DVD Studio Pro 2 Error: Device Not supported

I have a G5 with a Superdrive with DVD Studio Pro 2 installed. Everytime I try to build/format a project in DVD Studio Pro 2 it builds and formats the project, but when it comes time to burn, it reports an Error: Device Not Suported. I also have Final Cut Pro HD on this computer along with Compressor. Everything is up to date on Software updates. Has anyone else run into this and can you offer any advice?

What blank discs are you burning with?
"+" or "-"
Brand of the superdrive?
Which G5?

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!

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.

DVD Studio Pro: Unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)

I bought this Macbook Pro a year ago to the month and only now after a few hundred DVD burns using DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 I've kept up with updates and kept this machine clean. So why all of a sudden do I get this message??
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter

Could be a dirty laser or the drive is going, definately get to Apple if you can (unless you have longer Apple Care, in that case do not rush.) Also check your media, could be bad media. Do you try deleting preferences? Do ta hardware test show any issues? Lastly have you tried burning a disc image from Finder and not straight from DVD SP?
As an aside, not sure how many a few hundred DVD burns were, but in a year it may be a big number to me on one MacBook Pro(?) I usually buy inexpensive external burners and leave the internal to burn when I am on the road and otherwise leave it for installs of software.

DVD Studio Pro 2 will not burn DVDs

I have recently upgraded to Leopard. I can now build an entire project in DVD Studio Pro 2. However, when I try to build, format, or build & format a DVD the application will "quit unexpectedly."
I contacted Apple support and was told to uninstall the program and re-install it. I did that and the problem still exists.
All of my software has been updated.
I understand the software is "older" but if it were unsupported software, why can I build an entire project and only have trouble when it comes to transferring it to a DVD?
My DVD superdrive has been upgraded, and I have burned photo DVDs and CDs with the new burner without any issues.
Does anybody know what else I can do?

David,
I didn't mean to offend you with my frustration with Apple. I understand the need to upgrade operating systems. However, I don't believe that upgrading operating systems should make software obsolute. When Windows changes their operating systems, the programs you have installed on your PC will continue to work.
Leopard is many interations passed the OS that DVD SP came out and you would have the same issues in Windows with what software runs or not and usually Mac software has a pretty good lifetime. DVD SP has not been sold as stand alone for quite awhile unfortunately. Though I do have some issues with Apple from time to time, this is one of those where I cannot fault them.
Try Tiger (I am running PS3 on 10.4.11 MacBook Pro with no issues), but make sure to deauthorize your Photosshop 3 before doing anything on the sytem. As to Leopard, I am not a big fan yet, so unless you absolutely need it, you are not missing much yet.

DVD Studio Pro Error message

In dvd studio pro 4.1.2 I keep getting an error message when burning. "Media error L-EC uncorrectable error (OX11, OXO5.) I just started getting this message after years of no problems. It starts the burn and goes through Encoding but then stops less than 1 minute into Formatting/Writing Image. I have tried several different projects that I have already burned successfully in the past and I still have the same problem. I even tried burning in iDVD and have the same problem in that program.

sounds like your physical dvd burner needs replacing..
ive had similar problems and replaced the dvd unit and everything back to normal. depending on the mac model you have will depend how tricky it is, most tower units are straight forward, a few issues with some needing you to remove the plastic bit of the front of the dvd tray door so that it can come out of the g5 slot if i remember rightly. not hard though and pretty cheap. check compatibility first though to make sure the replacement dvd is going to work.

Dvd studio pro error

I try to burn a dvd in dvd studio pro i set everything up and it formats and then when its 3/4 through actually writing the dvd an error comes up: The recording device reported the hardware error: Unknown device error. (0x44, 0x8D.)
I tried updating the software to see if that helped but it still had the problem
Anyone know how to fix this?

What brand of media are you using? Has the drive successfully burned discs before? If so, has anything on your system changed since the last time it worked properly?

How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!, How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!

I recently installed os leopard on my power MAC G5 and my DVD studio pro 3 application is not working properly as it used to be. I was unable to create motion menu and build the dvd properly. Then I deleted and reinstall dvd studio pro 3, but it did not solve the problems. What should I do?

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't work in 10.5.x, possibly because of the version of Quicktime...
System Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.2
733 MHz or faster PowerPC processor (G4 minimum) and AGP graphics card
256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
20 GB available disk space
8 MB of video memory (32 MB recommended)
QuickTime 6.5
DVD drive required for installation
I think your going to need a dual boot Mac with 10.4.x on another drive or partition.

DVD Studio Pro-Burn button not working

Hi there. I have video to hand in for class in like 6 hours so i'm in a tight spot here.
I'm running FCP 5 suite on a macbook pro 2.6 ghz intel duo. I've created my DVD just fine in DVD Studio Pro, but as soon as i hit burn, a dialog box comes up immediately saying "formatting successfull" and an "ok" button. Then nothing happens. it doesnt even prompt me for a disc to burn onto.
Please help if you have any ideas.
Thank you,
Rene

Welcome to the Boards
Quick thing as a workaround to start:
Try to first build the project and see if it is building correctly (open up the folder in Apple DVD Player)
If so try writing to a disc image and burn that as here
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
Which version of DVD SP are you running? It looks like you may be running a non-Universal Binary version (if it is 4.0.x or lower it is non-Universal)
When you go to the build & format dialog is the burner showing up?
Also seems others ran into this

DVD Studio Pro 2 does not play well with Leopard.

Hi All.
Besides running Leopard on antique hardware, I'm also trying to run antique software. Has anyone built and formatted a project with DVD Studio Pro 2 running on Leopard?
Thanks.

Just noticed there are posts about this in the DVD Studio Pro group.

CSS burn error - device not supported

I am getting a "This device does not support copy generation management..." error while burning a disc that is checked for CSS. Have tried this on my macpro tower, macbook pro, and even my old G4.
By "device" do they mean the physical DVD drive/burner, and if so, anybody know a list of what burners ARE compatible?
need to get some masters out quick....

Thats correct. CSS can only be applied to DVD-VIDEO discs which are pressed at replication plants. Although DVD-R/+R do contain the folders neccesary to playback, they are no the same format as DVD-VIDEO.
Now you can output DDP images which would contain the info required by a replication plant.

How do I solve this to burn a simple dvd?! The mp4 file I want to burn is sitting in a folder on my desk top. I have made sure it's PAL. Does it need to be in the same folder as the edit project for example?!
Cheers
OnnySmith

All the comments about files that are not of the DVD-Video are normal. Those are files that DVDSP creates and are simply ignored in the burning.
The last line is the key one. It seems either your disc was bad or your recording device is having problems.
Try with a another new disc.
fwiw - certain brands were known to have issues. It's been a while since I've built a DVD but I remember always using Taiyo Yuden and had very few coasters from bad discs.

DVD studio Pro discs still will not play

Hi Folks,
no matter what settings I change in DVD studio pro they will not play on computers or any DVD player I try.
If I print a copy off with a consumer platform like toast they play it fine....
what are the settings I need toadjust to ensure they are compatible on ALL dvd players, computers....blue ray players??
Sorry for the repost, I thought my question was solved yesterday.

Hi
My thoughts about this (for what it might be worth)
• Brand of DVD matters - Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands use to work as Data-DVDs BUT NOT FOR VIDEO !
I only use Verbatim (but would love to try Tayio Yuden)
• Type of DVD used.
DVD-R plays on even older DVD-Players - DVD+R not so and especially avoid DVD+/-RW as they use to NOT WORK
• BURN SPEED - Faster ====> More Burn Errors !
I set it down to x2 or x4 at MAX - this use to be the problem when DVD doesn't play on PC ore even the Mac who burned it.
• HD-DVD - Needs dedicated Toshiba HD DVD-players to be able to be played
• Blu-Ray - Roxio Toast™ incl BD-component can do thus BUT the resulting BD-Disk or BD on DVD disk is in AVCHD
SO BD-Player must be able to play it
- Cheap Samsungs DO NOT
- PlayStation3 CAN PLAY them !

DVD Studio Pro 4 Content installation ends with errors

So I have been trying to install DVD Studio Pro 4 on my G5, but when it hits the Content portion of the install, and hits the DVD Studio Pro 3 Templates, the install stops and spits out an error message saying the installation was stopped due to errors and to try again, or something along those lines. My DVD Studio Pro installation will not complete. I tried repairing disk permissions and restarting several times. Due I have bad media? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

If you right-click (or Control-click) on the Contents package (which is an alias), and choose "Show original" in the contextual menu, you will open a new window containing all the installation packages, in separate files.
From there, you can install DVDSP 3 templates and transitions, DVDSP 4 transitions, but the DVDSP 4 templates won't install. The file doesn't seem to be corrupted, though: I used Pacifist to look at the .pkg's contents and the verification reported no error. But if I try to extract the files from within Pacifist, the extraction freezes, just like with the official installation procedure. Something is messing up the extraction, and I don't know what it is.

DVD Studio Pro will not recogise my chapter markers!!!

When I export my Quicktime movie from Final cut, I include the DVD Studio Pro markers.
However, when it gets into DVD Studio Pro, it does not recognise them at all.
I tried in vain to go back to Final Cut Pro and export the markers "as a text file" but could not find anywhere to do that. I looked at XML exporting but that did not work either!
How can you get Final Cut Pro to just export chapter markers.
Help!

You might also try right-clicking on the mpeg in the track in DVDSP and choosing "add embedded markers". I think I remember noticing that markers did not necessarily import automatically when adding an mpeg to a track, if there were any markers already in that track (with the exception of the un-deletable first one).
There is also an option in the Compressor preset, in the Encoder pane of the Inspector, under Extras, where the inclusion of markers can be checked on or off. If you are exporting to a Quicktime movie before importing to Compressor, you should be able to see the markers in the preview window by choosing to show them from the markers dropdown to the right of the Compressor preview window's scrubber bar.
Hope this helps.
