Theme buttons won't work on DVD Player

I created several movies in iMovieHD and created a DVD (v 7.0.1) with those movies plus a slideshow. After a few errors (including the muxing error which i fixed by eliminating chapters) i got a DVD that, when placed in my DVD player, showed the theme (memories) and buttons.
However, i could not get my DVD player to switch among the buttons. if i pressed ENTER on my DVD remote, it would play one of the movies, but i couldn't switch around.
It did work on another DVD player however.
I am using DVD-R discs.
Any ideas? or do i just need a new DVD player?
It is a relatively new (but cheap) Coby.
thank you,
Jen

Hi,
Just to see what would happen i tinkered with it a bit and it now works.
I changed the button type - the original (non-working type) had a dot next to it when selected, and i changed it to a type that was underlined when selected.
also, i had my buttons on two rows - one long button on top and four below. i shortened the name of the long one and fit them all on two rows. that way the dvd navigation only had to manage left and right not up and down AND left and right.
not sure which reason was the issue but it now works fine.

Blinking Buttons DVD won't work in DVD player

I have been trying to burn a DVD multiple times. I have made hundreds of DVD's with DVD studio pro, and have never seen this problem before. When The DVD is done, when I put it in a DVD player, the button on the menu is blinking like crazy and it is impossible to select or activate it. I've tried remaking the project file and every dvd I make has this same issue. What is going on? Please help.

I saw this on my first DVDSP project many years ago, and it is indeed a combination of the duration, loop point, and timeout/end jump. I believe it was a duration of 0 on a motion menu, with the menu set to loop. Just double-check the menu properties in the inspector.

Dvd studio pro: DVDs won't work on DVD player and windows computer

Hi
I have burnt some dvds on DVD Studio Pro I checked they were set to SD and PAL and have played them on my MAC and DVD player no problem but now I am hearing back from my client that they tried playing them on their windows computer and laptop and their DVD player and it isn't working what could be the reason for this?
From Mike

You can see if they have another software player available. Usually VLC is a good option. Windows player can be a bit all over the place depending on patches of the OS and other items. I have encountered some strange things, including people claiming that DVDs I have authored were doing things that had nothing to do with the DVD (beyond the scope of what a DVD can do, etc.)
When you say DVD Player, does this mean they are also trying to play it in a DVD Player (real player and not in computer?) How did you burn the DVD? Straight from DVD SP? Check first play settings and other items?
These are some of the first things I would be starting with, particularly if real DVD players (not in computers) are concerned. It also can be something as small as dirt or scratches on the DVD itself. Some machines can be better at compensating than others are.

Burned DVD won't work after DVD player 4.6.1

I made a DVD of my daughter's wedding two days ago and it played fine on my iMac G5. Yesterday I updated the DVD player with the DVD 4.6.1 update and now I can't get my DVD to show up on the desktop or play in the DVD player. Any thoughts?

I also trashed the iDVD plist to see if that will speed up my DVD burning.
Ain't gonna' happen. You should create a disk image and then burn DVDs.
File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Disk Utility to burn the DVD.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Encore burned DVD won't work in DVD Player

I just created, built and burned a DVD in the latest version of Encore on my i7 MacBook Pro. After the disc is burned, it works perfectly in both a PC and a mac computer. Unfortunately it doesn't work in my Vizio DVD/Blue-Ray Player. I have double checked to make sure normal DVDs play normally, which they do.
The contents of the DVD take up about 4.65 GBs of space and include a few PDFs as DVD-ROM.
I literally followed every instruction to the letter and am just not sure why it's not working in the DVD Player. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The DVD burner is the stock burner on the 2012 MacBook Pro 13inch (not retna display) I think it's a: Matshita DVD-R UJ-8A8(Firmware HB14)
The DVD was just a Maxwell DVD-R, 4.7GB, 16x.
I will try burning without the DVD-ROM contents and let you know.
Thanks again for helping me with this.

Can't switch buttons when playing on a dvd player

I searched the discussions and was unable to find an answer to my problem.
How do you get the dvd to select different buttons when played on a dvd player? When I play the dvd on a computer the buttons are highlighted when the mouse is placed on them, but when I play the dvd on a dvd player, I can't get it to navigate through the different buttons on the menus. I can only select the first button on the page. I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Choose the button and go into the advanced tab in the inspector. You can then set the Up, Down, Left and Right function for your dvd buttons. DVD SP will set it up automatically if you like BUT if you have a more complex menu you can set your button navigation manually. Manually gives you a little more control and creativity. When you simulate in DVD SP the buttons will highlight as if on a computer if you use your mouse. If you were to use the button keys (up down arrows) in the simulator you would notice they don't work either. Set you button navigation in the advanced tab in the button inspector...

Power button and voice control buttons won't work on my macbook pro retina

I found that my power and voice control buttons won't work on my new Macbook pro retina. I can't shut it down or restart it in any way. And Im afraid if I force to shut it down I can't turn on it cuz the power button won't work. What should I do? Any idea???

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Facetime and Messages if either is running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following item from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try the applications again. If they work now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit again. In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Trash. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash too.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again.

2 buttons won't work that were created exactly like a many others that work.

I am using Flash CS4 with actionscript 2 to create an interacitve portfolio. I have 2 text buttons that work when I test them with "enable simple buttons." When I publish to IE these buttons won't work. I have created over 50 buttons using the same methods, they all work. Any idea what might be wrong?

I have attached an edited version which shows working buttons and the ones we are having trouble with.
If you publish this in IE, the only button that will work is the last one on the entry page ("Writing"). This is because I have deleted all the other info to reduce the file size
On the next page the "Blog Excerpts" and "English Notebook" links are the ones that have been configured but do not work. The "Home" page on top does work. As you can see, the buttons have all been created the same way.
Thanks for being willing to help work this out.

Back & forward buttons won't work after going full screen

I have a Logitech cordless mouse. When ever I'm watching a
video, like on You Tube, and I go to full screen, my mouse
back/forward buttons won't work, and I have to re boot my computer.
I have tried every thing Logitech told me to do, but still have the
problem. They think it's a flash player problem. I saw that one
other person in the forums has the same problem. Any ideas?
Thanks, Shawn.

I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

Vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word

Question:
I have a T42 ThinkPad and the vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word and therefore not in my email either. Big pain in butt as I'm so used to using it. Are there any patches that fix that? Any ideas on why it won't work?

It's really weird. My suggestion would be that you install the most up-to-date driver by direct downloading or via System Update (if you haven't updated the driver).
