FLA/SWF conversion? Getting onto DVDs easily?

I have searched the forums already and could not come up with a definitive answer. I understand that the latest QuickTime update broke SWF compatibility, but are there any other solutions, either commercial or not, for converting SWFs or FLAs into a movie file - either MOV, AVI, or whatever else? We can pay for the software if it's out there. Google searches yielded only Winblows garbage. Starting up in a previous OS version is also not an option.
Basically, we need to get our Flash movies onto DVDs quickly, and repeatedly. Maybe you folks have other ideas for doing that... ?
Thanks all!

Hi Adrian
The $23 VisualHub will do this (and more) for you.

    "I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
    How? Using what equipment/software?
    "The DVD  plays on the device on which it was recorded."
    Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.

    It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.

    Your Superdrive may need a clean.

    If you have a mini DV camcorder with A/V ports you can connect the output of a Standalone DVD player to your camcorder (instead of the TV). You'll record the output from the DVD player to tape in your mini DV camcorder and import the tape into iMovie (excellent quality).

  • Getting a  90 min fce-hd project onto DVD

    Hello,
    I have a 90 minute HD project completed in my timeline and I'm having difficulty getting it onto DVD. The "self-contained" movie file is 50 GBs. Can iDVD handle a compression of this size
    or do I absolutely need COMPRESSOR to realize a decent quality DVD?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Here's the process to burn DVD for household DVD player:
    In FCE use export to quicktime, uncheck "self contained". There is not quicktime encoding at this stage. The encoding process will occur in iDVD itself uppon burning. It's an invisible process.
    Drag the resulting file in a new iDVD project.
    From this stage, it's the total length of your movie(s) and all animated menus in iDVD that rules the choice of your support(DVD blank).
    You have to use single layer for a total of 2 hours, or dual layers for 4 hours (if your mac can support this blank DVD). Check your iDVD preference to select the right encoding method, best quality or better performances.
    Click the burn button., and voilà.

  • How do i get my dvds onto my (30GB) ipod

    i cant figure out how to get my DVDs onto my ipod can someone help me?

    I purchased a program called the Cucosoft DVd to iPod converter. It was 29.95 (I think) and it's great. You pop in your DVD, open the program, open the DVD file and then choose what you want on your iPod (you may not want all the special features, commentaries, trailers, etc, so you can just select the movir itself) and then click 'convert' and let it do the work. Once it's done it asks if you want to open iTunes to load the movie. You then click file>add file to library and it takes you right to where the movie is stored. You load it on itunes (takes about 3 minutes and you don't have to convert it again) and you're set,. Then sync as you normally would. I have 10 full length movies, a bunch of music videos and about 900 songs and I've only used about 35% of the 60g. Hope this is helpful

    hi i understand your frustration as i have been there myself, to be honest i would avoid the whole converting the file to 3gp as i feel this dramatically lowers the quality and i would recommend installing an aditional medial player to the handset.
    try installing one of the following files as they have worked for me in the past:
    http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/314762/

    you can download these straight to your pc or use your handsets data connection but be wary of data charges while doing this.
    goodluck

  • Quickest Way Of Getting H.264 Video Onto DVD?

    I have a number of videos on H.264 which I want to put onto DVD.
    The obvious way is to convert them to AIC or ProRes, put them in an FCP sequence and export to Compressor/DVDSP etc.
    Is there any quicker way (however dirty) or any method that saves the need to convert to AIC or ProRes etc.
    I am aiming for speed rather than quality!

    It strikes me that there are only 2 basic methods:-
    a. If you put H.264 in the FCP timeline it will take ages to render, so that's a non-starter.
    b. Converting it to ProRes or AIC will retain its quality and not take too long to convert.
    So b seems to be the better and quickest solution.
    I can't think of a quicker way (using my existing equipment/software), so it look as though there probably isn't one.

  • How do I get a DVD movie onto iTunes ??

    I have been trying to get the DVD on to iTunes but it doesn't work correctly. Any ideas?

    If it's a commercial DVD, you have to first break the CSS encryption, which is illegal in many countries so against the forum rules for anyone to tell you how to do here.
    If it's a non-commercial DVD, Handbrake is a graet program to convert dvd's to MP4's that will play on the ipad

  • Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD, Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD

    Hello,
    So I've just finished a 30 minute long project on Final Cut Express.  I want to get this project onto a DVD-R (holds 4.7 GB) so I can get it to a television station where it will be aired.  I exported the project to my desktop as a Quicktime file.  The file is 22 GB.  This doesn't seem right.  What do I need to compress this file to get it onto a DVD-R with minimal loss of quality?  I used iDVD to get a 36 minute version of this project onto DVD and it worked great.  The thing is, if I'm giving the 30 minute version to a television station, the movie shouldn't have the interactive DVD title screen at the beginning, so I need to find another way to compress the movie.  Any advice??  Thanks.

    Hi
    To get Maximum quality over to TV-Station - I would Copy back to miniDV tape (100% quality) and let them use a Camera or tape-deck to play it.
    (BTW - DVD is as standard SD-Video - so HD material will not be any better - in some cases it even get worse)
    Else if DVD is a must.
    FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things to know
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Drop it into the Auto-Play box (top left one in organization menu in iDVD)
    Use a Very simple theme - eg "Brushed Metal" (old themes)
    Drop a black photo here to make it invisibly
    • Now it will Auto-Start and end on a Black frame - There are no - No Menu choice else.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding

    • I use Verbatim

    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to

    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Problems then
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

  • How do I get the dvd blank tape out of the computer

    I have successfully copied onto a dvd from my camera using Idvd08 One step. I did about four dvd's ok. Then, when I opened the idvd and chose "one step" and put in the blank dvd, it would keep showing on the screen the directions , when I chose "ok" it then went back to the opening icon where I would choose "one step". repeatedly. and the blank dvd is stuck in the computer. I tried holding down F!2 but that didn't work to eject the dvd. I have about 10 more movies to put onto a dvd from my camera. They are short about 10 minutes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I did get the dvd out of the computer. I finally found a direction that worked. I still cannot get the idvd to record from the camera using 'one step'. thanks for any suggestions.

  • .swf file quality to dvd what is the magic path

    This has always been a struggle trying to get .swf quality to the DVD and on web. I thought that when Adobe bought flash this will soon be a peace of cake. That has not been the case and I’m still trying to find the magic path. I have recently up graded from premiere 6 to premiere pro CSF to get upgrade of Encore 2.0 and what I thought was the silver bullet .swf import possible to premiere I thought this will cut down on the number of compressions and give the .swf quality on the DVD and much better web based quality as FLV files. The current movie which is by the way a deadline pay the bills type project publish fine as a .swf and has great screen qualities. It is my understanding that the new mpeg codecs that come with this upgrade are the choice for best DVD quality and web production when I import the .swf the movie export works fine for a while then windowsexporter.exe stops working and the process quits. So I guess maybe vista windows thing on my laptop so I up grade on my XP desktop and the program will not run at all and keeps crashing. So I find out file is probably to big to process so I split it down into smaller portion in flash and try to import the new smaller files and get error message file screen size to big when it is set to 720x480. I try sending directly to encore as suggested and get encode stopped unknown error. I can get an windows projector .exe file to process thank goodness that is keeping client happy for now but need to go on line and to dvd soon with much better quality than I get when I can get the movie to process in AVI which is really bad quality and not acceptable to deliver. Thanks in advance for any help deadline May 12 DVD in clients hands so this is chrunch time I need a fix or work around.

    I don't think I understand what you mean by "SWF file quality" in relation to Encore.
    Are you authoring to DVD? All video in the DVD-Video format is compressed to MPEG-2. If you're using SWF (FLV, really) for you source video, then you are starting with a highly-compressed format to begin with and it will be re-compressed to MPEG-2 when the DVD is built.
    If you're not trying to use FLV for your source video, can you please explain the problem?
