1080i video into DVDSP???

I have created a video that was shot on XDCAM at 1080iSP@25mbits/sec. I used a 1080iHDV timeline that supported the 25mbits/sec. I then created a self contained quicktime to import into Compressor. It imported fine and I want to make a 1080i HD file to use in DVDSP. I created a 1080i HD MPEG2 file in compressor and it fails to import into DVDSP. In DVDSP you can setup your project to be HD 1080i, but will it not import a 1080i file? Do I have to bring it down to 720p H.264? If so, what is the purpose of being able to set up a project in 1080i. Plus it won't even import the quicktime I created out of FCPHD.
Any suggestions?

If it is for showing on a specific display, then don't try to make a Video DVD. Just use a computer to play the original Quicktime file (either off hard disk, or from Data DVD - if the running time is short enough).

  • Importing lots of small videos into DVDSP

    I have a large number of short clips I need to bring into DVDSP. If I use compressor to save them as mv2 and AIFF, it's difficult to manage them in DVDSP because the audio and video are not linked.
    Is there a good export format that will keep the audio and video somehow linked in DVDSP?

    FTP?? I think you may mean FCP...
    DVD technologies are quite different to NLE technologies in many ways. As you ahve found, the audio can be placed along the timeline at any point, and can have gaps in it, but the video must form a continuous stream. Hence, when you remove a block of video the whole lot moves to the right to remove the gap, but the audio sits where it was.
    There isn't a way to move all the audio at once, which is a shame. I would much prefer being able to click and drag over a block of audio clips and move them in one go.
    What you could do is construct the sequence outside of DVDSP by using something like MPEGAppend by John Brisbin. You will end up with a single MPEG file made up of the clips you want, and there can be markers set at the 'joins' as well.
    The naming of markers does seem odd, too. In your preferences you can set the marker names to be time code based and have them auto update, too. This is a little better, IMO and makes the naming easier to understand... however, makes less sense than a proper name which you can use in a menu.

  • Removing interlace lines from 1080i video in FCE

    So this happens all the time in my videos due to having 1080i video footage. When I try exporting it into 720, it gets rid of them but everything looks ghost-trailed and it really ruins the video. Is there anyway I can fix this? And no, selecting "de-interlace" does not work.

    Here's the settings I used in Easy Setup
    Here's an image of the clip I used while in Final Cut before export
    And here's the same clip after exported as a QuickTime movie
    Still has the lines :/

  • Best way to set up 3-hour videos in DVDSP

    I have a series of 10 video lectures, each about 60 minutes long, that I've edited in FCP7. Standard definition (talking heads and slides).
    The client wants 3 lectures per finished DVD master.
    What's the best way to output these from FCP7, into DVDSP? Can I just create QuickTime files (bypassing Compressor), and pull those QT files into DVDSP? Do I have to use dual-layer discs to fit 3 hours on each?

    Your best bet is encoding outside of DVD SP. Talking heads and slide may be able to fit on a DVD-5 since it is low motion/complexity it sounds like.
    http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
    3 hours with 160 AAC audio should fit with an encode rate of 3.2, worthwile to run a test on a short section or two to see how it holds up. I have done some of those and it is fine. There are some other options also.
    I would export each lecture as a self contained movie and encode in Compressor in case you need to re-encode and tweak things it is often easier (plus dropping a movie in DVD SP will not compress the audio, you could always do that seperately though.)
    Also if the graphics (slides) are coming on and off screen you could also put Compression markers in those transition areas to focus on the encodes in that area (effectively). If the background is static and just a talking head there is not much movement in the background so definately worth a try.

  • Importing FCP subtitle into DVDSP using TitleExchange

    Has anyone tried this converter? It converts XML file (exported from FCP) into STL, which let you import the subtitle of the FCP track that you choose into DVDSP.
    However, when I import the subtitle file from DVDSP, only 51 out of 450 segments were imported into DVDSP subtitle timeline, and not placed in correct timing with the video.
    Does anyone have any solution?
    Thanks

    You have to buy the Pro Version. € 135.
    I did and it works fine.

  • .mpv ends up darker after imported into DVDSP, why?

    Hello All,
    I'm using Squeeze to compress my uncompressed .mov files into mpeg2. After a lot of tweaking the Sorenson Squeeze settings, I get a file about 95% accurate in comparison with my source. I them import the .mpv into DVDSP. When viewed in simulator, the video is clearly darker, and has gained a bit of contrast.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any fixes, or do I have to adjust Sorenson Squeeze to accommodate for the import into DVDSP?
    Thanks.

    I haven't yet burned it to disc, but that is obviously the next step. I was just comparing everything to make sure something didn't slip by, and need to be corrected later. My monitor is calibrated for photo work, but I doubt that calibration also applies for video. Can you suggest software for video calibration?
    Yes, Squeeze generally wreaks some kind of havoc, right out of the gate, so I end up tweaking quite a few things.
    One of the biggest problems I've found is that the images are very slow moving, morphing, color sequences, and going from an uncompressed 100 gig file to 2 gig mpeg2 is just a nasty thing to do.

  • How to export subtitles as a text file into DVDSP

    Hi, I am trying to export subtitles from fcp 4.5 to dvdsp 3 as a .txt file. (Dvdsp can use .txt files in its subtitle track.)
    I had already created all the subtitles in fcp, and I hope that there is a way where I do not have to create them again from scratch in dvdsp.
    Thank you!

    Hi Hanumang,
    So, I did the txt file piece by pice. It did not go into dvdsp perfectly; I had to shift some of the titles around a bit.
    Now I have another problem which I jusdt posted.
    Perhaps you can help me again?
    New issue:
    I now imported an improved (re-edited with a few brightness corrections) compressed file into DVDSP, deleted the previous file, dragged the new file into tracks in Dvdsp. (Let's call this project "new").
    Now the subtitles from S1 have disappeared! (I had spend tons of time creating subtitles)
    I did a new save, so, yesterdays DVDSP project (let's call this project "old") is still OK, with the perfect subtitles, but not-all-perfect video track (where I improved the brightness filter).
    Can I re-import the subtitles from the "old" project into the "new" one? If yes, how?
    Or, can I export the subtitles from "old" into a txt. file and then import it into project "new?"
    Please help!
    Thank you for your time!

  • Importing Adobe Premiere m2v's w/chapter markers into DVDSP?

    Working on a project where the m2v files are being created by someone else using Adobe Premiere 2.0 on a PC. (They're creating the chapter markers within Premiere)
    In my initial tests, I'm able to get the video and audio files (m2v, ac3) into DVDSP, but not chapter markers.
    Does anyone have experience with this kind of situation?
    Is there an export setting in Adobe Premiere that would help?
    An import setting in DVDSP that would help?
    Is it possible to import Adobe Premiere created m2v's into DVDSP with chapter markers?
    Thanks.
    G5 - Dual 2GHz Processor   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  

    the meta data that premiere stores its chapter marker info is not compatible with dvdsp. That being the case, you could have your friend give you a text document with the timecodes for the chapter markers in a column, each timecode followed by the chapter name if you want something other than the standard "chapter 1, chapter 2" etc.
    Because your friend chose the chapter markers in premiere, when the m2v was encoded, the apropriate I-Frames were placed so that in DVDSP you should have no problem placing a chapter marker at the exact timecode your friend specifies.
    hope that helps

  • How do I use my HDV camera to capture VCR video into Premiere Elements?

    Hello all, I am trying to put VHS video into my computer. I have read that my Canon HV30 can act as an interface between my VCR and my computer. I am supposed to connect my VCR to my HV30 and my HV30 to the computer through firewire. My question is this, how do I connect my VCR to my HV30? Which port on my HV30 is a video input? It has a yellow connection named "AV/(headphones logo)", and one called "component" that looks like a mini firewire port. It also has a red connection named "mic". The other connections are the typical firewire port and such, so it cant be those.? Thanks

    I'm not sure if your camcorder can work as a pass-through between your VHS and computer. Fewer and fewer camcorders have this feature.
    Is your camcorder able to record input from another video source? That's kind of the test. If you camcorder can record from your VCR then it can likely also serve as a pass-through.
    But, sadly, this is one of the features that camcorder manufacturers have stopped including with their cams.

  • I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge.  Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks.  I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2.  Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

    I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge.  I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working.  I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2.  Everything in iMovie looks like it is working.  It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing.  When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty.  The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously.  My system is about one year old.  Any suggestions?

    Hey, Clinton,
         Thanks for your help!  I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video.  I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support.  They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded.  That didn't change anything.  In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge.  But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2. 
         1.  Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
         2.  Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
         3.  Close iMovie 9
         4.  Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
         5.  File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events.  Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.) 
         6.  Select the clips and import.  Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
    You may get a message that some files cannot be imported.  Click continue import.  It's a little glitchy.  It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too.  On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy.  In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
    Hope this additional information helps somebody else.  Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

  • Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2

    Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2, running Mountain Lion. I use trim then export but it doesn't give the movie option as a format. What would you suggest i do?

    I'm not sure why you're using a FAT32 drive, but using ExFAT instead of FAT32 would be a better overall choice as it doesn't have the 4 Gig limit.

  • I would like to know how to put my .mp4 music videos into the .....

    Hello
    I finally learned how to turn my music videos into a format that will play on my ipod and I am excited as **** about the whole thing. My one problem is I can't seem to put the music videos into the music video section. I would like to put my music videos in the music video section and I plan on making some of my favorite movies into .mp4 and keep them in the movies section. I would also like to know if I can have different folders for my movies? probably not eh? I guess they might just have to be in one big pile. That's ok I guess. So what's with the music video section? It would be nice to put them there. I guess while I am waiting for a response I am just going to convert the music videos and put them in the movies section..
    Also I would like to share what program I am using to convert the files .. it's called
    " WinAVI iPod/PSP/3GP/MP4 Video Converter "
    And it works great! Someone on my Facebook account told me about it. I tried to ask people here what I should use but I don't think I got a straight answer ( either that or I am mildly ******** or something )
    One more question. How to I put my pictures into separate folders on my ipod?
    Aaron

    Hi everyone !
    please forget about the pictures question because I figured that out ok !!
    I just need to know if it is possible to put my .mp4 music videos in the music video section of iTunes and my iPod. Like I said I want to just put full length movies in the movie section. And I would like to have my movies in maybe separate folders like I said. One for Anime, One for Animation ect ect ..
    ALSO I am wondering can I make my Windows Media Player Classic the default for .mp4 files? I tried to do that but it was giving me some weird error message
    when I try and make it the default for .mp4 I get this message
    " Windows Media Player Classic does not have enough privileges to change file formats. Please click on " Modify " button To Get Administrator rights. "
    Does this mean that only Apple programs should be used to view these files?

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    MPEG Streamclip.
    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

    I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos".  It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
    iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
    So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
    One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
    Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.
