Playing DVD automatically - answer, asap, please

Hi,
My client wants their movie to start playing as soon as the viewer puts the disc in the computer, without having to press any "Play" button. Is this possible? Isn't there an auto play feature? I can't find it in the Help Menu.
I don't need any theme for this show, and I know I can eliminate it by deleting the theme to show the first frame of the movie instead. I just want to have the disc start playing when inserted. Your advice gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!
Keith (using iDVD3.0.1)

This is actually quite easy. Open the iDVD project, and click the map view (next to the play button at the bottom). In the window that appears, drag the movie from within the menu over the box that says "drag content here to play automatically when disc is inserted." After the movie (or slideshow/whatever) is finished playing, it will automatically return to the main menu.

HELP ANSWER ASAP PLEASE PLEASE THIS IS URGENT!

Okay maybe not sooo urgent but sort of. Please answer ASAP. Okay here is what happened while I was on my iPad (actually my daughter's iPad) but when she asked to buy a song I said that she could. So she decided to buy "Payphone" by Adam Levine the clean version. So after she clicked "buy song" she entered her password correctly and it accepted it. It said it was downloading and we went to where to see how long it takes for it to download. Then after is finished then she went to her music app (the one that came on the iPad). And it wasn't there! She tried it on her iPod and it did not work! I don't know what the problem is. I saw her and her apple ID was typed correctly. Please help!?!?!?!? Thanks to anyone who answers in advance.

The only other thing I can recommend is to get intouch with iTunes Store support.

The computer is picking up the signal from the remote. Go into system preferences - security - general. Click the padlock and go into advanced. Check disable remote control infrared receiver.

Get a lens cleaner disc. One with brushes and try that. CDs and DVDs use different lenses, so since CDs load and play, I strongly suspect a dirty lens.

Hi,
<u>SUBMIT</u>
Calls an executable program of type 1.
Syntax
SUBMIT <rep> [AND RETURN] [VIA SELECTION-SCREEN]
                          [USING SELECTION-SET <var>]
                          [WITH <sel> <criterion>]
                          [WITH FREE SELECTIONS <freesel>]
                          [WITH SELECTION-TABLE <rspar>]
                          [LINE-SIZE <width>]
                          [LINE-COUNT <length>].
Calls the program <rep>. If you omit the AND RETURN addition, the current program is terminated. Otherwise, the data from the current program is retained, and processing returns to the calling program when <rep> has finished running. The other additions control the selection screen and set attributes of the default list in the called program.

How do I play dvds on hp envy touchsmart 15 notebook with an external player and Windows 8.1.

I have a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 NOtebook PC. I bought an external HP DVD player model dvd600s-H01 5 but I cannot play DVDs.

Hi @pattyathome
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with an external dvd player attached to your notebook.
What is the full product number for your notebook? Please read the following if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Does your notebook already have a built in dvd drive?
Did you install the drivers and software that came with the external dvd player? If there was originally no DVD player in your notebook, it is likely that there is no dvd player application loaded.
So in that event I would recommend installing from the software disk with the DVD drive.

Satellite A40-151 DVD drive will not play DVDs

hi my dvd drive will play music cd's but when i try to play a dvd it just makes a beep and nothing happens i tried windvd and it comes on but everything is blurred and still wont play a dvd

Hello John
Please dont be mad on me but in your posting there is no question or something just small report that DVD drive will not play DVDs.
Anyway, if I am remembering well your unit is about 2 years old and has probably DVD-CDRW (Combo) drive. In my opinion there is no much to do. If the drive has problem with original DVDs I presume that there is laser calibrations problem and the device must be replaced.
I dont know how old is your unit exactly but please check if the warranty is still valid. If yes contact service partner in your country immediately. The drive should be replaced for free. If not you must replaced it on your own. If the drive replacement costs too much I recommend you to use external device (I do it with my old Satellite). On this way I can use newest and very fast super multi DL devices and also create own DVDs.
You can also try to find already used DVD/CD-RW drive and replace it alone. If you need assistance by replacement please write again.
Once again, dont be mad on me. I am ready to write my opinion but it is really annoying when someone write just one sentence and nothing more.
Good luck!

How to make a self-playing DVD from FCP project of 75 minute film.

A Quicktime film has been made in Final Cut. It is about an hour and 15 minutes long. It needs to end up on a self-playing DVD.
Maybe this is a question for the FCP boards (or for DVD SP, which I don't know well): What's the approach to get this project to DVD?---having it look best on the DVD. Are there compression best practices?

Or you may be able to make a Kiosk mode DVD from a QT file / folder using iDVD. (btw ...I've done this successfully thru iDVD6 but I have not yet tried it under iDVD08):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4764361&#4764361
Please note that this approach is the only way I know of to make a DVD (w/in iDVD) that plays by itself and with no menu whatsoever. Hence the DVD will always play in a continuous loop until you press stop or eject on the remote. Or if you prefer you can also use Roxio Toast which has a similar feature.

** Need to create a continuous play DVD for show

I need to create a continuous play DVD to play at a convention.
I have created the iMovie project and believe there is a way to burn the disk in such a way that when the movie ends it will automatically begin from the beginning without intervening. How can I best do this?
Harold

when the movie ends it will automatically begin from the beginning without intervening. How can I best do this?
In iDVD, select the button associated with the movie (or in the Map view, select the box assocated with the movie), go to Advanced menu, choose Loop Movie. The movie will loop forever until the user hit a button on the remote control.

Corrupt safari and non playing dvd

hey!!
if someone could please help....
the first issue: my safari application is somehow corrupt. certain texts are reading as jumbled words. when i copy paste to ask others if they can read what i see, they read it just fine. other internet applications read same jumbled emails fine. is there a preff file i can trash that will ree-build itself? but i dont want to trash my bookmarks.
2nd issue: for some odd reason, my dvd player does not recognize dvd movies. i inserted a few titles and the screen said "dvd file not supported". the dvd player in my g4 powerbook laptop worked before. now it's not.
any suggestions?
thank!!
-k

Hi Kidane,
Any luck on your second issue yet, of the non-playing DVDs? I recently noticed the same problem with my PowerBook not recognizing two brand new region 1 ntsc dvds (which play just fine on an older G4 desktop with an older version of DVD Player). They both have the same unrecognized search cycle that repeats three times, then spits out the DVD. One regularly begins to spin as if to play, but quits after two seconds. I'd love a clue to the fix for this. I don't think the DVDs are faulty, but my superdrive must be. I hope we get an answer!
Edit: I should add, that both non-playable DVDs actually did play just once, after alot of persuasion. But apparently after one play, they won't play again. Neither one played on first insertion either.

Problem burning/playing self-play DVD

Project: to burn and play a self-play DVD
Process: to do this I ....
....first created a slideshow in Keynote
....second exported as a Quicktime movie
....third burned a DVD - however, when placed in a DVD player, I received a message on the player that it was a data disk!
....fourth I used iDVD to create a DVD - however, when it played, "Movies" had to be selected and then the movie to be played had to be selected - what I would like to have is a DVD that will play the movie itself when inserted into a DVD player.
...fifth used iDVD to create another DVD and used its map function and dropped the movie on the firs square for it to be played automatically - this process was suggested in a reply to my post in iDVD- however, it resulted having to make the same selections as before.
...sixth used "Burn.app" which converted my Keynote slideshow to a movie in mpg format and burned the DVD - however, when I played the DVD in a DVD player, the message came up on the TV screen "Playback Prohibited by Area Limitations" and it would not play
I also have used a Burn Folder on which I placed my Quicktime movie but when used in a DVD player, I received the message on TV screen that it was a data disk!
I would appreciate any suggestions, help, and information on how to burn a DVD that will simply automatically play the movie when placed in a DVD player without the introductions and selections to be made when iDVD is used.
Thanks very much for your help.
Vernon

IMac 9.1 has stopped playing DVDs, ejects them after about ten seconds without reading them

This morning my iMac has stopped playing DVDs altogether. It had been struggling to play them before, but now it won't even read them.
I'm running a 9.1, so the warranty is well past due. Not sure if there's anything I can do at this point to fix it, tried to manually eject the SuperDrive in Applications (as per a troubleshooting method) but that doesn't work either. Anyone know a way to fix this?

I would start first with some basic resets, do a SMC AND PRAM reset first, do each 2-3 times and then test. If you don't know how please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets. If those don't work then I suspect your SuperDrive is either dirty or worn out. You can go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit. If that fails then take the machine in for service.
