FCP3 to DVD (works on computer but not dvd player)

Hi all
I'm trying to export a wedding video from FCP3 to DVD using Toast 7. I can Burn a copy that works perfectly on any computer but skips horribly on DVD player, does anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks for your help
Brian

Toast is not the best vehicle to encode DVD material. You might do better with iDVD and you would definitely do better with DVD Studio Pro.

    Yes, the lowest possible Burn speed will be a step in the direction of compatibility.
    As for the Quality setting, Robert Johnson has done tests on various versions of PE and has recommend a setting of about 7.8 (IIRC). Unlike Encore, where one has many more choices, PE limits one to a Quality setting of 8. This is about equivilent to the recommend 7MB/s in Encore. Robert found that just below the 8 max. actually yielded slightly better results, than did the full 8, on his tests.
    The three things that help to insure the greatest compatibility with set-top players are, and in pretty much this order:
    1.) Quality media - Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Falcon (US only)
    2.) Burn speed (slower is better. It might take a few minutes more, but if it works, you don't have returns or have to do it again.)
    3.) Bit-rate around 7MB/sec
    Remember - no set-top player HAS to play any Burned DVD. Most do, but some just do not - only replicated, pressed discs. Also, some player are still sensitive to the -R and +R media types. This is less a problem with newer units, however it still could be an issue with many older ones.
    Personally, I test a "master" on four different players, plus my computer, before I Burn a batch, or ship out any. One unit is a very high-end Marantz, another is a mid-level Marantz, one is an RCA "el cheapo" and the other is an older Pioneer. I figure if the disc plays everywhere, there is a good chance that it will play for the client - though there are still no guarantees.
    Good luck,

  • Lightbox works on computer but not on web...

    Help!
    I have used Lightbox2 and other lightboxes before, so I am a little used to how they work.
    I wanted to not clutter my site any more than necessary, and so I left the Lightbox files in the original Lightbox2 folder; my files are outside the folder.
    I corrected the links to the javascript and css files on my page.
    The page previews correctly on my computer; but, when uploaded to the web, Lightbox2 does not work.
    Why would Lightbox work correctly on my computer, but not on the web? Here is a link to one of the pages in question:
    http://www.oldmanmountain.com/Pages/RackPages/RearRacks.html
    Another question...Lightbox says we should check the links in the lightbox.js file to make sure the loading and close box links are correct. How do I point to these files? From the javascript file? or from the page file? I have tried everything and cannot get the close box to show on my computer (let alone on the web, where Lightbox doesn't seem to work at all).
    Another reason for wanting the Lightbox files in their own folder is that I used to put the Lightbox files relative to the page that Lightbox was used on so I wouldn't have to change the links. I would rather have just one Lightbox folder for the entire site, and I would prefer to have it in its own folder. I posted this question on StackOverflow, but no one answered.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    in my IE8 your lightbox works (after a while of waiting) like this:
    I only miss the both buttons: "closelabel.gif" and "loading.gif".

  • ASAP!!  Flash Player Works on Computer But Not Live.  (Could Be Easy)

    I need to present this site in a couple of hours and ran into this problem.
    I just added a Flash button that works perfectly on every single page except my gallery.php.  All the other pages are .html.  On my computer I can see the button perfectly, but when I uploaded and viewed the file it tells me to update my player.  Why would it not work live and does it have anything to do with it being a .php file?  Here's a link that works, The "Primerica" button on the top right is the focal point.
    Works:
    http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/inner_circle.html
    Doesn't Work
    http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/gallery.php
    It looks more presentable in IE7 than FF but I need to remedy this ASAP!!!

    With an intermittent problem, whether a solution really works
    needs to be tested extensively. Someone else reported being able to
    play Flash in FF with Flash 9 installed, IF they also had Flash 8
    installed. But in that case and in yours, was there sufficient
    testing before the solution was reported? Check out this page with
    FF (it's a page that tends to generate the problem with a high
    frequency, but not always):
    http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/52#jill
    If repeated testing on that page doesn't crash your ability
    to play Flash, then your solution may really work. What version of
    Flash does Adobe say you have when you visit this page?:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
    The other problem with IE is probably unrelated to this. Did
    you reinstall Flash for IE? For IE, you have to run the exe program
    with winax.exe in the name.

  • TC connected and working on computer but not connecting to phones, says(internet connection)no valid IP Address in status..

    My TC is connected to my modem, the internet works fine on the computer, yet my airtunes is still flashing as well as my TC. In status it says internet connection is the problem and there is not a valid IP address. Any help?

    Details, please.  By "my airtunes" do you mean an AirPort Express base station?  By "the internet works fine on the computer", do you mean when the Time Capsule is connected to the modem, or when the computer is connected to the modem?
    If things work when the computer is connected to the modem but not when the Time Capsule is connected to the modem, you may need to reset your broadband modem to convince it to connect to a "new" device.  Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments.  If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes.  Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one.  In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router.
    If you have an AirPort Express with a flashing status light, connect your Mac to the Express with an Ethernet cable and use AirPort Utility to see why it's complaining.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • Time capsule wireless works with computer but not  other devices.

    Wireless internet from the time capsule works with the laptop, but not with any other devices or computers. They pick up the wireless signal, but can't connect. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the response. I appreciate any help you can give. The internet modem is from Insight Cable and is an Arris TM602G.
    Wireless Mode = create a wireless network
    Radio Mode = automatic

  • Burned dvd plays on computers, but not dvd players - help?

    Hi,
    I'm a noobie. I made a movie in final cut pro 5, then converted it to a quicktime movie, then saved it in idvd. The movie plays on all computers, but it's not recognized by dvd players connected to tv's. My questions are:
    1. What's a quick way to burn onto a dvd that will be recognized by dvd players that aren't on computers?
    2. What's the best way to save the best quality of my final cut movie to a dvd that I can play anywhere?
    thanks!

    Hi Noob:
    Welcome to discussions!
    There is no sure-fired way to record to a DVD that every DVD player will recognize. Just too many of them out there.
    Try burning a the lowest speed possible (1x to 4x )using a reliable disk like Verbatim DVD-R.
    This is worth reading: (I copied it from one of Len Goff's discussion threads...)
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Video files work on computer but not on published site

    I am definitely missing something here.
    I redesigned my website with iWeb and I am very pleased with the results. (The original site was done with Dreamweaver but then I migrated to Mac.)
    I published it to my computer to check everything and then put it up on my server with a ftp program (filezilla. works for me). The page shows great on internet.
    I now want to add a page with a newly created video. I drag the video clip on to the movie page I created. It is an avi file. On my computer it all works fine but when I publish it (to my computer to be sure it is OK), the video clip does not show up on the new page. I have tried with Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Same story on all.
    I am afraid to upload it to the internet before I sort this out.
    So my two questions would be:
    1. What am I doing wrong?
    2. What file formats does iWeb support?
    thanks for any help.

    The Miro Video Convertor is useful for format conversion if you want to provide as many as possible to encourage html5 playback in most browsers.
    If you don't want to be bothered with all this, fallback players will use an MP4 (or MOV) in most situations and fallback to flash for browsers like IE. Examples are JW Longtail, FlowPlayer and VideoJS.
    This method uses the QuickTime plugin. The problem is that, in a lot of cases, browsers will ask permission to run the plugin and visitors shouldn't be made to jump through hoops to get the movie to play.
    Its worth the extra effort to make sure that as many of your website visitors as possible can just click and play.
    A lot of people resort to Vimeo and YouTube but the problem with them is that visitors are tempted to leave your site at the end of the movie. Vimeo is better than YouTube in this respect and also has more customizing options.

  • Blank dvds work in gnome but not xfce [solved]

    Hi.
    I have installed Arch with xfce4 and xfce4-goodies. When I put in a dvd with data on, an icon appears on the desktop and thunar starts up automatically. When I put in a blank dvd to burn it nothing happens, so I've tried to mount it with "mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/dvd" but I get the following message:
    mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
    The result is I can't burn dvds. When I put back a working dvd (one with data on), using "mount" gives this line:
    /dev/sr0 on /media/dvd type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,unhide,user=david)
    I tried different cds and dvds but same thing every time so I installed gnome, put a blank dvd in and everything worked fine.  Back in xfce there's the same problem. I have tried different mounting commands such as using /dev/dvd, /dev/dvd0 and /dev/dvd1 but I get the same message. I've not been able to find a solution so if anyone has any suggestions/pointers I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.
    In case it useful here is my /etc/fstab file:
    # <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>

    Hello DaveI,
    You can't mount blank media.  Mount makes a file system accessible, but since blank media has none, the mount operation fails.  XFCE might complain about the failed mount, but you should still be able to burn the DVD afterward.  I guess Gnome just fails silently?  I dunno, I don't use it.
    Anyway, just burn your dvd without trying to mount it first.  Also, when trying to mount a DVD, you should specify udf as the file system, iso9660 is for CDs.
    Ciao.

  • Auto Duplex works on computer, but not in Remote Desktop

    Hi Everyone,
    We recently moved to a Server 2008 R2 print server. Many of our users use Remote Desktop to run applications on servers, one of which is a 32-bit Server 2003 box. We have a LaserJet 4350 with an automatic duplexer. The duplexing works correctly on client
    machines running 32-bit XP, but as soon as these users try to print a document in an RD session to the same 4350 (redirected though), the auto duplexing will not work. 
    I loaded the same 32bit driver on the Server 2003 box as is on the Server 2008 R2 print server, and thus the XP client machines. Any ideas why this would not work? It seems like it would be a driver issue, but I'm not sure why the redirected printer would
    be using a different driver than the one installed on the client machine. 
    Thanks!

    Hi Amman,
    Unfortunately Easy Print is not currently an option for us to use as the server the users are connecting to through RD is a 2003 server. 
    Here is another, hopefully better, explanation of the issue at hand: we have a print server running on a 2008 R2. One of the printers connected to that server is a LaserJet 4350 with an auto duplexer. The driver being used is the in-box Windows 7/Server
    2008 driver. The client in question uses an XP Pro SP3 machine, and uses the 32-bit driver. The client connects with RD (with the option to redirect printers enabled) to a 2003 server. 
    If the user prints a document and selects the option to duplex from their XP client machine, the document prints and is automatically duplexed as it should be. If the user is on the Server 2003 server and prints a document to the *redirected* printer with
    the option to duplex, the auto duplexer does not work and the document must be manually duplexed. The driver installed on the Server 2003 server is the very same 32-bit driver installed on the XP client machine. 
    Hope that clears it up!
    Thanks,
    -MRCUR

  • My CD/DVD drive reads CDs but not DVDs

    Hi All
    I have a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633M DVD drive in my laptop and after about 6 months of use, the drive stopped reading/writing DVDs. It still reads CDs fine and occasionally will read a DVD (completely unprovoked and without warning...!) but is very temperamental and will randomly just stop reading a DVD. Often, the drive will eject and give an error message telling me to insert a disc. I'm not sure what to do.
    I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit. I have tried running the Microsoft Fixit application, which recognises that the drive is failing to read DVDs but offers nothing more helpful than that and doesn't fix anything (despite its name...). I have been reading through a number of different forums and have found a range of advice: replacing the drive, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers or editing the registry. What should I be doing to fix this problem? Naturally, I'd prefer not to have to replace the drive itself, but if that's the only way...
    Thanks in advance!
    Mangi
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The registry thing only works if the drive is completely AWOL from the system so that it does not appear as a drive in "My Computer"....not your issue. The DVD and the CD use different lasers and it is not uncommon for one to go bad and the other not. You can check the function of the DVD by trying to boot from a bootable DVD. If you cannot the drive is bad and needs to be replaced. If it works sometimes and not others it could just need a good cleaning with a DVD lens cleaner.

  • DVD drive reads CDs but not DVDs

    My DVD drive, CDDVDW TS-L633R, will read CDs, both music and data e.g. Epsom installation disc, but it will not read DVDs, videos or data e.g. MS Office installation disc.  I ran the CD/ DVD diagnosis software - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/?wa=wsignin1.0 and the final message said that the disc (DVD) was not readable.

  • BitmapData works in IDE, but not flash player

    I actually have 2 BitmapData objects that are drawing 2
    different movieclips, only one works in the browser, both work when
    testing in flash. Any ideas?
    Flash Pro 8.0
    Flash Player 9.47

    I inserted your code, these are the effects
    http://www.kingcommedia.com/newSite/projects.cfm
    roll over one of the balls, and in the middle will pop up a

    That's the broken reflection, but notice the balls have
    reflections.
    Things got weirder, though- this is embedded using the
    dreamweaver ActiveContent script, so I published the html and
    tested that. The image's reflection worked in the html version BUT
    only on my machine, when I uploaded it here:
    http://www.kingcommedia.com/newSite/flash/orbitTest.html
    the reflection stopped working.

    I've been testing until now on my local machine which is

    to sum up:
    reflection doesnt work in
    dreamweaver generated code on cfm page on local SERVER and
    remote servers
    flash generated code on html page on remote ONLY
    reflection does work in
    flash generated code in html when called from windows, NOT

  • Burned dvd plays on Mac but not on player

    my burned dvd plays on my Mac with no problems but on my dvd player, it just stops after 3 few seconds. any ideas what happened there?
    i used iDvd 4

    Welcome to the Forum.
    The most likely reason for consumer DVD players to skip or stop on DVDs that play well in computer DVD drives, are excessive burn errors that the consumer players 'choke on'. All burned media (CD and DVD) has burn errors. Burning at lower speeds tends to reduce the error level, hence the recommendation to burn low-speed media for maximum player compatability. Computer DVD drives have a high level of error correction (after all - you wouldn't want to loose any data on a data DVD) and can handle the errors. Consumer DVD players don't - after all they are designed to playback pressed DVDs with low error rates.
    Some consumer DVD players are more sensitive to these errors than others.
    Sometimes using a different brand of media will help.
