Building DVD from DVD folder

I ma having some problems archiving my Encore project. My workflow was as follows:
I have successfully burned a DVD disk from Encore. I then built a DVD folder and this seemed to work - indeed the resulting files work fine in PowerDVD. I then tried to build a second DVD disk, bit this time from the folder. First time I tried this I didn't get an erroe message, but the disk was unplayable on my set top play. The second time I tried it, Encore just cancelled the burn and ejected the disk...
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Many thanks
Julian

Use Nero to burn from the folder, it even allows you to use multiple burners at the same time to reduce time needed for multiple copies.

DVD from TS folder

Hi, I created a DVD and kept the video TS folder but deleted the original video assets. Is there a way to burn a new DVD from the data in the video TS folder?

Aspect ratio problem in Windows Media Player for DVD from DVD Studio Pro

So I made a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and it looks good in Apple's DVD Player, on an Insignia DVD player appliance and on Playstation 2. Both the movie and the deleted scene were 16:9 from camera to Final Cut Pro and they show that way in all these players.
But on Windows Media Player for Windows XP, the program thinks the movie is 4:3 and the deleted scene is 16:9. Nero's Showtime has the same exact behavior, but at least you can force aspect ratio on Nero.
Besides being longer, the movie is different from the deleted scene in that the movie was originally out of Final Cut Express on an older Mac and it was encoded big endian. The deleted scene was output from Final Cut Pro and encoded little endian. I didn't think it would make a difference, but I tried outputting the movie from Final Cut Pro on the newer Mac and it did come out little endian. I took that into DVD Studio Pro, got rid of the old VIDEO_TS folder and re-built the project, burnt a new DVD. Then I went back to Windows and...
...the same exact problem. Some of the people I give this DVD to will be using Windows Media Player to view it, which is why I want this to not be an issue at all. What am I overlooking?

Look, everyone here (who each have been creating DVDs for over a decade) is telling you the same story. WMP is buggy. Everyone in the industry knows that. Hardware manufacturers like Dell and HP, know that. Why don't you use the DVD player program that they put on the hard drive? Sure one "Hollywood" title works. Did I mention that WMP is buggy? Test a thousand titles, and I'm certain that you will find some discs have problems on WMP, and WMP alone. (And it isn't my assertion that Hollywood DVDs have issues in WMP, everyone is telling you that.) No one has a solution for this, except to not use WMP. Let me repeat once again, no one has a solution for this except to not use WMP. It is impossible to add any sort of programming to the disc that will detect which player is being used to play the disc and compensate for the problems of that player.
Let me put it this way, if you have a disc that plays fine on Zeus's device, and on Apollo's device, and on Hera's device, and on Hermes' device, and on Artemis' device, but you have problems with Athena's device, then logically, Athena's device has a problem... not the disc. Your own experience has proved this to be true. If you were having problems with every device used, THEN you could rightfully say that there is a problem with the disc.

Burning playable DVD from VIDEO_TS Folder

A friend of mine had a DVD Demo Reel that was damaged and wouldn't play, so i was able to rip the files (VIDEO_TS) folder onto my hard drive from the DVD using MacTheRipper.
Is there a program (preferably free) that i can burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD so it will be playable in a DVD Player? I used to use Discribe to do it (came free with my ext burner) but i can't get that program to work on my new MacBookPro.
ANY help is greatly appreciated!

Burn DVD from VIDEO_TS folder

Hello! In 10.4 we used to burn video DVDs in Toast by dragging a folder containing VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and clicking burn. Is there any built-in functionality in 10.5 that will achieve this, or must we purchase a new version of Toast? We also have Final Cut Studio 2, if that would help.

As Kurt stated, a version of Toast that works in 10.4 also will work in 10.5 for what you're doing. As for anything built in to OS 10.5, you need to use the application DVD Imager to create a UDF-format disc image before burning it with Disk Utility to a video DVD, just as in 10.4.

How to burn valid video DVDs from VIDEO_TS folder

Hello,
Sorry if this topic is not in the proper location, but as the question is broad, I thought this was the best place to ask.
I just want to burn files located in a VIDEO_TS folder, properly ripped on the hard drive, so as to make a valide Video DVD.
I already attempted to use Burn, to no avail; it fails withing the first seconds, and outputs this line in the Console:
19/06/09 15:24:16 /Applications/Burn.app/Contents/MacOS/Burn[596] Unexpected quarantine error: -43; ignoring
I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware, and using Nero on Ubuntu does provide a valid DVD.
Thx for help

I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware
But it's worth every cent of it! I have been using it for a long time and can't even remember the last time I stuffed up a disk, burning DVDs Music & MP3 CDS, photo cd's data etc.
I have tried a couple of freeware and shareware programs that are supposed to be ok, but spent most of the time producing drink coasters. if there is one program I think everyone should fork out for it would be Roxio Toast.
maybe someone can recommend a freebie, but I will always swear by Toast and think it has easily paid for itself already.
Cheers

Watch dvd without burn DVD from DVD Studio Pro 4

My client wants to see DVD now and we are 3,000 miles apart. I created DVD project as img file. But it is huge file size to upload. Is there a way to view DVD project through http online?

Encore I believe has a way to build a "mock-up" via Flash Export, which may be what you are referring to. (I am pretty sure it does in face, just have not opened it in awhile, Encore is kind of clunky compared to DVD SP.)
Something to consider is using Toast which allows you to compress the size of the DVD, though of course there will be a drop of the quality of the footage. But if it is proofing links and general functions, it may be what you need. There is other software that does the same thing.
You may also set up a remote access to your computer, if you are comfortable with that and the user could try to view via DVD Player on your machine.

How find software to run/instal DVD from DVD drive? DVD drive?

How to find/instal software that will install/run application program after loading DVD into drive?

What specific "application program" are you referring to? We'll need to know what it is you wish to install and run before anyone can offer suggestions.
If the DVD on which this "program" exists is not mounting in your Mac at all, that will be a different issue, and again we'll need more details, such as whether only this DVD is having problems mounting or whether no DVD will mount.
Regards.

Output from DVD Studio Pro plays on computer but not on TV DVD?

When I output a DVD from DVD Pro (16:9) it plays fine on the computer (and other computers) but not on a conventional DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

I don't want to take over this thread, but figured why start another when I am having this exact same issue. I create my project, everything is good, I simulate it and everything is good, I burn it to disc and play it on the computer and everything is good, try it in a conventional player and it says it's unreadable and kicks it out. I've tried it in Two different players that both have been able to play movies created in iDVD just fine.
I browsed my disc I created and it didn't have the standard files (VOB etc) so I thought maybe I mistakenly burned it in HD, checked the encoder settings adn they were set to HD. Fixed that so it was 16:9 SD, burned another and same exact result. Do I need to create a whole new project so it will encode the whole thing in SD? I did do a new movie track and it should have encoded it at SD but I think everything else (Menus, Slideshow, etc) are all in HD still (maybe???). Any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated.

Mac pro DVD Writer + DVD Studio pro + Toshiba HD-EP10 - HD DVD Player !!

Hi there..
I tried to make a short HD project in 4.7GB DVD by Mac pro Standard DVD Writer and i tried to play it in Toshiba HD-EP10 - HD DVD Player ( it gives msg ... the disc not contained DVD format and cannot be played ) so what is the mistake which i maded??
Mac Pro DVD writer can Burn HD Project OR should i by HD DVD Burner?
Can i make HD DVD in 4.7GB DVD?

ok
how about the HD DVD Burning .. should i buy HD DVD Burner or the mac pro DVD Writer will solve this problem? and it will burn HD DVD SL-15GB and DL-30GB ?
You cannot burn a 15 or 30 Gig DVD from DVD SP and it is not supported by DVD SP. You can build those to a hard drive for replication
also what is the basic steps to creat the HD project in HD DVD not the DVD 5 and compatible with the toshiba player?
Best Regard.
You can make a HD DVD on the DVD 5 which will play with the Toshiba and it will give HD quality (and will not play on an SD player) video results, though you cannot author the extras that HD has (the new features in HD as compared to SD DVD), pretty much menus and playback of video. The steps above will create the DVD 5. Have not tried writing to a DVD 9 size for more running time

From EncoreCS3 DVD-9 VIDEO_TS folder to replication house via DDP (mastering steps in GEAR etc.)

Ok, the "solution" or steps I'm trying to provide here is not complete, just the way I see it now. We will do it this way as we want to deliver the DVD-9 dual layer DDP master to the replication house. The intention is that this should be corrected or fullfilled in order so that in the end we have a proper guide for everyone here, so people, read this, and share you info and if there is anything to be corrected or tips for making things work better.
Here we go:
Let's assume we have created successfully a VIDEO_TS folder from Encore CS3, meaning we have not set a layer break yet, but otherwise we have a working product.
STEP 1. SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideobreakpoint.cfm
Possible problems: non-seamless cells don't exist in the layer break window
Possible solution: Use PGCEdit to change the cell type from seamless to non-seamless. This happens by opening the VIDEO_TS folder with PGCEdit and then double clicking on the VTS which holds the layer break point "window" (the VTS you chose in GEAR). Then you deselect the seamless joint checkbox in the cell (making it non-seamsless) you want to use as the layer break. Then you press OK and save the DVD. After that you create a new project in GEAR, do the layerbreak calculations based on the newly changed VIDEO_TS (with the non-seamless cell) and re-open the selected VTS_xx_0.IFO now in IFOEdit where you can now find the a proper non-seamless cell address for the layer break. Now you should be able to finish setting the non-seamless layer break in GEAR.
Question: Do we have to and do we need to have the When saving, leave at least 32K of space between IFO and BUP" from the Options to be on when we do this in seamless joint change and save the dvd in PGCedit?
STEP 2. CREATE DDP IMAGE FROM THE PROJECT, guide: http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideotoddp.cfm
STEP 3. TEST THE DDP IMAGE BY BURNING IT ON DVD-R DVD-9
First you need to restore the DDP Image you just created, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/restoreddpimage.cfm
Burn the restored VIDEO_TS folder to DVD-9 with GEAR, guide
http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/burndvdmovies.cfm
STEP 4. SEE HOW THE PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE LAYER BREAK SET
-If the product looks good and the layer break makes you satisfied, deliver the DDP image to replication factory for replication.
.............Ok people, share your thoughts if something is wrong or if you got points to remember, answers to the questions given, suggest changes, or even better, write here a better version of this guide? The aim would be in the end having a guide which says all the required things in order to achieve a successfull DVD-9 project.

Neil, once again, thanks a lot.
>The seamless/non-seamless question is a bit of a non-issue unless you are using multiple camera angles, as this is all it refers to. Unless you have multiple angles, ignore this completely.
In Multiple Angles (unsupported in Encore anyway) Seamless means there is no pause in playback when switching between angles. That is all.
So, I really thought the seamless/non-seamless would have affect on the actually layer switching when playing the DVD, so that it might affect the slight layer switch pause time. It's just that the gear guide says that you need to find a non-seamless break in the IFOedit, and that's it, so I guess it is a bit missleading there in that GEAR guide. But, I'm glad you cleared this out that this only has to do something with the multiangle views.
>The 32kb of space is a "must-tick" option, otherwise you stand a high chance of having the master rejected by the factory. Nero is a bugger for running these 2 files (Video_TS.IFO & Video_TS.BUP) into what the player will see as one file.
Ok, so unless you use PGCEdit, this should be already ok in your project, right? But if you use PGCEdit for something like changing the seamless joint for multiple angles to your VIDEO_TS folder, this selection should be always on in PGCEdit.
>One gotcha though - early versions of the GEAR Spreadsheet for calculating the layer break seem to give the VTS to use the start sector from as VTS_xx_0.VOB - this is wrong.
Yeah, luckily this seems to be fixed now in the GEAR guide calculator.
Another way I've found that is useful what comes to the selecting the layer break from the layer break "window" for your project is this:
In order to know exactly where the cell starts in your video, you can use IMGBurn to preview the cells, so that you can choose the most suitable cell from the "layer break window". This means following the SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition guide to the point where you have found out the "layer break window". Then when going to the IFOedit you can see the cells that fall in to this window. Mark them down in your notepad and open the VIDEO_TS in IMGBurn, set the BUILD mode, choose to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and proceed the workflow ahead until you get to the set the layer break window. In this window you can preview the cells of the project, being able to see the videos of the cells. Go through the cells you marked in the IFOedit and find the cell that starts in the least disturbing place where the possible pause might occur during the moment when your dvd player changes the layer. When you've chose your cell, cancel the process and continue what you were doing in the GEAR layer break guide.
If there are any other methods for this test purpose, or if there is something I'm missing, please share?
Question about choosing the layer break cell: Is it the fact that no matter how you have bitcalculated your project size when building it in Encore, the layer break window that the GEAR spreadsheet provides you, doesn't take this into account at all? Meaning, if you choose the biggest cell number from the layer break window to be the layer break cell, it will go over the 4% overhead at the outer layer edge? If this is the case, you shouldn't use the last cells from the layer break window at all? And should we always try to choose the cell with the smallest number no matter what (in order to make the layer break as far from the layer's outer edge)?

Importing songs to itunes folder from dvd's

i have a data dvd backup of all my 1400 songs from itunes folder. i tried to import it into a newly dowloaded version of itunes on my laptop with new hard drive.. it placed all the song info in the library, so i connected my ipod and directed it to this new library. it updated ipod successfully. but when i tried to play, i realized that i had only imported the song titles, etc. into itunes folder and subsequently onto ipod.. and because i directed to this "new" library, i lost all 1400 songs on the ipod.. pls help. how do i get my music from data dvd backup to library and to ipod. and do i have to import each song separately.. there are like 25 different folders on the dvd of albums, and downloads from itunes store....i just want what i had before my hard drive died. forgive me if i didn't post this right, my first time...

Note - You don't need to copy them to the HD first,
as btabz suggested.
There are different ways to import music. You can copy them (the music files) onto the HD wherever you want and then import into iTunes, or have iTunes import directly off the DVD and put the files in the iTunes Music Folder. Both ways get the music into iTunes and stored on your HD. It depends if you want the music in the iTunes Music folder or not. With the way I suggested, the music is placed where you want, instead of having iTunes put it where it wants.
Both ways will work fine though.

Blank CDR and DVD not shown in finder - impossible to burn from Burn Folder

Since I have installed Snow Leopard on my Imac, Blank CD's and DVD's are not seen in the finder. No matter what I select in:
Systempreferences > CD's and DVD's (ask task / show finder etc...) the discs do not appear (I tried with all sorts).
Yet the disks are seen in Utilities > Disk Utility and also recognized in System profile.
When I make a New Burn Folder, after getting the prompt: insert disk,and inserting, nothing happens. Then I cancel, and finally get the message "The disk cannot be used because it is not recognized". I get this message with any disk type.
Using the same disks, but burning from I-tunes, I-movie, I-DVD I have no problem at all.
The exact same things happens on my Macbook, since Snow Leopard has been installed.
Smells very buggy. Anyone knowing a solution?
Thanks,
Vincentini

I am having the same problem but get no error messages.
Burn command given from burn folder on desktop, insert disc message appears, insert disc, 30 seconds later disc ejects, no message, no burn?

Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

Thanks for your reply:
I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck
I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

I just switch from tape to digital. The video has a little bounce when played on tv. I copyied the DVD to a folder

I just switch from tape to digital. The video has a little bounce when played on tv. I copyied the DVD to a folder, and burned it to a dvd.
I can see in bounce at the bottom of the screen.

David
Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
You could go back to the project and, in the Edit area, scale out the bouncing bottom edge. I am assuming that it will be visible there.
Then do another burn to folder, and then take the saved folder's VIDEO_TS to DVD disc with your 3rd party software, presumed ImgBurn.
If you want to scale width and height together, then leave the check mark next to Constrain Proportions in Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded. If you want to scale width and height separately, the remove the check mark next to Constrain Proportions in Motion Panel expanded.
Please let us know the results. We might consider the Crop Effect also. (fx Effects/Transform/Crop with edits of it int Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Crop Panel expanded).
Thank you.
