Exporting to DVD from PC and blank in MAC????

Hi - I unfortunately still work on a PC and have tried to export from Lightroom3 to DVD and works fine as long as it is viewed on a PC. If the user wants to view CD/DVD on a MAC it reads as blank. What am I doing wrong??? Why would lightroom export as window's based versus cross functional? Thanks!

Well, here's a copy of the related description from Disk Utility help. Slightly different wording than the referenced link, but the steps are essentially the same.
To format a disk for Windows computers:
In Disk Utility, select the disk you want to format for Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose MS-DOS (FAT) from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
Type a name for the disk.
The name’s maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button, and then click Erase again.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

I have just come back from holiday and started my mac up and I have a white spot next to my Finder, Safari and Mail? why?

Are you talking about the indicator for open applications?
If you're on Lion, it just reopened apps that where open when you shut it down.

Still images exported to DVD look deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor

Hi,
I have tried tried almost everything and I still have issues with the still images exported to DVD as sequencefrom FCP 7.0 by using Compressor are deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor. Please help remove the annoying flicker.
My FCP Timeline Sequence settings match the image resolution:
Frame Size: 1024 x 682 (double of 720 x 480 standard DVD res)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dominance: None
Compressor: Photo JPG (also tried, DVCPRO-NTSC)
I cropped the original images in Photoshop to the 1024 x 682 and saved as tiffs. They still look deinterlaced in FCP timeline and exported to DVD on my iMac computer monitor.
Final output of DVD will be on this monitor:
Specifications:
Ikegami
Model: VCM-2101
Resolution: 450 TV Lines (Horizontal)
Should I crop the images to 450 horizontal pixels or the double of that 900?
How can I match the sequence or the images settings to avoid the flicker and deinterlaced look on that monitor? I am not able to test the image by having the monitor next to computer.
Compressor:
I used custom DVD settings in Compressor for 90 min best quality DVD. Tried the Porgressive and "Same as Source" in Output field.
In "Crop to" and "Padding" I set for preserve source aspect ratio and letterbox area of source.
I followed the advices from below and I still did not resolve the problem. Please is there anythign else I can try?
Thanks a lot..
Re: Poor Quality Stills
Dec 19, 2006 4:08 PM (in response to Steve Braker)
Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
- (in FCP) field order>none
- (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
- (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
- (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
- (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
- (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images

Dear Russ,
Thank you very much. Yes, there is something else in the sequence, old documentary, 768 x 570 (no field dominance, 25fps, Apple ProRes 422) but the images are more imporant.
make a progressive sequence with square pixels. (I am partial to 720P, 1080 should work – or 540). Choose Pro Res 422
Do you mean that I should make a sequence in FCP with these settings? If yes, how can I set a "progressive" sequence? I dont see a setting for output field in FCP sequence settings, lnly in customizing Compressor output DVD format.
Also: "720P, 1080 should work – or 540" are you talking about Frame size? If so, to set in Compressor or in FCP?
If you have interlaced material, then de-interlace before you bring it in. If you don't have interlaced clips, don't de-interlace.
The images are not interlaced after I crop them, apply motion blur filter in Photoshop but look interlaced in FCP timeline after I import them and even to the same as photos sequence in FCP timeline.
Please help and thank you for your comments.

30 fps projects automatically become 25 fps when export a DVD from share menu

I shoot some video at 30 fps. I made a project setting to match that.
My 30 fps projects becomes 25 fps when I make DVDs from FCPX share menu.
I thought it would make 29.97 DVDs but somehow FCPX makes PAL DVDs.
I tried different settings: all 23.98, 24, 29.97, 60 fps projects give me 29.97 DVDs when I share from FCPX.
Only 30 fps projects does not give me 29.97 but 25.
Do you know why that happen?

I am bit confused. It is not easy to make 29.97 out of 30 fps yet let FCPX handle the frame rate change?
Of course we should have the right fps setting when we shoot. I guess it is still best option at this stage to set FCP project 29.97 and let it do the math.
If, though, I am okay to have my source video slow down tiny bit, then using Compressor for frame-to-frame conversion will assure the best quality?

EXPORTING TO QUICKTIME FROM FCP5 AND ONLY SOME OF THE FILM IS TRANSFERED?

Hello All
Im in the midst of exporting my sequence from FCP5 to quicktime via the "Quick Time Movie" option. When I do this about 30 seconds of footage is missing from the final QT that us created.
If any one can help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ben

In the time line make sure that you go to the end and then press o (out Point)
also if you have a clip selected that is all that will be exported. From your info thats all I got for you. LOL

Re-burn a DVD from .m2v and .ac3 files

Can someone explain to me if one can re-burn a DVD from Compressor after you've created the .m2v (mpeg-2) and .AC3 (dolby audio) files?
Here is my problem. I create a DVD with Compressor and have both the .m2v and .ac3 files on my drive. I'd like to save these and not have to re-compress the original ProRes file all over again and just burn these again to another DVD in the future.
How do you do that? Do you need another program to do this?
Any help appreciated!

No. Compressor can't use the elementary streams to build a DVD.
To burn multiple DVDs, save to a disk image (Output Device = Hard Drive) and burn that from that in Disk Utility.

Export Using Compressor, from FCP, and Virtual Clustering

Has anyone successfully used Virtual Clustering - that is, setting up shared services for multiple instances so that you can use all 4 or 8 cores on a machine - when exporting timelines directly from FCP to Compressor 3?
I know in theory it doesn't seem like it could work (with FCP send frame-by-frame rather slowly and Compressor needing frames much faster) but Compressor 3's manual (pages 119-120) says that it should work.
I believe I'm following the instructions correctly, but it always fails...

Exporting to DVD via compressor and DVDSP - fixing poor quality dissolves

Hi,
Im having real problems with the quality of the dissolves when exporting my 59min project out of FCP, into Compressor and then into DVDSP. I exported it out to Compressor 2, used DVD best quality, 90 min, 16:9 (project is for PAL) , had the bit rate 6.5 - 7.5 etc. In the finished product the dissolves are grainy and really noticeable during the transition of 1 sec.
When we were doing test burns, using a reference movie (export/quicktime/untick make movie self contained etc) and burnt through Toast, all was fine. so I know it is not the work done in FCP its the settings or something in Compressor or something in DVDSP? Not sure.
I built and burnt the project through DVDSP and also took the build (Video TS folder) and burnt it thorugh Toast as well and got the same result! Very frustrating and now I have to deliver a sub standard product to my client for a launch tomorrow. They are burning off 50 copies for it. Very upsetting. But before they do the replication of 1000 I want to sort this out.
Is there another way to get my project out of FCP and into Compressor? For example is it possbile to export a Quicktime and full quality? I've never done this and was wondering if it is an option.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

You can modify the encoding settings in the DVDSP Preferences menu. There's a tab at the far right labeled "Encoding".
Just to confim - when I import the QT file into DVDSP, do I then just drag it onto the timeline as you would with the M2V file? Then just drag in the AC3 audio file.
Yes.
Then do I do a 'Build' in DVDSP to get the Video TS folder? Do you normally burn then through the DVDSP or burn in Toast for example.
I normally build to my secondary internal drive first and open that folder with DVD Player, just to make sure I connected everything properly. I prefer to check my project in DVD Player rather than use the built-in simulator, primarily because I can then fast forward my tracks to make sure my jump points and buttons work.
When I'm ready to burn a disc, I burn directly from DVDSP.

How do I export a SWF from CS4 and make it viewable for clients?

I'm currently using Indesign CS4 and just learned how to export an animated file as a SWF file. Once exported I have both a SWF file and a HTML file, however when I send either file to a client they don't open. How to I format the file for customer viewing?
Thank you

Thank you so much that worked. Is there a more professional way to send a client a link instead of two files? I can just see the confusion from it. Thank
you again.

Is it possible to export my bookmarks from Firefox and import to another instance of the browser but without any type of cookie being imported?

For convenience I want to have my already created bookmarks imported into another Firefox user's browser. For security reasons I don't want any cookies or flash cookies to be imported when I do this and I don't want to Sync browsers. Is this possible? If so, how, or are cookies not part of the exporting of bookmark data anyway?

You can transfer bookmarks using two different formats:
* Backup format: if you want to preserve tags, this format can do that. However, the Restore process completely replaces all existing bookmarks with what is in the backup. If you want to merge different sets of bookmarks together, do not use this method. More info:
** [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* Export format: with this option, Firefox creates an HTML file with an ancient format compatible with most browsers. It is not as complete as the newer Backup format. More info:
** [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
** [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
Neither of these files contains cookies or passwords.

Images exported to LR4 from Elements and then re-exported back to LR4 do not show up there

I have just upgraded from elements 6 and LR3 to Elements 11 and LR4. I export from LR4 to Elements, adjust the image and 'save' as psd. In LR3 the saved psd would be visible alongside the original image. That doesn't happen now....which is a real pain. What can I do to make it happen, please.

One possibility is that you accidentally opened a new/different catalog.
Look at File->Open Recent and open the catalogs shown there and see if your photos appear

Issue with exporting the image from camera and scanner

Hello,
When importing JPG digital photos from my Conica Minolta SLR digital camera, the file size is typically 3-4 megabytes. If importing
and then exporting the file out of Lightroom 2.6, the size of the file is not changed (at least not very much).
However, when scanning 35 mm color negative films using a Plustek OpticFilm 7600i with SilverFast-SE the JPG file has a size of abou
t 5 megabytes (generated by SilverFast-SE). If I take this file and import it to Lightroom and then export it out again, the size in
crements to about 12 megabytes. What could be the reason for this?
Browser: Microsoft IE
Operating System: Windows 7
Scanner / driver version: SilverFast-SE v6.6.0r6
Has it ever worked? If so, what's changed? (provide comments in description field): Not Applicable
Same results with different file?: Not Applicable
Same results with different computer?: Not Applicable
Recent System Hardware or Software change?: Not Applicable
Regards
JPSingh

It is the compression settings on export that will define the size of an exported image from LR, the amount of compression applied will produce differing file sizes according to the type of image, the amount of sharpening and many other factors.. To compare actual file sizes (rather than compressed sizes) see what it says when in Lightroom or when open in Photoshop. Two images with the same pixel dimension can have very different file sizes when compressed. When open, in PS for instance, the file size will be the same for images of the same pixel dimensions and bit depth. .

Internal DVD disappears including from ATA and Burning in Mac info

I have an open ticket on this issue, my internal DVD appears and disappears. I'm not sure if this is a loose internal connection or a firmware issue. If it is a loose connection, I guess that I will have to send it back to Apple for repair. I understand that disassembly is a pain.
The issue may have to do do with connecting to external Firewire drives. Has anyone ran into something similar? I expect to play with this for a few days until I am more confident as to the real issue and would appreciate any input. Apple support has been great. But, I've done tech support and really want to have the issue nailed down before I send the Mac in for repairs.

The computer is now running correctly and the DVD issue is no longer occurring. My best guess, at this time, is that it was something like the Windows registry "noide" issue. In other words one of the setup scripts was hashed for some reason or another. As I believe these rewrite themselves, the issue was self repairing.
No one else seems to have had the issue, so it was probably specific to my system. Should someone else have this issue, I suggest disconnecting the computer from all connections including power overnight. this seemed to temporarily fix the issue the first two times. The third time was several days ago and it is still working correctly. I will add to this thread if I find anything new

Hard to explain, exporting email addresses from computer and I need from this point onwards new addresses to be logged somewhere else.

I will be exporting all my email addresses to set up a retail customer mailing list. Because we are a business I have suppliers emails along with a trade customers who I will have to manually find and remove from my mailing list.
Then in 1 months time I hope to export the next lot of addresses (and every month after) to add to my retail mailing list. I would ideally like this export to only include the addresses that were accumulated since the last export. This is so that I do not have to go through the whole lot all over again.
Is this something that is possible? Can anyone suggest how I can manage this or is there another way to achieve what I want that I am not thinking of?
Many thanks
Ricky

lots of ways.
How about creating a retail and other address books in Thunderbird. Then you only have to export the one you want each time, or use the mail merge add-on to actually send messages from Thunderbird.
Given all email address add options include ac choice of address book, except the automated collections of outgoing addresses not in the address books,
I suggest you get into the habit of adding new addresses to the correct address book before them mail is sent.
Given that the whiter list for images is no longer the address book from Version 31 on you should be able to manage your address book fairly simply.
