Re-linking menu buttons to chapter marker

Hi
I've imported my movie (with chapter markers) from iMovie to iDVD, but for one of the scene selection buttons I wanted a still photo as opposed to moving pictures. So I dragged a jpeg to the position and replaced the button. However when I came to play the DVD, that button now no longer links to the movie, and when pressed just shows the still picture. Is there any way I can re-establish the link from the button to the chapter marker, or is it gone for good? (Please don't tell me I have to start from scratch and re-import the movie again!)
Thanks for any help anyone can offer

There was a Topic here a few days ago about doing what you tried. Might look around.

  • General Error or Crash using menu button on chapter playlists

    This is my first complex project in 2.0 - I needed to have approx 120 clips playable individually from a series of still menus. Given the 99 timeline limit, I created a number of timelines and placed batches of clips on them. I'm then using individual chapter playlists to reference each clip. The chapter playlist is linked from a menu button.
    When using the menu remote button when a chapter playlist is playing, I either get an 'abnormal condition' error, or occasionally, Encore crashes with no message at all. Tried this with no menus, timelines and playlists open but same errors.
    More detail:
    PAL 16:9 project
    28 timelines
    65 chapter playlists
    15 still menus
    approx 120 mpv clips and associated wavs (mpv encoded with cinemacraft encoder sp)
    Settings for one of the clips giving problems:
    Timeline - end action not set, menu remote - return to last menu, all ops permitted, no chapter end actions
    Chapter playlist - end action - return to last menu, override not set, menu remote - return to last menu, all ops permitted.
    I think I can stop the errors and crashes if I disable the menu remote button - but I don't really want to do this.
    Any ideas what's going on? Is it a bug(S)?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Paul.
    The trouble I had was the "Abnormal Condition" error when hitting the menu remote button in preview.
    There was no problem with Prev/Next buttons though.
    I tried burning a disc too, just to check if it would burn true & just played up in preview - but no dice. What happened was the player froze up solid after pressing the menu remote.
    I did create another project where the chapter playlists numbered around 28 from a single timeline, and this actually worked as it should do, so I suspect an issue in Encore's internal stacks where this is all addressed.
    I had to use a different application in the end.
    I believe the reason yours is still failing is simply because despite having 5 timelines, you are still well over the number of chapter playlists that seem to be available.
    It's a nasty bug - but apparently a fix is in the works. Hopefully we will see this as a maintenance release - we got these with both earlier versions (1.01 from 1.0, and 1.5.1 from 1.5) so I am hoping it will happen.
    There are a couple of issues I have noticed - although this is so far the only one I cannot work around in my projects.
    One thing has just occurred to me that might help you here.
    Instead iof using a chapter playlist to reference each clip, save these for multiple clips that need to be accessed, and from your chapter menu, just point directly to the clip in question.
    Set an end action for each clip to revert back to the menu that called it, and create just a single chapter playlist for a "Play All" situation.
    This will greatly reduce the number of chapter playlists you are running - and should do the job for you.

  • Linking menu buttons to pages for an Android app

    Hi all. Ok im a bit of a rookie when it comes to flash but here is my dilema. I want to link a button on my main page, to another page with info on it.
    For example: my main page has the buttons" PS3"... "Xbox 360"...."P.C" I want each of these buttons to link to an alphabetical list, ie: A-Z. And id like to be able to do this without the need for an internet connection. I have tried googling it but i could not find an answer to this. If anyone has any suggestions it would be great.

    You'll need to be sure to include stop() commands in each scene.  I recommend you just get away from using scenes at all... they are problematic when you try to mox them with navigation.  Just place your pages in different frames of the same timelines or just have them as movieclips that you control them being shown (or a little of both).
    AS far as the flickering from scene to scene goes, that's most often an indication that you have coding errors.  Do you get any kind of coding error messages?
    This is a weak spot for me because I have not developed apps for mobile devices.  Because support for developing apps is a recent feature of Flash, I think that you can't use AS2 to do that.  The on(release) code you say you are using is AS2.  I have to believe that you need to use AS3 to be programming for an app, though I might be entirely wrong in thinking that.

  • Link Menu Buttons to Subtitle Track in Encore DVD 2.0?

    I desperately need help with subtitles in DVD 2.0. I did: “Timeline > Add Subtitle Track” on each of my 10 timelines. I added a few subtitle texts to check how it works. So far so good. I created a submenu with “Select Subtitle, etc.” Then I tried to ‘link’ the Subtitle Button on this menu to subtitle track #1 – but it wasn't available in the Subtitle Button’s Properties panel’s Link drop down menu (and the Override drop down menu was grayed out).The Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 Manual says (on p. 222) that “You can set the audio or subtitle track with any link control (such as End Action or Override) in the Properties panel.” This doesn't seem to be the case unless I am doing something wrong (most probably). Also, on the same page, the manual says that “2. Select a button to set … the subtitle track… 3. In the Properties panel, choose Specify Other from the Link pop-up menu.” There is no “Specify Other” selection in the list. (One comment: The subtitle track does not show up in the Project panel – may be this is the problem?) I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Laci.

    HI Bill, I have another subtitle question. I finished my first (big) Encore DVD 2.0 project yesterday (). I build the DVD image but when I tried to burn it to a DVD disk it turned out that the project has about 122 million more bytes than what would fit on the disk (). So, with PE 7, I edited some of the 9 movies in the project (exported them with same name, to the same place as during the first time) and I opened the Encore project.  I noticed that it used the old (imported by Encore) avi files. Then I did something not very smart: deleted the old (and long) avi. files from the project and imported the edited (and shorter) new avi files. At this point, I noticed, that my laboriously created subtitles disappeared  .
    Do these subtitles still exist somewhere? There is a file in the project, called "SpuSplit.ses" in the SubtitleDataFiles folder but I do not know how to open it or if it would help at all. More important: What should I do next time to save the subtitles (or audio for that matter) if I still want to make some (minor) editing on my project after building the DVD?  (I assume that I have to create the subtitles in script files and then import them as many times as I want. Am I right?)
    Thanks for any help, Laci.
    (BTW, I uploaded my picture and it is in 'My Profile' but does not show up with these massages.)

  • Link menu buttons to subtitles??

    Hi! I've got a pretty big problem. I created a new DVD-project with Encore CS3 and imported subtitles in two languages, english and portuguese. Now I have the idea, that the user of this DVD can select the subtitles in a submenu. As it is often used in normal movie-DVDs. But how can I do this?!
    To sum my problem up, I want this function:
    I hope you can understand, I really need your help!
    Greetings from Germany,
    Erando

    Now here are my observations comparing Blu-Ray build to DVD build as far as subtitles issues, in general, are concerned.
    1- Although ,as you well know, each project has a default subtitle and audio track that    initially is active the moment you insert your Media (blu-ray or DVD). On a normal DVD when you hit the "Play Movie" button in the Main menu, movie starts and the default subtitle is active . On a blu-ray Disc the default subtitle track is not active - and playback has no subtitle at all unless you select subtitle Button on your remote and select a language track .
    2- On a DVD each subtitle track displays its language on the screen when you use the "subtitle " remote control button; i.e. English ,French or whatever etcc.. are dispayed on the screen. On a Blu-ray DISC all languages become English !
    3- Adobe useful Help recommends and insists on a Gap of 2 frames between each subtitle for Blu-Ray projects. Well not even 6 frames are enough you need a minimum of 8 frames gap between each subtitle which makes short subtitle lines  duration very short - the moment they appear they disappear very fast.
    It is a  real Pitty because Encore Cs4 is a wonderful application .Unlike other complains that I randomly witness in the forum I never Had a problem with DTS audio or AC3 or H264 or MPEG or any other error like build error or audio error and all the streams I use are High Def 1920 x1080 always show on the project panel as : dont transcode for blu-ray settings . everything is great but this tiny small issue that I could not so far master

    What code have you tried?  Where do you have the code planted?  If you plant all of the code in one place, such as the main timeline then it might be easier for you to manage targeting whichever objects you intend to.

  • Menu Button Links Aren't Lost When Adding Additional Premiere Chapter Points

    I have a single overriding need in Encore. All other enhancements are secondary.
    Problem: If you change Premiere chapter points in a sequence, the Encore menu buttons lose all the chapter point links when the sequence is reloaded.
    Let's look at the work flow for a real world production situation.
    I create a Premiere sequence with 16 sequence markers as chapter points. In Encore, I create a timeline using the encoded Premiere sequence. I then link buttons in a menu to the chapter points in the timeline. My customer reviews the proto and invariably wants the following changes:
    1) Add additional chapter points.
    2) Move existing chapter points.
    3) Add or remove some footage from the Premiere sequence.
    Ideally, I should be able to add or move chapter points in the Premiere sequence including adding or removing footage. Upon entering Encore, Encore should realize from the date of the encoded m2v and wav sequence files used by the Encore timeline that something has changed and reload the modified files into the timeline. By looking at the chapter names in the Premiere sequence, Encore should match the chapter names in the menu buttons with the Premiere chapter names. Encore should then assume that the Premiere chapter points have moved and accordingly have the menu button point to the new location on the timeline (at the appropriate GOP location).

    Use the edit original command.
    Encore takes you into Premiere.
    Move the chapter points to different locations.
    Save
    Export -> Adobe Media Encoder (Use same file name)
    Encore progress bar indicates it is reloading.
    However, the Encore timeline shows the chapter points at the original locations.

  • IDVD 6 Chapter Menu Buttons all leading to 1st Chapter/New problem.

    I've got a pressing issue never previously encountered. iDVD 6 Chapter Menu Buttons all leading to 1st Chapter! I've tried reloading the iMovie file after checking chapter markers. The problem has persisted. This is due to client tomorrow. I've been trying to understand the problem since yesterday, but a workaround solution is acceptable now. Please respond soon. Thank you. -bhgallen

    bhgallen,
    Were your chapter markers placed in accord with: Setting chapter markers at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1110.html ?
    It reads in part: IMPORTANT: You cannot add a chapter marker to the very beginning or end of your movie. (iMovie HD automatically adds an initial chapter marker at the beginning of a movie.) It's also a good idea not to add a chapter marker within a transition, or within one second of a transition or other chapter marker. If you do so, other applications may have trouble recognizing the chapter markers.

  • Remote Menu button: to the chapter menu or the main menu?

    Using DVD Pro (version 4.2.1) for the first time, and I've discovered a lot of fun elements. Here is a question about the remote control settings.
    I want people to be able to return to the +main menu+ if they want while playing the track, by pressing 'menu' (and I've found the resume feature, too). However, the track has chapters, which are assigned to 3 chapter menus. So, when they are playing a particular chapter, i want them to be able to return from it to the +chapter menu+ it came from, by pressing the 'menu' button.
    However, this doesn't work: when playing the video track, pressing the 'menu' button takes me to the chapter menu assigned to that particular chapter, not the main menu that I assigned to the track.
    Well, I see in the handbook that the marker remote setting takes precedence over the track setting ... so which would you find preferable:
    1. when the viewer is playing the video, the menu button: goes back to the main menu.... then when the viewer is watching a particular chapter, pressing 'menu' also goes back to the main menu, instead of the chapter menu, so viewer has to navigate back into the 'scenes' menu
    or
    2 when watching the whole video, pressing 'menu' takes the viewer to the chapter menu and then has to 'up' to the Main menu.... and therefore when watching a chapter only, 'menu' button returns to the particular chapter's menu, which is fine.
    I thought I would have the 'menu' button return to the chapter menu:: up button for faster/easier access to the main menu, for viewers just watching the video, and convenience for viewers watching a chapter.
    What is the more experienced opinion?
    thank you

    Hal MacLean wrote:... 'Stories'. If you are playing the track from your main menu, then the menu call for the track should take you back to the main menu. If you are on a chapter menu and start playback then instead of going to the chapter marker, go to a story that contains the chapter marker instead. The story can also have a menu call and end jump set.
    Ahh!
    The thing is, if you start a chapter playing, do you want the footage to continue to the end of the track, ....
    Yes, that's exactly what i want, and as above, for the chapter in the chapter menu to return to that chapter menu
    If the former, put all of your markers into a single story and set the menu call to go back to the chapter menu.
    Thank you!
    I had already created stories from the second track on the dvd, with each one having an end jump back to the story menu and as no one had replied to this post, i had decided to make the chapters in the main track into stories too, but wanted them to continue into the next chapter. In fact i'd already created these 11 stories, some with 2 chapters in them, when I read your post.
    So i did as you said and put all the chapter markers into one story, with no end jump for the chapters, but a menu call from the story to the 'chapter' menu instead of the main menu. Much cleaner than the way i had started to do.
    And it works just the way i want it to : track's menu call is to the main menu, 'chapter' menu calls are to the chapter menu. Thank you so much!

  • I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

    I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..

    The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
    Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
    Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

  • Can't get my dropdown menu buttons to link to another scene.

    I can’t get my dropdown menu buttons to link to other scenes within the same Flash file.  The buttons are unresponsive during playback – as if no code were attached to it.  Here’s what I have as my AS2 code on the dropped button that is supposed to link to the "Published" scene/page:
    on(release){
    _root.gotoAndPlay("published", 1);
    I'm working with Actionscript 2.0 in Flash CS6.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi kglab,
    I do get these compile errors:
    Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 1 Statement must appear within on handler
    Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 2 Statement must appear within on handler
    But, I think you are correct about the setInterval Loop.  On the home scene I’ve created a movie symbol which is set to call another swf file:
    loadMovie("frontSlideshow.swf", _root.movie1);
    This frontSlideshow.swf file has the following code in every 10 frames:
    this.stop();
    pause = function ()
                   play();
    clearInterval(pausei);
    pausei = setInterval(pause, 5000);
    This will pause the timeframe every 5 seconds before sliding to the next frame so that each image can be viewed.  It seems odd that the code from this subclass file would affect the timeframe of the main class/file where the “movie1” symbol is located.
    Best,
    Rob

  • Flash menu in DW, how do I link the buttons?

    Hi there!
    I have a problem, i'm creating a site in dreamweaver with a
    lot of flash objects. For examlpe I'm making a flash menu, wich is
    the hole problem! I'm importing the flash file to the left frame in
    dreamweaver and i'm trying to link the buttons (on the menu) to ex.
    "home" or "about me", though it doesn't work! I can't link the
    buttons because they're in this flash object. I know i'm doing it
    wrong with trying to link the buttons on the flash object but I
    don't know what else to do. And the thing is that i don't wanna use
    the buttons already existing in DW, i've made my own ones. The
    buttons are moving so there is one more problem, they're coming in
    from the right side (in the left frame) and bounces once, and then
    they stop. And that's when I wan't them clickable. So how do I make
    the buttons linking to the pages??
    Would really appreciate an awnser!
    Thanks !

    Flash links are made in Flash, not DW.
    I trust these links are not important, as search engines
    can't see them

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 Template - Main menu button not going to correct page link

    Hi,
    Please help me, as i am new to Adobe Dreamweaver.
    I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, then recently changed to CS5.5, firstly i couldn't get the templates to update, but by playing around i managed to get the template up update all the pages. #
    I am now having problems when i click on the link in the website, it seems to be looking in the templates folder for the html page.
    Website addrerss: www.malegroominglounge.co.uk
    Pages that i am having problems with when i click in the menu buttons : Male Waxing, Contact Us & Find us,
    This is sometimes working but most of the time comes up with: 'Page cannot be found' and when looking at the URL it is e.g http://www.malegroominglounge.co.uk/Templates/malewaxing.html
    Why is it looking at the templates folder?
    I have checked the template file in menu url and it has not got an extension to look in the 'templates' folder.
    Could someone please help?

    Hi
    Thanks for your investigation.
    Yes i can now see on the source that it is using the templates folder e.g (www.malegroominglounge.co.uk/templates/findus.html), but when I go into dreamweaver template, the code i see is:
      <div id="sidebar1">
        <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
          <li><a href="index.html" class=" style1 style21">Home</a> </li>

          <li><img src="holisticguild300.jpg" width="130" height="46" hspace="3" /></li>
        </ul>
    So not sure what i'm doing wrong.
    Can I just check that the 'Don't rewrite relative document paths' check box should be unticked (this is found in DW CS5.5 - Site - Manage Site - Edit - Advanced Settings - Templates)
    Any help much appreciated
    Cheers

  • Blu-ray menu button made with dynamic link won't work on Blu-ray disc
