Editing in high definition

I have a client that has footage shot on a JVC GY-HD100 camera. Shot in high deifinition mode. Final out put of the video is to be standard definition. The client wants the thing done anamorphic so that if played on a tube television it will be letterbox and if played on a newer widescreen tv there will be no letterboxing. So what capture setting should I use, what high def timeline settings and then what is the best way to down convert to a standard def timeline. Thanks

First of all. HDV/HD Cameras (this one included) can shoot in multiple HD formats. So without knowing what they are shooting in (720p24, 720p30) I can't tell you what capture setting you need. However, once you have that figured out, I would suggest transcoding all your captured footage to ProRes codec for editing as HDV is a long GOP format which can take quite a while to conform.
FCP 6 will automatically adjust the sequence to the correct format when you add the first clip so you don't have to worry about sequence settings.
Once you're done editing and want to downconvert, create an Uncompressed 8bit Sequence and then drag your high-def sequence into the new SD sequence. FCP will automatically size the HD frame down to fit in the SD frame.
However, regarding the "anamorphic" part of your question. SDTVs have no way of identifying a 16:9 signal or a 4:3 one. That's usually figured out by a DVD player (although old ones won't know either). Assuming that this is going to DVD, creating an anamorphic final product isn't that difficult. Follow the instructions above regarding the Uncompressed SD sequence except before you drag the HD sequence in, open the SD sequence's settings (CMD+0) and click the anamorphic button from the General tab. Proceed as normal.
When you export the QT movie from FCP it'll remain in it's anamorphic mode. Compressor will compress it for DVD without changing it, and your resulting DVD should be correct.

  • Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition videos from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?

    Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition video from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?.
    That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

    There does not appear to be a list yet.

  • How can I "proxy edit:" a high-definition project?

    This is an undocumented process, created by the always amazing Robert Johnston, and a good solution if you find that editing HDV and AVCHD video natively puts too much stress on your system's resources.
    Proxy editing temporarily substitutes a sort of preview video for the native files, usually one of lower resolution so that you can work with it more easily. Then, when you output your project, the editing and effects applied to the proxy video are applied to the actual footage, creating a high-definition output.<br /><br />Here is Robert's solution:
    I have a custom project preset for 1080i that has an editing mode of 360x270. Anything you render as a preview is only 360x270 "MPEG-2 I-Frame Only." You can create your own and see if it helps with editing.
    To create your own, you first pick a project preset by clicking "Setup" on the startup screen displayed by Premiere Elements 4. Select the 1080i 30 or the 1080i 25 project preset from the HDV tree inside the NTSC or PAL nodes. Click the "New Preset" button, then click the "Save" button, then give the custom preset a name and description of your choice. Click "Save as Default." Exit out of Premiere Elements.
    Now open up your custom preset with WordPad. The custom preset file will be in the following folder:<br /><br />C:\documents and settings\[login id]\application data\adobe\premiere elements\4.0\settings\custom\
    Once you've opened it in WordPad, scroll down past the gibberish until you get to the line with ObjectID="6" and change the PixelAspectRatio from 1920,1080 to 480,360 and change the FrameSize from 1440,1080 to 360,270. Then save the file.
    <VideoSettings ObjectID="6" ClassID="58474264-30c4-43a2-bba5-dc0812df8a3a" Version="8">
    <MaximumBitDepth>false</MaximumBitDepth>
    <PixelAspectRatio>480,360</PixelAspectRatio>
    <FrameSize>0,0,360,270</FrameSize>
    After saving the file, you can start up PE and create a new project based on that custom preset. Clips you drag to the timeline will look normal sized, but if you render a preview of it, it will only be 360x270. It will look best when magnification is set to "Fit" or 50%.
    Add titles, effects, transitions. Then render a preview.
    You may not think that this would export correctly, but so far it has worked for me. The only thing that I haven't tried is burning a Blu-ray disc
    Titles won't come out correctly if you change framesizes in some of the other ObjectIDs of the custom preset file. Just change the one that I specified.
    Hopefully that gives you the idea so you can change the frameszie to something else if you don't like 360x270."

    Thanks for the reply.
    I am with you about editng preview file (proxy) instead of the original AVCHD HD1080i or HDV HD 1080i. But, I went off course with your comment:
    "Using the proxy you can view the video/effect without rendering" since you do not see the preview file until after you have rendered your edit of the Timeline.
    Perhaps my understanding of that will answer the question that I asked about the benefits of using the proxy procedure if the workflow is just import, no edit, export.

  • Editing/Burning High-Definition (HD) DVDs on my MBP?

    Hello all,
    I'm considering upgrading my camcorder to HD. (purchasing a new one)...
    I know this question could go in either iMovie or iDVD, but I figure I want to know about the DVD burner we have in our MBPs and thus here I am.
    If I purchase a new camcorder that creates HD movies, could I import/edit/burn an HD dvd? Or would I need to purchase a Blue-Ray DVD burner for my PC?
    Also, would iMovieHD be used to edit HD movies? Or is it just for Standard Definition (SD) movies?
    And am I understanding correctly that I should NOT purchase a camcorder that has a hard drive... but just a regular Mini DV tape camcorder?
    Thanks for helping out this camcorder newbie!
    Ted

    Tedology,
    First, you will not be able to burn a Blueray or HD-DVD with your MBP alone; the drive will only handle standard DVDs. So, you would have to use an external burner. Thing is, I don't know if there are (yet) any Blueray or HD-DVD burners that can be used with your MBP.
    iMovie HD does handle HD content very well, and has for quite some time now. After all, it is iMovie HD. Until now, the only "out" option has been to either send edited content back to the camera, or to use the H.264 codec to convert to Quicktime.
    As another poster has already mentioned, any H.264 content could then be burned as a Quicktime file to a standard DVD, but that will seriously limit your playback options (we're talking about a data DVD, not a video DVD).
    Perhaps someone will happen along who has first-hand knowledge concerning iMovie's compatibility with the current HD burners on the market. I see no reason why they wouldn't work with the MBP, but iMovie is going to have to include support for them. That, I just don't know about.
    Yes, the best option in any case is to use a camera that records to mini-DV tape. HD recording cameras will work, but the camera already compresses the video for storage on the HD. This is a lossy process. Mini-DV will give the highest quality possible.

  • Macbook or Macbook Pro for Editing High Definition (from AVCHD)

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon HG10. Am about to purchase a Mac laptop. My question is:
    - will a Macbook with 2.4Hz intel processor and 2GB RAM be able to readily edit high definition video imported from this camcorder
    - or do I require a Macbook Pro with its separate graphics card?
    My needs are simple editing for friends and family.
    Ideally I would spend less and purchase the Macbook, but would consider the Macbook Pro if there was a significant difference.
    I have noted from a previous post that a user with a Mac Mini appeared to have no trouble with AVCHD file importing and editing.
    Would really like to know if there are any Macbook users out there who have happily edited (in iMovie 08 or HD 06) high def AVCHD files, without the need for a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks in advance

    The current MacBooks are fine for editing AVCHD.
    I would recommend the 2.4 ghz model with at least 2GB of memory.
    Also be sure to leave money in your budget for an external firewire drive. If you do much video, you will quickly fill up the hard drive on a MacBook.

  • PE7 unable to recognize Canon HV20 as High Definition

    Hello Everyone:
    Unfortunately like some of you that probably want to try your hand at high definition editing, I just bought PE7 a couple of days before the announcement for PE8. For some reason I find that PE7 (and my previous PE3) cannot recognize my Canon HV20 as the high definition camera that it is.
    I can easily import regular dv-avi from this Canon but when trying to import the files as HDV, it does not recognize the camera.
    The camera is connected via firewire and is recognized as 'DV' Camcorder but not as an 'HDV' camcorder. The footage has been recorded in High defintion 1080.
    I hope that one of you with this type of camera can help.
    On another note, is it possible to record into PE7 with HDMI?
    Thanks,
    Lucio

    Lucio,
    Perhaps a different capture card is needed or Vista Ultimate (instead of the Home Premium that I have).
    A FireWire connection should be all that you will need. No "capture card" would be involved.
    There don't seem to be many setting available for transferring beside an 'AV-DV' on-off (which I keep on).
    Because my Canon is an SD-only unit, I can't really check its manual to help you. This line puzzles me a bit. What happens if you set this to OFF? Considering the number of menu options and switches that I have on my SD camera, I'd have expected your HD/SD unit to have more possible settings, but maybe I'm wrong and Canon has simplified things a lot.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

    [EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%.  I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements,  I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
    In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
    The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed  me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
    So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
    Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
    Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
    Save and Output your slide show.
    In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
    Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
    Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
    Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
    Ta Da!
    Cheers,
    Neale

    You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
    .prx
    The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
    Local Disc C
    Profile Files (x86)
    Adobe
    Elements 11 Organizer
    Assets
    Locale
    en_US
    tv_profiles
    in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
    .....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
    .....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
    .....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
    A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
    The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
    I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
    More later.

  • Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

    What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
    Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
    1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
    2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
    3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
    4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
    5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
    6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
    The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
    But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
    I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
    So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
    I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
    The exported AVI is black as well!!
    I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
    The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
    One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
    It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
    Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

    So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
    I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
    So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
    Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
    On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
    Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

  • HOW TO MAKE A HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DVD WITH PREMIERE CS2

    I have been working with my CS2 Premiere to create some auto play high definition, audio-only DVDs that are autoplay.  To clear the air, yes I know that CS4 will permit 24bit-96 kHz.  For the time being 16 bit-48 kHz, is still better (marginally) than CD, but it permits greater playing times.  Yes, I know that the autoplay without menues "feature" is bogus, and was never corrected by Adobe.  So much for their interest in their customers.
    I found a simple workaround for the autoplay/no menues feature.  Just make a DVD-RW with menues.  Then use DVD-DeCryper/Shrink/Nero - whatever to make an autoplay DVD onto a permanent disc.  It works well.
    Here is my latest crazy problem: How to get really long playing time.  I know I can make high qualitye DVD-A's up to 3 hours using Minatonka Bronze.  Unfortunately, DVD-A discs are worthless as they cannot play in 90% of DVD players, but they prove the time point.
    I have three 48 kHz files that I created in Adobe Audion.  The were 1.599, 0.911, and 0.974 GBs in size.  That added up to 3.480.  The playing time is about 2:30 Hours; quite a bit less than 3 hours.   I tried burning a DVD with these, audio-files-only.  I checked lowest quality video, used no video, and got an Export To DVD error that I had "insufficient" space on the 4.7 GB disc!  So, I used the two latter files, which added to only 1.884 GB.  Premiere did not baulk, and it successfully burned a DVD that played.  Then I added the 1.599 GB file, and, once again, it produced an error.  This was clearly not going to work.
    At this point, I realized that Audition had done what it liked to do: It had saved the 16 bit-48 kHz files as 32 bit-48 kHz!  So, I went back to Audition and used EDIT to change the files to genuine 16 bit-48 kHz files.  When I opened them in Premiere, Premiere reported 16 bit-48 kHz files.  Their sizes were now, 0.799, 0.456, and 0.487 GB.  Please note that this totals 1.742 GB.  This is less than the 1.884 GB I had successfully used before.   Once again, I was getting the "inssufficient" space error.  This is nuts.  The disc can hold 4.3+ GB, but won't fit 1.742.GB.
    So, anybody got some ideas?
    Mike

    Jim,
    I cannot believe you are wasting my time and the space of this forum with your irrelevances.  It would have been better had you just tried to answer my question, which is the purpose of these forums.  Why engage in useless chatter?
    I said nothing about any great sonic difference betweein 16/48 and 16/44 digital audio; I said "marginally."   In English that means very little difference.  I'm not going to prove to you with distortion and frequency response plots that there is some minor difference, it is a fact of life.  You, in fact, just stated a difference.  The difference between a 24 kHz cutoff and a 22 kHz custoff  is a difference which you give, to back up your absurd statement that there is no difference.  This can actually translate to a minor, difference in THD at higher audio frequencies, but who cares?   Well, you apparently care, because your beligerant non-reply to my question was that "fewer...would notice ."  In English that means that some would notice.
    What my question had to do with MP3 junk, or multichannel sound, I don't know.  Why should I do, as you suggest, and make DVD-A's when one needs only stereo?  This is a Premier forum, not a DVD-A forum.  Why not bother DVD-A junkies on Minatonka fourms?  DVDs can handle stereo PCM very nicely.  Classic Audio has marketed their 24/96 DADs for many years and so have a few other companies.   They have been well received by some "golden eared" types.  I hope they don't upset you.  There is a good possibility that DVD may only be around as a "legacy" feature on BLU RAY in future years.  DVD-A was DOA years ago and SACD may go just away; DVD-A is almost that.  So, PCM stereo sound DVD's are a good bet that the resultant disc will be playable on many people's players as well as future players.  The longer playing time that may be available would make listening to concerts easier, rather than breaking them up into segments.
    If you want to argue my motives, or tastes, I suggest you go to another forum and discuss you theories.  If you actually have something productive to say about the problem I pointed out, that would be welcome.
    Mike

  • Import of a high definition camera JVC for iMovie is that possible?

    GZ-HD7U JVC is my digital HDD camcoder. I can import video by firewire cable?
    When it does, does not appear any image. This camera is not on the list of cameras compatible with iMovie, but is recognized by the program. In spite of achieving import the recorded files in the camera for Mac by USB port, open in quick time and export in DV for iMovie for editing, but I would like to write directly into the Mac by firewire port, but I can not. The program does not read any image by firewire. Someone could help?

    Hello again,
    I apologize for not checking the spelling.
    Anyway, just looking for any advice to make a High Definition Photo Slide Show. I will buy more software if I have to. However, I cannot see that Final Cut will let me do this either.
    Merry Christmas Everyone.
    Craig
    I have a nice collection of professional quality photos. These 8 megapixel images and are 2000 line plus resolution. When I use these for a screen saver on my iBook the detail is fantastic.
    I have made a nice DVD using iMovie and iDVD. It looks pretty good. But the resolution is not that high. I understand that iMovie reduces the resolution on slideshows since it know the photos will be shown on a TV.
    I have tried making the same DVD from the beginning using the 720p and 1080i settings in iMovie and then import into iDVD.
    The final DVD is recognized by the high end DVD player as a 1080i format. However, the slideshow look not better than standard resolution. And I have tried all the various TV connectors (component, composite, HDMI, DVI, coaxial, etc). No difference.
    I would appreciate any input.
    Do I need to buy Final Cut Express to get a true 1280 line photo slideshow.
    Thank you in advance.

  • XP Drivers for Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221 - Do they exist?

    I recently purchased a Compaq C776CA and installed XP Home SP3 in order to be comaptable with my software requirements.
    Unfortunately the only drivers that I have been able to find for the sound chipset are Vista drivers, and that means that my microphone is not working.
    Has anyone been able to overcome this?  Are there XP drivers available that I have not been able to discover?
    Compaq Presario C776CA Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 3 GB DDR2 Ram
    Windows XP SP3
    Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221 Mobile Intel 965 Express Video Chipset

    In an old topic I dug up that it seems XP's SP3 needs an updated UUA driver, I don't know much about that issue but here's the link to it which you may need.
    http://www.dashken.net/uploads/technology/software/XPSP3/Universal_Audio_Architecture_High_Definitio...
    To clarify the rest of what we've covered, you didn't use the device ID I posted but used the one shown in the properties for yours and it still didn't find the device after having installed the MS UAA driver?  I might not have explained it well, some of the driver packages have a different "DEV_####" earlier in the same line which also needs changed, while others don't.
    From the Vista Conexant Audio driver on your system's download page, I got this device & subsystem ID:
    DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30D9
    Unless HP is offering the wrong Vista driver for your system, this should be the one seen in Device Manager, the properties for the HD Audio device. 
    If that is right in the INF file for any of these drivers we've linked, when you run the setup.exe it should find the audio device and install the driver.  Whether or not that device then works has a lot to do if it's the right driver, but it seems to be.  Google turned up a few references of others editing their INF file with the string yours seems to have.
    Here's the 34200 driver with the above dev & subsys ID edited into it, try that.  At worst if it bluescreens the system just boot to safe mode and get rid of it in add/remove programs.
    http://www.mediafire.com/?dvu1tudnljg
    If it doesn't work I'd begin to wonder if part of the Intel chipset driver isn't installed, or if XP's SP3 is causing the problem but perhaps the above linked MS UAA file will take care of that.
    As for the other drivers in their original form, based on the above DEV & SUBSYS numbers, if 5045 and 103C30D9 are correct, we can rule out the first driver both I and Cheryl linked as not possibly working (unless it's edited) since it lists a different pair of strings: DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30CD & DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30D6
    The second driver I linked in my first post to sp35270 also won't work (again assuming the first DEV & SUBSYS #s above are right for your system), unless edited, because it lists DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30A5
    Same for the original sp34200, it lists DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30B7 & DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30BB, but it seemed as close a match as any so it's the one that was edited and on mediafire.

  • PSE 11 is unusable on a high definition screen such as my Samsung Ativ laptop's 3200 x 1800 resolution.  When will this be solved?

    See heading.

    Just for your information, have a look at that feature request:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/problem_with_hi_res_monitors
    It seems logical to think that Adobe is interested to solve the problem first in Photoshop, then in Elements...
    I would not wait for a quick solution.
    Just out of curiosity, what did you expect from a high definition screen ? Which display size ? Which distance from your eyes ? Is the surrounding lighting adapted for long hours of editing or retouching ? Do you edit on a dual monitor setup ? I am mainly interested in the ergonomy factors.

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • How to get my high definiton footage to show on the DVD as high definition

    I recorded a wedding with Sony High Definition cameras one tape based and the others hard drive based 1080i. I have edited it and when I exported to DVD Studio pro as a quicktime movie and had the settings as current. I burned the disk and played it and it does not look like high defintion at all on my tv. What can I do to get the same quality that shows on the computer?

    When you burned the disk in DVD SP, you downconverted it to Standard Def... Search this form on "Blu-Ray" and you'll find out how to preserve that HD... not easy without FCP 7...
