QT10 and .mov file problem

A movie file that plays fine on QT 7 and on iTunes 9, does not open on QT 10.
The file is a Quicktime movie file, with video codec: H.264, 4.38 GB, and 448kbps bit rate, if any of this helps.
Any suggestions?
Thank you .

the inspector says:
Format: H.264, 1280x720, Millions, AC3, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
FPS: 23.98
DataSize: 4.37 GB
Data Rate: 7754.62 kbits/s
Duration 0:01:20:42.24
Normal Size: 1280x720 pixels
Current Size: 1280x720 pixels (Actual)
Thats all.

I want to transfer my photo and movie files from my iPhone 4S to my mac.

I have posted this question before without any success and was hoping by reposting it may promt a solution to my problem.
I want to transfer my photo and movie files from my iPhone to my Mac OS X (10.5.8).
But I don't want to use Cloud or iTunes.
Is there a way to connect my iPhone 4S to my Mac directly,
say ... via a program or such on my MAC, to drag and drop the photos and Movie files,
directly into a folder. ??????????
Reason want to connect iPone to MAC or MAC to iPhone is ....
I have no DATA on my iPhone Mobile plan at moment.
So Photosync app is no good, as I can't download the app to my iPhone.
I can download a Photosync to my MAC ...
but with the Photosync app you can only send data.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry I should of mentioned ....

.mp4 and .mov files are just LARGE

Sorry, without posting all the encoding details, is there an obvious reason why my .mp4 and .mov files are ~10x the size that they should be after AME? I'm talking about files that are 30mb .mp4's before and 300mb.mov afterwards. If you need details I'll post. Thanks.

File size is determined primarily by only two factors - duration and bitrate. The codec used, resolution, frame rate, etc. all have little or no effect on file size.
Duration, and bitrate. If you want a smaller file, one or the other of those has to be reduced.

Using Automator and Applescript to search and move files to flash drive

I've used applescript and automator to do simple tasks like watch folders and move files and rename files, but that is about the extent. I am wondering if it is possible to set up a automator service or app that will do several things.
When a flash drive is plugged it, it will ask for a file to be searched for, then it will search a predetermined directory for files with the word or number in them and then it will copy the found files to the mounted flash drive.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks!

As a start, you can use launchd to run a script when a volume is mounted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.tonyt.LaunchOnVolMount</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>LaunchOnVolMount.sh</string>
          </array>
          <key>QueueDirectories</key>
          <array/>
          <key>StartOnMount</key>
          <true/>
          <key>WatchPaths</key>
          <array/>
</dict>
</plist>
You can then have the LaunchOnVolMount.sh script perform the tasks you need.
You can incorporate Applescript within the Bash script with osascript:
#!/bin/bash
answer=$( osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "What file do you want to search for?" default answer "" ' )
echo $answer
I beleive that you can also call an Applescript from launchd

WPA8.1 Feature to save and move files between folders and OneDrive Folders

Hi,
I would like to suggest to dev team a new feature to Adobe Reader on Windows Phone.
Today I was done a uggly workarround to save one PDF file on a OneDrive folder to send to my classmates. So I would like a feature to save and move files between folders on SD cards and OneDrive to keep my phone organized.
thank you for your time.

Here:
property aFolder : "a"
property bFolder : "b"
property cFolder : "c"
property dFolder : "d"
property eFolder : "e"
tell application "Finder"
try
set theLocation to the selection as alias
on error
set theLocation to (folder of the front window as alias)
end try
if not (exists folder aFolder of theLocation) then make new folder at theLocation with properties {name:aFolder}
if not (exists folder bFolder of theLocation) then make new folder at theLocation with properties {name:bFolder}
if not (exists folder cFolder of theLocation) then make new folder at theLocation with properties {name:cFolder}
if not (exists folder dFolder of theLocation) then make new folder at theLocation with properties {name:dFolder}
if not (exists folder eFolder of theLocation) then make new folder at theLocation with properties {name:eFolder}
set this_list to every file of theLocation
repeat with i in this_list
if (name of i) begins with "a" then
move i to folder "a" of theLocation
else if (name of i) begins with "b" then
move i to folder "b" of theLocation
else if (name of i) begins with "c" then
move i to folder "c" of theLocation
else if (name of i) begins with "d" then
move i to folder "d" of theLocation
else if (name of i) begins with "e" then
move i to folder "e" of theLocation
end if
set name of (the result) to items 3 thru -1 of (get name of (the result)) as string
end repeat

Export current format - JPG and MOV files

When exporting jpg and mov files in "current format" the mov files will be exported with only 1 second (ca 130kb).
If I export in "original format" it exports the mov files as they are, but the pictures are "original" and not show the last version.
Any idea?

If you dleted them you'll need to use a file recovery application like File Salvage

Firestore FSC problems with m2t and .mov files

I am having a problem opening files from Firestore FSC. Both m2t and Qt .mov
files will not open for me in FCE,iMovie or Qt with Quicktime MPEG2 reader
installed. Anyone having this problem and is there a solution other than
buying Final Cut Pro?
Charles Dodd

I am able to capture m2t and Quicktime.mov files from my FSC to FCE, but in
real time which defeats one of the reasons I purchased my FSC. Also
StreamClip will open the the m2t files, but not .mov files. I can't open the
the m2t/.mov files in FCE from my desktop or from a folder. Sony Vegas Pro
will open m2t files from a folder or desktop etc. I am very new at this, but
this if what I have accomplished so far. Thanks

Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?

I posted the following over at Creative Cow with no luck... hopefully I can get answers here ...
I am on a MAC - I joined the Adobe bandwagon during the great FCP migration of 2011 ... So far it's been great but...
Both Premiere CC AND After Effects CC are not recognizing Pro Res ...heck it doesn't seem like they are recognizing QUICKTIME in general (both progams are rejecting a .MOV I have with the animation codec) ...
When I try and open up a CS6 sequence in CC I get a message saying "The preset used by one or more of the sequences in this project requires third party components that could not be located." When you click ok just to get the project open, the media is offline.
When I try and IMPORT a .MOV into Premiere CC I get "The importer reported a generic error."
When I try and IMPORT a .MOV into AE cc I get "Cannot be imported- this 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported.
When I try a test render out of AE cc the default Format is Quicktime, but when you go to the Video Output Format Options the Video Codec has the number "0" instead of a list of codecs .... and when you click on the "0" it changes to "-1". Seriously there are NO codecs listed in the Options - No ProRes, No Animation, just the number zero.
Media Encoder obviously is essentially the same story.
This seems to be a Quicktime thing ... not JUST a ProRes thing.
CS6 has no problems working with my Mac and QT/ProRes ... so I know it's not my machine...
I really don't feel like calling India today to process a refund, but if I can't get this working on my Mac I dont need to pay for Adobe CC.

Did you know that there has been a major overhaul to prores and where\how it's installed? I've had the same issue, but I ran the following test:
I've installed the compressor, I used the cs6 prores and... ...FAILURE. I was on CS6, and it didn't work... ...Why? Tell ya in a moment... Next step:
I undid the last action by dumping the prores presets. Then I installed the cs7\cc version. Bingo.
I went and researched the problem.
Apple now includes most of the prores specification in the quicktime bundle (except their new 444). It's all in the same bundle. I looked into some workarounds people have used to get it working without pro-apps... ...they all focus on using the older prores which is installed as separate packages... ...and separate bundles. What does this mean?
If you are above 10.7 for your mac os, and you have compressor (latest), you have the prores built into the quicktime bundle. If you are 10.7 or below, and you have the version of compressor for that period (same codec, different file arrangement), you have the prores codecs all in separate bundles. They are inactive but still included in the quicktime bundle for 10.8 and above, so you couldn't use them without the right presets, along with compressor which changes the files to an actual bundle instead of a simple file inside the quicktime packaging.
If you are on later mac os and you have CS5 or above, use the CC version of the presets. If you have the older prores or an older compressor and wish to try and hack it in, you can do it, and then use the CS6 version of the presets supplied by adobe. They point to different bundles in the system. I use both, on different machines. IF you have cs5, you may want to use the "hack" way, and install the prores from older compressor, even if you have the newer one... ...They work faster in cs5 if you use the CS6 presets. Why? I do not know for certain, but I believe it has to do with the 32bit crosstalk. Cs6 starts with 64 and has to "dumb down" to 32 for a connection to quicktime directly, and then, if it finds 64bit architecture, smart-*** up to 64 again. In Cs5 you're stuck in 32 most of the way on the back end. Only a guess.
And when importing into premiere... ...HMM... >>>I had the same problems you had... It wanted to only import audio. If you have the time... Try:
Copy the presets from adobe that are for AME into the proper sequence preset folder of your Premiere app (the previews folder). You should also try and find a way to set up your main sequence edit. Try to remember that an AE import must be:
Fully Rendered into a file, and not linked from AE but from the file itself OR
The composition must be set to the same uncompressed codec (which means you need the preset in the AE app folder as well, finding this will be difficult, best of luck).
Remember to match your preset to your codec. IF you have separate prores bundles, use cs6 versions of the preset, and if you have the latest bundle, use the cC\cs7\2014 versions. This will let AE provide an uncompressed composition, but very slow in previewing, and if you render out, remember to render to a whole file (you can try to render-farm, but you still have to re-render in AME or Compressor afterward, as farm will only render out the frames and an audio file, not the proper file wrapper, even if you specify that wrapper; You have to build the file wrapper from the images and audio after you've rendered any effects).

Threads write and move files

Hi,
I'm trying to run the codes below with 200 threads using JMeter simulation (TCP connection). Here's my logic:
- clients connect to a server, server accepts and creates new thread
- the thread suppose to write the data into a file, but the file must be less than some size, in the case below is 200 bytes
- when the 200 bytes size limit is reached, the thread needs to move that file into another folder and then create a new file for the data to be written
- the writing data part is fine, but the moving data is not (many files aren't being moved)
- i should also mention, i declared the fname to be static variable (to be shared by threads)
So would anyone please help me like to give me advices if my codes below will work with the scenario above or if i need to approach the problem differently?
Thanks
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
while((data = in.readLine()) != null) {
    socket.setSoTimeout(5000);
    // data should be in the form of this regex
    data = (data.replaceAll("[^0-9A-Za-z,.\\-#: ]", "")).trim();
    String [] result = data.split(",");
    if (result.length == 19) {
        if ((fname.trim()).equals("")) {
            DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMddHHmmssSSSS");
            Date date = new Date();
            fname = "log_"+dateFormat.format(date)+"_.txt";
        else {
            File outFile = new File("temp\\"+fname);
            //System.out.println("outFile.length(): " + outFile.length());
            // check if file is > filesize
            if (outFile.length() > 200) {
                fdata = fname;
                DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMddHHmmssSSSS");
                Date date = new Date();

            move(fdata);

i think 'SSSS' is fine, because it extends the 'SSS' which is a date placeholder. The files that I try to write to are logs file. I actually having trouble to write it, that's why i need to include the 'SSSS'.If you want each thread to have its own file, 'SSSS' may not be good enough. Java is extremely fast at creating objects, and you could easily have 10 threads competing to write to the same temp file. As I said above, if you don't want this, add the Thread ID to your filename. Remember, just because Java time fields allow milliseconds doesn't mean they provide that accuracy. The clock on my home computer actually ticks over about every 15ms.
That's indeed one of the problem that I'm facing right now. I thought synchronization will take care of this problem.Only if all threads share the same object. As far as I can see, you are synchronizing on a filename created within the thread itself (I'm assuming your original fragment is part of the run() method) so the only synchronization you'd get would be from the I/O itself.
Yes, I am aware of this fact too, once the code is decent, it'll be moved to unix systemEven so, make sure you clean up your files after you're done with them. It seems that this setup has the potential to create thousands of files, and even a Unix filesystem has its limits.
My problem is that: there's a tcp server that listens to clients and receive that from it. The data needs to be inserted to the database. But with the volume of clients that connect to the server at the same time, I was thinking it's better to write it to temp file first (with filesize limitation), then to destination folder. There will be another process whose jobs is to parsing the files and move it into database. OK, so I presume each Thread is listening to output from a specific client, with a time limit for waiting (again, this isn't my forte, but I notice you have a 5 second timeout on the socket).
A few other problems I see with your code:
1. You've given each thread a limit of 200 bytes; on a decent size disk, the blocksize will be 4K (or even 8), which means that even if you write a file of 200 bytes, it will take up 4K on the disk.
2. You create a new File and FileWriter object every time you write a chunk of data, which creates a lot of work for the garbage collector. Create them only when you need to open a new file and simply use them until you want to close it and move it. To facilitate this, pass Files between your methods, not names. In fact, for the write method, you can pass the FileWriter.
3. The regex you use to filter your data includes "\\-#" which is not a valid range. It may well work, but it's always better to put '-' at the end of a metacharacter if it's not part of a range. Also, is a space (' ') the only valid space character you can receive? If, for example, the data could include tabs, you might be better off using '\s' (in the string you'll need "\\s").
A few other suggestions (I'm assuming that all data read from a particular socket before a timeout comes from a single client):
1. Make your size limit much bigger and a multiple of 1000 bytes (this should allow for any extra characters that may be added by the operating system). I'd suggest 4,000.
2. Split the process of reading and writing into two separate threads. Disk I/O is, almost certainly, by far the slowest part of this process and therefore the most likely to block.
One possibility for (2) is to append your validated data lines to a StringBuffer or StringBuilder and, when your size limit has been reached, copy the contents, pass the copy to a new writer thread, clear your buffer, and continue the process.
The advantage of this is that your reader thread will only ever be blocked on input, and each writer thread will have a chunk of data that it knows it can put in one file (and probably directly into the 'inbox' directory).
It still might not be a bad idea to have the "reader" thread create the filenames (don't forget to include the thread ID) and have it keep a "chunk" counter. The filename then becomes date/time plus reader-thread-ID plus chunk#, which ensures they will always be in sequence for your parser.
Your code might then be something like:
public class ReaderThread implements Runnable {
   private static final CHUNK_SIZE = 1000;
   private static final DateFormat dateFormat =
           new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMddHHmmssSSSS");
   private final String timeStamp =
           dateFormat.format(new Date());
   // Give your buffer enough extra capacity to complete a line.
   // (this'll just make it run a bit quicker)
   private Stringbuilder data_chunk = new StringBuilder(CHUNK_SIZE + 100);
   private int chunk_counter = 0;
   public void run() {
      // validate your lines as before, and inside your
      // 'if (result.length == 19)' block...
         data_chunk.append(data);
         if (data_chunk.length() >= CHUNK_SIZE)
            handoff(data_chunk);
      // remove all your filename stuff and the synchronized block
   // this is the method that hands off your data "chunk" to the writer thread
   private void handoff(StringBuilder chunk) {
      StringBuilder chunkCopy = new StringBuilder(chunk);
      String outfile = String.format("%s.%d.%7d",
                  timeStamp, this.getId(), ++chunk_count);
      WriterThread w = new WriterThread(chunkCopy, outfile);
      new Thread(w).start();
      chunk.delete(0, chunk.length());
}This is just a possibility though, and there may be better ways to do it (such as communicating directly with your parser class via a Pipe).
I'll leave it to you to write the WriterThread if you do decide to try it this way.

Code Execution in Cover Flow View and .mov Files

There is a code inside QuickTime movies that gets executed in Cover Flow view in Leopard!!!!!!!!.
I was helping a friend installing Leopard on his machine, and after restarting, I was showing him the new options in the Finder, when a found a bunch of videos (searched on his computer with Spotlight) and switched to 'Cover Flow View', and then Safari started opening web pages from the internet (Mostly adult sites).
After doing some tests I've noticed that the pages load the moment the Finder 'refines' the view of the videos. You know when the Finder first generates a blocky image of the video (some times called proxy image) and then generates a higher or cleaner resolution of that same video.
Not only that, if I resize the window or the preview pane, the code executed again and Safari opened the pages again!!!!
The Finder also executed the code in icon view with the 'Show Icon Preview' option selected in 'View Options' (Command-J).
Opening the videos in QuickTime Player did not trigger the code. But I've noticed that the videos start playing the moment they open. The Inspector (Command-I) didn't show anything unusual. But the Properties window (Command-J in QuickTime Pro) show a "Sprite Track" of Format 'Sprite' but again the different tabs (Annotations, Resources, Visual Settings or Other Settings) didn't show anything unusual.
*CORRECTION: The code also gets executed at the middle of the video when played in QuickTime. So this problem is related to QuickTime.!!!!!!*
The only solution to stop the code execution is to delete the 'Sprite Track'!!!!.
I also opened the movies in TextEdit and found the following text almost at the end of all the weird symbols:
(I'm sorry but the code disappears when I publish this post).
That's one of the pages that Safari was opening.
I don't know where my friend downloaded those videos, but the potential security risk is imminent.
I had the same results even after updating to QuickTime 7.3
I can upload the videos somewhere (at least the 'clean' ones) so you can make you own tests.
Any thoughts or comments?????
Is this a known issue in QuickTime?????
P.S. Once again please excuse my English (my main language is Spanish).

If I'm understanding correctly the "Sprite" is a part of how QuickTime works. In older versions you USED to be able to attach JavaScript to a sprite and do all kinds of useful and fun things. However, some websites used JavaScript to alter themselves, so a well crafted QuickTime movie could be used to deploy code that would alter websites. As a result, a LOT of this functionality was curtailed in later versions and many cool QuickTime functions no longer work.
The few that DO still work are when they are basic hyperlinks that take you to another web page, (Like at the end of this movie, BUT you have to click the link to go
http://www.makentosh.com/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/Entries/2006/3/7Somebody_ToldMe....html
) and others no longer work within the browser (they only work when using the QuickTime player). Give this a try. Use Safari to "Open File..." and open the .mov file. After it's open, see if it generates any other windows from there. If it doesn't, then I'd THINK it's operating as intended BUT it wouldn't hurt to send your feedback here for Apple to look into and/or fix it if necessary.

Working with AVCHD and MOV files

I am just learning on FCP 7 and have very limited experience thus far. I have been using AVCHD files via L&T with no problem and also MOV files simply by importing them. However, when I am using both file types within the same sequence (L&T AVCHD and converting to ProRes and importing MOV), I need to immediately render one of the file types (the one I bring in last). This is also true for any change I make to that particular clip. This would be extremely time inefficient if I were to proceed with this process using several clips from both formats in order to put something together.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions in how I can best work with these two file types and by reducing the rendering time (without compromising quality). Is there a way to convert the MOV files to a ProRes? This doesn't seem to be an option with the L&T feature.
Thanks

Thank you for the reply, David!
Sorry, it is an H.264 codec.
So does this mean that there is really no workaround within FCP to work with the two different formats ....other than rendering each clip I drop into the timeline? I was hoping to avoid having to use another application, but if I really don't have a choice....then perhaps I will try compressor or MPEG streamclip as you suggested. Are there any loss of quality issues when using either of these two programs?
Thank you

H.264 .mov files problem with 2-pass vbr in DVD SP4

I have converted some VHS tapes by connecting the VCR to my camcorder (as a AC/DC bridge) and the camcorder to my macbook pro via firewire, and record using FCP into .mov files.
However, these files are huge (13 GB for an hour), and so I shrinked them down by exporting them (using QT pro) into .mov file via h.264 codec.
However, when I try to convert these already shrinked .mov files into mpeg2 files via compressor 2 (so that I can made a DVD in DVD SP), the files become corrupt when I use 2-pass vbr. (Frame freezes on play back in DVD SP and QT pro). It's OK with 1 pass vbr though.
If I convert those huge .mov files via mpeg4 in QT pro rather than h.264, there is not problem with 2-pass vbr.
So my delemma is: shall I store the files using mpeg4, or h.264?
I am under the impression that h.264 gives a better quality for the same file size than mpeg4, but 2-pass vbr will give a better quality than 1-pass vbr if I want to burn it on a DVD.
Thanks in advance.

In general recompressing from VHS to your computer to H.264 (or MPEG 4) then to m2v is going to hurt quality, so if you are able to get extra Hard Drives and store that way, or even a inexpensive camera with a firewire in/out you are probably better off (though with VHS it may be hard to tell regardless)
Also if you at least go straight the first time to m2v and check to make sure it looks okay to you, you may want to make sure to do that first
That being said, H.264 and One-Pass should in all likelihood (I have not tried recently, did it a while ago just to test things) will be better than MPEG-4 2-Pass, depends on the settings. Also if you try 1-Pass H.264 it seems to work with Compressor.

Opening video and movie files

When I try to open movie or video files text edit opens instead of a media player. I've looked at QuickTime info and it is supposed to support these kind of files. What am I doing wrong or not doing right?

File types are determined by the file extension (characters in the name that appear after the final dot or period, as in .mov) and by file metadata (informations that is either stored in the file or a desktop database). You can change your preference on which files should be opened by which applications with the following steps:
1.) From the Finder, select any example of the file type in question.
2.) Press command-I (or the menu item File -> Get Info).
3.) Mid-way down the Get Info panel look for the "Open With..." pop-up menu.
4.) From that menu select the application you want to use to open the file type selected in step 1.
5.) Select the Change All... button
6.) Confirm your selection.
That should do it. One warning, however, just make certain that the application you choose can really open the file type you selected in step 1. Otherwise, you may have problems when trying to open the document.
