Once and for all, can someone please tell me with credible certainty, is Smiley Central safe to use?
There is so much conflicting info out there. I love concept of being able to use the emoticons, but don't want to download spyware/malware/viruses. . .
The only OS upgrade option available for a PowerBook G4 is Mac OS X 10.5. It may be more cost-effective to purchase a secondhand Intel Mac.

Once and for all: Can DVD SP build Blu-Ray disc content or not?
Maybe I’m crazy, but…
Everything I’ve heard to date has Apple backing the Blu-Ray format. Believing this, I just spent $900 on a new Lacie D2 external Blu-Ray burner (which IS Mac compatible). I also purchased Toast 8 (which IS Blu-Ray compatible).
All I need to do now is build my disc content (assign H.264 1920x1080 content, build menus, etc.) then drop it all into Toast and burn Blu-Ray video discs… right?
So what is all this I’m reading here about DVD Studio Pro supporting the HD DVD format and not Blu-Ray???!!!!!!
Am I going to be able to do this using DVD SP or not, and if not, can anybody tell me a program I can use to build my Blue-Ray disc content? (All of my HD content is H.264 (1920x1080) rendered directly from Adobe After Effects).
My deadline for this project is fast approaching and I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on this. If I can build Blu-Ray discs and burn them on my Mac using Toast 8 and the Lacie D2, I’ll make my deadline and justify the $900 spent thus far.
Can anybody help?
Thanks, SMWait a minute,
Maybe I don’t need to buy PC to run DVDit Pro HD. I have a Mac Pro! With Boot camp I have a PC! Any reason I shouldn’t try running DVDit on my Mac via the Boot Camp beta? That way I'd also be using my Lacie D2 Bu-Ray drive. And with Roxio's 30 day return policy I haven’t much to loose...
I'm calling Roxio tech support. Let you know how it goes

A LITTLE LATER:
Just got back from digging into Roxio's discussion forum and here's what I found:
I have travelled down the same frustrating path my friend!
But I did succeed doing it all on my new mac Pro, finally...
Install BOOTCAMP (free beta). Install WINDOWS XP ($269 from AMAZON). Install ULEAD BD RECORDER, which comes with DVD MOVIEFACTORY 6 (free trial, $80 to buy).
BDAV worked well from SONY V1-U burning to MATSHITA BD-MLT SW-5582 and played perfectly in new SAMSUNG 1200 palyer on my 57" DLP.
TIP - install BOOTCAMP et al on its own HD, and use NTFS... This will come in handy when doing a BDAV from a file such as HDV1080 that is larger than 4GB.
To do BDMV, you'll need SONIC DVD-IT PRO HD ($499) which I have yet to try...
Frustrating process, but kinda cool to figure it all out, especially when NOBODY in sales at any of these places seems to have a clue.
So there you go - must be possible

Once and For All, Can I Yank Out that SSD?
I am looking at getting a new MacBook Pro Retina, and I can't tell if once I order that thing: Can I open it up, take out that SSD and put back in one of those Seagate Hybrid drives? I am sure the SSD's are nice and all, but they are crazy expensive, and I feel like they will be way cheaper in years to come. Additionally, I need a lot of space because I need to dual boot for work and school and getting the 750 is like an additional $750 - and that takes it from 1500 - 2200!!! Forget that.

<Edited by Host>This is the ONLY thing you can stuff in a Retina: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Retina_2012
Well, take that back. Maybe in Texas you can stuff some Crazy Ants in there and let them destroy on your expensive computer. But you probably know how crazy Texans are.... -
Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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 retailier 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.

I rented a film from the store and download it on to my lap top i then moved it all ok to my ipad the following day my ipad restored to factory settings and i lost the rented film can someone please tell me how to get it back to either my laptop or ipad
Did you watch the movie on your computer?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

Hello
can someone please tell me how to modify this code so that I dont have to enter the file path at all? When i give the same file path constants to both the read and write VIs I'm getting an error message.
Attachments:
read and write.vi 11 KBYup use the low level File I/O opening the reference once, and closing it once.
As for the path selection you have an unwired input which is the path to use. Programatically set that and you won't be prompted to select a path. Usually this is done with a path constant to a folder, then using the Build Path, to set the file name in that folder.

Account needs sorting once and for all PLEASE!
Hi, I have sent an email to moderators here as I did last time. Last time I was given a rebate, for incorrect bill. My bill AGAIN has not been worked out correctly. To be frank I am fed up of rubbish BT not sorting out my problems since September last year.
One thing cannot be done at a time, my whole account especially online is all in a mess, nothing is as it should be, and someone needs to go on a computer to go through it with a toothcomb to fix it. Rebate on a bill is not going to change the fact my bills are being generated incorrectly. STILL!
I wish to SPEAK by phone to anyone who can fix this as I am not going to continue this way with BT, and if they even try to charge me for no honouring my side of the contract, then I shall end up taking this up with a solicitor. I have even been charged £10 on my new bill for not honouring my direct debit, considering one of the foreign advisors had promised my bill would not go out my bank, but it did try to, twice and I was charged £50 from my bank, and you even try to charge me £10 for YOUR mistakes.
I am fed up. I have 8 months left on this so called contract. I do not intend to go on like this for that amount of time. I want my account sorted out once and for all PLEASE!
I apologise to you forum admin, and I know this is NOT your error, I am merely really frustrated at the lack of communication to fix my problems and have spoken via phone 3 times since my last forum entry to try fix my online account, and have been promised again it would be fixed and it is not.
Thank youHi thebillies,
We were looking into this for you and had reported a fault to try and get to the bottom of the discrepancies.
I'll make sure that you get an update on this later today.

Can someone please tell me why when i order an app on my sons ipod, do I get charged twice for it? When I tried do report a problem with the charge, it said that I can not get a refund on that item. This is the second time this has happened to me. Does it have anything to do with having more then one ipod linked to the same account? Thanks for any help you can give me!!!
It has nothing to do with have more than one device using that account.
After you purchase it once, you redownload it on other devices by the following, not like purchasing a new app.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you really got charged twice for purchases the same app twice with the same account contact iTunes again by:

Make sure that they are really the same app first. -
Hello all,
I have used CF for several years now and bought Flex as soon
as it was released. In my process of understanding how Flex handled
Remote objects for CF I decided to use the CF Builder wizard for
Flex that creates all kinds of nice CFC's and stuff for me to
connect to a database and CRUD the data within. Ok all fine and
dandy on the local machine, works great, I am impressed! That is
until I try to upload the app to my Shared Server (HMS) and I get
all kinds of cryptic error messages like:
(mx:rpc:Fault)#0 error id = 0
faultCode ='Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail = "Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed :HTTP:Status 500"
faultString = "Send Failed"
message = "faultCode.Client.Error.MessageSend
faultString:'Send Failed'
faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.CallFailed: HTTP: Status 500" name = "Error"
rootCause = (Object)#1
code = NetConnection.Call.Failed"
description = "HTTP: Status 500"
details = "
http://www.MYDOMIAN.com/flex2gateway/"
level = "error"
So I have read the DOCs and read all the blogs I can find on
the subject but no one can clearly answer as to why I can not make
this work on a Shared Server if I can make it work on my local box,
Heck I can even tap into the MySQL database on the Shared Server
via the Flex builder. I use HostMySite.com with the CF package if
that helps.
If it is just a matter of something on my hosts end I need
them to configure for me that would be nice to know, or if I simply
can't use Flex and CF together on a Shared Server all together.
That would be nice to know. But for all the hype Flex is getting
and how easy it supposed to be to create an app with CF, I am
wondering why someone can not answer this question once and for
all. I know others have posted to this and many other forums asking
the same things I am. Is it too much to ask one of the Flex Gurru's
of Adobe, or anywhere else for that matter to help us out?
Not everyones wants to run their own server and I would think
that Adobe would have kept that in mind when creating Flex, and how
it would run on shared servers.
So please if anyone can help understand this please let me
know.
ThanksHalodev / Peter,
I was JUST about to ask the same question. The problem I was
having was migrating a Flex app created on my local machine,
connecting with my local CF app, to a test (model of production)
server.
I knew the following:
1) The flex app worked as expected
2) The data was not an issue, as I mapped a datasource to my
production DB
My main concern was getting the Flex app to work on the test
server, but my biggest issue was the fact that the setup of my
local and test servers are different. Example, I have a single
instance locally, running off localhost. On my test server, I have
multiple JRUN instances on the D-drive (as opposed to the c-drive,
locally).
From this post, I figured out that I needed to change the
project properties to account for the different location of the
flex-config file. I right clicked on the project and selected
properties, and altered the values in the "Flex Compiler" and "Flex
Server" sections to reflect the TEST server locations of the
flex-config file.
Now, to make life hard on myself, the "d" drive on my laptop
is the CD ROM, and when I tried to enter the path in FB, I got an
error saying that the path was invalid. I looked into partitioning
my drive, but I was warned off it by our tech guy here (besides, it
seemed too much like real work!). SO, I burned a CD with the proper
path, just as a temporary solution.
I re-built the app, and deployed ALL of the files in the
local projects "bin" directory. It worked, eventually, but there
are some questions I have, maybe, Peter, if you read this you could
help.
1) I had trouble with SSL - my test servers use them (as do
the production servers). The SWF started to load but I got a 403
error (that is SSL related, I believe). I'm not sure if that was
when it was loading, or trying to access the CFC. Any thoughts on
this? Are there known SSL issues?
2) The whole "D" drive thing was a pain. As I mentioned, I
have multpile JRUN instances on my Test (and Dev) server - one for
each site. If I created a single generic site on the c-drive, would
all sites that access flex be able to use that flex-config file, or
do they need to access the local file? I'm not really getting how
the flex services-config.xml file relates. Maybe I'll re-read your
posts in this thread.
3) Do I need to copy all the files from the bin directory, or
is that over-kill? What is the bare-minimum code I need to get the
Flex SWF to run? Could I just copy a sub-set of the HTML to a
content management system?
Any help with the above is appreciated.
I'm not sure if I answered the original question, or
contributed positively to this post - I hope I did, and that
someone will find this information useful in the future.
Cheers guys,
David -
Can Someone please tell me how to save movie for email & web?
Can Someone please tell me how to save movie for email & web? I have created a few small videos, (last one was only 3 minutes), and I have tried to save them many different ways, but when I try to send them via email, it takes forever to send and for others to open.
People send me video links all the time, and they never take that long. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
SharonaPeople send me video links all the time, and they never take that long...
Karl is (aside many other things) expert on how-tos and codecs, but one more thing...:
video link:
you have two options for sharing video with the world: you can send the whole file to someone - as an xx MB attachement to a mail...; or, you load up the video to some website (.mac, youtube, whatever...) and send just the link x kB to that site...
asymmetric:
normal "internet accounts" are asymmetrically (A-DSL)... means: you have FAST downloads, but SLOW uploads.... (my socalled 2k-DSL connections offers downloads 20x faster then my uploads, just to give you an impression...)
so, uploading my videos to my website needs easy >30min for a letssay highly compressed 2min project.... the link to it is just >1kB; the download/watching of the movie is almost instant on/realtime....
now, back to Karl, concerning choosing the right codec/compressor... Karl?
i DO love these phrases in news-shows...
