Late-Breaking News About DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2
The following information is late-breaking news about DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2.
General Information
The following issues apply to both standard definition (SD) and high definition
(HD) projects.
Still Images Are Now Processed Correctly
Still images used in menus, tracks, and slideshows are now processed correctly.
Previously, in some cases, still images used in menus, tracks, and slideshows would
appear with artifacts when played on a DVD player.
If you have a project that is showing this issue, you can use the Build command to
re-create the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder and its files.
Note: Choose the Delete option if you see a dialog about whether to reuse or delete
the existing VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder and its files. Do not choose Reuse.
DVD Studio Pro Now Processes Build Files From Earlier Versions
DVD Studio Pro will now recognize the “.layout” files included with the build files from
earlier versions of DVD Studio Pro.
Clips Encoded Using Compressor Now Concatenate Correctly
You can now concatenate clips (place them one after the other) in the DVD Studio Pro
Timeline Editor and have them play correctly. Previously, in some cases when playing
the concatenated clips from the Timeline Editor, the video would stop playing once the
playhead reached the second clip.
Rearranging Slides in a Slideshow With Transitions No Longer Causes Build Errors
You can now reliably rearrange slides in a slideshow that contains transitions and not
have errors appear when building the project. Previously, rearranging the slide order
after a project had been built could lead to an “Invalid Marker Position” error when you
tried to build the project again.
Project-Based Styles Issue Corrected
Saving a project containing project-based styles by using the Save As command in the
File menu now saves the styles with the new project. Previously, the style names were
saved with the new project, but you could not actually use them.
