DVCPRO HD into SD DVD?
Hi Everyone
Having finally solved the problem of converting AVCHD MTS files onto my non-intel Mac, then getting the quality right on my FCP6. I am now having trouble transfering my edited sequence into DVD Studio 4.
The DVC PRO HD (1080i60 1280x720) plays back fine through FCP but when I put it into DVD Studio, the picture quality is horrendous (lots of lines everytime the image moves) and there's no sound!
I need the disc in SD DVD instead of HD DVD for a client, and know I need to compress the image from HD but have no idea what settings I need to do???
Also, I want to print to video (via firewire into a Canon XL1s). The picture transfers fine but again no sound.
Please help!
Thanks
Steve

Basically set up a new SD project. Send HD footage through Compressor to make an SD m2v and AC3 files and use those in the project

Can I download more than one up and save it into a DVD for later installation?
I've been trying to install several apps including Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and Bridge but it takes for ever to download each application. Can I do a download batch from a faster server connection, save the apps into a DVD or External HD to install later on to my system at home?
Jorges56889280 you can download the base installers by following the steps listed at Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools. I would recommend still downloading the applicable updates on the local computer.
I would also recommend reviewing Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html in case there is any configuration errors which are causing the current performance you are experiencing. -
How do I put all my seperate video files into one DVD?
Hey friends,
Toby here again, thanks so much for giving me hint to the scroll bar, I've finished putting the audio into the video as well as the effects.
Which means my movie's almost complete!
However, while I await the music from my composers to be completed to put in the film for story-telling depth, I need help again.
I have edited my movie into four seperate windows with this program, and I'm currently trying to figure out how I can put all of it together or all of it into one DVD because I need to watch and make sure the footage's video matches with the audio so it doesn't seem like a Godzilla dubbing or something.
Give me as much suggestions as you could possibly give me, and thank you kindly for your time!
-TobySince you said DVD, I assume you're working in standard rather than hi-def video.
As I show you in my books:
1) Share/Computer/AVI with the DV preset to output each of your segments as a DV-AVI.
2) Open a new project using the standard DV project settings.
3) Import all of the segments and combine them on the timeline.
Just as a note, a DVD can hold about 70 minutes of video at full quality. If you're video is longer than that, it's probably a good idea to spread it out over two or more discs. -
How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?
I made a sellection of video clips > pressed on "share" > on iDVD > after one hour of formating the message was under "project duration" : "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window."
I have edited out some of the clips and waited anothe hour or so bu the same message appeared !
I want to know in advance how long can be the video clip sellection for the quality of video chosen ( the best before HD).
please help if ou can.
thank you very much indeed.
Michael
North LondonIt's trying to tell you to change the encoding setting:
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Multiple DV tapes into one DVD
I'm trying to transfer two DV tapes from my Sony handycam into one DVD double layer using iDVD. Everytime the first DV tape has finished transfering and the DVD has finished burning, the DVD is ejecting. When I try to transfer the second DV tape, I have a message to insert a blank DVD. I then insert the first burned DVD, but the message tells me to put a blank DVD...Is there a way of burning two video sequences from two DV tapes on the same DVD?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You should import the DV videos into iMovie (I preferiMovie HD 6 to the newest version), one DV video to a iMovie project and save them. From there you can open iDVD and drag the iMovie project files into the iDVD menu window, being careful to not drop them in a menu drop zone. That will add those two movies to the iDVD menu.

How can I turn captured video into a DVD
I am a premiere newbie. Can anyone tell me the basic steps to take captured video (already can do..) and turn it into a DVD which can be read on a regular TV-DVD player.? Even a few basic starter steps to send me down the right road would be helpful and VERY appreciated. I can capture to Premiere (Pro CS4), but then what? Thank you!!
OK, you've got your material Captured from your camera. It should appear in your Project Panel. At this point, your Timeline will be empty. This is where the editing comes in. I'll keep it simple, as there are a couple of ways to do this.
1.) from the Project Panel, drag each Video Clip to the Timeline's Video Track 1. The accompanying Audio wll come in with it, and should go to Audio Track 1, below that little "beltline," that separates your Video (above) and Audio (below).
2.) you can alter the Duration of your Clip by click-dragging on the Head, to shorten it there, or from the Tail, to shorten it there. If you have material that you wish to remove from anywhere but the Head or Tail, look in the Toolbox, usually to the lower-right, but it can be moved. There is a Razor icon. Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little triangle with a red line, that moves when you hit the Spacebar) where you wish to Cut with the Razor. Click with the Razor selected and both Video and Audio will be sliced. Move to where you wish this extra footage to end, and do the same thing. Rt-click on this new "Clip" and Choose Ripple Delete. This will remove that segment and close up the other parts of the Clip. Repeat for all of the rest of your media Assets.
3.) add any Transitions, music, etc.
4.) when done, you will Export this to Adobe Encore for DVD authoring. There are several ways to do this, but Adobe Dynamic Link is probably the easiest way.
5.) in Encore (if you use DL all selected Timelines will come into that program w/ Audio and Video), you create your navigation with Menus (Encore has a full Library of these).
6.) Check Project
7.) when done, chose File>Burn to DVD.
Note: use good media, like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at the slowest possible speed.
Done and good luck,
Hunt
PS remember that there are many ways to do the steps above. The manual and the Help files will go into a lot more detail, and you might find that you like another way better. Read, and then experiment. -
How do I put several DVDs into one DVD using iMovie?
I have made 5-6 small movies over the years using iMovie based on family skits. They average about 10 minutes each. I have them all burned to DVDs. I want to be able to put them all on one DVD instead of having 5-6 separate DVDs. I thought it would be a simple process to copy each DVD to my computer and then add them and burn to one DVD. When I duplicate the first DVD, it goes into a folder had has 2 files---neither of which I can open and play. Then I tried to open iMovie and import the DVD to iMovie. Can't get that to work. Then I went to the Disk Utility and was about to create an image of the DVD and did something I'm not sure of which magically at some point imported to the iMovie project I had created for this. I was able to get this process to work 3 times following the same steps (although I can't tell you why or what I was doing). But then it just stopped working for the last 3 DVDs even though I did the same thing. I don't have to use iMovie. I just want a simple way to combine DVDs into one DVD. Any help would be greatly appreciated as these are going to be Christmas gifts. Thanks.
If the iPhone is shown 'full-on' so the video doesn't have to be distorted then you could use 'Picture in Picture' in iMovie. See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mova1aaa682b
If, on the other hand you have an oblique view of the iPhone (as is the case in the video you reference) the movie will have to be distorted in order for it to fit the screen of the iPhone in the picture and show the correct perspective. iMovie doesn't offer this flexibility and you would need to use Final Cut Pro.

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?
How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?
If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

imported a 17' MiniDV piece into iMovie and it's lost synch. How can that be? I have done no editing, I just want to make it into a DVD.
Hi
Do You mean miniDV tape (interlaced video PAL or NTSC) ?
If so - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of Choise if You want a DVD as result - They all discards every second line resulting in less quality.
Sync. Problem - If miniDV tape - How was it recorded -
Audio mode - Is Camera set to record in 12-bit 32kHz - Should be 16-bit 48kHz
Recording mode - SP (60 min on a 60 min tape) or LP (90 min on 60 min tape)
If LP-mode - Then You need - Same Camera as recorded - tolerances is to small even for a Camera of same brand and type to play-back.
I would use FinalCut Express and a setting of PAL/N TSC and 32kHz audio if Camera is set to record in 12-bit
If LP-mode - iMovie HD6 is more tolerant in Captuing than FinalCut and Imediatly after Import/Capture - Extract Audio
And set iM HD6 to NOT IMPORT AS INDIVIDUAL Clips - to many drop outs to work.

I burned some files onto a DVD-R disc using my MacBook Air.
I did it by dropping the files onto the DVD icon in Finder and burned it right there.
If I put the dics into my DVD Player, it plays just fine. If I insert it into a computer, it opens the disc like a memory stick or something: I can open the files, but it won't play via Macs DVD Player. Can I do something so Macs will recognize the disc as a Dvd?I burned some files onto a DVD-R disc using my MacBook Air.

I am new to Apple, since Oct '11. ( iDVD did not come with this laptop). I am making a slide show in keynote and can't download to iDVD to make it into a DVD that I can play on any home player. As far as I know, I need to make it into a quicktime file, then find some 3rd party software to convert to DVD. Has anyone had any luck with this. I think I may just purchase an old copy of iLife from Amazon...

HT2801 I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac
I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac and was wondering what external DVD drive will work with an iMac 21.5" late 2010. Would take it to be fixed but they take too long and can't really be wothout this computer. Thanks.
turn it off, and turn it on its side and see if you can gently shake it out. You could also cut a firm piece of cardboard in the shape of a hook to help fish it out. Also, any external dvd player will work.

Burn a 150 minutes Full HD into a dvd
Hello, I have a 150 minutes full hd video clip. is it possible to burn whole clip into one dvd ? if YES, is it clear ? if No, should i split into 2 DVDs ? and what is the best bitrate (VBR 2 pass) for 90 or 150 minutes video ? does it have forumla or something ?
DVD is standard definition, not HD. And yes, you can burn 150 minutes onto one DVD. If it is single layer, the quality hit may be more than you want. If you go to a dual layer DVD, you must have a layer break, and each part (before and after the break) must be smaller than half the disk. Remember that a DVD is not really 4.7 gig...
Search this forum for "HD to SD." In versions of Premiere Pro/Adobe Media Encoder since CS6, you can use the "scale to fill" crop setting to handle the small black bars that appear if you scale down HD to SD without any cropping.
Bitrate calculator:
http://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php
(Your 150 minutes with a 192mb audio stream on a single layer disk gives an average bitrate of 3750 - probably not good quality. On a dual layer disk, 7000.)
Jeff Pulera's shorthand:
"When encoding MPEG-2 DVD in AME, a good way to estimate encoding rate is 560/minutes = rate. Your example of 115 minutes comes out to about 4.8 data rate, maybe go 4.7 for safety. For shorter vids, consider 8 as a max rate for video (audio gets added on top of that)."
(Your 150 here, gives 3733.)
