More than one movie plays

I have 4 movies on a page.
I want them to play at the same time, but that doesn't work.
How can I start playing 4 movies at the same time (i a folio).

I don't think you can. You might be able to get around it by doing it with
HTML and putting it into a web content overlay, but I've never tried to do
anything like that.

Projector that plays more than one movie

How can I make one projector play more than one movie? If the movies are protected, can the projector still play them? How can I link them? Thanks for your help.

Hi Norman,
I’ll elaborate on Sean’s reply.
As Sean mentioned you can use:
_movie.go("markerName", "MovieName")
To jump to the marker named ‘Markername’ in a movie called ‘MovieName’.
I tend to still use the verbose syntax
go to "markerName" of movie "MovieName"
If you had:
go to movie "MovieName"
you’d jump to the start of the movie (frame 1)
you could use:
go to movie "MovieName.dir"
but the '.dir' is not needed and if you create a protected DXR or DCR, the statement (without the movie extension) would work.
Now, if you want to avoid writing a unique behavior for every link you’re creating, I’ve got a tutorial that describes how to do it at:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/Lingo/paramDialog.htm
The above uses property variables and a parameter dialog box. It does require some understanding of programming (not too much though).
If you have D11.5, in the Library Palette, in the ‘Controls’, category, there is a ‘Jump to Movie Button’ behavior. This behavior can be dragged and dropped onto a sprite and then you can type in the marker name and movie name in a parameter dialog box to set the link for the sprite. I say D11.5 because while earlier versions of Director have this behavior, there is a small error (easily fixed) that makes the marker jumping part non-functional. Anyway, my behavior in my tut site does the same thing.

Adding More Than One Movie to a DVD

I am making iDVDs that are just about 15 minutes long. Since the dvd I am using holds up to 4.7 gigabytes, I would like to add more than one movie to a dvd project. How do I do that?

Look in the folder of an iMovie project. Let's say the project is called "My Great Movie"
There should be a small file with the name "My Great Movie.mov" That is the reference movie.
If you open iDVD directly rather than from iMovie and create a new iDVD project, just drag the reference movies onto the iDVD window and it will add the movie to your project.
On the finished DVD, you pick a movie to play it. When that movie finishes, it puts you back to the main menu to pick another.
Does this sound like what you want ?

SOLUTION: Chapters of more than one movie usable on a single DVD (w. iDVD)

If you want to put more than one movie with chapters made in iMovie onto a single DVD using iDVD--and have the chapters of all movies usable--do this: in iDVD, simultaneously drag the icons for all the movies you want to use into the background of the iDVD project. (Use command-click to select multiple movie icons, which are displayed on the right when "Media" and then "Movies" are selected.)

This is exactly what iDVD is made for.
Complete your iMovie projects and save each to disc.
Open iDVD selecting new project and choose a theme.
Now drag each of your five .mov files from the movie project folders into the screen area of your iDVD project.
You can now play around with titles different themes, backgrounds etc. to your heart's content.
Good luck.

Sharing More than One Movie with iDVD????

Okay.. I would like to know if there is another way to burn MORE than one movie an iDVD project. It seems that sending the movie straight to iDVD creates it's own project, and when you try to send another movie, it creates a completely different project. I know I can send a movie to Media browser but the quality of the movie is much better when I share it via the command in iMovie 09 (Shrare->iDVD). I've noticed that the file type is different when you send it to iDVD than when you put it in Media Browser as well.
Currently this is what I do.. Share it to iDVD.. Then I save that iDVD project to my desktop. I close iDVD, and start sharing my second movie. I then Control-Click on the first iDVD project and choose "Show Package Contents". I then dig into the trenches of that file to find the movie file. I then drag it to the desktop and delete the first iDVD project. When the new iDVD project gets made, I simply drag the file on my desktop into the iDVD project I want it in and then it works. This seems like a so un-apple way to do this though. I think iMovie definetly needs and update here. It's great if you ony want to burn a 1 movie to iDVD, but what if you want to do more. There should be a way to select multiple movies to send to iDVD or the option of adding a new imported movie to the current project in iDVD.
Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Is there a good export option in QuickTime? DV doesn't work because the quality I get is horrible. Somehow the shared to iDVD movie is the best quality and it's a QuickTime file via h.264. Is that my best export option? Sharing with the Media browser creates a mv4 file that's much smaller in size, even at the largest setting. The frames are more jumpier when iDVD finishes with it than the h.264 file.
Any better suggestions? Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple. I can't find it anymore on this website.

Q:Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple.
A: Launch iDvd and then scroll down to Provide iDvd Feeback.

Can I add more than one movie to the movie page

I'd like to put up a gallery of movies but don't know how to do that. How can I add more than one movie to the movie template page?
Thanks,
Gina

I use the YouTube widget. It has the advantage of not loading clips until one actually selects the clip. When I started I just dragged the quicktime files to the page...not a good idea as it forced a viewer to wait for all of them to load.
Miro has some options.

Using colorTrans:ColorTransform on more than one movie clip

Hi I am very new to Flash and action script so please bare with me...
I would like to be able to change the color of more than one movie clip in the same layer in the same frame. Basically I have place two different movie clips with defined instances,i.e. body and shoulder onto the canvas in one frame on the timeline.
I have created three different buttons (red_btn, blue_btn, and yellow_btn) to use to change the color of say the body or shoulder. I would use red and blue to change the body and say yellow and green to change the shoulders. These are also on the same layer and same frame on the timeline as the movie clips.
The problem I am having is how would I declare the two movies or variables to change independantly? Would I need to place one movie clip on one layer and then place the other on a different layer so that when I press the button I want i.e. the red button, it only changes the body and not the shoulders.
Here is my actionscript that I am using to change the color of the clip(s)
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.Transform;
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var trans:Transform = new Transform(body);
trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
blue_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0x0000FF; // blue
    trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
red_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0xFF0000; // blue
    trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
yellow_btn.onRelease = function () {
colorTrans.rgb = 0xFFFF00; //yellow
trans.colorTransform = colorTrans;
body here is my declared variable wich is the body of a shirt that is one movie clip. When you place both clips on the timeline ontop of each other, you basically get a shirt with different color shoulders and body.
I need some help to know if this is possible first of all, and then what would be the best way to delcare the variables in one actionsript.
Thanks and I am sorry, I just never learned much when it came to flash. Thanks for any patience and help anyone is willing to give me.

every movieclip has a transform.colorTransform property that you can use to assign a color transform (with any rgb property). so, for example:
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
import flash.geom.Transform;
var colorTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
bluebody_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0x0000FF; // blue
yourbodymovieclip.tranform.colorTransform=colorTrans;
blueshoulders_btn.onRelease = function() {
    colorTrans.rgb = 0xFF0000; // blue
yourshouldersmovieclip.transform.colorTransform = colorTrans;
yellowbody_btn.onRelease = function () {
colorTrans.rgb = 0xFFFF00; //yellow
yourbodymovieclip= colorTrans;
etc

Why cant i have more than one movie at a time

why cant i have more than one movie at one time

It may be how much space is available on your iPad. The average movie is around 2.5 gigabytes. If you reach your space limit then you can't download anything until you clear space.

HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

Applet Videoplayer, able to play more than one movie

Hallo,
I am looking for a sample applet that works as a video player.
I have tested the sample code provided by JMF, but there is no
example that allows to replace the current movie with a new movie.
In other words, I am looking for a applet program, which allows me
to give in new movie adresses and so to reload the player with a
new film.
Thanks in advance

I do not know if I am using a flvplayback component. I am using "import video" - using the URL. I am using a skin provided in flash. Is that a flvplayback component?
I am not using flv if that matters (using h.264 - f4v I believe it is called).
Where do I put this code you have provided? I find this the most confusing part of Flash - I never know where to insert provided code.
Does it go in the original swf file (if so - where?), or does it go in the main swf (where all the swfs would play one after the other) - and if so, where exactly?
I don't really get how I load more than one swf in a main file to begin with either...... as I said - when I try - I get a loop of two frames - like an animation - it's not playing the full videos (with page setup), and then moving onto the next one. This is where I get lost - and tutorials are not being very helpful (as they deal strictly with video - often not continuous play, but user controlled, OR, they provide code with no directions where to actually put things).
Do I import the swf into the master swf? Or just use code to tell it where the files are??
Feel free to use small words and speak slowly. I haven't used this program before, and it seems very different from building a website with, say CSS for example (something I DO know how to do). I appreciate specific directions (or tutorials that provide the specific directions that address this question....)
BTW - and overall ty for your continued assistance. If I had more time, I would pick up a book and work through things slowly - but I need to get at least a few things working to hand in the art piece for school - doesn't need to be finished, but needs to at least demonstrate a few of the website's overall features. I fully intend to do more detailed learning later to finish the piece outside of class.

Can you have more than one movie per page?

Hi, I am creating a web site and have some movie content on some of the pages. Can you have more than one quicktime file on each page? Reason I ask is that on one page I have put 3 movie files but only one shows up when I run the site online. I am not using .mac. The website is on grapeape dot co dot uk and if you look at the examples page you should see what I mean. I get one video that works and 2 large "Q"'s where the other videos were. Odd because it works locally. Any ideas? Many thanks.
Ben

Just noticed something. If you leave it until the first movie caches or preloads - the second one appears. Is there a way round this at all? Thanks. Ben

Adding more than one movie to iDVD - possible or not?

I assumed that you would be able to drop more than one imovie into a iDVD project and that it would add them as different menu items but it won't do it. Am I trying to do what is not possible? Any help is appreciated cheers!

Hi Cheeba
You got a very good link from Sue but it is fairly easy to describe.
A. Make Your movies in iMovie. (You can make them in one session but
it is easier to make each as an individual project)
B. Close iMovie
C. Locate Your moviprojects. Folders for iMovie 1-4 and an icon for v.5
(if icon: Ctrl-click on it and select show package)
in this there is a folder Share movie and in this a folder DVD. Here You
will find a QT.mov file with Your project name. Take this and drop it into
an open iDVD theme window (just inside the edge of this window).
repeat for the other movies.
OK that's all there is to it. You can try dropping the project folder/icon
instead of open it - it is supposed to work.
Yours Bengt W

Burning more than one movie to DVD

This'll sound dumb but I would like to know if (and how) I can burn multiple .dv movies using iDVD5. As far as I can tell, iDVD5 only handles one movie at a time. In iMovie5, I created a number of movies and shared/saved them at maximum quality (.dv). They play fine in QT. Now, I want to burn them all onto a DVD. Is this possible?

Hello Smiley,
you should create a new topic for your question. That way it will receive more attention and other users may benefit from possible solutions as well.
.... but as you are here already:
Do you have chapters in your movie?
If so check that you have set them according to "The Rules of Chapter Markers":
- No chapter markers on or within 2 seconds of a transition.
- No chapter markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or the end of the movie.
Also:
1. free some space on the startup drive (15-20GB recommended)
2. Trash preferences (com.apple.iDVD.plist) and empty trash
3. Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
Now create a new iDVD project and import your iMovie. Do not use the "Share to iDVD" option in iMovie, but save and quit iMovie then open iDVD and drag in your movie from the media pane or choose File > Import > Video.
. iDVD is NOT a disc burning app, so leave that work to software designed for it. Instead use iDVD's "Save as Disc Image" option (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
Use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
Use high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
hope this helps

More than one movie per DVD

I bought the Noddy series of DVDs for my son (20 DVDs, with Noddy teaching english - I'm portuguese).
Each Noddy DVD only weights a little more than 1Gb. So, theoretically, I would be able to stuff, at lest, 3 DVDs into a single DVD. That would be wonderful for carrying them in my car, for him to watch the DVDs in the backseat (less DVDs and also, the added advantage of not carrying the originals inside the, sometimes, very hot car).
So, is it possible to burn several movies into a single DVD? For viewing on the computer it may be a simple case of creating several sessions. But, for viewing on the DVD player, is it possible?
Thank you very much in advance for any reply.
Rui Batista

so, your question is:
how to get the content of mnay dvds on a single dvd?
a) copyrights - you have to clear how your local laws handle that...
b) copyright protection...- in case, "Noddy" has some, there are tools to "rip"...
c) two options: you can extract the .vobs of Noddy and re-create a new dvd-structure; advantage: no loss of pic quality; disadvantage: tricky, loss of orignal menu structure ...
d) demuxx DVDs, use tools as DVDxDV (free trial, 25$).. final files are huge, can be handled as "normal" iMovies...
loss of original menu structure again...
Plan B) record dvds with camcorder connected to dvd-player...
Plan C) use tools as "Handbrake" (probably illegal in Portugal) to convert content into much smaller mp4 for usage on laptops.....
