I use it regularly, and the quality seems to be better than capturing with an NLE. You might even be able to avoid using an NLE at all.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/can-i-pay-to-get-a-dvd-edited#post-52096 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:26:19 +0000 kickerr 52096@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thats great.

Basically i have a wildlife dvd (a genuine dvd i bought in the shop) and i want to cut some scenes out of the dvd and upload them onto the computer. Then ideally i want a large flat screen monitor (completely seperate of the computer) and somehow to be able to send one of the wildlife scenes from the computer to the flat screen monitor. Otherwise maybe just use a USB memory stick and transfer data from computer to flat screen that way. </p> <p>Would you know about any of this birdcat? I would really appreciate any advice you could offer me. My email address is <a href="mailto:stevekerr101@hotmail.com">stevekerr101@hotmail.com</a></p> <p>Thanks in advance.

I did on eBay. Make sure, however, that you are not buying a pirate copy or a fake. You also didn't mention that Encore is a bit of a task to learn.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/movie-edit-pro-14-need-help-burning-a-dvd#post-49798 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:42:11 +0000 david5566 49798@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>you do not give too much details. But for burning a dvd with Movie Edit Pro, I think one thing must be figured out. The one you are specifically interested in is the "Disc images:" path.  This is the folder where MEP creates the actual DVD disc images during encoding.  It then burns those images to your DVD.<br />As an extra note, MEP never automatically deletes these images, which means they will eventually fill up your HDD.  Believe me, I learned this the hard way.  After I'm sure my DVD plays correctly, I always go back and delete those files.Hopefully, this solves your problem.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-dvd-writing#post-49136 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:15:26 +0000 XTR-91 49136@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you're using DVD authoring software, edit/import the video in its original format. The software will do the encoding for you. Nearly one hour of HQ (High Quality) video will fit on a standard-sized (4.7 GB) DVD. The time specs for HQ might be slightly different - e.g. 57 minutes, so one hour of video could mean two minutes more or two minutes less. Some software gives a Smart Fit option, which adjusts the quality so that it fits perfectly on the DVD's capacity. If you don't have this, you will have to choose SP (Standard Play).</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-dvd-writing#post-49132 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:45:07 +0000 robgrauert 49132@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You need to convert it to MPEG2.

You say that you're in Europe. If you're shooting or editing footage in NTSC, then playing back the footage on a PAL device might be causing some of your issues. Make sure that you render everything in PAL format.</p> <p>Can you send a screenshot or photo of what it's doing on the screen. Stripes can be a lot of things, from misformatting as I mentioned, to dirty heads on your camera. IF we could see it, it might help to diagnose the issue.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-quality-for-dvd#post-47774 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:51:46 +0000 heavy harris 47774@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>thank you for prompt answers!!!</p> <p>i from east europe</p> <p>i shoot in SD while by us hd technology is not  very spreadet</p> <p>in our country exists only 5 sony hvr z7 camcorder</p> <p>you now that the tv is interlace and the pc monitors noninterlace</p> <p>when i make a dvd a see some horizontal lines when the subject are in move</p> <p>what is came of settings sould i do ??</p> <p>can you send me a saved template or tell me what came of project setting and rendering settings to use to have the best quality???</p> <p>thx</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-quality-for-dvd#post-47760 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:45:50 +0000 jimcvideo 47760@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Sarge,</p> <p>I laughed when you mentioned colors being off.

What SD quality are you shooting in? Depending on the length of your video, you'd probably want to export in HQ (high quality) with Dolby Digital audio if these settings are available. This is what my editing software uses.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-quality-for-dvd#post-47758 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:30:28 +0000 SargeHero 47758@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>When I make my DVD I render in Main Concept MPEG-2 with the template in DVD NTSC Video Stream. I had never had any problems with the rendering, besides the ridiculous long time it takes (because of my computer) but  the quality of the DVD is pretty good. Since you record in PAL you will need to set the template to DVD PAL or DVD PAL separate stream. Don't forget to do this because if you choose NTSC as a template your frames and video resolution will not be the same and it will damage the quality. Then go to a DVD creation software and make an awesome DVD menu.</p> <p>Another thing, the quality will look good on a computer, but not necessarily in a DVD player. It depends on the television that its used. I had this problem in a previous shortfilm I make, I edit it in a 1920X1080 HDMI monitor and it look good and all, but when the movie was shown in projector WOW...... some of the colors look bad and some scenes had excesive brightness... well what can we do, all movies will look different in TV and projectors. Keep this in mind, but you should have a good quality of DVD in general.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-quality-for-dvd#post-47751 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:05:34 +0000 heavy harris 47751@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hy </p> <p>thos is my first post !! its a great forum!!!!!</p> <p>i have a urgent question</p> <p>i have a sony hvr z7 camcorder</p> <p>a shot in PAL SD 720X576 25 fps</p> <p>what is the best quality setting and rendering settings in vegas8???</p> <p>what i can i do to make the best quality when i play in dvd player and PC monitors</p> <p>pls help me!!!</p> <p>thank you</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/burning-sony-sr11-files-to-dvd-using-imovie#post-47713 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 06:20:00 +0000 zoobie 47713@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> again, those all-in-one aps rarely offer any quality...</p> <p>you'll get the best quality by using aps that specialize in it's particular task..be it resizing, converting to mpeg, burning, etc...</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/burning-sony-sr11-files-to-dvd-using-imovie#post-47690 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:46:22 +0000 mlengden 47690@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks Don.
