Projecting from my G4 Powerbook in Europe

I'm going to be teaching in Italy in late May. I use lots of brief videos to illustrate what I mean, and I also will show slides. I want to be sure of a few things about showing video and slide presentations there:
1. What connectors do I need to connect my computer to a European monitor or projector? Are they the same (usually VGA or RCA plug for video, RCA or mini-plug for sound) as in the U.S.? If necessary, is it possible to send video and sound outward through the firewire or USB ports?
2. Under what circumstances would I need to re-export my imovies into QuickTime movies using the the European PAL format? Is this necessary only if I'm creating DVDs to show through European equipment (I don't normally use DVDs as backup), or would it also be necessary if, for example, I have to run my computer's output through a VCR and into a TV?
3. If I bring a portable hard drive with my QT movies and presentations on it, will I be able to load them onto someone's PC or Mac there, and will they work (subject to whatever limitations may be imposed by the arrangements described above)?
4. Is there any way to convert a QuickTime movie created in NTSC into a QuickTime using PAL?
OK, I guess that's it for now. I have to be sure my video, especially, works, because my whole program depends on showing all these short videos. Thanks in advance for your help!

having the aple store reinstall iDVD from disk solved my problem

Unable to change window properties after upgrading project from X5 to RH8

Hi,
I just upgraded an existing project from X5 to RH8. In Windows Properties (HTML Help), if I make any changes and click OK, I receive the following message:
"For Width field please enter a value between 65 and 24."
If I do enter a value within those parameters in any of the "Width" options on the Properties page, I'm still presented with the same error message.
How can this be corrected?
Thanks!

Hi there
Perhaps try creating a totally new window definition and configuring the parameters as desired.
Once in a blue moon we see that the window definition somehow becomes corrupt.
Cheers... Rick

How to delete projects from Vault

Ok, here is the issue.
I work remotely on a laptop and my main library and vault are on my home computer.
I only keep the last couple of projects on the laptop and use the vault to backup those projects. I used managed files.
When I get home from the road, I export/import the projects to the home machine and master library to do further work and use vault on an external for backup.
So, on the laptop, I will delete projects to make more space on the hdd and I dont need them on the laptop any longer (they are already in the master library and vault at home).
However, the problem is that when I delete those projects and then update the vault, it does not seem to delete those projects in the vault. So the vault just keeps growing in size until it fills up and I cant seem to delete those projects from the vault. Again, both the laptop library and the laptop vault are simply for backup while on the road so I'd like to have the vault on the portable be able to stay synced with the library on the laptop. When I delete a project, it does the same in the vault to keep the external space consistent as well.
Is there any way to do this? Shouldnt the vault basically just back up the library and when something is deleted from the library it should be deleted from the vault as well?
As it is, I need to delete the entire vault when it fills the external and create a whole new one after deleting the projects from the library.
Is there an easier way?

I have not contacted AppleCare, but will if this is how its working for others.
Have you tried this and are sure it is working that way? After all, last week after deleting three projects from the laptop and main library and then updating the vault, I had a vault that was over 80 gigs in size while the library was now less than 20 gigs in size.
After deleting the vault and starting a new one, the new vault was approximately the same size as the library, actually slightly smaller like it is with the master vaults at home with the main library.
I have twice now had my external fill up with the vault while I had been constantly deleting old projects on the laptop. So it just seemed to keep adding new stuff to the vault, but not get rid of the old that I was deleting.

New Project From MS Powerpoint

Hi,
I've just installed and licensed Captivate 7. I am having problems using the New Project from MSPowerpoint or the Insert / Powerpoint Slide option for a Blank Project. I have tried this with both .ppt and .pptx files which I can open and save in Powerpoint 2007.
When I try to create a New Project from MSPowerpoint Captivate tells me it is parsing the file, then it converts the slides (only 2 slides in the presentation), and then it freezes, and does nothing and I have to close the application down from Task Manager. Creating a new project and then using the Insert / Powerpoint Slide option also freezes. I have tried this with more than one Powerpoint presentation. I have also tried this with 'Run the program as an Administrator' set.
I have also installed the 7.01 update, and uninstalled and reinstalled Captivate to check my installation.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how to get Captivate to import slides from Powerpoint?
Thanks for your help.

Refreshing/deleting the Preferences folder is not mentioned, but that recommendation can be found in a lot of threads in this forum. Clearing cache regularly is another good practice, not with the files you are actively working on (they provide means to recover a file, besides backup that is by default not checked in Preferences).
When importing PPT did you check High Fidelity option?

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

BUG in PE 13- cannot open and save projects from PE11!!!!!!!

For 1 month I'm requesting a TECH Support to resolve a BUG in Adobe Premiere Elements 13 that cannot load and save projects from PE11. I already provided all details several times (about my PC system & exact steps to reproduce a problem, etc) & posted in this PE forum as well.
Adobe is the WORST company I have ever came across that shows NO SUPPORT for its clients. Not only they don't have a phone line, but lacking in providing its clients with other channels to contact Tech Support (if such exists??) via emails or a chat. It is unheard of that a company would SELL its products, collected money & then had NO responsibility to correct problems they introduced. SHAME on you! I will post this opinion in Facebook and everywhere. I will warn people they should beware on spending money on Adobe horrible products where a company refuses even support these products and where a company only relies on common users who also already spent money and now experiencing all sort of problems. Unbelievable!
Adobe team, if you are not helping with resolving your last bugs, you should at least send me a link for the old PE11 that I could finish my projects. I hope that someone will finally contact me

How to clean project from comman line ?

How to clean project from comman line ?
I would like to invoke the same functionality as in Flex
Builder Project -> clean... -> clean all projects...
but from command line is it possible ?

You can:
1) Perform a project clean up (p.153 of the user manual) - it removes any unused recordings, samples and other files
2) Consolidate project (p. 154 of manual) - this copies all the used audio material into the project folder and also deletes any empty folders within project folder, making it easier to navigate
3) Save project as a copy - this creates another project folder, but without all the backups and other additional files

Robo HTML 9 will not open our project from Source Control after initial start.

We have a project in version control that we have been using forever, since 2003 or so and many versions of RH. Now that we have upgraded to 9, this project will open the first time in version control and work normally. Once you close the project and attempt to reopen from the starter screen, it opens just great, just not in version control. The files are still set to read only. I have done this several times and the only way i can work on my project in version control is to act like i am opening a project from scratch, then it needs to overwrite all of my local files with the server files. It would not be so bad but I am 3000 miles away from the server and 13 hops plus a slow firewall on the other end. While this has never been a problem in the past it is a big problem because it takes hours for all the files to download and overwrite my local files.
This only happens with RH9 and Version Control 3.1. RH8 works no problem. So, I don't know if this is a RH9 starter problem or a Source Control Problem. Maybe I will make a similar thread in the RH area. I'll wait to see if I get any useful hits from this one first.
It is very strange, I had RH9 open for several days because I was afraid to close the project for this reason and yesterday I published for the month so the heat is less right now but today, it opened with no source control. If I go to Source Control the only thing i can select is put project in source control. That is how it got into source control after converting to RH9.
We have another project that seems to open from version control normally but we can only save topics in HTML view. No useful answers to that topic after a week.
Got any ideas???
I have tried different folder names, different paths, etc.
Thanks,
dv

Ok, here is a wierd one, I used the add to version control icon in the menu bar, It already knew the path so I figured I'm the only one who has been editing these files for the past few days so I clicked add to version control. It added it. I closed and reopeded and still had the same files checked out. Closed, checked in all, then reopened and it is working in SourceControl. Strange that after opening from source control and closing that you need to reopen and tell it to put the project into source control. Obviously some flag is not getting set somewhere. This might help others having problems reopening source control files.

Importing a project FROM Premiere Pro to FCP - Any alternative to EDL ?

Hi, when I google this issue - trying to get a project from Adobe Premiere Pro (for instance CS4) to Final Cut I am always terribly frustrated to find only references to the fact that APP imports XML (and now in 4.01 with better support for Final Cut Pro XML). But APP only exports EDL, and that is a very limited platform for talking accross the programs. Does any one have a better solution? Is there any external software for converting an APP project into XML? Can anyone hint as to why Adobe doesn't include "export to xml" in the export menu (like Final Cut Pro so elegantly does) other than fear of people taking their projects and running away to Final Cut Pro (which doesn't make any sense at all, and is no way of dealing with users' needs). Because it would seem that they only want us to be able to move stuff from FCP to APP. But what about us, who desperately need to move in the other direction?! Any light on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and a happy 2009.

+I would indeed like to do this test. To what email do I send a zipped file to?+
http://www.automaticduck.com/contact/
+And also, if I may keep bothering you on this issue: Granted that APP projects are XML, still, Final Cut Pro projects and Avid Projects are NOT XML, they can just interact well with certain forms of XML (type 1,2,3 etc, but apparently not prproj), correct? (a curiosity)+
Correct, Final Cut Pro project files and Avid project and bin files are not XML. Final Cut Pro has the ability to export and import XML files that are formatted as XML. XML is a flexible file format, the files can web pages, preference files, document files, just about anything. Apple has defined an XML format that can be used to interchange project data with Final Cut Pro. For a lot of good reasons it doesn't make sense for third parties to write or read FCP project files directly so Apple developed a method to write and read project data through another format. XML is an excellent choice because it is so easy to work with, XML files are simply text, easily read and edited and written. Avid systems use another file format for interchange with other manufacturers, AAF. AAF is not XML.
A lot of editors first heard of "XML" via Final Cut Pro's use of it as an interchange format, so it isn't surprising that these editors equate XML with FCP. It is a bit pedantic of me to drive home the point, but I just want you to clearly understand the issue.

Importing a project from RH 6 to 9

Importing archived project from DVD

I used burn disk to arcive a project to a DVD. That seemed to work fine.
I then started a new project and tried to import the "archived project from the DVD and I keep getting this error:
The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh Hard Disk/Volumes/Media Drive/Home movies/Billie Jo awards” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
So far I am unable to import this DVD or anything else into iMovie
Any Ideas?
David

Your Archived DVD Project will only open in iDVD.
To access the video you will need the burned copy of the DVD
To import your DVD you will need a DVD ripper. I use Mac the ripper http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715.
If you want to only import the video (to edit or watch on your computer) chose in mode chapter extraction and select the ones you want (yes you can select them all). Then you will need to condvert the .VOB file (found in the video_TS file) to a .MOV or H264 using FFMpegX http://ffmpegx.com/download.html. If the binaries dont work just press cancel (you dont need them for this conversion). Then import your .MOV or .MP4 file into iMovie.
That should do it

Can't open project from DB

I am about ready to throw this machine out the window!! I
have installed Robohelp X5 and updated to 5.0.2. I also installed a
VCS patch since RH doesn't like to play nice with PVCS. I can open
projects from local drives just fine, but when I try to open a
project from our database, I get this: "Unknown exception error,
please contact ..." This occurs after I select my location to store
files and click OK. I know my username and password are good
because other users can open projects on their machines using my
login info. I cannot open any projects using anybody else's info
either. This is the second box that I've had this occur, I actually
requested a new one to see if it would work on a different machine
and the exact same thing happens. So, I would greatly appreciate
any help with this!

Thanks for the reply. Let me give you some more details. Oh
and I'm not using PVCS for VC with Robohelp, but I do have it
installed on my machine for other projects.
What I am doing is trying to open the project through
RoboSource Control. Once in RoboHelp HTML I select the Open from
RoboSource option from the Open Project dialog box, and it prompts
me to enter the server and DB name, with my username and password.
After that, it accesses the project and asks me to select a
location to store the files on my local drive. Once I do that and
click OK to proceed, I get the error. What SHOUILD happen is it
should copy the files to the specified location on my local drive
and allow me to then open the project, but I can't get that far.
It's very frustrating, especially since everyone else can do it but
me.
