Photoshop PSD is importing as Quicktime Picture

I've been having the same problem. Have you found a solution to it?

What version of photoshop are you using?

have you made sure to simplify or flatten the psd to rasterize out all type, layer effects, and masks, etc.? DVDSP will not support any of those photosop-specific features.

are you saving the PSDs as native photoshop files - I'm sure you probably are, but it's worth asking..

Also, if you do a Save As from photoshop, try checking the "maximize compatibility" box - this may help.

Hope it helps anyway...

I had the same problem. After going through step by step making sure everything was by the manual, so to speak, and a few hours later, I discovered that I was operating RGB Color 16 Bits inside photoshop. Switched to RGB Color 8 Bits and all was well. Hope this helps.

I'm struggling for more than 2 years with this issue, and so far I have not found a good answer. RGB/8 doens't work, a simple background file with a single highlight layer doesn't work.

So far I've found 2 workarounds:
1. Create a new document in Photoshop with the same dimensions. Copy and paste the layers of the non-working document into the new one, save it and import it to DVD Studio. Then it appears as Photoshop Still.
2. Open the non-working psd in Fireworks, save it as psd again. When you open the file in Photoshop you'll notice that the layers are placed in a folder. Get them out, delete the layer and save it. Then it also appears as a Photoshop Still when importing to DVD Studio.

Either way it's bizarre that this problem still occurs after two years of working with DVD Studio Pro.
