DVD studio error-Formatting was not successfuld

Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed. Please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.
How do i change marker locations? I have a DVD that is 4.9Gb and have a dual layer disc so disc capacity shouldn't be the issue here...
Thoughts anyone?

What is happening is that a little over one half of the DVD has to be onn Layer 0 and the rest on Layer 1 - and there has to be a marker right around the area when that situation occurs. Take a look here:

What you need to do is drop a chapter marker in around the half way point (you may want to put a couple in) to make sure - as an aside to you use AC3 audio? If not, then use AC3 audio and you could mae it on a DVD-5

    It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
    Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

  • Apple tv error message "the selected video could not be played.  the format was not recognized"

    my apple tv has started displaying error message "the selected video could not be played.  the format was not recognized" on all my movies.  i have never had a problem with it before.  please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It seems that your Apple TV may be unable to see your movies, where are your movies kept, have you recently moved them, have you done anything else that might be related.

  • Formatting was not successful. A suitable marker could not be found in the required layer break range

    When burning to DVD =R DL

    Formatting finished.
    Formatting was not successful. A suitable marker could not be found in the required layer break range. See the DVD Studio Pro User's Manual for more information.

    Do you understand about layer breaks?  Check the manual on this.  Also do some googling.  I went thru **** with this a few months back being unable to set a layer break.  Finally realized that my dvdsp project had gotten corrupted.  Had to rebuild it and then it worked. 

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • DvD Studio Pro recently updated, not working properly

    Sometime it seems it just doesn't pay to update software.
    I Recently updated my OS to Tiger and along with it I updated to the latest FCP and DVD Studio pro.
    Now in DVD Studio Pro it will not properly read existing projects and when I build a project from scratch it "unexpectedly quits" just when I get going.
    Any one else have this problem?

    I went thru this recently, after weeks of calling Applecare, trying everything, the solution finally was to completely de-Install DVD Studio (detailed instructions are on Apple support somewheres) and Final Cut (plus all the smaller apps) BOTH. Then re-install everything, appartently there is some shared libraries or something that get corrupt, Applecare was useless btw, (except to point me towards the de-installation docs)... I know it sounds like alot of hassle, but it worked for me! Good Luck!

    It sounds like you are trying to burn a dual layer disc. Do you need a dual layer disc? (i.e., do you have more than 4.3 GB of material?) If you do then there is a tutorial at;

  • DVD studio pro formatting

    I'm trying to output to a dual layer DVD, and when I change all the disk capacity, build and burn, I get the following format failed message:
    Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed. Please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.
    What does this mean? What setting do I need to change?

    You need to have a proper layer break (marker)
    Take a look here, I outline it more and also include some links for more details and a .mov which shows what to do

  • "The selected video could not be played. The format was not recognized."

    I am having problems with "The selected video could not be played. The format was not recognized." It happens when I try to watch TV show/Movie previews.
    I can usually watch a few previews before the error comes up. Once the error comes up, sometimes I cannot watch the previews that I was able to watch just minutes ago. Other times, it seems to be dependent on the preview - some previews work fine and others don't work at all.
    Fortunately, I can still watch all purchased content.
    Apple TV is at 2.4. I've tried de/reauthorizing iTunes and logging out/in via Apple TV.
    Can anyone offer help? Anyone have the same issue?

    I just purchased a music video from iTunes onto my MacBook Pro and downloaded it to my apple tv and had the same problem.
    I also rented two movies on my MacBook Pro while traveling in Spain, when I got home and sync'd with apple tv it would not play on apple tv only the laptop. Got not authorized error... I then rent a movie directly from apple tv and that does play.
    This is painful and I just bought a second apple tv unit... regretting it so far!

  • The selected video can not be played - The format was not recognized

    Is anyone getting the following error on home vids or Handbrake vids?
    The Selected Video cannot be played. The format was not recognized.
    If I actually sync the videos and send them over to the Apple TV they will play, but if I try to stream vids from my iTunes library, that is the error I get.

    Are your vids on an external HD that Itunes points to or local to your computer? I would say unplug your ATV and power cycle all your components. All "My Movies" are encoded via HB and are playing fine since the firmware upgrade, my issues seem to be how cacheing is now being handled under the "Movies" category.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 will not open after installing Leopard

    I had trouble opening my film project in FCP studio 2 but resolved the problem by trashing the preferences. This did not help other programs like DVD studio pro which will not open at all or crashes as soon as it is open. It also gives me strange messages while it tries to open like" Media-application quit unexpectedly." Would re-installing help? I would have to begin with FCP studio pro and then update all the programs again. Is there an easier way to solve this problem? (Leopard is causing other programs to quit unexpectedly but I don't get messages that some part of the application has quit).

    So far it seems the advice when going to Leopard is to due a total clean install of Leopard on a clean drive before installing the applications.
