Scene Selection JPEGs Problem

I've made an iDVD and used garage band to set up the chapter markers. I then shared the movie with iDVD. The scene selection menu is set up nicely. I have put different images on each scene selection page. The DVD intro page has a different picture too in the back ground. The whole thing looks great when we check it all out on the computer. We burn a DVD and then when we play it on our DVD player/tv an image (jpeg) file that is on a scene selection page shows up on the introduction page of DVD, on top of the image we selected, why? Also, at times when using the "pass through" theme on the scene selection page instead of it having the moving text on the bottom of the page that says "scene selections 1-6" is says "Pass Through Chapters", but not on each page.

Nope, that wasn't the problem. I have even started with a fresh iDVD project, deleting the original. I am using iDVD '08, but chose the pass through theme from the 7.0. For some reason when the DVD burns it changes the ending photo on the menu page. It changes to one of the images I chose for one of the scene selection menus. I've tried different things and still have the same problem. Is it just a bug or a problem I am having using a 7.0 theme in iDVD '08? I have made quite a few coasters of dvd's that are not how I intended them to look. Also, after importing (sharing) from garage band, the first of three scene selection menus has "pass through chapters" moving across the screen instead of "scenes 1-6" as it should.
Frustrated here.

  • IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

    I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
    The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
    I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
    Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
    If this is it:
    Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
    The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
    - Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
    - Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
    Quick and dirty workaround:
    You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
    But this is of course not the clue...
    It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.

  • Scene selection problems in idvd 06

    The scene selection menu works fine in the dvd preview, but during playback on the burned dvd, I'm not able to access alternate scenes from that menu. The dvd starts at the beginning of the project no matter which scene I've selected.

    First thing to do is run some basic maintenance on your system. See here for what to do and free downloadable apps to do it...
    http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html
    Next, after you clean up the system, load in your iDVD project and use the "Delete Encoded Assetts" menu command. Then try re-encoding/burning your project again. Although this time you might want to do it to a disk image first, check to make sure the disk image plays correctly, and if so then put that disk image on an actual blank.

  • Scene Selection problem

    Ok.. Everytime I try to export my video out of final cut pro with markers... and trust me I have done many ways... I try importing my video into idvd and it just inports the video... No scene selection.... I have done this before just the same as I'm doing now with the same computer and everything but nothing.... Anybody have any ideas of whats going on????

    Open the exported QuickTime movie in QT Player, do you see the chapter markers (a pop-up menu below the viewer)? If it is, then the export from FCP is fine. If not,then something is missing.
    Check the iDVD's Preferences, is the "automatically create scene selection menus" enabled?

  • "Scene Selection" Button Thumbnail Problem

    I've created a project using the "Bands/Chapters" theme and now I can't set the thumbnail for the "Scene Selection" button to the image that I want. I keep getting some default image. I've uploaded a couple of screenshots to show what happens. You'll notice in the "after" screenshot that the inspector is showing the thumbnail of the image that I want but the button is set to some default image.
    Here's the two screenshots:

  • Chapter name not showing up in Scene Selection

    I have an iMovie 9 project that has three chapters.   I've used the Chapter Markers to delineate where they begin and what their names are.
    I've sent the finished project to Media Browser and then I go to iDVD to burn the project successfully and all seems well. 
    The trouble is, the first chapter's name is not showing up in the Scene Selection.   It's just listed as "The Beginning" instead of the name I've given it.  I checked it in the preview function before I burn the DVD, and it's not there, either.  The other two chapters' names show up successfully. 
    Can anyone help me here?  Thanks. 

    I just made sure that the Chapter Marker was at the very beginning of the clip, and that seemed to have solved the problem.

  • Some of my scenes selection menus won't turn or play sound.

    My main menu and the first scene selection menu has motion and sound, but the rest of the scene selection menus do not turn or play sounds (music).  How can I get them to work?

    First create a disk image of the project and see if those menus work as expected when played with DVD Player on your Mac.  If they do then the problem lies in the burning process.
    Follow the workflow described below to help assure the best quality disk possible:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • White box over my scene selection arrow!!!

    Does anyone know how to correct this problem? For some reason, this white box has shown up over my "direction right" arrow in the scene selection section of my dvd project. This also shows up after burning and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks for the help! You can find the screenshot here - http://gallery.filefront.com/deathcap//67132/

    Hmmm, not sure about this one.
    Try moving your 'Treasure Island' title away from the arrow.
    Slide it to the left. Also try shrinking the size of your text.

  • Highlight buttons in scene selection

    Hi guys-
    I'm fairly new to DVDSP and had a question about highlighting. For a scene selection I'm using, I selected a template and chose to use that. When I went to simulate, I found that there were no highlights on each scene and I couldn't see where I was navigating to. When I select a shape to use, it erases the thumbnail. Any thoughts on how to easily create a highlight around the thumbnail and/or the text on the button? Thanks!
    -Jack

    I totally agree with everyone here about the sound problem! I called yesterday and was told "no one else has said there is a problem!" I should check the forums! I paid for the policy on this machine and I expect to be helped. Is Apple going to become another Windows? The reason I use their products is because they use Americans to respond to our problems and they fix things quickly!
    I have been making DVDs for 2 years and not until IDVD 6 have I had a problem. I too have burned the projects several times and NO SOUND!
    The "person" at the "support" line was condesending and acted like I had the problem! Asked stupid questions like "are you using the right disk to burn it, duh! How do I unistall and go back to IDVD 5?
    Wake up Apple and fix this problem NOW!

  • Editing Scene Selection Buttons

    I am trying to create a Disc Menu in Premiere Elements 9 but I can't seem to edit the buttons for the scene selections. 
    The basic problem is that the titles for my scenes are a little long so it looks sloppy underneath the video image.  Really, if it would allow me to center the text underneath the video image that appears, that would solve my problem.  If that's not possible, just removing the video image could work as well.  Is there any way to edit these buttons other than just font, size, and color?
    Also, whenever I try to change the font for the "Play All" and "Scene Selection" button on the main page, the text disappears.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Unfortunately, you can not change the alignment of text on a disc menu without opening up the template itself and manually changing it.You can only change the font, style and color for each block of text.
    I don't know why you can't edit the Play All and Scene Selection buttons. You should be able to . At least on most disc menu templates. You may have applied a disc menu template that's the exception -- quite possibly because the text block is locked or is a graphic rather than true text.

  • Premiere Elements 9 - unable to select a "poster frame" for DVD Menu - Scene Selection

    I've tried a number of different DVD menu themes and the problem is the same for all.  The Scene Selections don't seem to provide any way to include a graphic for the poster frame.  Have been able to provide a menu background with no problem.  Interestingly, the poster frame section of the menu edit fields appears to be somewhat truncated (the spot where you would expect the "drag media here" shows only the bottom portion of a box with no wording and the input is truncated at 00;00;0 with the fifth zero partially cut off.
    Any one else seen this?  I know I've provided graphics for the scene buttons in the past but cannot seem to get past this situation this time.
    Thanks

    In Adobe Encore (the authoring program, included with PrPro), one can set the Poster Frame for non-Motion Thumbnails.
    For showing a different Clip, in Motion Thumbnails, one must create Menus, that have a Video background, that just looks like it has Motion Thumbnails - they are actually PiP in the Video background.
    I do not know about the often touted Sony DVD Architect, regarding setting Poster Frames.
    PrE's authoring control is a bit limited, and is designed to get the "average" Project authored, with few navigational bells and whistles.
    Good luck,

  • Last Scene Selection Will Play on the Burned DVD

    I only have two scene selections. If you are in the iDVD project, you are able to click on either scene selection and they play fine.  After I burn onto a dvd, the 2nd scene selection will not play.  The movie is 55:45 min.  and I chose "Prof. Qual."

    Then - the rest of trouble shooting

    • error in Permissions or on Hard disk
    • versions of Mac OS + iDVD + QuickTime - missmatch
    see my general notes on this.
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
    • Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
    To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video - neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version ! This also includes any USB-memory sticks.

  • 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.

  • Scene Selection out of order...

    I made a movie in FInal Cut Pro and set up Scene Markers. They split up into scenes in iDVD, however the selection is out of order. I'm using 'Reflection White' theme. What happens is when you are selecting through the scenes on the menu it doesn't go in order. Starts with the first one then goes to the bottom, then back up to the top, then to the bottom. Is there anyway to change the order that the DVD will select which next?

    Just catching up with this thread as I have the same problem -- scene selection does not go in the order of the chapters (12) made in FCP and exported as a QT movie. It DOES work on DVD player, but not work on stand alone DVD players (I have 2) through a TV set. And, yes, I tried free positioning to move the scenes around to conform with the pattern iDVD seemed to want but that didn't help either. The pattern of selection seems random, every time I press on the remote it might go: scene 1, scene 4, next page arrow, scene 2, scene 1 and so on. And it seems to differ from one burned DVD to another.
    HELP! I've been trying to solve this problem for three days.
    Thank you.

  • Scene selection freezes burned dvd

    Hello,
    I recently burned an iDVD project that was about an hour long. The finished burned dvd plays on a dvd player when I press play from the menu. However, when I try to go to the scene selection sub menu I created, it will not work. In fact, when I try to go to a specific scene, the whole dvd freezes up in the dvd player. Any ideas on how to try burning the iDVD project so that the finished product has a working scene selection? Thanks as always.

    Hi
    +If I was unable to produce a successful disc image with a working scene selection (the freezing happened when I played the image too), does that mean I have a bigger issue than just Memorex vs. Verbatim? I have a feeling that even if I buy the Verbatim, the scene selection will freeze because it froze on the disc image anyway.+
    YES. If the DiskImage don't work. Don't burn it onto DVDs.
    The problem is in the process to make the DVD in iDVD.
    eg using .avi movie files, .mp3 sound etc.
    a. secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk
    (other ones of no importance)
    b. Versions of Mac OS, iDVD and QuickTime (important) up to date
    c. Material to build DVD from only.
    • streamingDV (video+audio)
    • .aiff (audio eg from audio-CDs)
    • .jpg (photos - I use this)
    Nothing else - convert it to match
    d. START a new iDVD project and make Your DVD-design and then a DiskImage
    e. Test this with Apple DVD-player
    Does it work - burn it with either
