Conforming Audio is driving me up the wall!

Hi all,
Windows Vista Home Premium, i7, 12GB ram, Production Premium CS5.
I am making a DVD in Encore CS5 with 4 AVI files and a static menu.
When I add the Avi video files En conforms the audio...
I was getting frustrated because it seemed the audio was getting lost somewhere so after 'clearing' and re-importing files a few times I came to realise that before conforming the Audio was playing fine but once the Audio was 'conformed' the sound dissapeared? I used AME to create a Wav file from the Avi video files and added them to the EN timelines to get round that problem.
The problem I am having is that EN is conforming the audio every time I go to another window, like Explorer, or even if I preview within EN, I close the preview window (or just come back from explorer) and EN conforms all the files, all over again! It is driving me up the wall!!!
Then I started 'Transcoding Now' my assets and after every Video is finished I get
so I click OK and EN shuts down ...
When I restart it, opening the same project, it gets partway through opening the project then windows leaps in and declares EN to have a problem and the only option is to close the program. I then start it up again and it starts correctly, I can then 'Locate Transcoded File' for the video file I just transcoded.
Seems like ENcore CS5 is no more stable than CS4 and if anything is less stable.
Any ideas? I can still work through all this 'Stuff' and produce DVD's but the Conforming, CONTINUALLY is just so annoying!

Interesting ideas MobyTrix.
Slight problem in that my Encore project did not spring from a Premiere project, Premiere was not involved at any point. There was something weird going on there because EN had written it's Cache files but everytime I switched windows it just had to write a bunch more, it was irritating to say the least.
I was amazed after having this issue and discovering the folder of conforming files. It had, over the months built up to nearly 600GB of data! After the lengthy process of cleaning the database it reduced to 350GB or so, then I reduced it to 0GB by deleteing it all
As far as I have worked out there are 4 aplications using these files; Premiere, Encore, Soundbooth and After Effects.
I recently upgraded my DivX codecs at the insistant pestering of the DivX software and there after none of my Adobe software could read any of the AVI packaged DivX files, I found some older codecs out there and installed them and everything went back to normal (what ever that may be).
Encore still crashes on startup with certain projects, I uninstalled it and re-installed and nothing changed, it is just fragile, it is consistent at least and robust enough to go through all the little boughts of behaviour and not get 'broken'.
Perhaps it is all Vistas fault LOL. I think it is just the way things are frankly, with so many different 'platforms' and 'standards' it's amazing anything interacts outside of its own family of hardware/software... The longest project I have worked with was 1 hour and 30 minutes (my own video files edited in PPro for Blu-Ray and DVD) and it all went pretty smoothly, I think upgrading from 6 to 12GB of ram made a big difference.
Cheers,
Peter

Safari bookmarks driving me UP THE WALL

I have checked this forum a few time recently, expecting to see people tearing their hair out over this issue... but there don't seem to be any recent posts about it, either here or in the iCloud forum, so maybe it's just me? (There are some older posts that refer to it, but it's only started being a real problem for me lately.)
I use Safari on both my MacBook Pro (running OS 10.10.1 and Safari 8.0.2) and my iPhone 5c (running iOS 8.1.2). I have Safari set up to sync to iCloud on both devices, and until the past few weeks this has worked very well. Now, however, it is a nightmare. (I can't remember whether or not the change coincided with an OS update... it's possible that it did.)
I have a lot of bookmarks, and they're all sorted into a hierarchy of folders. If I add new bookmarks - on either device - they show up almost instantly on the other device too. But they are always added at the top of their list for some reason, rather than the bottom like they used to be. This isn't really a problem, more an oddity. The real problem is with the sorting.
Don't get me started on the lack of an easy inbuilt way to sort Safari bookmarks. I used to use Glims, which was brilliant, but it doesn't yet work with Yosemite, sadly, and I haven't found anything else that does what I need. (There are things that will sort ALL the bookmarks, but I don't necessarily want them all to be alphabetical!) So, since Yosemite, I've been sorting bookmarks manually... but iCloud won't let me do that any more. If I rearrange any of my bookmarks, they always reappear in their original position within seconds. I've tried the obvious solution, i.e.
1. switch off iCloud syncing on both devices (and go offline as well just in case)
2. organise bookmarks on Mac to how I want them, and export to html file
3. go back online & switch iCloud syncing back on on Mac
4. delete all bookmarks on both Mac and iPhone
5. keep repeating step 4 until bookmarks stop reappearing
6. re-import bookmarks on Mac from html file
7. switch iCloud syncing back on on iPhone
This strategy does solve the problem for a little while, but has two main drawbacks:
(a) the same problem recurs every time I add any new bookmarks
(b) the iPhone bookmarks take ages to reappear, and when they do they're all out of order (and not in folders - the folders are there, but they're all empty and the bookmarks are loose in a random order)
Does anyone have any suggestions, please? All I want to be able to do is to keep my bookmarks synced AND in order! Thanks in advance.

To answer your play in order question you need to figure out the name of the person who is doing the podacast. i.e.) Tim Henson for distorted view. Then you go to "Music"-"Artisits"-"Tim Henson" or whatever and then it will play them all in order.
For your second question did you delete it of your computer or off you iPod?

Itunes always losing my music, driving me up the wall?

This is really getting on my nerves. I have reloaded the songs into itunes so many times that I have lost count, when the list of music comes up, I manually go in delete the song/album and reload it into itunes. I have a folder w/all my music on my desktop, so I don't why itunes keeps losing the location of the music. Why does this keep happening? With older versions of itunes this happened like 1x or 2x. Btw I have always used a PC and currently using an HP envy.

See this post.

2 Teenagers driving me up the wall

My daughter and her friend want to swap phones. They are both on Verizon, on totally differnet plans. Is this something that I can do on-line? They went to the Verizon store and were told the store was too busy. Any help is appreciated

You can't do ti online because you can't activate a phone that's technically already active on another phone number. Do you have a third phone that's not being used? If so, you can dial *228 from that phone, and activate on of the two numbers there (Let's call it number 1, the other number 2, and our phones A,B, and C). So you activate Number 1 on Phone C through *228 or online. Now, Phone A doesn't have a phone number on it, so you can activate Number 2 to Phone A using *228 or online. After that's done, Phone B will no longer have a number assigned to it, so you can activate Number 1 to Phone B using the same methods. Alternately, you can call customer service and have them swap them for you, but to do that you'd have to have an authorized user from each account available to verify and all that.

BT are driving me up the wall!

So today we were told (for the 2nd time) that a BT technician would be around to help us with our problem. My wife had to take a day off work in order to be at the house. Guess what? No show!
I am no keyboard basher but I find this BT customer service to me absolutely terrible. We weren't even informed of a cancellation by the BT representative. I can never recommend BT to anyone after this whole debacle. It's just incredibly rude not to receive any correspondance whatsoever!

If your services are currently down or not working as they should, please check your telephone number with our service status page to see if there’s an outage in your area. If there is, rest assured our engineers are working hard to get everyone’s lines back up and running.
If your service is down how do you check.
By the time you are reading that status page it would be fair to assume you have access to the internet from somewhere such as on your mobile phone, or on another network say at a friends house or at work or perhaps via a wifi hotspot. If you can't get that you can phone 0800.169.0199 and it will give you the same information.

Connecting the coax cable (from the wall) to my tv instead of box?

I was told this:
Though I though in order for the set top box to work you need the coax plugged into the box?
Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Danice'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
{edited for privacy}
Danice: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung technical support. How may I assist you?
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the instructions to change the source on the TV.
Danice: What are the devices connected to the TV?
David: no I think you mis understand me.
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
David: am I talking to a robot or a real person?
Danice: I am sorry for the confusion.
Danice: You are chatting with a Live Person.
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the information about the TV source on the TV.
David: ok
Danice: The TV source on the TV is nothing but the cable from the wall or antenna connected to the coaxial port on the TV.
Danice: You should connect an antenna or cable from the wall to this port and perform the auto programming through Menu options to get the display.
David: oh the cable from the wall goes to the cable box though?
Danice: No, this port is only for the cable from the wall directly to the coaxial port on the TV.
David: I'm confused cause my cable provider says the cable from the wall goes into the coax on the set top box? So how would the set top box work without the coax plugged in?
Danice: I will clarify that for you.
Danice: The Coaxial port on the TV will work only for the air channels like Antenna or cable from the wall and this is not applicable for the cable by the service provider you are referring to.
David: ok
David: also my other question is UN40F6400AFXZA dose it support Audio Return HDMI?
Danice: I will check that for you.
Danice: Yes, the HDMI 2 is the ARC port on the TV.
David: awesome how do I set it up?
Danice: Yes, follow the instructions mentioned in the link below to use the ARC feature:
Danice: http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber/popup/iframe/pop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp?idx=469179&modelname=UN4...
Danice: Are you able to access the link?
David: yes thank you

The Verizon signal is delivered via coas to the set-top box which allows you to get all of the channels you subscribe to. You then hook the STB your TV (recommended via HDMI in your case since you have an HD set with HDMI inputs). The coax signal must be supplied to both your STB and your router.
If you plug your coax directly into you TV and do a channel scan, you will only recieve local channels (and a couple of others) because all other channels are encrypted and require an STB (or a cable card with an appropriate device) to decode.

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

How to avoid Conformed Audio in CS5.5 for large files?

I have been an avid hater of the conformed audio files since they were introduced. It's not like my 8 core computer can't mix audio in realtime.
Please Adobe is there ANY way to avoid them? What about for AME? there is no realtime playback in AME so i dont need conformed audio? yet it still makes them?
I need to drop a 322GB 14hour video clip into AME and re-encode it. what a nightmare! I have to wait for it to analyze and create a 9GB CFA file.
There is no reason i should not be able to simply drop a file into AME, pick my preset and click go, should be as simple as that.

Please Adobe is there ANY way to avoid them? What about for AME? there is no realtime playback in AME so i dont need conformed audio? yet it still makes them?
Nope; nope; Premiere Pro and AME use the same engine or "Media Core" so that's why; unfortunately.
The bottom line is that there is no way to avoid conforming for clips that "need" conforming. The more feature requests we make to end the madness, the better: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Problem with Premiere always conforming Audio again & again

I've got a problem with premiere CC which is always conforming audios time & again & again. Although this problem is not new in Premiere and I did face it in previous versions. But I've never found a good way to avoid it, especially when I work with much heavier clips or with some formats like mpeg or mov....
What should I do? Is that a network issue?
Thanks, Jim.

No Antivirus.
Audio is 5.1 audio from the video AVCHD, and music tracks are mp3 files.
Hardware: Intel i7 970 hex core processor, system drive (C:) 600GB 7500rpm, data drive (F:) where audio and video files are stored 10000rpm 500GB velociraptor, NVidia GTX 470 video card.

"conforming audio"

I have repeatedly attempted to export, both to Encore and simply as a movie and in every case, I get a dialogue box that simply says, "conforming audio" and nothing happens. I have consulted Help, Help Online, and the printed manual and can't find a solution.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks,
Rod Brown

Re-conform Audio Possible?

Hello,
Is there a quick way to tell premiere to re-conform the audio without having to close the app or project and reopen?
I have to close premiere pro and reopen to get the audio to conform when switching projects.
I noticed my issue is repeatable when i have a project open, and I open another project from File>Open. When i do this the audio conform process does not complete or even start. I have to close the program and reopen for it to start on the new project. Otherwise my project has no audio.

Conforming audio caches time & again
