A new 250GB drive is less than $50 with shipping included. A 1TB drive can be had for less than $100!!
I don’t advocate this for a security standpoint, but rather just performance boost. If a drive is going to fail, its going to fail. Doesn’t matter if its your “system” drive by itself or with a bunch of media on it too.
Separate drives are used for performance. Backup copies are for “safety”.

I don’t see any support for Apple products for that card.

[Craig Seeman] The “turn it up to 11” approach is not always best for efficient compression.
Definitely agreed. However, I didn’t assume efficiency, but rather absolute best quality.
[Craig Seeman] Simply upload at the source frame rate.
I tried to qualify this one better by saying that “I like to” convert to 24fps. I shoot 1080i and 480i for the most part. So converting is advantageous in my situation.

I can’t think of anyway to get compressor to do this, but may have another option.
Take your video into compressor and make an appropriate .m2v file for DVDSP. Take the file into DVDSP and format/write the file to HDD. In the VIDEO_TS folder will be a .VOB file that will contain both MPEG video and AC3 audio muxed. Some software (such a VLC) and hardware PVRs will playback the .VOB files. (When you single click the file on your mac, you’ll get a Quicktime preview window which will play the video ONLY, no audio.)

Never use a specific data rate if you want the very best quality possible! You are limited by YouTube to a 10 min length and 2GB file. Use your math skills to maximize your data rate (don’t forget to leave some headroom for the audio). Now when YouTube does the second pass, you have as much data as possible there, so hopefully it won’t throw away “the good stuff”.
ps – I like to convert frame rate to 24fps. It takes more time to render, but it frees up 6 frames per second of data and I can allocate that extra data to the other frames. (fewer frames, but higher quality frames)

Option 1: Make a pdf that has fillable blanks they can complete with Acrobat.
Option 2: Make a pdf that has empty boxes for the variable data. Then they can import image into Word? to type in the information they want there.

I would make the text frame first (before importing the data), and place dummy data so you get an idea of layout.
John Doe 555-1234
Jane Doe 555-4321Then apply the font, style, size, etc…to get it the way you like. Then import data to the Data Merge window. Highlight the name (“John Doe”) in the document and then double-click the corresponding data name in the Data Merge window. Then repeat for each of the number of names you have. After that do the same for the other data (address, phone number, etc.)
Personally, I don’t think this is the ideal solution or situation in which to use InDesign. From what I gather in your post, Microsoft Excel would be better.

We had this same problem with CS2, but after we upgraded to CS3 it worked fine. I don’t think that there are any preferences or options to make this happen. It must be some way that the data is conveyed to the RIP. With CS2, I had always assumed it was the RIPs problem (since it is an older software version). Sorry I don’t have the answer, but an Adobe tech may be able to help over on their forums.

Ask the business that will be printing the shirts what are the requirements!
