Re: DropStuff

Hi Lloyd,

There is a free version of Stuffit on their website (have a look  
through version tracker).  Also, if you right click on the folder,  
you can also select to archive to a zip file.

I assume you mean DVD Studio Pro from Apple?

If so their is not much better available for creating DVD's.

Their are tutorials on DVDSP software disc, very handy also a very  
specific manual/help available online and in paperback with package.  
I have included a couple of sites to investigate, also register for  
Apples online seminars if you have a  fast DSL connection.


http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/fcp_homepage_index.html

http://www.lafcpug.org/

Their are many more online, google is your friend also Apples  
Discussion forums for specific program/hardware are also useful.


As for Menus and stuff same as above although one can create the  
actual backgrounds in many programs and even go as far as create the  
menu icons and layout. But, the actions still have to be triggered  
whilst formatting, muxing and burning DVD as well as encoding if not  
done previously.


The process of creating interactive DVD's etc is not a very simple  
task it takes persistence, practice and a thorough understanding of  
what you require or desire (storyboarding). Including working  
knowledge of file formats and mathematical restrictions. Lots of  
reading or attend courses provided and practice. If this is not the  
case then look into hiring professional to produce the required DVD,  
or willing and able too get you up and running with templates?


Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Right mouse click or ctrl + select fiile/folder then select create  
archive  from list that will appear, this then creates a .zip  
file, which is compressed as much as stuffit will do. Now how much  
you can rely on this format will ponder many and varied response from  
others on list.


Works for me.

Be aware that this is a "private" ip address - only accessible from  
within your network.


For others to see the pages you're creating, you'll need a static  
external IP address (or a dynamic DNS domain name).
You'll also need to set up your internet connection (and any  
firewalls/modems) to allow access to your machine on port 80.


This is not trivial, and you may want to consider using your  
ISP's-provided web space (if available)

apache person web server- setting up

[gary dorn]

I am using Mac OS 10.4.1

I want to use the built in Apache Web server to host a page,  so a 
client, who lives in the country ( Boddington way),  can view  some 
documents and save them if they wish.


I could email the documents to them, but they say the flaky services 
they get is very unreliable.


As an experiment, I have been using Pages to create the html pages, 
( initially Appleworks documents opened in Pages then exported to 
HTML) which so far are mostly text.
I have made a couple with pictures etc, but the eventual conversion 
to html by Pages is rather - hmmm  awful.


So far I have set up a a general index page as per the apache 
guidelines, http://192.168.0.2/~dornworks/


but now I am stuck as to what http:// address the various pages 
linked to this index pageare to be


Pages can hyperlink to other pages, which is easy enough to do , but 
I need to work out what the address will be


so my question is
1. is there an apache tutorial anywhere which explains setting up an 
index pages then other pages  for Mac OS X
2. how do I determine the web address for each html page I make, so I 
can link them in the various pages I create


any advice  on these matters would be appreciated.

might even be a good meeting topic?

Re: DVDs

[James Green]

If you use Toast, it will create a menu, and you can alter the titles 
to suit. This will create a very basic menu.
Or you can use iDVD, but I'm not sure if the movie files have to be in 
.DV format. Maybe someone else on the list could clarify. But whatever 
the format, you just drop the movie file onto the iDVD screen and it 
will create a button for it. iDVD has lots of different menu choices 
and these look a lot nicer than Toast's default menu.


Cheers
James

Re: Problem with QuickTime Player 7

[Rob Phillips]

Thanks for all the suggestions.  It seems that QT7 is the *only* 
version which runs with Tiger, and it doesn't work!  There is no 
opportunity to reinstall a newer version. So much for the famous 
Apple software quality and backward compatibility.


I haven't been ale to track down a QT 6 player app yet. I might try 
to install an older version under Classic, and see if that works.


Cheers
Rob


 > Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?


 I have a bunch of QTVR movies that I occasionally demonstrate to
 people.  With my new system install, I now have QT 7.0.  My QTVRs do
 not display in QT 7.0.  The display window is present, but it is
 completely transparent.  I can't reinstall QT6.5, because the
 installer recognises that I have a newer version installed.

 I wish I hadn't had my machine rebuilt!

G'day Rob,
My old QTVRs from 2000 and earlier are all working under QT 7.  Any QTVRs in

Have you tried running the old Quicktime 6 player application?  You can do
that even with QT 7 installed if you run the old QT 6 Player off a different
volume I have read.  Haven't tried it yet myself though.

I haven't tried the QT 6 reinstaller either.





Hi Rob,

Below is an email from Apple's QTVR discussion list. Apparently there are
lots of problems with QT 7.0 and QTVR, and the QT 7.0.1 upgrade doesn't fix
them.

Don't know if this link will help you:

There are reinstallers other than this one on Apple's website.

Cheers,

 I have been following the recent QT7 complaint threads on this list,

 engineers, it would be helpful if someone (or multiple someones) could
 succinctly sum up the exact issues we have with QTVR in QT7, that
 should be raised by those attending the WWDC session.

 Thanks, and hope I can help :)

Here is a rough list along with the place i came across the info:

Patrick Cheatham - QTVR MIAM interactivity non-existant until focus
removed from QT player and refocus - Bug ID# 4104099

Ian Wood - object movie interaction is lost until the movie is 100%
downloaded, both in browsers and in QT Player. In addition, in Safari
1.3 on 10.3.9 you don't even get the first frame and the status bar
goes blank giving you a blank space on the page and no indication that
there is something downloading.

Francis Gorge & Rik Workman - exit/enter fullscreen and close window
not working for VRs
1. CloseThisWindow, EnterFullScreen, ExitFullScreen don't work. I think
these all use SendAppMessage under the covers, so it's probably just
one bug.
2. Our sound volume controller no longer works - it uses SetVolumeTo.

Several people - qtl's not working

Several people - flash/sprite buttons not working in MIAMs

Rik's list -
1. ( Bug ID# 4106665) A child movie whose audio is slaved to it's
parent doesn't change volume in response to parent's volume control. (I
referred to this in an earlier post as an issue with the SetVolumeTo
action, which was incorrect.)

2. (Bug ID# 4108263) Using the SendAppMessage wired action in a VR
controller movie to close a window or Enter/Exit Full Screen  no longer
works in QT7. As best I can tell, this is the same problem Francis
Gorge described in an earlier post regarding closethiswindow. Although
you'd probably only use this with skinned movies, it doesn't require a
skin track to make it fail; just a VR.

3. (Bug ID# 4108248.) The ability to write to a text track in an
external movie when using the VR controller does not work. Removing the
VR tracks fixes the problem.

4. (Bug ID# 4108276) The VR cursor while the mouse is down is unchanged
from when the mouse button was depressed. Specifically, no arrow
cursors indicating motion and no hotspot cursors appear when motion
takes the cursor over hotspots.

5. (Bug ID# 4108269) Unable to change Controller type in VR movies in
QT7 Pro. It's necessary to change the movie controller for VR movies to
enable many of the track editing operations. This was useful in
previous versions of QT Pro for adding functionality to VR's, e.g.,
sound tracks.

6. (Bug ID# 4108272) Unlike previous versions of QT, the non-Pro
version of QT7 doesn't allow a wired action to cause the host movie to
be displayed fullscreen. This functionality is enabled in QT7 Pro.

1) (Bug ID# 4104099) When loading a Movie URL directly in QT Playe
