Activity Forums DVD Authoring Incompatible Format

  • Incompatible Format

    Posted by Sam Pope on May 7, 2008 at 4:12 pm

    I need to author a DVD for a short (4 min) project that I put together. I exported the timeline to compressor and compressed it using the HD DVD: H.264 90 minutes setting at 10.3Mbps.
    When I try to import it as an asset into DVD Studio Pro it tells me that it’s an incompatible format. I know DVD Studio Pro accepts H.264…so what’s the problem? I’m supposed to deliver this DVD this afternoon, so any help would be appreciated.

    make sure your dvd studio pro project is set to HD-DVD.

    did that. still no luck. i checked the manual and hd h.264 should be compatible.
    i’d prefer to use that and not mpeg..
    thanks

    I import the timeline to create a quicktime movie then into Studio Pro 4 then burn the
    HV-DVD TS in Toast9 with HD Plugin onto a good quality standard DVD disc, works a treat.

    Okay, but isn’t H.264 and Apple codec? Hard to figure out why it would be so hard to bring it DV SP…

    I had the same problem, i am waiting for a mate of mine to work it out, but as i said i did it
    in quicktime with great results.

    PS,
    I shoot on HD-Cam, and import to FCP at 10Bt uncompressed, the HD-DVDs are
    fantastic.
