Hi.
I'm trying to put a four hour video on to one DVD. It was originally on one dvd so I must be able to put it back, right.
The reason it fitted on one disk is because it was in LP, or 336x256. But iDVD wants to change it into 720x576. Something that makes no sense, the quality isn't going to get any better, this is just a waste of space. But I can't seem to find a way to turn it down.Hi
Can't help with resolutions but just made a 3h DVD - NOT using iDVD but Roxio Toast™
a. In Toast I made a Video_TS folder
b. This I copied to DVD and selected Fit on One DVD disk
Result was better than I imagined.
With iDVD You need
• a more modern version of iDVD eg iDVD 09
• a DVD burner capably of burning Double Layer DVDs
• DL-DVDs
To me Roxio Toast™ was cheaper.

My user folder has suddenly disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it comes up as still being there with all its data. Can drag a duplicate copy from the find window back onto the hard drive but don't want two copies there with one of them hidden. Any suggestions anyone?
Did you update to 10.9.3?
If you did then update to iTunes 11.2.1.
That is the fix for that problem.

How to add two videos to one???
Hello there,
I making a program in which I can capture the video and save it to a file, suppose the file name is "foo".
O.K. now every time I run the program it overrites the previous one(video file).
So the problem is every time I run the program the video should be added to the previous one that is concatenated.
That there are 2 videos
1> one is stored on the disk already.
2> other one is which is live and is going to be captured.
Hope you can understand.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.Thanks Captfoss,

Compiling several Google Videos onto one DVD?
I would like to create a DVD composed of several movies I've downloaded off the internet. I converted these GVI movies to AVI, then to MOV format.
Here's the desired result: User inserts DVD into the player. A menu appears with a list of movies contained on the DVD. The user can select which movie to watch, etc..
Here's where I'm lost. The total size of these movies is less than 4 Gigs. Each is approx. 200 to 500 MB. When added up, the total content would be approx. 3 Gigs. However, when I add them to IDVD, the 'DVD capacity' is red (up to 15 gigs) and a message telling me 'the content exceeds the maximum content duration' appears.
Are there any solutions to this problem? I've tried using IMovie to compress these movies to a smaller size but the error persists.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks for your help.I've tried using IMovie to compress these movies to a smaller size but the error persists.
You are missing the point of iDVD. It compresses all content to mpg-2 and therefore it ONLY cares about the length of your content in minutes!!! The RAW file file size doesn't count. In 'Best Performance' you can get up to 60 minutes on a single layer DVD. In 'Best Quality' you can get up to 120 minutes on a single layer DVD. (Double the times for a double layer disc.)
If your files are less than 640x480 pixel size, you might want to consider using Roxio's Toast to create a video CD.
I suspect the image quality of the DVD you can produce from your files will be rather low.

Create multiple looping videos on one DVD
My client wishes to have a DVD with multiple video selections on the menu and the option to have those videos loop when they are selected to play, so they will play endlessly until they choose another video. Evidently this is going to a trade show of sorts. Is there a script or a setting that will prevail on this matter. I know that on the main menu there are loop settings but not on tracks or have I missed something? Anyone with suggestions?
Myles:
Check this recent thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=810404
You can use stories to create normal and loop playback tracks without scripting.
Hope it helps !

So the last two times I've called my girlfriend, her video and another icon of hers has appeared in the conversation. Her video is the main screen, and her icon is right beside my video in the corner. It makes it so I can only see the icon when Skype is minimized, and not her actual video. It's like she's screen-sharing or there's another person in the call but it's both her.
I'm using Windows 8.1 on a laptop, and I'm using the desktop client.
Any suggestions?Do you have this issue with all your contacts or only with contacts using Skype on Mac/iOS devices?

Selecting two videos in one applet wothout errors?
Hello there,
I have created an applet that allows the user to swap the videos that are been displayed with radio buttons. The intention is for the radio button to remove the original video and display the other one. I end up with both of them on the screen at the same time and the controls go a bit mental. There were a lot more problems to begin with but I solved them by using the online help and the documentation. However, I have got stuck with this problem. It might be easy to solve and all it needs is a fresh and more experienced pair of eyes to look at it.
I am still new to the JMF and inexperienced at programming on the whole so any help will be appreciated.

Help needed - 7 videos in one dvd but new to video
Hi,
I'm a print designer with no knowledge of video editing/dvd creation based in the UK, and I have been tasked with compiling a training video consisting of 7 videos (supplied in different formats, sizes and frame rates).
I have built a project in Encore with a menu system and imported the videos as separate chapters which seem to be fine in preview but I when I burn the dvd some of the videos are not showing the text properly and they seem very jumpy. Do I need to encode all of the movies to the same settings, if so what setting would be best to use?
My deadline for this project is tomorrow as it was a last minute idea.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated and might save me from a nervous breakdown!
Thanks
MarkI hope you found a way to make this work, and that my response is irrelevant. But I worry about what problems you may get in taking different frame rates and trying to export them all to a common format. I don't disagree with Hunt, but we don't have enough information to anticipate how Premiere may throw you some curves.
You can have videos with some differences in Encore, as long as you don't mix things on the saem timeline. I haven't tried it, but I assume you can mix different format timelines in a playlist. You don't say what the different formats, etc, are, and that can make a lot of difference. For example, I hope you're not mixing NTSC and PAL!
Another approach to your problem was to make each video its own timeline, and do a play all through use of a playlist. Then take only the videos that have problems and work them in Premiere. The method that requires the least knowledge on your part would be to delete the problem timeline and video, edit the video in Premiere and modify as needed (size, framerate, or whatever), and export to a DV format (ignore the avi, you will probably use a quicktime/mov file). When you import as timeline to Encore, you are bringing in as a new name.
You don't say what version of Encore. Here is help for CS5 and the formats accepted by Encore for import.

If this is still not working, list the file format, pixel frame size, frame rate, par of each. -
Will PE7 burn a long video to multiple DVDs?
I've been working on a project that uses footage from 15 scientific conference presentations, each one lasting about an hour. The conference spanned two days, and I have two sets of footage plus literally thousands of PowerPoint slides to incorporate. I need to have scene markers set up, so the viewer will have a menu from which to select whether to "view all" or skip to a particular scene (speaker). All that is manageable.
While I know that PE7 has the "adjust quality to fit media" option when burning the video to disk, what I'd really like to do is have PE render the files with the highest quality, even if it means that the resulting video will span a number of disks. Otherwise, my DVDs will each contain at least three hours of lower quality video. I know my client will be unhappy with this.
I am separating the entire project into two sections - day one and day two.
My question is, with day one being about six hours of video, is there a way to set up the burn so that it will maintain a higher quality video? While PE can fit several hours of video on one DVD (?), it sacrifices quality to do so. I want the highest quality video possible. Incidentally, what is a reasonable length to fit on one DVD?
Do I need to break the project up into many sub-projects, or can I make the entire first day's video one project and have PE automatically break the burn into several DVDs, including scene markers?
A second question has to do with scene markers. Once I have the entire first days video set up, including scene makers, should I decide to break the project up into two or three sub-projects, is there a way to delete footage including the scene markers? Obviously I can take all the footage AFTER a certain point and delete it and then render that part to disk, but is there a way to delete the footage BEFORE a certain point, including deleting the scene markers? When I tried to do this, the scene markers remained exactly where they were - they were not tied to the actual video.
Thanks!
JimJim,
PrE has no way to "span" multiple DVD-Videos. It also balks at really long Timelines. My advice would be to assemble your footage into Projects, each one for one disc, so you can keep the quality high.
If you already have everything in one Timeline, I'd then trim each to equal one disc, do a Save_As (Conference_Disk_01, _02, etc.) for each trimmed Project. Do the navigation for each disc, and then burn. Personally, I'd include Titles at the beginning and the end, to alert the user that they have, say Disc 1 of 6, and also "Insert Disc 2 now." That sort of thing.
PrPro has a few more capabilities, such as separate Sequences (think mini-Projects inside of a master Project), but I do the multiple disc sets the same way. Each Sequence (or groups of Sequences) is a separate disc, and is Exported for Import into Encore (my authoring program) and each disc is burned at the highest quality that will fit. Just finished a 17 disc Project, and it was handled the same way. Each Sequence was titled with the disc # and the placement on that disc, so I knew what went where. Had about 80 separate Sequences, but it was easy to know which ones went into which DVD/Encore Project. I also had the Disc X of Y on both the front of each disc, plus on the case for it. That way, the user knew where they were in the order, and could get the disc back in that order. You can do the same thing in PrE, but will be using Projects for each disc. A bit of planning will go a very long way in the production.
Good luck, and let us know if you have any more questions. BTW - for acceptable quality, I'd set a limit of 2 hours for any duration, with maybe 150 mins. as the absolute max. I've "stuffed" 3 hours on a DVD-5, but it is NOT a pretty sight. Can you go with DVD-9's?

How can I get 20 different movies onto one dvd and have them play consecutively?
I am having a hard time converting all of the videos I've taken of my kids from my iphone onto a dvd. I would like the videos to play consecutively as if we were watching home movies from our regular video recorder. How can I convert my videos to one dvd?
If the total playing time for all of the videos is less than 120 minutes create a slideshow in iDVD and add the movies to it in the order you want them to play. Select any slide duration time except manual. Do not add any music to the slideshow as it will override the audio in the video files and do not add any transition as it won't be a smooth transition.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums. -
Seeing two videos at the sametime
I would like to see two videos at one time or on one screen. I have watched the apple tutorials several times and still don't quite get what to do. Thank you.
-R.V.The video in track one is black and does not play.
That sounds like an incompatiable video format is entered into the Timeline.
What type of video is it that won't play?
OR:
You can't see track one because only the highest track is visible when both are at full size.
Make the top track smaller as discussed to allow the underlying track to be revealed.
In Image + Wireframe mode you will see a number displayed in the the middle of the Canvas. This number indicates which track is active.

How to make project across two DVDs with one DVD menu
Hi!
I’m working on a large project (3 hours of video with about 10 chapters, over 50 pictures in a playlist, and special feature chapter) and wondering is it possible to make an project across 2 or more DVDs, but to have menu only on first one? I’d like to make an project that comes with menu only on first DVD and when you click on e.g. “special features” button, then you get the message “please insert DVD 2″
Is it possible and how to make something like that?
Thank you!I would have EACH DVD begin with a menu. Somebody will insert DVD 2 first no matter how you label things.
Yes, you are right! People just don't want to read, but I'm making an animated menu in AE and it'll take about 300MB (rendered in .mpg). That is what I want to avoid on other DVDs to save some space. You just gave me an idea so I'll make some small menu for other one or two DVDs with just a few informations about what DVD is inserted and what DVD you need to insert if you want to watch something else from that project. Thank you!
I just have to learn better Encore and its capabilities and limitations (if I have time ) -
Two video and audio tracks, only need one audio
Question- I recorded an event- about two hours long. I used two cameras from two different angles. The main camera has the worst audio whereas camera two is best. I want to use the audio from the camera 2. I know how to do this by syncing them up, "turning" down the video from cam 2 and turning down audio from cam 1, BUT here are my questions:
1- I want to make sure the video fits on a 4GB DVD when project is finished. Will the size of the project double because I have two videos on the same timeline? If yes, is there a way to delete the video or portions of from one camera to save on the size of the overall project after converting to Quicktime?
Thanks to anyone who responds!!Will the size of the project double because I have two videos on the same timeline?
No. It all gets rendered to a single video track.
Whether your finished product fits on a DVD has to do with the running time. Two hours will fit easily.
Your Final Cut Pro master file could be 300 GB for example, it all gets transcoded to MPEG2 video and ac3 audio for the DVD.
