PE9 ProjectPreset for Mini DVD VOB files from Sony DCR-DVD308

I am new to PE9 and I am having trouble bringing in widescreen video from finalized mini-DVDs that are generated by my Sony DCR-DVD 308 into widescreen format.  The video on the mini-DVD is widescreen but when I bring it into PE9, it opens a dialog box for the video importer, I get the mismatch warning and it brings it in as a standard aspect ratio video.  I have tried numerous different project presets including "NTSC-Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders like Sony DCR" but to no avail.  The video that comes in is always standard aspect ratio.  What am I doing wrong?

I ended up going back to the Sony program that came with the camera and coverted out the files to MPEG using that software first, and then brought them into PE9 with success.  The video quality is a little better too.  Thanks for the help.

  • Problem with reading mpeg files from Sony DCR-SR100 30GB Handycam

    I just purchased a new Sony DCR-SR100 Handycam.
    I can upload successfully to my desktop (PowerBook G4)via a USB cable.
    I have all the latest updates for iLife, iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Quicktime. None of those applications will open the imported mpeg.
    When trying to import the file to the iMovie application I get the following error message:
    "The file could not be imported. The file M2UOOOO4.MPG can't be imported; Quicktime couldn't parse it: -2048"
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Igor,
    welcome to the  board
    ... hm, sorry to say, but:
    iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
    you try to teach the old dog new tricks... just one kind of mpegs can be handled with iM, that is mp4, imported via iPhoto6 (some stillcams can record a kind of "movin' images"...)
    sooo, you need to convert your stuff...
    mpegs are meant for playback only, they are a delivery format (thanks, Lennart, for this phrase).. editing/processing such files, needs to demuxx them => 3rd party tools...
    there's a very good and free solution:
    Streamclip (free)
    not using a miniDV camcorder, you miss the convenience of the iApps...

  • Creat VOB files From FC Pro Timline or Compressor

    Is it possible to create DVD VOB files from the timeline of FC Pro or Compressor?
    This is feature that is available in Edius, is there anything similar in FC pro or Compressor?

    Hi,
    There is no direct way to create VOB files from FCP nor Compressor but you may use DVD Studio Pro.
    1- Export your sequence from FCP using "Export via Compressor..."
    2- In Compressor, drag from the settings tab a setting that suits your needs (ex :Apple>DVD>Best Quality 90 minutes)
    3- In DVDSP import the resulting files (m2v and ac3) in the" ressources tab", drag those 2 files in the "track 1" icon of the graphical tab, right-click and choose "first play".
    Then, you just have to buid a project (ie a VIDEO_TS folder containing your VOB files) using Option-Command-C (File>advanced burn>build)
    Hope it helps.

  • Import of VOB files from DVD are cropped to 540x480, instead of maintaining native full raster of 720x480.

    When I import the VOB files from a DVD, they are automatically cropped to 540x480, which strangely is 9:8 aspect ratio, instead of maintaining native full raster of 720x480. Inside of Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Streamclip, and DVD-Lab Pro, the DVD's VOB files open with the correct aspect ratio, and the resolution is indicated to be 720x480.

    The answer is to move to Pro Tools Adobe is not concerned with you anymore. They are only concerned with their profits.

  • Different Audio Tracks when you import DVD VOB Files

    I imported some vob files from a dvd and it only gives me the first audio track in premiere but i need the 2nd audio track. How do i tell premiere i only want the 2nd track?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Colin Brougham wrote:
    ... would like to know for the future how to resolve this issue.
    If there is no way to get the 2nd audio track then i would consider that to be a bug that hopefully Adobe can fix in next patch.
    Ideally when you import a vob fileset premiere should automatically drop all the audio tracks into the timeline, not just the first one.
    Don't use a DVD, plain and simple. The fact that we can edit this stuff at all is just a handy shortcut that works most of the time. I suspect that, given the nature of the material and the far greater precedence for native editing of professional camera sources, this is about as good as its going to get. You can certainly report it as a bug (which its not) or request it as a feature, but I sincerely doubt that this would be given a great deal of priority.
    I'm not saying this just to be a jerky naysayer: the fact is that there is limited time and resources that go into development of each point release and each full version, and the things that benefit the most people have the greater likelihood of being fixed or included. I'd be surprised if even 1% of Premiere users needed this functionality. Believe me--I've wanted dozens of things that I know won't ever make it into the program, simply because they won't benefit many people. But make a feature request and see what happens...
    wow??  what a terrible, mean, and unnecessary negative response?  "jerky naysayer" ??  never heard that term, but it sounds accurate.
    Thats like walking up to someone and saying "i dont mean to be cruel, but your fat and ugly"
    anyways, not sure what your point is, other than you have a crystal ball that tells you less than 1% of the premiere users in the world ever need to grab a b-roll from a dvd and i think i could find plenty of people who would disagree with you. I have been doing digital video editing for 20 years and been using premiere for about 15 years now i think since it first came out. I work at a tv station with lots of other video editors and we have all needed to pull a clips off dvd's many times in our lives. Im sorry that i dont have an XDCAM HD video tape of the first moon launch to capture, so for now i have to grab a clip from a dvd.
    Thanks for your attempted "help" but i'd rather you not hiijack my thread by negating my questions and requests. My company has purchased probably over a million dollars in adobe software licenses over the years and there is nothing wrong with my opinions and requests.
    thanks

  • Why doesn't QuickTime 7 or QT-PRO or the MPEG 2 Plug-In play DVD\VOB files?

    I can’t tell you how ripped off I feel. Please explain why you don't come out and say “QuickTime 7, The latest, greatest, best thing since sliced bread, doesn’t play DVD\VOB files. Neither does the $32 QuickTime-Pro nor the $23 MPEG 2 Plug-In. Why did I have to pay $55 dollar to find this out? The ads are deceptive. Maybe it’s by accident, once you know it doesn't play commercially-produced DVD movies and you re-read the ads you notice that they never come out and say it will play commercial DVDs either. The only place it actually comes out and says it does not play commercial DVD Movies is in the last sentence of the help file that says you need to purchase the plug in to play VOB movies......
    Here are the links:
    QuickTime page:
    Never actually says you will be able to view this type of store bought DVD but it shows pictures of them(king Kong).
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/win.html
    QuickTime PRO Page:
    This is the really deceptive page, it shows a scene from Kong Kong and the "recording tool bar" over it as well as out and out deception like where is says "Even those who simply like to watch movies or movie trailers in full screen and save their favorite movies for viewing later will enjoy using QuickTime 7 Pro."
    it also has a right info bar titled
    "Don’t Steal Movies”
    followed by
    “If you see something you want to watch again and again, QuickTime 7 Pro lets you quickly save your favorite content to your hard disk.
    (Picture of menu showing “Save as QuickTime Movie”)
    “Professional studios around the world spend millions of dollars and man-hours producing commercial entertainment. Please don’t steal their work or in ten years, it will cost $50(2) to see
    a movie in the theater."
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/win.html
    Finally the truth, "Using the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component with VOB files" support file page:.
    The first paragraph says this:
    "If you have the optional QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component"(a Link to the store) "installed with QuickTime 6 or later, you can play back video in Video Object (VOB files), which are used in the DVD-Video specification and contain the mutiplexed audio and MPEG-2 video data."
    Then in the very last sentence on the page it says "Please note that the component will not play back encrypted VOB files, such as those found on commercially-produced DVDs, in QuickTime Player."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300516

    Mr. Napoli, I fully understand that it is illegal to circumvent the anti-coping protection however, it is my Understanding via "Fair use and Practices" provisions in the US copyright laws that I can make a copy of my DVD for personal use. If this was truly illegal then Apple's MAC app "HandBrake" is illegal. So lets not pretend the functionality to move/copy commercial DVD content to your IPOD for viewing is outside of Apple's realm, it’s not. As far as being “clearly stated” the information would have to be presented on the same page as the offer to purchase in order to be “clearly stated”. Apple puts the info in a “support” FAQ you would only read after you realize the software doesn’t do what you expected. The application support guys at my local store told me today that “everyone thinks that QuickTime will let you watch commercial DVDs” Apple need to offe3r a “FREE” update enabling this functionality.

  • No audio when using Compressor to convert DVD .VOB files to Quicktime...

    Hello,
    From a previous post that I found, my understanding is that you can use Compressor to convert DVD .VOB files to quicktime files. I've tried this several different ways but I only get video and no audio. Is it possible to also get audio?
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    As far as I know, no way to make ANY conversion from a VOB file using Compressor.
    You can download MPEG Streamclip for free and extract the elementary streams from the VOB files . . . of course, you can do it from your own DVDs, not from commercial ones.

  • DVD Player do not play DVD[VOB] files when on a network storage

    Hi, since installing ML [10.8] [clean install] DVD Player return an error "The media type is not supported" msg when I try to play a movie stored on a readynas NV+ network storage. The RN is accessible in finder and all movies are there, there is no username & password required to access the storage which is on public. DVDplayer is set to accept incoming files through the firewall. The file was playing normally before when the mac was on Lion [10.7] with same configuration. If I copy the file to the computer HDD, no problem. I am computer literate but not an expert. Any tip is welcome, thank you.

    I have exactly the same issue on my mid 2011 MacMini which I recently upgraded to ML. I have connected an external DVD drive to check whether the country code had to be changed to overcome it. The Apple DVD-Player played the DVD fine, I noticed from the "DVD information" menu that the country code had it fact changed (4 changes left). However the next time I tried to play a file from my NAS (External HDD connected to TC) the Apple DVD-Player showed the same error message "The media type is not supported". My network setting are unchanged vs. before when I was able to play such VOB files from the NAS, my end 2006 iMac running on Lion does also play those files. What's wrong here?

  • Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files?

    Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files so I can edit them? I have some .vob files that were recorded from old VHS tapes and want to share the content with others. Can I read in the .vob into QuickTime, edit them, and then save them as mpeg or wmv movies?
    Thanks!

    Hi Daniel,
    There are several options. I'll just post what works for me.
    Perian is a small component for Quicktime Player (and other apps that use QT) this adds many more codecs that Quicktime PLayer can play.
    http://perian.org/
    Movist is a player, much more capable than QT (play lists, remember last played file, more control for sub titles etc) It can play all QT formats using Quicktime's codecs including formats when Perian is installed , but also uses FFmpeg to decode nearly anything you can throw at it.
    http://code.google.com/p/movist/
    VLC is another player. Not as elegant as Movist, also play nearly anything you throw at it.

  • Logical path for getting a Flat file from application server

    Hi All,
    We have loaded some .csv files to application server, what is the logical path we have to mention in the infopackage scheduler screen? please guide me how to give the path for getting a flat file from application server.
    Thanks,
    Sairam.

    Hi Sairam,
    I hope you know which location you have saved in the Application server.
    Now if you go to the Infopackage and click on the "External Data" tab, there you will see Radio Buttons for
    1) Client Workstation
    2) Application Server
    Choose the second radio button, then in the Field "Name of the File" you will be able to use the F4 help and browse AL11 transaction through this option. You can then choose the File.
    Hope this helps

  • Problems sharpening high ISO-files from Sony A700 in ACR 4.2

    According to the reported problems with sharpening/noise-reduction high ISO-RAWs from Canon-cameras, the same issue seams to appear on ARW-Files of the Sony alpha 700.
    Many of A700-users claim, that the pictures show a sort of watercolour effect. These effect will be the more recognizable, the higher the ISO-setting at the camera was. To explain what I mean, heres a 100%-crop of an shot at ISO 1600:
    [sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
    The writing seems somehow rough; there are a lot oft artifacts at the edges. Settings were:
    Basic: Dynamic/Vibrance 0
    Detail: Amount 33%, Radius 0.6, Detail 0 (!), Masking 20, Luminance 14, Color 10.
    (The edges would have been much rougher, if I had set Detail to 25 (default) ore more.)
    And here is what the Sony Image Data Converter did:
    [sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
    The edges are clear, I cant see any artifacts.
    Now my questions:
    Is this problem typical for the Sony A700 or does it appear to other cameras too?
    How can I avoid this problem using ACR 4.2? I really dont want to use the Sony-Converter, because its slow and complex to handle.
    Which are the best settings for sharpening and NR files from the A700 in ACR 4.2?
    Please excuse my English Im German.
    Anna

    >[sorry, I don't know how to loadup images here]
    Anna, you can't upload images directly to the Adobe forum, but must upload them to your own photo sharing site and then use a HTML link to the picture or the site.
    If you don't have a photo sharing site, there are several free ones, such as
    eSnips, and
    Pixentral
    If you need help with HTML, this site has a good :
    tutorial
    > Wait for Camera Raw 4.3...
    Very interesting, Jeff. I'm sure you can't provide any further information at this time, but it would wonderful if ACR offered a full fledged noise reduction program such as Bibble does by incorporating the major functionality of Noise Ninja.

  • Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

    Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
    Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
    Thanks in advance.
    Desmond

    Which sony camera? there are a lot.
    Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.
    Here...I have a workflow tutorial for this: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial

  • Transfer epub files from sony reader/pc to playbook

    I am having trouble transferring epub files from sony reader/pc to playbook and then finding them on the playbook after copying completed?  Please help!

    I just did this the other day for my wife, took some books that she purchased on her Sony Reader and moved them to her new PB. You need to download Calibre ( free) and also download software that will remove the DRM from the books that are on the Sony. I bought it from www.ebook-converter.com , was $29.95 US. I've read that there are also free ones out there but I went with this b/c it was mentioned in several posts. Go to your reader library on line, download the book, use the DRM and Calibre and then you'll have the file to transfer to your PB. You'll also need an e-pub reader, several on the Appworld, I used Book Reader.Of course I bought and paid for the Sony books so I see nothing wrong in just getting them to a devise that I want to read them on. This same process works for library books that you check out that have DRM enbedded. I Hope this helps.
