DVD Studio Pro dvd not working in dvd player

Hi There,
I'd really appreciate your help.
I've burnt a dvd using DVD SP - it reads 'formatting succesful' and ejects the disk.
It works on my mac but not on my dvd player - it reads 'disk error'.
Here's the thing: I've burnt it with ToastTitanium and it works on my dvd player.
So it's not the dvds I'm using that's the problem.
I've checked other forums and I've unchecked the box 'lossless linking' - still not working.
I'm desperate.
Please help.
Sean

Hey Mate,
Merry Christmas!
Just to be clear, here is a screenshot with a new project with no media, no template, no first play set etc...
And as you can see DVD Standard is greyed out.
Bizarre...

Dvd Studio Pro Serial Not Working

Hi all,I recently had to replace my late 2005 G5 Powermac due to its inconsistency in powering up.
Cutting the story short,I bought a second hand PowerMac which Ive been using for the past months with no problems,I re installed my Original compy of Final Cut Studio and everything seems to work fine,oly today Ive tried to burn a project on DVD with DVD Studio Pro 4 and it will not accept my original serial !
Ive already tried deleting the FInal Cut System ID and reinserting the serial but no luck.
Anyone had this problem before ? If not ,how could I claim Apple ?after all the original suite cost me back in its day around 1000euros.
Thanks

Thats the version I have on my laptop,sorry !
Well, there never was a Final Cut Studio 9. So I'm still confused. What version is listed on your disk?
DVD SP shouldn't be asking for a serial number if the FCS suite was correctly installed.
Download this utility and remove DVDSP (it will ensure that you get all the associated files). Reinstall from the install disks. Then run Software Update repeatedly until there is nothing more listed. Repair permissions in Disk Utility and launch DVDSP.
I wouldn't be surprised if this fails to cure the problem. If it doesn't work, repeat the process and uninstall the entire suite, running Software Update, and so forth.

DVD Studio Pro does not work on Mavericks

Is there a way to install Mountain Lion on a partition I created? I made a 101GB partition on my 750GB H/D. I tried holding the C button down on starup but all I got was the panic screen telling me I had to shut down again. Am I doing something wrong or is there another solution that is eluding me? I want to regain full functionality of DVD Studion Pro, that I lost when I installed Mavericks.

I have no such issues on my systems, we burn lots of DVDs. Description suggests something wrong with your DVD drive not the software or OS since neither Eric nor I can duplicate your problem.

Dvd studio pro does not burn readable dvds on other platforms

I have DVDSP 4.1.2 and always used it to create DVD with content.
Now after I upgrade to 10.6.4, I can burn DVDs but they are not readable on other platforms (PC or DVD Players).
Thank you

Buttons work in DVD Studio Pro, but not in DVD Player. Why?

I recently upgraded I movie I made to Dual layer disk. I had already built one for a standard 4.7 dvd but now I was putting on a director's commentary so I need more space. So I opened up the original DVD Studio Pro project, thats worked fine for over a year, then saved it as "director's commentary", then simply changed the settings for a Dual Layer. In DSP the buttons on the first menu work fine. But when I build it and open it up in DVD Player the buttons dont activate. Even when you roll over them there is nothing there.
Whats happening?

You can find information on Reader Extensions on the developer center: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/livecycle/readerextensions/devcenter.html
For help with the buttons to navigate, go into Designer help and search for "Attaching a database script to a button" (without the quotes) and this should provide you with the information that you need.

Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer?

Why do my dvds that i made in dvd studio pro don't work in a dvd player or a windows computer? I tried everything, and I watched so many tutorials after not succeeding. I read in another forum that it is common. Please help. I have already used about 20 discs trying to figure out what is wrong.

>Can you please tell me again what the software is for me to convert the files from a DVD in order for me to edit the footage in Final Cut Pro?

DVD Studio Pro 4 USE WITH EXTERNAL DVD BURNER??

Hello
Looking at buying DVD Studio Pro 4 for my mini but apple have just stated it will not install unless my machine has a superdrive. We've got an external firewire DVD burner and i've read mention of other versions of DVD Studio burning through externals so how come we carnt use DVD Studio Pro 4 with an external DVD burner?
Has anyone tried an external DVD burner with DVD Studio Pro 4 ?
Cheers

This issue isn't external drives, it's the mini, and installing the program.
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/dvdstudiopro/specs.html
The specs do not seem to require an internal superdrive.

DVD Studio Pro no longer works with the new iMac. Solutions?

Disc installations in general don't exist anymore and DVD Studio Pro is no longer supported in the new iMac that we have at our office. I used to have Roxio's Toast Titanium as a backup burner, but even that is not supported past mac OS 10.7. Final Cut X has the option to export straight to DVD but the menu options it gives you is so basic it doesn't even look professional. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they are using now to burn a professional looking DVD. Many thanks

mlaughbaum,
It seems as though you and I are on the same page struggling. Were you able to find any alternatives to DVDSP or any way to continue using it?
On-Site Video
I'm considering myself lucky... Though I was unable to install either DVDSP and FCP v.6 on my new iMac, they are both still working on my older iMac even though it too is running ML. I believe this is because I upgraded to ML from Leopard with both already installed.
My only suggestion would be to install Leopard (or the OS on which they were working for you), install FCP, DVDSP and compressor, and then upgrade to ML. Seems like a silly solution but I have a feeling it would work. I'm not doing it because it's working on the iMac that's closest to my DVD duplicator. That said, if I had to, I believe that's what I'd try.
Really infuriates me. My business depends on DVD sales and there really isn't another cost effective DVD authoring solution for the mac out there.
I do wish you the best of luck and would love to hear if you come up with a better solution.

DVD studio pro will not burn menus PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
I have created a project, a DVD with menus and subtitles in 2 languages, yet when I burn the DVD (both using build/format option and build format options separately)the resulting DVD has no main menu, actually it has no menus at all! it goes straight into the DVD film where I can change subtitles language only from the remote buttons. The project compiles successfully but once formatting it gives me two hilghlighted errors in the log (which I gather are the layouts/menus)HERE IS THE LOG (highlighted part is error message):

I have burned another project with menus succesfully..

Hi
FIRST check that your Play Movie button in your menu has NOT an Auto Action selected that make it plays automatically your movie when the Menu loads. You'll find that setting in the Advanced tab of Inspector. If not . . .
You can try a workaround, no matter that if you have your Menu as First Play it must work. Try yhis:
- Create a simple black JPG file i.e. in Photoshop
- Create a Slideshow
- Add a the JPG to the slideshow, set duration 2 secs
- Set the Slideshow as First Play
- Set Slideshow End Jump to your Main Menu
Build and burn again.

Do DVD Studio Pro 2 templates work in 4?

Hi,
I own a version of DVD Studio Pro 2, but was wondering if I bought 4, would these old templates still show up and work in it?

To get 4 you would need the whole Studio and usually it is a good idea to do a clean install of everything. You can move the DVD SP templates off and see if they work. I do not remember which ones carried forward at this time, but DVD SP 4 has many templates and I think they are pretty much the same.
I see you are using an Intel Mac, so heads up DVD SP 2 is not Universal Binary so if you run into issues that could be the problem. Same for the OS you are running.
Is there a reason you want to upgrade to 4? The upgrades and collection of software in the new Studio are a good jump if you are running older versions. (Motion Final Cut etc.)

DVD Studio Pro will not burn DVD in Lacie D2 External DVD Burner

I ordered a new pack of DVD's. These are the Beall 16x DVD's I bought from Meritline.com. I had been using the 8x Beall's with no problem. I was told that my interal drive was not compatable with the faster burning DVDs. So I bought a LaCie D2 External DVD burner 16x. I still can't burn a dvd in dvd studio pro. I tried Patchburn. It said that this burner is already supported.
I am using DVD Studio Pro 2.
Any ideas?

Have you tried burning on other types of brands when burning to your external LaCie? My company bought a NEC external DL burner and it only worked with some type of discs, Maxell DVD+R DL worked but Traxdata DVD+R DL and some other Noname disc didnt work, maybe try that?

DVD Studio Pro will not recogise my chapter markers!!!

When I export my Quicktime movie from Final cut, I include the DVD Studio Pro markers.
However, when it gets into DVD Studio Pro, it does not recognise them at all.
I tried in vain to go back to Final Cut Pro and export the markers "as a text file" but could not find anywhere to do that. I looked at XML exporting but that did not work either!
How can you get Final Cut Pro to just export chapter markers.
Help!

You might also try right-clicking on the mpeg in the track in DVDSP and choosing "add embedded markers". I think I remember noticing that markers did not necessarily import automatically when adding an mpeg to a track, if there were any markers already in that track (with the exception of the un-deletable first one).
There is also an option in the Compressor preset, in the Encoder pane of the Inspector, under Extras, where the inclusion of markers can be checked on or off. If you are exporting to a Quicktime movie before importing to Compressor, you should be able to see the markers in the preview window by choosing to show them from the markers dropdown to the right of the Compressor preview window's scrubber bar.
Hope this helps.

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 will not load videos

Hello,
Ever since I upgraded the latest Quicktime Update I cannot load video assets into DVD Studio Pro. The program keeps locking up.
I have deleted my DVD Studio Pro preferences several times with no success.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Mike Kommersmith

When you try to load video assets from the palette, the spinning ball just comes up. I didnt leave it that long before force quiting. But the poster left if for an hour.
I'm using final cut studio. But it all happened on my imac and macbook pro right after the quicktime upgrade.
I did find a work around, which I posted above. Instead of importing thru the palette, just import by clicking file / import/ asset. But the heck would cause the palette to lock up like that? When you force quit dvd studio it says "not responding" next to the program name. I've tried all different video files on my desktop, one at a time. But I dont think the program even gets that far, it just locks up as soon as you hit the palette area of the screen.
I can import audio, stills ,etc without a problem.
I'm just amazed that noone else ran into this problem yet.

Animations, Themes in DVD Studio Pro 2 Stopped Working! HELP!

Hey All,
I upgraded to 10.4 and did all the necessary updates, including pro app support. now DVD Studio Pro 2 is no longer displaying any type of Animation. Whether it is a movie file or Theme Animation, all I get is a black screen in preview, Canvas and Final Burn. It has totally hindered my ability to create any type of animated menus. I've checked DVDSP2's packages and all the movie files are there and work fine in QT but not in DVDSP2. I need some serious DVDSP2 genius to help!
Thanks!

I wasn't going to say anything, but, some people on these boards, (having simalar issues) had to wipe there drives and reinstall, before everything went back to normal.
I just didn't want to have you go that far, unless everything else failed and it's beginning to look that way.
I personally, when a major upgrade to the OS occurs, wipe my drive, just so there is no strange behavior with my application and gives me a chance get rid of all the unseen trash in the background, (that can cause problems) which are invisible to the user, (I do this about once a year.)

HD DVD Authored in DVD Studio Pro does not play - any suggestions?

so i've built a hd dvd in dvd studio pro. here's the odd thing. once built, the hd dvd files sitting on a folder on my hard drive can be played by dvd player. but when i burn these files onto a disk using toast, the apple dvd player can't play them. and they don't play on any of my dvd players either. anyone ever run into this problem?

HD DVD required UDF 2.5. Not sure if Toast supports that. Burn with DVDSP instead. HD DVD required an HD DVD player as well.
