Page 8, 3rd paragraph. "As it turns out, AVCHD is the same as H.264, which is the video format as Blu-ray... Shouldn't the word "same" be inserted between the and video? Or, change "as" to "of." Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 56 Third paragraph under "Aspect Ratios;" |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but an aspect ratio of 4:3 would mean that if your TV was 4 feet wide, then it would be 3 feet tall. Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 60 4th bullet |
"Chronological order" means moving forward in time. So the first complete sentence under this bullet needs to read, "Ordinarily, iMovie lists your Events in chronological order..." The confusion is compounded because the Event Library listing shown on the opposing page (p. 61) lists the events in reverse chronological order, not in the default chronological order. Perhaps Figure 2-11 could mention that it's not in the default order. Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 386 Applescript IDVD section p.386-388 |
The entire section "Applescript iDvd" is worthless because,disappointingly, apple has stopped distributing iDvd companion and all links to download these are dead-ended at a general Mac OSX page- their "discussions" have no info about the subject either. The link in the book (www.apple.com/applescript/archive/idvd) is likewise dead. Note from the Author or Editor: |
