How to get best slideshow images on DVD?

I just created a DVD using several slideshows from iPhoto. I exported these slideshows from iPhoto as "large" QT movies. These files look pretty good in iPhoto and as QT movies, but once the DVD was burned, I noticed that the compression on these movies was of a far inferior quality (as it was more compressed, I assume) to the original exported QT movie.
Since DVDs can hold far greater than the size of these .mov files, I am unclear why iDVD has to compress them so much. Is there a way to transfer these slideshows to a DVD without having some much compression? Is there a setting within iDVD? Or would it be better to import the photos and then set up the slideshow in iDVD rather than iPhoto? Or is this overall a limitation of iDVD, that is, would these .mov files look bettter if using DVD Studio Pro?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Madcow,
You'll get lots of opinions on this subject!
I think if you use the "Send to iDVD" command from within iPhoto, you get good results transferring to iDVD. People have had problems with audio, but it's a very easy and usually reliable route.
iDVD has to change the compression to MPEG2, because that's what the DVD standard requires. The resolution goes down and the file size goes up because MPEG2 is not a very effective compression scheme for stills, it was meant for full motion video. The best you can do within iDVD is to choose "best quality" in the iDVD prefs. Remember that standard video resolution is 720X480 for all DVDs, far lower than the resolution of that sideshow as "large" or when you view it on your mac from within iPhoto.
Your other options:
Build the slideshow within iDVD - probably the most reliable option.
Build the slideshow in iMovie or other apps like PhotoToMovie (my personal favorite).
Resolution on all of these options should be the same when everything works right. Be sure to use the iDVD "constrain" tool within iPhoto to size your files correctly for iDVD......

How to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???

hai, how to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???
here is the example:
<form action="uploadfile.jsp" method="post">
image<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
<%
String s=request.getParameter("image");
%>
<%=s%>
</form>
i upload the image from C:\image\center.gif. i use request.getParameter just can get the image name like "center.gif". Can anybody help me how to get the full path name. Thanks a lot..

There is no need to get the path. It is also fairly pointless as the server cannot access the client's local file system.
Carefully read this article how you can upload files the right way: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/11/multipartfilter.html

How to get muliple teaser images using assetset:getmultiplevalues?

1. I have created a template called sample and Names it as sample.jsp
2. In the subTypes i selected a pageDefinition which i created alrady with the following page attributes
     1.teaserImager 2.teaserText
     Both attributes are Multiple
3. I then created a asset HomePage of asset type Page.
4. For that HomePage i applied a template sample which i created in Step 1.
5.I added 4 teaser images and teser texts in the contributor interface
6. In eclipse i am trying to modify sample.jsp to fetch the teaser images using assetset:getmultiplevalues. But no success?
Could anybody tell me how to fetch the teaser images using getmultplevalues?
Below is the code which is not working, just for ref.
<render:logdep cid='<%=ics.GetVar("tid")%>' c="Template" />
<assetset:setasset name="home" type="Page" id='<%=ics.GetVar("cid")%>' />

Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
however it appears Quicktime X removed that capability. There is no 'open image sequence' option from the File menu in Quicktime X.
If I do end up sticking with Final Cut - would you recommend any codec and/or dimension size that would result in the best quality or the most crisp image? I also need a few fade in's and out's on various parts - I don't believe I would have the control without Final Cut.
Would resizing the image files in Photoshop to 1920 pixels by 1280 before importing them into Final Cut result in crisper images? Thanks.

How to get and display image file through servlet

If I've got a jpg file on the server..
How can I use servlet to return that image via the following calling method
/displayfile?filename=image.jpg
the image.jpg in the server will return
I know that I need to set the content type to image/jpeg
after that, how can I return the image file to browser?

- Get the "file" Parameter from the URL QueryString
- check if the File specified exists on your filesystem
- read in the jpg from the file (best would be binary)
- set the right Mime Type (as you already wrote)
- write the filecontent to the ServletOutput as you would do with any other content
- that's it.

How to get a .tif image with n different colors?

Hi..i want to know how can i get a .tif image colored by some colors. I want to do something like this:
if(tifImage.pixel < 0.1) {
tifImage.pixel = yellow;
else if( 0.1 <= tifImage.pixel && tifImage.pixel <0.5){
tifImage.pixel = red;
up to n colors.
I prove the next code, but it is not getting the colors i want.
public void generateImage(BufferedImage bi,double alto,double medio,String output){

          // Save the image on a file.
          JAI.create("filestore",tiledImage,output,"TIFF");
Thanks

I tried that. When I open one image and set the exposure, then go to open the second image, nothing happens. I then saved one image as a psd file, then it would let me open the raw file a second time. When I had both open on the same screen and dragged the layer from one into another image, the layer size ended up being different than the other file. It was shifted down and to the left. I need these images to be pixel locked, and the user experience I went through did not allow me to do this.
I also do not see a way to copy/paste layers between files.

Qosmio F30 PQF32E - How to get English version of recovery DVD

Dear All,
How to get a English version of recovery DVD disk for this model. I already have but it is in Russian. I don't want to install Russian. Want to re-install system. please if it possible assist me to find ENGLISH version of this DVD.
Please put it somewhere that i can download!
Thanks in advance,
Ilyas

You will be not able to buy an English Recovery for this notebook model.
I assume you have purchased this notebook in Russia and therefore youve got a recovery disk with Russian language.
If you want to use a Vista in English language then you have to purchase a full English Vista version and then you could install it on your notebook.
There is also an Microsoft Vista language package which allows to change the OS language but this works only with Vista Ultimate version.
Your Vista seems to be a Home Premium and therefore this will not work!

How to Get Windows 10 Image for Galileo

I purchased a Galileo gen 2 board and would like to start prototyping a project I have in mind -- but I cannot for the life of me figure out how/where to get a Win10 image for the board. I've signed up (twice) through the 'Connect' web site (and gotten
zero replies), and the links on the Connect site that talk about getting an image if you bought your board yourself just lead to a 404 error.
Any suggestions?

M-Audio Fast Track, how to get best results?

Hey guys.
I just got my M-Audio Fast Track. It seems quite cool. Not really to sure what to do with it though!
I'm using it to record guitars and vocals into GB.
So how can i set it up to get best results?
Right now I have my Audio System Preferences set to Built in Audio for In and Out, but in GB preferences I have Input set to FastTrack and Out set to Built-In...
It seems to be quite quiet, quieter than if i plug my guitar directly into the iMacs line in...?
Cheers
jim
P.S. Please don't bother writing about how I should have bought a Firewire device or anything else, I'm a cheap *** student, I bought what I could!

Jim
I have just bought one and the sound is good. I monitor sound thru my HI_FI system. The settings I have are:
1. Leave sound settings alone in system preferences.
2. In GB2 I have set input and output devices to fast track. (By the way there are no drivers available for this device - it is natively supported by OS X)
To adjust volume I have to adjust the right hand output volume knob on the front of the Fast track. My G5 system volume control has no effect on the fast track.

But, can some one tell me, how can i get the rendered formats. Through Content ID, i can able to get only the native file. I need to get the rendered image also.

how to change the image resolution?
In damconverter_baserenditions.hda file contains those details, I need to change those details like, i need to change the rendition set according to my requirement. I changed that still it is not working. Kindly suggest me something.

I need to use those rendered format image on portal.If you run a search that return also content items with multiple renditions, you will see a little camera symbol which opens RENDITION_INFO (or just call the service like http://server:port/instance/idcplg?IdcService=RENDITION_INFO&dID=X&dDocName=Y ). This will open the list of available renditions. You may copy the link to the desired rendition.

How to get best quality when exporting presentation to dvd?

I have just completed a keynote presentation with 21 slides including various movie clips.
I want to export this to Dvd where it can be played on someone elses computer and then onto a projector.
I have tried exporting it as a Quick time movie and then to idvd, however the quality seems to dimish considerably. The picture is shaky and the resolution seems rather low and grainy.
Could someone tell me how I can get this onto Dvd with the best quality possible. i.e if I change the slide size will this make a difference, or if I make the dvd interactive?
I am a completely new keynote user so I apologise for my ignorance but would appreciate any advice!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks David.
I will give that a go. I went to the Mac store on Regent street, and they were really helpful. The guy there advised me to compress the movie in quick time and then export it onto either a flash drive or ipod, which can then be transfered onto any other computer (mac or p.c) which has quick time downloaded on it. This works for me as I needed my presentation to be exported to my bosses laptop P.C.

How to get crisp jpeg images for slideshow on a Mac with Final Cut?

Hi, I imported a large number of jpegs into Final Cut Pro and when I export to Quicktime Movie (not modifying the sequence size or settings I notice the quality of the jpeg images looks rather washed out and a bit fuzzy. The image dimensions of the jpegs are actually 2848 x 4272 and I was originally using a sequence setting of 720 by 480 (which scaled the images to about 12%). I experimented with doubling the sequence setting to 1440 by 960 and scaled the images to about 25.5% - still a bit washed out look.
Basically this will be a presentation on a computer and output via projection. Looking for best possible and clearest photos. I experimented with iPhoto and when you play a slideshow it looks very crisp - this is what I am aiming for. When I export using the Slideshow export at the largest size 640 by 480 in iPhoto to quicktime - the quality seriously deteriorates.
What would be the best way to maintain the crispness of the photos in Final Cut for an export to Quicktime that would be show on a Mac via a projector? Thank you

Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html

How to get a jpeg image to a movie with best possible quality

I've got a jpeg image from my 2 megapixel digital camera and I'm playing around with converting it to a movie. Yes, its a one image movie.
+QuickTime Pro+ does a superb job when I choose H.264, 1024 kb/s, but I can't get iMovie 5.0.2 to give me the same quality. This is what I have done:
1. Create a new movie as type MPEG-4.
2. Imported the jpeg image and adjust the time from 5 seconds to about 2 seconds.
3. Select Share, choose H.264, 1024 kb/s from the relevant option and after the movie making happens, the quality is obviously inferior to that from +QT Pro+.
*QUES 1*: Why is the quality inferior?
I have been to iMovie help and noticed this comment:
"When you import clips in a format different from your project, they are converted to the video format of your movie."
*QUES 2*: Is this why my jpeg image is losing quality? Is iMovie converting it to something else?
Further, when the jpeg image is first imported, it is assigned a clip time of 5 seconds. When I move one of the sliders to reduce the time to just a few seconds, I notice that a black band appears at the top of the image in the iMovie window and as I make the time smaller, the image zooms in and the black band becomes wider. Letterboxing at the top seems to be occuring. This I can't fathom.
*QUES 3*: Why does iMovie zoom in when I adjust time?
Any comments most appreciated, especially those that tell me if iMovie can make a movie from jpeg images with the same quality as QT Pro -- and how to do that.

Re the quality -- I think I have answered this one myself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when I select a video option (DV, HD 1080 and so on), iMovie sets up a frame size to suit, and the frame size that iMovie sets up for MPEG-4 happens to be 640 x 480, thus the poor quality of my jpegs when I selected that option. The poor quality had nothing to do with the MPEG-4 format.
Now the interesting things is, MPEG-4 is not limited to 640 x 480. It can be any size. So my question is:
Ques: Can I set up a movie within iMovie that is any size I want? QT Pro gave better results because it allows any size movie at all, and thus adjusted the movie size to my jpeg size (1800 x 1200 pixels) when I imported an image from my digital camera.
As it stands, not even the highest quality option in +iMovie 5.0.2+ (HD 1080) can handle the images from my piddly-little 2 megapixel camera.
