Burning additional DVD's authored in FCPX

Hello,
The "sharing' facility to create a DVD from FCPX has no parametrs I can adjust. namely, the poor sound quality and levels.
In DVD Pro I could adjust the parametrs for optimum quality, and save that setting for all music video's.
Now that DVD Pro is no longer available my only option is to use Compressor and to tweak my settings, but how do I burn the DVD from compressor?
The files that Copmpressor and FXPX build will not be imported by iDVD, and I don't actually want to use iDVD and it's templates.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank ylou.

If you want to use iDVD, export as a plain QT ProRes 422 file. iDVD will import and work with that.
To burn "multiple" copies in Compressor, write to Hard Drive, not the burner. This makes a disk image. Double-click to open it, then burn the TS_AUDIO and TS_VIDEO folders to a regular data DVD.

BURNING ADDITIONAL DVDs

I have coded 14 slide shows and burned individual DVDs which run successfully on ordinary DVD players. I now want to make more copies in 2 ways:
1) Burn additional DVDs of each with one per DVD. Must I recode them again and burn? Grrrr, if so.
2) "Bundle" several of the shows onto 1 DVD. How do I do that? The Adobe documentation doesn't give a clue.
Thanks for any ideas.

Stephen,
Yes, I am a professional and usually work in PrPro. I am working on a similar Project for a client, that begins in the 1860's and goes up until very current times. Though it focuses on on member of the family, the full "tree" is used to set the stage. Right now, we've got over 2000 scanned still images, over 100 3-D animations and motion Assets from Mac-based animators, over 100 separate Video Clips, and maybe 300 Titles. Every still image is separately animated and is over an abstract background to compensate for vertical and square images. The entire Project is scored, and there will be minimal narration. This is done to produce an 8-DVD set, that will be distributed to about 25 surviving family members.
In PrPro, I can work with Sequences (think of these as mini-Projects within a larger Project), and there are 19 at this moment.
Were I working in PrE, I would just have 19 Projects, and would Export/Share each of these to a "Master Project," for assembly and final output. Even with PrPro, I still have a similar step, as I use a separate authoring program, Adobe Encore, to do my output to DVD-Video. There, I assemble the DV-AVI files from my Sequences (the number changes, per the individual DVD that I am working on), add my Menus by hand, and establish the links to the Encore Timelines. PrE does this for you in a semi-automatic way. You would Export/Share as DV-AVI's then Import into that Master Project - I Export to DV-AVI and then Import these as a Timeline in Encore. Same number of steps, though I am using two different programs, while you are using to separate Projects in the same program. The biggest difference is that you only need to pick a Menu Set, set your DVD Markers, and push one button. I have to do the "assembly" by hand and manually link everything together for my navigation. Much more hand-work, but with the benefit of much more power and greater control. However, I am doing 3-D animations that launch, when one chooses a Button, to seamlessly start that Button's Timeline. As I said, a whole lot more work.
I think that you have everything that you need to do your Boy Scout Project. It's probably all sitting in front of you, and you are but a few steps away from getting the job done.
Let's start a new thread, so that others will be able to find and follow along with the assembly of your Projects into a Master. If you could do a little list of the Projects that you have already, and how you would like to assemble them into that Master, I'll be glad to step you though every phase of this Project. To me, the editing is the "fun part," and I'd love to make it so for you. The "work" will just be the Export/Share of those intermediate Projects. That will take some time, but it would for me too. Personally, I find that a good time to jump on my laptop, and hang out here - while the workstation is crunching the Export.
Once we get you started, It should be the same for you. Let's get you though Lesson 1, with that new post and an outline of the Project, and while you're doing the Export/Share, we'll move on to Lesson 2. Piece-o-cake!
When time comes to establish your navigation, we'll likely want a bit of input from others (they are more than welcome at every step, BTW), as I do not use PrE for my authoring, and there are major differences between the authoring function in PrE and Adobe Encore. I'll need some "lessons" here too. Once we have that part behind us, I'll step you though getting ready to Burn multiple DVD-Videos as efficiently as is possible.
In that new post, please give me a rundown of your system. Things like the number of physical burners, and even your available HDD space can determine which path we take. It can be very easy, but I do not want to make suggestions that do not play with your system.
I do not think that you will need my assistance, beyond this forum. If you decide otherwise, I'll be your "safety net." Note: I do not have PrE 8, so I could not open your Project files. Though PrPro can open most PrE Project files, my version, PrPro 2.0, cannot open PrE 8 files - I've already tried this. This would mean that you'd still have to do the Export/Share to DV-AVI and then ship those large files to me on an external HDD, for me to do the final edit. You will still be doing the majority of the "heavy lifting," and the next few steps would be so easy for you.
If you need to get input as to what would be beneficial in that next post, do not hesitate to PM (Personal Message) me through the PM tab in your Profile. I'll get you a list of details. I'd also like to keep the real lessons in the forum for two reasons: remember that authoring in PrE is not my strong suit, and those lessons are likely to help others with similar Projects in the future. If we did it all via PM and e-mail, then others will not benefit, and when we get to authoring in PrE, I will still need to post for help in this forum, so I can get you through that phase.
Good luck, and I'll be looking for that new post,

After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

Error-29, Cannot burn a DVD or save a disc image from within FCPX using Mountain Lion

Really stumped on this one.
Running Mountain Lion, freshly downloaded version of FCPX, on a 2009 MacPro with 16 G RAM.
Trying to share a 4 minute movie I edited.
- No problem exporting as a quicktime move...worked fine
- Big problem trying to either burn a DVD, save a disc image, or export to an Apple device.
The progress bar gets about 90% complete, and then it stops and a message window comes up that says:
There was an error burning your disc. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error-29)
Thoughts?

From Crash Analyzer:
DSPPublishing error -29 (Final Cut Pro X)
This error can occur when burning a disc if your menu has incompatible assets.
Suggested Actions
If your menu has a background image, make sure the image is not too large. Try reducing the size of the image and saving it as a JPEG or PNG.

Help. trying to burn a dvd from fcpx. says bitrate too high

I'm using fcpx for a montage with effects like generators etc...not sure if this is why it says bitrate too high. I want to burn a dvd and it stops at 66% saying bitrate too high. I've seen an answer from 2011....wondering if anyone has anything new? My computer is Mac book pro 15 inch, latest software. I went to compressor but the final product doesn't allow me to put in a title and i'm worried about final quality. Thanks for any help

I would say usually it's about the same. If the settings are adjusted properly, it can sometimes improve the results; conversely, there's always the potential to get terrible results if the settings are wrong. (FCP X Share kind of takes that risk out of the process.)
Where the software can often add value is when you have long videos that you're trying to fit on a disk. Or trying to compress certain HD material with complex scenes. Or sometimes, you'll run into players that choke on a DVD and the adjustments in Compressor give you a chance to adjust the bit rate to a level that widens the disk's playability. And there are audio and video effects that can be added in Compressor without re-editing in FCP.
BTW, I don't believe you've yet told us how long your project is.

Anyone know what I do when attempting to burn a dvd and the message "authority failed" appears?

Hey guys. Anyone able to help me out? Have burned multiple times on my MacBook with the downloaded Burn program. Just got iMac, downloaded, transfered the files to the right place, it began to work, then "Authority failed, there was a problem authorizing the DVD". Transfered the same file over to MacBook, was incapable of burning it. Did a test with a different file/movie I had made, was capable. Any chance the particular movie I am trying to burn is to large for the Burn program? Any ideas? I'm in a bind here with people waiting to see this stuff.

PRE_help
For Premiere Elements user, I would make note that the presets for burn to disc cannot be customized by the user within the program.
a. The second thread that you pointed rkclarke36 to does talk about resolving this issue by changing the burn to disc frame rate from
24 fps to 30 fps. But, that was for Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements. In Premiere Pro, can the user really customize an Adobe burn to disc
preset?
For Premiere Elements
If the burn to is to DVD disc for DVD-VIDEO, the user is
confined to two frames rate, 25 interlaced frames per second or 29.97 interlaced frames per second. But, he/she cannot change the frame rate
within the preset.
If the burn to is to DVD disc for AVCHD DVD, the user again meets different presets, but cannot change the frame rate within the preset. For Premiere Elements 13 burn to AVCHD disc, the presets are
Premiere Elements 13
H.264 1440 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
H.264 1440 x 1080i PAL Dolby
H.264 1440 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
H.264 1920 x 1080i NTSC Dolby
H.264 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby
H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby
Except for the two 1080p presets with frame rate of 23.976 progressive frames per second, the other presets all have a frame rate of 29.97 interlaced frames per second NTSC or 25 interlaced frames per second.
b. Mark has not yet offered the details of the Timeline content (video and/or stills) being taken to burn to DVD-VIDEO or AVCHD DVD. So, frame size as per your first mentioned link might be an avenue to pursue. I would include that with all my testing of Premiere Elements 4 to 13, I have not gotten this particular dll error
with any oversized stills.

Is it possible to burn a DVD from FCPX in 16:9 aspect ratio?

I am using FCP X 10.1.1 on an iMac with OS 10.9.3
I have HD video shot in 1080X720. I realize a dvd isn't HD, but I would like to try and get the wide screen aspect. Is that even possible? I would love any sort of assistance! Thanks much!
-R

Yes.
Just go ahead and burn the DVD which will finish up with whatever aspect the project is.
A 16:9 aspect ratio has nothing to do with hi-def, it's just that hi-def in the last 10 years has adopted that ratio but it was used long before then, together with 4:3, for standard def DV.

What do I do wrong, cant burn a DVD from FCPX 10.1.1

It comes with this window

OK.
Then we'll need some more basic information: System specs; Original media format; project settings.
Are you using physical media or making a disk image?
Have you ever before exported and burned a DVD with your current setup?
Can you export this project with any other share options – for example, a master file? If you cannot, are you able to export another existing or a test project?

I have a new macbook air that comes with iMovie '11 but not iDVD. There seems to be no way for me to burn a DVD. What can I do?

How can I get my project onto a DVD? Why doesn't the computer come with iDVD?

Hi
What's even worse is that Mac Book Air - Do not have any DVD-station at all !
You need a DVD-burner. There are external USB-connected ones.
You need DVD authoring program as iDVD or Roxio Toast@ or Burn (free)
my General notes:
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs (if it has a DVD-burner) - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)

How to burn a dvd created in iMovie with OS Maverics - why is it in MP4 format and not .MOV?

I have created a movie in iMovie, shared it and put it in a burn folder on my desktop, then tried to burn it. It seemed to work (the hard disc was spinning and computer told me when it was finished) but when i tried to play it on my Macbook Pro (which is where I created it) it won't play. It is in MP4 format. iMovie used to create movies in .Mov format. Is this the reason it won't play and what can i do about it?

Hi
A. making a .mp4 file then putting it onto a DVD (via Finder/DeskTop) results in a DATA-DVD - which can not be played by any (to my knowledge) Standard DVD-Player.
But if inserted into a window-PC and using VLC-player - I GUESS that it will play just fine.
B. To be played in a Standard DVD-Player You need to do a VIDEO-DVD and to do this You need a DVD-Authoring program (it is a MUST)
C. Things that use to go wrong are:
- Using cheap brands of DVD discs as Memorex, NoName etc - I only use Verbatim
- Using DVD+/-RW - usually do not work, DVD+R usually works BUT not on older DVD-players - I only use DVD-R
- BURN SPEED - as faster as more BURN ERRORS (WORSE) - in iDVD - Best IS NOT BEST AT ALL - I never go faster than x4 - most often I use x2
Reg Authoring programs:
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.

DVD-9 Authoring

I finally have a project that warrants DVD-9 authoring. I have never authored a DVD-9 only 5's. I am using Encore 1.5 and have a Sony 830A dual layer burner. The DVD will have a main menu with a Play Movie, Scene Selection, Trailer and Bonus Features. The main movie is about 95 min and then of course all the other movies are a shorter length. I have several questions.
1) After it is contructed in Encore and I select Make DVD Disc - what should I expect to happen? Will the DVD burn normal to a DVD 9 disc or will there be a break in which I have to do something?
2) Could this project be written to a DVD-9 disc or does it require a DLT?
3) Will I encounter any errors or disc pasuign when it is played on consumer DVD players?
Anything info you can extend to me would be appreciated. I am totally new to the DVD-9 world.
Thanks, Steve

Steve.
To answer your questions first.
1 - You must set a Layer Break. Written discs (and usually replicated discs) use a method known as OTP Mastering (Opposite Track Path). This is basically a way of telling the system how to create the disc, and requires Layer 0 to be bigger than Layer 1 as when the player gets to the end of Layer 0, after going from the inner part of the disc towards the outer part it will refocus onto Layer 1, and the read head will then travel back in the opposite direction to the inner of the disc.
This break point must fall between timelines for it to be seamless (Un-noticeable to the viewer) - failure to follow this guideline will result in a momentary freeze at the transition point. Whilst this is not out of spec, it is obviously undesirable. An alternative place for a layer break is at a convenient point in the main timeline - such as a blackout, or an obvious scene change. There must be a chapter marker at the required point.
2 - Depends on the intentions. If you want this to be replicated, use DLT tapes - one for each layer (If you want to use any form of Copy Protection, DLT use is mandatory as Encore is incapable of outputting a DDP image or a CMF image).
You can - if you really, really must, use a DVD-R DL disc (some factories will accept DVD+R DL, but this is NOT recommended as DVD+R is not a valid DVD-Forum approved format, and uses a completely different Layer Break system compared to DVD-R DL, which is an approved format. Most peoples issues with Layer Breaks are related to this fact. DVD+R DL will *always* split the content in half unless you over-ride this behaviour.
Another factor is reduced reflectivity is bad in all written media, but in DL media it is far, far worse. You should never use DL media asa production master at all.
i You will have compatibility problems if you do - guaranteed.
Include a DL playable disc as a
i reference
disc so the factory can see what
i should
happen.
Always ask for a test mould as well. Much better to head off any issues before tens of thousands of discs are replicated.
3 - Almost certainly YES - unless you see point one above, and set the break at a point
i between timelines.
In addition, you have other issues. Players are not required to play written discs at all. Most will play single layer discs, some -R and others +R, yet more will play both. Playback of a dingle layer +R disc is no guarantee the player will read a DL disc though. I have players here that will read a DVD+R but not a DVD+R DL - Layer 1 is inaccessible on these players.
Transition pauses are very common too - so unless you don't mind a pause, make absolutely certain you get the disc layout correct in the first place.
Final note.
If DVD9 is not something you are doing already - get someone else to do it for you. There are many pitfalls for the unwary.

Burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro X via Compressor - No audio?

I have attempted to burn a DVD from a Final Cut Pro X project using Compressor, however the result was silent.
I used compressor because my FCPx project is in NTSC and my DVD is for air on Australian TV (PAL).
Image seemed to burn OK however there is no audio. Can anyone advise what I may have overlooked?
This is the first time I have used Compressor, and I am fairly new to FCP X.
thanks,
Geoff

Thanks Russ. OK, I am now rendering again via Compressor 4, this time I have 2 files in one tab - 1) a MPEG-2 and 2) an AC3 file. Seems to make sense.
To burn the DVD immediately after, I added a 'Job Action' to 'Create DVD' after the render, and the dialog confuses me. No problems with the 'Job Action' tab, but the "A/V Attributes" tab indicates the follwing:
Type: Final Cut Pro.app (shouldn't this be a reference to the rendered file/s?)
Video - showing the same dimensions of my FCPx Project file (NTSC ..640 x 480) instead of the MPEG-2 (Pal ...720 x 576).
Audio - Properties show Linear PCM... 6 channels, etc... not the AC3 file.
My question is, how do I create a DVD from the newly rendered files output from Compressor - is the Job Action the way to do it, and if so, how do I get it to reference the new files?
Thanks,
Geoff
