Movie time remaining

I have added a song at the beginning of the movie and one at the end. I am trying to figure out the time remaining to better match the song lengths to the remaining movie length. Is this possible? In iMovie HD there was a handy time line below the film strip so you knew where you were at in the overall movie timeline. Is there a similar feature in iMovie 09? TIA.
Mike

In iMovie's menu, click on View then select Playhead Info. A black box with white text will appear above the playhead showing the day, date and time recorded plus the elapsed time. At the base of the project window you will also see the total running time for the project.

Compressor 3.0.5 "unknown time remaining"

Each time I try to compress a file, the time remaining reads "unknown time remaining" and it doesn't move. When I send files to compressor from Final Cut, FCP and Compressor both lock up when I click submit. I have tried all the solutions listed in other post such as deleting the preferences, using compressor repair, uninstalling compressor and the entire final cut studio, but none work. I have reinstalled leopard done multiple times and it will work for a while, then I get the same problem again. I have tried to do Time Machine restores to backup taken while it was working, but it will not work when I restore it. Without compressor, I have great trouble making DVD out of my footage shot in HD. Help Please!
thanks in advance

Just as an addon, I found a fix offered by Digital Rebellion in another post somewhere in here. They have a (free) compressor repair utility, amongst other things on their website. I just ran it and now my Compressor works again. Thanks Digital Rebellion!

Hope this works for you.

Time remaining on a dvd

Hi there,
I am historically a Roxio user, and I'm used to being able to see a "space full" bar at the bottom to see how much of the DVD I have "filled up" with video. I don't see a comparable time remaining bar on iDVD. In other words, how can I easily tell how much movie room is left on a DVD?
Thanks
Susan

iDVD works on time; for a single-layer disc you get up to 60 minutes of content in Best Performance mode and up to 120 minutes for High Quality and Professional Quality encoding. Your menu content counts. If you go into Project>Project Info (in the iDVD menu bar) you will see a capacity indicator.

Problems Downloading TV Show - Time Remaining Increasing

I recently bought a 2.45 GB TV show episode off of the iTunes store. Unfortunately, it is taking an extremely long time to download. After downloading for several hours it has only accomplished about 100 KB, and it shows no signs of speeding up. Even worse, the time remaining keeps increasing, and is currently surpassing 2,000 hours. Once it reaches around 10,000 hours, it resets and begins increasing once again. Past TV episode downloads have gone smoothly and efficiently. Can anyone help diagnose this issue and possibly solve it?
Thanks very much in advance!

Thanks for your response. The TV show and Movie's sizes seem to correspond with how large they are supposed to be (as stated on the iTunes store).
I have been able to download songs normally, but I havn't attempted any new TV shows/movies.

Time remaining is increasing!

I'm trying to encode 45 minutes of HD footage using the HD DVD H.264 one hour setting.
When originally submitted, Batch Monitor quoted a time remaining of around 3 hours for the video. The batch is still processing, but the time remaining is slowly going UP instead of down. It now shows a time remaining of 9 hours 47 minutes - and it still rising!
Can anybody help?

The Apple H.264 encoder automatically calculates the optimal number of passes it needs to encode the movie as it goes along. This means that it doesn't necessarily know how many passes it will need when you first start the encoding process. That is why the time goes up.
If you want to speed up encoding, either set it to single pass (at the expense of visual quality) or optimize Compressor for your computer:

Movie TIMER with Total Time and Countdown

With so many timer scripts out there,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a script/movie that does the
basics:
- display the total time of a movie from the beginning.
- counts down to "zero" value as the movie progresses.
I'm looking to add this "timer" feature to a captivate movie
(end product = swf) with the above functionality. Within the
captivate movie is the standard control bar which consists of play,
fast forward, rewind, stop, pause, etc. I would like to intergrate
the timer with this control bar.
Example format for a 35 second movie: (beginning time to end)
00:00:35 - 00:00:00
Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

you'll have to hardcode the duration of you swf. there's no
way to determine that, in general.
however, if you have no branching within your swf and it's a
swf without significant timelines except for the main timeline, you
could continually calculate the duration using _level._totalframes
and the frame rate which can be calculated.
using the duration and getTimer() (to determine the length of
time your swf is playing) you can calculate time remaining. from
there would need to use the flash string methods to format your
display.

Job submitted-"Unknown Time Remaining" with no progress. Please help!

This is driving me crazy. I can't figure it out.
I submit a job, I get the message "unknown time remaining" with no progress in the progress bar. Nothing happens.
I am using an iMac.
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB
Version 10.5.8
Compressor 3
Movie is exported to my desktop from FCP as a Quicktime file. I am using current settings. Audio and video included. Self contained. DV NTSC 48KHz Anamorphic 720x480
The setting I choose is H.264 800Kbps Quicktime 7 compatible. In the inspector under geometry I choose custom (16:9). Destination is desktop.
When I submit, it shows in history but never does anything. Just get that message.
Please help!

Do you know what else I could use to compress? I'm about to google.
This might help you. I've found Compressor Repair online. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem for me. You might have better luck.

let me know if it works for you.

FileVault 2 stuck on Estimating Time Remaining...

The prelude to this story is this one:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20934844#20934844
So, I decided to try to encrypt my SSD which is the primary drive installed in the secondary slot (instead of the optical drive).
The FileVault 2 is stuck on Estimating Time Remaining... for 2 days now, so I guess it is not going anywhere.
Any ideas?

I't also happened to me, you should go into safe mode and move the file com.apple.corestorage.corestoraged.plist to desktop. It is located on system/library/launchdaemons.
Then continue encryption and wait till its over. Then decrypt if you want.
Hope it works

It appears that the time remaining calculation is hindering the download.

So I'm trying to download a 2GB movie on a slow DSL connection. I understand it's going to take a while, BUT...
Why does iTunes try and recalculate the time remaining after 1k of download? Each time it recalcs, it slows down the download. I wait for recalc, then another 1k gets added and it recalcs. What a waste of processing time.
Here's the interesting part. If I pause the download then restart it, bang! I get 1k more instantly. Now if I sit here and pause/start/pause/start/pause/... you get the idea, I can download it faster than just letting it do it's dumb calculation.
Help! Can I turn off the calculation?
Thanks

I agree, there is something strange. I am just downloading an update for my ipad and can see what you are saying.
I also experienced this sort of problem much worse when converting aac to mp3's.
If you stay on the page where you selected the music and start the conversion you can see the progress bar and it goes like a snail with someone standing on it. If you swap to another page where you can't see the progress bar it all speeds up amazingly.
That's life

Time remaining problem

I've tried using Compressor twice in the space of an hour, when my jobs get to about three quarters the way through the time remaining bar doesn't move any more and the job is at a stand still.

Maybe its just me that needs a little more clarification but are you trying to take VIDEO podcasts and put them onto your player without any conversion? first I don't know how you are doing it because every video i have tried NEEDS conversion because they are usually the wrong size bitrate etc... are you putting these onto your memory card or right onto your player. now to my side.. i have podcasts well over 8 hours and my countdown works fine.. I am also in process of converting 300 the movie onto here and it needs a conversion ( im kinda lying im converting it just to make sure but didnt try to add it before doing so) anyway I think its a slight problem with your player... . if you didnt upgrade your firmware try it( i hate saying these things because these usually NEVER solve the problem)2.try searching the forums for a common problem or check your other mp3, videos to see if it does the same thing3. try converting one file. for instance the one that is suppose to be 90mins and see if it shows correct countdown4. transferring a regular mp3 podcast not video should show the correct time because it really doesnt need conversion unless you are not using zencast5. i havent done any long video podcasts just movies so im not quite sure that may be a small limitation..
anyway take care hope i helped a little...(most of the ideas were just my common sense) hehe

Unknow Time Remaining Message

I am trying to export a .mov file at an mpeg2 and in the process screen I keep getting an unkown time remaining message and the progress bar doesn't move. I am using Compressor 3 and I just updated it. What's the problem?

Depending on the type of encode, this could be normal. We need to know what are you trying to create? Are you going to mpeg1, 2 or what? Also, after starting your encode, you can check to see which process is taken up the most cpu usage, if it's compressord, your transcode is progressing as it should. If nothing's using your cpu, thing something ain't working.

I created an iCloud account and also had to get more space after I have done the purchase, I am unable to backup my phone! I have a stable wifi connection at home and all I see for hours and hours is "Backing Up .. Estimating time remaining"!!!!! Plz help

I created an iCloud account and also had to get more space so after I have made the purchase, I am unable to backup my phone! I have a stable wifi connection at home and all I see for hours and hours is "Backing Up .. Estimating time remaining"!!!!! Plz help I'm unable to make the backup as I need to transfer all my data on my new iPhone 5S

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
In the meantime you can back up your phone to your computer by connect it, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Also be sure to transfer your purchases (File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). Then set up your new phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and follow the prompts to restore this backup to your new phone. This will be much faster than using iCloud anyway.

Installed Yosemite, now my MacBook Pro is running slow and the FileVault keeps saying estimating time remaining.

I installed Yosemite and since then the system has been running slow. I chose to use FileVault and it says it's encrypting but keeps saying estimating time remaining. I've tried repair permission and restarting my computer. Saw some other threads with similar problem and ran diskutil cs list which showed 80% the first time and now says failed. I also did an Entre Check and here are the results.
