Using powerpoint or pages2 to make a looping DVD--what software to use?

I want to make a DVD with a promotional ppt or pages 2 presentation that I can use at a trade show. Any suggestions? All I have to play it on is a TV.
Can GB or some other software that comes with X accomplish this?

Hi, mmassey1.
1. If you use Keynote to create your presentation, you can then export it as a QuickTime movie (.mov). Keynote is part of iWork, which includes Pages.
You can then:• Create a new movie project in iMovie / iMovie HD and import your .mov file(s) to such.
• Perform any edits you want in iMovie.
• Export the iMovie project from iMovie to iDVD to create the DVD, which includes the VIDEO_TS folder and related bits for a proper DVD.I'd recommend using Keynote 3, part of iWork '06, for this.
2. PowerPoint (PPT) permits you to save slides as individual image files. You could then add the slides into iPhoto, then either:• Create an iPhoto slideshow from those images, and then send the slideshow to iDVD
• Create the slideshow directly in iDVD from the images you added to your iPhoto library.Good luck!

How to make for loop pass only once in a next() method

Good Day!
Can anyone help me or suggest any idea to resolve my problem with the below code, wherein it will only pass the for loop only once. I already tried inserting the for loop in side the if (sqlset4.isFirst()) condition but the problem is it only retrieved the first row of the resultset.
Cheers!
               Statement sOutput = consrc.createStatement();
                        ResultSet sqlset4 = sOutput.executeQuery(xquery);
                        ResultSetMetaData rsMetaData = sqlset4.getMetaData();
                        int numberOfColumns = rsMetaData.getColumnCount();
                        String writefld = "";
                        while (sqlset4.next()) {
                             writefld = "";
                             for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
                                 if (xxformatid.equals("1") || xxformatid.equals("3")) {
                                     writefld = writefld + "sqlset4.getString(" + i + ").trim()" + "|";
                            writefld = writefld.substring(0, writefld.length() - 1) + ")";
                            output.write("\r\n");
                            output.write(writefld);

Hi everyone!
What I actually trying to do is that I have a multiple tables and from these tables I'm going to write each of it into a flatfile that is a pipe delimeted that is why I have to make a loop to know how many fields I am going to write. The code that was attached are actually working, my only concern is that it will take a longer time of processing cause every record of a table it will pass to the for loop(checking how many column) wherein number of column/ were already known on the first loop.
Hi kajbj,
I think what your trying to explain is almost the same with below code which i had already tried. The problem with this is that the every loop of the outer loop data retrieve is only the data of the first record.
               Statement sOutput = consrc.createStatement();
                        ResultSet sqlset4 = sOutput.executeQuery(xquery);
                        ResultSetMetaData rsMetaData = sqlset4.getMetaData();
                        int numberOfColumns = rsMetaData.getColumnCount();
                        String writefld = "";
                        while (sqlset4.next()) {
                             writefld = "";
                             if (sqlset4.isFirst()) {
                                for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
                                    if (xxformatid.equals("1") || xxformatid.equals("3")) {
                                        writefld = writefld + "sqlset4.getString(" + i + ").trim()" + "|";
                            writefld = writefld.substring(0, writefld.length() - 1) ;
                            output.write("\r\n");
                            output.write(writefld);
                        output.close();

Hi Hookso,
You can do it using the different loops like While loop and For Loop. Roderic has already stated how to do it using a for loop. I have illustrated in the attached vi how to do it using a while loop and Elapsed Time function. Take a look.

How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC? What software is needed on the MAC to use them? Thanks.

You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

Do you understand how to make the Slider work using code to read its value? You will need to look into that in order to do this.
What you can do is have the yello rectangle be a movieclip that sits over the red rectangle and use the Slider to control the yellow rectangle's alpha property from 0 to 1. That way the yellow will gradually fade as you slide.
What you will then need to do is figure out how to make the number of dots that appear reduce from 15 to 8 over the same range of the slider. You need to use the fractional value from the slider to decide how many dots either appear or do not appear.
You should not start new postings for the same topics that you arlready have postings for. Doing so in the future might result in them being removed.

What software do I use to make cd/dvd labels?

I enjoyed using iDVD to put together a slideshow for an 80th birthday party. Now I want to share the slideshow on dvd's, but what software should I use to make dvd labels and jewel case covers?

I agree 100% with Klaus1. You don't want to use stick on labels. If you have an Epson R series printer you can print directly to discs with it.
For printing on discs or making case inserts/covers one application that I like is Discus. Here are some of the designs I've created and used with it:

Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted? Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
All of these options do not seem too great to me.
I am open to any ideas.
Thanks,
Rob

Can I use iDVD to make a HD DVD?

<<I read that "Mac Superdrives with HD burning ability do not exist. All your
HD editing ends up squished down to standard DV specs using iDVD.">>
So...when I use an HD camcorder, shoot in HD, edit the HD clips in 16:9 format,
using iMovie HD (for FCP, for that matter) if I output them to iDVD or DVD Pro,
they are then re-compressed in some sort of SD format, is that correct?
Hal

You are correct a standard DVD burned via a Mac Superdrive cannot contain HD content.
This is simply because it is not an HD DVD, there is not the capacity on the disc to store the data required.
You can of course edit in HD in iMovie and then watch the output on an Apple TV / HD TV in HD.
Until there are HD DVD or Blue-Ray burners in Macs and an iDVD upgrade that can output the same formats you will not be able to make a HD DVD.

Is Encore the tool to make an interactive DVD?

I've never used Encore, but is it the Adobe tool I should use to make an interactive DVD?
I need controls like, pause, loop, start, stop. Those kind of controls.
I particularly need to make my animations have a control that allows the speaker of the presentation to loop the animation indefinitely until he wants to continue with his talk.

No. You asked in what I think is the right place: Director.
