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

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 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:

Audio only playback from a menu page

Hello experts
I want to have one menu page that plays back 12 separate audio files. My assets are encoded (ac3 audio from compressor) I have 12 buttons on my page, when I go to set the asset to that button the audio file doesn't show up in the list, but it is in my asset list and I can preview it. Does an audio only file have to have some sort of visual associated with it? Or can I have a menu page with 12 track kinda like a visual CD player?
Help please!
Brian

Hi Brian - you need to have video involved somewhere on your disc. Without it you won't be able to build and format.
What you can do is create a still image for each audio track and show that as the track is playing (drop it into the video timeline and stretch it to the end of the audio). You could also just use a piece of black slug if you don't want any visual.
That way you can link your menu buttons to a track and just hear the resulting audio.

Using audio on menu

I would like viewers to hear music when the DVD menus are selected.
I created at new Sequence in FCP. The sequence is audio only. I exported the sequence using QuickTime Conversion. I selected AIFF. I then imported the AIFF file into my Asset folder in DVD SP.
How do I select the AIFF file so that it will play and be heard on the menu pages?

Just drag it from the assets window onto your menu. The manual goes over all this.

Photoshop CC video: Where is the audio flyout menu? I want to set the audio level of a clip but when I click the little triangle the flyout only offers Motion options, no audio.

I created a video clip by ripping from a (non-protected) DVD & brought it into Photoshop CC for editing. I want the audio to fade in & out but cannot find any audio controls!
The info I've found online says to click the little triangle at the right end of the clip & I should get the audio flyout menu, but all I get is a menu with "Motion" options.
Please help!! Where are the audio options I see on the tutorials?
Thanks ...

The audio was indeed in there; I could hear it! But I found the fix:
Some Googling revealed that the timeline video sprites should appear *blue*, not purple as in my screenshot. I'm not sure how that happened, but I scrapped the project & restarted from scratch - and though I can't say what I did differently, this time the video sprite in the timeline was blue, and the audio flyout was there! So it's all good, thanks!

How can I code to play audio continuously from page to page in iBooks for reflow ePub

Hi,
I have tried and successfully completed the iBooks ambient soundtrack option in Fixed Layout ePub. It works fine.
But while trying the same in Reflow ePub, it is not working in iPad iBooks. I have latest iBooks version and latest iOS version in my iPad.
Please let me know how can I code to play audio continuously from page to page in iBooks for reflow ePub?
Thanks,
Sundaram

As soon as the user turns to the next page, the audio stops.
That's how it works in all cases.
the book is a read aloud book.

Broken Menu Page - Won't Show On Screen (But, Works Functionally)

I've created an iDVD '08 project and have created a disk image to check and make sure everything is working properly. Unfortunately, when I play the DVD (disk image) one of the menu pages won't appear on screen when you navigate to it. I can blindly navigate that menu page's options (because I have them memorized), but the menu itself never appears.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Further Details:
I've tried creating multiple disk images and the problem persists. I've also tried to tweak the options on that specific menu to see if that would fix the glitch, all to no avail.
The menu in question appears in this order: MAIN MENU (Choices: 1 Movie, 1 Sub-Menu) --> SUB MENU (Choices: 5 Sub-Menus) --> *BROKEN MENU* (Choices: 3 Sub-Menus, 2 Movies, 1 Slideshow) --> FURTHER SUB MENUS
All of the menus have custom MP3 music playing in the background. Most are longer, but this specific menu page that is broken has music that plays for 01:38 (loop duration of 01:39). (The music plays. Again, you just can't see the menu.) In the one drop zone, there is one picture. (I don't know if this picture is a .jpg or a .pct.)
I'm using the "Brushstroke" theme (a 6.0 Theme) and the broken menu is a "chapters" theme. (All of the other "chapters" sub-menus appear fine.)

I fixed it.
Just in case anyone else has this issue, the problem (I think) was this: I had a "Movie" button on the sub-menu page in question that had only a " " as the title text.
(This was by design. The "movie" was intended to be a hidden "Easter Egg" that viewers could play only if they knew how to navigate to the button.)
I fixed the problem by adding actual text to the button's title text. (I managed to make that title text disappear by changing the opacity, thereby making it invisible.)
Hope that helps someone.

How do i create a menu page

Hi
I have just started using imovie for the first time as used to have a PC with Pinnacle for video editing.
How do i create a front menu page, so that on there, there will be various titles that the user can easily select to then jump to that chapter in the DVD?
Any help appreciated
Thanks

ok, i have looked and have no idea how to do this.
Also i would like to save all my completed projects onto external hard drive as well, do i have to burn them onto DVD to be able to create the titles?
I have the latest imovie, and an external DVD player, but am a little lost here.

Create a DVD with no top menu page

How would I go about making a DVD that would just start in black with no menu page? Either in iDVD or Studio Pro. Can it "auto start" or am I stuck with having to enable a start button? Thanks! Denny

Hello Alex,
if the autoplay item in iDVD is set to loop, the menu will not come up, but without the looping it will show at the end of the movie.
If you don't want to set the movie to loop, there's the possibility to create a "black" theme, in which simply everything (background, drop zones, titles) is black, so your TV will show a black screen after the movie (note that the disk keeps spinning: there IS something that plays)
The only way to completely remove the menu from a DVD (disk image) is to do post production with myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
Toast lets you burn a DVD without menu - simply uncheck the appropriate check-box
hope this helps

Cannot edit text in menu page

I cut and pasted from a pdf to a menu page. I want to work with the font to make it more readable, but I can no longer select the text. What did I do wrong? I can't edit in Encore or Photoshop. I can select the layer, but not the text.
I am trying to reproduce the page by duplicating it and adding the text again, but I cannot figure out how I got it there in the first place (to appear as it did in the pdf) It keeps pasting as an oversized text block in one column.
In other words, How do I edit text that has been pasted onto a menu page? Seems it keeps wanting to create another text layer - in Photoshop as well

In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

Menu page image and text cut off on burned DVD

I burned a DVD using the travel theme. The project looks fine on my Intel iMac, but when I put the disc into my home DVD player, the menu page, which is not in letterbox format like the rest of the project, has the outer edges cut off and the text and images don't fit the television screen. The rest of the disc looks fine. Any suggestions as to why this happened?
Thanks!

Hi DrumRunner:
iDVD: How to Determine TV Safe Area
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50151
iDVD: Creating widescreen DVDs for standard size televisions
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303030
Then there is:
Old Toad's recipe for:
Masking Movies to the TV Safe Area for iDVD
The mask should be 640 x 480 pixels and the movie 514 x 386 (I arrived at this figure by making a snapshot of the TV save area of an iDVD project with Snapz). You can set this size after you’ve joined it with the mask movie with Quicktime Player Pro.
Import the black mask jpg file into iMovie and and export it as a .mov file at the same length as your movie (there may be a way to not have to create a specific length mask for each movie but I haven't found it. If the times do not match the movie file will be synced to the length of the mask movie).
Open the mask movie in QT Player Pro and then open your regular movie and make it the front window of the two. Now you'll need to run a QT Player AppleScript titled "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2". You can get it from this Apple site: Quicktime Player Scripts.
Then run the script. You can then run the merged movie to check it out. Your movie will be located in the upper lefthand corner of the window when played.
When you open the Movie Properties window from the Window menu for the combined file you’ll see the following:
Video Track 1: the black mask
Video Track 2 : your movie file
Tween track: Have no idea what this is.
Sound track: self explanaotry
Black mask.
To set the size of your movie to the correct size select it in the Properties window and click on Visual Settings pane. Then enter 514 in the first field and hit enter. With the Preserve Aspect Ration box checked the other size will automatically be set.
To center the video track in the center of the mask select the Video Track 2 item and plug in a offset of about: 60 & 40. You'll probably have to play with that to fine tune the centering. Doing the math and subtracting the movie dimensions from the mask dimensions and dividing by two just didn't get it perfectly centered. I'm sure I'm missing something here.
Now save as a new self contained movie after checking the High Quality box at the bottom right.
You can not import it into iDVD for preview and burning. One drawback is that you can't invoke the TV save area for a movie in iDVD to check it out. But you can mark it on the monitor screen while viewing a menu or slideshow and then play the movie to see how close you came.
Since I made this workflow I've found that iDVD NTSC likes 720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format so you might want to make the black mask that size and adjust the video accordingly. As I said it takes some fiddling.
Does that help?

File name on the menu page of a DVD project

When I import my video project into iDVD 5.0 the file name ends up on the Menu page. If I try to delete it, it erases the project from the DVD. How do I get rid of the file name on my menu page without deleting the video itself?
Dual G4 1000hnz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Rusty
As I see it. No name = no movie
1. You might replace the name with a space (or ev. alt+space)
2. or You might want a self / auto starting movie then get to the block
diagram view and drop Your movie project into the upper left most box.
