Up rez DV to SD uncompressed

We're making a 3 to 5 minute sizzle piece.
Our dv source footage is from
beta
digi-beta
and quicktimes ripped from DVDs via Mpeg Streamclip.
On each of those quicktimes I made 2 copies,
one DV
and the other SD uncompressed.
So when we up rez this thing,
we media manage sequence
making offline,
deleting unused media,
and we're left with new clips
to capture.
The problem is those new clips
referencing quicktimes taken from the DVDs.
they can't exactly be captured...
anyway to handle this without overcutting them?
thanks

Not sure that I follow your workflow, but I think that it is a little flawed.
You need to pick a format and capture your source footage to that format. Capturing everything to DV and then "uprezzing" to SD uncompressed (which, BTW, is not uprezzing, you are just changing codecs) will get you nothing. When you capture to DV you are taking a beta or digi beta source and adding to it 5:1 compression, once that is done you cannot get it back.
For your tape based footage - capture as uncompressed if that is what you want.
For your DVD based footage - get the original footage and capture as uncompressed, that should not be a problem if you have permission to use the footage (if you don't have permission then don't use it), if DVD is your only option then use capture it as uncompressed is streamclip will allow that (I don't know if it will) or use a capture card to capture the signal from a DVD player as uncompressed.
Basically, you need to capture in your online format.
Hope this helps,

Quality issues converting Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 to H.264, Square pixels

I need to convert my uncompressed SD 10 bit 4:2:2 video for use on the internet. Specifically, a client wants the resulting QT or MP4 file to be Video Codec: H.264, square pixels, size 1280x720. I feel as though I've tried every possible way in FCP exporting through QT conversion, but everything looks terrible with artifacts. I need help, I know it is possible to make professional SD video look good on the internet!
Can people recommend a tried and true workflow for making this conversion, including relevant setting I should use? I am clearly missing something. Thank you for any tips, advice.

Where is it going on the internet? Youtube? Vimeo? Have you checked what specs are recommended for the delivery location?
Is the footage even 16:9 to begin with?
1280x720 is HD not SD. Unless you have a Kona card that can up rez you will be trying to take a recipe for 8 and make it feed 12. Does your client understand this or could they just be reading a specs page?
640x360 is SD/square pixel/16:9 and accepted by YT and Vimeo
640x480 is the 4x3 version
A H264 compressor preset can be tweaked to meet your SD needs - try 2000MB for a video rate. Use AAC audio at 128. YT can accept videos up to 1GB if not 2.
You can use these specs to uprez to 1280x720 but results will vary.

No Go Pro Rez

Ladies & Gentlemen,
I installed FCS2 to a clean boot drive and it works very well. I am trying to capture uncompressed 1080i HD-SDI with the Kona LHe to Pro Rez sq and it drops 30-50 % of the frames. I tried 720p and the same thing. My G5 is a 2.3 dual core with 2.5 ram, it's real not that old or is it?
Has anyone tried capturing in real time to PRsq?
Do I need an Intel to do this?
Or do I need a card with PR on board like the AJA I/O HD coming out in July?
I haven't tried this yet and I'm sure I can't but, Can you transcode from firewire into PRsq?
Thanks very much
Z1&V1user

Yes I have the raid (4-500gig sata drives and Rocket Raid card), I can capture 1080i uncompressed. I was really hoping someone has experience with real time capture/transcoding to Pro Rez. I actually was hoping you would have experimented with this Shane.
Does anyone know if it is possible with a Mac Pro Intel?????
Before I go rushing out to get the latest 8 core do you think Apple would put a PR codec on a chip on future mother boards and create their own hardware solutions?, or will they keep this for 3rd party products only?
I would expect more hardware devices are on the way from BM and AJA and others?
Thanks Again

FCP 6.0.2 captures black (Uncompressed 10bit PAL)

Hi all,
The fun and games continue...
Since upgrading to OSX 10.5 and being forced up to FCP 6.0.2 (someone else's projects..), all my captures have resulted in plain black quicktimes. It records the timecode data but just sees black footage where vision should be. (If that makes sense)
I'm capturing via a Decklink Extreme, from a J-series Digi Beta. My capture codec is the Uncompressed 10bit one. I have no issues controlling the digi, but the preview window is black also. I occasionally experienced this problem on FCP 5.x, but a full power down then restart always solved it. No such luck this time. Is there any way to roll back the FCP install to 6.0.1? Or any hacks around the problem?

Okay, time to give myself +1 gold star for answering my own questions, and -1 black cross for knee-jerk narrow mindedness.
Somewhere in between 10.4 / 6.0.1 and 10.5 / 6.0.2 the Decklink changed its input from SDI to component (Preferences / Decklink / Settings / Set Input). Fixed.
Apologies for the waste of forum space.

Capture Settings for uncompressed Video Vs DV Video

Im capturing footage from Digibeta masters via a J30 deck using a single SDI cable connected to my black magic extreme, (captured using the Blackmagic uncompressed 10 bit setting) editing in FCP and exporting to SD dvd via compressor using "dvd best quality 90 mins anamorphic".
Up untill today i had been using the same workflow EXCEPT i had been capturing over firewire using DV PAL anamorphic to work in the DV PAL format.
Comparing the final result of both workflows im not seeing a huge difference (the original footage is the same in both cases).
Are there any capture settings i can play with that will improve the quality of the final product or should i be looking at the bitrates in compressor instead?
I just want to make sure im not arsing up the capture and that i am capturing as much info as i can from the digibeta masters. The files created from he digi's are a lot larger then the files from the Dv stuff but i just dont feel im seeing that on screen - any advice?
thanks,
S

All the original footage was shot on 35mm by a pro cinematographer - me:) Each project was mastered to Digibeta. What i want to do is show that footage in its best "light" so to speak, but i am limited to presenting it on SD DVD until Blu-ray takes off.
Up untill recently i had been using the Digi to DV to DVD workflow i had described above. With a recent desktop upgrade i am now recapturing all the same material from the same Digimasters using the uncompressed 10bit to dvd workflow descibed above so that i can avoid the afrementioned dv compression in the middle.
Obviously i can see a difference between uncompressed and Dv footage natively but when i view them both on DVD on a PAL monitor i cant see as big a difference as i had hoped i would see.
can i improve this difference with my capture settings or do i need to work on my dvd bitrate settings or a combination of both?

Can Photoshop CS6 Extended save uncompressed DICOM files?

In CS4 and CS5 Extended layered documents saved as DICOM (.dcm) were uncompressed and could be opened in another imaging program that I use frequently (ImageJ) without complaint. It appears that CS6 Extended saves DICOM files in a compressed format which cannot be directly opened in ImageJ and, as I recall, some other DICOM viewers.
Does anyone know if there is a way to change to uncompressed DICOM saves? I've looked for save options, but cannot see anything relevant.

Monitor the file I/O with tools like Sysinternals' System Monitor and check what's causing the problem. Could be a mundane permissions problem with your temporary folders or otehr resource problem.

Problems with large frame uncompressed AVI files in QT 7 player

I have just recently gone from QT Pro 6.5.2 to QT Pro 7, mainly because of the HD support.
I have a dual boot system with QT 7 on Windows 2000, and QT 6 on Windows 98SE.
I am having problems playing uncompressed AVI files in the QT 7 player, apparently if the frame size is large (in the example case 688 x 516).
Sometimes I just get "error 108 unknown error" pop up when I try to load the file. Sometimes the file loads but will not play except in short bursts of movement every now and again as it moves along the timeline. Sometimes the file plays, but with one or more broad black lines across the image!
All the problem files play perfectly in QT 6.5.2, but will not play in QT 7, which should surely play them better, not worse!
Can anyone make any suggestion as to what's happening?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled QT 7, which made no difference. I'm sure I don't need any extra codecs, as QT has always played RAW AVIs without anything extra before.
Thanks in anticipation, Dave.

FCP Uncompressed Editing on a new Mac Pro

Hello everybody,
I too am about to empty my wallet into Apple's bank account.
I am upgrading my editing capacity and have the following wish list in order to edit compressed and uncompressed 8 or 10 bit high definition video shot with HDV and DVCPro HD camcorders:
Mac Pro - 2x 2.66GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon Processors
2 GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card
1 x 250GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA (as boot drive)
3 x 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s (as striped footage drives)
Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel - as main FCP screen)
Apple Cinema HD Display (23" flat panel - as HD monitor)
I already own Final Cut Studio and run FCP 5.1.1
My questions are:
1. Is the above hard drive set up fast enough for 8 and/or 10 bit uncompressed HD/HDV editing?
2. Will I need any extra hardware - besides the graphics card - in order to see every single pixel of 1920 x 1080 footage?
I know others on the Apple Discussions forums have asked similar questions but I am still not certain which set up is best for me.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Dear Mr Jobs. Thanks in advance for allowing PAL users of FCP to edit 720 footage from Panasonic's HVX-200 camcorder.

I have just found out that my plans for a Mac Pro with 4 internal drives (one as boot drive, the other three striped as footage RAID) will NOT be fast enough to edit uncompressed HD material.
I have just read this on the Black Magic Design website:
Blackmagic Disk Speed Test reported about 170 MB/sec which was easily fast enough for HD uncompressed 10 bit. However this three-disk internal solution is more suited to people needing simple capture and playback of HD, such as designers and effects artists. They just want simple clip capture and playback and the built-in three-disk array is a great solution for them. There are also newer 750 GB disks, which are faster, and so performance could increase further.
For editors who have hundreds of cuts and/or effects in their projects, we would strongly recommend an external disk array with multiple disks.

An external RAID system will have to be the way forward for me for now. Thanks to you all for trying to answer my questions.

How to export a large, high-rez Keynote'08 file as a QT movie?

I have used Keynote '08 to create a 1.6GB presentation, 1024 x 768 resolution, 940 slides of stills and animation clips, navigatable hyperlinks on every slide. It plays and navigates perfectly well in Play mode.
The presentation would of course be most effective if I could export it as a single QuickTime movie - 1024 x 768 resolution. But I have not been able to do this, either on my own or with help from Apple employees at an Apple retail outlet. (I cannot remember whether we tested Keynote '08 or '09 at the store)
The best I've been able to accomplish is to break the presentation into ten parts and export them as ten QuickTime movies at a reduced resolution of 800 x 600.
I've been able to create a full length single movie - but only as a web-sized lowest quality (H.264) QT movie - in which the hyperlinks work but the slide captions cannot be clearly read.
This interactive education presentation would be so much more effective if I could export it as a single high-rez QT movie.
So I am searching for a solution to this problem, if it indeed exists using Keynote '08 or '09, and feedback/educated opinions from Keynote users who have encountered the same problem. Is Apple aware of this limitation? Might Apple address it in Keynote '10 whenever that arrives? Is there additional software available that could solve this problem?
TIA

I want to be able to watch my 1080p work on Apple TV in the best quality.
The TV device is limited to max of 720p playback. While the TV1 did have an option to scale content for output as 1080i or 1080p, this was discontinued with the TV2 since 1080p native HDTVs will automatically rescale the negotiated input as/if needed for proper viewing. To maintain compatibility with the TV1 device, Apple presets will export 720p content only if the source file is larger than or equal to these dimensions and the frame rate is 25 fps or less. They will not allow you upscale smaller dimension files. Thus, your 1080p source files will be exported as either 720p24 or 540p30 files depending on the source frame rate. If you have an TV2 device and wish to ensure a 720p30 output, then use a free third-party app like MPEG Streamclip or HandBrake. Both have TV2 specific conversion options.

Up Rez DVCPRO 50

I remember reading on the Panasonic website that the SDX900, which shoots native 16:9 DVCPRO 50, is a good contender for an up rez to HD. How would you go about doing this through FCP? And what flavor of HD? Also, what are your thoughts on this whole process and results from it? Thanks in advance!

Blow anything up 200% and it won't look nearly as good as something shot 720 or 1080. It will be noticably grainy. If you upconverted with a Terranex (dub facility thus equipped) it will look better, as it has built in noise reduction, but still not match something shot 720 or 1080. Depending on the DPs involved, you'll see the difference. Imaging and lenses are also factors. But your upconvert should look perfectly fine.
The Terranex is what I'd use for GREAT results. Rendering and outputting with Kona 2 give you good results...and is cheaper.
What is TRUE 720 or 1080 anyway?

I can't export uncompressed videos

I'm trying to export my videos as uncompressed AVIs so I can compress them on a seperate encoder, H.264, so I can put them on youtube and retain high quality videos. However, every time I try to do this, once it's finished exporting, I click the video to test it and I only get the audio. I doesn't matter how big or small the video is or what's on it, whenever I try to export an uncompressed video, I lose the actual video in the process.
So is there a way to fix this? Or if not, is there a way I can export the video without the enormous loss in quality I get whenever I do an AVI export? Thanks

sorry I wasn't being very specific. When I said uncompressed AVI, I mean the videos were orignially AVIs and I simply wanted them to be returned as the raw footage but in the reorganized, edited form I put them in. Like rearanging the videos without having to encode them again and deal with the loss of quality. Virtual Dub does this but it's harder to work with and more limited than premiere pro.
Still not specific enough. There are two ways of exporting an uncompressed AVI from Premiere Pro: you can set the Format as Uncompressed Microsoft AVI (which you shouldn't; that's only for AJA hardware), or you can set the Format to Microsoft AVI, and then select "None" from the codec dropdown. It's the latter than you want to do.
You might want to look into the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec or the Ut Video Codec Suite; both are free visually lossless codecs that will be smaller than uncompressed. They'll appear as codec options under Microsoft AVI. Lagarith installs both x86 and x64 (required for CS5) versions; for Ut, you need to install both the 32-bit and 64-bit packages.

Error on uncompressing file

Hi !
We have one user getting the following error message when trying to log on to SAP BPC for Excel:
"Error on uncompressing file: ActiveX component can´s create object"
"Cannot download templates from server"
And after this error message BPC opens but there are no dimensions available in CV.
Anyone who knows what can be wrong?
/Fredrik

It definitely looks like xceedzip is the culprit...there are several SAP Notes that deal with xceedzip and all pretty much have the following solution.
If there is an existing xceedzip.dll in the x:\programs files\bpc directory, unregister and rename the file first.
Solution
This problem was resolved by:
1. Obtaining the XceedZip.dll from the application server's
x:\bpc\websrvr\web\installation directory.
2. Copying and pasting that file to the client's x:\programs files\bpc
directory.
3. Registering the file on the client machine using regsvr32.

How to Export UYVY 4:2:2 8-bit Uncompressed AVI?

I've been doing a lot of testing in Premiere Pro CS5 (on Windows) but cannot figure out how to export video to a generic 4:2:2 8-bit uncompressed AVI file. Here's some background - I've captured some video to an uncompressed Matrox AVI file (via an MXO2 I/O Device). Now I've done some simple cutting and need to get the video off Premiere's timeline (and into another yet-to-be-determined multimedia application). I don't want to lose any quality - hence my requirement for 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI. Also, the file needs to be a standard/generic AVI that doesn't require any special CODECs installed.
In Premiere's File > Export > Media window, there seems to be 2 ways of getting uncompressed 4:2:2 AVIs:
Option 1:
Format: Uncompressed Microsoft AVI
Video Codec: UYVY
Quality: 100
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frame Rate: 25
Field Type: Upper First
Aspect: PAL (1.0940)
Audio Codec: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Sample Type: 16 bit
Option 2:
Format: Microsoft AVI
Video Codec: Uncompressed UYVY 422 8bit
Quality: (Greyed out at 100)
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frame Rate: 25
Field Type: Upper First
Aspect: PAL (1.0940)
Audio Codec: Uncompressed
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Sample Type: 16 bit
Audio Interleave: 0
Option 1 is great except that the audio codec detected is "0xfffe extensible wave format" (according to GSpot). I can play the video on practically any machine including something as old as Windows Media Player 9 running on Windows 2000! The audio plays back fine as well in Windows Media Player. However, audio does not play (not detected correctly) in VLC media player, or in Sony Vegas-type software. FYI, the video codec detected (by GSpot) is "UYVY (packed 4:2:2)".
Option 2, on the other hand, is quite the contrary. The video does not play in any version of Windows Media Player (regardless of operating system), but the audio plays fine though. The audio codec detected (according to GSpot) is the standard "PCM audio" format and the video codec is again "UYVY (packed 4:2:2)". In VLC media player, both the video and audio play fine. But in other editing software such as Edius, the video is not detected and only the audio is loaded onto the timeline.
What I would like is a generic 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI file which has audio that works in anything. Is there some setting/parameter that I have missed? Can I customise Option 1 with "PCM audio" rather than "0xfffe extensible wave format"? I want to avoid "Video Codec: None" if at all possible given that the file size will be significantly larger for absolutely no quality gain (I presume this is uncompressed 4:4:4?).
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi Jim, I too am confused!
Why should the video codec for Option 1 be V210? Isn't this reserved for 10-bit video?
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#V210
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS398C372B-B748-4ef6-BA0D-396D2E360707.ht ml
I would have thought that the UYVY option was the correct choice for 8-bit video.
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#UYVY
Videos exported using Option 2 definately do not play correctly in Windows Media Player - I get no video, just audio. I have tried many different computers running different versions of Windows and Windows Media Player. I'm running Premiere CS5 v5.03 if that makes any difference.
I don't understand why videos from Option 1 play fine in Windows Media Player even though the systems don't have AJA hardware installed (or any video I/O device) - they are just plain vanilla office PCs

TIP 04: Duplicating a Database in 10g by Joel Pèrez

Hi OTN Readers!
Everyday I get connection on Internet and one of the first issues that
I do is to open the OTN main page to look for any new article or any
new news about the Oracle Technology. After I open the main page of
OTN Forums and I check what answers I can write to help some people
to work with the Oracle Technology and I decided to begin to write some
threads to help DBAs and Developers to learn the new features of 10g.
I hope you can take advantage of them which will be published here in
this forum. For any comment you can write to me directly to : [email protected] . Apart from your comments you can suggest to me any topic to write an article like this.
Please do not replay this thread, if you have any question related to
this I recommend you to open a new post. Thanks!

#As you can see, you have there different ways to recreate the controlfile. In Our case, We are going to recreate the controlfiles so:

Note: two important issues to denote in the sentence above is the word "SET" instead of "REUSE" and the controlfiles must be recreated in RESETLOG mode because the database must be opened in RESETLOG mode.
If you use the word "REUSE" instead of "SET" the opening of the database is going to request recovery of the datafile of the tablespace system.
So, apply this to recreate the controlfiles:
- Start the service in windows for the database COPY2
- Get connection through SQL*Plus as system
- Shut down the database with shutdown abort
- Start the database up in nomount stage
- apply the sentence to recreate the controlfile.

Ps CS6 Problem: unable to prevent uncompressed compatibility image being saved in 32-bpc docs

Ps CS6
OS X 10.6.8
There seems always to be an uncompressed compatibility image in 32-bit PSD and PSB, and in 32-bit layered TIFF. That's regardless of Maximum Compatibility being disabled when saving.
If Maximum Compatibility is enabled, there correctly is an uncompressed composite in the file.
If Maximum Compatibility is disabled, there's an overhead equivalent to an uncompressed image with the document's size. I reckon the all-white compatibility image is uncompressed! If any image should be compressed, that surely is it. What a ridiculous waste of storage space. An unnecessary consumption of hundreds of MB per document in many cases.
This uncompressed compatibility image would explain why an embedded 32-bit PSB which stores the IBL of a 3D Layer consumes the enormous storage of a large uncompressed 32-bit image despite it being compressible to a few hundred KB.
If I've missed some switch to prevent this waste of storage, please point me to it. Otherwise, please employ compression when appropriate.

That is correct - without that, many other applications fail to read the file.
We think we've got a way to compress even the solid color data in 32 bit/channel, but it wasn't as straightforward as it sounds (floating point is tricky).

Up rez DV to SD uncompressed
