How to lift a segment of a song for iDVD menu

how to lift a segment of a song for iDVD menu
I do not want to lop off the end-- I want to lift a middle segment of a piece of music and loop it on the menu page for iDVD
Help?

Try adjusting the start and end point in iTunes Info window for that particular track:
However, before committing to a disk burn save it as a Disk Image and play it with DVD Player to make sure the edit in iTunes was carried out in the final product. It doesn't in some instances.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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 prepare a FCP Quicktime movie for iDVD?

Hi out there, can someone please explaine in detail what I have to do to a FCP Quicktime movie to prepare it for iDVD. Its 12 minutes long and 4.8GB. I tried putting it as is into iDVD and burning a DVD and the quality was bad. Do I have to put it through Compressor? Or, should I make a different kind of Quicktime movie?

Compressor is a program and you want to use it to convert your movie into an mpeg file and an ac3 file. 2 files to drop into your DVD program. Now, I haven't used iDVD so i don't know what it's asking for but. DVDSP is really easy to use if you just wan tto make a DVD without a menu. this requires an mpeg2 file and ac3. this you can make in compressor. in FCP have your timeline with your sequence in it active. FILE>EXPORT>USING COMPRESSOR. in compressor you can use the DVD 90 minute setting to make these two files. you have to check the manual cause it's different on how to do this with diff versions.
once you have your files drop them in DVD SP asset box then drag them in the timeline. delete the menue blue box right click the green track box, select 'first play' build/burn button at the top and you're on your way.
sorry if this seems confusing, but dvd technology is funky. idvd is great for making easy template menus but if you want to just make a playable dvd wihtout menus, DVD SP is the way to go.

How to add event handling for a menu?

hi,
I have created a menu and few mneu items.
for eachmenu itme , i did event handling and it is workign fine.
it was like this
menuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit",KeyEvent.VK_X);
menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, ActionEvent.ALT_MASK));
menuItem.addActionListener(this);
menu.add(menuItem);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
JMenuItem source = (JMenuItem)(e.getSource());
String s = "Action event detected. Event source: " + source.getText();
System.out.println(s);
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
JMenuItem source = (JMenuItem)(e.getSource());
String s = "Item event detected. Event source: " + source.getText();
System.out.println(s);
now int he second menu i don't have any menu item and i want to do the event handling for the menu itself. any ideas how to do it. following is the code for the menu
//Build the second menu.
menu2 = new JMenu("Options");
menu2.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
menuBar.add(menu2);
menu2.addActionListener(this);     //this does nto work

You were on the right track. However, selecting a menu is different from selecting a menu item. MenuItem chucks an ActionEvent and Menu will send an ItemEvent.
If you pile all action output to one actionPerformed method then be careful of your assumptions on what the source type will be. If by any chance the Menu has sent an ActinoEvent then your code will have caused a ClassCastException.

public class MenuTest implements ActionListener, ItemListener {
    JMenuItem menuItem;
    JMenu menu1, menu2;

    JFrame frame;
    public MenuTest() {
        frame = new JFrame("MenuTest");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        menubar = new JMenuBar();
        frame.setJMenuBar(menubar);
        menu1 = new JMenu("File");
        menu1.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_F);
        menuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit",KeyEvent.VK_X);
        menuItem.setAccelerator(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, ActionEvent.ALT_MASK));
        menuItem.addActionListener(this);
        menu1.addItemListener(this);
        menu1.add(menuItem);
        menubar.add(menu1);
        //Build the second menu.
        menu2 = new JMenu("Options");
        menu2.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
        menu2.addActionListener(this); //this does not work
        menu2.addItemListener(this); // use this instead
        menubar.add(menu2);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,100));
        frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
        frame.pack();
        frame.show();
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        String s = "Action event detected. Event source: " + e.getSource();

How do I get more than one song with a backing track in a concert?

Hi,I confess I haven't yet looked in depth at the manual but I cant work out why there is only one song available at any one time within a concert.
I am trying to put a set of songs together,some with backing tracks,some with just a piano and vox and some with guitar and vox.
Is there a quick answer to this?
Cheers.

Hi
Not sure about how quick, but...
Create Patches for each song with the necessary Playback Channels at Patch level (this will allow you to only use 1 MS patch within each "Song"
or

How do you select an amount of songs at one time

How do you select an amount of songs at one time because i need to change my Mp3 tags ( the bands name soo its all the same) =]Help?
Windows XP

in order for this to work all the songs you want to change have to be right next to eachother in a list, one after the other.
Select the first song you want to change. (it will be hilighted in blue)
Hold down the shift key
without letting up the shift key click the last song you wish to change. (any songs betwwen these to songs are now blue also)
right click the blue patch of screen and click "get info"
edit the feilds you wish to change, and click ok.

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5

How do you stop downloading itunes match songs to iphone 5?
Cell data is turned off but it is still downloading.

When you initially enable iTunes Match on any iDevice it is wise to let it operate for a good period docked or with good WiFi.
Best route to stop it if essential is to switch off iTunes Match.

How do I use more than 1 song in a slideshow

Now that iPhoto is back and running, thanks to Terence Devlin, how do I put more than one song to a slide show? So far, I can only figure out how to put one in (from iTunes). Ideally, I would like to phase out in the middle of one song and splice into another...I know the answer is out there Thanks

You can choose a playlist, rather than one song. You may need to look for the little dimple in order to see your playlists in the window. Have a look at this thread and click on lori's helpful screenshots for detailed instructions.
To have one song fade out in the middle and transition into another song you can create your compilation in Garageband. Launch Garageband and drag the first song into the track area of the main window. You can keep dragging songs in, placing them in the same track. You can shorten a song, fade it out where you want it to fade, and fade in to the next song. Save it to iTunes, where it will be a new "song". Select that for your slideshow.

How can I select more than one song from the search results?

I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
I hope some Windows user can help me out.

Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)
