Has anyone been successful importing h.264 into Encore?
First, my system and goal:
A MacPro with 2.66mHz dual core and 12 gigs of RAM.
Multi Terrabytes of space.
I shoot on a Panasonic HVX-200, edit in Final Cut Pro and output Quicktime files as the basis for rendering to DVD and Blu-ray. I shot this stuff in 1080i. The camera codec is DVCPROHD and that is what I output to also.
I am trying to burn Blu-ray discs. I have an external Pioneer BDR-203 Blu-ray burner and it works fine.
I have done my tests and have decided that for Blu-ray, h.264 is far superior to mpeg2 in look and file size so I am sticking with it.
Here is the issue (and I have scoured this forum area and found no one discussing or solving this issue to date):
I have made hundreds of different DVDs with DVDStudioPro and am very familiar with it. Not to get off on a tangent but my beloved Apple has decided to betray me by not supporting Blu-ray (the ONLY way to output HD for us independents) so I studied up on Encore and have been using it to format my latest project to HD. The interface works pretty nice and even has some superiority to DVDSP but you have to have the patience of JOB to see your results. 5 Day (Remember. That's 24 Hour Days) Rendering is my tops so far. (OK. Full Disclosure... the documentary is 3 hours and 15 minutes long BUT DVDStudioPro took the same Quicktime files and crunched them down to mpeg2 for the DVD in about a day) Anyway about 6 days ago I had a 3 day render session that crapped out on me as it was finally recording to disc. For some reason it didn't like the BD-RE disc I had in the machine and just bagged the whole process. When I put in a new disc it just started rendering All Over Again. After that debacle I gave up on that method and now am rendering to BDMV folders which I then burn to disc using Toast. (While I am writing this my fingers are crossed that it will make it to the end - it's been another 3 days...)
I provide the details above to show why I am more than dismayed that I cannot figure any way to import h.264 files INTO Encore from another renderer. Either Compressor or Encoder render much faster than Encore. So I have tried render my project to a variety of output types from both Apple's Compressor and Adobe's Encoder with no joy any way I try.
(as a side note I am also dismayed that when I made a change to a MENU, Encore decided to encode The Whole Project Again rather than just the menu part...)
One of my latest file testing adventures was based on a theory that the problem has to do with DVCPROHD recording to 1280 x 1080 anamorphic rather than 1440 x 1080 (the "expected" frame size for 1080i). I fooled with that a half day but could not get either renderer to generate any test material from my FCP output that Encore would burn without re-rendering. By that I mean I cajoled and tricked Compressor and Encoder to output 1920 x 1080 files; 1440 x 1080 files and 1280 x 1080 files (all h.264) to see if Encore would recognize any of them without re-rendering them. No Luck.
So. Has anyone had success importing h.264 into CS4Encore from anywhere (but particularly using the same or similar gear I am using)? The Encore literature really doesn't give you much to go oon.
Lately I am very inclined to think the problem has something to do with this 1280 x 1080 DVCPROHD issue but I can't say for sure. I offer that as a suggestion if anyone else with a similar production stream is having the same problem and maybe it will trip a switch in their mind for a solution.
I like the Encore interface and design possibilities you have by swinging back and forth from PShop and After Effects but using Encore's renderer is like Chinese Water Torture.
Thanks for your help.
Brian,
I got your test file into Encore and got Encore to show its Blu-ray transcode status as "Don't Transcode".

Has ANYONE been successful with their IP4 order?
I've been trying since it was available and have had zero luck. I'm about to give up. Anyone get lucky yet?
I was, still waiting for conf email. I woke up @ 4am, finally around 5:15 I was able to reserve, with no eligibility pricing, even though I was eligible. I got worried about that and tried again just after the opps message in the apple store. I got all the way through, but then got stopped for having another reservation. I quickly cancelled that, clicked enter and kept my fingers crossed. It went thru for the $199 and now I'm waiting for conf email. Good luck all it's work time!
Received conf email.

Has ANYONE been successful in accessing their Time Capsule via mobileme???
I have set my mobileme user name and password on both of my Time Capsules yet I have not been able to see either one from anywhere other than from within my network.
Perhaps I am missing a simple step but I don't think so.
Just wondering how others have fared with this.
I am using a new and updated time capsule that I just purchased and the other was purchased in September. All firmware updates are done as well.
Thanks in advance to all.I up dated my Time capsule with 7.4.1 and I can see my Time Capsule with no problems on my mobileme, I have a problem keeping my network up with the new update. The Time Capsule looses the internet and network after an hour or two after the updated and new to be upluged and pluged back in to get the network back and the internet, when go back to 7.3.2 the system works fine by I am not able to see my Time Capsule on the Mobileme, but it does show on my network and I can access on the network, I am asked to update the Time Capsule because it keep opening the update window.

I'm trying to get this out of the way. I'm getting an error about Apple Mobile Device isnt registering. I have my phone attached but i dont understand what else to do. Any help?
Strip it out and start again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

Has anyone been able to successfully integrate CHARM and BW?
We are trying to pilot it but cannot find a way of allowing us to control the sequence of importing transports - it's fine for small single transports but we can't see how to control the order of multiple transports or how to re-transport specific indiviual transports.
ThanksYou can but you have to install Rosetta from one of your (snow)leopard) disks. It's not a good idea if you don't know what you are doing. But it does work. There are some instructions online if you really want to give it a go. FCS2 is not native intel and Lion is not supporting PPC anymore. So while you can it is questionable if you should. Probably time to up or cross grade.

Has anyone been able to successfully use more than 8 cores with Logic?
I've posted this before and was recommended to phrase the question like this, has anyone been able to successfully use more than 8 cores with Logic?
If so or if not please specify what version of logic you have, what computer since only the new Mac Pro's have 16 virtual cores, and any other information or reference saying how to or how its not possible. This seems to be a question many users need to find out before upgrading to a new mac. Thanks!DrumStudio wrote:

Has anyone been able to get a CR10 .RPT published into CR9?
Post Author: waynemc
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I've got Crystal Reports Full Developer V10 and have to generate reports for a Crystal Enterprise V9 system.
When I use the Publishing Wizard that comes with Crystal Enterprise V9 it doesn't process my V10 .RPT file. The final dialog box has the lame error message "The wizard has finished publishing. However some objects failed to publish properly" i.e. my .RPT file. No error details are shown.
I can't believe such a great product would not have compatibility between two close versions. The CR V10 Developer doesn't have a "Save As ..." with the choice of V9 .RPT or V10 .RPT after all!
Has anyone had success with a similar scenario between versions 9 and 10?
Many thanks.

Actually, I found out that you can open an 11 report in 9, but not anything below 9. Not sure about the publishing then. But.....Not sure what you mean about embedding the license key. We have customers with their own copy of Crystal that are able to edit our reports using their version.... -

Thanks for reminding to at least update the results thus far.
Update 4:
I did get quite a bit of support initially although slowly over a period of a month or so. After Adobe FM support and my SharePoint systems engineer reviewed how FM10 was setup on my computer (which I am the admin for our department’s SP site) and how it interfaces with our SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition, there was two conclusions:
Basically Adobe FM Support said that FM10 did not support claims-based authentication and they can no longer help me. They said it will work with FM11 when it comes out.
My SP Systems Engineer, said that FM10 is connecting to SP 2010 just fine but that the FM10 has a software glitch that causes FM10 lose control when executing checkout procedure within FM10. I can checkout and edit that same file in SP with no problems.
About a month later, I upgraded to FM11 and ran into the same problem. I attempted to get Adobe FM Support to help and they said they will look into and get back to me. That was in July and I have not heard anything more from them, and to be honest, my schedule has been extremely busy the last 5 months that I have not had time to pursue it any further.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the SP interface and, overall, the lackluster support I received from Adobe. Having a working SP interface was one of the criteria for purchasing TCS3.5 (and subsequent upgrade) in the first place.
One thing of note, we migrated from SP 2007 to SP 2010 in February 2011 and, at the time of Adobe support, I still had access to my SP 2007 site. FM10 and FM11 had to no issues working with SP2007. Unfortunately, SP 2007 is not an option for me anymore.
Also, another observation of FM10/11 not working with SP 2010, it seems that FM10/11 is automatically configured to work with SharePoint Drafts folder locally when connecting to the SharePoint library. This worked just fine with SP 2007 but SP 2010 does not use SharePoint Drafts folder locally the same way (the programming changed, don’t recall where I saw it, probably when searching this issue online) and I suspect that is one of the main issues why it does not work correctly.
So at this time, I have not found a working solution to this problem. -
Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.
Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.
