Create DVD with DVD Studio Pro with Flash Content

I'd like to create a DVD that will run like usual on a DVD player and TV, but that could contain flash files that would run on a computer. Is there a way to do this?

Another app is Sonic eDVD if you want to be able to launch files from the interface. Both have a lot of cons though... You can just add ROM data for the user to browse if you want to too.
You can autorun the flash content if you want, so the user see's it on the PC and not the DVD-Video when the disc is put it,

I am making multiple DVD's of roughly 50 hours of footage on DVD Studio pro with 4 separate menus for 4 different 'parts' or series if you will. 50 hours - 20 episodes - 4 parts of 5 episodes each. What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's, what is the process, what size DVD RW should I buy, what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn. Any advice or insight is welcome.

>>What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's<<
20 episodes totaling 50 hours equals about 2.5 hours per episode assuming all episodes have the same duration. Fitting 2.5 hours onto one single layer DVD would require a low bit rate which means quality wouldn't be anywhere near best, but that's a judgement call you'll have to make based on several factors. For example; if there is not much motion in the video (talking heads, etc), you can get by with a lower bit rate and may not notice any quality difference.
>>what is the process>>
The process is essentially the same as it is when authoring a regular DVD with 2 hours or less of content. However, with as many discs as you'd need to complete this "set," you'll need to create a separate DVD Studio Project for each disc. Basically, you'd use one of Compressor's DVD Presets (or customize a preset) to create an MPEG--2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.AC3). Import both of those assets into your DVD Studio Pro project for authoring and burning.
If you want to keep one episode per disc, DVD Studio Pro does have a 150 minute preset or you could use dual-layer discs with a higher bit rate for better quality. Again; your call.
>>what size DVD RW should I buy<<
Size? 12cm. Capacity? Single layer, single sided DVD discs (DVD-5) have a rated capacity of 4.7Gb (4.37Gb actual), including menus. If you use single layer discs and want to keep the quality reasonably good, you'd need at least 50 discs to complete this "set" with each disc holding roughly 2 hours of footage if you keep the menu on each disc simple. Or, you could use dual-layer discs (DVD-9) which have a capacity of about 7.95Gb - almost doubling the recordable capacity. There are also dual-sided, dual-layer discs available (DVD-18) but they are relatively expensive and have to be manually turned over to continue playback ... but they do have roughly 15.9Gb capacity.
>>what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn<<
Exactly; the quality is dependent on the bit rate chosen, as well as the quality of the compression. Using compression markers where needed can greatly increase the quality of playback but will most likely increase the file size of the compressed video. For the best quality, keeping the bit rate as high as possible allowed under the DVD specification will yield the best quality but some DVD players may choke if the bit rate is too high. For best quality I typically aim for a bit rate around 7.6 to 8.0Mbps but that will only allow about one hour of footage.
Naturally, if you decrease the bit rate, you can fit more footage onto the disc but quality will be sacraficed.   Here's a chart approximating DVD bit rates and durations for single layer discs (does not include space for menus):
3.5Mbps - 120 minutes
5.0Mbps -   95 minutes
6.0Mbps -   82 minutes
7.6Mbps -   65 minutes
8.0Mbps -   60 minutes

Is it available to replace DVD driver in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb?

I'v external DVD driver and I'd like to replace DVD driver with in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb. Is it available? All your opinions are welcome.

Here is a post from another thread on this problem.
So here's the deal, don't expect SATA III devices to work on the optical port. I just went thru this on both my 2009 and 2012 13" MBP's. The 2009 is SATA II (3Gps) and the 2012 is SATA III (6Gps). A SATA III SSD (OWC 6G) will only connect at 1.5 Gps on the 2009. On the 2012, it actually connects at 6 Gps, but every drive I tried crashed (dropped drives, file errors, kernel panics), including a Samsung 830 and Seagate Momentus XT 750. Out of desperation, I stuck the (slow 500 Gb) Apple HD in, it connects at 3 Gps and works like a champ. Check your System Info on SATA info. If you have a 2009, don't waste your $$$ on high end SSDs or drives. If you have newer, BEWARE, you're likely to have issues with high end SATA III devices. On the bright side both Samsung and OCZ V4 work great on the main drive (450 MB/s read) and boots in 10 seconds!! The optical drive SATA port is a major issue for everyone ( like me ) who buys MBPs because they can trip them out, this is a real nagging issue/obstacle. This is a firmware issue that needs to be addressed by Apple. I'm hoping for a firmware update and that Apple isn't doing this intentionally.

Having a problem with audio in DVD Studio Pro with the finished copy

I am making a DVD of a clip I had transferred from a mini DV. All the audio was present when I transferred it. I had then turned it into an MPEG movie format (.mpg). When I play that clip there is audio. Then I compressed the file on Compressor. I selected the file format by choosing Apple > DVD > DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes > MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass (the clip was about an hour and 20min long) and compressed the clip. I then opened DVD studio pro, made a menu, and then added this new file (MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass). I burned the DVD and put it into my DVD player. The picture was great and everything worked fine except there was no audio. How do I get audio into this DVD? I have tried compressing my .mpg file into the Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 option that is under DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes, but when I try importing that into DVD studio pro it a message pops up saying "Incompatible format." It might also help mentioning that when I saw the file size on the Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 after compressing it, it said Zero kb. How would I get audio onto this DVD? I would really appreciate your help, I tried to be as detailed as I could. This DVD is for a family member and is urgent, so anyone who can help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you so much.

If you don't want to go back and recapture the tape you need to understand that MPG files need to be "DeMuxed" to extract the audio. My recommendation would be to use the free MPEG Streamclip and then select your MPG to be Demuxed into an AIFF file. That AIFF file will then need to be converted to an AC3 file, similar to what you did with the video.

HIDE DVD Studio Pro with Leopard (COMMAND H)

Greetings all. Searched and can't find this in the forum.
Has anyone noticed that trying to "HIDE DVD STUDIO PRO" using Leopard 10.5.4 and DVD SP 4.2.1 seems to be impossible!
I never saw this behavior using Tiger and we've been on Leopard for a long time now but I thought I'd post this.
I know I can Command-TAB to switch apps but not being able to send it to the dock is a real nuisance!
Anyone else seen this? Perhaps the boys and girls at Apple can add this to their bug fix requests?
Regards,

I've had the same thing happening with both After Effects and DVDSP for a while now. It seems to happen after using the app. for a while. A restart of the app. will often solve the problem - not that I bother to do that. Both apps. seem to diff. from the standard Apple app. "skin" (if one can call it that) and maybe there are issues in this regard. Been using 10.5.2 since it came out and recently upgraded to 10.5.4 (installed Pro Tools, and it was required). Same thing.
I mostly use Option-clicking to hide apps, and it seem to work more often than Command-H (AE is Option-Command-H).

DVD Studio Pro with Blu-Ray

I cant believe that this subject has not been tackled yet but I could not find the correct thread to read comments from the forum.
My question is: Is there a chance in the near future that Apple will finally decide to let DVDSP users to burn their outputs into a Blu-Ray ?
Whay this is not yet possible ?
I bought The latest version of Fincal Cut Studio 2 with the hope that DVD SP latest update would give that possibility, but I heard that it is not the case.

Success means different things to different people.
Some say Blu-ray is a success, some say it was a success.
The companies that design and manufacture Blu-ray; Samsung, Sony and Apple are saying that Blu-ray is an expensive, short term system for recordable video authoring and will be replaced by newer technology in two to five years.
Consumers and the media appear to say, were not buying something expensive to replace something that works just fine.

DVB-C recorded DVDs to Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro and Flash - how?

As a TV journalist I am recording my works with my DVB-C Receiver and a DVD-Harddisc-Recorder from LG. The movies are stored on the harddisc and I burn them to DVDs in order to work with the files on my computer. What progrograms do I have to use in order to get file out of the DVD-vobs, that Final Cut Pro can read an work with. DVB-C is MPEG-encoded, right? But I don’t want to loose quality and don’t want to encode the material several times? In Final Cut I want to get rid of commerials and cut severel movies together that were broadcasted on several days. After that I want to get two differt files: 1. A flash movie form my website and 2. A file form my archive. With those files I want to complile DVDs with DVD Studio Pro for my customers later. Can anyone please give me a good and professional workflow to solve this common problem? Thanks a lot.

I recently bought a Macbook pro with retina display and was suprised to see that there is no slot to put a dvd or cd into. For the amount paid i feel this is ridiculous. However wish to seek a solution, does anyone know of how to solve this problem? Thankyou

Purchase an external DVD drive and attach it to your rMBP. Or you can purchase the Apple model specifically made for it:

DVD STUDIO PRO Video & Data content headache...

Hi Guys,
Been using Studio Pro for a few years but recently had a client request a DVD to include video content, a photo slideshow and a downloadable brochure.
I have looked at DVD@ccess etc. but I am still in the dark as to whether I can add a downloadable brochure to a DVD in Studio Pro. Is this possible?
If not is it possible to produce a CD-ROM with a menu page etc...
Thanks for listening...

Yes this is possible. First you want to create a folder on your computer that has nothing but the brochure file in it.
So: "Brochure Folder" > "Brochure.pdf"
When you go to burn your disc use "Build/Format"
Under the "General" tab click the check box under "DVD-ROM Data" and point to the "Brochure Folder"
Then you are ready to build and burn.

Create pdf in windows 7 pro with acrobat 9.0

I am getting a new computer with windows 7 pro. I have a acrobat 9.0 package which is currently not activated on any computer. I want to be able to create PDF files by printing from various softwares to a pdf printer. (i have been doing this for years in older acrobat versions). Can I use my acrobat 9.0 package or do I need to upgrade. I am not using the more advanced features of acrobat. Only the print to PDF option.
