IDVD - videos in sequence

Please, guys!
I have a question. If i put 4 videos in my iDVD project, when a burn and play in a DVD Player, this videos will showed in a sequence? Or when i see one of then, return to menu and i need to select the other?
I would like to see all of videos in a sequence, one by one. Is it possible?
Thank you all. And sorry for my english.

It is possible to add chapter markers to a QT movie but not to a slideshow per se within iDvd. The workaround I believe is use an alternate app like iPhoto and export your slides or images as a QT movie. Then use QT Pro (iDvd or iMovie) to add any chapter markers / scenes to said slideshow / QT movie.

         if (event.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop"){
                 netStream.play(VIDEO2)
If i rewind the first video (loop) the white frame never appear:
private function netStreamStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
           if (event.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop"){

Windows Premier pro CS5 Program monitor freezes/hangs when video on sequence bar is playing

Hi all,
I have been experiencing program monitor freezes/hang while the audio and the video on sequence bar is still playing. This happens on both HD and SD projects. I have tried many ways but at time it works but at times does not work. i have updated CS5 to 5.02, updated the driver and also quicktime.
Hope someone can help me on this ! Appreciate it.!

HT1583 When I render my project in IDVD, video and audio runs properly, but when I burn it in professional quality and burning is finished there was no audio on the last two chapters, one audio is attached to the clip and the other one is from itunes, pls

Hi, please help me When I render my project in IDVD, video and audio runs properly, but when I burn it in professional quality and burning is finished there was no audio on the last two chapters, one audio is attached to the clip and the other one is from itunes, pls help

Hi
My first two thoughts
• Shared to Media Browser - BUT as Large or HD - try Medium !
• audio from iTunes - use to go silent
- in iTunes
- Create a new PlayList with needed audio
- BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) - NOT .mp3
- use the files on this CD in Your Movie project - I ALWAYS DO - and only use .aiff ever - never .mp3'
My notes on this:
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
Minuscular - - 176x144
Mobile - - - - - 480x360
Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Help importing iDVD video

I'm having trouble importing iDVD videos into iTunes (and then into my iPhone) that I made with iMovie and then burned with iDVD. When I try to import it, nothing goes into my iTunes movie folder. I get the sense that there's a problem with the type of file it is, but I'm not sure what to do about it (and haven't seen a similar post here). Thanks-
Dino

If you still have the working file from iMovie, you should be able to save as mp4/aac file (quicktime), instead of working with iDVD file. If you have one of those, it is even better - just drag it into iTunes. If you have non-standard aspect ratio, then you will have to convert it to iPod video somewhere (in iTunes also).
DVD files are in a folder called Video_TS and they need to be ripped using Handbrake or some other software like that so it can be used in iTunes.
It is time consuming, from my perspective, so I don't do it very often...
Cheers

How to print to video multiple sequences

I currently utilize FCP4 HD. How can I print to tape/video multiple sequences without nesting?
G4 Power Mac Desktop Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP4 HD

David,
I respectfully disagree. I call 'nesting' the merging of all clips in a selected group into one quasi-clip (Sequence->Nest Items). Sort of like like merging layers in Photoshop with the difference being that in FCP you can still access individual clips or layers in a nest by double-clicking to open the nest in it's own Sequence.
You can apply a filter globally to a nest by dropping the filter on the nest - the filter will affect every clip within the nest. You can't do that with the copy & paste method.
The copy & paste method doesn't merge anything; all clips and layers remain as they did in the Sequence from which they were copied.
Calling that method 'nesting' would only serve to confuse people because they are two distinctly different actions and treated differently by FCP.

IDVD video encode error when burning to DVD

I am trying to burn a new copy of a project I successfully burned to DVD 2 years ago. I have not changed the source material. After the menu renders and video encoding begins I immediately get an error message "video encoding error." There are no menu warnings. All video is successfully previewed. Nothing has changed from the previous burn. The project info box shows all video and audio properly encoded and present.
What gives?

The way from FCE or FCP has been the same for me for lot's of years since FinalCut 1.2.5 I think (was no Express or Pro then)
And QuickTime Conversion never worked for me - I guess You were lucky two years ago.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Just double click on the Hard Disk icon (top right on DeskTop) and read on bottom part of this windows frame e.g,
( in English - 1 of 14 selected, 38.24 GB FREE)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding if material (video + menu) exceeds 40 minutes ! if less I use Best Performances
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1) - BEST IS NOT BEST at all only fastest and results in Maximum amount of BURN ERRORS !
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Final Cut Express 2 - Problem rendering video in sequence

I've created a 23 minute video but the last portion of the video will not render in the sequence. The audio continues to render. I would like to make some small adjustments and polish up the sequence to make a final copy but I can't see it in the canvas. I tried copying and pasting this sequence to a new sequence and to a new project. Making a new project worked once - for awhile the video was rendering and then it stopped again. Any suggestions? The render command just flashes a quick window - but doesn't do more than that.

I have Final Cut Express 2 and I'm working on a G5 with OSX. I have two hard drives and on the one with the video, I still have quite a bit of free space.
Do you think I should try to export it in 2 pieces by using the in and out markers when I export? Will that mess up iDVD when I go to press it?

Can Print to Video HDV sequence

Hello, I am trying to export an HDV sequence to a miniDV tape for broadcast. I am using a Sony GV-HD700 tape deck. I am using Print to Video and it just wont work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I am having this same problem, and need help urgently. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I can control the deck through FCP and the FireWire cable, and can even initiate automatic recording from FCP, but once it starts playing the content the deck freezes and does not actually record anything.

Print to video / HDV sequence

I am about to export a hdv sequence to my z1.
I have to make a master tape for broadcasting.
I normally export my commercial hdv work to mpeg2 and make a dvd....
To make a master tape for tv broadcast I need to make a dv camtape.
How do I create a dv cam master with the right 16;9 aspect ratio and the leat quality loss?
I understood that I can not use edit to tape. So print to video is my only option....
I thought of first rendering the hdv sequence to an appropriate format.
Which format should I choose. Is pro res an option?
Any expert out there.
Advice hightly appreciated.
thnx
xx
Jane

I think what you should do is put the HDV sequence in a DV sequence, then after rendering just lay it out to tape. You could also send it to compressor for the tranfer, but don't think there's much difference if any, in quality. It should end up letterboxed.

Playing multiple videos in sequence

Hello all. I'm a complete newbie to Flash development, but
have been thrown into it with not just a deadline, but a (to me)
"complex" project. I have a Flash project which currently opens and
plays a video as part of whats on "the stage". I now need to add 2
more videos which will play, in sequence, after the first one
finishes. I've gone through the tutorials, read the help files, and
now I'm just feeling a bit "DUH" because I still can't figure out
how to do this. Anybody out there care to help a poor ol' graphics
guy avoid the bitter wrath of his boss?

A single instance of FLVPlayback can handle multiple videos.
I can't remember what the upper limit is. So you can switch between
them based on user input. But I believe it can only ever play one
at any one time. I've used FLVPlayback quite a lot but not for what
you're describing, so can't answer from direct experience.
Check out this page, and the trivial example at the end
(whether its streaming or progressive is irrelevant here, streaming
should work just as well, but perhaps you need to use SMIL files
for the streaming contentPath?)

Play multiple videos in sequence

Hi,
I've multiple videos stored in FMS and would like to merge them into a single video object in order to play all of them in sequence (so that a user thinks it's a single longer video). Is it possible?

IMovie to iDVD--Video too dark, sound too loud--Help!

I created three iMovie projects for my son's swim team, then made a DVD using iDVD. It was fine when viewed in iDVD's preview, but when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark and the sound was way too loud. This is footage taken on a Sony digital camcorder (DCR-TRV11).
I did the iDVD project by starting from scratch from within iDVD, then dragging the iMovie pieces and still images into the iDVD project. The iMovie pieces were prepared by using Share to make them into "full quality" .dv movies.
When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.
Any idea why this is, and to fix it? I don't find a way to reduce the audio volume in iMovie. Maybe there is a workaround using the Relative Volume feature, but all my clips have a similar sound level. Any help will be appreciated.
--Eric
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

when burned to the DVD-R the video was too dark
They is a VERY slight darkening during the MPG-2 compression process (see my pages Digital Video Color Bars Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/color_bars/colorbars.htm and iMovie HD and iDVD 5 Gray Patch Test at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/gray_patches/graypatches.htm )
I suspect what you are seening is a major difference in brightness/contrast between your computer monitior and your TV set (and in fact you admit this: "When I play the finished DVD on my iMac, there are no unusual problems with the video or audio. It looks and sounds like it did when played from the digital camcirder. But when played on both of my standalone DVD players + TVs, the video is too dark and the audio is much too loud.") so you aren't seeing an iDVD problem.

Play multiple MovieClips videos in sequence

Hi,
I've multiple videos stored as MovieClip objects and would like to merge them into a single MovieClip video object in order to play all of them in sequence (so that a user thinks it's a single longer video). Is it possible?
Thanks a lot!

               yes very possible.
there are a few ways to do this, but this is the route i would go.
if you are good with OOP let me know and i will create the class's for you otherwise, also is there sound involved?
var index:int=0
var getTo:int=0
var currentClipInPlay:MovieClip
var clipsToPlay[LoaderA,LoaderB,LoaderC,LoaderD]   //assuming these are your loaders of the movieCLips
function beginPlaying(start:,finish:int){
     var startPlayingMovie:MovieClip=turnInToMc(start)
                        index=start
                         getTo=endValue
                        assumePlay( startPlayingMovie)
protected function assumePlay(starting:MovieClip){
          if(index<getTo){
               addChild(starting)
               resume()
          }else{
               pause()
function turnInToMc(index):MovieCLip{
Loader(clipsToPlay[index]).content as MovieClip
function pause(){
mc:MovieCLip= turnInToMc(index).stop()
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onFrame)
currentClipInPlay=null
function resume(){
currentClipInPlay=turnInToMc(index)
if(!hasEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME)){
     addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onFrame)
function onFrame(e:Event){
var tFrames=currentClipInPlay.totalFrames
      if((currentClipInPlay.currentFrames==tFrames){
               stopAndPlayNext(currentClipInPlay)
     }else{
          currentClipInPlay.nextFrame()
function stopAndPlayNext(mc:MovieClip){
pause()
index++
assumePlay(turnInToMc(index))
removeChild(mc)
mc.gotoAndStop(0)
I'll explain when i get to work what this is

Help to get from video to sequence (newbie - Print person learning video)

I have .vob video files I am bringing into iSquint and converting to .mp4. I then bring that into MPEG Streamclip and have tried many different conversions. I bring them into FCE HD 3.5.1. The video pane plays the file, but when I drag & drop the file into the "Sequence 1" pane they either play the video with no sound, don't show the video at all, show as "undrendered". I am working from .vob files that are recorded at church, from the preacher and I am volunteering to post these online through Vimeo, but I can't seem to get them to work in FCE. I have never used FCE before, but know that I can learn new things. I just can't seem to figure out what settings it is to use to get them in. They are also wanting me to add the preaching points as the preaching happens via text on the screen and it seems like that can be done in FCE. I really need help. Thank you for reading this and posting anything back. I have read post after post in different areas and have tried so much, but keep running into a brick wall on my end.

Thank you so much. You are such a big help. I kept trying to figure out where I knew your name from and it is from some of your help FCE videos I watched on youtube. Wow, you are such a help.
I am converting it now under those settings you gave to me. Although, I couldn't find where the 29.97 was so I typed it in and assume that was right.
I have been working on this since last Monday on and off. I bet I have put in more than 20 hours and still without success. Your help really means a lot to me.
I am use to imovie and just dropping in there and working from there. FCE is so intense for me. I really don't understand "sequence" either.
I have 2 .vob files that I need to convert and bring in to merge together to play as one piece. Is that why there is a "sequence" 1 or 2, etc. or is it like imovie and will all drop into the same timeline and work from there? I have to delete the first 20 seconds of video too and can easily do that in imovie is it easy in FCE too? Then I want to go and add the text to it as he is preaching to give the Scripture reference and points as he preaches. I have read so many places to do that in Photoshop and save as a .psd and bring it into FCE. Is that true or would it be easier to try to learn it in FCE? Thank you!
