DVL-Digest 1577 - Postings: Index migrating lobsters Neutral Density Premiere Output for DVD migrating lobsters - "Don Mitchell" here's a reference along with a badly-reproduced journal article. The article _might_ have what you want, but I can't tell because the photos are so dark. http://www.bio.unc.edu/courses/2002spring/biol105/herrnlob.p df I'd say that you'd have a good chance at getting what you want if you contact an organzation like WHOI (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute). I did a quick search on their site and came up empty, but a well-directed email or telephone call might do the trick. www.whoi.edu Don Mitchell Neutral Density - "Perry Mitchell" From: Ron I have a PDX10 coming this week to replace my VX1000 that died. In Sony's "wisdom" they apparently left out the neutral density filter on this camera. Premiere Output for DVD - "Perry Mitchell" From: Bill Hi Greg. If you have DVD burner and DVD burning software, it is certainly possible to transfer an MPEG2 "movie" (video and sound) file to a DVD disc. You can also play the MPEG2 file with almost every computer. It would also not play on almost every standalone DVD player. If you want to play the "MPEG2 movie" on a DVD player you must create a "Video_TS" folder that includes your MPEG2 file as well as other information that is needed by standalone DVD players. Also your DVD burner must recognize a Video_TS folder and interpret and interpolate it to include control information that the DVD player expects to see. A typical process is to edit your video, then export it as MPEG2, then load it into "DVD software" such as DVD Workshop, then if you wish (optional but not necessary) create a menu of "titles" with "chapters" and other possible "links", then create a Video_TS folder or a disc image, then burn same to a DVD disc. This disc would be recognized and played by most DVD players. I hesitate to mention this but you would still not have a standard NTSC disc. PAL specs for DVDs recognize MPEG2 files with sound and video but NTSC specs say that this is an optional but not required format. This means some (mostly older) players would play the video without sound. To make a proper NTSC DVD you must export your sound and video as separate files. The video should be MPEG2 and the sound should be LPCM (a .wav file is LPCM). The LPCM file may be used with or without conversion to AC3 format. (to save space). If this seems obscure and overly arcane at first - welcome to the club. It's not as difficult as it sounds. There are a great many software packages that do the above relatively painlessly. I mentioned DVD Workshop because it is easy to use and gives you a number of options that you may want to explore. Also if you tell it to, DVD Workshop will not re-encode your already good MPEG2 file. Most DVD burners come with some kind of software that will get you started. Expect to spend a month of frustration while learning to make the perfect DVD. (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
