How to Create a DVD With No Menu?

hi there.
i've had DVD Studio Pro for a while and never used it.
would it be to hard to give me a step-by-step guidance on how to create a DVD from a QuickTime file in DVD Studio Pro (initially, in the form of a VIDEO_TS folder or IMG file) with no menus at all, so that it's played straight away once inserted into a stand-alone DVD player?
anyone, please?

If you are starting in SD and can use compressor, that works better: there are more knobs to twist to adjust the results to your liking. Going from HD to SD, I think compressor or a third party encoder is a must. Just too many things to tweek to get it right for the video you shot.
AC3 has another advantage in addition to file size: bit rate. There is a limit on what DVD players will handle - usually less than 10mb/s. And if you can have video + audio well under that, you disc will be compatible with more players. If can always put both on the DVD, and use a menu to let a user pick one, but you don't want menus yet, as you said. Many music DVDs do just that: PCM for best fidelity (it is noticeable on a really high end system that most mortals don't have), or DD, even 5.1 for everyone else.
Encoding: I use 7.5mb/s max for video, and adjust the "average" depending on how big my video is; I've used as low as 4.2 for stage plays and it was not too bad. If you have a short video, you might use CBR (contstant bit rate) at 7.5 for the best quality. I likewise adjust my AC3 bit rate; 192 stereo where I must save space and the original sound quality was not great anyway, up to whatever the max is (384, I think).

How do i create a dvd with no menu in dvd sp?

i want to make dvds of a short film (just over 10mins) and have them autostart when placed in a dvd player or do nothing until somebody presses play and then it just starts. no menus or anything.
how do i do this in dvd studio pro?

To make a DVD with no menu that simply plays the moment you pop the DVD in, use this method:
- in DVD SP select the DVD Project in the "Outline Tab". (located above the menus folder)
- in the "Connections Tab", drag your completed Track onto the "First Play" target (located at the very top)
Notice the Target changes from "Menu 1" to "Track 1" (or the name you have given the track)
This will bypass the menu and go right to your track.
Hope that helps,

How do i burn dvd with no menu - just play?

hello,
I need to burn a dvd with no menu, so that when it plays, it goes straight to movie...
thanks,
steve

Steve - import your asset into DVDSP so that it appears in the assets tab. When imported (and the button shows green), drag the footage into the time line. This sets the footage into 'track 1'.
If you look in the outline view you will see Menu1 and Track 1 listed. menu 1 is the default choice for 'First Play' - if you now click on the disc icon at the top of the outline view then look in the property inspector you will find another way of setting 'First Play' - simply use the option to select the track instead.
If you control+click on the track icon in the outline view (or in the graphical view for DVDSP 3+) you get the option to set First Play there too - simply select the words at the top of the contextual menu.

How do I create a DVD with no menu ??

Can I create a DVD that plays like a CD, using track numbers instead of a on-screen menu? I have several QT files, and I'd like to be able to jump between them using the buttons directly on the (commercial) DVD player... with no messing about in a DVD menu. The DVD is for a projection during a theatrical performance, and I don't want there to be a menu flashing up on the screen. Many thanks!

Welcome to the forums.
Most inquiries relate to autostarting the DVD or not having a theme -- perhaps you'll be stuck with those options. But you might first want to create a short test DVD, but join the QT files with a couple seconds of black between the "tracks" and put chapters at the beginning of each track. That will let you jump from one track to another without going to any menu and it gives you a little time at the end of a track to manipulate the controls. What you can experiment with is whether your remote will allow you to jump to a non-sequential track (if you press #4, does it jump to chapter 4?).
In DVD Studio Pro, you can program the desired action to specific buttons, so I assume you could do what you want.
Another thought, iDVD does (used to?) support scripting so that might be something to investigate. See this link for some resources:
http://search.oreilly.com/?q=applescript
And finally, a non-tech solution: use two DVD players and have the other one set to play the next video and use a switch to go between the two outputs (or switch between inputs on the projector).

How to create a DVD with 2 separate movies?

I'm a coach - and as I break down game film for my team, I'd like to distribute a single DVD with an Offensive film and a Defensive film, on a single DVD. Once I edit the original clips, I usually have about 20 minutes of offense, and 25 minutes of defense. Is it possible to open a DVD menu, in PE and just drag/drop my two films into the menu? I've already made the separate films - just can't find a way to put them on the same DVD - with separate launch buttons.
Please advise - thanks.
Coach B.

Coach B
In Premiere Elements, it is the placement of the menu markers at the Timeline level in Edit that is going to be the important first step. There placement at the Timeline level will determine how they are represented (linked to) the buttons in the menu(s). The menu markers for this are going to be main menu markers and stop markers as per details.
1. Setting up the Timeline.
Place a main menu marker at the start of the first file of Offense Section.
Place a stop marker at the end of the last file of Offense Section.
Leave a few frames gap between the end of the Offense and the start of the Defense.
(You cannot sit one marker on top of another)
Place a main menu marker at the start of the first file of Defense Section.
DO NOT place a stop marker at the end of the last file of Defense Section.
2. As shown in the blog post to which I referred you for background information, there are two types of buttons we could use for Offense button and Defense button on the main menu. Let us start with using just the thumbnail type button.
For now we will be assuming the end product as DVD-VIDEO Standard (4:3) on DVD disc.We will use the Sports/(AV)Extreme theme and do some file switching.
a. You need to get copies of the following files from the Program Data
sportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd
sportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd
They are copied at their saved located
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
Online
DVD Templates
All_Lang
Sports
and in the Sports Folder are those two files cited above which you copy and paste to an empty folder that you created on the computer desktop.
b. Switch the file names so that the main menu has the scene menu design and vice versa. And, modify the names so that you do not mix up these modified files with anything else.
So, you want to end up with a folder name mysportchannel on the computer desktop
and in that folder are the two files who names you switched and changed.
sportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd is changed to mysportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd
and
sportchannel_pal_s_mm.psd is changed to mysportchannel_pal_s_sm.psd
Take the desktop mysportchannel folder with these modified files and place it in the following spot in the following path...
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
DVD Templates
Common
and in the Common Folder place the mysportchannel folder.
When you go to select this theme in the Movie Menu customization of the opened project, look under the Slideshow catagory.
You should be looking at something like this in the Movie Menu customization area
Lots ot fine tuning yet to be done, detail wise.
1. Is your end product, DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9.
2. Do you want the music background that comes with the original main menu?
3. Do you want a Play All opportunity? This one allows for pick one or the other then return to the
main menu.
Please review the above. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
Thanks.

HOW TO CREATE VIDEO DVD WITH ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER

I AM NEW TO ADOBE PREMIERE. AFTER SOME HOURS OF LEARNING FINALLY I FINISHED EDITING 30 MIN OF VIDEO. NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO OUTPUT TO DVD ( VIDEO DVD ) TO PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS. PLS HELP.

Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there

How to create a DVD with multiple video projects

I want to burn a DVD with several short video projects so that it will run without stopping in between.

Hi
*Play all resp one chapter at a time*
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
• Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

Urgent Please. DVD With No Menu.

hi guys.
a client of mine asks for a DVD with their video on it without ANY menus at all, so that it plays straight away when inserted into a standard DVD player and doesn't show ANY menus.
please tell me how to create a DVD with no menus in iDVD.
this is urgent.
cheers.

How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

Making a self starting DVD with no menu

Is there any way of creating a DVD with NO menu in iDVD? Dragging the video file to the top level drop box in map mode creates a self start but then a menu appears when playing finishes.

The DVD has to have some place to go when it completes playing your movie. If you don't want to see a menu, loop your movie. You will then need to use your remote to quit the DVD.
Here is slightly different approach that I use: http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/AutostartDVD/autostart.htm

How can I create a dvd with NO theme?

I'd like to create a DVD that shows an image of my choice when inserted in player, with one play button start movie. All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.

Hi
Easy is to put movie into AutoPlay box in organizing view in iDVD window (top left most box)
But this ends in a menu - This can be a black photo to simulate No Menu
All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.
No - and especially the old ones. AND by using the mid round button under the iDVD menu window (the one with two semi-circular arrows) You turn off Animation - I always do !

Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.

How create 1 dvd with 2 file

how create 1 dvd with 2 file

As you probably know, DVD creation in Compressor and FCPX is very limited – and it only accommodates single tracks.
But there is no reason why you can't put multiple movies on a single timeline in FCP. Separate them with inserted gaps and add chapter markers to provide some level of navigation among them.
Good luck.

How to create a DVD.

Hi all.
I've imported a 1980x1080 25p video.
Now I'm working on a project with iMovie 11To then export to Compressor 4.
What are the settings to create a DVD with good quality compatibbile dvd home?
And 'possible to have a step by step guide to get it right?
Thank you.

If you want to create and burn this DVD in Compressor, please understand going in that you'll only have a very basic menu. If you need more, then use iDVD (if you have it) or Roxio Toast. If you do use iDVD, ther's probably no need to use Compressor.
I would recommend you export a Quick Time movie in the Pro Res 422 codec from iMovie. Other formats are acceptable, but I think PR is more reliable.
As to quality, Compressor can do a decent job if you just use the Create DVD preset from the Batch Template. It will, however, be standard def, since that is what DVD is. Compressor will automatically re-size it to 720X480 anamorphic. If you open up the Preview window, you can set chapter markers.
Insert a disk into your drive and you should be good to go.
Good luck.

As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition
