Insert Audio Player into Submenus in iDVD

I am a musician seeking to create a audio-visual demo reel for myself using iDVD. To do this, I want to have individual submenus for different music clips, but it seems that the only way to insert audio into a menu is to have it set as background music. What I need is a Quicktime-style media player which will allow listeners to fast forward or scrub through songs, without listening through the entire track.
I also have no idea how to change the looping times of each submenu. In the event that it isn't possible to implement such a media player into a submenu (as I suspect it isn't), I need to be able to set the looping times for each submenu to be equivalent to the length of its assigned audio file.

Welcome to the forums.
One option is to free yourself from the constraints of menu music and create "productions" in iMovie with either no video (a long black slide) or perhaps titles, lyrics, comments, ??? The audio track will be imported from Garageband (or?). Chapter markers will allow the listener to scrub/jump forward and backwards through a piece. You can have one or more compositions per menu page in iDVD. The listener would navigate to a DVD menu and choose a composition to listen to; jump forward; and exit back to the menu (just like with a commercial DVD).

Insert flv player into a page

My problem is how to insert a .flv player into a jsf web page and be able to modify dinamically the movie address??
Thank all for your help!!!

one way to embedd flash player is to use swfobject.js
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
<script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("location of ur swf (flash) player", "mymovie", "340", "300", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.addVariable("videoId", ID);
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
ID is the input that will change dynamically...ur flash player will read videoId and chose the location from where to stream the .flv file..
remember u may need to write ur own .swf(flash player)...

Problem inserting audio track into timeline

Sorry, I'm a newbie, and I'm sure this is a dumb question -- but I can't seem to answer it myself.
Working with the latest Windows CS6 update and 1080/60p video from my Panasonic AVCHD camcorder, I find the only way I can move a clip from the Source Monitor to the Timeline is by dragging and dropping. Any other method (clicking on the "insert" icon, keyboard shortcuts) moves only the video, leaving the audio behind.
What am I doing wrong, or what do I not understand?

Okay, that sent me in the right direction. Now I understand.
Thank you!

Trouble inserting audio clip into sequence (CS5)

I'm running Premiere Pro CS5 on Win7 x64. I have an MP3 audio clip that I've selected a sub-clip from, as you can see here:
When I click on the insert button, everything to the right of the insertion point on the timeline is pushed to the right, as if the clip were inserted, but the clip doesn't show up anywhere (I've scrolled up and down through both the audio and video tracks), as you can see here:
I've done this many times beofre without any problem. What am I doing wrong now?
Thanks for your help.

Glad I could help.

Flash Audio Player inserted via Dreamweaver

I am looking for a flash solution to insert easily into a dreamweaver html page. I need a small audio player with a start and stop button. It should have a white background (no text). To work like the example in www.spolin.com/about.html
I would like to have a flash plug in that allows me to insert into another webpage and use an FLV file or other audio format.
Dreamweaver's player does not look good inserted into any webpage.

This information and tutorial assumes I have knowledge of programming and flash pro. I have no knowledge of programming.
Is there a tool or an existing simple player I can modify easily without knowing much about Flash Pro or programming?
I bought Flash Pro because a tech support person from Dreamweaver told me I needed it in order to convert my flv to something that would work in Dreamweaver. I am only an intermediate user of Dreamweaver and Flash Pro is overwhelming in its capacity. I have no idea how to use it.
The player included in Dreamweaver is terrible. It assumes the sound file must be played as a video and inserts a black default video screen with the player controls.
There is no way to simply insert a play, stop button player using Dreamweaver's insert flv player.

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?
Jerry

Hi, Jerry -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.

Toslink Optical out of Sony 707esD CD player into the Audio in/optical dig

How's everyone? Been a while. I don't have a GB question per say but since this is the forum I know best I'm going to ask my audio question here.
I'm taking the Toslink Optical out of my Sony 707esD CD player into the Audio in/optical digital audio in port of my March 2009 iMac.
In System preferences>Sound>Input>Digital in Optical digital-in port I see a signal occurring on the input level meter but I do not hear audio.
Output is headphones port and is working fine from other sources.
I see a signal input does anyone know how to hear the output.
Thanks.

I inserted my CD into the external player incorrectly. How do I get the disc out?

I inserted a CD into my external player incorrectly into my MacBook Air and can't get the disc out. What do I do?

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

DVD starting on insertion to player

I am using iDVD 08. I want my DVD to begin playing automatically when it is inserted into the player.

Very easy to do. Just open map view and drag and drop your QT movie to the very first box. Now your movie will play as soon as it is inserted into a typical set top dvd player or computer with Dvd-Rom or S-Drive. Btw, this is called an Autoplay Dvd.
Click Here
This is a sample view from iDvd 6 but the procedure is identical to iDvd'08.
Creating a DVD that plays automatically when it is inserted into a DVD player
You can create a DVD that consists of a single movie or slideshow that begins to play automatically when the viewer inserts the DVD into a player. Such a movie or slideshow is called an “autoplay” movie or slideshow. You can also set the movie or slideshow to loop so that it plays continuously in what is called “kiosk mode.” This is great for creating presentations to be used in a kiosk or for making simple projects that require minimum viewer interaction.
To create a looping autoplay DVD:
Open iDVD and choose “Create a New Project” in the dialog that appears.
Type a name for your project in the Save As field, and then click Create.
The iDVD window opens with a default theme selected. This theme will not appear in your final DVD because an autoplay DVD does not use a theme.
Click the Map button (shown below) to open the DVD map.
Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos or Movies.
Drag a movie or a photo album, or even a single image, from the Media pane to the project icon (shown below).
You can also drag images or movies stored elsewhere on your computer or a connected server.
You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.)
To turn on looping for the autoplay movie or slideshow (a single image is also considered a slideshow in this context), click the project icon and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.
If you added a movie with sound, the audio of the movie is retained, so the viewer hears it during autoplay.
If you added a slideshow, you can double-click the project icon to open the slideshow editor. There you can add a single audio file or a playlist as a soundtrack and set other slideshow features, such as transitions and slide duration.
Click the Preview button (shown below) to see how your movie or slideshow looks.
The iDVD remote control opens, and your DVD begins to play immediately.
When you’re finished, click the Exit button on the DVD remote control to return to the iDVD window.
If you are sure your project is the way you want it, you can burn it to a DVD. When you put the final DVD into a DVD player, it begins to play immediately and will continue to play until you stop it.

Please help me install this audio player!

Hello anyone reading this,
I am very new to designing a website, and decided to venture out and add some audio to it. I am a piano instructor and am VERY determined to do this.
I recently purchased some files from this site:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component/advanced-mp3-player-with-play list-totally-customizable-xml-driven.html
That is the same exact one I purchased.
I recently engaged in a little email session with the author / developer and he was sending me emails that had a lot of technical language of which I couldn't understand. I needed help, and he didn't seem to pay much attention to my problem, just kept repeating the same thing.
I eventually was able to research his terminology and I finally got around to being able to comprehend his 'steps' listed for me to get this thing up and running.
He basically said everything I needed was in a folder titled 'deploy' ... and that I just copy that folder into my Dreamweaver site project , along with my images, root folder, etc. Ok, easy enough. I did that.
His next step was to insert the .swf file into my web page in Dreamweaver. Ok, easy enough. Did that. BUT, there is a problem. A fairly large grey box shows up with an F inside it. This is in 'design' view. In 'Live view', I see nothing at all of the player, just a large grey box with no F inside it.
The peculiar thing is that there are 3 files inside this 'deploy' folder that when I double click them ... a beautiful audio mp3 player pops up and performs perfectly. It's the real thing. Just when I insert the .swf file into my site, nothing at all happens. And this was what the guy told me to do.
Since then he stopped corresponding with me. Not sure why. Here are the files I have in 'Deploy'.
playlist.xml
playerstyles.css
playersettings_v4.xml
Mp3player_v4.swf
index.php
index.html
BG.jpg
AC_RunActiveContent.js
The 2 index files open up a perfect audio player as shown on the site. So does the Mp3player_f4.swf.
I also have a folder called 'scripts' that has 2 scripts listed for the audio player.
swfobject_modified.js
expressInstall.swf
Please oh please, if any of this makes any sense and if what I typed is a symptom of something, please help me. I am desperate as all the research I've done is getting me nowhere!!!

Your testing confirms my suspicion that it’s a pathing problem
“Then I tested out the index.html and the index.php files that are located in 'deploy'
They didn't work. no image at all ... nothing. “
That is working correctly. If you path it to work from the Web page, of course it will not work from “index.html” in the deploy folder… it’s not supposed to. It’s supposed to work from the Web page one folder level up. Did you test it from YOUR Web page after changing the paths?
“I noticed that as I said the index.html and the index.php didn't work ... but the mp3player_v4.swf STILL worked perfectly fine. All 3 of those files are under 'deploy'”
This is also to be expected, because when testing the .swf directly (not on YOUR Web page), the paths in the xml file to the mp3s is correct. But remember, when you place that .swf on YOUR Web page, you are removing the .swf from “deploy” and placing it in the same folder as your Web page….. it’s not in deploy anymore.
“Also, a peculiar thing happened as well as I was playing around with things. “
Well for testing you could take everthing out of “deploy” and move it into the same folder as YOUR Web page and just change the path on your web page to the .swf (delete the “deploy/” part). Now every thing is in the root folder, there is no deploy folder, only a “sound” folder which holds the mp3s and the palyer would work just fine, because RELATIVE to the location of the .swf on the WEB PAGE, all the paths are correct.
But then you don’t really learn how to resolve pathing issues.

Audio player inside

Hi guys,
is there any free widget that covers audio player with playback control inside Captivate? I want to make a button "more info" and play audio when you click on it with simple features (stop/pause and playback control).
Thanks a lot.

Image Ready code - yuck! What you have is a bunch of images
inside table
cells and no real html text or content for search engines to
grab onto.
Your layout is too rigid to work with. If you add text or swf
player, it
will break the page apart. My advice is twofold. Do not use a
graphics
program to generate html code for you.
Read this tutorial on Taking a Fireworks Comp to a CSS-based
layout in
Dreamweaver. Even if you use Pshop to design your layout, the
method is the
same.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt1.html
If this makes no sense, learn html + CSS:

Audio Player CSS Arrangement

Hello
Here is the difficulty and I do not know how to make the page elements behave.
This page is an effort to incorporate an audio presentation. I did manage to insert two
Pickle Players that play the audio. So that did work!
When I save in Dreamweaver CS3 and then preview in the browsers those two players are not visible. I have to upload to the server in order to preview the web page. I am unable to control how the two players are positioned on the page. I have one player on the left and the second on the right. I don't know how to position the second player to sit below the first player. I have no control over how to position the text. I wanted to add a description of the audio material below each player. I then wanted to complement the two player presentations with support archive photos.
In photoshop I could create layers and move the layers around until I achived visual harmony. In this example I am having difficulties. Ideally I would want in this effort to incorporate an audio player(s) into the web page along with textual information, a few support photos, a biography and so forth.
Here's is my sample page that I am working on - followed with the page's code.
Thanks

It looks like both of the players are nested within the same div. If you want them to sit one below the other, you will need to separate these into separate div containers.

Audio Player Widget - Muse

I have searched everywhere for a way to have a simple audio player on a web page in Muse and the code below when pasted into "Insert HTML" gives us the most basic HTML5 audio player.
<audio controls>
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>
This gets a basic audio player on the page and is fine if one doesn't mind the default look of the player. (Above Player shown in Safari)
Basically any audio player that looks different from this one above is going to have to be coded in some way and that's where the difficulty starts.
The only place that I have found on the Internet that has really small, minimal and clean audio players is at this site:
http://www.podsnack.com
which is set up for heavy duty traffic use of the player as their plans support 25,000 plays per day, which is way more than I need, however they do have 2 or 3 really nice looking tiny audio players that are completely editable color-wise that have a base look like these:
There are more examples here:
http://www.podsnack.com/mp3-player-examples/
I love the clean look of the 2 players above, and all the colors are changeable:
The main drawback with the podsnack site is that even the most basic plan costs $8 per month with a minimum 1 Year up-front payment of $96.00.
But, they are hosting the audio files on their servers and providing the skin of the player.
So far this is the only solution I have found to get a really small, clean visually customizable audio player onto a Muse website.
If Adobe could come up with a way to create some Audio Player Widgets that include some very small clean ones, I would find that to be a great asset to Muse.
I think that it would probably be easier for Adobe to design a widget that can play the audio file from the user's hosting server rather than Adobe's servers otherwise Adobe is going to be storing a huge number of audio files belonging to Muse customers.
The audio file can be placed on the user's hosting server in the same way that files such as pdf's are placed there when the user want to provide a link to download the pdf.
I am requesting that Adobe create some clean, customizable Audio Player Widgets.
Now that there are Widgets to place YouTube and Vimeo videos plus Social Media icons on pages, Audio Player Widgets are the next logical step.
Cheers,
Chris.

Well, I kept on looking for reliable ways to place simple HTML5 audio players onto pages and I really didn't come up with any useful solutuions.
Lots of open source JavaScript players etc, which I highly respect and trully wish I had a load of skill with, but I just found them to be out of reach at this time.
So, I broke down and coughed up the $96/year fee ($8/month) for the podsnack.com player set up and have found them to be absolutely effiortless to use and completely editable with regards to the look.
I have an example of some tiny players on a page here: http://amsondesigns.com/misc-files/podsnack-demo
And the Podsnack example page is here: http://www.podsnack.com/mp3-player-examples
BTW, I don't work for Podsnack!
If Adobe comes up with some Widgets that effectively provide what Podsnack are doing, then for me that will be the answer.
Until then I'm going to use Podsnack.
Cheers,
Chris.
