  • Incompatible Format question

    Thanks in advance for any help. My problem is that I have a .mov file that I'm trying to put into DVD studio pro and I keep getting the "incompatible format" message. I don't know why though.
    Here's how I made the .mov file though. (By the way, this for work in case you are wondering). I took a DVD of my boss speaking and ripped it and then exported it using MPEG Streamclip to a .mp4 file. I took that into FCP and added some graphics at the beginning and end from Motion (exported to .mov files though) and some sounds and then exported all of it to a .mov file. The odd thing though was that these exported super fast compared to how long it usually takes (which I'm thinking is the problem). I have two video and both are around an hour each, and both get the same message. But when exporting them, they took less than 15 minutes to export, where as I usually have to wait longer for videos that length. Below are the format stats of the 2 .mov files. MIght help. Again, thanks for any help.

    Any luck using QuickTime Player to convert your files into DV-NTSC media?
    To spell it out, with your h.264 file open in QT, do a *File > Export* and select +QT Movie+ (in case that's not already pre-select) from the Export drop-down. Hit the Options button, then the Settings button under Video area to use DV-NTSC as the Compression Type. You'll also probably be best off adjusting the Size to *NTSC 720x480 4:3* as well.
    This is just to speed you along your way. If you were to start from scratch, I'd listen to Russ - use Demux in MPEG Streamclip to produce a DV-NTSC file from the get-go.

  • Incompatible format (0x30, 0x05)

    Hey everyone. I'm really at a loss here. I'm using FCP 4.5 and compressor 1.2.1 for my video files. I've tried several encoding codecs, iDVD, DVDSP and even a basic drag and drop - using the finder - to burn DVDs and I get the same error message EVERYTIME: incompatible format (0x30, 0x05)
    I've tried sony, memorex and fujifilm dvd-r's, all compatible w/ 1x to 16x drives. My drive is a
    SONY DVD RW DW-U21A:
    Manufacturer: SONY
    Model: SONY DVD RW DW-U21A
    Revision: AADB
    Serial Number:
    Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
    Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
    Removable Media: Yes
    Detachable Drive: No
    Protocol: ATAPI
    Unit Number: 0
    Socket Type: Internal
    I've got plenty of thru-put, drive space and updated firmware. I've tried lowering the write speed (all the way down to 2x), lowering the data rate, using mpeg-1, mpeg-2, DV NTSC, NOTHING WORKS!!! There has to be something I'm missing. The fact that I get the same error code using all 3 burning methods (DVDSP, iDVD, finder) makes me think the problem is either in the configurations of FCP or compressor , or it's a hardware issue. I have projects that I need to get on disc ASAP and am completely stumped. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

    Tried building to the drive - drag and drop quick burn right? No dice. My burner handles cds no problem. But it doesn't work in the finder, in DVDSP or iDVD. A buddy told me there's a hardware refresher button on the logic board. I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'm taking it into the mac store.
    Has anyone ever heard of a burner that can burn cds and not dvds (as a glitch, please no sarcasm guys) ? Mine is SUPPOSED to be set up to do both. Thanks

  • File import to DVD Studio Pro-incompatible format

    hallo,
    i made from an final cut studio project with DVCPRO HD 720 50p material via compressor an new compressed file with ".mov" suffix.
    the attitude in compressor was:
    H.264 10,3 Mbits/s for HD DVD
    the film is about 20 minutes
    also after repeated tries it dosn't work.
    i get the announcement:
    "incompatible format" when i try the import
    what to do?
    thank you for answering

    Are you trying to make an SD DVD or an HD DVD (which only play on Macs, and the now obsolete HD DVD players)?
    If you are trying to make an SD DVD, then you are using the wrong format. Export out of FCP using the DVCPRO codec. Bring that into Compressor and make a MPEG-2 for your video and a AC3 for your audio. Bring those files into DVD SP.

  • "Incompatible format" when importing H.264 NTSC .mov file

    DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3. G5. OS X 10.4.11.
    Created a new SD DVD project, NTSC. Tried to import a .mov file: H.264, AAC movie file: H.264 Decoder, 320 x 240, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 32.000 kHz. FPS: 15.
    Message: "Incompatible format". Exported to PCM audio, no dice. Exported to DV/DVCPRO and PCM audio, imported OK. Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Bob

    DVDSP only accepts a fairly narrow range of file types when it comes to importing.
    For video, that means files that are in editing codecs (like DV/DVCPro), if you want DVDSP's internal encoder to process them. Otherwise, if you want to encode elsewhere, you must present it with either an MPEG-2 file (usually preferable) or an MPEG-1 file. Since your source file is smaller-than-the-norm frame size, MPEG-1 would have worked for you. Though DVDSP, only accepts 23.98 or 29.97 frame rates in NTSC land. (of course, for PAL projects, 25 fps is cool)
    In terms of audio, .aiff or .ac3 are acceptable.

  • Incompatible format error message

    I am trying to burn a a HDV 720p30 QT file in DVD Studio Pro. I keep getting an "incompatible format" error message when I try to import the file into DVD Studio Pro. I have the current versions of the software.
    HELP!!!

    How are you attempting to burn this HD DVD. If you are attempting burn an SD DVD, you should create SD QT or prefereably mpeg 2 for this type of DVD.

  • .m2v incompatible format? It is an elementary stream.

    This file will not import into DVD SP4
    Stream: tester.m2v
    Path: ~/Desktop/Part2/tester.m2v
    Type: MPEG elementary stream
    Duration: 0:07:34
    Data Size: 891.71 MB
    Bit Rate: 16.46 Mbps
    Video Tracks:
    224 MPEG-2, 1920 × 1080, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 8.00 Mbps, lower field first
    Audio Tracks:
    Stream Files:
    1080p.m2v (858.86 MB)
    So, I have HD-DVD selected and I have the correct resolution and letter box.
    Am I missing anything

    I'm still stuck with this issue. It seems like some .m2v files when imported as assetes into dvd studio pro are either:
    1. Incompatible formats
    2. DVDSP wants to re-encode them (which I do not want)
    I have tried other .m2v files that when imported into DVDSP import just fine, without re-enoding.
    Can someone give me link or an explanation why some import just fine, and others don't, and also why some want to be re-encoded?
    Thanks

  • Compressor Incompatible Formats for DVD Studio Pro???

    I'm at my wits end...I have exported DV/NTSC QuickTime movies from Final Cut Pro and then drug them into Compressor, where I have applied the "fastet" DVD encodes for SD video of 90, 120, & 150 minutes in Compressor (all Apple presets that I have not modified). The files come out, but when I try to drag them into DVD Studio Pro, it tells me that the video files are of an incompatible format. What am I doing wrong here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    If you did not touch the presets, the first thing I would look for is whether you set the project to PAL and were trying to bring NTSC streams in or vice versa. ( If you had changed anything, such as the Codecs or typew of MPEG-2, then it could be something else.) Any details on the computer or veersion of Compressor and DVD SP?
    Is this an upgrade over a prior install?

  • Using iMove HD to capture in Mpeg-4 format

    I have iMovie HD 5.0.2 and was wondering if there is anyway for me to capture video that is saved directly in Mpeg-4 format instead of as a DV clip. I noticed that when you start a new project in iMovie HD, you can select between the ff video formats: DV, HD, Mpeg-4 and iSight. So I assumed that if I select Mpeg-4, than it would capture my video footage from my DV cam (a sonypc350) as Mpeg-4. But it doesn't. It still caputers it as a DV clip. So is there anyway that I can capture in Mpeg-4 format using iMovie HD. My DV cam has analog to digital pass through and I'm trying to figure out a way to create a make-shift TiVo kinda system with the tools I have available.

    ...a way to capture directly into compressed Mpeg-4 format because DV clips take up a lot of hard drive space. ...
    Nope.
    iM's internal file format/compressor is dv, any other will/has to be converted...
    besides:
    mp4 is a lossy codec - you will never get the pic quality as dv...-
    video editing is a disk drive consuming process - no workaround.
    sorry to say that (owner of ~0,7TB of HD… )

  • Can't open project - incompatible format???

    I just did a project on DVD studio pro, and ultimately made a disk image of my final DVD (standard procedure for me.) Anyway, I opened up the disk image and was checking it out on the DVD player (on my Mac) and realized I forgot to set one of the buttons. Not a huge deal, I can just go back to the project, set it, and redo the image, right? Yeah, not the case. When I try to open the project an error comes up telling me that the project cannot be opened, that it’s an incompatible formate???? I just had the project open 5 minutes ago, and now it wont’ open??? Any ideas? It shows it loading the project up, and this happens as the end of initializing the assets.
    I could understand if there was something with one of the assets it didn’t like, but that should have been a problem when I tried to import the asset from the start. I got all the way to a finished disk.

    Have you recently reinstalled FCE and forgotten to update it?

  • Dts and ac3 - incompatible format

    I have been given some pre-encoded dts and ac3 (5.1) files that were encoded on a windows audio encoding system. DVDSP gives me the "incompatible format" message and cannot import them. I suspect the data itself is fine, and there is problem with the file headers on the windows-created files.
    Anyone know of a way I can force the files to be readable to DVDSP from my mac, or any tips I can give the person doing the encoding on making the files compatible with DVDSP?
    the extension on the dts files is .dtshd
    I am able to open the ac3's with VLC, but not with any apple programs.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    One of the reasons for non-importing AC-3 file could be wrong parameters. Have you specified your requirements for AC-3 files (bit-rate, metadata, etc). Can you see the file parameters in VLC?
    DTS files used to come in two flavors, before HD-DVD and Blu-Ray were invented: padded dts file (.dts) and compact dts file (.cpt). The new HD formats pushed the envelope pretty high, and extension such as dtshd could signify exactly that: DTS-HD file which is not compatible with SD DVD specs.
    DVD SP can import only compact dts files with .cpt extension, and it is very finicky about parameters.
    For example earlier version of Minnetonka's DTS DVD encoder, copies of which can be found on the web, have a bug that prevents DVD SP from importing the files produced by it.
    You should contact the audio house and ask them about procedures and parameters used to create the problematic files

  • Incompatible format all the sudden

    I am getting "incompatible format" all the sudden when trying to import into Studio Pro. I have tried many different compressions using compressor 3 but I getting the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Probably you are trying to import HD assets in SD projects or vice versa.
    Hope that helps !

  • Export AVI video trunked and "incompatible format" comes back with DSP

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to export a my digital video created with iMovie in AVI format, but the final video is trunked after 7 min. At the same time I tried to generate the .mov file and import it into DVD Studio Pro 4, but an "Incompatible format" comes me back. Help me!
    Thanx a lot.

    One thing to try is deleting preferences.

    Keep getting this message "the recording device reported the not ready error. Cannot write medium - incompatible format (0x30, 0x05)

    If you more details on the project, the burner you are using, how you are writing the project, the DVD-R (is that what it is?), the set up of your computer (says PowerMac 7.3? and which OS of 10.4) it can help narrow it down
