One (last!) question about SL "packs"

I've read many of the questions about the $29 upgrade vs. the "box" - and the "family" pack, too. I am confused! I have an Intel desktop iMac running 10.4.11. I also have a MacBook running 10.5. Do I have to buy all three of these products to get both machines on the same version of the OS?

You can by the "upgrade" ($29 US), and the "box-set" ($169 US) for a completely legit upgrade and both will then be running Snow Leopard.
Alternatively you can by the only "box-set" family pack, and both machines can run Snow Leopard and iLife 09 and iWork 09.
Cheers,
Rodney

  • One last question about apple tv!! viewing movies in movies folder

    thanks to those who have responded to my previous questions.
    thinking of buying an apple TV this weekend, but here's my last question (which I just thought of!)
    i've got a collection of movies in various formats, usually .mov or .dv of home videos i've made in FCE and iMovie over the years, some of them several GB in size (oops!)
    what's the best way of viewing these on the apple tv. for instance
    1. does apple TV let you look into your 'movies' folder in the home folder to play any movies it finds there
    2. will it play .dv or .mov files, or does it need to be a specific format
    3. i've noticed an 'export to apple tv' in quicktime pro, do i need to do this for all my movies before apple tv will play them. and after i do an 'export to apple tv' where do the files need to be? imported into itunes, or just sat in my 'movies' folder?
    cheers, looking forward to visiting the apple store tomorrow!

    1. does apple TV let you look into your 'movies' folder in the home folder to play any movies it finds there.
    No, the tv uses itunes for its source of movies.
    2. will it play .dv or .mov files, or does it need to be a specific format
    DV, no. MOV, maybe. MOV is a container type not a compression type, if the MOV container has the correct compression formats in it then it will play. Movies for the tv need to be either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10 (H264/AVC)
    3. i've noticed an 'export to apple tv' in quicktime pro, do i need to do this for all my movies before apple tv will play them. and after i do an 'export to apple tv' where do the files need to be? imported into itunes, or just sat in my 'movies' folder?
    Yes 'export to tv' will do the job for you. You need to be aware though that DV with the wrong field dominance will cause it a problem, and some cameras do use the wrong field dominance. It won't work with muxed files (mpeg2 for example) and on SD movies it can be a little wasteful on space. I've always used mpegstreamclip to convert from DV.
    Of course from now on you'll be using FCE with this in mind and exporting accordingly.

  • One last question about capturing from tape

    I have a box full of family VHS tapes that I will be capturing into the computer to digitally archive. However, I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way. These are the two things most important to me:
    1. Quality
    2. Longevity
    1. Quality
    I have a VHS/MiniDV JVC SR-VS30 deck connected via firewire into my 2014 iMac. I know that firewire is typically the best option when capturing DV footage into the computer. However, is this still true for VHS and other forms of old tape. I can hook anything up to this deck via composite/s-video in and go out through the firewire connection. However, I wasn't sure if firewire was the best coming from a VHS tape. I also have an old video capture card that has a straight s-video/composite input. Which would be more native to the VHS/analog tapes as far as keeping original quality and the best possible image?
    When I use the JVC deck, some programs will capture the vhs tapes and others won't because they won't recognize unless I'm using the DV side. For example, FCPX recognizes the deck, but when I go to import unless it's a dv, it will say "no tape" and I cannot capture anything. iMovie will capture files as .DV. Quicktime will also recognize the deck and capture files as apple prores MOV files. When I compare the QT and iMovie, the QT files look better in my opinion, though I don't know if they truly are. The iMovie dv files have jagged edges like tv lines or something during quick movement and like others say about firewire it looks a little "milky" (though I know this isn't necessarily a bad thing). The QT clips don't necessarily look sharper, but they don't have the hideous jagged edges.
    So my question before I start this large project is:
    Which capture methods above would you use, or what else would you recommend for best quality?
    2. Longevity
    Which file format would you recommend saving these files (or just keeping them as they are at capture) for long term storage? When I come back to these files in 10 years and need to convert them to something new, I want them to have the greatest chance of being compatible with whatever lies ahead. There are so many different file formats.
    Many thanks for any help along this long process

    I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way.
    I have done lots of that.
    For maximum quality here is my procedure:  ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09/11. 
    To get your VHS video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300 .  With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).
    The ADVC300 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The included software (which is not really necessary but does enhance performance) is not compatible with OS 10.7 or newer.  You can still find the ADVC300 for sale in a few outlets as well as eBay. It will sell between 50% and 100% ABOVE its retail price. Yes, it's that good.
    If you can’t find the ADVC300, use the Grassvalley ADVC110.
    I have a drawer full of analog-to-digital converters.   After using the Grass Valley ADVC300 I find nothing else acceptable.
    The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source (VCR, Tivo, Satellite Receiver) and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
    I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
    iMovie 09, 11, and 13 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.  (Also the latest iMovie CANNOT set Chapeters !)
    After lots of experimenting I get the best results using OS 10.6, iMovie 06, and iDVD 09/11.  My movies look just like Hollywood!
    My primary computer is a Mac Pro, so I just use one of the four hard drives and boot OS 10.6. You can also partition a single hard drive to achieve the same results.
    This may seem like more trouble than you want to go through.  However, I find the superior quality to be well worth it.

    (please forgive my ignorance)
    Question 1:  Will a PCIe Express 2.0 X16 work in the slot ?  The PCI Express slots are backward compatible.  Therefore, the PCI Express 2.0 will work in PCI Express 1.0 slot.  Here are the System Requirements for the game.  The recommended video card is a HD 4870 or larger.
    Question 2: The intergraded video on the mother board uses ddr2 memory can the video card I purchase use gddr3 memory ?  Once the dedicated video card is installed the Integrated Video is disabled.  Therefore, they are independent of one another.  The major conecern when buying a dedicated video card is, the wattage required for it to operate properly.  I believe that the power supply unit (PSU) in your computer may be 250W to 300W.  You can check the lable on the PSU to find the wattage.  It will be difficult to find a video card that will operate with that wattage.

  • One last question about building and formatting

    When I am writing my DLT do I need to remove the .layout file and the Data.lay file? It will already be built but I will be using DVDSP3 to write the DLT. Are they removed automatically? The manual seems ambiguous about this.
    Also I need to output in the DDP2.0 format (Its a DVD-9). I can't select this without choosing build and format. I have been testing by building to my desktop and testing on the Apple DVD player. If I choose build and format will it rebuild the project? And if it rebuilds is it possible for me to get something besides what I have been checking? I just want to make sure I write the same thing to the DLT that I have been checking.

    you can also get ddp by just doing format as opposed to build and format. You can not open a ddp image in dvd player to test it, so there really is no use of building it to your hard drive. If you have already built the project and you have a video ts folder, then you can go under format and choose the dlt drive as your location and make sure you are referencing the folder with the videots in it.
    there wont be anychanges from the video ts after it has been built, it is merely converting it into a ddp image.

  • Canon HG20 One Last Question

    Before I buy my Canon HG20, I have one last question.
    I have seen warnings various places on the net about having a powerful enough computer to work with the data produced by this camera.
    I have an iMac 24 2.16 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 MHz Memory, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 card, running OS X 10.5.6 with FCE 4.0.1.
    Am I OK?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    That is a perfect machine for AVCHD editing. i use a puny Macbook and I have experienced no problems, everything is very fast. To work with AVCHD, you need an Intel processor and to have at least FCE4. 2GB of RAM is also a good idea to have (I assume that's what you meant you had when you said you had "2 MHz Memory"). From what you have said of your specs, I can't foresee any problems. If a Macbook can do it well, you can expect an iMac to do it amazingly.
    Enjoy your new camcorder, I definitely am pleased with my HG21 (basically the same thing, just more memory and a viewfinder).

  • Thanks for the idea. One last question..

    Thanks for the replies, setting it to passive seemed to work
    as I can now upload to my host. Just one last question, I've
    searched the video knowledge base looking for a video on how to use
    the 'Starter Pages' within Dreamweaver to no avail. When I try I
    always get the same message: 'Dreamweaver stores templates in the
    root folder of a site, but there are no sites defined. Please add a
    site.' I have my site all layed out in Dreamweavers FTP, I can
    upload and download with it and still Dreamweaver gives me this.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks once again all

    Using FTP & RDS Server for your site means that you will
    not be able to use
    DW's Templates or Library items. It's usually a very bad
    idea, to boot.

  • One more question about upgrading HD

    EVeryone was really helpful last time, I have one final question:
    Does the name matter for the HD?
    I have bought my HD, used SuperDuper and am actually already working off the new HD via Firewire.
    Does it matter what I NAME the new Drive? When I used Super Duper I called it "New Startup". The current HD is called "Macintosh HD". Is this a problem?
    Thanks guys!

    @Niel: How about localized chars (ä, ß, î, etc.) and such ones that may have a special technical meaning (like /, *, -) ?

  • Question about auto packing

    Hello,
    as i saw the post about auto packing in delivery
    the config steps are described as follow
    1) Create the packing Material In MM01 of material Type 'VERP'
    2) Create packing Instructions from TA: POP1
    3) packing Determination in POF1 ... for MM Condition type is RCPT and for SD its is SHIP. So create condition records here.
    4) In Customization SPRO-> Logistic Execution-> Shipping-> Deliveries->Define Delivery Types
    In Delivery, there is Check box for automatic packing.
    First , i tried to create condition value in POF1 for SHIP as condition type and put my Packing instruction e.g. 233 into it.
    but it wont work in my delivery e.g. LF.
    secondly I tried to create in POF1 for ZVPA, with my Packing Instruction 233, and then it works in my delivery.
    So my question is, the condition type for HU/ Auto Packing, how are they connected to my documents/ processes e.g. I use OR as sales order, and LF as delivery.
    in the Picture below, i can see both condition type SHIP and ZVPA are using SHIP as acc.sequence. So which condition would be used when I create my delivery ? and how to configure that?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    this defined in custo:
    Click on maintain packing transaction profile and the select for instance 0002 Outbound delivery
    Here is defined what procedure determination will be used in entry field Determ. proc. for pkg intrs
    Then you define for this procedure what conditions will be available
    Select the procedure determination you defined in previous step and you maintain the conditions

  • One Last thing about Hard reset..!!!

    Hi Guys,
    Read few post about Hard reset on N95. Still need to clarify one last thing. If I do a hard rest, does it clear all the unwanted small small files in the phone memory? In addition, if I install a trial version, will it allow me to use even if the software is expired before the hard reset?
    Message Edited by wumesh on 06-Jan-2008 03:16 PM

    Thanks again for your prompt response.
    45. My device "died" during an update. What should I do?
    Yes, try hard rest, if it doesn’t work take to the Care Point
    I agree with you, no one has mentioned whether it is healthy to do the hard reset. Even for soft reset I don’t think so but I assume it doesn’t have much of an impact to the device.
    My main requirement for hard resetting is that I have tried many third-party applications with my N95 and I know that even I have removed them all, there are some files are in my phone memory. When I search for clear the unwanted, I didn’t find any better way than hard resting.

  • One last question - default...

    Okay, now that i've got my new AEBS on the net and printing wirelessly, one last thing is bugging me. Whenever i put my iBook to sleep, upon wake up, it always selects my neighbor's wireless network, and not my new AEBS. The neighbors (our friends) haven't secured their network, so my mac can join without a problem. But it will select it even though the new AEBS's signal is much stronger! Is there a way that i can ensure it selects our base station first over any other networks?

  • One more question about "snap to" points in audio objects

    sorry, one more question people.............. is there a way to set a "snap to" point in an audio region? Can I have logic set a point, or an "anchor" within an audio region that would coincide with the cursor. Once I get the cursor to a bar or a beat, is there a command that would allow a "snap to" point to be created in an audio object? That way I could clean up any "noise" or "chatter" at the beginning of an audio bounce or any audio object, and still have no problem pasting it all over my arrangement. I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but can't find it in the manual..
    thanks again!!!

    The anchor point in an audio region can be moved to wherever you want it to be. Let's say you recorded a loud piano bass note and afterwards you trimmed the file so that the attack of this sound happens right at the beginning of the audio region. Your anchor point will now coincide with the begnning of that region. This means that you can place that audio at, say, bar 37 and it's guaranteed that the attack of that sound will play exactly at bar 37. In this case anchor point = position of audio region in the Arrange Window.
    Even though you haven't played a MIDI note into the song in order to place this audio region, an "event" is generated for this sound which can be viewed in a special version of the Event Editor which shows the position of all audio regions in the arrangement. Access this by simply clicking on a blank area of the Arrange window and then opening the Event Editor.
    So let's say this sound is positioned at bar 37. Open the Event Editor (as described above) and you'll see an event at 37 1 1 1 and the name of that audio region to its right. In this case, the event's position = the start of the sound file = the position of the anchor within that sound file. If you changed the position of that event to 38, or 109, or 3, that audio region will be "triggered" at any of those positions. That sound will always "attack" on a downbeat.
    Now let's say you reversed that pinao note in order to create a dramatic swell into a section of your song. (Open the sample editor and use the Reverse function). At this point, the anchor point is still positioned at the beginning of the file! Play back the sequence (from our bar 37) and the audio will play back from bar 37, only backwards this time; the peak of that piano note will be at some point later than 37.
    So let's say you wanted to position this sound so that it hits exactly on the downbeat of bar 37. How do you do it? Well, you could always slide the audio file in the Arrange Window and try to line up the attack of the audio waveform with the downbeat of bar 37, but there's an easier way...
    Open the sample editor and move the anchor point to the end of the file, coinciding with the peak of the waveform (the piano's attack is now at the end because we reversed the audio). Next, close the sample editor window, click on a blank area in the Arrange Window and open the Event Editor. You'll see that this audio region is still positioned at bar 37, but the actual beginning of the sound file now starts before bar 37. Now when you play back, Logic will start playing that sound file before bar 37, but the audio's peak will be lined up at bar 37.

  • A question about Jam Pack language

    Hi there,
    This may be a silly question, but I figure I had better ask it, because when a software package is opened, you own it, right?
    I live in Germany, and I was in the local Mac dealer's, looking at the Jam Packs. I want the Symphony Orchestra pack, but was told that the version they had on hand in the shop was only in German. As my OS is in English (as is my version of Logic Express) will my computer have any problem reading and categorizing the Audio Instruments and loops if they are auf Deutsch? I don't want to open up the pack only to find that the Loop Browser can't categorize the instruments/loops, and then not get my money back.
    OTOH, a large-ish online music store here in Germany sells the Jam Packs, and gives the same product number on their German and English pages for the same item. This makes me wonder whether or not the Jam Pack will install in the language of one's OS, and that only the documentation is only in German.
    Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
    Many Thanks!
    Vielen Dank!
    Glenn

    The pianos do sound very nice, although I can't justify €250.00 on that right now. I still need to get a RME FF400, and a FW HDD.
    Oh, and probably EZ Drummer, as well, unless someone has had an ugly experience with it.
    Oh, and Logic Pro down the road, too.
    I keep telling my wife that 'this is the last thing for a while, I promise!'
    Something tells me that I had better keep that promise...
    Cheers,

  • Come on people, just one last question. ;)

    I had this from my last post, but this last thing was never answered. Just think of it this way, once I've got this down, I won't bother you guys for at least a week. :)
    I think I remember hearing something about BufferedWriter was the 'better' way to do it, and that it was 'better' than PrintWriter. Why is it better to 'Buffer' something, is PrintWriter already Buffered?
    Thanks for helping!

    there is no answer for you on this one, trunks. maybe you should search google if you really care that much.

Maybe you are looking for
