Single Filter Render Taking Forever

I have a single timeline project (3 hours total) with one chroma filter applied over the whole project. I'm exporting it to the best DVD setting via Compressor and FCP is only rendering about 8500 frames per hour. Does that sound right?
I understand it's a huge project at 3 hours but exporting a single timeline to .m2v for DVD shouldn't be that complicated....or is it the Nattress Chroma Filter that's probably adding to the render time? Also FCP/Compressor don't seem to be taking advantage of all 8 of my processors (Mac Pro).

No, you are doing it correctly. It is just going to take a while to encode. You do realize that putting 3 hrs on a single layer DVD is a bit much. It is going to be so compressed that the quality is going to suffer, and suffer is an understatement. It's gonna be ugly. You need to think about either a dual layer DVD or splitting your movie into two chunks.

Render Taking Forever

Hey Everyone,
I'm kind of new to this. I created a movie file that is about 500 mb. I'm trying to render it and it's saying it will take about 5 hours. What's going on with this? Is it supposed to take that long?

are you actually rendering or you are making a quicktime movie conversion. If you are making a quick time movie conversion your probably wanting to post it on Youtube or something like that right, because to make a dvd you just have to make a quicktime movie and use iDVD to import the movie to make a DVD

My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

ADODE MEDIA ENCODER CS5 TAKING FOREVER????

Hello
I have just noticed that AME is not encoding fast enough as it used to. I recently changed my set up to the following,
C : Seagate Momentus XT 500GB (2.5" 7200rpm)
D : Areca Raid Controller 1110 (3 x seagate momentus 7200rpm 2.5" Raid 0) Media Files
E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
I converted my two bay workstation to 4 2.5" HDDs
The sequence I am currently exporting is 23 minutes long and is Matrox HDV 50i, with Matrox colour correction, Magic Bullet Looks and Adobe Auto contrast. This export is taking forever and it has just rendered a sixth of the sequence for 2 hours 27 minutes and indicates that 11 hours 23 minutes remains to render. CPU is not maxed out never had such awful long renders before with my previous setting which had only two logic HDDs.
This was my previous HDD set up
C : Bios Raid 0 (Western Digital Caviar Green 3.5" 7200 x 2 partitioned into C & D)
E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
So currently I am not sure whether I have gone for the better or I have just worsened. I have just exported some clips with after effects and the CPU was maxed out without any sluggish perfomance.
SYSTEM
HP XW6600 Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Dual Xeon 5450 3ghz (8 virtual cores)
32 GB RAM
GTX 285 2GB GPU
Matrox RT X2
Areca 1110
I have got lots of jobs coming up and perfomance has become of paramount importance. I am considering RMA of the 2.5" HDDs here, don't know what to do really? Check out this picture which shows the perfomance I am suffering here.

You need to establish if this is AME or Matrox.
Place your project in a non Matrox project and render again.
Mind you Looks and auto contrast take a lot of rendering.
Best is to ditch the auto contrast and use the Brightness and Contrast.
Effects with auto tend to make a mess of you video.
What preset did you use i find your settings somewhat odd.
I copied all the footage in the matrox timeline and pasted it into HDV timeline. There was no change, the render speed is just the same. The first clip in this sequence is a quicktime mov file 1920 x 1080 (Opening sequence 30 sec long no effects), AME renders this one faster than real time and max out the CPU to over 95%, but when it hits the main content with the filters, the CPU usage drops tremendously. This happens on both matrox and HDV sequences, which leaves with no alternative but to think that the slowness render issue lies with the Red Giant plugins.

*** Rendering is taking forever

I am editing a 720x480 DV anamorphic project on a DP 2.7 and the render times are taking forever for a render to rather simple video (i.e. not many layers). I'm getting an orange bar whenever I need to render. In the past it was green and went much faster.
I must have changed the preferences. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the orange bar and have the green bar mode available to render?
Thanks in advance.

It wouldn't make any difference... if you set your playback to "safe" or Unlimted mode in the RT pop up menu in the Timeline window you can change the 'render status" colors, but the time it takes to actually render will be the same as long as the render quality settings are the same.
FWIW, some effects take longer to render than others for sure...

H.264 - Taking forever to encode? What's wrong?

I have captured some video of my desktop using iShowU, which basically makes a Quicktime of everything that happens on your desktop including a mic input. I used the Apple Intermediate Codec to capture the material. The size of the vid is 1900 x 1250 (75% of the full size 30" display desktop).
I imported this recording direct into FCP and did some quick edits, now I'm trying to export them using compressor as quicktime files that will be distributed on a CD.
The export happens and the final quality is fine, but the export is taking FOREVER. I've done video editing before and this seems way too long to export. Here are the specs...
- It is taking about 15 minutes to export 1 minute of video. This is way way way too long.
- I'm running a new Mac Pro, 2.66 Quad Core, 5GB of Ram with high speed drives - this machine should scream through this encode job. Activity monitor is showing about 130% processor activity from Compressor, and another 90% or so from Final Cut Pro. I think it should peg the processors a bit higher than that.
Here are the exact settings I'm using in Compressor:
Name: Test 1 QuickTime Movie
Description: No description
File Extension: mov
Audio Encoder
IMA 4:1, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
Video Encoder
Format: QT
Width: 1900
Height: 1250
Pixel aspect ratio: square
Crop: None
Frame rate: (100% of source)
Frame Controls:
Retiming: Nearest Frame
Resize Filter: Nearest Pixel
Deinterlace Filter: Line Averaging
Adaptive Details: Off
Antialias: 0
Detail Level: 0
Field Output: Progressive
Codec Type: H.264
Multi-pass: On, frame reorder: On
Pixel depth: 24
Spatial quality: 74
Min. Spatial quality: 25
Key frame interval: 24
Temporal quality: 50
Min. temporal quality: 25
Fast Start: on
Brightness And Contrast
Brightness: 6.600000
Contrast: 11.600000
I am running that one Bright/Contrast filter, but that shouldn't take up that much extra power should it? Surely I have something wrong here. The export frame rate, size (pixel demensions) and everything else are exactly the same as the source material from what I can tell.
I'm going to have about 15 total hours of footage to export and from what I can tell using these settings - that's nearly 10 straight days of encoding, and that ain't gonna' work.
Thanks!!!

H.264 is much slower codec than many other ones.
And, at those giant frame sizes, it wouldn't
surprise me to see such long encode times.
More than six hours ago, I took four short (six minutes or so each) Flash video files to Compressor 3 and sent this batch to transcode to H.264. The first clip went off merrily and the Activity Monitor showed 145% activity of the CPU. It was done in 13 minutes, the second ckip took 14 minutes and the remaining two clips are still there with very little progress in transcoding. The Activity Monitor shows from five to 10 per cent Compressor usage of the CPU.
This is definitely not due to "giant frame sizes". Somewhere along the way Compressor 3 slowed down dramatically.

After installing SP3 for BO XI R1 - Crystal Reports taking forever to run.

Hello,
We are running BO XI R1 SP3. Ever since installing SP3 a number of our scheduled Crystal Reports are taking forever to run. The Business Objects server resources are okay, CPU never really gets above 50% so I figure perhaps it's our SQL Server.
We run SQL 2005 and CPU on that hovers around 30%, we've got 4 2.6GHz CPUs with 16GB of RAM. Looking in SQL Server activity monitor the reason the reports are taking some time is that the wait types are generally CXPACKET.
For example a report used to process in a minute however after installing SP3 the report now takes several hours. Since we've 4 CPU's on our SQL Server activity monitor creates four sessions for the report to try and process it in parallel. However all of those four sessions have a wait type of CXPACKET. This I understand is related to parallelism and people have said to reduce that so nothing runs in parallel.
However I should not have to do that as things used to run just fine, there is no physical reason (i.e. RAM / CPU / HDD) that reports are locked waiting in SQL server. Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix please?
Kind regards,
Chris Rutherford

XIR2 has two different redistributable MSI packages. One is compatable with 1.1 framwork applications and the other is compatable with 2.0 framework applications.
try downloading the SP3 MSIs from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009656792008E/crxir2sp3_net_si.zip]
this will have both MSIs
- CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi (for 1.1fwk applications)
- CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi (for 2.0fwk applications)
rename the CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi to CrystalRedist115_x86.msi and replace the existing file in the Bootstrapper folder path
Uninstall the last install, rebuild and try your Click-Once install again. This time you should have the 11.5.3700.0 runtime.

Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

why is it taking forever to load!?

The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
What are these files? Where are they now?
Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
Good luck & happy computing!

Restarting taking forever after Security Update 2014-002

I just downloaded Security Update 2014-002 and my Mac Mini is taking forever to restart after the download and installation process finished. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and my Mac is stuck on restart! What should I do?
Need help! Thanks.

Tap the space bar on your keyboard once. The dispaly may be sleeping.
The first restart after the update here was longer than usual but I restarted one more time, it was back to normal boot time.
After the restart, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.
It should say: Verio 1.0 Installed Apr 22, 2014

My 2009 24" iMac, taking forever to boot...help!

I need help and some advice on my 24" (2009) iMac running OS 10.7, my computer is taking forever to boot up. I was downloading MS Word 2011 via wi fi and then it froze. I shut the computer down by pressing the power button and restarted the iMac up again, the chime came on and the Apple logo is up with the wheel turning, I thought it was booting up...Well an hour has passed and the the screen with the Apple logo and wheel is still turning! I shut down the computer again and power it up again while holding down the Option key. Two icons came up, one for he HD and the other Recovery HD...I click the Recovery and select Disk Utility. I then select the Mac HD and clicked Repair Disk. After it went through that process of repairing, I then selected Repair Disk Permission. After that was done, I selected Restart from the Apple icon on the upper left corner. Again the Apple chimed....the screen and Apple icon and wheel is still spinning...No good the same screen with Apple icon and wheel continued to spin and nothing else is happening. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

As a test you could try booting with the install disk that came with the iMac (disk in drive and startup holding down the 'C' key). If it boots it's likely a good sign that it's an OS rather than hardware problem and that Eric Ross's suggestion of re-installing the OS is the next step.
If you haven't got a back up (hope you have) you can re-install using the Recovery HD but it would mean re-downloading Lion (you don't have to pay again).

My iphone 4 is taking forever to sync...I let it sync all night and only completed about 1/4 of of the songs downloaded. Apps seem to be fine. I have tried restoring it and that didn't do anything. Can someone please help?

My e mail is taking forever to download.

My e mail is taking forever to download. It comes through fine on my i phone via the same wireless router. It is showing the amount of e mails being downloaded, I know there are no large files in there. Its as if something is blocking or slowing down the download. The rest of the computer works fine, as does outgoing mail. Any clues anyone?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
