What is the absolute best quality xport for a dvd?

I want to export the best quality Movie. Standard definition, 60 minute long movie. Should I go through Compressor, or would a simple FCS-2 Quicktime Xport due, if so then what settings should I put it at. When I bring it into DVD Studio Pro, How do I make it Burn the Best. I'm Just Curious, I usually do a standard quicktime export and I want to make sure I'm not if I can do anything to improve. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, Cinema. There's a ton of people on here with lots of good advice and experience, so read frequently and if you have any questions do a quick search before posting. You'll probably find the answers.
As far as best export out of FCP, the best is going to be File>Export>Quicktime Movie. This will export your project with the settings your timeline is set to. Any other option is going to compress the project somehow and you'll lose quality.
Compressor and DSP I'm still learning myself, so do some reading on the forum and in the manual (always a good place to look) and see what you can find.
Hope this sets you on the right track.

What is the absolute best headset?

I watched the "Apple Online Seminar" on podcasting and now I'm all concerned about my microphone. The headset I am currently using is so convenient I hate to give it up. It makes me wonder what the absolute best headset available is. With the popularity of podcasting I would think one would be available that has some type of "pop filter". Please share your thoughts on whether there is any way to achieve quality sound with a headset...

Hi,
The list for microphone is endless but the best thing to do is to check out this site that gives different user reviews about microphones for podcasts. On the other hand, if you are operating in a tight budget you should also considering preparing the room you record your sounds in to have good acoustics(no background noise and no echo) and then have an "okay" microphone.
Here is the website with the reviews:

Hope this info helps,

HT1476 What is the absolute best way to recharge my iPhone 5S?

What is the absoulute best way to charge and discharge my iPhone 5S? Should I wait until the battery is below a certain percentage level before recharging?

Plug it in anytime you desire.
Charge it until you are ready to unplug it, then do so.
The only no-no is allowing the device to completely discharge.

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

These work. "Drag to Trash" does not remove all parts of the app.

If you want something free, the first one. I would recommend [CleanApp|http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp> if you are going to pay for something. CleanApp has a lot more functionality, just don't get carried away with deleting too much.

So iWeb is dead? what is the next best thing for a beginner?

Hi Guys,
I have my new Mac and i want to build my first website....with iWeb dead, what is the next best web builder for a beginner like me...? I want to creat a blog add the odd photo and link to my twitter page. Thats about it.....any suggestions?
Many thanks
Ian

Are you saying that you have an iWeb blog hosted on a 3rd party ftp server which allows visitors to add comments? That would be a first since the following has always been part of iWeb's Help file:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
The following is a screenshot of iWeb Help on publishing to an ftp server:
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two feature will be broken.

What's the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?

Whats the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?
This movie trailer will be sent to a distributer overseas.
The export I been resorting to lately is MPEG 2 DV High Quality as oppose to anything HDTV because it just shrinks the picture, obviously lol
Do I have anymore options besides Mpeg 2: NTSC DV High Quality?

Lagarith is a codec that you install separately. A very brief Search would have given you that info.
You can access the Lagarith option (once installed) using the Microsoft AVI format, and selecting Lagarith under Video Codec in the Video tab.

HT3775 I NEED I TUNES FOR A 64 BIT PC. OPERATING SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 8, NON TOUCH SCREEN. WHICH IS THE ABSOLUTELY BEST WAY TO GET ITUNES OPERATING CORRECTLY ON MY PC????//I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS, NONE OF WHICH ARE WORKING. IS ITUNES DELIBERATELY EXCLUDI

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Best quality settings for AME?

I am new to CS4 and the workflow changes.....but I do have a question regarding AME. In your best experience, what are the best settings for exporting AVI files to use again Premiere? I used to set my export aettings to no recompression, AVI as the codec. However, it seems that is not an option in AME. I am looking for best PERCEPTIBLE quality, NTSC, standard DV for now.....HD later.I see AME has options for "maximum quality"(what does that mean SPECIFICALLY)and 24 bit depth, but are any of those PERCEPTIBLE?
Thoughts? Thansk!

Is it "better" to encode in PPRO then let Encore select the best bit rate for your DVD?
The results should be similar; both use the same encoder. The advantage of letting Encore do it is that you don't have to worry about bitrate before hand.
But if bitrates don't scare you, the real way to get top quality is to export out a Lagarith intermediary file, then use the free HC Encoder to make the MPEGs for Encore.
can the average viewer see the loss?
In my experience, no. Especially without something different to compare it to. But my view is that as a video producer, it's my job to get the best possible results. The average viewer may not be able to tell that yours isn't as good as it could be, but they might well be able to tell that mine just looks better.

What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibooks?

What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibookes? I know the requirement is very specific.
And what is the best tool to do so? I tried to use the native screenshot tool but it is hard to make the size precise.

Minimum size is 600 pixels in the shorter dimension. Maximum size is 2048 pixels in the longer dimension. That's what you get when you take a screenshot on a new iPad. (There is no point in having something larger than this.) Screenshots taken with an older iPad are 1024x768.
For my book, I just took screenshots on an iPad 2 (1024x768) and used those. They were accepted without complaint.

Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.

Hi all,

The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.You have one other HUGE resource that, while it won't answer your current question, you'd better start getting familiar with if you are going to use Oracle. That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

Does anybody know how I can upgrade my Oracle 11.1.0.7 version to the R2 release?

HT5848 What is the sampling rate and codec for iTunes Radio. Is it lossless encoded?

What is the sample rate and codec for iTunes Radio? Is it lossless encoded?

I have to agree with you. There are several forum discussions on bit rate being as high as 256 kbps but I don't see how it could be more than 96 kbps based on the poor sound quality I'm hearing. I'm comparing it to an internet radio station that is 128 kbps and sounds much better.
Am I missing something?
