Idvd menu for imovie08

Hello. I have created an imovie(08) from footage filmed in 3 locations - A, B, and C. I would like to create a menu in idvd so the viewer can skip directly to view scenes A, B, or C separately if they choose. How do I do this? Thanks.

Just export each one as a separate QT movie from your iMovie project. I don't use iMovie 7 but I did download iMovie HD (free from apple's web site).
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
I then select each clip/s in the timeline and ask iMovie to share only the selected clip/s back out to QT which in turn can be shared / dropped into iDvd'08 as totally separate movies as opposed to chapters or scenes.
Click Here
As you may know using chapters will pretty much force your audience to watch the movie from that point forward. Separate movies on the other hand show only that one section and then return right back to the menu so you can select a different movie or slideshow for your viewing pleasure.
Hope this helps solve the problem but if not just come on back.

Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

Hi...
Better to post in the iDVD forum here.
That way you can get feedback from iDVD users. This forum is for troubleshooting Mac App Store issues.

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.

Idvd settings for burning and playing on TV

hi,
I just bought iLife 8 and made my first dvd project. It all worked fine besides the last step: playing it on a TV. On idvd 6 all went fine, but I don't remember how I did the job then
On TV I can see the theme, choose from the menu, hear the music, but the screen is in black and white (in an ugly way)!
PS I burned the project on a DVD-R from imation. Just bought Philips DVD+R..

Did you set the preferences in iDVD to be for PAL TV output or is it still set to NTSC?
Start iDVD and go to the Preferences option in the iDVD menu.
Click on the 'Projects' Tab and make sure that PAL is selected (I think that is what you use in Belgium)

I have created an iMovie file and have created an iDVD menu file. I am now ready to burn a DVD. But my superdirve is broken. If I put my files on a mac without iMovie or iDVD, can I burn my DVD with Toast 11?

I have created an iMovie file and have created an iDVD menu file. I am now ready to burn a DVD. But my superdirve is broken. If I put my files on a mac without iMovie or iDVD, can I still burn my DVD with Toast 11?

no need for Toast ..
tell iDVD to create a disk-image
transfer dmg to othe Mac
launch the Disk Utility, burn that dmg .......

No iDVD menu on desktop

When I double click on iDVD icon ( in Dock or in Apps folder ) iDVD shows
on Menu Bar at top of screen and window opens with "open project"
"new project" and "open tutorial" choices. But when I select any of those
three, the window goes away but nothing else happens, no iDVD menu
appears. The program doesn't freeze, I can still pull down 'file' and select
"new project" etc, but with same results. I have sucessfully used iDVD 3 or 4
times in the past few months, the last time was about a month ago. This is the first time I have tried it since then. I have tried two things: I put the iDVD preference file from the library folder in the trash. And I copied the iDVD
application from my Mac HD to my internal 200 GB drive and tried opening it
from there. No change. I am a novice so I am flailing around here. Any help?

My standard list of things to do first...
Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
Reboot your Mac.
Yours is certainly a new one!

Creating menu for authored movies

Hi all,
I want to create a new menu for a movie. The problem is that the movie is already in a TS folder, and I don't know how to link the menu (play button) to the movie in the TS folder (iDVD won't accept vob files). Is this possible in iDVD or any dvd editor?
Thanks in advance,
-Greg

Hi Greg,
My problem is not with authoring the movie however, it's that I don't understand how to add a menu to an already authored movie.
Since iDVD can't open an already authored movie, I know that it's impossible to finish it all within iDVD, but I like the menu editor in iDVD, and was hoping there was a way to create a dvd menu and then link it to an authored movie (by changing the scripting).As I said, iDVD cannot do what you described. Toast 7 Tatinium can. The VIDEO_TS already has the menu script and the encoded movie together. iDVD cannot take them apart and re-piece with a different menu script. Toast can take the main movie part and piece it with Toast's menu.

How to get iDVD Menu to startup?

I created an iMovie, sent it to iDVD to create a menu for the movie. When I place the dvd into the player to watch it on my TV, the movie just starts and doesn't show the menu I created with iDVD. Any suggestions on how to fix this or why its happening?
Thank you

Go to the Map mode
and make sure there's no item in the Autoplay bin at the left:
If there is drag whatever's in the bin out and try again.

Putting multiple chapter-marked movies under one IDVD menu

I am currently making various instructional videos for a company and I want to fit 4 separate imovies that are chapter-marked under 1 idvd menu so I can fit this in 1 Dual layer DVD . Any answer can help. Thanks

I assumed the OP had tried that and it failed..
I asssumed he was using the 'Export from iMovie' approach that only gives you a way to add one movie to an iDVD project.
Anyway, we should have him covered.

Application wide popup menu for JTextComponent descendants

Hi!
I'm working on large project with reach Swing GUI and I got stuck with one small but wery annoing problem. I have to append simple popup menu to all text input fields (JTextComponent descendants) in whole application. I'm realy lazy to append mouse listener on each component, so I'm asking, is there any way to append "default" popup menu for all components. Please, don't answer about custom components instead of Swing plain JTextComponent descendants - it's worse to change classes for all fields then add mouse listener to them.
As an example of what I want I could forward you to UIManager.put() method, which affects all properties of component behaviour thoughout application. I want to find same solution, maybe there any registry or smth. else in API.
Than you in advice.

You could always try extending something like MetalTextFieldUI so that it adds the listeners to the text field automatically. You'd then need to register that UI class with the UIManager at startup:
public class MyTextFieldUI extends MetalTextFieldUI {
protected void installListeners() {
    super.installListeners();
    // TODO - Install your listener here
protected void uninstallListeners() {
    super.uninstallListeners();
    // TODO - Uninstall your listener here
UIManager.put("TextFieldUI", MyTextFieldUI.class.getName());Personally, I think you're just being lazy... getting your components to extend a subclass of JTextField should be no trouble at all and will leave you with clearer code.
Hope this helps.

You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi Chris -
Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
Again, thank you!

Is there a way to create a vertical menu for tablet that stays in place?

I am a novice in web design, and I want to make a vertical menu for a tablet page that stays in place.
It should not scroll, and it has to resize depending on screen size, so it looks the same across different tablet sizes.
Is this possible in Muse? After reading some posts I am getting the feeling this is not possible at all, is that really true?
If it can't be done in Muse, can I do it another way? In Dreamweaver for instance?
The reason I want this is that in my opinion horizontal menu's for tablets are ergonomically bad design, and just plain annoying. You always have to use two hands, lift one hand and then you probably block the view of the screen.
Vertical menu's for tablets just make more sense since they can be made so that you could place them on the side of the screen so it would be possible to navigate with the hand that is holding that side of the tablet.
I hope someone can help me.

Yes, I am using the widget.
It seems it is not possible to make the menu stick in tablet design (the pin options are greyed out). Nor is it possible to make the menu scale with screen sizes.
A possible solution would be the ability to make it stretch to 100% screen size, like you can with horizontal objects.
I have noticed though, that, for some reason, in web design it is discouraged or very hard to make things stretch 100% vertically. It seems to cause problems, and I don't understand why.
Since I have started in web design, I have seen many posts of people having design problems, where stretching 100% vertically would be the obvious solution.
