DVDSP preset question with batch processing.

I hope someone can help.
When I drag my files that I want to batch process, where I can
choose the output, for example DVD HD, etc.
These presets have different times with them for video, like 120, 190, or even 30.
My question is, what is the difference between them? Does any of them produce better quality of the video?
My video files are .avi files and run about 30 minutes.
Also, does it matter which I choose as far as HD DVD, DVD best quality, etc., if these are already .avi files or just choose DVD HD and have the best quality possible?
Thank you for any help that is given.

About the numbers, the 30, 120, 190, etc. What do
those numbers mean?
Are they minutes? And if they are minutes, does that
mean it goes by how a regular dvd has minutes on it
or does it go by how long each file is, or total size
of project?
What those numbers mean are the amount of material that will fit on a DVD-5 based on the encoding settings, so in other words if you choose 120 it means that about 2 Hrs of running time of video will fit on the DVD encoded at that rate. Normal and high quality are whether it is a one pass or two pass
I am still a little confused.
I have 10 .avi files. Each one is about 30 minutes
long and is about 300mb.
I am unsure on what video setting or settings to use
that will allow me to have at least the same quality
as the files already are.
Encoding will reduce the quality, sometimes you may notice, other times not, but you have about 6 hours worth of material there. Depedning on what it is you can make a DVD-9, but unless it is very low motion probably not a DVD-5 (Also 300 Megs for 30 minutes of material (and I have not looked at new avi codecs recently) sounds like the material is already compressed heavily
To give you a rough idea, DV which is what comes from many consumer cameras with firewire, is compressed at a rate of about 5:1 already, and 9 minutes 20 seconds is just shy of 2 Gigs, so 30 minutes would be in the area of 6 Gigs of DV (or about 18 times the size of your files)
i have already done the audio portion of each file so
the video portions are all I need to do now.
Best thing to do is play with the settings, test small sections where there is less motion and more motion. In general 2-Pass is going to provide you with better results than one pass

  • Help with batch processing

    Hi, I am having trouble with batch processing. I want to apply adaptive noise reduction (ANR) to several files from the same source tapes. So, following the help instructions, I create a script from one file. When I try to apply it to the other files, instead of applying ANR to them, it simply saves them as is. The steps I perform are as follows:
    I select the entire wave (I have also tried it without first selecting)
    I open the scripts box in the file menu
    I click on open/new script collection and create a new script
    I title the new script
    I click 'record'
    I close the scripts box
    I run ANR on the file
    I go back to the scripts box and click 'stop current script'
    I click add to collection
    I close the scripts box
    I open the batch processing box
    I select the files, then the script, then I click to start processing
    When I try to apply this to script to other files, it saves them but doesn't apply ANR.
    Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Also, in the scripts box, there are three options for the type of script that I can create. One is highlighted: 'Scripts start from scratch.' Is that the correct one to use? If not, how do I select one of the others? I click on them but nothing happens. Finally, when creating a script, do I save the file before or after clicking 'stop record'? I have tried it both ways but don't know which is correct (neither seems to make a difference).
    Just to be as thorough as possible, below is the text of one of my scripts, in case that contains any clues. Thanks so much for any and all help!!

    This is what my script looks like. Although I was worried about the strange characters in the script, it does work.
    Make sure that the script you use is suitable for the sample rate and bit depth of the file. E.g. if you have 44100/32-bit files, then don't use a script that was recorded on a file with e.g. 48000/16-bit. If required, resample or make different scripts for different rates/depths.

  • Need help with batch processing picture packages

    Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2.  (Windows).
    I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
    I know how to create an action.  I know how to batch process from this action.  I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
    I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
    I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
    I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
    What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
    So is this possible to do??  I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
    Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
    Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
    Jodie

    hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
    At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
    Thanks for your assistance...

  • Can I desynchronize one station with batch process model?

    Hi,
    My project has 5 stations run test in parallel. I decide to use batch process model since I want them to start and stop together. Beside start and stop, I have some certain part in the test sequence need to sync together. But in 5 stations, I want one station work without sync at these steps. I tried using batch synchronize with precondition but it looks like other stations still wait for the one I skip the sync. My another option is using rendervous with number of parallel thread is total - 1. I test and this works. But I still want to know if I can use batch synchronize step or not because this offer the start sync and exit sync feature.
    Thank you!
    Solved!

    Doug,
    Thanks for your answer.
    I want to have something happens parallel with other threads but without affect by batch sync steps. I have multiple stations working parallel in assembly line. They are sync because of pick and place. But I want to have one process works as station manager who keep track of UUT between station and other environment condition like pressure, temperature.
    Thang
    Generally, the intent of the TestSockets in the process models is that they will have a 1 to 1 correspondence to UUTs, does your 5th socket correspond to a UUT? In otherwords are there 5 UUTs under test at one time? UUTs often need things like report generation or database logging. Does your 5th socket require report generation? If not perhaps this 5th socket is really more of a utility thread and thus creating a new thread or execution at runtime makes sense for it. If your 5th socket instead does really correspond to a UUT that is being tested in parallel enitrely separately from the other UUTs then perhaps you should start up a new execution for that socket using the sequential model and just have that running at the same time as your other sockets are running with the batch model.
    So it really depends on what you are using that 5th station/thread for as to what approach would likely work best.
    Hope this helps,

  • Question about Batch processes in CS4

    Hello everyone,
    I was hoping there's a solution to my problem. My laptop's MoBo died recently so I wil be retrieving data from my HDD via another laptop. I created a Batch process in CS4 to resize and perform a few more actions on pictures. I was hoping to save that Batch process without having to recreate it. Are batch processes made by the user saved in a particular folder that I can just go into and copy?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Riley

    Did you save the action as an *.atn file using the context menu of the palette?
    If not, then the action is only "present" in one of the preferences files, together with all the other preferences.
    You can try to copy the preferences files, but I don't know whether the action will "come to life".
    Of course it must be the same version of photoshop on your other PC.

  • Please help  me with some questions with batch input session?

    hello everyone.
      I come to some questions  like
    1 What is a batch input session ,
    2  What is the alternative to batch input session?
    3  An ABAP program creates a batch input session.   We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it? 
       would you please help me with the questions, couldn't thank you more.
       Best regards

    Hi
    Batch Input Session:
    BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table
    and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session
    ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program
    name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    Three processing modes of executing Batch Input Session :-
    Run Visibly : You can correct faulty transactions online & work step-by-step through  the transactions not yet executed.
    Display Errors only : You can correct faulty transactions online.   Transactions not yet executed, but without error, run in the background.
    Run in Background .
    2) What is the alternative to batch input session?
    Call transaction.
    3) An ABAP program creates a batch input session. We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
    go to SM36 and create background job by giving
         job name,job class and job steps (JOB SCHEDULING)

  • Problem with Batch Processing an Action using a Graphic Style Library

    Hi,
    I have ~100 files in which I need to change the fill and stroke of all the linework. I created Graphic Styles for all my new features. I then created an Action that sets a fill and stroke color, Select Same Fill and Stroke, then applies the new Graphic Style. This repeats for about 20 variations (ie; select all Fill=X, Stroke=Y, then apply Graphic Style A. Select all Fill=X2, Stroke=Y2 then apply Graphic Style B). It runs fine in my test file. The problem occurs when I try to run it in batch mode. I have my new Graphic Style Library set to Persistent, so that it is open for every file. But the action does not apply the new Graphic Styles. It's like it doesn't see/read the Graphic Style Library. I don't get any errors, the action completes. It just doesn't apply anything.
    Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Are you not able to use an action to apply a graphic style from an added Library?  Do I need to add the graphic styles to the Graphic Styles Panel and have the action reference the Panel, not the Library?
    Any help or insight is appreciated.
    M

    Try this:
    Copy an item that has the Graphic Style to the clipboard before starting the action. Then put a paste step followed by a delete step at the start of the action.
    Hope that helps.

  • Batch Process Export As and Save As JPEG Question?

    What is the method for creating scaled JPEGs from PNG files with batch processing (File | Batch Process...)?
    Application environment: Fireworks CS4.
    Using History panel, I manually captured instructions
    Modify | Transform | Numeric Transform (13%)
    Modify | Canvas | Fit Canvas
    File | Save As (JPEG)
    History panel's saved JavaScript file script:
    fw.getDocumentDOM().scaleSelection(0.11999999731779099, 0.11999999731779099, "autoTrimImages transformAttributes");
    fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSizeToDocumentExtents(true);
    fw.saveDocumentAs(null, true);
    Running this sequence as a batch job requires manually selecting JPEG and "okaying"
    CS4 documentation for saveDocumentAs is defined with different argument list: fw.saveDocumentAs(document) .  CS4 documentation also has: fw.exportDocumentAs(document, fileURL, exportOptions) to export JPEG (80% quality).  CS4 feature File | Image Preview... | Export does not create a history record for guidance.  I cannot find an example of either instruction save a file to a local folder in JPEG format.  My objective is to add an additional batch step Rename (prefix) for the JPEG output, and script this a a batch process.

    Joyce,
    Thank you.  Your suggestion helped clear my mental log jam.
    Fireworks batch scripting seems to work in reverse.
    Using "Batch Process..." scripting interface 'Export' (as JPEG) option first, 'Rename' (add Prefix) option second, and then follow these by using the history panel's 2 previously saved steps (Numeric Transform, Fit Canvas), batch process now works.  PNG file (list) is saved in targeted folder as a reduced scale JPEG with a prefixed file name.
    Batch Process allows the entire newly defined command sequence to be saved (script.js).  Placing this (renamed) file into Firework's batch look-up directory for scripts (C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Commands) does not work.  The file name does not display in "Batch Process" window "Batch options:" Commands drop-down list.
    Batch Process only works by recreating the above steps each use.
    The new (JavaScript) file is 26 KB.  Is script file size limited in Fireworks "Batch options:" feature?

  • Image matte key: batch processing possible?

    Hello again,
    I have a question concerning batch processing with Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    I would like to apply an image matte key to about 30 videos. The matte doesnt change, neither does the background photo.
    I would like to know if there's a way to apply this to all the videos at the same time.
    I have only been able to apply it to one video at a time, which means that I would have to do the same process 30 times. Because I have about 12 sets of background photos, I would have to do it about 360 times in the end. So batch processing would really help...
    I need the videos to be seperate in the end (360 videos).
    I hope someone has a solution for me. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    Check to see if this works:
    Create and Import your Matte into PrPro. Place it on the desired Video Track, and then extend its Duration for all Clips on that Timeline. Apply the Track Matte Keying to the first Clip, and make the attributes adjustments to it. Rt-click that Clip, and choose Copy. Then lasso all other Clips in that Track, Rt-click on them and choose Paste Attributes. Does that work?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - not sure if a Nested Sequence would also do what you want.

  • Batch processing light levels...

    I make stop-motion animations using natural light. This results in a “flickering” effect due to the small differences in light in each still. I am able to balance the light levels in Photoshop for each still, but this is very time-consuming. I’ve heard of using Batch processing for multiple images, but I have one question:
    Can Batch processing take a number of images and make the light levels the same in each (so that all the images look the same)? Or does it just take a number of images and make the same adjustments to each one (so that they would still look different from eachother)?

    Or does it just take a number of images and make the same adjustments to each one (so that they would still look different from eachother)?
    How do you adjust the luminance?
    Is it done with one of the Auto corrections? Then it should be automatable.
    If it requires manual input (for example in the Levels or Curves dialog) then you are looking at a problem (not an undeserved one, I guess, as you chose natural lighting).
    Far as I can tell automation of content-dependent corrections basically requires some form of quantifiability of the issue; so if you could for example deduce the necessary correction from the Histogram one should be able to make a Script for the task.

  • Apply a Batch Process of Clean Up and Level Voice Over?

    I want to apply a batch proces of "Clean Up and Level Voice Over," which is a preset.
    However, batch processes can only use "favorites." So I try to create a favorite with the preset.
    But this gives me an error, "A new favorite could not be recorded because no supported actions were recorded."
    Can this be done? If so, what am I missing or doing wrong? I've read the help on the favorites and I'm following those instructions. I start recording, select the presets, apply, then stop recording and I get the error.
    If I just select the presets and don't apply them to a wav file while recording preset, I get the same error, "A new favorite could not be recorded because no supported actions were recorded."
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    -billb

    Hi Bill,
    Audition CS 5.5 could record individual effects as favorite operations, but not effects racks.  (While I can't discuss what's coming in CS 6 right now, I might suggest that this problem was one that bothered many of us on the team and one that we actively pursued solving early in CS 6 development...)
    The workaround I can suggest right now would be to Start Recording a Favorite, then open and apply each effect from the Clean Up and Level Voiceover preset one at a time, with the Default settings. 
    1. Adaptive Noise Reduction
    2. Speech Volume Leveler
    3. Hard Limiter
    Then Stop Recording the Favorite and it should behave equivalent to the effects rack preset when used in the Batch Process tool.

  • Bridge - Batch Processing has stopped working...help

    I am using Photoshop for Windows in CS2. Have been for years. Work with batch processing and Web Gallery all the time...for years.
    Batch Processing and Web Gallery stopped working (along with other Photoshop features). I upgraded to Windows 7, and photoshop/bridge/indesign, etc work once again.
    Batch Processing and Web Gallery still don't work. When I select items Bridge and click "Tools", "Photoshop", "Web Photo Gallery" it clicks over to photoshop, as if the process is about to begin. But then Photoshop lies there doing nothing. No action menu pops up if I select "Batch" no "Web Photo Gallery" dialog box initiates if I select the gallery.
    Any assistance, that can save me the $1000 on a CS upgrade, will be greatly apprecieated.
    Thank you for your time.

    Look in edit/preferences/scripts and make sure there is a checkmark for both Bridge and Photoshop.  Without that they can't talk.

  • CS4 open script using Bridge batch processing

    I wrote a script in CS to open a logo file (.psd) and copy it onto a photo
    Since upgrading to CS4 the script will not work with batch processing in bridge. It does work in Photoshop on a single image however.
    Here is my open script....when I batch process it brings up an open dialog instead of just opening the file
    ///CODE
    var activeDoc = activeDocument;
    var logoDoc = open(File("/c/stlg.psd"), OpenDocumentType.PHOTOSHOP, false);

    That didn't work either :(
    I was looking at the OpenDocument.jsx sample in the scripting samples directory and tried batch processing it....it opens a photoshop sample psd file and it worked...though I don't understand the code or why my code above won't work
    /////OpenDocument.jsx code
    //var strSamplesFolderDirectory = localize( "$$$/LocalizedFilenames.xml/SourceDirectoryName/id/Extras/[LOCALE]/[LOCALE]_Samples/value =Samples" );
    //var strSampleFileNameLayerComps = localize ("$$$/LocalizedFilenames.xml/SourceFileName/id/Extras/[LOCALE]/[LOCALE]_Samples/Layer_Com ps.psd/value=Layer Comps.psd");
    var fileRef = new File(app.path.toString() + "/" + strSamplesFolderDirectory + "/" + strSampleFileNameLayerComps);
    open (fileRef);
    fileRef = null;
