Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content, Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content

Out of nowhere, I can't seem to add DVD-ROM content to my latest DVD. The folder is about 1100 photos and weighs in at 1.6GB. The content is accepted, the DVD burns and all seems right until you try to access the DVD folders. The video plays beautifully. The folder structure displays but I can't even get the VIDEO_TS folder to display detail consistently. This isn't my first time to the fair, I've been authoring with DVDSP for 8-9 years.
I went back and reviewed the the procedure step-by-step, I even re-named all the photos to comply with ISO 9660 naming conventions... no joy. I've
burned it with and without the Joliet Extension Support, no difference.
I'm on an (early 2008) 8x3.2GHz Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and FCS3.
Anyone ever seen this? I'm stumped.

Michael, thanks for the response. It turns out it's both the size and quantity of photos.
I feel stupid for not solving this earlier, but it took a trip to one of my back-up systems to see the problem:
The SuperDrive simply doesn't have the bandwidth to quickly transfer sufficient info to display these additional folders. I tried the same DVD on one of my souped up G5 dualies (with new 16X burner) and it seemed to incrementally display the folders. That's when I realized that a DVD with a couple of GB of video on it is a poor display system. LOL
I'll re-organize the data into more, smaller folders and instruct the recipients to be patient or drag the folders to their desktop.

I am having problems importing from a DVD or a CD to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I initially set everything up on a computer with windows 7, and authorized the windows 8 computer as well. Howevre, the oly thing that comes up on windows 8 is my purchases

I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store. I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos. As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs. The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

Problems with "Author once" workflow, can't transcode HDV to BD and DVD

Adobe claims that with Encore CS3 you can
"author once, deliver to three formats" -- Blu-ray, DVD and Flash. I have been doing some research and testing, but have not been able to get it to work.
It seems as though Encore is not capable of taking HDV 1080i60 footage and transcoding it for both Blu-ray and DVD. The Blu-ray looks great, but the downconverted transcode for DVD is completely unusable.
Link to screen shot of HDV to DVD transcode. (Note: this is a frame at 100%, so the "comb teeth" really are that big.)
I have seen some pretty pathetic downconversions from HDV to DV resolution, but this is the most creatively useless one I've come across so far.
I have been able to use Dynamic Link to get an almost acceptable "author once" workflow from HDV footage. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to get Encore or After Effects to render fields for the DVD transcode, so fast-moving graphic elements and text have jerky/strobing motion.
FYI, I got Dynamic Link working well for non-fast clips by doing the following:
Make sure that "Separate Fields" was set to "Upper" in "Interpret Footage" for the HDV clip.
Set the clip's frame blending mode to "Frame Mix" ("Pixel Motion" works, just take longer).
Enable Frame Blending for the comp.
(Enable Motion Blur for the comp if any layers are using Motion Blur).
If only there were a button to enable field rendering for the comp along with Frame Blending and Motion Blur, as both of those options directly affect how the Dynamic Link renders/transcodes in Encore.
I noticed that without Frame Blending enabled for both the clip and the comp, the motion in the transcode was very jerky, even though the clip had not been time stretched/remapped.
Does anyone know of some way to get the mythical "author once" workflow to work? Perhaps it's only for progressive workflows and not interlaced? Could this be a Mac-related problem (I have not been able to test on Windows)?
I know I can downconvert first, then import into Encore, and that does work fine, but that completely negates the wonderful concept of "author once".
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Ruud,
Gspot showed there was a problem with the file. What it said was of the 130K frames, most were not needed. I went back to the editor and reconstructed the 130K file. Had problems trying to export to M2v. PPro 2.0 would freeze every time, sometimes in a few minutes, sometimes just short of completing, approx 2 hours(this was a 2 pass vbr setup). I experienced problems just trying to make an AVI file for importing into Encore 2.0. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I first started this journey(over 300 hours). My first shot at elation occurred when I decided to try an m2v at vbr 1 pass instead of 2 pass. It worked. I say this because of late I have successfully made an Avi file, Imported the timeline and in fact satisfactorily made an m2v file (2 pass). The m2v was also brought into Encore 2.0. Though I have 4 HD's, it seems to me that as I am moving toward a successful product, I'm finding that I've located all my assets on one HD. Is this the way to go? I'd like to thank the alert for using Gspot. And I will, always. I believe that if I had used Gspot earlier I would not have been trying to fix the problem using a bad asset.
I've been able to make an iso file, though having trouble making a playable disc.

Problems with audio in quicktime file for dvd authoring

i have converted sequence into quicktime file for burning into dvd. i have am experiencing some problems with voice over which disappers and comes back later in the quicktime file when i play it. this quicktime file is made as self contained movie. I have traced this back to the original sequence in the timeline to a white line or series of line in at the top of the time line. one is for video and the other is for audio. when the first line appears the voice over gets interrupted and audio stops in the quicktime file but its ok in the timeline. when the white line shows again the voice over can be heard again in the quicktime file and audio stops again at the start of another white line. there is no loss of audio in the sequence in the timeline. so please can someone help me understand what the problem is.

thanks tom. i am refering to render bar in the timeline, upper for video and lower for audio. May be i shoud describe them as white line gaps between dark grey or steel grey bar color.
what do you mean by down mixing? please advise

Problem with adding DVD-ROM content

I have placed a folder in the build folder which contains another folder in which there is a pdf document.
In the inspector I have flagged this folder as DVD-ROM content. However, when I burn a test disc the additional folder is not being burned to disc. Can anybody help?

Here's what you need to do:
Let's say you want to have a ROM-folder named "PDFs" on your final DVD.
Collect all your pdf-files and put them in a folder in any location/HD and name the folder "PDFs". Do not put it into your build folder.
Now, put this folder into another folder named "This is the folder containing everything I want to add as ROM-content to my DVD".
You may wanna choose another name, but just to make a point..
This is the folder that you flag in Inspector.
When you build your DVD, it will not show up - it is only added when you format.
Try to format to ".img" first to check that everything looks ok.

I really dont know how to explain this but here it goes. Idk how this happend but i want to somehow get my music from my ipad onto my new computers itunes. The problem is that my ipad is authorized on a broken pc which is authorized with an old apple id.

Hi
Alright im not quite sure how this happend but here it goes. I am trying to sync all the content from my ipad to and new computer. But i get a message that my ipad is authrorized on another computer. But the problem is that my old computer is broken. I also think that the old computer was authorized with my ipad from my old apple id which i do not know the username or password. So how will i be able to authorize my ipad on my new computer?

Wow my luck. Unfortunally my backup file is corrupt :/. i was thinking is it possible to put my music on my computer via copytrans or other software then transfer my purchases on my ipad like apps. Then restore my ipad so that the other authorization is gone then transfer my music to itunes then register my ipad to my new computer then sync? I could also put my music on disc or something else instead of a transfer software if that would work.

DVD authoring problems since adding external drive-coincidence or problem

I've connected an external drive to home unit to store footage. I feel this external is a little slow compared to my Mac but not sure how to find out.
Anyway, I create mpv files for DVD authoring. Same process as always EXCEPT the external housed footage. Build DVD as always. Now my boss has these DVD locking up or pixelating. Yet, if she plays an older disc it still works fine in her system. Her other DVD player sometimes does not recognize the disc. I've even created the mpv files and went to FT work to build the disc. It eliviated the problem but did no cure it.
This problem does not happen on all discs.
All these problems happened with the very next disc and almost all the discs that have been involving the external. Coincidence or problem.
I intend on getting a LaCie external to use. We use them at FT job and never a problem. But until then:
I'm thinking of creating a QT file on the Mac hardrive and then compress.

DVD authoring / compatibility problem.

I would like to know if anybody can help me with a very frustrating situation in which I find one of my video productions: after producing a YOGA video and going through a very happy production and postproduction period, we decided to Author ourselves a DVD for replication and this is what happened: after editing in final cut I compressed with compressor then went into DVD studio pro 4 and did the authoring following all the steps that we learned with the video tutorial of Larry Jordan which basically recommends to use Roxio toast for the final burning, everything looked good and chapters and extra audios, menus seemed to be well done, then we went into the testing for compatibility issues and we found that we could not play the DVD either in PC nor in 90% of the DVD players, but we could see it with no problem in any macintosh available to us, amazed of the outcome we send the DVD disc to the replicating company for their diagnosis and they told us that we had a problem with compatibility and that they need to re-author almost everything with a cost that we did not have in our budget. I decided to try not making the final burning with Roxio and did it with DVD studio 4 and the same thing happened, for a while we thought that we did something wrong in the process and we repeated several times with the same outcome, I suspect it has something to do with deciding which regions to make it ( we always choose all the available and we left unchecked the section for anticopy and macrovision because we thought that the replication business needed to apply that part. Tried to get some info from them and we only got more confusion, they told nothing about the anticopy issue and the only answer they gave us as the possible cause of the problem was that is a problem related to Mac G5 of recent production that they produced DVD only compatible with Mac computers which seems to me a very surrealistic answer difficult to believe…finally I am in a situation in which I am delaying my clients video and cannot tell why and also we made an investment in software in order to give authoring services to our clients that I can’t use or offer anymore... And the replicating company is telling me that they cannot really tell me what the problem is so I can solve it and just pay for the replication but they can solve it for me paying an extra cost. I would be very thankful if somebody helps me.

Yeah...we would need alot of info from you to pin point the issue here. First of all, replicators only press plastic. They generally know nothing about DVD. Have you produced many disc in the past, especially for replication? If not, you need to hire someone who knows what they are doing. There's too much that goes into DVD. Its much more involved than just editing
You said you went for testing? Who tested it? how?
ALL your steps - bitrate, type of audio, ect ect.

Problem with AppleID/Authorizing music/prompting me for an old ID no longer in use

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with a 3.06ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8gb of 1067 Mhz Ram, 320gb 7200 rpm HD running 10.8.2, and an iPhone 4S running 5.1.1.
My issues began last year when I upgraded to the 4S. This was the beginning of iCloud, and the beginning of my nightmare. My phone constantly asked me for AppleID's that didn't belong to me and when I hit cancel, they just kept popping up. When I finally got it to my own AppleID, iCloud never fully worked and ended up screwing up all my contacts and deleting many of them until I finally turned off iCloud in favor of syncing with my computer locally. At the time I was running 10.6.8 on my mac, so I assumed it had something to do with the difference in IOS 5 (which was new) and the pre-Lion software on the computer. I waited to upgrade my mac until Mountain Lion came out recently. I did a clean install, and also did a clean install of 5.1.1 on my iphone to eliminate any issues with compatability (pre ios6). However, the problems continued. My contacts continued to have problems until I had to delete them all off my mac and just use icloud. My emails didn't sync (and still won't). My notes don't always sync. Contacts get deleted and music will no longer sync certain songs.
After dealing with this problem for quite some time, I've exausted all sources of help except the forum. I went to the Apple store, not expecting any help and they didn't suprise me there—the geniuses have been dumbed down since the 00's and the floor people only know new products because they're all hipster fanboys. I called AppleCare. No help there either because 'AppleID's are handled separately' and there's no number you can contact them on. So I emailed iTunes. They came back with the same crap everyone else told me: Deauthorize, then reauthroize the computer. Do they really think that isn't the first thing I tried? I also checked the forum here but couldn't find a similar issue. So, like most issues I have with Apple products today, I resorted to my own knowledge and ability to try and figure it out. I tried this method: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3927039?start=15&tstart=0, but when I deleted the song like it said, I was not able to redownload it. iTunes claimed I never purchased it even though my ID is listed on the song when I hit 'command I' on the song or try to play it.
Basically, iTunes thinks I have multiple ID's. When I was in 4th grade, I made the ID 'raiscool14...', then changed it later to 'reecardoesbueno...', and now to 'r.arnett91...'. I never had problems authorizing my music in the past though, because to my knowledge, each time I changed my ID it overwrote the old one. Apparantly not, because now songs I originally purchased with those older names are asking me for my apple ID and won't let me play them with my current one even though I changed it on the Apple Site. This is what I believe is the heart of the issue causing me the headache with iCloud. When I hit certain songs (about 300/3000), they won't play because they say they were purchase with "reecardoesbueno" or "raiscool14", even though, they should be working under my current ID. And most of the songs do work! So I believe the issue is with Apple, and maybe even with certain special iTunes songs. I noticed many of the "free iTunes song of the week" won't play. I also noted that when you download such songs and try to "complete the album" on the iTunes store, it doesn't recognize that song as being purchased which would indicate to me that it's entered differently in their system, which makes me think that this may also play a factor in my issues.
Also, another issue I had last year (which I don't know if it is related because I can't call iTunes), is that my iTunes account would randomly lock itself out, and then it would force me to change my password. This happened at least 6 times in a 3 month period last year while I was at school. No idea why. I emailed Apple and called AppleCare but they gave me no answer.
Anyways, if anyone can help me with this, please do. I've been an Apple customer since they had iBook's—it's all I've ever known and generally I've been very happy with the quality and service, but I can tell you the way this company has been treating customers for the last 5-10 years is atrocious. The service is, and continues to decline. I remember a time when you didn't even need a genius bar appointment, and the floor people would often try to help you on the spot! Now they're all tied up in beurocratic bulls**t... so annoying when you know that they can do so much better. This company used to be sustained by the customers and it's frustrating to see them turn their backs on the people that were so fervent to keep them going in the past now that they've made a fortune off of us.

Problem with setting Created, Modified, Author, Editor on file i Site Collection from Client SDK

Hello,
I have a piece of code that is used for converting files from a shared file area to SharePoint for customers that move to SharePoint and Dynamics CRM. The relation to Dynamics CRM calls for using custom code an not existing conversion tools.
The code I wrote works fine if the file sent to a regular site in SharePoint, but if I try to use the same code for files in the Site Collection. If I use the address for the site collection in the constructor for the ClientContext, and the relative URL
from that for the file, both the upload and the setting of the attributes fails (I do make sure the file is there before trying to set the attributes).
After some experimentation I am able to upload the file, by creating the client context with the main site URL, and adding the site collection path elements ("/sites/crm") to the path for the file, but using the same the setting of the attributes
fails.
I have tried some other variant where the site collection elements are in the path for both the ClientContext and the file path. Then the upload fails, the file retrival (GetFileByServerRelativeUrl) works, but the retrival of the attributes then fails.
The code below illustrates the variations.
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong, or is this a bug in the SDK?

Anders

Hello,
Thanks for your effort, but you are not addressing the problem.
As I tried to explain, setting the date works fine in the case where there is no site collection involved. There is no reason to believe that this will be different when in a site collection. Also the logon works fine in borth cases. The FieldUserValue.FromUser
can take either an email, or a prefered name. I tested both.
