How long is this going to take.... burning a biiiig project...

ok here's the scenario... i have 2 hours of footage taken from a Cannon GL2 camera with excellent sound and such. I took the files and put them on an external hard drive using Premiere Pro.
I am running Encord DVD 2.0 and the total of all the files I'm putting on the DVD is around 23 gigs. These are all un-transcoded and the program is now transcoding each of the files but since this is the first time i've done anything like this, I'm wondering if it's going to take all night or what...
the burner i have is burning the info at 4X but I don't think it's gotten to the the burning phase yet... I have like 3 hours til i leave the office and I really hope I don't have to leave the computer here, but in any event...
What do I need to do in the future to make sure this doesn't happen so slow or is there anything at all that can be done... I'm cool with waiting and all, but I just wanna know what to be prepared for.
Thanks in advance!!!
basic breakdown, I need to know the process that the program goes thru after the transcoding phase...and how i can transcode the stuff myself so it doesn't have to do this in the future...
later guys!

On a 1.75hr. Project, with 14 Timelines (AVI uncompressed and between 5min. and 25min.), AC3 DD SureCode 5.1 Surround, 2 "lead-in" AVIs (uncompressed), Main Menu & 3 Scene Selection Menus (non-animated, but with Audio), plus one Play All Playlist, it takes about 45 min. to Transcode (AVIs, Menus, etc.) and burn DVD-5 at 2.4x on my Plextor. No ROM content and all settings Automatic (4.3GB registered as size of Project on DVD).
System:
3.25GHz duo-core Intel, 4GB RAM, nVidia Quadro 4500FX-512MB and everything on 4-500GB SATAIIs. Plextor (plus another LG) is ATA-100.
One thing jumps out at me in your original statement:
i "put them on an external hard drive using Premiere Pro."
What type of external HDD? Are you doing your Transcode of Assets from this(sounds like you are)? Can you place your Assets onto an internal HDD with plenty of room? One reason that I ask, is that I have had problems with PP2 running very, very slowly, when any Assets were on an external, whether FW-400, 800, USB or Gigabit LAN.

Publishing to .avi - how long is this going to take?

Captivate has been trying to publish my file to .avi for the past 10 hours. Admittedly, it is a rather big file (51 static slides, 45 or so w/ audio each about 10 - 30 seconds of audio, publishing at 940 x 720 resolution). Computer I'm using is a couple years old, but still should be ok (Athlon 64 bit processor, 2 gigs RAM).
I have successfully published shorter (10 slide) projects but with identical settings to AVI (those took about 15 - 30 minutes). Doing that math, this should have been finished in about 3 hours max.
It's 10 hours later.
Captivate is not hanging, and my processor is continually running at over 50% even w/ no other applications open, so I assume it's still working.
I'm afraid to cancel and restart lest it's close to completing. But then again I have a deadline for client and it's getting close.
Also - why on earth is there no progress bar? So I can tell how far along this actually is? (I don't count the preview screen that pops up as a progress bar, as it never seems to match what is actually happening based on the other projects I published).
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi there
Sorry, no real helpful advice to offer here. Not other than to suggest that you report this to Adobe as well as suggesting to Adobe that they consider adding a progress indicator for this action. After all, they are continually working on either a patch or Captivate next.

I'm trying to download maps of the ranch but its taking forever for it to complete. says its enhancing map detail. how long is this going to take????? I need these maps up for work.

I require google maps of the porperty we manage to do my job I purchased the ifarmer app to help organize and keep better track of details in equipment logs and cattle records. I'm trying to download maps of the property and its taking forever. it says it is "enhancing map detail" but its taken so long the ipod falls asleep and I don't know if that makes it take longer. I also can't do anything else on the ipod until it is done downloading. Is the amount of time its taking to download this map normal????

Great
Ok so this is what you need to do:
You need to put it in DFU mode:
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone Screen will be completely black
Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, itunes logo or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
Now you can restore - once restore is completed the Exit DFU mode
Exit DFU mode on iPhone
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

Preparing your iPhone for restore its supposed to be about 1-2 minutes! Do you see any errors the time you plug in the wire from your iPhone to iTunes?

Tables:
x_cart - 50,000 rows
x_1 | x_2
a11 | b11
c12 | g23
y_concat
x_all - 11,000,000 rows
a11_c12_g45
c12_g23
c12
a11_g23_b11_c12We need to count where x_1 and x_2 from x_cart table is found within x_all in y_concat table. So in example above we should get:
x_1 | x_2 | Total_count
a11 | b11 | 1
c12 | g23 | 2I have the following query to do this:
CREATE TABLE x_counts AS
SELECT a.x_1,
         a.x_2,
         COUNT(1) AS total_count
FROM   (SELECT x_1,
                 x_2
          FROM   x_cart) a
          JOIN y_concat b
           ON Instr (b.x_all, a.x_1) != 0
              AND Instr (b.x_all, a.x_2) != 0
GROUP BY a.x_1,
            a.x_2; But it is taking too long.
CREATE TABLE STATEMENT ALL_ROWSCost: 341,329,480 Bytes: 94,386,107,624 Cardinality: 1,194,760,856Any suggestions to improve the code? If not can you roughly estimate how long it is gonna run?
Thanks

CREATE TABLE x_counts AS
SELECT a.x_1,
a.x_2,
COUNT(1) AS total_count
FROM (SELECT x_1,
x_2
FROM x_cart) a
JOIN y_concat b
ON a.x_1 like 'b.x_all%'
AND a.x_2 like 'b.x_all%'
GROUP BY a.x_1,
a.x_2;
and create index over b.x_all
as like may use index id % is given on one side
No logging also may improve performace...

Rebuild RAID1 - How long is this supposed to take?

Hello all
i had a drive die today on an xserve raid1. i replaced the drive and the rebuild started (1:19PM CST). it's been a few hours and the GUI on Disk Utility hasn't really changed much. all it says is:
Rebuilding RAID - and after this it has a progress bar with a "barbers pole" spinning blue and white.
there is no idication of how long it has left to build. it doesn't even look like there is any activity on the LEDs on the server in the appropriate drive bays. i'm scared to cancel out of the rebuild but i have no idea if it's even doing anything.
fyi - two 320GB drives. about 109GB used on the originating drive....
any ideas?
thanks,
nick

fixed it myself. rebooted the server and now it's doing the rebuild properly.

How long is it going to take to get my new iPhone 5?

Apple or whomever you ordered it from will send you an email with the ship date and tracking information.

How long should this iTunes restore take?? Grrrr

Upgrading my iPhone 4 to the new software.
Took over an hour as it was "preparing to restore the software on this iPhone".
Finally, it changed, to read "iTunes is currently restoring the software on on this iPhone". This has been going on for almost TWO HOURS.
There's no status graphic to show how far it's gotten so I'm stumped.
Is this normal??? I need to use my phone and it's been out of commission for hours. Grrrr
Thanks in advance.

No it would take at most 2 hour, I think your iPod hardisk is dying causing the delay and iTunes freeze.
Do a check on the iPod Hardisk using Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2

HT5085 how long does this take

How long does this itunes match take to finish

Wait at least an hour... and possibly longer, depends on many factors.

HT201210 how long is this restore supposed to take? my phone has been stuck on the same screen for 15 minutes

i plugged up my phone and it said i needed to restore it to factory settings so i did and now its stuck on a screen that shows i need to plug my phone up to itunes and restore it but my phone is already connected to itunes. ive tried resetting my phone and it just goes back to that screen and i have also tried to unplug and plug my phone back but it still keeps getting stuck at the 'preparing iphone for restore' bar thing at the top. how long is this process supposed to take? i was only trying to put one song on my phone and i had done it yesturday with no problem and the day before that. please help

I had this issue also. My last restore took 2 hours, despite restores under 1.x taking something like 20 minutes.
I don't think it's the videos/podcasts, as those don't show up until synchronizing after the restore anyway.
I asked this same question a while ago, but no one responded. I'm not sure if its normal.

With regard to what? I assume that since the link connected to your question was from the "How to update your iDevice" kb article, you are talking about seeing this behavior after you updated the iPad.
So, if that's the case, it really shouldn't take but a minute or so, if it even takes that long. If this has been going on for minutes and minutes, the update process is stuck now. You can try restarting the iPad and see if the iPad behaves normally. That might be all that you need to do to set things right again. If restarting just takes you back to this page loading again, you can try rebooting the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Restore Ipod? How Long Should This Take?

I received my replacement iPod back from Apple this afternoon. As a Windows 2000 user, I followed the instructions provided to reset the iPod for Windows. Namely to install the latest updater, restart PC, run updater... connect iPod and select Restore when the box became available.
The message then popped up saying Your iPod has been restored to factory settings and is restarting. Please leave the iPod connected and wait while it completes the restore process.
Just how long should this take? I hit restore at 14:15pm UK time, it's now 22:15 and it's still sat there with the same message, iPod blinking Do Not Disconnect and seemingly nothing else happening. Should it be restarted by now?
If it helps, am running Win 2000 SP4, used iPod updater 11-17-05, PC has 192mb RAM and is PIII 600Mhz.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
I clicked the X. It told me application couldn't be cancelled. Shut down PC anyway. Disconnected iPod. Apple logo shows up. Battery charger image shows, so I connected it to the mains charger... it sat there, thought about it and told me it was fully charged! Is now sat here quite happily accepting tunes from my iTunes library!
Thanks ever so much for the help, really appreciate it! Going to work tomorrow will seem more worthwhile having music to listen to!

About all you can do is wait until it finishes or you get an error message.

I have been sent an email saying my podcast was accepted and will be up on iTunes in a few hours. That was 5 hours ago. How long should this process take?

There's no fixed time. If it's been accepted - presumably you've been given a URL? - it should appear reasonably soon. However it can dake some days before it turns up in the search results. The podcast image, if you have one, may also take some days to appear.
