Whats Best way to extract material on a Standard DVD and use within FCP

Hi, I don’t have too much time to research this one (sorry if its already been posted, I’m in a rush!) .. but I’m editing using ProRes LT on my timeline. I have a standard definition DVD and need to extract footage form it so that I can edit it into my timeline.
Without using expensive tools, is there a recommended method to doing this and still retain maximum quality (or as near to maximum quality?)
thanks in advance..

Ahhh! Terribly sorry guys.. Ive already got the tools on my other system.. this is what happens when you spend far too long on a project, the brain cells overreact!
thanks StudioX.

Best Way to Make A Movie From Many DVDs?

I'd like to make a montage of select scenes from 20+ DVDs of raw footage using Premiere Elements 7. I can't import all of these DVDs into the space I've got available on my hard drives. I'd appreciate any recommendations for the best way to extract select scenes from these DVDs into smaller media files that I can then import into a project for final assembly.
I can imagine an approach of putting a single scene into a sceneline and rendering it into an importable file type, but I'm not certain which type to use that won't reduce image quality along the way.
Of maybe there's some whole other approach I'm missing, ie using Archive.
Thanks!

JGW,
Thanks for the clarification and the details. A couple of thoughts:
1.) some of the hardware writers, similar to your deck, do not do the best job at writing to DVD-Video. Many have a rudimentary Menuing function built in. Since a .VOB can contain a lot of "stuff," besides just a multiplexed MPEG-2 stream, the way that they handle the construction can create problems, even for programs, like PE, that can Import and use a DVD-spec. .VOB. It is truely a "sometimes they work, but sometimes they do not." I do not know about the Toshiba. I do not even know about my Panasonic deck, as I have never had to try and work from one of its DVD's. They have always been an archival copy of a client's VHS, or similar. Both might do fine, but both might create poorly formed .VOB's. We'd both have to test this.
2.) while DV-AVI Type II does introduce a bit of compression (someday compare it's file sizes to a DV Uncompressed), it is visually slight. In the case of the MPEG-2's, that was where the quality took the hit. Going directly to DV-AVI will probably not be discernable from the MPEG-2 source files. Now, if you're going back to a finished DVD, remember that you'll be doing another MPEG-2 compression from PE (or most NLE's).
3.) one consideration for quality (at the expense of much more time) would be to do a recapture of your 8mm tapes. If one did this, it would require the camera, or a deck for those tapes. If the camera was a digital, even if the tapes were analog, and it connected via FireWire, PE might be able to do a perfect Capture. Again, one may, or may not loose "device control." If the camera was analog, then something like the ADS Pyro could do the work. Have to say that I doubt, but do not know, that one would have device control, but that's not a really big deal.
4.) there are other ways to rip a DVD. Here's a LINK to a workflow. It's certainly not the only way to do it, and this one is written around Adobe Encore, but should translate almost perfectly to PE, or PrPro.
There are also editing programs that use an MPEG-2 workflow and offer "smart rendering," which means that only footage, that has been altered, will be re-Transcoded to MPEG-2. Unfortunately, I use an exclusive DV-AVI Type II workflow and do not have a clue where to tell you to look for one of these programs. I'd guess that there are some freeware ones, and probably some inexpensive ones. I'm just not the guy to tell you anything about any of these.
As for external storage, the prices are getting amazingly low. On Friday, Fry's (Western states US) had a 1TB unit for US$89. I am ashamed to tell you what I paid for my first 1TB external. Even worse, you should see what I paid for my first 2TB RAID 5 NAS! FWIW, I have been a big fan of and have bought many of the Maxtor 1.5 and 2TB units. So far, not problems.
Steve, or Paul_LS might have some MPEG-2 to MPEG-2 editors for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

What is the best way to extract/consume HR data to and from Peoplesoft?

I have to do integration between Peoplesoft and Oracle ERP to send HR data from Peoplesoft to Oracle HRMS. I will use Oracle Fusion Middleware for building the interface. I don't have much experience in working with Peoplesoft tools, like PeopleTool, App Engine, Integration Broker, Component Interface and Oracle adapter for Peoplesoft. Can somebody please let me know what is the most popular or recommended or best way to extract HR data from Peoplesoft.
The second interface will consume some HR data from Oracle. Once again I need to know different ways to insert data into Peoplesoft.
I appreciate if you can share your experience for the above two scenarios.

If you plan on buying a apple laptop you have two options. You can use time machine or pull the data off of it directly and put it onto the external. I advise the second choice. This way you do not have stuff that you dont need filling up the space on your new drive. Get your applications, music, documents, photos, videos and perhaps downloads and desktop; Put all of these on your external. And then reinstall osx onto your drive.
*** If buying a windows machine next check the format of the drive in disk utility. You will need a program called Paragon NTFS to format the drive window compatibility. You have to pay for the free version but can download a trail version for free.

HT1338 best way to extract a video from a website?

what is the best way to extract a video from a website? THANKS!

how bout a bit more thought on this one, some people are trying to pull a video clip from their 15 seconds of fame on channel 7 news,
or perhaps a short intro video clip, on a site they own becuase it is playing as flash. since they never had hard copy of the video clip, its difficult to ask themselves for permission, if they don't know how, which is, i'm sure, why this fellow did indeed ask.
no such thing as dumb questions...just helpful ones that others may also wonder.

Best way to extract XML value wiith an xpath

Hello,
I wonder what is the best way to extract text value from XmlType with an xpath.
I need to insert a row inside a table where the row's data come from xpath extractions of an XmlType. I do a lot of (approximative 20) :
EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elem1').
EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elemI').
EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elem20').
inside the insert statement
Is this way is the best or is there a more optimal way ?
For example extracting the node '/an/xpath/to/extract/' and sarting from this node extracting "elem1", ... , "elemI", "elemN" children.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
The answer depends on your actual storage method (binary, OR, CLOB?), and db version.
You can try XMLTable, it might be better in this case :
SELECT x.elem1, x.elem2, ... , x.elem20
FROM your_table t
   , XMLTable(
      '/an/xpath/to/extract'
      passing t.myxmltype
      columns elem1 varchar2(30) path 'elem1'
            , elem2 varchar2(30) path 'elem2'
            , elem20 varchar2(30) path 'elem20'
     ) x
;

Best way to extract all images from Messages?

My iPad freaked out earlier today and unfortunately I had to do a recovery and restore (from iCloud backup). I say unfortunately because I was 90% certain I was not backing up photos/video (and there was no way to check before doing the restore). And indeed I had photo/video backup turned off.
I'm mostly back to normal now, except for all the lost photos/videos. I've gone through some of Messages to Save ones I sent there.
What is the best way to extract all images from past Messages so I don't have to tediously load earlier messages? I understand there are some programs that allow one to go through a local backup and go through messages. But for this I suppose I'd first need to make a local backup of everything, no? Are those programs able to extract just images I've sent or do they grab everything (i.e. images others have sent me?)
Related, before I did the initial restore could I have easily retrieved the photos/images on the device through some third-party solution?
Lastly, and semi-off topic.. What determines the image name for an image in Messages? For example, I Copied a photo someone sent me via Messages and Pasted it three times back to her (all at the same time). The image filenames are IMG_6447.jpg, IMG_4820.jpg, IMG_0291.jpg.

Thanks Kirby. I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library. So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop. By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Best way to extract XML data to DB

Hello,
In our work we need to extract data from XML documents into a database. Here are some extra notes:
+ There is no constant schema for the XML documents.
+ Some processing on the XML files is required.
+ The XML documents are very big.
+ The database is Oracle 8i or 9i (Enterprise Edition both) and our framework is NET.
Our questions are:
1. What is the best way to extract the data into the database under the above circumstances ?
2. In case there was a constant schema for the XML documents, would there be a better way ?
3. Is writing the data to text files first, and then loading it via SQL-Loader is an effective way ?
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.

Best way to extract this info?

Hello:
I have information stored in xmltype as follows:
<INFO>
<ASG>
<LMT id="A1">
<LMT_VAL>7</LMT_VAL>
</LMT>
<LMT id="B1">
<LMT_VAL>6</LMT_VAL>
</LMT>
</ASG>
</INFO>
The above info may be dynamic. Example, for some types, There may be additional LMT element with a value of C1 and D1. So what is the best way to extract all of them (A1, B1, C1, D1) - even though in some cases only A1 and B1 may be present?
Do I have to extract like:
select ...
where
t1.xml.col.extract('/INFO/ASG/LMT/LMT_VAL/@id').getStringVal() = 'A1'
Do I have a condition like this where ... = A1
Any help appreciated.

SD reporting- best way to extract SD contracts data

Hi All,
I want to know what is the best way of extracting the SD contracts data from the VEDA table & the technical objects attached to the contracts(which are in tables like SER02, OBJK etc..). Is it possible to enhance the 2LIS_11_VAITM datasource with these fields? or there is a better way of doing this? Is there a standard datasource that can be used?
Any helpful information will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shilpa

You can create a User Exit in CMOD for the 2LIS_11_VAITM DataSource to get the data. There should be a 1:1 (equi or inner join) or 0:1 (outer join) relationship of the data that you want to include, so that you don't create duplicate data.
Another option would be to create generic DataSources and join the data in BW.

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
Have a great day.

What best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012 sp 1

what best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012
and what the difference between wake on lan and out of band service point role

Hey!!! I am a 1E engineer and MVP... we started the power management movement with our very first software product, created around 12 or so years ago, called 1E WakeUp. The complete solution which manages power on (integrated with SCCM, or stand alone if
you are not an SCCM shop) and power off (under a tightly controlled process) is called
NightWatchman
Here is a
recent blog post I authored that was the last in a series documenting the entire wake-up process including how it integrates with SCCM or stood up standalone. It contains links to those earlier posts that explain our entire technology, so you will likely
want to read all of them in order for a full understanding of our technology. It works incredibly well, is the most mature solution in the industry, and is extremely simple to install with minimal resources.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me privately

Best way to extract data from archived cube

Hello Experts,
Can anyone tell me best way to extract data from archived cube.
Basically I am trying to pull all the data from archived cube and then load it into another brand new infoprovider which is in different box.
Also I need to extract all the master data for all infoobjects.
I have two options in my mind:
1) Use open hub destination
or
2) Infoprovider>display data>select the fields and download the data.
Is it really possible to extract data using option (2) if records are too high and then load it into another infoprovider in new system.
Please suggest me the pros and cons for the two options.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Hello Reddy,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Actually in my case I am trying to extract archived infocube data and then load it into new infoprovider which is in different system. If I have connectivity I can simply export data source from archived infocube and then reload into new infoprovider.
But there is no connectivity between those two systems (where archived cube is and new infoprovider) and so I am left with the two options I mentioned.
1) Use Open Hub
or
2) Extract data manually from infoprovider into excel.
Can anyone let me know which of the two options is the best and also I doubt on how to use excel in extracting data as excel have limit of no.of records 65536
Thanks

Best way to do a light glow highlight through a graphic in FCP?

Best way to do a light glow highlight through a graphic in FCP?

Hi -
Lots of ways to do this, here is the method I use- gives lots of control:
Place/edit your graphic on the timeline. Do any motion keyframing you need to do.
Select the clip on the timeline and copy it.
Place the copy directly above the original +2 tracks higher+ (leaving an empty track between them).
Click on the clip you've copied and type Shift-A to mark In and mark Out on the duration of the clip.
Targeting the empty track between the two graphics, go to the viewer and from the Generator button (the button on the lower right of the viewer with the "A" on it) select Render > Highlight. That will bring a soft highlight shape into the viewer. Edit that to the empty track between the two graphics. Don't worry about what things look like at this point.
Now go to the top graphic and from the effects tab, apply Video Filters > Image Control > Brightness and Contrast and also apply Video Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur to you clip on the timeline.
Double click on that clip, and in the viewer select the Filters Tab. Adjust the the filters to get a nice soft glowing bright image of your graphic.
Once you have that, move back t the timeline and Control - click on the +top graphic+ on your timeline and from the drop down menu, choose Composite Mode > Travel Matte - Luma.
As soon as you select it, you will see that the highlight shape in the middle track in now cutting a matte shape for your glowing soft graphic on the upper track.
Now double click on the Highlight clip on the middle track. In the viewer, using the control tab, rotate the bar, change it's width and shape to your liking. To make it sweep across the graphic, switch to the Motion Tab and keyframe a move with the highlight bar starting off to the graphic, moving across it, and ending off the graphic on the other side.
Depending on the horsepower of your computer, you may have to render to see this effect playback while you are working - you will definitely need to render when you are done. The nice thing about doing the highlight this way is that it gives you a lot of control over the apperance.
Hope this helps.
