Muxing problem -- Too fast, files don't work

I'm trying to encode a DVDSP 3 project.
I'm choosing Single Pass VBR and "better" Motion Detection.
I'm on a 1Gghz TiBook.
The entire process, including Muxing, is taking a minute or two. This should take hours. The resulting video_ts folder can be played on Apple's DVD Player, but when I burn a disk, it's a mess and essentially unreadable on a proper hardware DVD player.
I've trashed my preferences. I have reinstalled.
There are no pre-existing video_ts folders or files.
I have tried changing my Encoding settings and using different permutations of build/burn/format.
Results are always the same -- DVDSP 3 zooms through the encoding precodure producing unusable files.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for helping. See my responses below.
Multiple questions:
1) How long is the video that is being encoded in
hours/minutes?
Approximately 1 hour.
2) Is this the first time you've built this project?
If not, and the video has already been encoded to
MPEG2, it will be much faster to build than the first
time. Muxing does still take some time, but depending
on the answer to Question 1 above, it could be
speedier than you think.
I might have left this out of my original post, but A) I did build the project before, yet B) I deleted the video_ts and all related files from the build. I'm under the impression this means DVDSP thinks it hasn't built the project yet. Am I wrong assuming this?
3) Did you use an MPEG2 file in DVDSP (created from
Compressor or something else), or did you place an
unencoded movie in DVDSP to let it do the encoding?
If the latter, is the unencoded movie still around?
Was it a reference movie or a self-contained? If
reference, try to open the movie itself in QuickTime
Player. Maybe parts of the reference movie are
missing.
I imported .DV files and let DVDSP create .m2v files. But this isn't the same as encoding, right? I mean, they only took a minute to import. I thought they still need to be "really" encoded, which is what Building does. Am I wrong? In other projects, I imported .DV files this way, but it still took a long time to encode them once I hit "Build".
4) When you say "when I burn a disk," what are you
using to do the burning? DVDSP or something else? If
the VIDEO_TS folder is playable on Apple's DVD
Player, it should be playable on anything, unless
you're not burning it to disc correctly. DVDSP does
the burn correctly. If you're trying to do it
manually with Toast or something, you could be doing
it incorrectly which is causing hardware DVD players
to choke on it.
I'll try doing it from within DVDSP. I was using Toast. I've successfully used Toast many times, but it's a good idea to see what happens when I use DVDSP.

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)." My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac? Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

Audio files don't work in FCE

I have clips that I want to use in Final Cut Express that have audio in 48 KHz, 16-bit integer mode.
The FCE manual says "16-bit audio: For video capture and output, 16-bit audio is almost always used"
When I import the clips into FCE and place them in my sequence, I get the dreaded red line over the audio, and I can't seem to "render," so essentially, my clips have no sound.
The default audio settings for my sequence are 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point, about which the FCE manual says "Final Cut Express HD mixes the audio in your program internally at 32-bit, floating-point resolution even if your source audio is 16-bit. The result is that all audio calculations are made with higher precision, maximizing the quality of your program’s audio."
But since my audio files don't work in FCE, something is not right, and I don't know how to change it. The only way to change sequence settings is to load presets, none of which give me contol over the audio settings at this level. How do I get my audio files to work?
Thanks,
Rebecca

Ok, so I opened up one of the orignal clips in QT, and clicked on "Export -> Quicktime movie." Under settings, I made sure the compression was DV/DVCPRO NTSC, and the audio was set to 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point. And exported. And then imported the clip into FCE, and it worked! (Even my teacher in my Final Cut class couldn't answer this one for me).
Question is, if all cameras record at 16-bit interger (as the FCE manual says) and FCE requires 32-bit floating point (as it seems to), why doesn't it do the conversion automatically (as the manual suggests, but does seem to actually do)? I guess I don't really need this question answered, since I now have a fix, but I still need to use QT to convert every clip before I can use them in FCE, which is still a pain.
Thanks,

Included files don't work on network paths

I often include css and php files with absolute paths from to
the site root, like this for example:
<link href="/css/basic.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
... and Dreamweaver has always rendered the page in design
view just as if these included files were part of the current file,
just as it should work. Unfortunately this doesn't work anymore
since I moved all the sites to a network path. Now I have to use
relative paths, for example:
<link href="../css/basic.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
... or the page won't render properly (it can't find the
css-files). Why does having the files on a network path screw up my
sites this way?
Thanks in advance!

A little update: Instead of using the complete network path
(\\DOMAIN\foo\bar\etc) I mapped a network drive to that directory,
and it works. The problem is that all developers need to have the
same volume letter mapped to this network path, and that's going to
be a problem. I really don't understand why DW can't work with
network paths.
This is on Windows XP Pro btw.

.chm files don't work on network drives...

I noticed this problem with .chm files compiled with my
projects. Then I tried it with the Robohtml.chm file as well. If
these files are on my local drive they work perfectly. When they
are moved to a network drive I get the following error.
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:
Retype the address.
I have full access permissions to the files and folders on
the network.
Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

Ohh yes - I got into the same mess - I'd personally recommend
using the RoboHTML version - you you'll have to do some copy/paste
+ retyping, but at least you've be ably to 'share the file.
Another great thing is to use 'conditional build tags' for
your project (thanks Peter G.) Now you can a "Master Version" which
you make changes to, and say using the Single Source Layout you
have, for example: A version for Management, one for Staff - (i'm
not sure how many you're allowed - with regard to the tags).
Now - here's the really useful bit - if you make a change to
the Master version your changes are naturally reflected to all the
other versions - and any restrictions for the other versions are
not shown as "page unavailable" but just don't appear on the
"menu"....
Give it a try - it's made my life a lot easier (mines a 700+
page company procedure manual for a Casino).

Links to external files don't work

Hello
Using RH 8.02 and converting linked Word docs (Word 2002) to WebHelp. These are policies and procedures that reference external documents.
In my Word doc I have a hyperlink to an external document. This doc is on a network server. In Word I added the hyperlink and it appeared as a relative path, such as ../RelatedDocs/RelDoc1.doc.
The referenced file is an external file, and I don't want to add it to RH because it may be updated; I just want to link to it so that a user gets the latest version.
When I update the HTML files in RH I see this in my HTML file:
<a href="file:////terminus/avbase_techsupport/av-base documents/supportmaster/documentationshare/relateddocs/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
This is the correct absolute path for the referenced file. Note the file://// prefix, with four forward slashes.
When I generate WebHelp, the link doesn't work. Nothing happens.
I tried the following:
1. Copied the whole path into my Windows Start > Run box and hit Enter. Nothing happens.
2. Removed two of the forward slashes and copied it again into the Run box. Now the file opens in Word.
I also tried removing the hyperlinks from the Word docs and adding them through RH instead. Same result.
Why does RH add four forward slashes to the prefix? What can I do to get these external links working?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Peter
I apologize for taking so long to respond. I just received a new computer with Vista and have had to set it up. Here is what happens:
1. In Word, I have a doc policy1.doc that contains a hyperlink to reldoc1.doc. The two files are in different folders. When I insert the link, Word shows it as a relative path ../RelatedDocs/reldoc1.doc. When I hover over it in the Word doc, it shows as an absolute path starting with file:///\\theserver, etc.
2. My RH project includes policy1.doc but not reldoc1.doc. I update policy1.doc in RH. In the HTML topic file (HTML view) the link is:
<a href="file:////theserver/path/reldoc1.doc">Link text</a>. Note the four forward slashes.
3. I save all project files and generate WebHelp.
4. In the resultant web page (in Firefox), I click the link in policy1 and nothing happens. The status bar shows the path the same as above.
5. I navigate to the output !SSL! and find the index page, and open it in Internet Explorer 8. The link shows in the status bar as file://theserver/path/reldoc1.doc, and when clicked IE opens the Word doc.
So in this case Firefox doesn't open the link but IE does.
Here is another scenario:
1. I have no links in myWord docs.
2. I generate topic files in RH using the linked Word docs.
3. In RH, in the HTML file for policy1 (policy1.htm) I add a link to reldoc1.doc. I choose the file protocol. RH asks me if I want to copy the doc into the project folder, and I say No.
4. I check the HTML for policy1.htm and see that it has the link as follows:
<a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
(Going to Hyperlink Properties shows the same path.) Note the two forward slashes.
5. I save all files in the project and click Generate Primary Layout (which is WebHelp). A dialog asks if I want to update <some file or other, but I can't see which one because that darned dialog box is too small, but I expect it's policy1.htm>.
6. I say No. The output is generated and I view it in Firefox. The link works and has a path in the status bar as:
<a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
Note the three forward slashes.
7. I view the index.htm file in IE and it works.
As a variant of the above, instead of saying No when asked if I want to update the file, I say Yes.
1.The HTML of policy1.htm now shows the link as:
<a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
Note the four forward slashes again.
2. The link is as shown in the status bar of Firefox is now set to:
<a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
It doesn't work.
2. The same link shown in IE status bar has two forward slashes (even though the source has four), and it works.
So in answer to your question, the link definitely changes within RH. The two browsers deal with things differently, with IE seeing a file://// link as file://.
Incidentally, I did some research on the file:// protocol and came up with:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don%27t_Work
The answer seems to be:
1. Add the links within RH.
2. Don't update when generating output.
3. If possible, get users to use IE instead of FF.
Either way, it's not very satisfactory for my purposes.

Roger

Keynote 3.0.2 (iWork '06) Files Don't Work in Keynote 4.0 (iDon'tWork '08)

I just got iWork ’08 yesterday, and tried to use a slideshow created in Keynote 3.0.2 with the new Keynote 4.0, and nothing works. The original file is an interactive slideshow of my office work portfolio, and has an initial slide with 40 project photos that are hyperlinked to smaller automatically running slideshows of the specific projects represented by those photos. Within those smaller slideshows are embedded QuickTime movies and separate audio files that often play simultaneously as soundtracks. Timing of the start and end of movies and audio files is usually critical to the sequence of slides. Once the specific project slide show is complete, it automatically returns to the opening hyperlinked slide, so another project show can be selected and played. It all works perfectly in Keynote 3.0.2.
However almost nothing works in Keynote 4.0. The initial hyperlinked photos link to the wrong projects (I have found that it seems to be the next project from whatever the selected slide in the navigator view happens to be, rather than the correct hyper linked project) movies embedded in the automatically running slideshows don’t play, audio files either don’t play or start at the wrong time. Auto transitions between slides don’t always occur so the show sometimes stops (thought the audio sometimes keeps running) and on and on. There are several hundred slides in the whole show, and I haven’t had time to inspect individual transitions, timings etc., and would hate to think of the time necessary to redo the entire show that way.
I’m by no means an expert in Keynote, so I don’t know if there is some version update conversion trick that I’m missing. I sometimes distribute this show on disk to clients who have Keynote installed on their computers, and I wouldn’t want them trying to run it with Keynote 4.0.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
Also in a more general sense, I wish that Apple would create a freeware Keynote Player that could be distributed with slideshows and which would play them as they were intended to be played. Kind of like Adobe Reader distributes for pdf files. None of the Keynote exporting options, including html, work for the kind of show I have created.
Thanks very much.
P.S. I just tried the trick of setting the KN preference to “Allow Exposé, Dashboard and Others to Use the Screen”, and that fixed the playability of QuickTime movies, but audio file timings are still off, skips occur in the audio files and the hyperlinks still go to the next sequential slide rather than the proper link.

What version of the OS are you running? Also, in some cases, running the same presentation on two different computers will yield a change in carefully timed presentations. This is because audio and video aren't "locked" and will drift depending on the speed of the computer/OS. Because there were some changes made to how Keynote handles movies, this MIGHT have an effect on some of your timings there, but I don't think this would cause the widespread mislinking you're seeing.

If you're displaying on a Mac running fairly recent OS, anyone can download and install the iWork Trial. While it will eventually time out, this trial version can still run Keynote presentations just like the full version can. You just can't save any changes to the presentation.

Cineform files don't work well on Mavericks

Quicktime converts a CineForm file before playback in Mavericks. Why is that? Before Mavericks it worked just fine. Even previewing in a Finder-window isn't possible anymore. Anybody out there who knows why Apple has done this? Is there a workarround?

Were all three 8330 devices you had having this same issue?
Were they all gotten from the same store?
I'd assume that store has a batch of bad devices. Exchange it from different location from a different batch.
Or, better yet, for your troubles, ask VZW to upgrade you to a 9630 device

Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

The error is occuring because the jar ignores the system classpath.
You need to set your classpath in the manifest file to find the external jars.
Otherwise the external jars will not be found.
In your case class javax/mail/MessagingException
For example:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.4.2_05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: TheGMailClient
Class-Path: . jars/mail.jar jars/activation.jar
The path will need to be correct in the above related to your system.
Also because you mention a gif image.
You will need to add the image to the jar - you haven't.
make sure you are loading the GIF image file in a manner that can be used from a jar.
Image image = null;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("logo.gif"));
catch {
// what ever
}You may need a relative path to the image in the jar depending on where the gif is.
For example image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("images/test.gif"));

Since latest upgrade I have 2 problems 1. fast dial didn't work, but has been fixed with changing the version. This happened before. Now the big problem is when I attempt to upload pics Facebook or attach documents to e-mail firefox crashes. HELP!

tried several suggestions. Nothing works

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Hyperlinks in FrameMaker 8 File don't work consistently when PDF'd

I have a FrameMaker 8 file with internal hyperlinks. When I test them in FrameMaker they work but when I PDF the file SOME of them are not working. I'm using Acrobat 8 as well.

This thread may be dead already, but I'll chime in anyway....
Kelly (response #5) touches on something that I think is important: character style changes in a heading or other paragraph style (such as table title) can cause the link to end at the point where the character style changes.
For example, consider a heading containing italics: "Configuring the Merlin System." Whether the hyperlink is broken depends on how you apply the italics:
If the italics are applied using a named style such as Emphasis, the hyperlink breaks at the "M." "Configuring the" is hyperlinked, but "Merlin System" is not.
If the italics are applied without assigning a character style but only by setting Angle to Italics in the Character Designer, the entire heading is hyperlinked. That's the good news. The bad news is that your italics are missing in the TOC.
This behavior is not necessarily buggy. It is required, in fact, for creating hyperlinks manually: you mark your text with a named character style and then create a "hyperlink" marker in it. What would be nice is if Adobe would separate the feature into two flavors: one that works for generated links regardless of character style, and one that works in its current form for user-created links.
Fixing bad links:
If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional, use Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool. It draws a box around each link. Drag the box handles to resize a link around the proper area.

Links to .mp3 files don't work in OS5...?

Hello all,
Ever since upgrading to iOS5 - I can't play certain .mp3 files hosted on my server - this was not an issue in previous versions.
Links like this: http://www.dksound.com/media/DK_Radio_3_2011.mp3
appear broken on the iPad and Iphone but play just fine on other devices.
Any suggestions
Thank you
Rasmus Schwenger

Rasmus-
Its your website as far as the iPad is concerned! That doesn't mean that iOS 5 is not at fault. I still think it would be worth providing the specifics to Apple at <iPad Feedback>. There might be a simple correction that could be made to the next iOS 5 revision.
At least some other websites do not have the problem, so there is most likely something in your website's HTML code that is different. Is it possible to download the HTML code of other websites and compare with yours?
