Changing TV Standard - CRASH! Opening iDVD'04 project

I raised this before, was hoping that the 7.0.2 update was going to fix but no.
Is anyone out there from Apple? Helloooo! You have a defective product that I paid
for and can't use. do you care?
This is the displayed message when opening a project that was made with iDVD '04
"Changing TV Standard
Changing the TV standard will require iDVD to encode all previously encoded assets again."
Which is total BS anyway as the standard has not changed, it was 4:3 PAL in the project and it is 4:3 PAL in the preferences
Rapidly losing faith with Apple.
This is in the console log:

##**## Not encoding -> exit(5)

As a test I took an old iDVD 4 project on my 933 mhz G4 running Panther and saved it as an iDVD ARCHIVE with include Themes and Encoded Assets checked.
I then opened it on my 1.33 Ghz G4 Powerbook running Tiger and iDVD '08.
It 'sort of worked'. Things opened fine but I had a broken asset warning on video in the menu button. I was able to drag and drop the movie on the menu in the Map view to get rid of the broken asset warning, but the movie in the menu button doesn't play. The projects preview fine, but without the movie playing in the button.
Conclusion: an iDVD 4 PROJECT ARCHIVE with Themes and Encoded Assets included DOES open in iDVD '08, but may require some fixing.

Changing TV Standard - CRASH! Opening iDVD'04 project - REVISITED

I raised this some time ago:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7488339#7488339
Basically opening an iDVD '04 project in iDVD '08 fails. Either hangs or quits.
This still happens with 7.0.3. despite the fact that Apple support acknowledged the error over 6 months ago.
Have emailed the first line people on the case but last time I tried that I never got a response, I suspect they have left.
Anyone know of a general email address I can use, I do have a case number.
I have not tried the Archive option yet as suggested by someone in referenced thread.

As far as I can see, your question was answered in your earlier thread.
iDVD 4 is pretty old, and much has changed in iDVD 7/8.
I would suggest using your copy of iDVD 4 to complete the project.

Opening IDVD 4 Project in IDVD 5

When I open a project created in iDVD 4 in IDVD 5, I get what looks like a screen of the Portfolio Template superimposed over the custom Template I created in IDVD 4. It's just a photoshop/jpg image. Also there is a fading in out of the entire combined templates. Slide show works just fine though. How can I get past this? Since I've opened it in "5" I can't seem to go back to "4" where everything was fine. HELP!!!

Use version 2 for FCP5.0, and version 3 for 5.1.
An oh-so-minor (but at the same time, huge) correction: FCP XML Version 3 is for FCP 5.1.2 to 5.1.4.
In a recent project we had to share material with another editor who had other editing software - something called Avid, I think - on his system so he hadn't moved past 10.4.6 and FCP 5.1.0. (and so we gave him XML version 2 files, V3's didn't work)

IDVD09 won't open iDVD 6 project

Last week I upgraded to Leopard and iLife09. Now projects created in iDVD6 (iLife06) won't open. Any suggestions? Thanks.

A step back to backward compatibility??!!! This is such a disappointing "upgrade"! I should have read the fine print before shelling out $80 for this! I just assumed that since all the other upgrades had no issues with opening previous versions of iMovie, that '08 would not be different. I edit in FCP 6.01 but my son, a big fan of iMovie had to revert back to iMovie 6.x. I hope an update will allow iMovie users to open their last masterpiece produced in this "matured" version.

Project Duration error message when loading short iDVD 5 project in iDVD 6

My iDVD 5 project is very short - a total of about 7 minutes (including video and an audio loop for the menu). The video clips were exported as DV NTSC non-self-contained quicktimes from Final Cut Pro.
When I attempt to load the project into iDVD 6, I get the following error message:
Project duration
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn this project, remove some content.
Twirling down the triangle for more info gives:
Project:
- total project duration: -2147483648:-2147483648 minutes
- total project capacity: 429496729 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Also, trying to open the Project Info window crashes iDVD.
I haven't attempted burning, but I'm pretty sure it'd be a waste of a DVD.
My only thought is that iDVD 6 somehow is misreading the non-self-contained quicktimes, but I've never had an issue with them before, and it'd be a drag to redo all my projects with space-hogging self-contained versions.

Many people had trouble opening iDVD 5 projects in iDVD 6 when it first came out. My one iDVD 5 wouldn't open at all.

Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007

Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Error Message(s): None
Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

I may have a resolution now...
I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

Error message opening iDVD project

Need some help figuring this out. I have completed my first DVD project. It is a simple slideshow of a recent trip. I made an image yesterday and it played OK and its 625 MG.
I decided to burn it to my LaCie external burner today, but I can't even open the project. I get the following message: Connection Failed: This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.
I've tried opening the project by clicking on it or through iDVD and get the same results. I've restarted my Mac. I've always been able to open the project previously as I worked on it.
Your advice to solve this problem would be invaluable. Thanks!

Where are your images stored? Where is the iDVD project stored? How does a 'file server' come into play? What is on the network?
I think you've hit on the problem if I'm understanding. The images and the project are stored on my computer. However, when I first tried burning this project about a month ago, I had an error message (can't recall what it was). I decided after that incident that my processor was too slow (700 MHz Power PC G4).
I decided I would use our iMacG5 which has a faster burner so I used our network to transfer the project to the iMac from my eMac. The image I had created played well but I started having problems when I wanted to open the project and burn the DVD. For one thing, the iMac only has iDVD 4. I could see that this wasn't going to work so I went back to the eMac.
Is there any way to salvage all my work. I really don't want to start over.
When you create an iDVD 6 project, the assets you used remain in their original location - if ANYTHING changes , you have a problem.
The photos I used are still in iPhoto and the original project is still on my hard drive. Do you need any other information?

Can´t open iDvd 6 with any previous project

Hi, I have a problem, I have been using the iDvd 5 for a long time, now I start to use iLife 6 and I have maked some projects in iDvd 6, and all it´s perfect, but a few days ago I opened a file project to meke a new burn dvd but for some specifications of my client, I had to change of normal to panoramic, and the way I did it is; selecting a diferent theme (background) and then iDvd asked me if I want to change to a panoramic screen or not, I said yes, finally burn the dvd, everything it´s fine.
But today, I want to use the iDvd 6 again, and when I click in icon, the program start to upload themes, appear the main window in gray (without the project) and "there is no more to do", I only force to exit.
I I have been trying reloading the ilife6 but dosen´t make a change, do you have any idea? Thanks, and sorry if my englih it´s no good.

If you update to QuickTime 7.1.2, that will solve the MP3 issue. It did for me.
but what is this?
I think you mean the "answered star" when members gain points that way. You'll see members "ranking" on the right-hand side of the main page of each different discussion group.
I don't do this for stars, but thanks for supporting "the system."

Logic crashes when trying to open a Garageband project file

Hey guys,
Since discovering that software instrument apple loops (SIAL) do NOT include the effects/sends when they are imported into logic, a discussion on here mentioned that when opened in Garageband, the effects are included. The suggestion was that by opening a garageband project in logic, the effects/sends would all be imported into logic from garage band.
This worked fine for a couple of software instruments such as '80's Dance Bass Synth' but strangely every time i try to open a garageband project file in logic with any of the software instrument loops 'Classic Rock Steel' or 'Southern Rock Guitar' logic crashes trying to open it. It usually loads up until an effect such as channel eq, platinumverb, or ducker and then stops loading and freezes.
It is really odd that it seems to be related to those guitar loops. So i was wondering if anyone has a fix, or if someone could spare a minute of their time and make a garageband project with a 'Southern Rock Guitar 2' software loop and try to open this project file in Logic - just to see if it is a problem with my logic, or if it is the same for everybody.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Nick.

AE CS6 crashes while trying to open CS5.5 project

Just downloaded the demo of CS6, but am having a nightmare trying to open my CS5.5 project. I get the following error message
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shadow/Highlight".
I tried opening a different project, and a similar error occurs, but with a different plugin. This time it's the Paint plugin.
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Paint".
Any suggestions?

Okay.
Using After Effects CS6 trying to open a project that was created in AE CS5.5

Source footage is mostly DPX files, some ProRes quicktimes and PSD files as well. It's a rather large project. The project file weighs in at 328 MB
Not running any other software. still crashes.
I do have Flip4Mac installed... The project also references missing plug-ins. See screencap. These plugins are in the project but are not turned on...
Thats the error.
I disabled render frames simultaneously. I tried enabling caps lock, still crashes. One thing to note is the project pieces start showing up before it crashes, so it is loading most if not all of the project before it crashes... Anything else that might be important to figuring this out?

I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..

You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

FCP crashes, and opening and saving projects take too much time

Since my upgrade to FCP 5.0.4 I’m having trouble on several aspects of FCP.
I am using an Xserve raid storage, connected via fiberchannel to an Xserve with 10.4.4.
The editing computers are connected via fiberchannel and Xsan to the central storage.
FCP runs on an Apple G5, and my projects run from an external disk described as above. Al the other FCP scratch disk settings are also set on the external disks.
Example:
I’m using the FCP 5.0.4 with the multi-clip mode, and one of the consequences is, that my projects become relatively large. The larger they become, the longer it takes to open (up to 10 minutes) it and to save it (up to 2 minutes). Together with these problems, FCP crashes a lot.
I set my “auto-save” at an interval of 15 minutes, to prevent to loose a lot of work, but when it takes 2 minutes to “auto-save” each time, I loose a lot of time.
So when my project was 224 MB, I made a copy of my project, and opened it from a local drive. Opening the project took also 10 minutes. But when it was open, “saving” the project took only 15 seconds, instead of 2 minutes. The “auto-save” was still on the external scratch disk. “Auto-saving” still took 2 minutes. So I set the “auto-save” on a local scratch disk, and after that, it took only 15 seconds. Opening the project still took 10 minutes. And the FCP didn’t crash frequently.
My conclusion would be that the problems have something to do with the size of the project in combination with the connection with the external scratch disks. Is this correct? If yes, how do I solve this.
And if not, what else could it be?
Out of memory
Another problem occurred when my project was 327 MB. I had a multi-clip sequence of 100 minutes, with 4 camera angles and a lot of cuts and effects in it. When I tried to “nest” the sequence, it didn’t work and got the message: “out of memory” . Then FCP crashed.
When I opened the project again (it took 10 minutes), I could not save it anymore: ”out of memory”. So now I cannot work with this project anymore.
How do I solve this?
Is my project or sequence too big?
Another crash example
FCP crashed sometimes, when I switch my “Ëxternal Video” setting from “Blackmagic 8 bit” to “Firewire PAL”. Could this have something to do with it the problems I previously described?
Can anyone help me with these problems?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I've run into a simliar problem and I believe I traced the issue down to the number of files on the drive. A drive I was using had over 600,000 files on it. Opening projects took 5+ minutes, saving took 2+, for a 15 minute simple project.
See if that is your issue.
Edit: 600,000 files on the scratch/capture disk.

X-Code 5.0.2 crashing in Mavericks 10.9 when opening an existing project

Just updated X-Code to 5.0.2 and now it crashes when I try to open an existing project. Seems to OK when a new project is started though.
What am I doing worng?

I had the same issue then I found out all you have to do is to set the default view to List before opening any previous or new project and it worked, credit goes to this user below who found the solution.
ahmedMac25
I was able to resolve by workaround:
1. Closed all open applications
2. relaunch Finder
3. run sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm {} \;
4. this removes all .DS_Store old files on the computer
5. launch finder and set default view to "LIST VIEW" as shown here:http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Setting-Finder-Views-For-Folders-And-Su b-Folders_2.htm
5. rerun the offending application and file chooser works

Cant open iDVD project or even a new project! So mad about to go to Windows

Hello,
I can't open iDVD as a saved project and I can't even go to the window pane that allows me to start a new project because if I open it from the Apps folder, it just opens my last saved project - which doesn't open. Basically it gets stuck and doesn't load the content and beachballs forever.
I just got past an issue with a bad audio file and couldn't burn it to DVD - I deleted all the audio and reloaded the full songs, then burned a disc image to make sure it worked fine (needless to say, when I double-clicked the disc image, it didn't start up in DVD Player like the "great" instructions say). But now, I can't even open iDVD to do anything about it...this is extremely frustrating and Apple support on the phone does nothing, except ask for $199 for a tech to work with you (are you kidding me?!?!!? I paid $2000 for this freaking machine...I'm close to saying a Windows machine is more reliable...but I won't say that)
Anyway, any suggestions? thank you!
Chris

Hi, I got through most of the burning process - however, it "encountered errors" and didn't finish my burn!!! See below for what the info was:
"Errors were found during the burning process:
The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)
There was a problem during multiplexing/burning."
What does that mean and why can't I burn this project!?!!
Thanks
Chris
