Play movie "resume" question, adding subitles

Sorry if this question has been asked a billion times.
I understand by adding subtitle streams with a "view" checkmark is being able to view or not view subtitles. However, I want to add 1 button to add subtitles, 1 for off, then 1 for resume movie.
1) How do I make the initial "play" button to work with the beginning movie, or resume when the movie has already started playback?
2) How do I add a button with "subitles on" and forward to a "resume" button, if the movie has never been played yet?
-This will be greatly appreciated!

It helps to name a gprm, you could call this one "been there done that"
Create one script called "play movie", You can use as a pre-script on your track, or simply point the "play" button on the main menu to this script and make the script jump to the movie:
mov GPRM "been there done that" 1 (set your gprm to 1)
jump "movie" (optional line to jump to the movie if the script is a stand-alone)
Then create a second script called "resume"
Resume IF GPRM "been there done that" = 1
Jump "movie" (if the condition in the first line is not met, this line will play the movie from the beginning.)
I'm not sure if the first script would run if someone goes straight to your chapter selection menu to play a chapter, even if you used it as a pre-script, but this should work for the other 99.9% of cases.
Hope this helps -

  • Encore Play Vs. Resume Questions

    Sorry for the be zillionth guy to belabor this old question.. but PLEASE SOMEONE SMARTER THAN ME PLEASE RESPOND.. I'LL GIVE MONEY!!!
    Coming from DVD Studio Pro, I know you need to script your way around this scenario:
    Play Movie - 1st time plays, if not, then resume main feature
    Subtitle On -  Your main feature gets Sub Title On, then go to resume button
    Subtitle Off - Your main feature gets Sub Title Off, then go to resume button
    Resume Button - Resume if you've started your movie, if not, then start from the beginning.
    Adobe has to know that a Resume button can't just do nothing if you haven't started the show, right?
    Encore has to have something that tells the player "I've not started a title yet, should I start from the top?"
    Any specific accurate answers would be most gratiously helpful.

    Jim, there is no phiscial Resume button on the remote.  If any user happen to know that a pressing menu again, returns them to the movie, then great.  However many people don't know this when using they're player.
    One workarwound that I have tested that does work is that you have 2 sets of menus.  1 for the orignal play of a main feature, and then a second for a "resume" play.  (this is a freaking mind trip).  I'll make sure any menus that are associated with a resume function, then goes to resume playing.  This is quite more extra work, as if Encore isn't difficult enough.
    I hope CS 7 will update the resume button to follow a play from beginning if no other program has been played yet.

  • Got a new Mac, my iTunes is whack, (No Play Count or Date Added)

    Hello, everybody. It's been a rough night.
    I currently own a G4 iMac and I just got a brand new Macbook. The Macbook is very nice, it's extremely speedy and I am sure I will grow to love it. We've got just one hurdle to get through together: the organization of my music in iTunes. Now, I've had the iMac for five years, and not long after I got it adding music to it became something of an importance, it was my music player. Over the past five years I've not only added thousands of songs, but meticulously and very specifically organized them into playlists based on the number of spins they have and when they were added. To a lot of people I know this sort of thing isn't a huge deal, but for me this organization became, and I kid you not, a huge, huge part of my life.
    So I get the new Macbook, fire it up and use Migration Assistant, (with the iMac in Target Disk Mode), to move my data over. When it's done I open the iTunes and am greeted with... nothing. Well, okay, all of my music is there, that's nice, (it's what iTunes is for, etc etc), but NONE of my play count or date added information remains. I weep inside.
    Being that this is my first new computer in five years, (a long time!), you might be able to tell that I was hesitant about upgrading. Before getting my Macbook I asked experts at the Apple Store if this method would work, and even received assurance from several people online that everything would be preserved. So, I did my homework, but my Macs and I both apparently failed the test. Here's where we are now:
    1. The iMac, (running Tiger), still has iTunes on it, with all the information, nothing seems to have changed on that end.
    2. The Macbook has a hard drive full of music with no playlist, play count or date added data.
    3. I do own an iPod where I backed up the music before the move. I know that the data information on playlists, play count and date added is on the iPod. I do not dare plug it in to the new machine for fear of the unknown.
    Which brings me here, is there some way, any way of rectifying this? Here is what I would like:
    1. For the Macbook iTunes to look EXACTLY like the iMac's does.
    2. For it to work with both my old iPods without question.
    This has been long, and I fear that some may pass it over as something too much of an banality to be needed help with. But like some collect shoes or hats, I collect music. It's a lovely collection and it's a large part of who I am. I could start all over, but that's sort of like saying the world could start over if it by chance happened to forget how to turn. It would take a lot of effort, and there would be some (more) tears, but I could move on. But I really, really don't want to. I just want things to be the way they were. I'd very much like to have this information present, and I thank you all for your time.

    ADDED:
    Now that I look at it, appears that nothing except for my applications transferred over. My old computer is listed in the Hard Drive, but I can't access any of the folders because I don't have that "level of privileges" or whatever, (odd, considering they're both my computers, do they need to be hooked up for this?). I don't really need for my old applications to be there, (Hello, iWork '06 Demo!), so can I just go and erase them, or am I better just starting all over again?

  • Automator only playing .mov files

    I am working with Automator trying to create a simple video scheduling app. I created a workflow that ...
    1. Gets a specific movie
    2. Plays the movie full screen.
    Everything is tied into iCal and seems to work well except that I can only play .mov files. mp4 files and .avi files will play in Quicktime Player but will not when called through this workscript/app.
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure if this is even the right forum so I apologize if it's not.  Just trying to get an aswer about playing my .mov files.
    I have the new Ipad and I have been recording videos.  I'm looking to get these videos online on my website.
    What is the best way to put this on my website so there is a video player and all.
    Right now I just added the videos online but there are no play, pause and rewind options and its just 1 big page of video.
    Your question is somewhat ambiguous. How you place the files on your web site will depend on how you are creating/managing the web site and how you plan for viewers to watch them. This can range from simply loading the files to an online server and accessing the content directly by its URL in a compatible browser app like Safari or dedicated players like QT 7, QT X, MPEG Streamclip, VLC, or devices like the iPad, iPhone, etc. to embedding/calling specialized "viwers/players" from within the programmed web page.
    Not being a web site programmer myself, I normally just transfer the content to my system and either copy the files directly to my server or use iWeb to publish the files to my server for more generic web site viewing.

  • Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

    I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
    1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
    Is this possible?
    2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    Thank you so much for any answers posted.
    Best,
    Eloise15.

    1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.

    If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system.  If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player.  This should play the movie directly from the flash drive. 
    If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop.  When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes.  I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes. 
    To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard.  In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.  
    I hope that helps!

    Take a look at the "More Like This" to the right.  That question has been asked and answered many times in the past.
    Short answer: try alternate browsers like Skyfire or Puffin.

  • Itunes 10.5 not playing movies on apple tv

    iTunes 10.5 has been nothing but trouble since I first tried to install it.  First there were registry issues preventing me from installing.  Fixed those.  Then it wouldn't connect to Home Sharing.  That went away somehow.  Then it kept disappearing from my Apple TV, which I fixed by adding manual entries to my Windows Firewall.  Now I can't play movies from my iTunes on my Apple TV, which is bizarrely frustrating because I could two days ago.  I can play music and even music videos, but no movies.  The movies play fine on my PC.

    Hi Scott,
    i have very similar problem but even with older versions.
    all of my devices all use iOS 4.x, iTunes upgraded to 10.5 since a week now.
    here is my situation:
    - My itunes Windows 7 PC can ping all other devices.
    - AirportExpress Admin Tool cannot find any device.
    - iTunes does not find remote Speakers.
    but:
    - iPad1 & iPhone4 with iOS 4.x can play movies via AirTune EVERY time.
    - AppleTV2 with latest iOS update can play youtube videos and online streaming content EVERY time.
    - iTunes Windows PC has online Access every time.
    - iTunes has well working access to NAS Harddrive with music and photos.
    to me it seems like bonjour does not work quite well, but i have no idea how to double check connection. is there a way to do ping / traceroute / nslookup from ATV2 without jailbreaking?
    I would really like to have more technical information in iOS devices to do error determination and investigation.
    last weekend i completely reinstalled Windows 7 and iTunes from scratch, as my problem exists since a couple of iOS 4.x updates. i remember it worked quite well in the beginning of 2011 with iOS 3 everywhere.
    any ideas welcome !

  • Can't play movie from gallery on mac

    I can not play movies from my gallery on my macbook. These movies are imported from Canon A630 to iPhoto. In iPhoto I can play them well. All of them are published to my mobileme gallery using iPhoto. Then I open this gallery in Safari on my macbook to check if everything was published. And when I try to play a movie QuickTime tells me that it needs some additional software and directs me to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.htmlos=OSX&ctype=696d6463&cs ubtype=4d4a5047
    I visited this page earlier and installed divx, xvid, recode raw and ensharpen codecs. Also I have Perian and Flip4mac installed codecs. So my main question is: why can't I play movies from gallery using safari if in the same time I can view them well from iPhoto?
    Playing of movies published with iMovie works well. But this does not matter to me since I want videos to be published in events with photos. If iPhoto has functionality to publish videos so it must work! Also I must mention that videos published with iPhoto can be played without problems from my PC with safari+quick time for windows. But under my Mac none of Safari, Firefox and Camino can view videos from my gallery. So I think problem is in QuickTime.

    Anybody?????? Im using web premium CS5.5 it seems ludicrous that by default it lets every website play content on my computer but regards my own content as a security risk and wont let me rectify the problem!

  • Netflix "Play" Movies on HDTV

    Have Intel late 2008 Macbook 2.0 connected to Sony HDTV via mini DVI to HDMI. After initial startup I see my desktop background image on Sony sans toolbar and desktop icons. Opening up Netflix "Play" movies shows movie on Macbook but not on Sony. However, from another discussion was told to move movie to the right off Macbook screen and low and behold will appear on HDTV. If I move all bot a small sliver of the movie off to the right I can get most all of movie to show on HDTV. In order to pause one needs to "grab" the remaining sliver on Macbook screen and drag back to Macbook screen. Also don't see how one can select "full screen" option with this dragging to the right procedure.
    Also on another issue when DVI to HDTV connector is operational my Cox high speed internet connection goes to below dial up speed. Any idea what is going on here?
    Would like to learn what others have experienced in watching Netflix movies with Macbook linked to
    to HDTV.

    Just found solution to part of my question that by going to Display in System Preferences selecting "Mirror Displays" I can see full movie on both Macbook and DHTV without having to move movie to the right of Macbook screen.
    Also ran speedtest.net and with new Display setup internet speed is up to stuff.

  • Iphone can't play movie in mobileme gallery

    I logged onto to my 3G or GPRS and tried playing my uploaded movie in my mobileme gallery but it states "this movie can not be played". However, when I converted to Wifi at home, it was able to access and play the video.
    Can anyone explain why this is the case? Is it some configuration necessary to make it accessible via 3G or GPRS?

    Bring the movie in question into iTunes first. Select the movie and from the Advanced menu select "create iPod or iPhone version". iTunes will create the proper format movie for the iPhone. Upload that one to the Gallery and you are done. The file then works from Windows, Macs and the iPhone.

  • Playing Movies?

    I have recently purchased the Apple Tv along with the HDMI cord and am wondering if there was any way we were able to play movies that we havent purchased from the itunes store and are able to play movies off of our desktop?

    Yes you can. The audio and video formats supported by Apple TV can be found on this web page:
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
    Formats that are supported can be converted by using third party applications. Some apps (such as Handbrake) have presets for specific Apple products.
    Once the file is converted to a supported format it can be added to iTunes and played on the Apple TV.

  • Movie control question...

    Ok, I'm pretty good with After Effects expressions, but
    action script is still a bit of a mystery to me.
    Here's what I want to do. I've got these 7 movies that
    activate when you roll over their hit spot. Each of the movies has
    an open that's about 10 frames, then a looping section created by a
    go to and play 11 script, and then a close that is about 10 frames
    long. The open is a simple scale up and fade up, the close is a
    simple fade out and scale down.
    I've got the script working now so that when you roll over
    and keep over the hit spot the movie plays through the open and
    then loops until you move off the hit spot. If you happen to move
    off at the end of the loop then you get a smooth out, but if you
    don't there is a jump in the action as the movie skips the frames
    remaining to the end of the loop and just plays the end section.
    I've searched long and hard and can't find any technique that
    would make sure that the movie opens plays completely through the
    loop section and then without skipping any frames plays the end
    frame even if you rolled over the hit area and then back out on say
    frame 3 of the movie. IOW, the movie must play without interruption
    from beginning to end every time, but if you hover over the hit
    area the loop will continue until you move out.
    Adding to the dilemma is that these movies are stacked
    basically on top of each other so that when you roll over a new hit
    area while another movie is playing the new movie may or may not be
    on top of the first movie. I was getting a lot of funky flashing
    layers so I came up with a move to front (can't remember the exact
    code right now) script that brings the movie associated with the
    current hit spot to the front. All is pretty good, but it would be
    better if there were some kind of script that I could come up with
    that says if any of the other movies are still playing wait until
    they complete before planing the currently selected movie. This
    would prevent any flashing of the layers as one movie is moved to
    the top of the stack. It may even eliminate the need for the bring
    to the front section of my script.
    I hope the description is clear enough. Hopefully I'll learn
    enough about this Action script stuff to be of some help to others
    in the future.
    BTW, I prefer an action script 3 solution, but I've built
    these pages with both 2 and 3 so either will do just fine.
    Thanks

    This helps. Getting there as a matter of fact. Thank you.
    I seem to still need a stop in frame 1 of the movie and I
    need to have the function read as follows to make things work:
    function over () {
    this.overThis = true;
    this.gotoAndPlay ("start");
    I thought I could remove the gotoAndPlay statement and the
    Stop() at the head of the movie, but I couldn't .
    The only problems remaining are that if you roll back over
    the button before the movie ends you jump to the loop section.
    I'd also like to be able to switch layers so the last button
    rolled over would always be on the top.
    Here's
    a link to my test project. I'm using buttons instead of rolling
    over the movie. You'll also find a link on the page to the .fla
    file.
    Thanks again for the help. I hope to get this completed
    tomorrow.

  • Ipad mini got strucked when playing movie

    I am having ipad mini and when I was playing movie on that it got hanged and I tried of reseting but it was not happing so what to do now???

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Is that what you did when you said you tried to restart?
    You might also try quitting the app you are using to play the movie. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
