    Hi I’m a beginner with DVD studio so please bare with me.

    I’m stuck with DVD studio pro 4, I’m trying to burn a dvd that simply loops
    an animation. I have rendered footage from aftereffects at 1280×720 (square pixels). I have set the project
    settings to 1280x720p. HD DVD 16.9 Letterbox, it seems to burn the
    file but when I play the disc it doesn’t work????? I am using my internal Drive on my G5 which works fine with
    idvd.

    Whilst rendering I have viewed the log panel and it comes up with 3 warnings

    Warning: Menu 1 : No Buttons defined! (Not to much of a problem since I don’t want a menu)

    Warning: The file

    I’m not completely familiar with DVDSP but I do know a few things about it.
    The last two errors are perfectly fine. DVDSP makes these files but they do not belong on a DVD and would make it unplayable so the program is simply letting you know that it didn’t include these in the burn. (I don’t think that this should come up as an “error,” but then they didn’t ask me when they made the program.) Anyway, don’t worry about the last two.
    The first one, though, could be a problem. Did you put your loop in the menu or in the track? I believe on DVDSP “First Play,” it goes to the menu. If you did put it in the menu, you will also need to put a short piece of black in the track part. This is a part of the DVD spec.
    When you simulate the project, does it seem to work correctly?
