How do I edit a DVD video in Final Cup Pro

Hey all,
I'm working on a project and I need to take the video on a DVD, bring it in to Final Cut Pro, add titles to it (text) and then output it to be burned back to a DVD.
I can't loose any quality either, so it has to look the same as it does on the original DVD, just now with text.
I've already looked around at other programs but none seem to work.
HanDbreak: This program takes FOREVER to encode the DVD. It said it was going to take 5 hours to rip a 90 min movie. Unacceptable.
ffXMpegX: This program simply doesn't work. When I attempt to press the "encode" button after picking my settings, it tells me to find a specific file before it can continue (?!)
MPEG Streamclip: This is being touted as the best by people on forums, but I find it to be the worst. The GUI is downright confusing as there isn't one! There aren't any options, buttons, settings, drop down menu's, fields or ANYTHING. In fact, this thing looks just like a bad video player. I dragged on dropped a .VOB file in there, it took it and the video appeared but there aren't ANY OPTIONS after that. Am I missing something?
MactheRipper: Okay, so this is alright for ripping the VIDEO_TS folder and that's about it. More or less pointless for what I want to do I guess.
So can anyone please help me? I really need to get this done.
Thanks

Not possible. FCP cannot edit DVD video, it needs to be converted. Conversion means quality loss. Then you edit, and convert AGAIN to DVD...more quality loss.
Want zero quality loss? You need to get a hold of the original material that was used to make the DVD.
MPEG STREAMCLIP...drop the clip in the box...the look in the FILE menu under EXPORT...There are your options. But this won't be zero quality loss. Again, that is not possible.

How do i edit a vertical video in final cut x?

i can't seem to get final cut x to edit in a vertical aspect ratio, is there any way to do this?

You can only edit in standard video formats. You could edit in a standard horizontal format and crop it in another application, but I think there would be some degradation in quality.

How can I get MPEG-2 video into Final Cut Pro X?

Hello! I have several MPEG-2 video files on which I need to perform some edits. When I tried to import them into Final Cut Pro, I learned that Final Cut Pro can't import MPEG files. Okay, so I went into QuickTime and exported one as 720p. 20 minutes later, I had a video that I could load in FCP. Awesome. Except that when I watched the video, the audio was waaaaaaaay out of sync. So, is there a different way I could get this MPEG-2 video into a format that FCP will like while keeping video and audio together?
I would keep trying a few different things without direction, but these videos are like 90 minutes long and the conversion process is lengthy.
Thanks!

Although I looked up the equipment, I couldn't find what kind of MPEG2. I'm assuming program stream.
I don't know why you had the sync problem with QT. You could bring it into FCP and detach the audio and manually line it up it's off by a constant amount.
Or you can use MEG Streamclip. You will also need the playback component, which is $20. Follow the instructions on the Squared 5 site to install it. Streamclip is worth having even if you don't use it this time around.
Good luck.

How do I create some black video in Final Cut Pro?

I am new to fcp having moved from premiere how do I create some black video in fcp please
Thanks
Derek

Drew's right - and another way is to go to the same "film strip" (generator) to the right bottom corner of the middle box (called the Viewer) and select "Matte" > "color". It is grey by default, but in the viewer under Control you can select black. This way of making black will not lay in audio tracks, only black on the V1 - video track, (unless you have select another video track.

How can I edit a VRO video file in Premiere Pro CC

I have a VRO video file stored on my windows based pc and would like to edit it with Premiere Pro CC. How can I get Premiere Pro CC to recognise this file and allow me to edit it?

Change the extention to vob or mpg maybe that will do the trick,
or google for the AVS Video Tools VRO Converter.

How Do I Edit iPhone 4 video in Final Cut Express

Every time I import video shot from my iPhone 4 I need to render it out once I place it on my time line. How do I get it to render realtime? I have loaded every sequence present and it doesn't work.
What time line settings should I be using?

Well at least I am not alone. Same result.
Which MB Pro? Specs?
I was thinking the playing of a QT file is the problem. I think FC has to convert on the fly. It's native format is DV isn't it?
The open timeline may take a bit more horsepower. I have a 7200 rpm internal drive so that's not the issue.
I can play it in the viewer slug though. They drop right into iMove and play fine.
May be iPhone video needs to be run through Compressor or QT Pro for a conversion? That's too bad if true.

How do I Edit a MPEG1 video clip with QT Pro?

I have several video clips from my Sony H-1 digital camera that I want to edit. They are in MPEG 1 file format. I have them on my iMac in iPhoto and when I open them in QT Player (bought the Pro key) the Edit features (cut, copy, delete) are greyed out and not usable. I read in another posting that MPEG 1 and 2 cannot be edited. Is this why my edit controls are greyed out? If so, can I convert my video files to something that I can edit? Any help would be most appreciated.

A bit of caution. You don't want "clipping" files as they are just still images dragged from a .mov file. You only get "time" if you drag a "selection".
Make a "selection" (timeline) and "drag" this over an existing, or new "blank" movie.
This new file will only show the timeline portion of the file but will be the same file size as the entire "original" MPEG format.
Using MPEG Streamclip will allow you to "edit" and convert to QT formats. These new files will be sized based on the data in the file.
On a Tiger machine you'll notice the green + symbol during your drag. Be sure to use Save As and make the new file "self-contained".
As broke as I am I need all the "free" tools I can find. MPEG Streamclip is now part of of my Mac tools. The conversion to DV Stream alone is great. Being able to control the size (dimensions) and use other export formats is a bonus.

Editing Music to Video in Final Cut Pro HD

Hey all,
Im pretty new to this software so hopefully u guys can help.
I want to stip the music off various types of video but keep dialogue and eventually add my own music. Is this possible using Final Cut? What about Soundtrack? Does it have to be a particular kind of video?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Matt

Matt,
If the master video source you have contains dialogue overlayed on top of the music (ie: one track) you cannot seperate them at all im afraid, the only way would be if the music track and the dialogue track were a seperate mix which will not be the case with standard VHS/Video 8 or a DVD. You can seperate the Video from the master audio, but thats about it im afraid.
What is your source material from - VHS?

How to show each color channel image of a video on Final Cut Pro X

Hi, Sir,
How to show each color channel (R or G or B) image of a video on Final Cut Pro X? I found this feature is useful for the image quality editing, such as the noise reduction.

Do you mean this?

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

Hi Cereskit
Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

Dvd created in final cut pro not working

I have created multiple Dvd's in Final Cut Pro X and never seem to have a problem. Yet with my most recent project I've run into a problem. The created Dvd's will not play on any of our dvd players, blue ray or regular player. The error message I am getting on some of them is "region not supported". But they will play on any Pc or Mac I insert them in. I burned the Dvd using the dvd function in Final Cut.
Any advise?

For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.
