Play all and individually

hi all
i have a disc that has one track with 21 different small videos. i want the option of playing one in particular from a menu with all the options in it, and i want it to jump back to the menu when it finishs. however i also want a play all option, so that if you select play all, you can watch all of these videos in sequential order without jumping back. so far i havent figured out how to get both, just one or the other. i tried a story and it screwed up my ability to use the original tracks chapters for end jumps. help please!

Depending on the amount of media, you could do one of two things:
1.) make one master clip ("play all") with chapters, then making a story for each chapter
2.) compress the "play all" clip as well as individual clips for each segment
Either would work, and I would say that if you're working with less than an hour of media you can use the second option. The benefit of the second option is that you can sometimes do a little more with transitions between segments in the "play all" section if you can make separate clips for the segments to play them individually.
At least that's been my experience.

  • Best way to handle PLAY ALL and individual plays?

    Just out of curiosity, what's the best/usual way to handle the basic PLAY ALL/PLAY-A-CHAPTER set-up? Is it better to have everything in one track and make a story out of each chapter and assign those individual stories to the respective buttons, and then have a PLAY ALL button that has the TRACK as it's target?
    Or is it more conventional to assign the CHAPTER markers to individual buttons (with END JUMPS set to your MENU) and then create a STORY containing all chapters for your PLAY ALL?
    Oh, and if it matters, I'm talking DVDSP3.

    Hi Eric - I never like putting end jumps on chapter markers - there have been too many times when I wanted to 'play all'but the end jumps on the markers prevent it. Using stories neatly sidesteps the issues.
    It's good that you haven't had any problems with it - and long may that continue! My experiences are sadly not the same as yours... hence my advice.

    how to get mac dvd player not to play all and stop at each title

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.

  • Suggestion: Play All and Shuffle for Video

    I'd really like to make a suggestion for Play All, and Shuffle Play All for videos in TV. I really miss that about my EyeHome I could set it to play a TV show continuously while I work on other things, one time I had two seasons of a show play shuffled and continuously for 12 hours while I was working.
    Also more sub menus. So I can have a TV show name, click to then show All the seasons of that show. Click a season to show all the shows in that season. But at the top of each menu to Play All, and Shuffle Play All. Sometimes I like to randomly play all of a certain show.
    Also sub menus for movies. So Lord of the Rings will be listed, clicking it takes me to All three movies. At the top I can start to play them all in Order.

    Might try posting in the appropriate forum -> Forum: Front Row

  • Play All and Play Individually

    Hello
    Is it possible to creat a DVD with multiple movies and to have the menu structure so that you can choose to play each movie individually or to play them all sequentially?
    If not, will DVD Studio Pro 1.5 do it?
    Many thanks,
    Joe.

    Hi, Joe!
    You can kinda do this if you make your iMovie one continuous movie using all your movie clips so that it will play in its entirety.
    Then, use Chapter Markers to identify the different movies. When you create your DVD menu, you will have the 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection' options. The scene selections should correspond to each of your movies, so that they can be selected individually.
    However, with this method, no matter which movie you start to view, all of the movies past that one will play through to the end, because you actually have only one long movie.
    The only other option is to import each of the multiple movies separately and then each will play separately, but you will not have the option to play them as one long movie.
    I don't know if DVDSP will do that either.

  • Play All and Play Individuals

    I have version 1.5
    I'm making a collection of music videos and I want the option to play all or play individual songs then it returns to the menu.
    The only thing I've thought of is making 1 avi file with everything on it, and also putting them all in individually. But that'll take twice as long to burn because each song is technically on there twice.

    Ruud,
    I think that there is a lot of confusion as to what this forum is about. The Premiere CS3 forums are now getting a lot of Encore CS3 traffic, but most folk do point them here.
    I've seen the same "name" as you, and just ignore that... For me, this is the Encore2 forum, but I do get to learn about Encore CS3, even though I will wait until CS4 has been introduced and tested by the early adopters.

  • Can I make a DVD w/multiple slideshows that can play all or individually?

    I have created several slideshows in iPhoto with music,. transition, timing and everything. I want the top menu to give us the option to play them all together, or each separately. Is there a way to do this?
    So far it seems like I can only play each separately. Should I be using iMovie instead?

    I want the top menu to give us the option to play them all together, or each separately. Is there a way to do this?
    This can be accomplished by using iMovie HD6, if you have it. After importing your slideshows, add chapter markers to indicate the beginning of each slideshow. After this is completed, save the project and close iMovie. Open iDVD, and import the saved movie into the project. You will then have the options you wish.
    I don't know if this can be done with iMovie 08 and 09. However, as strange as it seems, GarageBand can be used to insert chapter markers.
    Here is another option. Import your slideshows into iDVD as one slideshow. Check out this great visual from Old Toad to see how this can be done. http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iDVD8movieSS.png
    Create a submenu; this will be used for the "scene selection". Then, import the slideshows again, this time as separate movies.
    I hope this helps.

  • Chapters and Play all - how do I get this to work with a one hour project?

    Hi
    I have a one hour project and at the moment I have it in one track with a Main Menu, Chapter menu and a bridge menu for the loop point.
    I have 5 chapters and want 2 functions to happen in my DVD structure:-
    1. the Play All function
    2. and the Chapters to play each individual chapter and then go back to the Chapter menu when it;s finished.
    As my project is now, the play all feature won't work, it is like it's the CHapter menu.
    In the past I've had a track for the play all and then separate tracks for each chapter. Is there a way around this - do I have to do that fancy encoding (which I have no idea how to set up.
    I have 5 chapters and would love some help to construct this as I don't think the 2 hours would fit on my single layer DVD and it would be a lot more exporting work.
    Hope you can help.
    Cheers
    Margie

    You may want to use scenarios in this situation.
    click the "add a scenario" button, an add as many scenarios as you have chapters.
    Then double click on each scenario option.
    You will see a list of chapter appear on the left of your timeline area.
    Drag the chapter you want to play solo to the empty list on the right ("scenario markers").
    Make sure you then select that chapter marker in the scenario Marker list, and choose "end jump: main menu". Also make sure that your gobal scenario end jump is set to your main menu too.
    Then link you buton to that scenario and repeat for the other chapters.
    hope that helps.

  • Multiple Play all Buttons

    I have a program with 5 videos. There is a main menu with a program seecton and play all buttons. Each video has a sub menu with a play all which is linked to a story to play all chapters for that video, as well as individual chapter buttons
    Tha main menu play all button is linked to a series of scripts to play all 5 programs. basically mov GPRM 0,1 Jump to the first story then each story has a script for the end action: 1. Jump to next track if (GPRM 0=1) 2. Jump to appropriate menu. The play all script works fine however if the user were to hit the menu button during play all and then dive down to the sub menus the GPRM does not get set back to 0. Consequently when the Play all button for program 1 gets activated and it's story gets launched, the end script will see the GPRM as 1 and continue playing instead of returning to the appropriate menu.
    Not sure how to solve this...Anyone?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   2.5 GB RAM

    Just want to make sure I got this straight
    1.) There is a Main Menu
    2.) There are 5 tracks
    3.) Each of the 5 tracks have there own "sub menu" which can access the chapters for the respective track and a play all for just its track
    4.) What is the program section, do you mean you can program the tracks to play back in the order you want?
    As to the play all issue, one easy way to do that is to set up a story in each track called PlayAll_Track1, etc. just to make it easier to follow (these series of stories will call stories for each ENTIRE track) and then set to jump to the next
    For instance Story (call it PlayAllFromMainMenu_Track1 to make it a bit eaiser to follow) would be called from the Main Menu/Play All Button and play from the beginning of Track 1 to the End of Track 1 [when you set up the story]
    The End Jump for PlayAllFromMainMenu_Track1 would be PlayAllFromMainMenu_Track2 , etc. and you can set the menu jumps in the applicable story where you would like it to go when someone presses menu.
    You then also set up other stories the same way, but instead of PlayAllFromMainMenu_Track1
    The Story would be JUST the track being targeted from its related sub menu, and set End Jump and Menu controls for that story to its related sub menu.

  • Chapter Markers for Play All in DVD SP 4

    I have a "Final Sequence" which consists of 6 sequences. I know I have to put the Ch. markers in the Final sequence to show up in DVD SP 4. The problem is that it's easier to put them into the individual sequences.
    So, can I import all the sequences individually into DVDSP4 and make a button that will Play All 6 sequences just as if they were one long sequence?

    this is quite common and easy. make one long sequence in fcp, set your chapter markers and end jump markers in preparation for a dvd with "Play All" and "Chapter Menu" menu selections. it'll require the use of stories in dvd sp but they're rather easy and navigation is quick and clean.

    as this is a query for dvd studio pro, i'd advise you to search for "play all" in the dvd studio pro forum. lotsa answers.

  • My story is working in dvd studio pro but how do I get the track to play with and without the story?

    Hi there,
    I've targetted my first button to play all and I've targetted my second button to play all: story 1. The play all option is still playing the same as the play all:story 1 option.
    Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing here. It should be straightforward but something isn't working.
    Many thanks
    Oonagh

    Not sure if I explained my problem well at the start.
    I have a 1 track dvd and I want two play options. 1 is the play all option, the other is an interactive option where the track will stop at certain points in the dvd. I have created 2 stories for each task. However, I can't alter 1 story without it altering the other story. Therefore for the play all option, when I want to take out the property whereby it stops at certain points in the interactive play option, it takes it out of both stories. If I target the play all button to just the track without any story, it still is linked to the interactive story.
    The way I've made the story markers interactive is by putting the playback option to infinite.
    I thought I had solved the problem by  deleting the interactive story markers  in the play all story  but now when it plays through, it's not seamless where I removed these chapters and seems to jump a bit at these points.
    If anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated

  • DVD Menu play all & chapter selections

    I have a client requesting something that he has done with Adobe's DVD authoring system that I don't believe Studio Pro can do, but thought I would put it out there and maybe someone else has figured it out:
    He wants 2 menus (MAIN & SUB MENU) - Main would contain +play all+ or +chapter selection+ buttons. +Play all+ button would start from the beginning and play all the way to the end without stopping. +Chapter Selections+ would take you to a SUB MENU where you could select only certain sections...and here is where it's challenging... _but after that specific selection (or chapter) is finished, that it return to the Sub Menu, rather than continuing on playing the rest of the movie._
    I have done such projects successfully; running time was short enough that it would allow me to make 2 Tracks. one with no chapter markers that would play all the way to the end, and the other with chapter markers indicating to jump back to a sub menu. Obviously this doubles the amount of data and it is not an option for this 95 minute program.
    Am I missing something fundamental? I hope so. Any insight as always is appreciated and I hope that made sense! Thanks again.

    Hi Brittney
    I just saw this post and wanted to ask you a question about stories before I set up my project.
    I'm a little nervous as my project is 95 mins, has 5 Chapters, and three of these Chapters have Sub Chapters and Sub, Sub Chapters (if that makes sense?). Because the project is so long I need to set up up properly.
    I need to be able to either Play All (from start to finish) or go to each Chapter/sub chapter/sub-sub Chapter and come back to the relevant chapter menu each time.
    Is stories the way to go with this? I haven't done such a complex project and have always been able to use 2 tracks (a play all and then chapters) .
    How do I set this up properly? If I put in all the chapter markers in the FCP timeline and export them out into Compressor and then into DVD SP, is this the best way to go?
    How do I then link all my sub chapters, using Story, to come back to the relevant menu, like an end jump?
    I hope this makes sense? Cheers and thanks,
    Margie

  • Zen MX 'random play all' problems

    !Zen MX 'random play all' problemso Hello, 2 newbies here, Maz (who is typing)?and mum Wendy (whose player is having problems).
    I have a Zen in an older version and I've never had many problems but my mum recently got a 6gb?Zen MX (version .00.09)?and although it was working fine before recently after an update that seemed to go wrong (I wasn't there an mum?is?unclear what exactly went wrong but we have had a major virus problem)?the 'random play all' mode has become messed up somehow. It will only play one track at a time then stops and has to be prompted to continue every time. Apparently it also randomly halfway through tracks will sometimes change the speed of play but I have not heard this so I'm not exactly sure whether this is a separate problem or already resolved.
    So far we have tried using the reset button and that had no effect. Then we tried restoring the default settings and reprogramming the programmeable button to random play all and the issue reoccurs. We have also checked and 'play mode' is on shuffle as I thought it should be.
    Any suggestions?

  • Best method for PLAY ALL

    I've used a couple methods for a PLAY ALL and wonder if anyone has comments on which is preferable. This will be for a glass-mastered SD DVD - an extra feature with an audio disc - and with 5.1 Dolby audio on the DVD.
    On this one we're using multiple tracks and scripting to play each track successively as part of a PLAY ALL, or each track separately from a chapter menu.
    Previously we've used one main track, and then played chapters via stories.

    Depends on the project. But stories will usually play a bit quicker (less pause) since they are all on the same track (if they are on different tracks the playback gets kicked to a different part of the DVD which slows things down), and scripts sometimes are a little less reliable than stories. Found that more on older players, but once in awhile DVD SP scripting can behave strangely. I think most of the "gotchas" can be worked around.
    Some others around here prefer scripts more than stories and do not like setting up tracks to have stories. I am not sure there is a perfect answer because each probably have the pluses and minuses, but I usually go with stories when I can, even though I find scripting alot more fun

  • Creating DVD w/ menu... Wanted no "Play all"!

    Hi,
    I'm working with an project where I have made use of the menus for the DVD, I have the startmenu with choices to "Play all" and "Play scene" and I want to get rrid of the "Play all" choice!
    The Premiere Elements Help file talks about the possibility to make DVD w/ menu that does not have the "Play all" button on the startmenu and also the help talks about getting rid off buttons in the DVD menu - but helps me nothing!
    Does anybody here have a hint about how to get rid of the "Play all" buttonchoice on the startmenu for the DVD?

    I have localized Premiere Elements to Swedish and press F1 for helpfile, then in the popup html helpfile I choose "Skapa skivmenyer" which directtranslates into *"Create discmenus".
    Then I select "Typer av skivor och menyalternativ " = " *"Types of discs and menualternatives"
    Then I look at the bottom of that page and see a section about menubase discs - there it speaks about it "
    Menybaserad skiva med flera filmval
    De här skivorna passar bäst för fristående filmer, som du inte vill kombinera till en enskild film. Om du till exempel skapar en skiva med ett bröllop kanske du vill ha förberedelserna, ceremonin och festen som separata filmer. Var och en av dem får då en egen knapp på huvudmenyn."
