Is there a way to optimized a DVD for playing on a computer, not on a TV?

I've got a project that I cut in FCP 5, looks fine on a TV, but my client wants it on DVD for sales force to use. Wants them to use laptops with DVD players. Problem is that the graphic portion of the program looks lousy when encoded in MP2. In fact, their logo, which again looks fine on TV monitor, looks looks awful on a DVD.
Unfortunately the sales force doesn't have Quicktime installed on their computers. Thinking of making a .wmv or mpg-1 movie and putting it inside a Director project on a CD.
Or is there a way to optimze the graphics for computer playback?
Any ideas?
Thanks

You may be better off using Flash/Director for ROM playback...
If you can encode the graphics/title sequences from animation (codec) and not ever making them NTSC/PAL DV then try that...
Does it look bad on DVD all the time? So it looks poor on TV when playing off of the DVD? When you are watching the DVD on a computer are you watching it at Normal Size? Full Screen? if FS then how do they look when they are not stretched so much.... what res is the screen?

Is there a way I can pay apple for an app with cash not credit card?

Is there?

Yes. Take the cash to a retailer and buy an iTunes gift card. They are pretty easy to find.
Once you redeem the card, you will have a credit balance in your account that you can use for purchases.

I work for the County and we purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 long ago. The person that did the order is no longer here. All I have is the CD Disk that is new but i did not know the key code is. Is there a way to get the keycode for this?

It would not work anyway. The activation servers have been retired and Adobe has provided a new CS2 download along with a new serial number for CS2 owners.

Hi

Boot with the option key down. You will see a window showing all the bootable systems. Select the OSX boot and hit return. Once you are booted into OSX, use the Startup Disk system preferences to change your default boot volume.

Is there a way to watch a dvd on an iPad?

Is there a way to watch a DVD on an iPad? Is there a device similar to a Kingston Wi-Drive that would play a DVD disc and allow it to be watched on an iPad? It seems doable, but I don't know of an available device. Any help would be appreciated.

No.
If it's a non-commercial DVD(like a home movie), you can use something like Handbrake to convert it to mp4 which you can then import onto the iPad via iTunes. If it's a commercial DVD, your options are to purchase a digital copy or subscribe to a streaming service that you can use to watch it.

TS2951 Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011

Hello,
Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011 ? I only have the Newest
Lion Thumb Drive 7.0 and will not allow me to ever Reinstall my MAC. Which I like to do from time to time....
Is the Thumb Drive Suppose to reinstall the entire computer or just upgrade ? Apple Store does not know what
level each customer is at so the Thumb Drives must Totally Start from Scratch.
It worked Once in Nov a Month after I Bought the MAC PRO in 2011 by customer care telling me to Hold down the Option Key When I Turn on the MAC ? I hope That is Correct.
SO WHAT I AM REALLY WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT MACS IS CAN YOU MAKE A BOOT DVD and NOT with Time Machine or an External Hard Drive.

Is there a way to copy ur dvd to the hard dirve

Is there a way to copy a dvd disk to a hard drive and play it using iDVD. if there is a way how do you do it.

Hello noname212,
I assume you are trying to rip a home made DVD and not a commercial DVD. I know you have been told once about copying commercial DVDs and using this site for info on how to do it.
Here is a link to a site that explains the whole proccess.

Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created? I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS). I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer? I think there probably isn't... If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks so much for your time.

I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there a way to have two apple ID's on one computer/iTunes.

My wife and I both have iphones and we have a Mac. Is there a way to seperate what goes where as far as contacts, podcasts, etc? Everytime she syncs her phone on itunes, all my podcasts get changed/erased and I have to re download them. Also, my daughter, who has an ipod touch can change my contacts, i.e. delete them. Is there any way to seperate certain info to certain devices?

Are you sharing one AppleID or do you have separate IDs?
If you have separate AppleIDs, then it's easiest to create a user account for each of you on the computer, and log into iTunes with your respective IDs on each account. This will keep everything separate. There is no problem authorizing content for multiple AppleIDs on the same computer.
HOWEVER, you can only re-download, auto-download, or use Match for one AppleID *per computer* (not per account), and this can only change every 90 days.
If you share an AppleID, then in principle, you can sync both devices to the same user account, but it's difficult to separate contact lists, so it's still easiest to have two user accounts, even if you use the same AppleID on each. This will allow you have separate contact and calendar lists; however, you will NOT have the option of syncing them to the cloud (make sure to turn this option OFF), as having a single AppleID would cause them to merge.

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

I recently purchased a TV season on Apple TV with my own personal Apple ID. Is there a way to transfer that TV season to my husbands computer so that he can watch it when he's out of town for work?

You can't transfer to another Apple ID. You would have to sign in under your account on the computer and then download the content.
