Can a project be saved on a dvd without rendering or encoding?

Can I save the data of my project on a dvd or cd without rendering it, encoding it or transcoding it? and then be able to load it again with losing any files?
Please help!!

Elio,
I'm not clear on exactly what you wish to save to writable media. If it's just your Project file (.PRPROJ), then the answer is yes. This would be a data CD, or DVD. These files are not very big, so a CD would probably work fine.
Now, if you wish to "archive" your Project, complete with the media files, you probably need a bunch of DVD's as these files will be in raw form and not compressed. Project Manager can be used to "archive" your Project, but you will very likely want to do this to a large HDD, and not to writable media.
Also, I might be missing what you want completely.

  • I've noticed that CDs I've loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    iTunes does not burn DVDs, so you will have to use third-party software regardless of the format of the tracks.

  • Can iDVD projects be saved/viewed on Apple TV?

    Hello. Curious if iDVD projects can be saved to Apple TV?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Apparently the answer is No. However you can view the antecedent iMovie project in the form of H.264 according to Winston C. on the AppleTV Forum. In other words, you'd have to finalize the iMovie Project (not the iDvd project file) as follows:
    imovie projects need to be finalised as h264 video files so as to be used with the tv. Quite simple really, just share as a movie, choosing the size of movie that suits the source video you have used in the project.
    But as suggested above, it's likely a good idea to verify the above info within the proper forum. Those specific links follow:

  • How can I burn an mpeg onto a DVD without having to use IDVD or IMovie?

    So I've got a few jpg's and mpeg's that I would like to burn for PC friends, but the only way I can figure out how to get these onto a CD or DVD is by using IDVD or IMovie with my IMac. Is there a way around this? Why doesn't a blank DVD or CD icon come up on the desktop once inserted so that I can simply drag and drop my photos and short movies to it to be burned accordingly? Thanks in advance.
    IMac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.7)

    Thanks for responding Dave, but this option doesn't
    seem to appear in the preferences of IDVD, DVD
    Player, or Quicktime. It seems strange that the only
    way I can burn a movie is to create a new IMovie
    project and and then burn it via IDVD. This is a
    huge hassle when all I want is a few short videos in
    no particular order saved on a CD or DVD. My CD
    player doesn't seem to be listed separately and is
    tied into Itunes. Isn't ILife suppose to make
    things easier? Thanks for your help.

  • How can I play the films in a DVD without pauses?

    Hello,
    I am trying to make a DVD about a concert of my music band that I recorded and then I prepared with iMovie.
    My idea is to make different chapters for each song, but when I play the DVD, if I select one song, after finishing it the DVD comes back to the menu.
    It is possible to play all the chapters without pauses? Or do I have to make one only chapter for getting it?
    Thanks for your answers!!!

    Hi
    Play all resp one chapter at a time
    Play All Button 
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    • Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in hight. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
    3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
    Summary
    a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
    b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

  • Can't get clips to play in timeline without rendering

    I am new at this so bear with me. I uploaded two 3 minute clips (live band footage) into FCP 5.0.1 Clip one is from a canon hv-20 1440x1080,29.97 fps, data rate 10.6. Second clip is from a pannasonic 3ccd...720x480, 29.97 fps data rate 3.6. The sequence settings are 1440x1080,29.97 fps, hdv1080i60,audio rate 48.
    The problem (besides that I don't now what I am doing) is that when I drop either clip into the timeline , I get the red line. what am I doing wrong and or how can I correct it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Carl

    #28 Having to render every clip in the timeline
    Shane's Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
    Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
    However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
    The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
    Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
    This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.
    NOW MIND YOU...you are working with TWO DIFFERENT video formats. Once you set the sequence to one format, you will have to render the other. You are mixing HD (HDV from the Canon) and SD (DV from the Panasonic). For someone who is very new to this...this won't be an easy thing.

  • Can Captivate 6 projects be saved as Captivate 5.5 or 5?

    I just want to know if I can work with my co-workers who have Captivate 5.5/5 installed if I upgrade to Captivate 6? Can the projects be saved down to be compatible with 5.5/5? Please advise.

    Installing Captivate 6 won't automatically wipe out your Cp5 install because they are installed into different folders.  I have every version of Captivate from 3 through to 6 on my development laptop!
    But like others have warned, upgrading project files to newer versions is always a one way trip.  So you need to be careful that if you double click on a project file it gets launched by the right version.  Sometimes the newly installed version will get precedence and open all Cptx files, whether it was used to create them or not. If you're not paying attention, and you hit Save, you might have just unwittingly upgraded an older project.

  • How can I burn ipod touch videos to dvd?

    How can I burn ipod touch videos to dvd without compressing and losing quality?

    iDVD is not longer officially supported by Apple, but still works like a champ.
    In iMovie 10, go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save (remember where you saved it).
    When the activity indicator shows that the Share has completed (may take a while depending on your hardware and the length of the movie) go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.

  • DVD without a Menu?

    Can iDVD be used to make a DVD without a menu? I was unable to delete the menu. I dragged the video to the drop zone that indicates it will play when inserted, though afterwards it is going to go back to the menu.

    How to create a DVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software
    4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

  • Can I burn an iMovie 11 project directly to a DVD without using iDVD?

    Is it possible, after finalizing an iMovie project, to burn it directly from iMovie 11 to a DVD without first exporting it to iDVD?
    The project consists of old Super 8 movies that were digitized and imported into iMovie 11, so the quality doesn't start out very well; I don't want the quality to get any worse. I am looking for a quick way to share this file with family members who only have a DVD player.
    Looking for answers quickly, as we just finished the project and my daughter want my daughter, who is leaving tomorrow a.m. to return home, to take it with her. Thanks for any help.

    If your movie is less than about 13 minutes, and you want super quality, forget iDVD. I found a way to create a super high-quality .mov file that fits on a DVD and you can burn it yourself, and anyone can play it.  If you're willing to live with a slightly degraded version, you can put a 106-minute video on a DVD, and it'll look just fine to a group sitting in a room.
    Having slogged my way through iMovie’s “Help,” online Apple Help and numerous blogs like this one with solutions that were frustratingly varied, hard to follow and even outright contradictory, I gave up and did my own methodical tests to see which combination of options and settings yielded the best result for creating a file on my desktop that can be shared.
    Here’s what I worked with:  I have a four-minute movie created in iMovie ’11, with nice titles and credits that fade in and out, and one-second cross dissolves in the film.  The movie is 3x4 aspect ratio, not letterbox.  Looks smooth and clean as can be in iMovie, full screen.  (If it matters, I am working on a Mac OS 10.6.8; Processor 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon; Memory 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.  I don’t see any “RAM” numbers for my computer.)
    Tried exporting through Quicktime and not exporting through Quicktime. Most settings resulted in titles that were either fuzzy or were not clean and smooth during the fades, and often videos that were choppy and would freeze every second or so. Some had clean imagery and would play fine but got very pixilated during transitions (dissolves).  Some that were much larger (higher megabyte numbers) and took longer to  generate the file were actually of lower quality.  Go figure.
    Of all the tests I did, the best results came from doing the following. Here are two options:
    For a small, convenient file that came to only 176 MB for my 4-minute movie, if you’re willing to live with some very slight image degradation and titles that show some slight compression during fades -- but looks perfect from across a room:
    1)  Share > Export using Quicktime > “Export: Movie to Quicktime” / “Use: Most Recent Settings”
    2)  Click “Options”
    3)  Click “Settings”
    4)  Compression: MPEG-4 Video
    5)  Frame Rate: Current
    6)  Key Frames: Every 24 frames
    7)  Frame Reordering -- unchecked
    8)  Compressor Quality: Best
    9)  Data Rate: “Restrict to 6400 kbits/sec”
    10)  Click “OK” and return to “Movie Settings”
    11)  Ignore “Filter” unless you want to alter the look of your video.
    12)  Adjust “Size” accordingly to your wishes. I clicked it, then selected “1920 x 1080 HD” and checked “Preserve aspect ratio using: Fit within dimensions.” This results in an image 1440 x 1080 (to fit within 1920 x 1080).  Remember that if you don’t preserve your original aspect ratio you’ll get a larger/wider movie, but the top and bottom of your image will be cut off.
    13)  If your video is silent, make sure “Sound” is unchecked. I read somewhere that this speeds up the file-creating process.
    14)  Hit “OK”
    15)  Be sure to check where you want your file to appear. I chose “Desktop.”
    16)  Hit “Save”
    That’s it!  In my case, after about six minutes, I had a “.mov” file on my desktop that anyone can easily play (people may have to have Quicktime, though, as I understand it, but I believe that’s a free download; you do NOT need Quicktime Pro which costs $).  I uploaded the file to a file-sharing site (Hightail) for others to download, and, testing it, it took me only a few moments to download (I have a FiOS fiber-optic connection, so if you don’t, it will likely take a little longer).  The downloaded file played perfectly and suffered no degradation whatever from the one I generated to my desktop from iMovie.
    For a super high-res version, if you’re willing to live with the size, the ONLY difference is No. 9: Change your Data Rate to “Automatic.”  But as mentioned in the beginning, a standard DVD-R will only hold about 13 minutes of footage at this quality.
    Oddly, this super-quality version took about the same six minutes to generate the desktop .mov file, but the resulting 1.44 GB file is far, far superior.  You’ll be thrilled with the result! 
    The only downside –– to all of the file tests I did –– is that there is a slight loss of color saturation and contrast from the original iMovie imagery I worked with, particularly with the reds and oranges which become a bit muted.  The blacks/darks came up a bit, yielding slightly less contrast.  But these drawbacks are minor, to me.
    If someone knows of a way to preserve the exact original color saturation and contrast, I’m all ears.

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

  • How can I turn captured video into a DVD

    I am a premiere newbie. Can anyone tell me the basic steps to take captured video (already can do..) and turn it into a DVD which can be read on a regular TV-DVD player.? Even a few basic starter steps to send me down the right road would be helpful and VERY appreciated. I can capture to Premiere (Pro CS4), but then what? Thank you!!

    OK, you've got your material Captured from your camera. It should appear in your Project Panel. At this point, your Timeline will be empty. This is where the editing comes in. I'll keep it simple, as there are a couple of ways to do this.
    1.) from the Project Panel, drag each Video Clip to the Timeline's Video Track 1. The accompanying Audio wll come in with it, and should go to Audio Track 1, below that little "beltline," that separates your Video (above) and Audio (below).
    2.) you can alter the Duration of your Clip by click-dragging on the Head, to shorten it there, or from the Tail, to shorten it there. If you have material that you wish to remove from anywhere but the Head or Tail, look in the Toolbox, usually to the lower-right, but it can be moved. There is a Razor icon. Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little triangle with a red line, that moves when you hit the Spacebar) where you wish to Cut with the Razor. Click with the Razor selected and both Video and Audio will be sliced. Move to where you wish this extra footage to end, and do the same thing. Rt-click on this new "Clip" and Choose Ripple Delete. This will remove that segment and close up the other parts of the Clip. Repeat for all of the rest of your media Assets.
    3.) add any Transitions, music, etc.
    4.) when done, you will Export this to Adobe Encore for DVD authoring. There are several ways to do this, but Adobe Dynamic Link is probably the easiest way.
    5.) in Encore (if you use DL all selected Timelines will come into that program w/ Audio and Video), you create your navigation with Menus (Encore has a full Library of these).
    6.) Check Project
    7.) when done, chose File>Burn to DVD.
    Note: use good media, like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at the slowest possible speed.
    Done and good luck,
    Hunt
    PS remember that there are many ways to do the steps above. The manual and the Help files will go into a lot more detail, and you might find that you like another way better. Read, and then experiment.

  • The project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version

    I edited a project on CC on one computer and saved it on my external. My friend took the same project to edit it on her computer under her own name and licence. Both of us recently upgraded to CC. But the same project that worked a few hours back on Premiere Pro CC, does not work now also on Premiere Pro CC and I received a message saying: The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." Can you please help us.?

    Hi alexxxkid,
    You should be able to import the xml into an earlier version.
    Backward compatibility has never been there with Premiere and it is always recommended not to update in the middle of a project.
    As far as the crash is concerned, please tell me more about it so that i can help you to the best of my knowledge.
