How do you get a movie to play without a menu

I've installed ilife 09 and it now says I'm using version 7.0.4 of IDVD. I've used version 6 for years, so much is new. However, I already created a fairly complex DVD in this version with my own background menu, buttoms, chapters, etc. That was in regular 4x3 format. It seemed pretty self-explanatory. I'm now trying to make a DVD that is 16x9 from a final cut pro file. I don't want any menu, just want the movie to play when it is inserted. I drag my movie to the "drag content here to play automatically" spot and I still get a menu. This should be pretty simple...right? What am I doing wrong?

Don't you see 'Old Themes' as a theme choice?
I prepared the procedure back in iDVD 6 days and I just noticed that how you do some of those things have changed in the latest version. With iDVD 7.x you now need to bring up the Menu Info window (the 'i' button at the bottom left). You need to also deselect the 'Show drop zones and associated graphics' box in that window.
Note that you don't have to put any text in the DVD name or movie name fields.
I'll try to update my procedure in the next couple of days.
The easiest thing to do is simply have your autostart movie loop.

  • How do you get a movie to play that you bought on itunes?

    specifically I bought this movie a while ago but the only thing im getting is a black screen when i attmept to load it. help me please! its full screen but nothing is playing; it was purchased.

    Do you have an Apple TV or Airport Express?  Some people have had similar issues due to Airplay.
    Suggestion from another user (ChargedNeuron):
    "To resolve the glitch we had iTunes select an external speaker, in this case my AppleTV. Next, I played a purchased video. and the picture restored. The tech and I figured that somehow the computer was attempting to send the video somewhere else via Airplay, much like an iPad would, and to restore the video we needed to reset the destination of the video.

    Works just fine for me (Safari 3.1 and 10.5.2).
    If you're using Safari you may need to use the keyboard shortcut Command-R to "refresh" the download.

  • How do you get the sound to play on the tv from your macbook

    I connected my macbook to my tv using a HDMI cord. I'm trying to watch netflix but the sound plays from my macbook. How do you get the music to play from the tv instead.

    The adapter to HDMI doesn't carry sound from a MacBook earlier than the Mid 2010 models and most TVs don't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI inputs since they expect the sound to be carried by the HDMI plug. With HDMI you'll need to use external speakers or headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • How do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on?

    how do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on itunes?

    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If it's a Mac, try Senuti or Music Rescue.

    How do I get a movie to play right away on my iPad while it's downloading

    I have this same problem.  On the photo tab I used to have it checked for everything to sync.  But it gets stuck on syncing the photos and doesnt complete.  The events on my Mac stopped syncing to other devices as soon as I got a new ipad air.  The events that were on iphoto at that time are the last to show on all other devices.  When I am in photo tab i cant even select the events that havent synced because they are showing as a choice.  But they are an event in iphoto on the Mac.  Frustrated.

  • How do you get the files to play continuously?

    How do you get the files to play continuously? I created multiple slide shows in IPHOTO. I added them to IDVD and I cannot get them to play one right after another. Instead it goes to the main menu after each slide show.

    Did you add them all at the same time into the slideshow area?
    First, click on the + sign on iDVD's main menu, then select 'Add slideshow' and put all of them into the drop area. Now they will play continuously.
    Here is a visual image from Old Toad that shows multiple videos in the slideshow drop so they will play one after the other, but it is the same for your slideshows:

  • How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen

    How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen when you want to isolate tagged photos?????????????
    it takes up 1/4 of the screen. This is so stupid. PSE10 had it done right, just a click box and boom all the photos tagged would be there!
    This makes NO sense the way it is done now.
    How do you turn it off, please . I am ready to send this back to amazon and go back to 10.

  • How do you get Netflix movies on Apple TV 2?

    Folks:
    Apple says in the very first sentence on the very first page of the first chapter of their of their Apple TV 2 "Setup Guide" that you can watch streaming content from Netflix and then NEVER MENTIONS NETFLIX AGAIN!  How disingenuous is that?!?  I tried at the iTunes Store and they'll sell you aps but they won't help you actually stream movies from Netflix. 
    Now I could go to Apple Support except that I received my Apple TV 2 as a present and so I don't have the purchase date (it is after the 90 days anyway even though I haven't hooked it up yet) so they just keep sending me into a never-ending FU loop.  Right now I'm so angry that I don't think that I will ever buy another Apple product again.  gonna be tough though since I have an iMac, an Airbook, an iPhone 4, an iPhone 3GS, two iPods, and TWO Airport Extremes... So here I am trying to see if you folks can help me out. 
    I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to get me a URL where someone has dealt with this issue and I'll take it from there. 
    Thanks in advance,
    mnilan

    I don't have tv firmware update under the settings menu and I have been to the set manual I have tried youtube and I can't find the solution anywhere. Surely there must be some way to add things like netflix or lovefilm on this.
    Okay, lets start at the beginning...
    After setting up the TV device and turning on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer, do you see an opening screen something like this on your HDTV?
    If so, you should be able to see a portion of the Netflix app peeking in at the bottom of your HDTV screen which you should be able to select as seen here...
    If you don't, then the next thing to do is to go to the "Settings" menu and select the "General" option as seen here.
    At this point you can select the "About" option to check to see what version of IOS is installed on your devices. I.e., you probably want the latest software versions available/compatible for both iTunes and your TV device. Here is what I am currently running on my entertainment system device...
    If the software is not up to data and you have not automatically received notification of the availability of newer software, then you can go back to the "General" memu as depicted above and select the "Update Software" option to manually check for a firmware (non-volatile software) update which may fix your problem. If this does not fix your problem, I would next try forcing a cold reboot by using the "General > Restart" menu option or simply unplugging and re-plugging in the device.
    If this doesn't help, the next step would be to go to the "General > Reset" menu option located just above the "Restart" option as depicted above. Opening this option will give you access to both the "Reset" and "Restore" options which are usually your points of last resort before returning the device to an Apple store or tech support facility for hardware testing. (Of the five units I currently own, one did actually fail between the watching of two movies an was replaced by the local Apple store after confirming a hardware problem instore—so this remains a possibility here for your purchase.
    Hope this may help...

  • How do you get your Ipod to play on your Creative Gigiworks S750?

    I have an Ipod and I was wondering how you get it to play off of your speakers?

    tuggy,
    Just as ronin_sx has mention, the M-Port only works with M-Port compatible player such as the Creative Nomad Muvo NX MP3 player so ipod won't work.
