Can you PREVIEW the DVD menu you're creating in FCP7 via SHARE

I can create it, but is there anyway of seeing it in a larger View then
the little thumbnail size window on the bottom right were you
add the elements?
Can you preview it in any way, like iDVD or DVDSP, before you actually do the burn?
I realize that may be alot to ask of this new mini-built in DVD burner feature, but I just
wanted to confirm you can or you can't. Also whether you have any control over
the size of the background picture you add in there, or if you stuck with whatever the
dimensions of the original media create?
Thanks.

GOT IT!
Copy the BDMV folder from the AVCHD disc to the desktop.
Use HandBrake to convert the .m2ts files to H.264
Then convert the H.264 files to an editable format.
Rather convoluted process but it works.
Anyone know a better method?

  • Can you have anything play before the DVD Menu using Premiere Elements 9?

    Hi,
    I'm new to this and creating a DVD with photos and video from my sister's wedding.  Does anyone know if you can have anything play before the DVD Menu appears?
    Thanks,
    Angie

    Many of us use DVD Architect Studio as a supplement to Premiere Elements, because it's such a powerful DVD authoring app and it only costs $39 when yo download from Sony Creative Software.
    I've written a book on DVD Architect Studio 4.5 -- and my new book for DVD Architect Studio 5 will be available on Amazon.com at the end of this month.
    And, yes, it absolutely shows you how to add a video clip before your menus!

  • I would like to create chapters within my footage for Scene selection on the DVD menu

    I have edited footage using FCPX and exported it to allow me to use it in IDVD. I now would like to set chapter markers so that the DVD menues allow for scene selection. I believe that I may have to do this in FCPX before exporting it
    Can you tell me how to do it.
    Thank you

    This is one of the most embarrassing omissions in FCP X. There is no proper facility to add chapter markers and export them with your movie.
    The way I get around it is to make each chapter a separate project in its own right. I then export each of the chapters and when I bring them into my DVD Authoring application, it's a synch to add the chapter markers (between each file on the timeline) with precision.
    As you've already created your project (presumably in one hit) create a new project for each chapter then copy and paste the relevant clips into each 'chapter' project, then export.
    Alternatively, you can add chapter markers from within the preview window in Compressor if you have it - but it's quite fiddley and not very precise.

  • I can't recognize the DVD RW Optiarc

    Dear Sir,
    My system can't recognize the DVD RW on my Entertainment Notebook HP Pavilion dv6815el.
    I've upgrade it  to Windows 7 12 months ago, without problem, but from 5 days I've big troubles!
    Maybe for some mistake, using Nero or Alcool virtual drivers,  there is an  incompatibily beetwen drivers.
    Iìve  suddenly unistalled those programs, but   as in Device manager as on windows explorer I can't see it anymore
    It seem to work only  fiew seconds lighting and noising,  when I load a CD or DVD,  after it stops.
    I tried with  fixwin and by modifiyng regedit; now I tried your checks as suggested, but no results; there isnt!
    And I can't open DVD/CD-ROM Drives find it in order to find and uninstall it..
    I find only the HD drive and,  if plugged, a external DVD RW.
    Also restoring  old system images, I cannot fix the big bug.
    By driverwhiz I can see it;  Pls see my shots as follows:

    At last, I can't  see, as in other models of HP notebooks, in  the bottom, under the battery,  the small screw  in order to put out or  change this Optiarc device, if damaged.
    Help me please!!!!

    Hi,
    The easiest solution may be to run Windows System Restore.  If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you will need to disable Nortons Tamper Protection as shown in Step 2, on the link below.
    http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20091112171719EN&ln=en_US
    Once you've done this, shut down the PC.  Windows System Restore is usaully best run in Safe Mode.  Tap away at f8 as you start the PC to enter Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter.  When this has loaded, from the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore.  Pick a restore point before the problem occured and then proceed with the restore process.  Windows will reboot as normal.
    If this doesn't work or you do not have a restore point earlier than the problem, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the links below.
    Windows 7
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If the drive is not working, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.  Right click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall this, again not deleting drivers if asked. Then open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.
    Reboot the PC and let Windows reinstall the devices.  Check the drive again.
    If it still isn't working, run the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below again.
    Windows 7
    Next, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Hope this helps.

    Why does final cut x not recognize the sharp PN- K321 monitor ( European version ) as output video monitor, and premiere yes?

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • Slowing down the pictures on the DVD menu

    I am using one of the 6.0 themes, the black reflection one. For the DVD menu, you can drop up to 8 or so photos. These photos then flow sideways across the screen repeatedly. My thing is, I think they flow to fast. Like it is hard to focus on them because they are moving so fast. Is there a way to control the speed of this?

    Hello Gobigredfan,
    guessing here...
    you should be able to extend the duration of the menu by dropping different audio into the menu. check in the settings tab to see how long your menu is.
    Example: if it's 30 sec choose a 60 sec audio clip and replace the original music with that. as your menu becomes longer, it should slow down.
    hope this helps

  • Jumping back to the dvd menu after video ends.

    Helloooo, I have Dvd Studio Pro 3.0.2.
    1. When my movie/video ends it just goes to a black screen. How do I make it so it goes back to the start of the dvd menu?
    I know I have to use a script or something its just how do I go about it. Is there any step by step instructions anywhere on the net for this type of thing. I have tried the dvd studio pro help and can't seem to find what i am after.
    2. Also I have TWO MENUS and the first menu is like the intro, and the second is the actual menu where you play movie etc...
    Can I make it so when the first menu is done playing the intro it goes to the second menu. Cause there is no timeline for the menu. I just want an intro and then the menu!
    Cheers

    This is the help stuff in the DVD STUDIO PRO saying about the JUMP thingy for the scripts.
    I have applied it and nothing happens.
    I know you have to put the JUMP command and then where you want to go. (Main Menu)
    Nothing happens I have tried for hours to try and get it and it doesn't go back when i use the simulator.
    1 Create a script and select it.
    2 Enter Ocean End as the script’s name.
    Note: Enter Beach End and Trail End as the names when creating the scripts for
    the other two tracks.
    3 In the Script Editor, select the first command line (Nop).
    4 In the Script Command Inspector, choose Jump as the command.
    5 To configure the jump command, choose Tracks and Stories > Beach > Marker 1 from
    the Jump To pop-up menu.
    Note: Choose Tracks and Stories > Trail > Marker 1 and Tracks and Stories > Shopping >
    Marker 1 when creating the scripts for the other two tracks.
    6 Add a compare function to the jump command to test to see if a Play All function is
    in process.
    • Select the Compare Command checkbox.
    • Choose GPRM 0 as the “Execute if” element to be compared to.
    • Choose equal (=) as the “is” compare operation type.
    • Choose Immediate as the “to” element type to compare.
    • Enter 1 as the “with value.”
    If GPRM 0 has a 1 in it (indicating the Play All function is in progress), this jump
    command occurs. If not, the script moves to the next command line.
    7 In the Script Editor, click the Add button.
    The next command line (Nop) is added to the script.
    8 In the Script Command Inspector, choose Jump as the command.
    9 To configure the jump command, choose Menus > Main Menu > Button 1 from the
    Jump To pop-up menu.
    All I am guessing is that how does it know when the movie finishes. I am just putting in a jump command in. like it seems i have to do something else.
    Help me please!!!!

  • I can't open the DVD tray

    I can't open the DVD tray. There's nothing inside. I hear a sound (a grrrr) but it won't open.
    I had that 2-3 times in the last 5 years and I always managed to open it by pushing the "DVD ROM drive open button" while I restart but not this time.
    I also tried to put a paper clip in the little hole but that doesn't work either.
    In the Apple help site, they say push the "eject media key" on your keyboard; I didn't know where that is but I know now it's the F12 key; when I push it I hear a sound coming from the tray (like a electric screwdriver) but nothing happens.
    So what can I do ?
    I saw that Andrew Favret had the same problem in October and Don Archibald said:
    • Boot or restart the machine, immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. This will bring up Startup Manager. Once Startup Manager has finished loading, press the key combo Command-. (Command-Periodkey). This should open the tray.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I tried the "Option" key. The Start Up Manager appeared: A display with my 5 drives in the middle, and a Right Arrow icon on the right.
    I did click on the right arrow and it started to load normally as it does when you turn the computer on.
    So I try the whole thing again and now instead of clicking on the right arrow, I tried the command and period key. I hear again, a sound coming from the tray and I see the icon for "eject" on the screen but nothing happens. Tried 5-6 times. And the F12 key don't have any effect at this time.
    If I had a disc in the tray, I'm sure the icons for the DVD drive will appear but the tray is empty.
    Not sure if there's a relation but I just upgraded that same day to a new version of iTunes (from version 7 to 8.0.2) and 3 other upgrades: QuickTime player (from 7.1.3 to 7.5.5) Plus Java and Security something.

    Usually there is a CD/DVD in the tray that won't eject, but you say the tray is empty. Are there any other users of you Mac, especially kids? Someone may have placed something in the tray that is causing the jam.
    Here's the usual fixes.
    First try a Restart while holding down the mouse button.
    If that doesn’t work, look at these links:

  • I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

    I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..

    The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
    Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
    Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.
