Authoring DVDs for Windows Media Player: right hand menu bar

Hi, I'm using DVD Studio Pro 4 to author a DVD. It's quite a simple one, just an option to play the whole video or to go to the chapter index, where there are 9 chapters to choose from.
I've noticed in Windows Media Player that, although the DVD works fine and the video and chapter names come up on the menu as expected, in the player's menu bar on the right you get "Untitled DVD" and then "Title" 1-10 instead of the video and chapter names. Is there any way of authoring the DVD so that this right menu bar displays meaningful names? Or is this something that needs to be done in the player?

The info that Windows Media Player uses to identify the disc is not stored on the disc. Windows Media Player accesses on on-line database to get the DVD name, exactly the same way that iTunes get CD names. If you do not have a commercial DVD then all that will ever appear is, "Untitled DVD".

  • DRM for Windows Media Player on the ipod

    My ipod is worthless, if it can't play files with DRM for Windows Media Player. My library, that offers this files for download says, it would cost 50.000 dollars to provide also ipod-compatible files. Because they can't spend this money, I will need a new mp3-player!

    The specs for the iPod (box, website) are pretty clear about what formats it supports. Unfortunately, protected WMA files are not supported.
    If the rights you have for those files includes burning them to an audio CD, you might want to do that.

  • EXPORT LONG FILES IN 1080p for Windows Media Player

    Hello, need some help in exporting and encoding some large files from Premiere CS6.
    We have 4 Sequences, each totalling 45minutes in length and in 1080p (ProRes422).
    We need to export and encode for Windows Media Player as quickly as possible.
    Looks like each export is going to take over an hour from Premiere as "Match Sequence Settings"
    -keep in mind there is NO AUDIO.
    Once it's out of Premiere as an MPEG, I can transcode to any format. Ultimately WMV would be optimal,
    but we need to transcode the MPEG into a MOV file before 'Episode' will accept it, just to make the WMV files.
    Target files: (4) 1080p Windows Media Player compatible files
    Does anyone have a better workflow workaround? Midnight hour and need help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    Thanks Jim, I can't export to WMV out of Premiere or Media Encoder. I use Episode to make my WMV files, and since Episode doesn't take MPEG in from Premiere (sigh)
    I have to first make them in Quicktimes..
    But yes! Anything Windows Media Player can handle... should I just go with the 5GB MPG files? No way for me to test, I'm on a Mac and these are playing on a PC
    thanks for your help

  • Plugin for Windows Media Player is not working with Firefox 4 on Windows 7

    I updated my Firefox to the latest version 4 yesterday, but since this time seems plugin for Windows Media Player not working anymore. When I visit some website with embedded video - like [http://www.ta3.com/sk/live this] - the window with WMP is not displayed and no video is playing. The website reports: You don´t have any plugin for playing of this video.
    I reinstalled the plugin for WMP several times - with no success. This problem is on all webpages with embedded video for WMP. The installation of WMP plugin is successfully finished, but no video is playing. I checked the “plugins“ folder in the installation directory of Firefox and everything seems to be OK. Where is also the problem? Please, help me with solving of this problem...

    There is no Windows Media player plugin for any browser on Android. If you are lucky download the file and see if any of media players on the system can play the file.

  • Streaming Video for Windows Media Player?

    You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
    WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

    However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

  • Downloading plug-ins for windows media player

    i'm a brand new mac user -- bought a macbook less than 24 hours ago. i have not been able to trouble shoot installing plug-ins for windows media player. if anyone can advise, i would be most appreciative.

    Windows Media Player for Mac was discontinued more than a year ago by Microsoft. They recommend using the free Flip4Mac player <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia >.
    A good addition to your arsenal of media players would also be the stand-alone VLC Media Player <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>. It's a Swiss Army Knife of media players.
    Hope this helps!

  • DVD decoder for Windows Media player

    When i put a movie dvd in my satelite A10 he open windows media player and then he says that he can't find a dvd decoder. What must i do to watch dvd movies?

    Hi kole
    Ivan25 is absolutely right. But nevertheless if you want to use the Windows Player, you need compatible codecs.You can find the latest Windows Media Player 9 Codecs Pack on many sites in the World Wide Web. I found this site. Please take the look.

  • Title names when playing a DVD in Windows Media Player

    I've created a DVD using DVDSP. About 30 videos all broken down by subject and given a good title. About 5 sections, 6-8 videos per section - a lot of authoring and all the tracks have titles.
    My client loves the menu setup but is complaining that when the DVD gets put into a PC, Windows Media Player launches and there's a bar on the right that just says "Title 1" "Title 2", etc....
    Of course on a commercially available DVD, the chapter titles show up correctly.
    I've tried to explain that my understanding is that WMP queries an internet database for this information and there's no way for my DVDs to get cataloged in this database.
    Now they claim they've found a production company that can fix their problem and they're asking for the raw video files. I think they're going to see the same results.
    So... Am I wrong? Is there a way for me to author these DVDs so the chapter titles can be given custom names that show up correctly in windows media player?

    I did NOT know that. So in order to use that stupid player for DVDs you must be online? That's absurd but about what I'd expect from Microsoft. Thanks for including the links to the online database, that wil help others who face this same issue.
    As for your competition, be professional, sell them the files and wish them good luck. But be sure you are adequately compensated for the work you have done up to this point and for the services you wil provide the other guys such as dubbing or copying the raw media files. Do not forward any work you have performed without being compensated and be sure they understand they may not use your menu designs or concepts without paying for them.

  • Disc information for Windows Media Player

    I have a client who wishes the DVD title and track information to be displayed in Windows Media Player (which he uses to view DVDs on his computer). As far as I am able to determine WMP downloads this information from the Microsoft Windows Media database when the disc is opened in WMP. I have not been able to find a way to upload this information or store it on the disc in a way that WMP can access.
    There is a process described in the WMP help file which seems to work for media files (audio or video) but it does not work for DVDs. I am not sure if it is because the DVD is a read only device or whether the process is not meant to work for DVDs. The help file only uses an audio file as an example of how the process is meant to work.
    Any information - even if it is to say it can't be done - would be greatly appreciated.
    Trevor

    Alex has you covered... it can't be done on a burned DVD from DVDSP. Is your client able to view this data from other projects written to DVD-R? (by that I mean content authored on DVDSP or Encore or similar, not copied from a mass produced DVD).

  • Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

    I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
    Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
    solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
    Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
    Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
    I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
    Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • Converting QuickTime to format for Windows Media Player

    I have some QT movie clips on my Mac that I need to play on a PC which does not have QuickTime installed. The computers I need to use these movies cannot have QT installed on them because my employer does not support QT, only using Windows Media Player.
    So, how do I convert the QT clips I have on my Mac in to something that will play on a PC Windows Media Player ? Is it possible? I'd like to convert them, put them on a CD or DVD and then play them on the PC using Windows Media Player either from the CD/DVD.

    You could use Flip4Mac with iMovie. Which you probably have. It's easiest with QuicktimePro though.
    Flip4Mac PlayerPro converts WMV to mov ($49)
    Flip4Mac Studio converts MOV to WMV ($99) and includes PlayerPro too.
    Flip4Mac Studio Pro adds 2 pass encoding (more control over data rate) and WMV HD (HiDef) ($179)
    The Flip4Mac series are all plugins that work in other programs QuickTime based programs.
    You'd open your MOV file in iMovie for example and use the Share export feature Advanced and save as WMV. It'll ask you for settings which depends on what you're actually using the WMV for (broadband, dial up, play from a PCs hard drive).

  • How do I find plugin for Windows Media Player in MacPro

    In my previous PowerBook G4 I have been able to access TV newscasts from Europe, in streaming video, especially from Channel France 2. To do this, I have used Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9 for MacOS X, which comes with an asx plugin and it works fine. When I installed WMP in my new MacPro, the plugin was not installed. I queried Microsoft on how to solve this problem and I was informed that Microsoft no longer supports WMP 9 for the Mac and has no plans to upgrade it. Consequently, my alternative could be found in Windows Media Player components for Quicktime by Flip4Mac. This plugin allows you to play Windows Media Player files in the Quiktime player directly. I went to the FlipMac web site and downloaded it only to discover that the existing version will work only for G4s, not Intel Duo Macs.
    Microsoft's media player 9 for the Mac is being used internationally for streaming video.
    Does anyone know of an alternative plugin that would work and where do I find it?
    iMac G4, PowerBook G4 and MacPro Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    iMac G4, PowerBook G4 and MacPro Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    iMac G4, PowerBook G4 and MacPro Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    There is flip for mac and VLC
    http://www.videolan.org
    Give this web site a look see.
    Your solution makes sense. But when I downloaded and installed VLC Media Player for Macintosh, I found that one needs to have a developer's experience to figure out how to make it work. It isn't as simple as Windows Media Player 9 which works easily after you determine Preferences. Video streaming from news outlets is instant. Instructions from videolan on how to use its media player are confusing. Is there a simple way or easy steps to set up VLC to play streaming video from network news outlets with player embedded in their web site? That's all I am interested in. Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

  • Encoding iMovie files for Windows Media Player

    iMovie 11 / 9.0
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    I edit audio/video in iMovie (currently the only program I have) and need to output for streaming on the internet. Most of our subscribers are using older versions of Windows Media Player and as I understand won't be able to play MP4. I couldn't play the MP4 using Windows Media Player 9.0, "invalid format" error.
    What software could I use to convert MP4 to a format for streaming on the internet that our subscribers play using WMP? Should I save the file out of iMovie in a different format to convert?
    I have Adobe Media Encoder 4.2.0.006 but my options are h.264 or flash, got error messages when I tried to "Edit Export Settings".
    Thanks

    The easiest way is to upload video to YouTube and embed videos on your site from there. This way you don't have to worry about which version of Windows, which version of Internet Exlorere, etc.
    Another way, ask your users to install QuickTime For Windows. Then export normally,
    Another way, get one of the paid versions of Flip4Mac, and you can convert files to wmv using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.
