How do I fomat a DVD RW for use in my laptop computer?

What kind of discs do I need for my recovery discs?  How many gbs. What kind are best for Recovery Discs?
I have a HP G72-261 US Notebook

Hi,
There's a full description regarding creating you Recovery Media on the following link - personally, I'd choose good quality DVD +R discs ( Verbatim, Sony etc ) and you'll often need between 4-6 discs depending on the size of your Recovery Image - the amount required will be shown when you start the process.

  • How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm) in Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm)? I would like for it to be easy so I can fold the finished product and the front cover, spine, and back cover will all be in the correct space when inserted into the DVD holder. I know there is a "create DVD cover" option in Photoshop Elements 12, and I've tried that, however the dimensions never come out correctly. Can anyone help? Thank you!

  • How do I format a DVD copy for multi-zone or Zone 1?

    How do I format a DVD copy for multi-zone or Zone 1?
    Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.3
    I have to send a DVD copy to a festival. They need it formatted for multi-zone or for Zone 1 (North America). How can I make sure it's formatted like that?

    I don't claim direct experience with that, but I *believe* (as in "I could be wrong, but")  that if you burn a DVD from inside FCP X, the program will take a clue from the frame rate of your project: a 25fps project will produce a PAL DVD, a 29.97 will do NTSC.

  • Internal SATA DVD burners for use with Encore

    I want to buy a SATA internal DVD burner for use with Encore (on Windows XP). I've carefully reviewed the list of Adobe approved Encore-compatible DVD burners and the list seems to only include IDE and external (USB/Firewire) devices. Is there ANY SATA internal DVD burner that is certified to work with Encore?

    Not that I know of, but since they appear as normal IDE devices, the procedure should be very much the same. It's more a matter of how reliably the driver for the burner translates the commands, I'd guess.

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • How can I get a boot-disk for a Compaq P2500 laptop Windows XP Home Edition?

    I'm already in another forum with a eerily similar question, but that's for the HP Media Center Pavilion m8000e desktop system (Windows Vista Home Premium) I was just given; I've ordered a new hard drive for that. I assume the directions to create a boot disk with the *.iso file (using Imgburn) is going to work; I have the 25-digit code for that.
    This question here now is for my wife's older Compaq P2500 2596US laptop running Windows XP Home Edition. This too needs a new hard drive, but I also am missing the boot disc for this; I do have the 25-digit product code.
    How can I get a boot disk for this laptop? I tried the Ubuntu method outlined in a few posts; geez, what a headache ... never could get it managed. Does HP not make any boot disks available? Microsoft told me to check with HP.
    I can furnish the product code; model #; serial# ... gee, maybe the oroginal receipt is even laying around somewhere ...
    I need a boot disk to get the new hard drive up on board (if I end up ordering that).
    Thanks for any help!

  • How to unlock iPhone 4s from Verizon for use on AT

    How do I unlock a iPhone 4s that is from Verizon so I can use it on the AT&T network? My daughter's phone got wet and won't work. We tried her sim card in my wife's iPhone and it worked fine so we borrowed a iPhone from a friend for her to use until her upgrade is available. The borrowed iPhone is a 4s and is from the Verizon network and we are on the At&t network. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Verizon iPhone 4S can only be unlocked by Verizon for use on non US carriers. It can not be used on any US carrier other than Verizon.

  • How to pass parameters to an XSL for use in a transform (JSP/XSLT)?

    I have an XSL: style.xsl
    I have an XML: data.xml
    I want to do an XSL Transform on data.xml, using style.xsl, with parameter
    Language=en
    With Saxon you would do:
    saxon data.xml style.xsl Language=en
    But how would I do this with WL6.x, using the JSP XSLT tag:
    <x:xslt [xml="uri of XML file"]
    [media="media type to determine stylesheet"]
    [stylesheet="uri of stylesheet"]
    <x:xml>In-line XML goes here
    </x:xml>
    <x:stylesheet [media="media type to determine stylesheet"]
    [uri="uri of stylesheet"]
    </x:stylesheet>
    </x:xslt>
    Thanks

    There is currently no way to do this from the jsp xslt tag. I have filed an
    issue because this is available in the JAXP 1.1 API. If you need this
    functionality in the current version you will need to use the JAXP API
    directly.

  • How Do I Detemine Maximum DVD Time For A PCM Audio DVD

    I have been working with my CS2 Premiere to create some auto play, audio-only DVDs that are autoplay.  To clear the air, yes I know that CS4 will permit 24bit-96 kHz.  For the time being 16 bit-48 kHz will suffice as it has CD quality  The bonus that a DVD format provides a greater playing times.  So the object is to make a PCM audio only DVD.
    Here is my problem: How to get really long playing time.  I know I can make high quality, 2-channel (ordinary stereo)  DVD-A's up to 3 hours using Minatonka Bronze.  Unfortunately, DVD-A discs are worthless as they cannot play in 90% of DVD players, but they prove the time point.  I would think that one should be able to make a conventional DVD, but with the PCM sound format of that same length.
    I just finished one that fit with a 103 minute, 16/48 stereo audio file of 1.11 GB size.   I also had a video file that I created using several photos. Sorry, don't have the final video file size.  I erased it all from my computer.  However, the final disc size was 3.754 GB.  A little extrapolation suggests a maximum DVD length of 119 minutes.  That with simple video and PCM audio.  Now, can one make a similar DVD with 150 minutes?
    I had three 48 kHz files that I created in Adobe Audion.  They were 1.599, 0.911, and 0.974 GBs in size.  That added up to 3.480.  The playing time is about 2:30 Hours; quite a bit less than 3 hours.   I tried burning a DVD with these, audio-files-only.  I checked lowest quality video, used no video, and got an Export To DVD error that I had "insufficient" space on the 4.7 GB disc!  So, I used the two latter files, which added to only 1.884 GB.  Premiere did not baulk, and it successfully burned a DVD that played.  Then I added the 1.599 GB file, and, once again, it produced an error.  This was clearly not going to work.
    At this point, I realized that Audition had done what it liked to do: It had saved the 16 bit-48 kHz files as 32 bit-48 kHz!  So, I went back to Audition and used EDIT to change the files to genuine 16 bit-48 kHz files.  When I opened them in Premiere, Premiere reported 16 bit-48 kHz files.  Their sizes were now, 0.799, 0.456, and 0.487 GB.  Please note that this totals 1.742 GB.  This is less than the 1.884 GB I had successfully used before.   Once again, I was getting the "insufficient" space error.
    I searched the CS2 Premiere manual and its index, but cannot really find any way to calculate maximum times, or squeezing the most out.  So, anybody got some ideas?
    Mike

    When working from DVD-Videos, this ARTICLE might be helpful - All VOB's (the container for the MPEG-2 files in a DVD-Video) are not created equally.
    Most DVR's write a VOB 01, that is not up to the DVD-specs. That can create a problem for PrE (and also PrPro), and if you have issues, please do follow Neale's advice.
    Good luck and welcome to the forum.

  • How to convert a DVD disc for use in Final Cut Express 3.5

    I have a DVD disc of a conference which I would like to edit in FCE 3.5.
    I would like to be able to import it into my FCE project, ad use it without having to the render it in FCE.
    Is it possible to rip or import the disc (with Handbrake?) and then export the resulting file so it can be used in FCE. I am especially keen that when the file is imported, it doesn't have to then be rendered. I have had a number of problems with QuickTime files being imported to FCE where they then need to be rendered in the timeline before I can use them.
    If anyone can suggest the following I would be very appreciative:
    1/ how to import the DVD disc- Handbrake?- what settings are best to use? MPEG4, H.264...
    2/ once imported to my Mac Pro, how do I convert it for easy use in FCE.
    Just to show you that I did try this before posting to this forum, I tried the following:
    1/ imported as a h.264 file with Handbrake (2hr video created a 2GB file)
    2/ opened this file in an app called "MPEG Streamclip" and exported the file as a QuickTime file, and set as "Apple DV".
    3/ BUT... the resulting file reached 17GB and then when imported to FCE, it couldn't be played in the timeline until I rendered it first- I didn't start this as it would have taken hours and hours!!
    Any help or tips would be great
    Thanks,
    Simon

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    VisualHub (23.32$)
    Drop2DV (free)
    Cinematize >60$
    Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

  • How do I set default dvd drive for burning

    I am looking for a way to set a default dvd writer.
    The system I am working on has multiple writers attached (one is a duplicator).
    Unfortunately, the software or OS seems to latch on to the most recently added drive.
    In one instance it defaulted to a removable backup drive we attached.
    I have been getting around this by using the "build and burn" option then using the drop down box to select the proper DVD writer.
    Is there a way to set a default and eliminate this step and the confusion that results when people instinctively click "burn" and the machine tries to write to improper locations?
    Thanks for your help, this has been a thorn in my side for quite some time.

    Well not what I wanted to hear but thanks for confirming what I had found to be true. Would still like to hear if anyone has any creative workarounds.

  • How can I edit a DVD Template for Premiere Elements 10?

    In previous versions of Premiere Elements, I would edit DVD Templates using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to include my logo and change the color or tint of the background. Now, I can only see the Fun template in the DVD Templates folder. I want to modify the Extreme Sports template, but can't find it now. Where are all the other templates located?

    Install the excellent 'Search Everything' utility and enter 'extreme' as a search term. Note that when you first run 'Everything' it takes time to index your drive(s). After that though it is a nearly instantaneous start.
