DVD Studio Pro Quits when importing Photoshop files. HELP!!!

often when importing PS layered files DSP quits without any warning.
and it does it with the same files, some are ok, others make DSP quit. So the problem should be in the files...
I'm going crazy, since I don't undertand where the problem come from, any help?
(I use DVD SP 3.0.2)

see what I have to do:
I create a new PS file, and then paste one by one all levels from the original (buggy) one; then import in DSP the new one and everything is fine!

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • DVD Studio Pro Can't Import MP4 Files

    I'm trying to start a DVD Studio Pro 4 project, and have .mp4 video files. When I import them with the Assets>Import tab, they come in as MP4 audio files only, not movie files. The users manual says the integrated encouder auto encodes Quick Time assets into DVD compliant formats with default Compressor settings ... but that is not happening. The MP4s play fine when I double click and open them in Quick Time Player, or post them on line they work fine in a browser. I'm confused, how do I import them to work in DVD Studio Pro? BTW, I did not create them in FCP, nor do I know how to use Compressor yet. I have MPEG Stream Clip but don't know how it would help. Thanks, Tom, Miami.

    Use compressor to convert them to m2v and ac3 files before bringing them into DVDSP.

  • DVD Studio Pro quits when encoding menus with video

    Im using DVD Studio Pro 2 on a G5. Whenever I try to burn using either a menu template containing video or use a drop zone containing video, the software crashes.
    I always use m2V video and ac3 audio created in FC4. Have tried usuing an existing file asset as my target with duration time set as well as separate imported files as the target. All imported assets are in the same folder
    On burn, when it gets to the menu containing the video it crashes. If I remove the video from the menu its a smooth burn.
    Any suggestions wouldbe greatly appreciated.

    tomd63,
    Before you read this remember I am new to FCP and DVDSP. I think I remembered why I couldn't burn the DVD. I did a video for a friend and when I was editing it I put in several markers. I then decided to send him a clip via email of about 30 seconds to see if he liked the theme I set. I did an "in and out" in FCP... made it into a QT then just dragged it into iMovie then sent it from there. Later I thought I would use that same 30 second clip in the intro menu.
    My guess now ( having a little more experience) was that the chapter markers left in the 30 second clip screwed things up.

  • DVD studio Pro won't import .mov files

  • DVD Studio pro 3 - cannot import mpeg2 files

    Hi,
    I have some mpeg2 source files. They are dvd-spec mpeg2 (I think). They are muxed mpeg2, interlaced 29.97 fps. However they will not import. If I demux 'em the audio will come in, but not the Video. QT 7 Pro says the frame size is 640x480 (although lower-level programs will correctly recognize it as 720x480), and the frame rate as 30fps (again lower level programs will say its 29.97 fps).
    The mpeg2 comes from a hauupage MPEG2 hardware capture card - it has not been transcoded. The format I guess would be interlaced TV-like input.
    Anyone import these kind of mpeg2 without transcoding?

    Hi Ryan,
    Ideally the mpegs should be elemental streams.
    Try demuxing using MpegStreamclip from macupdate. If you can change the settings of your encoder to give you elemental streams that would be a great start.
    Also there are many flavours of mpeg and their headers do very considerably and DVDSP doesn't recognise several of them.
    You may need to use a utility such as MpegAppend to remedy the situation.
    Good Luck.

  • 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.

    Dec 13, 2012 12:56 AM (in response to mkubam)
    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.

  • Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Thanks.  Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc.  This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either.  I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn.  Any ideas are appreciated.

  • DVD Studio Pro Crashes when trying to import file

    Hey all,
    Hope you can help me because this is driving me crazy!
    Whenever I try to import .ac3/.m2v files to DVDSP, the program crashes. The strange thing is that it is happening only when I try it on one particular file. I seem to be able to import anything else but the audio/video files I really need!  I've tried re-compressing, and re-naming the file, I've also tried importing the file on a different computer, but nothing seems to work.   I haven't tried reinstalling since it seems to work with other files and I've tried it on separate computers.

    In FCP, export the file in 4 different chunks.
    In Compressor, convert each chunk to ac3/m2v.
    Import each chunk into DVDSP.
    Do they ALL cause problems or is it only one chunk?
    If only one chunk, there is something wonky with the video in that segment.
    Divide it up and go through the same process until you identify the offending source video. Once identified you have a couple of options -
    1. Cut it out and try to stich the material around the hole.
    2. Try using Digital Rebellion's ProMediaTools to see if it can fix the problem.
    3. If the original media was in a different format, go back to the original media, reconvert it and replace the bad segment.

  • Playback of DVD Studio Pro 4 built SD video file - Menu 1 screen is WHITE!!

    I recently upgraded from FCP 4.5 with DVD Studio Pro 3 to FCS with DVD Studio 4. I have resolved a number of problems with the upgrade by reading "Apply Discussions", however, I need help with the following: When I import my mpeg2 and AC3 files into DVD SP4, I use the DVD SP4 palette to select an Apple Template for my MENU 1. (I like the "Theater Interior" menu template.) When I view the final product with the DVD SP4 simulator, everything is great including the colors in MENU 1. So, I build my program onto my desktop, the same way I did when I had DVD SP3. Now, the problem begins. When I view the built video TS file on my G5 Apple DVD player, or format it to a standard DVD-R with my pioneer 106D burner and play it back on my in-house DVD player, when the program MENU 1 is displayed on the monitor, it is WHITE in color. The menu is set to times out in 20 seconds. Once that happens, the programs runs perfectly. However, what's with the white menu screen? I can barely make out the buttons. When I click on a button, it operates and the color and program work perfectly from that point. I there an option to get rid of the white screen when the menu comes up? Somehow, when DVD SP4 builds the video file, MENU 1 is encoding with a white background rather than with the colors of the Apple template in use. This did not happen with DVD SP3. Can you help me?
    Ugene

    try switching the menu encoding from software to hardware (or vice versa) in your DVDSP preferences and see if that makes a difference for you.

  • DVD Studio Pro tries to open unrelated files...Please help.

    Ok, here is my problem, and I'm not even sure if this is the right forum for my question. I recently tried to install a .componet file for Garage Band and it didn't work. When I Control Click and get to the "Get Info" option it says that this .componet file is an "iDVD 2 Project". Upon further inspection most of my .plugin files are marked the same when they are not.
    Is there any way to change how these files are open...or at least tell DVD Studio Pro that these are not the types of files it thinks they are?

    You say iDVD & dvdsp... and yep this is more of an OS issue... but when you get info why not go to the 'Open with' section and choose the app you want to use to open the file type with. Then hit the Change All.. button,

  • DVD Studio Pro crashes when accessing folders with mixed formats

    DVD Studio Pro 4 on Mac Book Pro OSX 10.6.8
    Program crashes whenever accessing my movies directory. It contains mostly HD content in MOV format. There are some MP4 and M4V in there too.
    To check this I copied an MOV, MP4, and M4V into a separate directory. I added this folder to the Video tab of the Palette in DVDSP and same crash occurs until I remove all but MOV content.
    Project setting is 1920 x 1080 HD. I have successfully imported several assets in MOV format.
    My question is why would DVD Studio Pro crash just because it is pointed to a directory with mixed formats? Would it not just ignore to incorrect formats and move on? Why the crash if I am not trying to import them?

    I was going to let this go doc, but....
    I discovered the crash by accident while doing Ripple Current training - yes I am a complete DVD SP newbie! Anyway my story: Oh look! There is an icon pointing at my Movies directory in the Video tab. Gee thats cool lets see what is in it. Ooooh s&*t the program just crashed! That can't be right, lets just try it again. Now thats just wrong! I'll beat this thing so lets experiment. Lo and behold its a mixed format problem. Why doesn't DVD SP just ignore any unrecognized formats like any other program? Hmm, being the newbie I am, and there was no hint in the Ripple training, I would ask the docs on the Apple forum. They will know why and what to do!
    DVD SP seemingly by default maps my Movies directory. My Movies directory has multiple formats in it from years of use. I have movies for my iPhone, iPad, movies for Vimeo and iTunes, as well as other distribution formats in the same directory. I also have been experimenting with different codecs. My Movies directory has been used as an Internet distribution point. So please excuse me if I did not clean out my Movies directory before launching DVD SP! Little did I know this would even happen. If I could "unmap" this selection permanently I would - do you know how to do this? So far I cannot find any preference for it.
    In a round-about way you got there, however so did I on my own - isolate the project to its own directory and NEVER pick on the "Movies" icon. I am not satisfied since it would be really nice to block this from ever happening again. God forbid an incorrect format should ever sneak into the sacred project directory "sorry but DVD SP and incorrect formats don't play nicely", so stop doing that!

  • 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.

    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 Pro doesn't run anymore, please help

    After launching DVD Studio Pro an alert appears: "can't find Sequence BranFIN-00000029". Then it asks search or cancel and then the program stops running whatever I do, and needs a forced quit. The same happens again and again after restarting it, even after a hardware reset. What can I do? Thanks in advance. PR.

    Can you launch DVD SP without clicking on a project? Looks like you used a reference movie in a project and part of it is gone. (In other words it is probably that one project and not DVD SP in general). Cancel should work. Have you moved files/deleted render files/swithced hard drives?

  • Compressor & Dvd Studio Pro not loving me! pls help.

    Hi, so ive got a bunch of QT's that i want to put on a dvd. so i use compressor to make them mpeg2 (m2v) using the "DVD fastest encode 90 mins" (or the others) option. it does the work, but as soon as i drop them into DVD Studio Pro, it tells me that they are NTSC assets and thus wont read. How do i stop compressor from making them NTSC, and why the **** would it do so?
    I never made them NTSC, but would like them to be PAL.
    Any help would be seriously appreciated.
    shot.

    yeah thanks Luca.
    i imagine that will work, it seems its a bit of a weird one. it only seems to go bad when im passing the converted files onto another mac with dvd studio pro. thanks for the help tho, ill let you know if i get sorted
    cheers
