Burn without a menu

What's the best way (using IDVD5) to burn a DVD without a menu so that it will start playing immediately when opened? Can you do the same thing with Toast?

I FOUND THIS INFO IN ROXIO AND IT WORKED FOR ME - I FINALLY CAN MAKE iMovies from Toast without Menus and without converting the entire movie to Quicktime which freezed. Good Luck on the following:
How do I export an iMovie project to be used in Toast 6?
Solution:
If you are using iMovie HD (iMovie 5):
1. Quit iMovie and save the iMovie project you are working on.
2. Control-click on the saved project file and choose "SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS" from pop-up menu.
3. Open the "iDVD" folder in the "Shared Movies" folder.
4. Drag and drop the iMovie reference file into the Toast video window.
The reference file will have .mov after the name and include the word "movie" in the icon.

Burning a dvd without a menu

Hi
Im trying for a week now to burn a DVD from ProCS into Encore.
I mangae to get the video in but then got to build and get Title Remote not set. I want to build a DVD without a Menu just simply like the video says with out a menu. But I havent found it easy at all and you most definetly do need to know about Encore unlike wht the Video workshop says.
I just want to burn a DVD without a menu guys can you help?

"Title Remote not set" isn't an error, but a warning. It means that if you don't set it, there will be no action for the [Title] key on the DVD player's remote control. If you don't want or need to support the [Title] key then there is no problem.
For a DVD without a menu simply add your video to a timeline, set the timeline as "First Play" and set the end action of the timeline either to link back to itself (for a looping presentation) or to stop.

DVD without a Menu?

Can iDVD be used to make a DVD without a menu? I was unable to delete the menu. I dragged the video to the drop zone that indicates it will play when inserted, though afterwards it is going to go back to the menu.

How to create a DVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

SMARTBAR in FORMS 9i without DEFAULT menu

I need in my Forms 9i the SMARTBAR without DEFAULT menu.
DEFAULT menu and DEFAULT&SMARTBAR menu is possible, why not a SMARTBAR menu (internal)?
Regards
Friedhold Matz

The reason that there is no Smartbar on it's own is because the smartbar is driven off the menu - Menu Items can expose themselves on the smart bar if required, but any smartbar item has to be in the menu (but it can be invisible).
So to only have smartbar would involve a menu full of only invisible items, but that would mean that peoplw would not be able to add their own menus to co-exist with the smartbar.
You can always edit the menudefs.mmb file (it comes with the 6i demos which you can pull off OTN)

Why does this forum open in a window without the menu bar ?

When coming to this forum trough the " Access the Java Studio Creator Community Forum" link on the "Java Studio Creator Forums" page, it opens a browser window without the menu bar. I understand that Sun thinks it's better for me not to have the menu bar, but I personally prefer to have it. What I prefer over everything else is to have the choice.
By the way, one of the reason I prefer Sun products over Microsoft products is that I generally can choose what is better for me. Like to have or have not a menu bar, or to have my IDE in english rather that in french. (By the way, this last issue has been solved ;-))

Use this direct URL, you can have the menu bar still --

DVD PRO burning a dvd without a menu after compressing from fcp7

I editing my project using FCP7 then compressed it using best quality DVD 90 min in Compressor and now I am try to burn dvd's using DVD PRO. I am trying to make a dvd with no menu-I just want to be able to hit play and have the dvd play without any graphics on a menu in the beginning. I am trying to import using DVD PRO does not work. I have also tried to export using Compressor-does not work. I keep getting a warning box popping up that says there is trouble in the files or not a compatible file from compressor. I do not understand how that could be since I compressed it using compressor-do not get it. Thanks.

DVDs use an MPEG-2 codec, so regardless of which codec FCP uses to compress the Quicktime file, it will end up as MPEG-2 when you burn to DVD. So as long as the video preview plays in iDVD, you should be fine just using the "Best Quality" setting.
If you are really concerned about the quality, you can also try exporting the video using Compressor and authoring the DVD in DVD Studio Pro. It's a bit more complicated, but the results are worth learning the software.
Hope this helps.

Burn a slideshow without a menu to dvd-r

Help! I'm trying to create a self-running dvd-r to be played tomorrow saturday oct 1 on a widescreen plasma tv monitor without using any of the iDVD menus.
I tried to use the quicktime export to iDVD in iPhoto, and then just copying the .mov file to the dvd-r but the player doesn't recognize it.
Is there a way to add _TS information? Any help would be appreciated.

Not 100% certain so I went to the help menu in hopes of finding a possible quick solution for you. Don't know if you have already read this but i will post it here in case you have not:
Looping movies and slideshows
Instead of returning to the menu after playback, you can set slideshows or movies to "loop," or repeat from the beginning. When a slideshow finishes, it starts over with the first slide of the slideshow. When a movie finishes, it loops to the first scene of the movie.
If there is background audio for the slideshow, the audio restarts from the beginning when the first slide appears.
You can loop any movie or slideshow. Looping is turned on automatically in a menu with a drop zone.
To turn on looping for a movie or a slideshow in the main iDVD window, select the movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu. Choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow. To turn off looping, choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow again.
To turn on looping for a movie or a slideshow (including autoplay movies and slideshows) in map view, click Map. Select the movie or slideshow icon and choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow. To turn off looping, choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow again. Looping autoplay movies can be useful for creating self-playing presentations, such as kiosks.
To turn on looping for a slideshow in the slideshow editor, double-click the slideshow button in the menu to open the slideshow editor. Select the checkbox labeled "Loop slideshow." To turn off looping, click the checkbox to deselect it.
When looping is turned on for a selected movie or slideshow, a checkmark appears next to the Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow command in the Advanced menu, and a small gray icon appears in the lower-right corner of the movie or slideshow icon in map view.
To exit from looping when viewing the DVD, press the menu button on the DVD remote control.
Good Luck and please post back and tell us how you finally decided to addressed this isssue.

SP 4 menu template simulates fine but burns without background image

Hi there,
this is my first post & I hope you can help. I have just upgraded to SP4 and have created a menu with a supplied template ( the city one). I put in a vid in the bill board & added a few chapters......all good. It simulates perfectly but when burnt the background menu image is missing leaving a white background.
Any ideas???
Lachy

Looks like you have up to date video card, but you can try switching from hardware to software encoding. DVD SP 4.1 has had a couple of weird issues. Do a quick search for white or white background and you can see some recent suggestions to try to help trouble shoot (there were a few, but do not recall all the things that worked for various people)

Failure to Burn due to menu length

My project for DL DVD completes the process to burn but hangs up at writing lead in and won't continue. My blank disk is kicked out. I get no error messages, but the bar regarding menu length is red. How do I reduce the menu length without shortening my overall movie. Can I remove the video from the menu and use picture icons to reduce length? If so do I need to delete encoding assets before trying to burn the dvd again? I am using a 5.0 idvd theme.

The problem usually is that you have used a long movie clip in a menu drop zone (say a 15 minute clip) - even though you only display a short segment of the movie (say 30 seconds), the entire 15 minutes is included.
Shorten your menu clips to say a minute or two.

Premiere elements 12: how 2 burn video with menu on avchd disk with 1280x720

Hi, I have a source HD video (from TV) in resolution 1280x720/50. In export presets for avchd disk I only can find presets for 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. I'd like to export this video with menus in 1280x720 which is original resolution to AVCHD disk.
How to handle?
Regards, Juergen

Juegen
No version of Premiere Elements lets you produce a DVD disc with or without menus with AVCHD format of 1280 x 720 at 50 progressive frames per second.
The burn to disc, DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray are offered as you found them.
You could burn your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content to a file AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) via Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p50. And, then burn that file to a DVD disc as data disc if the disc capacity allowed. But you would not have any menus. Disc menus are offered only for burn to disc/burn to folder. And, important, stop markers do not function at playback of the Premiere Elements (any version) AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Fastest/simple way to burn DVD- no menu?

To burn DVD's at work - I normally use an external DVD recorder at work- Play down clip, hit record, done.
At home I only have the Quad and FCP studio.
I have a simple 3 minute clip in FCP.
I exported a QT to the desktop.
I want to burn a DVD. No menus. Nothing.
I have never used idvd or dvd studio.
Is there a way to perform a simple drag/drop and burn?
Thanks

Open DVD SP - drag the QT onto the Menu which is 'First Play'
Hit the yellow and black icon at the top to burn.

Open Adobe Reader without Tools menu or Fill & Sign menu

Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1 (x64)
Adobe Reader XI 11.0.10
When I open a PDF file, I often get a menu down the right side of the Adobe Reader window. Usually, it is the Tools menu; but if the PDF file is a fill-in form, I get the Fill & Sign Tools menu. Rarely do I need these menus. Is there an option to launch Adobe Reader without these menus?

We ended up finding a registry key which forces this menu to come up each time:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral]
“bBrowserDisplayInReadMode”=dword:00000000

I don't want themes or menus in iDVD - how to burn without?

Is there any way I can drop a quicktime movie onto the first frame of the map view
in iDVD and just burn a straight auto-play DVD without any menus or themes appearing at end or beginning of the burnt DVD?
Do I have to get other software to do this?
cheers

It was written for iDVD 6, but should work for iDVD 8 as well.

Can you make a DVD without a menu?

We need to make a DVD of a Quicktime movie I created.
I can do it just fine using one of the supplied themes.
Looks great.
But in this circumstance I need to make it so the movie keeps playing continuously in a loop.
Is there a way to make it do that through iDVD?
I also tried a version using Roxio Toast.
It can create a menu-less DVD that plays back continuously.
But the quality pales by comparison to what iDVD creates.
Any suggestions?

Yes.

From *iDVD Help*: (Look there to see this entire explanation with pictures):
+Creating a DVD that plays automatically when it is inserted into a DVD player+
+You can create a DVD that consists of a single movie or slideshow that begins to play automatically when the viewer inserts the DVD into a player. Such a movie or slideshow is called an “autoplay” movie or slideshow. You can also set the movie or slideshow to loop so that it plays continuously in what is called “kiosk mode.” This is great for creating presentations to be used in a kiosk or for making simple projects that require minimum viewer interaction.+
+To create a looping autoplay DVD:+
+Open iDVD and choose “Create a New Project” in the dialog that appears.+
+Type a name for your project in the Save As field, and then click Create.+
+The iDVD window opens with a default theme selected. This theme will not appear in your final DVD because an autoplay DVD does not use a theme.+
+Click the Map button (shown below) to open the DVD map.+
+Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos or Movies.+
+Drag a movie or a photo album, or even a single image, from the Media pane to the project icon (shown below).+
+You can also drag images or movies stored elsewhere on your computer or a connected server.+
+You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.)+
+To turn on looping for the autoplay movie or slideshow (a single image is also considered a slideshow in this context), click the project icon and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
+If you added a movie with sound, the audio of the movie is retained, so the viewer hears it during autoplay.+
+If you added a slideshow, you can double-click the project icon to open the slideshow editor. There you can add a single audio file or a playlist as a soundtrack and set other slideshow features, such as transitions and slide duration.+
+Click the Preview button (shown below) to see how your movie or slideshow looks.+
+The iDVD remote control opens, and your DVD begins to play immediately.+
+When you’re finished, click the Exit button on the DVD remote control to return to the iDVD window.+
+If you are sure your project is the way you want it, you can burn it to a DVD. When you put the final DVD into a DVD player, it begins to play immediately and will continue to play until you stop it.+
If you are ok with one of the iDVD menus and just want the movie to loop, select 'loop movie' like this:
Also from *iDVD Help*:
+Setting movies and slideshows to loop+
+You can set slideshows, autoplay movies (which start to play immediately when a DVD is inserted into a player, before the DVD menu appears), and movies to repeat continuously, or “loop.” This means they begin replaying immediately after they end. If they include audio, the audio also loops.+
+Looping an autoplay movie is especially useful for creating self-playing presentations, such as those used in tradeshow kiosks. For more information, see Related Topics below.+
+In map view you can see at a glance which slideshows and movies are set to loop. A circular arrow symbol appears in the bottom-right corner of the icon.+
+Here are ways to turn looping on or off:+
◼
+Double-click a slideshow button on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor. Click the Settings button (shown below) and select the “Loop slideshow” checkbox.+
◼
+Select a slideshow icon in map view, and then press Command-I to open the Slideshow Info window. Select the “Loop Slideshow” checkbox, and then close the window.+
◼
+Click a movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu, or a movie, slideshow, or autoplay movie icon in map view, to select it, and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
+When looping is turned on, a checkmark appears next to the command in the menu. To turn off looping, select it again to remove the checkmark.+
◼
+To turn looping off for a background movie on a menu, open the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (but with no buttons or text items selected), press Command-I. Move the Loop Duration slider to zero.+
+When you’re viewing the burned DVD, you can press the Menu button on the DVD remote control to exit from looping.+
Please post back if these do not address what you are wanting to do.

How to run a vi without using menu button on top

i got to execute or run the labview program without using the menu button.There should be a button on front panel clicking on to it must run the vi.

Hello, i am also new to labview but i experienced that you can use
a while loop for this.
You need to connect while loop with an boolean button,
so everything which is included within the while loop will start only if
the boolean button is "True".
best regards
