    I’m having some weird problems with DVDSP, and I’m thinking about updating everything that is showing up in my Software Update. I searched posts and read about some problems with old Avid QuickTime codecs, and I feel that I can locate and remove those if they become a problem.

    But are there any other problems any of you have ran into with any of the Apple Pro-Aps after this update? I should also mention that I’m running Kona hardware (LH) and we use Facillis Terrablock (24D) for storage, so any issues that relate to those products would be great to know about.

    Thanks for any help!

    I think you’re good to go with the updates… But if you haven’t rebuilt your startup disk in a while…it’s maybe time… the DVD SP problem is a case in point… What sort of problems are you experiencing with it?

    Hi Jerry,

    I had posted the following in the DVDSP forum that describes my problem:

    “OK, now I am having the exact same problem here. First of all I am encoding with Compressor (CBR 6.5) which I have used for about the past three years. So when I go into DVDSP, my assets are already encoded. Very early in the build process it will error out saying “Video Bitrate too high.” in the log. I have DVDSP prefs set to encode at 5.0 One-pass just to try to get around the problem (I think DVDSP is still encoding my transitions) and even with that low bit-rate, and NO audio, it is erroring out.

    This is only happening on my system here, the other 3 seem to still work.

    Can someone give me the path to where I can delete my DVDSP prefs? I have deleted the .plist one but the problem remains.”

    I’m hoping that updating will work this out. The system I’m on is only 6 months old or so.

    Thanks for your help!

    How long is the program? If it’s longer than will fit on the DVD… you might get that error… there’s a meter for this you can add to see how how much space is being used… control click on the header to pull up the customization for the buttons there.. might help?
