DVD with Graphic Subtitles crash

Hi,
I've created a dvd with one track and subtitles at every 10 minutes (for watermarking), during 30 secondes. These are graphic subtitles. The Dvd is auto-run, no menu, no loop, no chapter. The movie plays fine in the simulator and in Apple Dvd player once compiled. But, the dvd burned, crashes in the Apple DVD player when it plays on a subtitle.
If I skip forward the subtitles, the player don't crash, neither if I play it on a hardware player (Pioneer, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony). I suppose it's a DVD Studio Pro problem because I tried on a older version of Apple DVD Player, with Mac OSX 10.4 and it crashes too.
Can't anybody help me!?
Thanks,
Matt

It's not pretty, but you can do it VLC and Apple's DVD player together.
Start VLC and click "Open File" (not "Quick Open File") in the "File" menu.
Click "Browse" and find a movie at least as long as the DVD movie.
Click the "Open" button.
Check "Load subtitles file" and click "Settings".
Click "Browse", find your subtitles file ( ,srt, or .idx if you have .idx and .sub)
Click the "Open" button.
Click the "OK" button.
Click the "OK" button.
Click the Pause button.
Click "Mute" in the "Audio" menu.
Select the desired "Subtitles Track" in "Video" menu.
Move the VLC window down on the screen.
Start playing the DVD with Apple's DVD player.
Position the DVD window over the VLC window, leaving just the bottom (subtitle) part of the VLC window visible.
When you reach the start of the actual movie, click VLC's Play button.
Click the DVD Player icon in the dock, so get the DVD window back on top.
Start eating popcorn.
If you are going to do this often, you may want to make a custom, long, solid black, movie, (extreme film noir) to avoid distracting backgrounds under the subtitles. This movie should compress to a very small file. if you pick the right codec.

Watching a DVD with srt subtitles

Hi there,
Recently I bought a french DVD which turned out to have no subtitles. I did find subtitles for that movie on the Internet.
Now, how can I watch the DVD on my Mac without having to merge the subtitles with a DVD-rip? Is it possible to do that with DVD Player or another (preferably free) app? I have VLC but it only opens subs from a DVD.
Thanks.

Make a DVD with *only* subtitles on it?

crazy question: can I make a "film" that consists of only a subtitle track and nothing else?
I have a special need: I need to make a DVD that can played in the cinema "on top of" a 35mm film. In other words, I have the picture on film already, I am just looking for a cheap and cheeky way to subtitle films for the festival that I work for.
I thought I could just import the film, make the subs, and then throw away the picture track and then build the DVD. Doesn't seem to work.
Is this possible? Can anyone suggest a way I can get this to work?

nah, do NOT use DVD subtitles for this.
They are bad enough already...(with just 3 colors and transparant)
Create a black video clip with rendered titles in it.
To ensure quality, make the subs as large as possible (to fill the most of the horizontal space you have, so you have max resolution, do not project the same size as the movie, set the projector for the subs way smaller (otherwise the lack of light vs the 35 mm will be totally obvious).
It sounds like a nice idea, but besides the quality of the video projection (you need LIGHT!!!), you cannot have a border / shadow...
And, it will be difficult to start in sync and stay in sync.
I would test this way before commiting yourself to it.

Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
"Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

Rip a DVD with subtitles (owned by me)

Hi all. The quick background:
My company made a series of films (before i joined them) which was delivered on DVD some time ago and since then some of the original projects have been lost (Don't ask how this was allowed to happen!). Our client has asked if i can supply them with two of the sections from the disc as quicktimes for them to use in a presentation.
I have used Mpeg streamclip to rip one of the sections and the result is perfect. The problem is the second section which has subtitles on it.
How do i rip the file and keep the subtitles?
Thanks in advance
GK

If you have an A/D converter or can use your camcorder as such you can use this roundabout method.
1. Connect DVD player's AV outputs to converter which is connected to Mac.
2. Open FCP and change Easy Setup to Converter.
3. Play DVD with subtitles switched on and capture into FCP.
4. Once in FCP export as a QuickTime Movie.

IMac crashes on startup or freezes with graphical glitches

Hi,
My early 2009 24" iMac suddenly crashed a few days ago, while browsing on the internet with no major app running. It did so with graphical glitches, like coloured dots. Since then, it would always shut down suddenly every time I restart. It shuts down right after the Apple logo and the wheel, once even reaching the user selection screen for a second, then shutting down before I could even move.
I started it in safe mode and ran all the checks, it says the volume is fine. When checking disk permissions, it did give me a few error messages but let me do the repairs. Weird thing is when I ran the disk permission verification again it showed me the same permission, as if they hadn't been repaired.
Now I backup everything and tried to reinstall OS X but to no avail, it kept doing the same thing.
So I formatted the disk, zeroed it out and reinstalled Mavericks. Same thing keeps happening, which seem to indicate some kind of hardware failure, right?
On one occasion it did start up but after a few seconds it froze, with heavy glitches (see picture attached - sorry it's upside down but it doesn't make a huge difference anyway!).
I upgraded the iMac with new RAM a year ago or so, and 2 years ago it had a hard drive failure, so I replaced the HD. Never had any problems in general, apart from when I had to replace the HD of course. It's always been very stable and well behaved.
Any idea what the problem could be? I'm not looking forward to having to fork out £1500 for a new one...

http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/ may be worth reading before you visit Apple. I don't thibk you'd be the first to argue that an expensive, quality computer ought to last more than 5 years, albeit that say, mechanical hard drives inside might need replacing.

OpenOffice (calc) crashes whenever opening file with graphics

The title says it all. Version is 3.0.0-3.
It doesn't matter the file origins from Excel, is old .ods or OO-3.0 .ods. The only pattern I could see is that files without embedded external graphics work well (regardless WMF, JPG, PNG); other crash after loading. I deleted my .openoffice folder without success.
Anybody experienced anything similar? Any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance!

This time I got some feedback from the terminal:
pure virtual method called
terminate called without an active exception
/usr/bin/soffice: line 152: 6320 Speicherzugriffsfehler "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
("Speicherzugriffsfehler" means "memory access error")
The weird thing is, I have lots of other computer working fine with the same files and similar installation (Arch64, Gnome...). Is it possible to be related to any dependending software?
I opened one spreadsheet document with a company logo on another computer and saved. Then opened the same file on my computer and it crashed. Then again I opend this file, removed all graphics and saved it. Now it also opens on my computer, but as soon as I try to import a graphic OpenOffice crashes again. So I believe the trigger is known.
So far I couldn't find any similar report at OpenOffice.org

Make a new DVD with subtitles from original DVD

Hello, i am trying to make a new DVD with subtitles from an original DVD a friend has sent to me in order to add the .*** file with the titles done with Jubler. My question is : I am converting the video ts folder of the original DVD with MPEG Streamclip to get a format that is possible to import with iDVD. so which is the best conversion for iDVD?

My recollection is a bit fuzzy, but I think an older version of Quicktime (6?) still supported text tracks with transparent backgrounds. You might have to dig around to verify that, and it's an option, but here's a whole different approach...
What do you think about using software like SnapZ Pro to record the version playing on your screen? It is taking video screen shots, so it won't be confused by the additional video layer (of text).

IMAC 24Inch with NVidia 256 MB graphics card CRASHED NO SCREEN STARTUP HELP

HI there, wondering if anyone has had their nvidia GT graphics card crash then the screen go black?
I got home tonight, my ali imac 24inch, looks like its off, I turn it on, everything boots up but no
screen. Ive shared the screen through my macbook and look at the system info and it says under graphics displays "No information found" What does this mean? Has my graphics card destroyed itself?
It better not have! HELP!!!

Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give you.

I can't burn dvd with os x mountain lion it crash all the time

no dvd burn with mountain lion

Like me???
If you try to burn and mount the InstallESD.dmg with Disk Utility on a DVD with 4.7GB capacity, maybe you get a similar error like this: There is not enough space on the DVD
Does anybody know a solution for this or should I burn the image on a DL DVD?

A disk in the DVD drive causes a crash, machine will not start

I have a fairly bizarre problem, searched, didn't find it in here so... maybe I am special. Anyway. I have a 2.4ghz MBP with 4GB of memory. I got it in November (with Leopard). It has worked without an issue until I started tonight to give bootcamp a go on it.
Symptoms:
- Leopard boots up fine, logged in, nothing else open
- Insert any disk (DVD, CD-R)
- Leopard crashes
- continues to cycle through a restart but it keeps crashing waits 1 min, restarts, repeat
- Even tried a Leopard disk
Tried:
- disk utility to look at things
- can't load anything to check the hardware cause its cd based
What I did before it started going nuts?
I used bootcamp to partition the drive. This worked fine. Stuck the XP disk in and it read it fine. Machine rebooted to install XP, this was fine. Things went well until the XP install asked for a reboot. Then it restarts, disk failure. I eject disk and select OS X. Off we go, things are good.
I delete partition thinking something got screwed up. Tried again. This time when I put the XP disk in the thing crashes while in Leopard.
While I have typed this my machine has restarted a dozen times on its own. It is kinda funny to watch but *** has happened to it? I can't even re-install Leopard... no drive.
The DVD drive does spin up but after a few seconds it crashes. Any ideas out there?

Maybe related...
Bought a 2.6G MBP yesterday, brought it home, booted up, everything great until I started loading my apps---CDs/DVDs would spin and spin, then eject---then Install Disc 1 froze the system. Can't eject the disc---onboard fans racing like jet engines and the keyboard area near the screen seemed very hot. Posted last night---someone thinks either bad optical drive or motherboard. About to go see a Genius now. For $3K+, this pretty much *****.

How can I Burn a Simple DVD with Chapters and Menus out of My Home Videos.

I created an iMovie (unsig iMovie 10.0.2) of my daughter's volleyball season. I inserted markers separating each game day, hoping these would create chapters in my DVD. Then I did some research about DVD burning apps and finally downloaded BURN. With Burn I created a DVD, but this DVD did not have chapters and also did not have a customizable menu. The whole movie ended up as one 2 hour long chapter.
I have hundresd of family vacation on a hard drive stored and would like to start making iMovies of them to put on DVD for easy watching and forbackup storing.
What is a simple way I can burn my iMovie with chapters onto a DVD?
My macbook pro did not come with iDVD so I dont have it.
Thanks.

MY source is HD i beleive. I shot videos with an iPad Mini.
I ventured into this because I offered this DVD to several team parents, so they are waiting for me to give them the DVD. While I was making it, I added subtitles, showing the game dates, game scores and stats of each player, so it came out really nice. However, not to concern about quality, i have burt the video in a dual layer dvd in SD. I dont have a blue ray burner nor media.
This made me want to do the same with my family vacations vieeos, whic now are a bunch of files in a hard drive, sort them by vacation and add titles like lications to actualy be abel to watch them on a dvd someday.
I have apple tv in the family room, but do not use to watch these videos, will look into that. However, I would still want to make the DVD's.
It seems odd how this, basic feature, has been dropped. I guess apple does not want us to use any more discs.
Still hoping I can do this, if not, I will have to gie away the DVDs with the 2 hour long video in a single chapter.

Qosmio X505-Q870 Graphics Constantly Crashing

Hey guys,
I purchased by laptop mid-March and since late-April, this odd behavior has been occuring.
So, while I'm doing work on the laptop (regardless of game, autocad, or just document work) sometimes, the screen will go black, it'll come back on without any card running, go black, and then come back up with a little notice at the right bottom corner of Windows saying that the NVIDIA graphic driver crashed and has been restored.
Anyone know what's up?
I paid 1.5 grand for this and am worried that there may be a problem with the graphic card.
Thanks.
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

I still have this same problem. If you get any resolution to this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Andy

DVDStudioPro doesn't show graphic subtitles any more

My DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2 has shown graphic subtitles (tifs) until kind of recently.
Even earlier created projects doesn't show them any more.
What happend. Has anybody else noticed this thing?
How can I make them visible again?
I'm on OSX 10.6.8

There shouldn't be a need to mouse over the tab to see what the title is. The space is wasted otherwise, so why not display the title there whether or not the menu bar is also displayed?
I attached a picture showing exactly what I'm talking about, excuse the quick ms paint job.

How do i burn dvd with no menu - just play?

hello,
I need to burn a dvd with no menu, so that when it plays, it goes straight to movie...
thanks,
steve

Steve - import your asset into DVDSP so that it appears in the assets tab. When imported (and the button shows green), drag the footage into the time line. This sets the footage into 'track 1'.
If you look in the outline view you will see Menu1 and Track 1 listed. menu 1 is the default choice for 'First Play' - if you now click on the disc icon at the top of the outline view then look in the property inspector you will find another way of setting 'First Play' - simply use the option to select the track instead.
If you control+click on the track icon in the outline view (or in the graphical view for DVDSP 3+) you get the option to set First Play there too - simply select the words at the top of the contextual menu.
