Vid to DVD

I want to convert a 2-hour videocassette recording to dvd. My EzCAP converter (between VCR and iMac)
will convert a five-second clip to a 15MB viewable movie file but the whole, two hour vid converted into a
huge file (I forgot the size) and froze my computer until restarting.

You're on the right track.
When you import the raw footage from tape, it gets saved as an uncompressed 30 fps video. Because of that, yes, they are huge. That shouldn't cause your Mac to freeze though unless you ran out of disk space before the video was done recording to disk. A restart cleared because the system would have dumped the incomplete scratch file.
Basically, you're going to need at least a one terabyte drive to save the footage, AND still have enough free working space while creating a DVD of the capture.

  • Downloading vids to DVDs

    Internal DVD player puked out early.  Bought an external drive from BB.  Works great.
    Now I want to burn occasional short vid from computer to DVD.  I receive message that I have no disc in internal drive (I have one in external drive).  Computer doesn't seem to recognize external drive with DVD.  How do I get it to recognize DVD in external drive?

    Hey pjmoriarity,
    Making your own videos is fun! Can you please specify
    which external DVD drive you purchased? Did it come with editing or burning
    software?  Often times you just need to
    specify or change the destination drive within the burning or editing software.
    When you open up “My Computer” do you see the external drive there?  If not, you may need to reinstall the drive
    software or drivers.  Are you burning
    your own personal video or do you want to burn something from a video hosting
    site?  Keep in mind that website videos
    and other content online is usually copyrighted and not intended to burn,
    especially since it is lower quality video.

  • Music vid to dvd

    Anyone know how to convert a mpeg (or any other) music video to a form suitable to use imovie or idvd to burn onto a dvd so when I have aparty I can play it on my TV and surround sound via my DVD player? right now it only imports the video trac but not the sound track, and a lot of the music videos are shorter than the original songs on the albums due to editing when they made the video... so mixing is not an option in imovie. Obviously i have imovie idvd and quicktime pro 7. please help.

    If the video is in meg-1 then this freeware will export both the sound and video to DV stream, which is the needed format for iMovie and iDVD. If it is a mpeg-2 file you would need to purchase the Apple mpeg2playbackcomponent to do the conversion with streamclip. It will also read some other file formats but for some you may need to also purchase QT Pro ($30) from the Apple Store: Mpeg StreamClip

  • Hard Drive (Internal) no longer accessible, icon no longer on desktop!

    I was in the process of switching startup disks, which I have done on occasion previously without incident, then the drive was stuck on the startup screen, I pressed the restart button on the front of the computer and have not been able to access the drive since. The icon for that drive no longer appears on my desktop. I have attempted Mucho different things to retrieve the drive to no avail :
    1. disk util from internal drive
    2. disk util from Tiger DVD install disk
    3. TERMINAL Application
    4. PMU reset
    5. NvRAM reset
    6. Removing DRAM then replacing the same memory cards
    7. Moving the hard drives around to different bays within the tower
    Disk Utility reads (-9972) error when attempting to repair. TERMINAL App. responds with INVALID NODE STRUCTURE VOLUME CHECK FAILED. System profiler does recognize the drive though I currently have no access to the drive.
    Drive has many very important files which I had not yet back-upped! I feel like I'm the next person in the group circle to state my name and admit I have a problem not taking disk back-up seriously.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated before, if necessary, shelling out mucho dinero$ for disk repair and file retrieval.

  • Upgrading to Yosemite SD card icon no longer on desktop

    Both with upgrade and clean install (imported old settings) of Yosemite on a MBP 15" retina, after install my SD card no longer shows on the desktop.
    It mounts ok, and is accessible via finder.
    The preferences for finder are set to show everything, both on the desktop and side bar.
    It only appears in the side bar and via finder, but it used to appear on the desktop - this is a permanently inserted cut down SD - (jetDrive), and I usually access it fro the desktop, so its quite annoying!
    The main HD, and my external USB drives all appear on the desktop still.
    Any ideas?

  • DV Camera Analog Passthru control problems

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to Macs but have managed to convert all my Mini DV vids to DVD using iMovie/iDVD which I'm really happy with. However, now I'm trying to get all my old Hi8 tapes done and I'm having a few problems.
    I have a Sony PC101 Mini DV camera which lets you have an AV passthru from my old analog camera through the DV camera and via the firewire into the Mac. The problem is though that when I click import in iMovie it tries to play the tape in the DV camera but I need the footage from the analog camera.
    I did this on my XP PC once where I told the package to not control the DV camera so I could play the analog camera and just say import and it worked.
    I can't see a way of doing this in iMovie HD so any ideas? If i take the tape out of the DV camera it won't let me import as it says it needs a tape.
    Help!!!

    Some analog to DV converters don't work in iMovie HD 5.0.2 like they do in iMovie 4.0.1. Sad but true.
    1. For example, my Sony TRV320 can convert analog video to DV in passthrough mode in iMovie 4.0.1, but not in iMovie HD 5.0.2. Reportedly neither Sony DVMC-DA1 converter's, or Sony DCR-PC110, Sony DCR-HC30E, Sony TRV-340E, Canon ZR80, Canon ZR200, Canon MV630i or Panasonic NV EX3 camcorders' analog to DV passthrough work in iMovie HD 5.0.2 like it does in iMovie 4.0.1.
    2. It is also not possible to record live DV with no tape in the camcorder (i.e. the camcorder in Rec mode, so that what goes in the camcorder's lens, imports in real-time to iMovie) from a camcorder (Sony TRV320, for example) to iMovie HD 5.0.2 because iMovie complains "Camera No Tape". In iMovie 4.0.1 and BTV Pro this works OK with no tape in the camcorder.
    Analog-to-DV workaround #1: Import using $20/40 BTV/BTV Pro or iMovie 4.0.1. Then import it to iMovie HD or, to save time and HD space, drop the .dv file in the Media-folder.
    Analog-to-DV workaround #2: (This worked with my Sony TRV320 with iMovie HD 5.0.1 but not anymore with v5.0.2). Put a tape in the camcorder and press the camcorder's PLAY-button to play the tape in VTR mode (usually the tape must be OUT when doing analog-DV conversion!), then in iMovie hit the Import-button (so iMovie starts to import from the tape), then press the camcorder's STOP-button. iMovie should then continue importing from the analog source as usual.

  • Superdrive - How can I tell if its broken or I'm just using it wrong?

    I've had my Quad PPC G5 for a while now, and the Superdrive has always been flakey...
    When I try to burn my vids using DVD Studio Pro mostly (but other software is used), it says it burns, but when move it to other machines or my TV, the vids freeze midway... When i copy the files to my PC and burn from there using Roxio, it burns fine & plays fine... I'm afraid to use the Superdrive now as I've given my stuff to people and they can't play it..
    I also have problems ejecting discs once theyre in the drive...If i have nothing in there, eject works fine, but if i put discs (any discs) in there, I have to reboot and hold down the eject button to get them out...
    I have AppleCare, but before i call, I'm hoping it is just a matter that I;m doing something wrong or using cheap DVDs (Generic DVD-R's 16X speed)... Buit that wouldn't explain away the eject issue...
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi James-
    Here's the info on your drive (performance review):
    http://www.cdfreaks.com/reviews/First-look-LG-GSA-4165B-DVD-Burner/1st-look-conc lusion.html
    The maker is LG- typically receives good reviews.
    I notice that you are running OS 10.4.6. How long has it been since you did a system reinstall? With regard to the eject function, it could very well be that you have some corrupt files within the OS. Could be that a repair with Disk Utility could help. Beyond this, an Archive and Install may be useful, followed by (preferred) a clean system reinstall. A simple re-update might be all that is needed.....
    But, since the drive has displayed the problem from the beginning, it does tilt the balance towards a hardware problem. Having said this, depending on the original OS version (10.4.2?), and the update history, the problem could lie within the firmware, or, system software.
    Does the problem occur in a different user account? Setting up a second user account, with Admin privileges, is a good trouble shooting technique. If no problem, then it is in your account only. If the same, the saga continues.......
    So- first, I would run Disk Utility (booted from install disk) and repair the hard drive. I would also repair permissions. Following this (after testing the drive) I would try a re-application of the 10.4.6 Combo Update:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1046comboforppc.html
    Should this fail, I think I would be inclined to use my Applecare.
    As for the disk reading and writing- take note of the makers that are listed on the bottom of the review (1st look conclusion) page that I linked. Can't go wrong with them. Also, look at user responses on the following (select format):

  • Why do i have to re-render 8 bit uncompressed in timeline?

    hey there, can anyone help?
    ripped vid off dvds, then converted to 'Apple FCP Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2'
    when i bring these files into FCP and set the seq settings to 'uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2' it makes me re-render the files in the timeline.
    i have a TON of footage, and rendering takes FOREVER...
    any help?
    thanks in advance...
    e

    thanks for your reply...
    wish it were that simple. i can't get the original masters. i must rip from dvds to be later projected, so i had to use an uncompressed setting. i tested a bunch and 8-bit seemed to look the best.
    what do you mean drop into the sequence and let final cut tell you? i've tried a bunch of things, like start a new proj and re-set seq settings. are they 2 diff codecs? doesn't make sense why i would have to re-render...
    thanks.

  • RAID 0 SLOW

    Hi all..
    Ive got two digital raptors both 36gig on raid 0
    Both connected on SATA1 and 2
    I may be completely wrong in assuming somethings amiss - but to me the system is not accessing data as quick as id expect.
    They're two of the fastest drives around and yet i still have to wait a fair amount of time for certain games to install.
    Roughly 4 minutes to install a game like GTA SA - it just seems very slow ?
    I ran Software Sandra at it rated the drive index at 80mbs - is this normal ?
    The pc overall is running very well - stable at least - just wondering if im missing anything obvious that could speed the drives up.
    I heard the mb sata3 and 4 sockets were better for oc  - would swapping the cables over to sata sockets 3 and 4 harm/wipe the data on the drives..??
    secondly would this give me any performance increase?
    Any help as always greatly appreciated..

    Byter how should i do i determine the size of the stripe that was used? - is it possible to change without reformatting?
    Thanks
    I'm not sure how to tell the raid stripe size except durring install or Maybe using the nvidia raid manager if it's in your controll panel but either way if you wanted to change the stripe size you would have to rebuild the array(reformat), with those new scores I think your doing great though.

    Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

  • Adobe Encore DVD - vidéo avant menu

    Bonjour,
    Je travaille actuellement sur un projet de DVD, dont l'authoring est
    réalisé sur Adobe Encore CS3.
    J'ai donc un menu, qui fonctionne on ne peut mieux, mais avant ce
    menu, j'aimerais avoir une vidéo qui n'est pas "passable" (comme le
    fameux "télécharger un film piraté c'est du vol" qui nous prend 1
    minute de notre temps sur beaucoup de DVD =p ).
    J'ai donc mis cette fameuse vidéo "à lire en premier" dans
    encore, et lorsque je lance le pré-visionnage, ça fonctionne comme sur
    des roulettes (sauf qu'en cliquant sur le bouton menu, je peux
    passer cette vidéo sans problème, alors que je voudrais justement qu'on
    ne puisse pas la passer, mais bon... au point où j'en suis!) (bien que
    je n'ai autorisé aucune opération dans l'option prévue à cet effet, je
    précise)
    Bref, je sens que je commence à vous perdre, alors j'en viens au
    fait!
    Je lance donc ma génération de DVD en dossier DVD. Une fois tout
    l'encodage terminé, je lance mon DVD, et là! Oh miracle! Je n'ai pas de
    vidéo avant le menu. J'arrive directement sur le menu. Et pourtant
    (chose incompréhensible pour mon pauvre petit cerveau maltraité), elle
    est bien dans le fichier VIDEO_TS, en .vob...
    Alors, voilà les différentes solutions que j'ai testé:
    1. La vidéo est un montage, à lire en premier.
    2. Je crée un menu sans rien, d'une durée de 1 seconde, qui envoie
    directement sur la vidéo concernée qui est toujours un montage.
    3. Je crée un menu, sans boutons, qui fait tourner cette vidéo (la
    vidéo est donc un menu ^^').
    Aucune de ces trois possibilités ne fonctionne... Je re-précise
    qu'en prévisualisation sur Encore, ça fonctionne très bien! J'ai ma
    vidéo avant mon menu. Mais je ne l'ai plus lorsque le DVD est généré.
    J'en viens donc à me dire que ce n'est peut-être pas un problème de
    réglage, mais un bug d'adobe Encore, ou bien un dis-fonctionnement dans
    mon projet (je ne sais pas moi, un fichier corrompu, ou n'importe quoi
    qui donnerait un sens à cette mascarade!)
    Je vous épargnerai les habituels "Heeeelp je pète un cââââble!" ou
    "Pitiééééééééé aidez-moi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" mais je n'en pense pas moins
    ^^'
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide, qui je n'en doute pas, me sera bien
    plus utile que le néant qui me sert d'idée...

    Merci pour ton info. On ne pense pas toujours au problème externe au logiciel utilisé. Moi, je ne parviens pas pour le moment en prévisualisation dans encore CS5  à faire reprendre un menu animé créé sur aftereffects CS5 au Loop Point (marque sur le projet AfX) et boucle dans encore. La seule chose que j'ai réussi , c'est à créer un chapitre au point de boucle du projet Afx sur encore ( à 8 s sur 30 s) et à pointer sur celui-ci. Dans  ce cas on revient effectivement au point de boucle et non au début du menu mais pour pouvoir utiliser les boutons, il faut attendre 22 s ! C'est la première fois que je  fais  un menu avec boucle et je cherche, je cherche....;0)

  • Problème de qualité vidéo sur gravage de DVD

    J'ai crée un diaporama dans adobe photoshop elements 11. En voulant le graver sur un DVD dans adobe première, la vidéo est très dégradée. Je n'arrive pas à résoudre le problème. qui pourrait me renseigner ? Merci d'avance

    Bonjour et merci de répondre. Je travaille avec un k10, un pc enermax neuf et donc adobe photoshop elements et première version 11.
    Ce que je comprends pas, c'est que je procède toujours de la même manière depuis 10 ans pour  créer mes diaporamas et sans problème.. J'ai seulement acheter cette version d'adobe
    plus récente . Je crée le diaporama dans photoshopt elements avec textes et musique (simple) puis je fais : sortie, graver sur DVD, PAL, qualité vidéo élevée et le diaporama est envoyé directement dans première. habituellement, après avoir bien sûr donner un titre et quelques autres manip. simples, je demande le gravage et j'installe mon disque. Le codage en www commence puis la gravure, ce qui demande plusieurs heures. Le rendu vidéo est alors le même dans première que dans elements.
    Hors, avec cette version 11, lorsque mes photos sont envoyées dans première, le problème commence. Elle arrivent dégradées (la vidéo seulement mais pas l'audio qui reste impeccable.) Pourquoi ? Voilà mon grand questionnement. Je suis déjà entrée dans tous les paramètres et je ne vois pas ce que je pourrais modifier. Tout est déjà paramétrer par défaut pour une qualité top. C'est pourquoi je cherche quelqu'un qui connaisse bien ce logiciel. Il y a-il un paramètre que je ne connaisse pas et qu'il faille modifier ?
    Voilà la question . De plus, lors de mes essais de gravage, le temps de gravure est de seulement 35 mn au lieu de plusieurs heures habituellement ce qui n'est pas normal pour un diaporama de 45 mn qui exige  des heures pour  se graver : 2ème suspense !  En tous cas, merci et bonne journée. Je continue à chercher.

    Bonjour, J'utilise Premiere CC sans en être un grand spécialiste mais je rejoins Benoît. Pour essayer d'être aidé, il ne suffit pas de jeter une bouteille à la mer. Parfois, il s'agit de problèmes par rapport au matériel, parfois au logiciel et parfois simplement à un mauvais choix des réglages des paramètres et on ne s'en rend même pas compte. Si tu veux que quelqu'un essaye de t'aider donne des infos sur ton matériel, tes fichiers et tes paramètres de rendu. Ce n'est pas certain qu'on trouve la solution mais ce serait déjà mieux pour essayer de t'aider.

  • Comment transférer une vidéo de 35 min provenant de iMovie iPad vers un DVD ?

    Bonjour,
    J'ai fait une vidéo sur mon iPad 4 avec iMovie qui dure 35 min environ et je souhaite la transférer vers mon ordinateur pour la graver sur dvd.
    Merci de me dire comment faire sachant que la vidéo est très longue.
    Bonne soirée...

    En assumant que vous avez suffisamment de place sur votre iPad, vous pouvez envoyer votre video vers la pellicule. Utilisez la taille moyenne 360P ou large 540P pour limiter la taille du fichier (la resolution est suffisante pour un DVD). Connecter votre iPad à votre ordinateur et récupérer le résultat sur votre ordinateur. Ensuite utiliser votre logiciel favori qui convertit un fichier .mov en DVDs.
