DVD Studio pro 3 - cannot import mpeg2 files

Hi,
I have some mpeg2 source files. They are dvd-spec mpeg2 (I think). They are muxed mpeg2, interlaced 29.97 fps. However they will not import. If I demux 'em the audio will come in, but not the Video. QT 7 Pro says the frame size is 640x480 (although lower-level programs will correctly recognize it as 720x480), and the frame rate as 30fps (again lower level programs will say its 29.97 fps).
The mpeg2 comes from a hauupage MPEG2 hardware capture card - it has not been transcoded. The format I guess would be interlaced TV-like input.
Anyone import these kind of mpeg2 without transcoding?

Hi Ryan,
Ideally the mpegs should be elemental streams.
Try demuxing using MpegStreamclip from macupdate. If you can change the settings of your encoder to give you elemental streams that would be a great start.
Also there are many flavours of mpeg and their headers do very considerably and DVDSP doesn't recognise several of them.
You may need to use a utility such as MpegAppend to remedy the situation.
Good Luck.

DVD Studio Pro not importing files

I am using FCP 6.0.1 and trying to import files from compressor to DVD Studio Pro.
I am able to import mp4 files using the latest version of compressor, however unable to import mv2 (mpeg2) files. Also I am only able to import certain mp4 files but not all.
Typically, I used FCP to directly output the files into mv2 files- and those are able to be imported by DVDSP. However, if I use compressor, then the files don't import.
Anyone know what's going on and why my DVD Studio Pro is so picky?

Not really what you want to hear I suppose but maybe invest in a test system to tryout updates before updating crucial systems. Not sure leaving Windows will solve all your problems...
I am running FCS2 on a MacPro and everything is holding up ok so far, its actually running a lot better after the updates touch wood.
Hope you get some answers to help you out. Have you tried other assets to make sure the assests aren't the problem? and so on...

Issues With DVD Studio Pro 1.5 - MPEG2 Encoding & Building Discs

Hi.
I'm having problems encoding MPEG2 files in final cut express - everytime I try to encode, final cut closes.
Also, when I go to build and format a disc in dvd studio pro, this also closes.
I have looked at updating dvd studio pro to 1.5.2 and although I have downloaded the .bin file for the update, I don't know how to get it to run. The download is from the following link ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120138 )
If anyone could help at all, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Of all the early versions of DVDSP, 1.5.2 was the most stable and you really ought to be using that if you are not going to upgrade further.
V1 was notoriously flaky. I used to chant 'Apple+S' every day when I used it, just to remind me to save... I lost count of the number of hours lost when the app hung or crashed. That version of DVDSP was built on an entirely different code base to the current version. There are still folk who prefer to use V1 despite its faults, but I am not one of them... although I do still run a version of it somewhere.
The upgrade will be straightforward enough. Double click the file you have downloaded and you should get a disc image. Open it and double click on the files inside. Keep your serial number handy, although I don't recall it being needed for a minor upgrade.
You may find that encoding is your biggest hurdle. Back in the day of v1.5 there were very few cheap options open to you. One was to use the Quicktime MPEG encoder, which was a system file you had to install into the QT folder in the system library. Since the system library can't be altered whilst the system is running (i.e. your mac is on) this was a bit of an issue - you either used the terminal app, or booted into target disc mode and used a second mac to put the file into the right location. Sheesh. Alternatively, you used an altogether better encoder - BitVice. These days you have many different options for encoding - try simply exporting from FCE as .mov and encoding in something else entirely. You need to end up with elementary streams -ideally a .M2V and .aiff (for audio). You should also have A.Pack installed on your hard drive. Use this to encode the audio to AC3 (Dolby Digital).
Then bring those assets in to DVDSP and author quickly. Use Apple+S frequently - like every time you make a change. Don't use the preview if you can avoid it, as it tended to crash out more often than not. Build the disc as a disc image and test it in DVDPlayer app.
Of course, for a relatively low cost you can now use DVDSP v3 or 4 (available on eBay most days, I think!) This uses a far more stable code base, a more graphical approach to authoring and has more bells and whistles (not that you'll need them all the time, if ever). It is based on DVD Maestro (PC App) and is very similar to use. Advantages are many and varied compared to V1 but there is a consequential hit on speed IMO. That said, if your mac is anything close to modern (I author mostly on an old G4 still) then you will be fine.

How to export subtitles create in DVD Studio Pro into a Quicktime file?

Hi,
My film was edited in Final Cut, then exported to DVD Studio Pro to make dvds. Subtitles were added in DVD Studio Pro.
I need now to make a Quicktime file of the film for web streaming and the file still needs to include the subtitles (or the option to make them appear)
but how can I export the subtitles (dvd studio pro type of files) to my Quicktime file, for streaming?
I read that this is possible but how?
Please help!!
Thanks!
Paula

A DVD uses VOBSUB aka. idx/sub format subtitles which are bitmap images. QuickTime itself does not support this format but Perian can sort of allow them to work. However firstly Perian is Mac only, and secondly I would not expect this work in a web-browser. In fact I don't think there is anyway to control subtitles in a web-browser.
If you have the subtitles in a text format, preferably .SRT format, then you may have more options but again I would think you would still have problem in a web-browser.
In general terms, the best utility for adding text subtitles to a QuickTime compatible file is iSubtitle details are available here http://www.bitfield.se/isubtitle/index.html
What would be possible would be to 'burn' permenantly the image of the subtitles in to the video. This means they would always be visisble even in a web-browser but could not be turned off. You would also be limited to a single language. There are several tools that could do this including Handbrake (to convert directly from the DVD), and SubMerge also from Bitfield.
There are some tools for Windows that use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert the bitmap subtitles in to text ones.

Final Cut Pro Cannot Import Quicktime file "File Error: Unknown file."

Very strange. I have two .MOV files. One of which I can import into Final Cut Pro without a problem. The other gives me the error as described in the subject header.
They have the same Codecs (H.264, AAC), were both shot with the same camera. The only difference I can see is that the one that does import has dimensions 640x480 and the one that doesnt import has dimension 1280x720. Could that be the problem?
thanks for taking the time to help!
Uri

Please give the complete information from the QuickTime movie inspector. Neither file should be used in FCP, but converted to a production format.

DVD studio pro not importing Chinese subs properly

I am working on a very large Chinese subtitling project. It requires thousands of lines of text to be displayed. The problem is that it randomly deletes lines of subs when importing. This does not happen when I am importing English .stl files. I am now finding that I may have to use another DVD software to solve this problem. As you will imagine with so many lines of subtitles it is not practical to go through all these lines and add them manually. Is there a work around or suggestion?

Please help! dvd studio pro 3/ m2v issues

hi,
i have been attempting to burn a simple dvd for 9 hours now. i'm using dvd studio pro 3 on a macbook pro (OS X Tiger); the video assets comprising my dvd studio pro project are mpeg2 files. everything looks beautiful when i simulate the menu within studio pro. then when i build/format, the formatting fails every single time and gives me NO error code, nothing to go on - all it says is "formatting failed".
studio pro 3 can import and play the mpeg2 files, but not build/format the project with them - i'm wondering if this is an obvious compatibility thing with macbook pro. i know macbook pro can't read mpeg2 files on its own (much to my chagrin - a major flaw in my humble opinion but that's a different story) - like, if i were to try to play the file in the quicktime player. but, should i be having this problem when working with the mpeg2 files strictly within the software? final cut pro exported the files just fine, dvd studio pro accepted and can play them - is the dvd drive on a macbook pro unable to write a project with original assets in mpeg2 format even IF, theoretically, these should be encoded by the software prior to burning the dvd?
this is really time urgent as well, so any help would be much appreciated... thanks!

ah, thank you, the mystery about the studio pro 3 is somewhat solved. i've been having problems with it ever since i transitioned to the intel, but strangely it has worked about half the time so i didn't think it was unsupported altogether.
Nope officially unsupported and not to be used on Intel Machines (though of course once in awhile it will work properly, which is almost worse than never working )
i have tried building first then formatting; i have tried everything - formatting first, building/formatting, building first, etc. i have tried 2 different brands of media dvd-r. as for DL with proper layer break, i was reading a bit about that in another thread but i'm not sure what it pertains to exactly... nothing i've done is very complex and it's all been very DIY learn-as-i-go. so... not sure if i'm missing something there.
thanks
Can you build the DVD? Or will it not even build? (Since it is not a DL do not worry about the layer break, sometimes if making DL DVD and there is no break found it can stall things out)

Importing subtitles into DVD Studio Pro 4 that were created FCP Studio 6

Greetings!
So in all the DVD Studio Pro 4 documentation, I couldn't find any work flow that allowed you to create subtitles, via *Text or Boris 3D Titles* in Final Cut Pro Studio 6 and then export or import your work into DVD Studio Pro to be used in the subtitle fields... Is that possible?
After painstakingly entering in subtitles for a feature film line-by-line, timing them perfectly to picture and making them look beautiful with crisp-text & a slight drop-shadow... It would be wonderful to import those files (as graphics files? DVD Studio Pro can import those...) in our DVD for release, with optional subtitles-- Instead of making/encoding 2 versions; with & without subtitles.
What is the best way to export these files, created for the film subtitling in *Text or Boris 3D Titles* so that we can import them into DVD Studio Pro 4 subtitle tracks... Could they be exported with an Alpha Channel so that the background is transparent? And will this then be excepted into DVD Studio Pro 4 to be placed in the subtitle fields?
Please help us conquer this seemingly-necessary procedure... I would really hate to think that to achieve this task we'd have to re-enter, re-design & re-time ALL subtitles to make our DVD... All of your suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

OK-- I love that I've found a way to answer my own question on this forum (but actually I must credit my buddy James for finding out about 'TitleExchange Pro') It looks pretty cool and should do exactly what I've asked about: Exporting/ Importing subtitles made in FCP to DVD SP...
TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things simple.
If you ever wished to get your titles out of FCP into DVDSP (or another DVD authoring application), get titles into FCP from another source like DVDSP or STL, or ceate a QT with all your FCP subtitles without the need of rendering (and get automatic selection of language) or just "equalize" your FCP titles TEP will be the right tool.
There's a slight catch but it might be worth it, if this works as well as it states...Cost 135 EUR:) You can download a limited demo version that works for 30 days & 50 titles...If anyone wants to give their feedback on this software, please post it here-- We'd all be interested.
Download & more information about this process at: http://www.spherico.de/filmtools/TitleExchange/
Also, check out this video tutorial on the product... It explains exactly how to do the task-at-hand... http://www.studiodaily.com/main/minisites/finalcutpro/f/mtutorials/6851.html

DVD Studio Pro translated subtitle files (Spanish) - which format?

I have an option to receive one of the following subtitle file formats from a subtitler/translator for DVD Studio Pro:
- Spruce Text .stl file (text-based file, it will have font size information but you can edit if necessary; color is not specified – you can edit on your end)
- .stl navigation file with TIFFs or BMP files – the .stl file will contain time code information for each of the TIFFS or BMP (bitmaps). You will not be able to edit the text, font, color, etc. since the TIFFS or BMP files are set graphic images.
Which is the best path?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Both are good or bad - it depends on what you intend to do.
With the text files you're way more flexible, but the quality of the subtitles is a bit below rendered titles and some fonts do either not work with DVDSP or kerning is not that nice. Rendered titles text can't be changed easily except they are 'Layered TIFFs'.
I always would go the text route as it takes less space and is more flexible.
In any case you should have a good subtitle editor as a change of timing or text is no real fun within DVDSP.
I do have an app called TitleExchange which allows to use subtitles both with FCP and DVDSP and you can use FCP to make new timing, text changes, font changes, size changes and view that real time and then send it to DVDSP as an STL text file.
But there are other apps out there which can do something similar.
Hope this helps

Importing 1080/24p sequence into DVD Studio Pro 4

Perhaps the answer here is as simple as "DVD Studio Pro doesn't do Blu-ray." In any event, I recently got a Sony HXR-NX5U, which, among its many functions, shoots 1080 at 24p, 30p and 60i. Following these instructions from Ken Stone (http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/burn_br_mac_superdrivestone.html), I was able to output a 1080/24p movie and burn it to the hybrid format he describes, which plays fine on my PlayStation 3.
However, when I try and bring the files that were created as a result of the "Share" command in FCP 7.0.3 (which are an ac3 file and an H.264 file), DVD Studio Pro will not recognize the H.264 video file and says that it is invalid. I'm assuming that the "Share" command creates these files via Compressor... if I'm wrong, please let me know.
However, if I just do a straight export of my 1080/24p timeline as a QuickTime movie, then DVD Studio Pro will accept the files, marking it with a "yellow" indictator, indicating that it needs to be processed.
What I'm wondering is... is there a way to export using Compressor so that DVD Studio Pro will accept the files? If I just do a straight export from the FCP timeline as a QuickTime movie and let DVD Studio Pro do the encoding, will it remain 24p?
Bear in mind I'm not trying to burn a blu-ray disc.
Thank you!

DVD SP does't do Blu-Ray.
If you have time to kill, do a search on the forum for hours of entertaining reading on this subject.
To create a DVD, use Compressor to generate the m2v and ac3 files needed by DVDSP to author a DVD.
Again, a search of this forum will turn up hundreds of threads - most of which are restating the process for authoring that is spelled out in the manual.

Final Cut Sequence to Compressor to DVD Studio Pro

Running latest FCP Studio apps. Have a sequence fully edited and mixed (via Soundtrack) and sent the file to Compressor for output to DVD Studio Pro to create the DVD. I used the H.264 for DVDPro compression template (H.264 for DVDPro - 120 min) setting as provided by Apple. The compression file worked like a charm. I have the file and it plays beautifully in QT player. However when I try to add the asset or import it into DVDStudio Pro it says it is in an incompatible format. What gives? Shouldn't the template know how to render/compress the movie if the template setting is supposed to be in DVDStudio Pro format? Scratching my head on this one. Any pointers would be of great help.
File particulars: 3 1/2 minute movie (film student project) that was sent to compressor as a sequence file. Encoder template is set up for MPeg2 format using 7.34Mbps Average Bit Rate/23.00Mbps for Maximum Bit Rate/2.0 seconds for Frame Sync and Multi-pass and Include PCM Audio are checked (all are the default settings as provided by Apple).
Message was edited by: William Lutes

That would be a reasonable except that when I used those preset settings the file was unplayable by Quicktime OR DVDSP. QTPlayer wouldn't play it (as it was unrecognized file format) and DVDSP wouldn't import it. So I am at a loss on how to use compressor with the DVD setting templates. All I need is to compress the 3.5 minute movie file in a format that DVD Studio Pro will import and allow me to build and press to a DVD for family members to watch. I should add that I exported (via the Quicktime option in FCP) a movie file and then brought it into DVDSP but when I built the DVD it encoded the movie file in a very weird way (strange flicker when close up shots played on screen). When I just tried to change the encoding settings (in DVDSP) to allow for the least amount of effect on my file (basically the movie is only around 500mb uncompressed so a 4.7 blank dvd has more than enough room) DVDSP encoding still encoded the file in the strange flickering artifact manner.
The project is basically a simple menu with two options one to view the 3.5 minute movie file and the second is a 5 min behind the scenes explanation of the project by the director. All together the project file in DVDStudio Pro is around 650mb. So, the question now becomes: should I be bothering with Compressor at all and if I eschew its use then what can I do in DVDStudio Pro's encoding to have the least effect on the movie file (which plays fine without any flickering artifact before DVDSP gets its hands on it to build the DVD).
Any ideas? Thanks for chiming in btw, I do appreciate it.

DVD Studio Pro 4 Encoding Preferences

Hello,
I have 40GB of MOV files and they all have this specs:
- 640x480
- 4000kbps bitrate
Now, when I go to DVD Studio Pro -- Preferences -- Encoding -- SD DVD... I have the bit rate so, lets say for instance 4000kbps bit rate, I import a video file (AVI, MOV or others), DVD Studio Pro will convert that file to 4000kbps encoding on MPEG-2 (.m2v files), right? Now, what about if I change the bit rate to 2000kbps, now the file I just transfered to DVD Studio Pro becomes smaller, and the quality gets a bit lower, but it is ok, what I really need is to fit my home videos to at least 2-4 DVD, of not, that would be a shame if it didnt work as I wanted. So, 2000kbps, the quality is good, not bad... Now here is my question...
Can I change the bit rate to 1000kbps,, 1500, or even lower than that? How? Why cant DVD Studio Pro have this option of a bit rate lower than 2000kbps, how can I do it? Is there any trick, please advice, I am trying to do this encoding for a month and I really need to finish it for the next week and put it on my DVD Presentation.
Is there any plugins or that sort of things that can HAVE the option of lower than 2000kbps bit rate constant on DVSP4?
Thank you for reading this, any help would be really appreciated...
iMac 20" - Intel Core Duo 2GHz, 512MB RAM, 128MB ATi Radeon X1600, 1TB of HDs Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello,
As always, thank you for helping me out. The thing is, I already used compressor. For instance, I encoded a 14MB MOV file in compressor to MPEG-2 (M2V) and Dolby (AC3) and the file was about 8MB (M2V Video File + AC3 Audio File = about 8MB), in a bit rate of 2mbps, and the wuality was terrible! I oculd see the pixels everywhere, it had a terrible quality. So, when I imported the MOV file (14MB) to DVSP4 without using compressor, the size it took on the DVD Project was 8.8MB and the quality was the same as my MOV file, perfect quality, great, I loved it. And look at this, my DVSP4 preferences was set for 2000kbps bit rate encoding, and with a great quality. That is why I wanted sooo much to find a way to encode my videos to DVSP4 in a lower bit rate, so I could put all of my 40GB of Home videos in about 2-4 DVDs... but now I will have to put it all in about 6-7...
Any advices? I dont want and I cant use Compressor because the quality DVD`is realllly poor. Ive searched everywhere for a encoder that can actually encode my videos to a MPEG-2 format (that means the format DVSP4 uses for DVD Video Encoding) but I simply cannot find one!! Ive tried to PCs and Macs... none of them has worked.
Please help, thank you...

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.

Updated DVD studio pro 4.2.1 and now I cannot import .mov files?

I just updated to OS 10.5.7 and DVD studio pro 4.2.1 and now can only open half my previous project files (yet others open fine still done at the same time) and also can no longer import any 1920x1080i HDV files exported from Final Cut Pro, where I could before, if I didn't want to deal with the 17 hour compressor m2v export. On a deadline and of course the 2 files I need to update no longer open. Help!

yes. its bizarre as I can only import m2v's now vs .mov files before. Keep getting error messages, as well as only opening about 50% of my DVDSP project files, yet all have the same basic elements & settings. Exporting my files as m2vs which should work, but wondering why this is and if I'm the only one experiencing and if there is a fix?

Importing .ts files into DVD Studio Pro

Hi,
I've downloaded a MPEG2 file which has a file extension of .ts
DVD Studio Pro and Compressor don't seem to like this file extension. Can anyone tell me the best way to get it into DVD SP please?
I tried importing it into MPEG Streamclip, but there doesn't seem to be a MPEG2 export option there.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon

It could be a muxed MPEG file, in which case, you'd need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert to and elementary MPEG-2 (.m2v) video file and an AC3 or AIF audio file. Import the resulting two files into DVD SP.
