High Definition compression & authoring

What use is having HD editing capabilities in PREMIERE if neither PREMIERE nor its sister application ENCORE supports encoding and Blu-ray/HD-DVD authoring?
I realize that these capabilities will come sooner rather than later, but it would be a disservice to users to suppress a badly needed update just so it is a selling point for a next edition of the Adobe Production Studio.
Might I suggest that Adobe offer these capabilities now at a nominal charge, which can be rebated when Adobe does come out with a new edit suite?

Here we go again.
>What use is having HD editing capabilities in PREMIERE if neither PREMIERE nor its sister application ENCORE supports encoding and Blu-ray/HD-DVD authoring?
EncoreDVD is a DVD authoring application, not a Blu Ray or an HD DVD authoring application.
Even Sonic do this as 3 different tools, each one costing you a cool $50,000.
Additionally, Premiere Pro can edit & master in HDV, and if you do this properly, exporting out to MPEG-2 from an HDV master is still higher quality than working from any DV files can ever be.
>I realize that these capabilities will come sooner rather than later, but it would be a disservice to users to suppress a badly needed update just so it is a selling point for a next edition of the Adobe Production Studio.
Badly needed by whom?
Have you actually had a serious enquiry for HD DVD or Blu Ray authoring?
>Might I suggest that Adobe offer these capabilities now at a nominal charge, which can be rebated when Adobe does come out with a new edit suite?
Nominal charge?
Get serious, please! These are 3 different book types, with completely different specs and utterly different licensing issues.
If & When an Encore HD DVD or an Encore Blu Ray does appear - which IMHO will not be for a long time yet as neither format is properly implemented as yet (still waiting on HDMI 1.3, still waiting on DTS-HD, still waiting on stable authoring from anyone (Sonic's solutions are very, very wobbly & still limited) as the interactive components are still untested in the main. Again, Blu Ray runs with Java, and HD DVD uses XML. Neither will be compatible with SD DVD.
These formats will not become mainstream for 3 to 5 years yet, if then.

  • HIGH DEFINITION COMPRESSION TO FIT ON IDVD

    I recently had to film a 30-minute event in high-definition--but the project is huge (18 GB) and I need to figure out a way to fit it onto a standard DVD using iDVD. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

    The iDVD app doesn't care about the file size. Only the duration of the project.
    It will allow your 30 minute file.

  • High Definition trailers to be converted for dvd

    Hi, how if possible can i put a High Definition quictime trailer onto a dvd, at dvd quality. I have quick time 7 pro and just wondred if this is possible.
      Windows XP  

    There are very few High Definition DVD players available.
    But you could encode them using the older (MPEG-2) formats using current software.
    Since you're not working with the "source" files the quality will be degraded and the size reduced to fit the current DVD formats (about 720X480).
    You'll need some software (easy on a Mac with iMovie or iDVD) to convert the downloads to .dv format to use in your PC DVD authoring app. QuickTime Pro can also export to DV Stream (.dv) for use in your PC software (Movie Maker?) that you can burn to DVD.

  • A good High Definition camcorder that is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5?

    ok, i need to find a good HD camcorder for my macbook pro which uses imovie 08, but i am using imovie HD 6. my budget is around $250 and i am willing to purchase on ebay. i recently bought an HD camera off ebay for $130, it was good but i found out later it wasn't compatible with MAC! so, i need a little bit of help from anyone who knows anything about ebay, hd cameras, and mac support.
    and one more question, is the Aiptek hd camera supporting Mac? - because is records in HD .MOV format which is mac format. (quicktime).

    Those little Aiptek things, though supposedly shooting in hi-def, use high compression which iMovie HD 6 just can't deal with. If you buy one of those, you'll have to run the video through other programs first in order to make it compatible with iMovie 6.
    They usually record in something like 720p ('progressive') mode, which iMovie generally doesn't like: it expects to receive normal i ('interlaced') video ..the kind which standard-def broadcast television generally uses.
    A hi-def picture needs to be nice and stable for you to get the best out of it - otherwise it's just as much a wobbly blur as standard-def. So for good results you want a camera which has an image stabiliser built in. I don't think the cheap'n'cheerful Aipteks do.
    Even though the Product Description may say "..A-HD is your 720p HD Camcorder, Digital Camera, and Personal Media Player/Recorder! Captures true to life, vibrant colors and astonishing High Definition images like you've never seen, right in the palm of your hand.." ..that's just advertising blurb or twaddle, of course. Who says that these are images "..like you've never seen.."? ..If you have already seen images from a JVC, Sony, Canon or other decent brand hi-def camcorder, then those from the Aiptek camcorders are pretty disappointing. But no advertiser is going to spend money to say "..images far more disappointing that those of other camcorders.." ..are they?
    So - as Karsten suggests - you should be looking for an HDV hi-def camcorder on eBay.
    P.S: You wrote "..records in HD .MOV format which is mac format. (quicktime).." ..but several QuickTime formats - although they do play in QuickTime Player - won't work properly within iMovie (e.g; sound or picture may be missing). Such formats need to be converted into another .mov, or .DV format before trying to use them in iMovie.

  • AVCHD / "Advanced Video Codec High Definition" & Cheap cams & Linux?

    Hi!
    A customer of mine seems to have his mind set on the general awesomeness of the "Advanced Video Codec High Definition". I can't seem to understand why anyone would want to have a multi-track video editor work with that random assortment of specs - at least as long as it's coming from a (relatively) cheap cam...
    So my first impression: "The cam costs significantly less than 20000$ and therefore the video quality can't really get noticeable worse if one just converts the video files with ffmpeg to whatever '60 minutes of video per CD' format it sees fits".
    Am I wrong / missing the point? Do you have any experience with "Advanced Video Codec High Definition" cams & archlinux / gnu software etc that should concern me?
    Thanks!

    So... does that mean, that usually the cams just encode with one of those "generic-jpeg-intel-codecs"  (or don't compress at all) and the client-side software (that isn't used on a linux platform anyway) or something else does the rest? Or what would be a realistic / common scenario?
    Also: for someone who didn't pay much attention to "video standards" in the past, just to understand the general principle... which one of the following two is closer to "the truth"?
    (a) To ensure high video quality, it needs to be taken care of that in every step between the camera recording the raw video and burning the finished / rendered "movie" onto a portable medium, the software & hardware is capable of working with the advantages of "AVCHD".
    or
    (b) Someone obviously has been going around putting AVCHD-stickers on random objects and telling people to buy only those. If one just ignores those stickers, everything should be just fine.
    And finally: Does anyone have a cam that says its "AVCHD" and used kdenlive or something & other open software to do a DVD of some sort? Was everything in between manageable with a "normal modern desktop pc" (no highend hardware)?
    It seems to me like you are looking for some documentations so go there http://www.vcodex.com/h264overview.html and skip to the section 4 "h264 in practice"
    Basically h264 advantage is for the same video quality, your clip takes much less space (or for the same space it will have better quality). But it will need more power to decode/encode.
    Even a "low-end" camera like for example the Panasonic Lumix TZ7 (one of the best compact I think) offers 9Mbps, 13Mbps or 17Mbps when you record AVCHD. With those bitrates a "generic-jpeg-intel-codecs" will be okay. (actually the generic-jpeg-intel-codecs on the cam is a dedicated Digital Signal Processing chip aka DSP chip)
    proposition (a) everything capable of working with AVC/h264 can work with AVCHD, it's just a marketing name, there is no special features.
    Ensuring high quality is another beast, online guides and common sense help: the less you convert (colorspace for example) or reencode, the less information you will lose.
    (b) AVCHD just means the cam can record in h264 instead of DV or Motion Jpeg.
    For your final point, beyond a bitrate of 3Mbps dual-core Core 2 Duo CPU feels really sluggish when encoding to h264 but they are good enough to encode to dvd/mpeg2 format. I can't say about kdenlive/openshot/cinelerra and other NLE though, but every open source NLE can work with AVC-HD (via gstreamer or ffmpeg).
    Like Gusar asked, it would be great if you can tell us your workflow.

  • Making high-definition discs

    Frequently asked questions for playing back high definition video on a TV:
    Q1. Can I make a DVD that is high definition?
    A. No, DVDs are standard definition by design. They are composed usually of mpeg2 video with a resolution of 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). DVD players will only play actual DVDs.
    Q2. Is there any way to make a DVD look as good as my HD video looks?
    A. No. You can make it look very good by encoding it with the highest quality, but it will always be standard definition. This will probably look noticeably worse than your source footage if it is high definition.
    Q3. Isn't HD-DVD a high definition DVD?
    A. No, it is a specific term referring to a format backed by Toshiba. It lost a format war to Blu-ray. To burn and play an HD-DVD, you need a special burner and special player. Although it is a dead format, some find it useful and inexpensive to buy an HD-DVD burner and HD-DVD player.
    Q4. Can I make a Blu-ray DVD?
    A. No, there is no such thing; Blu-ray discs are not DVDs. They will not play in a DVD player even though the discs look physically the same.
    Q5. Can I make Blu-ray discs (BD) on the Mac so that I can see my video in high definition?
    A. Yes. You need a Blu-ray burner and Blu-ray discs. You also need to encode and author the discs.
    The current software options are as follows:
    1. Use Final Cut Studio to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: Excellent quality, nice looking menus, subtitles can show the chapter name.
    Cons: Only a few menu choices.
    2. Use Toast to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: Inexpensive and fairly quick.
    Cons: Limited choices of very "stylized" menus, chapters cannot be named, encoding quality may not be as good.
    3. Use Adobe Encore to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: A great deal of control over the whole process, allowing complete design of the disc.
    Cons: Expensive, complicated, and prone to bugs.
    Q6. Does iDVD make Blu-ray discs?
    A. No, it makes DVDs.
    Q7. Does DVD Studio Pro make Blu-ray discs?
    A. No, it makes DVDs.
    Q8. Can I do anything to put HD video on a DVD, with a standard DVD burner?
    A. Yes, you can make what is called an AVCHD disc. This puts a small amount of HD video on a physical DVD. The result is not a DVD, and will not play back in DVD players. It will play back in most Blu-ray players. Final Cut Studio and Toast have the ability to make these.
    Q9. Are there other ways to play high-definition video in HD?
    A. Yes, if you play back from a device rather than a disc of some type. AppleTV and the Playstation 3 can play high definition video to a TV. There are numerous other media playback devices that are essentially hard drives with a specialized enclosure. Also, you can attach most digital TVs to any modern laptop or desktop computer, although interlaced video may not always display properly and might show combing artifacts.

    Frequently asked questions for playing back high definition video on a TV:
    *Q1. What are high definition and standard definition?*
    A. HD and SD are video resolutions defined by the dimensions of the frame size. Standard definition is 720x480 or 720x576 depending on the geographic location. High definition is anything greater than this. The two most common HD resolutions are 1280x720 and 1920x1080. Since digital video uses precise measurements of frame size, all digital video is either SD or HD.
    *Q2. Can I make a DVD that is high definition?*
    A. No, DVDs are standard definition by design. They must be composed of mpeg2 video with a resolution of 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). DVD players will only play actual DVDs.
    *Q3. Is there any way to make a DVD look as good as my HD video looks?*

    2. Use Toast v. 9 or 10 with the Blu-ray plug-in to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: Inexpensive and fairly quick.
    Cons: Limited choices of very "stylized" menus, chapters cannot be named, encoding quality may not be as good.
    3. Use Adobe Encore to encode and author a BD, using a BD burner.
    Pros: A great deal of control over the whole process, allowing complete design of the disc.
    Cons: Expensive, complicated, and prone to bugs.
    *Q7. Does iDVD make Blu-ray discs?*
    A. No, it makes DVDs which are playable in a DVD player.
    *Q8. Does DVD Studio Pro make Blu-ray discs?*
    A. No, it makes DVDs which are playable in a DVD player.
    *Q9. Can I do anything to put HD video on a DVD, with a standard DVD burner?*
    A. Yes, you can make what is called an AVCHD disc. This puts approximately 45 minutes of HD video on a physical DVD. The result is not an actual DVD, and it will not play back in DVD players. It is essentially a Blu-ray structure on a physical DVD-R. It will play back in most Blu-ray players. Final Cut Studio and Toast (v. 9 or 10 with the Blu-ray plug-in) have the ability to make these.
    *Q10. Are there other ways to play high-definition video in HD?*
    A. Yes, if you play back from a device rather than a disc of some type. AppleTV and the Playstation 3 can play high definition video to a TV. There are numerous other media playback devices that are essentially hard drives with a specialized enclosure.

    I have a Motorola HD receiver from my cable company, and it does have two FireWire ports on the back.
    I use a Plextor ConvertX TV402U with the cable box now (via S-Video out), along with the Elgato EyeTV software. This converter decodes the video no matter what, so I'm always seeing compression artifacts. It has no option for uncompressed HD, and I even tried (and returned) an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid device because I misread the site and thought that it'd display uncompressed HD.
    The EyeTV Hybrid device would only show true HD if it was an over-the-air HD broadcast, and it could not display uncompressed HD from any set-top box.
    In fact, neither of the aforementioned devices can even output digital video; they both output analog video to the Mac.
    Is there definitely a way to connect my HD set-top box to the Mac via FireWire? I've never heard of iRecord, and as I said, I currently use EyeTV.
    As an aside, I am also curious about the BluRay/HD DVD drive query, as I'd ultimately like to get one or the other once the "standard" is set.
    Thanks!

  • High Definition or Standard Definition Timeline?

    When editing a program for cable TV playback that will be shown in standard definition 4 x 3 aspect ratio, MPEG2, 720 x 480, what settings should be used for the timeline?  It seems to me that it should be some sort of standard definition timeline 720 x 480 non-square pixel.  I would like to see in my client monitor what the home viewer will see.  Is there any reason to use a high definition timeline, then convert it?  There will be no reuse of the program on the web or in future reruns.  No fancy animations or pans and zooms.  Source material will be mixed.  It seems to me that graphics made on a high definition timeline will also look bad when converted for standard definition playback.
    Would DVCPRO50 be the best choice, can ProRes be set up for this, or something else?

    If we shoot HD then we edit in HD and we prefer PR422 to most alternatives most of the time.
    I would edit in whatever you have the most of. DVCPro50 and PR422 are both codecs. It is one or the other.
    What do you have the most of? codec? HD? SD?
    We prefer to convert any and all source footage that isn't PR422 to PR422 when working in PR422. I wouldn't bother with DVCPro50 unless that is what most of your footage is. Is this on tape/card? How are you getting the footage into FC? DVCPro50 is a SD codec while PR422 can be either. If most of your footage is HD you will have to render all HD footage that you are adding into a SD timeline.
    Converting  HD to SD is not a guaranteed quality hit.
    Setting all the frame controls to best in Compressor will usually solve most conversion/quality issues but depending on the length of your show this can take a lot of time compared to good or better(and the results are never as good).
    An alternative:
    We have had success with exporting our HD sequence(self-contained or reference)/reimporting into FC and then adding it to a 16x9 or 4x3 SD sequence and rendering. Export your new SD master and then compress for your final deliverable.
    Keep in mind that HD is rectangular while SD can be rectangular(16x9) or square(4x3). When you down-convert to your SD deliverable you will have to letterbox your HD or 16x9 footage into a 4x3 SD window(unless you plan to render and/or scale all of the footage as you add it into a 4x3 sequence).

  • Is High Definition the same as HDV?

    is High Def the same as HDV. What is the difference between HDV and mini DV. can someone send me a list of terminology defined. this is really frustrating and confusing. stephen

    HDV = High definition Video, which is a recording format which uses MPEG2 compression to fit high-definition content onto the same DV or MiniDV tapes
    Mini DV = which is (tape based for camcorder) video in Standard definition.
    If you are looking to video in high definition then tape based camcorder is best using mini DV tapes.
    You can buy a HD camcorder that records in High definition and also switch to standard definition, most cameras will allow you to do this switch.

  • PE7 unable to recognize Canon HV20 as High Definition

    Hello Everyone:
    Unfortunately like some of you that probably want to try your hand at high definition editing, I just bought PE7 a couple of days before the announcement for PE8. For some reason I find that PE7 (and my previous PE3) cannot recognize my Canon HV20 as the high definition camera that it is.
    I can easily import regular dv-avi from this Canon but when trying to import the files as HDV, it does not recognize the camera.
    The camera is connected via firewire and is recognized as 'DV' Camcorder but not as an 'HDV' camcorder. The footage has been recorded in High defintion 1080.
    I hope that one of you with this type of camera can help.
    On another note, is it possible to record into PE7 with HDMI?
    Thanks,
    Lucio

    Lucio,
    Perhaps a different capture card is needed or Vista Ultimate (instead of the Home Premium that I have).
    A FireWire connection should be all that you will need. No "capture card" would be involved.
    There don't seem to be many setting available for transferring beside an 'AV-DV' on-off (which I keep on).
    Because my Canon is an SD-only unit, I can't really check its manual to help you. This line puzzles me a bit. What happens if you set this to OFF? Considering the number of menu options and switches that I have on my SD camera, I'd have expected your HD/SD unit to have more possible settings, but maybe I'm wrong and Canon has simplified things a lot.
    Good luck,

  • A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

    [EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%.  I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements,  I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
    In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
    The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed  me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
    So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
    Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
    Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
    Save and Output your slide show.
    In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
    Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
    Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
    Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
    Ta Da!
    Cheers,
    Neale

    You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
    .prx
    The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
    Local Disc C
    Profile Files (x86)
    Adobe
    Elements 11 Organizer
    Assets
    Locale
    en_US
    tv_profiles
    in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
    .....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
    .....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
    .....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
    A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
    The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
    I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
    More later.

  • What EXACTLY are the 4 NVIDIA High Definition Audio devices on N570GTX - Win 8.1

    Hi guys,
    one of my rigs runs an N570GTX on Win 8.1 64bit.
    In Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there are 4 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" listed.
    I use 337.88 drivers (NVIDIA Control Panel version 7.7.760.0).
    What is the purpose of EACH of these 4 devices:
    As a side note, my other rig running an N660GTX on Win 7 64bit only shows 1 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

    Okay, by examining the devices (enabling, disabling, reading driver data), I can conclusively state that one of the drivers (in my case residing in Location 1) is exclusively tied to the HDMI port on my GPU –  when I disable it, my HDMI device (I have only one; shame, because I can't isolate the devices better) stops being listed in Windows Sound Control Panel; when I disable all other devices except that one, my audio over HDMI works fine – this leads me to believe that the other ones are not really essential codecs required for HDMI audio, but are instead related to the individual audio outputs.
    In summary, assuming the other two devices (residing, for example, in Location 0 and Location 2) are for audio output on DVI ports (usable via DVI->HDMI adapter/cable), there's still one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device (residing in, say, Location 3), which doesn't seem to be in use in relation to some sort of global codec mechanism (since I can disable it without affecting my HDMI port audio output), that is unaccounted for!
    Any idea what other output can the remaining device be linked to, since GTX570 has no S/PDIF pass-through connector on the board itself (to connect it to the motherboard's S/PDIF output)?
    Could the remaining device be there only as a legacy stub for S/PDIF connector which was present on the pre GeForce 400 Series cards, since they share the same NVIDIA drivers with the post-Tesla series?
    But in that case, why does my GTX660 list only one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in Win 7 64bit?

    Apart from the sound you can get through HDMI (which would be 1 or 2 of these in management), it provides your board with some "HD Sound Drivers" which takes another 1 or 2 of these.
    I have quite few of these too even on my old laptop (with Nvidia card): x4 Nvidia High Definition Audio, x1 Cyberlink WebCam, x1 Realtek HD and x1 Bluetooth sound.
    Your specs read that you have a GTX770 running on Win 7 64bit; do you also have four of the Nvidia High Definition Audio devices? Or just one? Thanks!
