DVD Studio Pro won't accept my H.264 QT asset

Hi, I want to import my HDV 1080i FCP project into DVD Studio Pro v.4.2.1 to create a SD Disc. I exported the FCP project in Compressor using H.264 10.3mbps in the HD DVD: H.264 60 minutes folder. I was able to import the audio asset but not the video asset. Any idea why I cannot import this into DVD Studio Pro?
When I export this as MPG2 best quality and import it into DVD studio pro, formatting for SD (I have to make an SD dvd from my HD source material), the quality looks AWFUL. like a cheap camcorder.
Running out of options....

A HD DVD will only play back in your Mac and the now obsolete Toshiba DVD-HD set top devices.
A standard DVD will play back on any DVD Video device.
the quality looks AWFUL.
You are compressing to MPEG 2 and throwing a lot of pixel information away -going from 1920x1080 to 720x480. There's no way that it can look the same.

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 won't burn disk

I have a DVD Studio Pro file that used to burn without a problem, but now it won't at all. I found all of the files necessary, but when I click the burn button, I get a warning:
The Build Location folder contains a VIDEO_TS folder(standard DVD content). You must remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a HD DVD project.
I wouldn't know where to find this Build folder anyway. I am not sure what to do at this point.
Can anyone shed some light?
I have a 2010 2.66 GHz Macbook Pro Core i7
Thanks!

Are you trying to build an HD DVD rather than a standard defintion DVD? I've never tried to build an HD DVD... does that format also use the VIDEO_TS structure?
A simple alternative to finding and removing the troublesome VIDEO_TS folder is to select a new location for the build -- an empty folder on your desktop, in your documents folder, wherever.
Or, if the contents and/or design of the disc hasn't changed since the last time you built it, find the current VIDEO_TS folder and use that to burn your disc rather than building it anew.

DVD Studio Pro Won't Launch

When I try to launch DVD Studio Pro 4.02, I get a series of error messages saying that it can't find specific files. These files are from an old project that I deleted, so they no longer exist. The real problem is that it eventually freezes and doesn't open. I reinstalled from the disks, reinstalled the upgrades, tried deleting every project file and all files in the DVD Studio Pro folders and I still get the error messages and the program freeze. Any help would be appreciated.

Solved the problem. I had to clear out all files from the "Movies" folder. Still a bit annoying that the program won't launch without having all of the files.

DVD studio Pro won't import .mov files

DVD Studio pro won't open

Just upgraded to Leopard and my DVD Studio Pro 3 and compressor won't open. It starts to open and then shuts down. I have repaired permissions, deleted preferences, and re-installed the programs. Everything else at the moment seems to run fine. Any suggestions?

You're not alone. Last week my DVD Studio Pro, which I use all the time, worked perfectly. Then over the weekend I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.5.1 and I can't load it at all. I get the logo box, then it seems like it just hangs. This happens no matter how I try to open a file or launch the program.
The only other program I know I'm having problems with is iDVD, which I turned to in desperation after DVDSP stopped working. Unfortunately, iDVD crashes every time I launch it. I'm an editor, not a computer programmer, so I'm afraid I'm in real trouble here.
I wish I hadn't upgraded. Everything was great until I went to Leopard. This is the first major problem I've had since I switched from PCs to the Mac platform 5 years ago. Hopefully a fix will be as easy as the rest of my Apple experience has been, but I'm extremely frustrated and desperate right now. PLEASE HELP!

Installed Snow Leopard, now DVD Studio Pro won't build or burn a DVD

Hi,
I eagerly upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard, but since installation when I go to burn a DVD with DVD Studio Pro, immediately it gives me this error message:
Compiler File Error
Build Cancelled.
I am using Final Cut Studio 2 with DVDSP v 4.2.1
Advice? Thanks.

Dvd studio pro won't work

I have an imac g5 with 10.4.8. When I open dvd studio pro, the 2 palattes on the right open but nothing else happens. If I click to the desktop and back to dvd studio pro, the main windows appear but i can't do anything (I.E.: i try to insert an asset and the file windo appears for a second then disappears.) Opening the preferences window gives me a distorted window with nothing I can choose. I have deleted the preferences many times and removed receipts and reinstalled.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

DVD Studio Pro won't build right!!!

Hi,
I finishing my portfolio for college. And I getting problem after problem. I am using a Mac Pro 8 core leopard, final cut pro 5 and dvd studio pro 3. First I could import mpeg-2 to studio pro 3 that it would crash. That I upgraded to version 4 and updated as well. Then I could import mpeg2 to DSP but it would play strange, with half of the screen in green. I solved the problem exporting in mpeg 2 from after effects instead of final cut. I checked quicktime on export and the mpeg 2 wasn't there anymore like it was before. But I could export on final cut and after on mpeg2. After all that, imagine what happen. I finish all my portfolio, build to my HD, try to play on dvd player and it happened the same thing with the videos as before. Came up with the green part.
I don't know what to do anymore. I was going to try to start from scratch. Install the leopard or tiger on external hd, install final cut and dvd studio pro. And see what happen. Should I install DSP 3 or 4, tiger or leopard?
If anyone know the solution or have a suggestion, please help me!!! I don't know what happen, I never had this problem.
Thanks in advance!

FWIW ... FCP 5 and DVD SP 3 are not officially supported on Intel Machines. Also Leopard has issues and should be installed via erase and install.
First I could import mpeg-2 to studio pro 3 that it would crash. That I upgraded to version 4 and updated as well.
Which Version 4 (4.0.x. is not universal binary for intel machines.)
The green sounds like a corrupted file or Codec issue...

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

DVD Studio Pro won't burn - HELP please

I have DVD Studio Pro 4.0 and I've exported a sequence from FCE 4.0. I've set my preferences (HD), imported the sequence (or asset) and then I selected burn - "Format Successful" comes up and nothing else happens. Am I doing something wrong? I know it works because I've done it before.

DVD Studio Pro doesn't accept Compressor settings

I export to mpeg2 from my FCP file and when I import the file into DVD Studio Pro, the message comes up non supported file.
I end up using iDVD.
Would like to use DVD SP again.
What video and audio settings do I use for a 90 minute DVD?

Let's start with the settings you used in Compressor. Which did you use?

DVD Studio Pro won't loop

I normally set films to loop within FCP and DVD pro must see a marker as it usually just loops. Now all of a sudden my DVD won't loop. I looked at the manual but can't quite figure out the exact steps to loop within DVD Pro.. are there any tutorials online??
please help.

Once you've got your menu and track in place in the project, set the end jump of the track to the track itself. Then it'll loop until you tell it to stop.

DVD studio pro won't finish and eject disk

I have been having a problen with dvdsp. it will write the disk and then it hangs up on writing lead out. I actually have to re start the computer to get the disk out. The disk plays but why will it not finish?

Last night I tried to just burn the video_ts file with toast and it did the same thing. I actually had to shut down the computer and restart to get the disk to stop and eject. Today I tried toast again but this time I slowed the burn speed to 8x (was at 16x, using mamorex 16x disks) and it worked. I don't know if the disks are crap or not. I have had good luck with them but I have only burned 160 of them and had probally 5 coasters which is good right? Is there a way to slow the speed down in dvdsp?

.264 file format won't go into DVD Studio Pro Timeline

Hi,
I am a wedding videographer who has been filming in HD for a company for awhile, but now I am editing my own projects. I very recently got the FCP 7 update and bought an external blu-ray burner. The new update let’s you compress your HD footage into blu-ray .264 video files, but my mac computer doesn’t appear to be able to read the format and DVD Studio Pro won’t accept in into the program nevertheless the timeline. I am not sure what to do as I had been battling this for awhile and I thought I had it figured out, but I’m stumped. Can anyone help me with this? I know this is a brand new update and mac has been hesitant about working with blu-ray.

DVD Studio Pro is used to make DVDs. If you want to use FCS to make a BD, then you need to open Compressor, create a new batch from template (select "Create Blu-ray disc"), drop in your exported movie, and do it from there.
