"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
I have a file exported from final cut v. 7, using quick time movie option, it created a file with .mov. When I import to dvd studio pro, I have an error
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.

Save with Maximize Compatibility in CS6.
Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
From the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility menu, choose any of the following:
Always
Then re-save your file so it can open in CS2

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Importing subtitles into DVD Studio Pro 4 that were created FCP Studio 6

Greetings!
So in all the DVD Studio Pro 4 documentation, I couldn't find any work flow that allowed you to create subtitles, via *Text or Boris 3D Titles* in Final Cut Pro Studio 6 and then export or import your work into DVD Studio Pro to be used in the subtitle fields... Is that possible?
After painstakingly entering in subtitles for a feature film line-by-line, timing them perfectly to picture and making them look beautiful with crisp-text & a slight drop-shadow... It would be wonderful to import those files (as graphics files? DVD Studio Pro can import those...) in our DVD for release, with optional subtitles-- Instead of making/encoding 2 versions; with & without subtitles.
What is the best way to export these files, created for the film subtitling in *Text or Boris 3D Titles* so that we can import them into DVD Studio Pro 4 subtitle tracks... Could they be exported with an Alpha Channel so that the background is transparent? And will this then be excepted into DVD Studio Pro 4 to be placed in the subtitle fields?
Please help us conquer this seemingly-necessary procedure... I would really hate to think that to achieve this task we'd have to re-enter, re-design & re-time ALL subtitles to make our DVD... All of your suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

OK-- I love that I've found a way to answer my own question on this forum (but actually I must credit my buddy James for finding out about 'TitleExchange Pro') It looks pretty cool and should do exactly what I've asked about: Exporting/ Importing subtitles made in FCP to DVD SP...
TitleExchange Pro is a unique tool which makes complicated things simple.
If you ever wished to get your titles out of FCP into DVDSP (or another DVD authoring application), get titles into FCP from another source like DVDSP or STL, or ceate a QT with all your FCP subtitles without the need of rendering (and get automatic selection of language) or just "equalize" your FCP titles TEP will be the right tool.
There's a slight catch but it might be worth it, if this works as well as it states...Cost 135 EUR:) You can download a limited demo version that works for 30 days & 50 titles...If anyone wants to give their feedback on this software, please post it here-- We'd all be interested.
Download & more information about this process at: http://www.spherico.de/filmtools/TitleExchange/
Also, check out this video tutorial on the product... It explains exactly how to do the task-at-hand... http://www.studiodaily.com/main/minisites/finalcutpro/f/mtutorials/6851.html
Hope this finds you all well--

Text Mask Created in Motion Turns Grey When Imported Into Apple DVD Studio

I have some type that is a mask for a flame video that allows the flame to only be seen through the shapes of the letters. This is a black background with the type "punched out" to all the flames to be seen. When import this into Adobe DVD Studio Pro the black background of the masked type turns into a grey. What can I do to get the black appearance I need? Thanks!

Lets say the following is your square (just four words Top, Right, Bottom, Left)
The words Top, Right, Bottom, Left can all be on one Photoshop B&W pict file that is used as an overlay, all the words in black over a whit background for instance. Note however, that buttons (when you drag the button area) are limited in how they can be made so it may take a little bit of tinkering to get the button area to be over the particular section of the overlay properly and some designs may not work.
You can try other methods, succh as buttons over video, but the above is probably the easiest and most reliable way subject to design considerations

DVD Studio Pro: Compiler File Error

Hi there,
I'm running DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8, and until now, I've been successfully burning DVD projects. But suddenly, when I try to burn a DVD, I keep getting a message stating that the "build failed" due to a "compiler file error." Any clue how to solve this? My sound file is a .ac3, and my video is a .m2v.
Thanks!

It could be a number of things. Generally, you should try renaming your m2v and then re-importing it and setting it into the track it is in. Also, try trashing the PAR files (check your preferences for the location of these) which get created when you import an asset.
Finally, try simply re-encoding the footage and going from there (add a new name for it too...)

Help ! ever seen this in DVD Studio Pro : 'Compiler File Error' ?

Help !
This is a strange problem :
Evertime I try to burn a disc, it says :
Starting DVD Build DVD_
Compiler File Error
Build cancelled
Formatting finished.
Building was not successful. See log.
Now I tried several different projects and it does it on multiple computers.
Only explenation would be something I did in my DVD menu, or assets.
If I burn it on my powerbook though, it works perfectly....
Harry Potter was busy, so please help me, I'm getting desperate...
Have the latest update, the latest OS, en DVD Studio Pro 4.2

Welcome to the boards.
Take a look at the log as it is compiling and see where the compile stops/crashes. Also download MPEG streamclip and open up the last VOB in the build folder in MPEG Streamclip. (VOB ares here, you will have different VOBs of course and numbers but look at the last one that has something in it) http://dvdstepbystep.com/vts.php It will show you the last part was compiled properly so you can look at the asset in the DVD SP project.
Some things to look for
1.) Gaps in the timeline in the audio or video. In fact I just had this happen. The project compiled fine in an older version of DVD SP (4.03) BUT would crash out at 4.2. Turns out there was a gap I had missed (doh!) somehow and cleaning it up would then cure then problem.
2.) Did you make the audio AC3? What rates were the video encode? High rates can cause the compile errors.

DVD Studio pro " Complier File Error"

MY DVD studio pro is no longer working, I get " Complier File Error " when I try to burn a disc. Will this have anything to do with using Mountion lion on my computor? The DVD studio pro works on my new pro mac. So what is wrong.
I did reload FCP 7 again and it uploads but will not work.
Paul

It will help if you cansupply more details. Are you encoding in Compressor? If so,what are the presets? Please post a screenshot.
Thanks.

Can AVCHD files be not copied when imported?

When I import AVCHD files they are copied even though in the preferences I have selected "Leave files in place" and I leave that option checked in the import dialog. Is there any way to prevent AVCHD files from being copied?
Other types of files are not copied when I import them.

My exact specifications and work process:
I use two separate video cameras. One is a Panasonic HDC-TM900K; the other is a Panasonic HDC-TM700K. I record in AVCHD onto SanDisk 32 GB SD cards.
When filming is complete, I copy the entire contents of each separate SD card into its own folder, labelled according to camera and capture date.
In the past, this has allowed me to import into FCP 10.0.x and work directly with the AVCHD files without having to transcode or copy them. I have used this exact process dozens of times since the release of FCP 10.0.x.
Just this most recent time, after upgrading to FCP 10.1, while importing the same AVCHD files from the same SD cards and the same video cameras, the option to "leave files in place" was disabled.
I do understand that FCP 10.1 uses "Libraries" to organize media, and that this is a major change in how it organizes media files. I figured that this change was responsible for the difference in behavior.
I was hoping there was a way to continue to work with AVCHD card folders without having to copy or transcode.

Remove Child and Event.SOUND_COMPLETE not working inside movie clip. What's the problem?

I have a movie clip that is called to the stage. The user then clicks a button and music plays. As the music starts, another movie clip is called, a simulation of an equilizer. There are several things that should happen:
1) When the user closes the movie clip the music is supposed to stop playing and the equilizer movie clip is removed. What actually happens is the music stops playing but the equilzer movie clip is not removed.
2) When the music is finished playing the equilzer is supposed to be removed from the stage and the play button is reactivated. But none of that happens. When I click on the movie clip a second time equilizer is still there and the play button is not reactivated.
Here's the code that calls the movie clip to the stage.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtons);
function goButtons(event:MouseEvent):void
    if (event.target == Song_bnt)
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        addChild(myPlaySong);
        myPlaySong.x = 304;
        myPlaySong.y = 105;
        //event.stopImmediatePropagation();
Here's the code in the movie clip:
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
var equilizer:Equilizer;
equilizer = new Equilizer();
playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
//Plays music, inactivates buttons, and adds the equilizer to the stage.
PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
function songPageButton(event:Event):void
    playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
    PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
    ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
    addChild(equilizer);
    equilizer.x = 269;
    equilizer.y = 246;
//Removes the equilizer from the stage when the music is complete.
PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
    function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
    PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
    ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
    removeChild(equilizer);
//Removes the equilizer and event listeners from stage and calls dispatch event to close the movie clip.
closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, CloseSong);
function CloseSong(event:MouseEvent):void
    removeChild(equilizer);
    dispatchEvent(new Event("RemoveMSong"));
    PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
    PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
//Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
myPlaySong.addEventListener("RemoveMSong", RemoveSongClip);
function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
    SoundMixer.stopAll();
    removeChild(myPlaySong);
Any thoughts?

I figured out the problem. Here's how I reorganized the code (all in one frame).
//Code for Ray Jay song.
var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
//Plays the song.
myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
function songPageButton(event:Event):void
    playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
    playRayJaySongChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = true;
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
    myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
//Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
myPlaySong.closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RemoveSongClip);
function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
    SoundMixer.stopAll();
    removeChild(myPlaySong);
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
    myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
    playRayJaySongChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
//Resets all of the movieclips to their orginal state.
function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
    myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
Thanks all for your suggests and input.

"File path not found" when opening an Encore DVD project made 2 years ago

Configuration:
XP SP3, Encore DVD CS3 coming from Creative Suite.
2Gb RAM, fast-enough-CPU, large-enough-harddisk (~70Gb space).
The project, as I remember, should has been made with Encore DVD 2.0 2 years ago.
The project file is placed on the C:\ with no invalid characters on the path or filename.
The message prompts when I try to open the project file and after some loading(1 sec).
I have been searching on the Internet for these problems on other people but there are no satisfactory solutions yet. Does anyone have the same issue?
Thanks!

ummm - I think this must be something like:

DVD Studio Pro changes file sizes on import

I am trying to burn an SD DVD of a 1.62 Gb Quicktime video, but every time I import it the file size changes to 611 mb. and the resulting disc has very poor resolution In the "Assets" list it indicates the file size is 1.62 Gb., but if I click on it and open Inspector the same file is listed as 611 mb., as does the Disc Meter after I move it to the timeline. Encoding preferences are set to 2-pass VBR, Target rate 6.5, Max rate 7.7 Mbps. On deadline, please help.

Take your movie into compressor and use the DVD presets to make an .m2v and an .ac3. Bring these files into DVDSP to create your DVD with.
