Lots of videos, or all in one, & Need for a Play button?

I am shooting about 11 separate videos over the next 12 months, each on a single local subject such as a village fair, hay-making, the Fire Service etc. Each will be from 3 to 15 minutes long. These subjects will be grouped into: events, festivals, work, etc. The first-play menu will have an "Intro" and a "Contents" button. The Contents button is connected to a Contents Menu (second level) which will have a button for each of the above groups. Each of those group buttons will be connected to its own third-level menu which will have buttons connected to play the beginning of each of the subject videos in the relevant group.
The videos are separate simply for ease of shooting, capturing and editing as I complete all three activities soon after the event etc. has finished.
1. What would be best practice: keep the videos separate, one per track, its beginning connected to its button on the third-level menu, or join all the videos together and connect the third-level buttons to chapter marks in the single video where each of the original separate videos startd? (Stories seem to be used to allow the author to select which parts of a given video will be played when and to not allow playing other parts, but all my edited video material will be played.)
Also:
I think that it is usual practice to include a Play button in the first-play menu. This seems to be to allow the user to play a whole cinema film from beginning to end. However, in my project, no user is likely to want to do that. My project is more like a training manual where the user would choose which part of a car he wanted to fix and go directly to it. So:
2. Is there any reason why I should include a Play button on the first-play menu?
Thanks.

For best playback performance, if the videos under each subset are on the same track they can navigate to the 3rd level menu quicker if you use VTS view to put the 3rd level menu for the section (i.e., events) with all the video for the tracks and you can use stories

Play All
sounds like it is a no, the answer lies in your question - will a user want to play all (which seems to be a no) Becomes a creative issue to a degree, do you think not having a play all detracts from your project (regardless of whether it "should" be there and/or having it makes no sense in your judgement.

What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?

Hello i am new to photoshop and would like to really make some fantastic photos and video for my family and friends. I want to add effects to video and Edit photos to the 10th degree. Can someone please recommend an Adobe program. Should i get CS4 extended should i get master suite? Also where can i watch Video Tutorials that start from the basic and lead to the complex. Thanks in advance

What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?
There is no such thing. If there were, nobody would bother writing different applications. If you are primarily focused on still image editing and video, Adobe Production Premium is the way to go. You can find any number of tutorials just by searching Google and many good ones are linked from the Adobe help systems as well.

What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos.

What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone. Theyre darn good printer too. I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities. One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK. Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI.

looking for basic driver for psc all in one 2175 for XP 32 bit. Thank you Dont need all the photo suite stuff,just basic scan and print.

Hi @RUkiddingme
You can download the full feature software and driver, and only install the basic driver. In the installation you should see the option for custom software. Here is the link to download the software; rw2_021_w02_enu.exe
Please let me know if this resolves the issue.

Are there any new All-in-one printers for sale that use the CLI-221 cartridges?

We have a MX870 Printer that needs to be replaced but new cartridges were just purchased from Canon. Are there any new All-in-one printers for sale that use the CLI-221 cartridges?
Thanks,
Margaret

The MX922 (known as the MX926 in Australia) is supported by 10.10 and Windows 7. Whatever site you were looking at may not have updated their details. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site showing the drivers and applications for this model for 10.10.

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

Video imported all on one clip..

Video did not import into separate clips. Its all on one clip. How can I get imovie to make separate clips for editing? Original video is gone. Its on imovie6.

Hi Dixie
Where Do Your material originate from ?
• miniDV tape Camera (recorde with this live)
• from VHS/VCR via miniDV Camera or A/D box
If the latter - there are no Time & Date code that gives info to iMovie where to cut.
There is no function in iMovie that can produce couts from variations in picture or audio. (either in FinalCut Express/pro as I'm aware of)
It has been reported that it can be done on PC-Window platform and by programs like
Pinnacle, Adobe Premiere etc. NEVER Confirmed though.
If timecode not present - Manual cutting up only way. (As I know of)

HT3669 Unable to run the HP All-in-One Installer for LJ 3055 -- Error message says I need to install Rosetta

I have an HP LJ 3055 All-in-One. Previously, I haven't used it connected to my Mac (i.e., only in 'standalone' mode). I now want to use the unit's software for faxing and scanning purposes.
However, when I insert the CD that includes the HP All-in-One Installer, I see an error message saying:
"To open LaserJet AIO Installer, you need to install Rosetta. Would you like to install it now?"
I assume this is related to the CD's having been produced contemporaneous with Tiger, not Snow Leopard -- though I have no idea why it's prompting about Rosetta, since this is a Macintosh installation CD.
Can anyone inform me what I need to do to install the software (i.e., to run the installer) under Snow Leopard, so that I can access the All-in-One's functions via the Mac?
Thanks. Replies appreciated.

Responding to two of your posts here...
Thanks. It wasn't (and still isn't) clear to my why I was getting the prompt about installing Rosetta. While using the unit with Tiger, I never saw anything about a need for Rosetta (i.e., nothing indicating that any of the software on the CD was pre-Intel).
Printing continues to be available from the Mac but nothing else is supported via the computer. Scan, fax and copy are available only directly from the unit.
Funny that this can happen with a unit that continues to work perfectly well, without a hitch. You'd think that OS upgrades would, if anything, enhance software control of a unit -- rather than eliminate it completely.
★ Is there any reason to think that going the 'Rosetta' route would restore the lost functionality (in 10.6.8)? ★
Thanks.
The reason you were getting the prompt about installing Rosetta now is because Rosetta was automatically installed on OS X 'Tiger' 10.4 and 'Leopard' 10.5. HP didn't mention it as a requirement, because at the time, it was already there and invisible.
Rosetta became an optional install on OS X 10.6, because (I presume) the number of programs and devices still using pre-2006 PowerPC code and thus needing Rosetta, was in steady decline. Why add extra clutter to (this is my guesstimate) 85% of the Macs running Snow Leopard that DO NOT need Rosetta?
In my opinion, it cannot hurt to install Rosetta now.
Only programs (your HP drivers) that REQUIRE Rosetta will even attempt to use it.
The scan fax and copy functions don't work now with Snow Leopard, so at worst, they still won't work.
You can always delete Rosetta again if you need the disk space.
Message was edited by: kostby
If I correctly understand how Rosetta worked, it created an emulation environment in which certain software (including 'multifunction printer' drivers) would work, the implication being that these software products were not specifically written for the Mac OS.
However, wouldn't those drivers still also have to be supported by the Mac's currently-installed OS in order to work -- as they were in Tiger and Leopard (but are not in Snow Leopard)?

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645 All-In-One : Need Help

Newly bought HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645 All-In-One printer and couldnt dial any numbers to fax a document. After restart the printer, it shows error code: 0XC4EB11C9. Tried to restart many times but still cannot fix it. Anyone can help to solve this matter?

Welcome to the forums amylicious21
I saw your post about the error code you are seeing on your Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645. This code is an Ink System Failure code.
Please check out this guide, try the step and if that does not help, call HP to inquire about a replacement unit.

What is the best all-in-one printer for an eMac?

My old Epson Stylus Color 777i has just died. I need to buy a new printer/scanner/copier and ideally, a photolab. Which is the best one which is compatible with my eMac? I have Mac OS 10.3.9. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I saw a great all-in-one advertised on a homeshopping network but can't remember which one it was and whether or not it was compatible with Macs. It even had 4 separate inkjet cartridges so you don't have to replace the whole color cartridge and waste leftover ink! And it could take at least 4-5 different digital camera cartridges too. Anyone have any ideas? Many, many thanks,
lablady

Brett, and everyone who responded:
I want to thank all of you who responded to my question. I had to buy something quickly (within a day or 2 of posting) and most of your recommendations were not in stock at my local stores. Which probably means others have had success with them too and they can't keep them in stock for any length of time. I ended up buying a Brother MFC-5840CN. A 6-in-one: copier, printer, fax, scanner, photolab and photolab w/computer and it has 4 separate inkjet cartridges. And the day I bought it was the last day of a sale. Good timing! I've done a LOT of printing on this thing in the past 2-1/2 months and I have yet to run out of any of the original ink!! I'm impressed so far!
Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you who gave me your input. I researched all of the ones you suggested and had to go with quick availability as well as the 4 separate inkjet cartridges as well as price ($150 or under, if at all possible).
Many, many thanks,
lablady

I am trying to find the best all in one printer for my macbook pro with retina display. Any ideas?

I need something that doesn't require a disk for setup.

Based upon your criteria an HP 100 Envy all in one would fit. The drivers are downloaded from Apple.

All in One Printers for AE?

I've just returned to the Mac world after years with Windows. I've spent many hours trying to get an older HP printer to work with both XP SP2 desktop and wireless with my new MacBook Pro. It did work, but with some issues after research on this forum. However, when upgrading to Leopard, I lost the ability to print from the MacBook.
The printer is old, so I thought I'd just buy a new printer that is compatible with Airport Extreme. However, both Lexmark and HP only list discontinued printers as compatible with AE. Does anyone know if there are any new All in One printers that will work with AE? Or is the best solution to buy something that I hook up to the desktop and then print from the MacBook by sharing the printer? I only need to print wirelessly through the All-in-One. I don't use the scanner, but need to fax and copy occasionally.
Thanks!!!

It's not as though they are not compatible, it's more no one has either updated the manufacturers' lists or has tested and asked for it to be added to the unofficial list.
Some of the low end HP AIO (all-in-one) printers will only work though the USB port of an Airport base station through the use of third party drivers, and usually the P1000 PhotoSmart driver which (for some people) does not allow for good printing results.
You are either best to connect the AIO to a specific computer or purchase an AIO which either has an ethernet connection or is wireless.
