Scene selection and play button

I was wondering if there is a way to put the scene selection button and the play movie button on the main menu page without having to click the movie link and then go to the page that has those on it. I want to be able to open the dvd and on that first screen have play movie and selection, like all regular movies you buy.
thanks

Hi
Yes that's the way iDVD works if You set Chapters in the movie editor You use (iMovie or FinalCut)
But there are things to know about this that can give problems
• Do not set any Chapter Mark at the very beginning - iDVD wants to do this by it self - if set iDVD gets into problems
• Do not set any Chapter Marks in any transition or within 2 sec from it. A known problem maker
• When movie is done and Chapter Marks set and it is imported into iDVD - THEN DO NOT go back to make any
change what so ever.
If You MUST - Then You also MUST - Start a brand new iDVD project - The old one will ask You to Up-date or Cancel
Neither will work. Up-date will seem to work except all Chapters will now point to Chapter One and other strange
things will happen.
Play All button - There are non in iDVD.
• Movie with Chapters will in iDVD mean various in-point to Your movie - then play to the very end.
• IF You want each Chapter to go back to Menu - Then You have to add them as individual movies and
then if You want to play all - You also need the full Movie. Resulting in 50% space as You need both versions.

  • IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Disk Mode? How long pressing the select and play buttons?

    Please, I`ve tried everything to turn it on my ipod since i drop it. It doesn`t appear in itunes or desktop, or my computer. It was with that exclamation mark. I was trying to turn to Disk mode, but it doesn`t go!! For how long should i hold the select and play buttons? I was holding for about 5 minutes until i gave up. Does it take that long?
    Thanks, Juliana

    How to put your iPod into disk mode:
    1) First, make sure that your iPod is mostly charged.
    2) Toggle the "hold" switch on/off a few times.
    3) Hold the "menu" and "select" (center) buttons down together for 7 seconds.
    4) As soon as the Apple logo appears on the screen, let off the menu and center buttons, and immediately click the "select" (center) and "play/pause" buttons until the "disk mode" screen appears.
    If that didn't work, your iPod might be broken.
    But before you presume that, try those four steps above several more times. Sometimes you need to do this step several times before you get the hang of it.
    I hope this helps!

  • Last Scene Selection Will Play on the Burned DVD

    I only have two scene selections. If you are in the iDVD project, you are able to click on either scene selection and they play fine.  After I burn onto a dvd, the 2nd scene selection will not play.  The movie is 55:45 min.  and I chose "Prof. Qual."

    Then - the rest of trouble shooting
    • free space on Start-Up hard disk. How Much ? (others of no interest)
    • corrupted preference file
    • error in Permissions or on Hard disk
    • versions of Mac OS + iDVD + QuickTime - missmatch
    see my general notes on this.
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
    • Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
    To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video - neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version ! This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
    or
    Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem ! ! Finally ! !
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
    No of Colors - must be set to millions
    EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

  • Menu and play buttons unresponsive

    The menu and play buttons on the clickwheel are unresponsive, the interface is otherwise fine.  I cannot turn the ipod off or return to menus after selecting something.  I have already tried updating and restoring the ipod, I don't know what else to do.

    Contact apple with this problem. Here is the link.

  • HT1363 after pressing Menu and Select, when the Apple sign appears, I immediately press select and play/pause, but again the red X sign appears. so it does not go to Disk Mode. Has anyone had this issue? I would be grateful if you could tell me what to do

    The red X has appeared in my Ipod Classic Screen. Apple support tells me that I need to first put it manually on disk mode. to put it on disk mode I ought to press menu and select buton togeher, when the apple sign shows up, hold select button and play together.
    After pressing Menu and Select, when the Apple sign appears, I immediately press select and play/pause, but again the red X sign appears. so it does not go to Disk Mode. Has anyone had this issue? I would be grateful if you could tell me what to do.

    Thank you everyone for the replies. It defiantly helped point me in the right direction. With any luck, I will have my replacement phone sometime tomorrow.
    I was able to call the iPhone support line this morning. The Apple rep stayed on the line with me for about an hour until he was sure the new phone would ship out. For $199 plus $29 for expedited handling I was able to get the replacement ordered with overnight shipping. Since the replacement doesn’t involve ATT&T I have no reason to suspect any further delays. Kudos to the Apple rep that helped me straighten out this mess.
    It’s a shame that AT&T cares so little for their existing customers. Not only did they try to sell me the same phone for $499, they outright refused to help me. They also lied to me on numerous occasions and strung me along for close to three weeks for something that only took an hour to complete with the Apple rep.
    I filed a formal complaint against AT&T through the Better Business Burrow as well as requested a review of our cooperate contract with AT&T. Our company currently has over 3000 phones with AT&T and there contract comes up for bid the end of our fiscal year (this October). We will be giving it heavy consideration before we consider renewing their contract.
    I doubt that any of that will matter to a company that cares so little about their customers, but you never know.
    Thanks again for all your help. I would probably still be trying to get my replacement for the next few months if it wasn’t for your suggestions.

    How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    However, it seems as if it may be a hardware problem and need service.

    +" ... Is there a way to make the audio device recognize the camera and play the audio through the speakers during capture? ..."+
    Simple answer - no. FCE has never played the audio during DV video capture. FCE captures both the video and the audio but does not play the audio during capture. You can see your video capture but there will not be any audio. It's always been this way with FCE.
    Possible workaround - if your camera has analog (a/v) outputs, you might try connecting the analog audio out to your audio interface at the same time it is connected via FW to your Mac during capture. It may or may not work. Many miniDV cams can be set for DV out or analog out but not both at the same time. Depends on what your camcorder supports.

  • Help with wav file, stop and play buttons

    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to actionscript, and flash for that matter. I created
    a new flash file, and a new layer. On that layer I put 2 buttons,
    btnPlay and btnStop.
    I found some code on this forum, and tried it, but it isn't
    working. The code is below. I get no errors, but when I test the
    movie, it doesn't play any music. I selected this layer, selected
    frame 1, and put this code in the actions window.
    mySound = new Sound();
    btnPlay.onRelease = function () {
    mySound.attachSound("adagio");
    mySound.start(0);
    btnStop.onRelease = function() {
    mySound.stop("adagio");
    I should also note, I have another layer with a movie clip on
    it, and another layer with a picture on it.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    As another note--I right clicked on the wav file in my
    library and selected linkage and export to first frame as well as
    export for actionscript (and named the linkage "adagio"). Might
    help with a solution.

  • Brightness and Play buttons not working on BT Keyboard

    I have a Bluetooth, short aluminum kayboard. Earlier today my keyboard buttons for Brightness up, Brightness Down, Rewind, Play/Pause, Fast forward, all stopped working. My volume buttons still work though. I reset my PRAM, and made sure the F1,F2,F3, etc. box on keyboard preferences was not checked. I am running on Snow Leopard. I need help with this. Anyone have an idea on how to solve my problem?

    To see if it's Hardware or Software, plug a USB KB in to test with.

  • Adding Pause and Play Buttons to an embedded SWF

    I'm having trouble with a navigation skin of a SWF file I'm
    embedding in one of my Dreamweaver sites. The SWF shows fine when
    embedded without the skin but draws a blank when embedded with it,
    even though they are published simultaneously from the same file.
    I would like to ADD a Stop or Pause button from Dreamweaver
    to the SWF to control the animation.

  • I set up my AE (2 in different rooms) and then tried to acquire and tried to select and play but got error message  -15506 "while connecting to the Airplay device".?

    I am using Lion on a MBP with 2 x AE.

    One quick update.  A workaround that was mentioned in one post did seem to work - if music is started via the Remote app it seems to connect fine. 
    And I'm not sure if I dare upgrade to iTunes 11 given the firestorm of bad impressions I see, including some that relate to Airplay functions...

  • How do I get the same song to play on the main menu and during scene select

    I would like the music to play continuously throught the menu and scene selection. As it is I have to drag the audio file into each scene selection, and the music starts at the beginning.
    At least, is there a way to remove the awful sound track that iDVD has on the themes?
    iMac 20 core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yes I can add audio, how do I get the same song to play throughout the chapter menus? I have 30 "chapters", which are scenes from an hour of home movie. Can the same song play continuously throughout the different chater menus?. As it is now, I have to drag an audio file into every submenu, and it starts the song at the beginning for each chapter menu.
    Otherwise, that same song that is preloaded on the theme is played. I hope this makes sence, kind of hard to explain. Thanks

  • AS2 open another scene and play a label inside a mc

    I'm looking for a piece of AS2 script that will open a different scene and play a label from inside a mc.
    So it should be something like...
    On release go to scene x and play x label from inside x mc.
    I can get to the scene via the button "on release gotoandplay scene 2 .
    Once in the scene I can get a button to gotoandplay themc.mc and the label.
    But what I really want to do is get the button on one page to go to the scene and play the label on the second scene.
    Any ideas?

    use:
    gotoAndPlay("scene2_frame1");
    this.onEnterFrame=someF;
    function someF(){
    yourmovieclip.gotoAndPlay("some label");
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
