Did you input that file by hand into Compressor?

Or did you “Send to Compressor”?

I too am attempting to burn some DVD-Videos, and it aint pretty.

“Funny I have read a bunch of posts that the Mac refuses the installation of an older OS. Maybe from the Apple store, but I thought a clone might work. ”

I have been successful cloning old systems to one that the Apple installer will not allow the install.

The best way to test it is to boot from a clone and do some tests on the hardware BEFORE
actually cloning the OS onto the new hardware system.

Like I typed, it is due to a worn out battery bank in an off grid system,
with the major load being a large refrigerator.

You are describing a well-working on-grid system, which I am sure most everyone else
here is using besides me.

And yes, it might just be a few volts of fluctuation, I will put my KillaWatt meter in front
of the UPS and watch those numbers.

And it is don’t transcoding to the optimized media>?

1.6 How much video can you fit on a Blu-ray disc?

Over 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video on a 50GB disc.
About 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video on a 50GB disc.

I mostly always use a UPS on any computer that is not a laptop.

Right now I am off grid on a PV system that has probe with the main batteries,
so when I here the refrigerator kick on, I also here the UPS kick on – doing something.
Maybe just activating for a blackout, but mostly likely a temp surge for a brown out.

This is a little 500va with a 12volt 7 AH battery
that barely lasts 6 minutes on my mid 2011 iMac 21 inch.

Every time I hear that glitch – which is everyday and often,., I am glad I got a replacement battery
at home depot from the automatic gate closer section.

” this would cover my needs with room to spare”

That is so very subjective.

If you really want to be able to be able to make sure you can keep the computer and
hard drives running for an hour or so during the rendering, there are commercial
UPS’s that allow you to add one, 2 or more external batteries to the unit,
to make sure there is enuf time for your needs.

It all really depends on how much money you want to spend to make sure the power stays on.

This one, like all the others are telling you, is to make sure you can shut down,
and have no clue about processes that take more than 10 minutes.

Oh, I have issues like this a few time.
It is about how they respect you or not,
and then how they will respect other friends that are professionals,
yet feel they can get a deal called “free” or
“you do it for the exposer” and then “forget” to credit the work.

My advise:
Give that friend one more chance to “come clean.”

And then get to the next project, and don’t forget to use some of those tricks
that you did for this past video project.
