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 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 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,

  • 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.

  • 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 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 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 Crash at Burn

    All of a sudden, DVD Studio Pro has started crashing after building a DVD right at the moment it starts to burn. I have successfully burnt many discs previously. I have tried using completely different assets in brand new projects, video and still, so it can't be a specific asset. I've tried different menus. I've tried using DVDs from different brands (-R and +R). I've tried deleting the DVD SP prefs. I'm at a loss and pulling my hair out!
    Thanks!
    Fritz

    Fritz:
    Did you try building your project in your hard drive before burning?
    If you can build and testyour project (VIDEO_TS) in your drive, you can try Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site) and burning with Disk Utility and/or Toast to check if your burning problems stay there. You could have a media problem.
    Hope it helps !

  • DVD studio pro will not burn menus 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?

  • 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!

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

    Which Version 4 (4.0.x. is not universal binary for intel machines.)
    The green sounds like a corrupted file or Codec issue...
