Can Enery Saver settings affect performance in iDVD

Hi,
I would like to know if changing the settings in Energy Saver in System Preferences will result in iDVD encoding taking MORE time and thus save on processor heat etc, thus allowing me to fully encode a slideshow and its transitions without the iDVD quitting unexpectedly?
I notice when I encode using BEST PERFORMANCE that I get the encoding to go further than when I choose PROFESSIONAL QUALITY.
Many Thanks,
James

allowing your system's hard drive to "sleep" while encoding an iDvd is simply NOT recommended regardless of the fact it may be less CPU intensive. Yes it produces less cpu heat BUT it also makes for a greater number of read / write errors each time you allow the HD to enter sleep mode and the transition in and of itself can trigger the application to quit.
It's best to set these energy saver controls to "Never" while encoding. The only exception is allowing the display to sleep while encoding which can safely be performed while encoding. However my personal preference is to set EVERYTHING to Never and simply turn off the display as it encodes.

  • Printing setting job log - can't save settings.

    Hi, this problem's been around some time with my printing settings.
    I am attaching the my setting image as below.
    User ID & User Code when printing Color from my computer is '100109'.
    I want to permanently save this numbers.
    However, every time I try it appears as '100108'; may be my previous setting.
    How can I save it as '100109'?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Your image shows that you are using the Presets menu. If the Preset of Color has been saved with a particular User ID/User Code (ex 100108), then delete this Preset and create a new Color preset using the number you want (100109).
    To do this, with the Color preset selected, click on the Presets drop menu and select Delete. Then, change to the Job Log menu, enter your 100109 User ID and Code, and then click on the Presets drop menu again and select Save As. Give it the name of Color and click OK.
    Now when you print and select the Color Preset, the Job Log menu should show the 100109 User ID & Code.

  • New WRT54GL: can't save settings!! (firefox, chrome ..)

    Hello,
    I bought a new WRT54GL (v 1.1)
    Problem: I can't make any changes in the settings, using the webbased configuration.
    everytime I click apply/save,  I get a blank page saying:
    The webpage at http://192.168.1.1/apply.cgi might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

    Are you trying to make the changes on your router from a Wired computer or Wireless Computer? What settings you are trying to change on your Router? Have you tried from a different computer and checked if you are facing the same problem or not.

  • Can't Save settings in Web Service

    Strange: Recently, I neeeded to change a few trivial things in the Web Service. But when I click Save, the list of Sites disappears, and if I click back on the Sites button I see that the change I wanted wasn't saved. It doesn't matter what I change -- any setting for any site in Web Service is not Saveable.
    Anyone else run into this? Know of a way to solve it?
    ...Rene

    Yes, thanks. I've been editing httpd.conf anyway, and whenever I run apachectl configtest, there are no problems with the configuration. So I know that what I've done is okay, and shouldn't cause Server Admin to refuse to cooperate -- but for some reason it does. I mean, at this point, I can't use Server Admin at all for the Web Service, which is starting to make the Xserve feel like nothing more than a pretty Linux box.

  • Can preloader sound settings affect the swf it loads?

    Thanks to kglad, my preloader music now fades out as the progress bar completes (the preloader code is below with the new code in bold).
    However, the new code added to the preloader seems to be affecting the sound in the main swf (the bigger swf that the preloader loads - 'lesson.swf' - which is a series of exercises).
    The exercises in the main swf have sound cues for right and wrong answers. The first time the main swf loads, there is no sound at all in the exercises. If I navigate to another page of the website and come back to the exercises, the sound is normal. But if I navigate to another page and come back a third time, the sound is audible, but reduced in volume. If I keep switching off the page and back to the page, the sound varies from no sound to full sound to about half the full volume.
    Is it possible that the code on frame 2 of the preloader, the code that sets the volume for the preloader music, is also applying to the main swf, so that whatever point the preloader progress bar gets to before the main swf loads becomes the volume of the main swf? The first time the preloader runs, the progress bar goes all the way from left to right and the sound volume fades to zero. Then the volume in the main swf is zero. The next time the preloader runs, it only gets a little way across before the exercises come up, and the sound in the exercises is full volume.
    Is there a way to fix this? I should add that if I comment out the new code that fades out the preloader music, all the sound works normally. Thanks in advance.
    var alreadyExecuted:Boolean
    if(!alreadyExecuted){
    alreadyExecuted=true;
    var s:Sound=new Sound(TitleScreen.Notes_mc);
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", "100");
    my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
    preload = new Object();
    my_mc.addListener(preload);
    preload.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) {
                    container_mc._visible = false;
                    loadingBar._visible = true;
                    loadingBorder._visible = true;
                    loadingText._visible = false;
                    loadingTitleScreen._visible = true;

                    loadingBorder._visible = false;
                    loadingBar._visible = false;
                    loadingText._visible = false;
                    loadingTitleScreen._visible = false;
                    loadingLessonName._visible = false;
                    gotoAndStop(4);
    my_mc.loadClip("lesson.swf", "container_mc");
    ACTIONS LAYER, FRAME 2:
    loadingBar._width = (container_mc.getBytesLoaded()/container_mc.getBytesTotal()) * 576.0;
    loadingText.text  = "Loading " + Math.round(container_mc.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) + " K  of "+ Math.round(container_mc.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + " K";
    var vol:Number=Math.round(100*container_mc.getBytesLoaded()/container_mc. getBytesTotal())
    if(vol>80){
    s.setVolume(5*(100-vol));

    your sounds in the loaded swf should be instantiated using something like:
    var somesoundinstance:Sound=new Sound(this):

  • Unable to save settings in mail app for Mac OS X for iCloud mail?

    Hello
    I have two questions really.
    1: I wanted a new email address, was happy to see I could create an iCloud email address - but it seems you need an initial email address to have an iCloud email address. As in, I couldn't use it as my apple ID?
    2: I cannot save settings for my iCloud mail because the incoming server is 'greyed out' and the mail app identifies this as the incoming server being blank which it isn't, but I cannot edit it as the 'greyed out' font is locked and unchangeable. Apple state that the incoming server should read as:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    But mine reads this and it won't let me change it. Other wise the email works, but I do need to adjust the settings etc and I can't because the incoming server is apparently blank when it isn't.
    Server name: p09-imap.mail.me.com
    I hope this made some sense to someone. I simply wanted a new email address and it's taken up the best part of an afternoon.
    Thank you.

    Problem Solved(ish)
    I had to Apple chat, iCloud is set a certain way, and that's it.
    They edited my full name FOR ME (I know).
    Password is made to match your Apple ID, so that's how to change that.
    As for Mailbox behaviours, as I said above - On the left side bar of Mail app, right click or Command Click under Mailboxes iCloud.com and select Get Account Info then> Mailbox Behaviours. Your settings will save then without the whole 'Can't save settings when incoming server is blank.'
    I hope Apple will soon make that if they must have an auto-filled Incoming Server, that the Mail app will not recognise it as blank so that we can at least edit Mail preferences when and how we like it.
    Thanks.

  • Cool'n'Quiet affecting performance?

    Hello,
    I noted something in my K9A2 Platinum and AMD Phenom 9950.
    First of all I had it oced to 2.7 (x13.5) and Cool'n'Quiet enabled.
    Well, due to a bug in Everest 5.02 sensor driver, I can't read correctly the CPU clock because this program show even speed like 700 MHz when I'm doing heavy task. As I thought it was impossible, I ran CPU-Z and this showed the correct values (1300 MHz when idle and 2700 when doing heavy tasks).
    The issue is the following: Today I was converting an .avi video to DVD using a program that is optimized to use only two cores. The strange thing I noted is that processor was at 1300 MHz and only few times it changed to 2700 MHz. However voltage was at 1.3 all the time until conversion finished. Of course that if I disable CnQ or I choose another energy plan, speed is 2700 even when idle.
    This program (ConvertxtoDVD) used about 50% of my processor.
    Does CnQ affect performance? I thought that a conversion like that is a heavy task and it can benefit from 2700 MHz instead 1300 MHz, or CnQ is smart enough to know when an app. benefit or not from a higher speed?
    Thanks!
    I want to say than one of the better thing of MSI is its forum 

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Based on the results I can confirm that CnQ affect performance, quite disappointing. I don't know the difference between the CnQ of Athlon 64 X2 vs. Phenom, but in Athlon the processor change speed to its maximum  immediately when I started doing heavy tasks instead of Phenom changing its speed to max only when 4 cores are being used and only some times when using less than 4 cores.
    Here're results:
    With CnQ ENABLED:
    CPU Score   3347
    CPU1 - Red Valley   1,160 FPS      CPU Tests
    CPU2 - Red Valley   1,545 FPS      CPU Tests
    With CnQ DISABLED:
    CPU Score   3622
    CPU1 - Red Valley   1,209 FPS      CPU Tests
    CPU2 - Red Valley   1,737 FPS      CPU Tests
    What do you think? Is a mobo, CPU problem or a performance hit like this is normal?
    Quote from: Aramus8 on 14-July-09, 05:55:06
    On some programs you will get a performance hit with Cool & Quiet enabled.  Run 3DMark06 with it on and then with it off and you will see the performance hit.  Most programs you will never notice.

    All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

    Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted.  Do you actually mean Restore the phone?  See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

  • Can I save my Audition CC settings on Cloud?

    Can I save my Audition CC settings on Cloud? keyboard shortcuts, preferences etc. that will save my a lot of time when I install Audition next time. thanks.

    You can save the contents of C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\7.0 to wherever you like. Personally I wouldn't put it anywhere near the 'cloud' as I'd want it accessible to swap out. If you want to put the settings on another machine, I reckon that a USB stick would be a far better idea for moving them.
    If you're using a Mac, the path will be different, but the principle is the same.

  • "Import SIM Contacts" under settings-so how can you save to SIM card?

    Update took several hours and afterwards, contacts as well as internet bookmarks and map bookmarks are gone. However, the pictures under the camera icon remain. How is that? Are they on the SIM card? How come contacts didn't save to the SIM card? How can you save to the SIM card through itunes or the phone?
    Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?

    Apps you can re-download for free. SMS's are part of the iPhone backup, they would have to copy that folder to a thumb drive along with your photos, calendar & contact database. Your iPhone backup is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Regarding your contacts & calendar, you'd have to first export them to the thumb drive, then copy to the proper location on the computer you intend to use. Same with your iphone backup & pics.

  • Can I save an IMovie slideshow to a DVD or do I need to use IDVD?

    I created a slideshow using still pictures/movies in IMovie. Can I save this to a DVD or do I now need to create something using IDVD?

    Share your movie using either Share/Media Browser or Share/iTunes.
    Now, open iDVD. In iDVD, open the Media Browser at the bottom right of the iDVD screen. Find your movie in the Movie Browser and drag it into your iDVD project.

  • Can't save location for Trash at Server Settings (IMAP setting).

    Hi,
    I'd like to set a folder (one under an account name) to move messages to when deleting messages with IMAP.
    I can't select Trash under an account name at Server Settings. I can only select Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
    I find that the folder settting was not saved at all. Folders settings for sent messages and drafts are OK.
    How can I save a folder setting (one under an account name) for deleted messages ?
    I guess this situation results to 2 Trashes (one under the account name and oner under "Inbox" under the account name). In fact, I have a trouble deleting Trash under "Inbox" under the account name.
    Thanks in advance for any advices or clues for the solution or workaround.

    (addition to the question)
    To be exact, folder selection pull-down menu doesn't start with the account name, rather, start with "Inbox", therefore, I can only choose Trash under "Inbox".

  • How can I save the Personal Settings done in the SAP standard viewer

    Dear All,
    I am facing the problem that I am not able to save changes made in the personal settings of the SAP standard viewer. I want to change the Colors to monochrome and I also want to change the background. Unfortunatelly these changes are not saved and I have to do that every time I am starting the viewer.
    How can I save these changes?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Best regards,
    Markus

    Dear Markus,
    normally the personal settings for the ECL Viewer are stored in the registry. Here the value for background color is for example stored in the following directory:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SAP/VCT_Retained/6.1/Common/de/ImageViewUtils
    Depending in the language of the operating system the key has weither the value 'en' (english) or 'de' german.
    So here the personal settings should be stored or can be modified directly.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

    I have Firefox 3.6 on my Mac OSX 10.6.5 and it will not save settings for igoogle or my password for googlemail or hotmail. Can you help?

    Very weird day in Firefoxland
    First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
    Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
    Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
    WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!
