How can i put HD movie on a blu ray

I don't understand Apple. I bought an iMac last week because I primarily do video and photography. I was always told Macs were the way to go for such work. Now I am learning that Apple isn't exactly on the cutting edge of technology. Their idea of HD is 720p. I have a 1080p camcorder, a blu-ray player and burner, and a 1080p HDTV. I returned the Apple TV because it only did 720p. And Apple has no support for blu-ray. So basically I am limited to 720p for all of my edited movies because Apple refuses to provide any solutions. Did I completely miss the boat on something? Everyone always told me, "Once you go Mac, you never go back". Well I'm already wishing I had my PC back so I could watch my movies in full 1080p. I find it hard to believe Apple could be so far behind the curve on this one.

I'm not sure what you're talking about - iMovie does 1080 - my Canon shoots in 1080p; now, after doing extensive tests when I first got it, I have decided to process the footage at 720p because a) while buying my HDTV, I literally could not tell the difference between 720 and 1080 at the distance I watch; b) my HDTV is 720p so processing the footage at 720 makes sense, and c) file sizes are grossly huge (I'm currently working on a project and have 90 GB of various files/clips littering my hard drive - and that's about one hour of video in 720p - in 1080 it'd be double that). Also, rendering and processing will take much longer. So I shoot in 1080, use MPEG Streamclip to convert it losslessly to 720 and then move it into iMovie. The result is great on my TV - granted, not blu-ray, but quite good (enough for me).
And, if you buy Toast (Roxio Toast), it has a plugin so you can burn blu-ray quality - they say; I use Toast, but not the plugin because I tried that as well and could not see enough of a difference to make it worthwhile for me. For me, 720 is fine.

How can I put some movies to iPhoto?

Hi, how can I put some movies to iPhoto? Is there a type of the file that I can convert my fully renderred .mov (a QT files made out of FinalCutE) files/movies to, so iPhoto (8 or 9) would accept? (then I want to upload the converted (?) little movies from iPhoto to Web Picasa...
And in a case that it is possible - how one can do this?
Thanks.

Have you tried importing your .mov files into iPhoto?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How can I put a movie on my ipod without deleting other movies?

I have a movie (and extras) on my ipod nano that I downloaded years ago and placed my ipod. Unfortunately, that computer crashed and I no longer have the computer.
I recently downloaded a digital copy of a movie that came with the DVD I bought on my new computer. When I tried to put this movie on my ipod, I received a message saying that in order to do this, I would have to link my ipod to this itunes library on my computer and it would delete my old movie. I don't want this happen so how can I put my new movie on my ipod without deleting my old movie (and extras)?
(Also, I have no idea if this will be necessary information, but I want to give all the information for this question...the e-mail address I used to download the 1st movie is no longer in use due to security reasons. I've been using a new e-mail that has worked fine for downloading music and my new movie.)
I hope someone can help me!
Thank you in advance.

Are you sure you have enough space on the ipod for the new movie? If you do, make sure it's loaded in i-tunes, and it's check box is checked, then click sync, or apply, and everything should load.

How can I put a movie from Itunes, onto my Sony PSP?

I recently got the Hunger Games, and it came with a digital copy of which I registered on Itunes. I'm looking to put this copy onto my Sony PSP 3000, but alas it's not working, and I'm getting quite frustrated.
Please help me resolve this, many thanks.

Sorry, but you cannot. Movies from the iTunes Store can be played only in Apple's software and on Apple's devices.

I just redeemed a movie through iTunes, however, my computer says "the disk I'm trying to save to is full", which I'm assuming means my computer is full. I tried to go on my iPad and just redeem the movie through that, but now it says the code has been redeemed, so I cant redeem it again. How can I put this movie on my iPad or iCloud?

Hello johnciti123,
Thank you for ordering a PlayStation Network currency card from Best Buy's eBay store. I am sorry to hear of the trouble you have had with it when you recently attempted to use it.
While I recognize this may not be what you were hoping to hear, I regret to inform you that Best Buy is unable to support currency cards after they have been sold. After we activate the cards for use we have no way to verify if or when they ever are, as this information is only available to the company for which the currency card is sold. In this case that is Sony and PSN. If there was anything that could be done, it would need to be from Sony. In this case it sounds like they are likewise taking the stance that they cannot verify who was authorized to use the code so they do not provide support either.
I am sorry there is not something else we can do. Please let us know if you have any additional questions in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

How can I set the movies I have put into itunes so that they do not sync each time I try to sync new music purchaes?

I can uncheck tv shows and when I sync music or app purchase the tv shows do not sync unless they are marked us unwatched. I have put digital copies of some blu-rays into itunes and I cannot get them to be in itunes without syncing when sync new purchases. How can I keep the movies in itunes for storage but keep them from going to the device and taking up memory when I am not needing them?

Just untick Sync Movies or change the drop down below to selected movies.

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.

Assuming it's in a supported format (which is likely), simply sync your iPad to iTunes on your computer. Make sure you have specified that you would like to sync movies on the "movies" tab on the top right of the iTunes display (when your iPad is plugged in and its row highlighted).

You can't. You can't export part of a sequence. Duplicate it and remove the bits you don't want to export from the duplicate.

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.
