No title scrolling on menus w/ Pass-Through theme

I did not see this addressed when I searched the discussions.
I created a iDVD project using the Pass-Through theme. Everything looks good. But when saved to disk image, the cut-out titles that scroll across the menu screens are missing, so of course the burned disk is missing it.
This is actually what makes the theme so nice, so not having it is a real problem.
I can't find anything to do differently when creating this project since it looks fine before the burn/save as disc image process.
I would appreciate any suggestions/solutions.

Managed to fix it by shutting down the computer, then restarting again. Made a text correction in the movie title and did a 'Save As' and then made a new disk image. Perfect this time! Not sure what the issue was, but this resolved it.

IDVD 08 Pass Through theme menu errors

in iDVD 08 my menus for pass through are taking pictures from other menus and placing those in the pass through text when it should be just showing the background of the menu it's in. for example, where there is no text on my special features menu is the normal background. but when the text starts scrolling along the bottom, it isn't just see through to the picture behind it; it shows the background the main menu.
anyone having this problem or know how to fix it??
thanks

Did you resolve your issue, because I have exactly the same problem?
In iDVD 08 my menus for pass through are taking picture from the first menu I play and placing it in the pass through text when it should be just showing the background of the menu it's in.
Is this a bug ?

Pass Through Theme Still Not "Passing Through"

So I'm working on this project and it looks completely AWESOME on my computer with the "pass through" theme, but when I burn it to DVD I just get a blurry picture behind a "white" scrolling title. I know this has been addressed before and I've checked out all the "fixes" so far on this issue from past topics but I'm still pulling my hair out.
I've tried "deleting my preferences" and "repairing my permissions" but still end up with the same thing... a white scrolling text over a blurry picture. My Mac is only 2 months old!
Perhaps the solution is to just fly my family out to watch the dvd on my computer???
Help! Anyone? Bueller?

Nevermind!
I went back to an awesome answer by Rich839 who suggested the following:
+Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.+
I failed to restart my computer after deleting and repairing, but after I did the above seemed to work! *crosses fingers* At least the "Pass Through" feature seems to be working in the little preview window while it's burning. Before, the scrolling text in the preview window was just white!
Hope this somehow helps others who've had the same issue!

Pass Through Theme

Hi Folks, hope someone can help me. I have come back to an old (November) project I did for a client of some of his property schemes. Between each I had a Lower Third pass through with the name. I am now trying to add two more schemes and when I preview the same effect it looks fine, but when I apply it gives me a widescreen effect ie big black bars top and bottom. Project was set up in widescreen and I can't think I am doing anything different from last time.
I opened the project on a different Mac to test but the same thing, all on Pass Through effect, some of the other I tried worked OK using the same pics. Any ideas would be of great help!
Thanks

Ok answered my own question. Took the project home last night and an it on my old faithful G4 imac running Tiger. No issues at all! seems maybe that Theme is buggy in 10.5.1.

'Pass Through' Chapter Select Menu Text

Hi there,
I'm putting together a DVD using the Pass Through theme, but seem to hit a snag with the chapter menus - namely that I can't stop the background text from saying "PASS THROUGH CHAPTERS". Whilst looking very nice, it's not actually what I want.
I've prodded around in every menu I can find, to no avail. Anybody know how to change this?
Thanks!

In order to understand the fix, it's useful to understand how the Passthrough theme works (also known as the "Passage Thema" in the Deutsch/German customisation of iDVD). There are three levels in the screens hierarchy for this theme. These are top level, mid level and chapter level.
The background text is in Impact font and inherits its text contents from the foreground text which can normally be edited and modified, re-formatted and (unfortunately) deleted. Other foreground text can be placed on the page also.
If the user deletes the foreground text the background text becomes uneditable. The lowest level pages appear to have no editable foreground text box.
The approach to editing depends on whether
One way to fix this on the chapter/scene selection screens is to download a Hex-Editor for MacOS X such as "HexEdit".
Using HexEdit, open up a backup of the .dvdproj file you are working on. In the Open dialog, navigate to the file and then you will see further internal resources in the file to open. Click into Contents > Resources > ProjectData
Now search (Ctrl-F) for the text "pass through chapters" (assuming this is the irritating text you wish to replace on the scene select page), which will display in the right hand half of the window. Left is hexadecimal, right is the ASCII translation. Use Find and Replace rather than typing directly into either section.
Replace it with the text you want the sub-pages to display. Note this is a tricky move because for some reason the file structure counts the number of characters. Your replacement text must contain exactly the same number of characters as the text you are replacing. (You can pad with spaces at the end if you desire).
Note you'll probably see the word Impact somewhere around here. Adventurous users might find a way to edit the font of the background text mask. I did not, and it might be that the font name has to match exactly your system resources and be the same length as the word "Impact" that it replaces.
Save the dvdproj file once you have finished and have a look.
Limitations of iDVD: Every sub-page has the same background text.
Workaround for the mid-level pages: Add the buttons for the movies to the top level page. Then drop movie assets onto the buttons. Note the buttons inherit the movie names. Edit these. Go into each mid-level sub-page and edit the title there also.
If you want the mid level sub-page background text to be different from the foreground text, then you will need to reduce the editable foreground text until it is insignificant and change its color also. Add a new Text object from the menu and type in the foreground text. This is easier than messing about with HexEdit.
For some reason, I lost the foreground title text for the top level home menu, and also had to employ the HexEdit technique at this level.
Good luck.

Problem with "Pass Through Chapters" Theme

I was searching old post to get some help and this one help a little but there was still one problem unanswered. I have highlighted in red;
Nov 14, 2008 3:41 PM Re: Pass Through Theme problem
Re: Pass Through Theme problemin response to Glo H
My smaller text which appears in white says Scenes 1-6. The pass through text which is larger and has a different image in it says "Pass Through Chapters" and it rolls by while the smaller text stays put. I notice the image that shows through the pass through text is the same image I set on the main DVD screen. On that one my name of my disc roll past in giant see through letters. I like that but I just don't want that same effect on my chapters screens.
Can the image behind the rolling text be changed to the current window and not the main menu image?

Thanks for the tip and figured out to delete my "Scenes 1-6" that was automatically created when, in iMovie, I shared the movie to iDVD with chapters. The menu title text block doesn't like cut/paste and I had to retype the "Scenes 1-6" text for the motion/peek-through scrolling text to refresh.
Hmmm, but how tricky is that and where is it mentioned in the help/faq files etc?
cheers

PASS THROUGH MAIN grrr!

I have just exported my imovie project onto idvd and decided to use the quite funky looking "Pass Through" theme. The problem is that although I can change the title, the words "Pass Through Main" keep scrolling across instead of the correct title. In the example version "Greece" ith scrolls as the title, how can I change this I am going mad!

I just tried it. I double clicked "Pass through Main" on the title screen, it turned "blue", I typed in Canada, and Canada scrolled across the screen. When I clicked the little arrow to reveal the chapter menu in the menu selection sidebar, Canada was already showing.
This was on my G4 laptop which I just updated to Tiger 10.4, QT 7.1.2 and iLife 6.0.2.

No AC3/DTS pass-through option on my X-

As the title says, i miss the pass-through option in the console to pass the signal to an external decoder (the whole decoder section is missing). What's the problem? Please help.Message Edited by Nazgul9 on 06-0-2006 06:00 PM

Hey
I see what you mean, but I've sent AC3 streams through the X-Fi card many times. Any way, I'm not looking for decoding abilities, I want the SPDIF signal decoded in an external Klipsch GMX D-5. decoder. I bought the "X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro". In entertainment mode the card works fine and I get AC3 from DVD streams read in the external decoder. But in gaming mode using the realtime AC3 software encoder I think theres a problem getting the SPDIF stream through. To be sure of this I headed for the Creative Audio Console and decoder tab, only that the whole section is removed from the console. Please tell me why this option is removed, it's such a frustration when you go ahead an spend alot of money getting a new card, and then basic options are gone.
Thanks for any help given.

"Pass Through Chapters" text

I'm working with a movie I shot in August 2009 and it imported nicely and I even added a slide show. I'm using the "Pass Through" Theme.
When I click on the main menu, where I list the options for the movie or the slideshow, whichever one I click on, the submenu has this really annoying scrolling text that says "Pass Through Chapters."
How do I either get rid of that or alter the text to something more contextually appropriate?

Rich, Hi and thanks.
I did that on the main menu and the pass-through text there changed, but the sub-menu pass through text remains the same. When I try double clicking on that, the drop zone editor pops up but the text doesn't highlight

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps. This problem started ever since I upgraded to version 5.

I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

Pass Through Chapters Title

OK, I'm begging you. I searched for this problem and found it is something that others are having problems with. The answers were unintelligible.
I have a DVD menu with Pass Through. It says Greece 2007 as it scrolls.
The iMovie that I dragged is called that so that is probably how it got it's name.
On the menu there is Play Movie and Chapters.
When you click Chapters and go to that Pass Trough sub-menu it scrolls Pass Through.
I cannot get it to say anything else.
I have changed the name Chapters on the 1st menu. That didn't do it.
I have added a text box to the chapters sub-menu, still no luck.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, I'm not an idiot but please try and be specific on your instructions.
Thanks in advance.

Michael,
I just used this theme. When you've imported your video into iDVD and chosen the Pass Through template for you DVD presentation, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen. Choose 'Advanced' and then 'Apply Theme to Project'. That should do it. You can do the same for the Chapters page.
Hope this helps

"Pass through" greyed out when sharing

I'm working with mpeg4 clips in imovie. When I try to "share" I use the "expert" settings and choose the same format to export: mpeg 4, but I take a big quality hit, even with the highest settings.
Since the files are already mpeg4, I then try to select "pass through." But it's almost always greyed out. If I share and select "selected clips only" then "pass through" is often available to select. What would make "pass through" grey out?

just a guess....
iM doesn't handle the mpeg4 as mpegs (that's no editable format/codec), but converts it automatically into Apple Intermediate Codec...
so, I guess, selecting "un-edited" clips makes an export possible, any processed clips (added title, transistion etc) makes another conversion needed and therefore a share impossible...
but that is just a guess ...-
besides: you shouldn't use mpegs for editing... in technical terms possible, but not really recommended.... use a really camcorder, use mini-dv, use dv-codec, that's what iM is meant for......

I don't think supressing through Global Personalization will change the business logic. Within the Business Logic it checks for the mandatory field.

DV pass through to record VHS

Is there anyway to use my DV camera's pass through mode to record direct from a VHS player into my Mac?
I have all the physical cables and equipment and used to be able to do this with ease using iMovie4 (the easiest way being to set my camera up with no tape in when in VCR mode and getting its input from my VHS player)
Now with iMovieHD, it does not allow for import when there is no tape in the camera.
The tedious way around is to record from VHS onto miniDV, then import from miniDV to iMovie. But why can it not be done like it could be with iMovie4? Are there any work-arounds or 'patches' that can be installed to fix this negative development?

Any idea whether this update (dated April 2005) did the trick in resolving the problem or not. Obviously I'll download it and try it out, but you may already know the answer?

Data has changed after passing through FIFO?

Dear experts,
I am currently working on a digital triangular shaping using the 7966R FPGA + 5734 AI. I am using LabView 2012 SP1.
Some days ago I have encountered a problem with my FIFOs that I have not been able to solve since. I'd be glad if somebody could point out a solution/ my error.
Short description:
I am writing U16 variables between ~32700-32800 to a U16 configured FIFO. The FIFO output does not coincide with the data I have been writing to the FIFO but is rather bit-shifted or something is added. This problem does not occure if I execute the VI on the dev. PC with simulated input.
What I have done so far:
I am reading all 4 channels of the 5734 inside a SCTL. The data is stored in 4 feedback nodes I am applying a triangular shaping to channel 0 and 1 by using 4 FIFOs that have been prefilled with a predefined number of zeros to serve as buffers. So it's something like (FB = Feedback node):
A I/O 1 --> FB --> FIFO 1 --> FB --> FIFO 2 --> FB --> Do something
A I/O 2 --> FB --> FIFO 3 --> FB --> FIFO 4 --> FB --> Do something
This code shows NO weird behaviour and works as expected.
The Problem:
To reduce the amount of FIFOs needed I then decided to interleave the data and to use only 2 FIFOs instead of 4. You can see the code in the attachment. As you can see I have not really changed anything to the code structure in general.
The input to the FIFO is a U16. All FIFOs are configured to store U16 data.
The data that I am writing to the FIFO can be seen in channel 0 of the output attachment.
The output after passing through the two FIFOs can be seen in channel 2 of the same picture.
The output after passing through the first FIFO (times 2) can be seen in channel 3 of the picture.
It looks like the output is bit-shifted and truncated as it enters Buffer 1. Yet the difference between the input and output is not exactly a factor of 2. I also considered the possibility that the FIFO adds both write operations (CH0 + CH1) but that also does not account for the value of the output.
The FIFOs are all operating normally, i.e. none throws a timeout. I also tried several different orders of reading/writing to the FIFOs and different ways of ensuring this order (i.e. case strucutres, flat and stacked sequence). The FIFOs are also large enough to store the amount of data buffered no matter if I write or read first.
Thank you very much,
Bjorn

During the last couple of days I tried the following:
1. Running the FPGA code on the development PC with simulated I/O. The behavior was normal, i.e. like I've intended the code to perform.
2. I tested the code on the development PC with the square and sine wave generation VI as 'simulated' I/O. The code performed normal.
3. I replaced the FIFOs with queues and ran my logic on the dev. PC. The logic performed totally normal.
4. Right now the code is compiling with constants as inputs like you suggested...
I am currently trying to get LabView 2013 on the development machine. It seems like my last real hope is that the issue is a bug in the XILINX 13.4 compiler tools and that the 14.4 tools will just make it disappear...
Nevertheless I am still open for suggestions. Some additional info about my FIFOs of concerne:
Buffer 1 and 2:
- Type: Target Scoped
- Elements Requested: 1023
- Implementation: Block Memory
- Control Logic: Target Optimal
- Data Type: U16
- Arbitrate for Read: Never Arbitrate
- No. Elements Per Read: 1
- Arbitrate for Write: Never Arbitrate
- No. Elements Per Write: 1
The inputs from the NI 5734 are U16 so I am wirering the right data type to the FIFOs. I also don't have any coercion dots within my FPGA VI. And so far it has only occured after the VI has been compiled onto the FPGA. Could some of the FIFOs/block memory be corrupted because we have written stuff onto the FPGA too often?
