Stops after 99th picture on DVD player

I am trying to burn a slideshow and it will play fine on my computer, but everytime I put it in a DVD player, the show stops after the 99th picture. I don't think it has anything to do with the audio, because it is right in the middle of a song. What can I do?

Not all consumer DVD Players do well with slideshows that exceed 99 photos. Here's why:

iDVD6 treats a photo as a chapter and the DVD standard only allows up to 99 chapters....hence only 99 photos in many set top DVD Players. With iDVD6 you can use more than 99 photos but there is no guarantee that they will play as expected in all DVD players as many set top DVD players will choke trying to go past 99 chapters.
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

  • DVD players stop after 99 pictures

    Both the iDVD and Toast 8 software apparently group pictures into groups of 99 and call it a 'slideshow'. When the DVD exceeds 99 pics, the software creates a 'second slide show'. When some DVD players come to the end of slide show, they stop and then keep going (the DVD player built into the computer does this) but some DVD players do not recognize the second show and just stop - when you try to restart, the player starts back at the beginning of the DVD. I am using Verbatim R-DVD discs recorded at 1x speed on the disc utility (not using iDVD to make the disc). Does anyone know how to seamlessly move from one 99 picture slideshow to the next and to the next? This has been a frustrating problem.

    The official DVD standard allows for 99 chapter in a movie. When you create a slideshow, you are actually creating a movie with each photo being a chapter. While the standard is 99 chapters, SOME DVD players will play more than 99 some will not. iDVD used to only allow 99 photos in a slide show but has since got rid of that restriction, but the official DVD standard is still 99 chapters.
    Therefore, when you do create a slideshow with more than 99 photos (chapters) there is no guarantee that all DVD players will be able to deal with that.
    I am not aware of a way to "link" one movie into another (again with a Slideshow simply being a movie) to have a DVD player know to jump from one to another.

  • HT2499 My DVD player has stopped taking discs and the DVD player no longer recognizes the drive.  I bought an external player.  How do I switch the DVD player from the internal drive to the external?

    My DVD Player in my MabBook Pro, System 10.8.2, has stopped accepting discs and is no longer recognized by the DVD driver.  I purchased an external Blue-ray Disc player/writer.  It is a Samsung.  I downloaded their driver so the drive shows up on my desktop.  But how do I switch the DVD player over from my internal to my external drive?

    In addition to RRFS's advice, please post in the correct forum. This forum is for iMac's, you mentioned you have a MacBook Pro. They're similar but still pretty different hardware.

  • No picture in DVD Player

    Hi!
    I wanted to ask whether any of you knows this issue or has a solution to it:
    When I watch a DVD in Leopards DVD Player in Fullscreen and switch to window view it increasingly often happens that there is no video anymore. Audio works fine but you wont see anything at all. Even if you get back to the Menu, you only see the image of your "cursor".
    Relauching the app does not solve the issue, only restarting Leopard fixes it.
    I'm watching DVDs with region code 2 (Europe) if that's helpful.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi
    i also have the problem with my Macbook Pro (bought in january) that i dont have a picture when playing DVDs, i only see the menu markers on a black screen and hear the sound. But this is not always the case. It may be that one day a DVD plays fine, and the next day it is not working, or the other way around. I have also been updating the system with the "software update" function, but the this didnt help. I use leopard in version 10.5.1.
    Can someone help, please?
    best regards,
    daniel

  • Pixelized picture in DVD player

    my DVD player shows the picture, but it has fairly large and random pixelations when i try to watch.  What is wrong with it? if you need i can email you a screen shot of it.

    My guesses are either a dirty/defective DVD, or a dirty/defective optical drive mechanism. If all DVDs do it, then most likely the mechanism. The usual advice is to try a lens cleaner, or something like partially inserting a credit card with a thin cloth over it to try to attract any lint. Failing that, it may require a new optical drive.

  • After installing Mavericks, my DVD player icon is missing from my launchpad. How do I get it back?

    I installed Mavericks yesterday and then tried to watch a movie.That is when I noticed the icon for the dvd player is no longer in the launchpad. If I put the disk in the drive it opens on it own or if I search for DVD player it will come up under a spotlight or finder. How do I get the icon back on my launchpad? I don't want to have to search/insert a movie everytine I want to watch one. I would lik to be able to just click the icon to open the player. Thanks.

    cfkola,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    I believe you must be referring to the Solution Center Printer software and not your Control Panel.
    Your Solution Center shortcut may just be missing -- or there may be a deeper issue with your printer software.
    The easier option might be to reinstall the Full Feature Software for your printer and see if that solves all the troubles at one time. 
    In most cases, for most printers, the Solution Center has been replaced with the Printer Assistant shortcut.  This is just a new program that does about the same things as the Solution Center.  Some people like it better.  The interface looks a bit different -- many of the features are the same; for example, your scanning and ink check features will be available.
    The instructions to (re)install the printer software are provided in this Dragon document:

  • DVD Movies won't play after 10.4.10 / DVD Player 4.6.1 Updates...

    CDs will boot fine, blank DVDs will mount fine, but when I insert a DVD movie; the drive won't mount and the DVD player will not play my discs. I currently have a Pioneer DVR-109 installed in my PowerPC G5. Any information or help please.

    SOME GOOD NEWS!
    IT DEFINITELY IS A TIGER ISSUE... here's a little workaround... although in a tricky way, i got my commercial dvd's to finally play. do the following and let me know if it will work for you as well.
    -insert a movie dvd (commercial)
    -when told that the disc is not readable and prompted to eject or ignore hit ignore
    -you will not see the disc mount on your desktop
    -open vlc and hit play. choose "disc" for destination and hit okay (don't try with apple's dvd player, IT WILL NOT WORK)
    -you will now see the movie title in your playlist, select it and play it... it works!!
    good luck and until we find a permanent fix we can still watch movies on our macs! BTW, i used vlc 0.8.6c for this test on 10.4.10. incase you're not familiar with vlc, it's a free video player and you can download it from number of places on the internet.

  • Final Cut HD produced video stops halfway on dvd player

    So, I'm having an issue that I have never experienced. The movies that I have edited on Final Cut HD and burned on IDVD seem to stop half way on my dvd player. I've edited three different movies and they all seem to stop half way on the dvd player or just wont play on any dvd player... i can press foward on the dvd player but the movie has little squares all over. Apple has sent me a new dvd burner and I after burning a new disk last night, I had the same issue. When I open the movie and review on Final Cut, their does not appear to be corrputed video. I have also tried another brand of DVD+R DL disk and nothing. I need your help because my clients are getting anctious. thanks.

    If the exported file looks OK in the QT player, you might try asking the question on the iDVD forum and see if anyone there has come across the problem. It sounds like a hardware issue though.
    You might try building a disk image in iDVD and see if that place correctly on your computer before you burn it. That will tell you if it's an encoding problem or a burning problem.

  • DVD Player Quit

    I attempted to play the DVD "Star Wars Episode II", and DVD Player quit with a message "encountered a system error -47".
    According to Apple article 9805, this was a "File is busy" error.
    I ejected the DVD and it was able to play normally after reinsertion and restarting DVD Player.
    What is going on here?

  • DVD Player Problems

    My DVD player seems to skip on brand new DVD's. It freezes for a few seconds, then move forward for a second, then freezes again. Also, sometimes I get "Error -96682", but sometimes I don't. It also has the tendency to "skip damaged areas", even on new DVD's.

    After innstalling Snow Leopard, DVD player does not work with any of my DVDs and the symptoms you describe about the drive spinning and jumping is excactly what seems to be going on. I first noticed it a little time after innstalling Snow Leopard and I am wondering if these problems started for me after I innstalled the 10.6.1 update. It seems we have the same machine from 2206, so maybe there is a problem with Snow Leopards driver routines for the combo drive in the 2006 MacBooks?
    VLC does not work either, but the DVDs play fine on VLC on Windows XP at work. I don't have a TV, so all my DVDs are useless now...

  • Account Specific Apple DVD Player Audio Problem

    I accidently went reverse with the wrong "sticky key" locked during a dvd. (I thought I'd pressed "command-arrow")
    Since this I have no audio on any  video when using the  DVD Player software IN THIS ACCOUT ONLY.
    After restarting both the DVD player and the Mac with no success, I switched user accounts, and continued watching said dvd with no problem. Switching back, still no sound.
    Clearly I created an error in my user account prefs. In the past, an easy fix.  But where do I find the user library/prefs in Mountain Lion?

    Hi Chris,
    Found the "easy" approach..  
    A) Hold Option while selecting the Go Menu while in the Finder. The User Library shows as "Library".
    B) Keep holding Option as you select Library.  (If using Sticky Keys, this means lock the Option Key at point A.)
    TADA! The user library is opened before one's eyes. 
    From there, I switched user accounts via fast user switching, repeated the above.  Next I copied the DVD Player folder in Application Support to an external drive, switched back, and replaced the corrupted user folder by copying the one on the external drive.
    Sound has returned to the DVD Player!  It was likely one file, but none popped out at me, so I just replaced the entire file.

  • Why does DVD player app freeze?

    When I try to watch movies on my mac book (roughly eight months old), I cannot pause or stop the disc without the DVD Player application freezing. This was never a problem until a few weeks ago. My trusty mac has never been dropped, spilled on, etc, so I don't know why created this issue.
    Please help if you can!
    Thank you!

    Everyone is experiencing the same problem. We all have to wait for apple to come out with a ios update that addresses the issue and only God knows when that is going to happen. Good luck with everything.

  • Jacket Picture displays in simulator; not in DVD Player

    I added Jacket Picture as described in the manual. It works in the simulator (when you press Stop, the picture is displayed instead of a black screen.)
    After I build the project, it doesn't work in DVD Player. Should it?
    The build folder does indeed have a JACKET_P folder, containing 3 files:
    J00_5L.mp2
    J00_5M.mp2
    J00_5S.mp2
    There's also an empty PAR folder in the JACKET_P folder as well.
    The log file during the build shows the jacket pictures being built....
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hey Stephen!
    Yes. You have to format a disc image to hard drive and then mount and play it; or write a disc first, before the Jacket Pictures display in the Apple DVD Player - most of the time after you hit stop.

  • DVD Player picture size

    I have the new Mac Mini, connected to a Pioneer 50 in plasma as a media center. When I first got it, DVD's would play full-screen. Then I fiddled with the audio in DVD Player, to get DD 5.1 output, which now works. Now DVD's don't play full screen, they play in a window about 3/4 of full screen. The desktop is full-screen (with overscan).
    I can't seem to find way to expand DVD picture to full screen. I've tried all the preferences in DVD Player. Ahh, the joys of a new computer.

    When you play a DVD with the DVD Player application, and not Front Row, what size does it default to? If the DVD Player application was stopped in the middle of playing a full-screen size movie, it will come out of full-screen mode. When you play your next movie, the DVD Player application will remember this. Perhaps when you were adjusting your audio preferences, the full-screen mode was interrupted?
    I don't have a computer with Front Row, but it sounds like it's running the DVD Player with its default preferences, which now may not be to play at full-screen, and it doesn't give you options to change it directly from inside Front Row. So, I would open a movie in the DVD Player directly, switch to full-screen mode and after the screen adjusts, just quit the DVD Player program. Then try it with Front Row to see if it remembers the full-screen display now. Or can you type on the keyboard while the movie is playing? Apple-0 (command and zero) is the keyboard command to change to full-screen mode.

  • I have an '09 macbook and want to transfer selected pictures to a disc that will play on my tv's dvd player.  How do I do this?

    I have an '09 macbook and want to select specific pictures to put on a disc that will play on my televisions dvd player.  How do I do that?

    OM gosh!  After working on this for 2 days, by golly, I got it!  I used Free App DVD Creator.  I had first tried to burn the disc in PAL Format.....wrong format for the good 'ol USA.  After a little research I learned that the USA format is NTS.....so I chose that and it worked!  I now have a disc I can play on our dvd player on the TV.  Thanks all for above assistance.  Problem now solved!
