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?

  • DVD STUDIO PRO WON'T LET ME BURN

    HI,
      I'm trying to get help with this problem.  It seems that the cash in DVD SP is filled up.  It's not allowing me to burn any DVD's.  It's telling me there's no room.  But I don't know how to empty the files.  i went into my HD's and emptied everything I could, old projects, but it's not freeing up any space.  What should I do?
    I would appreciate someone getting back to me.
    Thanks so much.
    Andy

    Open DVDSP and go to the Preferences, Destinations tab. This will give you the path to your cache. I think the default is in the User Libeary>Caches>DVD Studio Pro
    Don't be amazed if this doesn't do anything for you...  in the 9-10 years I've been using DVDSP I've never seen this message and I've never emptied the cache.
    This sounds to me like the error message we used to get when one of the drives in the system is very close to full. Even if it was not in use it would force the error unless you dismounted it.
    If (when?) the error comes back, get a screen shot of it and post it here, please.
    hope this helps

  • DVD STudio Pro won't let me delete stills. has brought in ALL my stills

    Hi all. In need: DVD Studio Pro won't let me delete STILLS from palette. The minus sign is greyed out even with control-click and shortcut menu. As a result, the program goes through ALL my photos when looking for a cover for my dvd. Makes it impossible to put pix on cover of DVD (when played).
    I should be able to DELETE these folders with 1000s of photos! The manual says so but the minus sign still stays greyed.
    Also, not sure how it imported all of these in first place? i am currently keeping photos in i-photo, so ....?
    Do I need to wipe out the dvd-studio pro and replace. [Of course I am in Rome and don't have that disc!]
    HELP if possible is much appreciated.
    best,

  • Installed Snow Leopard, now DVD Studio Pro won't build or burn a DVD

    Hi,
    I eagerly upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard, but since installation when I go to burn a DVD with DVD Studio Pro, immediately it gives me this error message:
    Compiler File Error
    Build Cancelled.
    I am using Final Cut Studio 2 with DVDSP v 4.2.1
    Advice? Thanks.

  • DVD Studio Pro won't burn disk

    I have a DVD Studio Pro file that used to burn without a problem, but now it won't at all. I found all of the files necessary, but when I click the burn button, I get a warning:
    The Build Location folder contains a VIDEO_TS folder(standard DVD content).  You must remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a HD DVD project.
    I wouldn't know where to find this Build folder anyway. I am not sure what to do at this point.
    Can anyone shed some light?
    I have a 2010 2.66 GHz Macbook Pro Core i7
    Thanks!

    Are you trying to build an HD DVD rather than a standard defintion DVD? I've never tried to build an HD DVD... does that format also use the VIDEO_TS structure?
    A simple alternative to finding and removing the troublesome VIDEO_TS folder is to select a new location for the build -- an empty folder on your desktop, in your documents folder, wherever.
    Or, if the contents and/or design of the disc hasn't changed since the last time you built it, find the current VIDEO_TS folder and use that to burn your disc rather than building it anew.

  • Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Thanks.  Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc.  This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either.  I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn.  Any ideas are appreciated.

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or comparable program?

    DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or a comparable software available? Or are there some internal fixes that I have not found.  Preferences that will allow a clean product to be delivered?

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  I first import all my assets, build my DVD, which may include one or more menus, pictures, music, etc. I use the simulator to test all aspects of video before burning.  Making sure that the end jump works, if I add chapters, going to each chapter making sure buttons and end jumps for the chapters work.  When I am satisfied I then go to burn/format function and delete or reuse any folders that the computer advises.  The resolution is SD, display mode 16.9, Lossless linking, red laser, single, one side 12 cm.  Thats about it.  Haven't had a problem in the past just wondering what I could be doing wrong now. I am workingo on an imac, MAC OS X, 10.7.4, 2.93 GHz, Intel Core 17, Memory 8GB, 133mHz,DDR3.
    Response I get is, unknown disc, please check disc again."

  • Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer?

    Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer? I tried everything, and I watched so many tutorials after not succeeding. I read in another forum that it is common. Please help. I have already used about 20 discs trying to figure out what is wrong.

  • DVD Studio Pro won't burn - HELP please

    I have DVD Studio Pro 4.0 and I've exported a sequence from FCE 4.0. I've set my preferences (HD), imported the sequence (or asset) and then I selected burn - "Format Successful" comes up and nothing else happens. Am I doing something wrong? I know it works because I've done it before.

  • DVD Studio Pro: is it possible to burn unusual resolution video on DVD?

    Hello All,
    FCP 0.6,
    DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1
    Compressor 3.0.5
    I have a short that has a resolution 1920 x 650 px (it is a split screen video). I am trying to burn it to DVD by using DVD Studio Pro. I tried to export the film from FCP by using Compressor. I customized the DVD Best quality: 90 min setting to "letterbox the area of source" in "Geometry" tab, but the result looks like the resolution is not preserved but conformed to the DVD and the image looks squished. I know I have long trip on this subject but I would love to learn if this is at all possible.
    I know of software called: Popcorn from Roxio that supposedly burns anything into DVD. I dont know if I should bother installing and trying..?
    Should I experiment with Anamorphic DVD (does a standard DVD player read those)?
    Please help and thank you,
    Izabela

    The short answer is, unfortunately, no.  The DVD standard is 720x480, either 4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic.  If you do the math, you'll note you'll be looking at a LOT of black screen as you interpolate the 1920 down to 720, even if it's anamorphic.

  • DVD Studio Pro Won't Launch

    When I try to launch DVD Studio Pro 4.02, I get a series of error messages saying that it can't find specific files. These files are from an old project that I deleted, so they no longer exist. The real problem is that it eventually freezes and doesn't open. I reinstalled from the disks, reinstalled the upgrades, tried deleting every project file and all files in the DVD Studio Pro folders and I still get the error messages and the program freeze. Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved the problem. I had to clear out all files from the "Movies" folder. Still a bit annoying that the program won't launch without having all of the files.

  • Dvd Studio Pro on formats and wont burn.

    I created a menu on dvd studio pro and when I try to burn it, it only goes through the process of Formatting and it finishes. I cant play it on any dvd player, I'm pretty sure thats because its only formatted and not burnt. I cant seem to get it to burn. Any suggestions?

    Wikileak:
    It works even though it doesn't work.
    While the display of colors in the pop-up menu is broken under Mac OS X 10.9, the palette is still there and works for setting colors.  Choosing the first blank spot in the Color pop-up menu sets that first color in the palette, choosing the second blank spot on the Color pop-up menu sets the second color in the in the palette, etc.  Of course, this was sooooo much easier when the Color pop-up menu displayed color swatches as expected.
    If you click the "Edit Palette" button at the bottom, the colors in the Edit Palette dialog box from left to right correspond to the Color pop-up menu from top to bottom.  So, the color in row one, column one of the Edit Palette dialog will be the first blank in the Color pop-up list.  The color in the row one, column two will be the second color in the pop-up list and so forth.
    I set the colors for a title in the Edit Palette and take a screen shot, then reference that while using the Color pop-up menu.
    If your machine will boot 10.7.5, an alternative is to create a startup volume just for setting the colors and switch to 10.9.5 for finishing the disc.

  • DVD Studio pro won't open

    Just upgraded to Leopard and my DVD Studio Pro 3 and compressor won't open. It starts to open and then shuts down. I have repaired permissions, deleted preferences, and re-installed the programs. Everything else at the moment seems to run fine. Any suggestions?

    You're not alone. Last week my DVD Studio Pro, which I use all the time, worked perfectly. Then over the weekend I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.5.1 and I can't load it at all. I get the logo box, then it seems like it just hangs. This happens no matter how I try to open a file or launch the program.
    The only other program I know I'm having problems with is iDVD, which I turned to in desperation after DVDSP stopped working. Unfortunately, iDVD crashes every time I launch it. I'm an editor, not a computer programmer, so I'm afraid I'm in real trouble here.
    I wish I hadn't upgraded. Everything was great until I went to Leopard. This is the first major problem I've had since I switched from PCs to the Mac platform 5 years ago. Hopefully a fix will be as easy as the rest of my Apple experience has been, but I'm extremely frustrated and desperate right now. PLEASE HELP!
