Ripped DVD in QT, plays fine in Quick View

I have QT pro and ripped one of my DVDs using handbrake to watch on the plane on my Macbook. When viewed in QT, it is choppy and the audio gets ahead of the choppy video. However, when I view it in Quick View, it plays PERFECTLY! Anyone else experience this or have any ideas.
FYI - I used the default "normal" procedure in Handbrake.
Thanks...

It could be a problem with your dvd blanks.  You might try a different brand.
If you've got fcp, you've got dvdstudiopro and compressor which will probably do a better job. 
Neither of them requires an advanced graduate degree. 
What format is your original material and what are your sequence settings?
Here's what I'd do
Export a selfcontained qt (file: export: quicktime movie (not quicktime conversion) with current settings.
Bring this file into compressor and apply the DVD best quality 90 minutes presets.  The only customization I would recommend is the dolby digital profession 2 preset change the preprocessor to none in the encoding tab.
This will produce 2 files, an m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) file.
Open DVDSP and drag the 2 files to a track and make the track first play.  And then do a file:  burn.
Any questions, read the manual, check the online documentation or post back.

  • We have a bunch of our movies on a hard drive and they play fine with Quick Time, but when we try to copy them to itunes, itunes quits and stops working. does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    we need them in itunes so we can play them via Apple TV unless there is a way to play them through Apple TV without putting them all in itunes, but i don't think there is.

  • Inability of dvd disc to play on other computers

    After burning a disc using premiere elements 2.0 it will not play in other computers.
    It will play on stand alone dvd players with a tv. but not on computers
    Why?? Am I missing something in the process?

    Jim,
    I see that you found the PE forum.
    As I mentioned in the PrP forum, it is likely that the computers do not have DVD software players. If they do, then it might be that Autorun is off on the multi-drives. I have mine turned off on my workstation. If there IS a DVD software player available, you might need to navigate with it, to the multi-drive. Cyberlink's PowerDVD needs this for me. If I pop in a DVD, nothing happens. I open PowerDVD and point it to the multi-drive with the DVD, and it plays fine.
    If your DVD's play on set-top players fine, you have a good DVD. You need to explore those computers to see what they have, or do not have. Many computers do not come with DVD software players installed.
    Good luck,

  • Finished DVD won't play in DVD player.....

    Hi All,
    I am new to DVD Studio Pro; I made the jump from idvd......!
    I just finished my first DVD, and it won't play in my dvd player; it plays fine on my computer with the DVD player. could it be because the dvd player is about 6 years old?
    TIA!!

    How did you burn the DVD and what media? That can aalso cause issues, Which version of DVD SP are you using and what machine?
    Take a look at this thread, discusses how some things can be off depending on what andd where you are trying to run things, goes to qutting, but also something that can cause other issues

  • How to Best Create a DVD that will play on BOTH Mac and Windows

    Hello - Looking for some direction. How can I create an iDVD DVD that will play on both Mac & Win? I can not find a solution that will accomplish this. What I did was create an .img then burned to DVD. This plays fine on my Mac & on home stereo DVD but not on a windows machine. The Windows machine can "read" the DVD fine but WIndows Media Player can not play it. Do I need to have folks use a special player on WIndows? Is there another format the I should have iDVD output? I need to send some DVDs to college coaches for my son and am trying to do this the best way without knowing what platform (Mac or WIn) they will be using. What is the best approach?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    David

    Hi
    There are two ways to burn a DVD.
    • as a Data-DVD (eg including a video.img file or any data)
    • as a Video-DVD
    A. Data DVD is what You creat by just popping in a DVD disk and OK to format it.
    B. Video-DVD - You make from within iDVD and insert thed DVD WHEN iDVD asks for it
    (OR - Via Disk Util tool - Still introduced when asked to do it !)
    (or via Roxio Toast™ - STILL not inserted until asked to do this)
    So what You've done is a Data-DVD with Your movie as an .img file on it.
    • Can only be playbacked on Your Mac
    Open "Disk Util tool"
    Then on Dasktop - Double click the .img file so that it creates a fake DVD disk
    Then in "Disk Util tool" - select it and click the Burn (Nuclear) button
    THEN insert a new DVD WHEN asked to do this.
    NOW ! ! Select a lower Burn Speed eg 4xDVD - This will result in a DVD with few burn errors and
    a PC will read it easier !
    Use of quality DVD brand is also important - I use Verbatim
    I use DVD-R
    Good Luck - Bengt W

  • DVD won't play on home DVD player

    Running Imovie 9.0.4. Exported DVD using "Export Using Quicktime." I burnt a DVD and it plays fine on my computer but not on my DVD player connected to my TV at home.
    I tried "iDVD" but it doesn't prompt me to burn a DVD or acts like it evens saves a movie. Just runs for a couple of minutes and that's it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    A. QT.mov on DeskTop to a DVD ===> a Data-DVD that can be played on any computer with QuickTime-player. No DVD-player can playback this.
    B. You need iDVD to do the Video-DVD structure. What You most certainly did was dropping the QT.mov into a Drop-zone in iDVD Menu window and this will play just for a few minutes. If dropped slightly to the side of this area it would have worked OK.
    I rather from iMovie do.
    • Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res.) - NEVER Share to iDVD as result will suffer.
    • Close iMovie and open a brand new iDVD project and from within iDVD - Media button - Movies import (drag and drop) Your movie into the Menu Window and now try not to land it onto a Drop-Zone.
    Other things that matters
    • brand of DVD - I only use Verbatim
    • Type of DVD - I use DVD-R as they play on more even older DVD-players
    • set down burn speed to x2 or x4 = works so much better.
    Yours Bengt W

  • DVD won't play on windows computer  Ever see this prob?

    A potential client of mine says he can't play the DVD authored in DVDSP.
    "I have not been able to open the DVD and run it. It requires the CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack 2.3.1-ESD.
    Is there another video program available to open the DVD?
    I have Windows XP but not this application."
    Has anyone run into this issue? The DVD I produced plays fine on stand alone DVD players, my Mac computers and the Window unit my partner in this project has.
    To me this sounds like a windows issue or this guy hasn't updated his OS, or he is trying to open the disc like a data disc and not play it like a movie DVD.
    I don't want to have probs mastering a boat load of these DVDs. These will be stamped copies so if the person has a DVD player aplication most issues like the above should go away right?
    Brad

    Brad - it's definitely down to the client to upgrade his software, nothing you can do about that one! Unless he is saying that he can usually watch DVDs using that software, but this one won't play, it sounds to me that he doesn't have any MPEG decoding hard or software installed.
    The other thing that springs to mind is that he should be able to alter the default application that WinXP uses for DVD playback. Again, this is something for him to address, not you... sounds like a case of needing to educate the client a little

  • Media in the timeline says it needs to be connected, but it plays fine.

    Hey guys,
    I'm using Final Cut 7 and today I had to disconnect my external drive that has the project I'm currently working with on it. When I reconnected the drive and opened up my project ,some of the clips in the timeline where there is usually a picture of the clip, now says the media needs to be reconnected. However, all of the media still plays fine in the viewer and the canvas. I even reconnected the media, but it still looks the same on the timeline. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if they know the solution to it.
    Thanks,
    Jack

  • Cannot burn a DVD without errors!! Plays fine in IMovie and Quicktime.

    Have been using IMovie for almost a year and really regretting getting an IMac, as I am having so many issues with it. Initially, I thought the issue was with IMovie (although when I finish a movie it plays just fine on the computer). Then I thought the issue was with the Quick Time export (although when I finish the export and play from the Quick Time file, it perfect).
    Then, I burn the DVD, using IDVD. I think this is the issue! Specifically, when I play the new DVD, the following occurs:
    1. Some (not all) music tracks are distorted or sound like there are two tracks playing over each other;
    2. Some (not all) music tracks don't play;
    3. The sound levels of the music is erratic and increases in volume significantly;
    4. The DVD (normally towards the end) starts pausing and usually takes me back to the beginning.
    I have now made a number of DVDs, some longer than others, some shorter, but all seem to have these issues.
    As stated above. The movie plays fine in the IMovie file on full screen view AND in the Quick Time viewer file. It is when the DVD is burnt that all these errors occur.
    I have tried changing the settings in IDVD. Even tried the professional quality.
    Can some one please help in a relatively non technical way? I am really ready to throw away the IMac and go back to Showtime on windows, which was far easier to use. Please help?

    Not sure how to check how much memory?
    Click on the icon for your hard drive. Then go to File>Get info; this will bring up a window that will show you what the capacity is for your hard drive as well as the amount of available space. It is this available amount that you need to check.
    The source of the music is ITunes. I think they are MP3, not sure, but they are MP3 compatible.
    It is possible that this could be the origin to your difficulty; it has been in the past. Convert the format of your music to AIFF. Here are the directions from iTunes Help:
    +_Saving a copy of a song in a new file format_+
    +You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).+
    +When converting from a compressed to uncompressed file format (for example, from MP3 to AIFF), you shouldn't notice any reduction in sound quality. However, when converting between compressed formats (for example, MP3 and AAC), you may notice a reduction in the sound quality. For the best results, if you want your music encoded in a different file format, import the music again from the original source using the new encoding format.+
    +IMPORTANT: Except for iTunes Plus songs, you can’t convert iTunes Store purchases.+
    +To convert a song's file format:+
    +Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Importing.+
    +In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and then click OK to save the settings.+
    +Select one or more songs in your library, Option-click, and choose “Convert Selection to.”+
    +The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.+
    If your music was purchased from iTunes and is not iTunes plus, post back for directions on how to change the format.
    What brand of DVD are you using and what speed are you using for the burn?
    The very knowledgeable users on this forum recommend Maxell or Verbatim. Also, be sure to burn at 4x or lower. This tends to reduce the likelihood of errors during the burn process. As an added step, close your other applications during the burn process.

  • I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggsts

    I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows.  My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over".  This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player.  Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has?  Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft?  I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
    Jim

    Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows. 
    You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu.  If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu.  The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows. 
    However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD.  It just becomes a single video/movie file.  So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
    and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

  • My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

    My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
    My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

  • IMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive  ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also play fine in Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

    iMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive  ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also plays fine on Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

    There are many reasons this could be the case but whether an optical disc can be read or not is a function of:
    The reflective media layer of the disc
    Whether the burned disc was a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
    The brand, model, and production lot of the disc
    The specific frequency of the Write lasers that burned the disc
    The specific frequency of the Read lasers that are attempting to read the disc
    Are the Read lasers in the drive working (it is common for one set of lasers in a drive to fail while others continue to work)
    How old are the Write and Read drives (laser frequencies change with age)
    Is there dust on the read laser
    Is there dust on the read lens
    etc.
    At one time it was estimated that fewer than 80% of all burned discs were readable in 90% of the drives. That has, I believe improved over time but at the same time it seems the faillure rate of lasers in the drives has increased but that may simply be the result of how many different read and write lasers there are in today's superdrives. Fortunately todays drives are a lot less expensive the replace -- now that Apple no longer installs optical drives in their computers.

  • Disc playing fine on DVD, but not MacBook Pro

    Hello - I have authored and burned discs, and they all play fine on my DVD player on my TV set, but are not playing on my MacBook Pro. I put the disc in after Disk Utility shows it's been burned successfully, and after a few 'tries', it pops out, never even mounting on the computer. Might there be a 'fix' for this? Thanks so much...

    I would start to troubleshoot by trying a commercial (rented or purchased) DVD and make sure it's not the drive itself. It would be strange for a DVD to work in a set top box but not your computer, it's usually the other way around.
    And did you really mean to post this in the Final Cut forum?
