DVD always starts from the last point

No matter what change I make in the project, the DVD always starts at the last point I stoped! And I need it to start at the main Menu every time.
I've already read many of the topics with similar problem, and tried so many suggestions... none worked for me! Maybe I'm doing something wrong!
I'm using iDVD 7.0.4, Revolution theme.
The first top left auto-start box is empty. Then comes the Main Menu. From it comes 3 other boxes with chapters, all of them with Slide shows (built directly on iDVD) and a few 90 seconds movies (on iMovie, then Exported - not shared with iDVD)
I already tried to delete: com.apple.iDVD.plist and burn the DVD again. I've burned almost 10 already, with different settings!
Please, if anyone can help me, I would appreciate!

All you need do within apple's dvd player app is to select menu and it will remember that spot next time the dvd is inserted into your mac. Or at least it should. If not, then there's something else going on.
A third party set top dvd player (in most cases) will also take you directly to the first menu of the dvd. Unless you simply hit "stop" in which case you should be prompted to resume playback at the last point played. Or again, you can select Menu from the remote to bring the dvd to the root menu page. Your choice.

  • How can I make my movies always start from the beginning?

    I want to use my iPod to present short videos as part of a live presentation. I've conquered the hurdles, and have the iPod sending video out to my projector, but I want to ensure that every movie starts at the beginning, even if I had cut it short in the last presentation.
    I thought I saw a setting for this somewhere, but now I can't find it.

    Right-click the videos that you want to always start from the beginning in iTunes. The options tab of the video file properties contains this option control. Uncheck the box that says "Remember Play Postion."
    Or hit the left side of your scroll wheel when launching it on your iPod

  • Problems with "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur". The tools don't affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points.

    Hello!
    I have some issues with Photoshop CC 2014. The tools "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur" won't work correctly. When I’m holding down the left mouse button and trying to erase or blur some area, the tools don’t affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points – like drawing a line. These troubles exist with mentioned tools only, other tools work correctly.
    I’ve restored each tool separately, restored all the tools together, installed new drivers for tablet, re-installed Photoshop and even Windows. Nothing helped. These tools worked correctly earlier with the same adjustments, but one day something went wrong.
    How can I make the tools work correctly?
    Some information about my computer:
    • Notebook Lenovo Y560
    • Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 x64
    • Intel Core i5 2.53 GHz
    • 4Gb RAM
    • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1Gb
    • Tablet Wacom Bamboo CTL-470

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem with the Background Eraser tool as well. It's the same both on my PC and on my laptop, both running Win 8.1 and PS CC2014. Would be great to have a solution for this. Did you managed to find a fix?

  • Hello.I have purchased a black 32gb iPhone 4 just two days back.Yesterday while putting my phone on charge,I noticed a deep thin scratch on the antenna in a straight line starting from the charging point to the speakers.Is it a manufacturing fault?

    Hello.I have purchased a black 32gb iPhone 4 just two days back.Yesterday while putting my phone on charge,I noticed a deep thin scratch on the antenna in a straight line starting from the charging point to the speakers.Is it a manufacturing fault?The scratch is quiet strange.It's a thin straight line,which I initially mistook to be a design.Can anyone tell me what it is?

    All warranty issues including manufacturing defects, are determined and handled by the Apple Genius. If your iPhone has any problem, contact Apple and they will solve the issue.
    "deep thin scratch on the antenna in a straight line starting from the charging point to the speakers"..... The only thing between the charging port and the speakers is a small screw on both sides of the port?

  • I can't get Firefox to start with a blank page, which I always managed to do up till 17.0, buy now it always starts with the last page.

    I have been using Firefox for several years, and know how to set my Home Page by going to Tools/Options/General, and selecting the appropriate tab.
    However, since the last update to 17.0.1, It now always starts as it was when I shut down, including multiple windows if I had them open. It is so irritating that I am considering changing my browser.

  • Playlist always starts at the begiing after turning on iPod.

    I originally posted this in the iPod classic section but thought U might get an answer here too:
    So I've had a 5.5 Pod loaded with many playlists for a year or so. I Just got my 160GB Classic, has about 100GB of music loaded now and the latest iTunes with new interface. I have several huge playlists that I play in my studio all day. So now when I stop the Pod and start again later or the next day (yes the iPod is off for a long time) , that play list always starts from the beginining and not from where I had left off.
    My old pod and the last iTunes would always start again where I had left off. Fo instance I always have shuffle turned on and if I had gone through 303 songs, the next time I turn on and start the ipod and same playlist, the 303rd song would begin-right where I left off the day before. Now it starts at the beginning, track 1 of xxxx many songs every time rather than where I was when I turned it off. What's up with this? A glitch???

    If you press Pause and power off, or play sonething else and go back, the selected playlist will start from the beginning.
    It has always been this way.
    If you press Pause and let it go to sleep itself, then press Play, it should start from where it left off.
    If the iPod goes into deep sleep, the playlist will start from the beginning.

  • STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING OF A TV SERIES

    Sorry if this is a bit thick but I can't seem to play a TV series I've bought the series pass to from the start. Whenever I click on TV shows, it starts from the last episode and I have no idea of how to start from the beginning. Does anyone have a clue?

    Have just figured it out!! You click on the top three options and hit 'by show!

  • My playlist starts from the end

    Hi,
    I've burned 9 cd's and they all start from the last song.   I've tried reversing the order but it still plays from the last song.   Any suggestions will be appreciated.   thank you in advance

    I had this problem when adding a book to my iPod.  Found out I had to transfer playlist manually (drag to iPod icon) for it to load in proper order.

  • AudioInputStream won't start from the beginning

    I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but here's a weird the situation. I have a number of audio files that I play together. Nothing complicated.
        public void playAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
                audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
                audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
                audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
                audioFormat_1 = audioInputStream_1.getFormat();
                audioFormat_2 = audioInputStream_2.getFormat();
                audioFormat_3 = audioInputStream_3.getFormat();
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_1 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_1);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_2 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_2);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_3 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_3);
                sourceDataLine_1 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_1);
                sourceDataLine_2 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_2);
                sourceDataLine_3 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_3);
                new PlayThread().start();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(0);
        class PlayThread extends Thread{
            byte tempBuffer_1[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_2[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_3[] = new byte[100000];
            @Override
            public void run(){
                try{
                    sourceDataLine_1.open(audioFormat_1);
                    sourceDataLine_2.open(audioFormat_2);

                    sourceDataLine_2.start();
                    sourceDataLine_3.start();
                    int nBytesRead;
                    while(((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_1.read(tempBuffer_1,0,tempBuffer_1.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_2.read(tempBuffer_2,0,tempBuffer_2.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_3.read(tempBuffer_3,0,tempBuffer_3.length)) != -1) &&
                          (stopPlayback == false)) {
                        if(nBytesRead > 0){
                            sourceDataLine_1.write(tempBuffer_1, 0, nBytesRead);
                            sourceDataLine_2.write(tempBuffer_2, 0, nBytesRead);
                            sourceDataLine_3.write(tempBuffer_3, 0, nBytesRead);
                    sourceDataLine_1.drain();
                    sourceDataLine_2.drain();
                    sourceDataLine_3.drain();
                    sourceDataLine_1.close();
                    sourceDataLine_2.close();
                    sourceDataLine_3.close();
                    stopPlayback = false;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
        }I also have a method that combines the three audio files into one. I usually call this method after having played the files for a short time.
        public void saveAudio() {
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Interesting enough, this code doesn't seem to combine the three audio files properly. What seems to happen is that the combined file starts at the location where I stopped playing. In order to get the files to start from the very beginning, I need to re-initialize the AudioInputStream.
        public void saveAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
                audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
                audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
                audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Is this normal?

    That definitely makes sense.
    I was under the impression that the AudioInputStream never loses the data it has read and that the AudioSystem.write method always starts from the beginning of this AudioInputStream. I need to stop treating the AudioInputStream like an array and instead treat it more like fresh water.Definately.
    AudioInputStream doesn't actually have anything in it...it's actually just a wrapper. Whenever you call read on it, it just reads whatever it's wrapping around, and returns the result. This is why it can contain both live data being recorded or file data or a network stream or...
    In this case, it is reading from a BinaryFile. Everytime you call read, it increments the file position... and it doesn't reset the file position when you call AudioSystem.write...

  • Video doesn't start from the beginning

    Please tell me there is a setting on the iPod classic to always start a video from the beginning of the video??!?!?! I am using the iPod classic for video projection.
    E.g.: I play video #1 until, say, 3:00. I select menu and go to another video or a song, a photo, whatever. I go back to video #1 and it starts at 3:00! WHY?
    I want iPod Classic videos to ALWAYS start from the beginning.
    Please tell me there is a setting for this.
    thank you

    I have good news for you, (compared to your other post!).
    Select the video in iTunes and click on *File/Get Info* and look on the Options tab. Turn off the tick in *Remember playback position.* You can bulk select some or all your videos to do this.

  • How do I make songs always play from the start of the track?

    I have an iphone 3GS and I have an issue. I'm sure there's a really obvious fix for this, but I can't work out what it is - can someone please help me!
    So the issue is... my music always starts playing from wherever I last paused the track, no matter when I last paused it. I tend to shuffle through my music and skip tracks a lot, and so I always want my music to start from the beginning of the track. It's so annoying when I get to a track and it starts blaring from halfway through the chorus, because that's where I paused it when I listened to it last month....
    Please could someone tell me how to fix this??
    Thanks!

    That is NOT normal... Restore phone! If that doesn't fix it take it to aan apple store and have them look at it! The only time the iPod app should ever start In The middle of a song is if you're playing the song you last paused!

    I am using iPhone 4 from the last one year and went dead and got it replaced by paying Rs.12500/- to Nyasa Sion Koliwada Mumbai Service Provider but now again after 38days the problem has started, what do i do? Is this is the quality & service we boost? On visiting the store we get only one reply you may write to Apple directely. we have the similar kind of problem with iPad which is being used by my wife Mr.Neelam Vij and paid Rs.16000/- to get it replaced within a year & 6months use. so in totality we have paid Rs.28500/- + Rs. 3000/- diagnostic charges.
    1. iPhone 4 , 32 GB Black with Sr. No. 88******A4T
    2. iPad 2, 16GB White with Sr. No.DL*******KPH
    Moreover, we have no information to contact whom. even the replace set has a warranty of only three month which further confirm that Apple itself is not confident wheather product will last after replacement for more then three month. Such kind of happening do not encourage anyone to recomend this product to anyone. Would appriciate a faster response to our problem if someone from Apple is going to read this email.
    Thanks & Regards
