IDVD 6 PAL Video for use in an NTSC Country

Hi there,
I am putting together a hello video for my girlfriend who lives in Canada. I am from the UK and the content was shot here. I made the movies in iMovie and then setup my DVD in iDVD. My question is this:
The DVD I burned was in PAL format as opposed to NTSC. Will my girlfriend be able to view this DVD using a Canadian bought DVD player? If not, what do I need to do before trying again!
Many Thanks
Tony Hart

welcome alchemist to the  board...
no, PAL in NTSCcountries don't work; NTSC in PALareas do...
you should be able to choose in the settings of a new iDVD project "NTSC/30fps"... your imported PALfootage gets converted into NTSC via the QTengine...
BUUUUT:
.. I onced had a lot of stuff NTSC>>PAL, I made a short test with QT6pro... and with JES Deinterlacer which is a convetrer too... for my taste, the results with this FREE tool are much better...
export iM porject as QT/FullQuality
import that into JESD
convert
create iDVD with NEW footage.....
helpful?

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

Converting video for use on Sidekick

Good evening.
This might not be the right place to post this, but here goes...
I have a 24" iMac and would like to convert videos for use on my Sidekick LX 2009. The info on the Sidekick says it will play 3GP or MP4 (simple profile). I been trying to convert using VisualHub and HandBrake but to no luck. Any suggestions on how I can do a conversion, or what settings I need in these programs, or some other program to use?
Thanks for the help.

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

I'm traveling to Europe (France and Lithuania) with my iPhone 5s. I would like to buy a local SIM card for use while in each country. Some sources (Verizon phone support) say this is as easy as buying the card and inserting in place in the slot. Others (Apple Genius) say I must completely restore the iPhone if I replace the sim card. Still others say I cannot use a local sim card. Can you help me find the correct information? Thanks for your help.

That's a wonderful question, ssmiley67. The iPhone 5s comes unlock for international use. Many of our LTE devices are unlocked for international purposes and work upon inserting the international SIM in the device.

Capturing Computer Monitor video for use in FCP project.

I'm working on an industrial film for a company that makes websites, and they want to put in video clips of their websites. I'm looking for a good program that will allow me to capture my desktop and make FCP ready videos. It doesn't need to be free, it just needs to do what I need. I'm also looking for the right settings to set for those movies for use in a standard DV NTSC project.
Thanks in advance!

Exporting videos for use in PowerPoint

I have a seven minute video I am trying to export for use in a PowerPoint presentation. Everything plays fine - the video is more grainy that I would have liked - but the titles just show up as black screens. I can still hear the audio but it will just flash the words for a split second and then turn to a black screen.
Do you have any idea why this may be happening? Is there a different format I should be using or is it simply a PowerPoint problem?

I don't know what "Optimize Stills" means. When I say I'm very new at video editing, I mean brand new. I was able to put together a 45 second news-clip-style video of our latest staff function but this is pushing eight minutes and is an integral part of our organization's upcoming forums next Tuesday.
Do you think I should be contacting Microsoft about what the issue might be with PowerPoint, instead of worrying about my file?
The weird thing is, when I just Export-Movie, it comes out fine in Windows Media Player but wonky in PP. When I Export-Adobe Encode-WMV, it won't even open on my computer or play in Windows Media Player. Any suggestions on compressing the file further without any problems?

Converting RM files (Real Video) for use in iMovie

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can help me convert RM (real video) files for use with iMovie.
I have heard that ffmpegX is great to use. I went to their website, downloaded everything and got it up and running...but when I try to convert anything, it doesn't work. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
Any advice? Thanks.

Yes
I found a program but am experiencing lots of trouble with it. I was hoping that others could give me a better suggestion.
I've actually downloaded and installed ffmpeg but the problem I'm experiencing now is that the videos do not convert. The program starts to work and then three seconds later I get the dialog box that says everything has been converted but the file created is 0KB and of course will not open.
Any ideas about what could be going wrong? I've attempted to convert the files to different formats and try converting different files as well. I still have the problem.

Conver videos for use with my iPod 30g.

My videos loose their sound when they convert for use in my iPod. What am I doing wrong?

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

How to record video for use in IMovie?

Hello. I'm new to MAC & IMovie, and I would appreciate knowing how to capture my video recordings using my USB linked video camera, instead of FaceTime. I would like to record a series of videos, and then import them and edit them in IMovie. Thank you.

Hey videoiq2014!
Here are the instructions for achieving this goal:
iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14675
While the title of this article is meant for the FaceTime camera, in step 2, the article instructs you to choose the camera you wish to record with. In this step, you should choose your USB camera. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

How can one store hd video for use with ipad and apple tv?

I'm looking for solutions. I don't have a computer. Not interested in renting what i really like or collecting blu rays.
Buy enough hd video films from the store and the iPad runs out of hard drive. I could buy more storage from the iCloud. What else could I do? The new apple tvs don't have a hard drive for storage. Hypershop.com has a hyperdrive external drive for the iPad, but 720P, is that full HD? They also have a new kickstarter funded product cloudFTP which connects hard drives etc to the iPad wirelessly. Not sure if this would work ok.
Any other ideas?

There are some cables you can use. Depends on what model iPad you have and what interface is on the projector. You could also get a router to take with you and set up your wifi connection. There's some portable routers.
You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

How to convert MPEG videos for use on iMovie?

I filmed my drama assignment with my friend on her video camera, she gave me all the files on a USB and when I got home to start editing on iMovie, it says: iMovie cannot open files in the “MPEG movie” format.

I forgot to mention in a strange way there is not a straight standard format used by cameras as I discover In iMove and Final Cut Express. Mpeg is pretty standard but can be different. For example AVCHD or AVCHD Lite, Motion Jpeg on Panasonic. Each Camera uses similar names but the compression format maybe different and not compatible with iMovie. This why I like Toast, it converts almost anything to a useable format. But if your starting out the Camera Brand and Model is the key to finding compatibility with iMove. Since I have not used iMove in a while and don't know the new version go to the forum with Camera etc. and ask about compatibility. But Toast with some tries will most likely give you what need. This can be frustrating but you'll get there, it may take a little time. Also open the folder with files to see exactly what you've got. You really need to know exactly what you've got. I hope QuickTime work out for you

Exporting HD video for use on AppleTV and iPod

I use a Canon HV30 HD camcorder. Work in FCE. Also have QTPro. I typically export from FCE as a pure .MOV file, then do my conversions to other formats in QTPro.
To get good quality on my Apple TV, I use QTPro to export to Apple TV. But then that video won't transfer to my iPod Touch, so I have to do another export with QTPro with iPod as my target.
Is there a happy medium that will show good results on the AppleTV and iPod? Obviously this can be done with standard def video because iTunes videos look fine on both. I think the HD is what's getting me.
Thanks.

I would also like to have this question answered...
Additionally,
Is there a way to combine the SD and HD files similar to when you download a movie from itunes how there is one file entry in iTunes for both the SD and HD version. Also I noticed movies and TV you download from iTunes can transfer to your Ipod (even though they are over the ipod specs 320x240). Is there a way to export videos larger than 320x240 and can transfer to the Ipod.
Thank you in advance...

Exporting video for use in website

I know this topic has been addressed before, but after using the search feature, I wasnt able to really get anywhere for my particular situation.
I have used FCP HD to edit a 3.5 minute video. Now I want to export it so that it can be posted on a webpage. I exported it as a QT movie, using the H.264 codec, and a frame size of 320x240, and the file size is about 30 megs. The guy that does the website Im tyring to put this video on said to shoot for the 5-10 meg range. Is it possible to get this video down to that size range ? I have read before somewhere to shoot for about 3 megs per minute. That would put this 3:30 video around 10 megs. How can I get it smaller ?
And I also know that cutting size also reduces quality. I tried some other settings and got the file down to 18 megs, but that was using 15 fps and the quality did not look good.
Should I be using the H.264 codec for this, or is there any way to use a different codec that is more widely accepted and still achieve a small file size ?
Thanks.
Powerbook G4

So is 30 megs a reasonable size file for posting on a website ? Will that just make the download times longer ? And would it be better to set it up for streaming ? I know I've seen it many places where you just click on the movie link on the web page and the movie window pops up and begins playing the video as it downloads the rest. Is this actually downloading ? Im guessing it is either the "fast start" or the "streaming", but Im not sure which.
And I know I've read somewhere on this forum to expect about 3 megs per minute - is this referring to something else like wmv files or something ?
