Create a Flash-DVD with videos on a streaming server

Hello
As I am new to this forum, I hope I found the best place for my question. I have rented a few GB's on a streaming server, becouse I plan to open a little website with dancing videos on it. I have Adobe premiere pro cs4 to cut my video and encore to build a dvd. Since the dvd menu is quite practical I would like to use encore to place exactly the same project on my servers. This is how far as i got: I changed the script file so that my flash files got uploaded to my streaming server. I loaded the index.html, flashdvd.swf and AuthoredContent.xml onto my webserver, but nothing works..... I know that my streamingserver uses Wowza software... could this be the problem? Do I need a Adobe Streaming Server???
If you want to check the files, please don't hesitate to see www.dance-tv.ch/swidako'09/index.html This is the "progressive download" version of the project, but it seems to have the same problem as the one on the streaming server.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you
Oliver

A PNG sequence can be used if you will go through the Flash authoring app itself to add interactivity, for example. If not, or in either case, you can create a FLV (Flash video) file with alpha. This can be used directly with the Flash player on the web.
Just pull the key with Keylight, and when it's done, Add the Comp to the Render Queue, set the Output Module's channels to RGB+Alpha and then pick Flash Video (FLV) as format, with one of the Flash 8 presets. The preset will instruct you in the comment field to adjust the stretch settings in the Output Module to the size specified by the preset.
For more information, see Render and export a Composition as an FLV or F4V file in After Effects Help.

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

DVD with video plus database with nice browserlike interface

We've created some nice DVD's with menus for chapters and the like. Now the challenge is to create a dvd with video chapters, but also with a link on the DVD menu to a database with a nice graphical browserlike interface. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions here?

Hi Massimok
Welcome to the forum.
There have been quite a few posts about DVD@ccess lately, which is the feature you're probably wanting to use. The problem is this only works on macs. I've not played around with this feature yet but the consensus seems to be that the way to make DVD-ROM features accessible cross-platform is to use eDVD to add/edit this functionality after the VIDEO_TS folder is built.
I've had no experience with this though so a more informed opinion would be most appreciated.
Cheers

Can I Make A DVD With Video & 24-Bit Audio?

I want to make a DVD with videos and, as a special feature, 13 24-bit enhanced playable audio tracks.
Is this possible in iDVD?
Thanks!

Toast 8 has a 96kHz/24-bit option in making Music DVDs as well as a 48 kHz/24-bit option. (Note: these are NOT DVD-Audio discs which require a special player.)
'Normal' Toast audio is 48 kHz/16-bit.

I can not daowload to the I movie a DVD with video inside

i check the dvd on a tv via DVD,   and is working fine
i can download photo with music no problem    but not    a dvd   with video inside
thank you     TONY

You need to rip the DVD to mp4 before importing.
Download Handbrake (free, Google it).
Insert the DVD to your computer. DVD Player will come up. Quit it.
Open Handbrake. Rip the DVD to a file on your desktop.
Import that file from your desktop into iMovie.

Flash SWF with Video file will not play in web page

Hello Flash group,
I have created a flash video file from a *.wmv file.
myvideo.flv.
I have used flash to build an swf file that plays the video
(with a default skin).
I have then imported the media file into an html page using
Dreamweaver. I did not import the flv file, but the swf file with
the "video" in it.
The page plays find on my development server (where
Flash,Dreamweaver, etc is installed).
When I moved the html page, the flv file, the swf file and
the skin to my production webserver (linux and apache)
the flash files do not show up on the web page. The dev
server is a windows XP running apache 2.2)
Any ideas on what I need to do???
thanks,
eholz1

It may cause by any of the reason below:
- You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
- Your flv file path/name is incorrect. check all case
sensitive etc.
- Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.

Creating an AVCHD DVD with Nero Vision 5 and Premiere Pro

This seems to work pretty well as a workflow (using AVCHD clips from a Panasonic SD5):-
Get your AVCHD clips onto your hard drive using the camcorder's software.
Run Nero 8 "StartSmart", choose "Author Edit and Capture Video"
Choose "Make Movie"
Using the "Browse For Media" button, navigate to where your AVCHD clips are and select.
When they are in the media file list, drag them to the Nero Vision timeline.
Click on the "Export" button and choose "Export Video to File"
Choose format "MPEG-2" and profile "HDV HD2 (1080i)"
Specify filename for output and click on "Export".
Run Premiere Pro and choose "New Project" and "Adobe HDV"
Choose HDV 1080i 25 (Sony 50i)
Edit as normal. On my quad core (Q9300) PC it's easily possible to use 3 video tracks at once and preview full screen smoothly, or add effects etc - a much better experience that using AVCHD with the costly Mainconcept plugin IMHO.
When done, choose File > Export > Adobe Media Encoder
Choose format MPEG2, Range "Entire Sequence" and Preset "HDV 1080i 25"
In the Video tab, Basic Video Settings area, you might care to up the quality to 5.0
Click OK and supply output filename.
Repeat the earlier stuff relating to Nero Vision but this time you want to select the file you've just output from PPro.
When you click "Next" once your file is on the Nero Vision timeline, choose "Make DVD with Edited Movie" > "AVCHD"
In the next screen choose "Create Chapters"
Well, follow your nose from there to create the chapters, then choose the menu and customise it, and burn to normal DVD in AVCHD quality.
What you end up with is an AVCHD DVD which will play on a Playstation 3 and probably on a Blu Ray player (I haven't got the latter to test). The finished quality is very close to the original quality - on the test material I've just been trying (playing back on a 42" full HD Bravia) I had to play repeatedly alternating original and edited footage to spot any differences - such that could be seen were pretty subtle.
While there are cheaper conversion programs to get AVCHD into PPro, I don't think any of them take the finished edit and do the AVCHD DVD creation and layout part like Nero does.
Hope that helps a new AVCHD user wanting to stick with PPro. If an experienced PPro user can see an obvious technical fault in what I'm doing I'd be glad to stand corrected.

Mick,
I got a simple project with a Play all and Scene select menu and then a scene menu. There was about 15 minutes of video, but it only seemed to cover about half the disk.
Encore seems tempermental, so I had to be very careful not to change any of the assets, etc.
I never could get Encore CS3 to recognize regular disks, and that's why I went to ImgBurn (burning either Bluray image or folder).
I tried Nero at first, and it seemed like a long process to get it to burn a UDF 2.5 format, but IMGBurn does that automatically.
This summarizes my experience, for what that's worth, with this.
http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29665
Also, apparently,Sony will include this capability in DVD Architect Pro http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro/bluray.
Finally, some work by others is being done to attempt to burn the BluRay project to a dual layer SD DVD which might double the capacity, but I haven't heard if that has been successful.
Let me know what you think.

Recording in HD & creating an SD DVD with iDVD 05

I have been tearing my hair out over this... I have imported HD content from my camcorder into iMovie HD 05 & that has been fine. I know that I cannot create HD DVDs currently, but I want to record in HD & perhaps use this footage in the future. Anyway, when it comes to creating the DVD, I get through to the 'process movie' part or the 'burn' part & it either tells me that the disk has errors or, before it is even burned, that there have been multiplexing errors. (I dont know what this means, but I'm sure there are plenty of you reading this who do)
So far I have tried:
Just creating the dvd from the original iMovie file (in HD).
Creating various quick time exports (of different sizes)and then importing them into iDVD. None of this has worked. Is it even possible to shoot in HD & then create an SD DVD? I hope so or my wife is going to kill me for insisting on that HD camcorder!
Its only a short film (approx 20 mins) & there is loads of space on both the external hard-drive I am working from & the internal hard-drive.
Can anyone out there help me?

Welcome to the forums.
Apple says that iMovie can work with high definition video, but that the video is converted in iDVD:
"High Definition and Widescreen Video
iDVD 5 now imports high definition video (HDV) and 16:9 widescreen formats from iMovie HD. iDVD 5 converts these formats to a standard definition DVD format that allows you to create the coolest-looking DVDs, while retaining the highest quality video."
So, iDVD is doing a lot of work during the video conversion. Here are some guidelines for reducing errors during this process:
Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of free space on your main hard drive for scratch space.
Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
Give yourself lots of time.
Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor followed by Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image file (Save As Disk Image) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x).
I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
No other apps open.

Playing video from a streaming server

Hi I've been using the insert flash video feature in dreamweaver CS3, using progressive download video and it works just fine. But lately I've hired a flash media server to host my videos and whent I try to use the streaming video option it gives me this error message when I type the address of the video:
The URL cannot contain spaces or special characters.
Change the path or file name and try again
The address of my video is: rtmp://p8bezucu.rtmphost.com/testevideo/portfolio.flv
appreciate any help

I have never used a streaming server, but looking at the instructions for inserting an FLV, it seems as though the name of the file doesn't go in the Server URI field. See the relevant help file: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7c9e.h tml.
It says that Server URI specifies the server name, application name, and instance name in the form rtmp://www.example.com/app_name/instance_name. The name of the FLV goes in the Stream Name field.

Trying to create a dvd with video and slides...need help

I am trying to make a dvd that includes video from my sister's wedding but I would also like it to include slideshows that I have already created in iDVD. Her wedding video was taken in to a shop and put onto a DVD. I would like to take the video from that DVD and combine it with my slideshows so that everything is on one disc. Plus, the menus (or lack thereof) from the DVD the shop made are HORRIBLE. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Also, if you could explain how to insert chapters into the video once I have it into iDVD that would be appreciated. They did not include these on the DVD from the shop so it's one long movie with no way of skipping ahead short of fast forwarding.
Thank you very much for any input.
Michael

Hi, Michael,
I did for my daughter's wedding what you are trying to do for your sister's. You can do it this simple way:
I took her wedding DVD and copied some of it onto DV tape and imported that into iMovie where I edited it down to some clips I wanted to go with the still photos I already had.
To copy the DVD footage, I just put the disk into our DVD player, connected my camcorder and recorded it. Yes, there was a slight loss of quality, but not very detectable in the final product. After all, I am not a professional wedding videographer and some of the stills were from inexpensive snapshot cameras.
The final video still turned out well.
I actually did another longer one, this time using the original DV footage from the wedding videographer--he let us have it because he took so long to make the DVD! The DVD I made from that is of course better quality, but not that much better that I would go to more trouble to get it.

Creating Blu-Ray DVD with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Encore

Hi all,
I am one of many with troubles creating a blu-ray DVD using Mac software. Sounds like the best way to do this is to do all of the editing in Final cut and create the DVD in Adobe Encore. Is there a way to export to Adobe Encore or should I just create a .mov file and import that to Encore. That way I think I lose the HD quality. I read that I could compress to Blu-ray format in Compressor, but I can only find HD DVD which is different. When I select create a Blu-Ray disc, Compressor won't simply create the file on my computer...it wants the disc to create.
Maybe I am a little to new at this to fully understand, but why in the heck doesn't Apple get with the times and create a DVD authoring program that makes Blu-Ray?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have just completed my first blu-ray disc using FCP7 and Adobe encore. My workflow, once the timeline was complete, was to go to File>share>choose blu-ray as destination >export. The default encoding is H.264 along with an ac3 file for audio. It took 3 hours and 35 minutes to encode the 1hr 26 minute file.
Opening encore, confirming you settings for HD, and choosing file>import>as asset each of the files (separately, of course). Encore imports them, then under Timeline>create new, then drag the files to the timeline. CLick on the build button and you are there. I did not mention that my original render was Prores422, but that should not matter here. No trouble with burning the Verbatim 25Gb disc.
Encore will recognize that these files do not need re-encoding and burn the disc. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to burn a 1 hour and 26 minute (17+ Gb) movie on an i7 iMac with an OWC 12x BD burner.
Hope that helps

How do I save a dvd (with video from a video camera) to edit with imovie?

A friend took videos of an event of mine with his video camera. He then put the clips on a dvd and gave it to me. It was recorded on with a Sony video camera and imported on to a pc with vega's then burned with DVD Complete. He was not sure what format he put it in but maybe something like video_TS.BUP. When I open it up from my desktop it has a audio TS and Video TS folder. When I try to open one of the video folders it goes to iphoto and says unrecognizable format. So does he need to save it to different format and what format would that be. I want to put those clips on my mac to edit to make a movie. I have the newest macbook with the newest imovie. Thanks for all your help!

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Still photos when put in a DVD with videos are so fuzzy it hurts my eyes!

I own Adobe Premiere ELements 11 and Adobe Photosho Elements 11, Nikon D90 for stills and Canon HD 53x for digital video. When I create a show and burn a DVD and play it on the TV the stills are so fuzzy it hurts my eyes to lool at them. The video segments are crystal clear and sharp. Once in awhile the still photos come out clear.
I called Adobe and left my # due to the long wait.

What are the pixel dimensions of your photos when put into Premiere Elements?
How are you outputting?
