Video freezes when printing to tape

I am trying to print to tape a project that is 1 hour and 3 minutes long. It keeps freezing for some odd reason, fairly new occurrence. I have done nothing different with a similar project the is 54 minutes long. Any suggestions?

The original files are on a 1 TB external storage device connected via USB.
This could be the source of your problem. USB connected drives are not for video as they lack the dedicated throughput necessary to provide an uninterrupted video stream . Connect your drive via firewire (if it has that option) or move the material to a firewire connected drive.
Also, make sure all drives used with video are formatted as MacOS Extended. If they are MS-DOS, you will have problems.

FireFow freezes when printing to Adobe PDF printer

Hi,
I regularly but not always have FireFox freezing when printing a page with the Adobe PDF printer (not with the plug-in but by using the "print this page" button on the page I visit or by clicking File > Print . The only way to get out is to kill FireFox.
Most often, I can eventually print the page after restarting FireFox and regaining access to the page. The trouble is that the page may no longer be available if the site requires identification and starts a new session ( ignoring the previous one).
This is annoying.

This is as much as I know about that add on [http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/using-pdf-printer.html] Have you checked the printing preferences or made any changes recently?
It is also possible to reset the printer settings: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

FCP Crashing When Printing to Tape Using Audio Follows Video Setting

I'm trying to Print to Tape using the Audio Follows Video setting from FCP. I am using a Sony DSR-11 Deck and a Mac Pro. I was able to Print to Tape successfully earlier today, and I have done it successfully many times before. Every time I try to Print to Tape with the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. Actually, every time I play audio from the timeline using the Audio Follows Video setting, FCP crashes. I have deduced that the problem must be with the Audio Follows Video setting, but I'm not sure what to do to correct the problem. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Well, what version of FCP are you running?
Final Cut Studio 5
How is your media stored? Number of hard drives, how full are they, ect?
I have two hard drives. One is 250GB the other is 750GB. I have my applications on the 250GB drive. All of my media is on the 750GB drive. My computer is brand new, so I haven't even come close to filling the drives.
What is the format of the media you are trying to send out to the DSR?
I'm going Firewire out of the Mac Pro to the DSR11 to a Mini-DV tape.
Have you tried doing a crash record?
I would rather not do a crash record if at all possible. I know that is a back up option, but I also know that my system is capable of working properly.
I really appreciate you trying to help me out on this.

Drop frames when printing to tape !

HI
I would like some help please !!!
The problem is when I print to tape I keep on getting drop frames
Here is the run down
The video is normal some where around 1hr 30 min 2hrs long
3 layers maximum
The audio is four layers
I have tried “Nesting all items” and then printing to video (it last a little longer but I still get the same problem)
My system stats are as follows
G5 Dual 2.7 with 3.5GB Ram, 10.4.8, FCP 5.04 650GB Internal HD and 900GB Sata HD
Thanks

Maurice,
make sure all your audio is 48K
close all sequences other than the one you are using to print to tape
Try exporting your project as a QT movie then place it back on a new timeline and print to tape that way
make sure your hard drives are not going to sleep
try recording from the timeline rather than using the print to tape function

Time code slowly drifting when printing to tape

I have noticed that my time code is drifting a bit when I print to tape, it gets more noticeable the longer the video i need to print is. Why would it do that?

Well, both should be set to drop frame then....by default. Go to the SEQUENCE>SETTINGS and see if DROP FRAME is checked next to the STARTING TC in the TIMELINE OPTIONS tab.

Mini-DVI to VGA - online video freezes when dragged from MacBook to LCD TV

I connected my MacBook to my LCD TV this morning via Mini-DVI to VGA, and am trying to stream online video. The video works fine when the browser is on my MacBook screen, but when I drag it over to the LCD TV, the video freezes. I tried setting the screens to mirrored as well, and the video wouldn't play (on either). I'm not really sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated!

Try this...
With the TV connected, go into Displays Preferences and click on the Arrangement tab. You should see two blue rectangles meant to represent the two screens. One of the rectangles will have a white bar across the top, meant to represent the menu bar. Drag the small white bar from one blue rectangle to the other. This will move the real menu bar to the TV, making it the primary display. Now see if your video will play on the TV.

Video Freezes When Playing Locally

Hello,
I just purchased a used 2012 Mac Mini i7 2.3GHz which has been upgraded to 16GB of RAM and has a 1TB HD and 500GB SSD, functioning as a fusion drive, and is running the most recent OS (10.10.2) with updates. While playing a video on the Fusion drive (desktop), I am experiencing random freezing where the computer is not usable and the mouse becomes the spinning wheel. The freezes last about 20-30 seconds and then the video resumes once the freeze ends. When I play videos from my connected external HD (connected via Thunderbolt or USB) I get no freezing at all, which makes me rule out the video card or processor.
Is my fusion drive failing?
Was there possibly a cord that was damaged when the SSD installed?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I paid top dollar for the Mac Mini and was very excited to get it. I am not worried that I may have purchased a system that has problems.
Thank you in advance!

Open Activity monitor and set it for CP and then memory. Have it showing when yo are playing the video. When it freezes look at the CPU and Memory usase and see if something is using up those.
Also not the exact time of a freeze and that when OK open the Console app in Finder>Applications>utilities and look for log entries at the time. Post suspicious one here.

Video freezes when playing after ipod updating

My 60GB ipod video freezes up after a few minutes of playing video. It was operating fine until I installed the latest IPOD updater software "2006-01-10". I have tried reseting the ipod, but it makes no difference. When the freeze occurs, I found that returning back to the main menu is the only way to get the video to return to playing. Otherwise, I tried fast forward and it sometimes plays, but without sound.
This is a new IPOD, so I can return it today for a full refund from the apple store.
Any ideas?

My 60GB ipod video freezes up after a few minutes of
playing video.
The only way to fix it is to go back to the previous updater. You'll lose everything on your iPod but you can sync again afterwards.
1) Uninstall the 1.1 updater from your computer.
2) Install the 1.0 updater onto your computer. It's on the CD that came with your iPod.
3) Plug in your iPod.
4) Run the 1.0 updater.
5) Select 'restore'.
6) Follow instructions.
7) Resync with iTunes.
Good luck.

Video freezes when burning disc image

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem when making a disc image? I created movie in imovie and saved it as a dv (which I do all the time). After creating an idvd menu, etc., I save it as a disc image. But when I test the movie in dvd player, it works for a while (in this case about 8 min) and then the video freezes. I can still hear it though.
I did a few others a couple months ago and they were fine. This movie is 1 1/2 hours and another was 1/2 hr. and both froze about the same times.
I don't know if it's a system error that may just need idvd to be re-installed or something else.
If anyone has a solution to this, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Thanks for your comment but the problem exists even BEFORE I burn it. I do the test from mounting the disc image and it's there. I think it's happening when idvd is encoding the movie for the disc image, but I don't know why.

Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.

Adding a map page causes my book to freeze when printing or purchasing

I have created several books with maps. When printing to pdf, viewing in Preview or even purchasing, the everything "freezes" at the map page. If I remove the map page everything works fine. I've purchased many books before, but I've never used maps. I'm using iPhoto '09 v8.1.2
Thanks

Problem solved! The larger the map, the longer it takes to "compile" that page. My map page included all of North America. When I zeroed in to just one city and surroundings, the map page compiled very quickly. So I went back to my North American map and decided to just wait. The blue progress bar stopped at that page as before, but after 20 minutes or so it proceeded to the next page and finished the rest of the book. Patience is a virtue.

Video freezes when exporting to Full Quality

[Background: I've been working on a video project in iMovie HD that I'm doing in pieces - exporting each section of the video at full quality when it's done, so that later I can put them all together in a new project.]
Lately I've been having major problems exporting to full quality Quicktime files. The exported video freezes a few frames in, though the audio continues to play normally. This does not happen if I save it to a smaller quality, say, Web Streaming.
I'm having trouble seeing a pattern in how/why/when this happens, too. I have successfully exported movies to full quality both before and after movies that export incorrectly. The first project that had this happen, I decided to reassemble bit by bit to find out if something specific was causing the problem. Turns out that Full Quality exporting started having this problem if I had added titles. After jumping through something like 50 hoops - exporting little pieces, reimporting, exporting just the titles, etc., etc - I managed to work around the issue. Bit of a headache but all seemed to be well.
BUT, the frozen video problem soon happened again. The next time I had this trouble exporting, there were no titles in the project at all, and the problem instead occurred once I added music. So there does not seem to be a pattern within iMovie itself. This makes me think it's either a Quicktime problem or something to do with my computer itself. I have 2GB of memory, 37GB of space left on my hard drive, and I'm running Quicktime 7.4.1 and iMovie HD 6.0.4.
Please help! I'm on a bit of a deadline, too. This is driving me crazy!

Thanks Matt. I am in the same boat as many people have obviously been in - trying to burn a DVD to a film fest deadline of tomorrow, and after 4 hours of trying to make a disk image, getting 'error during burn'.
I have one question.
a) In imovie, I clicked the 'create iDVD' button to create this project - which has problems burning.
b) Now if I simply try to drag that .mov file into the iDVD pane as you suggest, is that identical to what I have done in a) - in that we're operating with the same basic animal. Of so
c) I should try the process of exporting to .dv, reimporting to new imovie, redoing chapter markers and THEN dragging the package .mov to the iDVD pane - hoping that chapter markers are preserved.
Oh ... someone said one should try to save the .mov as a sel contained file. is that necessary?
Thank you for sitting in front of you Mac!

Videos freezing when streaming from router

When i stream higher resolution videos to my TV or PC, from the usb stick attached to my router(linksys EA4500). The videos freeze, then playes again, then freeze, etc. I have no problem with lower res. videos or music. Could there be a firmware update to solve this problem, or is it a hardware issue?
regards, jorgen.

I don't know how to check if the tv can see the 5 ghz. The internet on the TV works flawlessly.
regards, jorgen.
I see. It is better to connect your TV to the 5 ghz network if the TV can see it. 5 ghz is designed for video streaming. Since your accesing or viewing high resolution vidoes from the Virtual USB, the TV should be connected to that network. What firmware are you using? Are you using the Classic Firmware or the Cloud Firmware?

Final Cut Pro application quits when print to tape is selected

We have two FCP stations (Intel, 4 GB RAM, DVCPro AJ-D455, timeline is DV/NTSC 720/480, AJA Kona capture card, 10.4.11 OS) Both periodically shut down the application when the print to tape (DV/NTSC analog RGB out)function is started. Tried using with Rosetta check box selected, this seemed to worked initially (a couple of days) but then failed with the same symptoms which cleared when Rosetta was deselected.
Anyone with similar problems or suggestions? The current myth cure is to unplug the firewire Hard drive prior to printing to tape.

You have experienced a 'kernal panic'. Basically there has been either a hardware or software transgression so severe that the system can not contain it or recover from it and so totally shuts down.
Were you able to capture before? Has anything changed?
I didn't know that FCP3 would run under tiger.

Video freezes when recording

video freezes and stops recording causing me to miss many important moments. I have to close the app and reopen before starting up recording again. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix? It started a few weeks ago when every time I hit the red record button, the app would close. i ended up recording that day in slow mo because I couldn't get the regular video to work at all. Now it has happened 4 different times that I'll be recording and the screen either goes gray or just freezes and I have to close out the app and go back in to start recording again. Help!

My problem was caused by my manual editing of the smtube.ini file.
