Motion menu first play not working

No matter what I do the first play motion menu either stops at the end or goes on to play a timeline on two different hardware players and in VLC (last two versions). The only player where it properly loops is PowerDVD 9 (which has its own problems with linked timelines). This is not a hardware problem. This is an Encore problem probably being caused by an inefficient layout of files on the disk. There is a possibility (slight) that this is being caused by removing assets and "saving as" to create two DVD5's from a DVD9. Despite the deletion of assets the "saved as" project files are about the same size as the DVD9 project. I wish Encore ws like Pr in that it could rationalize a project by importing it into a new project. Then again with all the problems people report with motion menus it may not have anything to do with the work flow.
Don't see any easy work around here except building the two projects up from scratch unless someone has a idea of what to try.
I wish this software would work better. It really is the worst of the Production Suite (and I use Pr as my everyday editor)

Sometimes the end action will get locked into an asset if you build the project. Changing the end action of the menu after you have gone through the build process may not work. You might have to delete the menu from the project, re-import it, relink the assets and buttons, and it should work.
You are correct, Encore is not as polished of a program as Photoshop, but at least there are usually workarounds so you can successfully build a disc that works as it should.

Hello Every time I create a motion menu the play buttons have a fuzzy outl

Hello
Every time I create a motion menu the play buttons have a fuzzy outline. I really don't like this and would love to know how to avoid it as it looks really bad and not crisp.
Here's how i do it:
1) I create the motion menu in AEX and add in the button here. I have the button coming in about 5 seconds after the start to give a delayed effect and this will therefore be the loop point I set in DVDSP.
2) I then export out a Photoshop layers file from AEX and then bring this file into Photoshop to make the overlay. I'm not sure if I'm doing this step correctly as I then go Image/adjustments/levels and make the play button black
3) I then make the menu an .m2v and bring this and the overlay .jpg file into DVDSP.
4) When I select the play button the edges go fuzzy. This particular PLAY button was the text PLAY in white, with a black outline. Maybe this black outline had something to do with it?? I've also had heart shaped buttons for example and this does the same thing.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks, Margie

One thing that could help is not using a .jpg which is compressed. A .tif may work better (to some degree).
Not sure if you are using text highlights or something else when you mention you make the button black. Larger text (20pt plus, Sans Serif) can often help. Part of it also may be the selection process of what you are changing. Sounds like you are sending out the highlights as a seperate layer by itself. If so you do not not to switch it to Black, depending on the color you can map it out in DVD SP.
Another thing is that if the highlight is in the motion menu (unhighlighted) the highlighing may be slightly off of the underlying item making it a bit fuzzier. Could also be colors.
On pt 4, not sure if you mean select as "I pressed the button for the action" or as just moving to the button. If the former, then there can be a slight shift as the DVD itself moves to different place. Feathering the black edges may also help....

SOME FUNCTIONS BEHIND MENU/TOOLBAR ITEMS NOT WORKING

In application the toolbar button 'new record' and 'next record' are not
working. The associated menu items also not work.
When copying same set of binaries to another directory with another forms
listener then everything is ok. So the problem is not in the fmx's.
Most menu/toolbar items do work only those two have problems.
Any suggestions?

The problem was probably due to a connection error.
Nothing to do with designer or headstart.
It is solved

Code errors could explain the problem. You're missing a closing </div> tag for container.

Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
after that preform a restore by going to

this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

Firefox may not have closed properly.<br />
You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work

Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work. It is only happening on a couple of my site collections and is affecting on the main page of those collections. There is only one web part on the main page, it is the Picture Library Slideshow web part. When
I remove that web part, the menu's come back and work with no problem. I re-add the web part and the menu's stop working. Not finding any error's in the server logs, there are no visual error's thrown. Any advice on what might be happening? I've checked
the Java update on our computers and it has the latest version. Open to any advice at this point.

Search menu function is not working

Hi
Search menu function is not working in one of my HRMS 9.1 (PT: 8.52.09 application.
Verity installed and executed the build registry search index aswell.
Please let me know if I miss something on configuring the search menu function.
Thanks
Soundappan

Personally I did not have to make any psappsrv.cfg changes for this particular 9.1 env or any other changes that I can remember. Is PS_HOME = PS_CFG_HOME though?
If you didn't specifically set PS_CFG_HOME to PS_HOME it defaults to something like $HOME/psft and the files would need to be there instead.
If you run psadmin what's it show as the Config Home?
If I unset PS_CFG_HOME i get
PSADMIN -- Tools Release: 8.52.07
Copyright (c) 1996, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
PeopleSoft Server Administration
Config Home: /home/psoft/psft/pt/8.52And the files would need to be there rather than $PS_HOME/data/....
Now you could override that in your psappsrv.cfg file with
EMPLOYEE=PS_HOME/data/search PS_HOME I dont think can be used here as a variable... it needs to be the full path. the location here must lead directly to the EMPLOYEE directory
In 8.52 there are also some alternatives to this older style above.
See this peoplebook for 8.52 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28394_01/pt852pbh1/eng/psbooks/tsvt/book.htm?File=tsvt/htm/tsvt10.htm%23g037ee99c9453fb39_ef90c_10c791ddc07_102b for details.
In the past I've used shares or nfs mounts to have the process scheduler write directly to the appserver. But you could check out the new search server option too.
Let me know.

DVD menu button rollovers not working on PS3

I am totally new to Adobe Encore, and I tried to make my first DVD project yesterday. I used the default "Party" menu which I then edited in Photoshop to include my own graphic assets and text. The project is just two videos of a play that I recorded for a friend - one video is the Friday night performance and the other is the Sunday night performance. So there's only two buttons on the menu.
The DVD works fine on my Mac. The buttons do their rollover thing when I mouse over the two menu options. But on my PS3, the rollovers just don't appear. If I hit the X button when the menu appears, it plays the first video. If I hit the Down button first, and then the X buttons, it plays the second video, so obviously the function of the menu is working correctly, but the rollovers are not appearing.
Does anyone have any insight into what I might have done wrong?

Welcome to the forum.
Not sure exactly how the PS3 handles Sub-picture Highlights (what appears in the Over/Selection state), as I have never used one.
To see the layout of the Menu better, can you post a screen-cap from Photoshop, with the Layers Palette open, and the Button Layer Set of one of those Buttons twirled open, and with the Visibility of the Sub-picture Highlight turned ON? That will give us the opportunity to see if something is wrong with the naming conventions of the Button Layer Set, and also see what the Highlight should look like in its rollover state.
If necessary, this ARTICLE will give you some tips on the screen-cap.
Good luck, and maybe a user, who knows the PS3 will drop by with a quick and easy "fix."

First Play "Not Permitted" on Apple DVD player

I have some duplicated DVD-Rs of a project, and the client ha reported a disutrbing error. I've been told that on several different Macs running OS 10.2 - 10.4, not only does the disc not auto launch DVD player and not auto-play the first play menu, but when the user presses play on the floating control, they get a "Not Permitted" message. The user reported that they were able to choose "open Video_TS" and navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc, at which point they were able to get the disc to play.
The disc include a significant amount of content on the ROM sector of the disc, including an autorun and an .exe file for windows users. However, I can't see how the presence of these ROM files could interfere with the operation of DVD Player and the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc.
Furthermore, the duplication master for this disc has been formatted directly from DVD studio as a standrd DVD volume - no Toast burn, hybrid volume formatting, anything like that.
Upon inspection I discovered that my authoring assistant had specified a pre-script on the first play menu. I try never to use pre-scripts for anything, as I have found the way DVD studio handles them to be unreliable. However, I suspect this pre-script on the first play menu as the culprit in this problematic behavior, and have removed it.
The problem consists in that I did not experience this problem with any of the DVD-R checkdiscs I burned from DVD studio, unti the discs were duplicated. We'll be doing a full-scale replication run as the next step. Since I am not able to reproduce this problem on discs I burn here, I'd like find a way to know I have fixed the problem.
My question is, has anyone else ever encountered issues with their first-play menu throwing up this "not permitted" condition in Apple DVD Player? Has anyone ever found a connection between this issue and pre-scripts, or between this issue and any ROM files?
I suspect that DVD studio's pre-scripts are "simulated" or translated through the abstratction layer of DVD studio in a way that allows them to be outside the DVD spec, or perhaps there are other ways DVD studio might be using the pre-command on a menu, such as when you specify a button selection for a menu, that use the menu pre-command, and override the pre-script you might have spcified for the menu.

I've seen it on replicated masters when a dvd-r master was used and not all regions were selected as ok to play. DSP doesn't 'check' region 7 by default... its best to use a region all project and .img files, not VIDEO_TS builds to the HD.
How were the discs duplicated though? That is probably the cause of the problem, not the pre-Script. Maybe a 'Data' disc was burnt and not a DVD-Video type option...

Continuous play not working

I'm having trouble with my playlists. Somehow my setting have been changed so that songs will play one after the other. The boxes beside the song names are no longer checked. I started to go through and check them so the songs would play but if I continue to do that, it will take forever!
Does anyone know how to check all the song names without going through one by one?
Also as I've gone through to check the songs individually some of them are getting a little exclamation mark next to the song name (to the left). What does that mean?
IBM Thinkpad Windows XP

Following the advice of this list, I did a restore trying to make my Nano play podcasts consecutively. Now the Nano will not load my Podcasts! It says there is not enough room. The only option in a dialog is to sync songs. I never load songs, only Podcasts.
It was loading Poscasts just fine, but it would not play them consecutively.
How do I get back to where I was, loading new content. My Itunes has way more than can be loaded but most has been listened to. New is less than the amount that would fit on the 4G Nano. Before the restore, one third of the Nano was empty.
I am using iTunes 7.02. There seems to be very few controls for Podcasts. It makes it very confusing as most tabs and options have to do with songs. It is not very clear when options and tabs apply also to Podcasts.
Restore was a bad idea, but many of the Podcasts are 10 to 15 mins. long. It is a real pain trying to sit back and enjoy when you have to go find the next to listen to every few minutes. I tried making a playlist and that did not work.
I have over three years of Podcasts stored in my iTunes, why after a restore, did the Nano not just reload where it left off?
How do I get it to just load the new stuff?
How do I get it to play consecutively?

Ichat - getting started for first time NOT Working ..please help

I opened the Ichat application for th every first time today. When I open the app a box pops up and asks you to enter your user name and password and with which type of account you want to log in with, etc. First, I chose my mobile me account ( I also have a mac.com account and teh same thing I am going to describe happens with it as well for it is not an apple id dependent problem). I do so and click continue. The next screen comes up in the box and it is titled " encrypted ". Then in the box it says you are now ready to use ichat" . At the bottom of the box it says click done to begin using ichat.
Thus, is my problem. There is no "done" option to click on. The only button options to click on are: "learn more" , "go back" or "continue" . If I click "continue" nothing happens and I cannot do anything or begin using ichat. If I like "learn more" nothing happes at all - thus, the same result as clicking "continue". If I click back it will goto the previous screens but nothing changes.
Has anyone experienced this before? It seems strange and odd for an apple software to be so deleterious. How do i fix it so I can use iChat?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Jenna

Hi
Welcome to the  Discussions
Unfortunately although very rare some people do find that iChat does this.
Do this first.
Open your Home Folder (Little House icon)
Go to the Preferences Folder within and then find all the com.apple.iChat(xxx).plist items and delete them.
Try iChat again.
You should see several Start Up Screens.
1) A Welcome Screen.
2) A Valid AIM name (Includes options for MobileMe and @mac.com as well as AIM) plus confirming your Name (Your name maybe Prefilled from the Address Book)
3) the Bonjour Enable (or not) screen.
4) The Jabber option (Includes GoogleTalk) This Screen includes options to change Server Names and Ports under the text fields for the Jabber ID.
5) A Video Preview pane. (You can use this to take a Snapshot for your Buddy Pic)
6) a Details of Accounts you have set up screen.
7) the Done Screen.
More on this with Pictures here
If this does not work we may have to get you to Reinstall iChat.
How much work this entails depends how far your OS has been updated above the Install Disk Level.
Could you tell me what OS version the Install Disk is (What came on your Computer when new) ?
And what OS level you are currently using ?
