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 !
Yours trying to be helpful - Bengt W

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

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.

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 will not play

I usually like to wait a few months before updating, but I had an issue with a client and needed to get the new version of Premiere Pro CC.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 will not play in Source or Program. Clicking play button or spacebar causes play icon to change from start to stop, but nothing happens. I'm on a late 2012 iMac. i7 Processor. OSX 10.8.5

I'm Windows, but some saved Mac links to read that MAY help

I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play. I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play. Any help?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

My computer is authorized to play songs I have purchased, but songs still will not play. I tried to deauthorize and authorize again. I click on the song, I log in to authorize, Then it says "okay your computer is already authoized" So i click on the song, and it still doesn't play and keeps doing the same thing over and over again! I am getting so mad! Someone please help!

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.

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 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 "-"
Brand of the superdrive?
Which G5?

A duplicate DVD made on my iMac will not play on it although the original DVD will play on it and on my TV. Answers?

I made a duplicate of a DVD on my iMac but it will not play on it. The original DVD plays on my iMac. The duplicate will play on my DVD player with my TV. The original DVD is not a copyrighted commercial DVD.

That doesn't create a DVD. It makes a copy of the files on the DVD. All you did was put data files on the disk. A disk must be formatted correctly for a DVD player to recognize it as a DVD.
Use Disk Utility to make an image of the DVD, then burn the image to Disk.
File menu, New>Disk Image from <DVD name>
Set the image format to DVD/CD Master.
Once the image is finished, select it in the Disk Utility Sidebar and click the Burn button.

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

Garageband recognize USB MIDI device - Still will not play.

I am using the newest version of Garageband with Yamaha YPG 525 keyboard connected via USB as a MIDI controller. Drivers installed successfully. This is not my first Yamaha keyboard used with Garageband. This issue I'm having is that under System Preferences it shows the MIDI device connected but will not allow me to select as the "input" device. It shows up in the "Audio MIDI Setup" app, and I've selected the "Send All Notes On" under the Yamaha driver application listed in System preferences. It's getting very frustrating because clearly GB sees it's there but just refuses to make playing it an option. I have searched dozens of forums but cannot find someone having the same issue. Please help!

this is what i was looking for.
if anyone else has this issue:
audio midi setup > preferences > open specific winows.
(korg midi device is still not working in daw though. )

I have updated Flash Player but it still will not play videos etc. Any clues what i have to do?

I suddenly have troublewith playing videos on Firefox - and have uninstalled and reinstalled but still it will not work.
Any clues what else i need to do?

Which version of Flash did you reinstall? 
IE uses the ActiveX version, where other browsers need the Plugin version of Flash.
Here's the "drill" for installing Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe Adobe Flash - 32-bit Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
