Ok so according to Apple, DVD Studio Pro accepts pretty much any codec you can export a .mov file to using AE or FCP.

The weird problem is the mac I use at school won't allow me to import any Sorenson3 codec .mov file, but other mac computers at school will let me. Can anyone explain? I usually only have access to the one computer that is giving me the "Incompatible Format" error message and before exporting my menu transitions, I would appreciate any help as to why this is happening. Tried looking around videohelp.com but couldn't find any exact answer. Thanks in advanced.

It should, all of the machines at our school should have the same codecs and programs (with the exception of one room of macs having the Pro Tools program extra). They usually have each machine identical with codecs and program updates before they lock them up to prevent installation of any other programs.
That's a good point though, didn't think of that. Maybe they forgot about that one. But shouldn't DVDSP have the codec bundled with the program if it claims to accept that codec? Or are they simply just saying that codec is compatible with their encoder?

normally on a windows system the software should accept the codecs which are located on the windows system folder, I'm not sure on a mac, but the software actually only uses the compatible codecs for their encoder.

found the problem. they actually didn't have the codec installed on a few of the computers, so everytime you restart the computer it defaults back to original files/settings and deletes files that you've made or things like that (program that school uses to keep computers clean).
well turns out I just downloaded the codec and I was able to import the video in. I guess I'll have to inform the staff of this problem to avoid future headaches for other students. Thanks for the suggestion!
