DVD menu speeding for no reason?!

Hi, I have a dvd project going in DVD studio and I have a 30 second menu I designed in Motion, all is fine but when I apply my custom made 30 second music aiff I exported from Soundtrack Pro to the menu it speeds up the menu to 4 seconds, the music stops after 4 seconds to and repeats, it looks stupid!
Why is this, it only happens when I apply the music aiff to the menu.
Cheers for any help

  • Cooling Fan ran full speed for no reason

    iMac G5 17in 1 meg ram less than year old. Was sitting there in sleep mode and fan started running full speed for no reason. Computer screen black and would not wake up with keystroke. Shut down computer via rear panel switch and restart, all fine now. Do not understand why this happened but suspect it is actually a software problem, see below. Anyone have an idea so can understand what happened?
    My iMac has the combo drive, not superdrive. I use an external 8x DVD burner for backups and iMovie. Yesterday I burned a iMovie (short) just fine. Then decided to back up my some of my Movie files along with iPhoto and iTunes media files. I tried three times but the burner did not work as usual. The first copy failed to verify and when I put it in the iMac slot, dumb I know, it did not show on the desktop. I restarted the computer to eject the disk, worked ok. The second copy did not work either, but did not put it in the iMac. The third copy burned but took a few hours to get 39% verified. I tried to stop the process with force quit, but it would not quit. Finally shut down the iMac via rear panel power button as a last resort as nothing on the desktop would respond to a mouse click. Computer restarted ok and worked fine for several hours until it went to sleep as I did last night.
    I know using the power button is a last resort and possibly there is a keystroke that can force a proper shutdown. Also suspect the DVD external drive is balmy now, BenQ. But was amazed that the iMac still seemingly had some bug up its operating system this morning causing it to freeze and the fan to run full speed.
    Again, any ideas...now be nice....I have tender ears
    btw have three year warranty and just love the Mac, am going to sell my Dell laptop and get a PowerBook real soon.

    Well the problem is fixed. I did call Apple Support and they ran me through the hardware utility. The problem I reported was that the system took forever to startup and that once the fan ran at full speed for no reason. I was not aware of the slow boot when I wrote this question so did not refer to it. But, after the DVD debacle my iMac would hang on the black screen just after the chime for about a minute or longer. The system worked fine once booted. This long boot came from both restart and a cold start. Think it happened once when I was trying to wake it from sleep yesterday, that is when I shut off the 'puter with the poer button. Anyway, the disk utility showed no problems
    The Apple Careperson was very nice and stayed with me until the issue was resolved. It turnes out that unplugging my USB hub cured the slow bootup problem, and probably the fan.
    So I am guessing that something in the external DVD hardware went and damaged the USB hub. It would be too odd for two devices to fail, on their own, at the same time.
    The good news is that I just found a nice LaCie external DVD with firewire 400 support, so guess what I am buying.
    As for the USB hub, well without the external DVD I don't need it right now so will wait to replace it.
    Thanks for your help and I hope this may help someone else down the line.

  • Clip plays at double speed for no reason

    When I am in FCP 5.0 I play a clip and it plays at double speed for no reason (captured dv25 from dvd via decklink extreme capture card). This happens when I click on play in the source or keyboard shortcut. I'm certain that I am not putting in to this mode by clicking or keying twice. Then suddenly I will close and open the clip and play motion is normal. This occurs on tutorial clips in FCP not just ones I have captured. I have trashed FCP preferences but this still happens. Any ideas?.....
    Thanks in advance.

    Haven't heard of this before, so unless someone else has a ready solution, I'd say you're going to need to troubleshoot. Start by creating a new user account, check the box to allow it to administer, then log into the new account and see if the problem follows. Please report back.

  • Mac Pro, Fans fire up full speed for no reason - randomly!

    So, here is another fan issue with the Mac Pro, and I am at a loss. Perhaps someone can help me with this one. I have a Mac Pro I bought in mid '07, dual 2.66 GHz. I have 2 7300GT video cards, which don't have fans of their own to be making the noise...
    The computer, when left doing nothing will ramp up full speed for God knows what reason. There is usually almost nothing open for applications, and no major processes running. Menu Meters shows the processor load to be minimal, not a heavy load that would cause heat-issues from processors working hard.
    There is really no way to get the fans to slow back down either. The machine is still fully functional, I can open, close or work on software, so nothing is "frozen". I have quit all applications to no avail. The machine will not go to sleep when this occurs, and half the time will not power off using the shut down menu selection either; requiring a forced shut down. Upon reboot, it is fine... (until it decides once again to take off).
    This is not the fans roaring when waking from sleep issue, I have had that one as well (bad ram).
    Thoughts?

    Last night, after I shut down, my fans slowly ramped up into high gear. They went to full rotation, and I let it whirr for four or five minutes, thinking it would shut itself off. It never did, so I just pulled the plug on the CPU. I plugged it back in five seconds later, and it stayed shut down after that.
    It's been working more or less flawlessly other than this... most stable Mac I've ever had.

  • DVD writing speed for home DVD player

    I was just wondering what is the best speed to burn movies for a home DVD player (2x, 8x or 16x). I have heard that you can have problems with a DVD player reading the disk if you burn at too high of a speed. I have 3 DVD players at home with the oldest being 2 years old.

    I don't know about "best" speed. I do know that slower is better, your chances for a compatibility issue increase with the speed you burn. I've had good luck with 8x burns. Any higher than that has been iffy for me.

  • Drop in speed for no reason!

    Hi, Im new to the forums go easy on me lol,
    Having a problems with infinity at the moment with the speed of the internet. Ive lost just over 30meg download speed from around 52 to 20 and its been like this for about 4 days now. i have tried resetting hub and open reach modem and it does nothing. Ive been intouch with bt which said they will look into it registered a fault but have not been back intouch. we.ve had no power cuts or anything like that so i cant understand why it would do this its been pretty good up until now. Could someone help me with this as i dont want to get back on the phone for them to tell me the same thing as they do everytime i ring them.
    Many Thanks
    Andy

    Welcome to the forum.
    Do not keep re-setting the modem, as it is seen by the Dynamic Line Management (DLM) system as a drop in connection.  This means it thinks the line is not stable, and so drops your speed.
    You can reset the hub (the black one) every day, but please don't re-set the white modem.
    Hopefully, your speed will then start to increase, but it could take a few weeks.
    Good luck!

  • T420: CPU periodically switches to lowest speed for no reason

    Hi there,
    I noticed a strange thing to my T420 - when SpeedStep is enabled CPU switches to lowest speed periodically which immediately affects performance. It switches to lowest speed even when CPU is at 100%. Then after few minutes it comes back to normal.
    Anyone knows what why this could be?
    Here is a screenshot of resource monitor:
    Thanks,
    Igor.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It maybe throttling due to heat. Typically, when the CPU reaches 85 degrees Celsius, it will start to turn off Turbo Boost or go to its lowest frequency.
    Use a monitoring software like real temp and follow the settings below. The log text file is located on the same folder as the real temp program. Stress the CPU and see what temperature does the frequency drop.

  • I would like to create chapters within my footage for Scene selection on the DVD menu

    I have edited footage using FCPX and exported it to allow me to use it in IDVD. I now would like to set chapter markers so that the DVD menues allow for scene selection. I believe that I may have to do this in FCPX before exporting it
    Can you tell me how to do it.
    Thank you

    This is one of the most embarrassing omissions in FCP X. There is no proper facility to add chapter markers and export them with your movie.
    The way I get around it is to make each chapter a separate project in its own right. I then export each of the chapters and when I bring them into my DVD Authoring application, it's a synch to add the chapter markers (between each file on the timeline) with precision.
    As you've already created your project (presumably in one hit) create a new project for each chapter then copy and paste the relevant clips into each 'chapter' project, then export.
    Alternatively, you can add chapter markers from within the preview window in Compressor if you have it - but it's quite fiddley and not very precise.

  • Ripping DVD's ready for iPod - Help Needed!!

    Hi All
    I have been using Handbrake to rip my DVD's and for some reason it has stopped working now..
    It goes through the process of encoding the files, all the settings are correct and I have noted the saved directory (even changed it a couple of times), and when it completes 100% there is no file to be found anywhere......
    I have posted a note on the handbrake forum but got no reply yet.
    Does anybody know what the problem may be?
    Also, does anybody know of an application that will rip DVD's so that they are iPod ready, or maybe into MPG/MPEG/AVi format.
    Many thanks
    Garry

    It goes through the process of encoding the files, all the settings are correct and I have noted the saved directory (even changed it a couple of times), and when it completes 100% there is no file to be found anywhere.
    How long do you wait? Once conversion has completed, the YourFileName.temp file must be rewritten to your desitination location. This can take some seconds, depending on the size of your movie. While we're at it, is the temporary file even being created when conversion begins?
    Also, does anybody know of an application that will rip DVD's so that they are iPod ready, or maybe into MPG/MPEG/AVi format.
    Ripping/extraction of DVDs can be done by a number of Mac compatible appliations. MacTheRipper (free) is probably one the most popular at the moment. Stripping and/or conversion, however, still requires an ancillary application like MPEG2 Works 4 Advanced ($$) or MPEG StreamClip (free). However, since your were less than specific as to type (stream file, elementary streams, VCD compatible, SVCD compatible, DVD compatible, etc.) of target file desired, I can only generalize. Conversion basically depends on the workflow you utilize. Both applications have some "intrinsic" capabilities but, for the most part, rely on QT, QT Tools, and/or QT components you have installed and available. In addition, both application allow output to what is basically the QT Pro "Movie to QuickTime" export option. This simply means that in addition to the specific formats you mentioned, you also have full access to all of the same target QT formats you could normally access directly from your QT Pro application. (I.e., you can go directly from a VOB file or file segment to any available QT compatible compression format based on QT Pro and installed QT Pro components.)
    REMINDER: These alternative compression formats are not iPod compatible.
    ADDED: Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($$) will convert ripped/extracted DVD directly to iPod compatible formats.

  • What brand DVD+R do you recomend and what speed for PE11?

    I do not know why some brands like Memorex work with my PE11 and others like Sony do not.  I do not know what speed 8X the program can handle?  What are the pros and cons of using different speeds on results?
    Thanks
    Rich

    Rich
    Thanks for the follow up.
    As for
    What kind of disc can I record on today and then add to it tomorrow with some additional footage?
    You cannot do that with any burn to in Premiere Elements (any version).
    In Premiere Elements....
    1. The DVD-R allows for one burn to on the disc all at one time.
    2. The DVD-RW will allow you to use the disc again after a Premiere Elements burn to to it, but it will overwrite (erase) what was burned
    to the disc in the prior session. No add on.
    If you are in the Elements Organizer 11 and using one of its burn to data disc opportunities (See File Menu/"Copy/Move to Removalble Disc"), you could explore the multisession possibility by enabling the preference for multisession. (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Files and the option for "Enable Multisession Burning to CD/DVD.)
    I would suggest that you look into the Premiere Elements Project Archiver feature where the project file (project.prel) is saved with its source media. This might be a consideration for add on chances.

    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Archiving Projects With Disc Menus
    A Google search reveals at least one disc manufacturer marketing a "Archival Grade Gold DVD-R" expected to last 100 years.
    But, I wonder what the technology would be like in 100 years and if a player will still exist to play back DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Can I install the online version rather than using my dvd? it successfully installed (up to a point) that way, it just wont accept my serial number for some reason. my dvd isnt working properly.

    If it gets far enough to reject your serial number, it won't help to download it. It must have installed ok.
    What is the message you get (DON'T tell us the serial number!!)?
    Does it mention a "qualifying product" by any chance?

  • What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    A lot of people have a Mac where the superdrive has been taken out to be replaced with a harddisk. Try to find a friend who has done that, give him a beer and take the superdrive, then buy a superdrive container from OWC or another for  afew dollars and put it in there. This slimdrive container has a USB connector. There you go.

  • Premiere Elements 9 - unable to select a "poster frame" for DVD Menu - Scene Selection

    I've tried a number of different DVD menu themes and the problem is the same for all.  The Scene Selections don't seem to provide any way to include a graphic for the poster frame.  Have been able to provide a menu background with no problem.  Interestingly, the poster frame section of the menu edit fields appears to be somewhat truncated (the spot where you would expect the "drag media here" shows only the bottom portion of a box with no wording and the input is truncated at 00;00;0 with the fifth zero partially cut off.
    Any one else seen this?  I know I've provided graphics for the scene buttons in the past but cannot seem to get past this situation this time.
    Thanks

    In Adobe Encore (the authoring program, included with PrPro), one can set the Poster Frame for non-Motion Thumbnails.
    For showing a different Clip, in Motion Thumbnails, one must create Menus, that have a Video background, that just looks like it has Motion Thumbnails - they are actually PiP in the Video background.
    I do not know about the often touted Sony DVD Architect, regarding setting Poster Frames.
    PrE's authoring control is a bit limited, and is designed to get the "average" Project authored, with few navigational bells and whistles.
    Good luck,
