Menu/Button Question

I'm building a menu in Encore CS5 and am trying to fix it so that when a button is selected the text changes color and a selection tool next to the text appears (both seperate colors).
I've managed to do this by having both as seperate highlights, but the overlay of the text is obviously really low quality and makes the text look awful. Unfortunately the client wants this functuality, so I thought I'd look at using multiple menus, but not really sure where to start.
Is there a tutorial or something that can show me how to work it so when you press down on the remote, instead of going to the next button, it jumps to another menu (that way I can change text colors without using highlights)?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a beginner at Encore. I used to use DVD Studio Pro and knew how to do this in that program, but don't have access to it anymore.
Thanks for all your help.

Each button in menu 1 is linked to a different menu, which is identical except for the highlight for that button position. The "up/down" (any navigation action that movies the position into the button) results in the button activating (i.e. not the "select behavior, but the activate behavior of that button in that menu). The link is its other menu, where it looks "selected." On that menu it is linked to its movie, so that hitting enter plays the movie.
Sorry I can't find the tutorial I thought someone did on this.
Edit: fyi, this does not work on a computer using the mouse, because a mouseover does not select the button. If your software player has a "remote," this will work.

Layered Menu Button Question...

Using layered menus throughout my project as it is fitting with our concept, but have never used them before. I have a question:
I have several images on a flattened layer of a PSD file that I want to use for buttons on any given screen. Can I use an overlay to give an outer glow effect to a given button image? (Don't really want to go back and add extra layers in the psd for each button state if I can show selections some other way.)
My limited experience has shown me that each time you add layers to the PSD file, it changes the layer selections settings on the menus where that PSD is used, as if DVDSP simply counted the depths of the layers and wasn't using the layer name as its reference.
In short, what is the best way to show the user he has selected a button on a layered menu without adding more layers to the original PSD, if possible?

So let me get this straight about layered menus... especially in my case: the final background document needs to be complete before I begin adding buttons or building the project, and any additional layers added will throw off any work done. Correct?
Unsure of that, been awhile since I played with layered menus, due to their limitations on some players, slower speed etc. so I stay away from them (and so many others) for the most part when creating a "real" DVD (as oppossed to just some one off type fun things for my friends, family and myself.)
I do not recall having the issue that you seem to have when renaming - having things switched up - but it has been awhile and I think I probably had everything laid out ahead when I did it. But if you are seeing that happen then have the menu set as close as possible before using it.

Clickwheel/Menu buttons stopped working + ASP/Warranty question

Today, my year old 2nd gen nano's clickwheel and menu button stopped working. The hold button works, Itunes sees the thing, disconnecting the headphones does what it supposed to do and everything appears to be in order, except for the buttons. Neither resetting, nor restoring the software did resolve the issue and I am left with a small, elegant, brushed aluminium finished brick with music in it.
Luckily, an Apple ASP isn't particulary far from where I live and I could and probably should bring it there. However, I am currently in a country that is not the one I bought the Ipod in and my purchase receipt and anything else that might have came with it is some 3000 km away.
Does anyone know if bringing just the player to an ASP (it does have a serial number) has any remote chance of getting a warranty repair? And, if not, is it worth it even bothering with the repair, in terms of cost?

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.

How to use menu button on apple remote with mac mini

I purchased a late 2012 mac mini and the silver remote. The remote automatically opens iTunes, plays and pauses songs, adjust the volume, and skips forwards or backwards just fine. I had no trouble linking it the the Mac Mini either. So we have established it is working and comunicating fine with my Mac. My question is: what the heck is the "menu" botton for and can I use it with my Mac Mini? I'm using OS X 10.9.2.

The Menu button does nothing
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4143595
There are apps that will help using the remote. See:

DON'T HAVE A HELP TAB IN MY MENU BUTTON. CANT EVEN COPY A URL IN MY ADDRESS BAR OR REFRESH IT ?

how on earth can you help people when all you do is direct them to another page to click on something that doesn't help. this new version is awful . i cannot even put a url address in my address bar, nor can i refresh the address bar as it won't highlight at all. i keep going to all sorts of help pages and they are no help at all. i have used firefox for years and never had so much trouble with anything. the worse thing is your support and not being able to talk to any about anything. as it is i have to go all over just to find maybe an answer to this.i am using a background theme that i used before the new updated version and had no problems with it. if your themes are not compatible then why have them ??? the address bar problem is not present if i get rid of the theme and use the plain boring theme that you have . all i want to know is why this issue is happening with the theme i am using. and if possible it would be nice to get an answer in my email so i don't have to click on a dozen help pages trying to find it . thank you ..
edit by a moderator: if you want to be able to discuss the issue with someone, don't do it in a shouting format (all uppercase), as this is considered rude on the internet - therefore i have converted your text into normal characters. in addition i have removed your address from public display since you will be notified per mail once somebody replies to the thread anyway. (philipp)

'''What is your support question?''' This? CANT EVEN COPY A URL IN MY ADDRESS BAR OR REFRESH IT ?
A number of other users have mentioned a similar problem. 
Chances are that you have an add-on installed that isn't completely compatible with Firefox 29. '''You''' need to figure out the culprit and disable it until an update for that add-on is available.
If so, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Adobe Pro 9.0 crashes on menu button clicks in Citrix

This bug is occuring while using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 using Citrix MetaFrame Presentation server as a remote application. I have already posted this on the Citrix forums, but it might be worth a shot posting here to see if anyone can help.
This may sound like an oddball problem, and it is, but Adobe Acrobat 9.0 crashes whenever you click on any of the quick menu options. We have found a few ways around this issue, but some of the features eventually
bring you to a command that as soon as you click on it, the program crashes.
There is no error message, the program just disappears. I am able to run Adobe Pro just fine on the console, with all of the buttons working normally. But when accessed through the MetaFrame Presentation Server, it seems like the connection isn't functioning at 100%. Sometimes even right-clicking on a certain box will close the program.
One specific example, (the reason I can no longer dodge the problem) is the "Combine PDFs" feature. Obviously, clicking the "Combine" menu button will crash the program. But the same action is accessible through the file menu. However once you have that command open, the "Add File" button is the only way to select which files you wish to combine, and this button crashes the program. Now that I have no choice being that there is a feature our users need but cannot use, I am posting this question because my need is dire.
I have done many hours of research on this issue, and haven't had any luck. I've already tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Pro, making sure it has the latest updates, etc. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

frstrsystemI make a fix, here it is:
1) I launch acropro 9 on the server, I go to the view->toolbars->tasks menu to the "tasks" toolbar (which cause the crash).
2) on the server, run regedit and go to current user\software\adobe\adobe acrobat\9.0 and export this hive on a file like acrobat9_user.reg
3) create a acro9pro.cmd file with
regedit /S n:\scripts\acrobat9pro_user.reg
@start "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\" Acrobat.exe
save this file on the server
publish your app and call the CMD instead of the acrobat file
trick; you can map drive into the cmd so that user can access network shares and not only the server on.

How do I make a "Title Menu Button" that is an Arrow?

I am using DVD 08 with iMovie 06.
I set my chapters using iMovie 06. When I shared with iDVD 08 everything looked OK.
I normally do six scenes however this time I wanted eight. In the past when using iDVD 08 (or iDVD 06) there is always a blue arrow in the scene selection menu that when selected would take you back to the main menu.
For some reason I do not have the Blue arrow. I was able to create a new "Title Menu Button" but none of the options I can find is the default blue arrow.
If iDVD defaults to the blue arrow in this location why can't I find it as one of the many choices iDVD gives for a Title Menu Button?

Hello, Ziatron,
I use the same, iM6 with iDVD 8.
I am not sure I follow you. You mean that you make 6 or 8 chapter markers for this movie?
What theme are you using? If you use a theme that places 6 scenes on a submenu, iDVD will automatically create a second submenu with the remaining 2 scenes. Each submenu has 2 arrows to allow you to go back to the previous menu, or to the next submenu, except the last submenu which has only 1 arrow to go back to the previous menu.
If you want all 8 scenes on the first submenu, you can go to the submenu with the last 2 scenes and select them, then 'Copy' then go back to the first submenu and 'Paste' them. You may have to reposition the scene titles to accomodate the new ones. Be sure to go back once again to the submenu and delete the copied scenes. When you do that, go back to the previous submenu where all 8 scenes are, and you will see that the forward arrow to the last submenu is no longer present, since there are no longer any scenes to be in a separate submenu.
I have made over 100 movies, each with many scenes, but I don't have any submenus that show an arrow to return to the main menu, unless there is only one submenu.
If you want to add an entire submenu....say of extra photos/videos/etc. you can use the + button on the lower left of the iDVD screen to add. A folder will appear on the menu to which you have added the submenu, and when you open the folder, you will see the new submenu, with its return arrow.
You can change the folder icon to just a title using the 'Buttons' tab, but you cannot create navigation arrows yourself.
Please post back if I am missing your question.

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)

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 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. 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.

How to get rid of new menu button on far right side of toolbar

Honestly, I don't know why developers can't offer us new features which we can use or not use, by choice. Instead, things are forced upon us.
Would someone please tell me how to get rid of the new menu button on the right side of the toolbar?
There doesn't seem to be any option to remove it via the Customize toolbars window.
Thank you very much.

Hello brynn2,
First of all thank you for understanding us and sorry for the delay, it has really been a busy week for all of us out here.
The interface you see in Firefox 29 is a major re-design (first one since Firefox 4) of Firefox's user interface called "Australis."
You can use Classic Theme Restorer to get the previous look back. https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

5-Gen Nano Menu Button Not Working

My first post - Cannot get the Menu button to function on my 5th generaton Nano, always has functioned before. So I cannot get it to perform a reset! When I toggle the Hold switch & then hold the Center & Menu buttons down simultaneously, the Ipod turns off but I never see the Apple logo! Tried this while connected to different USB ports, while connected to external power, and while unconnected.
Also been through all the Apple Website directed-actions including uninstalling all Itunes, Quick-time, and related programs and folders (except was unable to delete Temp folder).
I have reinstalled Itunes, and restored the Ipod to no avail!
Anyone have a clue for me?
Thanking you all in advance…

You posted to the wrong area of discussions. This is the 5th Generation iPod group (the video full sized iPods that were released previous to the "Classic" models). If you are asking a Nano question, you want to post to this area...

Remote Menu button: to the chapter menu or the main menu?

Using DVD Pro (version 4.2.1) for the first time, and I've discovered a lot of fun elements. Here is a question about the remote control settings.
I want people to be able to return to the +main menu+ if they want while playing the track, by pressing 'menu' (and I've found the resume feature, too). However, the track has chapters, which are assigned to 3 chapter menus. So, when they are playing a particular chapter, i want them to be able to return from it to the +chapter menu+ it came from, by pressing the 'menu' button.
However, this doesn't work: when playing the video track, pressing the 'menu' button takes me to the chapter menu assigned to that particular chapter, not the main menu that I assigned to the track.
Well, I see in the handbook that the marker remote setting takes precedence over the track setting ... so which would you find preferable:
1. when the viewer is playing the video, the menu button: goes back to the main menu.... then when the viewer is watching a particular chapter, pressing 'menu' also goes back to the main menu, instead of the chapter menu, so viewer has to navigate back into the 'scenes' menu
or
2 when watching the whole video, pressing 'menu' takes the viewer to the chapter menu and then has to 'up' to the Main menu.... and therefore when watching a chapter only, 'menu' button returns to the particular chapter's menu, which is fine.
I thought I would have the 'menu' button return to the chapter menu:: up button for faster/easier access to the main menu, for viewers just watching the video, and convenience for viewers watching a chapter.
What is the more experienced opinion?
thank you
Elizabeth

Hal MacLean wrote:... 'Stories'. If you are playing the track from your main menu, then the menu call for the track should take you back to the main menu. If you are on a chapter menu and start playback then instead of going to the chapter marker, go to a story that contains the chapter marker instead. The story can also have a menu call and end jump set.
Ahh!
The thing is, if you start a chapter playing, do you want the footage to continue to the end of the track, ....
Yes, that's exactly what i want, and as above, for the chapter in the chapter menu to return to that chapter menu
If the former, put all of your markers into a single story and set the menu call to go back to the chapter menu.
Thank you!
I had already created stories from the second track on the dvd, with each one having an end jump back to the story menu and as no one had replied to this post, i had decided to make the chapters in the main track into stories too, but wanted them to continue into the next chapter. In fact i'd already created these 11 stories, some with 2 chapters in them, when I read your post.
So i did as you said and put all the chapter markers into one story, with no end jump for the chapters, but a menu call from the story to the 'chapter' menu instead of the main menu. Much cleaner than the way i had started to do.
And it works just the way i want it to : track's menu call is to the main menu, 'chapter' menu calls are to the chapter menu. Thank you so much!

Menu Button to End Workout Does not Work!

I recently got a nike + kit for a new 16 GB Ipod Nano.
I've successfully started and enjoyed several workouts with the kit. However, when I am done with my workout, and I attempt to "end my workout" by depressing the Menu button, nothing happens. It's as if the Menu button does not work. This effectively locks my Ipod in the Nike Plus workout. I've had to reset my Ipod in order to get out of the workout. Needless to say, my workout is not recorded, and I am not interested in constantly resetting my Ipod as a long term solution to ending my workouts.
Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue? I have not tried resetting my Ipod to factory default settings. I do have the latest firmware loaded on my Ipod, and the "hold" switch is not on when this happens.
Thanks!

This just in from Nike on how to retrieve lost run data for Windows users. Once he sends me the Mac version I will post that too.
Hi Shana,
This sounds like it is a really frustrating issue. I would like to help you resolve it.
So far you have done a soft reset on the iPod, turned off spoken feedback, and checked for software updates. If your workouts were saved in your iPod, the following instructions will help you recover them.
If you have a Mac system, please let me know and I will you send you the Mac instructions.
Re-uploading a workout (Windows)
1. Dock your iPod Nano
2. Open Itunes, select your iPod, and go to the summary tab
3. If the "enable disk use" box is not checked, check it and click Apply
4. Open My Computer; go to tools, folder options, and the view tab
5. If "Show Hidden Files and Folders" does not have a green dot next to it, select it and click Apply.
6. Close the Folder Options window and find your iPod on My Computer. It should be listed as a removable drive.
7. Open the following folders to reach your Sensor folder: iPod_Control\Device\Trainer\Workouts\Empeds
8. When you are in the Empeds folder, you will see a folder with a name that matches the serial number on your receiver. This is the Sensor folder.
9. Open the Sensor folder and you will see two folders, Latest and Synched.
10. Open the Synched folder and find the corresponding .xml files (date stamped) missing from your Nike+ account.
11. Move these files to the "Latest" folder. (You can either drag them to Latest or you can use the Edit menu to cut and paste them into Latest.)
11. Close the My Computer window
12. Go back to iTunes and safely un-dock your iPod Nano. iTunes will need to stay open.
13. Reconnect your iPod Nano, then select the check box to "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" and click Apply at the bottom-right of the screen.
14. The missing runs will be re-synced.
If your iPod software is up to date and this continues to happen I recommend restoring the iPod. Keep in mind that restoring the iPod will permanently erase all of the data on the iPod.
If you restore the iPod and this issue continues to happen, please take the iPod to an Apple retail store for technical assistance or call 1-800-263-3394.
If you have additional questions related to Nike+ or if you need to reach Nike+ technical support, please email us or call us. Our phone number is 1-800-379-6453, option 3. We are available 7am -3:50pm PST seven days a week.

The menu button is not working on my iPod Nano

I cannot get back from anywhere. Once I have seleceted a track to play, the menu button does not work so that I cannot get back to all music or to choose other options such as radio. It does not make a click sound. It works occaisionally (once a week). Any ideas? Anyone had this problem before?
