Build and format better than to build and burn?

I'm going to be burning 15 copies of 2 different single layer dvds through DVDStudioPro. I've tested both discs in this project and they're ok to burn.
Reading through my reference material, I don't get a clear sense of what to do next. Should I build and format and store the resulting disc image (.img) to somehow burn from in DVDSP?
Or should I just "build" each project and then format and burn the 15 discs one by one?
Thanks in advance

Hi..
I just build the project which will creat a TS folder wherever you select and render all the menus etc.
The when you want another copy then just "format" a disk. (i.e. burn the info to a disk)
You could build a disk image and burn a disk image that way.. but I don't think it will save you any time.

So what? Do you want a prize for posting such an illuminating comment?

Is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

is the apple laptop with 4gb ram and i5 better than other laptop with 6gb ram and i5

Well it depends on the age. http://www.everymac.com/ should help you identify the age of the two models.
Apple may use two processors called i5, but newer models have different optimizations than older models.
The processor is usually not the main affect on speed. RAM helps, but barely unless everything is on an SSD already. Hard drive speed is usually the limiting factor of speed on computers. eSATA hard drives with higher RPM can often yield the fastest results because notebook hard drives tend to be slower that are not SSD, but for those you need either Express/34 or Thunderbolt based adapters.

Are Classes better than Function groups and Modules

Hi,
Are classes better than Function groups? For example if you want to execute something is back ground or use parallel processing you can't do it using classes. Even inside classes most of the places we use Function modules.
Then how classes are beneficial?
Regards,
Deepak Bhalla

Yes they are compared in the sense that the class and function group are the containers, and the methods and function modules are the interfaces in which you interact with the encapsulated data.
Again if you are developing an application in which you are not forced to push the processing to differenet work processes, then using classes/methods is preferrable. The reason I say this, is because anything coming from SAP will most likely be implemented as a class as opposed to a function group. This is not to say that SAP will not create new function modules, because of course there still is a use for them.

Is 2x 512 MB sticks better than 1x 256MB and 1x 1GB stick?

Its what the title says, the reason I say this is because I am trying to be very cost effective but get the best performance possible for the price. So is 1 GBs of RAM with even amounts better than 1.2 GBS with non-equal amounts of RAM?
Also, another RAM question - When I do replace the RAM, does it matter which stick I take out of the MacBook?

Depends. If your intent is to get to 2GB then yes, going to 1.25GB is better. Otherwise, performance-wise I think going to 1GB in 2 x 512MB a matched pair would be nicer.
The difference in Xbench tests seem to be around 5%.

Firefox and Firefox Beta will lock up and quit responding at times.

Several times ill be looking at something, often when I'm typing out something, as I am now, Firefox and or Firefox Beta will lock up and quit responding to anything I do. I must exit it, or wait til I get the message "Firefox has quit responding. Wait or Close?
This is occurring on my Android tablet. 4.0.3 version.

are you using any Addons?
Could try by uninstall and reinstall it

Is "erase and install" better than "archive and install"

I have heard its best for permormance purposes to do an erase and install, but is that really true? it seems like much less of a hassle to just do the archive and install. any thoughts?

Jeff,
To me, there is not much difference in doing an Erase and Install as opposed to an Archive and Install but NOT preserving user settings...
An erase and install might be a little better but not much plus you would need to reinstall everything.
With an Archive and Install and NOT preserving user settings, you still have a brand new system with nothing from the old system installed... However, you do have a folder called "Previous Systems" which has all your stuff in it... If you want some stuff out of that folder, you can get it.. Otherwise, if you throw that folder out, it will be just about as good as an Erase and Install....
Now, an Archive and Install and preserving user settings is a little different because it does bring things over from the old system....

What should I do if my iPhone 4S screen is flipping out and going grey than coming back and I have to restart it 3 times before it comes back to work? I can barely put pressure on the screen.

My iPhone 4S flips out when I put pressure on any part of the phone and turns colors and then goes gray with white lines both horizontally and vertically. How do I fix this and how much is it going to cost?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

When i sync my phone with itunes some of the songs always have the sync symbol next to them and are lighter than the others and i dont know how to get rid of them. help please

when i have synced my phone with itunes there are old songs that i dont want. these songs always have the sync sign next to them but i dont know how to get rid of them, i have event deleted them from my library, my computer and hidden them on i cloud. help please

Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences. But you only need to change a setting in one location.

Windows 7 and iTunes doens't recognise iPod Classic 80g after wipe clean hard drive and format fat32.

My iPod Classic 80gb every now-and-then goes funny, and eventually iTunes doesn't recognise it. In the past I could put it on disk mode, and do a reset, but some times I would have to format (FAT32), uninstall and reinstall iTunes, so it would work. Now it happened again, this time wiped clean the hard drive and formatted. However windows 7 and iTunes still doesn't recognise it. Tried many tips online but nothing works. All software I have used don't see the hard drive, so can't format it again.
I can get it on disk mode but even then windows and iTunes don't recognise it. When connecting to laptop my machine goes boiling hot. Left it connected with iTunes on for few hours but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Hello @turingtest2.
Following your threat I realized it was time to have my hard drive changed. My iPod classic has a Samsung Model: HS081HA, 80gb/3600 rpm (real hard to get it open and check out!!!).
My question is if I DO HAVE to buy exactly the same hard drive, or I could get away with another manufacturer and model, such as Toshiba (80 GB MK8009GAH FOR iPod Video 5th 5.5th iPod Classic 6.5th 7th Gen Hard Drive - Ebay listing)?
I ask you that as these Toshiba hard drives are considerably cheaper.
Help much appreciated.

REPORTCRASH UNDER Yosemite 10.10.1 is running for more than 2 hours and 30 mn.

I ran the update to Yosemite 10.10.1 on Imac (21.5, Mid 2011) with
Processor 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 12 G 1333 MHz DDR3
Since then, the program ReportCrash is using more than 175% of the processor! and for more than 2 hours and 45 minutes.
I have rebooted the system but the operation ReportCrash restarted from zero.
Do you have a solution?

Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, then look at CPU to see the processes and kill the ReportCrash process.
Why are you running ReportCrash? That is a developer program...see the information on it and its use by going to Finder > Applications > Utilities and open Terminal. At the Terminal prompt type: man report crash to see all of the details.

Why is the Nightly build so much faster and has better looking features than the final Firefox product ??

The Nightly build is so much faster than Firefox, and the download feature is much better than the download feature in Firefox.

The Nightly build (22.0a1) is updated daily and has the latest code fixes and thus may be unstable.<br />
This version is meant for experienced testers only to check out new code and to see if it if working properly before it will be added to a release version, so it may be faster to some extend.
You should always install such an alpha (Nightly or Aurora) or beta release alongside of a the current release in case of problems (a lot of times websites may be broken).

HD edited footage in FCP 5.1 to DVDSP 4 to "build and format" to where now?

97 minute movie shot with Sony's HDV-FX1, edited in FCP 5.1, exported to QuickTime movie, full quality, current settings. Imported into DVDSP 4.1, parsed, no problem, authored with HD settings, and built project. DSP produced a proper HDDVD_TS folder. With Apple DVD Player 4.6.5 on my duel 1.8 G5, this plays just fine.
With Toast 8 and a NU Technology Blu-ray burner (Matshita BD-MLT SW 5528), DVD-ROM (UDF), new disc, named and imported the HD file. Clicked record, selected 1x DB write speed to be on the safe side, used both a Panasonic BD-RW and a TDK BD-RW single layer disc and burned successfully. Neither disc now, to my ultimate frustration, will play in our Samsung Blu-ray DVD player or play with Apple's DVD Player. Both report a message about not supporting the media type, although the disc does mount on my G5 via the Blu-ray drive.
Thoughts on where to go from here? Our movie plays fine downconverted to 480i, but we would love to see it play in High def at 1080i.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

David,
That is the answer to why I am unable to use the "build and format" option in DSP? Seems crazy that the option is there, but the function isn't.
Did the Toast product manager give any hint as to when this option may be available? I knew were we sailing into unchartered waters, but we had hoped that by the time we were done with post that the path had already been navigated
Thanks,

How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
Try
If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
Return “-“
End if
If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
Return “-“
End If
If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
Return “-“
End if
If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
Return "-"
End if
Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
Catch
Return "-"
End Try
End Function
I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
=Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like:
-78.9473684210
80
300
-100
I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

Hi AngP,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
compared.
To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
BackgroundColor:
=iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

One last question about building and formatting

When I am writing my DLT do I need to remove the .layout file and the Data.lay file? It will already be built but I will be using DVDSP3 to write the DLT. Are they removed automatically? The manual seems ambiguous about this.
Also I need to output in the DDP2.0 format (Its a DVD-9). I can't select this without choosing build and format. I have been testing by building to my desktop and testing on the Apple DVD player. If I choose build and format will it rebuild the project? And if it rebuilds is it possible for me to get something besides what I have been checking? I just want to make sure I write the same thing to the DLT that I have been checking.

you can also get ddp by just doing format as opposed to build and format. You can not open a ddp image in dvd player to test it, so there really is no use of building it to your hard drive. If you have already built the project and you have a video ts folder, then you can go under format and choose the dlt drive as your location and make sure you are referencing the folder with the videots in it.
there wont be anychanges from the video ts after it has been built, it is merely converting it into a ddp image.

Build and format better than to build and burn?
