Finalized Video for TV??

I have finalized my video project and burned it to DVD.  It plays on my computer but NOT on my TV.
How do I finalize/convert it for TV playback?
(the message on my TV says it is not a compatible DVD
Thanks

I'm assuming you don't have iDVD installed on your computer, so you will need to use an alternate DVD-burning software.
Please go to the following link and download BURN, its a free disc burning software that allows for burning Video DVDs. Make sure to download the 64-bit version. After you are finished downloading the software, open the .zip file and install the software within, by dragging and dropping the BURN icon into your APPLICATIONS folder.
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
After you are done installing, launch the application and click on the VIDEO tab. Make sure to select DVD-VIDEO in the pull-down list.
Drag and drop the video file you want to burn into the application. You should get a message like this...
... select CONVERT. It may ask you to select a folder in which to save the converted file. Select any location you want.
When that is done, just click the BURN button located at the bottom, a pop-up window will show up asking you to insert a blank DVD. Insert a blank DVD and then click BURN. Wait for the burn to complete and that's it... You now have a VIDEO-DVD that can be played in a commercial DVD-Player.

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.

  • Help in setting up video for final cut pro 7

    my objective is to create a stop motion video for weddings and
    the dimensions are 1440 x 1080. this corresponds to the 640 x 480 ntsc video which
    can be played via the regular projectors.
    my question is
    when i import jpg images into the sequence, it all gets squished black spaces on top and bottom
    how do i solve this?

    ponggo wrote:
    jpgs i used are 1440 x 1080.
    Yes but what pixel aspect ratio? square? Where do they come from? If both (sequence & image) were the same size you should not see any letterboxing. Try to open one of the images from the timeline in the viewer, then select the motion tab and check what it says under "Aspect Ratio".
    ponggo wrote:
    the pixel aspect ratio that i used is also hdv 1440 x 1080.
    which is basically close to a squire 4:3
    i know normal hd's are 1920 x 1080 (16:9) but i wanted the video not only internet ready but also projector ready
    and most projectors are only 4:3 (ntsc on our side)
    Both, 1440 x 1080 and 1920 x 1080 have the exact same frame size and it is 16:9. Only that one uses anamorphic pixels and the other square pixels

  • Is there a way to "center" video for DVD distribution?

    This may be a long story so hear me out...
    For the past year or so, after every great sports win by my alma mater Michigan State University I make a highlight video for web distribution. My workflow for doing so goes like this:
    1. Record straight to DVD from Tivo or live TV using Panasonic ES10 recorder
    2. Extract clips using Cinematize (uncompressed full quality setting, automatic adjustment 640x480)
    3. Import clips into Final Cut Pro and edit
    4. Export full quality uncompressed Quicktime
    5. Export H.264 for web viewing
    Well this work has found the attention of someone in the East Lansing (where MSU is) city council. They would like me to throw together a short little video to be played at bars in East Lansing after the MSU mens basketball tournament games.
    I have done a few tests simply taking the uncompressed Final Cut exports and making a DVD in iDVD out of them. The results, while OK, aren't the best. I'm thinking there isn't much I can do there because I'm not working with the best source material (going through a number of compressions - Tivo, DVD recorder, iDVD, etc).
    But one thing I did notice though is my fancy iDVD created menu looked pretty slick with the video scaled down. The video was crisp and clear.
    Is there a way to scale my video down so that it doesn't play full screen? Almost doing a 4-sided letterbox. I'm envisioning the video scaled down, centered on the TV.

    Yes, I think I understand what you want to do...
    You can scale the video down or up to pretty much any size you would want to use;
    When your video is in the timeline, double click it, and it will open in one of the video preview windows (I belive its called the "viewer" window), for me on my dual screen, its the one on the left;
    A few tabs will appear at the top of the the Viewer window, Video, Filters and Motion; Click on the motion Tab...
    When there the video will disappear a time line where keyframes live will appear, since you have not used key frames in this clip for motion, there will not be any there;
    You will see to the left of this a few pull downs, Basic Motion, Crop, Distort, Opacity, Drop Shadow and Time Remap;
    When you have the basic Motion twisty selected, you will see, Scale, Rotation, Center and Anchor Point;
    The one your interested in for what I belive you wan to do is Scale. You can click in the box that defaults to 100 (meaning 100 percent) and change this to anything you want.
    By changing it this once it will make the entire clip play at that new scale. You can get creative and keyframe it over time using the little diamond shape button with the right and left arrow on each side. You can add a key frame at any point int he time line; and it will scale (in this case) to each setting you have set a key for. It interpolates the scale at each point in the time line when you set different scales etc... you can fiddle with this and get some good ideas for other projects if you want;
    For what I belive you asked for, no key frame is required as you want it to start and finish att he same reduced scale.
    I trust this helps you out, and hopefully I read your question correctly;
    p.s. if you leave the Center at 0, and 0 it will be centred, but its important to note you can use that to chance the position of the video in the video frame, again not needed for your request - but handy to know....

  • 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.

  • Creating video for web

    Hi,
    I'm currently putting together some videos in FCP for our new website. I've used FCP a lot for creating video for DVD's and exporting to .mov but converting to flash is relatively new to me.
    I am using the On2 Flix FLV exporter to export direct from FCP to a 704 x 396 flv file.
    Can someone clarify how I should set up my sequence in FCP to get the best quality results? All the source material is DV PAL for video (720 x 576 anamorphic) and PNG-24 for still images (in this case a background which I will input text over in FCP). Should I be setting all my sequences to 704 x 396, and what pixel aspect ratio should I use seeing as it is for flash/web use?
    Also, in the Sequence Settings dialog box what should I set as the Compressor settings (dv pal/h.264 etc) as flv does not appear as an option?
    Thanks
    Jack

    Thanks guys. So if I am to carry on working in the standard DV-Pal sequence I'm wondering what to do when importing graphics. I have been given a psd which contains a title screen that will be placed before each video. The psd has been given to me at 704 x 396 - the size of the final delivered FLV rather than the DV Pal sequence. When I bring this image into FCP and render it makes the image look pixelated/blocky (I'm exporting from Photoshop as a PNG-24). What is the proper way to export graphics for use in Final Cut? Should I re-size the image to match the sequence or bring it in at 704x396 and have Final Cut resize it?
    Thanks
    Jack

  • Horrible final video quality in After Effects CS6 when rendering a 1920x1080 video with H.264 format

    I've been using After Effects CS6 on my Macbook Pro for over a year now with no issues. However, today when I exported a video to be rendered in 1920x1080p with H.264 format, I got the worst quality final video I've ever seen. I filmed my video files in 1920x1080p (like usual), and I clicked all the same buttons I normally do to export a video, but every HQ video I try to export looks horrible. I haven't clicked any crazy buttons or anything out of the ordinary.
    I always export a video following this sequence:
    File > Export > Add to Render Queue > Lossless > H.264 (quality format) > video output (make sure it's checked) > audio output (make sure it's checked) > OK > Output to Desktop
    My render settings are always set as "best settings" including "full" resolution and "best" quality.
    Now, when I click H.264, a "settings mismatch" pops up and says:
    "Warning: Output file will be resized from 1920x1080 (1.00 PAR) to 320x1080 (6.00 PAR) to meet format constraints"
    The rendering quality and playback quality within After Effects is great, but once the video is exported, it is horrible.
    PLEASE HELP?! I have deadlines I need to meet!

    Use the H.264 encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder.
    The H.264 export features in After Effects have been removed in later versions because of numerous problems.

  • Need help with rendering my files..."preparing video for display."

    I don't know if I sent something to the trash folder from Final Cut, but for some reason all of my files in the timeline are unrendered, and every time I render them a message appears saying that it is "preparing video for display," and then they are unrendered again. What is this? Did I send something to the trash folder that keeps doing this? Is it a settings mode? Does it have to do with the space on my drives?

    I'm having the same problems.
    A friend of mine told me to trash the render files and re-render my whole project. He finds it some times gets rid of some of the glitches when you render along the way in steps.
    I trashed the render files and of course the project says I need to re-render which I do. I can save the project, close it, and when it opens I get the "preparing video for display". Once that's done it has nothing rendered at all.
    So I re-render, and its fine. I tab to another window and then back and it gives me the same message, completes and all my stuff is un-rendered.
    So now I have a project that every time I render it can't save it or somehow it deletes the render files if I tab out of the program.

  • Preparing video for Flash

    I have some video that I have prepared to play in Flash on a website, but I am having mucho problems getting Flash to recognize the files I want to play. I am using the Final Cut Studio - FCP to prep, and Compressor to encode. I must be doing something wrong encoding or preparing the video for Flash. I'd use Adobe Encoder, but it doesn't compress anywhere close to the efficiency necessary, so I'm trying to properly perpare them in Compressor.
    Any suggestions/tips?

    I was using Compressor for all my encoding, but I finally just gave up on that and used the Adobe Media Encoder. I admit, it works better than I gave it credit for. So everything works fine now, but I'm a little surprised that Flash doesn't readily ingest codecs from Compressor. Encoder works fine, but Compressor defintely gives you a better 'bang for the buck' IRT quality vs. file size.
    Thanks for the help.

  • "Preparing video for display" ****!! Project get's stuck before opening completely

    I've been working in this project for almost two years. Now, I'm doing the subtitles in Final cut from Spanish to English for almost two months now, almost half way through the movie so I get a lot of renders done everyday. Since last Week my projects get stuck at "Preparing video for display". I usually go to the Autosave Vault, for some reason one of the project open, and I start working again from the hour or two of work I lost. But, whenever the projects get's to Autorender, the same message displays again, and the damned beachball appears and all goes to ****. I can't get anywork done, I've lost a lot of hours worth of work and I'm facing a deadline. I've tried trashing the preferences, but nothing. So before I drive my car into a tree i wanted to at least submit the question, to you.
    Clues:
    FCPR0 6.05
    MACBOOK PRO WITH 4GB MEMOMRY
    LION BUT RUNNING ON IT WITH SNOWLEOPARD ROSETTA.
    Best to all of you.

    My guts are saying that you've a bit of an unstable installation going on, causing the instability... the fix is to perform a clean install and try working with that. You can build a new startup disk on a firewire drive or on another internal drive or partition, leaving your current startup disk alone... safest way to test this hypothesis... I'd also not install Lion if you're going to run FCP 6. Best setup for FCP 6 is likely Leopard or Snow Leopard. In reality it can be argued that the version of FCP that you are running will run the best on the OS it was written for in the first place.  Which, for FCP 6, is likely 10.5.x.
    Here's a list of what is known to be a stable setup with every version of FCP: http://www.digitalrebellion.net/blog/posts/recommended_quicktime_and_mac_os_conf igurations_for_final_cut_pro.html

  • 'Preparing Video for Display' causing render problems

    I have a DV-Pal sequence, with a few crops, burn effects and transition, so I've got a lock and render everything, but every time I do about 3 mins later a dialogue box pops up stating 'Preparing Video for Display' with a little percentage bar. Once it's 'Prepared Video for Display' (whatever that means??) all my rendered effects revert back to an unrendered state.
    Has this happened to anyone else and how can I stop it?
    Much Thanks, Matt

    Quit Final Cut Pro. Go to your Render Files folder and trash the contents of the sub-folder there that has the same name as your project.
    Next step:
    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up. If you have further problems, the backup can be recalled and you can continue working.
    Re-open your project and render again.

  • Exporting Low resolution 320 X 240 videos for my website

    I am mystified by Premiere Elements 11. I want to create a 2..5 min video (e.g. mp4)  that is 320 X 240 with bitrate set low enough to keep the file size under 20megs. There is NO options in the pubish drop down to adjust the final dimensions of the video, the bitrate etc. All options regarding these are greyed out (I picked the mpeg format). I can't get a video in ANY format  that conforms to the desired dimensions and size;    I have no good options to adjust the quality of the video to make it good enough for the website and not gigantic. I have used Ctberlink PowerDirector 11 recently and those options are readily available in that application.
    Most of my videos are going to be for the web. The way premiere elements 11 works now, it's going ot be useless for my purpose.
    Am I missing some way to accomplish my objective, or is the program pretty limited in the ability to customize the outputted video?
    Thanks. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Chick

    As I show you in my books, it's easy to output custom videos for your web site. You say want an MP4?
    Go to Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD. Select the the Preset for Vimeo SD.
    Then click the Advanced button. On the Export Settings screen that opens, go to the Video tab. Set the output size to 320x240, then click OK.
    You'll be prompted to save this as a "permanent" preset so you can use it again. Type in a name like "Web site video" and you're done.

  • Field problem with final video. Help please.

    Hey all,
    Thanks for reading. I working with Premiere 2, AE cs4 and Encore 2.0. I'm rendering out of AE with No Fields Progressive (it what look best on my Sony Tritron which I'm using for a monitor), same story when I export out of Premiere as mpeg2. All is well until I get to Encore and the final video is not the crystal clear piece I been working on. I also tried quicktime files and same thing happened. Any ideas because Im baffle. Thanks again.

    This forum is restricted to forum issues, not product issues. Please re-ask either in the Encore, AE or Premiere forums.
