Hi everyone!
I am trying to burn a QT in DVD Studio Pro into a DVD. I already did it before and I had no problem but suddenly I am getting this message:
"The Build Location folder contains a HVDVD_TS folder(HD DVD content). You must remove the HVDVD_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a Standard DVD project"
I went to Build/Format and also to preferences to set manually the folder to SDDVD_TS. But I can't find it! I only have the HVDVD_TS folder to choose...do you know what is happening???

What does it say in the Inspector when you when have the disc selected? (click any of the empty gray part) The preferences do not reflex have you have but what you will have.

I don't know what is supposed to say in the inspector...when i click on the sequence it shows the "video clip" window...with the size file etc and clicking the track it shows the "track" window with res and display mode..
I set the resolution to 720X480i, is that a problem? should i set at 720X480p?

The inspector changes depending on what you have selected. You need to select the Disc, you do this in graphical view and click on the gray background. Then Disc is be displayed in the top of the Inspector, then what is the DVD Standard set as.

ok, i just did what you said, it's set to "video standard" and it doesn't let me put DVD SD on DVD standard, i can't edit that. why?? the project is set to SD DVD...

Ok, I'm not trying to sound harsh but your project is a HD DVD project, somewhere along the way you clicked on that settings. There is NO way back to SD, you have to rebuild the project.
You need to be a little more precise about your descriptions, they don't make sense. Nothing is "SET" to Video Standard, Video Standard is a line description and the setting is either SD or HD DVD, after it is set to HD DVD it becomes grayed out because you cannot change it back to SD.
Once again your project may have started out as SD but it is now HD, which can have both HD and SD material in it, but it will not play on a standard DVD player anymore. How did it change, you got 3 options, 1) you unknowingly changed it at some point. 2) someone else came in and changed it on you. 3) the program did it all by itself. #3 is highly unlikely.
No shame in making a mistake, we all do it, in fact I think I made one a couple of years back. :-)

YES...sorry if i am not so precise with my explanations, you are right,i should be more careful!!
well...I made a new project as before set to SD DVD, and when i go to burn I still get the same message:
"The Build Location folder contains a HVDVD_TS folder(HD DVD content). You must remove the HVDVD_TS folder from the Build Location in order to proceed with Build/Format of a Standard DVD project."
I just checked what you told me and now for sure is SD DVD NTSC. no mistake on that now.
so...why do I get this message and why I can't find the SDDVD_TS folder??
sorry if I am still here...I am startin gto get a bit frustrated..

The previous project built in this copy of DVDSP was an HD-DVD. Now that you are trying to create a DVD, DVDSP can't do the build until the HDDVD_TS folder left over from the previous project is deleted from the Build folder. Jusr delete everything in that folder, and you will be good to go.

Hi bill, thank you.
But my problem is that I can't delete the HVDVD_TS in the built folder!! I try to look for files HDDVD_TS in my computer (finder in harddrive) and I can' t find them.
Even if I create a new project ALL IN SDDVD, when I open the Build window in Studio Pro it shows me a DVD Studio files folder with HDDVD and SDDVD folders on it (I created SDDVD myself following a suggestion, but it was not there). But at this step I can't delete the HD folder, I select the SD, but is still a problem because the HD is still there...
