DVD SP Problem at DVinfo.net

Kray Mitchell · November 3rd, 2003, 11:01 AM

I am having a strange problem with DVDSP 2.
Last week we rendered out an MPEG2 using compressor with a Dual Pass VBR (Using High Encode Preset) and brought it into DVDSP, and burned it.
We watched it all the way through on a TV and decided we wanted to make a few changes before giving the final to the client, so this time I did a Single Pass VBR to reduce compression time (Using the Fast Encode Preset) but now when I bring it into DVDSP it tells me that the file is Unusable (Noted by the Red Dot beside it).

I cannot seem to find anything wrong with it, and DVDSP doesnt seem to want to tell me what the problem with the file is! Is there something obvious that I am missing here, or am I just stupid! (Or is it the fact that I did Dual Pass VBR before??)

Heeelp!

Dvdsp is working. Getting the info it needs etc and it will turn green in the end. I haven't had much time to play with dvdsp 2 yet cause I had to learn some other apps but one other reason could be that your settings have changed for some reason and you're encoding in the background.... so re-encoding your encoding.

But it just sounds like it's not ready for use as dvdsp is still getting all the GOP info and stuff. You'll get the green light in the end. This is a different feature for 1-1.5.2 users upgrading to 2 but pretty much normal if you've ever used Maestro or a Sonic app,

Let us know,

Jake
