Link menu buttons to subtitles??

Hi! I've got a pretty big problem. I created a new DVD-project with Encore CS3 and imported subtitles in two languages, english and portuguese. Now I have the idea, that the user of this DVD can select the subtitles in a submenu. As it is often used in normal movie-DVDs. But how can I do this?!
To sum my problem up, I want this function:
I hope you can understand, I really need your help!
Greetings from Germany,
Erando

Now here are my observations comparing Blu-Ray build to DVD build as far as subtitles issues, in general, are concerned.
1- Although ,as you well know, each project has a default subtitle and audio track that    initially is active the moment you insert your Media (blu-ray or DVD). On a normal DVD when you hit the "Play Movie" button in the Main menu, movie starts and the default subtitle is active . On a blu-ray Disc the default subtitle track is not active - and playback has no subtitle at all unless you select subtitle Button on your remote and select a language track .
2- On a DVD each subtitle track displays its language on the screen when you use the "subtitle " remote control button; i.e. English ,French or whatever etcc.. are dispayed on the screen. On a Blu-ray DISC all languages become English !
3- Adobe useful Help recommends and insists on a Gap of 2 frames between each subtitle for Blu-Ray projects. Well not even 6 frames are enough you need a minimum of 8 frames gap between each subtitle which makes short subtitle lines  duration very short - the moment they appear they disappear very fast.
It is a  real Pitty because Encore Cs4 is a wonderful application .Unlike other complains that I randomly witness in the forum I never Had a problem with DTS audio or AC3 or H264 or MPEG or any other error like build error or audio error and all the streams I use are High Def 1920 x1080 always show on the project panel as : dont transcode for blu-ray settings . everything is great but this tiny small issue that I could not so far master

  • Link Menu Buttons to Subtitle Track in Encore DVD 2.0?

    I desperately need help with subtitles in DVD 2.0. I did: “Timeline > Add Subtitle Track” on each of my 10 timelines. I added a few subtitle texts to check how it works. So far so good. I created a submenu with “Select Subtitle, etc.” Then I tried to ‘link’ the Subtitle Button on this menu to subtitle track #1 – but it wasn't available in the Subtitle Button’s Properties panel’s Link drop down menu (and the Override drop down menu was grayed out).The Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 Manual says (on p. 222) that “You can set the audio or subtitle track with any link control (such as End Action or Override) in the Properties panel.” This doesn't seem to be the case unless I am doing something wrong (most probably). Also, on the same page, the manual says that “2. Select a button to set … the subtitle track… 3. In the Properties panel, choose Specify Other from the Link pop-up menu.” There is no “Specify Other” selection in the list. (One comment: The subtitle track does not show up in the Project panel – may be this is the problem?) I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Laci.

    HI Bill, I have another subtitle question. I finished my first (big) Encore DVD 2.0 project yesterday (). I build the DVD image but when I tried to burn it to a DVD disk it turned out that the project has about 122 million more bytes than what would fit on the disk (). So, with PE 7, I edited some of the 9 movies in the project (exported them with same name, to the same place as during the first time) and I opened the Encore project.  I noticed that it used the old (imported by Encore) avi files. Then I did something not very smart: deleted the old (and long) avi. files from the project and imported the edited (and shorter) new avi files. At this point, I noticed, that my laboriously created subtitles disappeared  .
    Do these subtitles still exist somewhere? There is a file in the project, called "SpuSplit.ses" in the SubtitleDataFiles folder but I do not know how to open it or if it would help at all. More important: What should I do next time to save the subtitles (or audio for that matter) if I still want to make some (minor) editing on my project after building the DVD?  (I assume that I have to create the subtitles in script files and then import them as many times as I want. Am I right?)
    Thanks for any help, Laci.
    (BTW, I uploaded my picture and it is in 'My Profile' but does not show up with these massages.)

  • Linking menu buttons to pages for an Android app

    Hi all. Ok im a bit of a rookie when it comes to flash but here is my dilema. I want to link a button on my main page, to another page with info on it.
    For example: my main page has the buttons" PS3"... "Xbox 360"...."P.C" I want each of these buttons to link to an alphabetical list, ie: A-Z. And id like to be able to do this without the need for an internet connection. I have tried googling it but i could not find an answer to this. If anyone has any suggestions it would be great.

    You'll need to be sure to include stop() commands in each scene.  I recommend you just get away from using scenes at all... they are problematic when you try to mox them with navigation.  Just place your pages in different frames of the same timelines or just have them as movieclips that you control them being shown (or a little of both).
    AS far as the flickering from scene to scene goes, that's most often an indication that you have coding errors.  Do you get any kind of coding error messages?
    This is a weak spot for me because I have not developed apps for mobile devices.  Because support for developing apps is a recent feature of Flash, I think that you can't use AS2 to do that.  The on(release) code you say you are using is AS2.  I have to believe that you need to use AS3 to be programming for an app, though I might be entirely wrong in thinking that.

  • Re-linking menu buttons to chapter marker

    Hi
    I've imported my movie (with chapter markers) from iMovie to iDVD, but for one of the scene selection buttons I wanted a still photo as opposed to moving pictures. So I dragged a jpeg to the position and replaced the button. However when I came to play the DVD, that button now no longer links to the movie, and when pressed just shows the still picture. Is there any way I can re-establish the link from the button to the chapter marker, or is it gone for good? (Please don't tell me I have to start from scratch and re-import the movie again!)
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer

    There was a Topic here a few days ago about doing what you tried. Might look around.

    What code have you tried?  Where do you have the code planted?  If you plant all of the code in one place, such as the main timeline then it might be easier for you to manage targeting whichever objects you intend to.

  • Can't get my dropdown menu buttons to link to another scene.

    I can’t get my dropdown menu buttons to link to other scenes within the same Flash file.  The buttons are unresponsive during playback – as if no code were attached to it.  Here’s what I have as my AS2 code on the dropped button that is supposed to link to the "Published" scene/page:
    on(release){
    _root.gotoAndPlay("published", 1);
    I'm working with Actionscript 2.0 in Flash CS6.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi kglab,
    I do get these compile errors:
    Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 1 Statement must appear within on handler
    Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 2 Statement must appear within on handler
    But, I think you are correct about the setInterval Loop.  On the home scene I’ve created a movie symbol which is set to call another swf file:
    loadMovie("frontSlideshow.swf", _root.movie1);
    This frontSlideshow.swf file has the following code in every 10 frames:
    this.stop();
    pause = function ()
                   play();
    clearInterval(pausei);
    pausei = setInterval(pause, 5000);
    This will pause the timeframe every 5 seconds before sliding to the next frame so that each image can be viewed.  It seems odd that the code from this subclass file would affect the timeframe of the main class/file where the “movie1” symbol is located.
    Best,
    Rob

  • Flash menu in DW, how do I link the buttons?

    Hi there!
    I have a problem, i'm creating a site in dreamweaver with a
    lot of flash objects. For examlpe I'm making a flash menu, wich is
    the hole problem! I'm importing the flash file to the left frame in
    dreamweaver and i'm trying to link the buttons (on the menu) to ex.
    "home" or "about me", though it doesn't work! I can't link the
    buttons because they're in this flash object. I know i'm doing it
    wrong with trying to link the buttons on the flash object but I
    don't know what else to do. And the thing is that i don't wanna use
    the buttons already existing in DW, i've made my own ones. The
    buttons are moving so there is one more problem, they're coming in
    from the right side (in the left frame) and bounces once, and then
    they stop. And that's when I wan't them clickable. So how do I make
    the buttons linking to the pages??
    Would really appreciate an awnser!
    Thanks !

    Flash links are made in Flash, not DW.
    I trust these links are not important, as search engines
    can't see them

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 Template - Main menu button not going to correct page link

    Hi,
    Please help me, as i am new to Adobe Dreamweaver.
    I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, then recently changed to CS5.5, firstly i couldn't get the templates to update, but by playing around i managed to get the template up update all the pages. #
    I am now having problems when i click on the link in the website, it seems to be looking in the templates folder for the html page.
    Website addrerss: www.malegroominglounge.co.uk
    Pages that i am having problems with when i click in the menu buttons : Male Waxing, Contact Us & Find us,
    This is sometimes working but most of the time comes up with: 'Page cannot be found' and when looking at the URL it is e.g http://www.malegroominglounge.co.uk/Templates/malewaxing.html
    Why is it looking at the templates folder?
    I have checked the template file in menu url and it has not got an extension to look in the 'templates' folder.
    Could someone please help?

    Hi
    Thanks for your investigation.
    Yes i can now see on the source that it is using the templates folder e.g (www.malegroominglounge.co.uk/templates/findus.html), but when I go into dreamweaver template, the code i see is:
      <div id="sidebar1">
        <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
          <li><a href="index.html" class=" style1 style21">Home</a> </li>
          <li><a href="aboutus.html" class="style35">About Us</a></li>
          <li><a href="malewaxing.html" class="style35">Male Waxing</a> </li>
          <li><a href="malemassage.html" class="style35">Male Massage</a></li>

          <li><img src="holisticguild300.jpg" width="130" height="46" hspace="3" /></li>
        </ul>
    So not sure what i'm doing wrong.
    Can I just check that the 'Don't rewrite relative document paths' check box should be unticked (this is found in DW CS5.5 - Site - Manage Site - Edit - Advanced Settings - Templates)
    Any help much appreciated
    Cheers

  • Blu-ray menu button made with dynamic link won't work on Blu-ray disc

    Windows 7
    CS6 cloud
    Ok.  So I used dynmamic link to my encore project and I also imported an mpg.4 as an asset for a separate menu button.  I have two buttons on linked to the premire pro project and one linked to the mpg.4.  Everything works fine in preview and the flow chart is fine everything is going where its supposed to go. 
    When I play the blu-ray disc the menu shows, the video thumbnails show...but when I hit the menu button that is supposed to play the premier pro video it does not work.  But when I hit the menu button for the mpeg.4 video it does work.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on?

    Please post a screenshot of your flowchart.

  • Menu Button Links Aren't Lost When Adding Additional Premiere Chapter Points

    I have a single overriding need in Encore. All other enhancements are secondary.
    Problem: If you change Premiere chapter points in a sequence, the Encore menu buttons lose all the chapter point links when the sequence is reloaded.
    Let's look at the work flow for a real world production situation.
    I create a Premiere sequence with 16 sequence markers as chapter points. In Encore, I create a timeline using the encoded Premiere sequence. I then link buttons in a menu to the chapter points in the timeline. My customer reviews the proto and invariably wants the following changes:
    1) Add additional chapter points.
    2) Move existing chapter points.
    3) Add or remove some footage from the Premiere sequence.
    Ideally, I should be able to add or move chapter points in the Premiere sequence including adding or removing footage. Upon entering Encore, Encore should realize from the date of the encoded m2v and wav sequence files used by the Encore timeline that something has changed and reload the modified files into the timeline. By looking at the chapter names in the Premiere sequence, Encore should match the chapter names in the menu buttons with the Premiere chapter names. Encore should then assume that the Premiere chapter points have moved and accordingly have the menu button point to the new location on the timeline (at the appropriate GOP location).

    Use the edit original command.
    Encore takes you into Premiere.
    Move the chapter points to different locations.
    Save
    Export -> Adobe Media Encoder (Use same file name)
    Encore progress bar indicates it is reloading.
    However, the Encore timeline shows the chapter points at the original locations.

  • Controlling menu button overlay?

    I made a title menu video clip in Motion, with all the text including chapter headings.
    I imported it into Studio Pro. I added buttons overtop the text in the video clip. I linked the buttons to the chapters. Everything works.
    I added an overlay to the buttons ... mainly for the DVD Players, so the viewer can SEE his\her selections with the remote.
    My video clip starts in black, the chapter text headings take 8 seconds to appear. My 'normal' not-yet-selected overlay mode actually shows up as a coloured rectangle (the same colour as the 'selected' mode) where the first button is placed. The text appears later, in the rectangle. So I have a not-wanted colour rectangle in the frame for 8 seconds.
    Is there a way:
    1. I can have the button overlay rectangle appear later in the menu video clip timeline - when the actual text arrives?
    Or...
    2. I can somehow have the 'normal' mode in play (as a non-colour, neutral or transparent nothing), until the mouse, or the controller actually 'selects' the chapter text (in the button)? At which point the coloured 'selected' rectangle would appear.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Is there a way:
    1. I can have the button overlay rectangle appear
    later in the menu video clip timeline - when the
    actual text arrives?
    Straight through DVD SP, nope (unless I missed something, have not tried all the tricks in DVD SP 4) but you can do it either by (a) some some other editing software like dvdafteredit (thought I saw an article on this once) or (b) some tricks [but the easier way is below in settings :)]
    i.) have the clip cut and put the menus next to one another and have it auto jump to the next menu (though you will probably see the jump on most players)
    2.) Build subtitles/buttons on a movie track and make that work as a menu
    2. I can somehow have the 'normal' mode in play (as
    a non-colour, neutral or transparent nothing), until
    the mouse, or the controller actually 'selects' the
    chapter text (in the button)? At which point the
    coloured 'selected' rectangle would appear.
    The easiest way will be have the buttons all non-highlighted unless selected (change settings so you do not see the rectangle) .. the only issue is that one button by default is always selected, so you can make an invisible button, and then people will have to press to get to the next buttons, but then they can move around by setting the up down left right buttons not to ever move to the invisible button

  • Buttons for subtitles

    Hello fellow DVD-SP users,
    As I'm not an experienced user, I have here the Apple Pro Training Series from Martin Sitter and Adrian Ramseier, and thanks to that book I've managed to create two language tracks (english and dutch) that actually work well.
    Still I'm not satified, because as it is now, you need to push the language menu-button of the DVD-remote control to switch languages. What I actually like to have is just an extra link on my main menu (for instance "choose language") linked to another small menu with the two languages in it to choose from. After choosing the right language the dvd should jump back again to the main menu.
    Has anyone an idea how I can achieve this?
    Best regards,
    Robbie V.

    Many ways (comes up often)
    Set audio preferences is one
    Another variation
    Variation which can be combined using scripts or just haard coding into a few menus.

  • Won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window', Can't open menu button

    Ok, since update to version 31.0, I have been having some problems.
    I have tried doing everything stated in the support page about resetting, reinstalling, safe mode, restarting pc etc.
    First problem, when I open Firefox no web page loads. It just says New Tab and a blank white page. If I press the home button I am taken to my homepage which is google.
    Second problem, when I right click on a link and the menu pops up, if I click open in new window, a new window opens but it just says New Tab with a blank page and no URL information, just blank.
    Third problem, the Open Menu button just doesn't work at all. You can click all you like, that thing is not opening.
    I am really stuck as to what to do. I have only been using Firefox for about a month and t was good until these problems. If I can't resolve it, I will have to use another browser as it is really annoying.
    I am using Windows 8.1 by the way and have scanned my computer thouroughly for both virus's and malware.

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • General Error or Crash using menu button on chapter playlists

    This is my first complex project in 2.0 - I needed to have approx 120 clips playable individually from a series of still menus. Given the 99 timeline limit, I created a number of timelines and placed batches of clips on them. I'm then using individual chapter playlists to reference each clip. The chapter playlist is linked from a menu button.
    When using the menu remote button when a chapter playlist is playing, I either get an 'abnormal condition' error, or occasionally, Encore crashes with no message at all. Tried this with no menus, timelines and playlists open but same errors.
    More detail:
    PAL 16:9 project
    28 timelines
    65 chapter playlists
    15 still menus
    approx 120 mpv clips and associated wavs (mpv encoded with cinemacraft encoder sp)
    Settings for one of the clips giving problems:
    Timeline - end action not set, menu remote - return to last menu, all ops permitted, no chapter end actions
    Chapter playlist - end action - return to last menu, override not set, menu remote - return to last menu, all ops permitted.
    I think I can stop the errors and crashes if I disable the menu remote button - but I don't really want to do this.
    Any ideas what's going on? Is it a bug(S)?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Paul.
    The trouble I had was the "Abnormal Condition" error when hitting the menu remote button in preview.
    There was no problem with Prev/Next buttons though.
    I tried burning a disc too, just to check if it would burn true & just played up in preview - but no dice. What happened was the player froze up solid after pressing the menu remote.
    I did create another project where the chapter playlists numbered around 28 from a single timeline, and this actually worked as it should do, so I suspect an issue in Encore's internal stacks where this is all addressed.
    I had to use a different application in the end.
    I believe the reason yours is still failing is simply because despite having 5 timelines, you are still well over the number of chapter playlists that seem to be available.
    It's a nasty bug - but apparently a fix is in the works. Hopefully we will see this as a maintenance release - we got these with both earlier versions (1.01 from 1.0, and 1.5.1 from 1.5) so I am hoping it will happen.
    There are a couple of issues I have noticed - although this is so far the only one I cannot work around in my projects.
    One thing has just occurred to me that might help you here.
    Instead iof using a chapter playlist to reference each clip, save these for multiple clips that need to be accessed, and from your chapter menu, just point directly to the clip in question.
    Set an end action for each clip to revert back to the menu that called it, and create just a single chapter playlist for a "Play All" situation.
    This will greatly reduce the number of chapter playlists you are running - and should do the job for you.

  • Command is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device

    Hi Everyone,
    I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.
    For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:
    CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
    setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
    setItemCommandListener(this);
    On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I travarse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesnt appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.
    Please do me a favour and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.
    Regards

    Is there any way to sort out this issue? I am not getting the cause
    behind this, and I am observing this only on 8300 Curve. On most of
    there phones [though not tested on every one] it is working as expected.
    Please guide me to proceed further. I am desperately waiting for the
    response. Regards.
