Minimum steps of conversion from YouTube to PPro CS3

I have PPro CS3 on Windows XP.  I also have AE CS4, if it would be of any use for this problem.
I got permission from an owner of some YouTube video clips to use them in my video - I normally never do this (I'm very picky about using my own prosumer gear to shoot all my stuff), but I was desperate for certain footage.  Now I'm trying to keep as much of the quality as I can while converting it to the format that PPro uses.  So far I can't figure out how to do it in less than four conversions to get this ultimately onto DVD - there must be a better way!
The original video is 448x336 (a weird size, I know, but it's 300fps shot by a Sanyo Xanti).  The only program I found to get it off YouTube was something aptly called FreeYouTubeDownload.  The choices it has for saving non-HD video are h.264/FLV, h.264/MP4, or MPEG4/AVI, none of which can be imported directly into PPro.
So I thought I'd next try to convert them to DV-AVI.  I have tried four programs (three of which I already had installed when I had previously tried in vain to do something sorta similar) that were rumored on this forum  (here and here) to do the trick, but none work, at least for me.  VirtualDub won't open any of those formats, neither MPEG Streamclip nor Pazera Free FLV to AVI Converter appear to be able to output with the DV codec (despite being highly acclaimed for this job), and although SUPER appears to have the right kinds of selections, it takes a very long time to produce only a broken file.
The best workflow I could find is this - feel free to cringe when you read it:
In FreeYouTubeDownload, save the files as h.264/ MP4.
Use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to h.264/MOV, also enlarging them to NTSC resolution at the same time (yeah, I could do that in PPro, and that would logically be better, but somehow they looked clearer when I did them this way - is Streamclip's resampler actually better than PPro's?).
Import them into Premiere Pro, which of course converts them to Microsoft DV internally.
Enlarge them just a tiny bit more in PPro - 101% vertically and 103% horizontally - apparently when MPEG Streamclip enlarges them, it includes some black on the edges, perhaps because of the strange original resolution.
Later, as part of the song video, the data will be converted again to MPEG2-DVD.
Yuck!  Is there any way to improve this process?

Is there any way to improve this process
no
downloaded and tested your youtube downloader yesterday, tried handbrake and streamclip etc...conversions...(handbrake to mv4) ...though I dont know why you dont go right to avi from streamclip...it hardly matters...whatever you do it will be what it is...which is pretty horrible looking IMO but all you can do...so theres no other way to improve your process IMO
ps...some of PP exports for DVD wont look good on your computer ...you will need to burn a test dvd ( can use RW ) to see how it really looks
pps...m4v from handbrake ( no conversion of size at this point..just mp4 to mv4) imports to PP. If you wanted to experiment you could try using frameserver to deliver straight to virtualdub, and use filters in virtualdub to immediately go to your avi type 2 dv with size change etc ....but I haven't tried it.

While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system.

    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:

    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

    Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
    ""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
    ========================
    I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
    Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
    You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
    You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
    Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
    I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
    NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
    The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
    The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
    The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
    My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
    In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

    If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below - 
    Set a different number for the starting page
    Tip   To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
    On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
    On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
    Tip   To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
    Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
    Hide All
    If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet  you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
    Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat.  I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

  • How to download Halloween videos from YouTube?

    <By Jenny>
    It is that time of year again, the exciting Halloween! Since activities in these days are wonderful, unforgettable, impressive, crazy, and fantastic, lots of them are recorded in the form of videos and uploaded to YouTube for sharing with all the people worldwide. Do you fall in love with some interesting, meaningful and unique video files about Halloween, and want to download them as your own collections so as to enjoy them in the leisure time? If so, this thread will definitely do you a favor, for it will instruct you how to download Halloween videos from YouTube in detail.
    The software we will use here is Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], which is free for downloading, if you want to convert the downloaded FLV YouTube Halloween videos to other formats, you should use its retail version, if not, there will be watermarks of Pavtube stamped in the output files.
    Okay, now let’s begin.
    1. Download Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], install and run it.
    2. Add URL, select output format
    After launching, press “Add URL” in the main interface of this program, and then the following interface will pop up. Copy and paste URL of the Halloween videos which you want to download from YouTube into the textbox after “URL”. If you only want to use its downloading function totally for free, you should check “Only Download FLV source file”, and uncheck “Keep FLV source file”, on the contrary, if you want to convert it to other format while downloading as well as keeping the FLV source file, you should tick the checkbox of “Keep FLV source file” in advance.
    Imagine you’d like to do downloading and converting work simultaneously, in that case, you should click on the drop-down list of “Convert to” to select an output format, here I choose “iPhone MPEG-4 640X480(*.MP4)” as an example.
    Also, there are two more optional steps, namely, specify output file name and save path. Factually, this program will generate a file name and destination folder by default automatically, if you don’t like using these ones, you can type your preferred file name into the textbox after “Save as” and click on the ellipsis icon at the opposite side of “Save to” to specify a path to store the output files.
    3. Custom
    This program allows users adjusting video and audio parameters like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, etc. You can configure all of these items according to your own requirements. For instance, if you need change the output files to have a smaller size, and do not mind the output quality, you can adjust these parameters into smaller figures.
    4. Click “OK” to start downloading and converting
    Once all the above settings are done, you can now click “OK” button to begin downloading and converting your favorite Halloween videos from YouTube at the same time. Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/] will finish its tasks, even batch tasks at speed, and never let video and audio go in separate ways.
    Well, just 4 simple steps, the downloading and converting work are completed, sincerely hope this guide is helpful for you to download or convert your beloved Halloween video files from YouTube.

  • What is involved in conversion from 8i and 9i or in general .....

    Hi,
    I would like to know what is the process involved in conversion from 8i and 9i or in general from one version to another, especially for the role of technical consultant..
    Any documents or related references that explain the steps to do a successful conversion from a technical applications developers perspective would be great.
    Thanks in advance..

    The counter question would be that how you gonna do migration?
    The other important point would be performance. There are many changes in optimizer behaviour comparetivly to 9i optimizer. metalink has so many references and notes on the same. Searching at metalink would be a good point as well.

  • Conversion from Integrated ITS to Webdynpro

    Hello,

    You won't find any content for the "old" Training & Events module in the latest ESS/MSS business packages - any standard content delivered in those typically relates to the newer Learning Solution (LSO) component.
    You can just create a couple of custom IAC iViews that run services PV7I and PV8I on the integrated ITS, and put them in your ESS portal role.
    Excerpt from note 870126:-
    The following international ESS applications based on Standalone ITS have been or will be converted to integrated ITS Version 6.40, and can still be used with SAP ERP 2005.  You can integrate these applications using ESS Homepage Customizing if required:

  • Want to download music and sound from YouTube?

    I had used Dirpy to download music and other sounds from YouTube for my personal use only in FCE, so when Dirpy bought the farm this week, I went in search of an alternative.
    A lot of searching brought up sites that wanted me to download something - scary - and one even asked for my email addy so that what I wanted could be mailed to my email function.
    I found one that did not require me to download anything from its site, was simplicity itself to use and gave exceptional results.
    I dragged the site's URL to my desktop, pasted the URL of the desired music clip from YouTube into the site's box, and in no time at all the sound was converted to MP3 and was deposited directly into iTunes.
    Before you follow suit, check it to assure yourself that it is legitimate. And be absolutely sure to read up on copyright laws as they relate to music.
    I like it. See what you think.
    I tried to include the link in this post, but this apparently contravenes the rules of this forum, and it was rejected. The name of the site is Listen To You Tube and should be easy enough to find.

  • Videoplayback.flv file downloaded from YouTube video via Safari will not play

    Hello All,
      Here is my question to you:
      Has Safari been altered in such a manner as to NOT allow you to download videos direct from YouTube to your Mac without some intermediary interface?
      Here are the steps I would use to download the source .flv video file from a video on YouTube to save it on my MacBook Pro:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to http://www.youtube.com.
    3. Enter name of video to view/download in the search bar and hit 'enter'.
    4. Start video.
    5. While video is playing:
         A) Click on 'Window' in Safari's menu bar at the top of the screen.
         B) Select 'Activity'.
    6. A window will open showing data status of the video.
    7. Locate the largest loading file size and wait until it is finished loading.
    8. Double-click on that file size.
    9. A small 'Downloads' window will appear showing file download status.
    10. Navigate to your 'Downloads' folder and drag the file named 'videoplayback.flv to the desktop.
    11.  Double-click the aforementioned file to start the video in a suitable .flv player (I was using SWF & FLV Player originally).
    This process no longer works.  All I get is a black screen when I double-click the downloaded .flv file.
    Notes:
      The file size in Step 7 above would vary accordingly to the length of the video, but now every video I try to save as a .flv is approximately 1.7MB no matter how long the video is.  Something isn't right here.
      I had originally downloaded and used SWF & FLV Player to view my video when the above process used to work, but now it has upgraded itself to Elmedia Player and wants me to upgrade to the PRO edition to be able to download videos from YouTube.
    Any insight to this will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for reading and responding to my question!
    Sincerely,
    - Austin C.

    Thank you for your timely response and suggestion, Mr. Davis!
      I did exactly as you said, made sure there was NO trace of the Elmedia player anywhere on my machine after the uninstallation procedure, but unfortunately this did not work.
      When I dropped the videoplayback.flv file into the VLC player, I get this error message:
      There is something deeper going on within Safari, I believe.  The fact that different length videos on YouTube all yield the same 1.7MB file size when I try to download them is puzzling.
    Thoughts?

    On YT, DownloadHelper shows all sizes&formats, YT offer this specific upload. If avail, select the .mp4 to avoid further conversions.

    What kind of file type did you get (what extension) - I guess those resulting files need further conversion to a file format that can be handled by iTunes.
