Random Single Frame Jump On Burned DVD From Encore??

Problem with a single frame, split second jump on some DVDs output from Encore. The jump is a single frame from a previous part of the timeline. It is hardly noticeable, but annoying. Plus, it doesn't happen with every disc because I retranscoded the same footage using both automatic and manually chosen presets. Sometimes I get a perfectly fine disc. It seems like this problem is random, hit or miss with the transcoding. Has anyone had this? Suggestions? Thanks.

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggsts

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

How do I select photos, projects to burn for a dvd?

Frank's answer tells you hao to export your slideshow movie on a data DVD. But if you want to burn a video DVD that you can play in a DVD player you will need additional software, see Karsten Schlüter's User Tip:

M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

Hi,
My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
Just to note,
The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
(1) The hard drive failed.
(2) The multidrive failed.
(3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
Best regards

Burned DVD from iphoto but pics are black

I burned a DVD from iphoto that contained a large file of pictures. Upon opening the disk I could see the pictures. However, after scrolling through a few of them, my iphoto became extremely slow and then the pictures would not come back. Instead of seeing a picture I see a black box with a dotted frame where the picture should be.
The DVD worked when I opened APSE and I edited my pictures that way.
But why is my iphoto not cooperating with a disc that was created with iphoto?
Is it because I created the disc using an older version of iphoto?

Has something to do with me renaming the rolls of film.

Premiere Elements 8: Scene Markers Not Frame Accurate on Burned DVDs

I have Premiere Elements 8, and I have just begun to burn DVDs of projects. I have discovered that the Scene Markers I have carefully placed at precise points in my footage (such as the very first frame of a scene) are not placed at those specific points in a burned DVD of the footage. They are out by several frames either early or late, the deviation being fairly inconsistent.
I placed 8 Scene Markers in the timeline of the project I have just completed, and were transferred to DVD with these Scene Markers at the following points on the resulting disc:
Scene Marker 1 was 7 frames early
Scene Marker 2 was 3 frames late
Scene Marker 3 was 2 frames late
Scene Marker 4 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 5 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 6 was 5 frames late
Scene Marker 7 was 7 frames late
Scene Marker 8 was 2 frames early
I was not expecting any deviation at all. There is no frame deviation when editing footage and transferring to DVD, it is absolutley frame-accurate, so why is there any deviation on the resulting DVD when it comes to the placement of Scene Markers?

If I am using GOP material, knowing that that material's I-Frames might not be 100% accurate with my desires, is to always have a Dip-to-Black Transition to about 02 sec. of Black Video, between all of my Clips. Then, I can locate my Chapter Markers on that Black Video. This also gets me that Dip-to-Black (and back from black), between Chapters. I like the aesthetics of those, and the solve any GOP issue.
Those Dip-to-Black also cover any "black flashes," that one often sees, when the DVD player's head seeks the next Chapter. The black flash will come when the screen is already black, so no one will ever see them.
I use a Dip-to-Black in editing, to show the passage of time, and perhaps the change in location (or both), and as Chapters usually feature one of those, the Dip-to-Black is ideal. Within a Chapter, if I use a Dip-to-Black (passage of time, or change in location), and the passage of time is quite long, then I will increase the Duration of the Black Video between the Clips even more. Just one way that I employ Transitions, and especially Dip-to-Black.
Good luck,

Jitter problem after burning DVD from avi or mpeg2 that was exported from original timeline edit

When burning a DVD directly from the timeline in Elements 7, there is usually no problem, however, when first exporting it to an .avi or .mpeg2 file, and then putting that new file back into the timeline, and then burning that new file to a DVD, there is jitter or "strobing" when the subject in the video moves (when playing the DVD).
It's not an install, or re-install issue, because before I started with this new computer, the exact same thing happened with the last computer I was using.
Thanks.

Les,
I do not know the newer Pinnacle Studio products, but going back to 8 and 9, through 9.4.3, the workflow was based on DV-AVI, just like PrE is. Pinnacle might have changed over to MPEG-2 in later versions, but I just do not know, as I have not seen a version, since Studio 10 hit was such a disaster.
One of the problems when working from DVD-Video material is that it has already been compressed to MPEG-2, loosing a good bit of data, and also converting the material to GOP (Group of Pictures), so that individual Frames are not present any longer. This precludes Frame-accurate editing, unless that compressed material is converted to all I-frame. See this ARTICLE for some background on GOP. Then, upon Burn to Disk, that I-frame material is once more compressed (again) to MPEG-2 and GOP for use in a VOB container. This WILL cause degradation of the image, most noticeable where there is motion, either subject, or camera motion. Some NLE's offer what is referred to as "Smart Rendering." This can help in some areas. For portions of the footage, where no changes have been made, beyond just cuts, the material will NOT be Transcoded again to MPEG-2, but will be used, as-is. Note: add a Transition, or a Title, or a PiP, or any Effect, and that footage WILL be Transcoded, so the Smart Rendering aspect will be moot. Sony's Vegas has been recommended for Smart Rendering, but I have never used it. This might be worth investigating. Also, if Pinnacle Studio is working fine, you might want to consider using that program. I have 5 different NLE's on my workstation, and use each for specialized situations, though the vast majority of my editing is done in PrPro.
Regarding the existing DVD-Videos, much depends of the source. PrE can Import and work with 100% DVD-compliant (very important) VOB's. Unfortunately, most DVR's do not create 100% DVD-compliant discs. This is most often manifested in the first VOB, which will contain any Menus and navigation. This ARTICLE will give you some background on VOB's, which are Video Object "containers."
As you point out, there can be issues with the resulting MPEG-2, as it will span part of VOB 1, and then all remaining VOB's. With 100% DVD-compliant VOB's, there will be a perfect flow in the MPEG-2 that spans the multiple VOB's. When the VOB's are not 100% DVD-compliant, issues can arise.
Considering your DVR, it is likely that ripping is going to be the best workflow, as that will strip out the other material in the first VOB and should then gather the data for the spanned MPEG-2. The ultimate rip will be to a DV-AVI Type II file w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. This is an older FAQ Entry from the Encore Forum, on ripping, but might have some useful tips. Note: this was for getting material from a DVD-Video for authoring to a new DVD in Encore, and not editing.
For non-commercial DVD-Video editing, I will use an A-D bridge and my DVD deck, and capture to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio, and Import the resulting files into PrPro/PrE. This is exactly the same workflow that I use, with analog material, like VHS.
Also note that PrPro, a US$900 program did not get VOB Importing until CS4.2 (current version), while PrE has had it for some time now. Also, PrPro is a DV-AVI-based, I-frame, program, just like PrE, so no "Smart Rendering" there either. Same exact issues exist in "big-brother," PrPro.
Most of all, good luck,
Hunt

Extra frames appear in burned DVD

Can anyone tell me why my burned DVD, (that runs smoothly in FinalCutExpress, and in Preview mode in iDVD) has very quick EXTRA frames?? It is highly annoying, and very frustrating!!! The frames are definately NOT there in the FinalCut timeline, or iDVD preview, so where are they coming from?
Thanks!!!

You're right. It's not very well explained by the Help Menu IMO. Could use some refining. But I didn't write this thing so I can't really explain in detail. But I can show you an image of what I am referring to:
click here
Doesn't sound like your own iDvd project has a movie or slideshow in the first box. But if there were, you simply select it (one click) and hit the delete key.
Suggestion-Go ahead and add it anyway to the first box there and then delete it like I said above. Sometimes iDvd needs a bit of a jolt to get working properly. That or dispose of the plist for iDvd from your Home folder (the one that looks like a house) > Libaray > Preferences > com.apple.iDvd.plist
Make sure to quit iDvd before disposing of this preference file by a simple drag and drop to the trash followed by a complete restart of your mac. Won't harm your mac nor your existing project. But you may need to address iDvd's preferences again / things like the apple logo on the menu (if you want it there or not). I always keep it deselected. Your choice.
Hope this helps.

Single Frame jumping towards end of output .mov

I have two sequences output from motion. One 10 seconds and the other 17. At the end of each clip there is a single frame that "jumps" up about 1/8 of the screen.
Any ideas as to why?

Are these the same clips you're writing about in Color? If so, it's most likely a media issue since it is unlikely that rendered or exported footage will exhibit a physical artifact from multiple applications unless the media itself is at fault. Is it the last frame or just a frame toward the end? What have you tried to isolate the issue? If you make the sequence longer does thhe jump still occur at the last frame?
There are only three possible answers: the media is damaged, you've somehow programmed a move, or an inexplicable glitch. The last is highly unlikely and it will move each time you render. If the jumps happen at exactly the same frame each time, it's most likely the source media.
Would also help tremendously to know what codec you're using and what your source codec is.

Burning DVD from disc image

I've been burning DVD's from disc images using Encore 1.0 for some time now. ever since I upgraded to 2.0, Encore gives me error messages on my project like:
"first play not set" and
"remote control problem".
I don't see how these messages can appear when I'm using a disc image (i.e. a completed project) as the source. does anyone know?

When you click on the Build DVD button in the Disc panel, Encore does a quick check of errors
in the current project. If you have a new, empty project, you will at least get errors about First Play and Title Remote. Those errors have nothing to do with your disc image, they apply to the current project, from which you are trying to burn your disc image.
These errors may be safely ignored, since they don't have any effect on your disc image.

Burn DVD from Youtube

How can I burn a DVD from Youtube?

You can watch Youtube videos on your TV many ways. Many newer Smart TV's have a Youtube channel, if yours does not have that ability you can also get an AppleTV ($75 refurbished from Apple's online store) and view Youtube and much much more including your own video library, photo library, etc and other channels. If that is of any interest to you, click http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD199LL/A/refurbished-apple-tv for information.

Burn DVD from video

Somewhat a rookie so go easy on me. I produce a 30 minute TV show in Final Cut Express. I print to video for my media that I give the TV station. I'm often asked to present one of my episodes to a club, etc. A DVD is most convenient for this. I've never had luck printing a good DVD from FCE...I'm sure it's my technique. So, I got the smart idea of using my edited and finished video that I would send to the TV station and use iDVD OneStep (iLife 09) to produce a DVD. Everything seemed to go fine until I put my new DVD in a DVD player...no sound. The image quality is very good and very happy with that...but no sound. What have I done wrong or is iDVD simply not made for this purpose?

Hi
There is a lot to this. Some basic.
DVD - is a standard in it self - CAN only do SD-Video (as old CRT-TVs at it's best)
Neither iDVD, Roxio Toast™ or DVD-Studio Pro - can do anything better.
(Roxio Toast 10 (11) Pro incl BD-component - Can burn to Blu-Ray and even small movies
as this on Standard DVDs - BUT they NEED a Blu-Ray Player to be viewed)
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (vers 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality *(movies + menus up to 120 min.)* - BEST
• Best Performances *(movies + menus less than 60 min.)* - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) *(movies + menus up to 120 min.)* - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2.Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov *(not selfcontaining, no conversion)*
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x4 (x1) (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a shortlived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
*Blu-Ray / BD* can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to plyback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be playbacked IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera recorde in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU
*unclemano wrote*
What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround eg EnergySaver
• Don’t let HD spinn down or be turned off (in EnergySave)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screensaver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
Yours Bengt W
