Random Play for 14 tracks/stories in DVD SP

I am authoring a DVD and have 14 separate stories and they are all in 1 track
How can I use scripting to have a random play button in the menu that will cause all 14 tracks to be played in a random mode? In the user manual it talks about how to "Randomly play tracks",
BUT this only selects one track to play.
How can I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Here is one for Bingo, "plays" 75 different menus with no repeats.
[Bingo|http://dvdstepbystep.com/bingo.php] though it gets slow when you get to 75 numbers.
For 14 sections the scripts can be straight foward (though not as flexible). Partition the GPRMS (1 of them) so you have 16 0/1 holders. Set all the values to 0. Make a random number, check to see if it is unused or not, if unused go to track, otherwise make another random number. Also you need a GPRM that I will call Counter so you know how many tracks, sections have been played, when 14 are played, you have played them all.
So basically (though there are many ways to accomplish the same goal, search random in the PDF) one approach is:
-Increase Counter
- If Counter 15 Break out becuase all is played
- Make Random
- Go To 3 lines of code to see if the Random has been played or not
- Go Back To Make Another Random Number if it has played, otherwise marked as played and jump to it
The image below is set up for a couple, you can code the others the same way,
but need to change line numbers

DVD drive won't play brand new store bought DVDs - makes grinding noise

I just bought my iMac last September and it was going great until the last month or so. First it started making noises when I inserted a new DVD and was slow to start, but it still worked. Then it started taking longer and sometimes rejecting the disc once - I'd re-insert and it'd be fine. Later it started rejecting more than once before it would play and now it seems to have stopped altogether and generally won't play any DVDs. I do watch a lot of movies, but even with a little more than average use it still seems a bit ridiculous that the drive would die or burn out in less than one year, right?? Has anyone else had this issue and/or resolved this issue? I'm new to Macs and haven't had to call the service people before but have heard others say they've had issues with the store service - should I call AppleCare instead? Any suggestions/tips/help would be appreciated. Thx.

It happens. Just be lucky it's still under warranty and give Apple Care a call.

When viewing slideshow my photo playlist stops and randomly plays for a view seconds only

When I go to view a slideshow of photos the playlist I assigned to play either doesn't play or randomly kicks in during slideshow. I have assigned several different playlist to my photo slideshow and they all do the same thing. I am connected to a Mac. No problems with pictures just my playlist.

When I say playlist I mean music playlist.

Vision:m random play all in genr

Hi,
I got my Vision:m yesterday. It is my first MP3 player.
It is great apart form a couple of issues.
One of these is that I would like to have a random play for everything in a certain genre. I don't think you can already do this? (maybe through playlists?)
I have sorted genres into things like Indie and Rock, 80s pop etc and would sometimes like to just listen to a certain type of music.
Does anyone know if this can be done?
If not Creative can you please think about adding this option.
Thanks

Nope, I have the player also, and this feature is not possible.
I don't use Genres though. I've got it so that the Genres act like folders on a PC, so always search for music using this, yet would be pointless for me to have a randomise based on them
They should add it though, yes.

Hey Kelsieee,
First, I would try to resolve the issue with the ! in a circle that you're seeing in iTunes. There's some steps in the following article that go over what that ! usually means and how to fix it:

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Dts track of video dvd plays at double sp

I bought this DVD "queen - greatest video hits ". It provides a lpcm and a dts 5. 96/24 soundtrack. if I set audio output in the player software to spdif, the audigy2 zs card decodes the dts track at twice the normal speed, playing time and video run at exactly double speed - sound is awfully distorted. the lpcm track plays well, as do other dvds with dts and dolby digital tracks, for example terminator 3, but this is a 48hkz dts track. several dts cds work as well using creative media source player.
decoding the queen dts track with windvd demo version also works great, but it is supposed to work with the audigy2 zs decoder as well, isn't it's?
may there be a problem with the decoder playing 96khz dts tracks, because 2*48khz = 96khz -> double speed ?

Duplicate post.

Will pick a song on ipod touch and then it will randomly play another song. Is there a fix for this?

My daughter's ipod. I know little about them.
She will select a song to play and then it randomly plays a different song. Often with the picture for the original song displayed. We've tried resetting and no better.
Is there anything else we can try?
Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

You might have two different things going on at once here.
Starting with the registry settings message.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

All is set up ok but when I view a home movie the apple tv reverts to the menu at random times, sometimes every 30 secs or so, sometimes plays for mins before cutting out and then i have to enter menu, go to movies and select the movie then resume play bu

Whwn viewing home movies the movie cuts out back to the general menu at random, forcing me to enter menu again, reselect the movie and hit resume button.
this happens everytime I try to play a movie, maybe after 1 min of play then again after 3 mins, next time it might play for 6 mins then cut out and so on. The macbook pro is not reverting to sleep mode or closing down and the wifi signal is strong. So is the apple tv an expensive load of junk or what?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Hitting the space bar the track would only play for about one second. Then it stops.

I'm new to Soundbooth and have already a serious problem. Hitting the space bar the track would only play for about one second. Then it stops. I don't know what to do. I have the Production Suite CS5. All other applications run well.

i have the exact problem in my computer lab running macpro on 10.6.8 using CS5... this is happening in every ADOBE CS5 software using sound : soundbooth, AEX, premier pro. this is totaly ridiculous, nothing like that is happening in the other software (finalcut, finalcut xpress, audacity, soundtrack pro all are working fine) ...
i find the lack of help & replies very weird in this forum...
