Fitting multiple videos onto one disk

I have have 15 videos from a conference (each aprox 1hr in length) and I was wondering if somebody knew of a compression format that would compress the videos using compressor into a format that DVD SP would recognize, with the whole video/audio files being around about 200-300 MB each so that they could all fit on one DVD. quality is not the concern here, I only need DVD SP to recognize the format. I have tried H.264 because I seem to have maximum control over bit-rate with the H.264 codec, however DVD SP does not recognize the H.264 files (at least not with the compression settings I set in compressor). iDvd recognizes the same H.264 files, but I want to use DVD SP not iDvd. The DVD presets in Compressor just don't seem to get the files small enough, so I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions...
Many thanks
Nick

15 hours???
You will need to use MPEG1, or half D1 MPEG2 at the very minimum (or your max bitrate would have to be no more than 1Mbps), you'll need a dual layer disc and then compress your audio to AC3 at 192kbps. Then, and only then, could you get close to 15 hours on a single disc.
Unless you use a double sided dual layer disc (a DVD18) if you can find one to burn to. In this case, you can raise the bitrate to a whopping 2mbps.
If you use MPEG1 then your video bitrate will naturally be in the order of 1Mbps, and you will know from watching MPEG1 footage that the quality is low. Using Half D1 means you can use MPEG2, and your bitrate can be low (as you are losing half the horizontal resolution) and still maintain some quality. In my opinion, Half D1 gives a better result than MPEG1, but it is subjective.
I believe that you can raise the encoding rate on half d1 to about 2mbps on a DVD-9 to get 900 minutes on the disc, but you'll need to do some bit budgeting to be sure.
It's a big ask, whichever route you follow, and as Shawn said, almost certainly going to look very low quality.

Controlling multiple videos with one set of controls

I'm currently working on a project that allows the user to view multiple videos at one time. The videos will be exactly the same length and video format/type. I'd like to let the user use just one set of controls to view each video. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have any code samples?
I also want the video to not start when the application starts. I've got that done, but I'd also like the first panel of the video to be displayed. How can I do that?
Thanks!

PS, I'd also prefer for the controls to be detatched from any of the viewers, if possible. Thanks!

I need an idea how to place multiple videos on one page

Multiple videos on one page in Muse neded for a video portfolio..
Anyone got a great idea how this can be done please. (or direct me to a tutorial link - doing one is all I can find)
I am happy with either embedded or Menu linked on objects to videos.
Youtube is hosting the videos
I just cant find any way to put hyperlinks or urls in objects and I can not find a way to make small video players in Muse.
If I scale the container ..things go very weird. eg the video goes tiny and into a corner.
I feel like I am working with half a tool box!!!
I cant even find a template where this has been done.
Any help is appreciated. Thanx.

That works perfectly thank you.
Now I am wondering if I can have a single "viewer" that will play any selected video from a button , a menu or other trigger?
Info for others if required. : The You tube ID required in the widget setting is not the URL. Its an alpha/numeric obtained from part of the YT embedding code.
example - the bold underlined section

Printing multiple photos onto one page

Sorry, fairly new to PSE9!
Have a group of photos I need to print to actual size (3cm x 4cm) to go into a photo frame. They are all cropped and ready to go but there doesn't seem to be an option to print multiple images onto one page at a custom size? A contact sheet only gives me the option for the number of columns and picture package doesn't give any such option either as far as I can see! I'm sure I must be missing something here!
Any help much appreciated! Don't want to waste photo paper printing each small photo individually!

How to fit long video onto disk

I understand to use the 150 min setting to get a long video compressed and onto disk in DVD Studio Pro. However, what settings do I use in Compressor to fit a video of say 170 minutes in length onto a DVD?

Get a DVD-R recorder and play directly to disk using the 6 hour setting. This uses a hardware encoder to do the compression and will potentially look better than what Compressor can get you.
The real question is why not do this with multiple disks. NO ONE can sit through 6 hours of video without stopping.

Multiple DVDs onto one DL disc??

I have several movies I have extracted into VIDEO_TS folders. What I want to do is create one DL DVD with all of them, menus and everything intact.
For instance, make it so that when I put the DVD in, I can chose which movie, and it will be completely intact.

What I want to do is create one DL DVD with all of them, menus and everything intact.
To late to edit the above reply so i'll add this here ....
You may also want to look into Roxio Toast 9 (Ref. Page 114 below) as well since it will allow you to compile a variety of Video_TS folders into one DvD. I believe that includes both SL and DL Dvd's.
Making a VIDEO_TS Compilation
You can create a DVD by compiling multiple DVD-Video VIDEO_TS
folders onto one disc and play it on a set-top DVD player or in a Macintosh
or Windows computer with a DVD player.
Some VIDEO_TS folders may be too large to fit on a standard recordable
4.7 GB DVD. Toast can compress this video to fit on a standard DVD, or if
your recorder supports dual-layer recordable DVDs, you can create a dual-
layer DVD-Video from this folder.
This is the best choice if you have multiple VIDEO_TS folders that you
want to compress on one DVD-Video disc.

Fit the video to dvd disk

I have a problem with video quality.
I edit in premiere and when i try to export the video, via media encoder, to encore
I can't adjust the quality.
In media encoder i use this setting
mpeg2- DVD,
preset: match source attributes
      quality: 5
      tv standard:   automatic
             frame rate:   automatic
             field order:    automatic
             pixel aspect ratio: automatic
            bitrate enconding VBR, 2 PASS
            minimum Bitarate      4
            target bitrate              7
           maximum bitrate        9
I transcode 46 minutes real video (all the sequence from premiere) and
in the end I take a 46 minutes video in 2,27GBs file size.
When I transcode 87 minutes real video (all the sequence from premiere)
I take only 2,77 MBs.
Thus I think that I can't adjust the final file size which determine the burning space
on DVD and I have always free space.
How can I adjust the transcoding to achieve (depending from the video duration every time)
the maximum video quality in Dvd?
Any idea?

Super, unique, perfect, things are usually simple,
I tried dynamik link, i have made three new tests and it works,
dependig of the length of the video data increase or decrease, in order
to fit in the disk.
Know 46min SD video is equal with 2,93 GBs instead of media encoder
which 46 minutes SD video is encoded to 2,27 GBs.
Also one hour SD video and 88 minutes SD video fits well in the DVD Disk
changing automatic the data rate.
Tomorrow i 'll test video quality on 37'' television set but I think everthing will going
well.
What can I say Jim, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.......................................

Multiple videos on one page

so i have created a website (which i haven't posted yet) in iweb- my question concerns video on iweb. on one page i have 5 videos that range from 20MB to 60MB, i would like these videos to download without a lot of wait time. curious what the wait time for this page would be? and also, would it be better to create a picture and then a hyperlink to each video? would that be faster? would preferably like to have multiple videos play on the page rather than hyperlinking to another page, but from what i've read, it sounds like it takes a while to download a page like that. also, i am not going to use mobileme, most likely godaddy.
thank you.

I just learned from toad yesterday...and I was where you were. I was afraid to try the code thing. But I kept pushing till I figured it out.
I also publish with GoDaddy. They are very Mac friendly.
My suggestion is that you upload your video file to Godaddy first. I used Cyberduck (free). When you get Cyberduck up and your file uploaded to the server, look (navigate) on the Cyberduck interface to the video file you have created the button for.
Then, go to "Get Info" in the pulldown menu. You will see the URL that GoDaddy has assigned to the video (basically the Directory/Path).
This is the info you want to put in the code part on iWeb where (in red) you replace the template text.
To help you understand what Toad has published in red:
1. the first red is where the URL path from the Cyberduck info goes.
2. the second reds are the size of the Video you want to display. I find that 640x480 works very well.
3. the last red is what your button will say: replace with "Click to Play"
BIG HINT: Get Quicktime Pro. That interface will allow you to save your vide as a "Fast Start" video for uploading. I think this is Apple's equivalent of Flash.
Once you get your stuff in place you will probably have to have a few phone sessions with Tech support at GDaddy. They can spot your mistakes and help get you up.
Good Luck. This was all new to me and very intimidating - but 48 hours later I was able to have it all working.
I even got it working on Network Solutions - but it was much more of a headache.
For large video files, though, NetSol will let you put your videos on a Streaming Server for faster and more reliable service. Problem is that server only works with RealMedia and Windows Media Player...and who wants to convert all their QT files.

Multiple videos in one screen

Hey Adobe people,
This is my first post here and I am really new to the whole Adobe Suit software as a student.
I am having a bit of a problem in AE to put 5 seperate videos in one frame. To explain the video;
We have a promotional video for a project, were me and 4 other guys walk(seperately filmed)towards the camera.
The issue that I am experiencing is how I am able to crop the videos to make it a fit.
Is there a tool in AE what I am missing or not seeing.
Thanks in advance

In After Effects, this is referred to as Masking. You create and/or draw masks to eliminate segments of footage.
I strongly reccomend starting with the basics of AE. You'll save a lot of time in the long run.

How do you add multiple videos to one single timeline in encore cs6

I would either put each video on its own timeline or use Premiere to edit them together. Often adding more than one video to a timeline in Encore does not work.

Merging multiple records onto one page

I have two questions for successfully setting up a mail merge:
1. I have a .csv file that contains multiple records. All but one column contains one line of text. I have one column in the record that contains several paragraphs of text.
Problem: The merge sees the paragraph returns (or line breaks) as an indicator to go to the next record. What's the work-around for this?
2. I need the records to flow one after another.
Problem: It's merging one record per page.
Background that may help (maybe merge is not the feature I should be using):
I'm designing a newspaper that contains about 150 book reviews. The reviews stem from a database that I'm exporting as a csv. Rather than converting/formatting the reviews from the database by hand (like I have been doing), I thought InDesign must have some automated way of handling this.
This is an example of what one record looks like:
Italian For Beginners
By Kristen Hammel
Random House, $12.95, 53 pages
Don’t be fooled by the //Italian for Beginners// cover photo of an Audrey Hepburn look-alike on the back on an Italian motorcycle with her arms around a handsome man. This novel is stronger and meatier than another “American falls in love in Italy” love story. Yes, the protagonist Cat Connelly escapes to Italy to find herself after tiring of being the center of everyone’s dismay as an unmarried 34-year-old overly-responsible sister, daughter, and granddaughter.
And yes, there is romance, but it comes with a twist. The best part of the novel is watching Cat shed her carefully constructed identity and past. Harmel’s character discovers an authentic Rome from a family, insider’s perspective. The Italizan zest for life and her own connection to Italy allows her to throw off her accountant-style persona and take risks. As Cat examines her deep-seated fears and biases, she also discovers those things that give her true peace, joy and satisfaction.
Will Cat fall in love with a handsome Italian? Or will she fall in love with her own long-suppressed Italian heritage and natural gifts? Read the novel to find out, and you’ll also find a bonus at the end of the novel: five authentic recipes inspired by Italian for Beginners. Mangi, mangi, buon appetito!

Can anyone help?

First the easy part. To get multiple records per page, create only one placeholder in the upper left position. ID duplicates EVERYTHING on the page as many times as it can using your spacing selections. If you have one element at the top of the page and another at the bottom, for example, ID will not be able to put additional records on that page because there is no space.
Text frames should be no larger than necessary to hold the data. They won't grow or shrink to fit during the merge, so you'll have gaps if the length of the text varies from record to record.
Now, for how to fix the line-break problem. In the data file substitute a character, or group of characters you won't be using anywhre else for each return. After the merge use Find/Change to replace the substituted cahracters with real breaks.

ILife 09 Multiple Prints onto One Sheet of A4

Hi - Anyone know how to pick a couple of photo's from one event, size them, arrange them and print them on sheet of A4?
Help wasting loads of A4 photo paper doing one 6x4 per page!!
Thanks J

select the photos and click print - select the printer, paper size and print size (be sure that they will fit - for example 4 6x4 prints will not fit on an A4 - 12 inches of print can not be done on an 11.69 inch piece of paper) remembering that they need some white space - you will have to experiment to see how large you can go
Then click customize and in the setting (the gear looking icon at the bottom of the page) select multiple prints per page - the preview will reflect your settings and show you what is going to print
Click print and select any printer specific options
And note that if the print size is not in a 4:3 ratio you will get cropping unless you pre crop to the ratio you will be printing
Click print and you will have your prints

How do I burn multiple projects onto one DVD?

I have several projects saved that are small enough to fit on one DVD. Not sure, though, if I burn project #2 after project 1 has been burned, whether the software is smart enough to keep them separate and not over-write project #1.

Dave0518
Once you have burned a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD-R disc, the disc is finalized and you cannot burn a second time on that same disc (no multisessions). Even if you use a DVD-RW disc, the program will erase what is on the disc before burning anything to it.
Now, if you have 3 projects and you want to combine them to be part of one DVD-VIDEO on DVD, then you need to remember that you cannot import a project (project.prel) into another project.prel. So, you have going to have to export the Timeline of each of the projects to a file. The file type selected should be consistent with the goals of the project. To be discussed in more details if necessary.Then each file is brought into a new project (set with the appropriate project preset) which is burned to DVD VIDEO on DVD disc.
Stop markers at the end of each of the first two files is done. But, never place a stop marker at the end of the last file on the Timeline. It is not needed and can cause problems in the project.
Please consider and let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Do I make multiple videos in one project or make multiple projects??

I am going to make at least three music videos for a local band for their web site. Do I make all three in one project and can i encode them for YouTube separately or do i do all three in totally separate projects??? It seems like once i have all the footage and audio loaded in a project and do one video to upload to YouTube then to do another video i have to load all that raw footage and audio all over again for the next video and then for the third video.... seems like once all that is loaded into a project i could just separate the videos for a few seconds and do another and then another, but how then to send them to YouTube separately???
Or if i do all three in separate projects how can i combine them into one project to export in DVD quality for the band to use for promo???

Personally, I would break the Project into three, discrete Projects, but you do have a point about the Importing of the Assets.
You can certainly do this with one Project, and then Export/Share segments of it with the WAB (Work Area Bar). Here is a look at the WAB from an earlier version of PrE:
As I do not upload to YouTube, I cannot tell you if you can use the WAB, when you do the direct Export/Upload. You may have to do an Export/Share for the individual segments, and then manually Upload each. Others can shed more light on this aspect.
Good luck,

How to save multiple artboards onto one PDF?

Hi,
I've got a large Illustrator file with five artboards, my client asked for seperate PDF's of each artboard which is what I'm used to, but they've also asked for a PDF that shows all the artboards at the same time (basically looking like it does from the file I'm working on). I've trawled the settings and the web but to no avail. I've tried printing to PDF from the print menu but the only printer is Adobe Postscript File; whereas online people can select PDF from the menu settings. Am I missing something here?
Thanks

> "To save out one page from multiple artboars, then, you simply select to highlight the artboard you want to save out from the artboard floating palette. Then, choose save as PDF."
I'd say that still won't work, Meganchi.
The OP is asking for something different. Imagine an Illustrator document with 4 artboards. On each of the artboards there is just one filled circle. The task is to create a single page .pdf that contains all 4 circles according to their (relative) positions on the former separate artboards.
