Problem with compressing 16:9 sequence into mpeg-1

Hello,
I am having a problem compressing from Final Cut via Compressor into an Mpeg-1 file. I shot (and edited) in 16:9 but the Mpeg-1 files keep turning out squeezed up in 4:3. I can't find any settings in Compressor to change, and I've looked in the Compressor manual but can't find any help there either. The dimensions are greyed out in the Inspector.
I have only a limited grasp of Compressor so if anyone has the patience to explain how to fix this in words of one syllable I would be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Hello again,
Sorry for the long pause.
I found a way round this problem initially by copying my sequences into a new FCP 4:3 project and they automatically became letterboxed, however there was a loss of quality so I would like to try this again. Where I got up to was, when I went into the Inspector window and clicked on the Filters tab, there's nothing in there to select. There's a video tab saying 'check the box to add a Filter', but then nothing there to check - just an empty table headed 'Name'.
Any advice on getting the filters to show up?
Many thanks for all your help.
Sasha

    Problems with compressing files with right hand click.
    I am using the compress function in the Mac OS (File > Compress XX) from time to time. Today it does not work anymore. OS 10.5.6
    I get a message: The content list cannot be created for compressing.
    I tried it with files and folders and keep getting this message. Anybody any idea as to how to fix this

    Thanks I love my macbook!!!!
    I also got further problems such as copy-paste not working etc.
    so I fixed it just this morning by running Applejack 1.5 and am back up running noticing your post.
    thanks for helping though!

  • Mapping problem with compressed key update record

    Hi, could you please advise?
    I'm getting the following problem:
    About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
    filed1 = NULL
    field2 =
    field3 =
    field4 =
    field5 =
    datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
    field6 =
    field8 =
    field9 = NULL
    field10 =
    Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
    So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
    I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files. To increase the number of retries, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryCount = n) in Extract parameter file. To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
    I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
    Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
    If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
    But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
    I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
    I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
    CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
    Could you please advise why does it happen?

    Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

    Regards,

    The SCRP_CODE column has a NOT NULL constraint. The ORA-01407 error is telling you that you cannot update or set a value for this column to null because of the constraint. This has absolutely nothing to do with an index. You can use a marker/sentinel value in lieu of using NULL. For a numeric field, where everything is positive, a negative value (-1) can be decoded as meaning null. For a character field, a code such as NA can represent NULL.
    This also has nothing to do (directly) with GoldenGate failing because of this error. The underlying SQL statement will fail everywhere, regardless of the tool or application. It is not a case of failing only in GoldenGate.

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

  • I'm having some problem with Text imported from Motion into FCPro

    Hey Everyone.
    I've got an animation that I created in Motion.
    The format for the timeline in Motion is NTSC DV 4:3
    Final Cut has the same attributes to the sequence.
    I have text on my graphic.... Some of it looks great. Some of it does not.
    You can see it here.
    http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/McClure/Graphic.html
    The word "Show" looks terrible, where as the other text looks great.
    I do have a filter on the word show... actually it's not even a filter it's just one of the style parameters which is Outline and Face. The outline attribute has a bit of a blur on it.
    Still i would think this would copy over into final cut without and issue but for some reason it looks really bad.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks.
    -Fraky

    Your problem stems from the bright red on a dark background. It is particularly noticable on text because it is a uniform color.
    You might have other elements in your movies that use this exact shade and it wiil happen there, but it is less noticable because that element consists of multiple tones and is probably moving.
    Very saturated, bright reds always cause problems in video. It is a limitation of the medium.
    If you want to learn more about this facinating subject, the keywords are *Chroma Rise Time*.
    The solution: desaturate and/or lighten the red, change the color completely or live with it.
    Once I render. I get the pixelation.
    Your Motion clip is being rendered to your NTSC DV Sequence setting which is 1:5 compression.
    The problem with the red is only made worse due to this.

  • Problem with Compression (Deflater & GZip)

    Hi All,
    I've large data as a String which I need to save in Oracle in VARCHAR2 column. As Varchar2 allows maximum of 4000 characters, I wish to compress this String and save in DB.
    I tried to compress the String using Delfater and GZip. In both methods I uses Streams concep (DeflaterOutputStream, GZipOutputStream) and both Classes have the option to return the Compressed data in byte[] and String format.
    When I returned in String format, the same String is giving error while decompressing "java.util.zip.ZipException: incorrect data check". How to solve this problem.
    When I tried to save the compressed String in DB (Oracle),
    initially I got the error "java.sql.SQLException: Malformed SQL92 string at position: 1109"
    and later I tried to save like this 'strCompressed.replace("'","''") i.e., I replaced all single quotes to 2-single quotes and the error message is "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character".
    Is there any character to replace in the compressed String. and how to solve the problem with decompression.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Pavan Pinnu.

    both Classes have the option to return the Compressed data in byte[] and String format.Don't do that. String is not a container for binary data. You can't use it for compressed data. Use the byte[], send the byte[] to the database, get it back from the database, uncompress it, and then turn that back into a String.

  • Problem with QT PRO image sequence export

    I have quicktime pro. When I export a .avi file into a .bmp sequence, it will name the files like this: whatever0001.bmp, whatever0002.bmp, and so on until whatever8000.bmp, depending on how long the video is. The problem with this is, I need to use the image sequence combined with a WAV file in order to get a certain file format (please, don't ask me what it is). However, the encoder needs to files to be: whatever1.bmp, whatever2.bmp, whatever3.bmp, etc.
    How can I get quicktime pro to export the image sequence .bmp pictures like that? And if it's not possible, can you please point me to some freeware that can (OS X prefered, but I can use windows ones).
    Thanks.

  • Massive problems with nested multi-cam sequences

    Hey all,
    I'm absolutely pulling my hair out over some issues I'm having and hope somebody out there might have an answer.  I'm creating a short interview project, including interviews of two people individually, with two separate cameras and external sound capture.  My goal is to cut between their separate answers to each question.  For each interview I created a multi-cam sequence within its own timeline.  Then, in my master sequence, I used the source monitor to pull out the specific clips from each interview sequence which I wanted to include, and assembled them into the master timeline.
    I'm having two difficulties.  First, for whatever reason, I'm experiencing audio glitching when the cuts between sequence clips occur.  The glitch is like an audio "scramble," lasts about a half second, plenty of time to be distracting and detract from the whole of the project.  There are no such audio glitches present when viewing the interview sequences specifically.  I had applied effects to the audio tracks both within the interview sequences and the master sequence.  I've since disabled every effect but the problem persists, and it is still present upon rendering the master timeline.  I have absolutely no idea what to do about this.
    The second issue is more general.  I've got my media cache on an internal SSD, and I'm pulling my media from an internal HDD, with Premiere Installed on a different SSD with my operating system.  The two interview sequences play back wonderfully, no delays whatsoever.  The master timeline, however, with all the clips extracted from the interview sequences, plays slow as molasses.  It takes 10-15 seconds for the play head to even start moving once I click 'play', which has made this entire process excruciatingly difficult.  Is this a known issue?  Why would my performance be so completely degraded working with nested sequences?  Isn't everything referencing the exact same files?
    Ugh, long night working on this.  Thank you for any help.

    Well, I've come up with a terrible, but comical solution for the second issue which doesn't involve reworking anything.  It turns out that, upon launching premiere, I can play the master sequence with nested multi-cam sequences a grand total of ONCE with minimal delay.  If I stop the play through, then it will take 3-4 minutes to get the sequence playing again.  Of course, the Premiere decides to hang when I try to close it after playing this master timeline, so I'm finding that I can inch my way through this project by (1) launching premiere, (2) playing the master sequence, (3) make the edits I need, (4) forcibly crash Premiere, and (5) relaunch Premiere and repeat.  It's a terrible way to work, but the project is so close to completion that I'm willing to suffer through it.
    As to issue 1, I've taken each offending clip, extending the audio track one or two frames in the beginning of each clip, and then use those frames to ramp the volume up from silent to 0db.  This seems to avoid the brief moment of distortion at the beginning.  Notably I did try your suggestion by going back to the original, source audio, but I was still getting the same issue.  My work-around is the only solution I've been able to come up with.

  • Problem with compressing unicode file names in zip file

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a problem while compressing the unicode file name in a zip file. I used the below code for compressing the unicode files.
    String[] source = null;
    // C:\\TestData\\unicode_filename.txt :  unicode_filename.txt is the file created in japanesse language
    source = new String[] {"C:\\TestData\\temp_properties.xml","C:\\TestData\\unicode_filename.txt" };
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    // Create the ZIP file
    String target = "C:\\TestData\\target.zip";
    ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(target));
    // Compress the files
    for (int i = 0; i < source.length; i++)
         FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(source);
         // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
         String fileName;
         File tempFile;
         ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(source[i]);
         fileName = zipEntry.getName();
    zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
    zipEntry.setMethod(ZipEntry.DEFLATED);
    getUTF8Bytes(source[i]);
    // here I'm unable to find the unicode files and not able to understand.
    out.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
    // Transfer bytes from the file to the ZIP file
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
    out.write(buf, 0, len);
    // Complete the entry
    out.closeEntry();
    in.close();
    // Complete the ZIP file
    out.close();Please help me how to fix this issue.

  • Problems with mapping after bundling messages into one XML-file

    Hi all,
    Case 1: one DebMas IDoc ==> XI ==> one XML-file : no problems with mapping.
    Case 2: several DebMas IDoc's ==> XI ==> one XML-file : problems with mapping.
    Explanation:
    Incoming DebMas IDoc's:
    Businesspartner 1 : no Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
    Businesspartner 2 : Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
    Businesspartner 3 : Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
    Businesspartner 4 : Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
    After bundling into one XML-file:
    Businesspartner 1 : no Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM).
    Businesspartner 2 : no Customer Master Partner Functions (E1KNVPM) !!!!
    Businesspartner 3 : Customer Master Partner Functions of Bp 2 (E1KNVPM) !!!!.
    Businesspartner 4 : Customer Master Partner Functions of Bp 3 (E1KNVPM) !!!!.
    All the payloads of the IDoc's are correct.
    In the message mapping we use a Container for the Partner Functions (shown as below)
    Is this a serious bug in the mapping of SAP XI ?
    Does anyone knows how to solve this serious problem.

    Regards,
    Theo Pijlman

    Hi,
    Example:
    Input idoc has field F1 with occurence 0..unbnd
    My input values for field F1 is
    1
    none
    2
    3
    Say, I have a mapping, F1---->TargetF1
    In the target only 3 TargetF1s will be created for the values 1,2,3 and nothing will be created for the field F1 with no value.
    To overcome this, use collapse contexts.
    F1->collapsecontexts>TargetF1
    This way, the TargetF1 fields created will have the following values:
    1
    blank
    2
    3
    Collapse contexts makes sure that a target is created, even if there is a context change specified at the source.
    Hope this is clear.
    Regards,
    Smitha.

  • Problem with output data when calling into Oracle stored procedure

    I have a problem that I think I've seen posted by others, but I can't find it anywhere on the forum. Here's what it looks like:
    I have a application that sends a query parameter called custID in a URL to a JSP page.
    http://domain.com/decrypt.jsp?custID=ewsw
    The JSP subsequently calls into the method below to run a decryption stored procedure on an Oracle db. The custId parameter works fine from most clients. However, I have seen the decryption stored procedure return invalid information on some clients in the following case:
    http://domain.com/decrypt.jsp?custID='eirwx
    Here is how I define my call to the DCUSTID (decryption stored procedure):
    public long dCustID(String sCustID)throws SQLException {
    CallableStatement cs = null;
    try {
    long nCustID = 0;
    if(conn == null || conn.isClosed()) {getLocalConnection();}
    String sp = "BEGIN DCUSTID(?,?);END;";
    cs = conn.prepareCall(sp);
    cs.setString(1, sCustID);
    cs.registerOutParameter(2,java.sql.Types.NUMERIC);
    cs.execute();
    nCustID = cs.getLong(2);
    return nCustID;
    }finally { release(cs); }
    I have not been able to find a problem with the stored procedure (although Im not counting that out). Is there any way that the jsp or the code above is corrupting the data before it gets to the stored procedure? I'm very suspicious of the single quote at the begining of the custID query string parameter.
    Thanks

    e return invalid information on some clients in the
    following case:
    The back tick doesn't matter.
    How do you know that the routine that you posted returns invalid information? Are you printing the value retreived before you return in the code that you posted? That is the only way to tell if that code is the problem vs some translation problem in something else.
    And what do you mean by 'invalid'? It does return a numeric value right? Is it negative? Or so large that it couldn't be a key? Or what?
    The input parameter to the stored proc is a varchar and not a char correct?

  • Problems with compressed words in emails sent through Outlook in Office for Mac 2011

    I have had problems with sending emails through Outlook both when:
    1) I copied text from a Word document and pasted into an email.
    2) I shared as HTML and sent an email.
    The problem I experience is that emails are received with random spaces dropped, such that words get merged together.
    I have spoken with Microsoft and have been told that problems with the copy and paste from Word into Outlook is a known issue.
    However, I have been told that I should be able to "Share as an HTML" in an email without issue. However, the very same problem exists.
    Now I am told that this may be a problem with my documents. However, I have had a colleague use my docs in the same way in Outlook on his PC without a problem. The other possibility I am told is that possibly I have a problem with my OS.
    Have others expererienced the same problem?

    Is your Outlook window formatted as HTML or text only? A word file has formatted text. If you want to copy only the text from your Word file, you should make a detour over a TextEdit window, or if you have BBEdit like follows:
    Copy your Word text, paste it into a TextEdit window - in this window you have to make a command first SHIFT + COMMAND + T if you have a window allowing formatting ("rich text"). Copy it once again - all the Meta formatting from Word are eliminated now! - and paste the text into your Outlook Window.
    If you want to send an HMTL Email, I am not sure, whether a copy and paste between Word and Outlook will work. This would mean, that the copy and paste should transform the Word-formatting into HTML-formatting fit for Outlook. Perhaps some others could answer this question.

  • Problems adding more than 1 sequence into compressor

    final cut 5.0 is open. One project with 4 0r 5 sequences.I go to export to compressor2. compressor 2opens fine I select dvd high quality 150 min (same happens with any comperession preset) select destnaition every thing is fine.

In the last version i could export and compress multiple sequences.I need to do this so all the compression could be done when i go home and when i return start creatingthe final dvd. HELP HELP

    Your description is a little sparse. Are you using Batch Export or simply Export with Compressor? You need to use Batch Export if you want to handle multiple sequences.
