DVD STudio Pro won't let me delete stills. has brought in ALL my stills

Hi all. In need: DVD Studio Pro won't let me delete STILLS from palette. The minus sign is greyed out even with control-click and shortcut menu. As a result, the program goes through ALL my photos when looking for a cover for my dvd. Makes it impossible to put pix on cover of DVD (when played).
I should be able to DELETE these folders with 1000s of photos! The manual says so but the minus sign still stays greyed.
Also, not sure how it imported all of these in first place? i am currently keeping photos in i-photo, so ....?
Do I need to wipe out the dvd-studio pro and replace. [Of course I am in Rome and don't have that disc!]
HELP if possible is much appreciated.
best,

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.

DVD Studio Pro2 does not let you turn off the subtitle in the DVD Player

Hello
When I create a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 2 with subtitles and I do not activate the VIEW option beside the Subtitle (in Advanced tab), it does not let me turn the off the subtitle in the DVD Player.
What could be the reason?
Thanks for your help
Christoph

Thanks for your interest to help me!
What I did in the three different language selection I selected the audio track and the subtitle.
But I did not select by any flag "View" = which would force it to play the subtitle.
Is there some where else where it has the force option to play always subtitles?
On the DVD Player I can change the subtitle but *not turn it off* by Mac, Win, and external Player.
Thanks and Greetings Christoph

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.

DVD Studio Pro locks up - crashes on selecting Format

I searched for this one but couldn't find anyone. having this problem. I believe it's Mountain Lion-related. Mountain Lion is not my friend. I just open the program, hit format and I get a spinning ball. Trashed preferences. This is starting to get me down.

I am very happy to report that DVD Studio Pro has been restored to health. It was an accident. I took someones advice on how to fix a sleep wake issue on the Mac Pro.
This is what I did.
1. Boot up holding down the CMD and R keys to get to Disk Utilities.
2. Run Repair Permissions.
3. Run Repair Disk.
4. Close out of the Disk Utilities and boot the machine.
5. Open the Finder. Hold down the Option key, choose GO from the menu and select LIBRARY.
6. From the Library drag the CACHE fold and the COOKIES folder to the trash.
7. Delete the trash.
Probably recognizable by many of you. This fixed sleep. It fixed DVD SP. Muxing/build and format. It also seems to have fixed problems with opening Toast 11, Squeeze 8.5, Compressor 3.5.3 and Disk Utility without locking up. The last group I mentioned has been very contentious. Want to test some more before a final verdict. It did not fix a skipped frames issue when monitoring BlackMagic audio in FCP 7.

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.

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 WON'T LET ME BURN

HI,
I'm trying to get help with this problem. It seems that the cash in DVD SP is filled up. It's not allowing me to burn any DVD's. It's telling me there's no room. But I don't know how to empty the files. i went into my HD's and emptied everything I could, old projects, but it's not freeing up any space. What should I do?
I would appreciate someone getting back to me.
Thanks so much.
Andy

Open DVDSP and go to the Preferences, Destinations tab. This will give you the path to your cache. I think the default is in the User Libeary>Caches>DVD Studio Pro
Don't be amazed if this doesn't do anything for you... in the 9-10 years I've been using DVDSP I've never seen this message and I've never emptied the cache.
This sounds to me like the error message we used to get when one of the drives in the system is very close to full. Even if it was not in use it would force the error unless you dismounted it.
If (when?) the error comes back, get a screen shot of it and post it here, please.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Michael, is this where you found your information the first time?

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.
