Convert PAL no video

I have some Mpeg 4, PAL videos I downloaded and want to convert to DV to burn to DVD. They play fine with the perian codec. I have tried converting to NTSC useing QT DV, mpeg 4, .MOV, AVI - all with the same result all I get is audio and a white screen. I can watch it in slipscreen but when I try convert it I get an error every time no matter what I try to convert it to. Any Ideas?
QT 7.6.6
Perian codec
PAL file:
MPEG-4 (Perian), 656 × 512, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
25 FPS
656 x 512 pixels (Actual)

Hi:
You can do it for free using Compressor standard conversion presets.
Check this thread:

It's related to NTSC to PAL, but you can use the same guidelines in the other way.
Besides thatm the posted software is only Windows based:

  • Pal/NTSC video to tv quest

    Hello,
    If I add some PAL formatted videos to my Zen Vision: M can I then play them on a TV by using the video hook-up cables? I know that US tvs use NTSC and cannot play Pal, but I am hoping that by first adding them to my Vision I can get the same quality of sound/video. I am about to buy the av cables from Creative, but if I can only watch PAL videos on my Vision (and not through my TV) then I may not bother gtting the cables.

    Computers don't care whether it is PAL or NTSC so I'd upload it in whatever format it originally was. Besides, you may want to tweak the resolution and frame rate to get a smaller size clip anyway.
    But if the target audience is going to view it on a TV (after burning it to a video-DVD, for example), then it might be a good idea to convert it to the standard they use.

    Yes.
    Use a PAL camera to import the PAL tape.
    Use JES Deinterlacer to convert to NTSC.
    Create a new NTSC iMovie project.
    Import the converted movie.
    Export to NTSC tape using an NTSC camera.

  • Losing audio sync which converting pal to ntsc

    hi
    i have been using nattress standards conversion to convert a 6min DV PAL Video to NTSC.
    it works fine, besides the audio which went out of sync.
    i have tried re-converting to original video to NTSC with the "sync to external audio" but the results are the same.
    am i doing something wrong or is it always like that ?
    is there a way to do it (in compressor ???) without losing to sync ?
    thanx
    nir

    Nir:
    I learned this Compressor settings for standard conversion in previous threads:
    "Load your DV PAL movie into Compressor 2, then choose
    Advanced Format Conversions > DV NTSC from the settings.
    Then, under the Frame Controls tab, alter your settings to:
    Frame Controls: Custom
    Resize Filter: Better (Linear Filter)
    Output Fields: Bottom First
    Deinterlace: Better Motion Adaptive
    Adaptive Details: checked
    Rate Conversion: Better (Motion Compensated)"
    Export your NTSC timeline as Quicktime Movie self contained and use the preset (it takes long but great results).
    It seems to be from Hanumang and was posted by Andynick. Thanks both !

  • Converting PAL DV to deinterlaced Motion JPEG B

    I use the frame control of compressor to deinterlace the recordings of my mini DV camera, converting PAL DV (coded area 720x576, shown area 768x576, pixel format PAL CCIR 601, field dominance: lower) to Motion JPEG B 768x576, square pixels.
    How should I set the Motion JPEG B options - 1 field or two fields, field dominance even or uneven? do these settings matter at all, when deinterlacing with frame control?

    I believe I tried this last year and had the same issue, the client was ok with black and white video so I didn't bother to investigate.
    The camera will obviously play PAL tapes as I have this one playing it, but I live in Illinois and rarely see PAL video in DV format.
    The viewfinder has a PAL icon in the top left so I know it knows it's PAL, but it's in black and white, so I thought I would try to get some input from the pros

  • I finished making an animated .gif image in FireWorks. My question is, how do I convert it into video so that when I edit video, that every video editing program recognizes it? Long story short, How do I convert animated .gif files into video formats?

    I worked in Adobe FireWorks to make the animated .gif. What program do I use to convert the file from .gif to any video format: .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .wmv, etc. I want to convert it into video format, so that QuickTime Player plays the video, I can insert it into iMovie '11 and edit, and also insert it into Final Cut Pro X and edit video.

    Thanks for getting back with me so promptly.  It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
    The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video.   The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport.  He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99.  He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later.  He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
    They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
    First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
    Thanks again!

  • Video Format Total Solution: How to Convert and Edit Video on Windows/Mac

    More and More video formats are coming out with different video encoders and it makes our spare time more and more colorful. However, it is not to say that there is no problems. Actually, different video formats make it difficult to share video with others, even your own camcorder and iPod. Is there an easy way to convert videos effectively. Yes, there is.
    In this article, I will show you guys how to convert videos on windows and mac.
    Part 1. How to Convert and Edit Videos on Windows
    For Windows users, you need a Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html) to do that for you.
    Here I use Aiseesoft Total Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html)
    Step 1: Download and install Aiseesoft Total Video Converter
    After you download it to your computer, double click it and it is really easy to install.
    You just need to click “next” and it will complete it in seconds. It will automatically run after installation.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/screen.jpg
    Step 2: Load Video
    Click “Add File” to find the video that you want to convert and click “open”. It will be loaded automatically.
    Step 3: Select the target to decode
    In the “Profile” drop download list you can find your target according the usage of your output video, such as if you want to put the video on your iPod touch, you can select the “iPod” in the first list and “iPod touch 2 MPEG-4 640*480(*.mp4)” in the second list.
    Step 4: Set Advanced Parameters
    After you select the right output profile, you can click “setting” button to set your advanced parameters. You can adjust video and audio settings separately. In video section, you can change “video encoder”, “resolution”, “frame rate”, “video bitrate”In audio section, you can change “audio encoder”, “sample rate”, “channel”, “audio bitrate”If you want to save this profile and settings and use it next time you can click “save as” button to give a name to it. And the next time you want to use it you can find it in the profile list named “user defined”.
    Step 5: Choose a Destination
    To browse and find a output folder for your output files or just the default one.
    Finally, Click “Convert” button to begin your conversion, here in the converting
    interface you can choose “shut down the computer when conversion complete” or “open output folder when conversion complete” or you just do not choose neither one.
    Tips: How to Edit the Output Video
    This video converter is also a video editor, you can use it to edit your output video as follows:
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/effect.jpg
    1. Effect:
    You are allowed to adjust the “Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Saturation” and you can choose the “deinterlacing” to make the video more enjoyable.
    2. Trim:
    In “Trim” section you can pick up any part of the video to convert.
    There are two ways to select the part of the video you want. One is set the start and end time in the box. The other one is to drag the start and end button in the processing bar.
    3. Crop:
    This function allows you to choose a certain play area to convert. That means you can choose a part of the screen you like to convert. For example, you just like the tv in the middle of the screen, then you can drag the frame around the preview window to select the tv and the output preview will show you the output video.In this section you can also choose the “zoom mode”, such as “keep original”, “full screen”, “16:9”, “4:3”.
    4. Watermark
    In the section, you can add a watermark on the output video to show people something, such as your name, website, studio name or other things. The watermark could be words and picture. You can adjust the transparent of the watermark easily to make it more beautiful.
    Part 2. How to Convert Video on Mac
    This time you need a Video Converter for Mac(http://www.aiseesoft.com/video-converter-for-mac.html)
    Step 1: Add File
    Click “Add File” button to load the video you want to converter
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/mac-video-converter/steps.jpg
    Step 2: Choose profile and adjust settings
    You can find your output video format from a drop-list called “Profile”You can also adjust the specific settings of the output video, such as “Resolution”, “Bitrate”, “Encoder” and so on.

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

    Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
    The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
    Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
    Question 2 (related):
    This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
    Thanks for reading this.

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • How to convert analog SD video from VCR tapes to DVD

    What is the simplest way to convert analog SD video signals from VCR tapes for input to a mac intel mini so that I can create DVDs? Any help would be appreciated.
    Owen

    not sure about doing it on a mac mini, but based on the costs of the equipment needed to do it and the time, your best bet is to take your vcr tapes to costco and let them transfer them to DVD...
    then editing pieces of the dvd's to make a compilation would be fairly easy using any number of software tools for the mac.

    I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

    Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
    If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

    In addition to Mike's suggestions,  you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.
