While encoding in iDVD, my Processor 1GHZ reached 68°C/154°F .... yikes?

Hello,
As stated, last night I encoded a video in iDVD. For the first time I used a temp monitor.
It was on a table so it had maximum ventilation. I do have a 120GB 5400RPM drive installed, I know that will contribute to the ambient heat.
But the processor never went above 68°C/154°F. Hard disc got to about 118°F.
Right now the processor is stable at 43°C/110°F.
Thanks,
Dave

That's good to know.
I right now as I type, my processor is at 131° F or 54 °C.
One reason I ask this is because I just did a Superdrive upgrade to my PB. In doing so, one of the spring-screws on either side of the processor broke off of the mother board.
It didn't do any damage, but now the heat sink is has only one of the two spring screws holding it down near the processor chip.
I don't want to be operating under too hot temps and I need to know what is acceptable and common as a temp.
Thanks,
Dave

  • IMac display won't stay asleep while encoding with iDVD

    My iMac's display refuses to stay in sleep mode while I am encoding a project in iDVD. (Note that I'm referring to sleeping the display, not the entire computer.) I encode large projects overnight, and I am concerned about possible burn-in, the annoyance of the unwanted light when I'm trying to sleep, and the waste of energy. A search of the archives reveals a long history of the same problem which unfortunately has remained unsolved.
    I have tried the following with no success:
    1. Ruled out accidental mouse/keyboard strokes as the problem
    2. Used Hot Corners to initiate sleep (wakes back up after 5 seconds)
    3. Setting the sleep display timer to 1 minute in the Energy Saving settings
    4. 3rd party app and widget "Sleep Display" (only works for 10.4 Tiger apparently)
    Does anyone have any new ideas about this bug/problem? Does it only affect iMacs?
    Thanks

    How can you be sure? It may be some system operation that's doing it.
    This may also prevent the display from sleeping, but the next time you're doing this you might launch Activity Monitor and order the process list by CPU. Then when the display wakes up, note what processes (besides the DVD encoding software) are using non-trivial amounts of CPU time.

  • I am trying to create a idvd project but the it does not while encoding the films, Why ?

    I am trying to create an iDVD project. I create to sub menus and put small films in each sub menu. When it starts to create the project, while encoding the films, at one point to time it just stops abruptly. Why. I fail to understand. I I tried twice, and it happened the same. I have created the projects in the past, but it has worked just fine. This time it is behaving rather weird.
    I went on to see the report and I feels it stops with a 32 bit film. I may be wrong, but could you please help ?

    See  Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic for questions relating to encoding problems: Stage 4 Multiplexing - Media error in...: Apple Support Communities. He's the most knowledgeable if that area.

  • Change iMovie project while Burning in iDVD?

    I use iMovie to import and process football game clips from our games and scout games. I change some clips, add titles, etc., and then ship it to iDVD for making the .img file. This process works really well.
    My question is once I start the .img burning process, can I close the source iMovie project and import a new set of clips (game) into a new project without harming the iDVD burn process?
    I'm very hesitant to do this as I'm not sure of the relationship between the iMovie project and iDVD when burning the DVD/.img file. I don't want to harm the iDVD processes by going to another project. Yes, I know that I can probably recover quickly, but this is normally a time driven process done in the wee hours the morning after the football games. I don't want to have to recover and start anything over at that time of night.
    My suspicion is that they are independent and I can import a second project while burning the first.
    Thanks

    ... I guess I got a bit dramatic there...
    that is the question... (besides the actual "what is showtime?" in about 30min???)
    I think, this is a typical Karl Petersen question..
    my knowledge stops at:
    iDVD uses the .imovie file as a reference, to collect all items needed for conversion; the conversion itself is a step-by-step process (menu, audio, video...); if you now change anything WHILE encoding... e.g. change the ref.mov by editing the project, or, better, delete something (a music file)… then?!
    that is a vry tricky process, a kind of "collaboration" as programmers would call it...- I'm no programmer, I'm a user: when finished, I quit iM, launch iDVD, tell my Cube "nitynight" and next morning (450MHz here), my .img is ready to burn on my disk....

  • ERROR WHILE ENCODING FILE

    Hi Everyone
    While burning a DVDSP3 disk of about 3.5 gigs, I get this error message: "error while encoding file". This happens about 7 hours into the burn. I have tried it twice. The second time after fixing preferences, etc.
    I am using a G-4 laptop with a Lacie RAID 5 external drive.
    Reading this forum, I see the problem is not unusual. But I never encountered this problem in the past.
    So why is this happening now?
    Also, to fix it the most frequent suggestion is to export from FCP-4 using compressor.
    Does this solve the problem?
    And what preset should I use?
    The compressor help menu has a lot of information but does not specifically tell you what preset to use for a standard DVD-R burned on DVD SP 3.
    The DVD-R, like most DVD's, has to play on any NTSC television or any computer.
    If anyone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it. Because I am stumped.

    On the pane issue, it will be different because you are running an earlier version of Compressor.
    On the A.Pack side of things when you launch the Application you will see tabs where you can set the same things in the image on the website (dialog normalization to -31 etc.) Let me know if you find them, or I can get some screenshots
    On the settings you can try one of the settings that will fit your video. 60 Minutes will be too short, so you need one of the 90 minutes settings (or longer, which knocks down the video bitrate a bit, but may prevent stutters, but for the short term use a 90 minute setting.) The difference between the settings (Good, Fast etc, I do not remember all of the Compressor 1 variations and not in front of a computer right now with it loaded, can look later if you like) if using different types of encoding- VBR, CBR http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_4.php).
    I am pretty sure rates are adjusted based on the lesser time being higher rates, while speed/quality is VBR/CBR. Take a look at the video rates being used, and makee sure the MAX Rate does not exceed 7.4 (or a bit less to be safe)
    You may just want to try the fast setting first to see if it cures the build issue, then move on if you are in the clear. (Or you can try the two pass build for overnight). Make sure you have room on the disc where you are building the encoded file.

  • AME CS5.5 freezes while encoding

    I upgraded my iMac to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) a couple weeks ago. I tried encoding a 30 minute 1080p video to H.264, VBR 1 pass and it freezes midway through the encoding process. It did this a few times and I never had this issue before upgrading the Mac OS. Any reason why I am having this issue?
    Thanks!

    Try either disabling GPU acceleration in PPRO before exporting to AME or queuing up only one job at a time.
    There's a lengthy thread here on the forums about similar issues with AME CS5.5. One big thing to keep in mind is that the hang on AME's side is just a symptom--a result of a problem upstream--and there have been a number of different issues that all resulted in AME hanging while encoding. We fixed several of these issues in CS6, but at least a few known cases remain. So it's worth downloading the trial version of PPRO CS6 to see if your case is fixed.
    Also, there are subtle differences in the particulars of the hang, such as whether it hangs in about the same spot with a given sequence--if so, then there's probably something about assets or effects/transitions at that point that is triggering the issue. If AME hangs at different points in a given encode, then it might be a resource issue on your system, such as RAM getting maxed out.

  • Error while encoding then missing assets

    I am trying to burn a file that has been exported from Final Cut. Compressor used in the sequence was DV NTSC. I exported as a QT movie (.mov) and left everything to current settings and self compressed. The file was a little under 2GB. I Imported into DVD Studio Pro which played the movie in viewer and in the simulation just fine. When I tell it to burn it gives me an "error while encoding file" and tells me the file. When I go back into the assets window the movie (not the audio from the movie) is red indicated it is not linked. When I relink it, it works, then go to burn and the same cycle starts again. I had this problem before and it magically worked a couple of days later. But, now it is happening again and I want to be active in finding a problem instead of waiting around and praying. Any ideas? Codec conflict? .mov? uncompressed? Is DV an issue? maybe DV exported as mov? I have no clue, but I feel like someone may have had this problem before and if we fix it, someone else will benefit from our solution Thanks for help!

    Note: I was running FCP and DVDSP at the same time. Maybe thats it? I feel like it shouldn't be. I am restarting my computer and PRAMming right now.

  • Error while encoding

    I get an error when I try to encode/burn my video. Heres what it says:
    Error while encoding file:/Users/matt/Desktop/indian party video 2 (first part)
    The problem is specifically with the video asset but I don't know what it could be. It's not the audio or anything else. The video asset won't even encode when I turn on background encoding. Instead of getting a green light I get this: "E:" with an empty bar next to it.
    Heres the specs on the video asset:
    Format: Quicktime video
    bits/second (avg.): 5,500,000
    width: 720
    height: 480
    closed GOP: yes
    Frame rate: 29.97 non-drop
    Aspect ratio: 4:3
    Length: 00:45:26;06
    Codecs: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Timecode, Text
    The estimated encode size for the whole DVD is only 2 GB
    Heres how I have the encoding set up:
    Video standard: NTSC
    Aspect Ratio: 4:3
    Feild order: Auto
    Encode mode: Two pass VBR
    Bit Rate: 5.5
    Max Bit rate: 7.2
    Motion estimation: Best
    anyone know whats stopping it from encoding?

    Ouch Bob,
    Have you tried deleteing your FCP preferences and submitting again. I always thought that the "can't connect.." error was only intermittent!
    Can you make your movie out of FCP, and then directly take that movie into Compressor? If you can't there is a patch floating around which allows you to regain access to the mpeg export facility in Quicktime 7. When I think of the name I will post it for you.
    Otherwise if you need to compile inside DVDSP, is your media on a firewire drive? If it is bring it back to an internal disk setup.
    Good Luck

  • Recycling IIS Application Pool when processor load reaches a certain %

    Hi Team
    I need to create a recycle event when the IIS server processor load reaches about 90%, it would then need to recycle the IIS Applications Pool,

    In addition to this, i know that this can be done by IIS but my boss wants it to be logged and managed by SCOM, thanks

  • Idvd stopped while encoding

    I am experiencing this problem...while creating a dvd...the blue line marker stopped moving while at "encoding video". But the little spinwheel is still spinning. Should I force quit or should I leave it alone? Thanks for the help.

    I would let it go. Some times this takes a while on various computers. Are you making a disk image in iDVD '08?
    Is your entire computer up-to-date; i.e., 10.4.10?

  • IDVD quitting while encoding

    Hello, I have been working through all the issues with iDVD here and I have run into a very very annoying issue. I have gone through the whole process without problem, chapters and such. But when I goto burn the disc in the last step before the disc starts to burn either I get a kernal panic or iDVD quits.
    This has been increidbly frustrating as I have had some projects that have gone into their 12th hour out of 18(!) and then bammo, rat soup.
    So can anyone help me out with this issue? My last attempt was in the midst of the video encoding, with four hours and 18 minutes to go and the program froze.
    Help help help. Sure this is only for home use, I haven't tried it with DVD Studio Pro, but the waiting and waiting and then crashing is really getting to be irritating.
    Thanks to those who help.

    A-yup, I know this is the iDVD '08 forum. I am presently running the software on a iMac G5 with 1.83 GHZ and 1 GB SDD memory.
    I have run into this problem repeatedly, the shorter the movie the better it runs. I mean the other day I set the computer up to encode and 14 hours later it stopped. Mind you it still said I had four hours to go.
    I had the initial problem with the themes, where the program would quit ASAP. Now I just want to burn some stuff and am growing frustrated with all the waiting coupled with the doggone program quitting on me.
    I have about 54GB free on my hard drive. It is usually 94 our 150 but I have a lot of clips (that I want to burn to DVD to get off my computer) on there taking up space.
    I am just clicking the burn button on the bottom of the program. Should I be burning a disk image file?

  • Idvd stalls while encoding either video or audio

    I am using version 6.0.3 of idvd. Once the video has been imported from my digital video cam and idvd begins the process encoding the video and then the audio, idvd often stalls and stops responding, which requires me to force quit idvd losing all the data imported. This issue is very frustrating since it takes more than an hour to import the video content only to lose it all with a moments stall. I had this same problem with version 5 and I had hoped that version 6 would correct the issue, but to no avail.
    Also, I am unable to import video from iPhoto saved a .mov file into idvd in order to burn the video onto a disk.
    Thanks for everyone's assistance ahead of time.
    Rev Tim

    Rev Tim,
    Sounds like you are using OneStep - I'd go back and use iMovie to import, and then iDVD to burn - that way you won't lose the video import.
    The most common issues that can cause your problems are:
    1) not having 16 bit audio - this document is for iDVD5, but applies to iDVD6
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300741
    For that matter, you always want 16 bit audio, even in iMovie.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42974
    2) Not having enough free space - make sure you have 20GB free plus 2GB for every ten minutes of video you want to import. Yes this is a lot, and more than Apple says you need, but personal experience tells me it is important.
    As for the iPhoto .mov issue, I agree it should work (and I have done it). Exactly how are you trying to import the .mov file?

  • Should I let the Powerbook sleep while it is encoding in iDVD?

    Should I let my Powerbook sleep when I'm burning a DVD or discimage? Will letting the Powerbook sleep interrupt the encoding process? Thanks, Janice

    Hello, Janice,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    I would have answered, NO, keep your Powerbook on and don't let it sleep, but then I did a search for you and found the thread below. You could have found this thread by doing a search in iDVD discussion with the terms 'encode' and 'sleep' (That is how I found it!). You will find as you use the discussion forums that many times your question has been addressed, or you will find some similar questions, and you will definitely find out new information.
    So, have a look at this thread. There are conflicting opinions here, but I would go with Len Goff's suggestions as he is very knowledgeable:
