FX5600U 128 VTD Video to DVD

OK I finally installed the Video capture drivers properly for this card (ie the ones not including a TV Tuner driver) and everything seems to have gone in ok with no more errors.
I want to transfer loads of old home video to DVD but I feel as though I'm groping around in the dark. What do I need now? I've got Nero DVD burning s/w and a DVD-R writer I assume I need some software to capture the video in, manipulate it then write it to DVD. Can someone point me to good, esy to use (cheap) s/w that does this. Am I right in assuming the Audio out from the VCR is connected to Line in of the sound card and Vout is connected to Vin of the FX5600.
Help please.
Phil S

is there a solution? i have the same problem

I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately. After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1). I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project. Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature. Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?

128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?
meaning, can it do this well???

Even 16 MB VRAM would be enough to display a 2D picture on the 30".
Depending on 3D usage you need much VRAM.
Unless you are using a lot of the latest 3D games or Apples 3D pro apps (Motion/Shake or something like that) 128 MB should be fine.

Burning a video to DVD that will default to opening at actual size.

Hi. I am burning a widescreen (16:9) SD video to dvd using DVD Studio Pro 4. The video has been exported from FCP6 using compressor. The quality is fine and the aspect ratio has been retained for viewing (letterboxed) on a 4:3 CRT and also on a widescreen display. Is there any way, through encoding, that I can force the video, by default, to open at actual size on a widescreen computer display rather than full screen? I realize that the viewer can exit from fullscreen mode and select "actual size" in DVD Player, but if possible, I would like the video to begin playing at actual size without any adjustments having to be made. My concern is that some viewers will not bother to exit fullscreen mode and will view the video at a size not supported by its resolution. It's a video of a photographer's stills and at a display size larger than actual size, the sharpness of the images is compromised. Any way to get around this other than adding some text advising the viewer to watch the video at actual size or redoing the whole thing in HD?

Not possible. There's nothing in the DVD Video specification that provides for this.
There are settings available in the Preferences menu for Apples's DVD Player that can be set to do this, but no way to put information on a disc that will override those settings.

Importing Sony DVDirect Video on DVD into FCE

Hello...good wishes,
I've been recording video from a Canon XL2 directly to DVD using a Sony VRD-VC20 DVDirect DVD Burner. When I try to import this video material into Final Cut Express, FCE does not recognize the format.
Apple Support says that the XL2 Camcorder is a supported device in FCE, but is not able to be conclusive regarding video recorded to DVD using the Sony DVDirect Burner.
The only way I've found to get any of this video into FCE is to play the DVD's in a standard DVD player' record the video back onto DV tape, and import them through the XL2. This is a daunting, funky proposition given the hours and hours of video I need to edit - and I worry about degradation of quality using this process.
Are there any third party drivers written out there or do any of you have ideas how I can get this video from DVD to FCE?
Thanks~

I use a Sony VRD-VC20 to burn Tivo recordings and VHS tapes to DVD. I just picked up a program called Cinematize2. It's a DVD clip extractor that retails for about $50 US. It allows you to set an in and out point on a DVD and extract the clip into a format compatible with FCP/FCE. Previously I used MPEG Streamclip 1.3.1 which allows you to export mpeg2 files to Quicktime, AVI, or DV format for use in FCP/FCE. Mpeg Streamclip also allows you to set in and out points before exporting. The link to download MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 is: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html.
In order to use the MPEG2 playback and converter feature you will also need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You can buy it from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2) for about $30 US. If you have either Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro, then the component is already installed and you don't have to buy it; but you may need to download the latest version from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/download).

How to fit video to DVD-5?

Hi: I have been reading the faqs and forums, and pulling info from a variety of sources, but I am still confussed about how to fit my video to a DVd-5 using Encore. I have previsouly made DVds using Encore 1 & 2.0, so I know the process. But those were smaller projects under 1 hour running time. My current project is approaching 100 minutes for the main feature with small extras, and some basic menus.
I have read that I should be able to fit 110-130 minutes max on a DVD-5. I have also read to realistically expect something closer to 60-75 minutes. Which is it?
My footage is sport oriented so their is movement and & action, lots of transitions, & some composting.
Can someone tell me how do I fit 100 minutes to DVD-5, if that is possible?
I am editing my feature in PPro 1.5. I export 5-10 minute segments as DV AVI files, and then color adjust etc in AE 7.0., which I have been saving as Microsoft DV. I was planning on final assembly of all segments in AE 7.0, & export the whole feature from AE 7.0 as Microsfot DV. But I think this makes my feature file too big and it won;t fit to DVD-5. Is there another codec I should be using for final output to Encore?
What if I assembled in PPro 1.5 and exported to AE for final color. Is there a different codec I should be using to help it fit later on?
Also, I usually leave Encore set to automatic transcode and let it figure whats best. Should I be picking soemthing different?
Thanks and sorry if this has been cover before

Extremely easy. INstall "WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum for Toshiba" that is on the "Additional Tools & Program" CDs that was provided with your Qosmio.
After installation, reboot. Once you take control again, apply this patch (double click the .ref files)
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/updates/windvd-creator-reg/regpatch-xp-na.zip
Now open winDVD Creator 2 and from then on you will figure all out by yourself. (you can select if you want to record from tv, composite or svhs). It will record in .mpg (MPEG2) format, ready to burn on DVD.
Later,

I want to transfer my VHS-C videos to DVD.

I want to transfer my VHS-C videos to DVD using my I MAC (Mid-2011). I have the camcorder (Panasonic PV-IQ305) to use. I also have a VHS player I can use.

Does the Panasonic camcorder have the play thru capability? If it does you can connect the camcorder to your Mac with a FW cable, put in a tape, launch iMovie and play the tape in the camcorder to import it into iMovie. If the camera does not have play thru see if you can find one that does. Then connect your VHS player to the camera and the camera to your iMac.
Otherwise you'll need to use a converter like the Canopus converters. They are not inexpensive but do an excellent job. I used the ADVC-100 model to convert all of my VHS videos to digital and then burn to iDVD. There are undoubtly other converters on the market that do the same function. The Canopus is the only one I've seen discussed in this community.
If you could borrow a camcorder with pass thru you could save a few $$$.

Hrd Drive Full- Archive iTunes Videos to DVD?

My daughter has filled up her laptop's hard drive. The big culprits are movies and TV shows purchased from iTunes. Is there a way that these files can be taken off her hard drive and archived to a DVD? She's not watching the files now and is OK if they come off her iPod, but doesn't want to erase something she paid for in case she might want them at some later date.
Is this possible? If so can someone point me to directions on how to archive these to DVD and how to restore to the hard drive at a later date?
Thanks!

Hi L Powow- thanks for responding to my question. That's not quite what I had in mind. I don't want to back up the entire library, I only want to back up select iTunes video purchases for archival purposes.
I would like to remove the iTunes video purchases from the iTunes library on the computer's hard drive, because they take up too much space and they are not being currently used on the iPod.
I want to know how I can back-up only purchased videos to DVD, so that if I remove them from the library on the PC's hard drive and if, at a future date, there is a requirement to load the videos back onto to the iTunes library, I will be able to restore the videos from a DVD to the iTunes library on the PC hard drive.
Any suggestions on a backup and restore procedure to do this? Thanks.

Have recorded old videos to DVD, want to import (copy) to my imac to use in a project

I have copied old home videos to DVDs and want to copy (import) portions of a couple to mu mac to use in a slide show/video. Was not able to import at all. Uses DVD+R and finalized. The mac did not see the non finalized dvd. I could even use a work around. Just need a couple of clips.
Thanks

Greetings,
If these are video DVDs (you put them in a set top DVD player and they play on the TV) then you'll need some extra software to convert them, as in their present form they cannot be edited.
Apple does not make such software but there are other companies that do.
You can convert your DVDs to a usable form using a variety of programs. Some examples:
Free: http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
Paid: http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/popcorn/standard/overview.html
NOTE: Neither of these examples will convert copyright protected DVDs as that is illegal (mostly). If the DVDs you are trying to use were created with copyright protection, the afore mentioned programs will be unable to convert them.
Cheers.

Burning Video to DVD or VCD

Is it possible to export/burn downloaded videos to DVD for viewing on a standard DVD player. I would like to watch TV episodes on my TV without having to connect it to the iMac (if that would even work.)

Unfortunately not. The DRM on the videos you buy from the iTunes Store does not allow this. You may burn the videos to Data disc.

AVi Video to DVD

I have some family 8mm film from the 1950's. It was converted to the AVi format. I am creating DVD's. If I uncheck the "Quality: Fit contents to available space," and set the quality slider to Highest Quality, will the DVD's play in a DVD or Bluray player?

Michael Stehly
There is no guarantee that any one particular disc will play in a given player.
The only time I would use "Fit contents to available space" is I were getting a Data Rate error message from the project in the burn to phase and had to
lower the bitrate manually in order to reduce the file size and get the burn to progress. I would work routinely with a check mark next
to "Fit Content to Available Space".
I see no advantage to what you are doing, and you open the possibility of the data rate error which will force you to lower the bitrate anyway.
As to player compatibility...in some infrequent instances, a player might require an Audio_TS Folder in with the VIDEO_TS Folder of the
DVD-VIDEO of the DVD disc. Audio_TS is not included in the Premiere Elements burn to disc. But, it can be achieved with a Premiere Elements burn to folder
and then using the VIDEO_TS Folder and a home made Audio_TS Folder and ImgBurn to create the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
As for AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, I am not sure that adding a AACC Folder or the like would make any difference on the playability
of AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. However, Blu-ray adds another consideration to "Fit Content to Available Space"

Why can't you do this? There's plenty of third-party software that can do the job. Download a few from
MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and try them out before choosing one to purchase.

Since upgrading to new version I do not know how to downloand and convert videos to DVD. Please help!

Since updating to new vision of firefox I do not know know to download and convert videos to DVD. Please help!
