1080x60p AVCHD to SD DVD -- how to do with CS3?

I have footage I shot in 1080x60p on a Panasonic HDC-TM700K
that I want to edit to produce a DVD that will play on any player.
I have yet to find a workflow that will successfully do this for me
without "interlacing artifacts" (I assume that is what they are --
I always thought that deinterlacing was the problem!).
Actually, there is one workflow that works -- if I use the software
included with the camera, Panasonic's HD Writer AE 2.1,
I get a very good SD DVD -- so what I want is possible.
However, that software is very limited in its editing capability,
and insists on burning its output directly to DVD from the original
camera files.  I need to do a lot of editing.
The only commercial software I have available for editing is
Premiere Pro CS3 -- which doesn't do AVCHD.  I have tried a variety
of approaches to producing an intermediate file that CS3 is able
to use as source material, for example, CineForm NeoScene.
However, once I render that to DVD MPEG2, I get what look like
interlacing artifacts.
How do I get there from here?
It really seems as if my big problem is "interlacing" going from
progressive source to interlaced (at half the frame rate).
I would think that this would be easy!

I think you need to convert to DV AVI type 2 with 16bit 48khz sound before using PPro

  • Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

    Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    NGI

    do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
    1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in   spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
    2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
    3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
    4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
    5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
         Type your password when prompted.
    6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
    7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
    8) Insert your DVD
    9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
    Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
    Note: to disable the debug menu,
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • Can I burn AVCHD project to DVD disc?

    I've read that AVCHD uses the DVD format.  Does this mean that the nice HD camcorder recordings I have will, after being processed by PE, show nicely on a wide screen television?  Does this question even make sense.

    AVCHD is High Definition, a DVD is Standard Definition
    For true AVCHD quality on a disc, you need BluRay (which Premiere Elements will do, if you have a BluRay burner)
    There IS a way to put "about" 20 minutes of HiDef on a BluRay, but it will NOT play in a DVD player, the disc will only play in a BluRay player

  • Feature Request: AVCHD Quality to DVD?

    Will Adobe Premiere Elements implement AVCHD quality video to DVD in an upcoming release?  Corel VideoStudio Pro X2 already has this great feature.  Video shot with my Panasonic HD250 camcorder looks fantastic using the AVCHD preset to DVD on VideoStudio Pro X2.  I wish Adobe Premiere Elements had this capability.

    Have you worked with Corel VideoStudio Pro X2?
    I have not. Other than Painter and WordPerfect (used this since it was WP Corp and version 1.1), I have not used any Corel programs, since CorelDraw 3.2, and never upgraded that. I know nothing about VideoStudio Pro - sorry. For me, PrPro does about 98% of everything that I want to do.
    You might want to also post to Muvipix, as many subscribers to that site use all sorts of other NLE programs. Here, there is more of a bias towards Adobe programs, though some do have other apps. as well.
    Good luck,

  • Tech Tool Deluxe DVD won't boot with 10.5.6. How to fix volume structure?

    Is it just my newbieness, or is the Tech Tool Deluxe 3.1.2 DVD image not bootable with late 2008 MBP with OS X 10.5.6?
    I installed Tech Tool Deluxe 3.1.2 to Leopard 10.5.6. - ran it and it said I have problems with my volume structures. I followed the download button, gave my serial and downloaded the TTD.dmg image, burned it to DVD with Disk Utility (seems OK, as I can read the disk in OS).
    When I try to boot from the DVD, it just reboots in a while to my OS X (tried with c and opt buttons during start-up. I can choose to boot from DVD with opt, but again it just reboots in a while).
    Apple mentions that this version of TTD is not compatible with Late 2008 models - is booting one of the incompatibilities? If so, fine, but how can I fix my volume structure problems now, that tend to hang my Mac every once in while with big disk operations?
    Thanks for any possible help.

    I had the same problem myself. The TechTool bootable products on DVD won't startup an October 2008 release MacBook or MacBook Pro.
    From the Micromat website:
    Our current bootable products support all PowerPC and Intel Macintosh computers capable
    of running Mac OS X 10.5 or greater, except for:
    • MacBook (October 2008 Release)
    • MacBook Pro (October 2008 Release)

    If these are new original DVD, you should bring your system in for alignment. If they are copied DVDs, the drive that made them may be out of alignment and your good drive can't read the bad copy.  There is also another issue you may be talking about. Many DVD movies are assigned a country code and will not run on a machine from another country.  This was intended to prevent piracy.

    Apple's iLife suite, which includes iMovie and iDVD will allow you to assemble, author and create a DVD movie disk. Toast Titanium can also do that.
    If money is no object, there's also Adobe's Premiere Pro Suite, and Avid.

  • I have 8mm family footage now on a DVD how can I import this material into imovie

    Can anyone help I have old 8mm footage of the family which is now on a DVD how can I import this onto imovie?

    You need to convert the DVD .VOB files. This can be done with Apps like Handbrake or I prefer MPEG Steamclip.
    Basically what you do is insert the DVD into the drive. If DVD Player opens, quit the player. Then double click the DVD on the desktop. There you will find a folder called Video_TS. The .VOB files are there. You do not need the Audio_TS files or Folder.  So what ever App you use, point them to that Folder and convert them to highest quality conversion.
    One thing to point out though about MPEG Streamclip, you need to have Quicktime 7 installed and additionally you need a file called QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. Make sure you read about it at the Squared 5 website under "Requirements". It may sound like alot of work, but once you set it up MPEG Streamclips works nice.
    Hope that gets you started.
    Additionally, if you have another machine around with Leopard or earlier, you may already have the MPEG-2 Playback Component. It would be located in /Library/Quicktime folder.

  • How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

    So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

    You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
    There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.
    You need to understand these two help pages:
    Adobe Encore * Menu timing and looping

  • How can I share the DVD on my iMac with a PC ?

    I have a tablet PC with no DVD and I would like to share the DVD on my iMac with the tablet PC.

    Thanks very much for your suggestion, but in the summary at the top of the page you mention we can read:
    "You can use a DVD or CD via another computer's optical drive by enabling DVD or CD sharing. You might want to do this if your Apple computer did not come with an optical drive and if you don't have an external Apple USB SuperDrive."
    Thus, I understand that the procedure explained there is to share a DVD on a PC with a Mac, but I want to do the oposite : to share a Mac DVD with a PC....
    I have read somewhere that Mac DVDs are not intended to be shared with Windows machines, but I have got no "official" (that is, Apple endorsed) confirmation of this...

  • Help on purchasing a dvd camcorder to work with imovie

    hello out there...was wondering which camcorder that has a dvd burner works best with imovie and osx...i want a sony, but i thought the small dvd's did not work on osx. presently, i have a digital8 and use a firewire connection to ingest video for editing with imovie. thanks for any help...

    ... boxes that holds DVD and hard drive recorders:
    These files are intended for "one time" captures.
    The file format is not intended for editing.
    I totally agree with your recommendation: try to avoid DVD and harddisk camcorders at this point if you plan to edit on a Mac. Not only is software support seriously lacking, those Mini-DVDs don't even work with slot-loading drives that are common on Mac's.
    But... there is nothing wrong with the MPEG-2 compression used on DVDs. Just look at HDV: It uses the same MPEG-2 compression to fit the the HD video into the space of a SD MiniDV tape. iMovie converts HDV video streams during capture into a format that is easier for editing - that's why the files on your harddisk are 4 times as big as the data on the tape. The quality of video captured by most consumer camcorders is more limited by the optics and the video sensor (in particular indoors, with less than perfect lighting), than the recording format and media. And yes, you can edit MPEG-2 just fine, it is just more challenging to get it working right.
    I used to tell all my friends to stay away from DVD camcorders, too, but then broke down and very reluctantly bought a DVD camcorder recently. It's mainly used for recording music lessons, with instant and repeated replay. It took me some tinkering to work out a good workflow for editing with iMove. I did some side-by-side comparisons with a similarly priced MiniDV camcorder (Canon DC50 vs. Sony TRV-33). Overall, the video clips were almost identical from either camcorder, with the DVD camcorder producing slightly better video in some situations. But as I said in the beginning, that is probably mostly a result of the better video sensor and the optical image stabilization in this particular model.
    So how does my workflow go:
    - Use DVD-RWs, formatted in Video-VR mode, and prefinalized. This allows
    you to pop out the DVD from the camcorder at any time and immediately
    use it in your DVD player or computer without another time-consuming
    finalization step.
    - Find a Windows PC to copy the video files from the DVD to my Mac.
    Mac OSX cannot read the filesystem used by Video-VR discs without
    additional software like Roxio's Toast (which I don't have). Besides, all
    my Macs are slot loading.
    - Convert the clip with the Quicktime MPEG-2 plugin and MPEG Streamclip
    to DV format.
    - Finally, import the clips into iMovie.
    Workable yes, but neither convenient nor esay. Stick with MiniDV.
