Saving completed DVD menu to computer

Is there anyway of saving a completed DVD menu to my computer without burning it to disk? Saving it as a quicktime movie?
Kind regards,
Lucien

True. Trick is figuring out which file is the menu. But the menu still won't do anything. And the menu's overlays won't be active, most, if built in DVDSP, will not even be visible.
Anyone know what the OP is trying to do? Save a template, maybe?

  • Is there a software program you recommend for saving a DVD on your computer? I guess a nonApple software program is required to do that.

    I need to submit my personal video on YouTube as part as a college admissions process. Since the DVD has other videos on it, I need to edit (delete) other parts of video so only the video I want is saved. In the selected video, I also want to delete a few second off the beginning and end.

  • I do a movie whith iMovie. I finalize the project and I pass it to iDvd. Then I do a little menu and I burn my DVD. When I play my DVD on a computer or in my TV it ALWAYS begins directly with the movie and not with the menu... PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu. 
    Click to view full size
    If there is an item in there drag it out.

  • DVD menu becomes blurry when viewed on a computer screen, help!?

    When I create a DVD menu in "DVD PRO" it looks great until the DVD is burned and I try to play it on my Mac, then I notice while it is at full monitor screen size the background image becomes very blurry, when I put it at 100% the screen is very tiny, is there a way to make the screen larger or make the background image more clear when it is blown to that screen size? Any info you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm reading your post again . . . more carefully (sorry!). When you see with DVD Player at 100% , do you see your menus fine?
    Playing at 100 your seeing at the original graphic files size: 720x480 (I guess you are working NTSC). Depending on your monitor resolution, you probably are stretching more than twice when looking at full screen.
    Did you tried playing the DVD in a player on TV?
    You can get here some advices about how to het better menu quality but must post some information about how you built them first.

  • Best Export Settings for DVD burning and Computer viewing

    Hello,
    I am trying to export a 1 hour video that I need to be compatible with standard DVD players as well as viewable on any computer.
    Original footage was shot with a Canon 5d Mark ii in 24fps.
    I have done all of my editing in Premiere Pro CS6. From there, I exported a high quality file to bring into Media Encoder (for trials of best output). My master file from Premiere was exported with the Preset MPEG2. The only thing I changed in the preset was VBR from 1 pass to 2 pass.. This gave me a 6.2 GB file.
    I then brought that file into Media Encoder where I have tried the following presets:
    MPEG2-DVD - Match Source Attributes
    MPEG2-DVD - NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
    MPEG2 - HDTV 720p 23.976 High Quality
    MPEG2 - NTSC DV High Quality
    These settings have encountered various issues.. some have significant banding, but most importantly, none of them will play on my DVD player when I burn them to a disc.
    The discs I am using are Sony DVD-RW with a 4.7GB capacity.
    Where am I going wrong here? From what I've read, the format needs to be MPEG2 to be viewed on DVD... Sorry if I sound ignorant! This stuff is tricky..

    First off, don't export your timeline and then take the result to AME to re-encode, this is compressing your video twice and degrading quality (not to mention takes extra time and hard drive space). Always export direct from Premiere to Media Encoder. If you must use an "intermediate" file as part of your workflow, perhaps to archive a completed video that might later be exported to other formats, then use a lossless codec such as UT or Lagarith (free downloads).
    For DVDs, you MUST use "MPEG-2 DVD". Other forms of MPEG-2 are not appropriate, as the official DVD specification requires that the MPEG-2 file has certain attributes. Not recommended to use "Match Source" for ANY export, just choose an appropriate setting as needed.
    This should be correct for your application - MPEG-2 DVD > NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
    If you want to encode a DVD file over 1 hour in length, then you will need to adjust the encoding bitrate so the resulting file will fit the disc. Rule of thumb is 560/minutes = bitrate, but you might round down the result a bit to allow for menu overhead and such, depending.
    Once you export the "MPEG-2 DVD" file, you can NOT simply burn that file to DVD media. That is only creating a DATA disc and it will not be playable in a DVD player (though a computer or PS3/PS4 may work since they can play most media files). To make a DVD that works in all DVD players (and meets the spec), it MUST be "authored" in a program like Adobe Encore. This compiles your content and menus and all that and then writes the result to the disc in certain way so that DVD players can read the disc. If you open any DVD on your computer, you will see a folder called "VIDEO_TS" and inside that there are .vob files and others. That is a proper DVD. And once you have a proper DVD, you can't simply copy the VIDEO_TS to another disc (as DATA), you must tell the burning software to create as a "VIDEO DVD" and not DATA, or it again won't be readable in a DVD player. Very picky spec, sorry.
    When using AME to export MPEG-2 DVD, it will create two files, audio and video (.m2v and .wav), you will then Import both of those into Encore together. Note that you CAN import other formats into Encore, such as .avi but Encore will then transcode that to the correct MPEG-2 format anyway, so best that you take charge and create the right media in the first place in AME before you get to Encore.
    EDIT: In AME, any time that your source is higher resolution than the destination, such as HD to DVD, you can check the "Max Render Quality" button in AME to provide the best downscale quality.
    EDIT 2: I see you're using DVD-RW media. That is fine for experimenting, but for delivery to clients always use good quality DVD-R or DVD+R media. DVD-RW may not have the best compatibility with players and costs more anyways. DVDs are so cheap now that I just proof to DVD-R and toss the bad ones, up to you.

  • I downloaded the Valentines Day DVD menu theme in Adobe Premiere Elements 11, but won't work

    It's downloaded but it won't set everything up like the other DVD menu themes when you click on them. Why is this happening?

    pnasty09
    Thanks for the reply. How many of the other themes have you tried so that you know it is just this one theme that has a problem?
    Assuming that your Premiere Elements 11 is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer, let us try deleting the Premiere Elements 11 settings file which is named Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs.
    With Premiere Elements 11 closed,
    Local Disc C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. In order to see the complete path cited above, be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active.
    Thanks.

  • Adding a link to an excel file in DVD Menu?

    Can you add a link in the DVD menu to open and excel file?

    This will be an option for those who have excel installed.
    I am already including the file on the DVD in a folder called Excel File. However, I would like to make it easy for those who choose to open it. Other wise PC users need to the following:
    1) Go to My Computer
    2) Right click on the DVD
    3) Click "explore" (Not open - which many will do)
    4) Open the Excel File folder
    5) Open the file
    So my reason for doing this it to make 5 steps into 1.

  • HT5517 how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community Jorge.
    Firstly you will need your Mac to support Mirroring...
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
    AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
    Then you will need to use a 3rd party DVD player such as VLC since the Apple DVD Player software doesn't permit AirPlay Mirroring.

  • Opening projects that have a DVD menu.

    I am unable to re-open projects that contain a DVD menu after I have correctly closed the project. Specifically, I have a series of MPEG videos (saved by Premiere Elements). They all open fine and run welel individually and collectively. I then put a DVD menu in with all the Chapter and Scene menu markers and then saved it and closed the project to come back to it at a later time. When I re-open I get the error "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere elements to shut down . . ." and the whole program closes.
    I have tried this twice with different videos and get the same result. I have never before tried to include a DVD menu in a Premiere 9 project. I have Windwos 7, 32 bit, plenty of memory and disc space, I have tried two different disc drives(both NTFS format) and reinstalled Premiere. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do specific things in Premiere. Few general users stop by here, so there will be few, if any, "eyes" on your issue. Maybe our tireless MOD, Steve Grisetti, can move this out to the main forum, where many more users will see your post.
    I do not recall anyone else having issues with Opening any Projects, with DVD/BD Menus and navigation. The addition of those elements should not affect the ability to Open such Projects, but in your case, they do. I cannot imagine what is happening to cause those Projects to fail to Open, but maybe others will have similar experiences, and can offer some help. If the post can be moved to the main forum, it stands a greater chance that those users will see it, and can help.
    Good luck,

  • Make a dvd menu like iDVD used to?

    How can I create a dvd menu like iDVD used to? I need to be able to navigate through a dvd like menu (not necessary burn a dvd, but have it play on my computer) and without iDVD I don't know how. I would rather not have to drop $30, $40, $50 on a new app from a random third party..... help!

    By far, iDVD is your best choice. I have tried many alternatives nothing else comes close. You can purchase iDVD on Amazon as part of iLife 11.
    Be advised, that the newest iMovie cannot set chapter markers!  I would recommend the use of iMovie HD or iMovie 11.  My own preference is iMovie HD.
    You can set chapters with iDVD but it is a little more difficult.

  • Image Stretched in DVD Menu

    Hey!
    I'm having some issues with an image I made for the DVD menu. I created an image in Illustrator (720 x 480), saved it as a JPEG maximum quality and imported it into DVD Studio Pro. The DVD is in SD and is dimensions are (720 x 480). However, when I import the jpeg, the image is vertically stretched.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? The dimensions I created the image in is the same as the dimensions of the DVD. Why would my image be stretched?
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks Drew!
    That Tiff suggestion brought me one step closer. The photo isn't stretched or squished anymore!
    However, I'm still experiencing some issues.
    So the DVD menu's display mode is set for 4:3 and the resolution is 720 x 480
    The actual m2v video track's aspect ratio is also 4:3 and the resolution is 720 x 480
    Once I import the Tiff file, the file's properties that show up in the window say
    Format: Quicktime Picture
    Width: 720
    Height: 480
    Layers: 0
    I'm not sure what Quicktime Picture means but I'm sure it's irrelevant. What I'm getting to is, the size of the tiff is 720 x 480. However, when I put it into the dvd menu, the image is not squished or stretched but it doesn't fill up the whole screen. There's about (estimating) roughly 25 pixels of whitespace above and 25 px below the image. The image is centred on the DVD menu, but it doesnt fill up the whole screen.
    When I simulate the DVD and hit the play button, once the video plays, it fills up the whole screen.
    I don't understand why the Tiff doesn't fill up the whole DVD menu screen even though it is 720x480 and the DVD menu's properties are 4:3 and 720x480.
    Do you have any other suggestions of what I can do?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Downloadable file on DVD menu?

    My client would like to include his powerpoint presentation to be downloadable from the DVD menu of his video. Can this be done...or can I only put a link to a website that recipients can click on if viewing the DVD from their computer..where, in turn, the file coule be downloaded from.

    It's possible, but to do so you need to use DVD@ccess or eDVD or Intellidisc.
    With @ccess you simply use a button to go to a new menu and embed the url for the file into that menu. As your viewer arrives at the menu then the link is activated and if there is a viewer for the file it will launch over the top of your DVD player app and play back the show.
    However, it is notoriously flaky on PCs - it may not even work at all... on Macs it is more reliable, but folks still find issues with it.
    It's probably better to stick to using some text on a menu to let people know that the file is there for them to access manually.

  • Dvd Menu Adobe Premiere Elements 10 for Mac with bad resolution

    Hi, I use a MacBookPro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 - Intel Core i5 2,4 GH - RAM 4 GB.
    I just purchased PRE 10 version hoping to solve a problem I had with version 9 for Mac but not with a version 7 for Win.
    I
    My problem is that when I burn the dvd with the final work in PAL system, the menu of the DVD has the text very blurred at a very bad resolution.
    I searched this forum and I didn't found a similar problem for Mac user.
    I had the same problem with PRE 9.
    Same problem if I insert a logo in the corner of the video. Very bad resolution image in the final dvd.
    I tried to change the beginning resolution of the image from very low to very high and the result was the same.
    Someone has similar problems? Someone did find a way to solve it?

    Dear Bill, many thanks for your answer.
    This is the Project Preset chosen.
    As the source is a JVC Everio with hard disk, I chose PAL - Hard Disk - Widescreen 48 KHz
    The source is as I said a JVC Everio in SD size. I saved the files in a backup Hard Disk. They are .mod files.
    I don't know how to see if a Menu Sets is HD or SD. I tried almost all the available Menu Sets always with the same blurry results.
    These images explain better than words.
    Note that the firt image in the DVD Menu is perfect, not blurry. And this add a little bit of mystery :-)
    this is the scene selection that has text blurry
    And this is the logo I put in the right bottom side of the video. It is blurry. I put a high resolution image and it was blurry. Then I tried with an image .png with the same width of the video (720 pixels) and this is the same blurry effect:
    The solution I use in these days to have goog results is very time expensive.
    I make the editing work in my mac, without logo and menu. I make a dvd. Then I import the VIDEO_TS folder in my old pc, with my old version of Adobe Premiere 7.0. I insert the logo, I make the menu and then I make a dvd with my old PC and the resolution is the one I want.
    Obviolusly I'd like to do all the work in my Mac...
    The same problems and solution I used also with PRE 9.0
    By the way, I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements in my Mac instead  iMovie because I need to do videos longer than 2 hours. And iMovie has this limit.
    Many thanks in advance for help. There is someone that is using Mac and PRE 10 with GOOD results?

  • CS4 Dvd Menu Problem

    Hi im not that great ant my cs4 master lol but i made a dvd menu and its saved as psd i imported as menu in encore but i cant select the buttons (+) play
    (+) chapter "examples"   Whats wrong?

    (+) play
    (+) chapter "examples"
    If that is just buttons, it will never work. The (+) is reserved for a button group, whereas the states of the buttons themsleves must be designated with (=1)(=2) and so on on the layers inside the button group.. As Silkrooster said, check the Encore forums and also re-read the help files.
