Seq header duplication

[Jeff Kirkland]

Now that’s stretching my memory. It’s been a long time since I even saw DVD Studio, let alone actually used it but….

What type of role are you starting from? ProRes or MPEG2? If it’s MPEG2 then it’s possible there’s an error in the mpeg encoding. Try re-encoding it.

I’ve seen that error happen because there was a corruption in the DVDSP project and rebuilding it from scratch has fixed the issue.

I’ve also seen the issue happen because there were spaces in the filename. If there are spaces, try deleting the asset, then renaming it in the finder and reimporting it.

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head but it’s been a long time. Maybe something there will help…

Wow! Thanks Jeff for the quick responce. I’ll try your suggestions tomorrow. I’ve used DVD Studio Pro for years and have never had this happen before. I wish Apple still bundeled it with FCPX.

By the way, it is an Apple ProRes 422

I might try breaking all the links in the DVD project and then re-establishing them. You might have a link that goes someplace it shouldn’t. Did you import an asset twice somewhere?

Thanks again, Jeff. I have imported that file to one other place. I sent it to Compressor to burn a Bly-rey and to a backup disc. I’ll give it a try. Nothing worked yesterday. I appreciate you staying with me on this issue.

Jeff, nothing I tryed worked. Thank you for all the suggestions. I appreciate your help. I believe there must be some kind of a conflict with creating a file in FCPX on one MacPro (Mid 2010) with OS Mojave, then exporting it to an older MacPro (1,1 2006) with a much older OS (10.6.8) to burn the video with DVDSP, which, as you know is a part of a much older version of FCP suite. Apple is good at making older versions of their programs useless with upgrades. I understand that when a new OS comes out in November of this year, all of our 32bit software will have to be replaced with 64bit in order for it to work. That may be a good thing!!!!

Bottom line, I’m burning the DVD’s now with the authoring program provided with FCPX, which, in my opinion, is far inferior to DVDSP. Such is life. You have to life with some things you don’t like.
