Troubleshooting intellidisc method 2 for blended DVD

I am doing a basic test of intellidiscs method 2 for adding pdf's.
http://www.intellidisc.com/support/workflows/Mac-PCBlendedDVDMethod-2.pdf
I have burned the disc from DVDSP then after opening a new intellidisc project and trying to assign behaviors.... I find that intellidisc has split the title (track) that had two chapters into separate titles and won't allow me to add behaviors. It looks like I can add behaviors to chapter, but not titles.
so in the DVD map it reads:
T1C1
T2C1
T2C2
instead of having T2 with two chapters inside for me to add behaviors to.
I have posted this at intellidisc forum and will post any answers here.
Hope this makes sense and I appreciate all the past info and patience!

This topic has been discussed over and over. I'm not sure there is any one problem...
With that said, a few things to notice.
1. Fan Speed is controlled by power management (ACPI). Under BootCamp (Ubuntu and Windows), the information needed to control the fan speed is the current temperature of the processor and the current fan speed. Using this information, the fan controller portion in the OS can make informed decisions for controlling the fan. However, the information comes from the BIOS. Since the MacBook is emulating BIOS through Bootcamp (for both Ubuntu and Windows), it seems that this could indeed be a firmware issue. I guess I'm assuming that if the firmware was incorrect and the firmware feeds the BIOS emulator the necessary temp information, then the firmware could easily be the cause. This would also make OS X systems overheat. Therefore, there IS a common thread among all three operating systems.
2. What if this is simply a hardware issue. If I understand correctly, cool air is drawn in around the keys and exhausted through the vent under the LCD. Just looking at my MacBook, I notice that there is very little space for air to flow since my LCD seems to block a good portion of the vent. Therefore, if the processor is running at full speed for a decent amount of time, it simply may produce too much heat for the fans to dissipate. This is very dependent on how a user uses their laptop and heat can damage things so if it happens once, it may be more likely to happen again. This too would effect all three operating systems.
At the end of the day, there are many reasons why the overheating occurrs. Simply do your best and keep sending your MacBook in for repair until they fix it for you. I'm sure they are looking into the problem and will discover a fix in the near future.

Best way to downconvert from HD to SD for SD DVD... Help...

Ok gentlemen... I'm some tens of hours into this frustration and have hardly any hair left to pull out.
I'm building a main menu for SD DVD in DVDSP.
The entire menu is a quick time file with all graphics and text included, set as back ground in DVDSP, with the buttons drawn over the top.
So Im in FCP building this video for the background of my main menu. It is a composite of video, some motion graphics, live type some and Photoshop stills.
Im building for SD however I want the menus to appear 16x9 and since most of my footage is HDV 1080i I built everything in 1080i thinking I could down convert after.
my first out put was HDV 1080i60 which is native... what I have been editing and compositing in through out. It looks fine.
I run this 1080i Qt through compressor multiple times trying to convert to DV NTSC 4x3. 720x480 3x2... I try every combination I can think of... crop dont crop letter box, anamorphic... everytime my resulting QT is either distorted or degraded beyond acceptability. the text has fallen apart the video is fuzzy etc. All I want to do is Down convert to SD!
So I bring the original 1080i output back into FCP because I don't want it to have to re-render this monster every-time I out-put. It looks exactly the same when viewed from FCP. I try to do the same thing with QT conversion... same problem.
So next I tried to do it in FCP by simply creating a new sequence with the desired dv settings and making the size conversions and re-rendering. same deal.
I went back to DVDSP and Attempted to create an HD project... new project ... modify the project and general prefrences. I cannot import the original HDV 1080i video output as an asset. the message reads incompatible format.
Question is :
Can anyone recommend to me the method, the format, and the program to convert HDV1080i60 to what ever SD format DVDSP will haphazardly accept... please... anybody.
I realize that some of you would like to know what the specs are on this vast multitude of useless dv QT's that I have produced. unfortunately I do not have the energy to produce such post. J/K I will be glad to supply whatever data i have failed to list here if it will help some on to help me. Ask away...

If your final output is SD, I would set the camcorder to downconvert to DV and capture the footage as DV. Then you don't need to worry about the whole HD->SD thing anymore and things will happen much faster.
Also, if you're creating an asset that will be rendered by DVDSP into a menu by adding buttons, etc, I wouldn't compress it to .m2v prior to importing into DVDSP. The reason is you'd be compressing (i.e. throwing out information) and then adding your buttons and then letting DVDSP recompress the menu again and throw out even more information leading to poorer quality.
Finally, you mentioned your source footage is 16:9 and you want 16:9 menus. Why did you convert to 4:3?

Request Advice for creating DVDs from 7.5 gig file sizes

Hi,
[using dvdstudio 3]
I’m looking for advice for home DVD project i'm working on. I want to create a DVD from video that has been captured to my computer using iMovieHD, and have completed my wanted edits for two clips. They are about an hour-plus each. When exporting the two clips separately (Sharing, in iMovie terms), the file sizes are about 7.5 Gig each at full quality,and I understand I’m going to have to cut some corners in the process to get both on one DVD and I’m even willing to have two DVDs, but still need to know the best way to decrease the file size for each one. The audio should remain as 16 bit 44.1 Khz, Stereo.
I’m wondering what the best method to achieve an optimum quality DVD is. Again, I realize I’ll have to compress the video at the loss of quality (i.e., “cut corners”) to make the DVDs.
In my previous experiences, I’ve retained the larger file size all the way up through the authoring process in DVD Studio letting it build a 7.5 gig dvd format (VIDEO_TS). Then, I used DVDx2One to compress it down to 4.5. The end result was pretty good and I never had any troubles per say. However, this project is important to me and I want to make the best quality I can. What would you do differently?
Here are my software tools that I use interchangeably for previous projects; copying, authoring, editing, etc:
-> iMovieHD 4x – used to capture the video.
-> DVD Studio 3 - to author and build my dvd session
-> ffmpegx - as a video conversion and compression tool
-> DVDX2one to recompress DVD formatted (VIDEO_TS).
Thanks very much for your tips!
JeffTronics

Hi Jeff - is the iMovie file in QT format?
If so, you need to compress it to MPEG2 - you don't need to suffer too much of a quality loss by doing so - how long (in minutes) is the video?
You should also encode the audio to AC3 - this will save loads of space as AC3 is about a tenth the size of a .aiff.
ffmpeg will create the MPEG for you, but so will DVDSP (as indeed will Quicktime). In your applications folder you should find 'A.Pack' which will handle the audio conversion as well.
The exact encoding parameters you use will depend on the nature of the footage that you have got - it's more than just squeezing it to fit - you need to account for fades, pans, zooms and fast action as well. Some parts can have a lower bitrate applied than others, and this is where a tool such as Compressor comes in handy. DVDSP will encode the footage as you work, or when you build if you want it to - this is also a reasonable option if you have nothing else available, or if you are new to the whole thing.
The best workflow is to go from iMovie to a compression tool to create your MPEG2 file. Take the associated .aiff file and encode to to Dolby Digital (AC3). Import both the MPEG2 and the AC3 file into DVDSP and you should be able to get the entire project to less than 4.37GB (the maximum capacity of a DVD-R).

Using Canon for Printable DVDs

I've been told not to use stick on labels for DVDs. I have a Canon iP6700D printer. So I got the tray from eBay to use for printing DVDs. I went through all the steps so the tray will fit into my printer and went through all the steps on the **** Printer website to change the printer mode so it will print on the DVDs. I got a demo version of DiscLabel and tried to print a label but my printer keeps telling me "The inner cover is open, close the inner cover and press OK". If I close the inner cover I can't put in the tray with the DVD. I've done the page setup and selected Tray C as the 'Paper Size'.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong??? I would appreciate any help I can get.

Copy/paste from the Canon manual:
Cautions When Printing on a Printable Disc
Be sure to use the disc tray supplied with this printer. It has a "G" on the upper side.
Do not print on printable discs that are not compatible with inkjet printing. The ink will not dry and may cause problems with the disc itself or devices which the disc is loaded onto.
Do not print on the printable discs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on discs unreadable.
Hold the printable discs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or recording surface.
Remove any dirt from the disc tray before placing printable discs on the disc tray. Loading discs in a dirty disc tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
Do not attach the disc tray while the printer is in operation.
Do not remove the disc tray while printing on printable discs. Doing so may damage the printer, thedisc tray, or the disc.
Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the disc tray. The printer may not be able to recognize loading of the printable disc, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the disc traybecome dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the plate.
The disc tray may become dirty if software other than Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
Always use the supplied 3.15 inches (8 cm) disc adapter when printing on 3.15 inches (8 cm) printable discs.
Always close the inner cover after printing on printable discs.
To keep the print quality at an optimal level, it is recommended to stop printing discs once every ten discs when printing more than ten discs continuously.
To stop the printing operation, detach the disc tray from the printer, then close the inner cover. After approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the inner cover, attach the disc tray to the printer, then resume printing.

• How do you find what you're looking for in DVD Studio Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like most about DVD Studio Pro Help?
• What is missing?
• Are there any particular examples of other manuals or documentation that you consider to be good models for future editions of the DVD Studio Pro User Manual and onscreen help?
• By what method do you usually learn a new application? For example: provided tutorials and manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training classes?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in DVD Studio Pro?

• Do you use multiple computer displays?

• How often do you use the DVD Studio Pro Help
documentation? Under what circumstances do you use it
most?
I'm working with DVSP for 4 months, so everytime I don't know how to do something I use the documentation. As the times passes I almost don't need it so often.
• How do you find what you're looking for in DVD
Studio Pro Help? For example: table of contents,
index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
PDF Search, but I think is not the best way to search because it shows too much useless results.
• What do you like most about DVD Studio Pro Help?
It is powerful and easy to use.
• What is missing?
A way of editing the DVD Project Source Code. Let me explain: in some big projects I just need to change the Jump from "button_1" to "button_2", and to do that I need to find the button under my menus and choose it from a list. If I can just type "2" instead of "1" it will be faster and error-free.
Advancing in this idea, if I can open the entire link list as a Source Code in TextEdit, I can see all the buttons and link all of them without seeking for each on menus.
Today the Connections Tab helps a lot, but I still need to find the button un the menus. With 5 or 4 menus is easy, but sometimes I have 50...
• Are there any particular examples of other manuals
or documentation that you consider to be good models
for future editions of the DVD Studio Pro User Manual
and onscreen help?
The OSX help is great!
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided tutorials and
manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training
classes?
Manuals, third-party tutorials and discussions foruns.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in DVD Studio Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation?
Using scripts. It could be better with a lot of examples. "To do that, try this one".
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
In electronic is easy to find things.
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you
think we should explore?
• What size computer display do you typically use to
view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch,
17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
I use AppleCinema 20
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280

Firmware upgrade for Matshita DVD-R UJ-845E to burn dual layer DVD?

Dear All
I have a PowerBookG4 with a Matshita DVD-R UJ-845E which it seems apple has disabled from burning dual layer DVD. I've read around that there are firware upgrades that can enable actions again. I can't find any for Matshita DVD-R UJ-845E, though. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Angie
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

angie1976 you have me directly.
As stated in previous posts there have been several issues with the Matshita Optical drives that Apple has installed in there computers. Over time the problem has been discussed and it would appear that there are several things that come into play here.
Apple has made it so that many of the drives they intall are in fact not capable of there full potential.
It in fact boils down to an issue of Copywrite Infringment. Apple doesn't want to put itself in a position to be open to Lawsuits from the Motion Picture Industry.
Many of the drives that do not work up to there full potential have FIRMWARE updates that are offered by the manufacture to remedy this problem and some do not.
It has also been found that the casual user that burns DVD's isn't aware of the huige difference in the Format's available for DVD Burning. and the many limitations of these different drives as far as Media and Speed of Media is concerned. Many of the DL burners that were installed will not burn DL. Apple has had such a huge amount of dissatisfied customers that many that will take the time and if they still have AppleCare these drives will be replaced free of charge.
Here are a collection of links that will help you to understand the problem as it exists.
I will also say that upwards of 85% of the problems user expieriance is with POOR QUALITY MEDIA.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
I also noticed that some others have chimed in as to the fact that Media was not the issue. This is not entirely true.
Here is another post that I answered that will also cover this subject that may help you understand the problem a little better.
Let me see if I can shed some light on this issue, for you.
Maybe some others as well can.
There are several Applications that are standard programs that come with OSX.
Of these, several have the ability to burn a project.
iTunes....iMovie.....Disk Utility.
Each of the above mentioned applications were developed for a specific purpose. However, they are capable of doing more than the original developers intended.
The problem in my eyes is the lack of information for a new user to Mac.
In what one would consider the perfect world, you simply choose a project, drag it in to one or more of the applications mentioned above and simply click burn and you are finished.
This is not always the case.
Often users are left with the issue of no clear cut direction on how to use these different burning softwares, and the ability to have a clear cut step by step user interface.
All of the furnished OSX burning software is in fact usable and works well.
The problem is HOW TO USE THEM.
The more experienced users find this either to be a non issue or will take the time to work with these different applications until they figure out how to use them.
There are of course different Advertisements and FAQ's that cover these to some degree that leave users more confused than when they started.
One of the major issues that accompany this problem is this.
Not all Burners that Apple uses in there machines are the same.
Not all Burners will accept all the different Media's that are available on the market.
Thus leaving many users confused. Not having a clear cut understanding of what the difference is between these different Media's and there use.
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd.htm
The above link offers an overview of this subject.
Apple has found itself in a delima with the Motion Picture Industry, as well as The Music Industry over the issue of offering there users with the capability of copying Copyrighted material. Thus leaving them open for Law Suits.
There was an in-depth article in one of the recent issues of Macworld Magazine, that went in-depth covering this issue.
It is almost impossible to cover all aspects of this issue on these forums.
There are of course different softwares available that make the burning experience much easier and user friendly.
Roxio is one of the industry leaders in the development of Mac compatible Burning Software. They offer 2 of the industry leaders in this area.
Toast-7 and Popcorn.
This solves only one portion of the problem. Both of these software offering give the user the ability to copy about anything.
However, there is so much controversy over the issue of Movie and Music copying, the manufactures of the Computers, and the Burners try to limit the users ability to copy these, and thus be clear of any Legal Issue.
Here again rises the problem of computer users being mad because the industry has placed limitations on there ability to use there product in a fast easy to use method.
Again there are work around to all of these issues.
The problem then becomes who out there is willing to tell us what is the easiest most trouble free method of using these computers, burners, software,and media.
The burner manufactures offer there burners.
To get them to work to there full potential the users then must search out the 3rd party Firmware updates that will enable them to work properly. This is not an issue with all burners but quite a few.
Most readers on these forums have read about the MEDIA compatibility and poor quality issues these are covered in a prior link.
To sum this up, the resources are available to do just about anything one wants to do in the copy area.
Not every copy problem is the same because of all the different elements that come into the equation, Burner, Media, Software, Firmware.
So if a user has a problem and needs the information and the resources to copy there projects whatever they may be.
Be through, give as much information as you can.
Keep it simple, No need for the use of exotic terms that most people don't understand anyway.
In-depth. Tell all aspects of the issue and what you have what you are using and what you want to accomplish.
If there is an answer out there.
Someone will Chime in.
The users on these forums for the most part are more than willing to share in there knowledge, free of charge.
One last thing,
When a user gives you an answer for you problem, for the most part they believe it to be a fact. Sometimes this isn't the case, we have all been guilty of, this is not done with malicious intent. It is done trying to help.
I personally have been misinformed, or tried a fix, that will work in one instance but not another. So tell all you can about your problem.
Cheers Don

Best ATV-2 settings for ripping DVDs using Handbrake

I have a large dvd library that I want to get into itunes for the ATV-2 as well as the ability to use on my iOS4 devices. Can anyone share their experiences?

If you're talking about commercial, encrypted DVDs, the terms of use of these forums prohibit discussion of software or methods of breaking the encryption/copying them.
For unencrypted DVDs, Handbrake is one of the most recommended applications.
Best of luck.

What's the best method of burning CD/DVD using MBP?

As per my title, what is the best method of burning CD/DVD using my MBP? Can I use iDVD, disk utility etc? I'm referring to burning stuff like music, photos, doc etc. I used Toast Titanium (shd be version 6) with my iBook G4 but it doesn't seem to work with MBP after data migration. Guess the version is too old and not supported in Snow Leopard. Is there any upgrade for Toast Titanium and how much would it cost?

Hi tanvivien,
The best method is really going to depend on what you're burning. All of the iLife applications (iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, etc.) make it pretty easy to burn with the click of a couple of buttons via the "Share" menu drop down.
You can use Finder for files/data as well as media but if it's multimedia then usually the programs where they're managed or stored is easier.
Information on Toast and how to upgrade would be found here - http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html

Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
Thanks in advance.

Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point

Hi bkshn,
This error is caused by the missing "Main" method in your project. it is the entry point of your project.
If you want to create a EF project, you could follow the way in the aricle below.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907#codefirst
The Main method is like below.
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
using (var db = new BloggingContext())
// Create and save a new Blog
Console.Write("Enter a name for a new Blog: ");
var name = Console.ReadLine();
var blog = new Blog { Name = name };
db.Blogs.Add(blog);
db.SaveChanges();
// Display all Blogs from the database
var query = from b in db.Blogs
orderby b.Name
select b;
Console.WriteLine("All blogs in the database:");
foreach (var item in query)
Console.WriteLine(item.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
And you could start to learn the EF from the following MSDN blogs.

If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Satellite A200 - Need driver for CD/DVD drive

Hey folks.
Recently installed WXP Pro on my A200 PSAEC laptop, so I'm now dual booting XP and Vista on my laptop.
Problem is, I've got all the drivers working on XP and everything's running perfect, but when I tried to burn a DVD, Nero says the recorder can't burn DVDs. In "My Computer" the drive shows as a DVD-RW drive, but when I insert a blank DVD, it says CD Drive. The drive shows up as "TCSDcor' CD/DVDW TC-L6#2D" in device manager. I've searched around for a driver, but can't find an exact match for that drive and there's no optical drive drivers on this Toshiba site driver section. The only thing I've found is an executable file for upgrading the firmware, but it throws an error saying it's the wrong drive.
Anyone got any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Toshiba European driver page provides three different firmware updates for Satellite A200 PSAEC series:
TO02 for CD/DVD drive TS-L632
TO02 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632P
(This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
TO03 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632H
(This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
Im not quite sure what TO0$ means but I think the sign $ is only a free variable parameter (place marker).
If you want to check your current firmware then you could check it using the Nero Info Tool

Hi Archana,
To Upload bulk data I think BDC is the best and effecient way.
Regarding Infotypes we dont have any country specific Infotypes in OM & PA. In Payroll we do have according to country wise.
I hope you had understood the point
