Problems finalising an iMovie5 to iDVD6 project

I've spent days trying to solve my particular problem on my own so thought I'd see if anyone else has had a similar experience and can suggest a workround.
I'll try and be brief: I've been working for months on a movie celebrating my mum & dad's Golden Wedding, involving the digitising of old 8mm cine film and video, scanning old pics, etc and putting together a 'classic' compilation of Golden Memories in half a dozen iMovie5 projects.
I'd upgraded my whole iLife suite to version 6, excluding iMovie6 because I didn't want to have any conflicts with this project in the transition to the new version (something I'd had problems with in earlier upgrading experiences).
I created the iDVD project with no problems - and actually enjoyed the experience of compiling the Big Picture with all the source movies, pics and sounds into the one place - and was very proud of the end result after 'trialling' out the navigation and links via DVD Player.
Except now I can't seem to get a disc burned so I can now share it round with the rest of the family. Initially I had 73 minutes of video, including the menus, all of which would take up 3.9Gb of a DVD - according to the project profile - but the encoding would get 90% there and then announce various problems. I have over 35Gb free space on my Start Up Disk for the encoding and I've let it go overnight three times overnight, with no other apps running. After deleting one movie 'extra' that I created - bringing the space to be used down to 3.8Gb - the project successfully encoded and I managed to burn a disc. I got very excited by this and promptly stuck in a second blank disc to swiftly burn another one.
When I viewed the first disc on my domestic player and TV, the links on the main movie - a 20 minute montage with scene selection 'chapters' created in iMovie - the scenes selected don't link to the actual movie scenes and link to other individual movies in a submenu I created for 'outtakes' and other extras. In the second disc that burned selecting the movie scenes brings up the correct video, but they run with the audio from the scenes that follow.
The first disc I used was an Apple DVD and the second one was a Verbatim (one that I can print graphics on) but I've never had problems with this before. It's strange that the two discs play so differently, especially as they follow up on the same encoding process. When I review the project on the Mac again, everything plays fine and the scenes all correspond correctly from the scene selection menu.
Anybody got any suggestions what what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers
Bill

Well, I've tried rebuilding the entire project from scratch and, while the main 20 minute movie works fine from the title menu, if I try using scene selection to skip to a particular scene from the 7 'chapters' I designated within iMovie they now all skip to a single movie I added in as a submenu 'extra'. Totally frustrating - and expensive - as I've now burned 6 useless DVDs. It's the length of time it takes to produce the faulty discs that is most annoying. All the 'tests' while running it on the Mac are fine.
Does anyone know if I should now just bite the bullet and upgrade the iMovie project from 5 to 6, as that may be where the conflict arises? It's just that I've heard that iMovie 6 is a bit sluggish. Is this right?

Problems with rendering a 16:9 project with Chapter markers to iDVD

Hi there
I'm having an issue where I'm trying to export a DVD for a client with chapter markers as it's required. Problem is when I put the project into iDVD the project squishes back to 4:3 ratio.
One solution that was on here was to use the Quicktime Conversion to create a 16:9 video however when I use Quicktime conversion I lose the chapter markers
I need to have both 16:9 ratio and Chapter Markers in the DVD how do I overcome this problem?

Anamorphicizer didn't work.
I can use Quicktime Pro cause I currently have Quicktime X on my computer (snow leopard) which doesn't have a Pro upgrade.
Any myDVDedit is really confusing to use do I have to export the DVD into a VIDEO_TS file to fix it? I'm still puzzled

Problem with trimming from a cs2 project

Hello
I'll get straight to the point.
I started editing a projects in premiere pro 2 and i then decided to open that project from my new pc(win 7,64 bit) which has cs5 installed,
problem is,when i opened the project everything was there but not exactly where it suposed to be, clips where trimmed wrong,sound clips whee desynchronized from the video.
Have i done something wrong ? Any solutions?

Try importing to a later version like CS3 or CS4, then saving and then importing the newly saved project into CS5. The differences between CS2 and CS5 may be too big and cause the problems you experience.
If you don't have access to these versions, adhere to the old wisdom: Finish your project in the version you started with.

Does the new version of DVDSP open iDVD6 projects????

Does the new version of DVDSP open iDVD6 projects???
I tried to open an iDVD project in DVDSP 4 (because I liked the iDVD template I had used for that project)...
but I couldn't do it. If I upgrade to the latest version of DVDSP... can I do it then?
Thanks,
Erik Nanstiel

You are limited to importing iDVD 3 and 4 projects with DVDSP 3 or 4. And since they didn't update DVDSP in Final Cut Studio 2, it seems this limitation will be around for a while.
Here's the relevent Apple support article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301385

Problem while assigning multiple staffing to project role.

Dear All,
I am facing problem while assigning multiple staffing to project role.
In the project role, we are doing staffing ( assigning BP). While assigning the BP's getting below errors.
Resource assignments overlap
Message no. DPR_BUPA_LINK004
Diagnosis
The validity period '10.02.2008'-'01.03.2008' for the assignment of project role Product Manager and ' Rakesh Pradhan' overlaps with the validity period of the assignment ''.
However, the project role type does not allow several staffings to be edited at the same time in the project role.
System Response
The system does not allow this constellation of data when saving.
Procedure
Check and correct the start and finish dates of the staffings affected.
Request you to advise in fiixng the issue.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Biplab,
For multiple staffings in the same time frame, check the option of 'Edit in Parallel' in the Role Type settings in SPRO.
Let me know if that helps.
Regards,
Vivek Pandey

How do I import an existing finalised imovie into a new project either in part or full. The movie I want to import is filed under "movies" but greyed out when I go through the procedure in imovie 11

How do I import an existing finalised movie clip into a new developing project ? I go through the imovie 11 procedure for importing and the list of clips (finalised and un-finalised) appears, but always "greyed out" which makes it impossible to create anything. I have tried placing it on the desk top and dragging but this doesn't work either.

AppleMan Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents" but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb. Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong. Babowa It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

Problem with system settings for different project.

Hello, I have something that pauses me a lot of problems. I work on different editing projects with deferent externe Hard Disc. I have 3 of those but on each one I have the video and sound and render...importation for one specific project. The thing is that I want that FC automatically changes the setting to where make the saves and import the new material (video cassettes...). It means if I open a project in disc 1 and import video it does not put it in disc 2 just, disc on witch I worked juste before on an other project. I'll have a lot of off media problems and risks of loosing things...
What can I do ?
Thanks for reading !

YOu have to manually reset the Scratch Disk for each project you open. There is no automated way to do this in FCP at this time.

Problems with using old web service project with new WLS/OEPE install

I developed a java web service two years ago using WLS 10.3.3 and OEPE. After development I checked the workspace into Subversion including the .metadata directory. The web service was deployed to a production WLS box and is running fine.
Now I have a new Windows 7 desktop computer. I have installed WLS 10.3.3 and OEPE on my new desktop and am trying to get the web service I wrote two years ago to run locally. When OEPE launches I point the workspace to the workspace project directory (from two yrs ago) that I have just checked out from Subversion. However when the OEPE IDE comes up I have many errors in the java code. Pretty much every java class is flagged with a "cannot be resolved to a type" error.
Also, when I try to create a new server and domain, I have a problem there. I select "Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 2" as the server type, click Next on the wizard, but then on the next window where you select the Domain, the Domain Directory is disabled and will not let me enter a value, and the link to allow you to create a new Domian is not visible.
Feeling kind of stupid as this should be really simple to do. Am I proceeding correctly by saving off the entire workspace and then trying to use that workspace in the new WLS/OEPE install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried creating a new workspace, then import the project from your subversion workspace?

Hibernate problem..... using projection and conjunction together..

hi all ,
can we use projection and conjunction together??
i want to execute a query like this..
select column_1 , column_2 from table_name where column_1 like '%a' ;

hi ian
you could also try verifying if the jar libraries containing your Document and Paragraph classes are defined in your class path OR if you are using an IDE, did you include that under your LIbraries?
The previous suggestion below also is a stop-gap to the library inclusion problem.
Hope that helps

Problem with opening final cut studio3 project files

hello, i m using final cut studio 3 and it seems it ocured a problem with the projects
after i work on a project and save it, i can t open it anymore(it apears a dialog box wich it says unable to open project file)
i ve uninstalled final cut, installed again and the problem it s still there
cam you give me an advice about what i can do?
thank you

Uninstalling/reinstalling rarely helps in issues like these and is usually a huge waste of time... It sounds more like a corrupt project than anything. Is FCP able to open other projects?
Hopefully you have Autosave turned on, as that may be your only salvation... So go to your Autosave Vault (usually located in your documents folder, in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder).

Problem with exporting still from 4k project

When exporting a still from a 4k project I get a white or transparent picture (depending on the chosen file type). Does anyone know if there's a solution to this problem?

There is no 4K interlaced format. Are you sure that's the setting you're using? Is the playhead over the frame you want to export? Can't reproduce the problem you're seeing.

Ressource Problem: Export with graphical reports from projects with integrated sub-projects

Hi all,
i have the following problem with the exported data of the graphical reports possibility.
Expected output:
OLAP Cube with processes and ressources
Setup:
Project Server 2010 with Enterprise ressource pool
One main project with 6 integrated sub-projects
Every ressource is assigned to just one sub-project or the main project
Problem:
The data (work and cost) in the OLAP Cube exported from the main project is 7 times (some reports 49 times) higher than the data in the main project
Tested scenarios:
Export just processes -> data is correct
Export just ressources -> data is 7 times higher
Generate another main project with 2 sub-projects and no ressources in the main project - Export of processes and ressources -> data is 2 times higher
Because of the tested scenarios I expect that this is a problem caused by ressources and integrated sub-projects.
I hope that this community is able to help me to solve this problem.
Thanks & all the bests,
Holger

Using the "Baseline work report", I can't reproduce your issue:
I have 1 task in each project (2 projects) with a resource assigned on each task (80hrs). The report correctly shows me 160 hrs.
Which Project 2010 SP and CU do you have? I'd suggest you to install the
latest version and see if it helps.
Hope this helps,
