Bluray and DVD darker and more chroma than same sequence done on PC???

First, I have a HDV 1080i60 sequence done in FCP 7. I export a quicktime and create MPEG 2 Bluray files in Compressor and create a bluray disc with Encore CS4 on the Mac.
Second, my client is uses a PC based Matrox Axio edit system, and part of our procedure is for me to make him a XDCAM .mxf file, so he can import the video into his Axio without any rendering. He makes a Bluray out of his system from that file.
When we compare the two Bluray discs, mine is darker and has more chroma than his disc, plus my bluray is darker and has more chroma than my timeline output to my ntsc monitor. All the monitoring is the same, so it's not a monitor issue. I have seen some issue with Gamma, etc. I just need to correct the problem, so my client doesn't quite using me for his extra post house.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
John

What would cause the difference now?
Different platforms, different edit systems, different exports, different encoders. Who knows?
Without checking the two images by using calibrated monitors and scopes through both edit, compress and burn processes, it's hard to tell where the changes happen.
The simple solution is to decide which one you like then alter the other file so that it matches. It may take a number of passes to make the adjustments. It's either that or fully monitor the project on both your and your client's edit stations.
Good luck,

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

Is DVD Studio Pro More Reliable Than iDVD?

Is DVD Studio Pro more reliable than iDVD?
Because my needs are simple, I thought I'd just use iDVD to burn DVDs. I created a movie in Final Cut Express, exported it as a Quicktime movie with chapter markers, and created an iDVD project around it. The iDVD project recognizes the chapter markers and it all plays just fine from within iDVD, but I haven't been able to successfully burn a DVD of the project.
The video is a little over an hour long. When I start the burn process a box tells me that it will take something like 3 hours and 45 minutes, and the clock starts ticking down. Fine. Then somewhere around two hours later, iDVD quits and I get a message saying only that iDVD "quit unexpectedly." (As if I didn't know that.) The same thing happens when I try to save as a disc image instead of burning directly to a DVD. I've got plenty of hard disk space, have repaired permissions, etc.
This leaves me wondering whether DVD Studio Pro might be a more robust program. This is a very simple project -- one video, 13 chapters -- so it's very disappointing that iDVD can't seem to deal with it.
So -- is there any general consensus about how DVD Studio Pro compares to iDVD in terms of stability and reliability?

I do not think there is a clear answer on that one. I use both and find iDVD has less issues than DVD SP (not that DVD SP has a ton of issues, but enough that eventually you will probably run into something that will throw things off and will need to know the workaround.)
If you look at the boards you will see people that have problems with both applications. Not that either one is bad, but since boards are designed to help with issues, it is rare that you get someone saying "Wow this has been rock solid for a year" so it is always a grain of salt.
DVD SP does give you more control over things, but by the same token it may not be the application you need. In other words since it is now part of the Final Cut Studio you would need to take a look at the Studio and see if it is something you want. The iApps overall, IMHO, do quite alot for many things and I use them often depending on what I am trying to do. Your project should work it sounds like and there may be something going on (well yes there is of course) You may want to take a quick look at these threads where people have quit issues with iDVD and see if any of the details in th workflow, computer etc are similar and if there are solutions.

Compare Bluray and Dvd Chapters and Scrolling still text

Question 1:
Using PremierePro CS5 to set some Encore-Markers and DynamicLink to Encore to create menu:
Using the same project, the behaviour is quite different:
for Dvd : Encore-markers behave like Chapters, so I can use the player remote control to go to next chapter (even it is not defined in the menu)
that is very handly function.
for Bluray : Encore-markes behave like Titles and not Chapters, so I cannot use the player remote control to jump to next Encore-markers
I just looking for references to understand and do the correct ajustments.
Thanks
tt
Question 2:
Using PremierePro CS5 to add a still picture and scroll it up in slow motion:
Using the same project, I understand that Bluray is far better than DVD:
for Bluray : the scrolling of the still picture is smooth (it's very pleasant with texts too)
for Dvd : the scrolling is jumpy (texts are dizzy and not readable)
Is there any fix for that (.....something like PremierePro option to smooth it out a little (result little burry) or ... something like ...deinterlacing ?)
Thanks
tt

POINT 1:
I will skip DynamicLink for circumventing some issues for sure, but it is so handy and makes me lazy to do things fast.
So far I am using DynamicLink for updating still images in menu with Photoshop and it's working fine.
Also I have tried sucessfully modifying some assets using AfterEffect. Yes, there are ressources demanding since I have a skinny 12 Gigs RAM.
POINT 2:
I have to be more specific in comparing Encore-Bluray and Encore-Dvd (I am not comparing HD with SD).
I just want to see the big picture comparison (equivalent between Encore-Bluray and Encore-Dvd) instead of "TRY-AND-SEE"
Let me explain:
1. Encore-Marker set in PremierePro-CS5 is consider as Chapter in Encore-Dvd)
2. The final DVD created: I can use the remote control to jump to next Chapter even the Chapter is not referenced anywhere in Encore-Dvd
3. Encore-Marker set in PremierePro-CS5 is consider as Title in Encore-Bluray) (the same Encore-Marker)
4. The final Bluray created: I cannot use the remote to jump because there is only one Chapters but many Titles.
When I am on the last step, of Encore-CS5-Build-Dvd or Encore-CS5-Build-Bluray, i expect to get the same result when playing the Bluray of Dvd
with the Player (Home DVD Player or Home Bluray Player and absolutely no PC )
WHAT ELSE IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN THOSE TWO FORMATS? for the same project in ENCORE-CS5
(I need that information to explain to the end users)
for now, I just try-and-see and take notes.

My iPod 5th gen is no longer charging. I've cleaned out lint, switched chargers, and reset the device more times than I can count. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it, or if it's a lost cause.

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen for a little over 2 years now. a few weeks ago, I went to plug my iPod into the charger. After about 20 minutes I went to go get it so I could reply to texts and clear some notifications and I noticed that it was still at 20%. So I tried a different cord, different outlet, cleaned out any lint that might be in there, and reset the iPod more than once. Nothing worked. Eventually the problem corrected itself. But then it happened again a few days later. And then it happened just recently, and now it's happening again. In total it's happened 4 times, the first 3 times its corrected itself, but this time it's not. I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do, or if it's just a lost cause.

"Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

Hello all,
I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
Help, please!

iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

Channels 2 and 3 100 times more sensitive than 0 and 1

I am using a PCI-6052e device with a SCXI 1000 chassie. The module is a SCXI 1121 with a SCXI 1321 terminal block.
I am using differential voltage. On the PCI device test using a DC power supply, I have good agreement between channels 0,1 and the indicator on the power supply. However, channels 2 and 3 show about 100 times more voltage than is applied. (ie .05volts on the power supply = 5 volts on channels 2 and 3)
what could possibly be going on? They should be identical.

There could be a few different things that may be happening. You mentioned that it is reading 5V. Is there a linear relationship between the input and what you read? For example if you increase the power supply to 0.07V does it read 7V or does it stay around 5V. If it reads 7V, make sure that you don't have any scales configured in the software when you read. Also check the gain jumpers on the module to see what configuration they are in. You can read more about the jumpers in the users manual on page 24.
SCXI-1121 Users Manual
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320426c.pdf
If the voltage doesn't change much it might be floating and not have a good connection to your power supply. In this case double check your pinouts and make sure you have the correct channels connected and that the terminal block is properly connected to the module with no bent pins. If you are still having issues, what behavior are you seeing on the other channels? Are they reading correctly or being multiplied?
Have a great day,
Brian P.

Basic DVD Help Needed - More challenging than expected

Need help creating a basic DVD that a client needs. Here are the specs needed for the DVD:
No Menu
No Chapters
Can scrub forward and backward
Begins in DVD player in a stopped state
I can not seem to find an option to remove chapter 1 from the V1 timeline in DVD Studio Pro. Also when DVD is inserted into DVD player the video begins playing right away instead of beginning in a "stopped state" on the DVD player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make a black menu with a invisible button and link it to your track.
as for the chapter 1 - you can't get rid of this and is a good thing to have for what your trying to achieve anyways. That way the user can either hit play to start the video or they can hit chapter and it will play as well.
If you don't want them to be able to push anything other than play on their remote you can disable buttons.

Converting my music and DVD (films and TV shows) from a hard copy to a digital (iTunes)

Hi all,
I am currently clearing out all my stuff and much of it is old CD's and DVD's. I would much rather have it all within my iTunes so that I can download it and watch it whenever I please via iCloud using my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV, rather than loads of CD's and DVD's cluttering my house! I have subscribed to iTunes Match.
The only thing I have encountered so far is regarding some of my DVD boxsets, notably my Doctor Who series. On iTunes (on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch), there is a message saying 'The HD version of this will be downloaded to this device and the SD version will be available for download on your Purchased page.'. Does this mean that if I bought the HD version, I won't be able to download it via iCloud.
Hope someone can share their experiences!
Note: I am based in the UK if that information is of any use.

You can make a data DVD as back up, but you cannot make a DVD that you can play on a DVD player.

Software for mac to print CD and DVD cases and inserts

I have a powermac/tiger OS X and want to print up CD and DVD sleeves/covers and inserts but i have looked on the web for software that would enable me to do this with my mac and operating system but can not find anything.Does anyone know of any software i could purchase to enable me to do this with my mac ?
thanks
rich

There are several applications that will do that. A couple that are specific are Discus, from Magic Mouse software, and DiscLabel from SmileOnMyMac. A version fo Discus comes with Toast, from Roxio, which is an application that offers advanced disk burning options. I got DiscLabel after getting a LightScribe drive, since it supports that. Both of these will label disks, as well as making covers and inserts.
Actually, any good paint application will print up the covers and inserts, but these applications will size them automatically. With less specific applications, you will need to do your own layout.

When will there be fix for AirPrint in Yosemite? I cannot use my HP printer. I have uninstalled/resinstalled everything you can think of. I have deleted and added my printer more time than I can count. I have checked for updates. Nothing has worked.

When will there be fix for AirPrint? Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot print from my MacBook Air which I use mostly. (I can print from the my old 2005 G5 desktop and iPad2 just fine on the same network.) I could print just fine when I had Mavericks. I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun: resetting print system, deleting and adding the printer, checking for updates, uninstalling and reinstalling printer software and folders, turning off modem, router etc. NOTHING works.
The laptop shows that it is printing but nothing happens. Then it says it cannot locate the printer or there is a broken pipe. But it does tell me that I have a low level in one of the ink cartridges (which is true.)
Help! I have warned everyone I know not to upgrade. Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?
