Re: Help in playing mpeg2 video & VCD & DVD

MPEG2 is not supported. MPEG4,I guess you mean DivX;), is able to be played if you download a codec by IBM.
If you find a MPEG2 Codec please let me know
US101

Like I said, DVD (MPEG2) is not supported. As for VCD(MPEG1 I think) that is not supported in JMF unless you use one of the performance packs and not the all java version.

New to Quicktime-Please Help-Not Playing Streaming Video

_PLEASE HELP, I AM NEW TO THIS._ I can't see that Quicktime is playing streaming videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime including Perian and every other plug-in I can find. In System Preferences I have tried Automatic and Custom (Port 80) for the Transport Protocol. I have everything checked in the MIME settings. In Safari Preferences I have all the plug-ins enabled. The streaming videos play in Safari, but if I try to open ANY URL in Quicktime, it says URL INVALID. THANK YOU.

I dont believe you can put a youtube link in quicktime itself. An easy way to download them however is to add &fmt=18 for HQ videos or &fmt=22 for HD videos to the end of the youtube url ex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRSbC6HAgNE&fmt=18 Then load that page and then in safari click window then activity. Find the one with the largest size (should be the only one in MB) and double click on it. THen it will download to where you set safari to download your files.

How to get Flash exe to play before video on DVD-Rom

I have created a DVD, in Encore, with links to PDFs. Of course, when they click on the link to the PDF, it tells them to play the disc in their DVD-ROM player. For the computer side of the disc, I have created a Flash file that looks exactly like the DVD menus, except it will open the PDFs. When I put the DVD into a computer, it always opens the DVD video first. I would like it to open the Flash exe, first. Opening the DVD video will probably confuse the user since it will tell them to play the DVD in a computer DVD-ROM player, which they already are playing it from the PC. I have an Autostart file. Is there something else that I need to do, to get the Flash to play first, or is this a setting on the computer? Thanks for any help you provide.

Use autorun.inf file burn it with your cd/dvd
File contents
[autorun]
open=flashfile.exe

Help with Multiple Source Video on DVD

I am new to Premiere 9 trying to make a DVD of a birthday party with video from my Canon Vixia HF200 and a slideshow I exported from iPhoto to a m4v file. It was my understanding from reading earlier posts I should export the instant movie I made by going to Share and export "for viewing on computer or make DVD" and then doing the same for the slideshow. But instead of an avi file, it makes a flv file and I am unable to open it or import it back to Premiere 9 to create a DVD. I am really confused as to how to go about putting these two files together to make a DVD. (I can't just put them together on the same project?) I have a iMac computer and am used to making movies on iMovie where you can just add clips from various sources and then export to iDVD. I am finding it difficult to get the help I need from the Help menu on the program. I know I must be doing something wrong. Please help if you can.

Now we know why we've been confused! At the beginning of this discussion, you were talking about creating a DVD. Now you're talking about creating a BluRay disc, which is a very different project.
To output a hi-def file from Premiere Elements, go to Share/Computer/MPEG and use the 1440x1080i output preset.
Should load right into a Toast BluRay project!
I don't know if Toast has a WebDVD project, but you can output a WebDVD project from Premiere Elements. Just set up a menu system as you would if you were creating a DVD or BluRay in Premiere Elements. Then go to Share/WebDVD to output your files.
A webDVD is a combination of FLV video and html files that can be posted to a site (including Photoshop.com) and then navigated just like a DVD -- except that it's online.
Glad to hear you're ordering the book too! Thanks for supporting our Muvipix.com mission!

HELP - Problem Playing Music Videos on 5G iPod

I've downloaded 3 music videos to my 60 Video iPod. I've watched all of them recently but today i've got no sound or no picture but the video playlist is still there and the iPod starts to play them but i just get a black screen with the white play arrow and i can alter the volume.
Any ideas or help please???
Many thanks

If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.

No sound in MPEG2 video after upgrading to QT 7.6.6

I still have a problem with QT playing the sound of MPEG2 videos after upgrading to QT 7.6. I had this problem one year ago and solved it by downgrading to QT 7.5. Now I did the automatic update suggested by the system which insrtalled QT 7.6.6
Unfortunately again no sound when playing MPEG2 videos (I have the MPEG2 QT component installed). When converting the video to MPEG1 or MP4 there are no problems at all. So it seems to be a problem of the MPEG2 component together with QT 7.6
Any idea how I could solve this? Is the a MPEG2 component update which works with QT 7.6?
Thanks for your help
Wolfgang

I downloaded the new MPEG2 component (unfortunately I had to pay the 20 EUR as my previous download has been in something liek 2008 and is no longer registered in the Apple Store
Strange! I made my original pre-QT v6.4 MPEG-2 component purchase in September of 2002 and it was automatically updated to the version for QT 6.4 thru QT v7.5 which was then automatically updated for QT v7.6 and later. It would seem the European stores may operate differently than the US store. You may wish to hang onto you purchase information in case this ever happens again in order to discuss the matter with Customer Service or at least learn the specific terms/limitations of your purchase agreement and/or account.
I hope this solves the problem but it seems most likely that the incompatibility of the old MPEG2 component and QT 7.6.x is the reason for my problem. You may be right
I opened up the installer package after reading your latest post and noticed a statement that QT 7.6 is "required" for this update. So it looks like there were some compatibility issues with the change to QT v7.6 software.
In any case, wish you the best of luck...

Play MPEG2 Movie without sound

Hi,
at the moment i try to play a mpeg2 movie with the java media framework.
I got the code up and running as long as i've installed windows performance pack. If i don't install it, i get a exception which means that the mpeglayer3 isn't supported. As far as i found out it is only the sound-codec in the file and i don't need to playback it.
Is there a possibility to remove the sound and play the movie without installed performance-pack? or is the movie codec the next problem where i need to stop if i solve the mpeglayer3 problem?
Thanks,
Stefan

JMF doesn't play MPEG2 movies, first.
But if you wanted to include JMF on a CD, you'd just need to include all of the JAR files that come with it, and include the .dll files for the Windows version and the (presumably) .a/.so objects that come with the Linux version. Then, you'll want to kick off your CD application with a script that'll detect the OS type and add the appropriate libraries to the runtime library path of whatever OS you're on, and include the path to the JAR in the library path for Java. Do all of that (correctly), and you should be able to run a JMF application from a CD/DVD without having JMF installed.
But you still won't be able to play MPEG2 videos. :-/

My dvds that are made from iDVD will not play in a standard dvd player. Can anyone help me?*

I am running iDVD v 7.1.2(1158). I used to be able to make dvds that would play in a standard dvd player. As of today I cannot. I do not know what has changed and I do not know what needs to be updated. Can someone assist me?
The dvds that I can make will play from a disk image and they can play perfectly fine in a computer but not in a standard dvd player. I am using an external dvd burner, (The same one have always used) to create the dvds. I am using iDVD to author them.
Here is a list of my hardware.

Can anyone help me? The dvds are not even detected

• Material used: Video-Codec and Photo file format and Audio file format - matters too. I use
- Video - StreamingDV .dv or AIC
- Photos as .jpg (only)
- Audio as .aiff 16bit 44.1kHz or 48kHz (ONLY - never .mp3 or directly from iTunes - all converted to .aiff first)
With this I do not mean any setting in iDVD - BUT the raw material used in iMovie / FinalCut / Avid 100 / Adobe Premiere
As this usually matters - later in iDVD
How did You Export from Video-editing program used ? I prefer
• iMovie HD6 - just drop the movie project icon (NOT iMovie Icon - the PROJECT one) over into iDVD big menu window (avoiding - drop-zones as they are for other tasks)
• iMovie'08 to '11 - Share to MEDIA BROWSER - AND AS MEDIUM - not HD or other resolution as iDVD does a bad downscaling job.
• iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) - Share as 480p - Import this into iDVD
• FinalCut (Pro or Express) - Export as QuickTime .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMPORTANT
• Adobe Premiere - I don't know - not tested Yet
• Avid 100 - I don't know - not tested Yet
Cleaning the DVD-burner - If it Burns DVDs OK then that's may be not the problem - But if it only burns CDs OK then either the DVD-burning-laser is dirty or broken.
It is very easy to kill this DVD-laser as it over-heats if one burns several DVDs in a row. I only burn three at a time - then let it cool down for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs.

Playing iTunes videos to a personal DVD player

I'd like to play iTunes videos on my DVD player. I copied them on to a USB, then tried to play them on the DVD player. But they show up as "MPEG4" files and a red circle with a line through it appears. Guess that means it's a No Go. Any suggestions? Advice? Help? Thanks.

Well, I wondered...I tried playing the videos off the USB while it was plugged into my computer, and the video file in iTunes opened. Does that make sense to you? Yes, they do play on my iPod, but I hear you telling me I am NOT going to be able to play them on the DVD player. I also tried burning them onto a DVD disc, but that didn't work either.

HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
Thanks for your help.

For Blu-Ray creation:
I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

Playing a video disc (vcd)

Hello -
In the past I opened video - vcd - discs by navigating in the following way:
Insert a VCD in the optical drive of your computer.
Open QuickTime Player, located in the Applications folder.
Choose File > "Open Movie in New Player."
Navigate to the VCD.
Open the MPEGAV folder.
Open the file that ends with ".DAT."
When the movie opens in a new QuickTime Player window, click the Play button to play the movie
However, now that Quicktime has been upgraded when I go into the File menu of Quicktime, I do not get the "Open Movie in New Player" option. Can anyone help me to open VCDs please.
Thank you!

Hello,
The VLC (VideoLAN Client, a media player) website says it will play VCDs. Here's the link: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html.

My DVD player is supposed to play avi videos, but it often doesn't telling me that the file format is not recognized. I suspect it's because it's the wrong codec. How can I tell what the codec is before I burn a DVD? And how do I get a workable codec? Thanks for uour help!

I am not a computer savy person. I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately. After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1). I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project. Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature. Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:
