MPEG-2 or dvd setting

i have a 3 min project i am pressing for DVD,
what is the difference between the compressor presets for MPEG 2 and DVD?
also i shot it with a Z1P in DV wide and worked in FCP in anamorpic and have tried compressing in 16:9 and building the dvd in DVDSP in 16:9 but the final burned DVD plays on my Widescreen LCD TV in a wide version but it is letterboxed?
cheers
TH

is it because i upgraded from FCP HD version 4,
i have both options, mpeg2 outputs a mpeg2 file and a DVD PCM Audio, and DVD outputs a mpeg2 file, a AIFF 48/16 and a dolby 2.0.
another question,
i have made a video, PAL DV 48khz,
i made a dvd of it in DVDSP, compressed with MPEG2 60min high quality widescreen- mpeg2 file and AIFF
it worked perfect when i checked it but the client says that the audio goes loud and soft all the time while viewing it on his DVD player
have i stuffed up somewhere, the audio should be 48Khz all the way right?
thanks for your time if you reply

Premiere Pro to MPEG-2 for DVD Interlace Problems

Hello
I hope somebody can give me advise on this.
I have created many SD DVD's from various edits but I'm struggling with this current problem.
I have an edit in Premiere Pro CC on a progressive HD timeline with H264 footage shot on a Canon 5D.
I also have a front and end animated logo where I have put some a spinning motion on the logo using basic 3D etc.
I need to create an SD DVD, so I export MPEG-2 for DVD with the setting to progressive.
The MPEG-2 that is created to make the DVD is fine with all the footage but it is interlaced on the moving logo.
I have tried moving to an interlaced timelime but it makes no difference.
I have tried upper and lower fields on the logo sequence.
I have tried exporting the MPEG-2 upper and lower and nothing seems to make difference.
The interlacing on the moving logo is also there when you burn the DVD. It is there when you playback though DVD player on the mac and also the same on a plasma TV using a normal home DVD player.
The only place the spinning logo looks normal is on the Premiere Pro timeline or when you export to MPEG4 or Quicktime, it only seems to be a problem with the MPEG-2 export for DVD.
I could really appreciate some advice on this as I need to burn a load of DVD's for distribution.
Many thanks.

Do the spinning motion on the logo in AE.
Export to a lossless codec and import that into Premiere.

You need a retail DVD and not one which originally shipped with a Mac.

I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

How to encode Final Cut Sequences as MPEG-2 for DVD Pro

I am using Final Cut Studio (non-Universal version)
I am wanting to encode a Final Cut sequence
as an MPEG-2 for DVD Studio Pro 4
I don't want to render the Sequence, I merely
want to select the Entire Sequence and encode
it as an MPEG-2 wherein I can adjust the settings
custom-style
How do I do this?
thanks

QuickTime MPEG-2 is no longer included in new installs.
Read Apple's info doc.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301871
Because of the superior capabilities of Compressor, the QuickTime MPEG-2 encoder is superfluous and is not included with new installations of DVD Studio Pro 4 or Final Cut Studio.

You should be able to get some more precise information from your Xorg logs, but I would bet it is related to the evdev driver. Some of the options in your xorg.conf no longer work with the latest version. For now you should be able to either map your mouse directly to the appropriate /dev/event* entry or change to the standard mouse driver, both of those methods should be in the wiki.
You are supposed to be able to use the evdev driver without the input section of your xorg.conf by using dbus/hal autodetection, but AFAIK at the moment the xorg-server package still isn't compiled with hal support, so you would have to patch and rebuild the package.

MPEG 4 to DVD....

How many hours can you put on a dvd with an mpeg 4 file?

A DVD holds about 4.3GB of data on a single layer 4.7GB disk. What fits depends on what you're doing.
An MPEG-4 file is not DVD encoding. Not for one like a commercial movie, or a similar disk you'd create yourself that is. If you put an MP4 file on a data disk, many newer players can be told to read and play such files back, just as they can a bunch of static JPEG images as a slide show.
If you mean you want a standard movie DVD, then you need a way to author and create such a DVD. Those will always be MPEG-2. How much tI've fits all depends on the bit rate you set, if you have the option to choose your own. Higher bit rates mean better quality, but less run time that will fit. Lower bit rates means choppier video, but longer movies that will fit on the same disk.

DVD set to wrong region and crashes when I try to change it

I'm in Region 2. I only watch Region 2 DVDs, I only want to watch Region 2 DVDs. At Christmas, my DVD player was working fine with Region 2 DVDs. Today I tried to load another Region 2 DVD (for the first time since I updated the OS for the App Store, I don't know if that's relevant) and DVDPlayer tells me I'm set to Region 1, do I want to change?
I have no idea why it thinks its set to Region 1 but yes, I want to change, so I unlock the padlock and select Region 2. DVDPlayer immediately crashes out completely with no changes made. I have tried rebooting, moving the com.apple.dvdplayback.setregion.plist and com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist and all sorts. It still crashes out. I can't find how I'm supposed to know how many region changes I have left, but as far as I'm aware I haven't used any. I get no dialogs warning me of having used any.
Console reports these errors when DVDPlayer crashes:
13/01/2011 22:03:45 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dvdplayback.setregion[35408]) Exited with exit code: 4
13/01/2011 22:03:45 com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[171] ([0x0-0x30c33c03].com.apple.DVDPlayer[35184]) Exited with exit code: 1
Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can watch my DVDs again?
Thanks

Edit: I have found the DVD I played before Christmas and tried playing that, and that still works. However now that I have a DVD that allows me to keep DVDPlayer open, I have found the Region settings, and it still says that it's Region 1, with 1 Drive change remaining for some reason. The DVD that works is 2+4 PAL UK (Back and forth Region 2 only), as is the DVD that doesn't work.

OS X 10.5.6 Leopard DVD set

I have a 17" MacBook Pro model MA611LL/A. Can I use the OS X 10.5.6 Leopard DVD's from a 15" MacBook Pro. To re-install OS X 10.5.6 Leopard back into the MacBook Pro 17" lap top? Do not know which model computer the OS X 10.5.6 Leopard for 15" came from. It was listed on eBay for sale. Reason I want to buy it? I know have Snow Leopard, and it disabled my Firewire ports. Firewire ports work finw, when I use 10.4.8 Tiger as the startup drive. Am hoping Leopard, will not have the same disabling effect on the Firewire ports, that Snow Leopard has caused.

No, the disk set is machine specific.

How can I burn an mpeg onto a DVD without having to use IDVD or IMovie?

So I've got a few jpg's and mpeg's that I would like to burn for PC friends, but the only way I can figure out how to get these onto a CD or DVD is by using IDVD or IMovie with my IMac. Is there a way around this? Why doesn't a blank DVD or CD icon come up on the desktop once inserted so that I can simply drag and drop my photos and short movies to it to be burned accordingly? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding Dave, but this option doesn't
seem to appear in the preferences of IDVD, DVD
Player, or Quicktime. It seems strange that the only
way I can burn a movie is to create a new IMovie
project and and then burn it via IDVD. This is a
huge hassle when all I want is a few short videos in
no particular order saved on a CD or DVD. My CD
player doesn't seem to be listed separately and is
tied into Itunes. Isn't ILife suppose to make
things easier? Thanks for your help.
In "system preference" not the others (IDVD, QT DVD PLAYER)

Mpeg 2 for DVD recording?

Hello,
I was wondering if On Location would record mpeg-2 in realtime for use in a standard definition DVD?
Record the footage, burn to a DVD disc without encoding...
Thanks

OnLocation only records what the camera provides. It won't transcode the video.

MPEG Streamclip ripping DVDs

i am using MPEG streamclip to rip DVDs into DV.
it works fine, except that it only does it in 4GB sements.
once it goes almost 20 miniutes into the movie, it stops and says "write error or disk full", leaving me with a 20 minute DV file, and PLENTY of room on the external HD i'm ripping it to.
it actually stops at the exact same file size every time, down to the byte, i dont remember the exact number, but it's about 4 GB.
i can rip it in segments, but i'd love to just let it create one file. I was wondering if anybody else has run into this before.
thanks.

Yes, it's the formatting. You should reformat it as Mac OS Extended. Among other things, FCE requires it.
As you know, this will erase anything you currently have on the drive, so be sure to back up whatever you need to keep. But after formatting you will no longer have the 4GB file size limit.
The actual space available on a hard drive is always less than the advertised size; marketers use the term GB loosely; a 300GB drive is actually a 292GB drive by measurement; and when you format the drive, the formatting process requires space also, which is why you end up with 280GB of usable space on what's advertised as a 300GB drive.

Extracting mpeg files from DVD studio pro burnt DVD

I burnt a dvd with studio pro a while back and have scince deleted the mpeg file. I want to make and edit and burn a new dvd. Is there any way to get my mpeg file back off the dvd so I can edit it?

You can use MPEGStreamclip to either demux the DVD streams (VOBs) back to their elements (.m2v and .AC3) which will create no loss in quality. You can also edit in MPEGStreamclip and then demux (though the editing process is a bit clunky).
Once you have the elemntary streams you can do a "down and dirty" edit in DVD-SP also.
Alternatively MPEGStreamclip can be used to convert the VOBs into Quicktime movies with consequent loss in quality as you will be converting from MPEG (a lossy format), edting and then eventually reconverting that footage back into and MPEG (thereby compressing again)
Best ting about MPEGStreamclip is it's free:

I should add as a caveat that you should only be using this on material that you own.

DVD setting to widen picture when letterbox detected???

I always end my projects in FCP by cropping the top and bottom of the screen to give it that letterbox effect. But after running it through DVDSP, the players never recognize the letterbox parts as an indicator to zoom in on the image until the letterbox parts are off screen. Thus giving more screen to the left and right sides of the image.
Does anyone know if there's a setting of some kind in either DVDSP or FCP that will indicate to widescreen monitors to zoom in just up to the black bands on the top and bottom of the screen?
Thanks in advance.
Enio

Side note:
This realization came about when I made the mistake of buying a copy of the Pre-digitally enhanced version of "The Empire Strikes Back" only to discover that all Lucasfilm did was do an analog transfer of the old Laserdisc copy and burn it directly onto DVDs.
They didn't even have the decency to program the disc to play widescreen when the monitor was wide. Instead you get letterbox bars on the top, the bottom, the left, and the right. It's downright embarrassing. But it did get me thinking maybe there is a way to fix this, at least on my own projects.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Mpeg Streamclip opening DVD files help

I'm using Mpeg Streamclip 1.9.3b7 on a MacBookPro 15" and trying to rip a 50min episode off of a bought DVD in order to use in FCE to make a showreel for an actor friend. The file is a 1.07Gb .VOB of an MPEG Program Stream kind. When I open it in Streamclip I can only get the last 22 mins of the episode. I've tried with the other episodes on the disk and alternative episodes from a different series of the same programme and getting the same result. I'm brand new to Streamclip, so could very well be making a large schoolboy error, but after scouring forums I haven't found a solution. I've fixed timecode breaks and seem to be able to convert the twenty minutes that I have, but just can't locate the first half of the episode. Could it be copyright protection?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you.
SJ

Streamclip does not work on encrypted, protected DVD's. It is against the terms of use on the forum to discuss ways of breaking encryption. Best bet: contact the producer and get a clean file.
