Encoding MPEG-s 2 hadrware/software solution?

Hi guys, and gals.
We've been using FCP to create DVD's for a while now, however we've found that going from timeline to DVD is FAR too slow. Our source footage comes from XDCam HD and imports at 1080i/50 and export to standard DVD settings.
We're aware of the known problem about Compressor not using all 8 cores of the Mac Pro. Also we're aware of the "solution" with regards creating a reference file, however, we have another problem were reference files are taking around 20mins to create instead of the usual near instantanious results.
What we'd like to know is:
1) Which would be better? A hardware encoding solution or software?
2) Which would be the best (in terms of speeding up the whole process) out of the software solutions?
3) any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Nick, i should have been clearer.
We are currently using fcp and then compressor/dvd studio pro.
And had already run through the Compressor hints you posted.
What we were hoping for is some advice on which hardware encoding system others are using or which software they would recommend.
Thanks for taking the time to post though.

  • Enable/disable second monitor Mavericks - only software solution.

    I am looking for a way to disable a second monitor (plugged into the Display Port of a 2011 Mac mini) without unplugging it. Does anyone know of a software solution?
    When I am working I like that second monitor for desktop space, but other times (watching Netflix for example) the second monitor (in my case TV Sony Bravia) taxes the video card to much and degrades video playback performance. It would be great to have a software switch to ignore the second monitor. Right now, the only way I have found to do this is to unplug the display port cable from TV.
    SwitchResX doesn’t recognize any of monitor or TV in Mavericks, so the app is useless. It would be fantastic if anyone know software solution (I really would like to have plugged second monitor all the time).
    Thanx

    I've been using SwitchResX for quite a while, sometimes buggy but very useful: http://www.madrau.com

  • KM Switch (Video not needed) or software solution

    *Short version* - I need a USB switch that will allow me to share just my keyboard and mouse with my 3 PCs. Anyone know of one that works good and has that "sniffing" feature as to reduce any USB delay. I tried a 4 port Belkin USB switch, but it wasn't good. I want a KM only hardware or software solution that is convenient and supports my mouse's back button and does not have scrolling issues.
    Thanks for any input...
    *More details* - I have a monitor on my mac and a monitor on my xp machine. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a 4 port, DVI, USB KVM switch. I already have a 4 port PS/2 KVM switch and I am using it for my windows PCs. I am only using the video from it to switch between the windows PCs. I just want to be able to use my Mac keyboard and mouse (logitech) on all my PCs. I first tried using RDP, but I was not able to use the back button and had some scrolling issues that were unacceptable. Next I decided I would buy a Belkin 4 port USB switch. I just returned it because besides being a bad solution, the mouse locked up continuously. I then tried using KMremoteControl, but I am having trouble getting the license to activate (I emailed the company). From what I understand it is a free program, but they still sell it? Not sure what thats all about, but that also does not allow the back function on my mouse. Basically the best thing is for me to unplug the keyboard and plug it into each computer as I use it. Does anyone know of a good switch, so I don't have to do that? One that is compatible with windows of coarse and has a simple method of switching. The Mac usb extension cable was also incompatible with the Belking switch. Not sure why apple makes such a short cable in the first place.
    For anyone who has read this, thank you, I appreciate it.

    I have figured out why KMremote was not activating. I installed wireshark to sniff the network and I noticed some DNS issues during the activation process. For some reason it didnt like using my Linksys router as a DNS forwarder. I added the direct comcast DNS entries and it now works. I still dont have the back button on my mouse, but this is the best solution.
    Thanks and hopefully this can help someone else.

  • Cannot sign with my MobileMe ID in ICloud (PC software), solution?

    cannot sign with my MobileMe ID in ICloud (PC software), solution?

    Sorry for not explaining properly.
    I use two Apple IDs, one to use Apple store and another MobileMe to access email and iDisk.
    When I upgrade to IOS 5, tried to keep the same configuration, which according to Apple support is possible.
    I have do migrated from MobileMe to icloud, and have use icloud constantly in browser.
    Initially, I was surprised that despite having installed ICloudControlPanel could not log it, but as I was using icloud with browser, was satisfactory.
    Yesterday, I try logon with my Apple ID (used in Store) in  ICloudControlPanel, and to my surprise I can sign and all interface of software was avaliable. So I tried to log with MobileMe account in ICloudControlPanel, and I have same problem, dont sign.
    Thanks for any help, and sorry for the mistakes in English.

  • Encore and pre-encoded mpeg files

    Dear Forum,
    I recently captured a TV program using a hardware encoder which created an mpeg file. I edited the commercials out using an mpeg editor called VideoReDo. When I loaded it into Encore to create a DVD from the file, Encore sees the file as an mpeg but it wants to re-encode said file. I don't want to loose quality and it defeats the purpose of having the mpeg if Encore re-encodes. Any ideas to avoid the time and potential loss of quality when using pre-encoded mpeg files in Encore?

  • Full software solution, n911g drivers

    My printer worked until a week ago. I cannot get it to work again. The HP help software tells me that I don't have the full software solution. I cannot find the disc that came with this printer. I did load the disc that came the same type of printer in my home. Is each printer's disk unique? Where can I get the "full software solution for this product"? I have downloaded the all officejet pro 8600 plus N911g software including the full drivers and updates. I have also installed the assistant software.
    Where can I obtain the "full software solution for this product"?

    Hello @helphpbob,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer stopped printing about a week ago from your Windows Vista computer and since than you have had issues with reinstalling the printer. I would like to assist you with this today. Now the HP Installer Disks are unique only to the series of printer. Therefore, if you use another HP Officejet 8600 printer you can use the disk from that printer to reinstall your HP Officejet 8600 printer. With that being said, you can also download the Full Feature Software and Drivers from the HP website, which I will assist you with. Can I please have you run through the steps below to install the latest drivers and fix your printing issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    It's important to have a nice clean slate to work with when resolving software and driver issues. Therefore, I am going to have you start troubleshooting by removing every trace of the HP Officejet from your computer.
    If using a USB Cable connection between your printer and your computer, please disconnect that cable now.
    Click on your Start menu
    Select All Programs
    Select the HP folder
    Select your HP Officejet
    Select Uninstall
    Follow any onscreen steps to complete the uninstall of your printer. Once the uninstall is complete please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after your click on it type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard. The Temp folder will now open.
    In the Temp folder select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in the Temp folder will highlight
    Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will  be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a file in the Temp folder still be used than you wil automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
    Once the Temp folder is emptied, close the folder.
    Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
    Step 3: Reinstall Printer:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
    Allow the Download to Run
    Follow the onscreen steps to reinstall your printer
    If using the USB Cable connection, do not plug in the USB Cable until the installation prompts you to.
    Once the installation has completed, please test your printer to verify if your issue is resolved.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!
    X-23
    I work on behalf of HP
    Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

  • DVD encoding.. what is the best software solution?

    HI,
    Been trying to figure out the best/optimal way to create high-quality DVDs from my movies. The original source movies are HD-res (1280x720) encoded from After Effects using the H264 codec. What software is recommended to create the best possible DVD? I've tried Toast, Visual Hub and iDVD sofar. Is there anything better out there to give me better results? Appreciate the info.
    thanks;
    John

    The original source movies are HD-res (1280x720) encoded from After Effects using the H264 codec.
    First question: What is your source codec? You've listed the resolution of the source video, but not the codec.
    Second question: Why are you encoding to h.264 if the final delivery is for DVD-Video? Seems like you'd be compressing twice ... which is never good for quality.

  • C#: Building a SOFTWARE SOLUTION from scratch to finish

    Hello good people of MSDN. I have a VERY SIMPLE REQUEST... (Here goes)
    I'm trying to build an Application (from scratch, custom specs) that allows the user to manage, organize and keep track of books that are available in a library. This system is to be made use of in environments such as personal library, public library, any
    situation that requires/involves the constant movement of BOOKS.
    Now, I have presented a solution to the client which works OKAY but there has been a SUDDEN CHANGE of heart, now the client wants the solution to be implemented quite differently. The solution that I BUILT is basically an ASP.NET C# Application that runs LOCALLY
    so it opens up in the browser (IIS installed and all that) for the user to make use of the Application. Now when I want to have the entire Application to FUNCTION on another system I simply copy the Database, the Application folder (that has all the files
    in it) place it in the IIS Directory... ... (So as not to waste your PRECIOUS TIME). To access the Application we simply open up the BROWSER enter localhost/the Application's URL...
    The client, first of all does NOT want the BROWSER in the mix of things (ANYMORE !!!); secondly, does not want to have to go through all of this process of COPYING FILES INTO LOCATIONS, IIS etc etc in order to get the solution to WORK/OPERATE on another/several
    other computers. The client wants to be able to have an EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION file that when clicked installs a SOFTWARE APPLICATION that opens up in its own WINDOW ENVIRONMENT without the help/assistance of the BROWSER !
    This is my PREDICAMENT there's NO TIME... I need to AT LEAST present a working prototype in less than 24hrs!
    So my questions are:
    1.) Is there anyway for me to convert my ASP.NET C# Web Application into an installable client software without losing any of the components that make it work?
    2.) If I have to build the ENTIRE Application into a WinForms PROJECT (I'm using VS 2010) can I STILL MAKE USE of the DATABASE I used for the ASP.NET C# Application?
    3.) I don't want to have to DUMP my SQL SERVER DATABASE (as it is) to start creating a DB using something else like MS Access. Do I have a choice?
    I have included with this post a Notepad doc that details the sketch of what I am HOPING to ACHIEVE. I would Appreciate it if anyone can (KINDLY) take it up and create according to the SPECIFICATIONS included in the doc. I have tried to be very DETAILED and
    DESCRIPTIVE in the doc to make it easy for  the DEVELOPER to FOLLOW THROUGH. Can it be done?
    (If ANYONE can take it up and provide the solution it would be a good thing because it would ALWAYS be available to other DEVELOPERS who can read through the CODE and become better C# PROGRAMMERS and better at using Visual Studio. As this is a VERY REAL
    LIFE SCENARIO coders can LEARN from the SITUATION).
    At the end of the whole CODING PROCESS I intend to BUILD the Source to become a SINGLE EXECUTABLE FILE that will INSTALL the Application on the clients system. If anyone can PROFFER (and MAYBE RENDER) a SOLUTION that's ACCURATE, SPEEDY, RELIABLE to me, I would
    be grateful!
    The Software is to be used in a school. Students are only going to REQUEST for books, RETURN the books that they collected. They are NOT BUYING books!
    Working/Functional Prototype
    (The PROTOTYPE I hope to present REALLY SOON should be CAPABLE of the FOLLOWING)
    1. Navigate/Move through the different Forms/GUI Screens when the appropriate buttons are clicked
    2. Interact with the DB (to some extent) and carry out (for now)TRANSACTIONS like adding books, viewing list of books, delete book, Register Student (other DB operations can be included much later)
    3. When the Application is LAUNCHED a Splash Screen is displayed introducing the Application (while the Application is loading), then when it's done Loading, the Application opens to present the Start Screen
    4. An EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION FILE that can be used to conveniently INSTALL the Application on multiple systems... Just in-case it is to be installed on a computer system that's not Windows OS, I'd like for it to carter to dependencies appropriately.
    PLEASE ANYONE that chooses to ASSIST (based on the SPECIFICATIONS) should KINDLY include the DETAILS of how the result was ACHIEVED so at least I can read through and understand the Application and conveniently make suitable/any necessary modifications (should
    the CLIENT require that I do so). eg Step by step instructions on how to get the whole SOURCE CODE into INSTALLATION FILE, Setting up the Splash Screen, how the DB is made to connect to the front end GUI (eg ODBC, OLE DB that type of stuff)... etc etc
    I'm trying to keep the prototype VERY SIMPLE so I can ACHIEVE something TANGIBLE in this short space of time then LATER any SOPHISTICATION can be included.
    PS: I have done MY VERY BEST to plan out the Application Logic. So it should be easy to just READ over the Notepad docs I'm including here... As a pointer (should YOU decide to ASSIST) it would be FASTER to START with the WinForms, then MOVE to CREATING
    the DB, afterwards LINK THEM...
    Thank YOU ALL.

    There are just gonna be 5 GUI Components (FOR NOW). The ENTIRE APPLICATION WINDOWS should be in the range 700px by 700px (width by height).
    Forms/GUI Instances
    1. Start/Welcome Screen
    2. List of books
    3. Administration
    4. Relase Notes
    5. Splash screen
    Start/Welcome Screen
    When the Software Application is launched and the Software is done loading this is the FIRST screen that the user sees. This Screen presents the users with options to carry out certain actions. Also it presents some brief/summary information to the user in
    a presentable manner.
    Options include: Administration, View list of books, Relase Notes
    Brief/Summary of information include: Total no of books in store, Total no of new books added
    List of books Screen
    When the user clicks on this action link from any where in the Software Application this page comes up. It displays a complete list of the books that are available in the store and also relevant info about the books. It reads DIRECTLY from the Books table inside
    the Database and presents the info in a tabular format. It also provides the user with certain options to carry out some actions.
    Options include: Request book (button beside every book item)
    Administration Screen
    The Administration Screen is segmented into several Areas that allow the operator to carry out individual/independent tasks. On this Screen the operator of the system has options to carry out many vital tasks as regards the Application. Rather than having to
    present many different Screens, all the control/Administrative tasks of this Aplication are included here on this ONE Screen.
    Options/Segments include: Add book(s), Delete book(s), View list of books, View books requests, View books returned, View all Students, Request for book(s), Register Student, Return books
    (All of these Options can be done/carried out on this one screen without having to bring many different screens to do the different tasks)
    >>Add book(s) Area
    This area FEEDS info DIRECTLY INTO the Books DB. To accept Data input into the Application this has following text boxes: Book Title, Author, Edition, ISBN, Category Name
    >>Delete book(s) Area
    Presents the options for deleting a book. It also relates DIRECTLY with the Books table in the DB. It presents the list of books as they are available in the Books DB and places a DELETE action button for EVERY book so that when this button is clicked it removes
    the book from the Books DB.
    >>View list of books
    This will simply bring up the list of books Screen since already we have a screen for this.
    >>View books requests
    This reads DIRECTLY from the UsersRequest table and just presents the info to the user in a tabular form.
    >>View books returned
    This reads DIRECTLY from the BooksReturned table and just presents the info to the user in a tabular form.
    >>View all Students
    Lists out all the students that are registered in the Application System. It READS DIRECTLY from the Students table. This area is used by the Admin/Operator of the Application to view a List of all the Students that have had transactions with the Application.
    >>Request for book(s) Area
    This area relates DIRECTLY with the UsersRequest table in the DB. It FEEDS in Data into the UsersRequest table. This area allows the admin to collect info of the student that's requesting for the book. It provides texboxes such as: First Name, Middle Name,
    Surname, RegNo, BookTitle
    >>Register Student Area
    This area relates DIRECTLY with the Students table in the DB. It FEEDS in Data into the Students table. This are allows the admin to input info of students that are new to the system.
    In other for the Admin to keep track of NEW students who are coming in to request for books this area is very important. It allows the Admin to register a new student so that the student can now request for books.
    There are text input fields on this Screen that allow the Admin to collect certain infomation about the student and feed it into the Students table of the DB. Textboxes inculde: First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, RegNo
    >>Return books Area
    This area relates DIRECTLY with the BooksReturned table. It FEEDS Data into the BooksReturned table. Textboxes include: Book Title, Author, ISBN, First Name of student, Last Name of student

    Hello,
    Welcome to MSDN forum.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because your issue is about ASP.NET web application development, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:
    http://forums.asp.net/
     for better solution and support.
    Best regards,
    We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

  • Way to find out settings for an encoded mpeg file

    Not sure if this is possible, but is there a way for compressor to tell me what the quality settings were for an mpeg file I already encoded? I just want to know what the avg and max bit rates were for the file.

    If you changed the settings of a preset and didn't save them, then I don't think you can. You can see what the data rate of the file is by looking at it in quicktime (CMD+i), but Compressor will only tell you what preset you used to encode your file (in the History window).
    If you saved the settings, you can look in the preset.

  • Media Encoder will not Encode MPEG but creates XMP file

    When I place an MPEG video file in my adobe media createor folder it automatically creates the same file name with an XMP extension with approx 4kb of data. However it will not encode the file and it will not show up in the Queue. Anyone know why?
    Trying to convert to FLV - Web 512x288
    Also is there a way to automatically remove the item from the queue once it has encoded. Our media encoder queue gets full of converted videos and then crashes.

    When i try to add the file manually it says error decompressing. Is this just a corrupt file? Seems to be happening a lot.

  • Additional software Solution Centre, IRIS etc

    I am experiencing considerable difficulty installing any of the software suppllied with the C7280 driver.
    The driver seems to install OK and works but ....
    Installation runs until the the 'configuring programs' actions (last item) which goes on for a long time then fails.
    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling numerous times. I have tried uninstalling the individual software items and then running the driver installer and installing the software individually. All say installed OK but IRIS cannot be found, solution centre tells me 'device installation is not complete'.
    I have run Print and Scan doctor that tells me no problem with the 'Printer' but the Scanner reports A problem was found with the device registration.
    I needed to reinstall the printer etc as some how the printer was reporting it was connected and failed to print but the problem was that the printer was using a different IP address X.X.X.10 and the computer thought it was on X.X.X.7 .  This problem has been resolved.
    Also when running one of the HP diagnostic programmes I was also asked to select the printer and it listed 3 Versions of the printer. I suspected that this could be the problem but I am unable the replicate this and only one printer is shown in Control Panel.
    I have a C7280 printer
    Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
    Wi-Fi connected.
    Any help would be appreciated .

    Hi alanw8888, having 3 versions if the printer could certainly be causing a conflict.Sounds like we need a fresh start. I suspect, removing the driver from printer server properties and doing a complete uninstall will resolve this issue. use the instructions below to perform these tasks.
    1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder delete the printer < Click here for instructions.
    2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.  (Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.)
    3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
    4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
    5. Choose 'Remove driver only"
    6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
    If you get an 'In use'  error try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
    After the driver is removed from the server properties we can proceed with uninstalling and reinstalling  the software.
    Hold down the Windows Logo key (  ) on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box,  type %temp%
    Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
    Open folder Util
    Open folder CCC
    If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    In the Open  box, type msiexec /unreg, and then click OK.
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    In the Open  box, type msiexec /regserver, and then click OK
    Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Now we can restart the computer and Download and install the HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers
