How do I set the dvd up to play 4 slideshows automatically?

I have 4 slideshows, each with music.  I would like to play them in order and automatically start the next slideshow.  Can that be done in iDVD?

You can't with iDVD.  You can create the slideshow in iMovie and string all four together to play at one time and then add it to iDVD via the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and selecting the Large size.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How do I set the DVD region code via ARD?

    We recently deployed around 200 MacBooks in a k12 environment and manage them via ARD & WGM. We forgot to set the DVD region when creating our master image and as a result, every single MacBook prompts for an admin password when attempting to use the DVD Player to view a DVD for the first time.
    Instead of attending to each of the 200+ MacBooks personally and putting a DVD in and setting the region code one by one, is there a way I could do this via ARD? Unix command? Managed preference via WGM? Thanks, I appreciate any input.

    I've been working on this very topic for about a year. Here's what you need to know.
    1) setting the region code on your master image would result in the same behavior. Setting the region code triggers an update to the DVD drive firmware itself - it's not something that's stored in software. Obviously this is something that needs to be set on each machine individually. Setting it on the image won't affect the imaged-machines.
    2) Apple seems to have gone to great lengths to hide the app that triggers this action. If they had provided a simple CLI interface to trigger this on a client machine we'd be able to use ARD to trigger the action on all of our client machines. Alas, this app is buried somewhere I can't find and seems to only rear its head when a DVD with a region code is inserted into the drive. There is one idea that popped into my head while at Macworld that I want to try to see if I can find this app but I have my doubts.
    3) Failing my last ditch effort to find this app, I think our fallback will be to give users explicit rights to set the initial DVD region code on thier machines. This is something that can be done using WGM. There is a rule in /etc/authorication specifically allowing users/groups to set the region code for the first time. According to the notes, giving this access will NOT allow users to change the region code - which is a good thing - but only give them rights to do so the initial time. This way, we can empower our users to help themselves while also protecting them from resetting the region code accidentally.
    In conclusion, I haven't found any way to script/push this command to a client machine. I'll definitely file this with Bug Reporter and hope Apple will give us a CLI or an ARD command to trigger this action after imaging.

  • How would I set the LabVIEW Execution Display.vi to automatically run a sequence from a desktop icon or the Start Menu Launcher.vi

    LabVIEW does not support command line arguments. Are there some modifications to the Execution Display.vi that would enable this behavior?

    Hi,
    This mods is to the LabVIEW OI supplied with TS2.0.1 and labVIEW 6.1
    In the TestStand - Runtime Operator Interface.vi, the cmdline is obtained and the full path to the sequence file is stored in a global variable. When the Sequence Display is launched and the case First Time is executed. The cmd line global is checked for an empty string, if its not then the string is concatated with the string 'Open Sequence File - No Prompt|' and put on the message queue. This will result in the sequence file being opened.
    The cmd line parsing is pretty basic. the argument is nothing or the full pathname to the sequence file.
    If this is what you are after then send your email to [email protected]
    I tried to attach the vi's but I am having some problems with thi
    s. Probably a size restriction.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

    How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door.  Am I missing something?  Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk?  Please help. Thanks. 
    Solved!

    hi penguin247,
    Regarding your questions:
    1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
    Link to picture
    2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

  • How do you set the burn rate?

    I have been told that best results are attained when DVDs are burned at a slow rate, such as 4X. I have no idea of the rate of my burns, and I 'm wondering how I can set the rate at 4X. Is the burn rate manipulated thru DVD Studio Pro, or is it simply determined by the balnk media you insert? For example: does an 8X disc automatically burn at 8X, and a 4X disc automatically burn at 4X?
    Thanks, Bob

    The burn rate cannot be higher than what the drive is rated for, or the speed the disc is rated for, whichever is lower. So if you have a 2x burner (most likely considering the age of your computer), then that is the maximum speed you can burn at regardless of the speed of the disc media (which could be 16x).
    Toast is software. So you would not use it "instead of" your Pioneer burner. You would use it with your Pioneer burner.

    Ask the store for a local Macintosh Users Group / Club... maybe someone there can help you. You might check pawn shops in the area for a machine that has a full set of disks. Apple will sell/mail you a set. I don't know of anyplace to legitimately download them... For what its worth any commercial (e.g. full retail version) install of OS X on disk should work for your machine.

  • HT1904 how do i set the administrators code & password?

    How do i set the administrators code & password?

    I got a prompt when I had inserted the DVD which needed region change. But not now when I put in any other DVD. Some work, some don't. Is it not true that when changing the fourth time, the machine gives some indication that the next time will be the last? I thought so, whcih is why I am wondering, why it is not prompting or warning me.

  • How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

    How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
    Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting? 
    I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
    Thanks,

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
    Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
    As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
    If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
    Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
    And, remember, at the onset I wrote
    As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
    I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
    issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
    I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
    I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

    Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

  • 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!

  • How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

    Hi Guys -
    Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
    Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
    On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
    Your help is appreciated!
    Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.

    Hey Rich.  Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section.   You don't have that?

  • How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
    it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
    In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
    can some one give me some help ?
    Thanks ,

    See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
    It says
    One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,
    Asaf Privman.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:
