Can't import file into DVD studio

Hi we just wrapped up a video which needed closed captioning. The company doing the closed captioning sent us a .SCC extension file which is what I'm supposed to use to embed the captioning into the video it is going along with. Unfortunately when i unzip the file it opens up with Graphics Convertor. I tried to drop it into DVD studio Pro and it won't register. Does any one have any information on working with .SCC extension files and DVD studio
Thanks
Victor

I have had little success importing the .scc files as line 21 captioning. Once the zip is expanded, you can try importing the .ssc file by selecting the track and clicking the "import line 21" button in the inspector. If that does not work, you may be able to convert the data to the appropriate data format for importing as a subtitle stream instead.
hope this helps -

How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

Hi,
I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

Two ways…
Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
Or better yet:
Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
Good luck.

Importing subtitles into DVD Studio Pro 4 that were created FCP Studio 6

Greetings!
So in all the DVD Studio Pro 4 documentation, I couldn't find any work flow that allowed you to create subtitles, via *Text or Boris 3D Titles* in Final Cut Pro Studio 6 and then export or import your work into DVD Studio Pro to be used in the subtitle fields... Is that possible?
After painstakingly entering in subtitles for a feature film line-by-line, timing them perfectly to picture and making them look beautiful with crisp-text & a slight drop-shadow... It would be wonderful to import those files (as graphics files? DVD Studio Pro can import those...) in our DVD for release, with optional subtitles-- Instead of making/encoding 2 versions; with & without subtitles.
What is the best way to export these files, created for the film subtitling in *Text or Boris 3D Titles* so that we can import them into DVD Studio Pro 4 subtitle tracks... Could they be exported with an Alpha Channel so that the background is transparent? And will this then be excepted into DVD Studio Pro 4 to be placed in the subtitle fields?
Please help us conquer this seemingly-necessary procedure... I would really hate to think that to achieve this task we'd have to re-enter, re-design & re-time ALL subtitles to make our DVD... All of your suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

OK-- I love that I've found a way to answer my own question on this forum (but actually I must credit my buddy James for finding out about 'TitleExchange Pro') It looks pretty cool and should do exactly what I've asked about: Exporting/ Importing subtitles made in FCP to DVD SP...
TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things simple.
If you ever wished to get your titles out of FCP into DVDSP (or another DVD authoring application), get titles into FCP from another source like DVDSP or STL, or ceate a QT with all your FCP subtitles without the need of rendering (and get automatic selection of language) or just "equalize" your FCP titles TEP will be the right tool.
There's a slight catch but it might be worth it, if this works as well as it states...Cost 135 EUR:) You can download a limited demo version that works for 30 days & 50 titles...If anyone wants to give their feedback on this software, please post it here-- We'd all be interested.
Download & more information about this process at: http://www.spherico.de/filmtools/TitleExchange/
Also, check out this video tutorial on the product... It explains exactly how to do the task-at-hand... http://www.studiodaily.com/main/minisites/finalcutpro/f/mtutorials/6851.html
Hope this finds you all well--

Is it possible to import a .pdf or .doc file into DVD studio Pro 4?

When I finally finish my 2D animation for my Senior Project and finally make the DVD, I want to include the short story that the animation is based on to the DVD. I want to import it as .pdf or a .doc into DVD Studio Pro 4. What I want to know is, is if this is possible, or if is not, is there another acceptable file format that I can use if .pdf or .doc isn't possible?

Techincally you can create a link to take it to the file... but there are so many different software DVD players that it doesnt work with 90% of them so its pointless..
as for including your files on the DVD....
First make sure your files are all in one folder called DVD Content or something like that so they know its in that location
then in DVDSP at the top where all the icons are...
hit build and format.
in the general tab you will see...
Disc
Source
DVD-ROM Data
destination
under DVD-ROM Data check the content box.
Choose the folder you have all your files in.
joliet extension support doesnt really matter but i always click it so that windows can identify better what file format it is.
then continue building and formating.
let me know if that works or if you run into an issue.

Importing .ts files into DVD Studio Pro

Hi,
I've downloaded a MPEG2 file which has a file extension of .ts
DVD Studio Pro and Compressor don't seem to like this file extension. Can anyone tell me the best way to get it into DVD SP please?
I tried importing it into MPEG Streamclip, but there doesn't seem to be a MPEG2 export option there.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon

It could be a muxed MPEG file, in which case, you'd need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert to and elementary MPEG-2 (.m2v) video file and an AC3 or AIF audio file. Import the resulting two files into DVD SP.

Importing IMovie File into DVD Studio Pro 4

I used to be able to import the index file from an IMovie project into DVD Studio Pro quite happily.
Today the application freezes on the import progress window, with no files appearing in the asset window.
I have to force quit the application to get out of it.
Can anyone advise how to resolve this issue ?
Power Mac G5 - Dual 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

If you haven't changed anything on your system, then it would appear that you have one of two things.
Most likely, your preference files have be come corrupt, or second, your Application or application resource file for DVD SP have become damaged.
Try first to toss your DVD SP preferences, if this doesn't do it, then you should uninstall DVD SP and then reinstall with all of the updates before trying again.
If you have tried creating a new project from scratch and the problem persists, then read on.
If that doesn't do it, then there's a very slight possiblility, that there may be an issue with the QucikTime files of the OS, and keep in mind, (this is a very remote possibility) you may have to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS and apps. from the original disks, but only after everything else fails, (THIS IS A DRASTIC LAST DITCH EFFORT.)

Importing files into DVD SP problems

Just now having the following problem. When trying to import files into DVDSP, some files import correctly, while others show either the audio or video component of the file in red. checking error logs shows that there are errors on encoding either -47 or -43. Also two folders both named "multimediaimporter.oxygene" are showing up in the dock and app switcher. any clues?
Thanks
Ric

You cannot bring VOBs into DVD SP. You can use other tools to do that, but your best bet probably is to demux the VOBs using [MPEG Streamlcip|http://www.squared5.com> to the m2vs and audio and just use those in DVD SP (in other words if you are not re-editing the footage this will be the easiest route) then add menus as needed

I can't import files into the new iTunes 11. Why?

Since downloading the new iTunes 11, required for the new iOS 7, I can no longer import files into my iTunes library.
When dragging and dropping the files, nothing happens.
When importing them via the iTunes menu. Nothing happens.
I've tried adding them to the iTunes folder "automatically add to iTunes library". Nothing happened.
I've had the new iTunes for one day, and it doesn't work.
Can somebody please help me?!

Sorted. Sorry.
The files did not have album name / artist name etc... etc.... Had to find them and type them manually.

Premeire Elements 13 - can't import files into Project Assets, Expert Mode. Win8.1

Hello there - I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Can't seem to figure this out. In other computers, I have imported files into the Project Assets area to "pre-edit" before adding to timeline. I can add media directly to timeline in Quick Mode, but it's too cumbersome. Really need ability to select segments of media in the Project Assets list.
Any help greatly appreciated as I spent a ton of $$ on a new computer and program!!
Thanks folks!

What is the typical outcome...
a. Expert workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders/and no import into Expert workspace Project Assets, but you do find the import switching to Quick workspace Filmstrip?
b. Quick workspace open....Add Media/Files and Folders and media goes directly to Filmstrip. And, if you switch to Expert workspace, you find copy of import in Project Assets?

and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the

If that does not work, then do the uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts), and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

Can't Import MP4 Files Into DVD Studio Pro

I'm trying to start a DVD Studio Pro 4 project, and have .mp4 video files. When I import them with the Assets>Import tab, they come in as MP4 audio files only, not movie files. The users manual says the integrated encouder auto encodes Quick Time assets into DVD compliant formats with default Compressor settings ... but that is not happening. The MP4s play fine when I double click and open them in Quick Time Player, or post them on line they work fine in a browser. I'm confused, how do I import them to work in DVD Studio Pro? BTW, I did not create them in FCP, nor do I know how to use Compressor yet. I have MPEG Stream Clip but don't know how it would help. Thanks, Tom, Miami.

Use compressor to convert them to m2v and ac3 files before bringing them into DVDSP.

I can't import files into Ipod video, and can't view it on 'My Computer"

this is funny, i can't view the ipod icons in 'my computer'. In other verisions of ipods, it is possible, but not this one. I was going to put files into my ipod, games, and other stuff. But it won't work. Can't even upload the folder from I-tunes

Plug in your iPod.
In: edit->preferences->ipod, make sure that 'Enable Disk Use' is checked.
You can't put games on your iPod, at least not games that will run on your iPod.

I can not import files into Itunes.

I can not import my music and video files from the my documents folder to Itunes. When I try the file will not show up in Itunes.

Could you give us a little more specific information as to the source & format of these files? Those 2 things might be causing the problem.

Importing vob files into dvd studio pro 4

hi
any help please ?
i have a project ,where i have a dvd already made and i now need to ad extra features to it,
with the original dvd i have only the video ts folder to go with.
i cant inport the vob files ,i changed the extensions to mpeg,mpg,mv2
all were not able to be imported,tried idvd no luck.
seeing that the vob files are mpeg2 i would expect that dont need to be converted ,but is it something to do with the audio files needing to be separated?
cheers
i find this forum wonderfully useful

The files do need to be demuxed/reconverted into a usable format.
There's a free program people tout all the time when people ask this question: MPEG Streamclip.
I use Cinematize as I feel it has more 'finessing' options: http://www.miraizon.com/products/products.html

How can I import files into Lightroom 3 from Photoshop elements 8?

I just installed Lightroom 3 and bypassed the option to import my pics from Photoshop elements 8 (to see what other options were available). Lightroom advanced a page and there seems to be no way to return to the previous page, I've closed the page & reopened a few times.
I cannot locate where PSe8 stores it's files either so that is not an option. How do I reset lightroom to import my old files? Thank you.
I also see "upgrade files" but have no idea what this means & don't see an explanation; a simple definition would be great. Thanks again!

Thanks Beat, I first had to make up a name for a new group then it opened Lightroom so I could do as you suggested - sucess!

H.264 HD MOV file in dvd studio not importing?

I have an H.264 HD video (1,440 x 1080, 16 x 9). I was able to import into FCp and export out to quicktime successfully yet when I attempt to import this file into DVD Studio it shuts down as it tries to import, throwing an error? Any ideas.

I'm having the same problem when attempting to produce an HD DVD as recommended by Rick Young.
I have no difficulty in burning an HD DVD using MPEG compression, but I'm unable to get DVDSP to accept an H264 file created using compressor (H264 for DVDSP setting). The .mov file when brought into DVDSP4 is seen only as an audio file; it plays as video in QT and also in iDVD as expected. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Geoff
