Providing files for editors

I work with a large company in Burbank, California and we are currently providing video content on Dbeta to affiliates and news organizations.
Earlier this year we started providing the same content over the internet. The end user can sign on and download the media files. Much cheaper and faster.
Here in lies the problem. Somewhere some one made the decision to provide three formats - DV25 (.MOV files), AVI's and MPEG2. End users could be using any number of editing systems AVID, FCP, Grassvalley etc. So far, most can only seem to use the .MOV files and many are having problems with the quality of the video once they ingest it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what are the best files to provide and how to get around these issues with quality??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ken

We bring it in with DVCPro50 for our uses, but then convert it to DV25 to send to other users over the net. The files work great when you download them - just fine in quick time player. Problem is when they are ingested into AVID or other editing systems. So far, the biggest issue has been interlacing issues. There have been complaints of over all "poor quality", but no real definition of what that poor quality is.
Honestly, I think a lot of this might be their basic reluctance to take media from the net. The DVCPro50 files are much larger and so far harder to get people to take over the net. I suppose in a few short months this problem of file size and bandwidth will be a bigger problem.

  • Problems providing files for print on an A4 page?

    Hi,
    I have created a small book with pages of an average size of A5.  I exported it to PDF and put on crop marks etc and sent it off to my printer.  However, they say they need the pages with crop marks on A4 pages (not scaled up, just the A5 page basically stuck on an A4 page).  I don't understand why they need this and as I am relatvely new to InDesign I don't know how to do this without messing up my layout etc.  I expect it's incredibly simple...
    Any advice would be very welcome!
    Thanks
    Kat

    Thanks for your reply Peter,
    I exported the book as single pages to create a multi-page PDF.  They are A5 but the printer wanted them presented on A4 pages??  I thought it was odd too, but I actually just figured out how to do it via Adobe Acrobat Pro - I went to the "Crop pages" option and changed the page size there....
    Glad it's solved now anyway.

  • Providing configuration file for SQL 2012 Express installation which installing HPC 2012 R2

    Hi guys,
    I need to know if there is any way to provide configuration file for SQL 2012 Express installation which installing HPC 2012 R2?
    I am scripting installation on HPC 2012 R2 with default SQL 2012 Express edition but I am not able to find any option to provide a configuation file for SQL 2012 Express installaiton.
    Thanks,
    Vivs.

    Hi Vivs,
    As my understanding, you want to generate a configuration file and install SQL Server 2012 express edition using that configuration file.
    If that is the case, firstly, you could generate the configuration file following the steps below since express edition is run in AutoAdvance mode which skips "Ready to Install" page.
    1.Double-click SQL Server installation file in your local drive, you will see that the file will be extracted to a temporary folder. Please make a note of what directory it is extracted to. For example, it could be in c:\ followed by a folder name which
    will be a set of random letters and numbers "gy7h8hjhhj67rfs7".
    2.Cancel installation. Then click on the Start button on the task bar, click run, type the command cmd.exe, and go to that directory via cmd.
    3.Execute the following command: setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /UIMODE=Normal
    4.Follow the wizard through to the 'Ready to Install' page. The path to the configuration file is specified in the 'Ready to Install' page in the configuration file path section.
    5.Cancel the setup without actually completing the installation, to generate the INI file.
    Secondly, to install SQL Server using Command Prompt, go to the SQL Server installation media root (the temporary folder) from the command prompt and specify the ConfigurationFile.ini as a parameter as shown below.
    Setup.exe /ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFile.INI
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

  • Configuration file for pkcs11 security provider

    Hi all,
    I'm using Mandriva 2008.0 . In the jdk 1.5.0 documentation, it is given that, the security provider pkcs11 can be configured statically by adding an entry, as shown below, in the java.security file present in the directory jre/lib/security/.
    *# configuration for security providers 1-6 ommitted*
    security.provider.7=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 /opt/bar/cfg/pkcs11.cfg
    Where can I get the configuration file (pkcs11.cfg) from? Please direct me how to proceed.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I went through that Java SE6 documentation link. It describes the contents of the configuration file for pkcs11. But I couldn't find the information of where can I get the configuration file for pkcs11 security provider from.
    Thanks.

  • OLEDB provider VFPOLEDB for linked server returned message "Invalid path or file name"

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.  I'd researched this error for days, reading all the post in this forum, however none of them address my issue.
    We use VFP 9 .dbf tables (free tables).  I setup a linked server to query the tables.  As first we were not able to view the tables in SQL Server Mgmt Studio (MSMS) until I sorted out the permissions.  I can query the tables if I copy over
    to the server so they are local tables.  However, across the network I am continually getting the error above and the following error:
    "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider VFPOLEDB for linked server XXX."
    Here are the steps I've performed...
    Installed a 32 bit instance of SQL Server Express 2008 R2 using Windows Authentication on server 2 (the 64 bit instance could not see the VFP OLE DB provider, as we all know, because the provider is only 32 bit)
    Installed the latest VFP OLE DB from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14839.
    In the VFPOLEDB provider, I enabled Nested queries, Level zero only, Allow inprocess, and Supports 'Like' operator.
    Setup a linked server using the following query:
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
    @server = N'LinkedAC',
    @srvproduct = N'Visual FoxPro 9',
    @provider = N'VFPOLEDB',
    @datasrc = N'"\\server1\share\TIW\KOKAC"',
    @provstr = N'VFPOLEDB.1'
    At first I could not view the tables when expanding default>Tables, it failed due to a "catastrophic failure".  That can't be good ;-).  After digging around, I surmised it was because I'd set the SQL Instance to run as NT Authority\NetworkService.
    I created a new user, LinkedVFP, and added to the SQL Instance (using Windows Authentication), mapped the user to the master database with the db_datareader role.  I also added the LinkedVFP user to the network share.  I was then able to browse
    the tables in MSMS and query the data when local, but still not across the network.
    I'm using Crystal Reports to try and query the data from my local workstation using SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(mylinkedserver, 'select * from table1').  This produces the two errors I mentioned above.
    To clarify, the VFP tables are on server 1 and the linked server is on server 2.  I've read about service account delegation, but unclear if this is the issue.  I went into our domain controller (neither server 1 or 2), AD User and Computers, and
    for server 2 I enabled 'Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)'. 
    Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks!

  • Provider Driver file for JMS

    Friends
    We have a IBM Websphere MQ 5.3 service (fix) pack 13 system. We are trying to use XI to connect to this system via JMS. My question is, are the jar or driver files that we deploy initially inorder to get the JMS to connect to MQ, service pack specific ?
    Do we have different jar files for different service pack levels of MQ system ??
    Do let me know.
    regards
    Sameer

    Hi Sameer,
    <i>are the jar or driver files that we deploy initially inorder to get the JMS to connect to MQ, service pack specific ?</i>
    Ans : No, There is nothing to do with J2EE SP Level
    <i> Do we have different jar files for different service pack levels of MQ system ??</i>
    Ans:  Yes, Jar files are MQ version specific. You need to deploy different Jar files if MQ Version is changed.
    Following is SAP note help you to select Jar files for MQ Specific version.

  • Saving a JPEG file for printing

    When saving a JPEG file for printing using Elements9, should one use "baseline standard, optimized or progressive"?

    Thanks, Andromeda....  I see that PSE8 Organizer has the ability to update the Caption as you have described.  The caption appears in the Description field in the General area and in the Description field in the IPTC area of the image file.  I was unable to update the Title or any other fields using Organizer.  Looks like PSE8 Editor must be used to update all the metadata fields in the image file.  Thus far, the only way I have been able to update the metadata in a JPEG file without having to re-compress it is with a HEX editor.  This, however, is a slow process at best.  Too bad Organizer or Editor does not provide the abilty to update all fields in the metadata without having to recompress the file.  I am not a programmer; however, it would appear to be a fairly straight-forward process.  Thanks, again.

  • Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

    Hi all,
    I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
    I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
    However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
    "file" E212: Can't open file for writing
    Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
    kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
    This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
    This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the replies
    I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
    Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
    Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
    There usual response is "its unsupported".
    If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
    What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???
