Rendering while converting from DVD using MPEG Streamclip or Cinematize

Is there anyway to make rendered .mov file, while converting from DVD to .mov, using MPEG Streamclip or Cinematize for final cut pro?
Thanks.

Are you asking if there's a way to export from mpegstreamclip so you don't need to render when you edit with the file in fcp?  If so, yes...  (sorry couldn't resist).
What format is your sequence in fcp (make the timeline active and hit command(apple)-zero?   Note the pixel dimensions, frame rate and compressor settings and set the quicktime options in mpegstreamclip export dialog to match them.  You should be good to go.
Also, you might do some searching here.  Pretty sure someone posted a link to a tutorial on how to do this,

  • Converting to MP4 using MPEG Streamclip

    Hi,
    I did post this in another topic, then realised I probaby should start a new one.
    I am new so please be nice - and I'm not superwhiz with these things...
    I am in the process of using the recommended MPEG Streamclip 1.2 (for Windows) to convert my .VOB file to MP4 so that I can play it on my ipod. The file is approx 500MB, and I think I may have selected wrong options as it has taken over 12 hours to convert 65% of the file... and it's still going (obviously :-))
    I can't do a screen print of the settings I've used because it's still going... but the link should show you them basically, the differences are as follows:
    Button says iTunes not iPod
    Limit Data Rate 1.5 mbps
    Framesize Other 640 * 480
    Interlaced Scaling not checked
    http://forum.videohelp.com/topic320388.html
    So my questions are:
    1. Is it normal for conversion to take this long?
    2. Are the settings I chose correct?
    Thanks in advance!
    *Please note I asked here not on the MPEG Streamclip forums just because you guys recommended it so you obviously have some experience using it.*

    There are presets for the iPod and Apple TV-they are located under file->export to mpeg-4. Once the window pops up hit the iTunes button. You get a popup window with a long list of options.
    The quickest setting would be 3gp-172 by something(the very last one).
    It is designed to stream to the iPhone over the 3g network.
    PS.
    You can lower the bitrate to speed things up slightly, but using a p4 like yours will take for ever.

  • Whats the best settings to rip DVD to Mpeg Streamclip for use in FCE??

    Hi there.
    Ok, I using MPEG Streamclip to rip a DVD for editing on FCE.
    Whats the best settings to get it to my hard drive?
    MPEG4?? Compression rate??
    Chris

    Assuming your DVD plays widescreen, the better settings in MPEG Streamclip would be:
    Export to QuickTime
    Compression = Apple Intermediate Codec
    Frame size = 1920x1080
    Pretty much everything else should remain at default settings.
    Keep in mind that if you have an NTSC DVD, the resulting QT/AIC video will be 60i.
    In FCE, select the AVCHD 1920x1080i60 easy setup, create a new sequence, import the converted file and edit away. The quality should be very nice.

  • Error converting .mov to .avi using MPEG Streamclip

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to convert an .mov to an .avi for a client using MPEG Streamclip.  I have exported a high res master copy of the video from Final Cut (it's a .mov format is Pro Res 422 1920x1080 50i). 
    So when I bring this file into MPEG Streamclip, I select File > Export to Avi.... and then the following settings:
    DivX Codec
    Quality 75%
    The compression starts and I instantly get the error "Compression Error"
    When this started I installed the lastest version of DivX however since I am new to exporting as .avi I am completely lost.  I was able to get MPEG Streamclip to export using Apple Cinepak however the quality is awful so I am looking for another solution. I have also tried converting from my highest resolution MPEG-4 export, however I get the same result.
    I am thinking that maybe my DivX codec isn't installed, or there is some problem with it? However I thought a new installation of DivX would fix this.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    I would suggest exporting three small test files using H264 codec at three different rezolutions.
    Play them back and if satisfied send them to your client to evaluate so they can decide what will work for them.
    1280x720 H264  files are what we give to our clients these days as  "high quality' video.
    Smaller files might be recommended for faster download and smoother playback on their system.

  • Using MPEG Streamclip to convert files for EX-1 sequence

    I am trying to use MPEG Streamclip to convert mp4 and mpeg files in order to edit them in the same sequence as my EX-1 footage. What settings should I use on MPEG Streamclip that would be most appropriate for seamlessly editing the former MPEG and mp4 files with the EX-1 footage? Any thoughts on what sequence settings I should use? Right now I have it set as "XDCam Ex 1080p24 VBR" but every time I bring in files I have tried to convert using MPEG Streamclip, they need to render and I'm trying to avoid that. Thanks!

    Thanks for the help

  • Hi there. I shot with a nikon d7000. The clips look great on the viewer but quite bad on canvas (also after its been exported) I converted my clips to apple pro res 422 using mpeg streamclip. The size I used was 1920 x 1080. How can I fix these?

    This is the clip:
    This is the sequence:
    I know they both should match. Question is, should I re convert the clips in mpeg using different size settings? Or should I change the sequence settings? how?
    Thanks A LOT.

  • Video and audio files from dvd using FCP

    Hi
    Trying to get footage from a dvd using fcp. I can import the clips ok using file >import but they have no audio with them and the audio folder on the dvd is blank...any ideas????????
    cheers

    The audio_TS folder is normally blank.
    You need to use MPEG Streamclip to get the DVD files to Quicktime.

  • Process for exporting in FCPX and then using MPEG Streamclip to downgrade?

    I have footage shot with a 5Diii, and it is set at 1920x1080, 23.98p.
    When I export through FCPX at H.264, it gives me a beautiful master file, but is larger than the 4GB that I need.
    What is the process for using MPEG Streamclip to get a smaller file?
    Do I export a master file in FCPX first using a different codec, and then use MPEG Streamclip to compress it? If so, what would be the best setting to export from FCPX, and then what would be the best setting to compress at in MPEG streamclip?
    My goal is to be as close to 1080HD as possible.

    Here is the background story....... I provide movie files on a DVD delivery (files in SD quality) and then also give a copy of the same films on a flash drive so clients can have it in HD quality, and plug the flash drive directly into the TV.
    This always worked fine in the past until I ran into a movie file that is 4.7GB, and would not copy onto the flash drive, since flash drives only accept files up to 4GB.
    So I tried reformating the flashdrive to exFAT. It allowed me to copy the 4.7GB on the flashdrive, but when I tried plugging it in directly to the TV, the TV did not recognize the drive. (I learned that exFAT is not always compatable with all TVs.)
    My other option would be to download an app to let me reformat the drive into NTFS which accepts files bigger than 4GB, and supposedly works better with TVs. I haven't tried this yet because I am worried that downloading that app might mess up my computer. ???????
    So....I have come to the conclusion that the only other thing I can do is compress the 4.7GB file to be 4GB (or less) so it will fit on the flash drive which I believe had an original format was MS-DOS FAT.
    Are you suggesting instead of exporting the file from FCPX in H264, I should do it in ProRes? The file will be much larger than 4GB, but, then I can compress it, without losing as much of the quality as I would if I compressed an H264 file? Either way it needs to be 4GB or less, so I don't know if that defeats the purpose of using a ProRes file to begin with.
    Thank you so much for helping with this!

  • Unwatchtable results when converting to H.264 (MPEG Streamclip 1.8)

    I converted several movies to H.264 a year ago using an older version of MPEG Streamclip, using the exact same settings (H.264, 720x576, 25 fps, 2400 kbps). These movies play fine on the atv. Movies that I recently converted, using MPEG Streamclip 1.8 and newer versions of QT (whatever the current version is) no longer play correctly on the atv. These newer conversions flicker green and really have no dicernable picture. The atv attempts to play the content (no error message), but the displayed picture is just a torn up mess. These newer conversions play fine on the Mac
    (in iTunes or QT Player). Does anyone know what's wrong or how to work around this problem?
    Thanks.

    Codec: H.264
    Size: 720x576
    Bitrate: 300 KBps
    Quality: 100%
    I stored this settings about 2 years ago as a preset.These settings do lot look right. If saved 2 years ago with a data rate of 300 Kbps, this should have been an iPod preset (likely for a 320 x 240) or possibly quarter PAL display dimensions "Baseline" profile. (I.e., roughly half the recommended iPod setting but a setting likely good for web use.) Baseline, files, despited their low data rate, would have been iPod compatible then and TV compatible now.
    As I said before, the resulting movies all work fine on the atv except the very latest.Actually, in your original post, the settings you gave look more like they are for a PAL "Main" profile if you are using 720 x 576 dimensions and a data rate of 2400 Kbps. The problem is if your are using the "Baseline Low Complexity" profile, then this file will likely be trapped by iTunes as not be within acceptable "LC" profile specifications and I would assume not sync with either iPod or TV devices. On the other hand, if you are using the "Main" profile, then the file should be TV compatible but not iPod compatible.
    I believe, unlike Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip uses Apple's H.264 Codec.The MPEG Streamclip default is H.264, but MPEG-4 is also available if you select it. However, even the MPEG-4 codec was originally limited to 900 macro-16 blocks back then -- usually assigned as a 480 x 480 display encode matrix. This was increased to 1200 macro-16 blocks when the "Low Complexity" H.264 format was introduced for MPEG-4 640 x 480 compatibility. However, even now, according to Apple, the MPEG-4 "Simple" profile is limited to 1215 macro-16 blocks or a 720 x 432 display encode matrix -- not 720 x 576.
    I'm going to attempt to compress something with the Quicktime Pro tool as a comparision.Suggest you run your tests using H.264 "Main" profile at originally posted settings, switch to "LC" compatible H.264 dimensions/data rates, or use MPEG-4 at stated data rate but using compatible dimensions (e.g., 16:9 aspect ratio 720 x 400 display which is equivalent to a compatible 1125 macro-16 blocks).

  • Using MPEG streamclip to convert VIDEO_TS files (DVDs) with chapters

    I am using MPEG Steamclip to convert DVDs (ie VIDEO_TS files).
    Where the DVD has no chapters then it converts in one go into a new file.
    However where the DVD has some chapters, it gives me an option to convert each chapter individually. I actually just want to convert the whole DVD in one go, with all the chapters merged together - is there any way to do this?
    Thank you

    Thanks for the help

  • Help, I brought  a PAL DVD into FCP using MPEG Streamclip.

    MPEG streamclip converted the file into a Quicktime file and the footage looked great in FCP. I then brought in other minidv footage via firewire. I exported everything as one clip whith chapter markers using Compressor and now when I bring all of the footage into DVD studio Pro 4 the PAL footage looks like a rake is dragged accross it but the minidvd footage looks great.
    Any ideas?

  • How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

    Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
    After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.
