Max number of caracters in subtitles in Encore? Trying to avoid "Subtitle too complex to render"

Does anyone know what the max number of caracters in a single Encore subtitle "string" is if you want to avoid the "Subtitle too complex to render" error message?
I have a project with one subtitle layer, concisting of 483 "subtitle strings" in it and i'm getting the "...too complex..." message when rendering.
But instead of spending endless hours of trying to guess which one(s) cause the problem, i'd love to have an answer like "Don't ever tap in more than XX caracters in a single subtitle"
And now we are at it:
I'm let to believe that the distance between the individual "subtitle strings" also can release the "...too complex..." message. Any clues as to what the minimum number of frames has to be between the individual "strings" in order to avoid the error message (the project in question is a "classic" DVD-project - not BluRay)?
Thanx in advance.

Well, just in case anyone else is stuck with the same problem and comes across this old string: After several tests I have come up with this solution that works for me - and perhaps for others too:
Notice that the subtitle borders are set differently than the default settings. The settings I use keeps the subtitle string just inside the outer safe area border where as the default settings are inside the inner safe area border and thus resulting in shorter subtitle lines.
You can choose a different typeface and size if you like. These matters doesn't seem to have much influence on the "_too complex_" issue.
With these settings I can write a maximum of 60 characters, including spaces, per line. Remember to make forced line breaks between the lines, if your subtitle string is longer than one line. Otherwise Encore will see what appears to be two lines as one long line exceeding the max number of characters and thus resulting in a "_too complex_" error.
And as for number of frames between subtitle strings: Minimum 5 frames - but Encore will automaticly warn you if you place text strings closer than that.

Subtitles too complex to render (CS6)

Hello
We have a problem that many other users seem to have too:
I'm building a DVD with two subtitle tracks (english and german). When I tried to build the .iso-file, I always got the error message "The subtitle or menu subpicture is too complex to be encoded". So I was reading about the problem on the web and tried some stuff, and somehow, Encore destroyed my file. Encore always crashed as soon as I edited something on the subtitle track.
So I decided to rebuild the whole menu (about 2 days of work). After I've rebuild the menu, I tried to build the .iso-File before I imported the subtitles. Then it worked. So it was clear that it was something with the subtitles.
So I re-imported only one of the subtitle tracks with the following settings:
I changed the values of the display area because some people wrote that It worked after they made the subtitle display area smaller. But when I then tried to build the .iso-file, I got the error message about too complex subtitles again.
I have some subtitles with two lines. So I deleted all the two-line-subtitles and tried to build the .iso-file again, but it still did not work. I then deleted all the subtitles that contain more than about eight words. I tried to build the iso-file again and IT WORKED!!!
But that can't be a solution! Or do I have to split a sentence like "You know exactly the cops are trying to set us up!" in two seperate subtitles? That would make it a pain in the *** to read the subtitles!
What does Adobe say about that? What can/should I do? I lost already several weeks of my life with this problem (and nobody will pay me for that time)!
By the way: Will Encore be discontinued or is there a CC version coming? I'm wondering why Encore's latest version is still CS6.
Thank you for your help!

Not all users seem to have this issue. So I keep thinking there must be a workaround. But there are users who never find one. I don't do enough subtyitles to have any good troubleshooting for a deadline like this. There is often a subtitle creation software involved in subtitle issues.
For alternatives to Encore, try this thread:

I am trying to import subtitles to Adobe Encore but am getting error messages...

I am trying to import subtitles from a software called Aegisub to Adobe Encore, but i am receiving this error message:
The software that is used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem.
I have exported the subtitles as an Encore text file but it still won't allow me attach these to my video. I have exported the video from Premiere as an H.264 and that slots into Encore just fine, i just need to use Encore to attach the subtitles.
Can anyone tell me what i might be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Thanks Stan. I think this is probably the answer but seeing as i am doing this at work, it is telling me the action was stopped because it needs to be checked by an administrator.
If i manage to succeed, i shall let you know. I was trying to import as an asset, wrongly, so this is probably going to be the solution.
Thank you

Is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts

is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts and still have the app work well?

Yes, there is. It's how many contacts your hard drive can take. So you can fill up the entire computer with nothing but contacts until your HDD/Flash has no space left. So if you have 250GB, it'd be less than if you had 500GB and you'd have more on 750GB.

Max number of chars in process message MSEL?

Hi, what is the max number of characteristics can be used in process message category's MSEL table? Right now, I am using more than 99 characteristics and I get a short dump DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION. Is it really limited to 99 characteristics and if it is true, is there an OSS note to change it to allow more than 99?
Thanks and points available

Please make sure that you build a
multithreaded program first (check with ldd).
If anyone can tell me the maximum number of threads per process I would
really appreicate it.
Also the maximum number of open files per process. It depends on the architecture (x86/SPARC), OS version,
64 or 32-bit, /etc/system, shell limitations (/usr/bin/ulimit) ...

What is the max number of hyperlinks supported in a PDF docment?

What is the max number of hyperlinks supported in a PDF docment?
How do I find out how many hyperlinks there are in a PDF document?

I don't think there's a limit to the number of links you can add to a file...
This code (taken from the reference files) will report the number of links in your file:
var numLinks=0;
for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
var b = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
var l = this.getLinks(p, b);
console.println("Number of Links on page " + p +" is " + l.length);
numLinks += l.length;
console.println("Number of Links in Document is " + numLinks);

Max number of Hits Account Identification

Hi all,
we are currently having the problem in IC that when somebody try to identify an account of an BP with more that 100 related sold to parties, that no account is displayed because of the standard max number of hits 100.
I have found the path to customize this in the SPRO but this sentence in the SAP help is making me some headache:
The higher the number you enter here, the more results the system will search for, and in turn, the more performance is affected. The maximum number of hits that the system allows is 100, which is also the default value.
I understand the point of the performance, but does this mean that the performance is also affected the account identification of the other BP with less than 100 related sold to parties?
Can anybody help in this issue?
We are working on CRM 5.0.
Regards
Abosi

Hello
The bug of nothing displayed if over 100 accounts are found is solved with [SAP note 1467929|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1467929.]
The code you are referring to is:
IF bpident_profile-max_hits IS INITIAL.
max_hits = 100.
ELSE.
max_hits = bpident_profile-max_hits.
ENDIF.
It means that, if blank, 100 hits is considered. You can modify the customizing up to 255 results since that is the limit of accounts to be found.

"max number of thread"

We are running a java web app on a Ubuntu Oracle WebLogic server version 10.3.3.
The java web app performs long polls with open tcp socket to keep the client connection open. The clients are long polling the WebLogic at 30 seconds.
Currently we are not able to maintain stability for greater than 24 hours with approximately 200 simultaneous sessions on WebLogic server. Session to me is active client/server tcp connection. We have re-written our application to use continuations, but we are seeing ConcurrentModificationException errors in performance testing.
Is there any setting in WebLogic for “max number of thread” that can handle?
Edited by: user9316392 on Jul 8, 2010 11:07 AM

First, WebLogic since 9.0 has a self-tuning thread pool where WLS will automatically grow and shrink the number of threads based on some internal algorithms. I'm not aware of a hard limit so theoretically there is no max thread count as long as the JVM has memory and WLS thinks more threads will help. You can read up on it here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/dev2arch/2006/01/workload-management.html
Practically, I wouldn't expect more than several hundred threads to be helpful.
As for your situation, how does WLS become unstable? Out of memory, out of file descriptors, errors on new requests, etc. I think you're going to have to use some JVM tools to see what happens to your JVM over time. Is there a memory leak somewhere, is it non-heap memory, etc. JRockit Mission Control is helpful if running on JRockit. If you're on Sun Hotspot, them presumably you can use some of the Hotspot tools. You'll want to compare the state of the JVM towards the beginning of your load test, but after a slight warm-up period with a snapshot after the load test has been running for a long period of time.

Max number of buffers

For fast image grabbing I wand to store images in the memory of the PC. To do this I use LL ring buffering. The max number of buffers is limited by Labview to 50. I tried to increase this by MAX >>Tools >> IMAQ (like suggested on the site) but Labview keeps setting it back to 50, also after rebooting. How can I get this to a higher value?

Hi,

Max number of simultaneous connections?

Hi everyone!
how is possible to determine in advance the max number of simultaneous connection for my FMS?
thanks!

Hi,
Like Jay had mentioned the limitation on the number of connection to server depends on the capability of your server.
You can get the maximum number of connections made to the server, number of active clients... etc details through Administration APIs.
'getServerStats' gives you the "total_connects", which is the maximum number of connections made to the server. "connected" property will return the number of active clients to your server at one point. It also has many more statistics for your reference. This api returns the overall information of the server. If you want to get the details for specific vhost, you can use getVHostStats or getActiveVHostStats. To get more details on Administration API, refer your pdf documentation on "Administration API", that gets installed in your system under "$Root\Flash Media Server\documentation\flashmediaserver_3.5_administrationAPI.pdf".

Max number of dataproviders in the same workbook

Hi,
Do you know please what is the max number of dataproviders (recommanded by SAP) we can use in the same workbook / Bex analyzer?
For information, we are in BI 7 based on excel 2003.
Thx.
Radj.
Edited by: Radjech Radjech on Dec 3, 2010 12:24 PM

One suggestion is:
Each tab (copy of the query) would have distinct filter value(s). In workbook settings, Uncheck "Allow Refresh of Individual Queries". Also in WB settings, Do Not Refresh at Opening. For the entire 50-tab workbook, the filter is limited to a minimum: company code and the date range because the other filters are hardcoded in each tab. When you refresh and change variable values at opening the file, all you enter is the company code value and the date
You might also want to change the Grid Properties: Uncheck Apply Formatting (for performance); and Uncheck Allow Navigation. You can add these back later. Might as well uncheck Sort.
I have my own question about the DPs. Can you rename them from the generic Data Provider 1 or copy of Data Provider 1?

Max number of persons in contact groups - Nokia Lu...

The max number of persons allowed in a contact group is (as far as I know) restricted to 20 persons. This seems very low and I wonder why this restriction is applied. A limitation of 20 persons in a group is not practical. Any explanation or any idea if this can be changed in the future?

As you've discovered the maximum number of contacts you can have in a contact group is 20. If you'd like this limit to be changed to a higher number you really should post a request or add your votes to a similar request on Microsoft's user voice fo....

You don't say which version of the database you are using. In 10gR2 the maximum limit on users and roles is 2,147,483,638.
I think this is more users than any sensible DBA would want to manager :)
