Skipping Timecode/Batch Digitize problem

This just started to happen to me. I do a batch and it self aborts because the timecode is not continious. The tapes are good, the playback gear is good, the FCP software randomly selects areas and "skips". Only recently when I digitize using "uncontrollable device" it digests the video.
Before it would'nt even take that input.
I've been batch capturing without an issue the past six months. Only recently have I been experimenting with XDcam HD, and P2 HD fomats for an upcoming project. It started acting up after I started to take in the P2 HD material.
Could this have corrupted something in FCP? I trouble shot it by sourceing different cameras, cables, tapes... so it's random.
Anyone familiar with this problem?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

So I finally did what you suggested.
I sourced a tape shot a couple of months ago
and I can digitize them fine. Then I shot some broll with the zr600 and attempted to batch digitize it and alas.... it did'nt work. It skipped at different intervals through out the clip. That coupled with my succesful batch using a dvx100 last week makes me want to conclude I have issues with my cheap-o ZR600.
It's still a little sketchy though... why did the old footage playback well, and why does the TC on the newer footage shot on the XHA1 skip when played through the ZR600?
What do you think??

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Batch Capture Problems

Hi,
I'm sorry for the repost, but the older questions I can find on this topic won't allow me to reply and they were never answered (last post several months ago).
I'm having the batch capture problem with Premiere Pro CS5.5. Capture with device control works great when single capturing. When I log clips and attempt to batch capture, though, I get the "capture failed: device not found" error in my capture log. I have checked through the FAQ and the complete premiere manual on batch capturing. I've set my device (still using a Canon XL1) and even checked the video size...it matches that of my project (someone on another forum mentioned that this could be an issue). I have had no luck.
Could anyone tell me if this issue has been resolved, or redirect me to a resolution?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Steve

I have encountered this problem if the current tape position is beyond the last recorded point when you start the batch capture or if any "OUT" points are beyond the last recorded position or if the capture spans any unrecorded portions of the tape. I always thought it was my camera but maybe it is a PPro issue.

Tungsten T digitizer problem

Every time I open my Tungsten T, the digitizer is off and I have to recalibrate. Will AutoDigi 5 help, or is it like Digifix, only working after a soft reset?
Post relates to: Tungsten T

Welcome to the Forum. There some things you can try , I will start with the easy one.
If you have a screen protector that may be what is causing the problem. I have read posts that removing the screen protector and cleaning the rim of the screen with a piece of plain copy paper can solve some screen problems. Residue from the screen protector, dust, or grit can build up and cause a false tap. Also an air bubble under the screen protector can cause a false tap. Test the screen, if its works okay, put a new screen protector on, making sure you don't have any bubbles.
If that doesn't help, recently, five or six members have reported success with file called Power Digiv 2, which they downloaded at www.palmpowerups.com . You don't have to click "Buy", you can download the trial version to your computer and install, and then the next time you Hotsync your digitizer problem will be fixed. They say it is amazing. One Forum member was so impressed that he went ahead and purchased it for $16.95, incase his digitizer went out again and said it was well worth it. When you are at the palmpowerups site click the word "Download" under the third button that PowerDiGi. (Others who may read this please note it does not work on Treos, Power DiGi only works with screen resolutions of 320 X 480.)
If that doesn't help, it means your touch screen/digitizer is going out and problem will get to the point that bottom of the screen (Status Bar and keyboard) won't respond to the stylus and writing in note pad just makes scribbles all over the screen. You can get replacements at www.usedpdaparts.com and for $10.00 they will install it. You also get replacements at www.pdaparts.com and they have directions and videos for installing them yourself.
I had the touch screen/digitizer replaced in one of my T3's, but I didn't know about PowerDiGi back then. Next time, I am going to try it. Best of luck and let us know how you do.

Typical Batch payment problems

Typical Batch payment problems
Can anyone describe the various problems they have faced when running typical batch payment and how they resolved them?

Dear expert,
Currently we are not using tcode F110 for payment transaction. Is there any documentation on how to use transaction F110?.
Thanks.

Batch Capture problems - can't read timecode

I want to log all my clips before capture and then just batch capture it all. Problem is, I get a message that the timecode can't be found.
How can I correct this problem?

I forgot nothing. My list is what is required to begin to log and batch capture. He didn't say it "started to capture but aborted midway through the first clip". He couldn't get started. We could go into a long list of tape based "do's and don'ts" but it didn't seem appropriate until we had some basic information.
We still don't know if the material was originally recorded on the playback cam and/or if he has ever successfully captured using this cam.
Don't you like playing 20 questions too? lol.

Batch input problem in SM35

Dear all,
I am uploading the bank statements using manual bank statements through Z transaction, Once uploaded system is generating the batch input session for the same.
When i run the batch input session system not clearing outgoing payment automatically based on the assignment field, as i have alreday mentioned the same assignment while posting the document and in the excel file.
I am getting the following message while running the batch input session.
No batch input data for screen SAPDF05X 3100
Message no. 00344
Diagnosis
The transaction sent a screen that was not expected in the batch input session and which therefore could not be supplied with data.
Possible reasons:
1. The batch input session was created incorrectly. The sequence of screens was recordly incorrectly.
2. The transaction behaves differently in background processing in a batch work process than when running in dialog (SY-BATCH is queried and changes the screen sequence).
3. The transaction has undergone user-specific Customizing and therefore certain screens may be skipped or processed differently, according to the current user. If the person who created a batch input session is not the same as the person now processing it, this problem may occur frequently.
System Response
None.
Procedure
For 1: Either re-create the session or process it in expert mode. Correct the batch input program.
For 2. It is very difficult to analyze this problem, particularly in the case that the screen sequence or the display-only options of fields differ according to whether the transaction is being processed in the background or as an online dialog. It could also be that this kind of transaction cannot run with batch input.
For 3: Have the creator of the session process it. If no error occurs now, then this is a program with user-specific Customizing.
Please let me know solution for the same.
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
This may not be a solution but may help you to isolate the problem
a) Are you able to load the bank statement for other banks without error ?
b) Try for the same bank in a different system .
c) If it is working for different bank then check the file format is the same for both the banks.
d) If it is working in different system check the ABAP code for any changes between the system,
e) Are you getting this message for all the line items or only for some line items ?

Batch capture problems HDV

Hi we are trying to batch capture HDV 1080i 25fps footage filmed from both a Sony Z1 and Z7 camera in Final Cut Pro 7. The problem comes when we try and batch capture or clip capture logged footage in final cut pro, the tape seems to be stuck in a continuous preroll loop on the first clip that needs capturing, the only way to capture any footage is through capture now. Finally the capture deck we are using is a Sony HVR-M15AE deck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like there may not be enough preroll space on the source tape ie not enough preceding unbroken timecode to allow for the preroll time needed ... if so then you may need to try a shorter preroll for that clip. Check (and possibly edit) the preroll setting in your Audio / Video Settings >> Device Control Preset. (You may just want to create a temporary duplicate preset for this shorter preroll setting).
Hope it helps
Andy

Canon Camera - Batch Capture Problems

Hi. I understand this is a common issue: I am using a Canon XL1 for interviews. I black out the tape in advance to avoid TC breaks, but when I use Batch Capture, I still run into "broken time code" messages. So, I end up using Capture Now, which is less efficient, so far as I can tell. I'm using a G5, 2.3 Gz, Dual Processor. As to Michael Grenadier's answer below, what does a firewire card do?
Thanks, as always!
Scott
This from Michael Grenadier:
There have always been issues with canon cameras. Try capturing with firewire basic device preset and see if that helps. The broken timecode error can also indicate some other thruput problem. Making sure your camera and hard drive are on seperate firewire busses can often help this problem. You need to add your equipment and os/software configuration to your profile to help analyze the problem. If you're using a tower, even though there are multiple firewire ports, there is only ONE firewire bus. Adding a firewire card can help.

Maxx, Thanks. In the past, I've taken the pre-post
TC break approach, but I always end up with an error
and no batch capture. I thought Batch Capture
doesn't work when there are TC breaks? Is there a
setting I'm missing?
We don't have a deck, so we use the XL1. I can try
my small camcorder though.
Very good to know about the XL2 - can we have yours?
hanks!
PLease take them both... I've been looking for an excuse to push for some new gear.
Typically I log all of my clips and then batch them from the browser. That way I can select a couple of clips at a time if the tape is that bad. And it has been before. We've got 1 shooter that likes to review shots but never rolls off any xtra tape before he does this. So everytime does it there's a TC break. But if the tape is bad or just doesn't have solid TC then you may be screwed.
Your camcorder will work just fine. I suggested this b/c that way you would at least know if you have a playback issue with your xl1 or if the tape just doesn't have solid TC.
Take a gander at Kevan's post as well. He asks some good questions and makes some good points as usual. I agree with what he said about blacking the tape. Back in my news days we had to do this and it was to be able to assemble edit deck to deck. No need to do this now though in this day and age of instant gratification. Boy I miss the days of blacking tapes, taking feeds, and sprinting through the news room with a tape as the anchor was leading into the story and tossing the tape to the tape op just in the nick o time... Ahh good times!

Batch processing problems-can anyone help?

Setup: Quadcore, 4GB RAM, 4 internal drives all with plenty of space, Leopard OS, latest version.
Software: CS4 with Photoshop Extended; all updates installed. I also have CS3 installed; only use Bridge and PS in both apps.
Problem: Working in CS4. All edits/crops/corrections done in the Camera Raw window; all edits saved and viewable in Bridge. However, when I use Batch from the Tools dropdown (Tools > Photoshop > Batch), and check all the usual places, select an Action, select a Destination, and hit "Go", the results are totally weird. Some images process as expected, but many are at least two stops overexposed.
All individual files will Open, and can be Saved As manually; all works fine. That is in fact how my assistant and I got the job done tonight. The Batch Action is simplicity itself: Open, Save As (JPEG level 9), and Close file—but if I run Batch on the same files that can be opened and Saved As perfectly, it all goes crazy; three quarters of the files are totally overexposed, in blocks (10–25, roughly), and at random.
I have used the Ctrl + Alt + Shift after opening Bridge; I have run Cocktail; and lit the right incense. But this still will not work properly! Can anyone help???

Batching the same files in CS3 works perfectly, in terms of the processed JPEGs at least being correctly exposed, but the CS4-only edits (like the healing brush) are not recognised, nor are many, tho' not all, of the crops.
I have decided to deactivate and uninstall, then reinstall CS4, after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually, I wait for a few months for others to report on OS update interactions with CS and FCP, but since CS4 as installed was useless and I had done the usual resets of Preferences without any change to Batch Processing's reliability, I felt I could not be worse off.
So, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I will reinstall CS4 (and all apps this time, rather than just PS and Bridge, as I usually do) in case there are soime weird unintended consequences of a Custom install.
Very frustrating and time-consuming, and I wonder what I might have done to create this problem—seeing as no one commented, I can only assume that this is an unique experience.
I will report back today, hopefully.

Oracle Batch update problem

Hi,
I have a queer problem with batch inserts in oracle, loaded on a sun solaris m/c.
I'm trying to do a batch insert using the executeBatch() api of java.
I am able to do batch insertions from my workstation i.e win2k properly . But i'm unable to do so when i run the program on the sun solaris m/c.(The data base is the same)
Since the JVMs are different i have a feeling it could be the oracle JVM that is giving the problem.
Please advice me as to how i can overcome this.

I am having the same problem with a 9i installation on Win2k. My code works fine when run in the Sun JVM on a client. When I try to executeBatch in the Oracle JVM, I get "java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Internal Error: oracle.jdbc.kprb.KprbDBStatement".
I am using what I thought was the standard preparedStatement.addBatch() and preparedStatement.executeBatch() APIs.
I see in the SetExecuteBatch.java example the use of connection.setDefaultExecuteBatch(int) and preparedStatement.executeUpdate(). Is this usage required when running in the Oracle JVM? What if I set my batch size to 10000 but I only have 9000 rows in the last set -- how do I force the batch to execute on the smaller set?

Batch determination Problem in process orders

Dear Friends,
i am getting problem of BD for components in process order that the FIFO sequence is not
showing.
!. I have made settings like Strategy Plant/order type
2. Charecteristic in the class and sort rule LOBM_VFDAT
3. Class assigned to materials.
4. raw materials batches have maintained Ex.date, date of produced(at the time of GR by 561)
5. Order type i have assined search Proc.
in the order strategy info showing sort rule correctly in theprocess order, But the sequence it showing
is neither with GRn date or not with Exp date.
kindly guess what might be the problem...
Regards
Robert

Dear,
For FIFO you can use the Characteristic LOBM_LFDAT for FIFO if is LOBM_VFDAT then in plant storage data 1 view maintain the SELD then assign these Characteristic to class in CL02 then assign this calss to material master.
Then craete sort rule in CU70 withCharacteristic LOBM_LFDAT or LOBM_VFDAT
then assign it to serch strategy in MBC1 or COB1 with selction criatoria.
In OPL8 assign this serch procedure.
Then create the order and check the result.

DTW batch import problem

Hi all,
I've got a problem when trying to batch import from sql statement via odbc:
"Can not connect to ODBC data source" and then "Can not get SQL handler"
Manual import is working well with this odbc connection !
The statement looks like: SELECT ItemCode AS 'Record Key', ItemCode, 'Y' AS 'Properties1' FROM OITM WHERE ItemCode = '4711'
While manually importing I saved the xml and after that call: dtw.exe -s config.xml
I used a SQL (Server 2005) Native Client DSN and only set db auth (sa...) and left other properties as default
Anybody knows this behavior? Is the statement wrong? Or the odbc connection?
(DTW Version 2005.0.0.29)
Thanks in advance
Marco
Edited by: Marco Willems on Jun 29, 2010 6:34 PM

Hi Marco,
I checked this issue using the 2007A DTW (version 2005.0.30) and the 8.8 DTW (version 88.0.11). I haven't had success.
The 8.8 version runs without error but did'nt update my test item. If you run it manually, the DTW reports one updated value. If I run it by a command (DTW -S <File>) it runs fine and reports zero successful update.
I don't know if the DTW is able to run sceduled ODBC updates or not and would hope for an answer to this thread!
All the best

Batch Change Problem

Recently I used batch change to label a folder of photos with a date (AUG 10). This morning when I opened the library I was horrified to find that I must have inadvertently selected ALL the events rather than all the photos in the one event! Every image I have in this library is now AUG 10.
Is there any fix for this ridiculous mistake?
Thanks.

Exactly what are you doing and where is that error coming from
TO restore a Time Machine backup you launch TM and in the TM window go back to the time you want - select the iPhoto library (by default in the pictures folder) and click restore - it is recommended that you use the option to restore to a different location keeping both the restored version and the current problem version until you sort everything out - then you delete the problem version

UME Batch Import problem

Hello,
I have a little strange problem. I created a importfile for users as described in the Administration Guide. I imported it and nothing happend. I tried lots of thing and found the reason.
In the imported passwords are special characters like * and so on. The only character which causes the bproblem is ] If I remove ] from the passwords it works.
Do you know why I can not batch import passwords which contain ] ?
Best regards Matthias

Hi Matthias,
In the current batch import implementation, '[' and ']' are not allowed in any input field (not only the password). This will be improved in the next releases.
Best regards,
Vladimir
