What were your bitrate settings and did you use ac3 audio?

How do you know we are confusing her? She’s learning so I believe giver her as much info as possible would be a positive?
Most folks dont know DVD support those half D1 resolutions.

I’ll throw much opinion in here and say Compressor is the worst MPEG 2 encoder in the Universe.

Actually whats confusing is when you indicated 720×480 is the ONLY resolution supported by the spec. Here’s a good run down.
But yes….almost all discs are 720×480 or 720 x 576
NTSC (NTSC Film)
Video:
Up to 9.8 Mbps* (9800 kbps*) MPEG2 video
Up to 1.856 Mbps (1856 kbps) MPEG1 video
720 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Full-D1)
704 x 480 pixels MPEG2
352 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Half-D1, same as the CVD Standard)
352 x 240 pixels MPEG2
352 x 240 pixels MPEG1 (Same as the VCD Standard)
29,97 fps*
23,976 fps with 3:2 pulldown = 29,97 playback fps (NTSC Film, this is only supported by MPEG2 video)
16:9 Anamorphic (only supported by 720×480)PAL
Video:
Up to 9.8 Mbps* (9800 kbps*) MPEG2 video
Up to 1.856 Mbps (1856 kbps) MPEG1 video

16:9 Anamorphic (only supported by 720×576) -
For the record, there are half d1 resolutions which are supported as well.
704×480
352×480
352×240 -
Could be a faulty player. AS nothing to do with DVDSP or how it was authored since it plays on everything else

Personally dont think any BD work should be done on a MAC. imgburn is free burning tool and should be the only burning tool which should be used for BD. Its PC though as are all BD authoring tools

Hi Brad
The first thing you should do is read up on the technology itself. Here are some books to read first:
Once you understand how BD works, you can make a more informed opinion. For your budget, theres no question you should go with Do Studio. Its a great tool, great support and has proven itself in the trenches. Go read the wikis on Netblenders site to learn more about BD technology as well.
Encore has proven itself to be a dud! Its poorly put together.
Power Station is expensive. Yes….Cinevision is a much better encoder than Compressor or Adobe’s.
I havent used it yet, but I can see where DVD Logic is going with Easy BD and have heard a few good things.
The most important advice would be to take several months….. learn the tools and technology first. Test titles and features against what your client expect. Only then should you offer your services.

Not much in the way of encoding tool for the Mac. There’s the Cinemacraft Plug-in and Bitvice are the only ones I would use.
Cinemacraft SP3 has segment encoding as does Sony’s Blu-Code and Sonic’s Cinevision – all PC
Why do you have to use a OSX? No reason really IMO
-
Yep!
Basically its cheaper to settle than to hire a lawyer to make out the initial paperwork on a BS lawsuit.
What goes round comes round though…so whomever’s involved will get payback eventually.
To the OP….you might join the Tully List to get more info on this
