Quick question about burning DVD's from an external HD

I have an external HD with my current backup on it. Can I burn this backup to DVD's (Dual Layer) and still be able to boot from the DVD's?

Just a bump

  • Quick question about Creative DVD audio pla

    Hi all,
    I loaded all the drivers and software that came with my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. The kit came with a DVD audio sampler disc. When I put the DVD audio disc into my computer DVD ROM dri've, it automatically navigates to the Creative Audio DVD player. The only problem is that the "play" button is greyed out. It will not play the disc. It show in the staus window that the sampler disc is there and ready to go. I have tried every button but can not get to play.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,

    Now when I launch the DVD audio player and try to click on a button it just freezes up and have to end the program in task manager

  • A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

    Hello ,
    I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3  for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
    - I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
    Thanks Ubergeeks,
    Guy

    Hi Guy
    You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because  a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
    For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

  • QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

    Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
    Nathan

    Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
    However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
    Only experimentation will answer that one.

  • Video sound and picture on tv.. question about burning to DVD

    Hi
    I finally got the picture to show up on the TV. I went into video, settings and turned on the TV out setting. Now I wonder if I can burn the itunes shows I bought onto a dvd?
    Will this be a backup copy incase my computer dies or will I be able to watch this on a dvd player too?
    Anyone know if I should put the shows on a dvd and if I can watch them on my dvd player then?
    Thanks

  • Quick question about DVD quality vs...

    I'm going to be playing back an SD music video. I shot it on a canon XL2 miniDV in 24p 16:9. I will be using a projector (it is HD) to playback on a 110" screen. Do you think I would have better image quality playing the video from a DVD or from a Playstation 3 using a flashdrive to play a high quality AVI file or even possibly H.264... I'm going to test this later but maybe you guys have some thoughts?

    In general, the less compression upon export the better the playback
    A DVD is, by definition compressed to MPEG2 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/544206
    I will GUESS that exporting to AVI will give you the best picture... but, as you say, you need to test

  • Macbook Won't Read Burned DVD+R from DVD recorder

    I have a 2.0 GHz Macbook with 2GB Ram and a good working Optical drive that reads all media formats without any problems EXCEPT burned (and finalized) DVD+R discs from a DVD Recorder (attached to a television). I can play these burned DVDs on stand-alone DVD drives linked to TVs but I cannot play them in my Macbook. I have heard of other people having this problem, yet I have never found a solution for it. Does anyone have any ideas or comments on this topic?
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for the reply Boece.
    To answer your questions:
    I have tried these recorded DVD+Rs in older PC laptops that have had little trouble reading them. I have also tried them in other Macbooks, which have responded similarly to my macbook when inserted.
    I have played commercial DVDs, CDs, and recorded CDs in the drive and have had plenty of success. I have also played recorded DVDs that were made on computers with ease. The only type of media I seem to have problems with are DVDs not recorded on computers.
    I do not have my own recorder, rather I had a friend record the DVDs for me so I don't know about other burn speeds (although I'm quite sure this isn't the problem as the DVDs do read on other computers)
    When the DVDs don't read they simply eject. I never get an icon on the desktop or any error messages. The drive spins up and back down twice, then ejects the recorded DVD+R.

  • Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

    Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
    about it.
    When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
    diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
    Health, Port Utilization.
    Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
    at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
    Is there a way to make them functional?

    Anyone notice performance increase or decrease of their HD when using the nVidia IDE SW drivers?  particularly with a 74GB Raptor?  I've also heard of burner issues when installing the IDE SW but have not used my burner yet.

  • IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

    Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
    1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
    2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
    3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
    4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
    Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
    Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
    Thanks.

    As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
    http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
    You can also present your songs like this...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
    A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
    iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

  • Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

    Hi there,
    I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
    Just a couple of quick questions.
    1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file.  Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead? 
    If so, should I delete the library and start again?  (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
    - a kind of sub-question to this one:  some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD.  Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes?  Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
    2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes.  The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes.  When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes?  Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
    Cheers,

    The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count.  Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
    A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder.  By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
    Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media.  All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
    Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
    You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

  • Quick Question About Ringtones and iPhone

    I've looked through the discussions and could not find my answer. If you know of a discussion already posted please refer me to that.
    Question: After buying a song from iTunes is there a statute of limitations governing the song's ability to create a ringtone?
    None of the songs that I bought before my iPhone can be made into ringtones and songs that I bought a few days ago, which initially I could make into a ringtone, but did not, now can no longer be made into a ringtone.
    Also, is there any program besides iTunes that can be used to create ringtones from any song?
    Thank you for any and all help.

    No there is not a time limit that I know of. The bell has disappeared on mine too. Have you clicked Store>create ringtone?
    There are many, many posts about other ways to make ringtones:

  • Quick Question about fade effect

    Quick Question:
    If I wanted to add a Fade Effect from one state to another
    when a button is pressed.
    How would I do that within the code?

    quote:

    You can do something like on the click of the button:
    var fader:Fade = new Fade(targetUIComponent);
    fader.duration = 1000;
    fader...;
    fader.play();
    or listen for currentStateChanging event and write the same
    similar code.
    or define transitions from one state to another like:
    <mx:Transition id="toOneOnly" fromState="*"
    toState="OneOnly">
    <mx:Sequence id="t1" targets="{[p2]}">
    <mx:Iris showTarget="false" duration="350"/>
    <mx:SetPropertyAction name="visible"/>
    <mx:SetPropertyAction target="{p2}"
    name="includeInLayout"/>
    </mx:Sequence>
    </mx:Transition>
    Hey,
    I would like to use the "transition from one state to
    another", but if you can explain each part for me that would be
    helpful.
    If you can comment on each line of that code that would help
    thanks

  • Quick question about sim transfer

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question and hopefully one of you guys would be able to help me. My friend purchased his 3g iphone today and hes giving me his old iphone. I currently have a blackjack and I wanted to take the sims card from the blackjack and put into the original iphone. Will the iphone work with my sims card? It is an older sims card, says 64k on it. If not, would I have to bring it into at&t and get it activated w/a different sims card? Hopefully all this isnt confusing. Thanks for any help. Cheers!

    You're welcome.
    I guess that also means I would have to upgrade to the 20 dollar data plan without the text messages as well?
    The unlimited data plan for the first generation iPhone still costs $20/mo and includes 200 SMS. The only thing you need to get from an at&t store is a new SIM card. Take the iPhone with you telling them what you plan on doing and they should give you a new SIM card at no cost.
    You will activate this iPhone with iTunes on your computer. If you are an existing subscriber, your calling plan will transfer to the iPhone, and any existing data plan you are using with your current phone will be cancelled. If you are an existing subscriber, your only selection will be the $20/mo unlimited data plan which includes 200 SMS, and you can select 1,500 SMS for an additional $10/mo or have unlimited SMS for an additional $20/mo.

  • Audio problems from burning DVD's from Macbook Pro?

    Hey guys,
    So lately I have been having problems with burning DVD.  I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast Titanium 11 too burn movies to play on my television. After burnign them I notice all of them have audio problems.  It's as if the audio is faint for the dialogue but when background music plays its blaring! I checked my TV and its definitely not my Television because sound plays from both speakers.  I was wondering if any other Macbook users had this problem or users of either of these programs had this problem because it's such a hassle burning movies without really enjoying them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
