Create a DVD | Video resolution issue - HD or FullHD

Hi,
I created a new project selecting PAL and AVCHD 1920x1080 16:9 25fps video. The original AVCHD video in FullHD is 9GB.
I now have to create a DVD and end the project selecting to burn it on a 4,7 GB DVD but wish to preserve the FullHD if possible.
When selecting the option to burn the DVD I get in the drop down menu 4 selections being 2 for NTSC and 2 for PAL: PAL and PAL Widescreen.
Obviously as the project is 16:9 I should select Widescreen but I do not know if I will end up having the video in FullHD.
Here are my few questions:
1. how to be able to burn a FullHD video project into a 4,7 GB DVD if i do not see any FullHD selection in the drop down menue for DVD category? Is this because DVD category does not manage FullHD?
Reading through some manual I believe that it is AVCHD the selection I should use, rather than DVD. Is this correct?
Also, what resolution would Pal Widescreen record?
Lastly, how to find out which resolution i now have the project being burned on this DVD?
2. If I know that my project in FullHD is bigger than 4,7 GB DVD what should I do, when I create a new Premiere EL project, in order to get the best resolution? Should I select still AVCHD but HD resolution even if I will not know if it will be sufficient?
Can someone please share with me what is the correct discernment to use for preparing a new project and/or handling the video settings for getting the properl DVD result?
Thank you

A DVD made to play in a DVD player, not a BluRay "hybrid" as Hunt described, which requires a BluRay player, may NOT be HiDef... only Standard Definition
As far as I know, NTSC is 720x480 (with a PAR flag to determine regular 4:3 or widescreen 16:9 playback)
I do not know the exact size of a PAL screen but since you mention PAL, you should be able to find out the screen size for your part of the world

QT video resolution issues from Apple podcast server

My video is low res. 7.6.6 on OSX 10.5.8 has disabled the media settings. I have tried to change the settings for "instant on" but it keeps defaulting to the on position in the medium range. I tried to re-install 7.6.4 but while the player shows that it has been properly installed when i go to the QT pro registration it is still showing that it is 7.6.6. QUESTION How do I re-configure QT pro for my firefox browser so that I get the proper resolution (I don't want to upgrade to the newest OS yet.

"Instant On" setting is for "streaming" media:

It has nothing to do with the video resolution.

Still Having Video Resolution Issues

After latest software update only able to get 1024x768 with a couple of annoying lines of distortion on left side of screen. Xbox 360 and new Sony media player can be adjusted to use screen to full potential. Would sure be nice to be able to adjust video on Apple TV 2. Family really likes ATV2, besides this video issue.
Make: Panasonic
Model: TH-50PHD8 (plasma)
Connected: HDMI to DVI input (w/ HDCP)

HDMI>DVI conversion is not supported by apple.
But the problem is not with DVI (HDMI to DVI is no conversion, the video signal is the same) but with the implementation of the HDMI specification Apple is doing with the ATV2. Other devices with HDMI to DVI cable or adapters are working, so it must be possible with the Apple TV 2. There is even no need to support DVI only TVs, it will just work when the HDMI specification is fully implemented. And the more it should work if those affected TVs support HDCP over DVI. Even Mac OS X recognises my TV (it shows Philips FTV in the System Preferences in Displays) and is offering the possible resolutions for my TV (480p, 720p, 1080i, and some more). I sent feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ 2 times already, explaining about my TV and the possible resolutions and refresh rates.
I still believe it is possible to solve all those resolution problems with the ATV 2 via firmware update, and this will also include those with DVI only TVs, even without the need to specifically support it. There are so many articles in different threads here about various problems with the connection of the ATV 2 to different TVs, even when there is only HDMI involved.

Strange Video Resolution Issue

Ok, here's the problem: I have a Mac Mini hooked up to my 42" plasma TV via a DVI/HDMI converter. Everything works fine, except that, when I'm viewing video content *during download* (movies, TV) from the iTunes store, if I try to display in *full screen mode* I get a big black screen with a little, tiny video window in the middle (other, non-full screen modes work fine, but I want full screen so that the background is blacked out, etc.) Once the download is complete, I can view everything just fine in full screen mode, or in Front Row. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and if there's anything to do about it? I'm perplexed, and my wife is not amused.

What Sony deck?
You might not have a PLAY THRU option selected on the deck. I know the DSR will do this if you mash remote control buttons.
The reason it works when capture is that the deck is sending OUT to composite/component directly. When you watch from FCP it is converting the digital signal from FW to an analog-ish signal back out the composite/component plugs. Apples and Oranges. BUT - should be a simple menu option.
Good luck,

Director projects on DVD ROM and DVD video

Hi all,
I need your attention and your aid to solve a doubt and a
job. I've to create a DVD Video that plays on dvd home players and
on macs and windows computers, with dvd readers. Moreover I need
that the same DVD contains a directors project (the same project
for mac and win system) that start automatically, when the dvd is
inserted in a dvd reader of a computer.
Is it possible?
Does director make it (DVD video + DVD rom with a directors
project?
Director vs DVD Studio Pro in order to obtain a master DVD
hybrid (DVD video + DVD rom with a directors project)?
Thanks for your attention,
Mirone

Wahey!!! That's me!!! Crikey I don't remember posting to that
forum!?!
Anyway, back to your problem - as already noted there really
isn't an
elegant way of solving it! You quite literally have to whack
everything into
one folder - when it comes to hybrid DVD-Videos there's no
'nice partitions'
as we have with hybrid CD-ROM I'm afraid!
The route I took was to develop the DVD-Video and add the
Director Windows
projector and its gubbings via the ROM content folder [used
Encore - but
DVDSP isn't too far apart].
Also within this DVD-ROM folder lay a Mac disc image [DMG] of
our Director
Mac projector with it's associated Xtras, etc. - with enough
time on my
hands I could easily have added asset sharing but time was
tight to say the
least and I knew I had lots and lots of space on the DVD so
basically
packaged all the assets together with the projector within
the
aforementioned Mac disc image. I also added a PDF + text
document at the DVD
root level explaining to Mac users that they would have to
mount the
included Mac disc image to gain access to the data side of
the disc.
As it's been pointed out already it isn't pretty and it isn't
elegant,
but... it works!! I was also advised by our replicator's that
this is the
"safest" way to go. Yes you could try the Mac partitions
route but there
really is NO guarantee that all standalone DVD players are
capable of
reading the final disc - I wasted numerous coasters with such
ideas and it
was very, VERY hit and miss!
If you've a wide DVD-Video collection take a look around at
some of the
titles that hold ROM content as well and you'll find that the
big studios
also produce their DVD's in the same fashion, for example
[off the top of my
head] the Matrix trilogy are produced in this way.
Good luck...

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
Some things to consider…
DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

Why is DVD SP4 creating a corrupt video in the timeline when the corruption does not appear in the imported Quicktime ProRes 422 self contained movie?

I am having a strange issue that just occurred when trying to create a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4. The workflow is as follows: Import a self contained Quicktime ProRes 422 as an asset into DVDSP 4. Drag the assets onto Track 1 in the Graphical viewer as a First Play item. The video is only corrupted in a section of the timeline, yet when you look at that section in Quicktime the video appears to be ok. Does anyone have an idea why this is happenning?

Thanks for the quick reply Gary. I was wondering why this corruption happenned recently, when I have used this workflow previously without any artifacts for several years. Do you think that something has gotten corrupted in DVDSP?
Do you also recommend using Compressor always to created the files for DVDSP vs. having DVDSP do the encoding?
Thanks

Audio/video sync issues at chapter points, on certain DVD players

I created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4, had it replicated at a manufacturing facility, and have now sent out copies to approximately 600 people. About a dozen or so of my customers have experienced issues where at the chapter points for the film (a 60-minute documentary) the audio and video go out of sync. Unfortunately I can't describe this issue any more accurately than that because I haven't seen the problem. The disc plays fine on the vast majority of players. The people that are experiencing the problem have DVD players like the Sony DVP-NC655P and the Samsung DVD-R120.
Does anyone have any clue at all as to what the issue could be?
Thanks very much.

Is your audio PCM or AC3? If the audio is going out of sync on onlyl a handful of set-top players, the build is probably OK, and your media is probably starting out in sync. I suspect that your bit rate may be be too high, and the audio is chiking the buffer on the player, making the audio go out of sync. What format of audio is on the disc, and what is combined average/maximum bit rate?
Hope this helps -

When creating a DVD face in Photoshop 13 my save options are limited to .PSE and .PDF. Why can I not save as a jpeg or other file format? This was never an issues in Elements 10 (my previous version).

I just recently purchased Elements 13. I am in the process of creating a DVD face for a video. The design is complete and I would like to be able to save it as a JPEG so I can use it in another program that prints my DVD's. The problem is that it only allows me to save the file as at PSE or a PDF. No other options are available. Why is this? I upgraded from Elements 10. In Elements 10 I have never had a problem saving this type of project as a JPEG. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ANSWER FOUND!
Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works! I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

Copying home DVD videos, editing, and creating new DVDs

Here is the situation:
I have the 17" and this is my first Mac to own. I am computer literate with most my experience on Windows and Linux.
That being said, I am trying to edit home videos; but they are already on DVDs. I got a LiteOn DVD/VCR combo recorder for my entertainment center. I have a camcorder that uses Hi-8 media and it is only able to use S-video/composite outputs (no USB or Firewire). I am using the LiteOn recorder to archive all my videos to DVDs because it has composite inputs. The LiteON has hardly any editing capability. So I want to take the "simple" DVDs I made, copy them to my HD, edit them (to cut out junk, create better menus, and give it as nice touch), and create new DVDs to distribute to my family and to get rid of old tapes.
So in short, the process I want to do on the Mac is:
1. Copy my family home DVDs
2. Edit the video.
3. Create more "creative" DVDs for my family.
I have been looking around the website and reading posts and I don't see how to do this. I did try to create an image on disk utility, but it failed for whatever reason (maybe I am missing a step). How can I accomplish the three steps above?
Please help.
Thank you, Michael

If these are true, standard video DVDs that the drive creates, there are a number of utilities that can extract and convert the videos for use in editing applications. A couple of utilities that people have reported success with are DVDxDV, Cinematize, and MPEG Streamclip (MPEG Streamclip is freeware but requires that you have Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component), and there are no doubt others.
Once extracted, you can use iMovie to edit the clips and iDVD to burn them to a new DVD. Then you can use Disk Image or a third-party application such as Roxio's Popcorn to make additional copies.
Hope this helps.

Creating a DVD from camcorder video tape

Hi all,
I am tasked with creating a DVD from some of my dads camcorder tapes. Can anyone provide a simple advice list. I assume that iDVD (which i have never used) will be the software to use?
Look forward to hearing from you helpful and intelligent people out there.
From a complete simpleton.
Kind regards,
Alan

The easiest way (if you don't want to do any editing)
buy a dvd player/recorder, connect the video out of the camcorder to the dvd recorder input.

Creating a DVD menu, how do I compress videos?

I'm going to be creating a DVD menu on DVD studio pro for an assignment, but I don't know how to use Compressor. I was wondering if anyone can help me on how to compress videos (main menu, chapter selection menu, transition, etc) on Compressor before importing them to DVD studio pro? What format do I compress videos into (mpeg 2, mpeg 4. etc)?
Thanks.

Essentiallly: Create your menu in DVDSP. Bring your movie into Compressor as the source file. Select one of the DVD presets (90 minutes best quality is good). Submit for encodimg and then bring the output files into DVDSP.
Clearly, you need to know the fundamentals to do much of this…and learning those from these forums is not very practical The Apple Pro user manuals are very well done. Get acquaninted with them amd you'll be glad you did.
Good lluck.

Premiere Elements 11 burning a DVD resolution issue

Why is it when I take an Elements 11 slide show wmv file and burn it to a DVD, using the maximum resolution and selecting the NTSC widescreen Dolby DVD option, the resolution degrades?

TysenM
Thanks for the follow up.
What are these fixes for both Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 to which you refer? Just curious about that.
Let us back up a little.
What are the pixel dimensions of your photos and how many of them do you have in this presentation? For now I am assuming that you dealing with photos that have pixel dimension equal of greater than 1920 x 1080. Please let us know if that is not the case.
I would like you to take a few as is and import them into a Premiere Elements 11 project with the project preset that you set manually.
a. File Menu/New/Project
b. In the new project dialog, set for NTSC/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p30. Be sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Settings on this Project" before you exit the new project dialog.
c. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ to get some of those photos into Project Assets and from there to the Timeline.
d. If an orange line exists over the Timeline content, then render that Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard.
See what that looks like at playback in the Edit Mode monitor?
Are you making your comparisons based on what you see in the monitor or are you actually taking the Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc). From what you wrote, it sounds like you are. What are you using for viewing?
Here I would ask this question...just before you would hit Burn in the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area in the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate?
Thanks.

Create a DVD using Premiere Pro and Encore - delay between audio and video (in ms)?

I created a DVD and need to be sure that audio and video are in perfect sync (smaller than 1 millisecond).
Is this even possible with Premiere Pro / with DVDs in general?
My sequence settings in Premiere are:
DV PAL, 25 fps, 720x576 (16:9), D1/DV PAL Widescreen, lower field first, Audio: 48000 Hz
My DVD settings in Encore are:
MPEG-2 (MainConcept MPEG-Video), 720x576, 25 fps, lower field first, Widescreen 16:9 (1,458), Bitrate VBR, 2-Pass, Min 1,5 MBit/s Target 4 MBit/s, Max 9 MBit/s, GOP: M-Frames 3, N-Frames 12, Audio: Dolby Digital, 192 kbit/s

I created a DVD and need to be sure that audio and video are in perfect sync (smaller than 1 millisecond).
Is this even possible with Premiere Pro / with DVDs in general?
Frame accurate is the best you can achieve and that means 33 milliseconds at best.

Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.
