  • exported with h.264 and no video, just audio

    Hi There!

    I shot a wedding with my EX1 xd cam in 1080i 30p. I exported using quicktime conversion and followed the steps from Ken Stone’s site using H.264 codec. I switched the “Key Frames” to Automatic and the frame rate at 15fps. When I go to import the movie in DVDSP (in HD), I can only see the audio, not video. Is there a certain frame rate I should have it on? Am I doing something else wrong? I want the quality of my HD video to look great on DVD.

    Thanks!

    Are you attempting to make a HD DVD? If so that format was DISCONTINUED as a media format before Apple was able to offer full support (it only had partial support at the time HD DVD was done away with)

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    Hi Kimberly,
    Is possible to toast a HD in a standard DVD, but check the setting you are using.
    15fps is a speed for web videos or so, but no for any quality/standard video. Keep the speed of your original video.

    Hi Rafael~
    Thanks for the feedback! I didn’t know 15fps was for webvideo so I’m glad I can eliminate that! But I did build it in DVDSP and burned it in Toast and the picture looks horrible-exported as a regular quicktime movie. I don’t know what to do and I’m trying to get this out in 2 days! What am I doing wrong to get this awful quality?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Kimberly,
    I really have n experience about HD DVDs.
    What I know is that people are using MPG-2 to dot hem. At least the people are doing BluRay are using high data rate MPG-2.
    In theory you can print H264, but for I don’t know the reason, it seems that they don’t work.

    Cheers,
