Cannot build DVD menu because of Total menu size exceeds limit

Encore won't build my project when i compile it but when i do the check project it shows no error. It starts building and when half of it is done, the error appears and stops the compiling. I have tried reducing the size of all my videos and putting them in MPEG-2 DVD format but it didn't change anything. Since the check feature doesn't see the errors i'm thinking it must be some glitch and i would like to know how to get passed it.
Anyone knows how i can fix this ?

It's not Encore, but the DVD-spec. that is standing in the way. The complete Menuing of the DVD may not span a .VOB, which is ~ 1GB in size. The only course of action is to find ways to trim your Menus and their navigation to below that 1GB limit - the max size of the first .VOB in the Project.
This is for the Menus and all of their Assets, and not the rest of your Project's MPEG-2 files. Those can span several .VOB's.
Please tell us more about your Menus, their number, any Motion/Audio, etc. There might be some suggested methods for trimming those in the details. The more details, the easier it will be for someone to give suggestions that will only lightly impact your Project, and let you get to Burning.
Good luck, and we'll be looking for those details on everything regarding your Menus.

One of the BizTalk Server processes in the affected computer is being throttled for significant periods because of high database size exceeding the threshold

Hello Experts,
I have complex Biz Talk 2013 farm having 20 servers,15 Hosts. In my production environment even if there is no traffic i am getting throttling errors from SCOM for my all the production hosts.
Error : One of the BizTalk Server processes in the affected computer is being throttled for significant
periods because of high database size exceeding the threshold
I checked following things:
1. MsgBoxDB size 748732 KB
2. Spool table size 53 MB
3. Tracking DB size 26724 KB
4. Host settings -- Message Queue Size = 100, MsgCount = 50000 , Spool MP = 10 , Tracking MP = 10
5. Ran Message Box viewer and did not found any error related to DB size. (which counter i should focus on in MBV)
Note -- for DB i am sharing full backup size because it does not have log file size.
Please suggest where i should focus?
Is SCOM reporting correctly because everything is fine in biztalk ?
Thanks

Hi Yagyam
I remember this error from SCOM when you use the standard SCOM BizTalk pack.
Check the eventlog of the server, do you see any errors in event log, this could give some clue to the root cause. Whenever you have this alert from SCOM, you must have
some entries in eventlog relating to the alert raised by SCOM.
Is your message processing by BizTalk hosts are normal? Run the performance monitor to see the bottleneck. Check if there is really throttling.
As mentioned in this blog, check the state of the SQL Agent on BizTalk's SQL database server, may be try restart the SQL Agent on BizTalk's SQL database server.

When building DVD menu error "was not found"

Hi,
whent I try to build DVD disc, folder or image I get error "was not found." What could it be? My project consist of one mpeg2 video file, one mpa audio file and two subtitles tracks. First Encore transcode audio, then give error and stop.
Thanks

Try replacing your mpa audio file with an uncompressed WAV or AIFF file - see if you still get the error.

Outlook 2007 recurring appointments cannot modify and send update; getting "The Attachment Size Exceeds the Allowable Limit" Error

Hi Expert
I am using Exchange 2007 SP3 with Rollup 11 and outlook 2007 SP3 with Windows 7
Our users is facing this error, i can see on the bottom of the appointment, it has attachment with the same appointment attached.
I googling some information, when a user modify an existing recurring appointment, it will auto attach the orginial appointment in the modified appointment, is it true?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/2a5d2475-3c23-4326-a9cf-5f15a64147a8/when-one-occurrence-of-a-recurring-meeting-is-modified-the-update-wont-send-due-to-error-the?forum=outlook
i can use MFCMAIP to remove those attachment, but i cannot find any preventive solution for user daily operation for modifiy the recurring appointment
Could you guy help me on this and i would like to know, is it a behaviour of outlook 2007.
Thanks

Has anyone found a fix for this? I have exactly the same problem and it's driving the users mental. If I use Windows XP and Office 2007 as the same user it's absolutely fine so guess it might be a Windows 7 setting. We are going to be
rolling out more Windows 7 PCs and hope this doesn't start doing it to everyone.

Menu size still exceeds limits (Encore CS5.1)

My project has 12 menus, each with a few seconds of video (longest is 30 sec) and a whole song. Initially, I used to .avi and .wav files, but then discovered the 1GB menu limit and changed the videos to .m2v in Premiere and AE and changed the audio to .mp3 in Audition. I deleted the large files from the project and even removed them from the project’s file directory (saw that tip somewhere). But the “total menu size exceeds limit” error won’t go away. Is there a way to find the menu sizes? They don't show in the Project or Properties tabs. Any other ideas on what may be causing the error?

DVD spec limits the total amount of content for menus etc (menu itself, highlights, motion) to 1 gig. This is the size after it is all processed. Encore predicts how large that will be when it has finished processing, and warns you when that size will be too large.
Changing the sizes of the source files for motion assets, sound, etc, does not help your end result. You set the properties for Encore to use to process in the project setting "default transcode." And in DVD, you have only the choice of the maximum video plus audio bitrate. I do believe you will reduce the size of the menu total by reducing that max, but you will also reduce quality.
It is important that your project setting is for ac3 audio.
Your problem, it seems to me, is that a menu wth a "whole song," that also has video, even if short, and multiplied by 12 such menus, is using a huge amount of space for that content.
You can control some of that if you use highlight only menus, and render the menu background ahead into m2v's and a3c. But that can be difficult.
To experiment, "save as" your project, then remove the video from all your motion menus. If you still get the "menu exceeds limit," your audio alone is a problem.

Encore CS5 freezes when building DVD

Hi!
Just spent lots of money on CS5 and got lots of problems. Cannot build DVD at all. Even 50 sec. HDV, DSLR or any kind. Encore becomes frozen after few min of transcoding.
dual xeon
Nvidia quadro 4800
12 gb ram
RAID 0 2 T plus multiple single drives.
Matrox mini, I have installed just the card but not the software since it is not working with CS5.
My previous versions of CS3 and CS4 worked fine. I would say that CS4 was much more stable.
Any comments?
Thank you in advance.
Michael

I may have had a breakthrough in that, after removing several media converter apps, I now seem to have dependable DVD production. I thrashed around and removed a few things before I checked again, but my suspicion is that ffmpeg might be the culprit, (but I don't have time to reinstall it to verify that notion now).
I'm happy if that fixes the problem, but still can't help but feel that it's a program flaw if its able to zone out so silently, without an error message, or even reporting that it's not responding, (but just perpetually idling). That was a frustrating and erie problem that I hope can a least be improved on to the point of crashing with some kind of diagnostic if not surmounting whatever the conflict is. So far, 4 DVDs without a hitch. Yea.

My iPod touch's menu button literally sank in and now I am unable to use my iPod totally because I cannot press the menu button at all. Can Apple rectify this if I send it to a service center?

You should definetely contact an apple store! If your warranty is valid they will probably fix it for free. Until then go to settings, general, accessibility, assisive touch and turn it on. A circle will appear that does exactly what your home button does.

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.

DVD Recorder D-R18DTKB - Cannot see 'Disc Menu'

I can record things and play them back, but cannot finalise the disc because the 'Disc Menu' does not appear when the button is pressed. The 'Top Menu' appears, but there is nothing when I press 'Disc Menu'. Can anybody help? Thanks

I wanted to provide some clarification.
See the picture below. On the left-hand side is a clip from p.54 of the DVR620 manual, showing the thumbnails visible after pressing the TOP MENU button on the remote. You should see a screen like this if you've recorded at least one thing on the disc, but you've not yet finalized it. On the right is a screen capture of a disc menu seen on my computer using VLC, with a disc that has been finalized. I've actually entered text, whereas the default text for the titles indicate the date and time of the recording.
Which of these types of menus do you see? If the one on the right, it's finalized. If the one on the left, it's not finalized.

DVD menu in Encore from DVD markers in timeline

How can I use the DVD markers on the timeline in Premiere Pro (thus also in Encore) to build a DVD menu in Encore. In premiere pro 2 where the DVD authoring was included the DVD markers automatically presented themselves as a DVD menu.

I edit most Projects into "scenes" or "chapters," on separate Sequences. In Encore, I usually have one En Timeline per Sequence, or Chapter. However, one CAN have one long Timeline, where the Chapters are deliniated via Markers.
When you say "I cannot get more than one scene in the menu." I am not sure that I am following you. You should be able to have 16, or 32 (depends on the Aspect Ratio of the Menu) Buttons, per Menu (total Buttons), and each linked to a Chapter in your Encore Timeline. What exactly is happening, when you try to link your Buttons to the Chapters?
Good luck, and let us know a bit more, as I do not think that you will need to re-do your Project in PrPro, or probably not even in Encore.

Editing DVD menu - discription

I'm using PS CS4 to make a DVD menu for use in PrE4 or PrE8 and can't find a tutoial that defines the various menu symbols - (^^), (=1), ....... etc. Where might I find there discriptions?
Thanks,
RON C

Ronald,
I've got two sources. One is Jeff Bellune's book, Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. He covers the DVD-spec/PSD naming conventions thoroughly. Note: there are differences specific to PrE, as it does the authoring in a semi-automatic way, unlike the manual process in Encore.
The other is the "Customizing your DVD Menus, in the Muvipix Learning Center (about 1/3 of the way down).
As noted above, things are a bit different for PrE Menus. First, they are Menu Sets, containing both a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu. There are special considerations for both the naming conventions of the .PSD's, but also there are .PNG's, that must be present too, to see the Menu Sets in the PrE Menu Library. The specifics of the PrE Menus should be carefully observed, as they differ from the PSD Menus in Encore, because of that semi-automatic authoring in the Elements program.
Jeff Bellune's book will give you the background on the Layer & Layer Set Naming, but does not cover the differences between the straight PSD's and the Elements Menu Set with PSD's. Jeff covers the mechanics, plus the limitations of the DVD-specs., which are very strict on Menus, especially the Sub-picture Highlights. The Menus in Elements must adhere to those same DVD-specs., plus must also adhere perfectly to certain constraints in the program.
Even with a few run-throughs of the Muvipix tutorial and Jeff's book open besides you, I would strongly recommend that you take one of the included Elements Menu Sets and study it at great lengths. Also, study the folder structure in the DVD Templates Library, and the files that are in each sub-folder. Those are important in Elements.
Personally, I find that building Menus for Encore is simple and rewarding. Most of mine are handmade, or loosely based on the Blank Menu, and then built. I find that the extra work in PrE is daunting, because of that semi-automation used by the program. Also, Muvipix has many additional Elements Menu Sets.
Muvipix is a multi-layered site. There is a forum that is open to guests. There is material (training and functional content) available free if one registers, and more that is for sale on an individual basis. Last, they offer subscriptions, and then everything is free. It did not take me too long to realize that a half-day of downloading more than paid for a subscription. I am not sure into which category the Learning Center material falls, and since I am logged in automatically from all of my browsers, cannot even tell you if it's free, for pay if you sign up, or free to a subscriber. It will be clear, when you enter the site.
Also, the forum there is very active, and many folk do design their own Elements Menus. That would be a good place to post too. The Adobe PrE forum doesn't have as many Menu designers, but there are many good articles there, that would be worth reading. Also, a post there will get quite a few responses.
Good luck, and I'll look for your posts into those two fora,

Cant select button in dvd menu

I have made a dvd menu in dvd studio pro 2, i can select the buttons with the control in the simulator, but then when i have burnt the dvd and try to do the same on my tv with the real remote control, I cant select the buttons.
Is there something under "remote control" I should choose specifically, "menu" perheps?
Plaese help, it's so frustrating

Is just one of your buttons selected when the menu starts up (it should be... the default button usually is selected)?
If so then I'll suggest looking at your button navigation - click on a button and check in the propertry inspector to see if the navigation has been set up - if not you can do it manually and specify which button you go to when any directional arrow on your handset is pressed, or you can let DVDSP assign the navigation automatically.
The latter is done from the 'settings' drop down box in the menu editor. I usually leave it until I have got the buttons into position before I add the navigation, because keeping them 'auto assigned' really slows down building the menu or moving buttons around.

Build a menu from scratch in Premiere Elements?

Is there a way to build a menu from scratch in Premiere Elements, i.e. not use the templates? I want a very simple menu on ONE screen, no sub-menus, etc., and all the templates I try end up creating multiple pages of menus just for the FOUR menu markers in my timeline!
Alternatively, how do I delete multiple pages of a menu, when I have only FOUR menu items and want them all on ONE menu page?
Thank you very much for your help.

robertme
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
You cannot create your own movie menu from scratch using Premiere Elements. The movie menu theme traces back to a main menu psd file and a scene menu psd file and assets. It is the .psd files that need to be created in Photoshop CS or higher because of the essential Layer Sets within the Layers Palette of the .psd file. (There may be other .psd editors that can do this if the can handle Layer Sets and SubLayer Sets, but Photoshop CS or higher will do the job.)
It is often easier to customize the Adobe existing themes at the .psd level than to create them from scratch. Success in this task depends of strict adherence to naming and structural details for creating these menus.
I have done and written a lot about this topic. If interested, please see

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 DVD Menu

I read somewhere that I could make a DVD menu, in Adobe Elements for Adobe Premire Elements 10, but I am having troubling figuring out how to do so. Dose anyone know if there is a written or video tutorial for making a dvd template in Adobe Photoshop Elements 10? As that would really help me out, and I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

The Menu Sets in PrE are very involved, as PrE does a lot of semi-automatic authoring, so things have to be done a very specific way. This ARTICLE links to a thread in the Photoshop Forum, where I discuss the naming conventions, etc..
When on is working with PrE Menu Sets, I have several recommendations:
Only start with, and Save Copies of the Menu Sets.
Keep one of the Menu Set Templates handy, as a reference.
Remember that Photoshop can both create and edit Layer Sets (the structure of Buttons), while PSElements can only edit them, and not create them, unless something was changed with PSE 10.
Sub-picture Highlights (the Button "activation" part), can only be 2-bit, and cannot have any FX.
The Layer, and the PSD naming conventions are extremely important. Those special characters are what make the Menu Set work.
When done, Save into a new folder, withing the DVD Template folder hierarchy, and also do the PNG files, just like the DVD Templates have, so you can see them in PrE.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I think that Steve Grisetti covers a lot of this in his PrE and PSE book.

Premiere Elements 9 - unable to select a "poster frame" for DVD Menu - Scene Selection

I've tried a number of different DVD menu themes and the problem is the same for all. The Scene Selections don't seem to provide any way to include a graphic for the poster frame. Have been able to provide a menu background with no problem. Interestingly, the poster frame section of the menu edit fields appears to be somewhat truncated (the spot where you would expect the "drag media here" shows only the bottom portion of a box with no wording and the input is truncated at 00;00;0 with the fifth zero partially cut off.
Any one else seen this? I know I've provided graphics for the scene buttons in the past but cannot seem to get past this situation this time.
Thanks

In Adobe Encore (the authoring program, included with PrPro), one can set the Poster Frame for non-Motion Thumbnails.
For showing a different Clip, in Motion Thumbnails, one must create Menus, that have a Video background, that just looks like it has Motion Thumbnails - they are actually PiP in the Video background.
I do not know about the often touted Sony DVD Architect, regarding setting Poster Frames.
PrE's authoring control is a bit limited, and is designed to get the "average" Project authored, with few navigational bells and whistles.
Good luck,
Hunt
