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

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

DvD Studio Pro recently updated, not working properly

Sometime it seems it just doesn't pay to update software.
I Recently updated my OS to Tiger and along with it I updated to the latest FCP and DVD Studio pro.
Now in DVD Studio Pro it will not properly read existing projects and when I build a project from scratch it "unexpectedly quits" just when I get going.
Any one else have this problem?

I went thru this recently, after weeks of calling Applecare, trying everything, the solution finally was to completely de-Install DVD Studio (detailed instructions are on Apple support somewheres) and Final Cut (plus all the smaller apps) BOTH. Then re-install everything, appartently there is some shared libraries or something that get corrupt, Applecare was useless btw, (except to point me towards the de-installation docs)... I know it sounds like alot of hassle, but it worked for me! Good Luck!

How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!, How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!

I recently installed os leopard on my power MAC G5 and my DVD studio pro 3 application is not working properly as it used to be. I was unable to create motion menu and build the dvd properly. Then I deleted and reinstall dvd studio pro 3, but it did not solve the problems. What should I do?

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't work in 10.5.x, possibly because of the version of Quicktime...
System Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.2
733 MHz or faster PowerPC processor (G4 minimum) and AGP graphics card
256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
20 GB available disk space
8 MB of video memory (32 MB recommended)
QuickTime 6.5
DVD drive required for installation
I think your going to need a dual boot Mac with 10.4.x on another drive or partition.

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.

My dvd/cd player/burner is not working...

My dvd/cd player/burner is not working, and I don't want to spend $$$ to fix it. What dvd/cd is available at a good price?

You have given us little to go on. What Mac product line and model? Different Macs take different optical drives.
Also, when asking what is available, telling us you general geographic location is a help. That way, someone won't recommend a vendor that cannot ship to your location.
Although you cannot determine from the non-intuitive forum title Apple chose, the forum you found is for Mac hardware made before 1998. Anything here get very few views. If you have a newer model, we can ge the Hosts to move you to a more active forum and more eyeballs.

DVD Studio Pro 2 will not burn DVDs

I have recently upgraded to Leopard. I can now build an entire project in DVD Studio Pro 2. However, when I try to build, format, or build & format a DVD the application will "quit unexpectedly."
I contacted Apple support and was told to uninstall the program and re-install it. I did that and the problem still exists.
All of my software has been updated.
I understand the software is "older" but if it were unsupported software, why can I build an entire project and only have trouble when it comes to transferring it to a DVD?
My DVD superdrive has been upgraded, and I have burned photo DVDs and CDs with the new burner without any issues.
Does anybody know what else I can do?

David,
I didn't mean to offend you with my frustration with Apple. I understand the need to upgrade operating systems. However, I don't believe that upgrading operating systems should make software obsolute. When Windows changes their operating systems, the programs you have installed on your PC will continue to work.
Leopard is many interations passed the OS that DVD SP came out and you would have the same issues in Windows with what software runs or not and usually Mac software has a pretty good lifetime. DVD SP has not been sold as stand alone for quite awhile unfortunately. Though I do have some issues with Apple from time to time, this is one of those where I cannot fault them.
Try Tiger (I am running PS3 on 10.4.11 MacBook Pro with no issues), but make sure to deauthorize your Photosshop 3 before doing anything on the sytem. As to Leopard, I am not a big fan yet, so unless you absolutely need it, you are not missing much yet.

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 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 2 does not play well with Leopard.

Hi All.
Besides running Leopard on antique hardware, I'm also trying to run antique software. Has anyone built and formatted a project with DVD Studio Pro 2 running on Leopard?
Thanks.

Just noticed there are posts about this in the DVD Studio Pro group.

I recently updated to Leopard, and now DVD Studio Pro 3 doesn't work.

Hey,
So I have a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 iMac (old skool, yes I know) and I reciently updated from my OS 10.3 to Leopard 10.5.6 (mostly because the internet would no longer work and I had to update or I couldn't get the latest browsers.)
However, I just reciently discovered that while my FCP HD 4.5 has been working like it used to, my DVD SP 3 no longer works. This has been a horrible surprise for me, especially since I need to burn a DVD for a project I'm working on. I've been searching all over the internet and these forums for the solution, but nothing has helped.
Here is the problem: When I open DVD SP 3 and try to save anything, the program crashes and disappears.
Apparently I've been getting an "Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000000000070b Crashed Thread: 0" error.
One of the solutions I read to fix this problem was to try deleting my User Prefrences. I did this, restarted, and now when I tried to use the program, I was able to open DVD SP, import an asset, and SAVE! However, once I tried to drag an asset into the menu screen or do anything productive with those assets, I get a new error message that reads "The document “soultrain” could not be saved."
I tried opening an old file from before the upgrade and was able to not only access it, but burn a fully fuctional dvd. This leads me to believe that the program can't be completely incompatible with OS 10.5.6, but whats stopping me from saving?
Another solution I read about here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1113 said that the solution was to upgrade from Pro Application Support 3.1 to Pro Application Support 4.0. It describes almost exactly the problem I'm having, however, PAS 4.0 doesn't seem to be available anywhere on the Apple Support Downloads site. I google searched the patch and was able to find it elsewhere. However when I tried to install it I was now getting a Javascript error that read: "You cannot install Pro Application Support on this volume. There was an error evaluating JavaScript for the package."
After upgrading Java, restarting, and trying again, I still get the same error.
I am at a total loss. I really really need some help with this problem.

I don't know if this helps, but I'm still working on this problem and took a screen shot of my Console Message errors:
What's happening here is opening the program, trying to save and it crashes. Then trying to open the program again and it crashing before it even opens. Finally opening the program a third time and trying to save it using "save as" instead of "save" (which I found one forum recommending) and it crashing again.

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.

Acrobat X Pro - "Select" Button Not Working In IE8

Windows XP, IE8, Acrobat X Pro
The "Select" button on the toolbar was working initially. I didn't use it for a while. Then when I went to use it again, it doesn't work. The button "clicks" (toggles lighter and darker) when clicked, but nothing happens when you try to select things, everything just behaves as if Select is not active.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?
I love the Select feature, and would love to get it back.

CREATED A MOVIE IN IDVD 4, BURN BUTTON NOT WORKING

I created a dvd in imovie I used made little quicktime movies and imported them to imovie then I made chapter markers to send to idvd. After creating a theme with music I went to click on burn and nothing happens. It took me a long time to make the dvd and I would really like to burn it. Am I doing something wrong? oh also if I save it as an archive then it says that there is not enough free space on my hard disk.
someone please help

i looked at some help files and it says that u must have at least twice as much free space on your hard drive before burning. To check your project size click project and click project info. A window will pop up. On the right side of the screen there will be something that says DVD Capacity. Next to that will be a progress bar and next to that will be words that give a number of Gb out of Gb (for example "4Gb out of 4.2Gb". the first number is your prodject size. for example if your prodject size is 4 Gb then u need 8Gb of free space on your hard drive. to check how much free space u have use the Activity Moniter.
