Chapter playlist end action not working right

Using Encore CS4 I have created nine sub-menus and each one contains a Chapter Playlist assigned to a button. The submenu's are titled by year starting with 2002. The problem I am having is that no matter what I set the end action or override to all the sub-menus return to the 2002 sub-menu. I have tried all the options for end action and override: return here, stop, link back to that same years sub-menu, stop, return to last menu and they all return me to the 2002 sub-menu.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Please outline how you want the finished DVD to behave.  You'll help yourself out *a lot* if you hand-draw (with pencil and paper) a flowchart that shows how you want the audience to get from here to there and back again.
Until you do that, you will struggle with your disc's navigation.
That said, there are always several ways to achieve your navigation goals.  Your existing design may work once all of the overrides are removed.  You still haven't described what happens when you change all of the overrides in the project to Not Set.

  • Chapter point End Action not working

    I'm creating a a training DVD in which one timeline has several spots where the DVD should pause while the class discusses the scene that has just played. I've added 5 seconds of black to mark those spots, and at the beginning of the black I have a chapter point that has an End Action to go to a menu with a "Continue" button. At the end of the black I have another chapter point that the "Continue" button links to. On one of the point that route to the "Continue" menu, it doesn't route to the menu, but just jumps back to the last chapter point...essentially looping that section. It doesn't do this when I "Preview" from the main menu...all works correctly there, but when I Build the project to DVD Folders and play on my PC, that's when it happens.

    Nope...no overrides are set. I have several other chapter points on the timeline that are set up identical to this one, and they link correctly to their respective menus...only this one didn't. I deleted the point and recreated it and now it works. I'd noticed several other Chapter Point issues here that were solved by this action.
    Thanks!

  • Previewing Chapter Playlist End Actions

    I'm finding that chapter playlist end actions to return to a menu don't work the same if the end action is triggered from the 'end action' button rather than playing right through to the end point.
    The end actions return OK to the menu, but the active menu item is mostly not correct if the return is triggered by the 'end action' button when previewing.
    All works as expected if the preview is allowed to play through to the end.
    Is this finger trouble, a glitch here, or a general issue?

    Hello,
    Everything is working.  I switched to another menu and everything works in preview and DVD.  I must have been missing something that I couldn't see because I am pretty sure it wouldn't be the menu's vault
    I have another question if you don't mind.  Poster Frame for a video preview on button.  I will try to make clear:
    I have play.all list.  First timeline in list is say team.photos.  I set the poster frame for that.
    On the same menu screen I have a button just for team.photos as well.  the poster frame is the same as the one for the play all button.
    Can encore have two distinct poster frames for the same timeline reference?
    One work around is to import the same timeline and it will be team.photos 2.  You can then set the poster frame differently.  Is that the best way?
    Also, since I am writing.  What is the easy fix when you have two columns of buttons ie
    button 1       button 3
    button 2       button 4
    When I click down on my remote to go from button 2 to button 3; can't seem to figure that one out.  Sort of just getting into all the features.  Is that in the type: normal/next/ect.  area.  Currently my menu down button goes from button 1 to button 2 and stays in the same column.  I want to jump to column 2 by pressing the down button on the remote
    Any thougths would be great.

  • 'End Action' not working in Hardware player when chapter skipping. Suggestions?

    Hey all. I am building a 2 disc BD set of my old band and have everything built using Encore CS5. The majority of functionality is working correctly however, I have a couple nagging issues that I can't seem to figure out. I am getting different results when simulating in Encore and testing on a hardware player (Panasonic BDT210, and PS3).
    - The first disc has 10 buttons on a single menu page. The second disc has 1 menu page with 3 sub pages (4 total). Each button plays a different clip. At the end of media (End Action), it is supposed to return to the main menu with the button highlighted. Here's the kicker: When simulating in Encore, each clip plays through and returns to the main menu correctly, whether playing through, or chapter skipping through to the end. However, when playing back on a hardware player, all clips return correctly when playing through. But 3 out of the 10 clips on disc 1, and 2 out of the 7 clips on disc 2 will NOT return when trying to chapter skip out. I keep getting a player error stating "this option is not allowed" and you have to watch the remainder of the clip to the end, or Top Menu out. In each of the 5 clips, all chapters work but you can't skip out.
    It doesn't seem to be a problem with the amount of chapters because some only have one, and some have up to 8. I double checked the "End Action" settings for every clip and they are set correctly. Plus everything works in Encore but not on disc. Why is there a problem with some clips and not others? They are all encoded the same.
    Any help for this would be great. I work in the industry and it's frustrating when you can't figure out something simple like this. Thanks.

    Could you post a screen shot of the flowchart window showing all the links and navigation?

  • End Action not working

    Hi.
    Encore 4.0.1.048
    I noticed that the end action of a menu doesn't work properly. It pounts to a timeline, which never shows.
    This was tested with ...
    1. CyberLink PowerDVD 9 Ultra
    2. MediaPlayer Classic
    3. The actual DVD (DVD-9)
    The structure looks like this:
    Timeline (first play) -> general menu -> movie 1 menu -> movie timeline
    The link between "movie 1 menu" and "movie timeline" dowsn't work properly.
    1. PowerDVD revers back to "general menu"
    2. MediaPlayer goes black
    3. The actual DVD just stops playing the DCD.
    Is this a known bug?
    Thanks,

    Chapter Playlists do not work with Blu-ray disks - this is mentioned in the Release Notes for Encore CS4, so one is stuck with overrides.  Unfortunately nothing is said apart from the bald statement.  As to whether it is a feature of Blu-ray or a feature of Encore I do not know the answer.
    I have posed this question to Adobe Support, but as ever I do not have much hope of a valid answer.  I expect that I shall spend much of my time re-stating that I do know how to start my computer, open a project in Encore, etc, etc.!
    In my own case I want to do with Blu-ray what I have done many times in the past with DVD; have Play All for a single timeline on the main menu, a link to a sub menu which has buttons for each chapter.  Each chapter plays when selected, and at the end of the chapter you are returned to the sub-menu.  this works in Encore preview using overrides on the buttons, but I cannot get a disk produced from this to work in a player.

  • Menu End Action not working on Blu Ray?

    I am Blu-Ray authoring, and for some reason my animated menus simply repeat rather than automatically lead into the END ACTION timeline I have indicated.
    When I preview in Encore everything works correctly but once I burn a Blu-Ray disc the disc does not execute the desired end action?
    The Menu END ACTION works on normal DVDs.
    Please advise?
      

    Strange,
    it works on my BR.
    It doesn't seem to be a bug..............
    Have you burnt directly from Encore or built an image, then made the BR?

  • Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right. On videos or music. There is constant distortion and what sounds like interference. Any ideas?

    Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right--on videos or music. There is distortion and some kind of interference at all times. Any ideas?

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
    If "No," first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • VERY New to Encore....End Action Not Set?

    I just upgraded (today) to Premiere CS5.  I've been able to get to the point of burning my project and "Check Project" found an error.  It was "End Action not set" for my sequence.  I'm not 100% what this means (and a search turned up 370 items, leaving me overwhelmed).
    Is it asking what I want to happen after the last chapter in the sequence does (like return to the Menu default) or is it asking me what will follow after playing chapter one in my sequence?  I really doubt it is the last option but seeing as it is showing a still form a scene from chapter one I want to be sure that I link the correct thing from the get go.
    Don't bash me, I know I'm stupid!

    In the Check Project Message box, Dbl-click on that error/warning message, so that you can see exactly where it found the issue.
    In this case, there is an Asset, probably a Timeline, with no End Action set. This End Action tells the DVD player what to do next, like Return to Last Menu. Note: you can have an End Action on several different Assets, like Playlists and Chapter Playlists. Also note: if one has a Playlist with an End Action, and in that Playlist are Timelines with their own End Actions, the End Action of the Playlist takes precedence, and Check Project will issue a warning message (looks like an error message, but is just informing you of this precedence) to that effect. So long as that is what you want, just ignore that notification.
    End Actions tell the DVD player what to do next. As mentioned above, it could be to Return to Last Menu, it could be to Go to another Menu, and you can even, with Specify Link and the drop-down, tell it to go to a Menu with a particular Button highlighted. It could also be used to make a Timeline Loop, where you would set its End Action back to the beginning of that Timeline. You could also set one Timeline's End Action to go to another Timeline. Lots of possibilities.
    Remember that I told you Encore was more involved, than PrE's semi-auto authoring. Do not be overwhelmed, but just take it slowly. Soon, when you get the "lay of the land" down, you will greatly appreciate the new power and control that you have. Being overwhelmed will be replaced by great joy, and you will feel like a god.
    I would like to make one recommendation, and you WILL thank me later: Jeff Bellune wrote a great book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press, ISBN 0-240-52004-1. Do not be put off by the title and the version, EncoreDVD 2.0 (I know you have CS5). Everything in that book applies 100% to Encore CS5. Now, CS5 has added some "stuff," that will NOT be in the book, but this forum and the Help files will step you though those. Jeff's book will take you through all of the aspects of Encore and navigating the DVD-specs. He'll also teach you how to create illusions, that seem to override the DVD-specs. Of course we cannot do that, but the user will think that we have. This book will soon become your go-to for almost everything in Encore.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Remote not working right

    I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right.  Some things work fine.  Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit).  What's wrong?
    My second TV set-up is OK.
    Solved!

    Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
    If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
    You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
    Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.
    http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/tv/fios​tv/remote+controls/troubleshooting/questionsone/12​...
    Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

  • Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

    My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

    You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

  • IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

    iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • HT4623 My iPad mini is not working right ?? On some apps

    My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

    You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency.  Not sure if that makes sense.  I'm new to this....  Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow.  Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move.  I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little.  It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't.  Just frustrating.  It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop.   Thanks for your input.   I really appreciate it.
