No Audio at main menu page

Hi,
I authored a DVD. All sub menus have audio-background "Revolution-Extras".
The main menu page shows as Audio "Revolution-Main" but no sound is played, when playing the DVD and the main menu page is coming up.
How can I add the audio to the main menu page?
Thx
Joerg

Beverly:
What version of iDVD are you using? The iLife 09 version is the same as iLife 11 since iDVD hadn't been updated since iLIfe 08.
All you need to do is apply the three updaters available here: Apple - Support - iDVD 7 No need to upgrade to iLife 11 unless you need the newer iPhoto or iMovie.
The audio well pane is brought up by typing Command+i after clicking once in the menu:

Starting on Main Menu Page

I have finished creating a project and burned it to a dvd. Once I put the dvd in the player, it automatically began playing the dvd. How do I re-burn the project so that it first goes to the main menu page?
Thanks

just use one of the "older", less elaborated, less blinkyblink templates...
e.g. "Photo Album" (<<hopefully, this is the english title, my user interface is German...)
you drag'n drop any movie into the window => that generates a "button"; you can change the title of that button (default is the file's name...), and position by dragging it .. ; double-clicking on it makes a slider visible => choose the preview frame for that button... or, you do NOT set any preview-frame, then the frist seconds of this movie are visible ...-
spend some hours reading here:

Unlinking main menu pages?

I am working on one of my first sites using Adobe Muse. I apologize in advance if I do no communicate my problem well, as I am still learning the terminology.
When creating the home page, I used a menu widget to create the main menu. I like the way it looks and how it functions for the most part. The problem is that when I initially began work on the design, each of the Main Menu pages was going to have content of its own in addition to a submenu, but now most of the Main Menu pages wont have actual content, but act more as a catagory for the submenus, if that makes sense.
For example, here is a link to the site as it exists today:
http://lemarsdentalcenter.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
For the first tab, "Our Clinic", the sub menu's pages all have content, but if you click on "Our Clinic" it is a blank page.
Is there a way I can unlink the "Our Clinic" tab to the "our clinic" page so that it can act more as a catagory header?
Thank you for your help!

Looping audio on the menu page

I have edited a piece of audio for use on the menu page of an iDVD project. It is cropped, so that when it loops, there is a natural transition from the end of the clip to the beginning, as it starts over. I imported this clip into my iDVD project, and it loops fine, but it apparently is too short for the menu screen because after it loops through, it plays for a few more seconds and then starts over. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but how can I adjust the timing of the menu screen to match the timing of my audio clip?

How did you edit the music file - trying to take a 15 second piece of a song & loop it for the menu screen... not sure what software to use.
Thanks!

No Audio on Main Menu - Please post if you are having this issue....

Howdy...
I am having trouble getting any audio on the main menu. I can drag and drop audio files (non-DRM) to all my menus, and it shows up in the inspector, but when I preview or burn a disc, the main menu has no audio. All of the sub-menus have the audio just fine, but not the main.
I'm currently using the 'Stretch' theme...
Again, all sub menus work just fine, but the same audio will not play on the main menu.
Does anyone have a solution?
If you are also having this problem, please post here...
Thanks...
Best,
Ben

I've stumbled onto the reason for this problem. It's because you unintentionally muted your audio for this menu. To resolve it do the following:
1. Open the menu where you are having audio problems
2. Click on the drop zone icon to open the drop zones
3. Move the music (the iTunes music notes) that you've placed here out of the menu box
4. By getting the music icon out of the way, you will reveal a tiny black sound/audio icon
5. If you strain your eyes and look real close you will see that there are no sound waves coming out of the sound icon
6. Click on the icon and tiny black sound waves will appear
7. You have now "unmuted" your menu
8. Drop your music selection back into the menu drop zone
9. You now have sound!

Can't get audio in main menu only

Hello, I'm new to iDVD and when I try to add audio to my main menu, it won't playback. The songs I have chosen for the two submenus play fine but no matter how many times I delete and re-add the file to the main menu, it just won't play. I'm importing the tune from iTunes. It's not the song because any song I try to add to the main menu won't play. Argh!

OK, I have a question - when you all are talking about using this for work and for projects... are these for internal presentations and such? Because if you are selling them, say as video or photo projects, that does seem like violations of music copyright and exactly what Apple is trying to stop with this crazy authorization business.
I don't mean to sound judgmental, but it has just seemed strange as I am reading these threads, of all the people with work projects due and such.
In my case however (and again, not to sound all high and mighty), I am using iLife just as Apple intended... for home movies of my kid and I burn exact 3 copies of it, one for us and 2 for the grandparents... and this iTunes restriction is ridiculous in those terms. If they were to place burning restrictions, they should have done it similarly to the CD burning, where you could only make a limited number of copies and such.
I am so so so so so so so disappointed.
And going back to iLife 06.

No audio on main menu

for some reason the audio i put in for the main menu only works when you go into the chapter selection menu... help please!

Have you tried making a disc image from the file menu w/in iDvd. Make this disc image to the desktop and then use apple's dvd player app to test playback. Does the very same thing happen, or does the iDvd play exactly as expected (including all menus and audio)?

Continuing backing audio from main menu to sub menus?

Hi.
I've never created a DVD before, but have got the general hang of iDVD. The only thing I seem to be having trouble with is having continuous music through all my menus. I have dragged and dropped a song to the top level which plays in the background ok, but as soon as I navigate to a sub menu it stops playing. Is there a way to just have the same song on loop no matter which menu I am in?
I'm using iLife 11 if that makes any difference.

If you are asking if you can have one audio playing continuously from one menu to the next.....this has been asked many times, and I still don't understand why it is an issue. When a viewer inserts your DVD disk to select to play your movie, an audio track plays and loops because no one knows how long the viewer will keep the menu on before making a selection...on any of the menus. You can add the same song/audio file to each menu and submenu so the same track plays, but you cannot make the audio consecutive from menu to menu.

No audio to menu page

The first page created in iDVD is the main menu page. I have dropped audio taken from iTunes via the media tab, into the 'drop zone' as required yet hear nothing. As I progress to the movie or slideshow, the audio I placed there plays.
My iDVD version is 7.0.4
Any advise
Thanks,
Barry

Hi
Audio in iDVD, iMovie and FinalCut seems to be problematic especially if it is
.mp3, .avi, .wma or from iTunes
My medicine is
• convert to .aiff 16-bit 48KHz
In iTunes easiest way is to collect needed audio into a new Play-list
then burn this as an Audio-CD and as .aiff (NOT .mp3)
Then use these new .aiff files in Your Movie or DVD project.
The way I do it - it works.
Yours Bengt W

Changing the volume of main menu audio

I was also wondering if there is a way to change the volume of the audio I placed in the background of my main menu page in PE4. Once I originally created the menu (from a template), I can no longer access/modify the song I placed in it. Thanks again.

1. Wen you say I shoudl locate my Menu Audio file, do you mean by serching the folders? I cannot find its location within my PE file when it's open. In the same way, I do not know how to actually change the file to another one from within the program. Perhaps I can only view it by searching for it on My Computer.
When you added the link to the Menu for Audio, how did you locate the file then? That would be the same place to look now.
Personally, I would Open that file into Audacity, or other Audio editor, make the changes there, and then Save_As, maybe sticking "menu" in its name, so you'll know that it is a different file. Back in PE, I would un-Link the Audio from the Menu, and then just re-Link to the one with the attenuated Volume. Also, you will want the Duration of this Audio file to be no more than 30 sec. (I think that is the Duration for both Menu Audio and Motion Video in PE).
How can I make the menu audio fade in and out. I assume I can't do that in PE (as I can with all other background music in my project that I see in the timeline). Do you suggest Audacity for this as well even before I import it into the project's menu?
This can be easily done in Audacity. It might even have a Preset for doing a Fade-in/Fade-out. I usually use Adobe Audition, or actually PrPro (PE's big-brother), as I often do DD 5.1 SS for the Menus, as well as Videos. In PrPro, I just create a new Sequence, something that PE does not have, edit the Audio only, as needed, and then Export as a DD 5.1 SS AC3 w/ the SurCode DD plug-in encoder. Though Adobe Encore, the authoring program that I use, has no limit on the Duration of Menu Audio (or Motion Menu Video), I still keep it to only about 30-40 secs, as I assume that the user will make a selection by that time. Also, with the repetitious nature of the music that I choose, and their Fade-in/Fade-out, if the Menu is up longer, it is not noticable that it has repeated.
I use music from a company, SmartSound, and a plug-in that works with PE and PrPro, to "create" custom music from their pieces. I've marked about 12 pieces that have the characteristics that I want, and will use one of the SmartSound variations on these. I also use a bunch of their music for my Soundtracks. Though it's not a plug-in, their SonicFire Pro 5 is amazing with what it can do with their Strata Multi-layer Series of Music.
It seems that their free plug-in comes with PE7, as well as a few pieces from their library. If you do not have PE7, the plug-in is free and works with about any flavor of PE, or PrPro. The music is not free, but over the years I've built up a significant library, whenever they have a sale.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio changes for Menu themes

The menu themes in Premiere Elements 12 do not allow a change to the volume on the preset music scores in the Main Menu page; or allow for a change-out to another music choice on the presets for the "Scene Selection" page – how do I do those two things?
The menu theme I selected for my video is SCREAMING loud and prompts the viewer to quickly turn down the volume, but then they have to crank it back up to hear the video. I converted a VHS tape to a DVD video and then I added photos at the end for a wedding project. This sound thing is driving me nuts every time I preview it and does the same thing on the DVD when I burn it.
All of the tutorials I've checked, and the manual, show how to alter the pictures, but absolutely nothing about the audio needing to be corrected. :-(

Make sure that the name of the music file in the (A) Art-in-Motion Folder is exactly the same before and after all this.
Note: Adobe has set the file name so that this music file applies to both the main menu and the scene menu.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to your results.

To display main menu in Safari on iPad Air, I have to double-click on the button.

Put up my new Muse website and it works well in all the browsers I tested on my PC. However, when I tap on a main menu button while in Safari on my iPad Air, all that happens is that the sub-menus display. I have to tap the main menu button again if I want the main menu page to display. This is not true of a website I built in Joomla. There, a single tap takes me to the page. Is this a bug? If so, is there a fix?

1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Make iDVD Selection Menu into Main Menu

Please excuse me if this is a simple-minded question, but I have not found a solution yet.
I have a .mov file that I want to burn to DVD. It has 4 chapters - okay, okay, so they're cartoons; who doesn't want some favorite cartoons around? Anyway, the start of each cartoon in the .mov file is marked with a Chapter Marker (created via FCE.) When the .mov file is imported into iDVD 5.0.1, iDVD IMMEDIATELY creates a Main Menu page containing "Play / Submenu" and the Submenu screen containing the 4 cartoons. (And yes, they're Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote, so there!)
What I want to do is ELIMINATE the current "Main" Menu page, and instead have the "Submenu" containing the links to the 4 cartoons BE the actual "Main Menu." Thus when the DVD is inserted into a player, the "Main Menu" shows the names of the 4 cartoons.
In the "structure" representation, I have tried dragging the Submenu icon over the Main menu icon; deleting the "Main Menu" icon"; dragging the first cartoon icon over the Main Menu. Nothing works.
I also have iDVD 7.0.4 on the MacMini, if there is a solution there. Any suggestions?

A million thanks for your solution.
And for others who have lots of VHS tapes that are slowly turning into Packing Material, here is a strategy:
Easy-VHS-To-DVD -> Basic Toast (included with EV2D) -> Disc Image -> MPEGStreamclip(Open_DVD:TSVideo) -> Quicktime file (will avoid rendering in FCE) -> iMovie or FCE -> iDVD.
I know, I know, it sounds like a LOT of work, but it is actually extremely easy. The slowest part is the EV2D capture (which is done in real time.) Everything else consists of: 1.Select parameters. 2.Go do something else for 20-30-40 minutes. You will end up with a (semi-permanent) DVD of a VHS that is decomposing day-by-day.
And as noted above: Please do not break copyright by making copies of VHS tapes that you do not own. But if you BOUGHT 'Em, you OWN 'Em.

Select button won't select...stuck on main menu

I can scroll the main menu so it's not frozen but when i want to select music, photos, or settings it won't do anything. (I cannot see my playlist to select any songs). I can still download songs and turn it on and off I just can't get to my songs to play them. It is stuck on the main menu page.

I have the same problem with mine 4gb second generation nano.. all I can do is skip through the songs on shuffle and I can't leave the menu screen; center/select button doesn't work at all. I can't reset it or anything. Did you figure this out, or anyone have any advice on a solution?
