Rookie needing help on converting iMovie to iDVD

I am a rookie user of iMovie, so I apologize if this is a silly question. I have created an 18 minutes iMovie and want to now get it into iDVD so I can burn it and watch the DVD in the DVD Player. How do I go about doing this? I did Export Movie, which creates a .m4v file on my desktop. When I open this it opens in iTunes, which is not what I want. I'm sure there is something I'm missing. Can anyone help???

Multiple ways to share to iDVD.... Launch iDVD, create a new project, select a theme, and then drag-n-drop your .M4v file into the iDVD menu screen.

Urgent! Please help! Can iMovie and iDVD do this??

Hi,
I have used Final Cut, and DVD Studio, for a few years, so I know them well. I haven't used iMovie or iDVD.
I have a client on a tight budget, so I was going to suggest buying iLife, but I need to know if iMovie and iDVD can do this:
They want to create a template video timeline, it will have an intro video, with music. What they want to do is add a talking head video after the intro, with the music fading out, then in.
So the intro with full music will play, the talking head will fade-in, the music will fade down,about 20sec later, the music will fade back up and the voice will fade down, the video and music will continue for about 30sec, then all fades out.
This video will then go into iDVD, where there will be a custom screen with 1 button, to play the video... This will then get compressed and burned to DVD.
They want to have an iMovie template and iDVD template, so they can easily and quickly add new talking head clips.. Then burn a DVD.
I know I could set this up in FCP and DVDSP, no problem. But it's a little pricey for their budget.
Please help!
Thanks

Stewart,
"Could I create a custom THEME in iMovie and iDVD for them to use?"
I suppose if you know what you're doing you could. But iMovie and iDVD are not tools to build themes with.
You should play around with both apps. I think you'll quickly find a way to accomplish what you want.

I need help in converting a pdf to a fillable form in my adobe

I need help in converting a pdf to a fillable form in my adobe

"Adobe" is a company. If you mean "Adobe Reader" then you can't (at least not easily). You need Adobe Acrobat for that.

Need help in converting date format

Hi,
Need help in converting date format from 'DD-MON-YYYY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD' in an .rtf template as I believe xml publisher supports the date format as 'YYYY-MM-DD' only.
Thanks,
Raj.

I got the same problem, anyone know how to solve this problem? I allready found some date functions on http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/09/date_functions.html . I also tried <?xdoxslt:month_name(xdoxslt:get_month(xdofx:substr(NEED_BY_DATE, 4,3)), $_XDOLOCALE), 0, 'nl-NL')?>, but then it returns a namespace error (Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'xdofx' used but not declared.). Anyone know how to fix this?

I need help to convert hours,minutes and seconds to seconds.

Hi, I need help with the code on how to convert the hours,minutes and seconds to seconds. I don't know which formula to use so that I can get the results in total number of seconds. Thanks.

Jos ("when in doubt: parenthesize correctly")Bracist.You're more right than you'd known: last week I climbed over a safety
fence (which I wasn't supposed to do of course) to adjust the position
of an optical measurement device we installed in a huge production
machine in a factory. I stepped on some sort of hose; the end of that
hose broke loose and hit me straight in the middle of my lower jaw. My
front teeth feel wiggly now and my molars on the left of my lower jaw are
not what they used to be. This Wednesday I get that all fixed at some
dental clinic. Keep your fingers crossed because me+dentists == war.
My tongue continuously keeps on reporting craters and disaster ;-)
Jos, how's it going? Besides a possible loss of some teeth, I'm fine ;-)
My Spring/Hibernate journey continues. I'm trying out Hibernate 3.2
annotations and the Ant tools. So far, so good.Good to hear. At the moment I'm putting my teeth (sic) in that darn snmp
stuff which simply refuses to work the way I want it and besides that I'm
heavily involved in some of that SAP stuff. Spring is not in the vicinity for
me in the next couple of months sadly enough.
kind regards,
Jos

I need help to convert photos in the .swf format to a format that will open on iOS

I need help converting photos in the .swf format to a format that will work on my Mac. Thanks

SWF is a Flash file that should be able to be opened with your web browser on your Mac. Probably not on iOS though.
You will likely need to find the source file for the application that created the SWF and the image will be in that. You could then export/extract the image and have it as a stand alone file.
It does look like there are applications that can do what you are looking for though: https://www.google.com/search?q=SWF+to+JPG

Hello,
The best way is to use the HEX to decimal coversion VI in the string pallette. Then, write this decimal directly to your chart. If you are doing it a point at a time put it into a while loop.

Need help in converting DAQ to DAQmx

Hi,
I've struggled with coverting traditional DAQ to DAQmx for two weeks. I really need help from someone.
As you can see the picture below, I've tried to replace the old VI's with new ones. But, it doesn't work. Of course, the VI below is just a part of my VI. VI's after case structure are inside of while loop.
Could you please give me thought that why it doesn't work?
FYI: The strange thing about it is that it runs without any error messege, but there is no actual output (values on the graph, data in arrays, etc).
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Assuming that the Traditional DAQ and DAQmx code are screenshots from separate VIs, I believe that the following parameter of the read functions in each driver would account for the different behavior that you are seeing (you have both set to -1):
Traditional DAQ:
DAQmx:
So, when you give DAQmx Read a -1 for "number of samples per channel" when running a Continuous task, the effect is that it will return whatever data is available at the time DAQmx Read is called. In your case this is immediately after the task is started so there very well could be 0 samples available in the buffer. I'd imagine that you would see data if you change the value of this parameter from -1 to the actual number of samples that you want to read.
Having said this, if you want to acquire continuously you should call DAQmx Read from inside a loop. I agree with the others that you should take a look at the DAQmx shipping examples to help get started, you will probably find something very close to what you want to do. You can find the examples at:
Help >> Find Examples... >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx
Thanks for posting, I hope this helps!

Loader (Need help to convert from AS3 to AS2)

Since I know this code works fine and that I use it into one of my AS3 flash, I need it in one of my AS2 flash and I don't know how to adapt it. I've searched in over 100 threads and I can't find something similar... Thanks to help me get it to work in AS2! Since I need it in AS2, I thought it would be the right place to post it.
I posted all the loading process code, but I would need help mostly with the Loader part. How to do it in AS2? Thanks!
var img = 0;
var image_total = 0;
var myImages_array:Array = new Array();
var myBitmaps_array:Array = new Array();
function Init();
// Images urls are loaded into an array before this call
LoadImage();
function LoadImage()
    if (img < myImages_array.length) // img is the current image index and myImages_array is my array of URLs
// I need help with this part please
      var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// returns the image full path and load it
        loader.load(new URLRequest(my_site_url + myImages_array[img]));
        loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
    else
        if (count == 0)
// When everything's loaded, I'll start loading my Bitmaps into a small slideshow
            count += 1;
            init_slideshow();
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void
    var image:Bitmap = e.target.content;
// Bitmap manipulation here (removed)
    image_total = myBitmaps_array.push(image);
    if (img < myImages_array.length)
        img += 1;
// Call next image
        LoadImage();
function init_slideshow():void
// Reserts the current index for the first one
    img = 0;
// Start the slideshow since everything's loaded
    animate_slideshow();

If you look at the Flash help documentation for the addListener metod of the MovieClipLoader class, there is an erxample there that you should hopefully be able to work from. It will be better if you get your stuff coded into AS2 before you pursue more help with it. IT is difficult to tell you how to fix something if you don't show what you are using.

Need help ASAP--reflection black from idvd

we have our film done and we used the "open--reflection black" from imovie as chapter breaks--but, we would like to use reflection black from the idvd 6.0 themes to give it continuity--the documentary is not on my macbook using final cut pro, it is on our editors. . .and he does not have this 6.0 theme on his--is there a way to move it to his computer? can we download it somehow?

Wrong forum my friend. This is neither the iMovie or iDVD forum...best to try them.

Need help with lost iMovie project.

I was creating an iMovie project for school and needed to save it on a USB, so I clicked on 'Export Movie' from the 'Share' options menu in iMovie. I chose the type I wanted it saved in (viewing for computers) and then a smaller screen in iMovie popped up saying it was exporting the movie, or something like that. It took about a good 30 minutes and my project was a 7 minute movie with film clips, music, transitions, ect. I exported this project to my USB but when it finished it wasn't on there and when I finally found it on the Mac somewhere, I went to drag it into my USB but it said it was full. I then dragged the project onto my desktop and tried to open it to see if it worked. When I did the iMovie icon jumped once and stopped. I clicked on iMovie and it was still there in the projects screen. I then decided to close iMovie and open the project again from my desktop to see if it would play like a normal movie but once I clicked it the iMovie icon jumped again, opened but my project that I was trying to open was not there anymore and wouldn't open from my desktop file. I cannot open it at all and view it, it has been lost from my iMovie. Is there a way that I can get it back? Really need some help with this.

What version of iMovie are you using?

Need help for converting c# encryption code to javascript

I have this below code in c# i need to convert it into nodejs i would really appriciate some help in this.

byte[] nonce = passwordDb2.GetBytes(NonceSize);
AesManaged symmetricKey = new AesManaged { Mode = CipherMode.ECB, Padding = PaddingMode.None };

public byte[] Encrypt(byte[] plainText, int blockIndex)
byte[] nonceEncrypted = new byte[NonceSize];
byte[] outputData = new byte[_chunkSize];
_encryptor.TransformBlock(_nonces[blockIndex], 0, NonceSize, nonceEncrypted, 0);

Currently i have the below code from what i understood (I am quite new to nodejs)
var crypto = require("crypto");
var nonce = crypto.pbkdf2Sync(passphrase, "grains", 1000, NonceSize);
_encryptor = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-128-ecb', binkey, "");
_decryptor = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-128-ecb', binkey, "");
Encrypt: function (plainText, blockIndex) {
var nonceEncrypted = [NonceSize];
var outputData = [_chunkSize];
var crypted = Buffer.concat([_encryptor.update(plainText), _encryptor.final()]);
for (var i = 0; i < _chunkSize; i++) {
outputData[i] =(plainText[i] ^ nonceEncrypted[i % NonceSize]);
var x = new Buffer(outputData);
return x;
Decrypt: function (encryptedText, blockIndex) {
var nonceEncrypted = [NonceSize];
var outputData = [_chunkSize];
var decrypt = Buffer.concat([_decryptor.update(encryptedText), _decryptor.final()]);
var index = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < _chunkSize; i++, index++) {
if (index == NonceSize)
index = 0;
outputData[i] = (encryptedText[i] ^ nonceEncrypted[index]);
var x = new Buffer(outputData);
return x;

Maybe, you should post to the Javascript secition of the ASP.NET forum.

Need Help opening converted file in Pages

I have a Mac and use Pages as my word processor. Pages converts Word documents into its format so that they can be opened, read and edited. I have never been unable to open/use a document opened this way . . . till now. The downloaded document won't open in Pages. It says it is an "invalid format." I hope someone can help me. The purchase of the Adobe program is no value to me if I can't use it, and I need to be able to use documents in this way. Thanks in advance.

You can set up a link to behave as you want, ignoring whatever the user preference is set to, but I don't know if you can configure such a link in InDesign.
In Acrobat, you can edit the link action (assuming it's a "Go to a page view / Go to a page in another document" type) and select "New Window" in the "Open in" drop down:
