Newbie ? – QT slideshow for a consumer TV monitor?

Hi.
Tried a search but I'm unsure of terminology, also tried QT FAQ... I usually do design for web and print, but am bidding on a project that includes a single slideshow display on the client premises.
Small scale, microscopic budget... passive (not interactive) 40-page slideshow to play back on an inexpensive consumer 46" flatscreen LCD TV via a similarly-inexpensive consumer DVD player.
Is QuickTime an appropriate app to get that done?... mostly concerned with conflicts going to consumer-grade TV and/or screen size... images must be clear, and play dissolves smoothly.
I tinkered with iDVD briefly, but didn't like what I saw... but again, I don't do video.
Any thoughts?
Any alternative-approach suggestions are very welcome, if they play to the small-scale-microscopic-budget parameter.
Thanks, guys.

.. I tried using iPhoto to export a QT file of an image slideshow....
I would start here to play on the knobs&sliders ..
what were your settings for export? "QT file" => that is many dozends of options of compression, codecs, resolutions, etc. pp ...
the consumer apps FCE and iM are meant for TV display only => reduced res + reduced colors, quality reduced due to interlace (due to TV standards) ...-
a Full Res, h264 encoded qt.mov should display your photos in shining quality ...

Consumer 10bit monitor... best bang for $$ ?

Hello
Seems like there are many brands that sells now 10 bit ips monitors ... HP, Dell, Nec, Asus..... i wonder what would be considered as a best chose based on performance with in 24, 27, 30`?
But also what would be a best bang for the dollar?
Regards
i am going to get 1 of the consumer 10bit monitors , and later with some savings will get 1 of Flanders broadcast monitors for color accuracy!

Dell or NEC would be the 2 best options but more expensive. Asus would be the cheapest but you will definitely want a colorimeter.

Slideshow on a 16/10 monitor

Since I use a 1440x900 screen mode, photos during a slideshow are not in a correct width/height ratio !
How obtain a correct result ?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I take it you've tried all of the
Slideshow format settings, Current Display, 4:3 and 16:9, in the Settings
pane, right?
Yes, I tried. Results are the same for all formats.
You might have to crop your photos to the same ratio, 1.6, as your
monitor in order to get an exact fit to your screen. You can then do a
revert to original when those photos are no longer needed for a slideshow.
In Iphoto, i've chosen 1.6 ratio for all pictures, but without any change in the result !
My pictures are always enlarged.
With my previous monitor which was a 5/4, the 4/3 photos were correctly displayed.
I can't understand how iPhoto makes a slideshow with my 16/10 monitor !

I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading to Maverick.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.

My Apple TV is having problems with slideshows for photos synced from iTunes. How can I make it play thew whole slideshow without starting the loop again half way through?

My Apple TV randomly returns to the beginning in the middle of the slideshow for no reason. I don't habve the photos on shuffle
I started the slide show many times and somtimes it got through 20 photos, other times 50. Then all of a sudden, it goes back to the beginning and starts again. It's so frustrating as there is no reason for this and it doesn't loop back to the start on the same photo each time. I have about 350 photos in the album and they all loaded fine as thumbnails before I played the slideshow.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks, Adam

Have solved my own problem. My PC sits on the floor so I have a four-port USB hub on my desktop with one port in use. I use one of the other three ports for USB-related task. As I was shutting down for the night I had a - what turned out to be inspired - thought about whether there was an adequate power supply from the hub. I then tried the iPod USB connection directly into the front of my machine and everything worked. It seems that an inadequate power supply was the cause of this strange set of conditions.

Can anyone help on this please.

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.

What to look for in an external monitor

I am in the process of changing my editing system to handle hd. I am using a 24" imac 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo. With my sd set up I used a Sony dv/dvcam deck and a JVC professional 13" Monitor. I am purchasing the new JVC gy-hm100u camcorder when it is released in April. I am somewhat confused about having an external monitor hooked up to my system for viewing my FCP projects. (1) What should I look for in the external monitor. Do I want a computer monitor or an HD TV? Once I purchase the external monitor/tv can I get rid of my SD JVC monitor all together. I don't want to spend a lot but I want to make sure I get a monitor with the right specs. (2) What happens if I want to use past dv footage in a new project shot in hd. I do a lot of corporate projects which require the use of old interviews as part of the new productions. Am I going to have an issue doing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

To view HD variants, you'll need a 3rd party card.
You are severely limited with an iMac. Your only real choice is a Matrox MXO driving a 24" Dell or older 23" Apple Cinema Display.
While you can use an AJA ioHD to drive a HDTV, you'll need to connect it via FW800. This is a problem as no other devices can be on the same bus and, since all firewire ports on an iMac are on the same bus, it won't work.
I would not dispose of the Standard Def monitor. If you work with SD material, you'll still need it. HDtvs are lousy devices for monitoring SD.

Maximum Wait for WS Consumer: SOAMANAGER Logical port

Hello Everyone,
I was trying to configure consumer proxy through SOAMANAGER transaction. When you create a Logical port, within Transport setting you can see a Parameter called 'Maximum Wait for WS Consumer' which as per my understanding is the time for which the consumer is required to wait for a response from Provider.
The problem here is i cannot edit that value. The field is disabled with its default value as '0'(wait for infinite amount of time). I want to make that wait period as just 10 secs.
Am i heading in the right direction? If yes, then how can i edit that value?
Regards
Shailesh

Hello Shailesh
You should be able to modify this parameter. See the link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/9e/c7a3591dc74a679bbc9716354e42af/content.htm
Are you able to modify any of the other parameters? Does your user have the required authorizations?

Although letting the player do the job may be the easier way, you might want to explore the use of a free program named InfoEdit that was brought up in a 2010 thread here.

I have not used InfoEdit, but you might find it interesting.

Slideshow For Wake

I've been asked to throw together a slideshow for a wake tomorrow. Given the time constraint, it'll have to be a fairly simple affair with pics, an MP3 or two, some title cards and simple transitions / pan-and-scan / etc. I know to the resize the pics to 1000 x 750. So I think I'm set, except...
I have a question about how to render it...
I'm pretty sure they have a DVD player, so that's Plan A. I thought they could just set up the repeat feature on the DVD player to continously cycle the slideshow, but how would I burn a DVD so that it automatically starts upon repeat? Is it just as simple as not including a menu? Is there anything else I'm missing? I don't want them to plop the DVD in have it not work, or only play once. FWIW, I'm using Taiyo Yuden media (DVD-R, I believe).
But... I also think they have a laptop hooked up via HDMI If so, would that be a better/safer bet than my Plan A? If so, what should I render it as? I'm thinking I'd just throw it on a USB flash drive. I'm not sure what OS they have, so I'd need something that worked on Mac or Win. I'm assuming any Apple or Windows media player would have an auto-repeat function to allow for continious repeat. Oh, and if I'm going this route, what project settings would I use to take advantage of the HD setup (and should I resize the pics to something > 1000x750)?
I'm using PRE 7.
TIA!
ETA: Another option I have is to use Adobe Lightroom to create a slideshow. It would definitely be quicker, although more limited. It can export the entire thing as "H.264 MPEG-4". Is that something I could put on a flash drive? Is it something I could suck into PRE and create a DVD from?

Thanks guys for all the advice!
So one thing I did that worked out well was to do the project as a DVD... but as a widescreen DVD project.
Although it wasn't HD quality, it was HD aspect ratio (or close to it) so there were no ugly black bars. Plus, given that most of the pictures I got from people looked like low-quality JPGs of scanned-in printed photos and camera phone shots, I don't think HD quality would have made much difference.
I created 2 DVDs (great suggestion, Peru Bob) and also exported a .MOV as a "Plan B".
Luckily the DVD worked just fine so Plan B wasn't required (although the funeral home couldn't figure out how to get the "repeat" function to work on their player so they had somebody just stand there and press "Play" when it finished... hey, sometimes the low-tech approach works too! ). But it was sure nice to have a "Plan B" without having to create a 2nd project.
But, man, I forgot how convoluted the "share" options are in PRE 7. It took me a long time to find the right .MOV export stuff, and longer still to figure out how to output it as wide-screen (had to change the screen size and PAR... ugh).
As an aside, I resized all my pics to be 1000 pixels wide. In retrospect, I wonder if they should have been slightly larger for a widescreen project - I think the 1000 px advice is for a standard DVD project. It worked out fine, though. Also no problems with MP3's
In the end, the widescreen DVDs worked great on an HDTV, and everybody got to see a nice send-off for their friend/brother/son, so thanks guys for all the helpful advice.
