Can't set end jump in DVDSP2

I'm running DVDSP2 on a Mac G4. When I'm trying to either set the end jump for a track or the target for a button, whenever I click on the bar which says 'No Target', it becomes blank and it won't drop down so I can set the target.
Anyone experience this problem before or is a re-install at hand?

Do you have DVD SPs connections type button set to show "Advanced"?
If it set to something else, like "Basic", you will not see all the connection possibilities.

Set end jump to stop, still won't stop...

I have a 20 minute dvd program with no menus that is set to play upon insertion. Set chapter 1 end jump to stop - didn't stop. Added a chapter 2 marker in black at the end of the program and set its end jump to stop - still won't stop. Read the other threads that suggest I do what I've already done. Tried both in simulator and burned discs and played in my DVD player -- program just keeps looping. Thanks for any help...

Personally, I wouldn't put the end jump on the marker - I would set it for the track. You can end jump to a script if you need, which simply reads:
Exit
(which I guess is what you are already doing). However, if you are putting an end-jump on a marker, make sure it is not placed at the very end of the track. If you have a marker just on the section of black, then set the end jump of the marker before to go to your script. This earlier marker finishes where the next marker starts, so you should exit before the black section.
If you exit in this manner, then pressing play on the remote should re-start the disc from the beginning again, but the track should not loop. Are you seeing the loop on a software or hardware player?
It is, as you say, a simple task. I cannot get the track to loop if I end jump to an exit script, so I am not at all sure why you would be seeing this behaviour.

How can i set end user

HI,
I'm very new for this BI and dba.. I need one solution regarding view ... That's after development i want to give the reports to the end user.. So how to create end user.. For example if i want give reports to HR department then how can i give that to HR.. That is how can i set this end user.. Is there any web services related issues are there else any ideas behind that .. How to create this end user...

Hi
If you are using Discoverer in conjunction with E-Business Suite and your company has told Discoverer to operate in what is called Apps mode then the user accounts are picked up from E-Business Suite. So in this scenario you would need to get your EBS system administrator to create the account, assign a password and then assign one or more responsibilities that have been granted permissions in Discoverer.
In all other cases, when you are not running in Apps mode, then the user account will be a database account. As such, you would get your DBA to create the account and assign one or more roles that have been granted permissions in Discoverer.
SUMMARY:
When running in Apps mode, the user accounts are managed by the EBS system administrator and Discoverer understands and can work with Apps responsibilities.
When running in non-Apps mode, the user accounts are managed by the DBA and Discoverer understands and can work with database roles.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

End jump conundrum

So I have created an issue for myself:
Have several videos. Each can be accessed from two different paths. For example, you can click on a button on Screen A to watch Video X; you can also click a button on Screen B to watch Video X.
What does one do with the end jump in such a case?
Thanks in advance...

As you may have guessed I am an novice at this... I am a yearbook adviser who makes one DVD per year, so I have to grapple with this annually, but not enough to recall much from year to year.
Couple of questions:
1) Am I correct in recalling that these scripts cannot be tested via the simulator?
They can be tested, but it is never 100%, I use it more to catch errors before building rather than saying it is good to go.
2) Is there any quick way to test?
Building and playing off the hard drive is the next step, then building and formatting to a disc and testing on a few players (if not more)
3) Another question regarding the info you presented:
If there are only two ways to movie X, through screen A or screen B,
AND
there are only two ways to movie Y, through screen C or screen D (etc... for every movie)...
...can screens A and C use script 1 to set the variable while screens B and D both use script 2 to set the variable for the end jump for their respective movies? or does each screen (menu) require a unique script?
Probably not (well you could but it is a pain and I would not count on it being as reliable). Stories may be the easiest. Menu A sends to story A and set end jump for story A, Menu B jumps to story B, etc. At some point scripting may be easier (many menus, tracks etc.) but for smaller things stories are easier initially. (At least IMO, though scripts have good points. Though with DVD SP sometimes the scripts due to the Abstraction Layer can be..ummm..funky sometimes. Though for basic scripts [which would work for what you are doing] and avoiding certain calls they will work.)
Hope that makes sense.

Easy Question about end jumps

Here is my menu lay out. Three buttons.
Play all (Want it to play enire movie)
Play part one ( Play up to track 6 and return to menu)
Play part two (Play from track 7 to end)
Can someone please tell me how to do this correctly? What am I doing Wrong

Hi Deon - it's hard to say what you are doing wrong if you don't tell us what you are doing!
What I would do to set this up is place all the footage into a single track, set markers between each section and use stories to define which chapters play when each button is pressed. Your 'play all' button would point to the track itself. Your 'Play part 1' button would point to a story container, inside which I would place chapters 1 to 6. Finally, the remaining chapters would be in a second story and this would be the button target for 'Play part 2'.
You do not need to have the assets in separate tracks at all - if you want to play a single clip it can be in a single story with just one chapter marker in - each story can have an end jump setting to return back to the menu...
Hopefully this will help get you on the way, but if not please give as much info about what you have already done so we can start to troubleshoot it with you.

2 menus: how do I end jump back to the menu I was just in?

Hello,
I'm fairly new with DVD SP, but am happily hacking my way around. From what I've read, I believe the answer to my question lies with Scripts, which I'm not familiar with and found the official documentation on it a little thin.
Perhaps someone can help out with the following...
I have 2 menus pointing to the same Track. That Track has several elements in it, all Chapter Marked. On the two menus, the buttons point to each of those tracks, and the chapters play fine.
The problem is with the end jump of each chapter. Currently, I have it set to return to Menu 1, but ideally, if my last chapter was selected from Menu 2, I would like for the end jump to send the user back to Menu 2, not Menu 1.
Again, I'm totally novice with scripts. If this is too complicated to explain, can anyone direct me to some documentation somewhere that would narrow this technique down for me?
Thanks in advance,

You can set the stories so that each one jumps to a different place
1.) Remove all jumps from the markers outside the story
2.) Make the stories by dragging the markers you want to play (they can be identical, so each story can play marker 1,2,3 for instance)
3.) If story A called from menu 1, set end jump for story A to menu 1

End Jumps in iDVD.........??? Help..Please

Hello everybody. I have joined the Forun Yesterday.
I use iDVD to create my projects on DVD 5. I wonder is there a way to set End Jumps for every chapter (scene) just as in DVD studio pro ??? Please help me.
Kind regards
Murthy

Hi Murthy
No
But if You have a movie of less then one hour You can fake it.
A. You have Your movie
B. You make each chapter as an individual movie
C. Now You put them together on on DVD
Max quality 60 min => one 29 min main movie and about the same
for the chapters. With less quality You have about 59 min movie and
59 min for the parts.

End jump for Play All not working

Below is my question on an earlier post, followed by an answer from a forum member, which I thought was the solution. I followed his suggestion to link the play all button to Track 1, and then clicked in the track to get the track inspector and linked the end jump to Menu 1. It must have worked in the simulator, because I marked Steve's answer 'solved', but now when I play the discs I've burned, the play all button plays only the first selection and then return to the menu. Same thing happens in the simulator.
So please tell me how to get that play all button to really play all. It's driving me crazy, and I have to recall 2 discs I sent out to clients so far. If someone could walk me through it, I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
MY POST: I have 9 markers on the track for 8 selections, the 9th was added so that the track would play all the way through when the Play All button on the menu was clicked. When the user clicks on any one selection it plays through and returns to the menu. I can't get the Play to do that, it just stops at the end and the user has to click play to get the menu back on the screen. Again, the manual on page 490 mentions setting end jumps and says the end jump for the last marker is not linked to any targets, and must be set yourself. So I have tried several times to do this in an number of ways as suggested by the book. No go.
Again, simplest possible explanation, please, as I've used a lot of time on this, and have lost most of my concentration and patience(!)
thanks

Link the "Play All" button to the track, not the first chapter marker. Then click on the track. In the inspector, settings for the track will appear. For end jump, select menu 1. (or whatever you want it to jump to.) If you want each segment on the track to play individually and then jump back to the first menu, easiest way to do that is with stories. Check manual or do search of this forum on ways to do that. Hope that helps.
Steve

Hi Keith - there are several ways to do this. By far the simplest is to use stories, but there are two ways of doing that, too.
Here's one way:
Make sure you have the 8 markers that you need, and make sure that each marker has got an end jump on it to return you to your menu and the button for that section. Now add a single story and add ALL of the markers to that (drag them over from the story editor window left to right). You'll notice that the markers are labelled 'Chapter 1 Entry', which means you are not adding the end jumps to the story... each marker will play and then go on to the next in the sequence, ignoring any end jumps you have already put on the markers.
Now set your play all button on your menu to go to the story container (NOT chapter 1 inside the story). All you other buttons should point to the relevant markers on the track and not in the story.
Set the end jump for the story to go back to the 'play all' button on your menu, and set the menu call for the story to do the same. You can set the menu call for the markers as you want, too.
You should now have a single track, eight markers with end jumps, a single story with 8 chapter entry markers in it and a disc that alows you to play a single marker or the entire lot.
The alternative way to do this is to add your 8 markers as before (no need for 9), make sure there are NO end jumps on the markers and then add 8 stories. Put one marker into each story and set the end jumps on each story to go back to the relevant menu button. Set the menu calls for each story to do the same.
Now set your single chapter play menu buttons to the relevant story container (and NOT the chapter inside it), and your pay all button to the track itself. Set the end jump and menu call for the track to go where you want them to.
There are then at least two other ways to do this using scripts... but I figure these here should cover what you need right now! I'd recommend using the first method - it's quicker to set up and more simple to implement.

Story Markers not obeying end jump

Hello. I created a simple DVD with Stories -- 3 tracks each with 3 stories which correspond to the 3 chapters in the specified track. There is a Stories Menu with a button for each Story to 1) Play All (points to the track) and nine buttons, one for each Story Marker. The End jump for each Story Marker points back to the Stories Menu. The End jump for the whole Story is Same As Track. However, when simulated or played off a disk image, the story does not end jump, but rather continues to the next chapter. Have tried everything and searched for a solution, but it is confounding me.

Welcome to the Boards
What you should do is make a story for each section and set the end jumps for each story. So with 3 markers, play all story markers 1,2,3 and set the end jump for thee story (do not leave as same for track), section 1 story marker 1 set end jump for the story, etc. Should do the trick.

End Jump question

I'm putting together a DVD that begins with a series of 6 movie trailers (in one block) which then end jumps to the main menu.
I also have a Trailers menu, from which I need to link to each individual trailer
My questions is - how do I make the trailers individually linked to end jump back to the trailers menu screen, yet leave the first play trailers unaffected?
Message was edited by: Marc Morris

I think you need stories (or scripting?) meaning that you play all the trailers or just individual ones.
Place a maker before each section and set a "Play All" story with all markers in the story and set the end jump for that story to where you want it to go.
Then make a story for each trailer and set end jump for those.

How can I set the highlighted button according to the last chapter viewed?

I have a main menu with four buttons, each one of which takes me to a different chapter of track 1. When I press the MENU button on the remote and return to the main menu, I would like for the highlighted button to be the one corresponding to the last chapter viewed. How can I do this?
Page 247 of the DVDSP manual says the following:
Highlight Condition: Provides an alternative method to the Default Button setting for determining which button to highlight. When Highlight Condition is set to Default, the Default Button setting supplies the button highlight setting. When Highlight Condition is set to one of its stream settings (audio, subtitle, camera angle), the number of the stream last played determines the button to highlight. This setting can be overridden by any element that jumps to this menu, based on its jump setting.
I know that SPRM 7 contains the value of the current chapter, so when returning to the main menu I would like to use SPRM 7 to set the Highlight Condition, but I don't see a way to do that, since the only options for Highlight Condition are audio stream, subtitle stream, and camera angle.

Ah. Pre-scripts.
I would do this by tracking the menu, certainly, but I'd do that by using a set of scripts not as prescripts. So, if your main menu is the start up item for the disc, create a script that reads:
mov GPRM0, 1
Jump main menu
and set that as the start up item instead. Now create a second script:
mov GPRM0, 2
Jump Menu2
and use both of these scripts on any button that goes to a menu. For example, on the Main Menu you'll have a button that links to menu2... point that button to script 2 instead of the menu itself. Similarly, on the chapter menu if you've got a button that takes you back to the main menu, point that button to the first script.
For your menu call script you can now do this:
mov GPRM1, SPRM8
div GPRM1, 1024
Jump Main menu \[GPRM1\] if (GPRM0 = 1)
Jump Menu2 \[GPRM1\] if (GPRM0 = 2)
This could also be the end jump script for both tracks, too.
Now, Main menu will have three buttons, one for track 1, one for track 2 and one to go to the second script. Track 1 menu call and end jump goes to the last script, track 2 does the same. On the chapter select menu you point each button to the relevant chapter in track 1 and let the scripts do their job whenever a menu call is made or the track ends. The script will see you were on Menu2 and send you there, and SPRM8 will get you back to the button you last selected.
If, instead of this, you want to go to the button that represents the last chapter played on the chapter menu, and not the last button pressed, but still be able to get to the last button on the main menu then the script changes a bit:
Goto 5 if (GPRM0 = 2)
mov GPRM1, SPRM8
div GPRM1, 1024
Jump Main menu \[GPRM1\]
mov GPRM1, SPRM7
Jump Menu2 \[GPRM1\]
This sends you to the button relevant to the last chapter played if you came from the chapter menu, by jumping through the script to the bit that deals with Menu2, else it will work out the last button selected (and we assume this must have been on the Main menu because GPRM0 !=2 in that case), and send you to the main menu with that button highlighted.
If you've got any more scripts than that running, you've got too many... and get rid of the pre-scripts - they are more trouble than not, and don't work if you are using GPRM based button jumps anyway.

DVDSP - End Jump to Menu 1 and Chapters Markers from Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

I went to the Final Cut Forum and they sent me here:
Final Cut 5.0.4
DVD Studio Pro 4
I got to the point where I set the end jump back to Menu 1 for each of the two films listed with buttons on Menu 1 of my DVD.
One film has no chapter markers and the other has 4 chapters that I set up in Final Cut Pro, edited as Chapters and Saved for DVD Studio Pro when exporting the Quick Time. This functionality is great and very nice. At the end one does return to the (main menu) from both short films.
What I found, as stated in the manual, was the first chapter marker is automatically put in by DVD Studio Pro. On the film with 4 chapters by depressing the button on the remote one can skip ahead. When on reaches the 4th chapter one does not have a 5th marker for the end and one has to watch the 4th chapter to reach the end and then go back to the main menu. What I was trying to put in was a 5th chapter marker, or a marker at the end of each film where if one wanted to go back to the Main Menu before the film time had elapsed, one could hit the chapter ahead button and reach the end of the film, and be returned to the Main Menu.
When I put in end markers in DVD Studio Pro, the build stops stating there is a GOP boundry problem. After reading the manual I went back to end chapter markers in Final Cut, but these do not come through. I tried more than one second from the end of the movie but this does not seem to be the answer.
thanks in advance for your help.
Bill

Yes, the end marker is the solution, and it does need to be a certain distance from the end of the media. If placing markers in FCP, I put it 1:03 from the end. If you need to you can extend the FCP sequence, or even the track in DVDSP with a little black. In DVDSP, if I don't have an embedded end marker in my asset, I use the little "clicker" arrows next to the time fields in the marker inspector to move the marker two GOPs or "clicks" from the very end of the asset or track.
Hope this helps -

How can I set 'menu' to return to 2nd menu scene selections?

I have a two page menu. 1. Title page. 2. Scene Selections page. Once we are on the 2nd page, I want the viewer to be able to return to this page when returning from viewing a selection. There is a button on Page 2 to get them back to the main menu if they like.
Is there a way I can set the 1st menu page so that the viewer will return to it by pushing menu.
And likewise, set the 2nd menu page so that the viewer will return to IT by pushing menu.
So each page has a different 'menu' return setting?
All ears, Ben

You might be able to do this without scripting anything, Ben - the scripts are reasonably simple, but I know you won't want to get into those just yet!
One option is to use stories, and there are different ways to achieve what you want to do. For the sake of example, let's assume you have got ten scenes and at the end of each you want to get back to menu 2...
Create ten stories and add a single chapter into each from your ten available. Set the buttons on menu 2 to point to the corresponding story and then for the story, set the menu call so that you go to Menu 2 and land on the appropriate button. You should set the end jump for each story to also point back to menu 2.
Now, from Menu1 content, point to the track itself and set the menu call for the track to go back to menu 1.
When the viewer accesses the footage from Menu 1 and then uses the Menu button they will go back to menu 1. If they navigate to Menu 2 and access a single scene, that scene will play and go back to Menu 2 when done. If they press menu during the scene, they will also get back to menu 2.
Job done.
Now, if you want to do this in a better way, you only need to create a single story and drop ALL of your chapter markers into it. This will become the main feature where everything plays. Set the end jump and menu calls to go to Menu1. On Menu 1, set the buttons to target the content insode the story container.
To get a single scene to play you add end jumps to the chapter markers in the track (click on the marker, look in the property inspector or in the 'Connections' tab). Set the end jumps to Menu2 and the Menu command to Menu 2 as well. From menu 2 you point your buttons to the specific marker.
This also gets the job done, and neither method needed a script
