HT200024 Bringing footage from hd cameras into idvd but encoder creates a picture that overscans tv screen. How to properly format to fit screen

How can I format idvd to correctly format hd video for tv screen. My dvds are overscanning the screens on different dvd players. Would also like to know how really to use files in dvd studio pro on my old g5 d desktop. I need to use new hd cameras for projects but don't understand how to encode or format correctly to fit screen. Everything overscanned (losing a lot of picture and menus (too large)!

If you  add the video clips to an iDVD slideshow and set the preferences to Scale photos to TV Safe area you can get rid of the overflow.  However, you may experience letterboxing of the clips:

  • How to bring footage from my DVD into FCP

    Hi,
    I REALLY need some help! I edited my film in FCP and burned in DVDSP, the same goes for the raw footage. They are both now on a DVD. My problem is that I let my friend borrow the raw footage tapes (bad mistake I know!) and now he cannot find the tapes. So I want to know if it is possible to take the raw footage back off the DVD without loosing any quality, and to bring it back into FCP? Thanks SO much for the help!

    Without losing ANY quality? Sorry, quality was lost when you encoded for DVD. More quality will be lost when you rip the footage off the DVD, and more lost again when you encode again for DVD.
    Sorry bud. Gotta press your friend more.

  • Importing footage from JVC camera in FCP6

    Hi all,
    I am working with a JVC Everio HD camera (I think it is the GZ-EX250).  I can't find a way to import footage directly into FCP6. It seems the only way to get the footage in there is to import it into iMovie (I have iMovie 8), then export it as a Quicktime, and then import the Quicktime into FCP. I've done this with footage that was shot using this camera in SD mode. My understanding is that if I want to shoot in HD that I'll havge to convert the footage before bringing it into iMovie. Seems like a pretty cumbersome process. Maybe I'm missing something. Does anyone know how to import my HD footage from this camera directly into FCP6?
    I hope my explanation makes enough sense for someone to give me a good answer. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks very much in advance!

    Great tutorial - easy to follow. I notice I only had two preferences listed for importing - there was no setting for Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) so I used Apple ProRes 422. Is the lack of choices because I'm using FCP6 not 7, or do the preferences get added as you hook up different cameras? At any rate, thanks for the help!

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

  • I-photo:  I used 2 cameras to take pictures on a trip --- i have put the pictures from both cameras into an album --- when i click on view and then sort by date, the pictures do not sort by date --- any ideas on how to get the pics sorted by date?

    Select all the photos that you need to change, then click the "Photos" menu and choose "Adjust Date and Time".
    If you add a year, it will adjust all the photos that you selected by adding a year (so if you accidentally select one of the photos that already has "2012", that will change to "2013"). 

  • How do I download images from a camera into Photoshop Elements 7?

    Previously I've  downloaded digital images directly from my camera into Photoshop Elements 7.0  In trying to do that today, I go to "File", choose "Get pictures from Camera", then see a "source" box, with an instruction to "Get Pictures from:" and offers a "source" box for choosing.  The single "source" listed is my printer, not my camera!  Am I doing something wrong? Is Photoshop defective?
    Please help me out.
    Gene F.

    Hi Gene
    Yes Elements is defective.
    There are known bugs with the photo downloader, notably if you run the program on a net book or laptop with minimum screen resolution.
    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) will not.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

  • Problem importing footage from Canon XF305 into fcp

    I have footage from a card having recorded on a Canon XF305. I literally dragged and dropped card onto my desktop making sure not to change any file names. I am now trying to import this footage from my desktop into fcp. I have downloaded the canon fcp plugin but everytime I try to import the footage using the canon plugin preferences I get an error message which reads... "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. Can anyone help me??

    Hi there,
    I've had no joy with this. Have tried everything. Just can't get footage into fcp any way I try. I have downloaded the plugin but I still get the same error message. "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    My work flow is as follows.
    Open final cut pro. Go to log and transfer. Go to preferences within the log and transfer window and click on Canon XF plugin. Then go to import. Click on file on my desktop which is labeled as CLIPS001. Then error message comes up.
    Memory card was dropped directly onto my laptop and onto a back up drive without changing any file names. Was thinking this would be straight forward.
    Any help will be hugely appreciated. Am I missing something simple?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • My photos won't import from my camera into iPhoto

    Just recently my photos are not able to upload from my Canon camera into iPhoto, but it was working before.
    When I plug the USB camera into my Mac the device shows up on the sidebar column in iphoto, it will say "Loading Photos" with the little circular waiting symbol and then it will just go to a blank grey screen.
    If I try to click on any of the options under "File" or "Edit" they are all greyed out.
    I'm not sure what the problem is since the camera is clearly connecting and being ready by iphoto and starting the import, but then it just stops. There are definitely pictures on the camera to import because I can view them on the camera.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know how they might be able to help? Everything seems to be working except for the last step.

    Can you access the imges on the card with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?
    I would try reformat the card with your camera.
    Regards

  • Since I downloaded the latest PSE12 update, when I download images from my camera into Organizer on my iMac, the application freezes.

    Since I installed the latest PSE12 update, when I download images from my camera into Organizer on my iMac, the application freezes.  If I "force quit" then it seems to download them, but will do nothing else, including verifying and deleting the images from my camera.  It worked fine prior to the update.

    Dear Steve--
        You are the man--a true Apple genius. Your suggestion worked.
        Thanks you so much.

  • I put the sdcard from my camera into the large disc slot and it is stuck!!

    I put the sd card from my camera into the large disc slot and it is stuck. I've tried shaking it out.

    The safest option is to take it into an apple retail store or an authorized service provider. It is a bad idea to stick things in the disk drive to try to get the SD card out and risk any more possible damage.

  • HT4858 with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    To my knowledge, pictures in photo stream stay there untill there is more than 1000 of them, then after that the oldest ones are removed from photo stream.  If your photos have synced to your devices via photo stream or manual syncing they will be there until you elect to delete them.

  • How do you combine footage from multiple cameras in Premiere Pro?

    I am making a documentary using footage from multiple cameras-- including DSLRS, a Panasonic HP170, and some other cameras.
    All footage is shot in 1080p and same frame rate but when I upload all the footage, the footage from the DSLRs looks choppy.
    What is the most efficient way to combine this footage and edit it together?

  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.
