IDVD menu transitions help!

Hey guys,
I have a quick question about iDVD. Is it possible to have a sound only play when you enter into a menu?
For example - If i enter the extras menu, i want a short 10 second sound to play.
Is there any way in iDVD to do that?
thanks,
Dustin

I know that you can do that, but i don't want it to
loop. Is there any way to make it not loop? That's
what I am aiming for.
You can make it a LONG loop..... but it eventually will loop back to the start.

  • From Final Cut Express to iDVD--need some help

    I've read through the past threads on this topic and I still can't seem to figure out what's going on.
    I'm using the latest FCE and iDVD6. Here's what's going on:
    Put in chapter markers like I should in FCE.
    Export to Quicktime (not conversion) with all proper options selected.
    Video becomes a .dv file (is that Quicktime?) that opens in QT but no chapter markers show up.
    Then, I open iDVD and drag the file in, but here's the rub--WHERE DOES IT GO? If I select a theme and drop it in (not in drop zones) it's just a video floating around in the theme main page. No chapters show up in the submenus.
    Am I supposed to drop it into a particular place in iDVD? Or do I import it, or go to "Media" and then "Movies" and select it from there? I need to know how to make my chapters show up and how to get the movie where it's supposed to g (like if I was importing from iMovie).
    I know this is long, but please help!
    Thanks.

    Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
    I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
    Hope this helps!

  • IDVD menu in foreign language?!

    click on the dock's icon of iMovie and hold the mouse button..
    select from context menu 'show in Finder'
    hit both keys Apple-I
    deselect in the info-window any language except English ..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

    I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • 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.

    Thanks & Regards,

    I am getting the data aslo for Employee Group in the query when I drill down that char.
    But I dont know why it is taking long time and getting time out to display the popup menu for help values at selection screen.

    and there are 3 opstions for the above seeting as below,
    1. Only values in master data
    2. Only values in Infoprovider

    You will lose a lot of Google's ability to map your site unless you submit a special site map to the search engine (see mine under www.aloe-vera.org/public_.xml ).
    To submit a sitemap to Google you need a google account (such as Gmail) and then go to: www.google.com/webmasters/tools to submit your sitemap.  This will help to balance having a Flash menu.
    I would love to see your menu when it is done!  Best wishes, David

    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.

  • Idvd dvd size help

    Hi
    I'm trying to burn a movie on idvd but it is 4.5 gb
    I have a 4.7 gb disc in but i dvd says it is only 4.2 gb
    can't see how to change it

    The limiting factor for iDVD is the total length in time of the movie, not its size. iDVD will compress it to fit if the movie is under 2 hours including iDVD menu content. You don't have to do any compression yourself. Many of my iMovies are between 25 and 65 GB, and they all fit onto a single layer DVD because they were under 2 hours.
    Are you using iMovie? Which version?
