Third Party DVD Burners with DVD Pro Studio?!

Currently upgraded to 2 ProMacs .. lovely! However have 3 older G4's that are still able to do a good amount of work with videos, are upgraded with RAM, video cards etc...
However I need to change the internal drives as they are now getting on to be 6 years old and are struggling to read disks... let alone create them. Apple are quoting £200 (inc vat) + installation for them (which is silly as its one of the most simple jobs to do!).
I can get Sony's for £50 inclusive, but have been informed that they will not work with Apple, unless all items to be burned are through Toast. This is no good as I use Final Cut Studio.. and I cannot find a way of checking compatibilty of the drive.
Someone has suggested an external, however I dont know how to change the target drive in DVD Pro Studio... and I cant find a compatible list of drives for DVD pro studio...
Any help appreciated!!

I use Pioneers (103, 104, 109s) in externals Firewire cases, easier to move bwteeen machines if needed.
Such as these (although U.S. Store)

You target the external burner in the Build and Format Dialog Boxes.
Also you can build the DVD in Final Cut Pro and burn to disc using Toast (if you want the Sony drive). Toast will often provide better/more reliable results than burning through DVD SP. Alot of people use Toast or burn from a disc image.

  • Duplicating DVDs made with DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2

    I cannot duplicate dvds made with DVD Studio Pro. I could with my prior version but since upgrading, I am unable to. The duplicator says: Source and target size mismatch - or something like that. I have seen only one other complaint about this and they said to burn the dvd to the hard disc and copy from there. This did not work. Same error message comes up on the duplicator. I can't burn all these dvds one at a time!!!!! Any solutions out there?

    Welcome to the discussions.
    It is also good to include as much information about what you are using to help others see if they can be of assistance. I know it can be frustrating trying to finish up and something goes wrong. Some days many people reply, other times, such as the problem I have with connecting to background process after the last quick update, hardly anyone replies. I hope that someone might be able to offer assistance.
    You say you have 4.2.2, not 4.1.2? I have not seen that update, is it for an intel model? I am still using a Dual G4 1.42 with 4.1.2.
    Which duplicator are you using? It would be good to include that so those using that brand/model can replay.
    Is the DVD you recorded on and the ones used for duplications the same brand/size/type?
    While I know this can take a while, in a pinch, such as not, just keep DVDSP fired up and feeding your DVD burner.
    I only have to do 6 to 8 copies at a time so I use my DVD burner from DVDSP or save the DVD as a disk image using Toast Titanium 8 and opened it in toast to duplicate via the DVD burner.
    Please reply with more information and hopefully others can offer more help.

    This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1795765
    I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
    I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
    I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
    Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together.  Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
    The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
    One thing I found last week and meant to mention:  After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

  • Third party sales along with subcontracting.

    Dear Experts,
    Currently in our company we are having a scenario for third party sales along with subcontracting. the scenario is as explained under.
    Company
    A                                   B                                  C, D, E (vendors)
    A raises a PO to B for the purpose of procurement of material X and services Y .
    B generates a Sales Order against A's PO and performs procurement of material X
    from vendor C. C delivers the goods directly to A and invoices B.
    Now here the requirement is that material X is common in company A & B and I need to maintain
    the consumption and valuation of material X in both company codes.
    How is this done.
    In context to the above scenario;
    Now the material which has been delivered by company C (vendor) to Company A;
    again this company A gives the same material X (which now becomes raw material or spares)
    to B as free issue  for the purpose of project.
    Through normal Third Party sales order created in company B; the system issues me the following message

    Hi,
    Actually the scenario is that company A & B both are different but wish to interface their operations
    in order to achieve speedy transactions. If both were under same company umbrella then intercompany would have been possible. But in this case these are two different companies all together.
    thank you for your response.
    Regards

  • Third Party Order Planning with SNP - Forecast not Consumed

    Hallo SAP Gurus,
    I have implemented the solution "Third Party Order Planning with SNP" created by Abhay Kapase in our SAP APO System - please see http://scn.sap.com/community/scm/apo/blog/2014/02/26/third-party-order-planning-with-snp.
    But I have one problem that the forecast is not consumed.
    I have done the following things:
    1. I have activated the business Functions SCM_APO_DRS_PLAN in the APO System and  LOG_MM_OM_2 in the ECC System.
    2. I have done the customiznig in the ECC System: Created the schedule line category D1 and assigned it.
    3. I have done the customizing in the APO System: Created the planning strategy 21.
    4. I have created all the necessary master data in the APO and the ECC System
    5. I have been created a customer order.
    6. The purchase requisitionhas been transferred to the APO System. But the forecast is not consumed.
    Can anybody help me.
    Best Regards
    Dieter

    Someone must know!
    We have a similar requirement. We do have CRM but don't wish to implement it for this purpose.
    In the SNP planning boook, we want to be able at the SNP vendor location to see the total requirement for both materials to be delivered to our normal supply chain as well as those directly delivered to customers. The direct delivery sales orders are entered to R3 according to the standard process; the purchase requisitions and PO's for these do not go to SNP. The customer location is set-up in SNP. Is there a way to make the purchase req's and orders visible in the SNP Planning Book???
    Many thanks

  • Third party software for sony dvd burner

    I would greatly appreciate anyone recommending inexpensive software that would work
    with a sony DVD/cd rewritable drive I just purchased. On the box it said it was mac compatible, but
    of course I later found out, only if you purchase mac compatible software. Sony provided a list of third party software that works with the device but its hard to know which ones work WELL with a Mac.
    (I have a mac mini.)
    Thanks for any tips.

    It should just be recognised anyway.
    You can use the Finder, a Burn Folder or Disk Utility to burn data discs.
    iTunes, Garageband to burn playable CDs and DVD backups.
    iPhoto to burn photo slideshows.
    iDVD burns DVD Video discs that can be used in any player.
    The most popular 3rd party software for convenience and ease of use is [Toast|http://www.roxio.com]
    There are many other free and not so free 3rd party applications at versiontracker.com.

    Hi-
    Not so sure about the Emprex, Pioneer is usually not a problem.
    An even better Pioneer is this one:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Pioneer/DVR112DBK/
    To get the full support, including 10x dual layer, use Patchburn:
    http://www.patchburn.de/download.html
    Pioneers can easily have the ROM flashed for future media support (when it becomes necessary).
    As with all DVD burners (except OEM replacements) you will need to remove the front bezel of the DVD burner to fit nicely into your tower.

  • DVD menu title selection on DVD player with DVD's burn from iDVD

    Regarding DVDs burned with iDVD 6.0.3, I have burned multiple DVDs with 6 buttons on the main menu page each of which links to a short film. On the menu screen when I push the right arrow button on the DVD remote not all the menu buttons light up. In addition to pushing the right arrow button on the remote, I have to push the up or down arrow button on the remote (to the DVD player hooked up to the TV) to get to some of the buttons in my DVD menu to be selectable. The buttons are arranged by me in a grid sort of pattern. Is there a way in iDVD I can get all the buttons to be selectable using only the right or left arrow keys on the DVD player remote? Do you understand what I am asking?

    Hi powerbookaid
    And welcome to apple discussions. It's actually difficult to find standalone versions on ebay and CL / Apple's FCP and DVDSP. I found them myself but it took me a very long time. Not always something you can do overnight. But if you are very patient something will show up eventually.
    If you need something now that works (although I advise caution as in backup your dvd or video_TS first) then consider this app for much less money (donationware):

  • DVD quality with DVD SP

    I have been using iDVD to produce DVDs and would be interested in using DVD SP if the quality of visual playback for single sided DVDs over one hour in length (or dual layer DVDs longer than two hours) was significantly better than with iDVD.
    With iDVD scenes with rapid motion are significantly degraded when producing DVDs over one hour in length. Does the compression used with DVD SP produce less artifacts with longer times?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi James:
    You have more control over the final result of your finished disc in every way possible when comparing DVD Studio Pro to iDVD.
    DVDSP bridges an interesting gap between what iDVD is - an easy application for drag and drop DVD creation - and what high-end DVD authoring applications like Sonic Scenarist (what most Hollywood feature films are authored on) are.
    If you're using DVDSP at the "drag and drop" level, you are using the application presets for encoding your video to MPEG2 (the format that it must be in prior to being multiplexed - or "muxed"). This image quality is, well, "goodish".
    For better picture quality results, you'll want to encode your source video to MPEG2 prior to importing it into DVDSP.
    Compressor, the application that ships with DVDSP and/or Final Cut Pro Studio (is DVDSP still available as a stand alone product?) for transcoding digital video has very good presets for MPEG2.
    There are several other Mac based products for encoding MPEG2 for DVD authoring (Autodesk Cleaner, Flip4Mac Episode, etc.); however, these all use QuickTime under the hood. When it comes to software encoding it's really a question of what level of control that an application gives you over the numerous settings when you want to tweak the presets. That, or, which application has the best presets.
    If a DVD-Video disc is disctributed by a major studio, the picture is typically hardware encoded to MPEG2 (often with the Sonic SD2000 board - about $25,000.00 - but there are others) from Digital Betacam video tape.
    While there's still some debate over this, a software encoded stream can look just as good as a hardware encoded stream. For years, the difference has been which one gets the job done faster. A PowerMac G4/400 can encode 10 minutes of DV-NTSC footage at Compressor's "best" settings in about four hours while a PowerMac Dual G5/2.0GHz can encode the same source at the same setting in seven minutes while a MacPro Dual/3.0 Duo Core can finish in thee minutes. Hardware encoding, by contrast, is the run time of the video (actaully, three times the run time of the video allowing for an analysis of the picture, encoding of the picture, then encoding of the audio). And, of course, you have to start with good picture quality to begin with.
    If nothing else, it's worth learning DVDSP just to have direct control of the button flow on your DVD menus.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't remove third party apps from my macbook pro.

    I have installed some third party apps and now want to delete them. The apps are: MorphVOX, YTD, and Paintbrush. I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do. Please help me. I have macbook pro OS X 10.9.4

    I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do.
    What happens when you try?  Have you tried holding down the Command(⌘) key and then drag to the Trash bin in the Dock?
    Do the apps have an uninstaller that came with the app? Many do.  Check the website for them to see if one is offered.
    Do not try to use CleanMyMac, MacKeeper or any of those types of apps to do the trick.  They will damage your system.
