HDV to NTCS DVD works... is it the same for a PAL DVD?

Hello
I created a DVD from HDV material using these settings with compressor:
http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/bkhdvconvert.html
basicallythe options are: DVD Best Quality 90 min 16:9
Video Format Tab in the Inspector to manually set filed dominance to "botom first"
It worked fine.
Now i need to create a PAL DVD. what would i need to change?
just set the video format to PAL in the inspector window? and then in DVD studio pro set it to PAL again?
thanks.
Leon.
thanks.

let me see if I can help out a little here.
The problem with converting 1080i to SD in software is that FCP seems to do a not-very-good job of downsampling the image, particularly when you are going directly to DV. Details get blurry, and other compression artifacts become quite noticeable. I have also experienced trouble with the HDV fields not getting processed correctly if I go to SD mpeg directly from an HDV timeline or movie file.
Your best bet is one of the following workflows:
Export a 1080i HDV or AIC movie file and re-import to FCP. Place this clip into an anamorphic SD sequence. It doesn't matter if the sequence is DV or Uncompressed if you send the sequence directly to Compressor from FCP, because this will ignore any rendered material and use an uncompressed image buffer as it encodes the mpeg. Do not letterbox your widescreen video if you are going to DVD - widescreen DVD video should always be full-frame anamorphic.
Your other option is to attempt to use Compressor to down-res the sequence or a self-contained movie of your HDV, starting with one of the advnace format conversion presets in Compressor. However, you'll have to cutstomize the preset by turning on the frame controls, and testing the settings to make sure you are happy with the result. Turning on frame controls will increase the ratio of your encoding time anywhere from 4 to 20:1.
I have tried all of these methods, and none of them look as good as capturing the downconverted video from the deck after mastering to HDV tape.
Hope this helps -

    We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

    The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used.  Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash.  If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first.  Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
    P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control.  Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

  • Saving to SharePoint works only half the time for Windows 7 Users--all the time for Windows XP users

    We have a SharePoint 2010 Environment with hardware load balancing, 2 WFEs, 2 Apps Servers and 1 SQL Server. This was built in October 2013. Office Integration and Saving back to SharePoint works all of the time for users on XP. It works sporadically for
    users on Windows 7. When Windows 7 users do the following:
    Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint
    Within a Document Library, using Save As from an opened document
    When selecting in a Document Library from the Document Tab> “New” and then the desired content type
    Send> Save to SharePoint from within Office Document
    They may either be brought to the SharePoint library (correct) or to My Documents (incorrect).
    In the case of number 1 (Opening an Office Document from computer and saving it to SharePoint)--using Save and Send will sometimes open the SharePoint library and sometimes open My Documents.
    Our URL is https://CompanyName.domainname.com/Sites/SiteCollectionName
    The intermediary "Sites" is actually a blank path.
    When My Documents is opened I've noted with Fiddler (a web debugger) that we get a 404 on sites:
    Could this be the issue?

    Some things to double check:
    Ensure that you have sticky sessions enabled on your load balancer
    Check that your WebDav calls are making it to the server
    Ensure that you have a root site collection in all your web apps
    Just out of curiosity, what is the http request look like for the 404 error?

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.

    The device is locked to the carrier it was purchased through unless you specifically purchased it as unlocked directly from Apple.
    Only the carrier to whom it is locked can authorize it's unlocking.  To do so, the user much contact them to start the unlock process.

    hi,
      first use fm "bapi_po_create".
      then use fm "BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST"
    The demo environment was made with real business scenario in mind, but following subjects need to be addressed in a live implementation:
    •     No exceptions and error handling is implemented, except the order rejection (e.g. partly delivery);
    •     In Navision both XML Ports and the XML DOM has been used to integrate with SAP XI, because XML ports has some drawbacks regarding to Namespaces in XML Documents (mandatory in SAP XI);
    •     A minimum of SAP and Navision customization is required to implement this solution. (e.g. user exit in SAP, Navision XML DOM).

    Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

    Hi Stan,
    I just want the user to be able to run my video clips either on a 
    computer or on a standard DVD player. It would be nice to include both 
    formats on a single disc. I am new to this and am not sure what format 
    is most widely used for standard DVD players. Thanks for your response 
    and any guidance you can give me.

    Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD.  The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

  • How do I connect two workstations to shared storage that allows them to work independently on the same project non-destructively?

    I plan to edit a feature length film using Adobe Premiere CC. I need to know the "Adobe-way" of connecting two workstations to shared storage that allows them to work independently on the same project non-destructively. Is Adobe Anywhere the answer? None of the humans I spoke to seem to know anything about their own product. I also cannot find a price for Adobe Anywhere, anywhere on the Adobe website.

    You need to contact Adobe on this:
