Lackluster DVD Playback

I used to have a G3 iMac and the DVD playback was great, crystal clear. Now I have a 17 inch iMac G5 and the placyback is just plain nasty. The playback is never fullscreen, even when widescreen DVD is in. The playback is very grainy, with all sorts of DVDs. i have tried new movies old movies music everything. There is always a 2-3 inch black border on all sides of the video. Why is the playback so horrible?- It is seriously awful.

Try one of the free DVD players from versiontracker to try and isolate the problem (VLC or MPlayer).
My 10" Rev A iMAc G5 is great

DVD playback issue with Windows Media Player

Hi,
This isn't an Encore specific question, rather, a DVD playback one. Has anyone had issue playing their replicated DVDs in Windows Media Player? I truly believe it's the media player, not the DVD. When we put a DVD in the drive and try to open it in WMP, it jumps right to a video, or jumps directly to the last place we were in a video.... it's not defaulting to the main menu.
Has anyone experienced this? Is it a programming glitch on my DVD? I feel like it's a WMP issue, as it's only happening on certain computers.
thanks.

WMP has never been a good player for DVD's. At some point in the past, much of that functionality was disabled my MS, in hopes to reduce piracy. For some versions, no burned DVD would even play, though replicated/pressed DVD's were supposed to play fine.
I use CyberLink's PowerDVD and it is fine, even with my burned DVD's. The free MediaPlayer Classic HC plays my discs well too, with full menuing.
Good luck,
Hunt

DVD Playback problem with H/w accel on Ti4200

Hello folks,
I have a problem with DVD playback using WinDVD Platinum on my MSI 128Mb GF4 Ti4200 (MS-8700). When I play a DVD with hardware acceleration enabled I get a sort of ghosting or delayed flash photography effect similar to that which gives headlights trails. This doesn't occur with the Detonator 40.72 drivers
or MSI 41.07 drivers but occurs with
the NVidia 41.09s, 43.00s and now 43.45 drivers under WinXP SP1. The problem only occurs with hardware acceleration enabled and has happened with both DX8.1 and 9.0. I didn't have this problem with the 41.09s under Win2k SP3.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution.
Thanks,
Morpheus
System Specs:
Athlon XP 2000+
512MB DDR Ram
Asus A7V333-R
Soundblaster Audigy Player
Realtek 8139 based NIC
Win XP SP1
DirectX 9.0

Sound is fine its just the picture that has the problem but I have narrowed it down further by downloading WinDVD Tweaker. If I disable DxVA but leave hardware decode and colour selected the problem isn't present. Therefore I suspect something has corrupted my DxVA drivers however as I originally had 8.1 installed and then installed 9.0 in an attempt to fix this I don't think a reinstall of DX will solve the problem.
Any ideas.
Cheers,
Morpheus

DVD playback: screen goes black in full-screen mode

Hi. Having problems with DVD playback on 1 Ghz Powerbook G4 12 ". When trying to view in full-screen (or even sometimes in maximum) mode, screen simply goes black. Sound still works, but no visuals. As soon as I revert back to Normal size, visuals play fine.
Any ideas ? This is a problem which has developed rather than being with the machine since I bought it. Just for the record, I have 1.25 GB RAM installed and am running 10.4.5.

DVD playback blurry with Kaffeine/Xine

Hi guys,
I wanted to watch my first DVD under Linux yesterday and I noticed that the image quality is really, really bad compared to watching the same DVD under Windows with PowerDVD.
DVD playback in Kaffeine with Xine engine is really blurry. Does anybody know what the reason could be? There's a lot of options for xine engine parameters in Kaffeine, but I don't have a clue about them. Any tipps appreciated.
I've also tried kmplayer, but the image there has small black horizontal lines in it, which looks really weird. I thinks that's called interlaced, right? I'm a total video noob. ^^
TIA,
Blackhole

DVD Playback Error Problems.

Hi,
When I put in a DVD a initialation error pops up saying Player requires a newer version of DVD Playback frame work
[-70103]. How do I fix this? Thanks.

I would suggest running a system software update.
Keep in mind that it is recommended to back up your important files and data before doing so.
The option to do so should be in your Apple menu.

Dvd-playback is terrible

got a new mac mini dual core .. hooked it up to my toshiba 30" tv .. works fine .. BUT: dvd-playback in frontrow and dvd-player and quicktime isn't like butter, isn't like dvd-playback from my 30 euro dvd-player .. it's terrible! it trembles, it stops, sound an picture aren't simultaneously. i tried it with 10 dvds .. all the same.
so it's useless. i will send it back to apple.
12 PB G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Indeed, resolution does not really matter in your case, as you do not seem to be trying to playback HD video, just normal DVDs. BVut that's not the problem. No Mini, would it be the original 1.25 Ghz with 256 MB of RAM will playback DVDs fine. Your Mini's behavior is not normal, and shows that there is a problem with it. It is not a problem with Dual-Core Minis, or even with the integrated graphics, it is a problem with your Mini. It could be that the optical drive is faulty, or a thousand other things, but your Mini is definitely capable of performing better than it does now. What I mean is that is needs some troubleshooting, or maybe even repair, but that once it gets fixed, DVDs will play fine.
Of course, you can take it back to Apple if you want (it's been 6 days since your original post, so if your really intend to do so, you'd better do it fairly soon). In the meantime you could give us more information about your Mini and the issues you're experiencing (expecially regarding what you meant by DVD playback in QuickTime - see my other post) so that we can try to help you and make your Mini as fast as it ought to be ...

DVD Playback flickers

Since upgrading to 10.5 on my iMac Intel 2.0Ghz, DVD playback (at least of certain DVDs) seems to flicker - in both the DVD Player and Front row. It is almost as if the wrong frames overlap or something like that - there are strange 'ghosting' effects as characters move.
Very hard to describe, but very annoying. Is anyone else finding the same thing?
Message was edited by: Nicholas Cole

Yes. I have found the same to be true on my brand new 8 core 2.8 ghz. It must be a DVD Player issue because my old G$ played DVD's flawlessly. I hope a patch comes soon.

Dvd playback is slow

i have noticed that dvd playback is slow . i use vlc and kaffeine.if the dvd files are on hdd the playback is again slow.i have nvidia 630m optimus

Hi
If this delay appears only playing the movies and audio using the CD/DVD drive then you should check this short workaround:
1) Access the device manager
2) Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI option
3) go to Primary IDE channel -> Properties -> Advanced settings
4) here you should check if DMA if available was chosen
If its not set to DMA if available then remove the Primary IDE channel from the device list and reboot the notebook.
After the notebook has booted again, check the single point again and check if DMA if available appears again

DVD Playback Quality

My DVD playback (made with DVDSP & Compressor) looks Good on a 27" TV monitor, but when I play it on my 15" Powerbook, many of the images look soft. Why is this? Is there anything that can be done? It seems to contradict the logic of "smaller image=better resolution."
Thanks.

A TV monitor is interlaced whereas a computer monitor is pixel based. A dvd is bound to look good on a TV monitor as the DVD is interlaced as well. NTSC resolution is 720x480. Your computer monitor may have a reolution way above that. Hence the image has to be scaled and hence the softness. Try viewing it without zooming in and you will be quite happy with what you see.

Sound aok everywhere except dvd playback.

In recent weeks... suddently my dvd playback seems dead.
Video fine...just no audio via the HDMI via the HP w2408h monitor.
AOK via headset even with DVD.
AOK on sound in all other cases other than DVD.
Music & all else aok...and even past video...recorded.
Am assuming that I did something, but I havent installed anything new in 5 months other than 4 games (for grandkids) and TEXTPAD (related to schoolwork).
And those games were installed for weeks before the dvd sound disappeared..
Current solution is to use headset when I want to watch dvd.
I can still do everything else as if dvd wasnt problmatic right now.
Drivers & updates - everything is current ...

If you haven't already, try a few different discs and see if it's repeatable. If so, and there's an Apple Store near you, I'd take it there and see if it will repeat for them.

Freezing within DVD playback

Having searched many forums for a solution to freezing on DVD playback (particularly with DVD players older than about 4 years) without success, I have isolated the issue to layer separation in Encore when building.
The solution I have discovered to get around this is
1. Create your video in Premiere Pro as normal.
2. Export to hard drive using Adobe Media Encoder and set Multiplex to DVD, Bitrate encoding to CBR for better final quality.
3. Import into Encore and create menus etc normally.
4. Build as a DVD Image to your hard drive with the following settings, irrespective of your file size, set size to 4.7GB, this turns off the Layer break options. Then set size to "Custom" then set custom size to slightly larger than you file. Make sure "side" is set to 1.
5. Press "Build". This will build an *.iso file to your hard drive without a layer break being inserted.
6. Import this file into DVD Shrink and shrink back to your hard drive as an *.iso file to fit a single layer DVD.
7. Double click this file to automatically open and burn a DVD using Nero. Make sure burn speed is 4x or less.
Good luck

Bill,
Thanks for posting your solutions.
I've found that three factors affect DVD playback most, and in this order:
1.) choice of media - Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are highly recommended. Falcon gets good reviews, but is/was only available in US. Have never used it.
2.) burn speed - slower is always better (as you point out). Luckily, Encore allows one to choose a slow burn speed, based on one's selection of media and also the capabilities of the burner. I always buy the slowest media, that Verbatim, or TY offer at the time. I want SLOW.
3.) keeping the bit-rate at about 7MB/s. This one gets debated a bit, and many have never had an issue at 8MB/s - YMMV
Now, my workflow is a tad different, as I always Export from PrPro as a DV-AVI Type II elemental stream (Video-only, no multiplexing obviously) and AC3 DD 5.1 SS Audio-only (or PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit, if I'm not doing 5.1 SS with the SurCode encoder). The DV-AVI is Imported into Encore as a Timeline, and the AC3 (or WAV) is Imported as an Asset. The Audio is dragged to the respective Timeline.
Unless I have some real need for bit-budgeting, I let Encore Transcode on Automatic. Even if one uses the above Assets and requires bit-budgeting, you can still set up the Transcoding manually, or can Export from PrPro as an MPEG-2 with the necessary settings. I strongly recommend not using any muxed files as Assets in Encore. Some will work, but many just flat fail.
So far, my method has yielded several hundred Projects with almost 2000 DVD's Burned. Not one has ever come back. Now, each Project gets checked with a DVD RW "test," and then the first DVD -R, or +R gets run through 5 different machines, plus the computer, before delivery, but still no returns, and some of my clients have some pretty old gear. For my testing, I use several brands of players and the models range from a pure esoteric down to a re-branded discount store cheapie. If it plays on all of these, I ship it out the door.
Appreciate the posting of your workflow,
Hunt

No Sound During DVD Playback

I have a new HP elitebook 8460p and there is no sound during DVD playback. Is there a setting I may be able to change? Here is a list of things I've tried and pertinent information:
- Confirmed all system mute settings are off (e.g., not muted)
- Confirmed DVD works on other devices
- DVD will not play sound in InterActual Player, Windows Media Player, or VLC Media Player
- Picture is fine...just no audio
- Running XP
- All other system sounds work

Multi region DVD playback

I have a 27" iMac and it's set to Region 2 for it's DVD playback. I used to have a cheap DVD player that could play any DVD region, but that went the way of the dodo sometime early last year. Now I have a stack of Region 1 DVDs that I want to rip to my hard disk, but any application I try (even VLC and Handbrake) refuse to play or rip the disk. It either crashes or appears to have frozen before spitting the disk back out at me.
I was going to buy a cheap USB DVD drive in the hopes that it would play the DVDs, but I'm not sure if the region lock is part of the OS (therefore making the USB drive worthless) or part of the firmware on the internal drive (making the USB drive plausible).
Does anybody have a solution? Free if possible.
Thanks

I'm in the same boat, but a bit worse off. I'm a Canadian, with a Canadian-purchased late-2008 Aluminum MacBook. BEST laptop I've ever owned. Except for the Matshita DVD drive, which has now used up its 5 allowed region swaps. I made sure the last one was to Region 2 (Canada/USA). But since I've been living in a Region 4 region now for years, my MacBook can't play any media coded for this region. There is also no firmware flash available for this drive (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868).
There is no logical or commercial reason for region coding. It is particularly onerous for those of us with portable Macs who travel / live internationally....

Sort of looks like hardware issues to me. Do you know that the drive works (i.e. tested in another OS, or it used to work and just stopped?)
Did you try just mplayer dvd:// ? That's quite a long options list you've got there.
What kind of drive is it?
