Pros and cons for posing video to youtube for use in iWeb

Hello
Can someone explain the pros and cons of posting video to YouTube for use in an iWeb website instead of iDisk?
Thanks
Carl

Carl ~ Some of the following points have already been mentioned above, but anyway...
Pros for posting videos to YouTube are:
Viewers of your video wouldn't be using up your limited .Mac data transfer allowance.
Once your site is published, if subsequently you have to do a +Publish All+ from iWeb, you wouldn't be uploading your video yet again to .Mac ~ saving time and usage of your limited .Mac data transfer allowance.
YouTube videos have a wide audience and popular features such as ratings, playlists, comments, etc.
Cons for posting videos to YouTube are:
Limitations on size and quality of videos and their unappealing presentation style. For example, compare YouTube's presentation style and limited size options with that of a +.Mac Web Gallery+:
http://gallery.mac.com/emily_parker#100471
Perhaps a compromise would be to post your videos to YouTube (for the publicity) and link from your iWeb site to a +.Mac Web Gallery+ (for its elegance and avoidance of iWeb re-publishing it.)

My library wont transfer to my new nano

why won't my library sync to my new nano?

If you want the iPod to sync automatically, you may need to set up syncing for the iPod in iTunes.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected. Select the iPod there. To the rignt, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons that starts with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box to Sync Music. If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, make your selections from the lists below. For example, if you want to sync one or more existing playlist in your iTunes library you can select them. You can create new playlists with only the songs you want on the iPod, and select them. You can select specific artists or albums...
When you click Apply, the songs in yoru selection(s) sync to the iPod. Going forward, any changes to your iTunes library (related the settings on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes) sync to the iPod automatically. For example, if you have playlists selected to sync to the iPod, you can update those playlists (add/remove songs) in your iTunes library. The next time you connect the iPod (or when you click Sync if already connected), iTunes makes the same changes to the iPod automatically.

Cropping 16:9 video in Compressor for output in 3GPP format

Hi all,
We need to regularly batch convert video for a client, from a 16:9 original to 3GPP's 176x144 ratio by cropping and resizing in Compressor. However, when setting up the encoding settings for 3GPP output, the Geometry fields are greyed out, meaning I can't crop the edges from the original.
The current workaround is to output the file first as an M-Peg (cropping it at this stage), and then re-encode that file in the 4 different 3GPP versions we need.
The question is, is there a better way to do this? Can I force the crop to take place at the same time as it's encoded to 3GPP, or, if we're stuck with a 2-stage encoding process, can I make Compressor automatically begin the re-encoding of the M-Peg file to 3GPP, as soon as the initial transcoding is complete (AppleScript, Automator?)
Thanks

So, if I drop in my source, add an MPEG-2 preset (120 minute video) and then modify the aspect ratio drop down to 16:9, is there anything else I need to do to get the same result as the 16:9 preset in Compressor 2?
There shouldn't be anything else you need to do.
By the way, it should automatically detect aspect ratio (via the anamorphic flag in DV/SD QT files) but I suppose setting it manually couldn't hurt.

Video transfer question for older mac 10.5.8

I am trying to figure out how to transfer video from my JVC GR-D770U video camera to my PowerPC G5 running 10.5.8. I have the proper firewire cable but have been unable to find answer for my question on the internet that is specific to my situation.

... I dont have iMovie and cant find a version that works with my older OS.
The camera videos are on a Digital Video Cassette tape, not a card.
Use iMovie with your Firewire (IEEE 1394) connected mini DV camcorder.
iMovie 6 HD is part of iLife '06, works great with older miniDV camcorders,
and is compatible with your Mac OS X 10.5.8. You will need to install
iMovie '06 before you can use the downloadable latest update from the link.
If you cannot find it locally, this old version is available on-line, including Amazon.com.

SYNC Loss when converting FCP 6.1 Video thru compressor for DVDSP 4

This is an intermittent problem; video is perfect when viewing in FCP or on tape; but there is an intermittent loss when the MPEG-2 ecode is done... any suggestions to correct?
KGD

So we take it that it's a bug which strenghens the
usual warning: never update your software in the
middle of a big project. Acually the more I look at
FCP 6, the more I wonder if it's worth upgrading...
I have another six months to go on this project, and I love smoothcam, but still....
I'm going to try 6.0.1. If I don't get any satisfaction with that, I am going to go back to 5.1.4, which was working fine. Actually, FCP 6 solved what for me was a huge problem with version 5.1, which involved management of media and clips. Previous to version 6, if I moved a sequence from one nested bin to another one nested in a different bin, FCP silently and without any warning broke ALL links to the master clips in that sequence. FCP 6 has fixed this problem. But created others.....
I will report back to this thread after I try 6.0.1.

I need a fast reliable card reader for HD Video transfer

Hey guys, I've just purchased a Canon 5D Mark II and I use 16GB and 32GB 60MB/s SanDisk flash cards to capture my HD video footage. I must have purchased the worst card reader on the market, because it takes over an hour to transfer the footage and now it crashes my computer everytime. What I was wondering is if anyone out that has any suggestions about a trust worthy card reader that moves a bit faster then the speed of dirt and wont crash my computer.
Thank you in advance,
Crayton

Oh and I have another question. As I have been searching, I see alot of these card readers say they handle "large cards" such as 16GB, however, I use 32GB 60/mbs. It was this card that was destroyed while I was transferring the video. So I was wondering if maybe that is an important factor for me to consider and perhaps I have to find an even beefier card reader? Don't get me wrong, I hope not, but maybe it matters. What is the largest card size you use?
Thanks,
Crayton

Video transfer programs for iPod

Has anyone heard of a program VuVideo for transferring DVDs, etc. to the iPod? Is Videomi good?
Thanks!
5G Video iPod Windows XP

For transferring from DVD to iPod, in addition to Videora Converter, you will need DVD Decrypter, which you can also get from the Videora site. The site has a page of instructions for transferring from DVD to iPod.
From the site's main page, click the "click here" link under Videora Converter. Then click the "Conversion Guidelines" link on the left side. Scroll down a bit to see the "DVD to iPod" section. In addition to all the steps involved, there are links right there to download the two pieces of software.

Problem exporting video using compressor for a final cut pro vid

I've created a video in Final Cut Pro and trying to export using compressor to apple tv. Each time about half way through it crashes final cut and gives me the 'final cut pro had to quit unexpectedly'.
Haven't a clue what is going on, it happened sometimes when i was trying to conform to HD but when i did it bit by bit it was ok.
All the media is online so really haven't a clue. I've tried using quicktime conversion in pro-res then bashing into compressor and it works but interlacing is all over the shop, even with de-interlace filter.
ANy answers with regards to why its crashing greaty appreciated!
P.S when it crashes says something about a pro-core plugin

Hi Jim,
Can you update your profile, we don't know what your hardware set up is or your OS, or version of FCS. It could give you answers a lot faster if we know your details from the off.
Ok, what format is your original media, what are your sequence settings please.

Will files from QuickBooks 5.0 for Mac easily transfer to a new download of QuickBooks 2011 for Mac?

Since Lion doesn't support very old QuickBooks 5.0 installed in 2003, will installing the latest QuickBooks for Mac 2011 open up the old files? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

Airport Extreme's support for streaming video NOT reliable for RealPlayer

AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATIONS DO NOT RELIABLY PROVIDE STREAMING SUPPORT USING NORMAL TRANSPORTS FOR REALPLAYER.
Based on a problem I've had for a long time and information provided in RealPlayer OnLine Help, it appears that the Airport Extreme Base Stations do not reliably provide streaming support using normal transports for RealPlayer.
HERE'S THE REASON FOR CONCLUDING THAT
Even after updating with the latest software and firmware available for my Airport Extreme Base Station, RealPlayer will not play streaming video when my iMac is online via my Airport Extreme Base Station.
(The configuration is iMac (non-wireless) --> Ethernet cable --> Airport Extreme Base Station --> DSL modem.
Note that with that configuration I can browse the internet and play audio through RealPlayer - even though I cannot play streaming video.
In contrast, when my iMac is connected directly to my DSL modem via an Ethernet cable, then I have no trouble playing streaming video in RealPlayer.
HERE'S THE "WORK AROUND" SOLUTION I'M USING
In RealPlayer/Preferences/Transport, I selected to use HTTP transport exclusively.
Here's where to find details of that solution in RealPlayer's OnLine Help:
In RealPlayer's Help menu, choose RealPlayer Online Help. Scroll down the left side of RealPlayer's help window to find the section Troubleshooting -> Network/Connectivity -> Wireless Issues.

I found the aforementioned "work around" solution in a posting in this forum by Greg Robbins on Sep 2, 2005.

I am posting this topic to clarify the deficiency in Airport Extreme, and to help keep this solution available for the Mac community.

Transfer to/from new nano

As a new user, this might be a old question, buut if you don't ask etc.etc............
I have a 2gb Nano, which will hold approx 400 songs. I want to be able to load, for example 400 Rock songs if i'm on a long drive, or maybe 400 easy listening if i'm relaxing on holiday ( Ah........holidays)
Is it possible to have a folder on my Pc called "rock", one called "easy" and others for different music types or artists, all which would fill my Ipod.
Then I could upload whichever one I want before going out.
Problems is that I need too many tracks to have them all on the ipod at the same time.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes you can do that thru iTUnes and creating playlist, you would want a Smart playlist. A smart playlist "Auto updates" Itsself based on the rules you set for it. If you creat a playlist for rock, any new songs you add to iTUnes with the genre of rock will be automaticly added to the playlist
To create a smart playlist, goto file>New Smart Playlist. Here is where you can set the rules. For a rock only playlist you would select "genre" "is" or "Contains" "rock". Now if you pick "is" it will only list songs labled rock, not songs labled rock/alternitive or whatever, would have to be rock and no other words. now if you pick "Contains" this will list all songs witht he word "Rock" in its genre field be there other words or not. After creating the smartplaylist you can always edit the rules by rightclicking the list and hitting edit.
Now rightclick the nano in iTUnes, hit "iPod Options". this will open the ipod preferences. You will see 3 ways to update iPod, Manual auto update all, auto update select playlist, you will choose auto update selected playlist and then pick the playlist you want on it.
