Question about making a project backup with Media Manager

I have several projects that I am working on right now. I'd like to make a backup of these projects and burn them to DVDs. The question I have is when I select "copy" with Media Manager it shows me how much space the backup will be. Without selecting the render files each of my projects would fit a a single DVD. If I don't include render files can they easily be recreated by just re-rendering the backup project?
Thanks!

Backing up a project file takes very little space. Backing up the media associated with that project can take up a tremendous amount of space. By using Media Manager, I assume that you want to back up (copy) the media ... correct?
Do you only have 4.3gb of media used in the project you want to back up? That's all the data a DVD disc will hold.

FCP 7 sequence not transfering to external hard drive with media manager

Ok so heres the problem. I started making a bunch of webisodes and after I got through editing and finishing the first two on my computer, I realized while I was working on the third one I would need to transfer my workflow to an external hard drive.
My goal was to transfer all the projects individualy with media manager to a 1.5tb external hard drive I just purchased and then delete all the projects and associated files off my computer. Then set the new scratch bin to the hard drive and continue working on the third episode from the hard drive.
However, thank god when I used media manager I said "copy" the files. I opened the project I had copied in the hard drive to see if it was all there and there was no sequence with all my editing! I'm not sure why it didn't import the sequence. All the clips are still I the project tab.
Can anybody help? Am I doing this right?
Thanks!

The information for the Sequence is contained in the .fcp project file that should be in the same folder as your Media Managed clips. Double click it to open the new version.

Trying to consolidate project with Media Manager but it's not working

I have a 3 minute final video that I want to consolidate with media manager. I would like to have it copy the portion of the clips I used plus 1 second handles. I have checked every appropriate box but it still will not create smaller clips. For example I have a 5 GB movie clip that I used about 4 seconds of in my final edit. Final Cut is still copying over the whole file into the new folder instead of just extracting the portion I used plus the handle. I have deselected the box referring to include master clips outside of selection.
I have gotten this to work before, is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Robert,
Media Manager has a few quarks (you've no doubt noticed!). The two biggest that I've noticed are:
CUTS MADE IN TIMELINE OF SEQUENCE
Once a larger clip is loaded into a sequence, and cuts are made to it within the sequence Media Manager loses track of the the missing middle parts. For instance if you load an hour long clip into a sequence. Make a cut at 5 minutes and a cut at 55 minutes, then delete the middle 50 minutes and slide the two cuts together; Media Manager should represent that only 10 minutes would be retained when "deleted unused media is selected." Instead, it will think the entire cut is still being used.
*To solve this: "Select All" cuts in the sequence, then right click and select "Make Clip Independent"*
CUTS WITH SPEED CHANGES
The other issue with Media Manager, cuts that have speed changes (anything other 100%) may not reconnect correctly in the new consolidated sequence. This has been a long time problem and has gotten much better in version 6. However, it still has some weirdness...
*To solve this: "Make sure you add some amount of handle. I use 1 sec and it seems to work on larger complex projects."*
Hope that helps. Good luck.

A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

Hi,
I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
-- Commands to re-create incarnation table
-- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
-- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
-- re-create incarnation records.
-- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
-- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
-- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
RECOVER DATABASE
-- Database can now be opened normally.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
thanks

Hi Everyone Im New, Got Question About Upgrading MSI GT60 0ND With SSD

Hi Everyone I'm New, Got Question About Upgrading MSI GT60 0ND With SSD.
:welcome:So As I've stated I'm new here, or at least got a new MSI notebook.
Ive got the new MSI gt60 0ND with 750GB HD and 675 Ge-Force GTX , anyways to the bottom line.
I would like to Upgrade my computer with SSD that I bought and install the win8 on it, in order to speed things up, but I have encountered a few problems..
1. there is no sticker on the back of the computer that gives information about the serial number of my windows 8...
2. lets say in some magical way I could get the serial number out, can I use it to reinstall ? because Ive heard that you cannot use this CD key anyways unless you got a special win8 installation CD key from MSI because its MSI branded windows 8.
am I screwed ? ?? ? I thought it is possible to upgrade with SSD but it seems like MSI made it very hard, I do not understand why they even putted the warranty void sticker on the expansion bay's .... WEIRD..
Please help !! Thanks in advance,
David

Scheduled backups with Enterprise Manager

Hi all,
I have shceduled a full backup with Entreprise Manager 10g. Previusly I went to Backup settings and I have specified the path. The test executed sucssesfully.
Then, once the backup was executed, it fails, but I can see any log from the Enterprise Manager on Backup Reports. Does somene know where I can find the backup logs?
Thanks in advance!
Víctor.

When u r using oracle EM to schedule the backup it is actually using RMAN at the backend so you should provide the location of the backup log file aswell, only then it will generate the log file.
The following are the command line RMAN parameters in which log is one of them,
target
catalog
nocatalog
cmdfile
LOG
trace
append
debug
msgno
send
pipe
timeout

Question about using an incremental backup to update a standby

We have a 2TB Oracle 10g database with a standby and the application that uses it is about to be updated. We're using cumulative incremental backups with block change tracking to back it up with weekly level 0 backups. The application upgrade will be making a lot of changes (several hundred GB) and we have stop the standby during the upgrade process as a quick way to get back (we don't have the space for a flashback recovery) in the event that there are issues with the upgrade. We can just let the archivelogs back up and get them over to the standby and applied once they decide they like the upgrade but, it looks like it would be simpler and perhaps quicker to use an incremental backup to update the standby. I probably won't but, If we do that, it looks like we can turn off archivelogs in the primary and not deal with them at all. I've never tried this but, I do have some questions.
Does it make sense to take this approach?
If we were to turn off archivelogs in the primary, would that have any effect on block change tracking? I don't see why it would but, had to ask. Of course, we would turn archivelogs back on and take a level 1 backup after the upgrade.
Thanks in advance for the education.

Funny you should mention that rolling upgrade, I'm actually planning to do that in another environment. My testing says it works pretty well and I'll be able to move a 400GB database to new hardware and upgrade it to 11g with very little downtime. However, in this case, the database is not being upgraded. The application is. It's just that, as part of that upgrade, there are a lot of updates and I'd just as soon not deal with the archivelogs for that. Here's what I was thinking about:
Set logs shipping to defer in the primary.
Stop log apply in the standby.
Turn off archivelogs in the primary.
Do the application update.
If they like the results, turn archivelogs back on in the primary.
Take an rman incremental backup from scn in the primary.
Apply the incremental backup to the standby.
Start log log apply in the standby.
Start log shipping in the primary.
The process for getting and using the incremental is described here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb.htm#BGBCEBJG
This isn't your regular incremental backup.
So, am I the only crazy one? Has anyone else tried this?

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Creating a new project with media manager

This one should be obvious but I can't quite figure it out: I used media manager to recompress my project into a smaller one. Media manager did a nice job with that and placed all the files into a new folder BUT - where is the actual project file?? If I use the actual fcp project file from the original- the settings are all different and it told me that some media files are missing or too short. Doesn't media manager create a new project file that works with the new recompressed files that it just created??

BUT - where is the actual project file??
When you have decided on the settings in Media Manager and then tell it to do the job, the first thing you see is a dialog asking where to save the project file. Use Spotlight to search for it.
If that doesn't turn anything up, start MM again, it might have remembered the last Save location.

Questions about VK34 (create condition record with reference)

Hi experts,
When clicking the botton "copy condition" via VK34, an error message pops up. It says the error is due to no definition of select rule. I use the standard condition record PR00.
Q1: How to define "select rule"?
Q2: Any chances to download condition record when using VK13 or VK33?

Hello Colleague.
This Unicode problem occurs mainly with pricing reports (recognized by report names that start with /1SDBF12L/RV14AK).
To regenerate these, call transaction V/LE or use transaction SE38 to execute the report RV14ALLE.
Leave the selection screen empty and execute (F8).
See SAP note 497850.
If you have further questions about the generation in the condition maintenance, I recommend to read Note 886771.
I hope it can help you.

Problem With Newly Downloaded Desktop Manager Multi-Language v.4.6.0 With Media Manager

I just updated my desktop manager software this afternoon with the newer version that's in my subject line. The backup/restore feature works fine, but when I try to open the media manager, it opens, says no device is connected (when it is), and then gives me a pop-up message saying that an error has occurred (doesn't say what error specifically), and that the program needs to be restarted. I have tried it numerous times, and it always gives the same error message. Any ideas?
FYI, I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130, and am on the Verizon network.
