Use iso as video in menu

hey there,
i'm getting a bluray iso from my post house. But i want to create a menu with extras and subtitles and all that stuff in Encore, is it possible to use that iso as a video inside of my menu?
thanks for your help

No. The iso is the exact structure of the compiled Bluray disk.
You can try to find tools to extract the .ts files but Encore is likely to try to re-transcode them.
If the content is plenty smaller than the disk (i.e. if it does not need to be re-transcoded to make it smaller to fit once you add extras, menus, etc), ask them for the transcoded, but not muxed, files from the project.

Playback of DVD Studio Pro 4 built SD video file - Menu 1 screen is WHITE!!

I recently upgraded from FCP 4.5 with DVD Studio Pro 3 to FCS with DVD Studio 4. I have resolved a number of problems with the upgrade by reading "Apply Discussions", however, I need help with the following: When I import my mpeg2 and AC3 files into DVD SP4, I use the DVD SP4 palette to select an Apple Template for my MENU 1. (I like the "Theater Interior" menu template.) When I view the final product with the DVD SP4 simulator, everything is great including the colors in MENU 1. So, I build my program onto my desktop, the same way I did when I had DVD SP3. Now, the problem begins. When I view the built video TS file on my G5 Apple DVD player, or format it to a standard DVD-R with my pioneer 106D burner and play it back on my in-house DVD player, when the program MENU 1 is displayed on the monitor, it is WHITE in color. The menu is set to times out in 20 seconds. Once that happens, the programs runs perfectly. However, what's with the white menu screen? I can barely make out the buttons. When I click on a button, it operates and the color and program work perfectly from that point. I there an option to get rid of the white screen when the menu comes up? Somehow, when DVD SP4 builds the video file, MENU 1 is encoding with a white background rather than with the colors of the Apple template in use. This did not happen with DVD SP3. Can you help me?

try switching the menu encoding from software to hardware (or vice versa) in your DVDSP preferences and see if that makes a difference for you.

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Use of Audio & Video in Encore Menus (CS4)

Hello,
I'm using Encore CS4 on Windows 7. I've searched for some tutorials or other posts on the topic, which were helpful, but incomplete.
I want to add a video preview with audio on the main menu of a standard DVD (not blu-ray). However, I want to have the video preview placed in the lower left quadranth of the menu (with the navigation button flanking it on the right lower quadranth and titles centered on the upper half). What would be the best way to achieve that?
A couple ways I tried to do this:
1) I tried to use use of the video buttons that come with Encore's library, but I found it was too cumbersome trying to remove the text and borders that came with the video buttons in Photoshop. It didn't have the look I aiming for. Essentially, all I really wanted was a simple rectangular box to house the preview video. So, I made a rectangular box in Photoshop as a layer and saved the menu in Encore. I added to the video to the rectangular box in Encore and selected the animate buttons as required. There was no audio, so I linked the audio from the file in the properties box of the motion menu. Unfortunately, once I rendered the motion menu, the audio was out of sync when I previewed it, and I didn't know how to remedy that.
2) Another approach I tried was to simply lasso the audio and video clips in the Properties section of the motion menu with the video file I had (mpeg), The audio was synced, but the video filled the entire background of the menu with the titles and buttons over the video. Is there anyway to restrict this video to a certain section of the menu or will Encore only allow it to take up the entire background?
Also, with both approches, I noticed when I previewed the menu (after rendering, of course), every time I scrolled across one of the navigation buttons, the preview video would restart versus just playing uninterupted. Is there anyway to set this up without having the video restart like that? [One thought: does this happen only because I am previewing the video and wouldn't happen once the project is built?]
I'm not very savvy with After Effects, but would using that help me achieve what I'm aiming for? Anyway, I appreicate any thoughts or insight on how I should approach this. Thanks in advance for your time! I really appreicate it!
Mick

As long as you have only one video you want to play in the window, you should have no problem.
Preview may not display correctly.
The easiest way to do what you want can be done in Premiere just as well as After Effects. All you are creating is the background video and audio. Any titles, buttons, and highlights can be done in Encore or Photoshop. I prefer PS.
In PR, bring in the menu background you want to see behind the background video. Add your movie over this. Use motion settings to resize and put the video where you want it. If you want to frame it, add a title with a graphic on the next track up.
Export this as a demuxed mpeg (m2v and ac3 or wav).
Import to EN and add a background video and audio.

Sunday 17-Jan-2010: In week 2 or week 3? Does Apple use ISO week dates?

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISOweekdate "All week-numbering years start with a Monday and end with a Sunday."
http://personal.ecu.edu/mccartyr/isowdcal.html shows this too.
However, my MBP running 10.5.8. shows today, Sun 17 Jan 2010 as week 3.
This can be seen quickly by, following http://lifehacker.com/316029/display-the-date-on-the-menubar and dragging the Week of Year into the clock time shown on the menu bar, and viewing it on a Sunday.
Or does Apple not follow the ISO week date numbering standard?
Thanks,
Martin.

Actually, Apple does use (or is supposedly using) ISO 8601, but the System Preferences settings can override some of these, such as the region, calendar, or first day of the week.
Actually, I think it is still an open question. According to Apple developer documentation:
NSISO8601Calendar Identifier for the ISO8601. The ISO8601 calendar is not yet implemented.
It does look like some of the conversions are a bit off, even in Snow Leopard, unless there is something I'm missing, too. Changing the date format (week starts with Monday) in System Preferences shows the correct week there (2), but getting the date from AppleScript, for example, shows week 3.
I played around with my system preferences and could change the week start day, but I could never get an ISO 8601 date. Today (Sun, Jan 17th, 2010), I get either week 4 (Sunday) or week 3 (Monday).
Clearly there are lots of date and time APIs to choose from and many of them on MacOS X already support this format. They haven't made it to the official system preferences level. Considering all the other calendar formats that Apple supports, I think this is a bug and mostly reflects MacOS X's American heritage. Americans don't use this value at all and don't even know to add it to a locale option.
I filed a bug report on it. Don't hold your breath for it getting fixed anytime soon. In the meantime, here is a widget that will display the current week number: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/weeknumber_ntnu.html

IChat WON'T WORK using audio or video chatting [PLEASE HELP]

Bought a Mac a couple months ago and I'm pretty (yeah, that's VERY) happy about it. The thing is when it comes down to my iChat, I wanted so much to have video conference with my family in Brazil while I'm studying in Spain -- but I Just can't! =(
Let's put it that way: iChat won't recognize my (Googlechat) friends and their webcams; and as long as I'm connected, I have never seen any sort of "audio label" beside their names.
So can any Mac-pro please help me out explaining what the matter is?
Can't I talk to my friends just because the're using PCs -- or there's nothing to do with it?
I've tried everything, from Preferences to Praying; and it won't work. Just wanna let you guys know that all the people that I'm trying to talk to have webcams and microphones plugged-in.
PS - Plus, I got this huge agenda full of contacts (around 2,000) that appear to be on my iChat list, but they're somehow never online. Is that because I have to send them an invitation to join my Googlechat? =/
I'm totally lost here.
I'd appreciate if you people could answer me quick - as you always do here =). Tomorrow I'll have this unique chance to talk to my grandmother (for she's living in some sort of farm far away from civilized world) and I'd REALLY want to chat via Video Conference with my family tomorrow night.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can Add an Google Mail ID (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) as your ID/screen Name in iChat.
From iChat to iChat this will also do Video or Audio Chats as well as Text chats.
From iChat to anyone using the Google Web Mail page you can text chat as the Video and Audio codecs are different.
The same is true of the PC app for GoogleTalk.
To be able to login in to Google Talk using iChat your have to Enter you ID as it is written on any Google Page when you are logged in (Ends with either @gmail.com or @google.com), Mail seems to cope with either but iChat needs it to match.
You also have to Enable the Talk option on your Google Account info.
To See the Green Video and audio icons go to the View Menu of ichat and Select Show Audio and Show Video.
If you are trying to Chat with a PC I would use one of these
Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser
MeBeam. An option to use a Web site that create Private room for Video Chatting. Uses Flash to access your Camera and Mic.
iVideoChat Similar setup but a somewhat corporate type look to the site. Has Public rooms as well. Again uses Flash.
Googlemail/GoogeTalk now do a Version in a Web Browser
Tokbox A Site that can link your existing Buddy Lists that Uses Flash to Video chat in a Browser.
From http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other
Tokbox allows you to link to existing Buddy Lists.

I created my first movie using one long video (all photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original but retain the audio. Can I?

I created my first movie using one long video (a montage of photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original video, but retain the audio. Can I? And if so, how. I cant seem to
find the info anywhere in help.

I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

Satellite A105- S4384 - How to use the s-video port

What is the way to use a s-video cord to connect my 4384 to use TV as a screen?
I use Linux Ubuntu 8.04... thanks

Hi
Usually you dont need any special workarounds to establish the connection with the external TV.
You have to connect the notebook with the TV using the s-video cable.
Please note that the s-video channel should be enabled on your TV.
Then you could change the video output in the graphic card properties.
Using a Windows OS, you would be able to switch to the external TV pressing the FN+F5 buttons but as far as I know on Linux OS this feature will not work.

What do I need to connect my Mac Mini to a TV using the S-video jack?

Radio Shack didn't have anything in the store and suggested
that what I needed (something with an S-video connector
at the adapter end and a co-ax/F-connector at the TV end)
would cost $100.
What should I be looking for? I'd like the option to connect
my Mac Mini to a TV (with enough resolution to read text,
which isn't the case with a video-RCA cable), especially in
a hotel room (using the Mac Mini as a laptop!).

The DVI to video adapter

will give best results using the S-Video. Next best is composite video. If your TV set does not have either of these, you will need a RF modulator to connect to the TV antenna connector. For best results get a modulator that takes S-video. It should cost a lot less than $100.00 Radio Shack has one for $25
<http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103095&cp=&origkw=rfmodulator&kw=rfmodulator&parentPage=search>
No matter what connection you use, a standard TV will not give you better than 640 x 480 resolution, so it will always be hard to read small text.

Using DVI to Video/ S-video Adapter

I have been trying to use my DVI to Video/S-video adapter with my Daewoo Flat Screen (not flat panal) TV. I have tried every resolution and still everything is small and Fuzzy and it is extremely hard to make out anything. Im wanting to use that adapter to play my game. I am connecting using a S-Video Cable. Please any help. It is a regular Television set NOT LCD or Plasma or any kinda of flat panal just has a flat screen.
Thanks.
SaL

Not necessarily. It will depend on what eventually solves the problem. I think you still have a couple of choices to try:
1. Download (& purchase) a copy of DisplayConfigX. This utility will allow you to "manually" set resolutions that your mini can provide, basically "overridding" what the mini thinks is connected to it. (ref: http://www.3dexpress.de/)
2. Replace the DVI-to-S-Video adapter to rule out the adapter being the problem. (You may want to try this first.)

No display after sleep with macmini using DVI - S-video/composite under XP

Hi guys, I have installed XP on my mini. I have CRT TV so I'm using
DVI -> S-video/composite to output to my TV.
The problem is after sleep - there is no display (it's woking only after reset).
I installed the latest drivers from the mac os 10.5 DVD & updated the graphics driver from Intel.
Please help

Unfortunately, no answer, as I'm having the similar problem with a Samsung SyncMaster 215tw and a G4 Mini. It works with the DVI-VGA adapter and the VGA cable into the montor's VGA port. However, connecting with the G$ Mini's DVI port with the monitor's DVI port using a DVI cable doesn't work. I cannot figure out why this doesn't work.
The DVI cable is good and the monitor's DVI port is good, as the connection does work using my friend's Intel Mini's DVI port connected to the monitor's DVI port using the DVI cable.
The monitor is new, too, and otherwise works fine with my other Macs connected with the VGA port. (I've not tried the additional ports as yet.)
Although the monitor is supposed to synchroize automatically, I also tried manually presetting the G4 Mini to different resolutions, but that didn't make any difference. The screen remains black when it should be showing the booting Apple icon.
Any idea what is going wrong here, please, as it sounds as if this same thing occurs with various monitors?

Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be adjusted.
I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

If I have a list of Vimeo videos on a webpage, how can I use just one video frame and have all videos play in that one frame?

I am creating a page with a list of Vimeo video links. I want to have only one video frame on the page. So no matter which video link a user clicks on, the chosen video needs to play in that one video frame on the page. How do I do this in Muse?
Thanks.

You can use composition widget for this. Insert the video details in trigger container and then insert that corresponding vimeo video widget in that specific target container. So It would work like, users will click on different video buttons but the actual video will play on same frame which is actually a target container of composition.
The ID that we use for vimeo widget cannot be used for different videos on same time , because every video shares its own ID and url. But you can surely try the above.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How do I dispute a copyright claim against a video i made using a trailer in iMovie? The only content I used was the video I shot of friends daughter on a merry-go-round.IMovie had the music etc that I used.

How do I dispute a copyright claim against a video i made using a trailer in iMovie? The only content I used was the video I shot of friends daughter on a merry-go-round.IMovie had the music etc that I used. Here's the message It gives a number of options to choose from if I want to dispute the claim but I don't know which one this would come under. Several obviously don't apply and of the ones left I don't know which content that is in IMovie that I use comes under. "This video is my original content and I own the rights to it" "I have a license or written permission of the property rights holder to use this material" "My use of the content meets the legal requirements for fair use of fair dealing under applicable copyright laws" or "The content is in the public domain or is not eligible for copright protection."

You want to use the "I have a license..." option, since clearly the music is not yours, but Apple has granted you a license.
For your license, see this document, section 2.M. http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iMovie.pdf
For more on this irritating problem and why it is so hard to solve, see this article. (It is a problem for Final Cut Pro users as well.)
