Saving completed file for opening in another program

I have been using Pinnacle Studio 10.7 because it allows me to produce HD-DVD on regular DVDs. (The drawback is the approximate 20-minute time max on each DVD.) I'd like to start doing work in Premiere, then save my work to a file that I can simply open and immediately write to a DVD without losing HD quality.
What file type is best for saving my work in HD quality that can be reopened by another program without liosing that quality. I've thought that a workaround might be to simply write the new file to tape and then recapture in Studio. Can anyone help me, please? Thank you!

There is a way to fool Premiere Pro into writing the file. Just start the process, and while it is transcoding, disconnect the camera. You will eventually get an error message. Before you click OK you rename the file so Premiere Pro can't delete it.
That makes a perfect M2T file that can be used without having to recapture.
By the way, you can use many different utilities to write a data file to the DVD-ROM. I use WMV or M2T files on a DVD-ROM since my player supports them.

  • The action cannot be completed because the file is open on another program

    I experience a weird issue.
    I have Windows 2008 server. Created 2 shares on the server. Every day starting between 2 and 7 PM i cannot save or rename files and folders at the root of the share. I have no problem to rename files in sub folders. This issue happens if i trying to rename
    file on vie server console, or accessing the share from Windows 7. no issues from Windows XP. the error i get: "the action cannot be completed because the file is open on another program"
    I don't have any software running on that server except Backup Exec that runs backup at night. I uninstalled Antivirus, still same issue.
    Please help.

    Hi, 
    The folder rename operation fails because thumbcache.dll still has an open handle to the local thumbs.db file and does not currently implement a mechanism to release the handle to the file in a more dynamic and timely fashion.

  • How to test if a file is opened by another program?

    Hello,
    i wrote a program copying files and folders like in the 'powerfolder' app.
    i tried to copy an odt file, while an older version was open in the destination folder., ang i got this:
    Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: ... (Access is denied)
    I printed this:
    System.out.println(" " + cfile.canExecute() + " " + cfile.canRead() + " " + cfile.canWrite()+ " " );
    resulting: true, true, true
    So, i could write the file, while it is opened, said the Java 6...
    How can i test wether it is opened by another program?
    Thanks...

    Try to open it. If it's open by another program you will get a java.io.FileNotFoundException 'Access is denied'.Oh, i user a FileInputStream, and an exception was throwned.
    I thought, i can test it using some kind a boolean method...
    using a try block to test wether a file is opened by another program is a little bit strange to me...

  • How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
    My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
    I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

    Thanks Spencer.
    I downloaded it, etc. and that didn't work. 
    It actually seems to work the same way as before I downloaded that driver, meaning, it prints but leaves it in the "# Document Pending" status.
    Since the wireless HP print server isn't working (No connectMgr.exe file) there's no connection and therefore the doc won't print.
    RE: Print/Server software out of date.  The software was working for many months after originally installing it on this laptop.  Then it just stopped.  Now it can't find the .exe file and that's odd.  
    If I could find that file I could just save it where it needed to be and I'd be good to go.
    Thanks for the help.
    Going to uninstall and reinstall again, just for fun.  I'll report back.

  • Need Help With Exporting EPS Files That Will Be Opened In Another Program

    I am trying to export some files from Illustrator in EPS format, to be used in another program called "Blufftitler". Their documentation is pretty sparse and doesn't go into much detail. It only mentions the following:
    "Limited support
    BluffTitler has limited EPS support. It only imports filled shapes built out of lines and curves from uncompressed, unoptimized EPS files."
    No matter what settings I try in Illustrator when exporting the EPS file, it won't open in Blufftitler, and keeps throwing me errors. I tried Choosing "Illustrator 3" as the format, and turning off the preview option. I also tried "expanding" the shape itself several times too. Is there some other way in Illustrator to just export a bare-bones EPS files without any extras or other stuff that might cause problems with other programs?
    The funny thing is, when I create EPS files with another program, such as Vector Magic, they work fine in Blufftitler - it just seems to have a problem with EPS files created in Illustrator specifically.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    The main problem is with BluffTitler is it doesn't have a very good eps handler as it can really only import eps files that are about 10k each and are not overly complex. If you look at all the sample .eps files that come with it, each one is about 1 or 2k each. A simple circle in Illustrator, even when saved as v3 without a preview, is around 258k. The reason for the larger file sizes is due to the extra things being saved in the file that aren't even on the page, such as brush presets and graphic styles. The sample .eps files that come with BluffTitler don't have these presets so the files are already smaller.
    Something you may want to try is to open up one of the sample eps files and use that file for your vector work but save the file with a new name. I found that by doing this I could get the files down to a much smaller size. You may also want to setup any vectors in Illustrator first, save them, and then open the files in InkScape, http://www.inkscape.org. From what I've read, InkScape can get you fairly small file sizes so it's something you should check out.

  • HT1923 when right-clicking C/Program Files (x86) Bonjour, it say the folder or a file in it is open in another program.  How do I overcome this?

    am trying to uninstall all components of itunes, according to the apple support guidelines, as itunes was not recognising my iphone, although windows was recognising it.  I am going through all the steps accordingly, but there isn't a note about what to do if this happens.  Where else could Bonjour be open so that I can close it?
    Thanks!

    Handle is a tool that can help you to find out which program has a particular file or directory open. The tool is available here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx
    I hope this helps.
    -a
    Dump information about all types of handles, not just those that refer to files. Other types include ports, Registry keys, synchronization primitives, threads, and processes.
    -c
    Closes the specified handle (interpreted as a hexadecimal number). You must specify the process by its PID.
    WARNING: Closing handles can cause application or system instability.
    -l
    Dump the sizes of pagefile-backed sections.
    -y
    Don't prompt for close handle confirmation.
    -s
    Print count of each type of handle open.
    -u
    Show the owning user name when searching for handles.
    -p
    Instead of examining all the handles in the system, this parameter narrows Handle's scan to those processes that begin with the name process. Thus:
    handle -p exp
    would dump the open files for all processes that start with "exp", which would include Explorer.
    name
    This parameter is present so that you can direct Handle to search for references to an object with a particular name.
    For example, if you wanted to know which process (if any) has "c:\windows\system32" open you could type:
    handle windows\system
    The name match is case-insensitive and the fragment specified can be anywhere in the paths you are interested in.

  • Read a file in labview already open in another program

    Hi,
    I am using labview to read a text file, also there is one more software(not lab view) is writing to the same file which I am using to read.My problem is that ,is it possible to read a file which is already openned by another software ?
    Thanks,
    Sachin Kudari

    Hi Sachin,
    that depends on that other software...
    - When writing to a file usually it is opened with exclusive access rights to the writing software. No other software can open the file simultanously.
    - The file may be opened with non-exclusive access by the writing software. Then LabVIEW may access the file too.
    - The file may be opened with exclusive access rights by the writing software for each write access and released when write access is finished. Then LabVIEW may open the file in parallel, but errors may occure for simultanous file access from both parties...
    It's never a good idea to share one resource (your file) for several requests (your different executables). It may work (with several conditions), but it doesn't need to.

  • How to read data from a file that is already open by another program

    Hey..
    I have made IV, where I'm trying to read data from a log file, that is being updated by another program while my IV runs.
    To be clear, this program writes data continuously to this file and I want to read from the file in LV at the same time.
    The problem is that LV reports an error when I'm trying to read the log file, even if I use to "read only" mode.
    I believe that the program that is producing the file, have some kind of lock on the file. I have tryed to copy the file and then reading from the copied file, but LV throws already an error when I try to copy the file.
    Has anyone tryed this, and found a solution.?
    Additional info: The program that produces the file is STM Studio 
    Best Regards
    Allan

    Hi Alha,
    when that file is locked by the other program you can't do anything about that - apart from quitting that other program. Probably this isn't an option to you…

  • How to handle DPX files for transfer to another party across the country.

    Hi,
    I'm currently working with somebody that is on the other side of the country to do some positing work for my Premiere Pro progect.  There are 31 shots that need some compositing work.  I have already created the DPX files that I will be sending him, however, the total size of all project files is 33gigs.  Now, I decided to zip the files up and send that way.  Then it hit me, when I zipped up the thousands of individual DPX files I will be sending him, the compressed way down, like 8-1 (from 33gb to 7gb). The full project ended up being  I sent him one small batch of files, he opened them, and said they did not seem as though they lost any resolution, but I'm more concerned with color information being lost.  So, my question is this...When I zipped up the files, did I lose anything.  The unzipped back to the appropriate size (roughly 9mb per frame), and he said he could not see any loss in the image.  However, my concern is that when I go to bump up exposure on a couple of shots that were lost, Im going to be dealing with artifacting, and working with a lot less information than the original DPX files contained. 
    Did I lose information when I zipped up the DPX files?  
    Please help.  I may end up just fedexing him a hard drive full of media, but then I have to worry about shipping a flash drive with my media on it. 
    Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL assistance. 

    Did I lose information when I zipped up the DPX files?
    Nothing at all.
    ...my concern is that when I go to bump up exposure on a couple of shots that were lost, Im going to be dealing with artifacting, and working with a lot less information than the original DPX files contained.
    Zip only compresses the binary data that makes up the image...
    there is no compression of the image at all.
    After your co-worker completes the composites,
    he should zip them up to send them back to you.
    No worries.  I do this all the time.

  • Creating text for scroll in another program?

    I've got lotsa text to scroll, i.e., credits. Can I create 'em in another program without having to spend the next WEEK using the unfriendly 'control' tab? Does FCP recognize returns, centering etc as far as text goes? Is there a better way to do this? The documentation does not address this issue as far as I know...other than QT text track.

    You can create your credits in photoshop. Export the file as .png and it's already alpha.
    Or have you tried using Boris text instead of the basic text tool?

  • Any tips on reducing saved pdf files for emailing?

    I have an imac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I want to send a particular company 2 pdf documents I have scanned and saved to the desk top. The email keeps bouncing back. I have reduced the two attachemnts to one- but that doesnt work either. I cant seem to find a way to reduce the size of the pdf attachemtns. I read on line to go into Preview, file, export and choose the reduce option there- but if I go inot Preview, file - I dont have an export option.
    Any solutions gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Those are almost certainly scans embedded within a PDF container file.  Either transfer the files via Dropbox or another file-sharing service, or re-gengerate the scans using lower resolution scan or (maybe) changes to the contrast settings in the scanner, or try compressing the scans (if the scans are not already compressed, as various tools that wrap scans in PDFs will attempt that).
    FWIW, I'm going to guess that this question isn't an OS X Server question but more likely a question involving 10.6 and mail, and you're not looking to adjust the maximum mail message size quotas for the mail messages traversing the mail server within an OS X Server system.  If you are, then that's usually via Server Admin.app or Server.app or manual commands issued at the Terminal.app prompt, depending on the version of OS X Server involved.

  • How to change application for opening an online program?

    I am trying to open an online program for which I have previously downloaded a plug-in required to open and utilize this online application, however, my computer must be set to a default to open the program with ScriptEditor, which is not compatible for running this online program I need to use. Does anyone know how I can change these settings to open the program with my downloaded plug-in versus the ScriptEditor? Any help would be appreciated.

    If it’s actually an online program, it’d run in your web browser instead of being downloaded to your computer.
    If you downloaded a Windows program file, it can’t be run outside of Windows, CrossOver Mac, or Wine.

  • Saving movie files for video I Pod

    I hope you can help me with an issues of trying to save a home movie into the right format so that I can transfer the movie to my new I pod video. I have been trying to use Final Cut Pro Express HD to save the movie file. I saved the file as m4v file. Was able to drag it into the I tunes library but I was not able to drag the file from the library and into the I Pod.
    Can I use Final Cut Pro Express to save the right format? How do I get it into my I Pod?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Bill,
    I was finally able to save a movie in FCE and get it in 5g I Pod. I frist saved the file in FCE as a I pod file an m4v. "Export" and then "Video for iPod".
    The video is not only exported as a .m4v file
    but is also sized correctly for playback on the the iPod (320x240).
    Drag the file into the i Tunes library. After dragging the video file to the iTunes library you have to add it to an existing playlist or create a new playlist for it, the same way you do for music. Create a new playlist file, video,and drag it in.
    The last step was the part i was missing.
    If you manually manage your audio files, you must manually manage your videos. If your iPod automatically updates your audio files, you must choose one of the two automatic update options for video or choose not to update videos.
    Open iTunes 6 and drag your new movie file icon to the iTunes library in the Source list. To learn how to browse and view videos in iTunes, click here. Note: iTunes won't let you drag the movie to the Video playlist, but once you drag it to the Library, it will automatically appear in the Video playlist. You can also drag the video file to a playlist you create. I was not able to drag the file from the library to my I Pod which I have heard more than once that you can. So try that.
    Here is a site that will help.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
    I would recommend taking a look at the current Mac Pro Podcast where they have a demo showing the steps to getting video converted to the iPod format.
    (http://www.bclip.com/macpro/MacProPodcast13.m4v) I was not able to drag the file out of my library and into my ipod.
