Build Error Message "Compiler File Error"

Whenever i try to burn a DVD in DVD studio pro i get this error message:
"Starting DVD Build UNTITLED_DISC...
Compiler File Error
Build cancelled
Formatting finished.
Building was not successful. See log."
This occurs no matter how big my project is, how many files i use, or what format. I thought originally the video files i were using to burn were corrupted, but i have since tried many different video files and many different formats. This message continues to come up. I have even reinstalled DVD Studio Pro and nothing has changed.
I don't have any clue what's causing this message or how to fix it???
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP! THANK YOU!

Thanks for the help. I figured out the problem or at least one of the causes. I deleted the update: user->library->preferences->com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist and it fixed it.
That does not delete the update, it is deleting the preferences (which is one of the things always to do when things go nutso

  • Another Compiler Bug (message: An internal build error has occurred... Unknown Flex Problem)

    I was fighting with this problem for a few days. Finally I've got it resolved. I want to describe it and fill in BUG in the bug report, but I am not sure about Adobe support options. So, I am putting bug report here.
    1. ASSUMPTION: All problems which compiler reports as unknown problem are the real compiler BUGs/Problems. Eventually MXML compiler/ActionScript compiler should be able to take C++ or FORTRAN code or an aribitrary text and nicely tell "Error: It is not ActionScript (Flex) code" or "the code is corrupted from Line so and so...". When compiler crashed, it is most probably due to one of the states not handled (or not handled correct). Keeping this in mind I assume, that my code has nothing to do with the compiler crash.
    2. PROBLEM Description.
         - I tried to port our internal project from Flex3.5/Flex Builder 3 to Flex4.1/Flash Builder 4.
         - After checking out and trying to build code I start getting weird problems like Error 1037: Packages cannot be nested.
         - After cleaning and compiling project by project, walking up dependency tree, I was able to get rid of this problem.
         - On last Project I've got another problem (An internal build error has occurred... Unknown Flex Problem). Which I stuck with for a while.
         - When I checked log file I found following messages:

    Hi Faser,
    I just tried it on Vista with our latest FB Plugin build but
    I was unable to reproduce your issue with the following setup:
    - FB Plugin build installed by Administrator account user
    under her Documents folder
    - Administrator account user can launch, create Flex projects
    under her own workspace without any problems
    - Standard account user can launch the FB Plugin build (need
    Admin's password) and create Flex project (default location) under
    his own workspace
    If your setup is different, can you please log a bug at
    http://bugs.adobe.com/flex.
    Be sure to include what build you are using, whether it's
    reproducible, the detail of the setup, etc...
    thanks,
    Sharon

  • What is a Compiler File Error?

    I'm getting this error message when I try to burn my DVD.
    "Starting DVD Build ALLINTHEFAMILY...
    Compiler File Error"
    It happens right away. What's wrong?

    I think there is a bug in DVDSP4 and Apple needs to address this ASAP. The workable fix is to delete the DVDSP4 preference files.
    I was having the described problem, and I've seen numerous discussions of the issue on blogs and groups all over the net. In any case, when you have this "Compiler File Error" message, exit DVDSP, navigate to user->library->preferences->com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist and toss that puppy in the trash. Empty the trash. Restart DVDSP and burn without further problems...at least until next time!
    Hey APPLE! Wake up and fix this for us!!! Thank you!
    In Service of Mankind,

  • Compiler File Error

    I am unable to burn DVDs in DVDSP2. I get the same message each time: Compiler File Error. I have tried compressing as MPEG2, I have tried moving media to boot drive and I have tried re-loading Compressor and DVDSP and upgrading before opening. I have tried everything suggested here to solve this issue but have been unsuccessful so far. Any thoughts?

    I used the "DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes" presets in Compressor (Dobly Digital Pro 2.0 and MPEG-2 2.6Mbps 2-pass). By "gaps in the timeline" do you mean the FCP timeline? If so, no, there is only one movie.
    The project does not build at all. I click BURN, the INITIATE dialog box appears and closes immediately. The log then shows COMPILER FILE ERROR.

  • Continuous 'Compiler File Error'

    I've tried to burn various projects recently and each time I am getting a 'Compiler File Error' message. Can anybody advise what I should do to get rid of this. It's a real pain!
    Basically I have various projects which I'm unable to build it at all. Here's a run down on what's happening from the log...
    Starting DVD Build...
    Compiler File Error (in red)
    Build Cancelled
    Formatting Finished
    Building was not successful. See log. (in yellow)
    And there's nothing about this error message in the Help guide either.

    I had the very same problem. I simply moved the DVD Studio Pro prefs file found in system library>prefrences to my desktop. DVDSP will automaticly create a new pref file. If it fixed the problem you can trash the old pref file. This worked for me.

  • DVD Studio Pro: Compiler File Error

    Hi there,
    I'm running DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8, and until now, I've been successfully burning DVD projects. But suddenly, when I try to burn a DVD, I keep getting a message stating that the "build failed" due to a "compiler file error." Any clue how to solve this? My sound file is a .ac3, and my video is a .m2v.
    Thanks!

    It could be a number of things. Generally, you should try renaming your m2v and then re-importing it and setting it into the track it is in. Also, try trashing the PAR files (check your preferences for the location of these) which get created when you import an asset.
    Finally, try simply re-encoding the footage and going from there (add a new name for it too...)

  • [SOLVED] [mkinitcpio] initramfs "build error" messages since v.18-1

    However I can still boot and everything seems mostly fine. I haven't changed anything to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, here are the only customized parts:
    MODULES="i915 dm_snapshot"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck
    I'm using an encrypted root (ext4 over LVM over LUKS) and boot partition is contained in an (unencrypted) LVM logical volume. I also specify a few i915 module options in an /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file as per the Intel Graphics wiki page:
    # Intel graphics driver power-saving option :
    options i915 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1
    Never had any such warnings before, but now it appears each and every time I update or reinstall my kernel (the default one). I went through Mkinitcpio wiki page, tried putting question marks after the listed modules and rebuilding but it didn't change anything... Any ideas?
    Btw, I don't use any specific compression option and had the regular lzo name change during the same full system upgrade that updated mkinitcpio and linux.
    Thanks

    Yes indeed, removing /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf~ hidden backup file solved the warning issue. Strange but thanks ukhippo, I hadn't thought about checking other subforums!

  • IWeb 08 error message "The file format is invalid"

    I have been reading all of the problems regarding publishing iweb pages at the moment, I too cannot publish my site but I get a different error message
    "The file format is invalid"
    Can anyone help as to why I might be getting this message?
    My iDisk seems to have a very old version of my website stored and I don't know where to look to find the current versions files?
    Why hasn't iDisk got the most up to date version of my iWeb site and how do I get it to have?
    Which folder on the iDisk should your iWeb files be stored in?
    Sorry to ask so many questions but I am new to the publishing part after spending weeks building a site only to find it I get an error and my iDisk file structure holds old files.

    When I opened iWeb I could see the most up-to-date version of my site, I could edit it and save it (to where I don't know). When I opened the web and sites folder on my iDisk it contained only the files from a previous version of my website created months ago.
    I tried looking for the Domain file for my iWeb site and looked in my home folder, application support and then iWeb but the iWeb file in App support was empty.
    I believe the iWeb file in App support is where the Domain file should be located, correct?
    I have used Time machine to go back a week and have located the domain file and have restored it. The domain file now sits in the iWeb folder in App support in my Home, where it should be.
    Now when I load iWeb I see the version of my website that was created a week ago which is fine but iDisk still has the old file structure of my site from months ago.
    Can I delete the old file structure completely from the Sites folder on my iDisk? this should remove the old version of my website shouldn't it?
    How do I get the restored version of my website to appear in iDisk?
    Do I simply copy the Domain file into the sites folder on iDisk?
    My iWeb files on Mobile me are also the months old versions, how do I update these so my new site is all that I can see?
    Any answers to my 'File format' problem when trying to upload, is it because I don't have my iWeb files in the correct places?

  • Formatting Failed:  Compiler File Error

    Hello...
    Yesterday I got my crossgrade disks from Apple, so I upgraded my G4 Powerbook with the full Studio Pro upgrade, then made sure I had all current patches.
    When I opened up one of my DVD Studio Pro projects and clicked Burn, It failed with a dailog box that said "Formatting failed, Building was not successful, See log" so I looked at the log and it said in red "Compiler File Error"
    This project worked fine before I upgraded... So, for grins, I started from scratch and rebuilt the project and reimported the assets. Now I had just recompressed the video/audio with the new compressor as well... Anyway, same result. Also, when it fails, the OS-X window pops up that you normally get once you insert a blank DVD and you can choose an app or hit ignore.
    Can't figure this out... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Dave
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Once I upgraded, I recompressed the video (its about 14 min, and uses Dolby, not AIFF)... When I opened DVD Studio Pro, it prompted me that assets had changed, I said ok, then tried to burn and go the error. I then tried deleting the PAR folder, no help. So, I just closed the project, hit NEW and recreated the project (it was rather simple) and then tried to burn... Same error.
    I burned this same DVD two days ago under the old pre-universal version and it worked fine. I only recompressed because I heard that the new version performed much better.
    Sorta lost on this one... I don't see any reason why it shouldnt work. The log only says the one line and gives no other help.

  • Compiler File Error - DVDSP4

    I'm having a problem with DVDSP4 and burning DVDs.
    I now receive a "Compiler File Error" when attempting to burn a DVD. This is the first time I've encountered this problem. It occurs before the burn process actually starts. Does anyone know what causes this, and if there is a known work-around?
    Currently running OSX 10.4.7, DVDSP 4.03, on a G5...
    Thanks in advance.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks for the help all! Sorry I didn't think of using the search. I browsed through the first 5 pages or so, and didn't find what I was looking for, but it never occured to me to actually search for it... d'oh!
    At any rate, the Compiler error still occurs when I use the "Burn" feature, but I was able to Build & Format successfully. There was no preference file to delete (I'm assuming this is because none of the preferences have been changed, thus a seperate file was never created), but I did repair permissions, to no avail. I tried a reboot a number of times as well.
    Thanks again, I'll keep searching to try and solve my problem.

  • Help ! ever seen this in DVD Studio Pro : 'Compiler File Error' ?

    Help !
    This is a strange problem :
    Evertime I try to burn a disc, it says :
    Starting DVD Build DVD_
    Compiler File Error
    Build cancelled
    Formatting finished.
    Building was not successful. See log.
    Now I tried several different projects and it does it on multiple computers.
    Only explenation would be something I did in my DVD menu, or assets.
    If I burn it on my powerbook though, it works perfectly....
    Harry Potter was busy, so please help me, I'm getting desperate...
    Have the latest update, the latest OS, en DVD Studio Pro 4.2

    Welcome to the boards.
    Take a look at the log as it is compiling and see where the compile stops/crashes. Also download MPEG streamclip and open up the last VOB in the build folder in MPEG Streamclip. (VOB ares here, you will have different VOBs of course and numbers but look at the last one that has something in it) http://dvdstepbystep.com/vts.php It will show you the last part was compiled properly so you can look at the asset in the DVD SP project.
    Some things to look for
    1.) Gaps in the timeline in the audio or video. In fact I just had this happen. The project compiled fine in an older version of DVD SP (4.03) BUT would crash out at 4.2. Turns out there was a gap I had missed (doh!) somehow and cleaning it up would then cure then problem.
    2.) Did you make the audio AC3? What rates were the video encode? High rates can cause the compile errors.

  • Error message "Live file system repair is not supported."

    System won't boot. Directed to Disk Utility to repair but get error message "Live file system repair is not supported."  Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.
    John

    I recently ran into a similar issue with my Time Machine backup disk. After about 6 days of no backups - I had swapped the disk for my photo library for a media project; I reattached the Time Machine disk and attempted a backup.
    Time Machine could not backup to the disk. Running Disk Utility and attempting to Repair the disk ended up returning the "Live file system repair is not supported" message.
    After much experimentaion with disk analysis softwares, I came to the realization that the issue might be that the USB disk dock wasn't connected directly to the MacBook Pro - it was daisy-chained through a USB Hub.
    Connecting the USB disk dock directly to the MBP and running Disk Utility appears to have resolved the issue. DU ran for about 6 hours and succesfully repaired the disk. Consequently, I have been able to use that Time Machine disk for subsequent backups.
