How to create a DVD that can play on a computer

I've finally become familiar with using Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore. When I'm creating a DVD I understand that it will be played on any standard DVD player but I would also like to have it play on a computer. Is there a setting which will allow this to happen?
I've tried playing it on my PC as well as another, but nothing happens.
Have I overlooked something?
Thank you.

Persius,
Nearly every DVD that will play on a set-top player *should* play on a computer, provided two things:
1.) the computer has a DVD player that can handle that flavor of DVD media, DVD RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD DL, etc.
2.) the computer has a software player installed. This feature has been removed from some common media players. You may need to locate, download and install a separate software player.
There could be another discussion on interlaced vs progressive scan media, but I'll let you ask that question.

How to Best Create a DVD that will play on BOTH Mac and Windows

Hello - Looking for some direction. How can I create an iDVD DVD that will play on both Mac & Win? I can not find a solution that will accomplish this. What I did was create an .img then burned to DVD. This plays fine on my Mac & on home stereo DVD but not on a windows machine. The Windows machine can "read" the DVD fine but WIndows Media Player can not play it. Do I need to have folks use a special player on WIndows? Is there another format the I should have iDVD output? I need to send some DVDs to college coaches for my son and am trying to do this the best way without knowing what platform (Mac or WIn) they will be using. What is the best approach?
Thanks in advance for your help,
David

Hi
There are two ways to burn a DVD.
• as a Data-DVD (eg including a video.img file or any data)
• as a Video-DVD
A. Data DVD is what You creat by just popping in a DVD disk and OK to format it.
B. Video-DVD - You make from within iDVD and insert thed DVD WHEN iDVD asks for it
(OR - Via Disk Util tool - Still introduced when asked to do it !)
(or via Roxio Toast™ - STILL not inserted until asked to do this)
So what You've done is a Data-DVD with Your movie as an .img file on it.
• Can only be playbacked on Your Mac
Open "Disk Util tool"
Then on Dasktop - Double click the .img file so that it creates a fake DVD disk
Then in "Disk Util tool" - select it and click the Burn (Nuclear) button
THEN insert a new DVD WHEN asked to do this.
NOW ! ! Select a lower Burn Speed eg 4xDVD - This will result in a DVD with few burn errors and
a PC will read it easier !
Use of quality DVD brand is also important - I use Verbatim
I use DVD-R
Good Luck - Bengt W

How to create BI templates that can appear on Blackberries

Hello,
I am trying to create web templates that will appear on some BI users' blackberries. They use Blackberry models 8110 and 8520. Using the Blackberry simulator for testing, I have managed to get the web templates to appear on the Blackberry screen.
Unfortunately, I cannot display output in a table or graph format. Right now all I get is a line by line text display. I also cannot get variable screens to appear. We are using BI version 3.5 to create the templates. I understand it is not possible to use BW 7 for this purpose.
Does anyone know of any tricks or techniques to get table or graphical web template output to appear on a Blackberry screen?

How to make a DVD that will play on a DVD player if I don't have iDVD

How do I make a DVD that will play on a DVD player if I don't have iDVD?

First you will need a video DVD authoring applicaiton like iDVD. If you have iDVD export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
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 quality 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.
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 retailer 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.

How to create a vi that can be connected to any type of array

I would enjoy to create a vi that can perform an operation (like resizing) on any type of array (array of string, of cluster, of num,...): Which type of control or indicator could I use for this purpose? Any Idea?
Thank's for your help

Olivier,
to do this you have to use a variant input. You can wire any type of data to a variant input. Inside the VI you flatten the variant to a string. The flattened string of an array contains both data and length of the array. You reshape the array manipulating the string. When done, you unflatten the data to a variant and output it from the VI. The caller has to convert the variant input to the source array type. OpenG.org provides a quite extensive toolkit to manipulate variant data. Some VIs specifically manipulates arrays. To see a description of VIs go to : http://opengtoolkit.sourceforge.net/lvdata/index.html
LabVIEW Data Tools can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengtoolkit/
You need both packages lvdata AND error.

With iDVD, how can I create a DVD that auto plays on insert and then loops?

I want to burn a presentation using idvd which will be played at an exhibition. how do I create a dvd without menu that auto plays upon insert and then loops?

To create a OneStep DVD:
Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
Insert a recordable DVD disc.
iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
------------or-------------
To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
Thanks for your help.

For Blu-Ray creation:
I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

How to create a latch that can latch the input data for 50ms?

Now I have some data come from the sensor. I want to latch this data for 50 ms and then reset it to 0. Does anybody do this before? Thank you

Now I am using the "two button dialog" to create a dialog box. After the dialog box pop up, I choose "yes" the "two button dialog" will output a "True". My problem is that this "True" disapear too fast. My while loop frequency is only 20Hz. And I want to send this "True" value to somewhere. However the two "button dialog" will clear this "True" after 10ms?. So I always got a "false" value. How to "Freeze" this dialog box output value for at least 50ms? How to create a latch to hold this value?
