How long is too long for a DVD?
I've been burning DVD's now for quite some time and have always thought that between 3 and 4 hours was normal for a DVD to burn in. Other's are telling me they can make DVD's in minutes!!! What's up...? Why are these time's so grossly out of proportion? Can I upgrade something or buy a better computer, what? Please help, all advice welcome
Just burning data to a DVD is very different from creating a video DVD with an application such as iDVD. Just burning data to a DVD can indeed take only a few minutes, depending of course on how much data is being burned. If you're creating a video DVD, though, then the application has to first compress the video to MPEG-2, and that can take hours.
Without knowing what you're doing, we can't say whether your experience is normal or not.

I was wondering if anyone has a feel for how long it takes for the free DVD installation disks for Oracle Linux takes to arrive. I signed up for the delivery almost 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. The link to the DVD's is
http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=5129481&Act=119Hi, Beilswh:
I guess you are an Oracle customer and not an Oracle employee:
"I am a developer for a company that spends over one million dollars a year on Oracle licenses. I have ordered the free DVD's for Oracle Linux and I am planning to install it on My personal computer at home......."
Please correct me if I am wrong.
For the time being, There is no free Oracle Enterprise Linux installation discs delivery for outside customer, it only for Oracle Employee.
As an alternative option, I recommend you to download its ISO image from eDelivery:

Let me know your concerns please. -

Just purchased Lion...how long for the install wirelessly?
Yes, the installer will launch automatically and wait for you when you wake up to proceed with the Lion installation.
Good Luck, and remember to back up your data always before installing operating systems or OS patches. -
Rarcrack - how long for the file with 400 MB ?
Hi everyone
I'm trying to get the password in the encrypted file with 400 MB. It's more time I thought.
If someone have used the program, rarcrack, can you tell me know that get the password with special characters ?
For example:
The encrypted file with 400MB + the passwords "?_123_123_abc_@theworld".
How long for that ?
Thank you very much.
Last edited by luckybc (2014-12-26 06:29:07)Does rarcrack know how long the pass-phrase is or not?
Also, are you using a dictionary/removing obvious choices of pass-phrase to help speed up the process OR are you brute-forcing every single pass-phrase from the ASCII alpha-numeric alphabet + punctuation?
TL;DR: Assuming I've done the Maths correctly, a damn sight longer that you might have thought
Since you haven't said, I'm going to assume YES to the first question and I'm assuming you're brute forcing, to make the maths simpler.
For one character position you're looking at about 26 lower case + 26 upper case + 10 digits + 10 punctuation marks of some sort. So that's 72 characters. You've got 22 characters in the passphrase, so that's a potential of 72^22 = 7.26632672153 x 10^40 pass-phrase combinations.
Now let's assume you're doing this on modern hardware, with an SSD on a single machine which can process something at the rate of 200MB/s. That's two seconds a pass. That'll take you about 2.01842408931 x 10^37 hours.
Disclaimer: I'm working off the assumption that encryption has been used, and that rarcrack would decrypt the whole file on each attempt (pass-phrase protection and encryption are different things...). I don't actually know how it works, but for those that do know how it does, you can probably work out the time from the number of pass-phrase combinations.

how long for the I watch sport to be delivered from buying today 2nd May until it arrives at my door roughly?!
What did the email say that confirmed your order? It states on there an expected delivery date. This is a user to user support forum, so no one here would really know when it would be delivered, only Apple would, and they do not participate in the forum.

15 minute, 400 meg project too big for one DVD?
I have a 15 minute video in widescreen format that is about 400 megabytes in size according to the project info.
When attempting to burn, I am told that the project size is too big for a DVD and suggests I use a dual layer DVD.
I have over 390 gig available on my 1 TB hard drive.
I have no chapter markers
I have reduced the intro clip(s) to less than 30 seconds.
All to no avail. I am now burning the dvd using Toast, which is perfectly happy using 400 megabytes of my DVD to burn the disk.
What assets could iDVD possibly be adding to use up the remaining 4 gig of disk space, and how might I view them and delete them?
I know this is an old topic...I've read lots of posts including one similar to mine. In most cases people are attempting to burn over 1 hour of video. In the one case similar to mine, the person had full length video in each chapter marker (or some such issue). I have none.
In my case it is a 15 minute video (granted its in HD/widescreen format). Why, with a project size well under the disc size, does it refuse to burn due to size limits? Clearly the project info does not reflect iDVD's actual size requirements for the project.
Why not?
Finally, changing to 4x3 is not an option and yes, I have tried changing the compression algorithm from best performance to higher quality, though this is supposedly for video longer than 60 minutes.Hi
Free space only referes to Start-up (boot) hard disk. iDVD can't use any other for scratch files.
25Gb is my minimum setting.
15 minutes video - to much indicates that it might have been droped it into iDVD window
but here landed it into a "button area" - not movie area.
Recommendation in case of this is to move it out (or start a new iDVD project)
and in iDVD use the Import function instead. Now it lands where it should.
And dep on Your encoding choise the movie can be up to 60 or 120 minutes long
(menu included => simple menu = more movie)
Other alternative is feeding iDVD strange video formats that can give many
interesting problems eg .wmv, .avi, .mpeg4 etc.

How Hot Is Too Hot For Late 2008 Macbook Unibody?
I'm still in the process of adjusting to life in the world of Macs and I was wondering just how hot is too hot for the CPU to be running at with the Unibody 13 inch Macbook?
The sensors are set to put the computer in thermal shutdown at 212F to prevent catastrophic damage.

How long is normal for iTunes Match to go?
I seem to have it go through and recyle umpteen times and has now been going for over 20 hours.
This is on a base of about 11,000 songs and darned if I know whether my tv programs are included or not.
It seems to go thorugh steps then add a few hundred more songs each pass
Very confusing and challenginng to wait for it
How much 'updating' can it do?
One other killer quiestion - if you delete purchased songs from your machine (as in when your storage space is getting too big and costing too much?) - how do you permanently remove something from your database?
Thanks as always for any insights
GeoffI am not surprised to hear it is taking a long time. I signed up when Match first became available. It took several days before it finally finished. I had maybe half as many tracks as you. Also, prepare for this ahead of time: Even after it finishes there will still be some tracks that do not match. This still happens even though iTunes Match has been around for a year.
To permanently delete a track from iTunes Match, check the box in the delete confirmation that says "Also delete this item from iCloud". -
How long for Time Machine backup with USB v. 1
My hard drive might be failing. I'm going to backup with Time Machine for
the first time ever. I'll be using a 1 TB external hard drive. My Mac only
has a USB v. 1, so how long should this take? I read where someone said
that Time Machine said it would take DAYS to do it. Say it ain't so!! Any
ideas our there? Thanks!See this for an indication of transfer rates these are theoretical speeds - real world is slower!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_device_bit_rates
USB 1.1 runs about 1.5MB/s at full rate.
How much data is on your internal disk?
Wolfram Alpha says 1TB would take 7 days & 17 hours.
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1TB+at+1.5+MB%2Fs
I would add more days to that time to account for the fact that USB 1 is slower (more like 0.7MB/s in my tests from years ago).
This is an appalling idea - your disk could easily stop working in the time it takes to copy.
Fortunately you have got the spec wrong on this iMac…
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-20-inch-alu minum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
It has USB2 ports & Firewire - connect directly to one of those & the time will be much less (more like 1/2 a day). -
How long for updates and bug fixes usually?
I'm new to Logic and even new to Macs. I'm just wondering how long does it usually take for Apple to release bug fixes and updates to Logic?
Also, how long did Apple take to get around to providing worthwhile updates to Logic 7? Were there substantial updates changed work flow, functionality, etc?
Basically I'm wondering how long until Logic 8 will be more stable and complete?Logic 7 was never updated so as to provide any significant changes in workflow over its initial release. But apparently L7 so intrinsically broken that they abandoned any effort to fix it. Instead, they developed Logic 8.
L8 has some very obvious bugs, yes. They need to be fixed yesterday. But as usual, Apple is dragging its feet in this regard.
To your question, how long.... well, L7 updates occurred about every 4 months. There's no telling if they'll be on a more conscientious schedule for releasing L8 updates. They only offer end-users one choice: wait and see what happens. -
How long for Solaris 10 6/06 CDs?
How long before Sun will have the Solaris Media Kit containing the latest release 6/06 for purchase? Just curious.
Thanks.I've seen this before. Sometimes the installation doesn't prompt for a root password, and you can't login as root. Just power-off the system and start in failsafe mode. Then mount the root partition(it asks you if you'd like to do that) and edit /[mountpoint]/etc/shadow and remove the encrypted passwd string:
root:R1yP.BOK1xTeU:6445::::::
becomes
root:::::::
Then reboot, choose command-line login and log in as root.
