DVD Studio automatically modifying 4:3 to 16:9

I am using DVD Studio 4.0.3. I am trying to create a SD DVD for 4:3 video resolution. My video source is a 720x480 DV file and DVD Studio is automatically displaying this video as 16:9...
I've dug through all the menus I could find and changed my any settings to SD 4:3 but the on-screen display and simulation mode are still 16:9.
What am I missing and how do I change this so I can burn a 4:3 disc? Thanks!

Did you change the track setting to 16:9 somehow? How did you encode the video? Did you compress prior to brining it into DVD SP and set it to 16:9?
Are you setting simulator to display items as 16:9?

  • Modifying DVD Studio Pro Apple template's

    I have a DVD Studio Pro question regarding how to modify DVD Studio Pro Apple template's with out loosing their key atributes of menu page quantity calculation and button advance direction flow. The Apple templet I was trying to modify was "Portfolio".

    To what extent did you need to change it?
    If you are wanting to add additional items to the existing template, then this is not a problem... just add what you need. If you want to change the background image then this too is probably possible. Apply the template, look in the assets tab, open the folder called 'Templates' and look for the file you want to change, then control+click on it, select 'reveal in finder'. From now on make a backup of the original and then change it as you see fit. Revert to backup when you need to
    Not all templates are customisable, but the Portfolio one appears to be.

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."

  • Dvd studio pro aspect ratio, any help would be awesome!!!

    Hey mate, I have a quick question with finishing off my DVD.
    What are the best settings for creating a normal dvd.
    I have created a long film using my Canon DSLR, I have exported my film through compressor in 16:9 and imported it in DVD studio pro. I have used the 16:9 letterbox settings in DVD studio pro and burnt a disk, and when I play it back some DVD players make it look like it is squished horizontally so that everything looks fat, some dvd players automatically adjust and some you have to change some settings to make it look normal. What is the best way to make it look standard widescreen and not require any adjustments on the DVD players.
    Am I correct in saying that by exporting it as 16:9 in compressor it makes it widescreen and then by selecting 16:9 in DVD studio pro it doubles the letterbox format and then looks squished, hence I should select 4:3 in DVD studio pro? Not sure here.
    I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me, my film is stuck as a result of this problem. PLEASE help me.
    Cheers mate,

    Hi Jez,
    You should post this to the Final Cut Studio board since it doesn't involve Final Cut Server.

  • Export markers from Final Cut Pro X to DVD Studio Pro

    Hello,
    After finding out how to create chapters via markers in Final Cut Pro we wonder how to export these markers to DVD Studio Pro without having to create ourselves a .txt file and writing the names and the times of the markers in it to export it to DVD Studio Pro. Isn't there a way to make this happen automatically?
    Unfortunately the new version of Final Cut Pro doesn't have an export to Quick Time Player and this is why this kind of solution falls out and we really need to create the markers first in Final Cut Pro and not directly in DVD Studio.
    Is there a solution?
    Thank you.

    At present, you cannot add chapter markers in FCP X.
    If you send the project to Compressor, you can add chapter markers there, or you can add them in DVD SP.
    You can add the chapter markers in Compressor or DVD SP manually, or if you create a text file listing the exact timecode positions (from FCP X storyline) where you want the chapter markers to be (each on a new line) Compressor (or DVD SP) will automatically insert the markers when you point it to the text file.

  • Is there is a way to export the themes from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro?

    OK...so here's what I'm trying to find out: is there is a way to export the themes from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro? Or can I build the project in DVDSTPRO and import it to iDVD to build and burn?
    I've read several threads here and haven't come across my specific question. If I missed it, please copy me a link. Otherwise, I'd like to use the templates/themes in iDVD with my FCP project.
    I was thinking about importing the project from FCP to iDVD. Then, I thought about the markers etc....
    So, if anyone had an idea, tip or link, I'm all for it!
    Thanks!

    Importing iDVD Projects and Themes
    DVD Studio Pro 4 can import projects from iDVD 3 and iDVD 4. You can import an iDVD theme by using the theme in a project within iDVD and importing the project into DVD Studio Pro. When creating the project within iDVD, you do not need to use the final assets or make a complete project.
    Note: DVD Studio Pro will not import projects from iDVD 1, iDVD 2, and iDVD 5. In general, iDVD needs to be installed on the same system as DVD Studio Pro. An exception is if you import an iDVD 4 archive project.
    To import an iDVD project or archived project into DVD Studio Pro:
    1 Do one of the following:
    • Choose File > Open.
    • Press Command-O.
    2 Locate and select the iDVD project or iDVD 4 archive project in the Open dialog, then click Open.
    DVD Studio Pro imports the iDVD project.
    About the iDVD Project Import
    When DVD Studio Pro imports an iDVD 3 or iDVD 4 project or iDVD 4 archive project, it has standard locations it looks for to find the assets and themes used in the project. This is especially important if the project uses custom themes.
    The standard locations that DVD Studio Pro uses are (in this order):
    • iDVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
    • [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
    • [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
    • /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
    configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as having a server networked into your computer.)
    • iDVD application bundle: This is the iDVD application file that contains the default theme elements.
    Note: When you create an archive project in iDVD 4, you can choose to include the themes and encoded files. For the best portability, you should include both options. This results in a larger archive file, but ensures you can take the file to any DVD Studio Pro system and import it without missing assets. If you do not choose to include the themes and encoded files in the archive file, those assets must be available in one of the standard locations.
    If your project will have automatically-created chapter index (scene selection) menus based on markers embedded in the video, it can be easier to create these within iDVD prior to importing the project into DVD Studio Pro. This ensures the chapter index menus use the selected theme’s background and include arrow buttons to navigate between the menus.
    Important: To ensure all iDVD menu elements import correctly into DVD Studio Pro, you must navigate to each chapter index menu within iDVD before saving the project. This is also true for any menus you add to your iDVD project by clicking the Folder button.
    Issues With Importing iDVD Projects
    There are some issues to be aware of when you import iDVD projects:
    • If you import an iDVD project with DVD-ROM content, DVD Studio Pro does not update the settings in the Disc Inspector’s General tab to reflect the DVD-ROM content. You must manually select the DVD-ROM layout and choose the folder to include.
    • When you create a slideshow in iDVD, you can add arrow buttons to each still to provide viewers with an additional method of jumping to the previous and next stills. These arrow buttons are not imported when you import an iDVD project into DVD Studio Pro. The viewer must use the Previous and Next buttons on the DVD player’s remote control to jump between stills.
    • The button highlights used in iDVD may look different when imported into DVD Studio Pro. In most cases, the text in the buttons is set to be included in the highlight. Additionally, buttons that use an underline in iDVD will not have an underline when imported into DVD Studio Pro.
    • When you import an iDVD project, you may find that the button that is highlighted by default on some menus changes. During the project import, DVD Studio Pro numbers the buttons on each menu and highlights button 1 by default. You can assign any button on a menu to be the default button in the Menu tab in the Menu Inspector.
    • If you import an iDVD project that contains a drop zone configured as a slideshow and has multiple slides assigned to it, DVD Studio Pro only shows the slideshow’s first slide in the drop zone.

  • Conversion settings from fcp to dvd studio pro?

    i have a seven minute short subject that i need to burn to dvd using dvd studio pro. before i export from fcp, wanted to double check my fcp export settings with anyone who's been there before.
    here's my choices: export with quicktime conversion, under standard video compression settings choose none for compression, select best quality and choose millions of colors. also no compression for audio.
    i've got to burn six of these suckers for festival screeners and require the best possible quality so i'd appreciate someone letting me know if i'm heading the wrong direction. btw... the dvd burn on a file this size without a menu seems pretty straightforward, but if there's a pitfall i'm not seeing please let me know that as well.
    muchas gracias.

    Dear Wolfman51
    From my personal experience, I find it's much more efficient to export using QUICKTIME MOVIE, a dropdown menu will ask you these questions: SETTING, current settings; INCLUDE, audio and video; MARKERS (up to you)
    uncheck MAKE MOVIE SELF-CONTAINED.
    save it where you can find it. It will do a quick export. Open COMPRESSION, drag this file into the COMPRESSION FOLDER, check your settings (MPEG2) and let compressor compress.
    Then drag this MPEG2 into your DVDSP.
    You can skip using compressor, and drag the uncompressed QTIME straight to DVDSP, it will automatically compress. I found DVDSP doesn't compress it cleanly, therefore chose compressor to compress my movies before importing them into DVDSP.
    I hope this helps, I look forward to reading more postings, perhaps I'm going thru too many steps.

  • FCP Pro Res Super 16mm -- Compressor -- DVD Studio Pro (Nightmare Workflow Critique)

    Hello,
    I figured I post here rather than the DVD Studio Pro forum; I've posted on Creative Cow as well but haven't gotten any responses yet.
    Before I mention my problem, I'd like to mention that I've tried several types of compression methods and bitrates and unfortunately, my disk still freezes in my player, generally around the same area.
    (I have two, minute long clips with Smoothcam there).
    I'll try to be as specific about my work-flow as I can and I've posted the photos of my FCP and Compressor settings below.
    30 Minutes. Super 16mm.
    2K DPX Scans -- > Graded In Color --> Pro Res 4444 23.976 --> Sent To Compressor --> Mpeg 2 + AC3 --> Build & Format With DVD Studio Pro
    I set blue compression markers at the start of each Smoothcam clip.
    I've recompressed my footage without Smoothcam as well - with the same end result.
    I've sent my timeline to Compressor and used both the 5.5-7 VBR setting and the 6.5 CBR settings (with everything under Frame Controls set to the highest quality).
    (I've also used the 6.2-7.7 built in settings with the ninety-minute high quality preset).
    I am using Sony DVD-R disks. 16X/1X. When I play them in my PS3, the film freezes at different points in the first two-three minutes - then skips ahead exactly to the same point in my film - about halfway.
    I've set Chapter markers and it skips to the halfway one; from there it plays fine.
    1. I wanted to ask if I should maybe export my entire sequence first through FCP (an .mov file) and try Compressing that?
    (I've done this and the result is still the same)
    2. Should I set it to Pro Res 422 HQ first?
    (I've done this and the result is still the same)
    3. Perhaps I should just try to Compressor with the 90Min-HQ setting without changing anything?
    (I've done this and the result is still the same)
    4. Should I remove the Smoothcam?
    I'm currently compressing the entire sequence void of all Smoothcam.
    When I bring the files into DVD Studio Pro, I see under preferences that Studio Pro also has VBR settings. Do those have any effect on my DVD encode? There is no CBR there - only VBR set from 5.5-7.
    5. Is there anything I'm doing wrong with regards to my workflow? There are several options that may be causing this; I'm not sure if its the progressive footage to interlaced standard definition disk, or modifying field dominance, gop structure, etc.
    Any help would be greatly (that's greatly) appreciated.
    Thanks!
    -Boris

    My first impression is you're trying to make this too hard...
    You have a high quality timeline which is downconverted to 1080, no problem. Once rendered, SmoothCam
    should not represent a problem. If anything, SmoothCam will reduce the sudden movement that can cause problems. Any scenes where you have a high rate of change per frame (like in an explosion or a background of leaves flapping in the wind) should be marked with compression markers.
    Export as a QT movie using sequence settings (include markers for DVDSP) so you have a completed source file for compression. I'm not aware of anything that will improve the quality beyond what is in the timeline, so current sequence settings are fine. Test this for playback issues.
    If you are having playback problems with the sequence after export and compression, the most probable cause is excessively high bandwidth requirements. Try using the DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes preset. It generally produces a very good quality product. Any attempt to increase the quality will likely increase the bandwidth requirements that are the probable cause of the skipping.
    While Sony is a big name, their DVD substrate is only mediocre. If you think the substrate is a problem, switch to Verbatim or JVC/Taiyo-Yuden.
    If you are dissatisfied with the quality of the Compressor output, look into the Cinema Craft encoding products.
    Hope this helps.

    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.

  • Using Qmaster with DVD Studio Pro OR Qmaster requires FCP on all machines?

    Greetings everyone,
    After a few days of tinkering I've finally managed to set up a managed cluster. However, I have a problem (surprise, surprise). When I submit a job to the cluster, Final Cut Pro suddenly opens up on all of the computers being used. I have Final Cut Studio 2 under an academic license, and all copies report that there is another copy running with the same serial number and that they must shut down. They render a few frames before suddenly quitting the job, regardless of whether I leave the message up or OK it away. I've done some reading from this thread which makes it sound like all systems must have a copy of FCP installed, or to use a slightly different method:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=375923&tstart=195
    It's a bit upsetting as I'd originally read that systems could aid in rendering with just QMaster installed, and that they didn't need FCP installed. Hence, having FCP open up was unexpected, and I get the feeling that uninstalling FCP from those systems wouldn't help me.
    But let me explain what I do normally, and perhaps some of you can guide me.
    My work has me converting hundreds of tapes to DVD. Without QMaster, I would import the videos in Final Cut Pro, set chapter markers and in and out points, and then export the video (with barely any processing - an export typically takes 4 minutes on a dual 800 Mhz G4). I'd then import it to DVD Studio Pro, handle the menus, and then do a build and format. That process would take ~2-3 hours per DVD, and that is the part that I'd like to optimize.
    The setup is such that I have one dual G5 wired to our hard drives (all Firewire 800), and then four other systems that connect to the G5 to access the HDs through a gigabit network switch. This has worked quite nicely in that it allows systems that only have Firewire 400 to work at Firewire 800 speeds regardless.
    I'd originally thought that DVD Studio Pro 4 would automatically be able to process jobs through Qmaster, but I couldn't find a setting for it and it didn't seem to do it on its own. Instead, I was planning to redo my work flow such that the encoding of the video (the most time-consuming part of DVD Studio Pro's build procedure) would be done in Final Cut Pro. Or more specifically, it would go through Compressor. However, as I mentioned above, attempting to work this way causes Final Cut Pro to open up on all nodes within the cluster. As they all have the same serial number, they become unhappy under such conditions. I can uninstall them from the systems as I only ever use one copy at a time anyway, but as I mentioned from the link above, it seems that rendering through FCP -> Compressor will require FCP to be installed on all participating systems.
    Does anyone have any advice for what to do? Is there a way to get around having FCP activate on all participating systems, or is there a way to do it directly through DVD Studio Pro (ideally in a manner that wouldn't cause DVD Studio Pro to activate on all participating systems)?
    Any advice is much appreciated. The distributed encoding is really the only reason why we upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2, so I'm going to feel rather foolish if this doesn't work out.

    A QCluster network isn't designed to distribute Rendering from FCP, rather it's designed to distribute encoding tasks.
    As mentioned in that thread you linked to, the best workflow I can think of in your situation is to export Quicktime reference movies from FCP, then bring those reference files into Compressor for distribution to the QCluster for the transcode to MPEG 2 for DVD. There is a wealth of good information in that thread.
    In short, if you attempt to use a Cluster to export from FCP, then all of your nodes will need to have separate licenses of FCP. But if you use the reference movie method, FCP is not required for the encoding.
    One question for clarification with your workflow, are you logging & capturing these clips then sending them directly to DVD? or are you editing them in a timeline prior to export to DVD?
    If you're just using FCP as your Log & Capture tool, then you can skip the reference movie step and just grab the captured clips in your Capture Scratch folder and send those directly to Compressor.

  • How to manage multiple menus in dvd studio

    Hi.
    Im trying to do 2 things in dvd studio pro 4 that i cant figure out. Any help will be appreciated.
    1. If you have multiple menus, and you want them all to link up to a main menu page when you hit
    the menu button on the remote, how do you do that? How do you have each page return to the main menu page when the button is hit?
    2. If I have a button that includes a video that loops on a second menu page, I want the page to return to the main manu page when the video in the button finishes.. say for example, after 1 minute I want the 2nd page to automatically return to the main menu page,
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    Quick way, highlight the disc icon for the project in the outline view then set the Jumps for Menu (and Title) in inspector. Other ways of doing this but this should do what you want

    Set the duration of the menu to 1 minute then set the At End action in inspector to timeout and set to the menu you want to go to.

  • DVD studio pro track doesn't accept HD video asset??

    Hello,
    I am ready to burn my project on a DVD but it doesn't seem to accept HD resolution in DVD studio pro?
    I exported my project into a quicktime movie in FCP using Apple ProRes 422, aspect ratio HD(960x720).
    When I drag the imported quicktime movie onto the track in DVD studio pro, it automatically corrects the resolution setting of the track to 720x480 and 1280x720 option turns not selectable.
    Why does this happen and how could I set the track in DVD studio pro to burn the disc without changing the aspect ratio and quality of the video??
    please help!
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Javi,
    thanks for your message.
    I was reading the discussion here and it looks like this explains the same question:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/4987864#4987864
    meanwhile i have exported the project using compressor with settings for DVD. this time DVD studio pro seems to import the video fine and is able to burn.
    It is working but I hope i am making the right action for the best quality result. please let me know if you have any thoughts on this.
    many thanks!

  • DVD studio pro not playing entire video

    When I use the simulator it only plays a portion of the video, and when I burn it to a DVD it stops at the same point. But both the audio and mpeg2 in the track play all the way through though. What am I doing wrong?

    deadbeatpanda wrote:
    So if the project is corrupt, does that mean I just have to re export my project in FCP? I used quicktime conversion and I read that it isn't recommended for exporting to be burned to DVD. I orginally tried to use compressor to get it to mpeg2 for DVD studio and what not so I compressed it again and the same thing happened. I also tried to use the share option in FCP with the DVD option but it exported for over 10 hours and was stuck at 5 minutes remaining for about the last 3 hours so I just cancelled it. This is the first time I have ever had to burn to DVD so sorry for being such a noob. And I have no menu, the DVD just needs to play automatically.
    No, the clips do not automatically need to be re-exported. The issue with QuickTime is primarily a quality issue.
    As Michael mentions above, the preferred workflow is "File:  Export:  Quicktime movie (NOT quicktime conversion) with current settings.  Take this file into compressor and apply the appropriate dvd preset."
    I like to think of the export as a "master" file that I use as a basis for transcoding.
    I have little knowledge of the newer output options like Sharing. My experience has been that the things done to "simplify" the work usually compromise quality and frequently don't work well.

  • DVD Studio Pro 2 Won't let me burn DVDs

    I've finished my project and it looks good. I even ran it through the simulator and everything checks out. However, when I go to burn it to DVD (4.7 GB), I get a dialog box that says that I need to insert a DVD, even though one is already in. Then I get another dialog box that tells me that the disc could not be burned because the drive could not be located...? Each time I attempt to burn the DVD, the disc gets automatically ejected by my computer when these dialog boxes pop up
    How do I locate a drive that I can burn the disc in? What's the process for this? Is there another step that I must take before I can get to this process. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 2 and I have a mac mini with a superdrive. Please walk me through the process step-by-step. Thanks.

    Which blank brand media are you using?
    Also is it -R or +R?

  • Keep chapter markers from fcp 7 to dvd studio 4

    might've posted this before...
    ive used iDVD for a while and know the preference for the chapter markers from FCP 7 to iDVD.  finally using Studio pro trying to firgure out about automatic chapter markers.  I edited it in FCP X and exported it to make the chapters in FCP 7
    I have a few different format files
    from FCP 7
    8.03 gig DVD studio chapter marked
        8.03 gig compression marked
    then in compression
    best quality 90 min DVD
    A dolby Digital Pro 2 says "the destiation does not have read/write access"
    or the mpeg 2     6.2mbps 2 pass      """"""
    then I tried using individual clips from fcp 7 in/out export feature, but that seems to to be to large
    how should i fix this annoying issue

    I'm talking about Compressor.
    Compressor wants a destination to which to send an output file. Unless otherwise specifiedm the default destination is Source. That means it will be written to wherever (drive>folders path) the source file was stored.
