Seq Header Duplication error when trying to burn dvd

I am using DVD Studio Pro 4
Mac OS 10.49
I imported a 36 minute QT video edited in FCP to DVDSP. When I try to burn a DVD, I get an error message that reads, " Seq Header Duplincation. I cannot figure out the problem.
Incidently, the 30 minute DVD seems to contain 7.4 GB on my hard drive, but DVDSP converts it to 3GB automatically. Does this sound customary?
Thanks,
Schoff

ocfilmmaker, I hear you. I am trying to run DVD Studio Pro on my new Mac Pro under Leopard and I am having nothing but problems. It always worked fine on my G5 iMac. First, it won't recognize my DVD burner (there have been several posts about that) and now I'm seeing the "Seq Header Duplication" error, with no further explanation. My video is already encoded. I don't know whether it is the Xeon, Leopard, or the latest build - but this thing is useless right now.

the simulator works perfectly, but when I am going to burn the disk I get this error when it tries to mux one of my tracks.
thanks

Hi Thomas,
Not really a helpful message and with DVDSP not neccessarily a helpful one.
A few things to try before reencoding your VTS 7 material.
Close DVDSP. Delete the PAR folders associated with the project and reopen. This forces DVDSP to reparse your mpegs.
Secondly remove the video from VTS 7, Then simply replace it. When DVDSP links files to tracks on certain occassions it drops the ball when reseting the GOPS causing errors.
Thirdly for a test (or you can do it first). Place some different material in the track.
If all this fails. Duplicate the project and try and open it from the duplicate.

Dvd studio pro Build error - "Seq Header Duplication"

I made my first dvd and tried to burn it. But in the log, under "build", I got a red error message: "Seq Header Duplication"
I searched the manual and discussion, but no help.
Can anyone please tell me what to do next?

Seq Duplication Threds
Probably corrupted file and may need to re-encode. Make sure to delete MPEG/PAR files then re-encode. Also perhaps delete prefs/repair permissions
You may want to try a different name for the file.

"Seq Header Duplication" does anyone knows what this means?

Hi,
I have a SD project with several MPEG1 assets, Everything works well except when I try to burn the message "Seq Header Duplication" comes up in the log and the burn stops.
Any Ideas?
Thank you
Alex

DVDSP 4 ERROR: "Seq Header Duplication"

please I need help!!!!!
I can´t buil my project
Error:
Seq Header Duplication

This sounds to me like you have got a corrupted MPEG file - the sequence header is a part of the MPEG file, so try encoding it again and use a different name for it, then import that and see if you can build the disc.

I have a late 2011 15" MacBook Pro with a Windows 7 partion. On both sides of my HD, i cant burn DVDs.

I've tried Windows Media Player, and Windows Movie Maker on Windows. On Mac, I've tried a few different things including Burn. For some reason i dont have iDVD. In my "About this Mac" it says that my optical drive can burn DVDs. It always goes through the process, then skips to the end and spits out the disk saying it couldnt complete the task. I dont understand why its so difficult these days when burning DVDs used to be so simple.

I thought about doing what you said above, but unfortunately, I didn't have any spare blank DVD's. However, I was able to sucessfully install Windows & on my Mac. What I did was when I got to the error message, I would cancel the installation and that would return me back to the install now window. At that point, I would take out the flash drive and put it into another USB port. It took a few times, but eventually it recognized the drivers and allowed me to install the software. Remember, once you get past that point, the installation will ask you to choose a drive to install Windows on. Highlight the Boot Camp drive and chose "advanced", and then chose "format" after that. After all of this, it should be smooth sailing.

CANT BURN DVD's

hi
i've had this problem with my drive. I never burned dvd's before. I own a macbookpro 15' since over a year and always burned cd's but never dvd's...
until a couple of days ago, i was ripping a dvd from a party of a friend of mine and wanted to copy it with toast... toast wasn't able to copy the it giving me error messages that the source file was damaged and cannot be read.
i managed to copy it manually using "cut n paste".
i tried burning the "file" which i copied from the dvd with roxio toast, burn, and using disk utility and it also didn't work....
i tried using a different empty dvd from a different company... and it suddenly worked.
the funny thing was that the other dvd's that my mac wasn't accepting for some reason, they were accepted by my other macbook pro and i was also able to burn them using another macbook.
why?
these are the messages i got:
the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media
could not record the disk because there's a problem with the source material - result 18771
can anyone help me please? my cd drive doesn;t to be damaged since i also burned with it different dvds and cds. but why was i getting these messages and why in particular with this dvd?
thankx.

Hi there, I had this issue before. The solution was not stable so I had to redo the configuration every time I wanted to burn a disc.
You should go to System Preferences Language & Text settings, move English to the top of the list and set the order to English or Standard, don't remember right now, then the system had to be restarted and the burn was done, sometimes it was not and I had to do the configuration again and restart so that I could burn. And also as I created a new burn folder I had to do that again to burn, otherwise I had this not calibrated message.
Search older messages here and you'll find the hole right steps to take.
Good luck.

Why cant burn dvd message says there where errors durring project validation

when I try to save as disc image I get a message that says errors durring project validation and wont let me burn my project used to work fine.can anyone help

Hi
My thoughts.
• Free Space on Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
• Brand of DVD used ?
• Type of DVD used ?
• Video-Codec, photo file format and Audio file formats used ?
There is so much that can go wrong - so we need a lose end to start to unwind the problem.

Cant burn dvds!??

I have googled and googled but can't find anything online that says anything about why all of a sudden I can't burn any dvds?
Got my imac in Julyish of 08' and I have the "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875:"
I don't know anything in terms of if I need to clean it or if the drive is just broken or ? I went through after reading something online and verified the disc and then repaired the disc permissions.. I was able to burn one dvd and then ever since.. nothing. Is it just broken? If so, how much am I looking at to get it fixed or replaced?
I checked to make sure everything is updated.. tried restarting.. I have no clue what else to try.
The error I get when I put in the dvd is : Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
I have memorex dvds- and have tried burning from the finder and from a burn folder. neither work
Any help or ideas would be so appreciated

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Are you able to read from the DVD? If you insert your first OS X disk that came with your system (or a retail OS X disk), and reboot holding the C key down, does that work (that would cause it to boot from the DVD)?
Or, can you reboot holding the D key down? This may bring up the Apple hardware test if it's on your system, otherwise, you need to insert the first OS X disk that came with your system and reboot holding the D key (or hold the alt/option key and choose the AHT). If that works, choose the extended test.

Help, i cant burn dvds. I can watch a dvd or burn a cd but not a dvd

I have an intel 17 inch imac and a matshita dvd-r uj-85j. when I go to burn a dvd I get a “Untitled DVD” can’t be burned because the disc is read-only and can’t be modified (error code 0x80020042). But that is BS. Can you please help me?

Sorry if this is obvious, but reasons why the DVD might not burn include:
1. The DVD burning speed is at the maximum speed of the drive.
2. The DVD is of low quality. Never burn discs from anything other than Ritek, Taiyo, or Verbatim. Don't apply sticky labels to the DVD, and don't use markers. Buy DVDs that are stored in jewelcases, not spindles. Follow the standards set here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446
These issues are all platform independent.
3. The DVD was already burnt before (multi-session DVDs as far as I know are only possible for data DVDs, not movie DVDs, though double sided DVDs allow a burn on each side).
4. The capacity of the burn file is at the maximum of the capacity of the disk (try a smaller capacity).
5. The burning software is old. Make sure the version you are using is tested with your operating system version.

After I did 8.0 update, I cant burn disks anymore. Unknown Error 4265

I tried many of the solutions that people have posted such as changing the preferred speed, Unchecking include cd text, making sure all of my track were mp3 format, doing a cd driver diagnostic and nothing seems to work.

I cant burn a disk because of error 4450 please help!!

Im trying to burn a halifax cd i baught on itunes and the disk burn gets cancelled not in any paticular song (ive tried a few times) and it says unable to burn because of error 4450 what do i do?

Hi, imanewbie. Somehow you've wandered into a forum devoted to iPhoto. You would probably do better to post your question in this iTunes forum, where other people who are saddled with Windows will try to help you. Good luck!

Cant' Burn DVDs in Disc Utility or iDVD

I'm trying to burn a 111 min family movie. I've tried burning it in iDVD, but it failed at the "Writing Lead in" part. I've already burnt it once, in Disc Utility, but when I used Disc Utility to burn the new DVD as a disk image, it said 'Cannot get the necessary laser power level in order to burn"
The DVD I use is TDK DVD+R DL but I dont think the disc is the problem, since I have burnt many files on these disc already (which includes the first disc of the movie I'm burning).
What is the problem? Does my burner need replacing?

You need to look at the variables since you last were able to successfully burn this project.
First, make sure that you have enough free disk space to burn: 5GB is rock bottom but 20GB is recommended.
Secondly, shut down any other power consuming programs while you are burning, including your screen saver and power saver programs, and even email. Restarting your computer helps to clean things out.
Make sure that your burner is clean.
At 111 minutes, you are close to the 120 minute max for a single sided disk. Still, I would try burning this project onto a single sided standard DVD-R (instead of +R), using a different brand of disk. Maxell, Verbatim, Sony have been recommended. I personally like HP DVD-R disks. I have heard negative comments about TDK.
If you can burn a small test project, then probably your burner is O.K, and clean enough to burn, although I have heard that they can sporadically malfunction.
If nothing works, you might want to take your computer in to an Apple store or other repair place and have them check your burner.
