Do I need chapters in a short (5-10 minute) movie?

Hi All,
I am getting ready to make my first "commercial" (though entirely home-made) DVD. It will contain a small selection of my abstract videos, probably 4. The videos are pretty short, the two longest ones are about 14 minutes but typically the duration is between 4 and 9 minutes.
Obviously, the DVD will have a main menu with links to each of the movies. My question is, do I need to add chapters within each movie? I don't see much use for them myself, but then I don't watch a lot of DVDs so maybe I'm missing something.
Also, if I do add chapters, should I have a "chapters" submenu? Is this something most people expect in a DVD?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Florence

Well, maybe I did ask myself that question and the answer was "I have no idea"
Anyway, I gather from the lack of reply that there is no standard or obvious answer to my question, so as you say, it's up to me. And since I am very lazy and don't really see any use to chapters, I will probably decide not to create any :-P

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater. How can I do it?

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater. How can I do it? The movies are now shared to iTunes.

Another easy way to fix this.
What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

Hi, I have an older version of imovie on my mac and I need to make a short movie right from the camera inside my mac because my flipshare camera doesn't have the correct software anymore. Do I definitely need the new version of imovie?

Hi, I have an older version of imovie and I need to record a short audition directly from my built in camera in imovie and edit it and then send it because my flipshare camera software isn't responding to mailing at all. Do I need the new imovie version download (update) available or can I simply use what is already on my computer to record edit and send?
Thanks!

Need to ommit the short form letter from the given string

HI,
     I need to ommit the Short form letter from column data.
EX :
CREATE table #testdata
(id int identity(1,1),cust_address varchar(max))
insert into #testdata (cust_address)
select 'first street 5N, North'
union
select 'second street W, west'
union
select 'roja street 5S, South'
union
select 'temple street E, East'
union
select 'first street, Northwest, NW'
union
select 'first street, Southwest, SW'
select * from #testdata
actutal out put:
id cust_address
1 first street 5N, North
2 first street, Northwest, NW
3 first street, Southwest, SW
4 roja street 5S, South
5 second street W, west
6 temple street E, East
Need to ommit the Short form letter from this output,
condition , 1) the short form letter should have space in front of the letter ex : first street (space)N, North
               so the output should be "first street, North" like that for other words like "first street, Southwest, SW" should be "first street, Southwest"
             2) the short form letter should not combine with any other letter ex : first street 5N, North
                 here we dont need to do anything.
Required Out put :
id cust_address
1 first street 5N, North
2 first street, Northwest
3 first street, Southwest
4 roja street 5S, South
5 second street, west
6 temple street, East

Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

My iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?

If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck.

HT1657 Do I need a wifi connection to watch once the movie has been downloaded

Nope.
Watch it anywhere you want no connection needed.

HT204370 Do i need internet connection once I have downloaded any movies or videos in my iPad ??

As long as they have been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch them in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online.

Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
MOV file is as follows:
4.08GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Duration: 12:33
Audio Channels: 2
MP4 File is as follows:
3.02GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1280 x 720
Duration: 12:33
Audio Channels: 6
I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Version 10.10. 2

First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,
Doug

I need to link to a screen within a movie from outside the movie

Hi,
That last question was answered so quickly, I'll ask this
next one right away:
I need to link to a screen within a movie from outside the
movie (so for example, from file1.cp, I need to open file 2, screen
4).
Am I able to do this in Captivate 1?
Thanks,
Kim

I've just gotten a chance to check out these responses. About
the Flash - no can do. Don't have it. And about breaking the file
apart, that would get messy because I have several files already.
OK. At least I know my options are limited to linking to page 1
from outside, so I'll have to be creative.
Thanks for the response.

All my movies are in 4:3 scale. I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, burns in 16:9 format. What must I do?

I need a help from you. All my movies are in 4:3 scale.
I use always the same Easy SepUp in Final Cut. My movies is compressed as DV NTSC in 4:3 format.
I need to finalize a dvd, and when the movie enters in iDVD, the preview appears already written in green "widescreen preview", and so the finallized dvd goes to 16:9 format.
I checked in Idvd, and the size is choosed to 4:3.
Interestingly, I've used iDVD several times, including by using templatesmade to 16:9, and changing the format to 4:3 it always worked well.
Maybe is an Idvd update that causes it?

Sorry,I know this is a month late, but I think I remember this happening to myself some time ago. As I can best recall, I believe I had used an MP3 music file in my project (exported from FCP 7) and that was the cause in some strange way. I remember deleting a file (again, I believe the mp3 file) and then it worked fine as 4:3.Not positive, but I hope this helps.

I need help on transportable tablespace, after convert and move datafile over the target server, How do I plug them in to the ASM instance?
And How do I start the database ? what controlfile I should use?
