There is at least one way on each operating system (windows and mac) to rip your own dvds and then transfer them to itunes and finally put them on your ipod. A mac is the easiest of the two ways. If you have a mac, then you download a program off of the web called handbrake (just "google" >handbrake rip dvds< and its homepage should pop up or try <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://handbrake.m0k.org). Handbrake allows you to copy and convert your dvds to ipod format. On a windows operating system the most effective way i have found to rip my dvds is quicktime pro($25-$35). You can buy it at quicktime's website. It basically does the same thing as handbrake. I, myself, have simply converted some videos, like sports shows and commercials, to ipod format using itunes and both the video and audio worked fine.
if you have any ?'s just reply back
I hope this helps!

Whats the best bitrate for VIDEO converting?

I'm trying to convert video files to fill WIDE screen 320 width X 240 height.
The default bitrate is 384. Should I make it higher or is this the best quality bitrate?
And for the frames it has 18 by default. Does anyone know also if that's good or could be highter?
Thanks!

Please note that higher bitrate and higher frame/per second - will affect on performance.
Use settings that produce media that will play on your device model smoothly.
For the first step - try default settings. And after that - combine and check. Which settings are most suitable for
your device.

What is the best, safest MXF video converter for mac?

I need to view MXF video files on my macbook pro. Wondering if anyone knows what is the best video converter to use for these files?

Hi, I just got one recommended to you. It is iOrgSoft Video Mate. It can convert camcorder footages like MXF, AVCHD, MTS, XAVC, MOD, etc to regular video formats like MP4, MOV, 3GP, etc. I usually it to convert AVCHD files from my Sony cam. I think it works fine for me. You can have a try using it to convert MXF files.

The Best DVD ripping/burning/converting software

I have herd alot about this Mac the Ripper deal but am having real trouble laying my hands on it. Is there perhaps other software that may allow me to Rip/Burn/Convert at my leisure, or will I have to resort to boot camp and Alcohol 120%? Thanks y'all

I certainly hope you're ripping your own DVD's, and not those belonging to, say, your friend, NetFlix, or your local video store.
Anyway, I very highly recommend using HandBrake to convert the DVD video into something more suitable. Just pop in the disc and play with the settings. It comes pre-loaded with presets for creating video for the iPod, tv, and PlayStation 3. (An XBox 360 preset is in the works.)
I personally recommend AVC/H.264 video (set to constant quality: 64%) with AAC 5.1 sound (set to 384 Kbps). It's a slow encoding process, but you'll be impressed with the output -- more so if your Mac is hooked up to an HDTV and home theater system.
If your legally-purchased DVD has encryption that HandBrake can't handle, then download MacTheRipper, and use that to extract a clean VIDEO_TS folder; then point HandBrake to the VIDEO_TS folder.

The best free mac video converter for iphone please?

So far i used to add my avi files to my itunes library on my mac using movie2itunes. then i would right click on the movies and choose 'create iphone version'. i was expecting the video size to go down as the resolution and screen size of the iphone is much smaller compared to the resolution of the original avi file and the screen size of my macbook. so for all reasons it had to encode lesser data into the new file. instead, it keeps the same resolution! and while the original size is a mere 300mbs for 60 minutes of videos the new encoded file is a 550 mbs!
so i think using itunes for video conversion is not a very smart way of utilizing space on the iphone. can u recommend me some good, preferably free, video conversion software for mac which is smart enough to convert movies (especially avi) to iphone format and also NOT increase the size, if not decrease it!
google gives a lot of results. so thought making a post would help me narrow it down. thankyou.
i have perian installed and also quick time pro.

Mpeg Streamclip is nice because of options and its free, but I would use iSquint. Its FREE and it converts in very nice quality, with basic options. Trust me it will cover your converting needs. But if you wanna download vids from Youtube and stuff, I would use mpeg streamclip too. Both together are a nice converint combo. I hope I helped:)?

OK WHATS THE BEST MOTHERBOARD AND CPU FOR ONLINE GAMING

Here i go again thinking about stepping up on motherboaerds and cpus! If you have an opinion on which would make the best online gaming setup let me here you hollor! I will only go with intel so all amd lovers dont bother!

He's better off with a Q6600 over the E6850, because you can clock the Q6600 to QX6850 speeds and it's quad core, so future proof anyway.
And the Q6600 costs less.
However the CPU will be very limited by that 7900GT.
A 8800GTX or HD2900XT would be a better choice.
EDIT: Get a G0 stepping Q6600, they have a lower TDP of 95w and require less voltage.

Whats the best Hi Def video camera right now

I am looking at the Cannon HV20 and the Panansonic HDC-SD1. Does anyone have any opinions?

I have to disagree. Go with the Panasonic.
The quality of the lens glass is better. Absolutely. Good glass is critical and Panasonic has that better than anyone else. They hold focus and clarity trhought the zoom better than all competitor's. Canon lenses are not a strong point. Sony would be second best.
I also like the 3CCD tech save for the bigger CMOS sensors. I find its colours more true and the light cast quite even across the frame at all zoom steps.
If you were talking pro level production stuff, then yes, the Canon. They put a huge effort into being top dog at those price points. But you're not looking that that level of product. Canon rides its rep too far into the lower end of the market and if you look at the actual component quality it doesn't always measure up. The Panasonic PV-GS150/240 and especially the 400 proved that other companies than Sony and Canon could make excellent, if not superior products.
I would agree that one should stick to DV tapes or if looking to the new go for SD. DD cams and probably HDD cams are interim solutions in the overall market as tape (for durability and as a proven medium across the industry) and SD cards (entrenched, increasingly affordable, and versatile) are the technologies with legs.

Whats the best/fastest format to convert avchd to, for edit purposes?

Whats best format to convert 1920/1080 avchd to, for editing purposes?
I tryed converting to HDV but didnt like the quality. I then tryed to convert the raw avchd files to mpeg2 @ 35 mbps. That is much cleaner but renders slow...about 1-1 ratio.
Looking for a codec that is fast to convert to & clean.
I have aPC, Win 7, 6 core, 32 gig ram,Raid 0, fast cuda card ect...

AVCHD has the same data rate as DV, so shuttling that fast will not be a disk problem, even from a single drive, let alone a RAID 0. If it stutters, it's a CPU thing.
Conversion to any other format is going to expand the data rate significantly, requiring your RAID to work harder. Though the CPU will likely work less, so that could fix the stuttering.
You can always add all the clips to a sequence, and then add that sequence to the Source Monitor for editing as if it were one long clip.
Having said all that, if you still feel the need to convert then I recommend the free and lossless UT codec. You can export out the combined clips right from PP, and the new media will not suffer any quality loss due to conversion.

What the best table design for item and it's serials ?

I have Item's Table that hold Items meta data
what the solution in the case that i bought 500 Item (Ex: Hard Disk) within different serial no for each item
when i save this serials will be in one to many ...
when i think in this solution i found that the table have serial no will be in 2 months about 500,000 record
is that best case or there is another solution ?
another one ,
If i have item with multiple colors
best case to save every item with its color as one item (item_ID,Item_name ,Item_color,....)
or save item in table and colors in table ... and create table to obtain many to many relationship

1. I don't think there is any problem in having 1:N relation between ITEM and SERIAL table. That is how relational database works.
2. I will recomend you to use 1:N rather than N:M. For DML operation 1:N has minimum impact when compare to N:M. For instance if the item color field is added in the serial number table, i may need to update multiple rows however if i add the color code
field in item table then i may need to update or insert only one row.
------------------ RECOMENDATION
ITEM
ITEM_ID int (PK)
ITEM_NAME VARCHAR(50)
ITEM_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(100)
ITEM_TYPE VARCHAR(10)
ITEM_CATEGORY VARCHAR(10)
ITEM_COLOR VARCHAR(10)
SERIAL
ITEM_ID INT (FK)
SERIAL_NUM VARCHAR(20) (UNIQUE)

Best DVD to iPod Converter

I just got a New iPod video and I was looking for some advice for the best DVD to iPod Converter. The two programs that I have been looking at are
1.) Super DVD to iPod Converter and
2.) PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter
Both of them run around $30 and boast that they are the fastest. Anyone have any input?

Well, I'll disagree. I've used quite a few and to me, PQ DVD is by far the best. It records all DVD's, not just ones that aren't encrypted. All of them are slow, pretty much 1:1 when doing a movie. Meaning, if your video is a hour long, it's going to take an hour to do it. I just start it before I go to bed. I don't really know why support is needed- it is an extremely simple program to use. Personally, the how long have they been around thing doesn't mean a hill of beans to me. It works, it's simple, and affordable.

What is the best mac software to convert vcd to dvd

what is the best mac software to convert vcd to dvd

There is no best per se. All converter software does the same thing.....convert files.
Some are very user friendly, high tech or simple to use. You will need to read the reviews of the ones that interest you the most.
I personally use several.....VidConvert, Voltaic, Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate.

Whats the best settings to rip DVD to Mpeg Streamclip for use in FCE??

Hi there.
Ok, I using MPEG Streamclip to rip a DVD for editing on FCE.
Whats the best settings to get it to my hard drive?
MPEG4?? Compression rate??
Chris

Assuming your DVD plays widescreen, the better settings in MPEG Streamclip would be:
Export to QuickTime
Compression = Apple Intermediate Codec
Frame size = 1920x1080
Pretty much everything else should remain at default settings.
Keep in mind that if you have an NTSC DVD, the resulting QT/AIC video will be 60i.
In FCE, select the AVCHD 1920x1080i60 easy setup, create a new sequence, import the converted file and edit away. The quality should be very nice.

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.
