Make DVD for European friends?

I want to export a movie I just made in the latest version of Final Cut Express HD and put on an iDVD project for friends in France.
1. What conversion settings do I choose? Does it make a difference for Pal/NTSC if it's a DVD?
2. IDVD says to save the movie in FCE under FILE-EXPORT-FINAL CUT MOVIE. However, the program does not give me that option. Only the option to save as a Quick Time Movie. Does it make a difference? Why can't I save as a Final Cut movie?
Thank you.

DVD for European standards DVD players

I have to burn DVD in FCPX and send it in Europe. Can I use the same setting (720x480 30fps)and if not how to burn DVD in FCPX that can play on European standard DVD players?

All modern European DVD players will handle 25, 29.97, 23.98, and 24fps.

How to make DVDs with Premiere Pro CC

I upgraded to CC from CS4 so I noticed there is no Encore DVD CC program to download. I think I read once that somebody said Adobe allows you to download a previous version of Encore but I can't find it, is this possible? If not how do you guys make DVDs for a client who wants them?
If there is an Adobe Encore version to download, what video format should I export to make the DVD on Encore?
If anybody can direct me with a link I would really appreciate it
Thank you!

Its a pity that Adobe could not put Encore out into the public domain (freeware) or sell it to someone who will provide it to those who need it.
This post includes Neil Wilkes' explanation for what happened.

(Adobe has never confirmed this, and has taken down their "Encore FAQ" that gave their lame explanation for why Encore is end of life.)
Basically, Adobe licensed the authorcore for Encore from Sonic/Roxio, which has been bought out by Rovio. Rovio killed all the sonic licensing (because they are into streaming).
Sony may be the only continuing product other than consumer options.

How do I make a DVD for a TV without idvd which is not on my new iMac?

I have a new imac (a pc user) and I made an imovie but now I can't make a DVD because apple no longer includes idvd. I have searched the web and talked to long time mac users and no one has any suggestions on how to make a DVD for a TV to send out my movies of sale horses.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to destribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That has worked for some, but is not guaranteed to work for all.
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with Lion. You have to buy iLife 11 from online Apple Store in order to get iDVD. You are strongly recommended to do so soon as it will not be available for much longer.

How to make my iphone stop asking for my friend's Apple ID?

First question: why does apple website logs me out every minute saying "session time out" or something(i'm using chrome on iPad)..!
Second Question: why after i typed such a big question and when i switch tab and come back to this tab, the tex disappears (both chrome and safari for iPad)?
Before going to my actual question:
I(from USA) have an iPhone 5 and iPad 4, and bought the same for my dad(India), He has his own apple account and mine is separate.
I've recently send the iPhone 5 (factory unlocking it for 10$ before sending it to him- I have proof of purchase for all 4 devices) after the 5s is released.
Third question: Why can't I add my dad's(Indian) phone number for iMessage?
Since I used that phone with my USA SIM card for 1 day before sending it to him, it remembered my phone number, but even after trying everything except complete reset on my dad's iPhone( since he can't manage to download all apps from scratch again) and didn't get a new sim yet, we tried everything but I couldn't make the Apple ID remember my dad's phone number..!
Fourth question: As my laptop broke, I used my friend's Mac to check the unlock is successful or not! Now when my dad tries to install an app from AppStore from his iPhone, it asks for password of my friend's Apple ID ,
My question is how to add his phone number and how to make it forget my friend's Apple ID
In Apple.com> manage Id> it doesn't show my friend's id anywhere. Do I need to de-authorize from his Mac?

Hi, I've tried a reset all, and restored from another backup(iCloud) and it stopped asking my friend's Apple ID(its been two days i've restored, and my didn't complain yet).
next, i've already tried all the steps you said.
my dad uses his gmail account for apple devices(same id for his iPad too), and i already checked "My Phone" number is set to my dad's phone number.
i asked my dad to turn off iMessage and Facetime, removed the sim, reset network settings and when he inserted the sim back, it shows his number, when he turns on the iMessage and logs in using his email, it shows my phone number..!
i went to view account, and it redirected to appleid.apple.com and i can see his phone number in the account.
checked the location, set to India, time zone and everything looks fine.
But the Apple ID is remembering my number instead of registering his number..!
BTW, can you elaborate your reply for my 3rd Question.
I've created a contact record with his name, phone number(with country code) and email addresses.
Now what is the next step..?
"setup phone to register with iMessage" can you explain this.
I'm planning to remove sim in my phone, restore it to new device, setup the required softwares etc, take an iCloud back-up and ask him to restore from that backup. Since, the Apple ID doesn't know any phone number, when he inserts sim and turns on iMessage it should register the new number..!

I would like to buy an ipad for a gift for a friend that lives in Santiago,Dominican Republic. What do I need to do to make the ipad function efficiently and properly in Santiago,Dominican Republic?

I would like to buy an ipad for a friend of mine that lives in Santiago,Dominican Republic. How and what do I need to do as far as set up of the ipad to make sure that it functions efficiently and properly in Santiago,Dominican Republic? The availability of wi-fi is not very good, so should I buy an ipad model that has wi-fi and cellular capability? I am quite new to all this technology so I would appreciate it very much if someone can explain step by by step and in simple terms how the ipad needs to be set up to work in this country.

The Smart Cover only protects the front screen. You'll get scratches on the back plus it provides no protection for a small drop.
I added a screen protector as it was cheap insurance protection.
For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.
 Cheers, Tom

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

How to make a NTSC DVD for the USA

I want to put some movies on a DVD for some relatives to play on their DVD player in USA which uses NTSC I believe.
How do I convert my PAL footage to play on their machine in iDVD6?

Hi Alexander
Two ways. One bad and one very good.
• Burn a NTSC-project in iDVD - BAD AND LOSY QUALITY
• Open Your movie in JES_Deinterlacer - Google it - it's free and let it convert Your PAL (25fps) project
to NTSC (29.97fps) then start a new iDVD NTSC-project and drop this new converted movie into
this.
This should be enough - BUT You can do more.
• Now Save as a DiskImage to eg Desktop
• Burn this by Apple Disk Util tool or Toast™ - AT AN AS SLOW speed as possible eg x1, x2 or x4
• Burn it on high quality media: I use Verbatim DVDs
• Use DVD-R (not +R or +/-RW)
Doing the last steps gives a DVD that has less writing errors = Can be played on more types of player
eg. stand alone DVD-player or PCs
Yours - HAVE TESTED THIS and got a very good result - confirmed from US: Bengt W

Exporting iMovie/iDVD project for PC friend to edit

I recently posted a question about how to take an iMovie/iDVD project and export the files so that a PC user could take the project and edit on his PC using a video editor. It was suggested that I share the iMovie project to QuickTime and then burn on to a CD. This sounded good at first but then I did some research and saw that sharing to QuickTime means that the quality will be lost (saving to CD setting) and will only be something like 320 x 240. Plus, it takes forever. Even longer if I set it to full quality but by that point, the file wouldn't fit on a CD anyway.
I did see that I could save the movie back to a mini DV tape and then give that to the PC person so that they could just bring it into their computer via their camcorder. But what if that person doesn't have a digital camcorder?
For the project in question, I've been asked to take some VHS tapes and convert them to digital. I've done so using a digital converter. They want a DVD of what was on the tapes, which I've done, but they also want the files so that they can later edit to their tastes on their own time on their PC and then later create a DVD. Given the above, what would be the best way to do this? Isn't there something in the movie project files that I can dump to disk?

a) consider the usage of an ext. harddrive...
b) in iM's "share" dialog, you find the option "selected clips only"; so, select a few clips you like to export, check that box, done... you can "split" your clips at any point to create segments of approbiate size by hitting apple-t at any position in timeline..
c) share/Quicktime/expert options/click "share"/ offers you a dropdown menu, where you can choose the "avi" container...
(your User Interface is for sure english!)
you can click options, and choose the dv codec (which is your project's native video codec)... no loss of quality, and probably compatible for your friend..
d) a dataDVD-r fits ~20min of dv video... 4 disks?
e) using Disk Utility, make sure, you use a PC-compatible disk format....
f) Plan B) export your project back to tape, give your friend the miniDV...

How can i change the initials that the watch chooses for a friend ?

for most of my friends the initials chosen by the iwatch make sense, but for some, particularly chinese friends the initials are not a good chouxe. How can i set my own initials for a friend. I don't see any field for that in the iphone contacts.

There is no setting in iTunes that you can change for the location of the backup. You need to free space up on the C: drive. Whatever location you intended to put the backup at, move some of your other content. Generally pictures take up the most room. Move them from one of the libraries on the C: drive to an external drive or other media. Maybe even burn them to a CD/DVD and remove them from the computer.

Sorry does not make up for this purchase!

Since corporate wouldn't give me an email to send this to, I'm posting this here.

Hello,
I'm a customer that wanted to bring to your attention the lack of customer service I've received from the Best Buy store at your Tri-County location, here in Ohio. On the 14th of November, I walked in the store to buy an open box electric stove that was advertised on your website. Your website clearly stated that one was in stock at the Tri-County location. I called the store and spoke to a representative prior to my arrival at the store to confirm that this information was accurate and the rep simply told me yes it was, if it says it one the website then to go off of that.
So I went to the store to purchase the stove and was unable to find it. I had several associates help me look for it and nobody could find it and the managers determined that it wasn't in stock. Since it was a Best Buy mistake, the manager offered to give me the new version of the stove for the same price, which saved me a little money. As I'm patiently waiting for the final word from one of the managers, I start looking around for other things I may possibly want to buy and I come across an open box french door refrigerator, so I decide to purchase that as well. Nothing was wrong with it, except for a couple scratches. Keep in mind that this is nearly a couple weeks before thanksgiving, where I had nearly 30 attendants. I just bought a dishwasher and microwave from lowes and wanted to have my complete appliance set on display just in time for Thanksgiving.
When the items arrived at my home, a couple days before Thanksgiving, I was relieved that I received them on time. For the most part, the delivery crew was acceptable, except for the fact that they broke a light switch on the wall as they were trying to move the refrigerator in it's place. They told me about it and I told them that that was okay and that I was just happy that I received my appliances. As anyone else would do, I waited for the fridge to get cold before I put the food back in and when it came time to do so, I noticed that the middle flap between both french doors was broke. It's a bit deceiving because if you just look at it you can't really tell, but after opening and closing it a couple times, you could easily tell that it was broken. So I called Best Buy that same day and told them of the problem. I asked them if they had that part at the store, so I could just come in and get the replacement. Note, that on the appliance defect report this was not listed, so I'm assuming it was damaged during delivery or was overlooked. I mentioned this to the manager. He said, that the item had to be special ordered, so as disappointed as I was that my fridge would not be fully operational for thanksgiving, I said it was okay and he told me that he would call me once it came in. To give you a better idea of what my family is experiencing, we don't use the left door on the fridge.
2 weeks go by and I still haven't received a call, so I decide to call and check in for an update. An associate tells me that the item just came in yesterday and that he would call me back in a few minutes to schedule a repair. I don't receive a call that day, so I call best buy back a few days later. Again, I speak to the same associate and he tells me that the item never came in and that the manager was just going to give me a new fridge instead. So I call your corporate office and speak with an associate and he says that he will get to the bottom of it and help me set up the delivery.
Well on the day of the delivery, which was a Saturday, I was told that it would be dropped off sometime between 3 and 5 in the evening, or something in that timeframe. What do I do? I empty out my fridge and clear a path for the delivery personnel. It being a Saturday, I had plans and I haven't received a call from anybody. So around half past 5, I start putting the items back in the fridge, as well as move the furniture back in place. Keep in mind, this is no easy task. I have a 4 bedroom home and a family of 5, so yes, I have a lot of furniture and a fully stocked fridge. This probably took at least 2 hours to get everything cleared and to put it back in place when I found out they were not showing up.
I then get a call at 15 till 6 from the delivery crew telling me that they were on there way. Surprised and irate that they are now calling me, I have to refuse the delivery because we we didn't have time to wait around since we already had plans for the night. I get another call from a Best Buy associate trying to reschedule and I told them that I've had enough of their dealings and that I would let corporate handle it and through corporate I would see that a proper delivery would then be scheduled.
Well this morning I saw on my phone that I have several missed calls, as early as 6 in the morning from Best Buy delivery stating that I am suppose to recieve my fridge in the morning and I was there 2nd stop. I call the guy and tell him that I was unaware of the delivery and that I would give you guys a call today to schedule the appointment. I intend to call you after I send this email regarding that.
So in all, I've probably been on the phone with Best Buy personnel at least 10 times and several hours. I spoke to several associates, including 3 different managers, 3 different delivery crews, and a rep from your corporate office once. I think it's safe to say that this has been a total nightmare and saving a couple hundred dollars does not make up for it. I wanted to reach out to you because as an educated consumer, who also happens to be an elite Best Buy member, I can firmly say that because of this "Nightmare" I will not be buying any more appliances from your store and you would be lucky if I bought anything else from the store. You do have some pretty good deals on games and movies though, so I may continue to do that.
Please take this information and utilize it accordingly, obviously, this is not how business should be ran and I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened. The exact same thing happend to my friend a few years back from a different store.

Hello penningtonj,
While it's great to hear that you seem to have received new inbox units at open box prices due to your experiences, it certainly sounds like the delivery portion of the experience could have been vastly better for you.
I'm glad to hear that the oven is working well for you, and I'm truly sorry to hear of the difficulties you've experienced with the open box refrigerator. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected and marked accordingly for its condition or any missing parts or accessories. It is disheartening to hear that a damaged part may have gone unnoticed. With that said, it's awesome that the store has offered to replace it.
We strive to ensure our deliveries are seamless and hassle-free. Given you have a sizable family, I know emptying a refrigerator is no easy task, as I grew up in family of a similar size, and should the refrigerator have to be emptied for any reason, it was a bit chaotic! It is regrettable to hear that the delivery team was late, and that they failed to contact you sooner to let you know of their delay. Furthermore, it is strange that you may not have been aware of (and thus completely unprepared for) the rescheduled delivery. I can understand how this would be concerning, and further aggravating.
I sincerely apologize for the continued hassle you've experienced with purchasing these appliances. With that said, it appears that you are currently scheduled for delivery on 1/28/15. You should receive a phone call the night before to provide you with a time frame of when to expect them. If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to reach out to me!
Respectfully,

PAL-authored Final Cut Express project...how to burn to DVD for NTSC audien

Not sure if this is possible...and through searching a few previous posts it sounds like it may require additional software...but what the heck, thought I'd ask anyway ! I operate in UK and have made several FCE movies for friends in the UK which I've burnt onto a DVD and sent to them as gifts. Now I want to do the same for a friend in the States, and I'm wondering how to go about the PAL>>NTSC issue. Would it be easiest to just take the PAL-dvd and pay somebody at Jessops etc to convert it onto a NTSC dvd for me? I don't mind paying a few quid for someone else to do it, especially if it would require me to go out and buy all kinds of software to be able to do it myself... But I'm worried about how the picture files, music, titling, special effects etc would come out. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Toast 7.x is able to burn a PAL-project on a NTSC-dvd. In the preferences of Toast you can decide wether the output will be a PAL- or a NTSC-dvd.
For friends in Brazil I burned a NTSC-dvd, but I still don't know if it works!

You can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.
