Reason for inconsistent importing

I am hoping someone can offer an explanation for why iMove '08 might import one of five events in a different way than it does four others, when an identical procedure was followed in each case.
MY GOAL: Transfer five music videos, created in Final Cut Pro and archived on digital tape, to my iPhone.
MY METHOD: When the Import window of iMovie opened, I selected 'Manual', started the camera, clicked 'Import' at the start of a music video then 'Stop' at the end of that video. iMovie created an event with one clip containing multiple thumbnails all tightly connected. By selecting the first and last thumbnails, I was able to select the entire clip and drop it in the project pane, where it again appeared as a single long clip that played back flawlessly. I repeated this for the four other videos.
THE PROBLEM: The last music video appeared in the Events pane as multiple unconnected clips in random sequence. I dragged the clips individually into the Project pane, putting them in sequence as I went. When played back, though, the soundtrack skips as the playhead jumps from one clip to the next.
QUESTION: What information could iMovie be getting off the digital tape, that makes the capture of the fifth video so different? Can anyone suggest a work-around. The problem video was captured from the same digital tape as two of the other videos that worked fine.
Thanks very much,
Dave D.

I don't know for sure so this is a guess that may lead you in the right direction.
If you create a movie from a timeline in DV stream and write out to tape, it may preserve the metadata of the individual clips that make up the timeline. These may be in a different order than the date they were filmed. When imported into iMovie, they would be in the order they were filmed based on the underlying metadata.
Now it seems to me that if some if your videos were rendered to a .dv file or to a .mov file as an intermediate step, and then written out to tape later, then the file on tape would have the metadata of the date it was rendered, and might be in long clips.

  • Possible reasons for BCP import failure? [Unable to open BCP host data-file]

    Hi,
    I have inherited a process where a bunch of tables are being prepared locally with python and puched to a database. It fails and I don't know why, though my first thought is access rights. I have admin access to the database (and server?) using SQL server
    authorisation. Here is an example BCP command being churned out by the python script:
    bcp "[TEST].[dbo].[ISP_2014_flat]" in "flat_files/ISP_2014_201504011504.csv" -U admin -P XXX! -c -t ^ -S "xxx20039999\DZUHE00999,2311"
    SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Unable to open BCP host data-file
    What can I check that might be responsible for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Below are points that you can consider:
    I don't think you need double quotes (") around the table and filename.
    If the file is on shared folder, provide the UNC path like
    \\server\folder\file.csv and even if it is in local try providing full path
    Make sure the file is not opened by someone (if it exists already)
    If it works from SSMS and doesn't work if run via SQL Agent then Agent account must have access to the file
    You can see few examples given in BCP Utility and also you may give try using BULK INSERT too

    How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

    If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes?  If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • What are the reasons for disabling the saving of data in a PDF?

    I seem to have had more than my share of encounters lately with PDF files that have editable fields but have their data saving capability disabled.
    In some of these situations this has been an absolutely maddening inconvenience.
    When I attempt to bring this to the attention of whomever's responsible I get brushed off.
    One person's response was: Actually the majority of the PDF forms I have are Adobe reader and you cannot make changes electronically at all.  The reason for this is to make sure that the documents are not altered in any way.  The <companies creating the PDFs> must make sure that changes are not being made to their forms. 
    I just don't understand that.  How is entering and saving data 'altering' a PDF?
    Is this just bone-headed bureacracy, an urban legend, or is there some fundamental practical matter I am not aware of?

    Saving a filled-in form has always been disallowed with Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader. Though there are a few exceptions...
    History lesson:
    Forms features were first introduced in Acrobat 3. As you might imagine, a number of folks wanted to be able to save filled-in forms using Acrobat Reader. Since this functionality simply was not a feature of Reader, it was not possible. If you wanted to save a filled-in form, you needed to use Acrobat (Exchange).
    Upon recognizing the potential market for a product that they could sell, Adobe developed and released Acrobat Business Tools, which was a version 4 product. It was positioned between Reader and Acrobat, was reasonably priced, and allowed users to save filled-in forms, apply digital signatures, and add comments. Unfortunately, this was marketed poorly and did not achieve commercial success.
    The next iteration was a similar product named Acrobat Approval, which was a version 5 product. It too could save a filled-in form, but was in some ways more limited than Business Tools, and suffered a similar fate. That is, it was not a market success. It was however distributed for free to US taxpayers on the IRS tax products CD-ROM.
    The next idea from Adobe - which was a good one - was to provide for a means of embedding usage rights in a PDF document. These rights would allow Reader to do things it normally would not be able to do, such as saving a filled-in form, adding comments, importing/exporting form data, creating new pages using templates, connecting to databases and web services, etc. At first, the only way to enable these usage rights was with an expensive product from Adobe, so the potential was initially not realized.
    With the release of Acrobat 7, Acrobat users were able to add some usage rights, such as commenting. While this was a welcome addition, folks still wanted to be enable forms to be saved with Reader. Finally with the release of Acrobat 8 Pro, users were able to enable forms to be saved with Reader, but it came with licensing restrictions. In short, if the licensee distributed the form for more than 500 recipients, the licensee could use data from no more that 500 copies of a particular form that was returned to them, including hardcopies. This was great for forms used inside of an orginization, but not so great for forms that needed to be used by the general public. Still, it was a very useful feature for a majority of businesses for internal forms, the vast majority of which have fewer than 500 employees.
    Acrobat 9 or 10 didn't change things. Adobe still wants to capitalize on this market, which certainly is not a bad thing for Adobe and their stockholders. The US IRS forms have long been saveable with Reader because they licence Adobe Reader Extensions, which provides revenue for Adobe.
    Note that some third-party PDF viewers allow users to save filled-in forms whether or not the documents have usage rights. Such software has a different marketing model than does Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and rides the coattails of Adobe by taking advantage of the popularity of PDF forms.

  • Regarding Distribution Monitor for export/import

    Hi,
    We are planning to migrate the 1.2TB of database from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB7.7 . We are currently testing the database migration on test system for 1.2TB of data. First we tried with just simple export/import i.e. without distribution monitor we were able to export the database in 16hrs but import was running for more than 88hrs so we aborted the import process. And later we found that we can use distribution monitor and distribute the export/import load on multiple systems so that import will get complete within resonable time. We used 2 application server for export /import but export completed within 14hrs but here again import was running more than 80hrs so we aborted the import process. We also done table splitting for big tables but no luck. And 8 parallel process was running on each servers i.e. one CI and 2 App servers. We followed the document DistributionMonitorUserGuide from SAP. I observerd that  on central system CPU and Memory was utilizing above 94%. But on 2 application server which we added on that servers the  CPU and Memory utilization was very low i.e. 10%. Please find the system configuration as below,
    Central Instance - 8CPU (550Mhz) 32GB RAM
    App Server1 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
    App Server2 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
    And also when i used top unix command on APP servers i was able to see only one R3load process to be in run state and all other 7 R3load  process was in sleep state. But on central instance all 8 R3load process was in run state. I think as on APP servers all the 8 R3load process was not running add a time that could be the reason for very slow import.
    Please can someone let me know how to improve the import time. And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Narendra

    R3load connects directly to the database and loads the data. The quesiton is here: how is your database configured (in sense of caches and memory)?
    > And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
    There are no such documents available since the process of migration to another database is called "heterogeneous system copy". This process requires a certified migration consultant ot be on-site to do/assist the migraiton. Those consultants are trained specially for certain databases and know tips and tricks how to improve the migration time.

    For MaxDB there's a special service available, see

  • Combining Text in Automator for Excel import.

    I'm attempting to create an automator workflow that will string some text together so that it can be imported into an Excel worksheet. Here's my workflow so far.
    • New Text File
    Creates file temp.txt
    • Run AppleScript
    Opens file temp.txt
    • Get Specified Text (specified text below)
    Read Today
    Read Tomorrow
    Read This Week
    Read This Month
    • Filter Paragraphs (needed so the text is not treated as one big line of text and is displayed in the next step correctly)
    Return Paragraphs that are not empty
    • Choose from List (all 4 items displayed correctly, all selected by default)
    Select one item
    • Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
    • Get Specified Text (specified text below (a semi-colon))
    • Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
    • Get Specified Text (specified text below)
    keywords go here
    • Set Contents of TextEdit Document (temp.txt) (append)
    • Get Contents of TextEdit Document (results below)
    Read Today
    keywords go here"
    (Once I get this part working, I will add a URL onto it also).
    So, all my content has arrived here, but on three different lines. But because it is on three different lines, it does not import into Excel correctly. I can't concatenate this using the usual AppleScript method because I would have to declare these items as variables. I've tried various ideas, but I cannot get the three above to append to one line, like this…
    Read Today;keywords go here
    without manual intervention, which sort of defeats the reason for trying to automate this.
    I hope I've explained this well enough that it makes sense.
    Any help or ideas are appreciated.

    Well, it is good to know that it can be done in Applescript, though I have not found a way to accomplish this. All examples I have seen (Googling and AppleScript 1-2-3 book) use set statements using static strings, and then concatenating those statements together. Since my values are dynamic, those examples don't help.
    What I have to work with are these lines of text in a new document.
    Read Today
    keywords go here
    The text will vary from run to run.
    What I need to end with is… (for use in Excel, import text files action)
    Read Today;keywords go here (line1 & line2 & line3)
    So, I don't know how to proceed from here, unless I can do something like set var1 to line1 of temp.txt, set var2 to line2 of temp.txt, etc.

  • Error in phase: DISASSEMBLE Reason for error: PATCH_FILE_READ_ERROR

    Hello All
    I am applying support Package: SAPKB70009 on SAP ECC 6.0 for component SAP_BASIS with release 700.

    Guys can you please  shed some light on how to solve this issue.

    Hi,
    There might be 2 reaons for the error.
    1) corrupted files in EPS/in  or improper CAR of the files.
    2) the file permissions in EPS/in check whether the files are having proper permssions like 775 with owner <SID>adm

  • Removing an empty value for a imported table shown in a slicer

    Hi,
    I've imported a table and I've put the related code field in a slicer for a my pivot table. In the slicer I can see an empty box that I want to eliminate. I've tried to apply a filter for original data and powerpivot data from the powerpivot window. Moreover
    I've tried to uncheck the showing elements without data, but unsuccessfully. I've tried to update the imported tables after each applied change but no results.
    Any suggests to me, please? Thanks

    Hi there,
    i'm facing a similar problem which i find it hard to understand.
    1x fact table with 2 columns (to keep it simple):
       + col.1 - id_Division
       + col.2 - Sales_Amout
    1x dimension table with the the Company Business Organization (Departments, Business Units, etc) with 3 columns:
       + col.1 - id_Division
       + col.2 - Business_Unit
       + col.3 - Business_Area
    If i just load these two tables in my PowerPivot, then go to a worksheet and create a pivot table, selecting just the dimension table col.1 to the Values and col.2 to a slicer, i get the correct situation = 10x slicers corresponding to the 10x Business Units
    existing in the table, as you can see in the imagem attached.
    If i create a relationship between the fact table col.1  (id_Divion) with the dimension table col.1 (id_division), and then refresh the same pivot i've just created before, i get an extra empty slicer with no values in it. IS there any reason for this
    to appear?
    Appreciate your kind help and inputs. IF required i can share my workbook in order to get some further help.

  • 'Data for last import/Statistics' tab missing for Distributed imports in EMIGALL

    For some reason when I initiate Distributed loads using 'Distributed imports' in EMIGALL, I do not get the third and fourth tabs viz. 'Data for last import' and 'Statistics for import runs' after the loads are triggered. Is there a specific Note that needs to be applied.

  • When importing a CD to iTunes which will then be downloaded onto a ipod, which is the best setting format for sound quality?Im unsure if once i save setting for CD import, do i then have to change settings to sync with my ipod?

    When importing a CD to iTunes  which will then be downloaded onto a ipod, which is the best setting for audio quality?  Also once CD is downloaded do i need to change the setting to sync with my ipod?

    I'm not sure what settings you are referring to. If you mean the import CD settings, there would be no point in changing them after importing the CD, would there?
    As for the best setting for audio quality, it's down to your preference. Many people will not hear the difference bewteen one setting and another. The best thing to do is import the same song several times using different import setttings (and change the song title so you know which one is which) and then listen to them on your iPod. Then decide.
    Unless you have specific reasons for using the WAV setting, don't use it. It will use up a lot of space on your iPod and you cannot tag WAV files in the same way as the other formats.
