Publishing large files into several small ones?

Hello everyone.
I have a project, almost 16 mb large. It;s quite large and the users have to wait a bit to get the tutorial.
I tried this. I split the porject into different projects like 1. menu, 2. description, 3. practice. and then I link the projeect menu to description, practice and so on. So it's working fine! I think this is a good solution to stop the students boredom. Now there is a little problem on this.... THE TABLE OF CONTENTS. For every project there is a new table of contents.
So, How can I do to have the same table of contents in all the projects? or better yet, How can I do to publish the whole project but like streaming, I mean instead of loading the 16mb I want it loads deppending on the slide the student is. Is it possible????
Thanks a million!
Ben

Hi there
There are many variables at stake here, such as Captivate version as well as how you are presenting the TOC.
If you are using Captivate 3, perhaps explore the MenuBuilder application.
If you are using Captivate 4 or 5, You might investigate using the Aggregator application.

Compressing large file into several small files

what can i use to compress a 5gb file in several smaller files, and that will easy rejoined at a later date?
thanks

Hi, Simon.
Actually, what it sounds like you want to do is take a large file and break it up into several compressed files that can later be rejoined.
Two ideas for you:
1. Put a copy of the file in a folder of its own, then create a disk image of that folder. You can then create a segmented disk image using the segment verb of the hditutil command in Terminal. Disk Utility provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to some of the functions in hdiutil, but unfortunately not the segment verb, so you have to use hditutil in Terminal to segment a disk image.
2. If you have StuffIt Deluxe, you can create a segmented archive. This takes one large StuffIt archive and breaks it into smaller segments of a size you define.2.1. You first make a StuffIt archive of the large file, then use StuffIt's Segment function to break this into segments.
2.2. Copying all the segments back to your hard drive and Unstuffing the first segment (which is readily identifiable) will unpack all the segments and recreate the original, large file.I'm not sure if StufIt Standard Edition supports creating segmented archives, but I know StuffIt Deluxe does as I have that product.
Good luck!

Collapsing a large file into a Small one

I've been looking in the manual and the boards but I dont know what for exactly, so here I am.
I want to take a one hour audio recording and speed it up so that its only a couple minutes long.
I don't mind distortion.
It was a field recording in mp3 format, from an edirol recorder.
Can i do this in STP or should I use another application?
Thank you,
Nate

Try [Time Stretch|http://documentation.apple.com/en/soundtrackpro/usermanual/index.html#c hapter=9%26section=10%26tasks=true]
if it's more than 10% of the length of the file the output will be bad…

Source code organization: How to divide large JavaScript files into several smaller JavaScript files?

Hello,
some of my JavaScripts have become considerably large over time. What I would like to do is to split a single (large) JavaScript source file into several smaller source files plus an additional JavaScript file containing code or directives to recombine the split files.
In other words, I would like to organize my JavaScript source code into re-usable modules.
Although I searched the Acrobat JavaScript developer documentation and did a lot of Web searching, I still have no idea...
whether the Acrobat JavaScript scripting environment itself does provide a code structuring mechanism
how to properly organize large Acrobat JavaScripts in general.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!
Sebastian

Document-level scripts are not accessible to other documents/scripts, so they're not a good option.
Folder-level scripts, on the other hand, are accessible to all other documents/scripts. So if you have a general function that creates a 3D annotation, for example, you can place it in a folder-level script and then call it from other scripts (you will probably need to provide it a handle for the document and properties of the annotation).
One thing to be aware of, though, is that the folder-level scripts are loaded alphabetically, so don't put a reference in script aaa.js to something that loads in zzz.js, or you will get an error message when you open Acrobat. (this is not a problem if zzz.js is not called during the launch of Acrobat)

How do I divide a large catalogue into two smaller one on the same computer?

How can I divide a large catalogue into two smaller ones on the same computer? Can I just create a new catalogue and move files and folders from the old one to the new one? I am using PSE 12 in Windows 7.

A quick update....
I copied the folder in ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes that contains all of my local mailboxes over to the same location in the new account. When I go into mail, the entire file structure is there, however it does not let me view (or search) any of the messages. The messages can be accessed through the Finder, though.
I tried to "Rebuild" the local mailboxes, but it didn't seem to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

Large servlet or several small ones??

I am building a servlet for a web application which is becoming quite large. I am beginning to wonder about the resources that this will use on the server.
Does anyone have any views on wether it would be better to split the servlet into several smaller or keep one large do it all.
cheers
chris

I read these question and answers, and I'm sure small servlets are a better programming way, but my question is what is faster?
I mean one big servlet need time to load and initialize but this is only for the first time, many small servlets or a framework need time to instantiate objects at every call.
Am I wrong?

Compressing a large file into a small file.

So i have a pretty large file that i am trying to make very small with good quality. the file before exporting it is about 1gig. I need to make it 100mbs. Right now i've tried compressing it with the h.264 compressing type, and i am having to go as low as 300kbits. I use aac 48 for the audio. It is just way to pixelated to submit something like this. But i guess i could make the actual video a smaller size something like 720x480 and just letterboxing it to keep it widescreen? Any hints on a good way to make this 21 minute video around 100mbs?

There are three ways to decrease the file size of a video.
1. Reduce the image size. For example, the change of a 720x480 DV image to a 320x240 will decrease the size by a factor of 4
2. Reduce the frame rate. For example, changing from a 30 fps to 15 fps will decrease the size by a factor of 2
3. Increase the compression/ change code. This is the black magic part of online material. Only you can decide what's good enough.

How to split a big file into several small files using XI

Hi,
Is there any way to split a huge file into small files using XI.
Thanks
Mukesh

There is a how to guide for using file adapters, an "sdn search" will get you the document.
Based on that , read a file into XI, Use strings to store the file content and do the split
here is some code to get you started
===========
Pseudocode:
===========
// This can be passed in - however many output files to which the source is split
numOutputFiles = 5;
// Create the same number of filehandles as numOutputFiles specifies
open file1, file2, file3, file4, file5;
// Create an Array to hold the references to those filehandles
Array[5] fileHandles = {file1, file2, file3, file5, file5};
// Initialize a loop counter
int loopCounter = 0;
// a temporary holder to "point" the output stream to the correct output file
File currentOutputFile = null;
// loop through your input file
while (sourceFile.nextLine != null)
loopCounter++;
if (loopCounter == (numOutputFiles +1) // you've reached 5, loop back
loopCounter = 1;
currentOutputFile = fileHandles[loopCounter]; // gets the output file at that index of the array
currentOutputFile.write(sourceFile.nextLine);

How to Zip a Large File into Several Mini Zip Files?

Hi Everyone,
I've got a few camera video clips (about 100MB in size each) that I would like to send through e-mail.
I've got to split them into smaller pieces, but how do I get this done?
I don't want to use third party applications (if possible)
I've Googled and found a few suggestions but I can't seem to get anything done.
I tried the Terminal approach, but the command "zip" does not exist.
man zip does not exist...
If I do a Create Archive - it will result in a single zip file, but I need to split it to a few segments, plus I'm trying to send these to Windows users.
Please help, and thanks in advance...

Hi Sagasse buddy, thanks for your reply.
Found something interesting as I was browsing VersionTracker.
Zip Tools 1.1 at http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15462
+Product Description:+
+Installs zip 2.32 and unzip 5.52 files.+
+I noticed some time ago that there are a lot of machines out there without a copy of the zip and unzip binaries that Apple installs as part of their Developer Tools. As these tools are very useful, and several people, including myself, have written applications or scripts that depend at least in part on this binaries, I've built an installer.+
+Note, I didn't make the binaries, I'm just redistributing them because they can be hard to find and install if you're not "in the know".+
+These binaries are meant to be used from the Terminal and include no GUI, let alone an Aqua one. For your convenience, I have included a drag-and-drop AppleScript that will allow you to use the tools without going to the Terminal.+
Maybe I do not have those binaries in my machine...
I'll try out your suggestion as well as this Zip Tools 1.1 thingy.

Getting a large file with 2 small ones

HI,
I'm playing with final cut pro 5 ...
I created a very basic project with 2 movies (quicktime movie 320x240, 8.9 and 9.9 MB) done with my coolpix 3100 camera
I added a transition at the beginning, and one between the 2 movies. (5s each transition)
I select the Render ALL, then I export it into a quicktime movie with "current settings" "include audio and video" and "make movie self contained"
I get a final file which is 1'10 length, 720x576 and 253.5MB long !!! (Codecs is DV-PAL Integer)
is that normal to have such a big file ??

Did you create a sequence with settings that matched your source movies? It looks like you edited your 320x240 quicktimes into a standard PAL dv sequence. DV is about 5 minutes a gig.
Create a new sequence preset that matches your source movies as far as pixel size. For the codec, you might want to match your source files or choose an alternative.

How to break big video file into many small ones?

I have a 1-hour long video file (miniDV), recorded on tape with timecode but without timecode markers between individual clips (that is, I cannot scene detect capture it). How do I best go about accurately breaking it up into individual video files on my disc?
1) capture it, drag it into Timeline, cut into clips there, manually copy-paste the in-out data into a batch list. Takes lots of time.
or
2) capture it, open it in Source Window, make subclips, export the batch list. The problem here is that the timecode in the original file is weird, starting at 08;06;40;01, and all the subclips inherit it. Otherwise, it would probably take less time than option (1).
or
Is there any way to generate batch list from the timeline, in order to avoid time-consuming manual copy-pasting in-out data?
Thank you!

I don't understand how you can have timecode that won't allow you to use it to tell (something like scenalzer) to split on capture or whatever. Just curious.
Scene capture for DV footage isn't dependent on timecode, it's dependent on datecode/time-of-day (TOD) information written onto the tape. I've run into this problem before when the internal battery on a DV camera was dead, and so the internal TOD generator didn't function; the same time and date was written on every single frame, making it impossible to use automatic scene detection.
Here's another option: drop your clip into a sequence, and split it (using the razor and trimming tools) where you want scene breaks. Be sure to trim at least a couple of frames off of either the tail of the outgoing clip or the head of the incoming clip. When done, go to Project > Project Manager, and use the "Create New Trimmed Project" option. Uncheck the "Include Handles" option, set your destination and hit OK. Premiere will create shorter trimmed versions of the original clip in the destination you specify, and also create a new project file that points to those trimmed versions; there is no quality loss, so don't worry about that. You can either use the generated project, or just import the split clips into a new project.

In the example, I've given 5 records to split. If you want 50 records to split, then instead of 5 give 50 in the constant.

How to break up a large .java file into several?

Hi,
I have a pretty large .java file containing many private methods. I rather not have to always work in this very large file. Is there a way to separate this into several smaller files, but to maintain the same relationship of all these private methods being part of the same class?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I thought that would be the answer. This is my first
Java app. It uses Swing and I use NetBeans as my
IDE.
I knew it was getting too large, but I was trying to
avoid having to reimplement the whole thing. I have a
few more features to add and I can see this file
growing by another 300-400 lines.You'll find it a lot simpler to write the second time round. You really don't want to have classes that big
I do in fact have a couple other .java files where I
created separate classes. Its just that I really need
to rethink or redesign this whole thing.You do. Sounds like you've got one class that does too many things. What does this big class do? Adding new features shouldn't bloat your code this way
