IDVD Menu Missing

I burned a dvd from an iMovie I made and burned the DVD from iDvd. When I play the DVD back it jumps right into movie and does not have a menu come up that gives the person an option to click play. What do I do to correct this?

Hi
In iDVD - You can set it to show the Menu lay-out or the DVD structure
Set it to show the structure
Now You see boxes and the top / left one (the Auto-Play box)
If there is a movie in this - click and drag it (the movie title) over to the next box to the right.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to get my iDVD Menu to the beginning of my movie on the DVD?

    Is there a way to get my iDVD Menu to the beginning of my movie on the DVD?

    Go into the Map mode and make sure there are no items in the far left hand bin.
    If there is something in that bin drag it out, 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 and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    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.

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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
    Macbook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    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.

  • Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

    How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
    Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
    Thanks!

    Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality 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.

  • IDVD menu buttons missing

    When I open the theme menu pages neither the "Play Film" or "Scene Selection" buttons appear. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I've looked through the basic help pages and David Pogues iMovie&iDVD book. Nada...
    Is there any way to add these two buttons? I understand that they're supposed to be on every theme menu page.
    Sorry if the answer is self evident.....
    C.

    You have to add an iMovie HD movie with chapter markers to the main menu to created those. Every Theme menu is empty until you add something.

  • Print to PDF; Print to Compressed PDF; Print to Web Receipts menu, MISSING

    I have been trying for several days now to restore printer prefs for a HP Officejet 7410.
    Under Mac OS 10.5, and after reinstalling HP software and drivers from www.hp.com, the drop down menu for PDF option is missing entirely! As a work around... have tried 'file > save as', then choose pdf option. (This option only works in a very limited number of programs! I have gotten accustomed to 'printing to pdf' for archiving and password protecting key docs, and emails, et al; and therefore would like to regain this essential feature.
    Question is, are others having this same problem with other printers, or have I missed some critical step in setting up my printer? (I already deleted all printers , then created a new printer profile from the print&fax menu under system preferences).
    Any thoughts or useful observations, are Greatly Appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Geoff

    John.
    +Thanks for reply.+
    Re: +What steps have you taken to restore printer prefs?+
    Originally installed Leopard (OS 10.5) using the *'UPGRADE to MAC OS'* selection.
    Went to system preferences > deleted all printers. Clicked "+" button to add HP 7400 Series printer via bonjour. Added other virtual printers (FaxSTF). HP 7410 Printer dialog box was still missing "print to PDF" feature, and other features, so downloaded and installed current software and drivers for HP Officejet 7410. Again deleted all printers from 'Print & Fax' dialog box of System Preferences. Added printers Officejet 7400 Series ; and Officejet 7400 Series FAX.
    Still have no "print to pdf" functions; can not use HP color rendering technology, only colorsync is available. Control over ink density, color temperature, and other previous print dialog choices are all MISSING IN ACTION.
    I have rebooted from a cloned external HD using prior OS (10.4.10) all printer features function properly. So have concluded that Leopard is not 'prime-time' ready as far as many third party printers. Don't know when either HP will update it's drivers, or when Apple will create a update for devise drivers. Imagine there'll be some finger pointing for source of problem between HP & Apple. Guess will be returning to OS 10.4.10 until these bugs are ironed out.
    If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please drop me a note.
    Thanks,
    Geoff

  • How to add more drop zones or movies in an idvd menu

    I was building a dvd in idvd and ran out of drop zones to fill but I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones.
    I tried different templates but I could find none that had more than 12 drop zones.
    Then I was adding movies to the main menu and idvd refused to allow more movies added when I reached 10 movies. It said that the template did not accept more movies.
    I tried a few other templates and could not get it to accept more.
    I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
    Is there some way to add more than the default drop zones in an idvd template and to add more movies in a menu without having to use submenus?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones
    Sorry, the templates 'are what they are'.
    I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
    You need to figure out how to work with what is available.
    If you want more freedom, buy Apple's Final Cut Studio and learn to use DVD Studio Pro.

  • How can I control the order of iDVD menu items using the Arrow keys?

    I have a submenu screen containing 10 selectable buttons plus the Return Arrow button.  I have ordered all the slideshows in the correct order in the DVD map.  However, when I run the program, the arrow keys jump the selection focus in an apparently random sequence.  How can I control the order of the selection focus?
    I'm using iDVD v 7.1.2
    TIA.

    Hi
    There is one thing You might miss in iDVD - So do I - the ability to re-arrange in the DVD map (block diagram)
    The order things will be pplayed or addrssed is same as the order each item is introduced into iDVD.
    To my knowledge ther is no way around this.
