DVD Doesn't Start From Stopped Point...

Hi All!
I have created a DVD with a standard MENU and 4 different episodes. From the MENU the user can view one of four epsiodes. The only problem is when the DVD is stopped and then played again it automatically just starts playing from Episode 4... Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi!
This sounds exactly like the problem I encountered recently. (Presuming you meant "stopped" and not "semi-stopped" as offered by some DVD players.)
Just have a look at your DVD in VTS view - my guess is that you will find your track of Episode 4 sitting in VTS 1 in front of the menue assets. It seems that most DVD players (at least the ones we have at hand ...) after stopping the DVD do not execute the programmed startup-action but instead just play the first video track.
Now one could think that moving the Episode 4 to a later VTS would solve the problem - not quite. Now the standalone DVD players we have did not restart the DVD at all! (That is with only the menue assets left in VTS 1 and the menue or a script programmed as startup item.)
The solution: If you do not have a legal disclaimer, logo or other intro-video that you can put into VTS 1 as startup item, just generate a second of black video to put in there (set as startup item) and program anything you like as a follow-up action of that slug. Voila! Your DVD player after stopping should now restart properly with your menu (or script ...) Our's did.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Ken Burns start and stop points

In iMovie, when using the Ken Burns effect how can I set the start and stop points to be the same? I don't want to just use "Crop" because my understanding is that using the Ken Burns effect will result in a clearer still photo.

The renderer that is used when the Ken Burns effect is on does give a clearer still photo when converted to video. On an older version of iMovie I could set the startpoint and then use a key-sequence that was a shortcut to set the endpoint to be the same as the startpoint. I was hoping there was a similar feature with the newer version of iMovie. Then I wouldn't have to adjust the start and stop rectangles for a 100 photos.

I record some information to some slides but the presentation doesn't start from the 1st one but from the one I started the recording. What should I do?

I record some information to some slides but the presentation doesn't start from the 1st one but from the one I started the recording. What should I do?
Also, can I use music as backround to some of the slides, not to all of them as I'd like to play videos on the others?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Config Tool doesn't start from the application list

Hi all,
I have installed Planning, EAS, and Workforce on a server but when I go to configure the tools, the config tool doesn't start from the page where you select the applications to configure. Instead, it starts with all the apps listed with the message: "You have selected the above apps to configure" and it has a Back button but it doesn't work, and it has a Next button and when I press it, it says Done.
I need to configure the database and deploy to the application server.
The Shared services is on a different server and is up and running. Essbase is on a separate server and that's up and running.
I am working with 11.1.1.3 32 bit applications on a 64 bit Windows OS.
If you have run into this, please let me know what am I missing?
Thanks

Hi
First of all I couldnt get your problem as in your query description you have written "sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0" which is contradictory with the query title "Video doesn't start from the beginning".
But anyways I think you should check ns.time in Play.Start there you should get always 0 but in Buffer.Full there may be the case that ns.time is not 0 but has some value but that value is very small less than 1.
If still you have issue please clarify your problem then probably I will be able to answer your query.
Regards,
Amit

Can a Lightroom adjustment brush draw a straight line by clicking the start and stop points?

Can a Lightroom adjustment brush draw a straight line by clicking the start and stop points?

I'm trying to selectively adust areas of an image in Lighroom. eg: a window frame in an architectural photo, and so being able to make straight lines with the adjustment brush would be very useful.
I agree it would be useful. It's something that's been asked for. The best thing is to keep requesting at the Lightroom feature request forum

DVD doesn't play from the beginning when inserted a second time into a dvd player

DVD burnt in DVD studio pro, when ejected and inserted again into dvd player, the dvd plays from where it stopped the last tome it was ejected. It doesn't rewind and play from the beginning.
Is the problem in the burning settings in DVD studio pro? any help is really appreciated!

My DVD Player setting was Last option played, I changed it now to "beginning". It now starts from the beginning when I insert it again, thanks.
Another issue is that my First play in the DVD is a Track, then comes a Menu. When I leave to the Menu while the Track didnt finish, and then click the dvdmenu on my remote control, the Track resumes from where I exited to the menu last.
Is that something i can control ? To make that intro track start from the beginning?
Thank you, I appreciate the help!

Power Mac 7600 doesn't start from Mac OS 9.1 CD

I'm trying to boot from a Mac OS 9.1 CD on a Power Mac 7600 I'm trying to bring back to life
but it appears the blinking question mark. I've tried using the "C" command but it simply doesn't boot.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

One of my favorite pre-G3 Macs! I have one that runs great.
---First, has anyone pulled/replaced/moved RAM modules? My experiences with several 7600's at work back in the 1990s was that the RAM needed to be matched in order in the slots and by size regardless of what the specs and several third-party tech reviews say.
There are eight RAM slots in two groups (of three and five slots) separated by an offset slot for a cache module You should see ID codes on the logic board by each slot: A1, A2, A3, A4; and B1, B2, B3, and B4. You want to load the slots in this order: A1, B1, A2, B2, etc, and match the module size so modules of the same size are paired. My 7600 has this pattern:
A1: 128MB        B1: 128MB
A2: 32MB          B2: 32MB
A3: 16MB          B3: 16MB
A4: 16MB          B3: 16MB
So, if modules don't match, match them and try again
Pairing RAM in this model gives a significant performance boost; the data path goes from 64-bit to 128-bit.
---Is the OS9 disk a full retail install disk or a gray one that came with a newer Mac? That could affect startup, Some disks for much newer Macs may not start a pre-G3 Mac.
---If the commuter has been off wall power for a long time the PRAM battery is likely deader than Yorick. That could affect startup from the hard drive but should not be at play when starting from a CD.
---Another issue that affects old computers that have been stored and moved around is loose cards. Make sure all card and modules are fully seated, especially the processor card.
Anyway, those are some things to consider. Keep us posted!

Macbook Pro doesn't start from internal disk. How to?

Hi.
My Macbook doesn't startup. I tried to repair it but it isn't possible and now I need to do one last backup copy before format it. But it doesn't pass from the grey apple screen.
I've checked the S.M.A.R.T. and it is OK. What else can I do to start from the internal disk on last time?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Telmo

Hi. Yes, I did. It goes on and on with the grey apple screen.
I just need it to boot one last time to save one Word document that I didn't had the chance to backup.
The internal disk appears on the disk utility when I star from the install disk and I select it to boot but when restart nothing happens.

Maps loader doesn't start from my PC Suite

I just updated the firmware on my 5800 and tried to start using the new navigation software.. it complained that I have old maps, so it deleted them. I updated my PC suite as well as the Map loader software. Now that I tried to start the Map loader from PC suite, it will only jump to a Nokia maps site and doesn't start. The previous version worked ok, but I guess it only gives my phone maps which are not supported. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, checking updates...
Any suggestions how to get the Map loader working or the maps to my phone?

Hi. Go to http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/ovi-maps/downloads-and-services , and download the Nokia map loader.

SQLplus doesn't start from batch when using host comand

Hello.
We have a form to export some data from old (7) database. For that we use batch file that runs sql script.
There is button in form. The code on trigger looks like:
declare
     HostString Varchar2(50);
Begin
     HostString := 'C:\Path\File.bat';
     Host(HostString);
end;
That batch file calls another batch file:
c:
cd c:\Path
call NewFile.bat >> Data.log
And in NewFile batch we call sql script like:
c:
cd "c:\Path"
set ORACLE_HOME=c:\Oracle\Path
C:\Oracle\Path\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE user/pass@db @C:\Path\Script.sql
@echo End
exit
In that script the code looks like:
spool c:\Path\File.txt
desc table;
spool off;
exit
If we run first batch in cmd everything works. When we use forms, form is working forever, freezes.
And Data.log file looks like:
(14:53:48,14) >c:
(14:53:48,14) >cd "c:\Path"
(14:53:48,14) >set ORACLE_HOME=c:\Oracle\Path
(14:53:48,14) >C:\Oracle\Path\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE user/pass@db @C:\Path\Script.sql
Here it freezes, log file is locked.
We are using forms 10 on AS 10. But we must use SQLPlus 8 to connect to old database (7) in that case.
Maybe this is the problem?
Any idea why this doesn't work from forms, but works when run manually from cmd?
Thanks.

U didnt mention version of forms and whether running in client server or web.
Incase of web note that host will execute on application server and hence u need to use webutil_host.
If u are on forms 6i/client server forms try invoking calc using host. If it works fine then u may have to use the code host('cmd /start c:\orant\bin\sqlplus.exe')

DVD doesn't start

I borrowed DVD - "WORKS of ART by THEO ANSEN"
After inserting the cd, Dvd player starts, but it doesn't work. I can see dvd menu right cornet at bottom of the screen. The movie doesn't start, but also I can't select anything in the menu. I can't even quit Dvd player, so I have to press shut down button. Why is that?

Hello!
The first thing you probably want to check is whether the DVD is clean or not. It may freeze when you put the disc in because it is having trouble reading it. So, first clean it off. Second, I would open up the DVD player application before you insert the DVD, and make sure the screen size isn't set to full screen, so you can see the desktop. Insert the DVD, and when it freezes, try clicking on the desktop and see if it can put the desktop in the foreground. You may get the spinning color wheel - let it sit for a while and see if it can fix itself. If it can't, press commandoptionescape and see if DVD player says "not responding" next to it. If it does, force quit DVD player.
If you can't get it to play with the above options, then I would try two more things. First, I would try a different DVD. If another DVD runs fine, then you can be sure that nothing is wrong with the computer and it is the initial DVD that is causing problems. If all DVD's freeze when you put them in, I would question whether the DVD application is working correctly; a reinstallation may be necessary.
Also, for added measure, why don't you go ahead and repair the permissions on your hard disk. You can do this by opening hard drive/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Disk Utility is a very powerful tool which allows you to perform many functions. All that we are interested in is the "repair permissions" function. On the left hand side of the Disk Utility window, you hard drive and volume will be listed. Select the OS volume, and under the +first aid+ tab select +repair permissions+. If you haven't done that in a while, you'll probably get a whole list of things that are repaired. Then, restart and try running DVD player again.
Hopefully one of these options works. Please let me know the results!

Share to DVD doesn't start at the beginning

I have a multicam timeline that I am trying to share to DVD. When I test the created DVD it always starts at about 3/4 of the way into the movie. I have exported a master file and I created a DVD in Wondershare Ultimate Converter and it also starts 3/4 of the way into the movie (at the exact same place). I am therefore concluding that it is my timeline that is the causing the problem but I have no idea what to look for. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Slim!
Thanks for the reply. Your screen shot is attached but it is pretty small. The position of the playhead is where the DVDs always begin.
I can only think that there is something going on with the multicam editing. This is the first time I have used it so I may be doing something wrong. Is there some way to "set" the final as a non-multicam clip? I ask this because I tried your idea of making it into a compound clip. I selected all the elements (CMD-a) and then right-clicked and selected New Compound Clip. It did not recognize my cuts but included all of the entire clips. So, undaunted, I undid all of that and tried again. This time it only selected the proper cuts and I put it into a new project. However, the DVD burned from that new project didn't change the outcome.
The funny thing is that all of the quicktime files play correctly, so there is definitely something weird going on.
Taos is great! It is an unbelievably beautiful place. We haven't had much snow this winter, though, although the ski valley has been good, but they are at 9,000 feet and we are only about 7,000.
More ideas anyone?

ps .. thanks for the other post but I am not getting that error. My piece is only 7 mins 40 secs and the share is completing.

The WF doesn't start from FV50

Hi all,
I need to link a custom WF to FV50 tx when a G/L document (type Cost Adjustment) is saved as completed and I was sure the right B.O. was FIPP, but this WF doesn't start even if the start event is FIPP.completed (active) and there's a start condition in SWB_COND tx about document type = CA.
Do you know there's another B.O. to use?
Thanks.
Angelo

Thanks Ute,
in fact the BO is right and the workflow now starts, but there's a problem about the start event: if I create a new document via FV50 and I save as completed directly the triggered event is FIPP.created (I expected "completed") while if I park it before and then I save as completed I obtain the 2 events FIPP.created and completed. That's why my WF didn't start.
I'm using R3 4.7ext2 and I didn't find an OSS note about this issue.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Kind regards.
Angelo
