How to read a DVD with a DVD_RTAV folder?

Hi Folks, A client brought us a stack of DVD-RW discs that they burned on a VCR/DVD combo unit. Unfortunately, they burned them all in VR mode which is not entirely compatible with most stand alone DVD players. Actually these discs aren't compatible with anything else at all. They will play back in the unit that recorded them, but not anywhere else. I have read in some other forums that you can open the DVD_RTAV folder and pull out the .vro file, change the extension to .mpg and be able to use that file to produce a normal dvd. Unfortunately, when I put any of these discs into my Mac, the DVD_RTAV folder shows as being empty. It also has a red circle with a white dash through it. I've tried MPEG StreamClip and several other utilities to try to find the .vro files but nothing sees anything in the folder. I even used Terminal to have the Finder show invisible files, still nothing.
The one thing that did work was to use Toast. It recognized that there were video files on the disc and allowed me to add them to its Media Browser window. From there I was able to add them to a new blank disc image and save the image. The image then mounts as a normal DVD. The only problem is Toast is apparently doing some type of encoding in the background, so it took a very long time to do this, and I'm guessing I lost a bit of quality during the process.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to extract the content from these discs in order to make a normal DVD?
Thanks,
Chris

"The .VRO format is for streaming real-time DVD recordings that contain both video and audio. When generated, these files are also accompanied by .IFO files which provide information on where the .VRO files can be found.
Files in the .VRO format can be converted to the more popular and widely supported .VOB format using an application such as VOBTool or AuthoringWare DVD Integrator.
It is reported that changing the extension from .VRO to .VOB makes the format compatible in some software although we advise you create a backup of the files(s) first."

  • How to read a DVD with a external drive, how to read a DVD with a external drive

    Hello
    I replaces my internal DVD drive with a SSD drive.
    When I start the dvd program player or a software like Toast, I get , of course, an error message.
    I saw on internet the way to edit (with HewFiend program) and change this
    /Système/Bibliothèque/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/version/A/DVDPlayback
    but it still doesn't work.
    How can I use an external DVD drive ? (and burner)
    thanks

    No doubt it would be cheaper to add an External like a Lacie or one from any number of manufactures
    You can if you choose have a new CD/DVD Drive and burner installed and there are several different vendors that will do this for you or you can do it your self.

    Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
    Hope this helps you.

  • How to Burning A dvd with 5.1 audio ?

    I have had I nightmare with the compressor application trying to burn 5.1 audio and the film together had no luck . I wonder what does a guy do to listen to 5.1 files in his home cinema set up ? I know that I can bounce the 5.1 audio into the film in logic but have can I burn a dvd with the 5.1 audio and film and take it home and listen to what I have done in a none studio environment ?
    Would much appreciate some help on this cause frustration is not the word to discribe me going nuts for like 5 hours trying to figure out how that none musical program works .....
    Thanks for any feedback ...

    You need Final Cut Studio to burn 5.1 on mac. (DVD Studio Pro, to be specific)
    Yes, IMO Apple really sells Logic users short on 5.1. Sure you can author, but no delivery platform unless you pony up $$$ for FCS.

  • How to Create a DVD With No Menu?

    hi there.
    i've had DVD Studio Pro for a while and never used it.
    would it be to hard to give me a step-by-step guidance on how to create a DVD from a QuickTime file in DVD Studio Pro (initially, in the form of a VIDEO_TS folder or IMG file) with no menus at all, so that it's played straight away once inserted into a stand-alone DVD player?
    anyone, please?

    If you are starting in SD and can use compressor, that works better: there are more knobs to twist to adjust the results to your liking. Going from HD to SD, I think compressor or a third party encoder is a must. Just too many things to tweek to get it right for the video you shot.
    AC3 has another advantage in addition to file size: bit rate. There is a limit on what DVD players will handle - usually less than 10mb/s. And if you can have video + audio well under that, you disc will be compatible with more players. If can always put both on the DVD, and use a menu to let a user pick one, but you don't want menus yet, as you said. Many music DVDs do just that: PCM for best fidelity (it is noticeable on a really high end system that most mortals don't have), or DD, even 5.1 for everyone else.
    Encoding: I use 7.5mb/s max for video, and adjust the "average" depending on how big my video is; I've used as low as 4.2 for stage plays and it was not too bad. If you have a short video, you might use CBR (contstant bit rate) at 7.5 for the best quality. I likewise adjust my AC3 bit rate; 192 stereo where I must save space and the original sound quality was not great anyway, up to whatever the max is (384, I think).

  • How to create a DVD with 2 separate movies?

    I'm a coach - and as I break down game film for my team, I'd like to distribute a single DVD with an Offensive film and a Defensive film, on a single DVD.  Once I edit the original clips, I usually have about 20 minutes of offense, and 25 minutes of defense.  Is it possible to open a DVD menu, in PE and just drag/drop my two films into the menu?  I've already made the separate films - just can't find a way to put them on the same DVD - with separate launch buttons.
    Please advise - thanks.
    Coach B.

    In Premiere Elements, it is the placement of the menu markers at the Timeline level in Edit that is going to be the important first step. There placement at the Timeline level will determine how they are represented (linked to) the buttons in the menu(s). The menu markers for this are going to be main menu markers and stop markers as per details.
    1. Setting up the Timeline.
    Place a main menu marker at the start of the first file of Offense Section.
    Place a stop marker at the end of the last file of Offense Section.
    Leave a few frames gap between the end of the Offense and the start of the Defense.
    (You cannot sit one marker on top of another)
    Place a main menu marker at the start of the first file of Defense Section.
    DO NOT place a stop marker at the end of the last file of Defense Section.
    2. As shown in the blog post to which I referred you for background information, there are two types of buttons we could use for Offense button and Defense button on the main menu. Let us start with using just the thumbnail type button.
    For now we will be assuming the end product as DVD-VIDEO Standard (4:3) on DVD disc.We will use the Sports/(AV)Extreme theme and do some file switching.
    a. You need to get copies of the following files from the Program Data
    sportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd
    sportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd
    They are copied at their saved located
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    Online
    DVD Templates
    All_Lang
    Sports
    and in the Sports Folder are those two files cited above which you copy and paste to an empty folder that you created on the computer desktop.
    b. Switch the file names so that the main menu has the scene menu design and vice versa. And, modify the names so that you do not mix up these modified files with anything else.
    So, you want to end up with a folder name mysportchannel on the computer desktop
    and in that folder are the two files who names you switched and changed.
    sportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd is changed to mysportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd
    and
    sportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd is changed to mysportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd
    Take the desktop mysportchannel folder with these modified files and place it in the following spot in the following path...
    Local Disk C
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    DVD Templates
    Common
    and in the Common Folder place the mysportchannel folder.
    When you go to select this theme in the Movie Menu customization of the opened project, look under the Slideshow catagory.
    You should be looking at something like this in the Movie Menu customization area
    Lots ot fine tuning yet to be done, detail wise.
    1. Is your end product, DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9.
    2. Do you want the music background that comes with the original main menu?
    3. Do you want a Play All opportunity? This one allows for pick one or the other then return to the
    main menu.
    Please review the above. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
    Thanks.

    Try reposting that with tags (replace the {'s with ['s).
    Long story short, I think the FAQ and examples would go a long way towards explaining this, but you basically can check the content type, or check if the content contains parts, and parse each part separately.

    Ah, got it.
    Since you have Compressor I would guess you also have DVD Studio Pro. Anyway a quick movie showing how to do it. Drag the m2v and audio into the asset bin (you will see it in the lower left of the movie) then it goes through the steps. Note the audio and video streams are not the same length, I just threw it together quickly to show you. Of course menus can be fanbcier and all the rest and there may be some gotchas in the details, but it will generally work. Also make sure to set a First Play for the disc. Usually it is good to have a small couple seconds of black frames or warning on a track before jumping off to the next thing, and you can set the Track to be first play in this case if you like. try to use good media (DVD-R/+R) brands like Taiyo Yuden, cheaper media can cause issues.

    Well there are alot of things to take into consideration, but that should give you a good jump start

    hi
    I understand your issue, to pickup an IDOC flat file & post it to R/3 (with or without mapping).
    There is no straight forward solution but there are some ways (Normal way of Working as of now ?!!!) provided in the "How to"
    check this link
    https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/nw-howtoguides
    and look for this guide
    How To Convert Between IDoc XML and Flat Files in XI.30
    Probably you need to automate this using some programs,
    - Create an ALE port of type File
    using transaction WE21 on your
    Integration Engine.
    - Run report RSEINB00 on your
    Integration Engine. The report will
    upload the file, filter the IDoc header
    data, perform the conversion to IDoc
    XML and put the data into the
    pipeline of the Integration Server.
    Therefore it is crucial, that the IDoc
    control record data is populated
    correctly and corresponds to the
    adapter-specific identifiers of your
    sender service. Once the message
    is put successfully into the pipeline
    of the Integration Server, the file is
    deleted.
    Hope this fixes your issue

  • HOW TO CREATE VIDEO DVD WITH ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER

    I AM NEW TO ADOBE PREMIERE. AFTER SOME HOURS OF LEARNING FINALLY I FINISHED EDITING 30 MIN OF VIDEO. NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO OUTPUT TO DVD ( VIDEO DVD ) TO PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS. PLS HELP.

    Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
    If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
    What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
    Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
    Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there

    I want to burn a DVD with several short video projects so that it will run without stopping in between.

    Hi

    Play All Button
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    • Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
    • Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

  • How do i burn dvd with no menu - just play?

    hello,
    I need to burn a dvd with no menu, so that when it plays, it goes straight to movie...
    thanks,
    steve

    Steve - import your asset into DVDSP so that it appears in the assets tab. When imported (and the button shows green), drag the footage into the time line. This sets the footage into 'track 1'.
    If you look in the outline view you will see Menu1 and Track 1 listed. menu 1 is the default choice for 'First Play' - if you now click on the disc icon at the top of the outline view then look in the property inspector you will find another way of setting 'First Play' - simply use the option to select the track instead.
    If you control+click on the track icon in the outline view (or in the graphical view for DVDSP 3+) you get the option to set First Play there too - simply select the words at the top of the contextual menu.
    Check here too:
