Still working out this eps issue..

I have converted the eps file to a jpeg but all I see is black when I open it up. I have been told that it may have something to do with the alpha channel settings? I may need to invert the current alpha settings. If anyone can expand on this subject I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tiffani –

I will take your advice and have the file sent to me again. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Tiffani –

Excellent source of information. Thank you very much, I have saved it in my favorites. However, I continue to have problems opening MY eps file. I forwarded it to a friend who said they had no problem opening it up in the same version of photoshop I have. Hmmm??
Someone else told me if I sent it to them, they would convert it to a PDF and send it back to me. This is all well and good but doesn’t help me for future files. I would really like to learn to do this for myself.
Can you explain to me how to rasterize this file. What information should I put in the menu? (Height, Width, Resolution) When should I click ‘Anti-aliased’ vs. ‘Constrain Proportions’
The ‘Rasterize Gerneric EPS Format’ menu which I keep getting has these settings: Image Size: 91K, Width 4.343 inches, Height 0.885 inches, Resolution 78 pixels/inch, Mode CMYK Color and the ‘Constrain Proportions’ box is checked.

Thanks so much!!

Tiffani,
Thanks for your reply. I am now back up and running with photoshop 7. However, I am still stuck with my original problem:

I am trying to open an .eps file When I click ‘run’ I get a menu in photoshop titled ‘Rasterize Generic EPS Format’ If I click OK I get a message stating photoshop could not open the file because the parser module cannot parse the file?

Any help and/or leads where to find information on rasterize and parse would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

PS I plan to re-post this message under a new heading as well.

I hope you have figured out the problem by now. There are many variables at play here.

1) What type of media are you using?
2) Is your audio on one or two channels?
3) Are you getting both channels of audio from your DVD player to your TV?

Just a few things to consider..

Good Luck

FYI – I now have to make 13 copies (thats 26 disks total) and it is taking about 30 minutes per disk. On top of that it takes an extra 30 minutes or so to burn a label to the disk using ‘Lightscribe’
Thats at least 26 hours of burning, flipping, burning, etc..

Good thing my work is a labor of love……..

Rich, thanks for the valuable info. I had no problem burning to a ‘folder’ but I just couldn’t get the ‘burn’ icon to hilight when I had ‘disk’ clicked.
I finally did get it work somehow.. but I had to reduce the quality to fit it on one DVD and it did not look good.
In the end I did split my project into two parts and am now able to burn to dvd through NERO utilizing the two folders I created.

Thanks so much for your input,

I have a 500GB external hard drive with 495 GB of free space.. however, when I try to send my 2.5 hour video (31.5 GB)to this device the premiere pro menu says “Space required is more than 4.7 GB.”
What am I missing here??

Richard & Lord,

Thank you for the info. However I think I need more specific instructions. I have been able to burn small 1-2 min. videos with no problem. I have been burning them through a Nero program. (Nero however will not recognize the dual-layer disks I put in the machine??) So now I am back to trying to burn to DVD directly from the Premiere Pro 2.0 timeline.
As I stated earlier.. when I click File>Export the ‘Burn’ menu is not hilited. I gather from your most recent post this is due to a lack of space on my hard-drive. I do have a 500 GB external hard-drive available.
My questions now are…

1) How do I direct the material to the external drive.
2) What are the steps to burn the video from the external hard drive to a dvd disk?
3) When in Premiere Pro should I export the video to DVD or to Movie?

I would really like to burn my disks from Premiere Pro because I have authored the dvd with a title page and chapter settings..In Nero the options for this are limited.
The video typically saves as a windows media file. (I have not had any trouble with the smaller videos in this file type.) Do I need to convert it to a different file type?

By the way, a friend told me when I burn “movie” to go into the settings menu on the pop up screen and turn off ‘recompress’ under the video menu page. I was told the video will look better? Ever heard of that.

Uh oh.. I was in the process of burning my video to my external hard drive and got a pop-up saying not enough space available. Hmmm another hurdle. I will look into this and try again. Please help.

Thanks in advance,

I have tried double-layer DVDs with 8.5gb and 240 min. of video space but the menu STILL says “Insufficient disk space for burning” ?????
