Output to DVD

I have an edited sequence (video and audio, with superimposed titles) in the timeline of FCE v1.0.1. I want to output to a DVD. Sequence is rendered. Mix down audio selected, Sequence time line is ca 20 minutes. Exported to FCE Movie. After conversion, I dragged the file into i-DVD. Burned a DVD. Finished DVD output was fine for first several minutes, then an abstract checkerboard pattern appeared on the TV screen on a frequent but itermitant basis throughout the remainder of the disk. What did I do wrong? Jack A

Do you see this when playing the export file in the QT player? If yes, you might try exporting it again. If no, you might try the question on the iDVD forum.

    Not possible... to have HD output you need one of the "announced but not shipped" players, since the DVD specification does not provide for HD content that will play out to your HD Television... you simply can't stuff HD content on a DVD and have it play from the DVD to a TV

  • Bluray Project Output to DVD

    I am working a Premiere project that will be output to DVD or Bluray. I exported a timeline as H264 Bluray and created a Bluray Encore project. I see that I could change the export format from Bluray to DVD, but I am curious to know how Encore calculates the disk info. I assume the H264 media will be transcoded from one compressed format to another. How does this affect quality? I would prefer to export DVD from a Bluray project than to create an identical project for DVD.
    I would also like to know if this is the best way to output to DVD while maximizing quality. Prior to CC, I dynamic linked the Premiere project to Encore and it would calculate disk size automatically. If I now have to do it myself, it seems very time consuming way to go. In my case, the media will exceed DVD size limitations. If so, which of the Premiere export parameters are safe to tweak in order to size down the files to fit the DVD?
    If these questions have been covered in another thread, please lead me to it.

  • Outputting a DVD To Flash Video in Encore 3 Under Leopard

    This topic is indirectly related to Final Cut Pro 6 (since it is the source of my Quicktime movies in Encore 3) and I post it here because I have had no luck getting any responses on other forums including the Creative Cow and Adobe forums.
    I have recently purchased the Adobe Production Premium package and successfully prepared several Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's using Encore 3. However, whenever I attempt to output any of these DVD's to Flash Video by selecting Build>Output to Flash from within Encore 3, my menus transcode, but when Encore gets to my timeline video, the progress bar goes to about 20% almost instantly and remains there forever. I have tried several different types of video files including short Quicktime movies created in Final Cut Pro as well as other formats in the Encore 3 timeline. The result is always as given above. When this happens, I finally have to Force Quit Encore 3 because selecting cancel on the transcode give me an endlessly spinning beach ball.
    I am running Encore 3 (latest updates installed) on an 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) with 12 GB of RAM and under Leopard 10.5.4 (latest version with all updates installed). I have successfully transcoded these timelines that seem to freeze Encore 3 using MPEG SlipStream so I know the files are OK.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Does output to Flash simply not work under Leopard?
    I have written to Adobe Tech Support. I have received no response from Adobe. I feel that someone on this forum must be using Encore 3 (since it is one of the few ways of getting Blu-ray DVD authoring on the Mac) and has tried to output the DVD as Flash video from within Encore 3. I am simply trying to determine (1) if this is a known issue when running Encore 3 under Leopard; (2) if there is any fix to get Output to Flash working from within Encore 3.
    Thank you in advance for responding.
    Tom

    David,
    My hat is off to you for persevering with Encore 3 and getting it to output flash video. AFter reading that you had gotten it to work, I was inspired to try once again. This time I encoded my timeline to DVCPro HD by exporting the FCP project to Compressor. I then took this timeline (an 11 minute video) into Encore 3 and tried to build a flash DVD. I have a main menu and scene selection menu, and they both transcoded fine in about 20 minutes, but once again when Encore got to my timeline, the progress bar moved to about 1-2% and simply stayed there. After 7 hours I finally gave up and canceled the transcode which had never progressed any further and did a Force Quit on Encore.
    I noticed in doing the above, that during the transcode of the menus Activity Monitor shows my cpu is reading 170-190 and varying as you would expect. Once Encore hits my timeline and begins the transcode of that, the cpu drops to 100 and remains there with no real sign of activity.
    Can you tell me if your DVD that you successfully output to flash with Encore 3 had chapter marks in it? I am wondering if they could be the trouble. Some people have indicated that they solved the problem by going back to an earlier version of Quicktime. I am using version 7.5 of Quicktime, which is the latest version. Can you tell me what version of Quicktime you are using on the Mac that succeeded in outputting to Flash video using Encore 3?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Output from DVD Studio Pro plays on computer but not on TV DVD?

    When I output a DVD from DVD Pro (16:9) it plays fine on the computer (and other computers) but not on a conventional DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

    I don't want to take over this thread, but figured why start another when I am having this exact same issue. I create my project, everything is good, I simulate it and everything is good, I burn it to disc and play it on the computer and everything is good, try it in a conventional player and it says it's unreadable and kicks it out. I've tried it in Two different players that both have been able to play movies created in iDVD just fine.
    I browsed my disc I created and it didn't have the standard files (VOB etc) so I thought maybe I mistakenly burned it in HD, checked the encoder settings adn they were set to HD. Fixed that so it was 16:9 SD, burned another and same exact result. Do I need to create a whole new project so it will encode the whole thing in SD? I did do a new movie track and it should have encoded it at SD but I think everything else (Menus, Slideshow, etc) are all in HD still (maybe???). Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated.

  • What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i  to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro?

    What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i  to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro? I used FCP 6, exported using Quick Time.

    DVDs are only SD. There was at one time HD-DVDs, which DVD SP and Compressor can make, but HD-DVDs will only play in Macs and, now obsolete HD-DVD players. HD-DVDs will not play back in standard DVD players or Blu-Ray players. If you want to make a "DVD will be played on DVD player for TV" disc, your only choice is SD.
    If you want HD video on a disc, then you want Blu-Ray. You will need a Blu-Ray burner (Apple does not make a Blu-Ray burner so you will have to buy a third-party Blu-Ray burner), Blu-Ray discs and software that will make a Blu-Ray disc. That could be the latest version of Compressor, or FCPX, or Toast, or Encore.

  • Outputting to DVD - Best Format?

    I am new to Premier Pro and have a Canon Vixia HF-R50. My footage was filmed at 60P (AVCHD) and I want to output to DVD (non-Blue ray). What is the best format for this?
    Fantastic forum here, btw

    As long as you export a compatible file from Premiere Pro (MPEG2-DVD works) you may continue to use Encore CS6 as long as you have a computer and operating system that will run the program
    Since it currently appears Adobe is not going to spend the time/money to build an Encore replacement "from scratch" you will have to look elsewhere
    I do NOT use these, so have NO idea if they will do what you need

  • Best Output for DVD from FCP???

    I'm a newbie and need help. I was outputting from FCP 6.0.4 using Export > QuickTime Movie, then importing that file into DVD Studio Pro. But, a college student who saw it recommended Exporting using Compressor 3.0.3 which I did using the DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes. I noticed an improvement in my DVD quality, however, in every program I've tried and retried so far I get a little short segment (about a 10 second portion) in my half hour long program that all of the sudden goes crazy with distortion and pixelization and image irratic jumping movements. What can I do to create a totally smooth video when going from FCP to Compressor or is there a better way to finally get it into DVD Studio Pro? I want the highest quality solution as the video footage is originally HD. Thanks for your help, Desperate Russ

    good luck to you.
    The advice is more or less sound but you have several unnecessary steps. Your idea is to consolidate all of the FCP timelines and their associated media into a single timeline; you are nesting the project.
    Forcing everything to render is good.
    Export the entire project as a self contained movie.
    Import the self contained movie into DVDSP.
    You would perform these steps with each of the individual movie clips you want to have as menu items in your DVD project. Maybe. You might be able to use one single large movie and set go-tos for each chapter. Whatever.
    But there is no reason to restart your computer.
    And there may be no good reason to use Compressor to create the MPEG2 files.

  • How to output to DVD for duplication

    OK, my video is finished. BUT, the file is very large: 5.3 gigs at present. I'm sure that its too large for a dvd disk. So what's the limit for filesize and how can I reduce my video to the necessary size for reproduction? 
    Also, now that my dvd burner isn't working correctly, I need to send the video to a company that can make copies for me. So my other issue is, how do I output the video from Encore for duplication to DVD? Can encore export all the settings, including menus and content? thanks
    My understanding is, a dvd can't be any larger than maybe 4.7 gigs, and that's really pushing it.

    Tell Encore to create an image ISO on your hard drive... any other computer with ISO aware software may be used to write a DVD
    If you exported from PPro as MPEG2-DVD and your 2 files (audio and video) total 5.3Gig you will need to author in Encore and create a dual layer project for writing to ISO
    While some is for CS5 and later, many of the ideas/tutorials in the link below do still apply

  • Firewire DV video output for DVD player?

    Hi everyone,
    I am just wondering, does anyone know of any way to get the DVD player program to output NTSC DV via firewire like FCP allows for external monitors?
    I would love a way to test my dvds without having to waste so many discs... Any suggestions?
    -patrick

    What is outputting DVD Player's signal to external monitor going to achieve?
    The failure of DVDs burned is due either to the media used (the quality of DVD), the bit-rate settings used or more generally, the DVDSP workflow (you are burning via DVDSP and/or Compressor aren't you?) or the DVD player that the discs are being played on. (Different models cope with different variables, bit rates , brand of DVD used, how old the player is, whether the lens has been cleaned last - if at all...)
    If it's a DVD burning issue, describe your workflow and post in the the relevant forum.
    P.S. If I've misunderstood the question, please ignore the above...

  • Best output for DVD

    What's the best output method for publishing onto a DVD that
    users can access? I would also like to be able to have the users

    HI,
    Theres a million and one SWF to AVI converters out there
    (Sothinkmedia *dot* com) is one of them. That will also allow you
    to attach a playback bar, or, just use the one in your media
    player, similar to what you see in YouTube.

  • Obvious ? Want *best* output for DVD - what do I choose?

    OK - this seems rudimentary but I've been on iMovie '08 for about 4 months now and it's still not obvious. I am shooting video footage on my Panasonic DV Camera - it's a great quality. I was under the assumption that I can import into iMovie without losing any quality, edit clips and keep same quality (and I'm not changing any color, audio, or cropping, etc - just clipping out some images, adding transitions), then export in same DVD-ready quality. I want to take the footage and put onto a DVD to watch on a TV.
    So, why doesn't that seem obvious? I can't really find the right export. It's cramming down size to 640 x 480 and setting quality at medium. Using H.264 is a compressor - and if I want a DVD, I'd prefer it not to be compressed since it's going to be converted to a MP2, right?
    Am I missing something? What do I use to Export at the same pristine quality in which I brought it in to then use on a DVD (and I mean shown on a SCREEN big viewing)?
    I hate to commit "apple blashphemy" but when I used Roxio Media Creator or Adobe Premier Elements on my PC, the video was of better quality. I have Final Cut Express and maybe the answer is to spend about 40 hours learning it better because I much preferred the ease of iMovie for quick footage. But, I can't stand the end product looking worse.
    Seems like iMovie is fine if I want to shove into a smaller-visual-size, poorer-quality video for MobileMe or email or YouTube but not keeping the quality I bothered to take? (And, even with the latter, the quality is poorer when I do a side by side of video footage from my dig camera - canon powershot s5 is - from straight out of the camera AVE vs pulled into iMovie, added transition, uploaded).
    I know there are many of you that are professional videographers out there and can still make iMovie work in your flow for short, quick projects - am I completely missing something here?
    I just want the best quality output - thanks for your help -
    Alexa
    p.s. To establish - I am using DV tapes an importing directly. I also have an ADVC-300 for bringing in analog. I am not messing around with anything during capture.

    I'm going to have to disagree with the other poster here. I don't think iMovie 08 is touching the DV format as it's captured/edited. It may be using a method of changing the display, by only displaying a single field (as your screen is progressive, the 2nd field is kinda irrelevant unless it's an interlaced display.)
    I do promise to go back to Muppet Labs and test this at some point this week.
    On the other hand, the real problem is to "share" the work, iMovie is converting it into h.264 format...and then iDVD is converting it to MPEG-2 format.
    To work around this, is pretty simple: Export using Quicktime:
    For the Video, change your compressor to DV/DVCPro; the footage is interlaced, the quality slider is useless on the DV codec.
    Change your audio to 48k 16 bit stereo.
    These match the incoming DV footage, and should export it out 'untouched' for iDVD to make an MPEG-2 file from.

  • Poor Output Quality DVD vs. Mpeg

    I recently scanned some slides at 360 dpi to a 4 by 6 size when I place them in the timeline they looked perfect. When I burned a DVD the quality was off a little bit especially at 1080p. When I exported as a computer file " MPEG HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality " and played it on the TV it was perfect...any suggestions why the DVD output quality was a little off  (faces appears to be mottled and lines are pixelated).
    I've tried different project settings and the results are the same except anything that's interlaced seems worse, more pixelated.
    The Properties for most of the slides are as follows
    Type:Jpeg
    File size: 1.8mb ( and higher )
    image size: 2159 x1439
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0

    fader5
    Could you please clarify your question and its details because I am reading your details as 1080p formats as AVCHD DVD versus HD MPEG2.mpg file.
    I am interpreting your question with no involvement of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    I think that you have burned some photos in Premiere Elements
    Publish+Share
    Disc
    AVCHD
    with Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
    and would like to see a bit "better" when at playback on your TV's player.
    The following
    When I burned a DVD the quality was off a little bit especially at 1080p
    same except anything that's interlaced seems worse, more pixelated
    forces my focus away from
    Publish+Share
    Disc
    DVD
    where there are no progressive offerings, just interlaced ones.
    I am assuming that your player is a Blu-ray player that supports AVCHD DVD or one of the multi media players that supports AVCHD DVD.
    Now when you export the Timeline content to file
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    MPEG
    with Presets = HDTV 1080p29.97, the MPEG2.mpg that you obtain displays better on your TV. What is the MPEG2.mpg on...USB Flash
    Drive or memory card?
    Please review and consider and clarify. Please excuse if I have misinterpreted your question. If I read it correctly, then I will offer comments
    for the possible whys.
    Thanks.

  • Output to DVD - file types?

    OK, so I've gotten myself turned around by being on too many forums.
    On a different forum, I was told that to create a TV-quality DVD (so put it in and watch on your TV), you want to have a MPEG-2 file and that you don't want to "export" it as anything else from a video editor (in this case FCE) or you're using compression (H.264 or otherwise). Said FCE should just have a step to burn to DVD which would take the movie and put in it's full form (w/all edits) on best quality on DVD.
    Am I missing something here - I only see export? And, I was told to export to a QT Movie at Best Encoding Quality, 30 fps and then the correct aspect ration (4:3 or 16:9).
    Basically, I am trying to accomplish two things with video that is captures either directly via DV or I have an ADVC-300 that can pull in (and improve analog):
    1) Video data files that are "computer viewing" or online video-sharing quality ONLY (using compression, sized for 480 x 360) - basically they are "previews" of the content on camcorder or vcr tapes b/c someone doesn't want to see all of it in high quality; they want to know what's on their first!
    2) DVD-Quality movie from the footage. Create a menu, they put it in the DVD player and watch it. I thought I was supposed to do edits, export to highest quality QT movie, and then use iDVD or DVD Studio Pro to create menu and burn. Thought settings should be using default QT movie export though that does say H.264 unless I change it to something else.
    Can someone help me straighten out my confusion? This other board does have a lot of Windows and Premiere Elements users (one is trying to get me to make all data video files into .wmv's which I do not think is the greatest idea) so is that the issue.
    Hoping you can help me clear my head with the proper settings for output - thanks!
    Alexa

    OK - that's what I thought (and I'm reading the FCE manual to verify here). So, I just want to do what I thought, right? Export to a QT Movie (not even using Export to QT Conversion), designate any markers, choose self-contained or not)? Yes?
