Help for converting edited files

So I'm trying to get the hang of this program.
I have a bunch of mpeg files that are edited to the orginal source of 1280x720  otherwise known as "letterbox". The other source is 23.976fps,
What I would like to do is the following:
Use the edited clips that I already have:
Convert them into a format where I can import them back onto adobe premiere elements 10 and edit further
Keep the same dimensions of 1280x720
Not lose any of the picture quality
I have no clue of which video codec or file to convert them to. I would prefer to keep them mpegs.
Please help me.

These FAQ entries are a good starting point for file conversion:

  • What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?

    What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?
    I don't want to upgrade to the latest Quark now i've got CC so going to make the leap to indesign only. Does Indesign auto convert or do I need anything else?

    ID does not load QXD files. There is a respective commercial third-party plug-in to that effect, but it's rather pricey and I'm not up to speed which versions of Quark and ID it supports and which features come over. Inquire in the ID forum.

  • What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

    In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

  • Options for converting '.vob' files for editing in PP Pro CS3...

    Hi,
    I'm using PP Pro CS3 (Windows) and I have a few projects here where the source material are '.vob' files only.
    Now because PP Pro doesn't support that file format, I'm looking for options to convert this footage to a format - suitable for editing in PP Pro CS3 - that does NOT explode in file size.
    Converting to uncompressed .avi is up 20 times the file size, DV .avi is about 5-10 times the file size.
    Here are the options I've tried so far:
    1. importing '.vob' files straight into PP via the Avisynth method
    --> works, but PP crashes randomly and it always crashes when rendering more than 2-3 min
    --> all my system drivers are up to date
    2. renaming to .mpg or .avi
    --> works for some files (only) but you get random red frames in your footage
    3. converting to mpeg-2 via...
    a. Carbon Coder - best quality so far - looks like original
    b. Premiere Elements 4 - no de-interlacing option, takes way too long, quality worse than original
    c. MPEGStreamclip - no options selectable, quality is worse than original
    4. converting to 'DV avi' via...
    Carbon Coder - PE 4 - MPEGStreamclip - VirtualDubMod
    --> file size explodes (5-10 times of the original .vob file), quality looks on all kinda the same and NOT better than the mpeg-2 output from Carbon Coder - that's why I don't wanna take the storage hit...
    Are there any other methods or ways to convert '.vob' files to a suitable editing format (with a reasonable file size) ?
    Thanx for your help !
    Mike

    Take the storage hit and be done with it. Hard drives are cheap these days. Editing takes lots of space. Might as well get used to it.

  • What is the best product for converting MTS files (NOT on camera or in root directory) for editing in Final Cut

    Hello all,
    I have read the forums and know that I cannot use the Log and Transfer function on Final Cut Express 4.0 for my AVCHD files (from my Panasonic HC-V700) AFTER I have transfered the files out of the original root directory.  Unfortunately, I did not know this until recently and I have a bunch of old footage in .mts form that I copied onto my harddrive WITHOUT the root directory.  I now must get it into Final Cut Express 4.0.1. and I would like to use a Log and Transfer style program so that I can select what I need and erase the rest.  I know about the program VoltaicHD which can be used for this purpose.  I have not yet purchased it, but I will if this is my best option.  The downsides to it are that it takes a lot of time to process the files (i hear from this forum) and that it creates extremely large files (hearsay from this forum, though I would like to know just how big those files are and how they compare to the size of files final cut creates). When I tried the trial version, I also noticed that unlike the log and transfer function in Final Cut Express 4.0.1, you cannot capture multiple subclips from a single clip.  Well you can, but you have to load the clip into the viewing window again, which is not ideal.
    I would love some more advice on this.  I imagine other people have made this same mistake and have had to figure their way out of it.
    I was also wondering is it possible to use Final Cut Express's Log and Transfer program directly from files if they are in a different file format.  So far my experiments with this have failed.  But if this is possible, I suppose I can also just convert all the backlogged files wholesale into a format that Final Cut Express supports more easily for Log and Transfer (What file format would this be? Sorry I am new to this).  My new harddrive has a lot of free space, so I could probably handle the huge amount of storage that this would require for the raw footage and then I could erase it after I log and transfer just what I need.   In which case, do folks have recommendations for a file convertor.  I am dealing with over hundreds of files and I don't think the free online convertors would work. This product has been suggested to me, but I know very little about it.
    Thanks!
    Mira

    I am also finding, when I use Voltaic trial version, that the quicktime movies it creates are of inferior quality than those created through log and transfer into final cut express and imovie, particularly during rapid movement. There's a lot of visible lines running horizontally around areas of rapid movement (not sure what the lingo is for this).
    Anyway, now I am getting accustomed to the idea that my best bet is probably just a high quality converter to get my mts files into something more useable by final cut.  At this point, I am willing to sit through the render time that it will take on final cut express while I edit.  I am just trying to get my footage into workable format without losing quality.
    Thank you!

  • Help for converting .mov HD 1080i to HD DVD 1080i format to play on my DVD player

    DVD Video discs are always standard definition -- 720x480 on NTSC or 720x576 on PAL, otherwise they don't conform to the strict DVD Video specification and won't play in a DVD player.
    If you want HD, you have to make a Blu-Ray disc. You need specialized software for that such as Toast 11 Titanium or Adobe Encore (part of the CS5 or CS6 collection, not sold separately) and a Blu-Ray burner. Of course, you will also need a Blu-Ray player connected to your HD TV.

  • Script help for dated folder/file

    would anyone mind helping me finalize an issue i have been needing to finalize? i have gotten some help on creating a script that creates a file or folder with the current date but i am not technically competent enough with applescript or chron or any of these things. i can handle terminal pretty much but some of the explanations while obviously complete have got me confused.
    can anyone take a look at the first one here and just tell me how to get off the blocks with this?
    apparently i need to /copy/ and paste the text into a text editor and save as a .pl file by converting the file extension or is this wrong? it seems to me like the next step is in terminal so with a question or two i am sure i can handle this second part...
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18109918#18109918
    this is another version but the first seems like i have more editing control or may be more direct for my needs(?).
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3526097?start=15&tstart=0

    Well, since you have issues with copying, pasting, and saving a file in the GUI, the second option may be your best choice. Setting up crontab requires some proficiency using the vi text editor.

  • How to change the suffix for externally edited files?

    Hi,
    How can I change the suffix Lightroom adds to externally edited files?
    If I want it to be "-E" instead of "-Edit" for example, or "-Mod" instead of the long and ugly "-Modifier" in french version.
    That would help me to get shorter filenames.
    Thank you!

  • I want to pay someone to help me convert Pagemaker file

    I need to find someone to PAY to help me convert a Pagemaker 6.5 file to a PDF with Truetype embedded fonts.
    I have spent 35 hours trying to figure it out. Sending how-to stuff does not work. I need to PAY someone to help me fix it please.
    I have tried an amazing number of ways of trying to fix it, and nothing works.
    It is a 280 page file. It is not worth it to me to buy Indesign to convert this one file. Please help.

    I finally got the file to print out properly. I am so happy. Thank you, thank you to all of you who posted here. You were the key to my getting this to work! Here's what I learned:
    I am using Windows XP. Really!
    Pagemaker 6.5 is not good a creating a pdf with large files and particularly so if there are a lot of embedded images. I did have problems with a corrupt file because I was able to make a pdf with a simple file and then even that stopped working. Always make several backup copies of large files in case your file goes corrupt. Then you can go back to an earlier copy and start again.
    It is important to do a "Save As" with a new file name before starting to create a pdf. This simplifies and compresses the file for easier pdf creation.
    If you are starting a file from scratch that will be made into a pdf, use a Postscript font, not a TrueType font for fewer problems.
    I finally ended up buying a copy of an upgrade from Pagemaker 6.5 to Pagemaker 7.0.2 on Ebay. It had a serial number. I know there could have been problems with that but for just one file I was willing to try it. I did not want to go through the possible long reworking if I imported the file into Indesign. Especially since there may have been problems with the resolution of images. Also with Pagemaker 7 there was Acrobat Distiller 6 that I installed. Before I only had version 5.
    Open your file in Pagemaker 7: Then click on File, Export, Adobe PDF, Distill Now. 
    To check if embedded fonts in PDF: In Adobe Reader- File, Properties, Fonts.
    For any new documents where I need a PDF with embedded fonts, I am going to use Indesign. But for this one file. Buying an upgrade to Pagemaker was worth it.
    Optional: If your TrueType fonts are not embedding:
    Outside of Pagemaker set up printer (you only do this once): Go to "Start" in Windows at bottom right of screen. In right column click on "Printers and Faxes". Right click on "PDFCreator". (This printer is created by installing PDFCreator program. I am not associated with them at all. Other programs will work too for this.) Select "Printing Prefrences", then "Layout", "Advanced", "Graphic", "Download as Softfont (Truetype)". Save.
    Open Pagemaker document. In "File", "Document Setup", change printer to "PDFCreator". 
    On another topic, I think if would be nice if Adobe sold a light version of Indesign for people with simple needs. Buying a new version of Indesign for $650 for only 1 file is too much. Though as stated above they do have the online monthly program. But for people who only have occassional small needs for it a light version would be great.

  • Help me convert my files!

    Ok, some I am making an iMovie for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, and I am using a screen capture program that saves files as .swf . I need help converting that file into something that iMovie can read. I have a demo .swf to .fla if that helps. Either a free converter, or one with a demo/trial is a must, since I am a cheap person. Thank you all. The solution to this problem will make my life soooo much easier.

    .swf files are Flash files. You need Perian:

  • Need help in converting authorware files to HTML5

    Hi,
    I am using Windows7 64 bit OS, I have games written in Authorware and I want to convert this into HTML5. Can anybody help me in achieving this.
    I went through some forums which says there is no direct conversion possible. But I want to know what possible way I have to convert Authroware files to HTML5.
    Thanks
    Ahamed

    There's no way to 'convert', you're looking at 'rebuild'.
    You can export all assets/media from the Authorware file (File > Export) so that may help get all your assets in one place, but it's kind of a mess...no organization to those exported assets.
    You can export the piece to XML, but there's no interpreter for that, so unless you build one, it's not that helpful.
    Those two exports are a place to start but, otherwise, you'll need to rebuild the games.
