Not Responding - Encoding Audio

I created an iMovie and shared to iDVD, played with the theme etc... When I run the 'burn' command the Prepare, Process Menus, Process Slideshows all work but the 'Process Movies' gets stuck when Encoding Audio and the app is the 'not respoiding'.
Anyone else experience this?

Finally got it to work. The only change I made
was
to the Theme. I shot my movie in 16:9 and was
using
a 4:3 Theme in iDVD; changing to a 16:9 Theme in
iDVD
did the trick for me. Hope this
helps...

That's the problem I've had since I got iLife 06
and OS X 10.4.4
I'm trying your solution right now, I'll let you know
if it works for me. Thanks!

Well, so much for that idea.
Anyone else have a solution? I never had any problems with Panther or the last versions of iMove or iDVD.This is frustrating!

Skype for Business client not responding after audio/video/screen sharing

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange situation in my organisation. We have more than 200 clients and we are using Lync 2013. When Skype for Business (SFB) came out I tested it and found one problem - every time when I trying to make a audio or video call or what ever kind of
file sharing or screen sharing then SFB client will hang and have error "SFB not responding". I can click restart the client and close button. So it´s not possible to call or share anything with that. Specially bad is that is eferyone else is calling
to me it cause the same problem - client will die. So it´s very easy to kill my client :) At the beginning I thought that it´s my computer problem but then it turned out that allmost all clients have the same problem. Computers are different kind of Lenovo
laptops.
What can cause the problem? I have installed and reinstalled the client. I have updated all the drivers. I have removed Personal Skype to make sure that it won´t cause the problem but problem is still there. Server itself is updated with latest CU and Skype
for Business UI is enabled as default UI.
Br,
Taavi

Hi,
Please try to uninstall the default Sound Card, VGA Device/Video Card, Graphic Card, and use the default system driver to test the issue. Because sometimes update driver to the latest version doesn't work but only use the default system.
Please also make sure OS system update to the latest version.

Can't burn iMovie to iDVD (not responding) - after "Encoding Audio"

Hello,
I have a similar post in the iDVD board, but thought someone in this section may be able to help as well.
I have a 15 minutes project (almost 2 GB) iMovie show that I've attempted to burn to DVD through iDVD (4 times with the same problem)...
It goes through the "encoding menus" and videos, but gets stuck on "Encoding Audio" and in my Force Quit window says (Not Responding). I have almost 12 GB free on my PowerBook G4 and successfully burned a test DVD of this last week before completion (when I only had 7 free GB - I also added on another 2 minutes since then)...
Any help or ideas? I need to get this done ASAP...
Thanks
Chris

Chris, what I've found is that patience is the key here. You really can't count on the progress bar to let you know how far along in the process you are. I've run into the same problem as you. When the burn symbol stops spinning and you get the beachball/lollipop don't rush right off to force quit. Just because the force quit menu shows that iDVD is NOT RESPONDING does not mean that all is lost. What made me realize that iDVD was still working was the Activity Monitor located in your Utilities folder under applications (applications/utilities/activity monitor).
Do yourself a favor and run this app while burning you project. When you get to the point where it appears to hang on you check the status of iDVD in the activity monitor window. More than likely it will show that iDVD is still using a good % of your CPU (%CPU column numbers will constantly change as iDVD demands more or less from your processor). You may also notice that it may show that iDVD is not responding (as well as a couple other processes that are related to the prog), this doesn't mean a thing because iDVD is in reality still chugging along. Of course if the %CPU column is showing 0.00 then iDVD has indeed stopped workin in which case you do have some issues.
Hope this helps

IDVD won't ecode audio, 'not responding' = force quit

IDVD 6 /10.4.7/MACPRO
iDVD won't encode audio portion from iMovie had off.
original iMovie from DV camera, iMove encodes QT, etc
iDVD encodes video ( as noted by time bar) but when it gets to the audio portion it stops responding and then I have to forcve quit.
repaired persmissions, and delited the iDVD.plist
any thing I can do? iDVD 6 is the first time I used this after update

Scooper,
iDVD is "not" slow (nor fast) encoding (actually transcoding) audio. iDVD relies on the Quicktime framework. iDVD invokes an external library from the set of resources provided by QT.
If the encoding appears to be slow. It may find its root in various origins. First, MacOSX is a Unix system. Unix is not "preemptive". It means that access to resources occurs thanks to a "good will" mode between processes (to make things short). So, it may appear that some processes are stale, but things are usually well under control (by the kernel). So, don't be hasty in killing a process reported as "not responding".
If you consider that the encoding process takes too much time, there are ways to make things better. First: More RAM. No workaround to that. Give some room to your Mac. Keep also in mind to keep free room on hard drive at least equal to 2 1/2 times the amount of RAM of your system. The Unix kernel of your Mac handles a "swap" that is used to virtually create an amount of RAM larger than what your system physically has. The kernel simply uses your hard-drive as buffer to store copies of RAM blocks occupied by portions of code or data not currently active. If all this is too small, the kernel will spend an awful amount of time dealing with the short space (RAM + free disk space for swap).
One way to figure out if you're in such case is to use one of the many administration tools available to you. Open Terminal (or a X11 xterm) and type 'top' (without quotes).
Check the last line of the header for the "pageouts" indicator. If the number in parenthesis is not zero (0), repeatedly, it means that your kernel is swapping memory block from the physical RAM to the virtual RAM stored on the hard drive (swapping).
Hit 'q' to quit top. You can also try 'top -o cpu'. This will get you which process is currently running requesting the most CPU resources. Normally, on a Unix system, if one process needs CPU and is mostly the only one at the moment asking for CPU, it can be allocated most of the available CPU time and jumps to over 80%. If you consider this "abnormal", just look at the "Load Avg." indicator. It tells you how many processes are "waiting" for their turn to access the CPU - it's averaged throughout the time, through 3 numbers. Remember the "good will" mechanism. If it remains low (up to 3, for a household Mac), then, do not worry. If it goes above, then try to quit some other user applications. An idle system reports numbers below 1.
These few sysadmin tips will tell you a lot about your system's health. Perhaps, you'll figure out by yourself what's wrong. For sure, not iDVD
Try perhaps upgrading to QT 7. There are benefits to that.

IDVD will not encode audio

Hi,
Just as the topic says, iDVD will not encode the audio......well whats happening is that it says its in the process of encoding....the bar turns grey, and has the loading color wheel thing and thats basically whats happening. Its been doing this for the past hour. I have lots of ram and memory so i dont think thats a problem.....any solutions??
Thanks

This question is frequently asked!
iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

Audio Midi Setup not responding

Hello Experts,
I have the following problem:
My Audio MIDI Setup is not responding. It starts but I have no control over it and have to force quit it to exit the application.
I have audio but I can't launch Logic Pro, Djay etc.
PLS HELP!

I used a RME Fireface 800. But I'm not using any external interface at all right now.
The situation is:
I had a Power Mac with Snow Leopard using Logic Pro. Bought a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion and installed my old environment via Time Machine on the Mac Book.
That might caused the conflict.
I spoke to an apple technician and he advised me to uninstall all applications using Audio MIDI Setup to bring the Setup back on track and then reinstall everything.
I did so but still can't launch the Audio MIDI Setup.
I was even thinking about uninstall the Audio MIDI Setup but I don't know how to reinstall it.

IDVD does not respond now

Hey New User here
Actually I had a G4 desktop and have just upgraded to the MacProBook Core Duo 2.
Ok here is the issue- over the weekend I had create these movies in iMovie. The first one was 33 minutes with audio and ken burns effects, still photos, transitions and video clips.
It took about 2.5 hours to finish rendering, encoding and finally burn.
The second of the two films also had the same things but is 55 minutes long. This one I spent several hours allowing it to do its encoding and rendering- maybe 4-5. It went through everything but then never burned the disk. I had to stop the process b/c I needed to present the movie at that point.
Based on the previous posts I have read it seems that my computer does not take as long to do the processing as many others.
Since the showing I have tried to clear my computer of the clutter, removing snips that were created in many attempts at the film. Now when I try to access iDVD (not the previous movie) I get no response.
I have looked in the Force Quit Menu and it does not say (Not Responding).
Any thoughts?
And should I just be happy with the amount of time that it takes for me to make the iDVDs?

Hi John
Two things.
Coding - processing time: Greatly depends on CPU speed, free amount of space
on Your internal hard disk and complexity of the movie.
- free space should be about 25Gb, 5 or less Gb = redicolous times (not hours but days)
- one still photo for 1 hour = less complex than 60 min of panorerings and
heavy action.
ActivityMonitor - lies reg what's happening during audio coding part of DVD
processing. iDVD doesn't respond. Just a lie !! It doesn't get it.
So as well if You force quit - it says the same. Don't belive it.
Yours Bengt W

Encoding Audio in iDVD for 41 hours. Is there any hope?

I know others have had the same problem. The Activity Monitor shows iDVD Not Responding, but still using 96% CPU. Has anyone ACTUALLY completed a DVD using iDVD 6.0.3 and OSX 10.4.8? My movie is 70 min. long with DV, photos, and iTunes music (one song from Apple Music Store).
Should I have hope and wait or Cancel and try another approach? Will creating a "Best Quality" Quicktime Movie and dragging it into iDVD give me the same quality result as my current iMovie to IDVD method?
imac G5 1.9 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iDVD 6.0.3

What i cannot understand is that iDVD and iMovie were created so that you could add transitions, music (encouraged to be from your iTunes library), titles and voice overs, yet when i (and it appears many others) try to do exactly that, we are left waiting for 24 hours + for the audio to encode.
To me this is completely unacceptable. I would understand if i was using some software that didnt recomend you to use iTunes as a music source, or it wasnt designed to add a couple of songs along the timeline.
If iTunes suddenly stopped being able to play music files or transfer them to your iPod there would be an uproar. Thats what iTunes was designed for, to arrange your music, and transfer it to your iPod.
And thats what iMovie and iDVD were invented for. To edit videos, and add music from your itunes library to those videos and then create your own DVD.
Dont get me wrong, I apreciate all the posts offering workarounds and suggestions to finish off what should be a simple project, i just feel that a lot of people think that its 'us' to blame (the persons having the problem) and not the software which was desinged to do the very thing that it currently isnt doing.
Ive just spent £1000 on a new Macbook because i was sick to the back teeth of the problems i always exprienced on windows. Now i have a project sitting on my machine using up valuable space whilst i wait and hope that a fix will come out.
Anyway, appologies for my rant

Idvd freezing before it starts encoding audio

Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone could help me with a problem i'm having with idvd. Everytime (6 times so far) my dvd is encoding the video it will suddenly freeze just before it starts audio encoding. What does this mean and is there any way to prevent it?

This question is frequently asked!

FMLE 3 Not Responding

I have no problems with Flash Media Live Encoder 2.5 other than it doesn't sense my audio device, however version 3 solves this problem. Unfortunately, whenever I use version 3 it always freezes up and the program says it's "not responding." I've tried reinstalling it only to get the same problem again. Why does it do this and how can I fix it?

Please use the latest 3.0.1 version, and see if the problem still exist.

1) Compressor artifacts and 2) Processes not responding

The whole reason I switched from Windows/Premier to Mac/Final Cut was to avoid broken software. I'm beginning to think the Mac is no better. Well, that's not entirely true. I think OS X is more stable than any version of windows but DVD Studio Pro 4.0.2 is a step back in stability at least for me. Before upgrading to Tiger and FCS, I could reliably build and burn DVDs. Now I can no longer pry a complete working DVD out of DVDSP4.
I've got so many problems and so many questions I don't know if I should post them all in one message. I guess I'll keep them in one message but try to keep it short.

BACKGROUND
I shoot and edit a weekly local soap opera: http://www.shadesoflife.net
Each time I complete four episodes I create a DVD with these four episodes on it for the cast. This DVD I'm working on is for episodes 92 through 95 and I'm adding chapter marks and scene indexes to the DVD. By using the DVDSP templates and the correct drop zones, this has been quite easy, except for the fact that I can't seem to get the video to import any more.
Actually I got three of my four episodes to import just fine. These were exported from FCP as stand-alone QT movies and included chapter marks. Episode 94 would never finish the background compression step when importing into the DVDSP project as an asset.
Because of the suggestions I read in other articles in this discussion group about this kind of problem, I deleted the episode 94 audio and video assets from the project along with all menus which referenced them. I then started Compressor and transcoded the Episode 94 stand-alone QT movie and got these two files as a result:
"SOL-094-DVD PCM Audio-.aiff"
"SOL-094-MPEG-2 60 min Fast Encode-.m2v"
Next I imported these assets into the DVDSP project and used them to build the menus. This went smoothly. But, when I run the DVD simulation in DVDSP, episode 94 shows serious artifacts which render it unwatchable.
QUESTIONS: What Compressor encoding settings should I be using? What is the meaning of "60 min" and "120 min" in the encode settings? If I use a "120 min" setting will the file be bigger or smaller?
As I set here after reading the similar problems people have posted and the solutions and work-arounds people have suggested I see that a number of processes are not responding, according to the activity monitor. Generally this means that something is broken, but what. After rebooting OS X, running Compressor and then DVDSP I see the following processes that are not responding:
- compressor
- coreaudiod
- DSPX_AEncoderServer
- DSPX_EncoderServer
- two copies of MediaServer
When I exit DVDSP all but the top two disappear. What is "not responding" a symptom of?
I could sure use some help here. Thanks.
Peace,

IDVD-IMOVIE - encoding audio

IDVD Application stops responding when encoding audio from Imovie. Any suggestions would be helpful. I've made IDVD projects successsfully before, but can not get this project past audio encoding. I've tried exporting and sharing - but no avail.

iMovie help screen advises - "For the best compatibility with iMovie HD transitions, effects, titles, and the Ken Burns Effect, you should record your video with 48 kilohertz (kHz), 16-bit audio. Check your camera's manual for instructions on setting the audio bit rate and depth."
I’ve experimented with a ten minute movie with added audio. I set the sample rate at 48,000 khz and experienced no audio encoding stalling in iDVD.
So, if you use music you imported into iTunes, make sure the iTunes preference is set at 48,000 khz. The default is 44K.
With your present iMovie project, export as Quicktime and select "Expert Settings", click on "Options", click on "Sound settings" and set the sample rate at 48,000 khz and the sample size at 16 bit. (Also make sure the Video is set for DV/DVCPRO). Once you have this exported version of your movie, insert it into a new iMovie project, add chapters, and then go to iDVD. I can’t guarantee it will work but its worth trying.
Previously, I suggested to people to export to a DV format video camera and then insert the movie into a new iMovie project. It would result in quick audio encoding in iDVD. I recently found that my video camera exports the sound at the 48K khz sample rate, further supporting that the problem maybe the sample rate.

Encoding audio - beachball of death

I am trying to use idvd to burn an image from my imovie project. I've tried this twice now, and am completely frustrated.
iDVD encodes the video, then encodes audio, and gets about 95% complete, and then In get the beachball of death. I can't cancel, etc., and have to force quit, losing all the encoding So much for a stable operating system.
Is there a way to tell what is the problem with the audio?
thanks

I agree with Mr Shippey.
