Finalizing discs

Ok, I burned an audio book using 5 discs. Now they won't play on my cd player. I used cd-r with 80 min capacity. From what I understand, you have to finalize the cd before they will play back. I cannot figure out how to do this. HELP!!!!!

If you burned that audio book to audioCDs through iTunes there is nothing to finalize - just use them on an audioCD player.

VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder files not included in final disc

I'm trying to burn an HD DVD project and after the compile completes successfully I get a string of error messages in the Log telling me that the .BUP, .IFO, .EVO, .LAY files found in VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc. When I try to play the finished disc in a regular set-top DVD player it doesn't play. (It will play in an Apple Computer)
I can't figure out how to fix this.

I don't know why you are getting those errors. Maybe someone else will come along and help with that.
You are still using a media that has a very small range of options to play. I would start a new SD DVDSP project and take things from there.

VIDEO_TS not included in final disc

I have already Built the project. When I hit "format" to burn the DVD, in the Log, it states that :
Warning: The file ‘MENU.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
The final disc that is burned, plays on my dvd player. BUT, if i want to duplicate it, it does not work. Any ideas?

Hey freshprod
welcome to the apple DVDSP forums
ok, this particular message comes up because you are burning either a .img or a VIDEO/AUDIO_TS disc (a regular playing disc). the error only affect those 2 files IN the Video_TS, not the .VOB, .IFO, or the .BUP files (which are needed to playback on DVD players.
so basically, dont worry about those errors.
as for the duplication problem. how are you trying to duplicate them?

Warnings of files not being included in final disc

I've had a terrible time trying to learn to burn a movie DVD for my kids to play on their TVs/DVDs and was hoping someone here recognizes what I've done wrong. I've created a sequence in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 (part of FCP Studio 2), used compressor to create the files ending in .ac3 and .m2v (and it also created one ending in .aiff). I imported these into DVD Studio Pro 4 and created a menu with 4 chapters (marked in the timeline). Not sure from the manual if I linked them right or not, but seems that I did. Then when I clicked build/format that worked well (said it was successful). But when I went to burn it I got the following messages in the Build Log.
Warning: The file ‘IVEY_20022003.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
I tried burning this to both a DVD-R and a DVD+R. Both show only the menu screen when I play it on a DVD player, but give the "Not Available" circle with a slash indicator when I tried to play them, use any DVD remote command button, or click on a menu graphic.
What have I done wrong?
What other info do you need to know?
TIA

The problem is that you have created a HD DVD, not a SD DVD. HD DVDs will not play in stand alone DVD players. You need to delete the VIDEO_TS and HDDVD_TS folders that DVD SP created. Then open up DVD SP and get into the Preferences and change the settings to SD DVD. The bad news is now you have to start all over again and create your project again in DVD SP. You cannot start from your old project.
The warnings about .layout and .LAY files can be ignored. They are not the problem.

VTS on the final disc

Creating a DVD9 project that’s got 10 VTS folders in DVD ST PRO, resulting in several VTS.VOB files on the final disk. VTS folders in DVD ST PRO are named from VTS1 to VTS10, my question:
Will the name order in DVD ST PRO be the same order on the final disc – so that lets say VTS01 -> VTS05 are on the first layer and lets say VTS06 -> VTS10 on the second layer???? (will VTS10 be on the second layer, and lets say VTS03 be on the first layer)

If the split works out you can do what you want. Easiest way - put a dummy track of a few minutes in the middle of the two VTS where you want the split to occur and place markers in there and see if any are proper break points (or if the first marker on VTS 6 is acceptable ) Quick question, when you say folders do you mean DVD-ROM content?
What you do is
1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstinmate the Layer Break(s) should be
2.) Build the project (but not format)
3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) and selct one of the darkend selections.
4.) Press burn

Logic pro 9 won't install final disc additional Content. it keeps ejecting it and not reading. it reads all other discs in the install except for this one. How do i fix this solution? Disc looks brand new.

For some reason when ever the last disc is up to install, it will not read. Macbook pro will eject this disc only not the others. Please help me fix?

Mr. Willener,
Thank you for your reply.
I did un-install and then re-install per the Adobe recommendations which are what you listed in your reply. The problem remained until I did a MS Windows restore to a restore point a month or so ago. The IE problems vanished. However, now I'm using an outdated and unsupported version that is lower than most of the web pages require for their sites, at least the ones I want to view (they all say I need to upgrade my Flash Player which, when I did, put me in this fix).

You can safely ignore that requirement; it is simply not true.
Why would Adobe post a system requirement of 2.33 Ghz for 11.2 if it simply were not true?

I have been fighting this file witch came up out of no where for the first time ,if i could understand whats going on maybe i can burn a dvd Help !

Looks like you are making an HD DVD...a format that lost the high def disc wars. Only Macs with Superdrives and discontinued JVC HD DVD decks can play this format.
You need to make an SD DVD...I'll post the steps for that in a bit. If you want a high definition disc, you'll need a BluRay burner, and software like TOAST to burn it.
#42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
4. Now, select the green one, right click on it and select the top option "first play".
5. Now drag your QT from the browser and drop it on top of the green monitor.
6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
THATS ALL!!!
NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

Weird Poster Frame Jump on Final Disc

Hello,
I've just burned a disc on which I had placed poster frames. When I go to the scene selection, the chapter thumbnails look good because they are the poster frames that I selected. The problem is this: When I select a chapter, it does indeed go to the chapter mark, however after about a second it jumps and starts to play from where the poster frame was set!
I'm not sure what's wrong, or how to fix this.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

IDVD- transitions ok in preview but not in final disc

Hi guys!
this is my first iDVD project. I just wanted to create some slideshows from my last trip, add some music. The first disc I burned was perfect, used the default preset of "Best performace", but then I though of adding some titles to indicate what was in some pictures and burned it again using "Professional quality" setting this time. The problem is that ONE out of six slideshows didn't burn its transitions correctly. I get the menu screen between each picture instead of the "dissolve" effect that I had selected. Is very annoying and the slideshow looks all chopped off. I have checked my preview and everything seems correct. The dissolve transitions work correctly, but when I burn it, they get messed up. I have tried burning it twice with the same disastrous results and wouldn't want to waste more DVD discs.
Any ideas?
Thank you guys for any help in advance
Cheers!

CHAPTER BUTTON NOT WORKING ON FINAL BD-DISC

Hello,
I read several posts here about chapter issues but none of them addressed exactly to my problem.
So I have my HD (blu-ray) project on Encore 5 and have set 8 chapter markers. Each one is linked to a menu button that works perfectly.
It`s a simple project and works fine on the preview. But not on the final disc when playing in the BD player.
The next button on the remote control does not works. It also shows chapter 1/1.
The end actions set on each chapter is a link to the next chapter. E.g - The end actions set to chapter 2 a links to chapter 3. Except to the last chapter that has no end actions set.
Am I doing something wrong?
I appreciate any helps!
Bruno

I'm not sure if this is a playlist.
I've just set the chapter markers on the timeline.
Anyway, Is possible to use chapters on Encore for BD discs and have them work on blu-ray player remote control?
Thanks!
Bruno

Disc Image will not mount after format

I am trying to create a disc image from DVD Pro so that I can burn the final project at a low speed to avoid burn errors. Whenever I try to burn the image to DVD in Disc Utility it says that the file is not recognized. I have even tried to start the project from scratch and still am getting the same error message. Another weird thing that DVDSP is doing that is odd is when I am build and format, the log shows a ton of error messages saying that random files will not be included on the final DVD. Please help, I cannot figure oout what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Leon

Leon:
Warning: The file ‘2007KIAC_BBTOURNY.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
These are standard wraning. Nothing to take care about.
After deleting the old build empty your trash and try again. If DVDSP ask to reuse, you must be building to another location than where you think. Check that.
Hope that helps !

Panasonic DMR EZ37V, dvd don;t work , DVD are not finalized

We have a Panasonic DMR EZ37V that will no longer play DVDs. We want to get another DVD recorder, but want to know if DVD's not finalized on our machine will work on another company's DVD player-recorder

Welcome to the forum, charles!!
You're new, so don't sweat it, but this question belongs in the TV and home theater section. Flagged as such.
To answer your question, however...
I'm inclined to say yes, but I'll admit I'm guessing. Take an un-finalized disc to the store and ask to play it. They won't have a problem doing that for you if it earns your business. Good luck.

Cannot play disc

Hi,
I created a project in DVDSP. It builds find and says that formatting was successful. However, when I take it to the DVD player it says, "Cannot play disc." It's funny, b/c it plays on my computer DVD player.
During the build, the log said that it didn't include the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder - wondering if this is part of the problem. FYI, this is a copy of the log:
Warning: The file ‘AB_ROLLER.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.

Not sure if it's a simple setting that I'm missing, or what, but this has been bugging me all day.
I've taken the same quicktime and created it on idvd and it does just fine. what is it with DVDSP that i need to do special?
thanks.

You'll find in the General in your Disc settings, in the Inspector Windows (if you click in any empty space of your Graphic View, you'll get you disc in the Inspector window).
In DVDSP Preferences, in Project settings, you can change the by default setting for new projects.

Final Log Checkup: Warning: file will not be included...

Just a final checkup...
I am currently building my finished DVD project on to my master disk. I've noticed this throughout my test burns as well. The alert comes up saying:
Warning: The file 'filename.ext' found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
This error doesn't seem to affect the performance of the DVD, so is this just a reminder message? Does it really mean anything in the end?
Thanks

That is a good warning. You don't want those files in the VIDEO_TS folder and dvdsp removes them when formatting to media.
Some methods in Toast will remove them for you too but others you'll need to manually remove them.
See p567 of the dvdsp 4 manual, plus the PAR folder etc will be removed,

HT201177 I am trying to create home movies and each time there is no sound when I play back the disc. The sound is there when I play back in imovie and also after I've shared with idvd and played back. Not sure what else to do???

I am trying to create home movies, and do not have sound on the final disc. The sound is there in imovie and after sharing to idvd. This has only happened a couple of times before and I have made a lot of movies. I have just gone through about 8 discs, all with no audio when I play them!!!

You need to ask for support in the iMovie forum.
