Import iMovie '08 into iDVD '08 Movie Quality

In iLife '06 there were ways to import movies into iDVD to get a good quality movie. Like instead of using the export menu in iMovie I would just open iDVD and click and drag the .mov file straight into iDVD and the quality was great. I guess there was a bug in the exporting method. Now to get a good quality movie on a single layer dvd coming from iMovie '08 are there things I need to know?
PS. I would prefer HighDef with my Sony HDR-SR12. Yeah Yeah I know I need Blu-Ray but until that that comes only what is the best I can get?

  • Low quality of burned DVD even if I drag&drop iMovie project into iDVD

    Hi all,
    I've a iMovie HD project that I want to burn via iDVD (7.0.4).
    If I click "Share with iDVD" the quality of the resultung video (which is burned to DVD) is rather poor. As I've read within this discussions, the preferred way is to close iMovie and "drag and drop" the iMovie project into iDVD.
    With this way, iDVD (instead of iMovie) will render the movie, which should give a video with far more quality.
    Unfortunately, the burned DVD with the "drag and drop" method has the same low quality as the video with "Share with iDVD".
    I've done a little research and noticed that the "shared movie" for iDVD (iMovie project->Show package Contents->Shared Movies->iDVD) for a 1:10 video has a filesize of only 32kb!
    Is there any way to set the "export" parameters for this "shared movie" (it is a quicktime file)?
    The quality of the completed DVD is acceptable if I export the iMovie project to "DV stream" an import this stream into iDVD. But in this case I lose all my chapter markers of the movie ..
    Is there any way to export the movie from iMovie HD and keep all the chapter markers for iDVD?
    Importing the iMovie HD project into iMovie 08/09 is not an option, as I lose the chapter markers also ..
    Thanks in advice,
    Kind regards.

    Hi,
    the iMovie project was created as "DV" project and I imported DV PAL clips. The iDVD preferences are also PAL (25fps) and the quality setting is "professional quality".
    I've also tried the setting "best performance" within iDVD (as suggested within this forum), but with the same poor result.
    I can see within the iDVD "project info" that iDVD will use "mymovie.mov" within the "Shared Movies->iDVD" of the iMovie project (Show package contents).
    As this converted movie is of low quality, I think this is the root of evil.
    If I export the movie from iMovie with "Export as DV stream" and import this converted movie into iDVD the quality is ok - but I lose the chapter markers ..
    Is there any way to keep the chapter markers?
    Kind regards.

  • Anyone know maximum QT size that can be imported or dropped into iDVD 2.1?

    I've got a QT movie of family photos put to music using iMovie 3.03 and exported to Quicktime as full quality DV.
    It plays fine before export. It plays fine within QT, but I really want to import it into iDVD and burn it so it can be played on any dvd player (e.g. my parent's 50th this weekend : ). Everytime I try to import or drag and drop the movie into iDVD 2.1, I get nothing.
    One thing bothers me: I burned the QT movie to DVD doing a drag and drop/burn. I then tried to drag and drop and import this file into iDVD. Now, my Mac won't eject the dvd because it says it's in use. Does this mean that iDVD IS working on importing my movie even though the cursor is still active and nothing shows up under my file project info?
    My QT file is 540 KB. Is this too big? If so, what can I do? If not, what could my problem be?
    I've posted a similar question over in iDVD to see if anyone there has any advice.

    Try a restart. That usally helps with me. I don't use iDVD, but I have had some issues with Drag and Drops. Some kind of background process won't quit and thinks it's in use.
    Before the restart, quit all apps and then try to eject. Maybe that will help. If not, a restart always does the trick.

  • IDVD poor movie quality

    I know there are a few other discussions with the same sor of problem but hopefully someone can help with mine.
    Basically, I completed a 15 minute movie on imovie. Quality is brilliant on preview. I export to imovie, once again the quality on preview is perfect. I then burn and the quality is unwatchable.
    These are the steps i have taken:
    - I have shot the film on a Cannon DC10. This does not have firewall connection so I used 'handbreak' (100% quality setting) to change to MP4.
    - Edited on imovie
    - Sent to iDVD
    - Burnt. Quality rubbish on both "high quality" and "high performance"
    - I exported straght to Quicktime and the quality was much better although not as good as the imovie preview.
    Please help

    DVDs are low res compared to your computer screen. An NTSC video screen is LESS THASN 640x480 pixels (less than 0.3 megapixels). Exporting as mpg-4 is the WRONG thing to use - try full quality DV.
    For a short movie like yours, 'Best Performance' will give you the best quality.
    The basic problem is you are starting out with highly compressed mpg-2 content from your camera- decompressing/recompressing and then finally mpg-2 compressing again with iDVD. Each of those steps leads to reduced quality.
    Video cameras that save their content as MPG-2 on a DVD ARE NOT REALLY DESIGNED TO WORK WELL WITH THE iLIFE APPLICATIONS. Sorry.

  • I'm trying to import iMovie Hd into iMovie 11, photos import but no video

    I'm trying to import iMovie Hd into iMovie 11, but all that imports are my jpg still shots, no video. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    I'm having the same problem. I have iMovie HD v6 and i use File > Import > iMovie HD Project, but I don't even get thumbnails. I just get a blank project.  See screenshot

  • Why is DVD fuzzy made via iMovie,Media browser, iDVD at professional quality.  Original photos very sharp, DVD fuzzy.

    I made an iMovie from very sharp photos, moved it to iDVD via Media Browser, Made "Professional Quality" DVD in iDVD.  When I play the DVD back on eiher my iMac oxs 10.7.5 "DVDPlayer" or my DVD player hooked to my Sony TV set, the resulting movie from the DVD is unsharp, very fuzzy and very disappointing.  I am using Memorex DVD-R discs.  The playback colors of the made DVD are also changed from the original photos I used from i Photo.
    Is this normal to loose so much sharpness and clarity in going from iPhoto to iMovie to iDVD?

    Hi
    OR the long long answer is something like this:
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD.
    They drop every second line in the picture.
    Go via Media Browser (and then use MEDIUM - as HD does get a BAD Scale down quality) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    - iDVD - set Burn Speed in iDVD Pref. / Advance - BEST IS NOT BEST - x2 or max x4
    - Roxio™ - set in burn process
    - Disk Util tool - set in burn process
    BEST IS NOT BEST
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    to get this to work I
    Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
    Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
    No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
    and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
    and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start  a brand new iDVD project
    Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
    Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
    Try to break the process up into two stages
    Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
    Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
    To isolate where the problem starts.
    Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
    Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
    Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
    No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
    and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use

    Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
    Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk for SD-Video Quality and about 4 - 5 times more - if it is a HD-Project.
    No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    Do not have more external devices connected as is of urgent need. Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - Or to be disconnected/turned off
    Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo
    First - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set pointer to this
    Secondly - turns on screen saver
    Then - to show that it has nothing to show
    No File Vault on - Important
    NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
    Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
    if a project is in a real hurry
    First - Then Start a new User-Account and
    Then - log into this and iMovie get's faster too
    And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

  • Importing two Quicktimes into iDVD?

    I'm attempting to join a Part 1 and a Part 2 video I made...together as one iMovie...but having some kind of "parse" issue.
    I had problems last couple weeks with stutter issues and many clips...and I converted the clips to several Quicktime share .aiff files and will try later to import those into my movie project. Folks here helped me get thru the stutter issue, thanks.
    Someone mentioned one possibility was that I could convert both Parts 1 and Parts 2 to some high end Quicktime movie...then open up iDVD with an open file and import both those movies there with care not to import them into the menu file. Okay, I can kind of visualize that...but, my question is...will this conversion to Quicktime affect video quality done this way? Secondly...what happens to the chapters I created in iDVD of each of the two parts? Are they recognizable in iDVD imported as Quicktime? Will the two separate parts imported into iDVD remain as separate parts 1 and 2...or is there a way they will or can be joined into one movie?
    thanks

    Which version of iMovie do you have? Version 5?
    I have iMovie 5
    There are a couple ways to go about it. One, if you
    have the drive space, is to start a new iMovie
    project. Now go to the Finder, find your first
    project.
    Brought up Finder...
    If iMovie5 and later, right click on the project and
    pick "Show Package Contents" to get into the folder
    structure.
    Here I ran into a problem...
    eMacs and their mouse don't as I know have a right click option as do PC's...
    I did pop on another mouse in our Mac lab that was on another computer called a macally iMouse...which has a right clicker...but when I held the cursor over the iMovie project in the Finder...and right clicked, nothing happened. I held it down for awhile also, but no options came up for anything.
    If you have an idea why the mouse is not doing that...I'm so close to finishing this project.
    We should be getting our new Intel Duo 2 Core this week...and hopefully soon the 500GB external drive along with it.
    I guess I could attach the external drive to the macs in our mac lab...save the projects to the external drive, and THEN perhaps something will happen, the mouse right click. I don't know.
    I guess what I'm saying is perhaps the macs being on a network server do not operate the same as a stand alone machine.
    appreciate your help...

  • Dragging iMovie Clips into iDVD

    I'm creating a iDVD project consisting of a full iMovie and a submenu containing several selected clips from that iMovie. In the submenu I drug several iMovie clips over (from iMovie which was open) and iDVD created a Movie button for each. Problem is that for any of the clips that were originally cropped in iMovie, the uncropped clip version comes across into iDVD and goes from a 16:9 to 4:3 format. When I check in iMovie, the clip is showing up as cropped and in the correct format.
    After checking the forums I tried the recommended method of selecting clips individually and exporting thru Quicktime and then importing into iDVD. Doing this the cropped version of the clips come across correctly but I still loose the 16:9 aspect.
    Am I missing a setting/option somewhere? Any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thanks for the suggestion. I dowloaded the QuickTime 7 version but when I attempted to process the clip I was instructed to do a "Save As", but since I do not have the Pro version of QT that's not an option. Any way around that?
    What's really strange is that on a previous iMovie/iDVD project I simply dragged the clips and everything worked fine.

  • Can I import wmv files into iDVD?

    I have a client who just handed me some windows media files. Can I import those into iDVD without converting them?
    Cheers.
    Tom

    Hi
    It needs to be converted.
    .wmv
    iMovie is by concept meant to work with miniDV camcorders . . any other 'imports' need a conversion or are not supported... a quick solution would be purchasing a plug-in from www.flip4mac.com, 49$, which allows the conversion of .wmv (a PC format) into something useful for iM (dv-stream) ...
    or, ask the emailer to send it in some other codec .. mpg4 for example .. which will be converted by iM 'out-of-the-box' ...  and, to work with iM, the video should fulfill a few standards .. 720x480 pixel resolution, 30 frames per second ... otherwise, you will experience a dramatic loss of quality ..
    Yours Bengt W

  • Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

    Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
    Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
    -Michael

    First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
    Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
    Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
    Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

  • Importing IMovie File into DVD Studio Pro 4

    I used to be able to import the index file from an IMovie project into DVD Studio Pro quite happily.
    Today the application freezes on the import progress window, with no files appearing in the asset window.
    I have to force quit the application to get out of it.
    Can anyone advise how to resolve this issue ?

    If you haven't changed anything on your system, then it would appear that you have one of two things.
    Most likely, your preference files have be come corrupt, or second, your Application or application resource file for DVD SP have become damaged.
    Try first to toss your DVD SP preferences, if this doesn't do it, then you should uninstall DVD SP and then reinstall with all of the updates before trying again.
    If you have tried creating a new project from scratch and the problem persists, then read on.
    If that doesn't do it, then there's a very slight possiblility, that there may be an issue with the QucikTime files of the OS, and keep in mind, (this is a very remote possibility) you may have to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS and apps. from the original disks, but only after everything else fails, (THIS IS A DRASTIC LAST DITCH EFFORT.)

  • Importing iMovie project into another iMovie project

    Due to some problems experienced, I had to import video clips from my DV camera into two separate projects.
    However, I would like to edit my video clips together as it was intended to be one continuos video after being edited.
    When I open the first project and try to import the other project into it, I get a message saying:
    Error during import
    The file could not be imported: The file "_" can't be imported; QuickTime couldn't parse it: -43
    As I am on a deadline, I would really appreciate any input.
    Thank you

    I'm getting the same problem and I've even tried cutting and pasting the clips to a new drive. Opening up a new project and then importing the clips into the new project. It tells me that it is preparing the clip for import and then nothing happens. Imovie hd goes into non responsive mode, I have to force quit cuz it hands up for about 20 minutes... then when I try to open the new project, the clip I was trying to import is listed as being in the trash. if pull it into the timeline half of it will be there but the other half won't.. This has only just started to happen. I've been able to do it successfully two days before. Any ideas?

  • Importing home dvd into iDVD and tweaking it?

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    avoid lossy inbetween formats, as mp4 ...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • Can't drag and drop iMovie files into iDVD project

    I created a bunch of iMovie projects, went through the share/media browser process. They show up as icons in iDVD but when I try to drag and drop them, I don't get the green plus sign and they don't drop. I've tried both widescreen and standard settings, in both iMovie and iDVD, matching them up - still won't drop.

    What's the path to the file? Is it on an external drive? A network drive? A mapped drive? Can you try copying the file to your desktop and dragging it from there?
    It's on an external e-sata drive. No problem accessing the file from within Premiere.  Just can't drop it into Encoder. Doesn't work if I drag to desktop and try from there either.
    Are you dragging it in from Windows Explorer? If not, then what app are you dragging from?
    Yes, from Explorer.
    Are you dragging the actual clip or a shortcut to it?
    Actual clip.
    Have you tried importing via File > Add Source...? [Double-clicking a blank spot in the Queue gets you to the same Open dialog.]
    Yep, tried that.  No luck.  Double clicking and adding didn't work either.
    Definitely only seems to be QT files.  Have tried H264 files from 7D camera and ProRes files.  No luck.  Files that are MP4 work fine.

  • Where can I get the codec to import iMovie clips into Premiere CS6?

    I am running a PC with Win7 & PPro CS6
    I have a bunch of clips that were copied over from iMovie imports (no original files exist anymore)
    They are all a special form of .mov
    I can play them in VLC Media Player (but not Quicktime, or WMP) so I know that a pc can handle them...
    When I import into CS6 I get an errorsaying Codec missing or unavailable...
    Whered can I get the proper Codec?
    Thanks all!

    Considering the last post was made in March last year, I've attached the feature request I made today, just so you know you're not alone on this issue, for anyone with the same problem.
    MAC to PC Support:
    There needs to be a comprehensive and readily supplied library of codecs to provide simple transitions between MAC and PC.
    I'm currently working on my first feature film. I raised a little bit of money through Kickstarter, enough to buy a decent HD camera and a microphone. Basically, I'm not a professional and I'm learning as I go. The camera I bought is a Canon XHA1- it records to mini-DV. I do not have the money to buy an HDV tape deck, leaving me with the only other option of using the firewire port to capture footage off of the camera itself. I had a firewire-to-USB cable, which I used to capture footage to my PC, but after getting a new computer with Windows 8, the camera is now out of date and the OS has no drivers for it. I then decided to capture my footage on an old i-Mac my friend gave me, through i-Movie. After moving the files to my PC, I found that Premiere Pro CC was unable to import them.
    Needless to say, the song and dance I have to go through every time I try to capture footage is frustrating, and considering the mission of Adobe Creative Cloud, to provide affordable opportunities and resources to independent artists, not to mention the fact that Adobe is for both Mac and PC (and especially not mentioning the fact that it is a service I am paying for monthly,) I feel like these kinds of problems shouldn't exist.
    Of course saying "I pay for this, this problem shouldn't exist" is the rallying cry for every idiot who expects the impossible. But capturing on i-Movie... and importing to Premiere Pro? Really? Why is this an issue? Maybe i-Movie is out of date... but I'm not going to waste another weekend capturing; it probably still won't work.
    I'm not asking for file conversion software. That's what I'm going to have to do on my own, for GBs upon GBs of footage just so I can get to the editing table. The problem is that I have to convert it in the first place. If there is any progress on this issue, please let me know.
