Premiere Pro CS4 Win7 output to iTouch 3G???

Hello,
I have created several videos and exported them as MP4 files (via H.264, iPod small/large).  They play fine on my computer, but only the audio will play on our iTouch.  The screen remains blank, no video.
Any suggestions to correct this would be awesome!!!
Thanks,
JD

This page has some interesting details about supported bitrate and resolution... might be worth a look??

  • Premiere Pro CS4 install failure on Windows 7

    I've been trying to install this for several days now.  I uninstalled all Adobe software from my computer and ran the WinCS5CleanupScript and I still get the same error that the installation failed "One or more required components of Adobe Premere Pro CS4 failed to install correctly."  Under more information it says the following:

    I read on the Internet that switching to "English (International)" might fix, but the choice is greyed out and preset to "English (US)". I don't know what else to try.  I'd use my copy of CS5, but that requries 64 bit processor, and I only have 32 bit.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 won't render my sequences

    Everytime I send a sequence to Media Encoder, it just sits there. And sits and sits, etc. At the bottom it just says "Loading "Gleaner_Shoot.prproj".
    I'm using a 2008 Mac with 8 cores with 16 gigs of ram.
    My footage came from the Canon HV20. I have clips at both 24p and 1080i.
    I'm setting up my sequences to match the clips I'm placing in them.
    One thing of note is I'm really only using 3 looong clips. Since CS4 doesn't do scene detection well. I opted to instead make subclips from the long clips and use those. 2 of them are about 30 minutes long and one is nearly an hour. Could this be the problem?
    Thing is, this happens even when I do a 1-minute sequence test.
    It even happens when I try to use a test sequence which contains only audio.
    I've tried outputting to quicktime and MPEG 2. I was careful to set the export settings to match the sources.
    After a long wait, Media Encoder gives up and I get a warning icon in the status column.  It says this:

    I usually use After Effects so I'm not really up on Premiere that much, but I've used it a good bit in the past and never came across this problem.
    Any ideas?

  • Vob Import Question in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1

    Hello,
      Prior to posting, I read numerous posts related to importing vob files in Premiere.  None of them seemed to address the particular problem I am experiencing, and I was hoping to find an answer here in the forums.  Here's what I am attempting to accomplish:
    1)  Export the vob files (there are 4 of them) from a commercial movie DVD to hard disk
    2)  Import the vob files into a Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 project
    3)  Build a sequence out of the 4 vob files
    4)  Replace the sound in two very short segments to eliminate profane language so that my children may watch the movie
    5)  Import the sequence into Encore CS4 and burn a standard DVD
    I was successful in all of the above steps 1-5.  So what's the problem?  I noticed, when viewing the output DVD, that at a certain point (only a single point) in the movie, the sound was garbled and the frames got 'wonky' (a technical term I picked up from Deke McClelland).  My first assumption, was that I had messed something up somewhere in my editing process.  When I navigated to the problematic time in my Premiere project, I saw that there was a problem in that at a certain point, the video would flicker, after which the audio would be out of sync with the video and would remain so until the end of the sequence.  If instead, I simply navigated within the sequence to a few seconds past where the problematic frames seemed to be, all would be well (audio and video in sync).  So, this means to me, that at the point where the problematic frames seem to be, Premiere has trouble interpreting them, and from that point on, the sequence is affected.  If the seemingly problematic frames are skipped, then Premiere does not enter its bad state.
    The next troubleshooting step was to start afresh, and see if the problem existed prior to making any edits to the sequence (i.e. steps 1-3 above).  The problem still existed.
    The next troubleshooting step was to see if a media player exhibited the same behavior as Premiere.  So I took the same vobs and viewed them with Windows Media Player 11.  There was no problem viewing the exact same vob in Media Player 11 that essentially is not viewable in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1.  Hmm.
    The next troubleshooting step was to see if an encoding program would exhibit the same behavior as Premiere.  I imported the same vobs into TmpEnc, and when viewing them, no problems were exhibited.
    Although not conclusive, it appears that there is a bug in Premiere Pro CS4 4.1.
    Another problem that I noticed with vobs, is that sometimes, Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 does not recognize the proper frame rate of a standard DVD vob file, e.g. given 5 vobs that comprise a single movie, the first vob is shown as simply a video file (i.e. no audio at all) @ 29.97 fps in the Project panel, but the subsequent 4 vobs are recognized correctly as having both audio and video @ 23.976 fps.  As before, I validated that the apparently problematic vob (from the Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 point of view) renders/plays perfectly fine in other applications (i.e. no audio or video problems).  I attempted to use 'Interpret Footage' to rectify the problem with the vob, and when I type in 23.976 fps, it takes it, but then displays in the Project panel as 23.98 fps.  It didn't fix the problem, but I was wondering if diplaying 23.976 as 23.98 (as opposed to 23.976 which is shown for the non-problematic vobs) is another problem.
    Thanks much for any and all help,
    Matt

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, you have several problems, but most are with your choice of equipment and your workflow, not your choice of an NLE.
    I took a wedding video from 1990 on a VCR tape and turned it to digital via a Dazzle hardware unit that plugs into the computer. It gives me vob files with no menus or anything like that
    Few people have ever been able to get a Dazzle to work. This is true, even with the Pinnacle software, that often comes with it. It is an AVID product now, as they bought Pinnacle, and if you can get it to work at all, you are ahead of 99% of all owners. Stop by the Pinnacle fora and type in Dazzle. You will get the idea quickly.
    A far better workflow would be to use a VHS player, hooked to an A-D device, like the Canopus/Grass Valley 110, or their 300. Use the Edius software that comes with it, to Capture DV-AVI Type II files w/ 48KHz 16-bit Audio. There will be zero OOS issues.
    Most other equipment and workflows are kludges and seldom work at any level.
    A good workman does not blame his tools. He might blame his choice of tools, but not the tools. Unfortunately, you chose a piece of hardware that doesn't usually work with the included software, and are blaming a great NLE program, because you are trying to work with horribly bad footage.
    Please do yourself a favor. Donate the Dazzle to Goodwill, and look at the Canopus/Grass Valley 110. The price differential is not that great, and you will keep all of your hair.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS just did 34 VHS tapes via the above suggestions (some LP and some EP), and got many hours of usable footage. Not one glitch. No OOS. Every file edited perfectly in PrPro and I delivered 15 DVD-5's, that the client loved. I paid for a Canopus 300 with just my time on one project.
    PPS, please see my post #5 for a link to an article on VOB files.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 Halts rendering whatever I ask!

    Hi there.
    Finally I decided to post this.
    I have been tracking in internet this situation for months... since PPro CS4 got out, I have been testing and working with it. However, I cannot say I prefer CS4 to other opponents (even one  or two Linux apps oddly).  The thing is when an app makes us spectate, we should have results! I cannot go back to previous releases of PPro because I need that queue in AME. So, let me beggin to explain the error:
    The application (Premiere Pro CS4 or Adobe Media Encoder [AME]) halts forever when rendering video (a code loop? while "something"="some thing" then do "render frame again"?). So, happening the error in two aplications that use a bunch of files, I must say it is something used by booth like, my guess, PProHeadless. Moreover, the video it might have a filter or not, an opacity key, might be in a diferent format and created within adobe realm, or even outside like Fusion or Combustion, it can stop. And I say can because I am making tests these holy days to reach a conclusion: it's random. It might ocour in frame 150, or in 20 000, with some kind of format video or a filter or everything "as nature as" a PPro captured avi.
    Graphics? Updated as today means. Windows? Up to date also! Adobe Premiere Pro? same thing as you already noticed.
    This halt is documented by a png file atached to this post. With taskmanager also. That halt is typical. I am in windows 7 64bits, but also have winxp 64bits that produces the same error. The program can only be terminated by process kill and that sort of things.
    As I have searched thoughout the internet, I have only seen a post in creative cows that appears similar to this. No luke for a solution yet. When update 4.2.0 came and I had an enormouse reliefe, thiinking it would "heal" the program... no good. I have not been able to respect some deadlines with clients. I will shift if necessary! At least the minimum would be an error ex spit by the program... nothing never came out. I'm blind and adobe might be also. All programs I've try to develop had error mannagement. CS4 release was something apparatuouse but could had wait for a 4.1.0 update in Premiere for instance...  I am really tempted for a mac! At least I know what should I buy to make a program run in there... just a mac!
    As I see, no software seems to be the problem. It's a fresh install of windows 7 and PPro CS4. Nothing else installed in the system but flash, vlc, acrobat reader MSN live, calim av, proDVD mercalli
    Hardware bug or incopatability?
    So... my specs if this helps:
    Processor:     AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ 2.21 GHz
    Ram:             5,00 GB 667Mhz
    OS:               Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Operating System
    Graphic board: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE
    MB:               Asus M2N-E with Serial 3Gb/s RAID
    Disks:            1 SATA for OS.     SATA Disks for footage and project storage 7000 rotations all I think
    I believe everything is Adobe PPro supported... so... where the hell is the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    OK
    I have been these days arround this issue. Done many troubleshooting... trying to understand problems. Here is what I got:
    Getting the hauppauge board off the PC seems to have stopped the "halt" of the encoders and renderings in Premiere and AME. Hope it won't happen again, but, It's kind an exclusion game... What was diferent from the setups I have seen in many forums and posts was this ancient board. Adobe shoulde analyse this one against Premiere CS4 and AME: Hauppauge WinTV-Go bt848 conexant board (or it's a lost of time... as it's not supported anymore in Windows, but is in Linux :] ).
    As for the playback... a fine tune for performance options of my graphic board was able to reduce the jerkiness of video... so I had the idea to also overclock both processor and graphics. The result is this:
    Before: Processing of video with the timeline in view (default workspace) was allways 100%, skipping so many frames that even entire clips coundln't send a sigle frame. Where only the output frame (ç shortcut) playback was almost aceptable, with processing at 100% and some times going leaving a tiny space for other things to process.... The fine tune of graphics board, was able to get in default workspace the insertion of may more frames in there, and with ç shortcut - output full mode, it was 95-100 spiking frequently between them.
    Now: Default workspace: 80% processing... Output frame: 60-70% My pc is now in test to seach for the optimal (aceptable) overclock parameters. And it seems I can overclock even more (not in graphics but the processor).
    This is good and aceptable for the computer setup...
    However, to everyone reading this, please be very carfull at how you overclock. Be shure you read everything you can find (from reliable sources - your hardware suppliers, as for the processor, the mother board, the graphic board... etc..). If you mess something, better you have the money to replace :].
    Thanks for everyting

    my encoder for PP stopped working, so I uninstalled everything today, and I re-downloaded the Premiere Pro trial version - but when I install it , after about 3 min it says that it couldnt install Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 & Encore.
    Did you have the full-paid version originally, or the "trial?"
    If you had the full-paid version, why did you download the trial?
    If you had the trial, it does stop working after a period of time - it is limited that way. If you had the trial, you can never install another trial on that machine. It's a one-time deal.
    If you did have the trial, you will want to not only uninstall it, but also run the Adobe CS4 CleanScript a few times, before you attempt to install the full-paid version, or you WILL have problems.
    Let us know exactly what you had, and what you wish to do now, and someone can help you.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere pro CS4+media encoder CS4 problem encoding to WMV and MOV

    Hello,
    I am new to CS4. I lurked around the meanders of CS4 help and FAQ. In spite of the large help database I could not find a solution to my issue.
    I edited a little movie from shots I took during holidays. I edited in premiere pro cs4 and it is a bit faster than CS3 <yoohoo>
    However I want to export the movie as NTSC source to high quality download. In the Expot settings,  I wrote a file output of course so it can encode and compile the movie somewhere on my HDD and I did not touch anything in standad NTSC source to high quality download values and tabs. In the end the movie should be around 848 mega.
    I press OK, then Media Encoder pops up on screen. my project comes automatically in Media Encoder which is neat so I just had to click on start Queue but here is my problem...
    I can wait for 4 hours or more, Media Encoder status states Encoding but nothing moves forward. Elapsed time remains at 00:00:00, Estimated Remaining remains blank.
    Although something triggered my attention when I widen Media Encoder Source Name tab. It sounds like my project from Premiere Pro is placed in a temporary folder instead of using the regular save project file folder in ...>adobe>premiere pro>4>sebsofie2010b which strange.
    I try to place a picture of my issue and perhaps it will help everyone.
    This picture was taken about 1 hour and half after I tried to encode the movie for the fifth time.
    The status quotes "Encoding"...
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello,
    This is Song to an Illiad. I had to change Email address and password as I am switching provider soon.
    So Ok to bypass the issue at that time, I simply transfered all files to a jumpdrive and re-did the composition at a friend house. Although my problem persist and Thank you for the Wiki link it was helpful. Sherlock free ware discovered several erronous Codec. Do not ask me why, how, when please. I do not toy around with codecs and all I do is update software but I have several software going from Adobe to Autodesk series as well as Nero Light version that came with my Dvd burner.  Should I also mention I play video games when down time permits, as such I updated several time the DirectX software. Beside this, what is it called... Dvix or Xvid, well something like that... prompted me about 2 months ago to update to a newer version which I did. Finally I installed a freeware to export an avi type to another found on Cnet.com a few months ago as the file could be seen in Premiere pro but there were no Audio track seen in premiere while the client gave me his camcorder and I knew there should be an audio track, it was a sort of camcorder that records on a memory sticks which is why the camera was small. It was a canon but nothing more detailed than that. Anyway, I had the camera with no drivers whatsoever and I had a hard time to find the driver for free online which is why I found a freeware or perhaps was it a shareware or a trial (I am not sure), anyway it decoded and re-encoded the movie which it did successfully with lots of image loss quality but it was succesful. I know I deliberatly threw the shareware or trial straight in the garbage once I was done because I do not want this kind of junk on my PC. Perhaps could it be the issue with Media Encoder not able to start?!?!
    Here comes a couple of texts Copy/Past & image to describe what Sherlock found

    What should I do? Can I just reinstall the codec from my Adobe CS4 Production Suite (Without) creating more issues and problems? It seemed the Wiki hints were helpful to pin point a problem but not always at giving solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Seb
    P.S: Could Adobe throw a little software to download to ensure all codecs are what they should be like and prompt user to reinstall straight from our Dvds? It would be soo much easier that way.

  • What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

    I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
    I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project.  The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video.  I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
    What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program?  Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
    I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail.  I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
    -MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
    -Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output?  It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
    -Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI.  This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
    http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
    Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there!  Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
    So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro.  Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two.  I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
    I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
    ?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
    Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
    Aaron.

  • Kodak videos lag in Premiere Pro CS4 timeline

    Hey all,
    Apperently there's a bug in Adobe Premiere Pro which makes it difficult to edit videos that were captured in a Kodak camera.
    This issue was discussed here before, but even after reading all threads in the subject I could not solve the problem.
    I've been trying to convert these files (.mov) to many other formats and codecs with no success.
    After a while I got to find this crappy software that claims to specialize in converting Kodak's video files (iOrgSoft Video Converter).  Between many tries of various softwares that was the only one that did  it right. But the software isn't free. The trail version leaves a  watermark on the each video.

    I'm looking for another way to convert this file correctly so it will work well in Premiere.
    Does anyone have any idea about this?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Moshe.

    Hi,
    If CS5 handles this right than I  guess that's about it.
    Thanks again for both of you.
    This is CS3...with the mainconcept plug in trial ....as mentioned earlier...your original source loaded GREAT into the project...and plays great...etc....
    The plug in trial gives that logo thing and has a limit of 5min video I think....although I've exported stuff with this and the logo was NOT on the final export...or was much smaller .....dont know if that would influence you on trying the plug in...
    But what I mean to say is with cs3 it works great with the original file you supplied as a sample...
    ( I used this in another thread here where someone was trying to get timecode to run backwards...which is why you see that timecode thing...)
    good luck with everything !  

  • How do I export a Premiere Pro CS4 file as a *.mov file?

    Hi,
    I got Premiere Pro CS4 some time back and never got round to properly learning to use it.  I've picked it up again and have put together a small video sequence to ensure I can create something simple for a start and that it publishes fine but I've encountered a problem at the publishing stage (and I want to use it in After Effects so this is irritating me):
    * I've finished the sequence and it's on my timeline in unexported form
    * I then click File-Export-Media to go to the export settings
    * In the settings I export as a Quicktime *.mov file and both the video and audio check boxes are checked and ready to go
    * The quality is 100% and the output name has a legitimate path on my computer
    * I click 'OK' and the save window closes and a smaller window says 'Exporting data/file/whatever it should say'
    * I then search for the saved file on my PC,  first in the path the save screen said,  then using the search box in the windows button and I find it hasn't saved anything and told me it has done
    Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to properly save my video on my PC as a *.mov file?  I looked on Youtube and a tutorial suggested I was doing everything right but I just can't see why this isn't saving properly.
    Advance thanks.

    What version of Apple's QT Player do you have installed?
    What CODEC did you choose with your MOV Export?
    Good luck,

  • Exporting Settings (Premiere Pro CS4 with Matrox)

    Premiere Pro CS4
    Canon XHG1 camera (HDV/Mini DV/NTSC)
    Matrox RT.X2
    HP Z800 with 2.4GHz Intel Xeon processor, 12GB RAM, and running Windows 7
    I have experience with digital video editing in Premiere, exporting up to 40-minute videos (that took maybe 2 hours to export), but the last version I used was maybe Premiere 7 and I didn’t have the Matrox card (and was using a computer much less capable than this one). I was also just using a consumer-level camera, not the big Canon. Now I’m trying to export video and there are way more choices than I had before, and it seems like the estimated time to export is quite high, despite having a good machine and the Matrox card.
    So my question is, is there a chart anywhere that says what settings to use for the particular output you are looking for? For instance, what should I pick for the web that is good enough quality but not a giant file? What should I pick if I want to make a DVD? Is there a way to directly export to a DVD if you aren’t manipulating the video at all? I’ve been told I should be able to utilize the Matrox card to reduce the export time, but it seems like it takes at least 5 times the length of the video to export no matter what.
    I guess an important question here is, what is the normal amount of time I should expect something to take to export? I have a 2-hour video that just needs to be transferred from the mini DV tapes and burned to a DVD – no effects necessary. The lowest export time estimate I can get is around 10 hours, and I have no idea what that will look like in terms of quality when done.
    In the future I will be doing mostly short (2 minutes or less) videos for web, so export time should be short, but I’d still like to know what the best settings are and how long it should take.
    I hope this makes sense – thanks for your help!
    Genevieve

    Thanks for your help. I have copied and pasted my results below. It seemed to get through that queue very quickly, so perhaps the slowness is do to something more specific in the project I am working on. Perhaps a large mismatch in what I am capturing vs. what I am exporting? The camera is recording in HD.... I don't know much about hardware at all, and only know very basic stuff about exporting, so I know it is probably difficult to understand what I'm looking for. The last version of Premiere I had basically allowed you to choose format, size, quality, and codec whereas this version has so many different export settings I can pick from, it is hard to just guess and check which ones work best.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 on Mac: Can't play media anymore

    Hi experts,
    I'm in huge trouble with my Premiere Pro CS4 (latest version, all updates installed) on the Mac platform:
    Until I tried to record an audio track with the built-in microphone, everything worked fine. But since then, Premiere Pro is unsuable . It won't play  any media file (video or audio) anymore: whenever I try to start the playback (no matter what media and no matter in which monitor) Premiere just does nothing at all.
    The problem exists since Premiere Pro crashed when I tried to record audio with the built in mic. I can reproduce the crash when ever I try to capture audio again: the error message points to line 2329 in the module "CoreAudioHost.cpp" (to be precise: /Ironside/4.0/MediaCore/MediaLayer/AudioSupport/Macke/Mac/../../Src/Mac/CoreAudioHost.cpp -2329)
    I reinstalled the application but the problem still exists. And I checked all the settings in the preferences panel -- but they seem to be alright.
    I really have no idea what to do. Hopefully, anybody of you has?
    Any help would be gladly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Bob,
    no, it's not a Beta, it's the full version of PPro as it comes bundled within my Master's Collection of CS4. And I'm not using any 3rd party plugins either.
    I don't think that the file is present on our machines, Bob. The file extension ".cpp" seems to me like a reference to the source code file (written in the programming language C++, since this is what "cpp" stands for). I have a programming background, and therefore I think, the error message isn't meant to be useful for the end user (like us) but for the engineers while they're developing.
    But today, I could narrow down my problem a bit. The playback is working again: the problems were caused by some messed up audio *output* settings. I think, PPro messed them up when it crashed several times. I reset them all and now the playback works fine again.
    However, I still can't record: neither with Soundbooth CS4 nor with PPro. The software won't recognize my *input* settings. The error message I gave in my previous post still occurs as soon as I press the little microphone button in PPro's Audio Mixer. And Soundbooth just does *nothing* at all when I try to record. But every other tool (iMovie, Audacity) works fine with my Mac.
    As a workaround, I record my audio with Audacity, import the file to PPro and be up and running. But if somebody of you has faced similar problems, I would appreciate your solutions.
    Regards and Thank you

  • Render quality drops when importing sequences from Premiere Pro CS4

    Hello,
    I have both AE and Premiere Pro CS4, and, because my Media Encoder doesn't work (a common problem, apparently), I import my sequences into AE to render. However, I've noticed a marked drop in quality in the sequence when imported into AE as opposed to when it's in Premiere Pro. It's comparable to a "Full" dropping to a "Half" when changing preview render quality in AE. What am I doing wrong? Is there some simple way to match the quality of the AE Comp (that has the PP sequence in it) to what the original Premiere Pro project has? Should I not be putting the PP project into a new comp in AE before I render it out? Is there another way that can retain the quality of the original Premiere Pro project?
    This is urgent, as I need this rendered by Monday. Any help would be appreciated! Obviously, this is the first major project I've done this "workaround" with. I wish AME worked, but it doesn't for me.
    Thanks!

    By default, the Ram preiew resolution is adaptative and not full quality, as it's just to "preview". You can switch this behavior to full quality, and by default, when you render, it will always be "Full quality" before being compressed by your output module.
    You can check the Ram preview doc and the rendering doc from the AE help.
    Hope that helps,
    Seb
