With such issues, you need to know how to convert AVI to MPEG format on Mac. That is especially when it comes to video formats that are compatible with Apple devices being very few. It is very hard to play any files on the Mac device. 2.17 Export Windows Live Movie Maker in AVI.2.15 Convert Windows DVD Maker Video to AVI.2.14 Convert Windows Movie Maker Video to AVI.Larry replies: Bill, this is a great tip and something I didn’t know.AVI TRY IT FREE TRY IT FREE 1. MUCH faster than downconverting in FCP or Compressor and I think it looks better than FCP and possibly as good as Compressor. Please note that changes apply ONLY to subsequent projects, so check/change you preferences and then start the project. That should handle at least 30 minutes, if it balks at that, choose High Quality. Much faster and looks fine, especially if you choose Professional Quality in the preferences iDVD>Preferences>Projects>Encoding>Professional Quality. File> Export>QuickTime Movie using current settings, (ie, you will end up with a 1440×1080 QT file) and let iDVD do the conversion to SD. ![]() When I work with HDV and am looking to output an SD DVD, I let iDVD do all the heavy lifting. This displays your movie at 16:9 on TV sets that support 16:9, and automatically letter-boxes your movie for TVs that only display 4:3.įor me, this third option provides the fastest workflow (no additional rendering in Final Cut Pro), highest quality (Compressor does a better job than Final Cut Pro), and greatest flexibility (16:9 and 4:3 support, depending upon what the TV set displays). Import your movie into DVD Studio Pro and place it into a 16:9 track. Export your sequence from Final Cut Pro as HDV. This option letter-boxes everything and could cause problems with 16:9 TV sets. This works, but I prefer to have letter-boxing turned on only for those TV sets that require it. Import your movie into DVD Studio Pro and place it into a 4:3 track. This automatically down-samples your movie to SD and compresses it for DVD. (Use the Current Settings option with File > Export > QuickTime movie.)Ĭompress the file using Compressor using the appropriate DVD Best Quality settings from the Apple > DVD folder. Export your sequence from Final Cut Pro as an HDV movie. This is an improvement on your method and it works, but I tend not to use it, as I prefer how Compressor changes the size of a clip. Now that you’ve properly configured the timeline, everything should be properly letter-boxed. (This dialog first appeared in FCP 6.)ĭelete the clip you just pasted into the timeline.Ĭopy your entire HDV sequence and paste it into the Timeline. This tells Final Cut not to change the sequence settings to match your clip. Then, copy and paste JUST ONE HDV CLIP into this new sequence. You can use DV/NTSC, but I prefer using DV50 – the files are twice as big, but the image quality is better. ![]() Blu-ray Discs (and its cousin, AVCHD Discs) are the only options for high-def media on optical discs. When you want to put video on a DVD, it must be standard-def, not high-def. Larry replies: Not necessarily, but probably - it’s a new dialog starting with FCP 6.īefore we start, let me stress something you mentioned. Have they changed something in the new version of FCP? I have tried this – now, and it does not work. I then rendered it and saved it (it took a time for this) – but it worked. I then opened a new project – and set the Easy setting to DV-NTSC and “pasted” the copied file into the new project. I have previously done this by editing in HDV – when finished I highlighted my time line and copied it. ![]() I am only using FCP and Toast 9 (I have their Plug in HD/BD plug in). ![]() black bars top and bottom – showing a 16:9 image).Ĭan you tell me in simple talk how to achieve my goal. I now need to be able to burn a “letterbox” version (i.e. Edited it on a iMac using the latest version of FCP. [ This article was first published in the January, 2010, issue of
