Still image disappears from menu background on burning to DVD

I’ve just completed a project in Adobe Premiere Elements 9 in which I’ve personalized the menu background with a still image (trying two different disc menu templates - sport swimming and one under memories - can't remember the name of that one). With both these templates the still image shows up perfectly on my computer screen while I'm in the project but when I burn the project to DVD the still image doesn't appear on playback of the DVD. I have done other projects in PE9 with no problems with still images in existing disc menu templates - travel ship template and the template that comes as standard with PE9 before adding additional templates). I would prefer not to use either of these templates for my current project.
I see previous treads have commented on changing the size of the image...this doesn't seem to make a difference for me and the other suggestion is to somehow change the name of the file for the templates to get around this problem but i'm not understanding this. I still don't understand why some templates work and others don't. Does anyone have a simple to understand solution to this?
Or does anyone have a list of the disc menu templates that work with personalizing?
thanks heaps.

There does seem to be a bug that affects some menu templates.
Try the Generic template under the General tab.
There are also a number of menu templates available at Premiere Elements support site http://Muvipix.com that will work with no problem and can be easily customized.

Selected images disappearing from compiled CHM

I've got a project that I'm trying to get compiled into a CHM file from RoboHTML 8. Everything seems to have gone fine, except that four of the images I added to the project prior to compilation don't show up in the CHM. They seem to be fine when viewed from RoboHelp, they're where they're supposed to be, and the source code of the compiled CHM refrences them correctly. And yet... they don't actually show up! I have tried renaming them, and reimporting them into the project, but these tricks didn't work. I'm hoping someone out there has some suggestions!

I've had this happen a few times.
I deleted the image from the topic and then inserted it again from the
RoboHelp project files (from the "Images in Project Folders" section on
the left side - not from the open folder icon).
This solved the problem for me; hope it helps you as well.

Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

"Share" word has disappeared from menu bar - can't burn DVD

I know I burned a DVD in the distant past by clicking on "Share - burn DVD" in the menu bar but the word "Share" seems to have disappeared from my menu bar. I upgraded from iPhoto 5 to 6 (I think). What happened to the "Share" word and how do I get it back? If I reinstall from my original discs, won't I get the iPhoto 5 version?? Will my recent photos disappear?? Thanks for any help.

When you're in iPhoto go to the iPhoto menu in the upper left hand corner of the menu bar and select About iPhoto. That will give you the version of iPhoto you have.
If you tried to run an iPhoto 6 updater on iPHoto 5 that may be the reason you're having trouble with iPhoto. Check the version and post back.
If you have iPhoto 6 then go to the View->Show in Tool Bar menu option and see if what you want is checked or unchecked. Those items will show up in the bottom tool bar.
Do you Twango?

Recordsets disappear from menu when adding mysql_query ("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); below the connection in php

I hope someone can help with this. I'm trying to create a
dynamic site using dreamweaver CS3, with php5 and mysql5 in the
background but I'm having difficulty with recordsets disappearing
from the server behaviour menu when tweaking the code to allow set
characters or set names for utf8.
For a while, I've been having a problem getting my
dynamically generated master list pages (eg lists of jobs) to
display international characters like an accented french e (and
other languages) and for these to display correctly when viewed in
phpmyadmin also. So, I've placed headers at the top of the page for
utf8 and created the content metatag for utf8 in the page code.
Where needed I've added ENT_QUOTES utf etc for htmlentities and
added accept-charset utf-8 in the <form> action area.
(one thing I haven't done in the form action area is add
<enctype="multipart/form-data">, but I'm not sure if this
will make any difference)
In the backend, the innoDB database is collated and built
using utf8_unicode_ci. I'm on a shared host -so can't directly
access php.ini or adjust the connection settings through
phpmyadmin. But I can write .htaccess files (currently with the
defaultcharset set to utf8 also).
At this point - all list pages display the correct characters
when retrieved from the database - indicating that the headers are
working. But - in phpmyadmin the letters are garbled, and garbled
on return on update forms (content management). I solved this by
adding the &#xxxx; equivalents in insert and update forms to
display the text correctly on the list pages - but again it's not
convenient to see all of this in phpmyadmin, as I'd like to be able
to read it there as it should be, and to dispense with the need to
add &#xxxx references on the insert and update forms.
So...a bit of searching, and I read that in order for the
international characters to display in phpmyadmin correctly, I
needed to amend my php page code so that for all instances where I
see the connection to the database, before the SELECT, INSERT and
DELETE queries, I need to add either mysql_set_charset('utf8',
$connection) or use three lines of code referencing mysql_query SET
NAMES, SET CHARACTER SET and SET COLLATION_CONNECTION for utf8.
I did that, and it removed all of my recordsets in the
sidebar menu! Not too good. I'm left with a task of rebuilding
pages now.
So I placed the mysql_set_charset line in the connection.php
file in the DW Connections folder below the connection there
instead. [I didn't precede the mysql etc line with a $ sign - I
wonder if that's the issue?]
With this change I could use the Insert forms to add the
international characters directly into the database and see through
phpmyadmin that all was hunky dory. But then the problems came with
first loads of the master list page.
So, I can get international characters into the database now
(which is a step in the right direction for me), using an insert
form on the website, but I still can't get the international
characters to display on the returned page on first loading eg on a
list of jobs. Note that the detail pages display fine when clicking
the master links, and when I return from the detail page back to
the master list - the characters are ok. They just don't seem to
display when the master page loads for the first time which is
really perplexing me.
I suspect that I need to add the mysql_set_charset line below
the $connection and before the selects, inserts etc at all
instances on the webpage, but this just removes the recordset from
the menu, so this doesn't seem to be a good option.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as I'm been stuck
on this for ages. It may be something simple like adding $ in front
of the mysql_query, but then again maybe not.
I've tried other forums - but people seem to be content with
viewing but not offering assistance. I don't believe that what I'm
doing here hasn't been done before....all I want is for my pages to
display international characters and for these to display correctly
in phpmyadmin so that when I insert, update and delete records
using webforms I don't have to resort to using &#xxx inserts.
Help please!

Usually you only need to send a SET NAMES 'utf8' right after
the
connection to the DB has been established. That way all data
that is
transferred between the DB and your script will be handled as
UTF-8.

I've never used mysql_set_charset().
Here in my applications it always works like this:
* the default charset in my InnoDB tables is ISO-8859-1, I
only use
UTF-8 in the columns that really need it (text data, but not
INT or
DATE columns)
* SET NAMES 'utf8' at the beginning
* all files (HTML and PHP) are encoded as UTF-8 without BOM
* all pages delivered as UTF-8 (my pages are
script-generated, so I use
an appropriate header() call to define the content-type and
encoding)
That's it. Oh, and I don't use phpMyAdmin ...

In the first part of your posting it sounded as if it worked
almost
correctly, before you tried to fix the broken phpMyAdmin
appearance.
Is that correct?

They did display correctly first, didn't they? So it seems
that you
broke your script just in order to fix some PMA problem.
Revert that.
Make your script work for normal input/output from/to a
website first
and don't worry about PMA for now.
What do you need PMA for BTW? It may have many other issues
as well and
should only be used if really necessary or if you're not
familiar with
the command line interface. The only thing that we are using
it is to
get a dump from a remote DB, where I don't have shell access
to call
mysqldump directly (yes, I could also write a little PHP
script for
that, it's already somewhere on my TODO). But here on my
local system I
always use the MySQL command prompt if I have to directly
work on some
tables or to import the dump from remote.
Anyway, if you need PMA, your might try their group or forum.
I'm sure
there's an FAQ as well. Maybe it's just a configuration
issue.

The bug here is PMA itself. ;-)

Putting a still image in a menu frame

Hello,
I am making a DVD menu using a standard template. There is a frame in the template to take a still image. When I put an image in this frame only part of the original still is shown. I have tried resizing the image but to no effect.
Can anyone advise how I can get the whole image, or at least the part I want shown, in the frame?
Thank you
Jim

Are you saying that you're replacing an entire background for a template or that this is a template with a drop zone (Place Video Here placeholder)?
Most drop zone templates have an area you should be able to resize your photo to fit. Other templates may have foreground graphics that can get in the way and partially obscure the background.
Which are you seeing?

Quality of still images imported from i-Photo

I've recently got a new Mac, with updated version of i-Movie. Struggling to come to terms with it, but one major problem is quality of still images.
Whatever I do, they look rubbish in i-Movie. I've tried all sorts of settings, Ken Burns etc, still nowhere near the crystal images on the previous version of i-Movie.
I've read that we're not supposed to look at quality in i-Movie, but only on burning, but this is a nuisance, and anyhow when I made a Quicktime movie it was no better.
Can anyone help? And why, when something is supposed to be better, is it actually worse?
Thanks.

You might try more closely matching the screen resolution of iMovie, which unless you are going widescreen is 720x540... There is not much sense in putting in more dpi than the video format can handle. You can get some distortion when it compresses the images.
I do find that they never look as good in iMovie on my TV as they did on the computer however. Ken Burns or whatever we try.
Also, iMovie will stretch smaller than 720x540 images to fit the dimension of the screen, which makes those look truly awful. We usually put those on a black background (in Photoshop) so that they stay at the smaller size.

Problem with images disappearing from project

I have inserted a number of images into my Robohelp 9 project topics using the Insert >> Image function. Typically the images were stored on my hard drive on my pc, but some I pulled from a shared network drive that were prepared by other people. They seemed to load into the project OK. I had them grouped in a about 5 different robohelp folders to keep them organized so after I would insert, complete my topic and save. I would move the images to their respective folder. This was fine for a while, I had no problems generating printed .pdf documentation, making changes to my topics, etc. But now the images keep disappearing from the Robohelp folder structure and the printed documentation. I can see the images when I open up and view the topics. I can also see them when I look out onto the drive on the computer. However, they do not show up in the Robohelp Project Manager and are not included in my printed output. I keep re-inserting them, but they continue to disappear.

Hi there
Certainly it won't hurt anything to add the images to baggage files, but I'd be shocked to find that solves the problem.
If an image has been used in RoboHelp, it should be present in the project. End of story. The fact they seem to be disappearing seems to suggest that maybe something has gone awry with folder naming or image naming or the project in general.
So what version and flavor of RoboHelp are you using?
RoboHelp 10, RoboHelp 9, RoboHelp 8, etc.
RoboHelp HTML, RoboHelp for Word
Cheers... Rick

Still images turn to black backgrounds in the exported movie

I am still using Premiere 2.0. I produced a ca. 25 min project with still images at the beginning and at the end and short videoclips in between. Still images are only ca. 40-50 kB large. When working on it I occasionally got a few problems (e.g. an audio transition across two clips was making Premiere hanging up) but I could easily get around them and successfully preview the project and export it to a folder and directly to a DVD. However, when viewing the movie on TV I found out that almost all (BUT NOT ALL!) the still images had turned into black backgrounds. I have exported the movie as MPEG, more still images were fine but not all of them. I have tried to drastically reduce the number of still images (max 5) but nome of them were fine. I do not have any error message and this problem is driving me crazy! Does anyone have a brilliant idea?
Last year I bought the new version of Premiere (3.0 I believe, surely not 7.0) but I stopped using it after one week because there was no way to successfully export the project I was working on. I made several videos, always got problems but so far I always found a solution on Premiere forum. Hope this time too!
Many thanks for the attention

Try sizing your photos to 1000x750 pixels in size.
Also, right-click on each photo on the timeline and select Field Options and check the Flicker Removal box.
These will give you the best quality.
I am also concerned, however, that you are having technical problems and, especially, that you can not use a newer version of the program.
I'd recommend you install the latest version of Quicktime and the newest RealTek drivers, as we recommend in our FAQ.

Also, using my recommended computer maintenance will remove temp files on your computer and make it run like new.

Exporting video results in still image with original sound background

I've tried several times to export my home movie (MOV) into smaller formats using the export function. It worked fine on QT 6 but now I'm on version 7 and it's not working. The final product is a still image of the first frame and the original recording. I've tried exporting to various formats as well with the same result. Any help out there? Thanks!!!

Would it matter if the very first file from the camera was an AVI file? I first had QT convert that file to an MOV file which plays just fine.
As long as the MOV file plays in QT, it shouldn't matter at all. In fact, placing it in a known "space" should indicate it is convertible to other target formats even if only on your system configuration.

Confirmation....still image dimensions from 16:9 720x480

Hi
I just exported a frame from a 720x480 16:9 DV NTSC video clip. I tried doing it from Premiere and it would only give me a bmp choice. I then did it from Streamclip, which gave me TIF, JPG and BMP choices but it did not really matter, because TIF is only 8 bit, just like the BMP in premiere...
The dimensions of the still image ( frame ) are (according to ps) 853 x 480 .
Is that correct for all frames exported from 720x480 16:9 DV NTSC videos ?
Reason I ask, is I want to create images that match ( size wise ) so I can make a slide show on a DVD eventually...
Thanks...
Rod
ps funny, I thought the 720 dimension would be favored and the height would be "squeezed" to something smaller than 480...for the 16:9 ratio.

Hi
Ah Ha ! Geez...I KNOW that the pixels are not square in NTSC, and ARE square in bitmaps, but I didn't even THINK about that last night when I was dealing with this...How can I be so dumb sometimes ?? Geez....
Thanks Harm.
If you could elaborate a little....I'm not very swift with math and ratios.
I just got out the calculator....and looked at GSpot...with a 720x480 widescreen AVI opened...
It is saying, par 1.185 (32:27)...for this particular AVI file that I made exported from Premiere last night...
Now, if I multiply 720 x 1.185 I get 853 !!! How cool is THAT....so I guess that's how I come up with the dimension of a bitmap when I do this in future...
And when I multiply 720 x .2121 (rather than 1.2121) I get 152.7...close enough !....same as 853...
How come there's two different ways of doing that ??
But my numbers are weird for 1.1212..... what am I doing wrong ??
Should there be one way to go about doing this math stuff ???
Anyhow, you've already answered my question and thanks a lot.... square pixels ! ..didn't even think of that...
