More DVD issues, G5 ejects DVD

After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, my DVD capabilites haulted. It's was a Superdrive DVD +R DL DVD +/- RW and all CDs (and last year, I burned DVDs with it). Now it ejects blank DVDs and will only read DVDs. Is there a firmware update?

How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

You need to 'reverse engineer' them :
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Load More Messages issues

I saw some posts about load more messages issues, but nothing seems to be the same as my problem. I'm new to iPhone, so I must be missing something obvious.
I was looking at my emails this morning and deleted all but 5. I responded to an email, but didn’t send because I forget change the server port for outgoing mail that our server requires. So I went into settings and changed the port. I went back to my inbox but can no longer see the messages I saved, instead there's an option that says “Load More Messages” with a note below it stating “5 messages total, 0 unread”. I have no other emails in my inbox. When I click Load More Messages, nothing happens. I can’t figure out how to get to those emails. I tried cycling the power on the iphone, that didn’t help.
I'm getting new messages normally. My mail is set to show 25 recent messages. Even if I change this, it still displays the "Load More Messages". As an extreme test, I set it to show 200 recent messages, went back to my inbox, hit the "Load More Messages" option, but that didn't help. What's more, I have a full signal and I'm running 3G.

Hey man, your problem sounds similar to the one I'm having. I can't load more messages on both of my email accounts. But I think I might have figured out the problem. I recently re-installed my hotmail account and when I was looking through my,"Unread" inbox the, "Load more messages" command was working just fine. So I was continuing to go through my messages to make them read (because if your like me, I don't like to have any messages, "Unread." So when all my messages were read there was about 80 in total, and my setting was set to show the 25 most recent. So I backed out of the mail app, did a few more things and came back hoping that there would only be 25 showing with 0 unread and the ability to load more if i wished. Well, there was 25 showing but the box with the load more messages command was gone and no matter how many times I tried to refresh it would not come back.
So my theory is this; there always has to be an unread message in your inbox for the load more messages to work. Sorry about the long post. I'm going to test this theory out, knowing my luck, it won't work at all. Good luck bro!
Peace.

More DVD length /encoding issues

I've tried searching /reading most of the iDVD and don't think I've seen this issue; although I'm new to iDVD and this machine so please bear with me.
I have set Quality to "Best", yet I still get the "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. " iDVD gives me:
Project:
- total project duration: 79:16 minutes
- total project capacity: 4.326 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Menus:
- number of menus in project: 3 menus
- total menu duration: 1:11 minutes
- total menu capacity: 54.286 MB
Movies:
- total movies duration: 78:05 minutes
- total movies capacity: 4.273 GB
Are Single layer DVD's not capable of 79 minutes? Or is it only DLs that can handle two hours? I have only 6 relatively small pix in the Theme, no music or videos.
Than-Q for any help anyone can suggest.

It should work since on a single layer DVD you should be able to put as much as 120 minutes on it. You may have a corrupted preference file. I have seen that before where even though you have Best Quality checked, the program is still working under Best Performance. The fix is to find the iDVD preference file, trash it, start iDVD again, set the preference back to Best Quality (B.Perf is the default so you have to change it back again) and then try your project again and see if it now allows you to put your 80 minute project onto a DVD.

More DVD Audio Problems! Help!

This is the same problem as mentioned before in "dvd audio compatibility". I'm getting a lot of customers coming back with the same problem, and they're all using coax to connect their televisions to their dvd players. Problem is, not everyone has RCA jacks available to them. How should I be encoding these videos in Encore 2.0 to avoid this problem? By default they're all going into Dolby digital 2.0. For the past 2 years, I've used Encore 1, and never had this problem.
What should I be doing in Encore 2?
Thanks!

David.
It sounds to me as if there is something much more fundamentally wrong here. ALL your customers should be perfectly okay using CoAxial outputs from their DVD players. It is only DVD-Audio (a completely different format) that has this issue with needing RCA type jacks.
DVD-Video should be perfectly okay outputting via CoAxial cables to a suitable Dolby Digital Decoder.
These people who are missing audio - are they attempting to decode the Dolby Digital stream internally in their players? My guess (and thisis a guess without detailed info) is that they have simply not got their systems set up correctly. Sadly, this is all too common as most end users will never go into the setup pages and will just leave everything at factory defaults (which are rarely ideal)
When we are talking about CoAx connections, are we talking CoAxial Digital Audio connections here, or CoAx TV (RF type) connections? There is a huge difference.

Images on more DVDs

Hi, we use Imaging for cloning machines, it's very useful. We tried to use
it as "local" and it works fine. We thought that we can use it for create
image of a standard PC and spread or all over the country to make easier
and faster the installation. We tried "local" and it's ok... but if we
needed more than one DVD (or CD?). Is there a way to manage multiple
archive on more supports? Thank you. F.

Combining two or more dvds onto one ddv

Is it possible to copy 3 existing home made dvds onto one DVD-R disk. I can copy to a rewriteable disk DVD-RW but DVD player does not recognise the disk . Any ideas ??

If the DVD has the space to hold the three movies then you can fit them on there. Combining DVD movies is not like adding tracks on a CD. DVDs have pretty strict rules about what goes where = authoring. You will need to reauthor the DVD, creating a new VIDEO_TS folder accommodating your three movies together so it will play on your television DVD player. This is not just putting all the files in one folder, but creating correct information files to go with the video. Even if you have a tool that will re-author for you it may not create menus, which makes navigating using your TV pretty cumbersome. Sizzle is a freeware tool that lets you create new menus, but it hasn't been upgraded in a while and is not the most intuitive. If you're happy with just the most basic of menus and working out problems with software then you can use it.
So, simply copying the three sets of files onto a single DVD will not work in your video player, though you can play the files on your computer using a program like VLC.
The other problem you may be encountering is blank media quality. If you are using the cheap DVDs sold in bulk in discount stores you may find your player won't be able to read them. I have put the same movie on cheap DVDs and high-quality ones. The player could not read the chap DVDs but had no problem with the identical files on a good quality DVD. RW media (be it DVD or CD) can often present even more of a problem in players than non-rewritable media, unless you player specifically states it can handle RW.

How can i create a project with 2 or more dvd´s ???

More skipping issues...

i'm so upset with dvdsp, i feel like every dvd i make ends up skipping in the clients' dvd players. i shot hdv, edited in native hdv 1080i60, used compressor to make a best quality 150 min ac3 and m2v, and used dvdsp to burn and it plays fine in my macbook pro but skips and stops playing in my ps3 AND xbox 360. what is my issue here? bad dvds? all my software is up to date and i'm using a hv30 and lacie 7200 external firewire 400 drive.

Don't jump to conclusion . Meters on players are terribly innacurate. Beside 3.7 is really low - you couldn't be happy with the quality Im sure at that rate! Re-do the encode again but make sure you've set the correct bitrate based on the length of your source. use a good bitrate calculator to get your target anf peak bitrate settings. Try another batch of good media and play the disc again. Try more than one player if need be.
here's a good calculator:

N8 Belle more of issue than fun

I am using Belle for more than a month now and came up with these issue.
1. when i am using foursquare app with mobile data just connected, it hangs the device.
2. Once I disconnect from a Wi-Fi network, after a second or so all the icons reinitialize for all the screens.
3. Using app stop to kill all the apps excluding clock sometimes hangs the device.
Due to these issues i have to restart the device once a day to keep it working properly and which is very annoying. Are these normal issue with Belle or something terribly wrong with the device.
Thanks.
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated. You can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'.

Also i found concerns in the existing camera with worked great with Anna update. I have default camera then camerapro and cameralover.
4. When using camerapro with 'single' AF it shows red box for initial 2-3 tries and then focus correctly.
5. The quality of autofocus for default camera has also decreased and gives blured snaps.
Not sure anyone facing the same issues, but these are major applications and feature for N8.
And if they perform like this then it is a pain.

More Major Issues with ZFS + Dedup

I'm having more problems - this time, very, very serious ones, with ZFS and deduplication. Deduplication is basically making my iSCSI targets completely inaccessible to the clients trying to access them over COMSTAR. I have two commands right now that are completely hung:
1) zfs destroy pool/volume
2) zfs set dedup=off pool
The first command I started four hours ago, and it has barely removed 10G of the 50G that were allocated to that volume. It also seems to periodically cause the ZFS system to stop responding to any other I/O requests, which in turn causes major issues on my iSCSI clients. I cannot kill or pause the destroy command, and I've tried renicing it, to no avail. If anyone has any hints or suggestions on what I can do to overcome this issue, I'd very much appreciate that. I'm open to suggestions that will kill the destroy command, or will at least reprioritize it such that other I/O requests have precedence over this destroy command.
Thanks,
Nick

To add some more detail, I've been review iostat and zpool iostat for a couple of hours, and am seeing some very, very strange behavior. There seem to be three distinct patterns going on here.
The first is extremely heavy writes. Using zpool iostat, I see write bandwidth in the 15MB/s range sustained for a few minutes. I'm guessing this is when ZFS is allowing normal access to volumes and when it is actually removing some of the data for the volume I tried to destroy. This only lasts for two to three minutes at a time before progressing to the next pattern.
The second pattern is categorized by heavy, heavy read access - several thousand read operations per second, and several MB/s bandwidth. This also lasts for five or ten minutes before proceeding to the third pattern. During this time there is very little, if any write activity.
The third and final pattern is categorized by absolutely no write activity (0s in both the write ops/sec and the write bandwidth columns, and very, very small read activity. By small ready activity, I mean 100-200 read ops per second, and 100-200K read bandwidth per second. This lasts for 30 to 40 minutes, and then the patter proceeds back to the first one.
I have no idea what to make of this, and I'm out of my league in terms of ZFS tools to figure out what's going on. This is extremely frustrating because all of my iSCSI clients are essentially dead right now - this destroy command has completely taken over my ZFS storage, and it seems like all I can do is sit and wait for it to finish, which, as this rate, will be another 12 hours.
Also, during this time, if I look at the plain iostat command, I see that the read ops for the physical disk and the actv are within normal ranges, as are asvc_t and %w. %b, however is pegged at 99-100%.
