Hardware DVD players skipping past last chapter into second track.

We are having trouble with hardware DVD players skipping past the last chapter marker and into the second track instead of returning to the menu. The only way we see to stop this is to disable the last chapter markers playback control/next program option. This will work to stop the jump to the next track but quickly cycling through the chapters will allow jumping to the next track.
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Boards
Yeah sometimes you can blow through the disable depending on the player and how fast you press. One thing I have used is a second marker which also disables the UOPs so that there is two disables in a row which seems to stop most players from blowing through the stop.

  • Newly burned DVD won't play last chapter

    I'm new to iDVD, so this may be a dumb question. I just burned my first DVD and when I put it into my DVD player it plays all but the last chapter of my menu. Any ideas?

    First test is to load it into your Mac and see if it plays with Macs "DVD Player" utility.
    Let us know whether it plays the disc with or without the same problems.

  • PC DVD players that can display chapter time elapsed

    I have authored some screener discs with a bunch of episodes on one timeline. I have a chapter marker at each episode. I took for granted apple dvdplayer's ability to display chapter time elapsed, which is a feature that can be found on most set top players as well. The recipients of these screener need to provide some timecodes and on their pc's they can only get the continuous timecode from 00:00:00, which really causes a headache.
    Anyone know of a PC software DVDplayer that allows you to view the elapsed time of the current chapter.
    thanks,
    ryan

    The time display on DVD players shows the time elapsed in a title set not individual chapters.
    The standard way to do this and more accurate is to create a timecode window dub with the time code filter in FCP before exporting.

  • Burned DVD skips frames (?) on DVD players

    I recently used my EyeTV 200 to encode some video, which I then exported to iMovie, and then sent it to iDVD from iMovie. I then burned the video to a DVD using iDVD. The burned DVD plays fine on my computer, but does not play correctly on two stand-alone DVD players (one purchased several years ago and one purchased within the last year). During any significantly speedy motion in the image, the moving parts have a jerkiness to them, sort of like it is dropping frames, but there is also a sort of ghosting effect, where the person moving on-screen is seen in the current frame and last frame's position. It's very distracting, and I can't figure out how to fix it, because the file plays fine at every earlier stage in the process.
    The encoding settings in EyeTV are as follows:
    MPEG-2
    NTSC 720x480 D1
    Constant bit rate of 15.0 Mbps
    GOP structure: IBP frames
    Audio: 384 kbps at 48.0 kHz
    The EyeTV file (8.4 GB) plays fine. Then I exported it to iMovie (which seems to be a straight conversion to DV), and it plays fine in iMovie. Then I clicked the "Create iDVD Project" button. I set up my menus, etc, in iDVD, and it plays fine there as well. iDVD is set to encode using Best Quality (the video is 1 hr. 15 min. long). I burned the project to a Maxell DVD-R 8x single-layer disc using a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-111D*. As I mentioned before, the resulting DVD plays fine using Apple's DVD Player software, but exhibits this weird skipping on both an old and a new stand-alone DVD player.
    I have looked everywhere for some sort of preference setting to boost the quality of the rendering in iDVD (thinking that might be the problem), but the fact that the final product plays fine on the computer seems to suggest that that isn't the problem, but I don't know what else it could be. I have plenty of free space on my hard drive, and a dual-processor 1.25 GHz G4 should be plenty of horsepower to encode this thing.
    Any insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    *: The Pioneer DVD burner is an after-market internal drive that I bought from MCE:
    http://www.mcetech.com/dvdr16xdt-d.html
    which is supposed to be 100% supported by Apple software (I think it's supposed to be the same model Apple uses for their superdrives). However, System Profiler lists it as unsupported:
    PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D:
    Firmware Revision: 1.06
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)
    Profile Path: None
    Cache: 2000 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
    Media: No
    But iDVD and the Finder both recognize it without any complaint (I've also used it to burn several DVD-R discs in the Finder - with no problems).

    EyeTV is what produced the original file. I knew that re-compression could produce problems as I moved from EyeTV to iMovie to iDVD to burned DVD, so to avoid that as much as possible, I put the settings as high as possible - that's why the EyeTV file is an 8.4 GB file for 75 minutes of video, which is a pretty large file for that amount of video.
    But like I said, there is no problem with the quality of the EyeTV file, or the iMovie file, or the iDVD file. They all play beautifully. The burned DVD plays beautifully when it is played on the computer. The only problem is when I try to play the burned DVD on a stand-alone DVD player with a TV.

  • Aspect Ratio Conversion Hardware in DVD Players

    We shoot/edit/author product that goes straight to DVD or digital download. It is very unlikely that what I produce will end up broadcast. We are leaning toward shooting new features in 16:9. My question is: does anyone know approximately when DVD players started coming with Aspect Ratio Conversion Hardware as a standard feature? (I have a really old (pre-millenium) JVC at home that doesn't have that.) Our main concern is that we don't want to make the switch to 16:9 only if it is a recent occurrence because we don't want to have upset customers trying to view it 4:3. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

    You've either gotten bad advice or simply aren't clued into DVD technology.
    DVDs, as a format, launched with anamorphic widescreen. The first discs ever sold by Warners Bros (champion of the format) in March of 1997 contained anamorphic content on one side and pan-scan transfers on another.
    Finalized in 1995, the DVD spec clearly states that all players, in order to bear the DVD logo, must be able to letterbox anamorphic content for playback on a 4:3 TV. I still have a DVD player from 1999, and it is indeed able to letterbox.
    I've never come across a player sold in the US that wasn't able to letterbox anamorphic material. Are you sure you're not setting the TV Shape (or maybe it's labeled Aspect Ratio) on your player incorrectly?

  • Last Chapter won't work after creating DVD

    Created movie in FCE with 5 chapter markers added. Last one is at the start of credits. When I add this movie to idvd everything looks good. All chapter markers are there and work, both in mocie and from scenes submenu. But after I compile and save dvd to .dmg file the last chapter I created will not work from the scenes submenu though it still works from the movie. Any thoughts......

    Did you make any edits to your movie after putting it into iDVD? There is a bug in iDVD that causes incorrect playback of chapters if you change anything in the movie.
    There is no 'fix' for this...you have to recreate your iDVD project.

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

  • TS2180 DVDs won't play in regular DVD players iDVD burns with no errors the DVDs always get out into a folder ???

    Dear Apple friends The iDVD burns DVDs with-out any error messages but DVDs dont play in regular DVD players I notice that the DVD burns to a folder and there is no setting to prevent this How do you burn the DVD with-out it getting put into a folder ??? Thanks Mike

    That often is a result of using inferior DVD disks and burning at too high a speed.  What brand and type of disk did you use and what speed did you burn at?
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Audio/video sync issues at chapter points, on certain DVD players

    I created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4, had it replicated at a manufacturing facility, and have now sent out copies to approximately 600 people. About a dozen or so of my customers have experienced issues where at the chapter points for the film (a 60-minute documentary) the audio and video go out of sync. Unfortunately I can't describe this issue any more accurately than that because I haven't seen the problem. The disc plays fine on the vast majority of players. The people that are experiencing the problem have DVD players like the Sony DVP-NC655P and the Samsung DVD-R120.
    Does anyone have any clue at all as to what the issue could be?
    Thanks very much.
    G5 Dual 2.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Is your audio PCM or AC3? If the audio is going out of sync on onlyl a handful of set-top players, the build is probably OK, and your media is probably starting out in sync. I suspect that your bit rate may be be too high, and the audio is chiking the buffer on the player, making the audio go out of sync. What format of audio is on the disc, and what is combined average/maximum bit rate?
    Hope this helps -

  • When i'm building dual layered dvds, the layer break is causing the dvd to skip to the beginning of the next chapter.

    when i'm building dual layered dvds, the layer break is causing the dvd to skip to the beginning of the next chapter.

    I would echo everything John just said - especially (and this is really important) that part about setting burn speeds to the minimum.
    Do not worry about doing this as IMGburn will automatically adjust upwards to the minimum burn speed actually supported by the media/burner combination.
    @danielrow.
    How are you currently setting your layer break please, and what OS are you running?
    If on a PC there is a fantastic tool called PGCEdit that is a swiss army knife and moreover something no authoring house should be without.......

  • Not recognizing last chapter

    First I have iDVD v 7.0.4, iMovie v6.0 & iMovie v8.0.4. I just created .img file from 1 hr 40 min movie created by iMovie v6 with 6 chapter marks. You can select chapters 1-5 but can not select chapter 6 when playing the .img file using DVD Player. Yesterday I created .img file from 1 hr 45 min totally different movie using iMovie v8.0.4 with 5 chapter marks. You can select chapters 1-4 but can not select chapter 5 when playing the .img file using DVD Player OR when the .img file is burned to DVD the same problem exists on two DVD players or when playing the DVD on the computer. When playing either movie in iDVD BEFORE creating the .img file you can select the last chapter OK. You CAN select the last chapter in either movie (on .img file) by selecting to the next to last chapter and then selecting the button to jump to next chapter, so the chapter marker is recorded in both cases. Problem has to be with iDVD since the same problem occurs with both iMovie versions. I've found I need to deleted the iDVD.plist file when switching between the 2 movies. I've created lots of movies in the past using older versions of iDVD without this problem. Believe this is the first movie I've done on the MACPRO purchased last Dec. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

    You can select chapters 1-5 but can not select chapter 6 when playing the .img file using DVD Player.
    Does this particular chapter fall outside of the TV Safe Area?
    If so, return it to the TV Safe area and try again to burn the Dvd. (you will of course need to delete the current encoded assets to re encode your iDvd project again).
    If placing the chapter back within the TV Safe area fails to help / resolve this issue then you'll need to look at an alternate app like:

  • Simple Autoplay in DVD Players

    Hi,
    I had asked a few questions in the Pro forum regarding the process of Pro to Encore to DVD, which is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1118164?start=0&tstart=0
    I'm familiar with Pro, and have watched the tutorials on Encore (CS4).  But I don't "get it" and I just wanted to know, if I have imported my "Exported" MPEG2-DVD from Pro, and have already imported the timeline into Encore, and imported and placed the .wav file right under the timeline, how:
    1. Do I just select the first frame-image of the disc to begin an autoplay when insterted into standard DVD players (no crazy stuff - just it goes in, it begins playing, no other menu options)?  And if I don't even need to select that "first-frame image" (which I suspect I do for Encore to associate the action with), then that's fine too (as long as it will just begin playing).
    Thank You!
    (and Happy Holidays)!

    "So you might have a menu of just the last frame, with the timeline end action being that menu. And the end action of that menu being "stop." The menu should be set to hold forever, so the only real stop will be when the user clicks stop."
    Thanks Stan!
    Got the 3rd one, and set a few chapter points just to jump to if desired!  Thanks!
    And as for the 2nd question: not sure if that means - I should set it to "hold forever".  (I do see that option there on the right side under "Menu / Motion - Properties").  I just watched the video on "menus" but again it shows it using a Photoshop image with titles.  So if this is my only/best option, HOW do I do that (create a menu I guess of just the last frame, and then what do I do with it)?
    My only guess is - select the exact frame near the end of the Timeline, and choose "New Menu".  Having never created or used a menu in Encore before, I will guess that: that creates essentially a still image of that exact frame at the end, and allows me to set a specific action for it now.  If any of this is right, I'm not sure if I should now also "point" the menu to anything as I did the "sequence 1" before in the flow chart.  I would think so.  (I did try creating the menu and then pointing from the END of the sequence in the flowchart, and think this could be correct/what you mean).
    And I am still not sure if I need to set another specific action for the menu (you said "stop" and the default is set to "stop").  And the "End Action" - hold forever IS checked.
    - But when I play the Timeline, I do NOT see the menu at the end (the way I believe you mean - meaning that it plays that near-final frame "now-still-image" and plays it in a loop).  I actually don't see it playing at all or any duration for it in the last screenshot image, on the right side. 
    Thanks a ton!

  • Help, I'm drowning...movies play on computer but not in DVD players

    a problem i seem to have with my videos is that when I am done, they play on computers using dvd player apps but when I burn them to a DVD to play in a DVD player they do not play correctly. It drops frames or looks like they skip or something..For instance they play for a couple of seconds, stop, continue to play, stop, continue to play...this goes on throughout the entire video.
    What causes this to happen? I've experimented with different compression formats and get the same outcome. I also tried both DVD studio and Toast to burn the DVD and get same results with both.
    Is there a basic setting that I am over looking? What is the format that everyone uses when using Compressor? Currently I go from FCP, to Compressor, to DVD...I have nearly went through all the compressor formats and still get jerky,stop/play/stop/play video when going to the DVD format....
    HELP...what am I over looking??

    "....and you still haven't converted your audio to Dolby2 as I've suggested since my first post."
    YES It was converted in compressor to a Dolby/ac3 file this morning when i mentioned it in my last post .."that I re-compressed it again as a "Best Quality 90...." and said that it fixed about 95% of the jerkiness..."
    And since your first post i've only been at the project since this morning...not last night.and it was the first thing i tackled (and tried) when i got in ..When I posted the issue i was at home and not at the office, so Iwas not able to try anything until this morning
    So let me re-explain what I have done to the file since 7:30 this AM..
    I re-sent it to compressor, compressed at Best 90/Dolby ->AC3....I then opened DVDsp...I dragged both files...(the Mpeg file and the AC3 to the DVDsp window...Simulated and burned..I burn two copies. one for me, one for the client...we use two different DVD players. He says its still a lil jerky...I reply saying yes I saw it on my disc as well.
    SO with being said and the file IS currently a dolby AC3...why would it still be jerky?
    Would it have anything to do with footage being ripped from another disc?
    I really appreciate the help you offering but it sounds like you are being condescending trough your answers and making it seem as though i am not doing what you suggest.

  • DVD always skips/shakes

    Hi guys,
    I posted in the iMovie section because its video related but I'm actually using Toast to do the burning.
    Im having problems burning dvds that are from VHS.
    My Setup:
    Using a device called iGrabber I convert old video tapes into a digital movie onto my mac.
    I then load that file (quicktime) into Toast Pro, according to toast it says its been captured at about 23.47 frames, though it usually varies, but ultimately around 23. I know PAL should capture at 25fps but Im sure the issue isnt the 23fps.
    Once Ive burnt my dvd it plays back on all dvd players with a odd shake and slight stutter, put it this way...ITS NOT WORKING! :-(
    When I play the quicktime file on my mac its fine and so is the burnt DVD, its just if you use anything other than my mac it wont work properly!
    Any ideas?

    John,
    Thanks for your help, the reason i started using toast was because iDVD was really poor at encoding the high file sizes that iGrabber was producing, whilst toast is really good at just automatically fitting it onto dvd.
    I did what you said last night with just a small clip, the strange thing is imovie changed a 4:3 vid into 16:9, which isnt a issue because it looked pretty rad but again when i burnt it with idvd it had a strange shake/blur kind of picture. And i dont think i will be able to use imovie and idvd as they take to long and the file sizes wont get on with idvd.
    I really want to offer this vhs to dvd as a service for some extra much needed cash and Im having issue after issue, just recently ive been thinking about going back to pc, getting shot of final cut and using something like adobe premier elements or pinacle coz a PC cant be that bad?!
    Once again everyone, thankyou for your advice, the coolest thing about Apple is this forum!
