This discussion is locked elizabwc Level 1 (0 points) Q: DVD Studio Pro: Compiler File Error Hi there,I'm running DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8, and until now, I've been successfully burning DVD projects. But suddenly, when I try to burn a DVD, I keep getting a message stating that the "build failed" due to a "compiler file error." Any clue how to solve this? My sound file is a .ac3, and my video is a .m2v.Thanks!

Generally, you should try renaming your m2v and then re-importing it and setting it into the track it is in. Also, try trashing the PAR files (check your preferences for the location of these) which get created when you import an asset.Finally, try simply re-encoding the footage and going from there (add a new name for it too...)

I having been trying to compress and burn it to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2353193?tstart=0 a DVD with great frustration and difficulty. I've been able to create a .mov and burned to a CD with no problems, but the non profit I created it for would like it on a DVD. I don't need chapters or titles. Just a simple first play. I have followed on-line tutorials, including the one posted here by Larry Jordan. But part way through the burn and format process, http://www.lafcpug.org/phorum/read.php?5,257910,258032 I get the same error: "Formatting failed. The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error. (0x0C, 0x00.)" I have tried two different brands of DVD, and several different DVDs thinking at first it may have been a dud. I have tried two different methods of compression. Using compressor, and letting DVD SP do the compressing. Both ways get me up to the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to ask around at the DV Expo this week, but it was a little overwhelming.

This will create a disk image that you can open up in Disk Utility and burn from there. But be aware that this error can sometimes indicate a phys
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 http://www.kenstone.net/discussions/read.php?3,9486,9497 click burn dvd I get "Compiler File Error" please see log. Any one have any ideas what the http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dual_layer_media_gary.html 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 dvd studio 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? Reply Quote Re: "Compiler File Error" IN DVD studio Pro (February 26, 2009 06:46PM) cchampag well, I don't have toast so I guess dvd studio pro I can't try that. 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. Reply Quote Re: "Compiler File Error" IN DVD studio Pro (February 26, 2009 05:55PM) Alexander Did you add a menu? This is required even though it is not built or used as first play. 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... Reply Quote Re: "Compiler File Error" IN DVD studio Pro (February 26, 2009 06:50PM) cchampag In the past, I have followed Kens steps to trash FCP preferences. Is there a similar method of doing this for DVD studio pro? Reply Quote Re: "Compiler File Error" IN DVD studio Pro (February 26, 2009 10:42PM) jlcinc you don't have to have a menu on your dvd if you set first play to the track.

two dual layer burners so there's never been a better time to access double the space on DVD discs. DVD media comes in two basic sizes, DVD-5 and DVD-9, and two basic forms-DVD-R and DVD+R. The more exotic forms, such as DVD 10s and DVD 18, are two-sided combinations of the basic DVD media. The main distinction between DVD-5s and DVD-9s is storage capacity. However, a lot of confusion surrounds this very simple distinction. On the label, DVD-5s display their capacity as 4.7 gigabytes, but when you burn a DVD-5 on your Mac, it can only contain 4.3 gigabytes of data. Many rumors have floated around the Internet regarding this discrepancy, including my favorite: the discs were supposed to be 4.7 gigs, but the manufacturer screwed up and, since they had already printed the labels, they just decided to leave it. And just decided to keep on leaving it too, I guess. The truth of the matter is that both capacities - 4.7 gigabytes and 4.3 gigabytes (strictly speaking, the actual capacity is between 4.3 and 4.4 gigabytes)--are correct. The discrepancy arises in how those numbers are derived. DVD manufacturers of both single- and dual-layer media use a decimal byte system in which 1000 bytes equal a kilobyte. Hard drives and operating systems (such as Mac OS X) use a binary numbering system in which 1024 bytes equal a kilobyte. When spread over a couple of kilobytes, that difference is negligible; but as you increase the kilobytes, the difference snowballs. In the four gigabyte range, the difference between decimal and binary calculation equals over 300 megabytes of data that the label says you can access, but your Mac says you can't. It's important to note that DVD Studio Pro uses the 1000 bytes per kilobyte system when estimating disc capacities. If you format your DVD to an image file and then use either Toast or Disk Utility to burn the DVD your break point will be arbitrarily set because those utilities cannot read the Layout File created by DVDSP during formatting. To ensure proper placement, burn to DVD from within DVDSP. This article covers the use of dual-layer media for Dual Layer DVDs, as well as using Dual Layer DVD-ROMs for data storage. Dual-layer media is just that: two layers of the recording dye, each backed by a semitransparent metal reflector and separated by a polycarbonate spacer. The top layer is called Layer 0 and the inner layer is called Layer 1. The lasers on both the burners and players have to refocus when switching from the outer to inner layer. On DVD-ROMs, jumping from one layer to the
