Audio selection in Cs5.5 Encore auto plays rather then just changes audio track

I am an Encore newbie after moving from DVD SP to Encore for blu ray menu authoring. Ive read and re-read the help files and they seem to be the same for Encore versions going back to at least cs3 for this issue ... so i must be doing something wrong or Encore just cannot do a very basic thing...
I am building a blu-ray with a singel video track and 2 audio tracks. I am trying to link a menu to allow a user to select a 5.1 or 2ch version of audio for a feature film. All shoudl be straightforward. i have a menu with several buttons. Each button links to an audio track in my timeline.
However, when i test my links, instead of just changing the audio and returning to the menu (as per the instructions in the help files ), the film plays from the beginning.
The correct audio track is played, but that is not my intention at that point. I want the user to choose the audio track and then allow the user to press another play button or go to another menu and back again before the film starts.
So how do i just change the audio track but not play it there and then ?
The help says use 'specify link' so i choose that option and select the timeline, yes, select the audio track 1 or 2, yes. But there is no different way to do this if i actually wanted to play the track at that time as well. What is the fundemental bit i am missing here ? Something to do with button type or some werid overide setting i am missing ? Can Encore actually do this ? its rather frustrating having come from using DVD SP which allows you to script everything and set gprm/sprm registers, to a program that does not seem to allow you to do anything beyond very very basic authoring.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

To return to menu after changing the audio or any subtitle track, you should select the desired menu in the Specify Link option and change the audio and subtitle accordingly.
In the example above, what I have done is, I went to the Specify Link, chose the menu as the target and also changed the audio track there and clicked OK
So here, after pressing Button 3 (Item 3), I would return to the menu and my aduio would be reset to audio track 2.
After that, whatever timeline I play, that would be played with audio track 2.
That is just a small example to show how it is done. Set the navigation as you like.

  • I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack, but certain songs play halfway then just cut, and play the next track...how can I get a refund or re-download?

    I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack and in the downloads sections, all music downloaded to complete, yes more than half the tracks play halfway then just cut out and play the next track...it's awful...how can I resolve this??

    I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.

    Does a Reset work? Mostly unlikely! [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • Want movie to auto play -- do I need to import it twice?

    I made a 58-minute video in iMovie HD with iDVD chapters, then I clicked the button to send the movie to iDVD 5. The movie imported great into iDVD and was to take 3.9GB of a 4.0GB DVD. However, when I clicked the "map," I noticed the first slide was to auto play the movie. GREAT, I thought, that's what I want, as this DVD is for a bunch of seniors who would benefit from auto play, but then also being able to select a certain scene that they wanted to go back to (it is a video of a speaker on medicare with a corresponding printed outline).
    When I selected the movie from my movies folder and drug it to that first slide in the map field, which was auto play, I noticed that then the size of my project went from 3.9GB to 7.8GB. It would all fit on a DVD-R, but the quality would be reduced because with all that data, iDVD would need to compress more. I don't really need to import the movie twice, do I, if I want auto play AND chapter selection?
    My question is, is there a way to use the same movie in iDVD to auto play AND to be able to select the scenes/chapters I inicated? I tried to drag and drop the movie in the map view on the third slide to the first slide, but it would not allow me to move it, or set up an alias pointing to the original movie.
    I suppose I can delete the third slide movie that iMovie auto imported and then just import the movie manually to auto play area, but then I don't know if that will erase allow for the use of chapters. Does anyone know about this?
    Please help if you can. Thanks.

    I think I may answer my own question here. According to this page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164968, it says "iDVD doesn't create scene menus for autoplay movies." So if I want a movie to auto play AND have scene menus using the chapter markers, I will need to import the movie twice and just live with lower quality. If anyone else has any input, I'd love to hear it, but I really need to keep the scene menus in my movie AND would like auto play. For now, I think I will just pass on the auto play, as I need scene menus more than auto play.

  • Video auto play in safari

    I'm using an iPad 2 and have upgraded to ios6. Now, when I open a web page that has embedded video, it auto-plays and then I have to search all over the page to find the video to stop it. It's extremely annoying. Is there some setting that I need to change to make it stop?
    Thanks

    I confirmed that the inclusion of the autoplay attribute in the HTML5 video tag does indeed cause autoplay in iOS 6 (I went to the nearby Apple Store and tried a test page on the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 and the new iPod Touch eschewing the iPads since mine are already upgraded to iOS 6).
    HOWEVER, the latest version of the Safari Developers Guide I could find in Apple's development sites still clearly states that this should not be possible in Mobile Safari as a safeguard against eating up users' data without their permission.
    Thus, I'm curious whether this was an intentional change on Apple's part or some bug that got through the QA process for iOS 6.
    Has anyone been able to find official documentation from Apple clearly stating that autoplay should now work in Mobile Safari?
    Thanks!

  • Can't auto play music post iweb 1.1 update

    Hello,
    I have just updated to iweb 1.1. On the previous version I was able to publish and edit the html source using Taco HTML Edit to auto play Quicktime music attachment but with the 1.1 update I can't seem to find the source code for the music attachment. Please look at the source for this page:
    http://web.mac.com/dilation/iWeb/Site/Foundation.html
    there definitely is music attachment but can't see it from the source. And for some reason I need to right click the play button to play rather then left.
    Does anyone know how I can make the music to autoplay post iweb 1.1 update?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The recent update to iWeb now places QuickTime content in a javascript file. Yours is:
    http://web.mac.com/dilation/iWeb/Site/Foundation_files/Foundation.js
    And the music file is:
    4-11%20Piano%20Sonata%20No.13%20in%20E%20flat%20major,%20Op.27_1%20III.%20Adagio %20con%20espressione.m4a
    It includes many spaces and some punctuation that could cause issues with playback on some machines.

  • No sound from some audio tracks ... help!

    I am using GB 08 to add music to a movie for a friend's memorial. ( A keynote presentation exported as a QT movie)The Movie itself has no audio, I want to use a variety of songs that blend into each other.
    I'm used to doing this with Final Cut, but decided that i should familiarize myself with Garage band this time.
    I just added the 10th track and now can't get some of the other tracks to play. It's weird.
    Tracks 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 play, but 1, 3, 5, and 8 don't.
    (i suppose i could just split the odd tracks and move the sections to the tracks that play, but that wouldn't really give me an answer for this)
    I have volume level keypoints where the volume rises and drops, and this action does happen on the volume sliders, and the green levels are visible, but no sound.
    None of the tracks are muted or soloed.
    Any suggestions for correcting this?
    I've closed the program and restarted it and one time everything was fine, until I added that 10th track
    thanks for your help
    Elizabeth

    Okay, thank you, I just tried it
    I added a new basic track, it was not muted or soloed.
    So i dragged my audio into this new track and it played fine
    then i deleted this track and just simply dragged my audio into the composition, as I have been doing, to create it's own new track, which then also played fine, then I deleted this one.
    then i added 2 basic tracks (since the problem seems to be with alternating tracks) and dragged music into them and they both work.
    so I don't know how to make the problem recur with the new tracks, but the original tracks that I wrote of, still don't play.
    Anyway, I've saved it as a version b and have been cutting and pasting the bits of the 'silent' tracks into the good tracks so that they play .... looks a bit like a mosaic but is working so far.
    very inconvenient though.
    Any more suggestions??

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

  • Can Encore cs5.1 do auto chapters & displays a thumbnail for each??? Please help...

    Can Encore cs5.1 do auto chapters & display a thumbnail for each??? Please help...
    Can it be a moving thumbnail? I see where it can create index marks at auto intervals but no associated thumbnail.
    I've searched everywhere & cant seem to find this feature. Many other programs have this feature. Does Encore 5

    Use a video thumbnail submenu for the first submenu, add the auto chapters, then use the chapter index feature:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/encore/cs/using/WS185296FB-D1BB-4d52-ABC4-316DF795FD05.html
    Then make each submenu animate buttons. (Perhaps that last step can be done after the first submenu is added; not sure about that.)

  • How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

    After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?
    How exactly are you doing this?
    When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file.  Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
    You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

  • Audio Track Not Changing CS3 Encore Preview

    I have done this before (it has been a few months) and I hope I am missing something obvious.  I have 1 timeline with 19 avi's from PPCS3 with their related audio on Audio 1 track.  I have added music on Audio 2.  Everything plays fine in the monitor when I select either Audio 1 or 2 with the little speaker on the left side of the timeline.  My main menu has a button to select a submenu that has two buttons - one for game sounds (soccer games) and one for music.  I have used specify link and choose the appropriate audio track and link back to the main menu.  Just for fun (after I could not get the music to play in preview) I added a subtitle track 1 that contains the artist and song title (my first attempt at subtitles) and this works fine when music is selected (and not when you select game sound since I set subtitle track to 0), but in preview it is stuck on Audio 1 and even when I change manually in preview to Audio 2 - Audio 1 keeps playing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Bob

    Took a hint from another post that preview does not always work.  This is the first time I have had this problem, but I usually come to Encore by way of export from PPCS3.  I built to folder and it played like I wanted with software.  Now I will finish the project and feel confident that it will work.
    Just in case anyone is reading this, I had another error that it took me a few minutes to figure out in this project.  The default location for chapters was too close to the beginning of a chapter and that chapter would not play even though the build check said there were no errors.  I hope some of these problems are not in CS5.

  • Adding Menue Audio Track selection and soubtitles on/off

    Hi,
    with some help from replies to other questions I managed to get a working DVD/BR with cool 2.0 / 5.1 sound and subtitles.
    But for now I do have to select the audio track manually and also I do have to enable subtitles from the DVD/BR players menu.
    So I wanted to add a DVD/BR menu where you can choose the audio track which should be played and to switch on and of subtitles.
    I edited a nice PS PSD File with some buttons and they show up in Encore and I can do some "encore" editig like moving tham arrond or link to some other elements.
    My question: How do I get e.g. the Button "2.0 Stereo" to select the stereo track and the button "5.1 Surround" to select the 5.1 track. An other button should switch on/off the right subtitle
    Than I'd like to have a button which starts the video with the selected audio and if selected subtitle on.
    At the end of the movie I like to be back in the menu.
    I bet thats simple
    I thought to create different timelines and add the audio/video/subtitle, but that i have a lot of timelines in all sort of combinations; e.g. video ON, 5.1 sound ON, subtitle OFF ..... video ON, 2.0 sound ON, subtitle ON etc ....
    Thansk for any suggestion . and BIG thanks. Götz

    Thanks for your posting, but there is the higlight  Layer.
    I opend the menue in photoshot once more and enabled the layers.
    For me a button has the following different states:
    Normal, no highlight,just "plain" text. e.g. "English Subtitle". in that state, the Subtitle is NOT selected/enabled.
    Mouse Over, the highlight shows up, so you can see where you are with your mouse. e.g. "English Subtitle √"
    Mouse left click, the highlight "sticks" to the menue item and when moving the mouse avay it is still highlighted, e.g.  "English Subtitle √"
    So I'd liked to indicate which audio track is enabled/selected and if subtitles are off or on.
    I thought, the highlight button states are markend with (=1) & (=3) ....
    BTW. in encore menue edit mode, if I click the show selected/activated Subpicture Highlight, the right layer shows up (with my √-symbol)
    But in preview mode or on a burned dvd this did not work
    Regards . Götz

  • FIX SLIDE SHOW FREEZE (auto play / loop) IWEB 09

    IWEB 09
    I Dropped a still shot slide show quicktime video onto my home pg. I used inspector to remove the play menue bar tab and then selected the video to AUTO PLAY and LOOP
    When you go to the site everything is fine until your mouse curser crosses over the video and you simultaneously scroll down... it freezes the video and unless your smart enough to double click on the video to start play again it will just freez up.
    Why is this happeneing? how do we avoid this? the whole purpose to dropping a video on your pg and having it run in auto play and loop is to be hands free and allow playback while you navigate... it shouldn't freeze up like that
    anyone ever have this issue? know how to fix it?
    Would very much appreciate your help
    go to www.flatironfinishes.com you will see what I am talking about
    Thank you!!

    yeah you bring up a good point, I think as I was reading tutorial on how to upload audio and auto play/loop it I added it to the pg. and then took the company logo and pasted over that audio box...... later I wtched tutarial on uploading a quicktimes video and auto playing / looping
    Yeah I am not to savy on codes and website building.... but can go back into IMOVIE and add in the audio to the movie file and have only one file...
    Thank you for pointing that out.
    now the html snippet is not recognizig the folder and file in my FTP files?? so the quicktime icon is showing.
    So lets say I combine the audio and the video and then drag n drop it into the home pg. as originally done...
    If it continues to freeze when you move the cursure over the video and scroll down..... what would I do?
    moving the curser over the video does nothing its the combonation of scroilling down and having the curser over the video that it freezes up??
    appreciate you guys walking e through this
    S
    I am getting closer... I think?

  • Premiere CS5 to Encore 5.1 Blu Ray track from six mono wave files

    When preparing a 5.1 mix for a theater presentation, I had repeated trouble trying to get a blu ray disk to reflect the 5.1 mix our sound engineer created, so, having had success this time, I wanted to record my procedure.  You gurus might catch something I missed, so critique this where necessary:
    I'm running Windows 7 Professional, Premiere CS5 and Encore CS5.  
    You will need to purchase the Minnetonka Surcode for 5.1 ( http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=74)
    Mine installed without any hitches.  
    In your Premiere sequence, make sure you create a 5.1 Master audio track.  (Very important)
    Create 6 5.1 audio tracks
    Import your six mono wave files.  (L.wav, R.wav, Ls.wav, Rs.wav, C.wav, LFE.wav) but DO NOT drag them to the timeline yet.
    Right click on each .wav file in the project panel.   For each one, select Modify -> Audio Channels
    In this dialogue box, you can select mono, stereo, mono as stereo, or 5.1.  Choose 5.1.
    Each of your wav files should be mapped to the proper representation of the 5.1 icon, with the black dot appearing where the final name would imply. (the *c.wav file would match the icon as it appears below.
    Continuously click on the icon will bring up new channel options. (see illustration below)
    For more info on channel mapping, see:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7f46a.html
    (continued..)
    When all your wav files are mapped to the master 5.1 audio track, you can drag them to the sequence and  you can export your audio file.
    File -> export -> media 
    My objectives was to get an *.ac3 file to drop into my encore project, since I had trouble with dynamic link, so the next step for me was:
    Format:  H.264 Blu-ray (note export audio only didn't give me the 5.1 surcode option, but I got it this way:)
    uncheck export video
    export settings, h.264 Blu-Ray, Dolby Digital, SurCode for Dolby Digital
    Our engineer recommended:
    Dialog Normalization should be -31
    Dynamic Compression should be set to none
    The export resulted in an AC3 file that was a perfect match to the sound mixer's file on his end.

    You can skip the Modify step and just route the tracks from the Mixer.
