Suitable Prog For Printing VHS and DVD Case Covers

I'm trying to do with Tiger in my MacPro what i'm used to doing in OS9.2.2 and OSX.3.9 which is produce DVD and VHS case covers with printed material usually frame grabbed from relevant films in FCP then titled up to finish off the product. The covers then relate to the film content.
The prog I used has long ago been left behind somewhere with no hope of my finding it so I've been accustomed to taking a past finished one then altering it in Quark Express (from where I think it originated) and my question is, does anyone know of such a programme to be used in OS10.4.8 on my MacPro. At the moment I'm labouriously copying appropriate stuff from any film into 0S9.2.2 order to use the prog I still have there.....
Thanks for any input.

Hi Ron!
There are a lot of possibilities, depending on how complex you want them to be, and how many $$ you are prepared to spend.
Adobe Illustrator does a great job, but so does Word: make a three column document, adjust them to fit the front, back and spine of the DVD case, and away you go!
Virtually any graphics program has templates for doing this.

Software for mac to print CD and DVD cases and inserts

I have a powermac/tiger OS X and want to print up CD and DVD sleeves/covers and inserts but i have looked on the web for software that would enable me to do this with my mac and operating system but can not find anything.Does anyone know of any software i could purchase to enable me to do this with my mac ?
thanks
rich

There are several applications that will do that. A couple that are specific are Discus, from Magic Mouse software, and DiscLabel from SmileOnMyMac. A version fo Discus comes with Toast, from Roxio, which is an application that offers advanced disk burning options. I got DiscLabel after getting a LightScribe drive, since it supports that. Both of these will label disks, as well as making covers and inserts.
Actually, any good paint application will print up the covers and inserts, but these applications will size them automatically. With less specific applications, you will need to do your own layout.

Is quality better with software for converting VHS to DVD than using an actual converter?

Is quality better with software for converting VHS to DVD than using an actual converter?

Not sure what you mean by "actual converter".
If you mean if you just played a VHS tape to a DVD recorder and recorded like that... You will get close to the quality of the VHS.
If you have a good capture software and hardware you might be able to clean the video and audio up. But VHS is pretty limited in quality.

Request Assistance - Converting VHS and DVDs for Apple TV

I have an Apple TV and love it. My mission is to take my old VCRs and DVDs, convert them and place them in my Apple TV Library. I have run into a snag however when the movies is multiple tapes or DVDs. Up to now I have been simply posting them as Part 1, Part 2, etc but that is clumsy and makes my menu in Apple TV very large.
Is there a method for splicing these tapes and DVDs into one large movie? I have tried using iMovie 08 (I will have 09 in early February), but it keeps crashing as the films are too long (3+ hours).
Has anyone else attempted to do what I want to do and have you been successful? If so what software did you use?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have probably 200 home movies and 50 hollywood movies in my TV, and it definitely helps to have some organization.
I have found that I can go to the Movies section in iTunes, from the source pane on the left. You will see a list of all your movies. Pick one of the three you would like to organize together. Right-click (or control-click) and select "Get Info". Now go to the "Video" section and type in the name you want to organize this 3-part movie into in the field called "Show Name". You can also type an episode number if you want. Under "Sorting" you can also put the Show name in. Click "OK". Repeat this for your other 2 portions, and they will all show up under the "Show Name" on the TV.
For example, I have 14 videos from a recent trip to Turkey and Greece all under one show, and I have Godfather 1,2,3 all under Godfather.

Best practices for printing on a DVD?

I have Taiyo Yuden printable white (inkjet) DVDs and an Epson R280 - getting ready to try printing on the DVDs and was wondering any best practices?
- Print on the DVD before burning or after?
- Should I use the Epson software or is there an outside program that is better?
- Any other tips?
Thanks!

Hi Deborah -
Welcome! As Eric says above, never put labels on your DVDs. In many cases, the adhesive can eventually cause problems and irrevocably damage the disc.
So, going with "labeling" as in putting information on the disc about what it contains, these days, a regular consumer can actually just use an inkjet printer that offers the ability (usually a special tray). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R280 (and there are other Epson models), there are several HPs and a few Canons. My printer was actually free with a digital camera from Circuit City but would have retailed for $149 at the time, so they aren't really all that expensive. Just search for printers with that function and you'll find all your choices.
Then you want to buy inkjet-printable DVDs or CDs and you're off (and there are a bunch of options there - I found it easier to order online to get a good quality, long-lasting DVD that is inkjet printable - the supplies at the local office stores were not good)! Usually your printer comes with software to do the design/print but then Old Toad has a great recommendation above.
I'm printing with a new "watershield" DVD from Taiyo Yuden (which is known for it's quality and are long-lasting, up to 75 years, not that we'll be on DVD players then!) which makes an inkjet print "unsmudgeable." There are a few other brands like that or some people use a spray on them because the downside to inkjet is that it can smudge if you touch with moist fingers or if anything wet touches it. Water shield DVDs are magical, I've found - makes a glossy print (even though inkjet) and locks in the design so it's smudgeproof. Still they are more expensive than others. I'd probably search around the forum here or other forums on DVDs and CDs if you want to look into them more.
Good luck!

p.s. I was told that if you absolutely can't print on them, then to use a thin Sharpie with minimal writing on the DVD. I think some stores sell "DVD safe" pens but I've never been convinced that they are anything but a sharpie at a premium price - maybe someone else on here will know.

Has anyone gotten an official fix from EPSON for printing on CD/DVD's?

To re-iterate the problem, I am unable to normally print CD/DVD's with my EPSON R220 printer after installing Leopard.
I get the following message:
"The EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed"
After hitting OK, you get brought to (what I call) the EPSON CD Print window which lets you edit Color Correction and Print Position but the "Print" button is grayed out.
I can use the workaround I found in these discussions (thank you by the way) by hitting "Manual Print" from this window and select A4 for paper size and I'm able to print using the CD tray as normal.
But has anyone heard back from EPSON with an official fix?
Thank you.

I spoke to EPSON support via the phone today.
They said that the "Manual Print" option button is available due to the Easy Print software they released early November. This is their workaround and they said they are working on a real solution but it's just not available yet.

Analog to iMac for movie editing and DVD burning

What is best combination of hardware/software that I should use to convert my Sony camcorder analogy video to my iMac that I can save, edit with iMovie and later create DVDs?

Even though your comment is a "Reply" to the OP, you quote my previous comment, so in response:
You do NOT need any program to convert it back to an editable format, if, like I, you edit in MPEG-2 (in my case I edit with MPEG Streamclip).
I already noted that the Apple MPEG-2 Component is required.
Handbrake and Toast are not editing programs. Handbrake will transcode (to, for example, the H.264 format that I use for AppleTV playback) and Toast will burn to DVDs (and Toast can transcode, but is my last choice of a transcoding option).
When you say: "so much [is] lost in the .mpeg conversion" please elaborate. Are you suggesting that MPEG-2 conversion from 1980s and 1990's analog camcorder formats will show less visual quality?
That has not been my experience. I am quite pleased with my conversion and editing method.
Perhaps your analog tapes suffer from "noise" and other analog artifacts that cause problems in the digital conversion.

Printer for printing directly onto dvd's

Can anyone provide recommendations on a printer that will print directly onto dvd's and is compatible with the macbook pro? Best Buy recommended a cannon for $100 and he said it is wireless and compatible. Thoughts?

To be a little clearer, your printer may accept the disk for printing, but the page size will still be a paper size, rather than something that says "DVD" or "CD". The documentation for your printer should tell you what the settings should be, and how to adjust the placement of the image so it is centered on the disk.

Solution for printing black and white in acrobat

Hi,
Here was the problem :
I was trying to convert my colored pdf file to black and white but nothing was working. Others were having the same problem too (such as http://adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5454d ) and the topic was already archived so I could not post the reply.
I tried also to print as black (as it can be found at the bottom of the print button in the acrobat 8 ) but it just made my whole document black.
So, the solution
TO convert your color pdf to black and white and save it as black and white pdf do the following (I am using acrobat 8 )
1. GO to file > Print
2. Choose pdf from the printer
3. At the very bottom there is a button called "advanced" in the middle of "printing tips" and "summarize comments". Click the advanced button
4. In the advanced option, under output - there is an option called color and the next to it is written "composite"
Change it to "composite gray"
5. press ok and it brings you back to the main printing window
6. Now if you press ok it prints your file to black and white.
Hope this will help some people.

My biggest challenge is printing pdfs of schematic diagrams where color is used to signify "layers" in a drawing. Hardest one to read is "yellow" on white for lines or text.
I found a solution, however it may apply to my specific printer only (Sharp MX-2300N).
From the print dialog, select "Properties" next to the printer name.
From the priter properties popup, select the "Main" tab, and check "Black and White print".
From the "Color" tab, make these selections:
Color Mode: Select "black and white"
Color Adjustment: Check "Text to Black"
Color Adjustment: Check "Vector to Black"
Other printers may have similar configuration options.

Every time I open Itunes or plug in my Ipod or Ipad I get an error message that the registery settings for burning cds and dvds are missing and to reinstall Itunes. i've done this several times but the message won't go away.

Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message. It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes. I've done this several times and I'm not having any trouble importing cds at all and I can't make the message go away. It always comes up before Itunes will open.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

He says, a neutral grey is Set, When all 4 Values of c,m,y and k are the Same?
Seriously?
Embarassing Mistake in this Video. Has anybody from Adobe watched and cleared this? How in the World Couleur this Guy become adobe Certified whatever.
For neutral grey you'd use the k value only.
In RGB a neutral grey is Set with Same amount of r,g and be.
Depending on your profiles and on the colours, a neutral gray in CMYK Would have more Cyan than Magenta and yellow.
Just Take a neutral grey in RGB and let Photoshop change it to CMYK. And have a Look at the Result.
