I regularly use Encore CS4 for DVD authoring, from Premiere Pro sequences. Usually, I do it in "automatic", so the application decides the transcoding bitrate and other parameters. A 90 minutes DVD usually last around 5 hours.</p> <p>However, I was not satisfied with the results. I shoot HDV and the quality of raw footage and DVD were totally different. The DVD just don't look too bad, but not near professional.</p> <p>My footage is most live dance events, so fast motion is the norm. </p> <p>I tested with manual transcoding parameters: VBR, 2 pass, target 6, max 8 min 2, and the process took 25 hours in a Core 2 Quad with 8 Gb RAM for 90 minutes video. </p> <p>I am surprise for the time, considering the system is quite powerfull. Is this normal?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/streaming-playback-issue-sound-wont-play-through-pc-speakers#post-52943 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 07:04:40 +0000 sswiller 52943@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK...

I have a project I need to get finished and ran into a encoding/compiling error.</p> <p>Here's the deal:</p> <p>I am making a wedding video that I filmed. I would say 85% of it was shot onto mini HDV while the rest was done with a camera that uses AVCHD. The problem came when I exported the ceremony clip. We shot the ceremony with both cameras (both formats). CS4 let me bring import both into my timeline and i worked with both without a problem. Come time to encode and I get an "unknown error". I realized that it was saving the video up to the point where the AVCHD format first shows up. Sooo i copied my work and in the copy took out all the AVCHD material and walla .. it encoded. </p> <p>My question/problem:</p> <p>Is there any export settings or sequence settings that will allow me to have both formats in my timeline and still be able to encode the movie/scene? Or is this even my problem? Feel free to let me know what I am doing wrong or where i misspoke; I have been away from the movie editing hobby for a long time.. </p> <p> </p> <p>thanks, </p> <p>Bryan</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/streaming-playback-issue-sound-wont-play-through-pc-speakers#post-52503 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:27:30 +0000 sswiller 52503@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I will have to try this next time the issue occurs.  @XTR-91, yeah the PC speakers are working.  This doesn't affect all videos that we have posted online, just certain videos recorded on MiniDV with a Canon XL2.  We use a lav mic plugged into the front mic jack (1/8").</p> <p>Thanks for the responses.  I will followup on this thread at a later date.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/streaming-playback-issue-sound-wont-play-through-pc-speakers#post-52497 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:07:10 +0000 XTR-91 52497@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Does anything else play on your PC speakers? This could possibly be a sound processing problem due to the electrical specs (e.g. impedance) of your computer's speakers. Your PC's speakers may also have been damaged, having an internal problem of their own.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/streaming-playback-issue-sound-wont-play-through-pc-speakers#post-52492 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:07:00 +0000 composite1 52492@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Yeah, that sounds like you didn't export your video clips out with .WAV audio files. If the PC using Media Player either doesn't have AIFF selected as playable or it doesn't have that audio codec then you get nada. If you exported your clip in QT with AIFF files and the PC has QT player on it, it should play uncompressed audio with no prob. BTW, what video format an audio format did you export out to?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/streaming-playback-issue-sound-wont-play-through-pc-speakers#post-52486 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:45:57 +0000 cfulton 52486@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Have you tried changing your audio from uncompressed (probably AIFF) to something like MP3?

For some strange reason, when the videos are viewed on PCs, the sound doesn't play out of the PC Speaker. It only plays when you connect headphones or external speakers to the headphone jack. I can't figure out why. One thing I've noticed is that when I change the audio panning in FCP to '0,' I get no sound at all.
