Please Help!!!! DVD Markers

Ok Hopefully someone can answer a question for me, I have burned a dual layer disc before and it worked fine but now that I am trying to do another i get an error message that read like this "Formatting was not successful. A suitable marker could not be found in the required layer break range. See the DVD Studio Pro User's Manual for more information." What am I doing wrong because it plays fine in the simulator but it won't burn and this is for my business so please I need some help. My e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks,
Warren

The break is fairly easy to get a hang of
On the layer break some threads below - basically there needs to be a marker somewhere so that is around 1/2 way give or take Take a look at the PDF pages 576-586 for some of the details.

Please help, DVD not playing in Mac that burnt t

I recently bought an iMac Core duo 17in. I finished my first project in iDVD and everything looked fine when I previewed in iDVD (I used slideshows exported from iPhoto as movies). Then I burnt it to a Fujifilm DVD+R. The process went smoothly and when finished the Mac ejected the finished DVD. Now the weird thing is that when I loaded the DVD to watch it in the same Mac, the computer was unable to read it and just ejected it w/o opening any application. Furthermore, my ONKYO DVD player did not recognize the disc at all. Any suggestions? Can it be related to the Region Codes and NTSC/PAL setting? But the Mac should be able to always read the DVD...It burnt it! Very frustrating...
Sorry for long message. Thanks for any help...

You should not be using +R format DVDs. They will not play in most standard DVD players, although computers seem to be more forgiveable...
The recommended brand on this forum is Verbatim -R ( and not rewriteable either!)
I use TDK -R and they work fine.

Please help DVD! QUALITY!

I am editing a video to go onto dvd through iDVD '05 and i need help. I am trying to get the video into the best quality, since I am not shooting HD. It is going to be projected so I need best quality possible. anyone know the best export settings it is set in 720x480

Hi
My unsorted thoughts.
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 8 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on:
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS: They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD08
Pro Quality (only in iDVD08)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD08
2. Project info: Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD08.
Region codes:
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes:
1 = US
2 = EU

Please help dvd/cd-rom drive won't work

When I start computer the dvd/cd-rom drive is seen and works under my computer (listed under other) but after an couple of minutes the drive has an red x and is listed as cd drive. There are times when it doesn't show up period. When I go under device manager I see and yellow exclamation mark. I cannot roll back (icon doesnt allow) and when I try to update it says that this version is the most update version. I have never personally tried to update this driver since I bought the computer it seems as if overnight there is a problem.
When I go to device manager and go to properties the message that appears is: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)
I have a lenovo G575
AMD E-350 processor 1.60 GHz,
RAM 3.00 g.b.,
Windows 7 64bit operating system.
I have tried to use the troubleshooting tool but it doesn't work.
Could someone give me step by step instructions on how to fix my computer.
Thankyou in advance.

When you go to device manager for the device right click the drive and click Uninstall,AFTER and only after you do that download the correct driver from Lenovo's website and then install it. It is generally best to totally uninstall old drivers before attempting updating to a new/different one as it can create issues like this. Let me know if this worked for you.

HP 4540s will not activate windows 8 from HP recovery dvds, please help

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my HP from the harddrive to a new ssd I bought. As far as I know windows 8 is supposed to activate based on the code burned into the machines bios, so I bought some hp recovery dvds online as HP recovery manager no longer seems to ship with these machines, so I couldn't make one, and reinstalled windows 8 onto the machine. After install and connecting to the internet the activation failed, it said the key was blocked. This can't be, this machine came with windows 8 preinstalled, so it must have a valid key and license I've already paid for.
I've tried burning reinstall media using the microsoft media creation tool but that too fails once it connects to the internet to validate the activation
I would prefer to fresh reinstall, I'm not even sure the drive I took out works anymore or isn't altered at this point, plus its larger than my ssd so cloning would be a problem. And I've also read of problems cloning windows 8 secure boot installs regardless. In any case I would like to some how be able to get this recovery to work.
Can someone from HP please help me.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know anything about that app.
I did go to their Web site and I see they have a support link. Perhaps you can get help there or in their forum.
If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.
Good luck.

Hello, my name is Tyesha Woods I onw a Macbook and my dvd hard drive will not ejected my cd ,I have tryed everthing I could would you please help me?

Hi Tyesha,
Your DVD won't eject?
Restart the MacBook - as it is restarting, hold the trackpad button down. This will force it to eject. The disk should eject before you get to the login screen or desktop.

Hello selinahillier, Many times when this happens the DVD laser has become faulty. I have removed the DVD drive, and the DVD drive case, and used a soft cloth and some cleaning solution to clean the DVD Laser and managed to get the DVD working again.
Since DVD drives are as inexpensive as they are now, it might be best to just purchase a new one.
These can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD now.
Here is a link to NewEgg where these drives can be found.
Just some thoughts.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

Well, I bought a CD/DVD cleaner kit, and nothing happened--it didn't even recognize that the cleaner disc was in there and it didn't do anything.
I checked for an optical drive update, but the only one I found was for older Macs for 4X DVDs, which had nothing to do with CDs. Since even music discs won't mount, nor will discs that mount on every other Mac in the house, Macs both older and newer than my G5 and discs both older and newer, I suspect my drive is toast. Dang.

I do not know about Disk Warrior but if you have a compatible OSX on an external HDD you certainly can boot the MBP. Use startup manager:

DVD studio pro will not burn menus PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
I have created a project, a DVD with menus and subtitles in 2 languages, yet when I burn the DVD (both using build/format option and build format options separately)the resulting DVD has no main menu, actually it has no menus at all! it goes straight into the DVD film where I can change subtitles language only from the remote buttons. The project compiles successfully but once formatting it gives me two hilghlighted errors in the log (which I gather are the layouts/menus)HERE IS THE LOG (highlighted part is error message):

I have burned another project with menus succesfully..

Hi
FIRST check that your Play Movie button in your menu has NOT an Auto Action selected that make it plays automatically your movie when the Menu loads. You'll find that setting in the Advanced tab of Inspector. If not . . .
You can try a workaround, no matter that if you have your Menu as First Play it must work. Try yhis:
- Create a simple black JPG file i.e. in Photoshop
- Create a Slideshow
- Add a the JPG to the slideshow, set duration 2 secs
- Set the Slideshow as First Play
- Set Slideshow End Jump to your Main Menu
Build and burn again.

DVD burner wont burn...keep getting error's. please help me

So here's the situation, ever since i downloaded Audio Highjack Pro i've not been able to burn dvd's or cd's...it starts to burn and gets to about 2.3% or somewhere around there and it gives me this error....
"Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022)"
This is the model of my dvd burner "HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA" i dont know if that helps
I bought the computer just over a year ago and havent had any problems until this.
Does anyone know how to fix my problem??
Please help me. I'm a Productions manager for an extreme sports Tv show up here in Lake tahoe and i need my Dvd burner to work so i can use it in my daily work. thanks alot
Harrison

if you want to use the same font but different size/color etc, just create a different textformat instance or you could re-use the one you already defined:
var font3:Font=new Font3();
var dtFormat:TexFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText2:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat.size=15;
dtText2.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
dtText2.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat;
dtText2.embedFonts=true;
var dtfFormat3:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
var dtText3:TextField=new TextField();
dtFormat3.font=font3.fontName;
dtFormat3.size=22;
dtFormat3.color=0xaa0000;
dtText3.autoSize=whatever
dtfText3.defaultTextFormat=dtFormat3;
dtText3.embedFonts=true;
it only gets tricky when you want bold or italic or bold and italic fonts embedded. those are different fonts and those need to be embedded seperately.

Putting 2 vob files onto 1 DVD -Please help

I borrowed a handicam that burns to mini DVD, as mine broke. Usually I import files as DV on the mac from my camera and cut them together there.
With this camera, I have two halves of a recital that I want to put onto 1 DVD. I saved the DOB files from each mini disc ont my Mac and I figured I would just put them both into iDVD or edit with iMovie and burn onto 1 DVD, but I cannot import or use DOB files with them. I also have Final Cut Express, but again - no DOB files. iMovie won't take them.
I tried converting the files with VLC or MPEG Stream on a PC but the audio and video don't sync.
All I want to do is put both VOB files on a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
Please help me! I am extremely frustrated and under a deadline...

Make your sequences, export out as DV AVI files, bring them into Encore and author as usual.
