I am sorry to say that you cannot play Blu-ray movies on any Mac. Whether any of us agree or disagree with this, it is the way of things currently. One can rip Blu-ray movies to a Mac, and play them without menus or extras, but this is illegal and it is a violation of the terms of use of these forums to discuss.

The best way to play blu ray discs/movies UP TO DATE

I am a huge TLOTR fan (lol) and up until recently I thought the quality of the movie i have(in digital form) was decent or even great, I recently bought a 15" inch macbook pro(2.2ghz)-- my first apple computer--- and when I played the same exact movie, the quality just looked terrible, in fact every digital movie I own doesn't look as stunning or high quality I thought it was. I'm slowly upgrading my movie library to a better quality one and the first thing I have to have is "the lord of the rings" trilogy(extended version) , so I guess the closest i can get to high picture quality is by buying those blu ray discs, one problem: how do I play blu ray on my macbook pro and will I experience a better quality than those normal DVDs.
According to your experience with blu ray, which is the best way to play blu ray discs on a macbook? ( please provide steps or pointers since I'm new at this)
Also, any alternative suggestions to be able to watch the movie in high quality is welcome, i just thought blu ray was the closest thing to perfect quality. Keep in mind i can't buy from itunes since I don't own a credit card.
TL;DR : I need to play blu ray disc movies on my 15"macbook pro 2011, what's the best way to go about this to get as close to full quality as possible. Also, would it make any difference if I bought blu ray disks versus the conventional DVDs (regarding movie quality)? Since the screen resolution of the 15" pro is not enough to experience "full HD quality"?

Best way to play audio in 24bit 48Khz WAV format?

Hi guys, whats the best way to play audio in 24bit 48Khz WAV format through FF? The format cannot be changed and the files are local. I was hoping the HTML5 audio tag would play it but it seems to be limited to 16bit. Is that correct? Whats the best way to get sound playing quickly?

Which media player plugins do you have?
Plugins like RealPlayer and Windows Media Player and QuickTime should be able to play such files if the player can play them if you open the files directly in the player.
Does it work if you open the file via the location bar?
I only have 16 bit 44kHz files, so can't test, but opening such a file via the location bar works.

What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder via a scheduled job?

What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder, when the export process is a scheduled job?

You can't directly, as scheduled jobs can only export to server-side data stores, which can only write to the landing area. You'll need to use an external script (e.g. batch file) to move the file from the landingarea after export. You can use an external task in the scheduled job to invoke the script.

My PC is Pavilion dv7. When I insert Blue Ray Disc, Blue Screen occures. I install PowereDVD 11.

No error occurs when using DVD and CD-ROM. I could use Blue Ray Disc (any format of Blue Ray Disc including commercial movie disc) three months before (May). I also asking cyberlink in case software problem. Should I attach system error log ?

Thank you for your info. I tryed to update driver to the latest one on device manager, but it says "this is the latest
version". So I delete the DVD/CD-ROM entry from Device Manager, and execute H/W cahnge auto-scan.
Then driver is automatically installed, but the version is still the same (v1.00).
Mnufacturer: standard CD-ROM drive, dated 2006/9/1，version 1.00
Provider: Microsoft
Friendly Name: hp BD MLT UJ240
It seems I can't find correct driver. I can't find URL of manufacturer.
I also installed "sp50287" OS enhancement patch for HP pavilion dv7, which was suggested by HP support
engineer in Japan, but still blue screen occurs, after answering "Yes" at "Do you confirm the update info" menu
at HP Media Smart. I wonder it seems CODEC problem.????

What is best way to clean up startup disc? What apps work?

What is the best way to clean up my startup disc? Are any of the clean up apps trustworthy?

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
http://www.omnigroup.com/more
Also, Find Any File
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Moving iTunes library
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Moving iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Moving iMovie projects folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2289
Things to consider before moving your iPhoto Library Folder to a new or external location like an external hard drive.
If you make movies on any iDevices using iMovie for iOS,, then transfer the video footage, the IOS version of iMovie saves the footage as a movie file in IPhoto for IOS and will automatically get transferred to iPhoto for the Mac when you upload the video from your iDevice.
Newer versions of iMovie will work and link those video files found in your iPhoto Library on your Mac, but those links can be lost if you move your iPhoto library and you will not be able to relink that video afterwards as the current versions of iMovie seem to not have a relink option for the video portion of the files (ironically, current versions of iMovie HAVE the ability to re-link the audio files from the video footage, though (The inability to re-link the video files could be a possible bug or oversight in current versions iMovie).
The lost video links show up as "blacked-out" video blocks with no content.
Before moving the iPhoto Library
If you make movies with iMovie using iPad or iPhone video then 'Consolidate' the files before you finish. This will gather (albeit by duplicating) all the relevant files in the project in one place. After consolidating/duplicating all of the audio and video footage to a seperate, independent location,it should be safe to move your iPhoto library.
The potential way to circumvent this issues maybe to try and import iPad and iPhoto video directly into iMovie which would be another solution.
Good Luck!

What's the best way to play a very short sound?

I'm writing a swing application, I want to play a beep (a very short wav file) every time I press a button. (a bit like the alert sound in windows)
I know there're different ways to play sound. I don't want to use a full-feature sound library because you tend to write more code and it going to use more RAM. I just need a simply way to play the sound.
Any suggestions?

Pardon my untested code, but...here's the basic idea.
/* Global variable */
Clip soundClip = null;
/* Load the clip */
public void load(String file) {
    /* Load the file into the stream */
    File af = new File("test.wav");
    AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(af);
    /* Load the stream into the clip */
    soundClip = AudioSystem.getClip();
    soundClip.open(ais);
/* Play the clip */
public void play() {
    /* Don't play the clip if it hasn't been loaded yet */
    if (soundClip != null) {
        soundClip.setFramePosition(0);
        soundClip.start();
}

Is airport express the best way to play itunes on my stereo on WIRED netwrk

I want to get my itunes to play on my stereo through my wired network. Will aiport express accomplish this?
If it does, is it the best solution to play my itunes on my stereo through a wired network?
I use a windows wired network.
any help is appreciated.
FreshD
Windows XP

I have had this setup for over a year now and it works great. I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo which has a 3 sets of speakers attached to it. My stereo has a set of speakers in the family room, living room and bedroom, each room has its own volume control in the room plus I can turn the speakers on or off from the stereo. This was wired up long before iTunes, since iTunes I no longer use the CD player attached to the stereo. I actually have two Airport Express'. The other one is in my study where my computer is. It is attached to my cable modem via ethernet. I then have a USB laser printer and a pair of powered speakers attached to that Airport Express. I have iTunes set up for multiple speakers, one for the computer, one for the speakers in the study, and one for my stereo with the three sets of speakers attached to it. And it all WORKS GREAT! I can control music from all over my house. I have all my music on an external drive attached to my main computer in my study. I have it set up to share music, so if I am upstairs in my bedroom I can use my laptop to access iTunes. Someday I am going to get another Airport Express and another set of powered speakers and put those in the basement.

Best way to have a button click create a pop-up window with link URL?

Hi everyone,
What is the best way to set a button's click to open a pop-up browser window and take the user to a specific link?
I did a bit of research and it looks like there are many methods and I'm not sure if the posts were older, but many mention that some of the methods are inconsistent with different browsers + get caught in pop-up blockers...
Different methods:
navigationToURL()
window.open()
ExternalInterface.call()
Many thanks,
DK

Just to clarify a bit: The observer pattern is not really used for "simple binding". I mean, if your application is really small, I can't say that it would hurt to implement an observer pattern just that it might be more of an overkill ( but not completely an overkill ). If the stuff you are trying to do is really simple then using simple listeners and dispatchers is fine ( even in more complex situations, events come in really handy ).
So, don't overkill if the application is not aimed to evolve/change and be as flexible as possible. Design patterns are great when they are used correctly and in the correct situation. Just because they solve certain problems well, that doesn't mean that all applications need the complexity and abstraction many patterns bring ( you could build a simple Hello World! app in tons of classes with N patterns but what would be the point? ).
I hope you understand what I mean. Good luck.

Best way to install Panther on Bondi Blue Rev B

The computer is my friend's free Bondi Blue Rev B which is currently running OS 9. I have a retail set of Panther discs and would like to update the OS to Panther for my friend.
The previous owner of the Bondi Blue has requested that her information be completely removed, so I am thinking about doing an Erase and Install.
We have the original system discs, OS 8.5 I believe, what appears to be a copy of an OS 9 disc, and a retail set of Panther discs.
Should I start with the OS 8 discs and then upgrade to Panther? Or should I start out with Panther? I am specifically wondering if I start out with Panther, if I can restore any other bundled software which originally came with the machine.
I gather that no version of iPhoto can be installed on this machine?
My friend will likely just use this computer for email. His other computer is a free iBook G3. Both computers have very elderly hard drives--originals I think--and for this reason I want him to be able to get email on the other computer if the hard drive fails on one of them. My friend is fairly new to computers and to Macs, so for the immediate future his computing needs will mostly be sending and receiving email. I don't think he has any real need for OS 9, but it may be that in the future, he may want to use other applications.
He does have an interest in emailing photos and adding any he receives to his iPhoto library. I assume the iBook will work best for this since it does have iPhoto 2.
Is there an alternate photo application on the Bondi Blue that would allow him to email photos and save any he receives to an iPhoto Library?
Thanks in advance!

First, the iMac requires a firmware (Boot ROM version in System Profiler) update. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 The update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.
Here's the *OS X 10.3 Panther Requirements*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106163
When OS X is installed, it will be located in a folder titled System. OS 9 is currently installed in a folder titled System Folder. Both OSs are collocated & will not interfere with each other. You will be able to boot OS 9, boot Panther & run OS 9 applications in classic mode while booted in Panther.
 Cheers, Tom

Best way to play movies from MacBook Pro to HDTV

I have some hi-res 1080p movies on my MacBook Pro which currently runs Lion 10.7.4. Planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion but my hardware will not support Airplay Mirorring (it's a mid 2009). I will soon be buying an iPad 3rd generation also which of course does do Airplay to an HDTV. Somehow can I get the material off the MacBook Pro directly to the HDTV though maybe the new iPad or even an Apple TV? I will be running the audio through an external stereo receiver/speakers, so just concerned with the video. Also had read that my model of MacBook Pro only supports video from the minidisplay port to HDMI.
Best solutions? I may get an Apple Tv if necessary or anything within reasonable cost including any programs for the Mac or iPad.
Oh NOTE: My movies are just avi or mkv files and NOT in iTunes.

I believe you can do Back up to Disc and burn them as Data Discs. (Be sure to check your burning preferences first.) You won't be able to view them from the burned discs, but you can use them to restore to your library. Burning the movie itself....I doubt you can get it to fit on one CD. Another option would be to invest in an external drive. I hear they're pretty affordable.

Best way for play all function

i am making a dvd with 30+ three minute clips. they will be split up into different catagories. so each menu will have about 4-5 clips with seperate play buttons, and their end jump target will be the corresponding menu. i want to make a play all button without laying all clips on another track and setting that target. do i have use a script to do this, or is there another way to go about it.
thanks in advance

There are two basic approaches to creating a play all situation - the first uses stories and the second uses scripts. If you use stories then there are two approaches to that - first off, you can make a story for each individual clip so that you can play just that one clip and then go back to the menu. If you do this then the play all will be a button that points to the actual track. The markers in the track must not have jumps - the story containers will need an end jump and menu call setting though.
The second method using stories is to place end jumps on the individual markers to go back to the right menu. You can then add a single story and place ALL markers in that. This single story becomes your 'play all'. If you do put end jumps on the markers then you limit the possibilities for navigation, unless you then set the end jump to go to a script to evaluate where to go on from there.
In both cases all of the clips are in a single track. You can mix and match chapters in stories as you wish, placing groups of markers together in a story so that only that group plays through... think of a story as a play list and you will get the idea - add the markers that you want to play through, and away you go.
If you want to set this up with scripts then there are several possibilities. However, unless you have all of the clips as separate tracks then there really is no need to script it at all - stories should give you all that you need. You might use a script or two to get the navigation better, but with careful planning you won't even need this.

Best way to play Audio only on a DVD with video?

I have a Meditavie DVD i am making with both video and Audio combined....and i want to make some tracks that are just Audio only
for close eye Meditations. ( i dont want to have to add a CD with the DVD for just Audio)
I made one years ago and just used black as the video output track.
Is there a way to save space and just have the audio track play?
And if so how might i do it and also link to the DVD menu?
Thanks for any help!
Soshman

Below is what I wrong before I tested the obvious. Just "import as timeline" the audio only (make sure there is no m2v with the same name); Encore happily builds a disk with black. Mediinfo shows the video stream, but it appears to be at a very low datarate. So, give it a try. I did not burn a disk; just build to a folder and used a software player.
Other options: Encore slideshows have odd problems, I'd play with making a single slide (just black, right?) slideshow, maybe set to manual advance with no advance - or a very long duration to match the audio length.
If an m2v works better for whatever reason, Encore has a minimum bitrate, I think around 2.x or 1.x. So I would try exporting from Premiere,10 seconds of black video using CBR 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and see if it matters.
