Where is the best tutorial for Compressor 4

Please can anyone tell me where a novice would look to learn how to use Compressor 4 to burn a DVD with several short films and a menu?

Hard to say what is the best without trying all of them – and I haven't. Most offer a free preview or two.. do a search and survey their previews to compare.
Lynda.com has a month-to-month subscription plan for $25. They offer a huge selection of courses across a wide variety of subjects, including several versions of Compressor and DVD authoring programs.
Ripple Training specializes in multi-media and has a Compressor tutorial for $30.
Larry Jordan also focuses on editorial and offers monthly subscriptions for $20. He has a Compressor tutorial plus short movies on specific techniques for $5.(He is also featured on a number of older tutorials at Lynda.com.
There are lots of others and I'm sure that many of them are excellent.
But here's the problem. Apple no long makes or supports the DVD authoring part of the workflow. So you either have to get a boxed edition of iLife, or you need to use a third party app like Roxio Toast.
The disk burning capabilities of Compressor are great for a simple DVD. But they're really not for the kind of project you describe. (There are work-around's that can get multiple movies on a disk but it's not very satisfactory,
Finally, take a look at the Compressor user manual – at least the first two chapters to familiarize yourself with the basics. It's well-written and is a great resource.
Good luck.

    I often wish when I select a word to right click and choose dictionary to to find out the meaning of the word. Currently I have to copy, go to a dictionary web page, paste and search. And I spent a lot of time for that. I'm not that technically oriented to suggest how this can be achieved but just as an idea, may be Mozilla can partner with dictionary web sites by making a plug ins or include a dictionary with Firefox itself

    I am sure there are Extensions that do this.

    Is this a trick question? N-Gage games are only available from www.n-gage.com
    Are you talking about other non n-gage games such as java based games? if so try www.gameloft.com or google.
    If you are looking to play retro games then this article will be of interest to you.

  • What is the best tutorial for moving a LR 2.5 catalog?

    I have used up all of the space on my hard drive so I need to move my LR2 catalog to my Western Digital external hard drive.  I know this can be a very sensitive process to move a catalog so I was wondering what you thought would be the best list of instructions to use?  I have the Scott Kelby for LR too.
    If you could share your favorite line, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Do you want to move the catalog or the pictures? It's not the same.
    There's no point to move the catalog - it doesn't take that much space. I doubt you have a hard drive smaller some 200 GB or so.
    If you want to move the pictures, there's not need for tutorial - that's not that hard. Move the pictures folder in Explorer/Finder. When you open Lightroom, all your files and folders will be reported as missing. Go to Library, Folders panel, right-click the top-level folder and choose Find Missing Folder. If you have more than one top-level folder, do this for each of them.

  • Where's the Best Source for a PB G4 15" Battery?

    I read the Apple Discussions Terms of Use and did a search for specific battery recommendations and I'm shocked to see the dearth of info! At first I wondered if it was against Apple policy to post links to third party hardware, but I didn't see that in the TOS. If that's the case, please pardon the question, delete the post and I'll take the hint...
    Otherwise, "Where do you all buy batteries from?" I've read of the abysmal performance of the OEM units for $129.00. I've searched all over the Internet, and found a few that claim 4800MAh performance with prices from $75 up to $130 and beyond. Usually, a forum search would bring up a dozen posts with folks arguing the virtues of Brand X over Brand Y, with links to different e-tailers who carry them. Am I searching the wrong forums, or what? (Insert majorly confused icon here.)

    I understand the gist of what he wrote. BTI lists their replacement as 11.1V and 5000mAh (Product ID: MC-G4/A15):
    http://www.bti-store.com/productview.asp?pid=MC-G4/A15. That same model is listed as 11.1 and 4800mAh at one of their reseller's:
    http://www.provantage.com/battery-technology-mc-g4-a15~7BATB034.htm
    NewerTechnology lists theirs as 11.1V and 5000 mAh (Model# AL15)
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP15AL50RS/
    ...while others use a 10.8V standard to get their mAh rating:

    http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=617
    The G4 needs 10.8VDC to operate, but the battery is composed of 6 cells that are 3.7V each:
    http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=279&page=3
    Those cells are configured in 3 pairs, so they total 11.1VDC. Both voltage standards are accurate, but using 10.8V can yield a higher Watt hours rating.

  • Where is the best place for EXS samples?

    I finally upgraded from my G4 which had space issues. Now I'm wondering: Should EXS samples be on the boot drive or the media drive? How about Reason refill, RMX samples etc.?
    Thanks in advance!

    We know that the iPad only connects using wireless but don't know whether you plan to connect the iMac and/or the MacBook Pro using wireless as well.
    If yes, the ideal spot for the Time Capsule would be a central location so that wireless devices would all be about the same distance from the Time Capsule.
    Think of a wheel with a hub and spokes.  The Time Capsule would be the "hub". Each wireless device would be located at end of a separate "spoke".
    If that won't work, Apple does offer devcices like the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme that can "extend" the wireless signal for greater coverage.

  • Where's the best place for a script to store data? CS4

    Hi,
    I'm writing a script that needs to store some data in each document that it's run in (I would like the user to be able to store default preferences for the script).
    I've thought of getting the script to create a master page + text frame with data. But is there anywhere better and perhaps less visible?
    Thanks,
    Ariel

    Hey!
    Well, if you use 'app.activeDocument.insertLabel()' then it's stored with document, even after restart, but document must be saved.
    If you use 'app.insertLabel()' then it's automaticaly stored, and can be used even after restart.
    Great way to use it for script settings.

  • Where's the best location for the catalog file?

    To ensure Lightroom operates as efficiently and smoothly as possible, is there a best place to store catalog files?  Should they be with their projects or kept centrally on the main system drive?

    If you have a read of this article it will give you a good understanding on how the catalog works.

  • Where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable.

    where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

    What is the best Computer for HD video editing where can I get it under $3000- $5000.00?

    The wording of your question suggests you may be new to video editing, in which case the types of projects you will be doing may not be the most complex.
    Please accept my apology if that assumption is incorrect.
    The cheapest computer available will edit 1080p video perfectly well but if you must have the "best" you will be looking at nothing less than a MacPro.
    Too many people get hung up about the equipment they use  and blame it for any inadequacies  .  .  .  when the most important component is the operator.
