Jumping back to Menu once clip ends

Hi
I've made a disc in DVDSP with a lot of video in it. Once a video plays it just hangs on black, how do i get all the videos to jump to the main menu once they've played out?
Cheers

Set the end jump for the track to where you want it to go

Doesn't jump back to menu at the end.

After playing the last chapter it would not go back to the main menu. What is the problem?
thanks,

Thanks a lot; I was looking for that jump feature until I got the answer. I had to double click on the track to get that. But what puzzles me that in all other projects I did not have to specify the jump feature. It worked without. I went to check the setting and it says jump NOT SET! Why did it jump?
Thanks anyway I will try to set jump to menu.

DVDSP plays video instead of programmed jump back to menu.

After playing one video clip, DVD is programmed to end jump to the menu, but instead, it plays another video clip, from a completely different menu. There is no doubt that the end jump is definitely to the menu, not to another video clip. What is causing this phenom?

Hal,
Yes, All the tracks are separate assets and separate tracks. The end jump for A is the menu from which it came.
(Menu 2, Button 2=play videoA - jumpback to menu 2) The tracks are on separate time lines.
I did fix the problem, but created a new one! (SEE BELOW, I'd love to see if you have anysuggestions for the new problem)
I think the program just freaked out.
It really did not make any sense at all. I tried to delete the one track that kept attaching itself to the wrong buttons. (track d)
(Menu 2, Button 2=play videoA - jumpback to menu 2, had become: Menu 2, button 2= play video A & video D from menu 4 button 3 then jump back two menu 2)
I deleted track D from it's proper menu and button, removed it as an asset in the button editor, removed it's button from it's menu, removed it from the graphical, and then went to remove it from the assets folder. But dvdsp told me that it could not be deleted from assets folder because is was "in use by track A and track B" That was wierd because the tracks were in no way linked.
So I deleted all the offending tracks A, D and B, and reimported them into assets and reprogramed them to the buttons in the appropriate menus.
That fixed that problem! Now the videos play as they should when the correct buttons are activated. BUT that created a new problem.
NEW PROBLEM:
Now I can not see images in the buttons for A,D, or B. That is to say, I've got fifteen buttons each is assigned a freezeframe from the buttons' target video (Button Asset). I see the video freeze frame in all the buttons except for these three. In those buttons, all i see is the background. They are all programmed just as the rest are in the button editor, the target video is assigned to the button and them the button asset is assigned to be same as target video, motion is NOT clicked as I want a single frame to be seen.
But even though the settings are the same for all the buttons, these three won't show up.
I'm thinking its like a memory problem.... but it can't be. I've got 4GHZ of ram and 400 Ghz hard drive, of which 290GHZ is available.
Any suggestions?

Jumping back to menu after chapter has palyed

Please help me. I have been going insane trying to work this out.
Here is the story. I have imported a project into dvdsp. It runs for 1hour and 45 minutes. Its of a guy playing basketball in the states. I have created four chapters which link to each of the games throughout the dvd. What I want to do though is have other links to special highlights and then at the end of the segment have it return to the menu. I have tried creating a seperate chapter for this but when it gets to the end of the special highlites it continues on to the next game. I dont want it to do this. I want it to link back to the main menu. Do I need to create these seperately in final cut pro and import it as a seperate track into dvdsp? As I mentioned, I have only one track imported with the main chapter markings olong the timeline. Am I being really stupid by missing something so easy or what. Thankyou in advance. Matty

Your a good man Drew. The light is getting brighter all the time. If you could clarify one thing for me that would be great.
Say I have marked on my basketball games video, chapters 1,2,3 and 4. these 4 chapters are linked to the different games. If I then want to link a highlite section - say of a guy shooting cool hoops- would I then have to go to the start point of this section in the video and make a chapter mark where it starts and another chapter mark where it finishes? These 2 new chapter marks would be numbered 5 and 6 because I already have chapters 1-4 for the games. Does it matter that chapters 5 and 6 may fall between chapters 2 and 3 on the video track. To me , it just seems strange that you have to set another chapter mark for the end point. I hope this makes sense Drew. If you could get back to me or even email me. [email protected] . Thanks mate.

2 menus: how do I end jump back to the menu I was just in?

Hello,
I'm fairly new with DVD SP, but am happily hacking my way around. From what I've read, I believe the answer to my question lies with Scripts, which I'm not familiar with and found the official documentation on it a little thin.
Perhaps someone can help out with the following...
I have 2 menus pointing to the same Track. That Track has several elements in it, all Chapter Marked. On the two menus, the buttons point to each of those tracks, and the chapters play fine.
The problem is with the end jump of each chapter. Currently, I have it set to return to Menu 1, but ideally, if my last chapter was selected from Menu 2, I would like for the end jump to send the user back to Menu 2, not Menu 1.
Again, I'm totally novice with scripts. If this is too complicated to explain, can anyone direct me to some documentation somewhere that would narrow this technique down for me?
Thanks in advance,

You can set the stories so that each one jumps to a different place
1.) Remove all jumps from the markers outside the story
2.) Make the stories by dragging the markers you want to play (they can be identical, so each story can play marker 1,2,3 for instance)
3.) If story A called from menu 1, set end jump for story A to menu 1

Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project. Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie. Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
1) Select the project in the Project Library.
2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
5) Then Share.
You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.

Consistent jump from animated menu to a transition clip in DVD Studio 4

Hi there,
did anyone know a possibility how a consistent jump out to a short transition clip in DVD Studio Pro 4 could be made?
My problem is, that there is a animated video background clip running as loop in a menu. If the button to the next sub-menu is activated a short transition clip should be played. But to get a consistent and smooth transition between the menu an the clip, the jump out should be done when the video is at the loop point. Only there the end and the start frame of the following transition video are equal.
I have searched solutions and tried different scripts but did not figure out any one with the expected function...
Did anybody have solved a similar problem before, or is there maybe a simple solution for it?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for reply to it.
Just to be shure...is there no way that when a user presses the button at any time, that I could trigger the jump to the next menu or clip to a fixed point (best the loop point) of that menu.(maybe by a GPRM used as counter)
A delay time between activating the button and the next action is the result and would be depending on the length of the animated menu. But that's OK if at the end a good transition will come up.

Video goes back to menu before reaching the end of the timeline.

Hi.
I´m having a problem with a Double Layer DVD project in Encore CS3: a 1 hour 30 minutes video goes back to menu before reaching the end for no apparent reason.
I don´t know if this is related to the layer break point of the DVD-DL. I just leave this setting in auto and burn the disc with Nero.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, I forgot to mention that I was burning the DVD disk with Nero, as I´ve read that Encore puts the layer break point in a weird way.
But after burning the disc with other aplication, the problem disappeared, don´t know why.
Sadly, now I have another different problems. I´ll open a different thread for them.

My trackpad is freaking out. It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it. It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words

My trackpad is freaking out. It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it. It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words. To my knowlege nothing's happened to the machine. I've checked for updates and there hasn't been any trama or anything. Is this a known problem with trackpads? What can I do? If I bring it down to the store will they need to replace the machine?
Advice?

I usually use my laptop while lying in bed, so it's tilted at odd angles. I've just noticed that this problem happens when I'm in that position but when I put the laptop on a table or even just sit up and use it's fine. ***.

Compressor frame count jumping back and forth

Hi guys,
I've never noticed this before, until last night when compressing a 25-minute film in Compressor at 'DVD-90 minutes, high-quality'. What in the past on this film might take an hour or so, last night took about 14 hours (i.e. all evening and through the night).
Compressor was advancing through the frame count, but then would return to an earlier frame, then jump forward through the frames again, then jump back to 10 or so frames earlier, advance forward, go back, etc. It took ages for it to get through a dozen frames or so.
It seems to me in the past when I observed Compressor, it works its way consecutively through frames, advancing forward one frame at a time.
I guess Compressor was reinterpreting data from an earlier frame, but is this normal? My film only has one of two video layers, up to 8 audio layers, some imported Motion QT files, and a very large PICT image file (scrolling end credits).
When examing the frame count where Compressor seemed to get bogged down, it appears it was towards the end of the 25-min. film (around the 42,000 mark). It seemed to be stuck there, jumping back and forth all night. Must have been when it was trying to digest the PICT end credits... Eventually it did complete the task and the export was OK.
If Compressor is having problems with the PICT (?), perhaps I'll test this out by putting my end credits on a seperate FCP sequence, export them as a QT file, then re-import that back into my film and see if Compressor is happier...
Any thoughts?

Ongoing changes? What do you mean exactly? Anytime you add filters to a clip and render you are slightly lowering the quality...slightly. But exporting, expecially via Compressor, will add even more. How many changes are you making?

Play All still jumps back too early

ok, I read some of the threads on this topic as well as the DVDSP manual.
Made a play all button along with 6 "stories".
The stories work ok but the Play all button runs through a couple of stories, then jumps back to the main menu before it has played the whole thing.
what would cause that?
best, M/

Hi
Check your markers; probably you added an End Jump to any of them by mistake.
Hope that helps !

Type jumps back

When I am typing , the cursor jumps back and ruins the sentence and I have to go back and very slowly fix that sentence. The same happens when I try to log in to any area, yahoo, facebook and others . I will type the user ID then press Tab to the next box and after I begin to type the cursor jumps back to the user ID box and will expose my password and make it so it can be read easily. How can I fix that?

I can only go back one page at a time because the drop-down jump back multiple pages feature is missing; how do I get this feature back?

On Firefox 3.6 the back and forward buttons also had a drop-down menu to enable me to jump back to one of the last, say, 10 pages I had viewed rather than only go back one at a time. Also, the reload button appears to be missing and I can't figure out how to bring these back. Otherwise, an awesome upgrade; thanks for all your hard work on this fantastic product.

You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.

After Update Bizarre jump back to Finder Behavior

I have always dutifully used Software Update to stay on top of things.
In some cases it has revealed problems. What a surprise.
The most recent update to 10.4.5, or the latest Security update has introduced an annoying behavior that doesnt make much sense and I wonder if anybody else has encountered it.
If I have multiple windows open (Safari, Mail, iPhoto...) after less than 30 secs. the user interface always jumps back to the Finder, no matter what I am doing. As I type this if I hesitate for more than a few seconds the keyboard wont respond because I am in the Finder again...GRRRR...irritating behavior. You then have to click on the window (Safari whatever it was you were doing) to then continue scrolling, typing whatever.
Anybody else? No its not Screen saver activating its like 15-30 sec delay and Bam back to the Finder.
I have reported this to AppleCare (mine just expired) and the case number is 60078651...the squeaky wheel gets greased if you experience the same issue use this case number to complain en masse.

Hi, f/64.
1. Well, you can delete the Finder preferences (see also my "Finder Issues? How to delete its preferences" FAQ) as macjack suggests, but I don't think that's the issue.
2. It sounds like some application or background process is actually switching the focus to Finder. Since this seems to have arisen after recent updates, this makes me suspect a Startup or Login Item that has been rendered incompatible by the update. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. A good way to avoid such problems with updates is to follow the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ.
4. You've not provided any information concerning your Mac itself: model, RAM, if you are using a third-party keyboard or mouse (brands of each), etc. so more details about your system would be helpful.
5. A couple of "off the wall" ideas:
• An errant folder action script. If you've not enabled any of these, don't worry about that.
• Some people have experimented with installing FrontRow on Macs which did not come equipped with such via a variety of hacks posted on the Internet. This has caused some problems, including the loss of all menu extras, the icons on the right side of the menu bar, and repeated crashes of SystemUIServer, which controls menu extras.
6. After the problem occurs, you may want to check Console for clues.
Good luck!

My playlist keeps jumping back

I will be listening to a playlist on my iPhone 4s for a few songs and then pause. A few hours later I will come back to the music App and press play, but it will start playback from the song that I started with last time. So I have to skip any number of songs to get back to where I left off on the playlist. It does this with playlists or when I listen to my entire library on shuffle. Sometimes it keeps jumping back to the same song, no matter how many times I've paused and restarted. Every once in a while it will remember where I left off, but 9 times out of 10 it does not. This is really annoying since I want to listen to the whole playlist, but have to keep skipping through songs to get back to where I was without having to listen to repeats. Any ideas?

I have the same problem on my iPhone 5S, and it is annoying. There may be a fix, however. Go to the Control Center, it seems you can start your playlist where you left off. I'd prefer to be able to do it in Music.app, or at least to have a preference that lets me continue where I left off in the playlist.
Another thing I noticed. When you add albums to a playlist, it seems the "add all songs" button is missing. That's kind of annoying when the album has lots of songs.
