Good ideas coming here guys thanks.

I will def get them to check if the TV has a USB slot, this would save a lot of effort.

If not perhaps Jeffs soloution is best, a blueray player should work fine.

I appreciate all the feedback, many thanks.

Hi Roger thanks for your reply, I tired to convert as mpeg 4 on Mpeg Streamclip but it comes out as a .mp4 file which apparently does not work on the dvd player in question…

I ended up getting name of DVD and I emailed the company, they advised that .mp4 should work but the pen drive in question should have nothing on it but the file that they wanted played, I am hoping this will work and I wont need to worry about converting.

I always thought that .mp4 was mpeg4 but apparently not…

@Nick, yeah VLC was sorta last resort, will take a look at that Adobe Media Encoder, thanks for recommendation.

Hi Nick, thank you for your reply. I don’t have compressor but have considered it for some time, perhaps now is finally the time to buy it.

They want it to play on a dvd player but not a dvd, the idea is they want to change the video quite frequently, with updated products (which is good news for me) so they don’t want it on a dvd but rather an removable pendrive. Meaning I can send them updated video and they can just save to pen and put on screen.

I have been messing about on my old mbp and some older programs seem to be offering me a solution, whatever version of VLC I have on old laptop, is different to my imac and seems it offers .mpg as an export. Only problem is the sound didn’t export, but that may be a simple mistake I made. Also the current video they want has no sound so it wouldn’t matter anyway. just waiting on word back from them to see if my tester works.

Fingers crossed…

Thank you so much Simon, you just saved me a ton of work 🙂 I spent lots of time reading trying to get this issue sorted, heck I even considered bringing clip into old FCP.

Really appreciated, bookmarked your webpage to go back and see what else you have when the time allows it.

Thanks again.

Hey, sorry for digging up an old post, just wondering if a good solution ever came up for this. I really miss the way feathering used to be, finding it hard now. Any suggestions I find in forums or videos say use mask but my 10.2.1 doesn’t have that mask. Is it named something new now?
