Dvd from eyetv
What is best way to make a DVD from a tv show recorded by eyetv?
Sounds like a very good idea... but have you seen Subtitler:

Not to say you won't make a better version, and I'd be delighted if you did! Manipulating subs in DVDSP is not something I do any more - I use an external text editor for any job where more than a few subs are needed.
The problem in DVDSP is that you cannot extract the subs directly, you have to export an track item description which has the subs and time code buried within the XML. You might find that PHP will give you a web based tool to extract the subs and time codes and write a text file, which you can then manipulate.
In fact, wouldn't a web based tool be a good idea? People could upload the track description, it would export the subs and you could get it to adjust the timecodes and write a text file back in the correct format to import back in to DVDSP. Once the subs are in a text file it is a simple matter to manipulate them further...

HOW DO I RECORD A DVD FROM A VCR? I BOUGHT A APPLE MINI-DVI TO VIDEO ADAPTER AND A S CABLE ADAPTER, IT ALL HOOKS UP, BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP AS BEING THERE. HELP! ANYBODY! I WOULD LIKE TO DUB MY CHILDS MOVIES OF WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG BEFORE THEY ROT AWAY ON VCR TAPE. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
imac G5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.5) just receivedFYI.
I recently purchased the EyeTV 200 (Firewire).
A refurb direct from Elgato for $200.
(http://www.elgato.com/indexfr.php?file=shoponlinesh

Yeah, I got the "200" because I'm transferring 300 training sessions from VHS to DVD. I use the RCA inputs (three wire plug type - white & red (sound) and yellow (video)). EyeTV200 does a fine job.
I also use our Canon GL2 to pass the video through the camera via firewire into my Intel iMac. I find EyeTV 200 easier (and I can watch and record TV!) while at work! (WaaHOO!)
This is for the analog signal. TEh EyeTV 500 is for
digital cable.
Didn't know that. Saw the "500" but thought it was for HDTV only. Thanks for the info.
Comes with EyeTV software which allows you to view a
TV guide (titantv.com) and click what you want to
record.
True! You can even schedule it to record like a VCR. I set it up to record "Amazing Race" before leaving work because the program comes on late and I wanted to see it. Got to work and there it was!
Has S-Video as well as Composite video and stereo
audio inputs.
So true. I also have a VCR with S-Video and it works just dandy with EyeTV 200.
I'm in the process of putting my videos onto DVD with
it.
Let's you save directly as MPEG 1, 2, or 4.
Also exports to DV, iPod, H.264, DIVX, HD720, HD1080.
etc.
Between this and iDVD and iMovie HD, it's some pretty
wicked stuff.
Ain't it so! Two happy EyeTV users playing on their Macs! -
Is it possible to boot to a Windows 7 install DVD from an external USB drive on current iMacs?
On the iMac I'm currently using, a mid-2007 24-inch, it's impossible to boot into a Windows install DVD from an external drive: I can hold down option on boot, and all my hard drives come up, but if the Windows disc is in my external DVD drive, it won't show up. I'll soon be upgrading to a late 2012 iMac, and I'd like to be able to install Windows 7 for a boot camp partition. Since that iMac has no built in drive, I'd like to know if using an external DVD drive will work on that model. I'd like to do that, seems easier than messing around with disk images. But we'll see...
You can use an external optical drive to install Windows without any problem with a Late 2012 iMac.
The reason that you couldn't install Windows from an external optical drive on the 2007 iMac is that it has got an internal SuperDrive, so Apple only allows you to use it to install Windows on your iMac -
Help with getting high quality DVDs from AVCHD footage
Hello,
I know enough about video editing with PE7 to be dangerous, and was hoping someone could help me out.
My question is regarding getting the highest quality standard DVD from AVCHD footage. I have a Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder recording in AVCHD. I am editing footage natively in AVCHD with PE7 on a quad core system. No problem with that. However, when I export to standard DVD the quality of the video goes down drastically. (Yes, I know burning to Blu-ray would give me higher quality, but I am giving this DVD to a friend who doesn't have Blu-ray).
So far I have tried starting my project in both HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
General
Editing mode: HDV 1080i
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 1440h 1080v (1.333)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
and Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
General
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video Settings
Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.000)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
But I see no discernable difference in the quality of my output onto DVD.
This is where my knowledge is lacking...how can I get the best quality output from my AVCHD onto a standard DVD? Is there some format I can convert to first, and then burn to DVD? Also, I am willing to break the footage into a couple of DVDs to improve the quality, but I don't know how or what to do for that.
My footage looks REALLY great when viewing from the HDR-SR12 direct to HD TV with HDMI cable, but not very good on the DVD. My footage is of a ballet recital, and I lose definition in the faces, costumes, etc on the DVD output.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
GinaHey Gina,
This may be a year late, but as I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours 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.
Hope that helps.

Making Playable DVD From Disc Image
A friend of mine has an iDVD project but his mac cannot burn dvds. So he gave me the file as a disc image. I dragged and dropped the disc image to the dvd and hit burn. It does not play as a dvd in a player or in frontrow on my mac. When I double click on it the disc image is on the dvd. Did I make a data dvd instead? How do I make a playable dvd from a disc image?
Also, is going the disc image route the easiest way to transfer an iMovie or iDVD project to another mac. I did it this way because my mac does not have some of the music or photos on it that are linked to the project file. In Garage Band you can save as archive when transferring a file to another mac and it saves all the loops, etc in the file. There must be something similar in iDVD.
Thanks in advance for any help.
PaulSo he gave me the file as a disc image. I dragged and dropped the disc image to the dvd and hit burn.
Paul,
Video DVDs are written in the UDF format. That's why you must use Apple's Disk Utility to burn a disk image to writable media correctly.
In burning from the Finder, you have created a data DVD in Mac OS Extended format that will NOT play in set-top DVD players (as you have found out).

DVD from USA on a Mac in germany!
Hi everybody!
I have a MacBook Pro (os x lion), i bought it 4 moths ago. I've just realized, that my mac cannot read DVD from USA. So my question, is there way to change this so that my mac can read every formate? If yes how?
Thank you allYou can also change the region of your built-in optical drive, but it will always be set for just one region, and you can only change the region five times before it locks permanently onto the last region set. Thank the motion picture industry for this nuisance.

I wanted some feedback on YOUR best way to make a DVD from a Hard Drive Camera. I have the Sony 60 GB HandyCam. It's great. I have many programs to create a DVD and edit them. Some are Quicktime Pro with MPEG 2 converter to 4 then to Streamclip, CaptyDVD, VisualHub, ImageMixer.
When converting to StreamClip , for instance, which formate is best????
I have found that the QuickTime Pro/2 to 4 converter then into iDVD gives me the best results. Then right to iDVD.
The Visual Hub program is great but it gives me the letter box effect. I rather have the true 16x9 formate.
Any other ideas or programs out there YOU like?
Thanks in advance, Don
MacBook core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMac G4 flat panelnow we put the cart before the horse ...
mpegs are not meant for editing, any further processing; mpegs are a delivery- and playback format...
if you like to do editing (adding titles, music, disolves etc), use a recording-device which supports a codec which is MEANT for editing.. as "dv", on miniDV ...
Streamclip support basic editing (e.g. erasing parts)...
and the loss of audio by using Quicktime for convertign mpegs is another cup of tea ...
nack to your Original Post:
Capty is best in terms of quality, because no triple-conversion is needed, as long as you "burn" videoDVD with Toast or Sizzle ..
Streamclip (+mpeg2 plug-in) is best in terms of "options" ( you can edit AND convert)
DVD2DV is best in terms of usability .. one-click-only
VisualHub is best in terms of flexibility (swiss army knife converter)
ffmpegX + Sizzle is best in terms of cost - free (iLife comes preinstalled)
... and DVD as recording media is NEVER the best, compared to any/most miniDV camcorders... less usabilty (= not supported by iLife, needs additional processes etc), less quality AFTER adding anything/editing/processing, ...
so, back to Square One - get a miniDV for movie making .. -
What is the easiest way to make a dvd from vhs or dv tapes?
If you have VHS tapes, you need to run the output of a VCR through an analog to digital conversion box into your computer. If you have DV tapes, and your camera has a firewire output (or 1394 in Sony parlance), you may be able to feed it directly into your computer into iMovie.
I've used a Canopus ADVC-55 analog to digital conversion box, which plays well with macs. There are other vendors with similar products. -
I have recorded video on a DVD from my tv and dvd recorder. When I take the DVD over to the computer it is seen as blank. It plays fine on the tv/dvd recorder. Is it the media? The DVD's are Matishitu i think. Should i shell out for better quality DVD's? Does anyone have a suggestion as to what brand of blank DVD I should buy? Does anyone have any other ideas on what the problem might be?
Hi and welcome to Discussions,
because this has happened to me once:
Did you made sure that the DVD-Recorder has 'finalised' the DVD ?
If not this most likely causes the iMac to see it as blank.

DVD from Elements 3.0 has no audio on Cyberlink Power DVD
I've burnt a DVD from Elements 3.0 which seems to go okay but when I put the DVD back in to the drive and open Cyberlink Power DVD, it plays without audio.
What's the griff with that?
ChummyAs a test of what Steve wrote, go back to PE, and Burn to Folder. Point CyberLink Power DVD to that folder and play from there. Do you get Audio?
I'm with Steve in that PE does a good, DVD-spec AC3 Audio file, that *should* play fine. CyberLink Power DVD is a good software player.
If you are not getting Audio, first place I'd check was the Audio setup on my system and then Ctrl-c from within Power DVD. What are the settings under the Audio tab there?
Good luck,

While using "One Step DVD from Movie" using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7 16 X 120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio. The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio? Advice will be greatly appreciated.
Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot.
4 - launch IDVD and try again.
Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
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.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.
I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay. The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay. The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive. I think my apple TV is Gen 2.
If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
VLC Player may work.
