Question: Why does DVDSP "hang: when adding subtitles

I'm having a real problem adding subtitles to my 3.7 GB project. It's all built and I was in the process of adding subtitles to the 1 hr 30 minute film. Yesterday it worked fine, copying and pasting from a text application into subtitles I'm making as I go, but today it's been a nightmare.
I find after only two or there additions, I suddenly get the spinning wheel "program not responding" and have to force quit. I reopen the project and if I'm lucky I can add two or three subtitles, saving each time, before I get the"spinning wheel of frustration".
(problem posting this message so this is a repost)
I have no idea what's causing it. But it DVDSP at this stage of my project definitely doesn't like subtitles being edited, moved or played. It becomes unstable and then hangs.
I've downloaded the latest security update incase that helped, turned off the clock, (old habit) Nothing works.
A project that was going to take two hours to finish looks like taking two days now! I'll plod on but I could really do with some help.
Any ideas?

Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

Hi,
Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
Shutting down and then restarting works fine.

Why does Firefox hang when accessing SSL content on Oracle 10.3.6 WebLogic with JSSE enabled?

For several weeks we have been working with Oracle support to find out why our Firefox browser hangs for 20-30 seconds when connecting to SSL content on 10.3.6 WebLogic only when JSSE is enabled. It occurs when first attempting to connect to an enterprise WebLogic deployment. When JSSE is disabled the problem does not occur but JSSE must be enabled on WebLogic for our configuration. The problem also does 'not' occur when JSSE is enabled when using IE (8). In 10.3.5 WebLogic, the issue does not occur with Firefox but 10.3.6 is our preferred version and this is a major issue for us.
For the Firefox version, we used version 18 and 17 with no difference. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I did remove the entry and restarted the managed server, but nodemanager added the option again.
Regarding startup.properties, it doesn't have any ssl configuration:

Why does Bridge hang when selecting thumbs

I've been working on a script that looks through all the currently visible images in Bridge and selects a subset of them. In my case, I'm selecting only the latest version of an image (e.g. the PSD, not the NEF). My code logic is working to identify the thumbs that I want to select, but when I try to actually select them in Bridge, I find that Bridge hangs.
The whole script is a bit complicated, but the relevant part to my problem is:
for (i = 0; i < fileNames.length; i++)
if (!fileNames[i].hasDerivative)
var thumbObj = currentThumbs[fileNames[i].thumbIndex];
app.document.select(thumbObj);
If I comment out the app.document.select line, the script works perfectly. I've even written debugging code that verifies that my script finds all the right thumbs. But, when I try to actually select them in Bridge, Bridge hangs and I have to kill it from task manager.
Is there something I'm either doing wrong or need to know about app.document.select(thumb) in Bridge? Why would that call hang? Could I somehow be passing an invalid thumb to this function? Is there a way I can write debugging code to test if it's a valid thumb I'm passing in all cases?

Hmmm. That's not very convenient and it doesn't prevent my mistake. At the cost of a lot more typing, it can prevent other scripts from accidentally referencing or colliding with your variable names, but it doesn't prevent you from accidentally colliding with other people's variables if you leave off the object qualifier when you are typing.
When I saw a reference to namespaces in something I was reading, It thought it was more like real namespaces (e.g. C++ namespaces) where you define a scope where all declared or referenced variables are automatically in that namespace unless they are explicitly referenced/declared otherwise. Does JavaScript not have that capability?
It would be more like this:
namespace MyProgram {
var i = 3;
// lots of other code here
With a real namespace, "i" wouldn't be a global variable. It's real name/declaration would be MyProgram.i or MyProgram::i depending upon the syntax.
Does JavaScript not have real namespaces?
I get that I can explicitly declare everything to a scope of MyProgram to simulate some benefits of namespaces, but that's a lot of extra typing and, presumably a bunch of extra work for the interpreter since there's at least one extra dictionary lookup for every variable or function reference.

Why does Safari hang when launching?

Using Safari 1.3 on 10.3.9 for a couple weeks now; everything has been running well, until today.
Safari will launch from a Help command within an application (eg: any CS application), open it's own window, blue connection status gets halfway across the window bar, then it will hang with the spinning beach ball... until I force quit.
Same thing happens when launched from the dock or directly from the applications folder. Explorer, Firefox all work fine. All other apps working fine.
Tried trashing Safari prefs, no change. Deleted all Safari files and tried to install v1.2 instead (as a download from Apple), but now the Safari installer hangs as well. No problem with installing or re-installing other apps.
Additionally, Sherlock will now no longer launch.
Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

Why does Labview hang when switching from one TestStand application to another?

I have several 2013 TestStand applications that use a number of LabView 2013 VIs on a test computer. When the operator closes one TestStand program and opens another often Labview does not close properly and so when TestStand tries to load the LabView VIs it hangs or just runs and every test that is affected by LabView fails. The only potential issues that I know about are that two of the applications were created in LabView 2009 and then updated to 2013. Then two other TestStand applications that were created in 2013 use the function "UnloadAllModules".
Are there any known issues with LabView 2013 that cause this or any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Michael,
I did find my issue. In my case a VI was not getting closed properly in cleanup due to the previous command not passing the handler out correctly. Thus this VI would remain open and when I ran another TestStand Sequence, when it tried to load that LabView VI it would just hang. But the result of this error could be seen when I closed TestStand and LabView stayed open (since it was frozen) or when done running the sequence and closing it. Then if you tried to pop-up LabView it would not show the starting splash screen because it had froze.
I found the problem by turning on the show VI front panel option in TestStand for all of the VI calls. The VI that stayed open was the problem VI.
Thanks everyone who responded for your help!

Why does sqlplus hang when run with -s?

hi guys,
when i run it with -s (on Unix), it often just hangs - has anyone experienced this before?
thank you

wow. you're right,
i always thought the -s just meant silent, in that it would not print out that login stuff.
thanksInstead of just "thinking" what it meant, why didn't you look it up in the SQL Plus reference manual? ESPECIALLY since you were having trouble with it ....

Why does Firefox hang when I try to open yahoo? It also hangs after I use it for a little bit.

When I try to open yahoo Firefox will hang and when I try to restart it will close but stay running. It seems to have started when yahoo went to the new version.I reset my screen resolution to 1152 by 864 pixels like yahoo said no difference. Firefox will also hang if I go to several web sites with out going to yahoo. I changed my home page to Hotmail instead of yahoo and it will open just fine. Any help will be appreciated. Rodney.

Why does it hang when downloading windows support software? its been downloading for hours stuck at about 20%. I'm on a current ten macbook air.

takes forever, I honestly don't think its doing anything. I'v already have windows 7 installed on a seperate partition... no help to bootcamp, I just need the drivers. I really don't understand why the only option of obtaining the hardware drivers is on a god-only-knows-how-many-gigabyte file through the bootcamp application... it would be SOO much easier if it just gave us a link on a site where we can download em individually. I'v seen alot of others complain about the download status bar freezing at around 20% aswell. if it is downloading anything, the status bar is broken... and thats annoying. maybe I'm just being ignorant. can someone who knows better please explain a more convinient method of obtaining windows 7 drivers for a macbook air?

hehe
it was same for me too but its not stuck at 60%, be patience.
What was i do on that time i keep it for whole night and morning it was done so almost i kept for 12hr.
Try again it will be done.

Why does safari hang when I'm entering a form on a web page?

My company requires us to use iPads to access a web site where we enter information on our patients. Whenever I tap the save or submit button in either Safari or Mercury the application hangs with no activity in the title bar. I can tap the home key and run other apps but the browsers hang. The only other computers I have access to are Windows desktops and the same site works fine on them. I've tried this through wi-fi and through 3G with the same results. Any suggestions on what I can try or change to stop this issue?

Contact your company IT department and tell them of the issue.

I thought your company required you to access this site using iPads?

Why does Thunderbird hang when a login dialog is open at the same time as a file save dialog?

This happens frequently. And if there is any open email I am composing at the same time, it is LOST. This appears to be a bug that would rarely trigger in the normal case, but I have several email accounts active at once and one of them sometimes throws up a login window. If I happen to simultaneously be trying to save an attachment, the save dialog pops up and neither "Save" nor "Cancel" buttons work anymore and it is impossible to get the login dialog to respond. Thunderbird cannot respond to window cycle requests, so I can't even get to the edit windows to screen-shot them. The only thing I can do is kill the process and lose everything.

printscrn on the keyboard should still work unless the operating system is also dead.
However, while it may be a bug please try the following steps to make sure.
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]

Acrobat 9 hangs when adding a text box

It seems that any installation of Acrobat 9 I have come across, Acrobat hangs when adding a text box from "Forms>Add or Edit Fields".
I may need to apply an update or two but this problem seems very consistent and reproducable.
I plan on trying Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP to see if it makes any difference, but does anyone have any ideas? OTHER than upgrading to Acrobat X?

Textbox takes few extra seconds to establish himself, but it never hangs for me. Did you tried to click-n-drag to create Textbox?
