Movies won't encode...please help

I'm working on a project in iDVD that involves many videos, many submenus and buttons, and menus with video/picture backgrounds and menu music. In short, a fancy, big project. Overall, I probably have about over an hour of video. I try to burn the project or even save it as an image but when it gets to encoding the video, I get an error messaging saying "There was an error encoding the movie". I don't know what could be wrong. I checked the DVD map and saw that there wasn't any errors with the videos, all of the videos/music/photos were put on my computer by me so thy're not protected and they're all compatible with iDVD. If anyone could help, please, it would be appreciated so much.

i had a similar problem, it turned out the issue was the format of the video that i was using (mainly the sound quality). you might want to try to run the video/audio through IMOVIE. go to SHARE, go to EXPORT USING QUICKTIME, go to EXPORT, then choose the best setting for the IDVD that you our making (most liking quicktime), then replace the old video's with the new one's from IMOVIE and it should work, it might take awhile (1 hour-1.5 hour) altogether. but the final product is awesome. my family and friends swear i had the video's professionally done.

    If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

  • Error during rendering/encoding -- PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey everybody!! After trying twice to burn this project to DVD, I'm about ready to rip my hair out!! First of all, here's the specifics about my computer:
    Mac OS 10.3.7 / 800 MHZ Power PC G4 / 256 MB SDRam / My programs are iMovie 4 and I have iDVD5
    OK, I'm trying to burn a movie that is about 1 hour, 23 minutes long. Even though my movie is not 90 minutes long, iDVD does tell me that it is too long and that I need to click on "Best Performance" in my iDVD Preferences. No problem, I did that. (By the way, at the time of the burning, I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive.)
    Before burning I do repair permissions and delete my "com.apple.idvd.plist".
    So, it burns and burns for roughly 6 hours. Right at the very end, the disk spits out and an error message comes up saying:
    Encoding Video
    Error during rendering/encoding:
    This is very frustrating because I need to get this video done by tonight and turn it in by Monday morning!!
    Any suggestions?? Please help!!! Thanxx!!

    I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive
    I don't think that's enough. Remember a DVD is 4.7GB (which iDVD first stores on your hard drive) plus temporary files that iDVD needs.

  • AE crashes when I move timeslider...Please Help..!

  • Problem trying to move iTunes folder! Please HELP!

    Please help. I am using Windows 7 with iTunes 10 and cannot for whatever reason move or change the location of the iTunes media folder. I have uninstalled icloud (was using with iPad) and iTunes several times but each time I change the location and consolidate (i really don't mind loosing all the stored info) the folder jumps back to the same location on my D drive. I have tried everything from following online guides and even changing the default music folder location but it keeps going back to the same place.
    Please help!!!!!
    Many Thanks!!!!!

    See also make a split library portable which explains what to do when things aren't in the default layout.
    Note, if iTunes won't stay connected to a new library after you've used the shift-start technique then it is possible the problems are down to a corrupt iTunes Prefs.plist file.

  • Itunes 10 Installs but won't open - Please Help

    I had Itunes 10 installed working on my computer. I installed a program which also installed an older version of Quicktime which I think was version 6.5. The next time I tried to open Itunes it said I needed verion 7.5 of Quicktime to open Itunes please reinstall Itunes. Now comes the problem. I have installed and uninstalled Itunes about 10 times, everytime it install ok but does not open when I click on the icon. The itunes.exe file opens in task manager for a few seconds then closes. I have searched a few places for solutions with no avail. I have tried the correct order of removing apple programs and deleting temp folder and internet cache. I have tries msconfig but can't find any of the programs which have affected other users. I have tried creati9ng another user account for windows but Itunes still won't open. Can anyone please help. My computer is Windows 7 32 bit. Thank in advance.

    No, the program I installed was Winavi MP4 which coverts video to ipod psp format etc.
    Ack, that one's just as bad. It's been causing this sort of grief for iTunes users for over five years now.
    What it has probably done here is drop old versions of QuickTime componentry in unorthodox locations on the PC (usually down in your operating system files). So we're going to go looking for that.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • How can I fix my shaky transitions and picture movements??? PLEASE HELP!

    A very bizarre thing has happened to my project. I made a documentary so my project consists mainly of still images that either zoom in or zoom out and between every picture there is a cross dissolve transition. What's weird is that once I exported it to quicktime, the transitions got shaky (in other words, instead of smoothly dissolving from one picture to the next, the pictures would shake slightly). Also, on some pictures I have the picture start out still then zoom in then become still again. When I do this the screen almost jumps when it starts to zoom in.
    What's even MORE bizarre is that once i burned this project (using iDVD) and watched it on my television, the quality was horrible whenever the pictures were moving (the pictures would shake up and down very fast). But once they stopped moving, the quality got better. What's weird about this is that the transitions don't shake and the pictures don't jump on the burned version.
    Basically what I want to know is how I can fix this. I don't want to go through all my pictures and take out all the movement because 1) that would take me a year and 2) the movie looks better with the movement (if only it worked).
    Please help!! I have a showing of this documentary in a week!!

    Are your photos in .jpg format or .tif? I did get those "shaky" transitions but it seems to have been resolve (with me) when I converted them to .tif.

  • I cant find the movie i recently downloaded please help asap!!

    I recently downloaded a movie on itunes and when it had just finished downloading I shut down my computer. when I turned my computer on again, my movie wasn't there. It's not under downloads, movies, purchased. Its under nothing. I went onto the store and tried to buy it again and it just said: 'you have already purchased this movie, are you sure you would like to buy it again? if you cannot find it in your library go to store>check for available downloads.
    And that is what I did, and I still cannot find it anywhere. not on my ipod, my computer no where. And my version of itunes on my laptop and on my ipod are both as updated as they can be.
    Please help me
    Kind Regards,
    XxBlondeBabe

    It sounds like it was probally not quite done downloading. I have had this happen to me too. I suggest that if your country allows it you try redownloading the content through the purchases page. If the movie is not available there you should contact support.

  • Catalog corrupted, won't repair, please help

    My situation is very similar to the on in this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/472039
    Catalog is corrupted and won't repair, I've tried to create a new catalog than import from the corrupted one but nothing.
    I'm very depressed and frustrated about it, with this catalog I'm losing countless hours of creative work.
    Please help me.
    Thanks
    Pat

    Hi,
    thank you for your reply, help and sympathy, the forums really saved my
    last days, I was so depressed by this problem and reading about it helped
    me to find ways to try to solve the problem.
    I feel so stupid about my catalg, really! I believed the XMP sidecar file
    was automatically created but I was wrong, I also believed the
    modifications were stored somewhere but I was wrong again... all my
    countless hours of creative work on my photos is stored in a.... SQLite DB
    !!!! I still can't believe it I was so ignorant about the consequence of a
    simple power failure or improper shutdown.
    My backup is old, I need to recover more recent work,
    The XMP sidecar file was NOT active by default and I never cared about it:
    STUPID ME.
    I'm trying to repair the DB by myself while waiting for an answer by Dan
    Tull, it's a SQLite DB in the end.... (I'm working on a copy obviously)
    I've managed to open it in LR right now but all the last 500 photos
    entries seems damaged, I'm still working on it.... my DB is 380MB circa...
    btw
    a) just before the failure, I put the catalog on a brand new USB, 500GB
    drive (from an old 250GB usb drive) and I've opened it on a not updated
    computer (early version of windows XP - never got problems with the old
    drive) I fear it doesn't support 500GB filesystems but I'm not sure and
    I'll really NEVER attach the disk to this computer again so it will be
    hard to investigate. I've no such problem with this drive doing anything
    else with my laptop.
    b) I'm absolutely sure of it!! because of a severe earthquake in my city
    the last 6 of April
    (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/04/the_laquila_earthquake.html),
    I've to work on a laptop, my desktop is in a box in a garage and I really
    don't know when my house will be completely repaired and I'll back using a
    desktop computer; because of this I'm on DEATH SLOW USB drives and you can
    imagine what it means to backup 300GB of photos daily or weekly (9-10
    hours), btw I think I'll backup my 380MB catalog at every LR start from
    now.
    Do you know a way to create the XMP of all the mofications from an
    existing catalog? Will it be enough to create a complete catalog?
    Thank you very much.
    Pat
    You have my sympathy! I am constantly in fear of losing my work due to a
    software or hardware problem. There are so many things that can go wrong
    and we are photographers first, not computer operations people.
     
    Did you try the ideas listed in the thread you referenced: restoring from
    a backup or making a new catalog from the adjustments and metadata stored
    in the XMP information in the pictures? If neither of those work then a
    manual repair of the catalog by an expert is the last option. That would
    be hard for me as my catalog is over 1GB.
     
    Once you have recovered your stuff I suggest you look at a) why it
    happened. For example do you need a new hard drive?  and b) a better
    backup plan so if disaster strikes you can restore easily and without
    stress.
     
    Good luck.

  • Canon IP7250 - Color won't print - Please help

    I have a Canon IP7250, two day ago, my printer showed me error C000. I resolved this error, but now my printer won't printing in colour. Black working properly. I tried many times to cleaning a toner in mainteace. When I go to "print head alignment" then shows error 2500. ? In nozzle check black colour is excellent but no other colors on paper. 
    Please, help me. 
    Thanks.

    Again, the username/password, would either be your logon username/password or your "root" username/password if you have enabled it.
    Another option would be to update your CUPS software. Multi-functional printers are usually "tricky" to get full-featured drivers for. It's possible that a newer version for this particular printer may exist with an update.
    Still another option (and possibly a better one) would be to download and install the latest Gutenprint printer drivers. These were formally known as Gimp-Print drivers. (ref: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3)
