Intro video moving to menu smoothly

I am working on DVDSP2 and wish to have an intro movie that plays prior to moving to the menu. My menu is created from the last frame of the intro movie, so I want it to move smoothly from one to the other. I get about 2-3 seconds of white before it goes to the menu.
Any way to avoid this? Even to make it black?

Ive seen this a few times too, however it only happened in the simulator.
Once the disc was burnt it played normally.
Maybe you should do a build and format, and create a disc image. Mount the disc image by double clicking it and view it on your Mac using the Apple DVD Player and it will behave as if it were an actual disc.

  • Possible to have an intro video play before menu?

    This may be a DVD Studio Pro task, but am wondering if it's possible, in iDVD, to have a short (5 sec) video clip play first thing, before the menu appears.
    Thanks in advance!

    No need for DVD SP - you can easily do it in iDVD 6.
    In the map view, the well on the left is the autostart well for content that will play before a menu shows. Just drop your short video in that well.

  • My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video.  Is there some step I am missing?

    Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode.  Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.
    Click to view full size
    If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player.  Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

  • Strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image

    hello all,
    got a strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image,
    menu size is 1920 x 1080 (photoshop file)
    mpeg2 video 1920 x 1080 (1second 19 frames)
    the idea is to go from the menu link to the next sub menu with a video as transition, using the same image on the video as the menu and then zooming in (in my case through a door) to end up after the zoom in the next level menu.
    I try to achieve a smooth change from the first play menu picture to the video image into the next level menu picture,
    everything works good but when I watch it on the preview mode on the left and right side of the video it shows a black bar at least 15 to 25 pixel wide, that means the video image appears smaller and it causes a little jump what is preety disturbing and can not be sold as a professional work.
    why encore treats the video size and picture differently?
    it's gratful appreciated if somebody who got experience in a transition I mentioned obove posting any solution,
    thankl you all

    Hi all
    I'm having a very similar problem with Encore. My menu items are distorting (a minor but infuriating squashing top and bottom) when previewed.
    Using Encore,PS,AE CS4
    DVD format SD PAL DV widescreen
    I created 3 menu frameworks and 3 video transistions to link them in AE. On the final frame of each transistion in AE I saved the frame with Composition>Save Frame to> Photoshop Layers. In PS i added the button functionality and saved.
    In Encore I use Dynamic link to import AE transistions as timelines and imported each PS menu twice, once as "menu" and once as an asset.
    When I link the timeline transistions to the menu and preview at the point the menu begins the whole image is squashed. When the next transistion is activated the image returns to its original size.
    Thinking it was the use of PS that was causing the menus to distort I used the menu asset directly in the time line. Obviously no menu functionality but also no distortion. The AE transistion flowed straight into the "menu" just as I expected.
    In the properties panel the menu Aspect Ratio 16:9
    The AE transistions PAR is SD PALwidescreen 1.4587.
    I did try the Blu Ray suggestion above but the same distortion was apparent.
    Any suggestions short of squashing the video to match the menu would be welcomed.
    Thanks

  • Buttons Over Video In A Menu?

    Hi,
    I created a 40-second motion menu (Menu 1 in the scheme of things) with a music track. I will put "Play Movie" and "Scene Selection" buttons in this menu, but I want to them to appear about 15 seconds after the menu starts playing. Is there a way to do this? I know you can put buttons over video for the main video track at any time, but how about a looping menu?
    TIA,
    James

    What I did was add my short intro video to the end of my main video track (V1) in the Track Editor, and add a chapter marker between them. Then I set the First Play setting of the disk to that chapter marker. Then I set the disk's End Jump setting to Menu 1 (my main menu with highlighted navigation buttons). This was pretty simple to do and it looks seamless during simulation.
    So, the disk will play the intro video first, then jump to to the main menu.

  • Loop Point in the intro video

    Hi guys
    When a viewer inserts a DVD into a DVD player I want this to happen:
    1) The introduction video must play (it's about 20 seconds long).
    2) This intro video must lead the viewer to the main menu.
    3) During the intro video, the viewer must not be able to skip the intro video (like in the normal DVDs, where you have to wait for FBI warnings to first finish displaying before you can gain control of the remote again).
    I know that I can use a loop point to "freeze" the viewer's remote control buttons for the loop point duration, but it seems like this only works at the main menu stage.
    I there a way to make the loop point work for the intro video?
    'i'Many thanks

    JBowden
    Many thanks for your quick reply!
    Regarding your last point "set the timeline's user operations to prohibit anything" - I did the following:
    1) I clicked on the timeline tab, then clicked on the timeline of my intro video.
    2) Under the properties tab, at the operations area, I clicked on the "set" button & chose "none" under the permitted user operation dialogue box.
    3) I clicked OK, and then clicked on preview. If I click the remote control title button, the intro video gets cut off and I land immediately at the main menu. Exactly what I don't want! Any other suggestions?

  • Intro clip plays before menu starts, but has a few frames of black. I need it to be seemless, please help!?!?

    Hello,
    So Im in Encore 6. I have a timeline with video and audio selected with first play, so it plays as an intro before the main menu.
    The intro clip connects to the menu, however there are a few black frames during the transition to the main menu and I need this to be seamless.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You won't know until you play from a disk whether it is seamless or not. The Encore preview is not reliable.

    hope someone can help!

    May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget.  I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field,  the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
    It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you. 
    Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

  • How to export video that plays back smoothly?

    I have an HD project in Premiere Pro CS4 that is about 9 minutes.  When I render out to Flash for the web, once it's all buffered it plays back real smooth.  So the client wants a copy of the "file" to be played on his computer running Windows and Windows Media Player which he will attach to a large 55" flatscreen via HDMI at a trade show.  I rendered out several different files ranging from .MOV to H.264 in various resolutions (1920x1080, 1280x720p, 720x480 wide, iPod, etc.) and tested them on my Dell Inspiron i3 laptop running Windows 7 Home 64 bit connected to my 46" tv via HDMI to simulate what the client would have.
    The 1920 file was huge (2GB) as one would expect and plays back jerky
    The 1280x720p .MP4 file was about 400mb which I was excited about, but plays back jerky
    The other two (.MOV and .MP4) at 720x480 play back smoothly
    So I'm guessing that it's either a disk / processor issue with playing back the larger files or combo of that and the graphics card or am I having an issue with the way the settings are set in the export options?
    The box I'm producing the video on is a Mac i7 quad-core, 8GB RAM and a nice ATI card.  The full rez versions of the files play fine on it.  BluRay is out too.  Don't have a burner and they don't have a player.
    So what file format and settings can I render out that will yield smooth(er) results at larger resolutions for my intended output?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    And the answer is.... converting the footage to WMV.  Tada.  I exported a nice huge HD 1920x1080 H.264 file and then used iSkysoft Video Converter to convert it to WMV.  Now the only thing is that iSkysoft Coverter only allows 1280x720 as it's largest resolution for WMVs, but even so, the quality on a 46" LCD TV coming from a laptop via HDMI looks pretty sharp.  The video was running very smooth (and it was running off a USB key <g>) to boot.
    The file size of the original HD H.264 file:  9.02GB
    The file size of the converted WMV: 437.5MB
    All in all I'm happy with this breakthrough.  I was "this" close to buying a BluRay burner, media and telling the client to use a BluRay player.
    Now... I love what I got, but it could be better.  Does anyone know of a good video converter that will convert WMVs to true HD resolution (1920x1080) or is that 1280x720 a WMV limit?
    Thanks all,
    Steve

  • Accidentally renamed an LP cover for a Deadmau5 album now it won't play the intro video, any suggestions?, Accidentally renamed an LP cover for a Deadmau5 album now it won't play the intro video, any suggestions?

    When i was trying to play the LP cover to show a friend the intro video of the Deadmau5 "helmet" being put together through the animations, it highlited the song name and I typed in deleting the original name. The whole LP works however the intro video will not play, suggestions to resolve this problem?

    Figured out in another forum--it was the Album Artist field that also needed to be changed.

  • Restoring new MacBook to intro video for Christmas present after install

    Ok, king of the stupid questions:
    How do I restore the new MacBook to pristine, turn it on and get the full effect first time intro video? I just got a new CoreDuo 13" black laptop for my fiance for Christmas. I installed Office and a couple of other things, set it up to connect wirelessly to my network, etc. But, I would like her to turn it on and get the full-on Welcome, Bienvenido, Wilkommen, etc. video that Apple had set it -- I was impressed.
    I know, I know. Why didn't I let her do the install, the set up, and let her enjoy the new Mac experience -- this is her first. I'm ditching her Gateway once she transitions. Well, she doesn't care about or have time for that crap. I know she'll love it, but now she's focused on kids, school, and me, and computers are tools to do her homework, etc.
    I'm sure it's an easy fix, like deleting a cookie or prefs file. But, I don't want to mess around with her new box too much. I'm even going to wipe my greasy fingerprints off before I rebox it for Christmas.
    Help.
    Thanks,

    You might have a look at THIS discussion from the other day. If you follow what I instructed and also what Kappy added (very important) you should be able to give your fiance a "new" MacBook for Christmas.
    Bad boy. You shouldn't play with her present.

  • Why don't videos don't play smoothly? They take forever to buffer

    I'm running FireFox 11.o on Windows XP. I clean my history and cookies. I defrag. My add-ons and plug-ins are up to date. I've gone into about;config and played with the dom.ipc.plugins and changed them true/false each one. Why won't the videos I want to watch play smoothly? I use VLC media player and Windows media player and enabled and disabled each one to see if a video will play better on one or the other. No change on the players. Can you recommend anything else I can do to see why videos won't play smoothly?
    Thanks in Advance.

    try firefox in safe mode and see whether it is happening again

  • HD videos don´t run smooth

    I am very disappointed to see that HD videos don´t run smooth.
    Size is 1280x544 so I expect it to run OK but it´s not the case: it freezes for a second every now and then. Maybe is it the bit rate that is too high. Then what would be the limit?

    HD video plays very smooth on mine. I can even play a full 1080p video very smoothly. It really depends on the codec of the video. For example, any 1080p video and trailers downloaded from sony's playstation network run great without and choppy frame, lag, or problems.
