Best way to send Imovie to idvd?

OK just finished my Imovie, added chapter markers, but I am getting different info on ways to send movie to IDVD in 2 different books. Do I open idvd and import my imovie file (which is saved on my external hard drive) into idvd? also if i import this saved file does it import a copy of the movie from the external or is it the original and only file? I don't want to lose this only copy on my external Hdrive. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Here's a few ways I use:
You can also drag & drop the QT movie directly into iDVD if you prefer. Hope this is helpful and good luck.

Best way to export imovie slideshow to idvd?

I've built an 8 min. slide show in imovie with transitions between stills and music too.
What is the best way to get it into idvd to watch on regular tv. I want a good quality. It looks great on my computer in imovie, how do i finish the final step?
I am using Leopard and imovie '09.
Under the SHARE menu I see a few export options and am not sure which one to use?
Thanks

My advice would be to do some trial runs. I have used the process AppleMan suggested with good success. I have also saved from iDVD as a disc image and created a DVD by burning using disk utility. That process yields a good final product too. Currently, I am working on a project that is about 6 minutes long including still photos, music, sound effects and titles. I did a test by exporting the slideshow movie to the desktop, opening iDVD and dropping it in and burning from there. Of all the methods I have tried, that one has given me the sharpest, brightest images. So for now, that is the process I am using. Good luck.

Best way to burn iMovies to DVD

I am looking for advice on the best way to get iMovies onto DVD. I have spent a lot of time reviewing discussions & answers already posted... probably too long as I am not getting anywhere!
I have built a movie in Movie 11 from AVCHD files (1080i) shot on a cannon SD card camera. This has been shared as a Large movie to me Apple TV1.. looks great.
I then shared the project to iDVD. The DVD produced was very poor. 'Jaggies' is a description I have seen in the discussions. Static horizontal lines are broken up & appear to move. I also included a pile of photos on the DVD as a slideshow. Just dropped in 100 high res Jpegs. Again, these appeared as very poor quality.
Exactly the same quality when using DVD+, DVD-, Memorex or Sony (now trying Verbatim).
I have tried dropping the movie into iDVD from Finder rather than sharing from iMovie. Same quality issue.
If I play the movie on my mac straight from Finder... it looks great. If I import it into iDVD (by sharing from iMovie or dropping in the file from media browser, you can see on the preview the jaggies are back
I created a disk image of the movie & burned to DVD... disk wouldn't play in the DVD player..
So, the question. What is the best way to get a movie produced in iMovie onto a DVD in terms of image quality. Have I missed a step in burning the disk image to a DVD?
Ideally, I don't want to use third party Apps. I have downloaded the trial of FCP. Will this handle everything in terms of movie production including DVD burn? I don't want to spend this sort of money, but if needs must..
Really grateful for any help & sorry for asking the largely the same question again!

Hi
Fully understands Your dilemma - BUT
• iMovie'08 to 11 - Can not deliver 100% full quality over to iDVD or any DVD authoring program as they all discard every second line in the picture when going from Event's to Project's. NO medicine known to me to heal this.
I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - as they can deliver 100% - interlaced SD-Video
• Video-DVD is as standard only - interlaced SD-Video and can never be any better
I created a disk image of the movie & burned to DVD... disk wouldn't play in the DVD player..
• You must use - Disk Util tool - to do this burn from .img file right ! Else the structure on Your DVD will not be a Video-DVD but a Data-DVD and as this it will NOT play back on any DVD-player.
I have downloaded the trial of FCP. Will this handle everything in terms of movie production including DVD burn?
• Yes - but not in as elegant form as iDVD are able to produce. But I'm told that the full 100% interlaced SD-Video quality is transferred over and used - so Your MOVIE will look as good as it's possibly. FOR FULL information and clever thoughts about this - ASK IN - FinalCut Pro-X forum - they know - I go on hear-say.

Best way to send printer control codes?

What's the best way to send printer control codes in Netware 3.12? Should I
use a batch file that's run each time a particular queue is selected, or is
there something I should be doing with a pconsole option? I'm trying to get
rid of extra linefeeds and enable compressed printing. DOS environment, by
the way.
The printer in question is an Ithaca Pcos Series 50 ( #52 pn-06-0629), which
isn't one of the standard ones listed in Pconsole etc. It may emulate a
standard IBM though.
Thanks-

Never mind, I'm in a habit of answering my own posts these days. Just create
a job configuration in printcon that uses a device with the appropriate
device modes.
Is it just me, or is Netware queue-based printing a bit on the obtuse side?
Seems like it could have been made a whole lot easier (more linear?) to set
up.

Best way to send multiple emails

Hi,
what is the best way to send different emails in batches in one
smtp session? Lets say 50 emails in one smtp session.
Is the smtp session closed after I call Transport.send() ?
In general I can not find a hint when a smtp session gets established and when
the session gets closed.
Thank you for any suggestions,

Best Way to send data from InfoProvider to DBTable

Hi all,
I need some advices on this subject :
I want to send some data, stocked in several InfoCubes, to a table.
This cubes are linked by a multicube (for queries).
I don't know the best way to send the data in a table :
- Use Open hub on each cube to send data
- Use ABAP code for extract data directly from MultiCube (possible?)
- Use open hub on multiprovider (I think it's not possible to plug a open hub to the Multiprovider...)
What is the best practice on that?
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Adrien.

Oh yes, my mistake.
I didn't think abuot the APD solution.
I think it should be a good one...
With the ABAP, it seems very difficult indeed.
I'm gonna check this way ! Thanks for your help Daniel !
And except the licence cost, the Open hub should be a good solution??

Whats the best way of sending files ?

whats the best way of sending files (mp3's) to another computer over the internet, been doing it over msn, but takes a while, is there any other way?

Have you thought of using an intermediary file server, e.g. yousendit.com, rapidshare.de, etc? Alternatively, you could do it the computer-to-computer route by enabling either 'Remote Login' or 'FTP Access' (Sharing preference pane) on one and connecting with the other.
As an aside, what you're doing isn't illegal, is it? Pardon my bluntness.

Best way of sending signals between two VIs

Hello all,
I have two VIs. One that generate some complicated signals (sine wave, impulse, etc.). The other one takes manually inputted voltage and pressure send them out to some hardware with a pump, and reads back the output of the pump.
What is the best way of sending the waveforms from the signal VI to the manual control VI? I still need to be able to control the signals manually in that manual control VI.
Thanks.
Solved!

For exactly this kind of process, I am using queues, FG and (relax ppl, I know..) global variables. If you are writting a global in one Vi and reading it in another (to prevent accidental (fake)updating); globals are easy to implement. Many people hate them (I do, sometimes) but for these kind of cases I think they are well adapted.
For FG you need a user control and a vi for each variable you want to share... Both FG and globals are "bottle in the ocean" like of information : you send some info and sometimes this info will arrive somewhere...
If you need to be sure that the info is passed then Queues are to be used...
N
While you may not run into race conditions using global variables in a write once/read many approach they do not protect you from some part of your application deciding to write to them. FG at least provide some level of protecting access while globals do not. In addition, global variables can create multiple copies of your data. If your data is large, this can be problematic. I much prefered using a defined messaging scheme. The intent is very clear and you can provide safe guards. Even FGs are better. I personally would never recommend the use of global variables even though some cases MAY work out. A defined API is always a prefered approach and helps to keep the code modular and decoupled. This leads to greater reuse. Global variables tie things together and make reuse more difficult.

Best way to send a text to a number in Australia?

So I have a BBRY BOLD, and the basic phone through Verizon and unlimited data plan through Blackberry. Naturally, I never elected the world plan, because I didn't think I needed it. But I now have a friend from Tasmania, and would like to know the best way to send her a text message without incurring additional charges, and without having to add additional services. I have her Tasmanian Mobile number, but not her email, so I cannot email her. Suggestions?

I don't suppose she has a BlackBerry, does she? If she did, you could BBM to your heart's content for free.
Otherwise, here's a link that explains rates and plan options:

Best way to send Christmas cards by email?

Based on other comments I've seen on these forums I advised my work this week that they should send their Christmas card email by creating it in iWeb and then sending it as an HTML message by choosing "File > Mail Contents of This Page" in Safari.
The problem is the Director just called to say that one of our clients said all he could see was the text.
Any idea what has gone wrong here? And what do people recommend as the best way to send Christmas card emails?

Not every mail client is able to or setup to view HTML content in web pages. JBK's suggestion is a sure fire way to get the content of the card so that any client or platform can view it (unless they have display of image content turned off and they have to download the image file and open with an appropriate application).

Best way to save iMovie Projects

I am using iMovieHD and have about 50 hours of video to import and then to save. I recently bought a LaCie 250G hard drive. I do not know the best way to save these movies which I have imported and edited but since they are in effect out family treasury I would like a good quality. I can al;ways make new iDVDs from the edited iMovie so assume I will not need to save the iDVD projects. Any recommendations?

Hi Hunting,
"Quciktime" is not a format nor a compression method; QT is "just" a socalled container or warpper, containing many media formats (the .mov suffix is irritating people...), have a look here for an overview how many formats 6 codecs are a "Quicktime" file...
... mpeg4 is just one of them...
to answer your question:
that depends MUCH on, what you want to do later with your stored movies:
* dv is highest possible quality with iM files - but: 1h = ~12Gb !!
* mpeg4 my personal favorite, good pic quality, small file size BUT! as any mpeg-"flavor", it is a lossy compression codec...- in case, you plan to make in two years a nice dvd, that lossy mpeg4 has to be converted into mpeg2 (another lossys format) ...
there are some dvd-standalone player on the market, able to playback ISO-conform mpeg4 files (not in a .mov container, but as .mp4....)
* in case, you want re-edit, you need to store the iM-projects...
* the new h.264 is a fanstatstic codec, but too new, as: you need fast Macs for playback and warp-fast Mac for encoding...
summary/recommendation:
hd drives prices drop; I would store in .dv, three times bigger as a dvd (tento 20 times bigger then a mpeg4...) but best format for "post processing" (edits, dvd burns, website compression, switching to mpeg4, h.264....)
to add some silly ToolTime idea (call me Tim, I'm using it, short in money):
just for storage, you can buy 3,4,5 drives plus ONE empty fw-case; it is very easy to build a drive inside such case (two multi-pin cables); transfer files; build second hd into case... you just store the hds... looks silly, but works important: write onto some paper, what's on that drives...
