Encore CS4 loads 10% and STOPS! help please

I'm a high school student working on a dvd for my school's battle of the bands (it's over 2 hours long counting the concert itself and interviews with the bands), i'm quite adept with Adobe software and have been using it for some time. The project file is massive and i've been able to get all of my footage into Adobe Encore CS4 and make the menu. Now when I try to open the project, it loads 10% and stops, freezes, and will not respond. The computers here are Dell's running Windows XP and i have a feeling they're from about 2005-2007. Could this be due to the computer I'm working on? Or possibly a problem with Encore? I also have a feeling that I might need administrative authority on the computer to be able to work on a file in Encore that's as massive as this.
Please help me in any way you can, I've been working on this project for months and would like to finally finish it.

Welcome to the forum.
Both PrPro and Encore really, really want to be run under an Administrator account. That would be my first guess, but something puzzles me - you had been working in Encore with this Project in the past. Did your IT department change your account?
As a test, can you launch Encore and choose New Project? If so, set that up with a few Imported test Assets. Add a Menu from the Library and Link the Assets - Preview. Does everything work OK?
Next, where are your Assets stored, the ones for your Battle of the Bands Project? Are they on a networked drive, a USB external, etc.? Those can be an issue.
Last, tell us a bit about your Assets (especially your AV files), and also how you Imported them, i.e. as Timelines, or as Assets, to be dragged to Timelines. Are your AV files muxed, i.e. containing both the Audio and the Video, or are they elemental/elementary streams (Video-only in one file and Audio-only in another)?
I'm hoping that there is nothing wrong with the Project itself, as Encore does not have the capacities for "saving" a corrupt Project, that PrPro does.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Reset your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If you continue to have issues, try downloading the apps to iTunes on your computer, then sync your iPhone using iTunes.

  • IE 11 Does not load pages and "Stops Responding" After 11/26/2013 Windows Update

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. IE 11. (Doesn't matter if I try to open 32 or 64 bit IE)
    I keep Automatic Updates on and they install as soon as they are available.
    Everything on my PC was running fine 11/25/13.
    I came to it 11/26/13 after Windows Updates ran and now whenever I open any webpages, it does not load the web page 100%, no hyperlinks can be clicked on and once you attempt to click on anything. I get the "IE 11 has stopped responding" bubble.
    It also seemed to affect Firefox which does not completely load pages either.
    Any shove in the correct way to help solve this would be helpful.

    Robert -
    Anyone who has gathered over 13,000 points is certainly to be respected as being super smart and uber helpful.  However, your response is inadequate on two counts.
    First, "stopped working" is not an inexact phrase, nor is it a euphemism trotted out by a newbie who hasn't the skill to describe the problem accurately. "stopped working" is an exact part of the error message issued by Windows.  Of course it would
    help if Windows would issue error messages that are more useful, but that is a different issue. For the purposes of this discussion, "stopped working" as part of the exact error message is a useful piece of information.
    Second, despite your excellent suggestions for hunting down the problem, I'm guessing that few people here have the time or inclination to be beta testers for Microsoft.  Even if the exact cause is found, it is not likely that anyone here will
    be able to fix the problem.  There are literally hundreds of people complaining about this problem in multiple forums.  If you know your consumer behavior metrics, then you know that means tens of thousands are affected.  This is systemic, not
    a random problem on a few errant machines.  Microsoft needs to know that they have a major problem on their hands and they need to fix it.  I saw this problem starting with IE 10.  Is it any wonder that in that time, IE usage has fallen greatly
    while Chrome has become the dominant browser?  (The only reason I am bothering to write instead of just shifting to Chrome is that Chrome also has its bugs, one of which affects a web app I use several times a week, so I need a functioning version of
    IE.)
    So thanks Robert for all your help in the past, but this response isn't helpful.
    Microsoft, are you listening?  Fix your browser.

  • What is the situation with Encore-Multi Movie Timelines and Stop Marker equivalents?

    I am strickly a Premiere Elements Windows user who long ago discovered that Premiere Elements (any version) does not recognize the Timeline Stop Markers in the play back of its burn to Blu-ray product. Others have reported the same. I have yet to find a user who reports "can do" in this regard.
    One workaround might be to export the Premiere Elements Timeline to file and then import that file into another program for menu creation and authoring. I have seen one online Encore video tutorial where "Stop Action" and "Play All" maneuvers seem to address this menu plan for DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    The specific question Is: Is "Stop Action" the Encore equivalent of Premiere Elements' Stop Markers?
    The overall question is:
    Can Encore be used to create a menu plan where
    1.
    a. Main Menu has buttons for more than one movie (Chapter Markers)
    and
    b. Selecting one of those movies (buttons), allows the user to play that movie from start to its finish, followed immediately by a return to the main menu
    and
    c. After the viewer selects one of the movies, the viewer has the option to watch that movie from start to finish or go to specific scenes in that movie. In the case of Premiere Elements and the multi movie Timeline, each movie cannot have its own scene selection page.
    Any insights into Encore possible use in creating menus for multi movie Timelines for burn to Blu-ray would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    ATR,
    Welcome over here!
    Not sure about the term, "Stop Action" in Encore. However, and as Stanley points out, all that you wish to do can be done in Encore, and easily.
    Depending on the navigation that you will ultimately desire, you might want to use multiple Timelines, which can BE "chapters" themselves, or can HAVE Chapters in them. With the use of Playlists (working on the Timeline level), you can set the navigation as needed, and if you need finer control, then can use Chapter Playlists (similar, but different), also.
    To get from PrElements, you would want to use one of two workflows:
    Export/Share your PrE Timeline(s) as DV-AVI, to be Imported into Encore as Timelines.
    Export/Share your PrE Timeline(s) as MPEG-2 DVD, with a Bit-Rate, that will allow for the total Duration of your Timeline(s), allowance for Menus and navigation vs the size of disc chosen, DVD-5, or DVD-9. A Bit-Rate calculator would be useful for this purpose.
    While one can gang Assets, like DV-AVI's onto a single Timeline, there can be issues with that, and I prefer to create separate Timelines for each.
    Good luck, and nice seeing you around this forum.

  • JSP and Servlet - help please

    Hello,
    I am making this feedback for fun and a bit of learning too. I have an INDEX.JSP page, where the user selects the very first option. Depending upon the selected option he is moved another page PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP (so far I have completed this). Here as usual there are many fields to be filled in. As a spams protection i have done this;
    I have a AdditionClass, which is a seperate class where two number are generated at random. This numbers are called by PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP. The user is then asked to perform the addition. The completed form is then sent to ProductFeedback servlet.
    When I compile my PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP I get this error. Can you please tell whats wrong?

  • After effects and photoshop ,,,help please

    hi all
    can anybody help please.
    ive been making a short film with my son and putting some basic effects in, just for a laugh.
    i noticed an effect on ADOBE TV that was done by Gareth Edwards in his movie MONSTERS which i thought would be good to try out in my film but i carnt get it right,,
    here is the link to that effect...            http://tv.adobe.com/watch/customer-stories-video-film-and-audio/monsters/
    its the effect where he changes the menu board in a cafe to one of his infected area signs, he allso changes a few other signs.
    in the video he say that he exports a still frame from after effects into photoshop and puts on his image {with a few tweaks her and there}, when hes got it ok in photoshop ,it some how updates in after effects??
    can any please help ,thank you

    It's a simplified explanation of the process.  He left out explanations of motion tracking and perspective matching that were most certainly required for the shot being discussed.
    If you are doing the same process to a static, locked off shot, with no foreground objects passing in front of your sign, it would be very possible to create a single frame in Photoshop and just layer it over your scene in AE.  But once the camera moves, you will need to understand Motion Tracking.  If objects pass in front of the replaced component, you will need to understand Masking.

  • Mail and password: Help please!!!

    I have changed my password and on my iPhone and iPad there is no problem. However, on my iMac, 10.8.2 every time I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up again Mail tells me to verify my password. I press OK but it refuses to accept and I am forced to go to System Preferences, then mail where I press OK for the same password and the whole thing then works.
    In Yahoo it works perfectly!
    What is happening in Mail. I have deleted the account in preferences and set it up again but all to no avail.
    Help please!!!

    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • The sound on my iPhone isn't working I tried putting headphones in and it worked, but as soon as I take th out and the sound countinues playing the sound stops help please

    The sound on my iPhone isn't working I don't understand why it was working fine an hour ago I haven't dropped it or anything simply just out it on silent... The music I was trying to listen to didn't want to make a sound when I turned it in , I put a pair of headphones in and and it worked as soon as I took it off it completely stopped the music was playing still I could see it in the top column that  the play button was on ... Then I made a call an the same thing happened I turned it on speaker and then I could hear them... The sound is completely off even tho i looked at the seettings and put the volume on high noting is sounding on its own not even when i tap the buttons... I took it off the silent before I tried this stuff I don't understand please help !!!

    make sure that your head phones are not attached to the phone then use the volume buttons on the side, if when using them you see a pic of headphones on the screen, then you have some lint in the headphone jack, use some compressed air and blow it out.
    If you dont see that then try to reset the phone, hold down the home and power buttons for 20 seconds or untill you see the silver apple.
    If you are still having a problem restore the phone and set up as new to see if that clears it up.

  • Track Pad Stopped Working: Swipes between FullScreen, Desktop and Dashboard, Help Please?
