Starting up a program from a DVD menu

Is it possible to author a DVD that has a menu button that will start up a program on your hard drive?

eDVD4 will allow you to do this.

  • Can I run another Small Basic program from a simple menu in another Small Basic program, (It does not need to return!)

    Hi
    Is there a way of calling another program from within a small basic program ?
    I dont mean run within it and then continue where it left off.
    I simply ideally I ideally want to create one program that only contains menu options and depending on the user choice, then to go off and run another program.
    If this is not possible..maybe I am getting over cautious, but does any one know the program size limit, if I need to put all teh features in one program ?
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    You would need an extension that can start an external exe (may be any exe includng another pre-compiled Small Basic program, or even the SmallBasicComplier to compile source and then run it), such as LDProcess.Start in my extension.  There are also
    other extensions with this or similar commands.

  • Turning Off An Audio Track From Finished DVD Menu

    Hi, Folks. I asked this question a couple of years ago, perhaps it has been included in recent upgrades.
    I use Premiere Elements 11, happily, to make family activity videos. I would like to have a menu option on the finished DVD to turn on or off the narration track. I see other uses, for example, the music or background noise could be optioned for viewer preference. If PE will not do this, is there a comparably priced alternative? Or, could I make the video in PE and author in another program? I imagine a high end program would include this feature, but there is no income in this for me, so I'd rather spend money doing things that provide footage to make movies of instead of software purchase.
    Thanks in advance.

    Nothing has change with regard to Premiere Elements (any version) and obtaining from it a DVD-VIDEO on DVD that gives the viewer the option to listen to it with or without narration that was included in the project. You would do best to do a 2 disc production for this - one with and one without narration.
    The idea to have both versions on one Timeline is possible (and we can give you detail how to on that for an appropriate Adobe menu design), but it is space consuming especially if you are dealing with a large project. Are you prepared to go from DVD disc spec'd at 4.7 GB/120 minutes (in reality 4.3 GB) to DVD disc spec'd at 8.5 GB/120 minutes (in reality 7.95 GB) to accommodate this approach?
    As for alternative video editors and their disc menu options, I am not aware of one that could do what you seek.
    Please let us know if we can be of assistance with a step by step on setting up Adobe disc menus (as is) or customized to deal with the two versions on one Timeline idea.
    Thank you.

  • Start a java program from an FMB then read and write some variables

    Hello,
    I am trying to see whether the following setup works:
    item A, B, D and Button Z are on a Forms Canvas.
    User clicks on Button Z. This will launch a java program (Myprog class).
    Myprog main will read values in item A and B, run some calculation and then will return it back to our forms module and then will be displayed in item D.
    I have read about PL/SQL wrapper but the way I am looking at my setup is that my Forms module will be just the GUI interface.
    Any ideas ?

    main thing: a JAVA class that will take some inputs and will output some results and messages.
    Prob: I do not want to use swing or any other GUI builder to make a nice GUI for my JAVA class.
    What I want: I know how to use Forms. As such, I just want to put together a quick interface (mymodule.fmb) that when executed will allow the user to click on a button to start the java process and then see the results and error messages.
    Why I don't want to go through SWING: my main prob is to get the java class executed ( which is fine right now thru command line) by other users thru a GUI interface. I do not have time to go thru SWING.
    From the paper I mentioned, I think the PJC is the way to go. Can you please confirm ?
    Thanks.

  • Starting a external program from java

    hi iam trying to start MySQL server from java, the command in dos is as follows C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u username -p ,then the user hits return and the user is prompted to enter a password. i have got as far as entering the the C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u username -p but dont know how get the prompt back to the java program i would be greatfull if anyone could tell me where iam not doing,heres my code so far
    try{
    Runtime r=null;
    r=r.getRuntime();
    Process p=r.exec("C:/mysql/bin/mysql -u mark_r -p");
    p.waitFor();}
    catch(Exception ex){System.out.print("Error");}}

    You should try using the getOutputStream() and getInputStream() methods for the Process object. Each returns either an inputStream or OutputStream object.
    You should be careful if the mySQL password is added to the command since anyone doing a 'ps' on the machine could see the password.

  • Start up a program from Java

    Hi,
    How could I start an executable from within my Java application?
    Something like:
    public void start_converter(String toFormat){
    String newFormat = toFormat;
    if newFormat.equalsIgnoreCase("MIF"){
    //call the MapInfo program
    System.startup("MapBasic/convertToMIF.mbx"); // .startup is just a dumb guess. Are there any possibilities to do this in some way?
    Thanks,
    Anders

    take a look at Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in the API

  • Removing "Open With [Program]" from Right-Click menu

    I was looking around for Applications that could play .avi files and I found Perian  so decided to install it. After installing it I quickly found that it didn't work with all of my .avi files and after some further reading realized that Perian is no longer supported and apparently does not work with QT 10. I decided to uninstall it and use VLC player instead. After uninstalling Perian and removing it from the "System Properties" it looks like it's still showing up in the right-click menu for .avi files.
    My question is how do I remove this from being an option whenever I right-click an .avi file? Perian is no longer installed and I don't want to see it as an option.
    Thanks in advance

    This is probably because all the associated files have not been removed and it is still in the LaunchServices cache. To be sure you remove all associated files may require re-installing the app and using AppCleaner  to trash it and it's supporting files.
    Then, you may also need to clear LaunchServices caches
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the prompt to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • Is there a way to start a JAVA program from the dock?

    Hello,
    I wrote some JAVA applications and I would like to put them in -
    - and start them from - the dock.
    These applications were built into .jar files.
    I can start them from Finder which tells me that there is some .jar starter utility.
    ;JOOP!

    The Dock is for Applications, Documents, and Folders (which can take several forms). There are some other odd animals that can stay in the Dock, but they were never truly implemented (recent items is one). If you "wrap" the .jar file inside some package that behaves as an application, you can have it stay in the Dock just as any other Application.
    A .jar file is not an application, it's a java archive. It is a collection of classes, metadata, etc. which the Java runtime interprets and executes. The Application which runs it shows up in the Dock as the coffee cup, but that is just the runtime engine, not the .jar.
    The .jar is like any other document, such as a a word processing document. Just like any document, it can be double-clicked and the handling application will be called to open it. Double-clicking that word processing document causes the word processing application to open the document and interpret its contents. Double-clicking the .jar file causes the java runtime engine to open the .jar file and interpret its contents. Instead of presenting it as paragraphs of text, it displays it as the application it represents.

  • Remove double items (programs) from Open With menu??

    Hello;
    Since some disk perturbances and hooking up an external HD for backup there is one notorious issue in my Finder (Panther 10.3.9): All the applications are listed twice, overstuffing the right-click menu with double Safaris, double Previews and so on.
    How do I get rid of this stuff? My Contextual Menu items' removal makes no difference (I have just two), as well as trashing the Finder preferences. Do I have any influence on how this list is being built?
    I've searched Apple tech articles and this forum, to no avail. Somebody knows the solution? This is very annoying...
    PowerBook G4 Alu 1.25GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Try these:
    1) Repair permissions using Disk Utility (Applications >> Utilities)
    2) Repair Disk (Bootup from OS X Install Disk 1)
    3) Clean System and User caches
    4) Optimize the System
    5) Update "whatis Mac OS X" database
    Everything here except Repairing the Disk can be done with the freeware utility "OnyX" (www.titanium.free.fr). In OnyX, Tasks 1, 4, and 5 and be found in the "Maintenance" tab. Task 3 is found in the "Cleaning" tab. More in-depth info about these tasks can be found at my System Maintenance and General Troubleshooting guides:

  • Starting/loading a program from a cd

    after i insert a cd the cd pops up on the screen. then click on it and it goes to the finder and shows the cd and all sorts of files and programs on it if i click on one of them it says "there is no default application specified to open the document "name of document".

    I do not believe that there was ever a Microsoft Office 2000 for Macintosh. Neither Office 1998 nor Office 2001 works under OS X. You have to use Office v.X or Office 2004 under OS X. Office 2004 does not cost $500. Here is a deal for $200 after rebate:

  • Starting Facetime (MacBook Air) from Dock menu causes program error.

    When opening Facetime from the Dock menu, I get an error message. Something like: "there was a problem, please close the program". The only option is to close it, btw, and it does not help. But when I start the program from the launchpad menu, it works just fine. How can I make the Facetime icon in the Dock menu work?

    Exactly the same problem ! just cant launch Facetime from the dock. From Finder or launchpad works fine.

  • Installing a program from DVD

    Autorun.ini takes Numbers to open???? Why, how can I change this to install a program from a DVD??

    Hi both,
    thanks for the reaction. I intend to install the software from Devolo dLAN connector which works over the power cable lines.
    On the installation CD it is a autorun.exe file which should run automaticly. It doesnt.
    If I double click on it, it tries to open with "Numbers". And of course this is a wrong linked program to run.
    Right mouse button, choose program to open shows me other programs wich I could link to open. Which one shall I choose to run a .exe file?
    Sorry for this, I am a PC user since 20 years. The MAC world is different and new for me. How can I make a print screen with the Mac to show you what I mean?
    Thanks for your help.
