Play all question

I am looking to make a menu in DVD Stuido Pro
I want a person to be able to select from the main menu and play each chapter seperately, and when that specific chapter is done for it to go back to the main menu...
I would also like a feature on the same main menu that says Play All.. that would obviously play them all continiously, without going back each time to the main menu.. can anyone point me in the right direction for that?
I am using DSP4
G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Zen Mozaic random play all question

#This has been driving me crazy. I have 458 songs on my player, but when I select random play all, the song count comes up as 335. Anyone know what is going on or how I can fix this?
On top of this, sometimes if I add like 5 sonds, the counter for all tracks will increase by 5, but the counter during random play all will increase maybe or 2.

Has the firmware on the player been updated? I would do that. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players&s ubCatID=23&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=865&pr odName=ZEN+MX&bTopTwenty=&VARSET=prodfaq"]http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=23&CatName=MP3+Players&s ubCatID=23&subCatName=MIDI+Keyboards&prodID=865&pr odName=ZEN+MX&bTopTwenty=&VARSET=prodfaq[/url]:PRODFAQ_865,VARSET=CategoryID:23

Scripting Play All Button Question

Is there a way when I script a play all button, that at the end of playing each track individually, the button for the follow track is highlighted?
Thanks.

Eric,
There are several ways to optimize Play All through different aspect clips, depending on the project type.
One method is to conform the assets - though, this depends on the ratio of 4:3 to wide footage, and other factors - if you only have a couple of 4:3 assets, then you can make them wide (black on either side), and nestle them in with all the other wide clips in a single Track. You could also put them in another Track by themselves (still make them wide, and set for Pan and Scan - not failing to stripe the mpeg assets with the P&S centering vectors with John Brisbin's "Mpeg Append Force Pan and Scan"; that way the footage displays properly pillar bar'd on 16:9 TVs and full-screen on 4:3 TVs).
If you have more or less equal number of different footage aspects, you can order your 'Play All' sequence to play through all the Wide Footage in one Track first and then jump to the other Track with all the 4:3 footage lined up in there (prepared for wide and set for Pan and Scan, as outlined above, so the clips aren't stretched out when presented on wide displays), and play them all the way through. I do have a procedure I use to make the jump from the first Track to the second super compatible with even marginal players, which prevents the back and forth jump.
There are other ways, as well; again, depending on project parameters (and of course, wether Hal "got to 'em first" and had them script the twenty separate Tracks for Play All! ).
Heck, *you don't even need a single script to set a project up to Play All through 20 Tracks (or any supported number), and then to have those same Tracks be switched to single play mode for targeting from their respective buttons on the menu. Zero scripts.* Play 20 Tracks in the order you define, or singly play any of the same 20 Tracks and return to the menu and proper button. But it's still better to put all the clips in a single Track and go with Stories.
I have a start of an article on this whole question, and hopefully I'll be able to post it soon. My SPRM table I mentioned in another thread was delayed because of the games in NY (I'm based in Philly :- ), that will be up by Monday (feels good saying it!).
Oh, and one correction to my reply above; When I said a Track is an entire 'Video Title Set Menu Domain', while true, all Tracks and Slideshows include such a structure; I should have said a Track is an entire 'Video Title Set'. It was late (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it :- )
Take care,

Play-All scripting question

Hello everyone. I need some advice as soon as possible for a DVD I'm making I hope you can help.
Is it possible to make a play all button that will affect a whole track (using markers) or do I need to break my one track into smaller tracks in order to make a play all script like the one described in the manual?
I'd really appreciate help on this as I'd prefer to keep my track in one piece rather than break it up.
Thanks.

Cd/mp3 player was not playing all tunes burned to disk

Got my Mojo workin'.
That's a TDK "Mojo" CD-MP3 Digital Jukebox.
Sit back and relax while I tell of my Grand Journey of Exploration. (There is a question below too.)
I had made a some iTunes playlists of MP3s, and decided to burn them on CD-R disks for my portable player. I had them all sorted by Artist and Album. The burn process seemed to go well, but when I loaded the first disk into the Mojo, it seemed to scan the entire disk and count all the tunes. It finished counting after it found all 193 titles. However, when I tried to play them, it would only play the first 26 tunes or so. (Another disk I had burned at the same time (different playlist) gave similar unsatisfactory results, something like 19 out of 186 tunes.) I knew the Mojo was not a current model, and thought maybe there was some weird file incompatibility thing going on.
I popped the disk into my son's CD/MP3 player ("Koss" brand), and it managed to find 30 or 40 of them. A bit better, but not perfect.
I tried it in my DVD player, and it was able to play all 193 tunes. In fact, it loaded and started playing quicker than I had ever seen it do before. It usually thrashes and whirs for an annoyingly long time.
The odd thing was that the Koss was able to play all 76 tunes on another disk I had burned over a year ago, on my wife's Mac, with a version of iTunes for Mac System 9.2. Unfortunately, those files were gone from her Mac so I couldn't see what the iTunes setup was. I was thinking maybe the newer version of iTunes had a bug or something.
Then I inspected the old and new disks in the Finder and noticed that the new disk had a bunch of folders with the Artists' names, and each artist folder had folders within them with Album names, and the tunes were inside those folders.
The old disk (which worked fine in the Mojo player) just had the MP3 files and no folders whatsoever. I knew I was onto something, but I couldn't figure out how to burn a folder-less MP3 disk from iTunes, as opposed to doing it manually via the Finder.
I searched Apple.com > Support > Discussions > iTunes for Mac > Importing & Burning in iTunes for Mac yet again, this time using "folders" for the search term, and up popped several threads where people wanted files organized by folders on disks:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1464192
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1791538
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=781976
... which brought me to the document "iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD", at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60931
So, I removed the columns for "Artist" and "Album" names from the playlist, and burned it, et voila! it worked just fine in my Mojo, which plays all 193 tunes. (Too bad I didn't fix the ID3 tags beforehand.)
Now, for points:
I had the playlist sorted by Artist, and here are the first four titles (of 193)
Title ____________ Artist____________
Relative Ways ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Mistakes & Regrets ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Jubilation 20 Minute Loop
Queen of Pain Alkaline Trio
Muffin57 All Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors
... etc.
Then when I remove the "Artist" column so that it only shows the Titles, it resorts like this:
Title ____________
Blacken My Thumb
Buckler
After School Thunder
Futuristic Genitalia
Once In A Lifetime (Cul De Sac)
... etc.
This is not the same as it was, nor is it alphabetical by Title.
If I click on the Title column header of course, it is ordered alphabetically by title, like this:
Title ____________
(Do Not Feed The) Oyster
(Got My) Rock Pants On
3 Away
27
68
Adventures In Conversation
After School Thunder
Algorithm Of Desire
Alive and Amplified
... etc.
Other than dragging all 193 tunes, one at a time, in order manually, how can I keep the original play order by Artist, without creating folders on the burned CD?
There is talk of "Copy to Play Order" in the iTunes Help/Support files...
To use this command, Control-click one of the songs in the playlist,
and choose "Copy to Play Order" from the shortcut menu. Tip: These
steps also apply to a playlist you have reordered directly (by clicking
on one of the column headers like Artist or Album).
... but I don't see that option when I Control-click anything. The bottom menuitem in the popup menu is "Clear". Same results with Right-clicking.
300 MHz "Blue & White" G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7) iTunes 6.0.5

Hmm. I see that the spaces have been chopped out in part of my first post, and it appears that I cannot edit it.
For clarity's sake, these are the Artists' names, in the partial listing for Ordered by Artist example in my previous post:
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
20 Minute Loop
Alkaline Trio

We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

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
PS I have DVDSP Version 4.2.1

PLAY ALL - simple? Or no?

Simple SD dvd, 3 tracks, one = 79 min, 1 = 3 min, 1 = 4 min...client also wants a PLAY ALL button. It's about 4.4 GB now. How do I make a PLAY ALL option without causing problems for the end jump on the tracks? How to make a PLAY ALL button/option?
Thanks
K

You cannot use a story structure when you have three different tracks. Stories are sub-sets of the track they are in, and cannot have chapters from different tracks added to them.
You also don't need to go back to FCP - all you have to do, assuming your footage is all the same format (if you have some 4:3 and some 16:9 then you will need to either use a scripted solution or go back to FCP) is take the footage from each track and add it to a single track, one section after the other. You've already compressed it, so just drop all three MPEG files into the same track.
You can then add a chapter marker at the end of the clips (no need for the end of the last one) and use a story structure to get a play all. There are two ways to do this... but in your case you should add all of the chapter markers for the ends of the clips into a single story, and set the menu call and end jump for the story. Your menu then needs a button that points to the story container (and not the track or any chapter marker). The chapters within the story will play back, and the end jump for the story will take place when they all have played back.
As for your last question - yes, you can do this, but you'll need to script it. it's not particularly hard to do, but if you've not done any scripting then I'd go with the story based method above. If you want to see the scripted solution, go back to here: http://www.dvdstudiopro.co.uk/tutorials/play-all-3/
or here for a longer (but certainly simpler) method: http://www.dvdstudiopro.co.uk/tutorials/play-all-1/

X-FI2 Random Play All Problem

HI All,
I've spotted another prob with X-FI2 whichI think may be linked to it not recognising all albums on the player. Has anyone else noticed that if you go to the DJ option and choose Random Play All, it chooses only 00 tracks (the same tracks every time) and just cycles through them. Its driving me mad, I have 4300 tracks on uploaded but its just cjhoosing those 00 to play. Its also annoying because 99.9% of the time I have my mp3 player on this play mode.
Anyone spotted this too, and can it be fixed without firmware update?
Just thought, also, does anyone know of a proper user guide for the X-FI2. I've downloaded Creative Centrale but can't find any doc with more thorough instructions in than are in the quickstart guide?
Thanks in antcipation of any assistance

Having sorted these problems, I thought I'd reply to my own posting so other Zen newbies can share.
If you update with the .0 firmware, that fixes the problem of the random play all choice only cycling through 00 tracks.
To get user manual for the X-FI2, you need to install the Creative Centrale software. This then creates a folder in your program files called Creative (C:/program files/creative). The user manual is in there.
These are probably dead basic answers to dead basic questions, but if you didn't know the answer, then it might as well be the hardest answer in the world.

Play All Button - (I already searched the historical posts)

Hello group,
Yes, I have searched high and low in this forum and everywhere else for the answer to my question.
I'm using iDVD 08. I have made a DVD with about 30 home video clips. I want to create a "Play All" button so that instead of navigating individually to each clip, they can click the "Play All" button and have each clip play in sequence.

You can import all of your movies into iMovie HD6. Add music, effects, etc, as desired. Add a chapter marker to the beginning of each clip. Once the project is finished in iMovie, close the application and open iDVD. Select your theme and import your iMovie project. You will then see in the main window that you have a choice to "play movie", which will play from start to finish, or "scene selection", which will allow you to choose which part you wish to view.
If you do not have it, iMovie HD6 is available as a free download. Use this link.

I hope this helps.

How to make a play all menu and a play single movies menu

Hi, I'm a noob with Encore and trying to make a dvd menu, but can't seem to get it right.
I have in total 6 movieclips which I would like to make en menu for. I have made a menu, where there are a play all button and a kind of chapter button.
I have linked alle movies as end action to each other, expect the last of cause - paly all menu done - check
Then in the "chaptersmenu" I took the first clip and changed the override setting to the "chaptersmenu", but when I do that the link between clip 2 and 3 becomes dashed instead of solid, and when I preview it stops after the second clip on play all.
What am I doing wrong and how should I do it, to accomplis what I like?

Just to recap, so I understand it correct.
I link each movie specific button to the specific movie, with action of "last menu" and no override. Then for the play all, I create en playlist containing all movies, and the play all button is then linked to that playlist.
I'll try that when I get home. After I made the question yesterday, I came to think, if I could use Premiere to help me out. So I made a sequence, with all movies in, and created some chapter marks, and that I could get to Work in Encore. So now the computer is just sweating to create the dvd structure, so I can test it.
I don't know which is the correct way to do it, or if it just a matter of taste, but it seems that Premiere sequence requires a lot more space on the disk then with separate movies. But I have dual layer disks, so guess that doesn't make any difference.

Songs on my iTouch are not playing all the way through

Hello,
I have an iTouch 5th generation. The songs on it are not playing all the way through or simply do not play for the entire duration of song. The songs that do not play all the way through leaves the rest of the song being 'played' with no sound. Another problem is that the current song will stop playing in the beginning, middle, or the end and another song starts. The next song will begin play while the current song continues to play, but with the current song having an absence of sound. It's kind of hard to describe. All of this started to happen after my iTouch crashed and I had to restore it. There is also another thing that factors into this problem. Most of the songs that are not working are the ones that I have bought from iTunes. I have also discovered that there are some other songs that I have downloaded from CDs that are not working, as well. The songs that I have bought from iTunes and have downloaded from CDs work properly on my other iPod and on my computer. So, I am thinking that the problem lies with the iTouch, itself.
Some of the things that I have tried are taking all of the music off of my itouch and then reloading it again on it. That did not work. Then I figured that I would load a single playlist with a problematic album. This did not work. I then tried taking that playlist off and then reloaded all of my library onto my iTouch. That didn't work either. Another issue is that I don't know if I can redownload the music that I bought off of iTunes to correct the problem. Another issue that goes along with this is that I had bought all of my music on another computer. I don't know if that makes a difference, but, again, I really don't think it is the songs that are the problem.
I have also made sure that my computer doesn't go to sleep when I load my music onto my iTouch and that my external (which stores my entire music library) does not go to sleep.
All of my apps work and everything else seems fine.
I really cannot figure out this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

Do bluetooth portable speakers play all media in OSX ?

Do bluetooth portable speakers (UE Boom,Soundlink Bose) play all media in OSX (VLC,Itunes,Games,Movies,...) ? kind of a silly question, but not quite surehow it works, thanks

It should be playing it automatically. If it plays manually when you clicked on the next song, theres a problem with the software. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the program. Please post back when done.

How do I PLAY ALL videos on iPad mini with iOS7?

I updated my IPad mini to iOS7 and now the play button has disappeared that used to be at the top of the list of videos in the video app. There doesn't seem to be a way to continuously play all videos. Does anyone know how to do it now? Thank you!

I was the fan of this feature until ios 6 version. I have two mini ipads @ my home for my kids. It helped my kids a lot to play all the episodes within a tv show. Apple some how decided kill the features linked to someone's patent in ios 7, thereby they can avoid paying royalty fee to the patent holder. Even from the initial days there are lot of such features missed out in ipad, iphone or MAC. You might overlook these features as a consumer.
I will be surprised if Apple listens to this customer feedback.
I am seeing the same question being raised in many forums including within apple forums.

I can play all songs on iphone but on itunes on pc it get message orignal file cannot be found

I can play all songs when using itunes on my iphone, but when i try to play them on my pc i get the message "original file cannot be found" what up?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
