Encoding went much faster!

After reading the previously published tip about hiding iMovie while rendering, I decided to see if there were any changes with iDVD. I started 'top' running after iDVD began encoding, and noticed two processes using most of the CPU time: EncoderSer and iDVD. Both were using around 50% CPU on a DP500. After hiding iDVD, it's usage dropped to 2% and the EncoderSer jumped to 163%.

Hide iDVD not enabled
I am in the process of burning my first DVD and thought I would try the trick mentioned. The iDVD dialog says "Stage 3: Asset encoding ..." and all the menu options in the iDVD menu are hidden except the Services option.
Switch first then hide
Try clicking on the Finder first, then select "Hide Others", and then use the dock to make other apps visible on a case by case basis. I'm not sure if minimizing will help or not...
This does not work for me.
This does not work for me (IDVD 2.1 and Mac OS X 10.1.5). As soon as it enters Stage 1 switching to the Finder and selecting Hide Others hides others, but now iDVD because it is too busy to pay attention ;-)
Anyone able to do this?
As far as I can tell this tip is totally bogus. I can't hide iDVD. The iDVD menu has "Hide iDVD" greyed out while encoding. If I click on "Hide Others" from finder (or another app) everything is hidden, except iDVD - which doesn't seem to honor "Hide Other" while encoding. |
