Normal vs DVD NTSC widescreen

Hello

I'm using version CS4 of Encore and first on Windows 7.  My question is: How can I tell that my DVD project is 'standard' width or "widescreen"?  Or even just deduce that the proportions of my calendar?  And if so, what happens if I have several timelines with different proportions, or a timeline with an aspect ratio is not 4:3 or 16:9?

And the aspect ratio does really matter?  Is the format of the pixels (RAP) coded in the DVD resulting, or user stuck to juggle television controls to adjust the proportions of the image compared to the proportions of the TV screen?

Here is some information on where I'm going with this question: if I understand things, the NTSC DVDs are always 720 x 480.  But they can be either 'standard' (BY = 0.91) width or "widescreen" (PAR = 1.21).  In other words, a wide screen TV is quite normal TV with large pixels.  So, if I go with my old camcorder, 4:3 video, I probably want to transcode with NORMAL = 0.91, and I want to display the DVD resulting in the 'standard' width (or with black borders on the sides on a "widescreen" TV).  However, if I have a HD 16:9 camera video so I want to transcode with NORMAL = 1.21, and I want to display the DVD resulting with black borders top and bottom to the 'standard' width or fill the entire screen on Cree top television 'wide-screen '.

I found no parameters in yet that allow me to play with these settings.  Select file/Edit quality Presets shows the export settings dialog box, but the MPEG2-DVD presets make clear how they deal with the PARs.

TIA - Bob

Hi just return, Bob.

Just to add to what has already been said... Wide screen could have the same pixel considered as 4:3, but they are coded differently so you get horizontal additional information. If not correctly interpreted you get 'Danny DeVito Syndrome' or 'cinémascope Syndrome' function in what way you are gone - I see far too many TV systems set up for 4:3, 16:9, so everyone seems short & fat, and we used to see the opposite in CRT 4:3 days when cinemascope films were shown with all the world looking about 15 "tall and incredibly thin. It is surprising that people get used to it.

It's not really standard TV with a problem of weight... it just seems like it, and this is where the confusion can easily set if not careful.

Because still is a layer of abstraction tool, there is no need to worry about such things, as long as the film imported as assets are correctly interpreted before compiling your DVD/Blu-Ray (who uses square pixels, and various different resolutions are legal, so it's VERY confusing).

This is simple, fairly well - in the list of assets of your project, make a right click the film & under "film" make the correct settings (in first Pro CS5 is in a subsection of "Edit > film") for PAL/NTSC/4:3 / 16:9 options. You can monitor the changes that you make to them in the source monitor too.

.

Your options are to or use the format of the header of the file, or force it to something else. In most cases, you must use the ratio of the file, unless dealing with non-standard assets in which case these should take a detour to Premiere Pro first bring them to DVD compatible ratios.

It is because even if still will allow you to import non-conforming goods, I've always found it is a serious mistake and a load of hassle delayed and who still works better & more firmly when fed with only DVD compliant assets.

Hope this helps

  • Export HD to NTSC widescreen - not really 16:9

    If you export pictures HD, 1080 x 1920, for example, to NTSC widescreen, you end up with 720 x 480 rectangular pixels that have a format of 1.2121 pixels. This means, the display is actually 873 x 480 pixels, which is a format on 16.4:9 instead of 16:9. What you end up with is the original video image crushed between thin and vertical black bars on the left and right sides (not the thick black bars you get when you view a video on a 16:9 screen 4:3).

    If you open the video in a sequence of NTSC screen, you will see these black bars. The video image does not fill the screen.

    This is easily fixed: change the value of the width of the ladder to 102.3 (uncheck scale uniform). That puts the image of the clip part in the good image format (and shoves the black bars on the left and right sides of screen). But I would rather change the scale of all the clips in a project.

    Since NTSC 720 x 480 pixels, if you want to show something to a 16:9 ratio, the format of the pixels is 1.185 instead of 1.2121.

    Maybe an Adobe engineer can explain why export HD widescreen NTSC creates a video with black vertical bars and how a 720 x 480 (with rectangular pixels with an aspect ratio 1.2121) clip can be considered as having a 16:9 aspect ratio.

    Hi Jeff,

    I run right on your post. It's old, but I was recently running into the same problems as you. It was difficult to get things straight for me, but eventually I found a German book that explained everything just at the point.

    16:9 = 1 777...

    HD uses square pixels (NOMINAL = 1.0) and if you check the two most common HD video formats and take your calculator 1920: 1080 = 1, 777... and 1280:720 = 1, 777... If two of them are 16:9 formats. (Exactly one would calculate 1920 (pixel) x 1.0 (NOMINAL): 1280 (pixel) x 1.0 (BY))

    Now, SD, we have an analog NTSC/PAL a a DV NTSC/PAL. To make it easy lets everything first, look at DV. The default resolution for DV NTSC is defined as 720 × 480, but DV don't we square pixel. It uses rectangular pixels. IRON for analog (!) 16:9 (!) NTSC is on 1,2154. So to convert DV pixel in square pixel world you must calculate 720 (pixel) x 1,2154 (RAP) = 875 square pixels.

    We are now ready for the surprise: 875:480 = 1,822916... !!! DV NTSC (such as PAL) are simply not true 16:9!

    This means that you cannot turn an HD image into a DV SD chassis without cropping or padding with black bars.

    Former first and AE in fact the tense a little framework to make the transformation. In the SOUL, you really need to choose one of three options: you can have the cropped HD, SD structure, padded with black frame or chassis SD stretched, which would distort the image somewhat, but not much. If you don't want to have the picuedistorted or have black bars you reframe then 28 (27) pixels from your image of the HD. This is why often 14 pixels each are cropped top and bottom. You can do this in the SOUL using the crop tool and set the output "suitable grandeur."

    So far, this explains your problem and shows you possible solutions. To understand why the DV NTSC and PAL are not 16:9, dig a little deeper into the analog world. It would take a little longer. For a simple and rough explanation consider that analog TV (NTSC/PAL) has no pixels. It is analog. So, ITU - R BT.601 defines how to enter video analog to the digital world. The sampling rate set translates a 711 x 486 NTSC image. Given that the HAND of the 1,2154 you get 864:486 = 1, 777... Then analog (16:9 anamorphic) PAL really is 16:9. Analog video NTSC DV convertd is padded with black bars to 720.

    This is all about analog/digital SD - TV. The black stripes are not on CRT TVs because of the overscan area. Today LCD and computer monitors can show the full 720 pixel, but always use overscan. Video is recorded digitally is normally recorded with the full 720 pixel. So we have the video that is not in 16 / 9. Therefore, you must manage the transformation, either with bars, cropping or distorting.

    Hope this has helped you Jeff.

  • How to make a DVD NTSC Pal & NTSC videos with CS3

    Hello!

    I'm on CS3 on Windows.

    I need to create a NTSC widescreen DVD from image NTSC and PAL. Some of the images is also 16:9 4:3 and a few.

    What would be the best way to achieve this.

    I created a widescreen NTSC project in Premiere CS3. Imported from all clips and arranged on the timeline.

    When you export to still or Media Encoder MPEG 2 DVD - I am constantly the error 'failed to return the video image. Or "an unexpected error has occurred." I can not able to burn and AVI. I have confirmed that all audio and video clips are time accurate and that there is no space between the frames on the timeline.

    I am able to burn successfully most of the clips individually (except one for about 20 + clips) - but fails when I export togetether.

    I am in a race against time, I have the very tight timetable, I need to do today :-(

    I would be grateful expert assistance on:

    (1) what might be causing this error - how can I solve this problem?

    (2) is the workflow that I use (combining all the clips as they are), the way to go - or do I need to do something before I handset/export them to NTSC DVD widescreen.

    Thank you.

    René

    DV format - this option will not let me select audio or video codec or bit rates - it is all grey.

    This is the one you need. In the worst case, you end up with type1. Then, you will need to get a converter from type1 to type2.

  • DVD NTSC gray menu without audio

    Hello

    I have been using Adobe Prem Pro 2.0, windows XP and using the menu integrated into Pro2 and works great in PAL.

    I exported it as a DVD NTSC and burned a NTSC copy works fine.

    However when it is played in the ona USA player any it has a menu gray and no audio is on the disk. I checked my settings and it looks that it exported very well.

    I even tested it until I sent him. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I'm still confused of multiplex. So if someone could explain what that's all. You'll have to bear with me while I try and enter it.

    I'm missing something here.

    For multiplexing, you will want to choose the option DVD button. What is happening now is that your exported file is actually two, an Audio-only and video only. Multiplexing will combine the two into one. When going from PrPro to DVD, you can the file multiplex resulting (multiplex). You have already selected (first screen) video & Audio, which is what you want. Just change the multiplexing.

    Now, since your destination folder, you could import the video again as a timeline and Audio as an asset. I'm doing this for my exports for use in Encore. A train just the Audio file in the project Panel to the timeline proper, where it snap into place. Repeat for all other Audio files.

    Hope this helps,

  • Models of DVD NTSC not installed

    Hello!  I am in the USA and if I remember right, the default installation is DV-NTSC and I let it go at that.  I don't think I'm wrong.  However, trying to change some templates in Photoshop, I noticed that all the names of model files are "pal_s" and "pal_w".  This occurred even with a second attempt to a full installation of the contents of the disc.  Something in the modified software that converts the previews and final output to your implementation project to NTSC, or do I have to get a different serial number, uninstall and reinstall?

    -Chris in Virginia

    Chris,

    Don't know of which version of Pr, you have, but it takes before PrPro 2.0, the latest version to include Menus and templates, DVD production.

    Normally, an installation, the full functional content compliment (name of Adobe for Menus, templates, etc.) is installed. Did you install from a file transfer or a DVD? The reason why I ask this question is that with downloads, there is a second file, with a built-in installer and it will add additional materials. From the DVD, I do a repair and installation when you arrive at the version of Pr, choose install functional content.

    Please tell us your exact version, as well as how you installed, download, or from a DVD.

    You should have PAL and NTSC. Now, in PrElements all the Menus/Templates are PAL, but the program will convert to NTSC. You do not have the elements, do you think?

    Good luck

    Hunt

    [Edit] Oops, he looked at the forum for the creation and not the forum elements. Odd. Of course, you have the items. The models ARE in PAL and pre will convert NTSC to you. Note: in the Meadow, you're dealing with two things: the semi-automatic creation and also Menu sets, that are used. When changes in PS, there are many considerations, many menus pre models, like so many things is semi-automatic.

    I think that it s doesn't know is not for you you will need to change the settings in the properties of the CD/DVD player to play DVDs from other regions of the world.

    Follow these steps:
    My computer-> properties of CD/DVD (right click)-> Hardware tab-> properties of CD Player / DVD-> DVD region tab

    Here you can choose country from the DVD.

    But note! You can change these settings ONLY 4 or 5 times (don't remember exactly) then the settings would fix and could not be changed.

  • First Pro sequence settings again

    I tried to transcode using again for a dvd I want to create (all work done in Premiere Pro 5.5). 12 hours later, transcoding is not finished. I want to try to make using Media encoder.

    First, I chose DVD MPEG-2, but I'm not sure other options.

    I shot this video in HD on a canon xh - a1. My logic was telling me to choose "Match Source attributes more high quality."

    or "NTSC progressive screen wide high quality", but I'm not sure I'm right.

    Can someone tell me if this would be OK?

    Also I put on DVD MUX or leave any?

    Sorry, rookie question here

    For the A1, I'd choose mpeg2-dvd NTSC widescreen high quality.

    Ensure that his game high-field (leave it interlaced) and multiplexer to offshore.

    VBR2.

    Multiplexer off because two files for video and one for audio who still likes better.

    If you set multiplexer on you get a single file.

  • Missing export presets

    Hello

    I'm missing a few presets in my After Effects CS4 rendering menu. If I compare the preset options for the same formats available in Adobe Media Encoder, it seems that I'm missing all the high quality presets.

    For example, if I choose MPEG2-DVD as my format, in After Effects only presets I have are NTSC widescreen 23.976 p medium quality, low quality of NTSC, NTSC medium quality, low quality PAL, PAL quality average.

    In Adobe Media Encoder, I have a lot of options such as progressive high quality NTSC, NTSC high quality over-codes for Dolby Digital 5.1, NTSC widescreen high quality, etc., etc.

    Is there a reason that I can't return to these levels of After Effects?  Or is it a problem with my installation?  I am running Adobe Master Collection CS4.

    Thank you

    Graham

    The option export windows look like so between the two programs, I would have taken the same software/render engine led the two programs, and they would both have the same export options.

    It's true, with the exception of 2-pass encoding, which is something that EI make the queue cannot do.

    So, if I want to get my AE comp returned to DVD NTSC widescreen 23.976 p high quality, is the best workflow to open Adobe Media Encoder and click Add After Effects Composition?  It seems that Adobe Media Encoder take advantage of all of my memory and the processor cores the way AE done.

    You can do and multiprocessing should work, but a model of AE by using 2-pass rendering encoding will take about twice as long. So it's a good idea, except if you need 2 pass encoding. In this case, you can make a video file without loss of the AE and use it as a source in the SOUL. The AME Encoder will be really fast, because there is no need to restore the model, just encode. Make sure that you enable 2 pass encoding in autonomous SOUL (set "" VBR, 2 pass"encoding Bitrate. I don't think that one of the presets SOUL activate 2 pass.

  • Media PAL NTSC DVD

    Hello

    I live in a neighborhood PAL, PAL 1080i media and normally create DVDs by selecting MPEG2-DVD / game Source attributes more high quality.

    I want to send a DVD to a friend in the United States.

    I tried selecting MPEG2-DVD and changed the TV standard in the basic video NTSC settings.

    But still gave an error on each element of the queue.

    I can probably depend on a player of my friend to read a DVD created in PAL, but I'm curious as to why I get the error.

    Can anyone help?

    The error indicates

    Transcoding can not progress due to a or several video settings defined in correctly(error code = 0x16387).

    Thanks for the replies.

    Ann, Yes, I always encode in Pr then import from to to.  Apart from technical considerations, it is much faster if you have lots of segments.

    Also, I upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 - have updated my profile.

    My problem turned out to be the TV standard has been set to PAL in the project properties.

    I had to create a new project and specify NTSC.  Then everything properly imported and built the s drive.

    I had used a PAL project deleted media and re-imported the NTSC ones.

    Once created in a project, you cannot change the TV standard.  You specify the TV standard.at moment of creation of the project.

  • HIGHLIGHTS HD Blu - ray DVD project - built at-SD and BUTTON TEXT

    I use Encore CS4 on a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I drafted a Blu - ray and built my menu inside Photoshop CS4. The menu is 1920 x 1080 and has several buttons text. The buttons are consisting of a layer group ' (+) button name ' with a text on the inside layer. Initially, I selected the option 'Create text subpicture' for each button on the inside yet. I tried later to create inside each button subpicture layers defined in photoshop by creating "(= 1) button subpicture" layers within each group of 'name of the button (+)'.

    I have set up my games color and in the preview again and engraved on a Blu - ray disc button highlights look crisp and clear. I then try to generate output of DVD on a DVD format disc. My highlights of the menu are very irregular and the edges of the text seem to be cut off (I see the color of the normal state).

    I made sure to disable antialiasing on all my text buttons. I also expect a lot of reminder of the downscaling ability? If I resize my menu from 1920 x 1080 to 720 x 480 and replace it BY NTSC widescreen in Photoshop and then start with a new DVD project in everything seems fine. I hope not having to rebuild the chapter menus and button routing every time I create a project both BD and DVD.

    The buttons of my chapter menus work fine. Don't know what the difference with the exception of a different color welcomes you. I compared the menus in photoshop and all settings appear to be the same.

    The downscaling of the menus again from HD to SD quality is absolutely horrible. That's why I always build separate projects for Blu - ray and DVD, despite the ability of the program to output DVD and Blu - ray for a single project. You will get much better quality by reduction of scale your menus in Photoshop.

    My company creates motion menu to recall model kits, and we create a separate button for each format highlights (HD, SD, PAL) in Photoshop for our products, simply because of the unacceptable quality of the downscaling of the still.
