Buttons Not Working On DVD Player Box
This might be the same problem reported elsewhere, except that I'm not use Mac OS, its Win XP. I can get buttons to highlight in Encore preview when the mouse floats over but when I build the DVD and put it in a player attached to the TV the text remains inactive. Using the remote arrow keys you can advance to the start of the footage for the next button and enter starts it playing, but nothing happens to the text on the menu. The user has no idea what button has been selected until the video starts. Did anyone solve this previously ?
Thanks, Michael
Hello, I have little experience of PS and Encore, so let me explain what I thought I was doing as a result of following the online tutorials.
I want to add text boxes to a PS image, turn them into buttons which Encore can recognise, link these buttons to footage which, when a DVD is produced will play in a DVD player, and when the arrow keys on the remote are used that they indicate which button is available for selection. I've achieved all of that except the last part. I note that there are other people contributing similar items to the forum (even after I started my query) so I'm still not sure whether this is a bug or whether I'm not doing enough with the PS image to make it work.
Take one button, Sharks, as an example of what I thought I was doing and I'm perfectly willing to accept there might not be consistency between that button and the Intro button.
Initially I had (+) before the layer name Sharks with Sharks as the content of the text box layer
That didn't work so I revisited the tutorials and changed things to (+) before the Shark Set Group 1 thus telling Encore to expect a button
I entered a text layer with the word Sharks as that is how I thought I'd make the word Sharks appear as a button
I copied this and changed the text of the second layer to (=1) Sharks Button in expectation that when the remote moves to the button I could differentiate between the original text, (Sharks), and what appears when the remote "hovers over the choice like a mouse" (Sharks Button). I anticipated that it would appear slightly offset. If I've got the wrong expecation, fine, and at least you know what I was aiming at.
So are my expectations kranky / is there a bug or do I need to do something else. This seems such a fundmental expectation that buttons will work on PCs and DVD yet it looks like I'm not the only person having issues
I looked up your profile. I found the wine glass a heartening image under the circumstances, I might follow your lead, and I empathise with the eye comments !
Best wishes, Michael

Layered Menu Buttons not working on DVD player
Hello,
I just made an SD DVD with several layered menus. The backgrounds for the menus come from photoshop files with different layers for normal, selected, and active states. Navigating the main menu works fine in the simulator and when I play the disc in my computer, however, I can not arrow to another button on dvd players. I have made several discs this way and this is the first time I have had this problem. My burn process is to make an image and then burn the image in toast. Any thought?
-BrianHi Brian - welcome.
Layered menus are particularly tricky... they almost always require two actions from the user to get them working in a player. One click to land on the button and another to select it. This is really frustrating at times, but is down to the way the layered menus work.
You can convert them to standard menus pretty easily though, and unless you absolutely need to have different layers I'd strongly advise that you do convert them. Standard overlay type menus work with a rollover type of effect, allow you to have an audio bed and work far faster on DVD players.
The only time I'd stick with layers is when the selected state reveals a further piece of information that takes up most of the menu area. In all other cases I'd avoid them if I were you -
DVD Studio Pro dvd not working in dvd player
Hi There,
I'd really appreciate your help.
I've burnt a dvd using DVD SP - it reads 'formatting succesful' and ejects the disk.
It works on my mac but not on my dvd player - it reads 'disk error'.
Here's the thing: I've burnt it with ToastTitanium and it works on my dvd player.
So it's not the dvds I'm using that's the problem.
I've checked other forums and I've unchecked the box 'lossless linking' - still not working.
I'm desperate.
Please help.
SeanHey Mate,
Merry Christmas!
Just to be clear, here is a screenshot with a new project with no media, no template, no first play set etc...
And as you can see DVD Standard is greyed out.
Bizarre...

Eject button not working on dvd/cd tray
You name it, I've tried it! Apples advice was to backup my work and wipe the dripe and reinstall the OS. Guess what - the eject button still doesn't work! Well done apple. That'll be 2 days wasted of precious production time.
All this after a new power supply and logic board being installed by the apple store in birmingham because the mac had no power going to it. (6 week old MacPro 2.66) Yet the eject button worked fine when it came back from repair.
Has anybody got and realistic ideas as to why the eject button doesn't work.
I can manually eject the tray and also when using toast I can eject the tray - its just in the OS that its not working. I hav tried dropping a link to the eject button on the customize menu but the icon is just greyed out.
I have even dropped in a brand new cd/dvd drive from another mac still with the same result.Right - the story is concluded - Finally!!!! Apparently when the technician removed the optical drive unit whilst fitting the new power supply and logic board he didn't fit the cables back into the right places on the drive!!!
But at least now its fixed and I can get back on with some work. -
Imovie DVD not working on dvd player
I've used Imovie for the first time today. Exported it, burnt a dvd and tried playing it in a dvd player, xbox and my pc but it won't play. Its only playing on my Imac. Is it something i did wrong when i exported it?
Exported it, burnt a dvd and tried playing it in a dvd player, xbox and my pc but it won't play.
If by "exported it, burt a DVD" you mean you exported the project as a movie file and burnt the file directly to a DVD, then that is your problem. If you want the DVD to play on commercial players then you must "author" a DVD which converts the file to a compression format commercial players can read along with other files telling how to play the movie. Use iDVD to "author" the iMovie project as a "standalone" DVD. -
Remote control does not work with DVD player.
I have a HP Pavilion DV6135nr, the remote control came with the computer, its a RC6. I can not get the computer to recognize the remote control.
Have you tried if this remote works with any other HP notebook? if not, have you replaced the battery on the remote to check its not a battery issue on the remote?
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.
Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

It works on my Computer, but not in my DVD Player
I burned a DVD, It works on my Computer, but not in my DVD Player...why?
still am trying to figure out how to burn at a slower speed, I see no optiond on iDVD.
You need to create a disk image out of iDVD, then burn. See below.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Theme buttons won't work on DVD Player
I created several movies in iMovieHD and created a DVD (v 7.0.1) with those movies plus a slideshow. After a few errors (including the muxing error which i fixed by eliminating chapters) i got a DVD that, when placed in my DVD player, showed the theme (memories) and buttons.
However, i could not get my DVD player to switch among the buttons. if i pressed ENTER on my DVD remote, it would play one of the movies, but i couldn't switch around.
It did work on another DVD player however.
I am using DVD-R discs.
Any ideas? or do i just need a new DVD player?
It is a relatively new (but cheap) Coby.
thank you,
JenHi,
Just to see what would happen i tinkered with it a bit and it now works.
I changed the button type - the original (non-working type) had a dot next to it when selected, and i changed it to a type that was underlined when selected.
also, i had my buttons on two rows - one long button on top and four below. i shortened the name of the long one and fit them all on two rows. that way the dvd navigation only had to manage left and right not up and down AND left and right.
not sure which reason was the issue but it now works fine.

Chapter Marker Buttons Not Working & .dvdproj Files Too Large
Chapter marker buttons do not work after saving as VIDEO_TS folder. Only first chapter marker button works in DVD player after VIDEO_TS files are created. The other buttons do nothing. My chapters were created automatically in iDVD. Also, original .dvdproj file mushrooms from 132KB to 3.2Gig upon each "save as VIDEO_TS folder" process. Then reopening original .dvdproj file takes 5 minutes, and I must "save as" to create a new copy to bring the file size back to 132KB. This is horrendous. "Save As" file works fine, but makes a new huge .dvdproj file after creating another VIDEO_TS folder. Unable to complete any project in '08 iDVD.
+saving as VIDEO_TS folder.+
Don't do that. From Help:
+Saving as VIDEO_TS folder: Saving a project as a VIDEO_TS folder allows you to play it back, on your computer, using software such as VLC media player. Saving as a VIDEO_TS folder is similar to saving as a disc image: the output quality is the same, and both methods take about the same amount of time to complete. *You can’t burn a disc from a VIDEO_TS folder*.+

}thanks for your reply but I need more specific operation.
maybe I am not very clear about the problem one. I mean when I run the code in standard mode, if I click the browse button, a window will pop out and I can choose a video file from my local harddisk. but if I run it in "web start execution" mode and "run in browser" mode. the browse button make no response when I click it.

[SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working
Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
- Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
- Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
Thanks!Quote from: flobelix on 10-July-13, 00:47:56
Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
Hi,
I followed your advice:
1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
2. installed SCM, restarted
3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
4. resat the EC
But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.

Music buttons not working in lock screen on my iPhone 4 after iOS7 update.
After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, the music buttons like PLAY, REWIND and FORWARD are not working in the locked screen as well as on swipe up menu. Any resolution please?
hi there
i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone. so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help. -
