What PPI/DPI should I use when making a DVD menu in PS?

I am making a movie in HD and am wondering either the PPI or DPI recommended. Thanks!

Sorry to resurrect this but when I burn the menus to a DVD they look sort of fuzzy. Now if the PPI doesn't matter what can I do to increase definition? I used the DVD Presets that PS provides
You are either authoring/ transcoding wrongly or, assuming you refer to subpictures (buttons) looking rough around the edges, see normal behavior for a DVD. This has nothing to do with how the graphics are prepared in PS. In case one it's am ater of chosing the right settings, in case two it's a design limitation of the DVD(Video) specification. If you can tell us, what exactly you do and what program you use, we may be able to provide some tips.

PPI only applies to print. Don't set it to anything.
Photoshop defaults to 72 but the number is irrelevant for screen design.

You need to plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it. Have you tried that? If so, what happened?

What "Partitions" type should I use when I create an image in Disk Utility?

I have a Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder and have been creating images in Disk Utility to dump copies of my camcorders hard drive to. That way I can mount the disk image and import into iMovie just as if the camera was plugged in. These are the options I've been using:
Volume Size: varies
Volume Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Encryption: none
Partitions: Single partition - Apple Partition Map (the default I believe)
Image Format: read/write disk image
The option I'm not sure of and can't find much information on is Partitions. Up until now all the ones I've created use what I listed above. What is the difference between all the options (hard disk, cd/dvd, no partition, single partition - *multiple options*) and what should I be using to ensure long term compatibility with these disk images. Thanks.

You don't need the journaling feature. Everything else appears proper. As for the various formats, check DU's help files.

What pdf tag should I use for footnotes?

Which chart should I use when I have data in degrees ?

which chart (i.e, pie,polar,radar) should I use when I have data in degrees ?
I have a requirement that the data in one column contains degree/angle (i.e, 45degree,80 degree, 90 degrees)
now, I should show the data in a chart so that their should be colour variation. up to 45 degree should be one colour and the rest should be another colour.
Thanks in advance

Hi PrakashThandra,
According to your description, there is a column contains degree, you want to show data in chart, if degree is greater or equal to 45, it should be one color, the rest should be another color.
In Reporting Services, each chart type has unique characteristics to help us visualize our dataset. We can use any chart type to display our data, but the data will be easier to read when we use a chart type that is suitable to your data, based on what we
are trying to show in the report. In this case, we can use scatter chart, column chart and pie chart. To achieve your goal, please refer to the following steps:
In Pie chart, right-click the chart and click Series Properties.
Click Fill in left pane, click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=iif(Fields!Degree.Value>=45,"Green","Blue")
The following screenshots are for your reference:
For more information about chart types, please refer to the following document:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

It matters little. The slower the burn speed, i.e. 2x or 4x, the better the burn.
What is important is the brand of media: most of here recommend Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden.

What PPI should I use when exporting for a video project?

I shoot RAW photos. I like and use Premier Elements 11 to make video. Frequently I insert photos in the videos and enjoy using the Pan and Zoom technique (frequently credited to Ken Burns).
Resizing photos helps Premier Elements to run smoothly. The LR Export command makes it easy. Using PSD files works well in Premier Elements. However, I am confused about settings.
My understanding is that if no Pan&Zoom or cropping is to be done in the video the export should be 1920x1080. If Pan&Zoom is planned, the setting should be higher by about 50%. LR makes it simple by letting you specify the "Long Edge" so the setting would be 2880. The short edge will match the original.
What about "Pixels Per Inch" for a HD 1920x1080 video project that may be played on a big HD TV or smaller YouTube? There is plenty of information about PPI for printing and computer monitors, but not HD Video.
Here is screen capture for reference:
What should the pixels per inch be set at to match 1920x1080 video? The 140 setting is a complete guess!
Thanks in advance!

The above sentence from your first post is the correct answer with a few changes as to what settings you need to use in LR's Export module.
Anytime you "resize" an image it will lose sharpness unless you apply Output Sharpening. I have no idea if Premier Elements applies sharpening, how much it applies, or how much using large raw images slows it down. The best suggestion is for YOU to resize the raw images and apply Output Sharpening that meets YOUR taste as to "crispness." That way Premier Elements will use the properly sized TIFF or JPEG images (no PNG Export in LR) with no further modifications.
For 1080p (1920 x 1080) Videos:
Don't use the 'Long Edge' option in LR's Export module since you want both portrait and Landscape images to have the same height. Instead simply enter W: 1920, H: 1080, and Resolution as mentioned doesn't matter. For the Output Sharpening LR's Screen Standard setting should work fine, but review the resized images at 1:1 and adjust to your taste. LR's Develop module Sharpening settings should NOT be used for this purpose. This is for the initial "capture" sharpening only.
As you mentioned when using Zoom & Pan you will want to increase the file size proportional to the actual Zoom setting you are using inside Premier Elements:
150% = 2880 x 1620
200% = 3840 x 2160
300% = 5760 x 3240
For best results I'd limit your Zoom to 150%, especially if you’re having performance issues. You also don't want to make your image larger than its native camera raw resolution, which will reduce the sharpness. For higher Zoom settings simply Export the images full-size without using ‘Image Sizing’ or ‘Output Sharpening.’ Use 'File Settings' JPEG, sRGB, with 80 Quality setting, which will provide good results.

What exception should I use when commit work fails ?

hi all:
I create a class with methods to insert , modify and delete trasaction data,
when commit work fails, I want to throw an exception, what exception should I use
for this case?

In general, you should do your commit using CALL FUNCTION IN UPDATE TASK. As this runs in a different process, you will never be able to catch an exception in your main task, even if you throw one in the Open SQL code. What you should do is carefully validate your data before posting it to the database, so that commit cannot fail for data integrity reasons. If it fails for technical reasons (DB down etc.) there is nothing that your code could do about it anyway, so in this case even getting an exception would be no use. What exactly is it you are trying to accomplish?
