Want to output video for iPod - with subtitles set in DVDSP

Ok, now that the DVD is done, I would like to make some downloadable tracks that would be optimized for iPod (640x480). I can easily export the tracks from Final Cut Pro using compressor, but then I don't get the subtitles.
Is there a clever way to
- get the subtitles I have in the DVDSP project back to Final Cut OR
- import the .STL files into Final Cut OR
- export to iPod from DVDSP with only one of three subtitle streams?

There is now a new discussion on this same subject here on the DVDSP forum (dvdsp3 subtitles -> .mov/.mp4), and so far, the only solution seems to be ripping the DVD with Handbrake.
It's a shame there's neither an easy subtitling solution in Final Cut nor an export option in DVDSP.

    Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

    Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
    Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • The best output device for iPod?

    Hallo Everybody,
    Somedays ago I have seen an heard the T+A Caruso(http://www.taelektroakustik.de/deu/ta2/caruso/caruso.htm). This was it! Yes! Internetradio, CD and iPod in a perfect Combination of Sound! - and then the cold shower - 1700 Euro not $!
    Who know a ultimative solution under this price?
    DENON S52 is it not! no sound calibration!

    You can connect an iPod to any sound system. So the best "output device for iPod" is the same as the +best output device, period.+
    I'm told you get better sound (for the purpose of feeding into a sound system) if you connect the audio output through the docking connector, instead of from the headphone jack. You get +line level audio out+ like with other audio system components.
    You can do so if you have a Docking Station device with a stereo jack, or if you get a cable like this one.
    [Example of cable with docking connector and mini-stereo jack|http://www.restockit.com/Cables-To-Go-IPod-Audio-Cable-Apple-Dock-Connecto r-Mini-phone-Stereo-3-5-Mm-M-White-(73679B).html?source=froogle&Bvar5=100F1&Bvar 6=100F1&Bvar7=100F1]

    i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

    Julia,
    You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
    Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

    Hello. I'm already registered in iTunes and want to have a second iPod (with a separate email-adress) being capable of iMessage. What do I have to do?

    You can use the same iTunes account on both iPod.  To allow Messags betwen the two, one one iPod go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and add another email address and delete the iTunes account email address.
    If that is not what you want plase explain better what you want to obtain.

  • Tutorial: Converting Video for iPod (Read BEFORE You Post)

    Since 1/2 the bandwidth is about the same question - how to convert (Filetype X) to iPod video (MPEG-4 or H264) - here is the simplest and FREE method using one piece of FREE software and the ability to do a bunch at a time in a batch process.
    -------------------MPEG-4 CONVERSION FOR IPOD----------
    Start with a muxed file, e.g. MPEG-1 or 2. I am starting with an MPEG-1 music video clip. Update: MPEG Streamclip 1.5 now accepts almost all video clips, AVI (with the right DIvX or 3ivX codecs installed) and QT. So open whatever you have in Streamclip and follow these steps:
    Open in Streamclip
    Select File Export to QT (or new setting: File Export to MPEG4)
    Big window opens. Select the codec from the top pulldown- Apple MPEG-4 Compressor
    Select 40% quality (this lowers the bit rate and makes the file smaller and conform - at 80% the file is 120MB vs. 10 MB at 40%) as you don't want huge files.
    Under Sound Select AAC audio codec and 128 kbps
    Under frame size pick 320X240
    Click Make Movie and where it will go of course.
    On my G5 a 3'46" MPEG-1 music video was converted to a 10.1 MB mov MPEG-4 file in about 25 seconds. With a single G4 that might be 3 minutes. Bitrate is: 370 kbps video and looks fine at the actual size in QT and will look OK on the similarly tiny iPod screen. I was quite impressed by quality for such a small movie. I could goose it up to 50% or 60% to see how bit it gets but it looks good at 40% There may be a sizeable increase in size per 10% increase so before btach processing 100 try one at 40 or 50%.
    -----------IF YOU MUST HAVE H264------------
    Open MPEG file in Streamclip: Select the (new) Export to H264 setting that doesn't crash like 1.3.1 did - or you can use these steps and see which is faster if at all. Which allow you to use the preset in QT Pro to export to iPod format (which is H264 and takes a long time).
    Select Apple Animation as the codec for Compression at 100% quality
    Same sound setting as above
    Pick the frame size that says (Unscaled) next to it such as
    352X240 is common for MPEG-1 videos.
    Make Movie - this results a huge file. But you can get rid of it later.
    Open that huge file in QT Pro.
    Do file export and pick the preset at the bottom that is "Movie to iPod"
    It will figure out the settings. It may (it will)take a while but you get a M4V file in H264. My clip done this way took about 40 seconds to the Animation step and about 10 minutes for the QT to H264 step.
    --------------------BATCH PROCESSING-------------
    Select the batch list - it opens, you add files as many as you like, select convert to Quicktime, then follow the step above once, select the destination directory and then start and it will do one after another in sequence. Note the preview window that opens is the actual post-processed file and you can see at roughly iPod size how it looks in real time or as fast as you can process anyway.

    H.264 is going to be slow. No doubt about that. It's still a new codec so it's expected to take a while to compress versus MPEG-4.
    I remembered when MP3 was still new ... my 233 MHz P2 machine was just chugging along.
    When Ogg Vorbis came along, I would expect the encoding time to be somewhat slower. I was right to a point but that was when I have yet to own a computer that's 1 GHz.
    The same deal with compression schemes. For instance, I have found RAR, StuffItX, and 7zip to take it's sweet time, if using the highest settings, compared to ZIP on max compression.
    I expected no different with H.264, albeit the encoding time is a bigger difference compared to, say MP3 vs Ogg, but I have learned that when new codecs and compression schemes come by, I expect them to take longer than what I've been accustomed to as I used different machines. It's either that or I buy a faster computer. For the record, it takes me between 2.5~4 hours to convert a 24 minute video to H.264 using my iBook listed below, depending on the complexity of the video.
    The quality of H.264 is rather nice for 320x240, sometimes even better than MPEG-4 using the same bitrate and resolution setting, but the output filesize is sometimes smaller than the H.264 cousin because it compresses rather well.
    However, let me tell you that I'm rather spoiled when it comes to certain technologies. If the iPod says that it supports 2.5 Mbps MPEG-4, I'll use that setting first and then compare the visual quality of a 768 kbps H.264 file. Most of the time though, the DVDs I've encoded doesn't even come near 2.5 Mbps. It's more like 500~1500 kbps.
    Personally, I usually stick at 100% quality and use the Limit Data Rate feature. It's just that I get annoyed even by the smallest artifacts on portable video and the less artifacts I see, the less annoyed I get.
    Just thought I'd share my 2 cents.

  • Encoding H.264 @ 640 x 480 for iPod with Avidemux?

    Hi All,
    I'm new to this forum, so please be gentle!
    QuickTime/iTunes don't support XviD decoding on Windows, meaning I need to use a third-party tool for encoding my XviD videos to iPod. I am hoping that somebody on this forum has experience with H.264 iPod encodes to contribute towards getting mine working.
    I've been using Avidemux 2.5.1 on Windows XP SP3 for other work very successfully and on paper it certainly seems capable of creating 640x480 H.264 encodes for my iPod.
    The iPod does play 640x480 MPEG-4 ASP (XviD) and 320x240 MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) encodes, both made by Avidemux. It also plays sample Apple files converted to 640x480 H.264 by iTunes (I've checked their format).
    However, for the life of me I haven't been able to create a compliant 640x480 H.264 encode with Avidemux. No matter what options I've turned off and/or tuned down and no matter how low I've taken the bitrate, no 640x480 H.264 encode has worked so far with Avidemux.
    My iPod's specs are at http://support.apple.com/kb/SP26 and I suspect that the "Low-Complexity" Baseline Profile is at the heart of my problems (potentially also the AAC-LC audio, although I guess then my other successful encodes with Avidemux/AAC wouldn't have worked either?). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264 only mentions a Constrained Baseline Profile, and I'm not sure whether that's the same thing as the "Low-Complexity" mentioned in the above iPod spec.
    Has anybody succeeded in making iPod-compliant 640x480 H.264 encodes with Avidemux, and if so, may I please have the X264 encoder settings for Avidemux 2.5.1 from you?
    Many thanks,
    Francois

    I'd like to report that our problem has been solved! What I had not seen before was the setting in QT to use the "Baseline" setting. That made all the difference.
    For others, the setting can only be found by doing the following:
    Use the Movie to MPEG-4 setting
    File format: MP4
    Video format: H.264
    This will give a "Video Option" button. Change to "Baseline"
    That's the key. After that, any settings can be used, such as data rate, frame rate, etc.
    Here's what I now use:
    (Under the Video Options button) Restrict Profile to Baseline
    Encoding mode: Best quality (multi-pass)
    Video format: H.264
    Data rate: 75 kbps
    Optimized for download
    Image size 320x240 QVGA
    Frame Rate: 15fps
    Key frame automatic
    Audio: AAC-LC
    Data rate: 48
    Channels: Mono
    Output Sample rate: 44.100
    Encoding Quality: Best
    I want to thank all those who gave us input both here and in other discussions!

  • Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

    Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
    In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
    I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
    I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
    Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
    Thanks in advance,
    BoBo

    Hi Michel (Bonjour)
    Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
    I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
    With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
    I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
    I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
    I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
    A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
    Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
    Once again, Thanks in advance
