Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

Hi

How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

Why don't pictures from a slideshow made in iPhoto and then burned on to a DVD in iDVD not use the full screen?

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

How do I burn my camera videos using iDvd without using a theme? I just want it to start playing all my clips once I insert into a DVD player

Hello,
I have done this before in the past and now I have forgotten how to do it! I would like to simply put all my camera videos from the past year onto a DVD but do not want to have the iDVD theme menus and chapters. In the past, I was somehow able to upload and burn these videos using iDVD without the themes. Can someone help? Thank you so much!

Creating an Adobe .pdf file without using the Adobe printer

Is it possible to create a .pdf file by using Acrobat or Microsoft Word or any other program without using a printer driver? So far, when I remove the Adobe printer, I cannot create a .pdf file, as it is looking for the printer and printer driver. Is it even possible to create a .pdf without using, or having, a PDF printer of any sort? Any help on this issue would be most helpful. Thanks.

I was trying to find a way to create PDFs without using the Adobe printer, or any PDF printer. I posed this question to see if there was a way to create a PDF without the aid of a printer or not. I mean, I know how to reinstall the Adobe printer, since I had to to see if there was another way to go about creating without using the printer. I am just curious if there is a way to create a PDF file without the aid of the Adobe printer or other PDF printers.

Is it possible to redeem a digital copy code without using the DVD?

I have a Rambo digital copy code but no DVD rom drive. Is there was way to use the code and just download it off iTunes or not?
Also im in Canada.

From what I've read, the digital copy is on the bonus disk; it's not downloaded from the iTunes Store but rather copied from the disk.

Is it possible to create Qt Widgets inside After Effects using the SDK?

Hi,
I would like to use Qt to create Dialogs and Widgets inside AfterEffects.
I started out with the Panelator example in the SDK. I can include QtGui into the project, but as soon as I create any object with QObject as a base-class After Effects crashes immediately with the following error: '[...] could not be loaded (48::46)'
When I try delay load QtCore.dll and QtGui.dll I can at least start the plugin and see, that the crash happens in the initializer of the QObject.
I use
VS 2010
QT 4.8.5
and my buildenvironment is x64
I was wondering if there is any kind of incompatibility of embedding Qt in After Effects (due to linker/compiler setting or defines or something like this).
This is the debugger output:
Locals:
Threads:
My code in the Panel-constructor function:
    int argc = 0;
    char *argv[1] = {""};
    QApplication* a = new QApplication(argc, argv); // THE ERROR OCCURS IN THIS LINE. for a test I exchanged it to QWidget* w = new QWidget(); and it happens as well.
    QWidget* w = new QWidget();
    w->show();
    a->exec();
Outside of AfterFX Qt works fine and I also can delay-load QtGui and QtCore.
If anyone of you already has experience in using QT in AfterEffects, I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance.

It finds QtGui and QtCore, it misses out some other dependencies further down in the hierarchy of USER32.DLL:
Which doesn't seem to disturb if I don't include and use QT:

Is it possible to create a DVD of photos that will play on a television?

Is it possible to create a DVD of photos from iPhoto that will play on a television?

Yes. You'll need a video DVD authoring application like iDVD and an external optical drive. I suggest a 3rd party optical drive as the Apple Superdrive is limited to USB 2 which has rather slow through put. Get one with USB 3 or FW.
Export a slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p. Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Or open iDVD, select a theme, create a slideshow in iDVD and add the photos from iPhoto via the Media Browser in iDVD.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
There are simpler (in features) video DVD authoring applications available from the App Store.

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
Thanks

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

Can not create a DVD (It gets green on the lower half of monitor)

Hi, everyone. This is second posting.
I still have a problem when burning the DVD.
Now I am ready to create a DVD.
Then I simulated the project on DVD Studio Pro 4 ,the lower half of the monitor gets green.
And sometimes I can not burn a DVD (can not choose "format") or even I could do it and mount it again , it shows "untitled DVD") Besides the burned DVD also gets green.
My project worked fine on final cut pro.
Did I install This application wrong?
or my Macpro has a problem with itself?
I need help. Please please give me any advise.
Thank you.

Yes, by citations I mean footnotes, or endnotes in this case.
I finally found the vertical ruler, which wasn't showing, but what really solved it for me was turning on invisibles, which let me see what the column breaks were doing. I still don't have the total control I want over the way it looks, but at least the two, two-column sections are separate and above and below the horizontal box. I wish all the citations were below the rule line.
But I was amazed and grateful to find that Word docs would drag and drop into Pages. This is going to be a great tool. I just started with it a few days ago. I will report the non-wrap bug.
Thanks,
Alan

Is it possible to force 16/32-bit stack alignment without using the optimizer?

The compiler emits code targeted at the classic Pentium architecture for the -m32 memory model. I'm running into problems mixing Sun Studio compiled code with code built with other compilers because the other compiler builds under the assumption that the stack is 16-byte aligned.
The only way I've found to force Sun Studio to comply with that restriction is with -xarch={sse2a,sse3,...}, but this causes the code to pass through the optimizer. As noted in the documentation, if you want to avoid optimizations you must remove all flags that imply optimizations -- that is to say, there's no way to disable optimizations once enabled. This should not, however, be treated as an optimization because it's an ABI requirement.
I've scoured the documentation, spent many hours googling, digging through forums, and asking questions.
The best I've come up with is the -xarch option which is sub-optimal because it has side effects. I tried -xchip=pentium4 (this is what my other compilers have set as their default target), but the generated code doesn't force 16-byte stack alignment.
Is there a way to force the compiler to emit code conforming to a different ABI without using the optimizer?
-Brian

Thank you for your response.
I hope you won't mind my asking: do you have a way to prove that it's not possible to force 16-byte alignment without using the optimizer? I ask because your username / profile don't give the impression you work for Oracle, so while I think you're probably right it's at least possible that we're both mistaken. I haven't been able to find any documentation on either stack alignment or altering the targeted ABI short of using the -xarch flag, and even there the details are fairly sketchy.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

Creating an ajustable 3d shape (without using any plugins, Away 3D etc).

I followed this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=PfR9n0eZJvs
And I created a 3D cube in flash using the 3D rotation tool and registration points. I know it isnt truely 3D it more like 2.5D.
I have the finish item and its cool but I was wondering, how would I go about using actionscript to edit the cube. I would ideally like to be able to edit the size of the cube maybe extrude it in some way. Also how could I spin it on its axis In a similar way to using the 3D rotation tool.
I dont know how to do these things without ruining the effect on the cube itself.
Im relatively new to Flash and AS3 but im trying to really emerse myself until I have really mastered it at a high level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Fred

convert your cube to a movieclip and use its 3d properties.
