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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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 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: is it possible to burn unusual resolution video on DVD?

    Hello All,
    FCP 0.6,
    DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1
    Compressor 3.0.5
    I have a short that has a resolution 1920 x 650 px (it is a split screen video). I am trying to burn it to DVD by using DVD Studio Pro. I tried to export the film from FCP by using Compressor. I customized the DVD Best quality: 90 min setting to "letterbox the area of source" in "Geometry" tab, but the result looks like the resolution is not preserved but conformed to the DVD and the image looks squished. I know I have long trip on this subject but I would love to learn if this is at all possible.
    I know of software called: Popcorn from Roxio that supposedly burns anything into DVD. I dont know if I should bother installing and trying..?
    Should I experiment with Anamorphic DVD (does a standard DVD player read those)?
    Please help and thank you,
    Izabela

    The short answer is, unfortunately, no.  The DVD standard is 720x480, either 4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic.  If you do the math, you'll note you'll be looking at a LOT of black screen as you interpolate the 1920 down to 720, even if it's anamorphic.

  • 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 on formats and wont burn.

    I created a menu on dvd studio pro and when I try to burn it, it only goes through the process of Formatting and it finishes. I cant play it on any dvd player, I'm pretty sure thats because its only formatted and not burnt. I cant seem to get it to burn. Any suggestions?

    Wikileak:
    It works even though it doesn't work.
    While the display of colors in the pop-up menu is broken under Mac OS X 10.9, the palette is still there and works for setting colors.  Choosing the first blank spot in the Color pop-up menu sets that first color in the palette, choosing the second blank spot on the Color pop-up menu sets the second color in the in the palette, etc.  Of course, this was sooooo much easier when the Color pop-up menu displayed color swatches as expected.
    If you click the "Edit Palette" button at the bottom, the colors in the Edit Palette dialog box from left to right correspond to the Color pop-up menu from top to bottom.  So, the color in row one, column one of the Edit Palette dialog will be the first blank in the Color pop-up list.  The color in the row one, column two will be the second color in the pop-up list and so forth.
    I set the colors for a title in the Edit Palette and take a screen shot, then reference that while using the Color pop-up menu.
    If your machine will boot 10.7.5, an alternative is to create a startup volume just for setting the colors and switch to 10.9.5 for finishing the disc.

  • 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.
    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...
