DVD-RW formating problem ?

Hi ALL, funny problem i have, a friend of mine gave me a CD full of Wedding photos, he asked me to put them onto a brand-new DVD-RW+ disc, easy job i thought. I copied all the photos to a folder on my Hard Drive, inserted a blank DVD-RW+, selected all the photos, right click and burn to disc, JOB DONE !
Trouble was the DVD didnt work in his Sony DVD Player (connected to his TV) !!!! He tried other Photo Disc's that i previuosly burnt for him, using Snow Leopard these were OK !.
I took these disc's home to load into my Mac Book Pro, i could then see that the most recent Disc's were "Mac OS Extended" the older disc's, that did work, were "ISO 9660"
So now i can ask the question, Please how do i Burn files to a DVD-RW+ disc and make it "ISO 9660" ???
Tim

I'm sure there's a way to do it with Mac OS but I just like using one of the many free disc burning tools out there

DVD Image Quality Problem

I just began using Final Cut Studio and elected to burn my DVD from IDVD as I am not yet comfortable with Sutdio Pro. When I play back my disc on any computer MAC or PC it plays fine. However, when I play it on a set-top DVD player two problems occur. 1) I get occasional brief pilelation in a scene. It doesn't always happen at the same place in the playback. 2). Some of the video scenes (especially those which I have extended by slowing the motion, even thogh I have applied frame blending) tend to flicker. Neither of these problems occur when the DVD is played on a computer/monitor or even when played on a tv monitor using the s-video output from a computer. But both happen on the three set-top players I have tried. Any thoughts. Thanks.

Welcome to the world of authoring DVDs. It is very difficult to troubleshoot the exact problem. For starters, iDVD did its job, it made a DVD compliant disc that plays on a DVD player. It plays better on your computer DVD player for a variety of reasons. Your computer has much more sophisticated hardware/software for DVD playback than does a tabletop unit. It could simply be that a progressive scan tabletop DVD player may give you better results. The point being that two different players can yield different results. Artifacts/ pixilation can be by-products of MPEG2 compression (which is what iDVD does to create a DVD). It is helpful to have a basic understanding of what makes a DVD a DVD. When you record on mini-DV you are recording to an already compressed format. Arguably a very good compressed format but compressed nonetheless. This means information is being tossed at the point you are using the camcorder. iDVD, or any DVD authoring app on any computer, Windoze or Mac, compresses this material even further into the MPEG 2 format for playback via a tabletop DVD player. Now mini-DV has about 30 frames per second (NTSC). MPEG (in a very basic nutshell) takes a picture about twice every 30 frames and uses this as a reference frame and then only records the motion difference between that reference frame and the next time it creates a reference frame. So you go from 30 frames/second to TWO, with motion difference! This is how one hour of DV which is 13 gigs, can be compressed to fit onto one DVD. Two hours would be 26 gigs of DV compressed to one DVD! Hence the general quality difference between one-hour and two. And keep in mind that is compression will show artifacts that may have always been there but you didn’t see until the other 28 frames where tossed out. Slow motion can also be very difficult to encode. I have found that going under 50% slow-motion is problematic. One work around is to create your slow-motion sequence and send it back to tape and then re-import from the tape. Now it is no longer a software effect but an actual 29.97 fps clip. Clips with a lot of motion, quick pans & zooms, hand held shots and so on, will also suffer more artifacts because the whole frame is in motion and thus difficult to encode. Which is why a tripod is recommended to keep the frame steady!
Just some thoughts… welcome to the Discussions!

IDVD PROJECTS - DVD-R - Formatting

1 Is there any way to preserve all of the screen formatting done after you import a project from FCE. Every time i tweak a video in fce and the n export it to a .mov file - I have ot waste a whole bunch of time re-importing it to IDVD redoing all my menus redoing all the chapters etc etc --- IS there any way i can import a new version of a .MOV into IDVD, and maintain he dvd formatting while replacing the content ?
2 WHy is it better to burn using lower speed and on a DVD-R format in a MAC environment.
3 How can i convert a .img file to a format that titanium would eat?

1. There is a known bug in iDVD that precludes you from making any edits to a movie already in your iDVD project, if the project contains chapter markers.
The result is that all chapters default to the same one. There is no 'fix' for this--you must create a new iDVD project. Even if you see the message that iDVD recognizes that you have made changes (assets have been modified) and asks if you want the changes incorporates into the project, it does not do it properly.
If you'd like to have the same settings in your new iDVD project, you can use 'Grab' to take screen shots of your iDVD project menus/submenus and the Inspector settings for each of them.
If you have a movie without chapter markers in an iDVD project, you may be able to edit the movie and have the changes made in iDVD without problems.
2. It is better to use the lower burn speed to reduce burn errors.
3. Mount the .img image. You should see the TS folders, audio and video. Follow these steps:

How do I copy a DVD -R format disc on an imac that has only one drive?

Hi - I have a 61 minute long DVD-R single layer DVD that I want to copy in an IMAC using my apple class subsciption (so I'll do it in an apple store). Can this be done? Do I Just bring in a blank DVD -4? What kind of IMAC or other mac does this and what apple software does it use??
(At home I have an IBOOK using leopard but the only software on this one is imovie 2008 so I don't know if this will work).
Any help offered would be great! Lisa

HI Steve - well I am stuck. The drive I have on the macbook I'm using at home is a combo drive and here are the stats Firmware Revision: GA0K
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
So, does this mean it will not burn any kind of dvd? I bought blank dvd -R format (Fuji film made these) and when I put the blank into the combo drive it just spit it out when I got to the IMAGE BURN part of the apple instructions. Sorry to be so dumb but if my little macbook will not burn a dvd -R, if someone will tell me what kind of apple computer WILL - then I will do it in an apple class in the apple store since they have one of everything!!!
THANKS GUYS I sure appreciate any and all help! Lisa

We are getting the expected Structure when we AS2 Receiver has the xml format. But while doing module development with the strctxml2Plain, we are getting the below error in RWB CC Monitoring.
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.NullPointerException''; nested exception caused by: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.NullPointerException'
Any ideas, why this error we are getting.....
Thanks in advance,

Hi Vasu,
Not in the Mapping of IR.
In BIC Mapping Designer you have to test with the standard Mappings by providing the sample file whether the Conversion is happening correctly or not.
You have to take the same input file that what ever you are having now.
So that it will say clearly what is the problem in converting the XMLto the required EDI Format...
Check whether you have any Date Format Values are comming from the input file.

DVD Studio burning problem error message: "remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location"; where is build location

DVD Studio burning problem error message: "remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location"; where is build location?

I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I've gotten two different sets of messages. One states that
the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D. The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
What is going on? I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

"The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk). I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem. Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error. If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

Hi all,
Iam getting an unusual error in the J2EE stack in XI.
And the message is:
006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xf(:main:, row:1, col:1044002)(:main:, row=1, col=1044002) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xf(:main:, row:1, col:1044002)' 2006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Exception caught by adapter framework: null 2006-11-30 17:31:07 Error Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: RecoverableException.
My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.
The audit log shows that the mapping got executed successfully and the error is after the step 'Start converting XML document content to plain text '. Is there any constraint in the file adapter regarding the message size for parsing.

Since you don't say what the "formatting problems" are, all we can say is:

Smartform: Formatting Problem with QUAN-Field

I want to print a smartform and get exception 1 (formatting error). With function SSF_READ_ERRORS I get an error table. There is on entry: errnumber = 020011, msgid = SSFCOMPOSER, msgty = E, msgno = 601, msgv1 = wa_outtab-menge.
It seems to be a formatting problem with field WA_OUTTAB-MENGE. But in the structure this field is referenced correctly.
Does anybody know a solution?

I solve this kind of problem in my SmartForm.
Try this:
Go to "Global Definitions" Node, then "Current/Quant.Fields" tab and set these values:
Field Name: WA_OUTTAB-MENGE
Reference Field: WA_OUTTAB-MEINS
Data Type: QUAN

Format problem when export to RTF

Hi,
Iam creating a RTF template, when export to pdf everything working fine. However, when i export to RTF(word) alot of document properties got lost such as :
font size default to 12 when it's blank line; page number are not re-start for multi sections; table properties not holding, header, footer and edge margin are not holding, etc...... Is there any way to fix these. I tried to create a word macro to fix some of the format problems, but the macro have to run manually instead of initialized form a text field option on exit. Any idea on how to fix or work around would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tam

As Yvan points out, no one here can write what they know about it, and the vast majority of us know nothing about it.
You cannot take any decision based on the assumption that Pages will one day support tables in RTFs, because it may never happen. If you need both RTF and tables, the only option is another tool (like NeoOffice, TextEdit, MS Office and so on).

Convert Web Page to PDF formatting problem - 1st line of each paragraph outdented

Hi Folks,
I get a formatting problem when I convert any web page to PDF using the 'Convert Web Page to PDF' option - the 1st line of each paragraph is outdented.
eg if i convert http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new-acrobat-xi.html I get this:
I get the same problem using IE 9, Chrome (latest) or Firefox 30.0. I don't get it converting a Word doc to PDF.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a PC running Windows 7.
Is there a simple setting somewhere I am missing?
Any help much appreciated!

Are you using "Adobe PDF" or "PDF or XPS?" I sounds like "Adobe PDF," but trying to be sure. Have you updated your Acrobat to the latest version? If not, try that.

Is DVD 9 format compatible with MacBook Pro?

I want to purchase a DVD off of Amazon, but the product description says it's a long-format "DVD 9" which is intended for TV-top DVD player, and it is not compatable wtih all computers' DVD players. Will the DVD 9 format work on my MacBook Pro's DVD player?

"DVD-9, holds around 8 540 000 000 bytes and that is 7.95 computer GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Single Sided Dual Layered. This media is called DVD-R9, DVD-R DL, DVD+R9, DVD+R DL or 8.5 GB Media."
Source: http://www.videohelp.com/dvd/
Dual Layer discs have been supported since at least 2005. However, if the disc is a home brew disc, it may not be as possible to read it, if it was burnt at a higher speed than your player can read. Commercial discs tend to be more readable.

Account Specific Apple DVD Player Audio Problem

I accidently went reverse with the wrong "sticky key" locked during a dvd. (I thought I'd pressed "command-arrow")
Since this I have no audio on any video when using the DVD Player software IN THIS ACCOUT ONLY.
After restarting both the DVD player and the Mac with no success, I switched user accounts, and continued watching said dvd with no problem. Switching back, still no sound.
Clearly I created an error in my user account prefs. In the past, an easy fix. But where do I find the user library/prefs in Mountain Lion?

Hi Chris,
Found the "easy" approach..
A) Hold Option while selecting the Go Menu while in the Finder. The User Library shows as "Library".
B) Keep holding Option as you select Library. (If using Sticky Keys, this means lock the Option Key at point A.)
TADA! The user library is opened before one's eyes.
From there, I switched user accounts via fast user switching, repeated the above. Next I copied the DVD Player folder in Application Support to an external drive, switched back, and replaced the corrupted user folder by copying the one on the external drive.
Sound has returned to the DVD Player! It was likely one file, but none popped out at me, so I just replaced the entire file.

DVD-9 format

I need to author a DVD that will be put to DVD-9 format for replication. I do not have a DLT drive for mastering. These are the alternative instructions from the duplication house for DVD Studio. Can this be done in EncoreDVD 2.0? I don't have Encore DVD installed on my workstation yet... so I am just trying to think ahead. Thanks
Using DVD Studio Pro:
1.) Once project is open, go to "build & format"
2.) Under the "general' tab selct output device to "hard drive" and "ouput format" to "DDP 2.00"
3.) Select destination for files
4.) There should be a "Layer 0" and "Layer 1" folder now.
5.) Using "Toast", start a new "DVD-ROM (UDF)" project
6.) Drag and drop newly created "Layer 0" folder to Toast window. Name disc "Layer0"
7.) Burn DVD
8) Repeat steps 5-7 only this time use the Layer 1 folder (disc name should be "Layer1").

Normally, you would add the contents of each Layer's folder to the ROOT of the DVD-ROM, not in a "Layer x" folder.
This way, the Eclipse verification system will "see" each DVD as a DDP image file, exactly as it would with DLT tapes.
From EncoreDVD 2.0, I have - in the past - output as a folder to the HDD, and imported the folder into GPME, creating the DDP images to HDD from there. I do not know if you can do this in Encore directly to 2 folders - I will have a look at a backed up project & post back.
In all honestly, GEAR Pro ME is a superb addition to anyone working on a PC based system and is well worth the $400 it costs. There is a 30 day trial version on their website
http://www.gearsoftware.com
This would make a wonderful EncoreDVD 3 feature request though.
