How do you keep a 23.98 file from switching to 29.97

I have exported an mpeg-2 file from compressor using the 23.98 setting, and am trying to maintain the 23.98 frame rate in dvd studio pro- when exporting out of compressor as m-peg 2. You are supposed to be able to send it as 23.98 to dvd studio, and dvd players are able to decode it from 23.98 to 29.97- so you (the dvd author) get faster encode times, and more data storage and higher data rates-- I am having trouble somewhere between compressor and DVD studio pro: getting it into dvd studio as 23.98- it just keeps auto converting it and registers in the video asset window at 29.97 in dvd studio, after I have set it to export from compressor at 23.98. I am not sure if this is a compressor problem or dvd studio...
from the compressor Manual
"About 24p from p. 133
Film-based movies have a native frame rate of 24fps, and because the mpeg-2 format is able to represent 24fps video internally, many commercial movie DVDs are encoded in this way.
Compressor can also do this for 24p source video files. For such material, the 23.98 frame rate option (in the Video Format tab) compresses each source frame one-for-one, without compressing repeated frames or fields in order to achieve a 29.97 fps display rate. This results in higher quality at a lower compressed bit rate than would be possible if the 24p material were converted to 29.97fps prior to transcoding. Compressor also sets internal MPEG-2 frame flags correctly, so DVD players will properly apply the 3:2 pull-down process for display on 29.97fps interlaced NTSC TV sets

I have always appreciated hometheaterhifi.com and the way they explain things. Based on their good articles, I was able to put together a killer home theater for a reasonable price. So thanks for the link. I have an understanding on what they are explaining, however, my question has to do with comparing my results with professional outputs.
When I choose what format I want my DVD to be made in, I choose progressive scan and remove any trace of interlace options. So there should be no need for 29.97 anywhere. Even the DVDSP manual says I have a choice between 23.98 and 29.97 display in NTSC. (ie DVD Studio Pro User Manual > Preparing Assets > Preparing Video Sources)
I would look at a professional movie on my progressive scan DVD player (or my iMac DVD player), wait for a good slow pan, then pause. Clicking one frame at a time, I see the following frame progression...
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc
My original video footage will do the same thing. A smooth pan with all frames lining up properly. However, post DVDSP, I get the following results on my progressive scan DVD creation...
1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,8,9,10, etc This is what the articles calls "judder".
Now, if DVDSP is indeed a PRO application, I should be able to get the same results as the professionals do with their DVDs, correct? Why can't I get a 24fps output like they can with their movies? Why am I forced to accept a duplication of every 4th or 5th frame that jutters up my smooth pans?
The manual says that if your asset is 23.98, it will be rendered as such on output, but this is not the case. My M2V files will not import at all into DVDSP, and my original footage gets converted to 29.97. So therein lies my angst.
Mind you, I am not trying to be provocative. My way of getting to know all sides of an issue is to come at it in a debate-style way. I truly want to know and hope to create as professional a product out of DVDSP as I possibly can.

    How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

    Hello briggiebunny
    If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.

    The same way you would import any photo/video from a digital camera. Connect the iPhone to the computer and import the file. Then it can be played with Quicktime or any software that supports that file format.

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • How do you keep embedded documents during conversion from Word 2007 to PDF?

    Windows 7, with all available patches.
    Word 2007, with all available patches.
    Acrobat reader 9.3.2
    I have additional documents, spreadsheets etc embedded into a Microsoft Office Word document. When this document is converted to the PDF (using the Word PDF add-in interface) the embedded objects can no longer be opened and only appear as images. 
    Is there a way to retain the embedded document during the conversion so that they can be opened from within the resulting PDF?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks very much for your repsonse, it's much appreciated
    I don't have Acrobat X installed at this time so am not able to create or edit PDFs (other than from Word).  I understand that creating a PDF from Word may not be an Acobat issue per se, but thought that someone on this forum may have experienced a similar problem, hence thought I'd try my luck here
    I will do as you suggest and try an MS forum
    Thanks again

  • How can I keep my Cap 7 file from sending a 0 score to LMS?

    I have a Captivate 7 file for a training program.  The file includes some question slides for knowledge check/review purposes - however, we don't want the file to send a score (not even a 0 score) to our LMS.  We only want the LMS to reflect whether the user completed the course file or not.  So in each question slide, I set Quiz Properties to show 0 points 0 penalty and de-selected the Report Answers box.  I then set the Publish Settings to these (shots below) to prevent any score from being passed through - however, the file is still passing a 0 score to the LMS.
    So I tried just removing the question slides altogether and replacing them with regular slides that I programmed to mimic question slide functionality, but that didn't work either.  I was told to check all buttons/click boxes to ensure that none of them was producing any type of "report" to LMS, but none of them are set to report anything.  Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?  Will very much appreciate any advice anyone can give!  Thanks!

  • How do you stop the top of itunes from switching to importing/equalizer/etc

    Rather annoying, I want to monitor the progress of an import or keep the song playing shown but if you import songs in the background, itunes has the annoying habit to cycle between each infos.
    Is there a setting somewhere? Of course this only happens when you import songs, ie when itunes slows to a crawl.
    Any ideas?

    it's not possible to sync 2 ios devices
    but if you use the same appleID on both and sync with itunes on a computer or with icloud and wish to stop then you go into settings->icloud and settings->itunes & app stores
    and set them to use seperate appleID's

  • How do I keep fonts in my titles from switching?

    I select a font, style and size then they change. I noticed this was a problem back late last year but could not find a solution. Help.

    So you're overdue to update to the current version. After you do that, I'd suggest running Disk Utility and repair permissions. Then launch FCP and – with any luck – you'll be good to go.

    Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
    Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

  • How do you keep your VPN clients up to date?

    Hi, how do you keep your Cisco VPN clients up to date? Our users connect to a Cisco 3015 Concentrator. It needs to be as automatic as possible.
    Thanks

    Check this link,
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn_cli
    ent46/administration/guide/vcAch3.html
    Example:
    Steps to perform an automatic update for VPN client :
    ===================================================
    1. Download update-4.8.00.0440-major-K9 file on your PC from the link below and unzip it.
    http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/vpnclient-3des
    It will have the following files::
    - binary_config.ini
    - sig.dat
    - vpnclient-win-is-8.00.0440-k9.exe
    - vpnclient-win-msi-8.00.0440-k9.exe
    2. Create a webserver with a folder and move all the above files to this folder on webserver.
    3. Now on your vpn client create a new profile. This profile file will appear in the profiles folder of the vpn client. Copy this file to your desktop and zip it. Name the
    zipped file as profiles.zip. Delete the profile from the client.
    4. Make a copy of your binary_config.ini on your desktop. Rename it to new_update_config.ini. This is just to make sure its not saved as a txt file.
    Open the above file and write the following on it:
    [Autoupdate]
    Required=1
    5. Now move the new_update_config.ini and profiles.zip to the webserver. Once we browse to the webserver it should look like --
    http://webserver/~razshah/vpn_profile_update462/
    Index of /~razshah/vpn_profile_update462
    Name Last modified Size Description
    Parent Directory 09-Mar-2005 13:24 -
    binary_config.ini 09-Mar-2005 13:26 1k
    new_update_config.ini 11-Mar-2005 11:35 1k
    profiles.zip 09-Mar-2005 13:26 1k
    sig.dat 09-Mar-2005 13:26 2k
    vpnclient-win-is-4.6..> 09-Mar-2005 13:26 7.6M
    vpnclient-win-msi-4...> 09-Mar-2005 13:26 10.3M
    6. The concentrator is configured as follows:
    Client Type is Windows
    URL http://webserver/~razshah/vpn_profile_update462
    Revisions 4.6
    7. On your PC go to the VPN Client > updates folder. Delete the update_config file if its already there. This folder should have only autoinstall (this file will be added if update works) autoupdate header files.
    The update does take about 5 mins. To see the new file we have to close and reopen the client. Once connected make sure you are able to browse to the webserver and see all the files.
    1- Auto update runs only on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, all other client types update manually. Windows NT users get notified and can get an update manually from the update server.
    2- Remote users must have the VPN Client for Windows 4.6 or greater installed on their PCs to use the automatic update feature.

    ~JG

  • When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
    If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD.  For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

    lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
    I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

    Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
    The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
