hmmm, okay, it doesn’t like mp2, that’s funny…
so, I only have the mp2 file and ae.. if I would import the mp2 and export is a movie to any other, it will not work, because ae can’t handle mp2… what a shame…

so, which free software I can use to convert the mpg2 file to any other file ae can handle…. ???

thx,
bernhard

well, I don’t want to split, I want to cut my original file into two pieces.

I don’t want to burn a DVD. I want to keep my original files, and burn it onto a data disc, nothing more.

media4pc is just a compressor, that splits files, like winrar or other tools.

That’s not what I want to do.

I want to cut my original footage into two seperate peices, and burn that on a DVD.

thx a lot,

well, the reason why I would like to use AE, is the great plugin Shine from Trapcode, it’s really perfect, and I’ve never could see such a similar effect made with Photoshop.

Hmm, or can we reach the same result in Photoshop too ?

thx a lot…

[Bernhard Rieder]

okay, I do understand now.

Let’s ask right question: I want to know, which format I do have to export from AE, to make a DVD in a Authoring Software ?

If I would export uncompressed, I get 180 GB for 1h20 minutes.
So, I would like to know, whihc format I have to export, to get a smaller size of file, but not lossing quality, and so that I can use this format in my authoring tool.

thx a lot….

Hmm, well, I thought a regular DVD has an mpg2 format ?
And what shoudl I export to make a DVD fro AE ?

thx a lot.

[Bernhard Rieder]

oh yes, I forgot, do I need to buy a DVD mp2 codec ?
I can select DVD Format in AE, but can’t select High Quality and save these settings….

what do I need for ?

thx a lot.

[Bernhard Rieder]

Hmm, ins’t there no other way ?
Is it not possible to export from AE a DVD format ?

That’s really strange….

[Bernhard Rieder]

Thank you for your replies.

Flash video converter ?
No, I don’t have this tool….

Is it for free ?
Where I can get to download ?

Thx a lot, I really appreciate every little help !

yes, and I’v made another test, just saved a jpg file image pure white, after this I’ve added some spheres, shapes, color, shadows… and the image size pumped up…..

never didn’t realized that…. thx a lot my friends.

[Bernhard Rieder]

wow, that’s really interesting, I didnt know that.
Because I thought if you made some animations, it’s nothing else than images, or better an image sequence.

If I would use these images in Flash, well… I would use 141 images for each movie. I thouht it doesn’t matter which images, because every image has the same size.

And so the content of the image… well, I thought wouldn’t matter.

I can remember, I did some flash animations 5 years ago, and I’ve loaded the image sequence into my flash scene, just one layer.

Hmmm, so I am still wondering that it makes a difference what is happening on the images, or better the content.

Or maybe this is just the export from After Effects, I think that would need another test to get sure…

as I said, I just can’t imagine that an image with 1024×300 with a ball on it, and a second image with 3 or 4 balls on it, and the same resolution has another size……

hmm, but guess what, as more I think about, I think you are right, it must be this point, like more balls –> more color information, bigger size of the image.

hmmm…. however,
thx a lot for all your minds and suggestions.
