DVD Studio Pro DVD won't play in DVD player

I created a movie in Final Cut Pro 7, sent it to Compressor, and created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro.  When I try to play the DVD on my DVD player it says that it "can't play the disc."  The movie files from Compressor are "Sequence 1- Dolby Digital Professional 2.0.ac3" and "Sequence 1-MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass.m2v."  The project is set to SD DVD, being put on DVD+R discs, and I haven't had any warnings in the Log while creating the DVDs.
I've tried just using the "burn" button and also using "build & format" but neither work.  It will play on my Macbook, but I need it to play on the DVD player.  I also need to burn about 30 working discs in the next two days.  Please Help!!!!

You need to start a new DVDSP project for the setting to change from HD to SD.
Good luck.

  • MP4 H.264 video won't play in Flash Player

    I am using a Mac Book, OS X 10.8.5; FireFox 32.0.1; Flash Player 16.0.0.305.  I am trying to play video (MP4 H.264 format) that works on VLC, Quicktime Player & Real Player but won't play through Flash Player.  Why?

    I'll take a look at the GPL sources to see how the firmware encodes the video output, I think the mpeg encoder might be built into the firmware's Linux kernel (instead of a stand-alone encoder program), I see references to the IBM mpeg2 headers but I'm not sure. But honestly addressing this possible bug is not the first thing on my todo list, but I do fidn this report interesting enough to merit investigation. 
    May I ask what you are using for the Samba server (aka windows shares)? Do you use your desktop PC, or perhaps a NAS server? 
    As an interim thing to try, I advice you install VLC media player to view the files, or to use VLC to examine the media files properties to see what you can findout. 
    IF you must use Windows media player, then I suggest you look into the combine community codex package.

  • Dvd studio pro 4 won't write disc? it just says there was an error during encoding over and over again...

    It just says that there was an error encoding over and over again. It is version 4.2.2 It said the software required a dvd- which i used... I've tried just backing up the video to a disc not using studio pro but my computer won't do it? Any suggestions?

    David's right.  Do the encode in compressor and bring the resulting m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) into dvdsp.  Then do an advanced burn:  build in dvdsp  and test the build using the mac dvdplayer to play the video_ts folder you've created.   Just go to file:  Open DVD Media and point to the build folder or the video_ts folder within it.  If this works, your dvd burner is probably the problem.  You can buy an external burner for not a lot of money.  Apple sells one, and you can even get cheaper ones than that.

  • DVD Studio Pro Document won't open.

    I have been working on a DVD menu in DVD Studio Pro. Every time I quit the project and open it up again it gives me the message that the document could not be opened. I have version 4.1.2. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.6. I have tried using DiskWarrior and reinstalling DVD Studio Pro. I have tried deleting the preferences but for some reasons when I go to harddrive then to Library, then to preferences there is no DVD studio pro preferences. The menu is pretty complex is includes Play, Producer's notes, Chapters, and Crew. Crew has 9 different menus. If there is anybody that knows how to fix this problem please reply. I don't want to do just do it all in one sitting which takes 3 hours. Thank you.

    Funny name.
    Is this your first DVDSP production?
    Reinstalling Apple software almost never solves anything.
    DiskWarrior only rebuilds a drive's directories and will not help in this situation, waste of time.
    ore valuable, if DW doesn't do it for you is to repair permissions on the system drive.
    Your prefs may be in another library, look in your user library and search for .plist using Spotlight set to include invisible files,.
    Welcome to the family.
    Does the file have a DVDSP icon on it? The proper extension? What happens if you right click on it and select DVDSP form the list of apps?
    Try using Google to search for the error message, sometimes that turns up remarkably rich documentation from other users or from Apple's knowledge base articles.
    Give us a few days, someone may drop in but traffic can be light on DVDSP forum.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 won't open Version 3 files

    Any ideas? It asks me if I would like to update the project, I say yes, it starts to load the project and then either tells me that the project could not be opened or opens something up with nothing there, no open windows, just the DVD Studio Pro bar at the top of the screen,
    thanks,

    All the assets are there, and when the project is loading the script under the bar passes the loading assests bit no problem but nothing actually loads, F3 doesn't bring up anything.

  • DVD Studio Pro 2 Won't let me burn DVDs

    I've finished my project and it looks good. I even ran it through the simulator and everything checks out. However, when I go to burn it to DVD (4.7 GB), I get a dialog box that says that I need to insert a DVD, even though one is already in. Then I get another dialog box that tells me that the disc could not be burned because the drive could not be located...? Each time I attempt to burn the DVD, the disc gets automatically ejected by my computer when these dialog boxes pop up
    How do I locate a drive that I can burn the disc in? What's the process for this? Is there another step that I must take before I can get to this process. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 2 and I have a mac mini with a superdrive. Please walk me through the process step-by-step. Thanks.

    Which blank brand media are you using?
    Also is it -R or +R?

  • 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?

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

  • DVD won't play in ordinary player

    Hi,
    I'm quite new to the whole process of creating DVDs, so I tried using iDVD but it's a terrible program so Iäm trying to use DVD Studio Pro without knowing much about it. I've burned a DVD using it and it won't play on an ordinary player. It simulates fine in DVD Studio, and it plays back fine on the computer, but simply doesn't register in any DVD player. Can anyone suggest any reason why this might be the case?
    Thank you all in advance for your help!
    Kinkersnick

    Thank you for such a quick reply! Ok, so here's a bit more information. The DVD is actually only a single video (of about 60 mins.) which has the first play set to it - the little disc with play arrow on it in the graphical display. The disc is an SD DVD not an HD DVD (first, and only, thing I thought would be the problem). Here is a copy of the burning details:
    Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
    Warning: The file ‘WIMWENDERS.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
    Start formatting
    Formatting as Standard DVD
    Simulation mode is off
    Lossless linking is on
    Number of layers is 1
    Doing side 1 of 1
    Playable in region 1,2,3,4,5,6,8
    Disc size is 12 cm
    Disc has no copyright material
    I don't know if any of this is relevant though. I#m confused as to what the two errors at the beginning mean... perhaps they have something to do with the problem???
    The media used is DVD-R and has been tried in 3 different players, all relatively new, which suggests to me it's unlikely to be the media.
    I'm at a total loss here, so I would appreciate any and all help!
    Thanks in advance,

  • Burned DVD won't play on outside player but OK with Toast

    Here we go again!
    After scanning the other posts I still cannot find anything to make my problem go away.
    Situation: New G5 Quad and all of HD Suite installed.
    Have gone through DVDPro advanced tutorial OK.
    Burned to Memorex DVD-R media.
    Plays great on G5, and a G3 that I still have, with DVD Player app.
    But after trying disc on 3 different outside players they still come up with "unreadable disk" or "bad disk".
    Players are relatively new - one mf'd within the last year in a TV combo, and the other, my favorite, Apex AD1200.
    I figure if something will play on ANY machine, it will play on the Apex.
    I have burned the same file to Toast 7 using the DVD Video from VIDEO_TS option and have been able to play it on my Apex with no problem.
    However, inserting this "Toasted" disk into my computer gets me everything except the audio.
    I have talked to Support and they do not cover this problem, but pointed me to a page on the Apple website for deleting preferences, which I have done with no effect, and have done a clean re-install of the application, again with no change in what I am getting when re-burning disks.
    Anyone have any ideas as to what needs to be done to make this application work properly?

    GENTLEMEN -
    I posted this to the BMUG website subsequent to chasing down the suggestions offered at that time.
    So far the response has been ZERO . . .
    At the March 20 meeting I brought up my problems with selecting the correct media for burning my DVD Pro files so that they would play well across a range of dvd players out in the real world - approaching what you expect when you buy a commercially produced DVD movie.
    I’m running the G5 Quad, and have the Final Cut Studio HD package.
    I am simply looking for some guidance from Apple. Is there a favorite media that has been settled on by Apple, or Apple employees by word of mouth?
    One of the attendees stated that he had no problems with his machine or disks that he produced. I wish to communicate with him as to exactly what he is doing and what he is using to be problem-free.
    Another attendee suggested I contact the drive manufacturer and ask what media they recommend. Problem is, there is nothing in the Apple profiler that tells me who manufactured this drive. All I can glean from my profiler is the model number, which is HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B. Other forums suggest it is a Hitachi. My own investigation yields the probable manufacturer as LG Electronics. They do not show that EXACT model number (the last 4 digits are slightly different) in their lineup, so I am assuming it is a special build for Apple. So much for that line of inquiry.
    I initially used DVD-R media. This played back OK on my computer DVD player, and about 2 out of 15 other DVD players I sampled. Using the same media and file, I burned a disk using Toast 7 on the superdrive. It played fine on three players it did not play on before. I only used the ones that I had immediate access to.
    When I switched to 2 different DVD+R media I got the same results as the “Toasted” -R disk.
    Why is it OK with Toast on the superdrive, but not with DVDPro on the superdrive???
    There is no question about the correctness of the file itself. It is the completed Advanced Tutorial for DVD Pro.
    I cannot proceed with projects I have until I can be certain that I am not producing coasters for the majority of the dvd readers out in the real world. I purchased all this gear just so that I could do what it promises can be done with it.
    Some answers.
    Please.

  • Premier Pro CC won't play / render audio or video after today's update

    Foolishly I allowed CC to update my software ( CC 2014.2 )  and now it won't play or render video or audio.  It will allow me to scrub through and see the video, but the play button just turns to a square and does nothing..  Trying to render anything does even less.
    This behavior can be repeated in both in the source window, as well as the program window when I scrub the timeline.
    Premier Pro worked fine yesterday, with the same files.  I booted onto a back up drive that had my old CC program cloned...  And it still works fine..    I think it's safe to eliminate hardware issues as well as file / file types...
    I have deleted the Premier Pro app and reinstalled, I have reset the preferences, I have dumped the media cache.
    I have tried to set up new files, both on the internal hard drive, as well as an external...  ( both work fine with the old system backup )
    Still the same NON results...

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't play imported files even after changing format, etc?

    Camera: Canon Legria HFM41
    Video file format: MTS (1920 x 1080)
    For the past few days I've been trying to understand why my video files won't play in Premiere, I'll import them, and when I press play the audio will work, but the video will play smoothly for only a few seconds then stop, skipping frames/slowing the speed of the video - I've read a lot of these forums on similar issues, then I tried converting the format to avi/mp4 and they still won't play smoothly when importing to Premiere Pro.. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong/how to solve this.. Thank you!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Won't Play Anything Without Stopping

    I have captured HDV and DV footage and Premiere won't play anything. Not in the Source monitor, not in the Timeline/Program Monitor. It won't even play a color matte or bars and tone. It will play for less than a second, stop and the marker will go back to the original starting point.
    I am running PPro on a Macbook Core 2 Duo and the footage is fine. I can play it outside of Premiere in other programs but I cannot figure anything out inside of Premiere. Its fully updated and everything.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Rod,
    After some hardcore Googling and some nifty search tricks, I found I wasn't the only one. I found this thread where people were having the exact same problem:

    I did what someone else said where I enabled the root user, logged into that account, loaded Premiere and changed the Audio Hardware to System Default. I then went back to my user account and loaded the project file I was working in. Everything works great now. Thank god.

  • Final Cut Pro Audio won't play

    I am making a slideshow with final cut, and every now and then I run into a song that won't play audio. I looked at the audio levels on the clip and they just aren't there. The music will go into final cut from itunes, but the actual audio isn't there. It works well when I play the song (in Itunes, or out of the final cut music and sound menu), but not when it is in the video. This only happens for a few songs though, any help??????

    Hi Druw77
    I have had that for months and months , I have found now a quick way to get around it, but it's not a solution is to press cmd f12 at the same time and then hit render again. I should get you around the problem for awhile but I suspect you need to reboot the software as i have done on many occasions!
    Sorry no one has helped me with the solution has yet and seems to be a problem with a few editors I know as well.

  • Duplicate CD Won't Play in CD Player

    Hi,
    I am trying to make a back up copy of my CD's and they won't play in a regular CD player. Please tell me what am I doing wrong?
    I am using Disk Utility. First I select the disc in the drive. Go to "File" then "New" then "Disk Image from folder" Hit "Image" and it saves the disc image to my folder.
    Then I insert a blank disc, select the file and hit "Burn". Disc Utility burns and verifies the disc. I load the disc into my player, but all I have is silence.
    There is only one track on the burned cd.
    What's wrong? Can't I make copies of discs on a Mac? This was easier on the PC for sure.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Well, I've used Toast since version 8, when I got it back in 2006. It's always been faster at creating DVDs than iDVD, more reliable for burning CDs than iTunes, and comparable to Disk Utility and Mac's native Burn Utility for data and software burns.
    As has been pointed out here, you can't always rely on support forums for a product review, because the people who have no problems with it, aren't posting there. You don't find folks bragging about their health in the Emergency room... not nearly like you would at the gym.

  • Burned CDs won't play on portable player

    My friend who has a PC has been burning CDs for me of spoken-word MP3s. They play fine on my portable CD player. Recently she gave me a USB drive with a bunch of MP3s for me to burn myself on my new MacBook Pro. The CDs I burned won't play on the CD player (but they will play in iTunes on my computer). I don't understand what's going on...can anyone help out? Thanks.

    Yes, if your interest is only in burning CDs and you don't want to keep the music in iTunes, the process is pretty cumbersome. You may want to buy a disc burning application like Toast, which can burn all sorts of formats without your needing to import anything into iTunes.
