How do I remove an attached DVD-ROM file from DVD Studio Pro?

How do I permanently remove a file that was once built into a disc image in DVDSP?
I have a project that I frequently use to author DVDs. It has custom menus already created. Each time I author a new DVD, I simply replace the .m2v and .ac3 that are in track 1 (along with changing drop zones, chapter menus, etc). At some point along the way I had also included an attached DVD-ROM file in the disc image. Now I can't seem to get rid of it. Even unchecking the box in the inspector and in the build/format menu, it still shows up on the .img. When I deleted the file from the computer, it failed to build the .img.
Specs: I'm using the 2009 MacPro listed below, but using FCS2 on a Snow Leopard partition of the startup drive.

Never mind. PEBKAC.
I had multiple copies of the disc image open. The latest one was correct. Never author DVDs when low on caffeine.

How to export subtitles create in DVD Studio Pro into a Quicktime file?

Hi,
My film was edited in Final Cut, then exported to DVD Studio Pro to make dvds. Subtitles were added in DVD Studio Pro.
I need now to make a Quicktime file of the film for web streaming and the file still needs to include the subtitles (or the option to make them appear)
but how can I export the subtitles (dvd studio pro type of files) to my Quicktime file, for streaming?
I read that this is possible but how?
Please help!!
Thanks!
Paula

A DVD uses VOBSUB aka. idx/sub format subtitles which are bitmap images. QuickTime itself does not support this format but Perian can sort of allow them to work. However firstly Perian is Mac only, and secondly I would not expect this work in a web-browser. In fact I don't think there is anyway to control subtitles in a web-browser.
If you have the subtitles in a text format, preferably .SRT format, then you may have more options but again I would think you would still have problem in a web-browser.
In general terms, the best utility for adding text subtitles to a QuickTime compatible file is iSubtitle details are available here http://www.bitfield.se/isubtitle/index.html
What would be possible would be to 'burn' permenantly the image of the subtitles in to the video. This means they would always be visisble even in a web-browser but could not be turned off. You would also be limited to a single language. There are several tools that could do this including Handbrake (to convert directly from the DVD), and SubMerge also from Bitfield.
There are some tools for Windows that use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert the bitmap subtitles in to text ones.

How to add chapter marker in DVD Studio Pro

I have imported 7 movie clips into DVD Studio Pro but forgot to put chapter markers on them. Is there any way that I can add these in DVD SP direct?

Hi
Of course you can, but be aware that from iside DVDSP you can only add markers at GOP boundaries, what means you cannot select an exact frame, like yuo can do when adding markers in FCP or Compressor.
To add a marker in DVDSP, select the track and place the playhead in the place where you want to add your marker and press M.
Hope that helps !

How do I remove the "distributed" and "response" file from my form?

I created a form for my clients to fill out. I want to be able to post the form on my website so the client can download the form, edit it, save it, print it if they like, and email it to me manually. I do NOT want the form to have a submit button, nor do I wish to have the responses tracked.
Currently I have a form that is set up like that. How can I remove the criteria in the form that is responsible for emailing me as well as tracking the response file? I want to the form to just be void of any link to my email as well as any response file on my end.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone can help...
Thank you,
Vincent

For some odd reason, Acrobat Standard does not allow you to edit document-level JavaScripts, so you have to use an alternative approach.
The first thing to do is find the hidden button and make it visible. To do this, select the Select Object tool, which is a black arrow pointing to the upper-left. When the tool is active, you should see the previously hidden button on the first page:
Double-click the button and go to the General tab and set the Form Field dropdown in the Common Properties area to Visible. Then go to the Actions tab and delete the "Run a JavaScript' action for the Mouse Up trigger. Then add a new JavaScript action for the Mouse Up trigger and enter the following two lines of code in the editor:
getAnnot(0, "adhocFormState").destroy();
addScript("FormsWorkflowScript", "//");
Then close the dialog, select the Hand tool, and click the button. This will effectively get rid of the document-level JavaScript and the hidden text annotation. You can now delete the button by selecting it with the Select Object tool again, and hit the Delete key, or right-click > Delete
That should do it.

That will be the name of your disc in the property inspector for DVDSP. Click on the disc background/icon in the graphical or outline view, and change the title in the property inspector.
When you go to build/format, make sure the settings in all three tabs are as you want them.

Does DVD Studio Pro 4 Work In Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3 ?

I have an older version of "DVD Studio Pro 4" which I have never installed, an would be curious to know if it will run on OSX 10.8.3 (Mountain LIon)? I have a new 2013 iMac that I am loading up with software, and would like to consider loading the "DVD Studio Pro 4".
I'd also be interested in knowing of any DVD Studio Pro 4 updates (if any) and where to get them, including the 4.0.2 update ... as, unfortunately the Apple site has dropped update support for this program.
Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Russ:
Well, evidently "DVD Studio Pro 4" won't install on an Intel iMac.
Attached (below) is a "screen grab" of the unexpected pop-up window I was first presented with, when I tried to use the DVD Studio Pro 4 Installer .mpkg.
DVD Studio Pro 4
Minimum Hardware Requirements
• A Macintosh computer with a 733 megahertz (MHz) or faster
   PowerPC G4 or G5 processor (G5 required for HD authoring
   and playback)
• 8 megabytes (MB) of video memory (32 MB recommended)
• 512 MB of RAM (1 GB required for HD)
• AGP Quartz Extreme graphics card
DVD Studio Pro 4
Minimum Software Requirements
• Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
• QuickTime 7.0 or later
Nuts! I really wanted to install and use this application.
PS: Just curious Russ .... how are you able to run "DVD Studio Pro 4" on your MBP with 10.7? Is the MBP Intel? Can you tell me the "version" of "DVD Studio Pro 4" that you have installed?
Was there an Intel version made of "DVD Studio Pro 4" that I don't know about?

Export markers from Final Cut Pro X to DVD Studio Pro

Hello,
After finding out how to create chapters via markers in Final Cut Pro we wonder how to export these markers to DVD Studio Pro without having to create ourselves a .txt file and writing the names and the times of the markers in it to export it to DVD Studio Pro. Isn't there a way to make this happen automatically?
Unfortunately the new version of Final Cut Pro doesn't have an export to Quick Time Player and this is why this kind of solution falls out and we really need to create the markers first in Final Cut Pro and not directly in DVD Studio.
Is there a solution?
Thank you.

At present, you cannot add chapter markers in FCP X.
If you send the project to Compressor, you can add chapter markers there, or you can add them in DVD SP.
You can add the chapter markers in Compressor or DVD SP manually, or if you create a text file listing the exact timecode positions (from FCP X storyline) where you want the chapter markers to be (each on a new line) Compressor (or DVD SP) will automatically insert the markers when you point it to the text file.

Cant Open DVD Studio Pro

Ok so whenh I open the application it tries to open a previous project and it says it cant locate a file and wont open. How do you go about reseting DVD studio pro so it wont open a previous project right when you open it without having to have to project open, since it wont open. make sence?

Mine always opens an untitled project unless you double click a project file to open the application.
What version of DVDSP are you using?
Try deleting the preference file located in <home>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist

Provide Feedback for the DVD Studio Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here

The Apple documentation team for professional video applications would like to know what you think about the DVD Studio Pro 4 Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
• How often do you use the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
• How do you find what you're looking for in DVD Studio Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like most about DVD Studio Pro Help?
• What is missing?
• Are there any particular examples of other manuals or documentation that you consider to be good models for future editions of the DVD Studio Pro User Manual and onscreen help?
• By what method do you usually learn a new application? For example: provided tutorials and manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training classes?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in DVD Studio Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation?
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you think we should explore?
• What size computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch, 17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
• What resolution is the computer display set to when you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
• Do you use multiple computer displays?

• How often do you use the DVD Studio Pro Help
documentation? Under what circumstances do you use it
most?
I'm working with DVSP for 4 months, so everytime I don't know how to do something I use the documentation. As the times passes I almost don't need it so often.
• How do you find what you're looking for in DVD
Studio Pro Help? For example: table of contents,
index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
PDF Search, but I think is not the best way to search because it shows too much useless results.
• What do you like most about DVD Studio Pro Help?
It is powerful and easy to use.
• What is missing?
A way of editing the DVD Project Source Code. Let me explain: in some big projects I just need to change the Jump from "button_1" to "button_2", and to do that I need to find the button under my menus and choose it from a list. If I can just type "2" instead of "1" it will be faster and error-free.
Advancing in this idea, if I can open the entire link list as a Source Code in TextEdit, I can see all the buttons and link all of them without seeking for each on menus.
Today the Connections Tab helps a lot, but I still need to find the button un the menus. With 5 or 4 menus is easy, but sometimes I have 50...
• Are there any particular examples of other manuals
or documentation that you consider to be good models
for future editions of the DVD Studio Pro User Manual
and onscreen help?
The OSX help is great!
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided tutorials and
manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training
classes?
Manuals, third-party tutorials and discussions foruns.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in DVD Studio Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation?
Using scripts. It could be better with a lot of examples. "To do that, try this one".
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
In electronic is easy to find things.
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you
think we should explore?
• What size computer display do you typically use to
view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch,
17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
I use AppleCinema 20
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
1650x1050
• Do you use multiple computer displays?
No.

Sending a template design in motion to DVD studio pro

Hi there,
Ok i have been working with Final Cut Pro for years and have never had to do this so im not too sure on how.
I have a awesome motion project that i created into a DVD menu. However how would i move it to DVD studio pro in order to place all my buttons down

Couple of things, first you need to make sure you assign navigation for the buttons, which is why the remote control on the DVD Player did not work, yet you can mouse over in the computer [Assign Navigation|http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07.php] and [a thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9134310&#9134310]
As to overlays, buttons will not appear (the highlights) until the loop point of the menu, but if ellements are in the background (video) then they will appear. If you do not want those items (in the background) to appear to the loop point you need to fade it in or otherwise do whatever effect you want in the background video.

Subtitles using dvd studio pro

Hellos everyone, i was wondering if anyone could tell me how can i add subtitles on dvd studio pro? how can i add the option subtitles or to add the subtitles to a dvd? is there like a tutorial on how to do this?

hi this is really easy to do in DVD SP.
first create a menu card for subtitle. in that have buttons like
ON, OFF, PLAY, MENU. as per your requirements
and you need to do small scripting works for ON & OFF
ON button scripting.
add new script from the tab.and in the script editor add the following script
set system streamst(subtitle stream1)(on)
jump(subtitle menu- play button)
jump can be as your choice. this script will activate the subtitle
OFF button scripting.
add new script from the tab.and in the script editor add the following script
set system streamst(subtitle stream1)(off)
jump(subtitle menu- play button)
this script will deactivate the subtitle stream.
make sure you assign the scripts to the desired buttons

How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?

I had somebody create a DVD for me using DVD Studio Pro. (This was a compilation of many different videos.) It turned out great.
I now want to make a DVD of one of those videos on my own using iDVD '08.
I have the raw video/audio files. But, my problem is the raw files that were used for the DVD Studio Pro project are separated into one video file and one audio file. I don't know how I can get them both into iDVD. I was told that I have to recombine these two files into one file. But, how do I do this and still maintain the best quality?
(I am not a video expert by any means, but I can tell you that the video file is a ".mpeg" and the audio file is an ".ac3". When looking at the .mpeg file in the finder it lists its Kind as "MPEG Movie" and when looking at the .ac3 file in the finder it lists its Kind as "Unix Executable File".)
(I'm using iDVD 7.0.1 - I do have Quicktime Pro - I do not have the Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback component - I do not have DVD Studio Pro)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Q: How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?
A: You don't, essentially.
DVDSP is apple's top end app and it is intended to be used with FCP > Compressor > DVDSP. All of these are pro apps.
i-Apps are consumer apps all of which are QT based. With that in mind ....
now that doesn't mean you can't use FCP > iDvd. You can. But you have to do it in a way that iDvd will read all the files (meaning you must think in terms of QuickTime and export in this way). So when you export your QT File / Movie from FCP over to iDvd, it will look something like this hopefully regardless of the raw image & audio files you have already compiled which unfortunately will NOT work with i-Apps BUT will work with apple's pro apps which is the intended workflow / direction of said files in the first place.
Btw ... if your QT movie has chapter markers then please use the following settings so iDvd can read these markers. (if on the other hand you were looking to export this file to DVDSP; then you would choose DVDSP Markers.
Let me know if the above helps. If not, just come on back.
