Jumping to button highlight start positions?

Hi... I was thinking that through SPRM 8, I would be able to have the ability to jump to the start of a subtitle stream and begin playback, but perhaps I misunderstood the usage of SPRM 8?
Is this not possible?
It appears that SPRM 8 is always 1024, because I only have one hidden button-over-video throughout my project. This button takes you to different secondary video clips by pressing enter at different times through the main video-- I am trying to figure out how to return back to the subtitle stream you were at when you pressed enter after the 2ndary video finishes playing...
Does it have to be done with chapter markers? I am hoping that is not the case.
-patrick

Yeah.. That's what I meant-- my button over video.
Hmm.. well it doesn't appear to be working, and I'm not sure why..
Here's my method:
my main menu has a prescript:
sets GPRM 0 to 0
Playing the main video has a prescript
sets GPRM 0 to 1
then the end jump on all my secondary videos is set to a script labeled "end jump" which has this:
1 Goto 4 if (GPRM 0 = 0)
2 mov GPRM 3, SPRM 8
3 Jump MAIN VIDEO [GPRM 3]
4 Jump SECONDARY MENU
... So, the point of this is:
If you watch 2ndary videos from the menu, they will return to the menu containing these videos.
However, if you are watching the 2ndary videos from the BOV links in the main video, then it should return you back to the start of that button over video position.
-- But.. when I check my log, it shows SPRM 8 is always at 1024-- And I assumed this was because there is only one hidden BOV at any given time.. So if between 2:00-3:00 there is a button that takes you to 2ndary video #1, and between 4:00 to 5:00 it takes you to 2ndary video #2, etc..
But even more alarming-- I only see 4 BOV options to select via END JUMP, and I have 25 in the video-- and I've tested them.. they all work.. So I am really confused why they aren't showing up..
You can see here some screenshots:
http://www.collinatorstudios.com/www/bovs.png
here you see that there is "rolling wave", "rolling lunge" etc... Yet here:
http://www.collinatorstudios.com/www/endjumps.png
you see that only the chapter markers are options, as well as "belly up belly down" and a couple others-- and this is only because those markers are set to both "chapter" AND "button highlights"
On a side question, is it impossible to tell the dvd player to skip to "XX:XX" time on a disc?? I can't seem to find any information about this, and it seems odd that it would not be possible-- even laserdisc players back in the later 70s and early 80s could do this.
thank you!

  • Menu button highlight order with dvd remote

    Hi I am using DVD studio pro 4 on a mac book pro.
    When I simulate my project and use the dvd remote to naviagate from menu to menu I have noticed that some menus start with the first button highlighted and some with different buttons highlighted.
    I have used target menu to link them together rather than link the menu to the exact menu/button1. Ideally I want each menu to start with the first button highlighted and ready to go, but I don't know how dvd sp sets the order and how I can fix this without relinking.
    Many thanks for your help

    Hi
    Check in Inspector Menu Properties the Default Button setting. That must be the button highlighted by default when you open a menu. Try simulating just the menu and check what button you get highlighted by default.
    Be aware that when creating connections you can jump to a apecific menu button. You could by mistake be connecting that way.
    Hope that helps !

  • Curser start position

    How do i get the curser to be in the txt box i want it to be in the beginning...
    also is there a way i can chose which txt box it goes to when i hit tab and i hate it when
    i hit tab and it goes to the bottom play and pause buttons... can i stop that?  thanks.. Im new 

    Hi there
    For the mouse, you may only adjust the starting position on the first slide where it appears. Every slide after that uses the stop position of the slide before as the start position for that slide. If you need to adjust it, duplicate the slide and remove all objects except the mouse. Change the mouse to the new desired starting point and adjust the mouse and the slide so the play time is super brief. Perhaps .1 seconds.
    As for the tabbing, you may need to insert a Click Box that doesn't do anything if it is clicked. This would then receive the tab focus and keep it from the playback controls. Or, you could visit fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst's site linked below and download a gizmo that will remove the highlight.

  • Set Start Position to Calculate Travel Time in Calendars

    Hi All,
    I am quite impressed with the new traveling time feature in Calendars, however I cannot seem to get the best out of it.
    Is there a way to reset the start position for the calculations, I am thinking about the following senario;
    Three appointments in the same day Appointment one calculates OK but appointment two calculates the start from the office and not the location of appointment one. Same thing happens with appointment three.
    What I want to do is set the first appointment, calculate travelling time, set the second and calculate the traveling time from appointment one and then the same with appointment three.
    The only way I have found to do this is to jump back and forward between calendar and maps and manually calculate like I used to do before this update.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    This solved my questionRe: Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home Oct 23, 2013 8:43 PM (in response to theglenlivet12)
    From Calendar's help:
    To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.

  • IDVD 6:  Menu Buttons Highlight Incorrectly

    I've been trying to take two podcasts and burn them to a DVD.  Initially I tried starting directly with iDVD 6, but it wouldn't encode the second podcast.  I then started with iMovie to encode the clips before I added them to iDVD.  The podcasts are widescreen, so I selected a theme that would also be widescreen.
    For the first DVD I burned, my widescreen portable DVD player interpreted the main menu as 4:3, cutting off some of the text of the menu options.  I tried playing the DVD on a computer (not sure if it was in Windows or on the Mac), and although the menus were displayed as 16:9, the highlighting of the buttons is way off the actual buttons.  Another computer's DVD player application highlighted the buttons correctly.
    After reading some of the tips involving myDVDEdit, I copied the burned image files to a folder, changed the files to read and write, and changed the settings on the menus to the most flexible 16:9 option (auto Pan & Scan and Letterbox).  When I burned a DVD with these changes, the widescreen portable DVD player would display the DVD with black bars all around (but without cutting anything off).  On a computer, the button highlighting still does not match the actual location of the buttons.
    Are there any other settings that I can adjust to (1) fill the entire screen on my portable DVD player and (2) align the button highlighting to the actual buttons?  Thanks in advance.

    The -34506 error. Welcome to a world of frustration and wasted evenings. There are plenty of threads here with suggestions on 'rules' for setting up your slideshows in iMovie, clearing caches, creating new users etc. These have fixed this particular error for some people.
    Good luck!

    ## Oops! - I should have read your post more carefully the first time. Hey, at least you have a new number, even if it does provide as little real information as to what the source of the error is as the one I mention!

    -- NOTES FOR DEVELOPERS --
    -- The main handler is GoForward, which is triggered by mouseUp.  The Initialize
    -- handlers checks if the global gNavigationButtonList variable has the right
    -- structure, or creates it if it does not already exist.
    -- USE OF 'JUMP BACK/FORWARD BUTTON' BEHAVIORS
    -- Information about what markers have already been visited is stored in a
    -- global variable: gNavigationButtonList.  As a global, this variable is
    -- available to all navigation behaviors, on any sprite in any movie.
    -- gNavigationButtonList has the following structure:
    --   [#stack [...], #index: [...], #forward: [...]]
    -- Each of the subLists has the structure:
    --   [[#frame: <integer>, #movie: <movieName>], [...]]
    -- #index is not currently exploited.  It provides a list of all markers
    -- visited, in the order of their first visit.  It could be used to create
    -- a pop-up menu, or to check if a player had visited a particular scene.
    -- When the 'Jump Back Button' is activated, the marker nearest to the playback
    -- head is appended to the #forward list.  When the 'Forward button'is
    -- activated, this last item is copied to a local variable,then removed from
    -- the #forward list.  Information concerning the current marker is appended to
    -- the #stack, so that users can once again use the 'Jump Back Button'.
    -- Going explicitly to "frame x of movie y" triggers the movie's
    -- prepareMovie and startMovie handlers.  If the most recently visited
    -- marker is in the current movie, the command "go frame x" is used instead.
    -- USE OF "PUSH BUTTON" BEHAVIOR
    -- The "Push Button" behavior can be used to deal with the rollover and
    -- mouseDown states of the "Jump Forward Button".  When this behavior is
    -- initialized, it asks each behavior on the same sprite to return a
    -- behavior reference, if it happens to be the "Push Button" behavior.  If
    -- a reference is returned then the "Jump Forward Button" sets the button's
    -- enabled state to indicate whether the #forward list currently contains
    -- frames to jump to.

    Hey there ZeldaFan29,
    It sounds like you have some songs that are skipped when using the forward and back buttons on your iPod nano, and that leads me to believe that maybe these songs are skipped over when you are playing your playlist in the iPod as well. I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:

  • CS3 Mac: Button highlights preview and show on computer but not set top player

    Hi,
    I have a pretty simple project on CS3 Mac Encore (all Apple & Adobe updates except Quicktime is 7.3.1). It consists of three menus which started as Photoshop files with the button overlays done in Photoshop.
    I have been DVD authoring a long time on DVD Studio Pro and am an expert with After Effects, so I had no problems setting up the DVD on Encore. It previews perfectly, and when I burn it to DVD, it plays perfectly on my Mac. However, when I tried to play it on two different set top DVD players (both high quality - one JVC and one Panasonic) the button highlights do not show up at all -- you can't tell at all which button is active.
    I hunted through the posts here and at other forums, and the only suggestions that I have found are that it might be a corrupted project. I have tried trashing the preferences, repairing permissions, and rebooting, and the problem persists. It is a very new installation (I recently formatted the drive, and installed a fresh OS with Apple's suite and Adobe's suite because of the recent Quicktime 7.4 bug).
    So... I will try to create a new project and see if this still happens. In the meantime, has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks,
    Graham Jones.

    I'm having the same problems with a very simple dvd I created. 1 main menu (static background image and buttons from the encore library) and 1 scene selection menu (static background with the same button). Ouput to dvd -r and have 100% playback on computer, but I'm having varied playback on set top players. The dvd's play, but button highlight is not visible. The dvd will navigate as long as you count the clicks of the remote... I have duped 40 copies and my client couldn't play them on several different dvd players he has. We have tried them on several of our own players and not found a problem, but I traveled to his site and checked myself; they don't work. The 2 players that wouldn't display the highlights are a jvc dr-mv5su and a brand new durabrand sts96. I have re-created my dvd using dvd architect and they play fine on all the players (using a standard underlined text highlight). Any suggestions??? I really don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but I am new to Encore CS3 Mac.

  • No Button Highlights On Build

    I've recently created a DVD where the menu will preview properly within Encore (5.5/Windows 7 64 bit) but when burned no button highlights show up.  I've verified that my aspect ratio is correct for the menu -16X9.  I've even tried saving my menu in PhotoShop and renaming the highlight layers =2 and =3, and then reimporting them after clearing the media cash to no avail.  This is really frustrating.  I can not get the highlights to show up.  I can play the DVD but I'm navigating blindly (outside of Encore's preview).
    I've taken to creating a separate stripped down version of the project just to mess with the menu.  I change something and create a DVD folder on my dard drive.  Again nothing shows up when playing from the folder like it does from the Encore preview.  I've tried using different menu templates from within Encore and still nothing.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Todd

    I have completely started the project from scratch.  After trying many menu options, I found a menu that seemed to work properly and have begun modifying it (color, font) to see if that will work.  My test burn without modifications seems to have worked.
    My layer names were proper throughout this situation.  I'm going to try this today and burn another test.

  • Never made a button highlight...not once!

    Well time for the truth, been using DVD Sp for allmost 2 years read the manual many times and consulted this web site.
    I gotta admit I have never made a button in photoshop and brought it into DVDsp and made the thing highlight when you cursor over it. Anyone care to write a step by step for this. i have done many work arounds like uhh not have my custom buttons highlight or better yet for corporate clients just use pre exisiting templates...but I think I should start the new year out with this bit of info. Big thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to take the time to do this.(Assuming I have my layered button in a PSD)
    Also have updated to DVD Sp 4 (from ver 2)and old templates have lost BG's, anyone else had this happen?
    happy New year all!

    First step is page 88 of the DVDSP4 manual. The three steps for creating a simple overlay are at the top.
    Second step is Chapter 7 of the DVDSP4 manual. It describes standard menus in detail.
    In a nutshell, you create two graphic files: one is the background art for the menu and one is the overlay. The overlay has a white background with black graphics where you want the button highlights ot appear. Import both into DVDSP, assign the background to the menu background, the overlay as the menu overlay. Create your buttons and assign overlay colors and opacities for the three button states (normal, selected, activated) in the Menu palette.

  • I'm trying to buy a book. The book is made in I-Photo and when I push buy book button it starts to process and than says--  There was a problem communcating wit the apple store   " help"

    Are you buying from the correct Print Products Store?  If you are using the wrong store, your AppleID may not be valid.
    Is the Print Products Store set correctly in iPhoto Preferences > Advanced?  It should be set to the  same country as your billing address and delivery address, and match the settings of the Apple ID you are using.
    And you are using iPhoto '09 or '11, right?  you can no longer buy books from earlier versions.
    When you reenter your settings as LarryHN described, don't forget to enable Express Checkout. It is required.

    MY screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are open and have held down the home button and start button simultaneously but neither helped. Can someone out there help me?

    Well the next couple of things to try would be to reset all settings, and if that doesn't help, it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. That will take all settings on the iPad back to factory defaults. It will not delete anything and you will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all settings again ...WiFi passwords, enable Siri, select your wallpaper, adjust brightness, turn on location services and set privacy settings, etc, etc.
    You can read about restoring the software here.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
    Should you decide to restore the iOS, it is extremely important that you back up first so that you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes afterward in order to restore all content back to the iPad. It is all covered in the kb article.
    If you do not sync with iTunes, then I assume that you backup with iCloud. In that case you can erase the device in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Once again, backing up with I loud is I,operative before you do this so that you can restore from the iCloud backup after you erase the iPad and start over again with activation.
    You should read this first before you restore from either backup.

  • On my macbook pro i have to hold the alt/option button when starting up...

    otherwise windows xp is the default hardrive that starts.....how to change the default hardrive at start up to be the mac? it's just getting annoying always having to hold the alt/option button at start up

    Hi brazzy3,
    Welcome to the forum.
    You can set the default startup disk from within System Preferences in OSX. Simply fire up System Preferences, select Startup Disk then select the volume you want to startup from automatically.
    Boot Camp Beta also installs a Startup Disk control panel that lets you set the default operating system when you’re running Windows XP.

  • Specify Starting Position in Sender FCC

    Hi Experts Team,
    I wish to specify the starting position of field in sender FCC.
    can i????
    regards,

    Hi,
    I think positions we can't identify with FCC statements.  fieldfixedlengths itself system will identify automatically.  If column have any specific character indication we can do easily.  Check it according to your requirement.

  • Button Highlight turns Black in Encore

    Hi all.  Am confused about what is happening here.  I am trying to make my own customized Button Highlights.  First thing I do is get my object in photoshop by doing the following.  Change "background" layer to a "layer".  Then using color range, delete the background so only the item I want is left on a transparent canvas.  Save it.  Then import it into the psd file for my Menu.   I add this as a new layer under one of the Chapter groups.  Add the appropriate label "(=1) highlight".  It looks like it should work on photoshop.  I see the design with full color where the button highlight should be.
    However, once this psd file is imported into the Encore, and the "show highlights" button is clicked, the menu shows only a black version of the highlight.  in other words, it looks like a black shadow of what the file should be.  For example if the button highlight is supposed to be a picture of a red apple, all you see in Encore is a solid black apple.  Although in photoshop, when you make that layer visible you see a red apple.
    Anybody have any idea what is going on here?  Why does it look normal in photoshop, but when imported into Encore as a menu file, the button highlights become only Black shadows?
    Thanks much.

    As Jon points out, there is a limitation on Sub-picture Highlights. This is not a limitation of Encore, but with the DVD-specs.
    The way to get what you want is to create a duplicate Menu, with the continuous tone image that you want, where the real Sub-picture Highlight would be. On the real Menu, you would set your Button to Auto Activate, and on your duplicate Menu, set the real Sub-picture Highlight to 100% Transparent. You will need a duplicate Menu for each Button. Note also, that if the user is on a computer, they will need to dbl-click to get the real Button on the duplicate Menu to work.
    This will give the user the illusion that there is a continuous tone Sub-picture Highlight, but in reality it will be a graphic on that duplicate Menu.
    Good luck, and if you go this route, make a flowchart and name your Menus, and duplicate Menus, so you can follow that flowchart.
    Good luck,
