Is there anyway to get better Quality out of a IDVD

Hi all I have a SONY HDR-FX1 HDV Handycam and Recorded My kids game today
in HD 1080i. It look great out of the FX1 though Component cables into my LG DLP TV, but when I Fly if down to my G5 and imovie then over to iDVD the Quality get lost. It ok to look at but no more HD Quality is there something I can do or buy to get more Quality?
G5 1.8 Dual 5.5 GB Ram
4 250gb 400-FWHD
4 250gb 800-FWHD
2 250gb SATAHD

Yes, there is something you can do, however it won't be cheap. If you purchase Final Cut Suite (over $1,000) you can import your HD footage natively into Final Cut Pro (natively meaning absolutely no quality is lost....on iMovie, HD video is transferred into Apple's own codec while importing, so you lose some quality, although not very much). From here you have to move it to DVD Studio Pro, where you can burn HD DVDs. The only problem with this is there aren't many HD DVD (or Blueray) players out on the market right now; most newer macs with the latest version of DVD player will play them, but that's pretty much it - unless you own a HD DVD player and an HD TV.
The problem is, you're dealing with a technology that hasn't been integrated into modern technology yet, so it makes it harder/more expensive to deal with (as I'm sure you realized when purchasing your HD camera).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Connect to the iPod to iTunes and restore it. Right click on the name of the iPod under DEVICES and click Restore. If it says it can't restore because the device is locked with a passcode, put it in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    I have an install disc stuck in a g5 that wont power up is there anyway to get it out

    Hello,
    If all else fails,like holding mouse buttn down on bootup...
    Other than that, you can slide the door of the optical downwards with your fingers, then use a straightened out paper clip to push into that tiny hole to eject the tray.

    So my daughter plugged her ipad into home pc to download music from itunes and it wiped everthing out of her ipad and copied my ipad info from the last time I had mine plugged in. Is there anyway to get her info back like all her pictures?

    Had she backed up her iPad to a different computer or iCloud?

  • Is there anyway to get a number of my authorizations back?

    My Hard drive was getting wiped out every week or so and I have had to reformat 3 to 4 times for the past month. Is there anyway to get my number of authorizations back? I think that this is kind of lame. My computer gets hosed, my ITunes get wiped, the new songs I bought wont fit on my IPod and those get wiped out as well and I cant get those back. Now soon I wont be able to play any of the ITunes music I bought on my Ipod if there is no way of fixing this.

    You can use these instructions to reset your authorizations, but after using the option, you won't be able to use it again for a year. You should try to find out why you need to reformat your hard disk, and if possible, fix whatever is causing your issue.

  • HT1689 what happens of someone stole my ipod is there anyway to get another one besides buying a whole new one

    What happens of someone stole my ipod is there anyway to get another one besides buying a whole new one? Does anyone know? And why does it have to be connected to the internet for it to locate my apple devices? There should be a locating chip in it already. Better ideas here..

    You'll have to buy a new one, unless it is covered in some kind of insurance that you have.

    Where are the masters actually stored upon conversion from Aperture to Photos? Photos?
    The master files are stored on your drive, but they are not actually stored "in" any folder. Folders are really just special files that store various bits of information about the files associated with that folder, including links to where they actually are stored. That's why you can "move" a file from one folder to another very quickly: all that you really are doing is moving the link & other info from one folder to the other folder, while the file itself stays where it was.
    Because of this, it is possible for more than one folder to link to the same file -- in the Finder it looks just like there are two copies of the file, one in each folder, but there really is just the one copy. From the description in the Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries doc, it looks like that's what happens when you import your iPhoto library into Photos -- both the old iPhoto Library "file" (which actually is a set of folders & subfolders of files) & the Photos Library (also consisting of folders & files) contain links to the master files, but like the Apple doc says, there really is just one set of master files being stored.
    This is very similar to the way Time Machine backups look like they have multiple copies of the same unique file, one in each time-stamped backup folder, but there really is only one copy on the Time Machine drive. My guess is Apple is using hard links for this, which means the actual master files will not be deleted from the file system as long as at least one link remains to each of them.
    So you should be safe in deleting the old iPhotos Library once you are absolutely sure you don't need it, but to be sure, if it was me I would make a backup just in case, or better yet just leave it alone.

  • Is there anyway to get back songs I already purchased?

    I recently purchased some songs on iTunes but I had an issue with my computer and now they're gone. Is there anyway to get them back with out buying them again?

    If you are in the US then you should be able to re-download them for free, as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are not in the US then have you not got backups on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs ? If not then you can try contacting Apple and see if they will let you re-download, though they are under no obligation to do so  : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

  • WORKING BACKGROUND WENT BLACKIs there anyway to get the working background back to original Gray to

    Working background went BLACK. Tried reinstall Photoshop Elements 10 and it is still BLACK.  Makes it really hard to crop a picture with blackback gounds
    The picture is has been zoomed out.  Is there anyway to get it back to its original grayish working background?

    See if right clicking just outside the picture area and choosing Gray fixes it.

  • Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

    Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
    And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
    It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

    I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
    Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
    Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
    I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
    Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
    On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
    ++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

    Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes.  However, if iTunes asks for the unknown passcode you need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod from backup.  For recovey mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."

  • HT201269 I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud.

    I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own.  I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book.  I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy.  I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

    First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.
