Mpeg2 preset problem

So, I've been trying to export using the mpeg-2 60 minute high quality encode preset. The encoding appears to go off successfully in the batch monitor. However, the file that is exported appears as an unrecognizable file type. It appears just as a blank icon. However, when I double click on that file, droplet opens and can encode a .mov, heavily compressed version of my original project file. I feel like I have a problem with my settings in the mpeg-2 preset, and therefore cannot get my mpeg-2 file. However, I cannot find the problem. I tried posting about this a few days ago and no one had any ideas. Does anyone know what my preset problem might be?

This may be an old problem (.m2v file kind) for which I've posted the fix several times. Not all of you may have the same cause, so this may not work for everyone. But here is a llnk on how to fix this (perhaps). Oh, by the way, this is an apparent QuickTime 7 bug.

What is the Bluray Stream option for in Mpeg2 preset?

I just noticed by accident that in the mpeg2 preset quality tab when I clicked the SD DVD drop-down box that there is an option to create a bluray stream. Am I correct to assume therefore that it is possible to create a bluray mpeg2 file direct from a QT Ref exported from FCP timeline; but it would have to be authored in another package, e.g. toast, encore? Has anyone used this? What is the quality like? Is there an avchd option somewhere - I couldn't find one so I presume there isn't one.
TIA for anyone who can shed more light on this.

One draw back with Toast 10 is that it will re-encode the video no matter if you have NEVER re-encode set. A bug since version 9, for what I read. One good thing is that you can put the HD/Blu-ray onto a regular DVD using Toast. These bit rates are higher than what you are used to... 10,000-18,000 Mbps. You can use either Mpeg-2 or H.264. H.264 being you better bet to use, if you can. These video files are wrapped in a .m2ts container. (I think that's the right) Lastly, Toast encoding time is terribly slow (zzz), at least on my machine.
Google it and do some reading... And there are other forums that people have posted their experience/questions making these DVD's.

Preset problems

For the first time since upgrading to 1.1 I'm having a problem. It happens when I apply multiple presets, say WB, curve, tone, punch. Now say I don't like what the punch did so I ctrl Z to undo only nothing happens to the pic. The only thing that happens is the highlighted preset will return to the one before that, in this case it would be the tone preset.
If I ctrl Z again then it will make the change disappear on the pic. I've tried mousing up to the nav bar and selecting undo but I get the same results.
This is the first time this has happened, at least that I have noticed. I tried closing/reopening LR that made no difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

Nobody has any ideas? I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one with this problem.

Printing Presets Problem, Not Retaining Settings Assigned To A Preset.

Hi
I have a 10.5.8 client computer that is experiencing problems with saved printer presets not retaining the paper tray assigned to that preset. It works for other printers but not this one particular printer. I have tried the following.
1. Repair disk permissions.
2. Delete the troublesome printer presets and recreate them.
3. Reset printing system and re-add printers and recreate all printer presets.
4. Ran Onyx maintenance scripts, cleared caches, etc.
5. Re-applied 10.5.8 combo update.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Uncompressed 8-bit Preset problems

Hi,
I'm trying to solve a jaggy text problem by creating a new uncompressed 8-bit sequence (which I've never used before).
I try using the preset for Uncompressed 8-bit and click OK... but then I get the following message:
"Video Compressor Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 was not found. Please check that the hardware is present and enabled for this compressor. Setting the video to Animation."
I'm not sure what this means. Do I need a better Video Card? (My friend has FCP 5 on his old 867MHz Powerbook and it works fine on that... so I can't see how my dual 1 GHz doesn't have the right hardware...).
Please advise if you have encountered this error...
Thanks.
G

The file... it's not a file but an edited sequence... I "captured" it using firewire DV preset... miniDV consumer camera.
Edited the whole show into a 30 second sequence.
Was trying to put superimposed title graphics which were "jaggy"
Someone suggested creating an uncompressed sequence and then cutting in the DV sequence and graphics into it...
But I couldn't create the uncompressed sequence.
I tried creating a brand new project using the uncompressed preset... and got the same error message.

D200 white balance presets problem or ACR problem?

Last night I was playing around with my D200 and an SB800. The scene was just a sofa with a Gretag-Macbeth 24 Patch Color Checker. The object was to see what results I got with the SB800 with the D200 set to the various preset White balance values. (I should point out that the lighting was mixed, but that is not relevant to the results I see.)
I set the D200 to each of the preset white balance values and then opened the NEF file in ACR. The preset temperature (from the D200 Manual) and the temperature/tint values reported as "As shot' by ACR are shown in the table below.
D200 ACR 'as shot'
preset temperature/tint
tungsten 3000 2950 / 0
fluorescent 4200 3950 / +31
daylight 5200 4950 / -3
flash 5400 6150 / -9
cloudy 6000 5550 / -7
shade 8000 7100 / +3
First of all I don't care if the temperature reported by ACR agrees with the preset temperature quoted by Nikon. What puzzles me is the discontinuity in the values reported by ACR when going from 'flash' to 'cloudy'. Is this a problem with ACR or with the Nikon preset values for these two settings?

Bob,
A full answer to your question would require a response by Thomas Knoll or some other ACR expert with knowledge of how Nikon records the white balance and the algorithm used to apply the white balance. However, I can bring up a few points which may shed some light on the matter.
One should first consider what white balance information Nikon cameras write to the NEF file. The following table refers to the D70 and similar Nikon cameras before encryption of the WB.
http://www.ozhiker.com/electronics/pjmt/jpeg_info/nikon_mn.html
The settings of daylight, flash, tungsten, etc are written as descriptive strings, not actual degrees Kelvin. Nikon considers daylight to be 5200K, but Thom Hogan writes that this value often produces a blue result and 5400K might be better.
The bias value refers to fine tuning between the above descriptive settings, approximately 100 Mired per increment. Finally, the red and blue coefficients are recorded (green would be redundant). Some raw converters such as DCRaw use these coefficients for the "as set" white balance. There is nothing corresponding to the ACR tint, which adjusts in the magenta green axis, whereas the color temperature slider adjusts in the yellow-blue axis. The degrees Kelvin figure specifies the white balance only for a black body radiator.
Thus there several ways to interpret the WB data. Mr. Knoll has written previously that ACR attempts to produce a neutral white balance appearance rather than the WB numbers. An interesting experiment would be to determine which converter (ACR or Nikon Capture) gives a more neutral white balance on your color checker with the above settings.

Import preset problem

A warm welcome to the Import Preset; except I'm having a problem. I have saved a few presets but when I select them only the panels on the right are changed so I see, for example, Add (to) My Catalog and Develop Settings and Metadata are just as I have set them. BUT "Select a Source" says just that, when I'd like it to go to the folder from which I want it to import. BTW there is no card in the reader, this is just an import from a folder into the catalog.
Should the preset "remember" the folder to import from, or have I misunderstood?

Should the preset "remember" the folder to import from, or have I misunderstood?
No, only the "rest" of Import dialog. The concept is: a preset remembers "how to treat the files you are importing" from any location.

Kelby preset problem

I recently purchased Scott Kelby's book for Lightroom 5 and downloaded/imported presets (for develop/print modules) from "kelbytraining.com/books/LR5" into one of my catalogs. The catalog's print module is no longer functioning properly. Selected images from the film strip do not show up in the main window. Most of the right panel options are not working and scrolling through the template browser shows the variations in the preview panel but nothing appears in the primary display area. I've manually deleted the presets from Kelby but the problem remains. Any way to restore default settings? I have a total of 4 lightroom catalogs. The other three are operating properly. Running Windows 7, 64bit.

OK - there were some presets left in the develop module that were apparently the offending gremlins. Deleted them from within Lightroom and from windows explorer. Print module back to normal. I think they were develop presets created for Lightroom 4 that I had also downloaded/imported that were creating the problems. Thanks anyway.

Garageband Amp Sim Preset Problem?

Hi everyone. I just had to reinstall Garageband 2, and I was playing around with the Amp Simulations when I noticed something that I wasn't sure was a problem or not. When I click on "Manual" to select an Amp Type, in addition to "American Clean," "American Crunch", "American Lead," and so forth, there is also "Big Wheels," "Classic Rock," "English Channel," and "Thick Jazz," which is kind of weird seeing as how those are also Amp presets.
I did a clean install, but this seems odd for some reason. Are these Amp types supposed to be under the Manual setting? What are other people's settings?
Thanks in advance!

It seems the Manual menu is only presets. If you click on the pencil icon, the amp controls open, there are both he manual tab as well as the "Model" tab. The Manual is the presets, and the model sets the amp. I don't use them, but I think yours are OK, since mine are the same as you describe.

Mail preset problem (?)

hi there,
To mail my pictures I'm used to exporting them to my desktop, from where I collect them together and drop them directly into a message that I prepare. Without having changed any presets (that I know of (?)) recently my messages are received with two versions of any photo, of which one of them cannot be opened by the receiver. (for example a jpeg with export preset (to my desktop) "fitt between 1024x1024" is received in mail as a jpg version of 57,8 KB and a jpg of 1.05 MB, the latter the one that can be opened. When I sent directly tru File/Email this thing doesn't occur (?)
A lot of words for a small problem, but I cannot find the setting to return to the original situation. Can somebody help?

Start up Mail. Start up Help. Type 'windows friendly' in the search box and hit ENTER.
Help will display a text that describes problems that Windows users have with items sent from a Mac.
The solution is to set Mail to send Windows frindly attachments.
Under Edit>Attachments you will be able to set that option.

Mpeg2 compression problem

Ok,
So I am trying to compress 16gb of .mov files to mpeg2 for a dvd. I made the original on a dual-layer disc to maintain best quality with dolby dig. 5.1 and 90min 2 pass mpeg2. But unfortunately a dual-layer disc and its limitations/benefits are too hard for the client to comprehend... So I am stuck fiddling with different bitrates and compression settings to try and get files small enough to compress to one single layer dvd.
I am not that used to encoding, only the basics, for use in dvd studio pro and was wondering if anyone had any hints on what settings i should be looking out for, because i'm not sure how much more testing i can take!

I am trying to compress 16gb of .mov files to mpeg2 for a dvd
Don't go by the file size ... go by the duration of your program. Pick the closest DVD preset in Compressor and adjust the preset as needed for your program's duration. There is no set bit rate that will be best for all programs. One 90 minute program might require a lower bit rate than another due to the number of compression markers you've added in FCP and the number of transitions/cuts.

Can I fix MPEG2 sync problem in QT7 Pro?

I have converted & compressed a bunch of VOB files (with ac3 audio) to MPEG2 files (with mp2 audio) using ffmpegX, but one of the file's audio track is out-of-sync, and the others are perfect.
I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason why it's out of sync, but I'm more worried about fixing it!
I have demuxed VOBs before so I could strip it down to the streams, rebuild it in QT7 and then compress it, but it's a lot of faffing around...
Can the audio track be 'nudged' in QT7 to get it in sync with the video track or is not as easy as that?
TIA Lee

Hi,
something weird has happend with my PS5. Before resizing went just fine. If I go to Image-> image size-> change the the resolution to 300 and size for example to 8x10 and Ok. Before that weird problem when I "ok" that information the rulers showed 8 inches x 10 inches, but now
it shows 2000x3000 which is the pixels not inches as I want. What happend and how to fix this?
Thanks for help!
That is because your Photoshop Ruler Units somehow has been changed to Pixels. An Action or script might have done that. Also you must have checked the constraine option in the Image size dialog and are using a 3:2 Aspect Ratio camera image. 8X10 is a 4:5 aspect ratio not a 3:2 ratio. When you set 8 wide then 10" high and 300DPI photoshop calulated what the width should be and set 6.667" because constrain was checked in the images size dialog when Photoshop set in 6.667" in the print with field you missed seeing that and remember you had entered 8". With your Ruler Units set to Pixels visible Rulers would show your 3:2 is a portrait to be 2000px wide and 3000px high as would the upper section in the Image size dialog for file size.
When you entered 8" in the width field Photoshop Calulated 12" for the hight because of the constrain option and put that in the height field which you then over typed with 10" which cause Photoshop the change the width to 6.667...
Nothing weird has happend Photoshop is working as it should.... To set the default back to inches use menu Edit>Pereferences>Units & Rulers.. The use the units pulldown menu and select inches.....

QT X & MPEG2 component problems

I have QT X. I paid for and installed MPEG2 component, but for some reason QTX won;y let me access the files. I thought I had QT Pro that came with my Final Cut 7 - obviously not. So I tried downloading QT7 but it would not install because of QTX.
My old G5 with 10.5 runs it no problem, as does my MacBook !!

Hi I have the same problem and have not been able to solve it. I have SL and QT 7.7.6 and X. Cant get it to work in either. I was able to read files before upgrade to SL...... but now it wont work. Love to hear how others have solved this

Quicktime MV2 (mpeg2) conversion problem

After installing final cut pro 5 the mpeg2 codec won't show up in codec list when trying to export via Quicktime no matter what I try.
Have had same problem on other systems.
Have even tried installing codec seperately but to no avail.
Compressor is fine but also want use of QT conversion.
Can anyone help please?????

When you upgrade QT to (I think) version 7.1.x it disables the feature. If you stick with version 7.0.x it retains the feature if you previously had it. I think the feature was provided in version 6.5.2 so you need to have had that version on your system and upgraded, but not beyond 7.0.x
Apple says you don't need the feature any more because you have Compressor.

Mpeg2 encoding problems, compressor 4

When I compress any Quicktime file to mpeg2 using compressor 4.0.7 and/or 3.5 I get intermittent digitially distorted (square pixels) frames. Usually 1-2 frames per location.
I've done multiple Quicktime exports from FCP (all 1920x1080 30P) with the same results.

Trailpro wrote:
FYI, I had the same problem originally with the 1080i export using compressor 4. It was a while ago and I believe I resolved the problem by using compressor 3.5. However that isn't working this time.
AFAIK, 3.5 amd 4.x encode for DVD MPEG the same.
Sounds like you used QuickTime Conversion to go out from FCP7? Generally, the preferred route is to do as little as possible to the sequence in exporting from FCP; which would mean, Export QT Current Settings.
Another general comment: Interlaced material never looks great on a computer display, and if there is much motion, including pans and zooms, it can really look awful. But that doesn't mean you should de-interlace in FCP. A DVD player and/or the TV should be able to handle interlaced perfectly well. In that case, you would not do any software de-interlacing. Other times, one might decide it was still desirable to de-interlace; and in that case, Compressor will d a better job than FCP.
It's also possible that what you're seeing is just artifacts that were introduced in down-scaling (amd changing pixel shape) from 1080 to 480 anamorphic. Setting he Resize Filter in Frame Controls to Best may cure that problem. In the preview window, mark a short section (that you know contains problem frames) with in and out point as a test and see whether that clears up the problem.
Good luck.
