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

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.

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.

  • No "delete all" option for texts on 5800 Xpress Mu...

    Am I just blind, i thought this was standard on all phones (all the ones i've had before have had it).  I have to delete each text and message one by one which is tedious at best, is there a delete all option for the inbox/outbox that i'm just missing somewhere?
    Cheers.

    this is simple all you do is select mark all in options menu and then delete.

  • Play All option

    I've been making music videos of my granddaughter's softball team. Each video is a separate iMovie project running three and a half to five minutes, depending on the song I use. I export each video as a QT movie at full quality, then bring these into iDVD so the finished DVD will have three or four different videos on it.
    I did this earlier this year for her basketball team, and each video shows up on the menu screen as a selection that can be played. I wanted to add a "Play All" option like you see on many commercial DVDs, so all the videos can be watched in sequence without returning to the menu screen, however I could see no way to do this. You have to select one of the videos, it plays then returns you to the main menu when it finishes.
    Is it possible to have a Play All option when bringing multiple QT movies into iDVD? I've got version 3 of iDVD. If it doesn't work in that version, does anyone know if a newer version allows this?

    In iMovie, sequence what have been your separate iMovie projects into a single, compiled iMovie project. You can add chapter markers at the beginning of each segment.
    When you bring the single, compiled project into iDVD you can have the chapter markers automatically listed (see Preferences) on menus as scene/segment selection options. Or you can choose not to list the chapter markers as scenes and still have the capacity to fast-forward on the tv or monitor remote to move from segment to segment.
    Given that you have enough space on the DVD, then, you'll have one compiled movie and also separate movies for each segment. I personally like to access the segments as separate movies (as you've already arranged) rather than as scenes.
    I'm speaking from my experience with iDVD 4--hoping you have chapter markers in iDVD3!

  • 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.

  • Is there a play all button?

    if i add 3 projects to idvd to burn on the same dvd is there a play all button that will play all the clips without going back to the menu after each clip?

    Hi
    *Play all resp one chapter at a time*
    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.
    Mike Evangelist1
    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.
    3. Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.

  • Is there good project management options for OS X server?

    We are a small (3 person) shop and want to host our own project management solution. We would love to share project info and assign tasks etc... Does anyone do thin on their own server? We have used Manymoon and now Do.com.

    There are a few options for self hosted project management you can consider, but most are considerably more complicated to use than either Do or Manymoon.  Here are some examples of things you can look at, in order of declining 'project management' competence.  For each item there are others available I've not mentioned, but if you search for any of these you'll soon find the alternatives via Google.  So, have a look at:
    * Merlin - A full featured project management package a bit like MS Project, but runs native on OS X and has pretty functional iThing clients too (though they don't yet support iOS7...).  Quite expensive - but each client has the ability to share projects across a LAN (or WAN), so you can do stuff without buying the server app (which is very expensive).  Steep learning curve for app.  http://www.projectwizards.net/en/
    * ActiveCollab - a self-hosted php based groupware portal system.  Originally started as an open source competitor / complement of the earliest forms of Basecamp, it has long ago evolved into its own thing but filling broadly the same space.  Requires an Apache2/MySQL/PHP installation to run, and allows the sharing of information about projects, along with a fairly complex project management capability.  All the pros / cons of web based service apply.  Much easier to learn to use, and deploy than Merlin.  https://www.activecollab.com
    * Studiometry - a different take on the problem, this is an attempt at a whole-business management app for small firms, covering everything from sales pipeline tracking through to simple CRM and invoice management.  Has the ability to share files related to projects, and allocate / track tasks within a group.  Has clients for OS X, Windows and iOS.  As with Merlin, has network sharing abilities built into each client, so no need for a 'server' to make it work, but in practical terms you need an 'always on' copy to act as hub for an office.  http://oranged.net
    * BusyCal - a much simpler solution, but if you are looking to replace Do.com then it might be all you need.  Allows you to share calendar / task information on a LAN, and offers somewhat enhanced calendar functions to regular OS X.  http://www.busymac.com/busycal/

  • Is there a command line option for VNC to automatically launch in fullscreen mode?

    I can launch a VNC window from the command line, as such:
    open vnc://username:password@hostname
    ... but I'd like it to automatically start in full screen mode. Is there a command line option for this?
    I'm using an old MacMini purely to connect to another Mac over screen sharing, but when the MacMini boots I'd like it to go straight into the fullscreen of the other desktop.
    Many thanks!

    Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

    Hi Ersin,
    Exception 1 would seem to be FORMATTING_ERROR, which suggests something in the design of the Smartform.  However, that doesn't fit with the form being generated from a report, but only erroring when called from a function module.  I can think of no reason why the different calling method would be a factor.
    When FORMATTING_ERROR is raise it should also set a message ID and number, are you able to determine what they are?
    Regards,
    Nick

    Hello kumar kalptaru, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're wondering how to hang up a call besides using the Sleep/Wake button. 
    Other than this, you can tap the red hang up button on the Phone app. See the iPhone User Guide for more help:
    While on a call - iPhone
    End a call. Tap  or press the Sleep/Wake button.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy 

  • HT2534 I have just created an Apple Id for itunes, it is allowing me to get to the debit card stage but they no longer accept Visa Debit, there is no other option for me as i dont have any other cards and there isnt a 'none' option! HELP!!

    I have just created an Apple Id for itunes, it is allowing me to get to the debit card stage but they no longer accept Visa Debit, there is no other option for me as i dont have any other cards and there isnt a 'none' option! HELP!!

    How did you create the account ? Unless you followed the instructions on the page that you post from exactly then you won't get the 'none' option and you will need to enter payment details - those instructions won't work on existing accounts.
    I tried those instructions a week ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on it e.g. on my computer's iTunes I logged out of my existing account, found a free app in the store, clicked on its 'free' price, clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup, and after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as my payment option and download a free app with it.

  • HT1918 There's no none option for my payment method ?d

    How come there's no "none " option for my payment method?

    It may be that there is a balance on your account that needs to be taken care of before you can remove a credit card. If you are trying to create an account with a "none" option, see most of the threads to the right under "More Like This" including https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3929942
