Q: Video Bitrate too High? Please help me fix it!

Getting stuck is usually caused by two things, not waiting long enough for the encode to happen (it takes a while) or the menu graphic is incorrectly positioned or scaled.
Bit rate too high—I have not seen this error since the olden days of DVD Studio Pro 4. It means that the combination of audio bit rate and video peak bit rate exceed the maximum allowed for the MPEG2 specifications. Fixing it required bringing the MEPG2 settings WAY down n the manual setting controls. I do not even know if those settings are accessible in FCPX, never looked.

Pretty sure that the Too High Bit Rate is a bogus error message. If you get it again, I would try a different brand of media - say, Vertbatim.
FWIW, you cannot adjust the bit rate in FCP, although you can in Compressor.
Post back and let us know how you make out.

Jun 16, 2016 2:58 PMby IVTC,OK so I have tried:
- A different DVD drive, didn't work
- Different blank DVD, didn't work
- Removed audio, worked once, but then did it again and didn't work
- Shared into a master file which worked but then loaded it back in to share to DVD and did not work either. It said the bitrate was too high again
- I have a feeling its from the audio. So I converted them to mp3 even though they were already in mp3 and did not work
- Then I converted them into Aiff and still did not work
I called apple support for 1 hour and half and still nothing. I don't know what to do anymore.

.
Also, just to clarify, did you import the master file as a clip and tried to share > DVD? Can you give the specific steps?

Or…use the range tool and select a a few seconds of the project timeline…upload to Dropbox or an online service of your choice that will let us download it and test.

Jun 17, 2016 5:57 AMby IVTC,OK I selected some and shared it into a master file. Here is the link:

I did not know the correct steps to open the master file in finder with one of those sources. If you want to give me step by step I can do that as well.
