H.264 1990 X 1080 Files to PAL hardware convert

I have had several films delivered to me HD Size 1990 X 1080 H.264 (originally shot in HD in NTSC land) recently, and wish to make SD PAL .m2v and ac3 files for DVD delivery. What is the best workflow? H.264 to 8 bit uncompressed through compressor (with frame controls on), import into FCP to play out through Teranex to .m2v and ac3
Does this make sense?

Or you could use ProRes.
Use Frame Control if you are:
Changing the dimension
De-interlacing
Reverse Telecine
Changing frame rate
(Use the better setting. I you use best, you'll be waiting for the cows to come home. With no side by side difference, better/best)
If not don't turn on Frame Control.
Then import video into FCP...

  • 1080i60 file to PAL dvd

    i have a motion based animation. 1920 x 1080 that i need to convert for use in a pal dvd. seems simple, but all i need to do is run it through the 1080i60 PAL preset in compressor (which only changes the fps to 25) and then compress that as a mpeg?
    am i missing anything?

    Hope you asked us to disregard because you figured it out or got help, not because you're giving up!
    There are some excellent white papers (pdfs) on this site about FCP workflows.
    One thing to keep in mind is that changing the easy setup will only change the default settings for new elements you create. Existing sequences will keep their original settings, which if you think about it is the way you would want it.
    Also, you don't have to make a separate version of the project, you can duplicate the sequenc ein the original project - I find file management easier this way.
    Good luck -

  • H.264 saved as .f4v files are corrupted?

    Greetings,
    I'm working with a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 and FMLE 3.0.1.5963 and trying to save the encoded H.264 stream to a file.  The encoder works, and I'm able to view the stream live, but the saved stream appears to be corrupted.  I'm unable to open it in Adobe Media Player or Moyea FLV-Lite editor.  Is this funcationality broken?
    --[Lance]

    Hi,
    In order to play f4v file created by FMLE 3.0, you need to first flatten the files using free F4V post processing tool available at

  • Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?

    Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
    I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
    MOV file is as follows:
    4.08GB
    Codecs: H.264, ACC
    Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
    Duration: 12:33
    Audio Channels: 2
    MP4 File is as follows:
    3.02GB
    Codecs: H.264, ACC
    Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Dimensions: 1280 x 720
    Duration: 12:33
    Audio Channels: 6
    I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
    I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
    I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
    PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto converts AVCHD to MOV files - is it down converting?

    I just bought a new camera yesterday.  It is a Sony Cybershot WX150 which records HD video (1080i) in AVCHD format.  When I import the files into iPhoto - which are then later exported as "originals" they are very small .MOV files.  I am wondering if my AVCHD files are actually down converting or if they are just small MOV files because the AVCHD files are already compressed?  Basically I want to make sure I'm not losing quality on import.  Ultimately I would prefer that I had the original file instead.  Does anyone have any input on this?  Thank you.

    The resolution that iPhoto of the exported photo from iPhoto is 1080 but that does not mean that it hasn't compressed or down converted.  I know the resolution i am shooting at is 1080i.  I would just like to know in the conversion process of AVCHD -> MOV if it is just re-wrapping or if it is actually converting.  I am ok with a small MOV file like it gives but I do not want the original quality adjusted at all.
    Unfortunately comparing the two on a computer screen may not tell the whole story and might look ok even if it is compressed. 

  • I can not open a file that has been converted from a PDF to a .doc.  I have a one year subscription to PDF Pack.

    I click on the tool to convert my pdf file to a .doc file.  When the program writes it is finished and I can down load the document, I do so.  Even though the converted file is listed as a .doc or docx, neither Microsoft Word nor OpenOffice can open it.  What is going wrong?
    I also click to be able to edit my pdf document, but no commands to edit it come up.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi ktewksbu,
    I don't think you're doing anything wrong. What is the file size of the converted document (and the filename extension)? Do you have the same issue with any file that you try to convert? Or is the problem specific to one file?
    As for editing a PDF file, that requires Acrobat. (Adobe Reader lets you comment on a PDF, but  not alter its content).

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online"

    I have been getting errors for about a week when trying to convert a PDF to a word document. In Acrobat I get the error "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF Online" and when online using ExportPDF I get a conversion failure.
    Please help.

    Hi PeterChick,
    Does it occur with all files or a specific file?
    Are you trying to convert from within Reader or from Browser?
    If from Reader then make sure you are signed in within Reader, also try updating Reader to the latest v11.0.09 and check.
    If from Browser then have you checked with a different browser if possible?
    Regards,

  • "itunes could not copy song to the ipod because the file could not be converted."

    Hello.  I'm using iTunes 10.6 and trying to sync an iPod Classic 120GB with Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I keep getting the error "itunes could not copy 3 songs to the ipod because the file could not be converted."   All three songs are AAC, 256kbps. I didn't have this problem with these songs a couple days ago until I decided to convert all 256kbps songs to 128kbps to fit on my 120Gb iPod.  iTunes, nor my iPod haven't updated during this time.  Any suggestions?
    -Chad

    This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)

  • Itunes could not copy song because the file could not be converted.  Can anyone help

    Synced Jeff Wayne's War of the World from Mac to Iphone - 1 track could not be copied - error message "the file could not be converted" popped.
    Any suggestions as to problem and remedy?

    This "Workaround" doesn't fix the fact that Itunes generate an error message because it is unable to convert the audio file ALTHOUGH the audio file is OK.
    This problem started with Itunes 11.1.3, and it affects almost every album in my library for no reasons ...
    Tried deleting all library file, creating a new library and re-importing audio file that I know are OK ... funny thing, it's not always the same file that create this bug.
    Really a random bug ... reopened itunes with "compatibility option" set to "Windows XP SP3"   and  it's different tracks from the same album that can't be converted now.
