DVDSP4 Keeps Crashing When I try and BUILD...Same as Mike Brown on Earlier Thread...

Hi
I am having the same issues as Mike Brown....DVDSP4 keeps crashing when I try and BUILD & Format.

I've emptied the PREF and all that and it still crashes.


As an event, I have 40 chapter markers.

I export as QT Movie

Go to Compressor

Open DVDSP4 and use CITY COVER (Times Square)

I build everything and then send off to IMAGE BURN and it crashes always at around 39%


I worked backwards by creating a copy of the 2 hr into a 6 min segment and each time took something away from the TIMELINE….and did everything out again to build in DVDSP and it crashed again and again.

I called APPLE…spoke to someone in DVDSP support which no longer exists, but DAVE was nice enough to suggest, which was my next route, to getting rid of PLIST corruption.

So I went to LIBRARY - and emptied everything related to DVDSP found in CACHE - PREFERENCES - APPLICATION SUPPORT - SAVED APPLICATION STATE

He said that should clear up the issue.

Tried it again and it crashed.

It plays in FCP…works in QT….goes through COMPRESSOR, builds in DVDSP, PLAYS in DVDSP….but will not BUILD an IMAGE.

I'm out of ideas. I rebuilt another dvd project and it did fine….I asked everything saved in that DVDSP project to IMAGE BUILD and it did to success.

How do I get in contact with Mike Brown as he went through this issue to success ?

I've rebuilt it with only a 6 minute version and it still crashes...so I've done that and nothing...any other ideas will be greatly appreciated...

Hi
The project that I tried and went through was another project that was already built. I sent it out through BUILD and FORMAT to see if there was any corruption in DVDSP. It was a different template and went all the way through cleanly.

Ill try and take THAT template and take out the video and replace it with the video in questions and see if it survives.

I was also told from the next thread to try and BUILD with not FORMAT. I'll see what happens...

THANK YOU
Dick

Hi Kylee

I've never done it that way.....without formatting. What does it give you ? Will I get the DVD template ready to burn to a disk ?

Someone else said to burn from DVDSP. I've never thought of that, but don't I have to BUILD or BUILT & FORMAT before ?

Don't I have to go through DISK UTILITIES to burn the disk ?

These are all great options....I'll try them all....but never having done them, so we'll see if I screw it up....

Thanks Kylee

Why are you not burning directly out of DVDSP?

Cheers

Hi Alex and Kylee

I just tried to BURN from DVDSP once the project was built and it CRASHED in the same place at 29%. I am running out of suggestions.....and ideas....HERE is the REPORT on what is FAILED. If anyone knows how to read this, maybe I can find out what is corrupted.

Thanks

In all this, are you using the same asset? Have tried re encoding a new piece?

You need to look in tbe build log in DVDSP and tell at what point it crashes

Thanks Kylee......someone suggested that I change my SEQUENCE EXPORT codec to 8 bit uncompressed.

From there, I loaded it into DVDSP, built the template and sent it out to IMAGE BUILD & FORMAT.....and it did so cleanly, successfully.

I am now burning a dvd to see if it goes all the way.

Kylee, I will try your suggestion of BUILD FIRST, then do FORMAT.

When it is time to BURN, I use Disk Utility.

Thank you everyone for your help....I was lost on a FIRST TIME blow up on DVDSP4. I guess I have been very lucky up till now.

I'll POST one last time when I do it for a second time with success......hopefully, this thread will act as a road map for anyone else having similar issues.

hmmmm...i was having the same crash problem, so tried a "build" (only) first, then "format" (to disc) and no crashing...but i've NEVER done it that way before. Always done "build/format" usually with no problems...

side note here: i'm just doing my first "PLAY ALL" option with stories, and putting all 4 video clips into one track has caused them to be slightly out of sync upon playing the DVD. any ideas?

thanks for helping out a bonehead!
