A Little Help Please

[Rick28]

Hi all,

 

I bought Roxio Creator 2009 for 2 reasons. To upload our racing videos to youtube and to create a single DVD with many of our races on it... edited to my liking of course.

 

Problem #1) I can create a 'movie' with all the footage I've uploaded, but when it comes to burning it to a DVD, I can't seem to designate the correct settings so it will play on a DVD player. I can make one that plays on any computer all day long.

 

Problem #2) Same as above pretty much, but I need to know what to make the settings to save it on my computer so I can then upload it to Youtube.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You have supplied no information on what you have done so far and not even what application from Creator 2009 you are using. What settings are you using? Basically there are only 4 available: Extra Long Play(EP), Long Play(LP), Standard Play(SP), and High Quality (HP). Any one of these can be used to create a DVD depending on the tim length of your video and the quality you want. EP is the poorest and HQ the best quality.

 

For youTUbe you have to find out what youTube requires and then select the setting from the list available in Videowave.

When I go to 'EXPORT' my video, here is where I am at and what I am doing.

 

DESTINATION: I choose 'video file'

PURPOSE: I choose 'all'

VIDEO FILE QUALITY: I have no idea... trying a bunch of different times using different settings

 

 

And thats it. So far one ive uploaded the quality was real bad, so im trying other setting.

 

As far as making the DVD... I just remember burning to the drive. I'll have to go back and see what I had in there.

 

I just think it could be a little more informative for what you want to do. I tried looking in the book for specific words for what I want to do.... but not much luck there either.

 

Thanks

For YouTube, I have found that AVC good quality or AVC Better quality works well. YouTube now has a 'high quality' mode so either should work.

 

For DVDs, you should be editing in Videowave. Then use MyDVD to create the DVD menus and burn to disc or video DVD file/folder.

Read this post from the Tips & Tricks forum on a workflow strategy for creating a DVD. Jim did an excellent job there.

In fact it is a good idea to read some of the Tips & Trciks post even for other Roxio versions.
