DVDSP final burn issue

Finally getting to burn stage in my attempt to convert HD to SD letterbox but always get a "Video TS_Folder in build" that stops the progress. How would I remove/alter that?

Thanks, check my previous msg as to what I did. I tried all that Compression stuff and DVDSP and it all just didn't work, almost like I was missing one or two important points. Trouble with advice in this forum sometimes is that the helper presumes that the helpee knows what he does.
I appreciate it and all, but I'm just not good at Compression and DVDSP, and I have a friend much more tech than me coming over on the wk-end to show me step-by-step. I'm simply not there yet and any explanation has proved to be too complex, as dumb as that sounds, at least for me. There's always a step or two missing, but sometimes it works. Trouble with FCP also is that it has so many ways to do a single job.
I did accomplish my goal as indicated in the msg before yours, in a round-about way that probably is regarded as basic, but it worked, I got my letterbox DVDs.
thanks again

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.

  • How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

    how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

    Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
    Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
    Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good. 

  • IDVD keeps ejecting my disc before final burn can anyone help

    My iDVD movie keeps ejecting the disc before the final burn what can I do

    • Material used: Video-Codec and Photo file format and Audio file format - matters too. I use
    - Video - StreamingDV .dv or AIC
    - Photos as .jpg (only)
    - Audio as .aiff 16bit 44.1kHz or 48kHz (ONLY - never .mp3 or directly from iTunes - all converted to .aiff first)
    With this I do not mean any setting in iDVD - BUT the raw material used in iMovie / FinalCut / Avid 100 / Adobe Premiere
    As this usually matters - later in iDVD
    How did You Export from Video-editing program used ? I prefer
    • iMovie HD6 - just drop the movie project icon (NOT iMovie Icon - the PROJECT one) over into iDVD big menu window (avoiding - drop-zones as they are for other tasks)
    • iMovie'08 to '11 - Share to MEDIA BROWSER - AND AS MEDIUM - not HD or other resolution as iDVD does a bad downscaling job.
    • iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) - Share as 480p - Import this into iDVD
    • FinalCut (Pro or Express) - Export as QuickTime .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMPORTANT
    • Adobe Premiere - I don't know - not tested Yet
    • Avid 100 - I don't know - not tested Yet
    Cleaning the DVD-burner - If it Burns DVDs OK then that's may be not the problem - But if it only burns CDs OK then either the DVD-burning-laser is dirty or broken.
    It is very easy to kill this DVD-laser as it over-heats if one burns several DVDs in a row. I only burn three at a time - then let it cool down for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs.

  • Yet another CD burning issue--won't finish "finishing"

    The subject pretty much says it all. When I try burning a CD, the computer seems to go through the process just fine until the status becomes "Burning disc.....finishing," at which time, it stops. iTunes still works and is responsive, but the CD won't finish.
    I've also tried burning discs with Windows Media Player, but it doesn't seem to work either.
    Immediate responses would be greatly appreciated--I need to burn a disc as a gift ASAP!
    Thanks in advance.
    (Please note that at the time I ran the diagnostics, it still said it was "Burning disc.....finishing." Not sure if that's relevant or not, but figured it was worth noting anyway.)

    Drive is empty.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4220(0x0000107c). It happened on drive D: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B on CDR media at speed 12X.

    hmmmmm.
    i think i found your drivers and downloads page at Emachines:
    Emachines T-series T1150
    but there's not a lot of items of interest available there.
    on the other hand, according to Samsung's support site, there's a newer version of the firmware available for your SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B. you've got R201, and they have R205 available for download:
    Samsung SW-224B
    so it might be prudent to contact your Emachines technical support, tell them you're troubleshooting a burning issue, and asking them if the newer R205 firmware is compatible with the particular Emachines system that you have.

  • Can't burn issues error code 4250-4280

    After several failed attempts at solving my burning issues with Apple support (who had no idea what to do) I have found something out. The new "Protected AAC" formatted songs will cause a "failed burn" error message. I own 2 different computers and have tried 2 different types of CD-Rs. I have found that Windows Media Player will burn just fine, and that in iTunes I can burn all my old music (under "kind" look for "AAC audio file") just fine also. So I seem to have norrowed it down to Apple's new protected formats called "Protected AAC audio file"
    So far this is all I've got. Anyone else have any ideas?

    -54 is a Permissions error that's right ...
    What are you trying to copy/burn ?
    What version of Toast are you running ?
    Remove the DivX QuickTime Plug-In and try burning again as it can mess up some burns ...

  • For All Serious Burning Issues!!

    If you are having serious burning issues and error messages, and after you have freed up atleast 5 gb of HD space on your STARTUP drive (Startup is the drive that your OS is running on) then go to:
    http://superdrive.cynikal.net/
    and download the appropriate Superdrive firmware for your computer. i have used this site several times. Make sure you follow the directions. This is a major change to the software that runs inside of your superdrive, but it usually does the trick for me when I have issues. If you have previously updated your firmware, and are now having issues, go back to the original firmware and see if that works, (it usually does for me). I have updated several times, and never had any issues. My superdrive is atleast 2 and a half years old with heavy use.
    Not sure if Apple approves of doing this, but they don't seem to ever be very helpful with error messages, so this is the best solution for me.

    Not really. You only need enough space to cover the amount of data being burned to the disc, which in most cases is 4.7 gb. You will need more if you are burning larger dvd's and/or dual layer. For years, I have only kept roughly 5 gb available on my system and haven't had any problems.

  • Image burn issue

    Hi all, I am having the image burn issue on my sony vaio duo 11 like. Please check the following link for the images. In my case the burn is visible when the background is grey and I work in the desktop mode for some time. I request your feedback and help in solving this issue. http://bit.ly/11FTG08 [with comments] See the bottom. You can see Windows notification area there   You can clearly see a white navigation bar of google chrome which is opened in the desktop mode  
      I have taken all of these pictures with my mobile camera which is 3 years old. Otherwise the imageburn is very clear and distinct to me. Best regards,Naveen.

    kamesh419,
    This is working as intended.  It is the transparent function of Aero.  If the user switches back to desktop view, you can see some of the Start Menu background.  This is not a burn in issue.
    If you want you can turn off Aero and the transparent image will go away both in the Start Menu and also from the Desktop view.
    Turn off Aero
    1)      Go to the Start Menu
    2)      Type Computer
    3)      Right click on Computer and select properties
    4)      Click on Advanced System settings
    5)      Select Settings under Performance
    6)      Select “Adjust for best performance”
    7)      Click apply and ok.

  • OSS 3D caused iTunes burning issues

    A bit of information for those that have iTunes burning issues.
    I installed OSS 3D v 1.62, a sound enhancer programme for iTunes on 14/08/06 and started having CD burning issues... iTunes wouldn't burn beyond 2 tracks and then froze before "finishing".
    On uninstalling OSS 3D today 19/08/06, the iTunes problem I encountered were fixed.
    If you have issues re burning check recently installed software.

    update ... ran sfc /scannow as admin.  windows reports 100% integrity.

  • Found solution to my CD burning issues

    I posted a response to SoFLPhillyFan concerning my CD
    burning issues. I may have been a bit hasty (sorry Apple).
    I use MSI auto update for my chipset drivers. The auto
    update indicated that I had the most recent drivers. This
    was not true, as nVidia had a slightly more recent version.
    Updating my chipset drivers solved the problem and I can
    now burn CD's. Still, I did not have this problem prior to
    the 7.X iTunes update (hmmmm....).

    Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.

  • Itunes 8.01 cd burning issues. Please Help

    wondering if anyone else has been experiencing the same issue i have in itunes 8.01. When i burn a disc now i have an array of issues. 1st, with the same media i used successfully before, sometimes when i attempt to burn a audio cd i get a dialog box that reads burn disc fail, unable to calibrate the laser for this media. It happens at various write speeds, so not sure what wrong. Also the few disc i was successful in burning skip during playback and will-not play in certain cd players. The bottom of the disc is scratch-less and everything appears normal. Lost at the moment. Anyone have a solution or suggestions please help. Or is their a certain type of cd that works best.
    thank you
    bac

    Just got it back from the shop? Did you mention the CD burning issues when you took it in? It really sounds to me like you have drive problems more than iTunes problems. The difference is indicated by whether or not Finder recognizes any given disk or not.
    If Finder does not recognize that the drive has a disk in it or can't read the disk, that is most likely a drive problem and is best resolved by Apple service.
    A possible long term, spend money option is to purchase a good external optical drive. If you burn lots of disks, this option makes more sense. I have a LaCie drive that burns all the current formats plus has Light Scribe capability. I don't recall getting a coaster out of it. Plus I can move it from computer to computer.
    "1 coaster in 5 with 7" means that he got 1 bad disk out of 5 burns with iTunes version 7. If you have been using Time Machine than you can restore the application from the applications folder some time back, when you had a previous version of iTunes. If not, restoring an older version becomes more tricky and I have to rely on the advice of others to tell us how to do that.
    If you are not backing up your system with Time Machine or something else (Time Machine is really the best, I think), back up a couple files from your iTunes folder. Copy and save somewhere the 'iTunes Library' file as well as the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file. If something happens and all your library info (a list of all the music you've added plus playlists, etc) can be restored by simply replacing those files in your iTunes folder with the ones you saved somewhere else. You need to update the saved files periodically as you add music or otherwise change things in your iTunes, but that is no big deal. Just periodically re-copy the files to the place where they are saved and click 'Replace' in the pop-up when prompted.
    Hope this helps. Please let me know.

  • Let's all contact Apple about CD imports and burning issues

    While reading through the posts here, it appears that there are alot of us with issues dealing with iTunes and CD imports and CD burning. Even using Quicktime 7.1.3, I still cannot even play a CD track. I can use other applications to import music, but the bottom line is that iTunes should let us import CD tracks. It doesn't. If you are having problems with these slow CD imports, or CD burning with iTunes 7, then we all need to contact Apple. I suggest that instead of trying to find a workaround, lets all get Apple to correct their iTunes application. When you open iTunes, click on iTunes in the toolbar across the top of your monitor and scroll down to the line "Provide iTunes feedback" Fill out the questions and describe exactly what CD import/burning issues that you are having. We will not hear back from Apple individualy, but if we all start letting them know directly that there is an issue, maybe they will get the message and fix these problems. We all appear to be passionate about Apple and iTunes. Lets get these problems resolved. Okay?

    I am having no problems. I did with my Ti667 when the optical drive died.
    I am onto the latest version of iTunes and can report no problems for me.
    Oppp......... my iTS country changes and I changed back and my account is in good order.

  • DVDSP burn issue

    Upgraded to Lion and immediately found DVD Studio Pro useless as it will not burn a disc. Recently reverted back to Snow Leopard for a number of reasons but still have the same problem. When I try to burn I get an almost instantaneous message that says, "Formatting Failed" "See Log". Log says, "Build cancelled Compiler File Error". Since custom menus are not currently an issue I've been burning out of FCP share with no problems. Thoughts?

    Sorry, no, but we've seen at least one other similar post about Lion breaking most of the FCS3 apps. After you reverted back to Snow Leopard, did you reinstall the FCS3 bundles? Might be ncessary to replace all the stuff that Lion apparently killed.

  • Overall Quality Issue on final burn

    I have observed that the quality of the final DVD is far less than when I view the video direct out of the camera, and wonder if anyone can advise me if I have any of the settings wrong. I am using a Canon XL2 with Premere Elements 3.
    The settings I am using are;
    DVD PAL, 25 FPS. Frame Size 720h, 576v. Frame rate 25fps. Pixel aspect D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16;9. Fields - Lower field first.
    Audio - 48000 samples per second - DV capture
    Rendering - Max Bit Depth off. Preview DV PAL. Compression DV PAL. Millions of Colour.
    Any help or advice would be welcome.

    Well, video on a DVD is compressed at least five times as much as video on a miniDV camcorder, John. So there's going to be some reduced quality -- even more if you try to squeeze more than an hour's video on a DVD disk.
    But the quality shouldn't be "far less", if you working from DV footage captured by the program over FireWire. Premiere Elements uses the Main Concept DVD codec for compression, the same codec used by its prosumer Encore program.

  • Final Burn Not Working On All DVD Players

    Hey Guys - I just completed a DVD (first time using DVDSP) for a client and they just called to tell me that the master copy isn't working on some DVD players they've tried. It's been working on their computers, and it worked on my Samsung DVD player at home, but they're having issues. I just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2. If I need to include more info about the project just ask. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Take a look at this thread about some things for compatibility
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=979439&tstart=0
    When they say isn't working, do they mean not playing or not playing well? How did you burn the disc?
    Did you do a clean install of the Studio (removed other versions?) there seemed to be some issues with that (more so in otheer apps)
