Importing Transcriber doesn't work

Posted by bkjelsvik at 2009-12-22 13:28

Hello,
I tried today to import a .trs file into Elan (3.8.0). this has worked fine before, and I have occasionally used because of the better printing possibilites in Elan. Anyways, I started a new file in Elan, loaded the video and tried to import the .trs. Elan initialized and open a new window, showing the .wav file which the transcription is made from, but nothing whatsoever appeared in the way of transcriptions.
On the elan0.log I get the first message below. It is a warning that schortcuts.psfx doesn't exist, where can I get it from? There also seems to be some Quick Time problem, I have QT Pro.

22.des.2009 13:02:22 mpi.eudico.client.annotator.prefs.PreferencesReader parse
WARNING: Preferences file does not exist: M:\pc\winnt\.elan_data\shortcuts.pfsx

mediaURL = file:///M:/pc/Dokumenter/A-SKI/Misjonærar/Misjonærintervju/Lunde/Lunde08-07-09-800-lydfix.mov
QT setting sleep time off...

Later on in the log there a number of lines saying Unknown source - it seems the trs-file is not recognised in some way or another. The name is straightforward, with no special signs, or at most hyphens, in it (worked fine before...)
Another piece of the log, sorry about the long post!

Hope you can advise me on this, and it is NOT so urgent that it can't wait till after Christmas ;-). Have a nice holiday!

The error message seems to indicate that something can not be found because the format of the path is wrong. The drive letter "M" seems to be interpreted as the protocol part of a url ("unknown protocol: m"). Maybe it is a reference to a dtd that causes problems? How do the first two or three lines of the .trs file look like, maybe you can post them here?

Thanks for answering me! The first two lines look like this, in Notepad:

I am doing this wrong, sorry about the multiple postings! Hope you are able to actually read the two pasted lines in some view. here they are again, with spaces after the <'s: < ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? > < !DOCTYPE Trans SYSTEM "trans-14.dtd" >

Ok, that shouldn't be the problem. What is the problem I don't know. If you like, you can send the Transcriber file to me (without video); I'll then test/debug using that file. Address: han.sloetjes AT mpi.nl
