DVD Studio Pro: Me dvd won't play right

I imported my .mov file at Dimensions 1920 X 1080 and 12.23GB
I need to start automatically and loop at end.
I took menu out checked first play on video track and end jump back to video so it loops.
I'm burning to a memorex DVD-R 16X 4.7GB/Go 120min dvd and it's playing slow on my mac and not even playing on my dvd player (error).
I need it to play in a dvd player and can't have this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the disk burned as an HD-DVD or a standard definition DVD?
HD-DVDs only play on Macs and the now defunct Toshiba HD-DVD players.
If it is an HD-DVD, you'll need to start over from the beginning.
Encode it as SD
Build it as SD
Burn it as SD.

IMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's

iMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's. Other DVD/CD's are recognized.
My internal DVD/CD p-layer/burner stopped working 3 years ago like many other iMacs did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is all red because I am ******!

I have discovered, no thanks to Samsung techs, what the problem is, and it might be revealing for others, as well. It seems that DVD Player, which is the app Apple provides in OS x for (naturally) playing videos, doesn't work with external drives if the computer has an internal drive – even when, as in my case, the internal drive is dead.
I have learned, however, of the existence of a couple of alternative, free applications that run video and audio disks with external optical drives, and one of them, at least (VLC), seems to be widely acclaimed. Does anyone know whether bypassing DVD Player could be a bad idea? There were some gripes from one or two reviewers about awkwardness with playing audio DVDs with iTunes, but I'm not sure what they meant when they said that you have to click on individual items in a selection. Would that mean, for example, having to click on each movement of a Mozart trio? That I couldn't play an entire album's contents of another kind of music without clicking on each song?
Getting the internal optical drive replaced would be prohibitive, even if the parts could be obtained, so I guess I'm stuck trying to deal with the external drive I have and finding the best replacement for DVD Player that I can find. The interesting thing is that the drive works beautifully with a MacBook Air I tried it with, so I guess that is because the Air doesn't have an internal drive?
Wouldn't you think that Samsung techs would know all this? The one I spoke to told me to make sure that my system preference for CDs and DVDs was set to open automatically with DVD Player and sent me all kinds of FAQs, plus a way to get an RMA number for a return. Not a word about difficulties with Macs having an existing internal drive. And all after spending a very long time talking with me about what was going on, what the error message was, and so on. I guess the message hasn't gotten to them.
I hope this information will be helpful to someone.

Short content DVD won't play

I've had this problem for years, and I've finally decided to ask. Every time I make a short content DVD with under about 10 minutes of content, my finished Encore DVD won't play in some players. The amount of data written by Encore is visibly small on the disc. I've noticed however, that if I take the same content, and master it in Nero rather than Encore, the content on the disc (burn area) is much larger and it plays just fine on every player. Is there anything within Encore that I can change to eliminate this problem?
Thanks for any thoughts.

"Probably" the reason nero doesn't have the problem is the same as for ImgBurn: it automatically pads the total size. I never remember to pad tiny disks anymore, because I have become dependent on the autopad!
Edit: I see John's second past! That's the other imgburn advantage here: let it figure out the addition!

On my Mac (vers 10.7.5) I use Disk Utilites to burn a DVD. The DVD won't play on the Mac but will play on my Windows PC and on a DVD player. A DVD created on my PC will play on the Mac. Any ideas why this is happening?

I used iDVD to create an IMG file
You created the video DVD, the IMG file, with iDVD and just burned it with Disk Utility. As Klaus1 pointed out Disk Utility can't create video DVDs.

HT1338 Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Because this is affecting multiple DVD's it suggests a faulty drive. If you were willing to spend a few $ or € and purchase an external optical drive from any electronic shop, that would be a sound diagnostic step to take; possibly a solution and cheaper than replacing the internal drive if counting labour is a factor.

Cd/dvd won't play on win 7,

cd/dvd won't play on win 7, using hp touchsmart tx2, autoplay option is checked. Have itunes installed also, does this have something to do with it? I have used it recently for lightscribe and copying music to a blank cd...I am not getting any errors, it just won't play..

I am having similiar problems but on a HP DV6700 running Vista.
Can you explain "won't play"? Does it show up in Device Manager? Does it show up in My Computer?
There could be a number of possibilities. Lets try to narrow your resolution.

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.

DVD studio Pro discs still will not play

Hi Folks,
no matter what settings I change in DVD studio pro they will not play on computers or any DVD player I try.
If I print a copy off with a consumer platform like toast they play it fine....
what are the settings I need toadjust to ensure they are compatible on ALL dvd players, computers....blue ray players??
Sorry for the repost, I thought my question was solved yesterday.

Hi
My thoughts about this (for what it might be worth)
• Brand of DVD matters - Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands use to work as Data-DVDs BUT NOT FOR VIDEO !
I only use Verbatim (but would love to try Tayio Yuden)
• Type of DVD used.
DVD-R plays on even older DVD-Players - DVD+R not so and especially avoid DVD+/-RW as they use to NOT WORK
• BURN SPEED - Faster ====> More Burn Errors !
I set it down to x2 or x4 at MAX - this use to be the problem when DVD doesn't play on PC ore even the Mac who burned it.
• HD-DVD - Needs dedicated Toshiba HD DVD-players to be able to be played
• Blu-Ray - Roxio Toast™ incl BD-component can do thus BUT the resulting BD-Disk or BD on DVD disk is in AVCHD
SO BD-Player must be able to play it
- Cheap Samsungs DO NOT
- PlayStation3 CAN PLAY them !
Yours trying to be helpful - Bengt W

DVD Studio Pro and Motion won't work

I posted this in the Tiger forum and didn't get a solution so I'm trying here.
After installing Tiger DVD Studio Pro and Motion quit working.
Both applications open (in the menu bar at least), but neither one will open all of its windows and nothing happens when I click on anything in the windows that do open. Nothing's frozen (the menus still respond), but there are no windows to work in.
I booted into Panther from my Backup drive and DVD SP works, but Motion won't even startup.
I'm hurtin' here. Can anyone help?
I'm using DVD SP v2.0.5 and Motion v1.0.1 on a Dual 1.42 PowerPC G4 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM and an ATI RADEON 9600 Mac Edition video card.
Dual 1.42 PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM and ATI RADEON 9600 Mac Edition

Got an answer in the DVD SP forum. Look for the same topic there if you need it.

DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Won't Recognize Any Video Files

Hello, everyone! I guess this might be a little prehistoric, but I really need help. I have the dinosaur, DVD Studio Pro 1.5, and for some reason it won't recognize any .m2v's, .mpeg's, or anything else. As I understand it, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 will only take MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files, but whenever I use them, it says, "Error: Unknown File Type," in the Log.
Can someone help me? Perhaps there is a way to make it accept more than just MPEG-1 & 2?
Thanks so much!

Well, I used the requirements for Widescreen NTSC in BitVice. The requirements are given in the DVD Studio Pro 1.5 manual. However, when I went to drag the file into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, the log came up and said: ERROR: 480 is not the proper height for a PAL file.
So, I knew that it must only want PAL files.
Another problem:
To apply videos for a Motion Menu, I am supposed to click on the menu in the Graphical View, and go to "Asset" under "Picture," and select the video I want. The problem is, it won't show ANY .m2v's in the Asset drop box. It will show my Photoshop files, though. And, I'm sorry to say that those files you offered me didn't work either. (They didn't show up under the Asset drop box.)
[Thanks so much, by the way! They had NO trouble importing to DVD Studio Pro!]
Here's a picture of my computer and the missing files in the "Assets" drop box.

DVD made in D S Pro 4.02 won't play on home DVD players

I've wasted about 6 blank DVD's. I've used Compressor, and Quicktime Movie to encode. No matter what I do my DVDs will not play on any of my home DVD players. It play fine on my computer. Please, somebody, help me. I have some people that have been waiting since August to get their wedding video.

I used two brands. These brand have worked on movies that I made in iDVD. Here is the log from DSP: I have 4 DVD players. It won't work on anything except for Apple's DVD Player.

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.

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,

DVD won't play

I used DVD studio pro after exporting for DVD in FCP7. This created a M4v vid and an audio file. I made a menu in dvd studio pro which then has two medias to choose from, a still and the video.
In a computer (a mac) it is playing fine, however I tried it in a DVD player and also an Xbox 360 and it won't play. On the DVD player/TV the message 'wrong disk' appears. For the xbox there was also an error message (but can't remember the wording as it was the other day).
I have selected it to be region 2 (I'm in England) and the DVDs are DVD-R, 16x speed. Is there any question of the DVD's I'm using not being good enough quality to hold a menu or am I selecting something wrong? I'm a bit stumped as to what the problem could be, any ideas would be appreciated
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I would go back and use one of the DVD templates in compressor encoding for this is in mpeg 2. I know DVD SP has a prblem with H264 which is another flavor of QT, it may have this problem with M4v as well.
Hope this helps.

Finished DVD won't play in DVD player.....

Hi All,
I am new to DVD Studio Pro; I made the jump from idvd......!
I just finished my first DVD, and it won't play in my dvd player; it plays fine on my computer with the DVD player. could it be because the dvd player is about 6 years old?
TIA!!

How did you burn the DVD and what media? That can aalso cause issues, Which version of DVD SP are you using and what machine?
Take a look at this thread, discusses how some things can be off depending on what andd where you are trying to run things, goes to qutting, but also something that can cause other issues
