Dual Layer replication requires 2 DVD's (1 per layer) can DVDSP do this?

Hi,
I'm about to have a 4 DVD set replicated, where each of the DVD's is Dual Layer. So they said I can submit on DLT (I have one but would have to find a scsi card to get it going again) or to give them 1 DVD per DVD layer. So that means each final replicated DVD would require two DVD-R's to make. Can DVDSP allow for a dual layer one sided project then burn to two disks?
Thank you in advance!
Bill

Lion is the highest version your can install. You need to have 2 GBs of RAM and be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
Toast 11 to create menus etc. Thanks for your help.

I am PC stupid and my cousin gave me an Apple power book G4 I am trying to take my pics from a dvd to my PC how can i do this

I am really not very good with PC's and all of my pics are on a DVD I want to save them to my PC so i can have a printable version.
Also i Do not knnow how to link my email address to the carousel it keeps saying something about a pop and I have no clue what that means.
If anyone can help i would be so greatful.

When your system is on, at the top of the screen is a menu bar. On the left should be an apple. Click on the apple, and a drop down menu should have "about this mac" on it. That will tell you what version of the operating system and some other key points about your system. If you click "more info" you'll find all the details on your system.
Back on the main screen again, on your dock which lists programs, do you have an icon for iphoto? If not, click on finder, then applications, if you have iPhoto, you can use that program to read in your pictures and to print them.
On the message you're getting, if you could write down the text, it would help to advise you about it.

Chrome mentions what an extension requires (access all data, etc). Where can I find this in Firefox?

How do I know if an extension in Firefox wishes to access all my data of change my bookmarks?

Firefox extensions have full access to the application, but you're right that there is no specific list of what actual data it touches. I'm not sure there is a good way to figure that out... maybe someone else has an idea?

Bizarre DR16-B2B dual layer failiure

I purchased an MSI DVD dual-layer burner some time ago (I believe it is a DR16-F2, but not sure). It has been working absolutely perfectly for ages (apart from an issue with Nero's 'verify' function, but never mind that).
Recently, I have just got round to using some dual-layer discs. They are Richo DVD+R DL 8.5GB 2.4x -- and are EXTRODINARILY EXPENSIVE, as dual layer discs typically are. I have wasted 2 discs on this problem I'm having.
The drive happily burns the first layer, but when nero says "burning layer 2" in the log, it either: returns a burn-error message in nero, or the drive continues burning (or so the LED status would suggest) but nero gets no further respose from drive or sends any further data to it. My machine absolutely rules, so it doesn't actually crash until I attempt to abort the operation in Nero, then Nero crashes and I have to shut it from TaskMan. The drive continues flashing red (ie the drive itself has 'crashed' and I can not open it to remove the disc without restarting the machine).
I am running Win2k Pro SP4.... the rest of my system info is in the signature at the bottom.
My Nero is the actual "Nero Express" thing I got bundled with the drive.
My country is UK (hence the drive is fixed to Region 2, not that it's important).
The serial for my DVD burning drive is DR16-B2BQ045.
It is a perculiar behaviour considering there are no problems burning layer 1. The drive CLAIMS (on the box and all) to support DVD9 (dual-layer).
Anyone experienced this before? Anyone got any tips for burning dual layer? Any ideas at all, really?
Thanks.
PS Does MSI actually have a designated tech support team? eg via email or whatever? only I can't seem to find any such thing.
Thanks again.

Want to degrade project quality & force content to fit on a dual layer disk

I have a project that is around 19 GB in size, according to my DVDSP 3 meter. I want to degrade the quality of the video and force it to fit on a dual layer disk. Is this possible? Or, should I send the project to Toast and compress it there, forcing it to fit?
Here's a description of the project:
I have 240 small 100 MB clips to compile on a dual layer DVD. (It is a teaching DVD).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jake sorry did not see your post till just now...
Hi Drew, not sure why you are saying use 1-Pass CBR and to drop the bitrate really low?
In the past for very static things, such as text or what I though the poster was describing, I found that a CBR works better than a VBR. I am 99.99% sure that Perry was the one who mentioned that way back when and I tried it and it worked nicely, so have been running with it ever since. (Periodically I go back to run some more tests, and so far it has pretty much held true at least for me.)
I think of it this way (and I know you know this stuff:), more from how my head wrapped around it, and was thinking of the more general DVD SP description of VBRs as mentioned below) - in general, if there are no changes between the frames, VBR is not going to allocate different rates since each from uses the same rate, 2 Pass primarily is looking for areas of motion. So for what I thought what was described, CBR would seem the way to go.
Though of course if some sections have more color, etc, maybe it is worth it, for instance one segment has three big color circles on the white board vs just one circle.
The DVD SP guide mentions it is looking for motion areas, though the Compressor guide indicates it is broader than that, so I guess I was thinking more of the motion search as oppossed to detailed areas since it seemed fairly static with not much detail - linear graphics and marks, and then followed through on time of encoding vs possible quality increase.
And the budget idea is the way to go.
Time to rewrap my head

HELP! DVDSP won't let me burn dual layer in PTP. always forces to OTP

Everytime I try to burn a project on a dual layer (pioneer dual 111 drive) on my g5 running OS 10.4.5 with most recent version of DVDSP 4, it sticks me to OTP. I understand the difference between PTP and OTP and I build the project with PTP selected and I select an appropriate break point and when I click "burn" and watch the build log, it says "doing opposite track path"
why does it keep forcing me back to that? can I not burn PTP on dual layer discs?
is this a glitch?
am I doing something wrong?
any advice is super appreciated!!
thanks,
Christian

Duh! I feel so stupid. I knew there had to be a simple answer. Thanks so much for clarifying. now I can stop feeling like I was doing something wrong.
Thanks again!

Incompatibility issues with Dual Layer DVD+R help?

I think I've made a serious mistake in believing I could author a Dual layer dvd for replication and sale on my own. I've spent over 14 months on this film, which is working perfectly in Encore, complete with extensive menus and transitional movies.
I've done my best to transcode the media in the most compatible way (keeping bitrate below 7mbps and using dolby digital audio format) BUT I'm still having bad luck with MOST dvd players.
The DVD plays properly on my cheap sony player, but both my toshiba and humax/tivo players failed to read the disc. (multiple tries/burns....or coasters, now) I've read that there are common problems with dual layer +R.
MY QUESTION IS: what is the BEST POSSIBLE WAY to author/burn this project for mass replication? Can I really achieve the result I'm looking for with Encore or will I have to give up and go to a professional authoring house with DLT capability?
Will I get the best result by burning from encore straight to disc OR burning an image or folder, then using a third party burning program?
Thanks SO MUCH for any responses. This process has been soul-crushing.

>The DVD plays properly on my cheap sony player, but both my toshiba and humax/tivo players failed to read the disc. (multiple tries/burns....or coasters, now) I've read that there are common problems with dual layer +R.
Marc, the only mistake I think you are making is in assuming that set top players can handle a written DVD+R DL disc.
Support in older players is at best sketchy.
If the disc is working properly in at least one player, then you should be good to go.
Replication will produce a different type of disc. One that
i will
play properly.
Not all burners support book typing, and unless you know what you're doing here do not use these "fudges". It's best using Plextor, and even Benq burners. The freeware utility IMGBurn has this ability, and it also tells you what burners do this. I've never needed it personally, as my Pioneer burners & Denon players have no trouble with +R DL media.
What you really need is a player that you
i know
plays DVD+R DL discs properly. Once you know your player is good with the format, then all other inconsistencies are player related, not authoring, and not your problem. There is simply no way at all you can guarantee any form of compliance with +R DL media, as there is nothing in the specs that says any set top player has to read these discs. Or -R DL where support is generally even worse.
Whilst most players will read -R single layer & +R single layer, again there is no mandatory requirement to do so.
You will need to get these
i replicated
and not duplicated. Duplication (burning) will result in a lot of returns, and a lot of wasted money.

Backup to DVD doesn't span properly with dual layer media.

I attempted to use the backup feature in Itunes 7.0.1
After choosing backup to disc, it provided a warning that the backup would require more than one CD - and that's OK by me, so I went ahead and put media in the drive. It started and after filling the first disk, it stopped and said it was aborting because of an 'unspecified error?'
My DVD drive is capable of dual layer burning, and I use good quality media. It did successfully burn the DVD, but only part of the library was backed up onto the dual layer DVD I was using. I have used both this drive and this type/brand media succesfully on numerous other projects.
It looks like the backup routine fails when using dual layer media and backing up more than will fit on one media.
I could't acess the bug report paga so am posting it here.
I don't know if it's repeatable, because I don't want to waste any more dual layer DVD's.
Windows XP Pro, non remarkable system otherwise, P4 2400 - 1G memory no weird startup programs, no anti virus running. pretty much plain vanilla.
Just thought other might have the same issue.

Dual layer DVD will not play after iDVD burning

Hi All,
I am having some trouble making a useable DVD. I have a video that I recorded and imported into iMovie (2h33m long). I exported it to iDVD, which told me that I needed to use a dual layer DVD to make it fit. Here's where I noticed the first problem: iDVD has one option for a dual layer disc, stating that it has 7.7GB storage space, and my discs have 8.5GB. I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD. After burning two discs, I still do not have one that works. It comes up as "supported disc not available" on my Mac, and as a blank disc on any other machine I put it in. It will run on my coworker's brand new iMac, but that is the only one. Am I doing something wrong? The only mistake that I have corrected since I have tried all this is changing the aspect ratio back from 4:3 to 16:9 in iMovie (I am not sure how that happened, as the video was originally recorded in 16:9). I am re-exporting the file to my desktop now in the proper ratio, and changed the quality to HD. I am waiting for the file to encode as we speak. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this work is for my local school board and is very time sensitive.
I am running a 28" iMac, 2.66GHz Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive on OSX 10.6.8.

I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD.
That part I don't understand.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

DVD Burns Dual Layer gives Scrambled Results & Crashes OSX!

Hello,
I'm using Disk Utility in Leopard to try and copy a DVD dual layer. The method I use is create DVD Master image using disk util, then burn to Dual Layer disc using Disk Util again. I've tried DL +R and -R from Verbatim, Imation, a No-Name brand, TDK, and the result is all the same - the DVD when played back on a Sony DVD player is all scrambled and jerky. The source DVD is fine.
Also if I try and play the burnt DVD in Leopard DVD Player, the whole MacBook freezes and requires power off to reset it!
Anybody else seen this before?

This could be due to your DVD Player not being able to play DL burned media. Mine places burned SL DVD's no problem, but balks on DL DVD's. Won't even load them. Does the original DVD have DRM enabled on it? If so, then that is most likely the problem. Most movie DVD's have it enabled now a days, and some computer games (like The Sims for example) have it enabled too.

No clue, sounds like a kernel panic. What happens if you try to run the DVD on another machine?

Trying to burn 2 1/2 hr DVD......Do I need dual layer or different compress

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to burn a two and a half hour DVD using compressor from FCP 4.0 Just one of the 1 hour tracks kicks me over the 4.7 gb limit in DVD SP. Is ther any other way to get this video on a normal DVD or do I need to get a dual layer burner?

Well, there is as little glitch in FCP that you might have to work around to get AC3 audio, but here's what I'd do:
When you export from FCP via Compressor select two presets, one for the MPEG-2 video and the other for Dolby audio. You'll get two files when Compressor is done, and one of them is an AC3 file with stereo audio, nice and compact.
However going this rout directly from FCP may require that you use the AIFF audio preset in Compressor to get audio that will actually work in DVDSP. You can then run the AIFF file (much bigger) back through compressor to get AC3 and that will work just fine.
Alternately, someone else here said that if you export from FCP to QuickTime movie and then use that file in Compressor the AC3 file works just fine in DVDSP. either way there is an extra step so flip a coin.
Anyway, yes you have to export audio and video from FCP through Compressor using separate presets, though now with Compressor 2.1 they are all right there in the same folder for 90 minute, 120 minute, etc.
Good luck!
