Dvd Studio Pro Import Error

This discussion is locked mvdanj Level 1 (0 points) Q: Incompatible Format Errors in DVD Studio Pro Recently dvd studio pro import assets incompatible format read the manual for DVD Studio Pro but am having some problems. Here dvd studio pro incompatible format mpeg 2 it goes.First issue - I am making a SD DVD. My video assets are Quicktime Files (codec: H.264) at dvd studio pro tutorial 720x480 29.97p. When I try to import I get the incompatible format error. What am I missing?Second issue - I tried making a program stream MPEG 2 (with the assumption that the dvd studio pro only importing audio Integrated MPEG encoder would convert to elementary stream). So I went to Compressor with my timeline straight from Final Cut, submitted the batch (not changing any settings except from "Two Pass VBR" to "One Pass VBR" because my video doesn't have much motion), but when I tried importing the file, I received the incompatible format error. I've scoured the DVD Studio Manual for clues, as well as forums here and elsewhere but have found nothing. In the manual it says that "if you import a QT file asset whose video standard is different from the project's current setting, the Integrated MPEG encoder automatically transcodes the asset to the project's video standard while encoding it." Are there exceptions to this? (like if the scan type is progressive or audio codec is AAC?) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also when I see the manual pdf file, there is some audio-video select option in the import window, but I can't find this option at all. Am i doing something wrong? Please somebody help me.....

Was it originally encoded at 720x480? If it wasn't that's why DVD Studio Pro isn't recognizing it. I use this format to put 2 movies on one cheap $1.95 DVD-r with great results. Quote 24th Oct 200208:17 #4 Macnewbie View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Member Join Date : Sep 2002 When you drag the m2v file to the assets window, what is the error that pops up? If it's "bad format" this can be fixed by running the m2v file through a program called MPEGAppend. A 7-day trial version is available here: http://homepage.mac.com/DVD_SP_Helper/Commerical/MAOSuX.html Quote 24th Oct 200209:48 #5 AntnyMD View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Member Join Date : Jun 2001 Location : Silver Spring, MD USA In actuality, DVD Studio Pro is rejecting your m2v file because it is either not encoded in a DVD spec resolution, or it has been encoded with open GOPs and/or the GOP size is greater than 18. For the record, ffmpegX makes DVD-compliant MPEG-2 video when using the generic MPEG2 setting (provided you key in a valid resolution).

Any ideas as to why? Is there a particular setting/preset in SoundCode I should be using for DVD Studio Pro? I've looked around for DVD SP AC3 specs but haven't found them. Files made in compressor seem to work fine.

Make sure the bit rate is not higher than 448 kbps (the max for DVD). And make sure the "normal" or "normal+timecode" AC3 file format is used. Please send me any and all info about the AC3 file and I will help you solve this problem.

rgo Hi Ken I am building a Dance Recital video. Show one went smooth Show two has continued to crash with the error message - "Video Bit Rate Too High" I don't think I've done anything different. In fact, building these DVDs like this have been simple and smooth until now. 1. Changed the Bit Rate in the DVDSP4 twice, no 3 times, same ERROR 2. Changed the Bit Rate in Compressor 4 a couple of times...same error message. 3. Don't know if this error begins inside of FCP X, but why would this be so, when SHOW 1 went smooth....same gear...same same. Any ideas out there ? I am out of it. I tried 2 different DVDSP templates, same error message. Thanks Ken Dick Osso Reply Quote Re: DVDSP Error Message - "Video Bit Rate Too High" Out of Ideas (July 08, 2014 03:04AM) rgo Hi Ken It was the AUDIO. Strange, as the other DVDs all did the same thing and never failed, yet this one did. By changing the AIFF audio to AAC audio, it worked.

AIFF is a VBR audio codec and some AIFF files can produce maximum Bit Rate peaks that are way beyond the highest Bit Rate that is accepted by the DVD specification (which is 20 years old BTW). When you import such an audio file in a DVDSP project DVDSP will refuse to build the project and it will produce this "Video Bit Rate Too High" message that actually does not mean anything. The solution is to convert the problematic AIFF file (or any external AIFF audio files for that matter) to AAC, which has a much lower Bit Rate than AIFF. You can create 500 projects using AIFF files
