Bit Rate Too High error message when I try to burn 3 minute DVD

I imported a Quicktime Mov from FCP, and when I try to burn to DVD, I get this message.
This has me worried, becuase this 3 minute part is only 1/3 of the whole piece that I am trying to run as a test to check contrast, color balance etc.
I'm not sure what the bit rate is, how to change it or what to change it to.
I don't know if I need to do this in FCP or in DVDSP.
Any help would be appreciated.

Then
http://dvdstepbystep.com/fasttrackover.php to A.Pack Dolby the audio (when you scroll to the bottom there is a link to a movie showing all the steps, about 1 minute or so in you will see Compressor, you can download and scroll to that pint to bypass the Final Cut section)
And make sure to compress the movie outside of DVD SP in Compressor
Basically there is only so high the bitrate can go, regardless of running time of video. If you use one of the presets in Compressor you should be okay as long as you use the A.Pack/AC3 and not the audio

  • Getting error message when i try to burn my DVD when i am done authoring

    error message says "Unsuccessful. Not enough space on media output device" I have been DVD SP 3 for years and have never gotten that message. The size of the project is under 2gigs, so the blank dvd is plenty big enough. Anyone ever get that error message?
    Thanks, Stone

    I don't think that's the problem, Shawn. Stone, I think the problem may be your hard drive. You apparently don't have enough free space for the build. Since DVD Studio Pro needs to "build" the project before burning it to DVD, the "output device" error message is probably referring to the build location (i.e. your hard drive) rather than the blank DVD. Either clear out some stuff on your hard drive, or find a different partition or drive that has more free space.

  • Stumped - Video Bit Rate too High Error

    I just upgraded to FCP 7x and I am trying to burn a disc on DV Studio Pro. It runs through the rendering fine, then when it is ready to burn it shuts down and says the video bit rate to high. So I went to the manual and the manual suggested changing the codec to Apple Pro 422, something like that. I did and am now still getting the same error. This has never happened before and I've been using FCP for 6 years. Anybody know what to do or has had a similar problem?

    Let's get some terminology correct. I believe you mean it "compresses" fine. How are you compressing the file. In Compressor?
    the manual suggested changing the codec to Apple Pro 422
    I think you may have misread that. All SD DVD's are made from m2v files for picture and ac3 or aif files for audio. Pro Res is an editing codec.
    This is my quick and easy how to make a first play SD DVD.
    Just send the sequence to Compressor (Right click the sequence and send or export to Compressor). From Compressor choose the settings for DVD Best Quality 90 minutes (If your project length is longer choose a longer time). Submit the files. This will create 2 files. An m2v for picture and ac3 for audio.
    Bring both of those files into DVDSP. Add the files to the empty track (a green box). Right click the track and select first play. Build the DVD then Burn.

  • Subtitles causing "video bit rate too high" error

    At least I think they are. My media was all encoded through compressor and when the build gets to:
    - Preparing Subtitles...
    - Muxing VTS011.VOB
    the next message is red...
    - Video Bitrate Too High
    - Build cancelled
    - Formatting finished.
    me... weeping in the corner

    Take a look at page 70 of the PDF for bit rates on alternate angle tracks to see if that was the issue.
    Also using a CBR intead of VBR has helped in some multi angle issues.
    Take a look at this thread where someone had chapter marker causing issues:

    Using my superdrive to burn on a Imation DVD-R 8x
    Disc Meter in DVDSP reads 1.3 GB

    Hey David-
    The total running time of all video (including video
    for motion menus) is 1001 seconds (the book told me
    to break it down into secon ds).
    As far as the bit rate, I checked it and am exporting
    currently to a max of 5 with an average of 4.5 (for
    the video).
    The audio is AIFF all the way, I think encoding in
    Dolby is something a newer version fo compressor
    does. I have FCP 4.5 with DVDSP 3.
    I did export the audio as PCM AIFF, didn't shrin kthe
    size in fact enlarged it slightly.
    Do you figure if I have a bit rate max of 5 on video
    with 3 1.5 bit rate audio tracks, I'll be all right?
    Tom J
    With your version of FCP & DVDSP, you'll need to encode the audio into Dolby Digital 2.0 with A.Pack, which is a separate program on your hard drive. With Final Cut Studio, Apple did away with A.Pack and merged its functionality into Compressor.

  • "Video bit rate too high" error

    When Building my DVD SP project, the compiler throws the above error when muxing one of the tracks (three previous tracks are compiled OK). Encode Mode is "One pass VBR", motion estimation is "good" and Encoding mode is "encode on build". I have changed the max. bitrate from 7 to the lowest available (about 5) and the average bit rate from 4 to much lower. No solution.
    The offending movie is a QT produced in FCE 4 using "Export as QT movie" (not "QT conversion".) It was made by my camera mounted on my car as it was driven around various roads.
    PAL, 16:9, standard definition (ie., not HD). The total size of the project reported by DVD SP is only 3.1 GB.
    I have in the past used Compressor. If that is the answer, what preset should I use?
    What can I do please? Thanks.
    Please note: I use DVD SP 3.0 and have Compressor 1.2

    SOLVED! I put it through Compressor (which I had not used for seveal years) and the problem has gone (as a recent answer to another poster advised — I should have done a search!).

  • Bit rate too high error

    hi,
    i am trying to burn my project which has 2 videos of 10 minutes each.
    one of those videos has 19 sub-menus, which are very simple pages with nothing more than a button that says play (leading to the 2nd video). I also have 19 subtitle streams. all the video was encoded in compressor and the audio is ac3.
    for bit rate setting i am using 6 and a max at 7. still getting error. not sure what the next step is here. the total i see as the project in terms of space looks like only 800 megs so i am not sure why i am getting this error. please help. thanks.

    Try trashing your preference and getting rid of any PAR file associated with the disc and rebuild. Delete your old asset from the import window and trash it on your computer as well. If that doesn't work I would build the project from scratch and try again. Im looking for the data rates for a subtitle but I cant find it right now. But 6 mb/s CBr should be good.

  • Iam getting the following message when i try and burn a dvd using my mac The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
    Can anyone help
    Thanks

    Unfortunately your drive has *probably* failed. You can try a cleaning disc, sometimes thst can help. First though try resetting the smc and pram.
    To reset the smc on Desktop Macs
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • MUXER Bit rate too high

    I am in the process of creating a PAL version of an existing NTSC DVD
    I created PAL-compliant video files from iMovie.
    Then, I took the existing NTSC DVDSP project, and:
    - deleted the existing video files from the clips and the Assets
    - Set the video standard to PAL
    - Saved the DVDSP project under a new name
    - Imported the PAL video files as assets and attached them to the clips.
    I left the audio files as is (all AC3)
    I kept the same menus (Menu1 has a PAL video as a background)
    When I try to build, I get an Muxer Bit Rate too High error message right after the Auto play segment is processed (see log below)
    The Autoplay segment is a slideshow made up of jpeg pictures with a "cube" transition. There are two audio streams and two subtitles streams (one in English, the other in French).
    I never had that problem when burning the NTSC version. What do I need to change?

    Dual 1.25 G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   DVDSP 3.3

    While waiting for an answer, I tried a few things.
    I solved the problem by re-doing the slideshow for the Autoplay segment.
    I believe that the issue was the fact that I had converted the slideshow into a track in the NTSC version.
    That track had to be removed and re-created in the PAL version (just like any other video asset).
    Hoping that this will help someone else.

  • My Mac OSX is coming up with error message when i try to write a disc "The disc can't be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0x80020020)." Same also when I tried my external disc writer-any clues?

    My Mac OSX (version 10.7.5) is coming up with error message when I try to write a disc "The disc can’t be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0x80020020)." I have tried several discs with the same message - Same also when I tried my external disc writer. Both disc drives will read my discs that have music or photos on it, it just won't write any new discs - any clues?

    Hi Klaus1
    So, I tried all the suggestions and followed the links - all to no avail.
    as you can see, (screenshot below) my iMac is a 21.5 inch late 2009 model which isn't showing in the updates listed above
    My system report shows that my Mac has the following:
    I reset the PRAM and the SMC - still have the same error message when I try to burn discs. I've used both CD's and DVD's and tried with my external Discwriter too.
    Any further suggestions??

  • PCM problem - Muxer Bit Rate Too High

    I'm continually receiving the error "Muxer error Bit Rate Too High." I've narrowed it down to the PCM audio that I'm using. I know many would recommend that I switch to .AC3. Unfortunately, that is not an option.
    I received audio from 3 sources. From an audio post house, the quicktimes produced on my mac and the encoded PCM files from the Maestro real time mpeg encoder. The weird thing is that the PCM files from the real time encoder work fine. If I remove all the audio, but leave the PCM from Maestro...there are no issues.
    I have even gone as far as outputting from FCP to dbeta and then re-encoding with Maestro and that didn't work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Erik, you may be about to hate me, but I am just making sure I understand the process of elimination, you deleted all audio from all tracks and ONLY left the PCM audio on the main track and it did not build? And the same thing for each of the menus (all audio out of the project except for a menu at a time?)
    1.) Not sure how you made the menus or you default preferences within DVD SP, but if the encoding rate for menus was high and it was a motion menu the spike could still happen.
    2.) If the steps were as above, take a look at the build file on your computer to see where it is crashing out and/or watch the log to see what is being muxed when the projects crashes
    3.) If in fact that leaving just the PCM audio in the track by itself (not the 5.1) you may want to delete preferences and the MPEG/PAR files that DVD SP creates and also repair permissions. Then take the PCM and try rexporting from Quicktime to AIF and use a different name for the file such as "SecondTry.aif" so it is clear it is the other file.
    BTW which version of DVD SP are you running and which version of QT?

Maybe you are looking for
