Importing DVD files to DVD SP

A couple weeks ago, I posted a question about importing a DVd file from a DVD recorder into DVD SP so that I could change the menus and generally clean it up. The suggestion was to use MPEG Streamclip to export. I did that, but when I did it, I either got a "muxer bitrate too high" message, or video read error. I tried "export to m2v and aiff. any further suggestions?

Hi
Try encoding the audio AIFF files to Dolby 2 (AC3) using Compressor. That will save a lot of bitrate.
Hope that helps !

How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

Hi,
I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

Two ways…
Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
Or better yet:
Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
Good luck.

Importing .ts files into DVD Studio Pro

Hi,
I've downloaded a MPEG2 file which has a file extension of .ts
DVD Studio Pro and Compressor don't seem to like this file extension. Can anyone tell me the best way to get it into DVD SP please?
I tried importing it into MPEG Streamclip, but there doesn't seem to be a MPEG2 export option there.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon

It could be a muxed MPEG file, in which case, you'd need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert to and elementary MPEG-2 (.m2v) video file and an AC3 or AIF audio file. Import the resulting two files into DVD SP.

Importing IMovie File into DVD Studio Pro 4

I used to be able to import the index file from an IMovie project into DVD Studio Pro quite happily.
Today the application freezes on the import progress window, with no files appearing in the asset window.
I have to force quit the application to get out of it.
Can anyone advise how to resolve this issue ?

If you haven't changed anything on your system, then it would appear that you have one of two things.
Most likely, your preference files have be come corrupt, or second, your Application or application resource file for DVD SP have become damaged.
Try first to toss your DVD SP preferences, if this doesn't do it, then you should uninstall DVD SP and then reinstall with all of the updates before trying again.
If you have tried creating a new project from scratch and the problem persists, then read on.
If that doesn't do it, then there's a very slight possiblility, that there may be an issue with the QucikTime files of the OS, and keep in mind, (this is a very remote possibility) you may have to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS and apps. from the original disks, but only after everything else fails, (THIS IS A DRASTIC LAST DITCH EFFORT.)

Importing Video Files from DVD and the net onto final cut express 4

2 questions:
1st: Ive imported a video file downloaded from the net to practice editing, but once I have done that, the video file has no audio? how do I get the audio for those files?
2nd: I had ripped some video files from my university film project onto my laptop, but I cant Import the files into final cut express to further edit it (because it was a group project), because its the wrong format and stuff. How do I fix this and allow it to be imported?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers

ohk cool, wat about my first problem with the sound not being imported?
Most likely the file is multiplexed. That means the audio and video are rolled into one. Same thing applies as the other post, the file needs to be in a format that FCE recognizes. Streamclip may do it, depending on the type of file of course.

Can't Import MP4 Files Into DVD Studio Pro

I'm trying to start a DVD Studio Pro 4 project, and have .mp4 video files. When I import them with the Assets>Import tab, they come in as MP4 audio files only, not movie files. The users manual says the integrated encouder auto encodes Quick Time assets into DVD compliant formats with default Compressor settings ... but that is not happening. The MP4s play fine when I double click and open them in Quick Time Player, or post them on line they work fine in a browser. I'm confused, how do I import them to work in DVD Studio Pro? BTW, I did not create them in FCP, nor do I know how to use Compressor yet. I have MPEG Stream Clip but don't know how it would help. Thanks, Tom, Miami.

Use compressor to convert them to m2v and ac3 files before bringing them into DVDSP.

Trouble importing QT Files in DVD SP

I have a 5 minute clip that I want to export as a Quicktime movie. I am then going to bring it in DVD SP. it is 1440 x 1080i HDV
I selected my Timeline
I went File ---- Export ----- Quicktime Movie.
I kept Current settings, Audio and Video and Chapter Markers/ It is also self contained movie.
I exported it and tried to import it into DVD SP.
It will not. It keeps telling me "Incompatable Format."
Why?
When I bring in a 720 x 480 video, it imports fine.
Thanks in advanc

The HD encoder in DSP ( which hasn't been updated in like 6+ years) wants to see 1280x720 or 1920x1080 in a QT format friendly to 2005.
The only problem being HD-DVD is a dead format so the only option would be SD. The DSP encoder to my knowledge wasn't designed to down-convert HD to SD. Compressor would be the best option available for said task.
If you want to keep your final movie HD you would have to look outside of DSP via Blu-Ray.
Compressor & Toast have some very simple options for BR but be aware your chapter markers may not carry over and BR from Compressor can start to lose quality when you compress for show over 40 minutes in Compressor.

Importing vob files into dvd studio pro 4

hi
any help please ?
i have a project ,where i have a dvd already made and i now need to ad extra features to it,
with the original dvd i have only the video ts folder to go with.
i cant inport the vob files ,i changed the extensions to mpeg,mpg,mv2
all were not able to be imported,tried idvd no luck.
seeing that the vob files are mpeg2 i would expect that dont need to be converted ,but is it something to do with the audio files needing to be separated?
cheers
i find this forum wonderfully useful

The files do need to be demuxed/reconverted into a usable format.
There's a free program people tout all the time when people ask this question: MPEG Streamclip.
I use Cinematize as I feel it has more 'finessing' options: http://www.miraizon.com/products/products.html

H.264 HD MOV file in dvd studio not importing?

I have an H.264 HD video (1,440 x 1080, 16 x 9). I was able to import into FCp and export out to quicktime successfully yet when I attempt to import this file into DVD Studio it shuts down as it tries to import, throwing an error? Any ideas.

I'm having the same problem when attempting to produce an HD DVD as recommended by Rick Young.
I have no difficulty in burning an HD DVD using MPEG compression, but I'm unable to get DVDSP to accept an H264 file created using compressor (H264 for DVDSP setting). The .mov file when brought into DVDSP4 is seen only as an audio file; it plays as video in QT and also in iDVD as expected. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

How to import archived images from DVD's

I have had a problem for some time (since LR 1.3) importing saved files from DVD's, or CD's. I am on Windows XP SR2. If you try to import more than one file from a DVD by selecting File/Import from disk, and then select files on a disk drive, it will not import them. One file at a time works, but not more than one file. I have been copying them to HD, then importing them. But today, after looking at the new Lightroom community help system site, I found a technique that works. Instead of hitting File/Import, go to Start/My computer, then select drive to import entire disk. Or select images, and DRAG them into Grid View. They will all import fine. Hope this helps others that have had this problem.

Hmmm. My 'puter ain't got no "Start/My computer" !!
A very useful tip for PC guys 'n' gals. Thanks from a Mac guy, and when -or if- I import from a DVD it may help.

Import A. Pack to DVD Studio 3 Crash

Hi,
Since installing Tiger I've found that when I import AC3 files into DVD Studio Pro 3, it automatically crashes. This sometimes happens with other files.
This problem means that DVD Studio is virtually useless. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might solve the crashing?
Many Thanks,
Pete Cooke

Hi Pete - welcome!
Sounds to me as if you are being bitten by not installing the ProApplication Support from Apple that was released shortly after Tiger hit the streets. You really need to have this installed... check here for the Tiger version:

Import DVD Files

I can't import files from a DVD or from my HD camera. I'm trying to make the highest quality videos possible and being that I can't import from my camera directly I was hoping I could burn the videos to DVD and then import the files from the DVD for editing. Please help!
Thanks!

I don't know about the original post but I have FCE, MacBook Pro running Leopard and can import the Video_TS files but they load without audio. I converted the video to QT and that would not import at all.

DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 crashes when import m2v files...please help me

All of a sudden, DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3. doesn't like any of my m2v files created by Compressor 2.0.1
these are the same m2v files I imported and burned into DVDs a couple months ago...and any new m2v files I create with Compressor...cause DVD Studio Pro to crash
DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 will import old m2v files that I created a couple years ago using DVD Studio Pro 2 - and any new audio files created with Compressor and quicktime files from Final Cut Pro 5.
I have 1.5 GB of RAM...my drives are not too full...this was all working fine until recently and I can't see what has changed.

You can't download for the upgrade 4.1 is the Universal Binary and only part of the entire studio

Can't import file into DVD studio

Hi we just wrapped up a video which needed closed captioning. The company doing the closed captioning sent us a .SCC extension file which is what I'm supposed to use to embed the captioning into the video it is going along with. Unfortunately when i unzip the file it opens up with Graphics Convertor. I tried to drop it into DVD studio Pro and it won't register. Does any one have any information on working with .SCC extension files and DVD studio
Thanks
Victor

I have had little success importing the .scc files as line 21 captioning. Once the zip is expanded, you can try importing the .ssc file by selecting the track and clicking the "import line 21" button in the inspector. If that does not work, you may be able to convert the data to the appropriate data format for importing as a subtitle stream instead.
hope this helps -
