Which way to convert to dvd better for me?

i have one 50gb exported video, it is about 1hr40mins, i have to convert it to dvd, but it take 25X hours for the process ! wt should i do? i need to done it quick, i should export the video again or wt other method?
i think the 50gb really to large,i took the video by canon 7D with 1920X1080 25frame, i just want a the video with acceptable resolution of "clear and HD" any setting i should change for export?

DVDs are SD resolution only. So when you bring your file into Compressor you have to change resolution as well as encode to MPEG-2. If you want good looking video then you have two choices.
1) Bring your HD video into Compressor and create a new preset with Frame Controls on. This will allow you to change resolution and encode in one step. The drawback is that it takes a very long time.
2) Create a new sequence in FCP that is SD resolution. Nest your sequence in it and scale it down. Now export that out. Bring it into Compressor and use one of the presets. Encoding time will be much faster.

Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
MOV file is as follows:
4.08GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Duration: 12:33
Audio Channels: 2
MP4 File is as follows:
3.02GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1280 x 720

I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Version 10.10. 2

First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,
Doug

Which one external hard drive is better for my G5's FW800 port?

Hi,
I use a late G5 under 10.4.11. Last two weeks I used two different Western Digital disks, My Book Studio & My Book Studio Edition II but both of them don't operate well with the FW 800. They conflict with my audio interfaces (FW 400 devices). Only at FW 800. At FW 400 and Usb 2.0 they operate fine.
Because of this I have to replace the WD disk and unfortunatelly I have two options from the store I bought it. And here is that I want your help please.
Which one external hard drive from these two is better for my G5's FW800 port?
Lacie Quadra 1TB External HDD by Neil Poulton or Verbatim Quad Interface External Hard Drive 1TB. Formatted HFS+ for Mac OS?
I'll very appreciate any answer. Spyros

Hi-
I think that looking at your other devices is needed.
Check out the Mackie troubleshooting guide for one:
http://www.mackie.com/support/documents/TechFAQno.1.pdf
Page 8 has specific suggestions regarding firewire and chipsets.
The same for the Presonus:
The firewire ports on a Mac (FW400 and FW800) run off the main logic board and share system resources. PreSonus interfaces are designed to be run in series with other firewire peripherals. If you are experiencing erratic performance or pops, clicks, and dropouts, daisy-chain your FW400 peripheral from the secondary firewire port on your PreSonus interface. If you must use a FW800 device, it is recommended to purchase a firewire expansion card for your Mac.
http://support.presonus.com/entries/119100-optimizing-your-computer-for-audio-ma c-osx
It appears to me that both devices require enough resources that the firewire controller of the G5 may be unable to properly support both FW400 and FW800 transfer rates.
It appears that the bandwidth requirements of the devices are forcing the machine to drop FW800 in lieu of supporting FW400.
Both makers suggest use of third party PCI cards for Firewire 800, and it may be that you need additional power to the firewire card to keep up with the I/O and bandwidth demands being placed on the machines by you audio devices.
You mention that someone told you to not use the Oxford chipset, but the best external drives are all those that have the Oxford chipset.
It is important to note that not all WD MyBook drives have the same chipset, and few of the WD drives have the Oxford chipset.
Asrock and VIA are other chipsets for the WD drives.
VIA is notoriously poor as far as Mac compatibility goes.

Can anyone suggest which NI-Smart cam would be better for my application???

We are planning to automise the vision inspection System. Our need is to check OD(15mm),ID(8mm),Height(3.5mm), Potting(Presence of cracks,bubbles,etc),Pin placement, Height of pitch. Which NI-Smartcam would be better for implementing this application.

Hi swathirangaraj,
why don't you call your local NI sales support when you want to know about NI cams?

Which of the NEW iphones is better for travel? which phone (and/or plan) will let me put in a foreign sim card?

which of the NEW iphones (5s or 5c) is better for travel from U.S. to europe/asia? which phone (and/or plan) will let me put in a foreign sim card?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Accoprding to Apple's information, all UK phones are sold as locked to the carrier you got it from, so yours is ALREADY locked to T-Mobile (activation has nothing to do with whether a phone is sold as locked or not).
However, it looks like, from Apple's listing, that they also support unlocking, but you will need to contact them about doing that. There may be restrictions, like so many months under contract first, or a fee, or whatever rules they apply to unlocking. Or there may be none and you just need to ask them to do it.
Regardless, you need to contact T-Mobile and ask them about how to get an unlock request processed by them. And do it before you leave - much more difficult to deal with once you are far removed from their network.

How to convert a DVD disc for use in Final Cut Express 3.5

I have a DVD disc of a conference which I would like to edit in FCE 3.5.
I would like to be able to import it into my FCE project, ad use it without having to the render it in FCE.
Is it possible to rip or import the disc (with Handbrake?) and then export the resulting file so it can be used in FCE. I am especially keen that when the file is imported, it doesn't have to then be rendered. I have had a number of problems with QuickTime files being imported to FCE where they then need to be rendered in the timeline before I can use them.
If anyone can suggest the following I would be very appreciative:
1/ how to import the DVD disc- Handbrake?- what settings are best to use? MPEG4, H.264...
2/ once imported to my Mac Pro, how do I convert it for easy use in FCE.
Just to show you that I did try this before posting to this forum, I tried the following:
1/ imported as a h.264 file with Handbrake (2hr video created a 2GB file)
2/ opened this file in an app called "MPEG Streamclip" and exported the file as a QuickTime file, and set as "Apple DV".
3/ BUT... the resulting file reached 17GB and then when imported to FCE, it couldn't be played in the timeline until I rendered it first- I didn't start this as it would have taken hours and hours!!
Any help or tips would be great
Thanks,
Simon

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free)
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k

Which driver on the Install DVD is for HFS+ read in Windows?

I installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64 on my MacBook of course about a week before Snow Leopard was released and have already gone through the tedious, time consuming process of getting all of the Windows drivers working for Win7x64. I really don't want to go through installing all of the various drivers again one by one (especially since I JUST did this) until I see the MAC partition in my Windows side (BootCamp) if at all possible... so does anyone know WHICH driver it is that will allow the HFS+ partition read? I really don't want to mud up my fresh Win7 installation by re-installing every BootCamp driver from the AppleOS CD. Thank you guys in advance, I really appreciate the help.

Yes Windows can, Leopard comes with the drivers for Windows to view HFS+. It does not need 3rd party software anymore as I have personally done this on another mac in the office. I went through and installed ALL drivers all at the same time though, so I don't know which one is the one that allows this. In Windows, it displays the MAC partitions as drive letters and you can read the partitions, you cannot write, just like NTFS.

Which one of these options are better for CDS updation?

Hi,
I was going through the data flow in the outbound direction in NW mobile.
the data object instances in the CDS are updated by 3 means:
1) DOE triggered
2) backend triggered
3) backend pushes instance to DOE.
which one of these is better.
kindly explain the reason as well.

Hi,
Actually there are only two types of Synchronization types between Backend & DOE,
1. DOE Triggered
2. Backend Triggered
DOE triggered adapters will pull the data from Backend to DOE where as Backend triggered adapters will push the data from Backend to DOE (there are two types in BE triggered, Key push & Instance push).
Backend triggered sync type is always better since the changes have been pushed to the DOE then & there (this can be achieved by event,etc..). So that always DOE & Backend will be consistent & the receivers (devices) will also get the latest data in order to proceed with their day to day activities (i.e. business critical data).

Ananth.

What's the best way to convert a DVD into MPEG-4 format so I can watch on my iPhone 3GS?

Can anyone help re question?

since ripping DVDs is not legal
Ripping commercial DVDs protected via DRM is illegal in many countries (although not all).
Ripping a DVD you made yourself, of footage you own the copyright to (e.g. your holiday video, wedding video etc) is perfectly legal.
Handbrake will encode your own unprotected DVDs to MPEG4, but it will not "rip" commercial DVDs.

How do I convert a DVD to a format suitable for a Digital Download?

I need guidance as to the best way to convert a DVD to a format suitable for a digital download. I am a web developer not a video expert, I only have access to Premiere Pro as a Creative Cloud subscriber. I'm not even sure if this is the best application to do what a need to do.
My client sells books some of which have accompanying DVD's, she wants me to convert these to a format that can be downloaded. I don't have the original files, just the DVD's themselves to work with.

Change steps 2 and 3 to your preferred web format.

Is there a way to convert DVD-VR movie into DVD-video to import in IMovie?

My husband shot 6 hours of video on a Sony DCR-DVD106E Handycam abroad, and had that burned on a dvd.
Unfortunely he shot this material with the camera in DVD-VR mode,and and now it's impossible to import and edit in IMovie. ☹ I discovered already that the camera should have been in Video-mode.
We do really need parts of the video for our work...........

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity? Which is better for the life of the battery?

I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery? Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now. I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial & overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
Any advice/comments please

I have lots of beta monkey drum loops in WAV format, is there an easy way to convert format for garageband use?

to convert all these files for garageband use (apple loops)

You will have to convert them to proper Apple Loops - add tags for key and tempo, category.
One way to do this would be to use GarageBand to add the wav files to the Loop Library one by one:
Find out the tempo and the key (if applicable) of one of your loops.
Set the key and tempo for your project.
Import a loop to a real instrument track and name the track, select the loop and use the command "Edit > Add to loop library". Set all the tags correctly, so the loopp will be properly indexed.
There used to be a SoundTrack Loop Utility, but I am not sure if it is still available somewhere. My old links don't work anymore.
