Dvd studio pro 4 canot be installed in this computer

Hi I'm traying to installed DVD studio pro and I'm getting this error "dvd studio pro 4 canot be installed in this computer"

Are you installing it on a G5 tower running 10.4.6 (as listed in the profile) or on something else? Did you also download recent security updates/QT updates to the OS? There have been reports that they have caused install issues, more for non-Apple apps on MacIntels (in fact I ran into the issues), http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=487766

Install Order Question - Compressor 4 first or DVD Studio Pro 4 first...

Hi all, I have asked this on another forum but realized I probably should have tried here first.
I'm on a fresh install of Lion and am planning to use this to do authoring on. I want to use compressor 4 which I will get from the app store and plan to use DVD Studio Pro 4 from my FCS3 set.
I'm not sure on the install order tho.
If I put my FCS3 disc in, it requires to install compressor to install DVD Studio pro. Should I install from FCS3 first then buy Compressor 4 from the app store, or can I install compressor 4 first and some how bypass FCS3 attempting to install its copy of compressor? I don't really need/want 2 copies of compressor on my system... Any tips on what I can do to install just Compressor 4 and DVD Studio 4 without the Compressor and Qmaster from FCS3 I'd be most appreciative!!

My 2 cents…don't be in a hurry to get rid of Compressor 3.5 – particularly if you're planning to continue working with FCP 7. You can keep both on your system, no problem. (This raises the question of why you need v4, but I asssume you have good reasons.)
I would begin by doing the FCS installation, then doing all the required updates; then I'd download the Compressor app and install. I'm pretty sure that this will automatically create a FCS folder and move all your legacy apps to that folder. The APple best practices doc for a single partition install says next step is to open the legacy version of Motion and then close before doimg anything with the new app (in your case, Compressor4).
Pretty confident that all your FCS apps – including DVSP – should work fine after this.
BUT. Always clone your systems drive so you can revert in case you don't like the results. (Time Machine is not an adequent substitute. I use Carbon Copy Cloner but there are alternatives.)

DVD Studio Pro 4 gets stuck when attempting to apply a template

Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange issue using DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0 installed along with the complete Final Cut Studio 2 suite. I'm creating a blank, totally new project, and try to apply one of the templates listed in the upper right-hand box:
The dialog "Applying template" appears, and I can see the bar moving/spinning, but it never goes away. The template background is displayed in the bottom of the scene, but nothing else happens, and the bar spins forever.
I'm using newest generation macbook pros 2,4GHz with Nvidia graphics under Tiger 10.4.10

After further investigation, it appears that I'm unable to create any shape on the menus (i.e. button shapes). Drag and drop of any pre-existing shape from the right-hand box has no effect at all.
Could this have anything to do with file system permissions?

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.

Does DVD Studio Pro 4 Work In Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3 ?

I have an older version of "DVD Studio Pro 4" which I have never installed, an would be curious to know if it will run on OSX 10.8.3 (Mountain LIon)? I have a new 2013 iMac that I am loading up with software, and would like to consider loading the "DVD Studio Pro 4".
I'd also be interested in knowing of any DVD Studio Pro 4 updates (if any) and where to get them, including the 4.0.2 update ... as, unfortunately the Apple site has dropped update support for this program.
Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Russ:
Well, evidently "DVD Studio Pro 4" won't install on an Intel iMac.
Attached (below) is a "screen grab" of the unexpected pop-up window I was first presented with, when I tried to use the DVD Studio Pro 4 Installer .mpkg.
DVD Studio Pro 4
Minimum Hardware Requirements
• A Macintosh computer with a 733 megahertz (MHz) or faster
   PowerPC G4 or G5 processor (G5 required for HD authoring
   and playback)
• 8 megabytes (MB) of video memory (32 MB recommended)
• 512 MB of RAM (1 GB required for HD)
• AGP Quartz Extreme graphics card
DVD Studio Pro 4
Minimum Software Requirements
• Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
• QuickTime 7.0 or later
Nuts! I really wanted to install and use this application.
PS: Just curious Russ .... how are you able to run "DVD Studio Pro 4" on your MBP with 10.7? Is the MBP Intel? Can you tell me the "version" of "DVD Studio Pro 4" that you have installed?
Was there an Intel version made of "DVD Studio Pro 4" that I don't know about?

MPEG2 Crashes DVD Studio Pro 4

Everytime I select a mpeg 2 (.m2v) in my import assests window, DVD Studio Pro immediately crashes. Even when I select the movie file from my finder, the finder crashes. This isn't just one movie file that is making these programs crash. I have tried 8 different ones. The weird part is that the .m2v files that already exist in the project play perfectly and don't crash DVD Studio Pro. How can I correct this problem? Thank you.

I've just loaded DVD Studio Pro 4 and cannot get it to import assets (of any kind) without crashing. I'm guessing this is a similar problem. I've repaired permissions, loaded the Pro app update and updated to DVD SP4.02. . .but I don't know what "trash the DVD SP plist" means?
At this point I can't operate anything in the menu, for example I can select preferences from the menu but it does nothing. It will open a new project, but won't let me do anything with the project.
I have more than the required hardware and had no trouble with DVD Studio 3. I did load Tiger before loading DVD SP4 if that makes a difference. Any suggestions? (I also loaded FCP 5 at the same time and have had no trouble withthat program.)

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

Making a .EVO and .MAP file using DVD studio Pro..............

I am trying to make a .EVO and .MAP file using DVD Studio Pro. Please dont respond to this if you have no idea what this is. Dealing in real HD situaiton....trying to find a quick and dirty way to make these files as placeholders, was hoping DVD studio Pro could do it. Thanks.

you cant make them using DVD Studi pro, since they are for TRULY 1080p (23.98fps) projects using vc1.
funny thing is if you know about these files, you would also KNOW that DVDSP does not do this!
i have seen this files on the toshiba GUI but have not seen them with the blu-ray authroing compile.
also, i am going to have to say that if you are TRULY "Dealing in real HD situaiton." you wouldnt NEED DVDSP.
so ease up with the chip and if you have a REAL question ask it, if yo uare just here to show your feathers.. not interested!

Exporting FCP movie for DVD Studio Pro

I am finished with my movie. I am confused now on the exporting to DVD studio pro. How do I do this? My viewer also would like it to be in widescreen because they had just bought a HDTV widescreen.
So how do I go about this. I have made many with iDVD but this will be my first with Studio Pro.
How do I export for DVD studio Pro?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB - 100GB Hard Drive

The most important thing you can do to help us answer your question is to give us the specs on your project. Open Final Cut Pro and click into your sequence. Then go to the menu "sequence" and go to "settings" or simply hit a command-0 (the number not the letter). Then tell us the frame size and the compressor used. From that information, we can get a better idea on how to help you: it is best to start any post with this information.
To export the best quality, go to file -> export -> QuickTime Movie...
From there, export using current settings, include audio and video, and make sure the bottom two boxes are checked (recompress all frames and make self-contained)
Once that file is created, import into DVD SP and you're done. Don't worry about compressor or other formats right now. This will give you the best picture with the minimum amount of headaches. Let us know how it turns out.

Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.
Edit: Found it... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21416133#21416133 read the second post.

Error While Installing DVD Studio Pro 3

Hey, would anybody be able to help me here?
I have tried to install my copy of DVD Studio Pro 3, and all goes well until the DVD Templates begin installing. It gets to them being 99% installed, then says there was an error installing the software, and to try again later. I have tried it a number of times, each time with the same result. I have gone into custom install, and unchecked the templates, but it still happens, this time when installing the themes.
I really need to get this thing up and running. Is there anything I can do? Has anyone come across this before? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

At first I tried all the usual suspects. Remove all third party stuff. Brand new 160GB Seagate HD formatted with Tiger disk utility on the Quicksilver 800. The utility formatted the drive as a 149GB. All kind of wierdness. Computer would not even start in safe mode, yet Tiger would run Safari etc. I suspected RAM as somewhere else on the Apple site; ram was listed as the major culprit. Not so! What the problem is seems to be a conflict with the Tiger formatting and the firmware of the Quicksilver 800. These machines only recognize 127GB or smaller. Just for laughs I started up with an OS9.2.1 disk, and it said that the disk was not an HFS disk. Reformatted and all was well. It seems this was a problem with early 2001 machines.
Previously I had not seen this problem.

I can't burn DVD's on DVD Studio Pro since I install Snow Leopard

Well, my computer was working great, I had tiger installed and I decided to update to snow leopard and "big mistake" since then I haven't been able to burn DVD's from DVD Studio Pro, at the time to start writing the information to burn it, it shows a message saying " the recording device reported the error #6. Unknown device error. I connected and external dvd burner and when is time to burn it says "The recording device reported the illegal request. Unknown device.
I can easily burn DVD's from iDVD what makes me believe the problem is not with the burner. I went to Melrose Mac and they told me there is a conflict between FCS and Snow Leopard, they suggested to install Leopard instead, he mention many people has complain about the same issue Can that be possible? I got something thinking my computer was going to work better and I screwed it up!

Did you also upgrade DVD Studio Pro?

Just installed DVD Studio Pro 2 in Power Book G4 Lap but I cant view Subtitles in the grew square while typing the text. I see the text in the Inspector but nothing appears in the grew square. Once finished the subtitle I run the sceen and see the subtitl

I just installed DVD Studio Pro 2 in a Power Book G4 Lap but I cant see subtitle text typing after doble click a new subtitle. I see the text that I am typing in the Inspector Window but the grew square in the Monitor Window seemes empty. Once I finished the subtitle I can run the video and the subtitle appears in color, font and size chosen. Creating the next subtitle I can even go to the one before click once over the subtitle, then click above to get the videoline tool over the subtitle and I will see the subtitle in the Monitor and editing the text in the Inspector I can see the changes in the Monitor. But as soon as I doble click the grew square appears and the text dissapears. Sin doubt the text is there because I can select the invisible text with "Apple"+"A", and then change fonts and sizes and it works. In Color settings I tried every posible combination of Mapping types, color and opacity. In DVD Preference I checked the subtitle settings. The monitor text defaults work perfectly and double clicking texts in the Monitor window where a grew sqaure appears and the text is visible just works correctly. Somebody can help? Do I need to change some configuration in the LAP?

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.
