Can Compressor burn a batch of several video clips to one DVD?

I'm trying to compile a batch of video clips to burn to a single AVCHD DVD-R.  It looks like I can Create Blu-ray Disc job action for each job or video, but I want to burn one disk to contain all the video clips in the batch.  Is this possible with Compressor 3.5?
I've found that it's possible to do this with Final Cut Pro, after transcoding all the video and putting it in one timeline, then File>Share.  But I was hoping to eliminate the step of transcoding the video to save time and memory, and speed up the process. 
Thanks for any help.

Ben, thanks for the info.  I assume I should ingest the videos as ProResLT with a Compressor droplet, rather than Log and Transfer w/ FCP.  Looks like that doubles the size of the video -- not too bad.  I just want to streamline the workflow as much as possible.  I don't want to shell out $100 for Toast right now.

  • Trying to Batch-Export Several .dv clips from one large .dv file

    I'm having trouble cutting up and exporting discrete clips from larger .dv files; either it doesn't cut in the right place (weird parts of the file get glommed together), loses its audio, compresses and loses information, etc.
    I'd really like to be able to cut up each file into specific clips and export them all at once (the files are roughly 13GB each), but so far everything I've tried has led to disaster, and all of the exported files are converted to .mov

    S00thsayer,
    The bottom line here is that if your .dv files are in FCP they are no longer . dv files.
    I know that may sound heretical so some, but stay with me for a second.
    Final cut will simply not edit .dv in its native state any more than it will AVCHD. What happens instead is that FCP IGNORES the audio portion of the DV stream and rewrites its own audio (32 bit float mind you, which is not the most efficient use of disc space)
    Now you have a DV NTSC sequence but as far as FCP is concerned that means a .MOV shell containing video + audio. THAT is now the native state. The video has not been re-compressed yet but is still no longer experiencing life as a .dv file.
    That's the first reality that you need to accept.
    Next, if you do decide to export from FCP to the .dv codec I'm pretty certain that at THAT point you'll be re-compressing your video footage. So, Ironically, in an attempt to avoid generational loss by insisting that the new clips be ".dv" you actually could be making things worse.
    The ONLY application in the universe that I'm aware of that will do what you're trying to do is iMovieHD 06. That application had destructive style file functionality that let you trash media that had been trimmed while still maintaining the original file directory.
    Personally, I think it's incumbent upon you to inform "your boss" that his abstract idea about maintaining this media within FCP as .dv is simply fantasy.
    Or continue to tell the emperor that his new clothes are beautiful !
    good luck,

    I replied long before post 7, but my reply did not get posted...instead it remained unsent. I have been having computer Internet connection problems. I was able to recapture it from restore feature of posting. Below is what I wrote.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Just in case note....for a regular DVD player, granted it is important to have a video format that the player supports (namely DVD-VIDEO format); however, the other half of the consideration...the player needs to support the disc type (media type) that the video format is on. I do not know of a regular DVD player that supports DVD-VIDEO on a memory stick.
    If you have recorded PAL 1080i (1920 x 1080 @ 25 interlaced frames per second), that interlaced video exists with Field Order: Upper Field First.
    But, you end product DVD-VIDEO is characterized by Field Order: Lower Field First. If you run into this type of Field Order problem, then there are 2
    possibilities to get that taken care of
    a. Assuming that you are using Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13....set the project preset (manually) to
    PAL
    Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders
    Full HD 1080i25
    or
    b. Import the source media using
    PAL
    AVCHD
    Full HD1080i15
    and then, for each Timeline 1080i, right click it, select Field Options from the pop up menu, and then select Reverse Field Dominance.
    When you export to file, you lose the opportunity for menus. The only export to file with menus is found in the webDVD export which is
    in reality a flash file with menus. That might be a consideration for playback through the web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
    If putting a file on a memory stick is a working possibility, you might want to look also at AVCHD.mp4 1920 x 1080p25, but all depends on the
    support of the player.
    Lots to think about. If you need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Can not upload video clips from mini dvd

    When I try to upload video clips from mini DVD recorded on Sony Handycam it stats the files are read only.  I have tried finalized and un-finalized clips.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Although what I posted in my post numbered 2 is interesting and useful information in the Premiere Elements ripping of VOBs from DVD-VIDEO, it is not answering your issue regarding a "read only" issue and did not target your specific "read only" message. Sorry about that.
    The VOBs are typically read only files on the disc.
    I have never run into a "read only" issue with regard to the Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Add Media/"DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive"/Video Importer. For that matter, not with any version of Premiere Elements with this particular feature.
    When are you getting this message.
    a. When you click on DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive after Get Media
    b. When you click on Get Media in the Video Importer or other
    Do you ever get a thumbnail for the VTS_01_1.VOB in the Video Importer? Is your burner drive recognized in the Source field of the Video Importer?
    If you open and explore the DVD disc, go to the VTS_01_1.VOB in the VIDEO-TS Folder, go to the VOB's properties, can you remove
    the mark next to "read only" and then have the Video Importer route work for you?
    Also, if you copy the  VTS_01_1.VOB from the opened DVD disc and paste it to the computer desktop and remove the "read only" marking, can you then import
    the VTS_01_1.VOB into Premiere Elements with its Get Media/Files and Folders?

  • Overlaying Several Video Clips to be viewed Simultaneously

    Hello,
    I'm a new FCE user. I'm trying to take several video clips and overlay them so that they all show simultaneously. I have a long clip I want to break into pieces, make them somewhat transparent and have them all play as on clip at one time at an increased speed. The intent is to take a long piece and make make it much shorter and more interesting to watch.
    Any ideas?

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Select your long clip in the Viewer, set in and out points for the first part you want to use, put it in V1 on your Timeline. Go back to the long clip in the Viewer, set new in and out points for the second part you want to use, put it in V2 on top of the clip in V1. Continue that process as many times as you need to.
    Adjust transparency by clicking the clip overlays button (zig zag lines at the bottom left of the Timeline window). When you do so, a black horizontal line appears near the top of each video track in the Timeline. Click and drag the line down to decrease the opacity of the clip.
    If you don't already have one, you'd be very wise to purchase an instructional book. Two excellent choices are Final Cut Express Editing Workshop by Tom Wolsky (frequent contributor to this forum) and Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express by Diana Weynand. Each is around $30 on Amazon.

  • Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

    Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
    I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted. 
    I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
    Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you in advance!

  • How to combine video clips into one video clip using FCPX

    I typed this into the search engine but could not come up with anything. How do you combine Video clips into one Video clip using FCPX? Thanks in advance.
    Gar

    The simple answer is to put the clips together in a project in the desired order and export (oops, the new word is share [YUK!]) a master file.
    But maybe you should say a little more about the clips to determine whether the answer I've given is relevant to yor situation.

  • How can I burn all of my iPhoto videos onto a DVD?

    I record many many live events with my iPhone! I of course back them up onto my Macbook Air's iPhoto, which is also backed up onto an external hard drive. I was wondering how I can just locate all of the video files in my library, put those onto a flash drive or something, take it somewhere, and burn them all onto a video DVD disk that is playable. I'm not worried about the quality of it if I play it on a big screen...I just want to peace of mind knowing that I have it. Of course I understand that It is going to take way more than just one DVD....please help or offer advice!!

    You can find all the videos in your Library with
    File -> New Smart Album
    Photo -> is -> Movie
    Then export them:
    File -> Export - in the export dialogue set the Kind to Original
    to a folder on the desktop.
    Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
    Other options:
    Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn

  • Burning several disk images in one DVD

    Is it possible to bun 2 disk images on a DVD? I tried in DU but if both .img are selected,"Burn" is greyed.
    Alternatively, how can I combine 2 disk images into one, so that DU will accept to burn it?
    I found the following advice a Forum:
    A .dmg file is a disk image, and can be treated like any other disk. You can copy the contents of one into another, or make a new blank image and copy their contents into that.
    I did that, but, as I said, DU doesn't agree
    Those disk images contain home videos which have been edited in iMovie 5, but cannot be burned in iDVD because my Mac mini has no DVD burner. So I create a disk image in iDVD and use DU -> Images -> burn on an external burner.
    Also, is it possible to rename a DVD? For some reason the latest DVD is bearing the same name as the DVD burned just before it.

    your whole topic is Finder-related, MacOs allows/supports simple drag'n drop...
    your both .imgs exist at some location of your Mac, right?
    no app needed nor running...
    insert an empty dvd-r
    your Mac will ask you what to do...
    you do: drag'n drop both .img files onto disk...
    hit the burn button in disk's window..
    no step 3), boom! done..

  • How do I burn several Video_TS folders onto one DVD?

    A cousin had some very old (as early as 1929!) film converted and burned to three DVDs, of them short (the total run time is under an hour). What's the best way to combine them into one DVD so I can duplicate it and send to other family members? I'm copying the VIDEO_TS files but am leery of re-naming them for fear of confusing Toast 7.
    Can iDVD6 help do this more simply?

    How fabulous!
    The old family movies I converted to DVDs were only from 1958!
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS folders back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip (you just drop the TS folder into the Streamclip window):
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    (Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal. )
    Once in iMovie you can edit the 'stray bits' out, have each old movie as a chapter etc.
    Then send it to iDVD for burning, or use Toast.

  • Batch watermarking many video clips

    I'm reorganizing my stock footage libaray and need to convert thousands of HD clips to flash for samples and comps and hopefully at the same time place a watermark across the clips.
    Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?  I did a search on the internet and it seems there are some batch programs out there, but the only ones I found were for PC's.
    thx...jw
    MacPro/CS4 system

    seems like you're doing it right, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean.
    It sounds like you shot 100 clips, each with their own individual audio. And you have a high quality version of that same audio which takes place on the clips
    I assume the 100 clips are in a sort of sequence (clip 1 is mind 1, clip 100 is minute 1 hundred), where as the audio is all of the audio that the clips would have in 1 file.
    If thats the case, it sounds like you could just use the multi camera sequence and it would go as far as lining up all the audio and video together, assuming that the audio in the clips is the same (or VERY similar) to the high quality version. The multicam can sync them up on audio, and once sequenced you could fiddle with it.
    Now this does get muddy if you video clips are over lapping, (both clips 1 &2 are on minute 1). If thats the case, you technically dont have to select all the video clips to the audio, you could do it multiple times.

    *You also can do this with QuickTime-pro.* But You need the disipline of an angle.
    Quoting:
    Klaus1 writes: As Bengt says, you can do this with Quicktime Pro. Here is how:
    Organize the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
    Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
    In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
    You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
    Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
    Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
    You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
    If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in the relevant numbers in the two boxes, in Video Track 1.
    PAL (for Europe):
    Standard DV (4:3) 788 x 576
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
    NTSC (for the USA):
    Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
    This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanted in 16:9 repeat for that track.
    You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
    Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
    Have fun!
    END OF QUOTE !
    *My way:* When I started to need more than iMovie could offer I took a look into
    FinalCut Express and counting the sum of all Plug-ins needed and FCE I found out
    that FCE is a real bargin.
    • color-correction
    • blue/green screen
    • 99 video and audio tracks

    Hi D
    You got a miniDV tape - OK
    Do You have the Camera - and does it have a FireWire port
    same as: (Digital in/out - FireWire (Apple) - IEEE 1394 - i.Link (SONY) - DV Terminal (by Panasonic)
    Then connect with a FW-Cable 6-4 pin to Your Mac
    Set in Play mode
    Start iDVD
    Select "OneStep DVD" or "Magic Movie"
    Put in a DVD-R disk when prompted.
    Sometimes later - Ready !
    I use Verbatim DVD-R disks and at an as low x no: as I can get eg x4 (x16 often gives problem
    with any brand of DVDs)
    OK You've got iDVD08 - Here You can force the burn speed down to x1 in pref-menu. This gives
    less errors. I do so.
    You can also go via iMovie. Use iMovie HD 6. When ready with edit. Close iMovie and drop or import
    Your movie into iDVD. Select block diagram and drop Your movie block into the upper most left box.
    Now You'll get a self starting movie. But it will end on the theme You selected.
    Selecting an as simple menu is a good advice. I use "Bruched metal"
    Select burn.
    Yours Bengt W
