How to create "Scene Selection" Menu

I'm new to dvd studio pro & thought I was on the right track when I created chapter markers in Final Cut & exported as a quicktime w/ markers, but the dvd studio program either does not recognize the chapters, or I do not know where to look for them. I'm finding the manual very confusing, as it does not appear to directly say how to make up a scene selection menu using the chapter markers. Maybe I'm reading in the wrong place?
If anyone has some pointers, it would be appreciated.

Take a look here for a workaround if markers not showing up (there are others)

Video in scene selection menu

Hello: I've successfully created a scene selection menu using chapter markers. Looks good, but when I go into simulator and check out the scene selection menu, I noticed that the video begins to play from the marker points without stopping. How do I create an end or loop point for all the chapters that are displayed on the scene selection menu?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Thank you for your reply. However, I think I've done a poor job describing my issue. What I have is a motion picture that I want users to be able to choose "Play Movie" from the main menu, or "Scene Selection." If they choose "Scene Selection" they get the menu with the chapters laid out. If they choose a chapter, then they can jump to that part of the movie and watch it from that point on till the end. I've got all that working.
My problem is on the scene selection menu itself. The video samples that are shown in each chapter window or button start up and don't loop back, so essentially, if you jump to the scene selection menu, you're watching the movie from several different start points, and it just runs on till the end if you don't turn it off. I like the fact that you can view a video snippet in each chapter window, but I want to be able to limit how much is played and have it loop back.

Changing scene selection menu action

I'm trying to create a DVD with a particular theme. Everything works fine until I try the Scene Select button in the Preview Mode. When the Scene Selection menu comes up it is using a theme from a previous project. I am unable to change this to the theme being used in the first menu for this project.
How can I cancel the old project theme out of the Scene Selection menu?
Or how can I change it once I've started a project using a particular theme?
Thanks for any help you can give!

If you go to the main menu and then Advanced/Apply Theme To Project, it won't do that? If not:
This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

In scene selection mode, can you make iDVD return to the scene selection menu after playing that scene without continuing to play all the other scenes?

After selecting one scene from the scene selection menu, the following scenes play automatically, as if it were in "play movie" mode. Is there a way to stop that behavior and have the DVD return to the scene selection menu after playing just the selected scene?

OK
So what You want is a "Play All" button resp. a "Play one Chapter at a time" one.
Then
BAD News - There are Non ! in iDVD
GOOD News - it can in part be faked.
read on
Play all resp. one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in height. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
Summary
a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

Scene Selection Menu Question

I will try and make this question as unconfusing as possible. I have a DVD with a basic menu screen. It offers to play the whole film or go to the scene selection menu. When I go to the scene selection menu obviously I have the option to do just that. When I select a scene (or chapter) it will play it. My question is, if I have picked the wrong scene or I just want to go back to the scene selection menu, how do I make that happen? If I press menu it will just take me back to the main menu. It seems tedious to do it that way to keep having to go back to the main menu then to the scene selections menu. In short
What do I need to do to make the dvd go back to the scene selections menu when it was the last one selected?

What do I need to do to make the dvd go back to the scene selections menu when it was the last one selected?
You can also program the remote control's functions specifically for your DVD. It's not easy to understand in the manual but it's all explained. For instance, you could program the TITLE or MENU keys to return specifically to the scene selection menu. The problem with changing the programming is that's how the key will work for your entire disk unless, of course, you can figure out how to use the user memory registers and write a little script that will have conditionals.

Hi!
I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language. Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
Thank you very much!!!

They must be in the same project.

1.Start one dialog program with SAPMZ_001.
Place the below code in the TOP include of the dialog program.
TABLES marc.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 3200 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECT-OPTIONS: werks FOR marc-werks.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 3200.
2 .Create one screen 3000.
Go to Layout of the screen and Define subscreen area on the screen and Name it as l_subscreen.
Place the below code in the Flow logic of the screen.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN l_subscreen INCLUDING 'SAPMZ_001' '3200'.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN l_subscreen.
Activate all.
Create Transaction code for the dialog program .
Execute the transaction code. You will see the select-option for werks how we see on Selection-screen.

Scene Selection Menu Issue

On the menu theme 'Sliding Panes', once the DVD is burned, the chapters aren't sequencing properly on the scene selection page on my DVD player (or any player). For example, when 'Chapter 1' is highlighted on my scene selection menu, a click to the right, which should be 'Chapter 2', does nothing. Random directions navigate the buttons, and the biggest problem is that NO direction gets me to the forward arrow, so there's no way to get to scenes 7-12. Thanks for your help.

Often this is a problem with "overlapping" buttons. Do you have long text names for the buttons or are they crowded at all? Did you move them or are they in the default spots? Leave lots of space around the buttons, don't crowd them near each other.

How to Create a selection variable for Fiscal period/year range

How to Create a selection variable for Fiscal period/year range. The idea is to filter the query results using a fiscal period/year range user input rather than a full fiscal year input.

Hi Priya,
Open the query in a query designer -> in the left hand side you would find the fiscal year period under the time dimension -> right click -> create variable -> create the variable.
The better option would be use any of the SAP provided variable. You would find them under the Fiscal year period in the left hand side in the query designer.
