Oft-asked question but can't find an answer that's worked thus far

I know this is a question that is oft-asked, from reading through the many posts - so I apologize for asking again! But after a couple of days of going through posts/tutorials/manuals, I'm still having trouble finding a way to fix my issue of getting a two hour movie onto a DVD5. I think my main issue is being overwhelmed by compression settings options and not knowing which to choose.
Would rather not do a dual-layer disk in iDVD since it's not compatible of older players. I don't need a fancy menu. Anyone have any links to a resource they've found helpful on the topic? I'm all about doing my own legwork, just hasn't turned up anything yet!
I have:
Toast
Compressor
DVDSP
FCP
iDVD
If there's other info that would be helpful to have from me about my project, let me know.
Thanks much!
April

You can fit 2 hours of video in your DVD. You msut use any of the *DVD 120 min* presets in Compressor but be sure of selecting MPEG2 video and *AC3 (Dolby)* audio. If you uses uncompressed audio it will not fit.
Uses those files in DVDSP and author your basic DVD. Learn about * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP * and use Toast to burn your disc image.
Don't trust DVDSP size meter. Try building your project to check the real final size.
Hope that helps !

  • Simple question but can't find an answer anywhere

    This must surely be a very easy question for someone to
    answer (although I can't find an answer from any tutorial or
    forums, despite lots and lots of Google searching).
    I want to create a link from one SWF file to another (when
    these two files are 'stand alonE', not online). How do I it?
    I've managed to use Actionscript to create links to a website
    and another scene within the same SWF, so I'm surprised that this
    is proving so much more difficult.
    The script I have that's not working is:
    lesson1_btn.onRelease = function (){
    gotoAndStop("lessons.swf");
    (BY THE WAY Before you recommend I put everything online,
    this is for coursework and it specifies that the whole thing must
    be stand-alone.)
    Could the problem be with my Flash Player or the way I'm
    vieiwng the SWF? It doesn't work in test mode but neither does it
    work when I open the SWF directly from it's location.

    I'm not sure what you're doing with the
    gotoAndStop("lessons.swf"); command - whether lessons.swf is
    a scene or a frame label. If its a scene, then I think you need a
    frame number as well. (actually I don't know - I don't use this
    function)
    But you
    might want to take a look at the comments at the bottom of
    this page, I think - not sure if its relevant, but it seems like it
    could be :

  • Silly question but can not find an answer online ..

    Hi have been watching the photoshop adobe tutorials which are fantastic however I have a frustrating problem which I can not seem to find a fix. Ive taken a screen shot to show what I mean ...
    When viewing the video ,  I hit the expand screen button it jumps to full screen and unfortunately the play/pause/stop bar hides some of the tutorial video. The bar does disappear sometimes but if I pause the video or move the mouse it appears again obscuring the information .
    I can not resize the video by dragging like one normally would  I have looked at safari preferences its an iMac and also tried the command  minus but this does not work either so the current options are either a very small screen which is hard to read or a full screen with bottom part obscured .
    Apologies in advance if there is a obvious answer which I suspect there is but Ive spent ages trying to find the solution .
    Thanks in advance

    Maximize your browser window and use theater mode (third icon from right)  to make the clip as wide, without actually making it fullscreen. There's also some shortcut keys explained in the YouTube help, but they are not available for every player type (being that some require Flash and don't work with the HTML5 players). Do some digging via Google and you're sure to find it. You can also try to copy&paste the video URL and then append the various player options to view it without a control bar. that's also explained in the YT help.

  • Obvious Question but can't find the Answer

    Folks,
    There have been an number of references in these forums and elsewhere to using workflows to achieve various desired results from ActiveSync. However active sync. configurations only provide hooks for a pre and post workflows. So for a per account workflow hook I need to call this workflow from the Active Sync Form.
    How does one call/invoke a workflow from a standard form.

    Jerry
    I may be just an idiot but I can't for the life of me get either of the approches mentioned in this thread to go.
    As per your approach I've created a form
    <Form name='AD-Active-Sync-processOption-Form'>
    <Display class='EditForm'/>
    <Field name='sourceOptions.Process'>
    <Expansion>
    <s>AD-ActiveSync-Workflow</s>
    </Expansion>
    <Disable>
    <neq>
    <ref>feedOp</ref>
    <s>create</s>
    </neq>
    </Disable>
    </Field>
    </Form>
    And I see no indication that it's triggering off to the associated workflow.
    Thoughts?

  • I am trying to transfer files from my PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.4.11) to my new iMac (Mountain Lion).  Migration assistant tells me I need to upgrade migration assistant on the G4, but I can't find a download that will work for anything older than OSX 10.5.

    Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along.  It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion.  I just tried to use Migration Assistant.  It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5.  Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
    Thanks!

    You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

  • Searching but can't find an answer to my question

    I am relatively new to the world of Mac and I think I am adjusting well but I have been trying to get my printer to connect wirelessly through an airport express since August with no luck. The printer works fine if connected directly to my macbook but when I try to choose the printer through bonjour I get an error 9672 message. I see the printer in the bonjour window but it gets the error when trying to add the printer. Can anyone help???????????

    Use the process outlined here:

    Using the Gimp-Print drivers for the HP PhotoSmart P1000 printer.
    The supplied HP C3180 drivers will not work when the printer is connected to an Airport base station.

  • Easy question but I cannot find the answer, HELP!

    This particular FLA files is a flash site that has about ten
    different pop-ups for several links (more testimonials, more
    services, more information, etc.). I've tried for the past ten days
    (about 3 hours per day) to find the exact location of the popups to
    go ahead and modify the text in them to suit what I need them to
    say but I have not been able to find them. The only pop-up that I
    have found is located on the left side of the work space, I tried
    toggling to practically every single option and frame, but whatever
    I modify changes every other pop-up and I need to work on the
    pop-ups individually. Anyone who can put me out of this misery,
    would be rewarded with not having to see my question on this forum
    again. I can email the FLA file, (about 400 kb) to anyone with a
    heart to help or is there a way to upload it here? Thank
    you!

    wow, this things a mess LOL!!!! well I found that the text is
    actually IN the fields on the Stage, or several levels deep in the
    many many movieclips and layers used to construct this. NONE of the
    'dynamic' textFields have instance names, big no no. there's no way
    that you can target them (well you could but ...) to assign text to
    them ... so the only thing to do is go to each field and enter your
    own text (which defeats the purpose of making them dynamic fields),
    you'll find that in most cases, the color of the text in the field
    has been set to an 'alpha' value of 0, which is why you cant see
    it. although I haven't gone through the whole doc, i see no code
    anywhere that is assigning any text( not to mention that you can't
    because the field are not named). If you bought this as a template,
    there should be documentation that came with it, instructing you on
    the methods to assign text to the various categories. if not ...
    you got taken, although it looks nice, it will be an incredible
    pain to go through and edit it to be what you want it to be, due to
    the nature of it's construction, and the fact that there seems to
    be absolutely no user interface what-so-ever. I would contact the
    company that made the product. And I could be missing something
    too, more that possible, lol!!
    good luck :)

    Sorry, this is not a problem with printers, drivers, etc., but with this support site.

    So...I click on the link to this category of issues but where is his reply?? where is my original post??
    Thanks for help. It's probably some easy thing I should click but I'm darned if I can see it.

  • My iPod Touch 2G fell in water for about 2 seconds and I can't find a solution that will work to fix it. What can I do?

    What is a successful solution to fix my iPod Touch 2G?I do NOT have a warranty on it. It fell in water 2 days ago and it has been in a bag of rice since, but it won't work. It does show a water damaged screen, nothing else and no sound. I don't even know if it's on or off. Please help?

    You should continue to dry it in rice for a week and change the rice daily.
    All you can do is dry the iPod. Turning on the iPod before it is dry can can cause permanent damage.

  • I know it's been posted, but can't find podcast in the store

    I've read all the post about this issue, but can't find an answer to my situation. I have submitted and had a podcast approved a week ago. It is not searchable yet in the iTS. Feed is fine. Name is Mr. B's Classroom.
    feed: http://julius.centura.k12.ne.us/~boelhower_j/Site/Podcast/rss.xml
    Thanks for the help.

    Good morning Roger,
    I have that site to view the podcast. But I just went to iTS and could not find the podcast. I had a colleague try on their computer and they could not find it either.
    I am using iWeb to produce the podcast. I am new to this, when I submitted the podcast it had my name listed (so I thought). I looked at the tec questions and I do not understand how to get my name added? Thank you for your time helping, and I am sure I am frustrating veterans at this. Sorry, I'm trying.
