What format do I use when burning an audio CD?

Hello,
I'm wanting to fit the maximum amount of songs on a CDR using a 48x 700MB 80 minute disk.
So I know I go to preferences and then click on advanced and then burning. Then it says preferred speed (what speed do I want?), then audio CD, MP3 CD or Data CD or DVD. Do I always want to use audio when burning? I wanting to burn songs to playback.
Thanks,
M.

We are getting a bit off topic, but to answer your question, I use Toast version 6, but in general I love Toast and couldn't deal with having to use the Finder or Disk Utility to burn various kinds of CDRs and DVDs. Toast makes it much easier for many things and also tends to be faster to work with.
For example, if you use the Finder, you put in your blank, it goes on the desktop and then you drag and drop in stuff you want to put on the blank. You then have to wait for the machine to copy everything into a cache file somewhere which can take a long time if you are talking about 4GB of DVD data. THEN you burn the DVD.
With Toast, you can simply add and remove or move around stuff in your DVD/CDR project without waiting for a bunch of irritating copying. When you are ready, hit burn and it writes the stuff to your DVD.
Toast can do a lot of things the built Apple apps do not do or do not do very well.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

I want to format my hard drive so i can have files bigger than 4GB what format should I use?

I have a new hard drive that I want to format so it will work with both mac and PC (windows) but I have files that are bigger than 4GB, what format should I use?
It needs to work with both PC and mac because I need to go between two computers etc

If both of these computers are connect to the same router, both are in your home or place of work (Both are in the same location), it is very easy to Network them so you don't have to use DropBox or the external drive to share files between them.

What format do I use for internal drive?

I want to install a new internal harddrive into my Macbook. What format should I use for it?
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Mac OS Extended
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
MS-DOS (FAT)
ExFAT
I know MS-DOS(FAT) is what I should use for external to work on mac and windows. Can't remember which to use for the internal. I have an Intel-based Mac.
Thanks for your help.

I use SuperDuper for cloning my OSX volumes and it does not change the size of the destination partition to the size of the source partition.
So, you can make the destination partitions size to your liking and the cloning will not change it afterwards.
Keep in mind that SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner cannot clone a BootCamp Windows partition to a new harddisk, only OSX partitions.
But Parallels doesn't need to have a Windows partitions but is mostly just two files plus the Parallels app on your OSX partition.
And therefor it would be cloned with the rest of the OSX.

What port numbers are used when creating temporary queues

Using the following code as an example, what port(s) are used when creating temporary queues? Is it a range of ports? Is it random? And is it configurable? If you have any insight on this, please let me know. Thanks.
QueueConnection con = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
QueueSession session = con.createQueueSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
TemporaryQueue replyQueue = session.createTemporaryQueue();

The only ports I know about are the defaults ports:
JMS 7676
IIOP 3700
Are these the only ports that are used, even for temporary queues?

Every time Firefox opened

I do not know much on this subject. But check Window to see if
all the languages you need are listed. Then check your other
programs that, like Firefox, have their own language files.

What format do I use for to edit with footage from Isight camera (Mpeg-4)

I've been having trouble with the rendering of clips in the timeline. I'm using 3 video tracks and all of them were recorded on my Isight camera, making all of them mpeg 4 files so when I first imported them, every time I changed one little thing on the timeline, it all had to be rendered again but it took forever. So I went to easy setup and changed the format a few times to see if any would work since I haven't had this problem before but this is the first time I'm using clips from my isight camera. Does anyone know what format to use or do I need to convert the files?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You need to convert the media into a format that's natively editable in FCE. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do that.

What format should I use to archive camcorder videos.

I've seen many different variations of my question on the forums, but nothing answering all my questions. So, here goes.
I have a minidv camcorder and I've been ripping the video to dv files using imovie hd 6. I then put together the clips that should be together and tell imovie to convert those clips into one. My question is the format. I have been using dv, but for an hour minidv tape, it's over 10 gig. I then copy these dv files to my external drive and back them up with mozy.
My question is what format "should" I be archiving them to? I plan on keeping them forever of course. And there might be a day that I go to mess with them, maybe add some effects. I'm no video editor, but I'm finding that the mac has such awesome (and easy for a beginner) tools that I actually want to mess with video.
There are so many formats, but I don't want to lose quality to save hd space. If I were to convert them to mov or mpeg4, would the quality be as good. What about size, would the size be much different?
Sorry for the large post. I'm a little lost when it comes to this stuff, but I'm trying to learn.
Thanks.

Cool, thanks. I had a feeling at least one person was going to say that, but I wanted to make sure. With the price of external hard drive's dropping like they are, and mozy being so cheap, might as well use the space and keep the quality.
Thanks again...

Since iDvd is no longer supplied with Lion, what is best to use to burn to dvd for TV?

Since iDvd is no longer supplied with Lion, what is the best product to use to burn to dvd for TV from iMac? Is there a free solution?

Thank you very much for the link. I'm in the process of evaluating the trial version of a couple of products other than iDvd. Since iDvd does not have a trial, I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions. Once I'm done, I plan on putting up the resluts of what I've found. Work is very busy this week, so I probably won't get a chance to work on this much until next week.
Anyway, I'm importing movies from my Sony Handycam DCR-TRV20. I've used iMovie to perform the download from the camcorder (the other products don't support this). The other products can work directly on the imported .dv files without having to export things from iMovie as a .mov file. I have not had time to see if there is a quality difference between a burned DVD with .dv clips vs. .mov imported from iMovie. So my questions regarding iDvd are as follows:
Can iDvd work directly on .dv files, or do you need to import .mov from iMovie?
If iDvd can work with these files directly, is it easy to do things such as clip them and do affects on them?
Is there a quality difference when viewing a burned DVD if .dv files were used vs. imported .mov files?
Since I have later versions of the iLife products than what comes packaged in the iLife that contains iDvd, can you install only iDvd in what is purchased from Amazon?
Thank you very much is you know the answer to any of these questions.

What PDF settings are used when creating DPS articles?

When you create a PDF file using Acrobat Distiller or InDesign you can modify settings such as font subsets, image down-sampling and compression which will have an impact on the final file size. Does anyone know what settings are used when articles are rendered in PDF format in DPS and can the settings be modified? Specifically, what type of compression is applied to images? If I were to place two images on a page, a png and a jpg with medium quality, would they be embedded in the PDF as is or re-compressed in another format and/or level of quality?

Thanks for your help.
So images placed in an InDesign retain their original file format and are unzipped when the article is loaded in the app.
I'm assuming that if compression is applied to the original image files it can have an impact on performance. If you were to use jpeg files in a document they would need to be unzipped and decompressed. I've read other forum posts that suggest the iOS jpeg decompression engine is too slow to present a fluid user experience in a DPS app. The combined processing time of unzipping and decompressing jpegs files may steer me towards the png format.
