DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro

DVD is Not Burning in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0

I used build and format approach. Both discs play fine on computer platforms, but not on a consumer DVD connected to the TV. Normally I have no problem. I checked and rechecked several times all the preferences for Studio Pro. The only thing I noticed was instead of generating a Video and Audio TS file, it generated one HVDVD_TS file. Is this the issue? If so,where do I correct this (in the settings)?
Thanks

DVD Studio Pro 4 Burning cd-rom, not dvd for playback on TV

Hi there.
I completed an HD project in FCP 7, compressed in "Compressor" and now want to burn a DVD in HD in DVD Studio Pro 4.
I went into "Preferences" and made what I believe are all of the necessary changes to make this happen.
However, when it burns, it won't burn a DVD for playback in a DVD player. In fact, one of my DVD players identifies it as a CD-ROm, and sure enough, it plays in the computer, but not in a DVD player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

HD DVD is a dead format, abandoned by its developers a few years ago after losing out to Blu-ray.
However, HD DVDs will play on later model Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) models of HD DVD players that were made by Toshiba.
Normal, set-top DVD players and Windows DVD player programs have never been able to play HD DVDs. They only play DVDs, which are standard definition only. Some DVD players will upscale the output of a DVD (again, standard definition) to HD dimensions for playback on HDTVs. Some actually do a pretty good job ... some don't. But the fact remains that the source being played can only be standard definition.
So, if you want to make a disc that will contain HD content, you'll need to make a Blu-ray disc. If you want to make a DVD that will play in DVD players, you'll need to make a DVD, which again, can only be standard definition.

DVD studio pro will not burn menus PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
I have created a project, a DVD with menus and subtitles in 2 languages, yet when I burn the DVD (both using build/format option and build format options separately)the resulting DVD has no main menu, actually it has no menus at all! it goes straight into the DVD film where I can change subtitles language only from the remote buttons. The project compiles successfully but once formatting it gives me two hilghlighted errors in the log (which I gather are the layouts/menus)HERE IS THE LOG (highlighted part is error message):

Hi
FIRST check that your Play Movie button in your menu has NOT an Auto Action selected that make it plays automatically your movie when the Menu loads. You'll find that setting in the Advanced tab of Inspector. If not . . .
You can try a workaround, no matter that if you have your Menu as First Play it must work. Try yhis:
- Create a simple black JPG file i.e. in Photoshop
- Create a Slideshow
- Add a the JPG to the slideshow, set duration 2 secs
- Set the Slideshow as First Play
- Set Slideshow End Jump to your Main Menu
Build and burn again.

I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message. It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location." What does this mean?

It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions? If not, please let me know where. Here's my question: Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder". What to do?

Thanks. Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc. This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either. I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn. Any ideas are appreciated.

DVD Studio Pro will not burn DVD in Lacie D2 External DVD Burner

I ordered a new pack of DVD's. These are the Beall 16x DVD's I bought from Meritline.com. I had been using the 8x Beall's with no problem. I was told that my interal drive was not compatable with the faster burning DVDs. So I bought a LaCie D2 External DVD burner 16x. I still can't burn a dvd in dvd studio pro. I tried Patchburn. It said that this burner is already supported.
I am using DVD Studio Pro 2.
Any ideas?

Have you tried burning on other types of brands when burning to your external LaCie? My company bought a NEC external DL burner and it only worked with some type of discs, Maxell DVD+R DL worked but Traxdata DVD+R DL and some other Noname disc didnt work, maybe try that?

DVD Studio Pro 2 will not burn DVDs

I have recently upgraded to Leopard. I can now build an entire project in DVD Studio Pro 2. However, when I try to build, format, or build & format a DVD the application will "quit unexpectedly."
I contacted Apple support and was told to uninstall the program and re-install it. I did that and the problem still exists.
All of my software has been updated.
I understand the software is "older" but if it were unsupported software, why can I build an entire project and only have trouble when it comes to transferring it to a DVD?
My DVD superdrive has been upgraded, and I have burned photo DVDs and CDs with the new burner without any issues.
Does anybody know what else I can do?

David,
I didn't mean to offend you with my frustration with Apple. I understand the need to upgrade operating systems. However, I don't believe that upgrading operating systems should make software obsolute. When Windows changes their operating systems, the programs you have installed on your PC will continue to work.
Leopard is many interations passed the OS that DVD SP came out and you would have the same issues in Windows with what software runs or not and usually Mac software has a pretty good lifetime. DVD SP has not been sold as stand alone for quite awhile unfortunately. Though I do have some issues with Apple from time to time, this is one of those where I cannot fault them.
Try Tiger (I am running PS3 on 10.4.11 MacBook Pro with no issues), but make sure to deauthorize your Photosshop 3 before doing anything on the sytem. As to Leopard, I am not a big fan yet, so unless you absolutely need it, you are not missing much yet.

DVD Studio Pro Not Burning DVD's Completely

Hey guys. So I just got my C2D MBP and am using DVD Studio Pro to burn my completed projects. After 3 different projects, different types of media, as well as multiple attempts...I cannot get it to burn a "completed" "Formatting Finished" DVD. I continue to get error messages either stating "Unknown Drive Error" or it just hangs forever until I Force Quit once it reaches "Writing Lead Out Data" in the burn window.
Anyone have any idea on what is going on, or what I should try?

First, welcome to the discussions.
Without a little more info it may be hard to diagnose.
Just on the surface it sounds like you are tring to place to much content on a standard 4.7gb disc.
The media could be an issue, as well as the burn speed.
4.3 is normally all they will hold.
Try to repair permissions and run the dsk utility

If by chance you are trying to run 16X media that may also be the issue.
The slower speed you burn the better the quality.
Many of the burners in the Mac's do not like the high speed media.

DVD Studio Pro not burning

Ok, so, I recently created a projected, burned two or three copies with no problem. Tried burning again and this came up:
Starting DVD Build NAME OF PROJECT...
Compiler File Error
Build cancelled
Formatting finished.
Building was not successful. See log.
It just wouldn't burn this time. Why? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

In DVD Studio Pro, Click *Build and Format*...
Way at the bottom, instead of selecting your DVD Drive, select Hard Disk. And save as a disk Image (.img)
Then, once you create your disk image, from your finder, right click it and select open with "Disk Utility". Then in Disk Utility, select the image you just created and click burn.
Now you don't have to build a format every time you want to burn another copy... Heck, you don't even have to open DVD Studio Pro....

DVD Studio Pro-Burn button not working

Hi there. I have video to hand in for class in like 6 hours so i'm in a tight spot here.
I'm running FCP 5 suite on a macbook pro 2.6 ghz intel duo. I've created my DVD just fine in DVD Studio Pro, but as soon as i hit burn, a dialog box comes up immediately saying "formatting successfull" and an "ok" button. Then nothing happens. it doesnt even prompt me for a disc to burn onto.
Please help if you have any ideas.
Thank you,
Rene

Welcome to the Boards
Quick thing as a workaround to start:
Try to first build the project and see if it is building correctly (open up the folder in Apple DVD Player)
If so try writing to a disc image and burn that as here
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
Which version of DVD SP are you running? It looks like you may be running a non-Universal Binary version (if it is 4.0.x or lower it is non-Universal)
When you go to the build & format dialog is the burner showing up?
Also seems others ran into this

Is it true that DVD Studio Pro will not burn HD discs?

I an considering shooting in HD and editing that in Final Cut Express, but I have been told that DVD Studio Pro won't create a HD disc without a very expensive addition of something called Blue-Ray. Are there any advantages of shooting in HD, if the final disc won't support it? Would the aspect ratio be 16:9, but with no better definition?
Thanks, Bob

You're better off putting it into Compressor and using one of the DVD presets such as DVD Best Quality 90 mins. That will give you much better quality than DVD SP's built-in compressor.
SD stands for Standard Definition and refers to NTSC, PAL, SECAM, etc, depending on which country you are in.
In DVD SP you can change the aspect ratio settings so that it will display in 16:9 on a widescreen TV but letterboxed on a 4:3 screen.

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

Error burning to LaCie drive from DVD Studio Pro 3...

Whenever I attempt to burn a DVD to my LaCie d2 DVD+-R drive, using DVD Studio Pro 3, I get an 'error #6' and the burn is unsuccessful. At the 'formatting' stage the process hangs up after a couple of minutes and returns an error message with the following text:
"The recording device reported error #6: Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred. (0x29, 0x00.)"
Has anyone else experienced this? I have used both DVD+R and DVD-R discs. I have used the device on two different G4s--a 733MHz, and a dual-1.25GHz. I have worked with the source files on the hard drive, as well as on an external drive. The size of the project is nowhere near capacity for a DVD.
But the result is always the same: Burn aborted, 'error #6.' I'm at my wit's end. Thanks for any suggestions or insight...

hey terry
you say you are directly burning from DVDSP to your lacie drive, correct? is it an internal drive? did you recently replace your drive?
if it is, go to "about your mac" on finder and click on "more information".
look at your ATA and or "burner" (something to that effect) and make sure that is "vendor supported" because if it is not, iTunes, DVDSP and iDVD will have problems burning media directly from those apps.
the easiest way to fix this is with "patchburn". it will make your drive compatible or "supported" by able and you will have NO problems buring.
question: do you have another burning program (such as toast)? do you have problems burning from the finder?

DVD Studio Pro: is it possible to burn unusual resolution video on DVD?

Hello All,
FCP 0.6,
DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1
Compressor 3.0.5
I have a short that has a resolution 1920 x 650 px (it is a split screen video). I am trying to burn it to DVD by using DVD Studio Pro. I tried to export the film from FCP by using Compressor. I customized the DVD Best quality: 90 min setting to "letterbox the area of source" in "Geometry" tab, but the result looks like the resolution is not preserved but conformed to the DVD and the image looks squished. I know I have long trip on this subject but I would love to learn if this is at all possible.
I know of software called: Popcorn from Roxio that supposedly burns anything into DVD. I dont know if I should bother installing and trying..?
Should I experiment with Anamorphic DVD (does a standard DVD player read those)?
Please help and thank you,
Izabela

The short answer is, unfortunately, no. The DVD standard is 720x480, either 4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic. If you do the math, you'll note you'll be looking at a LOT of black screen as you interpolate the 1920 down to 720, even if it's anamorphic.

DVD Studio Pro won't burn disk

I have a DVD Studio Pro file that used to burn without a problem, but now it won't at all. I found all of the files necessary, but when I click the burn button, I get a warning:
The Build Location folder contains a VIDEO_TS folder(standard DVD content). You must remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a HD DVD project.
I wouldn't know where to find this Build folder anyway. I am not sure what to do at this point.
Can anyone shed some light?
I have a 2010 2.66 GHz Macbook Pro Core i7
Thanks!

Are you trying to build an HD DVD rather than a standard defintion DVD? I've never tried to build an HD DVD... does that format also use the VIDEO_TS structure?
A simple alternative to finding and removing the troublesome VIDEO_TS folder is to select a new location for the build -- an empty folder on your desktop, in your documents folder, wherever.
Or, if the contents and/or design of the disc hasn't changed since the last time you built it, find the current VIDEO_TS folder and use that to burn your disc rather than building it anew.
