Problem to playback 16/9on DVD Player...original export HD to SD 16/9

Hi,
I need some serious help on that one ( need to complete the project for this Friday..)
Basically I created an edit on FCP on a timeline with the following settings:
-aspect ratio:HDTV 720p (16/9). As it has been shot with a JVC camera(GY-HD111)on a HDV 720p format..
-Pixel aspect ratio: Square ( no anamorphic)
-field dominance:none
-Quictime video settings, compressor:HDV 720p25
then I exported to sequence trough compressor for DVD Studio Pro, under the following settings:
-DVD best quality 90 mn (the duration of the sequence is 10mn)
(making sure the Mpeg 2 format includes a PAL-25 fames-16/9 settings..)
Then, after creating my menu on DVD Studio Pro, again making sure that the following settings were selected:
-Display mode of the menu:16/9 Pan Scan and Letter-box
-Display mode of the attached tracks:16/9 pan scan and letterbox..
I then did a build/format to burn the DVD.
Now the problem that is happening is that for some reason (and i tried on different DVD Players and screens)The DVD players Play the DVD on a 16/9 screen as a 4/3..so it means that when I set upthe screen on a 16/9 format the picture become stretched and on a 4/3 it appears normal but of course the borders are cropped...Now when I build and burn the same project with 16/9 letterbox(only)settings it works fine but the idea is to be able to watch the video as a 16/9 full screen..I really don't understand what is happening..tried many options still not working..Would anyone be abble to help me with this ? (in the settings of build/format there is a tick for lossless linking in destination...would it be related?) I am quite lost on the all thing especially I need to burn the DVD for tomorrow..Please help me!!

First off, yes, 16:9 Letterbox is the Display Ratio you want to use in DVDSP. Unless you actually do want the edges cropped off (and common request for menus, at least). In that case, select 16:9 Pan-Scan. The 16:9 Pan-Scan & Letterbox choice in DVDSP is not what you'd normally want to use, because it depends on the TV Shape setting on your DVD Player.
Speaking of the TV Shape setting (sometimes labeled as Aspect Ratio) on your DVD Player, make sure the players that are connected to your 16:9 sets are correctly set to 16:9 or Widescreen (manufacturers use different naming conventions).

    How do I create an iDVD slide show that does not compress the photos making them low-res? When I insert the iDVD I have made into a DVD player connected to an HDTV, the playback quality of the pictures are very low.  Is there a way to correct this when creatinf the iDVD?

  • Can disc utility copy an R+ dvd disc for playback on a dvd player on TV

    I have a dvd (R+) that plays on my TV okay via a Sony DVD Player. When I try to copy it with the Finder to another R+ DVD the copy plays back okay on my iMac but not on the TV (using File Info on the copy the format is Mac OSX Extended). Can Disc Utility make an exact copy that won't have this problem?

    Thanks, I was able to regenerate & verify that the DVD copy from the Master worked okay with my Sony DVD Player & TV. By using Disc Utility to generate the disc image &then the actual DVD copy I got the UDF format (which I guess stands for Universal Data Format). It is strange that the Finder's DVD copy process does not do the same, it always gives you the Mac OSX Extended format which doesn't work on a TV.

  • Hp notebook problem model # dv9823cl the cd/dvd player is not found in bios or device manager

    If the CD/DVD player is not found in either the BIOS or Device manager is the problem in the motherboard?
    if it is besides getting an external CD/DVD player, is there any other solutions?
    Thanks

    Before giving up hope I would try hard resetting the computer. Here is how you can hard reset the laptop:
    To Perform A Hard Reset
    Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)
    Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
    Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
    Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
    Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.
    Sometimes by removing all electricity from the computer and then reintroducing it, issues like this can be resolved. Give this a try and let me know if it resolves the issue or not.
    Thanks!

  • How do I prevent snags when buring my DVD with a soundtrack for playback on a DVD player?  It only plays clearly on the computer itself.

    I totally get how to create a DVD with a great soundtrack on my computer.  I put the whole thing together and when I play it back in preview, it plays beautifully.  However, when I select "burn" and burn it do a disk and then go to play it on my DVD player hooked up to my TV, there are rough spots---times when the sound goes out and then comes back on, etc.  
    Someone wrote me and said to choose "save to disk" first and then use disk utility or Toast to burn it at a slow speed.  I tried doing this and when I selected "burn to disk" it only came up as an audio file and a separate video file, so I was lost at that point. 
    Any ideas of why this discrepancy might be happening?  I'd appreciate any of your thoughts!
    Thanks!
    Rick

    okay, I can help you a little bit. your dvd player (standalone) plays mpeg-2, I think, so
    in order for a disk to work in it, both the audio and video have to be combined into a whole package, which i think is video_ts.Using Toast, choose video, then dvd-video then drag n' drop, and it may work. As far as  i know, disk utility cannot make video dvd's, but  I may be wrong, and you may be right. I used iDVD, but there are probably other programs that may do as good a job of burning. Oh, and this is most important: Some blanks will work ok, and others won't. Verbatim, maxell ( I think) and Taiyo Yuden will work fine. the other ones are a gamble. I think what it's supposed to do is called muxing. I'm sure someone will correct me on this. You could try using "Burn" which is relatively cheap or Handbrake and see if that will do what you want to do. not that it's super important, but the amount of Ram in your machine is helpful too
    anyways, good luck

  • Disk Image problem with iDVD 08 and DVD player

    I have just been reading The Missing Manual for iMovie & iDVD 08. It describes how to create a disk image on your hard disk using iDVD. I have followed the instructions and created a dmg file but I am unable to get DVD player to open it.
    According to the book, after opening up the image, when I go to File, Open, in DVD player I should get an option to "open Video_TS folder", but all I get is "open DVD media", which means it is looking for an actual, physical DVD. Clicking on this sends me to the finder. When I find the image it is greyed out.
    Does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Mount or double click disk image and then
    launch Apple's DVD player app
    Remember that this is a virtual disk which doesn't spin in the computer. It's simply on the desktop. So you'll need to launch Apple's DVD Player app manually. Just click the Dock icon (or dbl-click the app in the Applications folder) and you'll see your DVD play.
    hope this helps but if not just come on back .....

  • IDVD slideshow won't pause on playback on DVD player. Why?

    Why can't I pause an iDVD slideshow on playback?
    I make iDVD slideshows and after burning the disk, it will not pause when I push the pause button during playback on a DVD player.

    I have a brand new iMac
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx"
    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

  • UDMA problem with DVD player

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my new MSI DVD player(model MS-8216M) :it will not work in UDMA mode 2 as it is supposed to in any normal, acceptable configuration. When I connect it as a secondary master or slave it works at multiword2 or PIO and will not go higher. It will only work in UDMA mode 2 if I connect it through my harddrive (but drops back down to PIO after a while)or when it is a Primary slave and my HDD is a Secondary Master (but also goes back to PIO after a while).
    Here's what I have already tried:
    Removing the secondary IDE channel in device manager, reboot and let windows auto-detect. Bought a new IDE cable. Re-installed windows twice since i bought it (Not upgrade).Tried various Master/Slave and IDE combinations (and always changed jumpers correctly).
    Could someone please shed some light on this annoying
    problem? I exchanged this drive twice already so I don't think that the MSI is at fault. Is it my motherboard? Please help.
    Thank you
    Nyah

  • Need to get an external DVD player for Imac, which one?

    Hey (again),
    I've had a terrible time getting my imac up and running properly since I got it back from its HD replacement yesterday.
    It's gotten to the point where I'm going to wipe the system and then do a time machine reinstall.
    My problem is that my imacs dvd player doesn't play DVD's anymore, it just spits out the install DVD. Could I use any cheap external DVD (usb) drive and wipe and install my OS from there or does it need to be in the internal one? I found a couple of really cheap ones that I'm wondering would do the trick or does it need to be a specific brand?
    Or do I need to have my imac which is out of warranty serviced and have the original dvd player replaced?
    Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

    In my experience just about any external DVD drive works. I've found them way cheaper at a big technology store like "Fry's".

  • Burned DVD won't play on DVD player

    I have downloaded a 22 minute video that I would like to burn to a DVD to play in my DVD player.  I have attempted on both DVD-R and DVD+R.  They burn to the disc but will not play on the DVD player.  The error message states that playback may not be available on this disk.  I have used the windows support search to problem solve on my own but have had no success.  I have ensured that I am selecting the CD/DVD player option to utilize the Mastered format.  I have gone into my option and have no filters on.  I have the video format on NTSC since I am from Pennsylvania/US.  I have not tried to burn it on slow or medium speed because it does burn to the DVD without problem it just won't playback on the DVD player.  What do you recommend as my next course of action for troubleshooting.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I would suspect that the video is not DVD Mpeg2 compliant.  Depending on the DVD player, some will play other formats, also.  If there are no video authoring programs on the computer, try Windows Movie Maker (free) to see if the video needs too be converted to DVD Mpeg2 standards.

  • Working with Aspect Ratio to DVD - 800x600 projector vs. 720x480 DVD player

    Hi there and thanks for reading. I don't post on this community often, so if there is better place for this question please point me there.
    First a little about my project: I'm a student of fine arts and my current work involves the use of a projector and 2d and 3d objects. Projection mapping, or video mapping has been a budding art form for quite some time, but I do not use any of the current software applications that would be best for the medium. My current process begins by setting up a physical 2d or 3d composition in my studio space and projecting my PC desktop onto the scene with a common classroom style projector. I begin "mapping" objects in my studio with Illustrator, and then import my project to After Effects in order to animate my composition. If I set my project resolution to something that doesn't match my projector resolution and go to full screen, my software composition will not match my physical composition. After my project is complete and I'm ready to show visitors, I'll export a video and set it to loop.
    For some time now I've been trying to work out a set of best practices so that my projects are clear and precise. Even the slightest bump and everything in the video mapping falls apart. Since my projector shoots a native 3:4 aspect ratio, and has a resolution of 800x600px, I set my Illustrator document size to the same. When I work in After Effects, I set my composition to the same res. and I make sure my settings are accurate when I go to export a video (typically h.264 format since I'm used to using my computer for playback).
    My current problem involves exporting my project for playback on a DVD player. As far as I know, the best format for DVD playback is mpeg2-DVD. This format demands that I convert to 720x480px - which is not in accordance with my projector. Can this problem be solved with After Effects composition or export settings?
    Any ideas, tips, or links that might be of help are greatly appreciated!

    It depends entirely on what the projector does with the signal it receives.  Most projectors will simply scale an incoming standard def signal to fill the entire frame.  In which case, I'd simply author your project in 4:3 standard def (720x480), make sure the resulting DVD is 4:3 formatted, and that should do it.

  • DVD player doesn't play some DVDs

    I've had my macbookpro for several months now. I've been mostly satisfied, but the DVD player seems to be messed up. I have never had a problem with software or CDs, but every once in a while, the DVD player will not play movies. Most of the time, these are Netflix movies which, understandably for shared discs, sometimes have blemishes. However, these same discs have no problems playing on my cheap dvd player hooked up to the tv. I've taken it into the mac store, but they told me nothing is wrong. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to upgrade or change the dvd player? Thanks.

    First, welcome to the discussions.
    This issue is not a suprise because of the Optical drives and the Fimware that Apple uses in there computers.
    Apple has much higher standards for there Optical Drives, and therefore they are very very picky about the Media that they will accept and burn and read.
    My quess is that the Movies you are getting are either scratched or smudged and they will either eject from your Mac or will render you an error message.
    On some occasions there will be a problem with Optical Drives. If you can read and write with New Good Media, and you are able to use the DVD Player with New Commercial DVD Movies then this tells me it is the Netflix DVD's are of poor quality.

  • DVD Player in Leopard

    Hiya guys I am a recent switcher and just got a mac with Leopard - I wondered if you could help me out.
    When playing DVDs the quality is good - however if I put the computer to sleep whilst a movie is paused when I wake up my mac the movie resumes and after a while the video stutters replaying a second over and over again although the audio continues.
    I have tried closing DVD player and restarting it as well as ejecting the disc (it happens to all of them by the way) and re-inserting it and trying it again.
    The only way I have found of solving it is to restart the mac - this obviously isn't ideal.
    Any other suggestions?

    Curious I have no problems with the using of DVD player per se. However, if it tries to sleep when a DVD is playing (never did that under Tiger) then upon pressing key/moving mouse all is ok accept that the dock is missing and the only way I can get it back is to restart the machine. Anyone any ideas please?

  • Burned dvd won't play on my dvd player.

    Help! I downloaded FREE DVD creator from the APP store. Followed directions on how to burn DVD. Imported video from iMovie ( vacation video ), burned it onto DVD and the playback on my DVD player is very jittery, stutters, and sometimes freezes. The video format was m4v. and the other format was .mov. Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss something? Very frustrating spending all that time editing the video only to have it not play on my DVD player. Do I need to get iDVD or a 3rd party app? Please help.

    Hi
    Best place to ask is in iDVD forum - but still -
    There are lot's of factors determine the resulting DVD quality
    Stutter and jittery etc use to be due to
    • material is in different frames per second (PAL vs NTSC)
    I start with finding out in what format the DVD is supposed to be
    PAL (25fps) = EU
    NTSC (29.97fps) = US
    Most DVD-players in EU can handle both - Few in US can do so
    • .m4v or .mov etc are no Video-Codecs but containers - Open the movie file in QuickTime-Player and then open Inspector [cmd+I] to find out Video format and frame-rate
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to get all my material into same standard then Import it into iDVD (set to same standard).
    By letting iMovie or iDVD do this conversion usually results in STUTTERING and JITTERY results. JES_Deinterlacer does this so much better - AND IT'S FREE !
    • Using Cheap DVD brands as Memorex, NoNames etc - usually don't work at all (for VIDEO-DVDs - Data-DVD usually works but they do not play in any DVD-player)
    I only use Verbatim
    • DVD type used matters - DVD+/-RW usually doesn't work or gives a disastrous result. DVD+R plays on more modern DVD-players - BUT DVD-R plays on older ones too.
    I use DVD-R
    • BURN SPEED - Full speed usually results in DVDs that doesn't play or only on a few devices.
    I always set this down to x2 or x4
    So You see there are multiple reasons why this can go wrong.
    Yours Bengt W
