DVDSP 4 + 10.3.9 + QuickTime 7.x- Is it SAFE ?

I have held of on installing DVDSP 4 because of issues I have read about with QT 7.x. I'm in the middle of a big project and cant afford down time to resolve problems.
Which version of QT 7.x is safe to run with 10.3.9 ?
Right now I have to boot into a 10.4.2 partition to use Compressor 2, but that seriously hurts my work flow as I cannot get anything else done because my main OS is still 10.3.9
Suggestions? Thank you...

Hi Matthew,
There are several major advancements with DVDSP 4. But in my opinion I would hold off upgrading until your project has been completed.
With respect to your mpeg encoding situation. I would possibly just do quick encodes directly out of quicktime in Panther, and run your high quality encodings overnight on 10.4.3.
Good Luck

Compressor slow down after DVDSP/quicktime update

I am producing DVDs every week between 1 to 1.5 hours long. Usually takes compressor from 2 to 4 hours to render.
After upgrading to DVDSP 4.1.2 and Quicktime 7.1.5 it has been 4 hours and the redering is just over half done.
Activity monitor is showing 98.70, using about 1/2 of both processors.
Anyone else having a slow down using compressor?
Power Mac Dual 1.4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB Ram, SATA RAID drives

I am having the same issue. My G5 Quad would rev the fans going no matter what i was encoding. QT to WMV, QT to iPod, Compressor encoding SD or HD or QT file. Compressor used to fly for me. This wasn't the case on my G5 dual 2 but I thought it was because I didn't have as much RAM. Now I upgraded to the UB version of FCP and it's as slow as molasses in wintertime.

Exception Error from the Quicktime control panel/Update

When I press the Update button under the Update tab, I get the following error:
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDD "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
Quicktime seems to run correctly and says I have version 7.4.1 installed, so I'm not really worried as I wind up having to manually install any updates anyways. Also, I have automatic updates disabled, I have removed the autoupdater from my startup (slowed down my windows loading), and since that Bonjour service is annoying and nonessential, I have turned it off as well.
If any of these are the reason for the error, I'm willing to live with it. Just thought I'd let you know about the update error.

+When I press the Update button under the Update tab, I get the following error:+
+An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDD "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"+
Do you have an nVidia video card in that PC, Drakaran? That seem to be the common factor for people with the Update tab crash with 7.3.1, 7.4 and (presumably) 7.4.1 (and also the crash when they try using "Help > Update Existing Software" instead of using the Update tab in the control panel).
One way around it (for some folks) is to go to the Advanced tab in their QuickTime control panel, and check "Safe mode (GDI only)". With that setting in place, OK out of the control panel, restart QuickTime and try another check for updates.

Can't get quicktime to download

okay, I first tried to download the new itunes 6 and quicktime 7.03 package yesterday and always(after about 5 times) when I tried to open itunes, an error message came up saying that itunes needs quicktime 7.03 to run. I thought i already downloaded it. so i did some searching in my files and i tried to delete quicktime and itunes together from my computer and then download it again. i couldnt delete quicktime until i went into safe mode and i deleted it. then, i tried downloading the itunes/quicktime package again but the only thing that downloaded was itunes. now, itunes wont open, quicktime doesnt even install, and when i try calling for support from my pc manufacturer they expect me to pay 259 dollars for it to be fixed! can anybody help me out?

okay... i just got this stuff figured out... first... try installing the new itunes and if you already have dont delete anything from the itunes folder... go to this website and download the standalone qt http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html after its about to finish downloading, then an error message may pop up... ignore it and keep pressing yes... when u get this error message, it meens that it has deleted EVERYTHING that had to do with quicktime before. now go back to the website and download it again... it should work

MPEG-4 video files won't play in Quicktime

I bought movies on iTunes and I can only watch them on my iPod. I can't view the movies with Quicktime or with iTunes. The movies are MPEG-4 video files. Any suggestions? I can't figure it out.

I solved my problem with MP4 and MOV files not playing on my Windows XP Pro PC.
Short solution: Reinstall latest NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA not Microsoft.
A few days ago, I decided to rebuild my PC from scratch, after deciding to change from Norton to McAfee for performance reasons. I reinstalled Windows XP Pro from the installation disks and performed Microsoft Update to bring it up to current. I then manually installed all optional software and hardware "updates". Installing the optional video driver turned out to be the cause of the problem, but I did not know it then. It was a very obsolete driver - NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003
I downloaded and installed Quicktime with iTunes which installed QuickTime 7.4.1 and iTunes 7.6.0.29. Neither would play MP4 or even MOV files. I got garbled, scrambled, blocks of colored video. Audio would play OK.
A re-install of QuickTime did not help and both products said they were up to date.
A temporary quick-fix was to uncheck DirectX - Enable Direct3D Video accelleration in QuickTime-Edit-Preferences-QuickTime Preferences-Advanced, or select Safe Mode (GDI only).
The permanent fix was to update the video drivers and NOT use the Microsoft supplied update. I went to www.nvidia.com, selected "support" on the taskbar, clicked "download drivers", entered product type=Legacy and GeForce3 Series and Windows XP and clicked Search. That found ForceWare Release 90 version 93.71 dated Nov 2, 2006. It supports a huge number of NVidia cards. I downloaded it and installed it and everything worked after that.
To prevent Microsoft Update from re-installing the Optional Hardware video driver, run Microsoft Update manually (e.g. from IE-Tools-Windows Update) click "Custom", select Optional Hardware, Expand the NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003 and check "Don't show this update again". Then close Microsoft Update. (while you are at it, do the same for the optional audio update. That really messed up my system)
I hope this helps at least a few people. Good luck.

Windows Quicktime Pro problems - no video screens [under "file"]

I have downloaded and installed Quicktime Pro and keyed in correct registration codes. [Quicktime 7 Pro is displayed] When in Apple Quicktime Pro- I am unable to see any kind of video screen data under "file" - Audio info is there [New audio recording]- but no video screens of any kind. I thought that maybe Quicktime Pro could not recognize my web camera [Panasonic]
I have tried: switching firewire cards[3 others] and switched around quicktime preferences ie - Video to Safe mode/Direct X - still no change.
When I connect camera, Digital Video device on computer acknowledges that there is a camera and gives me 4-5 software choices ie - Adobe, Windows Media Player but Quicktime Pro is not one of them.
Help ! - Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Cannot deselect 'safe mode' in Quicktime, audio stutter + other errors

So everyone's got a problem with itunes 7 in one way or another. Most popular is the error about audio stutter whilst playing back in itunes. For those of you who havent tried deselecting 'safe mode' in Quicktime, do it now, coz it should work.
But it doesn't for me. I deselect, then apply, then run itunes, still getting the stutter. I then check the setting again in quicktime to find that the safe mode option has magically selected itself again. aarrgh!
To add to this i regulalry get the error message; 'an error occured while updating the defualt player for audio file types, you do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.'
i have made sure i am logged in as administrator, i have slected the options under 'set program access and defaults,' i have reinstalled itunes and quicktime several times. I have disabled my firewall and followed just about every piece of advice available on these pages. Does anyone have any fresh ideas?
SORT IT OUT APPLE!!!!

Same here guys:>) The interesting thing is that iTunes 7 works flawlessly in my other machines running Windows 2000 professional and Windows XP professional. The computer I'm having no luck with is a Windows XP Home addition with Service Pack 2. Of course everything worked fine with the previous versions of iTunes. Another difference may be that the computer in question also has a PCI audio card, an RME DIGI96PAD. I have upgraded the driver, upgraded direct X but with no avail. Apple, WHERE ARE YOU? I can't listen to my music! This will reflect on your stock price you know?

FCP to DVD Studio Pro exporting help needed - desperatey......

Hi.
Please help me if you can.
I am exporting a Quicktime movie from FCP for DVD Studio Pro 4. I chose the MPEG 4 option in the compression, make it best quality and bounce it. But when I look at the self-contained mov file, every time a person walks across the screen I am getting little lines on the light parts of the screen or a beating or sizzling effect in the dark parts. Basically it looks like everything is "alive" somewhat - objects like curtains seem to sizzle.
Can someone guide me in the proper choices to make when exporting from FCP to import into DVD Studio Pro? There is not an MPEG-2 or M2V option, and the MPEG compression breaks it down to MPEG-2 or M2v upon import into DVD Studio Pro anyway.
I guess I don't know how to get the best quality bounce from FCP, in order to have a file that is less that 4G in size. Can someone please advise?
There are no directions on exporting FOR DVD Studio Pro in the Final Cut books, nor was there a FCP prep covered in the DVD SP books.

Quick workflow from FCP -> DVDSP:
In FCP, File Export QuickTime Movie
Select DVD Studio Pro Markers in the Markers drop-down (leave other settings as is)
Save QT Movie to your preferred location
In DVDSP, import your newly-created QT Movie
(You may want to confirm your encoding settings - both in terms of bit rate and whether
you're encoding on build or have background coding enabled - prior to this step though)
Best Quality workflow:
In FCP, trash the render files for your sequence
From the Menu, File Export Using Compressor
Now, in Compressor, select the appropriate preset(s): DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes - 4:3
Optional: Delete the AIFF setting completely
Select the appropriate destination(s)
Optional: For the Dolby preset, alter Dialog Normalization (under the Audio tab of the Inspector) to -31. In the Preprocessing tab, alter the Compression Preset to None
Click Submit
Once the encode is done, import the .m2v and .ac3 (and/or .aiff) files into DVDSP
It's only fair to tell you that since this produces (pretty much) the best possible quality from Compressor, it may take as much as 5x-10x as long as the 'quick workflow' detailed earlier. (Especially if you've set DVDSP to do a one-pass encode)

Most elementary question abt fcp and compressor

what i need to do in order to transfer my video work (from fcp) to dvd maintaning the SAME video quality? pls, at least one or two procedures to suggest, obviously the best ones.

The procedure you are asking about in the way you asked is called archiving.
Namely, saving a copy of your edited work from FCP on to a DVD Data disc as storage media.
Is that in fact what you want or are you asking about making the best quality DVD Video with the resources you have?
you can not do as you ask in any DVD authoring application including DVDSP or iDVD as the Quicktime video file will be compressed resulting a big loss in quality. This loss however is acceptable for most end viewers to watch.
If you want to make a DVD Video, then export your finished edit from FCP as a self contained QT movie, import that into iDVD or if using DVDSP import into compressor to make an M2V file then import that into DVDSP
thats the basics, I suggest doing the tutorials in either application to find out the details

Export with Compressor or QT?

I finally make the move to Studio Pro5 and FCP5, love the FCP and now have a confusing problem with a movie that I want to export with Chapters to DVDSP5.
Choices:
1. Export to QT, save as (not conversion), self contained from FCP with chapters,
only to import it into DVDSP5 for chapters and so I can then compress the
movie?
2. Export Compressor conversion for DVDSP5 but, I dont see my chapters from
FCP timeline.
(This would be ok if my chapters from FCP5 showed up)
What happened to the direct QT to mpeg2 with chapters, Quick and direct.
I guess im trying to find out from someone the workflow from exporting a movie from FCP5 with chapters into DVDSP5.
It seems the manuals are not 100% accurate or clear on this process.

As to why Apple removed the MPEG-2 Encoder from QuickTime, if you're truly curious, the official explanation is detailed in this Knowledge Base document: MPEG-2 export options in Final Cut Pro: Compressor and QuickTime.

HD DVD Autoring

Dear all
I have a few questions please I would be grateful if someone could help with.
I have created a HD 1080i projected in FC Pro and now want to burn a HD DVD if possible.
I have become aware from reading this forum (with great dismay as I have only just invested in Final cut studio 2) that DVDSP has a HD format which is now defunct and useless on all machines apart from Macs and the odd old Toshiba DVD player.
Am I correct in thinking this?
If this is true do apple intend to address this issue or is DVDSP destined to remain a standard definition authoring tool?
Am i loosing the quality I have achieved by creating a SD DVD project rather than maintaining HD parameters throughout?
That issue aside I have attempted to export my edit line (7mins) from FC using compressor in the standard HD H.264 60min settings. The file exports and the movie plays in quicktime which is all great, here is where my issues begin. I attempt to import the quicktime file into a DVDSP HD project and the quicktime file appears as audio only. No matter what I try I can not get the H.264 File to import as a movie!!
I would appreciate any help at all as I have little hair left as it is and value the thinning remnants!
Many Thanks

Unknown. Apple does not pre-announce new software.

You are loosing resolution. But most people still watch SD DVDs even on their HDTVs.

Make sure you have changed the preferences in DVD SP BEFORE you bring any assets into your project.

Compressor adds digital artifacts on cross dissolves

Hi can anyone help me?
I have exported a sequence (10-Bit Unconpressed PAL, Upper) using the compressor preset DVD Best quality, 2 pass, VBR.
When i play the exported M2v, some of the cross dissolves seem to have some kind of digital artifacts in the middle of the dissolve taking place (which is not there on the source material on the timeline in FCP 5)
can anyone help me?
Cheers, Simon

Simon, I had the same problems. Export as quicktime self-contained, include DVDSP markers and DON'T check the recompress all frames box! Including the DVDSP markers makes sure the compression markers are exported as well. It makes sense to insert and name DVD chapter markers as well in FCP, as they will be included in the mv2 file you eventually import into DVDSP.
Then import the quicktime into compressor, and create a new preset that is 1-pass, NO VBR, 7.2 bitrate, motion estimator BEST. If you drag your movie into the preview window you can see all the compression markers that FCP automatically included, as well as the chapter markers (different color).
Submit the job. You can compress the audio to AC-3 the same time as you compress the video by adding the Dolby 2 function to your new 1-pass preset. All your audio must be 48K 16bit in FCP before you export, or it will go into the center channel on 5.1 sound systems.
Import the finished m2v and audio files into DVDSP. Notice how your chapter markers you inserted in FCP magically appear! Do your menus and buttons etc., then build the job. I don't use build/format as I have had better luck just dragging the master build folder that contains the VIDEO_TS folders into TOAST 6 and burning it at 1X DVD setting just to be safe.
All my previously artifacted movies, which are heavily effected with lots of transitions. NOW HAD NO ARTIFACTS WHATSOEVER! My thought of suicide or at least a Ben & Jerry's binge had passed!
All I did was a little tweaking, basically encoding using compressor's "lower quality" 1-pass setting, not the usual DVD 90-min. best setting, which the manual says to use for the best possible quality.
You can bypass Compressor stand-alone completely, because DVDSP uses Compressor to encode imported quicktimes as well, and you can change the settings to 1-pass 7.2 bitrate there as well. Compressor just has more advanced settings available.
FCP also uses Compressor when you "export using quicktime conversion." So it's hard to get away from using it unless you have a third party mpeg2 encoder. I'm thinking about BitVice, which markets its product as "Probably the best software MPEG2 encoder in the world"

Drop zone (transparent) over motion menu problem

Hello.
I've created a semi-transparent photoshop file that I would like to use as a dropzone. When I import the psd file, DVDSP lists it as a "quicktime picture". When I drag the asset over my motion menu the part that is supposed to be transparent is white and covers up the entire motion background. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong here?
Has anyone had success using transparent graphics in DVDSP 4?
Thanks.

i dont believe you can mix photoshop files the way you are intending with motion menus. I know you can create custom drop zones and patches using photoshop, but this is a more involved process than just dropping a psd over motion. I have exported tga that maintains transparency information and used them to success as drop zones. you could try that.
It would be better to bring you psd into a compositing program like motion, after effects, or even final cut, and create the motion for your menu there. Export it, compress it to m2v and bring that into dvd sp.

I will give $100 to the person who can solve this problem once and for all.

I'm not even kidding, dude. We can do PayPay, I'll mail you a check, whatever you want. That is how frustrating this is, that is how badly I want it fixed, and that is how much overtime I've worked lately thanks to being shorthanded at my place of biz-nass. I'm an hombre of my word, so if you actually come up with a solution that works, the cheddar will be yours. Okay let's hit it.
It's the skipping thing. First 10-12 seconds of a song - every song - will play fine, then iTunes skips, stutters, and basically does the god **** hokey pokey and shakes it all about. It happens most notably with songs that I double-click to play, but I'm pretty much noticing it on any song now after a transition is made. I've been using iTunes for ages and this didn't happen until the upgrade to 7.3. I have poured over these forums for nearly a week, tried every solution offered (even offered one of my own that actually worked for maybe four days before the whole thing started up again) and NOTHING. To save us all some time, here's what I've tried:
- Downgrading. I'll admit I didn't do this correctly at first. I didn't remove everything according to the support guidelines, but I went down to version 6.05 and that did nothing to quell the skipping. I upgraded back up to 7.3 because hey, why not, and attempted the remaining trial fixes. I have since removed both iTunes and Quicktime, step my step according the the guidelines, and not only have I downgraded to my current running version of 7.2, I put both of the programs on my F drive (as opposed to the default C drive), my gigantic bonus internal drive where I typically keep nothing but my giganto music library. I thought putting the app on the same drive as the music might fix things. I thought wrong. Dead wrong. Dead diddly dum iddly wrong.
- Quicktime settings. My settings for Quicktime have always been in safe mode with the output size at 16 bits. So when I saw this "fix" I just rolled my eyes. I used to have that dealio back in the dizzle when iTunes would just get all static-y and skip when I'd open other programs or even just minimize it, so that fix worked for that, but it's nothing compared to this. In simpler terms, that fix is like Superman, and this skipping? The kryptonite. Actually that's probably not a great metaphor, but we've got a ways to go and this is going to get mucho boring if I don't throw some chuckles out there. Ready for fix three? Giddy up!
- Turn off cross-fade? It's never been on. I never really got the appeal of that, and also I think it resulted in some minor skipping back in the d. I also attempted similar fixes like turning off the equalizer, messing with the volume, closing last.fm, REMOVING an old album art retrieval program from back before iTunes got its **** together with album art, ANYTHING that might interfere with playback was turned off, removed, b-slapped, and sent crying home to its moms. Nada.
- Recreating my library. This was the fix I offered someone else, because it actually did the trick for a few days. After an entire night spent reimporting 73 gigs worth of music, it played fine, but I did lose a ton of album art, playcounts, etc, so you can imagine how ****** I was when this wound up not being a permanent fix. I was beyond ******. I was livid. But I was taught in the dojos of my youth to channel my anger into productivity, and instead of sculpting a lovely bonsai tree, I set out to fix this pup once and for all.
- That darn anti-virus! This was the final fix I tried, even though I wasn't using any of the culprit programs listed in the forums as causes of the skipping, and even those offering this as a solution confessed it was pretty hit or miss. But having tried everything else, having resorted to playing my music on MediaMonkey of all things, I figured I'd give it a shot. I used (reason for the past-tense forthcoming) AVG Anti-Virus, Lavasoft AdAware and something called Spyware Doctor that I think just came bundled with XP. I removed all of them. I had just done a virus scan recently to see if that's what was causing this, so I figured I'd be okay until I could redownload them after this fix wound up not working. And it didn't work, so there's that.
There may be a couple of fixes I've tried that I'm forgetting now, since I'm delirious after spending practically every night for the past week trying to fix this problem, while my girlf, Heather, sits and laughs at me while watching Clark and Michael on her MacBook. In fact, she's laughing at the $100 offer as I type this, but I assure you, if you offer a solution that works, the money is as good as yours. If you come up with a workable solution, I'll have to test and make sure it isn't temporary like the recreating my library thing, but I won't leave you hanging once I'm satisfied that it's fixed for good. I know it's unorthodox, perhaps illegal in some states, but I'm desperate here, peeps. The ball is in your court, and I beg you not to give up the rock.

I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

Why does Itunes stutter when using AE on a wired network?

Itunes stutters badly when I try to use AE with remote speakers. I am running on an older PC with 512 RAM and a Penitum 4 2.6 GHz Chip. All my Apple Itunes software and firmware is up to date. I have already gone to Quicktime and am now using Safe Mode with Waveout only. So that doesn't work even though many posts suggest this is a solution. I also note that when turn off the remote speakers Itunes plays back perfectly on my computer speakers. I monitored my CPU activity and it does seem to correspond with the stuttering but it only reaches a top of 15-20% so its not like I have taxing the system. Also its not a wireless problem since I am doing this with an AE unit in wired mode (though I am using a powerline system to wire my house rather than ethernet cable). I have searched high and low for an answer. I am guessing that my old processer just cannot handle the demands that the AE unit requires to stay in sync or something along those lines. Thanks for any help or wisdom.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem. When I connect to the AE wirelessly itunes streams music to it and through my amp / speakers without any skips / stuttering. When i dock the laptop (which disables the wireless card) and itunes streams using the wired lan it starts to skip every 5 or 6 seconds after approximately 4 minutes of play. I have also tried changing the quicktime settings (though feel these may only fix the skipping problem when playing through the PC directly) and the buffer time in itunes. This problem is really annoying, can anyone help?
