I am having a problem sharing my video to to DVD. Its 12 mins long and when I go to share it to DVD it says video bitrate to high. How can I fix this?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Just to clarify, you are getting this message from FCP? Or are you using another app to encode the DVD?
Russ
No its from FCPX.
Now its just getting stuck at 66% and won't move. When I click on the DVD icon it says application not responding.
Can someone help me please?
Stuck at 66% and bit rate too high are terms you can search for, we seem often after here.
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.
If you're burning directly to a disk, try outputting as a disk image. To do that, in Share DVD Settings, select Hard Drive for Output Device. Then burn the DVD from the Finder.
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.

OK so I have tried:
I called apple support for 1 hour and half and still nothing. I don't know what to do anymore.
Well, you tried a lot of things that were reasonable to attempt.
But you haven't yet tried my suggestions.

What is the mp3 audio you referred to?

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

Also, just to clarify, did you import the master file as a clip and tried to share > DVD? Can you give the specific steps?
Russ
I Imported it as a clip and then tried to share it but it gave me the same error.
Mp3 audio is the music files that I am putting to pictures. I think the music is the issue. What is your suggestion?
Please open the master file in the Finder with MediaInfo or VideoSpec and post a screen shot of the report.
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.

Ok I'll do it in the morning because I left the office. I'll be on about 6am so I hope y'all will be here. I have to give this to the customer by noon.
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.
Thanks for the link.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary about the Test.mov file. Here is how VideoSpec reports it.
I imported that into a clean library and exported (Shared > DVD). The output was a disk image. Here is how VideoSpec reported the VOB file. Nothing looks out of the ordinary; the bit rate is what we would expect.
Try this: Create a brand new library. Import your master file and check Optimize media in the Import dialog. Edit into a new project. Export (Share > DVD with Output Device set to Hard Drive). Burn the physical disk in the Finder.
Good luck.
