Video before Menu skips

Hey guys,
I'm trying to finish a DVD in Studio Pro 3. I've more or less got the hang of the program.
When the DVD starts, I want to have a quick 5 second graphic of my company logo fade in and fade out, then go to the menu. Easy enough.
But, for some reason, the intro video stutters and skips a few times. I've tried re-exporting the clip from FCP and have made an entirely new clip in FCP and exported it, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The video clip has a jerky motion to it no matter what. I've tried everything I can think of to overt this but nothing seems to do the trick. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
pat

FCP will not set the Max Rate, what you should do is export the movie as self contained and then use Compressor (sending it from FCP to Compressor is another option, but self contained seems to work better andd quicker.)
The 2 hour version may (not sure if it does, do not have settings) drop the Max Rate but it would drop thee average rate.
What you should do is check the settings by double clicking the preset in the preset window.
What you can do is also "make your own".
Take a look at this movie here
http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/qc.php
to see how you can make your own settings - note the AC3 settings in particular for items that you should check/uncheck.
The m2v section (which is actually first) just shows how the controls work in general and do not mean they have to be your actual settings.

  • Short video before menu

    I'm putting together a video with a client. He wants to have a short segment of the video play immediately as the DVD starts right before the menu, probably less than 20 seconds. I could only figure how to have video playing on the menu screen not before. I'm sure this is possible I just can't figure out how...
    Any help?

    You can make the intro as a trck and make it first play, but I usually prefer to build the intro onto the front of the main menu. This way I can have seamless audio and video with no pause when it resolves to the main menu. Set the loop point on the menu to delay the appearance of the buttons until the background resolves.
    Even slicker is to make two versions of your menu, one with intro and one without. You can make custom audio for the one without so this can loop cleanly, and the intro can still have continuous audio through the first play through of the Intro_main menu.
    Hope this makes sense...

  • Online Video Playback Jolting/skipping

    Sorry if i've posted in the wrong sub-forum, I will move elsewhere if necessary.
    My problem is with online video playback, whether on youtube, vimeo, facebook or myspace, it's always the same problem.
    The video, even when fully buffered jolts, or skips, the sounds is usually ok [not for vimeo. The video literally stops and starts every 1-3 seconds repeatedly. This makes watching some videos very irritating and i have no clue to avoid it. I've researched it and found nothing.
    I use the latest Firefox [3.0.5], and it doesn't seem to be as bad with Safari

    I'm afraid this is the wrong sub-forum, but never mind!
    It sounds very much like a line speed problem. Even when "fully buffered", the buffers can empty distressingly fast, leaving your playback hiccuping.
    There are three approaches that I know of:
    1) Have a go at your ISP/telecoms company, and get them to check the line, the ADSL gear, and the speed of your connection (try also with Speedtest or a similar service).
    2) Try resetting/restarting your modem and/or router.
    3) If nothing can be done to improve the situation, download your videos before watching them (e.g. using RealPlayer Download Manager, or by ctrl-clicking and choosing Download Linked File.
    Good luck!

  • Submenu video before showing buttons

    Is this possible?
    I want so when the person selects a submenu, it will show a video before showing the buttons contained within that menu. For instance, say I select "Extra Scenes" frm the top menu. Before it shows the buttons for all the extra scenes movies, an intro movie shows.
    thanks

    I think you are stuck with looping on menus.
    Of course you could always make a pretty long menu with a "still" and the end and no sound, so it would seem like it stopped for quite awhile......

  • Apple Headphones causing iPad video to freeze/skip?

    I have been using the apple headphones with my ipad that came with my iphone 3GS, the ones with the mic and volume control on them.
    However, recently when watching video with this headset plugged in the video randomly freezes, skips, stops and jumps to other chapters.
    Since these headphones have the ability to do all this by double/triple clicking, etc, I'm assuming the headphones are somehow inadvertently sending these signals to the ipad, because when I don't have them plugged in (or use older versions of the apple headphones) I don't have the same issue.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and do you think it is an issue just with the headphones or could it be with the ipad itself?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It is really good to hear that I'm not the only one!
    However, I'd really love to know if this is an issue with the iPad or the headphones before I consider buying a new pair of headphones. I like the ability to pause/skip/etc with the headphones, but if that feature comes with the price of random skipping/freezing/etc, then its obviously not worth it!
    Anyone else having this issue? Should I be buying new headphones or returning my iPad?

  • Do I need to compress video before importing into DVD SP?

    Hello,
    this is probably stupid question, but I would like to know, if I need to compress my video before I import it into DVD SP as an asset. It looks like everyone use Compressor before importing into DVD SP, (setting up number of passes, bit rates and so on), and then they do it again when setting up preferences in DVD SP. (setting 1 pass or 2passes, bit rate values)
    So is not the video actually compressed twice? Once in Compressor and once in DVD SP?
    And also, what video formats are actually OK to import into DVD SP? (QT, AVI, FCP movie, etc)
    Does DVD SP take them all, or does it only have to be QT?
    Thank you and I appologize for these novice questions.

    m2v will not be recompressed when placed on tracks (though in some instances it may recompress on menus.) Ultimately it is better to compress outside of DVD SP for control of encodes (and making AC3 files) and also some formats may not be supported by importing into DVD SP directly.

  • Playback of DVD Studio Pro 4 built SD video file - Menu 1 screen is WHITE!!

    I recently upgraded from FCP 4.5 with DVD Studio Pro 3 to FCS with DVD Studio 4. I have resolved a number of problems with the upgrade by reading "Apply Discussions", however, I need help with the following: When I import my mpeg2 and AC3 files into DVD SP4, I use the DVD SP4 palette to select an Apple Template for my MENU 1. (I like the "Theater Interior" menu template.) When I view the final product with the DVD SP4 simulator, everything is great including the colors in MENU 1. So, I build my program onto my desktop, the same way I did when I had DVD SP3. Now, the problem begins. When I view the built video TS file on my G5 Apple DVD player, or format it to a standard DVD-R with my pioneer 106D burner and play it back on my in-house DVD player, when the program MENU 1 is displayed on the monitor, it is WHITE in color. The menu is set to times out in 20 seconds. Once that happens, the programs runs perfectly. However, what's with the white menu screen? I can barely make out the buttons. When I click on a button, it operates and the color and program work perfectly from that point. I there an option to get rid of the white screen when the menu comes up? Somehow, when DVD SP4 builds the video file, MENU 1 is encoding with a white background rather than with the colors of the Apple template in use. This did not happen with DVD SP3. Can you help me?

    try switching the menu encoding from software to hardware (or vice versa) in your DVDSP preferences and see if that makes a difference for you.

  • Video and audio skipping in PowerDVD 8

    Hi,
    I have an issue when I try to play DVD's in PowerDVD 8. Exactly every 5 seconds the video and audio skip, or jump/become choppy and I cannot watch a movie. I have been researching and trying to figure out what is happening but have no idea. Could it be the X-fi I have installed the latest beta drivers to no avail.
    Anybody have this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it's I have updated all drivers/firmware for everything and still can't make it go, sigh.
    I have the following specs:
    Intel x38BT mobo
    X-Fi Fatalitly champ.
    4GB DDR3 RAM
    9800 GTX
    ASUS 8x dvd-rom
    E8500 CPU
    Win Vista 32-bit
    Thanks

    Try this utility:

    and post results.
    Gigabyte Boards at least with x48 chipset have an audio latency bug that is only fixed via a beta bios update. I have no idea if this also might affect your board...

  • Flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down, what would cause this?

    After installing Firefox 4, all flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down. I have removed and reinstalled the flash plug in to no avail. This does not affect the playback, just the border of the video or menu box. Other browsers do not do this. Just wondering why this happens?

    OK, solved the problem...
    I '''''DELETED''''' the file LOCALSTORE.RDF with FF closed. Restarted and everything was back to normal.

  • Inserting photo in iMovie, becomes still frame of video before it.

    When I insert a photo into my iMovie it creates a still frame of the video before. Doesn't matter where in the clips I put it and I've tried dragging a photo in from Finder and using the iPhoto in the iMovie application. And, if I put a photo after a photo, the second photo becomes a still frame of the first photo. Help!

    just to make thing clear (sorry for sounding impudent!)
    you do .... :
    create a New Project
    make a selection of an Event and add it to the Project
    select a title and drag it onto the clip?
    iM does work with your OS ...

  • How to fix Flash Player buffering entire video before playing?

    I am using the most up to date version of flash (16.0.0.305), windows 7, and the problem persists across all browser (IE, firefox, chrome). Today all flash videos are buffering the entire video before playing and i can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I've gone through the entire troubleshooting from Video playback issues (i.e. clearing caches, re installing chrome, re-installing flash, etc.) and nothing seems to change it. Youtube and other premium streaming services (ex. netflix) work fine which suggests the streaming problem is specific to flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried uninstall and re install both Flash Player and Chrome it self but nothing changed.
    I also noticed that when i try to download something on chrome (this is the browser i use for everything), for example a movie trailer from Apple's trailer site (for example this movie trailer iTunes Movie Trailers) i right click and press Save As, it does nothing after that and after let's say some seconds the window pops up asking me where to save it, and i save it. That means that when i press "Save As" it does starts downloading in the background (like the first post in this thread states) and only wneh it finishes downloading the Chrome pop up window appear. When it should pop immediatelly asking me where to save it the moment i right click something and press Save As. At least that what i used to do before THIS whole problem started......
    Any thoughts...??????
    Please i am desperate...... 

  • How long can the iPhone 3GS record video before the battery runs out?

    My father invested in an iPhone 3GS Tripod adapter for his tripod, for some conferences and lectures. He has a 16GB 3GS, which will record about 8.6 hours, according to another thread I've read about on here. But he doesn't really want to bring the USB/Adapter cable with him, and have to worry about finding a power outlet. Assuming his phone is on full charge, and bluetooth/wifi are shut off, and brightness is kept a bit dim (not too dim) - can anyone give me a round about answer of how long the it will record video before the battery dies? This function is today, so timing is critical. I will have him take the charger/usb with extension cable just in case. I'd appreciate anyones input

    Not sure if the battery will die before or after your done recording on the iPhone.But most sites are claiming that you can record up to 2GB per video.I just recorded a one minute clip,and it rounded off to about 34MB.So if you devide that,it rounds off to around an hour of recording video...But take that with a grain of salt,I'm not good with math lol

  • Iphoto now jumps in and downloads videos that iflip video before anything can prevent it.

    Hi:
          Macbook crashed after 6 years and had to get new hard disk.  About the same time iFlip original stopped working.   Now, with new iFlipHD, and snow leopard, when ever I go to upload a video to the flipshare page, iphoto comes on and tries to download the items from the iFlip HD.   It took 3 videos before I knew it was on behind the flipshare window.   The videos are now, just single pictures with not sound or action.   I can't rush do a retake, it was a world away.
            How can I disable iphoto from stealing the videos I want to upload to Flipshare, a very easy way of sharing videos.

    I have the same question only my photos haven't disappeared.  They are still there. I delete them, but they are back when I reopen the app. I have deleted the plist file and it doesn't make any difference.

  • Do I have to backup photos and video before installing ios8?

    Do I have to backup photos and video before installing ios8?

    Back up your iPhone before installing iOS 8.  The backup will in include your camera roll.  It's fastest to back up to your computer using iTunes (connect the phone, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Back Up...choose to back up apps and transfer purchases if prompted).  Then you can restore your iTunes backup, which is faster since there's nothing to download.

  • How do I create Themes/Chapters in my video before burning to DVD so that Scenes can be selected when DVD is loaded to player?

    How do I create Themes/Chapters in my video before burning to DVD so that Scenes can be selected using on screen icons when DVD is loaded to player?

    "I don't know what you mean by this. There are no chapter markers in FCP." - you puzzle me by this! Yave You ever made some DVDees after editing in FCP 7? Every chapter in the timeline could be transfered to DVD Studio Pro, and then used in DVD navigation. This is very important feature, decause you don't have to lookfor some parts of your video while creating navigation! Less work - more joy! Another downscore of FCPX!
