Should I make an HD DVD or an SD DVD? Please help!

I have footage that I shot in HDV quality (1440x1080i). I have edited them and now have 46 moviefiles of between 2 and 2,5 minutes each. The DVD will be used for mass reproduction, so I need to make sure it is playable by all (including older) DVD players.
Does this mean that I cannot make an HD DVD from it and that I should stick to a SD DVD? Is an HD DVD playable on any player? Or does the high resolution give trouble? Please help!

HD-DVD is a now defunct format, it has been replaced by Blu-ray, which DVDSP cannot author to. So if you're sticking with DVDSP, and you want it universally playable, you'll need to stick with an SD DVD.
On another note, this may be of assistance:

Please help.

That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

DVD Audio and Subtitle script Please HELP

Subtitle Audio Scripts Please Help
Posted: Sep 3, 2006 8:04 PM
I need to write a script that does the following:
1st I have the end user choose if they want subtitles on or off and then both the buttons will default for the user to chose a language choice. So I need a script that will play just audio streams and a script that will play audio with the same language subtitle. Also if the user just pushes the language button I need the script it to default to play just that language...
Here is what I have scripted already please tell me where my mistake is:
Button Command
Subtitles
On mov GPRM 0,0
Jump Special Features: English
Off mov GPRM 0,1
Jump Special Features: English
English 1. mov GPRM 0,2
2. Set System stream Au(Audio Stream 1) if (0=0)
3. Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1)(ON) if (0=0)
4. Goto 11 if (GPRM 0=0)
5. Set System stream Au(Audio Stream 1) if (0=1)
6. Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1)(Off) if (0=1)
7. Goto 11 if (GPRM 0=1)
8. Set System stream Au(Audio Stream 1) if (0=2)
9. Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1)(Off) if (0=2)
10. Goto 11 if (GPRM 0=2)
11. Jump JOFDVD:Start
12. Exit
All my language scripts will be similar just with different audio and sub streams.
Help Please-
Ryan-

Hi There
I think your error is in the first line of your script.
You're using GPRM 0 to set your subtitle condition and when you press enter on your english button your first line says
1. mov GPRM0,2
I'm assuming you want to use this first comand to set your languange condition so you should use GPRM 1 (or more) - at this stage all you're doing is removing the subtitle condition set by your earlier script.
Good luck
Cheers

NO disk in drive problem if disk cd/dvd rom drive is empty.PLEASE HELP ME part2

Hi All,
To make it easier to see here it is again. Im realllllyyyy desprate, I have my boss breathing down my neck!!!
I'm working on this problem which doesnt seem to be around anymore. I;ve checked the forums but no recent post has been submited ami out of date. Please help me
The problem is that I need to check that hte user has inserted the CD which is needed to run with the application. So i check the labels of all the drives but if a CD rom or any drive is empty I get the "No Disk in Drive. Please insert disk". If i click cancel it works. How do i get it to go away?????????????.
I even disable the system security which is what was suggested in the past but it still doesnt work.
Here is the code
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
// Disable the Security Manager
System.setSecurityManager(null);
FileSystemView fsv = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();
fil =File.listRoots();
for (i=0;i<fil.length;i++){
if(found==true)
break;
if((fsv.isFloppyDrive(fil))==false){
if(fil[i].canRead() && !fil[i].canWrite()){
list= fil[i].list();
if(list!=null){
for( j=0;j<list.length;j++){
if(list[j].equals("SDBSL_CD")){
str= fil[i]+"SDBSL_CD/";
found=true;
break;
System.setSecurityManager(sm);
Any help would be muchmuch appertiated
Ive noticed that when i do:
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
System.out.println("sm"+sm); it returns null
help!

If it is soooo urgent, then perhaps you could help your own cause by making it easier for the rest of us to read your code... Hint [code] tags are there for a reason.

Can't figure out how to make my OSX Server / AD (magic triangle) work- Please help

Hi there,
I have set up a machine with Mac OS X 10.9.1 and Server.app 3.0.2. I think installation and configuration was made ok (I do have experience with Macs and I am part-time admin for the Active Directory in my organisation). I set up a magic triangle by binding my Mac server to an Active Directory domain. Now, I am not a specialist for this so I bought and used "OS X Mountain Lion Server For Dummies" by John Rizzo, which helped me. I did set up everything, even including AD users to OD groups on the Mac server.
Now, I'm biding a Mac client to my OD server, and trying to log in. Can't do that. Any username I type that is not a local client name does not work. I have tried to use 'username' as a login and also 'DOMAINNAME\username', none of which work. I also tried to create a local network user on my OD server, and even with that username I can't log in on the client.
I did check System preferences / Users and groups :
- There is a green light next to my OD server name
- I checked the "allow network users to log in" and checked that "All users" are ok for login.
Two things that don't seem normal but I can't understand :
- Kerberos seems off on the server (klist in terminal returns nothing and Ticket Viewer.app shows no ticket)
- If I try to specify network users that CAN log in (i.e. not "everyone") I see users in the editor window but can't add them to the list
I'm kinda lost here. Anyone wishing to help?

No reason to be angry as it's in his book on page 112. You possibly did not understand its significance until you'd done it yourself?
In an AD-OD integrated environment (I prefer this to 'Magic Triangle' as there is no triangle as such) there are no users in OD. They're all in AD. You nest AD Users or Groups (best to use groups) into an OD Group and apply managed preferences that way. You could bypass group nesting if you wish and simply create OD Computer Groups instead. Manage the workstations directly. All users admin or not, local or otherwise would have have those preferences applied.
"Are preferences correctly inherited between AD and OD groups and users?"
In my experience they are.
"What if I want users in some AD Groups to be controlled users on the client and users in other AD groups to be admins on the client?"
You can do the first part of the question using the provided Server Tools, PM or WGM. To make users local admins you use a terminal command. You don't want to be doing this for student accounts. To make AD groups administrators access Directory Utility's Advanced Options section in the AD plug-in. Clicking on the Administrative tab should give you the option you may be looking for? Alternatively you could use the command line (man dsconfigad) as there are more settings available using it than there are in the GUI.

Need the code to make these to new objects in BW world, please help...

I have two fields that I get from the source (to DSO):
CREATE_DATE (YYYYMMDD)
REPORT_MONTH (YYYYMM)
First I want to make a infoobjects (called CREATE_MONTH) that takes the YYYYMM from the CREATE_DATE.
The I also want to make an indicator (called MONTH_IND) that have a test on infoobjects called CREATE_MONTH and REPORT_MONTH.
The logic should be something like this:
If CREATE_MONTH is 3 month earlier than REPORT_MONTH the indicator should say over 2 month
If CREATE_MONTH is 4 month earlier than REPORT_MONTH the indicator should say over 3 month
Etc.
Conclution:
Need two new objects:
1. CREATE_MONTH
2. MONTH_IND
Can someone give me some help on how to do this Please?

Hi Elaine!
First of all I´d like to thank your answer.
I know what you mean; I had a gif animated file in my web site and I converted it in a swf file, that is the reason why I couldn´t do the correct to make the link. I thought that I could make the link with a simple code but thanks to this foro, now I know that it is a bit more complicated.
Anyway, I think that it is better if I read the tutorial to know how this work.
Thank you again and have a nice day!

New samsung external dvd burner taking forever to rip a dvd on macbook pro. Please help.

Hello...the superdrive in my macbook pro died recently so I purchased an inexpensive Samsung SE-208DB/TSBS external dvd burner (with USB). It has been burning so far now about 14 hours and still on 55%encoding. I have 45 GB available on system and no other programs running at the same time. Not sure if it's something with the burner itself or with my mac. help please and thank you.

No, just a single USB, which, after reading some online comments elsewhere makes me wonder if it was a power-type problem with my mac. I think I'll have to return the drive..
thank you for the help...

CD/DVD ROM I/O error - Please help

Dear all,
I have just fitted in a new TEAC DW-224E on my TECRA S1 since the old one got damaged (it was detected but its mechanics did not work at all after an accedent at a airport). The new one is detected by the OS (Win XP) and the mechanics works but the LED blinks (orange) constantly and no media can be read. When I try to open it in Explorer the OS issues the message "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.". Have you got any ideas how I can fix that or whether I should go and buy a new one. It's very frustrating not to have a CD/DVD ROM that works...
Thanks

Dear Pedro,
Thank you for pointing out the MS Windows issue that refers to the same symptoms my laptop has with the new CD ROM drive. I did replace my CD/DVD ROM drive with the same model. However, a close examination of the parts shows a little difference in Drive Rev kode. The original is A02 while he replacing is A01. Otherwise, they are the same model.
Thanks

I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help

I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
What's the deal?

What is "Adding to library"?
Huh?
This is how you get songs into iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Inset the DVD.
Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only.

Should I send my MacBook in for discoloration yet? Please help!

Ok so here's my problem, my MacBook which I have owned happily for over 2 months has just recently over the last week or so began to turn pink around the edges. I called Apple and they were pretty helpful and sent me out a shipping box the next day. However after reading some forums I've heard that the replacement plastic used in the repairs has the same discoloration issues. How do I know if I'm going to get the improved plastic or not? Also in the meantime can I try using some non-acetone nail polish remover? Will it work?
Thanks in advance, Aaron
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.0 GHz, 1gb RAM, 80gb HD, White

Send it in, there's been all sorts of solutions bantered about to fix this, but none have worked and they won't because of the issue.
