Replication Problem "Encrypted file on unencrypted media" (CSS)
Hello,
since a couple of weeks, we have problems with the replicator. They use Eclipse-Imageanalysis to check the DDP-masterdata before they do the glass-mastering. Imageanalysis is a standard-software for replicators.
This software reports from time to time "Encrypted file on unencrypted media". This means, that files are tagged for encryption (CSS) but the images do not have or require any encryption on a DVD master, which is not prepared for CSS.
We use GEAR Mastering Pro to create DDP masters by the VIDEO_TS folder created by Encor, instead of creating DLT tapes with Encore. But GMP is not where this problem is coming from. GMP does not affect the tagged files. The files are already tagged in the VIDEO_TS folder. The problem is definitely created by Encore. We had this problem already with Encore 1.5.
Has anyone experience with this problem? Is there a work-around, or a possibility to check this tagging/flagging ourselves instead of waiting for the replicators error-message?
Thanks in advance

@JBowden - I don´t need Encore to add CSS. I would never use Encore to master, never ever. Encore is so much unreliable. It´s better to use DDP images on disks (GEAR) instead of creating old-school and ultra-slow DLT tapes. Futhermore: A DDP can be veryfied and checked, a DLT not.
@Neil - Thanks. Well, i did exactly what Gear told, that means, we use SSCRST 4 / DDP 2.1. Is this 2048 or 2054? I am not sure, but i am sure that the VOBTABLE.DAT is always present, and this is typically for CSS - at least in DDP verson 2.0.
We create a big bunch of commercial masters each year, some with CSS and some without, all CSS-DVDs without problems, and some Encore-Non-CSS with this problem. The Gear company reports, that this problem is definitely caused by Adobe Encore, and that Adobe is not willing to cooperate in any way. This problem is present in Version 1.5 and in version 2.0.
Yesterday i bought the first Mac & DVD Studio Pro for our company. We have and had so much heavy problems with Encore and i spent so much money and time for the problems in it. If it will be better with the Apple software, we will drop Encore completely. Do you have experience with DVD Studio & Gear in combination?
Thanks

Offline Files: Win 7 client - Encrypt files only went halfway, now neither?
Hi all. I was just doing some testing with this Offline Files feature. This is my first time testing some of the additional management options for it. Client is Win 7 Pro (64bit), server is 2008 R2 and AD is a basic single-server type design
(a few VMs) at 2008 R2 functional level.
The process seemed simple - a brand new compuer, by default all redirected folders enable Offline Files. I also picked one network share (the user's home folder on the server, not much space usage).
The issue, and this post, is about the Encryption tab (under Sync Cener > Manage Offline Files). I can't recall offhand if I had finished the First-time sync or not, but at some point I clicked the Encrypt Files button. This seemed to progress
for a while, until it popped up a message saying a particular file was already in use by another user. At this point, it dropped out of the encrypting files progress screen.
Now I had the button changed from Encrypt Files to Encrypt Remaining Files. I took this to mean it would simply resume where it left off once clicked. Instead, I click it and nothing happens, no progress screen. I rebooted, camne back into
Sync Center, and it showed a status of Ready for first-time sync. Unsure of why since it had previously said "last sync on date/time", I still went to the Encryption tab.
Long story short, when I first entered this Encryption tab, only hte Encrypt button was available, the Unencrypt button was greyed out. Now when I go in, each tmie, after some reboots, it's always both but they alternate, one saying encrypt or unencrypt
remaining files. S it's like it i scaught halfway between fully encrypted or not encrypted at all.
I rebooted, looked at Disk Usage, and it says 0MB. So I did one more "first time sync" and let that go to completion before anything else. Now it says 1.31GB which is perhaps about right. Now, I see Encrypt Files, and Unencrypt
Remaining Files. I click the latter button, I see a progress screen for a little bit, then that disappers and I still see both buttons in the same state.
With this being my first time with this Offline Files stuff I am thinking this is very non-robust. There should be a way to just start over, a "clear all" type of button. Can anybody advise on how I should proceed?
Thank you.Well it seemed to have worked after all, but it took until the following day to show. That is, I followed the steps to make that registry key, rebooted and so forth, didn't see any changes, rebooted more, no changes still. The following day I
went to look at it and it had cleared itself up. It seems the Offline Files feature just needs some general improvement but that's eomthing I can't control. Perhaps on the next test system I run into this won't be a problem.
By the way I later learned that the reason this "file in use" error occurred during encryption (thus caused the encryption to mess up and not work anymore) was simply because it was in use by that user on another computer logged in. This same thing
causes sync errors when sync'ing, if the user is on another machine using that file. So again this sounds like MS just needs to beef up the management functionality of this feature I guess. -
Problem with File Based replication in Weblogic Express 10
Hi,
We have Web application (exploded war) file deployed on Weblogic Express 10, to a Cluster of three Managed Servers (all three on different physical machines).
We are using File based session persistance in weblogic.xml
We have a shared location for all the three servers where we will be sharing the Session data.
When we start the application, its works fine and is very fast, but after sometime the application slows down.
Troubleshooting the Issue we found that its a problem with file based replication. By using File based replication every user session is stored in form of directory inside shared directory. So after sometime thousands of directories are created inside the shared directory where the session information is stored. So when we access the application, its waiting for lot of time with Message Session Monitor .... (this is because its browsing through the shared session storage directory for lot of time for session information as it has lot of directories) and finally after a long time like 10 mins we get the Application Home Page.
When we clean up all the saved sessions inside shared directory, the application works fine, But we will see the same sometime later may be after 3 or 4 hours when the shared session directory has lot of session information stored in it.
Is there a way to clean up the saved session information on file system as soon as that user session is closed by using file based replication.
We cannot used Inmemory replication as our Appl doesnt support it.
Please advice as it is a major show stopper in our Production Mirror env.
Weblogic ConsultantIt is possible to reduce number of live session by configuring very low timeout-secs weblogic.xml. Default is 60 minutes.
More details are here..

Windows 7 problem with EFS (Encrypting file system)
Hello colleagues!
I think this topic is related more to the security.
The problem is a bit unusual and google doesn't give me a clear answers, but maybe anyone came across
with similar problem...
In general, I suspect that my problem is EFS (Encrypting file system), ie
service that automatically encrypts files using a digital signature (certificate).
A little background:
- On the work PC it was necessary to reinstall
the system, according to corporate rules all the content we have is encrypted using EFS (Encrypted files are highlighted with green color as you know).
I have copied all the data on a portable drive and also copied the certificates (certmgr.msc).
The system was reinstalled. The only change - it was x32 and became x64.
- It was necessary to free up some space on the hard drive (the file
system on it is NTFS), so, I temporary copied all the files on my home PC. My work certificate was installed on it too, because
I work from home
sometimes.
When the work PC was repaired, I've moved all the files back in
the same way (ie on the portable HDD, then to the work PC).
All files were working, but when I needed MS Word documents, it became clear that something was wrong.
When I've opened the document, it gaveme a window with weird symbols and prompts me to select the encoding ... of course -
no encoding was fit.
Started to explore all the documents, it appears that some part of them were working,
someof them not - all the old documents were working, ie the ones, which
were created before deploying EFS (newly created or copied files immediately encrypted).
So, now I am sure that the
documents were somehow re-encrypted, at least on a portable hard drive, they do not look as encrypted (not highlighted in green), but it's still not open.
Completely stopped opening all the documents that have
been encrypted (for all types of files, ie it is not just an MS Word, but also pdf, presentations, charts, and even the pictures).
Tell me, who faced similar?
How can it all back? I have no possibility to restore those documents from another sources.Try copy those corrupted files and make sure you are using the same certificate and then re-encrypt the copied files and try decrypt them.
If possible, use the same account as you used for encryption. -
I am having a problem installing File Vault. Encryption goes halfway
I am having a problem with File Vault encryption. Halfway through encryption I receive an error message stating that there is a problem with the encryption thus halting the process. When I try to restart the process I keep receiving a messsage saying that I cannot turn on File Vault without restarting the computer giving me the impression that I will never be able to use File Vault.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
Hi there,
My Device is Q10, my son he inter wrong password more than 10 times and Device directly deleting my data. I open device and I restore backup and my data but know I facing problem in Memory card ( micro card ) when I installed its showing this message ( the Media card is Encrypted files with another device )
I need to fix that’s problems I have data for 3 years old ( photos, videos, work files ) and very important files.Can you turn off the encryption?
BlackBerry 10 OS:
The BlackBerry 10 smartphone will start to encrypt all of the data that resides on the inserted media card as soon as the Media Card Encryption setting is changed to On.
Once completely encrypted, the data can be accessed by using the any of following methods:
By opening the file Manager on the smartphone and browsing to the content
By using the appropriately associated app that has access to the media card data, for example:
Docs to go app to open documents such as spreadsheet, or powerpoint documents.
By connecting the smartphone to a computer that has BlackBerry Link installed or has BlackBerry 10 smartphone drivers installed.
Note: Data can then be added, copied or moved from the encrypted media card installed on the smartphone when using the computer that is connected to the smartphone.
By accessing mounted drives, or by accessing the UNC path of the device using the following address format \\169.254.x.x\
Note: Trying to access data from an encrypted memory card on the smartphone that has USB Mass Storage mode set to On or by removing the encrypted memory card from the device and inserting it into a card reader on the PC or another smartphone, will result in the inability to open the contents of the data successfully.
The files will be displayed showing the file name and type but will be unrecognizable when attempting to opening the file.
Note: There is no .rem file name extension added to file names that are encrypted by a BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

- Setting up WinDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
It has been a long painful road to discover this information.
I hope sharing it helps you.
Using EFS on Windows 7 pro / ultimate is easy and works great. See
here and
here
So too is opening + editing encrypted files over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network.
HOWEVER, creating a new file / new folder over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network
won't work (unless you follow below steps).
Typically, it is only discovered as an issue when a home user wants to use synchronisation software between their home computers which happens to have a few folders encrypted using windows EFS. I had this issue trying to use GoodSync.
Typically an "Access Denied" error messages is thrown when a \\clientpc tries to create new folder / new file in an encrypted folder on a remote file share \\fileserver.
Why such a EFS drama when a network is involved?
Assume a home peer-to-peer network with 2pc: \\fileserver and \\clientpc
When a \\clientpc tries to create a new file or new folder on a \\fileserver (remote computer) it fails. In a terribly simplified explanation it is because the process on \\fileserver that is answering the network requests is a process working for a user on
another machine (\\clientpc) and that \\fileserver process doesn't have access to an encryption certificate (as it isn't a user). Active Directory gets around this by using kerberos so the process can impersonate a \\fileserver user and then use their certificate
(on behalf of the clienpc's data request).
This behaviour is confusing, as a \\clientpc can open or edit an existing efs encrypted file or folder, just can't create a new file or folder. The reason editing + opening an encrypted file over a network file share is possible is because the encrypted
file / folder already has an encryption certificate, so it is clear which certificate is required to open/edit the file. Creating a new file/folder requires a certificate to be assigned and a process doesn't have a profile or certificates assigned.
Solutions
There are two main approaches to solve this:
1) SOLVE by setting up an Active Directory (efs files accessed through file shares)
EFS operations occur on the computer storing the files.
EFS files are decrypted then transmitted in plaintext to the client's computer
This makes use of kerberos to impersonate a local user (and use their certificate for encrypt + decrypt)
2) SOLVE by setting up WebDAV (efs files accessed through web folders)
EFS operations occur on the client's local computer
EFS files remain encrypted during transmission to the client's local computer where it is decrypted
This avoids active directory domains, roaming or remote user profiles and having to be trusted for delegation.
BUT it is a pain to set up, and most online WebDAV server setup sources are not for home peer-to-peer networks or contain details on how to setup WebDAV for EFS file provision
READ BELOW as this does
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via Active Directory
It is easily possible to sort this out on a domain based (corporate) active directory network. It is well documented. See
here. However, the problem is on a normal Windows 7 install (ie home peer-to-peer) to set up the server as part of an active directory domain is complicated, it is time consuming it is bulky, adds burden to operation of \\fileserver computer
and adds network complexity, and is generally a pain for a home user. Don't. Use a WebDAV.
Although this info is NOT for setting up EFS on an active directory domain [server],
for those interested here is the gist:
Use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to configure delegation options for both users and computers. To trust a computer for delegation, open the computer’s Properties sheet and select Trusted for delegation. To allow a user
account to be delegated, open the user’s Properties sheet. On the Account tab, under Account Options, clear the The account is sensitive and cannot be delegated check box. Do not select The account is trusted for delegation. This property is not used with
EFS.
NB: decrypted data is transmitted over the network in plaintext so reduce risk by enabling IP Security to use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)—which will encrypt transmitted data,
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via WebDAV
For home users it is possible to make it all work.
Even better, the functionality is built into windows (pro + ultimate) so you don't need any external software and it doesn't cost anything. However, there are a few hotfixes you have to apply to make it work (see below).
Setting up a wifi AP (for those less technical):
a) START ... CMD
b) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyPersonalWifi key=12345 keyUsage=persistent"
c) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
Set up a WebDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
-----ON THE FILESERVER------
1 click START and type "Turn Windows Features On or Off" and open the link
a) scroll down to "Internet Information Services" and expand it.
b) put a tick in: "Web Management Tools" \ "IIS Management Console"
c) put a tick in: "World Wide Web Services" \ "Common HTTP Features" \ "WebDAV Publishing"
d) put a tick in: "World Wide Web Services" \ "Security" \ "Basic Authentication"
e) put a tick in: "World Wide Web Services" \ "Security" \ "Windows Authentication"
f) click ok
g) run HOTFIX - ONLY if NOT running Windows 7 / windows 8

KB907306 here ONLY for Vista, XP, Server 2008, Server 2003 (made in 2007)
2 Click START and type "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager"
3 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Enable WebDAV"
4 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Authentication", then click "Open Feature"
a) on the "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Disable"
b) on the "Windows Authentication" and click "Enable"
NB: Some Win 7 will not connect to a webDAV user using Basic Authentication.
It can be by changing registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
BasicAuthLevel=2
c) on the "Windows Authentication" click "Advanced Settings"
set Extended Protection to "Required"
NB: Extended protection enhances the windows authentication with 2 security mechanisms to reduce "man in the middle" attacks
5 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Authorization Rules", then click "Open Feature"
a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Add Allow Rule"
b) set this to "all users". This will control who can view the "Default Site" through a web browser
NB: It is possible to specify a group (eg Administrators is popular) or a user account. However, if not set to "all users" this will require the specified group/user account to be used for logged in with on the
clientpc.
NB: Any user account specified here has to exist on the server. It has a bug in that it usernames specified here are not validated on input.
6 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Directory Browsing", then click "Open Feature"
a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Enable"
HOTFIX - double escaping
7 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Request Filtering", then click "Open Feature"
a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Edit Feature Settings"
b) tick the box "Allow double escaping"
*THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT* if your filenames or foldernames contain characters like "+" or "&"
These folders will appears blank with no subdirectories, or these files will not be readable unless this is ticked
This is safe btw. Unchecked (default) it filters out requests that might possibly be misinterpreted by buggy code (eg double decode or build url's via string-concat without proper encoding). But any bug would need to be in IIS basic
file serving and this has been rigorously tested by microsoft, so very unlikely. Its safe to "Allow double escaping".
8 in IIS, on the left under "connections" right click "Default Web Site", then click "Add Virtual Directory"
a) set the Alias to something sensible eg "D_Drive", set the physical path
b) it is essential you click "connect as" and set
this to a local user (on fileserver),
if left as "pass through authentication" a client won't be able to create a new file or folder in an encrypted efs folder (on fileserver)
NB: the user account selected here must have the required EFS certificates installed.
See
here and
here
NB: Sharing the root of a drive as an active directory (eg D:\ as "D_Drive") often can't be opened on clientpcs.
This is due to windows setting all drive roots as hidden "administrative shares". Grrr.
The work around is on the \\fileserver create an NTFS symbollic link
e.g. to share the entire contents of "D:\",
on fileserver browse to site path (iis default this to c:\inetpub\wwwroot)
in cmd in this folder create an NTFS symbolic link to "D:\"
so in cmd type "cd c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
then in cmd type "mklink /D D_Drive D:\"
NB: WebDAV will open this using a \\fileserver local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for the local account (clients will login using)
NB: If clientpc can see files but gets error on opening them, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords", delete any "windows credentials" for the fileserver being used, restart
clientpc
9 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click on "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
a) click "Add authoring rules". Control access to this folder by selecting "all users" or "specified groups" or "specified users", then control whether they can read/write/source
b) if some exist review existing allow or deny.
Take care to not only review the "allow access to" settings
but also review "permissions" (read/write/source)
NB: this can be set here for all added virtual directories, or can be set under each virtual directory
10 Open your firewall software and/or your router. Make an exception for port 80 and 443
a) In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security click Inbound Rules, click New Rule
choose Port, enter "80, 443" (no speech marks), follow through to completion. Repeat for outbound.
NB: take care over your choice to untick "Public", this can cause issues if no gateway is specified on the network (ie computer-to-computer with no router). See "Other problems+fixes"
below, specifically "Cant find server due to network location"
b) Repeat firewall exceptions on each client computer you expect to access the webDAV web folders on
HOTFIX - MAJOR ISSUE - fix KB959439
11 To fully understand this read "WebDAV HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS" below
a) On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
- click START, type "regedit", open link
-browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MRxDAV\Parameters]
-on the EDIT menu click NEW, then click DWORD Value
-Type "DisableEFSOnWebDav" to name it (no speech marks)
-on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type 1, then click OK
-You MUST now restart this computer for the registry change to take effect.
b) On Windows Server 2008 / Vista / XP you'll FIRST need to
download Windows6.0-KB959439 here. Then do the above step.
NB microsoft will ask for your email. They don't care about licence key legality, it is more to keep you updated if they modify that hotfix
12 To test on local machine (eg \\fileserver) and deliberately bypass the firewall.
a) make sure WebClient Service is running
(click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
b) Open your internet software. Go to address "http://localhost:80" or "http://localhost:80"
It should show the default "IIS7" image.
If not, as firewall and port blocking are bypassed (using localhost) it must be a webDAV server setting. Check "Authorization Rules" are set to "Allow All Users"
c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://localhost/"
e.g. http://localhost/D_drive
If nothing is listed, check "Directory Browsing" is enabled
13 To test on local machine or a networked client and deliberately try and access through the firewall or port opening of your router.
a) make sure WebClient Service is running
(click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
b) open your internet software. Go to address "http://<computer>:80" or "http://<computer>:80".
eg if your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80"
It should show the default "IIS7" image. If not, check firewall and port blocking.
Any issue ie if (12) works but (13) doesn't, will indicate a possible firewall issue or router port blocking issue.
c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://<computername>:80/"
eg if alias is "C_driver" and your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
A directory listing of files should appear.
--- ON EACH CLIENT ----
HOTFIX - improve upload + download speeds
14 Click START and type "Internet Options" and open the link
a) click the "Connections" tab at the top
b) click the "LAN Settings" button at the bottom right
c) untick "Automatically detect settings"
HOTFIX - remove 50mb file limit
15 On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
a) click START, type "regedit", open link
b) browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
c) click on "FileSizeLimitInBytes"
d) on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type "ffffffff", then click OK (no quotes)
HOTFIX - remove prompt for user+pass on opening an office or pdf document via WebDAV
16 On each clientpc click START, type "Internet Options" and open it
a) click on "Security" (top) and then "Custom level" (bottom)
b) scroll right to the bottom and under "User Authentication" select "Automatic logon with current username and password"
SUCH an easy fix. SUCH an annoying problem on a clientpc
NB: this is only an issue if the file is opened through windows explorer. If opened through the "open" dialogue of the software itself, it doesn't happen. This is as a WebDAV mapped drive is consdered a "web folder" by windows
explorer.
TEST SETUP
17 On the client use the normal "map network drive"
e.g. server= "http://fileserver:80/C_drive", tick reconnect at logon
e.g. CMD: net use * "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
If it doens't work check "WebDAV Authoring Rules" and check NTFS permissions for these folders. Check that on the filserver the elected impersonation user that the client is logging in with (clientpc
"manage network passwords") has NTFS permissions.
18 Test that EFS is now working over the network
a) On a clientpc, map network drive to http://fileserver/
b) navigate to a folder you know on the \\flieserver is encrypted with EFS
c) create a new folder, create a new file.
IF it throws an error, check carefully you mapped to the WebDAV and not file share
i.e. mapped to "http://fileserver" not "\\fileserver"
Check that on clientpc the required efs certificate is installed. Then check carefully on clientpc what user account you specified during the map drive process. Then check on the \\fileserver this
account exists and has the required EFS certificate installed for use. If necessary, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords" and delete the windows credentials currently in the vault.
d) on clientpc (through a webDAV mapped folder) open an encrypted file, edit it, save it, close it. On the \\fileserver now check that file is readable and not gobble-de-goup
e) on clientpc copy an encrypted efs file into a folder (a webDAV mapped folder) you know is not encrypted on \\fileserver. Now check on the \\fileserver computer that the file is readable and not gobble-de-goup (ie the
clientpc decrypted it then copied it).
If this fails, it is likely one in IIS setting on fileserver one of the shared virtual directories is set to: "pass through authentication" when it should be set to "connect as"
If this is not readable check step (11) and that you restarted the \\fileserver computer.
19 Test that clients don't get the VERY annoying prompt when opening an Office or PDF doc
a) on clientpc in windows explorer browse to a mapped folder you know is encrypted and open an office file and then PDF.
If a prompt for user+pass then check hotfix (16)
20 Consider setting up a recycling bin for this mapped drive, so files are sent to recycling bin not permanently deleted
a) see the last comment at the very bottom of
this page:
Points to consider:
- NB: WebDAV runs on \\fileserver under a local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for that local account and adjust file permissions accordingly. If the local account doesn't have permission, the webDAV / web folder share won't
either.
- CONSIDER: IP Security (IPSec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect files during transport.
MORE INFO: HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS
More info on step (11) above.
Because files remain encrypted during the file transfer and are decrypted by EFS locally, both uploads to and downloads from Web folders are raw data transfers. This is an advantage as if data is intercepted it is useless. This is a massive disadvantage as
it can cause unexpected results. IT MUST BE FIXED or you could be in deep deep water!
Consider using \\clientpc to access a webfolder on \\fileserver and copying an encrypted EFS file (over the network) to a web folder on \\fileserver that is not encrypted.
Doing this locally would automatically decrypt the file first then copy the decrypted file to the non-encrypted folder.
Doing this over the network to a web folder will copy the raw data, ie skip the decryption stage and result in the encrypted EFS file being raw copied to the non-encrypted folder. When viewed locally this file will not be recognised as encrypted (no encryption
file flag, not green in windows explorer) but it will be un-readable as its contents are still encrypted. It is now not possible to locally read this file. It can only be viewed on the \\clientpc
There is a fix:
It is implimented above, see (11) above

This one took me a long time to track down to "network location".
Win 7 uses network locations "Home" / "Work" / "Public".
If no gateway is specified in the IP address, the network is set to '"unidentified" and so receives "Public" settings.
This is a disaster for remote file share access as typically "network discovery" and "file sharing" are disabled under "Public"
FIX = either set IP address manually and specify a gateway
FIX = or force "unidentified" network locations to assume "home" or "work" settings -
read here or
here
FIX = or change the "Public" "advanced network settings" to turn on "network discovery" and "file sharing" and "Password Protected Sharing". This is safe as it will require a windows
login to gain file access.
PROBLEM: Deleting files on network drive permanently deletes them, there is no recycling bin
By changing the location of "My Contacts" or similar to the root directory of your mapped drive, it will be added to recycling bin locations
Read
here (i've posted a batch script to automatically make the required reg files)
I really hope this helps people. I hope the keywords + long title give it the best chance of being picked up in web searches.What probably happens is that processes are using those mounts. And that those processes are not killed before the mounts are unmounted. Is there anything that uses those mounts?

Viewing iMovie file with Windows Media Player
Is it possible to convert an iMovie file to allow viewing on a PC with Windows Media Player? Unable to use Quicktime on the PC due to unique reason while on mission.

I have a similar problem, which is that I want a Windows user to be able to view my iMovie file using Windows Media Player. I have Flip4Mac on my Mac but isn't that for converting the other way around - for viewing a Windows Media Player file on a Mac?
Sorry, I see that there is a Studio version that allows conversion to wmv - I only had the free basic version for Flip4Mac - should have looked more closely at the website! -
HT1338 I cannot open encrypted files/folders on my back up disc.
Hi, I created an encrypted disc, with disc utility. It is a .sparseimage type file, 128 encryption, password protected. I can open it on my Mac no problem, I took the password off the keychain (as advised) and if I try to open the disc (which I placed in "Documents") once I enter the password, everything opens fine.
The problem is when I try to open the files on my back up disc (I use an external hard drive to back up everything, via time machine) I get this message after entering the password" The following disc images could not be opened" and in a smaller box underneath, the relevant disc is named and it says this next to it"no mountable file systems".
So if my Mac was to crash and I needed the ext. hd as a back up for recovery, currently, the encrypted files cannot be opened.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks,
Michael.How do you copy it to the backup disk? That error generally means that the file didn't fully copy over.
Open a Terminal window. Type 'md5', space, and then drag the sparseimage file that works into the Terminal window, and then press return.
Do the same think for the sparseimage that doesn't work.
If they are the same file, they should have the same MD5 value. If the codes don't match, the files are not identical.
Do a Get Info on each file and see if they are the same length.
The only thing I can think of is that file is not completely copied or the external disk is formatted as a FAT32 (Windows) disk, in which case, files can't be more than 4G and if your image is larger than that, it will get cut off. -
How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats
How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats
Nowadays, every one can download their favorite videos from video sharing websites like YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com and so on at will. However, these video files we got are usually in the format of FLV, or F4V, which are not workable by most portable devices, or some video players and video editors on our PC. With the intention of solving these problems, this guide will show you how to convert FLV and F4V files to other video and audio formats in detail.
1. Download, install and run Pavtube FLV Converter
As soon as you run this program, the following wine red interface will show up:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV and F4V files to this program by clicking on “Add” button, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press the output folder to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default. Moreover, “merge into one file” enables you to combine multiple FLV and F4V files to be as a single file, if you have this needs, just tick it.
3. Set advanced settings
Click “Settings” button, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. on it to optimize the output quality or compress file size.
4. Convert
After all settings are done, you can press “Convert” button to start transferring, and then the following window will show you the conversion info in detail. According to the info you can manage your time and disk space properly.
Pavtube FLV Converter can definitely complete the conversion at a swift speed with excellent quality; also it adopts an advanced audio-video sync technology, so that audio and video match very well in the resulted files. Therefore you need not worry about these issues.

One of the desktops on my macbook 2007 steel case will not open.
The message i get on screen at login is that there is a problem with file vault.
my dissertation is on that desktop.
all other desktops/user accounts are unaffected and i have admin permissions on them
i recently upgraded to osx 10.9.4
how can i get back in?
chaiman 22If you restored the account to which the FileVault protected Home folder belonged, then you need to log into that account and enable FileVault.
If you just need access to the data in the FV protected Home folder, then locate the sparsebundle disc image file that contains the encrypted folder. Double-click on it as if to mount it. You will then need to enter the FV password associated with the account to gain access (this is NOT the admin nor login password.) -
Problem with file descriptors not released by JMF
Hi,
I have a problem with file descriptors not released by JMF. My application opens a video file, creates a DataSource and a DataProcessor and the video frames generated are transmitted using the RTP protocol. Once video transmission ends up, if we stop and close the DataProcessor associated to the DataSource, the file descriptor identifying the video file is not released (checkable through /proc/pid/fd). If we repeat this processing once and again, the process reaches the maximum number of file descriptors allowed by the operating system.
The same problem has been reproduced with JMF-2.1.1e-Linux in several environments:
- Red Hat 7.3, Fedora Core 4
- jdk1.5.0_04, j2re1.4.2, j2sdk1.4.2, Blackdown Java
This is part of the source code:
// video.avi with tracks audio(PCMU) and video(H263)

Logger.log(ambito,refTrazas+"Cannot create DataSource from: " + ml);
return 1;

if (!waitForState(p.Configured))
Logger.log(ambito,refTrazas+"Failed to configure the processor.");

Many thanks.Its a bug on H263, if you test it without h263 track or with other video codec, the release will be ok.
You can try to use a not-Sun h263 codec like the one from fobs or jffmpeg projects. -
Problems sending files to new iMac
I have tried to send folders from our MacBook to our new iMac (out of the box 2 days ago!), and keep on getting a 'Device does not have the necessary services' message. Just in case it was the MacBook with the problem I have tried sending media files from my phone to the iMac and keep on getting 'failed' messages. I tried to send a file from the iMac to the MacBook and this worked, so it's in the receiving, rather than the sending. What can I do? Thanks
Have you enabled Bluetooth Sharing in the System Preferences? Go to Sys Prefs/Sharing and check the box to allow Bluetooth sharing in the Sharing services list on the left of the pane. You will then be offered a number of things to configure when using this service on the right of the pane.

ICloud Drive shows 'Encrypted Folder' and 'Encrypted File' instead of correct folder and files names
On my 2014 MBA (10.10.2), I added a group of folders and files to iCloud Drive in Finder by dragging and dropping. I do not use disk encryption. The files are of various types (mostly jpeg/pdf, and a few docx). I can see the files when I login to iCloud.com, they are not showing as encrypted. But on my iPad2 8.2 the folders and files show as Encrypted Files and Folders (Settings-iCloud-Storage-Manage Storage-Other Documents (under Documents and Data). I have tried opening these with "authorized apps" on the iPad2, but the apps don't see these files. Two questions: 1. Why are these showing as encrypted, i have no idea what is on the iPad2?; and 2. Once I can get an answer to 1., will I be able to open these jpeg and pdf files on the iPad2. Thanks.
Sorry we aren't communicating. This doesn't have anything to do with a program being associated with the file. No regular app can open an encrypted file. Here is the final outcome. For some reason, after 2 days, these files now show up as unencrypted files in iCloud Drive on the iPad. That is they now match up by name and extension with what I have on the MBA in Finder. There is no explanation except that iCloud Drive is buggy.
