Video breaking up on DVD

I recently upgraded from FCP4 to 6 and just getting used to some subtle differences.
I am working on a project that is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Some sequences have more action and graphics than others so I export using compressor using different bit rates for different sections.
One section that I export using the 150 minute in compressor there is just one short segment where the video breaks up. It is breaking up in DVDSP simulator as well as on a dvd player after the dvd is burned. The video looks great in FCP but does not break up until after compression.
Any ideas???
thanks

OK, this issue is still occurring sporadically. Let me explain in more detail the issue.
The projects that I am working on are wedding DVDs.
One sequence is simply the live ceremony which is just the actual ceremony. The groom is mic'd as is the priest. I use one or the other audio track. There is nothing more in the timeline than the footage I captured in FCP6 using the default NTSC settings. This sequence exports fine using compressor.
The other sequence that I am having the problems with is the "highlights" sequence. This sequence has all the cheesy slo mo and music added. I copy and paste the audio and video of the vows from the "live ceremony" sequence. I go down with the music that is on audio track 2 so the vows are audible. This entire sequence uses slo mo except for the vows when the video is of course at 100%. After compression the video during the vows flickers and breaks up. This is verified by seeing the video in DVDSP as well as quick time player so the problem definitely is happening during compressor. The rest of the "highlights" looks fine. This has happened 3 times out of 7 projects. I have been able to correct the problem by exporting the vows as an aif file and then import it back in and use it in the timeline instead of the captured audio. Then I compress the sequence and the video looks fine.
Is it possible that the audio is somehow messing up the video???

  • Importing Video From Home Movie DVD

    I have home movies burnt onto a DVD from the original VHS Tapes, and want to edit the the using IMovieHD 6, but when attempting to import, I get an error message that says, "The File could not be imported". Quicktime was unable to parse it.
    According to what I read, IMovie should be compatible with Mpeg-4 Files.
    I've even tried to create Mpeg-4 files from the original video files off the DVD. Still no dice.

    Hi Robio:
    Welcome to discussions!
    Don't suppose you have the original DV tape-do you? If so, that's your best bet for editing..
    With that said, if you decide you need to use the DVD, then you will need to convert that DVD into something that imovie can use. (Thus, there is a possiblitlity of loss if quality..)

  • On a new Mac how to transfer video from an external DVD to an external hard rive

    I want to transfer my family videos from an external DVD player attached to my new mac to an external hard drive for back up purposes.  What do I do?  Thanks.

    It is an external DVD drive connected by USB.
    Then you can copy your DVDs using Disk Utility.
    Insert your DVD in the drive.  If DVD player opens, close it.  Then open Disk Utility.  (Disk Utility comes with all Macs; it's located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
    In Disk Utlity, select your DVD disk in the pane on the left side.  Then do File > New Disk Image from (title of your DVD disk).
    Then give a name to the copy you are about to create and select a save location.
    In "Image Format" select DVD/CD Master  (very important!)
    Set encryption as NONE  (also very important!)
    Then Save
    This will create a disk image file on your hard drive.  It's a duplicate of your DVD.  You can burn this image to other DVD media and/or play it on your computer same as if it were an actual DVD disk.
    Note: this will not work with commercial DVDs due to their copy protection.

  • Can not upload video clips from mini dvd

    When I try to upload video clips from mini DVD recorded on Sony Handycam it stats the files are read only.  I have tried finalized and un-finalized clips.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Although what I posted in my post numbered 2 is interesting and useful information in the Premiere Elements ripping of VOBs from DVD-VIDEO, it is not answering your issue regarding a "read only" issue and did not target your specific "read only" message. Sorry about that.
    The VOBs are typically read only files on the disc.
    I have never run into a "read only" issue with regard to the Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Add Media/"DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive"/Video Importer. For that matter, not with any version of Premiere Elements with this particular feature.
    When are you getting this message.
    a. When you click on DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive after Get Media
    b. When you click on Get Media in the Video Importer or other
    Do you ever get a thumbnail for the VTS_01_1.VOB in the Video Importer? Is your burner drive recognized in the Source field of the Video Importer?
    If you open and explore the DVD disc, go to the VTS_01_1.VOB in the VIDEO-TS Folder, go to the VOB's properties, can you remove
    the mark next to "read only" and then have the Video Importer route work for you?
    Also, if you copy the  VTS_01_1.VOB from the opened DVD disc and paste it to the computer desktop and remove the "read only" marking, can you then import
    the VTS_01_1.VOB into Premiere Elements with its Get Media/Files and Folders?

  • Exporting audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd

    Hi, I'm trying to export audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd.. I changed  multiplexing to DVD but is still exporting seperately is there something im missing? thanksa

    To add, with Multiplexing set to NONE, check what the Audio format is set to. If "PCM", this is an uncompressed .wav file and will result in export of .m2v video and .wav audio (I think Mac uses .aif) and use "Import as Timeline" in Encore for both clips at once. Encore will automatically transcode the audio to Dolby AC-3, do NOT mess with settings in Encore, defaults are correct. If you have CS6, then in AME audio settings, there is an option for Dolby and you can use that to create the .ac3 audio and then Encore does NOT do any transcoding to audio or video. Note that older versions will also show "Dolby" but that is a free trial of a surround encoder, not the same. You just want the stereo option available in CS6, or use PCM option is fine

  • Grainy pics in video after burning to dvd

    I bought a new computer and now have windows 8. I bought a new premere Elements 11 because my version 9 didn't work. In the past I have done a lot of videos with slide shows and videos on the same dvd. I tryed doing the pictures in organizer and the pics didn't fit. Then when I selected frame fit in video the pictures got very grainy. I then looked into it and it said not to have the frame fit checked so I unchecked it. Then the pictures did not fin in the frame of the video. So then I tryed doing the slide part of the show in Movie maker and save it and re insert it. It looks terrible. I have don't this for years i movie maker and my old elements and the videos with the slide shows looked great once I burned them to a dvd. I don't know where to go to find out how to do this. The slide show looks great on the computer screen but once you burn to a dvd it looks so pixilated and grainy. Help

    t us begin.
    Given you have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit.
    1. What video, photos, music are going into this project and how do you intend to export your edited content for others to view it....to a file save on your computer hard drive for play back with a computer player or burn to disc DVD, AVCHD, or Blu-ray?
    I have several different pictures all jpegs and videos from different cameras all different sizes. I have figured out how to resize thepictures in the CS3 bridge program. I burn them to DVDs for dvd players
    We need to know this information so that we can set up the project correctly.
    a. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos and how many of them are there? Are these in jpg, .psd, tif, raw, formats.
    all different but I did resize them
    b. What are your video properties...video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, aspect ratio 4:3 or 16:9, file extension. If you do not know, you can get that information from a properties readout from the free MediaInfo (tree view)
    http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
    this I don't understand and will look at the above link as you suggested
    or, if you give me the name of the camera that these videos came from and the setting that you used, I will try to figure out your video properties.
    I have cannon camcorder and other videos from friends which I am not sure so I will look at the above link
    c. Are you going to use narration, soundtrack in your project.?
    yes I add music and some are tracks from audasity that I cut from other videos and some are MP3s and some WMA
    Premiere Elements 11 takes over the role of setting the project preset for a project. Sometimes it does it OK, sometimes not. That project preset setting directs the program to set the correct space in the Edit Mode Monitor for your particular video. So, you can see how video properties and project preset settings are so important to setting up the project.
    I have issues trying to edit video because it jumps and the sound continues but the video portion stops so that makes it so difficult to try and edit clips
    Please indicate if you wish to proceed:
    a. Create an Elements Organizer 11 slideshow and transfer it to Premiere Elements 11 for completion
    or
    b. Use only Premiere Elements 11 workspace to create, edit, and export the project.
    Let us start here and expand into a more detailed step by step based on your answers to all of the above.
    Along the way, please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Elements 12 - Video quality of downloaded DVD in editing software

    Why is the video quality imported from a 1.4 GB mini disc into the Premiere 12 software worse then when I just watch it directly on my computer?  It seems like there is a big step down in quality after I download it to edit in the software program.  Why is this?  Is there something I can do to maintain the quality of the original?

    Beaver Dan
    Thanks for all the helpful details.
    Here is what I would like you to do.
    Open Premiere Elements 12.
    Go to File Menu/New/Project and, in the new project dialog, set the project preset to either NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen (depends on if you recorded 4:3 or 16:9). Before you leave the new project dialog, put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". Close out of there.
    Back in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace, go to Add Media/"DVD camera or computer drive"/Video Importer. You will need to have you miniDVD in the drive tray. Will your burner tray accept the miniDVD for place in tray? Most do.
    In the VIdeo Importer dialog that is opened, go to the Source: field at the top of the dialog and make sure that you DVD drive is selected there.
    Your Video Importer should be populated with thumbnails. Uncheck all. Select the video files from the DVD-VIDEO. The names should be VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on depending on how long this DVD-VIDEO is.
    Make sure that you have the Save In: field set to a named folder for this batch of VOBs. If you want the VOBs on the Timeline of the project as well as saved to the hard drive, make sure you have a check mark next to Add to Timeline. Then hit Get Media to get your VOBs into the project.
    Do the Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc export with the NTSC Dolby DVD or NTSC_Widescreen Dolby DVD preset.
    Play back the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using your computer and one of its players for that purpose as well as the TV and its DVD player. Let us know the results.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    Thanks.

    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!

    if these episodes are in flash format, you can convert them
    to video
    format and burn dvd easily. i always do in such a way, using
    the
    program i have- Flash to Video Encoder PRO (it's on
    geovid.com), it
    burns dvd after conversion just in one click!

  • Copying unedited video from tape to DVD

    I have some video on miniDV tape, and want to give a copy of the video to someone on DVD. What's the best way to do this? I want to leave the video in a format that they can easily do whatever they want with it: edit it, put some of it on their web site, whatever, even if they use a PC. Keeping the footage completely unprocessed would be ideal.
    Any suggestions? Normally I import my videos straight into iMovie 8, but I doubt that's the way to do this.
    DanK

    Putting the video on a DVD is the worst way to give it to your friend, if their intention is to edit it. DVD's are end products, not intended for editing and jumping through some hoops to do so will only degrade the video quality.
    If they have a miniDV cam as well, make them a copy of the video and send them the tape, but first, you will need to get iMovie HD6, which is a free download for users of iLife 08. That is to enable you to export your video back to your cam. iMovie 08 doesn't allow it.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    Capture your video into HD6, put the clip(s) in the timeline and then export the movie back to a new tape. The video on the new tape will be one long clip though, not broken up into clips, as you may have on the original tape.
    Does that work for you? I don't see other options.

  • Burn HD Video to a Normal DVD

    Hi All,
    I Wish to know that how to burn the HD Video to a normal DVD to playback the video on a normal dvd player? Thanks.

    As Shane Says...
    Compressor should automatically determine the aspect ratio...
    If you go in and change the mpeg quality settings to be higher, you'll probably have issues on DVD playback (your DVD play will choke)
    When you go to make your DVD, set the aspect ratio to 16:9. here is a tutorial on how to do that: http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/16-9_dvdsp_setup_stone.html
