FCP 7 upgrade. awkward dimension in iDVD/QTime file

Hi there, we just upgraded to FC7 and everything works fine...but.... when exporting the movie to QT , the aspect ratio of the movie is modified to a different aspect ratio and when using iDVD for making the final movie it looks stretched with 2 gary vertical lines on each side....we just surfed all the possible settings in FC and nothing looks to work....thanks in advance for your support

Hey guys..i did my research in other similar problems and actually we previously opened the QT file in QT and resized the file BUT now there is no solution like this any more since we upgrade to FC7 and snow leopard .....help....

  • Fcp 4.5 sequence to idvd

    i've had trouble lately in trying to create a DVD from a FCP 4.5 sequence to idvd 4.
    after exporting, first i do not get any sound and 2, it seems that only a small bit of the sequence keeps playing, over and over.
    i have been exporting to quicktime, and have tried making movie both contained and also not checking make movie self-contained.
    i've been saving to my firewire drive, and then dragging to idvd.
    can anyone kindly tell me the proper procedure, the steps i should be taking?
    as always, thanks kindly for your help and all the best

    Hello,
    Dragging files only makes video in the menu. To get movies that play as a DVD you must import a quicktime movie.
    in iDVD (File-Import-Video)
    in FCP (File- Export- Quicktime Movie)
    In FCP ensure the following settings;
    Setting - Current
    Include - Audio and Video
    Marker - Chapter Markers (if you used them!)
    Hope It Helps,
    Katie.

  • Files/Clips from old iDVD image files

    I am an underwater photographer and I have a number of older projects that I created in FCP/iDVD. I have the iDVD image files, but not the original MOV files, as they were huge and were deleted to save space.
    I would like to create a compilation DVD that has all of the old disks combined into one.
    Any way to extract the clips from the image files and drop them into a new project. They are already rendered to the the DVD format.
    Thanks in advance, David

    Frank's reply is correct but a little lacking in detail!
    You will need to re-edit the files in iMovie in order to make it one single project.
    You first need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • FCP Chapter Marker Limit for iDVD (muxing error)?

    I'm attempting to create disc images in iDVD 7.0.3 for a 2 DVD set created in FCP 4.5. I've exported QT movies with chapter markers for both of my Disc A and Disc B projects. Disc A (1 hr 56 min and 16 chapters) writes just fine to disc image but Disc B (1 hr 40 min and 32 chapters) has given me fits for days, continually leading to "Muxing preparation (project conversion) error". I've tried a number of attempts at fixes per the forums to no avail (checking the placement of my chapter markers, avoiding special characters in marker names, etc.) I've even tried killing the "Scene Selection" menu. Is there a chapter marker limit in iDVD then? Have I really exceeded this with 32? I ask this for my latest test this morning in which I split the Disc B project into two (evenly splitting the content as well as # of chapters between test B-1 and B-2 projects) led to successful creation of disc images for both. However, I want to put the two back together again. Please help. Thank you.

    Yes, I've heard that you should have either 15GB or 25GB free on your internal boot drive. I have 17GB available. Incidentally, my iDVD project files and disc images are being written to other drives attached to my system. I don't think this is the issue though since I've been operating in this environment for some time and have mastered a 2-DVD set a couple of months ago (2 hours on each disc) with no issues. I have even created another disc image of my 2 hour Disc A (to fix some editorial changes) with no issues. It's when it comes time to burn a DVD or write a disc image of my Disc B when it becomes an issue. Specifically, did you get the "there was an error during muxing preparation project conversion" error message then? Thanks.

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
    Hope this helps.

  • Parser dimension ACCOUNT's xml file error.

    Hi friends,
    i manully uploading master data in ACCOUNT dimension.
    what i did here, i manually added PARENTH1hierarchy and i changed that column position infront of "ACCTYPE" property. While pasting i might paste on ACCTYPE property & processed ACCOUNT dim.So it gone and disturbed underlying XML file. I checked 3 files XLS,XLT and XML files in UJFS. But XLS & XLT doesn't have ACCTYPE property. So how can i put it back? Any suggestions pls.
    Eventhough ACCTYPE dim property defined and existed(under maintain dim property of ACCOUNT dim). when i try to check maintain members data for manually entering data, it not available in columns. when i try to process ACCOUT dim, system saying below error message. 
    Parser dimension ACCOUNT's xml file error.
    How to correct this error.?
    Thanks,
    Naresh
    Edited by: Naresh P on Jan 13, 2011 7:20 AM

    Hi,
    It will be better to delete the XML file from UJFS and process your dimension once again. However, it might happen that you are still unable to edit the membersheet. In that case, it will be advisable to take a backup of the member sheet and recreate the same member sheet once again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Moving a parent in a Dimension using a rules file

    I would like too move a parent in one of my dimensions to the bottom of that Dimension using a rule file
    Please advise

    I have a confusion over here. For instance:
    If I have Margin (parent) Sales (child) and COGS (child) defined in the data source in that order, than how will I change it to sales, cogs and than margin in the data source.
    Parent child build method has the following statndard format, if i am not wrong:
    PARENT (say accounts) DIMENSION NAME (code say A10001) ALIAS (Margin) AGGREGATION (+) and DATA STORAGE (The code for store)
    Thanks in advance

  • IDvd dv. files

  • Can I export my FCP X project directly into iDVD?

    I have not yet purchased FCP X, but before I do, I want to make sure that I can import my FCP X project directly into iDVD along with chapter markers.  Thank you for your help. 

    Yeah it's pretty straightforward- just a lot of export presets and you get a lot more than DVD making codecs. That said, if you want to just add chapters to a track you can always try something like this: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060119212015646

    Shane is right if it's an xml exported from finalcutpro but there are many other kinds/uses for xml, most of which will not import into fcp.

  • Import from iDVD image file

    I was looking through some of my old iDVD images and accidentally left one of them mounted. I opened iMovie 08 and it instantly recognized the DVD as a Camcorder and gave me a thumbnail of each Chapter and gave me the option to import it into iMovie for editing. I manually chose the chapters I wanted it to import and things were really smooth sailing. Once it was imported I noticed that it didn't include any of the audio tracks. Is there a way to fix this? My current work-around is to convert the .VOB files to an editable format using VisualHub and then import it into iMovie but this is very time consuming. I am assuming that Apple meant to include the import of unprotected DVD's into iMovie otherwise it wouldn't have prompted me to do an import. I haven't tested it with any other iDVD image files yet to see if my problem is isolated but I will report back with my success/failure when I have a chance to test it out. Just thought I would see if anyone else is having this issue.
    UPDATE: I just ran across this thread that looks related but it deals mainly with camcorders and not iDVD Imports. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075399&tstart=30

    Ian:
    Thanks for the response. I'll look at the Ans 1 tutorial. As for Ans 2, I did choose the new location and I believe Lightroom IGNORED THE SETTING. I say "believe" because I must confess that I did not rename anything in the blue box as outlined and that may be my problem. But I did select the parent folder I wanted the images moved to. (I did not note this in the help question because I couldn't recall or even review the steps I used without repeating the entire Import procedure again.) Fortunately, your post jogged my memory on those details.
    This interface and the need to learn how Lightroom does some things is why I complained about the less-then-perfect functionality in my post. Adobe's use of the non-standard navigation interface was a very bad decision, and it leads to much confusion when using Lightroom. The Lightroom design team should have stuck with the OS X navigation interface -- because they did not improve upon it.
    Adobe has a long way to go to make Lightroom into the useful product it should have been for a version 1.0 release. It has enormous potential, but for now, it remains too slow and has too many interface quirks and functionality issues to be a reliable tool.

  • Using iDVD project file after deleting original iMovieHD

    I've been using iMovieHD and iDVD to convert my home movies from miniDV tapes to DVDs. I've been putting two one-hour tapes together into one iMovie and then creating an iDVD project with themes, chapters, etc.
    Each two-hour iMovie file takes up >20 GB. Before I burned my DVD, the iDVD project file took up only a few MB. After I burned the DVD, the file size grew to >4 GB, so I figured (erroneously, it seems) that this new file package contained all of the information needed to keep burning DVDs. Threfore, I deleted the original massive iMovie file and kept only the iDVD project file.
    Now every time I try to load the iDVD file, the program lists all the missing files and, other than my themes and chapter titles, there is nothing left of the original project.
    Am I missing something here? What's taking up all that space (4 GB)? Am I completely screwed? Is the only way to make new copies of my project to copy the DVD that I made?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jay,
    As John has said, you should have created a Disc Image of your DVD project before deleting the iMovie file. When working in iMovie/iDVD you must not delete ANYTHING that is in the project, not even the iMovie trash can, which often mysteriously fills up with "stuff", until you are sure you are finished editing and then have saved a Disc Image to burn further DVD's from. The files you deleted from iMovie were the reference for the file you were using in iDVD. Without that iMovie file, your iDVD project will only show what was created there, like your theme page.
    Sorry that's bad news. Your options now are re-create your iMovies from your tapes, OR, rip the DVD you have back to your Mac to burn more DVD's.
