File import to DVD Studio Pro-incompatible format

hallo,
i made from an final cut studio project with DVCPRO HD 720 50p material via compressor an new compressed file with ".mov" suffix.
the attitude in compressor was:
H.264 10,3 Mbits/s for HD DVD
the film is about 20 minutes
also after repeated tries it dosn't work.
i get the announcement:
"incompatible format" when i try the import
what to do?
thank you for answering

Are you trying to make an SD DVD or an HD DVD (which only play on Macs, and the now obsolete HD DVD players)?
If you are trying to make an SD DVD, then you are using the wrong format. Export out of FCP using the DVCPRO codec. Bring that into Compressor and make a MPEG-2 for your video and a AC3 for your audio. Bring those files into DVD SP.

  • Exporting 16:9 file to quicktime and importing to dvd studio pro

    Please help I am using final cut 7. I just exported a Dvd anamorphic movie file to quicktime file. The completed file is a 4:3 where the anamorphic image is squeezed. When I import into dvd studio pro to burn a dvd it stays as a 4:3 file and is then being encoded as 4:3.
    When I exported the file  from final cut i used current settings ( as in my final cut audio video settings it is DV anamorphic)
    How do I export retaining the 16:9 ratio?

    In DVDSP, in the graphical view, click on the track to select it, and look at the the track inspector (menu View > Show Inspector). Make sure the track Display Mode is set to 16:9 Letterbox. This will play the track full screen 16:9 if played on a 16:9 TV, and will automatically letterbox it if played on a 4:3 TV.

  • What kind of Macromedia Flash Files Can I Import into DVD Studio Pro 4 ?

    Hello there,

    So I tryed to import a swf file into my project and I'm getting an incompatible file error message.

    I am having the same issue. I am new to compressor and DVD studio so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
    I just compressed a 20 minute video in the 90 minute best SD compressor format. The file name end with .compressor. When I try drag the file from the finder into the assets window of compressor, I get a dialog box that says: incompatible format. How annoying!

  • Compressor 4.1: exporting files to import into DVD Studio Pro

    Hey folks,
    Having issues trying to figure out how to generate both the .m2v  and the .ac3 files to import into my "legacy" application of DVD Studio Pro. I have separate projects all done...clients waiting... and ready to export from FCPX.
    It seems that the only function that this new Compressor can do, is to build the files and then automatically build and burn a DVD. I need to create my own menus and chapters. I  USED to be able to do this in my older version of Compressor easily.
    Am I stuck? I did not know that this version would act in this manner in the "upgrade". If I could...I'd rather have my older version back!

    Select the job. In the Inspector choose When Finished, Do Nothing.
    You will get the two elementary files saved to whatever location you specify. You can import those files into DVDSP.

  • AAC audio file increase in size when imported into DVD Studio Pro

    Hello all!
    I just encountered a very unique issue with the DVD Studio Pro. I used the compressor to export my video as an MPEG2 file and my audio as AAC file. After the compression my audio file had an .mpg4 extention and was about 160MB in size. When I imported it into my DVD Studio Pro project, however, the audio increased in size to 1.2 GB. I tried so many different compressions, but the problem really is (I think) that the file bumps up in size once imported into DVD SP project. Is there anything in preferences that I need to adjust or change? Please help!
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I'm a little lost now with versions history, but if you have A.Pack in your App folder, then must use it. Check this tutorial: Encoding AC3 with A.Pack.
    Compressor 2 and 3 has AC3 encoding inside the main application.

  • Aperture stills importing to DVD Studio Pro

    apart from loading all my aperture library into iPhoto (and that generates loads of extra files on the drive), is there a way to import stills from Aperture into DVD Studio Pro? There seems to be an iphoto or a file browser input but nothing from Aperture. Any ideas folks?

    Have you tried dragging the folder of stills from the finder into the DVDSP assets tab?

  • Are Compressor files compatible with DVD Studio Pro?

    I am buying Final Cut Pro X and Compressor, but I am working on a school project that needs to be finished in DVD Studio Pro. Would the compressed files be compatible with DVD Studio Pro even though FCP7 and FCPX are not compatible?

    Yes.  Compressor 4 (or any version) will create the DVD-compliant files that are used in DVDSP.

  • Dvd Studio Pro on formats and wont burn.

    I created a menu on dvd studio pro and when I try to burn it, it only goes through the process of Formatting and it finishes. I cant play it on any dvd player, I'm pretty sure thats because its only formatted and not burnt. I cant seem to get it to burn. Any suggestions?

    Wikileak:
    It works even though it doesn't work.
    While the display of colors in the pop-up menu is broken under Mac OS X 10.9, the palette is still there and works for setting colors.  Choosing the first blank spot in the Color pop-up menu sets that first color in the palette, choosing the second blank spot on the Color pop-up menu sets the second color in the in the palette, etc.  Of course, this was sooooo much easier when the Color pop-up menu displayed color swatches as expected.
    If you click the "Edit Palette" button at the bottom, the colors in the Edit Palette dialog box from left to right correspond to the Color pop-up menu from top to bottom.  So, the color in row one, column one of the Edit Palette dialog will be the first blank in the Color pop-up list.  The color in the row one, column two will be the second color in the pop-up list and so forth.
    I set the colors for a title in the Edit Palette and take a screen shot, then reference that while using the Color pop-up menu.
    If your machine will boot 10.7.5, an alternative is to create a startup volume just for setting the colors and switch to 10.9.5 for finishing the disc.

  • Exporting / Importing into DVD Studio Pro from Final Cut Pro

    Hi All,
    I am am exporting footage from FCP HD and importing it into DVDSP, the final DVD will be set to 16:9. So what do I export my files from FCP as? Someone told me that I don't export it at 16:9, I export it so it's squashed and then DVD SP does it's thing to it...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    When I do this I work in FCP using a 16:9 format setting then export using Compressor. In Compressor I choose a best quality option and make sure the 16:9 setting is enabled in the settign dialog box (in the Batch window next to Source Media - just double click on setting).
    In DVDSP you simply ensure the project is in PAL or NTSC and 16:9 format.
    This takes care of the whole thing with the finished article paying back fine on 16:9 monitors.
    Best of luck

    what does this mean?
    You have a disc inside your optical drive.
    Not sure what they mean by volume still in use, this apparentely is keeping me from burning info such a pictures and or video's,
    how can I fix this?
    Remove the extra disc.
    My answers are basic because:
    You never told us which model iMac you have?
    How you are burning?  Through iMac?  External burner?
    Which OS you are currently using?

  • How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

    Hi,
    I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

    Two ways…
    Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
    Or better yet:
    Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
    Good luck.

  • "file is not compatible when import assets in dvd studio pro, my file are .mov and .mp4, what is the problem?

    i have a MacBook Pro v. 10.7.5, also have dvd studio pro 4.2.2

    message " file is not compatible". shall I export again using different parm? settings? thanks for the help in advance.

    Thanks, Russ. I had my problem resolved by re-creating file from Final Cut using the "Video Format" as "MPEG-4 improved" instead of "H.264" before. 
    My orginial source is a dvd came from Taiwan, I used software 'Handbrake' to convert it to MPEG-4. Input to Final Cut to edit it. Exported out with H.264 as Video Format, wishing to improve the image quality but run into 'file impaitable' when import to DVD SP.
    Now. I exported out Final Cut using the following parms, pictures quality is not bad.
    1. File format = MP4
    2. Image size= 1280x720 HD
    3. frame rate = 30
    4. video format = MPEG-4 Improved
    hope this help people who might run into same problem. I never use the Compressor, will try it next time. thanks Russ.

  • Converting Unix Executable Files for use in DVD Studio Pro

    I have several projects that were created in iDVD 2 back in 2002. In Finder, the file kind is listed as Unix Executable Files. If I add the extension .dvdproj using Get Info and try to open them in DVD Studio Pro, I get the error Wrong File Format and it will not open the project.
    The machine I am currently using does not have iDVD on it.
    Does anyone have a recommendation on a way to make these files usable for DVD Studio Pro? I understand if it is not possible.

    You can import iDVD project into DVD Studio Pro, however I think it won't work with projects from iDVD 5. I'm not sure about iDVD 2. Also these files have no extension and are listed as Unix Executable Files.
