Reset codec ...

Hi guys,
Quick question, perhaps in the wrong section of the forum, but anyways, how can you tell if your camcorder resets the codec? I have a Sony HDR-HC3 and want to batch capture but how can I know if its going to do it correctly i.e. its not resetting the codec each time I switch the camcorder on and off?
Ali.

Hi,
I am using Final Cut Pro 6 and when batch capturing you can set the time at which you want each section of clips to be captured so that you dont have to sit there manually capturing each clip separately, however you cannot do this if your camcorder resets the codec meaning that if you start recording and finish one minute later and then start again for another minute then it recognises this as 2 minutes rather than resetting when you stop recording at the end of the first minute and then starting from 00:00 again for the second clip.
Thus meaning you cant batch capture? That was my understanding anyways?

TC7.3.0 codec fails after reset and power cycle - failed: dns lookup failed (CUCM registered)

Have a couple of codec's in the lab here that will work sometimes, and sometimes won't. They're running the latest 7.3.0 code and registering to CUCM 10.5.1SU1. I've tried factory resetting them and get the same result. I've manually configured the CUCM provisioning address in the system, and it immediately pulls down the correct SIP URI. Sometimes power cycling the unit will allow it to register. I have DNS running in this lab, A records created for all relevant hosts.
Anybody seen this before?

This was for two C20's. I think I found the issue. About 1 out of every 3 reset/power cycles they would work the rest they would not.
Basically, I was using DHCP to assign IP, but manually assigning DNS. You are able to do this on most machines, but the way the Codec handles this is different. It simply appends your manual DNS configuration, including the DNS domain, to the list obtained from DHCP. In a packet capture I was able to see where it would query all 3 DNS servers (1 manual 2 from DHCP) and it would query based on my manual domain and the DHCP domain. It appears to round-robin the response it uses, as all DNS servers responded in one fashion or another, it just picked one to listen to. In this manner, it had about a 33% chance of picking the correct response.
After statically assigning the IP address, the problem went away as the only DNS server was the one manually assigned.
I take this all with a grain of salt though, as our internal team is using the TC7.2.1 code and they get the DNS issue every once in a while regardless of the DHCP/DNS configuration. There may be more to this, but I can say with certainty that using DHCP and manual DNS configuration at the same time is not recommended.

Resetting your codec's for quictime

hi guys~
i had my intel imac's quicktime working perfectly....playing divx, xvid, wmv and etc.
until i downloaded some bogus codec package and basically my codecs for quicktime has gone nuts.
after working on this issue for a whole day. now i need some help.
i have 3vix, flip4mac, divx 6, xvid components installed. but whenever i open a dvix file it takes quite a long time to open. i can open wmv's and xvids but not divx(AVI).
i just now want to go back. could someone tell me how to reset the whole quicktime codec's so i can start from the beginning of installing the codecs
do just need to delete everything in the Library -> quicktime folder?
i use ilife 08 and iwork so deleting any components wouldn't effect the programs right...
thanks in advance for the answers~

Remove any codec with an "x" in its name manually and restart your computer.
WMP formats still require the Flip4Mac component.

G5 10.5.8 Combo Update codec overrun - install fails

Hi,
I still have my first mac, a Power Mac G5, but it has been acting as a center speaker stand for some time now. A couple of years ago it started playing up, I spent hours and pounds trying to fix it, gave up and bought a shiny new iMac. So with the festive season upon us and orders to tidy up, I thought I'd have one last try at fixing it before turning it into a drinks cabinet.
As I recall, it all started to go wrong one day when I tried to download a large update to something. When I tried to install the update I got a Codec Overrun error and/or a Corrupt File message. As it stands today the machine is running a clean install of OSX 10.5.6 and I am failing to install the MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.dmg upgrade. I currently have 2 copies of the update.
One copy on the desktop was downloaded directly from the Apple support site. The .dmg opens and verifies OK and I can launch the MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.pkg. This runs through the installation sequence, past the password but finally comes up with an error message "Install Failed. The installer could not validate the contents of the 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
Another copy in my downloads folder, put there by the Software Updater, doesn't get that far. It comes up with "Warning,The following disk image failed to mount. Image - MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.dmg, Reason - codec overrun."
So far I have tried:-
Memory - run third party memory checker application (can't remember which one) and found no faults.Tried different set of memory cards
Hard disk - run all the disk check and repair utilities, re-formatted, repartitioned. Tried a different hard disk.
OSX 10.5.6 - reinstalled from original disks several times.
MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8 - downloaded via Software Updater process and direct from Apple Support website. Downloaded via wi-fi, ethernet, different Mac, different PC. Always get the exact same file size.
Resetting the PRAM etc
New standby battery
Installing in Safe Mode
Swearing.
None of this has worked. I get some different error messages but they are all variations of "codec overrun", "corrupt file" or "Install failure"
Anyone got any other ideas? Or should I just get on with the drinks cabinet conversion?
Thanks

That message isn't a space available message. If you bring up Disk Utility, how does it say the partition is formatted, ie, partition format, write status, and partition map scheme? Assume SMART status is verified, yes?

Itunes and Internet wont open because of a "netsh reset" code

My Itunes store was having troubles opening before, and i couldnt figure anything out to make it work. i updated it, redownloaded it, and finally used a "Netsh reset" code in the command prompter. this resulted in Itunes not even opening, and neither did my internet. i've no idea how to fix it or what to do. help?

Try removing QUicktime and installing the stand alone version. Also check for incompatible software.
Here is a method
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Where to get the AVC-I codec for premier pro cs6?

I have searched all over the web to find this codec but I can't seem to find it anywhere? Does anyone know where it is? I am using windows 8 64 bit OS.

My adaptor fried itself in under six months and apple charged me $105 for the replacement. I was so disappointed that they charged me. Thought everything was warranteed.
Amy-
I've had my MBPro for almost four months (love it. A few days ago, I thought I noticed the green light dimmer than usual. It continued to dim for 36-48 hours until it finally disappeared. No amber, either. I can use the machine on AC power, but the battery will not charge (it's at 82%, period). I tried everything first: reset SMC, reset PMU, safe mode. No luck.
Called Apple Tech Support yesterday (Sunday), explained the situation, and after very few questions the Rep said they'd ship me a replacement AC adapter & cord via FedEx Overnight (arriving Tuesday). He said a prepaid FedEx shipping label will be included so I can return the failed unit.
NOTE: I do NOT have Extended AppleCare (i.e., my 90-days of free telephone support has expired). But because this is a hardware problem, it is covered under a 1-year warranty on hardware.
Something's not right, Amy. Definitely call Apple Support (800-275-2273 in the US) - report my experience if you wish - and ask them why your case was any different than mine (it wasn't). (I wonder ... Was it an Apple Store that made the original "you have to pay" decision? Maybe someone just didn't understand all the terms of the warranty?)
Hope this helps.
Good luck,

Ipad 1 upgraded to iOS 5, "play where left off" video function no longer works, and codecs aren't recognized.

for some reason after updating to iOS 5, my videos no longer play where i left off, even if i set on the settings to do so. and yes i've tried restoring again, playing video over and over. resetting the video over and over. after a while of tinkering i figured there might be something wrong with the iOS.. also the codecs say "unknown" now, weird. anyone else having these types of problems?

@bokehftw no problem.
Update:
I did my best to compare the two files i have in question. One pulled directly from my itunes library, and the other from my storage location (exact same file used to import INTO my library).
Now I admit that analyzing metadata is NOT something I claim to know how to do, but I am capable of googling some stuff and trying to figure something out.
So, unless I am missing something here, unfortunately, my findings point AWAY from the metadata thing. It seems that most of the metadata was actually stripped out of the iTunes file.
iTunes File:
Original File:
Only thing I blacked out is the name of the file in question - you will just have to trust me that it's the same exact file (except the original was used to "import" into my library and the iTunes file is literally pulled from my iTunes Media folder). Someone who is more familiar with the framework of iTunes may be able to decipher a little better - and for all I know, iTunes uses a funky way of adding it's own metadata that can't be read by third party programs (like Media Info - which is what I used).
Ah well, back to square one. If anything, I hope this gets others with more experience/knowledge involved on the subject.
And on a final note (related to the initial problem) I've also noticed that since iOS5, editing my "info" tabs on my media files (read "movie" files - not music) directly on my idevice, I've noticed it's hit or miss if it actually sticks. Prior to 5, I had no problems adding info (such as Artist, album, etc.) and having it show up that way. Now, the filename itself changes, but the additional information is now no longer shown. wierd.

How to Reset the Sata Link Controller for Full Sata 3 speeds on an OCZ Agility 3

So I purchased a new OCZ Agility 3 drive, installed it into the main bay of my 2012 Macbook Pro, and the drive was running at half speed. I called OCZ and spoke to the guys about how to resolve this issue, they were very knowledgeable, but they had no ideas how to make thier Linux Live Tool work on the Mac, which gives us the ability to reset the controller. Here's what I did to get the full speeds out of my OCZ Agility 3.
- You will need a Windows computer, or the ability to create and install Windows on a Bootcamp partition on your Mac.
- Thumb Drive
- Lots of Patience
1. Open Disk Utility and create one partition on your thumb drive under MS-DOS Fat 32. Click the Options tab and select “Master Boot Record.”
2. Go to the OCZ forum and download the older Linux Live Tool version: OCZ_Tools_316-old.zip. From my experience, the newer version doesn’t work on the 2012 Macbook Pro.
3.Download the “Universal USB Installer” for Windows, and follow the steps to install the ISO to your Thumb Drive using the instructions located on the OCZ Forum. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?99275-NEW!-Bootable-Linux -based-tools-for-OCZ-SSD-s&p=714047&viewfull=1#post714047
4. Once the ISO is successfully copied to the Thumb Drive, insert the USB stick into your Mac with the OCZ SSD installed in the Main Bay, Power On, and hold down the “Option” key. You should see a yellow hard disk icon that says “Windows,” select it and press enter.
5. Once the OCZ Tool loads up, click the “Green Arrows” to put the drive into Sata II mode. Shutdown the computer, power on, and check the System Profiler. The drive should be running at Sata II speeds.
6. Shutdown the computer and boot into the OCZ Tool, and click on the “Red Arrows.” This will reset the controller to its default mode of Sata III (Sata 6 Mode).
7. Check the speed of the drive using the disk speed test of your choice. The drive should now be running at full speed.
The biggest accomplishment here was actually getting the OCZ Linux Live Tool to load on a 2012 Macbook Pro. The newer version of the tool doesnt support the USB 3.0 drivers, so you loose the funtion of your trackpad and keyboard or bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
**Note: Black Magic Disk Speed Test Version 2.0 may give you lower numbers than expected due to the compression method in testing the drive. I would prefer using XBench or Disk Speed Test Version 1.0**
***Here's a link to a thread that explains how to properly install your OS onto the drive. If not done correctly, this can also cripple the speed of the drive.***

I can almost see a big grin appearing in Bob's avatar...
Hopefully his reply has given you a clue already?
If not, some explanation:
Many settings in the standard "Media" panel (for both video and audio) don't apply for publications that need to go the Folio-way. This panel is mainly concerned with lovely Flash stuff, but apart from the Poster frame and the Markers, it is useless for Folio's.
A quick guide: create a video with the necessary codec (H.264 for video, MP# or AAC for audio) at the required pixel size (exact width/height). Simply Place the file in InDesign, but don't scale it (or recreate and place a properly sized new video afterwards). Choose what to do with the Poster frame (and maybe some Markers), but all other settings are done in the Overlay Creator.
Check Bob Bringhurst's Tutorials and his DPS Tips app for more info. But I guess you get the idea now.

Elements problem after divx codec install

hi all,
I am having an interresting problem and I am hoping someone can give me some advice.
I have been running Premiere Elements 8 for a while and a it has been working fine. a few days ago I tried to install the divx codec. Now I open Premiere Elements and it will open, load my project, then minimize and I can not get it to restore.
I have uninstalled divx but no luck.
I also did a windows system restore to a previous state but had no luck there either.
I am running Windows 7 64 Bit.
on a quad core Intel Q6700 processor
intel motherboard
8 GB of Ram
ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL) Video card
dual monitor.
I am suspecting the codec updated a driver somewhere that is causing a conflict.
I had similar problems with Photoshop elements 8 and had to disable my twain drivers to get it to work.
any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks;

Welcome to the forum.
I have used the DivX CODEC, plus the DivX Pro Encoder for years, with zero issues, until the most recent update of DivX with both its CODEC and its player. Did not update the DivX Pro Encoder.
First, these problems have not affected PrE 4.0, running on XP-Pro SP3, so there ARE many differences to your setup. With those differences, I am not at all sure that my observations will apply to your installation and your system.
The only problem that I encountered was that the DivX player seized the File Type Associations for all AVI's, so that Dbl-clicking on any, would always Open them in the DivX player. The new one is filled with ads for all sorts of things, and reminds me of the old RealPlayer from years ago. Also, those ad often lead to a dead-end, from which the only recourse is to buy whatever the ad features, or go to Task Manager and Kill the process - really, really bad move DivX. All it took was going to Control Panel>Folder Options>File Type and changing the AVI associations back to my desired player, MediaPlayer Classic HC. Fixed.
That was my only issue with any version of the DivX CODEC, or the DivX player. Still, I made note of it.
That does not mean that on your system, and with PrE 8, something in there might not have broken.
I would check the file associations in Control Panel, and reset any, that DivX Player might have changed, then test.
While you are at it, also update both your video driver and your audio driver, from their mfgr. Web site.
Good luck, and maybe others will have tips or suggestions.

Error message: 'Codec not found..'

Hi all. This is a new error I've never seen before.
It's stopping me doing anything at all really.
As soon as I start up FCP and click on a sequence I get this message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.'
Then I click on OK and it says 'Error - Out of memory.'
I've heard rumours that it could be the fact I'm using a strange type of JPEG, but it still happens with PNGs.
I've made sure my scratch disks are all going to the right place. I also have 100gb of free space.
The version of FCP I'm using is 6.0.5. I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.4.11 (yes, I know it's old!) and I've downloaded the latest version of Quicktime.
Help, anyone? I have an assignment due in tomorrow.
Many thanks...

What formats are your sources and sequence? Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences?

Trouble exporting any mov files into H264 after adding K-Lite codec pack into Windows XP SP3.

I have QuickTime 7.7 (1680.34) installed. I have used it extensively and exported the video separate from the audio and extracted and used filters and it has all worked great with all of the other codecs I have had installed. It even worked great after I recently installed this K-Lite codec pack that actually saved files in a *.hdmov file type and I was able to view them with the Media Player Classic .... (I have Windows XP update 3) and see what I could do over there and then go back to saving them as *.mov file types and work in QuickTime Pro. And still export them relatively fast to their latest H264 format.
I gave more file types to the Media Player Classic. I think along the line of the just the *.3g2 and *.mp4 and took them away from QuickTime but still keeping the *.mov, *.qt and *.mqv file types .... and that is when I think everything must have changed. all of a sudden I can not save any *.hdmov files and the export process in QuickTime takes longer than forever.
I thought that I had reconfigured Media Player Classic back to its default ....
and it should all go back to being how it was.
Is there some Direct Show filter or codec that upsets QuickTime Pro ... that I might have not reset back to what it was?
Any codec help would be much appreciated.
This is what the K-Lite site says in one instance about H264:
If the video that you are playing contains H.264 video, then you could try using another decoder. The codec pack by default uses ffdshow for decoding H.264 video. This is a free and open-source decoder. Other decoders exist that have better performance as ffdshow. They should give you smoother playback, specially if you have a dual-core or quad-core processor.
Alternative H.264 decoders are:
CoreAVC. This decoder is unfortunately not available for free.
DivX H.264 decoder. This decoder is available for free as part of the DivX Bundle. Tip: disable everything in the bundle except the H.264 decoder.
ffmpeg-mt. This is an experimental multi-threaded version of the libavcodec decoding library, which is used by ffdshow. You can select ffmpeg-mt as decoder in ffdshow video decoder configuration.
MPC DXVA H.264 decoder. This is an internal decoder of Media Player Classic Homecinema. It uses your graphics card to perform most of the decoding process, resulting is a very low CPU usage. You can enable this decoder though: MPC Options -> Internal Filters. Note: this decoder has some specific requirements.
I downloaded the DivX bundle and will pull out that codec. I bought the CoreAVC for $13 but Norton said it was a risky file when I downloaded it ... (I have a question into the site about that) and I will try the ffmpeg-mt codec as well as see what they say about the last one. I will also try to undo everything I did that happened I guess before QuickTime started to export so slow that it is not even worth it to try and convert a mov file into H264.
Sorry so long ... I just was trying to lay out the things I have attempted, will attempt to try and improve the situation.
Thanks again very much if anyone makes it thru this ... geez .. sorry.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

TV/Monitor 15LV63B RESET?

I have been given a Television/monitor 15lv63b BUT I cannot use it because 1. I have no original Remote 2. The Buttons on the top of the TV are "Panel Locked"
How can I reset the Panel lock or access the menu system to reset any PIN etc. Is there a default reset option or any other way of making this menu system available?

Does this have anything to do with the codec being Apple ProRes?
The frame rate must work with NTSC - that is, it must be 29.97

edit: any particular reason for using the HQ variant?

Impact of resetting region in CUCM

CUCM version is 10.5.2. I have created a new region and have done intra & inter region configuration. Now the new region has configuration that affects the existing regions (like max bit rate between the new region & the old regions). I have assigned this new region to a new device pool. Existing regions has its own device pools and there are hundreds of devices in the existing device pools. New region needs to be reset for the configuration to take effect.
My question is - if I reset the new region, what will be the impact. Will it affect the existing devices in the existing device pools. I would like to confirm as this system is in production.

To make it little more clear....
Reg1 --> DP1 --> Device1
Reg2 --> DP2 --> Device2
Reg1 is configured as follows -
within Reg1 - Default audio codec preference list, 64kbps for audio, 384kbps for video, 32256kbps for immersive
Reg1 to Reg2 - Default audio codec preference list, 128kbps for audio, 384kbps for video, 6000kbps for immersive
My question is - if I reset Reg1 (only the region not the DP), will it impact/reset Device2 (in DP2 --> Region2).
Thanks in advance.

Auto Answer will NOT stay on after power cycle or reset - C20 TC7.3.0 UCM 10.5SU1 registration

As the title suggests, I've got 2 C20 codecs running the latest 7.3.0 code I can download registered to UCM 10.5.1 SU1. Power cycling or resetting them causes the auto-answer to default to off. There is still no way to change auto-answer from within UCM, and TMS cannot manage the device anymore.
I've found a couple of instances of this with older TC and UCM code, but it seems this issue continues today.
Any ideas?

Saw that and it ended up being the right direction, but since I was on a different version I wasn't able to use that device pack.
So, I found out the following from TAC:
Auto-Answer became a configurable field presented to UCM in TC7.2.x, but the appropriate management fields on the web pages didn't become available until later in the device pack. I read through a couple of device pack readme's and I didn't see anything related, but sure enough installing 10.5.1.11005-2 presented the fields and that works fine now.

Hi everybody
I did the following to solve ALL problems I had with crashes, file reading errors, AJA video preview, switching to other software etc.
(@Todd: refering to the other blog, all these problems are solved as well! I work with QT movies and MXF.)
– Deleted all DVCpro components
– Reset PRAM
– Repaired Permissions in Safe Mode
– Deleted AE prefs when starting AE
Now I can switch and play around like I always did.
And even my AJA output stays there when getting back to AE.
Thanks for your support and help!
