Using video created on iDVD on video projector

I burned a video in iDVD that I had created in Final Cut Express. It played on my computer and on the TV. However, when I went to show it on a video projector there was no sound. SOmeone who was a sound engineer checked the set up and couldn't understand why there was a problem. We ended up placing a mike next to the speaker on the projector and that worked. Is there an incompatibility or do I need to burn it differently to work with a video projector.

do I need to burn it differently to work with a video projector.
No
What did you have connected to the video projector to play the DVD?
We ended up placing a mike next to the speaker on the projector and that worked.
That sounds like the projector WAS playing the audio.

  • What program was used to create the Firefox intro video? Really good!

    I downloaded Firefox for the first time and watched the overview video. It is very engaging - I'd like to know what programs were used to create it. Camtasia, Captivate, Flash for example.
    Thank you,

  • What to use to create a picture and video slideshow/presentation?

    I was curious as to what someone would use in order to create a picture and video presentation/slideshow?
    I think that iPhoto does a good job with getting all your pictures in order, and then using the templates and choosing your music to create a slideshow. However, if one wanted to include some video and narration into the slideshow, I imagine that they would need to use iMovie as well.
    I know that you can drop images into iMovie as well, and I think they are automatically given Ken Burns effect, but if you have a lot of images, I think it gets pretty tedious working with all those photos, when iPhoto will already do all of that for you.
    So, long story short. I would like to make a presentation with video and images. I would like to use multiple songs, and possible trim the amount of each particular song down, so there is some sort of mix/flow from one song to the other. I would also like to be able to record a narration and include it in the slideshow. I know that iMovie does a lot of that...I saw the narration feature, and the ability to trim the songs back some, and include more than one song. It also has the ability to choose only the portion of video that I want. So would you pre-create the photo portion of your slideshow in iPhoto, convert it to a movie, and dump it into iMovie? That seems clunky.
    What process would you use? In my mind, I picture using a program that had some sort of timeline in order to be able to fine tune the audio and video, and iMovie has a timeline of sorts.
    Currently running iLife '09.

    I've been working for the last three weeks on a project like the one you describe. It turns out to be far beyond my limited competence, but I'm committed and have to trudge on.
    Mine may be a little different from yours in that it has the equivalent of 106 "slides." There are twenty video. The "stills" are either text I've made in Word and saved to iPhoto as a pdf doc or photos. I've engaged actors to read the text that goes with most of still-slides. I thought I could create individual slides with the sound 'attached,' string them together and then make a movie out of the Power Point or Keynote slide show.
    Nothing has worked so far.
    iMovie has been a special heartbreaker. I've had at least a half-dozen chats with Apple Care and a couple of trips to an Apple Store to solve one challenge after another.
    I can help with  Ken Burns. Tedious is not a strong enough word, and the 'help' menu is not helpful, because it is Wrong., The controls are NOT the least bit intuitive. In fact, they make no sense - at least to me.
    [I gave up on iMovie the first time because of Ken and the absence of intelligible instructions to make him leave.]
    (1) Not finding the control. "Help" says to click on the crop icon on the tool bar (between mic and i) or to type "C". All I get is the crop function - Ken is nowhere to be seen.
    (2) Finding it. The crop icon that should have been designated is accessible when you select a still photo. The hand icon appears; on the left side there is column of three icons. On top is Crop; the middle is the duration for the still - the default default is "4 s" // the bottom icon is the gear. Click the gear; there are four rows of choices; click the one at the bottom  "cropping, Ken Burns & Rotation". At the top left corner there are three boxes "fit | crop | Ken Burns"// select "Fit" and Ken Burns is turned off. Why is "fit" is the opposite of "Ken Burns"? I don't know.
    Here's a warning and a sad tale. I spent about three days getting the first 64 still/videos/transitions and audio clips assembled the way I wanted them.The audio for 65 went in okay and it looked okay, but nothing would make it play. 66 was okay but not 67 or any subsequent attempt - although the videos after 67 were okay.
    During my final Apple Care conversation the diagnosis was: "corruption." Start over again with a new project!
    I could select, copy and paste the visuals in those three moves, but the audios had to go over one at a time. Since you can't have two projects going at the same time, I'd have to copy one audio clip from the old project, select the new project and wait for it to come up, make the paste, and then wait for the old project to come up.
    So watch out. I gave up on iMovie because the recreation of a new project would be so agonizing and with such a big project, I don't know how to avoid "corruption" for sure, and neither did the guy at Applecare.  I switched to iPhoto, but after a day I realize that it's audio capability requires a process as tedious as trying to redo the iMovie.
    Final Cut Pro is probably the right program but that's a whole other thing.

  • Flv video created with flash 8 video encoder

    anyone know why flv files that I've created using the flash 8
    video encoder don't seem to have any metadata in them? or maybe
    they do but they never kick off the NetStream.onMetadata event so I
    can't read it...
    Similarly if I use the 'import video' function of Flash Pro 8
    I get the same issue - yet FLV video created using Sorenson Squeeze
    works fine, so I'm fairly confident that my code is OK.
    Even more bizarrely, if I use the FLVPlayback component that
    ships with Flash 8, that seems to read in the metadata OK!
    argh!
    Just to confuse things even more, the flash help for
    NetStream.onMetadata says: "The Flash Video Exporter utility
    (version
    1.1 or greater) embeds a video's duration [...] into the
    video file itself."
    As far as I can tell I've got version 1.0 of the flash video
    encoder/exporter but I'm damned if I can find out where to get an
    update from...! Ever since CS3 came out it's been harder and harder
    to get hold of stuff about flash 8 on the Adobe site...

    well that's the thing - the metadata never traces out if the
    video was encoded with flash video encoder, but that code would
    work fine with video encoded with sorenson squeeze.
    think I have worked it out now though: in order to pause the
    video at start I am calling NetStream.seek(0) when I receive
    "NetStream.play.start".
    For some reason when I do this with flvs encoded using flash
    video encoder, it stops the onMetaData event from firing - but
    works fine with other flvs! weird... shall have to find another way
    of pausing the video at the start I guess.
    thanks for the reply though

  • Once iDVD has been used to create a DVD, how can I make another copy?

    This may be a rookie question, but because of my bad history with computers, I generally don't like to use too much of my hard drive. I have a lot of family videos in iMovie now, and I want to be able to make a DVD and delete the originals from my hard drive. I also want to be able to make another copy of the DVD later.
    Is there a way to do that with just the Mac or is something else needed...since it seems that I am essentially burning DVDs?

    If you do a 'Save As Disk Image' from within your iDVD project when you have finished it, you will be making a disk image file for that project. Disk image files are self-contained, thus all the media information is encoded into the disk image file. You can then safely delete all the photos, movies, music files that were used to create your iDVD project and still retain the ability to burn more DVDs of that project in the future.
    You use Disk Utility to burn more copies.
    I save disk image files for all of my iDVD projects and place those files on a large external hard drive.

  • Can I use a DRM-Protected Music video in my IDVD project.

    Can I download a DRM protected music video to a IDVD project and burn a DVD. The music video is not showing up in the media window in IDVD. Only ITunes Plus songs and videos, make it to the media window. I can't drag the video directly off ITunes. They say, I can burn a up to seven copy's of the DMR protected video/music, but how.. Thanks for any help.

    Didn't work, Window came up saying "Could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats. I was able to burn it to a DVD, it came up as a MPEG 4 file. Then I first went to the ITunes tool bar Preference>Advanced>importing>importing using>Aiff Encoder. Then tool bar again File> import. Music video imported another copy to ITunes library. Right mouse clicked second copy> convert selection to Aiff. Then "Could not convert" window came up.

  • New iPod Touch-want to load videos created using Final Cut Studio

    I'm unable to transfer movies I create on my Mac into the iPod Touch. I'm assuming all transfers to the iPod need to go through iTunes - is this correct?
    I created a video in Final Cut Pro, then compressed two versions of podcasts in Compressor.
    H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 320x320(QVGA)
    H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 640x640(QVGA)
    I then dragged them into iTunes library, thinking they would go into the Podcast folder, but instead they went to the Movie folder.
    I synced to the iPod, and they fail to transfer/load. I then selected "Create iPod or iPhone Version" from the iTunes "Advanced" menu in case there was some file issue, but was unsuccessful in dragging it to the Podcast folder.
    Does the iPod Touch sync up to all iTune's folders, or, is it limited to what's in the Podcast folder?
    Is there a utility that exists to verify the video files are of the correct format.
    Are there other steps I am missing?

    For anyone else in the same situation - videos created in Final Cut Pro and compressed using either of the Compressor settings will create podcasts that can be synced up and play on the iPod Touch,
    The problem was the "Sync Movies" setting - it was disabled. The challenge was finding the settings, and wouldn't have been an issue prior to release of version 3.0 software upgrade notice.
    The "Sync" settings were where I first looked, from within iTunes, but as I said, the device settings were being hidden by an "Apple commercial" for the version 3.0 software upgrade - once I clicked on "Remind Me Later" I was able to see the 8 tabbed configuration screen. I guess marketing trumps usability.

    I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

  • Use Videos Created in Photoshop within After Effects - Possible?

    Hello, newbie here. Can i use create video files in Photoshop CC and then import them in After Effects CC as video files?
    I create video files in Photoshop CC using Photoshop CC's timeline* and save the video project in Photoshop as TIFF or PSD.
    When i import these TIFFs oder PSDs to After Effects, they will only appear as still images, whatever settings i use on import (footage vs. layers). I don't see how to have the TIFFs or PSDs playing in After Effects as a video.
    Is it even possible to bring a video project from Photoshop to AE as video and not as a still image?
    I understand that the alternative would be to render the Photoshop video as MP4 and bring that MP4 into After Effects. I would prefer to avoid the MP4 route though.
    Thanks!

    Dave, thanks - i import now the PSD file as "Sequence" and as "Composition - Retain Layer Size" and then i click "Create new Composition from Selection".
    Then i get a timeline which shows the correct running time of the video created in Photoshop. All the layers and tracks are there. I also see either an image from the video or a black screen.
    But i cannot play it. I can't see different frames of the video - neither by dragging the timeline marker nor by clicking "Play/Pause".
    That's certainly an awkward newbie problem - seeing your video, but not able to even play it. But i even watched through the full length of three extremely detailed Adobe/Lynda video tutorials (on the official Adobe site) and didn't get closer to an answer why the video doesn't play in AE.
    I have to admit that on importing i get a Quicktime error message. I also studied the official Adobe page regarding that error message and didn't understand it. But i know that when i 'had* Quicktime installed previously, it ruined my system and my mood.
    So if you have any quick hint, that would be great. Thanks!

  • Trying to create a dvd with video and slides...need help

    I am trying to make a dvd that includes video from my sister's wedding but I would also like it to include slideshows that I have already created in iDVD. Her wedding video was taken in to a shop and put onto a DVD. I would like to take the video from that DVD and combine it with my slideshows so that everything is on one disc. Plus, the menus (or lack thereof) from the DVD the shop made are HORRIBLE. Can someone tell me how to do this?
    Also, if you could explain how to insert chapters into the video once I have it into iDVD that would be appreciated. They did not include these on the DVD from the shop so it's one long movie with no way of skipping ahead short of fast forwarding.
    Thank you very much for any input.
    Michael

    Hi, Michael,
    I did for my daughter's wedding what you are trying to do for your sister's. You can do it this simple way:
    I took her wedding DVD and copied some of it onto DV tape and imported that into iMovie where I edited it down to some clips I wanted to go with the still photos I already had.
    To copy the DVD footage, I just put the disk into our DVD player, connected my camcorder and recorded it. Yes, there was a slight loss of quality, but not very detectable in the final product. After all, I am not a professional wedding videographer and some of the stills were from inexpensive snapshot cameras.
    The final video still turned out well.
    I actually did another longer one, this time using the original DV footage from the wedding videographer--he let us have it because he took so long to make the DVD! The DVD I made from that is of course better quality, but not that much better that I would go to more trouble to get it.

  • I have created a movie in 16:9 format. I have created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I preview the movie that pane changes to 4:3 and burns the DVD as a 4:3 movie. How can I stop that, please I am in Snow Leopard, using FCE4.0.1?

    I am using Snow Leopard and have created a movie in 16:9 format (SD not HDV) I created a movie which stays in the 16:9 format in fcp file, .mov fiule and MP4 file. I created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I play the movie in the iDVD preview window the iDVD pane switches to 4:3 and it burns the DVD in 4:3. How can I stop this so I get a16:9 DVD. Thanks for any help offered

    Hi
    As I see this I see two parts
    • Howto go from FinalCut to iDVD
    • Howto set iDVD right
    In FinalCut Express (to 4) or Pro (to 6 - most probably 7 too)
    • One has to set Anamorphic in the Browser window - menu columns
    • Export as QuickTime movie .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION
    In iDVD there are TWO places to set - WideScreen
    - Start a NEW iDVD project - AND HERE SELECT WideScreen 16:9
    - in Project - select Projectinfo
    - now set WideScreen 16:9 - Here too
    This use to work for me.
    FOR FinalCut Pro-X - I have not a Clue - as I don't use it. SORRY
    BTW - There is a good practice to before BURNING the DVD do
    • Save as a DiskImage
    • Test this by using DVD-Player tool
    And if it is OK Size and All - then burn it by using
    • Disk Util tool
    • here set down burn speed to x4 or less (less burn errors = plays on more devices and better)
    • Not using Memorex or NoName etc cheap media - as they usually DO NOT WORK as Video-DVDs
    • I use Verbatim DVD-R as they play on more and even older DVD-players

  • 1minute video distortion with iDVD-anybody encounter this?

    I encountered a strange issue with a movie that I recently created in iDVD. Src was 1080i HD, downconverted to 720p and imported to iMHD, and then used within iDVD.
    At about 53 minutes in the video (total ~1hr 40 min DVD encoded using Prof setting), there is a strange video distortion created - difficult to describe, but looks like say a 100x100 pixel movie upscaled to 720x480 with big blotches of color all over.
    Src video imported to iDVD looks impeccable, and even if I recreated the DVD with diff src media at the 52minute mark, the distortion still shows up exactly for 1 minute around the 53 min (or 52.5 or 53.5 or 54 min) mark.
    Really bugs me, as iDVD otherwise seems to do an OK job with the downconversion of the HD src file.
    Anybody seen this odd behavior with iDVD? BTW, I burn to disc image, and both the image as well as the DVD show identical distortion at the same spot.

    Bengt,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try trashing the iDVD pref file and re-do the disc image. I've already had to trash the iMovie pref file several times due to another bug there - I seem to have hit some max limit on # of cutaways+PIP inserts and it doesn't allow me to add another cutaway/PIP -- but that will have to be a different thread!
    The file formats are the same throughout the movie - mixed HDV 1080i + AVCHD 1080i - and they are both downconverted to 720p using the native HD output format from iM09. All orig source and the 720p files look great without any artifacts. However, only the 1 min section as mentioned before has these really ugly blotchy artifacts when output from iDVD to 480i.
    Unfortunately, I got the same artifacts/distortion at about the same point in the movie even if I tried a different iDVD theme (same movie length) or tried the output to Vid-TS folders...:-( This seems to point to a bug in the internal conversion to VOB...
    I'll try your suggestion next - to trash iDVD pref and re-do the disc image again.
    Thanks!
