Watch dvd without burn DVD from DVD Studio Pro 4

My client wants to see DVD now and we are 3,000 miles apart. I created DVD project as img file. But it is huge file size to upload. Is there a way to view DVD project through http online?

Encore I believe has a way to build a "mock-up" via Flash Export, which may be what you are referring to.  (I am pretty sure it does in face, just have not opened it in awhile, Encore is kind of clunky compared to DVD SP.)
Something to consider is using Toast which allows you to compress the size of the DVD, though of course there will be a drop of the quality of the footage.  But if it is proofing links and general functions, it may be what you need.  There is other software that does the same thing. 
You may also set up a remote access to your computer, if you are comfortable with that and the user could try to view via DVD Player on your machine.

  • Error burning to LaCie drive from DVD Studio Pro 3...

    Whenever I attempt to burn a DVD to my LaCie d2 DVD+-R drive, using DVD Studio Pro 3, I get an 'error #6' and the burn is unsuccessful. At the 'formatting' stage the process hangs up after a couple of minutes and returns an error message with the following text:
    "The recording device reported error #6: Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred. (0x29, 0x00.)"
    Has anyone else experienced this? I have used both DVD+R and DVD-R discs. I have used the device on two different G4s--a 733MHz, and a dual-1.25GHz. I have worked with the source files on the hard drive, as well as on an external drive. The size of the project is nowhere near capacity for a DVD.
    But the result is always the same: Burn aborted, 'error #6.' I'm at my wit's end. Thanks for any suggestions or insight...

    hey terry
    you say you are directly burning from DVDSP to your lacie drive, correct? is it an internal drive? did you recently replace your drive?
    if it is, go to "about your mac" on finder and click on "more information".
    look at your ATA and or "burner" (something to that effect) and make sure that is "vendor supported" because if it is not, iTunes, DVDSP and iDVD will have problems burning media directly from those apps.
    the easiest way to fix this is with "patchburn". it will make your drive compatible or "supported" by able and you will have NO problems buring.
    question: do you have another burning program (such as toast)? do you have problems burning from the finder?

  • Burn from dvd studio pro, to playing on MBP?

    I just got done making a dvd on DVD studio pro and the dvd plays perfectly fine on my two dvd players that I have at home. But When I want to play it on my Mac book pro, my computer just tries to read it and then spits it back out. any help? why is it not playing on my MBP?

    Hi
    It's the same machine where you burned the disc? I would try using a different media brand. But ussually the playback problems are in stand alone players, not in computers.
    Did you try another video DVD in the same machine?
    Hope that helps !

  • Still Frames Exported from Final Cut Jitter in DVD Studio Pro

    I'm on a Titanium Powerbook G4. I use Final Cut 3.0 and DVD Studio Pro 1.5. Within my film I have several 15 second clips that are each a compilation of a single frame repeated many times so as to get the look of a still picture on the screen. I exported my film as a F.C.P. movie and when I watch it in Quicktime everything appears fine (as it does when I play it from within F.C.P.). However, when I author the DVD with Studio Pro (tried it w/ iDVD also and received the same unwanted result)those clips "jitter" or shake back and forth so I get a blurry image instead of a still, clear image like in F.C.P.
    I burn the DVD w/ the internal combo drive on my Powerbook. I have never had an issue w/ any DVD that I have editied, authored or burned on this computer or w/ these programs.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Ryan

  • Is there is a way to export the themes from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro?

    OK...so here's what I'm trying to find out: is there is a way to export the themes from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro? Or can I build the project in DVDSTPRO and import it to iDVD to build and burn?
    I've read several threads here and haven't come across my specific question. If I missed it, please copy me a link. Otherwise, I'd like to use the templates/themes in iDVD with my FCP project.
    I was thinking about importing the project from FCP to iDVD. Then, I thought about the markers etc....
    So, if anyone had an idea, tip or link, I'm all for it!
    Thanks!

    Importing iDVD Projects and Themes
    DVD Studio Pro 4 can import projects from iDVD 3 and iDVD 4. You can import an iDVD theme by using the theme in a project within iDVD and importing the project into DVD Studio Pro. When creating the project within iDVD, you do not need to use the final assets or make a complete project.
    Note: DVD Studio Pro will not import projects from iDVD 1, iDVD 2, and iDVD 5. In general, iDVD needs to be installed on the same system as DVD Studio Pro. An exception is if you import an iDVD 4 archive project.
    To import an iDVD project or archived project into DVD Studio Pro:
    1 Do one of the following:
    • Choose File > Open.
    • Press Command-O.
    2 Locate and select the iDVD project or iDVD 4 archive project in the Open dialog, then click Open.
    DVD Studio Pro imports the iDVD project.
    About the iDVD Project Import
    When DVD Studio Pro imports an iDVD 3 or iDVD 4 project or iDVD 4 archive project, it has standard locations it looks for to find the assets and themes used in the project. This is especially important if the project uses custom themes.
    The standard locations that DVD Studio Pro uses are (in this order):
    • iDVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
    • [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
    • [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
    • /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
    configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as having a server networked into your computer.)
    • iDVD application bundle: This is the iDVD application file that contains the default theme elements.
    Note: When you create an archive project in iDVD 4, you can choose to include the themes and encoded files. For the best portability, you should include both options. This results in a larger archive file, but ensures you can take the file to any DVD Studio Pro system and import it without missing assets. If you do not choose to include the themes and encoded files in the archive file, those assets must be available in one of the standard locations.
    If your project will have automatically-created chapter index (scene selection) menus based on markers embedded in the video, it can be easier to create these within iDVD prior to importing the project into DVD Studio Pro. This ensures the chapter index menus use the selected theme’s background and include arrow buttons to navigate between the menus.
    Important: To ensure all iDVD menu elements import correctly into DVD Studio Pro, you must navigate to each chapter index menu within iDVD before saving the project. This is also true for any menus you add to your iDVD project by clicking the Folder button.
    Issues With Importing iDVD Projects
    There are some issues to be aware of when you import iDVD projects:
    • If you import an iDVD project with DVD-ROM content, DVD Studio Pro does not update the settings in the Disc Inspector’s General tab to reflect the DVD-ROM content. You must manually select the DVD-ROM layout and choose the folder to include.
    • When you create a slideshow in iDVD, you can add arrow buttons to each still to provide viewers with an additional method of jumping to the previous and next stills. These arrow buttons are not imported when you import an iDVD project into DVD Studio Pro. The viewer must use the Previous and Next buttons on the DVD player’s remote control to jump between stills.
    • The button highlights used in iDVD may look different when imported into DVD Studio Pro. In most cases, the text in the buttons is set to be included in the highlight. Additionally, buttons that use an underline in iDVD will not have an underline when imported into DVD Studio Pro.
    • When you import an iDVD project, you may find that the button that is highlighted by default on some menus changes. During the project import, DVD Studio Pro numbers the buttons on each menu and highlights button 1 by default. You can assign any button on a menu to be the default button in the Menu tab in the Menu Inspector.
    • If you import an iDVD project that contains a drop zone configured as a slideshow and has multiple slides assigned to it, DVD Studio Pro only shows the slideshow’s first slide in the drop zone.

  • Conversion settings from fcp to dvd studio pro?

    i have a seven minute short subject that i need to burn to dvd using dvd studio pro. before i export from fcp, wanted to double check my fcp export settings with anyone who's been there before.
    here's my choices: export with quicktime conversion, under standard video compression settings choose none for compression, select best quality and choose millions of colors. also no compression for audio.
    i've got to burn six of these suckers for festival screeners and require the best possible quality so i'd appreciate someone letting me know if i'm heading the wrong direction. btw... the dvd burn on a file this size without a menu seems pretty straightforward, but if there's a pitfall i'm not seeing please let me know that as well.
    muchas gracias.

    Dear Wolfman51
    From my personal experience, I find it's much more efficient to export using QUICKTIME MOVIE, a dropdown menu will ask you these questions: SETTING, current settings; INCLUDE, audio and video; MARKERS (up to you)
    uncheck MAKE MOVIE SELF-CONTAINED.
    save it where you can find it. It will do a quick export. Open COMPRESSION, drag this file into the COMPRESSION FOLDER, check your settings (MPEG2) and let compressor compress.
    Then drag this MPEG2 into your DVDSP.
    You can skip using compressor, and drag the uncompressed QTIME straight to DVDSP, it will automatically compress. I found DVDSP doesn't compress it cleanly, therefore chose compressor to compress my movies before importing them into DVDSP.
    I hope this helps, I look forward to reading more postings, perhaps I'm going thru too many steps.

  • DVD Studio Pro won't burn disk

    I have a DVD Studio Pro file that used to burn without a problem, but now it won't at all. I found all of the files necessary, but when I click the burn button, I get a warning:
    The Build Location folder contains a VIDEO_TS folder(standard DVD content).  You must remove the VIDEO_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a HD DVD project.
    I wouldn't know where to find this Build folder anyway. I am not sure what to do at this point.
    Can anyone shed some light?
    I have a 2010 2.66 GHz Macbook Pro Core i7
    Thanks!

    Are you trying to build an HD DVD rather than a standard defintion DVD? I've never tried to build an HD DVD... does that format also use the VIDEO_TS structure?
    A simple alternative to finding and removing the troublesome VIDEO_TS folder is to select a new location for the build -- an empty folder on your desktop, in your documents folder, wherever.
    Or, if the contents and/or design of the disc hasn't changed since the last time you built it, find the current VIDEO_TS folder and use that to burn your disc rather than building it anew.

  • DVD Studio Pro 2 will not burn DVDs

    I have recently upgraded to Leopard. I can now build an entire project in DVD Studio Pro 2. However, when I try to build, format, or build & format a DVD the application will "quit unexpectedly."
    I contacted Apple support and was told to uninstall the program and re-install it. I did that and the problem still exists.
    All of my software has been updated.
    I understand the software is "older" but if it were unsupported software, why can I build an entire project and only have trouble when it comes to transferring it to a DVD?
    My DVD superdrive has been upgraded, and I have burned photo DVDs and CDs with the new burner without any issues.
    Does anybody know what else I can do?

    David,
    I didn't mean to offend you with my frustration with Apple. I understand the need to upgrade operating systems. However, I don't believe that upgrading operating systems should make software obsolute. When Windows changes their operating systems, the programs you have installed on your PC will continue to work.
    Leopard is many interations passed the OS that DVD SP came out and you would have the same issues in Windows with what software runs or not and usually Mac software has a pretty good lifetime. DVD SP has not been sold as stand alone for quite awhile unfortunately. Though I do have some issues with Apple from time to time, this is one of those where I cannot fault them.
    Try Tiger (I am running PS3 on 10.4.11 MacBook Pro with no issues), but make sure to deauthorize your Photosshop 3 before doing anything on the sytem. As to Leopard, I am not a big fan yet, so unless you absolutely need it, you are not missing much yet.

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2 hangs when I go to burn a project

    I was putting together a DVD and had it ready to go. Hit the button to burn and the formatting in progress window came up and started chugging away. I left for 15 minutes. When I got back I had the spinning beach ball and an "Unrecognized Device" error message. I've tried burning a different project that worked a few days ago and got the beach ball again. Also, now I can't open the DVD drawer. I had imported several projects from DVD shortly beforehand, so something I did with Studio Pro has caused this problem.
    There were no weird files in the project. One main QT from FCP with chapter markers, 4 short QT (1 with audio) for the buttons, 4 stories so you can play each chapter by itself and return to the secondary menu, 2 menus. Everything worked fine in the simulator. Everything else in SP still works fine, I can start new projects, until I go to burn, then I get an instant beach ball.
    What I've tried:
    Deleting render files from the project in the cache
    Repairing permissions
    rebooting and holding down mouse  to get the drawer to open, no luck
    When I press the eject button I do get the arrow icon on screen, but there is no noise or indication from the tray that anything is going on
    I do see the drive in disc utility
    DVD player won't let me eject, selection is grayed out
    There is a blank disc in tray, so it doesn't show on screen to try dragging to trash
    I am using an Intel quad core Mac with Snow Leapord and 12 G RAM, have to update profile
    And I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any ideas?

    Seems to me that your DVD burner has died... it happens... The fact that you were using DVD Studio Pro is just a coincidence...  My old iMac and powermac G5 both had their DVD burners replaced.
    Do you have AppleCare? Is it still in warranty? If so, take it in...

  • Export markers from Final Cut Pro X to DVD Studio Pro

    Hello,
    After finding out how to create chapters via markers in Final Cut Pro we wonder how to export these markers to DVD Studio Pro without having to create ourselves a .txt file and writing the names and the times of the markers in it to export it to DVD Studio Pro. Isn't there a way to make this happen automatically?
    Unfortunately the new version of Final Cut Pro doesn't have an export to Quick Time Player and this is why this kind of solution falls out and we really need to create the markers first in Final Cut Pro and not directly in DVD Studio.
    Is there a solution?
    Thank you.

    At present, you cannot add chapter markers in FCP X.
    If you send the project to Compressor, you can add chapter markers there, or you can add them in DVD SP.
    You can add the chapter markers in Compressor or DVD SP manually, or if you create a text file listing the exact timecode positions (from FCP X storyline) where you want the chapter markers to be (each on a new line) Compressor (or DVD SP) will automatically insert the markers when you point it to the text file.

  • Poor image quailty from DVD Studio Pro

    Hello,
    I produced a 17minute DVD a few years ago, shot SD with a Panasonic DVX 100a.  Edited in Final Cut Pro 6.  They have asked me to burn a couple more DVD's for them.  When I imported the assets 2 pass M2v & ac3 audio and burned the DVD with a bit rate of 6.5 to 7. the image quality is really low.  I previously ran all FCP through Compressor, Highest quality, best etc. 
    Someone told me that going back to FCP and using a de-interlacing filter applied to the project would help with image quality.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I know that going to a DVD will never look as good as my sweet 27" monitor, but the image seems blown out (hot) and the colors unsaturated and a bit too grainy.  It seems more so then I remember the project looking. I am using DVD Studio 4.
    So is there any steps that can help me have a SD project edited in Final Cut Pro 6... use Compressor... 2 pass highest quailty 90 min DVD... to DVD Studio Pro 4 and get the best quality I can get.  I appreciate any guidance you can give me.
    Thanks,
    Jan

    You may find that Photoshop does a better job of resampling down to your SD PAL resolution. When DVDSP resamples down from your 1024x576 file, you are at the mercy of the hardware or software rendering in DVDSP, depending on your DVDSP prefs. Ideally, I'd work in Photoshop at 720x576, and use the pixel aspect ratio correction to correct the preview aspect ratio in Photoshop.

    I am at my wits end, can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm not an expert, but have recently had similar problems with graphics that had text, black lines, lots of contrast, and movement. They looked great on HD but when I made a SD DVD, they were very blocky and pixellated - completely unusable. After lots of experimentation, I've finally got an acceptable dvd. Went back to my original shots - in Final Cut, (I'm not sure if you can do this in Motion) and carefully applied a little Gaussian Blur (.25 to1) to each according to how badly they pixellated. Also adjusted blacks and whites so they weren't so contrasty. Then made my mpeg with Compressor - two pass vbr, 6.8 mbps, best motion estimator. The Gaussian Blur seems to break up the areas that get blocked up and pixelated. SD dvd is such a lousy low resolution medium anyway, that it doesn't seem to result in any focus problems and helped most shots - I've even gone back and applied it to some of the regular footage that was pixellating. It was a lot of work, you may want to see if an expert weighs in on this.

  • Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

    Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.

  • DVD Studio Pro: is it possible to burn unusual resolution video on DVD?

    Hello All,
    FCP 0.6,
    DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1
    Compressor 3.0.5
    I have a short that has a resolution 1920 x 650 px (it is a split screen video). I am trying to burn it to DVD by using DVD Studio Pro. I tried to export the film from FCP by using Compressor. I customized the DVD Best quality: 90 min setting to "letterbox the area of source" in "Geometry" tab, but the result looks like the resolution is not preserved but conformed to the DVD and the image looks squished. I know I have long trip on this subject but I would love to learn if this is at all possible.
    I know of software called: Popcorn from Roxio that supposedly burns anything into DVD. I dont know if I should bother installing and trying..?
    Should I experiment with Anamorphic DVD (does a standard DVD player read those)?
    Please help and thank you,
    Izabela

    The short answer is, unfortunately, no.  The DVD standard is 720x480, either 4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic.  If you do the math, you'll note you'll be looking at a LOT of black screen as you interpolate the 1920 down to 720, even if it's anamorphic.

  • DVD studio pro will not burn menus PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi
    FIRST check that your Play Movie button in your menu has NOT an Auto Action selected that make it plays automatically your movie when the Menu loads. You'll find that setting in the Advanced tab of Inspector. If not . . .
    You can try a workaround, no matter that if you have your Menu as First Play it must work. Try yhis:
    - Create a simple black JPG file i.e. in Photoshop
    - Create a Slideshow
    - Add a the JPG to the slideshow, set duration 2 secs
    - Set the Slideshow as First Play
    - Set Slideshow End Jump to your Main Menu
    Build and burn again.
