Question: What about Media Manager?

Is there any equivalent to Media Manager in FCPX? What we had wasn't perfect, but was incredibly useful.

So in other words, No. There's no way to trim unused media while copyng, no way to recompress the media copied to a different codec during the xfer, no way to add handles to media copies - none of the good functionality available in FCP 7. Media management is completely essential to any editing app, and FCPX doesn't have any.

What is media management software?

Hi all,
I am new to RMAN and I am a bit confuse about media management software that is required to backup to tape. What is it exactly? Is it a backup software like Veritas Backup Exec? Does Oracle provide the media management software on Oracle 9i? Is the integrated backup apps in w2k system tools can be used with RMAN to backup to tape? I am planning to buy HP surestore 8i.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
From my own personal experience, I suggest you also look at Bakbone's NetVault software: good quality, easy to use. (http://www.bakbone.com/products/downloads.asp) But, yes, media management software is 3rd party software to control tape libraries such as your HP Surestor 8i.
Rgds,

Did Verizon lie about Media Manager?

About a month ago I was told by a Verizon agent that Media Manager would still work and I could continue to use it after it was "retired" on Nov. 1 (as long as I had a working copy of the software on my computer) and that it would be replaced by another app by the end of the year.
Today I've discovered that the Media Manager link has disappeared from the STB menu, which for practical purposes means I can not use it now. A confusing message from Verizon also announced that customers should switch to the "new" FiOS Mobile app available Nov. 29 (so what are we supposed to do to stream music, etc. for the next 28 days?) while at the same time inviting customers to try it out now. This message also mentions that the new FiOS Mobile app will have "many" of the features Media Manager used to have, but is vague about just what those will be. However, if the new mobile app is like the old mobile app, you will need a smart phone to use it, so if you were using Media Manager but don't have a smart phone, are you out of luck?

I don't understand what's going on with Verizon and FiOS when it comes to how customers are treated. I remember when FiOS started up, the Verizon exec in charge of FiOS purposely set up FiOS customer service so it was a separate entity from Verizon's customer service. He realized that for FiOS to succeed, poor customer service couldn't be tolerated. As an example, the main reason I switched to FiOS from Comcast was Comcast's truly horrible customer service and putting up with too many inept service techs. My earlier experiences with FiOS customer service were so much better. But now, FiOS customer service seems increasingly tone deaf to its customers. Case in point, customers that were using Media Manager have been screwed by Verizon when it "retired" Media Manager, not even allowing those customers it was working for to be able to access it, and not replacing it with any alternative. Then, when customers complain, Verizon has nothing to say (and I know Verizon reps monitor this forum).
Maybe that's why the cable TV business had its worst year ever. According to Wall Street media analysts Craig Moffett and Michael Nathanson, providers of TV, broadband, and phone communications lost 687,000 subscribers during Q3. Screwing customers is a bad business model.

I can't use my media manager

I've tried installing the verizon media manager (vmm) software on my pc several times. I attempted to contact verizon about my issues, but they seemed not to know what the media manager feature was let alone have and solutions on how to fix it. I have also changed different configurations on my computer to see if there were any conflicts i.e. turning off firewall settings and UAC, and deleting real player and quicktime. I'm just getting irritated and I don't know what to do.
The message I get while installing VMM is the media manager installation was interupted before it completed.
I'm wondering if any one knows the solution?
Thank you

Sorry that I cannot help you, but I just installed it two days ago on my Vista pc. I did not have any problems. Try right clicking on the file and select "Run as Administrator".

Do you have a secondary router between your computer and the Verizon router? This maybe a stupid question but was media manager running on the computer when you tried to access it from the TV?

What about Director 12?

Hi everybody
This maybe is a silly question: What about Director 12? Any
news?

While I agree that it is a great improvement that Adobe is at
least actively working on Director the lack of any information
about their roadmap for the product is bewildering and
counterproductive. We all understand that they do not want to
promise specific features and functionality but a general idea on
improvements and direction will help us in decisions of technology
expertise. Also we (developers) are responsible to our clients to
provide good advice and proper choices on the development platforms
we propose for today and tomorrow. It is also hard to believe that
Adobe will continue development of Director unless it attracts new
developers. Director has been in the shadows for very long and I
have not seen any effort to shine some light into it.
As for "www.adobedirectoronline.com" - is a good effort that
added some material initially when it launched but it also sits
idle for long periods of time. There are many resources/web sites
devoted to director with useful tutorials, samples etc that are run
by members of the great director community. What worries me is
(what I perceive as) the lack of effort from Adobe itself in
keeping developers informed and involved.

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.

HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Some questions about Skype Manager and Skype Conne...

Hallo,
I found one of your post:
That, if I have some questions I may contact with Contact our solutions team
Sadly that link wont work...
I have few questions and also I contacted with Microsoft support, but sadly they wasn’t able to help me. Only what they suggests, that I may contact with Skype Team trough to Forum, or Facebook...
So, I choose first one and maybe you can help me, or redirect my question !?
About my questions:
As I understand Skype for business is just name what contain two free software, like Skype manager and Skype connect. Also those are free, without charge ?
Also I read that there are two different accounts, like Premium and regular one. Premium contains some benefit. So, If I use that Skype for business manager system to I may or can add some premium accounts for some my staff and leave others with regular account ? I don’t have that manager systems installed jet, but what I read, I understand that I maybe just split credit - or is there way how I may also share regular and premium conots ?
Also, Right now my customers have 25 workers, but what - if soon my another customer also want to use Skype Service, and he have 50 - 100 workers ? Will be there special price for different amount of users on one firm ?
And at last, firm who I represent right now are using Elion VoiP (Elion, is Estonian ISP) service, trough to xLite program.
Sadly that one wont work properly, it will hack, or you cant hear other people and so on. With, Skype everything works fine. So, if he will starting to use Skype manger and will make account for every workers (sips) can he bound those sips with same VoiP numbers what he will use right now with Elion ? Or if not, is there some way how to redirect those numbers (to lose those numbers, is sadly out of question) ?
I hope, you can help me guy´s.
Best regards
Rainer

Tere Rainer,
indeed we don't have the solutions team offer any longer. Let me try to answer some of your questions here.
Skype Manager and Skype Connect itself are free of charge. But obviously you can purchase and distribute paid products via Skype Manager.
Yes, you can freely distribute Premium subscription to Manager group members and leave others without. You can do the same with all kind of Skype products, e.g. Skype numbers, calling subscriptions etc.
There are no discounts with Skype Manager purchases. It's a tool to simplify administration.
Unfortunately you cannot transfer numbers to Skype connect. For more details on which features are supported and how they work please have a look here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10549/what-is-skype-connect-and-how-does-it-work
I hope my answers could help a bit already.

Question About "Manually Manage Music and Videos"

Hi!
I have a podcast stuck on my iPod. It is not deleted from a Playlist upon syncing, even though I've deleted it from the Playlist in iTunes. It still shows up in the "On My Device" representation of the Playlist, and of course, on the iPod itself. So I thought to manually delete it, but of course it's name is obfuscated in the iPod's directory. So I thought that maybe I could do it by selecting "manually manage music and videos" in iTunes. Presumably files would become human readable then, yes?
Here's my question: What will happen to all the content already on my iPod via syncing if I check that box? Will it all (all 140 GB) disappear and have to be re-synced? Or can I check that box, go in and delete the one podcast, then uncheck the box, all without affecting the rest of the content already on the device?
TIA for your help!

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

Media Manager: What features do work? What doesn't?

Hi,
For those people for whom the media manager works, what works? What doesn't? What version of FCP and MacOS are you using?
I've just spent the last several hours trying to reconnect clips by hand after FCP 5.0.4 crashed while using the Media Manager to consolidate Media Files into one folder (from the manual volume 4 pg 104-105) for archiving. I am beginning to despair. Luckily I've done this after writing out what should be the final version of my project to DVD, so if I can't succeed, as long as I don't need to edit anything I should be ok.
I can tell you what's not working for me: the workflow of capture-now an entire miniDV tape to disk. I've tried many different approaches, and everything seems broken. I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9 and FCP 5.0.4.
Specifically the aspects of Media Manager which are broken for me:
1) (page 103) Removing Portions of Media Files after creating subclips. "A common logging and capturing workflow involves capturing each tape to a single media file, breaking the master clip into subclips, and then using the Media Manager to create individual media files for each subclip."
That is just plain broken. Even when I delete the master file as recommended, it does not break up the media file into individual files for the subclips. I've seen that problem referenced here before. Creating subclips from the subclips and removing subclip limits gives me the entire 1 hr tape again, when all I want is the smaller portion which does not cross DV start/stop boundaries.
Talking with a creative helper at the Palo Alto Apple store I learned that if you don't delete any media between clips, it doesn't make a file break. I have not tested that, instead I used the alternate workflow he proposed of selecting my subclips (created from the markers made with DV start/stop detect) ctrl-click -> batch export, item settings: make movie self contained. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that that workflow introduces errors in the time code, making recapturing the project to reconstruct it impossible.
2) Consolidating Media Files into one folder (pg 104-105) - This is also broken and caused FCP to quit unexpectedly. Both the source and destination disk had enough disk space to hold two or more copies of the entire project. What's worse, although I've been able to reconnect most of the clips created using the batch export process menioned above, some of them complain that they need the complete 1-hr clip to play properly. Those clips were deleted weeks ago, and I was able to edit and work on the project successfully without them. Why are they needed now? The small clips do appear on disk, I can see them but they won't play without the long file.
Nothing I've tried with the media manager has worked. Has anything worked for you? I'm especially interested if you use the "capture now" feature to capture 1-hr tapes and log later.
Thanks,

I use MM all the time, but only for certain things. I can share some observations:
If you are using MM to "Create Offline - Remove Unused", the original media all needs to be present in order for the unused media to be removed from the offline clips MM creates. This is they way I use MM all the time - capturing long clips at RT or DV quality, and then removing unused media with MM, recapturing at high quality.
I might try to use MM to copy media used in a certain sequence, but I would never try to move the media in a way that would automatically remove or alter any of my already captured media. If FCP crashed in the middle of the operation (perhaps it hits a file with incorrect permissions) your media will be half-moved, and some of the media might get corrupted. I have reassembled a few projects like this for friends and it was not easy.
Speed adjusted clips - I still see TC issues every now and then when using MM on speed-adjusted clips - here is my workaround: I go through my edited sequence and pick out as many of the speed-adjusted clips as I can find, copying and pasting them into a new sequence, where I remove the speed adjustments. I include this new sequence in my selection when I initiate MM, this creates new master clips for the speed-adjusted material that are guaranteed to come up with the correct in and out points. If during my re-assembly I find that and of these clips have a problem, I know there will be enough media in the master clip to replace the speed-adjusted media without having to log and capture a new clip.
One major bug in MM I have found with FCP5 is that when using MM to convert a DV sequence to an Uncompressed offline sequence, any graphics or animation movie files (animation codec) can no longer be rendered at full quality without replacing them one by one. My last project had 70 of these files in a 1-hour program.

What ports do I open for Media Manager?

I'm having trouble getting my Media Manager files seen by my DVRs (QIP-7232s). I have enabled such services that allow me to remotely admin my DVRs from the web, so I know they can be seen on the network. But I cannot get them to see the MM server running on my network.
I have a second router between my ActionTec and my XP Pro (32 b) server running Media Manager and holding all my video files. This is the routher that serves the IP addresses for my network.
Installing Media Manager seemed to go well. No errors.
However, none of my DVRs can locate the Media Manager and the contained files. I suspect I need to open a port or two on the 2nd router to allow the Verizon MoCA router access to the MM application.
Does any one know what ports I need to open?

Wow, this makes me want to pull my hair out..
It shouldn't be this difficult
I think I'm going to remove my router and just go with the ActionTec.
When I have more time (and patience) I'll go back into the world of port fowarding.
Thanks!

What is the problem with Roxio Media Manager??

I purchased my first Blackberry 8310 Curve on Black Friday. For some reason the Blackberry Desktop Manager installs and works absolutely fine. However when I open the media manager from Roxio the screen freezes and it doesn't even show my device. I have uninstalled cleanly and re-installed over a dozen times and can't get it to work. We also went and bought an updated graphics and sound card and have installed them. The Roxio media manager STILL freezes up and we have to shut it down.
I do a lot of Paintshop Pro and have those programs as well as other graphics software. I'm wondering if it is a software conflict? I don't see one. Or if the Roxio is a POS as someone posted before.
I have spent hours and hours reading everything I can online about it and can not find an answer anywhere. The main reason that I want the Media Manager is that I want to make my own ringtones....that's it! The rest I can do without it. Does the BB media manager have the capability to make ringtones?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Roxio Media Manager won't run and get error messge about C+++

Error message says Media Manager has requested Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact suport team. I wrote to Roxio about it and supplied screen shots of the message and their response was to contact RIM. Typical run around. Same problem on a different computer where I had a working version of BB Desktop Manager and then installed the new 4.7 and started to get the same problem. Would seem this is a RIM problem. Anyone else out there that knows anything about this error or how to get past it?
