Very slow DVD image creation: is there a faster way.

Hi to everybody.
I often need to create images from DL DVD2 and each image takes around 45 minutes. All this time for just 7,8Gbytes of datas (using Disk Utility)? Is there a faster software for doing this?
TIA

Make sure you set Disk Utility's "Image Format" to "DVD/CD master", not "compressed". (Video data is already compressed, so "compressed" will not be much smaller but takes a lot more computing.)

    You shall most likely buy a new phone since updating a hacked or jailbroken phone to the current version of iOS often ends up permanently bricking the phone.

    I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X.  The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case. 
    Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar:  Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while. 
    Good luck.

  • Is there a faster way to sync?

    Hello.
    I had some issues with my Apple TV and MAcBook syncing yesterday and I had to pair my computer again, and the content of Apple TV was erased. So now I have to sync everything again but its taking hours (I think even days). My internet connection might be causing some slow syncing.
    Is there a faster way to sync for the first time? (I guess just to transfer around 50 GB of info into apple TV, and then, wireless works out just fine)
    I left my computer all night syncing and it only did around 11 GB, after that, it went into sleep and stopped syncing.
    Cheers and thanks...

    your internet connection have nothing to do with the sync'ing between your computer and atv
    you don't even have to have an internet connection to sync
    you can try using eathernet rather then wifi but not sure how much it would help
    really the bottleneck seem to be located elsewhere i suspect

  • Hi, my iPhone 3GS wall charger stoped working, and I went to Orange shop with my warranty and L.I.G. insurance.They said I should also give them the phone for almost 10 days, isn't there a faster way, is it possible the Apple Store replaces my wall charge

    My 5YO daughter owns her very own IPhone 3GS, she got it for her 5YO birthday on the 24th of june. its allready upgraded to iOS5, and works like a charm.
    Last evening, while it was charging, a flame appeared and the charger stopped working.The USB still works.
    It was plugged in a Belkin 3700 joule along with my 47 Inch Full HD TV .
    No storm or something like that, and there was nothing wrong with my TV, as in was still running.
    Problem.
    I went today to an Orange store here in Romania, with the charger, invoice,warranty, and L.I.G. (London Insurrace Group ((I think))) insurrance, and they said I MUST also bring the iPhone, and thet it will take just about 10 working days for them to give me back the Iphone, and a new charger.
       Is there a faster way I can get the wall charger replaced?
    Should I try going to the Apple Store with the warranty from Orange.
    Thank you for your answers.
    Please excuse my English.

  • I am migrating from my old black MacBook to a new MacBook pro over wifi but why does it take SO Long...?  I have about 400 gig to transfer and it says 80 hours!  Can this be right?  Is there a faster way?  Is there a way to cancel the migration?

    I have an old black MacBook (2006) and want to migrate to my new MacBook pro i7. The migration assistant offered me the prospect of migrating via wifi.  Stated at 108 hours to transfer about 400 gig. Now revised down to 85 hours. Why is this so so so long??  Is there a faster way?  What happens if I cancel now.  Is there a way to cancel? As there is no cancel button....
    Ay suggestion sighing the next 80 hours very much appreciated.

    The 2006 MacBook has firewire. Use a cable like this. Boot the '06 with the T key held down until you see the Firewire icon. Connect the 400 port on the '06 to the 800 port on the i7. Run Migration Assistant. 400 GB will still take a long time, but it will be closer to 8 hours I think.

  • I have a ! next to some songs and i have to locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in my itunes is there a faster way to do this?once i fix this can i do anything from it happening again?

    i have about 100 songs itunes shows a ! next to it says cannot find please locate i can locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in itunesbut that would take a kong time is there a faster way to fix this?and once i do fix this is there a way for this not to happen again?

    Hello ryane84
    There really is not a faster way to link the songs. You could get the info on the missing songs to see where they sit on your computer and just move the files there before. Then you can organize your library to move them in the iTunes library folder or another place of your choosing. To keep it form happening again, the article does have a section on what to do to keep it organized when new media is added.

  • Is there a fast way to wrap unstructured text into [Para] tags?

    I'm trying out my new Frame 12 by trying to produce an ebook in several formats. I'm using the out-of-copyright Agatha Christie's A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES.
    Is there a fast way to wrap each paragraph with a [Para] tag?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, Russ, leave it to an FDK programmer to want to write a script or plugin to solve every problem! And FM does indeed have native functionality that addresses this situation. The conversion tables (see the Structured Application Developer Reference) that you mention in passing were designed to handle exactly this situation. Except that a conversion table operates on an unstructured rather than a partially structured document. So, all TdeV1 need do is:
    1. Create a new document from the chosen sample.
    2. Delete all content, including the root element.
    3. Paste the original, unstructured paragraphs.
    4. Use StructureTools > Generate Conversion Table to create a new coversion table.
    5. Complete the table as follows:
    Wrap this object or object
    In this element
    With this qualifier
    P:
    Para
    Para+
    Section
    Section
    Chapter
    6. Save the conversion table but leave it open.
    7. In the original document, use StructureTools > Utiltities > Structure Current Document.
    8. Create the needed Head elements for the Chapter and Section.
    Another alternative, available since FM 11, is Smart Paste. Recall that Smart Paste allows the user to copy material from web pages and Microsoft Office products such as Word and paste it into FM. Yes, in general, there is a significant amount of setup to prepare for using Smart Paste. However, Smart Paste is supported out of the box for DITA. So TdeV1 could do the following:
    1. If the content originated in Word, open the Word document and copy the paragraphs to the clipboard.
    2. Use DITA > New DITA File > New <topic> to create a new DITA document.
    3. Click in the <body> element to set an insertion point within that element.
    4. Use Edit > Smart Paste. FM will paste the content, converting each paragraph to a <p>.
    5. Copy the resulting <p> elements to the clipboard.
    6. Paste the <p> elements into the actual document.
    7. Select the <p> elements and use the Element Catalog (or Ctrl-3 to bring up the Smart Catalog for changing elements) to change them to <Para> elements.
    However the structured document is created, while this sample template is appropriate for initial experimentation with structured FM, it is intended for technical material and not optimal for fiction. To get the most out of a structured document for production work, it's almost always necessary to define elements and attributes appropriate to the particular project.

  • Is there a faster way to figure out what a negative number in base 8 is?

    Hi,
    Altough I know that using base 8 in java is rare, I am still curious about ways to convert from a negative decimal number into a base 8 number.
    For example, when we want to find out the negative representation of -11 (base 10) in base 8 . I would first convert -11 into the 2's complement representation of base 2 first (i.e. 11 in binary is 00001011; -11 two's complement is then 11110101). I then convert this into base 8 (365). Is there a faster way for this?
    I hope i am not confusing everybody.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a fast way to convert mp3 to mp4?

    Got a large library of audiobooks in itunes that are in mp3 format.  I want to convert them to mp4.  Join Together by Doug Adams does a great job of this but is sloooow (appears that Quicktime is running in single step mode.)  Is there a faster way to make the conversion?  What are the best sample rates and data rate for a fast conversion?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You still haven't talked about the reason for converting, other than easier to use. I can read between the lines and guess that you are copying the files to some special device that doesn't like MP3,but no idea what it is or why MP3 doesn't work with it. Also, are you settled on using AAC format? I think it is a more advanced format intended to replace MP3 (Haha... sorry, just thinking about how long these PC guys took to give up on Windows XP-- they will fight much harder before giving up MP3 and AVI),
    Try Max for conversions. It has a batch feature (drag a dozen files to the window and click the Convert icon). Here is the comparison I got:
    Using iTunes to convert a 3:02 length song, 192 kbps, 4.2MB MP3 to AAC 128 kbps, 2.8 MB, the conversion time is 59 seconds.
    Using Max (free) to convert the same MP3 to the same setting of AAC 128 kbps, 2.9 MB, the conversion time is 37 seconds.

  • Is there a faster way to 'write' automation?

    I have a plugin that adjusts the gain on a vocal track.
    One of the features is to automate the adjustment so that the automation can be adjusted manually afterwards for fine tuning.
    As far as I can tell, the only way for this to happen is to 'play' the whole audio all the way through with the plugin in write mode.
    Is there any faster way to get that initial automation curve created?
    Also, is there a feature to reduce the number of automation points? IE turn 100 points into 10?
    Thanks!
    - Jac

    Thanks Eriksimon! 
      I have a plugin that will create the automation, and I'd like to edit/fine tune that automation after the plugin has created the initial automation.
      I'm looking for a way for that plugin to run through the file faster than real time so I don't have to wait an hour for the first pass to be written.
      The other thing I'd like to do is,  once the automation is drawn by the plugin, I'd like to reduce the number of points it created.  In Reaper, there is a functoin to select a bunch of points and reduce them down so that say 10 points might reduce down to 3 if most of them are reasonably redundant. I'm looking for a similar function or script for Logic Pro X.
      Thanks for the reply!

  • Very large DVD image/folder ( dvd9 in size)

    I'm having problems making an bluray folder or image that is readable by anything!, (using encore).
    So In encore i changed the project format to DVD and set the disc size to custom = 20G !
    My mediaplayer (popcorn hour) did play it OK, incl first-play, menus and subtitles, but i wonder if anyone else have experience with generating DVD image or folder which are large than dvd9 ?
    (obviously you can not burn it, but who does that nowadays anyway)
    /per

    ..to answer my own question: the 20G 'DVD' played very well...
    now I wonder if the player wil accept H264 encoding instead of MPEG2
    ..if so, i guess the only difference to bluray would be the lack of popup menus ?

  • Masking out images. Is there a better way

    Could someone help me out and maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0.  Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
    how are these guys clipping these images http://www.cr8tiverecreation.com/home.swf
    they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline. Im not seeing any code for this or anything Please anyone help me out here. Thanks!

    you could but that would be more cumbersome than simply assigning the background color to be transparent using the bitmapdata class.  and even that may be problematic if the background color is used in the foreground and you don't want it to be transparent.

  • Is there a fast way to change size and Res in multiple photos?

    I have cs5 and am trying to change 70 to 100 photos from 4288x2848 300ppi psd, To 1000x664 at 72ppi jpeg quickly. Is there an easy way? If there is not a fast way to do it what is the best way to do it? Any help would be appreciated.

    Yep it can be done in bridge.
    First copy the files to another folder for protection.(just in case something went wrong)
    Select all of the files then click the export tab (may need upgrading of bridge to see the tab, not sure)
    Double click save to hard drive,
    The Image options tab will let you change the size of the image.  However it looks like the resizing is restrained only and does not offer a ppi setting.
    Your other option is to use image processor.
    First create an action that will change the ppi.
    Now it just a matter of running image processor and tell it what folder has the images you want changed, what folder you want the new images at, The file type and file size, and finally the action you just created.
    image processor can be run from photoshop (file>scripts>image processor) or bridge (tools>photoshop>image processor)
    Whether or not ppi has to be change depends on what you are using the images for. Prints require it to set the print size, for the screen it is not required since the screen has no way of knowing how to use ppi.
