Sorry, I have never heard or read of Tina, I dont work with Pal, and I dont know what the PGC error is, but the first thought that came to me was this: could the error msg be a Codec issue?
Regarding your concern for 2 file types in B., that is normal the primary file types I work with in Encore are m2v/wav. Simply import both and drag both into the same timeline; Encore loves them. It seems you can get m2v/wavs de-multiplexed from the Tina avi, so what is that error in A. really about, since you may have succeeded? Regarding your Question 2, no, one cannot simply copy those files to a DVD; DVDs use mpeg-2 laid down in a particular format; the avi needs to be converted to mpeg2 for the DVD. But wait - you have already produced m2v/wav files, which is the correct format for Encore to use to write to a DVD. If your AP will make them repeatedly, just let Encore write to the DVD for you! Regarding next thought about testing avi>DVD tools: again, sounds more like a codec issue than a tool issue. Regarding Question 3, yes, those are the exact four files I see produced by AP when exporting, they are not a result of any of the parameters you specified, though. Remember, what is imported into Encore is the m2v and wav files; put them both on the same timeline; they will be synced correctly. For your final thought, remember that file types/formats, DVD structure/hierarchy, codec algorithms, and compression parameters are four entirely different things; you will not want to confuse any of them with any other. Hopefully of some help Lee From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matts W Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 5:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AP] AVI to DVD Issue: No tool seems to convert the Tina avi-file in the right way. My goal is to soon cool down and burn that avi to a DVD and watch it smoothly on the telly. Yes, the Philips DVP5500S-player deals with MPEG2, MPEG1 and MPEG4. The footage is done in real 16:3 with a 3CCD cam. Plan A is to use Adobe Premiere CS3 (AP) and export Tina to Adobe Encore (EN) for rendering/conversion and DVD-burning. There are no menus in the edited film. During the build process EN gives up and leaves a PGC error message well known and mentioned in several posts in Adobe´s forums. Plan B must be to convert one or two files and burn them to a dvd disk. Well, AP/EN produces two files Tina.M2V (mpeg)560 MB and Tina.WAV 215 MB. Question 1: Can those two files be of any help in achieving my goal? In AP I export Tina as Movie with DV PAL compressor, Microsoft DV AVI, Bit Depth: Using project setting, Optimize Stills, Uncompressed audio. After rendering this brought forth 19:36 minutes and 3,68 GB Tina.AVI, 1536 kbit/sec, compression MC_DVD, video sampling 24 bits. I simply burned this file to a 4,7 GB DVD, naively hoping it should play, but it did not. Question 2: Why? During the last week I have tested Tina.AVI together with more than a dussin AVI to DVD tools, Avi2DvD, AVS, Cucusoft, Debut, DVD Flick, DVDforger, FormatFActory, X2DVD, Win AVI, you name them. The worst result is when nothing at all happens when I insert the disk, not even a loading sign appears on the t eve screen. The best is with WinAVI when Tina loads and starts playing but slows down and freezes after 20 seconds. I have also (in AP) exported Tina to Adobe Media Encoder using those settings No filters, Video codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, PAL, 720*576, 25 fps, Field order: Lower, Quality 3, Wide 16:9 VBR, 1 pass, Min 1,50, Target 4,00, Max 7,00 Mbps Audio: 48 kHz, 16 bit, Codec: PCM Audio Multiplexor: None This generates four new Tina files XMP, M2V.XMPSES, WAV and M2V, the first two are some Adobe metadata. Question 3: Can those files be of any use for me? In previous versions of AP one could rather easily produce working dvd:s The file structure on those is the one with video_ts and audio_ts under the root and then bup, iso and vob-files. Question 4: How does this nice working _ts structure relates to the type of conversion and settings made in different converters? Thanks in advace for any explanation, hint or theory why Tina doesn´t show up on the telly?_,_._,___ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
