Updating Connections DVD Studio Pro Trouble

When trying to open all of my DVD Studio Pro projects. In the "Loading Project" window, it just sits on Updating Connections. I just did the Apple Pro update yesterday. And today I can not open projects. I am thinking that has to do with the problem. Has anyone else found a fix for this?
Thanks

Actually the problem is officially "ProKit 6.0.1" update that they release a couple weeks ago.
We discovered this on another forums thread. I forgot to post the answer here.
You need to get a copy of Prokit 5.0 then replace the 6.0.1 folder with the older version. Use the directions at this link.

I did it on my laptop. And everything corrected it self without having to do any reinstall or anything weird. I literally just copied the ProKit 5.0 folder from my desktop after I reformatted it. Went to my laptop and deleted the 6.0.1 folder and put in the older version. Then everything worked fine and I haven't had any trouble since.
Good luck
PS
FYI, I've found that the Genius's they have working at the Apple store are anything but. When I was having the same problem, they couldn't figure it out either.
Of course they are the same group that said that I had to buy the expensive $150 copy of Snow Leopard with the new iLife to upgrade my desktop from Tiger. When all I really needed was the $29 upgrade disk.

DVD studio pro trouble

Mac friends: Any one use DVD Studio Pro? I want to tear my hair out. I have my menu and assets all ready to go and when played on the simulator things work perfectly... Then when I burn the DVD - nothing. Nada. Suggestions??? I'm on a deadline.

You need to describe what is happening better.

What does that mean? The disc does not burn? The disc does not playback in a DVD player?

Problems downloading the new DVD Studio Pro update.

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem/message when trying to download the new DVDSP update?;
'You appear to have already downloaded the DVD Studio Pro update.'
This also happened on the last updates that were released.
There is a workaround that I know of that I had to use last time but it seems strange that this is occuring. Has anyone else had any issues with this update (or the last for that matter)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as Apple Tech would not help me because I am on a Volume Licence and the Apple Store that I purchased it through has not given me any help.
Thanks
Carlo

I can get around this problem by using software update to download the updates and then use the downloaded file to update the machines but I would really like the ability to download the updates as a standalone dmg file.
I am running 20 systems on an airport network that will freeze up if I do the updates online the best i can do is 3 at once to avoid serious lag.
Being able to download them seperately was always my first choice so i could update the machines regardless of being conected to the net or not. The workaround that I am using only downloads the package file and it seems there is the possibility of them being corrupted or damaged over time (moving from server to drives to media to computers etc).
I still want to know why it thinks I have downloaded them already, it doesn't make any sense.

IDVD and DVD Studio Pro hang and crash since 10.5.6 update

Seems like there are a lot of problems since this 10.5.6 update... I came here b/c of a prob with iDVD and DVD Studio Pro not working anymore. Was just trying to "Share/Export" an iMovie project to iDVD (and then tried again with DVD Studio Pro) and the program just hung and crashed and also wouldn't let me Restart or Shutdown very easily either. What gives?

nmctech,
Have you tried to reset the SMU/PRAM?

DvD Studio Pro recently updated, not working properly

Sometime it seems it just doesn't pay to update software.
I Recently updated my OS to Tiger and along with it I updated to the latest FCP and DVD Studio pro.
Now in DVD Studio Pro it will not properly read existing projects and when I build a project from scratch it "unexpectedly quits" just when I get going.
Any one else have this problem?

I went thru this recently, after weeks of calling Applecare, trying everything, the solution finally was to completely de-Install DVD Studio (detailed instructions are on Apple support somewheres) and Final Cut (plus all the smaller apps) BOTH. Then re-install everything, appartently there is some shared libraries or something that get corrupt, Applecare was useless btw, (except to point me towards the de-installation docs)... I know it sounds like alot of hassle, but it worked for me! Good Luck!

Updated DVD studio pro 4.2.1 and now I cannot import .mov files?

I just updated to OS 10.5.7 and DVD studio pro 4.2.1 and now can only open half my previous project files (yet others open fine still done at the same time) and also can no longer import any 1920x1080i HDV files exported from Final Cut Pro, where I could before, if I didn't want to deal with the 17 hour compressor m2v export. On a deadline and of course the 2 files I need to update no longer open. Help!

yes. its bizarre as I can only import m2v's now vs .mov files before. Keep getting error messages, as well as only opening about 50% of my DVDSP project files, yet all have the same basic elements & settings. Exporting my files as m2vs which should work, but wondering why this is and if I'm the only one experiencing and if there is a fix?

DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or comparable program?

DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or a comparable software available? Or are there some internal fixes that I have not found. Preferences that will allow a clean product to be delivered?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I first import all my assets, build my DVD, which may include one or more menus, pictures, music, etc. I use the simulator to test all aspects of video before burning. Making sure that the end jump works, if I add chapters, going to each chapter making sure buttons and end jumps for the chapters work. When I am satisfied I then go to burn/format function and delete or reuse any folders that the computer advises. The resolution is SD, display mode 16.9, Lossless linking, red laser, single, one side 12 cm. Thats about it. Haven't had a problem in the past just wondering what I could be doing wrong now. I am workingo on an imac, MAC OS X, 10.7.4, 2.93 GHz, Intel Core 17, Memory 8GB, 133mHz,DDR3.
Response I get is, unknown disc, please check disc again."

Trouble with Dual Layer DVD in DVD Studio Pro

I am having some trouble burning a Dual Layer DVD in DVDSP. About 1 out 3 discs are coming out unplayable on multiple players and some are freezing during playback (starting and stopping). I have not worked with DL DVD's before and was wondering if there is a particular brand that might be better then another or if there are some settings I may be missing in DVDSP.
I am using Memorex Dual Layer DVD+R DVD's, my project is 7.1 GB's, and I am running DVD Studio Pro 4. Any feedback or ideas would be appreciated.

>I am using Memorex
That's the most likely cause of the problem. Memorex is notorious for poor quality. Try switching to Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (now under the JVC brand).

LaCie DLB trouble communicating with DVD Studio Pro 4

I have built and formatted my 5gb dvd properly inside of DSP 4. I have LaCie DLB External firewired in and set properly. When I go to burn the tray comes out, it muxes...but when the formatting begins it stops and I get this message; "Formatting failed. The recording device reported the error #6: Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred. (0x29, 0x00). I know the burner works if I use Toast...but I want it to work directly from DVD studio pro 4. My question is...1) what is that message? 2) does dvd studio pro 4 and LaCie work together? LaCie says they don't support dvd studio pro 4. 3) would it just be easier to install a internal dual layer burner?

Delete the "com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist" before or after you install the update but before you repair permissions.

Can I use a version 4 upgrade to update a copy of DVD Studio Pro?

Hi there
I have DVD Studio Pro 1 and would like to upgrade to 4. I have the chance of an unopened v4 upgrade and want to know if this is feasible?
Any help gratefully received.

I have DVD Studio Pro 1 and would like to upgrade to 4. I have the chance of an unopened v4 upgrade and want to know if this is feasible?
Take a look at the DVD SP Upgrade Box to see what the requirements are for the upgrade (should say which versions are needed). Also you can get the Universal Binary Suite (all Apps) off the DVD SP 4 upgrade disc for a real good price

Trouble burning with Alias and DVD studio pro

Thanks for taking a moment to read this.
I'm trying to make a DVD-rom and have everything linked up correctly, however, when I drag or copy my pdf documents into the right folder, it creates an alias of the files. This seems to be common when burning regular DVD's and the computer then simply burns the main files from the alias onto the disk, however, when I burn the dvd-rom through DVD Studio Pro, only the alias's copy to the folder and then the links within the dvd don't work(there is no data, only the alias for the documents)
Any ideas are much appreciated?

It sounds like you have set up a "Burn" folder. You do not want a burn folder. Create a regular folder. Drag everything you want on your DVD into that folder (or copy everything you want into that folder by Option–dragging the file into the folder.) Then in DVD SP click on your disc in the Outline then look at your Inspector. In the DVD-ROM section, select the folder that you have set up.

Hi:
You can start trying this troubleshooting doc:

If you have problems with different apps you probably have a system problem.
Hope that helps !

I can't burn DVD's on DVD Studio Pro since I install Snow Leopard

Well, my computer was working great, I had tiger installed and I decided to update to snow leopard and "big mistake" since then I haven't been able to burn DVD's from DVD Studio Pro, at the time to start writing the information to burn it, it shows a message saying " the recording device reported the error #6. Unknown device error. I connected and external dvd burner and when is time to burn it says "The recording device reported the illegal request. Unknown device.
I can easily burn DVD's from iDVD what makes me believe the problem is not with the burner. I went to Melrose Mac and they told me there is a conflict between FCS and Snow Leopard, they suggested to install Leopard instead, he mention many people has complain about the same issue Can that be possible? I got something thinking my computer was going to work better and I screwed it up!

Did you also upgrade DVD Studio Pro?

MPEG2 Crashes DVD Studio Pro 4

Everytime I select a mpeg 2 (.m2v) in my import assests window, DVD Studio Pro immediately crashes. Even when I select the movie file from my finder, the finder crashes. This isn't just one movie file that is making these programs crash. I have tried 8 different ones. The weird part is that the .m2v files that already exist in the project play perfectly and don't crash DVD Studio Pro. How can I correct this problem? Thank you.

I've just loaded DVD Studio Pro 4 and cannot get it to import assets (of any kind) without crashing. I'm guessing this is a similar problem. I've repaired permissions, loaded the Pro app update and updated to DVD SP4.02. . .but I don't know what "trash the DVD SP plist" means?
At this point I can't operate anything in the menu, for example I can select preferences from the menu but it does nothing. It will open a new project, but won't let me do anything with the project.
I have more than the required hardware and had no trouble with DVD Studio 3. I did load Tiger before loading DVD SP4 if that makes a difference. Any suggestions? (I also loaded FCP 5 at the same time and have had no trouble withthat program.)

DVD Studio Pro 4 will not open after installing Leopard

I had trouble opening my film project in FCP studio 2 but resolved the problem by trashing the preferences. This did not help other programs like DVD studio pro which will not open at all or crashes as soon as it is open. It also gives me strange messages while it tries to open like" Media-application quit unexpectedly." Would re-installing help? I would have to begin with FCP studio pro and then update all the programs again. Is there an easier way to solve this problem? (Leopard is causing other programs to quit unexpectedly but I don't get messages that some part of the application has quit).

So far it seems the advice when going to Leopard is to due a total clean install of Leopard on a clean drive before installing the applications.
