Video files in oracle9i forms

I have a table like this "CREATE TABLE T_VIDEO (ID NUMBER, VIDEO ORDSYS.ORDVIDEO)";
I would like to know how to query this table to retrieve a video and display it in an oracle9i form.

Within a PDF form, no.
Users with Adobe Acrobat Pro could manually add a video annotation to the PDF but this is not possible in Adobe Reader, and any such annotation will not become part of the form.
Acrobat users can add file attachments to a PDF, but the ability to attach files with Adobe Reader requires that the PDF have special 'embedding' rights applied using LiveCycle. It's not possible to apply those rights with Acrobat.

Assigning video files uploaded via a customer form to the src file section of another page (without manually having to copy an paste over)

Hi. I’ve set up a web form that uses html and javascript. This particular form lets you upload files. I also have another page that lets you play videos. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the inner html of for example the upload file form field equal the file that is played by the video player on the other page.
Basically on youtube when you upload a video it automatically makes another page with the video file you uploaded assigned to the video player on that page. I want to know how to go about doing that. So people can upload videos and then be able to watch them instantly without me manually having to create the page an assigning the right file to the page.
Even just knowing how to create a different page each time the form is submitted would be helpful. Thanks.

This is more complex than you realize and JavaScript alone can't do it. You'll need a server-side script like PHP to authenticate and sanitize file uploads to prevent malicious scripts or malware from ever getting to your server. Then, your script will have to process the uploaded file by saving it to a folder or database, give it a unique ID and then redirect users to a new page that pulls the file into an HTML5 or similar player. How good are you with server-side programming?

Forms developer 10g and video file

hi,
using developer forms 10g,
when user press play button, any video file is played that i want. is it possible ? any idea ? how can i do ?
thanks..

In order to play a video from a Forms you have at least two options:
1. Create a custom java bean. This could give you the ability to play the video directly in the form. This code would be completely custom, so remember that Oracle Support won't be able to assist you with it. Java bean examples can be found in the Forms Demo set or on the following third party web site:
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/
2. If the video is accessible via a URL, you can call it from a form using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and display it in a browser. You can also load it in a frame of the same browser hosting the form assuming you prepared for it before the form started.
3. If the video file is on the local machine, you can use WEBUTIL to call and open it. If the file is not on the local machine and you would prefer that it was rather than playing over the network, you could also use WEBUTIL to download the file locally, play it, they if desired, delete it.

[Solved] Kdenlive & Openshot crash after importing video files

I'm not sure if the culprit is today's update, but I am having problems importing video files in Kdenlive and OpenShot. When I try to import .MTS / .MKV / .MP4 video files, both programs immediately cease to work.
For example - Mediainfo:
.mts file

.mkv file

.mp4 file
Video 14,9 Mbps, 1920*1080 (16:9), at 30 000 fps, MPEG-4 Visual (Simple@L1)

Unable to import/preview any video file using Lightroom 5/5.2

Hi,
I am a fairly new user to Lightroom (around 4 months), and have been fascinated by the capabilities of this software when it comes to photos. From the start, I used to notice (but chose to ignore) that lightroom would not be able to import any of my video files successfully (all in supported formats such as avi, mov, mp4, usually mov from my Nikon DSLR). Recently, I have started digging around to find a solution for this and fix this issue of not being able to preview or import any video file. I have gone through most of the related posts around the interwebs about this (including installing QuickTime, checking my AntiVirus, checking specific processes whether they are running or not). As a last attempt to resolve this, I am hoping to get some expert help on this form. As a sample of the error message which I get to see everytime is attached below. Also given below is my system info. I can provide further debugging information if required, but I really, desperately want this to work and be able to import videos. Thanks a bunch!

Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
Thanks for your time!
-Monty

The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
So you must have common timecode.
With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
(another third party application)
If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:
http://www.videotoolshed.com/?page=products&pID=26
Sync 'n Link can be found here:

how do I have to adjust the declaration of the mime_type variable respectively what does images.mime_type%TYPE mean?

How do I transfer a WMV video file to my ipad?

I have video clips on my home computer that I would like to transfer to my ipad. They are in WMV form. How do I put them on my ipad?

Better yet, download the VLC app from the App store, which is free.
Use iTunes to select apps installed on the iPad, scroll down and find a box which enables you to transfer files into VLC direct.
Transfer any video file, any format, into the VLC app.
Enjoy watching any video file without conversion issues.

.Avi video files to ipod

do you guys know if there's a way to convert avi files to ipod form. Is there a program that works for free, or does itunes work?

I've broken the code that lets you convert .avi files that works in itunes and updates to my video 30g ipod. Do not try to use quicktime pro 7. Go to www.videora.com and download version 0.91 (it's free, fast and actually works!) you can donate $$$ if you like. I did. Select CONVERT-transcode new video-browse for file. In the Quality Profile dropdown h264/320*240/256kbpsStereo/96kbps click start. From itunes file-add file to library-browse select. I tried to convert selection to ipod but it was already in proper format. Plug in your ipod (I use update video automatically)During ipod video playback choose tvoff or you will only get audio. It took me hours to figure out the puzzle because apple does not support .avi type files. I don't usually post, but I think this info will save everyone alot of valueable time and money.

To send video file with JMF

Hi�
I making an application that it needs to send a video file (of a server to a client). I implemented this using the mechanism of RTP implemented for the JMF. My server sends the archive, that my customer only shows the video for the half and does not appear the bar of control of time in player. And, later that client receives all the data (and she does not show, by the way), the user do not obtain to attend again what it finishes to receive� Somebody could help me in this? Necessary that my customer if holds of similar form to the Youtube. That is, he goes loading and showing how much he has, leaving, the user to manipulate bar of time of player e, also, leaving the user to again attend to the video if thus wanting�
Tanks...

Presumably, you're using the following sample code to create the AVI:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/JpegImagesToMovie.html]
And you're using the following sample code(or something similar) to send the AVI via RTP:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/VideoTransmit.html]
Regardless, instead of creating a DataSource from a MediaLocator that points to your AVI file, you can just use the DataSource that's generating the AVI files, and make that be the DataSource that's driving your RTP session.

How to call servlet from applet residing in Oracle9i forms bean area.

Dear Members
I have an applet which is calls a servlet for database operations. If access this from a browser it works fine as the applet is signed. But When i place this applet in a bean area of Forms in Oracle 9i. It gives access control exception. Can anyone help me, as i feel this problem is with oracle9i forms.

applet in a bean area of Forms in Oracle 9i. It gives
access control exception. Can anyone help me, as i
feel this problem is with oracle9i forms.As far as I recall - Oracle 9i forms is operating on a top of another special/internal servlet. I can't really recall, since I've been working with Oracle 9i forms 2 yrs ago. So total procedure looks like following:
applet -> Oracle 9i Forms servlet -> my servlet
instead of
applet -> my servlet
I think this is an actual reason why your signed applet can't work with your servlet.
Oracle 9i servlet has a number configuration files, I think among them you should change smth to get your construction working. Another approach would be to use servlet filtering before calling Oracle 9i servlet
Hopefully it will help

I have a DVD folder (VOB files)that was rip for me. They play correctly though it has the minus icon and the folder empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

I have a DVD folder (VOB files) that was rip for me form my VSH. The DVD play correctly though it has the minus icon on the folder and appears to be empty and I can't get permission to retrieve my home videos files .

You're not dealing with your typical DVD-Video data structure with a SONATA_VOLUME. This type of data structure is designed to prevent someone from extracting the data and it's very effective at doing so. You've probably already found that the applications that allow you to copy, extract and convert the standard DVD-Video data structure (a "VIDEO_TS" volume) will not work with a SONATA_VOLUME (apps like Toast, MactheRipper and Handbrake).
While making a digital copy is pretty much not an option with a SONATA_VOLUME, capturing the video and sound via an analog to digital capture usually works just fine. Of course, that's not nearly as simple as popping the disc into your computer and a drag and drop or just clicking "convert" or "extract" and waiting for the copy or conversion to finish.
Do you have any video hardware for capturing analog video? A MiniDV camcorder will do the trick if your Mac has a FireWire port. You'll also need video capture software. I'd recommend a version of iMovie that supports DV-NTSC, Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.
My Sony DVD recorder creates SONATA_VOLUMES while my Panasonic DVD recorder creates VIDEO_TS folders. The Sony is unplugged and sitting in the corner.

Oracle9i Forms - Can't Run form

I am trying out the new Oracle9i Forms (Release 2 - part of iDS 9.2.0) on a test machine running on Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0) database. I did not install the Oracle9i Application Server since the documentation says that you can run forms for testing purposes without AS. After I compiled a form, It tried running a form but got error "FRM-10142 - HTTP listner not running on port 8888... " The HTTP server is running as part of the Oracle9i Database and listens to port 7778 for HTTP and 4443 for https. Is there a configuration file or parameter that I need to change?
Thanks,
T.J.

Jacob/Robin:
Thanks for your help....starting the OC4J containers did the trick! I was able to see the form within a web brower using the default port 8888. I am going to stick to this configuration until I upgrade my server since the new Oracle9i Application Server requires a lot of power (not to mention takes alot of resources!).
Thanks again for your help!

Downloading video file problem

when i used to click on links to mp4 files before, a popup would show up asking what I want to do with it. now, it opens up a new tab and starts playing video file. I haven't added any new plugins but i think there has been a Firefox update. Wondering how I can fix it. Thx!

Yes, this is a new feature on Windows. If you want to block Firefox from natively playing MP4s, which basically would return Firefox to the previous behavior, you can switch a setting under the covers.*
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''media''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled''' to switch its value from true to false. Not sure whether this takes effect immediately when you reload the tab you were in or whether you need to restart Firefox before it takes effect.
''* Technically, this setting governs the use of code supplied by Microsoft for H.264 decoding. MP4s that use another form of encoding may still play after flipping this setting.''
