Quick dvd question

Somebody wants me to make a dvd with a project where you can play the 3 minute video or go to a chapter where you can play it and have it loop is that possible to have the same on one dvd or do you have to have a looping dvd and then the project just on another dvd if you understand what I am saying.
thanks

Hi:
You can do it in the same DVD without duplicating the track, using Stories. Read this Stories Tutorial (from www.kenstone.net).
You can use the original track setting the End Jump to the Menu, and one Story based in the same track but set the End Jump to itself, then it will loop.
You can build your Mani Menu with 2 buttons: one for the single play and another for the looped Story.
Remember setting the MEnu Button feature for your disc to the Main Menu. Then to escape from the loop you can press the Menu button of the remote control.
You'll find several threads with a similar subject in the DVDSP fprum.
Hope that helps !

  • Hi all .hope all is well ..A quick trim question

    Hi all
    Hope all is well ......
    I have a quick trim question I want to remove part of a string and I am finding it difficult to achieve what I need
    I set the this.setTitle(); with this
    String TitleName = "Epod Order For:    " + dlg.ShortFileName() +"    " + "Read Only";
        dlg.ShortFileName();
        this.setTitle(TitleName);
        setFieldsEditable(false);
    [/code]
    Now I what to use a jbutton to remove the read only part of the string. This is what I have so far
    [code]
      void EditjButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        String trim = this.getTitle();
          int stn;
          if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -2)
            trim = trim.substring(stn);
        this.setTitle(trim);
    [/code]
    Please can some one show me or tell me what I need to do. I am at a lose                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

    there's several solutions:
    // 1 :
    //you do it twice because there's a space between "read" and "only"
    int stn;
    if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
        trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
    if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
          trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
    //2 :
    //if the string to remove is always "Read Only":
    if ((stn = trim.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("READ ONLY")) != -1){
       trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
    //3: use StringTokenizer:
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(trim," ");
        String result="";
        int count=st.countTokens();
        for(int i=0;i<count-2;i++){
          result+=st.nextToken()+" ";
        trim=result.trim();//remove the last spaceyou may find other solutions too...
    perhaps solution 2 is better, because you can put it in a separate method and remove the string you want to...
    somthing like:
    public String removeEnd(String str, String toRemove){
      int n;
      String result=str;
      if ((n = str.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf(toRemove.toUpperCase())) != -1){
       result= str.substring(0,stn);
      return result;
    }i haven't tried this method , but it may work...

  • Quick script question

    Hi all,
    Could anyone advise me if i can add anything within - header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html'); in the script below so as the page
    re- directs back to the main index page after a few seconds ?
    Thankyou for any help.
    <?php
    $to = '[email protected]';
    $subject = 'Feedback form results';
    // prepare the message body
    $message = '' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
    $message .= '' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
    $message .= '' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
    $message .= '' . $_POST['Message'];
    // send the email
    mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '');
    header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html');
    ?>

    Mr powers gave me that script so im rather confused at this point in time
    I don't think I "gave" you that script. I might have corrected a problem with it, but I certainly didn't write the original script.
    What you're using is far from perfect, but to suggest it would lay you open to MySQL injection attacks is ludicrous. For you to be prone to MySQL injection, you would need to be entering the data into a MySQL database, not sending it by email.
    There is a malicious attack known as email header injection, which is a serious problem with many PHP email processing scripts. However, to be prone to email header injection, you would need to use the fourth argument of mail() to insert form data into the email headers. Since your fourth argument is null, that danger doesn't exist.
    One thing that might be worth doing is checking that the email address doesn't contain a lot of illegal characters, because that's a common feature of header injection attacks. This is how I would tidy up your script:
    <?php
    $suspect = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
    // send the message only if the E-mail field looks clean
    if (preg_match($suspect, $_POST['E-mail'])) {
      header('Location: http://www.example.com/sorry.html');
      exit;
    } else {
      $to = '[email protected]';
      $subject = 'Feedback form results';
      // prepare the message body
      $message = 'Name: ' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
      $message .= 'E-mail: ' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
      $message .= 'Phone: ' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
      $message .= 'Message: ' . $_POST['Message'];
      // send the email
      mail($to, $subject, $message);
      header('Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html');
      exit;
    ?>
    Create a new page called sorry.html, with a message along the lines of "Sorry, there was an error sending your message". Don't put anything about illegal attacks. Just be neutral.
    By the way, when posting questions here, don't use meaningless subject lines, such as "Quick script question". If you're posting here, it's almost certain to be a question about a script. It doesn't matter whether it's quick. Use the subject line to tell people what it's about.

  • Quick DVD Option won't work?

    Hello,
    I went into my iDVD 08 and was going to do the quick DVD option, you know, where you just record direct onto a DVD.
    Well when I clicked on the button in the opening screen something odd happens...
    The window closes and then if you watch the icon in the dashboard it sorta flashes and then shuts down. Not so much a miserable problem but still one that I would like to fix and handle.
    So I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem and if so what can one do?
    Thanks

    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.

  • Quick DVD Dimensions Question

    I burned a test DVD of my movie exporting to compressor then importing into DVD Studio.
    I am aware that a DVD played on flat screen TV is going to cut off about 10-20% of the movie around the borders, hence the title safe overlays when editing. Unfortunately when I filmed the movie I did not account for this leaving space at the borders when framing the shots.
    The movie is 16:9.
    I would like like the entire frame to be visable on a flatscreen TV. I am wondering how to resolve this.
    I am considering using some type of feather box or adding black borders. But I don't want to crop out any of the image.
    The other option I am considering is scaling the image down in FCP to fit right inside the title safe zone. But I am skeptical about doing it this way as well. Because I wonder if every flat screen TV is different and each make of TV cuts off a different amount of the image (as opposed to every TV cutting off exactly the same percentage of the image). In that case, if I scale it down into the title safe region, it would fit just right on some flat screens, while others it might be slightly cropped, and on others it would have an ugly black line around the borders.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanx.

    In Compressor select your DVD encoding preset and in the Inspector open the Geometry window.
    At the bottom is a Padding control with parameters for left, right, top and bottom.
    You will have to use a bit of trial and error to get the effect you want. The numbers you enter in the boxes are pixels. Basically you are adding black pixels to the 4 sides of the frame.

  • Quick DVD burning question

    If I create a DVD folder in PE, can I simply burn the resulting VIDEO_TS folder to a data DVD and have it play in any DVD player that supports DVD-R? Do I need a blank AUDIO_TS folder?
    This works fine with my DVD player, but I suspect it supports more "standards" than some older players.
    Paul

    Yes, I have Nero 6. I tried that..... I told it to burn a DVD compilation with the files from the VIDEO_TS folder that PE made. It burned the first one just fine. And then proceeded to burn four coasters. I have no idea why... I didn't even exit the program, just told it to burn more copies. I'm trying again at a lower speed... the burner supports 16X and burns the VIDEO_TS folder as-is to a data DVD just fine at 16X but I'm running at 12X to see what happens.
    It is also possible I was trying to burn to the DVD imatge recorder, whatever that is. I just noticed that it shows up as a device and might be the default. Is it perhaps an ISO builder? If so, it was definitely burning to the DVD... the disk was spinning and the LED was accessing. But each time it stopped at about the 75% point with a burn error.
    I tell ya, I can fix the OS if it breaks, I can do dual and triple boot, I can work in Linux, I can edit and burn audio. But PC video has me climbing the walls. Oh for the days when video was..... video. A little dot flying across a phosphor screen. And NTSC was the only way to go.
    Well, lo and behold.... as I typed this, it completed the burn at 12X. Let's see if it can make a couple more copies.
    OK, calm down, Paul.... not a PE problem as far as I can tell. Just ranting.... The DVD really does look good. I am quite pleased, even if it was frustrating getting here. maybe the next one will be heaps easier.
    Paul

  • Quick HD-DVD question

    Hi guys
    I've just been handed a disc with a .m2v and a .ac3 file where the mpeg has been encoded as HD-DVD. I need to spit this out to DV to play in a venue and I can't seem find anything that will allow me to import the .ac3 so I can convert it to .aiff or .wav to bring it into FCP.
    Any ideas gratefully appreciated - deadline breathing down my neck!
    Cheers

    Nevermind - found an app on version tracker.

  • DVD question for 1.25 Ghz 15" AL

    Hello,
    Just a quick one - do I need to buy a specific kind of DVD for my PB 1.25 w/ superdive? I see DVD + and DVD - on the DVD blanks, but no mention on the PB.
    Thanks!

    Hi J --
    When I go to System Profiler > Hardware > Disc Burning on my PowerBook (albeit a different version than yours, but we're both running Tiger), I see information about the specific media my SuperDrive will run as well as it's make and model number:
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E:
    Firmware Revision: GAN7
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
    Media: No
    Everything's there, I think, except the speed. And that you can get, along with any other specs you need, just by Googling the make and model number and finding the manufacturers listing (or some other reputable site listing).
    If you need more info, post back. It's very possible that someone on here having a PB with the same exact specs. as yours (superdrive and all) will be able to more specifically answer your questions.

  • "E"DVD Question

    noted some posts and some users quite knowledgable about eDVD from Sonic
    I just purchased it and I am stumped... Please forgive the elementary nature of my questions
    I want to create a DVD that contains a powerpoint presentation with video embeded in some of the pages but I am flexable on that if it needs to be done differently...
    Here is what I would like to see when someone inserts a DVD from me
    1) The first screen is a jpg or picture with links that they can select to view a powerpoint, a slideshow, or video clips?
    In the instructions it says "make your VIDEO_TS with extra chapters and titles for your content"
    Question1) I am using "IDVD" to make my original DVD how do I insert chapters and titles witout actually inserting a video? (is this a stupid question?
    Question 2 How do I create the first screen with links to acces the powerpoint, Html, slideshow etc?
    Question 3) Will the end viewer say a corporate client have to install anything? when I purchased it they said it would open in windows media player?
    THANKS SO MUCH in advance!

    Hi Stephanie
    please dont get confused with what DVDSP can do for you and your viewer, with the way you are trying to suggest, they are two different approaches. My method is more reliable, quicker and easier.
    so to reply to each of your questions:
    actually DSP won't support the links that EDVD does
    that is correct, but you do not need to create external links for what you want the viewer to do if you use DVDSP
    a fully functioning interactive presentation can be created in DVDSP.
    from what I have read in this forum DVDACCESS leaves alot to be desired....
    I agree, dont use DVD@access- read on
    so I hope someone can still answer my questions
    read on......
    I want to create a DVD that contains a powerpoint presentation with video embeded in some of the pages but I am flexable on that if it needs to be done differently
    rather than use power point use DVDSP.
    use the text function in DVDSP to create text pages or import existing text graphics
    the sound and video quality that power point plays, usually a quarter screen image is very poor compared to what DVDSP can provide; full screen full motion video
    1) The first screen is a jpg or picture with links that they can select to view a powerpoint, a slideshow, or video clips?
    create a menu with your jpeg with links to the video and links to the text and other image pages
    Question1) I am using "IDVD" to make my original DVD how do I insert chapters and titles witout actually inserting a video?
    you cant create chapters without having an existing video track
    I do not see any point in trying to do this - chapter markers are created once the video is in place or imported with the video file -
    as for titles, they can be created in DVDSP or imported as text
    Question 2 How do I create the first screen with links to acces the powerpoint, Html, slideshow etc?
    in DVDSP select the video menu or text page as a first play and create links to the menus text pages and images as required
    Question 3) Will the end viewer say a corporate client have to install anything?
    No.
    This is the main reason I use DVDSP to create presentations, especially important for networked computers
    They will run on any hardware DVD player or computers with a DVD drive
    when I purchased it they said it would open in windows media player?
    you realy do not want to use windows media player to play MPEG 2
    It requires a lot of manual tweeking by the end user to get results. Create in DVDSP and the user will use Win DVD.

  • Urgent help with quick translation questions

    Hello,
    I am somewhat new to Java. I have a translation to hand in in a few hours (French to English). Argh! I have questions on how I worded some parts of the translation (and also if I understood it right). Could you, great developers, please take a look and see if what I wrote makes sense? I've put *** around the words I wasn't sure about. If it sounds strange or is just plain wrong, please let know. I also separated two terms with a slash, when I was in doubt of which one was the best.
    Many thanks in advance.
    1) Tips- Always ***derive*** the exceptions java.lang.Exception and java.lang.RuntimeException.
    Since these exceptions have an excessively broad meaning, ***the calling layers will not know how to
    distinguish the message sent from the other exceptions that may also be passed to them.***
    2) The use of the finally block does not require a catch block. Therefore, exceptions may be passed back to the
    calling layers, while effectively freeing resources ***attributed*** locally
    3) TIPS- Declare the order for SQL ***statements/elements*** in the constant declaration section (private static final).
    Although this recommendation slightly hinders reading, it can have a significant impact on performance. In fact, since
    the layers of access to data are ***low level access***, their optimization may be readily felt from the user’s
    perspective.
    4) Use “inlining.”
    Inlining is a technique used by the Java compiler. Whenever possible, during compilation, the compiler
    copies the body of a method in place of its call, rather than executing a ***memory jump to the method***.
    In the example below, the "inline" code will run twice as fast as the ***method call***
    5)tips - ***Reset the references to large objects such as arrays to null.***
    Null in Java represents a reference which has not been ***set/established.*** After using a variable with a
    large size, it must be ***reassigned a null value.*** This allows the garbage collector to quickly ***recycle the
    memory allocated*** for the variable
    6) TIPS Limit the indexed access to arrays.
    Access to an array element is costly in terms of performance because it is necessary to invoke a verification
    that ***the index was not exceeded.***
    7) tips- Avoid the use of the “Double-Checked Locking” mechanism.
    This code does not always work in a multi-threaded environment. The run-time behavior ***even depends on
    compilers.*** Thus, use the following ***singleton implementation:***
    8) Presumably, this implementation is less efficient than the previous one, since it seems to perform ***a prior
    initialization (as opposed to an initialization on demand)***. In fact, at runtime, the initialization block of a
    (static) class is called when the keyword MonSingleton appears, whether there is a call to getInstance() or
    not. However, since ***this is a singleton***, any occurrence of the keyword will be immediately followed by a
    call to getInstance(). ***Prior or on demand initializations*** are therefore equivalent.
    If, however, a more complex initialization must take place during the actual call to getInstance, ***a standard
    synchronization mechanism may be implemented, subsequently:***
    9) Use the min and max values defined in the java.lang package classes that encapsulate the
    primitive numeric types.
    To compare an attribute or variable of primitive type integer or real (byte, short, int, long, float or double) to
    ***an extreme value of this type***, use the predefined constants and not the values themselves.
    Vera

    1) Tips- Always ***derive*** the exceptions java.lang.Exception and java.lang.RuntimeException.***inherit from***
    ***the calling layers will not know how to
    distinguish the message sent from the other exceptions that may also be passed to them.***That's OK.
    while effectively freeing resources ***attributed*** locally***allocated*** locally.
    3) TIPS- Declare the order for SQL ***statements/elements*** in the constant declaration section (private static final).***statements***, but go back to the author. There is no such thing as a 'constant declaration section' in Java.
    Although this recommendation slightly hinders reading, it can have a significant impact on performance. In fact, since
    the layers of access to data are ***low level access***, their optimization may be readily felt from the user’s
    perspective.Again refer to the author. This isn't true. It will make hardly any difference to the performance. It is more important from a style perspective.
    4) Use “inlining.”
    Inlining is a technique used by the Java compiler. Whenever possible, during compilation, the compiler
    copies the body of a method in place of its call, rather than executing a ***memory jump to the method***.
    In the example below, the "inline" code will run twice as fast as the ***method call***Refer to the author. This entire paragraph is completely untrue. There is no such thing as 'inlining' in Java, or rather there is no way to obey the instruction given to 'use it'. The compiler will or won't inline of its own accord, nothing you can do about it.
    5)tips - ***Reset the references to large objects such as arrays to null.***Correct, but refer to the author. This is generally considered bad practice, not good.
    Null in Java represents a reference which has not been ***set/established.******Initialized***
    After using a variable with a
    large size, it must be ***reassigned a null value.*** This allows the garbage collector to quickly ***recycle the
    memory allocated*** for the variableAgain refer author. Correct scoping of variables is a much better solution than this.
    ***the index was not exceeded.******the index was not out of range***
    The run-time behavior ***even depends on compilers.***Probably a correct translation but the statement is incorrect. Refer to the author. It does not depend on the compiler. It depends on the version of the JVM specification that is being adhered to by the implementation.
    Thus, use the following ***singleton implementation:***Correct.
    it seems to perform ***a prior initialization (as opposed to an initialization on demand)***.I would change 'prior' to 'automatic pre-'.
    ***this is a singleton***That's OK.
    ***Prior or on demand initializations***Change 'prior' to 'automatic'.
    ***a standard
    synchronization mechanism may be implemented, subsequently:***I think this is nonsense. I would need to see the entire paragraph.
    ***an extreme value of this type******this type's minimum or maximum values***
    I would say your author is more in need of a technical reviewer than a translator at this stage. There are far too serious technical errors in this short sample for comfort. The text isn't publishable as is.

  • HDV to Blu-Ray and DVD questions!

    So I shot a bunch of footage that I need to turn into a DVD and Blu-Ray. I have some questions regarding these 2 issues.
    First of all, I captured all the footage HDV settings 1440 x 1080. I am using Final Cut Pro 5. I am having some issues with the footage trying to multicam edit. It's making me render it out, which takes about 8 hours for 20 minutes.
    What is the best way to go from HDV back to DV so I can put it on DVD? Can I export straight from the HDV footage to mpeg2 or is there a different way I should go about it?
    My next question is. For Blu-Ray video, how do I export the HDV footage in FCP so I can use it in Adobe Encore? Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The easiest way to convert HDV to DV is to use the camera or deck to do this Down Convert.
    Edit and export to Compressor for DVD.
    Multiclip editing is not something I can help you with as I haven't had any success with it.
    For Encore you could export as a self contained .mov then import into Encore. You might want to try working with Compressor first.
    Good Luck

  • First Video Export to DVD Question

    Hi - I have my first ever video export from Premiere to a DVD and I'm a little nervous about it.  My footage will be shot with the Panasonic ACHD (I think that's the model as I don't have the camera with me here) and the camera is set for 1280 x 720 at 24 FPS.
    I was looking through the export settings in Premiere CS4 and found the MPEG-DVD and MPEG Blue Ray settings.  When I select MPEG-DVD, I notice that two vertical bars are in each end of the output; when I select MPEG Blue Ray, there's a setting in there that makes those bars go away and the picture fits the dimensions perfectly, so it looks like I can use those settings.
    My question is - after I export this file, how do I actually get it on the DVD disk?  Should I export it like above and then use Adobe Encore to burn the disk?  Or is there some other method?
    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    Your original file is HiDef, a DVD is Standard Def at 720x480 so you will see a difference from original to DVD
    You may not use BluRay files on a DVD... see above
    You use PPro for editing, Encore for authoring... reading below

  • How to import mpg files & quick time question

    Hello. I found some previous answers here and followed them, which brings me to now. I bought the QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK-MAC OS X-INT plug in to allow me to bring mpg files from my sony digital camcorder. I keep getting a message that 'this file is not a movie file'. I don't know how to tell if the MPEG-2 plug in is installed, how can I find out in Quick Time? I have Quick Time Pro.
    What application would be best for me to start editing movies? I have IMovie 6.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi Trib and welcome to the forums!
    Mpeg2 is the standard compressed final delivery format of a DVD, and is not intended for further editing.
    You need to convert your mpeg2 files to a DV stream that you can edit in iMovie 6.
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:

    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin which you have already installed.

  • 915G combo HDD CD-DVD question

    Hi I have a new 915G combo MB with latest bios etc.
    Here is the question, i have Boot Hdd on the blue IDE1 as c/s the 2 CD-DVD CD/R-RW on IDE 2 as c/s,
    in bios it reports
    Pri master       not detected
    pri secondary   not detected
    sec master      not detected
    sec secondary not detected
    thi master       detected maxtor 160gb
    thi secondary   not detected
    the 2 CD rom detected in raid.
    Ok it works but why isnt the maxtor detected as primary master as normal when in IDE1 slot?
    also why the bios does not detect the 2 CD roms.
    Also if i disable the on board raid, and use IDE bus mastering in bios the HDD light is lit all the time.
    Thanks for any help on this
    All the best Thomas

    IDE bus mastering is not for the RAID controller. Check in the Integrated Peripherals, look for the RAID controller settings, either it's disabled, RAID, or IDE. If you only seen Disabled and RAID, then you'll need to go into the RAID controller setup instead of BIOS setup to change to IDE. If still can't do this, then you have to follow my suggestion in the first place.
    I guess you've already have the perception on MSI board and I don't think anyone can convince you further. Good luck to you on whatever board you use in the future. You're welcome back here if you have any MSI related questions.

  • DVD Question...please help

    This may be a really silly question but... how can I play a regular DVD in quicktime. I downloaded the player in hopes I could watch my DVD's on it but now when I load a DVD nothing happens. Any ideas?
    Thanx

    I'd suggest just using the DVD Player.app or VideoLan.app for DVDs.
    QT Player can open the VOBs in the DVD if the MPEG2 PB component is installed. But the QT Player can open just separate VOBs, it can't play PCM or AC3 audio and it distorts and displays interlacing in PAL so it isn't very good.
    Another alternative is to view the DVD via MPEG Streamclip. It can open the related VOBs all at once and it can play PCM and AC3 audio. It has very handy navigation options via the keyboard or via the GUI. It doesn't currently have an option for deinterlaced playback.
