45+hrs and gaining

I've got a:
MacBook Pro
2.8GHz Core 2 Duo
4GB running
10.5.7
iDVD 7.0.4
Quicktime 7.6
AND a:
Mac Pro
2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Xeon
6GB 8000 Mhz DDR2
10.5.6
iDVD 7.0.3
Quicktime 7.6
It is not easy to update the Mac Pro because of the nature of my business. Therefore it is not completely up to date.
Here is my problem. Created a DVD with iDVD on the MacBook Pro. Dual Layer, nearly completely full. Took 12hrs to encode. Popped it back in the MacBook Pro's drive after it was done and it read it. The opening video was incorrect, but so what. Slideshow didn't work - bigger problem. Doesn't work on standalone DVD players, big problem. Everything else a-okay. Figure I'd push an archived version of the project over to the Mac Pro to re-encode, this time as a disk image, which I have had better luck with in the past. Figure I will then fit to disk via TOAST. Pushed the archive over, okay. Opened in Mac Pro's iDVD, okay. Save as disc image, okay. Begins encoding. Now it's telling me 40hrs for encoding time. ?????? My MacBook Pro only took about 12. I moved it over to the Mac Pro to speed things up. What's going on?
And...Why didn't it work the first time? Why aren't my, fairly new, DVD players reading this disk. Why will it play on the computer's dvd drive, but not the slideshow? Why, even in the project view, does it show the right opening scene, but then burnt the wrong one?
Thanks for any help.

Wow! There are so may variables here it's difficult to know where to begin or what to advise .
First off, what is the total playback/ run time for this dvd (in hours and minutes)? Secondly, have you tried making a disc image (as opposed to an archive)? If you make a disc image to the desktop (assuming your mac has the available hard drive space to do this) then I'd test that image with apple's dvd player app. Assuming all plays as expected, then burn to Verbatim at 4x or slower.
Hope this advice helps but if not just come on back.

    You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
    You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

  • Problem with multiple counter plan containing running hrs and no of months

    Hey gurus,
    In my project the preventive maintenance of compressor is such that it is performed after 500 hrs or 6 months whichever comes first. Now i ve created a cycle set cosisting of 500 hrs and 6 months. In the multiple counter plan i ve assigned a counter to the plan for calculating 500 hrs and chosen the link as OR. I scheduled the plan and given the start date as 01.05.09. Now I am facing the following problem:
    Suppose my counter value reaches the 500 mark on 01.08.09. Now a maintenance order is generated. My client now wants that the next order should be generated after the counter reading reaches 1000 or the date reaches 01.02.10, ie, the order should be generated for next 500hrs or NEXT 6 MONTHS from
    the date of completion of first cycle, whichever comes first.
    Pls help....
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    Hi
    If u have scheduled ur plan according to cycle set. It will take the Point of contact as 6 months.
    OK
    Ex : Cycle set : 500 hrs and 6 months, maintained OR functions
    i have entered the measurement reading as 500.. thats why, it gives the call for todays date...
    see the next date will be after 6 months... If u update the measuring point only, it will open a order... otherwise.. once u have scheduled it for 6 months.. once in 6 months it will give a order...
    1     11.05.2009               0     New start  Save to call
    2     07.11.2009     07.11.2009          0     Scheduled  Hold
    3     06.05.2010     06.05.2010          0     Scheduled  Hold
    4     02.11.2010     02.11.2010          0     Scheduled  Hold
    5     01.05.2011     01.05.2011          0     Scheduled  Hold
    6     28.10.2011     28.10.2011          0     Scheduled  Hold
    7     25.04.2012     25.04.2012          0     Scheduled  Hold
    Schedule for a long period.. u will be able to understand the scenario...

  • Control exposure time and gain with FPGA as frame grabber

    Hi,
    I'm using a Basler acA2000 340kc camera with a PCIe1473R FPGA as frame grabber.
    I managed to obtain images succesfully by modifying some of the sample codes. I can also control some of the camera settings thorugh the Pylon software.
    Nevertheless, I'd like to control the exposure time and gain in   LabView.
    Any idea on how to do this?
    Thanks

    Ultimate the serial port on the board is controlled by the code on the FPGA. There are shipping examples that provide the FPGA-side implementation of interfacing the serial port to a host-side interface, which then bridges it to a TCP port, which is bridged to a DLL called "clsernif.dll", which interfaces through the common "clallserial.dll" that Pylon can use to access the camera.
    Depending on your needs, you could interface at any of these layers.
    -If you need to do this with the ultimate in determinism, you could have the FPGA issue these serial commands directly as needed
    -If can do it from the host CPU, you could modify the host-side code and send/receive serial traffic to the FPGA code directly
    -You could examine the example code that bridges to a TCP port and simple write some host VIs that talk directly to it by opening a TCP session to the socket it uses.

  • Listen and gain the information of portlet

    hello , I want to listen and gain the information of portlets which are running in the portal . For example , when a user post a request to the portal and it will show the portlets in one page , at this time , should I have any solution to gain those portlets' information , such as portlet's name , preference and so on . Should I create a filter ?
    I need your help , thank you very much !

    If you want to build that list on the client in JavaScript, the DISC api provides what you need. Check out the Page object here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/apidocDISC/index.html
    It has a getPlaceables() function which can provide some information about the portlets on the page. The REST calls can also be used to get information:

  • Customer service promised me call back in 24 hrs but it has been 72 hrs and I m still waiting for the call,,,,,

    Apple sent me replacement phones and both with different coverage on them. Repair coverage finishing lot earlier then what I had on the original defective phones. Now they are telling me that he phones they received were different then the ones in Repair Case. After 150 minutes long phone call the rep said me that somebody will call me within 24 hrs and I m still waiting for the call after 3 days. the conversation was polite and helpful all the way from both sides but now I feel like Apple reps are trying to avoid this problem because this is their problem that most likely they misplaced my phones in their wharehouse and after my call (one week after the phones received by apple) they started looking for it.
    I had the repair status updated in my profile after I received the new wrong phones. Even the acknowledgement email from apple mentioning that they have sent out the replacement product came to my inbox two days after I received the phones.
    Is this Mr.Jobs Apple ?
    Does anyone has Customer service email address ?

    I know there is a contact us tab on the web page and thats what I have mentioned here that what happened when I called them.
    thanks for ur input though,

  • How long does it take to back up your iPhone it's been 6 hrs and still going!!!!!

    It's been 6 hrs and my iCloud is still syncing ..I don't think this is normal!!!

    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Does your mAh dropping and gaining normal for a Macbook Pro Retina Display?

    I may seem like an over anxious new Macbook Pro user, but I have been keeping an eye on my mAh, just to track what my Max possible power storage is. To my surpise it has been dropping and gaining over the course of a few hours. I just want to know where it should be stabilizing at, and what factors could contribute to the increase and decrease, and if that is normal. The numbers range from: 8562 to 8708 mAh
    Cheers

    Yes, the fluctuation is normal - as your battery ages, the full charge capacity will diminish and it will fluctuate between chagres. Nothing to worry about - completely normal. My 15" late 2011 MBP, purchased this March, had an amperage in the 6890 range when I first got the machine. Now, after 163 cycles, it's down to 6810 mAH.
    Perfectly normal - I could look again in a day and it will change again. Just what it takes to keep those ions on the move!

  • HT4972 syncing my ipad is taking forever, I let it go for 2 hrs and the green bar never moved from 3 ticks

    syncing my ipad is taking forever, I let it go for 2 hrs and the green bar never moved from 3 ticks

    I really hate to give you advice that could lead you down the wrong path. But .... If you enter this into a Google search ...."bypass backup when updating the iPad", you just might find something on cnet.com that would work for you.
    My other thought is that the backup that was created today  - or the very last backup that you created (I think you said it was today) is corrupt. Having a corrupt backup can corrupt the backup process again ... If that makes any sense to you.
    I have seen it recommended that you delete all but one backup from the iPad backups and then try again. That has worked for other users in the past. You know where you can find the backups - we discussed that earlier - and you could try deleting today's backup since you still have the backup from 7/28 to fall back on. I just have no way of knowing - and nobody does - if either of those backups is any good at all.
    Deleting the backup - if successful - will not prevent iTunes from trying to backup the iPad again before you download the update - but it might correct the problem and let the backup go smoothly again.

  • Image Size reduction and gain resolution... Help?

    I have searched the forums and seen plenty of talk of Image Size and resolutions but havent stumbled upon what I need.
    Hopefully someone will be nice enough to help me or to link me to help?
    I have a large photo (3456x2304) but it is at 72ppi.
    I am trying to use it as a very small image (200px or so) but I need it at 300ppi.
    I keep going into Image Size and reducing its dimensions to the size I need and marking 300dpi.
    Problem is when it resizes it gets horribly pixelated!!!
    I cant figure out how to use the image size and/or crop tool in order to reduce the dimensions and not lose quality.
    Best work around I have found is to reduce it to about 750px 72ppi and then in illustrator contract the image to the actual print size while gaining resolution...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There is a relationship between image size and ppi (resolution)  that can not be changed.  Here is an example from the web titled "understanding resolution".
    Let's say you have an image that is 9 inches wide and 6 inches high with a resolution of 240 pixels/ per inch (8.9mb file).  If you change one of the values the other two will change (resample image turned off).  In this example if you changed the width to 6 inches the height would become 4 inches and the resolution would become 360 ppi.
    So if you are taking a large image and reducing the size the ppi has to go up.  There are the same number of pixels in the picture, they are compressed into a smaller space.  The article says this is because a digital image has no absolute size or resolution.  All it has is a certain number of pixels in each dimension.
    Hope this helps.
