Exporting Chapter Marks to AvidDVD

tikboy — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:43:32 GMT

Hi,

I really want to know how to export chapter marks from Avid's timeline. I know that you can do this inside the DVD app., but I still find this really useful when working with a long form project and you need accurate marking.

We're currently working on a two-hour seminar DVD and the marks can be easily and accurately done in the timeline itself. It's just a challenge to scrub through a two-hour title on the AvidDVD timeline.

I used to watch the tutorial on a training DVD that came with our installers but we lost it somehow.

Can someone please list down the steps?...or point me to a link somewhere?

Thank you.

Subtitle Workflow

Yasch — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:15:01 GMT

I'm looking for a good workflow for subtitles. We produce our videos subtitled in 5 languages. Our current workflow consists of Word Documents, Macros, PSD files with actions. We're looking for a new system, possibly including the Subcap effect, to create these subtitles as an SST file, as we author our DVDs with Scenarist.

External Blu-ray Burner and Software combo pack...

GGawne — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:40:27 GMT

Hi Online Forum-ites,

Anyone have reccomendations on an External Blu-ray burner that works well with Media Composer 3.0 (soon to upgrade to 3.5)? I see the LG and Sony drives out there, but would like to hear some hands on use whilst connected to an Avid 3.0MC or above... Also, I currently have the Adobe Encore (CS3 release version) for authoring. Any line on that? I haven't yet cracked the case on it, and if I'm making the investment for the right drive and the right software, wordering out loud what combo people have had good experiences with?

(As opposed to the countless nights up trying to figure it out senario we've all been through...)

Many thanks

How to create a non-looping DVD from the One Step DVD option

mfreeburn — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:47:29 GMT

Does anyone have any hints or knowledge on how to create a non-looping DVD from the " Send to" "One Step DVD" option. Is this a preference or setting that needs to be selected?

DVD authoring - loop movies

markyramone — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:48:03 GMT

Can anyone recommend DVD authoring software where you can set a "loop" end action for each individual movie (where there are multiple movies on one DVD)?

Some background first. My workflow is: Export Quicktime reference, encode MPEG (DVDPal Large) in Squeeze, author encoded file in DVDit. These are the applications that came bundled with Avid and are lite versions with limited settings.

My problem is while I can set loop end actions in DVDit, my final product is no longer high quality. The resolution is less than if I make a straight dub from the Avid timeline with digital cut to a stand alone DVD recorder. My guess is that the material is being compressed twice, once in Squeeze then again in DVDit. As far as I can see you can't set DVDit lite to not compress again. Or can you?

So I'm looking for alternative authoring software. Any suggestions, advice pleae?
