Upside down images when creating a DVD

Hello,
During the course of making a DVD which is a mixture of stills & video clips I found that some of the images, in the timeline, in the available media and finally in the "Create DVD menu" screen were upside down.
This usually preceeded a "serious" error which involved the program shutting down!. Although I was able to recover the file and eventually carry on to a successful project, I have no idea what I have done to cause this annoying problem.
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks
Jim

Hi Paul,
Yes, they are all very high resolution. I wondered if this was the problem. Oddly, it doesen't occur all the time though and sometimes changing an associated transition in Premiere has turned the image the right way up. Still, sorted now. Thanks a lot.

When creating a DVD face in Photoshop 13 my save options are limited to .PSE and .PDF. Why can I not save as a jpeg or other file format? This was never an issues in Elements 10 (my previous version).

I just recently purchased Elements 13. I am in the process of creating a DVD face for a video. The design is complete and I would like to be able to save it as a JPEG so I can use it in another program that prints my DVD's. The problem is that it only allows me to save the file as at PSE or a PDF. No other options are available. Why is this? I upgraded from Elements 10. In Elements 10 I have never had a problem saving this type of project as a JPEG. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ANSWER FOUND!
Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works! I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

Photoshop CS4 shuts down only when creating new project.

I've had CS4 web premium since nov. 08 and everything worked fine until the most recent update from adobe.
I ONLY have this problem with Photoshop cs4: when creating a new project after selecting the aspects (name, width, hight, etc.) when you press ok it shuts down and no error is given as to why it shut down, it just does.
opening documents that had been created prior to the last update isn't a problem, I'm able to do everything Photoshop cs4 has to offer.
I can also open a file started in another program and edit them in PS CS4 (ie: fireworks , or AI).
but for some reason if I want to start a project in photoshop it just shuts down, never used to happen. any clues? any one else have a similar problem and know how to fix this?
running on windows XP

I think you mean a new docuement - Photoshop doesn't have "projects".
Photoshop shouldn't "shut down" - there should be some message about a crash.
And the most likely causes at that point are OpenGL (try turning it off in prefs) and your default printer driver (try changing default printers).

[nForce] no audio on disk or image when burning a dvd movie

i've recently bought a K7N2 Delta I lsr and since i've had this i have never been able to burn a dvd movie no matter what i try. I've started from scratch trying with just the AC-97 audio drivers installed and downloaded the latest nforce audio drivers from nvida website, nomatter what i do i cant get a movie on disk correctly. When i build an image on my harddrive, i play it and theres no audio and when i build a dvd disk either the audio wont play or the entire disk wont play. my dvd player either says disk cannot be played or the disk is dirty. But when i import the image or disk into dvd shrink the film plays fine with audio. I'm at a total loss. i dont think that my processor has anything to do with it but i have an AMD Athlon 3200+ and 512meg 3200 Geil ram. If anybody has any ideas or better still a solution i would greatly appreciate a reply.. Thankx for your reply in advance...

Hello SON!
Recently bought, you say. Does that mean you have installed all mobo drivers, repair installed Windows, etc?
Have you tried the disks in another system?
Do you use the same software for playing and recording?
I don't think this is it, I think it is a software/driver problem, but two quick ones:
Untic in Device Manager for the optical device "Recognise insertion", as that can ruin a burn.
Remove the audio cable if you got one between the optical device and the sound card.

IDVD just disappears (in the encoding phase) when creating a DVD

I have this problem on different themes and can occur when creating single as well as dual layer disks.
iDVD suddenly disappears and disk utility pops up (presumably because the blank DVD is now available to the OS).
I checked the console - though it's fairly meaningless to me - and found the following:
errors over and over

Please, what is going on and can I fix it somehow? It's no joke when this happens especially when you are on a deadline to produce the DVD.

Greetings,
Did you try my suggestions including the caches and plists?
When burning from iDVD, make sure Disk Utility is not open. Having two program running that access the DVD burner at the same time might add complexity to the issue.
Can ANYONE at APPLE confirm that this will NOT happen if I upgrade to iLIFE 09?????
As stated in the Terms of Use we all agreed to when signing up for the Discussions, this is a user forum for users to talk to users. To contact Apple: www.apple.com/contact
As the issue you described is not a known issue in any version of iDVD ever, it is not something that was "fixed" in any new release. However, reinstalling all the core components (like installing a new version or just reinstalling period) can resolve issues with the Application itself. If the issue is with the OS then reinstalling the iDVD Application (which didn't change much from '08 to '09) will not make much of a difference.
Try reinstalling iDVD: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3249
I would also suggest reseting the hardware of the computer itself:

IDVD 7.1.1(1150) Error when create a DVD

Hi @ all,
I hope you can help me with this stupid problem.
A friend of mine created two videos for me in AfterEffects CS4. The first video is a youtube clip with pictures fading in and out.
The second one is a video only with pictures and sound. (Each is about 10 minutes long)
The videos where renderd in QuickTime format with AIC compression and in QuickTime Format with standard settings.
Both videos can be played in QuickTime Player without errors.
Now the Problem:
I wanted to create a DVD with both videos for playing them on TV. I created an iDVD Project without Submenus.
The videos should be able to be selected in the mainmenu. I changed the heading of the menu and the titles of the films (without signs like dot oder sth. only spaces between the words). The apple Logo is also hidden. The DropBox is filled automatically.
When I am trying to save the DVD as Video_TS folder, iDVD renders the menu and then crashes when it starts to render the movies.
Until now I got two different errors when I was trying to get the DVD saved. Either iDVD crahes completely or it gets me a Multiplexing Error (Error while muxing...)
We tried all combinations of rendering modes in After Effects, but every time the same.
I also deleted com.apple.iDVD.plist and com.apple.iDVD.LSSharedFileList.plist and restarted iDVD but there was no effect.
What's wrong with the program or what did we wrong ;-)?!?
I'm at the end of my knowledge to handle this.....
Does anyone know what to do, or knows a tip how to get iDVD working?
PS: There is a strange thing that I noticed this evening. Every time when I am trying to create the DVD, the estimated time for finishing the project gets a little longer. At the moment iDVD estimates one hour and about 8 to 15 minutes. (I dont know if this has anything to do with the problem).
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards
Numelle from Germany

Hello Numelle,
I don't have any experience with AfterEffects, but problems like this can be related to export formats, to hardware, or to iDVD. Here's a start at working through your situation:
Export formats - iDVD can handle a variety, but DV Stream (.dv) is one of the Quicktime options which is most compatible with iMovie and iDVD.
Hardware - if the problem is happening during rendering, this is when the greatest demand is being placed on your processor. Quit from other applications and make sure you have enough free space on your boot drive (your main hard drive) for "scratch space." You'll want to have a minimum of 10 gigs of free space for iDVD to work.
iDVD - looks like you're running an older version of iDVD with a new operating system. Check around the forum to see if others are having any compatibility problems, especially with Quicktime (since the operating system and iDVD are both using Quicktime elements).

How do you change the max data when creating a DVD?

I recently filmed a show and am making DVD copies. The show runs 1hour 45mins and is about 79gb in HD. I'm using compressor 4.1 to create the DVDs so it fits on one disc. I've made a few test copies but so far every DVD freezes at around 43 mins when I play it in another computer or dvd player. I heard in a blog that reducing the max data should solve the problem. This is my first time using compressor and I wanted to know where do you go to change the max data and how will that affect the video quality? Also, what is the suggested range of data limits for a project of this size?
Thanks

Duplicate the Create DVD preset from the Settings pane and name it.
Select the MPEG setting in the batch window.
Open the Inspector and click the Video tab.
Choose your "Encoding Mode" (CBR, etc.).
Uncheck Automatically Select Bit Rate.
You can then move the slider: somewhere around 4 Mb per second should be about right.
Just to add that you might also have a problem with the physical media. Try another brand to see whether that makes a difference.

Pixelation and flickering upside-down image

This is really weird. I like iMovie '08, because the design is really intuitive. Yes, I have HD, but I'm not very proficient with it. I'm working on it right now, but I want iMovie '08 back. I'm trying to export a movie I'm very happy with, and every time, certain clips, but not others, are moved to the lower left corner of the view, while frames from other clips flash repeatedly and epileptically upside-down on the rest of the view. I can't find anyone else with this problem. What's wrong?

Welcome to the forums
One thing to check is your video card, some video cards produced upside down/reversed images or menus, though I do not recall seeing that happen (did not see what computer you have or video card)
Just took a quick look and did not see a reverse setting or mirror for text

HT4623 While downloading a movie from my Seagate wi-fi to my iPad it plays in a mirror mode and upside down even when I try to rotate.

Playing a movie on my iPad 2 from my Seagate Plus using the wi-fi it plays upside down and the wording is backward. Tried rotating the tablet just turns to the same orientation. If I play the same movie from theSeagate using the USB cable it plays fine on my computer. Is there a fix?

My computer will not disconnect from the internet. It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy

Why do I get an error message saying unable to use disk when creating a DVD

I have successfully burned two DVD's of a group of three I am burning of my last vacation pictures. I have successfully created WMV files for each day of the trip which I have combined to create the three DVD's so they won't be too lengthy. I created a menu with main menu and stop menu markers. When I went to burn the third disk, which is the shortest of the group the program would encode to the 96% and then the disk would eject and it would give an errow message saying the disk was not compatable. This was the same type of DVD-RW disks I used on the two successful disks. I tried redoing the burn 3 times with each time getting to 96% on the encription and then the same error message occurred. I used fresh disks each time. On the forth try I cut the number of WMV files down to 3 to make the DVD half as long. The same thing happened at the 96th% spot of the encription process. Nothing had ever been put on the disks. I am using top quality Memorex DVD-RW disks. Please let me know what else I can do. I am very frustrated. Oh yes, I closed the program down each time I got the error and also shut down and restarted the computer afer each error. I really want to finish this project as I have been working on it now for two weeks non stop. Thank you.

Good, that gets one possibility out of the way.
Since the error about the disc indicates that the Transcoding has already finished, I think that we can probably rule out the next step, but let's look anyway.
Now, for Transcoding to DVD, PrE uses 2-pass Encoding, so it would seem that this problem is comng right at the end of the second pass, at the end of the Timeline. Look very closely at that point, and see if there is anything odd there. Things like gaps in the Video of a Timeline, or sometimes Assets that are not proper, can cause Transcoding to stop. Anything there? [I think that with a disc error, Transcoding HAS completed, and the progress bar is just lagging slightly behind, but more questions are probably needed.]
Last, what brand of blank media are you using? The reason that I ask this is that some companies, like Memorex, buy the cheapest disc that day, and rebrand them, so in a spindle of 25, you might end up with blank discs by different mfgrs., and some can be much better, than others.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I choose an image when creating or updating a Contact?

Hey All,
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I'm converting all of my contacts (from various accounts) to use the iCloud service, and all is going very well except for one small thing. When I either update or create a new contact via the Contacts application, I cannot choose a custom image to associate with a contact. The application only allows me to choose from a list of "Defaults", "Recently Used" or allows me to take a picture from my computer's camera. It seems odd that I can't simply select any image from my hard drive (or from iPhoto), but maybe I haven't set something up correctly.
The web interface for iCloud allows me to select a custom image from my hard drive so I have a work around, but its a bit clunky to do a lot of them.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!!!

When you're in the contact photo edit screen, in the bottom right there is another edit button, click that and drag and drop the desired image in there, scale it as desired, save.

Dark images when creating a PDF in Frame 10

We're having an issue with dark images in the PDFs created from Framemaker files. I've been trying to solve it two different ways, but each solution seems to have it's own set of problems...
1. When we print to PDF using a .ps file generated through Acrobat Distiller, our manuals print fine, but a large majority of the graphics are coming out WAY too dark, with some details being 100% illegible.
2. I can take small documents and "Save as PDF," and the graphics come out fine. But when I try to do this with a large document (100-1,000 pages), Framemaker gives me the infamous "Framemaker has detected a serious problem and must quit" error and then crashes.
Anyone else seen this? I have the latest (I believe) 10.0.2.419 patch.

You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
CMYK? Any spot colors?
The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
"Printing" to
"None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
screen match what ends up in the PDF.
There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

Quality of images when Creating a Moble Me gallery

When I create a Mobile Me Gallery in Aperture with raw format image, the JPEG images Aperture is sending are very low quality (probably about a 6 or 7 on the Jpeg quality setting). I have the gallery set to allow downloading actual size.
I have previews set to quality 12 in Aperture, but it does not seem to use that value. I cannot fine any other setting for the images it exports for mobile me uploading.
So far the only way I've found around this so far is to export all the images and make a gallery with though high quality exported jpegs. This is hardly ideal...

I had the same feelings but could not find a decent solution. The MobileMe output options are not nearly as flexible as third party output plugins. Its infuriating that they wouldn't allow you to choose an output profile.
Rather than accepting the hobbled workflow you describe, I switched to flickr which is a little more fun anyway though maybe not quite as nice for a portfolio.

I live in Australia, should I use PAL or NTSC settings when creating my DVD?

I am new to creating DVDs and I am not sure what settings will give me the best quality when I burn it to DVD. I live in Australia, should I use PAL or NTSC settings? Any other hints?

Hi
My best Guess is - PAL
Does Your electicity current use 50Hz or 60Hz
Sweden 240V 50Hz - TV - 25 frames per sec = PAL
USA 110V 60Hz - TV - 29,97 fps = NTSC
AND
Then it comes to HOW the Video was recorded - AS iDVD does not convert in a very good way. I use JES_Deinterlacer to do this when I need to send a DVD to USA. and it's free on Internet and even very expencive converters doesn't do it any better.
Yours Bengt W
