What web design software is equivalent to dvd studio pro?

is there a program that someone uses thats functionality is based on dvd studio pro?

That's an odd question.
Web design is vastly different to DVD authoring - chalk and cheese, really. If you are after a web development platform that allows events to happen on a timeline basis, then Dreamweaver will do this. It also allows for navigational links to be set up that go to any part of a web site.
But then, so do most web development environments worth looking at... what exactly is it that you are after?

  • Toast vs DVD Studio Pro

    I've created a DVD in Studio Pro. Will the quality be better if I make a copy using Toast or is the quailty the same? What gives the best quailty: buring in DVD Studio Pro or buring the DVD in toast?

    Rob:
    Wellcome to the forum !
    ill the quality be better if I make a copy using Toast
    If you just use Toast to burn or copy your project, the quality will be the same . . . you are just duplicating your disc.
    What gives the best quailty: buring in DVD Studio Pro or buring the DVD in toast
    I don't know any quality difference burning your project in any of both ways, as far you don't make any mistake!
    If you create an img file in your hard drive from DVDSP , you can use that file to burn all copies you want in Toast and can be sure all will be exact copies.
    Hope it helps!

  • DVD Studio Pro not importing files

    I am using FCP 6.0.1 and trying to import files from compressor to DVD Studio Pro.
    I am able to import mp4 files using the latest version of compressor, however unable to import mv2 (mpeg2) files. Also I am only able to import certain mp4 files but not all.
    Typically, I used FCP to directly output the files into mv2 files- and those are able to be imported by DVDSP. However, if I use compressor, then the files don't import.
    Anyone know what's going on and why my DVD Studio Pro is so picky?

    Not really what you want to hear I suppose but maybe invest in a test system to tryout updates before updating crucial systems. Not sure leaving Windows will solve all your problems...
    I am running FCS2 on a MacPro and everything is holding up ok so far, its actually running a lot better after the updates touch wood.
    Hope you get some answers to help you out. Have you tried other assets to make sure the assests aren't the problem? and so on...

  • Novice DVD Studio Pro user - need few tips

    Hi,
    I've started with a task of creating a simple DVD with DVD Studio Pro 4. Task that has been shown a bit over my head for now.
    Recently I created a DVD with iDVD and it worked nicely, but I wanted more hands on approach. I was supprised that DVD studio cant accept .m4v files and MPEG2 files. But in the program specs, in the Import FAQ section it says it can. So I don't know what video file to use.
    Here are my biggest concerns when creating this DVD.
    I have one menu. I have set a background photo for it, its 1920x1080 for 1080 HD video.
    Should I go with max HD video, or use Standard Definition video instead?
    I have already created my videos in m4v format. What do I need to do, so DVD Studio Pro 4 would read them? To mention this, I have converted them using VisualHub to MPEG-2, but DVD Studio Pro 4 refused to import them, clamming that they are not supported.
    On that one menu, I want to have 6 buttons, that are actually a little pictures (stills from video, that I have already taken from video, and resized them in photoshop, and exported them as JPEG). How can I create buttons from those little JPEGS. One image for one button that will play one video.
    In the end, I was thinking putting a little opening video before main menu showed. Video for about 5-6 seconds and then menu would show up. How can I do this? Is there some trick in Outline and Inspector that I should do? And also, what video (its tied with first question)?
    I appreciate any help or reply. If you cant write everything down, please direct me to some tutorial or training video/site where I can get some answers.

    You should be making m2vs (without audio in them, in other words not multiplexed) for SD DVDs (which is what you are going for it sounds like.) MPEG-4 is compressed so you wind up recompressing.
    Use Pro Res to send out a self contained movie from FCP or send the timeline straight from Final Cut to Compressor an preset (or one that you make yourself.) I prefer sending out self-contained versions in case I need to re-rencode or want to make items for various formats.
    Movie setting up Compressor is [here|http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/compressor.mov]
    Now there are geenerally two types of DVDs - SD (which is pretty much everything out there, except for blu-ray and the defunct HD DVD) and the HD ones. SD discs will play on anything for the most part and you can use HD video in making SD discs. When converting from HD sources, set up Compressor to tweak frame controls for resizing to better. Make sure aspect is 16:9 and when you put in the track set it for 16:9 Letterbox, not 16:9 pan and scan or pan and sacn letterbox.
    As to menus check [this thread out|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11253338#11253338] for a real quick overview - sounds like you would probably want to composite the menu in Motion.
    As to starting the movie, set the first play to the clip you want (which is a good idea in general - start with some video and not and menu) then set the jump from the track to your main menu.
    Check out the bits and pieces posted [here|http://dvdstepbystep.com] there are alot of little things I put in there which can help you along and narrow down some things where you may have questions.
    Also looking at the tutorials and manuals will also give you alot of the information, but the above should jumpstart you and help get you past some of the intial hurdles.

  • 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.

  • Film Export problem - DVD Studio Pro 4!

    I have a problem when exporting my dvd as .img file.
    The protokoll says (in german): Achtung: Die Datei „NAME-MPEG-2; 6,4 MBit/s; 2-Pass; 4/3.m2v“ im VIDEO_TS- oder HVDVD_TS-Ordner ist auf der fertiggestellten DVD nicht enthalten.
    means the original file is not included. what can i do?
    In my dvd studio pro document all data is imported and green light.
    Need help!

    It is probably a standard warning message to say that the file is not included in the video_ts folder - which is quite alright... you don't want that in there. When the video_ts folder is created it should only contain .vob, .bup and .ifo files. Anything else is technically 'illegal' to be contained there, and will be omitted.
    Does your burn complete? Can you play the disc?

  • What's a good web design software to use with hype.

    I didn't have luck with sandvox, rapid weaver, or highway. It seems that iWeb is gone and im trying to transition into a diffrent html5 compatible web software. I would like to learn web coding but for now i need a quick and efficiant transsition. I've came across Hype and its great but iWeb can use it. I would love to hear some suggestions on what everyone else is using (not including previously mentioned apps).

    No, iWeb has not gone anywhere.  It is correct that Apple no longer sells it or supports it, but iWeb is an application like any other on your mac and if you have it you can most definitely still continue to use it.  It works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion and by all accounts, it will work with the new Mavericks too.
    You can do a search of this site and there are literally hundreds of posts on the same topic of new web design software, but you can take a look at Flux 4, Freeway Pro/Express 6, WebAcappella 4 and Quck n Easy Website Builder.  Other than that, you are then looking at Content Management Systems such as Joomla and WordPress.
    You can also take a look at EasyWeb which is a new app being developed by Rage Software - it has not been released yet and is still in its beta testing stage, but this is closer to iWeb than most.

  • Web design software for Mac?

    What is the best/easiest web design software for OSX Panther -- freeware/shareware or retail? I have a simple site I update once in a while (currently using an ancient copy of AOLPress on my old G3), so I don't need anything elaborate.
    Thanks very much --
    Christine

    iWeb is probably the best easy-to-use, very simple, good looking and W3 validated code producing  application out there.
    It does allow you to export your data and upload via FTP, yet Apple is definitely trying to sell a few more .Mac memberships.
    NVU is quite good for more complex websites.
    If you're looking for a very efficient way of administrating your website, adding new content and all kinds of features, check out Joomla, a Content Management System . You do however need a server that supports php and MySQL.

  • What software does apple have to replace DVD Studio Pro

    what software does apple have to replace DVD Studio Pro. have a new imac 27" late 2012 and after data transfer DVD Studio Pro does not work. What can I do? Would it be advisable to go back on the OS to a older vision OS Where DVD Studio Pro was working? Help!!!

    Afraid they don't have anything to replace DVD SP. Your alternatives are Adobe Encore (which is EOL) or Toast, or IDVD (which can still be found in boxed sets of iLife).
    But getting back to DVD SP and your data transfer, what do you mean by that? What exactly did you do and what happened with the application? I'm running it on 10.7 and it works, but it's from the FCS3 suite; is yours FCS2?.

  • Web design software

    Hi
    i am new to an imac desktop. I am looking for some web design software to buy that kets you drag and drop like iweb, but also has the ability to do code aswell. Dreamweaver is too expensive so was looking for something a bit cheaper. I have been looking at rapid weaver which looks ok but dont know anyone thats used it. Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated
    thanks
    Jamie

    Hi,
    I have Rapidweaver. It’s fine, cheap (U$ 79,00) but "limited". You can´t compare it to dreamweaver. Rapidweaver offers a demo ride. You can try it http://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/
    Have you heard about Joomla!? It´s free and depending of your needs, it can help.

  • Web Design software for 10.2 ish

    Hey all,
    really need some help for one of my friends. She has an ibook, the one that followed the coloured ones. Currently running 10.2 I believe and I need to find her some web design software. Something similar to Rapidweaver would be great as they've told me they have never supported 10.2.
    I think dreamweaver is a little overkill for her but if thats the best option then such is life! Will dreamweaver MX work on 10.2?
    Thanks
    Noel

    Freeway Express works with 10.2.8 or higher. Stone Studio's Create works with 10.1 or higher. NVU (a free WYSIWYG editor based on the Netscape/Mozilla editor) is compatible with 10.1.5 or higher. Macromedia's Contribute is compatible with 10.2.8 or higher.

  • HT1338 i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this  "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

    i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this  "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

    I note this information from Wikipedia: "DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by Apple Inc. to allow users to create DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take Final Cut Pro and Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead."
    If that is your intent, finding a substitute program that will run on your Mac may not be as efficient.  Others can advise you on alternatives, or you can post a new thread specifically with that question.
    BTW: what Mac and what version of OS X?
    If it is important to you to continue to use DVD Studio Pro, consider the option of installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels on your Mac:

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 (a stand alone product)?  Need advice purchasing BD authoring software

    According to Wiki, DVD STUDIO PRO-4 came with the "creative suite" that was discontinued by Apple in 2006. 
    In 2003-2005 I used DVD Studio Pro-2.  That was THEN.
    Now I have now an overkill PowerMac G5, FCPX, and Compressor-4.   My question is what software can I purchase that will burn BLU-RAY disks and give me some menues like DVD Studio Pro?
    Thanks
    -Dale

    Okay, I remember the days back in 2003 when using FCP4, DVD Studio2, and Compressor2 there was lots of hoopla about creating great videos -- then (at that time) Apple had no respectable DVD player software -- now (Lion) has DVD player.
    In like manner, we have all this hoopla about FCPX, Compressor4, Motion5 --- and no Blu-Ray (BD) authoring software.   If Apple is worth its salt and has their marketing folks read these forums, seems like SOMEBODY would finally GET IT.   This is like building a Rolls Royce without a muffler.
    Well, I've answered my own question.   I purchased TOAST-11 to read MTS files to discover it also authors BD.  By clicking "create BD disk" you'll be prompted to purchase & download a $20 plugin.   Does a GREAT job with menus.  Just drag your video & audio files (from compressor) and that's it.
    BTY- all the "stink" around FCPX about not being able to import MTS files from disk (this is like building a Ferrari without a gas tank).  Tom W gave a great suggestion to use a product called CLIPWRAP ($50).  So I bought it (converts MTS to MOV without data loss).

  • July 2014 Blu-Ray Authoring Software comparable to DVD Studio Pro

    Well, there have been a number of threads related to this question. The biggest problem with ALL of those threads is they get high jacked with people OPINIONS about the need to author Blu-Ray. SO let me start by saying if you intend to replay with "just use a dvd" or "no one uses blu-ray make downloadable content" or whatever your personal opinion is as to why I shouldn't need to author custom Blu-Rays like I could with DVD Studio Pro (DVDSP),  Don't bother posting in this thread. I have a legitimate need with a focused purpose and currently have not found a tool that allows me to do what I need for my business. Although I am getting by with available tools, I am not happy with the product I am giving to customers.
    What I would like to find is a blu-ray authoring tool that allows from more than a basic menu and play function. In particular I need my blu-ray to play a short video before showing the menu. In DVDSP, this can be done very easily, but obviously its not HD.
    If you know of a current tool, ideally MAC compatible but I am open to a good PC tool. That allows for blue-ray authoring beyond very basic menus like please share it.
    Current Software I have tried that don't fit the bill:
    Roxio Toast 11 :  only allows for very basic menus
    FCPX: Again only basic menu.
    Compressor: Even Less...
    I don't mind spending a a bit on a known good tool, but I don't really want to spend 3000$ to do this simple task either.
    Thanks so much for anyone that shares useful information!

    I believe Encore is the best option after all my research. It is available once you subscribe to the new Adobe Creative Cloud.
    I will say one thing that has worked for me as a blu-ray alternative, is to export the videos into a AppleTV/ iPhone / iPad compatible format (MPEG-4  .m4v) from FinalCut or QuickTime. The format is also windows compatible so it works regardless of the customers computer preference. A number of dvd / blu-ray players also support the m4v format.
    I do wish that there was a good Blu-Ray authoring tool for MAC outside of Encore but at least Encore exist for the time being. I do find it interesting that Adobe also chose not to offer an authoring tool in their latest creative suite. If you can afford the 3k the Sony tool is pretty amazing FYI, even though its only PC.
