What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive?
Thanks

It matters little. The slower the burn speed, i.e. 2x or 4x, the better the burn.
What is important is the brand of media: most of here recommend Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden.

What FireWire disk should I use in FCP 5?

Up until now I have used LaCie d2 FW-disk, with no errors.
However, a while ago one of the disks trashed the file table, rendering the disk unusuable. Thanks to DataRecovery II I managed to get some of the files back, but much of the footage was gone.
No good.
So, I'm thinking if there are other video disk that are recommended by you guys. We are capturing Beta SP and editing in DV.

G-Tech - G-Raid, as Shane said - although I've used a LaCie Big Disk 500GB for over two years now - without so much as a hiccup.
My 1TB G-Raid's sweet as a nut though.

What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

Thanks so much. I downloaded Acrobat XI. It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi). Hope this is not a problem.

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

What chat service should I use?

I want to chat with someone on a pc/webcam. Should I use YahooChat? I want to have both audio and video chat. The PC is not a .mac member, so I can't use iChat, right?

What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only. I have two questions:
1. What should I use for the sequence settings? Should I edit with a HD sequence setting?
2. I am going to scan the pics myself. What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality? I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

What email program should I use?

I have Safari 1.3.2 which I assume is the final upgrade for 10.3. I changed my browser to Firefox because of some of the problems with Safari. I was a long user of Netscape, including their email program. I want to keep Panther as my operating system. Should I use the Safari 1.3.2 for email? Want would you recommend for email, something different?

Hi again,
Yes, the Navigator Composer/Mail bundle... it's a good one if you like it. Has a lot of extra's to it. If you want to check out others, have you tried the one that comes with MacOSX? It's simply called Mail. It's the one I use now... it's simple, has some extra's and is all I need. Some like Microsoft Entourage which comes with the new Mac as a trial and is bundled with the Microsoft Office Suite... if you have that bundle. I find it has much more then I want to be a simple program, maybe some office types could use all that stuff, but I don't.
Camino is just a browser. SeaMonkey is the Mac version of Netscape... it has all the elements of Navigator... composer, mail, browser and with all the same icons... it is just more Mac-Friendly then Navigator can be. This one would be worth a look if you are used to Netscape (since Netscape is now without support and has been acquired by AOL), and SeaMonkey is still going and improving.
A stand alone mail program called ThunderBird on the Mozilla web-site is also an alternative if you want something different to try out. I have given it a look, but again it has too many bells and elements for my simple use style.
So, I have grown used to Mail which is a natural for this Mac... works well, simple and yet some bell's to enhance with. But, you, can now give some others a look/feel and see what you think.
Enjoy

What File Extension Should I Use

I'm new to websites. I have been adding documents to our organizations website (thesoba.com). Usually I will use pdf documents, but one of the documents (points) is taking a long time to load. That document keeps getting bigger and bigger each month. I think that it's loading about 18 pages. I know I have a lot of files on the website that I don't use and need to clean those up. We have sponsor logo's and past history that we want to keep and possibly use in future years. I need to those to a backup or another folder. What is the best way to know what files are currently in use on the website.
Thanks
Mike

The files are usually pdf which I have scanned. I probably did not optimize for the web. I do have Acrobat pro so I can do just about anything with these files. Some of these files come from our bowling program. I'm new to this so should I use another file type to post on the web.
First off ignore that other guy. Looks to be a new spam bot. They appear every so often on forums.
More than likely if they are just from a scanner they are not optimized. I'm not sure if PDF is right or wrong. Best way to tell is to look at the type of data you are trying to store. If you show me one of the PDFs I would be willing to look at it for you and see whether it is something with optimization or if there is a better way to store the data. If you are worried about publicly posting one of the documents, we could work through email (I would provide address through that).

What blank DVD should I use? Tried Verbatim printable (as recommended)

Per Dec. 2005 post, I had same problem. i.e. freeze after 2-3 minutes on DVD player. Tried using Verbatim blank printables, DVD-R to no avail. Tried burning from Disk Image to no avail. Did repair in disk utilities.
Tried my usual Sony DVD-r (not printable and worked fine) . I plan on burning about 50-100 and need printable, so any recommendations? Can you buy larger quantities of Sony printables anywhere?
Thanks for any help. I told people these would be available the first of August!!!

Beth,
You can't really control the burn speed in idvd but you can make a disk image and control it somewhat from that. read this from Ken Stone:
Image to Disk
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
Create a disk image in iDVD 6 and use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 to burn the image to writable media. They give you control over burn speed.
The only way to control burn speed in iDVD is use low speed media (if you can find it). Also using rewriteable media will lower the burn speed in iDVD to it's lowest level which I believe is 2x , that is assuming your own S-drive can address rewritable DVD-RW media. Hope this answers your questions.
