Having trouble converting video to dvd

Hi there. I am trying to convert an 8mm tape to dvd. I imported using FCP, i made my necessary edits and then converted them to a quicktime file and imported the clips to iDVD and burned my disc. the problem I am having is that when I playback the dvd anytime there is motion it gets very pixelated and looks like garbage. I am sure there is a setting that I am missing, or not converting it properly. I really need some help on this.
here is the process by which I am exporting the edited piece to burn to DVD,
Export: Using Quicktime conversion. My settings are: Compression H.264, Quality: best, Key Frame Rate:24, Encoding:multipass, and Dimensions 720x480(4:3)
I am just looking for the most convenient way to transfer and edit these tapes to dvd without the glaring pixelation problems.
thanks
Jason

First, you must feed iDVD with an uncompressed copy of your movie, what means, same settings that your timeline. Select Export > Quicktime Movie (not conversion!) > Same settings. Then use that file as soure in iDVD. iDVD will encode this file to MPEG2 video.
Second, I suggest you learn to use Compressor and DVDSP. iDVD will not give you too much encoding control. With Compressor you can set the exact encoding parameters you need, including AC3 (Dolby) audio. iDVD uses AIFF audio that can cause skips when playting in stand alone players because the high bitrate.
Hope that helps !

I'm having trouble downloading video from my Panasonic HDC/TM900

I'm having trouble downloading video from my Panasonic HDC/TM900. It seems it is designed to work with PC's.
Can anyone help with this?

If you have not done so already, I recommend updating Final Cut Pro X to 10.0.5.
And if that doesn't work, download the following applicaton (FREE) and use it to convert your footage to Apple ProRes, or another compatible video coded/format...

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras. Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder? If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

Since upgrading to new version I do not know how to downloand and convert videos to DVD. Please help!

Since updating to new vision of firefox I do not know know to download and convert videos to DVD. Please help!

I'm having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs. Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, A

Dear Forum,
I realise this isn’t necessarily your problem, buy I’m having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs.
Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
A

HHi Barbara, thanks for replying to my post.
No there's nothing wrong with the Jpegs, but I want to srart uploading images for sale in Alamy, but they say they must be a minimum of 17mb un compressed. Does that mean that at 6mb compressed from 90mb they'd be acceptable?
thanks,
alex

Having trouble converting array to spreadsheet string, storing the file and coverting back to array with complex numbers

I am working with a network analyzer. I have arrays made of 5 columns the first consisting of an integer and the next four consisting of complex numbers. I am converting the array into a spreadsheet string and then saving the file using the write characters to a file VI. That seems to work well as when I open the file in Excel all the data is there. However when I try to reverse the process, open file and convert back to array, I loose some of the data. Specifically the imaginary parts of my complex numbers are all going to zero. I have narrowed down the problem to be in the conversion from spreadsheet string to array and vice versa. I
think the problem may be with the 'format' input to the VI. I do not have an adequate resource for this so I am not sure what to put in to accomplish my task. Any takers?

Hi Biz
I don't think there is a direct way of converting a complex number to a
string, so when you convert the array to a spreadsheet string, the
numbers would be converted to real data.
However, you could try separating the real and imaginary parts using the
"Numeric: Complex to Re/Im" function, and then store these - either in
separate files or in adjacent columns/rows in the same file. Then, when
you read in the data again, use the "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function
to put the two "halves" together.
If you actually want Excel to interpret the numbers as imaginary, then
you'll probably want to create a string for each complex number of the
form "Re + Im*i" (after separating the Re and Im parts), by using
"String:Format into String" with 2 numeric inputs and the format string
"%f+%fi".
Reading the data back into Labview then would require splitting the
string into the 2 pieces by using "Stringcan from String" with 2
numeric outputs (smae precision as original numbers specified by the 2
Default Value inputs) and the same format string "%f+%fi", and then using
the above-mentioned "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function. It worked for
me, so if you can't follow what I am describing, send me an email and I
can email you what I did (LV 5.1.1).

I'm having trouble viewing video's on my macbook.

Greetings all.
I have a macbook and for some reason, I've been having trouble viewing online video's. And it happens with all sites, youtube, dog world, ect.
The video stops and has that circle in the center, then plays a little more, then stops again. I have version 10.6.8. I don't believe it is my internet connection, i can watch video's on my ipad.
Thanks,
Brad Doyle

Try playing at a lower resolution if that option is available (for example, in youtube the controls are in the lower right of the video window). Some sites, particularly youtube, seem to have problems playing some (not all) videos at 720p and 1080p.

Having trouble converting a string to a double

Im having problems converting a string to a double in my jsp pages, i have pasted part of the code that is causing the problem. Just a note, i have imported the java.lang.* classes also
while ( rs.next() )
String price = rs.getString("price");
sPrice = double.parseDouble(price);
out.println("<TD>$" + decimalFormat.format(sPrice) + " </TD>");
An error occurred at line: 140 in the jsp file: /cs399/AddToShoppingCart.jsp
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29\work\Standalone\localhost\_\cs399\AddToShoppingCart_jsp.java:277: class expected
sPrice = double.parseDouble("price");
^

double is a primitive. You want java.lang.Double, with a capital "D":
sPrice = Double.parseDouble(price);MOD
