First Play Menu doesn't work properly on DVD Recorders

I am an experienced PC Encore user. Just finished authoring a DVD with Encore CS3. Test results on Toshiba and Liteon DVD recorders yield a failed first play response (no menu appears). Test results on Sony set top players and computer DVD players, first play responds correctly (menu appears instantly).
I have created and tested DVDs on the same DVD recorders with earlier versions of encore and never had failed first play results.
Further, if I press the DVD Menu on the remote, the menu appears.
I discovered a work-around. I duplicated the DVD in a duplicator, tested the duplicate in the recorders and it worked properly. It must have stripped the header information from the master.
This is a problem with Encore CS3 and needs to be addressed. Many people use their DVD recorder as players, which is one of the reasons we use recorders to test.
Response . . .

AS opposed to lyonseye I am a plain novice on Encore - always dependent on templates. Now , I've just recently finished my first proper encore-project. Simple enough - one single menu linking to three timelines and wow my own pictures as static background! Checked and built (+R single layer) without any hickups in the error-report-department.
The disk plays perfect in various set top dvd's
but not on my own recorder(s)!!! ( 3 different machines tested with various players).
I won't go into machinery details (harm :-)) but would be happy if someone could explain to me if this is a common problem or eventually could point to the most usual reason for this unexpected behaviour.
Another question: the manual states that it is possible to apply motion background to the entire menu. I've tried this , linking video to buttons are easy enough as is linking sound to the menu. But pickwhipping ( did I spell that correct ,wonder) video to the background is a different animal.Short takes of approx 1 min duration was ment looping until buttons beeing pressed. Not working for me , maybe others could tell me the secret?

  • DVD menu doesn't work right in DVD players

    I've created a DVD in Encore for Mac.  It plays fine on my Mac and on Windows.  However, once it is inserted into a stand alone DVD player, the menu doesn't work right.  I have four text menus.  In the DVD player, none of those are navigable.  Arrowing up or down doesn't work.  You have to click a number on the remote keypad and then play. This also causes "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" and so on to display.  Any ideas how I can get the arrow keys to work?  I don't have a stand alone dvd player to test against.
    Also, in Windows, I have someone that wants to duplicate the dvd.  They're using Movie Maker.  It gives an error that the codec is not installed but doesn't say which codec.  Any ideas on that?

    The only time I recall similar problems was the issue Jeff was asking about above (Mac, Encore CS3, certain OS).  If you don't solve this otherwise, I'd experiment with that.
    You appear to have confirmed that there is button navigation.  (In button routing, each button points to another.)  Where does it break down?
    On the Mac/PC, are you using the mouse?  In the computer DVD software player, there should be a "remote" that you can use to see if the button navigation is working.  Does the computer "remote" option work?  If so, it makes it not working in a standalone player even odder.
    If not, then look at whether the project works before you burn to disk.  Does the "remote" work in the Encore preview?  Or build to a folder, then play the DVD from the folder.  (I don't know how on Mac; on PC, I find the first .ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder, and play that.)

  • First play track doesn't work is some players

    but the rest of my DVD does... meaning, it doesn't autoplay in my DVD Recorder, but it does in my second DVD player and in the computer...
    Any ideas, anybody? I am using DVD SP 3...
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Tato_LA,
    I've just ordered in a Sony RDR-GX330. Would you mind sending me your DVD that wouldn't play properly, so we can add it to our tests?
    I've been able to get projects working in specific troublesome players over the years before; and it seems now we need to get to the bottom of this issue with newer Sony players.
    Of course, I'll be sure to let you know how I get your project to play properly.
    Please contact me at Trai at comcast.net, or please call 800-213-2297, and we'll go over your project and set up delivery, etc., if you don't mind helping.
    Thanks for bringing this to our attention,

  • Start Menu doesn't work properly - feedback

    So if you log in as BUILTIN\Administrator, windows apps don't work in Windows 8.1
    This has been expanded to various critical parts of the OS, like the Start Menu in Windows 10.
    To put it mildly, this is completely bonkers and needs to be re-engineered (or finished).
    Also it kills the various ways of removing bloatware apps from Windows 8.1
    Say you had a variety of bloatware on your OEM Windows 8.1 PC, such as a lot of the crap Dell, etc. load onto OEM PCs, one way I had of removing them was to run the following script: get-appxpackage|remove-appxpackage
    As Windows Store and other vital bits couldn't be removed, that wiped off the bloatware.  Now, if I run that on the Windows 10 preview, it removes the Start Menu and other critical parts of the OS!
    It seems obvious that the additional parts of the OS in Windows 10 that are appxpackages such as the Start Menu should be in the same category as Windows Store - i.e. they can't be uninstalled.
    I have no doubt that was the plan but could you move the plan forward please as it cripples the OS at present because you can't use the Start Menu logged in as BUILTIN\Administrator

    In case you don't know.....

  • What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

    QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
    AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
    To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
    Reinstall the Driver
    Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
    Power Cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery if removed.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Start the computer and test the drive

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • Play button doesn't work in itunes

    I have just upgraded to itunes 7 and now the play function doesn't work? Any suggestions?

    it stays firmly stuck to the left!
    sometimes that is a symptom of a damaged QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    so let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it play properly now?

  • Sorting albums by year doesn't work properly in new iTunes 11.

    Sorting albums by year doesn't work properly in new iTunes 11.
    See the screenshots below.
    There's a kind of albums. Double CD in one set. Queen "The Works" 1984, for example.
    First CD is the original release and the second one is bonus CD for the original album's reissue in 2011.
    iTunes 10 took year info from track 1 of CD1 for "sort album by year" function.
    But new iTunes 11 takes the highest value of year in the album's track list.
    Same things with additional bonus tracks for the album's reissues.
    See the screenshot of Madonna "Like a Virgin" 1984 album.
    So my collection is in a huge mess after last update to iTunes 11.
    It's a big problem. And must be solved to the next update.

    I noticed this too, and I think it gets even more complicated when you think about the difference between how you want Re-releases to be ordered: based upon the intial release year (like you have described above), and Compilations or Greatest Hits: where you want them to be sorted by when the albums were actually released. iTunes 11 seems to just grab the date of the most recently released song on an album. This worked fine for 2/3 of my Compilation albums, because they just happened to be released the same year as the latest song on each album.
    Compilation example (released: 2003, latest song on album: 1969):
    This is what I submitted to Apple as feedback:
    This issue is actually aimed at  iTunes 11, but 10.6.3 is the most recent version number I could select in the drop-down menu.
    As with normal albums, iTunes 11 puts a release year next to "Various Artists" in Albums > Expanded View (and also in the Songs and Genre Tabs). However, iTunes seems to produce this number by looking for the last released song on the album. This has worked fine for 2/3 of my compilations, but the third one is a 60s compilation released in 2003. It displays "1969" next to "Various Artists" and there are no tags available in Get Info to change this. This also happens to greatest hits collections.
    When selecting View > View Options > "Artist" then "Year" in Album view, and View > View Options > "Year" in Artist and Genre view, the above issue causes compilations, greatest hits collections, and re-releases (Although users may want re-releases to be listed in order of original release) to be sorted in the wrong order.
    Considering iTunes 11 has added this feature (in previous iTunes versions, "Year" would only appear next to individual tracks), it is a shame an "Album Year" or "Sort Album Year" hasn't been added to the Get Info options.
    As is, the only solution I can think of is to change all track years to the release year of the album.
    I imagine this might be a bit of an edge case, and not something the majority of iTunes users would care about, but then again, I could imagine a fair number of musicphiles wanting control over this metadata.

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

    Hello
    I understand you are no longer able to print with the P1006 on Win8.1.
    Did you uninstall the P1006 first?
    If not uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    Both drivers are the same if you look at the version on the website and should still work with the Win8.1.

  • A65-S159 - I can't use the CD Recovery because my CD/DVD doesn't work properly

    Hi, I need help to reinstall the system and drives. It's a Satellite A65-S159. The CD/DVD doesn't work properly. Rarely, the CD/DVD can read a DVD. So I can't use the CD Recovery. What may I do?
    Thank you,
    Cabula, Brazil

    There are two ways to run the recovery DVD, one is from Windows.  Instead power ont he computer with the disk in the drive.  And imediatly after powering on start pressing the F12 key.  After a few seconds you should see a boot device menu that you can select the CD/DVD drive to boot from.  Try that and let us know if you got the boot menu, and if the disk worked.

  • ITunes genius mix doesn't work properly

    Hi everybody,
    On my late 2006 iMac with iTunes10 Genius Mix doesn't work properly.
    After having activated Genius iTunes generates a number of mixes with different music styles.
    When I scroll over the squares the play sign shows up, but only work for 1 of the 9 mixes when I click the play sign.
    Clicking on the other play signs in the other squares does not do anything.
    Does anybody know what is wrong here?
    Thanks!

    I now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
    Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way?
