High Definition question(s)

I've been thrust into the job of producing dvds for my company and I'm having fun with it for sure. We bought an HD DV camera and I've been under the assumption that we would be able to produce HD dvds, and that people who viewed them who had HD players could get the HD benefits, while others who viewed on regular non-HD players/tvs could still view correctly, just not in HD. Am I way off on this? Is the extra advantage of hd dv footage moot when it comes to authoring on iDVD? I know that I can't burn a high def dvd in my MacbookPro burner, but I been thinking that I could produce the HD iMovie/iDVD to burn on either with a commercial DVD duplicating company or, we're considering investing in a duplicating machine ourselves. (We need to be able to produce variations of a dvd over the course of a season, so sending out for 500 copies won't be cost effective.)
Any guidance would be much appreciated, thanks!!

Am I way off on this?
You will find that HD shows up as SD on most macs and set top DVD Players. And the reason for this is that iDVD will not burn an HD DVD. For that you would need an HD / BlueRay Burner (along with supported software and drivers) which i-Apps do not yet support (to the best of my knowledge). However the Pro Apps / DVDSP / Toast might offer a few more workable solutions in this same scenario when combined with a Blueray / HD Burner. At least this is what have been reading throughout this forum. None of the above is derived from any personal experience whatsoever on my part; since i'm still burning standard iDvd's in 4:3 format (for the most part).

  • High Definition Question - Please Help!!

    I have a HDD camcorder and I record on the highest possible HD setting. I than import my clips into iMovie 08 using the "Full" 1440 x 1080 setting. My question is . . . . . between iMovie and iDVD what are the steps I need to take to get that HD picture I recorded in onto my 52' HD TV?
    Thank you for your help.

    hey there Nkulu,
    iDVD doesn't support or author(create) Hi-Def DVDs. it will only do Standard-Def DVDs. look into Roxio's Toast 9 & it's HD plug-in to create HD video discs on your Mac.
    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.

  • HOW TO MAKE A HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DVD WITH PREMIERE CS2

    I have been working with my CS2 Premiere to create some auto play high definition, audio-only DVDs that are autoplay.  To clear the air, yes I know that CS4 will permit 24bit-96 kHz.  For the time being 16 bit-48 kHz, is still better (marginally) than CD, but it permits greater playing times.  Yes, I know that the autoplay without menues "feature" is bogus, and was never corrected by Adobe.  So much for their interest in their customers.
    I found a simple workaround for the autoplay/no menues feature.  Just make a DVD-RW with menues.  Then use DVD-DeCryper/Shrink/Nero - whatever to make an autoplay DVD onto a permanent disc.  It works well.
    Here is my latest crazy problem: How to get really long playing time.  I know I can make high qualitye DVD-A's up to 3 hours using Minatonka Bronze.  Unfortunately, DVD-A discs are worthless as they cannot play in 90% of DVD players, but they prove the time point.
    I have three 48 kHz files that I created in Adobe Audion.  The were 1.599, 0.911, and 0.974 GBs in size.  That added up to 3.480.  The playing time is about 2:30 Hours; quite a bit less than 3 hours.   I tried burning a DVD with these, audio-files-only.  I checked lowest quality video, used no video, and got an Export To DVD error that I had "insufficient" space on the 4.7 GB disc!  So, I used the two latter files, which added to only 1.884 GB.  Premiere did not baulk, and it successfully burned a DVD that played.  Then I added the 1.599 GB file, and, once again, it produced an error.  This was clearly not going to work.
    At this point, I realized that Audition had done what it liked to do: It had saved the 16 bit-48 kHz files as 32 bit-48 kHz!  So, I went back to Audition and used EDIT to change the files to genuine 16 bit-48 kHz files.  When I opened them in Premiere, Premiere reported 16 bit-48 kHz files.  Their sizes were now, 0.799, 0.456, and 0.487 GB.  Please note that this totals 1.742 GB.  This is less than the 1.884 GB I had successfully used before.   Once again, I was getting the "inssufficient" space error.  This is nuts.  The disc can hold 4.3+ GB, but won't fit 1.742.GB.
    So, anybody got some ideas?
    Mike

    Jim,
    I cannot believe you are wasting my time and the space of this forum with your irrelevances.  It would have been better had you just tried to answer my question, which is the purpose of these forums.  Why engage in useless chatter?
    I said nothing about any great sonic difference betweein 16/48 and 16/44 digital audio; I said "marginally."   In English that means very little difference.  I'm not going to prove to you with distortion and frequency response plots that there is some minor difference, it is a fact of life.  You, in fact, just stated a difference.  The difference between a 24 kHz cutoff and a 22 kHz custoff  is a difference which you give, to back up your absurd statement that there is no difference.  This can actually translate to a minor, difference in THD at higher audio frequencies, but who cares?   Well, you apparently care, because your beligerant non-reply to my question was that "fewer...would notice ."  In English that means that some would notice.
    What my question had to do with MP3 junk, or multichannel sound, I don't know.  Why should I do, as you suggest, and make DVD-A's when one needs only stereo?  This is a Premier forum, not a DVD-A forum.  Why not bother DVD-A junkies on Minatonka fourms?  DVDs can handle stereo PCM very nicely.  Classic Audio has marketed their 24/96 DADs for many years and so have a few other companies.   They have been well received by some "golden eared" types.  I hope they don't upset you.  There is a good possibility that DVD may only be around as a "legacy" feature on BLU RAY in future years.  DVD-A was DOA years ago and SACD may go just away; DVD-A is almost that.  So, PCM stereo sound DVD's are a good bet that the resultant disc will be playable on many people's players as well as future players.  The longer playing time that may be available would make listening to concerts easier, rather than breaking them up into segments.
    If you want to argue my motives, or tastes, I suggest you go to another forum and discuss you theories.  If you actually have something productive to say about the problem I pointed out, that would be welcome.
    Mike

  • No audio from HDMI output because High Definition Audio Driver cannot start (Envy 17 Quad)

    Ever since I first bought this laptop two months ago, the audio from the HDMI output has always been inconsistent. I remember it working a couple times, but there were more times when my audio driver didn't recognize that an HDMI cable was plugged in. Yes, I tried all the obvious: shutting down computer, checking disabled devices in Playback Devices, reinstalling drivers, etc. Now, when I plug an HDMI cable in, the video comes out fine but the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC does not recognize HDMI/my TV. The High Definition Audio Driver says it cannot start, but I could not reinstall nor find a download from HP's website. How can I get audio through HDMI to my TV??

  • High Definition

    Just upgraded from making iMovies with 30 second clips from a stills camera to making them with a Sony High Definition Camcorder, HDR-HC7E(DV Tape) and would appreciate some advice on a few things regarding the 1080i high definition-I have made a few of these in iMovie and export them back to the camcorder for viewing through an HDTV. Since I have not yet bought the latter, I cannot view in HD.
    The first question is what happens to stills(say from iPhoto) imported into an HD project in iMovie. I use stills selectively not only in the canned themes but also with a Ken burns effect to make some point in the movie. Specifically, does iMovie convert the imported still into a high definition clip if the project is high definition and does it matter?
    Secondly, when exporting directly back to camcorder or via a file, a menu box pops up at or near the end of the transfer and asks if you want to make another copy. If you click no thanks the camcorder is disconnected. Is this what should happen?
    Thirdly, can anybody recommend any useful sites/books for getting the best out of camcorder audio accessories- I have a clip on Lavalier which seems straightforward and substantially improves commentary audio whilst filming but I do not really know how to make the most of the shotgun mike which I also have.
    Finally an observation. This camcorder is fantastic and works well with iMovie.

    ..mmm. delicious..
    Where was I..?
    Sony's own mics for your camcorder are shown here (click on that link), and they clip onto the camera's 'Accessory Shoe'. Other mics can be plugged into the mic socket at the front of the camcorder.
    Note that Sony cams have a 'plug-in power' socket for external microphones: that means that low voltage power is provided inside the microphone socket, to power those mics which can make use of that, instead of their needing a separate battery of their own. Not all external mics are wired the right way to make use of that. So MOST external mics work OK when plugged into a Sony; SOME work excellently, without needing a separate battery of their own (e.g; the wonderful little Vivanco EM216, which has terrific bass for a stereo mic so tiny!); and SOME mics give very poor results in that Sony external mic socket, because their own internal wiring is incompatible with the way that Sony send a low voltage though the socket. "Try before you buy" is the best motto.
    Your own clip-on 'Lavalier' mic must be one of those which does work well with Sonys.
    Many people buy the popular 'Audio-technica'-brand shotgun mics, but I'm very disappointed by them, finding them rather "thin" and "tinny", but - as with all mics - you've nothing to compare them with till you DO compare them with other brands of a similar type ..and perhaps many people are satisfied with them - or perhaps they've bought them, and then discarded them.
    You don't say which shotgun mic you have.
    You say "..I do not really know how to make the most of the shotgun mike which I also have.."
    Generally, a shotgun mic picks up sound from directly ahead, and good sound from perhaps 6 feet (2 metres) away. But it WON'T pick up much sound from the sides, or behind it.
    So you wouldn't use one at a party - because you'd miss all the general noise and "atmosphere" all around - unless someone was giving a speech, and you wanted to clearly pick up everything they said instead of it being drowned in the general noise, in which case you'd point the shotgun mic directly at them. So you'd use it at a wedding, to pick up the minister's words, and the bride's and groom's, and for speeches; but you wouldn't use it at a fairground, or a beach, or anywhere you wanted to pick up sound from all around.
    It's like a telescope; it doesn't pick up what's everywhere around and nearby, but it picks up, and sharply focuses on, what's rather more distant. You wouldn't use one to record a conversation, unless the people talking were right next to each other and a few feet in front of you ..because it would pick up only the one person it's pointed at, and wouldn't pick up any others. But you WOULD use it to distinctly pick up someone at the other end of a fairly quiet room; someone giving a talk or a speech, or someone on stage, or the striking of a distant clock, or a distant whispered conversation.
    Outdoors, shotguns can be quite susceptible to wind noise, so they generally come with a "windshield", but you often get better results with a specialist "fuzzy" cover such as a "Rycote".

  • How can I "proxy edit:" a high-definition project?

    This is an undocumented process, created by the always amazing Robert Johnston, and a good solution if you find that editing HDV and AVCHD video natively puts too much stress on your system's resources.
    Proxy editing temporarily substitutes a sort of preview video for the native files, usually one of lower resolution so that you can work with it more easily. Then, when you output your project, the editing and effects applied to the proxy video are applied to the actual footage, creating a high-definition output.<br /><br />Here is Robert's solution:
    I have a custom project preset for 1080i that has an editing mode of 360x270. Anything you render as a preview is only 360x270 "MPEG-2 I-Frame Only." You can create your own and see if it helps with editing.
    To create your own, you first pick a project preset by clicking "Setup" on the startup screen displayed by Premiere Elements 4. Select the 1080i 30 or the 1080i 25 project preset from the HDV tree inside the NTSC or PAL nodes. Click the "New Preset" button, then click the "Save" button, then give the custom preset a name and description of your choice. Click "Save as Default." Exit out of Premiere Elements.
    Now open up your custom preset with WordPad. The custom preset file will be in the following folder:<br /><br />C:\documents and settings\[login id]\application data\adobe\premiere elements\4.0\settings\custom\
    Once you've opened it in WordPad, scroll down past the gibberish until you get to the line with ObjectID="6" and change the PixelAspectRatio from 1920,1080 to 480,360 and change the FrameSize from 1440,1080 to 360,270. Then save the file.
    <VideoSettings ObjectID="6" ClassID="58474264-30c4-43a2-bba5-dc0812df8a3a" Version="8">
    <MaximumBitDepth>false</MaximumBitDepth>
    <PixelAspectRatio>480,360</PixelAspectRatio>
    <FrameSize>0,0,360,270</FrameSize>
    After saving the file, you can start up PE and create a new project based on that custom preset. Clips you drag to the timeline will look normal sized, but if you render a preview of it, it will only be 360x270. It will look best when magnification is set to "Fit" or 50%.
    Add titles, effects, transitions. Then render a preview.
    You may not think that this would export correctly, but so far it has worked for me. The only thing that I haven't tried is burning a Blu-ray disc
    Titles won't come out correctly if you change framesizes in some of the other ObjectIDs of the custom preset file. Just change the one that I specified.
    Hopefully that gives you the idea so you can change the frameszie to something else if you don't like 360x270."

    Paul_LS
    Thanks for the reply.
    I am with you about editng preview file (proxy) instead of the original AVCHD HD1080i or HDV HD 1080i. But, I went off course with your comment:
    "Using the proxy you can view the video/effect without rendering" since you do not see the preview file until after you have rendered your edit of the Timeline.
    Perhaps my understanding of that will answer the question that I asked about the benefits of using the proxy procedure if the workflow is just import, no edit, export.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp56429.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let it complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • Creating high-definition Quicktime files

    I have a project that was shot in P2.   The footage is 720P (I *think.*  I'm not as up on high-def as I should be.  The files are 960x720 with an aspect ratio of 1.3333 at 23.976 FPS).  The client has requested a high-definition Quicktime file that they want to play on their laptop, and not a blu-ray disc.  What settings should I use in Media Encoder to accomplish this?
    My best guess is to use the h.264 codec and manually set the bit rate to its maximum.   However, if I set the Quicktime file output specs to match the specs of the P2 footage, it plays back too tall and not wide enough in my Quicktime player.  Through experimentation, I found that if I set the output to 1280x720 with a pixel aspect ratio of "square pixel," it loks right when I play the file in my Quicktime player.  But something tells me there is a better way.
    So back to my original question - can Adobe media Encoder deliver a high-definition Quciktime file, and if so, how?
    J. D.

    QT's treatment of PAR's is bordering on comical. I don't know if it can't or won't read PAR header data created by windows, but i've never had any luck displaying non-square pixel vision in QT.
    You can set it manually in the bowels of QT to get a correct aspect ratio, but it aint easy.
    I'm with Harm: go square pixel. You might get a little degredation (as you'll be leaving a pixel-for-pixel scenario), but it's better than the alternative.

    Hi:
    The IDT audio driver (notebook speakers) appears to be working fine.
    The problem is probably with the Intel graphics driver which  controls the HDMI audio.

  • HP Probook 4530s IDT High Definition Audio Codec Speakers

    As the title states:
    HP Probook 4530s
    Windows 7 OS
    IDT High Definition Audio Codec 
    The laptop quit playing through it's speakers, but will play through the headphone jacks when plugged in.  Tolerated it for about 8 months now.  Recently, while playing with it I noticed that if the System is set to headphones and you double click on the slider it begins to play through the laptop speakers for approximately 1 second.  You have to keep double clicking to maintain sound through the speakers.
    Now, when I go to Speakers/HP Properties it shows that the sound is to the bottom 3.5mm jack & front 3.5mm jack.  This laptop has NO bottom 3.5mm jack on it, only the front 3.5mm jack.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, looked for new drivers and thought about installing an old driver but not sure how far back to go.  Any suggestions would be a great help here.  If you need more info please let me know what you need and where to find it and I'll provide it.  Now that I know the speakers actually do work, I'd love to be able to use them again.

    Now to help out with troubleshooting this here is a pic and what I think is going on:
    Notice that the jacks are allegedly on the bottom and front for the speakers, only issue is there is no jack on the bottom and the front jack is for the headphones.  the 10-18-2012 update that HP is tossing around ignores the fact that there is no bottom jack for the HP 4530s, g7, pavilion and dv7.  I've had all of these over the years.  It seems someone wrote a driver that is one size fits all and totally missed that these speakers are located someplace else.
    So the question is, how do we reassign the location so it puts sound to the speakers?
