DVD pauses at each chapter?

I created a Keynote presentation and exported it as an iDVD project from the export menu of Keynote. It exported into iDVD just fine and I burned the disc just fine but now when I go to play the DVD back, it pauses at the end of each chapter. I checked all the setting and I can't see where it's telling to to pause at the end of each chapter. Any ideas on how to turn this off so it won't pause?

I found the solution. Thanks for the feedback. I'm afraid this one was my own dumb settings in Keynote. Apparently when you choose to have a transition happen on a click, that will create a chapter break when you export it as a movie and pause that movie when you get to that slide.
I had two spots that it did this on. I fixed one because that one was a slide transition one but I missed the second one inside the slide. When I fixed both to happen automatically, the chapter break disappeared and the pause went away too. Now the movie is one single chapter with no pauses.
Other than that, the whole process worked flawlessly. Awesome presentation. Mark it as yet one more thing a Mac can do that a PC can't (recent switcher). I wanted to originally export a PowerPoint presentation to the DVD. It is a MAJOR amount of work using something like three or four different programs to accomplish it. Mac did it in two (both included with the system) with three clicks. Not bad...not bad at all.

How to pause after each chapter?

I have a 30 minute video with 12 scenes (chapters).
I would like to play each of the scenes (chapters)
with an automatic pause between each one,
and use the DVD's "PLAY" button to continue
the video after each pause.
How do I configure iDVD to pause after each chapter?
Thanks,
David

Hi
There is one major miss in all iDVD versions and this is the mirror effect of same problem.
There are no "Play all" button in iDVD
and in Your case there is no opposit either.
You'll need to put in each Chapter as an individual movie. Then You can play Chaper 1
and follow with Chapter 4 or what order and pauses You want.
Then if You want a "Play all" You just keep the full movie.
(Usually I have to recommend the building of the full movie when there are
lot's of small parts and people wan't the "Play-all" button)
You made this and have to do the parts instead.
Yes this will reduce the time/space awailably to about half.
alt.
Use Roxio Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro where this can be done without doubeling up
the material.

DVD Pause

Is their a way to have the DVD pause after every chapter .
This DVD is to be used in a Lecture.

Mark the chapter to pause at end (select the marker) in the Inspector (purple section in lower right in http://dvdstepbystep.com/layofland.php) The inspector will change depending on what is selected, so when you select the marker, it will look different than what is in the image

Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously

Hi
Blu-ray disc burned with Encore CS4 stops after each chapter instead of reading continuously
This happens with an entire series of chapters but does not happen with another series of chapters on thre same DVD.
I am missing something to solve this issue.
Can anyone help?

Hi Jeff,
I just checked:
There is no override on the montage

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
PS I have DVDSP Version 4.2.1

End jump after each chapter

I have DSP 4.2.0
I want the DVD to jump back to the menu page after each chapter is finished.
Can someone direct me on how to do this? I tried under "connections" setting it up, but it didn't work.
Gerry

First off, there are three different layouts that you can use for DVDSP. The vast majority of people use the 'Advanced' layout which gives access to all of the tools and settings. Whilst it looks daunting, I recommend you switch to it. That way, you'll be seeing it the way others see it, and the instructions will make more sense to you.
You can add commands to lots of elements in your project. If you have a single video in your timeline and have put chapter markers along it, you can set an 'end jump' on each chapter marker by simply clicking on the marker once and looking in the property inspector for the 'end jump' setting. Use this to set each to go back to the main menu when it has played through.
However, this will not be the most reliable way to get this done. It will work on some players, but users will be able to skip through the track and bypass the end jumps. You can prevent this if you want, but an easier and more robust way to achieve this is to use stories.
If you look on the top bar of the app you'll see icons that enable you to add new elements to your project. Adding a story is as simple as clicking on the story icon.
A story is a container for chapters, and works like a play list in iTunes. You can add one or more chapters to the story, but in your case you only want to add one per story. Stories are also elements in your project and they can have end jumps on them. You add a story, and then in the story tab drag a single chapter from the list of chapters into the story container. You repeat this for every story you need. Then set the end jumps for the stories - click on a story in the outline view tab or graphical view and look in the property inspector... set the end jump for each story to go back to your menu.
The buttons on the menu now need to have the story container as the target and NOT the chapter inside them. This is crucial.
If you do this correctly it will work as you want it to, with just a single chapter playing and then the disc sending the viewer back to the menu.

Export each chapter as one H.264 file

Hi friends
I´ve made a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits). The length of the project is about 2 hours.
I´ve already divided the timeline into 20 chapters (in order to use in Encore when creating the DVD or Blu-Ray).
Now I´d like to publish a copy of this project to Youtube. But 2 hours is too length for one video. I thought I could separate the project into it´s 20 chapters. So I upload to youtube 20 files...the chapters.
My question is: Is there any way to order Adobe Premiere to export each chapter as one H.264 file suitable for Youtube (using the Youtube Widescreen HD preset)?
What´s the best way to do it?
Thank you for the help
Best Regards
Gustavo.

Gustavo,
There are three ways that a Reply gets the Correct, and Helpful answers, and two are almost the same.
The OP can make those assignments, so long as they had originally marked their post as a question. This can be done at any time, and is greatly encouraged, as it help the Adobe Forum Team. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1058744?tstart=30 Also, there is the often overlooked "Was this helpful? Yes No," that helps in gathering data. I do not think that those contribute to a poster's "points," but do help the Adobe Forum Team determine how well the forums are working. Anyone can mark those, and I encourage anyone, coming to a thread, to take a moment, and do that, especially if a Reply helped them too. Those can be marked, regardless of the Correct, or Helpful marks, and go into a slightly different database.
A MOD, with MOD privileges in that particular Forum, can mark Replies. Also, one might have MOD privileges in one Forum, but not others.
An Adobe Administrator, with full privileges can mark Replies.
Usually a MOD will not do that marking, while a thread is active, but perhaps with the push to get data for the Adobe Forum Team, a MOD, knowing that the answers were correct, did the marking? That is but a guess.
Good luck,
Hunt

Burned DVD pauses between pictures when played on TV/DVD player

When I burn a dvd using picture transitions and play it on a TV/DVD player, it pauses for about 3 seconds between every picture and says "searching for signal". How can I burn a dvd to play on TV using the transitions without having the pause between each picture?

Hi
A. Did You use SlideShow function in iDVD - It is limited to 99 photos per Show - you can have more than one on a DVD
B. What brand of DVD did You use ? Cheap ones as Memorex, NoNames etc usually DO NOT Work - I only use Verbatim
C. What type of DVD did You use ? I only use DVD-R as they play on more devices (even older DVD-Players)
Never DVD+/-RW as they are known problem maker whatever brand used.
D. Did You set down burn speed ? I do to x4 = Less burn errors = Plays better
E. Free space on Start-Up hard disk, How much ? I never go under 25Gb for iDVD and Mac OS temp files and as they can not be stored elsewhere.

Why did HandBrake only copy part of DVD? It shows chapter 1-17 but only got 17 sec. ?

It shows chapter 1-17 but only got 17 sec.? I downloaded newest versions of HandBrake and vlc 64 bit. I went through the copying process twice and when I opened the movie I only got 17 sec and a still picture - different one each time. It took and hour or more to copy each time. What else can I do?

You have to select the chapter on the DVD which represents the entire video you want to encode.
If the video is made up of 17 seperate chapters, you have to select each chapter individually and add each one to the Queue. Once all 17 are in the queue, click start and the 17 chapters will be encoded into 17 seperate files.
What version of VLC player did you get? If it was version 2, you may need the additional vlc library. Just do a search and the result is readily available

When exporting to epub, only about 1/3 of my chapters are getting the page breaks. Each chapter is in its own doc, and I've tried splitting it apart by doc. and by H1, with no luck. HELP

All my paragraph styles seem to jive, and no matter what I do, most of my chapters seem to miss their page breaks. I've heard of others having this issue with older versions of Indesign, but I'm on CC2014, and I thought that should be fixed by now. I really don't want to have to learn HTML code and go break open the epub doc to fix it manually, because that doesn't always work across all devices either. I know others have to of run into this problem before. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure the paragraph style applied to the chapter title (if that's the first line of each chapter) is tagged. Open the paragraph style and go to Export Tagging and check Split Document (epub only). Then when you export (assuming you are using reflowable) under General>Split Document check Based on Paragraph Style Export Tags. Try it and let us know if this helps.

Table of content, I want to display just the image for each chapter and the name of the chapter. my book is not landscape format but each time I draging a picture into a specific chapter it duplicate it to all chapters why?

Are you using Microsoft word? Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users. I have seen this message from Microsoft word. It's annoying.
As BDaqua points out...
When you copy information via edit > copy, command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information. Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes. command + s does a save.

Here's How to change the image on the TOC to be different for each chapter.

Suppose you don't follow the Very Strict default Rule that you use the exact same image parameters (shape, pixels, size, etc.) for your Table of Contents image entry as you use for its associated Chapter, a requirement built in to iBooks Author that applies universally to ALL Chapters under the One Image Size and Location is Best For Everyone rule. Suppose you start adding chapters and messing with each chapter's image and then, later, it occurs to you to get the TOC all set up and when you go there you encounter a mess. Either by chance one of the images you had in one of your chapters found its way to the TOC and, gosh, now every TOC entry for every chapter has the very same exact size and location image! This is not part of your grand plan and then... how to make lemonade here? It's Not Obvious.
You can resolve this in your favor. You must do this patiently.
First, whatever image size is created in any chapter TOC window—by dragging the image placeholder handle re-size box—will apply to ALL image entries (i.e., chapter image entries) in the TOC . If you want maximum flexibility make the image placeholder box big. Hint: you may need to mess with the Edit Mask option in order to get the image placeholder size box in the size and location you want. An option here in preparing your images is to **** with Photoshop or Preview to really engineer the images that will be used for the Chapter Page and, separately, the TOC / these could be the same content images but formatted differently in order to look nice in their respective locations. The Chapter Page image can be manipulated on the Chapter Page. On the other hand, the TOC image must fit within whatever (universal) size you've created.
Plan ahead
Get your TOC images ready.
Loop until done:
a) from the Finder menu, right click on the filename of the image to be put in the TOC / select the menu item “Copy”..this image. This puts the image in the clipboard. Another way to get the image in the clipboard is to pull it up with Preview and pretend to crop it (full size) then command-C. Another way: just click on it if it is in a file somewhere and again command-C.
b) Click on the Table of Contents option (near the top of the left navigation column in ibooks Author ) and navigate to the TOC chapter for this image by clicking on the correct chapter “button” (a white dot in a black background surrounded by a white rounded-corner box) in the center bottom of the TOC chapter window;
c) Click on the image placeholder in this chapter TOC window to reveal the highlight boxes defining the boundary of the image;
d)command-V (paste); Voila! the image is in the TOC. NOTE: dragging the image into the highlighted imagebox (see c) above) will NOT work.
e) mess with the image by clicking the mask editor button so the image fits as desired being careful to move the image only and not resize the image box.
Go back to loop and repeat.

Finally, after a while, I finally found all the procedure explained,

My iBook has a blank page at the beginning of each chapter. How do I delete?

I have a blank page offset to the left at the beginning of each chapter. How do I delete them?

The first selectable template is "Basic"... the template - and any others have placeholder text and images excepting pages "Default" and Blank. The "Default" page accepts flowing text. "Blank" is just that with only any BG image and page numbering decided in the template.
Nothing you describe seems to be part of just opening a standard template.
Below are screen shots from the book tree and the layouts - these are the "Basic" template pages without any modifications.
Any of the pages shown in the tree can be deleted. Chapter and Sections will also delete any pages added under them.

How renumber footnotes at the beginning of each chapter?

Hi!
I work in Indesign 6 with very large books in which the author continually add text and pages make me travel pages, each chapter should begin with footnote number 1.
If I do with these sections do not move when I add pages and I have to update a one to hand.
You could do something by script?
Thank you very much in advance

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
