Help Please ::: Quicktime .mov into iDVD 5 playback or encode problem issue

Originally Imageready files burned into Quicktime. Importing Quicktime .mov into iDVD results in project which looked great in preview, but after burning images were elongated, flattened. I am stumped, especially given preview results would indicate no such problems but unsure where to analyze on the DVD burn end to check. Any tips on what/where to check? Have tried re-importing original ImageReady (Photoshop) files into new Quicktime .mov (original project was done on OS 9 fyi). But no change in results.. any help greatly appreciated.
iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't privy to the process that converted these files originally but suspected the theory on compression/codec initially used.. may re-convert. Also will try Disk Imaging... seems that this is not an uncommon problem in the iDVD 5 world...
regards, Senor Peaches

  • Quicktime movies into iDVD

    When I drag my movies into iDVD, it shows the names of the files on the main screen. How do I do away with all the names.
    And how can I get the movie to play through without stoping after each one.
    I'm using 8 little quicktime movies of my son.

    Hi David,
    Welcome to the Discussion.
    If you have QuickTime Pro, you can concatenate them one after another to form a long QT movie, and then import this to iDVD. If you don't have QT Pro, you can also use iMovie to import and chain these movies together into one iMovie project, and then use this iMovie project in iDVD.

  • Need help converting quicktime movies into Flash files

    I need to convert a QT, PhotoJPEG compressed, movie file into a .flv format. I have AE 6.5 Standard and it keeps quitting on exporting a SWV file which would could probably get me by with my client. But, again, it errors out saying something like a JPG is busy, or a file is busy.
    I have FlipforMac,a purchased version. But I'm not sure if converting it into a .wmv and then a Flash file is the best route or is even possible.
    Any suggestions or ideas of software that I could purchase??
    ~reicko

    i don't think you have read up on the use of flash video
    (FLV). there's nothing you need that you do
    not already have (except maybe quicktime pro or some other
    video editing program). the FLV exporter
    comes FREE with flash 8. You should be able to open your
    quicktime movie in QT PRO and export to FLV
    format - then use any of the flash playback components for
    FLV files - best bet is to read the help
    docs on this subject and go to the devnet section of
    adobe.com where there are several in-depth
    articles about implementing flash video into your site.

  • Problem when droing quicktime movie into idvd

    Hi,
    i have created a movie in final cut express and exported it using quick time movie. i then drop this into idvd and burn the disc. Although when previewing the footage in final cut express everything looks ok when i play the movie from the disc it judders as though every other frame is missing. Can anyone help?
    Paul

    Hi,
    i have recorded a video in what appears to by dv pal not hd. ( the video was given to me) i then had to import it onto final cut express using handbrake software. This was imported as dv pal. After creating the video i have exported to an external hard drive using quick time movie. I have then dropped this into idvd. Then when the disc is cut the image judders really bad. When viewing this on the mac prior to burning the disc the image doesn't have the same judder, at lest nowhere near as bad.

  • Help importing Quicktime movies to IDVD 5

    Hello,
    I am trying to make a DVD of music videos and I have found that iDVD 5 will not let me import a Quicktime file. It either will not allow me to drag and drop or the video will have no sound. I've tried importing to iMovie HD first but there is never any sound encoded with the video. Please help.
    R

    Some file formats are muxed formats... MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 for example. Basically there is only one track... both audio and video are on the one track... hence when you export a muxed file, you only get one track... the video track, no audio.
    Once the file is demuxed, you will usually have two separate files, one audio file and one video file. You will need to further convert these to an appropriate format. Some apps will do all this automatically for you and create, for example, a DV file. Quicktime cannot do this.

  • What is the best encoder for a quicktime movie into iDVD...?

    i seem to be having some issues with picture quality once the DVD is actually made... i do have my preferences set at professional quality, but i think my problem may be with the original source file... what's the best format for that...? H264...? mpeg4...? pro res...?
    thanks

    Since you are just researching, I am going to make this as short and sweet as possible.
    The 27 inch screen IMac is your only option. You need to have one with the fastest i7 CPU, fastest Graphics processor. Order one with the base 8 GBs of RAM and add additonal RAM through cheaper third party Mac RAM suppliers.
    My preference is for the standard ATA 7200 rpm drives as the Fusion-type drives are not proven technology, yet.
    If you want a really fast iMac and can afford it, consider an internal or external solid state drive (SSD) as these drives ard very,very fast.
    For external drives fast drives are ones that use USB 3, Thunderbolt and/or FireWire 800 connections.
    Stay away from external USB 2.0 external hard drives. They aren't fast enough.
    You need an adapter adapter for your mini DV camera.
    You are going to need some make of separate high speed audio interface box for instruments and vocals.
    Look at interface boxes from M-Audio.
    And you'll need to budget for a third party, good quality, high speed external FireWire 400/800 CD/DVD optical drive.
    Plus, very seriously consider the purchase of extended 3-year AppleCare Warranty plan.
    Something will go wrong with an iMac between 1-5 years.
    Three years of warranty protection offers free repairs and replacement of you have hardware failures.
    Good Hunting!

  • Importing a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie

    can someone tell me what i am doing wrong: when i import a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie the background goes orange... and i cannot get it to go white again... help! please!

    Thanks for the link. We still had a the problem, but we found a woork around. It seem that if the power point has any sound in it then it only imports the sound. So we took all the sound out and then it imported fine. Then we put the sound back in and imported that so that then we had the sound effects. Any way it works! Thanks!

  • Importing a movie into iDVD from FCE

    I am perplexed. In the iDVD - Movies display, there are shown half a dozen movies. The other couple of dozen movie files which do appear in Finder - Movies are not listed in iDVD. Nor will the movies in Finder-Movies drag over to iDVD. I clicked on the yellow triangle which appears in the "insert movie" box in the theme, clicked 'import' and it told me iDVD does not support that action. So how do I get a movie from Finder-Movies into iDVD? I did not have this trouble with iMovie.
    This is my first completed FCE movie. And things were going so well.

    To import movies into iDVD you may use the File/Import/Video... command, after selecting the theme you want to use for the DVD menu.
    If a movie in the Import dialog window cannot be imported, probably it has a non standard format, and for sure it was not exported from FCE. Any movie exported from FCE with Export/Quicktime Movie (the only correct method to get a movie from FCE to iDVD) may be imported into iDVD.
    So I suggest you review the procedure you used to export from FCE and try again.

  • Importing a movie (mov) into iDVD 16.9

    I have been attempting to import a movie (mov) into iDVD. The movie is 16.9 aspect ratio and every time I import it into iDVD it defaults tp 4.3 even though I set it in the beginning within iDVD at 16.9.
    Can someone help me

    Hi
    There are in two places You need to set 16x9
    • First when You Create a new project
    • Then under Project Info (top row menu)
    This can jump back to 4x3 if You select to use such a theme - then just go up and change it back again
    SAVE AS A DISKIMAGE
    Test this first - to see that all plays as You want it
    Then first burn Your DVD

  • Problem with split screen quicktime movie to iDVD

    hey folks, i've just spent two 6-hour renderings for naught and have the following problem:
    QT Pro 6.5.2
    iDVD 5
    OS 10.3.9
    I pulled together a Quicktime movie consisting of talking head interview, then split screen (two clips simultaneously), back to talking head, then split screen again, etc etc.
    the first time i rendered the composite Quicktime movie to iDVD, my split screen background was a sickly lime green color. blech
    so, i added a black slide in TIFF format ONLY to the split screen video portions. played around with the Layers property until my split screen video clips were in front of the black background. recut and pasted my full Quicktime movie again.
    However, upon my second iDVD rendering, a funny thing ocurred. Now, when the DVD gets to a split screen portion, the VERY LAST FRAME OF THE PREVIOUS TALKING HEAD CLIP freezes, and appears in the background of my split screen clips.
    What gives?
    I plan to do some testing, but sure would like to shortcut this problem, it's eating away at my weekend and i need to get this project done.
    thanks for any insight you can give

  • Can't import Quicktime .mov into iMovie 10

    Is it possible to import a Quicktime movie into iMovie 10?  I used to be able to do this with iMovie 9 but cannot get it to work with 10.  I can drag it into an event but no clips show up.   I can't believe that Apple would require a 3rd party product to get this to work. 
    As a separate rant, you used to be able to edit clips directly in Quicktime but Apple removed this functionality a while back; ie. deleting parts of clips rather than just trimming from the ends.  It is getting tougher and tougher to do basic editing even if you stay within the Apple ecosystem...

    .mov can contain a variety of different movie formats not all of which are importable into iMovie 10.  Try playing it in Quicktime player 10 - does it say it has to convert?   If it converts it, the resultant file should import into iMovie 10 OK.  see: OS X Mavericks: Some files may be converted when opened in QuickTime Player - Apple Support
    In Quicktime 10 the way to do this is to split a movie into clips and trim each clip as required.  These can then be imported into iMovie and joined as part of a project.  See:  QuickTime Player 10.x: Rearrange your movie’s content
    Quicktime 7 Pro (which does allow removing 'middle' parts of a movie) still works in Yosemite

  • Quicktime movie into iMovie

    How can I convert a quicktime movie into iMovie or somewhere I can burn it? I have lost my iMovie footage, but had saved it a couple years ago as a quicktime movie. I need to make my quicktime movie into a DVD.

    You might find that Toast 6 (well now 7 but I use 6) is a good choice - I find at times when it chokes on MPEG-1 files, I convert them to QT using a lossless codec and then use the QT files to author a DVD. Great results.
    I have even found that QT movies using the 3ivX codec or Sorenson , 1/2 hour in length yet only 500-600 MB turn out to look amazingly good in DVD format through Toast. Even though the comparable amount of DV or MPEG-2 as a source woudl be many times larger, so the QT codecs, the good ones do OK when transcoding.
    So assuming your source is a decent codec it should look OK - author a disk image first then mount it and see how it plays and looks in the DVD player. Saves a DVD blank and some time initially.
