Bad Chapter Marker: Simulate works fine, DVD freezes

Working on a Choir Concert with multiple chapters. Simulate works fine. But the build produced a freeze a split seconds after a chapter marker. I have changed the chapter location but it still freezes at the exact same spot. If I go to a chapter after the troublesome one, it plays fine. If play fine up to the chapter marker.
When I moved the chapter marker, it played fine, until the chapter marker was encountered again.
The chapter marker was set in FCP 5.1. All other chapter marker work fine.
Below are the compressor settings used.
I will delete and reenter it in DVDSP. But I am curious: why would a chapter marker would go bad?
thanks

It sounds like you are saying that "same exact spot" means the spot where the marker is moved to and not the same exact splace on the timeline, and it looks that way based on the rest of your post(?)
The chapter marker was set in FCP 5.1. All other chapter marker work fine.
Could be a few things. First make sure you have not accidently set a command for that chpater maker, you may have done so and Simulator since it is not perfect maybe it is missing it somehow.
I would delete just the one marker causing problems and see if it plays all the way through without the problem marker, and if it works, I would copy one of the markers that works at put it into the spot you want.

CDs work fine DVDs will not load

My iMac will load and play CDs fine, but when I put in a DVD to watch a movie it spins for a minute or two then ejects the disc. I tried multiple discs and tried them in my iBook (which all discs worked fine in) Any ideas? Is there a way to check and see if the drive is bad or something?

I concur. Sounds like the DVD laser got dirty and/or the head mechanism got broke.
One thing to watch out for with optical drives such as these is following this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446?viewlocale=en_US
Corrolary, don't use sticky labels on optical discs. They can tear and get into the mechanisms. Don't write with sharpies or other pens either, use jewelcases to store discs safely and jewelcase inserts to identify the contents of the disc.

Purchased used 4th g it has a lot of glitches sound is not working at all, shutting it off it automaticlly turns back on in 1 min, camera works but camcorder doesn't, all game apps work fine, did freeze when on app store but reset and it seemed to work.

my ipod touch 4th g is running ios 6.0.1 but is very glitchy. there is no sound and if I plug in earphones it freezes up. camera does work but freezes when i try to use Camcorder. App store was acting up but after reseting it multiple times it is working again. When I turn it off with the slidder it reboots after one minute. It is also hard to put into dfu mode and take back out holding consecutive buttons doesn't work....Was stuck in recovery mode for quite awhile till I used a program to kick it out. I did find youtube vidio that showed how to restore audio by deleating a file but of course this takes a little work and don't know if it would work with this ios. Was just wondering what I can try now. Would realy like sound. not so worried about camcorder. Did check settings and no apps are blocked.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Chapter Marker Buttons Not Working & .dvdproj Files Too Large

Chapter marker buttons do not work after saving as VIDEO_TS folder. Only first chapter marker button works in DVD player after VIDEO_TS files are created. The other buttons do nothing. My chapters were created automatically in iDVD. Also, original .dvdproj file mushrooms from 132KB to 3.2Gig upon each "save as VIDEO_TS folder" process. Then reopening original .dvdproj file takes 5 minutes, and I must "save as" to create a new copy to bring the file size back to 132KB. This is horrendous. "Save As" file works fine, but makes a new huge .dvdproj file after creating another VIDEO_TS folder. Unable to complete any project in '08 iDVD.

+saving as VIDEO_TS folder.+
Don't do that. From Help:
+Saving as VIDEO_TS folder: Saving a project as a VIDEO_TS folder allows you to play it back, on your computer, using software such as VLC media player. Saving as a VIDEO_TS folder is similar to saving as a disc image: the output quality is the same, and both methods take about the same amount of time to complete. *You can’t burn a disc from a VIDEO_TS folder*.+
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Pausing @ Chapter Marker Won't Work.

I read on these boards how to create a DVD where playback pauses at a chapter marker for a unique DVD I need to create. While this worked great in Simulator, when I burned a DVD and played it both a PC laptop and my Desktop G5, the DVD paused at every FRAME. I was only able to advance by hitting the play button and going to the next frame of the video. Not what I was hoping for. (The final DVD will be running from a computer.)
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I need to do? Currently I am selecting the Chapter Maker and going to Playback Options: Pause: Infinite: Pause after each VOBU is checked.
thanks in advance.

Uncheck the pause at each VOBU... this is a very small unit in the structure of a DVD and correlates to a single Group of Pictures (GOP), not the marker, which is a cell based item. A cell contains any number of VOBUs. Your 'infinite' pause should be enough.
Have a look here:

BADI implementation is not working in background for MRRL

Hai frnds,
BADI: MRM_WT_SPLIT_UPDATE is used for deducting withholding tax in MRRL(Invoice verification). This BADI was implemented and working fine in foreground, but not working in background.

HI,
COR6N is the Enjoy Transaction and sap does not suggest to write the BDC on these transaction as most of these transaction uses the GUI elements foe better display and which cannot be recorded while processing the BDC in back ground.
Check for the Normal transaction and write the BDC for it.
Or
Pass X to Rcommit flag in the CTU_PARAMS option and check.

Adding Chapter Marks makes DVD audio not work

I sent a 65-minute video to Compressor from Final Cut Pro X. In Compressor I used the 'Dolby Digital Professional' and 'MPEG-2 for DVD' settings from the Disc Burning folder as targets, and added a job action to create the DVD. I left all default settings. DVD worked fine with good audio and great picture. Then I manually added Chapter marks in Compressor and created another DVD. This DVD had no sound for about half the video. Any ideas on how I can add Chapter marks in Compressor without losing audio? This is for a school Talent Show with about 25 different acts, so I really want to have a Chapter selection on the DVD. If I try other apps to make the DVD (FCP X, iMovie, iDVD) the video quality suffers terribly, so I'm hoping I can get Compressor to work. Thanks for any help.

I've come up with a fairly straightforward workaround for this. In Final Cut Pro X, before sending to Compressor, do an audio-only export to an AC3 file (Share...Export media, select "Audio Only" for Export and "AC file" for Audio file format). Then use the "Send to Compressor" function from the Share menu in FCP X. In Compressor, create a DVD using the standard "Dolby Digital Professional" and "MPEG-2 for DVD" settings and adding a "Create DVD" job action. Make sure the target AC3 file name in Compressor has a different name (or location) than the AC3 file you created in FCP X. The resulting DVD does have intermittent audio as before, so it can be discarded.
Here's the trick:
Open the folder containing the Compressor-created AC3 file, copy the file name, then move that file to the Trash. Find the FCPX-created AC3 file, rename it with the name of the Compressor-created AC3 file, and move it into the folder where the Compressor-created AC3 file was before you moved it to the Trash. Now you can resubmit your job from Compressor and it will burn a new DVD using the AC3 file you created from FCP X, which should have good audio. For me this created a great looking DVD with the high quality MPEG-2 video from Compressor, and the good audio AC3 from FCP X.
I think there is a bug when sending FCP X projects with multi-cam portions to Compressor. I've seen two other cases of this on the discussion boards and multi-cam appears to be the common thread. I can't think of any logical reason that an AC3 file created in FCP X would sound fine, but the same FCP X project sent to Compressor results in an AC3 file with intermittent audio.
At one time I thought the issue was exceeding the capacity of the DVD. But after experimenting I learned that an AC3 file created in Compressor from my multi-cam FCP X project has intermittent audio, even without a "Create DVD" job action. (I used VLC to play back the AC3 file and had the same intermittent audio I had with the DVD).

Why don't my chapter marks work on the burned DVD?

I spent most of the weekend learning iMovie and creating a DVD of our Children's Holiday Concert with clips and 18 chapter marks. I used the iMovie link to create a iDVD project. In that project all of my chapter marks show up in the menues and the map. I loaded short movie clips in all of the dropzones just cuz I can. Looks great in iDVD. In preview I can navigate utilizing the menu buttons with no problem. So I decide to burn my first masterpiece, which is too large for a single layer DVD, but, no problem, I am well prepared and decide to burn a Dual Layer so I can stay in Best Performance, and put my DL super drive thru its paces for the first time. After 3 hours of rendering, I pull out my disc and take it to a set-top unit to make sure it looks good. It starts, it plays fine. I advance to the 2nd chapter and then the 3rd, no problem. But after getting into the 3rd chapter it appears that none of the chapter marks after chapter 3 are there. They show in the menu, but selecting any chapter after chapter 3 drops you into the middle of chapter 3 and no farther. What's goin' on? (Apologies to Marvin Gaye.)

Helloi there!
I am not surpriced if your dvdwriter did "forget to do the second layer" ? I made a dvd with 3 small movies the other day, 1 movie, slideshow,and a blooper.
Maeby you should do the same! 18 chapters is alot, make them simpler by sending them to Q-time as new miniature films You then make nr.1 movie in imovie open idvd and create a new prjkt Use a simple theme then add Q-tmovies 1 by 1 to new buttons as extras (chapternames). the menucontrols on dvdplayer can be alittle confusing but no 1 movie starts imidiatly to and goes back to menu when ready wiewed....

My Macbook Pro keeps freezing/crashing after a few seconds of use, but works fine in safe mode.

I've researched this extensively, but I haven't been able to solve my problem yet.
It started completely out of the blue with a kernel panic, where my screen seemed to malfunction and I got the kernel panic message (but I could hardly read it because of distorted graphics). I forced my laptop to shut down, but every time I rebooted and used it again it would completely freeze after a while (the amount of time varied, it has lasted from a few seconds to a couple of hours). What happens essentially is that the cursor and entire OS freezes, and I'm unable to click on anything or use the keyboard. The fans start working full speed and the only thing I can do is force the laptop to shut down.
At first I thought it was a Chrome problem because it only happened after I opened the browser. After uninstalling it, the laptop seemed to work fine for a couple of hours, but then it froze again while I was using Safari. Ever since it has been functioning normally for smaller and smaller time periods before freezing again. I've tried reinstalling Snow Leopard OS from the original disc and then downloading all software updates, but the problem continues. I've also tried doing a hardware test by pressing D as the computer starts up, but for some reason it doesn't work.
The laptop, including Chrome and Safari, works fine in safe mode.
I'm sorry I don't know what specific information to give you about my laptop/OS, but please ask anything you need to know. I'd greatly appreciate any help — I'm panicking because I fly to England tomorrow morning to start university and I really don't want to go without a laptop for 2 weeks while it's getting fixed!

Thanks for your reply! Here are the Etrecheck results.

Fail to select subtitles on final build dvd, but works fine on DVDSP4 simul

I have a complex project, for commercial proposes.
It's include menu in portuguese and english, audio Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 and subtitles in english, espanish and portuguese.
The problem:
When I simulate it on DVD studio Pro 4, everything works fine, It looks pretty goog, but after build or format a DVD on my hard drive, I test it on Apple DVD Player, selec menu in english or portuguese and play one interview with the artist, on extras menu. Ok, but if I press menu, then go to the setup menu, and select the spanish or portuguese subtitles, when I go back to the extras menu, and play the interview again, the subtitle is english only.
Somebody help-me, I cheked all the scripts and it's ok, as much that on the simulator, all works fine.
thx,
Marcus Maia

On language menu I have two buttons that call:
Script PT (sets the menu language to português)
1 - mov GPRM 1,1
2 - Jump Aviso PT (warning screen)
Script PT (sets the menu language to english)
1 - mov GPRM 1,2
2 - Jump Aviso EN (warning screen)
On the setup menu, I have five buttons that call:
Script AUDIO_5.1 (sets audio to dolby 5.1)
1 - Set System Stream Au(Audio Stream 1)
2 - Jump menuconfigpt::button LEG_EN if (GPRM 1 = 1)
3 - Jump menuconfigen::button LEG_EN if (GPRM 1 = 2)
Script AUDIO_2.0 (sets audio to dolby 2.0)
1 - Set System Stream Au(Audio Stream 1)
2 - Jump menuconfigpt::button LEG_EN if (GPRM 1 = 1)
3 - Jump menuconfigen::button LEG_EN if (GPRM 1 = 2)
Script LEG_EN (sets subtitle to english)
1 - Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1) (on)
2 - Jump menuconfig_pt::butvoltar if (GPRM 1 = 1)
3 - Jump menuconfig_en::butvoltar if (GPRM 1 = 2)
Script LEG_ES (sets subtitle to spanish)
1 - Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 2) (on)
2 - Jump menuconfig_pt::butvoltar if (GPRM 1 = 1)
3 - Jump menuconfig_en::butvoltar if (GPRM 1 = 2)
Script LEG_PT (sets subtitle to spanish)
1 - Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 3) (on)
2 - Jump menuconfig_pt::butvoltar if (GPRM 1 = 1)
3 - Jump menuconfig_en::butvoltar if (GPRM 1 = 2)
The others scripts make each video to come back to correct language menu, like these:
Script SHOW
1 - Jump menuroot_pt::butextras if (GPRM 1 = 1)
2 - Jump menuroot_en::butextras if (GPRM 1 = 2)
Script ENTREVISTA (the interview with the artist)
1 - Jump menuextras_pt::butmkof if (GPRM 1 = 1)
2 - Jump menuextras_en::butmkof if (GPRM 1 = 2)
There is all...
If you can, send your e-mail address to me and I send the project file to you.

Startup issue - blue screen freeze before login - Safe Boot works fine?

I've not seen this before and I can't fix, wonder if anyone has any new suggestions, here is what I've tried so far... (safe boot works fine)
1. Verbose and Single user login
2. removing the startup folder from disk library
3. Zapping PRAM
4. Reset SMC
5. Zeroed disk and reinstalled system
6. Target disk and disk repair (No Problems Found)
7. Permissions repair (No Problems Found
8. Apple Hardware Test (No Problems Found)
9. System DVD Startup - Disk Utility (No Problems Found)
10. Network Startup - Disk Utility (No Problems Found)
In every case unless I hold the shift key down for safe boot, the mac will freeze on a blue screen when the grey screen disappears, and never proceed to login. Thought about replacing the disk but it's a lot of bother on these machines and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it??
Any ideas?
Can anyone think of a possible fix not listed above?

Hello chip
The only thing I see missing from your list is, have you disconnected all External HD's, iPods and other storage devices befor Starting up? Sometimes when the iMac has multiple storage devices connected the Startup Manager will get lost.
Also try going to: Startup Manager in System Preferences, select the Macintosh HD and restart the iMac..

Laptop freezes in normal mode but works fine in safe mode

Hi
I have a Toshiba satellite M45 which recently started to freeze randomly. I have checked my hard drive with Hitachi drive fitness test and it passed all the tests. I have changed my ram from another working computer but the problem persists. Today I formatted my harddrive and had a fresh installation of windows but still getting the same problem. It seems that hard disk just turns off as it gives a ticking sound you normally hear when the computer is powered off. I rebooted the machine in safe mode and it works fine every time.
I would really appreciate if some one who faced the same problem can share there experience ??
Cheers
Mike

It appears that some device whose driver does not load in Safe Mode malfunctions.
If this occurs before loading any drivers for added devices, then you'll need service.

I have to open firefox twice otherwise it will freeze. I can see my home page but I cannot browse. If I close it and then reopen it works fine. I have just noticed this after installing the latest version

Firefox freezes when I open it. I can see my homepage (incomplete) but I cannot browse. The cursor moves but cannot open anything. If I close and reopen firefox it works fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to the latest version of firefox

These issues are usually caused by firewalls. See [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

New version of firefox keeps freezing for minutes at a time every time I open it and my computer is new and IE works fine but hate IE

I have never had this problem before and it is happening on multiple computers. Firefox freezes for several minutes then unfreezes and works fine for awhile, then freezes again. Happening on two computers but not on other two only since 3.6 update. Please, help, as my brand new computer is doing this. It is not my ISP and does not happen on IE. Thanks!

Check and tell if its working.

I run Win 7 (64-bit) on a Core i7 PC. iTunes always worked fine on Win XP, but now it will usually not recognise or display a CD for me to import. I have followed the suggestions on the iTunes site and my CD/DVD reader/writers are fine.

iTunes always worked well for me in Windows XP, but now I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit) and iTunes usually won't display the CD's contents, won't access Gracenote and won't import. Occasionally, for no apparent reason, it all works as it should.
I have reinstalled iTunes, checked and updated all drivers, turned off (and on) the "Use error correction", checked and verified that my CD/DVD burner/writers are connected and working fine - and still, occasionally it works but mostly it doesn't.
I can get around the problem by using another program (dBpower AMP Converter) to convert all tracks on the CD to Apple Lossless format and save them to "Automatically add to iTunes", and then manually inputting all the music track information in iTunes; but this is cumbersone even if effective, and it annoys me that iTunes seems to have this common glitch that should have been corrected by now.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
