Need DVD with movie and interative quiz...how?

I'm getting frustrated. I already have iMovie, iDVD, Final Cut Express. I already made educational dvds and it worked beautifually. However, now I want to create a interactive quiz at the end of the movie and can play in stand alone DVD player with the movie. I want to create several mulitple choice questions with the movie and if they pick the correct one, it will go to the next question, if picked the wrong question, it will go back and replay to help them review and study. Is there a way can do it with my current program or do I need another program that is currently available somewhere? I tried to google "interactive quiz in DVD" and not seem to get a clear cut answer. thank you for anyone who is able to assist me.

You might be able to do a real simple version of this in iDVD, but everytime you attempted to loop back to a previously seen video, you would need a new instance of that video on the DVD. Clearly not optimal and limits what you can do.
Apple used to make a product called DVD Studio Pro. It came bundled with Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro Version 7). It would do this. Apple no longer sells this product but you might be able to find some copies of Final Cut Studio on Amazon or eBay. To see DVD Studio Pro in action, see this podcast of MacBreak Studio with the guy from BoxWrench. http://www.pixelcorps.tv/macbreak18
Adobe Encore CS5 is a currently supported professional DVD authoring software. I have no personal experience with it so I do not know if it will do what you need.

I need to record a webinar; can that be done with imovie and if so, how?

I need to record a webinar; can that be done with imovie and if so, how?

If you want to record a Webinar, you will probably need screen capture software. Every recent Mac comes with QuickTime Player X, which will do this. Just click FIle/New Screen Recording. Then click on the red button to start recording.

Making a DVD with HD and SD assets

How can I make a SD DVD with HD and SD assets and retain the highest quality on the HD material? I have tried mixing the short vidoes on an SD timeline in Final Cut Pro, then rendering out the HD and export using Best Quality 90 min DVD settings in Compressor. I then import that file into a DVDSP project, and then chapter out that track and make stories to create separate play buttons for each video and a Play All button as well. The quality of the HD material seems worse than that of the SD material. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Robin.

Do you know how to best compress HD for optimal play on standard DVD players?
If I am just dealing with HD material, I will send out the timeline as a self-contained .mov in ProRes (I like self-contained, saves some time on re-encoding) then use Compressor to make a SD m2v. You can start with the preset but then go in and change the frame controls to “Better” and also change the encoding rate if there is room to increase the rate.
Calculating rates [information here|http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php]
Can get very good results from HD material delivered as SD format.
When mixing things, it becomes more challenging. Depending on the material (is most of the material HD or SD in original format, can they be edited separately or do they need to go from one to the other to make the movie, etc.) I may try various approaches. If the majority of the footage is HD, I may just go with an HD timeline (though the SD material will not look as good.)
When you say the quality of the HD material is worse, what is worse? Given all things being equal, camera quality (in other words you are not using an extremely high end SD camera and a $300 consumer HD cam, one is really good lighting with little movement, while the other is high speed race cars in streelights at night) the HD footage shouldn't look worse than the SD material...

By default, your system will automatically restart with all of the same applications open that were open when you shut it down. When you tell your system to shut down or restart, you will get a dialog box like below. You need to uncheck the box. Note that your election here will not be permanent... you will need to select it each time you shutdown (or just close all of your applications before you shutdown).

I need to flip, move and duplicate a group in InDesign CS4 JS

Hi,
I need fo flip, move and duplicate grouped objects in InDesign. So far I have those lines from OMV:
var myGroup2 = myGroup.duplicate ([".0625 in", myPageHeight/2]);
myGroup.flip (Flip.HORIZONTAL, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR);
or
myGroup.flipItem (Flip.HORIZONTAL, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR);
myGroup.move ([".0625 in", myPageHeight/2]);
Those lines work for single object, and what I see in OMV, it should be the same for a group(?), but they don't work.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Yulia.

I got it. The lines are correct, mistake was before the lines - in the group definition. Here what I got and it's working:
var myArray = new Array;
//Add the items to the array.
myArray.push(myWhiteLine);
myArray.push(myGreenLine);
//Group the items.
var myPage = app.activeDocument.pages [0];
myLineGroup = myPage.groups.add(myArray);
var myLineGroup2 = myLineGroup.duplicate ();
myLineGroup2.flipItem(Flip.VERTICAL, AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR);
Thank you.
Yulia

I just updated to the new operating system which i'm starting to think was a bad idea, because it reset all my settings and I don't know how to fix them.

so when I go to safari>preferences>security>uncheck box labled enable java script links on webpages don't work and pictures and links son't want to appear on websites. this made it so webpages don't want to work past loading the content in text format. I have to check enable java script to go the webpages to work right so images and links work again but when I try to apply for this job the error message pops up saying I need to enable cookies and java script.
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS IF JAVA SCRIPT IS ALREADY ENABLED HOW TO I ENABLE COOKIES?

How can I Burn a Simple DVD with Chapters and Menus out of My Home Videos.

I created an iMovie (unsig iMovie 10.0.2) of my daughter's volleyball season. I inserted markers separating each game day, hoping these would create chapters in my DVD. Then I did some research about DVD burning apps and finally downloaded BURN. With Burn I created a DVD, but this DVD did not have chapters and also did not have a customizable menu. The whole movie ended up as one 2 hour long chapter.
I have hundresd of family vacation on a hard drive stored and would like to start making iMovies of them to put on DVD for easy watching and forbackup storing.
What is a simple way I can burn my iMovie with chapters onto a DVD?
My macbook pro did not come with iDVD so I dont have it.
Thanks.

MY source is HD i beleive. I shot videos with an iPad Mini.
I ventured into this because I offered this DVD to several team parents, so they are waiting for me to give them the DVD. While I was making it, I added subtitles, showing the game dates, game scores and stats of each player, so it came out really nice. However, not to concern about quality, i have burt the video in a dual layer dvd in SD. I dont have a blue ray burner nor media.
This made me want to do the same with my family vacations vieeos, whic now are a bunch of files in a hard drive, sort them by vacation and add titles like lications to actualy be abel to watch them on a dvd someday.
I have apple tv in the family room, but do not use to watch these videos, will look into that. However, I would still want to make the DVD's.
It seems odd how this, basic feature, has been dropped. I guess apple does not want us to use any more discs.
Still hoping I can do this, if not, I will have to gie away the DVDs with the 2 hour long video in a single chapter.

How do you rip anime dvds with deinterlacing and the same aspect ratio?

Hi I use clips from anime dvds for a hobby of mine. I have a problem. I can't find the right program or the right instruction to convert my m2v or vob files into crsip clean video clips with deinterlacing and low file space. Is Missing Media Burner the right program? What is the step by step process? If you need anymore detail I will be more than happy to say it. I ripped the clips from MAC the Ripper.

Daniel,
Your first post - and - I wonder how many more to follow?
Unlesss you have permissions from the copyright© owner of the material you are using for your "hobby" - you are on very dodgy ground.
If you are a student - working on projects on campus - using the facilities of the University - on found footage - under the auspices of academia - that's different. However, hobby - oh dear oh dear.
As Shane has quite rightly put - "Hmmmmm...."

DVD project with movie and additional files on same disk?

Hi-
Dell 9200 (aka XPS 410), WinXP Pro SP2, Encore 2.0.
I have a DVD project that I am assembling and need to include different types of files on the same DVD. I have an educational movie that is already formatted on a stand-alone DVD (just like one you would rent from Blockbuster). It needs to go onto a DVD along with some additional supporting files in .pdf and .txt file formats. The DVD has to be able to autostart and play on both a home TV/DVD setup as well as a computer. Users also need to be able to access the additional .pdf and .txt files if it is viewed on a computer. Can these two viewing arrangements co-exist on one DVD? Seems to me that it would all work fine if I converted the stand-alone DVD movie into a something like a Quicktime or Windows Media file, created a XHTML file that can be used as an autostart menu, and then link the movie, .pdf and .txt files from there. All of this can then be burned onto one DVD that can be viewed on a computer, but I assume it would NOT be able to be viewed on a TV/DVD home setup. On the other hand, If I created a DVD using Encore I could just make an autostart screen with menu, but I don't think the menu would suppport something like linking to the .pdf and .txt documents (not that they could be viewed on a home TV/DVD setup anyway.
So, am I looking at having to make two separate DVDs--one with the movie and one with the additional .pdf and .txt materials? Would this have to go onto a dual-sided DVD? One side with the movie and one side with the additional materials? Would it be best to just convert the movie and stick all the files on one DVD? (Even though my boss hates this idea because it will reduce the quality of the current DVD movie).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

eDVD is one option. It uses the Interactual Player to link to your extra content directly from the DVD material. Your other option is just to create your own separate content for use on computers. DVD players only pay attention to the VIDEO_TS folder, which must be in the root directory. If you also have an autorun.inf in the root directory, Windows-based systems will follow the instructions there rather than treating the disc as a DVD-Video disc. So you could use an autorun.inf to launch whatever you want to play on the computer (Director projector, other executable, etc.). You can add that extra stuff to the DVD either by using the "ROM Content" feature in Encore or by building to a folder and then burning your disc with other burning software (be sure to use the UDF filesystem or it won't work in DVD players).
Notes:
1. Mac computers will still launch whatever application is set to handle DVD-Video discs in the System Preferences (usually the Apple DVD player).
2. If computer users need to view the DVD-Video content, you will need to give them some help in doing that. (i.e. instructions to manually launch their software DVD player, linking directly to the DVD-Video content from your Director project, providing a separate copy of the video, etc.)
3. eDVD's effectiveness is diminished by the fact that it requires installation of the Interactual player. If the user is unwilling/unable to install software on their computer, such as many corporate/educational users, they will be unable to take advantage of the eDVD features.

HT1645 Hello, does anyone know of good DVD burning software for Mac? I've got two 8 min 25 sec mov files to put on a DVD with title and a menu for the two. I've tried it with iDVD five times, each time waiting over an hour and then getting an error mess

I have a short film I produced and I need to burn off copies however I am having no end of trouble with finding a simple DVD burning programme.
I tried a few but no luck. I am trying with mov files and I can't see where the cog is happening. If anyone has any good and relatively inexpensive solutions, please let me know!
Thanks so much!
Cheers

Welcome to the forums.
If you'd like to continue trying with iDVD, one of Apple's resources shows HT 1645 to be an encoding error (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645), so I would suggest starting a new iDVD project and set the iDVD Preferences to make sure they match to your project. In particular, you should be using the Pro encoding setting or Best Performance for projects with a total length under an hour (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5417).
Roxio Toast is an excellent burning tool and part of my work flow after I've used iDVD to create a disk image. Toast will not have the nice iDVD menus, but can do many other tasks besides DVD creation. (Disk images can help in the DVD creation process -- here's one of many discussions: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15469221#15469221)

No support for pse4, need help with help and everything else.What's a layer? How can I get help PDF from CD? I don't have a clue how to use this. I have a Macbook pro.

Need help with help pse4 not supported by adobe. how to do topics not available and I have never used any thing like this. Help says there is a download but have not been able to get it. What's a rookie to do ? Is there somewhere I can go to find out how to use PSE4?

The internet is overflowing with tutorials on PSE. Just google what you want and include Photoshop Elements 4 as part of your search term, or go to the library and they may have several different books on PSE 4. For PSE 4, you won't find a mac specific book, but that doesn't matter because the editor is the same on either program. Just substitute Command for Ctrl and Option for Alt in the keystrokes, and ignore anything about the organizer.
Some popular sites for learning elements:
http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/
lynda.com
eclecticacademy.com
youtube has a lot of video tutorials, too.

Any "3rd" party program for making DVD's with movies and stills....???

I think I have read every post on this or other sites about maximizing burned DVD quality after using imovie. At the end of the day I can only say this. I used proshowgold on my PC and the DVD's that were burned had MUCH better quality pictures and video. The DVD when shown on a TV was much more vivid. I did not have to lace/deinterlace/h.264/mv2/upscale/drag.. etc.etc.... you get the point. I love the mac but I want to make a movie with stills and music, hit "burn" or move to iDVD and have a decent DVD to give to friends.
I looked at FCE but that didn't seem to be the answer for movies and stills.. ?? Anything else out there...???
Any help other than "your doing it wrong" is appreciated....

As Shawn said they keep on changing things around
In an older version it looked like this [link to image|http://dvdstepbystep.com/toast.jpg]
Click on New disc on the bottom, name the disc and drag the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS File in
You can also [use this|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html] to make a .img from iDVD and DVD SP then burn to disc....
