Share/export without any re-encoding, possible?

let's say you create a new MPEG4 iMovie project, and drag some DV files of a consisent size and quality into it; they get encoded to mpeg4 during the import. Now say you want to export your movie-- shouldn't there be a setting to simply "copy" the frames rather than re-encode everything? Not only does it take forever and it's redundant, but you loose quality doing so.
I know if you want to resize the clip, or do anything to it, it would HAVE to re-encode it-- but shouldn't there be an option to just use the clips "raw"? Of course, the clips would have be completely consistent, which would be the case if they were DV off of the same camera...
Thanks!

??? me confused...
I still don't understand your workflow, sorry:
iMovie is a consumer video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV/D8 camcorders
no word about "convert it into a playback format first, then create a project in a third codec... " etc...
iM≥5 allows projects in mainly TWO codecs: DV (as on miniDV tapes, bit-identical tape=>Mac, no loss of quality), and mpeg4 (mainly for iSight recordings, low quality, as from some still-cams aible to do "movin' images"..) iM is a consumer app, made for simplicity & convenience, no all-purpose app. stay within concept of app => no fuzz (here...).
2nd)
mpeg4... a file with a mp4 suffix can contain MANY different codecs: plain mpeg4, but also h264.. or divx... or... iM allows in its Expert Settings to choose, WHICH mp4 should be created...
mpeg4 ≠ mpeg4 !!
ALL that codecs are NOT intended as processing files, they are PLAYBACK codecs..
so, it is absolutly useless + lossy (=losing pic quality), to handle any h264 coded material; if you have dv, stay dv.
and: h264 needs an awful lot of encoding power => tiiiiiiiime. if you choose "mpeg4" as project format, and choose h264 as export format, that needs computation, lots of computations.. and creates apparently from mp4 to mp4, as said above
finally:
all that "compressing" does NOT save any diskspace; these processes need an awful lot of diskspace to generate the files... video needs harddrive space - no workaround.

    Hi ,
    can we create transaction request through solution manager having charm configured without assignment of any maintenance  project.
    i n details : i config. charm for managing all daily transaction request from it. for that i was created a Zabc maintenance project.
    so now when ever any new developments come on service desk request it will call for change management request from their and
    after approval developer will create a TR which by default comes under project Zabc for maintenance cycle M0000XX.
    Now i want to get either multiple option to choose different projects or without project . can any one confirm is it possible to create any TR (Dev) without any project assignment or not. If yes please let me know.

    Maintenance Project are used for Maintenance on your "live" business scenarios, checked out from your solution.
    Implementation, Template are used for implementing new functionallity, into a new solution, or additional to a solution.
    Upgrade projects speak for themselves.
    If you start with Maintenance/Implementation/Upgrade/Template projects, as soon as you activate ChaRM (option in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) your are supposed to create a Maintenance Cycle. In relation to the type of project a certain tasklist is created, and thus a maintenance/development cycle is created.
    To those cycles the individual, change documents are "attached" to get a release kind of working.
    So you must have any cycle, Maintenance or Development or Upgrade.
    Kind regards.

  • How to share disks without any volume manager

    Hello:
    Do I have to use volume manager, either Solstice or VxVM, in order to establish disk sharing in between a two-nodes Sun Cluster?
    The Sun Cluster consists of 2 1405s and shares a D1000. The scdidadm �L shows:

    12 solarisd1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t8d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d12
    12 solarisa1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t8d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d12
    13 solarisd1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t9d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d13
    13 solarisa1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t9d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d13

    Without implementing any volume manager, how can I share a disk? Such as disk d13?
    I created a mount point /global13 on both nodes, use command
    # mount /dev/global/dsk/d13s0 /global13
    to mount this device. I can see the disk from both nodes. I created a file on /global13 from node solarisa1k, then, from node solarisd1k, it shows 0 block.
    Thanks in advance.
    Warren

    To mount a device globally, either use # mount �g or use global flag on the /etc/vfstab file.

    As for QuickTime....please go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime and see if you have Presets for that QuickTime choice.
    You will need to scroll down to QuickTime toward the bottom of the Publish+Share/Computer list. Use the thin scroll bar
    to the right of the choices for that. Look for Presets field. It should contain choice of presets for
    NTSC DV
    NTSC DV 16:9
    PAL DV
    PAL DV 16:9
    HD 1080i25, H.264, AAC 48 kHz
    HD 1080i29.97, H.264, AAC, 48 kHz
    After you select one from the list, you should be the default description for the selected preset.
    If all that happens, then you have QuickTime installed.
    Are the missing pictures only from the export file? Do you see these images before export? If so,
    you may be involved in a Windows 8 issue involving MPEG2 support and Windows Media Player.
    What is your player? If only Windows Media Player, then consider using the VLC player to determine
    if that will work for you video and audio wise.

  • How do I export without re-encoding? [PrEl 11]

    I've been searching and having no luck finding an answer to this. Maybe I'm just not finding the right terms. Or maybe I'm missing something obvious. LOL! At any rate, hopefully someone can help me out.
    I go through my original video files and cut out the bad bits and save individual short clips from that which I then use to build the movies. Years ago, I would use VirtualDub for this because it was fast and easy. But getting it to work with modern DSLR files is more hassle than I feel like doing. So I've been using PrEl for this initial step as well. The problem is, I can't see any way to just export the trimmed clips without re-encoding them. It's not a huge deal as the extra re-encode doesn't seem to cause any visible degredation. Still, though, it would be faster and cleaner to simply export the trimmed clips as is without the re-encoding like I did with VirtualDub. Only I can't figure out how to get PrEl to do so. Anyone know?
    Thanks,
    Michelle
    *Waves at the oldies that were on here when I was back when PrEl first came out*

    >No, I'm not (doing what Steve said re:project)
    Yes you are... putting one video on the timeline and marking in/out points to export (share) a new file is editing a project
    Premiere (Elements or Pro) does not alter your original file... the commands you enter in your project (in/out points, etc) simply tell Premiere what to do when you export to a new file... your original file is unchanged

  • Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

    I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
    Thanks
    JDRHC1115

    Dave,
    Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
    be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
    to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
    document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
    when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.

    Subject:        Is it possible to create and save a .PDF
    without any compression to the resulting .PDF?
    You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
    COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
    compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
    Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
    click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
    options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
    want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
    Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

  • Apex 3.0: export a report as .csv file without any Enclosed By character?

    In Apex "Report Attributes page/Report Export" is possible to define the Enclosed By field.
    The default Enclosed By by characters are a double quotation marks (" ").
    Is there a way to export the report as .csv file without any Enclosed By character?
    Example line format:
    a) using default Enclosed By
    "value1";"value2";"value3"
    b) using ('') as Enclosed By
    'value1';'value2';'value3'
    c) using blank space as Enclosed By
    value1 ; value2 ; value
    d) without any Enclosed By character
    value1;value2;value3
    What can we do in Apex to export a report as .csv file with the line format example d)?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    There is no Out of the box feature in Apex to achieve this functionality. But what you can do is write a page process to generate the CSV that you want.
    For this what I will do is on the first page where you press the Button it will call a PL/SQL page process which actually generates the csv. You can keep the existing report only for display purposes. Find the below process which generate the csv that you require.
    begin
    -- Set the MIME type
    owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
    -- Set the name of the file
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.csv"');
    -- Close the HTTP Header
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    htp.prn('columnHeader1,ColumnHeader2,ColumnHeader3'||chr(13));
    -- Loop through all rows
    for x in (
    Select column1,column2,column3 from table;
    loop
    -- Print out a portion of a row,
    -- separated by commas and ended by a CR
    htp.prn(x."column1"||','||x."column2"||','||x."column3"||chr(13));
    end loop;
    -- Send an error code so that the
    -- rest of the HTML does not render
    htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true; --You can leave out this line if you still want to display the existing HTML report.
    end;
    This will show a download box, so you can download the csv file. The page process should be called before header and the condition should be the button press.

    Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
    And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
    It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • How is it possible to draw a graph using without any label along the x-axis

    Hi,
    I created a bar-graph using the tabular data below:
    public List getTabularData() {
    List list = new ArrayList();
    String[] rowLabels = {"Allocation","Forecast", "Bookings", "Loaded"};
    for (int r = 0 ;r<rowLabels.length ;r++ ) {

    if ( r == 3) {
    list.add(new Object[]{"Booking/Loaded",rowLabels[r],new Double(_loaded)});
    return list;
    This is creating a two groups "Alloc/Forecast" and "Booking/Loaded". Group labels are shown in the x-axis.
    But I don't want to show the labels. Instead, only the graph with two groups without any labels in x-axis. How is it possible ?

    User,
