Error while rendering menus/slideshows--HELP!!

Ok. I've done my homework on this forum and the Mac help pages and nothing fixes this problem.
Initial issue: I have an iDVD project with pictures in drop zones, audio in the background, two menu pages each with 3-4 movies (both .dv and .mpg4), and a menu page with nothing but background audio and text.
While trying to create a disk image I received the (familiar to this board) error that there was an "Error while rendering menus/slideshows" and that burning was to be aborted.
What I tried:
I cleared 41 gigs of free space on my boot drive.
I transfered all of my media files onto the boot drive.
I verified and repaired permissions. (until I did these last two items, the program wouldn't just fail, it would crash my computer, giving me the multilanguage *you must restart* greyed out page).
I downloaded the most recent quicktime, iTunes, and Mac OS updates.
I created a new iDVD project with only one video file (sepearately tried just a .dv and .mpg4 file).
I removed all quicktime extensions from my 'library/quicktime' and '~library/quicktime' folders.
I changed from 'higher quality' to 'better performance'.
I told it to process in the background.
I told it to delete the rendered files when it was done.
I ran the apple hardware Test from my Apple CD.
I turned off the hard drive/screen 'sleep' settings.
I switched the video format from NTSC to PAL.
I swore and came up with multiple comically profane file names for the disk images.
Nothing. It always gives the error following the 'processing menus' portion of the rendering.
Facts:
iBook G4
1.2 GHz Power PC
1.25 GB Ram
41.77 Gigs of free hard drive on boot disk.
iDVD v5.0.1 (625)
iMovie HD v5.0.2 (111)
Quicktime v7.1.5
Mac OSX v10.4.9
I'm running into a deadline and need to have this burned!!
*** Mac?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.2 G Ram

I switched the video format from NTSC to PAL.
Why in the world would you do this? You are in the
NTSC area. You must change the NTSC/PAL setting
BEFORE you start a project.
Mostly because I don't know what it means and wanted to try anything.
All the video and audio is original content.
I ended up going to the Mac genius bar today. They said that it was a corrupted encoding file solved by a reinstall of iDvd. Sounds like a lot of people run into this problem?
On the topic of file formats... do you know why my titles look great in iMovie, but look like crap once I export them? Even if I export at "Full Quality". And is .dv better than .mpg4? I need a good primer.
thanks,
Ian
I suspect the problem lies in your mpg-4 content.
iMovie/iDVD have very spotty mpg-4 support. Try
using something like VisualHub (
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/ ) to convert
your mpg-4 files to DV format. (You may also be
having problems with the music used in your menus.
Where does it come from?)

Error while redendering menus/slideshow

Hi
I get a message telling me the an error has a occured whilst renering the menu/slideshow of my iDVD project.
This happens randomly with my projects and I can never seem to find the source of the problem.
The message of 'AN' error is not very helpful. What error? and how do I fix it?
Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you drop a large video file into a drop zone in the manu window? That has caused problems to some.
What system and iDVD versions are you running? What type of project do you have with what type of media?
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Hello,
Since we are in BI 4.1 SP2 patch 4, we have one Analysis for Olap report which have this message : Fatal error while rendering UI component.
This report gets 7 folders : 5 of them gets this error message and 2 of them works well
It's the same problem with patch 6.
Could you please help us to find a solution ?
I don't know how to investigate.

Hey Nicolas
We are experiencing a similar error. It appears when we try to create a conditional formatting rule on one of the reports.

Error while accessing menus in Runtime workbench from SLD

Hi I am getting following error while accessing menus in runtime workbench from SLD.( example: SLD->runtime workbench->component monitorung ->display)
"Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: User credentials are invalid or user is denied access "
I am using PISUPER to login to SLD and i am able to login to XI using this ID. I could find role -SAP_XI_RWB_SERV_USER - also in the user id profile of PISUPER.

Hi Karthik,
Check if the roles are generated. Or ask your basis team to check.
IF the roles are generated then you have to check if exchange profile if the right username is mentioned or not. IF username is right then reenter the password.
Check the following parameter in exchange profile.
com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.name
com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.pwd

Error while rendering: Export file not found - what to do?

Hi,
I have been editing my video in four different premiere pro projects (as I got adviced to do from these forums because it's AVCHD clips). I have rendered these four projects and burned to four DVD's (total playtime is around 1.5hours) - which is working fine.
But then I try to import all four projects into one big master project because I want to make a blu-ray iso. The import goes fine (I import like this: File > Import > Choose project > Import entire project)
I export to encore, make the menus etc. and click "build" to start rendering. The problem is that after some time I get this error:
Blu-ray Object: "sequence-name-here/project-name-here.prproj", Export file not found
I have seen this error before while rendering some of the four individual projects - but when I saw them I simply just tried again by exporting to encore from the projects again. This seemed to work - but with the big master project I have tried several times with no luck.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? :)

Yes, I got this too:
For posterity, here is what I have found that completely fixes this error, repeatedly: Clear Encore's cache. Specifically:
Close your Encore project and exit Encore
Go to the cache subdirectory named for your project (ie. if your save file is c:\projects\mymovie.ncor then go to c:\projects\mymovie\cache)
Delete the file "mlf.cache.v10"
If your Encore project contains any Premiere Pro dynamically-linked assets, start Premiere Pro and load at least one of the projects used in Encore. (I have found that this reduces memory usage -- for some reason, Premiere Pro takes up less memory than if Encore spawns the PProHeadless.exe media server to serve the same function)
Restart Encore and load your project
...and wait, patiently, for Encore to re-scan all of your assets and build up the cache again and don't touch it until it's finished. I use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) to watch my disk activity and CPU to know when Encore is finished (just hover on the cyan-colored graph and you can see what program is performing the most disk activity). Once it's all finished, I save, then immediately try to build my project again. For proof of concept, my 40GB BD-50 project just built last night after getting this error yesterday afternoon.
If any of your assets are not transcoded before you begin this process, transcode them all, then start this process over again from step one. Clearing the cache does not clear the transcodes.
I hope this helps someone. I was not looking forward to completely re-authoring my project, which I've been working on (on and off) for a few months.

Getting style missing errors while rendering ADF trees in JSF page

I am getting the following message while rendering a JSF page with af:tree. Based on other posts on this forum, I verified servlet-mapping in web.xml and it is already set to /faces/*.

Unknown Error while rendering - kernel_task ?

I've been using PP and AE CS6 for quite a while now and it has generally worked fine, any minor glitches I've always been able to find a solution to.
But Recently while rendering it's only been able to render a small amount then I get the "Unknown Error - Error Compiling Video" message, I've tried the kind of usual things switching off auto save and such to no avail.
I have noticed though, monitoring memory usage in Activity Monitor, that the moment before the render crashes kernel_task leaps from its normal memory consumption of around 4/500mb to around 4.5gb so I'm assuming that is crashing the render...
I'm using a MacBookPro9,2 13" - Intel Core i5 - 2.5GHz - 8gb RAM
It's driving me crazy, would really appreciate any help!

Same problem!!!

Permissions error while rendering to xRaid

Hello!
I'm having a problem that I can't figure out. And it's pretty urgent because I'm delivering 225 VFX shots in 9 days.
When I render a quicktime or a frame sequence out of After Effects (7 or 6.5) to my locally mounted xRaid volume, I will frequently and randomly get the llowing errors:
"After Effects error: opening file "test2_00235.tga" -- you do not have permission to open this file (-54).
(3::130)"
when I hit "ok" it's followed by:
"After effects error: cannot close a closed file. (3::5)"
If I continually requeue, it will eventually get through it (after deleting the bad frames of course). What's weird about the error is that it says it's failing while trying to READ the file that it's actually WRITEing.
I do not get this error when rendering to the drive from another machine with a different user account that has mounted the xRaid via AFS.
I am logged in as admin.
The xRaid is set to "ignore ownership on this volume" and all the permissions for all folders on the disk are set to "0 drwxrwxrwx"
I do not experience any permissions-related errors with anything outside of After Effects. All other applications and the system read and write to the volume without problems.
Here's more about my hardware setup:
I am working on:
Quad G5
OS 10.4.5
4.5GB DDR2 SDRAM
xRaid 3.5TB with the two raid sets each Raid 5 and then software Raid O on top of that. Connected with the Apple fiber channel PCI express card. Latest Firmware and Raid Admin Tools.
The problem occurs rendering with nearly any settings from AE 7x244 or AE6.5
Any advice you can offer would be great.

VFX Supervisor, Hollow Man 2
QuadG5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

ben,
we've been having the same problem here! funny, we're the company that did the main title for hollow man 1. hollywood is a small town eh?
we use a xserve for our AE raid and recently upgraded some machines that came with 10.4 preinstalled. before the introduction of 10.4 to our farm, we had no problems. we use the built in watch folder method of rendering and render on files collected entirely on the raid. the error we get is a "write permission error" and usually happens within a 1-5 min of rendering.
we have been chasing the problem for a good month or two now and we've talked to tech support on both sides (apple and adobe) with no result. we still have the problem and now that we have a growing number of 10.4 machines our functioning farm has gone from 21nodes to 8!!
some "theories" have been that spotlight is causing it. but we cant make the AE raid volume a private non-spotlight item. (you can drag it in but it dosen't stay... even on the AE server)
another theory is that the origonal machine creating a folder to render to HAS to be a 10.4 machine to create the proper permissions. this still dosen't fully work.
also, we tried the one you tried, and ignored ownership on this volume. even though we would be losing some server automation functionality doing this, it did not help.
id like to say that its goten to the point where its mind blowingly stupid. apple being world class systems and well known for their ease and functionality should NOT BE HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM or should have helped us by now.
if you find anything out please let us know. im tired of planning 2k renders a week in advance. good luck.

Error during rendering/encoding -- PLEASE HELP!!

Hey everybody!! After trying twice to burn this project to DVD, I'm about ready to rip my hair out!! First of all, here's the specifics about my computer:
Mac OS 10.3.7 / 800 MHZ Power PC G4 / 256 MB SDRam / My programs are iMovie 4 and I have iDVD5
OK, I'm trying to burn a movie that is about 1 hour, 23 minutes long. Even though my movie is not 90 minutes long, iDVD does tell me that it is too long and that I need to click on "Best Performance" in my iDVD Preferences. No problem, I did that. (By the way, at the time of the burning, I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive.)
Before burning I do repair permissions and delete my "com.apple.idvd.plist".
So, it burns and burns for roughly 6 hours. Right at the very end, the disk spits out and an error message comes up saying:
Encoding Video
Error during rendering/encoding:
This is very frustrating because I need to get this video done by tonight and turn it in by Monday morning!!
Any suggestions?? Please help!!! Thanxx!!

I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive
I don't think that's enough. Remember a DVD is 4.7GB (which iDVD first stores on your hard drive) plus temporary files that iDVD needs.

Hi,
   Have you included any 'Used DCs' in My_Project? If yes, first deploy the used components on the J2EE engine & then deploy local/My_Project.
   If you have not added any 'Used DCs', check if the component has already been deployed on the J2EE engine. If so, remove it & then try deploying it again.
Revert in case of any queries.

CS6 Running out of memory Error while rendering

Hey everyone,
I recently upgraded to After Effects CS6 thinking it would be a great investment. So far, I have been horribly wrong!
Here's my computer's specs: (this is a huge upgrade from the computer I was running 5.5 on without any problems other than it being slow)
Intel i7-3615QM 2.3GHz Ivy Bridge processor
8GB GDDR5 RAM
NVIDIA GeForcs 650M w/ 2GB GDDR5 dedicated RAM
Here's what's happening:
I've been doing recording for my job at 1080p in front of a green screen. I record 16 minute sections. I use Keylight to replace the background with a still picture, and then export the video at half resolution, with audio as H.264 (.mp4) files. Normally I would set up the 16 minute sections to render in queue, but it kept having the "out of memory" error shortly after starting the one second in line. So then I started just doing one at a time... and now it won't even make it through one!
I have noticed that even after rendering is done, AE is still using 6 gigs of RAM! Usually I can purge the ram, but now even doing that doesn't change anything - I have to close the program to get my RAM back. I have tried enlarging my page file, I've tried rendering in different resolutions and file types - I feel like I've tried everthing. I've looked all over the internet and I haven't found any real solutions (just talk from 2008 about "secret" menus that I can't get to work).
Please help!!
Thank you!!
Dominic

I wouldn't mind getting more RAM except that the computer I used to do this very same work with (except with 5.5) only had 6GHz of RAM and a pathetic processor and GPU in comparison.
I've tried doing the same editing in PrP but it just doesn't have enough tools . Changing my output format hasn't helped either unfortunately. I think the program has a memory leak.
I really think I might just go back to 5.5. I called support today and it took forever just to get the poor girl helping me to understand my name has an "m" in it. She wasn't really able to understand the problem. As far as I can tell, CS6 has been a 100% downgrade.
Thank you both for the help!
Dominic
