Footage "hops" after creating DVD

I couldn't think of a better word than "hops." Sorry When playing the clips before adding to Encore the clips play fine. Imported into Encore and created a DVD and now the main feature of the DVD has issues. Any parts of the video where there is movement(actors moving, talking, etc) the video looks fine but anything that is not moving in say a static shot with objects in the foreground, the objects bounce noticeably bad.. I have placed three different video files on the DVD and only one does this so I am thinking there is some sort of compression or rendering issue with the options I choose.
I believe the one that has the issues I rendered out of Premiere CS5 as the H.264: Youtube HD with defaults.(29.97 fps)
The Outtakes reel I rendered to H.264: Youtube SD with defualts and that seems fine(29.97 fps)
The shortened version of the film I rendered in H.264:Vimeo HD (30 fps and other tweaks vimeo's site suggested as I had issues uploading to their site unless I did this exactly.
I am re-rendering the footage with h.264 DVD720(not the offical name) and added the tweak Vimeo suggests from their site. I am hoping this works if not then I will go with the Vimeo preset with tweaks. I guess i am curious why this happens and if there is a suggested format I should be doing when creating DVDs? I normally do not do DVDs and just upload to YT or Vimeo so this is new ground for me.
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,
You are doing yourself a disservice if you think you have this all sorted out now. Stan made the correct suggestion at the start that you need to encode to MPEG-2 for DVD, but you seem to be on a totally different path of your own choosing.
The official DVD specification calls for MPEG-2. Nothing else. You can feed Encore YouTube clips or whatever you want, but they will ALWAYS, without exception, get converted to MPEG-2 before they ever get burned to the DVD. Nothing else will work.
You are correct that MPEG-2 files are larger than your YouTube clips - because the H.264 clips are more compressed for the web. By converting to H.264 from Premiere, you are highly compressing the video, tossing out a bunch of data that you will never get back later.
The proper workflow from Premiere is to encode directly to MPEG-2 for DVD in Media Encoder. The resulting file is then DVD-ready when you import it in to Encore. It will not be converted again, and the quality is just one generation away from the original source. As stated earlier, if you bring your H.264 clip into Encore, it has to transcode it to MPEG-2 anyway. Now you have encoded the file twice...time wasted, quality lost, extra space taken on the hard drive...what was gained?
Also - if your source was 1080i or SD, it was interlaced. Converting to an "H.264 for web" format deinterlaces the video to Progressive. With SD footage, that means you threw away half the resolution. Half the picture, gone.
If you DO need to create an intermediate file for some reason, there are "lossless" .avi codecs that come to mind like Lagarith or UT, but I never think of YouTube videos and quality together ;-)
Please reconsider your workflow, and your viewers will thank you
Regards,
Jeff

Last Chapter won't work after creating DVD

Created movie in FCE with 5 chapter markers added. Last one is at the start of credits. When I add this movie to idvd everything looks good. All chapter markers are there and work, both in mocie and from scenes submenu. But after I compile and save dvd to .dmg file the last chapter I created will not work from the scenes submenu though it still works from the movie. Any thoughts......

Did you make any edits to your movie after putting it into iDVD? There is a bug in iDVD that causes incorrect playback of chapters if you change anything in the movie.
There is no 'fix' for this...you have to recreate your iDVD project.

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

My Dows iMac does not Boot up into the OS nor into the DVD after creating..

Hi All,
I ended up in strange situation where iMac doesn't even Boot, neither from the HD nor from the DVD, I ended up with this problem after creating a Bootcamp partition on my iMac.
I tried all the possible troubleshooting methods given in the Apple trouble shooting guide. but no use.
the current state of my iMAC is when start it it simple displays the blank white screen and doesn't progress any further.
and when I reboot the machine and hold the C button, it displays a faint folder icon in the center.
please help me , if any one has encountered the same problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Narik

If you start up with the Option key, as far as I remember, there is no mouse icon. You may need to use the arrow keys to select a bootable disk.
OK, holding down the mouse button is the accepted (and correct) way to eject a disk at startup.
Try putting in the disk before startup. Then hold down the C key when you press the power button. It can take a time to read an install disk. However, if it is not reading the disk there may be more problems.
Have you tried a safe boot: Use the Shift key at start.
Serious Stuff:
I know you are new to Macs, but as an alternative, try to startup and hold down the Command + S keys. This should put you into single user mode and it will all look like a black screen with white writing. When it stops you should see a $ sign -- this is the command line. As a first step, just type in the single word - reboot - and press the return key.
If that works we can try something else.
It may be, of course, that while creating your Boot Camp partition, you erased everything. Great care needs to be taken with these functions. That would not, however, prevent the disk from booting.

Recovery Partion Role AFTER creating recovery DVD's?

on a DV7t:
What is the role of whatever is left on the recovery partition after creating the recovery DVD's?
Is there any reason to keep what is there?
I would love to shrink the Windows 7 partition, grow the Recovery Partition, and then install Windows XP into it.

Nothing changes in the recovery partition when you make the disks. After you have the disks and have tested to be sure they work you can delete the Recovery Partition. Vista and Windows 7 have the ability to resize exiting ntfs partitions. Shrink the Windows 7 partition, delete the Recovery partition then make a new ntfs partition in the extra space after the Win7 partition and use it to install Windows XP. XP does not work real well on the dv7 series you have to install a little hacked routine at startup to make the sound work and I found XP not to be too stable on my dv7-1175nr. I am now happily running Windows 7 64 bit on it and have no need for an actual XP install. If you must have XP Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate have an XP Mode which is a virtual machine....works great. I have a scanner for which there are no 64 bit drivers. If I need to use it I just fire up XP Mode. There is a full pass-through of usb devices.

Creating DVDs - something besides iDVD?

I'm looking for a free app that will let me create DVDs.
I have a series of commercials that I want to put on a DVD, and when I do it through iDVD, I have to use the pre-installed backgrounds. I don't want any backgrounds or menus... I just want the movies to play when you put the DVD in.
Any suggestions?

How to create a DVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

Is there a way to create DVD chapters in iDVD?

Is there a way to create DVD chapters in iDVD? I don't see any options for it in iDVD. Also, I don't want to have to import all the footage back into imovie. Thanks

So, what if iDVD 7.1.2 doesn't recognize the chapters from iMovie 10.0.5?
Apple has removed the ability to create chapters in iMovie 10
I use iMovie 06 to do this. It works perfectly with Mavericks, as does iDVD. You can purchase iMovie on disk as part of iLife 06, readily available on Amazon and eBay.
It's quite shocking that another feature has been removed from the once mighty iMovie.

Created DVD problems on TV

After creating a movie in iMovie and then iDVD, when I play the DVD back on my TV, it is cropped and part of the picture can not be seen. I tried creating the project both in standard and widescreen, in both iMovie and iDVD, but the problem persists either way. The video was captured from a miniDV tape. How do I fix this problem????

CRT based TV sets don't show the entire image area you will see on a computer monitor because of something called 'overscan'. Overscan is used to hide the various synchronization pulse information needed to operate analog TV sets.
If it really bothers you, you can do something like: http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/QT_Pro_7xmasking.html , but it's a LOT of work!
The pros know all about overscan and are careful when they shoot to keep important content away from the edges of the image frame.

Can any body tell me how to solve the error"Context element and property are not compatible " coming for DC ess~Org?

If you have created other projects and they are working fine? Standard application should work without any modifications, so you may like to revert all the changes(before they cause further problem).
Well you may like to clean up your directory , unless you have loads of application checked out.. Remove all applications from this particular Track, ensure that everytime you delete project from Studio , select to remove code from directory.
This is likely that you are working on applications from two tracks, where version of FPM component is not the same. I always prefer to work one at a time, and i remove other track if i am done with application(This is lame way of handling it, but i prefer this.. saves loads of time to clean/repair)
Also hope you are using compatible version of Studio.

HELP! Cannot Compress Footage to Single Layer DVD...

Here's my problem.
I cannot compress footage to single layer DVD. I'm trying to make a DVD with motion menus and a full length feature. TRT 1 hr 47 min 3 sec. I compressed the video and audio using compressor after it did not fit on one single layer DVD the first attempt. The file sizes of the newly compressed video and audio are adequate to fit on the 4.7GB DVD but after importing the into DVD Studio Pro 4 (DSP4) the disc size comes out to 5.1GB. After DSP4 does its own encoding the file sizes double. I cannot figure this out. Please help.

AS per David suggestion, get yourself on A.Pack and convert your audio to Ac3.
a link to explain how to use A.pack for a dvd project (providing that you have A.pack still, otherwise you will have to use Compressor, depending what version of the suite you have.
Still this link will help you both:

Depending on your version of Compressor, you may have A pack or you may not...
An AIFF File could increase your project by a gig...
There shouldn't be any problem in fitting that size project on a single layer project...

Will iDVD Disk Image work for creating DVD's on PC

I created a disk image of video that I have made DVD's from. I want to send the disk image to friends to create DVD's but they have PC's. Is there a way for them to use that disk image to make CD's? What programs would they use? etc.

Hi Parrish Jones
Welcome to apple discussions. The good news is that a disc image burned through iDvd is identical in content to the finished dvd. So if your friend can use the video_ts folder to create a new dvd (on his choice of PC Dvd burning software) then there shouldn't be a problem. At worst you may have to first provide him/her with a burned iDvd rather than the disc image (depending on weather or not s/he can read said image on a PC).
I personally use Roxio Toast to burn the disc image to Dvd-R. And Roxio also make a PC version of this software called Roxio Creator. Although I've read the PC version for Windows Vista isn't nearly as good as the Mac version. (why I don't know).
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/creator/system-requirements.html
Most folks who run Windows Vista / burn Dvd's on a pc do not necessarily use Roxio products as opposed to Nero or CDBurnerXP (and there are other alternatives also listed below for the PC).
http://cdburnerxp.se/download.php
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-best-free-alternatives-to-nero-cddvd-burner/
Your choice (or rather your friend's choice).
Other helpful link/s for your mac when using apple's disc utility rather than Toast:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/making_dvdcopies.html
Hope the above links help but if not just come on back. And good luck.
