What's the better procedure for HDV to DVD SP?

I found 2 articles on how to take an HDV timeline and export it for DVD SP for a SD DVD.
Anyone use either of these procedures? What results in a better quality video?

OK. So to report back:
Having set the sequence to render as ProRes and then exporting via Compressor looks as bad as exporting a straight HDV sequence via Compressor.
So I reset the Render setting to "Same as sequence" and exported a small part using the procedure outlined in my first post, exporting using quicktime conversion. That looked great.
Exporting using Quicktime conversion or straight quicktime takes the same amount of time on my system (intel iMac), so I opted to go with Ken Stone's recommendation and use Quicktime Conversion, since that's the more recent recommendation.(The other link did recommend outputing a QT file, but it was a year older. Maybe the author(s) learned something in the interim?)
So now I am in the middle of a 20 hour export to a QT file. I'll report back in about 13 hours...

    what is the charging procedure for european travel? do  need to use a converter or just an adapter?

    The only thing would be an adapter, for example World Travel Adapter Kit from the Apple Store.
    The power supply will accept the 240V input in Europe.

  • Update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
    ... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

    It doesn't matter that the damage doesn't appear to be related to the problem you're having. Once the phone is damaged, the warranty is void.

  • What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

    I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
    I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
    I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
    What is the correct procedure after that?

    If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
    Neville,
    So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
    Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
    Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
    Yes, I have a bootable clone,
    And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
    Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
    Good Luck

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

  • What is the best format for HDV video for a computer playback

    Hello guys,
    I have made a very nice HDV video and after the frustration and awful results with compression for
    SD DVD, I have decided just to export that video as a file, put that file on DVD, so people can just pop that DVD into their computers, copy that file on their HD and play it. (so there is no compression needed for over internet data transfer, Bit Rates for space, etc). The video is
    HDV 1080i 60. If I export it from FCP as a QT Movie the quality is beautiful. But when being watched on the computer screen, there are those interlace lines visible, when any faster motion in the video occurs. So I am wondering, what would be the best export option in order to provide best qualities for computer playback. Would it be some of those QT progressive modes, like 1080 p24? Or any other?
    Thank you for your help.
    Cheers,
    K.

    Why are you using FCP 6.02? Why didn't you do the update to 6.04?? I did, and I am having tons of issues
    That is pretty much the reason. It is fresh out the gate and so far untested. I am not an early adopter of any new technology (soft or hardware wise). I like to wait it out and see what other peoples' experience is. A bit of a prickish way to put it is: "In Chess, the pawns go first." (I'm a big Chess nerd -- I have Chess analogies for just about everything).
    But even if the latest FCP, OS X and QT versions were humming along without any reported issues by the "power users" (by that I mean people who are editing on their systems 40+ hours a week in a professional capacity) I still wouldn't have upgraded because I am in the middle of three projects.
    Well, that isn't entirely the truth. I started all three projects on a PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11 and FCP 5.1.4. In the midst of this I started an across-the-board upgrade -- new computer, monitor, OS and FCS. But what I did (am still doing) is migrating from one to another and testing the performance on the new one before committing. In doing my research before hand, I see that the magic cocktail for stability appears to be OS X 10.5.2, FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.4.5 so I built my new MacPro to that and stayed there. I have migrated all my current projects to the new system and have been putting the new setup to the test and is passing at every turn, so I feel confident I can work on this new system and will be retiring the PowerMac soon, but throughout this process I always had my stable G4 setup available so I wouldn't risk losing any work.
    Might the reason the video you compressed "looked great" be because you didn't do the update?
    Maybe, but I can't say with any certainty.
    In the old compressor, I had no problems (in earlier versions of my project) compressing the video. It always looked GREAT! In 3.03, I get weird issues that don't make sense to me at all.
    In the older version of compressor, this never happened. Even on this project.
    Then I would think the update is the likely culprit.
    Here is what I would like to try as my final attempt. I just bought yet ANOTHER computer. A Mac Pro/Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeo. I'd like to try to load Final Cut Studio on this machine, but where should I stop my upgrading? What is good stable working system for everyone??
    OS X 10.5.2, FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.4.5 is working great for me, and it appears for others here as well. I am running a new octo-2.8GHz Mac Pro.

  • What is the correct procedure for moving iTunes Library on an iMac (or any Mac) from one location to another?

    I have an new iMac and a MacBook Air, both with 256GB solid state drives.  I don't want my iTunes Library to reside on the solid state drives so would appreciate knowing the step by step procedure for moving the iTunes Library from the solid state drive to my 1TB HD2.
    Many thanks,

    Niel,
    I appreciate your prompt assistance which worked fine.  However, I think Apple should take a tip from Dropbox and have a menu item for Moving the iTunes Library.

  • What is the best compression for HDV 1080i60 video to be played on iTunes?

    Hello guys,
    I would like to make an HDV video podcast for iTunes and possibly for other podcasting sites. My source format is HVD 1080i60, each episode would be about 10 minutes long. So I am wondering what format, compression and settings work best while keeping reasonable quality.
    Thank you for any tip or advise.

    One thing I forgot to mention: the Apple TV setting H.264 file won't play on an iPod. If you did need an iPod/iPhone compatible version, then the export setting to use would be Movie to iPod. This will make a 640x360 file. The full explanation of the differences between iPod and Apple TV formats is at http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#formattingvideo

  • What is the correct procedure for repairing permissions

    I am getting ready to upgrade to Tiger from Panther. I have used the disk utility to repair permissions after an upgrade or hardware addition. I have always done it using the disk utility and not from a boot up on the OS install dvd.
    Is there a difference? I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
    Thanks for any info!
    Ymir

    I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
    I assume you are referring to the log entries which contain "We are using special permissions..."
    If so, you can safely ignore those messages. They are purely informational. This is not indicative of a permissions problem.
    There is also no need to repair permissions while booted from the system DVD. Running it the way you are is fine, and you should only need to do it when you have a problem with your machine resulting from improperly set permissions.

  • What is the proper procedure for shutting down a TCPListener?

    Should the Server (the socket) be shutdown before stopping the TcpListener?
    sample:
    if (theTcpListener != null)
      if (theTcpListener.Server != null)
        if (theTcpListener.Server.Connected)
          theTcpListener.Server.Shutdown(System.Net.Sockets.SocketShutdown.Both);
          theTcpListener.Server.Disconnect(false);
          theTcpListener.Server.Close();
        theTcpListener.Server.Dispose();
      theTcpListener.Stop();
      theTcpListener = null;

    >>Should the Server (the socket) be shutdown before stopping the TcpListener?
    Close any TcpClient ( TcpClient client = server.AcceptTcpClient(); ) and the call the Stop() method on the TcpListener object. Please refer to the following sample code for more information:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    As the documentation states: the Stop method closes the underlying Socket and creates a new Socket for the TcpListener but you are responsible for closing your accepted connections separately:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.stop(v=vs.110).aspx.

  • What is the recommended procedure for upgrading the OS?

    I'm a creative cloud subscriber and am about to perform an upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8. Has this scenario been tested? Should I deactivate and/or uninstall my Adobe products before the upgrade, and then reinstall after? Will this be considered a 'new' computer, and cost me another install?
    Let me know if there is any documentation available for 'best-practices' when upgrading an OS with Adobe products installed.
    Thank you.

    The only thing would be an adapter, for example World Travel Adapter Kit from the Apple Store.

  • What is the correct Procedure for all of this?

    I'm on a Mac with latest Mavericks OS  and Latest Aperture 3.5.1
    I moved around a lot of Projects and added to them and deleted some.
    I want to replace my Photo internal hard drive with a new one
    I want to replace my external hared drive that has my Vault on it that is now too small with a 1TB hard drive.
    I  haven't done anything with the library like restoring it and done nothing with the Vault since my current external hard drive is now too small. One big mistake I made was I have a folder with folders in it on my desktop 37 GB of images That I added to Aperture If I now drag that folder and all it's internal folders to my Photography internal hard drive will the link to them be broken?
    I would also like to rename my Vault and Library since they have old dates in there name.
    Thank You

    One big mistake I made was I have a folder with folders in it on my desktop 37 GB of images That I added to Aperture If I now drag that folder and all it's internal folders to my Photography internal hard drive will the link to them be broken?
    Have imported that folder to Aperture as referenced images? Then don't move the images in this folder using the Finder, but let Aperture relocate the original image files in this folder to your new drive.  Select all referenced images in Aperture in the browser and use the command "File > Relocate Originals" and select a destination folder on your new drive.
    See this manual page:  Working with Referenced Images
    To move the library itself, just drag it to the new drive and then double click the copy  to open it in Aperture.
    As to the vault - it is essentially an aperture library, but it might be easier to let Aperture create a new vault on a replacement drive, then to copy the vault over.

  • What is the best program for editing and DVD creation?

    I am looking for a software that allows me to create a DVD with menus,etc.   I would prerfer to edit in iMovie and export my video to a DVD software.  But if anyone knows of a better editing system with DVD creation possibilities please let me know!

    Better is a very subjective term when it comes to editing and personal preferences play an important role. In any case on the Mac you have these choices:
    • Buy iLife with iMovie and iDVD (Amazon, Ebay). This should be able to fulfill most needs.
    • Get Adobe CS 6 with Premiere Pro and Encore DVD. Professional software with a learning curve if you come from iMovie
    • Get Final Cut Pro X. Shouldn't be too difficult to learn for iMovie users but with very limited DVD authoring
    Both have trial versions that you can check out. The cost for FCP X is much lower than that for CS 6.
    On a side note, there is also Avid but I can't really say much about it having never used it.

Maybe you are looking for
