I’m at a loss then, sorry

I also just tried 1000% speed with Frame Blending, literally took just a few seconds to export YouTube 1080p and looks fine, done on Core i5 office machine.

Do you have any other media to test this on? Maybe it is something to do with the video source – what are the specs of the problem clip – where does it come from?

Thanks

Hi Gabriel,

I don’t know if this will help you at all, but at the bottom right of Effects Bin, there is a folder icon that allows you to create a Custom Bin (which can be renamed). I keep all of my most often-used effects in my Custom Bin and keep that “open” so that any effect is readily available to drag and drop into my timeline without searching through a bunch of different folders each and every time.

Thanks

What other effects might you be applying? Seems unreasonable that a new machine would take that kind of render time just for speed change and frame blending. Can we see a screen shot of your export settings please?

Thanks

I just entered the following Google search: youtube live streaming music copyright

Quite a wealth of information available on the subject

Thanks

Hi Ann,

I had the Topaz software and this was before HD video came out. Topaz used NASA-type resolution enhancement algorithms to produce high-res stills from SD video. It would compare the current frame to those around it to pull additional detail. Worked very well for me at the time, nice results.

Thanks

Rule #1: Defaults are the defaults for a reason, meaning those are the most appropriate settings for “most instances”. Human nature is to automatically set all sliders to “Max Quality” but there may or may not be any benefit to doing this. So when trying something new, start with the defaults before you being playing with a bunch of settings that could have unforeseen consequences.

About audio – exporting PCM creates a .wav file (uncompressed). By default, Encore will actually transcode that to Dolby for you, unless you have changed the Encore project settings to use PCM audio.

Thanks

Not a Mac guy, sorry. However, I’ve had PCs that did not by default open/play DVDs, some needed third-party DVD player software installed. So it’s not a given that a computer will automatically be equipped to play DVDs I guess, though it ought to be the case! I guess the “Subject” line threw me off course earlier when I thought you couldn’t open the DVD at all.

Thanks

I missed the part of the original post that said you COULD open the DVD on another computer, sorry! Yes, HandBreak is a good option to try. You didn’t mention what software you are editing with. Adobe Premiere can directly import .vob files (copy from DVD to hard drive first before import) so that might also be something to try.

Thanks

Cameras don’t shoot DVDs (though years ago some did record to smaller-sized discs). More likely is that the shooter had the camera output running into a DVD Recorder. Think of a VHS deck, but accepting DVDs instead. Once you are done recording one of those discs, it must be finalized in the recorder. Could be that the finalize step was skipped, so the disc is not yet playable.
