Transcoding never ends

Hello all, I'm new to this so bear with me - If I'm making a DVD where the sequence is about five or ten minutes long, everything works fine.  But if I try to burn one of fifteen minutes or more, it never stops transcoding.  The Build Progress window has two bars, the upper one saying "Transcoding..." and it's about 1/10 full.  The bottom bar has no label and it's about 3/5 full.  The program never actually freezes - I could hit Cancel, and while it would take it a moment, it will cancel.  But otherwise it'll stay that way for days, never finishing its transcoding.  Is there some kind of setting I can change to help it get through this?  Not sure what info you might need, I have an HP running 64-bit Vista, a 2.5GHz AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor and 8 GB of RAM.

Okay, I seem to have more than enough room, both in disc space and RAM.  Instead of burning I tried isolating the transcoding process by just doing the "Transcode Now" process.  Much of the transcoding proceeds normally, and in fact it seems the video portion transcodes fine.  But when it's almost done, it gives me an error message saying "Unable to create image buffer" during the "Audio conforming" part.  Clicking the Okay button on the error message makes the message reappear over and over, many times until it eventually goes away.  Trying again to just burn the disc, it gets to the same point within an hour and stops, and has stayed there for over 24 hours.  Any suggestions anyone?

  • FCPX never ending transcoding after Mavericks?

    Hello folks,
    Saw some of the other threads about problems with FCPX and Mavericks.  Fortunately, everything has been fine for me... up to this point.  I didn't see this discussed yet so I figured I'd post my issue in it's own thread. 
    I've been trying to import some files (AVCHD) as usual for ongoing projects.  I copy the files and transcode them to optimized media.  Never had a problem before.  It seems to copy all the files fine, but seemingly never stops transcoding.  I've been trying to import two different projects... about 4-5 hours of footage each... and it's been two days now and the transcoding never ends!  Typically one such project takes about real time to import and transcode (4-5 hours, if not faster, never really timed it).  I'd begin an export in the morning and come back after lunch and it would always be done. 
    That is no longer the case it seems. 
    Has anyone else experience the same issue?  I just installed any and all updates available (nothing for FCPX however), restarted my computer and FCPX, and am trying again.  Hopefully the footage ingests fine this time.  But for the sake of losing more time and getting more frustrated, I'm hoping someone out there has a solution to this in the event the same problem persists for me.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for taking the time to respond.  You've been extremely helpful in the past!   As an update... I started the import around 7pm last night (EST).  This morning, at 5am, it was still importing and transcoding... but it looked like it was at least working.  After restarting last night, I tried to import and transcode a single short clip before doing the full import and that was easily successful. 
    When I get to the import prompt, I only check off "Copy files to Final Cut Events folder" and "Create optimized media".   This workflow has been great for me.  I turn off background rendering and don't even render 2 hour long projects with heavily edited footage before exporting to m4v master files (which turn out just fine without the rendering).  That's beside the point though. 
    Back on track, when I open the Background Tasks, of course the transcoding is going.  The Importing Media is stuck on 99%.  Not sure if that's normal or not... never really paid attention to that in the past.   The Rendering says it's creating audio waveforms.  Again, not sure if that's normal or not. 
    In Activity Monitor, I might have found a problem.  It seems FCPX is only using around 0.5% of CPU during the import.  No other program is running really except for Activity Monitor, which would leapfrog FCPX in how much of the CPU it's using at time.  At the bottom, it says my computer is around 98-99% idle!  That all raises an eyebrow to say the least.  I'm not a computer whiz when it comes to the technical aspect of how my system might be performing and I have admittedly not tried an import on another machine yet (I have three iMac's).  So it may just be an issue with this one machine. 
    It's a 2011 model year running a 2.93 quad, i7.  At least I'm pretty sure of that.  I'm on a corporate event now typing away from another one of my iMac's and won't even know if the import and transcoding back at home is successful until I get back in tonight around 6:30 or so. 
    Even if it is, there's definitely something going on with how long it's taking.  What's typically a 4-5 hour process (est) was still ingesting 10 hours later. 

  • Never-Ending transcoding/importing? Here's the fix.

    Symptom:
    Transcoding keeps getting to 99% or so, and reverting back to 75% and continuing Ad Infinitum in a seeming never-ending loop.
    Problem:
    The registry is corrupted.
    Solution:
    1. Close all programs.
    2. Run Regedit.
    3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Adobe -> Common.
    4. Delete "Media Cache".
    5. Restart computer.
    Another possible culprit has proved to be an application called "FindSounds Palette" and it should be uninstalled completely using the following method:
    Uninstall "Find Sounds Palette" (FS Palette).
    Delete the two registry key folders for "Comparisonics".
    Uninstall Encore CS3.
    Delete Registry Keys for Encore.
    Restart.
    Re-Install Encore CS3.
    Re-Install Encore 3.0.1 update.
    Restart.

    Never should have been a question - sorry.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    anybody knows how long takes the proxy client generation process?

    I have this issue also, with images from my D70 (~6 megapixels) ... no solution, except that when it happens, quitting and re-launching Aperture seems to clear it up for a while, at least until it happens again.
    Given that you have almost twice the RAM and four times the CPU cores that I have, I suspect this is a software issue, and not one of insufficient hardware resources.  :-)

  • I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    Try resetting the printing system.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

  • Initial Time Machine Backup never ends

    Hi all folks,
    I try to backup my PB12 Disc (120 GB) to a external 500 GB Disc, connected via FW400, but the backup never ends, I think.
    The backup starts with 100MB/min but after 20h (80GB are store to a external Disc) it slow down to 1MB/min.
    With the "Activity Monitor" I see only some disc activities and a "mds" and "mdworker" process use some cpu time only (more than 10%).
    Where can I get some detail information, a log file, about the Time Machine activity from.
    Thanks for any help,
    Lutz

    Hi all folks,
    the initial Backup ends after 2 days (nice to to see, :-(),
    but on the boot volume I can go the time walk only.
    I split my disc into two partitions, sorry.
    Bye, Lutz
    p.s.
    With CCC I spend 4-6 hours to back up my disks only (100GB).

  • Mappings never ends

    Dear All,
    We are using 10.2 version of OWB and we have around 80 mappings in one module daily we are running the mappings parallel through control center for the time consuming (manually). but one mapping still running normally it takes 1:30 to 2:00 hrs time to finish but some times it is taken almost 5 to 6 hrs some times it never end. at that situation we stopped the mapping.but while we check the target table data is coming perfect.
    Let me know the cause of this and how to salve it.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    When you kill the mapping from the Control Center the DB session which was triggered by mapping won't kill , you may see the session still running from Session Browser or any other way. This may be the reason you see the data in the Target table. to test this you may start regular running mapping and kill it from CC and observe the session from Database and you may see the data in the target table too.
    This may be one possibility. I am not saying what others say is wrong . I had experienced this issue before and i had to tune my code to get the mapping run consistent.

    Items purchased in an account a permanently associated with that account.  You cannot split accounts nor merge them.  You can log in with your family account and download items that way.  In the long run though, especially if you are using other Apple devices, you may encounter problems with authorization.  You should look into making new purchases with your own ID.

  • Ipod boot never end...

    Hi all,
    I have a big prob with my ipod photo 40GB : I tried to use it in disk mode to backup my hard disk, and during the copy the ipod gave a unknow error. Since this the ipod start the boot (white apple on black background) and never end, the boot restart every 5-10 secondes... no ipod on dekstop so no way to reinstall it with ipod updater. I tried the 5R but it still the same... Please help !!!
    Thanks in advance

    I am experiencing the identical problem. I am hoping that if I drain the battery until it is completely dead it may force a "hard" reset which when charged again, it may start working properly.
    Let me know if you find anything out.

  • Suddenly never ending pinwheel and slower than usual

    My macbook pro suddenly started to get slow and gave me a never ending pinwheel while only having Safari running. The mouse was working but no response when clicking. Only way to restart computer was by holding down the Start button. Restarted and this time the computer hang up when I tried to Log in (while writing Login and password). I mangaged to Log in two more times but I got the pinwheel again when browsing internet. Finally I managed to make it to Support/Community.. any idea what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance (: !

    Print out these instructions and info at the links provided as most require you to be offline.
    Do a SMC and PRAM reset first, then a Hardware Test
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    If the hardware test gives any errors, note them here.
    Check the time and date on your computer to make sure it's correct.
    If your still having slowdowns, pull the power plug on both the router and the modem, connect the modem and wait a bit then connect the router. Reboot your computer and it should connect automatically to your wifi. See if your slowdowns only occur if connecteted to the WiFI or not, that way it can be determined if it's a internet issue or not.
    (If your still having slowdowns, it might be because you have a Open Network on your router and someone is leaching off of it. WPA 2 with AES is the only secure wifi standard))
    You can test your internet connection speed here, see if it matches what your paying for.
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    IF your computer still has issues then:
    Fish out the 10.6.x disks that came with your computer (grey) or the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, stick it in the computer and reboot holding the c key.
    (Make sure the disks are clean on the bottom, wipe with a very soft cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean and don't place the disk on a harsh surface that can damage the bottom.)
    Second screen in, under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility, select your drive on the left and click First Aid, Repair Disk (please write down any errors this gives and tell us) and Repair Permissions (the results there you can ignore)
    Do not erase or reformat the drive.
    Reboot and see if your computer works, if not repeat the c boot off the installer disk again and this time skip Disk Utility and install OS X.
    It will install on top of your 10.6.8 installed version (only, not your programs or files), which when finished you reboot and immediately Software Update to 10.6.8
    This should take care of anything wrong with OS X itself.
    Now to clean the caches of the user and other checks.
    Download the free OnyX for 10.6 and run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end of the tasks (you can cancel in between reboots) but reboot at the end of using Onyx)
    Do all the checks it asks when it starts up and note any errors here they report.
    Also under the Verify Tab is a Preference (plist) check, check the "show only corrupt files" and run that, make a note of all and any corrupt plist files.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Plist files are preference settings files that sometimes get corrupted and may be the cause of your problems.
    If you have some, then you can look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for them and Trash them and reboot the machine and load the program responsible, the plist file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
    The next thing to check would be your web browser plug-ins here
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    For Flash in Safari check here again as it's more accurate
    http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
    Download Flash and install if it's not this version (latest)
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Silverlight here
    https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
    Finally install and run ClamXAv on your drive, this will look for known malware that might have gotten accidentally installed.
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Since OS X was reinstalled, along with bundled programs like Safari, this should only leave applications and users as a source of any infection.
    If your stil having issues, then create a new user and transfer your files over and when up on the new user, delete it.

  • D10, boot problems, a never ending fan test!

    I hate this noisy fan test!!! My dog always panics, if it is in the room! But that's not the problem.
    If I switch on the external mains, the fan test starts and ends after some ten seconds.
    If I push the switch at the front of the maschine, the fan test starts and - sometimes - never ends. In this case, the maschine - obviously - will not boot. What to do? - Repeat the procedure. Sometimes I need 10 or more attempts to boot the maschine.
    Now I found (shortly before I decided to bring the maschine back to the dealer): The fan test succeeds nearly every time (and the maschine will boot), if I switch off all the external USB-devices (5 disks, WLAN-stick, memory stick, etc).
    My questions:
    what's going wrong with the fan test at my maschine?
    is it possible to skip this crazy fan test?
    Thanks for your help!
    Lenovo PC Think Station D10 6427-H6G, Windows XP

    regarding the fan test, this cannot be disabled.   thinkstations are designed for 24/7 uptime just like servers and the BIOS tests the fans at every boot/reboot.   since there isn't much reason to turn these systems off or put them asleep, the best workaround is to leave your D10 running 24/7 as it was designed to do.   mine only gets rebooted for windows updates, software updates, or video driver updates.   otherwise, it's up 24/7/365.
    regarding the fans getting stuck, update your BIOS.   the latest version can be found here.
    also, if you put your system to sleep, be sure to wake it with the power button and not your keyboard.   a few users have reported their fans getting stuck when waking with their keyboards.   i'm not aware of the issue happening when using the power button.

  • Sync never ends

    I have a new 32mb Touch. I originally synced it while on vacation with PC #1, and it worked perfectly. Now I am home, and I have attempted to sync it with PC #2.
    I tried several times to sync to PC #2, and each time it would successfully transfer all (or most) of my media, but the sync process would never end.
    I am using iTunes 7.6.1.9, and my Touch is version 1.1.3 with Software Upgrade.
    I even went so far as to do a total restore of the Touch, but this doesn't seem to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
