Installing a new hard drive. How to make installer dvd from current OS

I have a iMac G5 (PPC). 2004 when I got it. And have the original HD. 150 GB. Following Murphy's Law this HD is due for failure. I have bought a 1 TB. new hard drive to install on this machine. I forgot which OS came with it (10.3) I think. My set up is that I back up my iMac G5 (PPC) to a external Hard drive (300GB) with Time Machine. I have updated thru software update to 10.5.8. But have no DVD installer for 10.5.8.
How can I make an installer for my new hard drive? Or should I partition new 1TB hard drive with the same amount of space as my time machine back up? I may not put everything on current system on new drive.

If the old harddrive is working, why don't you copy the old to the new?
In Leopard, you can resize partitions without loosing data.
Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

Creating an installation DVD from CS4 download files

Greetings! Has anyone managed to create a functional installation DVD(s) from the downloaded files of CS4 Design Premium. After extracting the files, which folders have to go on which DVD? I have both WIN and MAC and would like to install these from DVD.
Thanks.
Cheers!
Brad

Thanks for all the replies!! Gosh. Robert: Adobe support apparently told "cosmicone37" that "you can't create an installation DVD from the downloadable files. The only way to have a DVD installable version of any of the suites is to go through Adobe Support and get the DVDs through them." As stated by me, this is simply not true. Read below. Mike: The images I see kicking around on torrent sites have been made from a trial download. That is certain. They say so explicitly. Try69: Thanks for the input. Yes, storing them on a DVD at least frees up the HDD space. But they are of no use unless copied back to the HDD each time one wishes to alter the installation etc. So I don't consider this a solution to the question Brad raised. Brad... et all... Here is the answer. These instructions are for the master suite. 1) In your DVD-DL burner software set up a new project. 2) Call the disc ADBEMST4 3) Using the free 7-Zip program (google for it) extract the contents of the ADBESTAMCS4_LS1.7z file you have downloaded. 4) You need to edit the setup.xml file which is in the \Adobe CS4\Payloads folder Make it like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Setup version="2.0.138.0"> <Driver folder="AdobeMasterCollection4-mul-trial"/> <Media> <Volume> <Name>ADBEMST4</Name> <Payloads> <Payload folder="Acrobatcom-fr_FR"></Payload> ... snip (see note) .... <Payload folder="AdobeMasterCollection4-mul-trial"></Payload> </Payloads> </Volume> </Media> </Setup> NOTE: I have removed all but one of the payload lines because there are too many to post here. But on every payload line you are changing from: <Payload folder="Acrobatcom-fr_FR">Adobe CS4</Payload> to <Payload folder="Acrobatcom-fr_FR"></Payload> (as an example taken from the first payload line) Do that to every line. You are simply removing the "Adobe CS4" text. Or download the edited xml from here: (only valid for 10 downloads as I am not a rapidshare user) http://rapidshare.com/files/160301059/Setup.xml.html 5) Back to your DVD project. In the root of the disc you are creating, place all the files and folders in the \Adobe CS4 folder you ended up with after the extraction. Don't copy the \Adobe CS4 folder itself, just everything in it. So you'll end up with something looking like this: http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/8144/step5rh4.png (image not from me, just one I found whilst researching this) If you want the extra files to be included (as found in STAMCS4_Cont_LS1.exe) then extract these with 7-Zip also. Copy the resulting files to your disc project. If you don't need the additional languages, then don't add them to the project. You may already be going over the limit for DVD-DL... so check on that. 5) In your project put the new/edited setup.xml into the \Payloads folder. Remove the setup.xml already dragged into the project first, or overwrite it when you drag in the new one. 6) Burn 7) Install 8) Enjoy If you have any questions let me know. If I've made typo's in the above and it doesn't make sense, let me know. All the best.. Jonathan

Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

Hi
Error -2125
OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
less than 25Gb (my minimum)

If you are getting OSStatus error -2125, I've seen this caused by the computer display sleep settings.
Try changing the sleep settings to never and see if you are able to export.

Why when I make a dvd from an album are my photos not in order?

Why when I make a dvd from an album are my photos not in order?

Why when I make a dvd from an album are my photos not in order?
Simply because your Explorer/Finder only takes into account the file names and dates of your files.
For instance, in Windows, you have to tell the explorer to sort by 'date taken' otherwise the default sort orders are file dates or file names.
If you have given a 'custom' sort order to your albums, the only way for the Explorer to sort in the same way is to set the custom sort order in the album, export to a new folder with the 'rename' option - same starting text string plus order.

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie

What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie?
I am using iMovie 06 (Naturally) with iDVD 08. I have always used;
iMovie 06, File > Share to iDVD 08. And got pretty good results.
Some say the best way is to quit iMovie 06, open iDVD and import the movie from the Media button.
I have tried both methods in the results look the same. I'm interested in getting the very best quality possible.

You likely have one of the most expensive media converter boxes on the market today.
But does it work well with most macs? (my guess is that it does). But more specifically can it "handshake" with an intel based mac? I personally haven't tried it.
But you may want to read this for yourself if you haven't already:

Assuming it works then the best format is .dv which this unit will support apparently.

Apple no longer sells iDvd. You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.

How to make a dvd from an iPhoto 9 slideshow?

How do I make a dvd from an iphoto 9 shideshow with a macbook pro

You cannot export it as a movie, the only way is to export it as a slide show. Select the quality (bare in mind the higher the quality, the more space it will take up) and click export. It is compatible with ipod touch, iphone 4+, ipad apple tv, mac and PC. Select automatically send slidshow to Itunes, and you can sync it with any device.

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's. I got a dvd camcoder, to be able to play them into DVD player I had to finalize my disks. Now I got several DVD's whith short files and terrible custom camera menu. I'd like to make it more presentable.
The main problem is I dont want to recode my vob files. So Final Cut and other editing soft is bad idea.
Is there any soft on mac I could reauthor my DVD's?

For the beginner: Make a DVD from DV

KEYWORDS:
Interlace, chop, streak, line, DVD, motion, action, mouse, teeth, blinds
PURPOSE:
Provide a condensed procedure to help the beginner easily convert his/her mini-DV camcorder video into a highest quality DVD using FCP, Compressor and DVDStudioPro.
BACKGROUND:
I was frustrated beyond words with the quality of video coming out of a standard, no-bells/whistles vanilla DVD produced by FCP/Compressor/DVDStudioPro. I knew it was a user error and not a problem with the software. After days of research and headache and thousands of discussions on the subject I was finally successful in producing a DVD that I was proud of.
PROCEDURE:
1) Capture your video using FCP. I use Capture Now feature. My capture settings were 'FireWire NTSC' and 'DV NTSC 48kHz'
2) Edit your sequence to your likings. Don't forget to add chapter markers!
3) Verify Field Dominance is 'Lower (Even)' - most DV camcorders use this setting. HD uses Upper. Check your device manual to be sure. This can be done by selecting the sequence and right-click -> settings. My settings were framesize 720x480, Aspect ratio 'NTSC DV (3:2), Pixel AR 'NTSC CCIR 601/DV 720x480', Field Dominance 'Lower (Even)', Compressor 'DV/DVCPRO-NTSC' Quality 100%, left audio as-is.
4) Using the 'group selection tool', select all elements in your timeline from start to end.
5) In top menu choose 'effects' -> 'video filters' -> 'video' -> 'de-interlace'
6) Export using 'QuickTime Movie', 'current settings' 'audio and video' 'chapter markers' 'deselect Recompress' 'select Make Movie self contained'
7) Open this output with compressor.
8) In settings window, drill down to 'apple' -> 'DVD' -> 'DVD: Best Quality 90 min'. Notice the Field Dominance is in AUTO. This is never good from what I've read and experienced. So, click on the 'duplicate selected setting' and this creates a 'custom' preset.
9) Modify your custom preset video format for Aspect ration 4:3 and field dominance of 'Progressive'.
10) Save preset
11) Drag your new custom video preset to your asset
12) Drag the existing Dolby Digital Prof 2.0 audio preset to your asset
13) Submit. You can view progress by clicking 'Batch Monitor' then selecting the computer doing the work. This should create m2v and ac3 files
14) Using DVDStudioPro, import your m2v and ac3 files
15) Build your DVD menus
16) Viola! Non streaky, non choppy, perfect DVD that would make your Mom proud!
THEORY/LESSONS LEARNED:
1) Several discussions imply you could run into problems choosing 'export using compressor' within FCP. That is why it is recommended you 'export with Quicktime' first.

Fiaafnr
Gary is not wrong, de-interlacing should not be a requisite for creating a good looking DVD from your NTSC DV edits. That you are seeing choppy results due to field order issues suggests that something is awry in your workflow, that de-interlacing fixes it seems to confirm this. If you outline the specific steps you were taking before, that produced the choppy result, with the same clarity with which you describe your current workflow, then someone might be able to spot the problem.
All that said and done, I'm a strictly PAL HD broadcast kind of guy, I don't do NTSC or DVD so I can't really claim any first hand authority on the matter.
What happens if you simply export your movie from the FCP timeline using Export > Quicktime Movie and then drop that directly into DVDSP and/or iDVD and/or Toast?

How to make a DVD from MPEG-2 clips without re-encoding?

I have many standard DVDs (in MPEG-2 unfortunately) with unedited video footage. I want to extract the best parts of those DVDs and compile them to a new DVD without re-encoding (no fancy scene transitions needed).
I have a program called Cinematize 2, that lets me rip the parts I want as "Main Video Stream" (QT), Elementary streams or MPEG2- Program streams. I can save audio and video as one or two separate files. Which ones works best with DVDSP? I would prefer to save as MPEG-2 Program Stream (one file), as these files can also be played back on the computer with the VLC player.
If I have many different MPEG-2 clips, if I make a DVD with DVDSP, can those clips be played back to back like a movie?
I would appreciate any advice on how to to this the best way I want to have as many options open to me as possible in the future. In particular, in which state or format I should save the files from the DVDs, so that I am both able to watch them individually with VLC as well as edit them together in FCP or DVDSP.
Thanks,
Don

Don
You do need to use separate video and audio files, and Streamclip can do it right (I never used Cinematize!).
And can it work with AC3 as well as WAV and AIFF
You can use AIFF (uncompressed) audio and/or Dolby AC3. If you can try using AC3 audio in your DVD-R projects because first, it takes less space that AIFF (using AC3 you can fit 120 min of high quality video in a 4.7 disc) and second, because it has a lower bitrate. Using AIFF is a very common cause of formatting errors and playback problems, because highbitrate errors.
I have yet not used DVDSP, so I'm not familiar with the process.
You can visit [Drew13's site|http://www.dvdstepbystep.com> for some good tutorials.
Hope that helps !

Unable to make a DVD from a book I have made in I-photo 09

Hi.
I have just loaded i-life 09 and seem unable to make a dvd of books I have made in I-photo.
This was a straight forward process with i-photo 08.
It is as if it tries to pull one image only from the album.
I generally make the book up, go to Share... click Send to I-dvd, and then it all loads up from there.
I then create the finished dvd, of the book already made.
This does not happen now.
It tries to up load and comes up with preparing or sending to I dvd, but does nothing from that point, where it used to before.
I can only think it is a glitch with i life 09.
Is there a fix out there!!
Thanks in advance.

I can't answer your question, but maybe you can help me as you say it is easy to transfer an iphoto08 slideshow to idvd and burn it. I transferred the slide show OK and its name appeared on the idvd main page but when I selected it and burned it I got only a burn of the default first idvd page with the rotating theme and the name of my slideshow on it! The slideshow did look correct when I doubleclicked on it and it played in Preview. How do i get it to burn?

Problem to boot up installation DVD from another optical drive.

Hello, i am trying to install the Snow Leopard OS to my MBA (10.5.2) using the optical drive of my iMac (Lion). The moment i power up the MBA (with the option button being pressed) after i log into the wi-fi network, the only boot device i see is the Macintoxcv hard drive. Which is the MBA's hard drive.
I dont see the Optical drive of my iMac with the installation dvd inside. They are both in the same wi-fi network and the sharing is on.
If i log into the MBA i am able to remotely run the DVD but the system says that my hard drive is corrupted and i need to boot from the dvd and that i shouldn't worry because the problem will be resolved during the installation of the Snow Leopard. But i cant boot from the DVD as i previously stated.. ANy ideas?
PS. Under application/utilities on my iMac (the source DVD) i dont have the option Remote Install Mac OS to clic on.

Apple has restricted booting from optical drives to only internal ones, also I hear you can't install Windows from a external optical drive neither.
The solution in your case is to create a 10.6 install USB
http://www.maciverse.com/reinstalling-os-x-on-macbook-air.html
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
You have to decide if you want to backup files off the machine, take your chances and upgrade your present 10.5 (which has your free iLife on it) installed copy (stable or not) to 10.6 then to 10.6.8, or
if your 10.5 installed is not exactly stable, then backup files off the machine and erase and reinstall 10.5 (which has your free iLife on it) and then upgrade to 10.6 then to 10.6.8, then Disk Utility > Repair disk (from the 10.6 USB) then install 10.6 programs fresh and files from backup or
erase the 10.5 install completely from the 10.6 USB and install 10.6.3 (no free iLife)
iLife doesn't come on the 10.6.3 Retail Upgrade disks, also you can't use another Mac's 10.6 disk to install SL on your machine.
If your 10.5 installed is stable, then consider a backup of files off the machine (disconnect any other drive) and simply upgrading 10.5 to 10.6, it will keep all your presently installed programs, although a few will require updating.
To boot off the USB, you need to hold the option key down.
Now on Mac's with a DVD drive, when the SL 10.6 disk is simply inserted, one runs a program that reboots and upgrades 10.5 to 10.6
Since you will be booted from the USB, you will have to select to install 10.6 onto the 10.5 drive, it only does that and not touches your third party programs or your files. (but backup anyway in case things go wrong)
You neeed this disk to create the USB from, can only be ordered online now as I hear.

If your considering upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 Appstore, let me give you some valuable advice.
10.5 Intel machines are rather dated, if it's not a 64 bit processor Lion can't be installed (no Intel Core Duo's, they are 32 bit)
Your going to have a dated video card, Lion is slower than Snow Leopard.
You need a minimum of 2GB of RAM, 4GB+ is reported to be better for Lion.
Lion does not allow you to run your 10.5 programs in Rosetta like 10.6 does, so Lion requires all new software.
In my opinion a dated machine having to buy all new software is a waste of money, spend the $29 for Snow Leopard and pretty much everything you presently have in software investment will work.
My opinion is to save Lion for a new machine, your machine will run better on 10.6 than 10.7 glitch issues.
Check this database for programs that are ready for Lion
