Source file has bad header

I'm new to using AME. I'm trying to convert WMV file to FLV. I have 5 files that were all recorded with GoTo Meeting by the same person on the same day. The files were saved to a shared drive. Now when I try to add them to AME to convert them, only two files worked. I received the following error message for the other three:
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks Jim Simon.
I re-opened my files with "bad headers" in Windows Live Movie Maker, and re-saved them (with a different name.)
This fixed the problem

Media Encoder CS5 - Source File has a Bad Header

I've got a system demonstration recorded as a .wmv file. I tried adding it to Adobe Media Encoder and I get the following message: "The source file has a bad header. Please check that it is a valid file."
Here is my file name: Web App III part 1.wmv
I even tried changing the file name to: WebApp3Rec1.wmv
It still won't work. Help!

Hi, a little more info that may help. I have saved PowerPoint 2010 files as .wmv on one computer and if I then try to convert them using Adobe Media encoder on a different computer I get the same bad header message as you. (First computer running vista, second running W7.) However, if I use the second computer to save the PowerPoint file as a .wmv then Media Encoder has no trouble converting it.
It is very frustrating.

Is there a way to check whether an Excel file has a header or not?

Hi!
I'm currently using POI Utility to read and write Excel files.
You normally use the HasHeaderRow = true / false to specify whether the file has a header or not.
Now, let's say I have a program that needs to read Excel files from a directory, some have headers, some don't.
Is there a way to know dynamically whether a header has been defined or not?
Then, for those having headers, the flag will be set as true, while for those which don't have any header, the flag will be set as false.
E.g.

    <cfset objPOI = CreateObject(
        "component",
        "POIUtility"
        ).Init()
        />

<cfset currentDirectory = GetDirectoryFromPath(GetTemplatePath()) & "newDir">

<cfif DirectoryExists(variables.currentDirectory)>
     
     <cfdirectory action="list" directory="#variables.currentDirectory#" type="file" filter="*.xls" name="qDirectory">
     
     <cfif variables.qDirectory.recordcount gt 0>
          
     <cfloop query="variables.qDirectory">
               
                    IF headerExists THEN
                         headerFlag = true
                    ELSE
                         headerFlag = false
                    END IF
               
            <cfset objSheet = objPOI.ReadExcel(FilePath = #variables.qDirectory.name#, HasHeaderRow = #variables.headerFlag#, SheetIndex = 0) />
          </cfloop>
     </cfif>
</cfif>
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks and regards,
Yogesh Mahadnac

Hi cfSearching,
Many thanks for your reply! I really do appreciate!
However, I've still got 1 more question for you.
At the moment, I'm using POI and sometimes cfx_Excel2Query to read Excel files.
In both cases, you have to specify whether the first row is a header.
How would you read the Excel file to check whether the 1st row is the header?
I've tried using cffile, but I get all sorts of "garbage"
        <cffile action="read" file="#variables.filename#" variable="xlsResult">
        <cfloop index="i" list="#variables.xlsResult#" delimiters="#chr(13)#&#chr(10)#">
            <cfif variables.i eq 1>
                <cfoutput>
                    Test 1st Row: #trim(replacenocase(listgetat(variables.i,1,","),'"',"","All"))#
                </cfoutput>
            </cfif>
        </cfloop>
I get the following output:
ÐÏ à¡± á��.... etc etc
I'd be very much grateful if you could please advise on the latter at your earliest convenience.
Thanks and best regards,

My exported 2015 iMovie file has bad quality.

Hello.
I just got a new MacBook pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Using iMovie 10.0.7 (the latest version to my knowledge.)
I realize that this question has been beaten to death all over the internet, but I haven't made any headway STILL. I just completed an edit that looks AMAZING in iMovie, and when I export it, the file is very distorted. I'm exporting at the highest quality (1080p) and the file ends up being 8GB (8 minute movie) which I would think a big file like that would produce good quality.
I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the upload (notice the distortion and grainy-ness during motion, again looks AMAZING in iMovie.)

iMovie file has bad quality.
hmmm, really?
I pick up a scene ...
<click for fullsize>
This is a 'killer' for any encoder! Those ultra-soft gradient in the sky shows no banding!
Not to say: superb! Compare to a less encoded version:
<click for fullsize>
you see? THAT is bad quality! Tons of banding in the sky...
... post a scene, which doesn't fullfill your standards …
btw: what camera in use? settings? a GoPro I assume, those 'cinema' settings?
PS: you let YT play it in as 720/1080? ....

Importing when source file has a new line

Hi,
While importing a pipe " | " delimted (will apply to any delimter) text file, I have Long text field from source system which is having Product Descriptions in it. Users have enterd the data in multiple lines in that field in the source system, which is a valid case .
When we have extracted the data from source & trying to Import in Import Manager, the "enter" is taking a new line & hence as a new row. How do I import the data keeping the new lines in MDM?
Product_Id|Description|Language
001|Test 1|EN
002|Test
2|EN
003|Test 3|GB
here the Product Id 002 should be imported in text large field with description having the new line character.
Thanks,
Ketan

Ok so the best way is to extract your data from SQL server as XML format into this kind of format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Products>
<Product>
    <Product_Id>001</Product_Id>
    <Description><<![CDATA[ Test 1]]></Description>
    <Language>EN</Language>
</Product>
<Product>
    <Product_Id>002</Product_Id>
    <Description><<![CDATA[ Test
2]]></Description>
    <Language>EN</Language>
</Product>
<Product>
    <Product_Id>003</Product_Id>
    <Description><<![CDATA[ Test 3]]></Description>
    <Language>GB</Language>
</Product>
</Products>
It is the only way to handle carriage return in Import Manager; with delimited text it is not possible.
Let us know.

Restoring images when source file has been removed

Hi - I've been working on a wedding where I imported a load of TIFFs into Lightroom and did some work on them. I've since accidentally deleted the folder containing the source TIFF files, but I can see the "worked" thumbnails still in Lightroom.
Is it possible to apply the settings that Lightroom seemingly stores about each image to a new raw image to make a new set of TIFFs?
Cheers
Gary

Judith, that should do it! Just create Tiffs named as before with no new adjustments. Might truly fool LR back to where you want it.

How to sort source file beforfe mapping

Dear all,
Its a file (fixed length) to Idoc(FIDCC1) scenario.
Source file has the following fields:
Date
Account
Cost Center
Debit Amount
Credit Amount
Etablissement
The mapping requirement is:
1. Per 'Etablissment' code, an Idoc(FIDCCP01) has to be generated.
2. Per IDOC, segment E1F1SEG has to be created for each line in flat file, for their respective etablissment code.
Per line in the flat file the difference between the debit and credit amount is the amount that has to be posted per segment (posted amount is always positive). If zero no segment is created
3. Date and Account fields would go into fields in segment E1FIKPF, this segment will not repeat, there'll be only one segement per idoc (like header data)
Now the issue is:
The source file is not sorted per etablissment code.
Etablissment can has value 001 in 1st and 3rd record and 002 in 2rd and 4th record. in this case, We need to create 2 idocs, 1 for code 001 and another for 002. Each IDOC should have 2 segments of E1FISEG, corresponsding to their etablissment code.
then for each idoc, the first record details should go to E1FIKPF segment of idoc.
I could create Idoc based on code, by the following mapping,
Etablissmentcode -> remove context -> sort -> split by value (value changed) -> collapse context -> IDOC
But i'm cluless as to how to go about with the logic of E1FISEG segment creation and populating other fields of E1FIKPF.
Please help me out. Is it achievable thruogh graphical mapping?

Hi ,
Please use the below logic for mapping
1. for creating IDOC=
Etablissement>sort>splitbyvalue(value change)>collapse contextIDOC
2. to create as many segment as of number of line item
Etablissement>sort>splitbyvalue(value change)-segment
3. foe each element under the segment
Etablissement>sort bye key>splitbyvale(each value)--> corresponding account at IDOC
Account-->
hope this will solve you problem.
thanks

Relink source file

I've imported a Photoshop file into Captivate 7. Captivate converted it to a PNG in the Library.
Then I edited the original Photoshop file.
There are a couple of commands I hadn't noticed in previous versions: "Edit PDF Source File" and "Update from Source"
When I choose Update from Source a message appears:
"Unable to update since the source file is mising. Relink the source file before you proceed."
The location of the source file has not been moved or renamed since it was imported into Captivate, so I don't know why I'm getting that message. I can't find an explanation anywhere as to how to "relink."
Is there an easy way to relink (or do I have to re-import the file, resize, reposition, etc)?

Jay, I'm always importing assets first to the Library, rarely direct to the stage. And when importing to the Library, when possible I'll take the original file: WAV for audio, PSD for Photoshop etc. If you import a PSD-file, you'll be able to choose for a flattened image (as was the case for the screenshot) or to import with all layers. In both cases the flattened image, or the layers will each be converted to a PNG-image, but you'll keep the 'link' with the source file, in the same way as you can have a link with a PPT. In previous versions roundtripping with the source file was only avalaible in the eLS, but now it is there if you have Photoshop CS6 or CC installed on your system. I have several PSD-files with many layers. One example: for localisation I'll have text layers in the PSD in different languages, and import those layers (flattened or not) that I need in a specific file. Same with colours, masks, layer styles... My first Adobe love was Photoshop, not Captivate You understand that I love that roundtripping with the source file.

ODI to delete those members which are not present in the source file

Hi John,
Using ODI we can delete members by using delete option in the Operation column
Fine. I would like to delete members from planning which are not there in the source file.
For e.g if my source file has members A1,A2,A3,and A4 and Planning outline has A1,A2,A3,A4,A5 and A6. I would like to delete only A5 and A6.

Hi John,
Its only a one time process. The issue is, we have to concatenate two segments of the COA into one dimension in Planning. But if we concatenate it creates a cartesian product which is not the requirement. Only a particula value of segment 1 are to be joined with segment 2.
E.g Company 1 is to be joined with Cost center 1.
Company 2 with Cost center 2
Company 1 should not get joined with Cost Center 2 and Company 2 with Cost Center1.
So when we use ERPI and load the first outline it creates all the possibilities of the concatenation. So we would like to delete the unrequired members. If we have the values of the required members in a file, I would like to delete the unrequired members in the planning hierarchy.
So would like to use the NOT IN function

Folio Builder: An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.

I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
The exact error message is as below:
An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks
Steve
