Encore is taking too long to transcode. How can I make this faster?

The project is roughly an hour long. 1 menu. the video is mp4. I used encore the other day and it didnt take this long. I left my computer on all night and it barely moved.

John and Stan's replies are correct and I'd like to expand on that. Where did you get the .mp4 file? From a camera, or did you export an .mp4 from Premiere for use in Encore? Best to avoid intermediate codecs if the latter, to save both time and quality.
The best workflow is to complete the edit in Premiere, and then use File > Export and choose "MPEG-2 DVD" and an appropriate preset as well, such as "NTSC DV Widescreen" or whatever best suits your needs. You'd also want to set the correct bit rate for the length of the program. A longer program requires a lower bit rate to fit the content on the DVD.
Search online for "bitrate calculator" for available tools, or rough rule of thumb is 560/minutes = bitrate. Round down a little for safety margin, but for shorter programs, don't exceed 7.0 or 8.0 for the video bit rate.
This export will provide TWO files, .m2v for video and .wav audio. Import BOTH into Encore. The audio will transcode automatically to Dolby AC3 and the video should NOT need transcoding.
EDIT: just saw your response about making an .avi, and yes that can work, but again you are encoding twice rather than just once. Make the "MPEG-2 DVD" file once and be done.
Good luck

  • A space monitering script is running too slowly !! How can I make it faster

    Hi. all.
    The following db space monitering script is really taking too much time.
    The script is from a certain db monitering solution.
    It is running on a 30-minute regular basis, and one of top sqls from AWR reports.
    As you know, "dba*" objects are not a physical table.
    I would like to know how to figure out this performance issue..
    The database is oracle 10.2.0.4 on a solars, and has about 110 tablespaces and 2300 data files.
    The total size of the database is about 36 Tera size.
    SELECT a.tablespace_name || ' ' || ROUND ( (a.used_bytes - NVL (b.recycle_bytes, 0)) / a.total_bytes * 100, 2) USAGE
    FROM (SELECT t.tablespace_name, SUM (u.BYTES) used_bytes, SUM (t.BYTES) total_bytes
    FROM (SELECT tablespace_name, SUM (user_bytes) BYTES
    FROM dba_data_files
    GROUP BY tablespace_name) t,
    (SELECT tablespace_name, SUM (BYTES) BYTES
    FROM dba_segments
    GROUP BY tablespace_name) u
    WHERE t.tablespace_name = u.tablespace_name(+)
    GROUP BY t.tablespace_name) a,
    (SELECT ts.tablespace_name, SUM (rec.BYTES * df.block_size) recycle_bytes
    FROM (SELECT file#, SUM (SPACE) BYTES
    FROM SYS.recyclebin$
    WHERE file# IS NOT NULL
    GROUP BY file#) rec,
    (SELECT ts#, file#, block_size
    FROM v$datafile) df,
    (SELECT tablespace_name, file_id
    FROM dba_data_files) ts
    WHERE rec.file# = df.file# AND df.file# = ts.file_id
    GROUP BY ts.tablespace_name) b
    WHERE a.tablespace_name = b.tablespace_name(+)
    AND a.tablespace_name NOT IN (SELECT tablespace_name
    FROM dba_rollback_segs
    WHERE tablespace_name != 'SYSTEM')
    Any help from your experience and knowledge will be greatly appreciated..
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.

    Is free disk space so small that you feel compelled to check it every THIRTY minutes?
    My tablespaces are sized with approximately 2 months data growth is always free;
    so I check them once a month to see if any need to be expanded more than previously allocated.

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

  • HT201317 since I have down loaded the iOS7 software my photos are no longer up loaded to my laptop. How can I make this start happeing again?

    Since I have downloaded the iOS7 software my photos no ,longer automatically sync and upload to my lap top. How can I make this happen again?

    Hi missvashenca,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your photos are not appearing on your computer from your iOS device anymore through Photo Stream, I'd first verify that the Photo Stream service is still enabled on your iOS device:
    iCloud: Set up Photo Stream
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2605
    If it is, you may also want to try switching it off and back on again.
    Likewise, I would also try this with your computer's Photo Stream settings.
    As always, I recommend backing up your photos before performing troubleshooting:

    What exactly are you trying to download on what system? Feel free to download to external drives to bypass the immediate bottleneck, but that may not resolve your issue once you install....

  • I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
    I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays.

  • When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

  • Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

    Just restored my iPhone 5  from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?  We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings.  I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

    Hi Big Slick,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Cheers,
    Joe

    That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

  • How can I make this shape?

    How can I make this shape in fireworks:
    I want some images in my website to have rounded corners. Im doing this by adding 4 divs with background images and absolutely positioning them, one over each corner of the image. The background images are PNGs with transparent areas. This works as the site's background is a solid color, so the rounded corners dont need to actually be transparent.
    The issue im having is that the pixels on the curve need to be semi transparent. Id love to make this shape as a vector but I dont know how.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is another simple way to get the shape desired. Create a rounded rectangle that is twice your corner size - both width and height wise. Now adjust the rounded corners to almost make a circle (pull the yellow corner handle towards the center of the side). Now click the corner and you will be able to toggle between the different corner types. You can now either use the shape as it is (if you need it for corners of a sprite rounded rectangle) or you can cut it up to get the desired wedge.
