Menu Glitch in 16:

I've got a 16:9 menu in an SD project that gets squeezed before going to a 4:3 video clip. I don't see this in a set-top box but I do in WMV player and the Apple DVD player. How do I eliminate the squeeze image appearing before the video plays?

Add a menu in between that is 16:9 and has a black clip as background. Set time out to 1 sec and action to the 4:3 track.

Weird Menu Glitch in Mail

When I right click in Mail, I get a weird glitch in the menu that comes up. The first line is blank. I can't click it. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it's just me.
Here's an example.

Disc Menu Glitch in PE 9 Question

Hello, been working with PE 9 DVD Disc Menus. I've done a search and couldn't find this topic. If there is a similar situation discussed, please direct me to it. Otherwise the situation is:
When selecting a standard Disc Menu such as "Slide Disc Menus, Slide Shows, Pan and Zoom", after all the edits are done, such as adding a still picture background, editing text, scenes, etc.), while previewing the Main Menu (hit Preview button in PE 9 Disc Menu edit screen and second window pops up showing the Main Disc Menu, where you can actually press Scenes, Play, etc.), during this preview and after burned to a DVD and watching the same Disc Menu on TV w/ the DVD in the player, the still image in the custom Disc Main Menu seems to flicker back and forth in about a few seconds intervals, constantly like a loop, and it goes from a clear image to a slight blurred image, and will even change the text color, even tho it shows the text as one color in the editing screen. This loop of going from a clear background image to a blurred one and flickering as such every second or so happens even while trying other types of Disc Menu setups in PE9. Is this just caused by the DVD recycling itself on standby and cannot really be delt with, or is this a glitch w/ PE 9? Was wondering how to keep the Disc Menu screen still, and with a constant clear image, etc.
The Disc Menu editing selections, etc. are as follows:
-Menu Background, Video Or Still (a still .bmp picture used), In Point= 0, Use Still Frame is unchecked and cannot be checked, and the same for Apply Default Transition before loop
-Audio, (I added a blank short audio clip because PE9 will not save your edited disc menus unless you assign some kind of audio clip file even if it's a muted sound), In Point = 00:00:00:00000, Apply defualt transition before loop is unchecked, duration is around a few seconds.
-Motion Menu Buttons, duration = 00;00;00;01
Thank You for any help/ideas.

What you have described for your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 disc menu situation is not normal.
Usual drill type:
1. Does problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you running from User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as from Run As Administrator applied to the program's desktop icon?
I have looked at the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 disc menu issue that you described and cannot confirm your feature malfunctions.
I have looked at Still replacement for the menu background, using still formats of bmp, jpg, png, and psd. The pixel dimensions were 720 x 480 and up.
It is true that the previewing in the disc menu section is not always good, but you say that you see the same issue before and after burn to.
Here is what I would like you to explore
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives is active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" has no impact on the situation, the delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in this 9.0 Folder should be the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. A new BadDrivers.txt file will be generated when you open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 after the deletion.
Make sure that Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives is active so that you can see the complete path cited.
3. If "1" and "2" have no impact on the situation, then we start thinking in terms of uninstall, ccleaner run through, and reinstall.
For this approach, do you have your purchased serial number, installation files or installation disc? Did you install your disc menus
from Content installation disc or from Adobe using its Content download link?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

DVD menu glitch at end of loop

I've just used iDVD '08 to create a project using the iDVD 6.0 theme “Reflection White”. The main menu loop runs a bit less than 30 seconds. In the iDVD app, the transition from the end of the loop to the beginning is seamless, both in the Motion mode, and in the Preview DVD Playback mode.
But after burning an image file and using DVD Player to play it, the menu “hiccups” at the end of the loop. Just enough to be annoying, but I could probably live with it.
So I burned a DVD. I have two DVD players, a LiteON LVW-5005 player/recorder, and an older Go-Video DVP-850 player. On the Go-Video the result mirrors what I saw playing from the image file with DVD Player on my iMac - a momentary hiccup at the main menu loop transition.
However, the LiteON is another story. When I play the DVD on that machine, the menu animation complete freezes at the end of the menu loop. However, the menu selection still works, I can play the movies, and it is fine until it returns to the main menu and hits the end of the loop again. When it freezes, I can also hit the Menu button on the remote to restart the menu loop.
I discovered a slight cosmetic problem in the menu (highlight for a menu selection), so while I was fixing that, I increased the loop time by a couple of seconds (the default loop time was 30 sec, and I had shorted it to about 24 sec to match the background music). When It finishes encoding the new version, I'll burn another DVD and see if it makes any difference.
Anybody have any suggestions or comments?
Thanks.

Can you also let us know how well this particular media works out for you and those whom you issue copies to? According to Len Goff, TDK isn't much better than Memorex (a brand to be avoided also especially on older macs). I can confirm this with TDK 2x but not with anything rated at a higher speed for this one brand.
I've been a video hobbyist for for many years. In the past several of years, I've given away hundreds of DVDs containing performance videos to the entertainers at a nearby theme park I frequent. I've been getting my TDK printable DVR-Rs on 100-disc spindles at Costco (though recently, I think the Sony brand has replaced them on the shelves out there - don't know who makes those). I can't recall the last time I had a disc write failure, and I don't believe I've ever had anyone complain that the disc I gave them had problems (but I suppose it's possible they were just being polite ).
In the last two years I've been burning most of my DVDs in my MacBook (late 2006), and on an external LaCie D2 Quadra attached to my trusty old iMac G4 800. A few months ago, I replaced that iMac with a new 24” iMac. The DVDs I'm referring to in this thread were burned on the new iMac's internal burner and the LaCie external (attached to the new iMac). So I haven't been trying to burn these DVDs on older Macs.
I delivered 3 of the DVDs in question to a friend this evening (video of her sister's Quinceanera celebration), and described the specific problem I was seeing. I asked her to report back if the family had any trouble viewing them. So we'll see.
As soon as I can, I'm also going to get some of the brands recommended in this thread and see if they make a difference.
Thanks.

Button not selectable/glitching menu

I am authoring a DVD in Encore. I have made a menu with a movie background and two seperate buttons (each links to a seperate movie file). I have made the buttons by selecting the text tool from the top left of the screen, typing a word, then selecting Object/Convert to Button. My two buttons are placed one above the other. When I preview the menu in encore, I can select each button with the mouse. But when I press down on the virtual dvd remote, I can't select the second button. None of the arrow keys on the virtual remote will allow me to get from the first button to the second (and vice versa). Also, every time I press one of the arrow keys (or put my mouse over one of the buttons) the menu glitches, the music stopping and the image distorting for a second.
Both of these problems were confirmed when I burned off a DVD and played it in my DVD player on my TV.
The first movie file is dynamically linked from Premiere Pro. The second is an .avi, exported from Premiere and imported into Encore. The background video for the menu is also an .avi.
Premiere Export Media Settings:
PAL widescreen
100% quality
Sound 16 Bit
48khz
Encore Settings:
Maximum Audio/Video Bitrate: 8.0 Mbps
Audio Transcoding Scheme: PCM.
I suspect that the way I'm creating buttons is wrong, and that this might explain both problems... However, the two problems could also be seperate.
If you have any suggestions about how to get fix these problems, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Cheers!
-Robert

Select the button routing in menu view and confirm that the navigation is set up correctly. If you want/need to change it, make sure automatic routing is turned off.
If that is not it or you have trouble checking that, post a screen shot of the menu viewer with button routing selected if you can.

Home Sharing prevents iPod playlist menu from scrolling‽

I've run into a problem where my playlist menu can become hidden underneath the "Now Playing" box in the iPod app on the iPad 1. The menu can scroll, but as soon as I lift my finger the bottom playlists drop back underneath the "Now Playing" box. This prevents me from selecting them. The culprit is Home Sharing. As soon as I have a WiFi connection, Home Sharing kicks in and the "Library" option appears at the top left. From this point on, the bottom of my playlists becomes unaccessible.
The obvious solution is to either shut off Home Sharing (which I have done in preferences on my iPad. It's painfully slow anyway, especially compared to using the Remote app) or I could sync fewer playlists. But neither solution is elegant. This should just work. I was wondering if anybody else had run into this problem, and I was wondering if you had heard of a solution.
Here's a screen cap of the issue: https://skitch.com/darkstream/r7iku/ipad-home-sharing-menu-glitch

I didn't realize we could post pix now, so here is the linked graphic so you don't have to leave this site.
Looks like somebody else has run into this problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15005124#15005124). They found a workaround using Search, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm hoping other people will sound off here. I'm curious to know if others have experienced this.

Ever since I updated, I can no longer right click on links, choose "Open Link in a new tab" and expect it to do anything at all. WTF!

I should note, I am using the latest version as of today, I am using the portable version, and I have a TON of addons, a list of which I can post if I have to. Any Ideas what could be causing this? I use the "Open link in a New Tab" option every single day. I don't want to have to hit some special button to do so like my current temporary workaround with tab mix plus, I miss the old method, the option is still there in the context menu, but it won't do a single thing ever :(. Also not working is "Open Link in This Tab" and "Open Link in Duplicated Tab" (Not that I ever use those ones so who give a F). "Open Links in New Tabs" Still works though, but not for single links, so its not an ideal workaround. I can't afford to simply reset the browser, my settings, my addons, everything would be gone. I could back it up with FEBE but then I would be right back where I started. :(

Guys, I should wrap this up and let you all know so this page may help those experiencing the Firebug Context Menu Glitch. It's messed up, that was one of my favourite programs :(. Now looking for a version that doesn't do that.

Upon upgrading to Firefox7 (Mac) my Wacom stylus button (latest driver) which is programmed to issue a Command modifier to open links in a new tab, though this has worked for years and still works in Safari, etc. Any ideas?

This issue just began with the FF7.01 but has always worked in previous versions. Yesterday I did install the FF7.0 and I don't recall experiencing the issue. Please note that it works correctly holding the actual command key, but no longer with the Wacom pen button held.
It was nice to always be able to use one hand to click and also make the decision about opening in a new tab or not.

DVDSP QT loop in menu drop zone button has glitch at end of loop

I've tried reading all the other posts but none seem to exactly address my issue:
I have a simple QT that loops in one of my menu buttons, and the end jump is set to start at chapter 1, but each time it gets to the end, there's a split second of a "glitch" where the entire menu "shutters" if you will... you can't see it in simulate-it only happens on the final burned DVD test. It's not a smooth loop! and it makes the other buttons on the menu twitch... any clues?

Hi Yvonne - it is completely normal for there to be a pause or stutter of some kind as the menu loops, but it shouldn't be a jarring change. The reason it happens is because the laser playhead has to physically relocate itself back to the start of the material, refocus and begin playback again - it takes a little time, and different players do this more smoothly that others. The best thing to do if it is happening too frequently is to extend your footage for over a minute or two and hope that not too many people watch your menu for that long.
You could also try fading out at the end before the loop, but to be honest I've never had much luck with that. The best approach is simply to minimise the number of times the loop takes place, by extending the menu time (and the footage that goes in it of course).

MBA glitches, esp menu bar

So I've had some glitches with my 10-day old top-end 11" MBA
First, Flash and Java worked for 3 days, then didn't for another 3 days, then started magically working again--no updates, no nothing, just decided to work again.
The sleep/power/down/wake issue that some other posters have reported, where when I close the lid and it sleeps it actually appears to power down because the only thing that wakes it is the power button and then it starts up as if it were shut down instead of just sleeping.
The next issue is that it doesn't always remember my home network password upon wake, and I have to re-enter it. Not a big problem, but happens also on other networks when I'm out of the house, and I have to keep re-entering passwords for networks I have already joined. Annoying.
Now, as of last night, none of the menu bar icons except Growl are showing. No clock, no battery percentage, no spaces, no wi-fi icon, not even spotlight. ***?
I did disk repair and repair permissions, and nothing. Any suggestions on how to fix my menu bar? I rely a lot on the battery percentage and clock when I'm working, and I use the other stuff regularly too.
Help!

Oh ya, System Prefs freezes when I go into the clock
The easiest solution is to just take it back. I am lucky not to be plagued with such disorders.

Keypad + Menu Volume Glitch

Not sure if this is a major issue or not but it is for sure a big bug. The controls for adjusting the volume on both the keypad and the one on the menu bar are both glitching on me. When I go to turn the volume up or down it freezes, taking at least 2-3 seconds to kick in to realize I adjusted it. Any help on this would be great.

I'm not sure if this is related although I've had very similar behaviour under Mac OS X 10.3.x if I modified either volume or screen brightness while it was asking me to enter my username and password when either it was waking from sleep or coming out from the screensaver. This behaviour stayed until I restarted my PowerBook.

TS2610 Can png menu overlays glitch in chroma button colors?

I created a png overlay with blue dots for buttons. I created my buttons around the dots only. Next to the dots are text. When I chroma out the blue and change its activation color, all of the text begins to highlights in that same color. It looks hideous. Is there an explainationfor this? I've never had this happen to me before. It's not chroma keying the button boundaries, it's chroma keying the entire layer.

Text highlights in DSP will never win the award for outstanding aestetics. It can be done but I personally avoid them. Stay away from red highlights and san serif fonts.
The overlay layer can have up to three color highlights than can be assigned any RGB value.
The colors are black, red, & blue.
If you are trying to have the shape highlight appear with a highlight color and the text appear at the same time unfettered by color I would not include it in the overlay layer. Overlay should only be used to tell the program what you want to highlight. If DSP sees black it makes it color a, red? make it color b, blue? make it this color c.
You could make the shape black & the text red. Assign different HL colors and then when the button is selected the they would appear with different highlights.
A layered psd could solve this but I find that they slow down menus so much that they aren't even worth considering. If including the text on the background(all the time) isn't a option than you could make duplicate menus with button auto jumps to give the user the illusion of the text coming on with the button highlight. But in reality the text isn't part of the highlight it just appears on the second menu. Since the menu is a duplicate only the text and the highlight change.
