    As a nice cross religious Christmas celebrating consumer I will always vote for matzoh ball soup as a favorite holiday treat. So delicious and a great way to warm up on a cold Christmas morning, those latkes would be great for soup dipping.

    You could try exporting a .wav file using media encoder and re-importing that into file your project.

    Hi Ann,

    Thanks for the reply. I understand that I can add encore chapter markers within premiere. What I am looking for is a way to add chapter markers to an ipod video(mp4/m4v) file without using quicktime pro.

    Hi Ted,

    You could try using your ripping software to rip an mp3/wav file of your DVD to then match up to the picture once in premiere.
    Another good program for ripping DVDs is MPEG streamclip (https://www.squared5.com/)but if on a mac you will need QT pro installed if on a pc then you can use Quicktime alternative (https://www.filehippo.com/download_quicktime_alternative/)

    Both are free programs. I have had good results with these programs and often rip have to rip the video and audio separately in order to import into premiere.

    Apples, lots of coffee and either a grapefruit or an orange help me start the morning right. But those omelets sound tasty.

    Mark brings up a good issue about the weight. Having used both kits, I thought the lowell kit seemed kind of flimsy while the arri kit was very rugged. The arri light stands were a lot more stable and the instruments and case more likely to survive a plane ride. I have also traveled with both and the arri always made it to my destination in one piece with no damage to the lights/lamps while the lowell case ended up with a light stand poking through the case, a damaged onmni and a couple broken lamps. Just some more food for thought. Good luck with your decision.

  • Hi Genavieve,
    Here is another option:
    With camera’s VCR mode set to HDV and the capture mode in CS4 set to HDV you can digitize your tapes as mpeg2 files. You can then edit these HDV mpeg2 files in a 16×9 or 4×3 SD timeline depending on what you want for a final product however you will have to re-size the footage to the smaller frame size. In CS4 you can edit, preview and export without having to render your footage.

    When you are making the DVD render out an mpeg 2 using the mpeg2-DVD preset. Drag the quality up to 5. Select either constant bitrate or variable bitrate. Make sure you specify 4:3 or 16:9 for the DVD to match your sequence settings and voila you are ready to burn.

    Hi Pat,

    Have you tried editing from the WD external drive? It may work more smoothly for you.

    Hi Dee,

    Are you running any other programs in the background? I had this problem before upgrading to CS4, try using a program called enditall to close all nonessential programs before starting premiere or reinstall the suit. That fixed the problem on one of the machines I was running CS3 on.

    Hi Mike,

    What are your delivery specs? If your client needs an uncompressed format then try the uncompressed microsoft avi setting from the pulldown then set your frame size to 1280×720. You could also use h 264 setting and again resize the frame size to match your sequence. Check the output window of the export dialog box to ensure that it is the same as your input.

    Are you sure that your sequence size is correct?
