VideoStudio :: X5 - Converting DVD To MP4
Dec 6, 2012
As Microsoft started to eliminate DVD support in his flagship OS I'm thinking about converting DVDs content to a more modern standard (e.g. mp4 (H.264)).
In X5 SP1 I'm facing an unexpected problem. There is no matching resolution. DVDs use 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL) but in the convertor I cannot find matching resolution in mp4's container for H.264 MAIN nor BASELINE
nor HIGH profile encoders.
Is this a X5 implementation error or a 'feature' dictated by a standard.

I have been using VS since version VS5 and lately VS X2. Now I have upgraded to VS X4 Pro, the box version.
The installation went well and am just performing some tests. I was curious in the new facility with converting 2D to 3D.
I followed the manual and tried with one clip and went to the Share step where I selected Create videofile, selected 3D and DVD as well as AVCHD. My clip was in full HD. I went to the Options menu where I ticked 3D Simulator and Anaglyph.
The result after rendering however was only a white screen but with the sound from the clip. When rendering the same clip to DVD or AVCHD in the "normal way" everything was OK.

Looking at the differences of frames per second and vertical lines of NTSC and PAL I am wondering if video recorded in AVCHD NTSC can be successfully converted to PAL or will there be a noticable difference in picture height and speed?

Family DVD - Footage has been shot in the UK (PAL camera) and edited in X3 - everything at 25 fps. I've managed to render a new mpeg2 file of the completed work n NTSC (29.97 fps). All of this in X3. I can see it's 29.97 by looking at the Properties of the new file.
But how to get this file onto a DVD at 29.97? I've tried bringing the 'NTSC' file into MovieFactory SE but I can't then get the Project Settings to show NTSC - only PAL.
I've set the Disc Template Manager to NTSC but if I then look at the Project Settings it's at 25 fps and I can't change it. If I go back to the Template Manager it's showing PAL again!!! I'm sure I didn't have any of this trouble in X2!!
So how can I burn a good quality DVD in NTSC format from my PAL project?

I copied some videos to a DVD using a Panasonic DVD recorder and was trying to put them on my computer for storage and playback. It was three TV shows in VOB format with IFO files in the folder as well. Initially, the only way I could get anything to play was with the video TS file with windows media player, as my computer does not recognize VOB. This doesn't really work as they need to be stored separately given that they are different shows. Further complicating it is that instead of 3 VOB files, there are 5, so the episodes are spilt in the middle of some of them.
I came across this old thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19926&view=previous . I can't import from DVD because it reports it's not a valid format. I was able to rename them to mpg files, but have some issues. When played individually with windows media player, file 01 only plays 5 minutes of the video (About 20-25 minutes are just missing despite being over 1 gig) and the actual video is missing, just the audio plays (the video for that 5 minutes does play in vs x4, it is complete and works fine when playing from the video_ts file in windows media player). The others work fine. Each episode is about 42 minutes. Also noted that 01 is listed as being half of the resolution of the others.
When I try combining files and saving as various mpg options or flv, I either lose audio altogether at certain parts, or it is badly delayed/mismatched and the part that is not showing when I play file 01 alone is missing from the combined video as well. I also tried it in windows moviemaker, but it can't play the files at all.

Is there a way that you can convert a 4.3 import to a 16.9 output? I have imported a musical from a disc which is recorded in 4.3. I would like to output this as a widescreen video. I have tried putting in on the overlay track which gives a better output result but still has the borders each side.

I've shot HD video on a Sony SR11 in .m2ts formatTS(AVC) and 1920x1080 resolution.
I'm looking to edit these short videos in a project with a format of 2.35:1 or 1920x800 as a finished project.
I'm using video studio pro4x right now but willing to upgrade if I need to to get this resolution.

I'm trying to burn +/- 1gb .mov/mp4 files to dvd to watch on a dvd player hooked up to a tv. I tried burning the mov/mp4 files directly to dvd but my dvd player isn't able to read them. VideoStudio 12 was included on my computer, will it convert mov/mp4 files to a format that can be burned to a dvd that I can watch on my tv?
I don't need to edit the files, just burn them to dvd in the highest quality possible to watch on my tv. If it will, are there any tutorials on how to do this?

I am converting some video from VHS tapes starting by copying my VHS tapes to my DVD player/recorder's harddisk. I then intend to copy from the hard disk to DVDs and don't mind copying at the maximum resolution. I will then import those DVD's into VS and edit. What I want to know is what is the maximum bit rate I should use so that I don't loose any resolution (my VHS is bad enough as it is) but also fit as much as possible to a single sided DVD. As the resolution of VHS is nowhere as good as DVD I would have thought that it would be a waste of space to output at say 7500kbs.

I am having issues converting AVCHD Video (.MTS) videos to WMV HD 1080 30p. (16x9) When I try to use this default option the final result never comes out 16x9 widescreen. The original is 16x9 widescreen. (In the settings tab it is checked to be 16x9).Now if I use the WMV HD 720p, it will be 16x9 widescreen (using same original video).
I am pretty sure this did work fine when I first installed this software, but something has changed...and I know I have not touched any settings at all.

I upgraded to VS X4 SP1 having successfully used its predecessors for many years. However, I now cannot burn a DVD as it fails in the Converting Video of the title (001/001] step.
My clips are captured by firewire from a Sony camcorder in DVI format. In this project I am using transitions, moving menus, 12 chapters and titles extensively.
My workflow is as follows: Share, Create Disc, DVD, Use first clip as introductory video is unchecked (patched dll file for Unknown Error installed), use Smart Scene Menu, Burn. Timeline is 1:26:54:22 so I select Yes to fit to DVD. PC crashes anywhere between 6 and 18 minutes later. Do not convert compliant MPEG files is checked.
I have tried various other things and can successfully burn a video under 30 min on the timeline without and transitions, chapters or menus.
My project properties are Microsoft AVI, PAL 25fps, 24 bits, 720x576, 4:3, Lower Field First, DV Video Encoder - type1
Clip properties are the same with 32000kHz, 12 bit Stereo audio as per attached file.
The converting video of the title step takes up to 30 min to complete for a 20 - 30 minute project, so seems like a proportionally high time of total job.

Whenever I want an image that I have edited in Photoshop to look good in a browser, I have to convert the image to my monitor's profile for it to look the way it did in Photoshop. So, the workflow is 1) finish editing 2) convert to profile for my monitor's profile 3) Save for web...
Color mgmt makes my head swim but I sort of see why this is. But my question is, most places on the web, I see people are just converting to SRGB for the web and I will say that that does not work for me at all. Does that mean they are talking about converting the color space and not the profile?
I admit that my monitor in its uncorrected stated is way off. That is to say, after I run the Spyder software my monitor colors look a LOT different. I shouldn't think this would matter but I'm just throwing it out there. I am a Windows user.
The reason I am asking this is because when I try converting images on export in LIGHTROOM to my monitor profile it does no good. The image looks terrible in the browser.
Am I missing something? Do I have a setting set wrong somewhere or does everybody have to convert to the monitor profile to get stuff to look right in a browser.

Where you convert to B & W on Version CS2. I had elements 8 for a while until I went into the big leagues and there was a nice area there where I had several 'programmed' options for different variations of B & W for the same photo to choose from. Where is that on CS2?

I am trying to convert from CDR to EPS because the print shops in my country don't use CorelDraw.
The thing is, what shall I do before converting from CorelDraw? I exported it and saved it as EPS, I tried the same as PDF then opened it with an Adobe Illustrator and saving it to EPS but as you can see in the attachment, they are different, even the pictures that I imported while using CorelDraw, they became blacker!

I have upgraded my Adobe reader to XI and when converting DWG to PDF the files comes out very heavy (heavier than the DWG!) and all curved lines comes out very very light comparing to straight lines.

I have just started using v2012 from a 2008 version and whilst i had no problem converting to pdf before I now cannot do so. The command acad.pat cannot find file appears when i load up Autocad and since i don't understand the consequences of this I just cancel the window but when I try to PDF a DWG the same command appears so I guess it is quite an important file that is perhaps missing. Do I need to reload the software or how do I resolve this.

I was giving the task of converting DWG files to DXF. Here's what I have question on.
1. The DWG file was created with certain formats such as text, arrow, lines types as well as the drawing being in a diff scale, ex: 2:1. Later changed to 1:1 for the DXF file.
2. When I convert the file, which was straight forward, no I lost all my settings as describes above. For ex: I have some dims with tolerances, but now gone.
3. Is there an EASY way of changing the DWG to DXF without losing any formats?
I have attached a screenshot of a drawing converted to DXF and not re-sized and the other re-sized 1:1

I made an animation, and let's say I got it to look good at 15 FPS. I go to save it as an animated GIF, and that's in MS. How do I get the right MS to get 15 frames per second? and what's the conversion amount for other FPS numbers?

I recently designed a logo for a client that included both a gradient and transparency. I flattened the transparency, expanded the strokes and embedded the text before saving a copy of it in .eps and another in .pdf (PDF/x-1a:2003)
When I opened both files in Preview, I found these two problems:
I didn't have this problem when I saved the file in other formats (.jpg, .png) Also, while I'm here, is PDF/x-1a:2003 preset optimized specifically for printing?

I'd like to purchase a website template online which denotes that I'd have to use Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, or CorelDRAW to implement it. There's just one problem - I can't use any of these programs. As a matter of fact, I would like to use the template that I found with a "drap and drop" website builder, as opposed to coding. I was thinking, "What if i could covert an entire Ai file to a folder of PNG's?" ..then I could just manually build my website using those PNG's. Is this type of conversion even possible?.

The other day I was importing RAW photos and a message said that it did not import all images to DNG. Then, it shows the images imported as JPG. I would rather them be saved in NEF and converted in DNG. Maybe it was a button I pressed.
