Encore's DVDs aren't recognised on my DVD player (Nero's are)

Hiya. I'm using PPROCS3 and EncoreCS3 on a modern PC.
2 min video (one clip, one chapter) no menu.
The discs aren't recognisable in my Ronin DVD player. If I import the AVI into Nero and burn it, it works. Any idea what could be wrong with Encore? I've just wasted 3 DVDs, quite a lot of time, and I suppose potentially, rather a lot of money.
Thanks!..

Damn. Just tried longer projects and they are having problems too. One says 'no disc' the other runs the menu perfectly, but the play button results in playing only the first few seconds of video before it becomes totally jerky or stops playing and just freezes. You can still jump back to the menu.
Nero is still burning DVDs fine..they are having no problems in my DVD player. Unfortunately my career depends on DVD Authoring beyond the professionalism Nero can offer!
Thanks for any ideas

Qosmio G40: HD DVD player black bars are grey

Hello, When I play a HD DVDV movie in my new G40 the black is grey, you see it very well in the black bars that are on the buttom and top of the screen , but the black of the computerscreen around it is ok. How can I get it better. I'm sure it's not the HD DVD-movie itself. Does anyone have a clue (and is it clear what I mean?
Thanks for (the) answers!
John

Here is a suggestion. Go to the Nvidia control panel, choose video and television, and then videocolors (or something like that; I have a dutch version of Vista). You have to lower down the brightness (ie to 40-45%) and higher up contrast (ie 55-60%)
Success!

I bought a tv series and would like to back them up on CD's but I need to change them to MPEG4 to get them to be read by my PS3 or DVD player. They are showing as m4v's right now.

I am looking to find out how to back up a tv series to cd's off of itunes. I back up my songs onto cd's and would like to do the same with my tv series. The problem I am encountering is that I need them as mpeg's . right now they are m4v's. They aren't compatible that way when they save.

Video files purchased from the iTunes store are meant to be played with iTunes. You can't convert "protected" content. A quick web search should find free transcoders for non-protected content, but if you are "backing up" all you need to do is copy the files to somewhere they could be restored from.

HP Pavilion HDX9000 Connect to External DVD Player

Our older HP Pavilion HDX9000 DVD died and we wanted to use an external DVD player to drive the monitor on the HDX9000. It does not seem possible to do this despite the HDMI and many other ports. The PC is running Vista. Any suggestions?

Hi,
What is your external DVD player ? There are many USB DVD players for under $50 and you can use it as internal DVD player. You can't use DVD player from your home Hi Fi system because no available port on your computer to plug it in.

Audio Glitch in Apple DVD player when at the end of a story

Hi Could anyone shine a light on why when I build and open up my dvd project in Apple dvd player there is an audio glitch. But on the original mpeg there is no audio glitch there. I have chapter markered my project in fcp. I have ten storys and one chapter in each story.
when played on a dvd player the glitches are not heard
Any help on this matter would be great.
sam

in Apple dvd player there is an audio glitch. But on the original mpeg there is no audio glitch there.
when played on a dvd player the glitches are not heard
Have you played the DVD with more than one player without hearing glitches? What, exactly is the glitch? A click? In any case what you report suggests that there is a problem with Apple's DVD Player.
Do you hear the glitch when you play the DVD (the physical disk) with Apple's DVD Player?
I seem to be having a similar problem, but I haven't burned a disk and used a DVD player to play it. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1863240&tstart=0
DVDSP shows my soundtrack file to be longer than what it actually is. Is that the case in your situation?

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.

Unable to Connect T7900 To DVD Player

i had bought philips DVP 550 DVD Player which supports 7.1 channel system and i had also bought a Creative T7900. But i m not able to connect the T7900's Stereophonic Pins to the DVD Player, as there are 8 Audio RCA pins to the DVD Player as (Front left&Right, Surround left& right, centre, subwoofer, rear left&right), i m having a problem to connect the streophonic to the RCA pins so please give me a suggestion about this. Manish

You just need to follow Jason-CL's thread for 5.1 and use an extra 3.5mm jack to rca lead for the rear surround.

How to play an Imovie project on DVD player

I used to use iDVD to create slideshows that I could then play on a television using a DVD player. Now that iDVD is not supported, I am trying to use iMOVIE. I was able to create the DVD, but it will only play in a mac or pc. Not in a DVD. What can I do?

If it can be played well on the computer, but not the DVD Player, it can be due to the incompatibility between the disc and the DVD player. Here are some tips for you:
1.Choose a suitable disc, which is compatible with your DVD Player or you can go to this website for help: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers
2. Change another brand of the blank disc to have a try. And please make sure the DVD is created in the same TV standard with the DVD player.

Reinstall DVD player

Hi.
I mistakenly deleted the DVD player off of my machine and cannot figure out how to get it reinstalled. I've searched the forums for a number of solutions and none are working. I've tried restarting with the install DVD in, placing the DVD in after restarting, downloading Pacifist and trying to find the files... all give me nothing. The install DVD simply whirs a bit then ejects itself.
I feel like I'm in an unending circle - trying to load a DVD player from a DVD that can't play without a DVD player - ugh.
Are there any other options? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for missing that you've tried mounting the install disc. I got my head wrapped around using Pacifist and just reread your original. The Terminal command won't work unless the disc's mounted. Zap the PRAM and reset the SMC (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 for details), then try mounting the install disc.

Only Change the DVD Player regions 5 times!?

Really, is Apple so cheap that it thinks that is relevant? I travel, I am an NGO, so I could change regions continuously but I am restricted on my Apple to five region changes. Five! I have now moved to Europe and cannot use the DVD player because I have changed it five times previously, yet i can buy a PC or a travel DVD player that will play any and all DVDs. I now have a useless piece of software on my computer and a have to carry another DVD player because Apple are ******* ******. I actually like Apple but this is ******* me off. Maybe its time to look at the competition...

And each time you were warned that, "You can change the region code of a DVD drive only five times (including the original setting); the fifth setting is permanent", weren't you?
Maybe its time to look at the competition
Definitely. And please do share the results.
Below is an excerpt from my Fujitsu Lifebook user guide (capitalisation and stress is theirs):
• ALL LIFEBOOK DVD PLAYERS ARE SET TO PLAY DVD TITLES WITH REGION CODE NUMBER 1 WHICH IS SPECIFIED FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET. THE REGION NUMBER IS A REGIONAL RESTRICTION CODE DEFINED BY THE DVD FORUM ACTING ON HOLLYWOOD REQUIREMENTS. DIFFERENT REGION CODES ARE RECORDED ON VIDEO DVD TITLES FOR PUBLICATION IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE WORLD. IF THE REGIONAL CODE OF THE DVD PLAYER DOES NOT MATCH THE REGIONAL CODES ON THE TITLES, THEN PLAYBACK IS IMPOSSIBLE.
• YOU CAN CHANGE THE REGION CODE ON THE DVD PLAYER USING THE PROPERTIES MENU OF THE DVD SOFTWARE. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE THE REGION CODE UP TO FOUR TIMES. AFTER THE 4TH CHANGE, THE LAST CODE ENTERED BECOMES PERMANENT, AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.

Problems with mavericks dvd player

Has anyone noticed that dvd scripting is poorly implemented in Mavericks?
I have a dvd with a nested script to randomly select from among 48 tracks on a dvd.
Since that exceeds script length limitations, I had to break the script down into 3 parts:
1. A master script which decides whether to choose script 1 (items 1-24) or Script 2 (items 25-48)
2. Script 1 which chooses from among tracks 1-24
3. Script 2 which chooses from among tracks 25-48.
Each track has the jump to set to the master script.
This used to run fine under 10.8.6 and it runs find on a normal dvd player.
Problem is: it doesn't run under Mavericks. The Mavericks dvd player simply ignores the master script after the first iteration and once it selects script one or script 2 it only will play back tracks from whichever script it selected the first time.
This is a huge defect.
I've tried adding a line to my code at the beginning of each script to reset the variable controlled by the master script to 0 (I use 1 or 2 to decide which script to choose). It seems to be ignoring the jump command of the tracks to return to the master script and will only return to the script which controls its playback.
Any hope Apple that you will fix this?
Keith

Too bad I have to reply to myself in order to correct something:
It seems the compiled DVD doesn't run under 10.8.6 either, but it runs FINE on a real dvd, runs fine in simulate mode in DVD Studio Pro. But for some reason even though DVDs are restricted to 124 lines of code, DVD studio Pro refuses to compile my script when I make it a mere 50 lines long. Anyone have a solution for that? I really need this to run from a harddrive so I can automate the playback. I'm trying anything I can to rewrite the script to conform to the limitations of the Apple DVD player though those are not stated clearly anywhere I can find. Does anyone know those limitations?

Need help getting ipod/phone videos onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player

I have so many videos on my old ipod and my two iphones. I need to get them onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player because they are all the videos I have of my kids when they were babies(bad I know!) So I bought iLife and have iDVD and a macbook pro laptop. Would anyone be willing to write step by step what i need to do to get them onto a DVD as I am very new to all the technology these days. Thank you so much in advance

First you need to get them onto your Mac. Use image capture and download them to a folder on the Desktop. Next, you need a video DVD authoring program. IMO iDVD is the best.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the download movie files into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. Some themes will only allow 6 items per menu, including sub menus, others up to 10 I believe. Sub menus can always be added to add more movies to the project. This is an example of a project with multiple slideshows/movies and menus:
IMPORTANT: iDVD is not concerned with the size of the media files in regards to what the iDVD disk can hold. All that's important is the total playing time of all of the movie files including the menus. A single layer DVD disc can hold up to 120 minutes of playing time. A double layered disk 240 minutes. IMO it's best to go with multiple single layered disks.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Clear DVD player memory?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to clear out the dvd player memory (where it stores what place you were at in each dvd)? At some point there was a post about this but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe it was too long ago. I did it once but can't remember how...it seemed to clear a ton of memory up. Thanks!!

Could you please tell me where the Apple dvd player preference files are located in Mountain Lion?
I do remember deleting the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist from the the Library/preferences folder in earlier versions of OS X, but I can't find that file in 10.8.5

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?

Encore DVD Writing Cancels won't play on DVD player issue

So I have a very confusing issue with encore.
When I press build everything works fine. Then writing begins. The moment the writing reaches the end of the progress bar (the exact moment) the progress bar goes to empty and the bottom bar says canceling and ejects the DVD. Usually (not every time) a pop up menu saying "end of file" appears next. When I press ok for end of file message the pop up disappears and suddenly the DVD progress bar is filled and the DVD says completed (as if nothing just happened). So I'm confused whether it worked or not!
I reinsert the DVD that just ejected into my Mac and it works! Then I put it into a DVD player and it won't play, it won't play on my old Xbox 360 either, but it WILL play in a Bluray player?!
Everytime I rewrite the files I get different results. They all work on my Mac and blu ray but only 1 of 4 works in the Xbox. The one that does work in the Xbox will read in the DVD player but plays choppy and skips around as if the DVD is scratched or damaged?
! Other differences involve the write speed, sometimes the options are 8x or 4x. Other times its 3x,2x, and 1x. When the latter write speed options occur I cannot press "test before writing" it's greyed out. When 8x and 4x are the speed options I can check it. I used different DVDs and it didn't help.
I work for a company that needs to copy the DVDs but they can't be copied. Don't know why?
Here are my settings
Mpeg 2-DVD exported from Pr.

I really need help with this weird issue quickly thanks.

Just an Update, I've tried many things to no avail still have a few others to try. Being a Large file it takes a while to try things.
I went ahead and got Toast, but considering that the Image Iso and the DVD Folder both gave me the End of File Error and the Disc "Failed Completed" Error I figured it a no go and it was. It did however give me something that Opened everywhere (Mac,Xbox,Dvd) , but it did not play on the Dvd correctly.
I've done numerous things in the Mac permissions end Like trying as a different user and running as the Root User, but it was also unsuccessful.
I've Re- Exported the file many different ways, but finally had a breakthrough using a version of M2v. It's definitely an error with Finalizing. My disc previously began to mess up and give "END of File" after it finished writing, it never even made it to the "Writing Lead Out" stage. I beleive this is why it plays it certain places fine, but probably not as well in systems (like Dvd players) that require those last few steps like writing Lead Out.
The only issue I have now is that when I put it into the DVD player it say "No title"!?!? AY CARAMBA!!!
Now I'm working on trying to figure this NEW problem! I have all my menus and links in place, but no go. I think it may be related to the previous problem in that something beneath the surface is wrong with my computer. Being a used Mac with a restored Hard Drive there are probably endless possibilities, but I hesitate to think that way because it may also have absolutely nothing to do with it.
So any help is greatly appreciated
whether it be a specific issue you know of dealing with used Macs and issue similar to mine
or just on the "NO Title" error as a separate issue. I'm hoping this "No Title" is something simple and unrelated, I've already burned through about 13 discs and even more pain pills for the headaches!!
