Hi there,

You an probably find older copies of DVDSP on ebay. But the current version is available for purchase from apple only as part of the FC Suite.

  • Problems downloading the new DVD Studio Pro update.

    Hi Everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem/message when trying to download the new DVDSP update?;
    'You appear to have already downloaded the DVD Studio Pro update.'
    This also happened on the last updates that were released.
    There is a workaround that I know of that I had to use last time but it seems strange that this is occuring. Has anyone else had any issues with this update (or the last for that matter)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as Apple Tech would not help me because I am on a Volume Licence and the Apple Store that I purchased it through has not given me any help.
    Thanks
    Carlo

    I can get around this problem by using software update to download the updates and then use the downloaded file to update the machines but I would really like the ability to download the updates as a standalone dmg file.
    I am running 20 systems on an airport network that will freeze up if I do the updates online the best i can do is 3 at once to avoid serious lag.
    Being able to download them seperately was always my first choice so i could update the machines regardless of being conected to the net or not. The workaround that I am using only downloads the package file and it seems there is the possibility of them being corrupted or damaged over time (moving from server to drives to media to computers etc).
    I still want to know why it thinks I have downloaded them already, it doesn't make any sense.

  • Using a .WMV file in DVD Studio Pro

    Hello All,
    I'm so dangerously close to having this whole thing down, that the challenges are becoming excrutiatingly painful.
    I've completed my edit.
    I've exported my FCP edit to Quicktime.
    I've downloaded Flip4Mac
    I've exported a version of the FCP to a WMV file format.
    Now I want to import both assets (QT and WMV) to DVD Studio Pro. I'm trying to make it so there are two seperate versions on the DVD.
    As I attempt to link a button to the WMV file, I get the rainbow wheel turning, and it never stops.
    So, I guess there are a few questions:
    1. How can I force the rainbow wheel to quit. Until now, I've just shutoff the computer (not a good idea).
    2. Is it possible to combine the QT and WMV files on the same DVD?
    3. Am I totally confused?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    She can't play it on her PC, nor can I at home.
    Ussually it's a DVD player software matter. Windows Media Player is not intended for DVD playing. Did you use it when it failed? Try with the free and cross plataform VLC Player.

  • Motion 3, DVD Studio Pro 3, Compressor...fail to display interface

    Macbook Pro C2D, Leopard OS X 10.5.1. All apps were running perfectly before this happened...
    First, all the apps of Final Cut Studio 2 crashed on startup.
    I recall that the last thing I did is trashing the newly installed trail version Aperture.
    After checking the crashing log, I found the problem comes from Prokit.framework. I did a thorough search, the answer is quite clear that the Prokit.framework comes with Aperture 1.5.2 is a PPC version, it replaced the intel version that was in my OS. So the solution is replacing the PPC version back to Prokit for Intel. Finally I found some provided download links of Prokit for Intel. BUT..
    All the Prokit online are extracted with Pacifist from either Tiger OS disc or ProAppRuntime4.0.2.pkg(from apple's website). So they are either version 3.1 or version 4.0.2. After replacing my Prokit.framework with version 4.0.2, all my FCS 2 apps except Final Cut Pro (but Log and Transfer inside FCP 6) stopped crashing but failed to display any interface. But the icons are in the dock.
    So finally I cleaned up all the files related to Final Cut Studio 2 and Prokit.framework and did a fresh reinstallation of FCS 2.
    Same thing! No interface at all.
    At this point, I doubt if the Prokit.framework in Leopard OS disc is different. It's too bad that I'm traveling for a project and my Leopard DVD is not in hand. So I asked a friend using Pacifist to extract Prokit.framework and Browser.framework from his Leopard DVD and sent them over. Now I found that they are indeed different. The one from Leopard is version 4.1. I did a replace again. Now, Motion 3, DVD Studio Pro 3 and Compressor start up, but with black windows and a few images, and the menu bars are really weird. I guess I should install this two framework with Pacifist instead of replacing them with the extracted folders?
    The last resort I guess is to reinstall Leopard? My dilemma if I don't finish my project, I have no access to my OS DVD, but I need to use FCS 2 to finish the project.
    Has anyone run into the same situation? Any enlightenment will be appreciated!

    I have just installed Leopard ans having problems with DDVDSPRO crasshing, can you please expand on how i may install prokit.framework and Browerkit frame work with Pacifist. I am not an expert please bear in mind!!
    many thanks

  • DVD Studio Pro quits unexpectedly

    Here is the conversation I've had under OS X Mountain Lion that I was suggested to post under Final Cut Studio hoping someone might be able to help me here:
    Evren Aydogdu
    Nov 23, 2012 9:37 AM 
    Whenever I click on Font Panel button inside Preferences to change subtitle fonts, the wheel starts turning for a while until DVD SP shuts itself. It's the same with Menu Button and Text Fonts. There's no trouble with changing any other preferences though. Deleting DVD SP with all the preferences etc. and reinstalling it did not help either.
    I ignored this and created a project using the compressed mpeg2 media converted inside Compressor with DVD Best Quality 90 minutes. The media used was H264 PAL. Subtitles in the project are Belle-nuit graphic files and menus are PSD. It runs through fine until the end. After finishing all the build process, instead of completing, DVD SP 4.2.2 quits again which is not unexpected to me anymore after my 5th attempt.
    I begin to suspect if this may be a compatibility case as I have the most recent technology imac.
    Hoping that I made myself clear enough, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Maybe my story will help You...
    just after upgrade to Snow Leopard (new disk for system, users, settings and apps transferred from old system) DVD SP quits when i tryied to choose for example another location for my build.
    None of these standard task helped:
    repair permissions
    restart
    new user
    delete preferences
    reinstall DVDSP...
    And below is what has helped:
    1. Download ProKitUpdate7.0
    2. Download newest Pacifist
    3. Open package ProKitUpdate7.0 with Pacifist
    4. Install package ProKitUpdate7.0 with administrator privileges with reaplace option enabled for all.
    5. Restart Mac
    Now DVDSPro works as usual.

    Dec 13, 2012 12:56 AM (in response to mkubam)
    Thank you very much for your help and apologies for my late reply, I've been quite busy recently.
    The computer I'm using is newly bought iMac with OS X 10.8.2. A newer version of ProKitUpdate was already on my computer when I tried ProKitUpdate 7.0. Your solution doesn't seem to apply to mine but thank you for your kindness.
    But I didn't give up and deleted Final Cut Studio 3 completely with FCS Remover, did the verify and repair thing in safe boot mode and reinstalled FS3 again. It's still the same.
    I don't think there is anything I left out after reading all the web pages, searching all forums. If it doesn't get interfered by other installed programmes such as After Effects CS5.5 or Photoshop CS5.1, which I don't know how to find out, then it is the compatibility problem. I can't think of anything else. And in this case it was a big mistake buying the newest technology computer as I'm not willing to try out Final Cut Pro X and learn another DVD authoring programme.

    If you have a font problem, this tip may help.

    I would be optimistic that this will get sorted out OK. Many people are successfully running FCS3 on ML.

  • DVD STUDIO PRO 2 SETUP/CONFIG

    Hey Gang,
    New to this forum and I need some advice.
    I have DVD Studio Pro 2 and have just downloaded the updates from the Pro download page (DVDSP 2.05, etc).
    I'm running OSX 10.2.8, w/768Ram, 60gb free HD space.
    iMovie 4.01 (I have FCP 2.X but never used it)
    Quicktime 6.5.2
    I would appreciate any suggestions on maximizing my system for DVDSP 2 with the above specs.
    I have owned this product for years (just found the time to get into the manuals, tutorials etc. to learn it) and I would like the learning process to be as smooth as possible.
    Is trying to get an upgrade to DVDSP 3 worth the hassle plus the expense?
    I'm not much of a geek and have little time to experiment, so I plan on upgrading my system when High Definiton is or about to become the De Facto standard and the prices for all the necessary gear (software/hardware) have come down and/or improved. Right now I would like to work with what I have if possible.
    Hopefully this time next year I'll be ready to move up to the Studio pkg. with a new system.
    Thanks

    I don't know the answer to your question, however, it may be to your advantage to post a new topic.
    1.)When you first enter the DVD Studio forum at the top left of the screen you'll see Forum: DVD STUDIO Pro in bold letters
    2.)Underneath that you'll see "post new topic".
    3.)Click and you can create your own topic/thread [B}Sending DVD Studio Pro audio to Sountrack Pro
    4.)Be sure to state what version of DVDSP you're using.
    5.)then members will reply to your specific question/problem.
    PS: I'm in the same boat as you (seeking info). I'm still waiting for someone to provide me with info regarding DVD Studio pro 2.

  • Upgrade dvd studio pro 3.0---- 3.02

    I bought DVD Studio Pro 3.0 on eBay and tried updating to version 3.02 from the Apple download site. They asked for the serial number, which I gave (registration?). However, no more action was seen, I was left with a blank screen with "thank you" on top. What went wrong?

    The solution is always simple (most cases).
    After closing the "Thank you" screen, I started up the application dvd studio pro 3 and asked for updates. This time all available updates came up, the latest iTunes, dvd studio pro 3.02 and compressor update. Before registration only the iTunes update was displayed.
    General clue: update is not directed from the download side. That's why, I think, there is a notation "form" in place. I guess this means "registration form". Your suggestion was in a way helpful, thank you.
    How about registration? When I'm going to sell dvd studio pro 3 in the future, is the update 3.02 still available to a new buyer?

  • Any Mac alternatives to DVD Studio PRO 4

    Are there any Mac alternatives to DVD Studio PRO 4.
    Well, besides iDVD.   It seems like many are switching to Windows to author DVDs and Blu-ray's.  I'd rather not do that.  Any suggestions?

    The only Mac alternative at that level is Adobe Encore. It is no longer being developed but continues to be supported, To get it you need to subscribe to the Premiere Creative Cloud product. Encore is a separate download.

  • Sharing a dvd studio pro project

    I have a co-worker that recently move to the United States. He works independent for the same company that I am working. We both use Final Cut Studio for our work and it is easy if we both have the same projects with the same raw video so he can do a part and I do other. Now we have complicated because he can't send any project from dvd studio pro so I can open and work with it. DVD Studio Pro is different from final cut pro that you can send the project through e-mail and if the person that try to open it has the same raw video in the same folders that you have it (THE PROJECT CAN BE OPENED) this does not work wit DVD Studio Pro.

    Welcome to the discussions.
    It does work, but if you have any assets in DVDSP then the person receiving may have to re-link them when they open your file. I know it works because just about every example project I (and others) create is offered for download and you can open them and see how I have set things up. If they couldn't be opened then there would certainly be an issue in sending them around.
    You need to make sure that the folder where you save the project file also contains the various folders of assets. If you do this, and save the project file from inside DVDSP to the correct place, then the links to the assets are saved as well and the project file will open without a fuss.
    When sending DVDSP projects around the world it is also sensible to use 'dummy' assets and get the structure right using those before replacing them with full quality assets. I tend to use .pict images in tracks to represent footage, leave out the audio (unless it is small and important to the example) and send like that.

  • Will DVD studio Pro convert Real Media

    I have some real media clips and I want to convert them and burn them to DVD. Will DVD studio Pro convert them. IF they will how long will it take for 50 mins of video. Thanks

    To convert RealVideo you will need to download a shareware tool named ffmpegX located at http://www.ffmpegx.com
    When you venture down this path get your favorite beverage, and make sure you have plenty of time to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
    On the download page near the bottom you find will instructions and links that will eventually lead you to the libraries you need for RealVideo which have to be downloaded separately.
    Once you d/l them, locate your ffmpegX support folder located at:
    systemHD>Library>ApplicationSupport>ffmpegX
    and install the libraries
    You will then be able to convert RealVideo using the mencoder to something that's useable in DVDSP or FCP.
    I have had extremely good results to date. Basically same old story... garbage in, garbage out. if the RealVideo is good or excellent quality you will get like results!
    Hope this helps! Post back.

  • DVD Studio Pro overriding Energy Saving Settings - Screen always on

    Hello
    I am a bit upset about DVD Studio Pro overriding the energy saving settings. It means if you do a serious render you will find yourself with the monitor on for hours and days. On the Imacs you can't even fully dim down the screen to switch it of manually.
    I know about the possibility to do a background render. But it doesn't make sense to me that DVD Studio keeps the screen on. I don't see why I have to go crooked ways to have something very normal.
    There is no need for DVD studio behaving like this, it only raises energy consumption unnecessarily.
    I hope Apple will fix this or explain in reasonable ways why it does like this.
    And is there maybe a way to hack DVD Studio in a way it doesn't behave like this, apart from doing the background render?
    Thanks

  • Exporting Subtitle from DVD Studio Pro

    Is there a way to export subtitles from DVD Studio Pro or Is there a tool somewhere that will generate an STL file from a DVD Studio Pro subtitle stream?
    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, other than the manual -- which I have exhausted. It gave me the coding for a text-based caption, and the coding for a graphic, but not the coding that would put both on the same clip (same time value).
    However, I can manually go into the subtitle inspector and add whatever element (the text or the graphic) each with its own offsets, and have them appear flawlessly together. I am convinced there must be coding that generates this effect I can use in the STL file, but I have found nothing on the web, nor any of several downloaded manuals (including pp. 456 - 460).
    Any advice?
