Question about iDVD Revolution theme

When I create a project using the Revolution iDVD theme, the first "page" contains the name of the movie, and a button to move to the second page.  On the second page is a button to play the movie and another button for scene selection.  All default stuff.  My question is, is there a way eliminate the first page, so that when the DVD starts playing, the buttons to play the movie and scene selection are available?
I'm trying to avoid having two screens with menu, and reduce it to only one screen, which is shown when you first play the DVD.
-Thanks

Okay, I just figured it out -- When you start iDVD, and click the "Magic iDVD" button, do NOT drag a movie to where it says "Drag movies here".   Instead set the DVD title and click the "Create Project" button on the bottom right.
Now, assuming using the "Revolution" theme, drag a movie underneath the title, ensuring not to drag it to a drop sone.  You will then see a "Play Movie" and "Scene Selection" button created on the first page.  In fact, there is no second page at this point.

  • IDVD Revolution theme modifications

    Hi there!
    I'm working with iDVD ver 7.0.3. and i'm using 7.0 theme "Revolution". I have changed it's background image to white, but there is still a mask or some kind of black and blur background shading, wich fades my white background image to very dark.
    Can someone say, how i can get this "mask" disappear?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As far as I can see, it is not possible to do as you wish. I have tried a few different samples, and it appears that this theme is designed to have the menu background fade to black around the edges, like the "vignette" effect.
    I hope this helps.

  • ((Question)) About  iDVD 6 - Music Encoding

    Hi,
    I have created a slideshow with music in iPhoto 6. I then xxport it into iDVD 6.
    After I set everything up and successfully burn the DVD
    The issue i am having when viewing the playback is when the montage/slideshow ends.. it fades to black and then i get 2 or 3 seconds of the beginning of the song. That shoud not happen. I have the iPhoto 6 preferences set to play the music only once through the slideshow.
    What must I do to correct this problem?
    Sincerely,
    D.

    iTunes does not at present have any feature for watching folders and automatically importing tracks you add to a folder. Using strictly iTunes, you'll have to add any such tracks manually, by dragging them to the iTunes window or by using the Add To Library command. For the Windows systems, here are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:

  • Question about idvd project with multiple movies

    Is there a way to drop in multiple movies and have each movie play right away when it is clicked? Right now the first movie plays on one click but the rest go to another menu where you have to click play movie. I just want my main menu to show the 4 movies I have and then immediately play them when they are clicked.

    You can put them in an iDVD slideshow and they will play consecutively.  But don't assign a transition in the slideshow:
    Click to view full size
    It won't matter what slide duration you select.

  • Question about elegant-mine-theme

    hello, i run openbox with a modified elegant-mine-gtk-theme on my machine.
    everything works fine but in rhythmbox i have a "problem".
    the combo-boxes are too bright but not all, only the ones in the screenshot. other programs work fine. only rhythmbox has this problem so far.
    i changed quite a few colors in the theme and there is no such bright color for combo-boxes or similar things.
    the question is if this is really a "combo-box" or is it something else.
    i looked through the whole theme but can't find something else that seems to fit.
    any ideas?
    it is not that important but i want to solve it anyway.

    i need "3D OBJECTS" color settings! of VISTA.
    i need HUE, SAT, LUM, RED, GREEN, BLUE values.
    XP has this values > desktop properties / appearence / advanced / 3D objects / color / other..

  • Two Questions about IDvd Burning?

    1) When I drop an iMovie in the project, a box appears and ask if I want to use Chapter Markers? At the same time the Apple Due loop (Multi colored Circle is on and continues. I have let it continue to circle hoping it will turn into an arrow.) I have waited as long as 15 minutes while the multi colored circle spins. After what seems an inordinate amount of time (while it is still circling) I click okay to import chapter markers and circle goes away. Is this normal? some time DVD burns, some times it doesn't.
    2) When I get the message that the compression is complete, but there were burn errors, I redo the project and use the same disc (because I don't see any indication where any burn has taken place.) Am I wrong or should I toss disc and go with a new fresh media disc?

    1) I think this is normal. Just choose OK and import.
    2) Usually if the disk has not been touched, the error message tells you the disk has not been touched. Then go ahead and use it again.
    I always suggest that users try the "Save as Disk Image" and then burn that image with Toast or Disk Utility. This will save you from having to guess about burning!
    Chapter Marker Checklist:
    DON'T put a CM within 2 secs ot the beginning. (iDVD will add one for you!)
    DON'T put a CM within 2 secs of another CM
    DON'T put a CM within 2 secs of a transition

  • Quick question about iDVD 4 ...

    When burning a DVD, is the maximum length of time I can make my video 1 hour long or 90 minutes long?? I keep forgetting this ... THANXX!!
    Ryan

    Just to add that your confusion may be that 90 mins is the maximum recommended in iDVD4 but iDVD5 offers up to 2 hours on a standard DVD-R.
    Sue's reference is worth browsing through over and over again.

  • Many questions on iDVD '06...

    Hey guys,
    I am a heavy Windows user but with one Mac at home and now considering moving my personal stuff to a new Mac Pro with a MacBook on the side.
    So I have some questions about iDVD that I would love to find answers. Here we go:
    1. What kind of camcorders are supported? miniDV only? Or can I use DVD based cameras (DVD-R, DVD-RAM) and even Hard Disk based ones (seems like the industry is moving towards HDD based cameras as we can see on the latest high definition 1080i cameras from Sony - HDD and DVD only, no miniDV anymore). Is there a list of supported cameras somewhere on the Apple website?
    2. Can I import MPEG files to iDVD? I have tons of MPEG files I got off my DVD-RAM based camcorder that I can use with no problems on Windows apps like DVD MovieFactory. Can I do the same with iDVD?
    3. Does it support external burners? Any? If not any, is there a list of supported ones?
    4. If I export the my iDVD project, can I export in .ISO format so I can burn on any machine, Mac or PC? Or it exports as .DMG only?
    Thanks guys!

    Thanks for the quick reply Sue.
    The main thing is I do not intend to use iMovie at all. All I want to use is iDVD as I will not be editing anything. I just want to copy whatever files are on the camera (could be in MPEG format) and use them as source files for an iDVD project. Again, there is no editing at all on my case.
    From what I understand iMovie is for editing and that is something I do not do at all.
    And for iDVD, it does not support USB2.0 burners at all? Am I stuck to firewire?
    And again, is .ISO a format iDVD can export to or it always export to .DMG?
    Thanks!
    Hi Claudio:
    1. iMovie was made to work with miniDV cameras. It is
    possible but not good to convert files form a DVD
    camera or a Harddrive camera to iMovie. There is a
    list that is outdated from Apple. Read this from Dan Slagle. It also contains the
    link to the Apple Camera list.
    2. To import your MPEG or DVD files to imovie, read
    this
    3.It does support external burners via firewire. Youo
    acn look here and decide which
    one for yourself.
    4.If you have the proper software, you can export the
    file to be burned on the PC or the Mac. I have never
    used this but you can try.
    Sue

  • Revolution Theme Question

    I've made an iMovie and made chapter markers in garage band. I then usually share it with iDVD. After choosing to share I edit the title on the MAIN (front page) of the Revolution theme. When I go to edit the text on the scene selection menu, I cannot figure out how. The text says, "Revolution Chapters". Is there a way to edit this? I'd like to personalize it.

    I actually know exactly what you're talking about. For some reason, when iDVD creates the default chapter menu in the Revolution theme from Garage Band (I'm not sure if it does it from other importing procedures or not) it sets the text that spins around the drop zone as "Revolution Chapters," despite the menu text reading "Scenes 1-6" (default). The solution was surprisingly simple: under "Themes," select a different menu type (I used "Revolution Extras"). Then simply switch it back to "Revolution Chapters" and voila! The revolving text should now read the same as the menu text (as it should).

  • Idvd '08 revolution theme scrub bar

    The revolution theme in idvd '08 has a scrub bar at the bottom of the image frame, with a check box at each end.
    I cannot quite figure out what the check box does, and what the hatched area that appears in the scrub bar does/
    Anyone have a clue on this?
    Thanks.

    The little check boxes at each end are for write in/out. With the boxes checked, when you enter the menu, it will have a cool "entrance" and "exit."

  • IDVD '08 - Modifying Revolution Theme Chapters Background

    Hello everyone!
    I am authoring a DVD using iDVD '08 (7.1.2) and I've decided to use the Revolution theme.
    I modified the menu and fonts for both the Main and Chapter screens. However in Chapters screens, the "scrolling text" that is running in the background says "REVOLUTION CHAPTERS" and I can't find a place to edit this text, as I could do on the main screen.
    Does anyone know if and how this can this text can be changed? If so, please let me know how. I'd be so grateful.
    Thanks a ton!
    - Austin

    In the Chapter menu the title usually is Chapters 1-6 (if you have 6 or more chapters)
    Click on the title and change to whatever you want to rolling text to be. You may have to click on the rolling text to get it to change right away.
    Happy Holidays

    Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
    I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
    Thanks.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
