Looping audio on the menu page

I have edited a piece of audio for use on the menu page of an iDVD project. It is cropped, so that when it loops, there is a natural transition from the end of the clip to the beginning, as it starts over. I imported this clip into my iDVD project, and it loops fine, but it apparently is too short for the menu screen because after it loops through, it plays for a few more seconds and then starts over. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but how can I adjust the timing of the menu screen to match the timing of my audio clip?

How did you edit the music file - trying to take a 15 second piece of a song & loop it for the menu screen... not sure what software to use.
Thanks!

  • File name on the menu page of a DVD project

    When I import my video project into iDVD 5.0 the file name ends up on the Menu page. If I try to delete it, it erases the project from the DVD. How do I get rid of the file name on my menu page without deleting the video itself?

    Hi Rusty
    As I see it. No name = no movie
    1. You might replace the name with a space (or ev. alt+space)
    2. or You might want a self / auto starting movie then get to the block
    diagram view and drop Your movie project into the upper left most box.

  • No Audio at main menu page

    Hi,
    I authored a DVD. All sub menus have audio-background "Revolution-Extras".
    The main menu page shows as Audio "Revolution-Main" but no sound is played, when playing the DVD and the main menu page is coming up.
    How can I add the audio to the main menu page?
    Thx
    Joerg

    Beverly:
    What version of iDVD are you using?  The iLife 09 version is the same as iLife 11 since iDVD hadn't been updated since iLIfe 08.
    All you need to do is apply the three updaters available here: Apple - Support - iDVD 7  No need to upgrade to iLife 11 unless you need the newer iPhoto or iMovie.
    The audio well pane is brought up by typing Command+i after clicking once in the menu:

  • I am using the "Menu Selection With Events.vi" example alongside other while loops, When I select exit from the new menu it stops the other while loops but not the menu/event while loop

    The event driven menu example works fine and I've integrated it into my application. I have built in simple local vars to link menu selections to existing GUI buttons. The problem is that I cannot get the File-Exit menu option to switch off/terminate the application. The [1] "Stop": Value Change panel of the event structure simply switches off the other while loops but leaves the event while loop running. Add a while loop to the axample using a local var from the event while loop to terminate 2nd while loop to get the effect.
    Help appreciated, Chris

    Attached you will find a modified version of your VI.
    I documented what I did on the block diagram.You were right on you just needed to add a variable with a true wired to it.
    Have fun with it.

  • Apple tv has frozen on the menu page

    apple tv has frozen on menu page

    I have the exact same problem that you all are experiencing.  Has anyone yet found a solution.  This is very disappointing.   I've gone from being a hardcore apple fanboy and long shareholder to returning to windows 8 and shorting the stock because almost all my apple gear has issues that arise within the first several years of ownership. Never was the case when I built or bought third party hardware.   I hope apple solves this issue soon.

  • Apple tv2 stops streaming music and returns to menu page all the time

    I'm having a similar problesm with Movies streamed from my Mac.

  • How do I stop the Menu audio from restarting with each selection?

    I have modified an Encore (CS4) menu in Photoshop so that it has 10 animating video thumbnail buttons, a 1:30 music file, subpictures on the thumbnails to highlight what is selected, and I routed the buttons to go in the order I wanted.  When I initially made the menu I didn't have subpictures or customized routing.  The music played continuously and each of the thumbnails animated.  Now that I have added to it, every time a different thumbnail is selected, the music starts over from the beginning, like it is tied to the selections, and I don't want that.  Have I missed selecting or deselecting something somewhere?  Everything else is fine.  The thumbnails still animate, the subpictures highlight in a different color, the routing is the way I wanted...just the audio file is holding me up.  Thanks.

    Are you using Auto Activate on any of the buttons?
    Is this a preview-only issue or does it appear on a burned disc?
    Try deleting the menu audio, saving your project, closing and re-opening
    En, then adding the audio to the menu again.  Any change?

  • Audio plays for menu but not for the movie??

    Hi-
    I made a dvd with music from an mp3 playing over the menu. It works fantastically. Then when I play the movie, the audio is GONE.
    Note: I CAN get the movie audio to play when I increase the music level of the menu audio, but then when that happens the audio of the menu gets extremely distorted because its too loud. I dont want the level of the menu audio louder than the movie audio anyway. Anyone run into this?

    Hi
    iMovie and iDVD seems to have problems with various audio formats.
    iTune music - goes silent on DVD disc etc.
    Way around (and I allways do):
    • convert all audio esp .mp3 and from iTunes to .aiff
    • import this into iMovie then after edit closing iMovie
    • open iDVD and import the movie project
    (I never use the Share/Export to iDVD function in iMovie)

  • Broken Menu Page - Won't Show On Screen  (But, Works Functionally)

    I've created an iDVD '08 project and have created a disk image to check and make sure everything is working properly. Unfortunately, when I play the DVD (disk image) one of the menu pages won't appear on screen when you navigate to it. I can blindly navigate that menu page's options (because I have them memorized), but the menu itself never appears.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Further Details:
    I've tried creating multiple disk images and the problem persists. I've also tried to tweak the options on that specific menu to see if that would fix the glitch, all to no avail.
    The menu in question appears in this order: MAIN MENU (Choices: 1 Movie, 1 Sub-Menu) --> SUB MENU (Choices: 5 Sub-Menus) --> *BROKEN MENU* (Choices: 3 Sub-Menus, 2 Movies, 1 Slideshow) --> FURTHER SUB MENUS
    All of the menus have custom MP3 music playing in the background. Most are longer, but this specific menu page that is broken has music that plays for 01:38 (loop duration of 01:39). (The music plays. Again, you just can't see the menu.) In the one drop zone, there is one picture. (I don't know if this picture is a .jpg or a .pct.)
    I'm using the "Brushstroke" theme (a 6.0 Theme) and the broken menu is a "chapters" theme. (All of the other "chapters" sub-menus appear fine.)

    I fixed it.
    Just in case anyone else has this issue, the problem (I think) was this: I had a "Movie" button on the sub-menu page in question that had only a " " as the title text.
    (This was by design. The "movie" was intended to be a hidden "Easter Egg" that viewers could play only if they knew how to navigate to the button.)
    I fixed the problem by adding actual text to the button's title text. (I managed to make that title text disappear by changing the opacity, thereby making it invisible.)
    Hope that helps someone.

  • Dvd studio pro Audio in Layered menu

    Hi,
    I'm finishing up a dvd project, and got stuck on this small issue...
    I'm using a layered menu, with in it a layered psd file with background text and buttons. I need a layered menu so i can use my own graphics for buttons (overlay effects).
    I want audio to loop while in the menu, but that doesn't seem to work??? Is it really only possible in a standard menu???
    Thanks for any help!!

    Welcome to the Boards
    As you surmised no audio in layered menus.

  • No menu page

    I'd like to burn a QT file without the menu page. Is there a way to burn a DVD without having a menu page at all? The movie just plays as soon as it registers.
    Thanks

    Put the movie in the Autoplay well in Map. If you want it to play forever (or until you press Stop on your remote), go to Advanced/Loop.

  • Menu page image and text cut off on burned DVD

    I burned a DVD using the travel theme. The project looks fine on my Intel iMac, but when I put the disc into my home DVD player, the menu page, which is not in letterbox format like the rest of the project, has the outer edges cut off and the text and images don't fit the television screen. The rest of the disc looks fine. Any suggestions as to why this happened?
    Thanks!

    Hi DrumRunner:
    iDVD: How to Determine TV Safe Area

    iDVD: Creating widescreen DVDs for standard size televisions
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303030
    Then there is:
    Old Toad's recipe for:
    Masking Movies to the TV Safe Area for iDVD
    The mask should be 640 x 480 pixels and the movie 514 x 386 (I arrived at this figure by making a snapshot of the TV save area of an iDVD project with Snapz). You can set this size after you’ve joined it with the mask movie with Quicktime Player Pro.
    Import the black mask jpg file into iMovie and and export it as a .mov file at the same length as your movie (there may be a way to not have to create a specific length mask for each movie but I haven't found it. If the times do not match the movie file will be synced to the length of the mask movie).
    Open the mask movie in QT Player Pro and then open your regular movie and make it the front window of the two. Now you'll need to run a QT Player AppleScript titled "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2". You can get it from this Apple site: Quicktime Player Scripts.
    Then run the script. You can then run the merged movie to check it out. Your movie will be located in the upper lefthand corner of the window when played.
    When you open the Movie Properties window from the Window menu for the combined file you’ll see the following:
    Video Track 1: the black mask
    Video Track 2 : your movie file
    Tween track: Have no idea what this is.
    Sound track: self explanaotry
    Black mask.
    To set the size of your movie to the correct size select it in the Properties window and click on Visual Settings pane. Then enter 514 in the first field and hit enter. With the Preserve Aspect Ration box checked the other size will automatically be set.
    To center the video track in the center of the mask select the Video Track 2 item and plug in a offset of about: 60 & 40. You'll probably have to play with that to fine tune the centering. Doing the math and subtracting the movie dimensions from the mask dimensions and dividing by two just didn't get it perfectly centered. I'm sure I'm missing something here.
    Now save as a new self contained movie after checking the High Quality box at the bottom right.
    You can not import it into iDVD for preview and burning. One drawback is that you can't invoke the TV save area for a movie in iDVD to check it out. But you can mark it on the monitor screen while viewing a menu or slideshow and then play the movie to see how close you came.
    Since I made this workflow I've found that iDVD NTSC likes 720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format so you might want to make the black mask that size and adjust the video accordingly. As I said it takes some fiddling.
    Does that help?
