VHS TO FCP TO QT NOW NEED AVI HIGH QUALITY

We have a two minute segment given to use in vhs format (poor quality) to begin with. I imported into FCP 4 and exported high qual quicktime and it plays & looks okay on both mac and pc. However, we need to insert video into powerpoint on pc. I'm having a hard time getting anything that is not pixelated and grainy. I've tried the codecs known to work on pc, cinepak & sorenson, same pitiful result. Any thoughts and/or suggestions for 3rd party products? Ideally, getting a higher quality source would be preferable but that is not an option.

For maximum compatibility MPEG1 is a good choice. Virtually anything in the world can play it. Later machines will also be able to play MPEG2 which will have better quality, but you may have trouble with sound if there is any. Beware of anything with high bit rates, particularly if it is playing back in a window on a laptop. Some will fall over, others will just freeze the laptop screen if you have an external display (projector) connected.
It will always be a compromise between quality and something that will play back on a system not designed for video (you paid a lot of money for your MAC didn't you.

NTSC video, NTSC Timeline in FCP, my client now needs PAL DVDs....

Can you give me a quick overview of what the best workflow would be to make PAL-compatible DVD's from my NTSC FCP Project?
Much appreciated.

i'll second that ... Graeme's standards conversion filter set provide excellent results that can even rival a high quality hardware conversion
http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
but if thats not an option:
you can simply create a new empty PAL sequence, copy your NTSC edit into it and then let FCP handle the conversion ... won't be a great result though.
or you if you're going to encode in DVDSP then you can let Compressor handle it, with File >Export >Using Compressor... and then choose a PAL DVD preset ... will be better than FCP but not as good as the Nattress plugin
or you can just export as is and then let iDVD/DVDSP handle it by changing the preferneces to PAL
and I'd agree with Capt'M in that most PAL DVD players can handle NTSC discs these days ... might be worth double checking to see if they could in fact use the original NTSC version

What settings do I need for high quality web video?

I've created a video via animoto.com for my website. The video resolution they recommend for web is 432 x 240 @ 15 fps. I used this and it's not as crystal clear as I'd like. Still looks pixelated a bit and I'd like a higher def version. So I downloaded the hi res version (864 x 480 @ 24 fps). This looks great but takes forever to load due to buffering. Then the video stops every few seconds. I understand this res is not meant for web.
What is the resolution I need for best quality & fast loading? I've seen great videos on the web before that loaded very quickly. This is what I'm looking for. I have Quicktime Pro for Mac and can pretty much save in any formats & resolutions. So what's recommended?
Thanks!

Hi
There are some important things.
• Set down burn speed to x1. In iDVD08 You can do this in preferences.
• Use high quality media. I only use Verbatim
• Use right type of DVDs. I only use DVD-R (Single Layer)
• Best quality - I use Pro-encoding Quality.
• IMPORTANT: Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Your internal (start-up) hard disk
• Use a CD/DVD cleaning disk from time to time
• Don't burn more than three DVD at a time then let Your DVD-burner rest in 15 minutes to cool down.
Good Luck
Yours Bengt W

Need an high quality voice recording app that does mp3s.

I need an app for my ipad (can be iphone only app as well) that will, best case scenario, record AIFF allow you to edit and then convert edited file to mp3 and finally allow e-mailing the file. If it only records mp3 and allows editing and subsequent e-mailing, that would be a close second at this point. I have found a ton of apps that record AIFF but don't then support conversion to mp3...anyone have any thoughts?!?!
Thanks in advance.

Record in QuickTime Player, save your recording as a file and drag that into Pages:
Quicktime > Menu > File > New Audio Recording (control option command n)
You start and stop the recording by hitting the spacebar.
Menu > Edit > Trim > drag the ends in
To remove any silence or unwanted sounds.

I need a high quality print of a web page..

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this isn't the appropriate forum for this but I'm betting you all will be the best brain trust to ask!
A website has done a feature article on our company and I would LOVE to print out a copy of this page.
Using the standard browser print options makes the page a total mess.. I've downloaded the "Awesome Screenshot" plug in for chrome and got a decent print of it but it's still not ultra high quality. I'm hoping to be able to print this and frame it... Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me?
Again I apologize for this not being specific to PS (although I do have the entire Adobe suite and may be able to utilize it for this project)... and thank you in advance for any help you may give me.
Thanks!

Sounds like you are half way there. Load that pdf into Photoshop at your required resolution, and rebuild the borders and colours on underlying layers using Photoshop. The text will be bitmap, but if you load it at a really good resolution, it should look OK. Or you can overwrite the text in Photoshop as well. If you load the PDF with Acrobat or similar, you will probably be able to cut and paste the text from the PDF into Photoshop.
I think you said you have the full Creative Suite? I'd 'probably' do it with InDesign, but that's a guess without seeing it.

Need a high quality Bluetooth Headset for my Nokia...

Hi everyone
can any of you recommend a really good Bluetooth Headset for my Nokia N80 ?
want something with crystal clear sound, no distortion and one that fits nice and snuggly without being uncomfortable...
Thanks....

Hi, I use the Nokia HB-900 with my black N80 and they work flawlessly together, PTT is perfect, Voice quality is like nothing you have ever exprienced in a bluetooth headset, the noice canceling in BH-900 and the extended boom truely sets this headset apart from what you have used before and the long battery life is just great. i realy like the look of it and it is the only headset i actualy wear in public without feeling stange, its pretty light and comfortable, i forget i am wearing it and it doesn't swing around or move when i turn my head, it's quality is good and matches the n80 finish ( i have the one with the black extendable boom ) and works perfectly, it also has a blue light on it that matches the blue light on my n80. it's worth every penny. when i use it the people on the other end of the line do not believe that i am using a cellphone as the voice quiality is great due to digital voice processor and the noise cancelation of BH-900, you can't go wrong whit this one.

Finished FCP file too big to burn and quality is needed.. Please helpp me

I've just completed a 40 minute project that i've been working on for months on Final Cut Pro 5.1.4. I exported it as a Quicktime movie and the finished product is 8.8 GIGS. I have both iDVD and Toast, and have tried for the last two days straight to get the file on a DVD with no success. The major factor is that i don't want to compromise the videos quality that much because it is filled with fast moving transitions and color filters. I've tried burning it directly with both Toast and also iDVD, thinking that the compression tools may take care of it and salvage the quality, but both programs were unsuccessful. I've tried making an iDVD file and saving it as a Disk image, then burning with Toast but the quality was extremely jittery and off color. I am out of ideas! I would really just like this 8.8 GB FCP movie file to be on a DVD with some good old quality. If anyone is willing to help I would be more than grateful. Like I said i own iDVD, Toast 10 and FCP (if a different application is what I need then please enlighten me). I'd even be willing to make this a data disk if that's the best way to salvage its quality, but I'm also unknowlegeable about how to compress it and do that (help with that would be appreciated also). I'm sure it is possible to get this to a playable disk, whether it is a DVD or not.. beggars cant be choosers, i just need the best quality possible. Thank you to whoever's brilliant mind is capable of helping me through this pain and frustration.

I am not sure if all of the clips are DV-NTSC. I would guess no, a good portion of the sequence is imported forage from a video camera but it is combined with videos taken by a digital camera and I also included a segment ripped from a DVD by the program Handbrake. (The video is a compilation of clips for friends that I studied abroad with)
Yes, I made sure everything was rendered before I exported it.
The file that I attempted to burn was a Quicktime Movie and I did make it self-contained. I am currently exporting an .avi copy through Quicktime Conversion in an attempt to try something different. Would making it a reference file shrink it enough to fit a DVD?
There may have been another app running while I attempted to burn, but I left the computer after I began the burn so there was no activity by myself during the process. I was running other apps as I exported the file from FCP.
I have been working on this for about a month and it has eaten up a lot of my hard drive, which was running low to begin with. There has been about 20 GB every time I’ve attempted a burn. I believe I have about 16 now which I can free easily. The scratch with the captured footage is on an external passport HD connected by a USB. My passport HD was the only thing connected through USB at the time, my mouse and keyboard are Bluetooth.
Im planning on attempting to burn with this .avi copy that I have just made (which probably wont work now that im thinking about it) and then ill try making a reference movie of the project and attempting a burn. Thank you for all your help Martin its extremely helpful.

Usually Apple sends an invoice to your mail 1-2 days after your purchase.
You may even search the invoice yourself, but I'm not sure if you will find it before 1-2 days.

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

What version of the OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and report the Version back here.

Easy... you install the Find My iPhone app > http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
You can use that app without iCloud and you don't need a new iPhone.

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.

I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

Hi Chris.
It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.
