Trying to format without compressor.

I have a 2 hour long video that has been completed and is now ready to compress. My compressor that came with FCP will not work, and I have even reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled it, but that still didn't work. So my question is this.
How can I get my movie into disk format without using the compressor that came in FCP?
I tried using handbreak, but that can only compress into mp4 and MKV, which is not supported by DVDP. I even tried converting my mp4 into a .mov file or a .mpg, which distorted the picture too much since it had been converted and compressed on top of that. The only thing I did manage to get was the .ac3 file for the audio.
Suggestions?

  • Large file on fcpx and trying to export without compressor? want to eventually transfer to dvd?

    I have a fairly large file on fcpx and trying to export it without compressor. I tried this and the .mov file was way too large to eventually burn to a dvd. Can someone please help!! I am very new to this program. Do I need compressor? Or when I share>export media is there a setting i can change?

    Are you making an authored DVD or a DVD-ROM? If the former, the size of the file doesn't matter only the length of the video.

  • Disk utility reports "Device could not be opened" - error when trying to format a new drive in a Mac Pro 1,1

    MacPro 1,1 Quadcore 3 GHz (2006 "Woodcrest")
    32 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    OS X 10.7.5 Lion
    I have encountered the following behavior when trying to format a new drive with disk utility. This description has also been send via the Mac Pro feedback as a bug report to Apple.
    On searching the web and forums with this particular error message and behaviour I could not find any usful results. So maybe the following description may be helpful for some users.
    Best regards.
    1. Drive Bay 1 contains the original 250 GB Startupdisk. It works without errors.
    2. Drive Bays 3 and 4 contain each a WD Caviar Black 2 TB SATA 3 HDD. They work without errors.
    3. I have purchased a third WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD.
    4. In Drive Bay 2 there has been a Seagate 750 GB HDD, which worked in conjunction with all the other drives without error.
    5. I exchanged the Seagate HDD in Drive Bay 2 with the new WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD.
    6. On starting the system, it will report to initialize the new drive.
    7. On trying to initialize the new drive with disk utility it reports the error [translated from German] "Erasing of the volume has failed. The device could not be opened."
    8. I thought that the drive is faulty. Thus I created an RMA-Case at WD. They exchanged the drive without problems.
    9. On getting the exchanged WD Caviar Black 2 TB drive I put it in Drive Bay 2 as before.
    10. On trying to erase and format the exchange drive I got the same error message "Drive could not be opened."
    10.1 On selecting the physical drive in the devices list, disk utility reports all information in the bottom area of its window as usual, e. g. hard disk description, connection bus, type and place, capacity, write status, SMART-status, partition scheme.
    10.1 On leaving that drive selected in the devices list and clicking the info-button, disk utility will also report additional information as usual, e. g. Name, Type, partition scheme, media-identification, media name, media type, device tree, … , number of relocated sectors, etc.. All this information appears to be valid, as can be compared to the other devices information inside the other Drive Bays. Also the disk numbering scheme appears to be standard - 4 HDDs give the numbering disk0, disk1, disk2, disk3.
    10.2 From that information I conclude that the SATA-bus and connectors electrically work properly, the drive has spun up and can be accessed by the system normally.
    11. I powered down the computer, took out the HDDs from Drive Bays 3 and 4 and put the caddy with the new exchange drive in Drive Bay 4 [Maybe, I could have also just left it alone in Drive Bay 2, or 3].
    12. After powering on the system, disk utility will quick format the exchange drive without any error message. Also, when erasing again by selecting the option to write zeros to the drive, disk utility will finish without error.
    13. After disk utility finished formatting, I put back the original drives into Drive Bay 3 and 4 and put the now newly formatted drive back into Drive Bay 2.
    14. After switching on the computer the system start and login proceeds without any error message. All drives appear as expected on the desktop.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Install Soundtrack Pro without Compressor 2

    I've run in to major problems with Compressor 2. I am running Production Studio (FCP4.5, DVDSP3, etc). I purchased the Soundtrack Pro Upgrade and it also added Compressor 2. I have experienced many problems with compressor 2 (I've seen them listed here) and needed to totally rebuild to get back to a working system with Compressor 1. I tried many of the suggestions with little luck. I have not yet installed Soundtrack Pro, as I cannot afford to bring my system to a halt again with Compressor 2. Is there any way to install Soundtrack Pro without Compressor 2? I've been through the install and the documentation, but did not see the option. Anyone know any way to do this?

    If you get Charles Srstka's Pacifist, you will be able to install whatever you need to wherever you want... Beware: this is not for the faint of heart - you must know what you're doing!

  • Changing the partition format without reinstall the Mac OS X

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to change the file system format of the partition without needed to reinstall the OS X ?
    E.g. "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" > "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)"
    this link will give an idea of list of file system format available http://images.macworld.com/images/legacy/2006/10/images/content/pickformat.jpg
    The main reason I need this is because of I wish to avoid reinstallation as it take time to install and update to latest patch...
    I have MacBook with 3 partitions with formated to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" on all 3 partitions. 1st and 2nd partition installed Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, and created an image (by using carbon copy cloner) for each partition and saved it into 3rd partition as backup.
    I tried to below but it doesn't help:
    1. Boot into 10.7.
    2. Erase the 1st partition 10.6, reformat it to "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)".
    3. Restore 10.6 image that created previously.
    4. After restore completed, the 1st partition file system format back to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
    Is there's anyway to change the partition file system format without needed reinstall Mac OS X ?

    Or is there any backup tool that it will only back file and folder level but not file system format ??
    That what all backup tools do.
    If so, then I can create a backup image of the existing entire partition file and folder only, then reformat the partition to case-sensitive, then restore back the file and folder...
    Yes, that's what I'm suggesting. Be aware that it's a one-way conversion. Once you have a case-sensitive file system, you generally can't go back to case-insensitive without losing data. I hope you have a good reason for wanting to do this and that you know how to deal with the problems it may cause.

  • Redeploy precompiled JSPs to managed server in exploded format without incurring a JSP recompile

         How do you redeploy precompiled JSPs to a managed server in exploded format without
    incurring a JSP recompile?
         Our application is deployed in Two Phase, Stage mode, Exploded Format. We regularly
    update JSPs on our Production application and would like to be able to redeploy
    JSPs without incurring the JSP recompile. I am able to precompile JSPs and redeploy
    the JSP and compiled JSP to the managed server, but the updated page is still
    recompiled.
         I've searched the BEA site, newsgroups, and web and still need some help.
         Additional information:
         - precompile in web.xml is false. we'd prefer not to precompile all the jsps
    at startup to minimize Production downtimes when deploying new major releases
         - the compiled JSPs reside in ~/classes/jsp_servlet and not ~/WEB-INF/classes/jsp_servlet
         - our directory structure looks like:
              ~/app
                   /META-INF
                   /WEB-INF
                   /classes ( compiled source )
                        /hotwire ( java class files )
                        /jsp_servlet ( compiled jsps )
              ~/deploy ( property files )
                   /prod
                        /web.xml
                        /weblogic.xml
              ~/src ( java files )
                   hotwire/
         I found this information on the BEA newsgroup ( http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.jsp&item=582&utag=
    ) regarding the _isStale() method for compiled JSPs, but wasn't able to get it
    to work when the file was in the exact same path ( note: compilation occurred
    on a different machine than the managed view server )
         Do we have to store our compiled JSP files under /WEB-INF/classes for this feature
    to work and in a WAR?
         What am I missing?
         Regards,
              Paul

    Hi Mark,
    Thank you for replying and logging the CR. I've read lots of your posts in researching
    this issue and was hoping you'd reply.
    I used the JSP Precompile Validation Utility ( http://dev2dev.bea.com/resourcelibrary/utilitiestools/adminmgmt.jsp
    ) and tested against WLS8.1sp2 and agree with your assessment. The JSP Time utility
    indicates that the JSP and compiled class are in agreement, yet the server always
    recompiled the JSP after I redeployed that particular file and class. I opened
    Case Ticket #: 473459 that includes a test script, output, and lots of information.
    It's currently being investigated. I'll inform the BEA Relations engineer and
    add my name to the CR you opened.
    Dynamic content updates without recompiles is something we'd really like to be
    able to do. We are hoping to be able to do specific frequent content updates
    in the afternoon as opposed to 1:00 AM :)
    Thanks again,
    Paul

    So this is a scenario that we should support Paul.
    There are a couple of issues.
    1) I dont think our weblogic.Deployer api currently does a very good
    job of
    this at all, since it is MOSTLY concerned with redeployment of applications
    and modules, and in this scenario you dont want app redpeloyment you
    just
    want what are essentially content files distributed. In otherwords the
    api
    I worry wont help you distributing files for this case, at least in this
    current release and SP.
    2) once you get the files to the location, things should in the servlet
    containers.
    Having said that it is easier if you are able to have the application's
    deployed with -no-stage, or no-copying, or shared application, that way
    you
    have one location to copy files to vs. many stage dirs. Either way you'll
    have to copy the jsp's and the classfiles to the webapp directories.
    Additionally I just tried this on 8.1. sp2 and the stale-check by the
    servlet container is busted. :( I opened a bug on this: CR133453.
    Not
    sure if this is in sp1 or not, didnt have time to check it. I suggest
    you
    contact support and get your name added to this CR to raise its priority.

  • Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

    How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?
    I am getting XML Publisher report output in excel format by using options tab while submitting the concurrent request .
    But i want to get excel output automatically.
    Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
    Thanks in advance
    Sandeep V

    Hey Sandeep,
    I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
    Thanks,

    This article has a link for more information on finding your profile directory: [[Fix the "Could not initialize the application's security component" error message]]. On Windows 7, you can try this (either in a Windows Explorer window address bar or from the start menu search box):
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    You may see one folder in there and that's the one you want. If you see more than one, look for the one with the most recently modified files.

  • I need help trying to format a new external HD!!!!!

    **** i spent ~3 hours trying to format this crap!!!!!
    so i got a 300 Gb HD. i want to use it like a usb, b/t my mac(osX) and pc(winXP).
    i have to format using my pc and not my mac. if i format it using my mac, my pc doesn't recognize it.
    problem: i need to format to FAT32 so that both OS can use it right? but i can only format 30Gb partition at a time. i just want all to be FAT32 format! if a partition is more than 30Gb, it's NTFS format, which i can't modify using my mac. i can only read.
    so there's some softwhere out there that allows me to format all space to FAT32? do you know what it is?

    I might as well add some direction that I interpretted from the web page that I linked to you...
    After unzipping, copy the "mkdosfs" file to the root of the C drive on your Windows computer. Then go Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->Command Prompt. Type the following, replacing "volname" with the name of the external hard drive and "X:" with the letter of that drive:
    c:\mkdosfs -v -F 32 -n volname X:
    (note the spaces after mkdosfs, v, F, 32, n, and the drive name)

  • Trying to format external drive

    Hi,
    I am trying to format an external 1TB Maxon hard drive for use with my airport extreme as a wireless Time Machine backup. I plug it into my Mac Pro through usb and run Disk Utility, select the drive, select Erase, select Mac OSX Journal, select Zero Out Data and run it.
    Well, after doing this twice now, and after each process taking around 13 hours I keep getting "Disk Utility Lost Connection" Error message. Is the drive bad? Is there a way to do a quicker erase and format?
    I checked the forums and this seems to be an issue from back in 10.3?? Also, I just installed an internal 1TB in my Mac Pro and went through the same steps, works great, took about 2-3 hours for the whole process??
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Follow this procedure:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

    Reinstall Snow Leopard. Or you can try to extract it from the DVD.
    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
      A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
      B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in
           the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
      C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go
           to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
      • Stop
      • Leave original alone
      • Update .....
      • Default selection
      • Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • My Mac G5 crashed 2 years ago, and I am trying for format a 3 TB internal harddrive.

    Hi There,
    I am trying to format a 3 TB internal harddrive, so that I can reinstal Final Cut Pro 4 on to this new drive, in order to continue editting video. My last hard drive crashed and I was unable to pull anything off of it, so I am starting from scratch. I did have two hard drives, one died and the other one is where all my applications were stored. The 2nd drive is still good, but I running out of space for my video files, hence the reason for this newest drive.
    I am working off of a Mac Pro G5 and I believe I was running the OS X 10.4 software. I have the start up disk to install it on my new drive. However, when I try to format the drive, my computer stops working and my mouse pointer begins to spin a rainbow ball and then I end up having to quit disk utility. I am half afraid, I will eventually make the new drive non-operational. So I need a little help.
    My questions are these as follows:
    When I try to format the 3 TB hard drive, should I consider partitioning it?   What is the up scale to partitioning a hard drive? What is the downfall of that option?
    Also, I am able to verify the disk, however the disk shows up as untitled and it only shows up as 746.4 GB, where as I thought it should show up as 2.7 TB. Am I doing something wrong?
    I would greatly appreciate some help in this.
    Thanks.
    TallG

    So I was able to format the 3TB hard drive, but it only formated it as 736GB
    Oh, only 10.4.11 & up can see the new Adavanced Format Drives properlly, they now have 4096 Byte Sectors instead of the old 512 Byte sectors, so that explains the shortage there.

    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

    Every time I try to export my movie into a Windows Format from compressor it shrinks the movie to 27 seconds.WHY? HELP

    Probably because you have the free version of Flip4MAc from Telestream that limits exported files to 30 seconds or so. There ae several paid versions  – depending on your requirements
    Good luck.

  • When trying to format my internal hard drive, it's greyed out in Disk utility?

    I'm trying ot format my computer and wipe everything off before giving it away, but Disk Utility has everything greyed out and won't let me choose my hard drive. I have the original CD and everything that came with the computer. How do I fix this fast?

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
