I've used Live to create soundtracks before with no real problems. Its useful to easily stretch or shrink sections to fit the video cut but just be careful about the loss of audio quality. Over warped audio sounds a bit pants imho. I usually throw things together in Live and then do the proper seque...

Roxio Toast gives you a codec to enable Blue Ray discs on your Mac... Not sure if its just for burning your own discs or whether it lets you watch them as well.

Never tried it tbh.

I find them almost completely unlistenable but, every remix of one their tunes I've ever heard is absolutely brilliant.

I once did a weeks work at Bristol City Council's Social Services offices. On my first day I was told very sternly that I was not allowed to use the word 'Black' in reference to anything in case it offended anyone. Example: Hey would you like some coffee? Yeah sure. How do you take it? Black with su...

The Audio Unit format was designed by Apple to be a common platform for developers. A Mac-Only standard. Thats it. This is why you should get better performance from them. Personally I haven't noticed any significant benefit to using them over VSTs so imho, it really doesn't matter. As I said, some ...

Genrally speaking, Audio Units will use less CPU as they are better integrated into Apple's Core Audio. However, you will find that sometimes a plug-in comes only in the VST format so potentially you'll end up with a mixture anyway. Either format will work well but you will get slightly better perfo...

I'd be tempted to re-do all the sound. I've done various Foley/Soundtracking jobs in the past and I'd say you're better off recording the track again and then monkeying around with it to make it sound live. All the suggestions regarding reverb and eq are quite correct. Sound replacement if done prop...

try musolomo and turntablist. Both excellent free plug-ins. Could be barking up the wrong tree because I'm not really sure I follow you.

when I sequence things I usually leave 16 bars or so blank at the beginning of the arrangement view. That way, I can loop the beginning in session view and not get any spill from tracks in the arrange.
