Deleting the uncompressed video file once m2v and aif have been created
When I create a dvd then close the project.
I then later delete the uncompressed video file captured from tape.
I reopen DVD studio pro and it tells me that it cannot find original file.
I tell it to used m2v encoded file as new video file and aif encoded file as new audio file.
But i am then given an error message and these two files disapear.
Can anyone help me out. Surely i should not have to keep the original captured video file for every dvd I want to make. The idea surely is that once DVD studio pro has made m2v and aif files then the project should be able to use those to create any further DVD of that project.
I've still never seen any problems with a single video track and uncompressed audio.
I won't argue that it never happens to anybody, of course, but I've made DVDs for a lot of people, and usually the only problems I hear tend to be a problem with their brand of player not being able to recognize the media. Those are relatively rare and almost always has to do with cheaper brands of DVD players. If they can get it to start at all, I haven't heard of any trouble with playing the whole thing.
I would like to know if that's the problem I had with trying multiple video tracks, though. DVDSP would refuse to even finish the build. It would start to mux, then partway through, say the bitrate was too high and abort. It was a long time ago, but I would've been using uncompressed audio and probably fairly high bitrate video (3.2Mbps, possibly even 3.5). Seemed stupid to me; I would've thought the muxing would be a smart enough design so that only the video and audio tracks in use at any given time (one video, one audio, one subtitle) would count toward your maximum allowed bitrate.
But that brings up another point you guys might try. I heard people mention 3.5Mbps. I use 3.2, and I don't see any noticeable difference in the quality of the video. But switching from uncompressed audio to ac3 definitely is a noticeable (downward) difference, at least using the stock Dolby 2.0 encoding preset included in DVDSP4 / Compressor 2 and a standard stereo (2-channel) source. I did several different tests where I encoded the audio both ways and burned a test DVD with multiple audio tracks, switching between them to compare. Even normal conversations on the ac3 (Dolby 2.0) track sounded quieter and less dynamic, and there was (naturally) an even more noticeable difference in any kind of music.
So you might give that combination (3.2Mbps video with uncompressed audio) a try in the future, especially if you're picky about the audio. If that fixes the problem, I think it's a reasonable sacrifice since the audio difference is more severe. Basically, if you're doing a professional enough job that the difference in video between 3.5Mbps and 3.2Mbps is important, then you should already be doing a professional 5.1 audio encoding from individual channels anyway.
BTW, I have my 3.2Mbps labeled "120min", since that's about what I can fit on a DVD with uncompressed audio. My other often-used settings are 2.8Mpbs for 135min (three hour-long TV episodes with commercials cut out), and 2.0Mpbs for 170min. (And I can't remember for sure, but the 170min may even be a slight overestimate, so be careful of cutting it too close if you use those settings.) I usually don't even notice a video quality difference with 2.8Mpbs, though I have only used that with a less-than-pristine source anyway, so the lower bitrate isn't the bottleneck for quality in that case.

i preordered the One Direction FOUR album deluxe and they have been releasing songs and itunes says i need to purchase them
The standard process for pre-orders is that you're not charged at the time, but as and when individual tracks are released these are charged at the standard single rate and when the full album is released you pay the balance between what you've paid so far and the full album price.
Has your previous payment method expired or been removed since you registered the pre-order?

I have a third generation iPod touch. It's worked just fine until recently. The battery goes out very very very fast. But the main issue is that all my apps (which is why I use the iPod, to play them) crash after using them for 5 minutes, this does include the built in apps like photos and calendar ect.. I have had this for about 3 years and love it very much it's not damaged at all. I Have taken very good are of it . Is it time for a new iPod or can I fix it please help!!!! Thanks!!
The battery can be replaced: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
As far as crashing apps, it may or may not be related to the battery life. I suggest the usual "restart, restore" routine: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/ -

Adobe deleted a day's work... and I have been saving!
I've been working on a project all day now, meticulously saving my work every ten minutes. Premiere froze up and stayed that way for five minutes, so I said "screw it, I'll only lose ten minutes of work" and I force quit the program. When I reopened my project, it's back to where it was last night! It deleted my day's work! Before I try to piece together the entire project again before my deadline tomorrow morning, is there ANYWHERE where I could look to try to find what was deleted?
There's an option under the Pref's/Autosave tab for number of versions ... I've seen a couple people note that once they'd hit the number they'd set, it stopped saving rather than deleting an older one. I haven't actually tried to see what this does myself, but ... perhaps that's what happened.
At any rate, Shooternz's suggestion to Save As ... every so often is wise. Very, very wise.

Hi,
I have been working on a C# project. It all works fine except the installer. I can install the project but if I then repair it and then try to un-install it I get the following error:
"An exception occured while uninstalling. This excepion will be ignored and the uninstall will continue. However, the application might not be fully uninstalled after the uninstall is complete --> The saved State dictionary contains inconsistent data and might have been corrupted."
This error happens whenever I try to un-install/repair/modify it having previously tried to repair it. It seems that in repairing it the .InstallState file becomes corrupted. I can un-install it by replacing the .Installstate file with a working version. However the end users will not know how to do this. Is there any way of fixing this?
Just in case it is important: It's a Framework 2 project, built in VS2005, it consists of a windows service and a forms application the service relies heavily on SOAP.
Thanks for any help,
JoeI've got almost the same problem
I can't uninstall service that was just installed with install util. Error message is
An exception occurred during the uninstallation of the .Service.WindowsService.ProjectInstaller installer.System.ArgumentException: The savedState dictionary contains inconsistent data and might have been corrupted.
There was no repair or modify after install.
Then I had removed .InstallState file and installUtil did not find any problem in savedState dictionary ;-)
I checked InstallState file but have not found any visible problem with it
Please take a look if you know what is InstallState file

I've got a lot of what seems to be redundant media files on my hard drive, but I'm not sure how necessary all these files really are. To save room, once (fcp1).dv files have been created, can I delete the original .dv files?
This is FCP X related. I haven't used Final Cut Studio. Regardless, for some reason I have many clips twice. The only difference is in the name, not in the kind or size of the clip. For instance, I've got a "clip-2008 09:25:11.dv" and a "clip-2008 09:25:11(fcp1).dv".
I don't know how that clip was created, but all my clips have been duplicated that way. Now it may be that I ingested them in iMovie and then used those clips in FCP X - or perhaps when FCP X says this new version "needs to convert your clips". But the point is that half my media space is taken up by these duplicate files, and I would like to remove one or the other of those duplicates.
Any suggestions? Thanks. -

I have backed up my disk using Time Machine. I then deleted the back-up files from my MacBook hard drive.
I then reconnected my external hard drive and find the files I deleted from my hard drive are also deleted from
my external hard drive. Can someone tell my what what happened? I'm confused.Hello,
Time Machine is not a good way to do that, when it eventually needs more room it deletes old Backups to make room.
If you really want to keep Files but remove them from the Internal Drive, then I'd get another external drive to copy or clone them to that is not used for TM. -
Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?
The built-in guest user account will not do this. Simply create a new standard account and call it "Guest" or "Guest Users" or whatever you like.
Go to System Preferences > Users& Groups, click "+" to make a new account. -
WHAT IF I DELETE THE SYSTEM06.DBF FILE FROM DATABASE /U01/DB/apps_<sid>/ system06.dbf and how to recover it in apps
Hi,
First of all you must Open a ticket with oracle Support and explore the options
You can use this note to fix it:
RECOVERING FROM A LOST DATAFILE IN A UNDO TABLESPACE [ID 1013221.6]
If you is Unable to Drop Undo tablespace Since Undo Segment is in Needs Recovery
You can Upload the following trace file while opening the ticket
SQL>Alter session set tracefile_identifier='corrupt';
SQL>Alter system dump undo header "<new of undo segment in recover status>";
Go to udump
ls -lrt *corrupt*
Upload this trace file
Also upload the alert log fileRegards,
