Using recompressed files with same name -- DVD Studio keeps crashing!

Hi,
I completed a project for a client, but they now want music added to certain parts of it. Because there are so many menus, buttons, etc., I decided to add the music in FCP, recompress the files using the same name as the original file used in DVD Studio, and hoped that everything would then relink.
It does relink (it gives me the message that assets may have changed timing, etc) but any time I try to do something (like Simulate it), it crashes.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better or easier way to solve this problem? Would greatly appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks!

In theory it SHOULD work, FCP seems to do a good job updating say if you are using a Photoshop file and you change it. The timeline in FCP shows the change and I never seem to get any problems there. With DVDSP, however, it's a whole different story. As the previous poster said, change the name and that should work. It sounds like your project might be beyond fixing that way however.
Here's a little more on the subject of replacing assetts and what I learned: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9788507#9788507

  • While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

    While saving Multiple Attachments from Mail, existing file with same name are not overwritted but new files are added in the folder.

    Hi all
    Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
    I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
    That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
    Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
    Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
    Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
    I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
    However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
    You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

  • Merging Log Files with same name

    Hello,
    I have log files with same name 00000000.jdb (because created at different machines). I would like to merge data stored in these two files.
    I tried below approaches which do not work:
    1. rename one of the files -> doesn't work as file header has file name info which doesn't match with renamed value
    2. db dump/load -> dump and load works without error. (i have to dump Entity related Database and Format related Database -- from -l option) However when i try to read the file, it gives error.
    Exception in thread "main" com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentFailureException: (JE 5.0.103) Catalog could not be refreshed, may indicate corruption, errorFormatId=52 nFormats=51, . UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Unexpected internal Exception, may have side effects.
    I am using EntityStore and thus Annotated Entities.
    Does any one has any insights?
    Thanks.

    Yuvaraj,
    As you discovered, it is not possible to use .jdb files from one environment in a different environment.  The .jdb files use an internal format with relationships between files that form the Btree.
    I'm glad to hear you were able to use DbDump and DbLoad successfully.

  • Script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

    Looking for script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

    Are you just looking to find if any two files underneath a folder have the same name?
    If you just want to know that a file named "whatever" exists in two folders, that's not too difficult, but you probably want to know the full path names.
    Here's one attempt:
    $ perl -MFile::Find -le 'find(\&w, "."); while (($n,$p)=each %file) {if(@{$p}>1){print join(" ",@{$p})}} sub w{push @{$file{$_}},$File::Find::name;}'That will print the pathnames on the same line of any files with the same name that appear anywhere underneath your current directory.
    It's a bit long for a "one-liner", but functional.

  • Files with same name

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have several files with different assetId, but with the same assetUri, and in the same folder?
    Initially, I though yes, because the assetId is a unic id that could differentiate two asset with the same assetUri (that is the visible name in the user interface).  But after trying, I noticed that, in this situation, sometime only one asset is shown in the UI (bridge for example), and sometime all the assets are shown, but they are inaccessible (no preview, no possible to open them, no information, just the two assets with the same name represented in Bridge).
    Is there then a way to show, in the user interface, two assets (with different assetId) with a same name?
    Thank you
    ps: by the way, to have two files with same assetUri, different assetId and in the same directory, it makes Bridge struggling (using 100% processor)

    You can use the same class name in different packages.
    The Java API does that (java.awt.List, java.util.List).
    This is odd. What version of javadoc are you using,
    and what command are you passing in, with what classpath setting?

  • Static Files with same name. How does apex determine which files to serve?

    Hello, I'm using apex 4.2.1.00.08 and I cannot figure out how apex manages the static files and cannot find any help in the docs (other that some high level UI description).
    The application is serving some file and I cannot find which one it is in any easy way.
    I have a workspace where there are several files that have the same name, and I cannot understand how apex figures out which one to serve, and also don't understand what is value of associating a file with an application.
    There are files associated with application 0, which don't appear to show up in the "shared components", but can be seen as
    SELECT *
    FROM wwv_flow_files
    WHERE flow_id = 0;
    and can apparently only be deleted using "SQL Commands" inside apex.
    the URL called is something like
    wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=13498126233076320&p_fname=myfile.css
    so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.
    apparently files linked to flow_id 0 have precedence over all the other files ...
    Thanks for clearing up a bit of "fog" on this issue.

    Files associated with an application are referenced using *#APP_IMAGES#*
    Files not associated with an application are referenced using *#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#*I referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#, but now I see that if I use #APP_IMAGES# the URL generated will also contain the application ID.

    Thanks, but the documentation doesn't give much details ... apparently files referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# can still resolve to files linked to specific applications ... I would like to understand the actual workflow for the various cases (file references with APP_IMAGES, referenced with WORKSPACE_IMAGES, file associated with the application, with another application, with no application, with application "0" ...).
    Also, I find it somewhat misleading that you can have files associate with applications that don't exist anymore (e.g. have been deleted).

  • Multiple files with same name--- automatic renaming option??

    I am trying to sort my files by adding multiple files to a single folder. However, many have the same filename, and I get the error " there already exists a file with the name "x", please choose another name" etc. I am dealing with thousands of files here that are very tedious to rename individually. Is there an option or program that either disables this block on multiple files with the same name in a common folder, or automatically renames the files as they are placed in the folder?

    i would like all the files to have different names, but not have to do it myself. they are generated my my audio recorder, which automatically names files take1, take2, take3 etc. multiple sessions entail multiple folders, i am trying to consolidate.

  • Utility that makes jpg files with same name as avi file

    I would like to have my avi files catalogued in Photoshop elements 2.0 as I do with my photos - tagging etc.
    but I do not want to include the avi files in my photoshop catalogue since when backing all photos all clips would be included = to many GB ( I already back up the avis separately)
    So what I want is an easy way to automatically convert a frame from an avi file and save it with the same name as the avi.jpg - so I can import that to Phel and tag it.
    Any one who knows of such an utility?

    >So what I want is an easy way to automatically convert a frame from an avi file and save it with the same name as the avi.jpg - so I can import that to Phel and tag it.
    Jan,
    Are you aware that the Photoshop Elements Editor has a function that will create a still photo from a frame of a video? Look at File > Import > Frame from Video in the Editor workspace.
    And I think that Premiere Elements 2 may also have a function for capturing a single frame and saving as a photo file. (I don't have Prem Elem 2 available at the moment to verify that it is present in v2.) I believe that it was in Prem Elem 3 that I used this function.
    However, I don't think that either the Photoshop Elements or the Premiere Elements functions satisfy your request that it be automatic. I think that you would need to invoke that command for each video clip and then choose which frame of the video.

  • Importing files with same name but different extensions

    Hope I will be clear enough.
    Lets say that instead of sending a file from Lightroom to an external editor, I open it directly in Photoshop.
    When I'm done, I save the edited photo using the same name but in a different file format : IMG_1333.cr2 > IMG_1333.psd or IMG_1333.tif, and selecting the same folder location.
    Then, I come back into Lightroom and synchronise the folder.
    Why is the knew version of the picture not showing up beside the original file, despite the different extension ?
    I notice that the different extensions ( .psd or .tif ) are recorded in the sidecar files field in the Metadata panel.
    Of course, everything works fine if the file name is modified ( or just by selecting the "copy" option in Photoshop's "save as" dialog box ). Lightroom synchronise dialog shows the new photo to import.
    So, why is Lightroom not making a difference between files with the same name but different format extensions ?
    Thanks for any hint :-)
    Gilles.

    Gilles-
    I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
    To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I avoid re-encoding of .mov files with Compressor and DVD Studio Pro?

    Hello,
    I've had some projects banned at one of the tracking sites because my iMovie 6.0.1/iDVD 7.1.1 workflow involves re-encoding of the iMovie .mov file to MPEG 2 when authored in iDVD. I did some research, and was advised that I could get around the re-encoding by using Compressor and DVD Studio Pro instead of iDVD. But, when I import the iMovie file to Compressor for authoring in DVD Studio Pro, the result is another MPEG 2 file. So, am I missing something, or is there no way for me to avoid re-encoding with Apple video production tools.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    The simple fact that you have to encode your files into an mpeg-2 stream means that you're going to experience a loss in quality.  Check the bitrate of your DV files.  The max bitrate for all of the elementary steams (audio, video) on a DVD is 9.8mbps.  So if your source has a higher bitrate than that... you're going to experience "lossiness."
    However there are some tricks that I've read about that increase the overall quality of compression... and yes they are for windows.  Check out AVIsynth and MeGUI... there is a learning curve to learning these tools though.  I never followed through with it.
    EDIT: Also forgot to mention that learning these things takes TIME.  Quality encoding takes much longer than realtime. 
    You can also check out some higher quality mpeg2 encoders like cinemacraft and HC encoder, although the former costs $$$.  The quality you get from these encoders are much better than what you have in iDVD and DVDSP/Compressor.

  • Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

    Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
    When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
    Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
    Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
    Any thoughts?

    I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
    It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
    Please send a fix for this Apple.
