AVCHD Format Convert to DVD

Can Compressor 4 convert an AVCHD format to DVD format?  Or is there another suggested program that will work?
I have video of my wedding that I need to get off my camcorder and am looking into options of how to accomplish this on my iMac. 

Yes.

    I don't find it difficult to try but some have said that it is. YMMV.
    I know how to use it and do all the time, it's just hard to do it 'blind'.

  • How do I convert a DVD to a format suitable for a Digital Download?

    I need guidance as to the best way to convert a DVD to a format suitable for a digital download. I am a web developer not a video expert, I only have access to Premiere Pro as a Creative Cloud subscriber. I'm not even sure if this is the best application to do what a need to do.
    My client sells books some of which have accompanying DVD's, she wants me to convert these to a format that can be downloaded. I don't have the original files, just the DVD's themselves to work with.

    Change steps 2 and 3 to your preferred web format.

  • Trouble burning a DVD using AVCHD format

    I recently completed about a 19 minute video project (photos and short video clips), and I was able to burn it to a DVD at standard quality using Premiere Elements 10.  When I try to burn to AVCHD, though, I get an error just before it's ready to start burning.  It encodes all of the media and just switches to the Burn menu when "Error" pops up.  There isn't any other explanation.  I've also tried to burn to a folder and I get the same result.
    I've used Premiere Elements 10 for 4 years doing this same type of project, and I've been able to burn to AVCHD successfully in the past.  Any ideas why it's no longer working?
    Computer specs:  Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop, i5 processor, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive w/ 770 GB free.
    I appreciate any help.

    Premiere Elements 10 Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit). Just to get it out of the way...what video card/graphics card does your computer use? If NVIDIA GeForce, please stop and let us know immediately.
    Have you found that this issue is confined to this particular project with its particular Timeline content? Can you start a new project and get a successful
    burn to AVCHD format on DVD disc with the same or other Timeline content?
    Let us go through the drill of deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, and, if that does not work, then the hold 10.0 Folder in which it exists.
    Local Disc C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    10.0
    and in the 10.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 10.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path cited. The path to Folder Options starts with File Explorer in Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    Depending on your answers, this issue may take us into a deeper look into the Timeline content construction. But, the answers will be in the details. Let
    us see what they tell us.
    Thank you.

  • How do I convert my DVD home movies (NTSC format) to mpeg 4 format??

    3 yrs ago I had my home movies (super 8) onto DVDS (NTSC format.
    I would like to convert to mpeg4 so that I can import into imovie and Quicktime player 10
    I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6

    I would recommend that you convert the DVDs to Apple Intermediate Codec, then edit your movies, then share the final movie in mpeg4 (h.264). This will preserve the most quality. However, the method I will describe will also work to convert your DVD directly into MPEG4.
    1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
    2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
    3) Start MPEG Streamclip
    4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
    5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
    6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
    7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
    8) Use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
    9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
    9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
    (let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
    9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
    10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
    11) Open iMovie.
    12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
    13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

  • Converting AVCHD Format with FCPX

    I just purchased my first "Prosumer" level camera and it records in AVCHD format.  Do I need to get a third party software program to convert my footage to Pro Res or does FCPX do this automatically when I import my footage.  Still usung FCPX 10.0.9
    Thanks,
    Jon

    You don't need a third party converter. FCP X will now open and work with the native media.

  • Will the AVCHD format from the Lumix FZ100 work with iMovie?

    I'm looking to buy a camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ100, but was wondering if the format AVCHD works with iMovie? I intend to use it for vlogging and don't want it to overcomplicate things..
    Thanks

    Does this from Matti Haveri help?
    To convert a DVD or MPEG to DV with MPEG Streamclip (v1.5.1 or later):
    Open a desired .VOB on a DVD (DVD/VIDEOTS/VTS_011.VOB, for example) or a MPEG file. Select the In/Out points if you want to extract just a portion of the video. Choose "File/Export to DV.../Compression: DV (DV25)".
    Choose "Split DV stream in Segments" if the content is more than 9 minutes 27 seconds because iMovie 1-4 can't reliably handle longer clip files and it might be a good idea to limit the converted .dv file's size anyway (segmented clips play seamlessly in iMovie).
    MPEG Streamclip can optionally resample audio to 48 kHz which DV (and DVD) use (use this option when converting (S)VCD 44.1 kHz audio for DV).
    Other settings can usually be at their defaults. Sometimes you have to check whether the input/output is PAL or NTSC.

  • How to burn a AVCHD format file to disc

    I have been unable to burn a DVD disc with the AVCHD format using the sharing options of Premiere Elements (version 11). There is an error message of "media not present."
    The program burn option only worked for a DVD format output, which yields poor relative quality.The original source file imported into elements was  an AVCHD (with a .BDM file). I have also tried various name brands of DVD-r or +r media with no resolution.
    Alternatively I have tried the save to folder workaround option which generated a ".F4V" file. I have been unsuccessful to convert/burn to disk (last attempt using a 3rd party utility ended with a low quality DVD).
    Does anyone have solutions or ideas on how to resolve my issue. Many thanks.

    Great news tht the AVCHD on DVD burn to folder (4.7 GB) worked.
    However, here is the basic path to stay with....
    Although you may see references to a CERTIFICATE FOLDER needed along with the BDMV Folder, ignore that. The AVCHD DVD burn to folder comes only with the BDMV Folder. ImgBurn should create a CERTICATE FOLDER for your AVCHD DVD when burned there.
    1. Open ImgBurn and select the category "Write files/folders to disc".
    2. In the page that opens, go to the File Menu/Browse for a Source Folder and browse to the BDMV Folder from the AVCHD DVD burn to folder. Select only the BDMV Folder, using the Select Folder option in the dialog.
    3. Click on the Build button at the bottom of the dialog to initiate the process. At the onset, you will probably we hit by program messages saying that it detects a BDMV Folder and asks if you want it to reset for Blu-ray disc. Answer No. Do not let it reset to Blu-ray disc. If it wants to do volume labels for you, it is OK to say Yes.
    The final setting that worked for me for playback with my CyberLink computer player were:
    Data Type: MODE1/2048
    File System(s): ISO9660, UDF (1.02)
    I think that I have covered all the dos and do not's, but, if any problems, please let me know. I have road tested this, so it should be OK.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

  • Panasonic HDC-SD9, AVCHD format & iMovie

    The HDC-SD9 Panasonic is a high definition camcorder that records in the AVCHD format. Bear with me as I try to explain in layperson terms my question. I then created several Imovie events by removing the SD card from the camera and using a memory card reader to upload. I then created a separate Imovie Project by taking footage from various Events. I tried to copy the project onto a new SD card, place the SD card back in the camera and play the recording. However, the camera indicates "no data" on the card. So, a couple of questions: 1) Is this because the HD camera cannot read the Imovie codec? 2) What format/codec does Imovie convert the AVCHD to? 3) If I burn the project to a double-layered disk in High Definition will it play on a Blu-Ray DVD or a DVD that can read a high definition disk? 4) Bottomline is that I would like to edit the AVCHD footage captured on the Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder, burn to a disk and play it on a DVD player. Is this possible?

    As you discovered, you cannot move a finished movie back to your camera for playback.
    For playback on an Apple TV, shore using the LARGE preset, and you will get a 960x540 file that looks really good on a high definition TV if it has upscaling circuitry, because this is a simple upscale to 1920x1080.
    If you want to burn a movie in full 1920x1080, there are several options.
    1) You can create it using iMovie's "Export using Quicktime" feature and watch it on your Mac. Use a 24" iMac for best results. It will use the entire screen.
    2) Same as #1 except you can watch it on a Sony Playstation 3.
    2) You can get Toast 9 with BluRay plug in and burn up 20 minutes or so of movies to a standard DVD. It might be more with a dual layer DVD but I have not tried it. Create your movie and export it using Quicktime in AIC or h.264 and the burn in Toast. Most BluRay players will read the DVD.
    3) If you have a BluRay burner, you can use Toast 9 to burn multiple movies up to theatrical length and maybe more.

  • QuickTime video to AVCHD format

    I recently purchased a Sony Blu-Ray / DVD Recorder (VBD-MA1).

  • Final Cut Studio 2 and Sony SR1e | AVCHD Format

    Hi,
    I'am new to this forum and can't find any useful information regarding the support of the AVCHD-Format used by Sony's SR1e.
    So does the latest Final Cut Studio 2 support the .mts AVCHD Format by the SR1E?
    I see Sony in the partner list, but the cam is not on the device list.
    I found some scripting and complicated ways to convert the .mts to mpeg, but maybe there is a smarter solution out there?
    Or is it really true, that I have to use the Nero Burning Application on Windows to convert the AVCHD's instead of the latest Final Cut Studio editing software?
    btw: Squared 5's Streamclip Software is not able to convert the .mts files.
    Kind Regards, Carlo

    Not sure about FCS2 but you do have options with a capture card and bring in to FC in many different codecs. Depending on your computer you could use a Black Magic Intensity card for the all digital HDMI port on this camera and bring it in as DVC PRO HD and edit in an all digital all I frame codec. Even if Apple comes out with support for this AVCHD you may still want to avoid it as most HDV shooter/editors do.

  • How do I convert my DVD's to iPod

    How do I convert my DVD movies with Quicktime so I can watch them on my iPod?
    I don't see any options in QT, where is it buried?
    I'm not going to spend any money for the Pro version until I see how it works.
    Many Thanks

    To convert a DVD for iPod use, you'll need to use third-party software.
    You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
    Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
    Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software.
    PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.
    Many other titles have been mentioned in this forum. Your question gets asked, and answered, a lot.

  • I had old 8mm converted to dvd then used "Rip It" then imported to iMovie. My problem: in the event library a complete person is shown, in the project the top of their head is missing. How can I fix?

    I had old 8mm movies converted to dvd. I then used "rip it" and imported to imovie. In the event library a complete person is shown on a clip. However, when I move that clip to the project the tops of peoples heads are missing in the playback. I have used standard (4:3) because the cut is lower in widescreen. How do I fix this problem?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • How can I get movies from my sony DSC-HX9V in AVCHD format to the mac?

    I have recently received a Sony DSC-HX9V camera. It does movie recordings in AVCHD format. Is there a simple way to transfer these to imovie or elsewhere on my Mac? Any ideas please. Thank you.

    Take a look at this compatibility chart:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    and read the notes re. your model. So, the next best thing then would be MPEG Streamclip (free) which should be able to convert your footage to something iMovie can work with. Note: You may need to purchase the MPEG2 Playback Component from the Apple Store (less than $20) which may be needed (that depends on a) your OS version and b) the MPEG Streamclip version).

  • Can iMovie edit and save in AVCHD format?

    I'm interested in getting the Sony hdr-cx550v camcorder and I was wondering if I will have any compatibility issues with my MB Pro

    iMovie can neither edit or export AVCHD, but then it doesn't need to. It will import AVCHD and convert it into AIC which is an editable format, it will then export to AVC which can be played on the majority of modern devices. Unless you have some specific purpose to create AVCHD content Im not sure why you would want to.
