Shooting on JVC EVERIO HD 1920*1080

I shot a wedding for a family member and I edited on Final Cut Pro 7. I am having the most difficult time putting this file on DVD. Its Super Huge! Over 100 GB! Has someone shot on this type of camera and what is the best way to Output to DVD if I don't have compressor? I would really appreciate any suggestions on settings or methods. Thanks

If you have FCP, then you have Compressor.

  • Best initial settings in Premiere Pro CS5 for JVC Everio HD .mts files

    I have a JVC Everio HD Camera and I was wondering what would be the best setting to import the files? Should I just do the generic widescreen 16:9 setting? I believe the resolution is 1920 x 1080. I'm using the best setting which is UXP, but JVC told me that it's for Blueray. It seemed a little jumpy,  but I chose regular dvd setting.

    The PPro tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 may help, with more help in message #5 - where there is a description of the NEW ITEM process

  • Best Sequence settings for JVC Everio files (TOD format)

    I own a JVC Everio camcorder, and I recorded some videos if Full HD (1920 X 1080).  I loaded the TOD files to my computer and converted them to MPEGs using the bundled PowerDirector program.  When I play these HD MPEG files in Windows Media Player, they look fantastic.  Very smooth color and no pixelation.
    I loaded these files into a Premier Pro CS4 project because I need to perform some simple editing (trim in/out points, small rotation, and color correction).  I created a sequence using the AVCHD 1080p square pixel preset, which has the following settings:
    AVCHD 1080p square pixel
    29.97 frames/second
    Square pixels
    Progressive scan
    30 fps Drop-Fram time code
    48kHz audio
    I-Frame Only MPEG
    Maximum Bit Depth, Maximum Render Quality
    When I play the video files using either the Source or Project Monitor, the quality of the files appears degraded compared to what I see through Windows Media Player.  I'm concerned that I'm not using the correct settings to best work with this source video format.
    Should I change either the Program or Sequence settings to optimize for this file format, or is Windows Media Player performing some magic in the background?
    Thanks,
    Matthew

  • I borrowed a JVC Everio Camcorder that stores the shot video in a CED format.  How in the world do I play back on my MAC and convert files so I can download to iPhotos and iMovies?

    I borrowed a JVC Everio HD Camcorder that shoots video and stores on an SD-Card in a CED format.  I cannot playback this video on my MAC and would also like to know how to convert to a more standard form of video.

    I have downloaded the trail....and it won't recognize my .264 files....not sure what the deal is?  Here is a screen shot-they files are "grayed" out....and won't highlight.  Do you see anything wrong?  I'm pulling the files off of a Lorex DVR security system.  LHD200

  • JVC Everio GZ-MC200 compatible?

    JVC Everio GZ-MC200 compatible with minimac?
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/camcorders.html
    there is no my camcorder!

    Well that is wrong advice mark, it is not a firewire or a converter issue. The GZ series ( I have the GZ 50 as well as DV tape cameras) records directly to MPEG-2 on a hard drive or in the case of the 200, a Microdrive.
    Alexsi - connect via USB 2 with power supply connected. Camera will mount as a hard drive to the desktop. Find the movie folder. Copy the files there to the desktop (only the MOD files are required as they are the movie clips) - these are all MPEG-2 e.g. DVD format.
    Open the files in MPEG Streamclip. You will see that they open and you can even trim and cut a bit in that program and it is free.
    If you want to, MPEG Streamclip will open all of them in a row, in order, then you select repair timecode errors (Apple+F keys) and it will string them into one continuous file. You can at this point export to MPEG and have one long MPEG-2 file or, for iMovie:
    Export to DV is the menu item you want - output is a DV file consistent with any other DV file that you can import and edit into iMovie.
    Note MPEG-2 is a delivery format and it is not as easy to edit as DV captures 30 fresh frames a second and MPEG-2 doesn't - it makes each frame from changes to the last one. Once in DV format it can be edited. Also as it is a delivery format the quuality won't be as good as DV shot directly.
    However I shoot at the Utra mode which is MPEG-2 at 10.5MB second and the quality is amazingly good. The files go right into Toast for burning to DVD very quickly as they are the MPEG-2 standard and Toast needs only to quickly multiplex them and away you go.
    Downside - not DV, upside in the GZ50 it will record 7 hours at best quality and 37(!) hours at a economy mode of 1.5 kbps. And it is the size of 2 packs of cigarettes and has an F 1.2 lens. For something not being edited a lot it is pretty good.
    Final advantage over tape - an hour of MPEG-2 copies as a USB mounted hard drive in about 5 minutes not an hour as per capturing from tape.
    What these cameras are doing is making the terrible DVD cameras with their short 30 minute limit and expensive tiny DVD media, obsolete.

    Hey,

    Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
    please help !

    FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
    If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
    What is your camera's exact model name and number?

  • JVC Everio Audio Quality After Import

    I filmed quite a bit of video using my companies JVC Everio in full HD 1920x1080. The camera natively shoots in .tod format. I flipped it to .avi using AVS Video Converter. Both files play fine in VLC player, and they look just fine. After importing into premiere, the videos will barely play, and are super laggy. They video doesn't match up to the audio in the source window at all. I'll set in and out points, and only the video will go to the sequence in the timeline. Once I drag the audio and match it up to the video i just dragged, the audio doesn't match. I have to manually fix it. Even still, the audio sounds HORRIBLE. Again, it sounds just fine in VLC player, it's only after I import it that it made a womans voice sound slightly deeper, and just terrible quality. Am I doing something wrong in the import? Are there some sequence settings I need to change? I can fix most of the video problems, I can even deal with manually adjusting the placement of the audio and video after each insert of video from the source moniter, but I simply cannot deal with the loss of quality from the audio. Please help, I'd love to provide any additonal information about the system or project settings.

    You sir are a genius.

  • Jvc everio playback twice the speed with imovie 11

    playback in imovie 11 from jvc everio hard disk camcorder plays twice the speed!
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    try to connect the camera to Mac and use Import from Camera option to import AVCHD files to iMovie. 1080i and 1080 24/25p are able to work well with iMoive.
    however, if AVCHD mts footages are 1080 50/60p, then a converter is needed. iMovie doesn't accpet 50/60p avchd files. It will prompt that it is not supported media. See this guide about how to import avchd files to iMoive.

  • Can I convert 1920-1080 to 1280- 720 (and 29,97 fps to 50) and if so, how?

    Can I convert 1920-1080 to 1280- 720 (and 29,97 fps to 50) and if so, how?
    Coz the 1920-1080 clips dont come out nice.
    Next time I'll shoot everything with 1 camera...

    If what you want to do is mix 1920X1080 clips with 1280X720 clips, I suggest that you create a sequence by dropping a 1280X720 clip on the "New Item" button to create the new sequence.
    To quote John Smith:
    Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different (I use CS5)

    -and a FAQ on sequence setting http://forums.adobe.com/message/3804341
    You can then drop the 1920X1080 clips on that timeline. You can choose to do as Jim suggests and set "Scale to Frame Size" so that your video fits automatically, or you may choose to use the Scale parameter in the Motion effect to scale the video. The second method allows you to choose the best part of the frame to show if that turns out to be useful.
    Many people refer to 29.97 as 60i and it is possible that when you wrote 50 up above, you meant 50i which is more commonly called 25. So basically, your 29.97 footage would be slowed down from around 30 to 25. You will have to speed it up 20% with Time Remapping, or just the Speed/Duration parameters. It would be better to do that in a separate sequence and then use that sequence as a clip in your main timeline.
    If you actually meant 25, then you are going to have to slow down the 29.97 considerably. It might be better to interpret the 50 to 25 and add the 29.97 as I said above.
    If this footage is interlaced, I suggest that you deinterlace it if one is Upper Field First and the other is Lower Field First. Those two don't play well together.

  • After an upgrade to Mavericks - my Video Camera is no longer recognized by the system (JVC Everio HD video camera)

    I just upgraded to Mavericks (up from Mountain Lion) last week. Today, I tried to upload movies to my MacBook Pro, and it no longer 'sees' the camera when plugged into the USB port. I have tired iMovie, iPhoto, and also direct access, via the hard drive. Nothing works. I have even restarted the computer with the camera plugged in and it is still not being recognized, and I cannot get the movies 'out' of the camera. I have never had a problem before , In fact I loaded movies last week, just by pluggin it into the USB.
    Are there ANY suggestions on how or what to do for it to start to pick up on the fact that my video camera is indeed plugged in and has movies that can be imported?
    Thanks!

  • DO NOT BUY A JVC EVERIO!!!!

    I own a bunch of cameras so I have a educated opinion.
    I purchased a JVC Everio GZ-MG130 and the camera is not worth the money they want for it. I purchased it brand new and I tried it once. Had formatting problems, in the middle of recording it told me there was trouble with the hard drive and it need to be re-formatted!!! But after TWENTY times of doing that it became frustrating. Add to that that about 2 hours of critical footage is now lost and gone forever. No, I didn't delete it, it just is not there. Great Camera huh? I knew better than to go with JVC. Shame on me. Hopefully I can return it and get a better one. I'm torn between the Panasonic (good company) or a Sony. I already have 2 MiniDV cams, I want a HD Cam. Can anyone give good advice on them? Hopefully my JVC disaster will save others from wasting time and money.

    Well, I bought a JVC Everio after reading so much about Camcorders and the MAC. I need the hard drive for my trip to Africa, tapes and DVD's just aren't practical. My problem is that after I connect my Everio to the MAC, the still images seem to be okay in that they open in iPhoto. However, in order to open the video clips I was testing out, seems like I had to open iMovie 8, but when I do and try to import the clips they are grayed out, yet they don't show up in iPhoto so I can just drag them over. Any ideas what to do. I'm a novice and am just trying to make sure I can do it and then learn more about iDVD and perhaps build something from there. I cannot take the camera back nor do I want to - it is a great camcorder and easy to use and will work for my purpose. I just need to find out what to do to import the clips. Everything is recognizable, the icon shows up on my desktop, the clips are there etc. Anyone with any good ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

  • LR 4.2 won't import a JVC Everio MOD (MPG) video file

    I have hundreds of JVC Everio video files that are natively created as MOD files on the camcorder.  However, I can copy them to my Windows 7 system and simply rename them as *.MPG files and they play fine in Windows Media Player.  I noticed that Adobe Premier Elements can import MOD files, but I get a "There is a problem with the video file..." error message in LR4.2 when I try to import the renamed MPG file.  The Import function won't display MOD files as a valid file format, but the MPG files do appear in the Import browser list.

    I'm confused about the licensing issue.
    Cyberlink PowerDirector will successfully import and manipulate both *.MOD files and MOD files renamed as *.MPG.
    Adobe Premier Elements can (apparently) import MOD files (see http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/supported-file-formats-premiere-elements.html).
    Why can't Lightroom?
    Any recommendations on what format to convert the MOD files to so I can import them into Lightroom?

    I have always been a miniDV user so this is all new…. however I was able to help a friend get his hard drive camcorder setup after having to get a converter online. I am just a little reluctant to invest in a camcorder when I don’t know if it will work or not.

  • Newbie seeks advice on importing to iMovie from JVC Everio

    Hi there,
    While I'm an old hand at the Mac - I really have little experience of AV applications and cams. I am very interested in buying a JVC Everio GZ-MC 500 or MC 200 Digital Media Camera, but just found out that I cannot import movie outputs into iMovie. Since MicroDrive technology seems like the way of the future I'd like to stick to the JVC. Is there any work around to this problem?
    I have iLife 05 with iMovie HD installed and have just downloaded QT7 with Pro upgrade on the way. Does the MPEG 2 component solve this situation?
    Any assistance to this would be a great help.
    Thanks and regards,
    Des

    My experience with microdrives (..incidentally, Clive Sinclair used the name 'Microdrive' for the tape storage devices he sold for his original 1980s home computers ..about 20 feet of videotape wound into an endless loop in a teeny plastic housing, rather like a miniature 8-track cartridge ..they were also used in the ancient British ICL 'One-Per-Desk' under licence from Sinclair: those two slots along the top are microdrive slots.. Oops ..sorry; where was I..?) ..is that they're unreliable. CF cards are better. But how much video can you store on a CF card, and at what price?
    Microdrives need a moment to run up to speed, and constantly starting and stopping them - as I've done with, for instance, a Sony F828 stills camera - I find that the drive gets confused about whether it should be saving or accessing ..and just stops working. Same thing has happened to me with a microdrive in various other devices. So I don't trust them any more. I've used various sizes (340Mb, 1Gb, 2.2Gb) and I always cross my fingers: some have stopped working completely; others have had to be reformatted as DOS, and then formatted as Mac HFS+ ..and I've found them to be more trouble than they promise to be worth. Imagine suddenly losing all your video after you'd just shot about 46 minutes' worth.. Weddings? Argghh! The bride and groom would be so disappointed ..and so would you!
    There are various programs which will read MPEG-2 footage (..including the audio: iMovie will play the video 'natively', but often without the sound..) such as Streamclip. That'll convert MPEG footage into proper QuickTime, which iMovie can handle. So you could connect your microdrive(s) to your Mac, copy the footage, squirt it through Streamclip, then edit it.
    However, be aware that the quality of the footage may not be as high as material recorded with proper miniDV (or Digital-8) tapes because of the nature of the Everio's recording/compressing/storing routine. The specification - on that page mentioned by 'L', above - shows that the Everios record in the same format as DV "NTSC (720x480) 4:2:0 PAL (720x576) 4:2:0" but - not having tried one - I dunno if the final appearance ..once the video's been 'unscrambled' from MPEG-2 format into something iMovie compatible, then saved back to tape or hard disc.. is as good as DV. It might be even better [..HDV hi-def is saved as MPEG-2..] but I couldn't say.
    But DO be careful about microdrives ..ask a few Everio owners before putting down your money and buying one. And how does the price of a microdrive compare with a 60 minute miniDV tape?
    Oh, by the way, I almost forgot: welcome to iMovie Discussions!

    Hi William
    In iDVD selct file - new.  From the dropdown menu name your project, enter where you want to save it, select aspect ratio 16:9, save.
    The templates you choose could be 14:9 or 4:3.  If you select a 4:9 for a 16:9 project you'll be prompted by asking if you want to change or keep. Make sure to keep original aspect ratio.
    You should be able to  setup a 1pm, 3pm, 5pm menu in iDVD provided you exported the QT file with chapter markers. The chapter markers should be at these times.  Don't set the marker right at the start or end of a frame.
