How do you determine file being used in DVD map?

Hi
On older idvd projects I sometimes want to check what version of a movie file it is using. I can't figure out how to reveal the information. Specifically, I'm looking for exact name of file being used and its location.
Thank you for your help
Phil

You can find that information from within the iDVD project. Open the iDVD project in question. Under the menu bar, select Project Info. You will then see a screen containing information about that project. There is a screen showing all the Media used, with the path to each movie, audio, or photo used in the project. The path begins with the drive on which the movie is located and then each folder/file.
By the way, you do know that an iDVD project is like an alias collection. The actual media are not stored within the project, only information pointing to the actual media files. When you burn a DVD, iDVD gathers the media files temporarily for the burn.
If you rename, move, change or delete any media used within a project, iDVD will be unable to locate the files and will not open properly. Many people have mistakenly saved only an iDVD project, deleting the original iMovies used in it, and have been sadly disappointed to find that the iDVD project no longer has the movie files.
If you wish to save drive space but save your iDVD projects for burning later, you should create a disk image file by doing 'save as disc image' from within your iDVD project. This process looks just like a burn, and the encoding takes just as long, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. The disk image file is self-contained; that is, all the media files used in the project are encoded into the disk image file. So now you have a disk image file of your project that can be saved, moved, used to burn DVD disks at any time.
You can safely delete the original iMovie project and the original iDVD project without losing the capability of burning more DVDs of the project.
I have disk image files of all the iDVD projects I have made. I store them on external drives as backups.

  • How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

    Can someone please help me with this query:
    How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
    I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
    It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

    Hi Amila1,
    Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
    If so is the Preview pane turned ON?

  • How do you determine when to use a LAN or a PUBLIC IP for connections?

    I'm using CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost to connect to a server.
    I have a public IP address of example.dyndns.com which points to my home office router.
    On my home office router I forward port 1234 to a specific server (192.168.2.55)
    That specific server runs a service offering data etc. to an iPhone app.
    When I am away from the office I user CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost to connect to example.dyndns.com.
    No problem. Connection is made and everything runs lovely.
    When I am in the office and on the lan however - the connection fails. Basically the packet goes out to the router, or to dyndns, u turns and comes back but doesn't get forwarded to 192.168.2.55.
    If I change the code to point to 192.168.2.55 of course it runs fine, but then won't run when I am not on wifi in the office of course.
    Is there an elegant way to deal with this? The router has no configurable options that I am able to identify to allow this u-turn type of traffic.
    I could I suppose on startup test a connection, then in the stream event handler flip it from WAN to LAN IP on a failure. But that's very combersome - it doesn't easily allow an office user to drop in and out of the office wifi transparently (sure they could kill then restart the app but that's just plain ugly).
    Any feedback/sample code people can offer would be appreciated. :-)

    That is a reasonable approach. Without changing network configuration, I don't see an alternative. A few considerations:
    Based on your experience, will the length of time to detect unreachability (a network timeout?) cause a usability issue?
    Must you support a scenario where a user transitions LAN-to-WAN or WAN-to-LAN while using the app?
    If this is used by a wide audience, will configuring the primary/fallback be straightforward?
    I don't think there's a usability issue.
    Yes. The app is designed for a brick/mortor location that essentially wants to drive the user to the location. The user has to ability to interact with specific hardware components at the location via server/port communications - some of which they can do while they are remote. While they are on location, they need to retain that ability to interact with local equipment even more. Users could be asked to not go on the location wifi of course but that just seems silly and an overall bad user experience.
    The primary/fallback configuration should all be done within code (no user interaction). For example the WAN IP will always be X.X.X.X (be it Public IP or dyndns - makes no difference), while the LAN configuration will always know that the lan server it needs to communicate will always be at a specific LAN IP (192.168.x.x).
    It would be  godsend to have some sort of API call (or class) that can accept a call to CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost to a specific IP and on seeing that it's unreachable automatically try the secondary IP before returning a failure on the stream.

  • I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

    I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear,like on soundcloud or other websites, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

    From the LOGIC STUDIO SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT   :
    C. Except as otherwise indicated, you may use the Apple and third party audio file content (including, but not limited to, the Apple Loops, built-insound files, samples and impulse responses) (collectively the “Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on aroyalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your ownsoundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual Apple loops, audio files, sound settings, samples and impulse responsesmay not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, soundfiles, sound effects or music beds.
    This means, you can use all Apple Loops in your music, they're royality-free.

  • Ques;How  do you secure imail when used being used in iweb. People can mess

    How do you secure imail when used being used in iweb? People can mess w/my settings in iweb imail window.

    What is iMail?
    And what is an iWeb iMail window?
    iWeb is part of iLife 06 which is an application used to create websites hosted on .Mac.
    Are you referring to Apple's Mail application and webmail access using a browser such as Safari to access your .Mac account?
    Which people can mess with what settings? You shouldn't allow anyone else to access your Mac when logged in to your account and home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users of the same Mac with each regular user having their own computer login account (with or without admin privileges) and associated home folder/directory to store and access their data and settings for their login account only.

  • How do you determine transportation planning point

    Hi Gurus,
    Badly need your help.  How do you determine transportation planning point?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Dear John
    It is based on routes and route schedules are determined based on the following conditions:-
    => Shipping point
         Where are the goods coming from?
    => Ship-to party and unloading point
         Where are the goods going to?
    => Shipping condition
         How are the goods being shipped?
    => Transportation group
         Which goods are shipped?
         --> For example, which type of goods?
    => Calendar week / year
          When are the goods to be shipped?
    If you do not explicitly enter the week and the year, the entry applies for each calendar week. If you enter a week and a year, the route schedule only applies for this week.
    You can only use route schedules if you have maintained the working times and therefore at least one of the following times in minutes:
           -> Transportation planning time
           -> Pick/pack time
           -> Loading time
           -> Transit time
    A route schedule can leave the warehouse exactly once in a week. If a route schedule runs several times, either on several days or several times a day, it must be copied to another route schedule.
    Thanks

  • How do you determine the optimal size for Mozilla Firefox?

    How do you determine the optimal size for cache in Mozilla
    Firefox? I am using Firefox 7.0.1 on a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate operating system with 3GB RAM and 300 GB hard drive, but I have other computers running Windows XP. If the answer doesn't apply to all current versions of Firefox on all supported Windows operating systems, please explain the differences. Is there a formula for calculating the best cache size?

    I found that the best idea is to let Firefox decide that itself.

    That is a supported format,
    Pull the battery while the device is ON, replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min,
    see if the problem is fixed,
    If not we may have to reload the device OS to get back the missing option.

  • How do you Determine the Largest Size/Fastest Speed Hard Drive

    In general, how do you determine the maximum hard drive size/speed you can upgrade to?

    As long as the drive your are considering physically fits as already stated there is no maximum size you can install. Please complete your profile so we know what machine you have.
    If your machine is covered by a warranty or AppleCare I would recommend against installing another HD as this may invalidate the warranty. I would recommend in that case using a Firewire 800 external HD instead.

  • How do you determine resolution for a given print size in LR?

    CS3 displays image resolution for a given size. How do you determine what that resolution is in LR for a given print size, so you know whether you should upsize or downsize for optimum print resolution range?

    The only way I know of is to work it out. LR and PS make assumptions that are often not ideal (although the differences may not be noticable). Different printers like different resolutions per inch. For example, I once had an Olympus Dye Sub printer that produced awful prints unless the file was exactly 314 ppi. Not 300, 314. 300ppi looked awful. 314 looked amazing. Many Canon inkjets prefer 300ppi files and most of the better Epson's prefer 360ppi. Lambda printer like 400ppi files.
    So find out what the printer likes, and in LR enter that number into the printer dialog. I believe the LR engine interpolates the file based on this and the image size on paper you choose to produce a file of the best size.
    Having said all that with most modern domestic and prosumer inkjets the difference is pretty negligable.

  • How much memory are actually being used? db_32k_cache_size

    Hi everyone,
    Using Oracle 10g on RHEL 5.3.
    I've been asked to check how much memory are actually being used by our db cache's. Currently we are using the parameters db_32k_cache_size (user-defined) and db_8k_cache_size (default) both allocated with 12gb. Now I want to know if there is any way to find out how much of the 12gb are actually being used by the cache.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Thanks Guys,
    Okay, so it is using the whole 12gb. I guess the next question would be, is 12gb really needed? You see, we are trying to increase memory where possible as this database has performance issues. Now we are thinking of taking some of the 12gb that is allocated to the 32k cache and assign it to the sga for instance.
    Does this make any sense?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Why do you want to use LDAP for Hard disk monitoring..???
    U can do this by creating a MD5 checksum for all the files existing in some
    perticular
    directory and every hour or any configurable period u can recalculate the
    checksum
    to find out the change in the content.
    I guess all u need is to get the code for "updatedb" utility of Linux and
    instrument it for ur needs..
    Hope it helps...

  • HT201209 How do you determine the funds left on an itunes card?

    How do you determine the funds left on an itunes card?

    If it hasn't been redeemed, the value is the face value.
    If it was redeemed, the value on the card is zero. 
    When you redeem an iTunes gift card, the full value is immediately transferred as a credit to the account you are using when you do the redemption.  After that point, the card is worthless.

  • Can't get shuffle to update says files being used

    i cant update says files being used by other application,i just bought this there is no other application being used.im about to return it

    If you have some utility that runs in the background and monitors mounted volumes, such as anti-malware software, you may want to disable it while doing the update.  Or, if you can set it to ignore the iPod's "disk" (not monitor it), that may work.
    Restart your computer.  Immediately run iTunes and connect the shuffle.  Try to do the update again.
    In case that does not work, do you use a Mac or Windows?  If it's Windows, what version?
