Best DVD Menu Creation Software


what consensus on powerful dvd authoring applications available today? want able play intro sequence before main menu shows. asking users on forum think out of chosen applications in this list top 10 reviews , wanted opinion. sony dvd architect studio sounds pretty want make sure has features need. roxio looks solid well, i'm leaning toward roxio @ point.
 

i have hardly heard of applications, ever.
prefer dvd studio pro, allow want. since part of final cut studio, might hard , still bit expensive.

if 1 time deal , can in less 30 days, @ 30-day trial of adobe encore, professional optical disc authoring application, though bit complicated , overwhelming. capable of want do.

dvd studio pro nicer , bit easier though.

Installing Lion. Internet Recovery? Thumb drive?


hi!

have installed 10.7.3 10.6.8 adn runs fine, think there small down in performance.

should clean install lion? it's better way install it? want skip things flasback trojan...

anyway, 1 best way clean install? create install disk or usb, or internet recovery install?

can me?
 

many have reported lion uses more resources sl, may account decrease in performance. don't think should need reinstall lion. may help: performance tips mac os x
macs not immune malware, no true viruses exist in wild can run on mac os x, , there never have been since released on 10 years ago. malware in wild can affect mac os x handful of trojans, can avoided practicing safe computing (see below). also, mac os x snow leopard , lion have anti-malware protection built in, further reducing need 3rd party antivirus apps.
  1. make sure built-in mac firewall enabled in system preferences > security > firewall

  2. uncheck "open "safe" files after downloading" in safari > preferences > general

  3. uncheck "enable java" in safari > preferences > security. leave unchecked until visit trusted site requires java, re-enable visit site. (this not confused javascript, should leave enabled.)

  4. check dns settings reading this.

  5. be careful install software trusted, reputable sites. never install pirated software. if you're not sure app, ask in forum before installing.

  6. never let else have access install on mac.

  7. don't open files receive unknown or untrusted sources.

  8. make sure network, email, financial , other important passwords complex, including upper , lower case letters, numbers , special characters.

  9. always keep mac , application software updated. use software update mac software. other software, it's safer updates developer's site or menu item "check updates", rather installing notification window pops while you're surfing web.
that's need keep mac free of virus, trojan, spyware, keylogger, or other malware. don't need 3rd party software keep mac secure.

Apple overcharging for the iPhone?


why apple charging $750 iphone when new ipad + 4g costs $630?

based on quick calculations based on price of ipod touch (which iphone without phone part), , price of ipad 4g (which ipad with phone part), iphone 4 $220 more expensive should be, , iphone 4s $420 more expensive should be!

price discrepancy seems supported isuppli teardown component estimate of iphone 4s, $188, , new ipad + 4g, $364 (double of iphone 4s).

if conclude apple unnecessarily overcharging on iphone, theories why? or "because can"?
 

what r&d, software development, labor, etc ...

"cost breakdowns" don't account of that.

Iphone 4 will not recognize US Sim cards?


i bought used iphone 4, , not recognize sim cards. apparently used in mexico (found out after purchase) , im being told needs original sim in order me able use it? doesnt make sense me. im pretty sure phone locked at&t, there sort of lock on international use or something? appreciated.
 

its not locked at&t. if you'd able activate at&t sim.
, no, at&t doesnt put locks on phones international use only.
guess iphone locked mexican carrier or maybe carrier outside us.
if had sim original carrier locked able activate , homescreen.
still wouldnt able unlock , wont recognize or accept other sims carrier locked to.
either way @ lost cause.

New computer advice


i have new mac itch , buying new computer after line refreshed (hopefully redesign).

do/will computer:

-adobe cs5.5
-imovie , starting on final cut
-light garageband , learning logic
-several autodesk
-3d modeling

i'm recent design school grad. need serious while portable. of serious work @ desk @ home. may change in future though.

have:

-mid '11 2.7 i5 27" imac
-27" cinema display
-ipad 16 gb

i'm debating between going few different ways...

keep imac , macbook air complement can used cinema display @ times

sell imac , loaded 15" mbp , use cinema display @ home (any real advantage upgrading tb?)

sell imac , base mac pro upgraded gaphics load myself ssd , 16+ gb ram. use cinema display. continue using ipad portable needs.

find lion makes having 2 displays less useful , 1 27" screen seems enough.

advice or other suggestions welcome.

UN report on drug problems in UK?


i think it's more widescale un can ever know.

brits don't care drugs. talk night group of people social issues , drugs might never come up. , if come up, might cheeky reference personal use youth.

other thing coke used white collars , in media/entertainment. takes taboo of somewhat. remember random sweep in parliament years ago found traces of coke on toilet cisterns (basically mps goin' in line every , again).

rate binge drinking , drink related crime, teenage pregnancy rates , gps handing out anti-psychotic meds more worthwhile causes (for uk) illegal drugs. cannabis.. wish they'd lay off bit.

Partition list is broken


he everybody,

title should read "partition list small".

have 3 tb seagate usb hard drive connected imac. has library of normal (so .avi, .mov etc) , mkv videos on it. have hard drive since few weeks. use ps3 media server stream playstation 3.

since yesterday stops playing files after time. when go in folder shows file broken. trying other videos, broken well.

anyway, apparently, drive disconnected imac (when went go check settings in pms, first thing saw on screen disconnected drive in "bad" way, message when when disconnect drive without ejecting in mac os x).

might understand, did not disconnect drive. went check hard drive using disk utility. when check partition on it, there's nothing wrong. however, when check disk says "partition division (this translated, guess it's "the partition list") needs restored because problem occurred system file efi-system partition".

basically, think message problem. pushing "restore disk" button did help. says efi partition list small , still needs restored. pressing "restore disk" button doesn't help. how make partition list correct?

know transfer files other drives (which hassle, because don't have 1 tb free on of hard drives, have scramble files on hard drives, , later put them , remove them), i'd rather not.

@ moment i'm doing deep scan data rescue (some website said help). however, how can rebuild list afterwards? list need rebuild or else?

checked website: http://www.andreas-hess.info/programming/testdisk/index.html

couldn't figure out (i'm not terminal hero) how program restore partition list.

great.

p.s. hard drive has guid-partition table.
partition created on mac os extended (journaled). nothing wrong.

Is This the Right Way to Undo My iTunes Match Mess?


backstory
on years we've purchased lot of music itunes on wife's account (we'll call wife@me.com) apps iphone.

got ipad , purchased lot of apps ipad using husband@me.com.

bought itunes match subscription using wife's itunes account, wife@me.com on our home computer.

problem
want share of our music , our apps between our devices can't b/c we're using 2 different itunes accounts.

solution - right way?
going stop using wife@me.com account altogether. start using husband@me.com future itunes purchases.

lose access music purchased wife@me.com itunes account?

should match account? @ point, i'm inclined right off $25 , start on husband@me.com itunes match subscription. lose if that?
 

yes, can't combine them.

2: griffin elevator (i simplicity, since you're putting 2 pieces of aluminum in holder, don't how it's tilted.)

KernalTask


hi there.

i'm new here. hoping me.

have macbook pro, details are:
lion 10.7.2, 2 ghz intel core i7, 4 gb 1333 mhz ddr3 etc.
i'm using boot camp run 64bit windows 7 on partitioned 500gb (250/250) hard drive.

have next no documents or files on mac, while i'm typing little freezes or pauses , "rainbow pinwheel thing" appears 2-3 seconds , i've typed doesn't appear, when pinwheel goes being mouse pointer, text i've typed catches itself.
plain annoying , seems happen often. whilst writing this.
thing while freezes/pauses few seconds, music on itunes stops while in state, starts playing again when catches itself...

i'm bit rubbish @ explaining it, hope rough idea.

tips great, i'm stumped.... of thought lack or memory/slow disk or something, can't see reasoning it.

forwards replies.
 

looks program consuming of resources. given mbp specs, should not running trouble mac applications.

see going on, recommend opening terminal , running "top" command. should show processes running , taking cpu. please tell if can see problems on it.

Color Problem - White is multihued in various areas, rose, green, brown, etc etc


so don't have real yellow hue, noticing different problem want know if others seeing.

when viewing white screen, webpage or page of ebook, "white" parts sort of various hues. sort of greenish @ top, rose @ bottom. maybe tan areas. point is, though it's barely noticable, it's not white. , it's bothering me.

when compared ipad 2, difference drastic , clear. ipad 2 uniform, hueless white.

question - nature of new display, , on it? have 2 "new ipads", both of have exact same symptom. it's not yellow screen, it's sort of rainbow effect. right side sorta light green, , left sorta light red. barely noticeable.

being picky, or there actual white ipads out there, , didn't 1 (two).

attached photo/sample shows pretty clear. know eyedropper samples extremely subtle - it's totally noticeable , if that's how is, have return until it's fixed... or , need accept it?
 

attached files:

maybe book adds shadows. try finding solid white background.
