Convert mts to burn video with idvd

What's the best way to convert/ import MTS video files from camcorder to IDVD for burning & playback on any DVD player?

Hi  mariofromabbotsford
Popular Digital HD DV cameras allow a professional HD MTS video format more and more in front of everybody, MTS Converter ormat is exactly what kind of format allows many users helpless. MTS is a very common kind of high-definition video camera recording format, the video encoded using H.264, audio coding using the AC-3, the biggest advantage is to achieve a standard full HD 1080P, the picture quality is very clear, while MTS video format support Built-in subtitles, multiple audio tracks, add a timestamp, etc. These advantages are well suited for use in high-definition DV features.
I hope you can help.

  • Error message when burning HD with iDVD

    When i try to burn a HD movie directly from iMovieHD( v. 5,02) with iDVD( v. 5.0.1), i get an error message code OX8002006D, followed by another:
    "Burning Finished.---errors were found during burning process."
    and "there was a problem during multiplexing/burning"
    and the disk is ejected blank.
    With a Standard Definition movie, using the same DVD-R or DVD+R disks(4X) and same procedure, i have no problem. The movie was only about 2 minutes long with about 19 GB available.
    Anybody out there who knows what's wrong?

    There are a bunch of folders within your home folder, you may want to decide what exactly you want to back up or not.
    Besides your personal folders (Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures), you may want to decide whether you need to back up the library folder. The library folder generally contains preferences for most of your applications, and also caches and applications support files. These can become really big in some cases (Mine is more than 8GB, will not fit on a dual layer DVD). And the Library>Caches folder contains temporary files that will change from time to time, this might be the cause of your previous error since the shortcut is no longer valid.
    Once you chose your files and make sure they will fit on your blank CD/DVD, you can just do what you did before, drag the folders to a Burn folder, make sure you are not running any other apps, so they won't be modifying the files.
    There are programs you can use to backup to CD/DVD, Disc burner like Toast will span across several discs if the data does not fit on one. For a more automated solution, Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) can backup to disc images which you can then burn to discs. I personally don't know a lot backup programs that provide good support for CD/DVDs, so I'll leave this to other folks.
    If you are going to backup regularly, I would recommend spending some money on an external drive. You can find quite a few free software for automated backup and saves money and time on burning CD/DVDs. Plus you have the advantage of being able to boot from the external drive should anything bad happened to your internal one.

  • Premiere elements 12: how 2 burn video with menu on avchd disk with 1280x720

    Hi, I have a source HD video (from TV) in resolution 1280x720/50. In export presets for avchd disk I only can find presets for 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. I'd like to export this video with menus in 1280x720 which is original resolution to AVCHD disk.
    How to handle?
    Regards, Juergen

    Juegen
    No version of Premiere Elements lets you produce a DVD disc with or without menus with AVCHD format of 1280 x 720 at 50 progressive frames per second.
    The burn to disc, DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray are offered as you found them.
    You could burn your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content to a file AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) via Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p50. And, then burn that file to a DVD disc as data disc if the disc capacity allowed. But you would not have any menus. Disc menus are offered only for burn to disc/burn to folder. And, important, stop markers do not function at playback of the Premiere Elements (any version) AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
    Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • Can't burn imovie with idvd & can't keep the audio and video clips to ancho

    Two questions:
    I've been working on a series of short digital stories in iMovie and have been trying to put them on a dvd. Using iDVD wasn't successful. Couldn't get them loaded into the map on the DVD theme page. So I dragged finally gave up and dragged the iMovie filesinto the DVD icon on my desktop and burned them. But now I have to drag the iMovie file from the DVD onto the harddrive before I play them.
    I would like to have all of the short movies in one DVD.
    I would also like to have one longer iMovie file but I'm having a devil of a time making all of the files, audio, video, photo, etc. stay in place while I'm working on each section. Perhaps this isn't feasible?
    With thanks for any help you can give me. I'm a novice at this program but enjoying the challenge.

    Were you dragging the project file into the right place? Try a simple theme like the Portfolio Colour theme under the iDVD3 collection. By the way, the simple thing first, I hope you were using iDVD5 not iDVD4.
    There can also be problems if the iMovie projects were created in iMovie4 and converted to iMovieHD. If this is the case load each one again. Make some simple change, undo if you wish, then save again.
    In any case try using file > Import and note what happens. I think this (old fashioned) way is easier than gragging in the projects. You can tidy them up later.

  • 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:
    iPhoto '11: Make a slideshow
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2333
    Next, you will have to export the slideshow as a movie using the steps in this article:

  • Burnning iMovie with iDVD on 4 gig CD

    I have been creating an iMovie and I burned it by using iMovie buttons. The iDVD opened and processed (burned) the iMovie but at the very end it stopped and reported an “erro” another time it just crashed, ejecting the CD. I noticed that the size of the iMovie file was 7 gigs. I have allot of clips (most unused) associated with this movie.
    I am quessing the size of file ( 7 gig) and CD 4 gig capacity is the problem. But I don’t have that much in use in the actual file. Any help appreciated.

    OK - I assume you mean you have DVD media (about 4GB) and NOT CD media (about 700 MB)
    iDVD compresses your source material with mpg-2 compression so the size of your raw source material in GB isn't important. What IS important is the running time of your iMovie project in minutes. A single layer DVD can hold abou 60 minutes in Best Performance mode and 120 minutes in Best Quality mode.
    By way of reference, if you raw source mateial was in DV fomat, 60 minutes of DV format content is about 13GB.
    I doesn't sound like the length of your source material is your problem.

  • Maximizing HD Video with iDVD/DVD Studio Pro and dual layer DVD

    I have 30 minutes of edited home video from iMovie HD and I am trying to use iDVD to burn the project. I have a dual layer DVD+ disk and would like to maximize the quality of the project to 8 gigs. Each time I change the project info, etc. the project still is just 1 gig. Any suggestions, please....

    iDVD produces NTSC/PAL videoDVDs within the specs given by the socalled Red Book Standards...- max bitrate is 8 - 9kB/sec... which is, in your case 30min=1GB
    (but: iDVD "wastes" a lot of bandwidth for PCM audio....)
    DVDSP/Compressor allows a manual setting of bitrates, so you can devide the max. rate wiser between audio and video... but some dvdplayers (esp. software ones in the PC world) don't handle such high bitrates...
    as said above, no homebrewn HiDef DVD so far, lets see, what 10.5 and the new ProMacs will bring to us....

  • Burn movies with idvd

    i have a external hard drive that have movies on it. I'm trying to burn a movie from my external hard drive thru my idvd to play on my home dvd player.

    You can share the first movie from iMovie, but all the others will need to be exported from iMovie as movies and dragged into the iMovie project.

  • Poor image quality after burning with idvd

    I used Final Cut Express to make a 45min movie. When I preview the finished product as a Quicktime file it looks great. BUT when I burn it with idvd, the quality of the video is terrible! Jagged diagonal lines, some color loss, some dancing pixels,...
    I have been trying to find the solution to this problem for days on end, I have burned about 20 dvd's now, all in different settings and so on, but the quality is not improved.
    First I thought it was my tv, but then I put the dvd in my mac and compared the same scene from my quicktime file with the scene on the dvd, and the difference in quality is staggering! For instance, diagonal white road markings are crisp on the quicktime file, but jagged on the dvd.
    What is idvd doing with my movie????? Help me!

    My Final Cut Express movie (.mov file) is crisp, and interlaced.
    You are missing the point - your CRISP FCE movie is mpg-2 compressed by iDVD - that's what DVDs are - mpg-2 compressed video content. Unfortunately, mpg-2 is a very low quality CODEC compared to modern CODECs like h.264.
    The best image quality out of iDVD will result in using the 'Best Performance' mode of encoding - this requires your content be under 60 minutes for a single-layer disc.
    'Best Performance' encoding uses fixed bit-rate encoding that produces a DVD with about as high playback bit-rate as can be supported by set-top DVD players.
    You have three choices: (1) live with the mpg-2 compression on a DVD because you can't do anything about it, (2) use the h.264 CODEC out of FCE and create a data DVD with the file that can be played back in computers, (3) make a Blu-ray disc if you have the equipment and buy the software.

  • Idvd can't burn .mov with error message

    Hi guys,
    I just finished a 57 min. project with Final Cut Express4 containing 8 sequences. I export them separately.  I burned them with idvd : File>Export>Quick Time Movie (self contained uncheck), I include Audio & Video as usual and save them in the Movie Folder as .mov; everything goes fine and I can watch them both in computers and TVs. But when I export the entire project with chapter markers (exactly the same way I did for the above), the result is different, and the idvd refuse to burn it, an error message says ”unsupported file type: broken reference movie”.   Those exported in separate sequences are shown as .mov with a picture icon in my Movie Folder while the other 2 exported with chapter markers are also shown with .mov but with a QuickTime Movie icon.  Although these with Quick Time Movie icon are not accepted by the idvd, I still can burn them through the dvdproj file, but the product can be played with computers only.
    I know I must have done something wrong but I don’t know what it’s.  Some one is kind enough to help please.
    Thank you.

    First of all, thank you folks for the responds.  I check back as suggested and found the following: -
    Hi Al
    All the Chapters Markers are more than 2 seconds apart and are more than 2 seconds from start points; all sequences are well butted without any gap in between.  However there are markers marked a few frames after the sequences started, which means the previous sequence ended a few frames before the Chapter Markers.  If this is overlap, what should I do from here?  Please walk me through.  Thank you again.  puisum
    Hi MartinR
    I am sure you read my response to Alchroma. You both having valuable points.  Now, this is a very good question “if I nest the sequences”. To be honest with you, I am not 100% sure what I did (because this project have been sitting in my computer for 9 months) I but I think I start the entire project with only one sequence at the beginning and I use copy & paste to make the 8 sequences after I put in the chapter makers.  At this point, I have found some problems on the Chapter Markers and I am sure Alchroma doesn’t mind to walk me through then I will take it from there.  Please don’t give up on me yet.  Thank you in anticipation.  puisum

  • Problems with the interlaced Fields after burning with iDVD

    The original quicktimes have interlaced frames and once I burn them with iDVD seams that there is a problem with the fields, like they are in ht ewrong order or something.
    Is there something I'm not doing right?
    Anyone?
    jd

    I Have a similar problem my apple health app hasn't worked from day one - I use my fitness pal and no matter what I do it just doesn't communicat or pass information to apples app - ive even tried a different steps app and that doesn't communicat either. Even running on ISO 8.2 hasn't  rectified connectivity issues.
    I Wonder if apple is aware of these issues lol

  • Burn failures in iDVD

    I'm getting a very high rate of burn failures with iDVD. When I create a DVD the program rattles thru its various tasks but when it comes to 'burning' the drive keeps revving up but fails to 'get going' - after about half a dozen attempts the disc ejects and the comment is that 'errors were found...' (or words to that effect).
    I'll re-do the project and maybe it'll work and maybe it wont - its frighteningly random. Tried different discs - that doesn't appear to be the deciding factor. But once a disc has failed there are no signs of 'burn' on it and yet it will be useless... With a success rate of less than 50% its getting to be quite expensive!

    Thanks for the response to my iDVD problem.
    I did as you suggested and created a disk image of the project - tried to open it with DVD player but it couldn't see it. I quickly made disk images of DVD projects that had been successful but they weren't seen by the player either - perhaps I misunderstood that particular part of the scenario.
    Anyway, I re-created the project with a newly-made file and it worked fine - but as I said - its all fairly random and success rates are low.
    My projects are always created in FCP5. I use DVD-R's - the last batch being 16x.
    I don't use MP3's because they still don't work properly in FCP so I don't think the problem lies there.
    Any other suggestions gratefully received.

  • Converting HD to SD to burn a DVD with iDVD

    Hello,
    I bought myself an HD-camera with a Hard Disk (Sony HDR-XR500E). The native format is AVCHD.
    When I transfer the video to my iMac (Intel Core Duo 2,16GHz) I can see the video in my Final Cut Express where the video is transcoded in Apple Intermediate Codec AIC format.
    The editing works fine. The pictures are sharp and there are no visible artefacts.
    I can export the timeline to Quicktime Movie, and the result is a rather big .mov file.
    When I playback this file it appears automatically in a FCExpress window, and I have no problem playing the file.
    When I use that .mov file to create a DVD with iDVD the there is a problem. When there is amore than a little bit of movement in the picture, the vertical transitions become distorted (jagged). It looks like I see an interlaced picture where both frames are displaced a little bit. This effect is very good visible when I stop the movie playing.
    I see the same effect when I playback the same .mov file in the Quicktime player.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I see no place where I can manipulate settings in iDVD or Quicktime.
    It is strange that I don’t see this problem when I export my timeline using Quicktime Conversion to create a file for the internet (eg Broadband high).
    Who can give me a hint?
    Thx

    Hello Tom,
    Sorry for the late reply but the last few days I had other things to my mind.
    In the meantime I realise why I was confused, … and you gave me the understanding or the missing link to understand what was happening.
    My original problem was burning a HD project I made in FCE on a DVD in SD.
    I thought that:
    1. FCE made an export in a HD format, … and this is right.
    2. iDVD could only accept a movie file in SD, … and this was wrong.
    That’s why I was looking for a method to convert my HD-movie in an SD-movie to feed iDVD.
    So my problem is solved.
    Bringing a HD movie from FCE to iDVD is very simple: It’s the same as bringing a SD movie to iDVD. iDVD recognizes an HD movie, and does the conversion to SD automatically. So my problem is solved. I produced a DVD starting from my HD movie and it looks as good as the movies I made in the past with my old DV-camera.
    It’s a pity I couldn’t find the workflow, to turn a HD movie made by FCE into a SD movie on a DVD using iDVD, in the documentation of FCE or iDVD.
    Why was I confused?
    When I was looking at the playback in the canvas window I saw rather good pictures (no artefacts).
    When I was looking at the exported movie with my QT player I saw a lot of interlacing artefacts. That’s why I thought there was something wrong with the coding of the exported video, … but it wasn’t.
    Your explanation about looking at the canvas window in 100%, and the fact that viewing at any other than 100% was showing a reduced resolution (with interpolation, using only one field) made me understanding the problem.
    I did a few tests to verify my thinking. In FCE I used de-interlacing on the video. In the canvas I saw a rather good picture nearly the same as the original (without de-interlacing). When I exported that de-interlaced video and viewed this file in QuickTime, the artefacts were gone.
    So, my conclusion is: Don’t use QuickTime to control an exported movie from FCE, because QT is using an interpolating scheme with both fields. The result is absolutely bad especially when there are fast moving objects in the movie.
    Tom, thanks again for your help.
    I was just wondering what kind of education you have in video, because you seems to know what you are talking about.

  • How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

    How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success!  Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion.  While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post.  A suggestion in that direction would help.
    Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media.  It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD".  A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV.  Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago.  I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems.  There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
    If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

  • Mpeg2 files converted to DV files..how do I "share" with iDVD for burning?

    Newbie question here...thanks for all the great info I have found here already...but need some more. I'm using an iMac with OS X 10.4.7, QT Pro, downloaded MPEG StreamClip, and purchased MPEG Playback as suggested on this board.
    Here's the situation:
    I have analog Hi8 Sony camcorder (CCD-TRV98) with NO USB, firewire, etc. connection...just good ol' SVideo. Was able to "capture" old home movies using analog to digital coverter through my Windows Desktop. Saved files in mpeg formats and avi formats on external hard drive.
    Plugged external hard drive via firewire port on iMac. I can play the movie files in Streamclip and can "convert" to DV files...and I can import them into iMovie fine....but when I try then "share" with iDVD the program encodes for literally hours....i finally gave up for a tiny movie after 2 hours of "encoding"....think this is a problem with my rookie status of using iMovie, or are my files a problem? Does the fact that I'm saving the files off a Desktop and using on Mac matter? If I'm converting the files to DV in Mac, would the Desktop influence even matter? (Are you rolling your eyes at me yet? R-O-O-K-I-E here and I know it, but hey I'm trying!
    Hope I have explained my situation well...if not let me know what I left out. I could really use the help...I have 30+ Hi8 movies that I want to burn to DVD for family and archiving purposes.
    Thanks,
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iDVD,

    the combo Streamclip + Apple plug-in is the most recommended here...
    yepp, iMovie "prefers" dv only... relying on the QTengine, it can import some other formats/codecs... as mpeg4, you could be lucky, to make it accept an .avi container with the right codec inside...
    .avi is a PC media container, as .mov in the Apple world: just a "wrapper", containing maning codecs, formats, standards, not-so-standards...
    so, if your Windows app allows export as ".avi, codec dv", it should work... there's no 100% gurantee with that PCMac swapping....
    how can I get iMovie to "share" with iDVD for burning? iDVD will not open the movie made in iMovie....?
    now that a new - and surprising! - topic...
    you have some options, how to share to iDVD:
    * inside iM there's a iDVD button under the pane... (I don't own iM6...)
    * you should safe your project into the Movies folder, then launch iDVD, create new project, in the media bin/movie you should find your movie...
    * create new iDVDproject and drag'n drop project from Finder/Movies into iDVD window....
    I asked you, to tell us your free disk space on internal drive... see my last post... please tell us... , a 2min project should be rendered in a few minutes...
    did you read the turtorials before using the iApps?
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials
    coming from the PC world, some workflows differ..
    we MacUser say: are easier to accomplish.. ;-))
    Plan B)
    ... in case, you own a miniDV camcorder, playout files from PC to tape, then import as usual into iM/iDVD... digital copies, no loss in quality..
    good luck
    thanks for usage of forum's marker feature ...!
