Untranscoded and Don't Transcode at random

We've got a system that makes m2v files.
Shorter movies (30 seconds) come out as "Don't Transcode" just like we want them to.
Longer movies (25 minutes) come out as "Untranscoded" which is not acceptable.
How can there be a difference?
Where does this proces go wrong?
What can we do to correct this evil?
(Don't tell me to let Encore do the transcoding, that is no solution in this case)

Do you use the same settings for both lengths?
What are your settings?

How do you tell assets "Don't Transcode" in Encore CS5?

Here's the workflow: Create a project in Premiere CS5 (original source AVCHD 1hour 15min clip with titles at the beginning). Create DVD image, discover error in the title, about 1 minute into clip. OOPS! Trying to save TIME, in Premiere, cut, create new sequence with ONLY the bad 1 minute. Dynamic-link into Encore and create M2V transcode of the one minute.
Back to Premiere...import the transcode (M2V/AC3) of the original sequence. Leave AC3 alone, chop the video at 1M0Sec1Frame and drop in the transcode (M2V) of the corrected title sequence.
I now have "DVD legal" footage of the entire sequence and a perfect virtual butt-splice of the video. When I go back to Encore it should NOT have to re-transcode this footage, and the MANUAL (p. 46) indicates that the "untranscoded" setting can be set to "don't transcode" BUT THERE'S NO MECHANISM FOR DOING THIS! Now...truth be told, the transcode is relatively quick since it's basically just copying the frames from one M2V file into another one...BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TRANSCODE THIS! Problem is, I don't see where the setting is anywhere in Encore to say "Hey, idiot program...leave this footage alone! It's already transcoded!" Help...?

HI,
usually program aren't idiot.
Techs spend much time and strenghts in creating them and titling them idiot is not pretty.
Also if we pay tons of money to buy them.
But, yes, programs can do quirks.
So, anyway:
Project window/ left click over the file you do not want to be transcoded, a window appear and you can choose every setting you want.
Just pay a bit attention: there are two "transcode window".
One is relative to DVD and the other one with Blue Ray.
Just a look at the top of them.
If you do not see "do not trancode" in the options, then, Encore had to do it. (quirks?)
Hope this helps

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC 2014

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC. When trying to click on a specific line of code in a js file the cursor ends up in a different place in the script and several lines of code highlighted. Clicking again jumps the mouse to a different position and even more lines of code highlighted and some characters rearranged, breaking the lines of code. Very frustrating.

Preran,
I am having the same issue. I have a MBP connected to 2 x Dell 27" monitors over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. Once I updated to OS X 10.10.2 this cursor highlight/jumping around issue only occurs on the connected monitors. If I move the program to the main laptop display the issue goes away. It does not require me to restart the program or the machine to make it work correctly. One way I am able to identify the issue is if I go to the line numbers in code like I wanted to select multiple lines - in the one that works correctly, the cursor turns into a white version where the tip of the cursor points to the right. When it is wrong, the cursor stays black and will only have the tip point to the left. Its just another way I identified if it was working cause I tried uninstalling DW and reinstalling - didn't work. Reset preferences as you discussed - no go. And I used other editors like IntelliJ and Adobe Edge Code - all of which work fine and don't display this issue.
I tried the preferences reset you suggest and it doesn't work. I have another machine with OS X 10.10.1 on it and this issue is not there on any monitor. Any help with this ASAP as it pretty much stops you from being able to do any editing especially with longer pages as it consistently wants to page up when you select anything and if you then click again in another area it tries to move the highlighted code to that new spot.
Update: I have a USB Microsoft Arch touch mouse connected (always worked just fine). When I go to place my cursor at some point in the code it causes the highlight flicker. If I switch over and use the built in trackpad, then I can place the cursor without the highlight issue. When trying to select multiple lines or sections of code, that still see's the highlight, page up and move of code issues regardless of input type.

My Encore is transcoding "don't transcode" MPEGs

Hi everyone,
I always bring only MPEG-2 compliant video files into Encore. They always show up as "don't transcode" and when I build the DVD it goes really fast.
Today I ran into a problem. I bring in a MPEG-2, which Encore lists as "don't transcode" and all seems fine. But when I go to build the DVD, instead of quickly writing the files to disc or a folder, it says "transcoding video." Why would Encore tell me the file is "don't transcode" on import, and then begin to transcode the video when the actual DVD is built?
The MPEG-2 is a high-bitrate file (around 9.0) and there aren't any other MPEGs in the project. There is just a standard still Encore library menu with one button linking to this MPEG. Very basic project. Other MPEGs, when brought into the project, work fine and the DVD builds correctly--even high bitrate ones.
Obviously Encore doesn't like something in this MPEG's file, but why would it bring it in as "don't transcode" if that were the case? I am stymied on how to fix this, or how to figure out what exactly is buried the MPEG that is causing the problem. (And why Encore tells me two different things about the same file--either it's compliant or it's not, right?)
Any ideas or advice much appreciated. Thanks!

Just a quick followup from me. Iin case someone else in the future has trouble with XP/high bitrate MPEGs from DVD recorders that are used in Encore:
I ended up having to track down the original tape and re-doing it. However, on my JVC DVD recorder, instead of using the 1-hour/XP/9.2 bitrate setting as before, I chose the 1:15/FreeRate/7.5 bitrate setting. The big difference in the two MPEGs, per the various MPEG computer utilities, is that the 9.2 setting is CBR, while the 7.5 setting is VBR. The result is that the VBR/7.5 MPEG imports fine into Encore and does not want to transcode upon disc build!
When I tested this out, it also holds true with MPEGs from my Toshiba and Pioneer DVD recorders. MPEGs that are recorded VBR are fine in Encore. CBR ones can have trouble at high bitrates (but only upon disc build).
Obviously, Encore has a problem with some very high bitrate, CBR MPEGs. But the workaround, at least for me, seems to be to lower the recording bitrate slightly and ensure that they are recorded with VBR.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this, I really appreciate it.

Encore says "Don't Transcode" but it does

I'm creating a DVD in Encore. I've compressed my video using Compressor.
When I import m2v and ac3 assets to my project, under the DVD transcode settings column it says "Don't Transcode". I've got my transcode settings set to "Don't Transcode", yet Encore transcodes.
So, how do I prevent Encore from transcoding something that's already compressed for DVD? I really don't want to switch back to DVD Studio Pro, but I don't want Encore to recompress my already-compressed files.

Is this CS5?
CS4
Please clarify: is it set as "Don't Transcode" upon import, or after you set it in transcode settings?
I don't see settings for don't transcode upon import. I set it in transcode settings and that's all I've done.
Does it show "Don't transcode" for both the m2v and the ac3? And all the assets?
Just M2V.
Is it transcoding all your assets, or only one?
In another project, it tried to transcode an M2V. The project setting was NTSC. The M2V was NTSC. Just like this one.

Hi there. Was thinking of selling my MacBook pro and I ended up deleting random things. Help

Hi there. Was thinking of selling my MacBook pro and I ended up deleting random things. I accidentally changed the admin username to a few spaces using the spacebar button, but it seems to not be working. I still know the password. I also accidentally deleted the home folder location, so when I try to use Internet or open finder or anything it says "the home folder isn't located in the usual place. I also am unable to restart from the reboot using any of the cmd s or cmd c. I also don't have any of the disks. Please help. I don't care about files or info, the computer is essentially blank, I just can't access anything anymore

Sorry to say, No there isn't. Even IF you hadn't deleted, or still had, the Recovery HD partition from one of the Download only version of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks, you can't sell or give your Mac to anyone with one of those version installed. Those versions are tied to the Apple ID of the person that downloaded and installed them.
You could sell it like that but the new owner would never be able to update or upgrade it without the original Apple ID that downloaded and installed any of those versions. Putting the newer owner between a Rock and a hard place.
You must restore it to the original version of OS X that came on it when it was new and the only way to do that is with the original system discs it came with or a replacement set of them. These discs are Machine, Model, Specific and when and if you do sell it they should be given to the new owner along with the system.

My Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons disappear at random, have to restart firefox to get them back. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Don't really think I can clarify any better, my Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons disappear at random leaving a little blank spot. Can't figure out why.

Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??
Thanks in advance

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
hope others find this useful.

I would try another restore of the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. Maybe something went wrong in the process. Make sure everything works before applying any updates and adding any hardware or software.
Then add things carefully, rebooting Windows and testing the USB and audio at each step.
Please note this.
The only info windows gives me for the sound card is that it from Microsoft... with a driver version of 6.1.7601.17514....which naturally doesn't really help me since I have no idea what card or mobo I have . Is there any way for me to find out what I need other than opening up my laptop?
Every one of them lists my mobo simply as a Toshiba motherboard, with no audio card information. Which I'm assuming that is because it has an internal sound processor. My problem is that none of the properties, or ANYTHING I try, will give me information on what I need to fix this...
All of the latest drivers for your model are easily found here. This one is for the sound.

5-10 minutes is normal for me when opening iTunes. But then my library is stored on network drive which slows everything down.
There has been many posts about problems with RAID and iTunes. Don't know if any of those relate.

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

I received an email this am telling me I was charged for a purchase I made of .99 this am. I did not purchase anything. I contacted PayPay and was informed it was for a recurring monthly .99 fee..I don't know what that is and don't want it. What is it? PayPal cancelled any further payments for this. I was informed I needed to request refund from ITunes. I did that. Why was I charged a .99 recurring fee? I purchased, or thought I did, an app called "Appzilla2" on Jan 10 for .99 cents. Does this mean I must pay .99/monthly to use it? If so, please cancel the appzilla.

We are itunes users just like you. We cannot cancel anything.
Look at your purchase history and see what the charge is for. Contact itunes support if need be.

Upgrading my parent's Mac....?? I have a PC and don't know what to :(

I am trying to get a newer version of iTunes on my parent's computer (currently Mac OS X 10.2.8) and apparently need to upgrade to 10.3.9 or 10.4.7 to get iTunes 7.6 (we have iTunes v3.0.1 which came with the computer). I know little about computers in general but what I do know is that I would usually call for help if I need it and with their Mac I'd have to pay money which I can't afford to do right now. I know enough to download the updates but I have a few questions.
1. The reason my parents haven't updated the computer is that they are afraid all of their files will disappear with the upgrade so I don't want to do this and have their fears come true. I'm assuming that unless i do an erase that everything should be fine?
1b. With Macs can't you upgrade but still have your previous system still intact and pick which system you turn on? I think they have Mac OS X 9 as their other system but we never use it. My dad thinks that he lost files but maybe they are just on that system?
2. Do these internet downloads cost money? I did have to give a billing address to log on to this forum so they have my info....not that I gave a credit card #.
3. I can't go from 10.2.8 to the newest 10.5.1 right? I need to make gradual upgrades. So if I have 10.2.8 what are the upgrade downloads I'd have to take to get to 10.5.1? (or for now at least 10.3.9)
Finally I have an ipod question. I have an old school mini and used my work computer's iTunes to do everything. I have since left that job and can't add or change my playlist because my PC wasn't updated enough to download itunes (I have windows xp). So I guess my question is shouldn't I be able to plug my iPod into the mac that has the iTunes 3.0 and have my playlist go on the computer as a temporary playlist of sorts? Or is this version of itunes too old for that becasue it isn't working for me (I'm just copying the file which is taking 1 hour so far).
I know what you are thinking...I'm outdated and don't upgrade...But I want to fix that. Hope you can help me Thanks

Welcome to  Discussions call18222!
I'm guessing that the Mac is a Power Mac G4, is that correct?
If so, a Power Mac G4/1.25 GHz can support Panther 10.3.x, Tiger 10.4.x, or Leopard 10.5.x.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), 10.4.x to 10.4.11 (Pending), and 10.5.x to 10.5.1 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If your Mac meets the Leopard System Requirements, the Full Retail Version, of the Leopard Install DVD, can also be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
This is the correct one Mac OS X 10.4.6 Tiger, (DVD) Retail at FastMac.
And at HardCore Mac.
Notice that both are more expensive, than The Apple Store (U.S.).
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Tiger and Leopard are on DVD.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Caveat Emptor!
If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!

Tiger On eBay
Leopard On eBay
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
If Leopard 10.5.x is installed, use the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
Review these KB Articles, for the Panther System Requirements, and the Additional Panther System Requirements.
All listed System Requirements, are the bare minimum.
For optimum performance, additional Memory/RAM is recommended.
The 768 MB in your parent's Mac, should be sufficient.
