Remove the .layout and .lay files

When burning a DVD I was told this:
1) Use DVDSP to build AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders to the hard drive.
2) Remove the .layout and .lay files from the VIDEO_TS folder.
3) Burn with Toast at 1X (make sure to delete the .DS Store files in Toast - There is one at the root level of the disc and 1 in the VIDEO_TS folder)
I was just curious,
1. what are the .layout and .lay files
2. How important is it to remove them?
3. What advantage do you gain by removing them?
Thanks.

These two files are used by DVDSP when you burn a disc from there, or build your project to your hard drive as a disc image. They contain the layout information for when the files in your project are written to the disc itself.
They have no business being in a VIDEO_TS folder and anecdotally have shown to cause errors on some players if they are left in place. When you burn from DVDSP they are automatically removed as part of that process.
Removing them manually when burning with Toast, therefore, helps improve compatibility of your DVD-R when you attempt to play it on a set top player.

  • How do I remove the "distributed" and "response" file from my form?

    I created a form for my clients to fill out.  I want to be able to post the form on my website so the client can download the form, edit it, save it, print it if they like, and email it to me manually.  I do NOT want the form to have a submit button, nor do I wish to have the responses tracked.
    Currently I have a form that is set up like that.  How can I remove the criteria in the form that is responsible for emailing me as well as tracking the response file?  I want to the form to just be void of any link to my email as well as any response file on my end. 
    Would greatly appreciate if anyone can help...
    Thank you,
    Vincent

    For some odd reason, Acrobat Standard does not allow you to edit document-level JavaScripts, so you have to use an alternative approach.
    The first thing to do is find the hidden button and make it visible. To do this, select the Select Object tool, which is a black arrow pointing to the upper-left. When the tool is active, you should see the previously hidden button on the first page:
    Double-click the button and go to the General tab and set the Form Field dropdown in the Common Properties area to Visible. Then go to the Actions tab and delete the "Run a JavaScript' action for the Mouse Up trigger. Then add a new JavaScript action for the Mouse Up trigger and enter the following two lines of code in the editor:
    getAnnot(0, "adhocFormState").destroy();
    addScript("FormsWorkflowScript", "//");
    Then close the dialog, select the Hand tool, and click the button. This will effectively get rid of the document-level JavaScript and the hidden text annotation. You can now delete the button by selecting it with the Select Object tool again, and hit the Delete key, or right-click > Delete
    That should do it.

  • I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin

    disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lost

    Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
    It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
    I'm back to normal again.

  • I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

  • Is there a way for me to remove the video and just have the audio?

    I needed to record a conversation and I wasn't really thinking at the time and just used iMovie to record. I only need the audio. Is there a way to remove the video and have it made into just an audio file?

    Create a project using your conversation. Then Share it using Share/Export Using QuickTIme. Select an audio only format like AIFF, AAC, or MP3.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

    Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
    If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.

    If you are on a self hosted site or worse yet using some file storage service like Dropbox - then you are going to have issues. 
    Again - this leter from Apple does not mean anything is wrong wth your show specifically - it is a generic letter going out to all podcasters.

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • Removing the header and footer in Pages

    I just began to use Pages after purchasing a new ibook. In AppleWorks, headers and footers were never inserted by default. In Pages, how can I remove the header and footer in Pages so I can have more space for the body section of the document?

    I had already set page margins to zero, and I disagree with you: Headers and footers still appear with a height of approximately 1/8 inch.
    SInce I posted my previous message, I have experimented a bit. I was able to (almost but not quite) totally eliminate the header and footer by clicking into the header and footer area and reducing the font size to the absolute minimum. After having done that, the body was basically in-line with 0" on the vertical page ruler.
    Also, in my opinion, whether or not most printers do a full page bleed is irrelevant. I should be able to work with the page body without its being offset from the page ruler if I don't want to employ a header or footer.

  • How to remove the Options and Task from the toolbar

    In the FLM portal initially we can see 'Options' in the menu bar after we log in. Below it there is 'Tasks' and 'Reports'. on clicking 'Tasks' and new menu bar 'Tasks' can be seen, under which 'New Tasks' option is there. When we click on 'New Forms' it shows the list of forms and when we select the desired form it opens the interactive form.
    My problem is when this form is opened on the header the 'Options' and 'Tasks' bar can be seen, under which the adobe menu bar comes (Print, Save, Zoom etc.) . This 'Options' and 'Tasks'  how to remove from the interactive forms page.

  • Need to remove the header and footer regions on one page

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to remove the header and footer regions on one page only. The regions I'm referring to contain the following:
    Header:
    Company logo, Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
    Footer:
    Copyright info, Privacy Statement, Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
    These are the standard Oracle header and footer regions/page items, so I am not specifying a particular page name, although it would be the create time cards page we want to modify.
    Also, we only want to remove these regions/items from ONE page, not an entire responsibility.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Suzanne

    Hi,
    In order to hide,
    Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
    Use this code in the processrequest of the controller on the page on which you want tohide these
    OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
    page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
    page.setGlobalButtons((oracle.cabo.ui.UINode)null);
    And for hiding the Copyright info, Privacy Statement:
    Click on Personalise page link
    then Click on Choose Context
    Choose "OAFooter" as Scope
    and click "Apply"
    and then Personalise the Copyright and Privay Statememnt icon and set rendered as False.
    Thanks,
