Hei,

I´m also trying to create a seamless loop, with video and audio. My audio ends and starts with a high volume. Playback Pro works, but cannot afford it at the moment. I´m testing the Ableton free trial, and it adds a black frame for the video and a pause for the audio. Can I avoid that extra frame somehow?

Yeah, I did, didn´t do the trick. I´m using a mouse, maybe a pen would be more accurate.

Aha, thank you! That wil probably do the trick. I´m new to AE. I´ll let you know how it works out.

Hei Noah,

I gave up, and are now trying a different process. Creating a VideoTS and AudioTS folder from the HD1920*1080 material. The plan is to burn it through Toast as VideoTS / AudioTS folders.

In DVD Studio Pro I get these options when I choose Build/Format to harddrive:
-IMG, creates HVDVD_TS folder with BUP/IFO/ EVO files: VLC / QT player won´t recognise it.
-DDP3.00, creates DAT/XML files: VLC / QT player won´t recognise it.
-CMF creates DAT / XML / BUP / IFO / EVO files: it runs through VLC & QT player, but with a flickering image (though with good resolution) and strong buzzing in the audio.

Through Encore I can´t seem to get the Timeline to be 1920*1080, it just scales it down to 720*576 automatically.

I don´t know if you´re used to Encore / DVD studio Pro, if you have a different suggestion on how to create VideoTS / AudioTS folder from HD material, please let me know 🙂

Thanks a heap!

Hei, again Brent.
Encore does a better job, but I still have some nasty lines in the movements. I don´t know too much about Gop settings and Bitrate settings. Could you help?

My source video exported from FCP using current settings:
1920*1080, 25 fps, Lower, Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ), Linear PCM, HD (1-1-1), 48 HZ Stereo.

In Encore these are my export choices:
Video format:
*Mpeg2-DVD (I can´t make it as a BluRay, so I´m guessing this is right)

Basic Video Settings:
*Quality: 1 – 5 (which should I choose?)
*Field order: None(progressive)/Upper/Lower (which should I choose?)
*Pixel Aspect Ratio: Standard 4:3 / Widescreen (which should I choose?)

Bitrate Settings:
Minimum Bitrate: 1,5 – 9 (which should I choose?)
Target Bitrate: 1,5 – 9 (which should I choose?)
Maximum Bitrate: 1,5 – 9 (which should I choose?)

GOP settings:
M Frames: 2 – 8 (which should I choose?)
N Frames: 10 / 15 (which should I choose?)

Audio Settings:
128 / 160 / 192 / 224 / 320 / 384 / 448 (which should I choose?)

And that was a lot of questions, but hope you can help! 🙂

Hei, thanks for your respons. I´ve used DVD BEST QUALITY in Compressor…, still looks bad. I haven´t tried Encore yet, I should try that.

Thanks!

Hi Chris. Yeah, I can relink all the clips, but it switches back to offline. I´ve tried to render it as well. It´s funny, I can still play it and export it, and everything looks normal. If they really were offline, I shouldn´t have been able to do that.
hmmm…
