Problem importing DEMUX mpeg2 m2v into DVD studio pro 4.1

[Charles Simonson]

Any reason why you chose the headed demux option? I would have just chosen the standard demux to m2v option. The headed option is only intended for if you want to make that asset compatible with standard dvd players. But in my experience, even if you are able to get it to work in DVD SP (which isn’t guaranteed), the resulting disc will only play for a few seconds on a STB. I imagine you are trying to burn a red-laser HD DVD with DVD SP, and in such case I would recommend the standard demux method. Just remember that you can’t build any menus if you want compatibility with the Toshiba STBs.

Is it jsut this m2v file that causes DVDSP to crash? There’s a somewhat common bug that causes crashes when clicking on m2v files in the finder or in file windows.

Thanks,
I’ve only tried this m2v file and another that was also demuxed from a transport stream which also crashes. Even quicktime crashes when loading these files. I bought the apple mepg 2 player component but no luck. I would just like to know that these high quality demux mpeg files will work when I get a blue ray authoring program or the updated DVD studio pro.

Thanks

The crashing in finder might be fixed by not letting Finder display the preview of the file. Also changing default program to open to Quicktime. Look for answer on Apple support discussions.
