Whats the best way to save large folders/files on multiple dvds?

hi,
A quick question about the best way to save to dvd(4.7gb disc) a large number of folders/files.I've got about 30-40gb of stuff to save from mp3 sample files through to logic audio files.I already have them saved to another HD but i just want to be extra safe and have another back up.In the past i've just saved it disc by disc creating each folder as i go dragging the appropriate folder across.I was just wondering whether there was an easier way than this.May be an application where i can drag all the files and it will sort and save everything for me much like the way itunes now saves/backups files.
thanks
darren

Hi darrenz,
if you have Toast you can save your stuff using Toast. There's a great option within Toast. You need to select the Data tab and choose "Mac only". Then just drag all the stuff you want to burn to the Toast window and it will automatically ask for another DVD until everything is burnt. After that all your DVDs will have a Toast Restore app on them. It lets you select what you want to restore and will tell you which DVDs to insert. Here's a screenshot I found by googling: http://www.macworld.com/images/content/2005/08/19/toast7restore.jpg

Premiere Pro 2.0 slows when dealing with larger video files

I'm having issues with Premiere Pro 2.0 slowing to a crawl and taking 60-90 seconds to come back to life when dealing with larger .avi's (8+ mins). When I try to play a clip on the timeline, drag the slider over said clip, or play from a title into said clip on the timeline, Premiere hangs. The clips on question are all rendered, and the peak file has been generated for each different clip has well. This is a new problem; the last time I was working with a larger clip (45+ mins, captured from a Hi-8 cam), I had no problems. Now, I experience this slow down with all longer clips, although I've only dealt with footage captured from a Hi-8 cam and also a mini-DV cam. This problem has made Premiere nearly unusable. I'm desperate at this point.
System:
CPU: P4 HT 2.4ghz
Ram: 2x 1gb DDR
Video: ATI Radeon 9000 Series
Scratch Disk: 250gb WD My Book - USB 2.0 (I suspect this might be part of the problem)
OS: XP Pro SP2
I'm not on my machine right now, and I can definitely provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance.

Aside from some other issues, I found that USB was just not suited for editing to/from, and on a much faster machine, that you list.
FW-400 was only slightly better. It took FW-800, before I could actually use the externals for anything more than storage, i.e. no editing, just archiving.
eSATA would be even better/faster.
Please see Harm's ARTICLES on hardware, before you begin investing.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Oops, I see that Harm DID link to his articles. Missed that. Still, it is worth mentioning again.
Also, as an aside, PrPro 2.0 has no problem on my workstation when working with several 2 hour DV-AVI's, even when these are edited to/from FW-800 externals.

Best way to copy large VM files from one drive to another?

Hi all, I am wondering what the best and fastest way there is to copy a large VM file from one drive to another (external drive to internal drive). Should the .pvm folder (in my case with Parallels) be zipped first? The files I need to copy range from 50 to 70gb. thx for any insight! ps. Even Bombich admits it's difficult for CCC to do...not clear why, but it does slow a full clone down to a crawl. I also have Chronosync at my disposal, but suspect the same is true there as well. Cheers!

I don't think it matters much which way you do the job. I use Parallels to compress by drives on a regular basis. If you want to copy a dynamic VM, which can grow to just about any size as required, to another drive you will use about the same amount of time zipping the VM - transfering the VM - unzipping the VM, as you would just moving the VM.
I've moved my VM files to a second partition that does not get cloned to my bootable backup that I create with SuperDuper. I've excluded my entire VM folder from Time Machine and just make zipped backups for each system after any large Service Pack Updates from Microsoft, or any intricate program installations. These get copied to a second partition on my Time Machine drive manually.
My VM's sizes are kept under control by using common Documents-Movies-Music folders for the Mac and the VM's. My VM's do not have the data files the programs use, they are on my Mac and get backed up every hour with Time Machine.
Reinstalling a VM just means deleting the broken copy, unzipping my latest backup, and putting into the same folder that Parallels knows to use. The data files are always accessible, even if they were created after my latest VM backup.

Best Way To Extract Large Text Files From Query

Using CF7/SQL Server 2000. I need to extract about 50,000 records from another server, and save it to a .CSV file. Not sure what the best method is for this. I've got the query written, and it will pull all the records. But don't want to display them on the screen, just store in a .CSV file somewhere on the server.
I've looked at CFFILE and CFDIRECTORY, and those don't seem to be the best tools for this. What about using CFCONTENT with CFHEADER? I use that to output to Excel files
<CFCONTENT type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="attachment; filename=c:\mydir\myfile.xls">
But when trying to use it, it doesn't save the file on my drive. Would appreciate advice on the best tools/tags for extracting large volumes of data from other servers, and saving to a local file.
Once working, ultimately, I'd like to set it up, so the .CFM job runs daily, automatically, extracts the data and FTP's it to another server. I've seen the CFFTP tag, but until I can get a file saved on my drive, or another server's drive, there's nothing to FTP. Thanks for any help/advice.
Gary

Thanks, but I can't find any good examples of using CFFILE (just syntax of the tag, which doesn't make a lot of sense). I've been writing CF code for 8 years, and feel I can make it sing and dance. But I didn't understand how CFFILE worked, from reading the online documentation and my Ben Forta books. There are no good examples. Do you still write the query with CFQUERY, then "substitutute" CFFILE for CFOUTPUT? Or enclose CFFILE inside CFOUTPUT? I can't find any examples that explain this.
I just need to see a basic example of CFFILE "in action." Starting with a simple query, and a simple output that writes the query results to a file.
Lastly, once you have the data written to a file, using CFFILE, is that when you can use CFFTP, to FTP that file, (or any file on the hard drive for that matter) to another server?
Thanks for help, and any simple examples, just to get me started. Thanks.

Whats the best way to check weather a file exists online, or not?

Hi!
I need to show an Image File in my app which may have different sizes. _1.jpg, _2.jpg and so on.. If, for example, _2.jpg does not exist, I have to take _1.jpg.
So my question is: is there a better way instead of making/allocating a pic and asking pic != nil ?
thx!
alex

Hi Alex -
The subject line says "file exists online, or not?". Are you trying to check existence at a network site, or the local file system? I'll cover the local fs first, since that's the easiest. If you need to search a remote site, I think we'll need some more details.
Assuming an iPhone project (not specified, but your usual topic), NSFileManager will probably be all you need unless the files are localized and/or in the application bundle, in which case you'll want NSBundle. For example, say you're storing all the jpg's in the user's cache directory:
#define MAXFN 5
// return nil or the path to the file with the highest numeric suffix
- (NSString)getPathForBestFile:(NSString)baseName extension:(NSString*)ext {
NSString *bestFilePath = nil;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
// locate the user's cache directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(
NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *cacheDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(@"cacheDirectory=%@", cacheDirectory);
// loop through file names with numeric suffixes
for (int i = 1; i <= MAXFN; i++) { />/
NSString *fileName =
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_%d.%@", baseName, i, ext];
NSString *filePath =
[cacheDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent: fileName];
NSLog(@" filePath=%@", filePath);
if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
bestFilePath = filePath;
return bestFilePath;
If you need to use NSBundle, see pathForResource:ofType:. If you need to determine the existence of a file at a network site, please give us some details about the kind of server and how much you'll know about the possible file locations.
Hope that helps!

Best way to share large video files between 2 macs

My partner in NY is trying to send me over 10 GB of video to edit. We are currently doing it over AIM/ichat.
Is there a better way to do this? As we keep losing the connection, probably due to aim. Can he turn his mac into an FTP or something

This is easily done over AFP. He should:
1) Put the files in /Users/hisaccount/Public
2) Enable File Sharing (System Preferences -> Sharing)
3) Note his IP address (System Preferences -> Network) and e-mail the IP address to you
Once he has done that, you should:
1) Under Finder's Go menu, select Connect to Server
2) Enter afp://11.22.33.44 (or whatever his IP address is)
3) Browse his public folder for the files
4) Drag them to your Desktop or desired location to make your own copy of them.
10GB is a lot of data to send over the internet. Depending on the upload speed of his internet connection it might just be faster to burn a few DVDs and send them to you by express mail.

What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

Hi,
Are you asking with regards to on-premises Exchange? With Microsoft Online SaaS services (aka Exchange Online) there is no control and no need to control which data center a mailbox resides in.
With regard to on-premises Exchange, you have two choices: you can move it over the WAN in which case you would either do a native mailbox move (assuming you have Exchange 2010 or later you can suspend the move after the copy so you can control the
time of the cutover) or create a database copy in the second data center and once the database copies have synchronized change the active copy.
The other choice is to move is out of band which would usually involve an offline seed of the database (you could conceivably move via PST file but that would disrupt access to the mailbox and is not really the 'best way').
In general, Exchange on-premises questions are best asked on the Exchange forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
Thanks,
Guy

Just bought macbook air; had macbook macbook with Tiger software. What is best way to upload photos to icloud on old computer without upgrading it's software? thanks.

just bought a macbook air upgrading from old macbook with Tiger software; what is best way to take photos from old backbook to icloud so I can see them or download on the new air; Have an external harddrive backup. photo library is too large to transfer directly.thanks.

Memory size has nothing to do with it. I can open my 60GB iPhoto library with only 8GB RAM. Perhaps you have an incompatible version of iPhoto under Tiger with iPhoto under ML.
As to downloading different photos from iCloud, you would do the same if you ...
* open iPhoto under Tiger
* dump the photos individually in to a folder on your external hard drive
* shut down everything on the old MacBook
* connect the external hard drive to new MacBook
* open iPhoto on new MacBook
* import the photos in the folder on the external hard drive directly in to the new iPhoto
IOW, you need not use iCloud (even if you could, which you cannot) to swap photos as you propose.
If you are at a loss for space on your external hard drive for whatever reason (perhaps that external hard drive is a full Time Machine partition), I recommend that you buy another external hard drive just for your photos.

When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

The advice to go to Compressor left out the part that you may want to convert your audio to AC3 becaus ethe MPEG2 bitrate is probably too high for DVD specs.
This method is in the DVDSP manual and it's in the Compressor manual, both difficult to locate, but easily searchable.
Here's what I'd do: Export the timeline form FCP in the native sequence settings, self-contained. Bring that self-contained movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP handle the transcode.
The advice to go to iDVD is even easier.
