I'm making a dvd of a piano performance which i need to send to the pianist, he lives in germany but he wants it to be able to play everywhere. SO before i burned my dvd, i pressed build/format and then i pressed burn, i checked all the countries and regions as playable and i also allowed the option for unlimited copies. That according to me should be okay. But when i tried it on my Sby chaar - DVD Studio Pro slow loading when working with hdv? Normal? 16 gb ram mate. - 14 years agoHi guys. I am new to this. I am working on 150 minutes of high definition footage and am using dvd studio pro to burn my compressor-files into a dvd, and as i cycle through the various menus i notice that it takes about 2-3 seconds for my g5 to load them. Is this normal? I would have thought it would be a much faster response with 16 gb of ram. Just asking.

I have a 30 minute long video in final cut pro, which I want to turn into a usable asset that can be used in DVD Studio Pro. I understand, that the only dvd-studio-usable format FCP can process the video into is "Mpeg2" or "uncompressed". But uncompressed uses up a lot of space.

Thanks. Charles.by chaar - Soundtrack Pro Re: Creating computer sound effects similar to alien - 17 years agoNo sweat foley. BTw guys i figured it out. You just have to take normal SFX files from Soundtrack, or you can the basic type-writer sound, muffle it, and change the pitch and amplittudes a bit, and you get Wayland Yutani's computer programme.

How the heck did they get their cool computer sounds? Like that sound the computers make when they are typing the names of the marines in Aliens 2 just before they all wake up.

I need to create an animation featuring a basic graph, with a line that connects to different co-ordinates, and it gets messy as one of my Economists talks crap about the economy: "Goin up, down, up, down, left, right, goes into a coma, goes left, keeps goin left, turns around, gets into a big circle.. and keeps goin into a squiggly line...

Josh, u suck. We're on the air dude. Oh ****.

But i cannot find MPEG-2 in the FCP export conversion selection of video compressors. As for using Jpeg Format @ full quality, i thought JPEG was usually lousier quality like with lots of bumps and blurred pixels in some areas of the picture. When i export my movies to H2.64, with i believe is Mpeg 4 right? I cannot use it as an asset in DVD STudio Pro.. So usually I use Uncompreby chaar - DVD Studio Pro best type of Quicktime format for use in DVD studio? - 17 years agoQuick query, I want to make a quicktime movie for use in DVD studio pro to make a dvd. When i select export quicktime conversion in FCP, what kind of Quicktime format should I use for best quality and best space? H.261 63 and 64 can't be read by DVD studio. So it seems only Uncompressed video is the way to go right? Or is it MPeg-4 video? I thought Mpeg4 gives lousy VCD type quality.by chaar - DVD Studio Pro Making Buttons appear at certain time? - 17 years agoHey guys. Need to submit my vid for the Digicon Fest on DVD. So im trying desperately to author a basic DVD quickly, with a cool menu which has a basic Play button and a slideshow for photos. I've set a cool video as a background already, but i want the "play" and "photos" buttons to appear only at the 19th second of the 26 second long background movie.

Since it just seems to be able to composite and chromakey.by chaar - Café LA Re: Shake? Is it any good? - 17 years agoSo it seems to be able to just do the stuff that FCP can do. I don't understand why one would need a programme like shake for compositing? Unless ofcourse using shake to composite lots of stuff would reduce lag in FCP?by chaar - Café LA Re: Concrete Floors and high ceilings! Help!

The system drive is of 200 gb total capacity. It had 100 gb worth of free space. I have a total of 2 hard drives; 1 system and another i added on. Both are of 200 gb capacity. Having failed to export it to my scratch drive, i tried to export it to the system drive (in movies), but i still encountered the same hang at 84%; I can't recall exactly how much space was left in the systemby chaar - Café LA Re: Exporting quicktime file Hang in FCP - 17 years agoHi Derek. Yes I've tried desperately to capture DV in FCP, FCP captures DV for 3 seconds before a silly error message. I can capture HDV no problem. Anywayz, this is why I am working in HDV from now on; easy capture and better picture. Perhaps I have never patched or updated my FCP? Seeing as I don't want to connect my mac to the internet (less it becomes as screwed and sick as my PC) Hey Sby chaar - Café LA Re: Exporting quicktime file Hang in FCP - 17 years agoBefore the export of my file, i had 90 GB worth of free space on the hard drive; when it reaches 84% complete, when i checked, my free space was down to 50GB only. So it seems the solution is to get a larger 1TB drive for future hd work? I'm working in HD from now on because my FCP simply cannot capture DV, it only captures hd.by chaar - Café LA Re: wicked check this maxtor hard drive - 17 years agok. but guys, like don't they make all drives the same these days?

I've done my 1st half hours worth of TARD TV; all iN HD format, i was exporting 30 minutes of it onto my hard drive, (which had 95 GB of free space), and whenever the progress bar reaches like 84%, FCP hangs and stops responding. I checked the hard drive i was exporting it to; the free disc space decreased as the quicktime file export progressed. My export settings were uncompressby chaar - Café LA |
