Speed increase during rendering

Hi all.
I made a strange observation that needs verification or trashing.
While working in a project I selected render (as allways) but after this I
clicked out in the Finder = deselected FinalCut. Then to my surprice
the rendering process appeared to speed up.
Is this a reality or just a subjective feeling ?
Yours Bengt W

No that's the problem. I only got the feeling while doing several adjustments
with need for rendering. I let it be every second time (say odd) and selected finder the even time and got this impression/feeling.
That's why I addressed this "observation" to find out if othere run into a similar
experience.
(will keep on doing it the "Finder way" as long as I get the feeling of an increased
speed in rendering)
If this is a real/measurable phenomen then Apple programmer ought to sit
down and take a look on the rendering process and optimice it's coding.
Else: it's just in my mind and of no interest.
Yours Bengt W

Clips look like speed increased after rendering?

Weird! I have a few different 30 minute training videos, and after applying the 3-way color corrector I rendered. But, now when I watch they look like the speed of the footage has been increased somehow??
The footage I have was shot in 1080p 30fps. I dumbly began editing in h.264 so that's what it is, and there are some alpha channel simple animations done in Motion as overlays to the footage. I believe the Motion settings are Broadcast HD 1080i60.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

editing in h264 in fcp is problematic at best. Although it may work, eventually you'll regret it. I'd seriously advise converting all your footage to prores using compressor. You can reconnect to all your existing work by doing a MM to the correct format with media offline. If you make sure that your converted files have the same file names, reconnecting should be as simple as pointing to the correct folder. I'd do a test on one file to make sure the workflow is correct.

I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message. This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac. I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message. I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old. Obviously I'm using iDVD. I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem. A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above. I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD. Still the same message came up. I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened. This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened. They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had. The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's. The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message. The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page.
I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work! It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion. I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy. It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems. Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.

Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter. So much appreciated. And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this). Although, you may regret asking for more information. I've added everything I can below.
The process I used is as follows:
Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
Add title to front of clips
‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
Select submenu - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
Change title colours on clips
Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
Try new DVD discs
Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
Change images in drop zones
Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
Try with one clip and no menu pages added
Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
Turn computer off and restart
New hard drive
New optical lense (thing)
New DVD burner
Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
Other points:
I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across. I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went. It burned to disc image successfully.
The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this. That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
Other technical stuff that I don't understand but you may:

Error message during burning: Error during rendering/encoding

Hello,
I am using iDVD 6.0.2 to create a DVD. I have pictures and videos. The videos are in .ASF format and they are played on Quicktime on my computer.
Anyway, when I go to burn the DVD, it goes through the slideshow fine. But then, once it starts videos, it stops and the following error message shows up:
Encoding Video
Error during rendering/encoding
I am using a Memorex DVD-R (8x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video) dvd. Is there any way possible I can fix this problem? I really need this DVD soon. Thank you so much.

Best Buy and Office Depot carry Verbatim by me. Use only DVD-R, not DVD+R.
My guess is that .ASF file...........
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Before posting about the speed Increases for Infin...

Hi All
We started taking orders 12-04-2012 for Infinity 2 on bt.com and since then many of you have raised questions on the forum. Here's a heads-up on what to expect when ordering and what happens next.
I've placed my order but no speed increase
1. Check the order tracker to see when your order is due to complete - it won't complete before this date and please note that orders are completed between midnight and 6am on the day. (link)
2. Check your own equipment - this covers your own setup up to the Openreach socket. Remember to test with a wired (Ethernet) connection if having problems on a wireless setup (more on this below)
3. In a small number of cases you may need to switch the Hub off, and on again, before experiencing any speed increase.
Remember that whilst the service is 'up to 76Mb', the speed you receive depends on your line - If the line can support 60Mb then that is what you will receive - you can check the estimate for your line here: (link)
My order shows as completed, what speed should I expect?
We would have given you an estimate of your maximum broadband speed when you placed your BT Infinity order. You can check your actual speed at any time at speedtester.bt.com.
Your speed test results will show you your current speed, which will vary at different times of day depending on:
1. The way you connect – a wired connection is significantly faster than a wireless one
2. Your computer’s speed – older computers are usually slower
3. How busy the Internet is – the busiest times are evenings and weekends
4. The speed of websites you visit – e.g. some sites cap speeds in busy periods
Please note that it can take up to 10 days for your BT Infinity speed to stabilise so bear this in mind when doing speed tests during this initial period.
How to get the most out of your new speed
Are you using a wired connection? Your connection will be faster and more stable if you use an Ethernet cable(s) to connect your computer(s) to your Hub. At these faster speeds, we recommend a wired connection. Wireless is best reserved for connecting only your mobile devices and laptops.
Are you using the latest wireless kit? The Home Hub uses ‘n’ standard technology, which gives the fastest wireless connection. You may need to buy an ‘n’ wireless adaptor(s) for your computer(s) to take advantage. If you are unsure about wireless adapters you can ask questions in our community or find out more at bt.com/nwireless
Are you using our broadband software? Our Desktop Help software will optimise your computer settings for your new faster speeds. Download it from bt.com/desktophelp. Within this, using the PC Healthcheck feature regularly is particularly important to get the best speeds.

I am so sick of ringing the support now. I have spoke to them so many times its beyond belief. They told me Friday that my internet should be fine by Sunday.
I have done a quiet line test and I dont know what to make of it. I dont have a corded phone, my hands free phone I can hear a faint fuzz. Dont know if thats normal?

Error during rendering/encoding -- PLEASE HELP!!

Hey everybody!! After trying twice to burn this project to DVD, I'm about ready to rip my hair out!! First of all, here's the specifics about my computer:
Mac OS 10.3.7 / 800 MHZ Power PC G4 / 256 MB SDRam / My programs are iMovie 4 and I have iDVD5
OK, I'm trying to burn a movie that is about 1 hour, 23 minutes long. Even though my movie is not 90 minutes long, iDVD does tell me that it is too long and that I need to click on "Best Performance" in my iDVD Preferences. No problem, I did that. (By the way, at the time of the burning, I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive.)
Before burning I do repair permissions and delete my "com.apple.idvd.plist".
So, it burns and burns for roughly 6 hours. Right at the very end, the disk spits out and an error message comes up saying:
Encoding Video
Error during rendering/encoding:
This is very frustrating because I need to get this video done by tonight and turn it in by Monday morning!!
Any suggestions?? Please help!!! Thanxx!!

I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive
I don't think that's enough. Remember a DVD is 4.7GB (which iDVD first stores on your hard drive) plus temporary files that iDVD needs.

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting on the computer, and how?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
We are on a very long ADSLMax line, however we get very good speeds because I removed the bellwire.
My question is I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me what speed I would expect if the exchange was upgraded to 21CN/ADSL2+ etc.
My exchange is this one: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/EAELV
Here is a speedtest I have done:
1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed
2.24 Mbps
0 Mbps 7.15 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
Download speed achieved during the test was - 2.24 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :6.18 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 5 Mbps
And here are my stats from my NETGEAR router:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6176 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 38.0 db 22.0 db
Noise Margin 6.1 db 24.0 db
Also wondering if I am getting the fastest speed possible on the line according to these stats.
Hope someone can help,
Many Thanks,
Dominic.

as I said if you check the link I posted and enter your 38 attenuation then you will see it gives an average of about 7mb - but that is an average as some might be higher and some lower depending on line quality and connection

Scroll speed increases in InDesign CS4

I just installed InDesign CS4 on my Toshiba NB505 netbook running Windows 7 Starter. The scroll is driving me nuts. When I use my touchpad scroll, the first few lines scroll smoothly, but then the speed increases to jump several lines with every touch. The document I'm looking at is only one page, but I can't get to even the halfway point before it starts jumping. This appears to be the only program this happens in. Acrobat scrolls fine; my system mouse settings are fine. I'm hoping there's an option in InDesign I'm just missing.
Please help!

You'll do yourself a favor if you convert those TIFFs from 16-bit to 8-bit before opening them in InDesign. InDesign can only handle 8-bits of those file. I'm not sure how it handles 16-bit TIFFs but for 16-bit PSD files it reads the 8-bit composite saved with the file.
Your files will be considerably smaller, and will preview better.
The value of 16-bit is in making image adjustments BEFORE saving the file for other applications.

Portege M400 freezes, screen goes black and fan speed increase when moved

Can someone please help me?
I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted to Windows XP Tablet edition.
All was going well until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically!,
So far I have had no success in fixing this problem and I much appreciated is some one could help me!

Hi there,
I have the same laptop. Bought it from a friend also! That was a year ago. It was working perfectly till 6 months ago when I had it going 100% like yours. Screen freezes, fan speeds up and hangs up once it is moved. Recently, even if it doesnt move it hangs up also. I have tried many things like reinstalling drivers and Windows.....etc.
I dont think it is Windows problem or drivers problem, because if you run BIOS and try to move the laptop, it also hangs up!!
Tried updating the BIOS, also no benefit. I ended up opening the laptop and having a look to the motherboard (thinking that I could see something that I could fix!! But again, did not get any results.
I tried also disconnecting peripherals one by one to see whether I could spot the problem, I disconnected the battery, the hard disk, the optical drive, the wirelss modem (from inside), memory, and even the bluetooth, but could not spot the culprit.
I believe now that the problem is basically the motherboard (sort of wear and tear insulation problem) and it is beyond my humble expertise.
I am sure if I would contact TOSHIBA, they would not be of much benefit as I am a second hand user. And if I try to buy from them a main board, they will charge me hell of money.
I hope that this is helpful for you to avoid you wasting your time like me.
Please if you would come into any progress, let me know. Likewise, I would be happy to update you.

How much of a speed increase does a ssd give to a 2011 15 inch macbook pro

I am in the market for the new top end 15 inch macbook pro, I was wondering how much of a speed increase would I see overall. I would like to play world of warcraft, will I see a performance boost from a ssd? Thanks.

JoeyR is correct, the performance of a SSD drive is only on reads and writes
If you constantly exceed your RAM allocation, the pagination of excess memory needs to storage will be faster as well.
However a 7,200 RPM boot drive is pretty fast as well, at a lot lower $$ per GB than SSD and in a lot larger storage options.
7,200 RPM drives tend to use a bit more battery life than 5,400 RPM or SSD drives, if your on power most of the time then it's really not a issue.
Due to their limited writes, SSD drives are NOT being throughly erased using software designed for such purposes like on hard drives (Disk Utility), so any confidential information, sites visited, images and so forth can be recovered off of SSD drives.

Airport Extreme Upgrade Speed Increase???

1) We currently have an Airport Extreme version 7.6.4 in our home. What version of wireless is this running? How do we determine this?
2) How much speed will we gain if we upgrade to the newest version of the Airport Extreme which offers next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology (assuming that all of the portable devices in the house are upgraded as well to the newest technology)?
3) As part of this query, we have a Comcast modem that feeds straight into our current old Airport Extreme. To get any of the hoped for speed increases, would we have to do anything with this Comcast/Xfinity cable modem?
Sorry these are such basic questions that likely reflect my poor understanding of this technology. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Last question first.
3) As part of this query, we have a Comcast modem that feeds straight into our current old Airport Extreme. To get any of the hoped for speed increases, would we have to do anything with this Comcast/Xfinity cable modem?
The Internet connection speed on your network will not improve. That speed is limited by your modem and the plan that you have with your provider.
Right now, the current AirPort Extreme that you have is capable of far greater speeds than your service provider can ever hope to deliver, so a new AirPort Extreme will not provide any improvement in terms of Internet performance.
) How much speed will we gain if we upgrade to the newest version of the Airport Extreme which offers next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology (assuming that all of the portable devices in the house are upgraded as well to the newest technology)?
The wireless speed capability will double to triple over what you have now, but these higher speeds will only be realized when you have both an 802.11ac router and 802.11ac capable devices.
There are no 802.11ac capable iPhones or iPads, so you will pick up faster speeds on a new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac, etc.
The faster speeds will only help you if you are copying data from one computer to another or making backups of one device to another.
As mentioned previously, your Internet connection speeds will remain the same that they are now.
We currently have an Airport Extreme version 7.6.4 in our home. What version of wireless is this running? How do we determine this?
Please look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme to locate the model number. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143......A1301.....A1354.....A1408.
Post back with the model number, and we will tell you a bit more about the product.

Idvd burning problems during rendering/encoding

I have made several attempts to burn a dvd and when it gets to "step2: Menu and slideshow redering and encoding..." it never goes anywhere. If I cancel the process I get and error "error during rendering/encoding. there was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. Burning process aborted." The project is a 4 minute slideshow of pictures (jpegs) with one itunes imported song. The entire project was created in idvd and is no larger than 200megs. I have tried to burn this project on 3 different macs (2 G5s and a G4 powerbook) and they all have the same error so it must mean that I am doing something wrong. I have previewed the slideshow and it has no problems and am burning DVD-R's (tried a few different ones).

with one itunes imported song
Was this a iTunes Store purchased song?
