Please help me! I did a slideshow presentation in Powerpoint, then captured the end result in SnapzPro. Now what is the best way to burn this to a disc so that it can be watched on any pc / mac without losing quality? Its poor when I burn it via iDVD.

Its crucial to keep the quality as best as possible, as this is a portfolio of my professional photographs and graphic design projects. Is there any need to go through iMovie? I captured it as an Animation in SnapzPro, which is now in a Mpeg4 Quickmovie format.

_Share" the highlight as suggested_
Thanks Lennart..... I'm not sure I know what you meant by the above.
Do you mean that I share the little clips I want to use in the 'best of project'?
I read the MacWorld article.... it's great thanks!
I want to keep all these converted movies on my hard drive because down the road I want to extract other clips from them so I can make a 'best of' movie for my other family members. I may want to do that next year.... or whatever..... so I want to have the imovies available for me when that time comes.
In order to do this am I going to have to buy a lot..... and I mean ALOT of extra hard drive space? That darn Canopus was really making files for me that were like 60-80GB's per one half hour movie!!
Hey, I really appreciate all the time you are spending with me on this topic. Making these imovie memories are so very important to me.

  • How to Transfer Slideshow to Another Mac without Losing Quality

    I produced a 93-picture slideshow with iPhoto6, Ken Burns, music, all excellent quality. I want to send it to a friend to be played on her MacBook Pro in exactly the same high quality (clarity, resolution, transitions, music) as I enjoy on mine.
    If I publish it on .Mac I keep the high quality of the photos, but I lose the music and the transitions. If I publish it as a QT movie, I lose the quality of the photos; ditto for iDVD.
    Is some sort of archiving possible, and sending via an ordinary DVD?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    There is a way to do this that involves copying your entire library, paring it down to just the slideshow, and burning the library to DVD.
    1. Close iPhoto. In the Finder, copy your iPhoto Library folder. (Copy the whole folder without opening or taking it apart.) You'll need plenty of disc space available. You might want to make the copy on your desktop to avoid confusion.
    2. Rename the copied iPhoto Library folder. (Ex: "iPhoto Slideshow Library ")
    3. Hold the Option key while you launch iPhoto. Click "Choose Library" then navigate to the iPhoto Slideshow Library folder. iPhoto will now open the copied library.
    4. In iPhoto, delete all photos and albums that aren't needed for the slideshow. Remember to use iPhoto Trash and to empty it. You might delete in batches of a few rolls at a time, since iPhoto can get fussy if you try to do too much at once.
    5. Your new library should now contain only the slideshow and its photos. Close iPhoto. You may want to Option-Launch again and point to your regular library now, to avoid confusion the next time you open iPhoto.
    6. Use the Finder to burn the iPhoto Slideshow Library folder to DVD. (Use the Finder's get info to check that it is about 4.2 Gb or less. That's about all you can reasonably expect to fit.) Since you are burning an entire library, the disc will contain the necessary database files to play the slideshow on any Mac that has iPhoto 6.

  • I need help figuring out the best way to convert analogue video to DV so that I can edit it.

    I have a large number of VHS and hi8 tapes that I want to convert to high quality DV.
    I have a couple of options. One is an Elgado Video capture system.
    The other is a Sony Digital Media Converter Box (DVMC-DA2).
    I have tried a few of the less important tapes using the Elgado Video Capture system. It only allows you to convert to MPEG4 or H.268. It is not very good quality, especially for archival items or items I would later wish to edit.
    I also have the Sony Digital Media Converter Box. I have heard that this is a superior option. So far, though, I have only been able to figure out how to import using an old version of iMovie HD. This makes a large imovie project file (approximately 6.18GB for a 28:30 clip vs a 348.9MB for an MPEG4 using delgado.
    On top of that to convert the file from an iMovieProject file to DV is an additional step that so far looks like will take a half an hour at best.
    Is there any way for me to import VHS/hi8 tapes using the Digital Media Converter Box to creat high quality DV files directly? If so, where can I find this info? What steps should I take and what are the settings I should use.
    I have a lot of tapes so I want to figure out the right and most efficient way to do this because I will be repeating it a bunch of times and would hate to have to start over again.
    I should also mention that I am using a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.9.1
    I'm sorry in advance if this seems like an obvious question, but I have been googling and looking at tutorials on the site and just have not found the answer. There are a lot of ads for expensive low quality services to do this converting for you, so maybe the answer I am looking for is burried in all that advertising.
    Thanks

    Thanks Biggles and Gotz. I just couldint find capture, but now I can! (It was right under my nose too).
    I'm trying it now and it appears to be working. Do you have any other recommendations for capturing from hi8 video source as far as setting go? I am using DV to capture. Are there any other settings I should pay attention to?
    There is an extra line of video noise at the bottom, but when I google it, it sounds like it won't show on most standard tvs and if I want to fix it for online, that I should mask it after the fact vs scaling up the video.

  • How can I reduce a large podcast video without losing quality?

    I am in the process of putting online a podcast video, that I have exported for ipod with quicktime. However, the file is rather large (100MB) and it is complicate for me to break it into smaller files. As I start iWeb it warns me that the file is large and it would require long download times. I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the size of podcast/ipod files without compromising quality too much.
    Thank you very much!

  • How can I watch my movies in ipad without wifi? I saw icloud but it doesn't help

    I want to watch movies bought in itunes without wifi. A couple month before I could do it, but now I can't do it.

    Thanks a lot, that worked.
    Another question:  Is there some simple/easy way to control playing video files on the Ipad2 remotely?  I want to pause/play at will and (ideally) rewind.  I know this can be done by touching the screen and getting the scrubber and the play/pause/ffwd/rwd  bar, but is there some way of doing this remotely?

  • I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?

    I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?
    I was a kid when I made a documentary for a school project. I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve the file. 4 years ago, I was able to get the files off the Iomega Zip drive (finally), but I now see the file is saved as a .A4P. There is also a file saved as a .PKG as well, but I don't know how to open this with my Windows 8 COmputer.

    .a4p is an Authorware v.4 (Windows) project.
    Interesting you have it as a .pkg...usually that's a published-on-a- Mac extension, if I recall.
    At any rate, can you put the file up on a Box, Dropbox, FTP, etc...and send me a URL?
    I should be able to published it so you can view the project (it would be an .exe).
    It can't be converted to anything though - not without manual effort.

  • Can you watch really any video with a nokia 9300?

    I tried rm formats and the only that works is sound, no video at all...Am I doing something wrong?. Can you watch really any video with the Real Media player on Nokia 9300?.
    Any help would be really welcome.

    You cannot watch just any type of media file with realplayer on the 9300/9300i/9500 communicators, video files have to be converted to the 3gp format, there are a number of converter software packages on the net - may of which are free. Try also Nokia's own multimedia converter, downloadeable from Nokia, cheers.

    I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

    Hey Z,
    Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
    Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
    Project:
    - total project duration: 79:04 minutes
    - total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
    Menus:
    - number of menus in project: 1 menus
    - total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
    - total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
    Movies:
    - total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
    - total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
    I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
    If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.
