Dvd Studio Pro Build Error
I never had a problem authoring a dvd until tonight. I exported a 30 minute file out of final cut then imported the file into dvd studio pro. I have set my encode bit rate to 6.6 and 7.8(max). I set the "first play" to be the track and when I click burn dvd I get "Compiler File Error" please see log. Any one have any ideas what the issue is? This was supposed to be an easy project, errrrr! Any information would be greatly appreciated. screen shots attached Curt C.

Once was while using a files from a usb key, and the another time was when my project files were scattered around my hard drive. After centralizing all my files in one location on my hard drive (in both situations) it fixed the problem. Not sure if that helps or not. I've also heard about this problem in imacs due to memory leaks. I think the fix for that was to just build it to your hard drive and not click burn. Instead burn with toast. Are you clicking burn or build? Or have you tried both?

I typically just click burn and it builds on its own then burns afterwords...I'm not familiar with any other method to be honest.

Cheers Alexander Reply Quote Re: "Compiler File Error" IN DVD studio Pro (February 26, 2009 06:28PM) cchampag Well, A dvd I sent out last week that was succesful;did not have a menu on it. I formatted it the same way as the one I am doing tonight. I did try to burn another dvd of the one that was succesful from last week and I still get compiler filer error. I am moving the .mov file to my desktop now to see if its my drive. or Maybe dvd studio pro file is corrupted...

Is there a similar method of doing this for DVD studio pro? Reply Quote

Simulating the project works fine, but not the burn. Out of curiosity, I tried to burn the same project on my MacBook Pro and it worked fine, running the same version on FCP Studio 2. Any suggestions?

I had to select build/format, as it was only on build. Thank you for replying - I'm most grateful. Comment Post Cancel Kia M.

• DVD Studio Pro: Burn Vs. Build/Format by Cade Loven on Jan 17, 2012 at 4:52:23 pm Hello friends, Because DVD Studio Pro will not allow me to adjust the burn speed, my next option is to click "Build/Format" to create a disc image and then use https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/55/865872 Toast to burn the DVD itself. Nothing new here. However, many of the projects I attempt this workflow with end up with an unhelpful "formatting failed" message after successful muxing with no indication of what the problem is. Not all projects bring up this error--but many do. Sometimes the problem fixes itself--restarting the computer or otherwise praying to the computer gods. But sometimes this doesn't work. Here's the real frustration: if I capitulate on the burn speed issue, and use dvd studio DVD Studio Pro to burn the disc, the formatting process proceeds without error. This has been repeated without variance, but the quality of the burns at high speeds is not good enough so I need an alternative solution. WHY is it that the formatting fails when creating a disc image but not when burning with DVD Studio Pro? I'm frankly stumped. Thank you for any help.Return to posts indexReport Post •Re: DVD Studio Pro: Burn Vs. Build/Formatby Filip Kubiš on Jan dvd studio pro 17, 2012 at 5:29:54 pmWhat I do and consider to be the best way is: 1. Buld project 1a. Test it one more in DVD player 2. Format project (burn it via DVDSP) 2a. I always turn off losless linking and I never had any error burning it. DO NOT USE Build&Format option. Just dont ;-) But many guys will tell you (and I agree with them) they Build it in DVDSP and than use Toaster titanium. Hovere some will tell you they always use 4x or 8x no matter what is the DVD default speed and they will say they never had any problem. And some will argue DVD is supposed to be burned on its maximum speed ;-) So choose. But as for me DVD-R (never +R) Butild, Test, Format (no losless linking) I have not once get an error or failing master. It is slow, but speed is the last thing you need when authoring ;-) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ DVD bitrate calculator: HERE DVD Bit Budgeting tool: HERE Dual-Layer Break tutorial: HERE Anti-aliasing PS plugin: HERE Other very useful stuff: HERE DVDSP Manual: HEREReturn to posts indexReport Post•Re: DVD Studio Pro: Burn Vs.
