How to Export to Format to Run DVD in a TV/DVD

I have a TV/DVD combo and I'm trying to run my Captivate project that I exported to a DVD...but I exported it as an .exe file and it won't play when I insert the DVD.  I even tried using an external DVD player and connecting it to the TV/monitor.
How should I export my Captivate project so I can run it as an endless loop and also be able to run it when I place my DVD in the DVD tray of the TV/monitor?
Steve

Captivate will export to avi. It's available in the Media tab of the publish window (in the same dropdown list as the exe option). I've used the option and while it works, the results are less than spectacular, particularly if you're trying to work with full motion recordings. The Help recommends not even trying your project is bigger than 800 x 600.
If you go ahead with the option, make sure before you start that the height and width of your project are even numbers. If you have an uneven number of pixels in your dimensions the project will hang while publishing with no error message to help you out (I spent days figuring out that one). Even without that it takes a while and uses serious CPU.
I’m sorry to say that since my projects were all greater than the recommended size, with long full motion recordings, I was forced to import them into Flash and publish them as the video from there. There are probably better ways but I had deadlines and a significant amount of wasted time behind me already.
Re looping: Publish > Preferences > Start and End. In the Project end section there’s a loop option. This will work for your swf. For video, you should just be able to put the dvd on repeat.
Hope some of this helps you out. I had a very frustrating time with this late last year, it’d be nice if I could save you some of that. Best of luck.

  • How to export Aperture slide shows to dvd player

    I'm finding plenty of iPhoto suggestions but nothing specific to Aperture.  When I export a slideshow using classic and its defaults the exported result is a .MOV file.  It won't play in the DVD.  I have not idea what kind of player will end up being the one of choice for the person I doing this for but I need a format that is universal,...if there is such a thing....AVI maybe?  Anyway I tried changing the default to Mpeg4 and the end product was still a .MOV.  The file Info says the codec is mpeg4 but since the extention is still .MOV I'm guessing it still won't play.
    Sure could use some help,
    Steve

    After you export from Aperture you need to add the movie to an iDVD project. iDVD is required to create a disk in the specific format that your DVD player requires.

  • How I export from HDV to SD (DVD)... What about HD versions suitable for Macs and Pcs?

    Hi,
          I have just finished editing a short movie based on some high res stills combined with some 1080i HDV footage.
       After completing the edit in CS4 (in a HDV 1080i environment) I went through Adobe Media Encoder in order to downsize and converting into an m2v file ready for my Encore project.
       As you probably well know this is far from satisfactory in terms of the down sampling capabities shown by AME as well as the lack of proper colour conversion.
    So, after giving up on the Dan Isaacs method, AVI synth didnt seem friendly to this user... as well as the inability of CS4 to frameserve..
    My solution was to exported the Microsoft AVI using the HUFFYUV codec at 100% - With Progressive scan, when ever I interlaced my output it showed obvious interlacing in my player, odd or even fields first...
    I then used VirtualDub to do the down sizing
    Finally Procoder 3 to convert to m2v.
    The results still have no proper colour conversion properties but look much sharper than the regular CS4 encode using AME
       OK, that took an eternity to discover and still leaves me with another problem.
    I want to export straight from CS4 to media type that can be played on both PC and Macs in HD.
    Before I go down another gruop of dead ends and trial and error discoveries, could anyone here suggest a recomended and successful workflow?
       Many thanks,
    Phil.

    let me see if I can help out a little here.
    The problem with converting 1080i to SD in software is that FCP seems to do a not-very-good job of downsampling the image, particularly when you are going directly to DV. Details get blurry, and other compression artifacts become quite noticeable. I have also experienced trouble with the HDV fields not getting processed correctly if I go to SD mpeg directly from an HDV timeline or movie file.
    Your best bet is one of the following workflows:
    Export a 1080i HDV or AIC movie file and re-import to FCP. Place this clip into an anamorphic SD sequence. It doesn't matter if the sequence is DV or Uncompressed if you send the sequence directly to Compressor from FCP, because this will ignore any rendered material and use an uncompressed image buffer as it encodes the mpeg. Do not letterbox your widescreen video if you are going to DVD - widescreen DVD video should always be full-frame anamorphic.
    Your other option is to attempt to use Compressor to down-res the sequence or a self-contained movie of your HDV, starting with one of the advnace format conversion presets in Compressor. However, you'll have to cutstomize the preset by turning on the frame controls, and testing the settings to make sure you are happy with the result. Turning on frame controls will increase the ratio of your encoding time anywhere from 4 to 20:1.
    I have tried all of these methods, and none of them look as good as capturing the downconverted video from the deck after mastering to HDV tape.
    Hope this helps -

  • Does anyone know how to export a slideshow to a dvd?

    I am trying to burn a slideshow in iphoto to a dvd and cannot get it to work...if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it please! Thanks!

    Also, do you have iDVD?  I think most versions of iPhoto should link directly to iDVD?
    You could use Audacity (a free multi track audio editor) to create a custom soundtrack.

  • How can I use the MPEG-2 DVD format for video rendering?

    I have been trying to make a DVD out of my brother's wedding footage, but I've run into a wall. I would like to render out my footage in the .M2V format (MPEG-2 DVD), but I'm not given the option to use it. The only MPEG format I'm given is the .H264, and that doesn't work as well. How can I install the .M2V codec?

    You should either:
    Render to a suitable production codec and then compress for DVD in your authoring application.Use the Render Cue to render a PhotoJpg at NTSC or PAL file using default frame sizes for your AE rendering composition, then drop in Encore for authoring.
    Open your AE project in Adobe Media Encoder, pick the composition you want to render from the list and pick the MPEG 2 for DVD preset.
    Open Adobe Encore, select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition and then set up your timelines and menu's as you like and select Build DVD.
    All DVD authoring programs will compress standard def video in just about any format for DVD. After Effects, however, will not do multi-pass rendering which is required for high quality MPEG compression.

  • If i export my project, it runs much faster than in the canvas. How can I fix that?

    If i export my project, it runs much faster than in the canvas. How can I fix that?
    I'm from germany, sorry for my english!

    When you export your project, it is "compiled" into video format. Any player will play it at its frame rate.
    Motion is a compositing application. It has to make many more times the calculations needed to animate everything and 90% of the time, it's just not possible for Motion to keep up with "real time".  It's to be expected. Learning to live with that fact will make life a lot easier for you, I promise.
    There are a few things you can do to help speed up Motion:
    Reduce temporary play ranges to no more than about 5 seconds at a time. You can move the Play Range In and Out markers from section to section. Motion does all of its real time rendering in RAM. The longer the play range, to more it has to work managing that memory.
    Remove Preview Icons from the Layers list ( View menu > Layers Columns > Preview will toggle the views)
    When you play your animation, turn off on screen guides: (command - / will toggle onscreen guides)
    In Motion 5, reducing the quality of playback from the Render menu does not make a lot of difference anymore, so you might as well keep the default settings of Dynamic, Full and Normal on. However, Motion Blur, Frame Blending, Field Rendering, as well as the lighting options will affect playback, sometimes by quite a lot. So if you have Lights, turning off Lighting, Shadows, and Reflections will get back a lot of real time playback speed (just remember to turn on all that you need before rendering, or these things will be left out of the export!)

  • I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
    See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

  • How to check the format (PAL or NTSC) of a DVD?

    I wonder if someone can tell me how to check the format (PAL or NTSC) of DVD’s that I receive from my friends around the world. Many of them have no marking as to the format... Is there some software that can do this?

    Hello Peace Freak,
    have a look at myDVDedit (http://www.mydvdedit.com). It's actually designed to do postproduction on a DVD, but will also display a lot of info, such as TV standard, 16:9 vs. 4:3, etc.
    Insert your DVD, then launch myDVDedit and open the VIDEO_TS folder contained in your DVD. Click the IFO tab to find the information you're looking for.
    hope this helps

  • How to export report IN CSV format through JAVA.

    how to export report in csv format.when try to export in csv format.its exporting into csv but report not containing column heading , report heading and it showing all the data in a single line.we have integrated the reports with java.

    Use a Java API which can create PDF files based on some collection of plain vanilla Java objects (List, String, Number, etc).
    Google can find them all. Just feed it with something like "Java PDF API" or so. A commonly used one is iText.
    That said, when talking about this in JSP context, ensure that you do NOT write raw Java code in JSP files using scriptlets. Raw Java code belongs in Java classes. In such case you need a Servlet. In JSP just use taglibs and EL to interact with backend Java code and data. Scriptlets are discouraged since over a decade.

  • How to export the result to excel or txt as the SQL result format.

    Hello Yucky,
    what do you mean by
    the format of it export is not the same to the result of Oracle result areaDo you mean the output of a tool other than SQL*PLUS?
    To enhance the formatting of a spool file you can set

    Hi,
    I need for upgrading Hyperion Planning 3.5 to 11.1.x.
    Please tell me how to export Hyperion Business Rules 3.5.1 to XML or 9.3/11.1 compatible format?

    I don't think there is an easy path to upgrade rules from that version as the format changed.
    You may in the end have to resort to copy and pasting the rule code.

  • How to export completed project to DVD?

    I've recently returned to the Mac world based on jobs and have compiled a birthday video for my father in law.  We are supposed to give him this video as a gift tomorrow night but I did the recent update to my iMovie and now am having trouble using the program.
    Can anyone help me figure out how to burn my completed project to DVD?  Under my Share command, the options listed are Theater, Email, iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport and File.  Any suggestions?  I tried saving it under the "File" option and then importing it to iDVD but it looks like the file saves as an mp4, which doesn't want to import to iDVD.
    Would love any help that can be provided!

    BUT
    As I see it - there are two KIND's of DVDs
    _ Data-DVD - to store files - Can not be played in any Standard DVD-player - and this is done on desktop/finder
    _ Video-DVD - for movies to be played on standard DVD-Players - and to structure and en-code this one NEED a DVD-authoring program as iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Roxio Toast™, Burn etc.
    So What kind of DVD do You need ?
    And if iMovie'13 (ver. 10.0.x) has NOT changed this. The Share to DVD will result in a Data-DVD (I do not have last version of iMovie to test - hench why I make this remark) but this goes for all iMovie till iMovie'11 (ver. 9.0.x).
