Say, is there a way to guesstimate how many pix will fit on one DVD?

I'm putting together slide shows for a retirement party and thought there might be a magic number for a standard DVD. Anyone know? Or know where to send me for the info?

With iDVD you will need to create a QT movie file in iPhoto by exporting the slideshow using the Export button at the bottom. Select size = Medium or Large.  Next create an iDVD project and drag the QT file into the iDVD menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
If the playing time of the QT movie and menus is more than 1 hour but less than 120 minutes set iDVD's Porjects preferences to Encoding: Professional Quality.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on windows 7.

    There is no feature for that in Premiere Pro.  I suggest that you keep a project log either in a spreadsheet, database, Notepad or Wordpad file, or a hand written one.
    You can file a feature request here:

    how many songs will fit on a a nano (7th generation) that has  16 GB?

    About 16GB worth of songs. As the size of a song varies based on its length and bitrate, there's no single number.

  • How do I know if it will fit on one DVD?

    So I am working on a DVD project (My first one) and I have about 12 movies that are about 20-25 minutes each in .avi format. The total size for all of these movies is about 3.07 GB.
    How do I know if iDVD will be able to fit all of these movies on one DVD? Does it go by the 60min rule regardless of file size, or will all twelve movies be able to fit on one DVD? a DVD golds 4.7Gb of information right? So it should fit theoretically, but it is almost 3.5 hours of video.
    Is there a fill bar or something within iDVD that can estimate how much space I have left for a DVD based upon the images, menus and movies I add to a project? I dont seem to find one in the iDVD project window and the Help file did not turn anything up.

    The size (MB or GB) of the input files doesn't matter to iDVD. What matters is the length (in time).
    iDVD renders/compresses/multiplexes your video into MPEG2 format which is the format of a playable DVD. With a single-layer DVD you can fit up to 2 hours of content (video, titles, etc.); with a dual-layer DVD you can fit up to 4 hours of material. iDVD will make choices of how to render your video depending on your quality choices in iDVD Preferences.

  • HT1975 How can I reset the gray location services icon that apears next to the app that used my location services in the past 24 hours? Or better yet is there a way to track how many times it's been doing it in the past 24 hours?

    My boyfriend likes to check up on me by using find my iPhone app. Sometimes I feel he goes overboard and would like to know how often he is watching me. The gray icon is always there because he watches me every day, but if there is a way to reset it do that I can check it time after time and see if he watched me again since the last time I checked. Or is there a way or an app that tracks how many times a devise has been tracked? I don't want to change my password because I like knowing that if I get lost in the woods he would find me :)) I just want to know his often he is watching me.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • Is there a way to know how many rows were rejected using external tables?

    Hi,
    I'm developing a package that needs to load different kinds of text files into the DB.
    I was wondering whether there's a way of knowing in SQL or PL/SQL how many rows were rejected if my external table is defined with "reject limit unlimited".
    I'm using the external tables in "insert into ... (select ... from external_table where...)"
    sql%rowcount returns the number of inserted rows
    I was hoping for something similar/easy to get the number of rejected rows as well.
    I know I can try to analyze the bad file for the number of records if there's no other way...
    Thanks in advance.

    I was afraid of this answer...
    this is a certain "no there's no other way" or should i wait for other responses (no disrespect - just want to make sure :) )Well the difference would be that this external table will have no complex logic. You would simple read in all the lines from the bad file. The chances that this is broken are therefore very slim compared with your original external table.
    And tehre are many other ways possible. For example you can first copy the file into a real internal (temp) table without using any processing logic but with using an external table. Then do the processing / logic checking of the data and move the data from this temp table into your final data structure. Since you move the data two times the whole process will be slower then the original version.

  • Is there a way to know how many tabs are open in the current window?

    I have a habit of keeping lots and lots of tabs open in my Firefox window. Sometimes, I'd like to know how many are open so that I can go through and close some of them if the number is excessive...(or at least excessive by my standards).
    How do I get a quick count of the number of open tabs? Surely I don't have to count them myself, do I?

    Hmm I have an solution for this..
    You can use Tab Counter add-on for this. This add-on shows the number of tab in presently opened window on upper right corner beside minimize.
    you get this from following link:

  • How many photos will fit on 1gb of iphone 4s storrage

    I have the I phone 4s & would like to know how many photos can i fit on with 1 gb of storage left ?
    hope someone can give me an answer

    You may be approaching the problem the wrong way.
    try using drop box (although your work computer may not be able to)  or transfer the photos to another PC and copy onto a USB stick - once again your work PC may not allow you to use USB devices,...
    There is often a reason that your employer will not allow this kind of connection - circumventing this may not be a good idea either and could get you into trouble.

    how many songs in mp3 format 28kbps can you guys fit on your 5gb dri'ves (not just zen micro)?
    ignore length of the song. i want lots of input on this please. it doesnt have to be down to the last song. the number of songs can be an educated guess (+/- 0 songs would be best). Please do not guess and do not link me to some assinine site that says something like 5gb = ,000,000,000 bytes which is 3,000 songs. becuase the statement is always riddled with asteriks and means nothing
    just for the record - this is not an attack on creative labs or any company - im just tired of the huge variance in what should be extremely consistent data considering storage is not something that changes
    anyways, thanks for everyone's input!

    thanks for all your help guys! this forum is great
    i was really nervous about getting a 5gb mp3 player because i have about 5 CDs already and am constantly buying more, i love the size and portability of the smaller 5gb ones but would love to have the storage of 30gb. i use to have the zen xtra 30gb but it was too big to carry in my pocket all day while i was at school so i had to return it (that and the fact that it was defecti've )
    guess ill go for a 5gb
    (more input would be great though)
