NEED HELP - how do i lower the burn rate to 1x in DVD Studio Pro 4
Ok, i made a (2) master copies of a DVD-R (Verbatim) in Studio Pro 4 and sent it to a duplicator and I got a call saying there was unreadable data on the discs.
He then asked me to lower the burn rate to 1x. I can't figure out how to do that. Where do I do that? Please help. Have a deadline!!!
Thanks.
Dave
You cannot change the burning speed in DVDSP. It will always use the max speed available. To control the burning speed you need to create a disc image of your project and burn it with Disk Utility or Toast.
Read this tutorial about * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP *.
Hope that helps !

How can I burn an iMovie project in DVD Studio Pro?
I created a DVD in iMovie for a friend, then burned the disc with iDVD. When I play it on my home DVD player it looks and sounds fine - but when he plays it on his DVD player, it looks fine but the audio is poor and echoes a lot. I looked at his setup, and he has DTS (digital theater sound), and from my primitive research, I found out the iDVD does not support DTS. I do however own DVD Studio Pro 3 which supposedly does support DTS - however I have never used this program and need some help figuring it out.
Is it possible to take the project that I created in iMovie and burn it in DVD Studio Pro so that it would be compatible with a DTS setup? I would need very specific steps to doing this because I have never used DVD Studio Pro before.and he has DTS (digital theater sound), and from my primitive research, I found out the iDVD does not support DTS. I do however own DVD Studio Pro 3 which supposedly does support DTS
iDVD creates DVDs with uncompressed audio (PCM). DVDSP (FCStudio) has no DTS conversion capabilites, just Dolby Digital (AC3).
I think that your friend DTS system must play stereo PCM too; you could check in its documentation.
What I do know is that DVDs with uncompressed audio (we are talking about computer created and burned ones in particular) can be difficult to play fine in some players because the high bitrate.
I'm not an iMovie expert but as far I remember you can export your movie from there as high quality video (you must get a QuickTime movie with same settings that your footage) and convert it to MPEG2 video and AC3 audio using Compressor, and finally importing those assets to DVDSP.
I hope this help ! -
The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers
Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
Thanks,"Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
• Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
• Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."

How do I lower the burn speed?
Using strictly the apple Disc utility, how do I control the burn speed?
I just went through this this week as I'm new to iDVD. When you're in Disk Utility and go to burn it, there is a drop down next to the drive that the disk is in. I think it lists the drive, I'm not in front of my Mac now. Click on that, and you will then see the option to change the drive speed.
I just did this for the first time last night and am finally getting clean DVD burns. Before I just let iDVD do the whole thing from render to burn and the playback kept hanging up on the DVD player. Going at 1x's seems to have corrected it for me. -
I have been told that best results are attained when DVDs are burned at a slow rate, such as 4X. I have no idea of the rate of my burns, and I 'm wondering how I can set the rate at 4X. Is the burn rate manipulated thru DVD Studio Pro, or is it simply determined by the balnk media you insert? For example: does an 8X disc automatically burn at 8X, and a 4X disc automatically burn at 4X?
Thanks, BobThe burn rate cannot be higher than what the drive is rated for, or the speed the disc is rated for, whichever is lower. So if you have a 2x burner (most likely considering the age of your computer), then that is the maximum speed you can burn at regardless of the speed of the disc media (which could be 16x).
Toast is software. So you would not use it "instead of" your Pioneer burner. You would use it with your Pioneer burner. -
How can I cut off part of a movie in DVD Studio Pro created in Quicktime?
I created a project in iMovie, then exported it to a Quicktime file to import into DVD Studio Pro. Now that I have imported it to DVD Studio Pro, it is too big to burn onto 1 disc. I would like to be able to chop off a few minutes of the movie in DVD Studio Pro, but Im not sure how to do it. I am assuming there is some way to chop off part of a movie in the Track editor - can anyone please help with this?
ThanksYes, you can trim a track, but it is a rudimentary control, and not frame accurate.
I think Hal has oversimplified: the process is frame accurate - it is just that your choice of edit points is limited to 'I frames' only. 'I frames' occur about every 12 frames, or 1/2 second, for a typical PAL mpeg2 video track, and every 15 frames, or 1/2 second, for a typical NTSC mpeg2 video track. -
Error burning to LaCie drive from DVD Studio Pro 3...
Whenever I attempt to burn a DVD to my LaCie d2 DVD+-R drive, using DVD Studio Pro 3, I get an 'error #6' and the burn is unsuccessful. At the 'formatting' stage the process hangs up after a couple of minutes and returns an error message with the following text:
"The recording device reported error #6: Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred. (0x29, 0x00.)"
Has anyone else experienced this? I have used both DVD+R and DVD-R discs. I have used the device on two different G4s--a 733MHz, and a dual-1.25GHz. I have worked with the source files on the hard drive, as well as on an external drive. The size of the project is nowhere near capacity for a DVD.
But the result is always the same: Burn aborted, 'error #6.' I'm at my wit's end. Thanks for any suggestions or insight...hey terry
you say you are directly burning from DVDSP to your lacie drive, correct? is it an internal drive? did you recently replace your drive?
if it is, go to "about your mac" on finder and click on "more information".
look at your ATA and or "burner" (something to that effect) and make sure that is "vendor supported" because if it is not, iTunes, DVDSP and iDVD will have problems burning media directly from those apps.
the easiest way to fix this is with "patchburn". it will make your drive compatible or "supported" by able and you will have NO problems buring.
question: do you have another burning program (such as toast)? do you have problems burning from the finder? -
I can't get the audio compressed small enough for DVD Studio Pro
It's only 89 or 96MB.It always ends up 1GB in DVDSP 4. I have Compressor 2 on a Mac G5 The video for 1.5 hours is a desirable size and quality but even when I make the audio file small, when I bring it into DVD Studio Pro it comes out 1GB or more. Is there any way to change the way DVD sees this asset? I am working on a Mac G5 Dual Proces. from 2003 / 8GB memory
Look to see if you still have A.Pack installed on your computer; it should be in the Applications folder on your boot drive. That's what was used for AC3 encoding prior to Compressor 3. In the meantime, you could lower the bit rate of the video in order to use the AIF audio file on your DVD.

I just installed DVD Studio Pro 2 in a Power Book G4 Lap but I cant see subtitle text typing after doble click a new subtitle. I see the text that I am typing in the Inspector Window but the grew square in the Monitor Window seemes empty. Once I finished the subtitle I can run the video and the subtitle appears in color, font and size chosen. Creating the next subtitle I can even go to the one before click once over the subtitle, then click above to get the videoline tool over the subtitle and I will see the subtitle in the Monitor and editing the text in the Inspector I can see the changes in the Monitor. But as soon as I doble click the grew square appears and the text dissapears. Sin doubt the text is there because I can select the invisible text with "Apple"+"A", and then change fonts and sizes and it works. In Color settings I tried every posible combination of Mapping types, color and opacity. In DVD Preference I checked the subtitle settings. The monitor text defaults work perfectly and double clicking texts in the Monitor window where a grew sqaure appears and the text is visible just works correctly. Somebody can help? Do I need to change some configuration in the LAP?

• 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?

• 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

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

How can I change the frame rate mode?
Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video has a constant frame rate...
Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"
