1920 x 1080 to a DVD

I have been using standard definition cameras at the school I teach at. We recently updated to Sony HD cameras and am having problems exporting longer videos to IDVD. I have a video shot in 1920 x 1080. The video is approximately 2 hours long. I want to dump it onto a Dual Layer DVD using IDVD. I am using Final Cut Pro 7. When I export out of Final Cut the file size is almost 90 GB and it won’t fit on a DVD. Since 2 hour movies can be stored on a professional  DVD I was hoping someone can explain what  I need to do to compress this enough without losing too much quality? Do I change the capture setting to a lower quality? If so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Unless you are exporting using QT conversion the 90GB file represents your sequence settings in FC which is most likely what you shot on the Sony Camera in this case HD.
Be aware that unless you are creating a Blu-Ray disc at some point you (or the program you use) will be converting your 1920 (HD) footage to SD. There is no other HD options.  You can create simple Blu-Ray discs in Compressor but outside of that all Mac options (excluding Adobe Encore) are essentialy SD.
IDVD & DVD Studio Pro (all SD DVDs) convert and/or work with MPG-2 & AC3  or uncompressed audio files. These files are either made during the build/burn process or could be made with Compressor.
These files are considerably smaler than the export from FC. Size will be dependent on the compression settings you choose or IDVD may have a make it fit setting when you choose single or dual layer export.
Converting your HD movie to SD before exporting from FC could also be another option.
Another thing to be aware of:

  • How to export 1920 X 1080 for wide screen viewing on DVD?

    I want to export 1920 X 1080 video so I can make a DVD and watch on a widescreen TV without stretching. What settings do I use? Tried several. Not working. I'm on a deadline and got to get this done right. Thanks for any help. Just looking for the export settings.

    If you are just making it for yourself, check to see if your DVD player supports any of the various HD on DVD(Divx, etc) technologies and go from there. If you are looking for a more universal solution to HD on DVDs, there is not one.

  • Tips for Exporting 1920 X 1080 HD for use in iDVD?

    I have a Canon HF20 and noticed that exporting from iMovie '08 using Share >Media Browser or Share > Export Movie limits you to 960 X 540. I used iDVD to create a DVD of the 960 X 540 movies and had good results, but I am wondering if the 960 X 540 ratio is truly HD? And would going to the 1920 X 1080 via Export Using Quicktime make a significant difference? I would like to try using Export Using Quicktime and then using iDVD to burn an HD DVD, but I am wondering if someone can tell me what the settings within the Options should be in terms of the following:
    Compression Type
    Frame Rate
    Compressor Quality
    Encoding
    Data Rate
    And then Under Export Size Settings
    Dimensions
    Preserve Aspect Ratio
    Deinterlace Source Video
    And any other settings that are going to help me achieve the best results for exporting 1920 X 1080 and burning to DVD via iDVD?

    Hi
    *Movie editors*
    • iMovie HD 6, iM'08 & 09 - might work to do the editing
    I prefere when reaching for pro-quality FinalCut but observ that Express only
    handles 25/50 and 29.97/60 fps.
    So if You are thinking 1920 x 1080 24 fps - ONLY as far as I know option is
    FinalCut Studio Pro. Which can do this !
    *DVD burning programs*
    • NO version of iDVD can handle HD yet - up till iDVD 09
    *Options are*
    • DVD Studio pro in FinalCut Studio Pro bundle (me guessing - but feeling safe)
    • Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl Blue-Ray component - Can do this

  • Does iMovie'08 import 1920 x 1080 at 1440 x 1080

    After some thought the subject (Sony HDR SR11 resolution) of my last post yesterday may include all HD camcorders with 1920 x 1080 resolution. when iMovie'08 imports the files they are saved as quicktime movies. When played in quicktime and the details looked at in Movie Inspector (quicktime/window/show movie inspector) the format is shown as Apple Intermediate Codec 1440 x 1080,
    Does iMovie'08 import 1920 x 1080 at 1440 x 1080 and then output it at 1920 x 1080 ?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Look at this very interesting link about H.264 CODEC and web compression:
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/qt_h-264_moviesfcp.html
    As WEB involves many compression and smaller frame sizes, the quality will be on par for both formats.
    iDVD will accept HD sequences movies from FCE but it will convert them to standard definition as it cannot output (authoring and burning) high def blu-ray DVD.
    Look at this link (altough you don't have ProRes codec with FCE package...) about HDV limitation for DVD usage:

  • Burning AVCHD footage in full HD (1920 X 1080)?

    I am trying to burn AVCHD footage (taken with a SONY CX7) imported in Full HD in iMovie 08. I would like to burn in Full HD (1920 X 1080) so that I can play the results on a Bluray player. My choices with Mac and iMovie 08 seem limited to 960 X 540. On a PC and using SONY Motion Picure Browser I can burn in Full HD easily. Should I not be able to do the same with iMovie 08? I am new to iMovie, I love the interface and the very smooth scene transitions (compared to XP and SONY MPB) but so far the better resolution of XP/MPB generated footage really makes a difference when viewed on a 46" LCD monitor. Is there a solution?

    latan -
    This is the 'gotcha' that got me and for over a week no one responded to my exact question you are asking...I'll save you the grief of asking this same question repeated times on several different Mac forums. After over a week of investigating, reading and learning more about HD video, I realized that iMovie only allows you edit, not burn.
    Burning is done through iDVD and iDVD DOES NOT BURN HIGH DEF VIDEO.....PERIOD....or specifically, does not "author" HD video.
    When you export to iDVD, it will only encode/transcode/convert (what ever you want to call it) into standard DVD format...aka for 480p/i playback. Kind of a bummer and almost useless to 'support' HD video if you can't produce a high def video for distribution...after all, that's the whole hook with the iLife suite....right?
    After some more investigation I found a few interesting solutions.
    1.) Roxio Toast.
    --> According to the product information. It allows you to burn videos to BluRay. However, I'm still trying to figure out if that means "produces" bluray content or just allows you to burn an already-made composition to BluRay disk.
    2.) DVD Studio Pro 4
    --> DSP 4 can take several different video formats/resolution and author them into an HD DVD format.
    However, this is a pro-level application and far too complicated and expensive for just HD burning.
    3.) MovieFactory 6 Plus for Windows
    --> MF 6+ can actually take your HD video and burn an HD DVD or BluRay format disk onto a standard DVD or DVD DL that will play in either type of player (depending on format). About 40 - 45 minutes of HD video will fit on a DL disk.
    However, since this is a Windows program, you'd also have to run Parallels or some other Windows virtualization to run it. I don't know if MF6+ is compatable with AVCHD format.
    Of course, any of these options would require you to have a high-def capable player (hd-dvd or bluray player). Possibly a cheaper option is a used mac-mini connected to your TV and use it as a media server. Just copy the files over to the mini and use it as a player.

  • How do you segment a long project and preserve HD 1920 x 1080 pixels at each step?

    I'm shooting video with a Canon HF S10 in the maximum quality (1920 x 1080 i) mode.  The resulting files in AVCHD format are coming into the computer and into Elements 7 okay.  The desired  Project output is BluRay.  I want to maintain the full image quality (1920 x 1080) end-to-end (lesser quality is okay on the timeline if that all that is available).  My current project is about 65 minutes long--future ones could be two hours or more.  All the 100+ trimmed clips and transitions are on the timeline.  Saving the Project file seems to work, but re-opening the Project takes a long time and doesn't always work.  Rendering this long timeline ulitimately freezes/crashes.  When the Project was much shorter, the save and reload cyle worked okay.
    Per Steve's book a work around is to break the project into pieces around 10 minutes long, render and save them to AVI files, reload and merge the AVI files into a new "Master" Project and then render the whole thing to BluRay(?).  Better yet he suggests outputing to a folder and burning the disc with other software.  But Elements does not output BluRay to a folder.  And when I experimented outputing with AVI segment files, quality dropped a lot suggesting that the 1920 x 1080 is not preserved in AVI format.
    It appears that:
         AVI files are just the DV 720 x 480 image quality of mini DV tape
         Output to a folder in BluRay image format is not available
         Elements 7 does not support breaking an HD 1920 x 1080 timeline into segments for long projects
    Any ideas will be appreciated.  Canon does supply a crude editing software package that is claimed to do simple cuts and transitions and produce a file that can be loaded back into the HF S10 memory for playback (distributing product on SD cards instead of BluRay is a novel possibility).  I'd prefer to use Elements or a similar software product that takes me start to finish without losing any pixels.
    Finally, I have a backlog of several long projects using HDV tape as a source.  I want those to go to BluRay too, but not giving up any of the 1440 x 1080 pixels.  I think the same limitations above apply to HDV.
    After waiting several years to get this end-to-end capability, it is disappointing to find it still seems to be out of reach (maybe is just hidden).
    Sometime soon, I hope Steve will write an edition that deals exclusively with the end-to-end HD (1920 x 1080) work flow including best scaling of still images, storage of image files and output to BluRay and creating slide shows using all the HD pixels (no SD compromises) again on BluRay.  That of course means Adobe may need to add some tweaks in Elements 8.
    Terry 9391
    PS, my PC is using an Intel Core 2 Quad processor, Vista OS, 4 GB of memory, has access to several TB of HD, and a couple of GB of Ready Boost memory (does this really help?) and a 1920 x 1200 monitor.

    You could export each section as 1920x1080 MPEG2 using the Share>Personal Computer>MPEG option then selecting the MPEG2 1920x1080i export Preset.
    You can also export as AVI... however this will be uncompressed AVI with a file size of over 1GB per minute... File>Export>Movie then in Settings under General>File Type select Microsoft AVI (not Microsoft DV AVI). Then in Video>Compressor select None, in Frame Size set 1920x1080 and in PixelAspect Ratio select Square Pixels.

  • Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt connection

    Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt adapter?

    The 1080p and 1080i options only appear on the HDMI display settings, the display settings for the thunderbolt to vga adaptor has 1920 x 1080.
    Via the HDMI output of the Mini via an HDMI cable to a HDMI input on the Samsung the display fills the screen but the text looks vile.
    The options for picture adjustement on the samsung include fill screen as you suggest
    Using the thunderbolt to VGA adaptor the text looks as it should, crisp and clear but the display is shitfted to the right.
    The options for picture adjustment on the Samsung does not have the 'fill screen' option available when the VGA input is selected. However a new option called 'pc screen adjustment' appears and you can nudge the display over to the left a bit but not enough to cover the whole screen.
    I remind you the pc worked perfectly 1920 x 1080 on the same VGA cable and input to the samsung.

  • Full HD (1920 x 1080) through Apple digital AV Adapter not working on iPad 2 running  iOS 5.1.1

    Hi,
    can anybody shed some light on this?
    I remember being able to play back FULL HD (1920 x 1080) clips with the AVPlayer-HD app with iOS 4.x
    Now, running iOS 5.1.1 it does only play back up to 1280 x 720.
    Also, the quality of the mirrored iPad2 screen looks as if it was a composite connection only, very unsharp.
    This was diferent - much better before. I used to do presentations like this.
    If this is an iOS5.1.1 problem, does someone know a way to downgrade to older versions without jailbreaking it?
    All the best,
    theunknown_uwe

    It works just fine with me (5.1.1, iPad 3 (I don't think the iPad 2 is any different), latest AVPlayerHD, MP$ hardware playback). What do you see in the center of the screen when you tap the TV icon on the center right, right under the speed lever? 1920 * 1080 just like in the screenshot below? (When the res is left at VGA, the print would be 640 * 480):

  • FCP7  -1920 x 1080 photo  mismatch timeline issue

    I have DSLR still photos shot at 1920x1080 (16:9)  ratio
    Photoshop confirms the dimensions-- and also square pixels. (72dpi)
    If I create a timeline in FCP7   choosing  a 1920 x 1080   preset (HDTV)...
    ---when I place the photo on the timeline--   it does not fit the frame.  Black bars on each side.
    So , my quesiton is   --Why?   the dimensions are the same----  so I think it should fill the frame perfectly.
    To further confound the situation -- If I create a colored test jpeg in photoshop 1920 x 1080 (square pixels  72 dpi)  and drop that in the FCP7 timeline-- it fills the  frame perfectly.
    So my 1920x1080 DSLR stills and my 1920x1080 test photoshop jpeg  (identical specs as far as I can see...)  behave differently in FCP7....
    Any help appreciated.
    TD

    Click on one of your imported pictures in the FCP browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the properties for the clip. Either report those properties here or take a screen shot and post the screen shot of the item properties here.
    Next, click anywhere on you sequence timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see the Sequence Settings. Either report the Sequence Settings here or take a screen shot and post the screen shot of the Sequence Settings here.

    Does this mean the actual pixel dimensions are not 1920 x 1080, but are in the 16x9 ratio?
    FCP7 has a limit of dealing with still images - they can be no wider than 4000 px in the widest dimension.

  • I get 1888 x 1062 and not 1920 x 1080 with preset HDV 1080i

    I have a QT movie in the Animation codec sized 1920 x 1080. Using QuickTime 7 Pro, if I export it to the Apple Intermediate Codec having set the compressor preset to HDV 1080i it produces a movie sized 1888 x 1062. Why?
    Thank you!

    Thank you. I see that with aperture set to "Production" it does show the black frame making it up to 1920 x 1080.
    When I import HDV 1080i video from my camera to Final Cut Express the files on the scratch disc are Apple Intermediate Codec. However they do not have this black frame and the size is 1920 x 1080. So it looks like FCE is not respecting this standard.

  • Why does 1920 x 1080 sequence export as 1888 x 1062 quicktime?

    can any one tell me why when i export a 1920 x 1080 sequence using Export Size Option Preset "HD 1920 x 1080 16:9" i get a quicktime that is 1888 x 1062?
    thanks

    i did another test. if i use the preset "1920 x 1080 HD" (which is different than the preset "HD 1920 x 1080 16:9" - both are in the pull down export size option list), i get a quicktime that is 1920 x 1080.
    still, i am curious what is happening there....

  • Quicktime Export 1920 x 1080

    Hi
    Using CS5 Master Collection.
    I am giving my finished output to someone who is doing color correction for me.  The source is 1920 x 1080, (1.9), 29.97 fps Progressive.
    They want a quicktime format.  Not an AVI.
    I am looking at the Export Settings for QuickTime and I only see 720 x 480, in various flavors.
    Certainly there must be a way in premiere to export to Quicktime 1920 x 1080????
    I assume there are plenty of threads here, but thought I'd start from scratch and get some recommended "best practices" for this issue.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Good day to you all.
    I'm having real problems exporting to Quicktime but I'm in the UK and obviously the format is PAL rather than NTSC, but I'm not sure if that affects the QuickTime settings.
    I'm using PPro CS5 and I have downloaded the AVID codecs, mentioned above, and I can see them in the Video Codec menu.
    My source file is:
    Format: .avi
    Frame rate: 25
    Duration: 5m 30s
    Size: 720 x 576 (1.4587)
    Audio: 48000Hz - 16 bit - stereo
    I want to output this to play on iPads, Macs, etc. in the UK. Which setting should I be using as I have gone around in ever decreasing circles and keep getting the "Error compiling movie", "Unable to create or open output file" dialogue.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

    I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

    I am having the same problem, which I can explain a little better: A clip which is actually 29.97 fps (verified using QT properties) is importing as 1/2 framerate, or 14.985 (rounded up to 14.99) fps. This happens with several of my clips, regardless of the import method used (drag/drop from OS, right-click/import, or use Media Browser). I cannot interpret the footage back to 29.97, as doing so doubles the speed of the audio (an interview) making it unusable.

  • Hd 1920 by 1080

    i got footage shot on a canon HD and the properties is H.264 Decoder, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz with 29 fps
    i exported that footage using mpegstreamclip to change it to apple pro res 422 and change frame rate to 25 fps and maintaining the size and adding 16 to 9 in the setting.
    what is worrying me that this footage after editing will be aired on a usual tv-Pal 720 by 576.
    what is the best way to put it so i don't have to find it cropped at the end.

    Check with the network to see if they want letterboxed or anamorphic footage.  In addition what format are you delivering on?  File or physical media?
    Without more details I suggest you drag one of your converted clips onto the timeline and select YES to update the sequence settings.  Edit.  Export that using Current Settings.  Create a new sequence with your delivery settings (720x576) and drop the exported QT movie onto this sequence.  When you drop it in pick NO to retain the settings you plugged in.  If you do it this way you will have an HD version for archival and the SD version to send to the network.
    As for going from 30 to 25 frames, I don't have good advice for that.  I got some PAL in recently and went through Motion's Optical Flow to get it to 30 fps.  Looks great, but it took forever.
