Help needed, cash burning hole in pocket

Hey folks,
I'm thinking about upgrading my ancient g4 350mhz (ptle 5.1.1)and wondered which option you might take given the following (to run logic 7.2)
Would you go for A)g5 dual 2 gig ram
B)Intel powerbook (ram-maxed)
C)wait a year for the intel powermacs?
I'd go for option 2 straight away if these were not 1st generation intels but option 1 is tempting as i know(hope)it will be a solid setup. However option 3 seems that i'll have a very powerful/futureproof setup.
So whaddya reckon guys?

If your migrating from the machine you have to even the slowest Core Duo, you will be more than happy.
"Wait for the towers and save your money" seems like a contradiction to me.
I would opt for a 1.83GHz MacBook Pro. You'll spend about $2000, whereas an intel tower plus a 20" display would probably be much much more.
I would not advice you to get any G5s. Yes, they're fast, but their days are numbered.
I have had ZERO problems with my new MBP.
Take what you want from that.

Help needed: Cash Management report FF7A

Hi Experts,
My client requires a cash position report that takes data of 30-60 days.. but standard report FF7A only shows 7 days maximum.
Would you know what other SAP reports we may use? And if there is a need to customize, how much time would this development need?
Many thanks,
David

Hi David,
without having need to go into some Customizing of specific Custom development, you can specify time period not only in days, but also in weeks, months and combination of all mentioned before, so I'm sure you can cover period of even more than 60 days. When you run FF7A, there is a group of fields called Increment in selection criteria, where you can specify your variant of timeline, also another field Number of Columns, where max. number is a bit more than 20 columns (or days) if I'm not wrong (do not have access to system at moment).
E.g. you can show first 2 weeks in days, then next 2 months in weeks and the rest period in months, which makes more than 2 months.
Hope this will help you.
Rgds,
Renatas

ITunes help needed for burning a CD

I can upload from a CD into ITunes and I can burn a CD using Roxio but when I try to burn a CD from iTunes, I receive an error message that my disk drive is not recognized. The nomenclature for the disk drive is: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H652M ATA Device. The PC driver software for the CD drive is up-to-date. I was able to previously burn CDs on this same equipment albeit an earlier version of iTunes. Age of the PC is 5 years

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

HELP needed! - burning in list view

This issue is driving me crazy!
I burn many Data CDs & DVDs backing up files.
The preferred format is all to be in LIST VIEW.
Prior to burning, I ensure all enclosing folders & files are in list view.
After burning, the top level is in list view, but all enclosed folders have reverted to ICON VIEW.
This means higgly-piggly non alphabetic files or folders without dates.
I am using OSX 10.4.9. on a G4/MDD and a 15" powerbook
Have tried Toast 6,7, & 8. and Disk Utility.
Also tried locking folder before burning.
PLEASE can someone, HELP!

Do yourself a favor (don't you hate that phrase?) and buy Roxio Toast.
Among other things, it allows you to customize the view of burned disks.

I don't have idvd but i need to burn my movie from iMovie! what do i do? i have dvds but every time i try to use one, the sound is off and it doesn't work on quick time or adobe... help!!

i have made a movie in imovie on my macbook pro, but apparently i don't have idvd!!!
i need to burn this so i can watch it somewhere else, but im not sure how...
ive already tried simply exporting it to Quick Time, and burned it to a dvd, but when i watched it... the sound was wrong and people's words were like muted...
what do i do?!?! i don't know where or how to get idvd!
help!!!

Hi
There are two structures of DVDs
• Data-DVD - as burned from DeskTop/Finder
• Video-DVD - to be played on a DVD-Player - Needs a program that can do this
One can in iMovie - Export as QuickTime .mov and save this via DeskTop/Finder onto a DVD - BUT this will only play on a Computer and if it is a Window-PC this needs to download QT-player or VLC-player.
But no DVD-player for TV can play back this.
To get a Video-DVD then You need
• iDVD (not from Apple any more) - or -
• DVD Studio Pro (not from Apple any more) - or -
• FinalCut Pro-X (can do simple Video-DVDs) - or -
• Burn - http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html - FREE - but very PLAIN - no fancy things at all.
• Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro - Fairly advanced - and costs a bit - still very Good and lot's of great tool's included. (I love it) - Can also back convert home made DVDs to an editable mode in an OK quality. With BD-component also capable to do sort of Blu-Ray DVDs.

I can't find iDVD on my computer, and I need to burn a movie onto a disk. Help?

I can't find iDVD on my computer. I need to burn a movie onto a disk, and I need it quickly. Can someone help me? I've searched for iDVD in applications, but it's not there.

iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

I have Windows 7 on a Dell. Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2). Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode. This has worked for me. I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc. These ideas did not work. Compatability mode works.

I need to burn a DVD with a menu and everything but I don't have iDVD. Help please? I bought my iMac in March 2012.

I need to burn a DVD with a menu and everything, but I don't have iDVD. I bought my iMac from an Apple store in March 2012. Help please?

You may be able to find iDVD as part of the iLife 11 Retail Package. It is no longer sold by Apple, but you may find it on eBay or Amazon.
Other options include Toast from Roxio.
See here for more discussion of the options.

HDV file - need to burn to Blu-ray, help please

I have a 75 minute 1080 HDV50i video file which I need to burn it to Blu-ray for a screening in the US. Can anybody suggest the best way of doing this? Do I need to convert it before burning? And what is the best way to burn to Blu-ray? I have an LG Blu-ray burner.

There are probably simpler ways of doing this but this should work. When your edit is done, duplicate your sequence, open the sequence settings for the duplicate and change the codec (or compressor) to prores 422.
Export this sequence with current settings. Open the resulting file in cinema tools and "conform" to 23.98 fps. (or the closest frame rate to that - some applications just give you a choice of a frame rate close to that). Bring this file into compressor or fcp and you should be able to make a blu-ray that is compatible with US players. All blurays in the US (and all US dvd players) can play 23.98 material as most feature films are shot at 24 frames per second and the transfer to video/digital usually involves slowing the film down slightly (just as most feature films in Europe are sped up slightly to 25 fps)
If there's a more straightforward method available, hopefully someone else will speak up. I've never done this but it should work. As always, I'd recommend making sure your end user tests the disk before the big showing.

Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
But not sure that my lenses will work.
I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
A 10/20 ex Sigma HSM IF.
And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours BRODIE

In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

Help needed for a Final Cut Express project Compression

Hi guys,
This is my first post as I usually find answers to all my questions reading through the various thread. I just haven't found an answer to my last pb yet hence the new topic. Hope you guys can help.
I have got this very simple slideshow that I need to burn onto DVD. The issue is that it's LONG. It's an hour and 17 minutes and i have no idea what is the best way to compress/export this so I can burn this on a single layer DVD.
I tried various options and it suddenly stops because I "only" have 13GB of free space on my macbook. 13GB!!!! How will this ever fit on a DVD? and this is with medium quality...
please help!
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Sasha.
Woke up this morning and the burning never started because the file was too big. I exported the file from FCE and it was 16GB! iDVD never managed to fit it in my single layer DVD. Am I using iDD correctly?
I am thinking I need to compress this further on FCE right? I don't understand why such a simple movie (although very long) can take so much space. It's only about 900MB of JPGs and 120MB of music. I don't want to bring the quality down to "low" because it won't look good.
So far, I have been exporting using quicktime conversions and I tried the following formats: tried exporting in AVI and QuickTime Movie. For the compression type, I tried DVCPRO50-NTSC on medium quality (with AVI) and Photo-JPG & DVCPRO50-NTSC again (with QuickTime Movie) both on slightly better than medium quality. Results all were well above 10GB.
Please, help!
Thanks.
Hope you can help.

I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD

I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD, my sequence lasts 1 hr and 33 minutes. What are my options? Is it better to export as a Quick Time movie or using the compressor? I'm new to the compressor just learning, please help.

Select your sequence in the browser window, go to the File menu and choose Export Using Compressor.
When compressor opens, choose the DVD best quality settings, 120 minutes.
For audio and video both, choose both the m2v video and the AC3 audio. (Dolby Professional)
Choose a destination for your files, and hit submit.
When it's finished, import these files into your DVD SP project, and make your DVD.
Be sure to choose the 16:9 anamorphic settings.

What app do I need to burn imovies to dvd

I have a new imac - no internal superdrive- I bought a stand alone. I need to burn imovies to dvd. Idvd no longer works with new imac, I purchased Toast - that does not work, I downloaded Free DVD creator - that does not work either. I have been following the procedures but the dvds can not be played on my tv dvd player.

Use Verbatim like babowa suggested and burn at the slowest speed available. That will give you the best qualtiy video DVD. If you find you want to create a video DVD with more style than what Toast provides consider using iDVD.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
