Canon s100 video to make widescreen dvd

I shot video with a Canon s100. When I click on the mov files, they are large and wide screen.
I authored a dvd and played it on my television. The video was very small and surrounded by a large black box.
How can I get the video to fill the TV screen. I had no problem when I made wide screen dvd's from video shot with my iPod.

Please define large & wide screen.
When you open the file in Quicktime and get info(command+i) what size are the files? 1280x720, 640x480, 640x360?
How are you compressing the files for DVD? In compressor? DSP?
What does the video look like when you simulate in DSP?
If you build the DVD to your desktop and then open the Video_TS folder in the Mac DVD player application what does it look like? What ever you see here is what will end up on the DVD.

  • Best FCE Project Settings to make widescreen DVD with iDVD?

    I need to make DVDs with lots of short clips stitched together into a longish movie. I've been using iDVD to burn the DVDs (because it's free and I know how to use it). (NTSC TV, not PAL)
    The clips are mostly still pictures animated with either FCE (using the ImageFlow plugins) or PulpMotion Advanced. Sometimes they contain movie clips shot with whatever camera one of my colleagues has with them.
    I'm wondering what are the best project settings to use with FCE to generate a video file that I can drag into iDVD and have rendered as a widescreen video? As a Bear of Very Little Brain I'm confused by all the options (dimensions, frame rate, codec, etc).
    I tried this weekend using H.264 codec, 1280 x 720 29.97 frame rate, 24 key frames, and the video took 20 hours to output from FCE, then another 3 hours for iDVD to encode for the DVD. (2.66 GHz Quad-Core MacPro with 10 GB RAM and 200+ GB free on HD, if it makes a difference.) Clearly there must be settings that are more efficient!

    Mostly my input files are still pictures, usually JPEGs. I bought the ImageFlow plugins which will animate them in different ways. For example, I took the pictures of everyone at my school and animated them into a 30 minute sequence of swooshing images with a video matte over a green caustic video generator.
    Sometimes I use a program called PulpMotion to make a different animation, but I have a lot of choices for exporting a QuickTime file from that program, so I could set that to match whatever's best for FCE.
    Sometimes I'll use iMovie 09 to make a clip from still images (for the automatic animations), but again I have a lot of choices for exporting that clip and bringing it into FCE.

  • What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but they won't let me email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

    What's a good video app to use? I have iPhoto and iMovie, but it these wont let me do certain things, such as email a video. I also want to be able to make a dvd of my home movies. Any suggestions?

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

  • Canon S100 Photo Capture Time Correct, but Video Capture Time Is Wrong

    I have a Canon S100 and just started importing photos and video into my LR 4.3 catalog. I convert RAW to DNG, and the Capture Time on the photos in LR is correct. However, the video Capture Time is shifted forward exactly 8 hours. I know how to correct the video Capture Time, but is there anything I can do to stop this from happening in the first place?
    I looked at what the metadata looks like in Bridge.
    PHOTO:
    Date Created = Correct Capture Time
    Date File Modified = The time I imported the file into LR.
    VIDEO:
    Date Created = Capture Time + 8 hours
    Date File Modified = Correct Capture Time
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    In general, LR doesn't know how to read video metadata.  It uses the file's date-modified (as set by the operating system) for filtering, sorting, and pre-populating the Metadata > Edit Capture Time dialog, but it uses the file's date-created (as set by the operating system) to display in the grid view.
    So you might look for a file utility that lets you set the file's date-created to be the same as the file's date-modified (note that on Windows, at least, copying a file changes the date-created but preserves the date-modified).

  • Can I Make A DVD With Video & 24-Bit Audio?

    I want to make a DVD with videos and, as a special feature, 13 24-bit enhanced playable audio tracks.
    Is this possible in iDVD?
    Thanks!

    Toast 8 has a 96kHz/24-bit option in making Music DVDs as well as a 48 kHz/24-bit option. (Note: these are NOT DVD-Audio discs which require a special player.)
    'Normal' Toast audio is 48 kHz/16-bit.

  • Why am I not getting the audio when I send a video from Premier Pro to encor to make a DVD?

    I created a video with only one audio track.  It plays perfectly in Premier Pro
    Then I send it to encor to make a DVD.  When I play the video in the monitor in encor, there is not sound, audio track
    What am I doing wrong.  I have done this successfully many times before

    To further add to the equation if I go to System Preferences and switch my output from my MOTU Firewire to the internal speakers of my Mac Pro I can hear the clip I just dragged and couldn't hear before in the Timeline AND when I then switch back to the MOTU I can now hear that same clip I just dragged in the Timeline.  But if I drag a new clip from Events to Timeline then I cannot hear it again until I go through this same song and dance.
    Help?
    Weird... It appears that there is a problem with the audio not being routed to the right output.
    I don't have a MOTU interface, but could it be that there is an updated driver for it?
    Also, I'd try to let OnyX run its cleaning and maintenance routines.
    If all else fails, at least you can shorten the workaround: you don't need to go to system preferences to change the output for sound. Just option-click on the volume icon in the menu bar and select the desired choice.

  • Widescreen dvd to ipod video

    I ripped the widescreen dvd to itune, then transferred to ipod. The motion picture looks like its been stretch longer. I tried widescreen on and off in ipod setting. I was wondering what is the resolution for widescreen? like 640x360? or is there another way? thanks

    That's pretty much up to the converter program, which all have different options for the output format. What you're looking for is an option to maintain the aspect ratio of the source, yet fit it to a 320x240 window. If you want to make it full screen (for 320x240) you still want it to maintain the correct aspect ratio, but in this case crop off the sides.

  • How to make a DVD video with iDVD without using themes

    How can I record my DVD without using iDVD themes. I do not care about the selections. I just want a simple slide show showing only photos.

    Hello puzzledbon,
    Than you for the question.  You can make a OneStep DVD from a movie to avoid adding a theme to you DVD.  Before you can do that, you will have to create your slideshow and export it in iPhoto.
    Use the steps in the section titled "Make a saved slideshow" in the following article to create a slideshow in iPhoto '11:

  • Canon Gl2 Video Camera Not Recognized with Firewire 800 Connection

    I have a late 2010 mac with 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 Processor with 12GB DDR3 running 10.8.2 OSX.  I have a Canon GL2 video camcorder with a MiniDV tape I am trying to download to my computer.  I am using a new 4pin to 9pin Rocketfish Firewire 800 cable. My computer is not recognizing the firewire input from the GL2.  As suggested with other support threads, I have tried to turn the mac and computer off and on, as well as check to see if the cable is working.  I have also tried both a trial version of Final Cut, and Imovie 09 which is loaded on my Mac, neither of which will recognize the camera.  I clicked on the System Information icon and looked at the Firewire 800 status which was:
    FireWire Bus:
    Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    At least I know it recognized something.  I have also checked to make sure the Canon is set to DV-Out on the Menu.  Since I am unable to use a USB connector with MiniDV, would there be any other way to either A) Download the video to the computer, or B) get the Mac to recognize the source plugged into the Firewire?   Any help with this would be excellent.

    I believe that in order to be recognized, you have to start the process from within iMovie of Final Cut; as for your FW port, you can try these two different troubleshooting steps (may or may not work, but won't hurt):
    Reset SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    It may that your FW port is defective; it that turns out to be the problem, I hope you purchased Applecare because those ports are an integral part of the logic board, so that would have to be replaced ($$$).
    Since your footage is on DV tapes, you do need the FW to transfer it or it will not work. One other (involved) way would be to transfer your footage to a DVD if you have a DVD recorder and then get it on the Mac from there.

  • Elements 9 Freezes on Adding Canon DSLR video files

    I just purchased Premiere Elements 9 to edit my Canon T2i video files.  When I try to add the video files by going to Get Media - From File, the progress bar pops up and goes away quickly like it is finished processing the addition to my organizer, but the video file never shows up.  If I go to Filter By and select the project I am working on to only show the project files, I get the Windows thinking icon and that is all the further I can get Elements to go.  After 1/2 hour or so I close elements.  When I open the project file back up, the video I tried to add earlier shows up.  I don't think I should have to kill the program and reopen it everytime I try to add a video file to the project.  What gives?  My computer is a Core i5 M430 with 4gb of ram on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

    Got a response from Adobe support and this is what they suggested:
    "Solution 1: Update to Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    Do one of the following:
    * Launch Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and choose Help > Updates.
    * Download and install updates from the below mentioned link.
    ( http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4930 )
    Solution 2: Update the graphic card driver.
    Many video card manufacturers frequently update their software drivers. If you haven't recently updated the video card driver, contact the video card manufacturer for an updated driver, or download one from the manufacturer's website.
    Solution 3: Update quick time player.
    Open Quicktime player> click help menu > click update.
    Solution 4: Re-create the preferences files.
    Re-create the Adobe application preferences file to eliminate problems caused by a damaged preferences file. For specific instructions, search the application Help system for "restore preferences" or "re-create preferences." .
    Mac Hard disk > Users > username > Library > application support > adobe.photoshop.com.plist
    (please remove the adobe.photoshop.com.plist file from this location and relaunch the application and kindly make sure the application is closed before your perform this step)
    Solution 5 : Install or run the Adobe application from within a new user account.
    Occasionally, a user account can become corrupted and prevent the installer from accessing or creating the necessary files and folders. Create an account, log in to the new account, and then try to install or run the Adobe application. For information on creating a user account, see "Creating a new user account" in the Mac OS X Help.
    Solution 6: Remove third-party plug-ins.
    Applies to Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Elements, After Effects, Bridge, Fireworks, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom.
    Remove third-party plug-ins from the application plug-ins folder, and restart the application. If the problem recurs, move the plug-ins back to the application plug-ins folder. If the problem doesn't recur, identify conflicting plug-ins.
    To identify conflicting plug-ins:
    1. Move one third-party plug-in back to the application plug-ins folder.
    2. Restart the application, and try to re-create the problem.
    3. If the problem doesn't recur, repeat step 1. If the problem does recur, contact the developer of the plug-in that you last moved, and inquire about an update.
    Solution 7. Run the application while no other applications are running.
    To maximize available RAM and reduce the chance that another application conflicts with the Adobe application, quit open applications (including virus-protection utilities). Then restart the Adobe application. If applications don't quit as expected, force quit them by choosing Force Quit from the Apple menu.
    Note: Don't force quit the Finder, which is the core Mac OS component.
    Solution 8: Install or run the application with the Login Items disabled.
    To disable nonessential extensions located in the user accounts Login Items folder, press Shift while you restart the computer. Pressing Shift disables any applications that are in the Login Items folder.
    This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue."
    Nothing helped until I installed PRE9 under a different login.  I appears my install must have been bad from the start.  I had originally downloaded the trial and then used the key from the DVD copy I bought to convert it to a licensed version.  I'm thinking something went wrong in that whole deal, should've just reinstalled from the DVD when I got it.  Oh well, all seems well now and I can finally get some editing done!  It actually seems to work smoother than Vegas 9 did.  Could probably use a bit more RAM though.  I only have 4GB.  I know PRE9 can only use 4gb, but windows 7 and background stuff uses over 1GB when the computer is idle, so 8GB might give PRE9 a bit more headroom.
