Creating links between movies

Hi everyone,
I'm an iDVD noob, so my apologies if these questions were already asked (though I did do a search).
I have iDVD 7.1.2 on my Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8)
My first question is- can I create a custom theme from scratch in iDVD (can be a still), or do I have to use the stock themes? If it is possible, what is the best format? Can I do the same with a looped piece of video? I'm not crazy about the ones that are available.
My second question relates to a multi movie (episodes) dvd. Is it possible to link each movie/episode so that it doesn't automatically go back to the menu at the end, but starts playing the very next movie/episode? (and also has a "next" button to navigate to the next movie)?
I dragged the video files onto the main menu (though I also tried by importing the videos). Each time, it goes back to the main menu after the video is done.
My third question is- can I use video stills (or a few seconds of video) as navigation points for each individual movie/episode, so that when they're clicked, it begins playing the episode? Can I do that and still have a title below each still?
My last question is- can I have a two part main menu? I have 13 episodes/navigation points. Placing each one on the one main menu is a bit crowded (especially if I can also place a still for each episode). Is it possible to put 7 episodes on one menu and six on a continuation?
Thank you in advance for any information!

Hi
My first question is- can I create a custom theme from scratch in iDVD (can be a still), or do I have to use the stock themes?
You must start from one of the made themes - But You can modify this so that it will be very close to what You want. But there are NO Blanc theme to start from.
My second question relates to a multi movie (episodes) dvd. Is it possible to link each movie/episode so that it doesn't automatically go back to the menu at the end, but starts playing the very next movie/episode? (and also has a "next" button to navigate to the next movie)?
No - There is no "Play All" button - But there are way around's.
Play all resp one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in height. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Cons: BUT - When tested with music videos - the same video on main Menu played nicely with OK Audio. The Play All version in SlideShow had a significant Distortion - as on telephone or worse.

You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
Summary
a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go
My third question is- can I use video stills (or a few seconds of video) as navigation points for each individual movie/episode, so that when they're clicked, it begins playing the episode? Can I do that and still have a title below each still?
This one I do not understand properly - I use Chapters in My movies and then in iDVD I get Sub-menus with each one as a starting point into the movie and a picture above it - the text can be altered and set to anything - BUT THERE ARE THREE POINTS HERE
• In Movie Editor iMovie or FinalCut - only use A to Z and 0 to 9 in titling the Chapters here
• Picture ontop of this tecxir when in iDVD can be changed - but there is a problem with this - it goes back to the first minutes of the movie - Do not alter this - just let it be.
• THE iDVD BUG - When started the iDVD project - DO NOT GO BACK TO VIDEO-Editor to make any change at all ! iDVD will notice and as You to Up-Date resulting in that all Chapters will start as Chapter one. I do start a Brand new iDVD Project if I'm in this situation.
My last question is- can I have a two part main menu? I have 13 episodes/navigation points. Placing each one on the one main menu is a bit crowded (especially if I can also place a still for each episode). Is it possible to put 7 episodes on one menu and six on a continuation?
I think this can be problematic - I would see trough the themes and try to find one that accepts more than 6 chapters per page and start from this. BUT I'm not at al sure about this one. Think I made one with 9 chapters on one page a long time ago but can be miss-remembering it.

How to create links between SO and PO's

Basicly the subject tells the question, how can you create links between Sales orders and Purchase orders? Sounds simple but how to do it?

Hi,
You can may be do the easy way out then,
1) Open the Sales Order for which you have created the Procurement Document.
2) Go to the 'Form Settings' of the Sales Order and 'Table Format'.
3) In the list, select the Procurement Doc field and make it visible.
You will be able to see the Procurement Document for the Sales Order raised without using the query.
Check if this is what you are looking for and the same helps.

Is there any link between movement types and documents

hi
is there any link between sales doc and movement types ?
is it the only source dependig on schedule line movement type will determined?
if with out order we are doing delivery how system will determine movement type
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Deliveries that are created without reference to order , contained movement type because to process a delivery you need to have some of the control criteria that are copied from sales document header to delivery document header, as system processes delivery in that way ,that is why you will find default order type is assigned to the delivery document type ie DL. .which helps the delivery document to process without reference to sales document.
In Addition to above information,
In VOV4,
DL+ NORM + + -DLN
In VOV5,
For Itemcatagory DLN+ --CN
From this schedule line category CN,movement type 601 is taken during without reference to order delivery creation.

Creating Links between Tables.

I have tables
Client
Order FK to Client
Product
OrderDetail FK to Order and to Product
Tables were successfully created in Pointbase with Primary and Foreign keys displayed at the final SQL editor and were successfully populated and recognized as datasource by Creator. Now, trying to follow the same steps as per the Accessing Databases tutorial, when I add OrderDetail to the Design view (page 7 PDF Tutorial), the link between Order and OrderDetail tables does not show. It seems I will have to add it manually, but I cannot find in docs how to do that.
Thanks,
Luis.

Problem In creating link between info source to DSO(Urgent)

Dear Experts,
I am facing an problem in creating an link between info source and DSO.My problem is: I am actually loading data from R/3 into two data sources 2lis_01_s951 and 2lis_01_s952 there is a need for me to calcualte revenue % i.e diving revenue by qty from different data sources so i created one Info Source for 2 data sources,So i am facing a problem in creating an link from Info Source to DSO.Is there any other way to solve this problem.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
Shivu.

Shivu,
Im suggesting either of the following 2 solutions. Both of them require some abap programming.
A. Permanently store calculation result in DSO :
A1) Youll need to decide which of the 2 DSOs you want to store the result of the % calculation, then add a new infoobject for that purpose;
A2) Load ALL the data into the DSO that will NOT store the result of the % calculation; lets call this DSO DSO1. The data records in this DSO will be retrieved later on when loading the other DSO;
A3) For the DSO that will store the result of the % calculation (lets call this DSO DSO2), create a transformation rule (i.e. update rule) that will SELECT the related data record from DSO1 and carry out the calculation before storing the data record in DSO2 ( this can also be done in the Start Routine to loop through all the data records of a packet.)
B. Carry out the calculation at query time :
B1) Create a multiprovider (i.e. multicube or infoset) to combine your infocubes or DSOs together. Keep in mind that a multicube works as a union of the infoproviders, while an Infoset works as a join of the infoproviders.
B2) Create a formula in your query to calculate the %.
Hope this helps.

Create Link between database schema

Hi,
I have created database link between two database schema (From DBSchema2 i have created database link for DBSchema1). From DBSchema2, i have quried one table (This table is present in DBSchema1). But it throws an error says that Table or View does not exist. Anyone pls tell the detailed way to create database link between schema??
Thanks,

Yes iam trying to Archive
I said achieve not archive. Anyways so you are trying to archive the data. Can you just detail your requirement ? What exactly do you want ?
Only few tables will be moved to Archive Schema and other foriegn key tables will have a reference to the Live Schema. So how i can create the link between the Archive Schme to Live schema?
There is no question of creating database links between 2 schems. It is pure stupidity. If you want to access any object from another schema grant proper privileges and create a synonym for the object. Database links are not meant for this purpose.

Creating links between 3D model parts and Excel BOM

I have quickly looked at Acrobat3D, but don't know much about Adobe products.
Unfortunately we are using Solidworks 2006 files, which 3D doesn't seem to support. Let alone when 2007 comes out.
Anyway, I was hoping to make a "Parts Book" for our machinery,
where I could somehow 'LINK' individual items from the 3D model - directly to Part Numbers from an Excel Bill of Materials.
I.e. clicking on the model item would highlight the Part number, and vice versa.
Any ideas if this is possible? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the reponse.
I've only used the Tryout version (7.0.7) as the company I work for won't purchase Acrobat 3D - unless I can prove it will save time.
Unfortunately, from what i've tried, the Model Tree is such that the Model only shows the part Description.
From a 'Spare Parts' sales point of view - I need to link the model part to a separate Table that shows 'much more information'.
I.e. Part Number, Description, Quantity, Version, etc.
Hence, the need to link between parts within the 3D model & a separate Bill of Materials from Excel.

How do I create links between two pdfs using FrameMaker 9, while both files remain open?

In FrameMaker 9 is there a way to create cross reference to a particular page on another doc (without closing the current/source doc)?
I tried using "openpage filename:pagenumber" option, the link takes me to page 1 of the referenced doc not to the specified page, and as it is a hyper link when page 1 of the referenced doc gets displayed the souce doc closes.
When a link is clicked in the source doc, it is required that the source doc remians open.
This is an urgent requirement, can anyone please reply soon?

I think you've already asked this in this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5613200#5613200 - and it's been answered there.

Linking between movement type 101 & 321

Hi All,
We prepare the GRN against the Purchase order vide movement type 101, this material is lying for Quality inspection in same plant and storage location
After Quality Inspection we are transferring this material from Quality Inspection to unrestricted stock in same plant and storage location with movement type 321
Now we want to link Purchase Order with 101 (which are there) and also with movement type 321 can any body tell us how to go for this. Here we are interesting in linking Purchase Order GRN (101) Goods Transfer (321).
Thanks
Vinayak Deosthali.

Hello Vinayak,
As I understand when u do the receipt against PO using 101 mvt, it will ask for a batch number and will receive the goods in quality inspection. After u use 321 to move the godds from QI to unrestricted u would give the batch number again so ineffect for linking PO->101->321 u need to use batch number to link. Get the PO numbers from EKBE table and get related 101 from the same. use MSEG table to connect using PO material and batch number.

Error to create link between form and calendar

Powershell to create link between Access database and an ODBC Pervasive database

So, I have the following script (thanks to JRV!):
function Link-ExternalODBCTable{
      Param(
         $accessFile,
         $tableName,
         $tableName2
     if(-not $tableName2){$tableName2=$tableName1}
     $access.DoCmd.TransferDatabase(
             [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcDataTransferType]::acLink,
            'ODBC Database',
            $accessFile,
            [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcObjectType]::acTable,
             $tableName,
             $tableName2
$testODBC='ODBC;DSN=A1013v2012'
Add-Type -Assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access
$access = New-Object -ComObject Access.Application
$Access.OpenCurrentDataBase("E:\MyDir\TagLink.mdb")
Link-ExternalODBCTable $testODBC all_per
$access.CloseCurrentDataBase()
What I get is:
Exception calling "TransferDatabase" with "6" argument(s): "ODBC--connection to 'A1013v2012' failed."
When I try from the ODBC Administrator, it tests fine (Connection Successful!). This is a 32-bit ODBC connection, using the Pervasive ODBC Engine Interface. Same as we use for other ODBC connections to this database. It is a System DSN, as opposed to User
or File.
I tried to skinny this down to:
Add-Type -Assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access
$Access = New-Object -ComObject Access.Application
$Connected = $Access.OpenCurrentDataBase("E:\MyDir\TagLink.mdb")
$access.DoCmd.TransferDatabase(
             [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcDataTransferType]::acLink,
            'ODBC Database',
            'ODBC;DSN=A1013v2012',
            [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcObjectType]::acTable,
             'all_per',
             'all_per'
$Disconnected = $Access.CloseCurrentDataBase()
...which yields the same error.
Where am I going wrong here?
mpleaf

If I try that, I get a new message:
Exception calling "TransferDatabase" with "6" argument(s): "Could not find installable ISAM."
The article you reference, I believe, is for SQL connection, not Pervasive SQL. I know the DSN works fine. We use it for other things a LOT.
I'm at a loss...and I can't seem to find the right combination...
mpleaf
The point is that newer Access does not appear to support DSNs on ODBC without an full ODBC driver. If you go DSN-less you will include the provider.
Pervasive has always been a pain. They break all rules and always have. If this is Intuit Pervasive then it is even worse.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How can I keep the links between pages in a PDF file after the file has been saved?

My accounting department has just starting using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to make our account reconciliations. I like that we can create links between one page and the next, so that we can show our supervisor where the account balances tie to the supporting documentation. But I have noticed the links disappear after my supervisor reviews and signs the PDF file. Is there a way we can keep the links after it is signed? Please note that we are not using EchoSign, just the “place signature” function in Acrobat.

When a document is signed, the signer has the option of locking the document. The links won't be active if the document is locked, so to avoid this, instruct the signer not to lock when signing.

Linking between jar files

I'm trying to create links between topics of different jar files but cannot get it to work.
have tried a few different ways to do this:
<a href="jar:file://../jarfilenam.jar!/htmlfilename.htm">
<a href= "../jarfilename.jar!/htmfilename.htm">
<a href="/jarfilename/htmfilename.htm"> none work. Any insights?
thanks
Margaret

Hey Margaret,
we have the same problems. Did you found a solution?
The funny thing is: sometimes a reference in the style
works - but not constantly! We had three references in this style in one html-page and the first one of them works in our development environment. In the productive environment (with WebStart-technology) no link works. It's also not clear, to witch object the path should be relativ: from the folder, the HTML-page resides? Do you need one more "../" to step outside the jar?
By the way: does anyone knows, how JavaHelp finds it resources like GIF's, wich are referenced from HTML-pages? If I have the same filename in more than one JAR, it's normaly not defined, which one is loaded with the getResource-method of the class loader, or am I wrong?
We have different JAR-files with same resources, for example "hallo.gif". In each JAR-file is a HTML-page, wich loades this GIF. If I delete the GIF in one of the JARs, the HTML-page in this JAR doesn't display the GIF. The other HTML-page works still fine. It looks like the resources are only searched in the same JAR. Am I right??
thanks
Olaf

Having trouble when creating links

Good afternoon,
I use RoboHelp6 HTML, and i'm using the FlashHelp as the
output layout.
When I work on a topic in the WYSIWYG Editor, I try to create
links between a Word document or even a webpage that I have created
from the Word document.
When I go to click on the link that I have created in the
topic it shows that I have created a link but I can't actually
visualize the link.
When I go to generate the project, and see if the link works
from there. It doesn't even show the letter in blue or something to
show that there is a link attached.
Can somebody please tell me how to create links step by step?
Thanks,

Hi there
Woooowwww, that's some long path! Do you really have that
many folder levels? ../ is shorthand that says Up One Folder. So in
this case, you have a page attempting to link seven folder levels
above where it lives. I don't suppose there is any way to screen
capture your folder structure for this project and post to an image
sharing site. Here is one:
