Exporting HD video for DVDSP

I have footage that i shot in HD. I like to maintain as much quality as i can when burning onto a DVD. I choose HD DVD: h.264 (90 minutes) format in compressor. When importing in DVDSP I get the message incompatible format. Whats the best export setting i can use and not loose as much quality from my video?
The final DVD is going to be a SD DVD, just that i want to preserve as much quality as i can.
Thanks

You need to encode it to m2v not H.264. You can start with one of the 16:9 presets.

  • What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE?  H264?

    I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

    Hello,
    You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet.  H.264 is probably not it.

  • Exporting HD video for web

    What settings should I use to compress a HD video for web?

    It depends a lot on what level of broadband you expect the user to have, and whether the video has to play immediately. There are some natural sizes to use for the video, such as 1280x720, 960x540 or 640x360, and the frame rate ought to be 24, 25, or 30, depending on the source material.
    Making it for medium to good broadband, and with wanting the video to play right away, you could do say 1280x720, 1 megabit per second, H264. It would look reasonably good. If you don't mind people having to download for a little while before the video can play, then take the data rate up to 3 mbps.
    So, one way to look at that would be to use the AppleTV preset from QuickTime Player, then open that mp4 file and save as to mov (just to make your html task easier). It would look very good, but might take a bit of downloading time before it's ready to start playing.

  • Exporting a video for email

    What is the best way to export a video from fce to attach to a email. The video is about 10 min long. I have it in a meg-4 format and it is about 26 mb and I need to get it down to 10mb. Thanks!

    Turn the audio to mono with a low rate and drop out more frames from the video and or reduce the pixel size in the export.
    Not sure if you have already stripped it to the bones but the above will reduce file size.

  • Fotomagico export(share) settings for DVDSP

    Can someone help me determine the best settings to use when exporting a slide show from Fotomagico to achieve the best video quality when importing as an asset to DVDSP? I will then need to render the asset in order to burn the DVD. What settings should I select for the rendering for watching the DVD on a 16:9 tv screen?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bernie

    I'm in the same boat and looking for the best way to at least boost the quality that one would get going from Fotomagico > iDVD. My hope is FCS 2 (using compressor and DVDSP I can boost the overall quality of the whole presentation)
    After spending some time over at Fotomagico's site I realize there is no way to avoid loss of quality if one is to burn a slide show to a DVD no matter what app. one uses or how careful one is while choosing HQ Export settings etc. As I understand it, it is the compression that takes place from the QT Export MPEG4 Movie > Streaming MPEG-2 for DVD conversion where most of the loss happens that gets under peoples skin with the simpler yet more limiting Fotomagico > iDVD route. My hope is to is to figure out a way to at least boost the quality up to a noticeable level with a HQ QT export from FM > DVDSP.
    It seems so far iDVD is my largest limitation when putting a project together like this.
    My research has also enlightened me to understand why iDVD and possibly other pro DVD authoring app's will never come close to a commercially released Hollywood studio DVD due to their extremely expensive and high end hardware and software encoders they use to prepare media and author DVD's. Can anyone summarize at least how close one can come to the commercial Hollywood DVD standard with FCS 2? Or at least tell me if the DVD's created with DVDSP fall somewhere noticeably above the DVD's created by iDVD (when of course, carefully following the best protocol when preparing the media).

  • I need help with exporting 720p video for youtube.

    Hi everyone, I have been using Adobe premeir for almost a year now and I love it, as its very professional and powerful. I used to edit Standard with no problem, then export the full unconverted file (wmv) and run it though Windows Movie Maker to compress it (haha yeah I know its crazy.) Now that I got a camera capable of shooting HDV I want to use it. Im just wondering the following:
    1.What format should I export with in Adobe Media Encoder? (Original Raw footage files from Camera are MOV formatted)
    2.What should I set the Bitrate to?
    3.How do I export to flash without it being to large of a file (Under 200mb's for a 5 minute video) and have it not choppy or pixelated?
    4.How do I speed up exporting, how many passes should I do?
    5.What overall is the best setup for youtube?
    I also noticed a small glitch, and its when I export normally (full size, no compression) and run it though a compressor it cuts out all of the titles, and just flashes them for a milisecond. Its really odd. It only happens when I export in a certain format in which I cannot quite remember. Anyways.. thanks in advance for helping me. Its very appreciated.

  • Can someone export my video for me?

    The Project wont open on my Mac so if someone could try it on theirs and if it works, export one of the sequences for me. Let me know if you want to try
    my email is [email protected]

    For anyone to try what you suggest, they would have to download all your captured video files etc. which would almost certainly amount to many gigabytes.
    This could not be done over the internet.
    It would be more useful if you posted exact details of your project and settings etc. and then someone might be able to spot what you are doing wrong.

  • Need advice/guidance on how to export .FLV videos for my website.

    Can anyone help me?
    I am trying to embbed a .swf/.flv video into my website,
    using dreamweaver and flash cs4. But when i do so, and i load the
    video, the .FLV playback componet wont load or the browser dosent
    even try to load the data at all, it just plays the video. So users
    cant mute, have volum control, pause, stop or anything. Can someone
    please help me? i looked all over the net for 2 days and cant find
    a single turtorial or anything. I know alot of website use .FLV but
    how? and how do you export it?

    You need three parts for the flv playback: the swf, the flv,
    and the video player skin swf. If you create the flv from your
    Flash movie by importing the original video, Flash should make all
    of those parts for you. Upload each of these files to your server
    and the file should play as expected.
    Can you describe in more detail what you are doing that may
    be different?

  • Export 4k video for Facebook native video?

    Hi All,
    I am trying to export a 4k video to upload on facebook for its native video player.
    I have converted to mp4 the best suggested format but a crackling sound comes with it.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

    Whether a 3.5mm "mini" jack or the older, larger 1/4" "phone" jack, the plug or "jack" can be either mono or stereo. A mono jack has a single "main" post for the sound signal, with an insulator near the end and a second bit of isolated metal for the tip as the "ground". A stereo jack has two sections in the "main" part, with a thin insulator between them, and the insulated tip ground.
    The socket the plug fits in can also be either stereo or mono. A mono socket will have only one post touching the main stem of the plug for signal, and a second post touching the tip for the ground. A stereo plug will have two posts touching the stem, one to receive left channel signals, one to receive right channel, and of course a third for the ground.
    If you look at the parts, you'll see that a standard mono plug will deliver signal to both left & right posts of the standard stereo socket. Most mono mics are wired this way. These you'll probably never need think about.
    The situation you're dealing with is that your mic is mono but uses a stereo jack, and is only wired to deliver to one channel ... which can be both useful and a total pain, depending on how well you're set up to utilize the options this can provide. Depending on adapters & cords, you can change this to deliver the same signal to both L & R, or you can use this mic and another one to deliver separate mics one to the left channel & another to the right channel, effectively giving you a second input on the one "channel".
    But what bits do you need?
    A stereo to mono adapter plug would take your current plug in one end, take the signals from "both" channels, combine & deliver that to a mono plug on the output end ... plug you mic into this, plug it into your recorder, and instantly your mic is being input into both channels of your recorder as this sort of adapter has a mono plug on it's output end. This is probably the simplest part to get you up & running now. Any local shop that sells electronic bits & pieces, like a shop for guitars & such, will have these in-stock and they're cheap.
    I also just got a couple mics that are mono but use a stereo jack with one channel "dark" ...dead ... unused. I'll be getting some adapters myself, probably just gaffer tape the things together.

  • Exporting HD video for use on AppleTV and iPod

    I use a Canon HV30 HD camcorder. Work in FCE. Also have QTPro. I typically export from FCE as a pure .MOV file, then do my conversions to other formats in QTPro.
    To get good quality on my Apple TV, I use QTPro to export to Apple TV. But then that video won't transfer to my iPod Touch, so I have to do another export with QTPro with iPod as my target.
    Is there a happy medium that will show good results on the AppleTV and iPod? Obviously this can be done with standard def video because iTunes videos look fine on both. I think the HD is what's getting me.
    Thanks.

    I would also like to have this question answered...
    Additionally,
    Is there a way to combine the SD and HD files similar to when you download a movie from itunes how there is one file entry in iTunes for both the SD and HD version. Also I noticed movies and TV you download from iTunes can transfer to your Ipod (even though they are over the ipod specs 320x240). Is there a way to export videos larger than 320x240 and can transfer to the Ipod.
    Thank you in advance...

  • How do I export a video for posting in Facebook?

    I'm using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows PC. My videos look just awful uploaded to Facebook. Shot in 1920x1080 29.97, looks great in PP, really bad in Facebook
    When I upload a video into Facebook it gets so badly compressed, it looks like I shot it on a cell phone from a decade ago. Are there export settings that I need to set? I don't see a preset for Facebook. I tried H.264 YouTube settings for HD, but I think Facebook is recompressing the file. What do you use to export for Facebook? I'm using  a Canon XF300 HD camera - it does a great job, but Facebook postings are awful. Help!

    Reason: Title was too long and not searchable

    I just did a batch of 1920x1080 clips for FaceBook last week and got excellent results using the "Vimeo" 1080p preset for H.264. Just be sure that when viewing on Facebook to hit the HD button or it will look nasty using default viewing mode. In HD, I was able to change to full-screen mode on my 24" PC display and it looked amazing.

  • What is best export in FCP for DVDSP?

    hello,
    i am just looking for the optimum settings for a one hour movie to take into DVDSP from FCP?
    i have been using an MPEG2 export setting with 6.8 bit rate from FCP then taking that file directly into DVDSP and burning...results are pretty good but text looks to flicker a bit at times...
    is this the correct method? or is a QT source file best?
    thanks,
    steven

    A maximum bit rate of 6.8 together with dolby2/AC3 audio works well for that length movie.
    Text flickers could be attributable to just about anything including choosing the wrong font and font size.
    And if you are working in NTSC DV footage, you also may have issues with that.

  • Exporting the video for a DVD

    When I finish editing my video, how can I export it to a DVD, in a format compatible with every computer or DVD player, instead of making just a quicktime movie?

    The DVD authoring application converts it into a format used by DVD players. North American DVD players are in a different standard from the rest of the world and are not compatible with DVDs created in Europe and elsewhere.

  • Exporting HD video for viewing on SD TV

    I have a Panasonic SD9 HD camcorder. I have a standard def widescreen & 4:3 PAL TV.
    When I edit & export the movie & burn to DVD, the Widescreen SD TV does not show the video in very good quality.
    I have recorded in full 1080 but the best results are when I record at 1440x1080 rather than full 1990x1080.
    I have found the best export settings to be using:
    H.264
    Best quality
    Key fram every 24 frames (whatever that means !)
    Frame re-ordering is ticked
    Encoding multi-pass
    The screen size is set to PAL 720 x 576 16:9
    I preserve the aspect ratio.
    Is there a better way to do this to get decent results on a std TV ?
    I previously used a miniDV video and the output was fine - much better than what I am using now !

    You should NOT be using QuickTime CONVERSION.
    Select File>Export>QuickTime MOVIE
    Deselect the "Make Movie Self-contained" box (incredibly faster) and click Save. (Do not alter anything else ..... except of course where you want to save it).
    Drag the created file to iDVD etc. and burn.

  • What settings for exporting 1080p videos for Youtube recorded from FRAPS?

    Hello,
    I've tried a custom setting of mine which took an hour or so to render but came out blurry:
    Video:
    H264
    1920 x 1080
    Bitrate: 15
    VBR, 1 PASS
    29.97 FPS
    PAL
    And audio is just on default with 160 bitrate.
    The quality from FRAPS is perfect but as said before when inported in Premiere and then rendered its outputted blurry and jumpy.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
