IDVD menu and music selection

I created a DVD and have replaced the Theme music with a selection from iTunes. When I go into the chapter menus, I am not able to select the music from iTunes. It reverts back to the default music. The default is really loud and doesn't fit the theme of the DVD.
I have tried to select iTunes under "media" and highlight the selection I want, I click on apply and it doesn't work.
How do I select music, if that doesn't work how do I at least turn down the volume in the DVD?
Thanks,

Sue,
Thank you for your welcome! I would like to say it is good to be here, but I am here because of a problem.
To answer your question, this is purchased music on a CD that has been uploaded into iTunes. I have successfully used the cut for the introduction to the DVD. It works fine, but when I try to use the same music on the chapter menus, following the same procedure, it doesn't work. I get the Theme music with the clarinet. The DVD is of a classical music concert and therefore, the clarinet music just doesn't work.
The music I am using is of a Danish choir (Herning Dregnekor) singing.
I hope that has answered your query.
Thank you for asking.
I will be checking out your suggested URL, thank you.

How do I split Imovie events? I find the option in File menu and have selected the part of the event that I want to split before, but the option to split is not bolded (allowed) in the File menu.

I have imported video to iMovie and want to split the event. I have selected part of the event and when I go to File> Split the event before the selected clip it is not bolded in the menu and it is not an allowed selection. I had imported directly to an external HD so moved the event to the Mac HD and tried it again. This did not work either. Any ideas why this option is not available to me???

Use iMovie to move the events to your Movies folder, otherwise you're can't.

JPopup Menu And multiple Selections

Hi I am trying to achieve the following effect and I am wondering how to do it...
I want to have a popup menu with checkboxes which will allow me to check more than one checkbox at a time (i.e thus the popup will not close for each click of checkboxes)...
I am trying to see if there is a way to do this without having to reprogram a "myownpopupmenu" ... i would prefer to use what is already availble in java ...
Any ideas would help!
Thnx in advance

funny thing is that i thought i could use the processEvent from the jPopupmenu ... but one thing that is bizarre happens... processkeyevent when i use the space bar to click the checkbox is called when i overwrite it but not processmouseevent when i use my mouse... I am thinking maybe it is related to the jdk 1.4... ill update to 1.4.1 to see if it changes anyhting

How do I get the same song to play on the main menu and during scene select

I would like the music to play continuously throught the menu and scene selection. As it is I have to drag the audio file into each scene selection, and the music starts at the beginning.
At least, is there a way to remove the awful sound track that iDVD has on the themes?
iMac 20 core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes I can add audio, how do I get the same song to play throughout the chapter menus? I have 30 "chapters", which are scenes from an hour of home movie. Can the same song play continuously throughout the different chater menus?. As it is now, I have to drag an audio file into every submenu, and it starts the song at the beginning for each chapter menu.
Otherwise, that same song that is preloaded on the theme is played. I hope this makes sence, kind of hard to explain. Thanks

When I go to Apple TV menu and click on Settings, nothing happens. How do I get into the settings menu?

Hi, I can't get past the setup stage with my Apple TV box. It takes forever trying to set the date and time and never seems to achieve this. When I select menu and then select Settings, nothing whatsoever happens. If I can't access the Settings menu, then clearly I can't set the network and password. Can anyone tell me how to get into the Settings menu please? Thanks

Honestly, I have never heard of this issue. The only thing that i can recommend is obtaining a Micro-USB cord and restoring the device. That's probably your only way out of this.

Problems while making a MovieMaker with different transition and music.

Hi..I am making a MovieMaker in flash.I dont have much of experince in flash ,There are some problems which I am facing.kindly guide me..Thanks.
There are 4 things in my project.
1)Uploading Images-First of all User will Upload the images,Based on those uploads there will be one xml generated which will be stored in a disc and by that xml the images uploaded be the users will be get in the flash.
Problem1-How to generate an xml file that would be stored in disc or localhost through which we can get the path of images?
2)Theme Selection-After the images have been uploaded and xml file have been generated then then the images would be loaded in one window.This is for the purpose of viewing those images that has been uploaded by users.After that there is one button below the window "Select Theme".In clicking that Button there is simply another frame opens (by removing child of the previous frames) in which there are some dummy animationswhich are already made .Like in oneAnimation there are 9 Transition effects fading,fly,spiral etc etc and in another Animation there are another 9 effects like zoom,blend and so onetc.User can select one theme out of suppose 9 themes then that theme is the theme of their movie.There is one file called themes.xml tahat containes all the information of the themes.After the theme is selected ,There is button in ThemeSelection called Select Music.
3)Music Selection-There are categories of songs like sad,instrumental,slow,pop etc,In each category there are some songs that are stored in server.Whatever the user will select that will be the theme song.songs are also fetching from xml.After selecting the song there is Make Movie Option in the music frame.
4)Make Movie-Finally based on the above selection the movie is generated which should create new swf dynamically and user can download that movie also with above theme and music selection and those images should play that theme with the background music as selected by user.
Problem2:-How to generate new swf that donot take images.xml,transition.xml and songs.xml.First of all i dont know how to create new swf at run time while using the file operations.and
Problem 3-secondly if i made some swf supposingly movie.swf then whatever the user selected then based on those images,theme and songs selection i called the movieClip object of the movie.swf and all those images with the selected transition and background music are playing in it BUT they need the xml files and images.But i want to give the user one independant swf which dont use xml files and images folder.How can i do that?
The Project is similar to this one

It looks like there is lack of fundamental understanding of flash/ActionScript capabilities.
Your post covers too many topics - forum works the best if questions are focused. You may need to polish your knowledge which will allow you to have answers to some of the problems.
The main thing you should know before proceeding is that one cannot generate swf files at runtime in Flash. And it doesn't matter if you go with Flash or Flex. Should swf generation be a centerpiece of your application, you may want to consider server side compiler.
Otherwise you may not need to generate swfs at all but allow users to see results of their work with help of dynamic content generation including database. In any case, you probably will need and extensive server side application.

I cannot access my gmail. I follow the instructions to click on the menu and then on settings, but there is not a setting icon.

I have a new computer. I cannot access some of my sites, such as gmail. The instructions that I keep getting are to click on the chrome menu and then select settings. When I click on the menu, I cannot find an icon for settings. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. Nothing works!

What happens if you try to open https://mail.google.com/ ? Do you get a "page not found" error, or a security certificate error, etc.?
Firefox has a "3-bar" menu similar to Google Chrome, and you should find Options there, but if you have instructions for the Chrome settings page, they aren't going to match Firefox's Options dialog...

I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited. Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment. Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly? (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote)

Thanks very much, varjak paw. I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over. They all show the same location:
Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step? or somewhere else I should look?
And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs. I am embarrassed that I didn't know. I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac? (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
Thank you again for your help.

IDVD 08 slideshows and music clipping

I'm right to assume the new o8 version allows for more images in slideshows ie 9,000 or so.
Can anyone tell me wether this fixed the slight clip or drop to the audio at the 100th image ?

Is this 99 hardlimit what is causing my problem?
I put together a slideshow with 196 photos and 21 vdeo clips, and added some music to it with "duck audio while playing music" selected.
The iDVD preview shows no problem. The DVD is ok for the first 6:49 minutes,
but then, when the forth videoclip should start:
- the dvd player reset to 00:00,
- the correct video clip is shown
- the audio is from a different videoclip (to come later in the movie sequence)!
From that point on, the audio continues "anticipated" wrt to the video,
up to the end of the audio, leaving the last minutes of the video completely silent.
This happens both on my home DVD player and on my iMac dvd player.
I just checked and indeed the problem happens at slide number 100!
Could you give me some references to this problem?
What is the way out? I guess using iMovie to create the slideshow, instead of relying
on iDVD... that's sad.
Thanks!

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
These are the terms of the itunes store.

Adding Menue Audio Track selection and soubtitles on/off

Hi,
with some help from replies to other questions I managed to get a working DVD/BR with cool 2.0 / 5.1 sound and subtitles.
But for now I do have to select the audio track manually and also I do have to enable subtitles from the DVD/BR players menu.
So I wanted to add a DVD/BR menu where you can choose the audio track which should be played and to switch on and of subtitles.
I edited a nice PS PSD File with some buttons and they show up in Encore and I can do some "encore" editig like moving tham arrond or link to some other elements.
My question: How do I get e.g. the Button "2.0 Stereo" to select the stereo track and the button "5.1 Surround" to select the 5.1 track. An other button should switch on/off the right subtitle
Than I'd like to have a button which starts the video with the selected audio and if selected subtitle on.
At the end of the movie I like to be back in the menu.
I bet thats simple
I thought to create different timelines and add the audio/video/subtitle, but that i have a lot of timelines in all sort of combinations; e.g. video ON, 5.1 sound ON, subtitle OFF ..... video ON, 2.0 sound ON, subtitle ON etc ....
Thansk for any suggestion . and BIG thanks. Götz

Thanks for your posting, but there is the higlight Layer.
I opend the menue in photoshot once more and enabled the layers.
For me a button has the following different states:
Normal, no highlight,just "plain" text. e.g. "English Subtitle". in that state, the Subtitle is NOT selected/enabled.
Mouse Over, the highlight shows up, so you can see where you are with your mouse. e.g. "English Subtitle √"
Mouse left click, the highlight "sticks" to the menue item and when moving the mouse avay it is still highlighted, e.g. "English Subtitle √"
So I'd liked to indicate which audio track is enabled/selected and if subtitles are off or on.
I thought, the highlight button states are markend with (=1) & (=3) ....
BTW. in encore menue edit mode, if I click the show selected/activated Subpicture Highlight, the right layer shows up (with my √-symbol)
But in preview mode or on a burned dvd this did not work

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

HT1583 When burning a DVD of photos and music from iDVD, the photos blur right before the transitions and the music has about 5 second glitches here and there before the music starts again. Is there any way to burn the DVD without this happening?

Each year I am in charge of making a slideshow of photos and music for my annual company meeting. I always use iDVD to set up my photos and music and then burn the DVD to play at the meeting. Every time I burn the DVD, it blurs right before the transition of the photo. It has always done this and I'm not sure why. It will also make the music glitch in a few spots for about 5 seconds or more. If I burn another DVD to try it again, the glitches will still be there, but in different spots. I've tried the highest quality of DVD's possible and this still happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

Try disabling transitions altogether!
There is a technical reason that this breakup happens - it is to do with how slideshows can be saved within the DVD specification, they can either be recorded as 'video streams' or as a collection of 'still images'.
When you add transitions iDVD has no option but to use a video stream, this can result in terrible 'breakup' because the mpeg 2 encoder isn't designed to handle scenes that are static with a sudden short change. You can see 'artefacts' in the video stream…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact
'Still image slideshows' avoid the issue altogether by only showing a static image, no video compression is used & because the scene doesn't transition so it shouldn't breakup.
NOTE: Music on the slideshow is irrelevant, both types can use a soundtrack.
I cannot remember if it is possible to force iDVD to only make still image slideshows, I always use DVD Studio Pro to correctly setup DVD's. I'd suggest you use the option to save the DVD to a disk image & then open that disk image so that DVD Player can preview it, that should save on the number of test disks you burn.
If you cannot make it avoid using video streams you may be ether off making your own video slideshow in iMovie & then import that into iDVD. It may eventually look better despite being a video stream!
iDVD isn't really condusive to professional levels of control.

I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
Thanks.

To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')
