DVD malfunction in player

hi-
my issues is this- i create a DVD with studio pro, everything simulates fine. however, when i put it in a DVD player, i can't toggle to the PLAY button. if there is just one video and corresponding PLAY button, nothing happens when i press play on the DVD remote- just sits on the menu. with multiple video tracks/PLAY buttons, i can't toggle around to the different PLAY buttons with the remote. if i just press PLAY on the remote, the first video track does play, but i want to be able to use the menu, play whatever track i want.
any ideas what might be causing this?
thanks

Click on the menu in the Outline, then look at your Inspector. Under the Advanced tab, make sure that your buttons are not "disabled".

Installing Time Capsule on MacBook Pro w/malfunctioning CD player

I recently purchased a Time Capsule for my daughter who has a MacBook Pro with malfunctioning CD player (long story). Is there anyway of installing the setup software from the web or support site?

if your daughter's Mac is on the same network as yours, you could use *remote install* to install the setup software on her machine.
click here and follow the instructions.
or, you could enable *remote disc* on your machines with the same result. see this:
The CD/ROM in my computer busted, so I decided to try to remotely mount the CD from another computer on mine. I know the MacBook Air can do this, so I reasoned that any Mac could. It turns out it is possible, but the solution is far from obvious -- after much searching, I found the solution here.
Here's a quick synopsis. Go to System Preferences » Sharing, and enable 'DVD or CD Sharing.' (I think you need to do this on both machines -- the one with the drive and the one without the CD/ROM drive). Then, on the computer that does not have the CD drive on it, go to a Terminal window and enter:
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
Reboot this machine, and when the reboot is finished, you'll see the remote CD/DVD under Devices in the Finder's sidebar. Thereafter, you can remotely mount a CD/DVD from another machine.

How do i burn an audio dvd in my thinkpad x-201 with ulthinkpad trabase and dvd/cd burner/ player

hello,,
would someone please point me to directions about how to burn a dvd audio disc. i've looked at various lenovo sites, but no luck [i don't even know the how-to basics, so pls excuse my ignorance]. there doesn't appear to be any application/program for burning dvds and cds on this machine.
using windows xp pro, sp3, thinkpad x-201 with x200 ultrabase and dvd/cd burner/ player
thank you.

hi, thanks for your earlier reply. here's a clarification of my question:
i have a cd with music from an album mix. because a cd lacks enough space to copy the entire album, i would like to burn it on a dvd, which has more than enough space.
do i simply copy the cd into windows media player's library, and then burn it from media player to a dvd?
or, is there a cd/dvd burner available from some manufacturers? i seem to recall roxio or nero as software that will give me what i want.
my lenovo x201 thinkpad rests on an ultrabase that has dvd/cd burners.
i am so confused.
again, thanks for replying.

DVD+R works on Mac and Playstation but not a DVD or Bluray Player

I converted old VHS tapes to DVD for my Grandma, and I checked to make sure they worked using my Mac and Playstation. When I gave it to her neither her DVD or Bluray Player reads it. Is there a way to fix this? Also I had converted a wedding to dvd (using the same DVD+R) and the person said it works fine on their DVD player.
So do I need to own both +R and -R?

Found a solution to the problem. The permissions for the firefox.app file were not set to admin - read-write. After adding this permission using the get info menu item when right clicking the file name in the applications folder, the tab now automatically opens when clicking on Email link.

No you cannot.
You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer. You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

I HAVE A SHOW COMING UP ON THE 5TH AUGUST AND I WOULF LIKE TO HAVE MY DVD TO HAND OUT
PLEASE HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!

Hi:
You probably authored a HD DVD and those just play in your MAc, not in standard DVD players. Check your disc properties in DVDSP:
and/or here
You must select SD DVD to play in standard players.
Hope that helps !

Dvd works in player but not in mac dvd viewer...

Ok, so let me know if this has already been discussed...
I just created a movie, exported to idvd, set everything up, and burned it. It opens and plays just fine in my dvd player, but when I put it back into my iMac G5 or into my IBook, it won't open the menu or play the movie. It says it is not supported...any ideas?

Just kidding everyone...I figured it out...THanks!

DVD stops in player

I've tried so many things and burned so many coasters--hopefully someone will come up with the missing link!
My DVD's appear to be fine and play in the computer. In a DVD player, however, the menu comes up, but playing a title causes the DVD to stop, returning to the player screen. I'm using media that has worked great in the past (Ridata). Here's what I've done:
- Upgraded to iDVD 5.0.1. I was having the same problem in 4.0.1.
- Trashed preferences.
- Software Update.
- Repaired permissions.
- Run MacJanitor.
- Run Preferential Treatment.
- Run Cache Out X.
- Cleaned drive.
All with plenty of restarts. Any other ideas? Could my Superdrive be broken? It's 3 years old and has burned hundreds of discs. Thanks for any help.

IDVD doesn't like being messed around with...
My last project used 26 black and titled TIFFs I inserted between slideshow images. Had no trouble. I didn't like the looks of the JPEG version.

DVD stuck in player

I put a dvd into my Macbook Pro but cannot get it out. The dvd icon doesn't show up on the desktop. It appears that nothing is in the player. I pressed the eject button on the keyboard but nothing happens. How can I get it out?

Is this a standard-sized DVD or one of the mini or odd-shaped disks? If one of those, they are incompatible with slot-loading optical drives and may need professional attention to remove.

Playing the DVD on VLC player

Hi there
I have authored a dvd in dvd studio pro and it has to play on PCs. Since it is very copy heavy it looks really crappy when played in WMP. Someone suggested i include vlc player on the dvd to play off and indeed the quality is great. it however jumps from one scene to the other and does not play in sequence, while in all the other players it plays in the correct sequence but worse quality
anyone have any ideas?
thank you for all the help
jammy

my advice to all my clients is to never use windows media player for playing DVD video
the results are very poor if the video plays at all.
the user must install a separate decoder for MPEG 2 video that is compatable with windows media player. Most users will not have the patience, ability or resources to do this
Many users will be viewing the DVD on networked computers which will not allow users to install or change local configurations
If the user has a DVD drive, it will be much simpler to use the supplied DVD software player that will be installed on the computer already

Is there anyway to capture stills from a DVD your are playing on the DVD player? Someone told me there was once, but I forget what he said to do.
Thanks!

See if the following works.

How do i just have the main MENU appear when DVD opened in player?

i'm doing a DVD in iDVD08 & when i burn it & try in a DVD player the first movie starts playing automatically whereas i want just the main menu to come up showing all the submenus available. can someone tell me how to do this as i can't find any info in help files & an iLIFE manual i own.
thanks
Gary

thanks for replying.
i have tried to delete the first square (the greyed one that says "drag content here to automatically play when the disc is inserted) as i surmised this might be the thing to do to bring up the main menu first but iDVD 08 won't let me delete it?

Anyone knows what does it mean? Why I can't burn a dvd on the computer's player? THanks

I am using MPEG2 not AVC.
I tried recreating everything couple of times starting from exporting form premiere, but no luck. Then I decided not to re start from premiere but just try a new encore project. I imported Premiere encoded M2v video and WAV audio in Encore. This way I lost the chapter markers created in premiere, so I recreated chapters in encore, and created menu. And started to build the DVD. This time my file size shows at 22.4 GB (and not 267) - which is great. But it did not succeed in building the DVD - got error 14 - file format error.
When I created new Encore project, I chose 20 mbps data and edited encoding settings to 29.97 (as by default Encore was changing it to 23. something frames) - other settings were Min data rate at 7 (it does not let me increase that), taget rate 22 and max 30.
Any suggestions to resolve error 14?
Thanks.

Burn dvd or Flash Player

I am using a program called Photoshow which came with my
Comcast service. It uses flash media player 7 to play the digital
slide shows with music. I was wondering if there is a way to burn a
dvd of a flash player file from my computer to a dvd. I have a
burner but need a program to convert the file.

Yes, these two files are there, but the AC3 file does not run, even there. Is as if caught. The video file plays normally.
