Background encoding doesn't work

hello, I'm a macbook pro 15' user and I just got into burning dvds with iDVD.
What I've noticed is that it takes **** of a time to burn it because of the encoding.
So I searched the internet and realized I can encode in the background while I work on my project.
The problem is, my preference was already set for a background encoding, but apparently, iDVD wasn't doing it.
I tried deselecting and selecting the checkbox again in the preference settings, but no difference.
I just can't imagine burning another dvd again without encoding it beforehand, because last time it took me about 2hours or more.
The content of dvd was three .avi files, just in case it matters.
Please, help me.
p.s. the actual burning time didn't take long, but the encoding part took forever.

Even with the quality set to "Best performance" and background encoding on, iDVD still goes through the encoding process on assets imported into the project when I burn. The project info window tells me that background encoding of these assets is complete, so why should iDVD have to go through this process when burning (or creating a disk image)?
I realize that the menus aren't encoded in the background - so they will be encoded at burn time - but the movies that have been encoded in the background should be ready to go, right?
Why is iDVD going through the encoding process despite having "completed" it in the background? Or am I misunderstanding what iDVD is encoding in the background?
...I've only used iDVD on three computers: a power mac G5, Powerbook G4 Titanium, and MacBook Pro C2Duo, but I've always had this issue. Background encoding happens but never seems to be actually used.

  • JTabbedPane background color doesn't work in Win XP - SP 1 with JRE 1.4.2

  • Chunked Transfer Encoding - Doesn't work due to implementation bug?

    Hello All,
    I'm tackling the infamous "transfer-encoding: chunked" issue on trying to send POST data from the J2ME emulators and devices greater than 2048 bytes (or whatever the internal buffer size of a specific device might be). The nginx server on the other end always sends back a *411 - No content length specified* because it doesn't seem to recognize chunked transfer encoding. (despite the fact nginx is HTTP 1.1 compliant meaning it should be able to recognize it without rejection)
    One thing I've noticed is that compared to a correctly chunked HTTP body which looks something like this:
    *2*
    ab
    *4*
    abcd
    A
    *0123456789*
    *3*
    foo
    *0*
    the HTTP bodies coming out of the MIDlet though Network Monitor in the emulator just look like this:
    ababcd0123456789foo
    It seems the chunked HTTP body does not have the chunk size indices that should be there for proper formatting.
    I did my debugging on the Sun Java Network Monitor and maybe that tool "hides" the actual chunking indices
    or the chunking takes place at a point beyond the emulator's snapshot of the data. Does anyone know if the Sun Java Network Monitor indeed shows the entire body of an HTTP POST in it's true state? The size of one packet I'm looking at is 2016 which is 32 bytes off 2048 - the supposed limit where data starts getting chunked. Could this "missing" 32 bytes from the log be the chunking indexes I am looking for? If the Network Monitor indeed shows the packet body in it's entirety then it seems like people are having issues sending chunked transfers because the format is wrong.
    Anyway assuming J2ME's chunked transfer encoding is working correctly then how come nginx and many other supposedly HTTP 1.1 servers cannot understand the incoming format? Is Java's implementation of chunked transfer encoding somehow deviant from the set standard? I read a post at the following address
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=76&threadID=454773
    in which a user could not get chunked posts recognized by Apache until he changed the format of his HTTP body (read the last post on that thread for details on this).
    In case no one can assist on the above how would I go about trying to intercept the HTTP data stream right after it leaves the emulator or a real device. Is this something that can only be done server side? If so how can I guarantee that the data I am receiving on the server side was not modified by another entity along the way?
    Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
    -Bob

    We're still tackling the same issue but we've made a few discoveries:
    * Nginx does not support chunked transfer encoding despite it's HTTP 1.1 status.
    * The chunked transfer encoding format coming out of J2ME is correct. During some server side logging sessions we found that J2ME puts in the chunking indices and the finalizing 0 and carriage return to signify the end of the stream.
    * The missing 32 bytes not shown in the Sun Java Network Monitor are the chunking indices - they are just hidden from you at that level of display. Since the J2ME emulator sends it's packets in 2048 bytes chunks when viewing the monitor you will just see the contents itself (2016 byte chunks). The other 32 bytes are the headers i.e.
    7e0[carriage return]
    which is a 32 bytes sequence (4 8 byte characters) with the last character being the carriage return. 7e0 in decimal is 2016 - the size of the displayed packet in the network monitor.
    Anyone have any suggestions for a reliable server end receiver for chunked transfer encoding content? (preferably one which works well with Ruby on Rails)

  • Background Process doesn't work

    Hi Everybody,
    i want to change some data on a database table through a background process but the data will not be changed:

  • Title Background Transparency Doesn't Work

    Hello,
    I can't get the title background transparency to work. I'm running Premiere CS6 6.04. Clicking on the background button does nothing. Sometimes, I can randomly change the background settings to get it to become transparent, but that is not working now. Very frustrating.

    This is me setting up a title. The cursor is on the spot on the timeline that has a red christmas background. Everything appears normal.
    When I close this window, and move the title onto the timeline this happens. I haven't touched anything else (including the cursor location)

  • Background image doesn't work in dreamweaver 8

    I have dreamweaver 8 and trying to install a background image through modify>page properties>appearance.
    I created my background image through fireworks and saved it in my "images" folder.  However when I access it through dreamweaver, I'm not able to see it on my page. I can, however, apply my background color, but not my "bg.jpg" image.
    Why not?
    Can somebody help me?

    My guess is that your image might not be suitable for web output.
    Did you optimize your image for the web?  I don't use Fireworks but in Photoshop it's called File > Save for Web.  A typical background image that repeats horizontally and vertically on screen should have a filesize of around 10-20 KB.

  • Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

    Oh hai!
    I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
    Encoding failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
    I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
    I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
    Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • Encoded video doesn't work on Toshiba Blu-ray disc player

    I have a problem that I am trying to encode a sequence of frames in a video container , but the encoded video doesn't work on toshiba blu ray disc player .. I am using the following ffmpeg command to encode frames and convert them to a video:
    ffmpeg -i "C:\ManVsWigan\Frames\%d.png" -vcodec libx264 "C:\ManVsWigan\encoded.mp4"
    I tried multiple video codecs but no luck yet
    "-vcodec mpeg4"
    "-vcodec mpeg2video"
    If you have any idea please help me

    The BluRay player leverages parts of Windows DirectShow but won't serve very well as a general player since Windows will load other players for the majority of media formats.
    You can get away with a limited amount of tampering of the BluRay's players tolerance of media files until you violate some far away written DRM safeguard and kneecapping the BluRay player from doing anything.
    If you're trying to validate your ffmpeg composed tests of your content as part of the editing process, you're better to avoid relying on the BluRay player that is purposed for narrow replay of licensed content and equipped with oversensitive safeguards susceptible to malfunctioning from the invasions of video pirates like you defined by studio executives.
    You and I understand you're not a pirate but chances aren't being taken.
    Whether you just dowloaded FFmep in the macho exe format or part of the millions of other packages that include it, you can tune your players to codecs pretty easily with the KLite Codec Manager or the Registry.
    Chances are you already know about KLite since editing video on Windows eventually requires it and its hard to walk down the street without eventually kiceking over a copy. But just in case you've been living on a Martian cave with your hands over your ears, snag a mirrored copy from: http://codecguide.com /download_kl.htm
    I like KLite more than others because it is fairly unobtrusive and avoids stomping over other media tools the way Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas enslaves Windows and can neuter BluRay codecs without always adequately replacing them. I can cite threads on the matter but just googling for anything such as "Adobe Premier killed my BluRay" or "Sony Vegas ruined Windows" will usually return desperate strings of posts long enough to wrap around Jupiters equator.
    For general maintenance of Windows poor codec management, grab this noninstalling executable http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html to determine if Windows believes it has the same codecs you thought it did and you'll likely be surprised by the fine tuning you'll need to perform.

  • Media Encoder, yes I know its been covered b4 but still doesn't work

    I'm having the typical
    "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source" and I've tried the things explained here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407106.html. The catch is, this is a brand new install of Adobe Production Suite on a brand new computer. It was working perfectly fine for about a month or so, but then one day, nothing. No updates were run and no new software installed. I've a few other things that some members have posted but still nothing works. Very frustrating because I do this for work and have deadlines. Any one have any ideas. The only thing I can think that it could possibly be is that I upgraded to Flash 10 about a week b4 the problems started occurring. Otherwise, it doesn't work on files that have been moved around a little bit but "relocated" when asked where the files are, but it also doesn't work on files that have stayed put the whole time.

    Details...hmm... all of the adobe products have been updated to the 4.2.something, whatever is the newest version. Lets see... i7 920 w/ 12GB ram, 3HDD (1 scratch, 1 OS, 1 data). Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit (no available updates).
    Some details of the problem... I was using handbrake to rip some marketing material and was able to edit them in PPro, but as soon as I tried to encode them, that when the problems started, I assumed that it was because of the file format that I encoded with in handbrake. Anyways, I had to edit the video in Windows Movie Maker, then took the WMV and dropped it into Media Encoder and was able to encode to the proper media format then. Anyways, I got the side project done, then went back to my projects. I edit interviews on the green screen, encode alpha channel, and throw them up on websites. So I did my normal stuff, but now when I encode, or try, I always get the error from media encoder listed below.
    - Source File: C:\Users\djensen\AppData\Local\Temp\Mike Ponce.prproj
    - Output File: C:\Users\djensen\Desktop\MPonce_return.flv
    - Preset Used: WorkPreset

    11/23/2009 1:35:25 PM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    I had moved the first video I tried editing after the side project, but any videos that were in their place before all this happened are getting the same error.
    That's all the details that I can think of. Thanks for direction Harm, sometimes when you're stressed we forget the most important things eh?
