IMovie 5.0.2 vs 6.0 which is best?

I have a mac Mini G4 running OS 10.4.11 I am using iMovie 5.0.2. Question: should I upgrade to iMovie 6.0, what is the difference between the two? I bought a Canon DC50 mini DVD camera

UMMMM . . . . I'm not sure if you can get the free download of 06 without having 08 already installed on your computer?? Since you can't install iLife 08 on your G4, this could be a problem that maybe someone else may know the answer to.
IF you could find a copy of iLife 06, maybe lying on a storeroom shelf at an Apple dealer, or on eBay, that would be the next best solution. Failing that, or a solution to the first problem above, you may be using iMovie HD (05) a while longer. Not that there's anything wrong with that, for you could go to the Gee Three website and find a whole lot of plug-ins, for a fee, that provide extra transitions, titles, video and audio effects that will work with your iMovie.
Good choice on the camera too, although I have seen threads here that talk of issues with getting the most out of a high def camcorder vis a vis the computer handling the files and also the availability and cost of HD DVD burners. Just a heads up on that one.

  • Should I use a table for thumbnails? [was: Experts,  which is best for me?]

    on some of the pages on my web-siteI am going to have several (perhaps approx 10 pages) with 12 or 15 thumbnail photos on it.
    I am then going to link each thumbnail to another page which will have a larger version of the thumbnail along with a brief description of the photo.
    I am hoping to have all pages taken from a template base with just a header and a navigation bar (pop menu magic from PVII). I want to link the pages with the large photo back to the thumbnails page.
    Before I start on my site, I would be interseted to find out what some of you experts out there would advise with regard setting my site up.
    I know there are horses for courses and many different opinions so i don't think I will get a definitive answer.
    My question is, for my type of site as described above, which is best, Tables, div tags  or both together. i.e. Div tag for header, div tag for nav bar and a table in a div tag.  and your reasons why would be helpful. I know that this has been discussed many times but I want to know answer specifically for my web-site and not which is best generally.
    I hope my question is clear enough and thanks in advance for any feedback.

    It may sound as if I am being lazy here but is it easy to integrate JAlbum in to my site. Is it a case of copying and pasting or does it entail a lot of knowledge.
    I am not really being lazy, I just want to get things moving so that when I get round to building my site, I can keep moving at a steady pace.
    My website which I have up already is www.designekitchens.co.uk if you want to give yourself a better idea of what is required.
    Does using a slide show mean that I loose some pages so less chance of being spidered by search engines?
    I don't think I could manage all this if there were no forum so thanks again.

  • 5 Ways to Handle Sales Orders in IC WebClient: Which is Best for You?

    Hello Interaction Center community!
    If your IC project includes CRM Sales, or if you are considering adding support for sales processes, check out the following article which has been posted by permission of CRM Expert
    (crmexpertonline.com) and Wellesley Information Services.
    [5 Ways to Handle Sales Orders in IC WebClient: Which is Best for You?|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3040e1d3-da06-2b10-afa3-e0952aac10a1]
    We want your feedback. Which sales option are you using in your project? What were the main decision criteria? Please reply with your input. At least two points will be rewarded

    Over 90% of our orders come in via CRM ISA or EDI.
    B/c of the reasons mentioned in the article we use R/3 for entry of the remaining orders as well as order management.  Since R/3 was live years before CRM, there are custom exits and fields required that would be an investment to replicate.  Changing the plant on the line item is a common occurance for our business.  Of the CRM scenarios X,Y,Z we use scenario X where once the order is touched in R/3, R/3 becomes the owner of the order.
    Our CRM version just upgraded to 5.0 and our R/3 system is now being upgraded to ECC 6.0.  As our do use the IC web client, we are investigating trying to move to the ERP Sales order.  The upgrade architecture will also open scenario A where either CRM or ECC could change an order even though X should still support our requirements.

  • Multiple video players in Java application .... which is best format ?

    Hey there
    we are working on an application that will allow six video players to run similtaneously in a frame (actually a J Layered Pane) - you can drag these around + rearrange them.
    At present we are testing a whole load of different formats + codecs to see which performs best - the piece will end up in a gallery so we need to push quality + resolution as high as possible.
    .avi works best so far - using cinepak @ 70% quality .... .mov does not work at all .... does anyone have advice as to the most suitable format ?
    many thanks

    CCC stores a "base image", then its incremental backups are stores in separate folders that you would have to search for specific files.  If different files were "last changed" on different days, you may have to search different days "incremental folders" to get all files.
    Because of this CCC is "managed" ... you cannot fully control how backups are made or where files are stored.  And TimeMachine eventually deletes "incremental folders" as they get too old, so it is "managed" as well.
    If you have full sets of files you want saved "as a specificslly formatted set", I would do it in another eternal drive that *I* manage as a set of folders.
    This is totally 100% incorrect. What you described here is more or less Time Machine, not CCC.  CCC is a standard backup program.  It does not, I repeat, NOT, create incremental dated backups.  While you can save what gets replaced by date archived directories that is not the intent of CCC.  It's intent is to have a exact disk image, folder-for-folder, file-for-file, of the source.  Under option it just stuffs the files it replaces in a folder.
    And you switch what your are taking about halfway through your post to TM.

  • Aperture Vault vs Time Machine~which is best to retrive photos with all info

    Aperture Vault vs Time Machine~which is best to retrive photos with all info?

    Both will restore your Aperture library. And both will not allow to restore single images. You always have to restore the complete library.
    The difference is, that Aperture vaults are archival backups. You make a snapshot at a certain point of time. Time Machine will give  you the option to go back in time to several different moments. A vault is snapshot of only one moment and you would need to create several vault to be able to go back to earlier versions of the library.

  • CBR vs VBR which is best

    I realize there have been alot of postings (mainly mine) on this subject but........
    Which is best and under what circumstances would you use these. I have been reading about this and it still is'nt clear. I have vers. 2 on my desktop and 2.1 on my laptop. All answers I have suggested that CBR is best, but is this all the time?

    Jeff:
    My two cents . . .
    I'm using Compressor 2.0. With the standard VBR presets I use to get some pixelation in particular in transitions. That's solved using same preset changing just to CBR setting.
    My projects uses to be short and then a bigger m2v ile size is not a problem for me.
    Someone using 2.1 could tell us if the VBR problems have been solved.
    Hope it helps !

    I do not know anything about MTS or Beeline - are they GSM carriers, do they offer LTE and if so, on what frequencies?
    The USA online store sells unlocked iPhones, which are model A1428 and is the same model phone as sold carrier-locked to AT&T here.  But again, you cannot buy anything from the USA online unless you have a USA billing address, USA-issued payment source (e.g. credit card) and have it shipped within the USA.  If you are in Russia, you need to buy from a site that sells in Russia, not from the USA online Apple Store.

    Parallels, Fusion and VirtualBox are all virtualization applications, they 'virtualize' (create) a Windows environment on your Macs OSX operating system.
    Boot Camp makes a compatible partition on your hard drive so you may install windows on it directly.

    Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.

    There may be a few links in Apple Support, regarding articles about how to use iBooks Author
    and iBooks Store, etc; these would be separated into two general categories by device used.
    Since there is an iOS and an OS X version of each, you may have to look to see what Apple
    Support says about the one you are interested in; and how far their database goes toward an
    answer to your question. Otherwise, a general search engine approach may be necessary.
    Not sure if anything along the lines of what you seek would be available in an App.
    References to iBooks Author and iBooks Store, etc appear within these two categories in Support:
    For Mac OS X:
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
    For iOS:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ios/
    Appears a community host moved your earlier post into one of the iBooks Author or Store sections
    after I'd replied to what otherwise may be a similar post. Not sure if the links to the Discussions area
    of iBooks you are interested in, have similar questions or answers by others who'd visited previously.

    are posted. You can also find them from the main Apple Support Communities page.
    Sorry to not be of much help in this matter.

  • When I'm editing a video on imovie, it opens with some black parts which are waging. How do I stop it?

    My imovie is with problem. When I'm editing a video, it opens with some black parts which are waging, then the macbook gets slow. The original clip of the event gets all in blue and when I close imovie, it remains loading and lock completely.

    i Founfd this exact behaviour with 1080p mivies on my machine. I redownloaded as 720p and all was fine. I think my computer is getting a little dated.
    If this is true for you then Select Preferences, Store and When downloading High Definition videos, prefer and select 720p. Then red donload form the Purchased link under Quick Links in iTunes Store

  • What type of camcorder should I buy?  Which works best with iMovie?

    Ok...so from my previous post I have come to the conclusion with some help from my new discussion board friends , that I should ditch my Sony mini DVD, and reinvest in a mini DV camera for ease of use with QT Pro and iMovie....that being said...tell me what YOU ALL use? How easy is it to connect to Mac? Firewire? Editing? iMovie making? Trial and errors? Pro/Cons? Sony? Other brands?

    Hi Karsten et al.
    I have a problem that I am desperate for any kind of feedback from. Can you help?
    Last week I bought a Sony DCR-SR90 HDD camcorder, thinking it would be simple to pull files from this hard drive camcorder straight into iMovie.
    However, there is only a USB connection, and the bundled software is for PCs only. I had to download an MPEG2 program from Apple (£14.99) just to be able to import the files and now it does so, but without sound. Moreover, the quality of the image is awful in the iMovie viewing window.
    I have a feeling that this Sony camcorder, though quite new, is not compatible with an Apple Powerbook and/or iMovie. This is disastrous as it cost £850 and I need it for my own wedding in September.
    My question is: is it worth taking this machine back to Jessops and getting a Mini-DV camcorder that is definitely compatible with Apple/iMovie, or is there a way to get this funky Sony camcorder to sync/work with a Mac?
    Second: if I exchange it for a different camcorder, which one should I get guys???!!! (it's vital that it works with iMovie as I like to make decent edited home movies with music, effects etc).
    Can you help???
