Settings for Exporting DVD Video to Web Pages

I have some short family dvd's that I want to export to some web pages.
What's the best method to :
1 extract the dvd content
2 create media for web viewing
BTW: I think I'd rather use MP4 with h.264 (rather than .flv) for this set of media
Q :
1 - what are the best apps for extracting from dvd and then encoding the MP4
(handbrake - quicktime - squeeze etc?) mac is preferred - or pc is ok too
2 - for the 'average' dsl/cable connection what are the best (safest) video frame sizes and bitrate settings ... I was thinking something like:
480x320 and bitrate xxxx?
or can I go as big as
640x480 and bitrate xxxx?
Thanks in advance for the help....

Do a Google search for DVD Ripper.

  • Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
    I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
    Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
    I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
    So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
    Thanks!

    First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
    Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
    Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

  • Best settings for exporting crisp video/graphic from iMovie to YouTube?

    Hi, I am working on a video for a client and after viewing on YouTube they had some issues with the type not looking "crisp," and I'm not sure how to fix it, not sure if it's a YouTube thing or something I am doing wrong.
    I am working in iMovie 6/HD on OS 10.4.11. I do my "type slides" in Photoshop and import them into the iMovie as photos (JPGs). I know some text/titles can be done in iMovie but there is very little control I have over what goes where, so by making my type slides in Photoshop I have more creative control to do what I want. I have done tests and it doesn't seem to matter what resolution the Photoshop files are when they're imported, the results are always the same.
    If anyone has a better suggestion for doing the type slides I'd gladly welcome them, but I think what I really need to know is the following:
    What are the best expert settings to export my iMovie file as, so that when I upload to YouTube, the quality stays fairly crisp? Or does YouTube's compression just negate anything I can do on my end?
    I have googled and found settings recs on other sites and other boards and tried a bunch of them and my results aren't any better than my original effort.
    From another post on this board I discovered I could play with the Filters setting when exporting, and I have set that to Sharpen and also used the Brightness filter to lighten the video (it was a little dark). I uploaded to YouTube and I think it is a little better, but would still love the info if anyone has a guaranteed rec for correct settings for YouTube video from iMovie HD/6.

    Hello Brian,
    Have you tried de-interlacing before exporting?
    Sometimes, when I'm in a rush, I would expand the Canvas/Viewer (viewed at 100%), pick the clearest frame, and do a screen capture.
    For example, with the captured image (in Photoshop), I have a marquee preset at 640x480 (NTSC). I created an action to crop, resize to 720x480, then set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to NTSC.

  • What are the settings for exporting a video to a DVD?

    can someone please help

    I assume you understand that the file exported from Premiere must be authored onto a DVD. Just pick the MPEG2-DVD format and pick a preset that fits your material. And H.264 Bluray or MPEG2-Bluray for Bluray.
    If you don't understand authoring, you need a program like Encore:
    This is the link for info re using Encore CS6 with CC, updated for CC 2014 and the cloud desktop install.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html
    It has links for getting the library (which is not installed with Encore) and a workflow with CC versions.
    In the cloud desktop, assuming you have PR CC 2014 installed, you are looking for this:

  • Best settings for export from FCE to Web

    I'm trying to get a 20-minute project (audio and video) exported from FCE to iWeb in reasonably high quality. I've consulted the manual, and have tried various compression settings and consulted some online tutorials, to no avail - more often than not, if it "publishes" to iWeb, the resulting file looks like it will take the better part of forever to buffer. Any recommendations?

    Well, not sure about what you mean “in reasonably high quality”...?
    What export-settings did you use...? size and codec...?
    A twenty minutes project for the web in reasonably quality...?
    Did you start with your project in FCE with the best and highest uncompressed resolution ?
    Did you export (compress) from this resolution once to your desired web format ?
    Doing file compression properly, I guess, one needs years of experience...
    There are far to many variables one has to consider...
    t’s rather an art-form than exact science...
    Anyway...
    If you like, here are one of my settings:
    Compression H.264 / Frame Rate Current / Key Frame Automatic / Quality Medium /
    Data Rate Automatic (higher rate - higher file size) / Encoding Best Quality /
    Size 480 x 270 (16:9) / Sound AAC Stereo 44.1 kHz (Mono and lower Rate reduces size).

  • Settings for changing DVD to streaming web movie

    I have found parts of an answer to my question strewn across this discussion group. I'm hoping someone can put the entire process down in one place for me and others.
    Here's my story. I received a formatted DVD of a friend's 100 minute film. He recommended Handbrake to rip the film. Handbrake's default has ripped it into a mp4 format. Trying to load that into imovie looks like it will take hours. SO, instead, now I am processing it with Quicktime Pro, to turn it into a quicktime movie. Nonetheless, this process has taken over an hour. THEN, I plan to load it into imovie HD, create a few shorter excerpts, and export them for web streaming.
    I have a feeling i didn't need to do all these steps. Can someone tell me where I can find the most concise description of both efficiently formatting, (please include actual settings), to transform a DVD to the correct film format, and then imported into imovie for eventual streaming over the internet. Are there several different formats for the internet. Anyway, I am a pro sound editor so I do understand the concepts, but not the actual process. Thanks in advance.

    I work using QuickTime Pro and you can, too. No need to bring the file back into iMovie and wait for it to convert it (again) just to edit or rearrange clips.
    The same steps outlined above can create multiple selections as new files and you can join them together using Pro.
    Make your new "selections" and save these new QuickTime files to leave your original untouched.
    Open all of these new files in new Player windows. Let's say you have ten new "movies" you wish to join together.
    Starting with the clip you wish to make the "start" of your new file you can build it up by simple copy/paste.
    Open clip "2", Select All (Command-A) and Copy (Command-C).
    Switch back to the clip "1" file (Command-~ to toggle through open windows) and place the playhead at the end of the file and Command-V to paste. Close clip 2 window (Command-W) to help keep things organized and have fewer open windows.
    Open clip "3", Select All and Copy. Open movie 1 (it will have the playhead at the end of the timeline) and Paste. Close window 3 and open clip "4" to repeat the steps until all have been added together.
    This file is still known as clip 1 and you want to Save As (self contained) and rename the file so you don't overwrite the original.
    You can then delete all of the "parts" to free up HD space and continue editing the final (joined) file with Pro.
    No importing into iMovie. No re-compression of already compressed files and very fast if you use the keyboard shortcuts.

  • What settings for exporting 1080p videos for Youtube recorded from FRAPS?

    Hello,
    I've tried a custom setting of mine which took an hour or so to render but came out blurry:
    Video:
    H264
    1920 x 1080
    Bitrate: 15
    VBR, 1 PASS
    29.97 FPS
    PAL
    And audio is just on default with 160 bitrate.
    The quality from FRAPS is perfect but as said before when inported in Premiere and then rendered its outputted blurry and jumpy.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

    chucknoris501
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

    best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

  • Settings for exporting MPEG for Vista MCE

    Hi
    I'm new to video editing and I am currently playing with the Premiere Elements trial before I decide to buy or not.
    My video is imported from a Canon HF100 in AVCHD format.
    Can someone please post the settings I should use on the first screen when I create my project. I'm just setting it to 1080i AVCHD which seems correct.
    Also I'd like recommended settings for exporting my final movie. I'd like to export onto DVD and some file type that is suitable for viewing using Vista MCE (MPEG I assume)
    I dont mind waiting for the rendering if that means better quality. Should I just whack everything up to max quality? Or are there better ways to export?
    Vista MCE is viewed on a Pioneer 42" plasma if that makes any difference.
    My PC seems powerful enough as I've rendered a couple short files already.
    Thanks
    Alan

    Alan,
    I *believe* that you have the proper Project Preset. As I do not do AVCHD work, Paul_LS, or Steve will have to verify that 100%.
    Now, for your Export/Delivery there are some considerations:
    1.) If you edit your AVCHD footage in it's native state, the ultimate delivery would be BD for play on your 42" plasma TV. You would Burn the BD with the proper BD settings. Encoding will be handled there. (see below)
    2.) If you deliver on DVD-Video, it will be down-converted to a DVD-compliant MPEG-2. One option that this gives you is having all of your editing done in HD, should you decide to later go to BD.
    3.) Another possibility would be to choose a Preset for SD DVD-spec. material and let your camera do the down-converting to SD. This will speed up both the editing and the Burning to DVD. However, if you later decide to do an HD version of your Project, you'll be looking at starting pretty much from scratch and doing an HD Capture.
    4.) In your particular delivery scheme, you will be using a software player, instead of a physical DVD, or BD. It is the file, and not a physical disc, that you will be using. That is about the only difference.
    Unfortunately, I do not know which player/players come with Vista MCE. I would *assume* that it/they can easily handle a DVD-spec. MPEG-2 file (the same as Burned to a physical DVD disc, but without the pure DVD-Video structure - just the raw file, with no VOB, VIDEO_TS folder etc. That would allow the movie to play. However, the software player can *probably* also handle the full DVD-Video structure and allow for navigation, just like on a DVD hardware player.
    I would *assume* that this OS might well have BD equivilent capabilities, as well. There, you would be Exporting to an MPEG-4 AVC or VC-1 format for HD playback. This would keep your delivery in HD (like your footage) and allow the best possible image in playback.
    Those are just some rough thoughts. Others will have some very specific suggestions for your particular editing and playback schemes.

    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?

  • What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

    What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

    • iMovie'08 to 11
    - Share to Media Browser - AND as Large (or Medium) - HD or other resolutions degrades the final result
    iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choise if quality is important as they all degrade the picture by discarding every second line when going from, Event's to Project's and this can not be mended.
    iMovie HD6 and FinalCut delivers 100% of what any DVD-Authoring program needs.
    • DVD is as standard MAX - intrelaced SD-Video - and can not be any better than this
    • iDVD does only care about TIME / Duration as
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    • iDVD Does Region = Zero (to be played everywhere)
    • Frame rate - DVD can be in two types PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
    If Your material is 30fps then keep to NTSC (29.97fps), if 25fps keep to PAL.
    One can feed iDVD the other frame rate - BUT RESULTING DVD WILL BE BAD
    I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on Internet) to convert all material to the same and final frame rate
    • NTSC - US etc
    • PAL - EU etc

  • Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

    Hello everyone!
    As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
    Let  me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export  them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
    When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
    Which  is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file  size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
    [Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
    AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

    If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
    Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
    Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
    See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
    "FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
    "FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
    By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

  • New Sequence Settings for iPhone 4 Video?

    Hey everyone! I looked through the CS4 forum and didn't find an answer to this question, so thought I would post it here.
    I am using Premiere Pro CS4. I have taken HD video using my iPhone 4 (1280x720, 29 fps, data rate 11011kbps, etc). I want to splice together a series of these short videos, but am unsure of how to keep the HD picture quality when I export to a new *.avi file. Each time I export to an avi my resolution and picture quality drop considerably. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep the 720p quality? I am sure my problem is the wrong video preset (I've tried HDV 720p30 and HDV 1080p30 without luck). Any suggestions here would be appreciated!

    Now, if you will wish to create DVD-Video, then you might wish to consider maybe two different Exports. One for other playback, and then look at down-rezzing for SD/DVD-Video playback. This ARTICLE should give you some tips on HD to SD.
    Good luck,
