What is best BD-R option for price

I just upgraded from DV to HDV and am getting used to a new AG-AC160A camcorder and Premiere Pro CS5. The learning curve is becoming more costly than expected with the price of BD-R disks. Any thoughts on what the best option is for least expensive, but reliable disks Blu-Ray disks for practicing? I have used Verbatim 25GB 6x. I thought I read somewhere that I should not be using rewritable disks for video. Thank you.

its just that some video PLAYERS ( home dvd and blu ray players ) CANNOT play RW discs...
I have a pretty new polaroid TV ( 720p ) flat screen with a built in DVD player. It cannot play RW discs.
So if you make discs you have to know if the player can play it... like, say you make a disc for you brother.. ask him if his player can play RW or etc....
the lowest common denominator is just simple .... no RW....and then the most players will be able to play that disc..
thats the only reason.
computers can more or less play everything in comparison to the home stuff...know what I mean ?
I like verbatim too.... from what I hear most people like that brand.
good luck

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player?

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player? I don't want to deal with older versions of ilife.

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk
In my opinion, there are none.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Best quality audio option for Ipod classic

Hello to everyone, I got a 160 Ipod classic as a present and I dont have previous experience. I am choosing the best way to import the CD collection and came to this 3 choices, after doing some research in the web
-AAC at 320. I have a trained ear and think I can tell the difference with 256, the difference in storage is not that big
-AIFF. I not really counting on this becasuse the files are big and I guess I colud onlu get around 400 CDs on 150 GB
-Apple lossless. I have read the quality is similar to Aiff and they dont take a lot of space.
What do you guys think is the best option for this 160 gb model? quality is important for me. I think the choice is AAC at 320 or Apple lossless, But Apple lossless is still almost double size files than the 320 AAc, so I dont know
Thanks a lot and best regards

There is no definite answer for this, your hearing is unique to you.
The best thing to do is choose a few songs and put them on your iPod in all the different formats you are considering. Then listen to the same song in the different formats and see whether if like the lower bit rate version or if you must have the higher bit rate version.
Personally, I use (good quality) Bose on-ear headphones, a Bose speaker dock and a Klipsch speaker dock. Most of my songs are in 192kbps AAC, some are 256kbps and I don't hear the difference. But then, my age means that my hearing is no longer as acute as it was.
Since you have a 160GB iPod, if you have the room (that is, not too many songs), use the higher bit rate. I began using the higher bit rate when I realised I had the room.

Whats the best tv to get for apple tv?

What's the best TV to get for the apple TV's ?

Most should work, the pre-requisites would be an HDMI socket supporting HDCP and 720p or 1080p capability.
There are too many variables such as screen size, styling, plasma vs LCD etc, cost and other fancy features on modern TVs - you may want a basic no frills display with good picture quality or a bells and whistles SmartTV.

What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
Thanks,
Chuck Taylor

Question:
If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
Should I look at a different encoder?
If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
thanks.

Outgrowing storage - best NAS/SAN options for OS X Server environment?

Hi All,
We use an Xserve (2x3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) for our production/graphic design team. I have a 1TB ADM dedicated to "live" jobs and another 1TB ADM for "archived" jobs. (A third, smaller ADM houses OS X Server only...)
Both 1TB drives have a dedicated 1TB external drive for nightly backups and another for weekly backups (we use SuperDuper). This very basic system has worked well for us, but our storage needs are increasing. I'd like to double our current scheme -- just bump the "live" and "archived" environments up to 2TB.
I see a lot of NAS and SAN options. Main concerns for me are:
1) compatibilty with our current Mac OS X Server environment;
2) cost; and
3) ideally, preservation of our clean and simple backup scheme
Wanted to get input from other Xserve/OS X Server users as far as the best options for this transition...
Thanks!

I am a huge fan of the Netgear (formerly ReadyNAS) NAS devices. I've owned 2 of them now, and am now standardized on the little 4-bay NVX Pro. It supports AFP perfectly as well as Time Machine, SMB/CIFS for any windows needs, iSCSI, NFS, RSYNC, etc. etc. iSCSI is a great option not to be under-estimated, though NFS is the more traditional backup model for Network storage. I backup several Apple machines to the single NAS, which is now running 4x3TB drives in the XRAID2 format (essentially RAID5). I can pull a drive in live production and swap it out and the RAID re-syncs without interrupting file transfers, etc. It's also got some nice plugin's of some open source tools like Subsonic server, Wordpress, etc. etc. They make a myriad of devices with the same basic software, just different amount of drive bays, enterprise vs. SMB market, etc. etc. Again, I chose the NVX Pro, but there are other options up and down the line-up. And no, I have no officialiation with Netgear, in fact on a certain level, my company competes with them :-) Lastly, remember, there is value in off-site backups as well, in case of fire, theft, etc. If you're really paranoid, like me, you could additionally mirror your NAS to an off-site NAS or other cloud-based solution. Of course, there's a cost for everything. Good luck with it.

I used the drawing option in AppleWorks. What is an equivalent program/option for Lion?

I used the drawing option in AppleWorks. What is an equivalent program/option in Lion? I use it to design quilts.

Nothing that comes with Lion.
Just put, "osx drawing program free," in Google and take your pick.
First one on the list is one called Paintbrush: http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/
You could also just search the App Store.

What is the best Graphic Card Option for me?

I have a first generation Quad Core Mac Pro with a Radeon X1900XT with dual DVI Connections for my two older Apple 24" LCD Displays. I want the best card to run Adobe CS5 and support dual DVI for my 2 monitors. I was told maybe the ATI 4870 or 5770. What would be the best card for CS5 and Final Cut Studio?

300 dollars.. 250 for the backplane board(661-5706), and for the single processor tray(661-5707) - your price may vary.. I got mine for 50 dollars.
so, for 300 dollars.. you can make your 2009 mac pro into a 2010.. and yes, you can use the same existing processors.. the good news is that 1333 mhz memory works with the following processors in the new board: W3570, W3580(High end 3.33 2009 mac pro quad which was 1400.00 extra as a configure to order on apple's store from a 2.66 quad-core at 2499.99), and finally the W3680.
I am running still my w3580 with now 8GB of DDR3 1333 mhz memory.. it was 1066, but i got 1333 for a great price..
If you want to know more information about this, please send me a private email.
I can help you if you want..
Please note: if you have the 4870 HD Apple version, and not pc flashed, the sensor reading is too high for the 2010's firmware... you will need the GT120 or the 5770 graphics card.. 5870 is not going to be available for sometime and there is rumor from AMD themselves stating the card might be EOL..

What would be the best Adobe Product option for me if I only need it to be able to convert PDF documents to Excel Format?

Hello, I'm hoping to pick everyone's brain about which Adobe Acrobat Product / License I would need if the only Function I require is the ability to convert PDF documents to Excel format. This would not include Scanned documents.

Only you can decide what is a "best fit".
PDF content export to Excel can be performed by Acrobat XI or either of Adobe's online subscription services "ExportPDF" or "PDF Pack".
Be well...

Whats the best external drive setup for FCP and accompanying software?

With all the external Hard Drives out there I am hoping that other users could suggest the best options when setting up FCP to work with an external drive. I am working with both SD and HD and am planning to use DVD Studio, Soundtrack Pro along with Motion and AE.
With all the info out there claiming to be the 'best' it gets a little confusing. I bought a 2T WD HD with Firewire 400, 800 and eSATA connections. With the amount of footage I have to capture this wont last long. And the intention is to archive this footage and making it easy to access in a year or two.
Which is best type of connection? Firewire 800 or eSata? Any Suggestions as to a really good external hard drive set up that I can add to as finances allow?

Not quite sure what this question has to do with Qmaster, but what the heck.
The simple response is get the fastest and biggest external you can. If you are getting a drive mechanism without swappable disks, purchase 2 mechanisms - 1 for use when editing and the second for backing up. Purchase a 3rd drive to back up your system drive.
If you go the swapable drive bay route, you'll pay more for the mechanism but you'll recoup the cost as you can purchase additional bare drives for a fraction of the cost of another whole mechanism.
The fastest connection speed is esata then FW800 then FW400. USB is not appropriate to editing video (but can be used for simple backups).
If you have the resources, something like a Caldigit HDOne is a high performer. If that's out of your range, look into their VR line or something from MacBurley. Granite Digitial also makes good basic devices.
Have fun.

The BEST create tablespace options for 9i

What is the best create tablespace command with options to create a tablespace that will be used for a partition in a partitioned table that will potentially get very big with lots of users and lots of data for a very big OLTP database?

I would prefer locally managed tablespaces with uniform extent sizes. For the segment space management, it depends on the concurrency of transactions on this table, but I would prefer automatic segment space management generally.
