Compressor file to DVD SP is not widescreen?

A DV animarphic 16:9 film I export out in Compressor is 4:3, am I missing a setting here to keep the widescreen ratio? Thanks.

Sorry, that message didn´t make any sense.
I have a 16:9 project, when I export it in Compressor it becomes 4:3 and in DVD SP it is 4:3 as well, the previous files I rendered straight out of FInal Cut was 16:9 in DVD SP, am I missing a setting here?
Cheers.

  • How do you drag compressor File to DVD SP?

    I am new to compressor, I exported to Compressor from FCP used the High quality 90 minute mpeg 2 setting. I dragged the pass.m2v video file in, but I cant find the audio file. I have exported 4 times from FCP to Compressor, and pressed the submit button thinking i was missing a step, and I don't find any audio file. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks,
    Doug

    The Compressor job needs the .m2v setting AND the Dolby audio setting.
    So you drag the Setting folder, not just the video setting.
    Normally both compressed files will appear in the same place.

  • Went through setup for DVD PRO still not working

    So I have done what are the protocalls that are appropriate for DVD PRO and the problem now is that I cannot drag my compressor file into DVD PRO.
    It just bounces back to Finder or where ever else I find it. I give up don't know what to do now I am stuck. Thanks for everyones help. Also I still get the
    incompatible format pop up-I am totally against a wall-do not know what to do at all.

    I captured from mini-dv tape so I used dv 48khz or dv ntsc for my setup codec. I used send to in FCP to compressor. I used best quality DVD 90 minutes in Compressor. I am working with NTSC. I imported my compressed project clicking on asset. When I did this I get a box that pops up and says incompatible format.
    Problem is I have no idea how to get a compatible format or what they are talking about since I followed the
    correct protocol or at least it seemed correct to me. I know it is something I am missing-I just do not have the
    knowledge to trouble shoot this particular problem. So that is where it stands of this moment.

    correction the bit rate is 7.5

  • DVD Studio Pro not playing back audio of asset converted from FCP via compressor.

    I exported project via compressor:
    File Extension: m2v
    Estimated file size: 4.34 GB
    Video Encoder
        Format: M2V
        Width: 720

        Aspect ratio: 4:3
        Field dominance: Bottom first

        Best motion estimation
        Closed GOP Size: 15, Structure: IBBP
        DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
    This took about 7.5 hours.  I exported the audio separately as AC3. Finder plays it sound & pictures.  Quicktime plays the video.  DVD Studio Pro, when I drag the assets (video, audio) to the timeline editor, so I can play it in the viewer, it plays the audio the video is black.  No setting in view or any other setting will get it to play the video.  This project is due to ship today and I don't want to re import it if I don't have to.
    I exported this project before the MPEG2 export as a Qicktime with .mov suffix.  This plays alright, but there is artifacting around motion.  I think this is due to low VBR, but don't know.  Can ayone help?

    If I may chime in...
    I'm a little confused on the "what plays what" part, but  all that really matters is what DVDSP sees/plays.
    I've worked on a system like yours and what I'd recommend is:
    1. NEVER export via Compressor. It's just ungodly slow on anything less than a Quad. Export a self contained QuickTime Movie using the first export option and use that to feed Compressor.
    2. Segment your output into manageable clips (I like 15-20 minutes) both to perfect the encoding and so you aren't re-encoding the whole show if something goes sour. It will all play fine as long as it's all in the same DVDSP timeline.
    From what you describe, I'm thinking you're on an early version of Compressor that had A-Pack as the AC-3 encoder. This is no biggie, I mention it mostly to verify. Early Compressor was good too.
    Make maybe a 5 minute piece to tune up. Just export as normal, then into Compressor. Your encoding values seem about right. Get the AV pair into DVDSP and it should play. I'm guessing that part of your problem is that the processor is fighting to handle the project size. Build the test clip project and look at it in DVD Player to view what would have been burned. If all looks OK, go for it. If not, bring back the results for discussion. This should be a snap, it's just a really big project.  Keep your head up, I had a friend do a 225-minute disk on his G5... 

  • G5( DVD SP4) WILL NOT READ AC-3 Files

    I have spent more time and read more papers on Compressor and DVD P4 than on any other Apple software.
    I have encoded from FCP4.5 a 27 min project using compressor, all the settings seem fine and the visuals are good.
    I import the assets into DVD 4 and they import all ok and I get green lights on the asset log etc.
    In the timeline the visuals are ok but I cannot get the ac-3 Dolby to read at all.
    I have imported the pcm sound directly into DVD and it works fine as do Aiff files.
    I have updated all my software to check I have all the codecs etc and all is up to date.
    I have re-encoded the sound again and checked all the settings and the same thing happened. DVD S is not reading the dolby sound.
    The data seems to be there ok but the silence is deafening!!

    How are you monitoring your audio? Analogue or SP/DIF (optical output).
    Have you set your audio output preferences in the SImulator tab of your DVDSP preferences?
    Check your audio output settings in your "Audio MIDI Setup" utility as well.

  • DVD Studio will not encode my quick time files!!

    Okay, so I know that I can run my files through compressor and make MPEG2's to burn in DVD Studio Pro. But it is just an extra step for what I do because usually we need a quick time file also to post to our website. When I drop any .mov file into DVD Studio it gives me an error while encoding... What can I do? are my codecs wrong? HELP!!!

    Okay, the dimensions on one of my files is 720x480.
    the codec i am using is DV/DVCpro - NTSC, Integer
    (big endian), timecode.
    The frame rate is most likely 29.97 or whatever
    digital video is. It is not 24fps.
    Well, your frame size is OK. Check the frame rate to make absolutely sure it's 29.97 (since you said it's not 24 fps) and not something slightly different.
    Having your disc project set to PAL instead of NTSC shouldn't cause the error, even if you bring in NTSC assets. At least, it didn't cause errors on DVDSP 4 when I tried it just now.

  • No audio when using Compressor to convert DVD .VOB files to Quicktime...

    Hello,
    From a previous post that I found, my understanding is that you can use Compressor to convert DVD .VOB files to quicktime files. I've tried this several different ways but I only get video and no audio. Is it possible to also get audio?
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    As far as I know, no way to make ANY conversion from a VOB file using Compressor.
    You can download MPEG Streamclip for free and extract the elementary streams from the VOB files . . . of course, you can do it from your own DVDs, not from commercial ones.

  • DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

    When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

    Go this this thread for more details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
    But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

  • 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?

  • DVD Player will not play image files (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

    I am having a problem with my DVD Player. It will no longer play dvd iso files. Instead I get this error: "There was a problem opening the media: The media type is not supported"
    What is really strange about this is that the audio from the DVD would play just fine, but there would not be an accompanying video window.
    I find it hard to believe that when upgrading from leopard to snow leopard that the iso file format would become unsupported.
    I have also tried to create my own DVD .img file and it too would not play in DVD Player giving me the same error message. Is there anything I can do to get my image files to play on this computer?
    Message was edited by: Imperial Hawk

    Change the file extension from img. to iso
    Many obscure file formats are not accepted by DVD Players and require you to either change the format or get a converter. here read these they will help you a ton.

    I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

    My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately.  After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1).  I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project.  Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
    Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature.  Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
    AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

  • FCPX not reading AVCHD files from DVD

    Hello to all,
    I had made AVCHD disks of my Sony handy cam's footage using PMB [picture motion browser]. But when I tried to import these files from the DVD, FCPX would not accept these MTS files. Is not FCPX meant to deal with AVCHD?

    Thanks for the info. The site you referred to has this:
    'a user can burn 1080p60 video to Blu-ray or DVD after converting to 1080i'
    I remember  PMB allowed users the choice of making AVCHD disks or [?] MPEG2 disks. I have just now inserted the disk I had burnt and got this info:
    Next I opened the disk and got this info from one of the MTS files:
    The description of the file states it to be: AVCHD MTS
    So why is it that FCPX is not able to ingest this AVCHD MTS file?

    Is this bad?
    No. Ignore it.
    What does this mean?
    That you have the current OS version installed.
    As far as I know, I have not installed any Remote Access software on my Mac.
    It's part of the OS.
