Trouble getting a 16:9 video in Premiere to burn to DVD without cropping

I am using Adobe Encore CS5.1 and I am having trouble burning a 16:9 DVD. Everytime I create the DVD, the video becomes stretched and the footage is off-screen. I tried a couple different transcoding methods, but the best I could do still had some footage stretched off screen. I tried the DVD on my computer and DVD player, and both had the same issue. The video uploaded fine to YouTube, not cropping at all, so what do I have to change in order for the whole video to appear on the DVD? Movies do it all the time, so how do i get it to work? This is the first time in my six years of using Adobe that I am confused enough to use the forums, so needless to say, I'm stumped LOL
Thanks, hope I can figure it out.

Both files were exported from premiere correctly, because when I view them on youtube they look fine.
That does not follow. Youtube retranscodes them, and will display an HD movie just fine. If you do the HD to SD downrez incorrectly, they will not be correct on a DVD.
I still don't know whether you are doing HD to SD and whether you are brining HD into Encore. Give me more to work with.
I assume your avi and flv are the source material you are exporting from in Premiere. What are you transcoding them to (I.e. the transcode settings)? What are the pixel sizes from and to.
Does the asset show "Do Not Transcode" under the DVD transcode status column in project settings?

Poor quality (vibration) on video clips when it burns onto DVD

We created 15 mins video on Final Cut Express, saved on Quick Time, and burned onto DVD. Although the video on Quick Time was fine, some of the quality of the video clips on DVD we burned was so poor....It had so much vibration on some of the video clips. We tried on both Best Performance & Best Quality, but they both had poor quality. Do you have any suggestions? Do you think upgrading to I Life 08 will help? Please Help!!!! Thanks!

It had so much vibration on some of the video clips.
Video on a DVD is mpg-2 compressed (which looks at frame to frame differences in compression) and is interlaced.
If you have content with lots of movement - like many hand-held shots - mpg-2 compression and interlacing will act to create lots of 'jumping' or 'vibration'. The only solution is to use a tripod and avoid shaky, hand-held shots.
BTW, for a short clip, 'Best Performance' will give you the best quality you can get.

IDVD video encode error when burning to DVD

I am trying to burn a new copy of a project I successfully burned to DVD 2 years ago. I have not changed the source material. After the menu renders and video encoding begins I immediately get an error message "video encoding error." There are no menu warnings. All video is successfully previewed. Nothing has changed from the previous burn. The project info box shows all video and audio properly encoded and present.
What gives?

The way from FCE or FCP has been the same for me for lot's of years since FinalCut 1.2.5 I think (was no Express or Pro then)
And QuickTime Conversion never worked for me - I guess You were lucky two years ago.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Just double click on the Hard Disk icon (top right on DeskTop) and read on bottom part of this windows frame e.g,
( in English - 1 of 14 selected, 38.24 GB FREE)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding if material (video + menu) exceeds 40 minutes ! if less I use Best Performances
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1) - BEST IS NOT BEST at all only fastest and results in Maximum amount of BURN ERRORS !
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Getting multiple copies of iPhoto slideshow when I burn a dvd - why?

I just learned how to create a slideshow in iPhoto and struggled through the learning curve to be able to burn it as it appears in iPhoto. I got so excited today when I burned a dvd and it actually played on my TV's dvd player, though it was missing the iDVD theme intro. Then when my slideshow was over, the theme intro played and the entire slideshow played again. In other words, I have at least 2 copies of the slideshow on the disc.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? thanks!

Hi
Most common origin to this are:
Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

Trouble getting Final Cut edited video to DVD

So here's the background.. I had some old VHS videos that I wanted to edit and put on DVD for storage/easier viewing if the desire hit me. So it's been months and i'm still laboring over this stupid project finding the best work flow.
After struggling with iDVD, compressor (3 days to convert a 3 hr video, seriously?), DVD Studio Pro and other options I decided to forget the fancy menus and just export the **** thing. Quality isn't my main concern so I figured put it in VisualHub and convert to DVD. This worked fine for VHS Tape 1 but now I'm trying it to do it VHS Tape 2 and for some reason everytime it gets to a certain point, it hangs forever. Now initially I thought this was VisualHub, so I did a test conversion in Handbrake to find it hang in the same place. I then decided, I'd re-export my video from FCP as something must be wrong with the original export mp4 file. I exported from FCP again and tried VisualHub again, again hangs at the same time. I then inspected the video file and pinpointed the spot where VH stops converting, except it plays fine from the original exported mp4. I then checked in FCP to see if perhaps there was something in the timeline to cause this hitch, again no sign of trouble. I tried various formats for converting and the same thing happens over and over.
To make a very long story short, does anyone know why a video file would be hanging VH and any other program that tries to convert it in the same spot? Can anyone suggest a quick/easy workflow for FCP to DVD format. I'm working on my Macbook Pro so it's frustrating tying up my laptop for hours on end

I wasn't notified that there were replies to this so sorry for the delay. Thanks so much for the suggestions. The videos were captured with EyeTV; I'm pretty sure they have their own file type but not sure what actual encoding they use. At any rate, I can export to a variety of formats from there.
In my trials I had tried exporting both self-contained and not.. and while I usually didn't use Recompress All Frames, I did try it once and it didn't prove helpful.
I've tried compressor again and I got it to output, but I'm still trying to work out how to get it to come together in DVD-SP. I've used it before but never with separate audio & video files. I'd say I just need to sit down when I have some time to toy around.
As for option 2, I tried iDVD as my first option way way back when I started editing these but as the video files are fairly long, they weren't fitting on a standard dvd and as I don't have a dual-layer burner it wouldn't let me burn or save as a disc image, saying I needed to cut down the file which is not what I wanted to do. I did at one point try cutting the video in half, even then though the conversion process took 24+ hours which I'm not sure why.
Thanks for the suggestions. I know the MPEG-4 conversion makes no sense but it was sort of my last ditch effort to get something working. Quality of the video wasn't my main concern as it's already a low quality tv rip. Obviously I'd rather not make it worse, but I traded quality for expediency and it actually working.
Thanks again!

Trouble getting both audio and video out of 2009 MBP.

I had this working fine a few months ago, and then upgraded to a Pioneer elite stereo, now either audio or video work, but not simultaneously, even if I connect video to TV directly and audio to stereo directly, I can't get both to work it's either or. I've set the stereo to accept the optical input, and as I said above, it doesn't even work if I connect the audio to the stereo only while the video goes to the TV. Really seems to be a software issue, any ideas?

the receiver will need to be set so the tv is one of the optical inputs. so that is why you are only hearing one or the other. the tv expects to get sound from a different source other then your opical input.
on my jvc there is a setting where I tell the receiver. The tv sound is digital so it'll find the digital signal and associate it to the tv sound.
What is your exact model receiver I'm sure there is a PDF of the instructions online.

How to get a 29.97 video file into a 23.98 sequence without it being jumpy

I filmed on a miniDV tape and recorded in 24PA, and when i captured it in 'Advanced Pulldown', it still gave me a file that is in 29.97 fps. because of this, i get those horizontal lines every so many frames
I wanted it to be 24PA so that i could drop it into a timeline with other videos in the same fps.
so i create a sequence with all the right compressor settings and aspect ratio and all of that, but i change fps to 23.98.
Then i drop the video in the timeline. it asks if i want to change the settings of the sequence to match the video, but i click no, because if i say 'yes', it'll change the sequence back to 29.97
so i put it in there render it, and then i get a video that is really jumpy almost like it has some kinda strobe effect on the video.
does anyone know how i could fix this problem??!

Are you sure you shot 24pA? And not just regular old 24p?
Just dropping it in the timeline will not work..that is NOT the way to get it to 23.98. Try using Cinema Tools, or even FCP in the TOOLS menu, the REVERSE TELECINE option.

Converting Premiere Movie to a DVD without Encore

I finished my movie and cannot seem to find a way to get this burned successfully to a DVD. Encore did not download with my month purchase of premiere pro cc and when I open the creative cloud there is not additional options to download encore. I have tried exporting the media to a MPEG-2 DVD file however, windows media player cannot seem to open that file and I have not been able to successfully burn it to a disc. I just want to burn my movie to a DVD to play on the television - please help!

Another way is to go to
https://creative.adobe.com/products/premiere
and click on the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 in the dropdown shown in the attached image.
Then use the upper right link to download PrPro CS6, which should include Encore.

How do I copy video into iDVD to burn a DVD w/o using iMOVIE?

Aloha from Hawaii! I want to make a DVD copy of the video tape on my Sony digital 8 camcorder. I initally tried using iMovie but the timeline could not hold the whole tape.
I am trying to copy a pile of old family tapes. I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies.
Thanks

Hi theburlaon and welcome!
I initally tried using iMovie but the timeline could not hold the whole tape
Did you try to import the entire tape as one huge clip? Better to set it to, say, 5 minute clips.
I want a single DVD of each tape so later (when I have the time) I could reimport them and make home movies
Bad idea IMO. DVD is the final delivery format, not intended for editing. Converting back from mpeg2 (DVD format) to DV format (what iMovie likes) will result in a substantial quality loss.
Just hang on to the tapes until you are ready to do the job properly, via iMovie and iDVD.

Iam getting the following message when i try and burn a dvd using my mac The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

Unfortunately your drive has *probably* failed. You can try a cleaning disc, sometimes thst can help. First though try resetting the smc and pram.
To reset the smc on Desktop Macs
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Hi Steve,
After reading everybody’s responses I am feeling a little out of my depth. Being new to this I am having difficulty in understanding a lot of the information given to me and also in the information you require from me. It appears that one thing I should never do is mix film from two different cameras. I would really like to fix this one particular clip though as it holds an interview that was taken when leaving Coober Pedy and something that I don’t want to lose.
I have today done some research on the camera that took the offending video clip. It was a Samsung S85 and according to the Samsung website it uses MJPEG video format.

I downloaded and installed Media Info and Morgan Multimedia MJPEG Codec V3.99.108 today. Do I have to register it to get it to operate? I read the documentation file that came with it hoping to find a clue as what I should do but I could not comprehend the information it contained.
Thank you and other members who have responded to my plea for all the help you have given me.

After editing video how do I get instructions how to burn to DVD?

You post with the generalized question regarding where to find instructions for the Premiere Elements burn to DVD. You were given those.
Now you write (with no in between message)
I need specific answers or no other suggestions.
I fully understand that and appreciate that. That is why I make it a point to customize my reply to the specific question being ask or to the
details of "what is not working". Where do I find your specific question and details in this thread so far?
So, to get to the specifics, just what is your specific burn to DVD issue that is causing to you write. There are many points along there way
where you may be stuck in the process.
If you read my question you can see where I’m stuck now
What are you doing when you get stuck. Telling me burning to DVD is not going to help.
1. Do you know that after you edit your Timeline in the Edit area, you either go to Tools/Movie Menus or straight to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc?
2. If so, how far do you get? Is it that you do not know the path or that you get hit with a program crash or any error message in the Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc task? Is that where we are non communicating, distinguishing between the two?
I am prepared to give you right on answers if you can zero in on your question and details.
I want you to succeed. So, please help me to help you.
All I see from you so far is

Problem getting HD video to play properly on standard DVD - dropping frames

Maybe someone can tell me the proper workflow I should be using here, but for the life of me can not get my beautiful HD video to play properly on standard DVD's. Footage looks choppy, ie dropping frames.
1.) I've tried editing in iMovie 08', exporting to a 720P Quicktime file (original is 1080p), then loading into iDVD as well as Toast 8. Both play in my standard DVD player like crap (almost like a strobe light is being applied).
2.) I have also loaded the source footage into Toast 8 directly and it also looks choppy.
My source are .mov files loaded from my Panasonic HDC-SD5 into iMovie 08 for editing.
If anyone can tell me what kind of a workflow I need to do in order to get my video onto a standard dvd and play properly, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks
Paul

Hello ipaw,
I think the problem here is a format mixup (I'm no codec pro though)
+1.) I've tried editing in iMovie 08', exporting to a 720P Quicktime file (original is 1080p), then loading into iDVD as well as Toast 8. Both play in my standard DVD player like crap (almost like a strobe light is being applied).+
From what I know AVCHD (the recording format of the HDC-SD5) can be either 1080i or 720p, so my guess is that you shot and edited in 1080i then exported to 720p. The p stands for progressive and, IMHO, that is where the strobe effect comes from.
To go from an interlaced format to progressive (p) you'll need to de-interlace, and that needs some smart software (and skill to find the right settings). On top of that, your source is a highly compressed flavor of MPEG-4, which you're converting to progressive HD.
Why not edit in AVCHD and send the project directly to iDVD?
hope this helps

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.
