Big problems exporting to DVD

Hi
I have a 55 min sequence that I'm trying to export using the DVD settings in compressor. I have tried all the options but keep getting the same problem. Either DVD studio pro tells me the format is incompatible or the movie file is incomplete. I have tried all the options in compressor but keep having problems and I really need to get this project completed.
The sequence is pretty normal, the same as I have done before without any problems so not sure where I am going wrong. Is there a work around? Perhaps exporting as a QT movie then re-compressing for DVD.
Any help would be grateful, I've posted on Compressor forum and it was suggested to double check settings.
Many Thanks
Adrian.

Hi David
Thanks again for replying. I've been using the DVD preset settings of best quality 90min. (Mpeg 2 6.2mbps 2-pass, Dolby digital professional 2.00) Although I have tried the fastest encode preset resulting in the same problem.
Incidentally, I have used magic bullet filters for the first time on the sequence, would that contribute to the problem?
Also, if I go down the exporting to Quicktime route and then re-import, do I then use the same DVD preset settings and will there be a drop in quality?
Thanks, in anticipation
Adrian

  • Resolution problems exporting to DVD

    I am brand new to FCP 5 and everything I have learned has been within the past two weeks. I have read MANY posts on resolution settings, square pixels vs. retangular pixels, iDVD problems, exporting problems, etc. However I have not found an answer to my problem, but many helped.
    I am currently trying to project video from a DVD. The projection needs to be an EXACT size. After exporting and viewing with projection in QT Fullscreen, the video is exactly what I want.
    However, when I burn a DVD using iDVD and project it from a DVD player, the projection is slightly stretched horizontally. Why is that?
    The sequence is originally from HD and the export settings are -
    -Frame Size: 640x480 (4:3)
    -Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1440x1080
    -Exported using QT Conversion NO COMPRESSION
    (There are many other combinations of frame size and pixel aspect ratio's that also work initially, but they project with the same problem.)
    I had to have missed something.
    ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    The footage did come from an HDV from Sony.
    I use QT Conversion because if I export it as an QT Movie, the video is distorted. However, when exported through Quicktime conversion/quicktime movie/no compression, the movie is exported in the correct dimensions, though the DVD play back issue still persists.
    I am running off of iDVD v 5.0.1 and could not find a place where I could choose a 16:9 option, if that is what you meant.
    The sequence does include a PSD mask which was imported as a Layered Graphic Sequence. That shouldn't have any impact on the burning issue though.

  • Big problems exporting a video in Media Encoder - detailed info

    Problems with exporting media through Adobe Media Encoder.
    Hi there.  I am really confused now, writing this, cause my Premiere CS4 has worked pretty good the year I have had it.
    So it has chosen a really bad timing to cause me problems.
    I am working on a big musicvideo production. The whole video is now finished, and the labels and the artists are waiting for the video. But I’m facing big problems now. And I have tried everything to solve this, without succeeding.
    ·         When I export the video, the Adobe Media Encoder sometimes waits and waits and waits and waits, and nothing happens.
    Screen shot:
    ·         When it does start, if goes to about 20%, and then it interrupts and give me "an unknown" error in the log-file:
    Screen shot:
    ·         Sometimes when I open the project , it gives me the following message when importing the media files.
    Screen shot:
    ·         The weird thing is that this only happens to the HD version. I have the same video in DV version, in a DV project, and it exports without any problem.
    So PLEASE help me here, what shall I do??? I MUST finish this video!

    And here is my log-file with all the attempts I've tried with different settings...

  • Big problems exporting from Premiere Pro CS3

    Hey all.
    Would be massively grateful if anyone here could help me out. I'm in the process of trying to export a 23 and a half minute project from Premiere Pro CS3. I've tried exporting to different formats, (Quicktime, MPEG2, etc..) but keep arriving at the same conclusion. The process will freeze midway through, and I'm greeted by the following error messages:
    "premiere pro debug event
    premiere pro has encountered an error
    [..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]"
    When I close that, another window pops up saying;
    "export error
    application failed to return a video frame.
    cancelling the operation."
    I'm not really sure where to go from here. Previously during the process of editing this project, I would occasionally get a message telling me that premiere pro was "running low on system memory". Fearing this to be the problem I was having while exporting, I attempted to export an extremely low quality version of the project, but arrived at the same conclusion. I also wondered if there was a corrupt frame or clip somewhere that was causing the issue, so I overlayed one whole transparent clip over the whole sequence and tried to export, but again, the same result.
    I now have to put all my faith in you Adobe Wizards! Please ask me any questions that might help you to arrive at what may be causing the problem, I'll answer them the best I can
    Many thanks!

    FAR too small !!!
    The program itself uses more than that for temporary working files
    Also, unless you already have a 2nd hard drive or eSata external, you are below specification
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
    Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433 use USB externals for editing
    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

  • PDF quality problems exporting from InDesign and Photoshop

    Hi There.
    I'm having big problems exporting my InDesign files to PDFs and retaining the res. And it's not just the images (I understand about the dpi) it's the type on there too.
    I have been exporting as the preset High Quality Print - is this wrong. Are there other settings to ensure the PDF I export retains the high-res quality and clarity?
    At the moment it comes out high-res when I export it as a jpeg or eps but not PDF.
    I have also noticed the same problem when I export to a PDF from Photoshop.
    I really need to create interactive and high quality print PDFs from my InDesign files.
    Please can you advise.
    Thanks
    Karen

    I am also having problems with pdfs exported from Illustrator and Indesign recently. I didn't have these problems before, so I don't kno if something has changed in my settings that I am unaware of.
    When I use the 'japanese dots' border in Indesign, it shows on the pdf as a kind of dotted line. I'm exporting as 'High Quality Print'. I switched to Illustrator and drew a line with the pen tool, and converted it to a dotted line; it looked just how I wanted in in Illustrator, but as soon as I exported it, the same thing happened.
    I have used the 'japanese dots' border in the past, exporting as 'High Quality Print', and not had this problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Big Problems with PP - AE - Encore MPEG2-DVD export

    Hey guys & gals
    For the last two days I have pretty much torn the remaining hair from my scalp...
    I have a 190 minute 1920x1080 25p Video, all prepared in Premiere Pro.
    The Video has ONE audio track and THREE video tracks.
    Each of the Video tracks has some transitions (in my case: Roll Away (page peel)).
    One of the vids is the main video, the two others should appear in Picture-in-Picture Frames created with After Effects.
    The end result should then be rendered to MPEG2-DVD and a DVD created with Encore.
    Here are my two (?) problems.
    Problem 1: Premiere Pro & After Effects
    - When replacing my nested sequences (each video track is its own nest) and send it to AE all seems well.
    - However: None of my transitions will render out of AE (basically clip 1 cuts right away to clip 2 without the transition)
    Problem 2: MPEG2-DVD export - sound is too short
    - When I render my footage to MPEG2-DVD using AME, the sound is always too short.
    - Example: I got a 24 min chapter and the sound only lasts around 23 minutes. Then it just goes silent while the rest of the video plays.
    - (I multiplexed the sound into the MPEG2 file).
    Possible Solution?
    I have tried so many things already... Now I am thinking about this:
    Is this a solution for #1?:
    - export every video track separately and lossless (Windows Media, 1920x1080 25p ?)
    - export the sound sound track as AAC sound.
    - Create a new timeline with the newly rendered (have all transitions in them) videos.
    - THEN send them to AE again. AE does its thing.
    For Problem #2 (sound too short) I have no idea right now. That is the most vexing of my problems.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards from Berlin,
    Michael

    Thanks John & tfi for clearing up the audio/video issue!
    I will try that now - I am confident your advise works!
    As far as my system is concerned: Pretty fast i7 with multiple disks, Software is Creative Cloud Subscription (so all should be up-to-date).
    Maybe I don't get this whole Premiere / After Effects combo. I am a PPro advanced user, but an absolute AE noob
    So: I have a sequence in PPro. It has all kinds of transition effects in there, such as the "roll away" page peel.
    When I replace the sequence with an AE comp, I lose my transitions. In AE it shows all of the effects, such as 'roll away' between the clips, but they all have 0 duration.
    AE cuts from one clip to another without the transition.
    I hope I don't have to render my three videos out to lossless WMF or something and then put them in AE. In total, I have 6 disks with 90 chapters to go. That would be 270 exports before I can even begin working in AE...
    Again, thanks guys! And more help is even more appreciated

  • Problems exporting and playback the MPEG2-DVD videos, from .MP4 file!

    I have PremiereProCS4 v.4.2.1 installed on this PC:

    I have downloaded an AVCHD file .MTS 1920x1080p 25p, made by Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, from this source (.rar file):

    The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
    I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
    I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
    I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
    No problems with playback.
    Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
    Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
    I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
    I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
    After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
    1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
    2) Is this a transcoding problem?
    3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
    This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/337858976/Canon_HF100_1920x1080p_25p_01_AVCHD25p.m2v.html
    Strange! With .MTS files I haven't any exporting problems at all!
    Please response me hurry!
    Many Thanks!

    OK! Sanyo use a bad format.
    But about JVC GY-HM100 Professional:
    I know this model very well!
    It records to .MP4 XDCAM_EX at the same manner of Professionals Sony Camcorder such this: Sony XDCAM_EX model "PMW-EX1" price €6.478,80.
    This JVC GY-HM100 camcorder is not tha same as Consumer JVC camcorders.
    It doesn't record MOD or TOD files.
    It records .MP4 files editables in Premiere with XDCAM_EX "Preset"!
    See those details:

    See also this page:
    http://pro.jvc.com/pro/hm100/content.jsp?model_id=MDL101845&attributeId=12&feature_id=12
    The first Brochure called "A Guide to the Most Efficient Workflow with ProHD
    (6 pg brochure)" explain very well the .MP4 - XDCAM_EX format and the Editing process that should be with Adobe PremiereProCS4.
    I have inspected the downloaded .mp4 file in question, and GSPOT v.2.70a reading this:
    -CONTAINER:
         isom: MP4  Base Media v1 [IS0 14496-12:2003]
    -VIDEO:
         CODEC:avc1
         NAME: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
    -AUDIO:
          CODEC: mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC
    1c) Is this an AVCHD video codec?

  • Exporting for DVD - exported video plays too fast

    Hello helpful people!
    I'm fairly new to Premiere - but familiar with Final Cut. Using Adobe Premiere Pro CC v8.1 on a MAC.  I have a video that was shot in 1080p, and I picked sequence settings to match (or so I think).
    The video looks great in Premiere, and I need to create DVDs to send to the UK (I'm American), and they will have to be able to play in a standard dvd player over there. My understanding is that PAL would be the wiser choice for encoding. I'm trying to keep the export simple, and I've exported it multiple times using both PAL and NTSC, and while the audio files are fine - for both PAL & NTSC the video files are significantly shorter than the actual film, and plays in a sort of fast-forward effect. In Premiere, the film plays at 17 minutes, but when I open the exported .m2v files they are only playing at 14:33, - or one that I finally (somehow) got up to 15:00 minutes. That 15 minute one I got from not tweaking the settings at all - on the previous ones, I had read somewhere to increase the bit rate and use VBR Pass 2 for better results. However 2 minutes off is still a big problem.
    Below are screenshots of the sequence settings, and the most basic export settings I've used - example of the NTSC.
    Any help is hugely appreciated! Thanks

    I personally consider QuickTime the bane of video production whose use needs to vanish from the landscape quickly and permanently.  Give VLC a try instead.
    VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!
    I say just go ahead and author the disk.  Chances are good it'll work correctly.

  • Problem exporting video to use in iDVD

    I am working with anamorphic video in FCE 4.0.1. Video is imported from Canon GL2. The sequence I am working with has the anamorphic flag set and the canvas comes up as a wide screen view as I would expect. I export to QuickTime Movie (not self-contained), which we know sets the display size to 4:3. Open in QuickTime Pro, set the Movie Properties to 853 x 480 and save (as described in http://fcpbook.com/Video9.html ). Drag the movie into iDVD wide screen project. I've done this for a long time and it has always worked until recently.
    Now when I preview the movie in iDVD it displays as squished 4:3. I suspect some upgrade of some software (probably QT or iDVD) has made it quit working.
    I know there have been a lot of questions about this and I have tried various solutions without success. The only way I get it to come up as wide screen in iDVD preview is to use Quick Time conversion and export to a new file as 16:9. The big problem there is the chapter markers are not carried along, and I do not want them at every N minutes as iDVD will provide (I want them where I put them at transitions!). My only other thought is to export the full movie from FCE, bring it into iMovie, add the chapter markers there and export to iDVD (I understand iMovie is more compatible with iDVD).
    I am using QT 7.6.0 and iDVD 7.0.3. This question may be more appropriate for those forums, but probably mostly only effects users that had exported from FCE. So I start with the post here...

    Well, there is one more possibility using myDVDEdit, a powerful freeware application used to modify some parameters of a DVD image, before actually burning it. In this case you also need Toast or any other application able to make a video DVD image out of a VIDEO_TS folder.
    The steps below seem complex, but in fact they are pretty fast, after a couple of usages.
    Instructions for using myDVDEdit:
    - Do not burn the DVD from iDVD but create a +disk image+ file
    - From the finder open the disk image and copy its VIDEO_TS folder to your desktop
    - Change the VIDEO_TS file permissions to let you modify its contents: in the finder Get Info panel select read/write for the folder and +all its internal folders+
    - Open myDVDEdit and use its File>Open command to open the modifiable copy of the VIDEO_TS folder
    - In the top left panel of the myDVDEdit window select +VTS 1+ (this contains the video)
    - In the panel below the video frame select +VTS 1+ among the vertical left tabs, and then Parameters among the top center tabs
    - Now you can see some parameters, that in your case should be: Coding mode: MPEG-2, Standard: NTSC, Resolution: 720x480
    - Aspect is what you need: this should be set to +16:9 auto letterbox+ - if not, select this option
    - Save - this is all you need to do in myDVDEdit
    - note that myDVDEdit window shows any change you make, but you can also open the DVD Player from myDVDEdit itself with File>Test with DVD Player
    - Now you have to +make a new disk image with the modified VIDEO_TS folder+: if you have Toast you have simply to drag the new VIDEO_TS folder to the proper Toast window and burn; otherwise you can use DVDImager, a free application, to create the new disk image, and then use Disk Utility to burn the real DVD (however DVDImager not always works with me... couldn't find out why).
    If this doesn't work, you might also try the other options for the Aspect parameter. The full list is: 4:3, 16:9, 16:9 auto Pan&Scan, 16:9 auto Letterbox (the 1st to try), 16:9 auto Pan&Scan and Letterbox (2nd choice)

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

  • Still images exported to DVD look deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor

    Hi,
    I have tried tried almost everything and I still have issues with the still images exported to DVD as sequencefrom FCP 7.0 by using Compressor are deinterlaced and flicker on TV monitor. Please help remove the annoying flicker.
    My FCP Timeline Sequence settings match the image resolution:
    Frame Size: 1024 x 682 (double of 720 x 480 standard DVD res)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: None
    Compressor: Photo JPG (also tried, DVCPRO-NTSC)
    I cropped the original images in Photoshop to the 1024 x 682 and saved as tiffs. They still look deinterlaced in FCP timeline and exported to DVD on my iMac computer monitor.
    Final output of DVD will be on this monitor:
    Specifications:
    Ikegami
    Model: VCM-2101
    Resolution: 450 TV Lines (Horizontal)
    Should I crop the images to 450 horizontal pixels or the double of that 900?
    How can I match the sequence or the images settings to avoid the flicker and deinterlaced look on that monitor? I am not able to test the image by having the monitor next to computer.
    Compressor:
    I used custom DVD settings in Compressor for 90 min best quality DVD. Tried the Porgressive and "Same as Source" in Output field.
    In "Crop to" and "Padding" I set for preserve source aspect ratio and letterbox area of source.
    I followed the advices from below and I still did not resolve the problem. Please is there anythign else I can try?
    Thanks a lot..
    Re: Poor Quality Stills
    Dec 19, 2006 4:08 PM (in response to Steve Braker)
    Things to try (In increasing order of image degradation)
    - (in FCP) field order>none
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) reduce whites by 10% - reduces overly bright areas
    - (in FCP) flicker filter - minimum
    - (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical> .2 - .5 pixels - blurs vertically only
    - (In FCP or Photoshop) Gaussian blur> .2 - .5 pixels -blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
    - (in FCP or Photoshop) deinterlace - throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images

    Dear Russ,
    Thank you very much. Yes, there is something else in the sequence, old documentary, 768 x 570 (no field dominance, 25fps, Apple ProRes 422) but the images are more imporant.
    make a progressive sequence with  square pixels. (I am partial to 720P, 1080 should work – or 540). Choose Pro Res 422
    Do you mean that I should make a sequence in FCP with these settings? If yes, how can I set a "progressive" sequence? I dont see a setting for output field in FCP sequence settings, lnly in customizing Compressor output DVD format.
    Also: "720P, 1080 should work – or 540" are you talking about Frame size? If so, to set in Compressor or in FCP?
    If you have interlaced material, then de-interlace before you bring it in. If you don't have interlaced clips, don't de-interlace.
    The images are not interlaced after  I crop them, apply motion blur filter in Photoshop but look interlaced in FCP timeline after I import them and even to the same as photos sequence in FCP timeline.
    Please help and thank you for your comments.

  • Motion blur issue once exported to DVD through Encore

    I have 59.94 HD footage. I edit it, export it through Adobe Media Encoder to Mpeg-2 DVD at 29.97, drop-frame, lower field dominance. I then import that .m2v file into Encore, and then export to DVD, without re-transcoding or encoding anything. The DVD plays back with a 24p-like jitter, or blur to it. I do not understand this. After encoding the .m2v file, I went back and played that on windows media player, and other media players, and the video played back as it should originally, very smooth. Why is it that in between creating the .m2v and exporting the DVD in Encore, I am getting this 24p-like blur/jitter to the video? Does it matter that some of these videos I am putting to DVD-DL and are quite large? Hope someone can help. Thanks. Any other info needed, I will supply for you.

    Matrox, velocity and anyother hardware based NLEs use a 720 x 486 timeline. I've exported countless SD files through AME and the m2v files played fine through a Windows media and VLC, They also imported and burned to DVD with Encore flawlessly. SD is not the issue at all.
    The problem is as stated in the original posting is.
    I export the HD timeline(59.94) through AME as a MPEG2-DVD (29.97 Lower field) and the file plays fine in the WIndows Media Player and VLC. No jitter. Perfect
    It's when I put the m2v encoded from a HD (720 x 1280 59,94 frame rate as a MPEG2-DVD in AME ) in encore ( do not transcode ) and then burn to a DL DVD. When the DVD is played back, the jitter issue arises.

  • Imported clips are to big to burn to DVD can i cut them up w/ out having to

    imported clips are to big to burn to DVD can i cut them up w/ out having to export them again as QT files. seems like too many steps. otherwise i have to import them as shorter clips....i was doing this for a friend so i just did a "capture now" didnt want to sit and log..but now clips are toooo BIG..over 4 gigs and now i cant burn them to a data DVD.
    anyone???
    e

    You could Zip them into an archive. They compress somewhat. Or Stuffit will allow you to segment an archive into 4.7 GB segments...
