Getting A PAL error in DVD studio after compression

OK, so I have no idea what is going on here, as I have never ran into this problem.
I have a client who brought in an older sony cybershot camera. Since the camera has no output, I pulled the memory stick, and brought the footage into my computer from that.
Everything went fine up to and including compression. I have tried this multiple times on multiple machines and get the same result. After compression while completing the DVD process, when I import the video into assets in DVD studio I get an error.
"PAL assets cannot be imported into NTSC projects."
The client assures me that the camera and memory stick were purchased here in the US.
Why am I being told that this is PAL video after compression?
Also posting this in DVD studio pro forum, figured this one was more viewed.

Unfortunately the video format of older Cybershot cameras is neither PAL or NTSC but rather something called mpeg VX. Its 640 x 480 and only runs at 15fps.
DVD studio is probably getting confused by the frame rate and throwing an error because the software is expecting 30fps. (29.97)

Getting Chapters from IDVD to DVD Studio Pro

I have a video that must be paused after chapter segments by user and have found that I need to use DVD studio pro which I purchased today with no knowledge of how it works. Post just today explains that.
I built an entire movie with transitions, audio and chapters iniDVD and Now I would like to get those chapter markers into DVD studio pro. Do i have to first export to Final Cut and then export to DVD Studio.
I have made a quicktime movie that when viewed in Quicktime shows all the chapters(31 in all).
Is there a better way to do this than manually find each time points and adding markers in dvd pro?
Secondly, once i get those markers in DVD studio, can i create a pause and next function as one whole movie or do they need to be separate items(term).
Thansk for any guidance.

If you added Chapter Markers in Final Cut Pro, then you are all set. In FCP, Export a QuickTime Movie and when the dialog box opens make sure your Markers are set to "DVD Studio Pro Markers".
If you added Chapter Markers in iDVD, then you are out of luck. You have to do it all over again. You could add Chapter Markers in DVD SP, but I recommend doing it in FCP.

How do you fix a "compiler file error" in DVD Studio Pro?

I've tried to burn a DVD from a project file in DVD Studio Pro a couple times now and get a "Compiler File Error" each time. What does it mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

where are you assests from? did you use compressor to create a mpeg2 and dolby audio file? did you export self contained and bring into compressor? or a reference movie? What were your orginal seq settings? More details.

Color corrections don't get processed when burned in DVD Studio Pro

I am working on an FCP project that has alot of darkened day for night clips. I export using compressor at best quality, and project looks great in viewer in DVD Studio Pro, but for some reason when I burn the final DVD and watch it, all the darkness changes are gone, and the footage is in it's original state. What is causing this? How can I burn a DVD that looks like what I am exporting?? Other thing is that when I burn a quicktime of the same project to a DVD using toast, the color changes remain, and they look more accurate- I thought Quicktime would be lower quality than Compressor?

I have acutaly been using this technique on a recent project, and have a few additional observations:
One is that, even if you use a black background in your menu, and map your button colors to black, not all players generate the overlay colors the same way, and the black patches sometimes appear lighter then the background, particularly on software players, since computers are generating RGB vs. YUV.
Another detail is that when a button is activated, the overlays disappear, and all the button graphics embedded in the background are visible while the player switches to the new menu. I have however used the following workaround for this: Generally players will display a freeze frame of the background of the menu while switching to the jump target, usually the first frame or loop point of a menu with motion assets. By creating each menu as an animation where the buttons fade up in the first few frames, I can create a "clean" background for use as the freeze frame displayed during the switch.
This particular disc hhas a tight bit budget, and lots of menus, and so I am creating very short motion assets (1 second) and setting them to "still" at end. I haven't acutally checked this on a player yet, to see whter the still or the beginning of the asset gets used as the freeze frame, I'll post back with the answer after I have tested it.

Formatting error in DVD Studio Pro

I am trying to burn a DVD in DVD Studio Pro. I converted the video in Compressor from HD video to MPEG-2 5.0Mbps 2-pass and the Audio to Dolby Digital Professional 2.0. The video was built in FCP 6.0.5 I went into the Simulate tab and everything looks fine as far as everything linked properly and all buttons working. When I go to burn I get the following error code. "Formatting failed. building was not successful. See log." The log reads as follows "Sarting DVD Build UNTITLED DISK..." Next line reads "Compiler File Error"
I checked in the Assets and Status has a green light on Video and Audio.
I used iDVD to burn the disk, dragged over my *.MOV file and everything burned fine. I need to get it working since I start school tomorrow for FCP.

Version 4 (4.2.2) is the latest DVDSP release…and unfortunately is the last.
Can you output as a disk image? If you can't, I would clear out your preferences; use Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion.
If you can make an img, I would suspect hardware…specifically. the optical drive.
Good luck.

DVD Burning Error within DVD Studio Pro

Hi There,
Tonight I tried to burn a DVD Studio Pro project to a DVD. Up until now it has been smooth sailing. Tonight when I went to burn my completed project, it began formatting and then I received a Unknown Device Error after the DVD drive worked for about 2 minutes. If anyone has any ideas or if you think I need a new drive please let me know. The drive information is below:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846:
Firmware Revision: FQ3T
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds

First thing is to diagnose if the drive is a problem by putting in a DVD and trying a burn other than from Studio Pro. How's that work?
The formatting part is interesting, formatting what exactly?

Get menus 16:9 in DVD Studio Pro?

Why does DVD Studio Pro compress my 3GB video?

I thought since the original Quicktime movie I made with FCP was under the 4.7(?) capacity of a DVD, that Studio Pro wouldn't compress my 3GB movie. But after import to DVD Studio Pro the whole project only shows up as using 350MB of space. And when burned and played back the video looks horrible! Artifacting (?), etc.
Do I need to go into Compressor and select a setting there BEFORE bringing it into Studio Pro? What setting is recommended? (8 min, wide screen, HD).
Thanks!

>I thought since the original Quicktime movie I made with FCP was under the 4.7(?) capacity of a DVD, that Studio Pro wouldn't compress my 3GB movie.
Unfortunately, you thought wrong. The DVD video specification requires MPEG-2 video and either AC3 or PCM audio, specially multiplexed and formatted as VOB files. So the size of the source file doesn't really matter.
>Do I need to go into Compressor and select a setting there BEFORE bringing it into Studio Pro?
That would be preferable.
>What setting is recommended?
Duplicate one of the DVD presets and adjust the bit rate to increase the quality ... but do not exceed 8.0mbps or the disc may stutter in some players. Encode the audio as Dolby Digital (.ac3).
>8 min, wide screen, HD
You're out of luck there ... DVD is a standard definition format only. If you want to deliver HD content on an optical disc, it will have to be Blu-ray - not DVD.

"get all new data request by request" after compressing source Cube

Hi
I need to transfer data from one Infocube to another and use the Delta request by request.
I have tried this when data on Source Infocube was not compressed and it worked.
Afterwards some requests were compressed and after that the delta request by request is transfering all the information to target Infocube in only one request.
Do you know if this a normal behavior?
Thanks in advance

Hi
The objective of compression is it will delete all the request in your F table and moves data to E table.after compression you don't have request by request by data.
This is the reason you are getting all the data in single request.
Get data request by request works, if you don't compress the data in your Cube.
If you want to know about compression, check the below one

Hello. How do I get my FCP sequence into DVD Studio Pro? I've tried exporting as QT movie, then importing as asset, am told format is incompatible.

Trying to get my HD sequence in FCP to burn to DVD. How to accomplish this? I export sequence as Quicktime movie, try to import as as asset, after a couple minutes a window says "format incompatible" or something to that effect.
Also, in FCP the canvas only shows timeline video when it's playing. When stopped, blank screen -- how do I fix this?
Many thanks.

#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 amd select the top option "first play".
5. Now drag your QT from the broswer 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.

no there is no other way allowresetlogs_corruption is one of the last resort unless oracle dont recommend,usually you got this error when restored datafile is far behind then others datafile CKPT SCN+COntrolfile CKPT SCN header.

You will have to apply enough redo to that datafile either from archivelog or from online redo log file,if you cant then no way you can open the database except using allowresetlogs_corruption with the oracle recommendation.
Think why archivelog backup ,database backup and online redo log file, controlfile redundency is recommended.

DVD Studio Pro must be serialized before using...?

I keep getting an error when I try encoding using QT and A.Pack. The error reads "DVD Studio Pro must be serialized before using A.Pack/QT." I have legit software and I've registered my software, but this error keeps popping up and it's a hassel when I need to rush on projects. I'm using compressor, but for certain projects I like to use QT for encoding...please help!!
MB

Have you just opened DVD SP and re-entered the serial number?
If not then do so, if DVD SP isn't installed then install it, then open it and input the serial number, that's all it's asking for.
The Mpeg 2 encoder is part of the DVD SP's install and activated when DVD SP is launched and serialized.

I am getting photshop file error while opening the project. I am using Adobe production premium CS6.

Hi,
I have try to open one comp file in After effects and i am getting an following error for linked PSD,
After that i have tried to open that PSD file in photoshop and i am getting an following error,
I am using Adobe production premium CS6. Could you please anyone faced this problem or provide some solution regarding this.
Thanks in advance :-)

I have the same suspicions as Szalam. This Photoshop file was probably made in the creative cloud version. You need to get one backsaved to CS6. The backsave shouldn't be a problem.

Windows - error : output module .mov after effects

When exporting a Quicktime movie from After Effects on windows 7, I get the following error ...
After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "(my main internal drive / my file name).mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-161-153464).
I see a lot of suggestions for limiting the number of processors by using "msconfig" to change the "boot" file. This seems like a poor solution because it affects how all other programs use the processors.
Does anyone have any other help on how to resolve this without reducing processors ?
Thanks, for any help.

RESOLVED
I uninstalled Quicktime Pro. Re-started computer. Re-installed Quicktime Pro. Restarted After Effects.
.mov output works fine now.
