Create basic DVD using DVD Pro

I am new to DVD Pro...
I can trying to create the simplest DVD, auto play (start).... and I cannot even get past the myriad options and nomenclature. I have read and re-read the beginning chapters of the manual and am getting nowhere. All I want to do is take Quicktime movie (3GB) in HD that I have created using Final Cut... and jam the highest quality possible into an SD playable DVD. I know that allowances have to be made for audio, etc. but the video should be nowhere near 4.7GB size.
I've used iDVD, but this pro software is very frustrating - isn't there a tutorial somewhere?
Many thanks if you can give any suggestions!
Paul

Thanks very much Nick,
I found some tutorials... of course the tutorials do not show you what to do in the event of an "error message" - and of course cannot address mistakes that are inevitable.
My goal is: to squeeze as much resolution from a 3 minute, 3GB Quicktime movie in HD 16:9... building in DVD Studio seems to create error messages "video bit rate too high."
I am trying to create an SD DVD, from an HD video that is 3GB - and there has got to be a way to make the video look better in SD... right now the file is correctly letterboxed, etc.. but the file size of the video is only 128MB, and it looks awful. How is it possible to improve bit rate without getting "video bit rate too high" error messages?
Many thanks,
Paul

.avi to dvd using QT pro??

I know it is possible to convert an .avi file to dvd using quicktime pro, but I can’t remember what you convert it to?? I want to take a bunch of .avi files and put them on a dvd I can watch in my home player.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to the MPEG-2 format so it doesn't make DVD's
Your profile says you're using a Mac.
Export your .avi to DV Stream (.dv) format (make sure you can play them with QT first).
Use iDVD to burn your DVD. It will convert your .dv file into the MPEG-2 format used on DVD's.
If you don't have a built in DVD burner you may be able to use a Firewire external. Check before you buy to be sure it is compatible with iDVD software.

What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro?

What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro? I used FCP 6, exported using Quick Time.

DVDs are only SD. There was at one time HD-DVDs, which DVD SP and Compressor can make, but HD-DVDs will only play in Macs and, now obsolete HD-DVD players. HD-DVDs will not play back in standard DVD players or Blu-Ray players. If you want to make a "DVD will be played on DVD player for TV" disc, your only choice is SD.
If you want HD video on a disc, then you want Blu-Ray. You will need a Blu-Ray burner (Apple does not make a Blu-Ray burner so you will have to buy a third-party Blu-Ray burner), Blu-Ray discs and software that will make a Blu-Ray disc. That could be the latest version of Compressor, or FCPX, or Toast, or Encore.

Creating recovery disc using DVD vs using USB

I wanted to upgrade to SSD
a crucial m500 to be exact.
I'm using windows 8
Lenovo T430
But an attempt to create recovery media, I was told I needed a usb of at least 16gb before continuing.
I personally do not have a spare 16gb thumbdrive lying around
address : create a recovery drive, The screen which says "the drive must be able to hold 16gb, and everything on the drive will be deleted.
and I find it such a waste to use a hard disk to use it as a recovery media considering the fact that all data on it has to be erased and I cant really use it for other purpose
so I google in attempt to try and create recovery drive using dvd disc
recdisc.exe
my question is that would I be able to restore the same original settings and applications as when I bought it when using the recdisc.exe method??
will all the default Lenovo applications be still present??

If it's like most of the recent ones I have seen it would normally require 3 regular DVD disks. Recovery 1, Recovery 2, and Drivers and Applications Disk 2. If you use Dual Layer it will put Recovery 1 and Recovery 2 on one DL disk and the Drivers and Applications on Disk 2, but it should give you the option of recording it to a standard DVD. You can determine how many regular disks it would take by selecting the Regular Disk option prior to creating the disks and it shoud tell you 3.
I'm betting that when you check the first disk you will find that it has about 6.5 to 7gb of data on it and the drivers disk has about 3gig, more than what would fit on a single D/L dsk. I know that my L305-S5933 is like that and I can't imagine that your's would be that much different.
Addendum: I just checked my 3 disks and they are as follows
Recovery Disk 1 - 4.3 GB
Recovery Disk 2 - 2.77 GB
Drivers and Applications Disk 3 - 2.1 GB
That totals 9.17 GB more than the capacity of a single D/L disk.
Plus I believe that Chris hit the nail on the head of their wanting to keep the actual Recovery Disk(s) seperate from the Drivers & Applications disk.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Runtime error 429, activeX component cant create object while using netbet pro on windows 7 & 8.1 HELP!!!

runtime error 429, activeX component cant create object while using netbet pro
does anyone know what I could do to fix this problem??? netbet pro was't available for a while then it's back but has yet to run

What's netbet pro?
I'd recommend asking questions about third party applications in the vendor's forum, not a Microsoft forum meant for admin scripting.

Can you create markers that pause video on a DVD using DVD studio Pro?

I basically want to put video into DVD Studio Pro and add chapter markers that will pause the video at specific times. Is there an easy way to do this in DVD Studio - I tried some things but it never seems to be consistant. Sometimes it will pause the DVD at the correct point and other times it will not. Whatever help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I am not used to using DVD Studio, but have used the other pro apps for a long time. Thanks.

I tried that and found that it only worked some of the time - does anyone know if that is a common issue or if there is a special way to do this to make it work? Thanks for all the help.

Can you burn an AVCHD DVD using Premiere Pro 4.1?

Alright I've been hunting the forums and net for a few hours on this one question.
I import my AVCHD video files using Sony Picture Motion Browser for the HDR SR-12 using the full HD setting (1920x1080i) I then pull these into Premiere 4.2.1 and have created an edit, my question is, it possible to output to an AVCHD DVD i.e. a standard DVD-R with the AVCHD edit on it from Premiere/Encore?
It's easy to burn clips straight to AVCHD DVD using Sony PMB, but not an edited file.
I realize there are no menus possible if you do it this way, but I have an AVCHD capable DVD deck and an HD Capable screen and would really like to see how this looks. Anybody know any tricks or workarounds for this? It seems that this would be sadly lacking if it was not possible or simply an effort to force one to adapt the entire workflow to Blu-Ray for HD content which I am not prepared to do.
I am assuming that if you could export the same file type that came in (i.e. AVCHD .mts files) that you could then have Sony PMB burn it to AVCHD DVD but I haven't figured out how to export it as such as there is only Blu-Ray output options.
Any help, tips or tricks would be appreciated!!!!
Regards,
DSW

Answering myself here for the benefit of anyone else trying to solve this problem.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours of utilizing AVCHD footage at AVCHD quality. I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
There is a plug-in here:
http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
Or if you want to be really sneaky, you can transfer it back onto your camera and play it straight to your TV using the HDMI cable.
Hope that helps anyone stuck with the same problem.

Best quality HDV to DVD using Premier Pro CC to Media Encoder CC and Encore

I have been struggeling to create a decent looking DVD from my HD video. I am a newbe. And I have read many, many forum posts trying to learn the best practice and have come out even more confused. Many posts are back in 2009 and I don't think they apply. Some recommend dynamic link which does not appear to be an option for me. So I am hoping to get a clear answer to my problems. I am including alot of info because I don't know what is really important.
I have 2 types of video that I am merging into my sequences.
Sony:
Format                                   : AVC
Bit rate                                 : 11.5 Mbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 16.0 Mbps
Width                                    : 1 440 pixels
Height                                   : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
Scan type                                : Interlaced
Scan order                               : Top Field First
JVC:
Format                                   : AVC
Bit rate                                 : 16.3 Mbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 17.0 Mbps
Width                                    : 1 920 pixels
Height                                   : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
Scan type                                : Interlaced
Scan order                               : Top Field First
I set my sequence in Premier Pro CC to
AVC-Intra 50 1080i
29.97 fps
1440 x 1080
HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.3333)
30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Hopefully I set up my sequence correctly???
Dynamic Link is not available to me, so I export the sequence. This is where i get confused.
I export to MPEG2-DVD. Preset NTSC DV Wide
Some forum posts say to tweek the video setting for better quality, this is what I have read:
quality to 100
minimum bit rate 4
target bitrate 6
maximum bitrate 7
click maximum render quality
Since my source has upper field order but PP defaults to lower field order, should I switch to upper?
I encode in Media Encoder.
In Encore, I have my dvd settings:
MPEG-2
720x480
29.97 fps
Lower fields first (should this be upper??)
I have an i5 processor, 8G ram, I am using Mecury GPU accelerator.
I listed a lot of stuff and I appologize. I just think the quallity I am getting isn't there. With these setting and what I am doing, is this as good as the quality gets?
Help

Use a 1920 x 1080, 30i sequence for the editing, not 1440 x 1080.
Start with the MPEG2-DVD option and the NTSC DV Widescreen preset. Change the Quality to 100. Change the Field Order from Lower to Upper. Change the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively. If you have hardware acceleration turned on, export away. If you're running in Software Only mode, check the Maximum Render Quality box and then export.
Bring the resulting video and audio files into Encore for authoring.

Burn DVD using Premiere Pro 2.0

I use premiere pro
2.0 on my PC with Windows 7. I can edit and save a video project, but I can't burn it to a DVD.
Is there a burn program in 2.0, or is there another burning program that will accept premiere
pro 2.0 projects? I can import video segments into the Microsoft DVD burning program in
Windows 7, but it will not accept a Premiere Pro project.

If the issue is that PrPro does not see your burner, there might well be other programs "hooking" the burner. Do you get any error messages?
If Win7does not see your burner, then it is likely that either the firmware, or the driver used, are out of date - or both.
If Win7 does see the burner, then what you will need to do (depending on the answer to the first question), would be to Burn to Folder from PrPro. Then, use the free utility, ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to disc.
Good luck,
Hunt

PPT to DVD using Quicktime Pro

I am trying to transfer a Powerpoint slide to a DVD. I had heard it could be done using Quicktime Pro. I have made the PPT a .mov and can get it to open in Quicktime, but the animations and timing does not transfer. A 5-second PPT is coming out as 17 seconds long. How can I fix this?

When playing a home video DVD using DVD Player I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

When playing a home video DVD (created on my Panasonic DVD/Hard Disc recorder) using the Mac DVD Player, I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. I assume that any file created by this action would be stored somewhere in a common format but cannot find any such file. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi Sinious,
Interesting to know about 10.8 and Flash. I'll hold off upgrading until they work together. Currently using 10.6.8 at home and same on the Universtity's computers.
Haven't verified on Windows but shall do later in the week if I can get access to a Windows machine.
Both the Flash player and the Projector come up not full screen, and if I leave it that way then things work OK as long as I don't make the video full screen (using the full screen button on the skin).
However if I make the swf or projector full-screen (by using CMD-F or the menu option) then when I click on the menu item to take me to the page with the video on it, instead of a page with a smallish video and back button I get a black screen with no obvious controls. If I then press Escape I get my normal screen back and I am in the page that should have the video but there is not video and the back button does not work. So something wierd is going on here.
If I make a file without any videos with a similar navigation structure everyting works ok except that when I go full screen I lose the finger cursor when I roll over my buttons (which is also wierd).

How to burn dual layers DVDs using DVD Studio Pro

Hi
I am having problem in burning the dual layer DVDs through Studio Pro. So what steps should I take to burn the DVDs.
Thank you

It would help greatly if you would elaborate on the specifics of your problem. Just saying you have a problem doesn't really tell us anything at all ... and most of us aren't mind readers.

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.

How to create CD tracks into a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4

I would like to know if it is possible to create a simple audio track list from the menu and program it to play without having to enter a track file. I have 6 songs and I want click on the song and it would start to play, so on etc....and of course be able to use all of its functions such as play, stop, pause etc... without leaving the menu.
thanks
Gab

Hi Shawn thanks for your quick response. You are right, musci tracks use a cd. But I'm a musician and a filmmaker and I wanted to create a showreel for myself with my works all together. I bought about a year ago a superman (R. Donner 1977) DVD in the US with 3 DVDs and on one of the bonus dvd they created a menu where you could play some of the music used on the film, you clicked and the music was on. I'm preparing my new showreel and if I could do the same with my dvd, it would awesome. Is there anyway I could control control the background music by a click of a button? If this software can't do it, they should try to correct it of a future release.
thanks

Deploying Visual Basic Application using Acrobat Pro 9

Hi,
We had to modify an existing Visual Basic 6 application to merge 2 pdf files and to rotate 1. We used Acrobat Professional 9 to do so. Now we want to deploy this application. After deployment, we always get a 'Run Time error 429: ActiveX component can't create object' only when we use the new functionalities. So I presume something is missing in the deployment package linked to the Acrobat Pro.
Can somebody tell me how to deploy a Vb application which uses some Acrbat references?
Thanks,
Peter

After deployment, we always get a 'Run Time error 429: ActiveX component can't create object' only when we use the new functionalities.
Looks like that your application can't find an installation of Adobe Acrobat.
