PLEASE help me with Batch Output Filenames

Hi All,
I batch output hundreds of clips every day. And I'm stuck having to rename all of my files because Compressor appends the destination folder's name to the filename after Batch output. Can someone help me figure out how to retain the ability to output to my destination, but not have the destination folder name added to the file name. I spend more time renaming files than working!!!
Please help!
Thanks.

Prior to loading the batch, create a Custom Destination. In the process of creating your Custom Destination, you'll be given the option (in the Inspector) of what Compressor will call the output files, so make sure to use something like Source Media and nuke any appendages.
When you know choose the Destination for your Encodes, so long as you set a pre-defined destination - that is, something that is set prior to the import of your files - you won't have all that junk added to your file name.
Another handy thing that I do when I do mass encodes to to use Compressor's Default Setting and Default Destination settings - available under Preferences - to speed things up. With a default setting and destination set, I simply import my files (Compressor automatically adds the setting and destination for each file), save my batch, if necessary, then submit. I then adjust the Preferences settings for the next batch, then import those files. And so on...
Basically, as much as possible, the idea is to setup your targets (Destinations and Settings) ahead of time.
But be mindful: All this won't work without pre-set (usually Custom) Destinations and Settings. Thinking you can do this after you've imported your files is not the way to go...

    Hi
    Batch Input Session:
    BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table
    and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session
    ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program
    name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    Three processing modes of executing Batch Input Session :-
    Run Visibly : You can correct faulty transactions online & work step-by-step through  the transactions not yet executed.
    Display Errors only : You can correct faulty transactions online.   Transactions not yet executed, but without error, run in the background.
    Run in Background .
    2) What is the alternative to batch input session?
    Call transaction.
    3) An ABAP program creates a batch input session. We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
    go to SM36 and create background job by giving
         job name,job class and job steps (JOB SCHEDULING)

    I have a trigger on A, which inserts the DML records into B. (Table A and B structure is the almost the same,
                                       where table B will have one extra column exp_dt)
    NOw Table B can have records with same P_S_C and A_C columns and exp_dt will capture the history.
    for example: from the above sample data, let us take first two records..
    P_S_C     A_C     P     EXP_DT
    21698     13921     1     5/29/2009 3:15:41 PM     --- Record 1
    21698     13921     1     5/29/2009 3:54:57 PM     --- Record 2
    from this..
    Note: 1. Table A and Table C can be joined using A.P_S_C and C.R_C to get the start_date.
    2. PN# comes from table D. It contains numbers for the resp. weeks.
    3. PN#_EFF_DATE is the previous immediate previous date for that record in history table (Table B).
    I wanted the data like..
    ---- this is for the second record in the above..
    PN#_EXP_DATE PN# PN#_EFF_DATE PN#
    5/29/2009 3:54:57 PM     214 5/29/2009 3:15:41 PM     214
    ---- this is for the first record in the above..
    PN#_EXP_DATE PN# PN#_EFF_DATE PN#
    5/29/2009 3:54:41 PM     214 ( for this we should query the table C to get the
                        start_date, for this combinatation of P_S_C and A_C in table B
                             where B.P_S_C = C.A_C
                             and that value should be the EFF_DT for this record)
    Please help me with this....

    Hi All,
    select d.P# as "PN#_EXP_DATE", exp_date

    where to_char(d.day_date,'MM/DD/YYYY') = to_char(b.exp_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')
    and d.period_type = 'TIMEREPORT';
    This above query gives the output as follows:
    pn#_exp_date exp_date

    21698          60559          2     5/29/2009 3:54:57 PM     
    I got the pn#_exp_date from the Table 'D', for the given exp_date from Table B.
    My question is again....
    CASE - 1
    from the given records above, I need to look for exp_date for the given same P_S_C and A_C.
    in this case we can take the example...
    P_S_C     A_C PLACE EXP_DATE
    21698          3217          3     5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM
    21698          3217          3     5/29/2009 3:54:57 PM
    In this case, the
    pn#_exp_date exp_date     pn#_eff_date eff_date
    214     5/29/2009 3:15:57 PM     < PN# corresponding to the     5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM
                        eff_date .>
                        <Basically the eff_date is
                        nothing but the exp_date only.
                        we should take the immediate before one.
    In this case, our eff_date is '5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM'.
    but how to get this.
    CASE - 2
    from the above sample data, consider this
    P_S_C     A_C PLACE EXP_DATE
    21698     1716656     4     5/29/2009 3:15:41 PM
    In this case, there is only one record for the P_S_C and A_C combination.
    The expected result :
    pn#_exp_date exp_date               pn#_eff_date eff_date
    214     5/29/2009 3:15:41 PM     < PN# corresponding to the     5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM
                        eff_date .>
                   <Basically the eff_date is
                   nothing but the exp_date only.
                        we should take the immediate before one.
    In this case to get the eff_date, we should query the Table 'C', to get the eff_date, which is START_DT column in this table.
    for this join B.P_S_C and C.R_C.
    Hope I am clear now..
    Thanks in advance.....

    Smartform
    you can check this link here you can see the steps and you can do it the same by looking at it..
    http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html
    SMARTFORMS STEPS.
    1. In Tcode se11 Create a structure(struct) same like the Internal table that you are going to use in your report.
    2. Create Table type(t_struct) of stracture in se11.
    3. In your program declare Internal table(Itab) type table of structure(struct).
    4. Define work area(wa) like line of internal table.
    5. Open Tcode Smartforms
    6. In form Global setting , forminterface Import parameter define Internal table(Itab) like table type of stracture(t_struct).
    7. In form Global setting , Global definitions , in Global data define Work area(wa) like type stracture(struct).
    8. In form pages and window, create Page node by default Page1 is available.
    9. In page node you can create numbers of secondary window. But in form there is only one Main window.
    10. By right click on page you can create windows or Go to Edit, Node, Create.
    11. After creating the window right click on window create table for displaying the data that you are passing through internal table.
    12. In the table Data parameter, loop internal internal table (Itab) into work area(wa).
    13. In table there are three areas Header, Main Area, Footer.
    14. Right click on the Main area create table line by default line type1 is there select it.
    15. Divide line into cells according to your need then for each cell create Text node.
    16. In text node general attribute. Write down fields of your work area(wa) or write any thing you want to display.
    17. Save form and activate it.
    18. Then go to Environment, function module name, there you get the name of function module copy it.
    19. In your program call the function module that you have copied from your form.
    20. In your program in exporting parameter of function pass the internal table(itab).
    SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
    SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can
    configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
    To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
    You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
    You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
    SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
    SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
    Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
    What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
    Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
    Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
    SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time.
    You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
    To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes.
    These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
    Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one.
    For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form.
    Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
    SmartForms System Fields
    Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
    System fields of Smart Forms
    &SFSY-DATE&
    Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
    &SFSY-TIME&
    Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
    &SFSY-PAGE&
    Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
    &SFSY-FORMPAGES&
    Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
    &SFSY-JOBPAGES&
    Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
    &SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
    Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
    &SFSY-PAGENAME&
    Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
    &SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
    Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
    &SFSY-MAINEND&
    Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
    &SFSY-EXCEPTION&
    Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
    Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
    SF_EXAMPLE_01
    Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
    SF_EXAMPLE_02
    Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
    SF_EXAMPLE_03
    Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request
    Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
    SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
    1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
    2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
    3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
    4. Colored output of texts
    5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
    6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
    7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
    8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
    9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
    10. Flexible reuse of text modules
    11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
    12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)

  • Please help me with the proper query for the below problem

    Hi,
    I have a table RATE which have two columns RT_DATE (date) and RATES(number).
    This table have following data.
    RT_DATE
    RATES
    1-JAN-2007
    7
    2-MAR-2008
    7.25
    5-JAN-2009
    8
    8-NOV-2009
    8.5
    9-JUN-2010
    9
    I wanted to get the rate of interest on 8-DEC-2009.
    Output will be 8.5 as this given date is in between 8-NOV-2009 and 9-JUN-2010. Could you please help me with proper query?
    Regards,
    Aparna S

    Hi,
    That sounds like a job for the LAST function:
    SELECT  MIN (rates) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY rt_date) AS eff_rate
    FROM    rate
    WHERE   rt_date < 1 + DATE '2009-12-08'
    MIN above means that, in case of a tie (that is, 2 or more rows with the exact same latest rt_date) the lowest rates from that latest rt_date will be returned.  In rt_date is unique, then it doesn't matter if you use MIN or MAX, but syntax demands that you use some aggregate function there.
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for your sample data, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Point out where the statement above is getting the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get the right results from the given data in those places.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Please help me with this SQL query

    I am practicing SQL queries and have come across one involving fetching data from 3 different tables.
    The three tables are as below
    <pre>
    Country
    location_id          country
    loc1          Spain
    loc2          England
    loc3          Spain
    loc4          USA
    loc5          Italy
    loc6          USA
    loc7          USA

    u1 loc1
    u2 loc1
    u3 loc2
    u4 loc2
    u5 loc1
    u6 loc3
    </pre>
    <pre>
    Post
    post_id user_id
    p1 u1
    p2 u1
    p3 u2
    p4 u3
    p5 u1
    p6 u2
    </pre>
    I am trying to write an SQL query - for each country of users, display the average number of posts
    I understand the logic behind this that we first need to group together all the locations and then the users belonging to one country and then find the average of their posts.
    But, i'm having a difficulty in putting this in SQL form. Could someone please help me with this query.
    Thanks.

    select
    country.country,
    count(*) Totalpostspercountry,
    count(distinct post.user_id) Totaldistincuserspercountry,
    count(*)/count(distinct post.user_id) Avgpostsperuserbycountry
    from
    country, muser, post
    where country.location_id = muser.location_id
    and muser.user_id = post.user_id
    group by country.country
    The output is like this for your sample data - hope this is what you were looking for :)
    COUNTRY,TOTALPOSTSPERCOUNTRY,TOTALDISTINCUSERSPERCOUNTRY,AVGPOSTSPERUSERBYCOUNTRY
    England,1,1,1,
    Spain,5,2,2.5,

  • My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV.  Can someone please help me with a solution?  Thanks.

      First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes.  I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook. 
      Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from.  But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
      Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad).  It does not show up on my Apple TV as well.  If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
      I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me.  I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad.  I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this?  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.
