When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger.  This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs.  How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger.  This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs.  How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?  Is there any other ways of achieving this?

Thanks.  I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players).  It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe.  Would you please show me the way?
The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter.  What is the RF no. (under Constant Quality) meant?  It seems that the smaller the no. is, the better quality will be.  What is the optimal no.? or should we use the Average Bitrate? Again, what is the best rate?  Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur?  I have read Photoshop.  Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.
And maybe another forum member will jump in and help us here!

    How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells?  In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly.  When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up.  How can I do this?
    For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
    If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted...  How can I do this without distorting the formula?

    Thanks for the feedback.
    If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because  a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
    As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
    CAUTION
    Download them while they are available.
    Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
    Searching infos in the  iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
    It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

  • I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).
    How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original password?

  • HT4972 I have ipad version 4.3.2.  I have music on there that I want to keep.  when I go to itunes i cannot backup those music.  how can i update to ios 7 without losing the music?

    I have ipad version 4.3.2 and I want to update to ios7.  However, I cannot backup my musics on itune.  How can I update without losing my musics?

    Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.

  • Rt / how can a fpga-bitfile be exchanged without recompile the rtexe?

    Hello to all,
    maybe someone of you knows the trick:
    my program have two parts, one is running on RT-OS (LabView RT/PharLap) the other part is on a FPGA. For programming I'm using LV 8.5.1.
    In the VI (on RT) which calls the FPGA, is a static path-reference on the bitfile. Idea of this was that the bitfile is dynamically loaded by every start of the RT and when there are bugfixes to do in the FPGA-code, then this could be done with an simple exchange of the bitfile (which I can send to the customer and he replaces then byself the file per FTP).
    In fact replacing of the bitfile does not have any effect, it seems that the bitfile is integrated in the RTexe and so cannot be exchanged on harddisk. Only way to replace the bitfile seems to recompile the RTexe with the new bitfile.
    Does anyone knows how this can be solved? Or is there no way to do so that a bitfile is loaded at runtime (as a file and not integrated in RTexe)?
    Or is this maybe because the VI which calls the bitfile, is forced to be part of the compiled RTexe (build options)?
    Greets,
    Lars

    Hi Lars,
    as far as I know there are 2 ways to dynamically download a bitfile to an FPGA
    device.
    1. Using the NI-RIO driver (available at: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/993/lang/en)
    When you install the NI-RIO driver, the RIO Device Setup utility is installed,
    which allows you to download bitfiles to the flash memory of your FPGA device.
    After that when the device is reset or powerup, the device itself can load and
    start this new bitfile. Just make sure that the option "Autoload VI on
    device powerup" or "Autoload VI on device reboot" is set
    accordingly under Device Settings in the RIO Device Setup utility. Change
    these options of the device so that the bitfile is loaded on a reset or power
    loss, then reset or cycle the power for the device.
    2. Using the FPGA Target System Replication utility as discussed under: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6465
    With the help of the VIs included in this utility (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/AF4FF0C65AF31B4348257337006A144A?OpenDocument) you can basically set the same options and select a bitfile similar to the RIO
    Device Setup utility of the NIO-RIO driver. Similar to the RIO Device Setup
    utility you can download your bitfile to the flash memory of your FPGA and then
    reset or power cycle your device.
    I hope this information helps you.
    Best regards,
    Balazs

    You can use the result array collection now inside your program for any further changes / manipulations.

    Hi, yeah this helps,
    however, how would i generate a result handler for a service that has not been called yet? Sorry my knowledge of services is very limited.
    This is a php service, get_all service that returns all the rows from a mysql table.
    I can see the service box with the service i want to use:
    but how do i pass that to a result handler?

  • How can i unlock an apple id without knowing the emailaddres?

    I bought an ipad from someone who has forgotten his email adres. He doesn't react at all to me.
    Now i have the problem that i can't go in my ipad.
    Because i need to have his icloud acces to turn of ''find my ipad''
    How can i turn his Apple ID into mine without using his account?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it. If the person you bought it from refuses to assist you can bet that person obtained the iPad illegally.

  • How can i look at earlier messages without hitting the load button a bunch of times??

    is there any way to view earlier messages from months ago without hitting the load button over and over to get to them??

    You need to turn on Photo Stream in iPhoto on your laptop to view the last 30 days of photos.
    The rest of your camera roll can't be viewed but can be restored when you get the device back.

  • Aside from Wake on LAN, how can I turn on my S10 without pressing the Power Button?

    Hi,
    FIrst of all I have not tried Wake on LAN on this S10 of mine, yet.  I don't even know if it will work or not. 
    Anyway, this is my main concern.  I'm planning to mount my S10 on the back of my monitor, I'll be putting a wire mesh kinda box that will hold it.  I will then hook the VGA monitor/audio cables to my S10.  I'll also be hooking my wireless Keyboard so it will look clean as possible.  With this setup, of course, the LCD lid will be closed and I'm thinking of ways on how to turn it on with the Lid closed.  I'm currently finding ways on how to do this?  I was hoping NOT to go to the rear of my monitor >> lift the S10 from the mesh box >> press the power button >> close the lid >> place it back to the mesh box mount.
    The wireless keyboard has a power on option (I have Logitech MK300) but does NOT work.  Would a Wired USB keyboard work?
    Fortunately, I have a deskop computer (which has its own monitor) that will sit beside my S10/Monitor.  The two computers (Desktop and S10) will run independently.
    What do you think guys?  What options can I go with?  Is my only hope Wake On LAN?  Oh yeah, it is even possible with the S10?
    Maybe there is a USB device or a hack that can be done (not voiding the warranty)?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, I just noticed it   So does this mean I can't wake my S10 thru LAN right?  Anyway, do you have any suggestions?  I'm looking for a Docking Station, but I can't find any.   Can a USB replicator turn this on?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

  • How can I get URL forwarding working without touching the obj.conf

    It won't work right after it is set up from the Admin server. I have to manually edit the obj.conf so that the [NameTrans fn="redirect"] lines are ahead of any other lines NameTrans lines. Why the Admin server cannot do this when adding the "redirect" lines to obj.conf, or did I miss anything when I config the URL forwarding?
    SunOne WebServer6.1 SP4

    This is a full copy of the obj.conf file, right after I set up a URL Forwarding. The URL Forwarding is added as the 3rd [NameTrans] line. I have to manually move it as the 1st [AuthTrans] line, else it won't work.

  • How can I start up my macbook without using the power button ?

    Hi guys,
    I think my macbook's keyboard/trackpad/power have died. I was wondering if there's anyway to start up my macbook without the power button, I was thinking about an external keyboard that would hae a power button on it, I don't know ...
    I have not used my Macbook for the past 4 days and i think it's making me sick ...
    Thanks !

    hey,
    So i bought a G3 keyboard with the power button and i just received it but my macbook still doesn't want to start up.
    It's pretty strange because my macbook was still running when the top case died and I had to unplug it cause i couldn't shut it down so I was sure that buying this keyboard would make it work but it doesn't. I am wondering if it could be from the power button that would be died cause when i push it, it doesn't feel like the one on my macbook . It's pretty hard to explain but could someone tell my how it supposed to be when i push the power button . On my keyboard it just goes down and goes up without doing anything...
    I'm pretty sad cause I haven't used my macbook for weeks and i'm started thinking it will never start up again ...
    Thanks
