Importing Compressed Video into DVD studio Pro: PROBLEM WITH SYNC

Hello,
This post regards software from Final Cut Studio 3
So, I have made a 2 minute clip in FCP7, exported it, compressed it using compressor, and then opened up dvd studio in order to burn it.
I have made sure the lengths of the audio and video were equal in FCP.
The problem is that when i drag the M2v and AC3 files into the DVD studio pro timeline, The audio is slightly longer than the video track.
I am creating a loop and want to duplicate the tracks within DVD studio to make use of the full dvd....so after i have added the files into the timeline a few times, there is a noticable lag, due to the discrepency between the length of audio and the length of the video.
I have even tried to change the length, under 'duration'in the track menu, but this makes no difference.
any help much appreciated.
THanks, Bradley

The looped clip in question is APPROXIMATELY 2 minutes. Infact, the DVDs are for an art installation, with numerous clips all Approx 2 minutes long, set to loop using dvd studio to around 20 minutes. (snip) However the loop is fine tuned so cutting frames to allow for the different frame rates of Ac3 and M2v is not an option.
So far I have only made a test batch, next time to avoid these problems I will Loop the files within FCP7 before exporting and compressing to avoid frame rate discrepancies. good idea??
I'm not surprised to hear that the clips are for an Art installation. I once helped my partner with multiple looped VHSs for a Degree Show & believe me DVDs make life a whole lot easier!
In conclusion I would recommend that you do a separate sound & vision edit, so to speak. Once you have finished your vision edit, lay down the single (compressed) vision clip on a track in DVD SP. Loop it to taste, and make a pencil note of the number of loops. Go back to FCP & duplicate your original final edit (ie the 'lock down') & loop the sound to match. Play out just the complete soundtrack at the new ~20 minutes and encode the resulting mix to AC3. Add it into DVD SP3. Voila! Really this is no different from making a movie; when the sound is going to be worked on by a whole different set of people from the pictures and both added together when complete.
... is there an alternative sound format to export in that is compatible with dvd studio pro that will sync perfectly in the sequence?
Of course uncompressed .aiffs don't suffer from the frame-based problem and are compatible with DVD SP. However using uncompressed sound is not recommended as this can lead to playback problems - especially with DVD-Rs - because of the high bit-rate.
BTW where is the show? Regards, Stedman.

Output Audio from DVD Studio Pro works on some DVD's but not others

Hello All,
Would really appreciate any help here.
My project in final cut pro 6 has audio and it plays fine on the computer as well as the dvd studio pro simulator. I send the final cut pro file to compressor and then to dvdsp to burn. Everything works fine except when I play it in some dvd players I get no sound. I have another dvd player that plays everything with no problem. This is a big problem as I can't determine what kind of player a client has.
Is there something I need to fix in final cut pro, compressor or dvdsp?
Thanks a bunch in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Please help. Thanks

Hi
What audio format did you use: AIFF or AC3?

Switch off screen while DVD Studio Pro works

I want to encode a DVD overnight with my iMac G5 but somehow DVD Studio Pro seems to override the energy settings.
Even though the display is set to turn off after 1 minute it doen't... ever...
The great shortcut I have found in this forum Option Apple Eject puts the whole computer in sleep, not just the screen. At least my DVD encoding was stuck at 11% for the hour I tried this.
The script I have found in this forum which sets energy save to 1 minute does not help either, as energy save does not work with DVD Studio Pro...
How can I solve this problem.
Thanks
Whodany

a partial fix, however, is to set the program to background encode, then i think you could just leave the program idling overnight with no problems with the power saving, and it should have encoded enouth overnight to make burning nice and quick in the morning

Video won't play in DVD Studio Pro, works in QT

I cannot get a m2v file to work in DVD studio pro. I compressed to Best Quality 120 min from FCP and opened up the DVD studio file and inserted both the m2v and ac3 files from Compression when it was finished. I can hear the audio but the video is just black. The video plays in the finder and in Quicktime Pro. I saved these two compression files over previous files because I was just updating the video and wanted to use the same DVD studio pro file I had already designed. I am re-compressing as I type this but if it still doesn't work I am at a loss of what to do!

Does the m2v asset preview in DVDSP? If it does you may need to rebuild the track that it's in.

DVD Studio Pro - Problem with video size

Hello all,
I'm having a problem with dvd studio pro.
I have a project that I edited in FCP, then compressed to the default DVD setting in compresser, then imported the video as an asset in DVD studio pro. I'm trying to create a SD dvd, and whenever I simulate the dvd, the video plays with some of the left side cropped out. I have text that is cut off because of it. This has never happened before, and I have checked again and again to make sure its all set on SD. I'm pretty new to fcp studio, i'm teaching myself as I go and this is driving me crazy. I have made a bunch of dvd's prior, and this has never happened, so I have no idea what I did to mess things up.
For all I know, the problem may not even have to do with dvd studio, it may be in compresser. I have also played around with that, to no avail.
Thanks for the help!
Thomas

Thanks Javabob,
That is a way good idea. While trying your suggestion i stumbled upon the problem, I have no idea why i never noticed this before. When i got to the step of importing it as an asset into dvd studio, i clicked on the video track and the inspector box for it showed up, then i noticed it had a display mode drop down menu set on '16:9' pan-scan. I then changed it to 16:9 letter-box and the simulation video fits correctly onto the screen. I don't really understand the reason why pan-scan blew it up like that, but it is fixed now. I still don't recall ever having to do this before, but oh well. I will pay attention to the inspector window for the videos more carefully from now on.
Thanks for the help Javabob!

I have a G5 Power Mac with dual 1.8 processors. I recently upgraded the software fro 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to get an iPad 2. Now my Adobe Photoshop 7 won't work any longer. All the newer Phtoshop versions only work with Intell processors. Does anyone

..know of an older Photoshop version that will work with my processors and system 10.5.8?
Thanks,
Don

I believe I had this issue with PS7 when I first upgraded from OS 9 to OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
Couldn't get PS 7 to launch at all.
I ended up having to update all of my Adobe apps to the CS edition to be sure every Adobe app functioned without a hitch.
I am not sure where you'll find older versions of Adobe software, though.
You could try and contact Adobe direct to see if they have any older versions on disc left in stock or not.
Short or that I really do not know.
PS CS 4 was the last universal version that works with PPC Macs.
Pixelmator used to be available for 10.5 Leopard, but it's no longer available for PPC Macs, either.
http://www.pixelmator.com/
Could contact them to see if they have the older version still available on disc or as a download.
This is a pay app, also.
Another pay app that may work for you is Graphic Converter.
http://www.lemkesoft.com/
The other options are the ones already mentioned in the previous reply.
Other than Pixelmator, the other offerings are quite limited compared to PS.
Here's the link to Seashore.
http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/About.html
A free open source Unix replacement for PS is The Gimp
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
You need to install X11 in order to use this app.
If you installed 10.5, you'll need to check your Applications folder to see if X11 was installed by default.
If not you'll need to go back to your OS X 10.5 install discs and do a custom install and just install X11 from disc.
This will just add the additional program and extensions and will not erase your installation of OS X 10.5.

DVD Studio Pro 4 on Intel Core Duo works (but is unsupported)

Hi all,
Various threads have touched the subject, and I guess all Intel Mac owners are waiting for the Final Cut Studio universal binary version.
Just wanted to share this: I installed DVDSP version 4.0.2 on my new Intel iMac 20" 2gHz, and it works like it should. No problems what so ever.
Speed? Well I used to have a G4 iMac so obviously it's blazing fast now

Wow that was quick
Yes it does, but I can't tell (of course). I created two DVDs, pretty simple work from m2V/AC3 source files except an intro clip which was DV. Encoded nicely. Created several menus from custom templates (3rd party), everything works like it used to.
The build and format went very fast compared to my old setup.

What makes DVD Studio Pro work faster? and batching builds?

Hi folks,
I've been using SP for years and finally have to ask - what makes it do the following faster:
- importing m2v files
- creating builds (muxing tracks etc...)
Is it a faster processor, RAM or multi-cores?
I have a 2009 quad 2.66 and I notice that the cores are barely being used. I have 8 GB RAM.
I just find it takes a longer than expected time to build a 1 hour 45 SD DVD (approximately 9 minutes) . I have the AC3 and M2V files and basic filmstrip menus.
Also, any way to batch builds? Lately, I'm doing multiple disc transfers for clients and it would be great if I could set a batch and walk away instead of having to be here every 7-12 minutes to run a new build. Not complaining per say, but trying to maximize workflow. Some projects take 45 minutes just to run the builds (although I will start burning as they are made).
Cheers,
Keebler

Thanks Brad. I may try compressor again. The quality of Bitvice is better imho and I don't have to beg it to use all cores.
I can only get multiple machines going on 1 file then it crashes/locks up for any additional files.
So much that I even have still opened support calls with the FCP team. I sure wish it worked for me. Seems to be ok for others. Probably something silly I'm doing.

HD DVD: H264 does it work with DVD STUDIO PRO

I compressed a HD movie from FCP via COMPRESSOR using the HD DVD: H.264 setting, then made a HD DVD in DVD Studio Pro (1280 x 720). It played fine in the Simulator, but then I used Advanced Format & Burn to make a DVD to the Hard drive (img).
When it plays, the movies are jerky, like the movie is sticking or stuttering. I put the "img" on a Powerbook pro and it did the same thing. Does DVD Studio Pro work with the H.264? I noticed it did a conversion when the file was imported.

I am having the same problem. What was the solution?

FCE 4 And DVD Studio Pro

What versions of DVD Studio Pro work with FCE 4? My version of FCP has been rendered useless because of upgrading to Leopard, I had to have the iphone! I prefer to stick with DVD Studio Pro over iDVD.
Thanks in advance!

Any version of DVDSP will work with FCE4. It's a standalone application, though it's no longer available outside of Final Cut Studio. It comes with Compressor, its own compression application.

DVD Studio Pro 4 USE WITH EXTERNAL DVD BURNER??

Hello
Looking at buying DVD Studio Pro 4 for my mini but apple have just stated it will not install unless my machine has a superdrive. We've got an external firewire DVD burner and i've read mention of other versions of DVD Studio burning through externals so how come we carnt use DVD Studio Pro 4 with an external DVD burner?
Has anyone tried an external DVD burner with DVD Studio Pro 4 ?
Cheers

This issue isn't external drives, it's the mini, and installing the program.

The specs do not seem to require an internal superdrive.

Corrupted Motion projects in DVD Studio Pro

Hi.
I have just installed Final Cut Studio 2. I have opened a project I've been working on with previous version ( a DVD Studio Pro project with Motion files loaded ) and I have found that all my Motion projects appears with all the layers desplaced or just corrupted. Any solution to this? I still feel that Apple is treating us like "betatesters" instead of profesionals. Hope that some day I take something from them out of the box and it works as expected ( from the beggining, not many monthes later )...
Hugs
Antonio

Antonio:
Exporting the Motion project as animation will be easier and without quality loss. You can use that moie in DVDSP or to Compressor to encode to mpeg-2.

DVD Studio pro " Complier File Error"

MY DVD studio pro is no longer working, I get " Complier File Error " when I try to burn a disc. Will this have anything to do with using Mountion lion on my computor? The DVD studio pro works on my new pro mac. So what is wrong.
I did reload FCP 7 again and it uploads but will not work.
Paul

It will help if you cansupply more details. Are you encoding in Compressor? If so,what are the presets? Please post a screenshot.
Thanks.
