Ideas for HELP sizing a background menu photo in iDVD6

Hey gang. I'm authoring in iDVD6 and have a photo with DVD credits that I want to display as a menu background. iDVD6 tells you to size your photos for NTSC 4:3 at 720 x 540 pixels. However, when I drop it onto the menu, it automatically enlarges the image so that there's only a partial view of the image. The only adjustment that can be made is vertically. I've even tried shrinking the image with text and mounting it on a matte so that it appears in the TV safe viewing area, but no luck there. Same thing happens. Any ideas? If someone want to mess around with the image, let me know and i'll email it to you. Thanks. -nate

hi nate,
i use photoshop to create my idvd backgrounds.
I size the backgrounds at 720 x 534 pixels in photoshop,
and "save as" .jpg.
they fit my idvd menu perfectly.
no re-sizing needed!
hope this helps

Ideas for HELP sizing a photo to display as a menu background

Hey gang. I'm authoring in iDVD and have a photo with DVD credits that I want to display as a menu background. There won't be any buttons on the page. Just this image of DVD credits. The iDVD manual tells you to size photos for an NTSC 4:3 display at 720 x 540 pixels. However, when I drop it onto the menu, it automatically enlarges the image so that there's only a partial view of the image. The only adjustment that can be made is vertically.

hey there koshercuts, welcome to Discussions.
have you tried to edit your pic in iPhoto before dropping it into the iDVD menu? this is where you edit your pix, not in iDVD. also see this: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/, Dan's site has a lot of great info, especially "Tips & Tricks".
good luck.

I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel. Any ideas for help?

When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

Hi ...
If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Try Safari.

Background Menu Photo 854x480 too BIG in 16x9

Read the manual, the tips, etc.
Create a 16x9 iDVD 6 project, take a photo sized in Photoshop to the suggested size of 854x480 to use as background photo in opening simple menu. The photo is blown up, can move it a bit left/right, not up/down, but it's WAY oversized in the iDVD menu window itself.
Any tips? THanks.

"Try just dropping the image in the well to the Left of 'Loop Duration' (Option (1) above)."
FIRST, I want to say THANKS to all that contributed and stuck with me on what seems so simple a problem. I have done a few decent author jobs in DVDSP, but always love the idea of using the automation of iDVD for simple, dumb DVD's, no folders to setup, etc. Each time I learn some tricks in iDVD, a new version comes out, and I have to start over it seems. Earlier versions did not have the 16:9 option if I remember correctly, so here I am learning all over again. I really hate unsolved puzzles, sure I can pop in a black JPEG file and be done with it, and I assume this photo BG issue is not a bug since it seems to work for all you folks.
Any hoot, heres my TEST RESULTS:
Followed the directions exactly, always start with new project, selected "book-shelf" theme 16:9 format. Dropped my correctly sized image into the well. Dropped very short movie onto the screen. Saved as Video_TS image, burned in Toast.
Same "full screen" BG photo results on TV set from stand alone DVD player, in all three viewing choices I have in Apex menus.
At this point all I can suspect is the APEX DVD player not reading the 16:9 flag that iDVD should set for the BG photo. I've read there are some "bugs" where folks have to jump through some hoops for certain videos and photos, and must first use iMovie and then iDVD, to me that defeats the simplicity I am looking for in using iDVD in the first place, not sure if my problem falls in this catagory anyways.
Any other ideas of suggestions are welcome, at this point it could be something simple and that I have overlooked, or something with my player. If I load the Video_TS in apple's DVD player on the computer, the window stays 16:9 format size, that's what makes the whole mystery more puzzling.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm always willing to give em a try and report back.

Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

Ideas or help needed for a simple, robust pluggable framework

Hi all,
Having written a fairly decent plugin engine, similar in concept to the Eclipse plugin engine, although at a more generic scale, I am looking for any possible ideas for a Java Swing framework that is built around the engine, with the concept of using a framework that is built on mostly plugins. My engine handles, or will soon handle, a number of features to make the engine robust enough, yet still easy enough, to use for just about any purpose.
The engine is pretty simple, although with a bit more work I feel will be overall a pretty robust and powerful plugin engine. Each plugin is made up of one or more "services". A plugin is a .jar file that contains a plugin-conf.xml config file, the classes that implement the Service interface, and any supporting classes. The "plugin" is really the package of one or more services and supporting classes. The engine will handle the ability to work with expanded dir structures as well, so that the build process doesn't have to create .jar files on every build of a plugin. The engine has built in support to load, unload and reload a plugin at runtime. This helps during development by allowing auto-reload of a plugin service without having to restart the app. The engine has the ability to "watch" URLs in a separate thread (still working on this), and at given intervals if a change occurs to any plugin, that plugin is reloaded. This is configurable on a per plugin basis in the config file.
Every plugin .jar file gets its own classloader instance. Because of the nature of a framework that may rely heavily on plugins, it will be very common to have plugin dependencies, where a plugin service may rely on one or more other plugin services. The dependencies are configured in the plugin-conf.xml file, and the engine resolves these when the plugin is loaded, automatically. Once all plugins have been loaded, an "init" call is made that then goes and resolves all plugin service dependencies, setting up the behind the scenes work to make sure any service can use any other service it defines to depend on. Another area is plugin versions. There will no doubt be a time when some sort of application may have legacy plugins, but also have newer plugins. For example, an application built on a "core" set of plugins, may eventually update the core plugins with newer versions. The engine allows the "old" plugins to exist and work while new versions of the same plugins may be loaded and working at the same time. This allows older plugins that depend on the old set of core plugins to work, while newer plugins that depend on the new core plugins may work also. Any plugin may depend on one or more services specified by specific versions, or a range of versions.
Plugin services can define to be created when first loaded, or lazy instantiated. Ideally, an application would opt for lazy instantiation until a plugin is needed. For example, a number of plugins may need to add menu items or buttons that would trigger its service. The plugin does not actually need to be created until the menu or button is clicked on. There is one BIG problem with how this engine works though. Unlike the Eclipse (and other) engines where the config file defines the menu item(s), buttons, etc in an xml sort of language, this engine is built for generic use, and therefore is not specific to menu items or buttons triggering a service instantiation. Therefore, a little "hack" is required. A specific plugin that is created when first loaded will be required to set up all the menu items for specific plugins, then handle the actionPerformed() call to instruct the engine to create the service. The next step would be for the plugin service to add its own handler to the specific menu item it depends on, and remove the "old" handler the startup plugin added to it to handle the initial click. Another thought just struck me though. Because the engine must use an XML parser to load every plugin-conf.xml file, it might be possible to "extend" the parsing routine, where by an extending class could be added to the engine to parse plugin-conf.xml files. First the plugin engines own routine would parse it. Then, the extending class could parse for any extra plugin-conf.xml info, such as menu item settings, and directly set up the menu items and handlers in this manner. I will probably include this ability directly in the engine soon anyway, so that nobody else has to do this, but this is one area I would appreciate some feedback on.
Anyway, so that is the jist of the engine. There is more to it under the hood, but that sums up a good part of it. Now, the pluggable framework, much like what the "shell" of eclipse, forte and so forth offer, is built around my engine to make it very easy to build Swing applications with a pluggable framework underneath. The idea is to package up a startup main class that is configurable, a number of useful plugins that other plugins could depend on, such as an Outlook layout, menuing, toolbars, drag/drop, history, undo/redo, macro record, open/save/search/find/replace dialogs, and so forth. This isn't just for an IDE though. The developer using the framework could deploy the basic app with the plugins of his/her choice, and add to it with his/her own plugins.
Soooo, after this long post, what I am getting at is if anyone would be interested in helping out with ideas, feedback, testing, core framework plugins, and so forth. At this time I am keeping the code closed, but will probably public domain it, open source it, or whatever. The finished framework should make it easy for anyone to quickly build useable applications, and if all goes well, I'd like to set up a site with a location for 3rd party plugins to be uploaded, for download, comments, etc. Being a web developer, I myself will probably work on some plugins for Web Services, web stress testing, and so forth. I have lots of ideas for useable plugins.
On that note, one application I am personally working on for my own use, is a simple yet possibly robust internet suite of apps. I want to incorporate FTP, Email, NewsGroup, and IRC/AOL IM/Yahoo IM/MSN IM/ICQ chat into a single app. Every aspect of it would be plugins. Frankly, I hate outlook, Eudora is alright, but I want to do some things with the email app. I also want a single IM/Chat app that can talk with all protocols (not an easy task, take a look at GAIM). Newsgroups are handy to work with for developers and others of interest, as is FTP. But even more so, being able to have all in one big application framework that allows them to share data between each other, work with one another, and so forth is appealing to me, and being written in Java it could potentially work on many platforms, giving some platforms a possible nice set of internet apps to use. Being able to send an email to a mailing list AND have it posted to specific newsgroups at the same time without having to copy/paste, open up separate applications and so forth has appeal. Directly emailing from any chat or newsgroup link without another app starting up is a little faster as well. Those are just "small" things that could prove to be very kewl in a complete internet app. Adding a web browser, well, I don't think I want to go that route. But if there is already a decent Java built web browser, it shouldn't be too hard to add it as a plugin.
So, if anyone is interested, by all means, drop a post to this thread, let me know of interest, feedback, ideas, point out bad things, and so forth. I appreciate all forms of communication.
Thanks.

Yes I do. I am using it now with my work related project.
I am in fact reworking the engine a bit now. I want to incorporate the notion of services (like OSGi) where by a plugin can register services. These services are "global" in scope, meaning any plugin may request the use of a service. However, services, unlike plugins, are not guaranteed to be available. Therefore, plugins using services must be coded to properly handle this possibility. As an example, imagine an email application using my engine. One plugin may provide the email gateway, including the javamail .jar library and provide the email service. Other plugins, such as the one that provides the functionality for the SEND button, would "use" this service. At runtime, when the send button was pressed it would ask the engine for the email service. If available, off goes the email. If not, it could pop up a dialog indicating some sort of message that the email service is not available.
I am at the VERY beginning stages in this direction so I'd love to have ideas, thoughts, suggestions as to how this might be implemented. I do believe though that it will provide for a more powerful engine. The nice thing is, while the engine will support static runtime plugins, it will also support dynamic services that can come and go during the runtime. The key is that plugins using services do not maintain references to them, but instead query the engine each time a plugin needs to use a service.
Static plugins are those that are guaranteed to be available or if not, any dependent plugin is not allowed to load. That is, if A depends on B and B is not able to be loaded, A is unloaded as well as it can't perform its job without B; it depends on B in some manner to complete its function. Imagine a plugin adding an option panel to the Preferences page only that the Preferences plugin is not loaded. It just can't work. However, with some work, there could be variations on this. That is, a plugin may provide a menu item as well as a preferences page. If the preference plugin is not available, then the plugin may simply still work via the menu item, but have no preferences panel available. This should be configurable via the plugin-conf.xml config file. However, as I have it now, using extension points and extensions like Eclipse does, it is also possible that if the Preferences plugin isn't loaded, it wont look for ANY extensions extending its extensino point, and therefore the plugins could all still run but there would simply be no preferences page. So, I am not entirely sure yet which way is best for this to work.
My engine, as it stands now, allows for separate classloader plugin loading, it automatically resolves all dependencies by creating the plugin registry each time the engine is started up. To speed up plugin loading, it maintains a plugins.xml file in the root dir that keeps track of each plugin that was loaded and its last timestamp. Plugins can be open directory files or jarred up into .PAR files (think .WAR or .EAR files). The engine can find .par or open-dir plugins in multiple locations (including URL locations for direct .par files). When it finds a .par file, it first decompresses the .par file to a plugin work directory. Every plugin must have a plugin-conf.xml in its root dir, and either a /classes dir where compiled classes are, or a .jar file in the root path of the plugin, where the /classes dir superscedes the .jar file. Alternatively, anything in a /lib dir is automatically picked up as part of the plugin classpath. So a plugin that wraps the xerces.jar file can simply place the xerces.jar in the /lib dir and automatically present the xerces library to all dependent plugins (which can import the xerces classes but not need to distribute the xerces.jar file if a plugin they depend on has it in its /lib dir). The "parent lookup" process goes only one parent level deep. That is, if plugin A depends on a class in a /lib/*.jar file in plugin B, then the engine will resolve the class (through delegation) of plugin B. But if A depends on B, B depends on C where plugin C's /lib/*.jar file contains a class A is looking to use, this will not work and A will throw a ClassNotFoundException. In other words, the parent lookup only goes as far as the classpath of all dependent plugins, not up the chain of all dependent plugins. Eclipse allows each plugin to "export" various classes, or packages, or entire .jar files and the lookup can go all the way up the chain if need be. I haven't yet found a big reason for supporting this, so I am not too concerned with that at this point. The engine does support reloadable plugins although I have not yet implemented it. Because each plugin information object is stored in a Map keyed on the plugins GUID (found in the plugin-conf.xml file), it is easy enough to load a new plugin (since they get their own classloader) and replace the object at the GUID key and now have a reloaded plugin. The harder part is properly notifying all dependent plugins of the reload and what to do with them. Therefore I have not quite yet implemented this feature although the first step can easily be done, so long as nobody minds the "remnants" of older plugins laying around and possibly not being garbage collected.
All of this works now, and I am using it. I do NOT have a generic UI framework just yet. I am working on that now. Eclipse has a very nice feature in that every plugin.xml file builds up the UI without any plugin code ever being created or ran. I am working on something like that now, although I am focussed more on the aspect of the engine at this point.
Two things keep me going. First, the shear fun of working on this and seeing it succeed, even if a little bit. Second, while I love the idea of Eclipse, OSGi and other engines, so far I have yet to find one that is very easy to write plugins for, is very small, and is "generic" enough for any use. Some may argue JBoss core, at 29K can do this. I don't know if it can. It is built around JMX and I don't know that I agree JMX is the "ultimate" core plugin engine for all types of apps. Not that mine is either, but I'd like to see what I am working on become that if possible. Currently, with an xml parser (www.xmlpull.org) added as part of the code, my engine is about 40K with debug info, maybe about 28K without. I expect it to grow a bit more with services, reloadable/unloadable code, and some other stuff. However, I am thinking it will still be around 50K in size and in my opinion, with an xml read/write parser (very fast one at that), extension/extensino points, services, dependencies, multiple versions of plugins (soon), load/unload/reload capabilities, .par management (unjar into work dir, download .par files from urls, etc) and open directory capabilities, inidividual classloaders, automatic dependency resolution, dynamic dependency resolution and possibly even more, I think what my engine offers (and will offer) is pretty cool in my book.
None the less, there is always room for improvement. One of the things I pride myself on is using as little code and keeping the code neat and easily readable, not to mention as non-archaic as possible, makes for an easily maintainable project.
So, having said all that, YES, the engine can be used as is right now. It does not reload plugins, but you can dynamically load plugins, handle dependency resolution, have a very fast xml read/write parser at your disposal for any plugin, and for the most part easily write plugins. That is all possible now. I should put the engine I have now up on my generic-plugin-engine sourceforge project one of these days, perhaps soon I will do that! While I have no problem handing out the code, I am currently the only committer and I don't have it loaded into CVS at this point. I would like to do so very soon.
So, if you are interested, by all means, let me know and I'll be happy to send you what I have, and love to have more help on the next version of this.

In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
Longer answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

Check the iPhoto preferences:
From the main menu bar: iPhoto > Preferences > General:
"Connecting camera opens" : Set this option to "iPhoto".
If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Thanks, I know I'm not really a big brand (not even a brand at that) but I think you could always release as Firefox's first own brand mobile WITH the OS :)

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.
