DVD connections act differently in DVD Player than in simulator

Before I burn my DVD I check all of the connections. When I play it in a DVD Player, sometimes the same buttons do different things, but when I come back to the project everything is correct. I have to have the master for my client in two days, they are making 2,000 copies...please help.

There are about ten chapetem markers on each track, and each subtitle section has three invisible buttons. The defalt button and then one to go up and another to go down. I have different tracks like this and you can't get to the tracks chapter points untill you are on the track. Everything works fine in simulator and on some dvd players but others get all mixed up????

    I have just transferred all my iphone videos into my macbook, now I would like to put these videos onto a dvd for playing on any dvd; how would I do that with my usb Superdrive dvd/cd drive. I don't see a option to burn. Please help and responses is greatly appreciated, I am a New macbook user.

    You need an app like Toast by Roxio (http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/default.html).  You would use Toast to burn the videos to a DVD-R disc.

  • IMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive  ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also play fine in Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

    iMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive  ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also plays fine on Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

    There are many reasons this could be the case but whether an optical disc can be read or not is a function of:
    The reflective media layer of the disc
    Whether the burned disc was a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
    The brand, model, and production lot of the disc
    The specific frequency of the Write lasers that burned the disc
    The specific frequency of the Read lasers that are attempting to read the disc
    Are the Read lasers in the drive working (it is common for one set of lasers in a drive to fail while others continue to work)
    How old are the Write and Read drives (laser frequencies change with age)
    Is there dust on the read laser
    Is there dust on the read lens
    etc.
    At one time it was estimated that fewer than 80% of all burned discs were readable in 90% of the drives. That has, I believe improved over time but at the same time it seems the faillure rate of lasers in the drives has increased but that may simply be the result of how many different read and write lasers there are in today's superdrives. Fortunately todays drives are a lot less expensive the replace -- now that Apple no longer installs optical drives in their computers.

  • Dvd plays fine in a dvd player but pixelated in Apple DVD player

    Hi,
    Thanks in advance. I have a dvd that I built/formatted in DVDSP with the default settings in place.
    It plays fine in a DVD player, but once I try playing it back with Apple DVD Player, there is one 5 minute video clip that is heavily pixelated to the point that the pixels are literally 100 times larger than a normal pixel, and these faint, broken "pixel fields" jump all over the place and the image looks incredibly "glitchy".
    Why is this happening? Does Apple DVD Player play DVDs with a different pixel aspect ratio or setup? Is there a setting for playback in a computer DVD player that I need to set upon Build/Format?
    Thanks...

    In DVD Player, hit Command-1 which will play your video at Actual Size. If you try to "fill the screen" it will become soft and fuzzy because you are pixel doubling (or worse).
    SD video is very low res.

  • DVD won't play in DVD player

    Hi. I'm a documentary filmmaker with a small production company. I burn a lot of DVDs. All of them play on my computer, most of them play on most DVD players (at other peoples' offices, at friends' houses, etc), NONE OF THEM play on my personal DVD player. Any ideas as to why would be greatly appreciated. Technical details below:
    I burn on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.5.8, using the following protocol:
    Final Cut Pro HD project exported at current settings, resulting file sent to compressor, output at SD DVD 90 minute best settings, imported to DVD SP (4.2.1), DVD (standard def, NTSC) designed and built on DVD SP, DVD burned on Toast 10 Titanium (10.0) at 16X speed.
    I use memorex DVD-R 16X DVDs. My DVD player is a Toshiba SD-2109.

    iirc, Memorex disks can be a problem. Try a different disk - Taiyo Unden work very well.
    Also, try burning using either a slower speed and/or using DVDSP.

  • Help! dvd won't play in dvd player or on mac!

    this is my first imovie creation. it's just a slideshow in imovie, that i've exported to idvd to burn onto a dvd. i have an external dvd burner, so i am saving as a disc image, and burning the file that creates. the problem is, once i burn the disc, the dvd does not work in my dvd player, on my mac, anywhere!
    i've never done this before, but i think i have all the settings correct. should i be doing something other than burning that disc image file? many thanks for any answers or help!!!

    not on my dvd player
    Your player would be considered pre-historic by today's DVD standards. I had a Sony of that age, which I gave to my neighbor. My friend had the same model and some of my DVDs played while others didn't. Seemed it didn't like some brands, like TDK. Since you're new to this, I'll give you the following "blurb" that should help you make some media decisions. You can take your DVD to a store and try it and buy a new player. I'd avoid Toshiba based on my experience with friend's players...
    My reliable DVD-Rs have been: Apple 4X (Maxell ID), RiTek 4X; Verbatim 1-8X, RiData 8X, and PioData 8X, all white inkjet printable. The RiData and PioData checked out to be RiTek-made.
    Verbatim is reliable and can be found in many stores in the USA. They even make a special grade for medical records.
    You can buy the RiTek, RiData, and PioData at:

    Verbatim may be available in your neighborhood Office Depot store, or:

    Apple brand can be purchased from the Apple online store.
    You can check the manufacturer's ID by using DVD Media Inspector: http://homepage.mac.com/raktajino/dvdmediainspector/dvdmediainspector.html

    Here's a great site: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    You could wade through this: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
    From that database: Five brands and who actually manufactures the DVDs:
    TDK = TDK, RITEKG04, RICOHJPN, MXL, CMC, MCC
    Memorex = CMC, RICOHJPN, PRODISC, INFODISC
    Imation = CMC, MCC, Ritek, Prodisc
    Sony = MCC 01RG20, Sony04D1, TYG01
    Fuji = FUJIFILM02..4X, FUJIFILM03..8X, ProdiscF01..8x, ProdiscS03..4x, PVC001001..2x, RITEKG03..1x, TAIYOYUDEN..2x, TYG01..4x, TYG02..8x
    This can result in "mixed" experiences...
    My friend used TDK on his Mac and it wouldn't play in his 5 year old Sony DVD player. All of mine play OK in his "antique" Sony. Update: He finally gave up on that antique and bought a Sony DVPNS775V which also plays double-layer DVD+R.

  • Connecting to a HD DVD

    I want to connect my Toshiba HD DVD player to my Airport express so it can update the firmware.
    My airport express is connected to an airport extreme.
    How do I do it ? My hd dvd player keeps signaling that it is not connected to the internet. What settings do I have to give to my Airtport express or do I have to use a hub or such ?
    Thanks,
    Yves

    Hi Duane.
    It is connected thru the ethernet port. Since the Airport's port is a WAN port, I tried connecting thru a router (connecting the Toshiba in a LAN port and connecting the router thru the WAN port). I thought that would do it, but no. I still get a message of not being able of connecting to the server. Althought thru the router I got an IP address. The only thing missing was address for the server.

  • Inspire 6700 DVD connection

    I have a set of Inspire 6700 speakers connected to my present DVD player. The DVD player has six phono outputs: L, R, RL, RR, Ctr, Sub. I've used phono to 3.5mm converters to connect these into the three input sockets on the 6700 system. I am now looking at getting a DVD recorder, but this doesn't have six phono outputs: it has only 2 for L&R. It does, though, have an optical output. Is there a way to convert this output into the required three 3.5mm connectors required for input to the 6700?Gary

    Jason, Thanks for this - it looks like it would do exactly what I want. However, I'm in the UK and all the stores I've tried list it as discontinued. I've tried searching with Google and even looking on eBay, but can't find one anywhere. Do you know if there is a replacement model available?Cheers, Gary

  • 2 hour DVD with 2 different chapters?

    I've never tried this, but I'm wondering if I can create with iDVD 5 a 2 hour DVD with two different movies in it? Essentially, I shot two dance shows and in order to save money, I'm hoping to fuse the two into one DVD whereby viewers can select Show A or Show B and get what will probably be 15 chapters for each show.
    The longest iDVD DVD that I've created so far was about 90 minutes, and the quality appeared okay, but I'm wondering what a slightly over 2 hour video might look like.
    I have Pogue's Missing Manual for iMovie and iDVD and I'll research the question there, but I'm wanting to get feedback from those who have tried it.
    Any suggestions for how to get this project done if it's indeed possible to do so?
    Thanks

    Yeah, I need to get Studio Pro eventually. It would be nice to have more custom made wedding DVDs rather than the standard ones I've been using with iDVD.
    I was just reviewing Pogue's book on another matter and realized that I can archive a project as a disk image rather than archiving the entire project which creates a huge file. Without thinking, I always thought the disk image was still referencing the source files. (silly me). Now I can create more space in my external drives and still make copies of DVDs when my clients call me months later wanting another copy. Wow, learn something new everyday.

  • Why does my Encore DVD not play in Windows Media Player v.11

    My DVD's play properly in players and from various other DVD Software but not Windows Media Player v.11.  Most people I give my DVD's to view them on business computers, that only have WMP on them.  Is there a way to build an Encore DVD that will allow them to play in WMP?

    You can always build a Flash "DVD". Other than that you may be looking in the wrong place. Microsoft has neatly avoided any MPEG-2/DVD licensing and merely uses the respective libraries of otehr DVD software on your system, so when no such thing is installed, it never works.

  • IMovie DVD Cannot be read by Bluray Player

    How to resolve a problem with getting a DVD (with a correct DVD type) to play on a Samsung Bluray player that has IMovie files burned to it?  The problem is not the DVD type.  Could it be the settings for burning the DVD?

    My Macbook does not have iDVD app.  There is a "Share" option in iMovie that allows you to export it to QuickTime as an mp4 (mpeg) file.  From there I used a free DVD burn app (iburn) that I downloaded, that did not offer any menu options other than to burn the video to DVD.  The DVD will play the video on the Macbook, but not my Samsung Bluray player.  So, my friend told me to convert the files to .mov, because Samsung does not recognize the other file types (based on their website specs).  I did that, but, it still didn't play on my bluray player.  It did however, play on my friends 2 players -- one of which happens to be a bluray player.  We then thought it might be the DVD type and tried every DVD type that my bluray manual says are ok.  Even though, my bluray manual says DVD+RW cannot play, it will play a slideshow that I created in iPhoto!  So, now I am wondering if the issue is still the file type OR perhaps, I need to use a DVD burner that will allow me to select specific options that might make a difference.  If the burner options don't matter, why then do DVD burners that are NOT free have options from which to choose?  Perhaps, there is something within those options that could help the situation.  I don't know.  I am frustrated and at a complete loss at this point.  Any thoughts??

  • Xi-Fi and CD - DVD connect

    Till now I use an Audigy2 and I have internal connection from my CD-DVD to SB card via CD-IN or SPDIF, I want to change to a new Xi-Fi SB card but I saw that are not more present that internal connection, why ?
    Are not more necessary ?
    Thanks
    Luca

    It isnt needed. All that is used is the IDE cable now. As proof of this just try unpluggin the connection you have between the dri've and the card and you will see that cd's will play normally.
    Furthermore; if you look in your volume control panel you will see that the cd player section can be totaly musted/turned down and the wave slider actually controls the volume of what you are hearing from you cd. This is again because all the data is passed from the dri've, throught the IDE and eventually to the card.

  • Connect HDTV to VCR DVD combo device and Motorola 7101 Cable Box

    Hi all, first post.  Am not too saavy re: new technology.  Iam trying to connect my Panasonic VCR DVD combo to my TV:  Sony HDTV and Verizon 7101 Cable box.  Should be fairly straightforward but being technologically illiterate it is very challenging.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks   Jergen

    There are usually several choices. If your DVD/VCR has S- inputs and outputs, the preference is to run S-Video cables from the cable box to the DVD/VCR, and from the DVD/VCR to the TV set (that will be another input on the TV). The S-VHS connections will provide the best standard definition video quality.
    The audio is more complicated. I ended up using Y cables so that I could split L and R audio outputs into two L and two R audio outputs. , one set runs to the TV, the other  set to the VCR/DVD audio inputs.. You will need to run Audio cables from the DVD/VCR from the audio outputs on the VCR/DVD to the audio inputs that correspond to the S-video input you are using for video from the VCR/DVD to the TV.
    Generally you have to enable the S-vide input on the DVD/VCR if it has one, and it usually an option with an Aux input.
    If you DVD/VCR unit doesn't support S-Video input, then you run a cable from the composite video output on the Cable box to the composite input on the DVD/VCR. You still have to split the audio. If it doesn't have S-VHS input, it may not have S-VHS output, in which case you run composite video to the TV in addition to the audio cables.
    IF neither of those are appealing to you, the cable box also output SD TV on either Channel 3 or 4 (your choice), and you can just run a coaxial cable connection from the cable box to the DVD/VCR instead of the Audio and Video cabling, you can also run a coaxial cable from the DVD/VCR to the TV's antenna input and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (your choice, determined by whatever channel the DVD/VCR is set to output on). If you use Coaxial cable, whatever links you use it with do not need the AV cables, however the picture quality will be substantially lower than S-Video, and somewhat lower than the composite video.

  • Cross platform DVD burning  - Mac/PC/home DVD player

    All right, Geniuses, re: cross platform DVD burning, I have read and read and spoken to many people. Out of 6 1/2 billion people, NOBODY can answer this question. Shane Ross probably can't answer it with a straight face.
    How, where, why, when, what do I use to burn a DVD - who knows, maybe up to 90 minutes - so that I can play the same DVD on my Mac, your DVD home player, your boss's PC, whether it's Real Player, Windows Media Player, QT, mmrphmm-mmrphmm, or quakiifrafermessendt (w/chrome) format.
    I am running Mac G5, dual proc. 2Gig, 3.5 G. RAM, OS 10.3.9, Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 which includes FCP, Compressor Live Type, DVD Studio Pro 3, Cinema Tools.
    The editing part is a cinch. Even with my eyes open. I've used Mac since 1978 and shoot broadcast. Oddly, dropped frames, A/V synch, phase shifting, etc are no problems.
    Also, I have about 300 shows that I did on VHS, 3/4", Betacam, and DV. I have an A to D converter that works great converting these tapes to digital which I store on my hard drive. What I need to do, let me back up... about a year ago I had to buy a PC because Mac doesn't support Solid Works 3D program. So, there, I said it, I own a PC. And that's why I have a problem. Or more accurately, a quandry. Rather than tie up my Mac, I might as well use the PC to record my videos to, then burn to DVD, then to edit them or run them through DVD Studio Pro on my Mac for authoring, then back to my first problem, How, where, why, when, what do I use to burn a DVD - who knows, maybe up 90 minutes - so that I can play the same DVD on my Mac, your DVD home player, your boss's PC, whether it's Real Player, Windows Media Player, QT, mmrphmm-mmrphmm, or quakiifrafermessendt (w/ultrascuzzyectoplacticdefoid) format.
    Of course, I want highest quality. Absolutely, my finished DVDs have to play on PC, Mac and home DVD players. If you've gone this far, someday I might need to put some of this on the web. I like options. It might be delivered as a stream, or a download. Another compression question?
    Simple, huh? Is there anything else you need to know? Should I fire up my old wire recorder, or are you going to suggest another 3rd party peripheral? Which would make me wonder, why hasn't Apple addressed this obvious disfunction.
    BTW/ I have found Memorex DVDs work best on my system. Any comments?
    Regards.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Time for a reality check: burned DVDs (and even stamped DVDs) are NOT 100% compatible with all DVD-Video reading devices. Period. It just the Nature of the technology and that fact that player and drive manufacturers rush products to market that are not fully in compliance with the DVD-Video standard.
    That said, I've had only two individual playback compatibility complaints in the last 6 years with well over 2000 DVD-R discs authored in DVD-SP and burned from my Macs on an external Sony DVD burner. Those two complaints were rectified by burning a DVD+R disc for the clients.
    Things I have learned:
    · Windows Media Player doesn't play nice with DVD-Video. ULead and other DVD players for the Windows platform do work very well (I have to WinXP systems to test on). PC playback compatibility is dependent on many, many things; the user's video card, RAM, drive type (and condition), processor speed ... the list goes on and on. It's impossible to predict if ANY disc will work in any given PC.
    · Memorex is at the very bottom of the list for quality media. Don't get me wrong; they do have a wonderful warranty. If you send back any discs they will replace them with equally poor quality media at no charge. Memorex is simply a marketer - there's no telling what brand or quality of media you're actually getting when you purchase their brand ... but you can be assured it will be cheap.
    That said; I'll agree that your workflow seems a bit backward. Authoring to DVD and then editing? Makes no sense. You're losing quite a bit of quality in that process as well as adding unneeded steps. If you must capture the footage with a Windows system and it needs editing, capture then convert to a QT codec that matches your FCP Sequence settings so when you move the files to your Mac for editing, everything actually plays nice.
    If your program doesn't need editing and you just want to transfer it to tape, I'd recommend using a stand-alone DVD recorder so you don't have to tie up either computer.
