Sanyo VPC 1000HD H.264 Not Compatible with QuickTime or FCP
I recently aquired the Sanyo Xacti-VPC 1000HD.
From the results I've observed so far, it's a terrific camera for the price.
My problem, and I know this has been touched in this forum to a limited degree, is that FCP and QuickTime see the MP4 (H.264) files generated by this camera as green screens.
Sanyo suggests that regressing to QuickTime 7.1.6 is the way to go since it supposedly works while the newest update QuickTime 7.2 strangely only creates a green screen... and some user bad language.
I was hoping my upgrade to Leopard (wow 300+ improvements) would cure this issue with FCP 6.0 but noo, green is "in" these days and that's all FCP 6.0 will show me when I import any of those files.
No doubt this situation will be rectified over time and I know this camera is relatively new to the market BUT I would like to find a means of cutting it's output NOW.
I tried the one solution offered in an earlier posting of regressing to QuickTime 7.1.6.
It did sorta work briefly (choppy video playback but no green screen) but later launches of FCP 6.0 just resulted in FCP launch aborts.
Another poster suggested that iMovie '08 w/QT 7.2 handled Sanyo h.264 files okay but apparently iMovie '08 on my MacBookPro (purchased spring 2007) prefers green as well.
I do hope someone can forward a workable solution as I really like this camera.
They have a demo video available at through the Sanyo site of some music performance that proves someone is doing nice editing with the Sanyo VPC-1000HD h.264 files, though I have no idea what technology they are using?
Anyway, any and all responses would be greatly appreciated.

About QTs encoding size the clip is not forced to 4:3 resolution of 320x240, instead it is resized to fit in the boundaries of a 320x240 rectangle. i.e. a 640x268 clip I had, was resized to 320x134.
-it supports non-mod16 resolutions like the one above or 317x240.
found some info on profiles:
QuickTime only supports up to Main Profile. None of the High Profile settings such as 8x8 intra are supported by Apple. If you try to encode your x264 video with these settings, it will NOT play on QuickTime.
AVC/H.264 Profiles
The AVC/H.264 standard defines four different Profiles: Baseline, Main, Extended and High Profile (which themselves are subdivided into Levels):
- Baseline Profile offers I/P-Frames, supports progressive and CAVLC only
- Extended Profile offers I/P/B/SP/SI-Frames, supports progressive and CAVLC only
- Main Profile offers I/P/B-Frames, supports progressive and interlaced, and offers CAVLC or CABAC
- High Profile (aka FRExt) adds to Main Profile: 8x8 intra prediction, custom quants, lossless video coding, more yuv formats (4:4:4...)
Does anyone have more info on the specs of Baseline 1.3?
Google was not my friends on that one.

How do you burn a video file not compatible with quicktime?
Hello all,
I am very new at this so I apologize if the solution is very simple - i just can't seem to work this iDVD thing...
I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find exactly what I need, please point me in the right direction if a solution has already been posted elsewhere.
Okay, so my problem is trying to burn movies to DVD. I don't actually have to use iDVD, but it's the only solution i've come up with. My problem is when I add a movie file (lets say, something that will ONLY OPEN with VLC), and press preview, no movie files show up... but when i put in a video file that will play with quicktime, the preview works fine.
So i suspect the preview wont play because the file is not compatible with quicktime.
have any of you tried this? All i want is to be able to play a downloaded movie on the dvd player downstairs
regards,
PeteriDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

Vista64 not compatible with quicktim 7.1.6
Hi there,
I bought a q6600 with os vista premuim 64bit
My problem is that quicktime does noet run every mov file.
Some mov's are run great others run with 'distortion' and or breaks.
The strange this is if i run those files with nero showtime it works all perfect.
please help me
q6600 Other OS vista64Welcome to the discussions, lightpainter.
You are correct in your subject that QuickTime isn't currently supported under Vista or any 64 bit Windows OS.
There may be users here that can help to solve some problems, but issues will likely remain until QuickTime is compatible with your OS. -
After moving an entire client folder from an external hard drive to an internal one, the client's video, created in adobe premiere elements 10, will no longer open in adobe premiere elements 10. It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
The same thing occurs when attempting to open the archive files.
New projects, and unmoved projects behave properly.
Moved projects receive this error.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on a solid state drive (SSD) (c:/), where premiere elements is installed
My documents, including the project I need to work with are on my "storage" drive (HDD). it is (f:/)txnoda
Archiving Aspects of this.....
First let clear the matter of the "archiving" as a life saver.... We do not appear to be on the same wave length.
a. I am talking about File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archive project and Copy project options. This feature is a safety net to save you when you
inadvertently disconnect source media from the project file. With the Archive option (Trimmed Folder result), you get saved to the computer hard drive (safe keeping) a copy of the project file plus copies of the media that were taken to the Timeline. With the Copy option (Copied Folder result), you get copy of the project files plus copies of much more.
b. Instead, you appear to be talking about "archiving" in the context of AutoSaves. AutoSaves are saved snapshots of the project at various phases of the edit. They suffer from the same shortcomings of the original project that has been disconnected from its source media.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But, those copies need to trace back to originals at the locations where they were when first imported into the project. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders that went into the project after the project save close leads to some very time consuming messy situations.
What to do....
If you can, put everything back the way it was. If not.....
Let me emphasis some factors..

Here you mention specifically "client's video". Later you detail with .mod files converted to .avi. What kind of .avi? If you have converted to AVCHD.avi or H.264.avi, they have been found not to be compatible with Premiere Elements. You should not be able to import them into any new or old project.
From what you described, I am envisioning
"Video" Folder
which contains 2 folders named
"Timestamped Folder" with .avi files
and
"DVD" Folder with the project file (project.prel)
The project file has many files generated automatically in the course of it workflow. Where do you have them going?
(See Premiere Elements 10 Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs). If you have the Scratch Discs directed
"Same As Project", then we would expect all those files to be going to the DVD Folder in the above scenario.
If we could open the project and get greeted with some "Where is the file.....?" messages, that might give us some hope.
But that is not the case.
Consequently from what you have said, I am suggesting that the path of least resistance is try to recreate the "before".
Please review and consider.

CS5: Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosh
After several hours creating a PSD file in Photoshop CS5 I attempted to revert some changes and got this error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop".
I closed the file and restarted Photoshop and still get this error.
I restarted the computer and still get this error. Now my hours of work are WASTED!
This file was created using Photoshop CS5 Extended and was never in any other software.
Details:
Mac Photoshop CS5 (12.0 running in 32 bit mode)
File had a video layer (h.264)
MaxBook Pro 2.8Ghz
OSX 10.6.3I was able to open the file in Photoshop CS2 and all layers were intact. PS CS2 gave me the message: "A layer is corrupt and will be discarded." Turns out that was the video layer. The file itself was fine and I am again working on it in PS CS5.
Which leads me to ask: If a video layer gets corrupted why can't PS CS5 open it?
PS CS2 had no problem opening the file, it just flatteded the video layer - it even kept the current key frame.
Additional info: Just before the file went bad I made a level adjustment to the video layer and set a keyframe in the animation panel. Then I saved and got the error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosh' in Photoshop Macintosh". Also the source H.264 video file appears to be fine, it's only a 5 second clip and it play fine in every app - even PS CS5. -
E-mailed File "The project is not compatible with the current version of Premiere Elements"
I have Version 12 on a PC.
My friend has Version 12 on a MAC.
E-mailed him a file.
He could not open, and a message box popped up: "The project is not compatible with the current version of Premiere Elements".
Could someone kindly asssit, this does not make sense as to why it is not opening, since both computers are using the same version.
Thank you,

As said, you cannot open a Premiere Elements 12 Windows project file (named project.prel) in Premiere Elements 12 Mac. And vice versa.
Details
Given that your source is imported into a Premiere Elements 12 Windows project and placed on its Timeline for edit. That Timeline content cannot get out of the program without export. Export choices are found in the Publish+Share section of the program.
In your case, you want to take the Timeline content of Premiere Elements 12 Windows and export it to a format with which Premiere Elements 12 Mac supports (look at .mov or .mp4). In this regard, in Premiere Elements 12 Windows look at Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and one of its .mp4 presets or Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime and one of its .mov presets (suggested H.264 video codec).
Those exports will be saved to the computer hard drive of the Windows computer. Then email the .mov or .mp4 file (beforehand, check the
email carrier's specification for that). Depending on the circumstances, you could transfer the file to a USB Flash Drive for the sharing.
Remember, sharing the .mov and .mp4 involves "whole" video. Depending on the edits, the video may need to be cut by the receipent. You are not dealing with the project file. The story would be different if this sharing and editing is done from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Elements Windows. And, if that were the case, then you would have to assure that the source media of the project traveled with the project file. (See Project Archiver feature of the program.)
That is a rough sketch of the situation. I can fine tune the details further if necessary.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.
Maybe. See:

I'm trying to silently upgrade my environment to FF 7. I've gotten the silent install working great, it puts in my Proxy Server info, reassigns the home page and all that.

This is on Windows XPDo you have other virtualization or security software that might protect .ini and possibly other files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and prevent Firefox from updating them properly?
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I want to add another management server to our existing SCOM environment. But whenever I run this setup on a new server I get stuck in the window for selecting the OperationsManager database. The database field stays blank and in the OpsMgrSetupWizard log
there are lines that the setup version is not compatible with the database version. But I use the same installer as when I installed the other management servers a year ago.
Maybe there is a newer setup installer? But I can't find it.

What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.
