If you need 3D perspective controls, you'll need to use Motion instead of LiveType. In case you're wondering why you might still continue to use LiveType instead of doing everything in Motion, it's because LiveType treats each character as an individual glyph on one track. Therefore, it much easier to create animated path's where characters follow each other in a timed pattern. However, Apple Motion..http://www.geniusdv.com/weblog/archives/creating_3d_motion_in_apple_motion_with_livefonts....

Updating Streaming Web pages with Different File Names- October 1, 2007 Many times updating Streaming web pages can be tedious, especially now since not only do you need to include Embed and Object tags in your authored pages but you also need to include the javascript code. This means if you're using streaming web page templates you'll need to make a file name change in three different places. However, if you're using at least Dreamweaver 8 this process can be easier using the Find and Replace feature. Here's how it works.

(A separate column, Transcode Status, displays either Transcoded or Untranscoded to show the assets current state.)

Assets are designated as follows in the Transcode Settings column: Automatic Displayed for all non-DVD-compliant assets by default.

The display conveys size information only and has no bearing on quality. Adobe Encore DVD calculates the free space using the transcoding data rate (whether it was set automatically or manually). It then combines this estimated bit rate with the actual bit rate of any transcoded clips and, based on the disc size, calculates the space remaining on your disc.
