Building a dvd with custom disk size (disk, ISO, or dvd folder)

My goal at the end of all this is to get a DVD format of video at 6mbps with menu's to be burned to a blu-ray 25GB disk.
Using Encore CS6 on a Windows 7 (4.7Gzh 8-core, 16gb ram @2400mhz)
1st attempt:  I used a bluray disk and tried to burn a dvd format and it ejected my disk and said please insert a black dvd. (used custom disk of 25GB showing extra space available)
2nd attempt: I thought perhaps I would build it to an ISO (also tried dvd folder) to burn later. it responded with an error message saying, "disk capacity is too small - building navigation failed"
I dont care how I can get this to work but I would like to get all the video and menu's onto a single disk. Encore limits the "custom disk size" to 99GB so I assume it should work for 25GB (23.2GB).
The reason I dont want to make a bluray format is because it requires high bitrate and the video is so old it would be a waist of space. I dont need 720p of video from 1935. (unless I can make a bluray format at a 6mbps)
Thank you for any help you can provide

You can do this in Encore.
I am assuming you are only picking presets, and not customizing one. You pick prests in the Transcode Settings dialog. Do you see the "Edit Quality Presets" button? Pick it, customize one by setting the bitrates to get the results you want, then SAVE IT as your own. Then pick that in the transcode setting. (In the transcode setting image, you can see my custom example "Stan Custom 4Mb CBR".) And yes, you can select all your video assets and apply this custom preset to all of them at once. I would do one short one to see if you are getting in the ball park. I would do 2 samples: one in MPEG2-Bluray and one in H.264-Blu-ray. (I'd follow Richard's recommendation to  you and use H.264.)

  • Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

    Hi All,
    I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
    Thanks for any advice for me.
    Han

    Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
    Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

  • Help with custom page size support for non standard paper

    Firstly, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, we have already thrown considerable effort at this and it has been very time consuming and frustrating.
    To support a number of business functions need to print to (non standard) continuous and mulitpart paper on a dot matrix printer. The (test) Mac is a 10.4.11 G4 laptop, the printer is an Oki Microline 520 (9 pin 80 column, IBM Proprinter, Microline or Epson FX personalities with a parallel interface) which has been networked via a HP JetDirext Ex Plus print server. That part appears to be operating correctly.
    We have tried a number of drivers / printer personalities with varying levels of success:
    ESP / EPSON 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Epson FX personality
    ESP / OKIDATA 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Oki Microline personality
    Ghostscript / epsonc / Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic PPD / Epson FX personality
    Ghostscript / ibmpro / IBM ProPrinterII Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
    Ghostscript / okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
    There were no appropriate drivers in Gutenprint (5.2.3 version) The most successful is the okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin settings, it can print A4 and honors the Printer Features Resolution settings in the print dialogue.
    Q1: Should we see anything in the Printer Info / Installable Option, it is always blank ?
    The issue is custom page sizes, we can manage / add Custom Pages Sizes via the Page Setup / Paper Size interface and they draw on the screen OK but they do not work at the printer (various issue at the printer such error messages, junk printing and wrong orientation):
    Q2: Are we heading in the right direction or is there a better way to handle this ?
    Q3: Would 10.5 solve all our problems, are the print drivers any better ?
    Q4: Is this the correct way to specify custom page sizes, is this all we need to do ?
    Q5: Is so how do we get the driver to respect the size, do we need another filter or something ?
    Q6: Is it possible to add (by hand) custom page sizes to the ESP drivers or Foomatic PPD files so they they appear as a "standard" offering in the Page Setup / Paper Size interface ?
    Sorry for the long / complicated post and thanks in advance for any advice / assistance.

    Testing on 10.5.7, Tried both Oki 9-Pin Series 1.3 / Microline personality (no joy) and Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 (this is a much better driver than 1.1) / Epson FX personality but not much joy with custom page sizes,
    The Oki 9-pin Series 1.3 and the Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 should produce the same results. The only difference in the PPDs is the printer model name.
    After some testing, I find that the output is not the same despite the two PPDs being virtually identical. I did spot in the CUPS source code for the rastertoepson filter that there is some model name matching for Epson printers. Thus I can see where the output using the Oki 9-pin PPD could be different than when using the Epson 9-pin PPD.
    but again once I imbedded the page size into the ppd some (but frustrating) luck. I can get it to respect the paper orientation and it prints well but I could not get the form length to work properly. At best over a print run of 7 labels it would creep up the label by about 0.1 inches / 2 mm.
    Just for the fun of it, I made some additions to the Epson 9-pin 1.3 PPD. All I can say is that I could print a job to file. I have no way to know what it would look like on paper.
    I did find that using a custom paper size did add some unwanted margins to the output bounding box. Putting the custom page size into the PPD seemed to get around that issue.
    I added the following lines to the Epson 9-pin PPD 1.3--
    <pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">*PageSize Label1/Label1: "<</PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"

    *ImageableArea Label1/Label1: "0 0 288.00 107.80"
    *PaperDimension Label1/Label1: "288.00 107.80"</pre>
    This adds a paper size with the 4 inch (288pt) width and 1.5 inch (107.8pt) height. That represents the 1.4 inch label and the 0.1 inch gap between labels. I set 0pt margins except for the bottom where is set the 0.1 inch (7pt) gap as the bottom margin.
    The full diff in context is--
    <pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">loki:~ matt$ diff -u /usr/share/cups/model/epson9.ppd ~/Desktop/epson9.ppd

  • Problems with Custom Paper Size and Address Book

    I'm having some trouble printing from Address Book onto a custom paper size. I'm attempting to set up a notecard, and only print one at a time, rather than multiple columns as in the Labels option. The trouble is that when creating this small size, Address Book doesn't recognize it as anything other than a regular sheet of US Letter, and thus prints the address in the middle of the page.
    I have no problem printing envelopes, though, which seems odd because they too go in the manual feed for my printer. The notecards are similar width to the envelopes, but only about half the length.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with custom paper sizes printing improperly? I'm using an HP 4515 LaserJet, but have access to a few other laser printers. Thanks for any insight

    I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix.  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade.  I print in Photoshop fine.
    If you found an answer, I would appreciate  knowing how to do it!
    Thanks

  • Disk Utility - create ISO Data DVD image for burning?

    Which are the exact options in Disk Utility that I need to select, in order to create an ISO DVD Data image that will be readable by PCs and Macs alike?
    I have looked on the web and in the help but am none the wiser due to lack of an explanation of the options
    Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled),...,MS-DOS (FAT)
    Partitions:Single partition - Apple Partition Map,...,Single Partition CD/DVD with ISO data
    If you cannot point me in the direction of some decent documentation, please just tell me which options I need to select to create an ISO Data DVD
    Thanks

    Try this link.
    Basically, you can drag a folder into the list on the left. Then, with the folder selected, click New Disk Image from the toolbar at the top (not sure of the exact wording, but it's something along those lines). Make sure to select ISO from the pop-up menu.
    Also try this article to convert a DMG to ISO.

  • Anyone having issues with custom paper sizes?

    I've narrowed down my printing problems to be primarily when using custom paper sizes. I still get regular crashes with standard sizes, but cannot print at all if I set up a custom size in A3. I am able to print custom sizes in Lightroom so it must be related to Aperture. I much prefer the way my prints look from Aperture, don't know why but when I export jpg or tiff files from A3 and import into LR the prints are very dull and color is off.
    Anyone?

    I have exact same issue after in my Iphone 4s. This started after upgrading to IOS 6.0.1
    Has anybody got a solution?

  • Photosmart Duplex with Custom Paper Size

    I've recently bought a Photosmart Premium C310a for a personal project where I needed a photo printer that could handle duplex printing and custom sized paper, which according to the spec this printer does. 
    However, when you try to do this the printer driver in Windows Vista tells me that custom sizing is not compatible with duplex printing, rendering the Photosmart Premium a large lump of plastic and wiring that I have no use for.
    Has anyone got any ideas of how I can make this work?
    Thanks,

    OK, the paper weight is outside that "supported" for duplexing as shown in the user manual but it might work.
    I do not have a c310a set up to test with but I tried with a c309a I have here.  What exactly did you try?  I set a custom paper size in the Printing Preferences, Features tab and then selected automatic two sided printing and it seems to work.  Are you trying to print full borderless photo's in duplex mode?  That is not supported and I do not know any way to make it work.  It is also not supported (and will not work) to print with photo media selected and printing in duplex mode.

  • CS6 Problem with Custom Paper Sizes

    When printing on Epson printers (4800,4880,4900) in the Photoshop print settings dialogue box it won't allow me to print at a custom paper size using the sheet or manual feed settings. The paper feed option defaults to Roll Paper when I create the custom paper size, and then when I change it and try and save the settings it just reverts back to roll paper. If I try and send a print after this then the printer won't accept it because it's being told to print on a roll instead of sheet. Why is this?? I'm using CS6 and OS 10.7 and I've never experienced this problem with any previous Photoshop/ Mac OS X before. Please help!

    I use a pc therefor Windows and PC Photoshop.  Anyway The way this works in Philosophy windows print dialog you have to set both Photoshop print settings and the printer driver settings.  And if Photoshop is to handle colors you must set off the device drivers color management. Photoshop Dialog has a printer setting button. I use that to set the device driver setting like color management off, print quality and custom paper size and source roll paper.
    I also wrote a script to tile image into a document for printing on roll paper and eliminate paper  waste. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.html

  • Problems with custom paper sizes in Lightroom

    Running Mac OS-X 10.9.3 (Mavericks). using an Epson Stylus Pro 3880, latest driver installed as confirmed by Epson tech support this morning. using Lightroom 5.4.
    I only see this problem in Lightroom -  not in Photoshop - which leads me to conclude that the problem is not an Epson-driver problem.
    The problem is the following:
    In the Print Module, I click on 'page Setup' bottom left. I define my custom paper size under 'Paper Size' -> 'Manage Custom Sizes'. Click OK.
    I then enter 'Print Settings...' bottom left adjacent to the 'Page Setup' button. Select my printer, click on the 'Layout' drop-down list box button and select the 3rd tab in the list: 'Paper Handling'. Here is the problem: the 'Destination Paper Size' option is grayed out and unelectable, and incorrectly shows 'US Letter', which cannot be changed. If I click on 'Scale to fit paper size', and try to make a print to my custom paper that way, it still does not work: it only prints on a fraction of the whole paper.
    I have also tried Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners to change the default paper size there, but it makes no difference - it still incorrectly shows as 'US Letter' in Lightroom.
    This problem does not occur in Photoshop: In Photoshop, if you go to File -> Print in the menu, and then hit the 'Print Settings' button near the top, my custom paper size is selectable in the 'Paper Size' list box. So it is a problem which is specific to Lightroom.
    Any help appreciated. I have spent most of the day on the phone to Epson and Adobe Tech Support, and no-one has been able to dove the problem
    Thanks,

  • Page size printing problems with custom page size I created

    I have created a custom page size (very small) for printing an advertise I had to print, and now after that operation all the pages I ask to print to any printer are automatically printed in that setup, and sometimes even if I change to A4 manually, the page changes but the borders of the page still remain the old one (result i can not print).

    I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my brand new iMac.  I'm using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and I have opened the "Word Publishing Layout" template (this is essentially Microsoft Publisher).  I'm trying to set up custom page sizes by performing the following steps.  I go to File --> Page Setup and use the following settings:

    2. Format For: Any Printer
    3. Paper Size:  I choose "Manage Custom Sizes"

  • How do I prevent snags when buring my DVD with a soundtrack for playback on a DVD player?  It only plays clearly on the computer itself.

    I totally get how to create a DVD with a great soundtrack on my computer.  I put the whole thing together and when I play it back in preview, it plays beautifully.  However, when I select "burn" and burn it do a disk and then go to play it on my DVD player hooked up to my TV, there are rough spots---times when the sound goes out and then comes back on, etc.  
    Someone wrote me and said to choose "save to disk" first and then use disk utility or Toast to burn it at a slow speed.  I tried doing this and when I selected "burn to disk" it only came up as an audio file and a separate video file, so I was lost at that point. 
    Any ideas of why this discrepancy might be happening?  I'd appreciate any of your thoughts!
    Thanks!
    Rick

    okay, I can help you a little bit. your dvd player (standalone) plays mpeg-2, I think, so
    in order for a disk to work in it, both the audio and video have to be combined into a whole package, which i think is video_ts.Using Toast, choose video, then dvd-video then drag n' drop, and it may work. As far as  i know, disk utility cannot make video dvd's, but  I may be wrong, and you may be right. I used iDVD, but there are probably other programs that may do as good a job of burning. Oh, and this is most important: Some blanks will work ok, and others won't. Verbatim, maxell ( I think) and Taiyo Yuden will work fine. the other ones are a gamble. I think what it's supposed to do is called muxing. I'm sure someone will correct me on this. You could try using "Burn" which is relatively cheap or Handbrake and see if that will do what you want to do. not that it's super important, but the amount of Ram in your machine is helpful too
    anyways, good luck

  • UITableView with custom frame size within a UINavigationController... how?

    I've seen similar questions asked all over the web, but so far not a single "real" answer has cropped up, so hopefully you folks will know the way to do this.
    I have a main view that with a UIView subview, inside of which I am programmatically adding a UINavigationController and UITableView that is encapsulated in a +regular UIViewController+, to allow it to be pushed/popped onto the navigation controller. I'm essentially just trying to get a table+navcontroller combination that only takes up about half the screen height.
    The problem isn't that it doesn't work, because I have no problem getting the table and navigation controller working together as expected. The problem is that no matter what I do or try, I cannot get the table view to be smaller (in height), than full-size, meaning that when contained in this ~200px navcontroller-in-subview, there are a large number of rows the user cannot select because attempting to scroll to them immediately "bounces" back. You can see that the rows are there when you "pull" the scroll down, but can never get it to stay.
    As it appears, the table view is too large in height. I've gone as far as setting the table to a height of 10, to no avail. Autoresize masks have no effect.
    Please note that I'm NOT using an instance of UITableViewController, but rather the plain vanilla UIViewController, because creating an instance of the former automatically creates the underlying UITableView, which was always sized to large, as well. I had some advice that I should attempt creating the table and view controller independently, add the former to the latter and then push the view controller onto the navigation controller. Again, this does work, but the size is all out of whack.
    Finally, in quick psuedo-code, this is essentially what I'm doing:
    (this is found in MainViewController::viewDidLoad)
    CGRect frame = subviewContainer.frame;
    frame.size.height = 10;
    frame.origin.x = 0;
    frame.origin.y = 0;
    UITableView* table = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
    table.autoresizesMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
    UIViewController* tVC = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
    tVC.view = table;
    UINavigationController* navC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tVC];
    [subviewContainer addSubview:navC.view];
    Thanks for any tips you might have: this is quite the frustrating problem!

    I have an app that is absolutely kicking my butt. I have a UITabBarController that contains a UINavigationController that contains a custom UIViewController. When the user rotates the iPhone, I want to hide the navigation bar, hide the tab bar and swap out a UIImageView in the custom view controller and I want the image to be full-screen. I've figured out how to get rid of the navigation and tab bars, but making the UIImageView full-screen is what's killing me. When the image shows up, it is the size it would be if the tab bar was visible. In the didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation method, I hide the tab bar by doing:
    tabBar.hidden = YES;
    I've tried resizing the UIImageView by doing:
    img.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 480.0);
    but that just screws up the image even more. I tried resizing the tabBarController's view, and I've tried resizing the current view, but alas to no avail.
    Can anyone help me not be stupid?
    Thanks!

  • How do I set up new Document Profile with custom page sizes?

    I see that different profiles have different sets of page sizes. I need a set of page sizes which I use often, and I would like to create a set of these sizes in a new profile, or at least somehow add them to the very minimal set of page sizes which can be selected when setting up a new document. Can this be done?

    Thanks Jerron, I have done this but it only adds one document at one size to the list of presets. The list of sizes that comes with it is the same as the preset it was created from originally. What I would like to do is add to the list of sizes which comes with any one of the document presets or create a new one with a new list of sizes.

  • Problem with custom book size and print to PDF

    I'm trying to create a 20 page 8x8 book which consists of 10 16x10 spreads. In other words, page 1 and page 20 are not start on the right and left respectively, there are exactly 10 16x10 spreads. This is a requirement for KISS wedding books. I am running into two problems:
    1. The album designer seems to be forcing me to have the first page consist of a single 8x8 page, even though the last page can consist of a 2 page spread.
    2. When I do print to PDF, I get 20 8x8 pages. If I change the paper size to 16x8, each 16x8 spread is followed by a single 8x8 repeat of the right side of the previous 16x8 spread. I could live with the 20 8x8 pages if there was an easy way to recombine these as 10 16x8 pages.
