DVD-9 reliable for encoding and replication?

I was talking to someone at a replication service who mentioned dvd-9 replicated discs are less reliable than dvd-5 because there are more problems in the authoring stage of a dvd-9 disc? Truth to this?
If I encode my 2 hour standard def 720x483 project using DVD SP 4 onto a dvd-9 disk, will the replication be reliable?
I would imagine if I encode the project on dvd-9, watch it on my dvd and the quality is good then my replication would be good as well? Thanks.

I wouldn't say its a problem in the authoring tool but would say it would be a problem with some not knowing the correct steps to take. Not sure who your replicator is but are you talking to the replicator themselves or a broker? Its very possible the person your contacting has no idea what they're are talking about.
Also your about to make the mistake of sending a burned DVD-9 to replication. DVDSP allows you to output DDP images which should be sent to the replication facility via HDD. If a replicator says "send me a burned disc and we'll take care of the rest" you should walk away.
Also its important you receive check discs from them before they do the entire run.

  • Best practice for encoding and decoding DUT/UUT registers? Class? Cluster? Strings? Bitbanging?

    I am architectecting a LabVIEW system to charactarize silicon devices.  I am trying to decide the best way to enqueue, encode, and decode device commands executed by my test system.
    For example, a ADC or DAC device might come in both I2C and SPI flavors (same part, different interface) and have a large register map which can be represented as register names or the actual binrary value of it's address. 
    I would like my data structure to
    *) be protocol agnostic
    *) have the flexibility to program using either the memonics or hard coded addresses
    *) be agnostic to the hardware which executes the command. (
    *) I would like to enqueue mulitple commands in a row.
    I am thinking a detailed class is my best bet, but are there are examples or best practices already established?

    I agree on the detailed class inherited from a general DUT-class. Especially if you want to mix interfaces you need to keep those as far away from your top vi as possible.
    As to the 4th point i'd implement command-vi's as enque and have a in-class command-queue (or possibly just an array of commands).

  • I have a DVD-Rom and DVD-Video card for Powerbook and need advice

    I acquired 2 accessory components for a G3 series powerbook. I have a dual G4 so have no use for them. There is a M4743 DVD-Rom for Powerbook and a DVD-Video PC card for G3 series Powerbook family M5163. There is also a software CD. I would like to sell them but I really don’t how to explain what this stuff does. I tried Ebay and did not find any matches. Does this make a DVD upgrade for a particular Powerbook? Is something else required? Is Ebay the best place to sell? Any idea what this stuff is worth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
    Bob

    Robert,
    You apparently have the DVD Video Player Kit for the Powerbook G3 Series "Wallstreet" M4753.
    This is the DVD-ROM module:
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/customer/product.php?productid=16219&cat=26 6&page=1
    This is the DVD Decoder PC card:
    http://www.ifixit.com/cart/customer/product.php?productid=296&cat=&page=1
    The above DVD PC card is not Apple's but there were two third-party vendors who also offered a DVD kit...VST and MCE. They all served the same purpose and will all be priced similarly.
    Both PC card and optical drive are required to play DVD movies on the Wallstreet, plus Apple DVD Player is only supported when booted to 9.x, not 10.x.
    I really cannot give you a fair price to ask; the above hardware prices are probably high but you will get an idea.

    I am not monitoring the Database – General Forum, so I was not aware of the duplicate thread.
    In addition, the other thread did not mention anything about Oracle E-Business Suite, which is different than what we have here. I assume that you are aware of that the procedure is different here since the application tier is involved.

  • How do I import a personal DVD into iDVD for editing and copying

    I am running 10.9.5. I see that I have 2.66 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of memory
    Do I have enough power on this machine to even do what I want to do?
    I have several DVD's of home movies that have been digitized.
    The files on the DVD list Video_rm and Video_ts. I see a place to import this DVD, but I am not able to select both folders to import at the same time.
    What do I need to do in order to edit these home movies on my computer?
    thanks,

    Here is how I do it, with no quality loss that I can see. (And I'm picky.)
    Use Cinematize 2, I use it with iMovie 06 (and a few times with iMovie 11) and iDVD 11. It has several modes of converting the data. One mode is called "lossless".
    http://www.amazon.com/Miraizon-10121201-Cinematize-2-Mac/dp/B0006AAO96/ref=cm_cr _pr_pb_t
    I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09 - 11, why?
    iMovie 09/11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
    
Cinematize 2 + iMovie 06 + iDVD 09/11 works great for me.
    Use Professional Quality in iDVD, good for 2 Hrs on a single layer DVD, 3 Hrs 45 Mins on a Dual layer DVD. I use DVD+Rs only.

  • Loss of video quality & shaking on DVD after using premiere pro and encore to process material?

    Hi guys,
    This is my first post out here on the adobe forums (so be gentle) and i am having a small issue which i hope someone can help with.
    I made a small video for a friend of mine of her and her partner over the last 10 years of them being together. There is only one small video piece at the start and the rest of the video is picture based with music in the background. Now, i cut, mixed and edited all this material they gave me in Premiere Pro. I also added menu breaks to be able to eventually create scenes in Encore.This worked fine and the quality was great! I then queued this up and added my time line into Encore and began working on the menu screen, scene buttons and using the orphanage to drag my content from. I also set up some poster frames and so far all looked great.
    Before building the DVD, i tested for errors and all came back clear. I changed it burning directly to a dvd disc, and instead built it as a DVD image, which created an ISO file on on my pc. From watching a few tutroials, ImgBurn was suggested as a great tool to burn the ISO onto DVD. So far, this was looking good. I then placed my new DVD into my Blu-Ray/DVD player and on screen came this pixelated image. I wasnt terrible, but it wasnt great either, not the sort of quality i was used to. I proceeded to start the movie and the picture was worse, the screen was shaking up and down constantly (only by about half a centimeter up and half down) and the quality was terrible.
    Is there anyway to fix this?
    (Happy to run through all my settings with someone on the phone or online. Happy to call overseas in need be, as i am in Australia)
    Thanks guys
    Rein

    erm... ok, you might have to go back a page or two... cause i am not so familiar with all the terms and lingo....lol
    Where would i find this field dominance?
    I did initially export it as a bluray, but then had to change it to dvd since i dont have a bluray burner. They dont give you any other options in encore besides DVD, Bluray or flash...

  • Common presets folder for PPro and AME?

    This has been driving me a little bonkers: when you create an encoding preset in the PPro export module (before AME launches), that preset is not available as an applicable preset from the AME interface. The opposite is also true: design a preset in AME, and it doesn't show up in the PPro export module.
    I'm aware that you can import one program's encoding presets into another (.EPR files), but this seems a bit clunky. Is anyone aware of a way to use a common folder to share presets between these two apps? Or am I doomed to a lifetime of aimless preset importing (dramatic soap opera music sweep added for effect)?

    Craig,
    "PPro export module" is a "for lack of a better term" description of what you see when you execute File > Export > Media from the PPro interface. It's what launches before the sequence is sent to AME for encoding, and where you set up your encodes parameters or apply a preset. It's these presets that are confounding me, in that ones I create in this interface are not directly available in the AME interface. Seems a little silly, since both modules/interfaces/whatever create preset files with an .EPR extension that can be imported into the other, but are otherwise not directly accessible. I create dozens of different export presets, so for housekeeping purposes and preservation of sanity purposes, it would be nice/awesome/logical to have a common repository for these shared presets. Hardly anything to get all in a bunch about, but it's one of those enhancements that would make life a little easier.
    That all said, I think I might have found the solution, but I didn't discover it until late on Friday, so I'm waiting until tomorrow to fully kick its tires. I'll post back if it works, as I suspect a limited subset of other users might find this helpful, as well.

  • Issue with CDC and Replication enabled

    Hello,
    We have this strange issue with CDC and replication. Let me explain
    1. We have a database on write server and we replicate some tables to the read server. There are 15 tables that we replication and 8 of them have computed columns that are persisted.
    2. We also have CDC enabled on the same database where we have transactional replication enabled. I know that both CDC and replication uses replication log reader. Some how, all the time we see the log_reuse_wait says replication
    3. If I add around 100-200 MB into these tables, with these persisted columns, it will be around 500 MB of data. But the replication is queuing up 10-15 GB of data.
    4. I checked CDC tables, and the updates are in cdc tables. Also, I don't see CDC capture job. Is this because there is already replication enabled?
    What might be the issue that's causing the log to hold for a very long extended periods of time? We don't see any issue with log reader and CDC.

    2. Log_reuse_wait will show replication status both for CDC and replication.
    4. Yes as you are using transaction replication, Log Reader Agent is created for the database and the capture job won’t exist.
    When the Log Reader Agent is used for both change data capture and transactional replication, replicated changes are first written to the distribution database.
    Then, captured changes are written to the change tables. Both operations are committed together. If there is any latency in writing to the distribution database, there will be a corresponding latency before changes appear in the change tables.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645938.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    As you said CDC updates are in cdc table I don’t see any issue.
    You could run DBCC OPENTRAN to see the old active transaction? It will give you more info.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

    I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

    iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process.  25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
    To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
    Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

  • HT1583 I'm trying to burn a Magic DVD in iDVD and I get a message stating "not enough free disc space for encoding the remaining assets. How do I resolve this?

    I'm trying to burn a Magic DVD in iDVD and I keep getting a message stating that there is not enough free disc space for encoding the remaining assets. How do I resolve this?

    It means your hard drive is too full to accomodate the project and its many swap files etc.
    You need to move some files (not applications) to your external hard drive, and keep at least 25-30GB free.

  • What setting in Toast for creating a DVD-R master for replication?

    I just Downloaded the new Toast 7 Titanium.
    What setting should I use to burn a DVD-R to send in for replication?
    Someone else said DVD-ROM UDF
    There is also a "Make Video DVD from VIDEO_TS folder"
    Which one?

    Sorry peeps! haven't looked here for awhile... (been really really busy...)
    Don't use either of those options unless you know what you're doing and you know what dvdsp is doing!
    If the dvd-r is for replication then you should check region 7 to make the disc region all. It used to be checked by default but is not any longer...! Then when you format set the Output Device to Hard Drive and the Output Format to .img
    Now in Toast you select Copy>Image File. Burn two copies at as slow a speed as possible. It's worth knowing, some say that writing at rated speeds is best but from the many many times I've seen recordable media issues it seems that writing slower solves the problem more than the other way around!
    Doing that will mean that your disc remains Region All, unlike if you use a Build to the Hard Drive and burn with Toast. You can control the burn speed & you don't have to worry about removing the .LAY, .layout files etc.
    Some versions of Toast are helpful, version 6.0.7 or later has options which will remove any files that shouldn't be in the VIDEO_TS directory for you, makes sure an empty AUDIO_TS folder is included etc but that doesn't help you much if DVDSP doesn't let you control the region flags with Builds to the Hard Drive. Using an .img solves all that.
    If you use the Data>Advanced>DVD-ROM (UDF) option you should use DVDAfterEdit or MyDVDEdit to correct the regions settings. Then manually remove the .LAY, .layout, PAR folder etc that should not be in the VIDEO_TS folder.
    If you use the Video>Advanced>DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS folder you still need to correct the regions setting but Toast removes all the other 'stuff' for you and adds the (empty) AUDIO_TS folder.
    FWIW, when you Format & Burn direct to disc out of DVDSP it does as it's told. The .LAY, .layout etc files are removed (see the log) and the regions ALL setting is as you'd expect.

  • Hardware encoding for mpeg2 and h264

    Hi Folks,
    I'm looking to clear up the bottleneck of processing mpeg2s. I have a 2009 quadcore mac pro and it's not bad for speed, but I just finished a 36 hour video transfer to DVD for a client and the processing took 4.5 nights (I ran my files overnight while I worked on other projects during the day).
    So, I'm looking for a hardware solution mpeg2 encoding. I see GrassValley has the firecoder, but it was PC only? I'd like something similar to the Maxtrox CompressHD which exports right from within FCP. I think the CompressHD is what I'll get for h264 encoding although I'll admit to date, it's mostly been personal encoding of my own home movies for AppleTV and my Pentax DSLR and headcam which shoot HD. I know clients will want that service as well.
    Any suggestions for the mpeg2? I realize it maybe a dying breed (re: using DVDs), but most of my clients are older and prefer DVDs.
    Cheers,
    Keebler

    Thanks Shane. I figured as much, but wanted to double check in case I missed a setting list for either device.
    I shudder when I think of virtual clusters b/c, as mentioned, I can never get them to work right. Either that, or my set up isn't optimal (I'm over a giga-ethernet and have a 2009 MP and a 2006 MP (and a few other machines i 'could' use).
    The odd thing is that Bitvice, from Innobits, accesses all cores without any tweaking, set up (or begging It just works. I was just hoping for a solution.
    I will admit that I've yet to try a cluster since the latest compressor update, but I'll review the links I have again.
    Fingers crossed
    Thanks for taking the time to answer - I do appreciate it and I always value your input.
    Cheers,

  • DVD Burner keeps encoding and won't burn my file.

    Trying to burn a home made video onto a DVD and when I attempt to do it, it won't go any farther than encoding the video.  I have left it on for 2+ hours letting it encode and it won't get any higher than 60%.  I'm using Windows Movie Maker software and Windows DVD burning software.  There is no way it should be taking this long.  I am using a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7902.  Do I just need to change my DVD burning software or what?  Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.  

    I don't think so. I bought new disks yesterday to be sure and the result is the same. Also, when in the drives, none of the disks (old or new) make any kind of not-normal noise. Everything seems normal, except neither computer can burn. Weird!

  • Better encoding and professional replication

    2 questions for you pros out there. I create underwater videos in FCP for import into DVDSP (either 3 or 4)Original footage is miniDV. I export using compressor (60 min high quality encode). I burn with Toast. there is significant degredation in quality from the original source tapes to the finished DVD. Would a different encoder make a difference (I've tried the BITvice demo but couldn't see appreciable improvement) or is the problem with the original source material? The quality of home made burned DVDs doesn't compare with commercial DVD movies.
    2) If I want to have a large # of DVDs produced by an external replicator, what files do I need to provide them with? Or if I provided original source material as quicktime movies self contained, could they better encode them to produce a more professional looking end DVD?
    Thanks for your indulgence.
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    The quality of your MPEG streams as alot/everything to do with the quality of your source footage. MiniDV is a highly compressed codec & your compressing it even more into MPEG2 - Some might not be happy. I've been using BitVice with DV sources for several years and I think it does a great job for the money.
    Many commercial disc produced by the major studios use pristine sources that have been transfered to an HD format, run through a noise reduction system then encoded with dedicated encoding systems costing several thousands dollars. Then again, I've seen some "commercial" discs which look awful
    What were your encode settings in Compressor or Bitvice? Maybe a simple change in settings could help. Just remember though, since your source is DV, you won't get astounding results even with the best encoders.
