how about the HD DVD Burning .. should i buy HD DVD Burner or the mac pro DVD Writer will solve this problem? and it will burn HD DVD SL-15GB and DL-30GB ?
You cannot burn a 15 or 30 Gig DVD from DVD SP and it is not supported by DVD SP. You can build those to a hard drive for replication
also what is the basic steps to creat the HD project in HD DVD not the DVD 5 and compatible with the toshiba player?
Best Regard.
You can make a HD DVD on the DVD 5 which will play with the Toshiba and it will give HD quality (and will not play on an SD player) video results, though you cannot author the extras that HD has (the new features in HD as compared to SD DVD), pretty much menus and playback of video. The steps above will create the DVD 5. Have not tried writing to a DVD 9 size for more running time

What external DVD writer would work with Toshiba LX830?

Trying to connect an external DVD writer to Toshiba LX830 via USB.
Nothing will work - tried 3 writers and different software.
Does it matter that all the writers are USB 2.0 and the 830 is USB 3.0?
The best I've got is to 3%, then it just sits there.
Can anyone recommend an external writer that WILL work with the 830?

Hi
Did you try to connect this external CD/DVD drive to all available USB ports?
As far as I know the Toshiba LX830 All in one computer supports 6 USB ports and two of these USB ports support ultra-fast USB 3.0 standard.
So even if the external USB ODD (optical disk drive) would not support USB 3.0, it should work in connection with the other 4 USB 2.0 ports

Have they replaced DVD Studio Pro? I can't find it in the Apple Store.

My new computer needs FCP and DVD Studio Pro.

Hi
And there are at least three working - but in a way very simple options from Apple still
• FinalCut Pro X - can make simple Video-DVDs
• Compressor™ - also for (as I get it - simple but very good .mpg2 codes - few menu's)
• Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
But that's all from Apple today
iDVD and DVD Studio Pro - was so much better !
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
• Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Extremely slow DVD Studio Pro

Hi
I'm new in this forum. I recently upgraded my Final Cut Studio to version 2, and have installed all the latest updates. When using DVD Studio Pro from Final Cut Studio Pro, everything worked out fine, but after upgrading to FCS 2, my DVD Studio Pro (4.2) is extremely slow, when I want to move to another point in the movie by clicking in the timeline. I have to wait 20-30 seconds every time I choose a new location.
My configuration:
G5 PowerMac with dual 2.0 GHz processors, 5.5 GB Ram, oceans of harddiskspace, ATI Radeon 9600 AGP graphics adapter and a 23" Apple Cinema screen.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Boards
Couple of things to try
1.) Repair permissions
2.) Delete Preferences
3.) Delete MPEG/PAR files
4.) Encode assets outside of DVD SP if you are bringing .mov into the project
If you are still getting delays one thing you may want to do is set up a clean partition (perhaps on the second hard drive in the G5) and just install FCP 2 Studio from scratch, it seems that a clean install as oppossed to overwriting on a prior install is the best approach and has been recommended to clear up glitches/gremlins and the proper way to do the install to the new Studio
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have the system disk run only the system and have other elements on another drive it helps performance.
When you say you have oceans of hard drive space, how much is left? Usually when drives get to about 75%-80% full there can be perfromance slow downs.

Questions about Using Lightroom and Print Studio Pro

I want to use Print Studio pro via the lightroom plugin since as I understand it, that is the only way to ensure a 16-bit file is being passed to the printer (on Windows). However, I am a little confused about how the image is being rendered. Is lightroom applying a default output sharpening to the file before handing it off to Print Studio Pro or Does Print Studio Pro manage resolution and Output sharpening based on the media and print size you choose?
So basically I am wondering if there is any output sharpening being applied, and when is it applied. The possibilities I think would be:
Lightroom is applying a default output sharpening when rendering the file to TIF for Print Studio Pro (If this is the case, what setting is being applied and is it possible to change it?)
Print Studio Pro is applying output sharpening based on media type and print size, or applying a generiz amount of sharpening that does not take into account media or size.
No Sharpening is being applied. In this case, I should probably be exporting this file manually with output sharpening applied and then opening in Print Studio Pro
The other question I have is if when using the plugin is the TIF file that is being generated in 16-bit pro-photo to ensure the maximum amount of color data?
Because if Print Studio Pro is not applying sharpening I think it may just be better to print through the lightroom tool even though it renders down to 8-bit because the amount of control I have via the lightroom print module would be far more advantageous than any color data I am losing by printing in 8-bit.
Anyone know the answer to all this?

I had similar questions when I first got my Pro-100.
1. You can call up PSP from any module, so I assume it is ignoring print module settings.
2. If I select a Saved Print, which adjusts the print module settings specific to that print, and the open PSP the paper settings in PSP are not what is in LR, supporting the "ignore" conclusion.
3. I ran some test prints using LR to print at three different output sharpening settings (Off, Standard, High) to ensure I could see a difference (I did).
4. I ran four test prints: LR-Standard, XPS driver, LR-Standard regular driver, PSP using standard driver and PSP using XPS driver. I couldn't see any difference between the four prints.
Since LR is such an easy printing process I haven't seen a reason to use PSP.

Any Mac alternatives to DVD Studio PRO 4

Are there any Mac alternatives to DVD Studio PRO 4.
Well, besides iDVD. It seems like many are switching to Windows to author DVDs and Blu-ray's. I'd rather not do that. Any suggestions?

The only Mac alternative at that level is Adobe Encore. It is no longer being developed but continues to be supported, To get it you need to subscribe to the Premiere Creative Cloud product. Encore is a separate download.

Can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display?

can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display? and can i use seagate external hard disk on mac book pro with retina display?

You should have no problem using the external optical drive. As for the external HD, you'll need to format it properly, depending on whether you want to use it with a Windows machine as well as your MacBook Pro.

Dvd studio pro 4 won't write disc? it just says there was an error during encoding over and over again...

It just says that there was an error encoding over and over again. It is version 4.2.2 It said the software required a dvd- which i used... I've tried just backing up the video to a disc not using studio pro but my computer won't do it? Any suggestions?

David's right. Do the encode in compressor and bring the resulting m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) into dvdsp. Then do an advanced burn: build in dvdsp and test the build using the mac dvdplayer to play the video_ts folder you've created. Just go to file: Open DVD Media and point to the build folder or the video_ts folder within it. If this works, your dvd burner is probably the problem. You can buy an external burner for not a lot of money. Apple sells one, and you can even get cheaper ones than that.

Button creation Adobe Encore vs. DVD studio pro (mac only)

I'm sitting here, trying to figure out what to do if you want to create a neat button with transparency quickly.
I remember my time at school where we used DVD Studio pro to create our DVD menues based on photoshop images.
Right now, I am trying to create a menu of that kind but guess what? I can't do it as easyly as it can be made with the other program NOT
designed by Adobe. But, what a shame, I have no mac to use DVD Studio pro -.-
Why isn't it possible to SELECT LAYERS of an image created with a program of the SAME COMPANY to represent the different status on
a DVD menu? It would be soooooo much easier. But no!
"Solid colors only
Elements on these layers must use solid colors and sharp edges. Use one solid color per layer. Do not use gradients, feathering, or anti-aliasing on the subpicture layers. Color gradations are not possible in subpictures." (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/EncoreDVD/4.0/WS2CF5669B-310A-4fa7-A52F-7D01AB25A846.html#WS AC753DA7-21EF-464a-9FC0-8D873658D760)
It's not possible??? Why??? I could create a picture in Photoshop and, later, it would be on your TV just as you saw it already while creating it.
All the annoying prefixes would be needless, too!
Instead I get some ugly colour changes, I have just one colour for a layer (ridiculous!!!) or the writing even disappears for a reason I can't understand...
Encore is a very mighty program, but the button creation is a very nasty work. Like apple showed, There is a way that guarantees a very more easy way.
Please revise this function!
Am I underskilled? Am I wrong? Please comment
sincerely
Elke Kolke

Actually, Button creation is easy in PS, and one can even populate a Menu with Library Buttons in Encore, and then edit them to suit in PS. This latter method saves having to do the Button Layer Set and Layer naming by hand.
"Solid colors only
Elements on these layers must use solid colors and sharp edges. Use one solid color per layer. Do not use gradients, feathering, or anti-aliasing on the subpicture layers. Color gradations are not possible in subpictures." (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/EncoreDVD/4.0/WS2CF5669B-310A-4fa7-A52F- 7D01AB25A846.html#WSAC753DA7-21EF-464a-9FC0-8D873658D760)
This is a limitation of the DVD-specs. and not Encore/PS. One is bound to those DVD-specs. Sub-picture Highlights can ONLY be 2-bit color (either ON, or OFF, plus can have Transparency - think just the opposite of Opacity in PS). There are design ways to create the "illusion" that one has Sub-picture Highlights, that get past the DVD-specs., but those are only illusions. One is still bound to the DVD-specs. This ARTICLE might offer some tips on creating the illusion.
All the annoying prefixes would be needless, too!
Those "annoying prefixes" tell the DVD player how to handle the Buttons. Without those, the player has no clue that you have a Button, and will only display a static graphic.
Jeff Bellune has a great book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. Though it was written for an earlier version, 100% of that book still applies, because the DVD-specs. have not changed. He steps one through building custom Buttons in PS for use on a DVD. He also shares a ton of tricks to create illusions within the DVD-specs.
Good luck,
Hunt

8 core Mac Pro vs DVD Studio Pro 3

Bought a used copy of DVD Studio Pro 3 and installed it on my 8 core Mac Pro (Leopard). Downloaded and installed all available updates, but the program "unexpectedly" quits every time I try to use it. I use the same version at work on a G5 and love it. I don't want or need the entire Final Cut Studio, but 3 just won't run on my Mac Pro. Any theories as to why? My wife thinks that the software is just too old (2004) to run on a nice shiny Mac Pro.

Per usual, your wife is correct!

Multiple Burn on Mac Pro/DVD Studio Pro

I have been searching the internet and this forum. I have added a second optical drive to my Mac Pro. It is a Pioneer DVR-1810. Am I able to burn to DVD's at once in DVD STUDIO PRO?

No, you cannot burn more than one at a time within DVDSP.
But you can burn two at a time with Disk Utility. To do this, change the burner name in the DVDSP format dialog to "hard disk". It will then allow you to burn to a disk image on the hard drive. Then open up that disk image in Disk Utility. When you click Burn in Disk Utility, there is a popup menu in the dialog for which burner to use. After starting the first burn you can start a 2nd one and choose the 2nd burner in the popup list.
This works well for single layer DVDs. I haven't tried it with DL DVDs so I don't know what will happen with the dual layer break point.

DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 Writting Error

OK, So I'm trying to create a Dual Layer SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1
I've done this a hundred times, and never had a problem
Now suddenly it gets 20% through the writing process and locks up. No errors are reported and nothing happens. It just sits there at 20%... forever.
I have three .m2v files and three .ac3 files going on this disk.
Simple templated menus from DVD Studio Pro
And one 15 second DV/DVCPRO-NTSC .mov file.
I've tried rebooting twice and the process keeps repeating.
I have to deliver this project by 4PM EST today.
Obviously I'm sweating trying to figure out what the problem is here so I can deliver this project, but at the same time, I'm trying to figure out if this is an issue that will keep happening in the future?
I also just upgraded to 10.6 this morning... I'm trying to burn this same DVD right now on an older machine running 10.5. We'll see what happens with that one...

The fun continues...
The DVD Drive on my 10.6 machine seems to no longer be working...
Maybe this caused/contributed to/resulted in the earlier problem?
Anyone else experiencing similar issues? All hard drives and firewire drives seem to be functioning normally at this time.
My 10.5 machine appears to be eating through the DVD writing process successfully... slowly, but successfully

Mac Pro DVD writer don't work CD writer does

Any way to troubleshoot a "Windows encountered a problem when trying to copy to this folder. What do you want Windows to do" error when I try and drag and drop files to my DVD/CD readwriter?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I wuld try a different brand. It's possible that you simply got a bad batch of DVD+Rs. My suggestion would be to try Verbatim DVD+Rs and if they fail, call ApleCare to see if you can get a replacement DVD drive.

DVD Studio Pro 4 Burning cd-rom, not dvd for playback on TV

Hi there.
I completed an HD project in FCP 7, compressed in "Compressor" and now want to burn a DVD in HD in DVD Studio Pro 4.
I went into "Preferences" and made what I believe are all of the necessary changes to make this happen.
However, when it burns, it won't burn a DVD for playback in a DVD player. In fact, one of my DVD players identifies it as a CD-ROm, and sure enough, it plays in the computer, but not in a DVD player.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

HD DVD is a dead format, abandoned by its developers a few years ago after losing out to Blu-ray.
However, HD DVDs will play on later model Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) models of HD DVD players that were made by Toshiba.
Normal, set-top DVD players and Windows DVD player programs have never been able to play HD DVDs. They only play DVDs, which are standard definition only. Some DVD players will upscale the output of a DVD (again, standard definition) to HD dimensions for playback on HDTVs. Some actually do a pretty good job ... some don't. But the fact remains that the source being played can only be standard definition.
So, if you want to make a disc that will contain HD content, you'll need to make a Blu-ray disc. If you want to make a DVD that will play in DVD players, you'll need to make a DVD, which again, can only be standard definition.
