How to preseve resolution when creating an iDVD

I have movie that i made in photo-to-movie. It is DV format 1280x720. Looks great when viewed via QT player. I created a widescreen iDVD project and set the prefs to high quality. When I play the DVD on the TV it look a bit fuzzy.
Can I imporve this. My TV accepts 720p, my DVD player outputs 720p, and my original movie is 720. It seems that by passing it thru iDVD it looses the clarity.
This seems to be a frequent question, I just haven't found anything that say that iDVD can only produce low res 480 DVDs. Is this true?
I'm using iDVD 6. 50 gb free on the startup drive. OS X 10.4.10
Thanks

Let's face facts: the standard definition (SD) DVDs we can produce today ARE LOW RESOLUTION DEVICES.
NTSC disc are less than 640x480 pixels (in still digital image square pixel terms) - that about 0.3 megapixels.
If you produce widescreen DVDs today, on compression your content is squeezed in to the SD size and then expanded on playback.
Sorry, but that's the way things are.
If you want to show a slideshow to a group, the best way is play it on your computer and use a video projector.
Not too many years ago we were all thinking how great it was we could finally produce our own SD DVDs. Now we want more. One of these years - when the true HD DVD system finally end up with one winning approach - and the equipment prices come down, we'll be able to make some form of HD DVD.

How to choose 'Source' when creating requisition in iProcurement?

Hi,
When creating requisition in PO module, you can choose 'Source' to be either 'Inventory' or 'Supplier'.
But in iProcurement, how can I choose 'Source'?
Thanks

hi leo,
In the item master form Plz check purchased and purchasable check box in purchasing tab and internal ordered and internal orders enabled in order management tab. make sure the item is assigned to particular (requesting) organization for which shipment is delivering to.
once you select the item and click to select source, you can select the source both internal or external in the next step as following......

How to get text when creating invoice

Hi Experts,
As standard system behavior, when creating invoice the item description is retrieved from material description in master data. Now we want to use sales text in material master for invoice item description, can we do this?
Thank you in advance.
Richard

hi richard
yes this is possible.
you will have to pass this parameters under function module called READ_TEXT for desired output.
NAME = MVKE-MATNR & MVKE-VKORG & MVKE-VTWEG - to read for which sales orgn/distribution channel/division you have to pass the value.
LANGUAGE = 'EN' - in which language you have to pass the same.
ID = 0001
OBJECT = MVKE - table
if both are there
material description and material sales text then
you have to write a condition there.

FCP X 10.6 how to change resolution after creating a project??

Hello Everybody!
Im a fairly new FCP X user and trying to do my best to understand everything.
My problem is that im working on a project where i have most of the video shot in 1280 x 720 29.97fps resolution, i also have some pictures, titles and graphics, but when i check the general properties of the project it says 640 x 480 29.97fsp. I guess when i started the project this setting was selected instead of 1280 x 720 and i didnt noticed. So my question is, How can i change the resolution from 640 x 480 to 1280 x 720 after the project is already started on
the Timeline???
I dont want to render the project on that resolution at the end since its very low, so i REALLY need to find a way to increase the resolution.
Thanks in advance!

The only way that I can imagine that you could have inadvertently created a 640X480 sequence is that one of your pictures or graphics is that size and must have been the first clip you dropped on the timeline.
If your sequence (project) is actually 640X480, then only clips of that size would perfectly fill the frame. Your 720 clips would appear as letterboxed and whatever other clip sizes you had would be displayed differently yet.
Now that you have resized your project resolution to 720, the upside is that your HD clips should now fill the the frame. But those 640X480 clips now should appear pillarboxed because they are a different aspect ratio.. You could simply leave it at that; I do it all the time – usually with a color matte as a background. If you dislike the pillarbox (and lots of people do), then go into the inspector and try the Fill Spatial Conform option. Depending on the image, that may or may not produce a better result. If it doesn't, work with scale and position in Tranform until you get what you need.

How to set units when creating paths with a script?

I'm trying to update a script that used to work in Photoshop CS4 but which seems to completely ignore the units I'm using in Cloud. The script below should create a path layer with two lines that form an X across the entire document.
To test, I'm creating a new page that's 8.5 x 11 inches and 300 DPI. I then run the script. However, the the shape that is produced is huge and most of it is offscreen. What am I doing wrong?
function Point(x, y)
          this.x = x;
          this.y = y;
function addVertexCorner(lineArray, x, y)
          var p0Info = new PathPointInfo();
          lineArray.push(p0Info);
          p0Info.kind = PointKind.CORNERPOINT;
          p0Info.anchor = new Array(x, y);
          p0Info.leftDirection = p0Info.anchor;
          p0Info.rightDirection = p0Info.anchor;
function appendLine(p0, p1, lineSubPathArray)
          var lineArray = new Array();
          addVertexCorner(lineArray, p0.x, p0.y);
          addVertexCorner(lineArray, p1.x, p1.y);
          var pathInfo = new SubPathInfo();
          lineSubPathArray.push(pathInfo);
          pathInfo.operation = ShapeOperation.SHAPEADD;
          pathInfo.closed = false;
          pathInfo.entireSubPath = lineArray;
function createPathLayer(title, subPathArray)
          var docRef = app.activeDocument;
          var originalUnit = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
          app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
          var myPathItem = docRef.pathItems.add(title, subPathArray);
          app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit;
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var imgWidth = docRef.width.as("px");
var imgHeight = docRef.height.as("px");
var p00 = new Point(0, 0);
var p10 = new Point(imgWidth, 0);
var p01 = new Point(0, imgHeight);
var p11 = new Point(imgWidth, imgHeight);
var lineSubPathArray = new Array();
appendLine(p00, p11, lineSubPathArray);
appendLine(p01, p10, lineSubPathArray);
createPathLayer("Big X", lineSubPathArray);

I did, andd while that did help to center the image on the page, now all my measurements are coming out about 4 times too small. I'm also worried that changing the resolution might cause the image to lose some data due to resizing.
What exactly does changing the resolution do? Why does this center things? How can I calculate points so that they exactly touch the edge of the document?

Poor resolution when burning in IDVD

I'm trying to create a slide show using ken burns effects, transitions, music and then burn to a dvd to share with family. I was told the best way to do this is to create the slide show in I-movie, share it to I-dvd, and then burn it. When playing back the dvd on my computer or in a dvd player hooked up to my tv, the video (images) are horrible. The images have ripples in them. I use the highest quality encoding in the project info tab. When viewing the slide show in i-movie, it looks great. I'm using dvd+r discs. Any thoughts on how to fix this or is that the best I can do with i-dvd? I've noticed in this forum that other people seem to be experiencing the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I'd mention a few things...
1) Sometimes using high def pictures causes problems. The solution, to help prevent flicker for instance, is to use a "guassian blur" of about 5 pixels in photoshop. I assume aperature allows you to blur. Reducing the sharpness just slightly can help a great deal with some issues. Take a good look at your current project. Are there some photos which look better than others? If so, take note of those qualities. Sometimes light, color, texture, contrast, lens length make big differences for me. After doing this a while, you almost develop a sixth sense as to which photos will be problematic.
2) Look at the speed with which are using the KB effect. KB will look a lot better if it's done slowly. Of course it's not as interesting but it reduces problems.
3) Save as a disc image first, to make sure the problem is not in the burning or in the disc. Most in this forum recommend dvd -r for the final burn. Verbatim are very popular. And burn at 4x or less.
4) I have tried photo to movie, and it's a nice app. I did find the colors grayed out, however. If you use photo to movie, you'll want to punch up the color in photoshop (aperature) before importing into photo to movie. I prefer imovie 6 myself.
I hope these comments are helpful. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

COPA - How to add table when create new characteristic

Hi all,
I want to create new characteristic in COPA, that is batch (as currently, FG's price is manged by batch).
I find that this value is maintain in table VBRP. However, when I create new characteristic, I dont is this table in current list.
Please tell me how can I add this table ?
Step by step what I did is:
1.KEA5: create new characteristic
2. enter characteristic name
3. choose "transfer from SAP table"
4. because it doesnt have table VBRP in the this, so I type directly "Table Fields --> Table"
5. Systems show mesg "Enter valid reference table"
Please tell me how can I add this table ?

Hi Emily,
Pls check the SAP Note 111232 which gives similar solution that of you are looking for...
Follow the procedure...
Please create a characteristic by transferring it from table VBRP and
then change the automatically from system defined TKEZU entries like
the note 111232 explains.
The way to solve the problem would be to change the assignment
table TKEZU by exchanging VBRP with KOMP in the table name:
(1) Delete the following entry in table TKEZU (you can maintain TKEZU
with view V_TKEZU in transaction SM30):
Characteristic, B Tran, Table, Field name, Offset, Length
(2) Add the following entry to table TKEZU:
Characteristic, B Tran, Table, Field name, Offset, Length
XXXXX KEDR KOMP BWTAR
(3) Generate the environment of your operating concern.
Pls revert with result...

I too just tried to shuffle all the photos in a new slidehsow and the "Shuffle Slide Oer" is grayed out and does NOT allow me to select this very, very important option!!!

How to pass parameter when create view link

Hi,
I used R12 to implement OAF. I create a VO with paramenter such as SELECT item_code,parent_item_code,month_budget_id
FROM cux_ce_month_budget_lines_t
where month_budget_id=:1
But when I create VL for this VO. It seems the parameter :1 can not be passed.
Could some one to help lookinto this?
Best Regards,
Eileen

You donot need to pass parameter while creating the View Link. Once the view link is created then you assign the bind parameter to the master VO and execute the View link. The Child VO would automatically be executed.

How does iPhoto sort when creating a photo book

My problem. When I create a photo book in iPhoto, it sorts in random. I have by date selected, and I need the pictures to flow based on the date.
Where am I missing it?

You can not - they are soreted by date
-- the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort -- I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

How to understand passwords when creating business...

I have used Skype Manager to set-up business accounts for all my colleagues.
In the process I had to give each member a password.
What happens if a colleague changes this password? Do I then loose the Skype Manager control of the account?
Or does the account work with two different passwords - a Skype Manager password and a profile password?

Or rather, when I try to run the create index statement I get the following error:
ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified
Any ideas why this is happening?

How to skips holidays when creating reoccuring events?

We're a school. And we use ical to keep track of class schedules. We have our classes twice a week and sometimes they fall on holidays. We have our class schedules set up in ical as "Reoccuring Events." How do you have reoccuring events skip holidays?

Although iCal's mechanism for creating recurring events does not support it, iCal itself respects the excluded dates option, if it finds it. So, one possibility would be to create the recurring event, then drag the first occurrence to the Desktop and delete it from iCal. Then use TextEdit (or similar) to add a line after the RRULE line for each excluded date (or put several dates on the one line, separated by commas). Drop the edited file back onto iCal.
A couple of cautions: don't just make a new line, or it upsets iCal - copy and paste and edit an existing one. The time portion of the excluded dates MUST match the time portion of the DTSTART, or iCal will quietly ignore it. In the example below, I have omitted the time zone info that will come before the VEVENT.

The EXDATE line was added by copying, pasting and modifying the DTEND line; it causes the 1st and 3rd of July to be omitted from the recurrence. But note that there will now only be 8 occurrences, rather than the 10 initially specified.
Alternatively, you could write an Applescript to generate the recurring events; that is probably an even bigger pain.

How to test php when creating in DW CS4

I am a bit confused. Here is my set up:
I have DW CS4 on my laptop and I am developing a site for a
client. I have a local copy and I have set up a remote folder using
FTP and utilize this mainly to put my pages on the server.
I do have dynamic content, primarily PHP and up until
yesterday I was able to view these pages using "Preview in Browser"
or Live View. (On a side note, I do not remember how I set this up
before). Well, today I installed IE 8 to start testing on that and
now all of a sudden I cannot use Live View or Preview In Browser
feature anymore. It keeps asking me to set up a testing server and
if I choose not to, all I get is the source code displaying.
I have no problem setting up PHP on my Laptop, but never had
