Newbie - Problem exporting vob file in Toast 7

Grateful for any help here - am a newbie and getting v confused.
I have recorded from a small cam recorder of a friend of mine onto dvd R since it didnt have firewire.
Was hoping to then be able to edit it in iMovie but it couldnt read the file.... then after searcing around forum saw that people recommended Toast 7 to do this conversion and that the problem is that the file is a .vob file and i need .dv??? for iMovie (am i correct?).
Bought program for $80 which seemed pretty steep then followed instuction from forum to drag on to video box but for some reason the export button is never highlighted so cant follow instructions
Guess there is something real dumb that i am doing but cant spot it since this is all a bit new to me

In order to read a .vob file once it has been decrypted from a DVD, you will need something like the QuickTime MPEG-2 plug-in, which is a separate purchase (because of licensing considerations) from Apple. Check out this link:

Problem exporting .mov file

I'm trying to export a :30 second sequence using quicktime conversion to a .mov file. I use the default settings with the H.264 codec and uncompressed 16 bit audio. (I've also tried a few other settings with Sorenson and Sorenson 3) The same thing happens everytime. The export takes forever (about 20 minutes) then stops when the progress bar gets to about 79%. A general error comes up. On some occasions, I have also gotten a notice that says my startup disk is close to full. This is confusing because all my drives have at least 10gb of space available on them.
It was suggested in another thread that this could be a result of a corrupt media or render file. If so, how does one determine that this is the cause? It was also said that bad RAM might be to blame.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm...
I wouldn't jump right into upgrading as a fix at this point, since your program shouldn't have any trouble exporting a simple Quicktime, and the upgrade to Final Cut Studio from FCP 3 is $799 USD. That isn't full price, but still may be a bit steep if you've chosen to keep using FCP 3 for so long. Although I will say that subsequent versions include many improvements that you might actually appreciate so keep it in mind.
Have you tried exporting using Quicktime Conversion from any other projects with any other clips? That would also be a good idea, to narrow down the problem. Did you try exporting a Quicktime Movie using Current Settings? I realize that may not be adequate for your final intention, but it would help the troubleshooting as well.
I once had a problem exporting a clip from FCP and after trying everything, I recaptured the clip and it ended up working. There were no visible glitches or skips in the video to indicate that the clip itself would have been corrupt, but turns out it was. So if you can recapture, since it's only a 60-second clip, maybe give that a whirl.
You should also trash your FCP prefs (search for com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist on your sytem drive and delete that file), repair your permissions (in Disk Utility), and restart.

Problem Exporting HD files CC 2014

Hi, I'm having trouble exporting HD files from a CC '14 project. I've tried ProRes 422 QT, MPeg2 HD and H264 HD. All of these are failing in both Encoder and when I try to export them directly from Premier. I was able to export a low res H264 though. Any Ideas why this is happening.

Ahh. There's wiser heads around who can probably completely correct & improve this response ... but here's my two cents USD.
I'd suggest creating a new project on your machine with the same folder/bin structure, then copying all the assets of that project (graphics, stills, footage, sequences) individually and manually putting them in place on your machine. Then try it and see what happens. If there's a bit of corruption to the project files somewhere or just wonkiness between the other rig & yours, sorting all that out can take weeks.
This process may take you up to an hour, but ... might just work.

Problem importing VOB files using Premiere Pro CC

Something must have changed between CS6 & CC as far as importing VOB files from non-DRM DVDs.
When I import the VOB files from a DVD using CS6, the import seems to go fine.
But when I import the VOB files from the same DVD using CC, the video info Frame Size and Aspect Ratio of the last VOB files comes in "wrong" when it should be the same as all of the other files.
It always seems to be the last file and it always seems to be off by the same amount.
I can Interpret Footage back to the same aspect ratio as the rest of the VOB files, but I cannot seem to fix the incorrect framesize.
I am using Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.1(4).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try this instead.

Problem exporting mpeg2 file?

I'm trying to export a file to use in DVD Studio 2. I'm in FCP 4.5 using Quicktime conversion. The file is about 3.8 GB. I get an error message that says "not enough space", but I'm saving it to an external hard drive that has about 30 GB.
Any sugestions?
Thanks
Mike

if the drive you are exporting to us a Windows formatted drive, it is limited to 2GB files.
Can you export to your local drive?

Peak bitrate of the exported VOB files change radically

I have tested with Bitrate Viewer my timeline's .m2v file, its peak bitrate is a bit under 8.7Mbits. The project has one subtitle track, and two ac3 audio tracks (2.0 track is 320kbps (Encore encodes the 2.0) and 5.1 is 448kbps). So, as making peak bitrate calculations the maximum bitrate should not exceed 9.8Mbits, right? Still, when I'm viewing the exported DVD Folder with Bitrate Viewer, VTS_01_1.VOB has a peak bitrate of 12723 bits. In that VOB the average bitrate is around 7500bits as it should and mostly max. 8.2Mbits. How is this possible that there is this single super peak in the VOB?
PS. Did another test, I changed the 2.0 AC3 track (which Encore encodes) to a previously AC3 encoded track my client provided me, now two of the VOBs have these super peaks as:
VTS_01_1.VOB - 11010 bits
VTS_01_5.VOB - 13486 bits
What is the logic?

Mick.
Whilst there is nothing to actually prevent you from using a 320kbps stereo AC3 stream at all, I was only referring to
i Encore's
encoding to AC3 stereo being 192kbps. AFAIK (I do not have a copy of the specs in front of me so cannot be 100% certain here) the specs merely state that the maximum bitrate for AC3 is 448kbps. The general consensus rate for stereo is 192, and Encore's Automatic transcoding uses this value. It is certainly possible to use the whole 448 in stereo, assuming your encoder is capable of this. I have even seen surround 5.1 streams authored to DVD-Video at 640kbps in clear violation of the specs (Pink Floyd's "Pulse" Live album did this) which is complete stupidity. WHy not simply add a half-bitrate DTS stream? Ask Sony, I guess. But again I digress, and wander OT. Sorry about that.
If your client is providing you with 320kbps streams for stereo, this ought to work just fine. But your original post did heavily imply that Encore was doing the encoding for these streams, hence my comment.
>(2.0 track is 320kbps (Encore encodes the 2.0)
As far as Replication houses rejecting masters goes, this is a whole can of small, pink wriggly things all of it's own, and the blunt fact of the matter is that replication houses
i almost never bother to correctly verify the actual streams in your Video_TS.
At best they will run the DDP files through the Eclipse system, and as all the various warnings are user-settable, what they will flag as an error is very much a case of pot luck. About the only way I know of to absolutely validate & verify your streams is to use the MEI DVD-Video Verification tool in combination with the full DVD-Video specifications, or else use a service such as Trai Forresters to get the job done for you. See http://www.dvdverification.com/public/157.cfm for a complete description of these services as well as a very good explanation as to why this is a good idea.
To summarize, Replication companies do not verify your data. They do NOT, repeat NOT check your data for DVD-Video spec compliance. What they will do is run the
i image
through Eclipse, and may or may not act on the warnings & errors it flags. Odds are very high that unless you are using
A - A very reputable replicator, or
B - One that actually gives a damn (rare these days) then whatever happens - unless the eclipse warnings are flagged as FAIL errors, with the ABORT recommendation (and even this is user definable too) then they will most likely still press whatever you send them, and when it all goes pear shaped they will blame you. An image that passes Eclipse does not necessarily comply to the DVD-Video specifications. That is your job as the authoring house.
Having said that, I would be extremely wary of attaching total reliance to any freeware utility in this matter. However, it would seem that there is a doubt over the true maximum bitrate of your stream, and this may well cause playability problems in some players. Not all, as not all DVD players are created equally, sad to say.
I strongly suspect I have just scared the willies out of you now. That was not my intention, and I apologise if this is what has happened.
Let me try to go into some more details here without repeating verbatim what you can go & read for yourself on Trai's website about this. In the earlier days of this game, replicators were a lot fewer in number, Eastern Europe, Asia & China had not got into the game, margins had not been cut to the bone to stay open & operational, and discs got checked & verified a hell of a lot better than is common these days. Problem is it can get bloody expensive. Deadlines loom, clients start getting twitchy, but the accountants keep wanting more & more for less & less and threaten to move contracts around of they do not get "discounted services". So companies start to cut corners.
But again I digress and wander, and again I apologise. Most of this information in this post will be irrelevant to your project, and will not be anything to worry about.
The point of making this post was not to scare the bejesus out of you, but to point out that you simply cannot rely on the replication house to tell you if your streams are out of spec - they simply will not do that any more than they will flag VOB errors in the navigation code either. This is just not something they ever check.
The problem is that all authoring packages - there are no exceptions here at all and some are worse than others (with Apple's DVDSP being one of the worst offenders) - interpret the DVD specifications in their own manner, and can easily produce non compliant streams. If you are worried about a video file, you need to either triple check that file, or else re-encode it.
Let's look at the numbers on your files again, just to be certain I have got all this correct.
2 Audio Streams. 320 & 448 = 768kbps.
1 Video Stream, VBR, Peak to 8700kbps.
If this is correct, IMHO you are pushing your luck somewhat. That adds to 9468kbps, leaving zip overshoot room for any unexpected spikes in the bitstream caused by sudden shifts in the material - and in 2-pass VBR this
i will
happen more often than you think.
What are you writing your master to, please? (I really want to hear "DLT Tape" and not "DVD-R Disc" here as well)
How long is the video stream?
What is the average bitrate of your video file as set? If the target is as stated, 7500, I would forget all about using VBR here and encode to a fixed bitrate (assuming you have the space to do this, I would set the CBR to around 7,000 maybe 7500 and master to DLT, as at that bitrate a written disc may choke in players anyway, regardless of stream spec compliance.
One final thing - and this comes from personal experience too - is to use the best MPEG-2 encoder you can get your hands on. MainConcept is okay for a lot of things, but it struggles in certain circumstances.
It
i can
also give peaks that are well outside what you
i think
you have set as your upper limit.
You mention that you used MPEG Validator. BUT - and this is a biggie - if one says PASS and the other (Bitrate Viewer, which is no longer being developed either, so is way out of date) says FAIL, I would look for confirmation somewhere down the line. MPEG Validator will - and I am sure you already know this - only validate the streams in PAL, not NTSC. There are varying reports as to how accurate it really is.

Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.
Message was edited by: tlsolutions

Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

Problem exporting FXG file for use in Flash

I have a simple rectangle with a 3D-bevel effect built in Illustrator that I need to export as an FXG file for use in Flash.
When I export from Illustrator to an FXG format, it creates bitmaps and embeds those in the FXG file.
if i import directly into Flash CS5 there are transparent gaps (and the symbols created are very complex), and it warns me that the objects aren't compatible with flash and they should be converted to bitmaps first.
Is there a way to export the object to an FXG file and keep it in a vector format?
if not, and this may be an Illustrator question, is there a way to create the same kind of effect so that I can get an end FXG object that will work in Flash?
An example of what I am seeing is posted here: http://idg-partners.com/flash_issue.html
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to export the object to an FXG file and keep it in a vector format?
Create the bevel edges as separate objects with gradient fills. not sure why you need AI, though. You can do that jsut the same directly in Flash...

Problem exporting QuickTime file (*.mov)

When I try to export my Flash animation as a QuickTime movie

Problem exporting avi files to Flickr

Hi,
I'm using iphoto '09 and I have a pro subscription on Flickr. When uploading one of my albums to Flickr which contains a few small avi videos (I'm talking of duraitons no longer than a couple of minutes) in amongst the photos, when I look at the set on Flickr the videos are just photos (the thumbnails of the video in iphoto). Any idea why this happens? Incorrect video format? iPhoto/Flickr simply doesn't let you do this? Does a newer version of iPhoto allow it?
Thanks,
Ali.

Thanks. I feared as much...
It's actually easier if I just locate the videos through the flickr upload dialogue box. I just look for Media > Photos > My album

Problems exporting files

I'm new to using Flash (I'm using Flash Professional CS5) and am having problems exporting my files.
While the files will export as .mov files, when I try to play the files they're simply a blank white or black screen.
Any help or ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

The most likely reason is that you are attempting to export a muxed mpeg file. QT will not export sound from such files. QT Mpeg Limitations
This freeware will export to a number of different formats from mpeg with the sound and video intact. Mpeg StreamClip

VOB files are missing footage that's on the DVD

Hi all,
I'm putting together a memorial film. The family gave me all their home movies that have been put on DVDs. I'm using MPEG streamclip to convert the VOB files to DV files that I can import and edit in iMovie (or FCP).
Here's my problem: The VOB files are missing footage that I can absolutely see when I play the DVD. I've tried exporting the files to AVI and .mov files but the result is the same.
Can someone help me figure out how to access that missing footage? It's very strange.
Thanks!

David--great idea--thank you! Unfortunately the result is the same. I am beginning to wonder if the DVD wasn't what's that called...finished? properly. There it all is on the TV but I have not figured out anything, despite great ideas and strategies that would give me a different result.
Thanks again!
