Stuck with videoTS files

Hi there,
I would like to use a clip in FCP that comes from one of my old own DVD that I made a few years ago with a home DVD recorder from a TV program that was not under copyright protection.
The DVD looks fine as long as I play it on a home video DVD player deck.
The problem is that when I use MPEG streamclip, or DVDxdv to try and extract the clip I would like to use, I can only get the very beginning of the DVD extracted -- only a few 100 Mb instead of the 1.8 GB burned on the DVD.
I tried to export each VOB file but it does not work...
Could someone help ?
Thanks
Ivan

Hi NIck,
I can reassure you, I am not working with a piece of commercial movie. My work only.
That being said, I entered fix breaks in the preferences, but when I open the VTS011.VOB file, I am not asked to fix breaks and the first part of the DVD opens
If I want to open the VTS012.VOB file, I am asked
"Would you like to open all the files of the stream together?."
If I choose, only 1 file, I get a message error saying "File open error: unrecognized file type"
if I choose "open anyway", it says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks"
If I say Yes to all files, I get the same File open error message
if I open anyway, then I get the first sequence (VTS1) alone.
Again the DVD is playing OK on a home DVD deck, but not on the computer with DVD player. Stops at the same point after VTS1 sequence. Same thing if I use DVDxDV app.
I even tried to burn a new DVD from the original one. Did not improve a thing....
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance
Ivan

  • Automate, Batch problem with exporting files

    Hello.
    I have already used batch many times where i have for example changed image size and then exported it to another folder. So my actoin looked like:
    - image size
    - export
    - close
    Then i have set the batch source and destination folder and it all went smooth. All the work has been done automatically with no click needed.
    Today im having problem however: When i do the above steps photoshop do all these actions to all the source files but saves them all as single file whic is being replaced over and over and over againw ith same name... I dont see any difference in what i have done now and what i have been doing all the time but this time it just do not want to modify and export the modifyied source files with their own names to the destination folded... Im stuck with 1 file in destination folder with source name of the first file in source folder (when i look in that folder during the batch process i see the thumbnail image changing)...
    All i could do to finally finish my work was to delete "export" and "close" positions from the saved action so it started asking me about compression when each file has been modified... It works, finally i have all modified source files in destination folder, but it kept asking me about compression with each file... it can hardly be called automated process.
    Anyone have any idea why it stopped working while it have been working before flawlessly?
    Regards
    Muniek

    When you record the export (save for web),
    if you change the name in export dialog, then
    file will be replaced over and over.
    Do you get a message like this?

  • HT201210 I am stuck with "The iPad could not be restored because the firmware file was corrupt" message.

    Hi
    I have an iPad mini and it was on iOS 6.1.3, my friend came and he said that he knows how to install iOS 7 for me. I gave it to him and he tried to install it, but apparently he failed to do so and an "Activation Error" is appearing on the screen now asking me to register in the developers program.
    Now, we are trying to restore it back to iOS 6.1.3 using iTunes, the software downloads well and it starts restoring but that I keep getting this error message "The iPad could not be restored because the firmware file was corrupt.".
    I am sure that the file is not corrupted because it's downloaded via iTunes regular download and it's not from an outside source.
    I am stuck with this now and my iPad is useless this way.
    Please any suggestions ?

    Yes, don't download Beta Software that you have no business or legal right to download and quit taking bad advice from friends.
    Now to maybe get you out of the restoring jam, the only thing that I can think of that might work is to use recovery mode, unless you already tried it and it didn't work.
    You can read about it here, but the instructions are posted below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

    I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
    In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
    Start again but copy files in small amounts.

  • Stuck with File Path

    I am writing a very simple script that exports an image's cutline for my newsroom, i am getting stuck with the having it write the file to the correct path. When I run script as below it works, writing the file to my documents:
    function writeCutline () {
                    // Linefeed shizzle
                if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1)
                    fileLineFeed = "windows";
                else
                    fileLineFeed = "macintosh";
        var fileName = app.activeDocument.name
        var MetaInfo = app.activeDocument.info;
        MetaInfo = MetaInfo.caption;
        var fileOut = new File(Folder.myDocuments + '/'+ fileName.substring(0,fileName.length-4)+ '.txt');
        fileOut.linefeed = fileLineFeed;
        fileOut.open("w", "TEXT", "????");
        fileOut.writeln(MetaInfo);
        fileOut.close();
    writeCutline();
    What I want it to do is:
    var fileOut = new File( '/c/cutlines/'+ fileName.substring(0,fileName.length-4)+ '.txt');
    but this does not work. What do I have to do different?

    Thanks for the help guys. I wasn't actually putting the files on C: it was actually going to a mapped network drive and for some reason last night the server was working incorrectly and that is where my problems where coming from. But that raises my next question, is there anyway to address the path with mapping the drive, so it would be a refence to the server. If i was browsing the path it would be TARHSHARE/PHOTOS/photos/DailyATS/Cutlines. With PHOTOS mapped to drive P the path is P:/Photos/Daily/ATS/Cutlines. So what I want to do is get it work without mapping the drive, so the script will work on all of the photographers accounts without mapping the drive.

  • I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

  • Duplicating files on Top "Level" of HD in Yosemite stuck with PENDING and "X"

    Duplicating files on Top "Level" of HD in Yosemite stuck with PENDING and "X"-- which is incredible as it is happening on both my 2010 MBP-13" and my daughter's brand new MacBook Space gray:
    Go to the highest level on your hard drive --- where the SYSTEM and APPLICATIONS and USERS folders are located.  Now take any file or folder that is there (small or big) and click on it, the either choose "duplicate" or do cmd-d to make a duplicate of that file.  WHAT HAPPENS?
    For me-- the file duplicates but the icon has a progress bar image  along the

    I HOPE THIS HELPS people to see what I'm getting on the top level only:  Here are 2 images -- a before and after:  I have a very plain empty folder called "Test Folder 1 May 2015" in the first one (along with some other folders) and then in the second one you can see I duplicated that folder -- but it now has a progress bar and and "x" showing!  (Just the "duplicated" file - the one with copy in the name).  This is a screen shot (using "Totalfinder" if anyone is wondering).  Same with my daughter's new MacBook (and she has essentially nothing on it, is not using TotalFinder - but the same problem.  Hey, maybe it's not a problem, maybe it's a "feature" of Yosemite or just the way it treats root level folders now--- but I sure would like to get rid of this weirdness if possible without breaking the system!

  • My iPhone with iTunes match is extremely slow downloading songs, stuck on processing file

    I have a 64GB iPhone 5, with iTunes Match enabled. Whenever I try to download songs to the phone, the songs will download very quickly, usually with 15 seconds, but then it will be stuck on Processing File for 15-20 minutes. This makes it very difficult to download large numbers of songs. I have been trying to download ~3000 songs since Friday and there are still 492 left after 4 days. Any ideas why the processing file action takes so long?
    Internet speed: 15ms ping, 35mbps download, 11mbps upload
    iOS version: 7.1.2
    Capacity: 57.1GB
    Available: 30.7GB
    Thanks,
    Randy

    I'm trying to load ~20k songs onto my new iPhone 6 via iTunes Match, and I'm only about 1/20 along after two days
    I can't even track the progress using the iTunes Store app since the app either crashes immediately upon launch or doesn't show the "Downloads" tab (if I reboot the phone, I'll see the "Downloads" tab once with a badge indicating the number of songs remaining, but after locking up the app for a few minutes, the "Downloads" tab disappears until I reboot again).
    Instead, I get alerts every so often reporting "Unable to Purchase" as sync downloads occasionally fail. The only way I'm able to see that anything is still progressing at all is by going to Settings -> General -> About and observing the "Songs" number very slowly incrementing.
    Meanwhile, I cannot update any apps since app update downloads appear to queue up behind iTunes Match syncs instead of being entirely independent.
    I have been terribly disappointed with Apple's handling of iTunes Match.

  • HT1212 My ipad mini has been crashing a lot recently so I started a system reset. However, it's now stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter gone: this has been the case for several days now. I have tried resetting from itunes but it needs the pass

    Now it's stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter full. I have also tried resetting through itunes which works right up to the point where itunes states that it needs the passcode to be inputted into the ipad to connect to it. At which point it then sticks at the same progress bar point. HELP!! please, this ipad is really important to my work.

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck

  • How to resolve Content not allowed in prolog with PDF files

    We are using PI 7.1 to read a file and using ASMA get the file name and pass it to a target mapping and call a web service with the file name.
    We have a scenario that reads a PDF file as Binary form a folder.  Our mapper uses ASMA to get the file name and folder of the
    file to map to the target.
    Testing in mapper works fine except for the ASMA does not function (known issue).
    At runtime we drop a file and it is picked up as expected BUT from SXMB_MONI we see the following:
    Runtime exception occurred during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_FileNotification_; com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException:Content is not allowed in prolog.
    This error does not happen all the time either.  When it appears it is typically only the first time a file is mapped and on subsequent retries it processes normally.  In dev we have shown that PI seems to get stuck on a few initial files u2013 process properly on the first retry and then at some point has no issues and will process files very fast.
    u201CContent not allowed in prologu201D at least from an XML perspective is related to characters appearing before the xml file declaration:
    <?xml version="1.0".encoding="UTF-8"?>
    If chars appear before this you get this error in Java parsers.  This could be related but we do not have control over how PI parsed the file content and puts into XML messages inside the mapper as we do nothing with the file content.
    The same file will go through randomly with this exception on multiple drops.  Sometimes it gets processed properly and sometime it doesnu2019t u2013 but in dev it u201Calwaysu201D gets processed properly on the automatic retry.  It does not seem to matter what PDF we drop in there either.
    Our tyoes look something like this:
    Source:
    DT_FILE - xsd:hexBinary
    Target:
    FilePath - xsd:String
    I have tried with DT_FILE as xsd:base64Binary with the same results...
    We use a UDF to get the file name from ASMA as follows:
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
    String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key1);
    String ourSourceDirName = conf.get(key2);
    //conf.put(key1, ourSourceDirName + "/" + ourSourceFileName);
    return ourSourceDirName + "
    ToProcess
    " + ourSourceFileName;

    > Is using a custom adapter module the standard way to handle files when we do not want the content? 
    I would rather say this is a feasible solution

  • I can't restore 'library' with support files from Time Machine

    backup - I can't restore 'library' with support files from Time Machine - Ask Different
    Due to an accident, my entire applications folder with all the support files, including plists and caches got deleted.
    I tried restoring by files from the most recent Time Machine backups but I cannot retrieve my applications with the support files.
    I even tried it with migration assistant on a new image.
    Is this impossible?
    Must I start from scratch?
    Details of the ‘accident’
    I was using this app called ‘AppCleaner’ that also automatically deletes related support files which are normally left behind if one simply trashes an Application.
    In the search view, I typed the app name and I selected all the apps in the results using Command + A. Unfortunately, this selected every single Application in the Applications Folder in the background and I trashed and deleted all files.
    Anyway.
    I tried to restore the applications and library from my Time Machine Back-ups but failed to do so because I didn’t have enough space to restore. (I have a 11inch Macbook Air 2012 64GB SSD
    When I tried to restart in recovery mode, I had the same problem, I was disallowed the option to restore using my time capsule backups because my SSD didn’t have enough space for the backup.
    I then tried to restore it to a totally different but new image on a 64GB USB3.0 Sandisk USB Stick, but the process stopped after hours of being stuck around 30.4 percent and the computer was unable to boot, leaving me with a persistent verbose message suggesting it couldn’t identify the os, kernel or anything.
    I finally tried restoring the state using migration assistant on the very same SSD that had my files missing. This happened successfully and I have all my applications in the applications folder.
    But now I have 13GB free (I had 2GB before) and all my application support files, saved states, preferences, caches and customizations are gone.
    Basically, it feels like I just got a new macbook with my documents and itunes folder loaded on to it.
    How can I get my apps back to the pre-deletion state or is this impossible? Do I have to start from scratch? I thought my Time Machine Backups would restore it to exactly the same state, am I wrong?
    Screenshots:
    Message was edited by: Arsenenger

    Can you simply navigate to your Time Machine backup with the Finder? Treat it like an external hardrive and just look for your old Applications folder. /Applications/
    Also, quite a few apps put config and support files in ~/Library/Application\ Support/
    So you may be able to get the files from there as well.

    You are stuck with giving PS less than 70% of the RAM resources or else you will starve computer and it may crash.
    And if you run any other programs at the same time it takes more computer resources to keep everything running.
    If running huge files you don't have many options.  It may work better in CS5 or less as seems like every new version takes more horsepower, and CS6 sends a lot of work to the video card.
