No valid title found
Since upgrading to Leopard I cannot open any files. I always get the error message "no valid title found".
Can anyone shed any light please?

Same here...
I'm having the same problem here. I upgraded both of my Macs to Leopard. My iMac C2D 2.16ghz is still running Handbrake with out any issues. But my Macbook Pro 2.4ghz keeps giving me the "No Valid Title Found" message on any DVD I insert.
Both Macs are running Handbrake 0.91.

That was a previously converted file. This is the Activity log for an mpeg file.

Handbrake is a DVD or DVD like source to Mpeg4 Converter.
DVD's are in most cases Mpeg2. Mpeg4 files are not in a DVD like format
In the first instance you passed in a Mpeg4 file which is not supported.
In the second case you passed in a Mpeg2 file which is supported.
You cannot convert AVI's either. Handbrake has never been able to do this.

I'm having the same issue. Tried the newest Handbrake on a Mac running Leopard and it's a no-go. Tried the same version on another Ma running Tiger and it will work flawlessly. So, this does seem to be a Leopard issue.
I'll post my Activity Log here:

I'm curious scottiewilson. How were you able to resolve this issue? Were you able to do it in Leopard, or did you do it on Mac running a prior version of Mac OS X?

First of all, if you are having the same issue as above, then you are feeding HB unsupported files.Fry wrote:I'm having the same issue.

Semantics aside, do you have any useful suggestions? I am feeding Handbrake an actual DVD which it has no issues with on Tiger, but fails to recognize in Leopard.Cavalicious wrote: First of all, if you are having the same issue as above, then you are feeding HB unsupported files.
I don't know exactly what to make of the log output, but it seems to me that it has trouble accessing the device or volume itself.

Who is being the smart-ass? The original post said:Cavalicious wrote: Well yes, my "useful suggestion" would be to not post in a thread describing an issue you do not have, but yet claim "I'm having the same issue." Then come back with a smart-ass remark when said fact is pointed out.
I am having the same problem, even if the cause might be different. Your reply wasn't exactly very helpful or cheery either.Since upgrading to Leopard I cannot open any files. I always get the error message "no valid title found".
Can anyone shed any light please?
Anyway, I don't think I'm the only one with this issue. I think the same or a similar issue has already been mentioned here in another thread.
also having this problem
I'm scared of jerks being snarky, but I guess I'll open myself up to the trolls and post here too.
I am also having this problem. Was not a problem in 10.4.10, but as soon as I "upgraded" to 10.5, my macbook no longer recognizes any title on any DVD - even older DVDs that I know don't have any protection.
This was not a problem previously on my powerbook with 10.4.10 et. al. ... any idea why it won't work on 10.5 and a new macbook?

Re: also having this problem
Yes, plays beautifully in DVDapp and VLC. It's happened with 5 different DVDs so far, including one - I tried this just as a test - that I had copied with Popcorn about a year ago.dynaflash wrote:.. and it plays fine in DVDPlayer.app ?moemoe wrote:I am also having this problem.

same thing here
Since changing to a MacBook 2Ghz, I am getting "no valid title found" on any and all DVDs I insert and they previously worked fine. Could this be a new copy protection "feature" built into the drive hardware?

I doubt it, I am on a mbp c2d as well and have had no issues on tiger or leopard.mduncan wrote:Since changing to a MacBook 2Ghz, I am getting "no valid title found" on any and all DVDs I insert and they previously worked fine.
