DVD+R (possibly DVD+RW) with VIDEO_RM folder

I have a have a bunch of consumer-burned DVD-Video discs that need to be ripped and transcoded for use in FCP. Most of them (the ones that are DVD-R) have worked fine using MPEG Streamclip. However, a few discs are DVD+R (with "RW" also on the disc). In addition to the VIDEO_TS folder, they have a VIDEO_RM folder. When I try to drag the TS folder into MPEG Streamclip, it says "File open error: unsupported file type" and when I select "Open Anyway" the preview is glitchy and converted files won't contain the full video.
BTW, the DVD+Rs play fine using DVD Player.
Does anyone know how I can successfully convert these files? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you. Apparently either the +R or +RW makes a difference. Good idea about copying the DVD+R to a DVD-R. I'll try that.
FYI: With all of these discs, I first drag the files to my hard drive - I don't try to convert from the DVDs.
I tried putting the DVD+R in my PC and using DVD Decrypter to rip it. But the VIDEO_TS files gave the same error message in MPEG Streamclip.

  • Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

  • Reopening Scene Menu for DVD's with chapters is not possible

    Cannot reopen the scene menu after stopping play in a chapter and neither TV or DVD players help. How can I go back to scene menu direct without going through the main menu? Thanks for helping.

    You cannot do what you describe with a DVD-VIDEO with menu on DVD disc created in Premiere Elements (any version).
    The best that I can do, after I stop the playback of a scene midway into it, is to hit submenu to get be back to the
    main menu page and there hit Scene Selection to get to select another scene.
    Until proven otherwise, I do not believe it is possible for you to do what you describe with your Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO disc menus.

  • I have 3  h.264 files which i want to create a dvd movie with?

    hi guys
    i hope you can help.
    i have 3 seperate h.264 files (video has been graded and colour corrected) which i want to put on a dvd as one seamless movie.
    my friend did the exporting and had to do it in smaller chunks because it kept crashing his computer., the format he used was h.264, now its very important that i can create a dvd movie with these files to be viewed on a standalone dvd player..
    how would do i this? most efficient method and preserve  good quality?

    One thing to be aware of is when you burn a disk image in Encore, you'll end up with a .iso disk image file.  In the past I made the mistake of dragging the .iso file into the  dvd-r folder and burning it from finder.   This made it so it burned as a data DVD that didn't play on my DVD player.  In order to make playable copies of the DVD using the disc image you have to use the apple Disk Utility application located in utilities to burn a playable DVD.  Do this...
    Open Disk Utility located in / Applications / Utilities /  Disk Utility.
    Click Burn in  the tool bar at the top of the window and select your Adobe Encore disc image (.iso).
          3.  Select the Appropriate DVD burning drive and insert your blank disc. Make sure your disc is free of dust and fingerprints before burning to reduce the probability of failure.
         4. Click Burn to create your DVD disc.
         5. Remember to test your disc in several DVD players if possible before burning additional copies.

  • DVD Menu with Two or More Highlights per Button

    I have created a DVD Main Menu in Photoshop CS4 Extended for Premiere Elements 4 as well as editing an existing Premiere Elements 4 DVD Main Menu in Photoshop Elements 6 and run into the same following highlighting problem:
    The design of each menu button is such that there is in its Group:
    a. the (%) video for the thumbnail of the video (4:3 solid color block)
    b. frame to go around the thumbnail
    c. Text to go under the framed thumbnail
    When I roll the cursor over the button, I want the frame as well as the text to be highlighted. I can achieve one or the other, but not both. I use (=1) for the Text highlight and (=2) for the frame frame, but, no matter what combination or arrangement of layers/layer sets/codes, the result is the same, one or the other (using =1), but not both (using =1 and =2).
    Although an Encore DVD Menu creation tutorial suggests that the code species (=2) exists, I have yet to find an existing Premiere Elements 4 DVD Menu where both the frame and the text underneath the frame is highlighted at the same time when the cursor is rolled over the button (showing the =1 and =2 codes or anything else)
    I would appreciate any comments on whether I am looking for something that is not possible OR whether I have just not figured out the how to answer.

    Hunt,
    When you create your DVD menus with Photoshop and Encore as described, can these menus be loaded into Premiere Elements 4 or any other version of Premiere Elements and do these menus work in Premiere Elements 4 or any other version of Premiere Elements?
    If I cannot go the (=2) highlight route, I have thought about creating a text layer (for the title under the thumbnail), simplifying (rasterizing it), then adding a the frame to that layer, and then coding the layer (=1) highlight. But, I have not done that yet.
    SG
    Did you really mean ...., named (%) Highlight....in your suggestions or did you mean (=1). I have been through all the how tos and have a good handle on the conventions, except for this one point.
    Thank you both. In the final analysis, at this point it is more a "why can't I" instead of "I have to have that dual highlight" to make the effect work. Thank you both for your inputs and am heading back to the programs to explore your helpful suggestions.

  • Can you make custom DVD menus with PrE9?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to make a custom DVD menu with PrE9? I don't mean modifying a template, I mean creating your own layout.
    My  background is with the Nero product and with that I was able to create  custom DVD menus. Adding as many or few buttons to a screen, etc.
    I've  been trialing PrE9 and I see that you can modify a template, but it  appears that you cannot change the number of buttons, or scenes that are  supported from any given screen.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    -=John

    Although you can modify the colors, fonts and even menu background, you can't do any deep modifications of Premiere Elements templates in Premiere Elements.
    You can, however, modify and create your own templates using a program like Photoshop or even Photoshop Elements. (The templates are PSD files.) There are quite a number of rules you have to follow, however. And the order of the layer sets and the names you give each layer is very important.
    I do take you step-by-step through the process in my combined Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements book, available on Amazon.com and at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.
    http://Muvipix.com/pe9.php
    I've also created a number of templates for http://Muvipix.com, many of which are available for free. A couple of these are very generic so that they can be easily modified in the Premiere Elements Disc Layout workspace.

  • Creating two-level dvd menu with Elements 9

    Hi,
    I am trying to burn a DVD (and later on Blu-Ray) using PRE 9. I can burn using a provided menu-template.
    However, I would like to create a two (or multi) level menu for the disk. I would like to make the menu
    look like this:
    Play all
    Year 1
    Scene 1A
    Scene 1B
    Main Menu
    Year 2
    Scene 2A
    Scene 2B
    Main Menu
    Year 3
    I would like to burn DVD and Blu-ray disks with such menus.
    How can I create such menus using Premier Element 9?
    Thanks!

    I am not clear on what you mean by a "two level DVD menu".
    Premiere Elements disc menus come as a set of main menu and scene menus. But, it is possible to have the menu situation present with one main menu.
    Apparently you want to have a Timeline of multiple movies, have the viewer select the one to watch first, and then, at the end of the movie selected, have the viewer taken back to the main menu. That all can be accomplished for DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc with the placement of stop marker at the end of each Timeline movie (except the last one). Each movie could have a scene marker at its beginning which will trace to a scene button in the scene selection page. But, there is a sacrifice in doing this. This scenario does not permit for a functional "Play All".
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/09/pe-dvd-menu-navigationplay-all-loss.html
    In addition, the above is not applicable to AVCHD format on DVD disc or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc (with stop markers) because the players for those discs do not support stop markers.
    Please review the above and then we can discuss the matter further.
    Thank you.

  • Replaced DVD-ROM with 18x MCE Superdrive. Will not complete a DVD burn!!!!

    updating my gigabit ethernet dual 450 G4 powermac. swapped out the original dvd-rom drive with an 18x SuperDrive from MCE. Running Panther 10.3.9 with all updates. Machine has upgraded 120GB hard drive, 512 RAM.
    Driver loads from MCE install disc. Using Toast 7.1.2 to burn a data DVD-R using automatic "best speed" setting. Drive revs up and "writing lead-in" appears in Toast window, but no blue in the progress bar. Toast then says :Writing disc", and displays a time (usually 1:40), but does not count down. Eventually, the drive becomes silent and the burning process just hangs there. I've let it hang for about an hour. Tried burning a DVD-R with 20MB data, up to a disc with 2GB data, and same thing happens. I then abort the burning process, having to Force Quit 5 times to close Toast, then restart. OS prompt appears as Toast opens, saying "disc contains no volumes blah blah, eject, ignore etc). I eject the DVD-R and ALWAYS on the write surface, there is about a 1/2" of data that appears to be written, but the disc is obviously unreadable. I have wasted 7 out of the 10 free DVD-Rs that came with the MCE drive. Used PatchBurn 3 and it says drive is already supported. System Prof says burning is "vendor supported".
    Tech support on the phone asked about master/cable settings. Superdrive is master (as was original DVD-Rom I removed), and I kept intact the Zip 100 drive underneath, which has no jumper plug on either of the 3 sets of jumper pins.
    I ran the burning process: 1.) with Zip Drive unplugged from shared cable, SuperDrive still set to master. 2.) with Zip drive connected and set to slave, SuperDrive still as master.
    Same burning problem with Toast 7.1.2 as well as the older 6.0 version.
    I managed to however burn a CD-R of data in both Toast versions, and disc burning appears to be supported in the iTunes burning preferences.
    What else. The drive is listed in Toast as DVD-RAM. And apparently tech support has told me this is an LG 18x SuperDrive, and I was instructed to load the driver from the install disc for 20x SuperDrive. The driver froom the 18x install disc (the obvious one I thought, since it is an 18x burner), did not enable burning according to System Profiler and iTunes. I used PatchBurn 3 to create a driver successfully, but had the same burning problem.
    I'd rather find some answers here, than have to call MCE support in Irvine California and use up minutes on my cell!!!
    Please, help. I'm sure I can send the drive back to macmall.com. Can anyone recommend a SuperDrive that will actually work in my G4 Dual 450?
    Thank You!!
    marc

    Today I bought that very same model LG - branded, black front from a local PC retailer. It was cheap, bulk without any package or cables,in fact it was only 5 Euros more than a CDRW...
    Apple System Profiler says : DVD-RAM GSA-H55N, vendor Aopen/LG, atapi , firmware id : 1.03 , internal disk id : 0.
    I have a copy of Toast Titanium 6.05 -> upgraded for free at Roxios website to 6.1.1 and succes - I have burned a 550 MB CD-R with Toast under my beloved Jaguar OS 10.2.8 at full speed settings in virtualy no time ;.)
    I am bidding on ebay right now for a copy of Apples ilife (2003) which contains idvd3, the only version which will run on my specs.( idvd4 is some 700Mhz minimum ) . I will try tomorrow how about patchburn in the Jaguar edition will make this drive compatible with Finder's or itunes burn buttons.
    Anyway, Toast 6 seems to be able to do the job, and it can make DVDs and Video-/ Picture and what not else CDs too. I did not doctor with the speeds settings, I left all to "best possible" and it burnt in very little time a disc I can read on my Tiger Mac too.
    The G4 PCI tower ( 1999 - 2000 ) is built on around the same mainboard as the blue/white G3, it has internal 100 MhZ IDE-bus, so it works even this old and I would expect any G3 tower wo also support that combination of Software/OS/Burn Apps. Those old machines can do wonders, let alone you need the Software from back when it was "High-End". - Of course I could put Tiger and ilife 06 on it, but then it would get ridiculous slow and unproductive.
    Just my few first opinions with the all new Burner in the oh so old machine

  • DVD project with movie and additional files on same disk?

    Hi-
    Dell 9200 (aka XPS 410), WinXP Pro SP2, Encore 2.0.
    I have a DVD project that I am assembling and need to include different types of files on the same DVD. I have an educational movie that is already formatted on a stand-alone DVD (just like one you would rent from Blockbuster). It needs to go onto a DVD along with some additional supporting files in .pdf and .txt file formats. The DVD has to be able to autostart and play on both a home TV/DVD setup as well as a computer. Users also need to be able to access the additional .pdf and .txt files if it is viewed on a computer. Can these two viewing arrangements co-exist on one DVD? Seems to me that it would all work fine if I converted the stand-alone DVD movie into a something like a Quicktime or Windows Media file, created a XHTML file that can be used as an autostart menu, and then link the movie, .pdf and .txt files from there. All of this can then be burned onto one DVD that can be viewed on a computer, but I assume it would NOT be able to be viewed on a TV/DVD home setup. On the other hand, If I created a DVD using Encore I could just make an autostart screen with menu, but I don't think the menu would suppport something like linking to the .pdf and .txt documents (not that they could be viewed on a home TV/DVD setup anyway.
    So, am I looking at having to make two separate DVDs--one with the movie and one with the additional .pdf and .txt materials? Would this have to go onto a dual-sided DVD? One side with the movie and one side with the additional materials? Would it be best to just convert the movie and stick all the files on one DVD? (Even though my boss hates this idea because it will reduce the quality of the current DVD movie).
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    -=Scott

    eDVD is one option. It uses the Interactual Player to link to your extra content directly from the DVD material. Your other option is just to create your own separate content for use on computers. DVD players only pay attention to the VIDEO_TS folder, which must be in the root directory. If you also have an autorun.inf in the root directory, Windows-based systems will follow the instructions there rather than treating the disc as a DVD-Video disc. So you could use an autorun.inf to launch whatever you want to play on the computer (Director projector, other executable, etc.). You can add that extra stuff to the DVD either by using the "ROM Content" feature in Encore or by building to a folder and then burning your disc with other burning software (be sure to use the UDF filesystem or it won't work in DVD players).
    Notes:
    1. Mac computers will still launch whatever application is set to handle DVD-Video discs in the System Preferences (usually the Apple DVD player).
    2. If computer users need to view the DVD-Video content, you will need to give them some help in doing that. (i.e. instructions to manually launch their software DVD player, linking directly to the DVD-Video content from your Director project, providing a separate copy of the video, etc.)
    3. eDVD's effectiveness is diminished by the fact that it requires installation of the Interactual player. If the user is unwilling/unable to install software on their computer, such as many corporate/educational users, they will be unable to take advantage of the eDVD features.

  • Sharing DVD-ROM with windows computers ?

    altought i'm very experienced with linux, i'm rather new to mac os, so if this question sounds dumb, accept my early apologies.
    thing is, some time ago, i was trying to copy some printer drivers from a CD to a windows box that didn't have a working cd-rom reader. at first i tried to share my ibook's dvd drive with the windows box, but couldn't find a way to do that from the GUI. since samba is nothing new to me, i edited samba's smb.conf file and added the share manually. after i restarted samba, the windows box could see the share, list the cd's folders but it couldn't open any file nor run executables.
    all windows said was that i didn't have permission to do so.
    i ended up sharing the C: drive on the windows machine and mounted it on mac os to push the files to a temp folder on the wondows side.
    i found and old thread here (from 2000 IIRC) about a shareware that could share folders other than my own home folder, but i don't want to use it, i rather edit smb.conf manually. i'd like to know if there's anything alse besides adding the share in smb.conf that'll allow windows to access the files on my DVD unit.

    ok here is the problem the mount points of volumes on Mac OSX differs from linux,
    In linux volumes are mounted in /mnt
    however on the mac the reside in /dev for example my dvd drive on my imac is
    /dev/disk1s1
    but the only way to browse the volume is using is pathname /Volumes/dvdname
    where dvdname is that actual name of the disk.
    So I can easily setup a samba sharepoint on my using the /Volumes path e.g add the following to /etc/smb.conf
    [dvd]
    comment = dvd drive on macintosh
    writable = no
    path = /Volumes/dvdname
    The problem is that whenever you change your dvd roms you have to change the path to the /Volumes/ each time.
    Sharepoints would be quick way of doing this.
    I have tried using path = /dev/disk1s1
    but I get an error I will keep digging and if you google around as well maybe we can find a good solution.

  • Using Lacie DVD enclosure with new HDD : Will it work ?

    May be a silly question. Seems that my Lacie Firewire 400 External DVD burner with a 7.5 " enclosure is no longer working. Should I decide to buy an External Drive
    for my Powermac G4. Will I encounter any difficulties installing the drive ?
    Comments welcome.

    With FireWire, you may not have any problems, but there's always the possibility that the bridge board in the enclosure isn't programmed for use with a hard drive (fixed media). An optical drive is classified as a removable media device. I tried connecting a hard drive to the bridge board from a Sony DVD burner enclosure with FireWire/USB 2.0 connectivity, but it wasn't recognized. Try it - you won't damage anything, but make sure the hard drive is configured as "master" and not the factory default of "cable select."

  • Can AE provide wired LAN connectto DVD player with internet streaming

    Hi!
    Can you please tell me if the Airport Express (in a home network that has a Airport Extreme as the primary router) be used to connect wirelessly to the router and then use the LAN 100 port to connect a DVD player with internet video streaming.
    Bottom line, can the AE LAN port be used to feed a wired connection, or is it only for taking a LAN input to create a wireless network?
    Thanks!

    You could continue to use the older "g" devices to stream with AirTunes, but yes, the slower "g" speeds will drag down the performance on the network.
    I would give a strong look to ethernet powerline adapters. They are almost as good as having a straight ethernet cable connection and will provide much more bandwidth and speed than wireless.
    If you are going to download movies or stream audio and vide, wireless is not the way to go. Ethernet is always the best way to go if possible. Second choice is ethernet powerline adapters. Distant third for movie streaming or gaming applications would be wireless.

  • Recording fios tv to DVD recorder with tivo/fios cablecard

    ok this post is for my dad....and if ur thinking why the hack does he want a dvd recorder when they already have a tivo...don't ask my dad is kinda weird he still "tapes" shows on VHS tapes using vcr, and tapes radio shows on cassettes....then again he also still pyas his bills with a pen, a check and the us postal service.....
    anyway, I didn't know much about the world of dvd recorders before a couple days ago, so I have a few questions before and if I actually decide to get him one.
    Question 1: we currently have an HD TV with an HD tivo connected and a multistream verizon fios cablecard. My question is regarding copyright limitations....what prevents you from just recording any tv program onto dvd, as you still can onto a VHS? and what percentage of the channels/shows have this protection? like would he only be able to record from the original 12 or so broadcast channels? this is my main concern....he watched a lot of the sports channels like espn espn2 golf channel nbatv etc....
    Question 2: also, when doing my research I thought of another benefit a dvd recorder may have. I have been putting all the family home videos which are on vhs onto dvd, but it's a bit of a process. I use an external usb capture device made by Hauppage hooked up to the VCR then the computer captures it realtime and generates an mpeg video file on my hard drive, THEN I have to spend the 1 or 2 hours it takes to convert to DVD format and burn with Nero so it can be played on a regular DVD player......so....question being....
    can a standalone DVD recorder hook up to a VCR to transfer video direct to a DVD, or do you have to buy a DVD recorder with a built in VHS deck?
     Question 3: oh and someone once told me that you can only play the recorded DVD's on the recorder, and not other regular DVD players...I couldn't believe this was actually true...but was he right?
    TIA!

    Answers:
    Question 1: if the DVD recorder is connected to the TIVO there shouldn't be anything prohibiting him from recording. The signal sent out from the TIVO is an unencrypted feed that can be processed by anything (TV, VCR, DVD recorder, ETC). As long as theres no restrictions within the DVD recorder itself, you should be fine to record anything. This also means you have to record realtime (press play on TIVO and record on the DVD recorder and wait the amount of time for the event to end before pressing stop)
    Question 2: You would need to talk to the tech support for your DVD recorder. Its going to depend on what types of video streams and formats it will accept as a source
    Question 3nce again this is a question for the DVD recorder tech support, not Verizon. It depends on the file format that the recorder saevs the file as. Not only that, but different players also can read different formats. So you have to take a look at the recorder and the dvd play back device

  • Looking for a DVD Player with same functionality as CyberPro Power DVD

    I have just converted from PC to Mac, and love it, but have a special requirement and need some guidance.
    I work in TV and need to be able to preview footage shot on site that has been converted onto a DVD. On my old PC using Power DVD, after hitting 'Play' I can fast forward and fast reverse, and increase the speed of FF or FR in small increments (up to 32 times normal speed) using the scroll wheel on my mouse. That gives me a lot of control as I search through countless hours of footage to shot list, and saves heaps of time.
    With the standard Mac DVD Player, I can hold down the FF and FR buttons to get a slight increase in speed, but it is still far too slow and clumsy for what I need.
    VLC was recommended, but when I hold down the FF and FR it scrolls in minutes, whereas I need to scroll in frames.
    Does anybody know of a high quality DVD Player with the scrolling features similar to Power DVD that I can purchase?

    Have you tried, +DVD Player>Controls>Scan Rate+ ?
