DVD: determining the menu screen

H
I have a DVD with multiple menu screens that I am displaying
to the user fullscreen in Director. I need to intercept user click
on one particular menu button/navigation to a particular sub-menu
screen.
In capturing DVD ebents, I don't seem to have any information
in the parameters that identifies the menu screen or button. Yes,
the data returned indicates the number of the button but I have no
idea on which menu screen this button number resides.
Anyone know how I can determine whether of not the user is on
a particular sub-menu?
I can't even use mouseloc logic to determine which button on
the menu has ben selected as there are buttons at the same screen
location on multiple screens.
Thanks
Peter

Hello,
Please try the below steps...
- While the printer is ON, tilt ( up/down ) the display and check if it shows up the icons.
- Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from router.
- Wait for 60 seconds.

IDVD - dvd plays automatically without going to the menu screen

Hi,
I'm new to iDVD and burned my first project yesterday, after transfering it from iMovie.
A problem: I created chapter markers in iDVD, which when imported into iDVD appeared there. The home page let's you choose either to play the movie or select a scene. However, after burning the project to DVD and inserting it into a DVD player, it starts the movie automatically!
I would like it to go, by default, to the menu screen when inserting into a DVD player - so I can choose scenes. Any suggestions how I can get it to do that?
Thank you,
Mont

As you have rightfully pointed out above; I wouldn't assume iDvd'08 and iDvd'09 are identical versions. But they are very similar. There are more significant differences within separate iMovie versions, as well as iPhoto, GB, etc.
Have I tested the difference between iDvd'08 vs. iDvd'09? No, not yet. As soon as I do I'll make every attempt to post a few of the differences. At the moment, I'm looking into separate volumes / hard drive bootability differences between Tiger vs. Leopard on both an external FW HD as well as internal ATA and SATA hard drives. And it seems I have my work cut out for me in this regard for at least the next few weeks. As soon as I complete this latter issue I will come back to iDvd.
Under Tiger I didn't have to worry about making a clone (using CCC or SuperDuper) of my existing volume/s that contained iDvd and other i-apps. But apparently (at least at first glance) this is longer the case under Leopard.

In premier elements ...how do you render the menu screen?

I have Premier Elements . Do you render the menu screens for more clarity?

Welcome to the forum.
When you say render Menus, exactly what do you mean?
The reason that I ask is that for smoothest playback, one can Render the Timeline, but as the Menus are added in the authoring phase, after one has edited the Timeline, they do not get Rendered per se, though that does happen to a degree, when one Previews the DVD/BD.
I sense that there might be an issue with the Menus, that you are using. If that is correct, then it might be best to give us the details of first, your Project Settings, and then which Menus you are using. I suspect that there might be a mis-match there.
Next, please let us know where you are seeing a problem with the Menus, such as in Preview, or when you burn a disc, and play it on a set top player, attached to a TV.
The more detail that you can provide, the better, as it will be easier to diagnose any problem, and offer solutions.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

Anyone Else Not Get New Message Indicator in the Messages Section of the Menu Screen?

I have been on the phone with Technical Support numerous times and they don't seem to have an answer to this question, so I thought I would see if anyone else has experienced this. And before anyone suggests this, technical support's answer has been to pull the plug on the box to reset it and this has not worked.
The issue is with the "Messages" portion of the "Menu" screen. I know Verizon does not offer a light on your STB to let you know you have a message. Instead, you are supposed to be able to go into the Menu screen and see the word "NEW" next to "Messages" along with the picture of an envelope to let you know you have a new message.
For whatever reason, I don't get either of these indicators. I never thought I had a message until I was at a friend's house and they went into their Menu and they had "NEW" next to their Messages along with the envelope indicator. I went home and saw that I had about five messages in my Messages box, some of which were very old.
While this is not a huge deal, it still bugs me that Verizon has no answer. I thought my STB may have an issue, but other than this, they work fine. (By the way, neither of my STB give me either indicator).
So I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did you get it fixed? Did Verizon have to come out and do something, did Technical Support need to do something on their end, or did you need to get new STB? One time Technical Support tried to tell me that it may be an issue with Fios in my area, but that theory was shot down when I went to my friend's house. I have never gotten either indicator, and I have had Fios for almost one year.
I would appreciate any information you have. Thanks.
Solved!

Hi MiMeQu,
The indicator in the menu and the visual indicator on the front of the stb should both alert you of messages.
emphasis added in quote
It would be nice if the Verizon employees had the correct information when posting here. The indicator light hsa never been operational since I got TV service 3 1/2 years ago (as Matcarl said). The reason given by Verizon was "It confused too many users when the light came on and created excess calls to the FSC".
As for the envelope in the menu, mine used to work but also stopped working on my DVR (7216) about a month ago. To confuse matters my 2500s (2 of them) still show the envelope when there is a message.

Recently when I install apps, the icon does not appear on the menu screen, also, it shows that it is downloading at the app store and when complete, I can not open it or reinstall it. Has happened on the last 4 free apps. Help Please

Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

Help needed - want to skip to the menu screen, using any button!

hey there -
i'm creating a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4 - when the DVD is inserted, the viewer is treated to a bunch of trailers and previews - it's set up with the "First Play" option. i have to do it this way, for the client.
obviously, i'd like the viewer to be able to skip that stuff and go straight to the main menu. after all, that would be a pain to go through, again and again, if one wanted to watch the DVD mulitple times.
i want to create the DVD in such a way where the viewer can hit ANY button to skip the initial previews and end up on the Main Menu screen. they should be able to hit the "chapter forward" button, the "menu" button, or any other button. in other words, this should be a very user friendly DVD, for those that want to skip over this stuff.
is this possible? how do i do it? do i need to make a script? it's bugging the heck out of me, and the deadline is coming up way too fast...
thanks!

i want the user to be able to hit the "next chapter" button, or, ideally, any button; to get to the main menu. again, this is during the 2-minute trailer ad that occurs before the menu.
Place a Chapter Marker at the end of the track and set that to have an action to jump to the menu. (Place it at the very end of the track, and also have the tracks end jump jump to the menu, actually to prevent certain players ffrom blowing through chapter markers, place two chapters at the end, the action for the next to last one jumps to the menu, and also DISABLE all actions at the Marker, then the same for the next one.) You can also make it a story witth Marker 1 & 2 and then set the jump to the menu.
The inspector on the track provides all the main buttons on a remote, but some (like subtitle or fast forward) may not do anything or just behavee like they normally behave with no way of overriding them.
If you set the ones you can in the inspector for the track and then also use the chapters described above, you hit most of the main buttons you can.

Apps on the bottom of the menu screen???

Hi.
I only need ,for a daily use, a 3 apps on the first page of my display menu. I keep the rest of my apps on the second page. my questions is,how do I move my apps to the bottom of the display menu screen? It seems like they only line up on the top of the screen menu whenever I have few apps. I would like to keeep on my dock 4 apps and right above them my "daily use" apps so they would stay close one to another.
much Thanks
Krzysztof

No possible. If you have only 3 or 4 apps on a home screen, the apps will be located at the top of the screen - on the first row at the top of the screen which can't be changed to the bottom row in this situation.

My mac pro will not open to the menu screen. It stops at the apple.

My Mac Pro 13" will not open to the menu. It stops at the apple. Is this the hard drive or a soft ware issue?

Thanks of responding Kappy. When I push the on button, the computer will advance to the first gray screen with the apple in the middle, but goes no further. I'm not technical so not sure what diagnostics to perform. A friend told me that my hard drive may be bad or that I need to repartition my disc. He also mentioned that either way I would loose all of my data. This started last week with the pinwheel of death appearing often during the day.

HELP PLEASE ! ! How do I delete the Apple logo from the menu screen?

I need a blank opening screen without any animation and my client doesn't want the apple logo. How do I get rid of it and do I start with a nice clean screen with just the name of my client's company?

Hi there. Go to the iDVD menu, then preferences. You can untick the option on the General tab for "Show Apple logo watermark" and it will disappear Simple! (when you know how)

My menu button has started acting as the play button therefore I cannot get to the menu screen.

Is there anyway to fix this or will it need a repair?
many thanks,
Robby

You have to send it in for repairs if you can't Reset it by
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you can see any Red mark.
Pressing Menu and Center Button together at the same time for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.

Is there a way to make the resolution of my menu screens better?

When I burn my DVD the resolution is realy bad on the menu screens and the color is extremely muted and muddy is there a way to fix this?

a. What material did You use ?
• video codec (.mov, .mp4, .avi - is no codecs but containers - What's in them?)
• audio file format
• photo file format
b. What video editor did You use
• iMovie HD6
• iMovie'08 or 09 or 11
• FinalCut (Express/Pro/Pro-X)
c. 120 minutes - Are You using a DL-DVD ?
Duration is Movie time PLUS MENU. Menu can take 15 minutes or even more.
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
d. Frame rate: Don't know - PAL or NTSC or 24fps
Open in QuickTime Player and open Inspector and read (codec and frame rate)
e. Burn speed: Default
Set it down to x4 - Better over all result.

Losing Resolution on DVD Menu Screen

I have a three 5-minute videos I used to build a DVDSP4 project. For the menu and submenu screens, I used 2 high quality jpeg images, both which were approximately 5-7 megabytes in size. I built the Video_TS folder using DVDSP4, then burned it using Toast Titanium (not sure the version - whichever was released last year). When I view the menu screens on my new iMac, my older television, or on a high definition, the image is pixelated. When I play the videos themselves, their image quality is back to normal. I wonder if the jpeg images are too large for DVDSP to handle? Any other feedback would be appreciated.

DVDs are SD resolution only. So there is no point in working at high resolutions. Photoshop has Presets for the different SD resolutions (PAL, NTSC, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) use one of these to start off with.
DVD SP does a bad job of scaling down graphics. So if you do have high res graphics DVD SP must scale it down to SD res, and its going to do a terrible job of it, so you are best off starting off in SD resolution in Photoshop.
JPEG is a compressed format. You are better off saving in an uncompressed format like TIFF or PNG.

HT1600 I have Apple TV version 7.4.2 and we pressed on the remote the select button and the menu button at the same time to update our software. The box shows white light, we can get the screen to select netflix but nothing will move and the box will not

I have Apple TV version 7.4.2. We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did. Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off. If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away. I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference. Please advise.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
