DVD created with iDVD from Blackmagic 8bit timeline, picture tears with fast motion

[isoprophlex] “IDVD is perfect though for laying off rough cuts fast.”

Actually, the easiest way to lay off a rough cut for a client or producer is to use a DVD Recorder. I have the Philips DVDR-75 which takes a feed directly out of my system. Just hit play in FCP and hit Record on the DVD Recorder.

Considered it, and i do have one. Didn’t feel like getting one for every single edit room at this point, considering iDVD is supposed to work.

Walter…

Let ask you, how do you export to DVDSP using MPEG-2 in FCP 5? I have Final Cut Studio and I haven’t found an option to export in MPEG-2 for DVD.

This option magically disappeared a number of os/fcp revisions ago. We do a direct Export > Quicktime Movie, then let idvd or dvdsp do the conversion for us.

This field issue seems to be a FCP problem over iDVD or DVDSP, since it is widespread:

There is a thread in the DVDSP forum –

I’ve had this annoying problem for awhile now. I’m using Blackmagic HD pro and we’ve worked with
idvd and dvdstudio pro for a long time. We did a show for the paris air show and we couldn’t understand why on some of the fast movement the video looked like crap. I actually saw a local tv ad the other day
on tv that visibly had the same problem. Your breaking my balls apple. Get your sh*t together.

Hi there,

I read your post from last August – you had a problem with an error message iDVD gave you about incompatible format while trying to burn a dvd. You said you exported a quicktime movie from a FCP 5 project and tried to burn it on iDVD 5.0.1.
This is the error message you got:

Error: The recording device reported the not ready error. Cannot write medium-incompatible format (0x30, 0x05)

I’ve tried to burn the quicktime movie I exported from FCP 4.5 but I get the same error message you got. were you able to resolve the issue? what did you do differently?
the weird thing for me is that last month I exported this very same FCP project as a quicktime movie and burned 10 copies using idvd. Unfortunately all 10 copies of the dvd skip pretty badly…so I don’t know what’s going on!
Any help you can give would be great!
thanks,
daniel
