DVD Studio Pro 4 Burning cd-rom, not dvd for playback on TV

Hi there.
I completed an HD project in FCP 7, compressed in "Compressor" and now want to burn a DVD in HD in DVD Studio Pro 4.
I went into "Preferences" and made what I believe are all of the necessary changes to make this happen.
However, when it burns, it won't burn a DVD for playback in a DVD player. In fact, one of my DVD players identifies it as a CD-ROm, and sure enough, it plays in the computer, but not in a DVD player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

HD DVD is a dead format, abandoned by its developers a few years ago after losing out to Blu-ray.
However, HD DVDs will play on later model Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) models of HD DVD players that were made by Toshiba.
Normal, set-top DVD players and Windows DVD player programs have never been able to play HD DVDs. They only play DVDs, which are standard definition only. Some DVD players will upscale the output of a DVD (again, standard definition) to HD dimensions for playback on HDTVs. Some actually do a pretty good job ... some don't. But the fact remains that the source being played can only be standard definition.
So, if you want to make a disc that will contain HD content, you'll need to make a Blu-ray disc. If you want to make a DVD that will play in DVD players, you'll need to make a DVD, which again, can only be standard definition.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    I'am stuck, can anyonw help!
    thanks a lot!

    I've run into this before too.
    What ended up happening to me, after literally many months of stress and frustration, for it was a huge project I had worked on for a long time. I simply had to just make a new project. Something within my project settings or files had become corrupt. My first suggestion would be to just start again and see what happened. But if you don't want to, try making sure you don't have any hidden unused tracks or buttons. This will upset and make DVDSP pissy at times. If that isn't it, maybe it is your actual final cut exported file. Ask yourself, did you run it through compressor or not (this is not a necessity, but could potentially help), if not then try burning a dvd with another project all together and see what happens. It might help you narrow down your problems, sort of like a check list. If the other project burns, then it is either your DVDSP project (which is my guess), or it is your final cut file, which means you just export again and try again.
    Hope that helps!

  • DVD Studio Pro: The directory is not a DVD-Video directory...?

    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 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 "-"

    Which G5?

  • DVD Studio Pro burning/ building help

    I am attempting to burn a project to DVD fro DVD Studio Pro. I keep getting an error message that build was not complete due to I/O error. I checked my drive to make sure that my firmaware was up to date, and it was. The file is only 3.8G and I am trying to burn to a 4.7GB disc. I am wondering if I made a mistake when importing the assets. My original media came from AVID Express Pro and I exported as a Quicktime Movie. Can anyone help???

    Well, we would need to know more about your hardware configuration, but to me it sounds like a classic hardware problem... check all cables and connections, and if you have any way to run diagnostics on your system and/or burner, that might reveal the issue.
    Best of luck!

  • DVD Studio Pro Burning HVDVD_TS File Disk

    I have been having trouble burning a HD DVD from DVD Studio Pro. It continues to burn a data disk with the HVDVD_TS files instead of a DVD with a menu to play in a DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

    Don't do this. Why? Because HD DVD lost out to BluRay in the high def DVD wars (like Betamax lost to VHS back in the day).  The only devices that will play those DVDs are Toshiba HD DVD players that have been discontinued for about 4 years. And Macs with Superdrives. That's it.  Regular DVD players won't play them, BluRay players won't play them.
    If you want high def DVDs, you're going to have to invest in a BluRay burner, and software that will author BluRay disks, like Toast.  Compressor will author BluRay, to regular DVDs no less (so I hear), but they have to be under 10 min.  And then those will only work in BluRay players.

  • DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Previewing Not Working

    Hello! I don't know if anyone can help me with such an old application, but I got it for free so I'm trying to make it work.
    Anyway, I used to use DVD Studio Pro 1.5 on my Titanium PowerBook, and it worked fine then, but I think that ever since I put it on my MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa, non-unibody) with OS 10.6, it seems to have some issues. I am able to build a DVD menu, but for some reason, I can't use the Preview button. Here's a link to a screenshot with the problem:
    https://files.me.com/jgilbertproductions/nymyz3
    Hopefully someone can help with this. It's really bothering me that I can't use DVD Studio Pro. I love it, and I wish it would work. I think it's just probably too old for my MacBook Pro and Snow Leopard, but it's worth asking around. Thanks so much for looking!
    —Tommy

    Absolutely what StudioX said - this is because you are now using Intel processors, and the code for DVDSP1.5 runs on Power PC chips.
    You either need to keep that titanium running, or upgrade to a later version of DVDSP.
    FWIW I have a copy of 1.5 running on an old G4 Quicksilver desktop. I have no reason to use it at all... it was (is) buggy in places and uses obscure methods, but I love it, so I keep it

  • Mac pro DVD Writer + DVD Studio pro + Toshiba HD-EP10 - HD DVD Player !!

    Hi there..
    I tried to make a short HD project in 4.7GB DVD by Mac pro Standard DVD Writer and i tried to play it in Toshiba HD-EP10 - HD DVD Player ( it gives msg ... the disc not contained DVD format and cannot be played ) so what is the mistake which i maded??
    Mac Pro DVD writer can Burn HD Project OR should i by HD DVD Burner?

    You cannot burn a 15 or 30 Gig DVD from DVD SP and it is not supported by DVD SP. You can build those to a hard drive for replication
    also what is the basic steps to creat the HD project in HD DVD not the DVD 5 and compatible with the toshiba player?
    Best Regard.
    You can make a HD DVD on the DVD 5 which will play with the Toshiba and it will give HD quality (and will not play on an SD player) video results, though you cannot author the extras that HD has (the new features in HD as compared to SD DVD), pretty much menus and playback of video. The steps above will create the DVD 5. Have not tried writing to a DVD 9 size for more running time

  • DVD Studio Pro - Burning multiples

    I formatted my DVD as instructed by the Apple one to one tech, did the 'burn/format' to burn my first DVD.  Came out great, menu, music, movie in it's entirety. But when I went to burn another and clicked on Burn/Format again a post came up saying 'A Video TS diretory of this project already exists. Choosing reuse will reuse as much of the video content as possible'.  Since that seemed a bit disconcerting, I thought just hitting the burn symbol might work.  Well, it didn't, it only burned portions of the movie with no menu.
    How can I duplicate the original?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes the computer will remember where you left off on a DVD.  Since this is the exact same as the first one you made it thinks it is the same disc. Try testing DVD's in a DVD player, which is just good practice anyway.

  • DVD STUDIO PRO: Menu Button does not work when in Simulation mode

    How can I make the MENU BUTTON work when I am playing my DVD in SIMULATION MODE? Right now nothing happens when I click on it. I want to make sure it works for the user.
    Thanks

    Not sure I understand.  Are you talking about the menu button on the remote control?  If so, I think you need to check the inspector for the disk in dvdsp and make sure the correct menu is selected for this button.  The behavior of the menu button can be a little tricky.  If I remember correctly, it usually toggles between the menu and the track. 
    If you're talking about a button you've created on a menu, select the button and set the target in the spector.

  • DVD Studio Pro Burn Problem

    I have built a Dual layer single sided disk. Everything in the build works great on the HD however once it is burned to disk parts of the second layer lock up or only play 1 frame every 20 secs.
    Does anyone have any idea what causes this?

    How is the disc designed?
    One long track? Is the areas where it is skipping near the layer break or in a story? Did you build first then see if there is a valid layer break (a proper chapter selection will be dark black.)
    Were these items encoded at a different rate and/or did you A.Pack all the audio?
    What type of media (brand + or -R)?
