Is there a 'play all' function?

i have four episodes on idvd, they all play fine, after each episode it then returns to the menu i then have to play the next episode manually, is there a way so that i could add a 'play all episodes' function so that they automatically play back to back? thanks

Hi
*Play All Button*
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
• Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.

You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

Is there a "play all" feature for videos on iphone4????

Is there a "play all" feature for videos on iphone4????

Hi Robin
Welcome to apple discussions. I use Toast (personal choice only) in this situation since it has a play all check box. But then you don't get the fancy menus.
Click Here
There is no such check box within iDvd for selecting play all but you can set up iDvd's preferences to address scene selection menus when a movie/s is added. And here's how you do that:
A second option might involve adding the 8 separate movies to the slideshow feature within iDvd for continuous play. And yes you can add photos as well as movies to idvd's slideshow feature with a number of added benefits which I won't go into here. But if you want more info on this procedure just look at a few of Old Toad's prior posts / replies on this iDvd forum.

Is there a 'Play All' option for DVD menu?

Hi,
I was hoping someone can possibly help here... I have created a DVD menu in iDVD with 8 separate movie items each with their own button (with underlined feature), but with no sub menus or additional pages.
Incidentally, these items are home movies, transfered from old Hi8 tapes, edited in iMovie then added to iDVD.
The 8 items have all successfully loaded to the iDVD menu and will play when each item is selected (in test mode).
However, I was hoping to also add a 'Play All' button so that the whole DVD content can be played as one continuous piece if required, rather than being limited to being able to play only individual items at a time and then having to return to the menu page in order to select the next item.
Please can anyone offer any help here? I'm very new to Macs/iDVD etc so simple, basic guidance would be much appreciated!!!
Many thanks,
Robin-UK

Playing movies sequentially or "Play All" function in iDVD

I have several 5-minute movies that I'll be burning to DVD. It's easy enough to have a button for each movie on the main menu screen, but is there a way to add a button to play all the movies on after the other?
I realize I could copy each movie into one big iMovie and use chapter marks at the start of each "sub-movie", but that's a lot of copying & pasting and opening & closing (I'm using iMovie 5). So if there's an easier way to do it in iDVD, then I'd prefer to take that route

Hi desertcanine:
I think the iMovie route you mentioned may be the way to go...read this discussion:

Is there a "play-all" type feature?

Hi...I'm making my first DVD with iDVD and I was wondering if there is a way to have a "play-all" option. Basically, I have a bunch of small video clips in a sub-menu that I would like to have the option of viewing individually or all in a continuous mode, similar to what you would see on a movie's special features.
I have searched and know that you can "loop" videos together, but it looks like if you do this, then you don't have the option of playing them individually. Is there a way to create an optional "play all" feature?
Any info would be great. Thanks!

Not as you are describing, but you can do a work around. Move your clips into imovie and create a continous movie.During the process add in chapter markers between your clips. Then share the project to idvd. You will get a play movie (to play the entire movie and a scene selection menu that will have your individual movies in it. You can then rename the play movie and scene selection buttons to whatever you want. Or, you can click on folder icon at the bottom of the screen and move the clips around.

Best way for play all function

i am making a dvd with 30+ three minute clips. they will be split up into different catagories. so each menu will have about 4-5 clips with seperate play buttons, and their end jump target will be the corresponding menu. i want to make a play all button without laying all clips on another track and setting that target. do i have use a script to do this, or is there another way to go about it.
thanks in advance

There are two basic approaches to creating a play all situation - the first uses stories and the second uses scripts. If you use stories then there are two approaches to that - first off, you can make a story for each individual clip so that you can play just that one clip and then go back to the menu. If you do this then the play all will be a button that points to the actual track. The markers in the track must not have jumps - the story containers will need an end jump and menu call setting though.
The second method using stories is to place end jumps on the individual markers to go back to the right menu. You can then add a single story and place ALL markers in that. This single story becomes your 'play all'. If you do put end jumps on the markers then you limit the possibilities for navigation, unless you then set the end jump to go to a script to evaluate where to go on from there.
In both cases all of the clips are in a single track. You can mix and match chapters in stories as you wish, placing groups of markers together in a story so that only that group plays through... think of a story as a play list and you will get the idea - add the markers that you want to play through, and away you go.
If you want to set this up with scripts then there are several possibilities. However, unless you have all of the clips as separate tracks then there really is no need to script it at all - stories should give you all that you need. You might use a script or two to get the navigation better, but with careful planning you won't even need this.

Play All track (with Story functions) not working

I'm using a single track as my Play All function for a dvd of several short films and using Story functions to have the individual films play from their own menus.
But the Play All track won't play all the way through though it does if I press >| (next chapter) button on my remote control. Each film plays fine from its own menu as an individual track though.

Play All Story would include all markers, a story to just play a section would include the marker for just the one section. You can put the markers in any order you like and can duplicate the markers. If you drop all the markers in the next button will work until the last marker in the story, then there will be no other marker left (but you can put a "fake" marker in the track to jump to for the last real marker)

In the current "Podcast" app is there a way to play ALL episodes of ALL podcasts chronologically from oldest to newest like there was in the "Unplayed Episodes" list of the original "Podcast" app?

In the original version of the Podcasts app there was an "Unplayed Episodes" list that listed ALL the episodes of ALL the podcasts I had loaded on to my device, and I could listen to them in chronological order from oldest to newest.
In the new Podcasts update I see a list called "All Unplayed" but when I select a podcast from there it plays all the episode of JUST THAT podcast, without switching between podcasts to whatever episode on my device is chronologically next.
Is there a way to listen to my podcasts chronologically across Podcast series and I'm just missing it or did Apple screw the pooch on this one?

Please, please, please... I wonder if the solution of deleting the Podcast App and using the Music App again would work. My favorite sports radio station splits up their podcasts by DJ (logical), but I want to listen to all podcasts from one day from all DJs. No longer automatic :(
Apple developers, if you read this please add this feature - you had it in Music App.

Chapters and Play all - how do I get this to work with a one hour project?

Hi
I have a one hour project and at the moment I have it in one track with a Main Menu, Chapter menu and a bridge menu for the loop point.
I have 5 chapters and want 2 functions to happen in my DVD structure:-
1. the Play All function
2. and the Chapters to play each individual chapter and then go back to the Chapter menu when it;s finished.
As my project is now, the play all feature won't work, it is like it's the CHapter menu.
In the past I've had a track for the play all and then separate tracks for each chapter. Is there a way around this - do I have to do that fancy encoding (which I have no idea how to set up.
I have 5 chapters and would love some help to construct this as I don't think the 2 hours would fit on my single layer DVD and it would be a lot more exporting work.
Hope you can help.
Cheers
Margie

You may want to use scenarios in this situation.
click the "add a scenario" button, an add as many scenarios as you have chapters.
Then double click on each scenario option.
You will see a list of chapter appear on the left of your timeline area.
Drag the chapter you want to play solo to the empty list on the right ("scenario markers").
Make sure you then select that chapter marker in the scenario Marker list, and choose "end jump: main menu". Also make sure that your gobal scenario end jump is set to your main menu too.
Then link you buton to that scenario and repeat for the other chapters.
hope that helps.

New iOS play all video is gone

The "play all" function is gone with the new iOS. This is great for my daughter, anyone know how to get it back?

Well. If they're not there, they're not there.
But I bet your music files are still there!
Look in here, do you see music files?
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
If so, just drag all those files from WIndows Explorer into the iTunes library window.
If your daughter had a lot of ratings, the ratings will be lost, but she'll have the music back.
Here is a better explanation by Buegie.

How do I get a "PLAY ALL" button on the main screen for iDVD?

I spent a lot of time creating a DVD with pictures and music, and the main screen when I play the DVD shows all of the different scenes, but when I click on one of the scenes, it won't continue to the next one. I have to individually plan every scene in order to watch the whole DVD, rather than just clicking on the first scene and letting it play through. How do I make it so that I can either create another button that will play the whole DVD through or make it so that it continues to the next scene after the previous one is finished??

You can't create a 'play all' button with iDVD. All your separate scenes are separate movies as far as iDVD is concerned. You need to assemble all you separate scenes into one movie in iMovie and then insert chapter markers if you want separate entry points.
Apple's pro DVDSP does let you link movies to obtain a play all function.

"Play all" with all individual time lines?

I am trying to see if I can create a "play all" function that would play through all of my individual time lines. I am trying to avoid having to go back to premier and make another sequence that has all my footage on one sequence.
Any thoughts??
Thank you in advance.

And you can create Playlists, that say play Timeline 01, 03, then 06, and return to the Menu. Same thing with the order. It could play Timeline 05, 03 then 01, before return. You can order the Playlist to suit your needs. Just do each separately, and name them uniquely.
I often have a "Play All" Playlist, where the Timelines play in order, 01 through XX, and then other Playlists that perhaps feature just one person, and the Timelines only reflect "scenes/chapters" in which that person appears.
Playlists are wonderful and useful tools.
Good luck,

Creating chapters and play all

hi, i have a concert film. i recorded all the footage in by song, so i have 12 5+ minute files. I want to make a play all function, so the dvd will just play each song right after the ones before it. basically, how do i make each song a chapter and play all capabilities. i already made it so each song is its own film, but once the song ends, it retunrs to the menu....

In iMovie or iDVD, you can edit the songs one after the other in the same timeline to create one movie. Drop that movie into iDVD and you will get a movie that plays the songs in sequence. Also, in iDVD, you can a chapter for each song to give viewers the options of going to each one
With the lengths you are dealing with, you could still put each song as a separate movie into your DVD is you so choose

Is there a way to have one flash player play all moives on a web page ?

Hi,
Is there a way to have one flash player play all movies on a web page ?   For example, you have a list of FLV movies on a page and you click on any them and it will play on the same player on the web page. Or does each movie needs it's own ?
Thanks in advance..
Peter

Yes, for the design I made, the movies are loaded from the server. Here is the code for the design. It is done using AS2, and the stage includes two buttons (s1, s2) for playing the individual videos, one button to play them both (playall), one after the other, and the video object (video1_video) that was added via small menu you find at the top of the library panel's frame.
I cannot say this would work directly for your implementation, but it gives you some things you can look into so that you can figure out how.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
// ignore whatever code is above this... the forum added it, not me
stop();
ncount = -1;
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
stream_ns.setBufferTime(3);
stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
        for (var prop in infoObject) {
               if(infoObject[prop] == "NetStream.Play.Stop" && ncount == 0){
                   video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
                   stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
                   ncount += 1;
playall.onRelease = function(){
      ncount = 0;
      video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
      stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
s1.onRelease = function(){
      video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
      stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
s2.onRelease = function(){
      ncount = -1;
      video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
      stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
I don't deal with video very often, so I have not created an AS3 version of this.

Is there a 'play all' function?
