First play runs twice

I am trying to make a DVD that plays titles then loops back to the beginning. I have my first video set as first play when the disk is inserted. The first play will run twice, then go into the loop on the second play. From there on out it behaves as instructed. Stopping the DVD and restarting it also behaves normally. I only see the repetition of the first play when I insert the disk.
I've gotten this same behavior on a PS3 and a Sony DVD player; two different disks on two different days. The Encore preview doesn't do this, my flowchart looks like it should.

I don't have any set, tho I just found one in the disk icon in the flowchart that was set to the first video as an override. I'm making another disk with that link broken.

Clip Distorted On First Play

Running Windows 7 on HP Laptop, using NetBeans 6.9.1 and JDK 1.6
I am loading 4 aif sound samples into 4 Clips and testing them using buttons in my UI - one button per clip, press the button, play the clip. The first time each clip plays, the sample is distorted and ugly. Each clip sounds perfect for subsequent plays. Anyone experience this type of thing before? I went through my code twice already without seeing anything unusual. I will start looking through it again but was hoping someone might save me a little aggravation.
Thanks.

Set the First Play for the first chapter (your opening clip) and set the End Jump for that chapter to the menu.

I have 4 DBMS scheduler jobs , which checks for a specific job status in DB and sends an email , when i started the schedule for the first week the jobs executed fine from next week I am getting two emails from each job , when i check the logs USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS I see only one run , which seems weird to me so i disabled one job and left the three jobs in schedule , next time i got two emails from 3 jobs and one from disabled job . After checking logs i see that there is no entry of the disabled job execution . I am not sure where is the problem i can't find any log from where the disabled job executing. Please help me

My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

Hello Friends,
I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
(I'm using windows 7)
Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
Thank You.

Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

First Play "Not Permitted" on Apple DVD player

I have some duplicated DVD-Rs of a project, and the client ha reported a disutrbing error. I've been told that on several different Macs running OS 10.2 - 10.4, not only does the disc not auto launch DVD player and not auto-play the first play menu, but when the user presses play on the floating control, they get a "Not Permitted" message. The user reported that they were able to choose "open Video_TS" and navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc, at which point they were able to get the disc to play.
The disc include a significant amount of content on the ROM sector of the disc, including an autorun and an .exe file for windows users. However, I can't see how the presence of these ROM files could interfere with the operation of DVD Player and the VIDEO_TS folder on the disc.
Furthermore, the duplication master for this disc has been formatted directly from DVD studio as a standrd DVD volume - no Toast burn, hybrid volume formatting, anything like that.
Upon inspection I discovered that my authoring assistant had specified a pre-script on the first play menu. I try never to use pre-scripts for anything, as I have found the way DVD studio handles them to be unreliable. However, I suspect this pre-script on the first play menu as the culprit in this problematic behavior, and have removed it.
The problem consists in that I did not experience this problem with any of the DVD-R checkdiscs I burned from DVD studio, unti the discs were duplicated. We'll be doing a full-scale replication run as the next step. Since I am not able to reproduce this problem on discs I burn here, I'd like find a way to know I have fixed the problem.
My question is, has anyone else ever encountered issues with their first-play menu throwing up this "not permitted" condition in Apple DVD Player? Has anyone ever found a connection between this issue and pre-scripts, or between this issue and any ROM files?
I suspect that DVD studio's pre-scripts are "simulated" or translated through the abstratction layer of DVD studio in a way that allows them to be outside the DVD spec, or perhaps there are other ways DVD studio might be using the pre-command on a menu, such as when you specify a button selection for a menu, that use the menu pre-command, and override the pre-script you might have spcified for the menu.

I've seen it on replicated masters when a dvd-r master was used and not all regions were selected as ok to play. DSP doesn't 'check' region 7 by default... its best to use a region all project and .img files, not VIDEO_TS builds to the HD.
How were the discs duplicated though? That is probably the cause of the problem, not the pre-Script. Maybe a 'Data' disc was burnt and not a DVD-Video type option...

Help! First Play Woes DVDSP4 confused non-newbie

I thank you if you are able to shed some light on this.
We have made many discs with a first play track, logos, legal etc. All work fine but our most recent project is not, for no reason we can see.
We have a 30sec video as the first play, before going to main menu, works fine on very first play but pressing stop twice on a DVD remote, then play again does not return to the first play but plays another track completely (the longest on the disc, if that is any clue) Ejecting the disc and re-playing works as it should. We have tried on many set tops with the same result, however on a Mac or PC with playback software it seems fine.
Here's what we have tried with no change in result, each new attempt had a completely fresh build and image:
- Disabled user control on first play track (this was the only difference between this and other discs we have made that work)
- Deleted offending (longest) track, removed assets from project, re-imported m2v and aif, made new track and connections
- Changed track order in project outline (a long shot!)
- Set global return to the first play track (and set individual returns)
- Imported 2sec black, set this as first play, then end jump to original intro
- Added 5x 2sec tracks cascading from start to intro in an attempt to displace the file location of the offending track and try to create same issue but with a different track appearing, still got the same (longest) track
- Deleted offending track, removed all traces from project, deleted assets from Finder and re-encoded fresh from FCP timeline
- Changed asset file names as 3 track assets including the first play and offending track shared 1st 5 characters the same, relinked assets
- Swapped menu button track targets again to displace offending track's position in the image, no change
Can anyone suggest what else we might try? What is making the DVD players think this is a special track and ignore the first play command?
Is it anything to do with the last ProApp or MacOS update?

Stop Stop will play Title 1 on the disc. Thats all there is to it.
In the Outline tab you need to be in the By VTS view (if you are using dvdsp 4) and not By Type. Click the little <-> (icon) in the top right of the Tab to toggle between views or drag the right side of the Tab to reveal both at the same time.
Whatever you want to play after the Stop Stop should be the Track in VTS 1. So this could be the Warning, a black bit of vid that jumps to a script, its upto you! The normal thing to do is to have Title 1 as the main show but its upto you as i said.
FWIW, often authors will disable all UOPs, even Stop, on the warnings & logos so users cant quickly press Stop Stop to skip all that stuff and begin watching the movie,

DocClose event runs twice after extending with user rights

I have created a form with several fields. To check if the fields are filled, I have placed several checks if the DocClose event. This creates a messagebox containing text of the missing fields. This will only popup when the pdf is closed. See below for a part of the Java-script.
var errmsg = ""
if (Form.Page1.CompanyName.rawValue == null)
{errmsg = errmsg + "CompanyName is not filled in";}
if (Form.Page1.CompanyStreet.rawValue == null)
{errmsg = errmsg + "\n";
errmsg = errmsg + "CompanyStreet is not filled in";}
if (errmsg !== "")
{xfa.host.messagebox (errmsg, "Please note!",1,0);}
else
This works just fine in Adobe Acrobat and in Adobe Reader. However,the user needs to be able to save a local copy. So, I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard to "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader". After this change, when this PDF is opened in the Reader or in Acrobat, the messagebox runs twice! The first time as it should, but the second time, it
I also noticed that the Script language of this part has changed from Java to mixed.
Thanks for any help!

Constructor in document class runs twice?

Hi Folks,
I'm working on my document class and the contructor is running twice, hence it is running almost all of my code twice. I'm not quite sure why this is the case. Any help is appreciated.
I've attached my code below.

   } else {
    trace("incorrect");
    e.target.x = startDragX;
    e.target.y = startDragY;

My bad. The order of output is:
RUNNING ONCE!
RUNNING TWICE?
The first trace is a static initializer, while the second is in the constructor.

Encore First Play Error

Hi all- I have been searching on this site about a First Play issue I am
having. I have 2 timelines (INTRO 1 and MAIN) and several menus in my project. I have INTRO 1 set to "first play" and linked the end action to the first menu, which then goes to the main timeline, or more menus..... the whole works plays perfect when I preview. The first play, menu, everything.....it works great.....
However, when I build the project, I get an error that states "internal software error at 29:21 in INTRO 1" . INTRO 1 timeline consists of a 29:21 second MPEG2-DVD file that I rendered out of After Effects. I have tried deleting this timeline and replacing it (and re-linking it) as well deleting the MPEG asset from the project and re-inserting it. Still same error. Maybe I need to install the latest patch for Encore? Or am I missing something? I haven't tried to override anything.....maybe i should insert the sequence directly into the timeline rather than the rendered MPEG file???
If I can't get this to work, I plan on making 2 Main Menus. One will be set to first play and have the INTRO sequence and the rest of the Main menu on the front end, and then I'll just set a loop point where I want the menu to repeat. after going into the rest of the menus, I'll link all their back buttons to the second "main" menu (the one without intro on the front). that way, after the first time the DVD is loaded, and the user starts to navigate the menus, the user won't have to sit through the INTRO again if they want to go back to the main menu. It makes sense in my head, but does anyone see any problems?
I hope i have been clear on all this!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
Dan Mortensen

Thanks Guys--
Yes, there is something about PCG error.....butafter some research and tests, it seems to be a format uncompatability thing.....(I'm running CS4 by the way)
I did play around with it a bunch last night. It seems that the problem lies with the .m2v file that is rendered out of After Effects. It's not playing nice with Encore. I tried removing all the sound out of the menus....then the difference in length should not matter. I still got the same error. So i deleted the assets alltogether...then i tried rendering my files out as MPEG 2's instead of MPEG2 DVD's. This time I got an error that there was an aspect ratio mismatch. So then i removed both video and sound from the menus---- And the project worked great!!! Ok, so now I went back and tried to render the movie parts as AVI files. I rendered one of the menus as an AVI and brought it in as an asset- linked it to the video, and linked the sound to the old sound .wav file, and wouldn't you know ---the project worked---(well, that menu worked perfect, the others were still blank of course, but the buttons were still there).... . So I made all the menu parts into .avi, and linked them, but when i checked the project, it gave me an error that the disk is not big enough.....Of course my .avi's were all uncompressed (about 5 gigs).....Do i need to figure out how to render a smaller .avi? I haven't been able to get AE to do that yet. Uncompressed seems to be my only option. Isn't there a way to pick what size file to make?? I'll have to look into that as I have not been able to figure out how to change the quality of .avi's.....
Maybe there is another file format that would work better? high quality .wmv???

Urgent-Calc needs to run twice for correct result.

Hi There,
I have a hierarchy in account like this
Account
Account1 dynamic calc
     Account11 never share
          Account13 never share
Account2     dynamic calc
Account21 never share
Balance
In another hierarchy inside account I have following member
Total
And I am using following calculation
Fix(dim1,dim2,dim3)
Balance= total-@sum(@sibling(balance));
@idescendants(“entity1”)
Endfix
The aggregation is not happening for the first time and but it is happened the next time I am running the calculation .Can you make out whatever I am missing in this calc so that it needs to run twice for aggregation to happen?
Thanks

Hi rodrigo
I have tried using the calculation in two different fix but still it is taking two runs to give the correct result .
I found the problem is with one account it is not correctly generated after i run the rule once account1=account2-@Sum(@sibling(account1));
after second the run the value is coming correct .I am not able to figure out.what is ahppening.
any idea??
Thanks

CRS 2008 Scheduled Report Runs Twice

All,
I have been using CRS 2008 for about 6 months now and have had scheduled reports running since the beginning. Last month I created new schedules for each report and deleted the old schedule. However, although the old schedule no longer shows in the History tab, it appears to still be running. As of right now, I have only one schedule per report, however, each report gets processed and saved out twice. This did not start happening until I created new schedules and deleted the old ones.
Is there something else I have to do (or can do) in order to completely remove the old schedules or fix the new ones if that happens to be the issue?
Thanks,
Tom

Fritz,
Each report (of which there are 9 at this point), is set up in the following manner:
1. Scheduled to run once a day (times staggered by 5 minutes for each starting at 12:15am)
2. 6 are delivered to a folder on the network, 3 are delivered via email
3. All have the same naming structure: InstanceTitle_DateTime.FileExt
4. Each are formated as PDF
Originally, the six that are delievered to a network folder were also delivered via email as well. This issue only started happening after I deleted those email deliveries. Also, the 3 that are still delivered via email and have never been modified after first being set up are now being run twice as well.
After looking in the network folder this morning, it appears that only four of the six were run twice last night, while all six were run twice for the two nights before that.
This is very frustrating since I have already deleted and started from scratch and still have this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Encore CS3 First Play and End Action problems

I have one menu, one timeline. I'm trying to have the DVD start with the menu for about 2 minutes, the length of the audio asset linked to, then start the first chapter of the timeline. No overrides used in the project.
First Play of the disc: set to the default menu.
End action of the menu: set to first chapter of timeline.
Menu-motion: Audio linked to an audio asset, duration about 2 minutes.
In Encore DVD 2.0 this was trivial and worked. Not in CS3!
Most of the time it loops the menu indefinitely. Sometimes it will loop twice, then start the chapter.
Preview from the menu works. Preview from the disc doesn't, nor the final DVD burn. I've seen this was discussed here before, I just can't find the topic.
Any fixes?
Thanks

Johnathan,
Tell us more about your Assets on this Play First Timeline. What are the files, format, Duration, etc.? Is this file muxed, or elemental streams? The greater the detail, the better.
I have not seen the behavior that you observe, hence my questions.

Encore CS6 First Play problem

Long-time Adobe user with CS6 Master Collection. Not come across this one before, though.
Simple Encore project using 3 PPro sequences via Dynamic Link.
Set up so a 20 sec video plays automatically then drops into a static menu offering choice of two timelines.
All tests OK, previews in Encore OK, and builds OK.
HOWEVER, the resulting DVD skips the intro video and starts with the menu, despite the intro video being set as First Play and testing OK inside Encore.
I've built the project from scratch twice now with the same result.
Any hints as to cause and cure?

OK. I eventually tracked it down.
Before adding the intro element, I started with the menu. When I added the intro movie, all looked good on the flowchart and it played OK in Encore, but, as I explained initially, when burned to DVD playback started with the old menu, not the new first play.
I tried deleting Encores preferences (start with SHIFT+CONTROL) to no effect.
I tried adding STOP at the end of menus, to no effect.
I also tried a variety of other first play items, but the DVD always started with the non-first-play menu.
Eventually I looked at the project properties and found that the title button and main timeline were still pointing at the original first-play menu item, not the one currently selected. Changing the main timeline had no effect, but changing the Title Button to the new first-play timeline finally solved my problem.
It seems possible that there is an issue with updating all relevant items in Encore CS6 (Windows, fully updated) when changing first play. Or am I missing something that makes it my fault here?

Prevent Jobs Running Twice at the same time

Hi all, I would like to know if they are any ways to prevent a release job to run twice at the same time. For exemple, if I create a job to run every 5 minutes and the job did not finish after 5 minutes, the scheduler will start the same job agains. This situation causing us bad issues.
I double check the job start conditions in sm37 but I found nothing special.
Thanks for help

Hi Marc,
We use a workaround. We have asked our abap developpers to write a small utility report which checks if the job it is part of is already running and aborts the job if it is the case.
When we need a job which must absolutely run only once at the same time, we just add this utility as first step.
Regards,
Olivier

ECATT: ME21N fails if run twice

Hello All
I have recorded ME21N using SAPGUI. When the same script is called twice in another script using REF command, the first ME21N is running successfully and the second ME21N fails as soon as the ME21N screen displayed.
but if I comment the first ME21N run, the second runs fine. Please help me in finding the problem.
Thanks
Tharani.

Hello Tharani,
If the ResetGUI contains 'X' then the transaction specified in ProcessedScreen[1] will execute as if its new one. It is similar to executing any transaction using /n in SAP directly.
It is necessary in SAPGUI mode that the next transaction should start execution from the same point where the last transaction stopped.
If recorded in sections, it is good to set the ResetGUI as 'X' for the first SAPGUI transaction followed by each change of transaction. This ensures the success of replay of chain of transactions in SAPGUI.
Regards
