TRouble burning DVD with DVD Studio Pro

Hello,

I have an IMAC (V10.4.11, 2.8 GHz 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) and are using final cut pro studio (V 6.0.6) and have exported a 70 minute video to compressor and compressed it using best quality for 90 minutes then imported it into DVD studio Pro and made the menu's i wanted and the project was already to burn.

I click on the burn icon and when it gets to format it brings up an error message:

"The recording device reported the hardware error: Unknown device"

Same problem if I go through Build/format or just format.

It has been a couple of years since I've used DVD studio pro and the last time it all went well, by memory.

I tested the burner by making a DVD using IDVD and that all went well.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards
Courtney

Is it possible you've set the project to HD DVD by mistake?

In the encoding section in preferences there is two boxes one MPEG -2 SD and one MPEG -2 HD, the HD box comes up first but it is the SD box that has the 16:9 button highlighted.

Hi,

I burned a DVD of a project directly from Final Cut. Now, I want to burn a copy of that project
in DVD Studio Pro to save some time but I am having problems. I have imported the .ac3 and .m2v media files into DVD Studio Pro and have dragged them into the timeline. I am able to see a preview of the video in the
viewer but I can't here the audio. What's the fastest way to rebuild this project in DVD Studio Pro and Burn a DVD? I have Final Cut Studio 2.

Thanks,
Joanes.

I figured out what I was doing wrong.
