DVD to WMV

How do I convert my DVD to WMV?

Flip4Mac is the best thing for this, but, you can't get it done with the version OS software you have. Requires at least 10.3.9 OS.
Ah, good catch. An ancient 733 macintosh running system 9+ is not a viable solution for anything associated with the question.
Get a PC.

  • Newby problem - creating dvd from .wmv file

    First - thank everyone/anyone in advance for helping me. Second - is there a basic video how-to somewhere to help me learn Premiere Elements? I am finding this program very hard to figure out on my own.
    Here's the current problem - I created a slideshow with an audio track (a little music video) in Photoshop Elements 7, a .wmv file that I successfully uploaded to YouTube.  The file is 50k KB, under 5 minutes.
    Copied the wmv file to a DVD.  When my Sony HDMI CD/DVD player said it couldn't play the disc, decided to try something else.
    Imported the wmv file into Premiere Elements 7. Gave up trying to figure out how to create a title card, menu, etc, and since the video is just how I want it anyway, saved the file and tried burning it to disc.
    Put in a Verbatim Lightscribe DVD+R disc, 4.7 GB, and prepared to burn from PE7.  The program said that the disc status was not blank - which it is, so I burnt to a folder on my hard drive instead - 4.7GB, according to the choice I made from the program.  From the folder, I burned the Video_ts file to the disc.  It still doesn't play in my DVD player.
    I have reformatted the DVD to start fresh and make sure it is blank, but PE7 continues to read it as not blank.  Tried putting in a fresh disc newly opened, but the computer seems to format it automatically and still claims it is not blank.  Regardless, it is blank.
    What am I doing wrong and how can I properly burn this little video to a DVD?  Just trying to show my grandmother the video.
    Am working on HP HDX Premium laptop with Vista.
    Thanks for any advice.  I'm in and out so may not respond promptly.

    There is so much to be looked at in Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7, used as standalone or intergrated.
    I like to look at the Help PDF under the Help Menu of each and follow through from "Getting Started" and onward.
    When you create a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 7, the preferred route to the DVD-VIDEO generated by Premiere Elements 7 is via Photoshop Elements 7 Slideshow Editor Output Option "Send To Premiere Elements". Once the slideshow (in a video form) arrives on the Premiere Elements Timeline, you then have an opportunity for further edits (if you want to) using the "Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow" Command (right click video on Timeline and select that command).
    In Premiere Elements 7, you can burn your slideshow to disc (DVD-VIDEO Format on DVD disc). It is important to remember that the player has to support the disc type as well as the format on that disc. Try using a different brand type and/or disc type like DVD-R and see how you do. If you burn to folder, you burn just the VIDEO_TS (all files) housed in the saved folder, using a Burn Video Images category in the 3rd party burn software such as Nero, Record Now. Do not use Make Data Disc, a common mistake. The "playable disc" category mentioned in an earlier thread is sort of a functional name rather than the category name you will find in most of these 3rd party burn softwares. If you need a step by step for Nero or Record Now, I will supply that on request.
    But, you have a .wmv version of your slideshow that you want to get into DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc for playback on the TV.
    This is my suggestion:
    In Premiere Elements 7, after import to Timeline, Create Menus...
    Share/Disc/Disc
    Preset: NTSC Standard or Widescreen or PAL equivalent, depending on your location
    check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
    Disc Type: DVD-R (never used before disc, out of the box)
    OR
    In a software such as Nero, Record Now
    Use Burn Video Files to DVD category to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD-R disc
    OR
    Use ImgBurn software (free download software which I find extremely "strange", but it works http://www.imgburn.com/)
    Follow instructions for burning the VIDEO_TS to a DVD-R disc

  • Burn DVD with PE8

    Ihas anyone
    found how to burn a DVD inPE8. I keep getting an error message "unable to creatWMV file" I am not tech proficient and don't know what that means or how to continue. I have spent several hours with Adobe Tech people who give me instructions I neither understand nor can I implement. For example the last person told me to follow the Tutorial  which She said I could access my opening PE8  welcome and click on Tutorials. Unless I am doing something wrong there is no icon or Tutorial link on the Welcome Page. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your help. I may be getting somewhere but have no idea how. I
    tried your suggestion and created  sideshows with 3 and then 4 pictures in
    PRE 8. When I went to burn a DVD " the WMV file worked and I saved it to"
    My  Docs- My DVDs". Going further I was able to successfully Burn the DVD.
    Then to  my great surprise I tried the original sideshows and it too first 
    created WMV file and after trying a few different things I did create a  DVD.
    The procedure I used was a little  awkward.and I hope I can  replicate it.
    After saving the WMV file I had to close the computer and  leave. When I
    reopened the PRE 8 program I could not open the file from the  welcome screen.
    I was able to open it by first opening the Organizer and then  clicking on
    the Title Slide for the slide show. Then I used the Share button to  click
    on Burn Disc (DVD). It took a very long time to load the file to what I 
    assume was the editor screen and a very very long time to burn the DVD but  it
    was successful. I hope this explanation is not too confusing. I  have no idea
    why this has worked but I am glad it does .I would love to have a  clear
    cut procedure to follow now that the program is apparently working.The 
    following I hope answers your previous questions and will be helpful to others 
    having the same problems.
    !A - There was no more detail in the error message and no other messages. 
    MY success is described above.I have in the past used  "sonic creator" 
    program to create VCD discs of digital pictures.
    2A - There are 98 photos in the slide show
    2B - The photos are jpeg mostly from my Canon 8 megapixel camera.
    3 - The time is 7' 24" ( 7 min. 24 sec)
    4- - My C drive shows 86.7 GB available
    At some point when I was creating the DVD I got a new error message I had 
    not previously seen,
        "GPU Play back will not disable because your  current graphics card
    driver is not compatable with the application.  GPU  playback provides smoother
    better quality previews. To use GPU play back update  your graphics card
    then go to eit>Preference>general to turn GPU back  on"
        Graphic card detail : ATI Technologies Inc,- RADEOH  XPRESS 200M  ++++"
    I tried to follow this but apparently didn't get the address right and was 
    not able to continue.
    When burning the DVD the very,very long time was about 1 1/2 hrs to burn a 
    7 1/2 min DVD.This seemed like a very long time.
    Thank You again,

  • OT - Format for a slideshow made on a PC to be run on a Mac

    Over on the Premiere Elements forum, there is a person asking a question about what format to use for a slideshow video so people can play it on a Mac. He is currently using Premiere Elements 3 to create MPEG2/DVD for play on TV, WMV 800x600 format for play on Windows and he asked about whether Quicktime is a good equivalent format to play on a Mac and what parameters should be used.
    Here is a reference to the original thread
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc33372/7
    As I recollect there is a WMV viewer available for plan on a Mac but many people may not have it available. And since, this show is being created in Premiere Elements for its DVD and WMV formats, using a PDF file for Mac play is not really an alternative.
    So I came here to ask for suggestions of formats and parameters for play on a Mac. Don't worry about whether Premiere Elements 3 could create any format that you would suggest: we can check that out over on the Prem Elem forum. Thanks for any suggestions.

    If the person has an up to date system, they probably have the flip4mac plug-in, which allows macs to play most WMV files. Older macs may or may not have WMP. If they don't have it, I'm not sure you can still download it-Microsoft has stopped issuing it and recommends flip4mac instead. You will aslo find a fairly substantial number of mac folks who will not do Windows media under any circumstances whatsoever, I'm afraid.
    All macs can play QT files, but again, if you want to use H264, the person would need to have a fairly recent version of QT installed.
    A potential problem is that macs last a long time, so there are still many people using the old OS 9 operating system from 8 or nine years ago, and apple stopped issuing updates for that system a long time ago. Also, there are some WMV codecs that have never been released for anything but windows.

  • Photoshop Elements 4 Slide Show Tips

    I just spent a weekend making five slide shows with Photoshop Elements 4. I made PDF files and DVDs from all of them, and I experimented extensively. Here are some things I learned:
    Making a slide show in Elements 4 is simple and reasonably intuitive, especially if you are familiar with the Organizer. If youre not familiar with the Organizer, making a slide show gives you a good opportunity to become so. Its worth it.
    As with any computer task, theres a learning curve associated with making slide shows, but its a worthwhile curve to climb up. Once youre familiar with making slide shows, making new ones is easy, fun, and very productive.
    Elements 4 lets you output slide shows as PDF files (.PDF) or Movie Files (.WMV).
    When one of the PDF files is viewed on a computer with Adobe Viewer 7.0, the show is animated in accordance with the timing set up in Elements 4. When watching a slide show, the user can press ESC to stop the viewer from stepping through the slides. This enables navigation buttons that can be used to move from slide to slide. In this mode, Adobe Viewers Picture Tasks Menu, Select Tool, and Snapshot Tool can be used to process individual images. Some of the possible actions are selecting and copying all or part of the image, printing it, and even ordering prints online. These are excellent features, but not obvious to everyone, so you should tell your audience about them.
    You can view the WMV files on Windows Media Player or whatever multimedia software you use. If you have a DVD burner and simple DVD creation software, you can easily convert the WMV files to DVDs.
    There are some pros and cons of each of the three formats:
    PDF can be played on any computer with Adobe viewer. Sound track can be unstable. Can't see pan & zoom. CAN copy and process individual images IF you have Adobe Viewer 7.
    WMV can be played on any computer with Windows Media Player or similar. Sound track can be unstable. CAN see pan & zoom, which are excellent slide show features (try them). Can't copy images locally.
    You can make a
    DVD from WMV files. It has stable audio and shows pan & zoom, but resolution is lower than the other two.
    In a few hours (from 12/5/05 AM), you can download PDF versions of my slide shows from the reunions page at www.ussrankin.org. The BANQUET one has the most features.

    Louis,
    I hope you are happy with the decision to go with the Sony package. I really like the flexibility of both programs.
    I'd be happy to answer some questions. I changed my Adobe forum profile so that you can see my e-mail address. I'll leave it on there for a day or so.
    Have you tried the Sony website and forums?
    http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/forums/default.asp
    I have always found them helpful, much like this one.
    I have to admit that my skills on DVD Architect Studio 3 are not as good as they are on Movie Studio 6. I cut my teeth on the first full blown version of DVD Architect [1.0]. DVD Architect Studio has so many more features and flexibility, it is amazing. The only bad thing about DVD Architect Studio that I can see is that it won't encode the audio in Dolby AC-3 format, which is the preferred format. If you use the audio defaults in the program, however, you will be fine unless you are trying to cram more than 60 minutes worth of stuff onto the DVD. Personally, I think that is bad practice anyway, because who wants to watch an hour of your slideshows!

  • Creative Vision 60GB Question for mov

    I've only had my Vision for 3 days and syncing music as we speak........around 800 songs and hour at the moment.
    My question is what format people use to move a DVD onto the unit.
    I use IMTOO Platinum V4 to move my DVD to WMV and then have Creative Video Converter to its thing.
    It took over 75 minutes to convert a movie.
    QUESTIONS:
    What formats are people using?
    What software are you using?
    How long does it take?
    I have the following software:
    DVD Shrink
    Nero Ultra V6
    DVD Fab Express
    IMTOO Platinum V6
    What is the best format to use so its compatible with ZVM?
    Cannot I simply drag and drop the files into the folders?
    thanks in advance.

    Many thanks for that..............
    I just tried copying another movie into my ZVM using the iri'verter but it too took around an hour (was a shorter film then the first)......
    Ok, seems that this is the length of time then it takes to convert a DVD across to the Zen standard.........no problemo....
    thanks heaps anyway...... I now have two converters...

  • Encore CS6 isn't transcoding finished videos

    Adobe Encore CS6, Intel Xeon CPU Dual Core @ 2.66 GHz, 12 GB RAM, Windows 7
    I've encountered a strange problem this week. If I try to create a DVD folder using a .WMV file, I get an error saying "error setting up transcoder." This error repeated itself even when I changed my DVD transcode settings. These are videos I created using Premiere Pro CS6 on this same computer. However, if I use Dynamic Link to send the project directly from Premiere Pro to Encore, I have no problems. Fortunately, to this point I have only had to create DVDs of video projects I've edited on my computer, but in the future I will have to create DVDs from .WMV files that I haven't produced. This is a new issue that I've only encountered this week; for the past few months I haven't had an issue creating DVD folders with .WMV video files. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

    Odd.
    WMV is a supported filetype. Not an optimal choice, but, as it has for you in the past, should work.
    It is tempting to look at transcode settings or the settings you used to export it from PR. But the more likely scenario is that something changed on your machine in terms of codecs or other settings.
    You mention building to a folder,  but I assume the problem has nothing to do with a build. When do you get the error? Upon import of the asset? Or trying to transcode it? I assume it is not when you open the project.

  • Audigy4 Pro - Dolby Digital Li

    In my effort to further simplify connections in my home theater, I would like to be able to have surround sound gaming (EAX) pass through my optical connection to my reciever as Dolby Digital just like DVDs and WMV/Xvid/etc... I know that none of the current SoundBlasters do this out of the box, but are there any hardware or software modifications that can be done to the card/driver for me do this? It seems that such a capable card should be able to convert EAX to DD. I love the card, but I'm going to wind up switching to another line in a few weeks if I can't find a solution. I just do not want to run six cables from my PC to my receiver and then have to switch my receiver from DVD to 6-Channel input every time I start a game or listen to music or watch a movie.
    If I'm just beating a dead horse, does anyone know when or if Creative will unveil a sound card with the ability to encode Dolby Digital in real time? I haven't had a computer without a Creative sound card in it in over a decade, so if something is coming soon, I can hold out for a little while...

    you must think that dolby digital is not a no loss codec
    analog 5. is no loss!!! thats the point i think
    from that point analog is better than li've ac3(but thats just for we germans call they beamte:-)))
    but i apreciate? a li've ac3 encoder too because its more easy to use than the three to 4 audio cables
    my english is bad sorry

  • Movie Formats

    I have 5 different movie formats that I want to use to make a DVD.
    .WMV
    .ASF
    .MPG
    .MPEG
    .MOV
    Only the .wmv and .asf are able to do added to the drop zones in iDVD. What do I need to do to convert the .MPG,.MPEG, and .MOV to be able to be dropped into iDVD so I can make a movie?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    First of all, you should not be dropping your movie per se into the drop zone ... drop zones are for menu movies
    Your main movie should be dropped into the iDVD pane beyond the parameters of the drop zone (I think there is a Preference that shows you the drop zone as a spotted line as you move the movie across it)
    Secondly, iDVD is designed to work best with Quicktime (.mov) files

  • Premiere Elements 7 - Interlaced problems exporting AVCHD

    Hi there,
    I have AVCHD material from a Canon HF-100.
    Editing and exporting to AVCHD works fine.
    Exporting to another format, MPEG-2 DVD or WMV, always shows horizontal interlaced stripes. It's not like it's a wrong field order, just bad quality...
    Any tipps?
    Thanks!
    Alexander

    Hi Paul,
    thanks for your efforts. But this brings me back to my initial problem:
    The only Windows Media Codec, according to Microsoft, actually supporting Interlaced material is "9 Advanced Profile". The others need to deinterlace the material!
    If I select "Advanced Profile", the "Allow Interlaced Processing" checkbox disappears.
    Hence, the resulting WMV clip has drastic "combing" effects.
    The only workaround I currently see is to deinterlace the material and encode WMV progressive - but that will never reach the same quality as keeping it interlaced.
    To illustrate, I've uploaded some testclips (approx 129 MB):
    http://rapidshare.com/files/199081597/samples.zip.html
    MD5: 647299BC3E37747734F7C37AA80D57B6
    '_source.m2t' is the source AVCHD file
    Three WMV files (all starting with 'Premiere') to illustrate what goes wrong. One uses the original Premiere settings 'HD 1080i 25', one uses that setting, but with a frame width of 1920, one is a test setting I made for 9AP.
    In all three Premiere export clips, the people moving through the picture show the mentioned effects. If one knows where to look, it's visible everywhere, but it shows best in moving objects.
    One WMV file ('TMPGEnc 4.0 Express Test 3.wmv'), which shows what I would like to accomplish with Premiere directly.
    Thanks again for your time,
    Alexander

  • Using a *.wmv file to make a home video playable in DVD players?

    Hello all,
    I have a project where I need to take a slide show made in Windows Movie Maker (.wmv file extension), burn it to a CD and make it play in a DVD Player. I attempted just making a VCD on a Windows XP laptop, but it wouldn't play in the DVD Player.
    So, can iDVD '08 help me out with this? I have a Mac Mini, but I'm not very familiar with it yet (bought it just a few months ago).
    For clarification, what I need to do with this wmv slide show is burn it to a CD that can be played in a DVD player and I'm wondering if iDVD can do this for me. Already attempted making a VCD on a Windows XP laptop.
    Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

    Hi
    She can't play it on her PC, nor can I at home.
    Ussually it's a DVD player software matter. Windows Media Player is not intended for DVD playing. Did you use it when it failed? Try with the free and cross plataform VLC Player.

  • Using a .WMV file in DVD Studio Pro

    Hello All,
    I'm so dangerously close to having this whole thing down, that the challenges are becoming excrutiatingly painful.
    I've completed my edit.
    I've exported my FCP edit to Quicktime.
    I've downloaded Flip4Mac
    I've exported a version of the FCP to a WMV file format.
    Now I want to import both assets (QT and WMV) to DVD Studio Pro. I'm trying to make it so there are two seperate versions on the DVD.
    As I attempt to link a button to the WMV file, I get the rainbow wheel turning, and it never stops.
    So, I guess there are a few questions:
    1. How can I force the rainbow wheel to quit. Until now, I've just shutoff the computer (not a good idea).
    2. Is it possible to combine the QT and WMV files on the same DVD?
    3. Am I totally confused?
    Thanks.

  • Convert WMV to DVD Format

    I have some discs that were burned in wmv format. I would like to convert them so that they will play in home DVD recorders. What formats play in most DVD players? What third party utility would you recommend (using MacBook Pro)?

    If any of you out there know of a wmv to mov program that works great without having to first convert to mpg which seems to make the quality of the movie horrible .. well not movie .. they are just clips .. and actually ever since my QuickTime Pro 7.6 started .. it is not image sequencing ... I have uninstalled and went back a couple of versions .. did not help ..now I am back to the latest version again ... anyway ... this flip for mac ... they should have something that works in windows
