Outputting DVD video to TV monitor

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to output DVD video from my Mac Mini through firewire, using my DV camcorder as a pass through to a VCR/TV. I can't seem to get it to work, and seem to think that the problem lies either in the encoding of DVD video or copyright protection, since I haven't been able to do it successfully.
Thanks,
Andy Golebiowski

No, it has to do with the capabilities of the system. There is no way that I am aware of (and some pretty thorough google searching has revealed nothing) to cause DVD footage to play out through a firewire port.
Has anyone else heard of a way of being able to do this?
If you "rip" your DVD video to a Quicktime format that can be brought into iMovie or Final Cut, you would be able to stream the video back out to the firewire. But using a non-linear editor as a playback mechanism is a bit weird.

  • Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor?

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
    Thx.

    You'd need something to redirect the VGA signal to a DisplayPort connector on the iMac. Your other option is VGA is easily adaptable to S-Video, though its resolution is not as great as VGA and using http://www.elgato.com/ 's hardware for that. A third one is using a Remote Desktop app for the iPad. Several exist.

  • DVD video-YUV output test using NI 5112

    "As we all know, One of DVD video-output type is called YUV. I want to analyze the YUV output.But i have no experience on it. I just know that YUV is composed of RGB at a scale.Have anybody got some datasheet about the scope shape of the YUV output? And how to analyze it with NI5112? Thanks"

    Hi
    The answer to this question can get quite complicated fairly quickly. The YUV signal is another color space the same way RGB is a color space to describe colors. I don�t know of a specific data sheet that describes YUV, although there are a few standards that should describe it at SMPTE.ORG. A good reference for this would be a book called Video Demystified by Keith Jack. It�s the book I personally use, although there are a few other good ones out there.
    Essentially, one, or all of the three lines will have the vertical and horizontal synchronization information on them. These signals are usually the same signals as what you would on common composite televisions signals. HDTV signals will have these, but they are slightly different, such as a tri-level hsync signal. The NI PXI-5122 will be able to acquire these signals with a video trigger fairly easily. There are some issues of the some DVD manufacturers adding or changing the signals slightly as they try to prevent copying of their material, which could interfere with the NI PXI-5122�s video triggering ability. If you wanted to acquire all three signals at the same time, you would need two NI PXI-5122s. Or you can Y and U, and while generating the same information from the DVD player, change connections and acquire the V signal after wards.
    Depending on what you want to measure, you may need a special DVD that will play standard video test patterns, and test lines depending on the specific measurement desired. If you just wanted to measure the sync parameters, signals that are always present regardless of what the video image is, you would not need the special DVD.
    In general, the Y signal will be a 0 to 0.70 volt signal that corresponds to the luminance of the video signal. The U and V will be signals that range from a negative to positive voltage to represent the hue and saturation of the instantaneous color.
    I hope this has helped a little; there is a lot of information to answer your questions.
    If you would like a more packaged solution, a company called microLEX Systems A/S has developed a video test system with the NI PXI-5122.

  • Field order on DVD Video disk projects - cannot output ".VOB" with upper field first,,

    Can anyone help ? - in Australia most DVD players (PAL) display the best video image in terms of picture quality and motion smoothness when the "VOB" files created on the DVD Video disk (for PAL), are Upper field first. I can only get "VOB" files with Lower field first from Premiere Elements 9.0.
    I have spent many hours experimenting, and then 90 minutes talking to Adobe support who were very helpful - but unable to resolve the issue.
    My Premiere Elements 9.0 has been updated to 9.0.1, but I am still unable to obtain VOB's with Upper field first. The resultant DVD's are not easy to watch.
    (MPEG files can be created with Upper field first from the "Advanced" button - but there is no Advanced button on the Blu Ray/DVD option in the "Share" tab.)
    Thanking you, Dave.

    Hi Steve, Yes - the output VOB's are lower field first, this can be observed
    as "fuzzy" picures when playing the resultant DVD on a DVD player - the
    motion is slightly jerky as well making for a video that is rather hard to
    watch for too long - like trying to read without glasses (if you need them).
    The input files are 720x576 16:9 PAL - Upper field first.
    I have verified that the output VOB's are lower field first, using other PC
    based video players and viewing the "properties" of the file.
    Also, after spending about 90 minutes on the phone to Adobe support, and
    exhausting all possible variations of project settings with them - they
    confirmed the VOB's are output as lower field first in PAL format and were
    of the opinion that one could not output PAL Upper field first VOB's using
    Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1.,
    This is rather disappointing as from what I understand the Australian
    standard is PAL Upper field first (720x576) 25fps. They suggested that I put
    in a submission to the "Wish List", which I have done - no response yet.
    Thanks, Dave.

  • Designing and rendering for output on an HD LCD monitor 16:9

    Hi,
    I've just completed an animation at 720 x 480 pixels.
    I made sure that all my images imported were larger than I needed, just in case.
    I need this to be played on a 42 inch monitor 1080 p.
    I just realized that 720 x 480 is going to be pixelated on that size.
    what output settings do I need to choose to make it look good on 42 inch plasma 1080p
    If this is a dumb question I'm sorry, then please point me to some tutorials. All I can find are tutorials on how to do whiz bang effects, there aren't many simple ones for stuff like this.

    It depends on what device you will use (ie, connect to the LCD TV) to feed the content.
    Widescreen DVDs are always 720x480 anamorphic (like the NTSC DV Widescreen preset in AE), and if all other variables are good (source material, encoding, etc),  they can and do look terrific. Contrary to popular belief, there evidently are other aspects to image quality, besides pure pixel count.
    If you want better than that and send HD video to your TV or monitor, it can't be a DVD. A DVD-Video disc is always standard definition. So, it has to be a Blu-Ray disc,  or hook-up a computer display output to the LCD TV, or use one of the very affordable HDMI-capable media players (such as the Western Digital TV, or Popcorn Hour, for example).
    In all of these cases, you can pick the HDTV 1080 Composition preset in AE, with the frame rate you need. The resulting Composition will be 1920x1080 with square pixels.
    For Blu-Ray output you need an authoring application like Adobe Encore and a Blu-Ray burner (and player, obviously).
    To send HD video from a media player like the the WD TV, or from a computer hooked up to your TV, you usually want to encode a high-bitrate H264 or MPEG-2 video file.
    Since this is too broad in reach, once you figure out which route you want, let us know and we'll try to help with the details.

  • How do I edit a DVD video in Final Cup Pro

    Hey all,
    I'm working on a project and I need to take the video on a DVD, bring it in to Final Cut Pro, add titles to it (text) and then output it to be burned back to a DVD.
    I can't loose any quality either, so it has to look the same as it does on the original DVD, just now with text.
    I've already looked around at other programs but none seem to work.
    HanDbreak: This program takes FOREVER to encode the DVD. It said it was going to take 5 hours to rip a 90 min movie. Unacceptable.
    ffXMpegX: This program simply doesn't work. When I attempt to press the "encode" button after picking my settings, it tells me to find a specific file before it can continue (?!)
    MPEG Streamclip: This is being touted as the best by people on forums, but I find it to be the worst. The GUI is downright confusing as there isn't one! There aren't any options, buttons, settings, drop down menu's, fields or ANYTHING. In fact, this thing looks just like a bad video player. I dragged on dropped a .VOB file in there, it took it and the video appeared but there aren't ANY OPTIONS after that. Am I missing something?
    MactheRipper: Okay, so this is alright for ripping the VIDEO_TS folder and that's about it. More or less pointless for what I want to do I guess.
    So can anyone please help me? I really need to get this done.
    Thanks

    I can't loose any quality either, so it has to look the same as it does on the original DVD, just now with text
    Not possible. FCP cannot edit DVD video, it needs to be converted. Conversion means quality loss. Then you edit, and convert AGAIN to DVD...more quality loss.
    Want zero quality loss? You need to get a hold of the original material that was used to make the DVD.
    MPEG STREAMCLIP...drop the clip in the box...the look in the FILE menu under EXPORT...There are your options. But this won't be zero quality loss. Again, that is not possible.

  • Getting Ripped DVD Video and Audio Into Encore

    Do you have previously authored DVDs that need rework?  Do you want to add menus with greater impact and functionality?  Do you want to add some additional program or supplemental material?  Does a client want their product demo DVD to be updated to reflect the capabilities of the new and improved version, but the source files no longer exist?  Using Adobe Encore DVD and a freeware utility called DVD Decrypter (DVDD), you can accomplish this quickly and easily.
    Disclaimer: I do not support the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted works.  The authors and distributors of the software I use have made it clear that they do not support illegal copying.  This guide is intended solely to assist you in ripping and copying DVD video to which you have the legal rights.  Any use of this guide to infringe the copyright of someone else’s intellectual property is prohibited.
    This guide is based on Adobe Encore DVD 1.5.1 and DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0.  Let’s Begin!
    Place the DVD to be ripped in your DVD drive and launch DVDD.  If you have more than one drive (e.g., a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner) make sure the one with the disc is selected in the Source dropdown list in the main program window.  Now we need to set up DVDD to extract video in a way that is “Encore friendly”.  This is the toughest part of the whole exercise.  Click on the Tools menu item and choose “Settings…”. 
    Settings
    General Tab: You can leave these set at their defaults if you like.  Personally, I specify a custom Default Destination.  I put my ripped video assets all in one place anyway, and having a default destination means I have one less thing to do when I rip a DVD.
    IFO Mode Tab: Make sure that “Select Main Movie PGC” and “Enable Stream Processing” are checked.  “Uncheck Suspect Cells” is probably a good default safety check.  If your hard disks are formatted as NTFS, set File Splitting to “None”.  I leave “Copy IFO File” checked with the default sub-items checked.  Make sure that “Patch M2V Timecode” is unchecked.  The items in the Create Additional Files section are purely optional.  The author of DVDD has been kind enough to list which programs need which files; notice that Encore DVD isn’t listed as needing any of these extra files.  I do keep the “Stream Information” box checked.  DVDD generates very informative file names, but I like to keep “Include PGC Number” under File Names checked.  Be advised you will get some lengthy file names after DVDD is finished ripping.
    Stream Processing Tab: Since we enabled stream processing in the IFO Mode tab, we need to tell DVDD how to process those streams.  To save yourself time and confusion later, check the “Convert PCM to WAV” box.  Earlier versions of Encore required a Demuxed audio stream and a Raw video stream.  Encore 1.5.1 can accept either type of video stream (Raw or Demuxed) but it does still require a Demuxed audio stream.  However, I still recommend using Raw video and Demuxed audio, if only because it seems to be somewhat faster to process in DVDD.  This workflow is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of Encore.
    So let’s set up the Stream Processing tab now.  In the Demux box, enter “0x8? 0xA? 0xC?”.  This ensures that all audio streams in the selected PGC, whether AC3, PCM or MPEG will be set to Demux.  In the Raw box, enter “0xE0”.  This ensures that the video from the selected PGC will be set to Raw.  
    Additional Notes about the Stream Processing Tab:
    1. For those of you asking the question, “What the heck is a PGC?” it’s just DVD-speak for the titles in a DVD project.  And I’m not talking about the opening or end credits, either; I’m talking about the titles that result, for example, from the timelines you create in an Encore DVD project.  There is a subtle difference between a PGC and a VTS (title set), but that's not important right now.
    2. Happily, recent versions of DVDD create a WAV file after ripping that will import directly into Encore.  Versions prior to 3.2.0.0 would create a WAV file that had to be imported to, and exported from, a sound editing program like Adobe Audition, Goldwave or SoundForge before Encore would recognize it.
    Events Tab: For convenience sake, I recommend setting “Set Program Mode” in the Startup section to “IFO”.  That way, whenever you launch DVDD, it will look familiar to you.  You may safely ignore all of the other tabs in the Settings dialog. 
    Ripping
    1.Under the Input Tab of the main program window, select the PGC you want to rip.  You can only do one at a time.
    2.Switch to the Stream Processing Tab.  Verify that Enable Stream Processing is checked.
    3.Check or uncheck any or all of the video and audio streams that are listed.  Highlight each one to verify that all audio streams are set to Demux and the video stream is set to Raw.
    4.If you didn’t select Default Destination in the General Settings Tab, then you need to tell DVDD where to put the ripped files now.
    5.Click on the big DVD-to-Disk icon.
    6.DVDD will announce, quite loudly, when it has finished.  At that point you can rename the files or import them as is into Encore.
    I hope you find this guide useful and that it helps you get the most out of your investment in Adobe Encore DVD.

    OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
    1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
    2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
    I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

  • Output iPad video to 27" iMac using iPad VGA adaptor?

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
    Thx.

    No.  The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model.  It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2.  The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not.  If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out.  If not, return the cables within two weeks.

  • Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

    I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
    We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector. 
    It's been working great up until yesterday.  Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac.  Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
    I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc.  Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
    Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
    My setup:
    After Effects CS6
    Mac Pro
    OSX Version 10.7.5
    Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
    RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
    After Effects Video Preview preferences:
    Output Device:  FireWire
    Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

    Thanks for your reply, Rick.
    I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras.  I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources.  Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

  • Video "tearing" on monitors

    I am using Premiere CS5.5.  I have a GTX 460 card with the MPE GPU acceleration turned on.  I am using the DVI output from the card to my GUI monitor and the HDMI output to a second computer monitor (Samsung - supposedly hi-def, though I know this is not the same as a true hi-def production video monitor).
    I am still working with a lot of SD footage.  It seems like anytime there is significant camera movement in an SD clip, there will be tearing somewhere across the middle of the image.  This is true in my source monitor, my program monitor and my second full-screen monitor.  The location of the tearing can vary with each playback.   If I look at the same clip with the VLC player, I don't see the tearing.  Is there something I can do in Premiere to stop this from happening?
    J. D.

    DVI/HDMI Monitoring is a smart solution and has a lot of benefits (e.G. GPU processed video can send directy out to the monitor) but also has drawbacks becaus sometimes you are at risk of occasionally stuttering (SDI framebuffer cards are more stable at this currently) and you have to set the screen refresh rate for yourself (50Hz, 59,976Hz, 60Hz, 48Hz...)
    --> Video tearing is a thing that should not occour on a modern computer with a GTX 460.
    Do you also have video tearing with VLC media player or Windows Media Player?
    --> You have to check you Video driver settings to get rid of the tearing I think...
    I don't have any video tearing with my Nvidia Cards exept one really old 8400GS in a server...

  • DVD/Video combo for work on FCE

    Hi All,
    Whilst not a strictly FCE prob, your advice would be most welcome. I need to put some old video onto FCE. Should I look at a DVD/VIDEO combo that can output to DV tape or seek a video 'grabber' (is that the right term?) that connects to what looks like a USB memory stick and then import from that to FCE. Which would replicate the better quality? I guess, finally, can anyone recommend a good dvd/vid combo anyway as the market out there is swamped? I am UK based.
    Thanks all. I see great advice for cameras and other bits on this forum, hence my enquiry. I just want to crack on with putting all my parents old video onto FCE, edit and then to disk, ultimately to make them an anniversary gift.
    Best wishes.
    JR

    Jakroberts,
    My apologies - I think you may find the ADVC100 is discontinued and the newer model is the ADVC110. Would pay to check on the Canopus site to see if meets your requirements before buying.
    Also, if buying on eBay, remember that the input voltages in the US are different to the rest of the world. If you're using a Firewire cable then this won't apply (see: (http://www.canopus.com/products/ADVC110/index.php) Many mains adapters now are multi voltage units and will work from 100-250v AC, but make sure before buying. Could be a simple case of a quick mains plug change once you get the unit . . . but ask the question before buying!
    Take a look for the ADVC110 on ebay here: http://search.ebay.com/Canopus_W0QQmfeZsearch
    Good luck!

  • Editing DVD video

    I have a client who is providing to me DVDs of various videos he has had produced, and wishes me to include them in a website. Since I got Premiere Pro as part of my CS4 package, I thought, no problem - I can just import the DVD video and edit out the first bit (the color bars and a blue screen with the production notes/title for the TV stations), and reencode it as an FLV to put on my media server and play via a streaming player.
    I got it loaded into premeir (after I found I couldn't just open a video, but rather have to start a new project - very annoying!), I figured out how to place the .vob file onto the timeline after I imported it into the project... but now I cannot figure out how to select the first 24 seconds and delete it.
    I tried searching the local and online help files, but nothing came up. This can't be that rare, can it?
    Thanks!

    I cannot figure out how to select the first 24 seconds and delete it.
    You've gotten links to some tutorials, that will tell you how to do this and more, but for those following along at home, there are two quick ways to do just this:
    1.) Click on the Head of your Video Clip, and drag it to the right. I'd do this with the Info Panel visible, just to make sure that my "click-drag" was perfectly 00;00;24;00 (there are other monitors for the TimeCode, but I like Info Panel). If you wish to leave that 24 sec. gap, just click-drag. If you wish the new Head to move to 00;00;000;00, add the Ctrl key, and when you Trim that 24 sec., the new In Point (Head) will move to the beginning of the Timeline.
    2.) Move the CTI (Current Timeline Indicator) to 00;00;24;00, and hit Ctrl+k to Razor your targeted Tracks' Clips at that point. Rt-click and choose Ripple Delete to close that gap, or Clear to leave it.
    As for starting a Project first, that is the basis for all work to be done, and its settings should reflect your source Assets. Trust me, you really do not want to even try to imagine Video editing without a Project. I know it sounds like unnecessary work, when all you want to do is just edit, but it is the entire foundation of any editing session. You cannot build a skyscraper without a foundation - you would not want to try it here either.
    Good luck,
