Idvd created dvd-r won't play on Blue-ray

I burned a DVD in IPHOTO. It plays on IMAC but not on my Samsung CD/DVD player. WHY.

Because it would appear that your Bluray player does not support it.

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

IDVD authored DVDs that won't play in domestic players

For what it's worth with all the traffic here about discs not playing, here's my experience. Hope it helps. Although the following is a wee bit ranty, apologies.
Having successfully authored many DVDs in Panther with iDVD 2, since completely upgrading (not migrating) to a new machine with freshly installed Tiger and iDVD 5.0.1 I cannot successfully burn DVDs from either iDVD or iDVD .imgs from Disc Utility that will play in anything but my trusty 3 year-old Pioneer 355 or Apple DVD player. This is using the same media (Verbatim) as I have always used.
DVD players take a while to read the disc, then show the main menu (even if the DVD is autoplay). On selecting an asset to play, the player freezes. In fact one Panasonic player I have crashes. I have to power it down and up to get the disc out.
On authoring the same assets with the same structure using the same Verbatim media in DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 I have complete success.
This to me goes to show that my Superdrive is almost certainly not an issue.
Rather than troubleshoot iDVD further I have decided not to use it at all until I have iDVD 6. I cannot afford to waste more time and money on software (and possibly the way software talks to hardware) that plainly does not work fresh out of the box.
Why do I use iDVD when I have DVD SP? It's hassle-free, fast, and does no less and no more than I need. Until now.

Sounds a lot like what I went through. Have you modified the theme (such as added a custom background image)? See my earlier post at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1689970#1689970 for a complete description of this bug.

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?

How about some details on how you made the disc. What sort of media did the project contain? What brand and type of media did you use? What burn speed did you use?
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

DVD Player won't play some DVDs

My DVD Player won't play certain DVDs. Presumably all commercial DVDs should be playable in the software. Fox discs are a problem. I can get Player to turn on, but after the menu, the screen flashes a reading error, from which it could not recover. Yesterday I tried to play a Paramount disc, and nothing happened. The computer didn't even acknowledge that there was a disc in the tray. A Wolfe Video wouldn't read at first (I got a dialogue box that the disc was blank) but I put it in again and that time it played.
Also, on a side note, I would like future editions of DVD Player to add the feature of allowing the viewer the ability to go backwards a frame at a time, as well as forwards.

Hi, Doug.
This is starting to sound like a different problem. Your original report seemed to apply only to specific DVDs. Now it's with all DVDs. Before we get into how to reinstall DVD player, let's try a few other things that are more likely troublemakers with DVD Player.
1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. Reset DVD Player. Peform all of the following steps before attempting to launch DVD Player again:2.1. Trash the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. This file is the preferences file for DVD Player.
2.2. Using Get Info, make sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write on the following folders on your account:• Home > Library > Application Support.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings.If not, correct the permissions accordingly using the Owner and Access pop-up menus in the Details sub-panel of the Ownership & Permissions panel of the folders' Get Info windows.
2.3. Trash the contents of your Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings folder.3. If none of the above sorts it out, let's see what Console can tell us: After the problem occurs, make note of the time, then immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues that may have been logged when the problem occurred.
4. Note that none of the above rules out the possibility that your optical drive has become defective.4.1. Can you burn DVDs, e.g. even data DVDs from Finder?
4.2. See if the freeware VLC Media Player (nee VideoLan Client) can play the DVDs.Good luck!

My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix. The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro. So DVD is ok. Message says "not permitted" when I click play. Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

Hi
Part of it - in my way of doing is
Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
• Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

Blu-ray menu button made with dynamic link won't work on Blu-ray disc

Windows 7
CS6 cloud
Ok. So I used dynmamic link to my encore project and I also imported an mpg.4 as an asset for a separate menu button. I have two buttons on linked to the premire pro project and one linked to the mpg.4. Everything works fine in preview and the flow chart is fine everything is going where its supposed to go.
When I play the blu-ray disc the menu shows, the video thumbnails show...but when I hit the menu button that is supposed to play the premier pro video it does not work. But when I hit the menu button for the mpeg.4 video it does work.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Please post a screenshot of your flowchart.

Play 3D blu rays with the proper hardware

Hello community I have a burning set of questions. So let me set the scene i have a MBP 13", Early 2011, i5 2.3, 16gram, 3D projector.
So I'm looking at buying the MCE internal Blu ray drive to play 3D/blu rays. What i want to do is play 3D movies though my projector and here come the question
1. Can the HDMI on my mac push though the 3D signal "frame packeting"
Thats the main question because if this doesn't work then its time to look for another solution. if reply to this can you put in links to confirm your findings

sorry OGel thats not what I'm asking and your half right about apple not supporting Blu rays and I quote " At a software level" but hardware its fully compatitable and the mini display port is technically able to push out the Res and Hz thats needed for 3D.
BUT can it put out the single of frame packing so my 3D projector picks it up as a 3D sources
AND has any one done this with other apply hardware not including mac pro's
Thank you

I want to play a BLU RAY disc in my IMac computer, is that possible?

Hi
NO - not as it is.
YES - if You buy a Blu-Ray player that can connect to Your iMac.
I use a PlayStation3 to view my BD-disks - but this don't connect to my Mac only to the TV.

Problem playing commercial Blu Ray disks

We seem to have a problem playing commercial Blu-Ray disks with the SCCM client installed, it seem that the Microsoft mirror driver breaks the Blu-Ray licensing and disk can not be played? any ideas?

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up.
This is not something that can be answered here in the forums, you will need to contact CSS directly for support, they can work with you to solve this problem.

IDVD created DVD plays on some DVD players and not others, HELP!

Hi everyone,
I just finished a huge wedding photo montage and burned it using iDVD to a standard DVD-R. I popped it into a Sony home DVD player and all went well, and looked great. Next I tried the DVD in a Mintek portable DVD player (so it's easier to take to the wedding and connect to the LCD projector) and the DVD is not recognized. I tested another computer burned DVD (from a wedding video that was burned on a PC) in the mintek and it does work. I also tested the mintek using a standard store bought DVD movie and it worked fine.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening? I've browsed through the prefs for iDVD in search of some "compatibility" options but there aren't any.
The wedding is Saturday so I'm really hoping to get this sorted out quickly.
BTW I'm using the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815 (the one that came standard in the original 1GHz, 17" Powerbook)
Thanks everyone!
Dave-G

Your problem is the Mintek portable DVD player.
Some older DVD players will not play the newer burned media.
This is by design to force conusmers to always upgrade and update there equipment to stay a head of the technology curve.
I had the same problem with a 2 year old stand alone player wouldn't play anything I burned. It would play on other computers and on newer stand alone players but not on a 2 year old player. (VERY FRUSTRATING) I bought a new cheap stand alone and quess what , All was good it played.
There are different codes that are on these players that distingish the players capability.
Good Luck.

Latest dvd project won't play in DVD players...

I have a iMac G5 and iDVD 4. I use FCP to edit. I have made many DVDs from files I make with exporting my sequences to quicktime. Then I import that export into iDVD, and this has always created DVDs that play in my computer and in DVD players.
For some reason, my latest project will only make DVDs that play on my computer using this method, not any of my 3 DVD players. I've checked to make sure I'm still set to NTSC, and I am. What could be causing this? Did I change a setting in FCP that I'm unaware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've wasted a good many blank DVDs from this glitch. Thank you!

Haha. I would love the luxury to just stop and not worry about it but unforunately I need to burn the DVD. I do not have another burner, I only have my internal one built into the iMac G5 I have.
Plus if you read through, you'd see that I have successfully burned older DVD projects just fine this week. It's just this latest project that won't burn.
If you have any suggestions related to what I might have changed or what might be different in FCP, that would be helpful. Unfortunately just stopped after 10 bucks worth is not an option.

Aspect ratio issue when watching 16'9 idvd created DVDs on regular players

I am having problems with the aspect ratio of any DVDs that I burn in iDVD as 16'9 - The original video is 16'9 and edited as such in FCP, then exported with current settings selected and then in iDVD I select a widescreen project - preview of the project is fine and when the DVD is done it plays with the correct aspect ratio if I watch on the computer's internal DVD player - but my issue is when I watch on any regular DVD player (on a widescreen tv of course) all the video looks tall and skinny, including the menu. The only way I found to get the video to look like it's natural proportion is to switch the settings to 4'3 on the DVD player, then it creates almost a "super-widescreen" look where there are bars at the top and bottom of the screen. On the otherhand, when i used to shoot in 4'3 and create DVDs as 4'3 projects, I NEVER had this problem when watching on a regular DVD player on widescreen TV! It would take up the whole screen and look normal (I know it must stretch it to fit, but it wasn't noticable). I thought creating a 16'9 video I should be able to watch on a widescreen TV and it should take up the whole screen and look normal. Please help!

No, that is not the way it should work. This may help:
