  • Subtitles Won't Turn Off for Finished DVD

    I have a DVD with a subtitle stream that includes buttons. When I play the DVD in the simulator, everything works properly (when the DVD starts, the default settings are to NOT have the subtitles display), but when I burn a DVD, it doesn't matter if it's the DVD Player app, or one of several DVD players I have tested it in, the subtitles will always display, even when I turn them off using the menus. I have made many other DVDs with subs before and never had this issue, so I am wondering if anyone knows of something I should check.

    Oh, it's obvious now.
    Your OP:
    I have a DVD with a subtitle stream that includes buttons. < </div>
    An here is the current post:
    Okay, thank you for your help, but it turns out the problem is because of the buttons over video in the subtitle stream. When I only have one subtitle stream and it has buttons in the subtitles for that section, it will always show up, no matter what I've scripted/set/configured.
    The OP only said the track included buttons. You didn't really say what they did or where they were. I sent you off on a completely incorrect path because I read that as there were some buttons on the DVD, not that the subtitle stream itself included buttons. A subtle distinction but critical.

  • Dvd player subtitles always on

    since I upgraded to 10.6, DVD player always has subtitles on. This is happening with rented  dvd's.  no matter what I turn off in the control menus, subtititles are always displayed.  anyone else with this issue?

    Just use another player like VLC and you will have full subtitlte control.
    But the DVD Player does have a little control in its control panel in the upper right which you can repeatedly click to cycle through the available subtitle languages or turn the subtitle off.
    It's the top right of those 6 control boxes.
    Note, if those 6 controls are not showing grab the little slider (double lines) on the right and drag to the right to make it appear.

  • DVD player subtitle problem

    I can't get rid of subtiltles tried with many different DVDs and even when off the subtitles are still shown.
    What can I do
    P.S.
    There is a lot of funny things happenning in tiger, itune can't save libraries, finalcut pro shots down with no reasons and I get the screen of death when I try to reinstall tiger.

    Hello,
    Sorry to hear you are having problems with your Mac.
    Re: the DVD problem. Showing subtitles in movies
    Some movies may include subtitles in one or more languages. You can display subtitles using the Controller.
    With the movie playing, choose Controls > Open Control Drawer to show the hidden controls.
    Click the Subtitle button to turn subtitles on. If subtitles in other languages are available, press the button to choose one from the menu.
    Note: Some discs may not allow you to change subtitles in this way. You may need to use the disc's interactive menus instead.
    You can also use the Navigator to find out which subtitles you are currently using and change the selection.
    To set the default language for subtitles, choose DVD Player > Preferences and click Disc Setup. Choose a language from the Subtitle pop-up menu.
    Some discs may also support DVD Player's closed captioning feature.
    As for the software glitches and the fact you can't reinstall Tiger is much more of a concern that the DVD glitch. Have you tried booting from your Tiger disk holding down the C key? I need more details please in order to assist you.

  • Apple DVD Player installers won't recognize Lacie d2 16x4x12x

    Greetings :
    My eMac has a CDR internal drive only.
    I just upgraded to Panther (upgrade disks) and I'm running 10.3.9.
    I'm trying to get the Apple installers to recognize the Lacie d2 I just got, so that I can install the Apple DVD player (software update?) or import a DVD player from another machine.
    The software won't install because it says it can't detect a proper drive, and the player I imported won't open for the same reason. I tried using Patchburn, Pacifist and the installed Installer on my eMac to no avail.
    Here's what my system profiler says about the d2 : : :
    FireWire Bus:
    Speed: 400 Mb/sec Speed
    LaCie 1394 DVD-R/RW+CD drive LUN 0:
    Manufacturer: LaCie Group SA
    Model: > LaCie 1394 DVD-R/RW+CD drive LUN 0
    Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
    Disc Burning: Vendor Supported
    Removable Media: Yes
    Detachable Drive: Yes
    Speed: 400 Mb/sec Speed
    Unit Spec Id: 24734
    Unit Software Version: 10483
    Firmware Revision: 2.07
    I believe the Lacie d2 I just got is the previous generation,
    no lightscribe. It works great (plug an play) for burning data but I'd really like to use the native Apple DVD player to watch DVD video with the drive. I downloaded the free/open source VLC media player and it seems to work well enough,
    but I'm on a mission to use Apple software if possible.
    I'm also thinking of upgrading to Tiger soon so I'm wondering if I'll have any corresponding issues there.
    Oh, and I did download and install the latest driver was from the Lacie site.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   700 MHz / 384 MB / 40gig / CDR internal

    BTW: here is the fix in case anyone needs it
    Follow it exactly, it works !
    1. Download and install Pacifist.
    2. Insert Mac OS 10.3 CD in drive.
    3. Select Open Mac OS X Install Packages button in Pacifist. It will ask you to swap out all three 10.3 install disks.
    4. Click the Find button and type "DVD". A long list should show up.
    5. The important files/folders to replace are:
    -AppleAltiVecDVDDriver.bundle
    -ATIRadeon8500DVDDriver (if graphics card is installed)
    -ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver (if graphics card is installed)
    -ATIRadeonDVDDriver.bundle
    -ATIRage128DVDDriver.bundle (if graphics card is installed)
    -DVDPlayback.framework
    -DVD.framework
    -rtadvd
    **There are many duplicates of the files/folders above in other languages. I only chose to install English.
    6. Select each or all and click Install.
    7. Choose to replace all existing files.
    8. Restart. Repair permissions.
    I didn't bother to try to install only the English versions...just installed and replaced all the items on tha list
    ;D

  • DVD Player window won't resize properly

    I have several DVDs recorded on an LG DVD recorder that are the wrong aspect ratio (they play what should be 16:9 as 4:3, making everything look tall and narrow). I have tried everything in DVD Player to fix this, but only one thing works :
    Select Video Zoom
    Deselect "Lock aspect ratio"
    Select Manual mode and move "Width" slider until picture looks correct
    At this point, the adjustments have moved the left and right edges of the video out of the Viewer window. "Hey, no problem" I thought, "I'll just resize the Viewer window horizontally until the whole video is showing".
    Unfortunately, I can't. Dragging the bottom right of the Viewer window resizes it both horizontally and vertically DESPITE the "Lock aspect ratio" box being unchecked. In other words, it wants to preserve a 4:3 aspect even though I have adjusted the width slider manually.
    What I'm left with, is a window that shows the video undistorted, but with the left and right edges missing. What am I doing wrong, or this a bug in DVD Player?

    I launched VLC (which I already have), browsed the VIDEO_TS folder and clicked Play. Immediately VLC started playing in the correct 16:9 window and the video looked correct.
    It seems this must be a woeful discrepancy in Apple's own DVD Player, which I certainly wouldn't have expected. I can use VLC for all similar videos from now on, though it doesn't give me the menu burned by the LG as DVD Player does. However, that's perhaps a small price to pay.

  • DVD Player app won't work with Snow Leopard

    I installed Snow Leopard recently. I tried to watch a DVD with DVD player. It wouldn't work. I got this message in a box: "You can't use this version of the application DVD Player with this version of Mac OS X. You have DVD Player 5.0.3."
    I looked for a recent DVD player update/download and could not find one. Same with Snow Leopard updates...
    Does anybody know the fix or the workaround?
    Thanks,
    Estel Dillon

    HI,
    Download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
    Then repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    In the future, when updating system software, click the Apple Menu  /Software Updates. If that doesnt't work then go here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and use the standalone installers.
    *The DVD Player application is not available to reintall from the SL disc*. If after the suggestions above haven't helped, then back up your important data before you do anything, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
    You can reinstall the following apps from your SL disc.

  • Why won't the DVD Player recognise the burned HD DVD?

    Can't find the answer and don't know where to start looking. (My Software Update is up to date.)
    I spent a (24/7) week compressing, building and burning 60 minutes (3.8GB) of HD-DVD on a DVD-R. The latter plays perfectly in my Mac, (DVD Player) but when I load it into the (Toshiba HD-E1KE) DVD player, the 'green' window starts off by saying: HD DVD, but then switches to saying: M55G and the on-screen caption says: NOT IN DVD FORMAT.
    I have checked and rechecked the DVD-Studio-Pro Disc Properties were set to Red Laser, Single Layer, One Side and 12 cm and (for my case) PAL and HD DVD.
    What am I missing? As you will appreciate, having sweated blood to get this far and for it to fall at the final hurdle is driving me NUTS!
    Mac Pro 2 x 3 GHz Dual Core, 3GB 667 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Well, you all asked how I got on and here it is...
    I am now here in California where I collared a "Genius" in an Apple Store who also knows this stuff. (I love those guys!)
    The bottom line (according to him and he SEEMS to know exacty what he is talking about) Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor and Macs are INCAPABLE of producing an HD DVD, notwithstanding the very strong suggestion to the contrary by Apple in their product information.
    He says that no Apple currently contains the required appraratus to even burn a DVD in HD, assuming you got that far in the editing, formatting and compression.
    I am extremely displeased, as you can imagine, as I have spent a great deal of money and time on a project which (according to the Genius) never had a chance of working - on ANY Mac equipment. All you can do in FCP and DVDSP is produce and burn an SD DVD, so what's the blooming point of all that "HD" suffixing unless to hoodwink people into handing over large sums of money to Apple?
    I suppose there is a slim chance I might find an outfit somewhere in London who will take it all as a data file and burn it onto an HD DVD for me, although I do not as yet know where to look.
    Even if I CAN, it will cost me more money I never anticipated when I started all this and means I cannot produce this (or other such) work independently.
    Forgive me for saying so, but I do find the whole thing close to dishonest, as such a major shortcoming ought to have been made crystal clear on the BOX, let alone within the verbose and often repetitive manuals weighty enough to half fill the Library of Congress!
    Is it me?
    I have to say that it appears there is nobody anywhere who has managed to burn an HD DVD using this gear, so it looks like the end of the road for the stated reason.
    If anybody knows of a way of getting it burned professionally somewhere in England without costing silly money, it might save my project.
    End of rant!!!

  • Need an expert to help with DVD Player app crashing

    I'm not sure why, but my DVD Player app won't launch. I don't think I added anything new that would cause this change. I tried restarting, repairing permissions, but beyond this I'm not sure where to go next. Can anyone make heads or tails from this and offer a suggestion?

  • Widescreen cropping on DVD player

    Hi
    after exporting a sequence from 'Photo to Movie' and writing to DVD - when I play it through my home DVD player the sides get cropped off. I think it has something to do with the fact that its an anomorphic export (dont know much about the process)
    my question is anybody know of any app ie. iMovie, iDVD FCP etc would be able to 'un'anomorphosise' the video
    thanks for your help
    N

    Well.. let me go into more detail about the problem
    The when played, the screen stays at 4:3 with 2 big black bars either side, but the movie playing has been strectched 2 widescreen so that the sides are therefor cropped off.
    I've experienced this with only 1 or 2 commercial DVDs on this player - im guessing its something to do with the player getting confused with the aspect ratio or something.
    Having said this - when I look at the movies info I get the following:
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062),
    Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 44.100 kHz
    Which looks as though it hasnt actually been exported as anomorphic after all
    mmmmm... strange. my only other similar DVD autoring experience was with a widescreen video from FCP (written wit h iDVD) this worked fine - probably because the footage was 4:3 with bars top and bottom
    mmmm... the fact that iDVD6 says it now writes in widescreen looks promosing, but its hard to tell if it would make much difference

  • Playing dvd on dvd player

    I copied pix from iphoto onto a dvd-r disc. The dvd plays on my iBook but when I tried to play it on my dvd player it won't play and I get an "incorrect disc" message on the screen. Does anyone know which type of dvd or disc that I should use to burn photos and play them on a dvd player?
    Thanks
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I don't use iPhoto so I'm not sure what type of DVD iPhoto creates.
    Many DVD players will only play video DVDs. If iPhoto creates data DVDs, they won't work in many DVD players. You will need to use iDVD to create a video DVD.
    On top of that, some DVD players won't recognize recordable DVDs. You will need to look at the specifications for your DVD player.

  • DVD Created with IDVD Will Play on Computer, But Not in DVD Player

    I loaded some video into IMovie, then went to IDVD to create a DVD. It previews fine and the disk burned fine. I can play the disk back in the computer, but when I drop it in a Panasonic DVD Player, it won't play.
    I've been burning for some time now and haven't had this problem before. Disks burned two weeks ago are fine, these are not.
    I've tried a couple different brands of disks, it makes no matter.
    I'm at a loss.

    One of the limitations of iDVD 4 is that 'out of the box' it doesn't support the creation of disk image files - just burning to writable media.
    Your problems sound to be high burn error related. With newer versions of iDVD you can create a disk image file out of iDVD and use Apple's Disk Utility to burn the image to writable media at a low (4x or lower) speed. This reduces the amount of burn errors. None of the iDVD versions prior to the current iDVD '08 had any provision for reducing the burn speed.
    What brand of media are you using? (Maxell and Verbatim have good track records around here.)

  • DVD player region permanently set

    I recently bought a used MacBook.  The optical drive handles music CDs, CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs fine, but it won't play movie DVDs.  Apparently the previous owner(s) changed the DVD region setting five times, so it is now permanently set to something other than Zone 1 (North America).
    My question is:  what's the fix for this?  I'm betting just reinstalling the DVD Player software won't reset the region.  Will replacing the Superdrive with a new one solve the problem, or is there some software setting somewhere in addition to the hardware?

    Well, as usual nobody could help me so I found my own fix.  The answer is that the setting is the firmware of the DVD drive. 
    There is a fix, but it's probably illegal.  I finally found the right combination of free downloads to "flash" the firmware and replace it with a region-free version.  There were many warnings about bad things that could happen, but since my DVD drive was already basically worthless I didn't have much to lose.
    1.  Use "DVD Info X" to verify the firmware settings.
    2.  Download the firmware hacks, but they only work in Tiger (OS 10.4)
    3.  Download "Matsushita Flasher" which allows the hacks to run in 10.6
    4.  Download "RegionX" which allows you to manually set the region code once the hacks have been applied.
    Problem solved.

  • Apple DVD Player 5.4 Doesn't Work

    I recently updated my MacPro to 10.6.5. Included in this update is a new version of Apple's DVD Player. The new version of DVD Player is 5.4. The installation package includes the application and an entirely new system framework to support it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my system.
    As a reference point, my MBP is still running 10.6.4. It has DVD Player 5.2. It works great.
    I'm unable to play DVD's or load a VIDEO_TS folder using the latest version of DVD Player on my MacPro. I didn't have any problems with DVD Player up until the Mac OS 10.6.5 update.
    Further, VLC on my MacPro works fine. This problem exists for all users on my MacPro.
    I tried to reinstall DVD Player 5.4 using Pacifist, but there was no change. I dl'd the 10.6.5 package from Apple when I did this. I also tried to reinstall the 5.4.1 framework.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any known fixes, I prefer to use DVD player over VLC. Nothing against VLC, but DVD Player is a great app when it works.
    Thanks!

    Yea, I got to thinking about that after I posted. You're right, Boot Camp is safe.
    What's very strange is I tried a LOTR DVD over the weekend and it played fine. Thinking it to be a fluke, I tried another ... this time Elf. It worked. I then tried playing from two different VIDEO_TS folders on my HD. They worked too.
    I can't explain it. I tried to surgically remove all of the key video player components (including the framework). I then reinstalled these files using the 10.6.5 combo update. No change. I then restored these files using Time Machine (I didn't want to risk messing something else up as there are quite a lot of dependencies stitched together via symlinks at the framework level).
    So I should've been back to where I started. A few days later, everything appears to be working.
    I have no answers, but I'm glad to have my DVD Player back.
    This is off topic, but I also solved a problem I've been having with my mouse for YEARS. I had problems with the Mighty Mouse and later the Magic Mouse on my MacPro. I thought it was my desk. That is, I thought the surface of my desk was causing tracking problems. Very annoying tracking problems. I know, I should've considered bluetooth, but I didn't. To be honest, I wasn't experiencing any other bluetooth related problems so I really thought it was my desk. This problem became unbearable when I was working in Maya last week so I started researching mouse surfaces and mouse pads again (ha!). I inadvertently found this obscure PDF via google. It was written by some guy who was having the same problem 2-3 years ago. Following this guy's procedure, I cracked open my MacPro and moved three difficult to reach wires. Now my Magic Mouse is as smooth as glass. As is my older Mighty Mouse. It turns out that my Airport and Bluetooth modules were wired incorrectly at the factory in China. Honestly, this has been screwed up since 2007. Apparently, this has happened to quite a few people though I never heard about it until now. It would've been nice if Apple would've published something when they discovered they had shipped units with incorrectly wired Bluetooth modules! (if they did, I've yet to find anything from them on the subject). Whatever, I'm glad to have my MacPro's mouse working properly.

  • 10.4.8: DVD Player & external drives

    I just posted this to another thread, and then realized that thread was marked "Answered." So I'm starting this new one.
    My problem began after I upgraded to 10.4.8 (via Software Update) this past weekend. For some reason, DVD Player will not work with DVDs on my LaCie external DVD drive.
    When I insert a DVD, DVD Player opens (as per my CDs & DVDs system preferences), and then I get:
    "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found (-70012)"
    And when I click "OK," DVD Player closes. The volume does mount, however, and the drive shows up in System Profiler fine. The problem is with DVD Player. If I try to open DVD Player with the disk already in, I get the same error (and again it closes after "OK"). So I can't open a VIDEO_TS folder anywhere else either. DVD Player just won't open completely.
    It sorta seems like the OS has reverted back to its behavior in 10.3, when DVD Player wouldn't even install unless you had an internal Apple DVD drive
    (see, from 2004: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42727 ). At the time, the only way to watch DVDs on an external drive was with an app like VLC (which still works). But VLC runs jerky on my older Mac, and the DVD Player interface is much better.
    That changed when 10.4 began supporting external drives for DVD Player, and it worked fine for me just a few days ago in 10.4.7. But now with 10.4.8 it seems like it won't play nice with external drives anymore. I repaired disk permissions after installing the upgrade. And I checked with LaCie & I have the latest firmware in the drive). Anyone know what's going on?
    I have a G4 533DP, running 10.4.8, and the LaCie is a 16x DVD+-R (Porsche Design), containing a _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A device.
    Thanks for any help available.

    Well, not "solved," but I was mis-remembering part of the problem: 10.4 did not correct the inability of DVD Player to recognize external drives -- I forgot that there was a software patch (a terminal script, I think) which allowed them to be recognized. Sorry for the trouble.
