DVD Menu system on iPod?

I'm converting my dvd's to my iPod. Can iPod recognize and utilize the menu system on DVD's? or can you only add the file that is the whole movie. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to pick your dvd in iPod and have it start to the dvd menu and then be able to use the touch sensitive scroller to click different options on the dvd menu.

I suppose that if you wanted a movie and a trailer and deleted scenes etc, you could rip/convert them all and then put them in a playlist. For example I have the Grand Canyon and Hawaiian 3-part Brady Bunch Episodes in Their own playlists so that I can skip to the next video or play them through non-stop. What I wish Apple would come up with is the ability to use chapter stops, perhaps in a future update? But please fix the shortcoming of the remote control first. Good luck and much fun with your new iPod.

  • DVD Menu play all & chapter selections

    I have a client requesting something that he has done with Adobe's DVD authoring system that I don't believe Studio Pro can do, but thought I would put it out there and maybe someone else has figured it out:
    He wants 2 menus (MAIN & SUB MENU) - Main would contain +play all+ or +chapter selection+ buttons. +Play all+ button would start from the beginning and play all the way to the end without stopping. +Chapter Selections+ would take you to a SUB MENU where you could select only certain sections...and here is where it's challenging... _but after that specific selection (or chapter) is finished, that it return to the Sub Menu, rather than continuing on playing the rest of the movie._
    I have done such projects successfully; running time was short enough that it would allow me to make 2 Tracks. one with no chapter markers that would play all the way to the end, and the other with chapter markers indicating to jump back to a sub menu. Obviously this doubles the amount of data and it is not an option for this 95 minute program.
    Am I missing something fundamental? I hope so. Any insight as always is appreciated and I hope that made sense! Thanks again.

    Hi Brittney
    I just saw this post and wanted to ask you a question about stories before I set up my project.
    I'm a little nervous as my project is 95 mins, has 5 Chapters, and three of these Chapters have Sub Chapters and Sub, Sub Chapters (if that makes sense?). Because the project is so long I need to set up up properly.
    I need to be able to either Play All (from start to finish) or go to each Chapter/sub chapter/sub-sub Chapter and come back to the relevant chapter menu each time.
    Is stories the way to go with this? I haven't done such a complex project and have always been able to use 2 tracks (a play all and then chapters) .
    How do I set this up properly? If I put in all the chapter markers in the FCP timeline and export them out into Compressor and then into DVD SP, is this the best way to go?
    How do I then link all my sub chapters, using Story, to come back to the relevant menu, like an end jump?
    I hope this makes sense? Cheers and thanks,
    Margie

  • Create a DVD menu to play only selected scenes?

    Hi,
    I'm using Premiere Elements 11.  Is it possible to create a DVD menu for automatic play of selected scenes?  As an example, my movie may have 12 scenes.  However, I would like to give the user the capability to play scenes 2, 4, 6, & 12, without interruption (or the need to go back to the menu).
    Thanks,
    Dean

    ATR,
    I also think that your workaround can work for this instance, unless I mis-read the requirements.
    As for Encore, as of EncoreDVD 2.0 (CS 2 Production Studio in my case), Encore CS 5, CS 5.5 and CS 6 (the end of the line for Encore), it can do that easily.
    Now, I am only guessing with Sony's DVD Architect, but would hope that it can do the same. Maybe Steve Grisetti can comment, since he "wrote the book" on that program.
    As we all know, PrE has many authoring limitations. First, they are semi-automatic, and very linear. That said, for most users, it works just fine. However, there are many, fairly common navigation schemes, that just do not directly figure into what it can do.
    The downside to a full-featured authoring program, is that that "semi-automatic" work will not be done - one must do things by hand, but with that extra work, comes vast power. To me, that is a small trade-off. I will go for "power" any day. Of course, as I normally use Encore, I am used to doing much by hand, so it's just part of my authoring scheme.
    I wish that I knew Sony's DVD Architect better, but I have used Encore for so long, that I have never found a need to even look at it. All that I know has come from here, or Muvipix, where it always gets great recs. Since Encore is no longer part of Adobe, I have the choice to either stick with my versions, or look to another authoring program. Over the years, I have used Encore, Sonic Scenarist (never owned it myself, but authored on other's systems, since it cost about US $50K), and DVD Studio (good, but with a clunky interface). Encore was my go-to app., but then, it will be no more.

  • Dvd Menu Adobe Premiere Elements 10 for Mac with bad resolution

    Hi, I use a MacBookPro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 - Intel Core i5 2,4 GH - RAM 4 GB.
    I just purchased PRE 10 version hoping to solve a problem I had with version 9 for Mac but not with a version 7 for Win.
    I
    My problem is that when I burn the dvd with the final work in PAL system, the menu of the DVD has the text very blurred at a very bad resolution.
    I searched this forum and I didn't found a similar problem for Mac user.
    I had the same problem with PRE 9.
    Same problem if I insert a logo in the corner of the video. Very bad resolution image in the final dvd.
    I tried to change the beginning resolution of the image from very low to very high and the result was the same.
    Someone has similar problems? Someone did find a way to solve it?

    Dear Bill, many thanks for your answer.
    This is the Project Preset chosen.
    As the source is a JVC Everio with hard disk, I chose PAL - Hard Disk - Widescreen 48 KHz
    The source is as I said a JVC Everio in SD size. I saved the files in a backup Hard Disk. They are .mod files.
    I don't know how to see if a Menu Sets is HD or SD. I tried almost all the available Menu Sets always with the same blurry results.
    These images explain better than words.
    Note that the firt image in the DVD Menu is perfect, not blurry. And this add a little bit of mystery :-)
    this is the scene selection that has text blurry
    And this is the logo I put in the right bottom side of the video. It is blurry. I put a high resolution image and it was blurry. Then I tried with an image .png with the same width of the video (720 pixels) and this is the same blurry effect:
    The solution I use in these days to have goog results is very time expensive.
    I make the editing work in my mac, without logo and menu. I make a dvd. Then I import the VIDEO_TS folder in my old pc, with my old version of Adobe Premiere 7.0. I insert the logo, I make the menu and then I make a dvd with my old PC and the resolution is the one I want.
    Obviolusly I'd like to do all the work in my Mac...
    The same problems and solution I used also with PRE 9.0
    By the way, I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements in my Mac instead  iMovie because I need to do videos longer than 2 hours. And iMovie has this limit.
    Many thanks in advance for help. There is someone that is using Mac and PRE 10 with GOOD results?

  • DVD Menu Editing

    Somewhat disillusioned by the breadth of the pre-canned menu offerings in the "Street" version of Prel 9 and refusing to be held hostage by Adobe's "Plus" offerings, I decided to open up the world of DVD menu editing.  I downloaded Chuck Engel's excellent PDF on the subject (is there an updated version to that? - His discussion centers around Version 2, although for the most part, his notations from that version on how to construct menus seems to be quite applicable to Prel Version 9; i.e., the basic syntax for naming the layers hasn't changed).
    One thing I noticed when browsing through the DVD menus directory
    Adobe Premiere Elements 9 -->DVD Templates --> DVD Menu Name
    Is that most of the template structures use the PAL pixel dimension  for SD (640 X 575) as opposed to NTSC (648 X 480).  Is there a reason for that?  There are skeleton templates for all four major formats (SD-NTSC, Wide Screen NTSC, SD-PAL, and Wide Screen PAL) and it would seem, at least superficially, that using the PAL pixel dimensions, as opposed to the NTSC pixel dimensions, would result only in a marginally larger vertical size of any resulting menu developed under those constructs, perhaps inferring that the tops and bottoms of any menus developed using the PAL construct would be slightly truncated.
    Of course, if one still used the NTSC text and graphics guides, that would not be a problem.  My basic questions is:  In the majority of pre-canned menus offered by Adobe with it's base product, most of them seem to use the PAL pixel dimensions for SD as opposed to the NTSC dimensions.
    Has anyone experienced difficulties with menus developed under the PAL definitions and used in an NTSC format ... incorrect menu size, strange appearances, etc., and more, why would Adobe package tier product with so may PAL menu templates if they weren't usable in the NTSC environment?
    Thanks ...

    Continuing ...
    It would appear to me that PrEl only needs a correctly named template file in the templates folder.  If the syntax of the name is correct, PrEl will attempt to use it.  For instance:
    An  SD NTSC template file name is structured thusly:
    TemplateName_formatName_mm.psd
    Where format name = ntsc_s; the entire file name being:  TemplateName_ntsc_s_mm.psd
    The equivalent SD PAL menu would be named:
    TemplateName_pal_s_mm.psd
    In essence, to me at least, this infers that if the file name is correct, PrEl will present it as a selection option, regardless of what is actually contained in the file.  Of course, it must be a valid file type, but I am suggesting here that PrEl will attempt to use any file that is named correctly.
    Which means I can develop a file of almost any size (within reason of course), give it a proper name, and PrEl will attempt to use it as a DVD Menu.  By extension, I can develop a 16:9 menu, give it a proper name, and PrEl will allow me to use it, even thoiugh it looks crappy.
    When I began looking into this, I assumed that when you initially defined your project during the setup phase that Adobe set a flag somewhere in the application that restricted your choices in matters like menu development to only those components with comparable attributes; i.e., if my project is defined as SD NTSC (640 X 480), PrEl will only offer me options with similar attributes.
    This doesn' seem to be that case ... I can go in and select any menu I choose, even though its wrong for the format I'm using and it looks terrible.
    So as long as I develop my menus with favorable pixel dimensions that compliment the display format, I can name it anything I want, as long as the name has the proper syntax.
    Interesting.
    An aside ... I have gotten so into this I an strongly considering jumping into the Premiere Pro arean and it would appear the menu system there is somewhat similar to what we are discussing here.  Yes?
    Thanks again

    I just got a new iPod touch for Christmas and assumed it was using ios5.  But there is no icon for icloud anywhere on it and I can't find where it tells what its operating system is.  How do I find out what operating system my ipod touch is using?

  • My itunes library has everything by artist name, yet when i sync my ipod to it, some songs are only visible in the song menu but not the artist menu, how do i fix this problem so that evry song is visible under the artist menu in my ipod

    I bought an ipod classic and got it 2day. I have over 18000 songs on my itunes and all the songs have all the correct info. I tried syncing my ipod today and all of the songs have gone onto my ipod.
    However my problem is that quite a few songs are not in the artist menu and only in the songs menu on the ipod, even though evry bit of information for the song is correct.
    I would like all my songs under the artist menu on my ipod as searching through the song menu is ridiculously time consuming.
    Can anyone fix my problem?

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

  • How do I transfer legally Owned DVD's to my iPod Video?

    I got a new iPod Video for christmas and I want to know how to take my own personal DVD's and transfer them to my iPod. I've read lots of threads about this subject but I haven't been successful in transfering anything. I downloaded Videora and DVDFab Decrypter but I don't know how to use them. I also found a lot of feedback saying that it would be illegal to transfer DVD's to the iPod and all I can say to that is, that's absolutely ridiculous. I bought the DVD's legally and should be able to transfer them. I paid for them and I don't plan on selling them to anyone else so explain to me what's illegal about it. I think that preventing us from transfering DVD's is just another way for Apple to make money. Eventually they'll come out with a Movie library in iTunes that you'll have to pay for, they already have music videos and tv shows. The other thing that really ****** me off is that in no way do they make clear that you're not allowed to transfer DVD's to your iPod. I think that a lot of people assumed along with me that you can transfer any movies you wanted to the iPod without a problem and the fact that you can't is a serious question in my mind as to whether or not Apple has committed fals advertising. Apple products are already priced much higher than they should be and I feel that this is just another way for them to make money. Sorry I needed to rant. Can anyone help me transfer my DVD's to my iPod? Or direct me towards some other 3rd party programs that might work easier?
    Compaq Presario R3000 Notebook   Windows XP  

    "Why would anyone want to stare at that little screen for 2+ hours... I dont think apple false advertised at ALL...
    Watching a movie would just kill your battery and waste a lot of space on your iPod which was first intended for music..
    Pretty common sense if you ask me."
    whowhat I think that a lot of people want to watch movies on the new iPod otherwise the software that transfer DVD's to iPod's wouldn't exist. And I'm sorry but what is the point of making an iPod video if you can't watch movies on it? so that you can watch a music video for 3 minutes? or your choice of 5 tv shows or however many there are? I don't think so. I just feel that if I pay $400 for a new iPod and I spend $20 on a movie, I shouldn't have to pay an extra $30 just so I can get the software that puts DVD's onto my iPod. Obviously if I'm at home I'm not going to sit and stare at the iPod but the whole point of an iPod is that you can have all your music and all your videos on the go when you're on a plane or a train or a long car ride. I just think it's bull **** the way apple does business making everything overpriced and all I'm saying is that when I bought the new iPod I expected that I would be able to put my own movies onto the iPod. And even though when you buy a DVD you're buying the right to view it, not the rights to it, all I would be doing is viewing it on my iPod, how is that wrong?

  • Spry tabbed panels as menu system

    Hi,
    This is actually for Dreamweaver CS6.    What I'm trying to do is use spry tabbed panels as horizontal my menu system.    I want to have basically the functionality of the adobe.com menu system where the drop downs are tabbed and the content box size varies depending on the tab and the content box moves it's position relative to the tab that's selected.     I did manage to get the mouseover working so the tab's change according to which tab the mouse passes over.
    My current problems are these:
    I managed to change the content panel box size so it's not the same width as the full panel tab group however I cannot get it to move relative to which tab is selected, it just stays fixed in one location.
    The content tabs are pushing the body of my page down instead of showing up over top of it which is obvioulsy not very condusive for a menu system.
    I would like the default to show none of the panels until someone mouseover's one of the tab's and for the panels to dissapear when the mouse is not in the menu system.
    For something similar to the adobe.com menu system am i using the right feature (it looks like tabbed panels to me) or should I be using a different spry feature, I would like to have text and an image in the content box under each tab just for overall effect.
    I'm quite inexperienced with CSS and Javascripting and have basically gotten this far with trial and error modifying the CSS settings but I'm unable to modify the javascript on my own.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Note - I agree with Nancy
    As for your experiment, to prevent the "drop" reduce the spry CSS padding in line 76 selector from  21px to 18px.
    .TabbedPanelsTab {
        -moz-user-select: none;
        background-color: #000000;
        border-color: #000000;
        border-left: 0 solid #000000;
        border-style: solid;
        border-width: 2px 0 0;
        cursor: pointer;
        float: left;
        font-family: "Myriad Pro";
        font-size: 1em;
        font-weight: normal;
        height: 15px;
        list-style: none outside none;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 4px 18px;
        position: relative;
        top: 0;
    Don't use dummy text without normal length text with breaks

  • Is there an easy way to replace spry menus with jQuery menu system?

    I just learned that Adobe is no longer using spry or that spry does not work on mobile devices. My entire site (built in CS5.5 moved to CS6) is built with 3 different spry menu systems. I have been told about jQuery, and many other menu system options. I work in design view and can copy and paste code, read code etc...but cant write it to save my life.  I cannot seen to understsand how a different menu software system will integrate with DW especially when I use design view. My question is, is there an easy way to change my spry menu's? I have 2 spry menu bars, spry tabbed menus on EVERY page and a spry accordian menu that repeats on all pages. I am working with a template I built, so hopefully it is an easy fix.
    Any walkthrough help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the code for my template minus the div set up.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 DVD Menu

    I read somewhere that I could make a DVD menu, in Adobe Elements for Adobe Premire Elements 10, but I am having troubling figuring out how to do so. Dose anyone know if there is a written or video tutorial for making a dvd template in Adobe Photoshop Elements 10? As that would really help me out, and I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    The Menu Sets in PrE are very involved, as PrE does a lot of semi-automatic authoring, so things have to be done a very specific way. This ARTICLE links to a thread in the Photoshop Forum, where I discuss the naming conventions, etc..
    When on is working with PrE Menu Sets, I have several recommendations:
    Only start with, and Save Copies of the Menu Sets.
    Keep one of the Menu Set Templates handy, as a reference.
    Remember that Photoshop can both create and edit Layer Sets (the structure of Buttons), while PSElements can only edit them, and not create them, unless something was changed with PSE 10.
    Sub-picture Highlights (the Button "activation" part), can only be 2-bit, and cannot have any FX.
    The Layer, and the PSD naming conventions are extremely important. Those special characters are what make the Menu Set work.
    When done, Save into a new folder, withing the DVD Template folder hierarchy, and also do the PNG files, just like the DVD Templates have, so you can see them in PrE.
    Good luck,

    PS - I think that Steve Grisetti covers a lot of this in his PrE and PSE book.

  • Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?

    Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?
    I tried the "Import" function and that didn't work. Is there a function to convert and import or is there a program that might accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would argue that transferring the movie to another medium for *your own personal use* is covered under "fair use", but of course I am not a lawyer. The law that you may be breaking would be the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Read up:

    In any case, we still can't tell you how to do it on these forums.

    You can 're-install' from older installer disks, even on 10.7.
    And it is by far superior when it comes to customization of DVD menu design etc, compared to Toast.
    'Most economical' solution to burn video onto disks is the free tool Burn ...
    Toast is an excellent 'disks related' tool, with zillion of features not seen in this combo with any other app .....-
