Tips for making DVD@ccess works on PC reliably !!!

Anyone here have experience Authoring in DVDSP using DVD@ccess where your DVD will be played on a PC ??
I beleive you need to install the DVD@ccess plug-in but i can't seem to find it anywhere on the net. Also someone told me the plug in ( for PC ) is installed on the DVD once you authored with DVD@ccess but i can't seem to find it either. Any suggestion ??? Thanks

When you burn an image with DVD@ccess checked in your buld and burn window, it adds the file to the image -- NOTE: As I recall this only happens when you burn an image or master to a Tape backup.
Also, you can put an autostart.ini file on the DVD-rom portion of the disk that runs DVD@access, but unless you get a little fancy with you autostart file, it will try to install it every time!!!
Bottom line is, it's a little quirky!!! Good luck.
Jason
PS - there are some DVD programs that flat will not work with DVD@ccess. I think POWER DVD is one, but I can't remember.

  • What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

    In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
    Thanks,
    Chuck Taylor

    Question:
    If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
    I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
    Should I look at a different encoder?
    If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
    thanks.

  • 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

  • What program do i need for making dvds I can play in a dvd player

    what program do i need for making dvds that i can play in a dvd player?

    iDVD.
    Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife from your favourite software vendor. iLife 11, 09, and 08 all contain the same version of iDVD.
    When you get the disc install only iDVD, then update it here:
    iDVD 7.1.2

  • Any new tips for making Garageband run quicker (Delay/Lag)?

    Hey all
    AI was just wondering if anyone had come up with any new tips for making Garageband run quicker? Theres such a delay form when I move the cursor or press play to when anything actually happens.
    Ive tried everything here
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/Optimize.html
    But its not really made anything quicker
    I don't know where this option is though?
    Make sure your Energy Saver System Prefs is set to Highest Performance, if this is an option
    I'm not using any effects/plugins (yet) on my song, but will start mixing EQing/using plugins soon so need to try and stop
    It really slowed down when I recorded (and copy pasted) a load of handclaps into it over the entire song and onto multiple tracks.
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  • Best Process for making DVD slideshows w/iDVD

    Hasn't someone made a Sticky about this yet??
    I just perused the forum for this answer and it seems the user "Shippley" has provided the most help in this area. I'm hoping they can help in this case. For making a dvd slideshow using ONLY iMovie, iPhoto and or iDVD what process has been determined to provide the best visual quality on playback in a DVD player?
    I've read that for best results in putting a slideshow onto a DVD is to make the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie first, and then send it on to iDVD.
    But I need more information, and in one location-
    Should the iPhoto/iMovie slideshow be WITHOUT any transitions for best quality?
    In iPhoto, should we organize our slideshow in an Event then Share > Send to iDVD for best results, or is there a better way?
    Does iMovie HD (6.0.4) or iMovie '08 (7.1.4) make a difference in quality? Otherwise I want the easiest.
    When the iMovie slideshow is being sent to iDVD, should we use Share>Export Movie for the best quality when sending to iDVD? Or is there another/better way?
    My photo's are scanned from slides and are small file sizes, if they were large (like from a digital camera) do I have to resize them for optimum DVD viewing?
    What about the settings for widescreen or standard, either one better?
    iDVD encoding, Best/High/Professional, which one for best clarity?
    Like most other infrequent DVD makers, I do not want a fancy slideshow, I don't care if it has transitions if it means I can have better clarity in the DVD player. I have old slides that I simply want to burn to a DVD.
    Thanks for your help!
    Sandy

    Here is a quote from a post of F Shippley on March 8, 2010 that I am referring to. Bengt, you also responded to this post. The post is titled "poor picture quality with DVD slideshow".
    Thus my confusion as to the best practice. I may look into Fotomagico, but like others, I don't want to have to pay for another application that may only be used once or twice a year! Thank you for your responses.
    F Shippley writes, "As I told you in your other message yhread:
    The easiest way to improve the quality of slideshows for use with iDVD is to create them as movies in iPhoto or iMovie! Creating slideshows in iDVD has MANY drawbacks (as you have probably found). It's 'quick and dirty' easy for a few slides, but that's about all I use it for.
    BTW, for PAL DVDs use 768x576 pixel images for standard video and use 1024x576 pixel images for widescreen video. That's all the resolution a DVD supports. "

  • Tips for replacing DVD burners on Tecra A-series

    I think I need to replace my DVD writer. I was using a Mat****a UJ-811T that came with the laptop but it no longer burns properly, though it continues to read discs fine. I initially thought it was a problem with Nero (calibration error), but it doesn't matter which burning program I use. I spent a weekend going through various forums looking for a solution: I've run a lens cleaner, updated drivers, searched for firmware updates (no-one seems to be able to find any for the Mat****a, including on the Firmware Page), tried different media brands (though I initially using Sony and TDK anyway). All with no luck. So I'm thinking that it's reached the stage that I need to replaced the burner itself.
    So, any tips on brands and type? I want something that is internal and easy to self-install. I'd also like to buy online and get quick delivery (I'm leaving Ireland in about a month) so website suggestions also welcome. Please keep your advice relatively simple; I'm a relative novice who is learning quickly.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    This is very pity! Its always frustrating when the drive stops working!
    But there is no much to do! You have reported that the calibration error message appears.
    Well, it looks like the drive cannot calibrate the lens properly and this leads to the burning problems!
    As you already supposed the drive replacement is needed!
    Usually the user manual which was preinstalled on the notebook should provide some compatible and supported drives!
    Check this! My user manual contains this info!
    But if you dont find anything I would recommend contacting the ASP in you country for drive ordering!
    You should know that not all drives are compatible because of the master/slave/c-sel settings.
    If the drive supports wrong settings the BIOS will not recognize this device correctly!.
    So make a call to the service provider and ask for details! Good luck

  • ___Any tips for making this sign look real(er)? Ai and/or Ps

    I'm trying to make this sign* look like an actual real sign (like a sign that would have neon type lettering, but turned off during the day), that would hang above a restaurant/bar in a cosmopolitan city.
    the client thinks it isn't 'real' lloking enough - any tips/suggestions/tutorials y'all can suggest?
    9Not so much for the neon aspect - I think I have that covered) - All comments welcome!
    *name in neon has been covered by green for this screenshot's purposes.

    The trick is creating the illusion of depth and dimensions.  At a minimum you should be creating shadows and highlights ( difficult to recommend anything with seeing the actual artwork ).  Neon is a sophisticated illustration that will require quite a bit of detail ( even with the lights - off ).  Neon also has its own set of imperfections, so something computer generated will need to include those imperfections.  Consider "Blends".  Post your work so we can see how it is progressing.

  • Any software for making dvds that uses cuda?

    im encoding a few videos to dvd, right now using devede which is cpu only.
    are there any programs that take advantage of both the cpu and gpu for encoding videos?
    thanks, markp1989

    Hi,
    first of all you have to cut your songs into 20-30 sec clips. You can do it with quicktime pro.
    Then you can convert them in mp3 with "mAC3dec", you can find it in versontracker. This will not work with songs bought on itunes Music store, since they are protected.

  • Other options for making dvd outside fcpx

    Hi
    I was just curious. I have lots of time for curiosity since the .img I'm exporting from fcpx to make dvds is at 58% after 5 hours. And it's just a simple dvd with menu and chapter headings.
    I imagine I could have exported the timeline to Compressor right? Would making a .img for a simple dvd have been quicker that way?
    Someone suggested using iDVD. Could I have exported the timeline directly into iDVD or would I have to have exported something from FCPX first?
    I guess I went with using fcpx cause it was such a simple dvd.
    la di la di la,
    elmer

    You use FCP X Share>Master File.
    Then drop the Master File into iDVD in the usual way.
    BTW: 5 hours seems a bit long to me. Depends on length.
    At 66% all the encoding is finished, then FCP X hands the burning to the Create Disc app, it should happen all automatically.
    So 58% means you are nearly there.

  • Compression settings for making DVD in FCE

    I'm sure this question must have been answered many times - but I can't seem to find anything...
    I want to make DVD from FCE - I ususally make a Quick time file from QT conversion - but what settings are teh correct ones for DVD?
    The project is in a mix of clips in 1920x1080 and 720x575 and the QT file I made with these settings: H264 - size: 1920x1080 looks good when played on teh computer, but when burned to a DVD with iDVD, it jumps in the DVD player .
    When I make a QT file (not QT conversion), it sqeezes the dimensions down to 4:3
    Any suggestions?

    towanda62 wrote:
    ... but when burned to a DVD with iDVD, it jumps in the DVD player .
    for usage with iDVD, no 'Conversion' needed, the dvd-authoring app will convert anyhow. 'Export QT movie' should do it. too much 'intermediates' doesn't add any value in DVD-making.
    'jumping' usually indicates a) too high burn speed, b) 'dirty' player- or burner-head, c) 'wrong' brand of dvd-r (Verbatim has an excellent track-record here), don't use no-names.

  • Can I use standard Quicktime or anything else?  (for making dvd's)

    Please forgive me if this issue has been discussed, but I didn't find any answers in my searching so here goes: How can I make a DVD that will play in TV set DVD players? Do I need any alternate programs or possibly an upgrade to Quicktime Pro?
    Heres the situation I have that way, with any luck, you'll understand what and I am trying to do (and hopefully tell me it's a rather easy process): I have a friend that has a bunch of skate videos available for download on his personal web page....turns out those downloads are .mgp and they play through Quicktime. Now what I want to do is take those said videos and make them into a DVD I can watch in any player. Is this possible with Quicktime, iDVD, or anything else that came standard with my new Macbook or do I need another program? Sorry, I'm a new Mac user.
    Thanks for the help I've already been given on ths site and the info I am sure to receive now. So far these discussion forums have been extremely helpful.

    Sorry I posted this in the wrong discussion forum.

  • What's the best technique for making this page work?

    Here's a link to a jpg showing a design for a portfolio site that I'm building:
    http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll130/Mickmastergeneral/test_modeling_texturing.jpg
    The image of the ATV will be a Qucktime file; the visitor will be able to scrub the slider to see a pre-rendered rotation of the model. The visitor will then be able to view a different model by clicking on one of the thumbnails at the bottom of the page. So far so good.
    But the visitor will also need the ability to display the model's texture map in a new window (by clicking on one of the the texture map icons on the right), as well as choose wireframe or shaded mode (by clicking on the appropriate text button; this would load a quicktime movie of either a wireframe or textured model turnaround).
    So, the trick is getting all the appropriate stuff to load when the user clicks on a lower screen thumnail: The Quicktime movie, the appropriate texture map icons for that model (which in turn need to link to pages containing the correct image), and "Shaded" & "Wireframe" text buttons (that link to the appropriate Quicktime movie.)
    I haven't done any web design in years, so I'm using an ancient version of DW (Dreamweaver Ultradev 4), and I'm definitely not up on the latest techniques. I know how to work with frames, but I've heard that it's a good idea to stay away from them. Would layers work for this? I've worked with Behaviours and I know how to do image swaps and hide/show layers, but I don't know how (or if) I can use that trick to make the appropriate texture and wireframe/shaded links appear. Any ideas how I should proceed?

    So, do you think it would make sense for me to just bite the bullet and learn Flash?
    No - I don't think Flash is a good tool for a general purpose website other than for special cosmetic effects.  But I do think it is the thing to use if you want those, and not QT.
    - I already have a ton of those model animations rendered out as h.264 Quicktime files. They look pretty good and are a reasonable file size. If I bring them into a Flash file, does that convert them into Flash? Will that affect image quality or inflate their file size?
    They should convert quite acceptably.

  • How to Manually Perform software Updates and tips for making Macbook better

    Hi. So recently my internet was really slow. I figured the problem out and now is working well. Although the youtube site does not allow me to view entire videos.
    Well...i was told that since my macbook is turned off at night, it cant perform software updates between 3am-6am...so how can i do these manually? or how can i change the update time to sometime in the evening?
    I heard these software updates are suppose to make the macbook run and perform better. what other things can i do to accomplish that?
    (Laymans terms, im new to the mac world)

    Select Software Update from the Apple menu. Or download the standalone updaters from Apple's download site - http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/. Or simply set the Check for Updates option in Software Update to whatever frequency you prefer. SU will notify you when updates are available.

  • Best workflow for making dvds on printable disks

    I am going to burn a few dvds and want to also use my printer to print some images onto the dvd itself.
    I have printable dvd-r blanks, and will use idvd and my mac pro dvd drive to make and burn the dvds, but I am wondering which is the best sequence to do it in?
    Do I burn the dvd first and then print on its surface, or do I print the surface first and then burn the dvd?
    Will one way be better for avoiding burning or playback problems or does it make any difference?
    Thanks for any advice.

    How do I use it if I want to burn another copy of my movie to a dvd in the future?
    I use Toast to make all additional copies from a disc image (or from the finished dvd itself). But you can also use apple's disc utility just the same without the additional cost of any 3rd party software.
    There is very little difference between a disc image and a finished /burned Dvd-R. Both are fully self-contained (complete with video_ts folder/s). Both respond exactly the same way when played with apple's dvd player app.
    Yes you can go ahead and delete all prior iDvd and iMovie project files (assuming all is exactly the way you want the dvd to play now and to look like as far as menu selections, movies, titles, audio, and slideshows). But I personally would not delete any of the above files until I am 100% certain I will not need them again in the future (in terms of further modifications to an existing iMovie project especially). External HD space is rather cheap these days and I have a habit of keeping existing iMovie project files and if necessary archiving an existing iDvd project file which I'd rather not have on my boot volume but poses no problems on an ext. FW HD.
