I simply need help placing my FCP sequence on DVD - The basics

Hello All,
I've completed a sequence on FCP that I would like to place on DVD. I have followed the instructions in Final Cut Pro - Beyond the Basics, but apparently I'm not. The files are showing up on the DVD, but the file transfer process never stops. When I force a quit, and open one of the icons on the DVD (I believe one is sound, and the other video) The compressor program opens, but nothing happens as expected. I'm sure this should be easier, but I may be moving down the wrong path. Can someone provide a road sign, a map, GPS, ...?
I know this is vague, but I am utterly confused. My aplogies.
Thanks.
DG

Hello David,
Thanks for the quick reply. To be honest, I've been working out of the Apple Pro Training Series books, as they were a bit more user friendly. I'll go back to the manuals. As far as versions of software is concerned. It's all new stuff, purchased in the last month: OS X (10.4.10), FCP 6.0, etc.
The sequence is DV/DVCPro - NTSC

  • Need help solving my FCP OS9.2 update problem

    Hey all you maciacs. I just bought my second mac yesterday (used of course) and it had OS 9.1 on it. Well I was trying to install FCP on there under OS 9.2 and I went to upgrade and it kept saying system error 10. So I kept trying to figure things out and go on the internet and download OS 10 something. Now I was able to install FCP on my G3 (it's used as well) but I don't get real time effects.
    So long story short I stayed up about 6 hours trying to figure this thing out then it gets stuck on the internet and I restart but it doesn't reboot all the way a question mark and the half face blinks on and off.
    I need help is there a way to get the G3 to be at 500 MHZ speed to give me those real time effects or would it be cheaper to get this thing going on this G4? Who out there knows and cares to help a brother struggling?
    Is it u?

    Hi, finallyamacman -
    OK, it's a G4 (AGP) model.
    I just bought my second mac yesterday (used of course) and it had OS 9.1 on it. Well I was trying to install FCP on there under OS 9.2...
    Does it have OS 9.1, or OS 9.2.1 or OS 9.2.2? If you updated it from OS 9.1, did you use a CD or a download update?
    What OS 9 Install CDs do you have available? Specifically, retail ones - all retail OS 9 Install CDs have a white label with a large gold 9.
    So I kept trying to figure things out and go on the internet and download OS 10 something.
    You can not upgrade OS 9 (any version) to OSX by using download updates - they just don't exist. To get OSX on that machine, an initial Install of OSX must be done using a retail package disk set, then that can be upgraded within its base version using download updaters.
    ...it doesn't reboot all the way a question mark and the half face blinks on and off.
    That indicates the machine can not find a usable OS from which to boot.
    This can result from many events - the OS on the hard drive has become damaged in some way; one or more of its critical components has been moved out of the System Folder, such as the Extensions folder; there is directory corruption; or something else.
    It can also result on some models from the internal battery being too weak or dead. Since it is a used machine, it is reasonable to assume it was left sitting unplugged for a while before you got it; this will drain the battery much more rapidly than would happen during normal usage. I'd recommend replacing the battery - you can get one at places like RadioShack for about US$17, cheaper on-line.

    I need help installing Lightroom 5.  I tried the trial and it does not have an uninstall feature.  Thus, I'm trying to activate with my new $9.99 per month subscription and it simply will not work. Very frustrating you already took my money and no results, and very difficult to get help.

    Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
    Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
    Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then?

  • Need help in modifying mapping parameters of out the box mapping

    Hi There,
    I am a new bee to dac.
    Need help in modifying mapping parameters of out the box mapping, which is invoked by DAC task.
    We got a requirement to edit mapping parameter. When I go and see parameter under mappings tab in a mapping, I could not see any values in it.
    But when I set any value, and validate it. It is successful.
    Is it right way to do it?
    What my concern is, When I initially go and see parameter values under maapings tab in a mapping, they are blank.
    Where is it storing these values?
    Thanks,
    Rag

    If you modify mapping then u have to create new task in dac and dac itself craete parameter file at run time. if you want to add more parameters then do it in dac system parameters tab.
    Thanks
    Jay.

    I need help hacking into my ipod i forgot the password and i cant factory reset it because the power button is broken?!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The Adobe Staff and PRE_help presence in this forum is undefined.
    The replies from here are not instantaneous. But, your fellow users all try to respond as timely as possible.
    What is your computer operating system?
    From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13....direct from Adobe as the tryout or the purchased product? If the purchased product, do you now have a purchased serial number to go with the installation files?
    Where are you stopped in the installation....at the Sign In or before? Is the faulting module cited in any messages? What are the error messages?
    The usual questions:
    1. Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the computer programs as administrator?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    5. Are you installing the program to the default location on the Local Disc C (if Windows).
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details that you post. Subsequent troubleshooting may include:
    deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

    Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Deleting the iTunes account is not the solution as you will very likely lose any and all purchases ever made with the account.

    Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

  • Need help with non-video clip transitions on the FCP timeline...

    Hi all, I am struggling with this problem with the FCP timeline: I have a mix of things; .motn includes, .psd includes, etc. and I want to put a transition between them and a normal video clip, BUT, as u can guess, it does not work well. I guess because FCP can't see the frames inside the Motion file, it won't let u do a cross fade or whatever with any amount of time applied to it. So what to do?
    I started to modify the motion files but realized this would not work, as I often use bits of one motion animation in various places starting and ending at different timecodes. So i need to be able to place a transition at the beg/end of motion clip on the fcp timeline. I started doing this:
    1) place a slug above the track of a joining of motion/video clip
    2) place the transitions on both ends of the slug.
    Is this the way to go? I have dozens of these that I need to fix asap, so all advice is appreciated!
    coocoo

    Hi Cooco,
    there are several ways to find out whether it is a [*matter of handles*|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_handles.html]
    One is to select the clip>hit the S key (slip tool) clickandhold it . A brown line drawing a rectangle will appear and will continue beyond in and out point revealing the available clip's handles. If not handles are available then the brown line will stay within the clip on the timeline.
    Visit the link I sent to you to more understand handle matters.

  • Need help with SQL for selecting ID where the sequence does not match..

    I have the following dilemma:
    Database contains IDs as follows:
    Incident#, Case#, & Part Sequence#
    example
    Record 1
    Incident_Number = 123456
    Case_Number = 1
    Part_sequence = 1
    Record 2
    Incident_Number = 123456
    Case_Number = 1
    Part_sequence = 2
    Sometimes the user will delete (let's say) Record 2 after creating a new Record 3
    So now the sequencing goes as follows:
    Record 1
    Incident_Number = 123456
    Case_Number = 1
    Part_sequence = 1
    Record 2
    Incident_Number = 123456
    Case_Number = 1
    Part_sequence = 3
    Now there will no longer be a Part_Sequence 2
    Need a SQL to select all records where the maximum part sequence > than the count of Incident_number||'-'||Case_number
    I tried the following:
    select a.incident_number||'-'||a.case_number||'-'||a.part_sequence
    from chsuser.a_compl_summary a
    where a.entry_date >= '01-may-2011'
    and max(a.part_sequence) > count(distinct a.incident_number||'-'||a.case_number)I end up getting a ORA-00934: group function is not allowed here (highlighting on the Max(a.part_sequence) portion.
    Any suggestions/hints
    Thanks

    select  incident_number || '-' || case_number || '-' || part_sequence
      from  (
             select  incident_number,
                     case_number,
                     part_sequence,
                     max(part_sequence) over(partition by incident_number,case_number) max_seq,
                     count(*) over(partition by incident_number,case_number) cnt
               from  chsuser.a_compl_summary
               where entry_date >= DATE '2011-05-01'
      where cnt != max_seq
