Converting .PES files for DVD burn.

I have been extracting .PES files from my personal video recorder.
I want to burn these files to DVD on my Mac (10.4) but I can't figure out how to do this. Quicktime won't let me view these files but I can view them files using VLC player but exporting to a format that my copy of Toast 8 recognizes is proving very tricky. Can anyone suggest a way or any software that will let me convert .pes files to something toast or quicktime will read?
Many thanks,
Julian

I received the email notification of your original post which read (and I taking the liberty of quoting it as it is interesting) and which I assume you edited:
Embroidery no, but I do sometimes think that it may be a more worthwhile skill to learn instead of messing about with my mac. .PES stands for Packetized elementary stream and you can read all about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PacketizedElementaryStream
I have no idea on how to convert those files, but you could try (depending on the file sizes) dragging the files straight to Toast to see if it will burn it to a DVD.

  • How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

    Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

  • Convert vob files for use in FCP X

    I need to convert VOB files for use in FCP X on my macbookpro in OS X Lion (10.7.5) I use Clipwrap to convert other formats, but it does not seem to accept VOB for conversion (or if it does, I have not figured out how). In searching the web, I've come across several products that tout themselves as the best, fastest, easiest VOB to Prores converters etc., some that advertise as "free" when actually only a watermarked trial version is free. I have no idea of the actual quality of any of these (some examples are Brorsoft video converter for Mac, and Acrok HD Video Converter...), and would like some input from folks w/ experience in these things before dropping $ on the problem.
    In another thread on this site I read something about MPEG Streamclip, & something about needing to separately download an MPG2 converter for it w/ Lion or Mountain Lion - the process sounded confusing and I couldn't tell if it applied to my situation or not...
    Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed.

    MpegStremclip is THE Swiss Army Knife, when it comes to conversion, a 100% reliable, it IS absolutely free (any download a dollar = Stefano would be a millionaire!), I dare to say it is THE most recommended 3d party tool in the editor community ....
    How & why you need to install the mp2 plug-in does Signore Cinque explain in simple words on his website:

  • Convert mts files for editing in Final Cut?

    Is there a way to convert mts files for editing in Final Cut Express or Pro?

    Well, first, if you are talking about AVCHD video, FCE & FCP can directly import it from your camcorder.  They will also import AVCHD from an SD card or even your hard drive provided you have saved the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the .mts files by themselves.
    If you only have the .mts files (without the surrounding AVCHD folder strucutre) then you should be able to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec for editiing in FCE.  MPEG Streamclip is free and works great.
    If that doesn't work, then look into ClipWrap, which has a $49.99 price tag.
    This will work the same for converting .mts files to ProRes assuming you already have FCP installed, which gives you the ProRes codec.
    FCE & FCP do not, however, directly import video from DSLRs because the camera manufacturers have each done some proprietary stuff in their implementation of video in their DSLRs.  However, if you have a Canon DSLR & FCP (that is, FCP 7) there is a Canon EOS video plugin that will enable you import the video directly from the DSLR into FCP7.  Not sure it's supported on Lion (10.7.x) just yet, but if you have a Canon DSLR it's worth a look.

  • Converting wmv files for use in imovie 9 for users who have pc

    To convert wmv files use your pc windows movie maker. (if you have one) On your pc, open windows movie maker, get collections and get your wmv project/video, drag it into the timeline, and then save in your computer, save it as an avi file and rename it. After send file to your memory card reader, that way you can transfer that file onto your mac!! And voila! I tried to email it but file became too large so transfering it to a memory card is the easiest. This took me days to figure out, I hope I have helped someone out there.....

    I don't want to use DV because these .m2t files are from an HDV camcorder and I want to preserve the aspect ratio and resolution in the files. What other "flavor" of HD would you suggest that I convert them to since (a) I can't bring the files into FCP6 or Compressor (b) I don't see any other flavors of HD to use in VisualHub.
    The whole business of converting .m2t files to a FCP6 compatible format, i.e. a Quicktime format, would seem to be one that is commonly encountered, and yet I have never found a thread on this forum that really answers this question: What is the best workflow for converting .m2t files for use in FCP? Surely, one of the pros who frequent this forum must have dealt with this issue and have an answer.
    I don't want to have to recapture the files from tape all over again just to use them in FCP6.

  • For iTunes experts! - My iTunes has been converting WMA files for 11 days!

    My question is: If I exit iTunes (i.e. Reboot my computer) and then go back to iTunes, will iTunes continue finishing the conversion process?
    My iTunes has been converting WMA files for 11 days now..
    It's converting my entire multi-thousand album collection from windows media player into iTunes.
    Will it start where it left off?
    Or, the dreaded, will it start all over again, causing thousands of duplicates in my new iTunes library?
    The ONLY status bar shows the current song, I have no idea which order it's going in or how much longer it has to go.
    I understood it would take a long time to convert the thousands of WMA files into iTunes format, but I have no way to know how much longer it will take, or if it's interupted what will happen!
    Thanks -
    - jb
    Message was edited by: jbmanz

    Understood. If I quit iTunes before it's done converting the files I had previously selected, it will not continue to convert the WMA's to iTunes format. I will have to re-select the songs I want converted.
    Now: What if I select the entire folder (containing all songs, some already converted into iTunes, others not yet converted) - will iTunes RE-Convert songs that it has already converted (therefore creating duplicates in my library)? Or is the software able to recognize that an identical entry is already in its library index?

  • A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit.  When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays.  It appears in the edit, but no audio is played.  This happens consistently.  What setting might be wrong?

    That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
    This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
    a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
    From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
    Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
    Thanks.

  • What's the best way to master an MPEG 2 file for DVD Studio Pro.

    In version 4.5 of FCP I was able to use QuickTime conversion to encode to MPEG2. Now that option is not there. I hate using compressor 2 to create MPEG 2 because when I do the MPEG 2 files always seem to studder and I don't know why. I shot my project in HDV. It is about 64 minutes long. Any suggestions on the BEST way to master an MPEG 2 file for DVD Studio pro? Thanks in advance!
    Peter
    PS - I'm using FCP 5

    Some people have reported a field reversal problem with HDV to SD DVD encodes. There's an Apple technical document on this issue somewhere, but the problem was supposed to be addressed by a Pro Applications update a couple of years ago... This site might help you get to the bottom of the problem.

  • Convert .fla files for Safari and Chrome

    hi boys,
    i need to convert .fla file for Safari and Chrome.
    i pay for that, after new file is tested, and is ok.
    the fee is 40$/file

    I'm afraid you have quite a few html errors on the page I tested  (about us page) that really need to be fixed - and some of them are likely the cause of the browser rendering the pages differently.
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newpathstherapy.com%2Fabout.h tml
    For example, you can only use an ID once per page.
    Also a few CSS errors: - in particular the first one - where you have the missing # hash tag before the color declaration.  The others relate to the styleing of the scrollbar - which isn't worth the effort really because is a PC IE only thing anyway:
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. newpathstherapy.com%2Fabout.html
    I think you have 'overwritten the code for the menu.. particularly the way you have used the IDS - which is causing an issue anyway.  The menu can be made more simply and minimally styled with css - see this list of styling list menus:
    HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL MENUS:
    http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/
    You need to fix those errors and then see how the page stands.  If you have further problems after the 'fix', then post back.

  • Converting MOV files For Best Results in DVD SP

    I have about 60 .mov files between 20-80 MBs that I want to burn to a DVD in DVD Studio Pro. What would be the most efficient way to go about converting these files to fit onto a regular DVD? (I don't have a double layer DVD.)
    I had originally converted some of the MOV files to DV with MPEG Streamclip, but since that makes each video 1-1 1/2 GB each, I stopped. I figured I could recompress the videos in compressor, but I'm not sure what the best method is to go about this.

    If you want them to be playable in a DVD player convert then into mpeg and AC3 files using Compressor (one of the defaults will be fine.). If you just want to store them, put a disc in the computer and drag the files to the disc then burn.

  • Converting Video Files For Windows Premiere Elements Editing

    A client has given me a couple of dozen videotapes, about half MiniDV and the other half VHS-C. He's also given me a 1TB external hard drive.
    He would like the drive returned with a single unedited video file for each tape loaded onto it. He will then edit these tapes in Adobe Premiere Elements on a Windows PC, and ultimately burn DVDs.
    I have the necessary equipment to capture the contents of all of these tapes into FCP, but I have two questions.
    First, what should I convert these files to? I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those, and storage space shouldn't be a problem; all the footage is SD, of course.
    Second, I haven't connected the drive he's given me yet; if I need to format this drive for my MacPro to use, will my customer then have problems accessing the video files? Or, is there a proper way for me to format this drive so that the files will be readable when he gets it back?
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    It's never a good idea to capture on a different NLE than the one which will be used for editing. It can cause all sorts of compatibility problems. There are even issues going between FCP and iMovie -both Mac applications.
    I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those,
    Are you *absolutely sure* about that, given that a PC based NLE typically works with avi files?
    As to your disc formatting questions, you can download the [NTFS-3G driver|http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com> which will let you read, write and even reformat the drive as NTFS on the Mac. All reasonably modern PCs work with this disc format and you won't run into the file size limitations associated with FAT formatted drives.

  • Converting these files for Mac

    Hello, I am having alot of difficulty getting these .AVI files to run on my Macintosh. The files play the correct duration, but there's a different problem with each that doesn't allow it to work. For the first file, there's no audio at all (my speakers work fine), and the picture is entirely black. I tried using DivX Doctor II but all it fixed was the audio. The video is still not appearing at all. I tried using DivX Converter (which took a long while), and the only change was that the picture now is all white rather than black. I wanted to burn this file to a DVD, but putting it in Toast Titanium didn't change it either. I've been looking all over the internet and have downloaded stuff hoping it would help and I have no luck (Flip4Mac, for example, did nothing at all). Quicktime tells me there may be something about this file that requires a codec I don't have, so it takes me to their page, but I didn't see anything there either. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html
    More information about the first file:
    Format: WMV3, 640 x 480 pixels size, Millions (of colors I assume), MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
    FPS: 24.04
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing)
    Data Size: 290.64 MB
    Data Rate: 1785.75 kbits/sec
    One difference I've noticed in AVI files I can play is that the Format is DivX 5.0 rather than WMV3. This apparently has something to do with me not being able to view these on the Mac. With my PC, with VLC player especially, they run fine. But they don't work on my Mac, even with the Mac version of VLC, and even so I don't see how it'd help with getting Toast to see it. All I can see to do is convert these files. I posted about this on a different forum and was told they can only be converted on a PC. But I have no idea what to use to convert them. Here's the information on the other two files:
    Second file:
    Video, but no audio at all
    Format: Generic MPEG-4, 704 x 400, Millions
    'ms ', Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    FPS: 23.98
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing)
    Data Size: 919.70 MB
    Data Rate: 1765.84 kbits/sec
    Third file:
    No video, and the audio glitches constantly.
    Format: MP42, 640 x 360, Millions
    MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100 kHz
    FPS: 23.98
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing)
    Data Size: 183.64 MB
    Data Rate: 3925.53 kbits/sec
    If anyone can tell me how to convert these, whether it be on a Mac or a PC, I'd be very grateful. I really need these to work on a Mac, preferably on the Toast Titanium program, so I can make DVDs out of them. I'm really at a loss. Thanks.

    VLC for Mac? For the first, it says "An error has occured which has probably prevented the execution of your request: main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format."
    For the second, it says "An error has occured which has probably prevented the execution of your request: ffmpeg: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)"
    VLC will play the third, but I still can't get Toast Titanium to see it.

  • Problems with audio in quicktime file for dvd authoring

    i have converted sequence into quicktime file for burning into dvd. i have am experiencing some problems with voice over which disappers and comes back later in the quicktime file when i play it. this quicktime file is made as self contained movie. I have traced this back to the original sequence in the timeline to a white line or series of line in at the top of the time line. one is for video and the other is for audio. when the first line appears the voice over gets interrupted and audio stops in the quicktime file but its ok in the timeline. when the white line shows again the voice over can be heard again in the quicktime file and audio stops again at the start of another white line. there is no loss of audio in the sequence in the timeline. so please can someone help me understand what the problem is.

    thanks tom. i am refering to render bar in the timeline, upper for video and lower for audio. May be i shoud describe them as white line gaps between dark grey or steel grey bar color.
