Best Quality vs Best Performance - I don't understand why

This is a serious question - why does iDVD bother to offer you a choice between "Best Quality" (BQ) and "Best Performance" (BP)?
First, these names are confusing (really, you could switch them and you'd be none the wiser as what they are telling you).
Second, if your project is longer than 60 mins, then iDVD will tell you to switch the preference to "Best Quality" if you've got it set to the other. Hence, there is no choice, and the preference serves no purpose. iDVD should simply change the preference for you as it is annoying to have to open the prefs pane to change it.
Third, if your project is shorter than 60 mins, the consensus of other threads on this topic is that no-one can tell the difference between between BQ and BP, since the VBR of BQ is never higher than the CBR of BP. So again, the choice seems pointless, apart from enabling background encoding.
So my proposal is: iDVD should bin this essentially meaningless and confusingly worded preference, and instead have a single check box "Enable background encoding, if possible" (ie, your project is shorter than 60 mins).
You know it makes sense.

Ah, well yes I know how to feedback suggestions to Apple. My question here was - am I missing anything in suggesting they get rid of it? No point making a suggestion if I am inadequately informed, or no-one agrees it is a good idea.
Seems like the answer is no-one disagrees, and so I will make the suggestion.

Why is this an error??? I don't understand why it is... Help Please

Hi,
Ok, I'll preface this by saying there's a lotta code pasted in here but it really quite an easy question, I just need to post all the code so you understand where what came from.
Now.............the question I'm trying to do is to create an applet that has 2 buttons -- each button when clicked opens an application (one is a simple calculator, the other a Mortgage calculation app). When you click one of the buttons (calc or mortgage), that app opens infront of the 2 button menu so its in "focus". The button on the 2 button menu then switches to a "hide app X" button (ie: "Mortgage", changes to "Hide Mortgage"). Thus if you click the hide button, the app that was opened is hidden, and then that "hide" button switches back to the original "app X" button. Pretty simple.
Now, I have from my text book an example that does exactly this, with the simple calculator already in it, and with another app (a traffic light thing) where the Mortgage should be in my final product. I also already have the Mortgage applet I need to insert from another book example in place of that Traffic Light portion.
Now, common sense would dictate that I should be able to just copy my code for the Mortgage applet into the example that has the 2 button menu structure, and overwrite the code I want to get rid of (the traffic light) with the mortgage code & rename the menu buttons. Right?? A simple switch of one thing for another... but therein lies my problem.
I copied all the Mortgage code in correctly over the traffic lights, switched the button names, tried to compile it but I get one error....
Exercise12_17.java:52: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method pack ()
location: class MortgageApplet
        mortgageAppletFrame.pack();I don't understand why..... mortgageAppletFrame.pack(); was a simple rewrite from lightsFrame.pack(); like every other line...... it should work. I've gone over it for 2 days......... Anyone know why it comes up as an error???
Below, in order going down is (1)my code with the 1 error I can't solve, (2)the original menu example I tried to edit, and (3)the Mortgage app code...........
Does anyone know what my error is?? Help or a hint would be greatly appreciated........ Thanks.

Does it have to be an applet?
If you want the same behaviour as in the code with traffic lights, change
class MortgageApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
to
class MortgageApplet extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
and change
public void init() {
to
public MortgageApplet() {

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

From what I understand RAW photos are supposed to open in raw in photoshop CC. I don't understand why my RAW photos don't open in RAW in photoshop CC or Lightroom 5

From what I understand RAW photos are supposed to open in raw in photoshop CC. I don't understand why my RAW photos don't open in RAW in photoshop CC or Lightroom 5

Has the behavior changed compared to how it used to open ? If so, do you refer to the Camera RAW window similar to this: http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/78000/78026/adobe-camera-raw-22.jpg
What is the file extension of your photos ?
In Lightroom, there is no special way of opening a RAW file vs. JPEG. They all open the same. What is the Lightroom behavior ? Can you post a screenshot ?

My iPod touch bluetooth cannot discover my iPad nor mac air, but it can discover other devices... I don't understand why. My Mac and my iPad can't discover it, as well...

Thanks for this... I actually wanted to pair my iPad with my iPod touch so I can use the keynote remote app in my iPod touch to control my keynote presentations... I was able to control my presentations through wifi... I wanted to use the bluetooth since internet connection is quite slow.. The app tells me I can connect through bluetooth with my iPad but sadly, it can't... I've been trying to pair them but the can't discover each other... :(

I have done the softer update and now this system request a connection with a meanie HD and I connector for iTunes I don't understand why ?

I have done the softer update and now this system request a connection with a Mini HDMI connector for iTunes I don't understand why ?
DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE MINI HDMI CONNECTOR TO COMPLETE THE SOFTER UPDATE PROCESS ?

You might be seeing a Micro USB cable (Not HDMI) that is because your Apple Tv is in Recovery Mode due to some reason and it needs to be Restored by connecting it to iTunes on your Computer. So if you have a Micro USB cable ( which comes with Android Smart Phones ) then try to connect your Apple Tv to your computer using the same and with the help of iTunes Restore your Apple Tv to Factory Settings. Go through the below Apple Support kb which says " If your Apple TV still does not respond or if you were unable to follow the above steps "

HT6312 I don't understand why you are holding our documents captive!

How can you NOT make it backwards compatible! I prefer not to install the latest IOS (as we've seen what happens, with the last IOS update) before I am comfortable with the update. This is irresponsible and not customer friendly. Basically I am S.O.L. if I have an older iPhone or iPad. Thanks for being so customer friendly.

James,
Sorry I did not realize it was User to User. Very funny, really. Who would you like the check made out to? LOL
So I went to login to iCloud (on my PC) and I was forced to update to a different version of iCloud that would no longer allow any devices below IOS 8 access to the Pages area. I just don't understand why thy (Apple developers) cannot make it backwards compatible.

I don't understand why appear new decimals.

Hi Jorge,
Instead of using
Data.SetValue(FormatDouble.DecodeDouble(self.PKg));
use
Data.SetValue(FormatDouble.DecodeDecimal(self.PKg,Data.Scale)); //
This will take the second parameter of scale
You will see the desired results.
Thks,
Sanjay

Subject: Re: (forte-users) I don't understand why appear new
decimals.
Simply put, the problem stems from the fact that
floating-point arithmetic is inherently imprecise.
Rounding errors are common.
With doubles, you get 16 digits of accuracy. Beyond
that there is no guarantee.
