Returning to a master menu at the end

Hi, I hope someone can advise me on this.
I am planning to offer several Captivate presentations which
can be copied to a local disk, played from the CD or even online.
The viewer will select the presentation he wants to view from
an HTML page and I want Captivate to return to that page after each
presentation has finished. However, while I can enter an
http:// address if viewing online, I can't work
out what the syntax is to get it to return to the main menu,
especially if I put the presentations in a sub folder of the main
folder. Does this make sense? The problem I will have is I don't
know the physical drive letter or root folder of the main menu, so
everything needs to be relative to this start folder.
Say the menu is in \movies\menu.htm
The presentations are in \movies\presentations\movie1.htm
movie2.htm etc
How do I get the browser to find the menu.htm again after it
has finished playing movie1.htm?
Many thanks.

Hi there Nigel
Typical HTML relative path shorthand would say that ../ is
used to move up a directory level.
Based on the structure you are proposing, I would think the
links for each movie to return to the main menu would look
something like this:
../menu.htm
Cheers... Rick

Doesn't jump back to menu at the end.

After playing the last chapter it would not go back to the main menu. What is the problem?
thanks,

Thanks a lot; I was looking for that jump feature until I got the answer. I had to double click on the track to get that. But what puzzles me that in all other projects I did not have to specify the jump feature. It worked without. I went to check the setting and it says jump NOT SET! Why did it jump?
Thanks anyway I will try to set jump to menu.

Why has disc menu appeared at the end of dvd?

Hi
Have just finished a project and then decided to create a disc menu to navigate to selected scenes. Burned the disc and found the menu at the end of the disc rather than the beginning. Could anyone inform me how to move it to the begining as I cannot see it anywhere in the timeline.
Many thanks.

Sorry for the delay but here's the update.
The menu is now at the beginning of the discs....but.
After the 1st dvd (which was fine except the menu at the end) I altered a couple of scenes in the project and burned a further 2 (for family). I tried various machines and this is the result.
On A toshiba dvd: Menu is at beginning, difference being that when you navigate from the main menu window to the scene selection window the screen format seems to reduce to 4:3 ratio instead of being widescreen. Also when you get to the scene selection window the buttons for navigation do not operate.
On a Sony bluray: Menu is at beginning, but again when you navigate from the main menu window (16:9) to the scene selection window the screen ratio reduces to 4:3.
But in this case the buttons for the scene selection window do operate.
On a windows pc/and Mac.
Same as the sony bluray.
On the bluray, pc and mac because the scene selection window reduces ratio size it causes the selector tab to not be at the side of the scenes when you want to choose them but to overlap onto the thumbnails.
I did another mini test and the scene selection window remained at the correct widescreen ratio.
The one problem that is consistent throughout is that when trying to navigate the menu the scene selection/menu buttons do not all show up or are offset to the scene you want
Hope this is not to long winded but wanted to give you the full picture.

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!

Can You Get iPod To Stop/Pause At The End Of Each Track

I really need my iPod to stop/pause at the end of each track/song, but it insists on playing right through a playlist one song after another. Does anybody know if there is a way of achieving this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals about this. My iPod is new and is the 60GB color screen model. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi boaster, is this an apple accessory, or where else will I find one? When you say there will be some manual intervention, I presume you have to press the button to actually stop it at the end of each track??
Dave W. I've tried your suggestion and it works fine. Its also good because it keeps iPod within the correct playlist. The original suggestion of one track per playlist also works, but unfortuanatly iPod defaults to go back to the main menu at the end of every playlist so you then have to navigate back to where you need to be. Dave, it looks like your suggestion is the answer at the moment, many thanks, although would like to know more about this 'airclick' remote please. Cheers.

I Can't get the motion page to play at the beginning of the movie, it old shows up at the end of the movie, Help!!

Does someone know how to get the motion page in I-dvd to play at the beginning of the movie instead of at the end, which is what is happening with my situation??

Are you referring to the motion menu? Check to see if you have the project set to autoplay when you insert the disk in a player. That would bypass the menu and would drop you back into the menu at the end of the show.

To display "modified" by and "modifed date" and the end of every sharepoint page

Hi there,
I want to display
"modified" by and "modifed date" and the end of every sharepoint page and I have as many as 2000 pages
I have the code for it as below which I have placed in my master page
<SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField FieldName="Modified" EnableViewState="true" Visible="true" runat="server" ControlMode="Display"/>by
<SharePointWebControls:UserField FieldName="Modified By" Visible="true" runat="server" ControlMode="Display"/>
The problem is I am not understanding under which div should I place it to be able to see it at the end of the page.
Please suggest.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to insert the two fields at the end of the page by inserting the corresponding controls into the master
page.
The figure below will show how to insert code into master page:
At the end of the page, it will be:

DVD doesn't return to main menu when reaches end - Why? How?

My DVD plays through full movie and then essentially just stops at the end vs returning to the main menu. The menu button doesn't even return it at that point. What can I do to make it return to the main menu when it reaches the end?

I'm having a similar issue...
In all the previous projects I've created with iDVD, the movie always automatically returned to the DVD main menu at the very end of the presentation.
On my current project using iDVD 6.0.2 (787), this is not occuring. At the end of the DVD presentation, the screen continues to stay black until the "stop" button is depressed.
I'm obviously frustrated because I have looked everywhere in "iDVD Help" and within the on-line support discussions for an answer, but to no avail.
I don't think that it's a DVD media issue because the problem occurs on iDVD when previewing (and obviously on the DVD media after burning).
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a special command, tool, or secret handshake I need to provide in iMovie HD, or iDVD? Any insight is most appreciated.

Is it possible to export to PDF without a Return character at the end of every line?

I am the author of a book whose first edition has been typeset and extensively amended in InDesign. I now need to rewrite the first edition to produce a second edition.
When I copy-and-paste from the PDF with which the publisher has supplied me into MS Word, I get a Return character at the end of every line, which means that text doesn’t automatically wrap and sentences are fragmented so that I get spurious grammar errors.
I know that not all PDF files have a Return at the end of every line. Is it possible to restrict Returns to the end of paragraphs when exporting from InDesign to PDF? If so, what should the publisher be asking the typesetter to do?

Thanks for your lightning-swift and helpful replies, Mike & Ellis.
I don't have InDesign myself, so I know hardly anything about how it's used. I'm just trying to research what an internationally-known publisher should already know how to do, but apparently doesn't!
Following your suggestion, Mike, I have downloaded the trial version of Acrobat and exported the PDF to a Word file. This has been moderately successful as there are far fewer spurious Return characters, just a few that I suspect may be hangovers from the typesetter having introduced soft returns in ID.
As you've suggested Peter and Ellis, I'll suggest that the publisher asks the typesettter to export from ID to RTF and Text to see if that's even better.

How to return an error code to DOS at the end of a java batch

Hi,
I have a batch file which launch my java program.
At the end of the program, I would like to give my batch file an error code.
Do you know how to do that?
Does the main function is able to return an error code?
Does the bat file is able to recover it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Nicolas

Hi,
No, the variable ERRORLEVEL will hold the status code of the "command" last executed. E.g.
java -cp "%CLASSPATH%" tets.BatchRetour
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto HandleError

Return statement at the end of try or after catch blocks

Hi
Can anyone tell me which is the better practice - to put the return statement at the end of try block or after all the catch blocks ie at the end of method.
Eg
Method A()
String str;
try{
str= [some code]
return str
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception");
} // end of method
OR
Method B()
String str;
try{
str= [some code]
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception");
return str
} // end of method

I always try to work with only one exit point for each method.
For readability I always put the return statement as close to the end of the method as possible.
In this particular question,
I think you should put the return at the end of the method (for readability, since this is what you are
familiar with), but when I have a try-catch clause, I usually have an unrecoverable error and
should throw this further down the tree, so it usually becomes
try{
   return
}catch(...){
   // write out some logging information
   rethrow exception or throw another exception
}I think you should NEVER reflect the occurence of an error in the return-value of the
method when an unrecoverable exception occurs. Just rethrow this exception or throw another method.
Other methods look like
   Object result = new...
   return result;As for the specific case of a repetitive if-case:
This is possible in two versions:
With one return and a result-object
Object result = new ...
if(..)
   result = ...
else if(..)
   result = ...
return result;With every time a return
if(...)
   return ...;
else if(...)
   return ...;For me the above two possibilities make no difference,
but I find the second version (which I hated when I began programming)
to be somewhat more of a (self-made) standard nowadays.
But I do not think this particular case makes much of a difference.
kind regards,

How do I get buttons to show at the end of a menu

I have a menu that should be played every time (contains disclaimers, etc) and then there should be a choice of which track to play. How do I either get buttons that ONLY show up at the end--or have the menu automatically go to a next item which only contains a background and the buttons. I thought I had done this a long time ago but cannot remember what I did.

The buttons kept showing throughout the entire menu, no matter what I tried. I ended up doing a wierd setup, where I had the menu jump to a submenu at the end. The submenu then contained the buttons. Also, the tracks will jump back to that same submenu at their ends. Not as clean as I would like it, but it seems to work. I had tried doing a SetLoopPoint chapter marker in FCP, but the DVDSP menu just plain ended at the loop point and would not go into a looping setup.
If anyone has any other ideas, I would love to hear them - I am not pleased with this setup.
