DVD rom with a DDP

When you create a DDP for a disc that has DVD-Rom material (files to go on the disc), is there anything special that you have to do or is it written into the DDP?
Thanks,
Alex

What do you mean "DDP"? We see lots of acronyms around here. Mean different stuff to people in different disciplines

  • Replaced DVD-ROM with 18x MCE Superdrive. Will not complete a DVD burn!!!!

    updating my gigabit ethernet dual 450 G4 powermac. swapped out the original dvd-rom drive with an 18x SuperDrive from MCE. Running Panther 10.3.9 with all updates. Machine has upgraded 120GB hard drive, 512 RAM.
    Driver loads from MCE install disc. Using Toast 7.1.2 to burn a data DVD-R using automatic "best speed" setting. Drive revs up and "writing lead-in" appears in Toast window, but no blue in the progress bar. Toast then says :Writing disc", and displays a time (usually 1:40), but does not count down. Eventually, the drive becomes silent and the burning process just hangs there. I've let it hang for about an hour. Tried burning a DVD-R with 20MB data, up to a disc with 2GB data, and same thing happens. I then abort the burning process, having to Force Quit 5 times to close Toast, then restart. OS prompt appears as Toast opens, saying "disc contains no volumes blah blah, eject, ignore etc). I eject the DVD-R and ALWAYS on the write surface, there is about a 1/2" of data that appears to be written, but the disc is obviously unreadable. I have wasted 7 out of the 10 free DVD-Rs that came with the MCE drive. Used PatchBurn 3 and it says drive is already supported. System Prof says burning is "vendor supported".
    Tech support on the phone asked about master/cable settings. Superdrive is master (as was original DVD-Rom I removed), and I kept intact the Zip 100 drive underneath, which has no jumper plug on either of the 3 sets of jumper pins.
    I ran the burning process: 1.) with Zip Drive unplugged from shared cable, SuperDrive still set to master. 2.) with Zip drive connected and set to slave, SuperDrive still as master.
    Same burning problem with Toast 7.1.2 as well as the older 6.0 version.
    I managed to however burn a CD-R of data in both Toast versions, and disc burning appears to be supported in the iTunes burning preferences.
    What else. The drive is listed in Toast as DVD-RAM. And apparently tech support has told me this is an LG 18x SuperDrive, and I was instructed to load the driver from the install disc for 20x SuperDrive. The driver froom the 18x install disc (the obvious one I thought, since it is an 18x burner), did not enable burning according to System Profiler and iTunes. I used PatchBurn 3 to create a driver successfully, but had the same burning problem.
    I'd rather find some answers here, than have to call MCE support in Irvine California and use up minutes on my cell!!!
    Please, help. I'm sure I can send the drive back to macmall.com. Can anyone recommend a SuperDrive that will actually work in my G4 Dual 450?
    Thank You!!

    Today I bought that very same model LG - branded, black front from a local PC retailer. It was cheap, bulk without any package or cables,in fact it was only 5 Euros more than a CDRW...
    Apple System Profiler says : DVD-RAM GSA-H55N, vendor Aopen/LG, atapi , firmware id : 1.03 , internal disk id : 0.
    I have a copy of Toast Titanium 6.05 -> upgraded for free at Roxios website to 6.1.1 and succes - I have burned a 550 MB CD-R with Toast under my beloved Jaguar OS 10.2.8 at full speed settings in virtualy no time ;.)
    I am bidding on ebay right now for a copy of Apples ilife (2003) which contains idvd3, the only version which will run on my specs.( idvd4 is some 700Mhz minimum ) . I will try tomorrow how about patchburn in the Jaguar edition will make this drive compatible with Finder's or itunes burn buttons.
    Anyway, Toast 6 seems to be able to do the job, and it can make DVDs and Video-/ Picture and what not else CDs too. I did not doctor with the speeds settings, I left all to "best possible" and it burnt in very little time a disc I can read on my Tiger Mac too.
    The G4 PCI tower ( 1999 - 2000 ) is built on around the same mainboard as the blue/white G3, it has internal 100 MhZ IDE-bus, so it works even this old and I would expect any G3 tower wo also support that combination of Software/OS/Burn Apps. Those old machines can do wonders, let alone you need the Software from back when it was "High-End". - Of course I could put Tiger and ilife 06 on it, but then it would get ridiculous slow and unproductive.
    Just my few first opinions with the all new Burner in the oh so old machine

  • Sharing DVD-ROM with windows computers ?

    altought i'm very experienced with linux, i'm rather new to mac os, so if this question sounds dumb, accept my early apologies.
    thing is, some time ago, i was trying to copy some printer drivers from a CD to a windows box that didn't have a working cd-rom reader. at first i tried to share my ibook's dvd drive with the windows box, but couldn't find a way to do that from the GUI. since samba is nothing new to me, i edited samba's smb.conf file and added the share manually. after i restarted samba, the windows box could see the share, list the cd's folders but it couldn't open any file nor run executables.
    all windows said was that i didn't have permission to do so.
    i ended up sharing the C: drive on the windows machine and mounted it on mac os to push the files to a temp folder on the wondows side.
    i found and old thread here (from 2000 IIRC) about a shareware that could share folders other than my own home folder, but i don't want to use it, i rather edit smb.conf manually. i'd like to know if there's anything alse besides adding the share in smb.conf that'll allow windows to access the files on my DVD unit.

    ok here is the problem the mount points of volumes on Mac OSX differs from linux,
    In linux volumes are mounted in /mnt
    however on the mac the reside in /dev for example my dvd drive on my imac is
    /dev/disk1s1
    but the only way to browse the volume is using is pathname /Volumes/dvdname
    where dvdname is that actual name of the disk.
    So I can easily setup a samba sharepoint on my using the /Volumes path e.g add the following to /etc/smb.conf
    [dvd]
    comment = dvd drive on macintosh
    writable = no
    path = /Volumes/dvdname
    The problem is that whenever you change your dvd roms you have to change the path to the /Volumes/ each time.
    Sharepoints would be quick way of doing this.
    I have tried using path = /dev/disk1s1
    but I get an error I will keep digging and if you google around as well maybe we can find a good solution.

  • Saving photos to DVD ROM with iMovie

    If I create a slide show with iDVD, I can set up an option (in preferences) to "always save slide show photos to DVD ROM". With this option selected, when I write a DVD, the photos are writen to a directory along with creation of VIDEO_TS files etc.
    I like this option, since it gives me a way of storing the JPEG along with the same slide Show DVD. So at a later date if I want a single JPEG, I can get it from the same DVD as the slide show.
    I want to use iMovie to create a slide show, since I want to put animated titles, various transitions between slides, and Ken Burns effect etc. But if I create an iMovie, is there a way to store the JPEG to the same DVD in a directory? I do not see any option, I am willing to take the iMovie to iDVD to get it done, even with this, I do not know how to save the JPEG to the same DVD-ROM.
    Can some one help me with this.
    Thanks,

    there's no single-click option, but you have an option...
    in iPhoto, create an album with your pics (we need that later in iM...)
    "export"/share this album to a new folder on your harddrive (don't forget where...)
    create your iM project, using that album
    when finished, create new iDVD project, use your iM project...
    when finished, in "expert" (<< english nomenclatura? the menu option between Project and Windows...) you can choose "dvd rom content"
    in that dialog, choose your exported folder with pics to add it as pic.files ...
    done.

    thankyou!

    I might be in the same boat as some of you... I got my K8N Neo Platinum exactly a year ago. Up til recently, I was content to burn DVD+R at 8x speed with my Lite-on 411S (Single layer).  However, I was impressed with Plextor's PX-716A, and moreover I went for the SATA version, PX-716SA. For a year, I never had trouble with the WD SATA hard drive connected to the SATA0 port, so I thought there wouldn't be any trouble with the Plextor drive. When I read a DVD-ROM with this drive, I can only get up to 7.3x speed, while DVD+R writes are limited to 6.5x (on good media like Verbatim 16x).  Quality is good, but I am disappointed that the speed is not 16x.  I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and I read a few places that I should use the default Windows drivers.  Could this speed limitation really be caused by a driver?  Secondly, if I install the default Windows driver, what steps do I take (please be specific)?.  What should I look for in the alternative location of the driver. When I removed the Nvidia IDE drivers, they came back on the next boot-up. 
    -K8N Neo Platinum with 1.7v firmware (Nforce 3 250Gb)
    -PX-716SA with 1.07 firmware [SATA]
    -Plextools v2.23
    -WD 80GB Sata HD

  • Max # of files in DVD-ROM?

    I'm trying to burn a DVD-ROM with just over 100,000 .tif images, nearly all of which are 150KB or less. The total size of all of the files is less than 3.5GB. When I move the files to either a Burn Folder or to a blank DVD-ROM, I can only burn about 36,000 of the files. I do not get any error messages during the burn and I'm using Maxell DVD-Rs, which I've used successfully in the past.
    Am I trying to place too many files on on DVD? Are there any work-arounds?

    I don't know for sure, but try creating an "Images" folder in the burn folder and then put the files in there instead of directly in the burn folder.
    Limitations on the root level of a drive are often stricter than limitations on its subfolders.

  • Director projects on DVD ROM and DVD video

    Hi all,
    I need your attention and your aid to solve a doubt and a
    job. I've to create a DVD Video that plays on dvd home players and
    on macs and windows computers, with dvd readers. Moreover I need
    that the same DVD contains a directors project (the same project
    for mac and win system) that start automatically, when the dvd is
    inserted in a dvd reader of a computer.
    Is it possible?
    Does director make it (DVD video + DVD rom with a directors
    project?
    Director vs DVD Studio Pro in order to obtain a master DVD
    hybrid (DVD video + DVD rom with a directors project)?
    Thanks for your attention,
    Mirone

    Wahey!!! That's me!!! Crikey I don't remember posting to that
    forum!?!
    Anyway, back to your problem - as already noted there really
    isn't an
    elegant way of solving it! You quite literally have to whack
    everything into
    one folder - when it comes to hybrid DVD-Videos there's no
    'nice partitions'
    as we have with hybrid CD-ROM I'm afraid!
    The route I took was to develop the DVD-Video and add the
    Director Windows
    projector and its gubbings via the ROM content folder [used
    Encore - but
    DVDSP isn't too far apart].
    Also within this DVD-ROM folder lay a Mac disc image [DMG] of
    our Director
    Mac projector with it's associated Xtras, etc. - with enough
    time on my
    hands I could easily have added asset sharing but time was
    tight to say the
    least and I knew I had lots and lots of space on the DVD so
    basically
    packaged all the assets together with the projector within
    the
    aforementioned Mac disc image. I also added a PDF + text
    document at the DVD
    root level explaining to Mac users that they would have to
    mount the
    included Mac disc image to gain access to the data side of
    the disc.
    As it's been pointed out already it isn't pretty and it isn't
    elegant,
    but... it works!! I was also advised by our replicator's that
    this is the
    "safest" way to go. Yes you could try the Mac partitions
    route but there
    really is NO guarantee that all standalone DVD players are
    capable of
    reading the final disc - I wasted numerous coasters with such
    ideas and it
    was very, VERY hit and miss!
    If you've a wide DVD-Video collection take a look around at
    some of the
    titles that hold ROM content as well and you'll find that the
    big studios
    also produce their DVD's in the same fashion, for example
    [off the top of my
    head] the Matrix trilogy are produced in this way.
    Good luck...

  • Can I swap the CD-RW with a DVD-ROM from older iMac?

    I have two slot loading iMacs.
    1)iMac DV spec ed. 400 MHz with DVD-ROM from Oct. 1999
    2)iMac spec. ed. 700 MHz with CD-RW from summer 2001
    Can I put the DVD-ROM from iMac 1 into iMac 2, i.e. take out the CD-RW from the newer iMac and put in the DVD-ROM from the older iMac ? Or is the DVD-drive too old ?
    Thanx
    Martin

    I don't see any reason this wouldn't work, but I'd have to wonder why you'd want to do this. a CD-RW is much more useful, in my personal opinion, than a DVD player on a computer.

  • DVD DL with a DVD-rom part

    Hi,
    With DVD SP 3.0.2, I'm trying to burn a DVD-DL, containing a DVD-video part (2,1 Go) and a DVD-rom part (4 Go). The layer is set to Dual and the Break Point is set to Automatic. DVD SP reports an error :
    "Formatting Failed.
    Formatting was not successful. A suitable marker could not be found in the required layer break range. See DVD manual for more information."
    I think that the problem is that the DVD-rom part is bigger than the DVD-video one, and a marker can only be on the video part. As layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1, the break point should be on the DVD-rom part. DVD SP3 seems unable to do this. Does further versions of DVD SP can do it ?
    I also thought of burning with Toast, but I don't think that Toast will include the DVDaccess function. Am I right ?
    If anyone as an idea that could help me...thanks !

    Do you have any markers in the video towards the end of the video? If not try adding one and seeing if that helps.
    How big is the video? (size) Did you do a build? You could also add/duplicate the track and add chapter markers in there to force things if needed.
    Take a look at these threads, there are others but this should help..

  • Is it possible to share assets between a windows and a mac AIR app build with captive runtime on one dvd-rom?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about burning two builds of an AIR desktop app with captive runtime, one for Windows and one for Mac, on a single hybrid DVD-rom that can be played on both Windows computers and Macs.
    I've tried sharing the assets (video's and pdf's mostly) between the two builds, but I can't seem to get it to work. The only way I have been able to work around this, is to have the assets in both builds, which results in the double the amount of space on the DVD-Rom.
    Is there a way to have the two builds use a single location to find the files? Or do I need to have two builds that both contain all the assets?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kinds regards,
    Maarten

    Gotcha!!
    I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
    Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
    I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
    Thanks everyone.

  • Idvd project with video and slideshow for dvd-rom file access

    working on an idvd project with both a video section and photos in a few photo galleries. its' a slightly more complex project, but still only 2gb on a 4gb disc. After we burn (with all dvd-rom contents checked, and advance>edit dvd-rom contents shows photo files all there) the finished disc doesn't have files available in the dvd-romcontents! its' driving us mad as simpler projects are burning properly, with both photo and video files available. Could there be some kind of conflict occurring? does anyone have any ideas?!
    17" Desktop G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Steve,
    It sounds like Windows Movie Maker Live was used. The regular WMM will Export to DV-AVI Type I, which will Import into PrPro much better.
    I would recommend converting the WMA/WMV to DV-AVI, and Importing that into a DV NTSC (if you are in NTSC-land) Project.
    Then, you would use Encore to do the DVD authoring. There are several ways to get the material on your Sequence into Encore. ADL (Adobe Dynamic Link) is probably the easiest way to do this.
    What is your exact workflow from PrPro, into Encore?
    What brand of blank media are you burning the DVD to?
    This ARTICLE will give you some tips.
    Good luck, and let us know a bit more,
    Hunt
    PS - Multiplexing is the function of combining the Audio and the Video into one file. There are usually two choices, "None" and then often "DVD." For None, you will get two separate files - one for the Audio and one for the Video. With "DVD" you should get a muxed (combined) file. Actually, the separate Audio and Video is the preferred way, if one is doing an Export from PrPro, and then an Import to Encore. One would Import the Video into Encore as a Timeline, and the Audio as an Asset. In Encore, just drag the Audio file from the Project Panel to the appropriate Timeline, where it will snap into place.

    I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer.  How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?  Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device?  Which device works well with the Mac?  Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac?  Thanks!!

    No DV port in camcorder.  Just a yellow AV port/hole.  I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's.  Can I use this with a Mac?  Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac?  Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way?  Thanks again!

  • Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content, Authoring problem with DVD-ROM content

    Out of nowhere, I can't seem to add DVD-ROM content to my latest DVD. The folder is about 1100 photos and weighs in at 1.6GB. The content is accepted, the DVD burns and all seems right until you try to access the DVD folders. The video plays beautifully. The folder structure displays but I can't even get the VIDEO_TS folder to display detail consistently.  This isn't my first time to the fair, I've been authoring with DVDSP for 8-9 years.
    I went back and reviewed the the procedure step-by-step, I even re-named all the photos to comply with ISO 9660 naming conventions...  no joy.  I've
    burned it with and without the Joliet Extension Support, no difference.
    I'm on an (early 2008) 8x3.2GHz Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and FCS3.
    Anyone ever seen this? I'm stumped.

    Michael, thanks for the response. It turns out it's both the size and quantity of photos.
    I feel stupid for not solving this earlier, but it took a trip to one of my back-up systems to see the problem:
    The SuperDrive simply doesn't have the bandwidth to quickly transfer sufficient info to display these additional folders. I tried the same DVD on one of my souped up G5 dualies (with new 16X burner) and it seemed to incrementally display the folders. That's when I realized that a DVD with a couple of GB of video on it is a poor display system. LOL
    I'll re-organize the data into more, smaller folders and instruct the recipients to be patient or drag the folders to their desktop.
