What DO I need to output HD projects to DVD?

Trying to piece together how I will output HD footage to DVD. Have researched and paged through this forum and as a technophobe can't quite get it..I know FCP7 does have output to basic blu ray...I know toast and encore will get me there, but what do I need to actually burn???
I have DVD studio pro 4.2.1 which came with the Mac tower, if I get toast which is in my price range will that prepare an HD file to burn? Please help with the steps to output and what I need. The films will be shown on a theatre screen and for TV, computer viewing.

It's not that easy.
You provided the target venue but not the output hardware. A Blu-ray player is useless if the projection system can't see the signal. Figure that one out first.
then you'll need to tell us what you think you mean by "HD." what codec, what format, what frame rate.
FCP6 and FCP7 wil handle most HD material but, depending on the source, often at the cost of performance or additional transcoding to get the material into the application. Toast, AKFAIK, comes with a manual that will tell you how to build Blu-ray, if that's what you need to do. The Share from FCP to Blu-ray seems to be workable but flawed. You may want to look more seriously at the Adobe suite of products for the PC if you will be using Blu-ray exclusively and charging admission.
Give us a few days for others to post more substantive and helpful information.

Moveis/tv shows etc that you buy on DVD are encrypted to stop you from doing this. Breaking this encryption is against the law. We cannot help you break the law here.
Sorry.

What do you need to move "file.mov" to DVD

what do you need to move "file.mov" to DVD????

I don't understand your question. Are you saying you want to burn a movie to a DVD? If so, you need software that will do that. iDVD can do that, but it is only available as part of the retail iLife 11 disk. That is still available from different online resellers. Or, there is Roxio toast – an excellent burn software, but not cheap. And it does not offer the options iDVD offers. Or you can Google for burn software for Mac; there are quite a few out there - some are free others will cost money.

Drive 2.1 can not connect to our cs3 versioncue server what do I need to use our projects in CS5?

Mac XServe is our CS3 server. Trying to upgrade to CS5 and found out Version Cue is no longer. Read and found the Drive 2.0. It can't seem to connect to my current server. We still have access with one of our CS3 machines. Is there a program I need to get to continue on with our versioning and the ability to use our projects we have? Or do I need to go into every project and export or something to be able to start using CS5? Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...

How to get XI projects requirements? What and i need to ask for Project ?

Hi Experts
    I know XI for some extend but i don't know any thing about requirements
    Next week i have meeting with client so what and all things i need to ask ?
    Pls...guide me on this
It will be really helpful to me.....
adv thanks and points to all
Regards
Kiran LVS

Hi Kiran
   In addition to the above link are the things you can ask the client to get the requirements
1) What is the problem? This will give answer for why they are going for XI? Here try to
    Understand the business as well as integration? Where XI come into the picture?
2) Total number of systems involved in integration? That is their SLD? Details?
3) Scenarios (interfaces)? Total? What kind of? But here once again this is depends on project
    Some times client will give this (or) based on the requirement you people have to decide?
    It is fully depends ..!!!! take care
4) Then based on the scenario you need to get the full information ....this is
    place where you can ask all the questions from scenario to scenario .get all the details as
    mentioned below
apart from the basics try to ask some thing technically
5) Are they providing any XSD,WSDL, documents, Naming conventions..etc
6) Protocals related like http, ftp, smtp, soap....
7) If file related then CSV, Fixed....like that delimiter specific details .very imp this one
8) If R/3 present then ....it is Idoc, Rfc, BAPI,....any proxies and webservices for
   direct communication ....etc
these are the basic things for XI integration project and after that every thing is specific to
scenarios
Same time check in the SDN with key word XI Requirements
I hope this will help you to face the client but before that try to understand the client business and systems..!!!!(Imp)

Need to output large movie to dvd; settings, compression, etc?

I'm tyring to output a movie from Final Cut that is 2 hours and 21 minutes so that it will fit on a typical DVD.
What is my best option for exporting the sequence so that I can burn it using iDVD or DVD Studio Pro? Would it be better if I made the movie in 2 pieces and burned it to 2 discs?
Just wondering what compression setting I should select and if there are any options I need to tweak, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

compression is an art. one size does not fit all. make a test sequence of about minute. batch compress with various presets for your final. tweak and make changes, build a dvd and compare. it's not easy at all and you're gonna spend a lot of time testing and tweaking. time to crack the manual and have a go.

What Software/Techniques Needed to Write Slide Show to DVD?

Created my first slide show of +/- 1,200 slides in PSE 4.0 slideshow. No problem there. I want to burn this slideshow to a DVD that I can use in a laptop or other computer to view the slideshow on other computers with DVD drives, not necessarily to view on a TV. PSE 4.0 Help file says: Select "File"; then "Output Slide Show"; then "Burn to disc"; then "Select DVD Option." I'm ok to step "Burn to disc," but then there is no "Select DVD Option." Only options at this point are to select video format (NTSC or PAL), and Output Speed. "Burn VCD on drive (Phillips DVD+RW-D28)" is pre-printed in the dialog box and cannot be changed. Inserted a DVD+RW in drive, clicked "OK," and this disk was immediately ejected with a pop-up box reading "Incompatible media. Please insert a blank CD-R or a CD-RW disk to burn the VCD". (1,200 slides will not fit on VCD.) One user suggestion to reboot the computer to see a DVD option on screen did not help. My OS System is Windows XP. Two programs installed on my computer with the DVD burner, that I believe are DVD authoring programs: MyDVD v.3.5, and PowerDVD v.4.0. Must I have Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0, or some additional software (recommendation?) to create a "portable" slideshow to view on other computers?
Would appreciate any help!

>Must I have Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0, or some additional software (recommendation?) to create a "portable" slideshow to view on other computers?
Glad that you added the fact that you want to play the DVD on other computers - it does make a difference. As the prior post indicated, you really do need Premeire Elements or Nero Vision Express or Sonic MyDVD to make the DVD to view on a TV DVD player.
However, there is something else that might work if all people who will watch this slide show have a DVD player on their PC/laptop and play it using Windows Meida Player 10. So I suggest that you try it on your PC.
- In the slide show Editor of PSE 4, do your Output command to a WMV file on your hard drive.
- Then use whatever DVD software came with DVD burner to burn this WMV file to a DVD as a data file (NOT as a video DVD). Choose an output resolution that will be good for the monitors of the recipients.
- Next try to play this DVD on your system using Windows Media Player 10 (I don't know if earlier versions will play). I doubt that the software on your PC that plays commercial DVDs will play the WMV file; that is why I directed you to use Windows Media Player.
If you plan to distribute this to the general public, I think you will have problems with the recipients not having the necessary hardware or not understanding that they can't use their normal DVD player software. However if you are sending to a limited set of relatives and friends, it might work. If anyone has an Apple computer, I think there is software that will play a WMV file on Apple software, but it seems that many people may not have it.
In closing I will say
- be sure to save your slide show as a project so you can do multiple experiements (you may have already done this)
- it would be much more flexible as to how it is played if you did make a video DVD. However, you actually have a choice of using higher resolutions if you only save as a WMV file for play on a computer.

What do I need to do to play my dvd?

I've been trying to play my DVD from my firefox account but don't know how. Can you please help with this?
Thanks for your help.

What does a DVD have to do with a Firefox Account?
Firefox Accounts are for consumer services run by Mozilla.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Firefox_Accounts
Firefox doesn't play DVD's, that's a function of the operating system.
Normally Vista will auto run a DVD when it is inserted and the "drawer" is closed.
Open '''My Computer''' on the desktop. Then locate the CD / DVD drive under Removable Storage Device. Right-click that device and use '''Open ...'''

HT1338 What software is needed in Mountain Lion to open DVDs?

I have an application 'DVD Player" but any DVDs put into my Mac book pro are thrown out and nothing appears on the desktop.
Does mountain lion need some other application?

Ok, basically I'm trying to figure out if it's hardware or software.
If you go to the parallels website you can download a trial and use it for testing?
If it's early 2008, it's possible you still have a non ML clone lying about, (I tend to keep a bootable OS of a version other than that I use in my day to day to aid troubleshooting)?
So on a side note, if you don't have a backup solution think about one now?

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
John

Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
Sorry I can't offer anything.

What do you need to get video output to external monitor

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Color and have read a few posts that color can't be viewed by firewire to an external monitor. Basically what I have right now for external viewing in FCP is a JVC SR-VS30 Mini DV NTSC deck with firewire connected to my computer. From the deck it goes to a small TV set and a Sony Trinitron PVM color video monitor. What do I need extra to be able to see my color correction in Color on an external monitor. BTW in Color currently the Video Output tab in Setup>User Prefs is grayed out showing Disabled. I suppose that when I get whatever I need to see Color on an external monitor that this tab would NOT be grayed out or would I have to set some other settings.
Thanks.

Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.

LibreOffice gives you most if not all the functionality of Microsoft's Office suite of products (Excel, Word and PowerPoint).
ProjectLibre gives you most if not all the functionality of MS Project.
Both run natively on OS X and are totally FREE.
Lastly, if you need to access Windows computers from your Mac, Microsoft Remote Desktop is available for free from the App Store. It is a vast improvement over the Remote Desktop Connection that comes with the MS Office for Mac commercial product.

Hi
Where did the original movie come from
• miniDV tape Camera
• other Camera - in what codec if so
• from download - in what codec if so
and
How did You go from this
• via iMovie - how
• via FinalCut - how
• direct into iDVD ?
Did it play OK in iDVD Preview ?
Did You Save as a DiskImage ? Did this work OK ?
DVD - type used
DVD - Brand used
Did You set down burn speed ?
Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk - How much ?
You see there are so much more info needed to be able to pin the culprit.
