DVPFX980 DVD Player MP4 Bitrates

I'm thinking about getting one, but was wondering what the limit for bitrates is. I do know that it supports mp4 simple profile from reading the manual, but what about other specs like the bitrate, fps, etc. I'm thinking that keeping it under 1 mb/s might work, but what do I know?
I use ffmpeg, so I need that information.
Also, does the DVPFX980 stretch the video to fill the screen, or is it displayed in a "letterbox" type of thing?
Any help would be thanks,
Pablo

Bit rate can describe the quality of an audio or video file. The DVP-FX980 portable DVD player does not support FFmpeg format.
Depending on how the movie was formatted, you may adjust the picture size (page 15 of the manual).

IDVD selectively won't recognize .mp4 format - how to burn for dvd player?

Hi -
I'm trying to burn a .mp4 movie for my gf's family so they can watch it on their TV instead of my tiny comp. After trying DiskUtility and iTunes (both to no avail, DU wouldn't even allow me to select a .mp4 format to burn on the DVD; iTunes burnt the movie, but it doesn't play on the DVD player ...). I thought I'd try iDVD, but it won't recognize the movie I'd like to burn - says the format is unrecognized. Tried with another movie, same format (.mp4) and it worked just fine.
I'm really at a loss - I didn't expect it would be so difficult to burn a DVD! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Rax

Alright, my results correspond with Russ' hypothesis: both videos I tried are in the same format & at the same FPS, the only difference b/w them is the audio. The one that worked is Stereo (L R), the one that does not is the 5.1.
Unfortunately, I do not have Quick Time Pro, I just have QTP 10.1 that came w/ Lion (& an older version that I added b/c it allows playback speed control). Here, the export options are:
480p
720p
iPod touch & iPhone 3GS
iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV
Audio only
None of these were an obvious choice to me, any suggestions? I've heard something about "Toast", would this be an easier / better option?
Thank you for on-going help. Very much appreicated.
Kind regards,
Rax

I need an app for my Mac Pro to convert MP4 to MOV format to play in a DVD player

I need an app for my Mac Book Pro to convert MP4 to MOV format to play in a DVD player. Thanks

Quicktime can do this.
Open the MP4 in Quicktime Player. From the menu bar, File >Export > select quality. The subsequent file will be saved as .mov
Alternatively, you can simply change the extension on the mp4 file to mov since the codec is the same.
*I should mention that .mov format is not DVD format (TS_VIDEO), and the DVD will not play in a DVD player, even if you successfully burn the file to it.

Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a dvd player, should i use idvd or what? also have a .avi file what should i use? thanks please help

Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a DVD player and a .AVI file what program should I use idvd?

iDVD may or may not work with them – depending what kind of MP4 and AVI each is.
Drag them into iDVD and preview them to check compatibility.
If there are issues, use MPEG Streamclip and re-wrap them as QuickTime.

Windows Movie Maker won't play on DVD player

I have the OS7 now
The instruction say that a burned MASTER disc will play on DVD players and most computers???
I have used Mp4 and WMV formats with Windows Movie Maker, but none will play on DVD players but play well on computers???
I had formally use the Windows DVD Maker and the final file was UBF which seemed to work on all players and computers. My DVD Maker will not allow completion of Movie, it notes, " I need the proper codes to make it work"??
I have looked on the Microsoft site for these support codes but cannot find them??? Windows Movie worked well on my Vista OS. What has MS done to screw up this software???

You need to read the owner's manual for your DVD player to find out exactly what video formats it will play. Then you must ensure you record your video to DVD in a format that is recognized by your DVD player. The Windows 7 Windows Movie Maker
may have a different default video format output that what you were using in Vista. You have the option to specify the format of the video you record to DVD.

DVD Studio burn works on computer, error on DVD Player. iDVD works fine.

I'm a new DVD Studio user. I've spent a few days researching this problem but am running out of answers. I've had no problems using iDVD. I haven't got a successful burn from DVD Studio as of yet. I've used +R and -R and a few different brands of each to make sure that's not the problem.
I've created the movie in FC Pro 5 and exported the movie as a Quicktime Movie. Imported into DVD Studio. Created a menu. Simulator works fine. Pressed Burn. After burn the DVD Player pops up and plays the movie fine. Put it into DVD player and receive an error message.
Bitrate looks to be set at 4.0Mbps - 7.0Mbps, One Pass VBR.
Any advise would be great.

You know what is strange I know a few people who have DVD Players that play thingss from iDVD perfectly, but seem to choke out on DVD SP projects. Actually tried it myself to see (in other words, proper compression etc.), the DVD SP discs fail (though they will play on other machines fine) but the iDVD discs work. And you would htink since iDVD uses PCM audio they would have more issues

DVD created with Encore won't play on DVD player

Hello everyone,
I didn't reply to the other topic I posted here, but that problem (I think) is fixed. It turned out to be a size problem. I just reencoded the main movie at a lower bitrate and that problem should be resolved.
The final disc image now comes out at about 6.8-7gb out of an 8.5gb dual layer disc. So I should have plenty of room with no space issues.
However, I am having a new problem that I didn't have before. I really am feeling a time crunch to finish this project in the next day or two. Everything is finished. It looks great. I built an iso with Adobe Encore and mounted it and tested it in PowerDVD.
Everything was completely flawless. All the menus, the videos, the animation, everything.
So I go to burn the disc with Imgburn. I burn it at 2.4x (the slowest my drive will write at). Anyway, when it is finished it will NOT play on my dvd player. Actually, I am using a PS3 to test it out but it is the only dvd player I have to use right now. I have burned many discs with Encore before and they all worked great on my PS3.
So, I have traded one problem for another. When I posted my previous topic, that disc I burned played on my PS3. Part of the video was cut off but it played at least. I can get the disc to play on my computer though. I don't know if it is reading it as a folder or what.
I have tried redoing the project from scratch twice. I removed all the assets, started a new project and carefully imported all the menus, videos and subtitles one at a time to be sure I didn't do anything wrong. I looked for any settings that could be screwing things up but I couldn't find any. I think I burned three or four discs that have all turned out the same.
Are there any specific settings that I might be missing? Why would my disc not be playing in my PS3?
Please help me finish this project.

I am using a PC, Windows 7 64bit.
The burner is an LG WH08LS20.
The media is Verbatim DataLifePlus Inkjet Printable DVD+R DL discs.
The problem is I have created many, many discs using Encore that have played perfectly fine on my PS3. In fact, just a couple days ago when I created the last topic I created a dvd that played fine on my PS3. It had problems with cutting off parts of the video like I said, but at least it played.
I don't think I am doing anything different in the creation of these discs now. I am completely stumped.
When I put the disc in my ps3 nothing happens. The dvd doesn't load automatically. And there is no option under "video" to select it.
Do you have any ideas that could help me fix this problem?

DVD not working properly when played on DVD player

I created a DVD using FCP and DVDSP, it plays fine on my Mac and my regular DVD player. However, it plays once through on a TV Guardian DVD Player and then will not play again. I don't know much about these players but they filter foul language and such when playing DVDs. The DVD that I created doesn't have foul language or anything that would be considered objectionable on it.
Has anyone had experience with these types of players or this situation?

Another thing to check is your bitRates and whether you encoded the audio to A.Pack/Dolby. I have often seen machines play once or twice then start having playback issues or not play. It can be related to the encode rates (and it may not behave across different machines the same way, in other words it will continue to play fine on some players and not another)

Burn dvd's from mac won't play on DVD player

I'm getting an error 'can't read disk' from my samsung bd-p2550 when trying to play a moving i created on my Mac Mini. I've created the movie using iPhoto to create a slide show movie. i renamed the resulting file from M4V to MP4 and burned to a DVD-R disk. inserted into the samsung dvd player and got the error message, even though the samsung is supposed to support mp4.
next i downloaded FLV Crunch and converted the MP4 to VOB(mpeg 2) format. burnt to another disk, same error.
i did some google searching and they talk about VIDEO_TS directories (which i see on my store bought movie dvd's). is there some directory structre that makes movies playable on a DVD player connected to a TV?
i can play the dvd's on my Mac Mini from the internal DVD drive, so that seems to indicate the file structure is ok.
Any other thoughts?
thanks!

Why use mp4 if it to be played on a DVD Player?
Save the project as a DV mov file and burn the DVD again in the usual DVD format of mpeg2.

Using an animation-friendly codec for decoding DVDs to MP4

Hi,
I have some purchased cartoon DVDs that I'd like to convert into MP4s for travel purposes etc. Using Handbrake has resulted in a lot of artifacts, and I wonder if using an animation-specific codec would give better results - not to mention smaller file sizes. Could someone advise me how to go about converting DVDs to MP4s using an animation codec? I own QT 7 Pro and iMovie. I also have Diva and Drop2DV.
NB: I am aware of the copyright restrictions on recorded media and wish to re-assure the MPAA, RIAA, FACT, PRS, FBI, CIA, CPS and South-East England Water and Sewerage Workers Union that I in no way intend to distribute, freely or otherwise, any of the backups I may make as a result of receiving information on this forum.
Cheers,

Well say you had plain vanilla DVD content from your iDVD you made. The bitrate on the animation codec is huge, and the resulting file would likely be actually larger than from the DVD file you began with. And won't conform to MPEG-4 since it is not the MPEG-4 codec anyway.
Just use MPEG Streamclip, export to MPEG-4 and if this is for iPod press the iPod button. You need the Apple MPEG-2 component and don't forget to fix timecode errors. H264 is plenty good for this transcoding.

Trouble burning a DVD for a DVD player

I am fairly new to Mac so forgive my ignorance but I am having the hardest time burning a DVD-RW in such a way that it will be readable by a DVD player. I have a blu-ray player that can read MP3 and MP4 and still I get a message that says it cannot play the disc. I have tried using Disk Utility, Burn, and iPhoto Slideshow Export.
It works perfectly fine for both Mac and PC computers but not for a DVD player. What are the options?

Have you checked your DVD player that it can actually read DVD-RW? Some cannot. Just out of curiosity - why would you burn to a re-writable disk?
If it is a video/slideshow, then you do need authoring/burn software such as Burn or Roxio Toast in order to burn it in a format DVD players can handle. Finder cannot burn a video/slideshow which will playable in a DVD player.

Playing slideshow on a Dvd player

I did a few slideshows with I photo and I Dvd and it was pretty difficult to burn it on a dvd and play it on a dvd player. I change slideshow program, Fotomagico, and I have the same problem. I have a slideshow Mpeg 4, I can play it on my screen but not on my Tv with a dvd player. Do you know a format that will work for a dvd player? Which converter software can I download?

You are not very specific about what's difficult about burning to the DVD and playing on a DVD player. Most consumer DVD players will not playback MPEG4.
Standard Video DVDs have a very specific layout. The disc itself needs to be recorded in UDF format (which is a variation of the ISO9660 format of CD-ROMs). The disc must have a VIDEO_TS ("video title set") folder at the top level (there can also be an AUDIO_TS folder, but on DVD Video it generally doesn't have any data in it). The VIDEO_TS folder must have a collection of .IFO (title information), .VOB (video object), and .BUP (.IFO file backup) files. There must be one VIDEO_VTS.VOB, VIDEO_VTS.IFO, and VIDEO_VTS.BUP file for the disk VGM (disc title) menu, then a series of VTS_* files with the titles themselves on them.
The .VOB files are actually multiple video (one main, the rest are alternate "angles"), audio (one or more languages, for instance), and subtitle streams multiplexed together. The video must be encoded as MPEG-2 at 9.8 Mbps or less, or MPEG-1 at 1.856 MBps or less. Permitted resolutions are 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, or 352x240 pixels at 29.97 frames per second for NTSC video (used in the USA and Canada), and 720x576, 704x576, 352x576, or 352x288 pixels at 25 frame per second for PAL/SECAM (used in the rest of the world). There are also some specific requirements on the frequency of I, P, and B-frames in the video streams, etc.
The audio may be encoded as PCM, DTS, MP2, or AC3 -- and there are of course requirements as to the frequencies, number of channels, and bitrates permitted for each.
The .IFO files contain information about the number of streams in the VOB, where they are, the chapter information, etc.
When you use iDVD to create and burn a DVD, it takes care of the whole business of encoding and formatting the DVD for you to be compliant with the requirements for DVD Video. You just tell it what you want, and it encodes the video, writes the IFO data, and builds the DVD for you.
When burning a DVD, keep in mind that slower burns result in more reliable disks, so burn the disk at the slowest possible speed. If you are going to burn several copies, and you have disk space, it's handy to simply create a DVD image file that you can burn later with Disk Utility.
Also, keep in mind, not all set-top DVD players handle recordable media (particularly dual-layer and read/write media) very well. Some brands of recordable media are also better than others. Older DVD player may not be able to read recordable DVDs at all. Many players handle DVD+R better than DVD-R, though older players might prefer DVD-R disks.

Burning films to use in a DVD player

Hi,
I have bought several films & TV programes from iTunes for my ATV.
Thay also show up on iTunes.
Can I burn the MP4 download to a DVD to watch a DVD player.
Regards,
Jeff

Can I burn the MP4 download to a DVD to watch a DVD player.
No. iTunes can't create video DVDs, and backup DVDs aren't playable outside of a computer. If the files don't contain DRM, you might be able to burn them elsewhere.

How do I burn photos from macbook air to dvd to play on dvd player

how do I burn my photos to a dvd to be played on dvd player?

You also need to determine what kind of DVDs your player supports. My player will play discs with image files on it. Some players will even play files in mp4 format. If yours will only strictly play DVDs in DVD format then you have to author them with a tool such as iDVD (no longer sold).
If you are playing these at home you might see if you can ouptu video straight to the video device from your MBA.
