Mini DV Video - Storage for Mac and Windows

I have about 16 hours of miniDv video that I have imported through iMovie and is now saved on an External HD connected to my Time Capsule. I have a Windows machine wirelessly connected and I would like to be able to access these files. I do not seem to be able to open the saved files. Any thoughts on either how I could make this content readable by both Mac and Windows?

To read it in iMovie on Mac, your drive must be formatted as Mac OS Etended (journaled).
For Windows, you drive can be formatted FAT32 (readable and writable by Mac (but not by iMovie)) or
you can format as NTFS, which is read only by Mac.
Your best bet is to format a different drive as FAT32 and copy these files to it.

Peru Bob makes a good point. I just assumed the OP understood what the System requirements | Adobe Creative Suite 6 were.

1) Open the PDF in Preview
2) select the menu item "View > Thumbnails"
3) select the page you wnt to share
4) copy (by using the key combination <command> + c OR select the menu item "Edit > Copy"
5) select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard"

How to use an external hard drive and copy files to the disk for mac and windows??

please tell me how to copy files to external hard disk and use it for both mac and windows. there is the fat32 formatting bt i dont wanna use formatting because i already have a lot of content on the exteral hard disk. thank you.

It is simplest to have the HDD formatted to noe common to both Mac an PC. ExFAT is one. But to do that will erase all data on the HDD.
If the HDD id formatted NTFS, Mac can read but not write to it. The solution then is to use a third party application such as Paragon or Tuxera which will overcome that obstacle. These applications do have mixed reviews.

Cd-rom for Mac and Windows

Hi there,
I want to make an hybrid cd-rom for both, Mac and Windows, and I am using the fscommand code in the first frame of my actions:
fscommand("fullscreen","false"); // returns the player to normal menu view.
fscommand("allowscale","false"); //sets the player so that the SWF file is always drawn at its original size and never scaled.
I want both commands with their properties, however the displayState property is new to me. Please, Could you help me to do the same with this?.
Of course all in AS3.
I also have a code for a button that closes the .app of the .exe:
function cerrar(e:MouseEvent):void {
fscommand("quit");
cerrar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar);
Thanks in advance.

The stage displayState and scale properties are like so:
// fullscreen
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
// fullscreen with keyboard active
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
// non-fullscreen
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
Note that changing the displayState is usually done after the first frame is rendered so adding in a listener for that before changing it is a good idea. The scale and align don't require this.
e.g.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEF);
function _onEF(e:Event):void
     // frame has rendered, remove listener
     removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEF);
     // change display state
     stage.displayStage = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Speaking of align, if you use NO_SCALE and expect to resize, you'll probably want to anchor the resizing from the upper left, like so:
// top left registration
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
Otherwise upon resize the upper left pixel will actually go into negative numbers.
Scaling is:
// no scale
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
// scale to fit exactly (aspect not maintained)
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
// scale but maintain aspect:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
Exiting a projector, still the same..
import flash.system.fscommand;
cerrar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cerrar);
function cerrar(e:MouseEvent):void
     fscommand("quit");

Photoshopversion for mac and windows when switching?

Hi,
I have used now the photoshop trial version for windows for windows for a while and would like to buy the full version. However I will switch to a mac in December or January and would really appreciate If I would be able to start out with photoshop already now on my windows pc so that I don't have to wait with purchasing photoshop until I have the mac.
If I buy a photoshop license, will I get a version for both platforms or how does it generally work if switching platforms? I am also using Lightroom 4 and when I bought this as box it came with both a mac and windows version but I noticed that for photoshop I have to choose in the store.
Would be nice if you could help me with this.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Tom

Lightroom is multi-platform. It is licensed for Mac and/or Windows and you can install it on both since you can activate it on up to 2 computers.
Traditionally licensed versions of Photoshop and other apps are single platform licenses: Mac only or Windows only but you also have up to 2 activations. Mac/Mac or Win/Win.
Creative Cloud versions of Adobe Suites and apps (e.g. Photoshop) are all multi-platform licenses: Mac and/or Windows - so you can activate them on Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac. That may work best in your situation purely from a licensing perspective but you'll be locked in to a monthly fee.
You can cross-grade from Windows to Mac but that usually involves an upgrade at the same time (e.g. CS5.5 Windows to CS6 Mac). Check with Adobe Sales for further options.

Formatting external hard drive for MAC and Windows

I have an external hard drive that I would like to make compatible with BOTH Mac and Windows. I don't want to split it but is there any way that I can make it compatible to where I can use it back and forth between both? I have classes and use Photoshop on both systems and need to be able to read and write to the hard drive from each system. Please let me know if this is possible and how? Thanks

I have a 500GB external HDD which I had to format o Fat32 a while ago. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I remember it was a pain in the *** and took forever (I was under Windows XP).
So short answer to your question is yes. It is possible and as the above person said, you need to format to Fat32. Long answer is it will take some time and effort. Here are a few links to help you get started:

I haven't tried any of these (I believe I formatted mine downloading a third party app), but you might be lucky. Good luck.

Formatting for mac and windows

Is it possible to have mi iPod formatted for both mac and windows? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks

Now you can be 100% sure, StarDeb!
As another of the old windows guys, I had the same question when I made the change. Windows format works just swimmingly with Macintosh computers. Can't say the same for the other way around.
In fact, the iPod I had at the time, a 15 GB 3G (the one with the red buttons, and still the best looking of the lot), is still formatted for windows even though I have not had a Windows computer for several years now.
So enjoy the Powerbook (just bought a new to me G4 iBook, myself) without fear that the iPod will be a stumbling iBlock.

I want to buy an Iphone 5 but need to upgrade my operating system from OSX 10.5.8 to at least 10.6.0. Also my hard drive is partitioned with Mac and Windows. How can I upgrade?

1. Click here and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
2. Use the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to return the drive to a single partition setup.

Best video format for mac and pc

Hello,
I recently embeded an mpeg video, flv, mp4, and swf video file to my web page. I then asked several pc users to go to my page and see if they could view the animation clips. They were were able to view all clips, but the mpeg and flv clips automatically downloaded to their computer. I don't want that to happen. The mp4 did not download, and it worked as well.
How do I stop this from happening? I ask becuase it seems flv is used by mac and pc users alike, and I think I may use said format.
What is the most widely used video format by both mac and pc users?
... should I just stick with mp4 since it worked without down loading?

code i used...

Colin has pointed you in the correct direction.
I'll bet you're using just plain text "links" to your files. That method by-passes the browser plug-in and can cause issues (especially on Windows).
You need solid html code that gives the browser plug-in all of the needed instructions.
Another thing that may have happened is that your fast start files have lost their fast start abilities. This happens with any fast start file that is then edited and uses a regular "save". Save As will restore the fast start feature (even in files that do not normally have it).
AVI is dead. Do not use it.
Many WMP formats (codecs) are not yet ported to the Mac OS so that delivery container should also be ruled out.
H.264 Video codec (default in most Tiger app exports) also requires the viewing machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed.
Since not all machines can install QT version 7 (requires 10.3.9 or Win 2000 or XP) maybe you should rule it out, too.
So.
What are we left with?
Maybe QuickTime format using MPEG-4 Video codec and AAC audio?
They would only require QuickTime version 6 be installed. Since version 6 has been around for over 5 years it may be your best option.
But you're still going to get complaints from PC viewers.
