Splitting or Dividing an MP4 file into Separate Files

I have been importing several VHS tapes with Elgato Video Capture to an external hard drive. I have several MP4 files. Some of the movie files have video from different subjects that I would like to split up. When I open them into Quicktime and copy and paste the section I want to a new Quicktime file why can I not just save the file in the format it was copied from?
I don't want to have to import these into iMovie and re-export the video. I already have it in the format and size I want. Is there a way to just grab sections from these files and save them as is?
I'm doing this on my MacBook not my G5 listed in my sig.

When I open them into Quicktime and copy and paste the section I want to a new Quicktime file why can I not just save the file in the format it was copied from?
If you are using QT 7 Pro, you can/are already doing so. However, QT Pro saves the segments in their original compression formats to an MOV file container. If your files are MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC you can perform the same segmentation actions using MPEG Streamclip (free) and save the files to either MOV or MP4 file containers. If you are using QT X for segmentation, then it works essentially the same as QT 7 Pro but by default writes the original data to an MOV file container without the .mov designation.
Also when I export as it take way too long.
The "Export" option normally re-compresses the video which is what takes so long.
Why can't I just save and put in a name? It's already encoded and rendered.
You can. Simply select the icon after it has been saved, click on the name to open the name editing box, and change it to whatever you want as long as the name is valid within file naming restrictions. (e.g., regarding length, characters, etc.)
Why does it have to act like it's a brand new file?
It is a "brand new file." Apple may have done this as part of a "do no harm" approach to prevent novice users from overwriting the original file and, thus, losing their original data for which the user may or may not have further use. As to why it doesn't offer you the opportunity to change the name, maybe you should request this option and a future enhancement. Since the name is easily changed in any case, it is not a "biggie" for me.

Can I separate the pages of one PDF file into separate files

Is there a quick way to separate the pages of a PDF?
For example, I want to take a 10 page PDF, separate the pages and save them as 10 separate files.
I know I can go through and extract each page, but I need to do this with multiple documents that can be over 100 pages and to extract each page one-by-one would be extremely time consuming.

See Thom Parker's latest http://www.acrobatusers.com/tech_corners/javascript_corner/index.php JavaScript Corner http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2008/04/js_extracting_pages/ Extracting pages from a PDF with Acrobat JavaScript for an example of JavaScript that can extract every 4 pages and place them in an email or new file. This code can easily be modified to extract every page.
Or you can download http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15 AbracadabraTOOLS 2.5 to add new menu options to your copy of Acrobat that include splitting a PDF by x pages.

Split a CSV file into separate lines

Hi,
does anyone know how to split the contents of a .CSV file into separate files, one for each line?
Sample "file.csv" contains:
file.csv contains:
file1,22,cat,33,cmyk,new,
file2,22,dog,45,spot,old,
file3,22,mouse,50,cmyk,new,
need this output:
cat.csv
containing:
file1,22,cat,33,cmyk,new,
dog.csv
containing:
file2,22,dog,45,spot,old,
mouse.csv
containing:
file3,22,mouse,50,cmyk,new,
The naming of the files using a certain field would be nice but not critical, I would be happy to just have "file_1.csv, file_2.csv"

Use:
while read line
do
    filename=$(echo $line | cut -f3 -d , ).csv
    echo $line > ~/Desktop/"$filename"
done < "$1"

How To Divide Source File Into Smaller Files Without Exporting?

Hello Everyone,
I'm a beginner with PPro CS4 and to video editing in general. I've done a lot of Googling and searching of these forums to get an answer to this question, but I haven't found a clear answer. Here's my problem:
I have many hours of HDV footage shot over the past few years with a Canon HV30. This footage is on dozens of DV tape cassettes. I want to capture most of it to disk.
When I capture a tape to disk, I get a single large mpeg4 file. (PPro captures all HDV footage to mpeg4.) "Scene select" doesn't work with the HV30, so my only other way to make smaller capture files would be to set In/Out points with batch capture. But this would mean hours of fast-forwarding and reversing with the VCR-like controls on the camera to review all the tapes and set the points. I thought it might be FASTER to simply capture an entire tape in one operation, THEN review the captured tape within PPro (it's much faster using the scrubber), and dividing that file into smaller files within PPro, thereby avoiding all the mechanical fast-forwarding and rewinding on the camera itself.
But the only way I can find to do this seems to involve EXPORTING clips. Am I wrong to think that exporting a clip to a new file involves a degradation of the original mpeg4 source file? Or will there be no loss to the quality if I simply export to mpeg4 format?
It seems there should be an easy way to simply divide the original capture into smaller source files for later editing, without putting the footage through another generation of processing (exporting), which might entail some loss of quality. Or am I wrong about this?
(CS4 Master Suite, i7 3630k, 16GB RAM, C: 256GB SSD, D: 1T Setpoint F3, E: 1T Setpoint F3)

HDV footage is mpeg2 (whats in a number ). CS4 does not do scene detect you need to use HDV split for that.
http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm.
You can run your already captured files through hdv split and it will chop the file into clips and off you go.

AppleScript Split text file into multiple files

I have large text files that I would like to break up into individual files. They are compilations of articles; I want to create a new file for each article, which begins with:
     Document # of #
I don't think any other lines start with "Document" so that might be fine as a delimiter.
Also, it would be great if the new files could be named "LAT_1", "LAT_2", etc.
I found this thread:
AppleScript separating one text file into many at Paragraph break
I tried the second script by twtwtw and changed
set parsingText to "Document"
but got the following error:
error "Can’t get item 2 of {\"LAT 1985-1990 local food copy.txt\"}." number -1728 from item 2 of {"LAT 1985-1990 local food copy.txt"}
I also found this thread but it was too complicated for me to understand. Re: Split a large text file with many entries into separate files
Can anyone help me modify the script? I've been looking at this as well as Unix commands to use in Terminal, but I'm just too much of a beginner.
Any assistance is much appreciated!
Trisha

Hello
Here's a modified version of the script in
Split a large text file with many entries into separate files
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5641125?tstart=0
This will split the given text by delimiter line in the form of "Document # of #" and save each chunk of text from one delimiter to the preceding line of the next delimiter in separate file named after LAT_0000.txt, where 0000 is sequential number starting at 0001.
Note that any text before the first delimiter is ignored and not saved in output file. You may select multiple input files. Existing file in the destination folder is overwritten. Input text is assumed to be in UTF-8 and each line is termitated by U+000A LINE FEED.
set ff to choose file with prompt "Choose input file(s)." with multiple selections allowed
set d to choose folder with prompt "Choose destination folder."
set args to ""
repeat with a in {d} & ff
    set args to args & " " & a's POSIX path's quoted form
end repeat
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & args & "
use strict;
sub usage () {
    printf STDERR \"Usage: %s output_directory file [file ...]\\n\", $0;
    exit 1;
&usage() unless @ARGV > 1;
my $outdir = shift @ARGV;
unless ( -d $outdir ) {
    printf STDERR \"Not a directory: %s\\n\", $outdir;
    &usage();
my $i = 0;
my ($n, $n0, $t);
while (<ARGV>) {
    if ( /^ \\s* Document \\s+ [0-9]+ \\s+ of \\s+ [0-9]+ .* $/ox ) {
        $n = sprintf('LAT_%04d.txt', ++$i);             # e.g., LAT_0001.txt
        if ( $n0 ) {
            open(OUT, '>', \"$outdir/$n0\") or die $!; # overwrite
            print OUT $t;
            close OUT;
        ($n0, $t) = ($n, $_);
    else {
        $t .= $_;
if ( $n0 ) {
    open(OUT, '>', \"$outdir/$n0\") or die $!;          # overwrite
    print OUT $t;
    close OUT;
EOF"
Hope this may help,

Split TempDB Data file into multiple files

Hey ,
I have been seeing TempDB contention in memory on our SQL server 2012 Enterprise Edition with SP2 and I need to split TempDB Data file into multiple files .
Could someone please help me to verify the following information:
1]
We are on SQL server 2012 Enterprise Edition with service pack2 but as per SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition under CAL Licensing –We are limited to use 20 logical processors instead 40 logical processors. Our SQL is configured
on NUMA nodes and with the limitation SQL uses only 2 NUMA nodes on live .There are 10 logical CPUs are evenly assigned to each NUMA nodes. Microsoft recommends that if SQL server configured on NUMA node and we have 2 NUMA nodes, then we may add two data files
at a time. Please let me know should I add two TempDB data file at a time?
2] We have TempDB Data and log files both on the same Drive of SQL server .When I split TempDB into two Data files, I can get them on the same Drive .What your recommendation should I need to create TempDB Data files on the same drive or on separate
disks?
3] What would be the blackout plan for splitting the tempdb into multiple files? Please let me know if someone has a better back out plan ?
1] Run script that create tempdb Database with a single file
2] Reboot SQL service in order to apply change
Your help will be apprecited .
Thanks ,

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

FCP Splits QT movie file into several files... problem and solution.

Hi All,
I was having problems exporting a QT movie (Video Only) of a 20 min Reel within a Feature Film I edited. The Database was quite large - the film was 2Hrs and Footage was about 12X.
FCP would split the QT movie file into several files - only one of which was openable (either in FCP or the QT player). To my surprise, I also found that even though the file opened fine, I would get an error message when trying to copy it or its associated files over to another HD (Tiger would abort, after giving me an error No. and saying that there was an error while copying). The problem was repeatable and specific to this sequence.
After some testing, I found that copying the clips (Video Only) to another sequence and re-exporting, seemed to solve the problem. My take on this is that too many ( > 12? ) Audio tracks causes problems in FCP when the database is large.
But I do need these additional tracks. Any work arounds?
Thanks,
RD

First, look in System Settings, and see if you've checked the box to limit file size to 2GB. Uncheck that box. See if that helps.
Or it could just be a corrupt project causing the problem.

Combining separate PDF files into ONE file

I have scanned 43 separate pdf files and want to combine them into one document. I have tried to look up on the adobe site and they talk about finging the combine icon, but I cannot find it. How do I combine these separatly scanned PDF files into one file.
thank you

Hi there,
Another option available to you is to use the online service Adobe CreatePDF (after all, you are in the forum for Acrobat.com, www.acrobat.com, another online service from Adobe). With a Basic subscription you can create PDF files as well as combine multiple files into a single PDF. For more information, please see: http://createpdf.acrobat.com/pricing.html
I'd be happy to give you more information should you need it.
Kind regards,

Cropping Video into Separate Files

Hi,
Is there any way to crop videos into separate files in iMovie?
Thanks!

in short: no.
the free 30d trial of FCPX would easiely allow to crop the video.
or,
free Mpeg Streamclip offers a crop feature too.
keep in mind:
resolution gets axed by 75% doing so => dramatic quality loss.

How to chunk the XML files into smaller files using peoplecode.

We are trying to load the Invoices through our XMLDoc PeopleCode that we have written long back.
Previously the file is not that big and we are able to load them successfully. But now each file is more than 200MB and we are getting the below error when initiated the process..
Process Request shows status of 'INITIATED' or 'PROCESSING' but no longer running “.
I tried to chunk the file manually to 50MB it is able to run it properly but chuncking manually is not possible for all the files as it is time taking process..
Is there any way that we can check on Webserver/Appserver whether whats happening and how to handle this error..
Or any sample code to divide the big file into smaller files..
Please let me know your thoughts..

Good morning Ashok,
Your data is in a SQL*Loader supported datatype, so basically it should not be a problem.
Have you checked the Database Utilities guide (for Oracle9i for instance: http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse/oracle/server.920/a96652/toc.htm) on how to handle this?
I'll also repeat my previous question, have you ever been able to load data into the database using SQL*Loader (either using ASCII values or any other datatype)?
For the OWB part, have you read "Importing Data Definitions" (typically chapter 4)? More specifically, "Specifying Field Properties" in "About Flat File Sources and Targets"?
In "SQL*Loader Properties" it says the following:
Type Describes the data type of the field for the SQL*Loader. You can use the Flat
File Sample Wizard to import the following data types: CHAR, DATE, DECIMAL
EXTERNAL, FLOAT EXTERNAL, INTEGER EXTERNAL, ZONED , AND ZONED
EXTERNAL. For complete information on SQL*Loader field and data types, refer to
Oracle9i Utilities. Currently, only portable datatypes are supported.
If you check the database utitlities guide (chapter 6 Field List Reference) and look for "SQL*Loader Datatypes", you'll find (packed) decimal under the Nonportable Datatypes. This implies that OWB does not support it.
This does not mean you can't use SQL*Loader, you'll only have to define everything separate from OWB and call it separately as well.
Good luck, Patrick

Acrobat Professional 9 error merge multiple files into one file

In the same file I made the text boxes and then I have produced more than one file, I then tried to merge into a single file but the software copies the same pages of the first file.
Let me explain:
1) in the first file number 1 I have 3 pages, these pages I have text boxes and then I saved the file with no 2, then No. 3, then 4;
2) I took the first file and the file I downloaded in the last 2,3,4
3) I opened the software to control and I copied the file multiple times n. 1 just
4) so now I have to file a repeated 4 times in a single file.
What should I do to be merged into a single file as separate files?
Perhaps this warning is that you understand the problem, since I used the same page by giving it a different name just because I made some text boxes with different content, that is, the program identifies the file and then continues to quote the same as another copy the same file, then I should change the form field for each file. How should I proceed?
Of course I followed the instructions of the notice but the thing has not changed, all the files you copy the same.
I enclose a picture

Sorry, this is the Adobe Connect support forum and not related to Acrobat. Suggest you re-post to the Adobe Acrobat forum for help with this question. Thank you.

Combining multiple pages files into one file?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I really did try to find the answer both in the Pages documentation and the forums and couldn't find even a similar question!
I have a 90+ page document I created that contains many photo's, and other graphic elements. Because it was increasing incapacitating my computer, I decided to break the document up into separate files broken up by chapter. Now I have approximately 10 different Pages files that I would like to merge into 1 file, mainly to add page numbers. For the life of me, I do not see a simple way to combine these files into one. Can someone please help? Thank you in advance!
Craig

It's a common enough question that I saved my first response to such a question & modify & reuse it as needed. The problem with searching these forums/fora is guessing the exact word to use.
Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.
