Q: dvd studio pro 4 won't write disc? it just says there was an error during encoding over and over again...

It just says that there was an error encoding over and over again. It is version 4.2.2 It said the software required a dvd- which i used... I've tried just backing up the video to a disc not using studio pro but my computer won't do it? Any suggestions?

    Are you using DVD Studio Pro to encode the video and audio as well as author the disc?  If so, why not use Compressor?  IMHO it does a better job of encoding anyway.

     

    Also try using DVD Studio Pro to do a "build" then use an app like Toast for the actual disc burning.

    David's right.  Do the encode in compressor and bring the resulting m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) into dvdsp.  Then do an advanced burn:  build in dvdsp  and test the build using the mac dvdplayer to play the video_ts folder you've created.   Just go to file:  Open DVD Media and point to the build folder or the video_ts folder within it.  If this works, your dvd burner is probably the problem.  You can buy an external burner for not a lot of money.  Apple sells one, and you can even get cheaper ones than that.
