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 !

  • Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

    Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
    Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
    I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

    I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

  • Not possible to select the button i want with the remote on my menu..please help

    Am I missing somthing?  I have my menu all set up in DVD Studio Pro.  Everything works fine on the simulator.  After burning the DVD and playing it on a computer where i can use my cursor to pick the button, everything works fine.   However, when i put it on a DVD player, the buttons are never highlighted..i can't pick and choose a button with my remote.  Is  there something else i need to do for this to work?  Please help.

    Nevermind.... i figured it out myself.

  • 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!

  • My new Menu Button that came with the latest update is now missing.

    I removed the button because it was bothering me thinking there would be no repercussions but now I can't find it because it contained the customization menus. I have searched through the other menu options but the only route to the customization is now hidden in the now missing button.

    Are you using the Classic Theme Restorer extension?
    *You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
    *You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/learn-more-about-the-design-of-new-firefox
    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
    *You can make the the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • Menu  button Highlight

    Can't seem to figure out how to control colors for "hover" , "active" and "activated" on buttons. I created menu PS first then imported as menu and converted buttons. But Edit Menu Colors seems to have no affect. And my DVDs are coming out with no way to "see" the navigation that is happening when remote is used the select item.
    I know this is proable pretty basic But I'm stumped.
    Thanks

    Watching the "Highlight Colors - The Low-Down on Subpictures" video tutorial available
    here
    (via the Internet Archive) will probably help to understand how to use subpicture highlighting.

  • Layered Menu Buttons not working on DVD player

    Hello,
    I just made an SD DVD with several layered menus. The backgrounds for the menus come from photoshop files with different layers for normal, selected, and active states. Navigating the main menu works fine in the simulator and when I play the disc in my computer, however, I can not arrow to another button on dvd players. I have made several discs this way and this is the first time I have had this problem. My burn process is to make an image and then burn the image in toast. Any thought?
    -Brian

    Hi Brian - welcome.
    Layered menus are particularly tricky... they almost always require two actions from the user to get them working in a player. One click to land on the button and another to select it. This is really frustrating at times, but is down to the way the layered menus work.
    You can convert them to standard menus pretty easily though, and unless you absolutely need to have different layers I'd strongly advise that you do convert them. Standard overlay type menus work with a rollover type of effect, allow you to have an audio bed and work far faster on DVD players.
    The only time I'd stick with layers is when the selected state reveals a further piece of information that takes up most of the menu area. In all other cases I'd avoid them if I were you

  • Menu button highlights...25 seconds after menu already loaded!

    I am not having a good day!
    I go to my special features button click on it, it takes me to the proper menu, but no buttons are being activated...that is, 25 seconds later the first option finally gets highlighted! What in the world would cause this to happen?
    -Mike

    Check the inspector and where the loop point is. Buttons will not be available (the highlights or function) until the loop point

  • Remote Control Menu Button

    Starting from the top, I have a 1st play title menu (A) with 4 buttons that are targeted to 4 other menus (B) – each of which, have multiple motion buttons leading to individual clips (C).
    I would like to be able to click on the Remote Control Menu button anywhere within the DVD and have it return to the 1st play title menu (A). In the Disc Inspector, I have set the “Remote Control” pull down menu to the 1st play title menu (A).
    I can achieve what I want by clicking on the Remote Control “Title” button but not the “Menu” button. What am I missing?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sorry - I made an assumption that you were not able to go fro a track to the title menu... what you are asking is to go from a menu to the title menu by using the ;menu' key.
    Sadly, it won't be possible - the Menu key is designed to move only between tracks and menus. If you are in a track it will take you to a menu, once there, pressing it again willr eturn you to the track.
    You need to use the 'return' key to traverse through the menus, but it isn't a robust implementation in DVDSP.
    Therefore, the only way to accomplish what you want is to use the Title key on the remote control when in a menu... unless you add a button to each sub menu that jumps to the title menu.

  • Any updates on the remote Menu button

    I haven't seen anything lately on the issue of using the remote's "Menu" button to access play lists etc when the video ipod is hooked up to a TV via the doc and an AV cable. Are there any updates on this? I am getting kind of tired of having to walk over to the TV to change playlists, etc. etc.

    Well, I am taking about something a little different. Your link refers to what you see on your TV screen. I can get by without mirroring, its the remote i want to work better.
    When the 'iPod Dock with Remote' originally came out, a lot of us assumed that the "menu" button would work the same way as the "menu" button on the ipod itself, i.e. it would take you back one level. We also assumed that the volume keys would let you scroll up and down through items in a menu (not as elegant as the scroll wheel, but workable). And that the RWD and FWD buttons would work as they do on the ipod. All of this taken together would give you full operation of your ipod without having to touch it. Adding screen mirroring would be the icing on the cake for the dedicated couch potato.
    Unfortunately, the menu button is disabled on the remote when it comes to controlling an ipod... it only works for front row on a mac.
    Anyway, a lot of us were hoping this could get resolved through some kind of firmware upgrade to the ipod itself.

  • Chapter Highlight Order in Reflection White

    I'm having very frustrating problems with the chapter button highlighting order on a DVD created using the Reflection White theme. I have two pages with 6 buttons on each page. Each pages use a different highlighting order and neither page uses the order that I want.
    Each page has 6 chapter buttons arranged in two rows of three. The buttons where correctly placed in left to right, top to bottom order. This is the highlight order which should be used. If I'm starting with the upper left button highlighted, pushing the right arrow button on the remote should highlight the buttons in this order: UL, UM, UR, LL, LM, LR, UL, etc.
    The problem is that the actual highlight order is very different. One page produces the order: UL, LM, UM, LR, UR, LL, UL, etc. The other page has this order: UL, LL, LM, UM, LR, UR, UL, etc. Obviously, this is very non-intuitive and inconsistent.
    (Note: U = Upper, L = Lower, xL = Left, xM = Middle, xR = Right)
    I've tried everything I could think of to correct the order. I've tried creating new submenus and dragging the buttons to it in order, copying the buttons to it in order, copying the buttons in an order which would put them in their current highlight order, then rearranging them, and even digging into the project file using PListEditor Pro. It seems like iDVD is probably generating the order automatically as it's encoding the menus, and that the length chapter names may be affecting the order. (The names on my disc are very specific and can not be changed.)
    Has anyone figured out how to get the chapter menu buttons in Reflection White to highlight in a logical order rather than something that seems, well, like a drunken stagger?
    PowerBook G4/500   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The only solution I came up with was using the first theme page from Reflecton White. Then using portfolio color for the remainder theme pages. I too report the bug to Apple, there are a few other themes that work in the same fashion for example Reflection Black.

  • Unpredictable Menu Item Highlighting

    I am having trouble with button highlighting order. I created a project with two buttons on the main menu, both of which point to sub-menus. One sub-menu (SM1) points to slide shows and the other (SM2) to another set of sub-menus.
    On entry to SM1, the top button is highlit, as I expected, however on entry to SM2, the second button is highlit. Additionally, a few unpredictable highlighting orders within the sub-menus pointed to by SM2.
    I created the items within each menu in the order which I want to highlight them, i.e. from the top, down. I did not use free positioning and no menu contains more than 8 items, including the back button.
    Is there a way to change the order of the highlighting on my existing project? If not, what should I do in a new project to ensure the desired order?

  • Menu buttons not working/highlighting on burned DVD

    Hi all,
    So, I'm encountering a problem with my iDVD 7.1.1 project.  When I burn a DVD of my project and play it in my BluRay DVD player (It's a new LG), the menus on the first screen that come up work fine, but once I go to any menu off those, the highlight button color and button effect flash a few times on my first option (which, in this case, is "play movie") and then disappear.  I have a few other options in that same menu and I can't highlight any of them.  After about 5 or 10 seconds of pressing the select button on my remote, I can sometimes get the first "play movie" option to work, and my movie will start playing.  The project I've created works fine when I save it to a disc image, mount it on my computer, and play it in DVD Player- I can navigate perfectly through all my menus and all button highlighting works properly.  It also works perfectly previewing it in iDVD.  Per advice on the board, I've burned a DVD-R at 4x write speed with Toast, using the Disc Copy option and reading from my mounted image file DVD.  Media is Memorex.  I've encoded the DVD project at Professional Quality.  I suppose it could be an issue with my player, so I'm going to attempt to use another DVD player later today and see what happens.  Does anyone have any other suggestions or things I can try?
    Thanks in advance,
    Evan

    For anyone else that may encounter this problem, I found a solution on the boards that another user (colorgrader1) discovered: it has to do with static menus being set to a timed loop duration:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2242205?threadID=2242205
    If you set the loop time to "0 seconds," the problem is fixed and the DVD will play in standalone DVD players.
