.MOV file that insists on not playing before the main menu

Hi!
I have a little Movie(.mov) that I want to play before the main menu shows up. I am setting it as first play.When I test my dvd project it works. But when I build it and test it outside encore cs3 it doesnt appear.
what is wrong with it?

As Eric said, this can't be done. It's not a limitation of DVDSP as such, but the way DVDs in general work. Pressing stop means.. stop!
What you might consider is using the 'menu' button to go to a menu, or the 'title' button to do the same thing. I don't mean that to sound sarcastic at all - your request to use 'stop' is a pretty frequent one and generally folk want to go to a menu. Tis what the menu key was designed to do, of course...

Can you have anything play before the DVD Menu using Premiere Elements 9?

Hi,
I'm new to this and creating a DVD with photos and video from my sister's wedding. Does anyone know if you can have anything play before the DVD Menu appears?
Thanks,
Angie

Many of us use DVD Architect Studio as a supplement to Premiere Elements, because it's such a powerful DVD authoring app and it only costs $39 when yo download from Sony Creative Software.
I've written a book on DVD Architect Studio 4.5 -- and my new book for DVD Architect Studio 5 will be available on Amazon.com at the end of this month.
And, yes, it absolutely shows you how to add a video clip before your menus!

How do I add video to play before the actual menu?

I want a warning to pop up before the actual menu and can't figure it out. I just installed DVD Studio Pro today after using iDVD for over a year. Please help me out with some detail! Thank you so much! Also, and this sounds terribly stupid, but how do you add audio to the menu?? Sorry! But thanks!

Hi Alex
Create another menu and put your warning there. Set your "at end" to time out and set your action to the Main Menu. Drag your video and audio assets from the assets to the menu viewer. It helps to read the manual first then ask questions
Good luck...let us know how it goes.

In the download box, the check box for "always do this for this type of file" is grayed out for the type of file I want, and that application does not appear in the application menu, so how do I set it to perform this function every time?

The file type in question is InCopy, and the download box acknowledges that program as the type to open it with, but I never want to open it; I always want to save it. This feature works fine with other file types, but not with InCopy. I download thousands of files, so automating this is very important.

How do I get the same song to play on the main menu and during scene select

I would like the music to play continuously throught the menu and scene selection. As it is I have to drag the audio file into each scene selection, and the music starts at the beginning.
At least, is there a way to remove the awful sound track that iDVD has on the themes?
iMac 20 core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes I can add audio, how do I get the same song to play throughout the chapter menus? I have 30 "chapters", which are scenes from an hour of home movie. Can the same song play continuously throughout the different chater menus?. As it is now, I have to drag an audio file into every submenu, and it starts the song at the beginning for each chapter menu.
Otherwise, that same song that is preloaded on the theme is played. I hope this makes sence, kind of hard to explain. Thanks

How can i recover corrupt .mov files that quicktime does not recognise?

we recently 'lost' a whole day's footage by accidentally deleting it. in trying to recover these files we have used many different programs and have had odd results.... sometimes the data is recovered and shows only thumbnails but not the proper film and othertimes says tht quick time cannot open the link because it doesn't reconise the codec. these clips were filmed with a Canon SLR camera and we have searched the reformqatted sandisks as well with the same result.... quicktime does not recognize the file.
any thoughts? it would be a tragedy to lose this footage... well not really, but you know - a whole day's work!
thanks in advance for your help.

I managed to rescue damaged AVCHD footage using photorescue. Some files were not complete, but I got them to play by trying different players like VLC, or mpeg streamclip, then exporting the clip as a new same format file. One or two were too badly damaged to rescue, but I got most back eventually.

There are 13GB "other" data that I cannot account for that simply did not exist before the update. Where is it coming from and how can I get rid of it?

After the update, 13GB of "other" data mysteriously shows up on my phone when it tries to sync; It's literally more than half the available space on my phone. I've deleted SEVERAL apps (including the apps it tried to sync from my iPad), I've removed most of my music and videos.
I can account for the rest of the data on the phone EXCEPT for the 13GB of "other".
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I have the same 13 GB "other" after updating from IOS 4 to IOS 5.
I posted the follow-up question, which is:
What can I do about this? Can I clear it without doing a restore?
If I do a restore, can I then re-install my apps and music from my iMac?

When I stop a movie, it doesn't go back to the main menu.

I am experiencing a very frustrating situation.
I have burned a DVD with 2 short movies on it.
When I play either of them all the way through, after they're over, it returns automatically to the main menu, which is what I want.
However, when I STOP either of them anywhere during the playing, it does NOT return to the main menu. It just stays on a black screen.
This situation happens on my Mac DVD Player, and also on external DVD players connected to a TV.
Let's say I am watching the 1st movie, I don't like it and I want to watch the 2nd one on the same DVD. I logically press STOP, but it doesn't bring me back to the main menu. If I press "Menu" or "title", it doesn't work either.
Is there something on the "Map function" window that I should do?
If not, is there any other solution?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Ok, don't press STOP, just press "menu" or "title" without pressing stop.
BTW, I tested both a commercial DVD (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and and a iDVD disk in my Panosonic player and on my Mac with the Apple DVD player.
On the Panosonic Player: If I press Stop on either DVD, I go to a blank screen. If I press menu once and wait a sec or two, both DVDs go back to the main menu.
On the Apple DVD player: If I press Stop on either DVD, I go to a blank screen, and pressing "menu" gives me the "not permitted" warning for both DVDs.....
So It seems like fro me, iDVD works just like the commercial DVD on both the Mac and the DVD player.....

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help!

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help! Please!

This is not the problem. We are using quicktime on the pc's and the mac. I also tried to open the file on the pc with other programs and it doesn't recognize the file. The file opens fine on my mac but I cannot save it as a new file. It says that "the end of the file was reached." The recording was made in iShowU then edited in Quicktime Pro.

How to import .mov files that wont play in QT (but play with vlc player)

I have a batch of .mov files of which QT only plays the audio (video is blank) - same thing when I try to open in Final Cut Express HD. I am able to open these with VLC player. How do I convert these files so that I can edit them in FCE? I am suspecting maybe these are HD files and the problem is related to that.

.. interesting to learn a drawback of FCE to FCP, one not mentioned to me by the Apple sales associate ..
perhaps, it was 'too self-evident' for the sales-person, that FCE is meant for camcorder-imports with a few consumer formats only, DV (as from miniDV), HDV, AVCHD (=last two get converted automatically to AIC) - done.
.. in my main area, iMovie, we permanently read, how people are surprised, that those editors are made _by concept_ as camcorder-editors, not 'file-editors' .. Apple/mov='editable by Apple/FCE' is a fallacy ..

Is apple aware that Lion will not play HDV 720p25 Files in QT, poor show., Is apple aware that Lion will not play HDV 720p25 Files in QT, poor show.

I recently made the change to Lion from Snow Leopard, I use FCP and work natively with HDV 720p25 .mov files from a Focus DR-HD100 hard drive. I am getting a message saying that the files may be damaged, I want to know when this will be sorted, as I am completely unable to edit and its costing me big time.
My hands are tied, when will apple sort this, a very poor showing from Apple, not impressed. This has knocked my confidence in Apple.

i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released. I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD. All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh? I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process! They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now just sound

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now when accessed the sound plays but no video. Is there a different file type I should create or is this a glitch w/this version? Played before & still plays-Mac b4UG-PC/Iphone/Ipad.

Are you using Safari or Firefox? It runs as expected in Firefox, but in Safari I too get just the sound, and going to the m4v link causes the movie to download rather than play (it downloads fine and plays in Quicktime once downloaded). I checked some of my own m4v movies, and they were playing fine in Safari. For one embedded in a complex web page, see here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo.html
The next m4v has its very own very simple page, with the movie called using an embed tag with various options set (you can see the details by going to View->View Source) and also plays:

There was a problem with a Safari plug-in misbehaving very early in Snow Leopard, but I no longer remember the details. But see this archived discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2158092?start=0&tstart=0
It was a rather complex problem, but I had thought one of the updates fixed it.

I have an ipad 2 and just rented a movie. When I try to load the movie to the ipad it indicates that it was not copied to the ipad because it cannot be played on the ipad. How do I fix this?
