Build problems - video dropout

I have a mpeg2 file that admittedly has a lot of movement and contrast changes but I spent a long time figuring out the best way to encode it in Compressor and got a very good result - the mpeg2 file is very clean. But, once it is brought into DVDSP and Built (muxed, multiplexed) - in a very simple setup, no menus or audio - the final build has what looks like video dropout. I always though that the muxed file was like a container for the mpeg2, audio and all the menu information but this looks as if there is further compression happening. I've never noticed a difference between the mpeg2 file and the final image playing back on the DVD - I always thought it should be the same. Has anyone else seen this problem.

I viewed the mpeg2 in quicktime - no problems. Also, when I viewed the file in the track viewer in DVDSP - nothing strange. Also, the simulator doesn't show the same distortions - only after the build do I see the image change. All of this viewed on the same monitor.
What I see is small square breaks in part of the image - something that reminds me of dropout (sometimes a DV tape can loose some of the metallic particles - this causes digital dropout or a loss of some of the information on the tape, resulting in square blocks of the image missing.)

  • Video Dropout in Compressor 4 Transcodes

    Hi,
    I'm exporting a ProRes master from FCP7 then loading the file into Compressor 4 for transcoding to H264 1080 for YouTube and Vimeo.
    The resulting file has video dropout thoughout.
    Is this a known problem and if so does anyone have any work-rounds and/or fixes for this problem?
    Thanks.
    RE

    Hi Russ,
    I have had this happen a few times now.
    The workflow is: ProRes 422 edit > export ProRes 422 from FCP 7 > transcode exported file in Compressor 4 to H264 1080 (YouTube and Vimeo preset).
    It's the transcoded produced by Compressor file that has the dropout in it, not the uploaded file.

  • OC4J 10.1.3 production: Build problem Adventure Builder 1.0.1 using EJB 3.0

    Hi all,
    I tried to use the migration to EJB 3.0 of the Adventure Builder 1.01 from Debu Panda and had some build problems.
    Does anybody know if this demo was tested with the production version of 10.1.3?
    I used the standalone version and had to tweak a lot of entries in ant-oracle.xml.
    Is it possible that the migration was done with a preview release? Have there been so many changes? I had to include a bunch of additional JARs e.g ${J2EE_HOME}/lib/adminclient.jar, ${ORACLE_HOME}/webservices/lib/wsclient.jar. ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
    and others.
    Also I had to change some task definitions as I guess that the contents of ${ORACLE_HOME}/j2ee/utilities/ant-oracle-classes.jar must have changed...
    If I did not do something terribly wrong it would be nice if you could update the example to save other people from this nightmare of running from one build error to the next!
    Regards,
    Eric

    Hi Debu,
    thanks for your reply. I've used an previously installed ant 1.6.5 from ant.apache.org, but I don't think this should matter, or?
    As far as I could see one of the problems is related to the version of ant-oracle-classes.jar in ${ORACLE_HOME}/j2ee/utilities which the example relies on.
    In the adventure builder ant-oracle.xml you'll find task definitions like that:
    taskdef resource="oracle/ant/taskdefs/deploy/antlib.xml" uri="http://www.oracle.com/ant/taskdefs" loaderRef="oracle.tasks.loader">which does not match with what one can find in ${ORACLE_HOME}/j2ee/utilities/ant-oracle-classes.jar
    So from my point of view this has to be changed to
    <taskdef resource="oracle/antlib.xml" uri="antlib:oracle" loaderRef="oracle.tasks.loader">I also had to change some libs... That's why I thought this example was made and tested with an earlier version of oc4j 10.1.3 (maybe a preview version).
    Regards,
    Eric

  • Application Builder problem on one server but not another

    I am having an Application Builder problem. When I get into App Express and go inside the builder and try to edit a listed application, I get an “http 404 the page cannot be found. The page might have had its name changed or is temporarily unavailable” situation. I can get into SQL commands, utilities, and administrative activities. I can also run the application. Also, if I go onto a different server with App Express on it, I can get into the builder and edit applications with no trouble. Our DBA had the server in question rebooted a little over a week ago and that took care of the problem for a couple days. Any ideas? Is this an Express problem or a server problem? He had also tried restarting Express before he had the reboot done and that didn’t help.
    Thank you for any help.
    Cordially,
    Robert J. Smith

    I have messages from the Apache error log files from the dates I was getting the builder error. For future reference, I will post them below. The builder has been working fine lately.

  • Problem: Video on slide one continues to play and can be heard in the background, even after the user has navigated to another slide.

    Problem: Video on slide one continues to play in the background, even after user has navigated to another slide.  This only happens on a fresh reload of the page.
    Has anyone else had this problem, or found a solution?
    If you refresh the page and start over, the problem doesn't happen.  But on the first page load it always seems to happen.
    Here is a link to the module I am working with.  If you let the video play for a couple seconds on the first slide, and then click a navigation link to another slide, you will still hear the audio from the first slide playing.

    To clarify - this happens in both IE and Chrome, and is the Flash version of the content.

  • My first PC build for video editing purposes

    I have done some research into building my own video editing PC. I want to spend about 800 pounds. I will list some of the components I have so far. Any suggestion would be welcomed and appreciated.
    ASRock Z77 Extreme6 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) Motherboard - £159.98
    4 x Kingston 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM Memory - £12.76 each
    For CPU I am going to wait for the Ivy Bridge Core 17 to come out
    PNY nVIDIA Geforce GTX 570 Graphics Card with 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
    £210.97
    I have heard that it does not matter how fast the RAM is but it is more important how much you have. My Mobo can take 2800 Mhz. I have also heard that the graphic card is important when video editing. It acts as a secondary CPU which enhances the performance.
    Is all the above information correct?
    Thanks
    Dominic

    I have ordered most of my components for pc build for video editing purposes. Here is the list. Any critism would be welcome.
    MOTHERBOARD 
    AsRock Z77 Extreme6 Motherboard (Socket 1155, Intel Z77, Up to 32GB DDR3, ATX, USB 3.0, 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s, 7.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection)

    £ 350 – Amazon
    CPS
    OCZ 850W ZX Series PSU 80+ Gold Rated Ultra Quiet Double Ball Bearing Fan and EU Cable (– Pos Probs – cables short especially for CPU. May need CPU extension cables but these are cheap. Also says compatible with Sandy Bridge NOT ivy bridge. Im assuming it is compatible though)
    £ 100 – Amazon
    BLUE RAY 
    LG BH10LS38.AUAU 10x Inter
    £62.00 – Amazon           
    CASE
    BNIB ANTEC 1200 (TWELVE HUNDRED) BLACK STEEL ATX FULL TOWER COMPUTER CASE £ 120 – ebay
    The only thing left to buy are the hard drives. I have decided on a system  of a
    C: Boot drive 500 gb (7200) for the OS
    Pair of drives in RAID 2 x 2 tb
    E: Export drive. Single (7200) 3 tb
    Somebody suggested to me that I should get SSD. However, am I right in saying that these drives, although fast, are too small for video editing purposes and also too expensive? Perhaps I should wait until they get bigger and less expensive. A future upgrade.
    Thanks for any comments in advanced

  • NWDS and DC Build Problem

    Hi,
    I recently installed a new version of NWDS on my workstation.  This was an upgrade to Version 7.0.10   For some reason my DC will no longer  build successfully since using the 7.0.10 version of NWDS.  The error I get is:
    /userOut/Development Component (com.sap.ide.eclipse.component.provider.listener.DevConfListener) [Thread[ModalContext,5,main]] ERROR: /mydc : Build failed for /mydc in variant "default": null
    Thanks,

    Hi All
    I facing same problem. Can you help me how to resolve this. I want to convert existing WebDynpro project into NWDI. I followed two ways to achieve it.
    1) I followed step by step in this help link
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/c8204dd57f136fe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/c8204dd57f136fe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm</a>.
    2) I newly created one DC (WebDynpro) project and there is an option "Import from existing local project" option.
    I used both of them still there build problems in my DC.

  • New Build Problem

    A couple of weeks ago I got around to building a new rig with a 990X, Gigabyte Geurilla mo-board (the gamers sure are driving the desktop industry!), 24Gbs of GSkill Ram, 1k Watt PS, & a GTX-580. The other components don't matter at this point, because right now, when I power up the computer it runs for 2 secs. shuts down for 2 secs. fires back up for 2 secs, etc. I have swapped out power supplies, Ram, video cards, re-seated the CPU, and jumper-reset the BIOS. Clearly the problem lies within the moboard or CPU, but I'm open to any last ditch efforts before bringing on a 3rd party to get this thing running. I don't want to order a replacement CPU w/o knowing that that is, indeed the culprit. Most of the components were brand new from New Egg, except for the video card and PS, both of which came from an operational machine (and both were swapped out anyway to rule them out as the cause). So, the reason I'm posting this is because once before I had this same problem with my general purpose computer, that had been in operation for a couple of years and I posted this problem and Colin, from Brougham Media, suggested replacing the battery on the moboard. I was very skeptical, but it was the least expensive option for trying to diagnose the problem and just like all of his other solutions, it worked! Didn't work this time around, being that the moboard is brand new.
       So, would you recommend shipping back the moboard to Gigabyte for repair or would it be safe to order a replacement from New Egg, hoping that that's the most likely culprit and send the board I have now back to New Egg as defective? I'm hoping there's something you can suggest I try before going to either of those lengths.

    Problem solved. I called a local computer repair store, Intrex Computers, and described the problem. Told the guy all the steps I'd taken to diagnose. His response was, "Sounds like you have a short underneath the motherboard." I told him I had indeed gone from one Gigabyte model motherboard to another and needed to add some standoffs, but I was quite sure I didn't need to move any of the existing ones. When I asked him about the possibility of a bad motherboard he said that's extremely rare, so I decided to pull the moboard to see if I was dense enough to leave an old standoff. So I pull the board and sure enough found 10 standoffs where they were supposed to be. "Sure glad I'm not that dumb" I thought, though admittedly I was so anxious to put this time-consuming problem behind me, I was willing to embrace ignorance, which I've been forced to do thousands of times before if it meant finding the problem. So I go to put the motherboard back in and low and behold there's an errant screw, which was wedged in a corner near the motherboard, but not under it. Sooooo, let's just say that I didn't even catch that screw when I pulled the moboard the first time to reseat the CPU. But there's nothing else to explain the problem. The Intrex tech said it sounded like a short, and I found a loose screw (no snide comments, please. I've already thought of them!). Wow, when I was young, I was thrilled when my mother told me that I had IQ. I now have come to realize that she never said how much. Or in my case, how little!

  • Build problems using DVDSP3

    Hi!
    I've already produced over 100 DVDs with DVDSP3 and never had a problem that I was unable to solve myself.
    But here it is:
    I've mastered a lot of TV series in the past with about six 30 min. episodes on one DL DVD. The first build of one DVD was almost perfect, but I had to replace one menu background (cosmetic changes). So the DVD was build again (reusing the old build) and then it happened: One of the episodes on the DVD got corrupted. After 20 minutes for almost 5 seconds a completely different m2v and ac3 was played! Then it jumped back to the normal episode. To make this a little bit more confusing: The wrong part that was played was out of another project (a series I had worked on before)...
    Has anyone an idea what has happened and how to avoid this in the future?

    Hi!
    Thanks for your answer. You are right, I re used the previous build. But why DVDSP used video and audio (that are not even in the project) is not answered. It isn't even clear if it was a reusing problem. That brings (all of) us to the situation that we have to read back our DLTs and check for errors in the build very carefully (and very time consuming) before delivering DLTs to the duplication facility (or use a (very expensive) proving software).
    Without knowing the exact reason and how to avoid it we (at least professionals) have to double check after building and formatting. But checking isn't easy because different players do different things with our wrong DVD. Some show the wrong video, others skip the 5 secs because of the MPEG2 errors in the stream (I suppose) and others (like the Playstation 2) advance to the next chapter.
    You see that if you check the disk in a wrong player and don't even notice there was a problem. Then you deliver to your client and he will... (depends on client)...
    Be warned

  • Blu-ray build: no video (solid red, green, etc image)

    Hey everyone,
    If this problem has already been addressed, could someone please point me in the right direction? I searched and didn't find anything similar, but wasn't too sure what to search for.
    My problem: Everytime I build a blu-ray project in Encore, I am getting the same result; the video will play (according to the progress bar on the player), but the image is always a solid color, sometimes it's red, green, tan, black, apparently just random, but always the same color throughout the entire video.
    I have tried so many different things at this point, I'm at a loss for how to proceed further. I've tried this with at least three different projects, all of which were created in Premiere. I have attempted both the dynamic link from Premiere to Encore and exporting the video first and importing into Encore later. I have tried transcoding as .264 and MPEG2 (I am not very knowledgeable about the settings, so I use the defaults). I have tried building the project in Encore as a blu-ray folder and as an ISO. I have burned to discs and played just the digital files on my PC.
    The video always plays fine up until after it is exported from Encore (that is, it previews fine in Premiere, exported video from Premiere plays fine in players like VLC, and the video previews fine in Encore).And I have no trouble building DVDs in Encore with the same video, timeline, and all that jazz.
    The only thing I haven't done yet is gone to the trouble of trying to reinstall Encore, which will be my next step if noone here has any suggestions. I am running CS6 with all recent updates. I have been testing the blu-ray playback in PowerDVD and a PS3.
    Like I mentioned above, I'm not very proficient in video. If I left out important details, just let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!

    When I play the m2ts file, it works fine in VLC and also in PowerDVD. That's interesting, but I'm not sure what that means?
    If the actual m2ts file from the Encore build does not show the problem, but what I assume is the same file on disk (or in iso) shows the problem, what could cause such a problem? (I don't know.) The more frequent oddity is a problem on burned disk and not on iso or folder, which points to the burner, burn speed, or media. But that does not appear to be the issue here.
    I can't find the example at the moment, but try creating a tiny bluray project and see if the problem occurs. If so, you can upload it for me to take a look.
    For example, one menu with one button, linked to a 30 second timeline, using a sample of your material that is causing the problem. If that shows the problem, I would also try a bars and tones sample to eliminat your actual video - although I assume your video is part of the equation.
