What software am I looking for?

Hello all, first time posting here.
I have some very specific needs when it comes to organizing and using my videos and I'm having a hard time trying to learn the basics of video making AND finding a software that is simple to use and does the job.
Basically I need a software (or more than one?) that does the following:
- Copies segments of DVD movies (not necessairly chapters) - allowing me to specify starting and ending time. I need it to copy the segment with subtitles, if possible. (I'm an ESL teacher in Brazil and I use my powerbook in class, but nothing is more annoying than having to carry my DVDs, go through thousands of menus and still have to forward to a specific scene to show my students)
- Allows me to put these segments that I've extracted into one single file
- Convert files to a format that most DVD players can read (the ones at my school seem to struggle with MPG4 - I use EasyWMV)
My Powerbook does not have a DVD burner, bad decision making when I bought it...
Can anyone suggest any software?
Cheers,
Lily

Hi lilylu,

I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.
I'm not much at decoding kernel panic logs, but this line jumps out:

Did you have a DVD movie in the drive at the time? DVD movie disks are UDF format, but not much else is.

Hello agentlesley,
It sounds like your backup is encrypted. If you do not know that password, then you would have to set up your iPhone as a new device.

I've lost my contacts. What file do I look for in my TM backups?

I've lost my contacts. I think it happened when I was exploring iCloud. What file do I look for in my TM backups?

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Quit the Contacts application if it's running. Restore the selected item from a backup.

What software do you reccomend for resizing images for web ?

I am looking for some software to help resize images on my mac to post online eg 470x 707 at 72 dpi (something similar to Faststone for PC would be good ) >Any recomendations?

72 dpi doesn't mean anything in terms of video and 470 x 707 is a rather peculiar size, what is the source of the video and what exactly are you trying to achieve.

What software would you recommend for an HP Z230 Workstation?

I just purchased a new Hewlett Packard Z230 Workstation with the intent to catch up on a big backlog (hundreds of hours) of family videos I want to clean up and edit. This computer is configured as follows:
Intel I7 4770 Quad Core running 3.4 GHz (showing 8 processors in control panel/system/processor)
16 GB ram
256 GB solid state C: drive
3 TB 7,200 rpm D: Drive
nVidia Quadro K2000 video card with 2 GB video ram
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
When I bought this, I planned on using Cyberlink PowerDirector because they advertised it to run well with the features on this computer. I downloaded a trial version of Power Director, and it met my functional needs. But it locked up three times in an hour. When I wrote Cyberlink, they asked for information like the DxDiag.txt file that describes my computer, and the Windows Event logs of the lockups. Their response was BAFFLING, because they said they design their software for "consumer level platforms," and since they don't test their software on "workstations," they cannot recommend my using it on the Z230.
That said, I'm now looking for alternate software. I've used Pinnacle a lot in the past, but it has changed so much from the version I used, I'm not wed to any brand at this point. In addition to usual editing capability, I want to verify that the software I buy has some specific capabilities I need:
-- Ability to crop video clips and expand the remaining cropped scene back to 16:9 (because I have some incroachment in some video clips from the lens hood of a camera).
-- Ability to normalize audio levels for different clips (some too loud or too quiet) before producing the video.
-- Desired, not required: Ability to burn BluRay or DVD on a separate computer than the one where I am editing.
Most, if not all, editing software has these abilities now (PowerDirector and Pinnacle do), so this shouldn't be a problem, but I just want to check.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry Quinn

Jim,
Thanks for the recommendations.
You'll get a kick out of this. I started with a Betamovie in 1984, switched to Hi8 in 1993, and D8 in 2005. My initial editing was from one beta VCR to another one. Then I bought a good Sony TR101 Hi8 camcorder, and soon bought a $1,300 EV-S3000 Sony Hi8 VCR that connected to the TR101 by wire, which gave some syncronization of the linear edits (about plus or minus 3 frames when it was happy). In 2004 I bought a powerful (for then) computer and Pinacle Studio 9, which with some upgrades is still what I've edited with until now. Some of all three formats of video have been digitized (or downloaded from the D8) as .avi using various hardware. I expect to complete all of that as .avi.
I've just bought a new Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder (very nice) that produces files in .m2ts, which I think is AVCHD. As you can probably tell from my history, that may prove to be my last camcorder purchase and format change. I have no plans now to shoot 4k.
I checked, and I've overstated the number of hours of video I have left to do. I recorded just under 200 hours total in all three formats. 45 hours of that (the Beta) are fully edited, and about 22 hours of the Hi8 are finished. So I'm looking at about 130 hours of video I still need to edit, plus whatever I shoot in HD going forward.
I appreciate what you say about stability. I fought that with Pinacle 9, and frankly didn't change from that because I finally got it to run stably doing what I did for years. (However recently it has started behaving badly again, which is another reason I'm upgrading).
The Quardro came with the HP computer. The Quadro and GeForce both are spec'd on nVidia's website, and I assumed that since its specs were higher than the GeForce and "matched" Cyberlink's specs for OpenCL, I would be better with the Quadro than the GeForce. From what I'm hearing here and your recomendation, it sounds like I should sell the Quadro on Ebay and buy a GeForce. In case I still might end up with Cyberlink, I'll run the card model you suggested by them and see if they "bless" it.
I know the HP computer supports RAID, because I've seen that come up during boot-up. I always thought RAID was only about reliable backup. Are you suggesting that if I put a second 3 TB hard drive in my computer, and somehow tie it into RAID, that will improve performance, too?

Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers. Purchased movies show up just fine. What to do or look for?

I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2. I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer. However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv. I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies.
What do I look for? What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

Answer to my own question:
Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac. This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
Finally, it showed up on my apple tv. Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

How can I find out specifically what plugins are missing? Am told missing, then plugin finder tells me no suitable found, I would look for them myself but have no way to find out what exactly need to look for.

I go into a wiki created by my employer, and get the bar at top of page almost immediately telling me there are plugins needed. I click the button offered for finding plugins, and almost immediately am told no suitable plugins are found. Plugin help offered is useless, because I have no idea what plugins I need to look for. How can I find out what plugins are being detected as "missing"?

If there is no LR edits to keep, or if you don't want to keep the existing edits, you could delete the files from LR and import them again.
Since the file names on disk and file names in LR don't match, you will need to manually match them up by hand individually, if you want to keep the existing LR edits.
The easiest approach to this -- without doing any script programming -- is to go into each directory, one at a time:
Select the correct folder in the "folders" pane. Right-click "show parent" as necessary to see the directory tree.
Sort the LR Library by creation date.
Using the details view in File Explorer, sort the files by creation date (add to the viewed columns if necessary).
Assuming no more than 1 image per second, the files should line up.

Software Update not looking for updates

I have software update enabled to check daily for any updates, I logged in yesterday and today, knowing that updates were available, however my iMac did not seem to be looking for any updates. I manually checked and updates were available on both days. Is this an OS X problem, or does it take a while for OS X to check for updates once logged in.. The only change that has occurred in the past week has been a 50% speed reduction in my broadband service. Current speed around 2.5MB.

I just got my MacBook Pro and ran Software Update first thing. It said I was all up to date. I then downloaded iWork '08. When I tried to install iWork it said I needed OS X 10.4.10. I checked my about mac and sure enough I am running 10.4.9. My Quicktime is also 7.1.5. Why would software update tell me I'm all up to date if I have this older software on my computer. This thing has only been out of the box a few hours and I have installed exactly nothing on it. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

What software do I need for my 30 GB Zen Vision

Basically my problem is that I'm away from my home computer and?I want to transfer music into my Zen from this computer. However, I lack the original software that came with the Zen. I need to know what software or drivers I need to install to make it work.

Well, that's not all I have to do. I have to be able to create and?edit playlists besides just adding music, and manually doing that is incredibly inconvenient. I tried downloading Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38?to be able to make it work, but I plugged in my ZV:M several times and the software gave me an error saying that my player wasn't connected to the computer.

What filename is Bootcamp looking for when it searches for Windows installer?

I purchased a download file of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 which when downloaded has the filename X15-65733.iso. When opened it provides a diskimage called GRMCHPXFRER_EN_DVD on which are the files and folders for the Windows 7 installation:
autorun.inf
boot
bootmgr
bootmgr.efi
efi
setup.exe
sources
support
upgrade
However the Bootcamp Assistant does not recognize the X15-65733.iso or the GRMCHPXFRER_EN_DVD disk image as the Windows installer. Do I have to rename one of these to something that the Bootcamp Assistant is looking for?

I had to burn the file X15-65733.iso onto a CD in order for my iMac to find it. I had been trying to install from a flash drive (memmory stick)
