DVD for Shanghai China?
I want to burn a widescreen DVD from NTSC DV material for playback in Shanghai China. Can I just send a regular NTSC Standard DVD? I have FCP 4.5 and DVDSP2.
Do I need to convert my DV timeline to PAL, then export to Compressor, then export to DVD Studio Pro 2 in PAL? What is the thread?
Thanks!
If the person you are sending it to has a NTSC Player and Television (many people otuside the U.S. have set ups which can play NTSC as compared to people in the U.S. where there is limited PAL)
You would need to make a PAL project and use PAL assets (m2vs and graphics), there are a few ways to convert things, including Plug-Ins in Final Cut, to conversions in Compressor and quality of the conversions vary.
A good plugin for Final Cut with good results is

I ordered the new V-iPod (30GB) last week (should be here Wednesday)...
This is the first time I've ordered from Apple and had the tracking start in Shanghai, China!!OMG!!! China!!!! The world is going to the crapper in a handbasket!!!!!
I cant believe someone doenst know there is an international comunity where most of their daily products come from. Look at any product most likely its gonna be from outside the USA. I mean really who would think that the ipod was completely manufactured in the USA. Oh my if you shop at wal-roos your amost gaurantted to be buying stuff never made in the USA. you might even be surprised to see that those that respond on these discusion boards arent from the USA. Doesnt mean their odd in a way their actually all great people. No need for surprise on where your product comes from jsut as long as you completely enjoy it. =)

(I know that the surprise was where the shipping was from not that the ipod was made in china ...just having fun.) -
MBP i7 shipping from Shanghai, China!?
I finally got a FedEx notice that my 15" MBP just shipped... from Shanghai, China. Why does this give me pause? I'm sure that's the origin of all Apple products anyway, but I guess I'm worried that there is a level of QA-check that will be missing.
It's probably nothing, but in the past I'd always bought from an Apple store. Was quite surprised to see "Shanghai, China" on the FedEx departure location. That's quite a long (and I'm sure rough) journey.

You're right, of course, and I think most Americans are aware (especially those who've lost their US-based manufacturing jobs over the years) that pretty much everything is manufactured overseas... or north/south of the border.
There are still some complete machines still assembled in the US. It's getting rare though.
However, that's not really my issue. I have this crazy notion that products bought from the Apple stores undergo one final check for possible shipping damage or manufacturing defects before being sold. I'm sure that's a false assumption, but it gives me a warm fuzzy nonetheless.
Highly unlikely. Everything comes complete from the factory sealed and ready for sale. The packaging contains everything needed. They won't even think of turning anything on, because most people want their machines to initially fire up just like it came from the factory. All the booklets, packaged accessories, and discs are packed at the final assembly point, and they're primarily produced by local manufacturers.
Apple's subcontractors are established Taiwanese manufacturers like Foxconn, Quanta, and Acer. Personally I think their manufacturing standards were slightly higher when their primary assembly was in Taiwan, but those days are primarily over. They do maintain their own QC personnel at these newer factories in mainland China, and in general the quality is pretty high. Definitely better than most PRC only manufacturing facilities. -
Creating a video DVD for PAL TV using video from an NTSC Camcorder
Hey Guys,
I'll be owning an AVCHD NTSC camcorder (Canon HF S10) and need to know whether Final Cut Express includes the functionality of importing the video from the camcorder and exporting it to a DVD for a PAL TV system.
Will you share your experience?
Many thanks!
-MaxI'd suggest you do a search of the forum. This has been discussed often. Yes, FCE supports AVCHD. Most PAL DVD player will play back NTSC.

PAL-authored Final Cut Express project...how to burn to DVD for NTSC audien
Not sure if this is possible...and through searching a few previous posts it sounds like it may require additional software...but what the heck, thought I'd ask anyway ! I operate in UK and have made several FCE movies for friends in the UK which I've burnt onto a DVD and sent to them as gifts. Now I want to do the same for a friend in the States, and I'm wondering how to go about the PAL>>NTSC issue. Would it be easiest to just take the PAL-dvd and pay somebody at Jessops etc to convert it onto a NTSC dvd for me? I don't mind paying a few quid for someone else to do it, especially if it would require me to go out and buy all kinds of software to be able to do it myself... But I'm worried about how the picture files, music, titling, special effects etc would come out. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Toast 7.x is able to burn a PAL-project on a NTSC-dvd. In the preferences of Toast you can decide wether the output will be a PAL- or a NTSC-dvd.
For friends in Brazil I burned a NTSC-dvd, but I still don't know if it works!
Give it a try on a dvd-rw.

How to make a NTSC DVD for the USA
I want to put some movies on a DVD for some relatives to play on their DVD player in USA which uses NTSC I believe.
How do I convert my PAL footage to play on their machine in iDVD6?Hi Alexander
Two ways. One bad and one very good.
• Burn a NTSC-project in iDVD - BAD AND LOSY QUALITY
• Open Your movie in JES_Deinterlacer - Google it - it's free and let it convert Your PAL (25fps) project
to NTSC (29.97fps) then start a new iDVD NTSC-project and drop this new converted movie into
this.
This should be enough - BUT You can do more.
• Now Save as a DiskImage to eg Desktop
• Burn this by Apple Disk Util tool or Toast™ - AT AN AS SLOW speed as possible eg x1, x2 or x4
• Burn it on high quality media: I use Verbatim DVDs
• Use DVD-R (not +R or +/-RW)
Doing the last steps gives a DVD that has less writing errors = Can be played on more types of player
eg. stand alone DVD-player or PCs

Yes I am an idiot---How to burn content to DVD for TV viewing?
I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I haven't had any luck finding it. I need idiot-proof step-by-step instructions, if possible.
I am trying to put content from my series 2 TiVo onto DVDs for children's viewing on Sony DVD players in the family room. I have scoured the TiVo and TiVo Community forums but they are too abstruse and technical for me. Given the extremely poor reviews of Popcorn, Toast, Roxio, and Sonic (the current TivoToGo for the Mac solution) I don't want to spend $ and wasted effort.
I have used TiVo Decode Manager to convert TiVo content to MP4 (which works great ONLY on the Mac or iPod). I have used Living Room widget to convert TiVo content to MPEG (which is unreadable on the Mac without buying a Quicktime MP-2 component).
I have burned a Maxell DVD-R using iDVD (it didn't see the MPEG files, but I got them on the DVD using the Burn Folder) which works great on multiple Macs IF run as a Quicktime file or in iTunes. OS X DVD Player doesn't see anything (it asks for Video_TS and Audio_TS files, which aren't there), nor do any Sony DVD players see a disc at all. Please note that I have NO trouble getting TiVo connected to my Mac or transferring content to my Mac.
So, very simple question: I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this. Or do I have to buy Popcorn or Toast?I want to burn MP4 or MPEG content that is readable by Sony DVD players. I cannot figure out iDVD to do this.
Nope, iDvd won't do this (at least not directly). Toast/Popcorn are better options for what you wish to do. -
I need help, i need buy or dowload some Professional Authoring DVD for IMAC, I editing in my Final Cut Pro X and need a DVD authoring
after installing the Mavericks, my IDVD don't work, can someone help about this ?
also, did you know if DVD studio pro its available for sale ? if yes, where's can I buy ?
thanksApple discontinued DVD Studio Pro three/four years ago. You can probably find copies from private sellers, but whether it will work without problems on OS X 10.9 I don't know. I don't know of any "professional" alternative to DVDSP for Mac, but someone else here may be able to offer suggestions.
As to iDVD, it should work under Mavericks, depending on what version of iDVD you're running. You might ask for assitance in the iDVD forum. For alternatives to iDVD, see this page for suggestions:

Any install DVD for X-fi Elite pro with Win 7 ?
hello all of you, i wonder if there will be an install dvd for?X-fi Elite Pro on Win?7? and if so , where can i download it, is there an?other solution for the installation, instead of the Vista install dvd
Thanks for your help?I've since run a few more tests and have confirmed that my X-Fi is the hardware that is making my system lockup. I disabled it in the device manager and was able to play games all day with no problems, but with no sound of course. I also tried uninstalling all software related to the X-Fi and uninstalling the drivers, removing the card, restarting then reinstalling the hardware software and drivers. But the problem starts again while listening to music, playing games, or even watching video online or of my hard disk.

I installed a new hard drive in my MacBook. Is there a way to download os 10.6 from internet to DVD for install?
Hi C.Mathew Mulligan,
If you would like you can your boot your computer into recovery mode using Command+R There you can select re-download it from the internet. You will not have any of your old data on your new computer, but that is because you replaced your hard drive. So if you would like your old data to be there on your new computer I would recommend to back up your old hard drive to Time machine then Boot it into recovery using Command+R and click on restore with Time machine. Once that has completed successfully you not only should have 10.6 But you will also have all of your data from your old computer. -
Hi,
I have the dvd for adobe creative suite 5.5 web premium, I see a set-up.exe for windows, but how do I install this software on my macbook please?
Thank you
EYou can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.

DVD Studio Pro 4 Burning cd-rom, not dvd for playback on TV
Hi there.
I completed an HD project in FCP 7, compressed in "Compressor" and now want to burn a DVD in HD in DVD Studio Pro 4.
I went into "Preferences" and made what I believe are all of the necessary changes to make this happen.
However, when it burns, it won't burn a DVD for playback in a DVD player. In fact, one of my DVD players identifies it as a CD-ROm, and sure enough, it plays in the computer, but not in a DVD player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
KevinHD DVD is a dead format, abandoned by its developers a few years ago after losing out to Blu-ray.
However, HD DVDs will play on later model Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) models of HD DVD players that were made by Toshiba.
Normal, set-top DVD players and Windows DVD player programs have never been able to play HD DVDs. They only play DVDs, which are standard definition only. Some DVD players will upscale the output of a DVD (again, standard definition) to HD dimensions for playback on HDTVs. Some actually do a pretty good job ... some don't. But the fact remains that the source being played can only be standard definition.
So, if you want to make a disc that will contain HD content, you'll need to make a Blu-ray disc. If you want to make a DVD that will play in DVD players, you'll need to make a DVD, which again, can only be standard definition.
