Exporting to Disk Image Causing HD Issues

hi all. i've been exporting my dvd's as disk images onto an external hard drive, but every time i do, my internal hd loses a significant amount of memory as well. all project files are also located on the external drive, so there's absolutely no reason that it should be affecting my mac's internal hd that i know of. any suggestions? i've tried searching my comp for any files created or modified, but it finds nothing.

During the process of Burning a DVD, or to a folder, many more files are created, than what will be finally written. These working files are usually eliminated after the process has completed.
One can watch similar, when Exporting a muxed MPEG-2 file from PrPro, or most NLE's. If one has Windows Explorer (or the Mac equivilent) open, they'll see both the video and the audio files being created, then the muxed file is "assembled," and the elemental streams are eliminated.
Why your "working" files are not being eliminated, would be a concern. Off-hand, I do not have any idea of the cause of this.
One question: what version of En are you using? CS4 PrPro does do some files to C:\, during Export, etc., that were not created outside of the Scratch Disks, in earlier versions.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Anyone know Disk Utility, Ignore Ownership, and disk image DL DVD issues?

    I am currently having issues with backup DVD's I burned using Disk Utility. I can put the dual layer DVD's in and the system reads them. When I try to pull a file off the Dual Layer DVD a circle with an X appears notifying me that I cannot copy the files to my desk top.
    When I check the DVD's permissions it reads Admin (me) read and write with the ignore ownership checkbox checked...which means I should be able to pull files off the DVD. The only way I can currently get information off the DVD is to duplicate the entire disk to a new folder by selecting the DVD while holding down the Cntrl key and selecting duplicate. I have had other issues with DVD's and disk images in Leopard....including having to eject either through disk utility or by selecting the image with the Cntrl key held down. Finder eject, keyboard eject, and the menu eject selections suddenly report that the disk is in use.
    The DVD's were burned by creating a dual layer dvd image through disk utility with the read/write option checked.
    After duplicating 2-3 disks, the system itself is unable to mount any more disks from the series of backups. When I look at disk utility it reads that the disk is not mountable. I have to restart my computer so the system can continue to read the backups.
    My Itunes disk backups are marked the same way (ignore ownership) with admin read/write privlages....I have no problem pulling files off these disks.
    I have tried both logging in as root and booting from an external drive...same problem. Is this some nasty Disk Utility bug? Is anyone else having bizarre permission related issues with Disk Utility and Disk Images.

    When you create the image in Disk Utility, did you
    change the 'Partitions' setting?
    If you leave it to read 'CD/DVD', it will create a ISO9660/UDF image.
    To be able to maintain permission and extended file attributes, you
    need to select 'GUID Partition Map'.
    I assume you used iTunes to create your music backup?
    It seems it creates the correct image type for you.
    Before sending this message, I actually created a single layer image,
    copied some files to it and gave additional permissions to other users on my system.
    Afterwards I copied the files to my Desktop, verifying that the attributes are still intact.
    Best regards
    (It took quite a while to burn this 4x DVD-RW Anyways, I hope I could help)

    Warning  The following disk images could't be opened  Photoshop_13_LS16.dr   error - 4960

    This is a Mac OS error that it is unable to mount the disk image.
    Basic issue: the dmg probably did not download completely or got corrupted during the download.
    I think that it might be best to redownload the files.

  • WebCenter Sites - Export to Disk with Images

    Using WebCenter Sites (11.1.1.6.0), I've followed the 'export to disk' instructions for FirstSiteII but no images are exported. I have selected all types in 'Approve Multiple Assets' query (including images) before publishing. There are a list of totals from the query results, and it appears to have found images and approved them, however there are messages saying:
    "Rendered page returns -4 rendering asset, ItemImage.jpg. Please preview asset and check template, FirstSiteII/Media_C/FSIIDetail."
    (Although this message is presented in a green notification box with a tick)
    How can I include images in the export?
    The plan was to use the 'export to disk' feature as the primary method of publishing site content. I'm using the sample sites to test how feasible this is. I also haven't been able to locate a suitable entry point asset on the avisports sample to test it as well. The 'Home' asset cannot be selected as entry point as 'no templates can be found' (despite it listing that it uses HomeLayout in the form).
    How can I export avisports site to disk?
    Many thanks.

    Still looking for some detail on how to export avisports to disk, and include images in a FirstSiteII export to disk. The image issue may be related to how the images are stored (as an asset in the database served by the blobserver, or separably on disk). I would have thought that if they are database stored, they would be extracted on publishing (export to disk) but this doesn't seem to be happening?

  • Disk image system copy causes problems

    Hi
      Working with a client who chose to copy a PRD SAP ECC 6.0 system to a new box (as DEV) via a disk image copy. They renamed enough of the new SAP system to get it running but they still have problems.
    The command CHGR3SHLOC fails when the PRD box tries to create the mount to DEV. Also the source system name show up in the name of the default & instance profiles even when the old profiles are deleted and regenerated.
    I was wondering if anyone had a list of things to be changed when using a disk image to create a new SAP system.
    Personally I always do a normal install followed by a DB copy to create a DEV system from a PRD system.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    I'm sorry, but I never used DSPR3SYS or similar ... you udefinetely do not need to redo the copy, but you need to fix the root cause. As I do not know your issue, I cannot help you ...
    I would change the data area in r3sid400, the profiles and the /usr/sap/trans/config/SID ... (except the rest of my document)
    In crazy cases delete of the IFS stuff in /usr/sap & /sapmnt should help as well and then use crtr3sys and crtr3inst ...
    For more details, I need to check online ...

  • Issue with size of disk image on an external drive

    I am trying to make a 900GB encrypted disk image on a new (blank) Lacie 1TB external drive. When I try and do so, I am told that there is only space for a 500GB image. When I tried to do the same thing on a Seagate 1TB external drive, I had no problem in doing so. Lacie tells me that it's an OS issue and not a disk issue. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

    I had already contacted LaCie; they weren't too interested and told me to contact Apple. I contacted Apple and the tech guy said that in order to create a diskimage of xGB, one needs 2xGB space on that drive. I don't know why that is and I didn't ask and nor did I have the energy to ask why it then worked on the Seagate drive. He said I can use FileVault 2 to secure the external drive...

  • Orgchart export to image: special characters issue

    Hello,
    Using Orgchart Accelerated 2.01.
    We have an issue when exporting to image.  The issue happens when org unit name or attributes contains some special characters like é or ë (common in French).  In the jpg export, these characters are being replaced by some square characters.  In the preview and in the application, everything is displaying just fine.
    This doesn't happen for ppt export (pdf export still not functionning)
    Thanks,
    Laurent

    HI Laurent,
    This is quite unusual. As far as I am aware the OrgChart Accelerated solution only supports English at present. However, you should raise an OSS message via Service Marketplace as I would expect it to export these characters okay.
    Many thanks,
    Luke

  • 10.4.7 Disk Imaging Issues

    We have been using a disk image for all of the machines in our department. As updates become available we typically install the update on the Main Image system then use Disk Util. to Restore to other machines..The machines are identical. Every system we have tried to image since then only go about a qtr of the way before giving the error: "RESTORE FAILURE - An Error (2) Occured while copying (no such file or directory)
    This is the first time the issue has occured since we began imaging systems a couple of years ago.
    Any Ideas?
    G5 Dual Core   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Problems after 10.4.7 Update

    Are you restoring an image made from the 'main image system' or directly from its drive? Have you prepared the image for restore by doing a 'scan for restore' for it? If so, does the image checksum verification pass the image fie? What image format did you choose?

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
    Read C12 in pondini.

    C17 can be related I think.

  • Is it possible (and does not cause any problems) to create a disk image inside a disk image?

    Hey there,
    I'd like to setup a password protected Disk Image with several different password proteced disk images inside. Such as different levels of security. is that possible at all and if yes, is there anything to consider or any known issues?

    sorry my englisch is not that good. I don't understand your sentence. what does it no to both queries mean?

  • Disk Utility doesn't finish creating new disk image - naming issue??

    Recently I upgraded to Snow Leopard and carried along an empty disk image created in OS 10.4.11. I use these for archiving data on read-only DVDs and password protect the images.
    In the earlier OS, I found the practical limit for the dmg was 4.3 GB, containing 4.27+ GB of data (anything larger failed when attempting to burn data DVDs). Today, when I looked at my empty dmg file, the OS 10.6.6 Finder showed it to be larger both inside and outside (just under 4.7 GB inside I think - didn't write it down). I suspected that it may be corrupted or at least not give correct directory information, so I deleted this dmg as a precaution and tried to make a new one with the old size by selecting custom size within Disk Utility. Now every time I try to create a new dmg this it stalls at about 100 MB.
    The image format panel has several additional settings in OS 10.6 . There are two places for names - in the "Save as" field above and in the "Name" field below. (Haven't yet found any documentation where the reason for this is explained or which lists possible name limitations. The Help info appears to be identical to what was in 10.4) I've tried making both names the same, but it still stalls
    Disk Utility settings:
    Save as __Diskname
    Name in lower field __Diskname (have also left it blank no difference)
    Custom 4.3 GB
    Mac OS Extended (journaled)
    128 bit encryption
    single partition
    read/write format* (also tried CD/DVD master - no difference)
    * All files are not necessarily added at once so I'm pretty sure I want this to be read/write
    Message was edited by: James Kilgore
    In case this isn't obvious I mean read/write formatting on the hard drive, but when burned the format will remain the same whether or not the disk used is rewritable

    Hi Michael,
    Did you reformat it HFS+ or something else?
    Some USB2 Flash Drives Write at a disappointing USB1 speed, but Read at USB2 speeds.
    From what I can find, that isn't one of them and should take maybe an hour & a half to transfer 30 GB to it. Of course if write speed IS USB1, then you could expect 2 days or more.
    I'd stop it. Reformat it, then make the Image on the HD and try transferring it.

  • I am having issues with Time Machine. Error message "The backup disk image could not be created.

    Error message "The backup disk image could not be created." I have tried everything I have found online in the community from TM full reset  to changing my computers name. Anything else I can try? I am using a Seagate external HD with a connection through my router. I spent an hour on the phone with seagate and everything is ok on the HD end.
    TM sees it and it is mounted but cannot go any further. HELP?!!!!
    Thanks

    How should it be connected? It has a usb port and ethernet. The USB on the ExHD looks like the port on the back of my computer, so I would need one wth the same ends? Do they make those?
    I can usually fix most my comp problems myself, but this new ExHD has stumped me.
    Thanks for your help.

  • HELP ! Last To Sec . Updates causing problems-Won't mount any disk images

    Just installed most current 2 updates Mac OS X v10.5.8 (Leopard) & now can't get my system to be able to mount any disk images of any kind. Internal expander gives me Mounting failed
    Also tried to expand with Stuffit and got following message:

    SecUpd2009-004.dmg no mountable file system.
    This first started with 2009-003 update and now 2009-004 it continues.
    Also completely erased my backup external HD files.

    If you did not repair permissions after updating, then try the following:
    Try running +repair disk+ from your *software install DVD* and afterwards, run +repair permissions+ *from your HD.*
