Simulation versus reality / skipping tracks / moving slideshow - help!

Hello all,
We've just switched to dvd studio pro 3.0.2, and are struggling to achieve the same results as in our ancient version 1.5. I hope someone can help!
The dvd we want to create is one that:
- starts playing automatically without action from viewer and without a (visible) main menu
- contains 6 to 10 short (30 second - 1 minute) films that are played in a fixed order
This I have been able to create using separate tracks, and setting the first track as 'first play' for the dvd. However, I want the viewer to have the option to skip to the next short film.
In simulation mode, this works perfectly - selecting the forward button will take the viewer to the next short clip. However, it turns out that when I burn the dvd, there is no possibility to skip forward (or backward) between clips.
In 1.5, I used to use the slideshow option to avoid this problem. Unfortunately, slideshows in 3.0.2 can contain only still images.
I have a feeling I should be using chapters, but don't know how. Also, I don't understand why something should work in simulation mode, but not on a burned disk.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Lianne.

Bring all the movies onto one track, place markers between them, and create a story (not needed to do so, but sometimes I find it has more control that is easier to implement). Then set the end jump of the track (with alll the clips on it) or the story (if you want to use that) to the menu

My Ipod Keeps Skipping tracks!! HELP!

my ipod keeps skippping songs when im playing one of my playlists!. it only plays any recently added songs and i have resest it but it doesnt do anything. Is it because i often charge it through the computer????...HELP!!....

I, too, amd having the same problem! When I have my 20GB iPod in "Shuffle Songs" mode and I hit the "next song" button, it will sometimes skip the next song, or the next two songs, or even skip 5 songs before settling on one to play -- this is getting to be really frustrating!!!

DAMAGED LIBRARY, SKIPPING TRACKS, HELP PLEASE!

I'm really hoping to get some help here, because I'm super bummed out about this. The other day Itunes on my laptop started skipping during one of the tracks that was playing. I didn't know what was going on, so I figured maybe it was my computer so I did a "disk clean up" and then defragmented my harddrive with Auslogic. Re-started my laptop, then openned up Itunes.
I got the message "Importing library" and after taking forever I got an error message saying something like, "Library damaged..." and it changed the file to "damaged". Once Itunes finally openned up, it said something about "gapless information" (sorry I don't remember the EXACT messages) and it ran through all of the tracks I had in Itunes. NOW I have a ton of problems with Itunes on my laptop:
*almost all the tracks now skip, it seems real hit or miss, the albums I purchased through the Itunes Store, as well as albums that I got from cds are all incredibly jacked up for the most part
*other tracks that I downloaded outside of Itunes are also skipping
*all of the TV shows that I purchased through Itunes are all showing that I never watched them (you know how they have that little bullet next to them if its a new file you haven't watched) even though I've seen all of them, plus a "TV Shows" playlist was created that I never made
*all of the podcasts I had subscribed to are all gone, instead a "Podcast" playlist was created where all the podcasts I have have all been moved to
*a number of the standard default playlists are all back, even though I had deleted them a long time ago to cut down on the number of playlists I had on my iPod
*now Itunes is showing "Playcount" and "Last Time Played" even though I had previously set up Itunes NOT to show them
Whew. That's about all I can think of. I've tried listening to some of the music I had downloaded outside of Itunes through Windows Media Player, and it skips there too. So I don't know if the problem is with Itunes or if my entire library is just completely jacked and unrecoverable.
I should say that after experiencing these problems with Itunes I never synced my Ipod back to my computer, so everything is still set up on my Ipod and plays perfectly, just like how I had it. If I had to could I upload my library from my Ipod back to Itunes so I could have all my music again?
Please help me. I literally listen to music pretty much all throughout the waking day. Either on my computer or on my Ipod while driving, working out, or at work. I really, really don't want to have to accept that I've lost my entire library after spending hundreds of dollars with the Itunes Store and spending thousands of hours downloading, searching, catalouging, all that. I would really, really appreciate the help.

Someone please help me out here. I've tried un-installing and reinstalling Itunes and the exact same symptoms were still there. So far I haven't synced my Ipod to my computer in over a week because I want to keep my music, but also this means that I'm not getting anymore podcasts or anything, no new music at all to my Ipod, plus I can't listen to music at home anymore because it skips. Someone please help me.

IOS 7 is preventing my ford car sync working. The skip track buttons no longer work. Any help.

iOS 7 problems with ford sync. Skip track button no longer works.

Sorry, I used the wrong term in my original post. I don't mean to say "mute" my phone, but meant lower the volume!
Should have read: "In Smart Actions, if I want to lower the notification volume on my phone to 13% when I'm in a meeting it only adjusts the volume for calls - not text or email notifications! What the heck is the point of adjusting your phone volume if it doesn't affect all the notifications!?"

IOS 7.1 device disconnects when skipping track

I use an adapter (iSimple ISGM575) that integrates into my factory radio, effectively turning it into a docking station for an 'iDevice'. I have used it with an iPod Nano 3rd Gen, and iPhone 3G, and an iPhone 4 over the years I have owned my vehicle. I recently replaced my iPhone 4 with a 5s and decided I would demote my iPhone 4 to the equivalent of an iPod Touch rather than trade it or sell it since it was a 32GB model.
Before I moved to the iPhone 5s, I had updated the iOS to 7.x.x (not 7.1) months ago. The iPhone 4 worked fine as my new audio player and I was mostly pleased other than the already experienced minor OS lag since I updated from iOS 6.x to 7 and the scrapping of folio view (ugh). So I was pleased to hear that iOS 7.1 specifically addressed and improved the performance of the OS on the iPhone 4 platform. Please bring back folio view Apple!
Also, I had kept my device updated with all the iOS versions before I moved on to the iPhone 5, and whenever I used it, such as when using it as my navigation aid or playing Podcasts, it always worked.
Well, since doing the 7.1.0 update, whenever I advance a track using my car's 'iPhone dock', the device disconnects briefly, connects, disconnects briefly, and connects again. The next track is 3 - 5 seconds already started when audio resumes. Highly annoying! It seems that the track is advanced as soon as I have commanded it but the device is disconnecting from my dock system so I get back to the music as explained, 3 - 5 seconds into the new track.
I'd rather not have to go through the technical pain of trying to downgrade back to 7.0.4. Is this a bug or by design?

If the device is unlocked it does not seem to do this. I'd rather not leave it unlocked and an easy target for theft. I tried turning on 'Car Play' in restrictions and that seemed to help for a little while, but then it started up with the problem after a few skipped tracks. Now about every 5th time I skip a track, it happens normally, but most of the time I get the multi-disconnect issue.

IPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second!

My iPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second. The only thing that stops it is if you press pause but once you press play off it goes again. This means noi music is able to be played because it's always skipping. The menu button works as does the backlight if you hold the menu button down. The enter button works and the touch pad navigation also works. Both skip buttons have no effect on the unstoppable skipping. Can anybody help or at least verify the problem with other users of simular problems and if they were able to fix them simply, without having to go to an Apple dealer (it's out of warrenty i think)Any help would be appreciated.

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 Music app - volume slider slides to maximum when skipping tracks.

Hi all,
Wonder whether any other customers getting this?
iPhone 5 UK iOS 7.0.2 music app - when skipping tracks (or even selecting tracks) volume slider slides to maximum volume by itself intermittently. I have noticed with EU Volume Limit 'ON' in music settings or Volume limiting 'on' this behaviour occurs. I've turned off volume limiting and now it appears to work normally.
I did restore as new iPhone via iTunes at iOS 7.0 and had this behaviour followed by update to iOS 7.0.2 via iTunes and same problem.
I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks all!

Yep - deleting anything that's not purchased on itunes when I try to play it.
This is terrible, and especially a pain when they're things like limited edition albums where tracks are only available direct, so going for iTunes match is not gonna help.
Only other variable to consider is that I installed the "Groove" app to try out a few weeks ago, and played music with it twice. Highly doubt this is related, however non-iTunes purchased tmusic tracks also show up there and now *crash the phone* when I try to play them so it's something system-wide.

My nano won't skip tracks forward anymore?

Recently my iPod has stopped letting me skip tracks forward but the volume works and all other buttons, is there any thing that I can do to fix this?

Hi whit,
It would be easier to deal with this problem in terms of one iPod or the other. I suggest working with your nano until you get it working, and then addressing any issues that develop with the other.
So, were you ever able to use iPod Updater with the nano? That would be your first step, to try to get the nano back to factory settings so you can start again.

Hope this helps.

Ipod app smartplaylist skips tracks or just stops

On my iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) the iPod app is acting weird: I create a smartplaylist in iTunes (10.2.2 - most recent on Windows), sync and play on my phone.
Either the app skips tracks (maybe 7out of 20) or it simply stops playing ("goes down", abends)

ITunes pausing, playing, skipping tracks without any input.

About an hour ago, my iTunes began to pause, play and skip tracks without me doing anything at all. I made sure that i wasnt pressing ANY buttons and i even quit the app altogether. This did not help as it just reopened seconds later and began playing music again. How can i stop this from happening?

I just started having this very same problem. iTunes (9.1) will stop and start on its own. Sometimes I am listening to music while in another app, like in a browser or word processor, and it will pause itself every few minutes. It will be fine for a while, then it will pause, I start it again, and it pauses again and again. Other times it will just randomly start playing if was left paused.
The freakiest is when the app starts up by it self. I watched it Start up on its own 3 times in one hour. I think this is why my computer once woke up from sleep mode in the middle of the night.
It is like there is a ghost playing with my computer, or iTunes is possessed. I did several virus scans, and their was nothing. I also Ran Tech tool. Next I will work with Disk Utility, see if that finds anything.
The only thing that occurred about the same time was I started getting more spam in the email account that goes to my mac mail. These may be unrelated, but it is the only noticeable thing that has occurred around the same time.
This feels like some sort of Malware, Zombie computer situation, but I can't find much about Mac Malware evidence out there.

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

With iOS 6, how do I skip tracks instead of fast forward?

I run with my iPhone 4. I keep it in the "off" mode to save the battery while listening to music. I routinely double tap the home button to get the quick controls up so I can quickly skip tracks instead of typing in the acess code (hard to do when you are runnning). My issue is that with iOS 6, the skip track buttons have become jump forward 15 seconds buttons. ***?? How do I change this back to skip the entire track?

Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

Adding text to a track or slideshow

Is it possible to add text to a track or slideshow in DVDSP2.....I forgot to add a name super in FCP.

Don't think you can add text to a slideshow, unless you convert it to a track.
Speaking of tracks, the only thing you can do is add a subtitle (and force that stream on). Depending on how fancy you need to get (background, multiple colors, etc) you might need to make it an overlay image (created in something like Photoshop) as opposed to a basic subtitle typed into DVDSP's Subtitle Editor.
