DVD freezes after a while (Encore DVD 2.0)

Hi,
after burning a project with menus and several chapters, I play the DVD on a DVD player(not a computer !), and the DVD is hanging after a few chapters.
My DVD burner itself seems to be ok. I tried with an other burner, and I've got the same problem. After 40/45 mn the DVD hangs with large pixels. Sometimes, the DVD goes on. Sometimes, it hangs and I cannot do anything.
I burned a lot of different DVD (Philips, TDK, Sony) with different speeds (4X, 8X, 16X), and I always get the problem.
That's my first project under Encore DVD. All other projects have been burned directly from Premiere Pro 2.0, without problem. I've exported the sequences from PPro 2.0 using the following (and common) parameters : MPEG2-DVD, CBR 6 Mbits, 720 x 576, PAL, Quality 5.0,
Is it a known bug of Encore ?
Does it sound to anybody ?
Many thanks for your help.

I am having a problem with the DVD's playing as well. They work on my computers, but others tell me they start for about 15 minutes and start to fail. Some computers can play them, some not. I am thinking that because I have large files that I do not chapter, there is a memory issue with the computers. Will chaptering when I author make the dvds load eaiser?

    I understand that it is a IRQ collision problem, and IRQPOLL does fix the problem (but as we know, renders the computer useless after a while), but I have yet to find a fix for this on the internet. I have searched for days and weeks without finding a solution. Any help would be much appreciated as this totaly screws my experience with Arch. I love the system, but no sound is no good.
    Also, I am wondering if disabling usb support will at least let me use sound with out any trouble.
    Again, my gratitude would be endless if someone can tell me more about the problem. Is it a known one?
    Regards Eirik

    Absolutely. A single 5400 disk when the minimum suggested is three 7200 disks. And for AVCHD the CPU is below bare minimum as well, maybe not even that.

  • Powerbook g4 freezing after restart while using install and restore cd

    i want to restore my powerbook to the original settings. i insert the install and restore cd that came with my computer and after i click the install mac os x icon, the computer prompts to restart. when the computer starts to restart, it freezes and won't read from the disc. it just continues to give the message you need to restart your computer.
    anyone have any suggestions or help in this matter.
    thanks,

    if PowerBook crashes like that when booted from original install CD, it is likely hardware problem.
    try removing extra RAM, pull out AirPort card, reset PRAM
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    and make sure CD is not scratched/dirty.
    if you have original CDs kit, there supposed to be hardware test CD included with it, boot from test CD, see what it says.

  • Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2) stacks and freezes after a while.

    I have problems with Illustrator CS3.
    Sometimes, when I am using it and go to select a layer, it .. stack/freeze whatever. I don't know why, but the cost to me is too much - specially if I haven't save my artwork for some time.. (you might understand how much annoying is this!).
    I also have noticed, that if I leave Illustrator open, and do others things for some minutes, then if I try to close it.. ..it just freezes without consuming any CPU power. The only way to close it, is via forcing close with task manager or log-off.
    Anyone with same problems?
    Anyone with any solutions?
    Any way to inform technical team about these issues? (I can't find where I officially should report this problems!)

  • Playing footage over network - slow down after a while

    Hi everybody, I have ProRes422 footage I work with stored on network. We bought a 12TB NAS and I found, that when I play the edited movie from timeline, it freezes after a while (2-5 minutes) - it seems to me there is some kind of network overload so that the data cannot be transferred fast enough to continue playback. I thought it is problem of the NAS, but I tried to read the footage from external HDD over network and the problem is the same. Would any of you have an idea how to fix this?
    Thanks

    For users like you who insist on ignoring the warnings and still want to buy cheap, I offer this alternative:
    Buy Local Attached Storage, RAID 5, for each work station, a gigabit Ethernet switch, and CAT6 Ethernet cabling.
    These days, you can buy 8TB of RAID 5 storage, including the RAID card, for less than $4,000US. The Ethernet6 switch is about $50US and the cabling is cheap.
    Buy twice the storage as you think you need, then make file copies via the gigabit Ethernet network of all files on the storage on each computer onto the storage on the other computer. Now, you are maintaining a continuous back up of all data, which is a bonus benefit.
    The real benefit, though, is speed. Modern RAID 5 storage systems achieve throughput in excess of 600 MB/sec, far more than 23 MB/sec.
    Your investment in new equipment will be far less than buying a SAN.

  • Integration of other Adobe products..Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD

    Prior to obtaining CS2 I have been working with the other video/audio Adobe tools; Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD.
    I fully expected to see integration of these products into the Bridge application after CS2 installation. I was disappointed, there does not appear to be any such integration. I do hope that this is in plan, and that I don't have to spend an "upgrade" fee to use integration that should have been there to begin with.
    Even if there is no further integration, it would be nice to be able to continue using the Bridge as my "file manager" in the event I have to transfer my CS2 activation to another computer; after all I still have 4 licensed Adobe products installed on the machine, even if there not, quote, CS2 applications.

    I can't use Bridge with my video products anymore. I have 3 systems in my personal development environment. I am now past the 30 day period before activation of CS2 is required on my video editing machine. Now I am no longer able to use Adobe Bridge with my other Adobe (video) products.
    Also, now I've noticed that the next level of video products is available, they now have Bridge integrated. As I anticipated in my first append, I cannot continue using Bridge with my Adobe video products unless I spend more money for an upgrade. If the intention is to have Bridge become an integral tool in the creative process, this policy is short sighted. It can't be that difficult to bring out an update for the CS2 level of bridge that would enable it to work with users that have AE 6.5 or PPro 1.5 installed.

  • Remote kicks out after a while of watching dvds with Front Row

    Hey there! Recently I have done a lot of dvd watching on Front Row, using the apple remote that came with my MacBook. The problem is, after a while of watching, my remote stops working. The dvd keeps playing and everything runs as if the remote was still working, but no matter what I press, nothing happens. To get it to work again, I have to close my MacBook, wait for it to fall asleep, wait for a little while, then open it again, and my dvd continues from where it left off and my remote is functioning again. However, the cycle then repeats after another period of time.
    This is really starting to bug me. Any ideas?

    This sounds similar to the problem I describe here. Does Front Row stop responding to the Keyboard (volume keys for instance) as well?

  • Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab.

    Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
    * this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

  • IPod music screen freezes after not using it for a while.

    If I exit the music screen (while a song is still playing) and then return after a while, the screen will be stuck where I left it. It will show the same song even if another one has started and I will have to wait for a few seconds before it finally shows the new one. If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, i would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If problem persists the try a restore from backup
    - If it still comes back try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Quicktime video freezes/pauses/skips while audio continues at normal rate.

    So here's my problem. I used a Canon Vixia to record some AVCHD footage of my band playing at a gig. I imported it into Final Cut Pro 7 using Log & Transfer. I edited the footage just fine (very simple cuts to remove unnecessary footage and add some title overlays).
    However, upon being exported, whenever I opened the .mov in Quicktime, the video would pause, freeze, or skip while the audio continued. Then the video would move extremely quickly to catch up to the audio. It has done this exported as ProRes 422 (LT), Apple Intermediate Codec, and H.264 (I used Compressor to get it into H.264). The only program to play without any skipping/speeding up was VLC, and there was some heavy pixelization/grey screens going on.
    Upon a whim, I uploaded one of the clips to Facebook. It still played the skips for me, but I had friends tell me that it played perfectly for them. I used a different computer, and sure enough, not a skip in sight. Going back to my computer, it still played the skips/speed-ups. They are present in Facebook, YouTube, Quicktime (both 7 and X), MPEG Streamclip, and during preview by pressing spacebar with the file selected.
    I'm running this on a 15" Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model) with Snow Leopard (10.6.8), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, and 4 GB of RAM.

    Previous discussions and ideas...
    To
    Burn Error Proof DVDs (Well, close to error proof!)
    Use the SLOWEST possible burn option your burner will allow in Encore, since it is much better to take a bit more time burning the disc than it is to burn "fast" and have a disc that won't play
    Set the VIDEO portion of the transcoding options to a Maximum of 7,000 so your burned disc will have a better chance at playing in desktop players (which support burned discs, if at all, only as an "after thought" of the DVD specification)
    Use AC3 or PCM audio transcode settings for best player compatibility (some discussion of MPEG audio not being supported by all players, especially for NTSC discs)
    Buy and use Taiyo Yuden (or Verbatim?) brand blank discs

    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
