In DVD studio Pro,i had been building for good 2 hours now 64% complete.

Hi,
I used Compressor (DVD:Best Quality 90 minutes) seting for my 30 minut video. After i imported to DVD studio pro i started building prosses . I am concern with time that its taken in building .Is it posible that DVD is doing what Compressor was doing ? It is been building for good 2 hours now 64% complete. Did i do somthing rong ???

Multiple threads in various forums isn't going to help this go any faster. It's quite possible your workflow is at fault, or not.
If you have motion backgrounds in your menus, any sort of graphics, you should track down what DVD SP is doing with these elements and what format these elements are in.

DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or comparable program?

DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or a comparable software available? Or are there some internal fixes that I have not found. Preferences that will allow a clean product to be delivered?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I first import all my assets, build my DVD, which may include one or more menus, pictures, music, etc. I use the simulator to test all aspects of video before burning. Making sure that the end jump works, if I add chapters, going to each chapter making sure buttons and end jumps for the chapters work. When I am satisfied I then go to burn/format function and delete or reuse any folders that the computer advises. The resolution is SD, display mode 16.9, Lossless linking, red laser, single, one side 12 cm. Thats about it. Haven't had a problem in the past just wondering what I could be doing wrong now. I am workingo on an imac, MAC OS X, 10.7.4, 2.93 GHz, Intel Core 17, Memory 8GB, 133mHz,DDR3.
Response I get is, unknown disc, please check disc again."

I am making multiple DVD's of roughly 50 hours of footage on DVD Studio pro with 4 separate menus for 4 different 'parts' or series if you will. 50 hours - 20 episodes - 4 parts of 5 episodes each. What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's, what is the process, what size DVD RW should I buy, what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn. Any advice or insight is welcome.

>>What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's<<
20 episodes totaling 50 hours equals about 2.5 hours per episode assuming all episodes have the same duration. Fitting 2.5 hours onto one single layer DVD would require a low bit rate which means quality wouldn't be anywhere near best, but that's a judgement call you'll have to make based on several factors. For example; if there is not much motion in the video (talking heads, etc), you can get by with a lower bit rate and may not notice any quality difference.
>>what is the process>>
The process is essentially the same as it is when authoring a regular DVD with 2 hours or less of content. However, with as many discs as you'd need to complete this "set," you'll need to create a separate DVD Studio Project for each disc. Basically, you'd use one of Compressor's DVD Presets (or customize a preset) to create an MPEG--2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.AC3). Import both of those assets into your DVD Studio Pro project for authoring and burning.
If you want to keep one episode per disc, DVD Studio Pro does have a 150 minute preset or you could use dual-layer discs with a higher bit rate for better quality. Again; your call.
>>what size DVD RW should I buy<<
Size? 12cm. Capacity? Single layer, single sided DVD discs (DVD-5) have a rated capacity of 4.7Gb (4.37Gb actual), including menus. If you use single layer discs and want to keep the quality reasonably good, you'd need at least 50 discs to complete this "set" with each disc holding roughly 2 hours of footage if you keep the menu on each disc simple. Or, you could use dual-layer discs (DVD-9) which have a capacity of about 7.95Gb - almost doubling the recordable capacity. There are also dual-sided, dual-layer discs available (DVD-18) but they are relatively expensive and have to be manually turned over to continue playback ... but they do have roughly 15.9Gb capacity.
>>what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn<<
Exactly; the quality is dependent on the bit rate chosen, as well as the quality of the compression. Using compression markers where needed can greatly increase the quality of playback but will most likely increase the file size of the compressed video. For the best quality, keeping the bit rate as high as possible allowed under the DVD specification will yield the best quality but some DVD players may choke if the bit rate is too high. For best quality I typically aim for a bit rate around 7.6 to 8.0Mbps but that will only allow about one hour of footage.
Naturally, if you decrease the bit rate, you can fit more footage onto the disc but quality will be sacraficed.   Here's a chart approximating DVD bit rates and durations for single layer discs (does not include space for menus):
3.5Mbps - 120 minutes
5.0Mbps -   95 minutes
6.0Mbps -   82 minutes
7.6Mbps -   65 minutes
8.0Mbps -   60 minutes

As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire. It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

I am backing up my computer to an external hard drive using Time Machine. It has been at 288.91 "used" for a while... should I just let it ride? It's been going for about 7 hours now.

It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

Give it more time..depending on how large the library is it may take a while. Be patient

The rainbow circle has been spinning for about 4 hours now and I can't do anything on my MacBook? How can i get it to stop?

The rainbow loading circle has been loading for about 4 hours now on my log in page for MacBooks when you first turn it on.

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.

By installing, do you mean the progress bar is stuck? Since this has been reported more than once recently, it's probably a server issue at the moment.

I just tried updating my iPhone 5 to the new iOS7 and it keeps saying the activation server can not be reached...My phone has been down for almost an hour now. Can anyone help? thank you

Too many people are flooding Apple's servers, everyone is having this issue, try every so often, or wait until tomorrow.

Hopefully it's been resolved by now - I have no idea how large each one of those files are. The progress bar tells you; FWIW, I only download one at a time - makes it easier and faster and you can choose to do the next one when you have time.

Asset encoding has been showing for almost 12 hours now. How long should it take?

How long should it take to burn a 27 minute movie. It states that it is encoding video with 1 minute left. Has been that way for 9 hours now.Any suggestions?

Hi
Encoding time depends on several things (mosty common are)
• Free Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) get's low eg less than 5Gb - and encoding time get's stupidly long
I never go under 25Gb free spae
• What You feed iDVD. Some Codecs/Fileformats just get's encoded stright of - but others needs to be converted first (re-coded) by iDVD first - can also take eons of time.
So Please tell where Your material came from and in what Codec/File format
• What Mac was Used to encode. My Mac G3 600MHz - took about 30 hours per hour movie. My dG5 2GHz was close to 1:1 - My new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz i7 - Have not tried yet - May be even faster ?
Yours Bengt W

Have you downloaded and installed an App Store app that you downloaded free from some website instead of from the App Store? If so, that's a stolen app, and you need to delete it.

Dvd studio pro 3 crashes on build without warning

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2) Can anyone suggest possible problems I have this project ive managed to burn it once. Now I am un able to burn it. Its quite large 3.9G it gets almost all the way through compilling the menue system upto menue 4 the bombs crashes the programe and gives no message ?????

Hi Louise - you say that you've managed to burn it once... this means that you could copy that disc instead of going through the build/format process each time.
You can use Toast to copy it easily enough, or indeed you could use Disk Utility.
However, thinking about your problem some more, are you able to create disk image of your work by doing a build/format to your hard drive?

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF automatic updates?

as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates". But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates". If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.
