Making DVD style navigation menus for use in PC files

Hi There
I basically need some help with the above! I want to make a film, with menus to start with, which can naviagte to the desired chapter when seleceted. When I put the menu overlays on, instead of exporting to DVD i choose PC files, but only the film itself is saved, not the graphics or menus. Is there a way this can be done?
Many thanks in advance

Once you've added your menus and navigation, you need to Share/To Disc to burn a DVD. (You can also elect to burn the files to a folder on your hard drive.)
Are you not trying to create a DVD?
I'm not sure of any other way to make your video navigable by menus.
Although, as I explain in my books, in version 9, you can Share to a WebDVD -- which creates a web site that you can navigate through menus, like a DVD.

How to make video content on a hard drive have DVD-style navigation?

I have a client who plays video clips in a seminar setting, and has been using a DVD player to accomplish this so he can use the remote to jump between different movie clips at will. He now wants the content stored on his hard drive to no longer have to mess with the DVDs, but wants to retain the functionality of DVD-style navigation. Does this require a program like Adobe Director, or are there simpler solutions? Thanks for your help.

I've never tried to send a DVD playback to an external monitor, and don't have the equipment here to test it right now.
This is how most of our Playback for corporate clients is done; university lecture theatres and training rooms.
The Video_TS folder is placed on a central server or local hard drive so anyone authorised can access the presentation. A computer is connected to a projector using RGB VGA showing on a large screen.
One thing to be aware of when showing video as opposed to graphics on two displays at the same time; many laptops and some low end desktop computers have graphics cards that dont have the processing power to display video on both the laptop screen and to a projector or second monitor.
The solution is to send it only to the the second display / projector by using the video output toggle switch on the keyboard, (something like Function and F3 keys, but each computer is different).

Tab Style Navigation Bar for Pages in Page group

Hi
Is there a way to create a tab style navigation bar for a group of pages that will appear at the top of a page?
Regards
Harry

You might try using Language_Switcher Language Switcher while working on the English page. That might allow you to create the navbar in English.
Otherwise you could use a text based navbar like in this demo page: Text Based Navbar

Layer Styles Not Saving for Use on Other Computers

I've been trying over and over for the last 6 hours to get the layer styles I save in my custom pallet to work on other computers. I mean, I have a bunch of pallets from other sources and somehow they achieved a way of being able to save theirs, now why can't I do it on mine?
So, here's the story of what I've done. I have a Text layer, I've added a list of FX to it via the Layer Styles menu. Now I save the document. I open up a new document and copy/paste the FX onto a new Text layer in another document window. It works great.
Then, I save the layer styles for use later, but no. When I do everything exactly the same way, my Layer Style that I saved has lost all it coordinates of shadows and stroke widths, bevels, you name it, it's screwed up. Now I've tried this so far on CS4 and CS5, 3 different computers. All 3 computers have different settings for how Photoshop is set up, so I know it's NOT my settings alone. Though, it keeps the colors and custom gradients how they are, everything is bonkers.
I'm ready to stop trusting in Photoshop to be there for me when I need it...or punch a hole in the wall. Whichever comes first.
I need help for this as soon as possible, for I have an assignment I need this for.
Running: Windows 7 64
Adobe Photoshop CS4 & CS5.

Seems to me you left out the most critical piece of information, that is, HOW did you save the layer style for later use ?
You might read this tutorial to see if you did it correctly.

What is the best DVD burner to buy for use with my Mac?

I have a MacMini with a DVD player/CD burner. I would like to buy an external DVD burner for use with the MacMini and my Tiger OS. Could I get some thoughts on purchasing a good external burner and using the best burning program with it. Thanks

$129.99 includes Toast 6 Lite
The $129.99 unit that comes with Toast 6 Lite can be found on the web for a lot less. Later, if you outgrow Toast 6 you can upgrade to Toast 8 (which is the latest version).

My experience with Lacie and Sony burners has always been positve and Toast is good to have around, it's always complimented iDVD well (in addition to having a host of other useful features).
Note:
I'm not familiar with any of Toast 6 lite's features, but I do know you can burn DVD's with it. It adds another means of authoring a DVD outside of iDVD.

The only problems that I am aware of with the updater are
these:
* Some third party extensions currently don't work with
Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
* The Test SQL Statement panel doesn't render correct results
for MySQL
functions.
* The recordset dialog box strips out the MySQL CONCAT()
function from
SQL queries.
Item 1 isn't a major concern to me, as I rarely use the
extensions
affected (mainly MX Kollection 3 and extensions created by
Tom Muck).
Items 2 and 3 do concern me, but since I'm aware of them, I
can easily
work around them.
I have installed the 8.0.2 updater, and don't have any plans
to
uninstall at the moment. The changes to the server behaviors
improve
security, so that's an important reason to update. On the
other hand, if
you rely heavily on extensions created by InterAKT or Tom
Muck, you may
be better off waiting until they have updated their products,
too.

Making JButton name a varible for use in for loops

Ok I've got some 98 buttons which are laid out in a grid, and a for loop would work to make thing easier when it came time to make adjustments or changes. Therefore, I would only have to make changes once instead of editing some 196 lines (Making the button, then adding for each button) Both the button names are incremental and their lables
Here is what I got:
// for loops to do the increase of Char Letter and Int Number
String buttonName = "rowButton" + Letter + "" + Number;
JButton buttonName = new JButton( Letter + " " + Number);
// closing of for loop
What do I need to do to make a string value to be the new button's name?

String buttonName = "rowButton" + Letter + "" + Number;
JButton buttonName = new JButton( Letter + " " + Number);
What language allows this? There has to be some language that allows >this, otherwise why do so many people think you can do it in java. Uhmm, actually it works fine in Java. One method to convert an integer to a string is to do:
int i = 10;
String new_string = "" +i;
//new_string == "10"

How do I specify quicktime plugin for use by mp3 files on ppc mac

In the Applications section of Firefox Preferences I find no way to specify that the Quicktime PLUG-IN is to be used for mp3 files. Although this action option is a provided for other kinds of files, that action option is missing for MP3 Audio file (audio/mp3) and for MP3 Audio File (audio/x-mp3).
I can specify that the Quicktime PLAYER should be used, but not the plug-in. How can I specify that I want the plug-in to be used?

You need to set in the QuickTime Preferences what files types you want that plugin to handle.

Making dvd with NO MENUS

is there a simple way to make a movie in imovie with no themes and burn it to a dvd with no themes ? I do have Toast.
thanks.
Laura

sorry for bad linking.. I edited the post and then kazoooomm kaputt...
as Fred allready told you:
iM has no themes (iM6 HAS themes, but you decide to use or not to use them....), you confuse the usage of iM and iDVD...
I'm just owning ol' Toast6, a version which does NOT allow no-themes on DVDs.. but, I'm pretty sure, using Toast's Help, looking for 'autostart' ('copying' Fred's advice for iDVD...) will guide you ....

Whats the best settings to rip DVD to Mpeg Streamclip for use in FCE??

Hi there.
Ok, I using MPEG Streamclip to rip a DVD for editing on FCE.
Whats the best settings to get it to my hard drive?
MPEG4?? Compression rate??
Chris

Assuming your DVD plays widescreen, the better settings in MPEG Streamclip would be:
Export to QuickTime
Compression = Apple Intermediate Codec
Frame size = 1920x1080
Pretty much everything else should remain at default settings.
Keep in mind that if you have an NTSC DVD, the resulting QT/AIC video will be 60i.
In FCE, select the AVCHD 1920x1080i60 easy setup, create a new sequence, import the converted file and edit away. The quality should be very nice.

Pulling video from dvd at highest quality for use in Final Cut

i am a high school bb coach and i got a couple tv games on DVD from the TV station. i want to add them into my highlight video - but the quality is poor when i use hand brake then convert with mpeg streamclip... am i doing something wrong - or is there a better way to get this done.
thanks

Just use MPEG Streamclip. No need to use Handbrake. Export out in the format you want to edit in. Export a quicktime file like DV/DVCPro NTSC. Export a quicktime file. This will work in FCP.
Good Luck

How can I prevent Firefox from cutting off the title of a webpage for use as a file name when printing/saving as PDF if there's a / in it?

Like it says in the question - when I try to print/save a webpage as a PDF, Firefox (version 36.0, Windows 8.1 64bit, German) usually uses the page's title as the file name. Slashes are, of course, not allowed in file names, but instead of just leaving leaving it out or replacing it with a hyphen, the title is cut off and everything before the last slash is gone, which in some cases results in very odd and misleading file names.
Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything. So I'm just wondering if there's either going to be a fix anytime soon, or whether there is a simpler solution than to generate a different title sans slashes specifically for Firefox users.
Thanks in advance for Your help!

There is more than one proxy type.<br />
Only an anonymous proxy will hide the IP and build two connections, one between you and the proxy and a second connection between the proxy and the website that uses an IP from that proxy.<br />
A normal proxy merely passes all traffic without affecting it, so websites see your IP in such a case.

How to declare variable in solution file for use in project files.

Hi Folks,
Apologies if this is not the right place to ask, but I would like to declare a variable in my solution file that can used by all of the projects (prof files) in that solution.
More specifically in the project files, references are stored using relative paths which cause issues if they don't exist. I would like to replace the relative paths with a variable set in the solution file that can easily be changed when the solution is
built in a different location.
So I would like to replace "../../../SomeProject" with "$(SomeLocation)/SomeProject" but set the $(SomeLocation) in the solution file.
Regards
Andy

Hello Andy,
Here is a common sln file:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2013
VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.30723.0
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "wpf_EntityFramework", "wpf_EntityFramework\wpf_EntityFramework.csproj", "{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU
Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Release|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Release|Any CPU
{A282940A-5F76-4FF8-9568-8B7D14133259}.Release|Any CPU.Build.0 = Release|Any CPU
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal
And the Global Interface in the solution file is actually used for Visual Stuido add-ins. To know details, please read the following MSDN article:
1. Persisting Information in Projects and Solutions
Here you can find "If the Globals object is associated with the
Solution2 object, then the value persists in the .sln file. These values are persisted when the solution file is saved."
2.
Solution2 Interface
It's about the solution interface.
As you can see although they may save something to your solution file, it is not intended for you to use it in your project.
What's your projec type and can you alter to use some common ways?
For example:
1. If it is in project level, set your value public so that all classes can access the value.
2. Or you can choose to create a xml/text file or any file that you can read by code, and then read the value out from that file.
It will be much better than thinking about set value in the solution file.

Barry
