  • Idvd & dvd studio pro disc not playing properly in other players

    Hi
    I have edited a program for the past 3 DAYS, and i have burned the program using IDVD, DVD studio pro, and Toast Titanium.
    It plays ok on my G5 and my laptop G4.
    And every lousy time i give the disc to the client something different goes wrong.
    If it's not a lockup,it's artifacts, and programs jumping forward and backwards between scenes, by itself.
    I'm using Memorex and Philips DVD discs.
    My Toshiba DVD appliance deck burns the program beautifully and no hiccups.
    But the customer wants the lovely menus that apple has designed
    Personally i am sick and tired of apple and all the "perfect world marketing" , i had yet to burn a DVD disc with idvd or dvd studio pro with any confidence.
    Apple should get into the " Bovine scatology " business, at least when that gets spread something grows despite the smell.
    Anyway, i don't know if anyone can help me or not .
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Vic.

    While I can understand your frustration, I believe the problem here is in the encoding settings. iDVD doesn't give you much control over specific encoding settings, whereas encoding through Compressor will.
    Some specific things are missing from your post. What is your workflow? How are you exporting your timeline? What format is your project (DV, HDV, DVCPRO, PAL, NTSC)? When you built your DVD in Studio Pro, what encoding settings did you use? Do you know where the encoding settings are? What are the settings for your DVD project (SD or HD)?
    You would do yourself and your client good to take some time to read over proper DVD mastering workflows. It's really quite painless once you understand how things work. Blaming Apple for this is not a very helpful way to solve your problem.
    The tutorial DVDs that came packaged with your install discs will also help. Just look at the lessons for DVD Studio Pro.

  • 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 DISC Resume

    I have made a DVD with a menu, four stories, and a play all button. When playing any of these and than pressing the stop button it obviously stops the program but when pressing stop again to clear the resume and pressing play it plays the first track rather then the menu which is already set a the first play and the title. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Rezo,
    Both you and the iRobot production team have authored the disc incorrectly. It's easy to even crash many Hollywood discs with some remote operations, so don't feel bad.
    Most players will start up with Title 1 (the Track in VTS 1 as seen in your VTS View in the Outline tab area) after a true stopped state has been entered. This is the correct behavior for all DVD players if stop is initiated in the "Title Domain", and is as per DVD Specifications (Part III, VIDEO SPECIFICATIONS - 3.3 System Model, 3.3.8 Transition by User Operations - pages VI3-44 & VI3-45).
    The Stop state also clears out register values, which can cause some projects to begin to navigate erratically. It's best for the disc startup sequence and restart from Stop to be authored for similar, if not exact routing, so all disc variable values are reinitialized properly.
    Navigation does something else if playback restarts from a stop initiated from within the Menu Domains. This can get quite complex, especially with Abstraction layer authoring systems like DVD SP.
    Take care,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Using dvd studio pro and getting language must differ message.  Will not let me create disc.  Help!

    using dvd studio pro and getting language must differ message.  Will not let me create disc.  Help!

    It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
    Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

  • Is it true that DVD Studio Pro will not burn HD discs?

    I an considering shooting in HD and editing that in Final Cut Express, but I have been told that DVD Studio Pro won't create a HD disc without a very expensive addition of something called Blue-Ray. Are there any advantages of shooting in HD, if the final disc won't support it? Would the aspect ratio be 16:9, but with no better definition?
    Thanks, Bob

    You're better off putting it into Compressor and using one of the DVD presets such as DVD Best Quality 90 mins. That will give you much better quality than DVD SP's built-in compressor.
    SD stands for Standard Definition and refers to NTSC, PAL, SECAM, etc, depending on which country you are in.
    In DVD SP you can change the aspect ratio settings so that it will display in 16:9 on a widescreen TV but letterboxed on a 4:3 screen.

  • Burning a Dual Layer Disc through DVD studio pro

    Formating failed
    The recording device reported the not ready error: Cannot write medium-incompatible format (0x30, 0x50)
    I need to know what is going on. I tried to burn a DVD studio completed project on a dual layer disc on my mac (which has dual layer capablities) and kept getting this message. I think it is the disc itself but don't have a clue what I am doing wrong.
    I have been able to burn the video TS (etc) files to the desktop completely but when I try to burn to the DVD I get this error message.
    Can you help.
    Thanks

    Which burner do you have?
    What type of media? DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL? Brand?
    Is your DVD Studio Pro project set as dual layer?

  • Finalizing a disc in DVD Studio Pro

    Hi All...
    Can you please help me... I feel like this should be simple but I cannot seem to get it.
    I am creating a playable dvd.  Wanting to insert it into the dvd player, have it play and it loop.
    I found this article:
    http://library.creativecow.net/articles/alexzander_alex/single_track_dvd.php
    Seemed to work just fine because I tested it on my computer and it did everything... started playing instantly and even looped.
    BUT... when I inserted it into my dvd player attached to my tv... it reads it as a data dvd.  I cannot seem to find the option to finalize my disc.  I've burned this to a +RW & to a -R.
    Please help... Thank you very much!

    If the disc will only play in your Mac, then there's a high probability that you created an "HD DVD" instead of a DVD.
    HD DVD is a dead format; having been abandoned by its developers several years ago.  HD DVDs will only play in later model Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) HD DVD player models that were manufactured by Toshiba.
    If you find this is the cause of the issue in your case, launch DVD Studio Pro and change the preferences so that it will author a DVD (standard definition), then start a new project and begin the authoring process again.  Do not attempt to change your existing project - that will not work properly.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 Dual Layer Disc Question - Can Files Be Moved from Top to Bottom Layer?

    HI Everyone -
    I have authored a dual layer DVD for a feature film with lots of bonus material.  I put the layer break in the least intrusive spot where the frame is already still and there is little sound.  Layer switch is fine.  DVD plays as it should with no problems other than the expected pause during the layer break.
    I'd like to have the layer break at a point much earlier in the movie, where it actually goes to black and silence for a moment - a spot DVDSP4 won't let me assign a layer break marker to.  I do understand why. 
    DVD Studio Pro has the movie on the bottom layer of the DVD, I assume because that is the first track I created.
    At this point, is it at all possible to move the tracks around where the bonus features take up most of the bottom layer so the less of the movie is on the bottom layer and I can move that layer break up (without completely re-authoring)?
    Thank you for your time.

    The fun continues...
    The DVD Drive on my 10.6 machine seems to no longer be working...
    Maybe this caused/contributed to/resulted in the earlier problem?
    Anyone else experiencing similar issues? All hard drives and firewire drives seem to be functioning normally at this time.
    My 10.5 machine appears to be eating through the DVD writing process successfully... slowly, but successfully

  • Why wont dvd studio pro eject disc when done?

    I have a dual 1.8  g% that won't eject DVDs after they are burned it will hang forever writing leadout on both DVD studio pro and Toast 8. Anyone know of an issue or a fix?  Hard crashing to get DVD's out is a bad idea.

    What happens when you try to write the disk on a different DVD burner?
    I suspect the drive is having "issues".

  • Will dvd studio pro solve my disc playback problems?

    Hi folks-
    I have to say I love my G5 and the very easy to use iDVD and Imovie apps. However I find that dvds I make will not play in many dvd players. This seems to be a known issue and I have tried various fixes without consistent results. Anyway, what I want to know, if anyone can tell me, is if upgrading to dvd studio pro will solve/help with this at all. As you all know it is very very disappointing to spend many hours and $$ creating a great video only to discover it is unplayable on random dvd players. It is also makes me look stupid, and I don't need any help in that regard.
    Thanks for your attention.

    Need more details. Do they freeze and stutter or not do anything at all in these players?
    If they freeze and stutter, are you sticking on labels? If so, this is most likely your problems. If they do nothing at all it could be a number of issues such as: bad drive, cheap media, etc.

  • Is it possible to import a .pdf or .doc file into DVD studio Pro 4?

    When I finally finish my 2D animation for my Senior Project and finally make the DVD, I want to include the short story that the animation is based on to the DVD. I want to import it as .pdf or a .doc into DVD Studio Pro 4. What I want to know is, is if this is possible, or if is not, is there another acceptable file format that I can use if .pdf or .doc isn't possible?
    Message was edited by: obisgirl

    Techincally you can create a link to take it to the file... but there are so many different software DVD players that it doesnt work with 90% of them so its pointless..
    as for including your files on the DVD....
    First make sure your files are all in one folder called DVD Content or something like that so they know its in that location
    then in DVDSP at the top where all the icons are...
    hit build and format.
    in the general tab you will see...
    Disc
    Source
    DVD-ROM Data
    destination
    under DVD-ROM Data check the content box.
    Choose the folder you have all your files in.
    joliet extension support doesnt really matter but i always click it so that windows can identify better what file format it is.
    then continue building and formating.
    let me know if that works or if you run into an issue.
