Displaying Chapter Names

Hi all,
Is there some way (or setting) in DSP to make "Named Chapters" display in the thumbnails generated in DVD Player in Full Screen Mode rather than just the names Chapter 1, 2, etc? Or any other Software Based Player for that matter.
This is what I have done:
1 Named each Chapter Marker
2 Named each Track
3 In the track tab of the DSP Prefs I have the "Check for Unique Name" box selected. and tried it unchecked.
In the player each thumbnail shows as just Chapter 1, 2 etc.
Is this something that can be accomplished in a script and if so uh.. how?
Thanks

When you name tracks and chapter marks, its just a guide to help you during the authoring process. No player will honor the names you've given it from DVDSP?

QuickTime Player displaying chapter names at top of screen

I have QuickTime movies created with Final Cut Express, with chapter markers that I use in iDVD. All that works fine. But now I want to take still screen shots of various points in the video, for use in marketing.
I am trying to use QuickTime Player to export still frames from the video. QuickTime Player displays the name of the current chapter in a white bar across the top of the screen. This is also exported when I export that frame to a still image. (The chapter navigation pop-up menu also appears at the bottom of the Player window, so I don't see why the current chapter name has to appear at the top as well).
Is there any way to turn this off, so that the exported still frame doesn't have the white bar across the top with the chapter name? I want pristine still frames, not those with the white bar. Or if it can't be turned off, is there any similar player that I could use, which can export full-size still frames?
Thank you

Go to the movie properties ...Apple key+J....turn the chapter text track off.

Can Apple TV display special characters in movie chapter names?

I have an Apple TV 2.0.1. I have encoded my own movies with descriptive chapter names, imported them into iTunes 7.6.2.9, and synced them to my Apple TV. Does the Apple TV have the ability to display special characters (ó, û, etc.) in movie chapter names? The movies play fine and in iTunes the chapter names are all displayed correctly. I also have an iPod Touch 1.1.4 and it can display the chapter names with special characters fine as well. When playing the movies on Apple TV, only the chapters that have special characters in them display nothing at all for the chapter name. All the other chapters display fine.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I can't really confirm your observation one way or the other, I don't use chapter names. I suspect though that your observations are correct. Unusual characters can often cause issues in a variety of ways, illegal characters in your filenames for example can cause the video not to be found at all or in some cases simply not play. If you are using ie instead of safari for example the  in my welcome my well not display properly whereas others will clearly see it as an apple symbol.

Getting rid of chapter names

I created a DVD in iDVD, with music. I know each photo is a chapter, but how do I keep from the chapter name (in my case the photo name) from displaying on each photo in the slideshow? Feeling dumb.

yeah...I'm pretty sure that's what I did. When I previewed the slideshow in iDVD I didn't see anything. But after I burned the DVD and played it on a different computer, each slide was named chapter 1, chapter 2 and so on...kind of takes away from the photo. I am trying it again, however...in case I'm remembering incorrectly.

Changing "Chapter Name" font

When making an ePub I can't create a new "Chapter Name" with a different font and still have it behave like a Chapter Name style i.e. inserting a page break. I don't want change the original style because it'll affect all Chapter Names. I wouldn't mind this if I could insert a page break but the Chapter Name is the only to do this. Any ideas?

When I put my book in iBooks there is a white boarder around the cover.
Not sure if you are referring to a an "cover art image" problem or a "device display" problem here.
In the latter case, all hardware devices I own, as well as all of the ones I've looked at in stores, have had one common problem --that of dedicating some portion of the display area for the display of info, margins, and/or the "framing" of text and images. For this reason, it is not really possible "not" to have some sort of "border" around an image embedded on a "page" of an ePUB file when viewing the content on most such devices currently available on the market.
In the former case where a "cover art" image is used, a "white" border could be the result of image dropped/imported into iTunes. For instance, most Amazon cover art images are overlaid on a white 500x500 pixel background. Thus, when they are used are dropped/imported to iTunes as cover art, display with a "white" border on the black default background used by most Apple apps/devices such as iTunes, TV, iPad, etc. Borderless cover art images, of course, do not have this problem.
I can "Get Info", load in my cover in the cover art section and it will work fine there but I won't be able to do that when I put my book up for sale. Any ideas?
It is my understanding that dropping/importing a cover art image to iTunes merely "associates" the external image with the content within the iTunes database which then, in turn, passes the cover art images to other devices in an appropriate manner for display on the specifically supported device(s).
Basically, there are two methods of embedding "cover" images within the ePUB file. The first is to include the image on a "page" (usually the first) within your project. This method has the advantage of making/allowing the "cover" to be viewed as the first page of your book. In addition, most applications/devices automatically use this first image/page as a thumbnail icon for readers employing a graphic user interface. The major disadvantage, as you have noted, is that such "cover" art is invariably displayed with some sort of a border.
The second method is to embed an actual "cover" image within the ePUB file in the "Image Folder." The advantage here is that the image is usually of a reduced size requiring less space than a "full page" image. Again, most eReaders will recognize this "cover" file and use it for cover display and/or the graphic interface. The disadvantage, of course, is that this image cannot be viewed as a page of your ePUB book in the reader.
Different applications seem to use different approaches here. Pages, for instance, will, if you use the option during export, take the first page of your project--be it a "full cover page" in-line image in a marginless document, a "full cover page" floating object placed over a margined page, a text "Title" page, or a combination of images and text--remove it from your document, take a snapshot of the page, and place this "cover-image.png" in the ePUB package "OPS > images" folder. Thereafter, this image will be used in the same manner as cover art manually dropped/import to iTunes--i.e., it will display as a icon in the graphic interface and be used as the "cover" for the book in Books as the book opens on the iPad but is store within the ePUB package. On the other hand, since the the associated XHTML file content was deleted during ePUB compilation, it is no longer available for viewing as a regular page.
Legend Maker, on the other hand, goes in the opposite direction. Since you include a source "cover.png" image in your project to begin with, it creates a "cover.html" page in the ePUB package which displays (with the normal limitations) as the first page of your ePUB book and also places the original "cover.png" file in "OEBPS > images" folder which is available for "cover art" icon/graphic use in apps/devices that use them.
So basically, yes, there is a way for Pages to automatically embed the "cover art" functionality formerly manually applied by you in iTunes if this is what you want. Just remember that your "cover art" must entirely cover the Pages document page since this is what is used as the "canvas" for the automatically generated image. If it does not do so, then the image will include a "white" border for any background area(s) left exposed. This may require distorting or cropping the original art as desired/needed.

Rh Variable displays variable name, not value

In master page, header, I have inserted the chapter name. When I generate the output, it displays the variable name, PD Chapter Name, not the value of the variable. The code is unaltered from the button selection 'Insert Chapter Name' . Is there another step I'm missing? Thank you!
<p><?rh-variable_start name="pd-chap-name"
value="&lt;&lt;PD Chapter Name&gt;&gt;" ?><<PD Chapter Name>><?rh-variable_end ?></p>

Hi there
Can you share screen captures of the variables pod as well as a topic or something depicting this in the final result?
Thanks... Rick

How Can I Display the Name of iPhoto Library?

I manage a huge number of images so I keeep them in their own iPhoto libraries. In order to change libraries, I have to rename the one I have just left and then restart iPhoto. I have looked for years but cannot find a way for iPhoto to display the name of the library it has open. I could remember the names of all my libraries if I was not forced to change them in order to leave them and go to another. Does iPhoto tell you the name of the library you have open?
Thanks

Hi John,
iPhoto 6 now shows the name of the library in the title bar of the iPhoto window. At least it did the other day for me.
You can have a unique name for each of your libraries and use the Option key to launch iPhoto and choose to open another library, then navigate to the library, highlight it and click open.
You can also use one of the iPhoto Library managers to switch between libraries.

Displaying the name of iPhoto library

I have a large number of different iPhoto libraries, and was wondering if there was some way to display the name of the Library in use. I have given them all different names, and can usually tell which one I am in, but not always.
iPhoto insists on calling each one "Library" in the information pane. I've looked through the responses to this question in the iPhoto 5 section (i.e. "can't do it") but, now that iPhoto offers multiple library support, you'd think this would be addressed.
Th causes of my problem are twofold: 1) I often duplicate libraries and then split them by deleting different film rolls from each and 2) I'm getting old, and my memory is not what it once was, so I tend to forget which of the two libraries I've opened and which files should be deleted.
Any suggestions?

luba:
Yes if you use iPhoto Library Manager to manage your multiple libraries as you can see here. iPLM adds the library title to the top of iPhoto's window when you go thru iPLM. It will also let you copy albums or rolls between libraries and keep the keywords and comments like this.
I have my workflow setup to always go thru iPLM so I always know exactly which library I'm opening. My memory isn't good enough to remember the last one I had opened.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Displaying the name of a minimum value in crosstab

Hi,
we have a crosstab with [Job Number] in the left column, [Quantitiy Break] as the column headers and (min[bid value]) as the measure.
We want to display the name of the [vendor] who gave the minimum bid alongside the measure in the crosstab.
we have tried allsorts of formula along the lines of:
=[Vendor] Where ([Bid Value Row]=(Min([Bid Value Row])))
=[Vendor] Where ([Bid Value Row]=(Min([Bid Value Row] ForEach ([Job Number]))))
=[Vendor] Where ([Bid Value Row]=(Min([Bid Value Row] ForEach ([Job Number];[Quantity Break]))))
etc
can anyone help?
thanks very much
Keith

You could try the method I use to pull this back from the database in one go...
Create an object
start with bidvalue (aggregated on the right level, formatted as string,
make sure you use leading zeroes and room enough for the highest possible value)
and concatenate the vendor after that.
Now use right(min(new object);lenght(new object)-length bidvalue string)
(might have tweak a bit to get the exact vendor part of the string, this is from the top of my head,
but no doubt you'll get it to work)
This will find the combination with the minimum bidvalue, but only return the vendor part.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Cannot edit chapter names in iDVD after importing movie from iMovie

I have no trouble customizing iDVD (version 5.0.1) menu page after importing iMovie directly (instead of going to QT as interim step). But the names of the chapter markers are file names for video clips, title pages and transitions. The iMovie help says to change the names in the space next to the 'thumbnails' of chapters found in iDVD. THERE ARE NO THUMBNAILS. And there is no way I could find, using menu options or clicking on the chapter frames shown in 'map' mode to type in anything.
There are other problems, like getting rid of the default "Travel Cards' stuff...like I can drop a still photo in for a custom background, but the default 'celluloid design' banner still rolls up in previw mode. If you can also help with that, great. But the main thing right now is getting these chapter names change.

VJK,
You are the third person who has taken a crack at this. I don't know if you read my last reply which detailed the situation. But if you did and the 'menu' you refer to is the main menu page, that is not the problem; I can change text there. I am talking about the submenu for 'Scene Selections', which I have only been able to access via map mode.
In map mode I cannot highlight the names. Period. Can't do it no matter where I place the cursor or carefully click.
In preview mode, when the Scene Selection sub-menu page appears whenever you drag the cursor over a chapter name it automatically highlights so any clicking will either do nothing (if a real careful click, trying to highlight text and not trigger off play of the movie chapter) or just start play for the movie chapter.
So...how does this newbie get to the 'menu' you mention where I can click on a chapter name in order to type new text?
You will be able to change the names in the menu, but
depending upon your mouse, etc, it can be a little
particular.
Place the cursor at the very beginning of the word
you want to change. Click once .. this should hi-lite
the word. Click again, it should make the word go
blue (or in a blue box) then you can delete and
re-type.
Be sure to save the proj
I have found that even after saving and successfully
burning the project, if I return to it later the
changes seem to have gone away ... so if you go back
to it later, just double check that everything is
kosher

Messages on Mac app not displaying contact name

On Messages on my Mac, despite being synced up with iCloud, the Messages app does not display the contact names of anyone. It shows their phone numbers or Apple email addresses. Is there any preference I can change to make it show the contact names? If it exists I haven't found it. I also used the app meant to scrub contacts to make the phone number format conform with Apple's standard (xxx) xxx-xxxx please help!

HI,
I take it you are no longer on OS X 10.7.2 ?
The display of Names (and/or Pics) in Buddy Lists and the main Messages window (when in a Chat) in Mountain Lion is controlled from the View Menu > Buddy Names.
To set this choice the window has to be the "Front" one.
So the Messages window (CMD + 0 in the window Menu) gets brought to the Front when any sort of Text Chat is going On.
the View Menu > Buddy Names items is selected and navigation to the choice you want.
Full names is the First name, Last name as seen in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
Short Names are Nicknames (normally set via Messages) or First name only if no Nickname exists.
Handle is the Screen Names (If AIM), Jabber ID (If Facebook, GoogleTalk or other Jabber ID) or in the case of iMessages the current contact ID or iPhone number.
You can do the same to any Buddy list that you also display.
It can be used in Conjunction with the View Menu > Messages which has options to display Pics, Names or Pics and Names.
(Names now refers to whatever is set in the "Buddy Names" option).

Is possible to display Country Name in incoming calls?

Is possible to display Country Name in incoming calls? If number is saved with country code. Attached is the sample as i mean.

If you need one more column, then you need to expand the field catalog table and data table as you did for all other fields and you need to code the logic to calculate the subtotals and populate the new column, but if you want to have row, that will be easy. For more info you can [refer |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4063c42a-2549-2c10-fab6-a8c99d98b9b5?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]this:

Creating a Folder Within Form or Document Library & Display the name not in the name column.

Hi,
If you want to show the name of folder in another column, a workaround is that you can create an extra column, then create a SharePoint Designer workflow to set the value of
this column with the name of folder.
Here is a link about Create Workflow using SharePoint Designer and set field value for your reference:
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/419037/Create-Workflow-using-SharePoint-Designer

It's recommended that you post a single question in a single thread which will make it easier to be discussed by others.

Value in input field of Hier.Node variable displays tech.name of the IO

Dear all,
we are facing an issue with Hierarchy node variable(auth.) in the selection screen of webReports.
After selecting a hierarchy node value,it is displayed along with + sign and tech.name of the Infobject in input field .
example: lets say we have Country Hierarchy and i have selected Country group 'NAM' node..This is displayed as "+NAM(ZCOUTRYGRP)". where ZCOUTRYGRP is tech.name of the InfoObject Country group.
Expected value is just "NAM" which is Key .Does anyone have solution for this? This Problem occuers when we select Level 01 value of hierarchy and we do have hierarchy node values from same INfoObject.
Regards,
Murali.
