I have several .avi movies that I want to burn onto DVD so I cant watch them through my XBOX elite.
What would be the best way to do this without compromising quality? I've tried iDVD but the quality is significantly lowered.
I tried burning some data cds using Nero Burning Rom 6.3.1.25 on my m1710 which has the TS-L632D slim 8x DVD+/-RW and when it's finished burning and i put it back in the drive, the cd appears blank ....
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just got through watching Welcome to Macintosh and Macheads.
Personally I preferred Welcome to Macintosh, it felt a tad bit more solid than Macheads, felt more as a 360 experience, because it actually had a okey reasoning for the film. Macheads, was both funny and annoying at times, and it felt like the movie is glamorizing fanatical behavior. Jeez... its just material products, great ones of course, but they're products.
Is it just me or was Guy Kawasaki seriously off the charts annoying in Welcome to Macintosh?
And then we have that crazy fanatical nerd girl in Machead whom just looked like she was off the reserves mentally.
My favourite mac-centric movie has to be Pirates of Silicon Valley. I remember a couple of years back, when seeing it for the first time, I was blown away. It was such an nostalgic movie, even though I wasn't even born back then, haha, but I had reach so much about the history of the it industry so I was really fascinated with the story, and they simply outdid themselves portraying this story, in my opinion. The acting performances of the ensemble was put simply; great. Later on I found out that the movie was a TV movie, and I just couldn't believe it. Is it just me or did you also get the impression that this was a cinematic movie? I recently watched the DVD, and Noah Wyle was talking of maybe a sequel in the future. Here's to hoping that gets made.
I got my new mac a week or so ago, and i decided to burn some dvd`s the dvd-r disks burned fine i tried a couple of different brands and did a verify.
My problem is with the dvd-rw disks, i have a couple of verbatim 4x and a couple of datawrite 4x used dvd`s not new, but when ever i try to write to these i get verrify errors or writing just stops 3/4 way though the dvd and i am forced to abort the write, i have done this 3-4 times on all dvd`s
I have even tried to do a full format/erase of the dvd-rw but they get to 3/4 and i get an error or the writing just stops.
I now have manged to get all 4 dvd-rw to work perfectly , but i had to burn a movie to them on my panasonic dvd recorder under my tv in my sitting room.
Then when i do a quick erase on the mac and do a dvd copy it works 100% with verification.
I now have all my dvd-rw disk working 100% as far as i can tell.
No matter what songs I burn onto a CD on my macbook pro, the first two tracks are always defective (it won't play on iTunes). On every single bloody CD. It doesn't matter if I change the songs. And once I take it out and put it back in, the computer doesn't even recognize the thing and it just spits it back out. I tried it on my sister's macbook and it still won't play. It won't play on my car stereo. I'm frankly very disappointed.
My laptop's a macbook pro, core 2 duo late 2006-early 2007 version.
I got a film file, and I've made a menu for it on iDVD.
It's a .dvdproj file, and the file is small enough to fit on my 4.7GB DvD-R disc.
I've got it open in iDVD, and I've clicked the little Nuclear icon next to the Preview or PLAY icon. But it keeps saying "There was an Error in Encoding" or something alike when it gets to the end of the Menu burning process.
i cant burn movies from my Itunes onto a dvd, i was thinking that i could either play movies from my laptop and output them to my tv OR, is it possible to output movies from my ipod touch to tv ? so i dont have to lug around my laptop lol, i can just bring my ipod and a cable...
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis ad has been hitting the web today... and I'm sure its gonna poke the fires.... with lines like "I'm not cool enough for a Mac".
However I will have to hand it to MS, this is a much improved advertising campaign compared to the seinfeld/gates thingo last year. And I reckon it will work, esp with the current state of the economy.
The reality is Apple doesn't play in the budget computer market... (just like sony, alienware, voodoo etc), & I don't think there is anyway they can compete in that market successfully. So its always gonna cost more for a Mac.
As it is much more difficult to place a $ value on the less tangible things like personal preference, weight, size & design, the debate will for ever rage over the "value" or "apple tax".
At the end of the day, the most important thing is that people get the computer they want and that it does what they need... doesn't matter if its a pc or mac.
But I doubt this will stop those on either side of the fence from hurling abuse... and to those people let it begin!
- If you own a Unibody Macbook what is the most graphic/cpu intensive thing you have done with it?
- Do you regret buying your Macbook, do you wish you bought the Pro?
- Do you think this laptop will be compatiable wiith Snow Leopard, or will the 9400m intergraded graphics hold it back?
* What is the Vista score for the MB 2.4ghz,
Is the screen on the Macbook unusable for watching movies / dvd's?
Which laptop would be overall better:
Unibody Macbook 2.4ghz or a Dell Studio XPS 1640?
Instead of my originally oredered 1080p RG+B LED, Dell sent me 900p which has max res 1600x900. For everyday work seems OK, since anything higher than that would make icons and everything else to small.
But the question is about DVD movies - if I had gotten 1080p would movies/DVD look better on such display? I don't have HD or Blue Ray drive.
If I hook up Studio 17 via HDMI to a large screen TV (46" LCD), I do get 1080p since the graphics card ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4650 1GB that is built in supports higher res than my Studio 17 monitor.
I'm thinking about returning this laptop, but really not sure what to do about this display. I got a great configuration and the laptop is otherwise really nice. It really comes down only to viewing movies and whether I would get visibly better picture with a better monitor? If so, what are my alternatives? SONY Vaio? Mac?
I am buying a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Intel core 2 P8700 processor rated at 2.53GHZ with 3MB of L2 cache, 4GB DDR2 800MHZ ram, 500GB hard drive rated at 5200RPM, ATI 4330 Radeon HD video card with 256MB of VRAM, and Sound blaster software enabled AUDIO Card.
Also, there are some other stuff like Bluetooth and bluray drive etc etc. It all comes with WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM WITH 64BIT. It has intel GM45 chipset which supports 1066 FSB and it also supports ddr 2 and ddr3....can i upgrade to ddr3 late on since intel states that it supports both? http://www.intel.com/products/notebo...5-overview.htm
Now the question, i m NOT going to play any GAMES on this laptop but i would watch alot of 1080P movies or u could say i would watch bluray movies. Is this laptop going to be sufficient enough to handle all high resolution videos? including YouTube's 1080P videos?....
AGAIN, i m not playing any GAMES on it....should i get this laptop or should i get studio 1558? since i m not playing any games, do u think i m jus gonna waste more money on studio
I want to buy a BD drive for my dell laptop not sure which one to go for?

it freezes to death. Also it it because of the 8600M GT card? Any other options?
I have a HP 2510p with the u7700 at 1.33 and X3100 video card. I have downloaded some HD movies from the internet, I play them all with VLC media player. My laptop has the 120gb 5400rpm hard drive that came with it, most other 2510P's have the 4200rpm drive model. I play the HD movies from the hard drive.
Well my problem is that the HD movie (in 720HD) doesn't play too well on my laptop. Some movies skip alot, they seem to be waiting to load or something like that. I play other movies (around 700-800mb) and it does not do that.
Do current and past 2510p owners ever have this problem with playing HD movies. Is the X3100 video card powerful enough to play 720HD movies or could it just be a driver issue.
Maybe I can upgrade the X3100 drivers, I keep hearing stories about intel drivers.

My DVD Player supports all DVD-R and CD-R formats but will not recognise a disk burned with Vista!! Can you burn Video in WMP?
I know you can burn cd's..just want my dvd-r to play in a normal DVD player or any laptop! Also..looked at burning a disc with Roxio Creater but find it very complicated!
I am trying to burn a few CDs for my girlfriend and I am coming across a few problems.
I have tried burning with Zune software, WMP and a free burner called CDBurnerXP.
Sometimes the CDs will burn fine all the way through, and other times after half way it stops and I get error messages. This has happened with all the programs I have listed.
The error is something along the lines of saying to check if the drive is connected properly or possible driver issues. Can someone direct me to the latest driver for the CD drive?
Anyone else encounter any similar problems when trying to burn CDs?
Forgot to mention this is also happening on my girlfriends laptop, which is also a dv5t...
Does anyone else have a problem with flash videos (Hulu, Youtube) playing the audio at really low levels even when turned all the way up?
Even the windows equalizer only shows the sound being played at quarter volume when the volume is maxed out.
I know the speakers on the E6400 arn't great but if I play mp3s or videos in WMP it is much much louder
I can't play HD movie at 1080p resolution.

Before I started clean installing, I wanted to make sure from you guys that the notebook is capable of playing blueray movies without using MediaSmart software. I dont have a BD disk right now to test if ZoomPlayer or WMP can play these disks or not. But if not, is there any other software that could handle BD playback?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI know iTunes is full of bugs and I'm really starting to get annoyed but this maybe the straw that puts me over the edge to finding an alternative. I've tried 2 different brands of CD's and even one that was a friggin "Sony CD-R". Still when iTunes burns my disks it'll finish like normal and mount the finished product in the sidebar, and upon first inspection it looks fine but when I play through the CD all the ends of my songs are cut off and some skip and then some are just plain not there (towards the end of the disk).
I've looked at the individual song properties and none of them specify a start or end time and I'm at a loss as to what to do. I know CD's aren't expensive but when I only burn like 1-2 a month, and I buy a five pack and it messes them all up that's money I'm just "burning" (pun intended). Could it be a problem with the buffer under-run? In that case it's HW and I'd need to RMA it to Sony... or is there some special tool I can use to see if I can calibrate the drive or something? the drive in QTS is an Optiarc BD-ROM BC-5500S4 with the released firmware update.
I am about to buy a HP G60t for my sister. I would like to know if this laptop comes with a CD/DVD burning program. For example, my old HP Compaq came with Roxio RecordNow!.
While configuring my HP G60t, I get the impression that I have to buy the Cyberlink DVD Suite Premium 6. Obviously, I would like to avoid buying this software if the laptop will already have a similiarly-functioning software installed.
I have searched on HP's website as well as on the internet for answers but all to no avail.
And I would also like to know the same for the HP Pavilion dv6t and dv4t. I plan to buy this for myself.
My laptop is HP Envy m6 Notebook PC(model number: D1E93UAR#ABA). Is this laptop has any software to burn files to disk?
