Music DVD - Play All / Track selection

I've built a DVD project with buttons which link to stories for each individual track, which returns to the menu and the next track's button.
For the 'Play All' button, do I just use a normal button pointing to Chapter 1 - or do need to create a story sequence? If I point the button to chapter 1, will only this chapter play, or will the entire feature (13 music clips in one track) play right through to the end?

Marc:
You can do it of both ways: plating the track chapter 1 or building a Story with all chapters included.

How do I play all tracks on an album sequentially on iPod nano 6th generation ?

I have an ipod nano 6th generation. I want to play all tracks on an album sequentially (as if I was playing a CD) without having to select each one in turn. On my ipod nano it repeats the same song and wont move to the next one automatically. can anyone help ?

The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen. While playing a track, swipe to the right to bring up additional controls including the scrubber bar, as well as the repeat and shuffle otpions. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

Play All track (with Story functions) not working

I'm using a single track as my Play All function for a dvd of several short films and using Story functions to have the individual films play from their own menus.
But the Play All track won't play all the way through though it does if I press >| (next chapter) button on my remote control. Each film plays fine from its own menu as an individual track though.

Play All Story would include all markers, a story to just play a section would include the marker for just the one section. You can put the markers in any order you like and can duplicate the markers. If you drop all the markers in the next button will work until the last marker in the story, then there will be no other marker left (but you can put a "fake" marker in the track to jump to for the last real marker)

TS1630 I can't get my music to play all of sudden. It happened after I paired the audio with my Maxima. I turned off bluetooth and it still would not play

I can't get my music to play all of sudden. It happened after I paired the audio with my Maxima. I turned off bluetooth and it still would not play

I tried the hard start and still the same! If I go under artist
I can get it to start playing one song. Then if I try shuffle
Nothing !! Then I can't get it to play anymore.
Very annoying

DVD Menu play all & chapter selections

I have a client requesting something that he has done with Adobe's DVD authoring system that I don't believe Studio Pro can do, but thought I would put it out there and maybe someone else has figured it out:
He wants 2 menus (MAIN & SUB MENU) - Main would contain +play all+ or +chapter selection+ buttons. +Play all+ button would start from the beginning and play all the way to the end without stopping. +Chapter Selections+ would take you to a SUB MENU where you could select only certain sections...and here is where it's challenging... _but after that specific selection (or chapter) is finished, that it return to the Sub Menu, rather than continuing on playing the rest of the movie._
I have done such projects successfully; running time was short enough that it would allow me to make 2 Tracks. one with no chapter markers that would play all the way to the end, and the other with chapter markers indicating to jump back to a sub menu. Obviously this doubles the amount of data and it is not an option for this 95 minute program.
Am I missing something fundamental? I hope so. Any insight as always is appreciated and I hope that made sense! Thanks again.

Hi Brittney
I just saw this post and wanted to ask you a question about stories before I set up my project.
I'm a little nervous as my project is 95 mins, has 5 Chapters, and three of these Chapters have Sub Chapters and Sub, Sub Chapters (if that makes sense?). Because the project is so long I need to set up up properly.
I need to be able to either Play All (from start to finish) or go to each Chapter/sub chapter/sub-sub Chapter and come back to the relevant chapter menu each time.
Is stories the way to go with this? I haven't done such a complex project and have always been able to use 2 tracks (a play all and then chapters) .
How do I set this up properly? If I put in all the chapter markers in the FCP timeline and export them out into Compressor and then into DVD SP, is this the best way to go?
How do I then link all my sub chapters, using Story, to come back to the relevant menu, like an end jump?
I hope this makes sense? Cheers and thanks,
Margie
PS I have DVDSP Version 4.2.1

ITunes can't play all tracks on a cd

I have a brand new Dell XPS 730 gaming pc. Previously, I was running Vista 32 bit that it came with. The other day I reinstalled Vista 64 bit and installed itunes for 64 bit vista. When I put in either regular audio cds or burned cds, itunes will only recognize a few tracks and just skip the rest. When trying to import a track it skips over it takes about one second and it sees it as being like hundreds of hours long. I tried multiple cd's that work PERFECTLY FINE in a cd player on my boombox. I also then tried these in Windows Media Player 11 and the same exact issue occurred. WMP gave an error message saying there was something wrong with my drive. I have two DVD-RW drives. I tried this all on both drives and same issue happened. I find it hard to believe that in the span of a day both of my drives had something go wrong with them that they can't read discs properly, especially when I can play any DVD games fine and can burn discs using my Roxio burning program perfectly fine as well.
I don't understand why the same problem would be happening in WMP if it was a problem with itunes. I'm guessing it could be an issue with Vista 64 bit not working properly with the DVD drives, i'm not too sure. I just find it odd that this problem would crop up when my pc was working fine in 32 bit with iTunes. Anyone else having this problem, and anyone actually found a solution to it yet?
Below is the diagnostic I ran with a regular audio cd in each drive that work fine on my boombox cd player. It's definitely not recognizing them properly as you can see in the track times of like 20 hours plus when they're only 4 to 6 minutes long.

I have a similar issue, pleae let me know if you've figured this out.
On mine, it will play approx 1 minute of an audio CD, then quit. Will not play subsequent tracks at all, and skips them as you describe when trying to import. Same result in iTunes and Windows Media player. But I was able to play a DVD movie and also to burn a copy of a CD. Very odd.

DVD "Play All" Button Only Works for Two Clips

I have Castle Season 1 on my computer and thought it would be nice to create a DVD of all of them. I have a "Play All" button and an "Episodes" Button. Both seem to be registered as a button (Havn't linked the "Episodes" button yet)... I'm hoping to get the "Play All" button to do just that, play all of the episodes in a row, and to do that I have them linked by end action in a row with the last one going to the 'Last Menu'. It works for the first two episodes and then when I click the next chapter button (In the built in DVD 'emulator') after the second episode it goes back to the menu. To see if there was a difference in settings I switch between the first and second episodes to detect any setting changes, and there were none (Except the end action was set to different episodes). I am at a loss on what is wrong.
If screenshots or settings need to be posted just let me know, and I would be happy to post them.
Thanks Ahead

Glad that Playlist worked for you.
1.) The buttons don't animate when selected. On a DVD player, there would be no way to tell the difference on what I had selected, is there any way to remedy that?
In the Menu Editing Panel>Properties>Motion area, you can check Animate Buttons. This will show the Thumbnails as animations.
For telling the user which Button has been navigated to, one uses Sub-picture Highlights, which are only 2-bit color. Are you using a Library Menu? If so, which one? If it's a Library Menu, the Buttons should have the Sub-picture Highlights Layer in each Buttons Layer Set. If you created the Menu from scratch, did you add a Sub-picture Highlight?
2.) I want to add a video clip that will blend into the main menu, how would I go about doing that?
I do this often. First, I will go into Photoshop, and make a Flattened copy of my Menu, with the Sub-picture Highlight that the user will see (see above), visible. This will then be used in PrPro, as a Freeze Frame. In PrPro, I create the Video file that I want, and at the end, just add that Flattened PSD "Freeze Frame" from the actual Menu. This next part takes just a touch of math, but hang in there with me. We want a seamless transition from that Video to the Menu, so will use a Cross-Dissolve Transition between the Video on the Timeline and the Freeze Frame. We need to set the Duration of that Freeze Frame to just slightly longer than one-half of the Duration of that Cross-Dissolve. All we want is for the full Freeze Frame to be on-screen for a couple of Frames, as the Buttons will be dissolving in, and we do not want the user to begin pressing them yet, as they are NOT real Buttons, but just a graphic of the Buttons. I leave ~ 3 Frames, past the Transition. Remember, when you create that Freeze Frame in Photoshop, you want to make sure that the default Button's Sub-picture Highlight is exactly as the user will see it, when the real Menu comes up.
Export this Video (w/ that Freeze Frame at the end) from PrPro, as say a DV-AVI, and Import it into En as a Timeline. Set that Timeline to First Play, and its End Action to go to your real Menu.
3.) My C:// Drive is very small (60GB) as its just a boot drive SSD.
-3a.) Can I delete the cache without harming my saved encore file? (I only have 1GB left, and my system keeps acting up because of it)
-3b.) Is there a way to set the media cache to a different drive (I have three, and since using After Effects/Encore/Premiere the free space is shrinking at an alarming rate )?
This is a bit tricky. Do you ONLY have the one physical SSD? If so, you will seriously want to look into adding more. You can clear the Media Cache files (do not Delete the folders though), however, En will recreate them, when you begin working on the Project. HDD's are cheap, and for Video editing and authoring HDD real estate is very important. If you have more than the one SSD drive, please give us the full details of your HDD's, and how you are using them.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,

DVD Play All / Play Seperate

Hi,
I am trying to get a DVD so that each track can be individually played but also if the user wants to "Play All" 15 tracks without any breaks they can. Does this mean I need to set up a completely different track which has all the tracks combined? and If "Play All" is pressed it will play this track?
Thanks,
Tom

As Eric said - use a single track and separate it with stories...

N-series Music Player plays album tracks in alphab...

This bug is still in the N85 firmware (V 30.019). So the firmware has now been updated twice, with the error still in it.
However, I have found a workaround, that is easy to use and does not require too much work. It's a bit on the geeky side, I'm afraid, but not that difficult.
The Problem
I have found that N85 (and presumably many other N-series devices as well) cannot correctly read and play music albums, but instead plays the tracks in alphabetical order. The same occurs no matter how you transfer the audio to the device. Even thought the Music Player cannot read the tags in the MP3 files, but it does handle M3U playlists correctly.
Background
[A short explanation for those of you who don't know what M3U playlists are. They were originally developed to be used with the computer music player WinAmp, but have since become a rather common little tool. Playlist is basically a text file, with a name like michael_jackson_thriller.m3u, that lists the contents of a music album (or indeed any other collection of music that you like) and describes the sequence of music files to be played. It sort of tells the music player application what you want to hear and in what order.
When you double click an M3U playlist in your computer, your music player software will open and play the music files in that playlist, automatically. In other words, a playlist does not contain any music, but instructions about where to find them in your computer's or device's memory. You can use playlists in your Nokia N-series phone's music player as well.]
The Solution
Always include an M3U file with each album that you transfer to your phone. Then, instead of the album open the corresponding playlist and hey presto! it plays correctly. As an added bonus, you get noticeably shorter gaps between tracks, which is especially nice when you play mixed music (like DJ sets or classical music). Please note that you can't use PLS files (another common playlist format).
What you want to do is get a helper application to your computer that can easily (or even automatically) create playlists, and then transfer them to your device's Music folder in mass media mode. The simply update your Music Library in your phone and go to Playlists in the Music Player.
I have found the following (Windows) applications particularly useful.
Oddgravity Playlist Creator
A compact tool that creates playlists automatically. I usually select one folder (one album), let the app create the playlist in the same folder, and than just drag (copy) the folder to my phone's mass memory. The whole thing takes something like 60 seconds.
iTunes Export
A tool that turns your iTunes playlists into M3U playlists. Can be fully automated.
Medieval CUE Splitter
If you use CUE files to split whole albums, this app can create M3U files while you split the album file.
PS Otherwise I think that Carthage should be destroyed, and that Nokia really should fix that bug!
tommi_p

NO .
E series have the basic features of NOKIA'S music player while hi-end Nseries phones have extra software wise better performance and some of them have better audio chip.
Why is this?
Just to distinguish it is an ESeries phone and that is a Nseries?

DVD Play all button

I've been making a DVD with iDVD, and found that a play all button wasn't an option. I want the option of chapters, but still want to be able to play all. What DVD software has an easy option of play all?
Thanks for any advice.
-christi

Hi
Play all resp one chapter at a time
Play All Button
1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
2. It can be faked in several ways
• Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
• It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
Mike Evangelist1
You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
3. Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
Yours Bengt W

Check all my music to play all music.

How do I check all my music in iTunes to play all my music? I don't want to check them one at a time or do I have to? I seems like you can (should) be able to check all with one click, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help me????
Thanks a million!

Thank you!!!!!!!!! You have been very helpful!!!!!!! Have a nice evening.

How do I play all tracks by "female vocalists" in my itunes library?

In ITunes, is there a smart playlist option or other way I can ask Itunes to "play all songs by female vocalists" ..?

There is nothing in iTunes that can recognize the the gender of the vocalist. If you want to add that information to a convenient field, such as Genre, you would then be able to write a smart playlist that would collect them. However, it would be less trouble to just put them all into a regular (not a smart) playlist, and start it playing.

Sometimes when burning a cd with iTunes it doesn't burn all tracks selected.

When I burn an audio cd sometime all tracks aren't burned to the cd. It might burn the 1st 4 tracks and then for the rest it makes a sound like theres a plug not all the way plugged in wasting my cd. What is causing this problem. If I burn an mp3 cd everything usually works out fine.

This same thing happened to me about two months. ago. I bought a new harddrive for my previously-fried netbook, and when I installed iTunes it gave me the missing registry business. So I came online and looked for solutions. This solution led to a different 'can't burn' error in iTunes, and I found a solution to that one, and it was like I was running in circles for a solid two weeks. Finally I managed to fix the problem, but after trying it hundreds of times I couldn't tell you which solution won out. Well, everything was fine and dandy, until I upgraded iTunes last night. Now its back to the same registry settings problem, and I want to maim something. Someone please help me ;___;
I'm running Windows 7 by the way, on an Acer aspire netbook

Help with playing all tracks.........


I have an audio book on my zen. I want to play my music at random and not have the audio book popping up. Is there a way to do this without creating a new playlist with all the music on it's

Thanks

Tomeka

well, either you have the 20gig "zen" or you have another product from the "zen" line. i'm going to guess that you have a zen micro anways. you would have to add all you tracks (or you can go by artist) and add them to the "to go playlist" once you get all your tracks added to the "to go playlist" go to the "now playing" screen and bring up the pop-up menu and click "save playlist as", or its worded like that, sorry but my zen micro is suffering from a firmware problem . once you have you playlist named you can bring up the pop-up mennu and select "play mode" and there should be a random play option in there. thats the only way i can think of to single out you audiobooks, best of luckMessage Edited by bufu3284 on 08-5-2005 07:58 AM

Multi-Slideshow DVD - Play All Slideshows on Menu

Burned a DVD with 6 slideshows (6 menu buttons). When selecting any menu button, only that specific slideshow plays and then returns to the menu. How can I configure so that all slideshows automatically play in succession when a menu button is selected? Example: If Button 1 is selected, slideshows 1 - 6 will play and then return to the menu after slideshow 6. All suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated.

it's iDvd's big brother and part of Final Cut Studio 2 (it's a bit more expensive than iDvd or Toast as well as having a longer learning curve). Essentially it's Apple's top end DVD authoring software.
I have an older standalone version (DVDSP3) which works well on a G4 733 Digital Audio Power Mac. And in the past, that's the way apple sold the Pro Apps (individually).
Today things are a bit different.
Apple has since chosen to bundle the pro apps into a suite of apps called Final Cut Studio 2. It contains apple's Final Cut Pro 6, Compressor, DVDSP 4, Motion 3, Color, etc. (not sure if apple still includes a QT Pro Key or not. If not then it's about $30 extra and can be activated via QT Pro Registration process).
