Maximum number of buttons for a single screen? Max Number of videos?

I'm getting horribly slow performance (waiting for minutes at a time to do simple menu edits) and frequent crashes in Encore CS5.  It is nearly unusable.
I have about 45 individual short clips that I want to put on a DVD.  Each clip needs to play and then return to the main menu screens (i have 3 menus set up to break up the clips).
I have the basic structure set up (after a few dozen crashes and sluggish performance) but auto-routing on the buttons results in instant crashes and the final DVD burn doesn't follow the routing that I've set up manually.
This software is deeply deeply flawed.  What are it's official limitations because I seem to be exceeding boundaries in many places  (even though my project isn't particularly sophisticated)?

Adobe shouldn't enforce restrictions regarding number of buttons on a single screen!
A warning is Ok, but this decision should be left to the user!
Why? I burned the other day a fully functional Blu-ray disc (BDMV) with a SINGLE submenu page containing 52 text buttons (!) + RETURN button back to the Top Menu. I used Sony Media's DVD Architect (v.5.0.b) to do that. I played the disc on my Sony BDP-S550 without any problem whatsoever (as well as on my PC both the physical disc, and from the BDMV folder, using both PowerDVD and ArcSoft's software). I'm pretty confident it'll play in other players as well.
So, in my experience it's fully possible to have a lot more than 18 buttons on a blu-ray (sub)menu, in spite the formal DVD definitions.
I was rather disappointed to discover that Encore restrict that
(I wanted to use Enocre since DVD Architect needed to recompress the source, I don't want that.)
My Encore experience in this case summarized:
- I can place all the 52 buttons on a submenu manually,
- "Check project" is fine with that (no errors),
- The links are Ok ("Show button routing")
=> In the "Preview", however, only the first 18 links navigate, the rest play "dead" (don't activate even if I move the mouse over those)!
Still, if I choose a specific Chapter beyond #18 (say #39) in the field below, it plays the requested Chapter!
How about that.
This is an irritating and unnecessarily enforced restriction by Adobe.
Let me decide, please!
Cheers,
Willy

  • Maximum number of video chats supported by iChat Server

    Hello all,
    In the early 10.5 OS X server days, there were reports that OS X Server's iChat Server included support for 7 simultaneous video chats. Is this true? Is this still true with OS X 10.6 Server's iChat Server?
    If not, what is the maximum number of video chats supported with OS X Server's iChat Server?
    Thank you,

    In the early 10.5 OS X server days, there were reports that OS X Server's iChat Server included support for 7 simultaneous video chats. Is this true?
    Not sure if the reports were about saying that; but it is not true.
    Is this still true with OS X 10.6 Server's iChat Server?
    Nope
    If not, what is the maximum number of video chats supported with OS X Server's iChat Server?
    Unlimited. This is 'cos audio and video streams are p2p and don't pass through the iChat server. The server has a limited involvement in helping the iChat clients set up the p2p connections, but once connected, it is no longer involved.

  • Coding a LOGOFF button for a single Webdynpro Application

    Hi Experts,
           Can you please help me with the coding for a LOGOFF button for a standalone Webdyn pro Application.
    I did do the initial research and have the following in place.
            View O/P plug => Calling Window I/P plug => Calling Window O/P plug [Type 1 Exit ].
    Also, have the following coding in the Window I/P Plug.
                       wd_this->fire_op_logoff_plg(
              close_window = ABAP_TRUE  " wdy_boolean
    The Problem  is, When I press the LOGOFF button, a Window pops-up with "Do you want to Close this Window?" and Has 2 buttons YES/NO. If the user clicks YES, the window close and ALL IS WELL! But if the user CLICKs "NO" .  The Brower is still open with the message "Application was terminated; You can close the Window". Not sure how to take it forward. Please advise.
           If am totally fine, if I can close the window w/o any popup or user option.
    Cheers in advance!

    Hi,
    What you enumerated above should be all you need to code logoff:
    View O/P plug => Calling Window I/P plug => Calling Window O/P plug Type 1 Exit .
    Also, have the following coding in the Window I/P Plug.
    wd_this->fire_op_logoff_plg(
    close_window = ABAP_TRUE " wdy_boolean
    Just check your sessions before and after you click the logoff button. You should see the HTTP session only while the WD app is active.
    Are you saying it is not working? Did you setup the navigation link between the I->O plugs?
    Is there a problem?
    Regards,
    George

  • I've a Single Folio app with 1526 articles. Its there a maximum number for articles per Folio?

    Helo! I've created a Single Folio app with 1526 articles.
    It works in the generic Adobe Content Viewer, but does not work on my custom App.
    It shutdowns after splash window.
    Could someone help me?
    Elismar

    Changing settings? What part of setting?
    My guess is that if you have so many articles, and each article need some particular files in the .folio file, then the Viewer make a mistake trying load all files in the same moment, causing auto shutdown. And, I'm using the iPad 3 to test it.
    So, would be fine if someone could give me numbers about the maximum number of articles suggested to put in a Folio Issue.
    And yes, I'm publishing the Bible!

  • Ideas for Adding a Quick Print Button to VA01 Overview Screen

    Problem Statement:
    Our users would like a "quick print" button on the VA01/VA02 application toolbar that immediately spools the Order Confirmation output to the printer.  Our users want to print the output on demand, i.e., they do not want the output to automatically be printed when the order is created because a printout is not always needed.  We already have condition records created with Dispatch Time set to 3 - Send with application own transaction.  However, it takes 7 or more clicks to print the output on demand by navigating the menu (Extras > Output > Edit...Further Data...etc.) and changing the Dispatch Time to 4 - Send immediately when saving.  This is a big ergonomic issue and a time killer.
    Although the number of clicks to print are less when printing the output from the VA02 initial screen (via menu Sales document > Issue Output To), this is not acceptable when creating new orders.  Really need an on-demand, quick print button on the VA01 screen.  As an aside, we have a totally custom transaction for preparing sales order data (shopping cart-like way of finding materials and entering required data) that then calls VA01 and fills in all of the information.  When saving in VA01, the user is returned to our Z-transaction so asking the user to subsequently run VA02 to print is not practical.
    Current Output Determination:
    We have custom output type ZBS0 (copy of BS0).  Condition records for print medium are set to Dispatch Time = 3.
    Questions:
    1.  Searching these forums, it appears custom code (extension or user exit?) can be written to call RSNAST00, or something similar, to automatically send output having a Dispatch Time = 3.  Where can I find more information on exactly how to do this?
    2.  Do transactions VA01 and VA02 (Overview screens) have extensions that allow a print button to be added to the application toolbar?  We would want to call the custom printing code from the button to send the output.
    Any feedback on how others have solved this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Warm Regards,
    Rob
    P.S.  Using GuiXT is not an option for us.

    HI
    We had similar issues with printing packing list and picking list by the warehouse people.
    We created a new ztransaction with input fields of delivery number, output type, number of copies and a check box for repeat output(in case if the output was already printed).
    You can also create a new Z-transaction with input fields of Sales order number(mandatory field), output type (Default it with value of ZBS0), number of copies (default it with 1) and a check box. On executing the transaction You can provide a message if the output was already printed so that the user can select the check box to repeat the output and execute. You can also print multiple SO by giving a range value if required.
    If you do not want the user to enter the new ztransaction every time, try providing a menu path to the new z-transaction from the existing z-transaction which you are using for order entry.
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks,
    Arun.S

  • How to handle a large number of query parameters for a Browse screen

    I need to implement an advanced search functionality in a browse screen for a large table.  The table has 80+ columns and therefore will have a large number of possible query parameters.  The screen will be built on a modeled query with all
    of the parameters marked as optional.  Given the large number of parameters, I am thinking that it would be better to use a separate screen to receive the parameter input from the user, rather than a Popup.  Is it possible for example to have a search
    button on the browse screen (screen a) open a new screen (screen b) that contains all of the search parameters, have the user enter the parameters they want, then click a button to send all of the parameters back to screen a where the query is executed and
    the search results are returned to the table control?  This would effectively make screen b an advanced modal window for screen a.  In addition, if the user were to execute the query, then want to change a parameter, they would need to be able to
    re-open screen b and have all of their original parameters still set.  How would you implement this, or otherwise deal with a large number of optional query parameters in the html client?  My initial thinking is to store all of the parameters in
    an object and use beforeShown/afterClosed to pass them between the screens, but I'm not quite sure how to make that work.  TIA

    Wow Josh, thanks.  I have a lot of reading to do.  What I ultimately plan to do with this (my other posts relate to this too), is have a separate screen for advanced filtering that also allows the user to save their queries if desired. 
    There is an excellent way to get at all of the query information in the Query_Executed() method.  I just put an extra Boolean parameter in the query called "SaveQuery" and when true, the Query_Executed event triggers an entry into a table with
    the query name, user name, and parameter value pairs that the user entered.  Upon revisiting the screen, I want the user to be able to select from their saved queries and load all the screen parameters (screen properties) from their selected query. 
    I almost have it working.  It may be as easy as marking all of the screen properties that are query parameters as screen parameters (not required), then passing them in from the saved query data (filtered by username, queryname, and selected
    item).  I'll post an update once I get it.  Probably will have some more questions as I go through it.  Thanks again! 

  • Ideas for Adding a "One Click" Print Button to VA01 Overview Screen

    I am not an ABAP developer and am doing some preliminary functional investigation to determine the best way to add a simple "one-click" button that allows a Sales Order Confirmation output to be sent to the printer.
    Can someone that really knows, tell me whether or not a custom menu item can be added to VA01 and VA02?
    I have seen lots of threads telling folks how to find user exits and menu exits for a program so I don't need that advice.  Rather, looking for someone who has already investigated this for VA01 and VA02 and knows the answer.
    Problem Statement:
    Our users would like a "quick print" button on the VA01/VA02 application toolbar that immediately spools the Order Confirmation output to the printer. Our users want to print the output on demand, i.e., they do not want the output to automatically be printed when the order is created because a printout is not always needed. We already have condition records created with Dispatch Time set to 3 - Send with application own transaction.

    Current Output Determination:
    We have custom output type ZBS0 (copy of BS0). Condition records for print medium are set to Dispatch Time = 3.
    Ideal Solution:
    Add a Print Icon to the application toolbar as described above.  From the button, write custom code that calls RSNAST00 (or is there a better way?) to send the output to the printer.
    Any feedback on how others have solved this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Rob

    Still looking for input from anyone that has had experience trying to add a menu item or toolbar button to VA01.  In our case, for sending output.
    Madhu,
    Please again read my Problem Statement in my original posting for the business requirement.  We are using ECC 6.0.  Yes, I know that transaction VA02 has Sales Document > "Issue Output To" that allows you to print.  However, we want to be able to print from the VA01 Overview screen after all of the sales order information has been entered.  We would like to be able to click a print button which would save the new sales order and immediately issue the output.  Again, we do not want the output to automatically print for every new sales order - we want to be able to print only when needed.  The conditions that a sales person would use to decide to print a copy are too numerous or varied so they cannot be automated in a condition record.  Of course we do use condition records for creating the output but we do not send immediately on save.
    When creating a sales order, the sales person does not want to do the extra clicks and key strokes to then navigate or open a new VA02 session to print from the VA02 initial screen.  And as described in my original posting, it is a lot of clicks navigate the VA01 Extras > Output menu to change the output to print on save.
    If you observe the "day in the life" of a sales person and see all of the key strokes and clicking required to create an ECC 6.0 sales order, you understand why the extra 7 to 11 clicks to just print an output is very annoying.  We have created a totally custom Z-transaction that allows our sales folks to capture everything need for a new sales order all on one screen with no tab views.  We then launch VA01 to fill in all of the data entered in our custom transaction.  This all works very well and is a huge time saver for our sales staff.  Now we are looking to save a few more clicks by simplifying the printing.

  • Maximum number of "Single values" accepted in "Multiple Selection"

    Hello gurus. I wonder if you could help me with this.
    You know how in transactions like the Data Browser (SE16), you want to look up records in a table, for example MARA.
    If you want to list only individual values, then you can press the yellow arrow to the right of the fields, and this opens the "Multiple Selection" window. In it you can add single values, ranges, etc.
    My question is, what is the maximum number of single values that you can put in here?
    For example, sometimes if I put like 5000 lines, instead of getting a result I get an ABAP runtime error that reads:
    Runtime errors         DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL
    Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB    
    "Error in the module RSQL accesing the database interface".
    But if I put around 1500 or less, then I don't have that problem. It lists the results just fine.
    How do I know what the maximum number of lines these functions allow?

    Hi
    Yes even I had the same experience and based on my several tests I dont put more than 2000 valeues.
    Please advice if you have any question.
    Thanks

  • Maximum number of blocks for a bigfile datafile?

    Hello,
    In 10g, when using bigfile tablespaces, the maximum size of a datafile can be between 8TB to 128TB depending on the block size (2K to 32K). The formula given to calculate the max size of a bigfile datafile is:
    Maximum datafile size = db_block_size * maximum number of blocks
    So my question is how do you calculate the max number of blocks? Oracle documentation states that the max number of blocks is 4,294,967,296 (4 billion) 2^32. But where do they get this number from? I read, on a different site (not Oracle), that it is the addressing scheme used in ROWID that changed permitting the possibility of addressing 4 billion blocks instead of 4 million:
    This is due to a new addressing scheme Oracle uses internally. Oracle ROWID, addressing a database object stored in a traditional SMALLFILE tablespace, divides the 12 bytes thusly: 3 bytes for the Relative File#, 6 bytes for the Block# and 3 bytes for the object. The same rowid addressing an object stored in a new BIGFILE tablespace uses the 9 bytes to store the Block# within the unique file, as there is no reason to use the 3 bytes for the Relative File# since there is only one file in that tablespace. Thus the new addressing scheme permits up to 4Gblocks (4,294,967,296) in a single data file and the maximum file size can reach 8 TB for a blocksize of 2K and 128 TB for a blocksize of 32K.
    But, even with this explanation, 4 billion still makes no sense because using 9 bytes equates to 2^72 addressable blocks, not 2^32. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thanks for the answer.
    I'm almost tempted to accept the explanation that the 4,294,967,296 addressable blocks is a 32bit platform limitation... Do you or anyone know of any official Oracle documentation explaining where they get this magic number from?

  • Maximum number of saved searches on home screen

    Does any one know what the maximum number of saved searches that will render on the home screen is?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The Saved Search uses a Drop Down List Box.
    The Drop Down List Boxes are used to display small amount of data only.The amount of data determines the time taken to load the list. I am not sure of any setting to restrict this number.
    I would say,it is a feature for the user to select data quickly.F4 helps are used if Value Helps have large data to display.
    However table CRMD_SHORTCUT contains the entries that are displayed in the Saved Search.

  • Maximum number of buttons (HELP)

    i have a project where i need 24 buttons. i have a project with 24 subtitles and on the main menu, i want to put all the languages so a viewer can select their language and then watch their subtitled version. the maximum number of buttons allowed on a 16:9 project is 18. does anyone have any solutions??

    LOL!
    I was a teacher once... and not been called smart since I threw away my suit to go to work in...
    It's as Eric said - you are creating an illusion using two menus that are identical. Menu 1 has 18 buttons that work, but has a background image that appears to show 24 buttons. The 18th button is invisible and auto-activates to menu 2, where you land on a button that is labelled as button 18. This menu has a background image that has the graphics for buttons 1-17 but no actual buttons in those positions.
    The trick is accomplished because as you move between buttons (using the remote) the last in the list (button 18) will jump to menu 2, where the real button 18 is actually the first on the new menu. Remember, the default button is usually the first you create (unless you specifically change this) so the user will see what looks like buttons 1-17 as a background image for menu2, and will appear to be on button 18, but will in fact be on button 1 of menu 2.
    You'll need another invisible button on menu 2 that is positioned above the default button so that the user can move 'up' from what they believe to be button 18. When they do so, the invisible button will auto-activate and go to the first menu, landing on button 17.
    There will be a pause as all this switching around takes place.
    This illusion prevents you from needing to use navigational arrows on the menus and the user can be fooled into thinking there are more than 18 buttons on a 16x9 menu.
    A different way to do what you want is to use a track as a menu, and use buttons over video. Works like a menu, but isn't restricted in the same way... but also doesn't provide some menu features, and you'll need to build it carefully.
    BoV uses an image set into a track and an overlay file, but then you create buttons using the subtitle stream. In essence you create a track, add the graphic for the background. You make sure the start marker is set to be a button highlight marker and then add a subtitle. With the subtitle active you can add button rectangles just as if you were in a menu and if you add the overlay file you can add all kinds of highlight shapes. Navigation and colours work the same as for menus, but remember a subtitle can only really have four colours - you'll perhaps need to compromise somewhere along the way in terms of how this all looks.
    It's an interesting challenge - I would like to hear how you get on with it.
