How to make video content on a hard drive have DVD-style navigation?

I have a client who plays video clips in a seminar setting, and has been using a DVD player to accomplish this so he can use the remote to jump between different movie clips at will. He now wants the content stored on his hard drive to no longer have to mess with the DVDs, but wants to retain the functionality of DVD-style navigation. Does this require a program like Adobe Director, or are there simpler solutions? Thanks for your help.

I've never tried to send a DVD playback to an external monitor, and don't have the equipment here to test it right now.
This is how most of our Playback for corporate clients is done; university lecture theatres and training rooms.
The Video_TS folder is placed on a central server or local hard drive so anyone authorised can access the presentation. A computer is connected to a projector using RGB VGA showing on a large screen.
One thing to be aware of when showing video as opposed to graphics on two displays at the same time; many laptops and some low end desktop computers have graphics cards that dont have the processing power to display  video on both the laptop screen and  to a projector or second monitor.
The solution is to send it only to the the second display / projector by using the video output toggle switch on the keyboard, (something like Function and F3 keys, but each computer is different).

    You can't.  It can only see content in iTunes or iCloud.  What ever you have on the hard drive you need to add to iTunes.

  • How to get video off my computers hard drive?

    After trashing preferences I forgot to change the scratch disks, to my external hard drive, and all the video was put on my computers hard drive.
    Can someone tell me where to find the video on my hard drive, and then how to delete it off, it is about 100 GB of stuff.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Make sure you know exactly where you put it, and what the clip names are, because you'll have to reconnect media in any project this footage has been used in.

    Premiere Elements 12 Mac
    A few more questions for now.
    Taking your particular .avi files out of the equation, can you import any other format from Add Media/Files and Folders pointed to this external hard drive? What is the format of the external hard drive? NTFS or FAT32?
    It is my recollection that AVCHD.avi has always been reported as highly problematic. Yet you seem to be saying that you have no problem importing them in to the project from the desktop with the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to Expert workspace Timeline.
    Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 12 from the Mac App Store or from Adobe? If Mac Store, what do you have Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor or some variation thereof?
    You wrote
    A number of users are experiencing this issue - they connect their hard drive, load Elements, start a new project and go to add media (from the ext hard drive) using the files and folders option.
    Could you supply more information on this via link(s) which have reported this issue.
    Thanks.

  • Contents of G5 iMac hard drive have suddenly disappeared

    Note: I'm posting this as a favor to a colleague who has just now experienced this problem. I'll perforce be directing her to come over here and read any responses (and respond herself with addition information). She's having a problem that I'm dead stumped on.
    Just now I received this cry for help (the platform is a G5 iMac, the system Mac OS X 10.3.9 (this is all I know about my colleague's system right now):
    I have a lots of folders on my desktop for stuff I'm working on right now, and I also have a dock with some of the applications I regularly use. But the contents of my hard drive have disappeared!!!
    Actually, I know they are there because a similar thing happened to me about a week ago. I clicked on my Workfiles folder on the desktop to open it. Suddenly, so fast I could barely see it, something flew off to the left of my monitor and disappeared. Thereafter, I could not open the Workfiles folder. I knew it still existed because when I tried to copy a Word file from my desktop into it, I got the message that
    it would be replacing a file with the same name. So the contents hadn't really disappeared. They were just inaccessible. I finally figured out how to deal with that by creating a new folder on my desktop and moving the Workfiles folder into it. After I did that, I could access the contents of the Workfiles folder.
    But I can't do the same thing with my hard drive (called "Macintosh HD, for lack of anything fancy); it won't copy or move into a folder -- DMB! I just realized that I can't open ANY folder on my desktop, which is where all my working projects are stored (or those folders are aliases for folders on my hard drive which I can't access). In fact, all the folders on the desktop show that they are "open" but no
    contents are visible.
    This means I can't get to anything right now, including those applications that don't happen to be on my desktop.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.
    Best,
    Sam Klein

    Click on the Safari icon in the Dock and paste the following into Safari's address bar:
    applescript://com.apple.scripteditor?action=new&script=tell application "Finder" to set bounds of window 1 to {357, 296, 667, 511}
    In the Finder, open one of the folders, and then make the Script Editor frontmost followed by pushing the Run button. That folder's contents should now be visible, and the command can be repeated for the other folders.
    This method works in Mac OS X 10.3 and newer. If you are using an older version of Mac OS X, other solutions may be available.

    How do I point iMovie to events in my external  hard drive so I can play projects which use them?
    MacBook, iMovie 9.0.4

    Hi
    You can do this - by not doing it the way You describe as it will not work.
    a. the external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS extended (hfs) formatted -
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - will work for most things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO (iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut doesn't matter)
    b. Do not alter or move any folder named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    on DeskTop/Finder - at all
    All moving's of Events and Projects must be done within the iMovie Application - then connections will not break.
    (move them back and see if iMovie remembers them - then do move as described above)
    Yours Bengt W

  • How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
    Go to DISK UTILITY
    Choose the Hard Disk you intended
    ERASE
    You can choose either

  • How do I move iTunes content from my hard drive back to the cloud?

    I travel a lot for work and have been using my MBP to watch movies on the plane.  Obviously, this requires me to download them to my hard drive.  With a smaller SSD, though, I'm finding the need to free up some space.  Does anyone know how to remove a movie (or any iTunes content) from my hard drive while making it still available through iCloud streaming?

    If these are iTunes purchase, you don’t move them to the cloud. They are already there.
    Just delete them in iTunes.
    They will still appear in iTunes with a cloud icon.
    Note if you delete a movie, you will not be able to stream it while on the plane...
