How can I make iDVD with a H264(.mp4) video file???

I've got two files which is in .mp4 format, I tried to edited it in iMOVIES but it came up with only audio no video. So then I tried to put that two .mp4 video directly into iDVD, but it also didn't work. There is no problem when I try to view .mp4 file in quicktime player.
So if I have to changed the format to .avi , which software would be best?? I want to keep the quality of the original files but I have heard so many times that after changing the file format, the quality may not be the same as before.
Please, masters, help............

OK, here are the results of my experimenting:
ffmpegX wasn't happy making the conversion and froze. I didn't try 'playing' with it to make it work. I guess I can't recommend this approached for you.
I DID have success creating a DVD from your file using Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 (you must have version 7 to do this).
It was a slow process - your 0:03:46 clip required abount an hour on my 1.33 G4 PowerBook. The process might have been slightly slowed because in addition from going from MPG-4 to MPG-2 (and converting the audio), it was also converting from PAL to NTSC (the source video is 25 fps).
In my opinion, the results looked pretty poor when viewed on a TV. About what I'd expect starting with a small (662x384 pixel), highly compressed MPG-4 image file.
Stick to viewing them on your computer with the VLC Media Player. You'll be a lot happier.

How can I Hyperlink from Muse to my MP4 video files

I have been trying to Hperlink to my video files from a folder on my computer from Muse.
I have tried to Hyperlink to .swf, MP4 but will not work.
What I am trying to do is have active video links on my web pages.

Brad,
When I do the 'Add Files for Upload' I do not see the file going into the assets folder.
I am trying to put the MP4 file in the assets folder.
maybe I am doing this wrong.
I produce the video in Camtasia. It produces a swf, MP4, and a html file.
Am I trying to link to the wrong file for the video?
Thank you,

How can i make trigger with basler camera GIGE 659x494 - 70 FPS and I/O terminal block

Hi all,
How can i make trigger with basler camera GIGE 659x494 - 70 FPS and I/O terminal block

Frank,
If you are wiring an isolated power output to the EVS you will need to apply a power supply to the terminal block. This is mentioned in the "wiring isolated power output" section of the EVS getting started guide located here. The guide references the EVS user manual which provides a pinout of the d-ub connector in table 2-11 of the manual located here. For more information on the camera settings you need to set on the Basler camera please see the user manual of the camera you refrenced here.
To provide power to the camera you can purchase a power cable for the camera. Rather than a power cable, since you want to also do triggering, you will want a Trigger and I/O Cable instead which is part number 779985-01 as seen on this product page. The I/O cable would allow you to wire the trigger lines to the terminal block as well as the power lines.

TS4293 How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files importet by iPhoto?

My iMovie 11 shows the videos from my iPhone importet by iPhoto, but not all the videos importet the same way from my camera. It works fine with the videos recorded in MP4 but not at all with the AVCHD. How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files? iPhoto imports and shows the AVCHD fine. Also I could import the AVCHD files with iMovie but then they would be twice on my computer and use a lot of space.
thanks for your help

Right now, iMovie won't edit AVCHD wrapped files. You have a few options:
1. Import the videos with iMovie. Afterwards, you may add the imported movies to iPhoto if you want.
2. Import the videos with another app. (Too numerous to mention.)
3. Convert the videos with a third-party tool.
4. Wait for a future version of iMovie that adds this capability.

How can I make chaptgers with in Chapters

Hi, I was wondering how can I make a chapter within a chapter. Maybe that sounds funny. What I want to do is back up some old video tapes that have some old shows on them. Like for example, I want to make dvd with some old 3 stooges on em for my dad. For each episode, I was thinking, I was thinking of breaking them up a bit, so you can do scene selection faster. However, I don't want them as seperate chapters so when your in the dvd menu and go to scene selection and have all whole bunch of chapters, I would rather have just the episodes. Like I know we have some bought dvds of threes company and you can select which episode you want to watch and when you watching it and you press like the chapter button or next scene goes to where a commercial would have ended. I thought bookmarks would do it but I was way off on that one. Or is this a thing you do with DVD pro.
Nathan

Hi, Nathan,
I haven't done this myself, but I know you can have submenus of submenus and you can probably create this type of 'nesting' chapters by placing chapter markers in iMovie, and then making the menus and submenus in iDVD.

How can i make the report previewer show a PDF file instead of HTML?

Hi there,
i made a report which can be called within a form by a button. This report is a PDF-report.
I also have an option in the application to start the report from the menu. Then i get the Launch Report Form by Headstart. Here i can fill in for Desformat (in the options) PDF and Output to PREVIEW. Still it generates me a HTML report in my browser. How can i make it work so that the PREVIEWER will show me a PDF-report instead of the HTML?
Kind regards,
Dave

You can not use PREVIEW as output type in webbased forms/reports. Try using as output type CACHE or FILE.

PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there
One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
Cheers... Rick

How can i make adreslabels with Numbers

I bought OS 10,7 ( for i Cloud) Now Apple Works i cannot use! This is e great great problem.
Hou can I make now new afdress labels. Alle my files are made with apple Works

Re-install Snow Leopard on a seperate partition or external drive, or use iWork Pages and Numbers to open your AW WP and SS files.
Databases are a different problem, but they can be exported as ASCII and imported to Numbers or to Bento.
However, you have to open them to export, which means having SL available anyway.
To do address labels, I think you'll need to export them to Address Book; this can be done by exporting from numbers as a .csv file and importing to address book.

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How can we make a Grouping of Invoices in DME file by Vendor.

Dear.
We have created own DME format to correspond with CITI bank.
Payment proposal docs are currently showing "summarized" by vendor as expected.
However, DME text file do not show as proposal does.
How can we create DME file , grouping invoices by vendor in one line-text format as proposal shows.?
Where should I go to check ?
Sincerely,
Mr.DME.

Ok,
Let me take this example.
Supposing A vendor with 3 AP open items, B vendor with 2 AP open items.
When making a payment proposal, SAP shows only 2 lines, namely, collected by vendor code.
Looking at DME file, however, it shows 5 lines which means all individual open items.
What we want to make is 2 lines in DME file, which means grouping invoices by vendor in a DME file.
Hope it makse sense.

I don't know about NTSC but there is a nice PAL solution for SD 16:9 for ordinary DVDs. The 16:9 image becomes 720x576 pixels. So the pixels are each quite wide, and the horizontal resolution is less than the vertical resolution, but at least no pixels are wasted as with letterbox.
A semi-solution is to make a HD-DVD. That format has been abandoned but Apple software pretends otherwise. Apple Compressor does compressions at around 20 Megabits/second data rate specifically for HD-DVD, and Apple DVD Studio Pro makes HD-DVDs. For short projects, less than around 30 minutes, the HD-DVD can be made on a normal DVD. (I did this for a 40 minute project by cutting the bitrate somewhat.) The quality is almost equal to Blu-Ray, but who can play it? People with well equipped Apples can.

How can I make PSE8 to read "Rating" from XMP files?

Hi, I'm trying to share "Rating" perameter between Lightroom2 and Photoshop Elements8.
PSE8 can't seem to read the perameter from XMP files created by Lightroom2.
I did following steps.
1. (Lightroom2) Configure a camera RAW file named aaa.cr2 and rate it as five stars.(I use a Canon DSLR. )
2. (Lightroom2) Make a XMP file corresponding to the file. aaa.xmp is created in the same directory.
3. (Explorer and notepad) Open aaa.xmp with a notepad.exe and check "Rating" is set five.
4. (PSE8) Open aaa.cr2 as PSE8 Organizer. Its thumbnail is applied configured parameters by Lightroom2 such as exposure compensation to.
5. (PSE8) However, rating parameter in PSE8 orginizer still shows zero star.
It'a feature? Or something is strange?
Can someone help me?

Hi, John.
Follwing XML is one of my XMP file created by lightroom2.
I rated this CR2 file as three stars and <xap:Rating>3</xap:Rating> means it,
but PSE8 doesn't read this parameter even if I started Elements Orginizer.
When I select "update thumnail", Orginizer applys lighturoom2's effect to thumnail,
and Camera RAW plagin can open the file with all lightroom's effects applied. However, stars still shows zero.
Shoud I do something to make PSE8 to read it?

How can I keep the quality of an MP4 video high when I export an interactive PDF from InDesign?

I am making an Interactive PDF with embedded MP4 video using InDesign. When I view the video in the PDF it has degraded the quality and the colour contrast is poorly affected. I can have the video as a floating window but this gives a harsh black line around the video when it plays which is not acceptable.
Can anyone advise how to maintain the quality of the original video when it is embedded?

You can control the quality of the video (aspect ratio, pixel dimensions, frames/minute, etc.) by using the Adobe Media Encoder which comes with InDesign CS5 or later installations, including InDesign CC. InDesign only includes what you have placed and passes it on to the PDF file. There are no video quality controls in InDesign.
You cannot change the way Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the MP4. If you don't like the way Acrobat/Reader handles display of a floating window, then you'll have to display it within the page. For more info, inquire in the Rich Media Acrobat forum.
