50 second video on main menu

I want to play a 50 second video on the main menu. I put it there, set the preference to 50 seconds (thought I did) but it cuts out around 37 seconds. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Jeff,
With the menu in question selected, make sure that you have the appropriate backround movie selected in the menu inspector. Under the General Tab, be sure that the "start" slider is at the beginning and set to zero. The "loop point" slider should be set to the same and the "end" slider should moved completely to the right. The times for end and duration should be the same. Lastly the "At End:"option should be set to Loop. If you have all these options set correctly then it might be an issue with your video file.

  • Video before Main Menu

    Hey,
    I want to have a simple video prior to my main menu. I have set the video to First Play then end action my video to my Main Menu. I clicked on the project preview, and it played smoothly into it. However, when I build the DVD, the video is missing and it goes straight into the main menu. Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    If you are viewing on a computer, this may be a problem with the DVD player emulation.
    To test, burn to a disk and play on a DVD player.
    Edit: your workflow sounds right; you might post a screenshot of your flowchart to make sure it doesn't show an issue.

  • Can you go back to second page of your menu without going to the main page.

    I have created main page (first play) and second page for the chapters.
    On the second page, after selecting any chapters, I want to go back to select another chapter from
    the second page, But the dvd takes me back to the main page instead of second page. Can this be
    corrected.
    Thanks

    Hi - welcome to the discussions.
    Yes, it can be corrected - what you've done is set the menu call and/or end jump to go to the main menu. This is completely normal, but sometimes you don't want this to happen.
    If you are playing a single chapter at a time and want to get back to the chapter menu afterwards then the best thing to do is to create a story and put the single chapter inside that. Point your menu buttons to the story container (not the chapter) and it will play. Stories are a little like tracks in that they can have end jumps and menu calls of their own. Simply click on the story, then use the commands in the property inspector to set up the place to go at the end of playback or if the user presses the menu button.
    You would then repeat this for every chapter that you want this to happen for.
    The whole track itself then acts as a 'play all' if you need it to - the stories do not interfere with this. You can set a different end jump and menu call for the track. An alternative would be to create a final story and put ALL of your chapters into it, and point your 'Play All' menu button to this story.
    Stories can also be thought of as playlists (like in iTunes) where you set up the chapters you want to play back in the order that you want them. I would avoid making these too complex, however as it has a knock on effect on the way the DVD player has to work to make a smooth playback.
    The other way to achieve what you want is to use some scripting, but there is no need to do this as it sounds as if stories will do all that you need.

  • I just bought Apple Tv.  Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv).  When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

    I just purchased Apple Tv 2.  Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing.  When i attempt to play itunes through  my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits.  Same goes for when I put my photos on.

  • Hi I was using whatsapp on my iPhone5.I was not able go to the main menu by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black

    I was not able go to the main menu from whatsapp by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black & white. how can i fix it?

    Hello monicaa003,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone display turned black and white after holding down the Home button for 2 seconds, first try pressing the Home button again to go to the main menu (Home screen.)
    For reference, holding down the Home button for 2 seconds will trigger Siri if that feature is enabled:
    About Siri - Apple Support
    If pressing the Home button doesn't return you to the main menu, try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Additionally, if Whatsapp is not responding or working as expected, see the troubleshooting steps at this link:
    If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.

  • DVD is autoplaying a chapter/video rather than waiting at main menu

    Encore CS6 on Mac
    Main menu set as First Play with @Stop to hold at that menu.
    I export my DVD and play on my LG connected to my TV. When the DVD autoplays it starts playing one of the videos, and not the first one (happens to be the one in the middle of the grid of choices).
    How do I get it to not autoplay a chapter?
    Thanks

    This is my flowchart. Disc is connected to main menu.
    If I remove 'first play' from main menu then the flowchart disappears, since it doesn't have a path into the disc at that point.

  • Video play back returns to main menu randomly, then I hear a bell sound.

    Any video from any source local or internet will occasionally stop and exit immediately to the main menu. When this happens I hear a bell sound. I have tried restoring, restarting, and even investigated if it was my bluetooth keyboard. Nothing helps.

    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • For Making iDVDs: How to do I set my videos so they automatically transition to the next video instead of going back to the main menu every time?

    Hello out there!
    Im trying to create a magic iDVD and I have some difficulty navigating my options. Some of my video's that I'd like to add are very short clips and I'd like view them back to back without having to go back to the main menu everytime after every short video clip. For example: a 1:08 minute video of my daughter's birthday and then a 3 minute video of her bithday...how do I make it so the 1:08 minute video automatically transitions to the 3 minute video without me having to go back to the main menu to manually select the next video?
    Please advise! Thank you so much
    citule

    You can't.  But (there's always a but) if you have enough room (i.e. playing time) available in the project you can create a slideshow in iDVD
    and add all of the videos to it.
    If you do that set the Slide Duration time to anything except Manual or Set to Music.  Also do not select an transition.
    When you click on the Create Project button in Magic Movie you'll be able to use the "+" button to add the slideshow to the top menu.

  • Encore CS4 - Main Menu Loops / Repeats Every Few Seconds (Blu-Ray)

    Hello there,
    I am experiencing a rather unusual issue with Encore CS4 in which after burning my project to Blu-Ray the main menu (which has a two minute long audio track linked to it) appears to "reset" itself every one or two seconds repeatedly, thus making it next to impossible to select any of the buttons on the menu itself. (I should also note that I've tried playing this disc on both my Blu-Ray player and my computers Blu-Ray drive and both of them have produced the exact same results)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    The only thing I can think of to try is to delete the menu from your project (again!).  Also delete the .wav file asset.  Save the project, then close Encore.  Launch En and open any other project.  Go to Edit | Preferences | Media and clean the cache.  Re-open the problem project and re-import the .wav file and the menu.  Hopefully cleaning the cache will reset whatever En is doing with the menu audio.

  • IDVD burned disk does not start at main menu

    The IDVD burned disk starts randomly in the middle of the disk. Cannot access the main menu. I started with an IMovie with chapter headings, videos and pictures. Then shared it with IDVD, created themes, music, changed the headers, etc. Burned the disk using the File Burn DVD command. The disk takes over 1 1/2 hours (IMovie orginal is 15 minutes) to burn.

    Hello to all of you first-timers here!
    Welcome to the discussions.
    First, are you using iMovie 9?
    Did you set chapter markers in iMovie? Did you follow the Chaper Marker Rules?
    RULES: No marker at the beginning of your movie, no markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or end of the movie, and no markers on or within 2 seconds of your movie.
    Next, did you put your movie in iDVD and then go make any changes to it? Sometimes that causes the chapters to default to the same spot in the movie. The only solution is to recreate the iDVD project.
    You should first try deleting iDVD's preference file. You can find this by closing iDVD, going to your Home file (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
    Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new one when you relaunch it.
    Reopen iDVD.
    Try creating the disk image file again or burning a disk again.
    If that results in the same problem, create a new iDVD project. Then, drag in the iMovie project from the Media/Movies pane in iDVD instead of sharing it from iDVD.
    Post back if that does not resolve the issue.

  • First Play then on to the Main Menu

    I am building a DVD that is 99% finished. I would like to add a 30 sec clip of video to the "front" of the DVD so that when someone puts it in, it plays the 30 second clip then transitions to the Main Menu. Any one know how to do this.
    I am using DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2

    Glad it worked.
    BTW (as an aside) down the road something to keep in mind it is always a good idea to start DVDs with videos, even if it is a few seconds of black on a track or an FBI warning video or something, so if you went with the loop menu route you can start with the couple of seconds of black then jump to the loop menu

  • Remote Menu button: to the chapter menu or the main menu?

    Using DVD Pro (version 4.2.1) for the first time, and I've discovered a lot of fun elements. Here is a question about the remote control settings.
    I want people to be able to return to the +main menu+ if they want while playing the track, by pressing 'menu' (and I've found the resume feature, too). However, the track has chapters, which are assigned to 3 chapter menus. So, when they are playing a particular chapter, i want them to be able to return from it to the +chapter menu+ it came from, by pressing the 'menu' button.
    However, this doesn't work: when playing the video track, pressing the 'menu' button takes me to the chapter menu assigned to that particular chapter, not the main menu that I assigned to the track.
    Well, I see in the handbook that the marker remote setting takes precedence over the track setting ... so which would you find preferable:
    1. when the viewer is playing the video, the menu button: goes back to the main menu.... then when the viewer is watching a particular chapter, pressing 'menu' also goes back to the main menu, instead of the chapter menu, so viewer has to navigate back into the 'scenes' menu
    or
    2 when watching the whole video, pressing 'menu' takes the viewer to the chapter menu and then has to 'up' to the Main menu.... and therefore when watching a chapter only, 'menu' button returns to the particular chapter's menu, which is fine.
    I thought I would have the 'menu' button return to the chapter menu:: up button for faster/easier access to the main menu, for viewers just watching the video, and convenience for viewers watching a chapter.
    What is the more experienced opinion?
    thank you

    Hal MacLean wrote:... 'Stories'. If you are playing the track from your main menu, then the menu call for the track should take you back to the main menu. If you are on a chapter menu and start playback then instead of going to the chapter marker, go to a story that contains the chapter marker instead. The story can also have a menu call and end jump set.
    Ahh!
    The thing is, if you start a chapter playing, do you want the footage to continue to the end of the track, ....
    Yes, that's exactly what i want, and as above, for the chapter in the chapter menu to return to that chapter menu
    If the former, put all of your markers into a single story and set the menu call to go back to the chapter menu.
    Thank you!
    I had already created stories from the second track on the dvd, with each one having an end jump back to the story menu and as no one had replied to this post, i had decided to make the chapters in the main track into stories too, but wanted them to continue into the next chapter. In fact i'd already created these 11 stories, some with 2 chapters in them, when I read your post.
    So i did as you said and put all the chapter markers into one story, with no end jump for the chapters, but a menu call from the story to the 'chapter' menu instead of the main menu. Much cleaner than the way i had started to do.
    And it works just the way i want it to : track's menu call is to the main menu, 'chapter' menu calls are to the chapter menu. Thank you so much!
