How do I create an HD-SD hybrid movie file?

I want to be able to create HD/SD hybrid files like the ones you automatically get when you purchase HD items from the iTunes store. I have several home-made band videos that were shot with my HD camera, but I want to also keep them on my ipod, but I don't want to have to sort through tons of videos with 'iPod' or '720p' in their titles. Anyone know how to combine both versions into a single item in my library so I don't have to maintain two files?

I want to be able to create HD/SD hybrid files like the ones you automatically get when you purchase HD items from the iTunes store... Anyone know how to combine both versions into a single item in my library so I don't have to maintain two files?
As I have never purchased an HD movie from iTunes, I did not realize they were even selling "hybrid" content. However, it does make for an interesting question and a problem that is easily solved. I assume, for the purposed of this discussion, your iPod is not a current model having built-in HD playback capabilities.
It turns out that iTunes actually scans the tracks before syncing/serving track data to various devices. So the easiest solution to your problem is to simply use QT 7 Pro to embed a secondary SD video track in your 720p HD file. It should be noted that iTunes appears to require both video tracks be in an "active" state. If not, the inactive video track will not be evaluated before attempting to sync or serve the video track. Thus, if the SD track is inactive, the movie will not sync to to an older iPod but play normally on TV, iPad, or HD iPhone/iPod Touch devices. On the other hand, if the HD video track is deactivated, then the SD video track will be sync'd/served to all devices.
Since all video tracks must be active, a secondary recommendation would be to set the SD video track on a layer behind the the HD video track. While the video content will sync/serve to mobile devices and play correctly on them no matter on which layer the HD and SD video is placed, the default cover art image and QT Players will reflect/display the tracks as they are actually layered in the player. Thus, as previously noted, you can avoid this by hiding the smaller dimensioned track behind the larger.
Also be advised that QT 7 Pro places the modified content in an MOV file. While this seems to bother some users, it has no significant affect on playback for software or hardware players/devices. Content can be wrapped/re-wrapped in M4V or MP4 files containers using third-party software if so desired and the process is compatible with your particular work flow.

How do I create a screensaver from an mov file that other mac user can download? Is there free software or shareware available for this?

I have seen iScreensaver and PulpMotion and several others but I simply wish to convert an mov file to a screensaver that other mac can download. I haven't been able to come across a tutorial for this that works on Lion. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD?
You can't. You MUST buy iDVD.
Tell Apple how you feel. They do read these comments, and often react. Be nice.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
(On the above link, you will notice under Mac apps they do indeed show, iDVD!)
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $29. You WILL get iDVD.
or if you like downloads, go to the Apple Store via the Store button at the top, (not the App Store) and look for iLife 11 it will list iWeb and iDVD. It IS available online.

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

How to accessed,created and modified date of particular file in java

Hi,
I am facing one problem.
I know how to get the modified date/time of file in java.
but i don't know how to find created and accessed date/time of file in java.
Thanks,
Tejas

I guess thats not possible in in Windows.
But if u r trying it on a unix machine.
You can use Runtime class to call exec on the command
ls -l filename
and then store the result in a file . And then take out the last modified time. But you cant get created time.
Thats a clumpsy way i believe.

How can I create a link to download a file in Captivate?

So, in my Captivate file, I want people to be able to download an XML file to their machine. If I create a hyperlink to "open a file", then when a user clicks on it, captivate attempts to open the xml file in a browser window instead of downloading it. I can't figure out how to use the download attribute for an href in captivate and I'm not sure if javascript to do this would execute properfly. Anybody know the best way to accomplish a force download of a file from a captivate presentation (Captivate 6)?
TIA.

If you want to really do this so that it is consistent for all browsers, you'll need to implement this at the server level. I did this with the Dynamic PDF Export Widget. Typically, a PDF will be displayed in the browser, but I added the ability to download it instead. It does require a PHP file (or some other server side script). In the PHP file, you'll want to set the response header for Content-Disposition to "attachment"... that's the key.
The elbow grease part has to do with managing how the browser handles the link. You'll want the Captivate hyperlink to open a new window so that the student does not navigate away from your course in the current window. But since you are opening a PHP file, you can inject javascript into the document of the new window/tab to close itself. The download will still continue eventhough the window/tab was programmatically closed. However, most modern browsers will automatically close the window/tab for you when downloading a file. If you want to see an example of a PHP file that implements this, go ahead and download the trial version of the Dynamic PDF Export widget. You'll see the create.php file in the zip package.
http://captivatedev.com/2012/07/25/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-dynamic-pdf-export/
If you want to go simple as TLC Media Design suggested, just zip it and let your students unzip the xml file, or just rename the xml file with a .zip extension and tell them to rename the file back to .xml after downloading.

How do I create a Disk Image of a FILE?

How do I get Disk Utility to make a .dmg (regular or encrypted) of a single FILE, not a Folder, Disk or Device, without using a third party utility? OR are 3rd party utiities a better choice for Disk Image creation?
I've read all the "Help" info and it only covers creating a .dmg of a Folder, Disk or Device NOT an individual/single file. [Unless I'm blind]
No matter what I do only folders, disks, and devices are highlighted but all files are grayed out during any .dmg creation.
PowerBook G4 Ti 15" (400-MHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM, 80MB HD, AE, AEBS

Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

How can you create subtitles just like in movies?

Hi, I recently purchased Final Cut Pro X and I was wondering how to create subtitles just like in movies. Thanks

Does FCP X support subtitles like you see in Blu-ray or DVD? I.e. subtitles for the narrative?
I know you can put titles but subtitles would be something that needs to keep "changing".

How do you create a podcast list by adding files?

I have a site that has mp3s, but no podcasting subscription type tools (http://www.emmanuelnyc.org/sermons/index.html)
I want to download the mp3s then listen to them on my ipod touch.
How do I create a podcast group and add these files to it? I tried "add folder to library" and "add file to library" and cant' find it anywhere in itunes. Tried searching and searching... no clues.
any assistance appreciated.

The page you linked to has only MP3 files. There is no RSS feed (Podcast button), so those files cannot be downloaded "as Podcasts".
However, if you right-click any one of them you will see an option to "Save link as..." or "Save file as...", which will then allow you to download and save the MP3 onto your computer. It is not a Podcast, it is simply an MP3 file.
A Podcast is a file (usually audio or video) that has been downloaded using an RSS feed. It is the process of being downloaded as an RSS feed that defines it as a Podcast. No matter what anyone else tells you, you cannot download an MP3 file and the turn it into a Podcast.
Since the site provides no method of downloading the files in bulk, or automatically, then you will have to download each one individually. Put them all in one common folder.
To add them to your iTunes Library, in iTunes, turn on the menu bar using the CTRL+B command. Then, on the File menu is...
and using Add Folder To Library will allow you to add the files, in that folder, to your Library in one move.
Now that the files are in your Library, you still cannot "make them appear to be Podcasts". Once again, this is the case - no matter who might tell you otherwise.
But -
I'm going to assume that you do not want these files to play when you're listening to your music, especially in shuffle mode. This is often why people want to set these files as Podcasts (and various bodges have been tried in order to try and achieve this end).
The trick is to set the files to Skip when shuffling and this can be done to all the files at once. Highlight all the files in question and select File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and change the drop-down to Yes.
Now, since they are set to skip when shuffling, that's exactly what will happen. It also means that you can start (and play the whole of) each file individually and if the iPod is still in shuffle mode, it will stop at the end of each episode. To play several, or all episodes without pause, simply turn off shuffle and navigate to the first episode. They will then play one after the other.
By the way, you cannot use the custom podcast feed method that you mentioned. It's simply another bodge.

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and set-up with multiple user accounts. How do I create a path to store data files on my second drive within an application?

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and a multiple user account set-up. Hw do I create a path to store data files on the second drive within an application?

This is the Mac mini forum not the iMac forum however...
Applications written for average users like Photoshop, Word, i.e. GUI based applications provide a 'Save' dialog box which while allow selecting second drives or any drive. The dialob box initially shown might be in the simple mode but you just need to click on the triangle to show the full set of options. You should then see the different drive names amongst other options.
If your referring to an application your writing yourself then you need to build a pathname. This can be in one of two styles depending on the programming system your using. This could be a POSIX style path or a Mac style path.
POSIX = /Volumes/volname/foldername
Mac style = Volname:foldername:

How to Create a DVD from a .mov File?

I have a .mov file of a concert and I want to make a DVD out of it. Ideally, I'd like to have full menu options just like a normal DVD. From the main menu, I'd like to have two choices: 1) being able to watch the full length concert, and 2) being able to select individual songs (much like a scene selection on a regular DVD). The .mov file is in really great quality (the concert was filmed in HD) so I'd also like to keep as much quality as possible. How can I separate my .mov file into separate chapters so I can place each individual song into the menu choices? Thanks for any help!

NOt sure what you mean by "first play." I've done the tutorials on iDVD, but still can't figure it out. Is it possible to delete a movie that in the right box, i.e., previously selected? For some reason it says i've exceeded the size of the DVD even though it's only 1.8 GB. So i want to delete it and compress what i have, but i can't get rid of what's there. I suppose i could just delete the whole iDVD file and start again, or change the file name of the movie on the HD, but that seems very unMac-like.
There's nothing in the iDVD help either on "project validation" errors or how to correct other errors. But right now a simple way to delete a movie would be helpful.
Thanks
