Quick and easy way to encode video files?

With out using another application.

An easy and simple way you can do this is by using Finder. It might not be the best option, depending on what you need but try it out.
Control+Click on the file and select > Encode Selected Video Files
You can choose from 480p, 720p, 1080p, Audio Only, or  Apple ProRes under the Settings drop down menu.
Then choose whether you want to Encode for higher quality or greater compatability.
When you have selected your settings the window will tell you the Format, Resolution, Date rate and what it compatible with. The 480p, 720p and 1080p will use H.264 compression which is highly compressed and probably what you want to choose to compress your file.
After you have selected your settings select the destionation and if you want to delete the source file and click continue.
Done. Easy and simple, done right in finder.

  • Quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?

    Could anyone recommend a quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?

    Depends on your style.
    Reminds me of a story a contractor to an IT department I worked in once told me.
    He used to work in Silicon Valley in the '70s and told a story of a company that
    hired a particular programmer who was brilliant but unstable. They used to set
    up a room with a VT100 and a bottle of Tequila. The programmer would arrive
    and set to work. As the Tequila emptied it was replaced. At some point over
    the following days or weeks a scream would be heard from the room, followed
    by a crash as the VT100 went through the window and the programmer disappeared.
    They would replace the window, the VT100, the Tequila and wait till he came back
    from "walkabout".
    "Extreme Programming" '70s tyle!
    OH&S would never allow this nowadays! That, plus Prozac means these sorts
    of programmers are probably very rare!
    Cheers!

  • A quick and easy way to add genre to songs in a playlist

    I have a 160mb classic ipod and I want to shuffle only a portion of my total library tracks. I am thinking the best way to do this is to use the Smart Playlist function and shuffle by genre. But if I do that I want to change the genre label or add one to many of my 4000 songs. Is there anyway to do this easily? I tried to select every song in a playlist and right click and use Apply Sort Field, but unfortunately genre is not one of these fields! Any idea?
    Or (although this may be the wrong forum), is the any way, short of making one gigantic playlist, to get my iPod to shuffle among just certain playlists?

    The only way to add to files to a playlist on the player itself is to put them in the queue, then save the queue as a playlist.

  • Is there a quick and easy way to reorder de-interleaved data?

    I am collecting 5 channels of data through a DMA FIFO by interleaving, then recording to a TDMS file. When I check it, it's in mostly good order, but there are certain points where the channels get switched. For example, the Channel order when I open the file is 1 2 3 4 5, as expected, for several thousand elements. But at some point, it gets shifted to 4 5 1 2 3, and later 2 3 4 5 1. Left-to-right, they are always ordered correctly, so it's easy to reorder them, but very tedious with millions of elements. I have attached some sample data. I'm looking for A) a way to prevent this or B) some kind of sorting tool or script in LabVIEW or DIAdem that may sort it for me. I'll work on a sorting script in the meantime. 
    I am using LabVIEW 2011 Real-time and FPGA 2011, and the standard TDMS open and write functions. I also have access to DIAdem. 
    Solved!

    Sorry for the slow response - 
    I've looked at everything, and so far I can't identify the problem. I believe my code is consistent with the producer-consumer architecture. 
    On the real-time side, I am reading data from the FIFO and writing to the TDMS in the same loop.
    On the FPGA side, analog channels are read, converted to the same fixed-point format with a time stamp in a single-cycle timed loop, and then ordered into the FIFO in a for loop. I have posted the relevant parts below.
    I am using C-series modules in a CompactRIO.

  • Is There A Quick And Easy Way Of Avoiding "Stepped" Edges (Aliasing)?

    I am using Compresor 3.0.3 to encode HDV projects to SD DVD.
    I originally tried Exporting QuickTime Movies from FCP but discovered there was terrible shimmering on straight edges and severe judder when panning or if someone walked across the frame.
    Using the "DVD Best Quality 90 minutes" setting smoothed out all the above problems.
    Unfortunately it left noticeable stepping or aliasing on diagonal sharp lines !
    This is much less of a problem than the judder but if possible I would like to get rid of it.
    I have read up about the Bonsai method, but the processing times involved are enormous and not warranted by the slightness of the problem.
    I have also seen an anti-alias slider in Compressor but when I used it the processing slowed almost to a halt. Maybe I was operating it incorrectly ?
    Is there a quick way to get rid of the stepped edges, or is it something everyone has to live with when converting HDV to SD DVD ?
    Ian.

    Yes it's all PAL Kyle. The problem isn't just mine though. It seems to be par for the course. From what I have read, the Bonsai method was devised to overcome it but the actual problem is really so slight, that for amateur work the cure is a bit over the top.
    http://www3.telus.net/bonsai/Step-by-Step.html
    It's too darned hot Luca ! Especially at night.
    Your process seems a bit like the Bonsai method and I'm beginning to think that I might be exaggerating the problem in my mind.
    The aggravating thing is that when I did a straight Export>To QT Movie, although I got terrible judder, there was almost no sign of aliasing ......... which is why I felt there should be a simple solution.
    I'll just have to pray that they bring the prices of Blu-ray down rapidly, so there will be no need to use standard def.
    I am going to experiment with shooting 25PF tomorrow to see if that helps ........ or not.

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Easy way to unzip zipped files?

    I'm trying to figure out an easy way to unzip zipped files.  I'm using C# in VS 4.5.
    I download this:
    http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/
    I couldn't get any dlls installed.  I couldn't set any reference to anything.
    I also tried to follow the example here:
    http://www.danderson.me/posts/zipfile-class-system-io-compression-filesystem/
    I can't find anything titled 'System.IO.Compression.dll'.  I set a reference to these two:
    System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
    System.IO.Compression
    That did nothing at all.
    For instance, I think this should work:
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.IO.Compression;
    namespace ConsoleApplication
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string startPath = @"c:\example\start";
    string zipPath = @"c:\example\result.zip";
    string extractPath = @"c:\example\extract";
    ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath);
    ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
    However, i keep getting an error message that says 'The name 'ZipFile' does not exist in the current context'.
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Hi
    Please include the below namespace and try it out.
    System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
    The code would be like this.
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    namespace ConsoleApplication
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string startPath = @"c:\example\start";
    string zipPath = @"c:\example\result.zip";
    string extractPath = @"c:\example\extract";
    System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath);
    System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
    Please note that you need to add a DLL reference to the framework assembly
    System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll
    Please let me know in case of any questions you may have around this. Thank you. 

  • Encode Video Files not working for avi files

    Hi,
    I've been trying to convert some .avi files to apple format using Lion's native 'Encode video files' function however keep getting a 'avconvert: source file not found for source file://fileparthhere avconvert: failed to create an export session. Check setup
    I can't work out why as this has worked before in Lion and works fine for other video formats. The only thing I've done is remove Final Cut Express HD and can't add it again as I don't own it anymore
    Suggestions? Is there a encoder to make this work or should it work anyway?
    Thanks

    If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
    Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
    Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

  • E1200 and "Quick and Easy Setup"

    My parents were trying to setup their E1200 router. We had to do a reset (using the button) since we couldn't access the router admin menu (someone had hacked/changed the password). I'm doing this remotely over the phone.
    Now, when they open Internet Explorer, they are getting a"Linksys Quick and Easy Setup" screen no matter what web site they try to get to. They don't have access to the original CD to install Linksys Connect. Mom says that when she clicks on "No CD? Download the software" link, nothing happens. Looks like she's got internet, though, as there's a link to the Linksys forums, and she's seeing updates from the forums."
    I don't know what this screen looks like, but isn't there some way to get past this splash screen? The computer is plugged into the router via a cable, so I'm not sure why they can't access the internet manually. Is there a way to just "disable" the "Quick and Very So Not Easy Setup" and skip right to using the internet?
    Thanks.

    Hi dapupster. I suggest that you let your parents do another reset. Tell them to make sure that they press down the reset button that's underneath the device ( please check the  picture). Let them press it down for 30 seconds while the device is powered on.  Once done, let them unplug the unit, plug it back in and try to access the setup page manually through 192.168.1.1.
    If the challenge remains the same, let them unplug the router from the modem and have them access the 192.168.1.1 page with only the computer that's connected to the router.  Hope the suggestions help.

  • Is It Possible to Clone RAID Array in a Safe and Easy Way?

    Why do computer users need to clone RAID array, especially Windows Server users need to do RAID cloning? Generally speaking, they need to clone RAID array regularly in order to upgrade disk or migrate data from small disk to a larger one. A typical
    example is that when the partitions on the hardware RAID runs out of space, you may prefer to rebuild the hardware RAID with larger hard disks. Then, you need to backup the data to another place, rebuild the hardware RAID and restore data again.
    What a time-consuming task!
    Is it possible to clone RAID array in a safe and easy way? The answer is yes and this article will introduce a RAID cloning software.

    Hi jiangchunli,
    Were you looking to post this question in some other forum? This looks like related to RAID and Disk upgrades.

  • HT1386 simple and easy way to sync my contacts from iPhone 3gs to Macbook Pro that both my partner and I use. Have tried with photos and and only 350 of 3,500 items have synced. Remember simple and easy, I'm still learning-slowly.

    Simple and EASY way to sync contacts from 3gs iPhone to MacBook Pro. Partner and I both use macBook. I have tried and get a message that only 350 of 3,500 item have syncd- all photos. I'm still learning and am very afraid of doing something that will wipe out all info,contacts and photos. Entering this site, the account shows my partners name, but accepts my other information.

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Is there any quick and dirty way to determine what something will look like

    Hi,
    Is there any way (rule of thumb) to determine what something will look like when printed.
    for example.
    I am doing a composite (hope this is the right word). It will have some people sitting at a table and I want to have another layer with another picture behind it.
    I plan for the output to be fairly small (print size), say 4 x 5 or whatever.
    Now, if I go to the internet and google (or mamma.com) and search for images (large) and it comes back to me, I will see pictures that are (for example) 800 x 526 pixels 367 kb, or 940 x 480 pixels 166 kb.
    I would have to assume the 367 kb will print at better resolution, but if i liked the 166 kb picture better, is there a quick and dirty way to determine if it would print better (say 250 or 300 dpi or whatever) or not?
    So, bottome line,
    Assume my output picture will be 4 x 5 (and I want 300dpi (or is it ppi)
    How do quickly look at google results and determing if they will print ok?
