Picture refuses to burn in main menue screen

I have tried repeatedly to burn a project with "pixel aspect ratio" settings of D1/DV Ntsc Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121). Everything burns well except the jpg picture from my files that I have inserted in the main menue is missing. The picture appears ok in the layout screen, but is totally black in the finshed DVD. I have been successful in inserting a video file from within the project, but the jpg picture, which also is in the project, will not burn in the main menue picture insert area. Can anyone help me know why this is happening and how to fix it.

This is a Bug in PrE 9.
This THREAD (plus several others) goes into more detail on the issue.
Unfortunately, the new PrE 9.0.1 update did not fix this.
Sorry for the bad news,
Hunt

Why does my iDVD project skip the main menu screen when starting?

I just finished a movie in iMovie 09, chose iDVD from the iMovie menu, chose a theme, etc., all was fine, burned the DVD and it works great except it starts the movie instantly rather than showing the opening screen with the main menu.

When you export to iDVD from iMovie 09, iMovie usually creates an iDVD project in which your movie plays automatically before the main menu is shown. As SDUser has said, you can get rid of that behaviour by going into the DVD map and dragging out the very first item.
A hint: if you have chapter markers in your movie, and you are using a theme that has motion menus, open up the Inspector (the little i button bottom left in iDVD) and while you are in the Map view click on each menu. Take a look at the length of the menu loop. There is a bug in iDVD that often causes it to make ridiculously long menu loops (in one case 3 hours, even though the menu music clip was 30 seconds and the whole movie was under an hour). That will cause iDVD to take forever rendering your project, and will waste a lot of DVD space that you are need for your main movie. Just drag the slider back to a sensible menu loop length. But go back and check before you burn; as soon as you edit anything else in the menu (for example change the music background) the loop length will have to be fixed again.

Angry birds rio quit working on my ipad. When I try to start the game, it shuts down completely and goes to the main menu screen. This started when I downloaded the latest app. The other angry bird games still work. I really need help.

Angry birds rio quit working when I installed the latest app. I even uninstalled it and started over. When I try to start the game, it goes back to the main menu. I need help badly but in simplest of terms so I'll be able to follow.

Have you tried closing the app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Angry Birds 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Angry Birds app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do I end my slideshow on either a picture or a blank screen with text rather than returning to the main menu screen?

Help!

You can't. If you create a blank, black menu window with black text and have the DVD set to autoplay when inserted into a player is will fall back to that black, "empty" menu. But the slideshow has to return to a menu.

Apple logo appears but won't proceed to main menu screen

My video ipod recently went unresponsive. I have completed the 5R's numerous times. I am still able to put my ipod in disk mode and it is appears in itunes when I do so. However when it appears in itunes a message pops up saying that the ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored to original settings. I have restored the ipod to its original settings several times. However when it is finished restoring, I have to change the ipod from disk mode by pressing the select and menu button at the same time. When I do this after a restore the apple logo will appear and then a small bar at the bottom of the ipod screen will show up as if it were downloading something. Once the "download" on the ipod is complete my ipod will restart the apple logo will show and then nothing. I have tried formatting my ipod through windows. Only the quick formatting works. PLEASE HELP!!!!! What am I doing wrong? Would it have anything to do with my firewall settings or a virus on my computer? Or is the hard drive shot on my ipod?

HT1366 My MacBook OS X version 10.6.8 is not going to sleep, keeps loading, then when turned on a blank screen appears, I shut it and the main menu comes up and then it takes awhile for the cursor to operate. Thanks

My MacBook wouldn't go to sleep, it keeps loading, so I have to turn it off. When I turn it on a blank screen comes on, I shut the lid and open it and the main menu screen comes up but the cursor won't work for awhile. Then, eventually, the cursor will work and everything is fine. Hmmm?

Editing menu screens in Premiere Elements 12

I have been using Premiere Elements 12 to put together a movie to burn onto a Blu-ray, but the image that I want to use as the background on the main menu screen keeps getting stretched horizontally. The weird thing is that it looks fine when I'm just looking at the little preview window in the video editor, but when I click the "Preview Disc" button to see how it will look on a TV, then the image gets stretched. Also, it doesn't actually reach the top and bottom of the screen the way I want it to, because the menu screen has letterbox bars that I can't get rid of. I am using the "Secret Agent" template, if that makes any difference. Is there any way to edit the template and maybe remove the letterbox bars so that it won't stretch my background image, or even just change the aspect ratio of the menu screen so that the bars will be less pronounced?

As far as I know Photoshop CC does not have an Adobe watermark associated with tryout as does Premiere Elements.
And, Photoshop CC is now marketed on a subscription basis.
Right now the only way I can get a full background replacement is to go into the main menu psd and replace its background
layer in the Layer Set with a 1920 x 1080 image.
I have found that will present full in the Movie Menu customization area but if I replace it with another image in Movie Customization those black "trims" are back.
This is what the Secret Agent (HD) looks like with its background layer replaced in the .psd using Photoshop CS5.1 and then the edited theme
opened in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
Just do not replace the Menu Background Video or Still that you see in the screenshot and you are OK.
I did a Snipping Tool copy of the background you posted to use for the demo.
We can talk about this some more in the morning.

Help ASAP black background on Menu Screen

hello, this is urgent i need to finish theis dvd by tonight so u quickreplies would help me greatly.
i've just a burnt a dvd and it works all fine apart from everything on the main menu screen is black apart from the highlight of the buttons, although the buttons or drop zones arnt there either. All of the other menus work fine, its just the main one. for the background i have used a jpg and i have used 2 drop zones with video in them, and videos in 5 of the buttons. it all works find when i use the smulator to see what its like, but once i burnt it and put it in my DVD player it will play and everything, but the main menu is all black apart from the button highlights.
any idea?! i simply need to finish this tonight!! plleease!

I mention this workflow because this exact thing has happened to me in the past: a black menu background where only the overlay worked. A rebuild (deleting the old build) worked. As for new location or old, it really doesn't matter, so long as you do a fresh build.
And you don't need to necessarily burn a DVD-R. Open your OS X DVD player and point it to the Build folder (on your hard drive) and if you see your menu correctly, you should be good to go.

Help needed - want to skip to the menu screen, using any button!

hey there -
i'm creating a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4 - when the DVD is inserted, the viewer is treated to a bunch of trailers and previews - it's set up with the "First Play" option. i have to do it this way, for the client.
obviously, i'd like the viewer to be able to skip that stuff and go straight to the main menu. after all, that would be a pain to go through, again and again, if one wanted to watch the DVD mulitple times.
i want to create the DVD in such a way where the viewer can hit ANY button to skip the initial previews and end up on the Main Menu screen. they should be able to hit the "chapter forward" button, the "menu" button, or any other button. in other words, this should be a very user friendly DVD, for those that want to skip over this stuff.
is this possible? how do i do it? do i need to make a script? it's bugging the heck out of me, and the deadline is coming up way too fast...
thanks!

mac dual 2.7 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) dual-layer burner

i want the user to be able to hit the "next chapter" button, or, ideally, any button; to get to the main menu. again, this is during the 2-minute trailer ad that occurs before the menu.
Place a Chapter Marker at the end of the track and set that to have an action to jump to the menu. (Place it at the very end of the track, and also have the tracks end jump jump to the menu, actually to prevent certain players ffrom blowing through chapter markers, place two chapters at the end, the action for the next to last one jumps to the menu, and also DISABLE all actions at the Marker, then the same for the next one.) You can also make it a story witth Marker 1 & 2 and then set the jump to the menu.
The inspector on the track provides all the main buttons on a remote, but some (like subtitle or fast forward) may not do anything or just behavee like they normally behave with no way of overriding them.
If you set the ones you can in the inspector for the track and then also use the chapters described above, you hit most of the main buttons you can.
Since pictures are worth 1000 words, download this little project to see what I am talking about

Also look at this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=459698&tstart=0
Where there is some discussion of some things that cannot be done, particularly relating to subtitle buttons (if Hal and Jake say certain things can't happen in DVD SP, you can be pretty much assured that it can't happen)

No Main Menu

I have a video iPod. When I connect it to iTunes, you usually get the main menu screen- correct? By main menu, I mean the screen where it gives you options like synching you iPod to the library, and there are tabs at the top like videos, photos, etc. When I try going to the main menu, it won't let me. It just automatically go to the songs on the iPod. When I try clicking the black iPod button to the side of my iPod's name under devices, nothing happens.
Help?

Thanks for the tip but I am having a difficult time following this. I succeeded one time (but can't remember how I did it) in getting a short movie of my own to play, with sound, in the background, with icons or titles for the movies I am burning to show up on top of this movie of mine playing in the background.
I just tried following the Autostart mini-tutorial but got lost where it says "drag movie as well on to this movie - not in drop zone." It seems no matter where I try to drop it it becomes a added movie. When I went on to page 2 of the tutorial I really got lost.
iDVD Help says: "Note: If you drag your own movie to a motion menu background, the outro is automatically removed. To customize the background and keep the outro, use a still image in the menu background instead of a movie." But where is the "motion menu background?"
Help? Thanks.

My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple tv first generation. How do I restore my main menu?

My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple TV first generation, how do I restore my main menu screen?

When I turn on, it asks for language choice, then it asks for 1080i, then it asks for network choices. I choose my network, then it asks for my network password. I enter the password, then it say it does not connect to network, and if I hit menu on remote, it goes back to network selection. I can not get to main menu to see my setting for the network, because there is no menu.

If i factory reset my iPhone will it relock to O2?
I've had my iPhone 3G for a couple of years and when out of contract i asked O2 to unlock it, which they did. I've used a Three sim card and it works okay. I've now decided to sell it but before I send it to the buyer i want to factory reset the phone. Will it remain available to use on any network once i've reset it, because i've advertised it as an unlocked phone?
If it was officially unlocked by O2 it will remain unlocked if reset or updated.
Also, just as a side note if you can help. Its running iOS 3.1.3. Once factory reset and connected to iTunes will it force an iOS 4 update or can you choose not to update the OS?
If you restore it in iTunes it will be updated to the current release, 4.3.1. There are ways around this; Google is your friend.

IDVD burned disk does not start at main menu

The IDVD burned disk starts randomly in the middle of the disk. Cannot access the main menu. I started with an IMovie with chapter headings, videos and pictures. Then shared it with IDVD, created themes, music, changed the headers, etc. Burned the disk using the File Burn DVD command. The disk takes over 1 1/2 hours (IMovie orginal is 15 minutes) to burn.

Hello to all of you first-timers here!
Welcome to the discussions.
First, are you using iMovie 9?
Did you set chapter markers in iMovie? Did you follow the Chaper Marker Rules?
RULES: No marker at the beginning of your movie, no markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or end of the movie, and no markers on or within 2 seconds of your movie.
Next, did you put your movie in iDVD and then go make any changes to it? Sometimes that causes the chapters to default to the same spot in the movie. The only solution is to recreate the iDVD project.
You should first try deleting iDVD's preference file. You can find this by closing iDVD, going to your Home file (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new one when you relaunch it.
Reopen iDVD.
Try creating the disk image file again or burning a disk again.
If that results in the same problem, create a new iDVD project. Then, drag in the iMovie project from the Media/Movies pane in iDVD instead of sharing it from iDVD.
Post back if that does not resolve the issue.

Picture disappears while editing from main screen view in iPhoto.

Does anybody have any idea why this happens? Certain pictures will disappear from the main view and I can't edit them at all since I can't see it. I can see them in the thumbnail and once I exit the edit screen I see it again. If I revert it shows again too.
This doesn't happen with all pictures only a few and I don't know why. Any help would be appreciated.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
