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 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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 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?

  • Dvd studio pro does not burn readable dvds on other platforms

    I have DVDSP 4.1.2 and always used it to create DVD with content.
    Now after I upgrade to 10.6.4, I can burn DVDs but they are not readable on other platforms (PC or DVD Players).
    Thank you

    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.

  • Done but cant finish, DVD studio PRO wrecking my day.  PLEASE HELP!

    ok I am done, did a practice burn of one of my clips on the same settings. Project burned just fine and played in the DVD player. Earlier I was having problems it was only playing on my Mac.
    NOW I get this message - The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error. (0x0C, 0x00.)
    I am done with a project and need it to get out today, PLEASE HELP please please please. I have stayed up all night jumping through hoops and so close to finishing.

    As in you're burning from DVD studio? you might wanna build your format as a .img to your hd then using disk utility or toast, burn that to disk.... or it could just be your optical drive :/

  • Brand New Never Used Macbook Pro Will Not Power On. Please Help!

    Ok so I just recieved my Macbook Pro 13" in the mail today, and when I went to turn it on it wouldn't. The power-up sound doesn't play and I have full battery power. I followed all of the steps leading up to the power-up step so I don't know what is wrong. I also tried all of the suggestions mentioned in the user guide, and don't know what to do next. I guess I will bring it in to the store soon if I can't get it fixed. Kind of disappointing since it is my first mac...

    Lol yeh it came almost fully charged. I called Apple and am going to now send it back because it is DOA. Now I get to wait for at least another week before I get a new one. Ty for your responses.

    I am making multiple DVD's of roughly 50 hours of footage on DVD Studio pro with 4 separate menus for 4 different 'parts' or series if you will. 50 hours - 20 episodes - 4 parts of 5 episodes each. What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's, what is the process, what size DVD RW should I buy, what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn. Any advice or insight is welcome.

    >>What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's<<
    20 episodes totaling 50 hours equals about 2.5 hours per episode assuming all episodes have the same duration.  Fitting 2.5 hours onto one single layer DVD would require a low bit rate which means quality wouldn't be anywhere near best, but that's a judgement call you'll have to make based on several factors.  For example; if there is not much motion in the video (talking heads, etc), you can get by with a lower bit rate and may not notice any quality difference.
    >>what is the process>>
    The process is essentially the same as it is when authoring a regular DVD with 2 hours or less of content.  However, with as many discs as you'd need to complete this "set," you'll need to create a separate DVD Studio Project for each disc.  Basically, you'd use one of Compressor's DVD Presets (or customize a preset) to create an MPEG--2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.AC3).  Import both of those assets into your DVD Studio Pro project for authoring and burning.
    If you want to keep one episode per disc, DVD Studio Pro does have a 150 minute preset or you could use dual-layer discs with a higher bit rate for better quality.  Again; your call.
    >>what size DVD RW should I buy<<
    Size?  12cm.  Capacity?  Single layer, single sided DVD discs (DVD-5) have a rated capacity of 4.7Gb (4.37Gb actual), including menus.  If you use single layer discs and want to keep the quality reasonably good, you'd need at least 50 discs to complete this "set" with each disc holding roughly 2 hours of footage if you keep the menu on each disc simple.  Or, you could use dual-layer discs (DVD-9) which have a capacity of about 7.95Gb - almost doubling the recordable capacity.  There are also dual-sided, dual-layer discs available (DVD-18) but they are relatively expensive and have to be manually turned over to continue playback ... but they do have roughly 15.9Gb capacity.
    >>what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn<<
    Exactly; the quality is dependent on the bit rate chosen, as well as the quality of the compression.  Using compression markers where needed can greatly increase the quality of playback but will most likely increase the file size of the compressed video.  For the best quality, keeping the bit rate  as high as possible allowed under the DVD specification will yield the best quality but some DVD players may choke if the bit rate is too high.  For best quality I typically aim for a bit rate around 7.6 to 8.0Mbps but that will only allow about one hour of footage.
    Naturally, if you decrease the bit rate, you can fit more footage onto the disc but quality will be sacraficed.   Here's a chart approximating DVD bit rates and durations for single layer discs (does not include space for menus):
    3.5Mbps - 120 minutes
    5.0Mbps -   95 minutes
    6.0Mbps -   82 minutes
    7.6Mbps -   65 minutes
    8.0Mbps -   60 minutes

  • My DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP

    my DVD will play DVD's but will not burn from FCP also the Finder does not recognize when I load a black DVD

    You need DVD burning/Authoring software.
    EIther iDVD or Roxio Toast or try freeware burning software Burn for OS X.
    iDVD is no longer available, but the last complete version that still works comes with Apple's iLife '09 apps.
    You would need to search for this on online sites like Amazon to see if you can still purchase.
    You install the iDVD app and all the authoring themes by doing a custom install of the disc and ONLY installing the iDVD app and iDVD themes.
    Here are a few copies of this for sale on Amazon U.S. site.

    Roxio Toast is another option.

  • Mac Pro will not Boot...Help!!!

    I have a Mac Pro with 4x500GB in RAID 10, well earlier today during normal use my system locked up and I couldn't select force quit or anything my system just sat there frozen and unresponsive. After about 5 minutes I decided to just hold in the power button and reboot.
    Well now when the system boots I get the nortmal grey apple screen and spinning circle thing and after about 1 min I hear each hard drive shut down and the system then turns off.
    I tried holding down the shift key to boot into safe mode but it will not work.
    Please help me get my system back up and running.

    OK well that worked, I shut down the system, pushed disks 2 and 4 back into place, powered back on, logged in and everything looks as it should.
    Well that wasn't too bad, now to get my external data backup in place, I have put that off for too long .

    You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
    you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
    then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org
