PAL / .avi images getting "stuck"

hello
I have PAL avi movies to cut a project - opened on a sequence - not asking for render - play audio but video gets "stuck"and won't follow audio...
Is it RAM issues? Do I need more memory?

Do I need more memory?
For the 800 mHz G4 listed below your message? It's maxed out already at 1.5 GB.
What codec do your .avi files use?
You might try setting FCP to "Safe RT" and "Play Base Layer Only" to have the video playback more smoothly.

Image gets "stuck" in reader and I can't open new.

I have a treo 700wx running windows mobile 5.0. Downloaded Reader for pdf files. It opens the first file flawlessly. When you try to open a subsequent file, it's like the original image gets "stuck" in the viewer. I have to perform a reset to move on to a new file and then the new file "sticks" also not letting me open subsequent files. I have re-installed reader once and have the same issue. Has anyone ever heard of this or can anyone offer any advice?

Could you attach the PDF you're trying to view to this thread.

Canvas/work area image gets stuck, doesn't show any changes made?

For some reason, if I minimize my Photoshop CS4 window for a few minutes and come back to it the canvas image I was working on is stuck for lack of better words. I change the zoom, doesn't do anything, although it shows at the top that I did in fact zoom to x%. Same for even using the brush to scribble, making layers invisible etc. Basically anything that changes what you see on the main canvas.
The only quickest way I have found to fix this is by dragging the tab of the project I'm working on out to show it in a window then dragging it back into the main working area again. This is clearly frustrating, has this happened to anyone else? Any idea of how to fix this? I couldn't find a single thing about this issue on Google.
The program itself doesn't even say not responding or anything at all, all menus open etc. so Photoshop itself isn't actually frozen, I'm baffled.
I'm running Photoshop CS4 (Extended) on Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate.

Sounds like you need a display driver update.
Go to the web site of the maker of your video card, and download and install their latest driver for your hardware.
That usually fixes this.
If it doesn't try disabling the OpenGL Drawing setting in Edit - Preferences - Performance.

Dynamic image getting "stuck"

I have an application where you "page through" recipes. You can see it here. The recipes are a list with an item renderer of the "recipe card", controlled with a stepper skinned to look like "next" /"previous" buttons.
In the next iteration of this, I needed to add a "sponsored by" badge to one recipe card.
So, I added a section in the XML for that recipe only, with the path to the client's logo image in the xml. And then I added below the recipe description this code:
<s:Group click="goRecipe(XML(data).sponsor.link)">
 <s:BitmapImage source="/images/{XML(data).sponsor.image}"/>
</s:Group>
It works, but once the image displays for the sponsored recipe (the one where this value exists), it is "stuck" and shows up as you page back through the other desserts. It shows up on every other dessert, even if they have no sponsor node in the XML and they were blank before. Changing the "tab" in the recipe book (which refreshes the list by changing its filterFunction) clears the image again. But once it displays it stays.
Any ideas?

glad you got it working
i was going to say, sometimes, depending on how you load the data, the itemRenderer's data property can be null. in these cases you can add
if (this.data == null) {
return;
to the dataChange handler.
An alternative to dataChange events is to override the set data method:
override public function set data(value:Object) : void {
super.data = value;
if (value.sponsorImage != null || value.sponsorImage != undefined) {
 sponsorImage.source = value.sponsorImage;
 sponsorImage.visible = true;
} else {
 sponsorImage.source = null;
 sponsorImage.visible = false;
something like that...

Export and Edit in PS gets stuck on one image

Each time I start Lightroom I can export an image to a file from either the library or develop modules fine but if I then select a second image and export it to the same folder it exports the first image again after giving me the error message that the file already exists. I have now found that this exact problem is happening when I use the Edit in Photoshop tool. It gets stuck on the first image even though I have selected a different one.
This problem has only just occurred and I cannot understand why. Has anyone an idea of what may be wrong?

My guess, also: That selection is actually of two photos, not just the one you highlighted. LR uses the concept of Selected and More Selected, and I haven't figured out all the permutations.

IDVD problem burning and multiplexing - gets stuck but ejects the DVD and the DVD doesn't play

I am having trouble burning DVDs. Everything seems to be working fine during the iDVD project creation. I can watch the movie and select scenes within iDVD. Then, when I go to burn the DVD, it gets stuck at the burning/multiplexing stage - the wheel just keeps spinning and says there is about a minute left. Yet it ejects the DVD and the DVD won't play when inserted into a DVD player. It will show the intro and the scene selection pages but when you click on one of the scenes, it gets stuck and doesn't play. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iDVD. The problem persists. It seems like the burner itself is the problem. What can I do to fix it? I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 with a 2.8 GHzintel Core 2 Duo and iDVD version 7.0.4.

Hi
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.

"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.

(Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.

Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
• Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
• No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
• No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
• On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

IPhoto '11 (9.3) - Won't upgrade library after update to 9.3 (gets stuck on Step 5)

Two weeks ago I upgraded iPhoto to 9.3 using the automatic Apple updater. Thereafter, when I try to re-start iPhoto, iPhoto automatically attempts to upgrade the library using multiple steps. Each time the process gets stuck on one of the steps, hanging for as long as I'd let it. Force quit doesn't show the process/application as not responding, but I can kill the applicaiton and try again.
I see this is a somewhat common occurrence (for example, here), but I haven't yet found a solution that works, at least not for me.
Since this problem has started occurring, the process tends to get stuck at the end of step 5:
I have tried multiple solutions, including holding down alt/option or control when starting iPhoto for force a rebuild of the library (same result). I reinstalled iPhoto from the App store (same result). I went back to a version of my iPhoto library from before the problem started using a Time Machine backup of the iPhoto Library (same result). And in response to some threads suggesting removing the files like com.apple.iPhoto.plist (see here) but I can't find any "com.apple.iPhoto.*" files on my HD. Interestingly (maybe) I don't have a HD -> Users -> Home -> Library directory at all. I only have a HD -> Library directory (although perhaps this is where it shows up for my primary account when I'm using this account).
I'd be very grateful for any help/suggestions/guidance.
For example, is there a log file showing the date that I upgraded to the newest iPhoto release so I can be sure I'm restoring an older iPhoto library? Any other ideas?
Many thanks!
-DJg

I have try to do few things like rebuild library, intalling old version etc. at the end always i got images and events but I loose folders and albums.
So finally
I bought external drive to make a copy of my images
I found my old backup of MAC OS X before upgrade to Lion and install them
All folers are existing so now I can imoprt only images from last two months and rearrange them into folders.
I will stay with version 9.2.3 and wait at least 1-2 month before I will install any new update from Apple.

Does iDVD work with Maverick? This is the first time I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything.

I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick, first time I tried after upgrading to Maverick a few weeks ago. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I did not have a DVD handy to burn but I have just created a small 2 minute video and created a Disk Image and also a VIDEO_TS folder, the encoding worked correctly, so it works with some items.
You may get a better responce in the iDVD forum.

DVD plays well on some machines, gets stuck on others

Made a 20-minute DVD, having done all my editing, etc. in iMovie and exported to iDVD5. Once burned, tested it on my iMac and it worked fine. Also worked fine in a friend's stand-alone DVD player.
But some users since have this problem: the DVD plays well for a few minutes, but gets "stuck" after a while, and ultimately freezes. And it's not the same "stuck" point for each user (if that was the case, I would think the physical disk had a problem.) It's different points for different people that it seems to get "stuck" and freezes.
In one case, user took "stuck" disk out of stand-alone DVD player and watched it in their laptop (PC) and all went well.
Any hints as to why the DVD is getting stuck on some DVD players?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4
Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Probably a "bad" burn, the result of a DVD-R that some players don't like.
Try these things:
1) another brand of DVD-R (I Like Verbatim)
2) Burn at a slower speed. To do this with iDVD you have to "save as disk image" and then burn the image with Disk Utility (DU) or Toast. For some reason, I can't always choose slower burning speeds with DU, not sure why.

Time Machine gets stuck on cleaning up

Hi, I can't complete a back up successfully with Time Machine. I get stuck on the 'cleaning up' phase and then it stays there forever. I actually went to work and when I came home it was still in the same state. Then I can't stop the back-up cleanly. I have to go in to Activity Monitor to force quit.
Following the advice on pondini.org I have installed the Buddy widget. It tells me that....

Following advice on here, I have also done a verify/repair disk on both my macbook and the time capsule external drive. Both reported to be ok.
Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks
gemzap

No luck I'm afraid.... I dismounted (then completely unplugged) the time capsule. Then reconnected, clicked in to the timecapsule drive to make sure it wasn't napping, and tried again. The messages on the time machine read as follows..

So at 7am this morning I clicked stop back up. But again that hasn't don't anything, so have just done a force quit in Activity Monitor.

What are you backing-up to? If you can see the +sparse bundle+ your backups are in via the Finder, use the instructions in #A5 for repairing the backups on a Time Capsule. If you can't see it, you can't repair them with DIsk Utility (or most 3rd-party disk repair apps). Check with the maker of the NAS for help.
Further, i thought it would be something with the message "Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD"
That's normal after a failed/cancelled backup, and will be repeated each time until one completes successfully. See #A6 in Troubleshooting for details.
Besides, my spotlight is now indexing my harddisk and seems to get stuck on "calculating time for indexing"
This is because i excluded my harddisk from spotlight, restarted my mac and then included my harddisk again for spotlight. So it needed to reindex it, but i'm not sure that it will work, because it allready toke the whole day for it and is still saying the same thing..
That sounds like a problem with a file or the directory structure on your internal HD. Did you verify your internal HD, per #3 in the green box? If so, and if it says it's ok, exclude your internal HD from Spotlight indexing until you get your backups working; then you can figure out what's wrong with Spotlight.

Getting stuck in POST instead of restarting

Hi guys.
I would appreciate some help here...
Whenever I apply (or at least try to) a setting in my BIOS menu, there is chance my mobo cannot handle it, which is fair and square.
BUT: Instead of rebooting and then rebooting again to say that my OC has failed or aomething like that to declare failure to apply settings, it just gets stuck before it posts! So here I am with a blank computer screen but with a pc which is apparently working... Of course no windows booting or HDD movement at all.. What can I do to fix this? I am tired of reseting the CMOS using the backplate button. Even though the SAVE SETTINGS menu is incredibly time earning in those cases, I dare say I am fed up with ClearingCMOS for a small mistake!!
What should I do?
Oh, I thought it was good to apply the lowest - close to auto - setting for some of the voltages in the cell menu. I guessed it would help not overdo it with pumping the voltages up for no reason. I have not OCed now, but until then I would like to check if this minimum 1.10 (a notch above the Auto setting) is OK.
Thank you in advance.

iraklisvel, I will post a screenshot from the mainboard's user manual, page 3-23:
[Click image to enlarge it]
As you can see, there are two procedures in case the system does not boot because of a failed overclock and I can promise you that you will save a lot of time if you clear CMOS instead of waiting for the the system to reboot a fourth time.
My suggestion is to save the last stable and your experimental settings in independent profiles under "USER SETTINGS" in BIOS. These profiles are not erased when your clear CMOS and provide and easy and fast way to load a set of custom settings.
To answer your other questions:
Quote
1. Undervolting. When I apply 1.10Vcore instea of 1.11, the mobo hangs. It just does not POST. We all know that such a minor decrease in vCore would hurt anyone so bad right?
I had no problems undervolting my E6600 as long as the clock speeds matched the voltage values.
Quote
2. Memory settings that are supposed to work 100% sure. Do you find it reasonable not being able to POST in ddr2 - 800 4-4-412 with 1066 modules? Because they actually do it on other mobos.
I had no problems to make a set of G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ run stably @4-4-4-12/2.1V on the P45 Platinum (@DDR2-800 of course). Never tested with the Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G memory I got though.
Quote
3. Multiplier Setting. Not all of them worked in the BIOS that came with the mobo. I guess this was a mistake which was not mine, right? It got (not fully) fixed when I updated the BIOS.
Overclocking my E6600 to 400 MHz FSB x9 was no problem with a small voltage bump from 1.250V to 1.330V (EIST & C1E enabled). 450 MHz FSB Clock speed x 9 was a problem, however it worked with the x8 multiplier. @500 MHz FSB the x8 multiplier became a problem but I could stabilize the system using x7. Maybe 500 MHz x 8 is possible with a couple of voltage adjustions. But testing these things takes time and I did not have that time yet.
The bottom line is: The stability of a multiplier depends on a bunch of other settings as well. I don't know under what conditions you have tested the different multipliers.
