Changing video standards

Is there a way to change video standards in a project (PAL->NTSC) without having to rebuild the entire project from scratch?
I've created a DVD Studio Pro project with the disk's video standard set to PAL for European use. It contains a couple dozen video assets, links, buttons, &c.
I'd like to change/copy the project to NTSC.
Changing the video standard in the project's info pane results in an error msg saying that the standard can't be changed with video assets in the project.
Removing the assets from the assets pane results in an error that the video is still in use by the project.
Thanks in advance!

Nope!
You must re-encode your assets to NTSC format: videos, menu grahics/backgrounds, etc and reauthor in a new DVDSP NTSC project.
Hope that helps !

  • Changing TV Standard - CRASH! Opening iDVD'04 project

    I raised this before, was hoping that the 7.0.2 update was going to fix but no.
    Is anyone out there from Apple? Helloooo! You have a defective product that I paid
    for and can't use. do you care?
    This is the displayed message when opening a project that was made with iDVD '04
    "Changing TV Standard
    Changing the TV standard will require iDVD to encode all previously encoded assets again."
    Which is total BS anyway as the standard has not changed, it was 4:3 PAL in the project and it is 4:3 PAL in the preferences
    Rapidly losing faith with Apple.
    This is in the console log:

    As a test I took an old iDVD 4 project on my 933 mhz G4 running Panther and saved it as an iDVD ARCHIVE with include Themes and Encoded Assets checked.
    I then opened it on my 1.33 Ghz G4 Powerbook running Tiger and iDVD '08.
    It 'sort of worked'. Things opened fine but I had a broken asset warning on video in the menu button. I was able to drag and drop the movie on the menu in the Map view to get rid of the broken asset warning, but the movie in the menu button doesn't play. The projects preview fine, but without the movie playing in the button.
    Conclusion: an iDVD 4 PROJECT ARCHIVE with Themes and Encoded Assets included DOES open in iDVD '08, but may require some fixing.

  • Switching Video Standard?

    Hi all,
    I'm using iMovie with my Canon Rebel T1i Camera for videos. The T1i records movies at 720p resolution with 30 fps. I've so far created many projects and all look good. However, I just discovered that I had PAL - 25 FPS chosen as "Video Standard" in iMovie preferences (in the video tab). I would like to switch this to NTSC - 30 FPS. However, by choosing this setting all my current projects are now messed up, i.e., the starts and ends of the video clips are now different in the project because of the changed frame rate.
    Can I somehow make the change to NTSC without messing up my current projects? Can I somehow set the Video Standard individually for each project? I would really like to switch to 30 FPS for smoother playback, but I do not want to mess up all my existing projects :-/
    Many thanks and all the best,
    Michael

    .. now all the clips in my projects are wrong, i.e., They start too early and end too soon. I think - as you say - iMovie now interprets my event data as 30 FPS instead of 25 FPS which causes a shift of the clip boundaries for my project.
    hmmm.. not here.. but, to be honest, my few NTSC Projects are very short (just some 'tests') .. hard to tell, if anything gets out of sync, when I switch back to my PAL projects..
    and, as I mentioned above: when you ctrl-click on any of your Event clips/choose 'Reveal in Finder', you'll notice, that the correspoding .mov are 'hardcoded' to 25 (if iM is set to 25), or 29.97 (if iM is set to 29.97...). -
    .. If I re-import my event data, won't that cause all projects to lose their references to the event data?
    that is the sad truth..
    but 'forcing' a video standard conversion (=the underlying QTengine don't just downsamples framerates, it is a conversion) doesn't add any quality.. rule#1 in video: stay in your format (NTSC/PAL)..

  • Unable to change ADF standard text for af_table ("Fetching data...")

    I wish to change the standard "Fetching data..." text displayed by ADF when scrolling through a table.
    Looking at the description in http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/skin-selectors.html, I expect to achieve this by overriding "af_table.LABEL_FETCHING" in my skinning resource bundle.
    I am able to override two af_column messages, but my af_table override does NOT work.
    My bundle looks like this;
    package com.vesterli.demo.skinning;
    import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
    public class MySkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
    @Override
    public Object[][] getContents() {
    return _CONTENTS;
    private static final Object[][] _CONTENTS =
    { { "af_table.LABEL_FETCHING", "Hang loose, dude" },
    { "af_column.TIP_SORT_ASCENDING", "First things first" },
    { "af_column.TIP_SORT_DESCENDING", "The last shall be the first" } };
    My trinidad-skins.xml looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
    <skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
    <skin>
    <id>vesterli.desktop</id>
    <family>vesterli</family>
    <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
    <extends>fusion.desktop</extends>
    <style-sheet-name>css/MySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
    <bundle-name>com.vesterli.demo.skinning.MySkinBundle</bundle-name>
    </skin>
    </skins>
    Since I am seeing my customized column tip texts correctly, the reference from trinidad-config.xml to my skin should be OK (I am also seeing my visual skinning correctly). Since I am seeing some of my texts, my resource bundle must be valid, too. I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.
    So why doesn't the af_table skinning work?
    Any pointers appreciated.
    Best regards
    Sten Vesterli

    I was having this problem too, found this thread and did cleanup here and there, redo etc. But ended up with no luck to fix it.
    Just now discovered the issue is reproducible on the official demo site: table Skinning Key Demo
    1. check the column sorting labels, prefixed with "Demo: "
    2. change any selector setting to trigger a table refresh, it's always displayed as "Fetching Data...", without prefix.(as highlighted in the "Resource styles" on the same page, there should be prefix too).

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
    Thank you,

  • Need to Change the Standard.joboptions on Acrobat 8.0

    We are a Citrix/Terminal Server shop and have clients using Acrobat 8.0 on the server under their citrix session and they need to have the default resolution of the created PDF to change for everyone on the server from 600 dpi to 300 dpi.
    When I try to do this in the printer setup for Acrobat it tells me that I can't edit the Standard.joboptions file and save it over itself. I then tried to manually edit the file with Notepad and it is still showing 600 dpi when I look at the Standard settings.
    I also changed the Standard and set it as 300 dpi and saved it as a different name in the "Settings" folder and when I try to choose it in the drop down list of settings files I don't see that one.
    Am I missing something? How can I set the default resolution to 300?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I don't see how to do that. Is there a document or online resource to help with that?
    Like I said, I saved the changes to another file but then do not see a way to specify that new file as the 'default'.
    Thanks,

  • Changes in standard form

    Hello,
    I have a standard transaction MI21 for physical inventory.
    I need to change the standard form and attached back to this transaction.My first query is how to find the form name in standard program? program name is RM07IDRU.
    Can i copy the original form in zform and make a changes and attach it back to standard program.
    How to do this?
    Please let me know as its an urgent.
    Waiting for positive reply.
    Thanks
    Suchita

    Forms are  INVENT  and INVENT_VKBW you can use either of these accrding to your requirement.
    But if you copy it to Z form then you will be needed to copy the program and then change form names in OPEN_FORM.
    Reward points if useful.

            As you know, we can use T-code "CS20"  to batch change a component's quantity in different Bom by a factor.
           for example:  Component a in Fert. A,  quantity change from 6g x 0.9 = 5.4g
                               Component a in Fert. B,  quantity change from 8g x 0.9 = 7.2g
           now, my question is how to Batch change the standard value in routing. (select by work center)  CA85N can select the value, but seems can not batch change by a factor,

  • Change of Standard Currency Translation Logic

    Hello everybody,
    I need to achieve special goal to for a user request:
    In a BPC planning application using version 5 MS I would like to import data from another data source and perform a currency translation from LC to RC. The application is NOT set-up as a YTD application, as the planners should be able to input data on a periodic basis (i.e. month). So the default currency tranlation would take the LC amount from one month and multiply it with the rate for this month giving the amount in RC.
    I need to change the FX trans logic in a way that the LC amounts are summed up first and then the multiplication with the last FX rate is taken, i.e. similar to a YTD consolidation application. I do not want to change the existing appl into a YTD-appl as monthly input is needed.
    Therefore I need to change the standard FX trans logic from, let's say, "multiply each monthLC value by FX rate and then build the YTD value" into "sum-up each month LC value giving YTD LC value and then multiply by FX rate of the last month".
    Can I achieve that by tweaking the standard FX logic or do I need to set-up a certain FX Business Rule? Do I need a new measure ? How would the coding look like ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    After having updated Ipad2 to IOS7 I can't change Video to Photo and viceversa on photocamera. Solutions?

    Have you tried swiping up or down on the screen in the photos app? When you swipe up or down, that cycles through the Photo, Video and Square modes in the app. The current mode appears in yellow type.
    The screen on the iPad in photos App is going to look different that what you see if you click on the link that was posted for you above - that link shows what the screen will look like on the iPhone, but they are similar.

  • Its not possible to change outlook standard template

    this seems to be a really easy question..
    how do i change the standard-Outlook template ?
    I have tried to update the Tab spacing default from 0.5 to 0.25 but when I close it, it looses the setting!!!
    What I have tried already:
    1. I have opened a new email - changed the setting and saved.  Did not work!
    2. I have opened NormalEmail.dotm - changed the setting and saved.  Did not work!
    3. I have opened Normal.dotm - changed the setting and saved.  Setting works in Word, but not in Outlook!!!
    This is rediculous!!!
    by the way: ist not working either with Outlook 2013
    thanks for any ideas that u have checked upfront..
    ray, switzerland
    raymond reininger

    I've got the same result as you test.
    If you only want to change the Tab spacing default from 0.5 to 0.25, kindly code a vba when you create a new message - automatically change tab stop spacing to 0.25. In Word, we can easily complete it by the code:
    Sub Macro()
        Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.ClearAll
        ActiveDocument.DefaultTabStop = CentimetersToPoints(0.25)
    End Sub
    However, I have no idea how to convert it to Outlook. We may post the question to the forum for Outlook Developer, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction.
