Creating Navigation for iDVD

I have 7 individual movies I have imported into iDVD and want to select the first one and play to the end.  How can I have iDVD to go from the first to the second and all the way through?   I also want a menu that is Scene Selection as a sub menu to allow you to select say like movie number 3 and play just that movie and when done goes back to the Main Menu.

You can't with iDVD.  However you can put all of the videos in a iDVD slideshow and it will play one after the other without returning the to menu.  Just select time for each slide to anything except manual and don't add any transitions. This slideshow would be on the first page.
Add a sub menu to the first menu and add each of the 7 individual movies to that page.  It will be your "scene selection" menu.
NOTE:  this is possible if the sum playing time of all 7 movies is less than 60 minutes because  using the slideshow method will double the playing time of your media.
If you have iMovie 6 you can put the 7 movies in it, add a transition at each movie beginning (but not within 3 seconds of any added transition) and add that to iDVD.  That will automatically create a "play all" menu and a separate scene selection menu.

  • Creating themes for idvd 6

    Can some tell me how to create a custom theme for idvd. what I mean is, I want to create my own Menu screen without the use of the themes that are provided, kind of make my own. does anyone know if its possible and how you can do it? I have found themes you can buy on line so I know there has to be away to do it. Thanks in advance.

    so is there any other programs out there that does the same thing as idvd but on a more advance level?
    Yes. It's called Apple's Final Cut Sudio 2 / DVDSP .... might be easier to make your own custom themes within DVDSP, although there is a larger learning curve involved with this particular app (it also helps to have a working knowledge of Motion(included in Final Cut Studio 2) for creating motion graphics menus as well as Adobe PS). Or you can simply select from the many themes templates provided as a starting point w/in DVDSP.
    You can do many of the same things within iDVD (to some extent) however button and text objects (and their associated links) are not as stable nor predictable as they are in apple's pro apps / DVDSP.... which IMO is one of the main reasons for having a DVD entry menu/s in the first place.

  • HDV captured create movie for iDVD, lot of jitter and jagged interlace play

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I wanted to downconvert from HDV capture / edit, and then just create a standard video dvd for normal tv playback. Picture looks like it will be outstanding, but any movement results in horrible jitter and jagged edges. What am I doing wrong?

    Wow thanks for quick reply. Apologies I didn't give full info.
    I am viewing DVD on TV - well a plasma being played via DVD on PS3.
    BUT, DVPRO50 is the only output that shows a "smooth" movie, if I playback on the canvas at 50% the interlace line are gone due to the scaling BUT the movie plays jumpy, so the DVPRo50 method is the only way I can get a smooth pan for example, every other method just gives a jumpy playback on DVD.
    iDVD is set to Production quality, when I do a QT movie direct to iDVD without the DVPRO50, the quality is better but the movie is jumpy.
    The movie is also 47 minutes long - it's quite big, file produced is about 19GB.
    Also I understand about getting HD quality and BlueRay disk etc, but I would expect to get DVD quality from iDVD, doing the DVPRO50 conversion makes it pretty bad. but smooth!
    As I said the anooying things is when I exported to MP4 on quicktime at 1080 HD and 18000kbps and 29.97 it also plays smooth for a short bursts of a few seconds (albeit jumping every second to 25 -> 29.97 issues), in 25 fps it's just blurry and jumpy. (playback on PS3)
    Thanks

  • Best way to create chapters for IDVD

    Ok, so I got ILife '08 and downloaded this for free so I could make chapters. Let's say I take a whole feed from my VCR to my computer using the Elgato Hybrid. What is the easiest way to make clips using iMovie? Should I split the clips into smaller clips, or use the part about chapters?

    I use iDVD because it is easy to use.
    My head is already crammed with HD, Avid, FCP, After Effects Photoshop, Pro Tools and Grass Valley information...not to mention all the knowledge on the art of the edit...so that I don't have much room left for DVDsp.

  • What is the Behavior.Navigation URL for creating navigation bar links for search scopes for security group and distribution groups?

    ...the search scope is used to subset the SGs and DGs. The search scope itself shows expected results. The search scope filter used is: /Group[Type='Security' or Type='MailEnabledSecurity'][(Domain = 'DomainX') or (Domain = 'DomainY')]
    Tried the following, with the GUID being the resource ID from the search scope for security groups:
    ~/identitymanagement/aspx/customized/CustomizedObjects.aspx?type=Group&searchtype=e8ed98b6-e299-4b8d-bfe5-e4b2adf1cd60
    ~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/Groups.aspx?type=Group&searchtype=e8ed98b6-e299-4b8d-bfe5-e4b2adf1cd60
    Thanks

    are you talking about redirect URL in search scope ? FIM will automatically add the searchtype querystring
    for custom groups search scope you can use :
    ~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/AllGroups.aspx
    and configure you search scope to use the same UsageKeywords as for the security groups
    and restart your IIS server using the command "IISRESET"
    in your case if you want to create navigation bar link to your group-type search scope use may use this format:
    http://{your fim server}/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/AllGroups.aspx?searchtype={your searchscope guid}&content=%2a
    ex : http://fimserver/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/AllGroups.aspx?searchtype=47e0a973-0ab4-46f5-815f-f5028c1af58e&content=%2a

    We are trying to add documents to Contacts in Oracle HRMS. (11.5.10.2)
    Navigation: Oracle HR Super User -> Fastpath -> Documents of Record
    Search for a Contact -> Manage Documents of Record -> Create Document of Record.
    In Document Information -> Type is mandatory field but the LOV is not returning any values.
    The LOV works fine for both system defined and custom document types when trying to create documents for Employees or External Contractors.
    But we would need to be able to add documents for Contacts also.
    Please let us know if this expected functionality or if there is any setup that is needed.

  • Best settings to use when preparing HD source material for iDVD?

    I realize iDVD is effectively abandonware, and that it was never really designed either to run on Lion nor to import high definition content...but nevertheless here I am (somewhat unavoidably) trying to do both and constantly getting the dreaded and mysterious "an error occured during movie encoding" result when I try to burn or export my project to a disc image.
    If it matters, I am using a Mac Pro (1,1) with a 5770, running 10.7.5 with 8GB of RAM and oodles of free diskspace. All of my software is fully up to date, including iDVD 7.1.2 build 1158. Several utilities report nothing erroneous with my drives or their filesystems. I have made sure Perian is not installed. I have tried to create and export this DVD using both my primary user account and a clean dummy one I made for testing purposes.
    After considerable trial and error experiments, each taking several hours to attempt, I've decided that I'm never going to easily figure out exacty which of my many various source files for this project (holiday videos for family) may be giving iDVD hiccups. Instead, I've decided to take another approach, making all of my content as easy to "spoon feed" to iDVD as possible. Hopefully then I can get this project done.
    My question is what, ideally, does iDVD like to be fed?
    For starters, I am in the process of transcoding and repackaging all of my content through MPEG Streamclip to be AIC video and uncompressed audio inside MOV containers. In each case I am scaling the video down to be 480 lines tall. Just guessing, but that seems like it would give iDVD the least possible work to "think" about and get confused. Does that sound about right to folks?
    Should I be doing something drastic and old school like trying to create DV files? My content is all wide aspect, intended for a 16:9 iDVD project and that seems like it would get tricky (also, this would involve more quality loss than using AIC files).
    I am totally open to suggestions here. Just please don't say "dude, use Toast" or something because while I have plenty of other tools that I know would work more easily and reliably, I really want to mimic the holiday discs from previous years that I've created using the same iDVD theme.

    I haven't had to wrestle with this problem, but I've followed some of the discussions and here are several ideas and resources which seem reasonable.  As background, have you read about better results from using iMovie6?  Also, as you imply, DV Stream (.dv) was the native format for iDVD.

  • Create Navigation path in IDT4.0 and how to use these navigation paths in Webi report

    Hi All, I want to know how to create navigation path in universe? I am using IDT BO4.0 SP4 and relational connection and want to create navigation path. I would like to know how to use this navigation path in Webi report? If I create a webi report where can I see my navigation paths and how to use it. If you can give any document or link which expalins this whole process, that would be great. Thanks,

    HI REMI ,
    1. ANSWER TO YOUR 1st QUESTION i.e. HOW TO CREATE A NAVIGATIONAL PATH :
        IN IDT 4.0  , YOU WILL FIND A NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN BOTTOM WHEN YOU WILL OPEN YOUR      BUSINESS LAYER , THERE YOU CAN CLICK CUSTOM NAVIGATION PATH -> THEN CLICK AT      ADD A NAVIGATIOAL PATH BUTTON->THEN GIVE NAME NAVIGATIONAL PATH NAME->THEN ADD THE OBJECTS UNDER YOUR NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN A HIERARCHICAL SEQUENCE .     FOR EX :     COUNTRY->STATE->CITY . AND YOUR CUSTOM NAVIGATIONAL PATH IS     CREATED.
    2. ANSWER TO YOUR SECOND QUESTION WHAT IS THE USE OF NAVIGATIONAL PATH IN WEBI REPORT :
    NAVIGATIONAL PATH HELPS YOU TO PERFORM DRILL DOWN ON YOUR DIMENSION OBJECTS , FOR EX : LET 'S SAY YOU CREATED A NAVIGATIONAL PATH- REGION SALES  : Containing COUNTRY->STATE->SALES. THIS WILL HELP YOU TO DRILL DOWN IN YOUR WEBI REPORT AS SHOWN BELOW :
    COUNTRY                      SALES

  • Anyone get a huge "Problem Report for iDVD" with hundreds of lines of information?

    Anyone get a huge "Problem Report for iDVD" with hundreds of lines of information? This happens right before the DVD would be finished burning but instead crashes and leaves the long report your have to scroll down several times to read. I had to take several screen captures of the screen to get the WHOLE report. Here is two:
    (If there is another thread on this - just answer the question or refer me to it. I'm past due on a big project. Don't have time to read all 21,000 discussions in the iDVD thread. Be kind. Thanks )

    Some things to try first:
    1. Disconnect any and all 3rd party devices that didn't ship with your mac directly from apple (both FW and USB included). 
    2. Restart your mac without any 3rd party devices attached whatsoever. That includes ext. hard drives, blue tooth devices, and any third party memory product/s. Basically, anything that doesn't come directly from apple has to go (at least while troubleshooting).
    3. Need you to dispose of the plist for iDvd also. Go to you Home folder, the one that looks like a house > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDvd.plist and drag and drop this file/s to the trash. Make sure to first quit iDvd prior to disposing of this pref. file/s.
    4. Run apple's disc utility and repair permissions. Applicantions > Utilities > Disc Utility > Repair Permissions.
    5. Restart your mac yet again, and try iDvd one more time.
    6. If it's still at issue then please open iDvd from a separate user account and try your project one more time. If you don't know how to create a separate user account then just come on back and one of will show you how.
    Good luck.

  • Which compression is the best for iDVD?

    I have about 9 footages ready to export to quicktime format
    in order to create an iDVD, however, I need to know which compression method produces the best quality of video for iDVD?
    I've been using MEPG4 so far but I have no idea if there's anything better than MPEG4 for DVD creation.
    THanks in advance folks!

    Export as a QUICKTIME MOVIE>Self Contained>Using Sequence Settings. Then import into iDVD and let it compress it to MPEG-2. That really is the way to go about it with iDVD.
    DVDs are all MPEG 2, not 4

  • Could Not Create Navigator class

    Hello,
    I hava a bean on an oracle form to invoke the Oracle Help for Java.
    I placed the jar files(help4.jar,oracle_ice5.jar,ohj-jewt.jar) in <oracle_home>forms90/java and my forsweb.cfg has an entry to load these jar files.
    when I open the form I am getting the following error messages in the java console
    Could Not Create Navigator class "oracle.bali.share.collection.SingleItemEnumeration"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
    Could Not Create Navigator class "oracle.bali.share.sort.StringComparator"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
    Could Not Create Navigator class "oracle.bali.share.sort.StringComparator"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
    Can any one please help me to rectify this.
    Thanks,
    Lavanya.

    I believe that the problem is that the forms jar file contains a subset of the classes in the oracle.bali.share package.
    The full set of oracle.bali.share classes is also shipped with Oracle Help for Java (in ohj-jewt.jar).
    The ohj-jewt.jar file is not signed, but the forms jar file is signed. Thus, the error. In order to resolve the problem, you will need to have all of the classes in the oracle.bali.share package added to the signed forms jar (and then you can remove those classes from ohj-jewt.jar). You could either file an Oracle Support request, or bring this issue up on the Forms forum.

  • Creating variable for attribute

    Hi guys,
    Is it possible to create variable for an attribute. My requirement is that the user wants Serial # as one of the user selection criteria which is an attribute of system code equipment in Dimension material. If not, is there any other possible way to get it in user selection criteria when the report is run.
    Thanks in advance.

    you cant create a variable on attribute of a char.
    other work around is to make Serial # a navigational attribute both in the IO (system code equipment) and in the cube maintenance too. That way in the report the attribute will be available as any other char in the cube.
