Encoded my surround files in compressor and now need to author to DVD. What software can I use?

I've created my AC3 file from my 6 surround audio files along with my video in compressor. What software can I use to author my surround video to DVD? I have FCPX but I don't have DVDSP or toast. Any suggestions?

Although I don't use it, I'm pretty sure Toast will treat the file properly. (But I would go on the Roxio forums to check.)
If confirmed, that would probably be your lowest cost solution.
Otherwise, if you know someone who has either Final Cut Studio or Adobe Production Suite you could use DVD Studio Pro or Encore.
Good Luck.

I have 50-60 Mac OSX devices on my corporate network. I woudl like to install an "agent" on them that would allow me to report on how many have X copies of this or that software.
I also need a corporate Antivirus solution.
For PC, we have used things like MAAS360, Kaseya, Dell eSmart, etc....
What is a comparable Apple product for small business?

Can I avoid re-encoding of .mov files with Compressor and DVD Studio Pro?

Hello,
I've had some projects banned at one of the tracking sites because my iMovie 6.0.1/iDVD 7.1.1 workflow involves re-encoding of the iMovie .mov file to MPEG 2 when authored in iDVD. I did some research, and was advised that I could get around the re-encoding by using Compressor and DVD Studio Pro instead of iDVD. But, when I import the iMovie file to Compressor for authoring in DVD Studio Pro, the result is another MPEG 2 file. So, am I missing something, or is there no way for me to avoid re-encoding with Apple video production tools.
Thanks for any assistance.

The simple fact that you have to encode your files into an mpeg-2 stream means that you're going to experience a loss in quality. Check the bitrate of your DV files. The max bitrate for all of the elementary steams (audio, video) on a DVD is 9.8mbps. So if your source has a higher bitrate than that... you're going to experience "lossiness."
However there are some tricks that I've read about that increase the overall quality of compression... and yes they are for windows. Check out AVIsynth and MeGUI... there is a learning curve to learning these tools though. I never followed through with it.
EDIT: Also forgot to mention that learning these things takes TIME. Quality encoding takes much longer than realtime.
You can also check out some higher quality mpeg2 encoders like cinemacraft and HC encoder, although the former costs $$$. The quality you get from these encoders are much better than what you have in iDVD and DVDSP/Compressor.

I can no longer download and save files. They are now saved with a ".part" suffix that I can not use or open. What happened, I used to do this all the time?

Downloads seem to be happening normally at first but the file shows up with a file extension of ".part" that I can not use or open. If I refresh the folder where it was downloaded to, it disappears as though it wasn't there at all.
I used to do this and it just yesterday started to give me problems. It doesn't seem to matter what file type I do this with as PDF, MP3 and EXE files have all shown this problem.
Please help!

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Go here:
https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
Good luck, because if you can't remember it, you won't be able to use the phone.

Half way through an update the phone crashed and now needs restoring. Is there anyway I can restore without losing my data on it?

Half way through updating my software I experienced an error and now advises that I need to restore my iphone. On the front of the screen the itunes symbol showing the charger needs to be plugged in. Is there any way in which I can access my photos and music that is/was on the phone?

In recovery mode, all the data on iPhone is gone.
After recovery you can try restore from backup if there's one.

Upgraded, and now my original serial number won't work, can't use pages!

Hi everyone --
I recently upgraded my hard drive in my ibook g4, and backed everything up to an external hard drive. I've since transferred everything back, including iwork '05. Now I open pages and it asks me for the serial number...only thing is, I didn't keep the original box/book w/ serial numbers, and only have it written on a slip of paper -- I entered it, and it's not right! It's a series of 5sets of numbers/letters (QMMH-6CDS-etc.etc.). Do you think if I call apple they'll give me another one? If not, how the heck can I obtain a new serial number so I can use pages again? This is so frustrating...Thanks!

Laura,
I'm sorry you're having problems. iWork '05 was infamous for making some serial numbers difficult to enter. Make sure you properly distinguish between zeros and ohs. Zeros will have a dot in the center. Also make sure you enter a one and not a small L. They look very similar. Use the hyphens. Don't use the Caps Lock key.
Finally, don't ever throw out package materials that have serial numbers on them.

What software can I use on OS X Mavericks to burn my photos on a DVD? iDVD is too slow and crashes.

I am using a late 2009 13" macbook pro with Mavericks. I want to backup my photos on multiple DVDs. I tried using the iDVD software that came with Leopard. iDVD keeps crashing and is too slow. Is there any good software that any of you has used?

What version of iDVD are you using? If it's version 7 but not the final 7.1.2 version download and run the iDVD 7.1.2 updater on the app.
If you do have 7.1.2 try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

I want to be able to use the ebay time zone app so I am using nightly builder version and I don't like it. What version can I use and still get my ebay thing, and how do I remove what I have? Thank you

what version supports ebay time zone

Sorry, but if your phone is locked to AT&T, there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked. AT&T will not unlock an iPhone for anyone for any reason. Sell it before you move & purchase a phone when you get there.

Uninstalled Acrobat Pro (part of CS 5.5 Design Standard) and now need to reinstall. How??

I am so confused. I have CS 5.5 Design Standard running on a Windows 7 computer. I have the serial number. The problem is, I stupidly uninstalled Acrobat Pro and now need to reinstall it. What do I do? I downloaded Acrobat Pro X from the download link on the Adobe site but it won't take my serial number. I am guessing because the serial number pertains to the entire Creative Suite, not just Acrobat.
Please help. Thanks!

Correct. You need to use the full suite installer.

After creating a slideshow in iDVD and burning it to a blank DVD-R disk, can I later add another slideshow?

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences
