Need Advice on Creating Multi-Language Menus

Hello Friends,
I am working on a documentary project that will contain three languages: English, Spanish, German, and Portuguese. There are two spoken-language audio tracks (English and Spanish) and four subtitle tracks (one for each of the above languages).
The producer wants four sets of menus as well - something I see as potentially daunting. The disc’s initial menu would ask you to choose a language, and then once that choice is made all subsequent menus would appear in that same language.
That task is easy enough so far, but with four different sets of menus, what happens when the viewer plays the movie, then presses the "menu" button. How does the DVD know which language menu to return to?
I assume that something might possibly be done with scripting, but I'm new to this aspect of DVD authoring, so any design advice you could give would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

It is a scripting issue.
When you select the language on the first menu, make each button go to a script which sets a unique value ionto a GPRM and then sets the audio for the user. When returning to a menu, make the menu button go to a script which reads the value in the GPRM (or uses the audio setting in the player - SPRM1) to go back to the correct set of menus.
In setting the language from the main menu, use a script like this (assuming the buttons are ordered English, Spanish, German, Portuguese):
mov GPRM0, SPRM8
div GPRM0, 1024
Set System Stream Au(1(English)
Jump English menu If (GPRM0 = 1)
Set System Stream Au(1(Spanish)
Jump Spanish menu If (GPRM0 = 2)
Set System Stream Au(1(German)
Jump German Menu If (GPRM0 = 3)
Set System Stream Au(1(Portuguese)
Jump Portuguese menu If (GPRM0 = 4)
This reads the button value the user selected and sets a value accordingly and at the same time sets the correct audio stream. Now, when setting the return to a menu you can use the same value and set up a script like this:
Jump English menu If (GPRM0 = 1)
Jump Spanish menu If (GPRM0 = 2)
Jump German Menu If (GPRM0 = 3)
Jump Portuguese menu If (GPRM0 = 4)
You can extend these scripts to get back to the last button on any particular menu as well. These two scripts will be enough to set the audio and get you back to the right menu. If you are using subs as well then it is going to be a case of adding in the relevant lines to activate the correct subtitle... good luck!

Need advice on creating buttons in email please

I am looking to send an email to a group of friends with an invitation attached that I have created in Pages.
The invite is written in MadGab form so ideally I would like to place a button underneath that says "Uncle" that can have the invitation animate to the standard 'for dummies' version.
If that is asking too much, the button could just email me back asking for translation. (It would be cool if I could have an autoreply to those messages with some sassy note like 'the idiot assistance office is currently closed but we will respond to your request when we feel like it')
Can anyone give me some advice? I am sadly one of those people that knows enough to be danger to herself and others but not enough to know how to do this without hours more browsing for help.
(Sorry if this is the wrong forum, btw...!)

Need advice on creating 2nd account for child

Hi,
I have an iTunes account on my single user Mac that I've been using for years. My son just got an iPod and I want to set up an account for him to be able to download music, movies, apps etc for his use. Is this possible with only a single user account system or do I need to set up a login account for him too? I want to be able to set limits for him too like dollar limits per month, movie rating limits (PG) etc. I see where I can set rating limits for my account but I don't see how those will change when he uses the system.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I would suggest you set him up his own user account in Mac OS X. That will be a lot less fuss, and you can use the Parental Controls in Mac OS X and iTunes in his account to control what he can access without having to limit your own use.
To give him a dollar limit in the iTunes Store, set him up his own iTunes Store account and either buy him prepaid iTunes cards or gift certificates or set him up an allowance. For more information on these options, see:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/tutorials/#store-giftcertificates

I need advice on creating SubVIs

Hi all,
My code is getting bulky and I have created SubVIs to handle certain tasks. Here is what the code does: take in multiple data file paths from the user, and generate
data summary tables, and lots of plots (table and plot formats controlled by property nodes) and place objects (tables and formats) on different tabs of a control tab on the FP.
Here is what I need help with:
1. Is it a good idea to feed file paths to inputs of a SubVI? The code reads 2D numeric data from data files using Read from Spreadsheet File.vi.
2. Should I make the input of my SubVI the actual 2D data input instead of file path?
3. Does it make sense to have graphs, charts, etc. in a SubVI? This is how I have them right now (also feeding references to these plots into the SubVI), but someone suggested that I shouldn't do that.
For my plots, the legend, X-axis label, and Y-axis lable are read automatically from the file name and updated through property nodes, which is why my SubVI takes in file paths.
Does it make sense to generate a cluster of properties and feed that into my SubVI?
Any other thoughts?

Sure, i do that all the time.
2. Should I make the input of my SubVI the actual 2D data input instead of file path?
Why not, make a 2nd sub-vi which uses the data inputs inside the #1 subvi.
3. Does it make sense to have graphs, charts, etc. in a SubVI? This is how I have them right now (also feeding references to these plots into the SubVI), but someone suggested that I shouldn't do that.
This is 2 different issues. Having graphs inside a sub-vi is ok for debugging purposes, if never shown they should have no effect later on. Feeding references is a way to update graphs in another VI (presumably main), but i'd recommend returning the data array to main and simply feed the graph there instead.
For my plots, the legend, X-axis label, and Y-axis lable are read automatically from the file name and updated through property nodes, which is why my SubVI takes in file paths.
Does it make sense to generate a cluster of properties and feed that into my SubVI?
3 string inputs are fine. You'll also need the graph ref. I'd make a state or event in the main of it instead.
Any other thoughts?

Need advice on creating a form

I would appreciate any imput or advice on generating a sign up form for a non profit. We would like to have members be able to fill in their names on the attached and then have that form emailed.
http://http://www.monmouthboatclubracing.org/Race_Committee/2009_Race_Committee_Sign_up.pd f
I have no problem recreating this as a form in Dreamweaver CS3. The problem is that I have no experience creating the php scripts. I have David Power's Essential Guide - I followed the tutorials but I admit what this form entails may be a little too complicated for me. I run a few websites using Dreamweaver, am familiar with html, but I'm not a professional.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a free online form generater that could handle this (I've used simple feedback forms) but haven't seen anything that could create something more entailed like what I want to do. Or is there an easier way for me to do it myself?
Any imput is apprecitaed. Thanks.

I need advice on creating streaming video applications in FMIS

Hello all,
I have gone through Tom Green's helpful tutorials on streaming from the vod folder (FMS Developer) and using his application to stream from the applications folder (FMIS).
What I need to know now, is what to do to create a player for use on my video page. Just when I think I have this figured out a little more, I end up stymied.
For example, I just downloaded and read through the 22-page intro to the RealEyes REOPS player. This isn't the first time I have researched this player, but every time I start reading up on it, it feels as though it's making sense, then the treatment drifts straight into software engineer-speak and I'm left thinking this will be impossible to grasp.
I researched Strobe. Yet another exceedingly-difficult bit of information to understand when you're a beginner. Ultimately leaving me staring at the screen wondering what I just read.
I have a full, licensed copy of FMIS running on my web server and I want to stream video from it. I really don't care if the player is flashy or not...I want the viewer to enjoy the video, that's what is important. I don't need closed captioning, I just want a full-screen capable player. Something basic that will play SH and h.264 clips. If one player can't be made to do both, I'll need one for each.
I'm self-taught PHP and database design, self-taught web designer, I have tackled big projects before and I am undaunted by this one...I JUST need some idea where to go.
For instance, when forst prompted to read Tom Green's tutorials, they made no sense to me. It took helpful posts from all of you on this forum to get me to the 'aha!' moments that allowed me to appreciate Tom's tutorials. I need that 'aha!' with regards to buildign applications. The one Tom uses in his Part 3, Beginner's guide to using ActionScript 3.0 with Flash Media Server 3.5 tutorial is cool, but it's not a player. I know enough to change the RTMP path and video filename to make this thing stream my files from my server, but there's another gap in what I want to do and what I need to know to head in that direction.
Any and all input will be absolutely appreciated.
Sincerely,
wordman

Need help with creating multi out instruments...

What do I do wrong here… I tried to figure this out already since at least 1 year. I am desperate!
Here is what I do while trying to make a multi output instrument in logic studio 9:
1:I create 1 software instrument:
2: I choose a multi output stereo AU Instrument:
3: I load 5 software instruments, each on its own channel, all in the same Logic Instrument:
4: In the mixer, I created 5 Aux channels by clicking on the + sign of the Instrument:
5: In the arrange window, I create 5 new channels from the Track menu with New with Next Midi Channel:
Now when playing the 1st instrument track, still the sound goes directly to the output 1/2, the Aux sliders don't have any control over the volume. What do I do wrong?
Hope to find some help,
André

Hi
Depending on which version of Kontakt you are using, there are some "automated" ways of creating additional outputs, and assigning each sound to a different output:
Pic show Kontakt 4
Once you have done that, and (in Logic) loaded a Multi-Out instance of Kontakt, all you have to do is create the additional Aux channels in the mixer (using the small +) at the bottom of the Instrument Channel Strip).

I Need Advice on Creating a Photo Collage

Need advice on creating ospf abr router

Hi, I'm studying for the CCNA, and am trying to learn and experiment with OSPF in packet tracer. I am having trouble with setting up a ABR to advertise a summary route for area 0 to another router in area 1. Lets say I have:
R1:
router ospf 1
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
network 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
area 0 range 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0 <-- my summary route
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1
default-information originate
R2:
router ospf 1
network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
network 10.1.2.0 0.0.0.255
network 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255
Assuming R1 in area0 is my main network, and I want to advertise my summary route to the area 1 router, what would I have to do?
I hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Well I think I've got it now. I think I was over complicating it, by not realizing that a router could easy advertise routes to multiple areas, eg:
router ospf 1
net 192.168.1.1 area 0
net 192.168.2.1 area 0
net 10.10.10.10 area 1
net 10.10.20.10 area 1
etc, and then using the 'area 0 range 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0
Also, as I understand it: If you put a default route on an ABR with default-information originate, the route is advertised to both AS's. But if the route is on either of these AS's, you can't do this because a routing loop will occur. Is this correct?
thanks again

Multi Language Stoplist

Hello All,
What is stopword?. Why it is used?. I could not get this functionality. Can anyone explain me?.
I understood the following lines from the Oracle Text book. But i don't know how we will implement it in real time.
"You can create multi-language stoplists to hold language-specific stopwords. A multi-language stoplist is useful when you use the MULTI_LEXER to index a table that contains documents in different languages, such as English, German, and Japanese. "
Thank you and waiting for your reply.
with regards,
sivababu

hello
i don't know if you still have problem but i will try to give you an example
suppose you have a table with 3 columns eg :
table t (pk number not null, txt varchar2(2000), lanf_id varchar2(16) )
suppose know that this table contains text in different languages
insert into t values (1,'my name is nikos', 'english');
insert into t values (2,'my name is nikos', 'french');
now when you index the table :
if the language is 'english' you don't want the word 'is' to be indexed
because it IS NOT SEGNIFICANT
but when the language is 'french' you want the word 'is' to be indexed
because IT IS SEGNIFICANT
so you create 2 stoplists, one for english and one for french,
and you add to english stoplist the word 'is'
but you do not do that to french stoplist
this will cause the word 'is' to be recognised when searching only
when the language is french eg:
select pk from t where contains(txt,'is') >0;
result :
'2' -> only one row
p.s. it is not that simple but that's the general idea. there are some other things that you should take in mind e.g. STOPWORD TRANSFORMATION (intermedia reference) etc. if you have more problems let me know. i am using intermedia
on a table with 10 million rows containg all the languages of European Union.
hope the above helps you

How to create a multi-language site?

Hi,
what's the smartest way to create a multi-language site with the naviation menus only in English OR French OR German…? By creating one site and duplicate the .muse file?
Thanks a lot!

No
Depending on how simple your site is you can get away with it easy with common languages based on latin all in CSS and Javascript as the words within the sentences will mostly be in the same places. For other languages such as Japanese to English or right to left languages you would be better building different templates in a subdirectory as links and other things will start to move around.
You also have to design around multi languages as well, as words in other languages might be longer and could break your design.

Creating a multi-language website on Dreamweaver-cs4

Hi,
What would be the best aproach to create a multi-language website ( max 10 html pages , not a portal ) on CS4.
I had Joomla in my mind but I want to learn Dreamweaver way.
Should create different folders for each additinonal language and copy the default files and edit them accordinly? ( Default will be English, Turkish and German might be other options )
Thanks a lot

Watch for site management issues.
Here's a good reference: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/ora_dw_cs4_mm.html
You might have a home page that appears in all languages, linking to each section of your site. Each section might be in a folder named like "IVFDeutsch" for the German version, etc., and the 'home page' for German could be www.yoursitename.com/IVFDeutsch/index.html so you would have an index page in each subsection.
Consider using Templates, and a nav for each section that is presented in the language of the section, to treat your other language speaking visitors as well as possible.
You have many decisions and possibilities..have fun with the site.

Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Professional. I need to know how to create multi-links on 300 page docs

I need to know how to create multi-links on a 300 page document, showing "return to main Menu". Ideally placed on the bottom right of each page. I have adobe acrobat Professional.

Import a picture to be a button, place it, activate HYPERLINK tool, draw a rectangle around the whole button, in the window popping up select the link behaviour, submit with OK.
Then copy & paste the button object to every page. I don't know whether pasting it on every of the 300 pages can be automated, but if not, it is still done quite fastly.

DSP3: Multi Language DVD Menus

Hi All,
here I am to tell about my doubt in the an International DVD authoring, trying to figure out the correct workflow procedures.
So I have 7 languages, 5 menus and 1 video with 7 subtitles stream.
In my case, I'd like to use the internal language menu layout that could be great,
but I think that can be used only with the internal DVD player language configuration.
I'd like to put a language selection menu at start-up, instead, how can I do?
The Apple manual is very light in this section...
Many Thanks an advance and best regards.
Paul
