25P to DVD issues!!

When exporting my 25P show to DVD I don't get a very clean image. It problably gets lost in translation when going from 25P to 25i PAL. What can I do to make the DVD look good?

Are you talking about converting 1080p/25 -> 576p/25?
YES, except that I don't convert personally insofer as I export directly to DVD PAL in premiere (I assume premiere does the conversion then).
Also, please post a frame grab or two of your output (1080p + 576i) so I can see the type of problem you are having.
It's not the single frame but the fact I get a weird strobbing effect beyond what I get when viewing the footage progressively.

  • Toshiba Satellite L3** CD/DVD issue !!! Here is my solution. How about you?

    Hello everyone. Nowadays, I see on this forum people are discussing about the CD/DVD issues on L30/L300/L350. I would like to share my experience on this issue and hope everyone shares your experience as well.
    My laptop are Toshiba L30 PSL33 and Toshiba L300 PSLB2E. I am lucky that I have no problem with CD/DVD discs/drives as I can read/write/play CD/DVD smoothly. However, I used to have some problems with CD/DVD drive on my notebook. Here is my experience.
    1) Make sure there is no other CD/DVD softwares on your computer (except the orginal software from Toshiba). Especially to those who have been used to using Nero. If you have problems, try to remove Nero and test with the one supported by Windows
    2) If you still have problems, try to update the firmware of the DVD drive. It can be done by visiting the Toshiba Support Driver site (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/). Check what drive you have by looking at the Device Manager. Download the newest firmware from there and update your drive.
    3) My last solution. If you have Vista pre-installed, try to get a XP version on your computer and do not install any other software. Test/copy a CD by using windows writing tool to see whether the problem is solved or not.
    In my opinion. the main reasons you may encournter are: there are CD/DVD drives have XP firmware base and need to be updated so that they can be used in Vista; or there are software like Nero and PowerDVD are causing the conflict between the ACPI controllers (real and simulated).
    Hope this may help you all. If you have other experiences, please share with everyone.
    PS: Please excuse my language as I am not an English speaker.

  • New External DVD Issues

    New Computer:  HP Envy m6 Notebook PC
    New External DVD Drive:  LG SP60
    System:  Windows 8
    Issue:  I place a DVD movie into external drive and there is no "auto play" function and no queue for me to start or play the DVD movie.
    I have properly installed the external drive.  I have used the drive to install other items including my printer.  So it is not a mechanical or core function issue with the drive.  
    I was "forced" to download Cyberlink Media Suite; however, there is no button or queue to click to watch the DVD in the drive.  All items are related to burning a DVD.
    I have tried several other DVDs that are in excellent condition on a totally separate device.  So I know it is not a DVD issue.  
    In the "my computer" it shows that there is a movie but it also shows that there are 3 main files, all with additional subfiles.  None look like they are "clickable" to play the movie.
    I am searching for a simple one to two click process to play a DVD--not a process that requires several subscreen maneuvers.  
    Windows Media Player does not recognize the DVD movie either.  
    Help please . . . . 

    Hi,
    I would not allow external USB devices to run Auto Play because virus can come in to play. For Windows 8, WMP is not a good product to play DVD. The DVD Player on CyberLink suite should play DVD's for you. You can also use a free product called vlc, which can play nearly all video formats.

  • Satellite P200-1EE: HD-DVD issue: Unable to output video to external device

    I know this subject has been brought up before but after searching the web on and off for months now I still can't find a solution that works for me.
    The problem occurs when trying to use the Toshiba HD-DVD Player to play HD-DVD discs. The program starts but after reading the disc it displays the message +"Unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after ending the application."+ and will not play the movie. I'm not sure when this problem first started happening as I went a couple of months without using the HD-DVD feature but I know my laptop was capable of playing the DVD's on both the laptop's display and through the HDMI cable when I first got it just under a year ago.
    Toshiba's website mentions this problem and suggests updating the Realtek Audio drivers but I've updated several times now and there has been no change. I've also updated the HD-DVD Player software, also to no avail. The problem is the same regardless of how I try to output the video and occurs on any HD-DVD disc.
    I've read that PowerDVD may be a better choice for playing HD-DVD's but I'm rather reluctant to spend the money when it might not work so unless someone can guarantee this as a solution I don't think I'll be trying it.
    If anyone could suggest a solution that I haven't yet tried I'd be very grateful.

    >The program starts but after reading the disc it displays the message "Unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after ending the application." and will not play the movie.
    Today is your lucky day mate ;) I found a solution!

  • HD to Pal SD 16:9 DVD issues

    Hi all,
    I have searched the forums for days and can’t find the best solution; I’m having trouble creating a Good PAL 16:9 SD DVD from a HD Source. The issues I’m having is the DVD looks washed out and very soft, also the graphics look bad with lines through them like they are not resolved properly.
    I have being making DVD’s with compressor for about 5 years and I would be happy if I could get the same quality as when we used to shoot in DV.
    Below is my process:
    Shoot
    Sony EX3 Camera 1920x1080i50,
    Edit Timeline
    1920x1080i
    Prores 422,
    Pixel aspect ratio: Square pixels
    Field dominance: Upper
    I have tried all solutions on the forums such as turning on Frame control(combination of different setting), down converting in FCP first, down converting in Compressor first, tried CB instead of VBR.
    After days of testing, the best result I have had so far is to out put HD from fcp then get MPEG Streamclip to do the down convert then use compressor to make the DVD. This fixes the problem with the titles but not the soft focus issue.
    Also I’m checking these DVD’s on a full def Sony LCD and SD CRT. It does look better on the SD CRT but most of my clients have LCD’s.
    One thought I had is that my original footage uses square pixels but compressor changes it to 0.7031 Pal 601(16:9) I’m not sure what affect this is having on the quality of the DVD?
    I'm using FCP 7.02 and Compressor 3.5.2
    I would appreciate any help.(Plus I can’t wait til my clients get Blu-ray!)

    I've been having similar problems, and it appears as if us in PAL world seem to get hit harder with this, leading me to think that the problem is in the Upper Field Dominance of HD being sloppily converted to Lower Field Dominance of PAL DVD. Those in NTSC world start in upper and finish in upper field dominance.
    For the record, I'm using HDV 1080i 50 footage from our Z5's recording to flash card, ingested using Log and Transfer (with the Sony memory unit plug for FCP installed).
    Many people have put forward their suggestions for HD to DVD workflow. Almost all of them are from the US and don't have to worry about moving from one format to another with different field dominance. No one has been able to tell me where the change takes place... they just know it happens somehow. If you are going from FCP to Compressor to DVD SP, I think DVD SP is changing the dominance as it preps for PAL DVD. I don't know how hard the conversion is, but I don't like the idea of DVD SP doing it.
    I tried changing Compressor's settings to output in lower field dominance, btu all I got was unwatchable flicker.
    I tried a demo version of BitVice and it yielded the same results as Compressor (just poor quality when field dominance set to "Same as source" and unwatchable flicker when set to lower). This adds weight to my theory that the problem is in the field dominance conversion which I think is being done by DVD SP. Maybe if an expert on this field dominance can confirm or rule out my theory, I can move past this bump in the road.
    Has anyone tried moving projects over to the Adove suite and outputted via Encore?
    Cheers

  • Anyone know Disk Utility, Ignore Ownership, and disk image DL DVD issues?

    I am currently having issues with backup DVD's I burned using Disk Utility. I can put the dual layer DVD's in and the system reads them. When I try to pull a file off the Dual Layer DVD a circle with an X appears notifying me that I cannot copy the files to my desk top.
    When I check the DVD's permissions it reads Admin (me) read and write with the ignore ownership checkbox checked...which means I should be able to pull files off the DVD. The only way I can currently get information off the DVD is to duplicate the entire disk to a new folder by selecting the DVD while holding down the Cntrl key and selecting duplicate. I have had other issues with DVD's and disk images in Leopard....including having to eject either through disk utility or by selecting the image with the Cntrl key held down. Finder eject, keyboard eject, and the menu eject selections suddenly report that the disk is in use.
    The DVD's were burned by creating a dual layer dvd image through disk utility with the read/write option checked.
    After duplicating 2-3 disks, the system itself is unable to mount any more disks from the series of backups. When I look at disk utility it reads that the disk is not mountable. I have to restart my computer so the system can continue to read the backups.
    My Itunes disk backups are marked the same way (ignore ownership) with admin read/write privlages....I have no problem pulling files off these disks.
    I have tried both logging in as root and booting from an external drive...same problem. Is this some nasty Disk Utility bug? Is anyone else having bizarre permission related issues with Disk Utility and Disk Images.

    When you create the image in Disk Utility, did you
    change the 'Partitions' setting?
    If you leave it to read 'CD/DVD', it will create a ISO9660/UDF image.
    To be able to maintain permission and extended file attributes, you
    need to select 'GUID Partition Map'.
    I assume you used iTunes to create your music backup?
    It seems it creates the correct image type for you.
    Before sending this message, I actually created a single layer image,
    copied some files to it and gave additional permissions to other users on my system.
    Afterwards I copied the files to my Desktop, verifying that the attributes are still intact.
    Best regards
    (It took quite a while to burn this 4x DVD-RW Anyways, I hope I could help)

  • Burned DVD issues in DVD player not reading or music issues stop and start

    I'm a PC converted to a MAC (less than a month) and love it so far. I have been able to create and burn a DVD. The problem I'm having is one DVD player will not read the DVD (Hitachi). The other DVD player will play it, but the music stops and starts when it transitions (twirl) to another picture (Panasonic DVD/VHS combo). I'm using a DVD R Memorex. Neither one of the player are new. Would love to use this to make the Grandparent's a DVD of the grandchildren from birth to present as Christmas present. What do I need to use or do to be able to watch on any DVD player as well as the computers?
    Message was edited by: me01

    Hi me01
    Welcome to apple discussions. Try using 99 photos / less to avoid issues with audio fades / drops. Also do a search for Memorex on this forum and you'll see it's not the first choice of dvd's for most users. Instead try Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 4x from a disc image for best results. Wish you luck and feel free to post back with results or any further questions.

  • PAL DVD Issues

    I'm not sure if this question is for this forum but I'll give it a shot.
    My original FCP Project was an PAL HDV Project. Once I finished editing, I put the sequence in a DV PAL sequence, rendered it and outputted as a FCP file. I put that file in compressor to make a m2v PAL file. I took the file into DVD SP as a PAL project and burned it as a SD DVD on the G5.
    The DVD tested fine on a several DVD players.
    My problem is that I sent the DVD to Europe and they are experiencing major 'strobing' issues. I know there is some jitterness with HDV on motion scenes, but they are seeing constant strobing on their PAL DVD players. Am I doing something wrong. I took the DVD to a post house in Los Angeles, and it plays fine in their PAL systems. It actually play fine in my NTSC DVD player as well.
    There isn't much motion in the film, mostly interviews.
    Any clues of why this would happen?

    It was originally shot in PAL 1080i50 on a Sony Zu1. I am assuming that is true PAL.
    I made a DV PAL sequence first because the rendering time and conversion time to m2v files is much less.
    Is the DVD burner that are installed on G5's capable of burning true PAL DVD's? I have one of the original G5's.

  • Burn DVD Issue problem

    This is the Premiere forum.  You should ask in the Encore forum.

  • Pro training DVD issue

    just installed the whole fcp 2 on my imac and was hoping to start playing around with color. i have the peachpit pro training series book, but whenever i try to open the very first final cut file to send the clips to color i get this message 'file's format is too new for this version of the application' i've installed all the avaliable software updates. has anyone had this problem with the dvd?

    A) As Joe said.....
    a) Good luck with Leopard.
    I could say it's a Leopard thing but what else have you done to trouble shoot this? If you search around the FCP forum, you'll see a host of postings regarding the error message you're getting. You may want to trash your Final Cut preferences to start. Don't ask me how to do that, far more patient souls than I have posted the entire procedure on the FCP board, do a search.
    You could also try a permissions repair and even though you don't have any firewire issues, this could be the time for the Guinness Solution (search the FCP forum for that as well). It won't help your error message at all but it will put you in a better frame of mind.
    Good luck.

  • Mac Mini DVD issues with 3rd party player software

    New to the forum. I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and 256 SSD (Crucial) fitted and the latest version Yosemite OS. I get a slight jerkiness when playing DVDs from an external Panasonic UJ265 USB3 Blu-ray drive using either Aurora or Macgo software, however Blu-rays play fine and the jerkiness disappears with Apple's native DVD player. Any ideas what might be going on? Many thanks.

    I'm having a similar issue as well with my Mac Mini (Macmini 4,1) connected to an HP LP3065 via the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor. I also have a Dell 2407WFP connected via the the HDMI->DVI connector:
    Summary:
    When the Mac Mini wakes from sleep, the display for the Dual-Link DVI connection is set to the wrong resolution and cannot be modified in System preferences.
    Details:
    In my case, this manifests as a blank screen and flashing green power led on the HP, which is how the it indicates the display resolution is set to something other than 2560x1600. The Dell still wakes up, but is now in Mirroring mode. At this point, Displays system preference shows a generic "Display" with a resolution of "640x480", plus the HP2407, with no option to change the resolution for the generic Display)
    The only thing that seems to fix the problem is restarting the Mac Mini.
    This seems to happen about 30% of the time the Mac Mini wakes from sleep. The rest of the time, everything works fine. It's extremely annoying.

  • S205 drive D: & DVD issues

    Hello,
    Recently I started having issues with my Ideapad S205. I got a malware program that tried to force me to buy their software to remove it. In the process of trying to get rid of the problems it caused, I decided to use the Lenovo recovery key. The only option it gave me, was to go to the initial setup. Like a dummy I clicked on that and was taken back to day one. I subsequently found out that my back up partition did not work and I could not alter it so that it would work. I get constant error messages that I don't have enough room for a backup.
    My other issue is that I purchased the Lenovo DVD/CD player, and it worked fine for a while. Now when I try to install software or load a music file, It won't proceed after the initial spin up and disk content window. The only thing I have been able to do with it, is to view a backup photo disk that I made some time ago.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Joe

    Hello Yigit,
    I just hooked my Lenovo USB portable DVD burner model DB50, up to my Lenovo desktop and ripped a music CD (something it would not do with the Ideapad), and it worked fine.
    As far as the D: drive, here is what it says when you go to the "manage windows backup space " folder.
    Data file backup      4.51GB
    System Image     15.38 GB
    Other files               1.60 GB
    Free space             7.51 GB
    Total size              29.00 GB
    When I click on the "Change settings", I can click on "Let windows manage the space" or "Keep only the latest image", and it doesn't make any difference. If I "select a backup period to delete" it only shows the 4.51 GB data file as an option. I can click "refresh" and the next time it tries to do a backup, I'll get the same error message.
    My gut feeling is that there are some corrupted driver files, but trying to find the right files on the Lenovo website to download is like trying to find a precise grain of sand on the beach, at least for me.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • T43 CD/DVD ISSUES

    Ok this may be a small issue for someone - I'm hoping anyway. I recently removed my CDRW/DVD drive which would no longer write data and replaced it with a DVD-Multi drive from a T60 series. Now the T43 wont recognize the drive. It sees it as a straight CD-ROM. There are places within the computer that I see it as a DVD-RAM but it's not fully recognized. I can use the drive via other programs such as real player, nero etc. however Windows media player only see's it as a ROM drive and I have no drag and drop capability anymore. I've tried updating drivers etc, and something is still wrong. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just an update, I can see it on mydevices now as a DVD-RAM Drive -however - no drag and drop capability nor does Windows Media Player See it.

  • IMovie to DVD issues

    Hello,
    I am new to using iMovie and wondered if someone could help me with the following issues:
    1- I have inmported my video clips into iMovie and sorted them out, the file size of them all is 17gb, which i was told i can get to fit on 1 DVD, i was told a good method was to use the shre to quicktime option which would reduce to a dvd, but i dont seem to have this option. I have tried it with iDVD but this says that the movie format is incorrect even thought its come straight from iMovie.
    2- If i use iDVD is there anyway to get just straight video without the menu systems?
    3- basically i wanna know the best way to get my raw footage onto a dvd?
    thanks for any help offered.
    1.8ghz G5 iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    1- There is a Send to iDVD option in iMovie, which you should use. Optionally, you can quit iMovie, open the iMovie project folder and drag the .mov file onto iDVD.
    2- What's the fuzz about the menu system? There are many posters asking about that. Haven't you ever played a commercial DVD?  ;-)
    Anyway, you can customize the DVD. I use a still from the movie as a background and just two buttons: "Play movie" and "Select chapter". See the iDVD tutorial included in iDVD.
    3- That depends on what you mean. "Raw footage" as in still editable (which you can't watch on TV)? Or a compressed movie that you can't edit, but can watch on TV?
    In the former case, I use Toast. In the latter iDVD.

Maybe you are looking for
