IPhone convert songs to lower data rate bug

When I use iTunes to convert my music to 128kBit/s before copying most of the covers are lost on my iPhone 4s.
When I import the music without converting it, the covers of the songs are displayed correctly on my iPhone.
So what can I do to fix it?
I use the newest software on my mac and iPhone (OSX 10.7.3, iOS 5.1, iTunes 10.6)

Also, as a note, I did everything I could to remove the other data in the past. However, it seems the files are corrupted, hence why i completely restored my iphone. Before, it took about 2.5gb space, after the restore, 700 mb, after the sync and resync, 1.28gb

How do you fix error message "data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate".

When trying to burn a DVD it will go through the encoding step and at 98% we see the message 'data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate". We need help to correct this so we can complete burning to DVD.

What did you export from Premiere?
Did you use the MPEG2-DVD preset... and did you make any changes to the preset?

Lower Data Rates for VoWLAN

When I take a look in the deployment guides I could see that I should not use data rates in the 802.11a network below 12mbit. We do not expect more than 6 calls and 8 phones on one access point but would like to raise the coverage by using 6mbit data rate. We could not place more access points. Is there someone with experience using lower data rates?
Using:1252 Access Points and WISM Controller

Allowing speeds from 6 Mbps can technically work, but the recommendation is also to avoid retries... the larger your cell, the more chances you have to have multipath issues making packets fail. With a voice deployment, if you have more than 1 % error rate, your MOS degrades below 4.1 (the quality of the call is affected and users start complaining that voice conversation is unstable, choppy etc).
So allowing 6 Mbps is fine, but the result will depend on the quality of your RF environment...
hope it helps

Event Log: Interface Dot11Radio0, parent lost: Had to lower data rate

Hi,
AIR-AP1242
Firmware: 12.3(8)JEB
AP -> WGB mobil station
The event log from WGB have often this warning:
%DOT!!-4-UPLINK_DOWN: Interface Dot11Radio0, parent lost: Had to lower data rate
Way?...
It is the first installation with this description.

Is the client able to associate to the AP and transfer data. This error message genrally indicate a weak signal strength or a bad link. Move the client to a different location and check if that works.

AVC INTRA 100 INGESTED CLIPS SHOWING MYSTERIOUSLY LOW DATA RATES

Just finished my first P2 chroma key shoot using AVC Intra 100. I have ingested and transcoded using log and transfer using Pro Res 422 HQ (we shot 1080 25p) Each clip is showing a data rate of around 20mbps, yet the white paper on Pro Res suggests 200mbps data rates. Even the AVC intra files are showing data rates of around 20mbps-despite the 100mbps AVC Intra- IHow come the files are showing such low data rates? How come they are not reading 200mbps??? What did I do wrong or what am I not understanding about data rates??? Thanks

Before all Hi Tom Hi Klaus and Hi String
i was looking at the forum for some one that has having the same problem than i and found it!
I'm using this new HPX-300 with the AVC-INTRA 100 codec. And when i import the content using log and transfer (final cut 7!!!) with avc-intra native plug-in, all that, to apple prores 422 hq compression the size of the video is like 14 mb/s is that right? and the quality doesn't look so good too, but this i fink is because of my computer.... AND THE INFORMATION OF THE VIDEO IN THE INFO WINDOW (more info part) IS SAYING:
DIMENDION 1920x1080
CODEC: AI16, LINEAR PMC, TIMECODE ---> why not apple Pro Res 422 (hq) ???
COLOR PROFILE:HD (1-1-1) ---> This should't be 4-2-2 ?!?!?!?!?!
If some one can explain to me who does this work i apreciate!
And all ways Tanks for sharing!

WMIC C3205: radio link break due to lower data rate

Hi,
I use a WMIC C3205 within a MAR3200 as workgroup bridge in a test bed environment. The other side of the radio link is made of LAP 1242AG controlled by a WLC2006. Only one AP is used for the time being and the link test results provide RSSI around -40dB.
Once the WMIC is associated, messages listed below are displayed when data traffic is started (IP camera, IP traffic generator).
When the WMIC is running the release 12.3(2)JL3, following traces are displayed once:
*Mar 1 00:19:18.873: %DOT11-4-UPLINK_DOWN: Interface Dot11Radio0, parent lost: Had to lower data rate
*Mar 1 00:19:21.950: %DOT11-4-UPLINK_ESTABLISHED: Interface Dot11Radio0, Associated To AP tdst_01_ap1 0018.74fb.e75f [None]
The link break duration is around 3s. When the WMIC is running the release 12.3(2)JL1, the same events occurred every 9s, but the link break duration is less than 200ms.
Does anybody know the source of this behaviour?
Best Regards,
Alain-Claude

Hi Sandesh,
Thanks for your answer. Normally, no other wlan are using the selected channel, but I will check again. My surprise is also coming from the unlike behaviour depending on the software release. I work still on this problem and will let you know.

A sorting songs by the "date added" bug on iPhone and iTunes?

So I've run accross a bug (maybe) that has really been annoying me for a few months now. It has been present since like iOS5 beta 3. It has to do with how my songs are sorted on my iPhone. I've always had my songs sorted by "date added" and I have never had a problem with them showing up in that way. During the beta, my songs started showing up backwards on my phone. My oldest songs would show up first on my phone's iPod even though in my iTunes they were sorted with the newest songs on top. I figured this was a bug and that it would be fixed by apple in the later versions of iTunes and after the official release of iOS5, but I was wrong. It didn't fix after I receieved my 4S. On a side note, I was having this problem initially on my iPhone 4, and it continued on to my iPhone 4S. This is probably one of the MOST ANNOYING problems I've had with my iPhone because my car displays my songs in the order they are on my phone too, and in my car I have to use a wheel and not a touchscreen to scroll all the way to the bottom (you get my point). I haven't actually found a fix for this to where everything works as it is supposed to, but today as I was tinkering with my iTunes to finally fix this problem I decided to sort all my songs by "newest songs modified" just to see if it would fix my sorting problem. It worked. My phone now has all my new songs on top of each of my playlists in ONLY the playlists I choose to have sorted in that specific way. After I realized this fixed my problem, I tried to re-sort all my songs by "date added" again just to see if it would fix my problem because having them sorted by "date modified" is an annoying problem I just dont want to have. It didn't work. So right now, I am sorting my songs on my phone by "date modified" because "date added" doesnt sort them the way it is supposed to when any playlist is transferred from my iTunes to my iPhone. Anyone know whats up? How can I let apple know about this annoying problem? Could it just be me and my computer? I've gone through multiple versions of iTunes, iOS5s including beta, and I've had the problem on two different iPhones. Coincidence? By the way I'm running windows 7, and no, I haven't searched much for this problem on forums or on google because it seems too specific to my situation (and im too lazy to look hard enough).

my problem started with the recent upgrade and this idea (sort on PC iTunes by date modified) worked. I did have to remove my playlist from my phone first and then resync to get things to respond but it seems to work. Why on earth Apple does not provide a mechanism for sorting ON THE F*&^ING PHONE is beyond me. For a company who's mantra is building things that 'they'd want to use' this gaff cannot possible fit into that paradigm.

My iPhone plays songs at low volume unless I replay the song. Why?

When I play a song in iTunes on my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3), the song volume is too low until I restart the song and then the volume is normal. What's going on, and how can I fix it? It doesn't seem related to the Sound limiting, because it happens whether that's on or off.

Make sure you take the clear protective cover off the front glass. It covers the speaker and makes it nearly impossible to hear through the earpiece until it is removed.

PGC...data rate too high

Hallo,
message
nunew33, "Mpeg not valid error message" #4, 31 Jan 2006 3:29 pm describes a certain error message. The user had problems with an imported MPEG movie.
Now I receive the same message, but the MPEG that is causing the problem is created by Encore DVD itself!?
I am working with the german version, but here is a rough translation of the message:
"PGC 'Weitere Bilder' has an error at 00:36:42:07.
The data rate of this file is too high for DVD. You must replace the file with one of a lower data rate. - PGC Info: Name = Weitere Bilder, Ref = SApgc, Time = 00:36:42:07"
My test project has two menus and a slide show with approx. 25 slides and blending as transition. The menus are ok, I verified that before.
First I thought it was a problem with the audio I use in the slide show. Because I am still in the state of learning how to use the application, I use some test data. The audio tracks are MP3s. I learned already that it is better to convert the MP3s to WAV files with certain properties.
I did that, but still the DVD generation was not successful.
Then I deleted all slides from the slide show but the first. Now the generation worked!? As far as a single slide (an image file) can not have a bitrate per second, and there was no sound any more, and as far as the error message appears AFTER the slide shows are generated, while Encore DVD is importing video and audio just before the burning process, I think that the MPEG that is showing the slide show is the problem.
But this MPEG is created by Encore DVD itself. Can Encore DVD create Data that is not compliant to the DVD specs?
The last two days I had to find out the cause for a "general error". Eventually I found out that image names must not be too long. Now there is something else, and I still have to just waste time for finding solutions for apparent bugs in Encore DVD. Why doesn't the project check find and tell me such problems? Problem is that the errors appear at the end of the generation process, so I always have to wait for - in my case - approx. 30 minutes.
If the project check would have told me before that there are files with file names that are too long, I wouldn't have had to search or this for two days.
Now I get this PGC error (what is PGC by the way?), and still have no clue, cause again the project check didn't mention anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Christian Kirchhoff

Hallo,
thanks, Ruud and Jeff, for your comments.
The images are all scans of ancient paintings. And they are all rather dark. They are not "optimized", meaning they are JPGs right now (RGB), and they are bigger then the resolution for PAL 3:4 would require. I just found out that if I choose "None" as scaling, there is no error, and the generation of the DVD is much, much faster.
A DVD with a slide show containing two slides and a 4 second transition takes about 3 minutes to generate when the scaling is set to something other than "None". Without scaling it takes approx. 14 seconds. The resulting movies size is the same (5,35 MB).
I wonder why the time differs so much. Obviously the images have to be scaled to the target size. But it seems that the images are not scaled only once, that those scaled versions of the source images are cached, and those cached versions are used to generate then blend effect, but for every frame the source images seem to be scaled again.
So I presume that the scaling - unfortunately - has an effect on the resulting movie, too, and thus influences the success of the process of DVD generation.
basic situation:
good image > 4 secs blend > bad image => error
variations:
other blend times don't cause an error:
good image > 2 secs blend > bad image => success
good image > 8 secs blend > bad image => success
other transitions cause an error, too:
good image > 4 secs fade to black > bad image => error
good image > 4 secs page turn > bad image => error
changing the image order prevents the error:
bad image > 4 secs blend > good image => success
changing the format of the bad image to TIFF doesn't prevent the error.
changing colors/brightness of the bad image: a drastic change prevents the error. I adjusted the histogram and made everything much lighter.
Just a gamma correction with values between 1.2 and 2.0 didn't help.
changing the image size prevents the error. I decreased the size. The resulting image was still bigger than the monitor area, thus it still had to be scaled a bit by Encore DVD, but with this smaller version the error didn't occur. The original image is approx. 2000 px x 1400 px. Decreasing the size by 50% helped. Less scaling (I tried 90%, 80%, 70% and 60%, too) didn't help.
using a slightly blurred version (gaussian blur, 2 px, in Photoshop CS) of the bad image prevents the error.
My guess is that the error depends on rather subtle image properties. The blur doesn't change the images average brightness, the balance of colors or the size of the image, but still the error was gone afterwards.
The problem is that I will work with slide shows that contain more images than two. It would be too time consuming to try to generate the DVD over and over again, look at which slide an error occurs, change that slide, and then generate again. Even the testing I am doing right now already "ate" a couple of days of my working time.
Only thing I can do is to use a two image slide show and test image couple after image couple. If n is the number of images, I will spend (n - 1) times 3 minutes (which is the average time to create a two slides slide how with a blend). But of course I will try to prepare the images and make them as big as the monitor resolution, so Encore DVD doesn't have to scale the images any more. That'll make the whole generation process much shorter.
If I use JPGs or TIFFs, the pixel aspect ratio is not preserved when the image is imported. I scaled one of the images in Photoshop, using a modified menu file that was installed with Encore DVD, because it already has the correct size for PAL, the pixel aspect ratio and the guides for the save areas. I saved the image as TIFF and as PSD and imported both into Encore DVD. The TIFF is rendered with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio and NOT with the D1/DV PAL aspect ration that is stored in the TIFF. Thus the image gets narrowed and isn't displayed the way I wanted it any more. Only the PSD looks correct. But I think I saw this already in another thread...
I cannot really understand why the MPEG encoding engine would produce bit rates that are illegal and that are not accepted afterwards, when Encore DVD is putting together all the stuff. Why is the MPEG encoding engine itself not throwing an error during the encoding process? This would save the developer so much time. Instead they have to wait until the end, thinking everything went right, and find out then that there was a problem.
Still, if sometime somebody finds out more about the whole matter I would be glad about further explanations.
Best regards,
Christian

PE2 Data Rate too high

I am trying to burn a 15 minute video straight to the DVD. During the burning process (after rendering for about 10 hours) I got the following message: "The data rate of this file is too high for DVD. You must replace the file with one of a lower data rate. -PGC Info: name=, ref=Apgc, time= 00:07:44:23"
I successfully burned the same project a week ago; my only changes were adding some transitions and a few stills.
My project is video (most converted from VHS), music (ripped from CD or itunes), Audio (narrative recorded at home) and stills (almost all reduced to ~300Kb).
I am in the middle now of trying to burn to a file, but the error spooks me.
Any thoughts

Ned,
Some place, you have set the Data-rate above the DVD-spec. of 10 MB/s for ALL Assets, or have spikes above that. Now, since this is for all streams, Audio + Video, something below 8 works best. Then, if there is a momentary spike, it falls below the threshold of 10. In your Export settings, this has been set to high, either by you, or the program. PE is pretty smart about spikes, but can get fooled by the Assets, sometimes.
Check your output settings. I find that a setting of ~7 max. is better for player compatibility, though PE does allow one to go to 8 max.

AP PHY data rates

Hello,
AP 1600 has PHY data rates up to 300 Mbps, and 2600 up to 450 Mbps.
With 1600 AP, if I have a client connected at 300 Mbps on the radio 5 GHz (MCS index 15, 40 Mhz) and another client connected at 130 Mbps on the radio 2.4 GHz at 130 Mbps (MCS index 15, 20 Mhz); how will the AP handle the traffic ?
Will the AP force one of the client to lower data rates, or will it drop some paquets ?
I'm a little bit confuse about the behavior in high density environment,
Thanks a lot,
Regards

Gerald,
Wi-fi is half duplex medium and data rate does not equal throughput
Here is a good guide on the issue:
http://www.speedguide.net/faq_in_q.php?qid=374
As wi-fi performance is determined by the client, AP and external factors such as interference, wi-fi overhead, distance, loss, etc. figure throughput somewhere @ 50 - 60% of data rate at best. On top of that, there will be tcp/ip overhead too.
It will always drop to the lowest common denominator. So if the switchport is only 100 mbps, that is your bottleneck for traffic that goes over it.
Use some tools like iperf or jperf to do some client-server testing between laptops to see what the actual throughput is.
If you are using MacBooks, there is a great app in the Mac App Store called WiFiPerf

PGC DATA RATE CS5

Hi,
I have a issue when trying to burn a dvd with encore cs5, I get a error message before the burning process.
PGC "sequence 1" has an error at 01:12:43:03.
The data rate of this file is to high for DVD. You must replace the file of a lower data rate.
This is my work flow
Footage is XDCAM EX 1440x1080/50i 25fps pal widescreen.
in premiere I use the direct export setting to Mpeg-2 dvd. settings as in attached image. Once exported, I close premiere, open encore, import the video and audio file and place on the timeline, make chapters ect. press build, and before burn. ERROR.

There were what I called "persistent" pgc errors in CS3 - meaning that even with good workflow, some users got pgc errors that could not be solved but, in most instances, could be worked around.
Such errors have not occurred in CS4 or CS5. A pgc error in CS4 or CS5 is usually more specific (the data rate message for example).
FYI, I got the pgc errors in CS3. I still have not upgraded my PC, but finally loaded CS4 to test an issue. No pgc error in a project that had one in CS3.
So I agree you should be looking for pgc errors only in CS4 or CS5, or that include the data rate message.
But Jon nailed this I suspect!

WLC Data Rates behaviour

Hello everyone!
I have some questions about the data rates configuration in WLC. I've been reading Cisco documentation and this forum, but as I've seen some contradictory information I would like you to clarify me some points.
I want to disable 802.11b clients, so for that I'm going to disable 1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps data rates (other option could be set these as supported only). Then, I have to assign at least one of the other data rates as mandatory...
I could think in one of these three options
Option 1: all 802.11g data rates as mandatory. In this case, as far as I understand:
Broadcast are sent to the lowest data rate
Multicast are sent to the highest data rate (but if a client is connected to other data rate than the highest, then multicast frames are sent to this data rate supported by the client, is that right??). Basically, you cannot be sure at which data rate multicast frames are sent as it can change depending on the clients.
Clients can connect as soon as they support one of the mandatory data rate
Option 2: one 802.11g data rate as mandatory. This would define better the cell limits.
Broadcast and multicast are sent at the same data rate
Clients can connect if they support the mandatory data rate
Option 3: set two data rates as mandatory (or the OFDM required data rates: 6,12, 24Mbps), and the others as supported
Broadcast are sent at the lowest data rate
Multicast are sent at the highest data rate (shifting back to the lowest if a customer cannot connect to this data rate)
Clients can connect if they support at least one of the mandatory data rates.
Am I right with this assumptions? I have read some other different behaviors, like broadcast and multicast are sent at the same common data rate...
I hope I have explained myself...
Thank you very much for your support.
Carolina

Hello,
thank you Scott and George!
I read the post, and it is ok, and I finally have found some information in Cisco's website:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/7-4/configuration/guides/consolidated/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED/b_cg74_CONSOLIDATED_chapter_01011.html#ID2482
"Access points running recent Cisco IOS versions transmit multicast frames at the highest configured basic rate and management frames at the lowest basic mandatory rates, can cause reliability problems. Access points running LWAPP or autonomous Cisco IOS should transmit multicast and management frames at the lowest configured basic rate. Such behavior is necessary to provide good coverage at the cell's edge, especially for unacknowledged multicast transmissions where multicast wireless transmissions might fail to be received. Because multicast frames are not retransmitted at the MAC layer, clients at the edge of the cell might fail to receive them successfully. If reliable reception is a goal, multicast frames should be transmitted at a low data rate. If support for high data rate multicast frames is required, it might be useful to shrink the cell size and disable all lower data rates.
Depending on your requirements, you can take the following actions:
If you need to transmit multicast data with the greatest reliability and if there is no need for great multicast bandwidth, then configure a single basic rate, that is low enough to reach the edges of the wireless cells.
If you need to transmit multicast data at a certain data rate in order to achieve a certain throughput, you can configure that rate as the highest basic rate. You can also set a lower basic rate for coverage of nonmulticast clients."
Based on your experience, does it have any sense to have configured all datarates as mandatory? This is the current configuration I have in our controllers but it wasn't done by me.
Thanks.
Carolina

Data Rates & Cell Size

Hi all.
A few days back i was going through an article on High Density Wireless Deployments , and came through an extract which disabling Lower Data Rates , helps to reduce cell size.
How doe this work ? I mean are we exclusively allowing only those clients to associate by making the data rates disabled for slower clients ?
But isnt cell size , controlled by the Transmit power of the antenna ?
Or what we are looking here , is just reducing the cell size logically?
Thanks ,
Rahul.

No problem.... Look at it this way.... back in the days with autonomous, you could roam from one ap and not roam to the next two while walking down the hallway. So in high density, you want to have some sort of control on how many clients you want in a cell or on a particular AP. People always asked.... why an i connected to an ap 20 feet away and not the one above me. Well for one, the client chooses and also why would it roam is it is still connected at a rate that you are still supporting. There are so many tweaking involved with high density, well at least I do a lot of tweaking, but its so I can control the cell size for AP's in a high density area compared to areas where I need to extend the cell size a bit more. Data rates and TX power work hand in hand when determining this.
Thanks,
Scott

Another PGC Data Rate Error

Hi,
Like a few others out there, I've been having a "PGC Data rate too high, please switch with lower data rate" problem for a few weeks now. I've been searching online for the past week and a half for a solution and have tried everything suggested, from changing the transcoding max bitrates (down to 5.0) and lowering the audio bitrate, to recompressing, and reencoding the said video file that is having problems. I removed this certain video from my project and built it without any problems which leads me to believe that this one video is the culprit. No matter what I've tried, I still get the same message although the time of error varies by a second or two. Is there any other help someone may be able to offer about the subject? Thanks.
Leighton

Leighton.
This sounds like a somewhat esoteric way to do the conversions IMHO.
It is possible the total combined data rates do exceed - but in EncoreDVD 2 this is a warning more than anything else.
I got these when running HIgh Bitrate MPEG-2 CBR encoded files along with PCM audio - I ignored the warning & built the disc anyway. It worked just fine.
Bitrates in question were 8,000 for video & 1536 for Audio.
Within specs. The little yellow triangle triangle with an exclamation mark was clearly visible in the timeline, so I used the "Ignore warnings & build anyway" option as I knew it was "in-spec".
Can you please let us know some details about the project:
1 - Source of files
2 - Bitrates encoded
3 - Audio type
etc.
I wonder - and hopefully someone can confirm one way or the other - if Encore sets the limit for this warning from the setting made in preferences about the maximum bitrate?
