DVD "Play All" Button Only Works for Two Clips

I have Castle Season 1 on my computer and thought it would be nice to create a DVD of all of them. I have a "Play All" button and an "Episodes" Button. Both seem to be registered as a button (Havn't linked the "Episodes" button yet)... I'm hoping to get the "Play All" button to do just that, play all of the episodes in a row, and to do that I have them linked by end action in a row with the last one going to the 'Last Menu'. It works for the first two episodes and then when I click the next chapter button (In the built in DVD 'emulator') after the second episode it goes back to the menu. To see if there was a difference in settings I switch between the first and second episodes to detect any setting changes, and there were none (Except the end action was set to different episodes). I am at a loss on what is wrong.
If screenshots or settings need to be posted just let me know, and I would be happy to post them.
Thanks Ahead

Glad that Playlist worked for you.
1.) The buttons don't animate when selected. On a DVD player, there would be no way to tell the difference on what I had selected, is there any way to remedy that?
In the Menu Editing Panel>Properties>Motion area, you can check Animate Buttons. This will show the Thumbnails as animations.
For telling the user which Button has been navigated to, one uses Sub-picture Highlights, which are only 2-bit color. Are you using a Library Menu? If so, which one? If it's a Library Menu, the Buttons should have the Sub-picture Highlights Layer in each Buttons Layer Set. If you created the Menu from scratch, did you add a Sub-picture Highlight?
2.) I want to add a video clip that will blend into the main menu, how would I go about doing that?
I do this often. First, I will go into Photoshop, and make a Flattened copy of my Menu, with the Sub-picture Highlight that the user will see (see above), visible. This will then be used in PrPro, as a Freeze Frame. In PrPro, I create the Video file that I want, and at the end, just add that Flattened PSD "Freeze Frame" from the actual Menu. This next part takes just a touch of math, but hang in there with me. We want a seamless transition from that Video to the Menu, so will use a Cross-Dissolve Transition between the Video on the Timeline and the Freeze Frame. We need to set the Duration of that Freeze Frame to just slightly longer than one-half of the Duration of that Cross-Dissolve. All we want is for the full Freeze Frame to be on-screen for a couple of Frames, as the Buttons will be dissolving in, and we do not want the user to begin pressing them yet, as they are NOT real Buttons, but just a graphic of the Buttons. I leave ~ 3 Frames, past the Transition. Remember, when you create that Freeze Frame in Photoshop, you want to make sure that the default Button's Sub-picture Highlight is exactly as the user will see it, when the real Menu comes up.
Export this Video (w/ that Freeze Frame at the end) from PrPro, as say a DV-AVI, and Import it into En as a Timeline. Set that Timeline to First Play, and its End Action to go to your real Menu.
3.) My C:// Drive is very small (60GB) as its just a boot drive SSD.
-3a.) Can I delete the cache without harming my saved encore file? (I only have 1GB left, and my system keeps acting up because of it)
-3b.) Is there a way to set the media cache to a different drive (I have three, and since using After Effects/Encore/Premiere the free space is shrinking at an alarming rate )?
This is a bit tricky. Do you ONLY have the one physical SSD? If so, you will seriously want to look into adding more. You can clear the Media Cache files (do not Delete the folders though), however, En will recreate them, when you begin working on the Project. HDD's are cheap, and for Video editing and authoring HDD real estate is very important. If you have more than the one SSD drive, please give us the full details of your HDD's, and how you are using them.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,

DVD Play all button

I've been making a DVD with iDVD, and found that a play all button wasn't an option. I want the option of chapters, but still want to be able to play all. What DVD software has an easy option of play all?
Thanks for any advice.
-christi

Hi
Play all resp one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.

Infopath submit button only works for the first row in a repeating table‏

Hi, I have a InfoPath Email submit button issue I could not figure out. I have a master/detail repeating table in my form, and one of fields is "EmailAddress" which shows customer's email address. I created a submit button and put the "EmailAddress"
field to "TO" object. When I tested it, the submit button only would return the first row of emailaddress from the repeating table, but not the rest of it..
What I want is when I highlighted a customer, and click the submit button, the current customer's email address would show up in "TO" list. I did some research and saw some suggestions about using current() function. So I put current() in the front,
like this:
current()/dfs:dataFields/d:vw_HZLeadLists/@EmailAddress
Still not working..Just return the first record of emailaddress from master repeating table... Does anyone know what's going on here? Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Use double eval to get all rows values. See my reply for more information in below thread:
eval(eval(EmailAddress, 'concat(ToField, ";")'), "..")

Hello all,
I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings>General>Siri. At the General menu "Siri" doesn't appear. What should I do to set Siri up if it doesn't appear at settings>general?
Thank you,

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Siri is set to On.

Hide "more" button in a list view, only works for first item in the list

I have the following code in a list view that outputs several dozen items in a web app. The code only works for the first item, how can I make it loop through and execute the test for each item in the list view? The {tag_hide more button} is a checkmark field that yields a numeric 1" if checked otherwise yields a numeric "0".
<div id="more-option">
        <p class="right"><a href="{tag_itemurl_nolink}" class="btn btn-small btn-very-subtle">More →</a></p>
      </div>
      <div class="more-selection" style="display: none;">{tag_hide more button}</div>
      <script>
if ($(".more-selection").text() == "1") {
    $("#more-option").hide();
</script>

What's the URL for the site where you are using this? Offhand, it looks like it should work with your first example so you are either placing the script before those elements are loaded or you might try wrapping your current javascript inside the:
$(document).ready(function() {
--- your existing javascript here
This make sure the code runs once all the html is loaded on the page. Without seeing a URL and debugging with the js console in Chrome I can't give you a solid answer.
But, I do know that you can probably do this with a lot less markup. Once we figure out what the actual problem is I have a better solution mocked up for you on jsfiddle.
When looking at my HTML code on jsfiddle, please realize I setup some dummy HTML and removed your tags and added actual values which would be output by your tags. The main thing I did was remove the whole div.more-selection and instead, added a "data-is-selected" attribute on your div.more-option element. Then, in my javascript for each div.my-option element on the page, we loop through them, find the value of that data attribute and hide that div if it's less than 1 (or 0).
Here's the fiddle for you to look at: http://jsfiddle.net/thetrickster/Mfmdu/
You'll see in the end result that only two divs show up, both of those divs have data-is-selected="1".
You can try pasting the javascript code near the closing </body> tag on your page and make sure to wrap my js inside a <script> tag, obviously. My way is neater on the markup side. If you can't get it to work it's likely a jquery conflict issue. My version is using the $(document).ready() method to make sure all the code is loaded before it runs.
Best,
Chris

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

How do I get a "PLAY ALL" button on the main screen for iDVD?

I spent a lot of time creating a DVD with pictures and music, and the main screen when I play the DVD shows all of the different scenes, but when I click on one of the scenes, it won't continue to the next one. I have to individually plan every scene in order to watch the whole DVD, rather than just clicking on the first scene and letting it play through. How do I make it so that I can either create another button that will play the whole DVD through or make it so that it continues to the next scene after the previous one is finished??

You can't create a 'play all' button with iDVD. All your separate scenes are separate movies as far as iDVD is concerned. You need to assemble all you separate scenes into one movie in iMovie and then insert chapter markers if you want separate entry points.
Apple's pro DVDSP does let you link movies to obtain a play all function.

Creating a 'Play All' button which will play individual tracks

I've created a DVD with a main menu with connections to three sub menus which each have several separate tracks, each with their own individual buttons. The tracks do not have chapters. I would like to make a 'play all' button on each sub menu, so that all the tracks play one after another. I have tried it in a 'story' but found I can't link separate tracks--that seems to only be for linking chapters within the same track.
I am already at 4.6 GB on a DVD 5 so I was hoping not to have to recreate another track with all of the movies in one... then I think I would have to jump up to a DVD 9. ... or...? Anyone have any info?

The easiest way to do this is as Eric said - create one track and put ALL your clips into it, delete the other tracks. You'll need to set chapter markers up, and use stories to play the different sections on their own, but you can then make a simple play all scenario.
If you really don't want to do that, you'll need to script this. The model to have in your head is that when you use the 'play all' button you set 'flag'. The first track plays and at the end the jump goes to a short script that looks to see if the 'flag' is in place - if it is you jump to the next track. If not, you go back to the menu. This continues for every track you need to include - each end jump goes to a short script which looks for the 'flag'.
the 'flag' is simply a value that you put into a memory slot. You have got 8 memory slots to play with, called 'GPRMs' (General Parameter Register Memory). They are sometimes called variables.
As with almost everything else in DVDSP, there are several ways to create this scripted solution. One way is here:
http://www.dvdstudiopro.co.uk/tutorials/play-all-1/
It has a set of sample files to download and explore. The thing to remember is that the sample layouts are not intended to be used for a real project, only prove the concept. A couple of additional things need to be done to make them suitable for full production.
If you are comfortable with scripting in general, a slightly more complex solution is here:
http://www.dvdstudiopro.co.uk/tutorials/play-all-3/
This last one uses just three scripts, and makes use of the internal numbering system to identify which track and menu you were just on, or going back to. Three scripts is simple, but the detail of the scripts is a little more complex! Once again, these are just examples and in order to use this particular sample layout a couple of other things need to be added to ensure it will work in a production disc. All very simple to do, of course.

Flash only works for one user

Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
Player."
JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
installed.
So does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control by following the instructions stated in
tn_14157.
2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
instructions stated in
fb1634cb.
Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
user accounts.
As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
would work.

Bob

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...
Hi all,
Need some suggestions here.
I have an old Creative sb0410 7.1 channel card and after reading few long threads, I am able to output dd/dts via 3.5mm to rca connector.
However, the problem is I only hear sound if the video has dd or dts sound. When I play normal MP3 or youtube videos, there is no sound.
Is there a way to configure the digital out so it sends all sound to the receiver whether it's dd or dts or regular stereo?
Thanks

As a workaround, I used another 3.5mm stereo to RCA adapter on stereo LR output of sound card and hooked to a different input in my receiver.
Problem, is I have to switch input in receiver for non DTS/DD sounds.
It's disappointing that my upscaling dvd player sends all sound signals via coax but this card does not.
Isn't it supposed to send all sound signals via coax regardless whether it is DTS/DD or normal stereo/mono etc?

Music DVD - Play All / Track selection

I've built a DVD project with buttons which link to stories for each individual track, which returns to the menu and the next track's button.
For the 'Play All' button, do I just use a normal button pointing to Chapter 1 - or do need to create a story sequence? If I point the button to chapter 1, will only this chapter play, or will the entire feature (13 music clips in one track) play right through to the end?

Marc:
You can do it of both ways: plating the track chapter 1 or building a Story with all chapters included.

Scripting Play All Button Question

Is there a way when I script a play all button, that at the end of playing each track individually, the button for the follow track is highlighted?
Thanks.

Eric,
There are several ways to optimize Play All through different aspect clips, depending on the project type.
One method is to conform the assets - though, this depends on the ratio of 4:3 to wide footage, and other factors - if you only have a couple of 4:3 assets, then you can make them wide (black on either side), and nestle them in with all the other wide clips in a single Track. You could also put them in another Track by themselves (still make them wide, and set for Pan and Scan - not failing to stripe the mpeg assets with the P&S centering vectors with John Brisbin's "Mpeg Append Force Pan and Scan"; that way the footage displays properly pillar bar'd on 16:9 TVs and full-screen on 4:3 TVs).
If you have more or less equal number of different footage aspects, you can order your 'Play All' sequence to play through all the Wide Footage in one Track first and then jump to the other Track with all the 4:3 footage lined up in there (prepared for wide and set for Pan and Scan, as outlined above, so the clips aren't stretched out when presented on wide displays), and play them all the way through. I do have a procedure I use to make the jump from the first Track to the second super compatible with even marginal players, which prevents the back and forth jump.
There are other ways, as well; again, depending on project parameters (and of course, wether Hal "got to 'em first" and had them script the twenty separate Tracks for Play All! ).
Heck, *you don't even need a single script to set a project up to Play All through 20 Tracks (or any supported number), and then to have those same Tracks be switched to single play mode for targeting from their respective buttons on the menu. Zero scripts.* Play 20 Tracks in the order you define, or singly play any of the same 20 Tracks and return to the menu and proper button. But it's still better to put all the clips in a single Track and go with Stories.
I have a start of an article on this whole question, and hopefully I'll be able to post it soon. My SPRM table I mentioned in another thread was delayed because of the games in NY (I'm based in Philly :- ), that will be up by Monday (feels good saying it!).
Oh, and one correction to my reply above; When I said a Track is an entire 'Video Title Set Menu Domain', while true, all Tracks and Slideshows include such a structure; I should have said a Track is an entire 'Video Title Set'. It was late (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it :- )
Take care,

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
