DVD Studio Pro & LION

Just upgraded to Lion and opened DVD Studio Pro Project. It gives me all kinds of pop up boxes...."do you want to save the project". When I went to burn the disk the tray for my super drive opens then when I put disk in and close it DVD Studio Pro locks up. I have to force quit. Then I have to Restart computer to eject disk. Is Lion compatible with DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2

How did you install the Final Cut Studio apps?
Did you use the original disks or migrate from an older machine?

Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.
Edit: Found it... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21416133#21416133 read the second post.

Lion kills SoundTrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and Color

After installing Lion on my cloned boot drive FCP 7.0.3 runs but SoundTrack pro, DVD Studio Pro and Color return an error message indicating Lion can't run PowerPC programs. They also have a white slashed circle over them indicating they aren't compatible.
This wasn't a widely advertised restriction of Lion prior to its release.
I'm thankful I have a fully operating Snow Leopard installation.

I don't know why you would have the PowerPC-only versions installed on an intel machine? It's very weird, because they should be Universal. This may mean that you were running those apps using Rosetta under Snow Leopard, but Rosetta isn't installed with Lion. You should just re-install from the FCS3 DVD and the proper Intel versions will be placed in your Applications folder.
I just launched every FCS3 app under Lion and they all work fine, except for Cinema Tools (which unexpectedly quit.)

Does DVD Studio Pro 4 Work In Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3 ?

I have an older version of "DVD Studio Pro 4" which I have never installed, an would be curious to know if it will run on OSX 10.8.3 (Mountain LIon)? I have a new 2013 iMac that I am loading up with software, and would like to consider loading the "DVD Studio Pro 4".
I'd also be interested in knowing of any DVD Studio Pro 4 updates (if any) and where to get them, including the 4.0.2 update ... as, unfortunately the Apple site has dropped update support for this program.
Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Russ:
Well, evidently "DVD Studio Pro 4" won't install on an Intel iMac.
Attached (below) is a "screen grab" of the unexpected pop-up window I was first presented with, when I tried to use the DVD Studio Pro 4 Installer .mpkg.
DVD Studio Pro 4
Minimum Hardware Requirements
• A Macintosh computer with a 733 megahertz (MHz) or faster
   PowerPC G4 or G5 processor (G5 required for HD authoring
   and playback)
• 8 megabytes (MB) of video memory (32 MB recommended)
• 512 MB of RAM (1 GB required for HD)
• AGP Quartz Extreme graphics card
DVD Studio Pro 4
Minimum Software Requirements
• Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
• QuickTime 7.0 or later
Nuts! I really wanted to install and use this application.
PS: Just curious Russ .... how are you able to run "DVD Studio Pro 4" on your MBP with 10.7? Is the MBP Intel? Can you tell me the "version" of "DVD Studio Pro 4" that you have installed?
Was there an Intel version made of "DVD Studio Pro 4" that I don't know about?

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:

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.

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

i recently purchased final cut pro 7 from a store, and it came with Dvd studio pro, wich is what i was mainly needing, cuz i bought final cut pro x already, butwhen i upgraded to Lion, DVDSP does not work, it says that it does not support PowerPC applications. what does this mean? and why does it not work on Lion?

I just burned a dvd in DVDSP on My MBP yesterday with Lion Installed. FCS3 Is a ppc/intel unversal program it should work fine... Did you try updating under the apple menu?

DVD Studio Pro 4 (a stand alone product)? Need advice purchasing BD authoring software

According to Wiki, DVD STUDIO PRO-4 came with the "creative suite" that was discontinued by Apple in 2006.
In 2003-2005 I used DVD Studio Pro-2. That was THEN.
Now I have now an overkill PowerMac G5, FCPX, and Compressor-4.   My question is what software can I purchase that will burn BLU-RAY disks and give me some menues like DVD Studio Pro?
Thanks
-Dale

Okay, I remember the days back in 2003 when using FCP4, DVD Studio2, and Compressor2 there was lots of hoopla about creating great videos -- then (at that time) Apple had no respectable DVD player software -- now (Lion) has DVD player.
In like manner, we have all this hoopla about FCPX, Compressor4, Motion5 --- and no Blu-Ray (BD) authoring software.   If Apple is worth its salt and has their marketing folks read these forums, seems like SOMEBODY would finally GET IT.   This is like building a Rolls Royce without a muffler.
Well, I've answered my own question.   I purchased TOAST-11 to read MTS files to discover it also authors BD. By clicking "create BD disk" you'll be prompted to purchase & download a $20 plugin.   Does a GREAT job with menus. Just drag your video & audio files (from compressor) and that's it.
BTY- all the "stink" around FCPX about not being able to import MTS files from disk (this is like building a Ferrari without a gas tank). Tom W gave a great suggestion to use a product called CLIPWRAP ($50). So I bought it (converts MTS to MOV without data loss).

Is it still possible to find DVD Studio Pro?

I'd like to get a copy of DVD Studio Pro. Some questions:
Is it still possible to find it?
Will it run in Mountain Lion?
It looks like version 4 was the last one. Since it came with multiple versions of Final Cut Studio, how far back can I go and still get the disc to load on my Mac?
It will allow for closed-captioning?
If I have mutiple video clips listed in the menu, will DVDSP allow for continuous play through all the clips?
Thanks for your help!

1. Yes. Check ebay, craigslist or other used outlet.
2. Some say yes, others have had trouble.
3. I'd recommend getting the latest version you can find. That would be Final Cut Studio 3, also known as Final Cut Studio 2009.
4. As long as the captions are embedded in line 21 of the vertical blanking interval (NTSC) of the video track, yes. You can also add sutitles in DVD SP.
5. Yes, if authored correctly.

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.

Dvd studio pro 4 and 10.8

Anyone installed DVD Studio Pro 4 on Mountain Lion? Did it install OK?
I installed it, now I cant find it. Literally.

DUH! Solved. I installed the content, not the app. When I figured as much (before writing the first post), I went looking in /user/library, not /library/.

DVD Studio pro " Complier File Error"

MY DVD studio pro is no longer working, I get " Complier File Error " when I try to burn a disc. Will this have anything to do with using Mountion lion on my computor? The DVD studio pro works on my new pro mac. So what is wrong.
I did reload FCP 7 again and it uploads but will not work.
Paul

It will help if you cansupply more details. Are you encoding in Compressor? If so,what are the presets? Please post a screenshot.
Thanks.

Install Order Question - Compressor 4 first or DVD Studio Pro 4 first...

Hi all, I have asked this on another forum but realized I probably should have tried here first.
I'm on a fresh install of Lion and am planning to use this to do authoring on. I want to use compressor 4 which I will get from the app store and plan to use DVD Studio Pro 4 from my FCS3 set.
I'm not sure on the install order tho.
If I put my FCS3 disc in, it requires to install compressor to install DVD Studio pro. Should I install from FCS3 first then buy Compressor 4 from the app store, or can I install compressor 4 first and some how bypass FCS3 attempting to install its copy of compressor? I don't really need/want 2 copies of compressor on my system... Any tips on what I can do to install just Compressor 4 and DVD Studio 4 without the Compressor and Qmaster from FCS3 I'd be most appreciative!!

My 2 cents…don't be in a hurry to get rid of Compressor 3.5 – particularly if you're planning to continue working with FCP 7. You can keep both on your system, no problem. (This raises the question of why you need v4, but I asssume you have good reasons.)
I would begin by doing the FCS installation, then doing all the required updates; then I'd download the Compressor app and install. I'm pretty sure that this will automatically create a FCS folder and move all your legacy apps to that folder. The APple best practices doc for a single partition install says next step is to open the legacy version of Motion and then close before doimg anything with the new app (in your case, Compressor4).
Pretty confident that all your FCS apps – including DVSP – should work fine after this.
BUT. Always clone your systems drive so you can revert in case you don't like the results. (Time Machine is not an adequent substitute. I use Carbon Copy Cloner but there are alternatives.)

The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
Thanks,

"Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
• Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
• Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.

How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?

I had somebody create a DVD for me using DVD Studio Pro. (This was a compilation of many different videos.) It turned out great.
I now want to make a DVD of one of those videos on my own using iDVD '08.
I have the raw video/audio files. But, my problem is the raw files that were used for the DVD Studio Pro project are separated into one video file and one audio file. I don't know how I can get them both into iDVD. I was told that I have to recombine these two files into one file. But, how do I do this and still maintain the best quality?
(I am not a video expert by any means, but I can tell you that the video file is a ".mpeg" and the audio file is an ".ac3". When looking at the .mpeg file in the finder it lists its Kind as "MPEG Movie" and when looking at the .ac3 file in the finder it lists its Kind as "Unix Executable File".)
(I'm using iDVD 7.0.1 - I do have Quicktime Pro - I do not have the Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback component - I do not have DVD Studio Pro)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Q: How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?
A: You don't, essentially.
DVDSP is apple's top end app and it is intended to be used with FCP > Compressor > DVDSP. All of these are pro apps.
i-Apps are consumer apps all of which are QT based. With that in mind ....
now that doesn't mean you can't use FCP > iDvd. You can. But you have to do it in a way that iDvd will read all the files (meaning you must think in terms of QuickTime and export in this way). So when you export your QT File / Movie from FCP over to iDvd, it will look something like this hopefully regardless of the raw image & audio files you have already compiled which unfortunately will NOT work with i-Apps BUT will work with apple's pro apps which is the intended workflow / direction of said files in the first place.
Btw ... if your QT movie has chapter markers then please use the following settings so iDvd can read these markers. (if on the other hand you were looking to export this file to DVDSP; then you would choose DVDSP Markers.
Let me know if the above helps. If not, just come on back.

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.
