How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.
You need to understand these two help pages:
Adobe Encore * Menu timing and looping
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/encore/cs/using/WSF49EA5DB-3743-49c2-9831-F66328B192F8.html

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/encore/cs/using/WSA5513911-0AD1-440c-BDAD-2E0E806B425E.html
I'm not sure what you mean by "interactive" unless you just mean creating navigation.

Question about external HD DVD (Blue Ray) players with Tecra M5

I have a TECRA M5 laptop (running XP) although this question could be relevant to other laptop users with no internal HD DVD players.
Is there an external (e.g. USB) HD DVD that I could connect to my laptop? So to watch HD movies on my laptop?
If such a thing exists would it also plug directly to a HD TV (as my laptop has no HDMI)?
Is there any way I could swap my existing internal DVD for a HD one?

Oh man,
I will show you why you _shouldnt_ think about buying an external drive for your machine.
1. Yes, there are PLENTY of external HD DVD drives, mostly of them are connected trough USB
2. You could plug it in your notebook, yes, and probably you could play HD DVD movies on your machine but NOT in HD since your display only supports a maximum resolution of 1024x768 pixels, but HD movies need at least a resolution of 1280x720. Any sufficiently fast computer with a 1280x720 or higher resolution display is capable of displaying HD video, even though computers are generally not advertised as such.
3. No, you cannot plug it directly into a HD TV, I mean why dont you buy then a HD DVD player???
4. Yes you could, but are you familiar enough with computers systems to exchange a drive which is built in your machine?? If you really would spend the money for the drive you should ask then spend some extra money for an technician. ;)
Cheers

How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
Thank you in advance.

You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.

HP DVDWBD TS-LB23L stopped detecting DVD/BLU-RAY

Laptop info:
HP Pavillion dv8-1190eo (5 months old)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
In the middle of watching a DVD movie, the player stopped working. The movie "froze", didn't start on its own, so I removed the DVD from the tray to check for scratches and dirt on the DVD (and found none but even cleaned it anyway). This was the last time the DVD/Blu Ray player worked. It has been possible to play a single audio CD but other than this, the device does not even detect that any CD/DVD/BLU RAY is in the tray. I have tried with approximately 12 different DVD's, including DVD's that it has played flawlessly before, including brand new DVDs and brandnew writeable DVDs.
What happens on loading a disc in the tray is:
1. it makes a sounds as if attempting to read the disc
2. the small disc icon appears briefly next to the curser
but nothing more. When checking START --> COMPUTER it shows the Blu-ray Disc-ROM-drive but it doesn't show that any disc is in the tray. When double clicking the drive, the tray opens with an "insert disc" message.
With the aid of HP Phone Support over the phone, we have checked the registry to see if there were any conflicts (e.g. iTunes and similar). Everything was ok.
Then we restored to an earlier point where the devise was working but to no avail.
Then we downloaded the driver from HP's site and installed it, but to no avail. Upon a second attempt of installing the driver, we received an error message: "This software is for Windows Vista, Windows Vista WMC, Windows 7, Windows 7 WMC". According to HP Phone Support it is indeed the correct file for Windows 7 64 bit.
I have also tried running HP Support Assistant to trouble shoot, but this is not working as it asks that I load a writeable disc to perform the test. It does not detect the writeable disc I put into the tray, so I cannot perform this test.
According to device manager, the device is working properly.
HP Phone Support's suggestion is that I make a complete restore. This means taking full backup of all data (which I should do anyway), restore, and then install everything I have on my computer again. I am not happy to do this as it is quite a bit
of time consuming work. The other option is to let HP Support pick up the laptop and send it for repair and be without the computer for a minimum of 10 work days (which would easily be 3 weeks or more) which is not really an option for me.
I can see from these forums that I am not the only one experiencing problems with the DVDWBD TS-LB23L, although HP Phone Support refuses that this is a "known issue".
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your fast reply.
It is indeed HP warranty support that I have spoken with in length yesterday, and more briefly today. They give me the options between complete restore which they will guide me through over the phone (as stated above, this is a quite time consuming procedure with full backup, restore, then reinstall of all software, then backup copied back to laptop), or alternatively, to pick up the laptop and send it to repair which means I would be without computer for at least 2 weeks, but most likely 3 weeks or more - this is not an option to me as I don't have a spare computer, and there are obligations which I can't meet without a working computer at home.

No you cannot.
You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer. You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.” I ordered the InDesign CC today. Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects! Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL! Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm) in Photoshop Elements 12?

How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm)? I would like for it to be easy so I can fold the finished product and the front cover, spine, and back cover will all be in the correct space when inserted into the DVD holder. I know there is a "create DVD cover" option in Photoshop Elements 12, and I've tried that, however the dimensions never come out correctly. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Apple no longer sells iDvd. You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.

In anticipating upgrading to Premiere Elements 13, I need to know what "gotchas" there might be in loading project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

Particularly, can I load project files from version 10 (in case someone needs another DVD/Blu-Ray)

What computer operating system is involved?
There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version can be opened in a later one. Many times it can, but...
If you do try this, then please consider working from a copy of the project 10 project file and then trying to open that in 13/13.1.
Reason: projects created in an earlier version and then opened and edited in a later version cannot be opened again in the
earlier version.
And, there is always the issue of maintaining the connect of the source media with the project file. Is this move from 10 to 13/13.1
happening on the same computer and are the source media in the same place where they were when they were first imported
into the 10 project. Disc menus consideration may enter into this depending on your details.

How do I make a DVD of my slide show

Made a slide show, exported it to iTunes where it now resides in "home movies" as a video. How can I make a DVD of my slide show?

If you right click on the movie in iTunes and choose "Show in Finder" you can then drag and drop the movie into the theme of your choice in iDVD. More information on iDVD here: http://www.apple.com/support/idvd/
