Cant select button in dvd menu
I have made a dvd menu in dvd studio pro 2, i can select the buttons with the control in the simulator, but then when i have burnt the dvd and try to do the same on my tv with the real remote control, I cant select the buttons.
Is there something under "remote control" I should choose specifically, "menu" perheps?
Plaese help, it's so frustrating
Is just one of your buttons selected when the menu starts up (it should be... the default button usually is selected)?
If so then I'll suggest looking at your button navigation - click on a button and check in the propertry inspector to see if the navigation has been set up - if not you can do it manually and specify which button you go to when any directional arrow on your handset is pressed, or you can let DVDSP assign the navigation automatically.
The latter is done from the 'settings' drop down box in the menu editor. I usually leave it until I have got the buttons into position before I add the navigation, because keeping them 'auto assigned' really slows down building the menu or moving buttons around.

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 youThis 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 have Apple TV version 7.4.2. We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did. Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off. If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away. I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference. Please advise.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore. -
I have never experienced this with Studio Pro, the only thing the menu is showing is the selected button. The menu (I am using one of the premade templates provided by DVDSP) is completeley not there. It shows up in the simulation mode, but when burned it neither shows on the stand alone DVD players or on the computers DVD Player. What happend. I can reinstal if neccesary, but thought I'd ask here to see if it has happend to others and how it was solved.
Thank you in advance.There can be a few things (if you have some more details on OS version of DVD SP etc. just making sure your profile at the bottom of the post is the up to date, etc.)

Set encoder prefs from hardware to software rendering -
First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn. I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.
Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here. -
DVD menu title selection on DVD player with DVD's burn from iDVD
Regarding DVDs burned with iDVD 6.0.3, I have burned multiple DVDs with 6 buttons on the main menu page each of which links to a short film. On the menu screen when I push the right arrow button on the DVD remote not all the menu buttons light up. In addition to pushing the right arrow button on the remote, I have to push the up or down arrow button on the remote (to the DVD player hooked up to the TV) to get to some of the buttons in my DVD menu to be selectable. The buttons are arranged by me in a grid sort of pattern. Is there a way in iDVD I can get all the buttons to be selectable using only the right or left arrow keys on the DVD player remote? Do you understand what I am asking?

And welcome to apple discussions. It's actually difficult to find standalone versions on ebay and CL / Apple's FCP and DVDSP. I found them myself but it took me a very long time. Not always something you can do overnight. But if you are very patient something will show up eventually.
If you need something now that works (although I advise caution as in backup your dvd or video_TS first) then consider this app for much less money (donationware):

Premiere Elements 9 - unable to select a "poster frame" for DVD Menu - Scene Selection
I've tried a number of different DVD menu themes and the problem is the same for all. The Scene Selections don't seem to provide any way to include a graphic for the poster frame. Have been able to provide a menu background with no problem. Interestingly, the poster frame section of the menu edit fields appears to be somewhat truncated (the spot where you would expect the "drag media here" shows only the bottom portion of a box with no wording and the input is truncated at 00;00;0 with the fifth zero partially cut off.
Any one else seen this? I know I've provided graphics for the scene buttons in the past but cannot seem to get past this situation this time.
ThanksIn Adobe Encore (the authoring program, included with PrPro), one can set the Poster Frame for non-Motion Thumbnails.
For showing a different Clip, in Motion Thumbnails, one must create Menus, that have a Video background, that just looks like it has Motion Thumbnails - they are actually PiP in the Video background.
I do not know about the often touted Sony DVD Architect, regarding setting Poster Frames.
PrE's authoring control is a bit limited, and is designed to get the "average" Project authored, with few navigational bells and whistles.
Good luck,

DVD Menu play all & chapter selections
I have a client requesting something that he has done with Adobe's DVD authoring system that I don't believe Studio Pro can do, but thought I would put it out there and maybe someone else has figured it out:
He wants 2 menus (MAIN & SUB MENU) - Main would contain +play all+ or +chapter selection+ buttons. +Play all+ button would start from the beginning and play all the way to the end without stopping. +Chapter Selections+ would take you to a SUB MENU where you could select only certain sections...and here is where it's challenging... _but after that specific selection (or chapter) is finished, that it return to the Sub Menu, rather than continuing on playing the rest of the movie._
I have done such projects successfully; running time was short enough that it would allow me to make 2 Tracks. one with no chapter markers that would play all the way to the end, and the other with chapter markers indicating to jump back to a sub menu. Obviously this doubles the amount of data and it is not an option for this 95 minute program.
Am I missing something fundamental? I hope so. Any insight as always is appreciated and I hope that made sense! Thanks again.Hi Brittney
I just saw this post and wanted to ask you a question about stories before I set up my project.
I'm a little nervous as my project is 95 mins, has 5 Chapters, and three of these Chapters have Sub Chapters and Sub, Sub Chapters (if that makes sense?). Because the project is so long I need to set up up properly.
I need to be able to either Play All (from start to finish) or go to each Chapter/sub chapter/sub-sub Chapter and come back to the relevant chapter menu each time.
Is stories the way to go with this? I haven't done such a complex project and have always been able to use 2 tracks (a play all and then chapters) .
How do I set this up properly? If I put in all the chapter markers in the FCP timeline and export them out into Compressor and then into DVD SP, is this the best way to go?
How do I then link all my sub chapters, using Story, to come back to the relevant menu, like an end jump?
I hope this makes sense? Cheers and thanks,
Margie

DVD menu button rollovers not working on PS3
I am totally new to Adobe Encore, and I tried to make my first DVD project yesterday. I used the default "Party" menu which I then edited in Photoshop to include my own graphic assets and text. The project is just two videos of a play that I recorded for a friend - one video is the Friday night performance and the other is the Sunday night performance. So there's only two buttons on the menu.
The DVD works fine on my Mac. The buttons do their rollover thing when I mouse over the two menu options. But on my PS3, the rollovers just don't appear. If I hit the X button when the menu appears, it plays the first video. If I hit the Down button first, and then the X buttons, it plays the second video, so obviously the function of the menu is working correctly, but the rollovers are not appearing.
Does anyone have any insight into what I might have done wrong?Welcome to the forum.
Not sure exactly how the PS3 handles Sub-picture Highlights (what appears in the Over/Selection state), as I have never used one.
To see the layout of the Menu better, can you post a screen-cap from Photoshop, with the Layers Palette open, and the Button Layer Set of one of those Buttons twirled open, and with the Visibility of the Sub-picture Highlight turned ON? That will give us the opportunity to see if something is wrong with the naming conventions of the Button Layer Set, and also see what the Highlight should look like in its rollover state.
If necessary, this ARTICLE will give you some tips on the screen-cap.
Good luck, and maybe a user, who knows the PS3 will drop by with a quick and easy "fix."

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?
If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes. -
iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Have 6 Buttons and would like to use a red tomato with a green stem to indicate that button is being rolled over and selected?
Short answer - No. Two long answers - yes and yes.
Highlights can be only single color (two bit indexed color) and your image is not.
However, you can have up to 3 highlights using different colors for each one. So edit your image so you overlay 3 different colors (in photoshop layers, =1, =2, and =3). I would probably try the bottom layer as the red ball; then the white reflection, and then the green on top. When the highlight is active, all 3 colors show.
The other method is to use autoactivate (on a button) to go to a different menu that changes the image in the background for that button. You create multiple menus, with an ordinary state for all buttons in all menus, except for the "highlight" different for the "selected" button. Mouseover won't autoactivate, so this doesn't work on a computer the way you'd like. -
Create a DVD menu to play only selected scenes?
Hi,
I'm using Premiere Elements 11. Is it possible to create a DVD menu for automatic play of selected scenes? As an example, my movie may have 12 scenes. However, I would like to give the user the capability to play scenes 2, 4, 6, & 12, without interruption (or the need to go back to the menu).
Thanks,
DeanATR,
I also think that your workaround can work for this instance, unless I mis-read the requirements.
As for Encore, as of EncoreDVD 2.0 (CS 2 Production Studio in my case), Encore CS 5, CS 5.5 and CS 6 (the end of the line for Encore), it can do that easily.
Now, I am only guessing with Sony's DVD Architect, but would hope that it can do the same. Maybe Steve Grisetti can comment, since he "wrote the book" on that program.
As we all know, PrE has many authoring limitations. First, they are semi-automatic, and very linear. That said, for most users, it works just fine. However, there are many, fairly common navigation schemes, that just do not directly figure into what it can do.
The downside to a full-featured authoring program, is that that "semi-automatic" work will not be done - one must do things by hand, but with that extra work, comes vast power. To me, that is a small trade-off. I will go for "power" any day. Of course, as I normally use Encore, I am used to doing much by hand, so it's just part of my authoring scheme.
I wish that I knew Sony's DVD Architect better, but I have used Encore for so long, that I have never found a need to even look at it. All that I know has come from here, or Muvipix, where it always gets great recs. Since Encore is no longer part of Adobe, I have the choice to either stick with my versions, or look to another authoring program. Over the years, I have used Encore, Sonic Scenarist (never owned it myself, but authored on other's systems, since it cost about US $50K), and DVD Studio (good, but with a clunky interface). Encore was my go-to app., but then, it will be no more.

DVD menu without a scene selection option?
Hi all,
I'm new to Premiere Elements 12, and I just finished a video. I want to add a menu with my own photograph that has an option to play movie, but no option for scene selection. When I use Premiere's templates, I can't get rid of scene selection (it's not necessary for this video because it's so short). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!emmaarmer
Do not use scene markers on the Timeline content and you should not get any Scene Selection button on the main menu and you should not have any scene selection pages.
You will just end up with a main menu page with a Play button.
If you situation is different for some reason, please give more details including the specific Premiere Elements 12 Movie Menu that you are selecting.
Thanks.

How do i unfreeze my ipod when ive already tried the menu and select button and that didnt help?
how do i unfreeze my ipod when ive already tried the menu and select button and that didnt help?
How long did you press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together? Have you tried doing this procedure more than once? Is the hold switch in the Off position?
If nothing else, let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up again.
