IDVD chapter headings anamorphic

According to Apple's technical note T51611, an anamorphic 16:9 sequence must be exported from Final Cut Express to iDVD using certain custom settings from the File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion menu. However, this bypasses the "Include Chapter Headings" option in the regular Export>As Quicktime Movie menu. Is there any way to include chapter headings for iDVD in a sequence exported using Quicktime conversion? Does this problem not occur in DVD Pro?

In http://www.fcpbook.com/Video9.html Tom describes how to fix your 16:9 movie after Export/Quicktime Movie (which preserves chapter markers).

Why do my chapter headings disappear once I close my document?

When I re-open my pages document, my chapter headings seem to get confused and I have to re-set them. Why is this happening?

Extremely Basic Primer on Creating Chapter Headings

Would like to receive recommendations as to what others have found to be the single most clear and simple explanation of how to create chapter headings in a book. I've reviewed multiple sources on this, but constantly run up against issues..
Appreciatively,
Luca

Before I can face the book once more, it would be wise to trim away some of the false starts present in the document. I have numerous paragraph and character styles names which are useless to me, created or defined in an attempt to define and use them properly, but was generally unsuccessful in doing so. Now there are dozens that can and should be deleted.
I've formatted chapters 1 and 2 manually, temporarily giving up on the method of using variables and such, just to get some forward movement, and actually would prefer not to lose them.
The document is a technical book on optincs with many subheadings, 500 pages (hence the need to understand this process). On the left side header: chapter title. Right side header:chapter suheadiing.

Audio book has no chapter headings

Downloaded "Walden".
It appears in iTunes as Part 1 and Part 2.
No chapter headings.
No way to navigate through eleven+ hours.
Imagine a CD with no song titles.
Think of a city with no street signs.
Is this universal?
Any help?

Glad you got the Audiobook sorted out. Audible.com seems to have a really good model for iTunes and iPod integrated audiobooks, as well. I've been using their service for quite some time, and highly recommend it.
In iTunes, click your iTunes menu and select Preferences. Click the Playback tab. If 'Crossfade playback' is selected, go ahead and de-select that option and click OK.

Exporting "Selected Clips" and iDVD Chapter Markers from iMovie

I've tried exporting "selected clips" from iMovie . The iDVD Chapter Markers do not appear as a menu option on the initial iDVD menu screen when "selected clips" is checked in the iMovie Share option. The chapter markers are limited to the clips I'm exporting. The "Share" dialog box seems to indicate that Chapter Markers should export but they don't. // I'm trying to break up a movie that's too long for a DVD (but I will later share to video from iMovie). I'd prefer not to make two iMovie projects out of this. Thanks!

Hello, John,
Welcome to the discussions.
You can either do your 'share to video from iMovie' before or after creating your iDVDs. But, you will need to create a second iMovie if yours is too long for one DVD and you are wanting to make 2 DVDs from the one long movie.
To make the second one before sharing the entire movie:
Select the clips you want in the second movie, then go to 'Edit' and 'Copy'.
Then, select 'New' iMovie. When it opens, give it a name like "Part2" and then 'Paste' your selected clips. Save the movie, then go back to the first one. Delete the clips you just copied.
Close iMovie. Open your DVD project. Find the 'Media' tab, go to 'Movies' and drag and drop your first movie into iDVD. Finish the iDVD project. Save and close.
Then, create the second iDVD project for your second movie in the same way.
Do 'save as disk image' for each iDVD project. That way your project is intact for each one, and you will not lose anything when you change the iMovies. You can burn your DVDs from the disk images.
Now, go back to your second iMovie. Select the clips and copy. Close that movie and open the first one. Paste the second set of clips. Now you have your original movie back and can do your share to video from it. Delete the second movie.

Missing chapter headings

Recently purchased a new ipad air 2. Upgraded to ios 8.1.3 and then downloaded my previously purchased movies from iTunes and most of the movies have chapter headings still associated with them, but several are now missing the chapter headings. These same movies previously had the chapter headings in place on my prior ipad 2 (not an air), but still with ios 8.1.2.
Have tried deleting the movies with missing chapter headings and then re-downloading them, but still no change.
Any suggestions?

Just noodling here a little . . .
1. Which heading style(s) are you using for topic titles? Are
they consistently applied for all topics, looking at the html view?
Are there any stray spaces or html code immediately before the
<begin heading> tags?
2. Are you generating print doc with the project's style
mapping dot, or some other?
3. Did you select "Maintain HTML heading levels"?
In points 2 and 3, I don't know whether these settings (or
which option) may be causing the problem; just suggesting that you
change one at a time to test print output.

Problem with iDVD Chapter selection

Hi everyone,
I've a problem when burning a DVD. In the preview mode of iDVD, I can select the chapter I want using the scene selection menu, but once the DVD is burnt, every scene selection on my DVD player relaunches the DVD main menu (splash screen, then main menu...)
Does anyone already experienced this problem ? Is it possible to solve it ?
(I am using the latest iDVD version)
Thanks for help

I know I have seen that problem in these groups before but forget what the solution is. But something you can try is to delete the encoded assets in the project then re-encode/burn the project. Not sure if the menus are the same, but in iDVD4, you go to the Advance menu then select delete encoded assets. This forces iDVD to re-encode everything like it is supposed to. Sometimes if there are assets left over iDVD might see those, thing that part is done and move on. This can result in weird problems like you describe, wrong audio in the DVD, and other issues.

IDVD Chapter limit?

I have edited an instructional video in Final Cut Pro and imported it into iDVD to burn to a DVD since DVD Studio Pro keeps crashing under Snow Leopard. Everything imports fine, except iDVD only generates menus for the first 16 chapters. Is there a limit involved here, or can I get around this somehow?

Hi
The limit for Chapters in iDVD should be 99
There is a limit on how many Chapters that can be on each menu/sub-menu and
16 seems like something I seen before
In FinalCut Pro I do
• Export out as QuickTime .mov
• Remember to export with Chapter marks
• NO - QuickTime Conversion
• (Not Selfcontained - Not important but saves time and space)

IDVD chapter selections all point to the same video clip!

In iMovie I created a movie with 9 chapters, I'm using iMovie 6 because I can still easily create chapters. I've shared the movie to iDVD and added a music track to the menus only. There are 3 menu pages, the main and two sub menus. When I select "play movie" the entire movie plays through in order. If I select any of the 9 chapters it plays the same clip every time. Doesn't matter which chapter I click on 1-9 it always plays chapter 4. Does anyone have an idea what I may be doing wrong? I've not had this problem before with multiple chapter movies. Thanx

Hi
YES - This is the dreaded iDVD BUG
And it is set of by
• Making a video
• Export it one way or another to iDVD and a New iDVD project
• Finding something needed to be altered and returning to Video-editor (iMovie, FinalCut or whatever)
• Fixing it and returning to iDVD
NOW - iDVD will notice the difference and ask You to either Cancel or Up-date - and now all Chapters points to Chapter one.
Medicine:
• It's said that You can Clear out iDVD assets and re-import the edited video.
• I do - Start a brand new iDVD project - Import last edition of movie and never look back.

Numbering Chapter Headings

I'd like to use a Heading style to label chapters, and I'd like to number the chapters, preferably automatically, so that when a new chapter is inserted, the subsequent chapters will adjust automatically. Each chapter, by the way is in its own section, with its own headers and footers.
I tried selecting the paragraphs with the Heading, adding list numbers, and then changing the heading style to accept the changes. And it works, except that all of the headings have the number 1. Is there a way to make them sequential?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
When you're defining a list, make sure that the option is set to "Continue from previous" rather than "Start at: x" in the *Text Inspector>List*. Subsequently, in the Style Drawer, select the down-pointing arrow to the right of Heading and choose Redefine Style from Selection. It works on my machine, let me know if it doesn't work on yours.

FCE - iDVD Chapter issues...

Hi iDVD users...
I've got some school concerts edited in FCE.
Now i'm having a few chapter issues ...I've followed Ken Stone's instructions to the letter (and the posted suggestions here) and export to Quicktime, choose chapters etc, and when i open the file in QT it sees the chapters.
iDVD preferences have chapters checked.
Disc one is 50 mins long, 6 chapters. But they don't show !
I'm really sure i'm doing all the right stuff....am I?
When i put the disc into the DVD player, i didn't even get the 'front page' from iDVD, it went straight to play.
I UN-CHECKED auto play in the first place !
I use OS 10.4.5, FCE HD 3, iDVD 6.o.1 and FWIW I have Toast 7.0.2
I'm coming under pressure from work, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
If it comes to it, I'll import to iMovie and do it that way, but I am loath to do that....
cheers all...

You don't see the chapters in iDVD?
I'm really sure i'm doing all the right stuff....am I?
You are selecting only chapter markers when you export? Not all markers?
http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc3.html
Finally, export using File>Export>QuickTime Movie. If the DVD is to be built on the same computer that has the media, uncheck Make Self-Contained yo create a reference movie. If you're moving the file to another machine, check Make Self-Contained. In either case from the Markers popup select Chapter Markers.

Final cut pro idvd chapter markers

In previous versions of Final Cut Pro (pre 10) I was able to add chapter markers to the timeline so IDVD would recognize them as chapters. How do I put chapter markers in Final Cut Pro 10?
Thanks... Gary

I don't think you can . . . at least not in FCP X.
It's all connected with the late Steve Jobs' belief that DVD was already dead and new Mac apps should reflect that.
Have you noticed how iDVD is no longer produced and the last update was about 5 years ago?

IDVD chapter problem

Hello,
I'm trying to do following things, but iDVD won't let me or I can't find how to do this... I have several separate movies from iMovie that I want to combine to one DVD. I want to have menu buttons for each chapter but also an ability to play all them one after another.
iDVD manages to create menu for all of them and I can play them separately, but after playing one chapter it returns back to the menu rather than playing next one.
I can add them into slideshow and then it will play them altogether but then I don't have ability to play movies individually.
So, to summarize I have two questions:
1. Why after playing one chapter iDVD returns to the menu, and is there a way of disabling it?
2. Is there other than a slideshow way to create a play-all functionality?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
It's a good advice to start a new topic than jump into another fellow users one.
But I would move out the pref file and re-start iDVD and see if that helps.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
Yours Bengt W

IDVD Chapter Buttons

Hi Everyone! I've breifly looked through the forum, but can't quite find the answer to my question. Occasionally I run into a problem w/my chapter buttons. I've been making several photo slideshows, loading them into IMovie w/chapter buttons, exporting to IDVD, creating my menu then savings as a disc image to burn w/toast (I find burning in IDVD, they don't always play on the DVD players). Anyway, when you arrow through your menu you may only get one or two chapters that will highlight and the rest you can't access. Any suggestions? THANKS!

These DVDs that I had already burned I need to somehow export the video (from the DVD), I do not have the original files on my mac any longer.
If it's an iDVD you authored/burned to disc and it resides on standard DVD-R media you have 2 options:
1. You can use a standard DVD Player and connect the analog outputs to a mini dv camcorder's input as an interface with pass thru feature to FW > Mac > i-movie.
2. You can use something like:

There is less quality loss with option one. Hope this is Helpful and good luck.

FINAL CUT PRO and iDVD CHAPTER BUTTONS MIXED-UP

Hello to all,
I have finished this project that's 113 minutes long in FCP 5.0.4, and have successfully burned a disc. I had exported the Quicktime compression (along with 48 chapters) to iDVD 08 (I do not have DVD Pro).
I used the sunflower template and all went well, but unfortunately, I made a blunder in the scrolling titles and chapter locations, and had to go back and do it all again! So, I started a new iDVD project and have been through another 11 hour encode.
+"Everything burned OK the second time, with the exception of some of the chapter menu buttons."+
For some reason - four out of seven pages (meaning their chapter buttons) are mixed up. If you navigate down, it goes up, if you navigate right - it goes down, and so on and so forth.
Three page buttons are just fine.
Any quick enlightenment, would be appreciated. I'm trying to finish this project to burn a few dozen discs for the client by wed.
Thanks to all input!

Hi,
Well, that's right, but since I had a previous question and response concerning chapter markers in FCP using iDVD, they were answered by Redtruck and a host of others users. This new problem I'm having, I thought, might actually have it's possible roots with FCP, since thats where the markers were fist laid down. But, I'm probably wrong about that.
I will go ahead and post in iDVD.
Thanks much!
