Combo Formatted HD DVDS

Is the MacBook Pro capable of playing these?

I'm guessing it would play it fine just like any other DVD, since it is HD DVD and DVD in one and would have to play on any normal DVD player for those formats to even sell. I'll be pretty suprised if it doesn't work. Give it a shot.

    How do I format a DVD copy for multi-zone or Zone 1?
    Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.3
    I have to send a DVD copy to a festival. They need it formatted for multi-zone or for Zone 1 (North America). How can I make sure it's formatted like that?

    I don't claim direct experience with that, but I *believe* (as in "I could be wrong, but")  that if you burn a DVD from inside FCP X, the program will take a clue from the frame rate of your project: a 25fps project will produce a PAL DVD, a 29.97 will do NTSC.

    Thanks

    It should be able to handle commercially-made movie double-layer DVDs.

  • Moving to UK from Canada: Will format 1 DVDs work on Macbook from UK store?

    Hello,
    I am going to be moving to London, and I understand that the DVDs there are a different format than the ones in North America. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether my old DVDs will work on a Macbook purchased from the UK Apple store. I know some DVD players play all DVD formats from around the world, but I was curious if a UK Macbook would only play format 2 or format 1 as well.
    Thanks!

    good grief! pay attention please.
    Er, strikes me that you should. As far as anyone here knows OP doesn't even have a MacBook yet, or indeed any kind of Mac. He/she doesn't say so. Just to clarify I've marked the salient points in bold.

  • Output to NTSC format for DVD

    Hi,
    I am from the UK, I filmed some DVCAM footage in PAL format, but bringing it into FCP to output onto NTSC and onto DVD for a Canadian conference / Broadcast.
    Can i simply change my project and capturing settings to
    get the footage to run at NTSC (even though it was filmed in PAL?)
    And if i want a UK edit of the film do I need to recapture all my clips at PAL settings or can this be done via the DVD output???
    cheers
    Chris

    Sadly no its not that simple not so much because the image sizes differ but more because of the difference in frame rates.
    Your options after you input edit and master in PAL
    Convert to NTSC using a transfer house
    Convert to NTSC using Compressor (can be slow)
    Convert to NTSC using Nattress' plug-ins (will cost you money but they work)
    http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
    Convert to NTSC using JES Deinterlacer (free and works)
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html#DEI
    This will give you an NTSC Master to compress for DVD

  • Best Recording Format for DVD's ?

    I'm recording 60+ minute footage to eventually transfer to DVD - we use this for our business and it must be DVD.  I'm using iMovie and iDVD.  I understand DVD's are not HD, but the problem is that the final product is not very good - pixilated.  Would it look better to record in SD instead of HD?  I use a newer Sony and it has an HQ option. Would this make the final product, as seen on DVD, look better? 
    On the other hand, am I missing something in iMovie or iDVD?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    There are two things
    • DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-Video
    Feeding it HD - will not improve but degrade the picture as down-scaling function is not good
    Using iMovie'08 to 11 - makes things even worse - as non of them can deliver 1090% interlaced SD-Video any way known to me to iDVD. They discard every second line - resulting in a severe quality loss.
    So
    • Recording in  full SD-Video quality - streamingDV - and
    • using iMovie HD6 or FinalCut (any version)
    • Keeping all in same frame rate - PAL to PAL or NTSC to NTSC
    • High quality DVD brand - I use Verbatim (only)
    • DVD-R - as they play on more and even older DVD-players
    • Pro Quality encoding
    • Burn Speed - set down to x2 or x4 (less burn errors)
    • minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk (others do not count)
    • all audio in .aiff - NO .mp3 or other exotic formats
    Will result in best possibly DVD

  • 915G combo HDD CD-DVD question

    Hi I have a new 915G combo MB with latest bios etc.
    Here is the question, i have Boot Hdd on the blue IDE1 as c/s the 2 CD-DVD CD/R-RW on IDE 2 as c/s,
    in bios it reports
    Pri master       not detected
    pri secondary   not detected
    sec master      not detected
    sec secondary not detected
    thi master       detected maxtor 160gb
    thi secondary   not detected
    the 2 CD rom detected in raid.
    Ok it works but why isnt the maxtor detected as primary master as normal when in IDE1 slot?
    also why the bios does not detect the 2 CD roms.
    Also if i disable the on board raid, and use IDE bus mastering in bios the HDD light is lit all the time.
    Thanks for any help on this
    All the best Thomas

    IDE bus mastering is not for the RAID controller. Check in the Integrated Peripherals, look for the RAID controller settings, either it's disabled, RAID, or IDE. If you only seen Disabled and RAID, then you'll need to go into the RAID controller setup instead of BIOS setup to change to IDE. If still can't do this, then you have to follow my suggestion in the first place.
    I guess you've already have the perception on MSI board and I don't think anyone can convince you further. Good luck to you on whatever board you use in the future. You're welcome back here if you have any MSI related questions.

  • Dual format on dvd

    FCP5.1.4
    Would like to create dual format for one dvd. 4:3 and 16:9
    Small still slide show of about 60 jpeg pictures.
    Not sure how to approach this. Set up two seperate sequences- one for 4:3 and the other 16:9? Then compress for DVD studio Pro?
    Or just import slides into Studio Pro and not use FCP?
    Suggestions?
    Steve

    Pictures were shot with a digital camera in 4:3 format or at least when I imported them into a 4:3 preset sequence, they appear to be correct.
    My thought was that if I used FCP correctly I could upconvert them to 16:9 and make them look like wide screen correctly as well. Then I saw DVDSP slideshow function and tested the waters to see if anyone had done this using DVDSP.
    FCP is nice but time consuming.

  • Understanding Mac OS Extended format for DVD media

    I am typically burn my files and folders on the Desktop. The reason I do this is that I hope the files will be readable on both a Mac and a PC. They seem to be do that just fine. But it was not until today that I noticed that these DVD's end up being formatted as "Mac OS Extended" even though Windows XP with Service Pack 3 can read them just fine. But I also have an older DVD that was burned the same way and also says it is formatted in the "Mac OS Extended" format. But that DVD is not readable on my PC even though it is readable on my Macbook. I am trying to understand if something changed in the Mac operating system that changed with this format. I am also trying to understand the Mac OS Extended format and primarily what is the BEST way to burn a DVD that works on a PC and a Mac.
    Thank you for any help you might be able to offer.
    Garry

    On the Mac, it says the format of the DVD is Mac OS Extended but when you run it on WIndows XP with SP3, it says the DVD is formatted as UDF (Universal Disc Format) which I think is interesting because I burned several DVD's on my PC in the UDF format version 2.5, which is the latest, but the Mac OS could not read them. So it must be an older version of UDF Apple is using or some type of custom format that Apple uses.

  • Most Compatible Format for DVD Players

    I am trying to burn a project on some dvds. I have an external burner, and good media. I want to make sure that I am making it as compatible as possible, however. Right now, what I am doing is I have exported the project to full quality dv and am then converting it and burning in Toast. Is there another process that I am unaware of that would make the discs more compatible than the one I am currently using?

    Make sure to keep it in NTSC format. PAL doesn't play in all Players, and you might have problems getting it to play.
    As far as a different process, they way you are doing sounds a little out of the way. Why not just burn it through iDVD or iMovie? The quality of everything I burn from iDVD is perfect. Just a suggestion.
    But the way you are doing it won't make it less compatible.
    Just make sure it is a DVD-R(+R's suck), a good brand, Apple or Verbatim, and just burn it at the Best Quality, slower burn speed and you should be fine.
    Good luck!

  • Best Format for DVD?

    Hi.
    I'm wanting to put all my various iMovie projects onto a DVD. Obviously there is no way of amalgamating various projects into one so what is the best format to "share" each project so that I can then make one project using all the saved projects. I think it's DV. Anyone disagree? Or have a better suggestion?
    Thanks

    You could also export your iMovie Projects to "full quality" QuickTime files (.dv) and then edit them using QuickTime Pro.
    Cons: Lots more hard drive storage is required.
    Pros: Fast, easy to edit files that could be put into a single file (or multiple files if needed). No more editing in iMovie required and these source .dv files could then be deleted once your "final" file is created.
    iDVD can make a DVD up to nearly two hours in duration when it compresses your .dv files to MPEG-2 format.

  • Help with Format for DVD Project

    I have been using FCP to create video with two tracks of audio (one instrumental & one vocal).
    I want to learn about format for output to DVD. I have exported as QuickTime movie and stereo downmix so that I have one track of audio in DVDSP and when it plays on 2 speakers I have the two channels of audio - one on instrumental, one vocal. Cool. To get that I must use Custom Settings as I learned from another thread posted here last week or so.
    Question #1:
    +What format do I use when I enter that custom setting window for the Aspect Ratio?+ I think it should be 4:3, yes?
    Question #2:
    Maybe I should be using Compressor. If yes - +how do I get those 2 tracks in FCP to get into that stereo downmix format? How do I get the 2 separate audio files in to compressor and output to DVDSP?+
    If in that process I end up with 1 video file and 2 audio files and import those assets into DVDSP, +Will I be able to have one audio track that has 2 channels? or will I be able to have 2 audio tracks that play on two different speakers?+
    I seem to be able to get the results I want most of the time, but I am basically phutzing around and somehow God honors it - I wish I knew more what I was doing.

    Depends on the source material, if it is 4:3 then 4:3 would be proper if it is 16:9 (HDV or anamorphic would in all likelihood be the ones you are using (?) then 16:9 would be the aspect ratio
    Question #2:
    Maybe I should be using Compressor. If yes - +how do I get those 2 tracks in FCP to get into that stereo downmix format? How do I get the 2 separate audio files in to compressor and output to DVDSP?+
    In older version of AC3 encoder (a.Pack) you could use two seperate files in and assign left right
    To export each side individually you should mute one audio track then export the other then reverse to get the other file (also look at page IV-147, IV-151 of the Final Cut Pro Manual - Chapter is called Exporting Audio for Mixing in case we looking at different versions)
    But if you bring the two audio files into DVD SP like that you will hear only one audio track (in DVD SP) at a time.
    If you take a look at Chapter 7 Page 96, Page 100 of the PDF (at least in the PDF I just popped up, not sure which Compressor you are running, it is in the section Creating Dolby Digital Professional Files) it describes the encoding selections a bit more.
    Are you running into an issue? Sounds like you are not (which is good )

  • Save Formats for DVDs for use on Computer

    I'm using a pre-loaded DVD template to create a DVD with a Title menu, scene menu, etc.  Is there any option for me to save this format for use on my computer only?
    Instead of burning this to a DVD, I'd like to save the final product as a file with the same function as the DVD (usable menu, skip to set scene markers, etc).  Does that make sense?
    The idea is to not have to burn 10+ DVDs, but save these files to a flash drive and access them through a computer or TV.
    I'm using Premiere Elements 12.
    Thank you!

    Salvatij
    Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on what computer operating system?
    Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for the moment and DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc....
    1. You could consider Publish+Share/webDVD which is really a flash file that comes with disc menu of your choice.
    The saved folder from the process can be played back on the computer using Foxfire and Internet Explorer. I do not see you playing that back on TV.
    2. In Premiere Elements, if you export Timeline content to file saved to the computer hard drive, menus are not included.
    Please review the above. I am think about this some more.
    Thanks.
