1080 H.264 will not import

I'm looking for the magic that will allow me to import a 1920x1080 H.264 stream from Compressor 3.0.1 into DVD Studio.
The stock preset of HD DVD:H.264 60 or 90 minutes takes the 1080 source down to 720. When I modify the preset and force it to create a 1080, it plays fine in QT, but will not import into DVD Studio.
If I encode with the pcm, DVD S will accept the audio...but no video
As a side note, I'm also having the same issue as some other posters with the 720 playing double time.
I've tried various bit rates with no success.
I know previous versions of DVD Studio would not support anything beyond 720 H.264 but the documentation I have read eludes to this not being true with the most recent version of studio.
Yes, yes MPEG-2 at 1080 appears to work, but I think the AVC codecs look better and you can certainly shoehorn more content onto a DVD-R while we in the states await the arrival of an HD burner that isn't bundled with a 3k laptop.
Thanks for reading my question/rant.

I experienced exactly the same problem today. First I imported a 5-minute, ProRes 422 HQ sequence (1440 x 1080) from FCP 6.01 to Compressor 3.01. The 60 and 90 min HD DVD presets have the PCM box checked by default, which they apparently should not be since, according to the DVDSP 4 manual, DVDSP 4 will only accept simple video streams. My original file, which took 2.5 hours to crank out on an 8-cylinder Mac Pro, played fine in the QuickTime player, just as you reported, but DVDSP 4 saw it ONLY as an audio file. (Yes, I activated the HD DVD box).
So I went back to Compressor once more, unchecked the PCM box, and transcoded once again. 2.5 hours later, DVDSP 4 rejected the new file altogether. I successfully accomplished this feat when using FCP 5+ last year, but I don't remember now whether I directly imported an HDV file to DVDSP 4 or trancoded it to H.264 first. My next step will be to try generating the H.264 file directly in QuickTime instead of Compressor.
On the other hand, there was a new version of FCS 2 out last week which needs OS X 10.4.11 in order to update, so maybe I'll try this first. I've got Leopard sitting on a spare drive, waiting for bug reports to die down before I summon the courage to make the switch....
By the way, I did not see where the stock HD DVD preset took the 1080 source to 720. The video format listing in my Compressor inspector said automatic, and I did not change any parameters.

  • H.264 will not import into DVDSP?

    So I have been searching several discussion forums and the question I have seems to pop up in each of them, but is never answered???
    Simply put, I have a FCP 6 project sequence that is 720p24frame which is an editing timebase of 59.94 with an aspect ratio of 960by720.
    This is an 8.5 minute piece so I know that it will fit onto a regular DVD-R.
    So I go through compressor and compress it into both an MPEG2 and H.264 - each at an HD bit rate.
    Then I set up an HD project in DVDSP and try to import the two. The MPEG goes in fine and burns with no problems. My BlueRay/HDDVD combo player is on its way in the mail so I can't test it, but it will not play in my SD DVD player. Then I try to import the H.264 - It states something to the effect of not a compatible format....
    That is my question - Why will the H.264 not import into an HDDVD project in DVDSP - all of the settings are correct from the initial edit - through compressor - through DVDSP.
    Thank you for anyone who can help - we have a large festival coming up that has the option of 35mm or HDDVDs (we cannot afford a print).

    So...this issue is somewhat solved.
    I have done several exports using the provided H.264 presets then tweaking them each to my own set specifics. There are four places in the formats sections of compressor that have H.264 as a codec - one of these is for iPod and web so I disregarded that one completely.
    I always applied the same settings as to have a control base when doing this experiement - I haven't done a science project in probably 15 years. I also pushed the bit-rates to the highest level.
    After many hours in and out of compressor and DVDSP, I found only one of of the presets loaded properly into DVDSP - the 60min under HDDVD H.264 preset (altered to my higher bit-rate)
    I am still waiting on my player to try it out, but it did burn fine. This is all so strange since all of my own settings (bit-rate) and other data was constant.
    Oh well...at least I've got one test completely burnt.

  • My AVI will not import to PE12. They want to load as audio only. Using Windows 7.

    My AVI files will not import to Premiere Elements 12. They want to load as audio only. Currently using Windows 7.

    twswing
    Just a reminder to those reading your thread...at the onset I wrote
    There are certain .avi files with certain video compression that can be highly problematic, such as,
    AVCHD.avi
    And, we have been pursuing that line of troubleshooting by use of the conversion of the AVCHD.avi to an .mp4 file. Right now, the issue is not which method, but getting the export settings of the conversion method correct. It would appear that your conversion settings with Koyote got away from you, especially with the frame size and frame rate.
    We need to get an import whose properties match the Premiere Elements project settings, set by you or the project. Right now I am suggesting that you set the project setting manually yourself before you import your converted file, as per the how to toward the bottom of the following.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    But, first the conversion...by whatever method you select, I am suggesting the following H.264.mp4 as a 4:3 file.
    Go back to the AVCHD (H.264).avi and convert it to H.264.mp4.
    Let us target for
    Frame Width 640 pixels
    Frame Height 480 pixels
    Frame Rate 29.97 frames per second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.0.  (also known as Square Pixels)
    Then open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    Change the project preset to
    NTSC
    FLIP
    Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
    Do not forget the check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space" as you exit the new project dialog.
    Then import your converted H.264.mp4 file into Premiere Elements with Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the file to the Timeline. There should be no black borders anywhere.
    Does Koyote conversion offer the settings that I mentioned. If not, we can discuss using HandBrake which I thought might be easier and quicker to use.
    Please review and then let us decide if we are on course.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes will not import mp4-files.

    For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
    The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
    The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
    I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
    Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
    I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
    To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
    Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

    iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
    Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
    Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

    I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
    Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
    I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
    I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here  that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem.  But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
    Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
    Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

    Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
    Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
    I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
    I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
    Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
    I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
    I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

    After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version".  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry,
    Yes, the error message is exactly like that  ("Database error: failured to persist version")
    No photos will import at all.  I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2. 
    About the difference?  iPhoto and Photos .  Are there two softwares?
    I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro,  iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto.  It's call iPhoto library.  At one point I turned off streaming. 
    Thanks again Larry HN.

  • One album will not import to authorized computer

    I have a Macbook and an iMac.  Both are set up to share, both are authorized in iTunes under the Apple ID I've had for years. I make all purchases on the Macbook. Then I copy them over to my iMac by selecting the Macbook under "Shared," choosing "Show: items not in my library," and importing those songs to the iMac. I copy all purchases onto the iMac so I can delete rarely-listened-to songs/albums from the Macbook when space gets low, which is often.
    There is one album that the iMac will not let me import. For each song from that one album, I get an error saying there's a problem downloading it, because "You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    The crazy thing is, my network connection is just fine; albums I purchased minutes before and after this one copied over fine. It's just this specific album that will not import. The summary pane for each of the album's songs look the same as all my other files: purchased AAC audio files, same bit rate, same sample rate, shows my name and Apple ID as the purchaser, same directory location on my computer, all files have the .m4a extension, ... nothing at all seems strange or unusual about this album's files.
    Does anyone have a clue why this is happening and how to fix it? In the past month, I've imported close to 12,000 songs. This is the only album this has ever happened with.
    P.S. If anyone's curious which album won't transfer, it's Beck's Sea Change, purchased October 2nd, 2012. Oddly enough, I originally purchased this album (from iTunes) in 2008, but in 2009 iTunes began saying it couldn't locate the files. I didn't delete them — they just up and disappeared. That's never happened with anything else before or since, either. It's as if there's something wrong with the files of this particular digital album.

    Hello welcome to apple discussions,
    Itunes does tend to "Mess Up" sometimes when Importing/adding by folder. what you first need to do is try adding each file by going to File>Add FILE to library in iTunes.
    If you do this and get no error message or anything but the one file you just tried to add does not show in iTUnes, its one or the other, Either the tags are corrupt or the song itself is corrupt. iTunes tends to be more "Picky" on windows then other windows based programs.
    You can test the tag issue by searching google or yahoo for a program called "TidyMP3". Just pick one song that will not go into iTUnes, use Tidy MP3 to "Strip" the ID3 tag off this test song and then try to add it to iTUnes. If it goes in you now know the issue and can use this program to strip all tags off your "Problem" MP3s.
    If it doesn't theres something wrong with the song itself. I covered a similar issue before where the person had the songs in iTUnes but it wouldn't play because the song was corrupt and they seemed to come accross great programs for fixing this so heres the link to that post, you can overlook it and follow the links they provide http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2487497#2487497

    Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm  not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

  • ITunes 10 Will not Import CDs

    I just discovered that iTunes 10 will not import audio CDs. Once you insert the CD and iTunes launches, the CD disappears from the desktop. It is not there in the finder window nor in the iTunes window. This occured on all three Macs I tried it on and occurred with about four different audio CDs.
    Apple Technical Support people duplicated the problem on their Macs and have referred this to engineering. If you plan on importing audio CDs in the near future I suggest not installing iTunes 10 now.

  • IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

    I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows  The following file could not be imported.  The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
    I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
    Any ideas anyone?

    I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
    Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.
