any thoughts?
best and thanks

clients gone now so ...
In compressor, there are apple presets.   In the formats folder is an mpeg2 folder.  There are 3 options.  You need to ask which is the correct format for this use.
Once you know, you duplicate the preset and customize it for the correct specs.  There are options in the frame controls tab that will effect the quality of the conversion.  You'll need to play around with these to find the sweet spot.

  • MPEG DVD Pal Widescreen at 1.458 PAR, what were Adobe Thinking?

    Okay apart from the fact that Adobe wanted to stiff me for another £999 to upgrade from the CS3 Production Premium suite to CS5.5, my first HDV project on the new system messed up; and I thought I was moving forward (apart from my bank balance) phew got that off my chest.  Whichever way you look at this and no matter how many technicians tell us otherwise, DVD players, You Tube, Vimeo, well the world really have been happy using a PAR of 1.422222 for PAL Widescreen and now Adobe are using 1.458 the "correct" PAR for the BBC apparently having read previous threads (well yippee da).  This doesn't help me uploading my videos for a client to You Tube, Vimeo or a DVD and having black bars either side, they couldn't care less whether it is the correct standard for the BBC or not they just want their footage to look like everyone else's.  What are you playing at Adobe, just give us another option in Media Encoder to export the same way we have been happy doing for years and stop rolling over for the BBC.  Incidentally I upload MPEG2 DVD to You Tube and have been getting good results so that is why I am using MPEG2 for You Tube and Vimeo (but I'm sure someone will now give me a good reason not to).   I have been fighting Adobe's (and Window's)  corner for the last god knows how many years while the Mac crew have been tempting me with that alluring mistress FCP, more stable audio and better colour resolution.  Adobe sort this out we've had enough of this nonsense, what is it with big companies they become god like in their sheer arrogance, give us what we want and stop toying with your minions.  This really hacks me off.

    I understand the frustration that your tone implies, but you've run off the tracks here.
    The computer world uses square pixels.  Vimeo, YouTube, etc.  When people upload anything but square to those services, the resulting picture is distorted, as it's displayed in square pixels.  And I see a lot of distorted videos on YouTube.

    I'm fairly certain that if you upload an MPEG2 to YouTube, they're going to recompress it to FLV or MP4 for you.  It's not one of their "supported formats."  So, I wouldn't be surprised if they muck it up.
    £999 to go from CS3 to CS5.5. sounds like a pretty good deal to me... that's a three version jump.  I also believe Adobe has become more responsive to customer input in the past few years, and not just "rolling over" for big clients.  But, those are opinions.

  • Converting NTSC to PAL with chapter markers

    Hey guys,
    I have just a quick question.
    I am making a home made video. I did all the editing in FCP and made a great DVD in iDVD. I would like to do the same thing in PAL format so I can send it to my parents in Europe. My original footage is in NTSC. I did my own research and tried using compressor to change format to PAL.
    I tried several different settings (PAL DV, Mpeg 2 PAL) but the outcome movie is always missing chapter markers.
    I also tried to import the PAL movie (after conversion in Compressor) to FCP and added chapter markers but did not work.
    Does anybody know how to convert the format from NTSC to PAL and keep the chapter markers at the same time? I would like to mantain as high quality as possible.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well, this seemed to work. However, being completely new to converting to PAL, I was surprised to see the "jumpiness" that goes along with the frame rate drop. Looking at it taxes the eyes as it seems like its dropping frames every so often. I realize, through more research that this is due to the 25 FPS nature of PAL plus the fact that I'm converting and not just authoring from PAL material. Having said this, is there a tried and true way of "smoothing" this jumpiness that anyone would share?
    A friend of mine suggested that when I place the file into DVDSP, I choose the TOP field in the encoding tab, prior to burning the disk. In the past I have always left the FIELD menu set at Auto. He says that setting it to TOP might help a little.
    He also told me that a lot of the software based converters don't do the best of jobs. Although acceptable results may come from tweaking the settings, the best way to convert NTSC to PAL (with the most pleasing results) is by using a very high end converter (not a computer). Although you have to weigh out the circumstances such as how many disks will eventually be converted compared to available budget, is it worth spending a little extra for a master that will ultimately see 1,000 copies?
    I'm planning on showing my client the burn with field dominance set to TOP, on Monday. Hopefully she'll find it acceptable and I'll be able to move on with this project. Thanks for all the help!

  • Get SD PAL render files from a Bluray project

    I've completed a Bluray project with 3 sequences in Premiere CS5.0.  The output to Bluray disc through Encore CS5 went well.  I now want to send a SD PAL DVD to a friend in Africa, and hoped (incorrectly) that I could just render the sequences with the appropriate PAL setting and use Encore again with PAL specified.  Files were rendered, but Encore rejects them as being an unacceptabe aspect ratio.
    What is the simplest procedure to get a PAL format disc of my project?  I am willing to accept either top/bottom letterbox or truncation of the left/right sides of the frames to get the 16:9 aspect ratio into 4:3 or whatever PAL wants.

    Jim, That was a reasonable guess, but I double checked that the Encore project was set up as a PAL project expecting to output 720x576, 25fps to a DVD.  But here is a more careful look at the error message:
             PCC "Untitled Timeline" has an error at 437.6400s
             The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD
             PGC Info: name=Untitled Timeline, ref=Bpgc, time=437.6400s
    Now that time is the first frame of the second sequence I put on the timeline, or rather the second m2v and wav files exported from the second sequence in Premiere CS5. Apparently the first sequence is swallowed OK, but the second is causing a problem.  All three exports were done with the same MPEG-DVD/PAL HQ preset, and all three m2v files are listed in Windows Explorer as 720x576 videos, and all three m3v files play in Windows Media Player looking the same (a wide screen video letterboxed with black bars at top and bottom).
    However, if I look at the three sequences on the monitor in Encore, the first sequence has very narrow black bars on left and right, while the other two are widescreen aspect ratio surrounded on all four sides by wide black bars.
    I re-exported the second sequence from Premiere with no change in result.
    Anyone have an idea what's happening, or at least how I can get the PAL disk burned?

  • How can I get Safari (on Mac) to play MPEG files on my website?

    We have lots of media files and I want to play these files on Safari (on Mac) with QuickTime plug-in or VLC Web plug-in or anyting else...
    These files' properties:
    Extension: mpg
    Video codec: MPEG Video (PAL) (Version 1)
    Audio codec: MPEG Audio (Version 1) (Layer 2)
    Multiplexed (muxed)
    I tried QuickTime plug-in but it does not support the auido codec so the media file was shown with no sound. After a little research I found "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component" which supports MPEG Audio Layer 2. But it is not free... (I have not tried it, maybe it won't work...)
    After that I wanted to try "VLC Web plugin for Intel Mac" but it did not work on my Safari. I heard that this project has not developed for 3 years...
    Is there any way to get Safari to play MPEG files?
    Note: No, I can not change media files' codec...

    If the pages load on one network but not on another, then it's a network problem. Try restarting the hotspot.

  • MPEG 2 stutters when played on my Mac

    Hey everyone,
    I am having a strange problem with MPEG 2 files. Normally I make DVDs to play on DVD players connected to tvs, but for my current project I need to create a DVD which will most likely be played on computers. The MPEG 2 files I've created in Compressor and DVDSP play back with a strange stutter during pan shots. Other shots are ok. Just to check, I burnt the files to a DVD and played them on my tv and there is no stutter. I've played the files through the Apple DVD Player program directly from the DVD, and also through QuickTime Player direct from the hard drive and I get the same stutter in both.
    I read on another thread about someone having this problem with MPEG 4 files and they were told to try the VLC player, so I gave this a try as well, and it did work a lot better than QuickTime Player or DVD Player. But I can't rely on that because I doubt that most people I'm going to give the DVD to would have the VLC player. Can anyone suggest any settings for Compressor or DVDSP that will produce stutter-free pans when viewed in either DVD Player or QuickTime Player? My clip is less than 2 mins long. The settings I have used so far are:
    Exporting from FCP to Compressor:
    MPEG 2 PAL 60 minute two pass VBR, average bit rate 6.6Mbps, Max bit rate 7.8Mbps, Motion Estimation: best, Field dominance: bottom first
    MPEG 2 PAL 60 minute One pass, average bit rate 7.8Mbps, Motion Estimation: best, Field dominance: bottom first
    Exporting as a movie from FCP and then using DVDSP to encode during 'build/format':
    MPEG 2 One pass VBR, bit rate 4.0Mbps, Max bit rate 7.0Mbps, Motion Estimation: better, Field order: auto
    Any hints or tips would be gratefully received!

    Thanks Heikki. My pans were shot on a DVX100a at 25p, so as I understand it, the footage is already progressive. I have tried compressing as a progressive MPEG 2 but it looks the same in QuickTime and DVD Player no matter what settings I use in the export. It only looks good in VLC Player or if I burn it to DVD and watch it on tv. Non panning shots look fine, it's just during the pans that there is a problem - as if I had some trembling disease while I was panning the camera!

    what you should do depends on the nature of the problem. a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. are you certain that the issue you are looking at is one of incorrectly interpreted field order? if it is, then you can manually apply the Shift Field filter to correct for this.

    again, what you should do depends on the nature of the problem. indeed, HDV and DV do not have the same native field order, but are you sure that is th eproblem in this instance? how slow is this slow mo? how did you create the slow mo? it may be that the strobing effect is the natural result of the slow mo.

    the orginal MPEG2 files already have the wrong field order? and you want software that can correct for that field order problem during the conversion process? try DVDxDV Pro or Cinematize (both commercial). alternatively there is JES Deinterlacer for after the fact correction.

  • PAL to NTSC Big Problems

    We shoot and edit in PAL on FCP and output to Quicktime MOV. When I convert the MOV to MPEG2 NTSC in Compressor I am getting some bad shuddering on any camera pans.
    I have tried changing field dominance and turning on and off the deinterlacing. I have even tried transcoding from an encoded mpeg 2 PAL with no improvement
    I am using version 1.2.1 of & have almost no control over the GOP settings. I don't know what do do
    Please help

    As a last resort (in case you are stuck which is a common fate of most users when dealing with this horrible legacy of NTSC frame rates) you have a simple solution that will produce flawless, no hiccups conversion from PAL to NTSC. You will need sufficient space, patience and willingness to accept 4% change in pitch.
    a) edit your footage in 25 progressive. Export it as image sequence. Export audio separately.
    b) In QTP import image sequence to NTSC frame rate 23.976. Add your audio (SCALED) to your movie.
    c) Import your movie to 23.976 FCP sequence.
    d) export it NTSC mpg2, which will add standard pulldown to bring it to 29.97.
    (all this can presumably be done in FCP, if only one could figure out how!)
    (Note to Apple.Please kindly note that 24 is not 23.98 nor it is 23.976, Your documentation is all over the place with no rhyme or reason. 24 can mean (FTC, QT) 24 or 23.976. Strangely 23.98 seems to be always used to denote 23.976. This is not nice nor professional and is awfully confusing)

  • 29,97 sequence to PAL 25 fps

    So, I have a sequence, that I wish to end up on PAL SD (DVD). The original footage is an MPEG-1, 652x480, 29,97 fps).
    Right now the seq is set to 29,97. It's edited and all set for export.
    What's the best way to go from Final Cut? Export the seq as self-contained and bring it to Compressor, where I encode to (for example) DV50 PAL?
    Or can I simply choose DV50 25 fps using QuickTime conversion in FCP?
    Simply just encode the 29,97 file to MPEG-2 (PAL, 25 fps) results in much shorter audio, which does not work...

    Doesn't have to be self-contained, a reference movie will do.

  • Dolby parameters only editable for PAL source material?

    I noticed that the only editable Dolby setting is located under the MPEG 4 Pal Source Material folder. Does that mean if I render just a sound mix using that "editable" Dolby codec it shouldn't be played with NTSC? All of the other Dolby 2.0 choices (Example: under DVD Best Quality 120 minutes) cannot be edited. You're stuck with a boiler plate setting.

    You can't edit any of the settings that come with the app unless it's been applied to your asset(s) in the Batch window. You can edit any setting you've created before or after it's been applied to your source.

  • Controlling output dimensions while exporting MPEG-2

    Hi,
    I'm supposed to send an MPEG-2 video file that is anamorphic (16/9) and the size of 720*576 pixels. The problem is that Compressor automatically makes the file's dimensions either 720*404 pixels (16/9) or 720*540 pixels (4/3).
    So, is there a way to force the dimensions as desired? Or, is there some other program that could be used to export Movs into MPEG-2? I've tried using Cleaner and as I recall there were problems too.
    It has occurred to me that the problem might also be that MPEG-2 -format cannot handle any other pixel aspects than the basic square pixel, is this the case? If it is, is there a way to make the dimensions 1024*576?

    This might just be QuickTime doing its own thing with the display size. Is this maybe a bug in QuickTime? I think it might be. My PAL SD Anamorphic MPEG-2 files also have the dimensions of 720x404, when opened in QuickTime. In the Inspector of both Compressor and DVD Studio Pro, it says 720x576, with a PAL CCIR 601 (16:9) pixel aspect ratio, which is exactly right. I checked the MPEG stream info in MPEG Streamclip too, where it says 720x576.
    What does Compressor say about your .m2v file if you try adding it as source in a new job? Try adding it in DVD Studio Pro too, and check the inspector window when you select the file in the Assets window.
    For MPEG-2 PAL SD Anamorphic (16:9), it should look like this in the Inspector window of both Compressor and DVD Studio Pro.

  • Burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro X via Compressor - No audio?

    I have attempted to burn a DVD from a Final Cut Pro X project using Compressor, however the result was silent. 
    I used compressor because my FCPx project is in NTSC and my DVD is for air on Australian TV (PAL).
    Image seemed to burn OK however there is no audio.  Can anyone advise what I may have overlooked?
    This is the first time I have used Compressor, and I am fairly new to FCP X.
    thanks,
    Geoff

    Thanks Russ.  OK, I am now rendering again via Compressor 4, this time I have 2 files in one tab - 1) a MPEG-2 and 2) an AC3 file.  Seems to make sense.
    To burn the DVD immediately after, I added a 'Job Action' to 'Create DVD' after the render, and the dialog confuses me.  No problems with the 'Job Action' tab, but the "A/V Attributes" tab indicates the follwing:
    Type:  Final Cut Pro.app  (shouldn't this be a reference to the rendered file/s?)
    Video - showing the same dimensions of my FCPx Project file (NTSC  ..640 x 480)  instead of the MPEG-2 (Pal ...720 x 576).
    Audio - Properties show Linear PCM... 6 channels, etc... not the AC3 file.
    My question is, how do I create a DVD from the newly rendered files output from Compressor - is the Job Action the way to do it, and if so, how do I get it to reference the new files?
    Thanks,
    Geoff

  • Sync problem w/ DVD from Final Cut Pro X

    My project is a 2-hour play.  I improved the audio in ProTools then dragged it back into FCP.  I was able to get the improved audio to sync perfectly with the video (both are 48K), then mute the original audio.  I checked the whole 2-hour play for sync.  I burned a DVD, played it on my DVD player, and the audio gets ahead of the video around the 30 minute mark and keeps drifting.  Several DVD burns yield the same problem.  Any advice?

  • AVI to DVD

    Issue: No tool seems to convert the
    Tina avi-file in the right way.
    My goal is to soon cool down and burn
    that avi to a DVD and watch it
    smoothly on the telly. Yes, the
    Philips DVP5500S-player deals with
    MPEG2, MPEG1 and MPEG4. The footage is
    done in real 16:3 with a 3CCD cam.
    Plan A is to use Adobe Premiere CS3
    (AP) and export Tina to Adobe Encore
    (EN) for rendering/conversion and
    DVD-burning. There are no menus in
    the edited film. During the build
    process EN gives up and leaves a PGC
    error message well known and mentioned
    in several posts in Adobe´s forums.
    Plan B must be to convert one or two
    files and burn them to a dvd disk.
    Well, AP/EN produces two files
    Tina.M2V (mpeg)560 MB and Tina.WAV 215
    MB. Question 1: Can those two files be
    of any help in achieving my goal?
    In AP I export Tina as Movie with DV
    PAL compressor, Microsoft DV AVI, Bit
    Depth: Using project setting, Optimize
    Stills, Uncompressed audio.
    After rendering this brought forth
    19:36 minutes and 3,68 GB Tina.AVI,
    1536 kbit/sec, compression MC_DVD,
    video sampling 24 bits. I simply
    burned this file to a 4,7 GB DVD,
    naively hoping it should play, but it
    did not. Question 2: Why?
    During the last week I have tested
    Tina.AVI together with more than a
    dussin AVI to DVD tools, Avi2DvD, AVS,
    Cucusoft, Debut, DVD Flick, DVDforger,
    FormatFActory, X2DVD, Win AVI, you name
    them.
    The worst result is when nothing at
    all happens when I insert the disk,
    not even a loading sign appears on the
    t eve screen. The best is with WinAVI
    when Tina loads and starts playing but
    slows down and freezes after 20
    seconds.
    I have also (in AP) exported Tina to
    Adobe Media Encoder using those
    settings
    No filters, Video codec: MainConcept
    MPEG Video, PAL, 720*576, 25 fps,
    Field order: Lower, Quality 3, Wide
    16:9
    VBR, 1 pass, Min 1,50, Target 4,00,
    Max 7,00 Mbps
    Audio: 48 kHz, 16 bit, Codec: PCM
    Audio Multiplexor: None
    This generates four new Tina files
    XMP, M2V.XMPSES, WAV and M2V, the
    first two are some Adobe metadata.
    Question 3: Can those files be of any
    use for me?
    In previous versions of AP one could
    rather easily produce working dvd:s
    The file structure on those is the one
    with video_ts and audio_ts under the
    root and then bup, iso and vob-files.
    Question 4: How does this nice working
    _ts structure relates to the type of
    conversion and settings made in
    different converters?
    Thanks in advace for any explanation,
    hint or theory why Tina doesn´t show
    up on the telly?

    >Can those two files be of any help in achieving my goal?
    Yes.
    >...naively hoping it should play, but it did not. Why?
    Don't know. It should have. Try a different player.
    >Question 3: Can those files be of any use for me?
