up as VTS 1, the next as VTS 2 and so on.
I hope this helps.

Help with project...

I have aproject to do in my cs class. I seriously do not know what to do here:
"For this project you will write a program that will aid in the cracking of a substitution cipher. Basically, it is a form of frequency analysis. Your program will read in a String as input from the user and count the number of times each letter appears in the String. It will then print out the frequency of each letter, along with a decimal frequency or percentage (your choice). You must use an array for this program - you will be severely penalized for not using an array. After running your program your output may look something like this:
Welcome to Letter Frequency Analyzer v. 1.0
Enter a String to be analyzed: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Letter Frequencies
==================
A12.86%
B12.86%
C12.86%
D12.86%
E38.57%
F12.86%
G12.86%
H25.71%
I12.86%
J12.86%
K12.86%
L12.86%
M12.86%
N12.86%
O411.43%
P12.86%
Q12.86%
R25.71%
S12.86%
T25.71%
U25.71%
V12.86%
W12.86%
X12.86%
Y12.86%
Z12.86%
How does this help crack a substitution cipher? By using the letter frequencies of letters in the English language, we can make educated guesses about which letters are substituted for the most common letters (ie. the most common would be e, the next most common would be t, etc). This, of course, would not work for some ciphertexts (like the one in the example), but it should work for most of the cryptogram puzzles that you find in the newspaper.
Hints: Your array should contain 26 elements that you will store the frequency of each letter. The main part of your program will first convert the input String to uppercase, and then use a for loop to go through each letter of the String, incrementing the appropriate index in the array. You do not need a 26 case switch statement to do this! You can cleverly use casting and the unicode values of each letter (see the appendix in your book) to index into the array. My version of this program (that produced the output above) was only 31 lines of code (including 3 blank lines, 5 lines with only brackets, the class and main method definitions, an import statement, etc - in other words, I wrote it just like I write any other program). If you can keep the number of lines in your program at or below 45 (and maintain good coding style), you will receive a 10 point bonus for this project! (the 45 lines do not include the normal 5 line header required at the top of all source code submissions)"
Wtf mate??
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Steve

One of the unwritten rules of this forum is that we don't do other people's homework. But I will give you a hint:
You can cast a character to an integer, if you do you get its unicode value as a number A is \u0041 (in hexadecimal), so the number you get is 65. B is 66, Z is 90.

Urgent - HTML help merged projects - displaying in the same window

Hi All,
Following some recent windows updates I'm experiencing all sorts of problems. My most urgent problems is as follows:
First off this is all in RH8 and yes I have upgraded to 8.0.2 and project is set to re-build cpd each time.
So I have a merges project as follows:
Parent project
child project 1
chils project 2 etc
when I compile an html help project with TOC, and single source window settings on default if I click on a child project it is diaplyued in a separate window. If I then select a different project in the parent project TOC this is also displayed in a different window but the window still has the caption of the previously opened file.
What I need as the end result is for my HTML help project output to al display in the same window whether I click on a parent project item, or a child project item.
Please can somebody advise mne how to do this as I am VERY close to a deadline and as usual it seems RH8 has let me down again.....
Thanks

Hi there
Methinks Colum needs more coffee, because the options he cited have nothing to do with other windows. They have to do with whether the displayed topic synchronizes with the TOC and whether the TOC entry is highlighted.
I'm thinking it has to do with creating a "Global" window. You change the names of the windows so they include Global.

Help with project: trying to create variables from decimals

topic may be a bit unclear, but I have a project from a java course. I need to create a simple program, but hit a bit of a bump.
I have made a formula to find that the total hours equals 2.7350 which is equal to 2hours, 44minutes, 6seconds.
so to sum what I just said up, I have the number 2.7350, but need to display 2hours, 44minutes, 6seconds
now I need help of how I can accomplish this with basic java (this is my first java class).
If there is a way to leave 2 and take .7350 in separate variables, I can make some more formulas to convert that to the answer I need displayed, but I don't know how.
Please help if you have ideas
Thank You

ahh, that just gave me an idea, I can't believe subtraction didn't come into my mind.
I also should have mentioned that the numbers are generated via formula and user input, so it is not pre set.
I will try something out with the subtraction idea. however, if you have a solution please post it in case my idea doesn't work.
thanks again ^^
