Where do my capture files go

Just got a powerbook with ilife etc I have never used Imovie but work on Final cut pro just finished a little video but cant find my captured footage to move it of my hard drive where does it go by default.

Ok thats simple enough so basically imovie squeezes all your media into one file which is the main launch file that you created for you movie so there are no media files sitting elsewhere on you hard disk so when I copy to my external all I do is drag that one file correct as I dont want to delete anything.
as a gift:
,,,,,,, and ........
back-to-topic:
an iMovie project is a single file on your harddrive; it has an icon with a star on it; THAT is a package, or .pkg. with ctrl-click you can "open" such files.... and you find a media-folder as in older versions of iM containing the clip01.dv etc....-
but as said: you can corrupt your iM project easily.
why do you import via iM and not directly into FC??

Screen Capture file location?

Suddenly my screen captures are sent only to the clipboard instead of the desktop as they used to. How can I change that back? I'm using ShiftCtrl+Cmd4 or ShiftCtrl+Cmd3.
Also, where would you change where the screen capture files ends up?

You're pushing too many buttons. The additional ctrl button copies to the clipboard.
See the Preference panels>Keyboard>keyboard Shortcuts for the list of buttons.

Setting file name of captured file in DVRcast application

I've looked through the scripts in the scripts/ directory, but haven't seen anything obvious.
I would like to be able to specify the file name to capture the stream to. At present, the capture file is always named the same as the stream, which means if I stream for a bit, stop, then restart, the originally captured file gets overwritten. I'd like to be able to incorporate something, i.e. the stream start time, into the capture file name.
Pointers to where I can do that?

Good that you found the previous issue solved
For me, the best always is to go for mp4 format irrespective of the encodings. MP4 can support VP6/H264/MP3 and AAC.
And for FMS to record a file in mp4/f4v format, you need to prefix a mp4: to the stream name while publishing and/or recording. This "mp4:" mentions the FMS to load the mp4 module and all the stream actions are now under its control.
It is a general usage that for VP6-MP3 we go for FLV format (for which no prefix is needed) for H264/AAC , we go for MP4. But as I said, MP4 can serve all your purposes.
There are no APIs as such on FMS that I can think of , to do this. All you need to do is to add the prefix or not. It can be controlled either through a good client logic or , can be totally eliminated by having a singular structure.
Hope this also helps you for your work , Thank you !

When I capture a still frame froma video in Llightroom 4.3, where does the captured frame end up?

When I capture a still frame froma video in Llightroom 4.3, where does the captured frame end up? I cannot find it. Stan

It will be right next to the movie in your library and the jpg file will end up on your hard disk right next to the movie file. You can see the actual file by right (or control) clicking on the image in the library view and selecting "show in Finder/Explorer"

Not Java..but..Ethereal packet sniffer and (*.cap) capture files?????

Didn't know where else to post a question like this..
I want to view a certain capture file and see what's happening. I want to userstand the attack and explain how the overlapping IP fragments are be used but i have no clue.
Does anybody know anything about this or know more about it and can inform me on some information about this as to what is going on??? I have no idea how to know what is happening here in this file and was looking for some answers or a website that can teach me.

There is something i'm not getting, all I have to do is see what is happening describe the attack and explain how the overlapping IP fragments are used.
But when I open this certain capture file, all I see is what is displayed in front of me, a list of all the packets which protocols they are, etc.... but I don't know what it all means???? To me it's just a bunch of characters, How do I know what is actually happening???
For instance.... the first one...
NO. Time SOURCE DESTINATION PROTOCOL INFO
1 0.00000 Cisco_7c:eb:3d Cisco_7c:eb:3d Loop Loopback
It's like okay, but what does that mean???

Organizing Capture Files

Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to capture video in an organized way? What I am capturing is mostly family related video. Whenever I start a new project, the capture files get created in a new folder. This creates a bit of a mess and is difficult to find the files when I want to go back and create a different project based on a different theme or topic. For instance, I may start a project based on the most recent digital video (e.g., Winter 2007-2008) and then in early 2009, I may want to go back through my old captured files and create a "Family 2008" video. I guess I could keep going back to the same project name (e.g., "Generic Project") and have all of the files downloaded to the folders associated with this project, but there must be a better way to organize what I capture. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a drive dedicated as a 'video clip library' and organize my clips into folders with descriptive names identifying the general nature of the clips contained therein. These names often match the name of the original project that I captured them in, but not always. Inside each folder the clips are named according to a 'yyyymmdd-rr-nnn' numbering scheme where rr= reel number and nnn=a unique clip number. For what it's worth, the Reel Number that I assign to each clip in FCE at the time of capture is the yyyymmdd-rr portion of this name.
I keep a spreadsheet of the clip numbers, cross referenced to a description and various other info (like location, scene, camera used, tape used, etc.) Dates & reel names are self-evident from the clip numbers.
You might also consider something like Foottrack or iDive to catalog your clips.

Network Analysis Module - Capture File Download

Hello,
we have
NAM Moduels Network Analysis Module 3 WS-SVC-NAM-3-K9
installed in
6506-E
software version 6.0
We have generated some Capture files, that we now would like to Download at once. Not by clicking each file and make a single download.
There are some 2000 files, thats why :-)
Does anyone have an idea how to do that? Is there any direct access to the internal Hard Drive? I could not find anything in CLI or GUI Guides.
Thanks

I attached a file with the 6509 config, sh snmp user and sh snmp result.
When I go to :
Setup > Managed Device > Device Information
I've got :
Access to the managed device failed. This may be due to
      1. Incorrect managed device IP address.
      2. Incorrect managed SNMP community string.
      3. The managed device's SNMP access control list is enabled.
If the managed device's IP address or community string is incorrect, please use the input
fields below to set the correct IP address and SNMP read-write community string.
Otherwise, check if your managed device's SNMP access control list is enabled
and make sure that the NAM's IP address shown in the Test popup
window is included in the access control list.
I've got this result when I test SNMP connectivity on the 2220. I tested snmpv3 with authpriv, authnopriv, noauthnopriv.
Test Connectivity :
SNMP read from managed device:     Failed
SNMP write from managed device:     Failed
So I was thinking at some small license requirement for SNMPv3 as no packet were transmitted from the 2220. Unlike in SNMPv1 where I could capture the management packet.

Where are the video files?.

Forum,
I am very confused,not sure I have even entered the subject question correctly.
The MBP will not capture directly to external drive,a former post to the forum has advised me to purchase a firewire card.
Therefore I have captured to a partition on the internal drive.
No problems.
I then dragged the file from the internal partition to the external drive,a green cross appeared which I understand indicates the file has transfered to the external drive.
However when I examine space used on the external drive it is only 157Mb.
Clearly a 30 minute video uses 6 Gb.
I can see that information in the internal partition.
Now what I can not understand is when I choose the file in FCP to enter into the viewer it tells me it is offline.
Thinking it may be in the external drive,despite knowing that it can not be stored in 157 Mb.I start up the external drive.
Now the clips come to life and I can drag them into the viewer and proceed.
So, where is the 6Gb. file?
Why do I need to start up the external drive when the file is not there,or is it.
Some time ago Studio X advised me it is better to enter video files onto an external drive.
So I have taken his advice because he obviously knows what he is talking about.
Any way there is not space to store all my video files on the internal partition,the OS and applications take up 85 Gb. so that means 100Gb. allowing for 10% head room, only about 38 Gb. for video files.
The information I have entered about my kit is accurate.
If my post appears pedantic,forgive me,but so many posters are asked to clarify or give more information.
I hope I have supplied all information required.
Thank you
Michael Craven.

David,
Thank you for your reply.
Your information in paragraph 1 is noted with interest and added to my information book.
I have carried out the steps you suggested in paragraph 2.
157 Mb. is still shown.
When I open the file in Quick time, the following statement appears "The movie could not be opened,The file is not a movie file"
Well to press on I deleted all files from the internal drive partition named "video files" That partition is empty.
So,back to the iomega external drive.
Opened the file "Georgie and her kittens'.
FCP opens and shows the eight clips of that video.
Double click, select "show in the viewer" and they appear in the viewer.
Obviously the video files are on the external drive. I think.
I must have had doubts that a transfer of 6 Gb. from the internal drive to an external drive was so quick.
The iomega external drive shows "extended (journaled)"
In a later post reply Ken Summerall sugests "journaled' slows down information selection.
How do I remove " journaled"?
Should I pose that question in another post?
Thank you for your help.
Michael Craven.

Importing photos, where is my capture scratch folder

Where is my Capture Scratch folder when I import photos?
I am making a claymation movie with about 2000 phtotos that I took with my digital camera. Here is my work flow:
1. Import photos into iphoto - everything works fine
2. Open FCP and create a new project.
3. File>import>files>photos
4. I select all the photos>choose
5. Photos are imported into FCP browser.
Question: I checked my capture scratch and there is no file and no photos. I want to be organized and keep media in one location. I have captured videos from a camera and everything works like it should be.

Newer versions of iPhoto store the pictures in a "Bundle", a special type of folder. Applications use the same method to store their individual components. Normally, bundles can only be opened from the Finder by right clicking and choosing "Show Package Contents" from the drop down menu.
Tampering with, renaming or moving the bundle in iPhoto's Library can render it unusable and you might no longer be able to access your pictures.
Now that they are in there, your best option is to go through the pictures in the iPhoto interface, select which ones you want to use and export them in their native size to another location, such as FCP's Capture Scratch folder, as per previous posts.
How you do this depends which version of iPhoto you have, but it will be either via File > Export or by using the Share menu bar item. This will of course copy the pictures.
For the future, dismiss iPhoto when it starts up with your camera or SD card connected. Instead, launch *Image Capture* from the Applications folder. The interface is largely self-explanatory. You will be able to import the pictures directly to a location of your choosing.

Unable to capture files into external hard disk because of 'drop frames '

I haven't been able to capture footage from my DV camcoder thru firewire to an external hard disk in FCP because i get a message saying 'drop frames were detected'.
This happens when i selected this external hard drive as the scratch disk in FCP.
When i deslect it and select my user hard disk as the scratch disk, the capturing works perfectly. But i just want to capture all my capture files into the external hard disk, not my user hard disk.
The external hard disk's speed is 3500 - could that be the problem? Is it too slow? Its connected thru USB and it is Mac Os Extended Journaled. Its got 250gb of space, so that's not the issue.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you.

No, its a Panasonic gs180, a really good camera.
The camera itself is connected to my computer through firewire. Its the hard disk enclosure that is connected to my emac through USB. Anyway, i'm sure that's not the problem, casue like i said, the capturing works fine when i use my user hard disk as the FCP scratch disk.
The problem i have is when i try to capture footage from my camera to the external hard disk enclosure. When i press 'capture now' and press play, the playback stutters and a messsage appears saying, "drop frames detected" and the capturing stops.
I feel like i need to adjust something in FCP itself - like a preference or something - just not sure what.
Thnx for your suggestion though and if you know what i should do, please let me know.

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?

I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?

The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.

You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
I agree.
Are you always moving them around?
When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
*OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
I have several hundred playlists with these files
Why would you have several hundred playlists?
I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
I just need an answer to the question.
Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time.

Where are iPoto modified files stored on my computer?

When I go to Music/iTunes/, I can find a subfolder that includes many subfolders of Albums, Artist names, and the songs I put into iTunes. Same thing with email files. When I go to Pictures/: I can see an iPhoto Library icon (but no /subfolders) which I assume contains all the files in some kind of compressed archive.
My backup harddrive crashed (where I stored my iPhoto subfolders) and I found two iPhoto Library icons, one sized 2.2 MB and one sized 5.7 MB? The bigger one would not import pictures, only the smaller.
I would like to know where my modified photo files are stored in the my main harddrive,

Thanks Terrence, that solved my question.
Before the two replies I received, I had double clicked on the smaller file and it started importing. I immediately stopped that import and started importing (from where, I could not tell) using the larger Library, and it took all night to do so. Thankfully: the files were GB, not MB. However the import created thousands of Faces (which I had never tried to do), so now it is 8.75 GB in size.
Then I checked my post and found your solution. I control-clicked on both Libraries, and followed your helpful instruction to not change anything, but looked around to see what was there. The smaller Library had separate folders for each year from 1999 to 2006. So, I assumed it was an older Library containing noting past 2007. Looking in those yearly folders only resulted in what appeared to be subfolders of data files. When I looked into the larger library, it had the same folders (1999-2006 only), but it had imported photos from 2007 thru 2010 also?? Looking around for those years, I found a folder called "Originals" which contained subfolders for 2000,3,4,& 6-2010 only. In those folders were jpegs of a lot of my later photos.
Therefore, I assume that the "Original" folder contained photos that had been modified and were now "enhanced originals", but it still seems funny that the Library did not contain folders separately named "2007" - "2010" to keep track (data files) of those photos.
Looks like I have all my thousands of photos, but since I am an inquisitive engineer, are my assumptions correct, and is that archival folder methodology I just described (previous paragraph) something that is going to create a problem?

When i send a file over iChat to another mac it compresses the file, where is this compressed file stored?

Today i was transfering a few folders with pictures and videos over to another mac and I noticed that before i sent the file iChat would compress it. Now this is understandable because they were fairly large files, over 2GB, and this would make them transfer faster. The problem is that I was transfering the files because my mac is low on hard drive space and I was trying to free some up. By compressing the files first it was using up more space on my hard drive and I quickly cancelled the compression. I soon realized though that my hard drive space was still disappearing into thin air. I only had 6GB left and was running out fast. As it reached 2GB I began to quickly delete large files I no longer needed hoping that I wouldn't run out of space. It dropped all the way down to 12.4MB before it finally stopped, even with me deleting files. I'm not quite sure what was happening to all of my hard drive space, but was wondering if maybe iChat continued to compress the files even after I cancelled the compression. Anyways if anyone knows why this happened or where iChat stores the files it compresses that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have heard of this before.
One report suggested it was only PDF files their case.
I cannot replicate it with any pic files (Over 2Gb) PDF or otherwise or files and folders combos.
My tests were from Lion/iChat 6.0.3 to Snow Leopard (iChat 5.0.3)
I would have thought iChat would have created the Zippped/Stuffed files in the same folder as the original items
(i.e pic in the pictures folder (or relevant subfolder) and other files and documents in the Documents folder.
With any application that does Stuffing/Zipping it will create temporary space for doing so.
Much like the way a graphics app creates a Scratch file to keep the 20 or so Undos it works with. (with graphic Apps you can make the Scratch file on another Drive if you have one which can help)
Do this:-
with iChat Open go to the Window Menu.
Select the File transfers item
In this Window (that pops up) select the File that was going to be Transferred.
When it is highlighted then do a Right-Click or Control Click and select the option to Show in Finder
Does it list the zipped file ?
