DVD Encode Won't Enter Media Encoder

Whenever I export my 1080p video to MPEG 2 DVD preset for HD widescreen progressive, Adobe Encoder opens, but it never shows a file and never renders anything. I can export directly out of Premiere, however? What's happening?

You either export to dvd which is 720x576/480.
or BluRay disk 1920x1080 interlaced.
There is a way to get HD on a dvd disk but that is about 20 minutes.
Make a BD iso in Encore and burn that iso with e.g. Nero as an image to dvd.
You do need a BD player to play this dvd disk and it does not play on all BD-players.

DVD drive won't read media.

I recently removed my SONY CD-RW CRX320E: from my G4 Tower to boot windows vista on a newly built PC, The PC BIOS read the drive, but could not read the media on it. When I put the drive back into my mac it stopped reading media. It still shows up in the system profiler, and will still open and close, but no disks show up in the finder. The Drive is pinned as master with no other drives on the IDE.

You might check out your Finder & CD/DVD Preferences in System Preferences and see what they indicate.

CD/DVD drive won't read media

I just bought a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver from a friend (I'm new to this) and she said that the CD/DVD drive sometimes has problems reading discs. She also said that a friend of hers told her that all it needed was a new "drive reader" which would only be about $20.
So far it hasn't been able to read anything for me. When I insert a disc it makes some clicking sounds as if it's trying to read it but then after about a minute it just ejects it without any error message. I'd rather not replace it if I can avoid it.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is there such thing as a "drive reader"? What drive should I get if I do need to replace it?
Thanks.
Jeff

Jeff, welcome to Apple Discussions & the Mac Community.
The drive could have failed. It could also be dust on the read lens inside the drive. You can get a CD/DVD drive cleaner CD at most computer stores.
There are several types of drives that you could replace the current one with:
1) one that is read only (ie. drive reader)
2) one that will read CDs & DVDs and burn CDs
3) one that will read CDs & DVDs and burn CDs & DVDs
#1 is cheapest & doesn't require any special software
#2 & #3 are more expensive & may/will require special software
 Cheers, Tom

Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

Getting the best possible DVD encodes out of Compressor

Is there a decent guide somewhere about how best to set Compressor DVD encode projects up? I take it using the standard two-pass encode settings probably isn't ideal and some tweaks would possible yield better results.
I just read this on another site - Can somebody explain what this is all about?
+The program I used is a Windows software encoder that costs a lot less money than you'd think. I manually operated it (that is, told it which frame was to be an I frame, a P frame, or on rarer occasions, a B frame) by hand rather than letting it assign automatically.+
+Tweaking the GOP structure like this is essential for getting the most out of it, and beyond a certain point actually has more of an effect on the picture quality than bit-rate.+

If you're serious about this, you should also invest in a book dedicated to video encoding. Just look on amazon.com for the latest editions byt the tow or three main authors, search for "encoding" and "video encoding."
The process of getting the best possible image out of MPEG2 is tedious, more like accounting than moviemaking. The best software allows you to carefully preview the results, compare them, and is likely to be supported by a realtime encoding card. And that means it's a very expensive PC application.
At NAB2008 a new product was announced for Compressor that was supposed to provide near real time professional grade MPEG2 encoding. Cant' recall the name. It was about $3k IIRC.

DVD encodes green

I am having trouble burning my movie to DVD, it comes out green? I exported the file as a quick time, same as source (in avid). In the iDVD preview it looks fine but when I burn the DVD the menu is fine but when I hit play it's just encoded it green. I downloaded the avid codec and the file looks fine. Can anyone help me out here.

Pumping and jerking artifact in the DVD encoded video

I don't why understand I get this issue. After having done a DVD encoded file of my movie in Compressor, I get an artifact effect on a certain kind of scene (2 actors dialoging with a country background). I get the background (lawn grass, tree leaves) "pumping", like it was jerking...This unwanted effect appears only on these 2 scenes of the film (the same scene repeated 2 times). And it is random, that is every time I make the DVD file I get the effect in a different point of the scene. All the rest of the film is fine.
Any idea on which can be the reason of this issue?
P.S. You can view the effect in this clip (the resolution is poor respect to the original, but you can view the artifact effect, maybe watching it in full screen)

Cd/dvd drive won't burn a disc,although it will read a cd

i have a compaq cq62 with windows 7 home premium with the cd/dvd drive won't burn a disc,although it will read a cd

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Check if the drive will now burn a disc.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it is now able to burn a disc.

DVD Player won't play some DVDs

My DVD Player won't play certain DVDs. Presumably all commercial DVDs should be playable in the software. Fox discs are a problem. I can get Player to turn on, but after the menu, the screen flashes a reading error, from which it could not recover. Yesterday I tried to play a Paramount disc, and nothing happened. The computer didn't even acknowledge that there was a disc in the tray. A Wolfe Video wouldn't read at first (I got a dialogue box that the disc was blank) but I put it in again and that time it played.
Also, on a side note, I would like future editions of DVD Player to add the feature of allowing the viewer the ability to go backwards a frame at a time, as well as forwards.

Hi, Doug.
This is starting to sound like a different problem. Your original report seemed to apply only to specific DVDs. Now it's with all DVDs. Before we get into how to reinstall DVD player, let's try a few other things that are more likely troublemakers with DVD Player.
1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. Reset DVD Player. Peform all of the following steps before attempting to launch DVD Player again:2.1. Trash the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. This file is the preferences file for DVD Player.
2.2. Using Get Info, make sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write on the following folders on your account:• Home > Library > Application Support.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings.If not, correct the permissions accordingly using the Owner and Access pop-up menus in the Details sub-panel of the Ownership & Permissions panel of the folders' Get Info windows.
2.3. Trash the contents of your Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings folder.3. If none of the above sorts it out, let's see what Console can tell us: After the problem occurs, make note of the time, then immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues that may have been logged when the problem occurred.
4. Note that none of the above rules out the possibility that your optical drive has become defective.4.1. Can you burn DVDs, e.g. even data DVDs from Finder?
4.2. See if the freeware VLC Media Player (nee VideoLan Client) can play the DVDs.Good luck!

Won't enter hdd recovery mode

I have a Tecra A2-s336 model that won't enter recovery mode when I hold 0 during the power up. It flashes *hdd recover mode* (or something like that, it's really fast) then boots right into window. I've checked the recovery partition and it seems to be fine and "healthy". Is there something else I need to do? I simply want to restore it to factory settings.

Tecra A2-S336
Apparently, your recovery partition is not in good shape.
Can you make recovery discs? See the section Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs on p. 63 of the User's Guide.

TX2 DVD Drive Won't Open

I bought the Tx2 2 days ago. I had the keyboard stop working on me and was able to get that fixed. Now the dvd drive won't open. When I first boot up the LED light flashes, letting me know that there is power to it but whenever I push the open button, nothing happens. I have tried ejecting it from the drive icon inside of windows explorer and media player.
I bought this so I could watch movies during my 2 1/2 hour commute so if I can't get this drive open I will be returning it.

Is there a small paperclip-sized hole on the front of, or next to, the drive? If so, you can put a paperclip in there to manually eject the disc drive.
Is the drive showing up in the "Computer" explorer window?
Also, try going to Device Manager and see if the drive is listed or in an error state.

My dvd drive won't open so I can insert a disc. It has opened in the past by pushing the button on my mac

I can't insert any dvd's because my dvd drive won't open when I push the open key. It has always worked in the past. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

It's possible there is a CD/DVD in the drive that's stuck. Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities. Do you see a CD/DVD in the drive? Try ejecting using unmount.
If that fails, restart and hold down the mouse button whe restarting.

Ds store's suggestion: Reboot the computer holding the option key down, wait for the boot drive options to appear, then press the eject key on the keyboard. When it's out, then select your boot drive and click the arrow key to boot up.

If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
Thanks

Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

E440 CD/DVD Drive Won't Open

Hello. I bought a Thinkpad Edge E440 and it came yesterday. However the CD/DVD Drive won't open. If it do the paperclip trick, it will, but when I press the button it just makes a few noises and then nothing, if I right click the drive and press eject, same result. Any suggestions please?

I saw that you posted the suggested paper clip trick as a solution, but it does not work for me. my machine is a new (2011) hp. i do not think it matters that it is a bluray drive. any other hints would be hugely appreciated

Imac dvd drive won't accept disks

My iMac's dvd drive won't let me insert any disks. It feels like there's something blocking the way in. The eject button on my keyboard doesn't seem to be working either – usually the dvd drive makes an 'ejecting sound' when the button is pushed, even when there's no disk. I've also tried some disk ejecting tricks found in this community. The dvd drive seems to be responding to nothing...

Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
No guarantee this will work but it's a start.
