DVD @ access questions?

I am putting together a short promo DVD for a client and I have a catalogue of their products as an image on the DVD that you can access via the main menu. What I want to do is have it so the products are 'clickable' and will take the user [when online] to the clients web site. I did a search but I cant find out how to link this page to the DVD access settings in the inspector. Any help? Also, can you link a button to open up and email application so the user can email direct from watching this DVD? Questions questions questions....thanks in advance. Oh, Im on DVDSP2.

DVD@ccess is actually quite limited and not entirely compatible with the range of DVD playback software/hardware available on a PC... you might be better off using eDVD from Sonic (which is PC software, making use of the Interactual Player, rather than @ccess).
However, @ccess links are embedded in to a menu - so any button you have got needs to go to a menu that simply has the @ccess URL embedded and the menu needs to time out to return to where the button was. For launching a web site simply use the standard URL for the site, include the http:// info in that.
Now, sending an email is not going to work all of the time, but you can try it out and see if it has the functionality you want. The URL to place into the menu for DVD@ccess is the HTML 'mailto' code. simply write:
mailto:[email protected], replacing name, domain and .com with the revelant info. If you have got the @ccess links enabled on your Mac, try simulating the menu with this in it... you should see Mail launch (it takes a moment for it to appear, but should work). Whether or not this will work on a PC with Outlook I don't know...

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4. TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD PLAYER . I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE EAZY . THANKS

You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

LINK TO A PDF FILE WITH DVD ACCESS

Hello to everybody!
This is the first time I use this discussions area.
I'm desperate! I used the manual and all kind of online helps but still can't figure out how to link a pdf file inside dvd studio pro3. I enabled the dvd access but it doesn't work! I guess maybe it's something I do when a write the path where the file is or maybe the way I organize my folder! Anyways the thing is that it doesn't work not even in the simulation mode.
Please help me!! Thank you very much!
Daria

Hi Daria,
Have a look at:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_access_linkfile.html
or
http://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_dvdaccess.html
It contains a pretty good tutorial and sample files on how to do this. It can be done and it also works on Windows if the PC enabler [email protected] is included as indicated in the tutorial.
Cheers,
Uwe

DVD@access in DVD 4

This is my first time setting up a weblink in DVD SP 4 and in simulation mode it does'nt work. Has something changed from 3. All I did was check DVD@access fill in the website(http....) but it does'nt work. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

HI Jeff - nope, nothing's changed as far as I am aware... did you remember to check the @ccess settings in your DVDSP prefs and in your DVD Player prefs?

DVD@ACCESS PROBLEM URGENT!!!

I'm putting together a multimedia DVD and I have all of the menus and video assests set up and ready to run in any dvd player. I just can't seem to get the DVD@ACCESS feature to work so that I can link a PDF file. I set it all up like it says in the manual but when I click Build, it doesn't copy the pdf file into the build folder. This project could mean about $15,000 worth of scholarship money for college.

If you've run through all the steps correctly (and included the proper amount of "/"s) then you should be good. It's been a little while since I did the DVD@ccess thing, but it may be that the build doesn't actually put the PDFs in the folder. It may take you burning a test disk to see it.
There was something odd about needing to burn the disk to check it... I just don't recall what it was exactly. Try burning the disk and see if that helps.
Hope that helps!

DVD Access won't display PDF file ?!?!

We've gone round and round and are in ****.
We're trying to burn a pair of PDF files as a ROM onto the DVD as a separate entity, accessed from a menu.
They DID open in simulator.
The files (2 PDFs) don't end up in a folder, just loose, on the top level of the DVD and don't show up on playback.
We've tried putting them into a folder ahead of time and point to it just like the tutorial suggests.
We did enable DVD access on DVD player.
Linking to a WEB URL works just fine (we do get the concept).
WHAT are we doing wrong ? It must be some kind of file naming thing...
Any help ? Past deadline and looking really stupid.

We've tried putting them into a folder ahead of time and point to it just like the tutorial suggests.
The folder you are pointing to becomes the top level of the DVD on build. This is correct, so ...
If - for example - under DVD-ROM, content, location you have selected /Users/mellon/ROM_FOLDER then inside this folder you need to create the sub-folder you want on your disc, eg 'PDF_EXTRAS', and put your two .pdf s inside this.
On your DVD you would then end up with three top level folders on build:
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
PDF_EXTRAS with the files in it

Automatically activate / click button in menu - dvd@access

Hey all -
I'm creating a DVD in DVDSP 4.1.2. There are video sections as well as DVD@acess sections. I have a main menu with a handful of buttons - some go to video some go to dvd@access menus. My main menu is a still image.
What I want to do is have the user click on a button and have them go to the dvd@access menu...which would then load the internet site I have set up for the menu. What I want to do is immediately after loading the dvd@access menu I want a to activate a button on that menu and automatically send them back to the main menu. Effectively automating a "back" button. I want the web page to load and then send them back to the main menu to make another selection. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

assign the menu a duration and use a timeout target.

DVD Access not working on PC

I have several menus that go to a link when the link is clicks, and it works fine in a mac. But after installing DVD Access for PC, the links don't work?
I am using Ravisent Cineplayer, and also Windows Media Player. Neither of them work with DVD Access.
What progams are compatible with DVD Access?

DVD@ccess is not consistent in the PC platform. Sonic solutions has been referenced by others in this discussion but this is not a sure bet. Check the archives on the strategies and options.
I was presented this situation last fall and we concluded (with the client's blessing) to merely put up a splash screen directing them to the URL's. Not as elegant but the message was received and the call to action (despite not having the elegant solution) was acceptable to the client.
Lesson Learned:Ask what is the intention of the client and meet that need.

WRT54GS V6 access question.

Just set up the network.
WRT54GS with a Wireless-G USB adapter
2nd pc is linked and working great!
Question is: How do I access the 2nd pc from the 1st pc?
I click on my computer > network places > view computer work groups.
When I click on the 2nd pc it ask for a password. Where would I find the password to access the 2nd pc? I checked the Easylink advisor but can't find anything.
Anyone know? I would like to transfer files from one pc to the other.

Hi… This is the login password for you PC and nothing do with your router or adapter. If you have setup any account on this computer such as administrator or any other, you can provide login credentials for the same and access the shared resources on that PC.

DVD-RW question

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but it's a simple question: Can I erase-reformat-rerecord DVD-RWs with my Mac Pro? My former Mac couldn't handle DVD recording so it's new to me. Perhaps a reference to an Apple help page. Thanx,
Ken

Hi,
I don't know about the Finder, but I suppose it's possible with Disk Utility. If you have Toast there are 2 options to delete RW media (+ or - doesn't matter): a fast mode will delete it, but you must use Toast to burn something the next time and a slower mode will take longer, but the media will be writable with any software.

Expanding network with TC and access question

Hi All
I need to look at a new external hard disk since my current 160gb is just getting too full, so I figured it might be time to get a Time Capsule, probably the 1tb.
I've got two questions before I do..
1. Currently I have Sky Broadband. I've read a lot of people saying that it is not possible to make TC part of the existing network through wifi so have to connect. If thats the case I'm probably better off with standard network drive. Has anyone managed to do this yet? Im wondering if the reviews I've read are just that people couldn't work it out?
2. I assume this is the case, but can I access the HD as a standard network drive for general storage? Is it possible to define how much space Time Machine can use say 500gb, and leave 500gb for general usage?
Many thanks for any answers

The issue I have is that Sky Broadband forces you to use their router for broadband access. They hide the user name and password on a chip so it is not possible to configure.
Besides my phone is downstairs and my printer is upstairs in the little office. My plan was to have TC upstairs, with printer connected. Have both the TC and Sky Broadband router all part of the same network.
Then I'd use a cable to do the first backup and use wireless for incremental backups.
It does look as though I can't use this configuration. But its a bit strange, I thought it was part of standard wireless networks that you could use access points to extend them. I assume then that apple are not using all of the standards?
If that is the case, I'd have to plug it into my router as a wired option, in which case any external HD with a network interface will do half the job I need.
I'm just trying to find out if anyone has managed to get it extended from sky (or other router). Note I can change my sky router settings so in theory could change the sky one to use the apple settings, does that make a difference? Anyone had success that way?

DVD Formatting questions

Hey there!
So here is the deal: I've edited a movie in 1080p in Final Cut Pro X. I've exported a Apple ProRes HQ version of my film with Compressor 4, and burned it. The problem is, as I'm sure you already know, that the quality *****. The gorgeous footage we took looks washed out and grainy.
I know full well that DVDs do not support HD. But when you go buy a DVD in the store, the quality is fantastic. What am I doing wrong? I have the CS5 suite with Adobe Encore if I need to use it. I know there is a way to make my footage look awesome on a DVD, I just don't have any idea how!
I know this isn't a Compressor question specifically, but I really have no clue where else to ask the question. I know the big studios have huge budgets to make their DVDs look amazing, but as far as I'm aware, they are using Adobe Encore or DVD Studio Pro to design the DVDs, and programs similar (if not exactly) to Compressor. What settings should I be using to make my footage look good?
Any help would be absolutely amazing. Thanks!
-David

Take a look at the workflow in this article. This article shows you how to convert your HD footage to DVD.

External DVD Burner Questions

I am looking into purchasing an external firewire/USB 2.0 DVD burner with Lightscribe for my PowerMac G5. I have 2 questions: 1) Do Apple stores (at the mall) sell DVD burners? I cannot remember if I seen one there or not. 2) What burner would you recommend? I need one with Lightscribe and would like to have firewire. The USB 2.0 is not necessary. I want an external drive if possible as well. Thank you for your help and advice!

Be aware that lightscribe technology is still quite in its infancy and others have had trouble with it. In addition, any attempt to label disks often yields in unstable shorter-lived disks than leaving the existing label side empty. I use jewelcase inserts to keep track of my disks.
If you must get lightscribe, some Apple Stores do sell LaCie Lightscribe drives occasionally. I've not always seen it there, and it really depends on the stock. You can look up places like http://www.macconnection.com/ http://www.maczone.com/ http://www.cdw.com/ and http://www.macsales.com/ for possible compatible drives. In addition, http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ has a good drive database to search from compatible drives.

Call Manager 4.13 Multi-Level Access Question

I need to configure MLA and have read the CCO documentation. My question is - I'm not familiar with the ccmadministrator account and want to make sure that when I'm prompted to reset the password to this account immediately after enabling MLA - that I'm not going to muck up any underlying service that uses this account for something other than ccmadmin web access.

Hi Pklos,
I enabled the MLA and configured two functional groups and everything is working like a charm!
Thanks!
