The aspect ratio of this file is not support by DVD. Possible slideshow error?

hello everyone,
I will try to give as much information as possible. Dont scream at me if i forget anything. For starters, I just learned how to use Adobe Encore CS4. I taught my self between reading the help files and videos I found on the web. I am an amateur when it comes to DVD authoring (could have alot to do with my problem). Im an animator and I am making a DVD to show my demo reel, drawings, and i have a storyboard to final comparison video. I designed all of my menus in photoshop. I have one transition that was animated in after effects that was imported using dynamic link. My demo reel is a mov file at 640x360 widescreen, half the size of HD 720p. The comparison video is a premiere file from dynamic link (same size as the demo reel). There is some background music for the menus. Then I have 3 slideshows, and i believe this is where the error is coming from. Most of the artwork has the same dimensions but there are some that are larger or smaller. Some are jpg, but most are PSD files. The slide show is set to manual advance with music in the background. I have no transition effects on the slideshow. When building the DVD, i believe when it says "starting project" after all the importing was done,i get the error
The aspect ratio of this file is not support by DVD. PGC info: name= Figure Drawing (name of the slideshow and a menu button) ref=Fpgc, time=234.2340s
I just tried to build the DVD without the slideshow and I still get the error. Possibly a menu issue? I have no idea. Ive ran into errors before but I was able to get through the others. I just cant seem to find a solution to this error. Even after searching the forums for similar problems. Hopefully, the solution is simple. If more info is needed let me know. I really need this DVD to send out for jobs!! Thanks everyone.

When doing SlideShows, whether in Encore (somewhat limited), or in PrPro, it is always better to re-size outside of these programs, prior to Import. I use Photoshop (PS) to do this, and use an Action to get everything in the proper Mode, Color Space, Size - everything. I always do a Save_As and use .PSD files. I also Save a working version, incase I have Flattened, etc., for Import into the NLE/authoring app.
JPEG's *should* work fine too, though there is the JPEG compression to deal with. Might not be an issue, but for max quality, I start with RAW images, process to .PSD's, and then work from copies of these, to get my still Assets ready for PrPro, or En.
I either size exactly to my Project Preset, or to exactly what I need, if say I will pan across a zoomed out image. In a major Project, I may have sub-folders with 4 different sizes of image - based precisely on what I will need to do with that/those image(s). If I will not need to do any animation on any images, then I use that Project Preset (including the correct PAR) and they work perfectly. This also eliminates any unnecessary overhead on the system.
Good luck,
Hunt

"The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD" Error

Hi everyone,
I've gone to build my project, transcoded ALL of the video files used in it, and when Encore goes to create my first timeline the above error pops up.
Just for reference and to save people asking questions, I did check my project before I went to build it, and I'm using PAL 16:9 footage for all of my project. Please Help! I desperately need to have this finished!
Desperately,
Brett.

Could it be that you used a 4x3 menu template, instead of 16x9? Are you sure that all your assets are 16x9?

"Aspect Ratio of this file is not supported"

HI
While I have used Premier Pro for some time, I am only an occasional creator of DVD. Today I have had the error message above, but am unsure where to start to sort it out.
I have loaded up an HVD original (1440*1080) into PP and then, after some editing used Dynamic Link to 'Send to Encore'. This worked fine and I can see edits in PP cause the Encore footage to be updated
However, when I try to build the project, for output to a DVD folder, I get a message stating:
PGC "File name.prproj" has an error at time X
The Aspect Ratio of this file is not supported by DVD-PGC Info: name = filename, ref=Bpgc, time = X
I'm pretty sure I've done something simple and/or stupid, but can anyone point me in the right direction?
I tried to search the forums for aspect ratio, but with no luck
Many thanks

>HVD original (1440*1080)
Do you mean HDV via Firewire from a camera?
That format will not work on a DVD, which is 720x480 (US, foreign is slightly different)
Someplace along the line, you need to downsize to be legal for a DVD

Steve,
Not to sure what type AVI files they are, the storage devise is at present offshore on a job.
Can you clarify, if you edit/import video footage with adobe premiere 10 and then create a file, the file or the original raw footage is not stored on computer for re-use, if it is stored, is it stored in the original format.
Also please find details of storage devise,

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

Aspect Ratio of this File not Supported by DVD

I spent alot of time create a 1 hour + video sequence in PremierPro, but when I set it up I mistakenly picked 16:9 instead of 4:3 thinking I want the widescreen output eventually. I dynamic linked to Encore, built several DVD menu, submenus etc...then when I went to build (burn the DVD) I get the aspect ratio error. I realize I cannot change the way I set up the PremierPro set up. But is there a workaroud or some alternative so I can create the menus etc to so it is interactive in a DVD player? Is there a different way to import and encode differently so that I can burn the DVD? Or can I get a different DVD type...any help appreciated...I have about 40 hours into this video???
thank you, Brett

Stan….many thanks for the feedback….
I thought of that but since I didn’t think you could copy the assets very efficiently I didn’t consider it for too long….the sequence is over an hour and has over 100 clips, plus audio…I will play around with the copying….like Excel and other programs, can you click on the first clip and the last clip and copy all at once??
On the menu issue, I only have a couple of hours into that so it makes sense to re-do the Encore….interestingly though I created custom menu and submenu files using the “WIDE” version of the Premier corporate templates and have used those, I am assuming if it has a WIDE reference that it is 16:nine….
The crazy thing for me is that I actually created a “test” DVD directly from Premier and for the life of me can’t remember how I did it….it actually works fine in a DVD player but with no menus and chapter marks, you can’t do scene selections and jump etc…
And yes on the interactive reference I mean disk navigation…
I really appreciate the help and feedback….

Mp navigator ex driver for this device not supported when I plug in my ipod I have windows vista

Hello there K_McCreedy,
I saw your post about the scanning issues you have been having with your PS B110a and Mavericks. I have looked into this for you and I would like to offer some suggestions.
First of all, there is no downloadable full feature driver and software (scanning software included) for this model of printer and Mavericks. There are some work around options however, that I will link you to below!
Please follow these steps:
1. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
2. Repair disk permissions
3. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
(See under link #3 for the different methods of scanning options with Mavericks under the FAQ's section)
I hope I helped answer your question!
Thanks for posting in the community and have a great day

When I use lightroom to create a slideshow the aspect ratio is wrong when i burn it to DVD. What am i doing wrong?

I use Lightroom to create a slideshow and then export it to software to burn to DVD to play on a TV. When i view it on a computer the pictures are fine, when i view them on the TV the aspect ration is wrong. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Thanks

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

The matlab code in this File is not running, I need to know why?

This VI has a MATLAB code running, The output will be "diff_R". It uses a redcup.avi file and the user needs to select 2 points in the plot after w hich the matlab code will run.
Attachments:
TestMatlab.vi ‏18 KB
redcup.avi ‏1818 KB

I took a look at the code and I am not sure what you want to be doing with it. For example you don't even look at the output, so how do you know it is not getting the results you want. In addition I am not sure what plot you are refering to.
What I would suggest is see if the code works in Matlab as an m file. Once it works there import that into the script node, and then send in the inputs needed.

ASpect ratio not supported by DVD... WHY???

So I've been tearing my hair out over this problem. I'm using Adobe Encore CS3, and attempting to build a DVD. I've made tons of DVDs using these files before, without a problem, and now I seem to be having issues for an unknown reason. My files are all 16:9, and I've made sure to interpret the footage to 1.2 pixel aspect ratio. Everything seems to be working perfectly, but when I try to build, I get an error:
PGC "(timeline)" has an error at 0.4004s. The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD. -PGC Info: name = (timeline name), ref = HApgc, time = 0.4004s
I've tried conforming the footage to all the different aspect ratios, but nothing seems to work. Help would be much appreciated! Oh, and just so you know, my files are all .mpg, and I have no button animations, just regular text buttons. I used Sony Vegas to render the original files, and I've never had this issue in Encore before, and I've done nothing differently as far as rendering and setting up the project goes.

The PGC error is deadly.
Have you moved your media or project files, or your project folder?
Have you overwritten any of the media files with newer versions? If you
can answer yes to any of these questions, then you may well be out of
luck with this project. Often with the PGC error, starting a brand-new
project from scratch is the only solution. You can try saving the
project under a different name, then closing and launching En and
opening a different project. From there, go to Edit | Preferences |
Media and clean the media cache database. Then re-open your re-named
project. It probably won't work, but it's worth a try just in case it does.

PGC, aspect ratio not supported by DVD, please advice!

I hope someone can help me!
During the build of the DVD the following error occurs:
RPC "Extra 's" has an error at 0.0000s.
The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD.
PGC info: name=Extra 's ref-HApgc. time=0.0000s.
The "Extra 's" is one of the menus I used in this project, it is an exisiting Encor template, I used two buttons for two SD clips.
I am using CS-4.
Please help!!!

I completly rebuild the project with the same template menus and all clips, no luck, it gives the same error.
Then i rebuild the complete project in a new projectfile with a different menu template, succes!!!
I'm using CS-4 from the beginning and had no such problems at all.
Anyway, i 'm burning the DVD 's now so i am happy although i still don 't know what causes the previous problems.
Thanks for your support!

Set the aspect ratio

Hello,
I have an old iBook G4 (aspect ratio 4:3) hooked up to a TV screen (aspect ratio 16:9). This means the TV always gets the 4:3 output and is incredibly annoying.
Using the open source MPlayer I am able to set the aspect ratio of movie files to 16:9, meaning they are distorted when viewing on the iBook screen but appear correctly on the TV screen.
However, MPlayer is not as good a player as QT and tends to corrupt the rendering... is it possible to set the aspect ratio of a movie in QT? This could also be solved if it were possible to set the aspect ratio of the entire display on the iBook when the video-out cable is plugged in.

no resolution... doesn't seem possible.

What does the Error Message: "File format not supported" mean?

When I first open an existing project, I get an Error Message: "File format not supported". After a few seconds all the windows open up and I can continue to edit. My question is will this "File format not supported" haunt me later or shall I continue to edit as I am doing? Why does this error message come up? All the current footage is shot on same camera, the Canon 5D Mark III at 23.98 time code rate, 1920 x 1080.

Why- I try to connect my Samsung PL 55 camera to my iPad 1 using the camera kit it tells me this accessory is not supported by iPad. I have tried restarting etc but nothing works

I got the camera kit and plug in my Samsung pl55 camera. The iPad eventually says this accessory is not supported by iPad. a matte camera asks me if ! want to connect the USB to a computer or a printer. I select computer but by then it's too late and everything just sits and nothing happens.

Are you using Apple's iPad Camera Connection Kit?
Have you plugged your Samsung PL55 into the kit as shown here:
Are you trying to send JPEG images from the camera to the iPad?
Your post has a portion that starts with " a matte". I don't understand it. Perhaps the beginning of the sentence got omitted.
