What are the best settings for a slideshow on DVD

So I'm looking at this helpful article -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3781 -- and wondering: if I want to make a slideshow to burn on a DVD to show on a large-screen HDTV, what would be the right settings for Photo Preview and Photo Quality? Thanks!

Mark, yes a DVD will play back on a HDTV, just the quality will not match the capability of the playback device. This is certainly the easiest approach though.
As the article you referenced says, ensuring that your previews are set to a larger pixel dimension than your required output will ensure maximum quality, given that you will more than likely have movement on the images in the slide show I would suggest going with pixel dimensions that are at least 1920px.
Let us know how you go.

What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?

I have researched and found out that the AAC format rules over the MP3 format as fas as sound quality goes with lossy formats. Example: AAC at 128 is better than MP3 at 160 as so forth. My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format? Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format? Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format? Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format? Please help!

It is a matter of opinion, but I suggest 256 kb/s, CBR, and leave all other settings on automatic.
Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format?
Yes. Just put them in a playlist and burn.
Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format?
Yes. You will see it as an option in the Import Settings.
Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format?
EAC does a better job of correcting errors in damaged CDs, but for normal CDs iTunes does a fine job of ripping to AAC.

thats way too vague of a question... best what? quality? size? playback?
best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

What are the best settings for a retina display image?

If we Export for Web then view it on a retina display monitor, the image lines look blurry and it's not as crisp as non-retina display monitors.
What are the best settings when intended for retina display monitors while keeping the file size down?
Thanks!

What are the best settings to make an SD dvd from HD content?

I have HD material that i need to burn on a SD DVD with no real intention on playing in on an HD player, maybe an upconverting one. What are the best settings and preferences so it looks best when played on a CRT or HD TV?

Take a look here

There is no one haard and fast rule on the video rate, but you can start with the standard 16:9 presets and go from there (adjusting fram controls and rates as needed)

4K footage to DVD: what are the best settings for exporting in Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2?

Hello everyone!
I am editing a big bunch of short 4K clips (XAVC in MP4) which will then go onto DVDs. The idea is to get as many of those clips on a DVD as possible. Using Premiere Pro 7.2.2 on Windows 8.
What I would like to know is whether I'm actually using the best possible settings for this case, because the video exported to MPEG2-DVD doesn't look that good. Or maybe it needs to be exported to a different format and rather converted to DVD format after?
The sequence setting are the following:
RED Cinema
Frame rate: 29,97 fps
3840x2160 (16:9)
Square pixels
The export settings I've been using:
MPEG2-DVD
Aspect ratio: 16:9
TV Format: PAL
Field order: progressive
Frame rate: 25
Video quality: 100
Bitrate: VBR
1, I've tried different bitrates, also setting minimum at 9, but this blows up the file size too much (as i mentioned, the idea is to get at many clips as possible on a DVD)
GOP: M - 3, N - 15 (haven't touched those)
Multiplexer: none (should i put DVD?)
I'm using maximum render quality
Have I given all the information?
Any help will be appreciated!@

As Ann has advised do not expect too much, you are going down a lot in quality.
Why are you also going from NTSC to a PAL output?
Premiere will drop frames to get from 29.97 to 25.
PAL DVD players read NTSC discs fine as long as they are region 0
Why are you trying to produce a DVD anyway?
A Bluray would be far better quality.
Also a minimum 9 is way wrong, c9.6 is the max in the spec and hence avoided as your system is trying to push the spec limits to close.
I used to use 6 - 7.5 - 8.8 in my VBR and they looked fine, now I am all HD.

What are the Best settings for GEforce GTX680 & Premiere Pro CC

I have purchased the Geforce GTX 680 mac edition and installed in my Mac Pro 2012. However, there are some settings in Premiere Pro that are a little perplexing to me. To maximize the effectiveness of video card and get the best render times I want to make sure my settings are correct.
I read that under Sequence Settings it is best to check off Maximum Render Quality and then under Preferences > Memory I should check off Memory instead of Performance. Am I correct in doing this?

I own a Mid 2012 Mac Pro which had a ATI Radeon HD 5870 and replaced it with a GeForce GTX 680 bought from Amazon in the UK.
Card Installation - first issue I had was getting the old ATI card out, after undid the obvious screws it just wouldn't come out, so I read the Mac manual reminding me to press the button on the grey plastic card holder which moves a metal bar out the way, then it came out easily! Once card was installed I switched on the power and the Mac stayed on the grey Apple logo screen for 20 minutes. Called Nvidia in Germany and got a guy who only knew Windows who told me to reinstall the old card, delete the ATI drivers and try again, such a Windows tech support response! I knew this was not how Apple work, so I searched the forums and it turned out I need to fully turn the power off at the wall for both the Mac Pro and my 27" Apple Cinema Display as they seem to retain some settings from the previous setup. Once I did that, the Mac booted up correctly :-)
CUDA Drivers: It is very odd there is no mention of having to install the CUDA drivers in any of the documentation you get from Nvidia, but thanks to this forum thread I knew to go to the CUDA drivers page at http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/mac-driver-archive-uk.html
and downloaded the CUDA driver, it installed and when I ran my old premiere projects with an embed After Effects clip in them, unlike before wiht the ATI the timeline rendered them in real time, so that is a major improvement.
Dilema: only question left is whether to be using the CUDA settings or OpenCL option in the Premiere Pro CC > Projects Settings tab?

What are the best settings for inporting and exporting PE 12?   I use a Canon HDV VIXIA HV40 - HDV 1080i . Viewing the videos on this Canon are in HD quality but no HD quality wiyh Adobe PE12.[I have WINDOWS 8.1]

I have tried all the different settings, but my videos do not have HD quality, why?
P.S. - Videos turn out better (but not HD quality) with PE 12 when I do not use RENDER .
When I watch the video on my camera they have HD quality.
My system -
Windows 8.1
Processor -       Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-477OK CPU @ 3.50 GHz 3.50 GHz
Ram -               800GB
System type -   64-bit operating system,x64 - based processor.

To capture HDV video, you should connect the camcorder to your computer via FireWire cable and then use Premiere Elements' Add Media/From Flip or Cameras to get the video from the camcorder to your computer.
If you've done this, the video should load into the program at full hi-def quality and your should have a smooth editing experience.
Is this the process you used to capture and load your video?

What are the best settings for Adobe Media Ecoder?

Hello, I have this animation done in AE and woild like to export it as GIF but when using Encoder I get an animated GIF file that is just way to heavy. I've tried a few different settings but actually just made it worst.
I also tried opening the video in Photoshop but when large files it gives me an error and can't continue to save the GIF.
I would appreciate any help, thanks!

There are many threads in this forum on crating GIFs with After Effects. A few forum searches (or Google searches) should turn up some useful tutorials.
It's not recommended to use AE to create a GIF. The normal process is to render a video out of AE and import it into Photoshop to create the GIF. Again, there are tons of tutorials and forum threads about this. Find them if you're still having problems.
If you need help figuring out your issue, sharing the error message you are getting in Photoshop would be helpful. (Also other information such as exact version number of AE and PS [including the decimal points], your computer specs, file formats, codecs, etc. would be useful.)

What are the best settings for Quicktime movies on the web?

I've created a movie and exported it from IMovie. One version is 7.3 megs, and loads fairly quickly when I have it on a web page. I used broadband medium settings from IMovie to create it. I also created a file that is 19.3 megs using broadband high settings from IMovie. That file is way too big to load in a reasonable amount of time. Thing is, I can't stretch the 7.3 meg version (or don't know how) to make it any bigger. Is there a way I can make it bigger in the web page? Maybe that's a Dreamweaver question. Thanks.

You would need to add a few lines of code to your Web page and that depends on which html "style" you've used.
For the "object/embed" style code you would change your dimensions from those found in the source file to those you want to use in your page. Then add scale="tofit" in the embed tag code and param name="scale" value="tofit" in the object tag.
Don't forget to add 16 pixels to the height to show the movie controller (if used).

What are the best settings for iMovie to QT 7 so the majority can view?

My current iMovie saved out through version 7 is only viewable by those who have upgraded and frankly most people won't take the time and move on. Are there settings that will enable it to play with older versions before 7?
Can I convert it to WMP?
Thanks in advance'

What are the proper settings for export to Windows DVD Creator?

I'm trying to write some DV-Widescreen material to a DVD using Windows DVD maker (hey, it's free.)    So far I've tried "H.264", "MPEG2" and "DVD-Wide" settings, and various permutations.
I either get a single file (.mp4) which Windows DVD Maker won't recognize at all, or I get three separate files: .m2v, .wav, and .xmp.   The only one Windows DVD Maker recognizes is the m2v file, which is video-only (no audio).
Seems like this should be really simple given the awesome power of Media Encoder, but I can't find the right combination of settings.    Can anyone help?

Use "MPEG-2 DVD" and in the settings panel, under the MULTIPLEXER tab, change Multiplexing from "NONE" to "DVD" - this will output a single file that DVD Maker will accept.
Under AUDIO tab, I set audio to Dolby and DVD Maker accepted the result. I don't have any speakers attached to the test computer at the moment, nor did I burn a test DVD, but the fact that DVD Maker readily accepts the file suggests that all will be fine. You might also try MPEG audio, see what works for you, but Multiplexing is the key.
While DVD Maker does accept the AVI file you gave it, keep in mind that you are then rendering TWICE, once to AVI, and then DVD Maker needs to further transcode the AVI to MPEG-2 for the DVD. Makes more sense to render direct to MPEG-2 DVD format and be done with it.
Thanks

What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.
