    You can't get there with GUID/GPT.
    There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
    You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
    Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
    You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
    Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
    You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record.

  • Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

    I addition to running less concurrent processes or installing more RAM as Kappy mentioned.
    I also see that you have less than 10% of free space left on your HDD.
    Disk Information: ?

  • How do I download DVDs into my itunes for my iPad

    How do I download DVDs into my iTunes for my iPad?

    If you're talking about commercial DVDs, we can't really help you. Most commercial DVDs are encrypted and the Terms of Use of these forums prohibit discussing software or methods of breaking that encryption.
    If you're talking about homemade DVDs, try Handbrake. It's easy to use and has presets for the iPad.

  • Permission to copy dvds to my SSD for faster installation

    I would like permission to copy dvds to my SSD for faster installation.
    I would also like to know if the standard multi-volume installer methods work with Master Collection CS5 installation where discs are organized into
    DISK1\
    DISK2\
    DISK3\
    what disc number for acrobat 9, if any?
    can I copy the content disc (no installer)?
    or do you use a different method? of course once it's on the SSD, it would be impossible to change discs as the installer currently requests using discs.

  • What DVD burner is recommended for burning an iMovie?

    I would like a recommendation for a DVD burner app that will burn quality movies.  What does everyone use?  I downloaded a couple of free ones from the App Store, but I was not satisfied with the quality of the movie that I created in iMovie.
    Thanks!

    babowaNov 4, 2014 7:32 PM Re: What DVD burner is recommended for burning an iMovie?
    Re: What DVD burner is recommended for burning an iMovie?in response to mikmarjas
    I use Roxio Toast as well as iDVD. The quality is also dependent on a) the camera/quality used, b) the process used in iMovie (which version?), and c) which method (quality settings) is used to export it from iMovie. Every process/step (including the encoding for burning) will compress the video and may result in a slight loss of quality.
    babowa, how do I go about knowing the correct steps that you mentioned to produce a good quality video?  My videos look good on my computer, but on the tv the quality is greatly diminished.
    Thank you for your response and help!

  • I want to replace DVD-RAM UJ-846S for Qosmio G20-127

    Hi
    I want to replace my Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-846S for G20-127.
    Anyone knows its apare part # and any sugestion wich RAM is compactible for my machine and best plase to get it?

    Hi
    You should know that you cannot use all possible CD/DVD drives due to master/slave/c-sel settings.
    Using an drive with not compatible settings you will get an IDE#1 error and the BIOS will not recognize the new device
    In my user manual I could find a list of compatible CD/DVD drives for my notebook.
    Check your user manual and possibly there would be also a list with compatible CD/DVD drives.
    Otherwise you could contact the ASP in your country and could ask for compatible ODDs

  • Is it Possible to change the DVD drive to Bluray for HP Pavilion dv6-6176sx

    Hi All,
    Is it Possible to change the DVD drive to Bluray for HP Pavilion dv6-6176sx Entertainment Notebook PC?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Sure it is not even very difficult. Do you just need a BR reader or a burner/reader? The replacement disk drive will be $80-120 or so, maybe a bit less. You can find them on eBay. You can use a generic one but that may require some reworking of the faceplate or just get an original dv6-6000 BR drive on eBay. Swaps out with a couple screws on the bottom; slide out and slide in the replacement. You will need new software to play BR movies, of course.

  • Cannot download full DVD Movie Factory version for Satellite A100 and clean Vista

    Hi there
    I made a clean Windows Vista orgianal upgrade set from Modus link.
    Installed and now when a want to install the DVD Movie Factory patch (DMF5.51_Patch_18in1_for TOSHIBA_147.05_0718)
    there is no dvd creator software installed and also no cd creator...
    it saids "no earlyer DMF found" and is stop and exit intalling this patch.
    Now i cann't get the dvd creator software on my Satelite A-100 ..
    In my earlyer OS XP MCE had a.. DVD creator DMF from Ulead for toshiba (oem) and sonic cd creator
    What can i try now?
    Reagds Okky

    The fact is that both applications are part of recovery image and these applications are available if you have factory settings only. They cannot be downloaded and installed additionally.
    If you want to habe them again you must install OS again using Toshiba recovery DVD.

  • How to Import DVD content to FCP for editing

    My clients always bring us DVDs (both PAL and NTSC formats) for us to insert certain segments into the FCP project.
    Questions:
    1. We can import the PAL VOB file into FCP PAL project, but the images seems to be broken up in thick horizontal lines. It seems to be related to the interlace but we cannot fix it in FCP, not matter using deinterlace, switch field, de-flicker.
    2. No audio can be import in this way.
    We cannot digitally import those DVD files into FCP and we can only bring the DVD into FCP using component signals and analog audio through a DVD player.
    Any suggestion on how to import the DVD digitally into FCP, both audio and video?
    Thanks in advance.
    Mike
    (rem: those DVDs are most created by other post facilities, they are not encrypted movie DVDs, so this problem is not related to encryption or region codes.)

    Did you search the forum for DVD ripping? This is a very common problem and discussed all the time
    You have to rip the DVDs to a format that FCP understands like, for instance, DV video
    You can use software like DVxDVD a decent commercial product or MPEG Streamclip which is free but requires Apple MPEG Playback Component to make it work

  • Downloading DVD's to Itunes for Ipod Touch use

    I know you can download cd's to itunes, but what about dvd's? I'm wanting the Veggie Tales and the only movie they have on there is Jonah, so I have that one, but I need all of the others for my 4 yr old son. Thanks !

    To do so you would have to use software to remove the encryption on the DVD, which is illegal in the US and hence can't be discussed here per the Terms of Use.
    Sorry.

  • What type of DVD should I use for Windows Backup?

    I am wanting to do my Windows Backup and I was wondering what type of DVD media I should use. Is it better to use a RW or only R type DVD.
    I have an HP Omni 220-1180qd, A5W89AV#ABA, running Win7 64 bit.
    I thought I read it can use CD's, DVD's but I want to know which would be the better choice.
    Thanks for any help and all help is appreciated.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Honestly, an external hard drive would be a better choice. The difference between +R and +R/W is that +R is "Recordable" and +R/W is "Re-Writable". If you intend on making periodic backups, go with an extrernal hard drive... If you intend on making very few backups, consider the DVD+R discs.

  • I have a problem with my pavilion dv4-2045dx dvd/cd rom drive for windows 7 64-bit

    I can play CD's and watch dvd movies fine.  The drive have no problem reading cd and DVD's.  My problem is with cd-rom and blank CD's and DVD's.  I can't burn anything.  For some reason, it won't read any cd-rom disks.  This has never been a problem before.  I tried the idea about the upper and lower filters but when I searched, I didn't see any upper or lower filters.  I tried the microsoft fix it and nothing was wrong.  I looked at the device manager and it shows no problem at all.  What should I do next?
