Created disc running on macs but not on any dvd player

Hey I am trying to make a short film that includes stills and video, I shot my footage in 108024p used after effects exported back out to FCP and then made a quicktime movie with the same settings (HDV 108024p) I used compressor to convert the footage to DVD SP-H.264 10.3Mbs.mov then made a project in DVD SP using HD DVD and NTSC settings, then tested my dvd with the simulator, worked, burned my copy and worked on my mac as well as my brothers mac though it does not work on any dvd player in the house (blueray players) does anyone have any suggestions, I included all the relevant information that I could think of. Thank you

That's because you made an HD DVD, just as you said. You would need an HD DVD player.
DVD players can only play DVDs, Blu-ray players can play DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Only an HD DVD player (a dead format) will play an HD DVD.
You have to start your project over in SD mode.

    My project plays on any Mac but not on my dvd player.  Please advise.

    Unfortunately that didn't do the trick.  For the life of me I can't figure this one out.  However, if I author it using iDVD (with the same media) it works?  I'd make do with IDVD if I could get rid of the Apple logo in the lower right corner. 

  • It works on my Computer, but not in my DVD Player

    I burned a DVD, It works on my Computer, but not in my DVD Player...why?

    still am trying to figure out how to burn at a slower speed, I see no optiond on iDVD.
    You need to create a disk image out of iDVD, then burn. See below.
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • No audio on idvd burned disc- sound plays on TV fine but not on macbook DVD player

    First time posting, so please excuse any naivete
    Hi there, I'm having the opposite problem of many of the questions I've read on here- the audio on my burned disc won't play on my computer but is fine on my TV.  I am running the latest version of idvd on a 2008 macbook. The music for the menu is a .m4a file (?) imported from itunes and the movie is an imported project from imovie.  Both play fine in idvd preview and I have burned discs of this project before with no problems.  This time  I burned one disc through idvd, discovered the missing audio, deleted the encoded assets and re- encoded before  saving the disk image and burning another dvd through disk utility. Both dvds are having this problem .  I checked sound on my system preferences, it's on- though I can't find the "main audio" that was mentioned in another thread.  Maybe I don't have enough space on my startup disk?  I've been trashing some things to free up space, but I'm not sure where to check to see how much space I have.
    I'm sending these dvds out as part of job applications so they need to be able to play right on whatever the reviewer uses (mac, pc, tv etc.)- is there a way to ensure it will work universally?
    Thanks!

    Ok.  This is embarrassing.  Just saw that the sound was turned down on my DVD player on my macbook though not on my computer.  Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best. 

  • Disc burned with iDVD will not play in DVD player only on MAC

    I used iMovie to create a movie and then shared it with iDVD. I successfully burned the DVD through iDVD but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays fine on the iMac. It is in UDF format. After reading through posts, I saved the file as a disk image and then burned through Disk Utility. This plays fine but I would really rather burn the disc directly from iDVD. Any ideas why the DVD player says "This type of disc cannot be played"?

    Media quality affects the burn errors on a disc. Computer players tend to have better error correction (to preserve digital data) - set-top DVD players tend to have poorer error correction since the are designed to play commercial, stamped DVDs with low error rates.

  • DVD Studio Pro Authored DVD plays on iMac, but not PC or DVD Player

    Have put several film up on web using FCP. Trying to make DVD of movies using DVD Studio Pro. The DVD plays on my iMac, but not my PC or my DVD player. Any suggestions?

    Pop your disc into your Mac. On the disc there should be two folders, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. If the VIDEO_TS folder is not there, replaced by something else, then you have indeed created a HD DVD. You need to completely start over.

  • Dvd will play on comp. but not on tv/dvd player? help

    Hey,
    i just started to learn how to use my mac/iDVD and I burned two DVd's without any issues and they played fine on my regular tv/dvd player. I had a basic image/audio for the background.
    I made another DVD with a video for the menu background and more data on it-but it still was under 4.7 Gb of storage..etc. But I went to play it on my tv/dvd player and it says "incorrect disc" and will not read it,yet it will play fine on my Mac.
    Any reason why this won't work vs. my other two that burned fine??
    Thanks.

    Did you burn it as an Audio CD or a Data CD? You may have a home CD player that can play data discs while the car player cannot...

  • Burned DVD's play on Phillips DVD Player, but not on computer DVD player

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm burning my reel in DVD STUDIO PRO 4 via MPEG-2 files exported from FCP to Compressor and then brought into DVD Studio Pro 4.
    I select BUILD/FORMAT and go through the steps (insert blank DVD, etc.) and when the DVD is spit out of my macbook pro, it works perfectly fine on a DVD Player, but when I insert it back into my macbok, it spins for about 45 seconds and then spits itself right back out.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    NOTE: I have successfully burned other DVD's using TOAST so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
    thanks again.

    Also what is happening? Not playing at all? Bad Playback?

  • Create table runs in Toad but not in Linux

    Hello,
    I've just started writing in SQL 3 days ago so I would like to apologize in advance for the shabby code and the stupid question. I'm hoping that somebody can help me with my problem.
    Anyway, this has been bugging me for 2 days now and I can't seem to find the problem. The code below is just a simple create table that I coded in Toad for Oracle by Quest Software and runs fine in it but when I try to copy it over to our linux server and run it using '@/home/user/atm_dc.sql', the table is not created.
    Can someone help me?

  • Exported Movie looks good in Quicktime, but not in any other Player?

    I Have noticed that the text that I have exported from After Effects were looking jagged in windows media and Kmplayer. At first I thought it was my render settings that were making it look low quality, but then I found that when played in Quicktime the movie look high rez. only problem is that quick time is extremely laggy when I open up my movies. Why is this happening?

    Huh? That's simply hardware scaling. Your movie is not being viewed at 100% size.

  • DVD Studio Pro dvd not working in dvd player

    Hi There,
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    I've burnt a dvd using DVD SP - it reads 'formatting succesful' and ejects the disk.
    It works on my mac but not on my dvd player - it reads 'disk error'.
    Here's the thing: I've burnt it with ToastTitanium and it works on my dvd player.
    So it's not the dvds I'm using that's the problem.
    I've checked other forums and I've unchecked the box 'lossless linking' - still not working.
    I'm desperate.
    Please help.
    Sean

    Hey Mate,
    Merry Christmas!
    Just to be clear, here is a screenshot with a new project with no media, no template, no first play set etc...
    And as you can see DVD Standard is greyed out.
    Bizarre...

  • Internet running slow on mac but not PC

    The internet on my MacBook is running painfully slow both through a wired connection and through my wireless network. The problem happens when utilizing Firefox, Safari, updates and iTunes. It makes it impossible to view Youtube videos and download large software upgrades.
    I have tried speedtest.net and the download rate is reasonable, however it does not match the download rate my computer experiences. The download as shown in the dialogue box (when I try to download software updates, photos, etc.) is in the range of 3 - 6 KB/sec but speedtest shows a download speed of 10Mbps.
    Any ideas on how I should proceed?
    Thank you.

    bumping because I've been having the same issue ever since I came home from college. basically the situation is that websites load extremely slowly on my mac pro, but not on any other computer (all windows pcs) connected to the same network. I even disconnected my mac pro and plugged in my windows laptop and the connectivity was fine - which makes me think it has something to do with the settings on the mac.
    I disabled IPV6 and reboot my mac, router, and modem but to no avail. what's wrong?! has anyone found a definitive solution for this problem? it's very aggravating.

  • Why can you run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows

    I dont understant why you can run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows.  Any help.  I would purchase OS X Mountain Lion if you gave me a way.

    Microsoft builds software to run on other companies' hardware, pretty much exclusively if you don't count the long line of failed devices: Zune, Windows phone, and now the Surface.
    Apple builds hardware. They support that hardware with their own operating system. It is designed to run only on their very tightly integrated hardware. Trying to write software for the plethora of crap being sold would be a failing proposition and would divert resources away from the great software they provide for their hardware customers.
    The hardware and software are very well engineered to provide the best possible experience.
    If you want to experience a Mac, buy a Mac.

    A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Custom Dashcode widget works fine on mac, but not in iBooks

    I wrote a dashcode widget that works fine on my mac but not in iBooks, what am I doing wrong?
    I am trying to create a widget that performs a specific calculation when the user inputs the 2 variables. However when I go to preview it on my iPad, the button that performs the calculation disapears. It is visible in the thumbnail, but once you launch to full size... bye bye...
    Help is appreciated. Are buttons not allowed?

    it sets the size of the widget when displayed as a widget full screen or whatever size the png is
    That is not correct. What sets the size of the widget when it runs is the canvas size of the widget, not Default.png.
    At the link below, you can find a widget with a Default.png of 140x200 pixels. When you run the widget, it displays at 900x607 pixels.

    This demonstrates that Default.png has nothing to do with the size of the widget when it runs. Default.png need not even have the same aspect ratio as the widget canvas.

  • Does Time Machine automatically reformat a non-Mac OS Extended hard drive?
