Scene selection only allows first chapter to play in previews

In the scene selection screen, iDVD will show each chapter in the movie and allows you to play a short movie clip as a preview. I would think that each chapter would allow you to play a portion of video from that chapter. But instead, iDVD only allows you to play a clip from chapter 1 in all the chapters. That makes no sense. What am I missing here?

I have same problem. In test mode, clicking on each chapter starts a relevant time in the main movie. But on a burned project only first chapter works, other just loop but when clicked on, nothing happens. Any help around?
Where can I download IDVD06?

Some of my scenes selection menus won't turn or play sound.

My main menu and the first scene selection menu has motion and sound, but the rest of the scene selection menus do not turn or play sounds (music). How can I get them to work?

First create a disk image of the project and see if those menus work as expected when played with DVD Player on your Mac. If they do then the problem lies in the burning process.
Follow the workflow described below to help assure the best quality disk possible:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When you run a planned, restart or unplanned depreciation run you can ony run it only for all the assets in the real run
When you have run the planned or unplanned depreciation it create records in the system for all the assets and there are errors then you should run the restart for all the assets.
The repeat run you use when you have changed 1 or some assets in the old month and wand only to rerun for these assets the depreciation run.
In a test run you can run it for only some assets but as no test you have to run it for all the assets (only for the repeat run you can make a selection in the real run)

On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

Select only the first 10 letters of a field...

Hi Guys,
How is the correct select statement, if I'd like to compare just the first 10 letters from a field with an other field? '+0(10)' did not work...
select * from /BIC/AWEGLRDU200 into table IT_AWEGLRDU200
                                         where /BIC/WE_AWKEY+0(10) =
                                         <RESULT_FIELDS>-/BIC/ME_BELNR
                                         AND /BIC/WE_AWTYP NE 'BKPF'.
Thanks...

Scene selection freezes burned dvd

Hello,
I recently burned an iDVD project that was about an hour long. The finished burned dvd plays on a dvd player when I press play from the menu. However, when I try to go to the scene selection sub menu I created, it will not work. In fact, when I try to go to a specific scene, the whole dvd freezes up in the dvd player. Any ideas on how to try burning the iDVD project so that the finished product has a working scene selection? Thanks as always.

Hi
+If I was unable to produce a successful disc image with a working scene selection (the freezing happened when I played the image too), does that mean I have a bigger issue than just Memorex vs. Verbatim? I have a feeling that even if I buy the Verbatim, the scene selection will freeze because it froze on the disc image anyway.+
YES. If the DiskImage don't work. Don't burn it onto DVDs.
The problem is in the process to make the DVD in iDVD.
eg using .avi movie files, .mp3 sound etc.
a. secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk
(other ones of no importance)
b. Versions of Mac OS, iDVD and QuickTime (important) up to date
c. Material to build DVD from only.
• streamingDV (video+audio)
• .aiff (audio eg from audio-CDs)
• .jpg (photos - I use this)
Nothing else - convert it to match
d. START a new iDVD project and make Your DVD-design and then a DiskImage
e. Test this with Apple DVD-player
Does it work - burn it with either
• iDVD
• Disk Util tool (set down speed)
(• Roxio Toast™ (set down speed))

How do you make a scene selection?

i recently made about 18 movies on imove with a total length of 9 hours and 43 minutes so they are all exported seperately.
i want to be able to put them on idvd with a scene selection but i want to know if there is a way to put a "play all" button.
Another question - what would the best way to distribute the movie (like is there a way to fit this much movie on a dvd)
Any help is apprectiated!

Hi
A. iDVD limit is about 240 minutes on DL-DVDs and that is Movie + MENU (and this can take significant space/minutes)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
B. Scene selections - is as I get it Chapters and they are preferably set in the movie editor e.g. iMovie or FinalCut. iDVD will create Scene Selection sub-menu automatically.
C. Play all button - No there are non in iDVD - but can be faked in two ways.
• Double movie way - all parts + one full movie containing all
Pro - easy to do and easy to understand
Cons - takes up x2 space
• Put movies into a SlideShow and un-cheque limit picture size
Pro - x1 space
Cons - To me the Audio was severely degraded
D. Total space
• iDVD - 240 minutes (iDVD do not care about Gbs at all only duration)
• Roxio Toast™ - Can squees in 10 hours on a SL-DVD and about x2 on DL-DVD (I guess)
CONS - The Quality will be severely degraded making old VHS tapes recorded in LP-mode look fabulous when compared - Yes 10 hours will look awful.

How to create "Scene Selection" Menu

I'm new to dvd studio pro & thought I was on the right track when I created chapter markers in Final Cut & exported as a quicktime w/ markers, but the dvd studio program either does not recognize the chapters, or I do not know where to look for them. I'm finding the manual very confusing, as it does not appear to directly say how to make up a scene selection menu using the chapter markers. Maybe I'm reading in the wrong place?
If anyone has some pointers, it would be appreciated.

Take a look here for a workaround if markers not showing up (there are others)

Bridge CS5 Output Module only uses first 20 images and ignores the rest

This happens with all the different styles, both PDF and Web. Even though more than 20 images are selected, only 20 show up both in the preview and in the final PDF or web page. It just started happening.

It just started happening.
This always means First Aid for Bridge, that is first to purge cache for
folder using the menu tools/cache/purge cache for folder while having the
content window pointed to the folder the problem occurs.
Second option is renew preferences by holding down option key while
restarting bridge and choose refresh preferences. Try again and if OK set
prefs again to your wishes to see if it still works.

Problem burning cd-only half the tracks actually play

Please can anyone help-I'm trying to do some cd's for my friends wedding. The CD burn is successful, but only the first 6 tracks play, even though the stereo lists all the track numbers.
Many thanks, Dionne.

Hi Rick,
I haven't been on this site for ages and I was wondering why no one answered you! A few questions: what size is the list you are trying to burn? It usually says at the bottom of the screen. What brand and format is the blank CD? Are all the songs checked on the play list that you want to burn? What kind of computer equipment are you using to burn? Usually bought CD's have a very large file format and have to be converted to a different format to fit on your CD, especially with 18 songs. Lemmee know and I can help further.

DVDSP 4 only plays movie up to first chapter

When "I select play movie" it will only play the first chapter. I have check many times and the asset is the entire movie. I've deleted the movie re-added it and reset the chapter markers- still only plays to the first chapter. Is something corrupt possibly...
thanks much,
jay

Why do you have Chapter End Jumps? There's rarely a need for it. Take those out! If you need to play individual chapters use the story function instead.
It could be a corrupt stream...hard to say. What was your bitrates? Often folks crank up the bitrates on the encodes thinking more is better. DVD has a strict ceiling (9.8 mb/s) even short spikes above this will cause players to choke. Also audio can be a major issue. Always use AC3 audio with its lower bitrate. Could be the media as well.
Do some tests. Use a bitrate for DVD calculator to determine what your best bitrate should be based on the length of the program. This should always be the first step in any DVD project! Also use AC3 audio as well and another batch of GOOD media.

I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

Menu only recognizes the first chapter - others default to it...

Hello all,
I am using the wedding-looking theme where boxes that hold images slide in from the right and simulated snow/flakes fall. Project is from FCE and pressing any chapter on either menu plays the movie from the firs chapter not where it should play from. It only recognizes the first chapter not the others.
I have never seen this one before - a new feature of iDVD
Any suggestions ?
thanks,
Al

+a new feature of iDVD+
No, but it is a bug. If you make ANY edits to your movie, no matter how small, after putting it into your iDVD project, iDVD will not play the chapters properly. You cannot determine this beforehand. iDVD appears to recognize that you have made edits and will give you a message that 'assets have changed' and will ask if yo want to update. Of course, you opt for that, and all appears fine until you either preview the movie in iDVD or burn it to a disk and see that the chapters do not play correctly.
The usual problem is just what you describe: the chapter(scene) selections default to the same one, usually the one closest to your edit, but not always. This problem occurs in a movie with chapters; I think it is not a problem in a movie without chapters. Additionally, I have made an edit in one of the last clips of my movie, and that has been made without the chapter problem.
There is no 'fix' for this problem/bug. You must start over and create a new iDVD project. Then, be certain that your movie is completely edited. Once you put it in iDVD, do NOT make any changes to it at all. It should burn fine this time.
Please post back if this explanation does not address your problem.

No "Play All or Scene Selection" available. Sound also missing.

Last week I burned several DVD's successfully. I was prompted that there was an update to 7.0.4 available, so I updated. Ever since then, I have been unsuccessful at adding a "Scene Selection" or hearing the Revolution music that usually plays while you make your selection. Nothing else had changed.
I went back to look at previous update you could download that fixed the "scene" issue, but when I try to download it, it says "unnecessary". When I try to download any of the previous IDVD updates, it simply won't. It says IDVD is not in the Applications file. When I look in the Applications file, I see it is indeed there.
Is there any way to UNINSTALL a previous download, and reload? It was working fine before. Now I can't get it to do anything right. This has been driving me nuts for days now.
Thanks for any help and happy thoughts you can give me.
