Q: Multiplexing Error...Again
My last 2 projects - using iMovieHD to create movie using imported video and photos - have ended up with multiplexing errors (in Best Quality Mode) when creating the .img file. They were under 1 hr so selected Best Performance and both created the .img file without problems. However in Best Quality always get the multiplexing errors. (Earlier posting I noticed had just the opposite results.) WHY the error in one mode and not the other?
Year ago I had multiplexing error problem and isolated it to 2 photos. Re-imported those photos and worked OK. Now trying to isolate the problem on this latest project as final will be over 1 hr. This has over 600 photos + video. Video sections OK, but 3 sections of Photos fail. I've edited all photos to 1000 X 1400 using PhotoElements 4.0. Most I dragged directly to the Clip section. (Do not use iPhoto.) Should I be using the Import Cmnd? Also is there a limit on how many to import at a time? One group was 190 photos that I imported at once, and something in that group is causing a multiplexing error. Also I set most photos at 3 sec duration. Is that a problem?
I'm doing all the earlier posted things like - delete iDVD.plist, restart Computer, plenty of room on system disk, etc.
It's obvious from other postings multiplexing errors are caused by multiple problems. Would be nice if Apple would assign error numbers and keep a log you could look at.
Help appreciated. Terry
