Resume function in DVDSP perfect, unless no video has been played yet

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the Resume built in DVDSP 4(1.2.). It;s perfect, saves hassling with scripts as I have a play all menu and chapter buttons menu. Except, when the viewer hasn't played any video at all, it goes directly to the setup menu and clikc 'resume'. Then the player gets stuck, because there's nothing to go back to. So, is the only solution scripting? Or could I place a .5 second black video that playes as first play? But then resume would go back to that? Any suggestions?

.5 second black video as a first play is an old and highly recommended trick of all Hollywood DVD authors. This is a DVD-Spec thing. You can only resume to a video that has already played.

    What version of FCP X?
    Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
    It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
    Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
    Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

  • Youtube ipad blank no UI but navigator for video has been shrink?

    I don't know if this a bug from youtube,or something that my small brother did,so i was letting my small brother going on my ipad mini youtube app,and when i got it back and go on youtube, the white UI for browsing videos has been shrinked into like a iphone size and nothing is in the middle but i can see my profile tabs (My channel,my subscriptions,History,etc) on the left just fine, i tried pulling it back into the middle but it won't let me,i tried going to settings and nothing there helps me,i tried deleting the app and re-downloaded the app, and it still is the same.

    I have exactly the same issue on my ios8.0.2 ipad Air.
    The app appears to work as expected in portrait mode but when swapping to landscape (which I normally use it in) the white area showing the list of videos has shrunk from 2/3rds of the width of the screen to 1/3rd.  It's as if it's not auto scaling out again when the screen orientation changes.
      I seem to have an additional grey column now under the settings cog i can click on but nothing I do will shift it.  I've tried dragging the video list to the left, double clicking, resetting the youtube app and even scrubbing it from the pad and re-installing it.  no joy.
      It kind of looks like the settings icon isn't in a small square area anymore but has resized out to 1/3rd of the screen wide (leaving the icon itself the same size at the top) and extended all the way down the screen.
    Glad i found at least one other person getting this issue as it's been driving me nuts trying to work out what happened.

  • I find very annoying that, although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list. how to stop it from happening?

    i use Google home page as my firefox home page. often i find that although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list instead of accepting the typing. how to stop it from happening? why not stop the cursor from appearing in the search box unless you have clicked in it?

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • Online video has stopped playing

    Hi All
    Last night out of the blue online video has stopped playing in Safari. From example a YouTube video imbedded in Facebook just is blank also in YouTube itself the site loads but the videos just dont play.
    Any ideas?
    I am running Lion OS X version 10.7.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.66Ghz Intel i7, using Safari 5.1

    Since YouTube / Facebook require Flash, try updating the Flash plugin.

  • Video will not play, yet audio does.

    Like the header says, all of a sudden I go to work on a project I've never had trouble with and the video will not play; it is frozen wherever the cursor is. Yet the audio does play. I've tried clearing cache, clearing premiere cache, gone all over the internet to try and find an answer, of course India is closed right now, so no help there, not that they really give it anyway. So I'm asking if anyone might have experienced this one and figured it out despite Adobe. I'm on a PC with Windows 8 and terabytes and terabytes of storage; plenty of space left on disc, too. As I said; this has never been even a hint of a problem Just started up today. This even beats most Adobe "beta testing" problems they heap on us unsuspecting sheep. So I'm completely flummoxed. A prize to whoever knows what's up with this! It's a new one on me... Thanks in advance to whichever genius knows the answer! :-)

    OK, I found the answer by myself and wish to share it with those having the same issue. It turns out that the saved workspace can corrupt allowing audio to play, while video remains frozen. The fix is to change the workspace. Go to WINDOW, after creating a new style workspace and save the new workspace. Problem fixed. Also, if there are already a number of other saved workspaces that involve video you can simply change to that one and it will be fixed. Delete the corrupt workspace. That's it! This was discovered through a simple process of elimination which proves that bugs really can surface anywhere for no intuitive reason. Hope this helps you!

  • In the newest firefox - when on youtube watching videos, I no longer see the streaming bar (lighter red) indicating the video has been downloaded. Any ideas why?

    I have just upgraded to the latest firefox.
    I have a problem streaming videos on youtube. Typically, when you stream a video on youtube, you can see on the "timebar", that the video is being downloaded shown in a lighter red, with the solid red the indicating which of the video you're already at.
    However, in the latest version firefox, I longer see the streaming (lighter red) on the timebar, so I have no idea how much it has downloaded/streamed. I have updated my flash etc...but doesn't solve the problem. Can anybody help? Thanks!

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Can we ad a functionality of skipping the Pre Roll ad after 30 seconds of the Ad has been played?

    I am using the OSMF framework for developing my own video player... I need to know that can I ad a functionality by which I can skip the Pre Roll Advertisement Video only after a certain duration... say 30 seconds?
    eagerly waiting for your suggestion...

  • Determine when a QT video has finished playing w/ javascript

    I need to determine when a video clip is finished playing so that I can trigger a function to perform other actions. I can find functions on how to monitor loading & that sort of stuff. But, I can't find a way to monitor when it's finished playing.
    The video clip will be loaded 100% first, then played without any controls (forced to play through), and then hopefully have a function to play it.
    I could always try to determine that if it's a 30 second clip that 30 seconds after it's loaded 100% to perform the action, but I'd rather just have something monitor when it's finished.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

  • Using a property node of a menu ring to generate a secondary address does not work in a subvi unless the subvi has been or is opened. Why?

    I am writing drivers for third party equipment using LabView 6.1. I am using the property node, digdisp.text, to get the item number of menu ring. This number is being used as the GPIB secondary address for the equipment. This vi is one many subVIs like it in a main vi.
    The only way the main vi works consistently is if I open all the subVIs, otherwise the secondary address isn't picked up and I get a EARG and ENOL error in NISpy and a GPIB write error in the Error Out cluster.
    I have attached an example of a NIspy capture of a failed attempt.

    Hi,
    EARG (4)
    Error Condition: Invalid argument to a function call.
    Description: EARG results when an invalid argument is passed to a function call.
    Possible Cause: The following are some examples: you call ibtmo with a value not in the range 0 through 17 (possible timeout values correspond to a table of values ranging from 0 to 17, where the default is 13, which represents a 10 second timeout); you call ibeos with meaningless bits set in the high byte of the second parameter; or you call ibpad (or ibsad) with invalid addresses.
    The reason you are getting the error is because not only is your secondary address invalid, but your primary address is also invalid. Lines 14 and 16 of your attached NI-SPY capture set
    the primary address (ibpad) and secondary address (ibsad) respectively. You need to make sure that you are passing the addresses properly to the subVIs using a connector. It seems like your programming when sending and receiving data (like the addresses) from your subVIs is not correct. You have to be sure to pass the data back and forth in the proper method using connectors.

  • How do I know if my Video has been sent?

  • Once Audio/Video has been merged, I can no longer access the video's source setting on some clips

    Hi.
    Shot Scarlett, doing a pass in RedCineX, and bam, I can no longer reload the RMD files on some of the clips in premiere.
    In the timeline, if I right click the video, "source settings" is clickable, but doesn't do anything.
    If I reveal the merged file in the project, the "source settings" option is greyed out.
    If I click the original r3d file in the project, I CAN access source settings, but reloading the RMD does not modify the merged clip.
    What's really bothersom is that this is only affecting about 1/2 my merged clips, all created at the same time.
    I've unlinked, relinked....I've rain danced...I've swore...nothing works....any help?

    I cannot help with this problem (not having any RED media myself), but if your media was shot at true 24 fps (not 23.976), I could use another pair of eyes on a particular issue that might also affect you.

  • No indication if video has been viewed?

    On the iPhone Videos app there is either a blue circle (unwatched), half circle (partially watched), or no circle (watched) - a very handy feature. However on the iPad I can't seem to change the default view which just displays all the videos without any indication if they have been previously viewed or not. Does anyone know if this is even possible on the iPad?

    It works for me for TV Shows, however it is a gray dot beside the name rather than a blue dot. It appears as though the indicator is not available for movies though.

  • Problems with Pan and Zoom after video has been saved

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and I am running into a problem when I want to use pan and zoom.  I watched a video that said you needed to have the picture larger than the video frame so that you have room for panning and zooming.  The problem I am running into is after I create a video and play it back you can see all of the picture that sticks out past the video frame.  It doesn't show up when you are creating the movie.   Here is an example:
    I do have a video overlaying this photo.  It is the pinkish color that you see here in this picture.  It doesn't show any of the picture that extends beyond the sides, just on the top and bottom.
    I have tried having a different sized video frame. I have tried saving it as several different formats and this happens every time.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

    No, I am not concerned about the playback buttons. Maybe this pic will explain it better.
    From my project. You can see that the picture is larger than the viewable area so that there is room for the pan to occur.

  • The perfect solution to scratches has been found!!

    Get Over It!!!!
    Ive had my 5G ipod for just over a month now. But with all the talk about scratches I was too afraid to touch in the first week. The result was that I was not enjoying it nor was I showing it off!!(which all 5G owners want to do!!)
    So thought stuff this, I give up and im going to handle this thing as much as I want to.... The result could not be better.
    I only use the case that was provided in the box. Now yes, you do get smudges on the back from handling it. But buy using the case it actually cleans it. The same goes for the front too.
    All im saying is if everyone got over this issue I dont think it would not be as bad as it seems to be made out. (cant comment on nano, dont have one!) Sure there are one or two "faint" scratches, but you only see them if you look really hard in certain light.... Fark that, cant be bothered. Enjoy it and move on..

    It is hard to "get over it" when the scratches in question impede the ability to view videos on the video ipod clearly. If it was just a music player, fine. But as a video device, I feel that it shouldn't scratch so easily. Take a nail and put a few deep ones in your TV screen, then take some coarse sandpaper and give it a few scuffs. Now try enjoying watching some shows.
