Why have MPEG2 and DVD presets

i have a 3 min project i am pressing for DVD,
what is the difference between the compressor presets for MPEG 2 and DVD?
they are both MPEG2! I only had MPEG2 until i upgraded to FC Studio.
the only diff i can find is 1 can be 60mins and the other does 90mins.
so why have the 2 lists containing 20 options when most are the same?
Also I shot it with a Z1P in DV wide and worked in FCP in anamorpic and have tried compressing in 16:9 and building the dvd in DVDSP in 16:9 but the final burned DVD plays on my Widescreen LCD TV in a wide version but it is letterboxed and streched horizontally a bit
cheers

If you simply appled the FC Studio upgrade over an existing installation which inclided Compressor 1.2.1, the old presets were not removed.
All the Standard Definition presets in Compressor 2.0 are prefixed by "DVD".
All the old presets are prefixed with "MPEG-2".
Do not use the old presets with Compressor 2.0
Delete the old presets which can be found in User/Library/Application Support/Compressor/
There is a more elegant method which I believe is accomplisehed by moving that "Compressor" folder to the desktop and restarting Compressor 2.0
A new folder with the correct presets will be built.
But I haven't done this myself, nor did I have to as I wiped my drive before installing FC Studio.

    If you don't have a SuperDrive you will not be able to burn DVDs. 
    Did iDVD come preinstalled on your Mac?  If it did then you should have a SuperDrive and be able to burn DVDS. Check the Disk Burning section of System Information

  • Trial version of Pre 5.5 doesnt have Mpeg2-dvd... why?

    Hello, I've been using various editing software for a while making silly home movies and the like but I was looking to get some real clout behind me and push for a job in editing or maybe start up editing old home movies.  I've used adobe premiere in college and was looking to buy it so I downloaded a trial version to see whats what.  I've read a few tutorials and wanted to publish a DVD to see what the quality compares to but after capturing my footage I found that I was missing a few codecs one of them being the MPEG2-DVD.  The funny thing is that the trial version specifically states that it comes with this codec.  I'm running windows 7 home prem, with an asus M4a88T-usb3 motherboard and a 6x speed AMD 2.4 processor.  I'm ok with computers but I'm wondering if there's a problem with Windows 7 and this codec.
    Is there any way of updating this before the trial runs out?
    Any help would be appriciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have this and Mpeg2-DVD option is available in CS5.5 trial, the only possible difference that can be is I have CS5 Serialised version installed my my machine..
    Do you have CS5 Installed and licenced on your machine on which you have installed CS5.5 Trial ?
    I will try to check this now if this can be the reason why you are not getting this option..

  • Why doesn't itunes have an simple upload option for putting CDs and DVDs into my ipod touch library?

    I have movies and CDs I don't want to have to purchase again through itunes that I would like to put on my ipod touch without a lot of complicated hassles. I don't understand why it isn't a simple point and click and it happens option on my itunes library list of options. I have four kids and a ton of work and don't have time or expertise to spend figuring out how to make that work by reading through manuals. I don't see the point in buying the same music or movies or books twice. I work in a job that allows me to listen to my ipod while I work. This is a huge perk for an otherwise tedious and boring job, but I don't have time or money to spend buying extra movies or reading a ton of technical information trying to figure this all out. If they can do all the other stuff they do with an ipod touch I don't see why this request should be a serious challenge.
    I took a guess on my operating system. I don't know. Do you see the huge list of operating systems? That seems like a lot. It seems to me that everything should be compatible with everything else or people like me that expect to be able to do what other systems can do get really frustrated and irritated when we realize that we can't because capabilities and limitations where not emphasized in the advertising.

    HA! I'll add it to my favorites bar... then maybe I will be able to find it again. I just hope I can remember the password and username. You know that they aren't secure unless you change them every six months. Do you realize how many different computer systems and programs I have to engage in work and for personal use?! How in the heck am I supposed to remember all my passwords and usernames?! Oh, and it's not safe to write them down... especially with a bonehead like me that has too many irons in the fire and can't remember where he put his keys!

  • CS4: DVD encoding problem(s) Mpeg2 and avi

    Hi,
    I have been trying to burn my video files to DVD. After a month of failures and 50+ wasted DVDs thrown in the garbage -- plus countless hours trying to learn the basics, reading the FAQs, trouble-shooting, and losing my patience awaiting technical replies from Adobe (which I now suspect will go unanswered) -- I am out of solutions and waving a white flag.
    Problem:
    I have two video files. Both were created in Premiere Pro CS4 and exported via the Adobe Media Encoder as MPEG2-DVD high quality files (for NTSC) .
    The first Mpeg2 file is 800 MB (41 mins); the other is 988 MB (50 mins).
    I have placed the two files into a single timeline, with 21 chapter stops.
    The only other file in the entire project is a PSD file for the Menu. It has two buttons, which link respectively to chapter stops 1 and 10.
    My results are failure-upon-failure...
    Primary question:
    When I go to "Build" the DVD, it says the Encoded Size is 4.7 GB ~ same size as the DVD. This displays in the "Disc Info".
    Similarly, when I open my "Timeline" properties for that single timeline, it says the duration is 1 hour 31 minutes - 4.7 GB.
    Why is the disc a full 4.7 GB when the two video files (combined) are under 2 GB?
    Supplementary questions:
    My "Flowchart" and "Property" links display the Menu, with the two button links in my Menu PSD connecting to the respective chapter stops.
    There are no problems when I click "Check Project," and the project works perfectly in "Preview" mode.
    But, when I attempt to test the burned DVD into different DVD players, the Menu doesn't appear and the play defaults to random chapters, then freezes. I can access the menu, but only after the play has started and/or frozen, and I have to do that by clicking the "Menu" button on my DVD remotes. And again, when I hit play on either of the buttons on the main menu, the video files will freeze, which means burning & testing each disc sometimes takes an hour per.
    Does anybody have a solution?
    I have read and watched several tutorials, to no avail. I have tried burning the Project using large Mpeg files as well as medium Mpeg files, both encoded with 1-Pass VBR, 2-pass VBR, CBR. I have tried widescreen and normal.
    I have also tried using AVI files. The two AVI files are respectively 41 mins @ 1536 kbps 720x480 8.68GB; and 50 mins @ 1536 kbps 720x480 10.6GB.
    Together, those two AVI files are 19+ GB, which would require 5 DVDs.
    What am I doing wrong? What should I be using to burn DVDs - Mpeg-2 or Avis?
    When I export from Premiere Pro/Adobe Media Encoder, whould I be exporting as Mpeg2 files or Mpeg2-DVD?
    Is it possible that Encore automatically expand and/or compress files, so that the 19GB avi is compressed to 4.7 GB DVD; and the 1.8 GB Mpeg2 "expands" to 4.7 GB?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this project has caused me numerous delays and ruined deadlines and soured me even more on Adobe's video editing product and their truly-awful customer support.
    Thank you

    As far as the use of premiere pro CS4 with Encore Cs4, do not bother to pre transcode your material.  Let Encore do this for you.  Leave your files in the original format which I assume was AVI.  Instead import your Premiere Pro sequence directly from the project (or export it from Premiere Pro it to encore).   As you quessed Encore will try and expand/compress your files for the DVD you are making.
    Encore by default trys to transcode for the best quality that will fit onto the media you specify which is why it is setting the output to 4.7 rather than the file size of the video.
    You were not specific enough about the nature of the failed copies.  One thing to do is to always try testing your project from your first menu to see that it behaves correctly.  If you don't want your DVD to start playing automatically make sure you set it to open the Top Menu.  Then try a test either to your hard drive (if you can), or to a RW DVD.

  • Why is my iMac no longer recognizing Memorex CD-R and DVD-R media that it burned previously?

    So this has happened before to me with other computers and other drives, I've had burners refuse to recognize some brands of blank discs before, but I've never really figured out the issue or had a drive start to refuse to recognize a specific brand after a few years of previously recognizing and burning them just fine. Here's the problem:
    I have an older (2007) Intel iMac with the standard superdrive they shipped with. It wasn't particularly picky in the past with accepting different brands of blank CD and DVD media, though I remember that it did refuse a couple brands but I don't remember any more what they were. It did however always accept Memorex brand CD-Rs and DVD-Rs, and I literally burned several hundred DVDs and CDs on the internal superdive. All of a sudden, today I go to pop in one of the CDs and it tries to read it for about 20-30 seconds and then spits it out, no message, just rejects it. And the same thing happens with the DVDs. It's just the Memorex brand ones, older Sony and Verbatim CDs and DVDs are still reading just fine. I tried a blank Memorex CD from the same spindle that it previously burned discs from and it does the same with the blanks, blank DVDs from the same DVD spindle as well, spits them out when running Toast or Disk Utility or iTunes and trying to burn to them.
    So it apparently just decided that it doesn't like these Memorex brand discs, but they worked fine for the last 5 years. This is a pretty big problem as like I said, I have hundreds of CDs and DVDs with backed up data. They aren't dirty or scratched, they are pristine. Commercial CD's and DVD's read fine, and other brands of blanks, both already burned and blank, read fine as well. It's literally just the Memorex that this same superdive burned over the years.
    In the past, I had a couple extra DVD burners laying around and some external cases and had the capability to use a different drive if my internal wasn't playing nice with a brand, but I liquidated all my extra hardware a while back and don't have any other readers or writers, internal or external, that I can hook up to see what happens, unfortunately. I'm thinking that with one of the more recent OS updates, somehow support for Memorex brand discs was tossed out so the computer won't recognize them anymore. I don't know why else it would change what brands it supported like this on me. And I'm also guessing my only solution to be able to read all my hundreds of backed up discs is to buy another DVD drive and hook it up and hope it plays nice with all my discs. But that's really frustrating and I'd love it if somehow it would just recognize all the discs it used to without having to spend any money.
    And I'm hoping beyond hope that this is not a unique problem I have and others have the same issue with Memorex discs and someone figured out how to get them recognized again, but I'm not holding my breath.
    Any advice or musing on this issue is much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem and hopefully to offer a solution!

    Thank you very much for your response, Klaus1. Yeah, when I was searching the forums for an answer to this problem before finally posting, I gathered that Memorex blank media isn't recommended and of poor quality, unfortunately, which is of course too late to help me with my current problem, but knowing that now I'll make sure I don't continue to use them in the future. I used them for many years, as long ago when DVD burners were first available I had a very hard time with Toast successfully finishing a DVD-R on an internal Panasonic 2x burner on my G3 tower, and for some reason I had good luck with them (Memorex). And then I had a lot of them on hand and they've stood up well over time (not flaking, etc.) so I kept using them over a few Mac upgrades. It also had to do with DVD players we had being compatible and able to read them.
    Anyway, I'm rambling, point being I used them for lots of various reasons, but I should have kept informed in the more recent past and learned the fact that they're a poor choice and switched, my own fault. I just don't want to look totally stupid, like as if I had chosen them originally for no reason.
    I went ahead and reset the NVRAM and also reset the SMC, and I had tried my cleaner disc with little brushes earlier today for the heck of it, too, but no luck still. The drive just changed it's mind and no longer likes the Memorex discs, apparently end of story and no changing it, sigh. It still really baffles me that it had no problem with them for nearly 6 years up until a few months ago, the last time I used one. So weird.
    And no, I don't have the data on the discs stored anywhere else, so it's access them or nothing. I rummaged around and found an external 5.25" firewire case, and I do have a PC (yuck) I can borrow the internal dvd drive from and toss in the case and hook up to my iMac to see if it will read the discs and let me directly re-burn them to better media. I used to be very knowledgable about hardware and Macs in general, but I admit I haven't kept up my knowledge, and I don't know whether that will work - if my iMac is spitting out the discs because the drive doesn't like them and therefore a different drive might work, or if it's spitting them out because the system doesn't like them and switching drives will do nothing for me?
    If not then I'll have to resort to finding another Mac I can hijack for a long time to re-burn all these discs I need, as obviously a machine with one drive is going to take a long time - putting in a disc, copying it to a local drive, ejecting it, putting in a new blank, and re-burning the data about 250 times. And a lot of baby sitting the machine as I don't have a robot to keep doing it for me. Sigh.
    Thank you again for your advice, I greatly appreciate it even though I still struck out.

  • Hi  can any body please tell me how to open the .exe files in mac and why it is not supported with unarchiever app , also i am not able to run and dvd's in my mac its not accepting any cd's or dvd'd why do i need to do some settings for it ?

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    Why dont the Mac Pro's with Retina Displays have a CD/DVD drive? Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?

    Because Apple did not put one in there.
    Will Apple eventually stop producing CD/DVD drives?
    We can't really answer that, but it would not surprise me. More and more of the computers being produced by Apple lack an internal optical drive. If you really need one, get an external such as LowLuster suggests.
    Best of luck.

  • Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset?

    1. Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset? Im using ProRes HQ in FCP and clips at 1440x1080. But when they come out of Color they are 1920x1080? I notice from color there is no 1440x1080 Res preset so strange?
    2. In addition ive also noticed that I dont have the choice of 'Original Codec' in the render codec settings. Only ProRes, ProRes HQ, Uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. SO i use the higher quality 10bit.
    Message was edited by: StingRay67

    Ok, I class myself as a patient person and not one to fly off the handle. However, Color is testing me to the limits. I cannot work out for the life of me how this application is trying to handle my footage.
    I sending 1440x1080 thats been encoded 1440x1080 50i. This footage is ending up in the Color pref settings or as 1920x1080!! Secondly when I send this back to FCP obviously my Sequence will have changed to match 1920x1080.. thus up scaling the whole project! Then if that weren't enough, taking a look at the data-rates in the clip settings of the Color Sequence they read in excess of 131.5 mb/s My HDD give up immediately! (Is one supposed to render the timeline first once this footage is back from color? - i dont just mean because of the transitions etc)
    Now.. to yet further confuse the issue I then do a Render ALL in FCP and the Color Sequence plays back fine though still with the wrong Resolution of 1920x1080?
    to be frank, i just dont know where to start with this.. it seems 1 step forward 3 steps back each time. I can appreciate Im new to this but I thought I knew enough not to encounter such petty problems as just setting Color up for import/export. Im going to say it... Is this a Color problem or what? I dont think there are many of you using PAL with HDV into ProRes HQ or ProRes so I guess its going to have to be a £200 call to Apple? .. Which I probably wont do..
    Here's hoping.

  • HT2801 Why doesn't my dvd play in the usb superdrive?  I have a Retina Display Macbook 15"

    I have a 15" Macbook Pro w/ retina display.  Why doesn't the dvd play in the external usb superdrive?

    Again, it's a regularly purchased (Hollywood or so) movie DVD, yes? And it's not only this one DVD, but every other as well, yes? Please confirm.
    If so, it's the DVD Player app that hangs for whatever reason, and not a broken drive.
    Not that it's a "final solution", but just to see if you can generally play DVD's on this machine, would you mind installing and trying MPlayerX to play a DVD? It's a little app from the App Store, free of charge and much used around the globe. (Actually, you may want to keep it as it plays many more different formats...)
    Edit: Forgot to say that you will probably need to launch the DVD manually from MPlayerX, most likely after the DVD Player app crashed again.
    Let us know what MPlayerX does. And still, don't forget confirming the above, thanks.

  • Why have I lost a lot (if not all) presets / instruments on Logic Pro 9?

    Hello people.
    First thing is, I had logic on my previous mac (before i accidentally spilt water on it), and luckily the hard drive was unhurt and retrieved all data onto a new one, the thing is, since i have done this, the presets have been lost from plugins, such as Space Designer reverb, AVerb, EnVerb, SilverVerb. Such as, when I open an existing project where i've used a preset that is no longer there, it asks me to locate it:
    And also, I have several (IF NOT ALL) instruments that have been lost, no piano's or anything, and all projects where i've included them have all become the same instrument (like the EVP88 Electric Piano or something).
    Can anyone help me with this problem, what could I do to retrieve everything etc?
    Yes I have download the additional content that was available to me, and yes I have deleted it and re-installed from the App Store, no change.
    Kind Regards,
    Mitch Gardner

    How did you move the data from your old drive to your new one?
    If you used the Migration Assistant or Time Machine. that is likely why.. as many people have reported such issues after doing so.
    The only reliable method is to re format your new drive and start again from scratch but this time don't use MI or TM directly to restore from but instead download and install everything from new and then manually copy across your personal data and projects etc.... from your TM backups.
    You should be fine then... and yes, i know thats a pain to do but in the long term, it will save you a lot of headaches....

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message.  This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac.  I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

    I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message.  I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old.  Obviously I'm using iDVD.  I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem.  A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above.  I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD.  Still the same message came up.  I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened.  This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
    After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened.  They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
    I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had.  The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's.  The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message.  The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page. 
    I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work!  It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion.  I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy.  It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
    I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
    I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems.  Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.
    Jayne Connelly

    Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter.  So much appreciated.  And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this).  Although, you may regret asking for more information.  I've added everything I can below.
    The process I used is as follows:
    Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
    Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
    Add title to front of clips
    ‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
    Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
    Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
    Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
    Select submenu  - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
    Change title colours on clips
    Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
    In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
    In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
    Try new DVD discs
    Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
    Change images in drop zones
    Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
    Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
    Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
    Try with one clip and no menu pages added
    Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
    Turn computer off and restart
    New hard drive
    New optical lense (thing)
    New DVD burner
    Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
    Other points:
    I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
    For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across.  I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went.  It burned to disc image successfully.
    The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this.  That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
