Why javax.media.Manager has no constructor?

I don't get why it's ok to call javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(), for example, and not have to create a new instance of it.

All the methods in Manager are static and there is no purpose in having a different instance of Manager for each application

Can't install or uninstall Desktop software and Roxio Media Manager has taken over

I had been having trouble with the Blackberry Desktop software crashing each time I closed it when I was done using it. This morning when I booted my computer I got an error message that said RoxWatchTray9 was unable to locate component. When I tried to close that box it attempted to install something but it just stalls. When I close try to cancel it just freezes. After while it tries to install again only to freeze again.
I figured the best solution would be to uninstall and reinstall the program but when I went into Add/Remove I discovered six listings for Blackberry Device Software for Blackberry 9530 smartphone, one for v5.0 and five for v4.7.0. I finally managed to uninstall the v5.0 at the top of the list but I can't remove the other five. I also can't reinstall the program. Roxio Media Manager continues attempting to force an install and is hogging my system resources. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try this process (you might have to do step 2 multiple times for each instance of what is showing in add/remove programs):
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/WIN7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) Start the organizer configuration over:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully that will get things going again. You might also want to avoid Media Manager unless you really really need it.
Good luck and let us know!

Why is Media Manager doing this to me???

Hi,
I'm trying to get a sequence from DV-PAL to ProRes 422 using media manager but for some reason clips from one tape are being letterboxed in the conversion. It's driving me nuts!
So the original sequence is DV-PAL anamorphic, all clips are DV-PAL with Anamorphic checked. Everything comes through fine except for this one tape. I've created a separate sequence with just one clip from this tape and it always adds a letterbox to it!! If I choose DV-PAL as my destination it's fine but if I choose ProRes or Uncompressed it letterboxes it. I can't see any difference at all between this tape and the others.
Please help...

Have you tried nesting the sequence before exporting?
also - why not export via compressor?

Media Manager not working in Windows7

I installed media manager a few months ago................. and it seemed to work OK for a couple of weeks. Now i get a pop up saying Media Manager has stopped working ( checking for a solution ) a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close and notify you if a solution is available....(which it never does).............. Why cant you guys fix this **bleep**@ This has happened multiple times before......too amny time for me to count...... i wind up uninstalling and reinstalling with the same outcome??? Come on NOW.

Media Manager: What features do work? What doesn't?

Hi,
For those people for whom the media manager works, what works? What doesn't? What version of FCP and MacOS are you using?
I've just spent the last several hours trying to reconnect clips by hand after FCP 5.0.4 crashed while using the Media Manager to consolidate Media Files into one folder (from the manual volume 4 pg 104-105) for archiving. I am beginning to despair. Luckily I've done this after writing out what should be the final version of my project to DVD, so if I can't succeed, as long as I don't need to edit anything I should be ok.
I can tell you what's not working for me: the workflow of capture-now an entire miniDV tape to disk. I've tried many different approaches, and everything seems broken. I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9 and FCP 5.0.4.
Specifically the aspects of Media Manager which are broken for me:
1) (page 103) Removing Portions of Media Files after creating subclips. "A common logging and capturing workflow involves capturing each tape to a single media file, breaking the master clip into subclips, and then using the Media Manager to create individual media files for each subclip."
That is just plain broken. Even when I delete the master file as recommended, it does not break up the media file into individual files for the subclips. I've seen that problem referenced here before. Creating subclips from the subclips and removing subclip limits gives me the entire 1 hr tape again, when all I want is the smaller portion which does not cross DV start/stop boundaries.
Talking with a creative helper at the Palo Alto Apple store I learned that if you don't delete any media between clips, it doesn't make a file break. I have not tested that, instead I used the alternate workflow he proposed of selecting my subclips (created from the markers made with DV start/stop detect) ctrl-click -> batch export, item settings: make movie self contained. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that that workflow introduces errors in the time code, making recapturing the project to reconstruct it impossible.
2) Consolidating Media Files into one folder (pg 104-105) - This is also broken and caused FCP to quit unexpectedly. Both the source and destination disk had enough disk space to hold two or more copies of the entire project. What's worse, although I've been able to reconnect most of the clips created using the batch export process menioned above, some of them complain that they need the complete 1-hr clip to play properly. Those clips were deleted weeks ago, and I was able to edit and work on the project successfully without them. Why are they needed now? The small clips do appear on disk, I can see them but they won't play without the long file.
Nothing I've tried with the media manager has worked. Has anything worked for you? I'm especially interested if you use the "capture now" feature to capture 1-hr tapes and log later.
Thanks,

I use MM all the time, but only for certain things. I can share some observations:
If you are using MM to "Create Offline - Remove Unused", the original media all needs to be present in order for the unused media to be removed from the offline clips MM creates. This is they way I use MM all the time - capturing long clips at RT or DV quality, and then removing unused media with MM, recapturing at high quality.
I might try to use MM to copy media used in a certain sequence, but I would never try to move the media in a way that would automatically remove or alter any of my already captured media. If FCP crashed in the middle of the operation (perhaps it hits a file with incorrect permissions) your media will be half-moved, and some of the media might get corrupted. I have reassembled a few projects like this for friends and it was not easy.
Speed adjusted clips - I still see TC issues every now and then when using MM on speed-adjusted clips - here is my workaround: I go through my edited sequence and pick out as many of the speed-adjusted clips as I can find, copying and pasting them into a new sequence, where I remove the speed adjustments. I include this new sequence in my selection when I initiate MM, this creates new master clips for the speed-adjusted material that are guaranteed to come up with the correct in and out points. If during my re-assembly I find that and of these clips have a problem, I know there will be enough media in the master clip to replace the speed-adjusted media without having to log and capture a new clip.
One major bug in MM I have found with FCP5 is that when using MM to convert a DV sequence to an Uncompressed offline sequence, any graphics or animation movie files (animation codec) can no longer be rendered at full quality without replacing them one by one. My last project had 70 of these files in a 1-hour program.

Media Manager On The Mac - OSX

Anyone have an idea when this will be available?

But why? Media Manager is a poorly written application that has very little support. They *finally* released a patch after months, but still no video support. It doesn't run very well on a PC and, in my experience, often loses its connection with the DVR. Can't tell you how many times I tried to pull up pictures on the DVR and it failed to connect, often resulting in me being somewhat embarrassed and having to reset either the router, the DVR, or the application to finally get it to work while my family/friends just wait around.
You would be 1000x better off just getting an AppleTV. I have one now and it's so much easier to use. The slideshow/screensaver features are really really nice. Music: awesome. Videos: awesome (although it's limited to mp4/m4v formats). I now have over 200 movies converted and stored on my Mac ready to be viewed any time. Youtube: awesome.
A PS3 or Xbox360 is equally awesome in its abilities to stream pics, movies, music, etc.

Media Managed projects audio i/o's have shifted

Trying to archive projects using Media Management has been enormously frustrating: crashing frequently, causing problems with hds being recognized, having to force quit on my mb pro.
Now I find that the projects have audio problems: the i/o's have shifted.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I guess a workaround would be to drag over the original audio, the files aren't that big, but all the effort I've put into MMing makes me think I should skip that process and just move all the original media used in the final sequence.
All the problems I'm having now have resurrected memories of a few years ago that I'd largely forgotten. These are the same problems that made me stop before.
FCP is a great app, but this part of it *****.

This board is full of people that are update crazy...
even when they have perfectly good working systems.
i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
firewire devices.
will take note of that from now on.
Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
running the update again with all firewire devices
unplugged.
While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
reset
again.
Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
-Press the Setup knob
-Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
-Press the Select knob
-Press the Value knob
-Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
back
in
-Power the interface back on
i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
see if that doesn't get you going.

cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.

Problem with Roxio Media Manager - Desparate for an answer

In order to get my Roxio Media Manager to work. Do I need to have access to the browser on my BB8300 Curve. I am not subscribing to the internet on my BB but I do on my computer. Could that be the reason why my Media manager is not working properly? I am desparate for an answer since I have photos on my Blackberry that I need edit and and sent off. What good is the camera if I can't take the photos off of it? I have tried uninstalling the software and then re-installing it. I still can't get the Media Manager to appear in Roxio. The one time I did get it to work, I start getting Runtime errors when I tried to bring up Media manager. Please help..All the rest of the icons..back/up, synch, etc is appearing..just can't get the Roxio Media manager to appear now.

Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, plug your BlackBerry in and enable Mass Storage Mode. Then just access the memory card from Windows Explorer. For what you want to do Roxio is overkill, and complicated.

Media manager adding frames

i'm trying to export 4 layers of video (rough composite layer, blue screen layer, matte layer and background layer) with media manager. i need to send these shots to compositors to make the final composites. i'm using media manager because it seems like the easiest way to give them what they need as separate files. i want to create new quicktimes of the shots in my sequence at exactly the same length as they appear in my edit (no handles).
when i try to export with media manager, the sequence that it creates is the same as my sequence but the quicktime clips that it creates are not. media manager has somehow added 4 frames to the head of the clip on layer 1 and 9 frames to the head of layer 2. i need for the compositors to be able to line up the layers by just lining up the heads of the shots.
my media manager settings are:
-"copy media referenced by duplicated items"
-"include master clips outside selection" is NOT checked on
-"delete unused media from duplicated items" IS checked ON
-"use handles" is NOT checked on
-"include affiliate clips outside selection" is NOT checked on
-"base media file names on existing file names"
-"duplicate selected items and place into a new project" IS checked ON
-"include nonactive multiclip angles" IS checked ON
footage and sequence are: AJA Kona LHi: 1080psf 23.98 Apple ProRes 422
any suggestions would be much appreciated.
thanks.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for replying.
I am working on an animation edit. The clients send us a master QT with audio. I export the audio for animation lipsync, the animators then send me QTs with the audio I have exported embedded within them. The clients have the original audio and have requested that the QTs we send back contain just picture.
The delivery specs state I need to send a project and media to the client.
There are no audio clips in my timeline apart from the QT sent by the clients. In my edit I add our animations above the client QT and send the sequence. Before, when I was using QTs with audio I was not cutting the audio into the sequence just using the audio from the master QT the clients sent. My new QTs (with no audio) are being dropped onto the timeline on a higher video track but when I export them they add '-v' at the end which does not fit into the clients naming convention.
I hope that made sense, any help is greatly appreciated.
Tom.

Verizon Media Manager won't open in Windows.

My Verizon Media Manager was working fine and all of sudden I get this error message

Roxio Media Manager won't run and get error messge about C+++

Error message says Media Manager has requested Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact suport team. I wrote to Roxio about it and supplied screen shots of the message and their response was to contact RIM. Typical run around. Same problem on a different computer where I had a working version of BB Desktop Manager and then installed the new 4.7 and started to get the same problem. Would seem this is a RIM problem. Anyone else out there that knows anything about this error or how to get past it?

Trying to consolidate project with Media Manager but it's not working

I have a 3 minute final video that I want to consolidate with media manager. I would like to have it copy the portion of the clips I used plus 1 second handles. I have checked every appropriate box but it still will not create smaller clips. For example I have a 5 GB movie clip that I used about 4 seconds of in my final edit. Final Cut is still copying over the whole file into the new folder instead of just extracting the portion I used plus the handle. I have deselected the box referring to include master clips outside of selection.
I have gotten this to work before, is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Robert,
Media Manager has a few quarks (you've no doubt noticed!). The two biggest that I've noticed are:
CUTS MADE IN TIMELINE OF SEQUENCE
Once a larger clip is loaded into a sequence, and cuts are made to it within the sequence Media Manager loses track of the the missing middle parts. For instance if you load an hour long clip into a sequence. Make a cut at 5 minutes and a cut at 55 minutes, then delete the middle 50 minutes and slide the two cuts together; Media Manager should represent that only 10 minutes would be retained when "deleted unused media is selected." Instead, it will think the entire cut is still being used.
*To solve this: "Select All" cuts in the sequence, then right click and select "Make Clip Independent"*
CUTS WITH SPEED CHANGES
The other issue with Media Manager, cuts that have speed changes (anything other 100%) may not reconnect correctly in the new consolidated sequence. This has been a long time problem and has gotten much better in version 6. However, it still has some weirdness...
*To solve this: "Make sure you add some amount of handle. I use 1 sec and it seems to work on larger complex projects."*
Hope that helps. Good luck.
Dan
