You need the Premiere Video Server plug-in.

Question - TE25 - DVD not clear on TV playback No.40676
Buggyjohn  2004-01-21 07:06:53 ( ID:sdaasic/zjg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]


I have Pinnacle Studio 8 and I captured video from my Sony digital Hi 8 camcorder. When I burned a DVD with Studio 8, the playback on the DVD home player was not as clear as the tape source or as the computer capture.

Why is this? How can I capture from Hi 8 tape and preserve the same quality to DVD and have the same clarity on TV playback?

Do I need a better capture program ?

Thanks

You need a better Encoder - like TMPGEnc!


Minion  2004-01-21 23:30:04 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Studio 8 Uses an awefull Encoder,You need to use a Real Encoder to encode your Captured files to Mpeg2 for DVD if you want any sort of Quality...What Confuses me is why when you Get Bad Quality useing Stdio 8 you come here to ask Why???



Question - TDA1 - How Do you set lengths of thumbmail chapters No.48978
Kevo  2004-01-21 01:57:42 ( ID:5z3z1qeev/. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

In the menu editor I have set everything to motion menu.
I can set the seconds of the main menu animation here but can't find anywhere to set the length of each animated thumbnail.

In the help file it says...

"The chapter thumbnail will be animated for the specified number of seconds within the area of the thumbnail."

Where do i enter these seconds?

I've looked everywhere or does it use the main menu seconds?

Many Thanks

since the whole "background" INCLUDING the thumbnails is only ONE mpeg sequence, the loop-time for both is identical.
hence, you can only specify one time for the whole thing.

if you want - say - your thumbnails to loop every 2 seconds, and your background to loop every 4 seconds, you can make small mpeg-files for your thumbnails, that contain 2 runs of your 2 second loop.
that's just an example, but i hope you get the idea.

Thanks for your reply.

The track menu itself is not aminated, just the thumbnails although the main menu background is animated and has no thumbnails.

Does this make a difference?


hustbaer  2004-02-03 01:22:35 ( ID:gbemr.lp.t6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

uh.
i see.
i misinterpreted your question.
sorry.

of course it would be technically possible to have different loop-lengths on every distinct page (just not within a page), but i dont think tmpgenc dvd author supports this.
adjust me if im wrong :)

so you should just set the loop-time to the duration of the main-menu-background-movie - that way your chapter-preview thunbs will loop the same length - but at least the background-loop will be the length you want it to be...

if you only have one animated thingy per page, everything will be fine, just that all loops will use the same duration.

isn't that stupid: all menus must be the same length.... I'm leaving Tmpgenc.



Question - TDA1 - Re-Arranging 13 Thumbnail Chapters Over two Track Menus No.48977
Kevo  2004-01-20 23:41:28 ( ID:5z3z1qeev/. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have 13 thumbnail chapters and want to create two Track Menus consisting of 7 and 6 but the menu editor only seems to give me 6 or 13 chapters to a page thus creating 3 or 1 track menu.

Is there a way round this so I can create two track menus without hiding any chapters?

Many Thanks

that means 1, 2, 3 etc. on the remote.

No idea.

Thanks

TMPGEnc DVD Author can't do that. Try DVDLab.


Kevo  2004-01-22 14:46:15 ( ID:rau5tums6gn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

That's a bit of a throwback to VCD.

Are you sure you want a menu like this?

Number keys are for chapters rather than titles.



Question - TDA1 - Menu re-use No.48973
Ron  2004-01-20 17:17:07 ( ID:bnb6ilxteqk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is it possible to save a previously created menu ? The menus I will be using are similar, with only a few text changes between them. The "history" button does show the previous text but you still have to "cut and paste" each entry in the menu. I am trying to remove the error prone user(me) as much as possible from the creation process.

Thanks for your help



Question - TE25 - Premier 6.5 setting No.40672
papafox  2004-01-20 09:07:44 ( ID:v8sxgoqxvhh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I exported an Adobe Premier 6.5 movie to their dv version of .avi. TMPGEnc would not work with that file, I imagine because it is DV I rather than DV II. Unfortunately, the Adobe export menu gives only one dv .avi file export choice, so I cannot easily select type II. Any suggestions?


ashy  2004-01-20 16:03:05 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just convert it to DV 2.

You can also use PlugIn-Pack to stream the Video directly from Premiere to any Encoder without saving the AVI first.



Question - TE25 - AVI to DVD basics No.40670
bilbert  2004-01-20 02:56:46 ( ID:26tlxl7yom. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is the TMPGEnc program able to take an AVI file from my DV camera and allow me to save it to a DVD disk that I can play on my home entertainment DVD player?

I'm not trying to do anything fancy here, just to save my edited .AVI file to some file format that will be: A: Very High Resolution, and B: Playable on my and my families home DVD players.

My first attempt with TMPGEnc took a 6GB 30 minute AVI file and after 7 HOURS of "converting" (on an XP3200+ system with 1 GB of PC3700 RAM, and a very fast 240GB RAID-0 array) gave me a nice 1.9GB file that had a ".M2V" extension. I burned that to a DVD disk and nothing seems to read this. What did I do wrong, and isn't there a simpler way to do this??

I've got 15 hours of home DV tapes I would like to put on DVD. Is TMPGEnc what I need, or are there better (simpler?) programs out there?

Thanks for your help.

P.S. - can I turn that .m2v file into something a DVD player will play?? (I've got a fancy new DVD player that will supposedly play EVERY format)



Minion  2004-01-20 03:40:59 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When encodeing DV AVI files with Tmpgenc make sure that the DV Files are Type-2 DV AVI files cuz Tmpgenc doesn"t like Type 1 DV..When you encode your DV Files to DVD in Tmpgenc there should be a M2V Video file and a Wav audio file, and you Don"t just Burn these files to DVD you have to use a DVD authoring Program to add chapters and menu"s and format the audio and Video files into a Video_TS Folder that then gets Burned to DVD in DVD-Video Mode..A simple DVD authoring Program to use is "Tmpgenc DVD author" which you can download by clicking the Banner below...and when you create the Mpeg2 file from the DV AVI files useing Tmpgenc you should go into the audio settings and change the audio format to Mpeg1 Layer 2 instead of LPCM because LPCM takes up Far too much Space on the DVD....Cheers



Question - TE25 - Movie in MPG format doesn't have video stream No.40668
floyd  2004-01-20 02:22:24 ( ID:aobwlvfd5uo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have two movies in mpg format which I want to joing using TMPGenc merge tool. Both movies can be played in Windows Media Player perfectly fine, but when I want to join them, TMPGenc tells me that one of them doesn't have video stream. How is that possible when I can watch it with no problem. Thanks in advance


B_Racer  2004-01-20 13:02:43 ( ID:0jd4rmr3tyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc is more sensitive to MPEG-Streams with Errors than Media Player.

Try to remux the Videos with ProjectX or bbTools first.



Question - TDA1 - Looping Motion Items No.48971
Nick  2004-01-19 14:40:50 ( ID:opsq11dhlw. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is it possible to loop motion items - for example, having a background image + music item that loops, so that you can have ongoing music for as long as the menu page is up, or a video clip used to identify a chapter that keep looping round. At the moment, these things seem to run once, then end.


hustbaer  2004-02-03 01:25:51 ( ID:gbemr.lp.t6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

everything loops fine on my standalone-player.

did you use a hardware-player, or software?

New to dvd burning so be gentle with your responses. Have a movie that was in avi format shrunk the file and converted to mpeg.

I tried to do that but kept receiving stream writing error.WHat can i do to get this mpeg file i have to playon my standalone dvd. This is themost frustrating thing i have ever tried to do. thankyou for your help

Just delete 'TMPGEnc.ini' and 'CurrentCfg.tpr' from the TMPG folder then run TMPG.
