HD-DVD don't Play on Apple DVD Player

My Business is HD-DVD for Software training.
but, my client complain for about 3 month ago because that HD-DVD (4.7GB) can't play on Mac ( apple DVD Player 5.5 )
first time, we try HVTS folder drop into Apple DVD Player. OK.
but about 10 minute. stop.
Apple DVD Player bug pix please.
we can wait Apple's develope, but our client can't wait Apple's unbalance develope.
( FCPX,MOTN5 just up, the other ??? )

The HD-DVD format was abandoned back in 2008.
Apple has abandoned DVD Studio Pro.
If your HD-DVD media is working on a Mac it is a fortunate happenstance.
I would not expect anything related to HD-DVD to be updated, fixed, or improved in any way, shape, or form.
Blu-Ray is the only way to deliver HD video on some sort of disc. There are ways to do this through Compressor but for any sort of control over authoring you would have to look at a non-Mac piece of software.

I have movies converted to mp4 that play on iTunes but don't play on apple tv2, any ideas why?

I've converted many avi files to mp4 using AVIDEMUX. All of them are on iTunes and there I can watch all of them, but when playing them using AppleTV 2, some can't be played and no error is showed on apple tv. Any ideas on how to fix it?

actual details of the file. (bitrate, framerate, resolution etc).
open the file in quicktime and then open the movie inspector. post those results.

Podcast videos don't play on Apple TV2

I have had this issue for awhile and can't find a solution so I am hoping that someone can give me some ideas on what is going on and how to fix this issue.
I have an Apple TV2 and a MBP running Lion. This issue also cropped up when I was running Snow Leopard. When I select podcast videos to play them the sound is fine but the video doesn't play. It stays stuck on the introductory frame. I can play it on my MBP but it doesn't play on my Apple TV. The latest episode was trying to play the extras that came with the movie, Rio. Could hear the sound just fine but the video didn't play. Very frustrating! And it appears to only be the video podcasts, not videos I shot with my camera nor movies or tv shows, just video podcasts. Any ideas anyone??? I am stumped. Thanks for the help, Judy

There is an easy fix for you.
1) Select the video / podcast / etc that is not working properly for Apple TV
2) In iTunes select Advanced -> Create iPad or Apple TV Version
iTunes will make an optimized copy ready to stream to your Apple TV.

Created DVDs don't play on other machines

I have had an MBA since the summer and bought a new imac last week-end. I have created two DVDs on the MBA using the external disk drive. The DVDs play perfectly well on the MBA, but the imac just spews them out. They also don't play on the DVD player in the lounge, but the one in our spare room (£27 from Asda some time ago) plays them OK. Any ideas?

The way to test a finished Dvd (or even a disc image for that matter) is with apple's Dvd player application.
Assuming the disc image plays exactly as expected, then we can pretty much rule out the machine used to create it. Let's assume it plays fine through Apple's DVD Player, then the next 2 items we need to consider are Media and Burn Speed (hopefully set to 4x or lower).
I highly recommend using the highest quality media available for most macs like Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. I also recommend avoiding media like Memorex (at least while troubleshooting on this iDvd Forum).

Created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read

created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read. I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd. Any suggestions. I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video. I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player. The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.
I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project. But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu?
When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options. It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.). You need software that will made a DVD-V disc. Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn.

How to make a DVD that will play on a DVD player if I don't have iDVD

How do I make a DVD that will play on a DVD player if I don't have iDVD?

First you will need a video DVD authoring applicaiton like iDVD. If you have iDVD export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure 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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

IPod classic wont play 3rd party dvd player with apple composite cable

I want to play the videos in my iPod classic 120GB(MB526LL) on my Phillips DCP750 dvd player. I am using the Apple Composite cable which I brought in the spring of 2008 with the Apple Universal Dock (MB125G) and they will not play. When I tried to just use the cable with the Phillips I received the error message “ TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory “ so I brought the dock Using the dock I do not get the message. Instead the audio comes through the headphones on my iPod but no video on the dvd player nor on the iPod. I have the iPod settings to TV out, screen standard and PAL since I am in the UK. Is it possible that my cables are too old and do not have the chip that I have read about? Should I be using the component cable rather than the composite? I have tried to find the older firmware prior to 1.0.2 but can’t. Is it worth my while to make an appointment with my local Apple store and take cables, player, dock and iPod to the Genius bar? If anyone has had this problem and figured it out could they explain to me step by step what I should be doing. I hate the idea of having to spend more money on cables and will probably just continue to watch videos on the ipod or else on the Macbook if I can not figure out a work around.
Thanks in advance.

I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this.
Tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
IDVD is included with iLife 11 ON DISK.
For making movies there is no alternative or substitute for iDVD. (Buy it while you still can.)
I've tried Burn and Toast and many others, iDVD is by far the best.

For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.

Problems playing DVD in Apple DVD player

Hi guys. I am having some trouble with a DL DVD I burned in DVD SP 4.1.0. The DVD plays correctly everywhere (set tops and computers) except when using the Apple DVD player 4.0 (I think that's the version that came with OS 10.3.9.). I have a newer version of the player on my system and everything works fine but when I send the disk out for testing, it comes back with a ton of errors when played on an older version of the Apple DVD player - buttons not working properly, video tracks not followng the end jump, menus not linking, etc.
Is this a known issue between DVD SP 4.1 and Apple DVD player 4.0 (or DL disks and Apple DVD 4.0)? What should I do about this? I've burned DL disks in DVD SP 2.0 before without any problems. I just recently upgraded to 4.1 and now am having this issue. If I maybe use Roxio to burn the disk would that help? Anyone have any experience with this issue? Thanks?

If I maybe use Roxio to burn the disk would that help?
I personally think it would.
I always use Toast to burn discs
Past experience has shown that when DVDSP has burned the discs they often had errors, the same projects burned using Toast produced faultless results
I now author in DVDSP, building the VIDEO_TS folders to the hard drive, then burn these to disc using Toast.

First Play "Not Permitted" on Apple DVD player

I have some duplicated DVD-Rs of a project, and the client ha reported a disutrbing error. I've been told that on several different Macs running OS 10.2 - 10.4, not only does the disc not auto launch DVD player and not auto-play the first play menu, but when the user presses play on the floating control, they get a "Not Permitted" message. The user reported that they were able to choose "open Video_TS" and navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc, at which point they were able to get the disc to play.
The disc include a significant amount of content on the ROM sector of the disc, including an autorun and an .exe file for windows users. However, I can't see how the presence of these ROM files could interfere with the operation of DVD Player and the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc.
Furthermore, the duplication master for this disc has been formatted directly from DVD studio as a standrd DVD volume - no Toast burn, hybrid volume formatting, anything like that.
Upon inspection I discovered that my authoring assistant had specified a pre-script on the first play menu. I try never to use pre-scripts for anything, as I have found the way DVD studio handles them to be unreliable. However, I suspect this pre-script on the first play menu as the culprit in this problematic behavior, and have removed it.
The problem consists in that I did not experience this problem with any of the DVD-R checkdiscs I burned from DVD studio, unti the discs were duplicated. We'll be doing a full-scale replication run as the next step. Since I am not able to reproduce this problem on discs I burn here, I'd like find a way to know I have fixed the problem.
My question is, has anyone else ever encountered issues with their first-play menu throwing up this "not permitted" condition in Apple DVD Player? Has anyone ever found a connection between this issue and pre-scripts, or between this issue and any ROM files?
I suspect that DVD studio's pre-scripts are "simulated" or translated through the abstratction layer of DVD studio in a way that allows them to be outside the DVD spec, or perhaps there are other ways DVD studio might be using the pre-command on a menu, such as when you specify a button selection for a menu, that use the menu pre-command, and override the pre-script you might have spcified for the menu.

I've seen it on replicated masters when a dvd-r master was used and not all regions were selected as ok to play. DSP doesn't 'check' region 7 by default... its best to use a region all project and .img files, not VIDEO_TS builds to the HD.
How were the discs duplicated though? That is probably the cause of the problem, not the pre-Script. Maybe a 'Data' disc was burnt and not a DVD-Video type option...

Buttons don't navigate properly in Apple DVD Player!

Hello there,
This is extraordinarily frustrating! Can somebody please help ASAP?
We're running DVD Studio Pro 4.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.9, and we just finished authoring a DVD with a layered menu created from a Photoshop document.
When we put the DVD into a normal DVD player connected to our television, the remote control works as expected to navigate through our buttons. When we press right, it goes to the right (as we programmed it to do so). When we press left, it goes to the left (as we programmed it to do so). Everything works just fine!
HOWEVER -- here is the problem: When we put it into our computer running APPLE'S VERY OWN Apple DVD Player, the simulated remote on the screen has a mind of its own! When we press right on one button, it will go to the left. When we press right on another button, it will go up. When we press down on one button, it will go left. This is absolutely MADDENING! And this is Apple's OWN player!
We've also noticed that the simulator within DVD Studio Pro plays back the DVD verry slow... in a choked performance way. More so than we've seen with any DVD in the past. Is this part of the problem?
We are pulling our hair out over here trying to solve this! Can anyone please help?
Thanks!
Scott

An overlay style menu is a lot easier to create than a layer based one, and ionvolves just two flat files - one for the background (with everything on it that you want to show when buttons are not selected, etc) and one for the highlights (the overlay layer contains the shapes, text, tick, underline arrow or whatever that you want to show up when the button is selected).
These menus react faster, take only one click to activate a button and support the use of audio. They can't get as graphically rich as a layer based menu and if that is the prime consideration then I'd recommend using a series of menus linked together to go between the different button states, as this is still better than a photoshop layer based menu (which, incidentally, gets turned into a series of linked menus anyway as your disc is being built!)

I am afraid you cannot connect the external DVD player to the iPad. It won't work.

Having trouble with apple DVD player playing Mpeg-2 file

I have this error on my ibook when i try to play an mpeg-2 file recently created through HD - Export/Using quicktime conversion.
The error from Apple DVD player is Dvd Player encountered a system error. could not detect a valid media file. [-70001]
Is there something Iam doing to this when i cut it? I have the same problem on both my laptop exppress harddrive, desktop express version 2.
Is tere a different way I should do this?
Thanks

Hello Richard,
That error code suggests that the region code has been changed 5 times. You can only change the region 5 times in iDVD.
Have a look in here
for some alternate players. There are some really good ones.
I hope that helps some.
Regards

Burned DVD but won't play on Apple or two other DVD players

My kids scratch up original movie DVDs so thought I would make a copy that they could use and keep the original pristine. Copied audio and video folders from movie DVD onto harddrive. New Memorex DVD-RW into Apple and dragged audio and video folders from harddrive into the blank Memorex DVD in Finder. Went to File and Burn Disc and disc burned and when finished DVD Player opened. No movie spontaneously played. Could not play movie or fast forward or rewind or even eject disc from DVD controls. DVD placed in separate DVD Player and comment saying Disc Error. DVD in another DVD player, player kept trying to load DVD and finally said No Disc. How do I correct this problem? Using iDVD 4. Burned at maximum (2X).

hi Darrell:
My kids scratch up original movie DVDs
Should that really say My kids scratch up original commercial movie DVDs?
If that is true then you cannot copy your movie to the DVD the way you stated and as a matter of fact that is because it is protected by law.

I made a movie on iMovie and went to burn to DVD and of course I could not...contacted Apple and they said to download an app to help solve this problem...i did..so I could finally burn a DVD, but it will not play on my DVD player...HELP!!!

I made a movie on IMovie and went to burn it to a DVD ...I could not do this so I contacted Apple..they had me download an App and then I could make a DVD...but it will not play on my DVD player...does anyone know how I can solve this problem.. I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

This is a known issue. It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
This article will help. It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

DVDSP v 1.5 +OS 10.4.9 = DVDs play in a standalone player, not apple player

I recently upgraded my OS to 10.4.9, but my DVDSP is version 1.5. Now it will "build" dvds, but it won't "build and format" (burn) dvds. Does this have something to do with quick time 7?
ALSO: I burned the audio TS and video TS folders to a DVD - and it plays, but only in my stand alone DVD player. When I try to play it on my computer Apple DVD player says disc is not supported. What's going wrong?
I Mac Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.4.9)
I Mac Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Turthfully I am suprised DVD SP even runs at all on 10.4.9. It stopped being usuable awhile ago in OS terms. Is your iMac also an Intel Machine? If so you would need the Universal Binary
As to getting something to play that works on standalones but not the Apple Player, it is strange. How did you burn it since the Format from DVD SP is not working?
