Using Encore 3 Under Leopard 10.5.4

I have recently purchased the Adobe Production Premium package and successfully prepared several Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's using Encore 3. However, whenever I attempt to output any of these DVD's to Flash Video by selecting Build>Output to Flash from within Encore 3, my menus transcode, but when Encore gets to my timeline video, the progress bar goes to about 20% almost instantly and remains there forever. I have tried several different types of video files including short Quicktime movies created in Final Cut Pro as well as other formats in the Encore 3 timeline. The result is always as given above. When this happens, I finally have to Force Quit Encore 3 because selecting cancel on the transcode give me an endlessly spinning beach ball.
I am running Encore 3 (latest updates installed) on an 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) with 12 GB of RAM and under Leopard 10.5.4 (latest version with all updates installed). I have successfully transcoded these timelines that seem to freeze Encore 3 using MPEG SlipStream so I know the files are OK.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Does output to Flash simply not work under Leopard?
I have posted this problem on both the Adobe Encore User Forum and written to Adobe Tech Support. I have received no response from Adobe.
Thank you in advance for responding.

Since no one replied, I can now confirm that the failure of Adobe Encore CS3 to successfully build a DVD to Flash Video is a known problem which has been confirmed by Adobe Technical Support. The feature works perfectly under Windows XP or Vista and it did work in Leopard on an earlier version of Quicktime, specifically Quicktime. specifically Quicktime 7.3.1. However, under the latest version of Quicktime (7.5), the Build to Flash Video feature in Encore CS3 has been broken. I have provided detailed feedback to Apple on this issue. One can only hope that in a future release of Quicktime, the problem will be corrected.

Some images created in Tiger unusable under Leopard - can crash Aperture

I have tried both updates and clean installs of Leopard on my MBP and external firewire disks. In both cases I find that a large number of images in my libraries (built under Tiger), give Aperture fits. For example, whilst I can see thumbnails, I can't export versions - messages come up to say the images can't be decoded. Similarly, if I try to edit or view some images full screen, I get a message saying "unsupported format". At times, trying to work with these images crashes Aperture.
In a couple of cases, I still have the offending images on cards and I was then able to import them anew into Aperture (running under Leopard) - these work OK.
Boinx Fotomagico under Leopard stopped running and quit without warning trying to run previously created slideshows that incorporate some of the above-mentioned images.
I conclude that there is a problem with Leopard's treatment of images rather than Aperture specifically. However, I have no clue how to address the problem. At present Leopard is just unusable for me.

Hello
a - my way of life is the Winston Churchil's one : "absolutely no sport"
b - as during more than 30 years I ruled a pottery workshop using a process which is unique worldwide, I know what confidentiality means.
c - Whe I exchange with Apple, they don't ask me to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement.
They perfectly know that when I beta tested I NEVER violate the signed ones.
I'm aware of anomalies when using Numbers under Leopard.
Maybe you met one which I ignored.
Knowing such of these problems, I decided to use Tiger as my main operating system.
Here, as I play safety, Leopard is always in test, not in real use.

Outputting a DVD To Flash Video in Encore 3 Under Leopard

This topic is indirectly related to Final Cut Pro 6 (since it is the source of my Quicktime movies in Encore 3) and I post it here because I have had no luck getting any responses on other forums including the Creative Cow and Adobe forums.

I have written to Adobe Tech Support. I have received no response from Adobe. I feel that someone on this forum must be using Encore 3 (since it is one of the few ways of getting Blu-ray DVD authoring on the Mac) and has tried to output the DVD as Flash video from within Encore 3. I am simply trying to determine (1) if this is a known issue when running Encore 3 under Leopard; (2) if there is any fix to get Output to Flash working from within Encore 3.
Thank you in advance for responding.

David,
My hat is off to you for persevering with Encore 3 and getting it to output flash video. AFter reading that you had gotten it to work, I was inspired to try once again. This time I encoded my timeline to DVCPro HD by exporting the FCP project to Compressor. I then took this timeline (an 11 minute video) into Encore 3 and tried to build a flash DVD. I have a main menu and scene selection menu, and they both transcoded fine in about 20 minutes, but once again when Encore got to my timeline, the progress bar moved to about 1-2% and simply stayed there. After 7 hours I finally gave up and canceled the transcode which had never progressed any further and did a Force Quit on Encore.
I noticed in doing the above, that during the transcode of the menus Activity Monitor shows my cpu is reading 170-190 and varying as you would expect. Once Encore hits my timeline and begins the transcode of that, the cpu drops to 100 and remains there with no real sign of activity.
Can you tell me if your DVD that you successfully output to flash with Encore 3 had chapter marks in it? I am wondering if they could be the trouble. Some people have indicated that they solved the problem by going back to an earlier version of Quicktime. I am using version 7.5 of Quicktime, which is the latest version. Can you tell me what version of Quicktime you are using on the Mac that succeeded in outputting to Flash video using Encore 3?
Thanks again for your help.

ARD client disconnected from ARD under leopard after using curtain

I have just noticed a problem that occurs when I put a client under curtain mode under leopard....the client disconnects from the ARD console and remains in the locked state until I go over and manually restart the system...anyone else having this issue

Sorry, I hadn't noticed that someone replied...Geez you would think they would get this stuff corrected...Do you know if there is going to be an improved ARD in the future. I manage a lab and apple tools are better and more reliable but still have a long way to go....

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

Workaround to import video in FCP 6.0.5 under Leopard

On behalf of a FCP user under Leopard with FCP 6.0.5 I would like to ask you how to import video from a Panasonic camcorder using some strange format. The workaround now is to import it on another machine under Snow Leopard with iMovie, export it as one .mov 'for computer use' and import it in FCP 6.0.5 on the Leopard machine. The video from the camcorder does not play under Leopard, probably because of the QT version 7.6.6.
The Panasonic camcorder has an SD card with video which is recognised as a Camera Archive. It has folders with a name like PRG001 containing files like MOV001.MOD and MOV001.MOI and PRG001.PGI.
Possibly there is some plugin, extention or other workaround?
It is currently too expensive to upgrade FCP 6.0.5 to the latest version, although the 2006 MacBook Pro with Intel might be able to run it. I was advised not to upgrade to Snow Leopard without upgrading FCP, because it will cause all kinds of trouble.

Although I would still need to buy the "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X" to work with it, right? At least that is what MPEG Streamclip suggests when I try to open the MOVxxx.MOD files with it.

I am using a macbook leopard why can't i bring songs from my playlist to my ipod i get an error message saying ipod can't be synced disk not found this just started happening

i am using a macBook Leopard and suddenly I can no longer ring my songs from my playlists to my ipods. I keep getting the message Ipod can't by syncd disk cannot be found. this has never happened before and I have 4 ipods that cannot be upedated or changed.

This happens with ALL of your iPods? So, it's probably not a problem on the iPod side of the connection.
If you have not recently (at least since this problem occurred), be sure to restart your Mac. At the same time, you can also Reset your iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
A Reset just restarts the iPod (it is not a Restore). Then try it again.
If that does not help, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, on the Summary tab, if Enable Disk Mode is currently NOT checked, see if checking it and clicking Apply makes any difference. This is more of a test. If that setting makes a difference, it may provide a clue for the actual cause.

CUPS printing to remote server doesn't work under Leopard

So i have an ubuntu system running cups 1.2.8 as a print server. i have an epson stylus colour 760 plugged in and configured and working.
i also had a macmini running tiger printing to it fine via ipp. now it didn't occur to me that something as simple (and important) as printing would be severely broken under Leopard. basically, after the upgrade, i can't print at all to the remote cups server.
the symptoms are that the job queue will pause; even after clicking on 'resume', it will start the progress bar, and then after 100%, it will just pause again.

Lexmark Optra S 1250 - Working under Leopard

I wanted to let people know that the Lexmark Optra S 1250 printer can work under leopard (10.5.1). It was quite a (stressful) experience getting it working but here were the essential steps:
1. After installing 10.5.1, reinstall the latest Optra S printer driver.
2. Ensure the printer is connected and powered on - mine is connected using a USB to Parallel converter cable but could also use an Ethernet cable
3. In the 'Printer & Fax Preference pane click the "+" to add a new printer.
4. Let the search for the printer driver complete(by gosh it is extremely slow!)
5. Click "Add" and when the drop-down box starts looking for 'printer options', don't wait (it never completes) but click the "Configure" button. Select your options and then exit.
6. Hopefully the printer now shows up as added on the left side of the Preference pane.
7. Close and then Restart the computer. I couldn't get the printer to respond to print commands (drove me crazy!) until after I decided to shut down and restart the computer.
8. If you still have problems, you may need to go back to the Printer & Fax Preference Pane, control-click on the printer icon in the left side of the pane and select "Reset print system". After that, redo steps 1 to 7.
Good luck
Rudy

Explain #8.
Did you restart after adding the drivers?
If you open the System Profiler, under Firewire or Printers what do yo see?
(Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info/Firewire or Printer)
If it sees them then you know it's a configuration problem.

Erratic pointer: right clicking in VISTA under Leopard Bootcamp

Hi! This is my first post, so please be gentle! I have searched the forums and, although I can find many similar threads, I haven't been able to locate an identical one to this. Or, more importantly, a solution.
I have the 2.16ghz, Black MacBook which came with Tiger installed. I had been using VISTA under Bootcamp Beta for some months with no problems. I recently ungraded to Leopard (keeping all my original settings etc), upgraded the Bootcamp drivers and everything was still working fine.
Since upgrading to Leopard I had felt that the Mac OS was a little slower in certain areas. Nothing severe, just mainly the time to display the contents of a folder could take a couple of extra seconds. A few days ago, I thought I would start afresh and would do a fresh install of both Leopard (erasing and installing) and VISTA. Leopard now runs perfectly. Very smooth and noticably faster.
VISTA installed with no apparent problems and I used the Leopard disc to install drivers. After they were installed and the machine restarted, VISTA gave me a problem retort saying certain drivers were not installed (iSight, null issues etc...etc...), although they definitely had been. I noticed this problem report is mentioned in the Apple trobleshooting questions but in says it may occur before installing the drivers and installation will resolve the pronlem. However, I didn't get the report till after installing the drivers. Anyway, that in itself is not the most obvious problem (as things do seem to be working, mainly).
My main issue is... When I right-click in certain ares (2 fingers on trackpad and click on button), the pointer "jumps". Sometimes vertically, sometimes horizontally. However it only happens when rightclicking on an item which is part of a list or number of options. For example, if I open the GAMES folder in the start menu and try to right-click on Solitaire, the pointer will jump making it impossible to make a selection. The same problem will occur when selecting from a list of items in a folder. I can right click on the desktop with no problems.
VISTA worked perfectly under Bootcamp BETA and under Bootcamp 2.0 before erase and install. I have tried to install an old trackpad driver from Bootcamp BETA that I found on another forum but when I try to install it, I am met with "...you already have the up to date driver" and it will go no further.
Can anyone help?

Do you know how to remove a driver (may need to do a Safe Boot for some), reboot, and install the driver you want.
Sometimes, maybe during testing? maybe the presence of the older driver first, and then update.
Meaning that having the older drivers from 1.3 etc, then apply the 2.0 Apple drivers, works best. Remove, install, see how that goes, and maybe then apply 2.0 drivers if you want (I'd wait and see how it goes).
Also, you might want to look into cloning and backing up Vista. I can say that Acronis TrueImage looked good, but eventually learned hard way they don't yet support Mac (EFI/GPL parttitions). So I use Norton Ghost 12. WinClone is working on an update for Leopard.
Might want to send feedback to Apple about BootCamp which is always useful and helpful.
Just a guess/hunch.

How do I deactivate PS CS3 under Leopard?

We bought a Mac Pro but are keeping the old iMac around for light work. I need to deactivate Photoshop CS3 on the iMac so I can activate my license on the Mac Pro. Unfortunately, under Leopard the Photoshop help menu has been replaced with Leopard's help menu so the deactivate option is not where Adobe says it should be. How do I go about deactivating my Photoshop license?

Mark, unless you need to install a copy on a laptop, you are allowed activation on two computers.
This is from adobe's site:
"The activation process supports installation on two machines. The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. While the activation process supports installing and activating Adobe software on two machines, the usage of the product on the second computer is restricted to the user who licensed the software. Allowing others to use a second copy of the software violates the product license agreement."
http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/
I keep a copy on a second computer, a laptop, in case I need to work on a project whilst backing up or updating software.

Color misregistration scanning with image capture under Leopard 10.5.2

The scanner is an older Epson Perfection 1250 Photo. Under Tiger, Image Capture scans perfectly. Under Leopard (Image Capture 4.0), the RGB channels in the image appear to be misregistered. I downloaded the Leopard compatible TWAIN driver from Epson, and the scan looks OK when using the Epson Scan app. The reason I would like to use Image Capture is that it offers PNG as a format for saving, while the Epson Scan app does not (TIFF is significantly bigger). Anybody noticed this issue?

Move the com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist file out of your home /Library/Preferences/ folder to the Desktop and try again. If that works, delete the moved file, and reset IC's preferences. If not, create a new admin user account, log in, and see if the problem persists. Report back.

DVDSP run under Leopard?

Hi!
I've been combing eBay for a copy of FCS or FCS2 and been researching how DVDSP 3 or 4 runs under Leopard before I purchase. Unfortunately I see a lot of folks that have had issues running DVDSP 3 or 4 (FCS or FCS 2) under Leopard.
Essentially, I am currently running 10.5.8 on a G5 1.8 DP and I am looking for a version of DVDSP that will run under this so I don't have to use a dual boot system just to burn DVDs. Is there a version of DVDSP that will run under this configuration, or do I have to buy an Intel Mac?
Additionally, if I do buy an Intel Mac, can I get away with a MacBook to run DVDSP and FCP and save the heavy lifting of Motion and/or Color for a desktop?
Thanks!

I don't have any significant experience with Leopard other than on a Mac Pro, but I've had full FCS2 installs running on 2.5GHz G5 dualies (Tiger) since it was released and have both FCS2 and FCS3 running on Snow Leopard flawlessly.
Apple says you need an Intel processor to run FCS3, but the Get Info for FCP7 says the code is universal and therefore it may run on a G5. Irrespective of that, DVDSP4 should run fine on your G5.
As for what you can "get away with" on a MacBook, you may find that the lack of firewire on recent MacBooks a problem. Additionally, I'm not sure about the video support. The MacBook Pro is a better choice, but more expensive. You may want to look into a used Mac Pro as an alternative.

No more SMS from Adressbook under Leopard?

I liked to use the right click option on a phonenumber to send an sms to someone through my mobile which is connected via bluetooth. It seems that this feature was stripped under Leopard. Why? I really liked it. I hope Apple isn't stripping functionality to favor the iPhone-functionality!

Yes, Apple has removed this feature.

Yamaha RP-U200 only partly working under Leopard

I had been cheerfully using my Yahaha RP-U200, a USB sound output device, for audio output on my macintosh under Tiger. It was recognized by the Sound Preference pane without problems. However, under Leopard, I find that only the sound input features of the unit are supported. It is no longer listed under the Sound Output part of the preference pane. Why was the support for the sound output for this unit removed from Leopard? Am I doing something wrong? Please advise how to correct this problem.

You've posted this under the *Mac OS X Server* section of 10.5 discussions,
and it's not at all clear why.
You're likely to get more input (if not a solution) in the non-server section...http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=235
10.5 is a very different operating system, with no guarantees that your device will be supported.
Did you do any testing or check Yamaha's site for info on 10.5 compatibility ?
You might want to submit some feedback at
www.apple.com/feedback
and possibly call Apple support
Best of luck with this !
