Please allow D-L mastering to DVD

It would be great if we could master a dual layer DVD for replication directly to 2 DVD's in addition to DLT. The cost of DLT is ridiculous for those of us that don't develop dvd's full time (occasionally needed).
The DVD replicators we use allow submission by DVD.

John.
You need either GEAR Pro Mastering Edition, or else DVD After Edit.
GPME is for Windows machines, DVDAE is for Macintosh.
DLT costs are actually not that high - DLT Type III or Type III XT is the cheapest type , and will be acceptable to all replication companies.
(AKA DLT2000) you can pick up the drives for around £200 - £300, and tapes are around £30 each. All far cheaper in the USA right now though.
DLT is still the safest way to get data to replication because of the serious error correction used.
DDP-DVD or CMF-DVD is the next best (but as with all written media based on dyes, it is stupidly easy to get a bad burn)
Playable discs are the worst possible way to go.
This would be a great enhancement for Encore - and as Blu Ray right now cannot be replicated due to the lack of a DDP module, I suspect it is on the way. It will increase the cost noticeably though - the licenses required are far from cheap.

  • Apple please allow the user to edit the genres

    You know after apple revamped iTunes 12, and I think that they did a great job,, I started to think about the  genres.  I really wish that I had control over what genres appeared in my list because the overwhelming majority go unused and I'd like to have only the ones that are pertinent to me in my list.  So apple if you are reading this please allow the end user to choose which genres appear in their list and allow them to delete the rest.

    See this article.

  • Feature Request - Please allow for a "classic" view option.

    Please allow for a "classic" view option like you have in Mail.  Miss the sidebar that had a list of all the calendars using.  The pop up list is not nearly as functional.  iCal in Lion may be great for touch screen users but is a step back on the intuitive scale for Mac users.
    Also, the delete / revert button are too close to the done button.  Too easy to hit on accident.

    This is a good feature request and should be submitted here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    The team reviews all the requests that come in through that form. It is a guaranteed way to get your request seen while we do not always see everything that gets posted to the forums.

  • Steve Jobs, Please allow us MORE than 24 hours to watch!

    Steve, please allow us to watch rented moves for MORE than 24 hours! Most video rentals are good for at least 2 day, if not 3, to return rented movies.

    24 Hours is too short. Here's why:
    I have two young kids, 3 and 4. We like to watch movies but rarely can site through an entire movie in one sitting. It's typically a two nighter. For example, we downloaded Ice Age Monday night, watched the first half, came back Tuesday evening to finish but no more Ice Age -"all gone Daddy?"
    Now most folks probably watch all at once, but I bet there's a sizable number of family folks or people who just like to space things out a bit who would be much better satisfied with at least a 48 hour watch window. Watch your non-complete rate, if it's high, I doubt it's because all movies suddenly suck, but rather 24 hours is really 12 hours for most folks who require sleep.
    So Apple, break the mold again! Don't let the Studio Lawyers win this one -Blockbuster for god's sake gives you two days on hot rentals -and sometimes two weeks for catalog titles!
    We need 48 hours.

  • Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

    Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

    I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
    You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
    DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
    There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
    http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
    You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
    Some things to consider…
    DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
    Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
    You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
    It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
    Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
    I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
    You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
    See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
    http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
    Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
    I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

  • Problems mastering to dvd and missing codecs

    I am having problems mastering to dvd with the mpeg 2 dvd option and also missing codecs,anyone can help me? new to cs5 so probably something I am doing wrong when going to export then selecting option mpeg2 dvd and select drive for output,it burns and then wont play back even though its burned okay...using tons dvds and wasting them,and getting rather frustrated...no idea how to use encore yet as in menus and stuff as used the old version of elements and 1.5 before upgrading ...so help me please

    Assuming that you have the full-paid version, and not the trial, look to see if Transfer Activation is grayed out?
    Try Importing a simple MP3 Audio file.
    It sounds like you have experienced the "revert to trial" of the full-paid version, so that you now have zero MPEG-2 support.
    The steps to correct this are:
    1.) Deactivate (probably grayed out)
    2.) Uninstall
    3.) Run Adobe Clean Script CS5 several times, rebooting between each run.
    4.) Install CS5
    5.) Instantly update, before launching
    6.) Activate
    7.) Launch and test.
    Good luck,

  • HT201210 Why iphone 3g has no support for ios 5 + ..please allow us to download..

    Why iphone 3g has no support for ios 5 + ..please allow us to download..
    Please do anyhow. .anything ...you are the creater of apple.. I know you can do it. .please do anything that iphone 3g will support ios 5 ro greater than that..

    The 3G was discontinued over 2yrs ago.
    The 3GS was only discontinued about a month ago.
    Apple made the decision that the 3G would not get anything newer than 4.2.1 because of reasons only they know.
    Griping about it is pointless.
    Speculating about why is against the terms of use of these forums.
    The device is ancient... either accept that it will never get an update and live with it or buy something newer.

  • APPLE please allow us 1 Calendar Restore

    So...tonight I merged my wife's iCloud and MobileMe accounts.  When I merged the data with her PC, it merged the calendars (as suppose to).  However, I did not know it removed ALL of her data off her Outlook calendar and created the NEW "calendar" calendar in Outlook.  So when I logged in to her iCloud account and saw 2 calendars, I deleted one of them. You guessed it, it was the main calendar with ALL her data.  the only way I can get this is with Apple doing a server restore that I know of.
    I am begging APPLE to please allow us 1 do over...now I know what not to do.
    HELP!

    Apple isn't here. This is a user to user forum.
    So no matter how much you beg you are never going to get their attention here.

  • Apple, please allow downgrade to iOS7 for iPad 2 users. iOS8 is vera slow!

    Apple, please allow downgrade to iOS7 for iPad 2 users. iOS8 is vera slow!

    I had the same problem with my iPad 2 after upgrading to ios8.  I went to Apple Store to ask and confirmed that it is a very common problem to ipad2 owners.  I asked the techician why didn't we get a "warning" from Apple, and he said Apply was not responsible and simply not in their agenda for that.  I was very disappointed as I thought essentially Apple wanted to push older iPad owners to buy the ne, because my iPad 2 is basically a piece of crap after the upgrade.  I understand, our machines get old and not powerful enough to take newer updates.  But what is unreasonable and unacceptable is the fact that Apple did not provide any guidance on this before owners decided to upgrade iOS or not. 

  • Move masters to DVD?

    Hi
    I am new to Aperture, but I have used a competitors product for quite some time. Here's my question; can you move your master files to a DVD or CD and have Aperture know where they are? The program I am familiar with will store a thumbnail of your image on your hard drive and allow you to move the masters to a DVD or CD, saving hard drive space. When you select an image the program asks for the specific disk that contains the image master. Does Aperture offer that kind of functionality? I have been experimenting with the Vaults and export functions without much success. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't reccommend it. There are some gotchas:
    http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/workflow/workdvd/index.html
    However I do recommend burning projects to DVD if you are intent in using DVDs. Better still, just keep buying hard drives. They are very cheap per GB, are fast to access, and will work for many years to come.

  • Can sum 1 please tell me how to convert DVDs to iPad very very simply and free...?

    Please help

    If you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is as Jim suggested one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
    Regards.

  • Extreme no longer allows any wireless device (laptops, dvd, tv, printer, game concole, etc..) to connect to wireless network.

    My Airport Extreme no longer will allow any wireless devices to connect to the internet.  I have tried resetting and unplugging the device and the modem without any success.  I only have internet access through a wired desktop connection.  The desktop is running on windows 7 and 2 laptops are running on Windows 8. (This had been working for the past 8 or 9 months. The problem started last week.).  I had my cable company reset the modem on their side and still no luck.  Does anyone know how I can fix this issue.  The Extreme has dropped the connection to the printer, dvd players, game consoles, ipads and iphones.

    Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    The setting for Connection Sharing should read Share a public IP address
    If you change the setting, click Update at the lower right to save the new setting
    Wait a minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart, then power off both the modem and AirPort Extreme
    Wait at least 15 minutes
    Power up the modem first and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it runa few minutes
    Check the network
