Apple DVD Player question. Is there is any possibility to play DTS sound?

Sorry for off topic but there is no special discussion on DVD Player issues.
Did anybody knows how to get sound on iBook from DTS track of DVD disk? I mean there is no sound out of speakers when switching DTS sound while playing.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan

Thanks for getting back to me Drew.
Preferences were set to open DVD Player, and it does open upon insertion.
It just doesn't +auto play+ the disc. I have to use File: Open DVD Media and navigate to the Video TS to play it.
However, I do have a third party Dbl Layer burner, attached to the Powerbook.
As a test, I connected it to the G5, selected it with DVDSP for the format, and voila, it now auto plays on both computers.
Perhaps the G5's superdrive just will not play nicely with 16x media... It's the only thing I can think of.
And if so, it's a bummer that the G5's superdrive wont format an autoplay disc with this media, (if that's the issue.) I will post in the G5 forum for some clarity on that. And then find appropriate media for the G5.

  • Apple DVD Player Question

    Hi,
    I'm not sure this is the right forum, but you guys are always very helpful.
    I need to make the Apple DVD Player basically a kiosk player.
    I have a track ball and a button for enter so that is how you navigate the dvd.
    I need to make it in full kiosk mode, meaning no controller on screen.
    Does anyone know how to turn off the controller so it doesn't pop up?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    You can't disable the controller, but you can drag it out of view.
    From to the DVD Player help document (search word: kiosk):
    Setting up a movie kiosk
    You can set up a computer to show a movie but not allow users to stop it or otherwise control its playback using DVD Player's menus. This is useful, for example, if you want to play a self-running movie in a public booth.
    To control movie playback in kiosk mode, you must use the keyboard. If you want, you can remove the keyboard and connect a mouse directly to the computer after the movie is ready to start.
    Be sure the DVD Player Controller is also hidden if you do not want viewers to use it.
    Users can still select items from the disc menus by using the mouse, but cannot use DVD Player menus because the menu bar is hidden.
    1. Choose DVD Player > Preferences, and then click Full Screen.
    2. Select the checkbox labeled "Kiosk Mode (disable menu bar)."
    3. To control DVD Player in kiosk mode, use the DVD Player keyboard shortcuts.
    DVD Player usually ignores your computer's screen saver and sleep settings so full screen playback is not interrupted.
    To allow any automatic screen saver or sleep settings to take effect after a period of inactivity, select "Allow Screensaver on DVD menu in kiosk mode" in the Full Screen pane of DVD preferences. To remain in kiosk mode when exiting the screen saver, also select the "Remain in full screen when DVD Player is inactive" preference. Otherwise, DVD Player exits kiosk mode when exiting the screen saver.

  • Apple DVD player / region code

    I apologize if this is the incorrect forum for this question, but I could not find a forum specific to the Apple DVD player.
    Several months ago my internal DVD drive died and I replaced with an external LaCie firewire drive which I purchased from Apple. Until today all I have used it for is burning disks, and for that it has worked flawlessly. Today, however, I needed to use it to view a DVD. When I inserted the DVD i got a pop-up box which stated "Since this is the first use of a DVD disc, the drive region must be initialized before playing." A drop-down box gives me the options of regions 1-6, and 8. When selecting region 1, or any region for that matter, I get an error message which states "There was a problem changing the drive region code," and it gives me an error code of 10007. If I click Cancel the disk ejects and Apple DVD player pops up. Thinking there might be a problem with this disc I have tried several dvd movies. I do not get the pop-up box with the region code choices, instead Apple DVD player pops up, but the movie will not play. On screen it says "Supported Disc not available."
    I tried the original disk in my G4 PowerBook and it plays fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The LaCie drivers haven't changed since 2008 or before. Traditionally, computer DVD drives ignore region codes (a region code is a feature which should be illegal, IMO). So, unless your computer is new, I'm guessing the region code block is programmed into 'DVD Player'.
    I've a LaCie external DVD drive, and I found the free MPlayer produces a much better image than 'DVD Player'. Haven't tried VLC in several years, but it's considered my many the best.

    Be sure the external drive is being accessed. (You might want to stock up on such software while that for Tiger is still available.)

  • Apple DVD Player software not reading SPRM 4 correctly.

    I am a DVD author and have recently run into an issue with Apple DVD Player not reading SPRM 4 (current title) correctly. I know this isn't the Apple DVD Player forum, but there doesn't seem to be one for that application, so here I am...
    I have a disc (not authored in a Mac environment) that uses the value of SPRM 4 to track the last title played, and if it happens to equal the value of the main feature title, then use the "PLAY" button on the main menu as a resume.
    Apple DVD Player seems to think that SPRM 4 equals this particular value all the time, regardless of what title last played, which is totally breaking my disc. The real kicker is that the disc works flawlessly on set-tops and in a windows environment.. just not on any Mac that I have tried.
    Has anyone out there also experienced a problem with tracking SPRM 4 in Apple DVD Player? Is anyone from Apple reading these things, possibly someone who can flag this as a major issue?
    I am positive that this specific to Apple DVD Player, because the disc works as intended EVERYWHERE else.
    I have tried and experienced this issue across several Macs, and across several versions of DVD Player. It's consistent across all.
    If anyone has any ideas, please respond.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • Apple dvd player / external dvd drive issue

    i recently bought a LaCie d2 external dvd drive, since my desktop g4 only has an internal cdr drive. I am running osx 10.4.3, which i installed through this dvd drive. yet now, when i put a DVD movie into the drive and try to open Apple DVD Player, it says
    "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]"
    i know this is a third party drive, but can anyone help me out? pleeeease?

    This is to be expected. DVD Player will only work
    with an external DVD drive if the Mac has an internal
    DVD drive.
    However you may overcome this limitation using PlayerPatc
    h.
    I had the same problem as above (error code [-70012])... I downloaded this patch for my LG external DVD/RW Model GSA-2166D and it worked perfectly... can now play DVDs...
    It's people like you who make being part of the mac community a joy!
    Now I just need to find a patch to get the Light Scribe to work...
    Thanks!

  • First Play "Not Permitted" on Apple DVD player

    I have some duplicated DVD-Rs of a project, and the client ha reported a disutrbing error. I've been told that on several different Macs running OS 10.2 - 10.4, not only does the disc not auto launch DVD player and not auto-play the first play menu, but when the user presses play on the floating control, they get a "Not Permitted" message. The user reported that they were able to choose "open Video_TS" and navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc, at which point they were able to get the disc to play.
    The disc include a significant amount of content on the ROM sector of the disc, including an autorun and an .exe file for windows users. However, I can't see how the presence of these ROM files could interfere with the operation of DVD Player and the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc.
    Furthermore, the duplication master for this disc has been formatted directly from DVD studio as a standrd DVD volume - no Toast burn, hybrid volume formatting, anything like that.
    Upon inspection I discovered that my authoring assistant had specified a pre-script on the first play menu. I try never to use pre-scripts for anything, as I have found the way DVD studio handles them to be unreliable. However, I suspect this pre-script on the first play menu as the culprit in this problematic behavior, and have removed it.
    The problem consists in that I did not experience this problem with any of the DVD-R checkdiscs I burned from DVD studio, unti the discs were duplicated. We'll be doing a full-scale replication run as the next step. Since I am not able to reproduce this problem on discs I burn here, I'd like find a way to know I have fixed the problem.
    My question is, has anyone else ever encountered issues with their first-play menu throwing up this "not permitted" condition in Apple DVD Player? Has anyone ever found a connection between this issue and pre-scripts, or between this issue and any ROM files?
    I suspect that DVD studio's pre-scripts are "simulated" or translated through the abstratction layer of DVD studio in a way that allows them to be outside the DVD spec, or perhaps there are other ways DVD studio might be using the pre-command on a menu, such as when you specify a button selection for a menu, that use the menu pre-command, and override the pre-script you might have spcified for the menu.

    I've seen it on replicated masters when a dvd-r master was used and not all regions were selected as ok to play. DSP doesn't 'check' region 7 by default... its best to use a region all project and .img files, not VIDEO_TS builds to the HD.
    How were the discs duplicated though? That is probably the cause of the problem, not the pre-Script. Maybe a 'Data' disc was burnt and not a DVD-Video type option...

  • Apple DVD Player installers won't recognize Lacie d2 16x4x12x

    Greetings :
    My eMac has a CDR internal drive only.
    I just upgraded to Panther (upgrade disks) and I'm running 10.3.9.
    I'm trying to get the Apple installers to recognize the Lacie d2 I just got, so that I can install the Apple DVD player (software update?) or import a DVD player from another machine.
    The software won't install because it says it can't detect a proper drive, and the player I imported won't open for the same reason. I tried using Patchburn, Pacifist and the installed Installer on my eMac to no avail.
    Here's what my system profiler says about the d2 : : :
    FireWire Bus:
    Speed: 400 Mb/sec Speed
    LaCie 1394 DVD-R/RW+CD drive LUN 0:
    Manufacturer: LaCie Group SA
    Model: > LaCie 1394 DVD-R/RW+CD drive LUN 0
    Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
    Disc Burning: Vendor Supported
    Removable Media: Yes
    Detachable Drive: Yes
    Speed: 400 Mb/sec Speed
    Unit Spec Id: 24734
    Unit Software Version: 10483
    Firmware Revision: 2.07
    I believe the Lacie d2 I just got is the previous generation,
    no lightscribe. It works great (plug an play) for burning data but I'd really like to use the native Apple DVD player to watch DVD video with the drive. I downloaded the free/open source VLC media player and it seems to work well enough,
    but I'm on a mission to use Apple software if possible.
    I'm also thinking of upgrading to Tiger soon so I'm wondering if I'll have any corresponding issues there.
    Oh, and I did download and install the latest driver was from the Lacie site.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    BTW: here is the fix in case anyone needs it
    Follow it exactly, it works !
    1. Download and install Pacifist.
    2. Insert Mac OS 10.3 CD in drive.
    3. Select Open Mac OS X Install Packages button in Pacifist. It will ask you to swap out all three 10.3 install disks.
    4. Click the Find button and type "DVD". A long list should show up.
    5. The important files/folders to replace are:
    -AppleAltiVecDVDDriver.bundle
    -ATIRadeon8500DVDDriver (if graphics card is installed)
    -ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver (if graphics card is installed)
    -ATIRadeonDVDDriver.bundle
    -ATIRage128DVDDriver.bundle (if graphics card is installed)
    -DVDPlayback.framework
    -DVD.framework
    -rtadvd
    **There are many duplicates of the files/folders above in other languages. I only chose to install English.
    6. Select each or all and click Install.
    7. Choose to replace all existing files.
    8. Restart. Repair permissions.
    I didn't bother to try to install only the English versions...just installed and replaced all the items on tha list
    ;D

  • Scripts works in Simulator and Apple DVD player but not on TV

    I have a basic project with two different tracks.
    The first one is video and audio. Plays "as is".
    The second has video, two audio and one subtitle. Depending on which button, the second Track should be played with different audio and with/without subtitles.
    (I use GPRM 1 to set the subs stream, GPRM 2 for the audio and GPRM 3 for menu button navigation).
    On the second Track I have a pre-script that sets the streams depending on the value of GPRM 1 and 2.
    Works fine in Simulator and in Apple DVD player, but not on the stand-alone player.
    Any idea what might be the issue here?
    in short:
    Button 1: Play Track 1 "as is" (audio 1, no subs)
    Button 2: Play Track 2, audio 1, subs on
    Button 3: Play Track 2, audio 2, subs off
    Button 4: Play Track 2, "as is" (audio 1, subs off)
    Menu button and End Jump should go to the corresponding menu button.
    Many thanks for your help.

    It is part personal preference, part artistic, part what makes the user experience the best so there may not be one "right" answer and I have often made menus one way than changed them when viewing the DVD for something that seemed to work better.
    Looking at you description I started playing with some ideas in my head and started typing them, then changed what I was writing
    It sounds like you want chapter selections for both track 1 and track 2? If so it may make sense to have the initial menu have Track 1 and Track 2 buttons which then link to sub menus where there is "Play All," selections for each section of each movie and one last button for the preferences.
    Alternatively you could also place the preferences selection button on the main menu, though since Track 1 does not sound like it really has preferences you need to make sure that users do not become confused and think they have turned something on/off and are not seeing these options when they thought they selected them when they play back Track 1.
    Also with 6 to 8 chapter markers you may be getting close to the point where scripting could make it easier if your selections are just to play the sections - in other words for track 2 four stories take care of the combinations Audio 1/Sub Off, Audio 1 Subs On, Audio 2 Subs Off, Audio 2 Sub On. If the chapter selection starts the track a scene then plays through you can target chapter markers in the story so 4 stories takes care of it. If you are just playing sections you would need 4 x 6 or 8 chapters - 24 or 32 stories roughly. But it is actually fairly quick to do - just set up the intial Play All with all subtitles and audio selections unchecked except for "1" then copy from there. Probably should take under 10-15 minutes or so
    Put a real quick thing together for a quick view of the tracks. I can flesh it out more if you like.
    http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/081107Sub.dmg
    The main menu will be the title menu, then the sub-menus (including the set up menus) can be placed in the same VTS as the applicable tracks which can help a bit with DVD performance speed. Since there is 6 to 8 chapter markers on a track each of the main sub-menus would have 8-10 buttons which can work in the design.

  • Subtitles Work in simulator but are wrong in Apple DVD player

    OK I have used scripts to set one of two subtitle tracks (French or English) and another script to jump to a play once or a looping version of the video track. One menu selects the subtitle language and another menu selects the single or loop play option.
    In the simulator it all works as expected, I can see that the SPRM and GPRM values are correct for the functions I have set. The SPRM 2 values are correct for the subtitle tracks and they are copied to a GPRM register so the correct language slideshow is played before the video track.
    However when I do a build and play that in the Apple DVD player only the English subtitle appears no matter what language is selected. The correct language slideshow is played for either language selected but I always see the english subtitles when it jumps to the video.
    Would this be a problem with the Apple DVD player software or could there be a problem with some of my scripting?
    I have used the Set System Stream command to select the subtitle tracks and the Set GPRM and Compare commands to jump to the correct language slideshow.
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Regards, Russell

    Hi Russel
    After endless hours of trying to work around the same problem you have, I found the solution. The problem has to do with the script. For some strange reason the scripts become corrupted. I found out that the problem was corrected when I made a new script and connected the buttons to the new script. Hope they at apple find time to correct this problem in the future.

  • SCC file quirks when viewed in Apple DVD Player

    Greetings all,
    I have a bunch of DVDs with closed captioning that I am implementing by importing scc files. Everything works fine and looks gereat on set top players and even most software players running Windows. However, on the Mac running Apple DVD Player 4.0 or higher (OS X), there are a bunch of quirks during CC playback. Among them are:
    1. First and second lines of CC swap places (second line appears above first line)
    2. First line doesn't appear at all, but second line does.
    3. First line appear at top of screen while second line appears at the bottom.
    These issues are showing up on multiple projects using burnt discs (not builds or in simulator). Again, the CC look fine on set top machines and on PCs running Windows.
    Is this an issue with DVDSP? With Apple DVD Player? Or with the SCC files I'm working with? The files were delivered from the caption house and I have no way of opening them to look at the formatting.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Best,

    Hi Todd,
    I haven't seen this abberation but I am in PAL land. It doesn't surprise me though. DVD Player has numerous issues with adhering to the spec. If you are happy with the playback on all but a Mac I would proceed. If you are really worried when you go to replication you can have this looked at by the engineers ie through MEI or their in house testing systems.
    Your caption supplier will also be able to examine the integrity of your VIDEO_TS build.
    For future reference most captioning houses can supply you with the encoded mpeg rather than relying on DVDSP.
    Good Luck

  • Audio Glitch in Apple DVD player when at the end of a story

    Hi Could anyone shine a light on why when I build and open up my dvd project in Apple dvd player there is an audio glitch. But on the original mpeg there is no audio glitch there. I have chapter markered my project in fcp. I have ten storys and one chapter in each story.
    when played on a dvd player the glitches are not heard
    Any help on this matter would be great.
    sam

    in Apple dvd player there is an audio glitch. But on the original mpeg there is no audio glitch there.
    when played on a dvd player the glitches are not heard
    Have you played the DVD with more than one player without hearing glitches? What, exactly is the glitch? A click? In any case what you report suggests that there is a problem with Apple's DVD Player.
    Do you hear the glitch when you play the DVD (the physical disk) with Apple's DVD Player?
    I seem to be having a similar problem, but I haven't burned a disk and used a DVD player to play it. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1863240&tstart=0
    DVDSP shows my soundtrack file to be longer than what it actually is. Is that the case in your situation?

  • Screensaver in Apple DVD Player - what does this mean?

    Hello,
    I am building a dvd based kiosk using a MacPro and Apple DVD player running to a large plasma monitor. The setup works great except for the fact that when the kiosk is not being used, the menu screen will cause a burn-in on the monitor (this monitor does not offer display tracking, anti-burn technology). It appears that in DVD Player version 4.6.5., Apple has taken this into account and offered a preference under "Full Screen" to "Allow Screensaver on DVD menu in kiosk mode" - this sounds like what I need. However when I select this option, and kiosk mode, the screensaver never starts. I have played around with all of the settings in the DVD player and screensaver, but nothing works. - thanks you in advance for any suggestions!!!!
    MacPro 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    I think I just answered my own question!
    I can get around using a screensaver if I set DVD Studio Pro to timeout the main menu to a looping "screensaver type" video that I can create. This would allow the viewer to watch any video on the DVD, which would end by going to the main menu, which would then stay on the screen for two minutes, and then start the "screen saver video", I can then put a clear screen size button over the entire screen, so that the user can press enter to sent them back to the main menu. This will actually work a lot better than the Apple screensavers anyway..

  • Buttons don't navigate properly in Apple DVD Player!

    Hello there,
    This is extraordinarily frustrating! Can somebody please help ASAP?
    We're running DVD Studio Pro 4.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.9, and we just finished authoring a DVD with a layered menu created from a Photoshop document.
    When we put the DVD into a normal DVD player connected to our television, the remote control works as expected to navigate through our buttons. When we press right, it goes to the right (as we programmed it to do so). When we press left, it goes to the left (as we programmed it to do so). Everything works just fine!
    HOWEVER -- here is the problem: When we put it into our computer running APPLE'S VERY OWN Apple DVD Player, the simulated remote on the screen has a mind of its own! When we press right on one button, it will go to the left. When we press right on another button, it will go up. When we press down on one button, it will go left. This is absolutely MADDENING! And this is Apple's OWN player!
    We've also noticed that the simulator within DVD Studio Pro plays back the DVD verry slow... in a choked performance way. More so than we've seen with any DVD in the past. Is this part of the problem?
    We are pulling our hair out over here trying to solve this! Can anyone please help?
    Thanks!
    Scott

    An overlay style menu is a lot easier to create than a layer based one, and ionvolves just two flat files - one for the background (with everything on it that you want to show when buttons are not selected, etc) and one for the highlights (the overlay layer contains the shapes, text, tick, underline arrow or whatever that you want to show up when the button is selected).
    These menus react faster, take only one click to activate a button and support the use of audio. They can't get as graphically rich as a layer based menu and if that is the prime consideration then I'd recommend using a series of menus linked together to go between the different button states, as this is still better than a photoshop layer based menu (which, incidentally, gets turned into a series of linked menus anyway as your disc is being built!)

  • Apple DVD PLAYER ERROR

    After installing 10.5, opening Dvd player i received this error
    There was an initialization error
    A valid video device could not be found for playback [-70017]
    I've searched all over the forums with no solutions.
    i know its not a big problem with leopard but any workarounds would be apprec.
    The apple dvd player is version 5.0

    now I do not know if this is just me but I have had issues with the DVD player
    I played a DVD from a one on the older iDVD software (before iLife 08)
    the DVD would work in Tiger fine
    I downloaded Leopard, now i get a message if i select "play from beginning of the disk" "skipping over damaged areas"
    this also caused the DVD player to not play on my mac and the DVD player locked up
    I then tried selecting "begin from last time played and everything worked fine"
    the DVD player did not lock up
    this is definitely I feel a bug but i wonder if anyone else has had the similar issue
