"Not permitted" access to DVD menu once DVD starts playing --Mac DVD player

Hi,
DVD works fine on standalone DVD player, but when played on an internal Mac DVD player, it won't allow me to stop the disc and go to the menu once it has started playing. It says "Not Permitted." I've tried a couple different macs.
I made my video in FCP5 with chapters and exported as MPEG2 via compressor to DSP 3.0.2. I need the chapters to work correctly on a Mac DVD player as it is an instructional video which will accompany all the Mac Media Carts that have been purchased for our school district -- it has to play correctly on the included laptops.
Anyone have any ideas?

When you press STOP in the DVD Player, the DVD stops, no longer running. That's the reason that when you try to press MENU appears the Not Permited message: no way to go to the menu because the DVD is not playing.
That's the normal behaviour of the DVD Player. I think that's the way that thinks works in every DVD player . . . "I think".

  • DVD menu doesn't work right in DVD players

    I've created a DVD in Encore for Mac.  It plays fine on my Mac and on Windows.  However, once it is inserted into a stand alone DVD player, the menu doesn't work right.  I have four text menus.  In the DVD player, none of those are navigable.  Arrowing up or down doesn't work.  You have to click a number on the remote keypad and then play. This also causes "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" and so on to display.  Any ideas how I can get the arrow keys to work?  I don't have a stand alone dvd player to test against.
    Also, in Windows, I have someone that wants to duplicate the dvd.  They're using Movie Maker.  It gives an error that the codec is not installed but doesn't say which codec.  Any ideas on that?

    The only time I recall similar problems was the issue Jeff was asking about above (Mac, Encore CS3, certain OS).  If you don't solve this otherwise, I'd experiment with that.
    You appear to have confirmed that there is button navigation.  (In button routing, each button points to another.)  Where does it break down?
    On the Mac/PC, are you using the mouse?  In the computer DVD software player, there should be a "remote" that you can use to see if the button navigation is working.  Does the computer "remote" option work?  If so, it makes it not working in a standalone player even odder.
    If not, then look at whether the project works before you burn to disk.  Does the "remote" work in the Encore preview?  Or build to a folder, then play the DVD from the folder.  (I don't know how on Mac; on PC, I find the first .ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder, and play that.)

  • DVD from iDVD won't play on DVD player

    I have made a movie in iMovie with pictures and videos from a vacation. When I was finished in iMovie, I exported the movie to iDVD.
    In iDVD I made a menu for my DVD.
    I used a Memorex DVD-R disc to burn my DVD on, but I now have a problem. The burned DVD will only play on computers (Macs and Windows), not on regular DVD players. When I try to play the DVD on a regular DVD player, the TV just displays an error message.
    Does somebody know what's wrong?

    It sounds like a burn error-rate problem. Unfortunately, iDVD doesn't directly give you the option to burn a disc at a low burn rate to greatly reduce such errors.
    What you must do is a two step process:
    Step one. 'Burn' a disk image of the completed project to your hard drive - it's an option under FILE. After the disk image is complete, double-click on the disk image icon to mount it on your Desktop and use Apple's DVD Player application to view the image to make sure it plays correctly (File>Open DVD media).
    Step two. Use Apple's Disk Utility application or Roxio's Toast Titanium to burn the disk image to writable media. Use a low burn rate - no higher than 4x, but I like to use 2x. See Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    Also, Memorex may not be the best media choice. Verbatum seems to have a good reputation and I like Maxell.

  • Encore DVD Writing Cancels won't play on DVD player issue

    So I have a very confusing issue with encore.
    When I press build everything works fine. Then writing begins. The moment the writing reaches the end of the progress bar (the exact moment)  the progress bar goes to empty and the bottom bar says canceling and ejects the DVD. Usually (not every time) a pop up menu saying "end of file" appears next. When I press ok for end of file message the pop up disappears and suddenly the DVD progress bar is filled and the DVD says completed (as if nothing just happened). So I'm confused whether it worked or not!
    I reinsert the DVD that just ejected into my Mac and it works! Then I put it into a DVD player and it won't play, it won't play on my old Xbox 360 either, but it WILL play in a Bluray player?! 
    Everytime I rewrite the files I get different results. They all work on my Mac and blu ray but only 1 of 4 works in the Xbox. The one that does work in the Xbox will read in the DVD player but plays choppy and  skips  around as if the DVD is scratched or damaged?
    ! Other differences involve the write speed, sometimes the options are 8x or 4x. Other times its 3x,2x, and 1x. When the latter write speed options occur I cannot press "test before writing" it's greyed out. When 8x and 4x are the speed options I can check it.  I used different DVDs and it didn't help.
    I work for a company that needs to copy the DVDs but they can't be copied. Don't know why? 
    Here are my settings
    Mpeg 2-DVD exported from Pr.

    I really need help with this weird issue quickly thanks.

    Just an Update, I've tried many things to no avail still have a few others to try. Being a Large file it takes a while to try things.
    I went ahead and got Toast, but considering that the Image Iso and the DVD Folder both gave me the End of File Error and the Disc "Failed Completed" Error I figured it a no go and it was. It did however give me something that Opened everywhere (Mac,Xbox,Dvd) , but it did not play on the Dvd correctly.
    I've done numerous things in the Mac permissions end Like trying as a different user and running as the Root User, but it was also unsuccessful.
    I've Re- Exported the file many different ways, but finally had a breakthrough using a version of M2v.  It's definitely an error with Finalizing. My disc previously began to mess up and give "END of File" after it finished writing, it never even made it to the "Writing Lead Out" stage. I beleive this is why it plays it certain places fine, but probably not as well in systems (like Dvd players) that require those last few steps like writing Lead Out. 
    The only issue I have now is that when I put it into the DVD player it say "No title"!?!? AY CARAMBA!!!
    Now I'm working on trying to figure this NEW problem! I have all my menus and links in place, but no go. I think it may be related to the previous problem in that something beneath the surface is wrong with my computer. Being a used Mac with a restored Hard Drive there are probably endless possibilities, but I hesitate to think that way because it may also have absolutely nothing to do with it.
    So any help is greatly appreciated
    whether it be a specific issue you know of dealing with used Macs and issue similar to mine
    or just on the "NO Title" error as a separate issue. I'm hoping this "No Title" is something simple and unrelated,  I've already burned through about 13 discs and even more pain pills for the headaches!!

  • Hiding a preview once video starts playing

    I am trying to hide a preview that I inserted with some AS3. The preview works and I use this code to create it.
    var preview:Loader = new Loader ();
    loadPreview (preview, "gotgame.png");
    addChild(movie_flv);
    function loadPreview (loader:Loader, previewFile:String) :void {
    var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest (previewFile);
    loader.load(u);
    movie_flv.addChild(loader);
    Now I am trying to hide the preview once the video starts playing. I tried the code below that I got from a tutorial but its not working and giving me this error "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: VideoEvent." Does anyone see the flaw in my code?
    movie_flv.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STAT E_ENTERED, onPlay);
    function onPlay(evt:VideoEvent):void {
    preview.visible=false;

    use:
    import flash.video.VideoEvent;

  • DVD Player has started playing PAL DVD's on external PAL display very badly

    I have my Early 2006 iMac connected to an external HDTV (Mini-DVI->HDMI)
    Using display options I can switch the external display easily between NTSC and PAL refresh rates.
    It used to be that apple's DVD player could play a PAL dvd just fine on the display but now the frame rate drifts in and out of sync as though it no longer understands that the TV is set to 50hz.
    Although I used to use DVD player all the time I haven't done so for quite some months so I don't know when this started happening although I have a feeling that it was with a recent OS X update.
    I say this because a few months ago all of a sudden the same thing happened with Elgato's EyeTV, but they issued a patch sometime later and it fixed the v-sync issue for their app.
    I'm also wondering if it may be a de-interlacing issue rather than a v-sync issue but I'm not sure, I've tried various DVD's.
    I have tried deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer but this hasn't helped.
    If it's relevant, my iMac has an ATI Radeon X1600
    Any ideas why DVD player has started having trouble with 50hz displays and how I might fix it?
    Failing that, is there a good (hopefully free) dvd player alternative which is better at handing external displays of varying display modes?
    p.s this was the most appropriate forum I could find.

    I suggest that you create 15-second silent audio slug that you can use to move the audio the same amount you have moved the video.

  • DVD from DVDSP won't play in dvd player?

    Hi.
    I shot some HDV footage on a Sony-Z1, edtied it in FCP 5.1, exported a Quicktime movie (HDV 1080i50) from FCP, took this QT file to Compressor 2.1 and made a H.264 6.75Mbps.mov. In DVDSP I have made both a HDDVD and also tried to make a new project and a DVD as a SP (the exported files used were a MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass 16:9.m2v, both 1080i (HVD res) and 1080i (std. res)). Have tried to burn all of the different DVDSP projects on DVD -R and +R's . Also tried to change the settings for Red laser and Blue laser. All of the DVD's works on various computers, but none of them works on a HD DVD player. Have tried several different dvd players.
    Does anybody know what might be the problem???
    Best regards,
    Martin Thaulow

    If you look through these forums you will notice that no one has come up with any answers for compatability PlayBack problems.
    I have looked for years and read the entire manual but still Im making great DVDs for my Macs but watch out if you give them to any one else,
    Im about to figure out how I can get the most out of DVD burning in Toast, at least I know the DVDs will play anywhere!

  • DVD menu navigation in Front Row - HOW?

    Just got my new iMac. When I start Front Row, insert a DVD and select "DVD" in Front Row, I select the menu.
    Then what? The remote still controls volume only, front and back buttons do nothing. How do navigate the DVD menu and start playing the DVD?

    Insert a DVD into your computer’s DVD drive.
    Press the Menu button on your remote to open Front Row.
    Use the Next and Previous buttons to choose DVD in the Front Row main menu, then press the Play/Pause button.
    Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate the Front Row DVD menu. You can play a DVD, turn muting on and off, display the DVD's menu, and eject the disc.
    An alert message appears if you haven't inserted a DVD into your computer's DVD drive. (The message may also appear if your computer hasn't finished reading the disc you've inserted.)
    While a movie is playing, use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to adjust the sound volume. Press the Next and Previous buttons to jump to the next or previous chapter. Press and hold Next and Previous to fast-forward and rewind. While a movie is paused, press the Next button to advance to the next frame of the movie. Press the Menu button to stop the DVD and return to the DVD menus. Press the Menu button again to go to the Front Row DVD menu.

  • Chapter Markers won't show up on Chapter Menu when trying to burn a DVD.

    Help,
    Trying to burn an SD DVD disc in FCP X from the Share menu.  I've set Orange Chapter Markers with Titles in my project from the timeline and these don't appear when I check the box to use chapter markers for Subtitles in the Destinations box to burn a DVD.  I've set a photo in the main menu and it appears with the Title of my Project, but in the Chapter Menu it only shows the default list of Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.  Shouldn't my Chapters show up on the list after they've been set up on my timeline in the project?  Also, I tried burning a disc with my Chapters not showing up on the chapter list and my disc only plays from the Main menu where the picture is inserted.  There's a slash line in the Chapter list button stating I can't use that option and I can't play chapters.  Trying to get this project out the door before January 20, 2013.  Can someone please help?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Can you post some screen shots? The chapter marker dialog box in the timeline. The DVD menu.
    What's playing back the DVD?
    Have you tried it without the background image? Build a disk image rather than burn a disc.

    You can't get there with GUID/GPT.
    There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
    You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
    Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
    You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
    Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
    You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record.
