Subtitles are too complex.

I' am making a DVD using all image files from CaptionMax. See post from yesterday:
stevenl, "Image Subtitles." #1, 10 Apr 2006 4:34 pm
Anyway in just a test of the whole subtitle thing I only imported 1 subtitle track and tried to burn a folder and/or image file and got a message telling me that my one track is too complex. I'm going to need seven more, so if you think it's complex now??? All I did is set my first play to Timeline 1 with the one track set to display. Now, I have another timeline in the project that I set as the end action of the first with its track set to display. Can there be an issue in that the two timelines are different aspects 1 is 16x9 and 2 is 4x3?
I don't think that my problem should be anything related to this thread:
ivansull, "EncoreDVD 2.0 Subtitles" #10, 21 Mar 2006 10:46 pm
since my subtitles are all index .tif files that are already as small as they're going to get. I've also used these type of files in our Sonic DVD Fusion system many times and never had this kind of issue.
I've read about other Encore issues with subtitles, but most of them seem related to text subtitles, what issues (if any) are there with image files?
Thanks,
Steven

Steven,
The "too complex" error is probably the one mentioned in post #5 of the "EncoreDVD 2.0 Subtitles" thread. This is not an Encore issue, but a limitation set by the DVD-Video specification. It doesn't matter whether the subtitles are imported via a text script or as bitmap images; if any (horizontal) line exceeds 1440 bits it exceeds the spec maximum.

The subtitles are too small on ATV2

the subtitles are too small on ATV2, at the movies I rent, it is not possible to enjoy the movie and read the text at the same time, what makes Apple here???

I have the same problem, changing it to large in the Accessibility menu makes them too large and annoying. I hope Apple fixes this soon!

The subtitles are too tall and skinny (4 lines) and separate words

Whenever I watch a show and I have the subtitles on they will be in the bottom centere and take up sometimes 4 lines up into my screen and seperate words
Example:

These documents are too complex for the selected mode. Please select scanned documents and try again

Getting this error message all of a sudden when i try to compare two documents in Acrobat 9 Pro. I work in Indesign with an annual report. Each time i make a new pdf i compare it with the previous version and it has been working fine until now. I have mounted high-res pictures into the Indesign document since it's getting close to print date. And it's after that it has stopped working. I don't know if it's because the file is so large (15mb).
It's really urgent, can someone please help?
Thanks

Subtitles too complex , copy subtitles?

I am putting 4 graduation ceremonies onto separate DVDs. I put the subtitles into one of the ceremonies using Encore,(time consuming I know but not in a serious time crunch yet).Outputted to DVD and everything is great. Seeing how the speeches are basically the same between ceremonies replaced 1st ceremony asset with 2nd ceremony asset, moved subtitles to
sync up and changed content on some (for adlibs and miss speaks,can't anyone stick to a damn script).Had to move large sections of subtitles due to change of order of speakers. Check project and is fine. Start burning DVD and after transcoding video get to subtitles section and it stops telling me the subtitles are too complex. Any suggestions? Will lassoing and copying subtitles and pasting into new project work?

"Subtitles or subpictures too complex to build." error message. Encore CS4, Win XP.
I wrestled with this, even attempting to delete cached files until my original project wouldn't load. I rebuilt the project and all the navigation in a new project, and reimported all the subtitles, blocking them as before. I got the same error message on build. After seeking advice online I tried narrowing my left and right text field margins in the subtitle import dialog to 100 and 620. Same error on build.
I built a new test project, importing one subtitle track at a time without modification onto a new timeline with my project's video. That was OK on build. I modified 2 of the subtitles in the same way as before, making the typeface smaller. That build was rejected with the original error message. I returned the typeface size of that page to the original size. That built ok. I tried squeezing the text aspect for the one page to get the blocking I wanted. That build was rejected. I returned the text aspect to normal but re-blocked the page to get the text to at least fit, even though it wasn't the layout I wanted. (I took some of line 1 in French and moved it to line 2.) That built. I am cutting my losses and letting the blocking go for that language, on that page.
Bottom line: it appears that you can't mix typeface sizes in subtitle tracks, at least in my single experience. I did find another post that claimed that making a larger outline on the text also can remove the error on build, but I found that out later, so didn't get to test it.

Subtitles too complex error - in PAL subtitles only

I have a project that is going to be authored in both PAL and NTSC. It has subtitles in six languages.
On the NTSC one, everything burns fine.
On the PAL one, I get an error when burning saying "subtitle or menu subpicture too complex."
We have the same subtitle scripts being used in both, and the menus are the same beside the difference in dimensions (I think there is probably some slight movement of button position). The dimensions for the subtitle cells entered in the PAL version are actually slightly smaller in height, but the same width as the NTSC.
NTSC, I have the dimensions of the subtitle boxes set to:
92 628
325 445
PAL:
112 608
450 525
I am in the process of narrowing down which subtitle tracks are causing the errors, but does anyone have any insight into why this would happen only in the PAL version when both are using the same subtitle scripts?

sorry - two things I forgot to mention: CS4 and Mac OS 10.5.8

Max number of caracters in subtitles in Encore? Trying to avoid "Subtitle too complex to render"

Does anyone know what the max number of caracters in a single Encore subtitle "string" is if you want to avoid the "Subtitle too complex to render" error message?
I have a project with one subtitle layer, concisting of 483 "subtitle strings" in it and i'm getting the "...too complex..." message when rendering.
But instead of spending endless hours of trying to guess which one(s) cause the problem, i'd love to have an answer like "Don't ever tap in more than XX caracters in a single subtitle"
And now we are at it:
I'm let to believe that the distance between the individual "subtitle strings" also can release the "...too complex..." message. Any clues as to what the minimum number of frames has to be between the individual "strings" in order to avoid the error message (the project in question is a "classic" DVD-project - not BluRay)?
Thanx in advance.

Well, just in case anyone else is stuck with the same problem and comes across this old string: After several tests I have come up with this solution that works for me - and perhaps for others too:
Notice that the subtitle borders are set differently than the default settings. The settings I use keeps the subtitle string just inside the outer safe area border where as the default settings are inside the inner safe area border and thus resulting in shorter subtitle lines.
You can choose a different typeface and size if you like. These matters doesn't seem to have much influence on the "_too complex_" issue.
With these settings I can write a maximum of 60 characters, including spaces, per line. Remember to make forced line breaks between the lines, if your subtitle string is longer than one line. Otherwise Encore will see what appears to be two lines as one long line exceeding the max number of characters and thus resulting in a "_too complex_" error.
And as for number of frames between subtitle strings: Minimum 5 frames - but Encore will automaticly warn you if you place text strings closer than that.

Subtitles too complex to render (CS6)

Hello
We have a problem that many other users seem to have too:
I'm building a DVD with two subtitle tracks (english and german). When I tried to build the .iso-file, I always got the error message "The subtitle or menu subpicture is too complex to be encoded". So I was reading about the problem on the web and tried some stuff, and somehow, Encore destroyed my file. Encore always crashed as soon as I edited something on the subtitle track.
So I decided to rebuild the whole menu (about 2 days of work). After I've rebuild the menu, I tried to build the .iso-File before I imported the subtitles. Then it worked. So it was clear that it was something with the subtitles.
So I re-imported only one of the subtitle tracks with the following settings:
I changed the values of the display area because some people wrote that It worked after they made the subtitle display area smaller. But when I then tried to build the .iso-file, I got the error message about too complex subtitles again.
I have some subtitles with two lines. So I deleted all the two-line-subtitles and tried to build the .iso-file again, but it still did not work. I then deleted all the subtitles that contain more than about eight words. I tried to build the iso-file again and IT WORKED!!!
But that can't be a solution! Or do I have to split a sentence like "You know exactly the cops are trying to set us up!" in two seperate subtitles? That would make it a pain in the *** to read the subtitles!
What does Adobe say about that? What can/should I do? I lost already several weeks of my life with this problem (and nobody will pay me for that time)!
By the way: Will Encore be discontinued or is there a CC version coming? I'm wondering why Encore's latest version is still CS6.
Thank you for your help!

Not all users seem to have this issue. So I keep thinking there must be a workaround. But there are users who never find one. I don't do enough subtyitles to have any good troubleshooting for a deadline like this. There is often a subtitle creation software involved in subtitle issues.

The Subtitle or menu subpicture is too complex !

I am running Encore version 2.0 and almost completed a project. The final stage is to add subtitles. When I try to create an iso file or burn to DVD, the encoding process goes OK until it comes to encoding subtitles. It then comes up with "The subtitles or menui sub-picture is too complex to be encoded" and gives up.
I have tried replacing the subtitle text for the clip that seems to have the problem. When the text is removed, all is OK. When I re-type the text for the clip, the problem returns.
Anyone any idea what the problem could be?
I am running Windows XP with a 3GHz processor and 2GB RAM
Thanks in advance
Chris Walsh

The quickest solution would be to split up the offending subtitle. E.g. if it was originally
i "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
for 10 seconds, change it to 5 seconds of
i "The quick brown fox jumped..."
followed by
i "...over the lazy dog"
for the remaining 5 seconds.

My subs look good in dvdsp but when I burn an example the subs are too high in the frame.All my offsets are 0 and the alignment button is bottom.

Any thoughts

Try creating a new project, and bring in a short clip and one or 2 subtitles and see if you see the same behavior. If you don't, something's probably wonky in the project. If the sample behavior has the same problem, if you want to send it to me with the associated media, I'll take a quick look.

"Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"

I'm trying to render 24 characters of text with line breaks in 3D, because, as we know, 3D can be very spiffy... but I get:
"Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"
Interesting, I'm on a rocketship workstation with a fairly stealthy config. All is updated to the latest ver., 13.1.2.. Not the greatest card in the world (Quadro 2000), but it seems more than ample for this task..
It works fine with 9 characters on one line... Ok, possibly (or rather likely) I have too much text (24 characters? Line breaks? Trebuchet?), but frankly, I'd be surpised... What are the limitations here? Tips?
Thank you!

In this case, I have photoshop doing all the number crunching through GPU:
Also, my performace settings (this is 32-bit PS, so it only sees 4GB):
We'll see what any Adobe folks say, thank you very much for your time and insights!

SSAS DRILLTHROUGH - Specified query is too complex error.

Hi Guys,
I'm working on an SSAS 2012 OLAP cube with around 100 dimensions and a single measures group. When I try to run a simple DRILLTHROUGH query such as:
DRILLTHROUGH
MAXROWS 1000 SELECT
FROM [Cube] WHERE ([Measures].[Fact_Count])
I get an error as below.
The specified query is too complex to be evaluated as a single statement.
Does anyone have any experience of this error and how to work around it? If I remove the majority of the dimensions from the cube I can run this query successfully. Looking at the limits set for analysis services I should be well within these.
Thanks in advance
Sean

Hi Scaneyw,
Based on my research, this is a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) design limitation. In SSAS, Drillthrough” generates internal CrossJoin query that contains all attribute hierarchies in measure group. So the error appear when MDX parser receives statement
with> 1000 nodes.
Here are some tips for you to avoid this error.
Reduce number of dimension attribute hierarchies in measure group below 1000.
Delete unneeded attributes and disable Hierarchy for attributes that are only used as properties.
Consider creating smaller Measures Groups with less dimensions + attribute hierarchies.
If you have any concerns about this feature, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope the complete “drillthrough” feature is will be improved in future SQL Server Versions.

Page too complex to print

Since updating Safari to version 5.1.3 and later (now 5.1.5) my HP 2605dn printer balks on printing some Web page with the error message, "Document too complex to print" and I have to recycle the power and empty the print queue. This wasn't a problem before as it printed any page Safari sent it. I'm wondering if others are having this same problem with Safari. There are some Web pages I have to print independent of others and some which just won't print anymore.

Hi...
Just a thought, but you mIght have better luck printing from another browser ...

Could not complete the new 3D extrusion because the path is too complex

I'm using Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7 64bit. I've seen other posts about a bug if you are trying to complete a 3D extrusion when a triangle is present, but my issue seems even more basic.
I'm drawing a simple wave shape with the pen tool set to shape, no fill, 1px stroke. I'm simply drawing three points to create a simple sine wave - the idea being to create a wavy piece of 35mm film. The image size is quite big - 6000 x 4000 px. The first time I did it, the rendering worked fine but I didn't like the curve I had drawn, so I stepped back and tried again. Now, whatever I do, I get the "Could not complete because the path is too complex" message.
Is this a known bug and are there any workarounds to create a single pixel wide wavy shape in 3D that looks like a piece of film.
Steve

I have run across this also, but my path was more complex. As far as creating a single pixel wavy shap, I would use the depth map 3D feature of converting a depth map to a plane. Create a gradient in 32bit mode, so the transistion are smooth, and then go to the 3D menu and select new mesh from depth map>plane. You can later go in and edit the depth map to tweak it.

? Mail [12721] Error 1 performing query: WHERE clause too complex...

Console keeps showing this about a zillion times in a row, a zillion times a day: "Mail [12721] Error 1 performing query: WHERE clause too complex no more than 100 terms allowed"
I can't find any search results anywhere online about this.
Lots of stalls and freezes in mail, finder/os x, and safari -- freqent failures to maintain a broadband connection (multiple times every day).
All apps are slow, cranky with interminable beach balls getting worse all the time.
anyone know what the heck is going on?

Try rebuilding the mailbox to see if that helps.
Also, how much disk space is available on your boot drive?
