Adding 7th Chapter Button

Hello,
I created a series of slideshows in iDVD, each of which is represented by a chapter button on the menu. I know that I'm supposed to be able to have up to twelve chapters, but when I go to add the 7th button (there will be 7 or 8 slideshows total), it simply gets added to the first and only chapter menu, and crowds the menu. What I would like to have is the little arrow button that will take you from Chapters 1-6 on the first page, to Chapters 7-8 on the second page, and then the second page would have an arrow to take you back to the first page.
In other words, shouldn't iDVD automatically create a second chapter menu page when I add the 6th, 7th & 8th chapter (slideshow) buttons, rather than cramming them all into one page? I'm using the "Shelves" theme and the shelves only hold three buttons each (six per page).
Thanks for your help.

iDVD6 doesn't deal well with overload. It's a consumer app. As such it has presumed settings and calculations. It can't be all things to all people .... no way.
On the other hand, as your stated your objective:
What I would like to have is the little arrow button that will take you from Chapters 1-6 on the first page, to Chapters 7-8 on the second page, and then the second page would have an arrow to take you back to the first page.
I can do this no problem within DVDSP .....works like a charm!

Adding Sub Chapter Buttons in Encore

I am using the standard sub chapter templates provided in Encore. These templates have three buttons in them. I have 5 chpaters on my timeline. How do I add buttons to the subchapter template to accomodate more than tree chapters? Second, once I add more buttons, how do I point the main menu to the sub chapter menu? Thanks.

Adding "next chapter " functionality to menus ?

Is there a way direct the next and previous chapter buttons on a MENU to another menu or track? (not the arrow keys!)
WMP dosent seem to recognise transparent buttons with the mouse, and it dosent include arrow keys for navigation..
Its tough as Im building a "power point style" presentation and trying not to junk it up with buttons.
Oddly enough, Apple's DVD player seems to have simmilar problems, even though they work fine in the simulator.
Personaly I think it would be nice to add this functionality, as on many dvd players the chapter forward and back buttons are more easily found than the arrow keys. So if nothing else, just used for redundancy and added functionality.
Thanks!

The problem occurs when invisible buttons are not detected by software players. (WMP) Visible ones seem to work.
So, "Click anywhere on the screen to proceed" does not work. And it looks like the answer is to just add visible buttons to everything. If chapter forward worked, it would solve this. Is there any way it run using a script?
This works great on a $30 hardware dvd player, just wish I could get everyone to use it on one. But that just isnt going to happen.

Adding arbiitrary chapter markers

I have a timeline for export from FCP to DVD SP and I have added 5 chapters just for viewing or FF purposes, in other words these do not lead anywhere. Can I just add chapter markers without adding compression markers.
Thanks
Jeff

The reason I am inserting these chapter markers is basically for the viewers convenience. what I mean is they go to a specific chapter (usually sequentially in the timeline) but do not have a chapter button on a menu. These chapter markers can only be accessed using the remote for the DVD player. The FF I was referring to meant FAST FORWARD.
Now the reason for my posting was to refresh my memory as to if I am inserting chapter markers in this fashion, when in FCP (Final Cut Pro) do I need to make both chapter marker and compression marker.
Thanks

Strange bug -- adding one more button OR page causes Form warning to appear

I'm building a simple interactive document in InDesign CS4 on the Mac, to be exported/delivered as a PDF. There are a few text-based buttons on the Master Page that are set to Go To a Text Anchor on Release. There are 4 buttons of these buttons on the page, and each one leads to a different page in the document, and they all work fine. They are all built the same way.
I want to export a PDF that opens cleanly in Reader, meaning no unexpected dialog boxes or warning messages appear. Up until this point, my document opens cleanly in Reader.
However, when I create a FIFTH button (using the exact same method used to create the other buttons), OR I add ANY more pages to my document (which currently stands at 16 pages, but will need to ultimately be upwards of 40), for some reason, opening the PDF in Reader causes Reader to start displaying the large, distracting pink warning message at the top of the page:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
The fifth button I create (from scratch) causes this message to appear.
Or, if I add another page (using my Master Page, where the buttons are used), this message appears. Even if the fifth button is not created, and I add another page from the Master, this message appears.
If I add a blank new page (without using the Master Page), the message does NOT appear.
So, for some reason, adding ONE more button, or referring to the Master Page in the document ONE more time by adding a 17th (or more) pages, seems to kick InDesign/Acrobat Reader into thinking my document is suddenly a form, and causes Reader to display that obnoxious pink message when opening the document.
I've tried several troubleshooting steps.
- I've ensured my buttons have unique names.
- I've tried creating the fifth button from scratch, and also tried creating it from duplicating one of the existing "good" buttons.
- I've made sure the button has a destination page/Text Anchor to go to.
- I've opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9, and gone through all of the page and buttons in the Forms Manager, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in that view.
Why is Reader suddenly thinking my document is a form (that "cannot be edited/saved") when I add one more button, or one more page!? It's bizarre, and quite frustrating.
Thanks for any insights,
Robbie

You can use that same workaround with ID CS4 files. You just have to make the PDF and then go into Acrobat to add the security that doesn't allow editing (Acrobat -> Security -> Encrypt with Password) . That gets rid of the warning about the form. Of course if you actually have a form somewhere in your document, you won't be able to use that......

Editing chapter buttons problem

Hi
I'm trying to alter the font and size of the text for my chapter buttons on my submenu. I single click to select the button I want, and then click again but it keeps taking me into the movie instead of highlighting the text! I know this should work as I've done it before - are there any tips in how to do this successfully or another way of doing it?
Many thanks
Ian

You don't need to highlight the text to change size and font. Click once on the button to select it, and then open the buttons panel to change font and size.
You need to click twice on the button if you want to edit text content, but wait a few seconds between clicks.

Adding a push button on the report toolbar

Any way to override adding hidden chapter?

Hi, I'm new to Encore (had it one day).
My first DVD showed something unexpected and annoying to me, which apparently is a "feature" added to Encore 2.0. I made a simple DVD with a single title ("timeline" in Encore speak) and set it's end action to jump to the first chapter of the same timeline. It seems that instead of doing that Encore added an extra chapter at the end with a chapter end action. See this previous thread:
jbowden, "Encore 2.0 adds an empty chapter??" #1, 27 Feb 2006 12:11 pm
This is a problem for me because I am making DVDs to use with Pioneer's industrial DVD players (ie: DVD-V7400) and those players will not play a chapter that is too close to the end of the disc.
My video clip is exactly 108900 frames and contains a chapter 2 mark 5 seconds before the end. I can not have an end action on chapter 1. The disc must play through the chapter 2 mark for at least a couple of seconds. Encore is adding an extra 12 frames and calling it chapter 3.
In the past I have exported MPEG-2 clips from Premiere and transfered them over my LAN to a Mac with DVD Studio Pro, where I authored the DVDs. I never had problems with the resulting discs, which only contained the 2 chapters, and had a title end action to jump back to chapter 1. I wanted to simplify my workflow and decided to buy Encore, figuring it was a professional grade authoring program.
Has anybody found a way to disable this "feature"? Or to adjust how many frames are added by it to the additional chapter? Besides the annoyance of the disc being created differently than I specified, it is causing me a problem because these Pioneer industrial players will not play a chapter that is shorter than 15-20 frames at the end of the disc. The chapter being added by Encore is 12 frames (at least it was on the disc I created).
If I could adjust the number of frames it adds, to make it say 20 frames instead of 12, then the "feature" would actually function for me. As it is this "feature" is breaking my disc and making it not do what it is intended to do. Of course I would rather just disable this "feature" and have the disc created the way I told it to.

I haven't done any real experimenting yet. I had other things to get done today so I thought I'd ask about it here while working on those. I'll try some experiments over the weekend. I'm sure I can make it work by adding another chapter 20 frames or so before the end of my clip and having a chapter end action jump from there. But it just seems silly to have to do workarounds like that to get around this "feature". I was hoping there would be a way to turn it off or adjust it's size rather than to add more chapters on top of an extra one already.
I burned 5 copies of that project for use in a multi-channel DVD synchronizer that I manufacture, and in this specific case I don't need the jump to work. I added it to this project because most discs I make will need it and I wanted to test it out. So I'm OK for today on this project, but next week I'll be making more projects, some of which must have working end jumps.

Chapter Buttons Select the Wrong Chapter

The movie was made with iMovie 06. I set the 6 chapters in IMovie 06 (about one hour long).
I then shared the movie with iDVD 08 and tested the movie using 'Preview DVD Playback'.
No matter which of the 6 chapter buttons I click on, the movie always goes to chapter 2.
Pressing play from the main menu does start the movie from the beginning.
In looking at the logic tree, my chapters appear to be in the correct order.
I have made several movies with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 without difficulty. I have not updated any software since using iDVD 08 successfully in the past.
Any advice is appreciated.

Adding a Glossary button which doesnt move the timeline on !

I'm using Captivate 3. On each page there is a
backwards/forwards button. On this one module we've now added a
'Glossary button'. If the user clicks this it opens up a external
PDF file in a seperate window. That works fine.
Say they are at the end of a page , the page is paused as its
waiting for them to click Back/Forward or Menu.
However if they click the Glossary button this moves the
timeline forward as its a kind of 'continue' which is frustrating
as it then moves to the next page. I just want them to be able to
click Glossary as many times as they want and the program doesnt
move on a page.
Has anyone come across this before ? Just want a button which
doesnt seem to move on ! Its not set to continue at all. Just set
to open an external file
Regards

Hello P_SJ,
The way I would tackle this would be to create the button in
Adobe Flash (including the link to the PDF document) and then
import this into Captivate as an animation. The reason for me
suggesting this is because with Images and Animations you can make
the object persist for the entire project (Options tab > Display
for > rest of project).
If you don't need the button to persist then you could just
disable the Pause after option (Options tab) in the Button dialog
and set the On success menu option to Open URL or file.
I guess that even if you did need the button to persist you
could just copy the button and paste this onto all the relevant
slides. That might work as well.
HTH

Simulator Play/Stop/Forward chapter buttons

This is probably the easiest of questions, figuring as such since I searched the forums and I don't see anything on it. I am new to DVDSP and can kind of find my way around, but need help on some things.
I have a movie I have exported out of FCP with chapter markers as an m2v file with sound as ac3. Placed in DVDSP and then pointed each text item on the menu to go to the chapters and they work however when I use the Simulator, the play, stop, forward and back chapter buttons don't work.

Answered.

Next-chapter button behavior at the end of a track

This is probably a silly question.
When the DVD is on the last chapter of a track, from then on I want next-chapter button to return the user to the menu screen. When I don't do anything special to the settings, DVDSP's simulation does nothing when I press the next-chapter button. But when I play the DVD back on a set-top player, pressing next-chapter begins playing a seemingly random other track. That's certainly not what I want.
How can I set the next-chapter button to return to the menu?

Press F3 to get to advanced layout
Go to Outline View
Highlight Track
Click Connections Tab in the main window (menu/viewer/connections)
You can set the next jump there (same for chapter) but not all players behave the same. Stories with a "dummy marker" which disables all user controls briefly seems to stop most of the players from jumping

Editing access sequencing between chapter buttons

The theme I am using has a default of 6 chapter buttons per submenu. I have 37 chapters, so I am interested in reducing the number of submenus required to navigate to all 37 chapter buttons.
I used the "Map" view to drag/drop 4 chapter buttons from submenu 2 up to submenu 1, resulting in 10 chapter buttons on submenu 1. (I stopped at 10 because iDVD issued an error message that 12 buttons was the max per menu screen ... 10 chapter buttons + next submenu + prev submenu = 12)
I drag/dropped 6 chapter buttons from submenu 3 up to submenu 2, and 2 chapter buttons from submenu 4 up to submenu 2, resulting in 10 chapter buttons on submenu 2. ... etc.
After arranging the 10 buttons into logic order on the submenu screen, I was happy with the look. However, when the dvd is burned, the dvd player's remote control is not able to logically select the chapter buttons. Using left/right sequence in subgroups of 3 or 4 or 5; up/down may jump to a different subgroup of buttons. Very nonsensical for an normal user.
Is there a way to edit the details of each chapter button to specify where to go depending upon which remote button (left/right/up/down) is pressed next?

In short, no. There is no way to set the order of the chapters for selection with a remote for a DVD player. All remotes do not work the same way, so even if you 'fixed' the sequencing for yours, it probably wouldn't work on another player. My DVD chapters seem to order differently on the two main DVD players I use at home. One seems to always want to jump to the navigation arrows before going to all the chapters.
I often do what you do to get a few more chapters per submenu. Depending on the theme (if you use one), the sequence of chapters can be top to bottom or left to right. Some themes will not permit more than 8 chapters per submenu. But even with just the default submenu number of chapters, I still find that I cannot always get to each chapter in order using my remote.
I have taken to numbering each chapter so that even if the remote doesn't go to the next correct one, I can easily see which one I want by its number.

Chapter buttons do not behave alike-how to correct?

Hello,
I have an iDVD ('08) project with 6 chapters. Everything seemed to be set up automatically, but when I mouse/click/use remote, two of the chapter buttons are different.
Text buttons- most of them change color when moused over, etc. Two of them don't- instead a small box appears to the left of the text.
I clicked the info pane, but can't figure out how to make all the buttons behave alike. How can I change this?

I figured it out- Advanced --> Reset object to theme settings- made all the buttons uniform.
